At Sol, life was in a peculiar place.  [[The Vanguard]] system collapsing led to the system becoming multiple factions, of which had been a mix of dissident as no loyalist groups could form a major post-Vanguard faction and indeed they had formed a coalition to hunt down those former loyalists behind the worst of the Blue One's atrocities while other loyalists laid low.  Multiple societies in sol had emerged, mostly on mixed lines with lots of disputes on who claimed what.  The major players were the Arctic Concord, Andea, the Galilean Pact, the Himalayans and there being people who attempting to revive China but the Himalayans wouldn't let them.  Neonationalist forces tried to push a revival of the old Terran societies in many places, but they lacked number or power and the identity people went by just wasn't on those geographic or national lines at all.  Additionally populations of people in the orbital grid that had a group of people who called themselves the People of the Equinox.  For it was the Equinox Disruption that they view as what liberated earth from the Blue One's tyranny.  However those on Earth and around Jupiter (which had come to host the largest population of people outside Earth due to the dense network of artificial worlds and such.  They came to see themselves as multiple groups who hosted a lot of dissident groups under the Blue One's nose with martyred leaders from the 2400's filling their halls.  Indeed welcome to what can be called the outside context problem.  These people didn't really think much of colonies and had over the centuries came to basically see themselves as semi-loyal to the Vanguard, just doing whatever for them when it was less strict but turning to dissidence when the Blue One cracked down on their worlds with threat of blacking out their streams or even demolition of their artificial worlds if they did not follow the codes.  Most on sol actually didn't connect around with colonies outside of certain favored colonies and much of that ended with the [[Vataland]] Catastrophe that led to populations wary of traveling out to colonies- restrictions in and out of sol for civilians also was much more intense.  Communication signals had to be grabbed through relay ships that hit and run data streaming from nearby stars or the oort cloud where dissidents from Sol were hiding from the enforcers.  In general the century of isolation in Sol the Blue One caused led to an overwhelming information [[flux|Flux]] in the 2480's as the utter catastrophe of the Blue One's colonial policies became absolute and total.  There was no Vanguard, all around Sol, chaos.  And the enforcement systems had their control factors destroyed with the general census being to destroy them with wariness of centralized autoenforcement at an all time high.  Many still feared AGI on earth and would for a time to come, but uplifted animals and more intense augments appeared in the vogue leading to a growth of adaptive groups and the explosion of peoples.  By 2530 one does see all matter of strange uplifts in sol, the first sol centric.  There also was many people who just left sol to other systems despite the scattered interstellar mess things had become to factions like the Consortium or to places like the Regnant if not to the Domain of Kus which was the first faction to make a go to Earth themselves only to find that the solar defense fleets were still pretty hostile to them.  Indeed the general policy people had made was that the solar system is to be a free system and would not be for any of the weird colonial societies that sprung up.  They wanted nothing to do with it and had internal problems to sort out as is. The post-Vanguard generations of people had those who wanted to try unification again and more traction for reviving old world nations they never lived in.  The most successful of those efforts would be the various small city state based polities that appeared around many parts of the world, but there was just no desire to resume old world feuds when a lot of the interconnection left over from centuries of vanguard world stuck.   Many did try to coopt and revive old earth aesthetics, with religious revivalism being the most successful strain with the faith void the blue one's vison.  So there would actually be some successes with neonats, but there would be complications they ran into in how there are powerful societies that just held new identities.  There are those who did believe Sol should be a unified entity and even consider revanchist actions when possible, as is they kept a large fleet that while not that sustainable would find use in fending off the Golden Swarm and technobarbarians.  ## Post-Vanguard Factions (Warring Factions Period) ![[Arctic Concord]] ![[People of the Equinox CANON ISSUE]].  ![[Andeans]] ![[Hymalites]] ![[The Pacificans]] ![[Galileans]] ![[The Swiss]] ## After the Great Siege The invasion by [[Tarma Vis|Tarma Vis]] had caused a reconsolidation among the scattered factions on Earth and by extension, the rest of the solar system. Where before mutual hostilities and bitterness over lost dreams prevailed, now came the time where fighting off the nightmares of their arrogant ancestor's own creation was tantamount. ![[Sol in 2740]] #Galactic-Region/plexus #human #homeworld #tundric #earthlike
