In 2210 the first signals of probes at [[Alpha Centauri]] confirmed a habitable planet existing outside our solar system. From this point on, probes continued to arrive in neighboring star systems and soon life is discovered on Tau Ceti 3. Thus begins a new path of exploration and discovery. With the knowledge that [[Tau Ceti]] could support life, a colony ship was sent there. Before long the first colony to exist outside our star system [[Sol]] was formed. With the proof that life could exist outside Earth, a mass exodus began. Massive ships were constructed to establish human colonies anywhere that may support human life. The expansion of humanity rapidly moved apace crossing the void between star systems. New colonies and ultimately cities were formed. The Federation is dominated by corporations. They control many aspects of life, politics and business within Federation space. Most aspects of life is focused on profit. Whilst [[corporations]] are not above the law, they hold a very wide remit as far as what they're permitted to do in the name of profit concerns.

That said, the Federation does respect human life in its own way and much more so than the [[Empire]]. Although the Federation doesn't respect freedom as much as the [[Alliance]].<ref name=":1" /> | ||
The colossal requirements of modern interstellar economies can only be met by super-rich and super-powerful [[corporations]], whose innumerable companies gouge entire worlds for minerals and foods, and whose factories churn out the basic goods trillions of people need to survive. Without them and their continual drive for ever higher growth, people would starve, choke or become isolated on worlds surrounded by technology they cannot use or maintain.<ref>[https://www.edrpg.co.uk/what-s-in-the-books Elite Dangerous Role Playing Game, Corporate Guide book]</ref> | The colossal requirements of modern interstellar economies can only be met by super-rich and super-powerful [[corporations]], whose innumerable companies gouge entire worlds for minerals and foods, and whose factories churn out the basic goods trillions of people need to survive.

Humans primarily reside in a colonized region colloquially known as "the Bubble", which contains about 19,000 [[Star Systems|star systems]]. They originated from the single-star system [[Sol]] and the terrestrial planet Earth in the Orion-Cygnus Arm of the [[galaxy|Milky Way]]. Humans have created more bubbles in deep space such as [[Colonia]]. | Humans primarily reside in a colonized region colloquially known as "the Bubble", which contains about 19,000 [[Star Systems|star systems]].
