Welcome bright readers. Thanks for being here.
This week we’re going over some ancient Earth history for our readers who aren’t familiar with the human homeworld.
The period from Earth Year 2190 to 2391was called the Pax Veridis (not to be confused with the drug of the same name). Shortly after Marcus Johnson left for planet Harappa a text called the Green Bible was attributed to him on Earth. We now know the book was a fraud created by a think tank to control the masses. A new religion formed around this text and very soon the Greenies took over. They filled the vacuum left by the fall of world governments around the globe.
They established the Leadership Council which ruled for the Greenies. The Scribes Guild was formed to be the face and voice of the LC and soon the actual leaders disappeared from public view. Eventually the Criers Guild was absorbed into the fold and they became the controlling unit. The Criers were in every town and city letting the people know only what the LC wanted them to know.
Then shortly after humans from Earth made contact with Harappa a delegation of Harappans was sent to Earth on a diplomatic mission to reunite the human worlds. Well, that didn’t go so well did it? My friend Dorian Thain spoke up about the Green Bible having nothing in it that sounded like Marcus Johnson. That was the spark that ignited the Earth Revolution.
Soon, groups that had been long suppressed seized this moment to assault the LC and their fall was swift and complete.
The Science and Industry Division which was created by the Greenies to maintain food and other production as well as scientific research survived the Revolution in part because they provided so many tangible benefits but also because they distanced themselves from the LC as soon as things started falling for the Greenies.
