''Stellar Year 112''

Mars is fully terraformed and has seen the majority of humanity shifted over to it, ostensibly to preserve the Earth as humanity's population approaches about half of what it was prior to WWIII. The Age of Pioneering has begun, driven by megacorporations who have expanded extremely aggressively following decades of booming industry on Earth.

Mars is fully terraformed and has seen the majority of humanity shifted over to it, ostensibly to preserve the Earth as humanity's population approaches about half of what it was prior to WWIII. Efforts begin to establish stations and human presence even further afield than Mars, which is called the beginning of The Age of Pioneering, driven by megacorporations who have expanded extremely aggressively following decades of booming industry on Earth.

The human sphere of life has extended into the asteroid belt and towards Jupiter, where numerous stations have been established. The subservient worker clones had become so great in number that 'natural' humanity was easily the minority. Fearing a clone revolt, the human rights of clones are recognized in a United Human Federation constitutional amendment which simultaneously prohibits the continuation of cloning and mandates the destruction of cloning technology. While combining the beauty, health, and longevity of the 'natural' humans with the endurance, resilience, and strength of the clones through interbreeding did result in an overall improvement for humanity, it resulted in unforeseen and irreversible damage to the Y chromosome. The genetic damage resulted in a gender imbalance of roughly 7 women for every 3 men and the feminisation of males, causing the most 'masculine' males to be no more than 165cm tall and soundly androgynous, while many more are as short as 150cm with prominent, feminine hips and very slight upper bodies. The total human population exceeds 10 billion people.

Jupiter’s moons are being terraformed and Ganymede emerges as the second most prominent population center outside of Mars. Voyager, the most powerful Megacorp and the ones responsible for most of humanity's biotech advancements, have created general-purpose nanomachines called 'Deus Ex Machina'. Unlike earlier medical and health nanomachines, who have finite uses and service lives, the Deus Ex Machina nanomachines are intended to continuously support the health of implanted individuals to survive the harshest of environments as they expand the human sphere beyond the Jupiter system. These nanomachines and their associated support implants find their way into the bodies of both the 'corporate-class' rich and those Megacorp employees sent out as pioneers and builders.

Saturn’s major moons begin colonization and some terraforming. Megacorps continue to keep the populace in line despite the distance by sending large private security forces to Saturn.

Saturn’s major moons begin colonization and some terraforming. Megacorps continue to keep the populace in line despite the distance by sending large private security forces to Saturn. Seeing that they have the place to themselves, the Megacorps make Titan into a major center for corporate activity. The most powerful Megacorps create new cities as their own fiefdoms, free from each other's influence and undermining as is common on Mars and Ganymede. Megacorp productivity and market caps soar for those able to bolster their operations in wider society with the output of these corporate cities.
