Space Opera: Star Sector Atlas 2

The origins of the Mercantile League of Planets are bound up in the Exodus period of human colonization of the galaxy (c. 2065-2190). The early phase of Mankind's settlement of worlds beyond the Solarian Starsystem was not the happiest period in the race's history. What might have been a glorious era in humanity's evolution was made morbid and cruel by the oppressive policies of the infamous Pure Earth movement on Terra.
