Anti-Exodus (Historic Era)

Anti-Exodus (abbreviated A.E) refers to the period of Human history before the great migration from Earth were large parts of the Human population settled on new worlds and created new space colonies. The Anti-Exodus calendar starts on January 1 1860. This have been regarded by later historians as the start of the more "modern" age of Human history, with such events as the Evolution Debate and the opening of the Nightingale School of Nurses marking the start of a more enlightened and modern society. The Anti-Exodus Era ended in 389 A.E (2249 A.D) with the massproduction of the Thodesen Light Drive and the launching of the first Paradise-Class colony ship. Much of the history of this era have been lost due to the collapse of the UEE and during the facist rule of the Solarian Federation which set out to destroy all the traces of the once-great UEE. It is today widely regarded as a simple and romantic age where people were concerned with their single planet, and not having to care for a wide star nation. Many today are also quizzical to the fact that there was no Alyanov Treatment in the A.E period, and therefore people lived relatively short lives.
