Note: this is my version of how I believe life would be when humans begin to expand in to this area of the galaxy. It also envolves theories of my own.

History
Year is 2138, and humans are developing a way to create artificial gravity. A magnogravity device is created, that works by creating a field around an area, where at the base, a high pressure and energy is forced, creatting a super heavy mass, but is at the same time wieght less being pure force.These Devices are expensive and are hard to aquire. after some years, they are used in the USA Marines, and a new form of army.

The first Space ship built for war was created in 2156, and only years later, the European Union begin building a city in space, named "Grace". It orbits Earth, and was built from nearby astroids, by robotic engineers, with human assistance. Soon many more cities are built. America, Canada, Russia, Japan, and many countries of Europe, form an alliance, and decide to build 26 City sized ships, named after the zodiacs. A device the allows high speeds to continue in space is created, that produces kenitic energy, by creating blasts of plasma in one end, causing force to propell the ship in the opposite deriction. Evventually, the Zodiac cities are upgraded to use a light speed drive, that will cause the Plasma Propellers to force the ship to move in light speed. Because of the lack of air, and matter, there is no friction, allowing a ship to continue to move forward, with only one burst, until an opposing force, of equal or more energy stops it. (that being a second thrust from the other direction. this saves alot of power, needing only to use power to turn.)

Some ships were departed from the solar system in 2100 in celebration of the new century, and scouted the vast area we call the galaxy. They kept in contact with the newly upgraded Internet, and devices that at the time can fire a signal more than a thousand times the speed of light, leaving a 1 second delay to who ever is a the rim of the Solar system. To hold this signal, the scouts would leave Stalites, that capture these signals and fire them to the next, at every light year. 25 years later these ships recieve and upgrade the increases the efficiantcy of the Light Drives power, allowing a faster speed with less power. They were ordered to return to earth with there map of the 25 light year area. The upgrade allows the ships to travel faster than light. About 10 times faster. 2 years later, all ships return. 600 people die from solar waves caused by unstable stars. 700 people return with cancer. 200 million people were sent off in the City ships in total, 435.5 million returnned.

Diary/Logs
Here are Diary logs of people who were on board some of these colonies.

Dear Diary It was my Birthday yesterday, and it was pretty cool! Im now OFFICIALLY 14! WooHOO! Well, today we passed by a "nomad" planet (planet with out a star). I find it funny how they can even be made! no stars or anything! Space is so beautiful. My teacher says that earth is WAY more better. I wouldn't know. I'v been on the "Flame of Desire" all my life. It's the most amazing ship EVER! the other day we almost lost the Shadow of Sin, they made a wrong turn! lol! it was funny. dang. Reminds me of that time when we almost got stuck in that star's pull. I think it was called Cynthia, because the person who noticed it was in our course was Cynthia. My friend. Her dad is like the leader of the Flame, and she was looking at everything, and saw the star! it was like so awesome! anyways... about that nomad planet. It's the same as the others. only a little different. Cold, icy, and rocky. no life, not light. But I like to wear the EV suits! (Environmental) There comfy, and are good for when it's way to hot, or cold. There confy, and stylish! will thats all. -Samantha

Log #6159, This is Private James Nile. I've just been enroled in to duty on board the Flower of Pride. My uncle suggested me to join, a few months ago, and here I am! My father's been infected by cancer. Darn radiation has been penetrating the ships shields. We've been low on power, and are forced to return to earth. Our Energy Converters' been damaged, and we can't recharge. Thankfully our air filters are in working order. We've had a little trouble however with our farms. A few cows are dieing. We think it's a disease, So we separated the infected ones. We think the disease was mutated by the radiation. After examining the Cow, we slaughtered them because of the side effects. It had a similar effect to Small Pox, but caused horrible distortion, with pain. I pray for the poor animals. We also seem to become over populated with dogs. This doesn't pose a problem but They are getting a bit exhausting to care for. Any ways, by little baby brother just said his first words. It was cute. I guess that all I had to say.
