Generation Three Completed

The final official generation of Vectors is released into the wilds: reptiles, aquatics, bats, some seals, raccoons, birds. The race has reconciled itself with its occasionally chaotic DNA, and most of the morphisms we know today are present in Gen 3. Date: Estimated,...

The Credit

“Credit” economy system developed, but without a strong backbone, it’s unstable. However, as Terra is a blackened cinder, no obvious currency basis exists.

Homeland Mars

Terraforming of Mars completed. Much of Terra’s wildlife has been transplanted. As the Gen One vectors age, they have children. The economy of Mars begins to take shape. Date: Estimated, a few years after Generation 3 begins

Owl Terror

One wing of the Avialae family mutates horribly, creating homocidal monsters. Hundreds of developing Vector embryos destroyed. Avialae’s reputation never completely recovers.

Generation Three: “Sink or Swim”

Planning for Vector Generation 3 begins, over 10,000 individuals. The equipment to create them would be decommissioned after their release. Birds, reptiles, aquatics are part of Gen III, ironically called “Project Sink or Swim.”

Protovector “Race” Fades Away

Without a stable breeding population, if any members of the “protovector” race survive the destruction of Terra, they are likely reaching the ends of their lifespans.

Hydra Unleashed

Backs to the wall, Terran corporations release a virus to seize control of government weaponry. Hydra launches weapons for the next six years.

Spaceport Nuclear Terror!

Hemi-Vector covert agent smuggles nuclear weapon into Mars, destroying spaceport and 700 human colonists. While heroic action saves the Mars base, the station’s doors are symbolically, and perhaps literally, closed.

Science Embraces the Cat-Girl

Terran scientists create “hemi-vectors,” hoping the added genetic diversity and resiliance would help preserve the species. Genetic modification can be applied to creatures after they are born. MarsCo begins hemivector refugee program (adding useful...

Escalation: Nuclear War on Terra

Cold-War era nuclear weapons brought into play in the War on Terra. Corporate hackers reroute many missiles, but situation escalates.

Generation Two: The “Golden” Generation

Vector Generation 2: “The Golden Generation.” Error-prone expressions of what would later be known as morphisms develop as flawed mutt protocols create mutations. 3,000 vectors added to the race’s population. Mustelidae, most of Rodentia.

Terra Firma: One World Government

Terra Firma created, a unified world government. Within 7 months they are bankrupt, as economy of supply/demand is not viable. Private military corporations side with the corptowns.

Protovectors – Generation One Fades

The first generation of humanoid designer pets nears the end of its ten-year lifespan. Many of them are beloved helpers and companions, and as they age and die, Terran sentiment toward vectors softens, somewhat.

Dogs given the vote

New Vectors awarded citizenship on Mars, laying foundation for CorpTown benefits and citizenship. Reactions on Terra vary widely.

MarsCo Goes Silent

Marsco’s videos to Terra of happy Vector cubs seem to do more PR hrm than good: Marsco goes silent. In the absense of communication, and with all Corps’ government-free status under question, Terran stress begins to turn to war.

Vector Panic

“Vector phobia.” Some governments deny vectors citizenship. Others apologetically withdraw from the discussion. Anti-vector scare campaigns with doctored footage spreads across Terra.

Terran Unrest Rising: Seeds of War

On Terra, arguments over legal status of vectors explode: Are they citizens? Corporate investments? Is MarsCo even an independent company? Date: Estimated, soon after Generation One

Generation One

Vector Generation 1: 180 individuals created from six species. Canines, Felines, some seals (more in 3rd gen) Ursines, Mongoose. Squirrels used as initial test cases, and may be first vectors. Date: Estimated, 5 years prior to canon “MarsCo Goes Silent”...
