Before Contact, all colonies were major governmental or international endeavors, taking years or decades to plan and organize.  In the century before The War, smaller private organizations began to expand into the vast reaches of the Outer Colony Region.  One such organization from Kansas colonized New Salina.  We passed through the system during The War, chasing a Russian fleet.  I left a shard behind, and now I sell dress suits to enterprising young men.
