I first put my feet on Sunnydale in January of 2309. That’s the planet, not the star, or I wouldn’t be writing this fun little story right now. It was a bustling colony of three million people back then, though the ten million or so Alliance military personnel in system had created a bit of a population boom. And not just on account of us coming from all over the Alliance. We had to organize a rather impressive shore leave schedule, let me tell you, just to keep us from overloading the local capacity to handle visitors. But the locals were always happy to take our money. And let’s just say that Sunnydale had the highest birthrate of any Alliance colony world throughout The War and leave it at that.
