Persia went through some real changes back in the 2000s.  For one, they got rid of the name Iran.  Iranian fanatics did enough crazy stuff during the Islamic Jihad that the Persian Revolution wanted nothing to do with that name anymore.  They also made certain said fanatics contracted a permanent case of dead along the way.  And a surprising number of the Revolutionaries are still kicking.  A bit on the old side mind you, but they don’t forget.  Kinda scary that.

Everywhere we go, we find life that is compatible with us, that has the same basic genetic code.  Worlds we can live on are far more common and far more hospitable than pre-space scientists suggested.  Why?  Why are the Aliens we meet as human as we are?  Why do so many systems have so many habitable worlds?  Why is life out there related to life right here?  These are real big questions, and we are searching for the answers real hard.

The Wolfenheim Project was a giant leap for us.  A new colony expedition, not supported by any major government.  Funded by a single family in fact.  Of course they were bigger than most families, and better connected.  But most of the family didn’t even know they were funding it.  They didn’t react well when they found out.  And they were very well connected.  Their reaction was impressive.

In 1775, Reverend Clark and Deacon Parker of Lexington changed the world.  Clark welcomed John Hancock and Samuel Adams into his home when the British occupied Boston.  Parker organized the town militia in front of their church.  And when the British came to demand their surrender, they remained standing.  The British killed eight Colonists that day.  It is called The Shot Heard Round The World.

Persia’s had a long life as civilizations go.  Thousands of years.  They’ve seen lots of nations, lots of faiths, and lots of people flow through them.  And while others have conquered their land, nobody ever really conquered the people.  They waited, and when their occupiers revealed their idiocy, they took over again with their Persian Revolutions.  Every time.  Governments and names may come and go, but Persia is eternal in their eyes.
