Scientific colonization efforts are sent far and wide throughout the solar system from the newly formed Coalition of Worlds. The Belt dispatched its first colonizing expeditions to the great sphere of Jupiter, populating her moons as the worlds of the Sol system began to unify after a fashion, lead by the Martian industrial capabilities. The nations of the Earth recognized they would have no way to keep hold of the old colonies with the limited capabilities they now held, and so, withdrew into meager attempts at an alliance. Humanity reconnected with itself and became whole once more in violent, if brief, clash. Those who did not seek to repeat the fate of the old world fled in what starships and stations they could muster and bodge into movement, and fled out into the stars, never to be seen or heard from again. The Earth reached out to its former lunar colonies, quickly reclaiming the deadened places as the light of Mankind returned to the stars around Earth, and set hungry eyes towards its former colonies. The Martian terraformation efforts reach the point where one is able to step outside with little more than a mask and an oxygen tank, and colonies began to expand out from the icecaps borders as water-laden asteroids were delivered en masse from the belt. On Mars and beyond, independence is declared as little more than a formality, with no ears from Earth able to hear their words, their populations begin to grow exponentially in true booms. Large probes were sent towards the Barnard's star system with the discovery of unicellular life on Nodens, for more investigation. Carbon Capture devices are built en masse, and efforts began to repair what could be saved, and regain contact with their lost sisters in the stars. Flooding as the ice-caps melted renders the majority of Earths coastlines uninhabitable by traditional means, but, the world begins to recover. The early half of the years saw both the peak and the wind-down of the chaos on Earth. Martian and Belt independence movements begin as communications from Earth fail, and progress stagnates. The colonies, still reliant on Earth for the majority of their most complex supplies, fall into disarray as they are cut off from their lifeline.

Mass rioting turns to rebellion turns to outright nuclear Armageddon as nations and their civilian populaces wage war for what scraps of food and water remain. Humanity plunged head first into chaos, in these years. Additionally, large amounts of solar sails were launched towards Alpha Centauri, Proxima Centauri, Barnard's star, the Adranus system and Viatorem.

On Earth, however, the first signs of humanities greed began to rear its head, massive climate change finally catching up with the world as it dove head first into another mass extinction event. The populations of both began to grow as true habitats were erected on Ceres and the poles of the Martian landscape, and terraformation efforts began on the red world. On the outer worlds, prosperity and fortune spread their arms wide and welcomed the pioneers of the stars into their hold. In the closing years of the decade, the first true crops and complex goods were grown and manufactured on Mars and in the Asteroid Belt, marking both as capable of self-sustaining. The first permanent colonists were dispatched to Martian and Lunar soil, and various private organizations began establishing true space infrastructure. The 30's saw the dawn of humanity as an interplanetary civilization. Plans were established, the first prototypes and parts for lunar orbiting stations were sent to the heavens, and for the first time in decades all humanity looked to the stars and wondered once more. The beginning of Mankinds true space age were a humble one.
