What will life be like on colonies in the solar system.

They would still have robots though wouldn't they? We are on the cusp of having robots that could replace humans in a lot of the areas slavery would have been used in the past.

Perhaps. But compared to machines that have to be maintained and constructed, Human beings physically maintain themselves as long as they have food and water, Both are cheaper then to maintain a machine. Especially since Human life was worth little to the Terrans.

Food and water are expensive, especially in areas where they are not native (i.e. the moon). Once a machine is built, maintenance is minimal, at least when compared to the costs of consumables for human slaves. The only sort of fiscally reasonable slavery would be that portrayed in Moon.

If you cut back on luxury food can be quite cheap. For example, A basic food could be made possibly by growing algae in a tank and then straining into a pulp that could be pressed and dried into a cracker of some sort. Not to mention that the technological capabilities of the Terran's are behind the others, Plus slavery while not necessary in some places can provide a means of forcing a specific population sect under control, Since the Lunar population had been rebellious prior, The Regime forced them to work.

Perhaps, but if you are worried about a population and care so little about human life why not just wipe them out completely and replace them with machines?

Of course. But not for every job, some would be reserved for Lunar Slaves.

I would think that the Trojans would belong to Callisto, and therefore the Saturnians.

Umm... Callisto isn't around Saturn, and it doesn't have massive Trojans... Or are you just joking*?

*seriously, I can't tell

Callisto is a outpost of Saturn.  Meaning that the Jovian system and anything near it belong to the Saturnian Empire.

Well that's weird. Is this the actual celestial body "Callisto" or a base? If it's the actual moon, then the Trojan/Greek asteroids at Neptune's L4/5 points are Neptune's, and it's possible that there's a whole bunch of them.

Its the actual moon  And while yes you are right about Neptune Trojans, Those would belong to the Neptunian Union which is hostile to the Uranians.

Well, the thing is, Uranus might have a good amount as well. But not quite as much, since they're farther from the K belt.

In that case, such resources might be quickly exhausted, forcing them to invade a seemingly defenseless planet for its mineral riches. And with the Saturnian's on one side and the Neptunians on another, there are few options.

Not that quickly. Especially considering the tech advances between now and then.

[Emperor of the Titan Squid]

Sorry, I thought thought that the Trojans referred specifically to the ones near Jupiter.

[daniel l.]

Just to save time i am going to start work on the 2150's conclusion once its completed i will resume making short stories. The Conclusion will be unveiled on the first day of next year.

What about more crafts and conflicts?

How about the war between Neptune and the Trans-Neptunian federation. Also there's the Heracles.

That will definitely be covered.

[Emperor of the Titan Squid]

In addition, there is the war between Mercury and Uranus, the wars between Ceres and mercury and Ceres and the Neptunian Union, and the Recon drone. just suggestions.

There is another flag of Mars, which you might want to consider using: it's a red green and blue tricolor.

I have been having some IRL delays, Mainly that the computer i use to write them has lately been commandeered by my older brother who has now taken to calling it "his" computer.

Mercuro-Uranian War is out!
