<p>While the reasons for the Launch project are complex and will be discussed in depth in a later portion of this history, it is important to establish a set of facts before continuing. This is no &ldquo;take care that you first place him in his time&rdquo;, some short introduction to be placed at the top of chapter heading of some long-rambling fictional account. These facts are important because they provide much needed context for the project that led to our little diaspora.</p>
<p>First and foremost among these facts, almost to the point where one might consider all following facts as following logically from it, is that Launch Day takes place two hundred years exactly after Secession Day.</p>
<p>On the surface of it, especially for those who have had some connection with the event itself, this may seem like backwards. After all, so much happened around Launch. So much <em>had</em> to happen around Launch, right? Sending off two multi-ton blocks of computronium and raw materials, solar sails and Dreamer Modules, takes rather a lot of work.</p>
<p>But in all ways, that falls out of the simple fact that Launch Day occurred on the bicentennial Secession Day.</p>
<hr />
<p>The reason that this association between Secession and Launch is as important as it is is multifaceted. Yes, there was a similarity between the acts, of dividing, of leaving; much of the first part of this volume will be spent dissecting those. Yes, there was political maneuvering both phys- and sys-side in order to accomplish them both; you will read about that. Yes, there was discussion about the wisdom of actions such as these; this you will read about as well.</p>
<p>The facet upon which this first chapter focuses on is, however, one of correspondences. Both involved separation of one group from another. Both involved the construction and modification of a political system &mdash; or perhaps non-system &mdash; in order to accommodate the goals involved.</p>
<p>In our immortal lives, however, one cannot deny that both Secession and Launch shared the same engineers. The same names, the same clades, the same individuals worked to bring about Secession as they did Launch. Get used to the names of the Ode clade and the Jonas clade. You will see them a lot.</p>
