Colonial Federation

The Colonial Federation is a galactic governmental body composed of human-settled planets. The Colonial Federation does not currently exist, and will be formed in earth's distant future. Aspects of this society have found their way into the present time, including a starship and her crew, granting insights into the future of humanity and the universe.

Evidence
With the exception of the Joseph Kall, raw information about the Colonial Federation has been hard to come by. Objects, artifacts, and information seem to appear in the local time-space relatively frequently, however these pieces of evidence rarely yield any tangible data about the the future.

Artifacts recovered include:
 * shreds of nearly indestructible metallic alloys
 * numerous Data-storage devices which greatly surpass current technology
 * human remains which exhibit a number of genetic sequences and modified genes not found in modern Homo Sapiens
 * nonfunctional weaponry designed to fire pulsed laser beams or graphite flachettes.

The Joseph Kall
With the arrival of the Joseph Kall in this period of the timeline, a scant few questions about the future of humanity were answered. The Crew of the vessel is generally tight-lipped and prefer to change subjects rather than talk about the future. Officers aboard the ship appear to have been trained to respond to situations involving temporal translocation, and while they often yield the most information, it is frequently vague.

Confirmed Events
The following events have a high degree of likelihood in the future:
 * A global war on planet Earth ending in nuclear bombardment on a planet-wide scale
 * A consequent nuclear winter making much of Earth's surface inhospitable
 * The arrival of a cloaked figure wearing a wooden mask who creates several new cities in the Pacific Northwest, the Changbai forest in China, the Congo Basin in Africa, and the Amazon Rainforest in South America
 * The mass immigration of humanity to said cities
 * The eventual recovery of Earth's biosphere (possibly with the aid of the cloaked figure)
 * The establishment of new nations at the sites of the new cities, and contact with the other cities
 * A summit between the cities creating a unified earth under a single flag
 * Massive investment in colonization and off-world mining, resulting in habitable sites on the moon and mars.
 * The development of faster-than-light travel
 * The Colonization of numerous non-terrestrial worlds in the local region of the galaxy
 * A civil war between several colonies followed by the establishment of a federation allying all extant colonies
 * Contact with numerous extra terrestrial species
 * At some point - the design and production of ships like the Joseph Kall, and possibly the technology to travel through time
