The Colony World¶

Status: CANON (setting), name OPEN

The core fact¶

This story does not take place on Earth. Greg grows up on a far-future human colony world — broadly Earth-like and habitable, settled long enough that children consider it home.

Texture: rural surface, far-future bones CANON¶

The region where Greg grows up has a rural, agricultural atmosphere:

farmland, streams, small roads
local businesses and a tight-knit community
children traveling by bicycle
agricultural infrastructure

But the setting is unmistakably far future:

orbital traffic
advanced industrial automation
synthetic workers
interplanetary logistics
colonial infrastructure
high technology integrated into ordinary life

Visual / emotional reference: a Smallville-like rural childhood, on another world, hundreds of years in the future.

The contrast is the point — the ordinary and the advanced share the same street. A boy on a peeling red bicycle passes under orbital traffic and thinks nothing of it.
