Alternate Universe

While there are an infinite number of alternates to the reality that Otherspace takes place in, when people speak of the Alternate Universe, they are referring to the specific alternate universe that switched places with half the Sol System in September of 3004 due to the Moebius Effect.

In this universe, Luna was ruled with an iron hand by the President of Earth, Colin Neidermeyer, and Kretonians still existed as a major force in the galaxy. Another notable element was the lack of Martian re-colonisation efforts, meaning the planet was entirely in the unchallenged hands of Martian Outbackers. Interestingly, the Outbacker culture differed only slightly from that in the 'real' universe, rather than being dramatically different as in the case of the warmongering Alt-Castori.
