History of the Hundred Suns

Humanity–several millions of them–find themselves in one of two unknown star systems, separated from each other. Both groups are stopped from leaving their system by a strange force barrier. After losing several ships, the people in 'System A' (later called New Sol) abandon attempts to leave and begin to settle on the main life-bearing planet, calling it Prime. Adopting a systematic search, the people in 'System B' start to look for a way back to their old systems. They name the system Future’s Hope.

After losing many ships, explorers from Future’s Hope find the first slip point and emerge in another system, New Sol. Both sides are surprised to find they are not the only survivors. Ships continue to look for more ways out of Future’s Hope and many explorers pass through the slip into New Sol to seek other routes there. Settlers also move from New Sol onto the third and fourth planets of Future’s Hope, naming them Ki2 and Foundation Home.

A slip point out of New Sol is discovered by Expansionist pioneers. Political and physical conflict follows over which of the two factions - New Solarians or Expansionists - has jurisdiction over the slip points. Two more slip points are discovered, one each in New Sol and Future’s Hope. The system next to New Sol is named Novageon; the other takes its name from the main arcology that settles there - Khau's Haven.
