China does not retreat from being a global sailing power and instead commences a large scale and sustained program of exploration and colonization to vent the internal pressures back home....War with the Portugese in the Indian Ocean, and the discovery of North America follow...

The Moon is discovered to be hollow...and inhabitable within...a new lunar land rush begins between the superpowers....

Earth orbits a gas giant instead of having its own solitary orbit around the sun....Development of the understanding of celestial mechanics profoundly affected...

Aliens steal Australia...Britain is next....

Post WW2, the United States makes an assimilated Japan a protectorate, then a state....

A rifted Russian cyberdoc cures Czar Nicholas II's son's hemophilia through biosystem implants...The Czar takes the popular measure of having Gregor Rasputin publicly flogged and executed....

Humans have already fought World War III, and have degenerated to a more clan based tribal system. A random few pieces of ultra-tech are to be found here and there.

The Old Gods never went away, instead they evolved into entirely new deities. Anyone for Dural'n, God of Television? How about Me'sann'ga, Godess of Dating Services?

Every member of any race shares a certain degree of hive mind! All humans, canines, felines, arachnids all of 'em connected to every other member of their race.

Here are a few What if for Phase World/3 Galaxies.

1)Independent and Unexplored systemes make up 45% of all 3 Galaxies.

2)Humans make up only 8% of the population of 3G.

3)No near equals in TGE,all Non-Kreeghor are slaves.

4)CCW is limited it,s membership to 100 races no more.

Sorry, made the assumption that he did so (fell of the edge) before he found america. And going with common sci-fi mythos made the further assumption that a severe change like that would drastically alter our time line.

37 years ago life changed for the people of Earth. For a period of 3 days the sun burned a pale blue; bathing earth in its eerie light. The results are just becoming apparent as a small number of people (about 1 in a million) have begun to exhibit heightened strength, enhanced damage capacity amongst a number of other *super powers*.

*Called Meta-traits in the game because its almost as if these people have been elevated to a level just above the normal human peak of development.*
