Firefly is set 500 years into the future. Earth as we know it is
no more and is regarded more in legend as The Earth that Was. Earth's resources
were completely depleted. Due to an expansion into the exploration of space the
human race moved to other planets. Planets were made habitable by a process
called terraforming. Giving the planet a solid ground and an atmosphere which
could be breathable by humans. Mankind spread to all corners of the galaxy and
as a way to govern all these humans The Alliance was created. An organisation
which was there to unify all of mankind under one imperial government. However
there was opposition to this, in the form of The Independents. A massive war
broke out, however the Independents weren't successful and The Alliance one. The
Alliance now control all the core planets in the various planetary systems. On
the outskirts of these systems lie the less economically successful planets,
however they are further away from the law, but they lack the basic amenities
the core planets benefit from. Such as medicine, food and general well being.
Malcolm Reynolds fought in the war, against Unification. He
fought for the Independents. In the Battle of Serenity, in Serenity Valley he
thought he was near victory, however they were at a loss. Mal became disillusioned
and decided it was best for him to stay away from the Feds and the law. He
bought himself a Firefly class transport ship in order to ship cargo, take
whatever jobs that he can and keep flying. Along with his first mate, Zoë, who
also fought along side him in the war. He hired a mechanic and a pilot and a
handyman and they were off. Doing what they can to keep flying and staying
beneath the Alliance's radar for as long as they can.
