History
Apparently, Earth of the Noon Universe is set in an alternative future, where the Soviet Union has somehow managed to realize the ideals of communism proclaimed by Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin in the second half of 20th century and continued spreading them peacefully over the planet. Soon afterwards the entire planet was united, all wars ceased and a (seemingly) utopian future began.
First of all, it was marked by extensive exploration of Earth own secrets such as those of ocean and Earth's depths. However, more fascinating were the studies of the space. At the beginning they were limited to the exploration of the Solar System (see The Land of Crimson Clouds) but with the invention of photon engine the inter-stellar flights became possible (see Ruzhena). Simultaneously, due to various technological advances in other fields, by the end of the 21st century Earth was capable of satisfying all material needs of its citizens including spaceships for amateur exploration of the galaxy.
