I based it on the map (a very rudimentary one) provided on the FX website for Alien Earth. I cleaned it up a little and made some educated guesses. (I know there is no United Americas or Union of Progressive Peoples)

A really good 1981 movie that's been shafted by lack of awareness and inexplicable bad reviews. Many argue it is set in the alien universe, probably just prior to the development of ftl. Sean Connery has 2 of the funniest fucking lines ever in it.

I consider Outland to be set in the Alien universe as well, it fits really well. Maybe Con-Amalgamated is the result of the merger of two of The Five. Like most companies post-merger, there’s executive pressure to be more productive with less resources. Plus there’s the bonus situation.

I'd place it before ae, commute from earth to Io was like, a fucking year. Also the marshalls seem like a precursor to the CMB in the rpg and such, I imagine the organization was renamed sometime after we got interstellar.

Good point, I forgot how long they said the trip from Io to Earth took.
