- Terra Nova was dubbed the "Great Experiment", a deep space human colony. It took the S.S. Conestoga 9 years to get there. The ship was dismatled and used to build the colony's structures. Terra Nova was founded after other off-world colonies: New Berlin on Luna (the moon), Utopia Planitia on Mars, and a handful of colonies on asteroids.
- It was assumed that disagreements over sending additional colonists caused Terra Nova to cut off contact with Earth 70 years ago. In actuality, an asteroid collision on the northern hemisphere caused a radioactive cloud. The Novans thought it was an attack by the humans. Only the young children survived.
- Enterprise relocates the Novans to the southern hemisphere.
