Originally known as the Pitcairn Islands. Most known in ancient history as the place the HMS Bounty landed at in 1790. Christianity of sorts thrived there until the early 1900?s. Its population was as low as 16 in the mid-1800?s but rose to over 200 by 1945. By the year 2051 the Islands were populated almost solely by a group of people of British and Polynesian descent. In 2051 a young Bible translator and his wife arrived on the Island in hopes of finding refuge from United Federation interference with religious activities. They operated in completed freedom, translating the book of John and Genesis by the year 2083. In 2087 the Island was completely cut off from the outside world. Three events occurred within a few months of each other. First, the Chino/Indian war erupted throwing that whole part of the world into utter chaos. Secondly, the translator died of a heart attack leaving his wife, four sons and 210 followers of Christ behind. Thirdly, the Island’s meager contact with the outside world was mysteriously cut off over night. From that point to the present no contact with the outside world has been made. No planes or ships ever came again. Added to that, the few modern devices on the Island ceased to function. Beginning somewhere at that time Haven became the accepted name of the Island and memories of the past slowly faded for all but a few. The island council, headed by a grandson of the translator, continued the work of translation of the Bible. The island settled into a semi-utopian state until 2185. That is the year when Jim and Elizabeth finished their translation of the book of Matthew. That along with the discovery by Wesley and Graham of a formerly hidden GRAV-LEV tube set in motion the series of events that brought about the Third Great Awakening in the American Province of the United Federation, formerly known as the United States of America.
