I previously wrote that it was unclear when our organization switched names from The Foundation to Minerva. That may have been a little premature. It has been known for some time that before the War, they went by the former name, and that in most of the early records after the Long Winter use the latter. The archiving of several dozen notebooks, memos and journals belonging to various researchers of little influence, while not adding much to the body of scientific knowledge, have revealed some important facts about the development of the organization we now know as Minerva.

For the rest of the 21^st century Minerva faced increasing opposition from bandit groups, local warlords and even some city-states that managed to survive the War. While the newly formed paramilitary branch Aegis employed their Peacekeepers to defend Minerva’s territory, there was a recognized need to pursue peaceful resolution to their problems.

The history of Aegis is actually quite interesting. In the early days after the War, when the Long Winter first began to abate, Minerva faced few military or political threats. The few survivors they encountered were so weak from malnutrition and radiation poisoning that they couldn’t have posed a serious danger even if they had tried. No, it wasn’t until later, when Minerva expanded its territory that they first began to encounter armed competitors.
