To substitute for women, Terra II's inhabitants created marionettes, robots which physically resemble females and fill their role in society, mostly as companions for men. However their equipment was not able to produce female clones from male genetic material, which resulted in an all-male population (note that this is actually opposite of what is actually true - it would be much harder to come up with Y chromosome from females but closely possible to make females by just duplicating the X chromosome which men already have). Six nations are created, each ruled by six direct clones of the original colonists, while the nations themselves are populated by genetically modified clones. With no means to return or contact Earth, they decided to colonize the planet using clones of themselves. Six men escaped using an emergency pod and managed to land on the surface of the planet. 300 years before the beginning of the story, the human colony ship Mesopotamia suffered a major disaster which killed almost everyone on board. The series is set in Terra II, a planet far from Earth.
