| − | The '''Grand Surveys''' were early missions conducted by the [[Terran Alliance]] to establish an idea of how quickly humanity was colonizing the stars. Undertaken in the 22nd and 23rd Centuries, these surveys discovered a remarkable rate of settlement. The first survey mission, conducted in [[2172]], found more than 100 colonies had been founded within 40 light years of [[Terra]]. This is quite remarkable, considering ''[[TAS Pathfinder]]'' had only conducted the first manned faster-than-light test only 64 years earlier (in [[2108]]), and [[New Earth]] had only been settled in [[2116]]. The fourth Grand Survey, conducted only in [[2235]] (just 63 years after the first survey) had found over 600 colonies. This rate of colonization led the Terran Alliance to look inward, questioning whether to spend its resources on colonizing (and governing) the stars or stamp out poverty and hunger on the homeworld.<ref>''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'', pp. 7-8</ref>
