1. This is during the Silver Millennium,
but there is no Silver Alliance.
2. Endymion is the Prince of the Earth, but currently, his distant relation,
whom he will refer to as an uncle, is ruling.
3. Earth, with the aid of Metallia, has taken over the other planets of the
Solar System, except Pluto, which has not fallen yet.
4. At the beginning of the story, the girls have just teleported to the Earth
from the Moon, which is a pile of dust and rubble.
5. To protect themselves, the gals are using different names than Selena, Mina,
Rei, Lita, and Ami. They've chosen Earthen names with specific meanings (check
character index). They are also the princesses of their planets, _not_ senshi.
Senshi do not exist. Yet. Darn. I just gave away an important part of the story.
*sniffles* But anyway, they're still Selena's protectors. Why did I name
Serenity Selena? *shrug* I just felt like a change.
6. Because the generals are the Four Princes (a.k.a. the Shitenou), they also
have doubled names. Also, they are not very well known yet among Earthen people,
so they can travel in anonymity. The gens have not been presented yet in Elysion,
which is currently a center of Metallia, because Earth has been busy taking over
the rest of the Solar System.
