The Cole family lived in Mark Twain, Missouri, URNA, on Earth.[1]
Biography
The Cole family operated a farm in Missouri for eight generations.[2] Contrary to most small Earth farms, they managed to survive the competition with colonial agro-corporations. Still, they struggled to make the ends meet.[3] They were thus very disciplined, and quite "anachronistic" when compared to their entitled contemporaries. The farm still exists as of December 2552, a testament to its viability.[2] Some ancestors of the family served in the Rainforest Wars.[3]
