Population at the Breakaway
Summary
In the pilot episode, a news report from
Earth, picked up by
Moonbase Alpha
on the fast-departing Moon,
lists 311 people on MBA.

Analysis
- This is perhaps the official
population count from
after several astronauts died and shortly before
the Breakaway event.
If the ILC were being kept well-apprised of the
situation on Alpha before Breakaway,
and gave a press release shortly after Breakaway
that was their own best information,
and the GTV(?) news report was using that information,
then the number would be accurate.
- There is no way to know if all of this was accurate,
but is taken by some fans as the best available count.
Notes
- All further citation of this 311 on this KB is on the basis
described in this entry
(i.e. that the number accurately represents
Moonbase Alpha's population from immediately before
the Breakaway event).
Note that some scenarios intentionally chose a different number;
but those will be clearly noted.
