DPP: A history of the colonies

lizziecYesterday we looked at Pilots personalities.
Today we have another history themed DPP. Yes, I know it's another kind of history themed DPP and I'm in danger of being repetative, but humour me. Marking is extremely boring but because of it I have history on the brain. I prompted this over at the ficathon on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
leeadama_daily but no one took it up and I really love this concept so I thought I'd throw it out there for us lovers of pilots :) (I hope I'm not making a huge faux pas by doing that - sorry if I am :().
So, an academic in the future of the colonies is writing a history of the holocaust, the exodus and the Rag Tag FleetTM. What would the academic write about our pilots? How would they (and history) judge them and their actions? Would they have a prominent place in the history or actually, in the great scheme of things, were their actions sometimes merely footnotes? What kind of history would you prefer to read? A social one, one focusing on the military aspects or something else? Finally, would you have them writing it on New Earth on a collection of leaves, in a future where the fleet is still going, or on an alternate version of New Earth where they kept their tech?
Discuss, link, drabble - whatever you feel like really :)

Today's screenshot is the only one I entirely planned in advance, because I have a feeling that the Olympic Carrier incident would be a hotly debated issue if there happens to be more than one historian among the surving colonists (and frankly, given the number of politicians and journalists, I don't see why there wouldn't be an entire department full of historians).
