The typical scenario in this trope only does away with Earth, allowing the extra-solar colonies to continue, so let's go with that. Looking at the population of the Sol system, it isn't much, but potential refugees would bolster the numbers somewhat. Looking at my notes, the Lunar Colonies are...

What do you think about utilizing the 2300 AD setting, but with the twist that Earth is destroyed in some cataclysm? The specifics of the event would of course be important, but I'm thinking of evaluating this more generally here (so it could be anything from an ecological disaster to a Kafer or...
