The Expanse Quotes: “The Expanse” is a popular science fiction television series that first premiered on SyFy in 2015. It’s based on a series of novels written by James S. A. Corey, a pen name for the team of Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. The series is set in a future where humanity has colonized the solar system and is divided into three major factions: Earth, Mars, and the Belt (asteroid belt). These three factions are often in conflict over resources, politics, and power.
The plot follows a disparate group of characters from across these factions, including a UN executive, a spaceship captain, a detective, and a group of ragtag crew members on a salvaged Martian warship. Their lives become intertwined as they uncover a vast conspiracy that threatens the balance of power and the survival of humanity in the solar system.
