Who are the Sixers? A little information about them is given in episodes. The mysterious Sixers are a group of people from the sixth pilgrimage who broke away from Terra Nova. They bring an aspect of 2149 human conflict to the past, and they still have contact with 2149. They control a mine, and they are at odds with Commander Taylor. Some questions about the Sixers:
I wonder about the attempted assassination of Taylor. Taylor's death would not derail Terra Nova, although a new leader could change the settlement's focus. Perhaps the new leader would be part of the Sixer movement. Otherwise, trying to kill Taylor seems personal, perhaps related to his son. If so, how did his son convince someone to murder Taylor at Terra Nova, something that would likely lead to capture.
- How many are in the main group?
- Are there Sixer sympathizers in every pilgrimage?
- Do the Sixers have a main settlement, along the lines of Terra Nova, or are they primarily nomadic?
- Are the Sixers trying to establish a new society in the past, or just prevent the success of Terra Nova?
- How does the timing of their split from Terra Nova affect the Sixers plan?
