Could Edison Trent still be alive in 817 AS?

Ah, youth... If you're 30 - 35 when something happens, why, then just a few years later, you must obviously be dead...

Seriously, though - unless something absolutely terrible happened, there'd be no reason why anyone that was alive at the end of the SP campaign shouldn't (or conceivably couldn't) still be alive now. In a low gravity environment, the stress on the human body is considerably lessened. And other than accidents or combat, it's pretty obvious that there have been some medical advances that should help improve human lifespan.

Now, whether those SHOULD have happned is another point of discussion, but still...

I see no reason why the average lifespan shouldn't be - excluding all NON-violent causes - around 120 or so. Of course, it does seem that many people in Sirius tend to meet violent deaths - or at least that sub-section of the population that goes into space does.

It would be much higher than that, as it stands the expected lifespan of my generation is already spanning into the 100+ range.
