I don't know exactly - but since one of the CCG factions is allied to the
Anouks I would say that it's very likely.

You know - I missed that until you pointed that out.

There's a theory on the LC listserv that Lost Colony takes place far, far
into the future of the Earth ala Planet of the Apes.  

This might indicate that LC takes place far, far into the past of Earth
instead.
(though I don't think so - the space fleet would instantly recognize the
planetary configuration of the system)

I think this might be a nod to the concept of  "parallel evolution".
