However, there are some problems with that approach.  Assuming that 

the

  I'll probably get in trouble for this later, but I've a physics lesson to 
propose that could explain this.

Black Moon clan are descended from exiled rebels against Serenity, it
works better if they are exiled before the ice.  That gives them a
thousand years to grow in power and craziness before they have to take
Earth on.  Otherwise they have no more than a couple of generations.

  In popular scientific theory if one travels away from Earth in a rocket, 
then less time will pass for the person on the rocket than for a person on 
Earth (relativity, a sticky subject). This is due to relative gravities for 
someone on the rocket and someone on Earth.
  Okay, so perhaps the Nemesians weren't sent in exile on a rocket (point is 
moot anyway), but here's this: what if, relative to the Earth, the black 
moon had even LESS gravitic force acting upon it than Earth? (Nemesis 
possibly has the same gravitic pull as Earth, but Earth also has a big 
yellow ball near it called the Sun, and if I'm not mistaken, if Nemesis is 
in an erratic orbit it probably doesn't have much other outside gravitic 
forces acting upon it). Theoretically speaking, the people of Earth will 
experience a slower timeline than the people living on Nemesis (because 
Earth has a relative hyper-gravity compared to Nemesis).
  If this theory holds, then depending on gravitic forces the Nemesians can 
age several generations in a short amount of time (Earth time, that is).

  Of course, all this can be shot down if Nemesis were in proximity of a 
more powerful sun (which I think is likely because Wiseman, I believe, 
described a 'dark sun,' which could mean anything in terms of star 
classification), in which case the Nemesians would pass time slower.
