The United Planetary Federation Era |
|
1 FY | The United Planetary Federation, a mutual defense organization, is established. All worlds of the Frontier, expecting another Sathar invasion, immediately join. Under UPF authority, Spacefleet becomes a permanent defensive force, the Council of Worlds is established as the interstellar legislature, and Star Law established as the law enforcement and intelligence arm. |
3 FY | The Brotherhood of Spacers becomes the first cadre on the Frontier. |
4 FY | The Capellan Free Merchants first apear on the Frontier bringing news of the Rim beyond the Xagyg Nebula. New trade is establsihed with new races like the Ifshnit, Osakar and the Humma. |
6 FY | The First Dramune War is fought. |
The Second Expansion Era |
|
11 FY | The Lynchpin system is discovered by the Vrusk Incorporation. They turn the system over to the UPF for development as a military outpost to protect that sector of the Frontier. The Lynchpin system is a military secret. |
12 FY | Frontier ships enter Rim space for the first time. Not entirely trusting, the UPF demains that all outer region worlds allow the UPF to eastablish Spacefleet based in each of their systems. Some see this as an overreach of power, particularly in Truane's Star. |
20 FY | The Streel Corporation is founded on Pale. |
24 FY | The Sundown system is discovered by remote probes. |
26 FY | Cassidine Development Corporation is founded on Triad. The creation and growth of mega-corps proceeds at an ever-accelerating pace. |
27 FY | Devco system is discovered by the Cassidine Development Corporation. |
30 FY | Solar Major system discovered by WarTech Incorporated. |
The Blue Plague |
|
33-43 FY | A strange alien plague sweeps the Frontier. Scientists believe it to be of alien origin - perhaps infected vermin from a newly explored planet somehow gained entry to a ship, which in turn makes several stops on the Frontier and the plague spreads rapidly. It is called the Blue Plague because of its earliest symptoms -- large blue welts that appear about the face and extremities. These welts leave horrible black scars even if the victim survives the plague. The UPF ceases all extended exploration until a cure is found. In 27 FY, the Blue Plague is eradicated from inhabited planets in the Frontier. In total, 17 billion victims fell to the plague. |
44 FY | Very tough laws and penalties are laid down by both the UPF and the Council of Worlds concerning the intersystem exploration, transportation and handling of flora and fauna. Star Law is given jurisdiction over planetary imports and exports. |
The Third Expansion Era |
|
48 FY | The Second Dramune War is fought. |
47-52 FY | Laaco's War. Growing corporations wage a Corporate War on Laco. The UPF eventually steps in and empowers an inter-mega-corporate commission to resolve the differences. Other mega-corps study Laco's War as a possible legal precedent for solving disputes. |
58-63 FY | The War of the Pales (aka the "Pale Food Riots" or "Truane's Star Civil War") took place between the planets Pale and New Pale in the Truane's Star system - pregressive multi-culturalist vs. Human supremacists. The war lasted 5 years but the events that lead to the war started decades before. |
64 FY | New Streel system is discovered and eastblshed by the Streel Corporation. |
65 FY | Current Year |
