The Rigunmor Star Consortium, the Solar Union, StarMech and Austrin-Ontis Unlimited form the Profit Confederation. 2362 The Battle of Morgans Bluff The first joint operation of the Expansion Pentad. Hatire mindknights first go into action with the Expansion Pentad. 2364 Stage One of the Exeat begins with the arrival of Vurhyr Barok Lhor and his gardhyi agents. Initial incursions by  HYPERLINK "file:///C:\\My%20Documents\\ALTERNITY\\Externals\\toc_8_11.htm"  HYPERLINK "file:///C:\\My%20Documents\\ALTERNITY\\Externals\\toc_8_11.htm" I'krl-aligned gardhyi, teln, and n'sss agents occur all across the Verge and in Old Space, as they begin their research and analysis of human space. None draw any attention until the 2430s at Zin Point and 2480s at Armstrong, nor do any of these agents and events seem linked to anything greater. 2370 Establishment of hidden bases on planets and moons within the Hathorn system. From these bases, Externals explore human settlements elsewhere in the Verge. 2372 After the Expansion Pentad's incursions, the Borealis Republic joins the FreeSpace Alliance out of desperation, no longer able to maintain neutrality in the face of such aggression. 2373 Austrin-Ontis and Solar counter-offensives against the Nariacs beginto take their toll, marking a 100-year span of defeat piled upon defeat for the Domain. 2375 The Battle of Kendai. The drivespace communication link between Old Space and the Verge is destroyed. Beginning of the Long Slience. 2380 Destruction of the Dreth Commonwealth fleet and subsequent conquest of Dreth space. The Rigunmor Consortium shatters the Dreth fleet. VoidCorp pours into the Commonwealth, double-crossing their former allies, and picking up that front of the war. The successful expansions of the Thuldan Empire and VoidCorp during the 2360's and 2370's prompt a " Gentlemen's Agreement " between the FreeSpace Alliance and the Profit Confederation. 2381 A destroyer-class ship arrives from the Lightning Nebula at Hathorn carrying the Parak Martis and his scientists and an escort of klick ships and crew. The kadarans begin their work transforming Hathorn's moons and planetoids into communications arrays, massive computers, and added habitats for the Exeat forces. 2386 VoidCorp invasion of Adalcus - fall of the Dreth Commonwealth. 2388 Joshua Kanar, along with representatives from the Commonwealth in Old Space, return to the Dewi star system. 2394 Representatives from Insight, a division of VoidCorp, secretly meet with the leaders of the FreeSpace Alliance and share Expansion Pentad plans and secrets. 2396 The first melding of robotic technology with artificial intelligence occurs in Berlin with the assistance of researchers at MIT robotics labs. 2398 The Orlamus begin construction of the Lighthouse of Faith. 2401 The turning point of the war is fought at the Battle of Songham. The Thuldan Empire and the Expansion Pentad are pushed back after almost 70 years of success. The gentlemans agreement between the FreeSpace Alliance and the Profit Confederation ends. 2404 Construction of the Lighthouse is completed. 2415 Orion Colonial government of Bluefall builds the Baffin Island Station in Rinstoke system. 2430 Records indicate this year was the height of military might in GW2 and that interstellar military forces of 2502 represent three-quarters of that strength. Since this time, industrial capacity to produce military assets has fallen by more than half. (During this time period, the Austrin war machine produces a new stable of advanced weaponry to turn against the Nariacs and makes plans for a new offensive.) 2433 Insight hands Orion grid-pilots a crucial victory on the VoidCorp Grid. 2436 Attacks on the Outposts near Zin Point reveal the existence of the creatures soon called the N'sss, after the "demons" of T'sa mythology which they appear to resemble 2439 The first BattleMech designed by Dr. Gregory Atlas of the Thuldan Empire is used in combat on February 5. 2448 Insight ships depart from Voidcorp space and arrive at Karnath some months later. External fleet movements and fleet building begin within the Lightning Nebula and the Perseus Arm as the preliminary plans of attack begin to form within the  HYPERLINK "file:///C:\\My%20Documents\\ALTERNITY\\Externals\\toc_8_11.htm"  HYPERLINK "file:///C:\\My%20Documents\\ALTERNITY\\Externals\\toc_8_11.htm" I'krl Exeat command. 2451 The teln are brought to Algemron. 2452 Records of human activity on Bluefall in the Aegis system cease on July 22. Trading vessels later confirm the entire system is devoid of human life. Osar of all races are struck by religious fervor as the  HYPERLINK "file:///C:\\My%20Documents\\ALTERNITY\\Externals\\toc_8_11.htm"  HYPERLINK "file:///C:\\My%20Documents\\ALTERNITY\\Externals\\toc_8_11.htm" I'krl gods speak to them, performing miracles throughout Theocracy Space around their holy sites. The upper echelons of the church become far more powerful due to  HYPERLINK "file:///C:\\My%20Documents\\ALTERNITY\\Externals\\toc_8_11.htm"  HYPERLINK "file:///C:\\My%20Documents\\ALTERNITY\\Externals\\toc_8_11.htm" I'krl partial possession. 2454 Inseers meet with President Hale of the Orion League to discuss their defection from VoidCorp. Hale advises patience. Tired of this message, the Inseers make final preparations for claiming the former-Dreth Commonwealth. 2457 Thaal arrive in the Verge for the first time. They soon scuttle an antiquated generation ship, removing its propulsion systems and launch the battered hulk into space using their newly granted powers.Humans find the hulk in the Oberon system 45 years later. 2459 After numerous close calls with human scout ships investigating the outer systems, the Exeat receives from the sifarv three dreadnoughts and full crews to help maintain the secrets of Hathorn. Although they have supported in principle the goals of the Exeat, the sifarv military does not commit resources to it until now. 2460 Insight Inc. declared its independence. The VoidCorp Grid crashes on May 10. 2461 A Solar raid into Orlamu space results in the near-complete destruction of the Lighthouse of Faith, the largest vessel equipped with a stardrive (50 light year range). 2462 VoidCorp executives secretly open talks with gardhyi within their nation, and bring the  HYPERLINK "file:///C:\\My%20Documents\\ALTERNITY\\Externals\\toc_8_11.htm"  HYPERLINK "file:///C:\\My%20Documents\\ALTERNITY\\Externals\\toc_8_11.htm" I'krl to the notice of VC upper executives, including its AI CEO. With the promise of more control and a wider base of power (not to mention a sharing of technology that could assure the corporate nation's dominance in a number of fields), VoidCorp and the  HYPERLINK "file:///C:\\My%20Documents\\ALTERNITY\\Externals\\toc_8_11.htm"  HYPERLINK "file:///C:\\My%20Documents\\ALTERNITY\\Externals\\toc_8_11.htm" I'krl form a close, highly secret alliance. 2465 Leaders of the 3 Great Alliances meet to negotiate a peace at the Alkaid Conference. 2470 VoidCorp secretly builds a small colony and communications grid in the Hathorn system. 2472 After years of effort, an agreement is signed to end the Second Galactic War. The Treaty of Concord establishes the Galactic Concord, a political body made up of representatives from each stellar nation and designed to maintain the peace, settle disputes, and bring unity to the galaxy. The stellar nations go about the business of reconstruction. 2481 Open conflicts along the Rigunmor / Borealin border are quelled by the Concord military. 2482 The Solar Credit is exchanged with the Concord Dollar on a one-on-one basis in this time of monetary union. 2484 The Regency Navy engages in hunt for the Algemronian cruiser Sunhawk. 2485 Colonies at the Armstrong Cluster decimated by green armored humanoid forces. Five years later, the attackers are positively identified as the Kroath 2486 Blix abandon a destroyed ship and are marooned initially on Bluefall. They are later revealed as benevolent "fixers". 2489 The Borealis colony on Spes, a planet orbiting Hammers Star in the Verge, is attacked by unknown forces on May 3rd. 2496 The Kendai drivespace relay is rebuilt. Contact between Old Space and the Verge is re-established, transmitting the 7 year old distress call from Hammers Star. Major Garth Norrick of the Federal State of Algemron's Intelligence Directorate is unknowingly infected by a Teln. Others in his government have long been under the subtle influences of the Teln. 2497 The Concord fortress ship Monitor arrives in the Verge and begins a tour of the major systems en route to Hammers Star. The Monitor finds the Silver Bell colony a battered ruin. October 28, Dr. Blackmore and two fraal assistants arrive at the VoidCorp vessel Unity Gain to investigate reports of psionic abnormalities. Contact with the Unity Gain is lost on Oct. 31st. 2498 Thuldans attack Regency Island on Bluefall. The Galactic Concord commissions the Lighthouse to serve as a base of operations in the Verge. Peaceful encounters with a massive crystalline ship in the Lucullus system reveal the evrem, a psionic race seemingly interested only in peaceful diplomacy and trade. VoidCorp executive Wayne Bailey (Hm/VoidCorp/DFA-7) secretly concludes an agreement with the n'sss via gardhyi agents whereby VoidCorp undertakes to hide a small n'sss base within the gas giant Redcrown in the Aegis system. The intelligence information both VoidCorp and the  HYPERLINK "file:///C:\\My%20Documents\\ALTERNITY\\Externals\\toc_8_11.htm"  HYPERLINK "file:///C:\\My%20Documents\\ALTERNITY\\Externals\\toc_8_11.htm" I'krl receive from this base proves invaluable in their future operations in the Verge. 2499 The Concord Lighthouse makes starrise in the Verge on March 23. With the mustering of the Exeat fleet of five capital/ HYPERLINK "file:///C:\\My%20Documents\\ALTERNITY\\Externals\\toc_4_1.htm" \l "10" fortress ships and their support craft to the Verge and Hathorn, Stage Two of the war truly begins for the Exeat. From this point on, all of the defined  HYPERLINK "file:///C:\\My%20Documents\\ALTERNITY\\Externals\\toc_8_11.htm"  HYPERLINK "file:///C:\\My%20Documents\\ALTERNITY\\Externals\\toc_8_11.htm" I'krl-allied races can be encountered in the Verge, although they remain extremely rare, limited as they are to a few secret staging bases. 2500 Nova Station at the Alaundril shipyards is the site of a massacre at the hands of a creature later identified as a Magus. The submarine RBV Glory makes first-contact with the Deepfallen. Depth Epsilon nearly destroyed in a violent earthquake. The Center for Xenological Studies on Bluefall gains theories and information about the magus from the evrem Raphael. 2501 The world computer/communications array in the Hathorn system becomes operational. On June 26th, the ship Twelve Clutch disappears from normal space but reemerges briefly several hours later and transmits one word: " Ikrl. " 2502 Kroath forces invade the Vieron system on May 3 at 16: 04 Galactic Standard Time. A mysterious grid reporter who calls himself Avatar reveals the existence of the Teln parasites on Algemron via the Galactic News Agency, although many dismiss this report as an urban legend and conspiracy theory. In June, a ship believed a derelict discovered and fought over by numerous factions. Ship reactivates and gates in new race of dragons, later revealed as the medurr. August 13, VoidCorp Survey Cruiser 547 makes contact with an escape pod from the Unity Gain. In september informal negotiations with Concord occur near Lucullus.
