the Commonwealth of Empires6650 - 7300
a resurgence of civilisation, a period of even greater peace and harmony than the Second Federation. But shockwaves from newly assertive and subvertive memetics undermine the relatively fragile stability of the ComEmp ontology, leading to a period of re-evaluation 
66006650 - the Inner Sphere powers, exhausted by the drawn out conflict and resulting stalemate of the Version War, their economies near collapse with the loss of trade due to the destruction of the wormhole nexus, and facing increasing organic- and AI-organised protests at home as well as heavy losses abroad, sued for peace. The Bardwell Treaty of 6653 and the famous Tilia-Zwicky Accords the following year, including hostage exchanges (which later came to evolve into the ComEmp node systems) and the spread of autowar ceasefire codes were the first of a long series of bootstrap ceasefires designed to end the war.
6700With the fall of the Second Federation and a new protocol was required. The accord that was reached, called the New Ontology, or CoEmp Ontology, with its infinite creativity nodes at main communication junction gates, was far freerer and more multiplex than the old Second Federation protocol. The self-maintaining Synergesis I.P. encouraged symbiotic cooperation with and convesely discouraged agressive acts by shutting down the connecting nodes to the aggressor, effectively cutting them off from the main matrix. Some of the more militant factions were not happy about this so called "peace bomb", but the Negentropy Alliance backed it and even the Solar Dominion was agreable for once In a spirit of peace and reconcilliation, and with all the best intentions, the Commonwealth of Empires was born. Sometimes called simply the New Empire, it was an empire in protocol ontology only, and was better likened to a commonwealth of indepenedent states and houses. In some areas and among a number of clades the misleading name Third Federation. Ironically, some of the major players were also among the groups that had instigated the war in the first place: the Dominion, the Non Coersive Zone, Metasoft, Cygexpa,and the resurrected former Sagittarius Sphere, now known as the Sagittarius Transcultural Cooperation and resembling the original Sphere in name only. Under the demagogue-scholar Carmon Jefrir Lapkei, the Biovirate ideology consolidates its hold over Pereira The first Lesser Archive to be discovered was found orbiting the brown dwarf Niflheim in the GIA 348-5443344 system by a refugee ship fleeing the 6635 destruction of the Sagittarius Sphere system Canakka by the Negentropy Alliance 6732 - Ghedhia-9 migrates with eir entire ISO to Harbinger Dyson following reopening of the stargates after the Version War. 6744 - Andian Mission is instituted 6753 - Reseb Grupp, painted by the Solarist ai Nomologic ga Helios-4 in 5300, rediscovered after languishing in the databanks of the Dominion for over 2000 years it was, immediately becomes a great hit and widely imitated. 6798 - in a surprise raid on Padre Joachim 4 million sentients were killed by the Goto autowars (robot warships) apparently derived from the version war Liberator D series.
68006800 - In a tremendous burst of reconstruction that also revived the war-raged economies of the major powers, much of the old Stargate Nexus has been reconstructed. However, many oter systems remain isolated and cut off from the new economic boom of the Inner Sphere. 6805 - Sophic League Middle Regions terraformed by Edenese superiors 6800s - Extremist hu-rights group Branch Hominist quite active, playing on biont fears and resentment following teh Version War 6830 - Corona serves as the neutral host for the ComEmp. 6840's - Bothyga M'Vau . The planet was seeded by the Makrimche Polyst clade of AIs in the as an experiment in open-ended eco-art. 6844 - birth of empath philosopher and religious engineer Recor Hochent - Heartland Mumris Band. 6800s - Goto autowars harass the Negentropy Alliance, causing heavy casualties and massive production loss in several important industrial systems and annihilating a number of worlds hosting large military bases. Negentropist defences prove incapable of defeating the highly evolved autowars. 6870 - headquarters of ComEmp moves from Corona. 6889 - contact is restored with Mutual Satisfaction. The polity refuses to rejoin the NoCoZo for unclear reasons and becomes an independent enclave, although for all practical purposes still NoCoZo. 6890 - Construction begins on the Second Shell of Harbinger Dyson
6900The Commonwealth or New Empire is at its height. A tremendous rennaisance of human, tweak, cyborg and alien cultures flourishes in the Inner Sphere and along the major trade routes. Historically this period has been given the misleading term "Third Federation" by some later clades Meanwhile the old version war still continues in the outer, isolated regions, as the field commanders of relativistic fleets acted autonomously, thus making any peace accord difficult if not impossible to broker. 6950s - economic and cultural renaissance in Mutual Satisfaction. The flocal Institute of Interstellar Economics grows to a prominent position.
7000Establishment of the Oshi-Durtam Web In the Cygnis sector of the outer volumes, the Biovirate continues its expansion and conquest of surrounding systems early 7000's - Mykultura emerges in the Communion religious communities in the Regernar system
7100The Oshi-Durtam Web develops into a fairly unified culture, led by a merito-democratic government and with a strong local renaissance In the region of the Coathanger Cluster, still raveged by piracy and barabrism from the tail end of the Version War, the adaptable and militant Daveth Tweaks rose to prominence and expanded rapidly in their feared habitat-raper ships 7101 - the Negentropy Alliance attacks Goto, apparently destroying the last autowar factories. 7101 - ascension of empath philosopher and religious engineer Recor Hochent 7116 - Branch Hominist attempted invasion of Earth is a fiasco, and little more has been heard of them
