The Early First Federation Era900 - 1200 a.t. |
The early federation was a somewhat united world dominated by the idea of benevolent protective AIs and reclaiming human greatness. On the whole, politically this is a mostly peaceful period - mostly interplanetary with some interstellar exploration. There are however many clades and races and biosphere-states that refuse to be a part of the Federation. Also, the assimilation of the countless millions of human refugees that resulted from the Great Expulsion causes serious problems for the Federation.
900 - Almost a hundred ships are part of the Spaceman's League
c.900 - The Bismillah was rebuilt and set off again for the white dwarf star E/G 471, 40 light years further on.
903 - The Alpes Water Alliance between the Tycho Republic, Artemis, Cognitum and Zeno marks the beginning of a new cooperation between the moon states. The Alpes pact slowly grows, but has more success in contacting Belt groups than inner system groups.

eleventh century A.T - Sosimevs Sosimevs, run directly by AIs for the benefit of the first virch entities.

1025 - First Institute for Primate Preservation member achieves S1 (Jane, the cache's AI guardian); shortly afterwards she is selected Primus
1028 - An exploration probe sent by the Hyperion corporation scouts the Pi 3 Orionis system before heading back to SolSys
1045 - Eostre sends out a subservient AI, combined with several uploaded intellects, to scout out a possible new world. However, at a fuelling operation in orbit of a nearby red dwarf, the ship suffers a cataclysmic failure, and the AI and its intellects are marooned. (61 Virginis)

12th century - Neotens were originally engineered

1110 -House Neill and House Devaneaux - two of the old Reydovan Republic's most influential families - attempt an overthrow of the newly established Reydovan Chancellery. They and House t'Resan - the technical minds that assisted the two houses - are exiled into the Fringes.
