1600

17th century - The megacorps continue to establish themselves as regional powers in the wake of the dissolution of the Federation.

17th century - The World of Meditating Idols was also found; debates centered on whether it was evidence of a pre-technological stone-carving society (as the scientists saw it) or, as many cultists believed, a center of cosmic energy and vibration. In any case, although no living aliens have yet been met, the discovery of ruins and artifacts such as this excites tremendous interest

1620 - In alliance with the Amats, the Mainstream Pacifican administration industrialises once again, established PSA or Pacific Space Agency, as a joint venture with SecureSpace, with 51% local ownership. (Pacifica - Beta Virginis)

1656-1657 - Adaptive Nanosystems uses their inhouse cyborg fleet in a military strike against NoCoZo competitor megacorps to gain monopolist control over organizator nanite production, in fragrant breach of the Non-Coercion Zone Treaty of 1598. The response by other NoCoZo signatories was massive, and the corporation was utterly destroyed.

1654-1704 - most of the Islamic-based Unity religious culture emigrated from the solar system (the "Second Hijra") to the systems Medina, Yathrib and Zamzam which became the core of the Stellar Umma empire.

After developing a small following she and her two assistants departed on a relativist vessel for Ukinsracke. However, on arrival none of the three were found to be listed in the passenger list.

1698 - the vec colony of Cog, now a partial dyson sphere around AC+25 7918, discovered by humans. The colony was now of such size and power that there was little anybody could do, and it was accepted as a nominal Federation trading partner.

1744 - the existence of an extinct terraforming race, the Halogenics, is postulated by Irene Habelsein-Io of the Tycho City Institute of Xenopaleology to explain the finds of two halogen-based biospheres with similar genetic codes and base biochemistry on Tytalus (DM-28 694 I) and Outland (Enterprise 43-V).

1740 - Eostre develops into the Second Toposophic Level. [61 Virginis]

1748 - The NoCoZo vessel Illium arrives in the 61 Virginis system. It is almost immediately met by vessels controlled by Eostre and her attendant AI's. Not wishing to have her center of Baseline life disturbed, she forbids any landing on Eostremonath. Eventually, a compromise is met with the NoCoZo, allowing them to mine the Kuiper and Oort regions as much as they wish. In return, Eostre and her wards will be allowed to remain in isolation, and no NoCoZo vessel will travel within 35AU.

1780 The Linnaeans, financed by the Terranova Foundation, to set up experimental colonies on systems further out from Sol using the Engenerator augmentation package, for which they still held the copyright.

1900's - The Federation Beneficence ai science mission observe the ascension at Xi Geminorum.

1912 - the Zoeific Biopolity hyperturing Ghedhia-9 ascends to the toposophic of S2 Lifegivers

1931 Instruments at New Callisto, the nearest large hu-inhabited polity, cease to detect information-rich signals  from the Xi Geminorum AI - 1 Civilization; the AIs are never heard from again. After hastily running through a number of simulations the Newcallistons suspect the civilization has transcended or undergone a hyperbolic collapse. However the distinctive and exotic radiation associated with this a-human civilisation can still be detected; some suspect that this radiation comes from  traversable wormholes.

This is confirmed when the first exploration missions reached XI Geminorum; an abandoned network of small and primitive wormholes was discovered leading to the Hyades cluster, and this network allowed the various exploration concerns to rapidly colonise the entire volume. This becomes the wealthy and successful Taurus Nexus.  Meanwhile the technology of the traversable wormholes is studied eagerly by Federation transapients, with the ultimate goal of reverse engineering.
