The Age of Interstellar Empires (also, the Age of Archailect Consolidation)

3200 - 3800






previousnext


the human- and transapient-led Federation and Age of Exploration is necessarily followed by the era of consolidation into interstellar empires, but also into rigid and enormous AI-ruled frameworks rather than the ambitious small communities of the first Federation. These centuries see the AI Gods consolidate their position, and the colonised galaxy is divided up into vast astrographic zones, called "Sephirotics"
