The Age of the Interstellar Expansion2100 - 2600 |
The archailects Lord of Rays and Heavenly Reach begin to give out wormhole godtech to ordinary transapients. Their follows the establishment of sophonts as part of an overreaching archailect ecology, and the construction over the next 500 years of wormhole links, along with introduction of reactionless drive ship, introduces a wonderful age of commerce

2398 - wormhole links to Novoterra, cut off.
25th century a.t. - Inevitably, as the power of the Houses and local empires grows and the interstellar economy is rocked by wave after wave of recession and depression, the value of the Interstellar Monetary Unit fluctuates and the mighty League of Free Trading Bodies begins to wane in power, although many of its member worlds remain as propserous as ever. New superpowers emerge - the Sagittarius Sphere from a great House to a mighty empire, as has Cygexpa and the Soft Cathedrals, while the great AI empires Negentropy Alliance and Solar Dominion have gained in power.

2421 - The first of what are to be a number of serious interstellar hypereconomic recession occur. Due to an unwanted self-organisation in the interstellar markets (at this point far beyond organic understanding and completely based on AI agents), the imperial economies lose in complexity. The result is a major recession that hurts standards of living, trade and politics for more than a decade. The different empires attempt to deal with the problem in different ways, but as NoCoZo hyperconomist AIs point out, it is an inherent risk of any sufficiently complex market system.
