Etherwhale in the Tiralfia system, and climax with the simultaneous
tragedies in the Rainbow Coalescence and the Toh Chi Lok-
Nar. Certain similarities to the Abaddon Catastophe of exactly 1000
earlier are obviously no coincidence. Indeed, due to this and other
details, the Attacks are clearly the result of centuries - even
millennia - of planning. The events have a profound effect upon the

9400 - Exactly 1000 years after the Archaipelago Attacks, the archailect known as the Archosaurian Entity (aka ArchSaur or the Toh Chi Lok-Malar) breaches the fifth toposophic barrier, subverting all archailects, godlings and hyperturings within the Archaipelago Cluster - including a somewhat surprised UrchinStar. While other world guardians are raised to the fourth toposophic barrier in the process, and all have apparently retained their individuality, all have also become subroutines of the greater archailect that is ArchSaur. This is believed to be the result of centuries of planning, deception and manipulation, and was almost certainly triggered by the tragic blow to Archosaurian pride and security during the Archaipelago Attacks. Thus begins the rise of the Archosaurian Empire.
