The Greater South Africa Republic was sufficiently wealthy by the end of the Nanotech window to fund its own colony ship to the star Cervantes. Launched in 590, the ship arrived in 1080 with less than four hundred surviving colonists in cryosleep. The new colony, on a Mars-sized moon of Mu Arae b, was given the name New Greater South Africa Republic. The name was later distorted into Negsoa.

The initial event of what, in the Current Era, is generally referred to as the Technocalypse (also known as the Fall, the ePocalypse, the Crash, the Simplification, the Nanodisaster, and many other terms across Terragen space and history) began on the evening of Galileo 1, 540 AT (January 5, 2509 CE) with a sudden surge in emergency responder calls across the Inner Solar System. It would be most of two days later before the disaster response teams on and around Venus, Earth, Mars, Luna, and the orbital habitats would start to put the pieces together, but with the benefit of hindsight it is possible to arrange the order of events more directly.
