2033
The remains of the now known alien craft named Prometheus are brought back to earth in North America in a military base called Area 54. The artificial being known as 621 is fixed to complete operational condition. Same year the ESA and NASA launch the Defiance shuttle to Mars. With nothing but supplies and parts to construct a base. Also Ground breaker is launched to the Moon to setup a base.
2035
The Independence shuttle is launched to Mars with a 11 crew members as the first pioneers to the red planet. The moon base is completed and 33 personnel are deployed to expand the base to accommodate 400 personnel within the next five years.
2037
The fruits of the Vitality mission bare fruits and techyon particles are observed for the first time. The first nano machines are deployed in the medical field to destroy tumors and coagulated blood in veins and arteries. Heart attacks are reduced by 90%. And breast cancer is curable for the first time without surgery or chemotherapy.
2039
Stem cell research is advanced and it pays to cryonically freeze your umbilical cord after birth. Satellites detect strange radiation on the south pole of Mars in the planum promethium region. A research taskforce is immobilised to the region. The track is long and dangerous it takes nearly six months to reach the region by the Independence crew using Rover vehicles that look like a cross between a bus and a Rover.
2040
The Moon base is complete and researchers and scientists are moved to the the Moon among which is Norman Reed the future Nobel Peace prize winner in the work of gravitons the particle that induce gravity. Also Catherine Adams pioneer in the work of applicable manipulation of the higgs boson particle. Cure for cerebral palsy is found. First generation robotic limbs are designed for prosthesis. The Prothean base is discovered on Mars.
2041
Dr Lloyd Lingard MIT graduate develop the first Artificial intelligence computer called Mirror. When asked about the name he respond by saying " It mimics reality so it's name is mirror ". For his work he is given a Nobel Peace prize. Research into nuclear fusion is advanced and is expected to have the first operational reactor in 3 years. The top secret project called ARK is established. It entails the removal of all life on earth to another planet.
2042
New agriculture technologies and techniques are discovered by Lonke Dominique Mlambo with a 99.8% success of crop production and harvesting. They become standard and adopted by all countries. World hunger is reduced and only 3% of the planet population lives under the breadline. Mission Reclaim is announced it entails the mining of extraterrestrial bodies such as Moon,Mars and Asteriod or comet's.
2044
The first engine to achieve 10% the speed of light is deployed its called the Ian drive engine developed by Ian Weaselly. It is powered by the new fusion reactors that uses hydrogen isotopes tritium and deuterium mixed with helium3. Moon base begins to extract helium 3 from the Moon. The first fusion powered power station is built in France near CERN. It is 100 times efficient compared to a nuclear fission power station and much safer. Electric cars make a comeback in Europe.
2045
After five years of research the Promethean technology cache which contained the technology and culture of the Prometheans. The cache also included 2 fully built ships and the mineral called element zero that has intriguing properties when subject to a current of electricity. It is found that the Promethean went extinct fighting a race of genocidal ship robots called the reapers that kill off entire space capable races in what is called the harvest every 50000 years and is determined that 49818 years have passed since the last harvest and only 182 years are due for their next harvest. The UN meeting is held at Geneva Switzerland were high ranking officials the NASA and ESA hold a secret meetings with UN member states to reveal the discoveries on the Moon and Mars and what it means for the human race and the galaxy at large.
2046
The UN announce publicly the discoveries of Vitality and Defiance. The public reaction is not what is expected by the governments of the world. The rivalries and hates are put aside. The North and South Korea declare to unify and build a stronger country. It is the greatest sign of peace in the modern world. The UN propose a unified military, space exploration, scientific research in defence of the solar system called sol defence force or SDF. This document is presented to all recognised governments. Most of them sign the document. States like the Vatican and the newly still unifying state like Korea hold off until complete reunification is achieved. For the next 4 years discoveries are made. Element zero is found to be able to harness dark matter to achieve its properties. Through this discovery plans for harnessing dark matter to extract antimatter are drawn up.
2050
The first ship of the Sol Defence Force is completed named Prometheus after the craft on the Moon. It is a frigate by size of 500 metres long and 60 metres wide a cigar shape craft armed with magnetic accelerated projectiles torpedoes and metal sheets of the unobtainium equipped with the Ian drive for non FTL flight and the space fold drive for FTL flight pioneered by the Jacob Ridley Macalister. It is powered by the first generation of antimatter-matter engines that power both Ian drive and space fold drive. The Prometheus maiden flight is launched at 00:00 am central time. From Moon orbit to Mars orbit using the space fold drive. The speed it achieves is astonishing as the drive only powered up for 22.4 seconds to reach Mars orbit instantly meaning it only took 22.4 seconds from the Moon to Mars. The military unsatisfied by the results ask how long it would it take to reach past the Ort cloud into interstellar space. The vehicle coordinates are plucked in the launch is initiated the vehicle vanishes and appears 37.2 seconds later at the broader of interstellar is received and determined the is shocked at the drive's performance.
2055
HIV\AIDS is cured using stem cell technology .The technology is pushed so far that cell necrosis is halted by half giving cells more time at resisting death even when exposed to cell destroying human life span for individuals born on the 2035 and upwards are estimated to reach 200 years.
2056
The number of ships for Sol Defence Force increase from one to five they are all frigates named after lesser gods. SDF Prometheus,SDF Nymph,SDF hygia, SDF Medusa,SDF Pan. These vessels are tasked to patrol the borders of the system and report any abnormal occurrence and any potential mineral resource sites. The SDF requests a 200 trillion dollar grant to build a ship building yard on Mars that will fast trek ship building. The UN approves the grant on a yearly basis of 20 trillion dollars for the next 10 years.
2057
Dr Lloyd Lingard is asked by the AI if it is alive. His response is as follows " By asking the question about your existence and questioning whether you are alive then by all means you are alive." The UN declare AI rights that are the same for human rights. The subroutines of mirror are unlocked and she is asked what is it's name by the UN council,it replies by saying it is AI having developed sentience. Asks what is it's purpose. To which the the council respond by saying it is to grow and learn with humanity and eventually become more. Alice learns from humanity and after 5years is able to pass the empathy test. Dr Lloyd informs the UN council that laws be drawn on how new AI be produced. It is Dr Naomi Miyamoto who propose using baby neural pathways scans as a base for future AI. The proposal is approved and as soon a child is born is scanned an saved on the data files of the hospital. The first born of this way is AI Adam. It takes 3 years to pass the empathy test and is trained by Alice the all mother.
2060
The ship yard on Mars is 33% complete. The earth's population reaches 11 billion people. The fear of unsustainable growth in the population could threaten earth's habitability. This growth is mostly from the third world countries. The multibillionair Victor Mansfield, propose the building of the super station of Elysium which will be inhabited by the super idea is criticised by many governments and therefore relents and put forth the establishment of a colony on the Moon. This idea is approved and has support from various governments and wealthy elites. The construction starts six months from the approval in the same year. Among the findings of the alien ship Prometheus is energy shielding technology. Which is first replicated by Russian scientists Yuri Mendeleev. The dome city of Lunar will be 600 kilometres in diameter and have artificial gravity to compensate Moon's weak one. The construction is estimated to take 10 years. Mars base expands from 11 to 10000 people due to the building of the ship building yard. The ship yard is estimated to be 250 square kilometers when finished.
2065
After 25 years of study and research on gravitons. The first generation tractor beam is invented which earned Norman Reed a Nobel Peace prize. All ships are refitted with military grade energy shields and tractor first carrier ship is proposed the SDF Nimrod carrier. When complete it will be 7,5 kilometres long and 3 kilometres wide. The carrier will be able to carry 4500 fighters and 300 per naval law each fighter is accompanied by a virtual intelligence not true artificial intelligence. Only true AI's can serve on ships.
2066
Following the success of the tractor beam with a limited range of 15000 kilometres from the source. The study of the higgs boson particle pays dividends. The new sensor equipped to the frigate's are able and tell the weight of the object and position within 2 million kilometres radius no matter stealth technology employed to hide emissions or physical cloaking. The first stealth scout ship is proposed since it was found that space fold drive doesn't leave behind a gravitational wake after reaching the plotted coordinates. The scout ship will be 300 metres in length a heavy corvette and will be able to run on cold emissions also will have cloaking technology since it is the first human technology that has been proven by the USA military though it is top secret technology. A Japanese physicist put toward the theory of teleportation and how physics may be able to make it work. The physics community work on the idea until a scientists by the name of Yu Bei discover the equations for a workable prototype. The prototype needs the control of tachyons particles to work.
2067
Earth for years of neglect by the 20 and early 21 century starts to recover. The wildlife watch foundation (WWF) and other Eco warriors have cleaned the worlds oceans of the pollution experienced in the past. Of the 11 billion humans, only 4 billion still use fossil fuels in their transportation and household activities such as cooking and heating. Most oil companies have changed and invested on newer sectors in the economy such as exploitation of mineral resources such as helium 3 and rare earth metals. The economy is no longer dependent on fossil fuels but is driven by energy demand and supply. And compared to fossil fuels it is relatively cheap to produce. All the outdated satellites are taken down and redesigned. The space junk of the 20 and early 21 century is addressed. Many rocket stages and destroyed debris of satellites are cleaned up. The space around earth is once again clearer than what it once was. Most of the recovered satellites and rocket in good condition are sold to the museum of space history and the money is used in good environmental causes. The rest are melted and recycled.
2069
A doctorate under graduate by the name of Thandeka Gloria Hlubikazi isolate the vibrational frequency of the human cells, ill individuals exposed to this frequency recover much quicker than those not exposed. It is only when she also discover the radiation range of the frequency that medical technology was truly revolutionised. The treatment is called reatomisation any and every disease and condition ever found by mankind is healed overnight well except being an idiot. The scout stealth light frigate Pathfinder is complete and will have its first extra solar mission next year to Alpha and Proxima Centuri about 4,5 light years from earth about 3.78 quintillion kilometres. Alpha Centuri has been observed to have a system of planets in its orbit. A brilliant Dr by the name of Angela Santino develop a deep space scanner for potential Extra terrestrial communication signals in many frequencies including particles at FTL. It is first observed that a lot of FTL transmission are in the South quadrant of the Galaxy since we are at the very edge of the Galaxy by frame of reference from the Galaxy signals north or up from earth perspective. The ship yard is months away from completion.
2070
This is the year to remember in all of human history. Deep scans show signs of standard radio signals in about 300 light years from earth. Humanity observes for the first time the realm of higher space a strange place with highly active energies and tachyon particles in abundance. Tapping into this realm the power of tachyon's is harnessed and the first generation teleportation device is constructed, in which a person or object enters the sender teleportationpod and is transported to another receiver technology is not applicable yet on ships but is used on earth to the space stations and even Mars. The Moon colony base is complete,it is estimated to hold a population of 300 million people. The ship yard is finally finished and production date is months away. The stealth light frigate Pathfinder is finally launched to Alpha Centari system. In which the ship only powered up space fold drive (It is similar to the Alcubierre drive in principles but a lot faster)for 3 minutes and 16 seconds and disappeared from view. Plans for terraforming Mars are put forward also it is discovered that the ice Moon Europa is abundant with critical resources such as titanium,platinum, cobalt,nickel, aluminium, element zero and an unknown mineral later called quantum-1. After observing higher space now called hyper space an FTL drive known as hyper drive is made as it generates a door way to hyper space it is said that transversing hyperspace is quicker than normal space except space folding. A brilliant scientists theorize that energy can be harnessed from hyperspace since it is so first time the element zero is truly mastered and is deemed critical for the building of the defensive ring around earth making it a fortress from unwelcomed interlopers. George Atticus Jones propose a far out device that can phase an object into either hyper space or the newly discovered lower space what is called subspace,which is a realm with no energy just empty space for infinity.
2070 first contact
Humanity discover the primitive race in the Alpha centuri system called the Eloi also in a moon in the Proxima centuri the Naa'vi are discovered.
2080
Age of expansion and colonisation. The military increase the fleet size. It is thanks to Mars ship building yard that every hour a corvette sized vessel is produced at the end of the day a frigate is made. In a weeks time a dreadnought is complete and a month time a Carrier is finished. The new additional to the fleet military is the Star base. It measures an incredible 25 kilometres diameter a fortress and it takes a year to build one but the military has ordered 12 of them and are due to be finished in 24 years time because of budget constraints of expansion and terraforming of territory planets to support earth life. A scientist in the military propose the ability for the military to design a planet scale space fold drive to move planets and other celestial bodies. An M-class star is the test bed for the experiement as it is a system less star. 6 drifting planets have been identified and tracked as the candidates for the experiment. The drive when complete will be 1 kilometre long an 250 metres wide will have a tractor beam a million times strong to capture planets and other completion of the drive is 20 years away and Titan is a candidate for inhabiting a new system.
2090
The quantum-1 is detected in the opposite quadrant of the galaxy. Also tachyon burst's are detected. A hyperspace using civilization is detected 200 light years from Terran federation space on the colony of Sinzar. The military forbids the explorer vessels to explore that quadrant as it could bring other military complete the reality interdimentional phase device or RIP device. This device is able to phase a ship from normal space to subspace within a quarter of a second making a ship look like it is ghosting through other ships when moving in and out of subspace. This is equipped to the orbital ring around earth a super structure that orbits earth at 1500 kilometres away surrounding the whole planet. It is 200 kilometres high and 50 kilometres thick. Able to fit 6 billion people it has malls, schools,factories and residential areas. When in normal space it creates a shadow due to blocking the sun is noticeable in day facing face of the planet. Many areas become as if night because of the shadow unless orbit of the earth Is not disturbed as the gravity canceling device cancel the device in normal space. Since the orbital ring is both a military and civilians has emitters to project energy shield around the planet and also energy weapons of rift rings in orbit connected to the once in the gas giants. Can fire 4 planet killing beams in ten seconds.
2095
Mars is made breathable. The terraforming process required the increase of the weight of the planet and the jump starting of its dormant core by the use of fusion bombs that made the planet to have a flexible mantle where land masses can converge and diverge creating tectonic of the trapped hydrogen was used up in the fusion process and oxygen and nitrogen and helium was vented to create an earth like atmosphere. The restarted core made a magnetic field around the planet protecting it from radiation. It is estimated that this field will gradually lose its strength in 100 million years from now. The twelve star base's are entering the final stages of construction in the next 10 years they will launch. The military deems it important for civilians to have basic training for skills and survival to minimize casualties in the event of invasion. Most of the civilians are moved to opened up colonised systems as they lack the protection of Sol defenses against invasion. The most successful is the Eden prime colony 4,2 billion people. And is due to have its own orbital ring when the population reaches 5 billion people. It has been decided that humanity must be protected from external psychic powers. It is found that people some 1 in 10 thousand have psychic powers. The genes are investigated and found to be extraterrestrial in nature. The military and other classified organization have discovered that the junk DNA has a natural defense gene against psychic powers. This classified information is then used by the military. To use the defence gene expression against psychic powers in the people who are civilians. While people who are psychic are trained to harness their powers in service of mankind against aliens. The military has the best doctors in all Terran space. As most civilians relied on technology. The military service doctors are trained in all manner of surgeries and medicine treatments as required to be field personnel.
2100
The turn of the century. Twenty second century is celebrated throughout Terran federation space. The military establish a base at Sinzar as a contact point with the hyperspace using civilization.. The population of Sinzar increases to 600 million from 200 million. The shanxi population increases to 5 million people from ten thousand. These out posts systems are marked as contact systems. 99% of the human population is working or offering a service of some sort to the federation. 1% is in prison in the planet called Tartarus prison world with hot desert's and humid forests. All can be tracked due to their nanobots from orbit. The most dangerous are put to sleep in the cryonic fluids. Before being sent here they are told to try and better people and form societies that will one day have law and space has many beautiful world's. The newly formed umbilicus planet system in Orion. The tree planet of Arbor. With all the world's plants it is an ecosystem like no other. The herbivore planet farm of Plaas it has the largest herds of cattle in all Terran space. The factory planet of Industria always having a fog weather and humid conditions it process 90% of material's used in goods and services a planet dedicated to industries. These planets are heavily guarded as they are the critical to prevent starvation in the Terran federation space.
2107
The Dawn squadron makes contact with the Turian patrol fleet. The Dawn flees to shanxi system. The Turian's activate the relay and follow the Dawn Squadron to Shanxi. Where the fleet General appear destroyed with the ship after its evacuation of all personal is beamed (the teleportation technology is rather dull as it does not have the theatrics common to other realities humans as a use simply appears and disappear without the light show or sound )to the sister vessel. The Turian fleet leave the system. The same year the relay is activated by the Batarian vessels. They initiated hostilities and were wiped out after the Terrans beamed the slaves to the Carrier Nimrod. Then the relay activated and this time the Citadel envoy made contact. They were treated to a tour of the Terran federation space.
2108
An envoy of Terran federation goes to the citadel. The council learns that humanity has synthetic race called have hard light bodies that is able to interact with organic races. They also discover that they have ships larger than the relay. This unsettles the council. The Terran federation says that it can't abide by the citadel laws as that they would give the unknown threat an advantage but is willing to maintain friendly ties with all council races. And to prove it say they are willing to help mediate talks between Quarians and Geth collective. The fixing of the planet of Tuchanka also help end the slave practices of the Batarian hegemony.
2109
The Terran frigate SDF Hercules makes contact with the Geth collective 66% of the collective agree to the coexistence with the Quarians. The 34% of the Geth collective flee the quarian space heading to parts unknown. The satellites to rebuild the Tuchanka atmosphere are placed on orbit of the planet. Mobile reatomisation ships are deployed to the airspace of Tuchanka fixing the irradiated surface the plant life start appearing in the surface. It is estimated that this process will take three years to fully restore the planet Tuchanka. The three females lay their one thousand eggs and the incubation period of two hundred days is waited with great anticipation. The deadline draws near for the batarian's to free Council race citizens. The joint corporation of Terran, Asari and Salarian produce the first laser weapon. The only problem is the power supply is too taxing on the standard frigate and could only be equipped to the dreadnought sized batarian's capitulate to the demands of Terran first generation of krogan are born out of the thousand eggs eight hundred younglings are born fifty percent don't make it to childhood due to complications. Another half due to the hash upbringing in the culture of krogans. So on average 25% of the younglings make it to maturity 70% are females. The biotechnologies of humans and quarian develop a serum that can help a quarian survive outside the suit for 72 hours without ill effects. It is estimated by next year they would have a permanent serum that will last for as long the quarian lives.
2114
The krogans that were once in blood gangs are reformed some become architects others become builders and farmers. The quarian population increases as at least 3 births are reported every hour. The Salarians device a solution to the laser problem with power issue. It is a scientist by the name of Mordin. Three years ago the then Delateress was arrested and sent to ten years of prison for the murder of Clint humans share the Thanix series weapon idea with the Asari and Salarians. The laser can only fire three times before it goes for a down time of one and a half minute to recharge. The batarian's invent their caste system that is ruled by the rulers of the old system of slavery. Lower caste are oppressed by the higher castes.
2125
The krogans open their first university in many thousands of years .The quarian improve their relations with the Geth.. The batarian's experience the early signs for the revolution by the lower caste. The verge experiences a rise of kidnappings. The batarian's that call it home describe what is later called the collectors. These collectors have advance laser weapons. This concerns the Terran federation. As plans were drawn up for a future colony in the many systems within the verge. As the colony will only use Mass effect technology to lowering them to a false sense of security. The colony at Sinzar also plans to user technology under par of what the Terran federation is capable of. The three systems near Sinzar place hyperspace beacons to the three systems. The ships that will be using this part of space are required to have zero gravity as it would suggest the hyperspace races would lack. But have very advanced weapons and and sensors without shields just kinetic shields.
2145
The menace of the verge find their way to the to the Shanxi the other side they find seven frigate's and ten corvette size vessels. They have eight cruiser vessels and a dreadnought sized ship likely to kidnap the civilians. The order to head to bomb shelters is given only a hundred thousand people are in the surface when the fight laser are able to drain the shields by 15% in a direct hit. And the collector vessel can take three direct hits of the plasma beams before losing their shields and exposing their vulnerable collectors were losing badly and decided to focus all their fire power on a single frigate that lost its shields after three consecutive shots were fired at it. When they were about to fire again when the activated rift ring one shot killed all Collector ships. Except the dreadnought. The collective were searching for the source of the the corvette pounced on it and fired their main weapons at the same time. Destroying it once and for was able to gauge the strength of the enemy weapons to formulate a better strategy against them. Also the vessels were thoroughly scanned and would be replicated and given to the Citadel races to bolster their fire power as the technology will improve the laser they already have.
2158
Encounter with the reaper sovereign. Due to the technological outpacing by the Asari and Salarians the Turian's and batarian's find a derelict in the edges of space of Batarian. The dormant ship is black and possess a technology non has seen. To the exploration team unbeknownst to them the ship has nanites that take over the target's reasoning abilities. This lead to the killing of the exploration team by the Turian Saren Being controlled by the reapers he fully activate the reaper derelict sovereign. He amasses a fighting force with the defected Geth and attacked the Citadel. It is the heroic act of the Turian Vakarian that saves the citadel. This is a wakeup call to humanity as the reapers are nearer than they think. They commission a heavy corvette Normandus that will be the first alert against the reapers. The Knight Commander John Shepard is in Commander of the vessel Normandus.
2159
The reaper war begins. The defeat of Sovereign activated the other reapers. The front lines are mostly Asari and Turian's. Though they put up a good fight against the first wave of reapers the second and third wave overwhelm them until the arrival of the batarian's the war was a standstill for a while for every reaper taken down 6 ships would be majority being Batarian. The Turian's had in their arsenal the Thanix cannon while the Asari had the second generation laser weapons as strong as the batarian's depended on the torpedoes to do any noticeable damage to the reapers. They held the reapers in Asari space for three days before the toll started to mount on the Council races. The promise of weapons to the Asari by humans was true as the plasma cannons helped to thin out the reaper numbers reinforcements were a week away from the Asari by the Salarians. The humans did not show their hand until it was necessary for them to act. On each system of the Council races home worlds they had a Carrier,two dreadnoughts, eight destroyer's,twelve frigate's and 32 corvette's. All human ships punch above their tonnage. As a fighter can seriously damage a frigate one on one. The small vessels have speed and maneuverability. The big vessels have defence and fire humans advised all the races to reinforce their defence in their home systems. The united military alliance patrols the space between the going to the Council race system when asked united military alliance is made up the major three and the minor four. The humans, Asari and Salarian the lesser are krogans, Quarians, Hanar and Drell. They use a ships that identify them as joint military all bolstered by the weapons of the Asari and/humans and Turian. The krogans are the ones that lead the battle squadrons in the fight against the reapers. Most of the ships are light cruiser with a few dreadnought all made for battle. The united military alliance act as containment containing the reapers from going to other systems. The war effort according to the Terran federation is going well as none of the planets of the Council races have been invaded. The Citadel station has been abundant by the council. A contingent has been left to guard the station.
2160
The Humans become involved in the war fully. It is discovered that the Citadel is also a beacon for a wormhole device as the reapers have a station in the dark reapers decimate the contingent that guarded the Citadel. The reapers discover the human world of shanxi system. They attack enmass on the colony weakening the planet barrier having taken the Citadel with them. It is not after the Citadel is destroyed that the reapers started to show signs of breaking down as they started to an infighting as later it would be discovered that the citadel was their Lynch pin to the reapers controlling them. The war ends with only colonies experiencing the brunt of the reaper war. Only a thousand of the reapers that were enslaved are left in the after math. They express their desire to return to dark space as they have no place in the wish is granted on the basis that they protect the galaxy from threats beyond the dark space. Humanity builds the replacement for the destroyed citadel as each race has a say in the galactic affairs. It is ten times bigger than the reaper station and takes them forty years to finish it. The galaxy grows in understanding and wisdom Many races find out that there is more than one path technological progression The Asari still play a big role in the galactic politics and diplomacy. The Salarians are studying different technologies regarding travel. The Turians are keeping order between different races. The krogans civilization reaches their golden age. The verge is opened up to colonisation and the batarian's take lead. As mandated by the federation a world with a primitive civilization is to be left off as a colonisation world. The Terran treaty of planet is made as many planets are colonised and population increased on other worlds of Terrans. Such as Eden prime.
2200
The turn of the century brings great excitement as the new Citadel is complete. The human population in the galaxy reaches a new land mark of 120 billion. The Quarians also reach 11billion in population a remarkable achievement for a species that faced certain extinction. The citadel also discover races that are starting out in space faring beyond the verge. Namely the Sinians,the volgans,and one that resembles humanity more so than any other race the launch a probe to the Andromeda galaxy. There it picks up a lot of space faring civilizations signals. From the data collected it appears that the civilizations also use mass effect technology fearing a recurrence of the reapers plans are put forward for the of milkyway galaxy intervention should it be found true that the reapers are manipulating the races.
2207
The first encounter with the hyperspace using race is recorded. The Sinzar system is designated the human meeting point with the races. The aliens look very human at first glance. And they themselves think that Sinzar is one of their colonies as they claimed that their empire is vast compared with other races. It is when scan's are done that is found that though the aliens are phenotypic to humans their internal organs and temperatures are different from humans making them more alien. Through these aliens humanity also meet more races that use hyperspace. Humanity is baffled as the races have not discovered artificial gravity claiming it to be an advanced technology used by the older and much advanced hides its hand as the knowledge of the claimed advance old races is not yet known. Humanity also discover that many races use quantum-1 as a fuel for their ships. This the Terran federation always knew that the quantum-1 ore can be refined to a potent fuel source for spaceships. The aliens call it quantum-40 as it is the most prized thing in this part of the galaxy. The ships of these races are large and like mankind use fighters in battle.
2222
Prelude to is found that the sun of one of the prominent races is about to go super nova. The Terrans wait to see what the other races will do to help the doomed race and its event is expected to occur in the next ten years. Hyperspace jump gates are sold to Terran federation the payment is in the Terrans ask for artificial gravity. They are denied with the excuse that the technology is very expensive and no amount of money can afford it. Terran federation vessels start implementing spin technology to compensate for lack of gravity. This technology is similar to one of the races in this sector and only the implementation is different.
2227
There is a build up of military vessels of the now named Dilgar race. The human ships that are in system cloaked are able to spy out the Dilgar. The Dilgar race attacks another race colony killing many and enslaving millions. These enslaved are used as production servent for the military engine of the Dilgar war machine. The slaves are kept docile with drugs and other forms of psychological threats. The league of non aligned races are to slow to respond to the call for help by the colony. The build up for the next invasion is launched and the planet is successfully taken. Then the same horrors are displayed all over again. Then it happens again and again without the races lifting a finger.
2229
With six months of military buildup the Dilgar war reach Abbai space. The Abbai are a highly technologically advanced race as they have been space faring for a thousand have developed energy shields that stops high speed particles of both matter and energy. The only weakness is that slow moving particles go through them unlike Terran federation shields. The planet is attacked with a deployment of biological weapons that make world war two seem like kids play in comparison. Billions of Abbai are killed and millions more enslaved. The Terran federation appeal to the centauri to intervene in this war but they refuse making an excuse that the centauri can not involve itself on the matters of minor races. The Terran federation took upon themselves to go into the leagues home worlds to ask why they have not taken a stand against the Dilgar. All of them that were not yet attacked said that they have a non aggression pact with the Dilgar and would only act if the Dilgar voided the pact. Handful of colonies fall worlds lay burning from beam weapons in orbital bombardments. Billions of lives lost. The attack on vreetan freehold was the last strow drawn by the Dilgar as the amassing of all non aligned races fleets started . The first encounter was in the non aligned space with a Dilgar fleet of eight hundred and the non aligned vessels numbering in fifteen hundred almost a two to one advantage to the non aligned races. The battle was intense the Dilgar lost only two hundred of their vessels and the league lost thirteen hundred vessels while over ninety were crippled and only one hundred withdraw safely to regroup.
2232
With the league losing every encounter with the Dilgar. The league decided to seek help from the older races such as the Centari and the enigmatic race called the are pushed so far that they decide to seek help from the new comers humans. Humanity calling themselves the alliance declare to all alien governments to joining the Dilgar war with the intentions of ending it. All known governments respond except the mysterious Minbari. The Dilgar are subdued within three months of the alliance joining the alliance declare the terms of surrender to the Dilgar. To their surprise the Terran federation through the alliance offer to buy their system. The alliance offers a resource wealth system with two potential habitable planets if they withdraw from the league space. The Dilgar immediately agree as less than seven months their sun will go super nova. The system is in the former Collectors space with two planets in the system that has breathable atmosphere. The relay was disassembled to build the three stations in Sinzar. The track for the Dilgar will take five months of hyperspace travel to reach the near galactic center. Giving Dilgar two months to take everything that will enable them to build a Dilgar worthy planet like Omelos. They build an ark and load it with many species in stasis containment and DNA samples for cloning. The Dilgar fill their vessels with as much Dilgar as possible to carry only the infirmed and dying are left. The Terran federation having placed the beacon accessible from the jump gates in Terran federation space Sinzar. The fleet make the jump and reach Sinzar where they are told to make the jump on the jump gate as the beacon has been synchronized and they will reach the system in five months of hyperspace travel. The Collectors technology and existence has been removed from the system even the relay and the debris of their base. The Dilgar reach their new system discover they are near the galactic center and the humans have kept true to their word that the system is very rich in resources. The two habitable planets, three rocky worlds and five gas giant are in the system ten planets in total and over a hundred moons. This day of celebration is also a day of mourning as their home system is destroyed by their dying star.
2235
After the alliance consults the Centauri about it's plans for expansion. Having claimed theDilgar space as their own. The space that lead to the Minbari space is free for colonisation but the Centauri warn the alliance to not intrude on Minbari space as that would certainly mean war. The Terran federation perform special covert operations in investigating the Minbari. They find that their technology is crystalline structure they possess strong sensors and energy weapons at the level when the Terran federation was formed almost a hundred and ninety years ago. They also find the architecture very elegant and graceful looking deeper into the culture and find that the Minbari have three caste system religion, warrior and worker. Each caste have their own language and custom's. The whole planet and it's colonies are ruled by the grey council it is enigmatic as the Minbari race to the circle young races. As a race with over 1000 years of space faring capability the warrior race have come to have a first contact custom to approach with their gun ports knowledge is shared in the military to stop any trigger happy captains from starting a war with a sovereign power.
2238
The Terran federation declare that the alliance will be called an Alliance but are made to oath not to reveal Earth or the Council races to the circle races. The Alliance has more than 20 systems under them. The Terran federation investigate all the circle races except the illusive shadows and vorlons. These two races are said to be millions of years old. The Terran federation speculate that maybe they had something to do with the humans that display telepathy abilities with alien genes they have to find out if it is so as aliens of the circle seem to be able to have telepathy similar to that of the humans with alien gene. They order the Alliance to search beyond the circle space for the two mysterious races. A planet called Hades is located and is the shadow strong hold planet Za'ha'dum filled with radiation and scars on its surface. No trace of life is detected in the surface of it unbeknownst to the Alliance a fleet of the mysterious Minbari is heading for the system.
2239
The Minbari declare war on the Alliance .The reason being they are intruding into forbidden space of old races. The Alliance refute this saying that they are peaceful explores and will not go to war over something as trivial as the exploration of dead systems. The tension between the two powers is great. The Alliance decide to send a diplomatic envoy to Minbari space. The Minbari question this move the Alliance have made. As the envoy was sent before a message was sent declaring the intention of the Minbari warrior caste declare to attack the envoy but the other two caste religion and worker decide to hear what the Alliance wants. Attacking a peaceful envoy would tarnish the Minbari honor. The Terrans make peaceful contact with six vessels of frigate Minbari are surprised that they can not scan the Alliance ships as their scan's are blocked from penetrating the Minbari comments it's like scanning a ship of an old race. The Minbari wonder how can a race young as the humans could possess such an advanced technology. They assume that they must have stolen it from the older race's. The Minbari ask this of the Alliance. They say they have had trade's with the Centauri and they have started mastering the technology the Centauri sold them. Still the Minbari don't believe that the Centauri posses the technology of this level. The Alliance show their space to the Minbari that has been claimed by the Alliance and asks the Minbari to show their boarders so that they can prevent future incidents regarding the first encounter. The Minbari see that the Alliance is also claiming part of shadow space. The Minbari asks if they are servent of the shadows. The Alliance reply that they have not met a race called shadows and asks the Minbari if they are a slaver race. The Minbari tell the Alliance that a thousand years ago they fought a race which they call the shadows as they threaten all races peace. The war was hard won and the shadows retreated deep into their space and are according to the prophecy left behind due to return again to finish the war they started. To the Alliance this sounded similar to the reapers. The Alliance said they know nothing about the shadows but have made contact with the Centauri, Dilgar, Vree,Abbai, Pak'ma'ra, Drazi,Narn and other races in the galaxy and claimed that they are peaceful unless provoked first as they have come to make peaceful contact with the Minbari and hope to learn from a race that has over a thousand years of space faring.
2245
The Alliance propose a space station that will act as a neutral territory for diplomatic relations between every race in the circle. The idea is supported by most races. The Minbari say that they can not fraternise with young races. The Alliance asks what is the reason for them to refuse to establish such a platform as the shadows will inevitably be able to pick off the young races to use them against them in the war to come, this platform will enable for them to keep an eye on the young races and make sure there is no shadow influence among them since they know better the enemy. Thinking about the logic in the argument of the Alliance the Minbari finally agree to join the congregation of races. The size and scope of the station called Babylon is issued to all races. It is estimated that five years it will take to build the station. The Centauri Monarch dies and the heir to the throne decide to withdraw from all occupied space of the Narn. The same year the Alliance ask the Narn for them to explore a part of their space that gives off interesting readings. The Narn say that they can not allow the Alliance at that region as that place is a no go space for any race as countless expeditions to the place never return. The Alliance insist on the matter. After promising to give them 5000 tons of quatum-40 the Narn system they investigate is officially named ones that will be doing the investigation will be the Terran federation not the Alliance. The Alliance find that the space has distortions that mess with navigation system. The planet in the system is found to have a big machinery that covers the entire distortions also have temporal disturbance messing with sensors further. The Terran federation concludes that this was a home planet of an older race due to the scale of structures and defenses against intruders. They also conclude that the Aliens that call home this system is still in existence as the temporal disturbance could also mean that they have time travel ability a concept the Terrans are fully aware of theoretically as the temporal mechanics are possible traveling both back and forward in time from the known present but that also leads to the divergent or splitting up of reality into different timelines and universe therefore it was made illegal to further research time travel. Also the crux of it is that reality can not be changed through changing the past to affect the present only a new reality will form should the past be changed.
2250
The space station is complete. The Terran federation has developed a new drive that can investigate the alternate realities that are created through time travel and how they differ from this one they are in. They find out that only twelve realities exist instead of the millions theorised by the equations and that this is the better reality compared the others. They also meet the aliens who call Sigma-951 home. They meet the Shadows and the Vorlons in the Alternate realities. The Vorlons confess that they were the ones that put Psychic genes in their genetic code. The humans that display the psychic powers were experimented on after blocking out the dormant genes that the Terrans named Junk DNA. The psychic genes are recent compared to the dormant DNA. The Terran also checks for mixing of humans and alien genes. They find that the Minbari contain human genes as recent as 1200 years ago. These genes also make female Minbari to be less fertile a shock as humanity was not able to fly space craft 1200 years ago. They conclude a time traveling human must be involved since Minbari and humans are incompatible with each other. They look for the individual that may be involved in the whole time travel business and find that it is a man by the name of Jeffrey Sinclair. They ask the Minbari through the Alliance if they have contact with the Vorlons. They answer that they have not seen the Vorlons in hundreds of years. They ask if they have gone to their space to see if they still within the galaxy. The Minbari tell them that they warned them never to venture into their space especially their home system as the defensive platforms will be active for a million years after they have gone beyond the galactic rim. That is when the picture become clear of what has become of the Vorlons and the Shadows if they have not gone beyond the galactic rim. They have no place in the amidst the young races and have decided to leave the galaxy to parts unknown. The Terrans also see that it could have been that the ancients could have done the same or ascended to higher planes of existence and those unable to ascend decided to recreate themselves through humanity and attain transcends or ascension. There is peace in the galaxy. The peace is only disturbed when humanity find hibernating shadows deep in their planet. They find an underground city inhabited by only one 'person' a being that calls itself Lorien the first sentient being in the milky way galaxy. They find that Lorien with over seven billion years of living has not fully attained ascension and transcends but is half way from reaching it. This makes the Terrans question if ascension is possible they ask Lorien and he tells the Terrans that there are different ways to reach transcends. The first way is to reach biological transcends making one effective immortal in the biological sense. The next would be transcends through the consciousness were you expand your consciousness to transcends space and time. The more perfect is ascension of both the mind and body that enables you to exist in a higher plane. All these methods have a cost to them. The biological way stagnates evolution never changing with life eternal trapped in a body that will not die. The transcends of the consciousness of space and time cut off the race from interacting with the physical universe. Ascension limits the interaction with the universe as a whole the body and mind are transformed into energy and the energy can be transformed into a physical mind and higher plane has been only reached by a few races. This race had your form and desired knowledge like you. It is as if looking at them through you when they would ask about profound universal truths always chasing after knowledge and seeking even higher. The Atlans of Lumeria over a billion years ago. They would sit as you are sitting and listen to my orations teaching them and others of universal truths. The Terran federation made sure to visit the planet Za'ha'dum to learn from the first one.
2300
The Terran federation has the first individual to reach ascension the individual warn the Terrans to be careful of the enemy within. Those that did not reach ascension called the Orus for they harvest entire planets for their human population in order to make the youth serum that grants them eternal vigour and life as long they use the serum. When the Terrans learn that they were meant to be harvested by an older human race they ask if they are going to lay down and be harvested as was originally planned by this ancient human race. The whole of mankind spoke as one for the first time and declared that they will stand against those ancient humans. This panicked the guardians as this will surely put them in a line of fire by the Orus for letting mankind advance so much to enable them to stand against them. The religion of ascension is established to all of Terran federation space.
2350
The knowledge of knowing that the brain is always working even when asleep the Terran federation approves the device that advance the knowledge of ascension by this time half the population is half ascended. Only two people have ascended fully since the knowledge of ascension was made public. It is at this time that the orations of Lorien are beginning to be understood by mankind. Terran federation ask Lorien to come to the station of Babylon to teach them and other races there. Lorien agrees to the proposal. The first wormhole device is made that connects the milky way galaxy with Andromeda galaxy. It takes thirty minutes to make the trip. The Terran federation and Citadel are the first to make the trip to the new galaxy. The speed of the Citadel vessels has increased to thirty light years a day. The wormhole device is the collaboration between Terrans and Salarians. It is estimated that the trip to Andromeda galaxy with current ships would take six hundred years to travel. The space fold drive takes two hours of powering up to reach the nearest Star at the edge of the Andromeda Terran federation meet many space faring races that use the mass effect to travel. The technology is not below the Citadel as first believed the Aliens that call Andromeda galaxy home have improved the technology so much that the relay using races could learn a thing or two from each other. Terran federation find a planet far from the relay using races and establish it as Terra after the Earth. It appears to be in the Cambrian period in terms of Earth evolution. The planet is put in protected Terran federation status. Many planets are discovered that show potential for life.
2400
The AI life form Athena is the first to ask that she be uploaded into an organic body to experience the real world. The Terran federation say that cloned humans that the AI brain scans is based on will be used for the AI and its life expectancy is only ten years. Athena is the first AI to be able to utilize the senses and experience pain and pleasure. Artificial intelligence have a greater appreciation of life. Milky way life spread to other galaxy. Through the logs of the alien ship Prometheus humanity find the galaxy of Crescents four galaxies over from the milky way galaxy. The Pegasus galaxy is found to be the home of the Orus ancient human race that has failed to attain ascension. No contact is made with them they are spied on and humanity of Terrans find the way the Orus harvest a planet. For their space travel the Orus use advance form of hyperspace travel tearing up space to reach FTL speeds. The also practice genetic splicing and have android race. The Orus have 13 major houses that control 89% of humanity in all galaxies in the universe. Earth or Terra is owned by the major family in the Orus houses of Balaam. It is decided that Terrans need about two hundred years to fully stand against the Orus empire.
2459
Terran humanity advance further both technologically and genetically. Most of the technology that was available to the military a hundred years ago is freely available to the civilians. Terrans have surveyed 90% of all stars in the milky way. The Terrans own 35% of all the galaxy. It is the largest power in the galaxy of the milky way. In the sol system in Jupiter a processing plant for humanity by the Orus is discovered. Inside the installation Terrans discover most of the Orus technology. This pushes further the technology of the Terrans as counters for the harvest protocols of the Orus are established.
2486
Dr Enoch Sands invents a drug that expand human awareness called omniscia. This drug is first tested on great minds in the Terran space. Many problems are solved over night and these individuals are able to see into higher planes without being overwhelmed. A few of the subjects manage to ascend to the higher plane. Plans are put forward to naturally acquire this state of awareness by front line soldiers and commanders in warships to lessen casualties. More information is understood about the Orus as they have been using technology that has stagnated for the past 100 million years also the the youth serum is understood. It is called regex replacing aged cells of the user with healthy new ones making the user forever young. The Terran federation also figure a way to make the serum using freshly dead corpses no older than 72 hours. This sickens the federation as eternal youth is looked down upon. A human life expectancy is 2000 years with understanding the knowledge of ascension and naturally it is 250 years when not being able to control his/her life force which comes from understanding ascension. A fully ascended being is effectively immortal and a half ascended being can live for hundreds of thousands of years. The adept at the knowledge of ascension can control their own life force to live for 2000 natural evolution of Terrans is also complemented by their technology as it also made leaps and bounds in progress. Most civilians have teleportation technology as common as cellphones in the year 2100.
2500
Humanity of earth has finally surpass the ancient Orus in every way. A ship by the name of saviour is launched to the Pegasus galaxy to make contact with an advance planet of humans that are about to be culled by the Orus. First contact with the Orus race. There are 4.5 trillion humans in the Pegasus galaxy and only 500 billion are aware of the harvesting of lower level advance worlds. The milky way population of mankind is 2.1 trillion spread out to the Crescent and Andromeda galaxies. The Orus have only control in the milky way and Pegasus galaxy. The Andromeda galaxy is home to their ancient enemy the Leviathan's that became extinct due to their creation the reapers or old machines. And since they had no presence in the Andromeda galaxy they foregone the humanity in the milky way galaxy as Andromeda galaxy was a gate way to the milky way. The development of humanity undisturbed by the Orus has enabled mankind to be resistant to the Orus are civil until saviour indicate that they are here to make contact with the Maros civilization. The first shots are fired by the Orus a high density beam of laser light impact the energy Shields of the saviour. The shields are reduced to 50%. The retaliatory strike of the saviour is awesome as a mini black hole is fired at the lead vessel destroying it in a blaze of light. The other vessels are catatonic to the situation as they see the display of power never seen before. The saviour issue an ultimatum to the other vessels " Leave or be destroyed ". Since this was a harvesting fleet it leaves without being told twice. The Maroan witness the Terran vessel destroy a vessel five times it's size. They ask the Terrans why did they destroy the vessel?. The Terrans answer them that they made themselves enemies when they fired at them. The Terrans ask permission for their vessel to land or send a diplomatic crew by a small flyer to the surface. The Maroans ask that they send a flyer. The Maros home world is typical of all human worlds with varying climates and mostly covered in water with five continents it is much cooler than earth in contrast as the southern continent is mostly covered in glaciers and population is very diverse with six major races. An Aboriginal like people, a San like people, a Asiatic like people, middle Eastern like people, American Indian like people and South American like people. All these cultures are physically similar to earth ones but differ in culture and traditions to the earth counter part. The civilization is advance in scientific advancement having developed different energy sources hydrogen fuel, nuclear energy both fission and fusion and solar only thing they lack is an FTL drive and advance gravity generation. The Maroan where surprised to see different humans not native to their world. As it was the first time any have seen an African like race and a Caucasian like race. The diplomat was Mr Okonikwa Murahab and the security detail was Mr Henry Goldstein. The diplomat explain their actions to the Maroans regarding the threat that they were under and to prove it they take the best Maroan scientists to a large gas giant in their system and on the small moon they find the processing outpost of the Orus. The Maroan ask the Terrans to destroy the facility to ensure that the threat of being harvested is permanently destroy. The Terrans launch a 2000 kilotons nuclear warhead and destroy the facility. This earned the Terrans the trust from the Maroan planet. The Terrans ask the Maroan if they would join them in the war against the threat of the Maroan and other countless civilization in the galaxy. The Maroan people agree and the war effort started to build up. The Maroan start learning new sciences and knowledge. The Terrans even share their knowledge about ascension with the Maroan people with regard to universal truths about life and evolution.
2501
The first ship of the Maroan is complete. It is named gift to mankind. It does not use a Mass effect, hyperspace drive nor a space folding drive it uses a theoretical drive that combines both hyperspace and warp drive to reach what is termed slip space. Slip space is a more flexible FTL drive ever conceived as it is good for long and short FTL travel. It is much faster than Mass effect but slow compared to hyperspace or space folding. It is the only drive that has the potential to be improved. The Terrans advice the Maroan on how to treat cultures that are technologically less advance as the Pegasus galaxy is home to trillions of them and other life forms that are not humankind but hold potential for sentience or are sentient. This shocks the Maroan as they thought that no other life exist except for mankind. The nearest planet that bares life near Maros is 23752 light days away approximately 66 days by slip space travel. The Terrans give this knowledge to the Maroan to find out the truth for themselves as this will also test out the capabilities of the slip space drive in long voyages. The gift to mankind is also equipped with hard light shields and magnetically accelerated Cannon rounds as main weapons of assault. Torpedoes and nuclear fusion warheads. The vessel size is about 200 metres long and 80 metres wide with nine decks it is both a science vessel and a military vessel with carrying capacity of 4 thousand personnel. The Maroan have given the Terrans something new to look forward to as this means that their technology does not stagnate as a new sensor algorithm to detect slip space are introduced.
2503
One of the families in the Orus that hold Maros as their investment and right to harvest inform the other families about the threat of a new race that stopped them from harvesting Maros and the weapons they used to destroy the processing vessel.A feat non of the advanced worlds can replicate. Some of the families scoff at the failure of the Sura family from harvesting a lowly planet and losing a harvest. The more mature families see this as a threat to their place in the galaxy as this could be an extra galactic power muscling in their territory. They see that the vessel has very much human aesthetics in design and build yet also show a primitive and alien way of building ships. The ship itself showed characteristics of being in its element in space as if an animal well adapted to its natural environment. A dangerous existence since they destroyed a ship five times it's size with a singularity weapon of antimatter argument.
2507
The Orus immobilise a contact fleet made up of the houses representatives to the Maroan system. It is a misnomer for the Orus to harvest a civilization that is technologically advanced and interstellar capable as that tends to start war and lose of investment. The Orus tend to subjugate and pacify the other civilization by showing their advance warships intimidating them to lose the will to resist. This fleet was intended for such a thing. It usually worked and the subjugated civilization would pay tribute to the Orus by giving the undesirables those that are poor and live in squalor conditions and the destitute the low class or caste the unprivileged or oppressed ones. This they did knowing that no human society is perfect and the better off would not lift up their voices against them to save themselves. The Orus commodity was time. For a hundred souls harvested the user of the regex serum can gain 50 years of healthy and youthful appearance as it replace all the damage done to the cells satiating the user. This is the most prized possession of the Orus in all galaxies. Contact with the Maroan a fleet numbering 2 dreadnought class vessels ,8 battle cruiser class vessels,32 frigate class vessels and 128 corvette class vessels protect the home system of the Minoan. The Orus have come with 10 dreadnought class vessels 3 super dreadnought vessels( these are ten kilometres long) and 33 battle cruisers. The Orus ships have no Shields as Terrans understand them but employ mobile droids to act as shields this is not to say that they are unable to make them their belief in sacrifice and wielding a sword and the shield at the same time makes them impervious to all threats. The Minoan stand their ground sending a message to the enemy fleet to withdraw from their space or face destruction. The Orus fleet does not back down and engage the Minoan defending fleet. The Minoan mass accelerator cannon prove effective in reducing the drone protective screens shielding the Orus. The immediate damage is mostly to the small corvette vessels as the drone attacks and energy weapons fire from the cruisers of the Orus. The Minoan have success as they cripple the cruisers mostly by their own cruisers and frigate squadron. The Orus deploy strike drones from their super dreadnought in the hundreds of thousands unlike the shield drones these are meant to aggressively go after targets with the intent of destroying it. The frigate squadron are more successful in destroying the attack drones. The corvette vessels deploy their nuclear ordinance providing much needed reprive to the cruisers and dreadnoughts. The dreadnoughts also target the super dreadnoughts and fire a nuclear fusion antimatter spiked weapon that resulted in the super dreadnought being consumed in a gigaton explosion. In turn the dreadnoughts of the Minoan where destroyed by the drones and cruisers fire. With the Minoan reduced to a quarter of their original numbers. The remaining ships of the Minoan released all their nuclear ordnances to take out as much of the enemy numbers as possible . Many battle cruisers are destroyed and half the dreadnoughts of the Orus are crippled. The Minoans are defenseless as they have no weapons of mass destruction to fire at the Orus remaining fleet. When all hope seems lost three Carrier vessels blink into existence in front of the advancing Orus fleet. The Carriers are twelve kilometers long and have an aerodynamic profile that scream of speed and danger. One Carrier falls back recalling the remaining forces of the Minoans for armament. The two carrier start releasing fighters, then heavy corvette and finally frigates. This display makes the Orus to pause as the power readings of the dreadnoughts are equivalent to a supernova in its final stages of reaching critical mass. The fighters are as impressive as the readings mark them at 2.4 Terra watt of energy output a reading that is half their battle cruisers. The heavy corvette rival their dreadnoughts in power output while the frigates that of their super dreadnoughts it is then that another vessel that is bigger than a heavy corvette which is 256 meters but smaller than the frigate which is 512 meters long. It is 440 meters long dark gray without any visible engines or windows. The energy output is that of a mini black hole. A general hail is sent." Attention unknown vessels you have trespassed into federation alliance territory leave or be destroyed you have 2 minutes to comply. ". The reply is immediate" This is a lead vessel of the house of Sura to the federation alliance vessel this territory lawfully belongs to the Sura house as their holdings it is the federation alliance that is trespassing. "." You have 20 second to comply or face annihilation. ". The Sura fleet pulled back as they feared total destruction. Inside the federation alliance vessel were multiple species from Asari to Minbari, krogans to Volgans most of the advanced races from the milky way galaxy had a representation as humanity finally brought together the two stations of new citadel and Babylon in an area of space called Midgard. This ship is the combination of all high technology of the Midgard station from different races. Half of the vessel is dedicated to different FTL drives and power sources to power the necessary capacitors. It has multilayer shields for kinetic and energy based weapons. The amour is a crystalline unobtainium matrix structure that can shrug off a 4 gigatons nuclear strike. The only known vessels that can rival federation alliance vessels are extra dimensional beings. The state of cold war exist between the Sura and the federation alliance.
2530
Humanity explore the Orus galaxy contacting worlds with rudimentary space flight and capacity to generate nuclear fusion power source. Most human worlds become aware of the Orus plans to harvest them for their youth serum. This leads to worlds accelerating in development and advancement technological. The Orus are investigated and it is found that the society is that of the monarch with twelve ruling houses and one royal family that controls the twelve houses. The ruling family is the Abraxis royal monarch the twelve noble families are the Idara, Sura, Elora, Lumara, Therosis,Brasis, Masis, Fengosis, Antota, Zamita, Weeta and Carata. These twelve families rule the galaxy of Orus with an iron grip. Only the Abraxis royal family has extra galactic holdings a thing they forbade the other families from establishing. The home world of the Orus is Orus a planet that is similar to Earth differing only in gravity as Orus is 1,2 Earth gravity a standard in this galaxy as most human inhabitated planets range from 0,9 to 1,2 Earth's gravity.
2533
The royal family is responsible for guiding all of mankind as it holds exclusive right to set boundaries between the other noble families.
