Thirty years since the Fracture

The events that shaped the sector, from the day the machines went quiet to the day you leave port.

  1. 2369

    The Fracture

    Navigation and communication infrastructure fails across human space, then recovers without explanation. Hundreds of ships are lost.

  2. 2370 – 2372

    The Regulation Years

    Earth Gov imposes sweeping controls on navigation, certification and independent shipping.

  3. 2372 – 2378

    The Quiet Exodus

    Three groups leave the old core and found the homeworlds of today's settled reaches.

  4. 2378

    The Terran Expedition

    Earth Gov sends a peacekeeping expedition outward. It becomes the Terrans.

  5. 2381 – 2386

    The Debt Years

    Terran peacekeepers enforce corporate contracts on the frontier. Piracy begins here.

  6. 2387

    The Corrigan Interdiction

    Terrans blockade a Beta Union system over unpaid Constellation salvage claims. Nine days, nothing achieved.

  7. 2388 – 2399

    The Settlement

    No general conflict. Piracy escalates and borders harden.

  8. 2399

    A Nomad departs

    You sink every last credit into a ship and set a course.

What happens next is yours

The history is written. The rest of 2399 isn't.
