0001PA: 

• The Venderizi, a highly technologically advanced species thriving under a unique belief in shared governance, established the Intergalactic Trade Federation. Their society was rooted in the firm belief that interstellar cooperation and trade, rather than conquest and conflict, were the true paths to peace and prosperity. With this guiding principle, the Venderizi envisioned a new, interconnected Federation Spaceway.

0065PA: 

• The Venderizi invested their considerable resources and expertise into creating a robust network of interstellar trade systems. They built the essential infrastructure needed to support the expanding Intergalactic Trade Federation. Drawing on their mastery of interstellar navigation and engineering, they designed a reliable and efficient trade network that would become the backbone of their vision.

0999PA: 

• The Intergalactic Council of One was formed to serve as the governing body of the Intergalactic Trade Federation. It was tasked with the monumental responsibility of overseeing and regulating trade across 58 million star systems and 19 million colonies. The primary aims of the Intergalactic Council of One were to foster alliances between disparate species, mediate conflicts that arose from trade disputes, and enforce a set of universal trade laws that would apply to everyone within the Federation Spaceway.

1110PA: 

• The responsibilities of the Intergalactic Council of One were expanded and organized into three distinct branches to better manage the growing complexity of the trade network. 

• The Logistics & Transport Authority was created to ensure the safety, efficiency, and ecological balance of the entire network. 

• The Arbitration Council was established to mediate trade disputes between systems, corporations, and individual trading partners, ensuring fair and just resolutions. 

• The Cultural Exchange Division was formed to promote cultural exchanges and academic research, with the goal of strengthening interspecies relations and fostering a sense of shared community.

1170PA: 

• Construction began on the Galactic Trade Web, an advanced and ambitious network of trade routes, communication hubs, and transport relays designed to connect millions of systems across the Federation Spaceway. Utilizing a revolutionary system of Slipstream Gateways Beacons, this Galactic Trade Web allowed for rapid and efficient transit across vast cosmic distances to bring distant planets closer together.

1200PA: 

• The tireless efforts of the Intergalactic Trade Federation began to bear fruit, bringing an unprecedented era of economic growth and prosperity to countless star systems. With the establishment of new trade routes, the integration of new systems, and the development of new technologies, planets flourished under the benefits of increased trade and collaboration. The influence of the Intergalactic Trade Federation extended to new star systems, fostering a level of interstellar economic unity that had never before been seen.

1350PA: 

• The influence of the Intergalactic Trade Federation extended far beyond simple economics. By facilitating trade and interaction across countless different species, the Intergalactic Trade Federation sparked a renaissance of technological and cultural exchange. Advanced technologies from the star systems found their way to remote colonies, revolutionizing their infrastructure, healthcare, and energy production. Similarly, the diverse cultures of distant worlds enriched the Federation Spaceway’s artistic and philosophical landscape.

2500PA: 

• Some factions within the federation began to claim that the Venderizi exercised a disproportionate amount of control, shaping policies to favor their own interests. To address these growing concerns, the Intergalactic Council of One introduced a series of reforms designed to democratize its decision making processes, giving more influence to underrepresented systems and colonies. These reforms included the creation of the High Tribune Council, a new body of elected representatives from diverse regions tasked with overseeing the Intergalactic Council of One and ensuring transparency in all its dealings. Despite these internal challenges, the Intergalactic Trade Federation continued to grow, expanding its reach and influence across new star systems. As the Intergalactic Trade Federation evolved, it remained committed to its founding principles of peace, prosperity, and unity, aiming to bridge the divides of a vast and diverse Federation Spaceway.

2789PA: 

• The Intergalactic Trade Federation and the Intergalactic Council of One began to enter a new era as rumored corruption started to taint their once-noble mission of galactic unity and prosperity. By this time, the Intergalactic Council of One had grown to oversee not only trade but also governance, wealth distribution, and resource management across its vast territory of now 63 million systems and 32 million colonies. The original Venderizi vision of peaceful trade had started to be replaced by increasingly aggressive expansionist policies and a pervasive culture of capital gains among the politicians of the Intergalactic Council of One.

2800PA: 

• A powerful alliance within the Intergalactic Council of One, led by seven unnamed influential families, began to exploit the federation’s immense wealth and resources to amass power for themselves. These families wielded their considerable political influence to pass legislation that granted them expansionary privileges, allowing members of the Intergalactic Council of One to stabilize and develop underutilized star systems. Under the guise of fostering growth and prosperity, these laws permitted them to seize resource rich planets and wealthy colonies by force, gradually transforming positions within the Intergalactic Council of One into a direct path to galactic control.

2804PA: 

• New policies passed by the Intergalactic Council of One were initially designed to provide financial support to underdeveloped star systems through the purchasing of a controlling interest in their local governments. Instead, the policy quickly evolved into a means of hostile acquisition. Intergalactic Council of One politicians would offer struggling planetary governments financial assistance, only to leverage the resulting debts to seize total control. Once in possession of a planet, they would privatize its resources, dismantle its local governments, and install their own loyalists to oversee their new holdings.

2858PA: 

• The Seven Families at the center of this web of corruption became the de facto rulers of vast swathes of the Federation Spaceway. They amassed enormous fleets, powerful weapons, and large private armies, anticipating a future where the Intergalactic Council of One itself would become their personal tool to claim dominion over entire star clusters. Soon, these powerful politicians began to operate independently of the Intergalactic Trade Federation’s original mission, shaping the Federation Spaceway to their own benefit.

3117PA: 

• The Intergalactic Council of One and Intergalactic Trade Federation have become hollow shells of their former selves. The corruption grew so widespread that all sectors of the Intergalactic Trade Federation, from trade regulation and resource management to the vital Slipstream Gateway networks, were now controlled by the Seven Families. They exploited these systems to funnel resources, transport their private armies, and manipulate trade routes in favor of their own factions. Discontented colonies and smaller systems began to rise up in protest, denouncing the Intergalactic Council of One’s rampant corruption and demanding accountability. The Intergalactic Council of One, desperate to maintain its slipping grip on control, responded with brutal force, deploying the families’ personal fleets to restore order.

3118PA: 

• Now seen as nothing more than the enforcers of tyranny, the Intergalactic Council of One and the Intergalactic Trade Federation completely collapsed. Seeing a golden opportunity to expand their own dominion, the Seven Families abandoned the Intergalactic Council of One and publicly declared their independence from one another, with each faction claiming exclusive rights to a specific galactic region. The once mighty Intergalactic Trade Federation was destroyed, and the Federation Spaceway descended into chaos as trade routes collapsed, economies faltered, and long standing alliances disintegrated.

3135PA: 

• With the Intergalactic Council of One and the Intergalactic Trade Federation dismantled, the Federation Spaceway was divided between the powerful war fleets of the Seven Families. Each family now controlled a massive army of mercenaries, automated battle platforms, and private warships. These families plunged the Federation Spaceway into a brutal and violent galaxywide civil war over territory, resources, and power. Each family was relentless in its pursuit of dominance, fighting for control over vital trade routes, planetary resources, and strategic locations within the Federation Spaceway. The conflicts that erupted devastated entire star systems, leaving a long trail of ruin as each faction sought to consolidate its power.

3795PA: 

• The War of Seven Strifes reshaped the Federation Spaceway in catastrophic ways. Entire planets were depopulated, either by forced evacuations or complete destruction in devastating orbital bombardments. The trade networks, once efficiently managed by the Intergalactic Trade Federation’s Slipstream Gateway system, were now torn apart as each faction seized control of different gateway networks for their own use. The free flow of goods and services that had once connected billions of planets slowed to a mere trickle, leading to widespread economic collapse and mass starvation in countless systems.

3825PA: 

• With any form of centralized governance completely gone, the Seven Families solidified their rule over their respective regions. They created a power structure where loyal followers were in charge of planets. These followers made sure that a steady flow of resources flowed back to their  rulers.

4125PA: 

• Without the oversight of the Intergalactic Trade Federation, the vital Slipstream Gateway system began to falter. The lack of coordinated maintenance led to frequent failures, isolating entire regions of the Federation Spaceway. The galaxy became increasingly fragmented as communication and trade routes continued to collapse, plunging many planets into a new dark age.

4542PA: 

• The vacuum of centralized authority left by the collapsed Intergalactic Trade Federation gave rise to powerful new pirate fleets and independent factions. These opportunistic groups preyed upon the now weakened trade routes and exploited the widespread disarray among the Seven Families. In the shadows of the warlords' thrones, rebel movements began to stir on oppressed planets, their species seeking to overthrow their overlords and restore some semblance of the autonomy they had long since lost.

4688PA: 

• A rare and catastrophic event forever altered the fate of the Myojin Swarm. Due to the genetic instability that had plagued their hive for eons, a second Myojin Empress was born. This new Myojin Empress, with her own brood and ambitions, immediately fractured the Myojin hivemind that had driven the Myojin's expansion across the Federation Spaceway. The Myojin Swarm, once an unstoppable force of consumption and growth, splintered into two warring castes. Each caste, led by its respective Myojin Empress, followed her with inherited loyalty, plunging the Myojin into another devastating civil war that spanned the entire Federation Spaceway. 

4704PA: 

• The Myojin Civil War raged on as each caste sought to completely annihilate the other. The devastation reached its peak when both sides inexplicably converged in the Luzupha System, drawn to the planet Sahlolnu and its mysterious glowing red moon. The moon emanated an otherworldly allure, its surface humming with a strange energy that for some unknown reason resonated deeply within the Myojin species. As if compelled by an unseen force, the warring castes ceased their hostilities, their focus entirely consumed by the moon’s mysterious pull. Swarms of Myojin descended upon its surface, but their behavior grew increasingly bizarre. Some Myojin devoured the crimson soil, only to disintegrate into clouds of red ash. Others circled the moon endlessly, flying until they exhausted themselves to death.

• The two Myojin Empresses, sensing the moon’s immense power, made their way to its surface, each determined to uncover its secrets for herself. The younger, more impulsive Myojin Empress arrived first, consuming the strange soil with a reckless hunger. Her body began to glow a fiery red, the light intensifying until she collapsed into a swirling cloud of crimson ash.

• The elder Myojin Empress, more measured and cautious in her approach to absorb the moon’s essence more carefully. Upon discovering the ashes of her fallen rival, she consumed them instead of the red soil itself, triggering an extraordinary transformation. Her form began to radiate a serene, purple light, and a fundamental change swept through her consciousness. For the first time, her insatiable hunger, the defining trait of the Myojin species, completely subsided. She experienced a clarity of thought and a sense of purpose that went far beyond mindless consumption. This transformation rippled through the entire Myojin hivemind. The surviving Myojin ceased their hostilities and gathered around their transformed Myojin Empress. The hive’s collective mind shifted, its driving force evolving from pure hunger to a new focus on sustainability. Thus, the Myojin Swarm was reborn as the Myojin Colony, a unified collective dedicated to a new path of growth and coexistence.

4705PA: 

• The newly formed Myojin Colony departed the red moon, leaving its crimson glow behind them. They journeyed to the planet Mekuji in the Joradd System, where they landed their colossal Brood Spire, transforming it into both their new home base and the central palace for the reborn Myojin Empress. From this new foundation, the Myojin Colony flourished, establishing a society that balanced their intrinsic hive intelligence with a newfound commitment to sustainable growth.

4800PA: 

• The Dotarvayne Coven, seeking to solidify its control over its vast territories, instituted a brutal inquisition to root out all forms of dissent and rebellion. Entire populations were subjected to forced indoctrination, with planetary purges used to quell any hint of resistance. Billions were enslaved or eradicated under the merciless rule of the Dotarvayne Coven.

5000PA: 

• The Boontaria Clan, seeking to regain its lost power and influence, unleashed an experimental and highly unstable weapon in an attempt to annihilate the fleets of their rivals. During a weapons test, the device malfunctioned and destabilized the core of a star system, creating a massive supernova that obliterated dozens of inhabited planets and extinguished trillions of lives in an instant.

6000PA: 

• The powerful Kemplorion Family fractured into several competing factions after a series of bitter internal disputes over succession. This schism destabilized its territories, leading to widespread civil wars and numerous rebellions on the planets under their control. The other families attempted to capitalize on the chaos, but their efforts were largely thwarted by Sybin the Eternal Overseer, their own overstretched resources, and internal struggles.

6999PA: 

• As the final cycle of the Age of Pillara comes to a close, an age defined by the decay of old powers and a transformation that reshaped one of the Federation Spaceway's most feared species.

• Throughout this age, the once mighty Seven Families dwindled in power. Their far-reaching influence across the Federation Spaceway shortened with each passing cycle. The Families became more insular and isolated, focusing their remaining resources on consolidating the territories they still controlled rather than on expansion and conquest. The age of their dominance has begun to draw to a close, leaving a fractured and scarred Federation Spaceway in its wake.

• The Age of Pillara now concludes. The old powers are diminished, a great destructive force has been unexpectedly reshaped, and the Federation Spaceway bears the scars of a long, trying period.

The next age would be known as the Age of Finara.
