Timeline

An organization known as the Ttaidaytadt amassed power and seized control of the third galaxy. They destroyed the massive fold space gates that allowed easy access to the galaxy and took control of the local governments, eliminating any Confederation influence.

Their reign would have continued, but an internal conflict with the leaders of the group destroyed the Ttaidaytadt. The third galaxy, without a force to bind it together, fragmented into thousands of tiny kingdoms and governments.

Radicals within the Confederation surfaced. They developed the Batori and used them to prove to the Confederation that it had become too large and unwieldy. The Radicals also developed the cloaking device and used it to get their Batori in many sensitive areas. They proved that a single Batori could disable an immense cruiser just by attacking the personnel within. The war ended and it is not known if the Confederation won or the Radicals just stopped attacking.

A huge Grulb Zoid fleet invades Confederation held areas of the first galaxy. The Zoid navy outmatches the Confederation ships in both size and ability. The Confederation would have been beaten if not for the advancement of their infant fold space technology into the nova bomb.

The expanding Confederation ran into a large force of Snaglors and war ensued. The Snaglors were an exploratory force from their empire and were driven off.

Darkken Droids attack the Human home world of Earth.  Most of the Humans and all of the Darkken Droids are killed in a major nuclear weapon exchange that ended the war.

Human and Gra-Luruk exploration ships meet while both are staking a claim to a potential colony planet.  A battle ensues where the Human's are crushed (literally).  Over the next 150 years the Humans and Gra-Luruks war on each other.  The battles are sparse and fierce, with neither side ever reaching the others home planet.  Both sides were forced to develope the components necessary for space battle and while the 'Luruks had the advantage in ground combat, the Humans took a lead in the technology of space combat.   Eventually, the fighting slowed and a truce was declared.

Using the technology gleened from the Kronians, Humans started to build induction gates for superluminal travel.  A number of their bases were in systems with habital planets and these were the systems that gained the new induction gates.  Once completed, colony ships from Earth traveled the vast distances and Humans established colonies on a number of planets.

About a year after Humans and Chorks met for the first time, the Chorks met their second alien species.  A very fast, well made ship landed near a newly established Chork base and the crew of about twenty Kronians introduced themselves.  Over the next few months, as the linguists learned to translate each others languages, it was learned that the Kronians posseded a technology that allowed travel at the speed of light.  The Kronians traded this technology to the Chorks and Humans in exchange for many scientific advancements the Kronians had not yet developed.  The scientific knowledge of the Kronian race at the time seemed to be largely focused on space travel and lacked many of the technologies the Chorks and Humans took for granted.

Once the Human and Chork scientists examined the Kronian technology, they found they could increase the speed of their ships to beyond light speed by building massive induction gates.  These gates would accellerate the ships passing through them to superluminal speed.

On the Human's tenth interstellar voyage, they detected a signal coming from the second planet in the system they were approaching.  During the remaining five months of their voyage, they tried to decipher the signal but could not.  Nevertheless, they were convinced the signal came from an intelligence that was not Human.

On the Chorks 23rd base outside their home system of Yaggem, it was a small boy stargazing through a telescope that noticed the approaching ship first.   Once the remaining population of the Chork's domed base realized the ship was not one of their own, they prepared for its arrival.  Most of the population evacuated to an orbiting ship which then hid behind one of the planets two moons.  The military and scientist contingents of the base plus a few diplomats remained on the planet to await the arrival of the alien ship.

When the Humans arrived in their ship, the CS Aquinas, they orbited the planet for a number of days studying the two large domes on the surface.   They then sent a lander to the planet surface which landed a half a kilometre from the Chork base.  The Chorks sent a land vehicle to meet them and in the year 2460, Humans and Chorks made first contact.

In the Human year of 2250, the Humans sent forth their first manned expedition out of their solar system.  A twenty year trip took them to one of their closest neighbours - Sirius.  The crew of thirty-five arrived in 2271 and established a base on one of the moons orbiting the third gas giant of the system.  This successful interstellar journey prompted additional trips and over the next two centuries, Humans visited and established bases in eight other systems.
