COLONIZATION
Mining operations conducted on asteroid belt within Sol System. Humans undertake colonization and terraforming efforts on the other worlds in the Sol System, including Mars and Venus.

UNIFICATION
The Terran Confederation, a loose alliance of colonies, planets, and systems, each with their own autonomous government, is formed. Significantly military in nature, Confed is designed to provide economic support and a common defense between interstellar outposts of humankind. It replaces the WEC as the Sol System government, and becomes the mediator -- and sometimes enforcer -- in disagreements and conflicts.

JUMP DRIVE
Superluminal Flight / Akwende Drive (the Jump Drive) technology discovered, developed, and placed into use.

The first test of the Akwende Drive

The Haile Salassie, mounting the first Terran jump drive, makes the jump from Sol to Polaris.

The Haile Salassie returns from Polaris. Following this successful journey, exploration into areas previously believed unreachable begins.

THE GREAT EXPANSION
Humanity spreads out rapidly into interstellar space.
