This board contains reconstructed histories of the pre-Exis era, spanning humanity’s final centuries confined to Earth and Sol. Within, you will find accounts — some factual, some fragmented, some mythologized — of the political upheavals, scientific revolutions, cultural renaissances, and silent disasters that shaped our species long before the stars knew our name.
All participants are invited to contribute to the living archive, giving voice to the lost generations whose hopes and fears would, unknowingly, decide the fate of humankind.
Before the Stars
Sun, Apr 27th 2025 03:44
"Long before the First Contact, before the opening of the Black, humanity lived and warred and dreamed beneath a single pale sun. These records, pieced together from the surviving archives of Old Earth, form the foundation of all that followed. Here lie the echoes of a people who, in their solitude, built the road to the stars — stone by stone, dream by dream." — Archivist-General Ilyan Vorr, The Human Epochs, Vol. I

Era I: A Pale Blue Dot (2027-2051)
Fri, May 2nd 2025 12:23
Humanity stirs from its long slumber. Commerce and ambition stretch beyond national borders, pushing upward into orbit and outward toward the waiting silence of Sol. Earth’s sphere of influence, once the domain of dreamers and governments alone, becomes a contested ground — commercialized, militarized, and filled with new promises and dangers.
Here begin the first uncertain steps toward a future where the stars themselves will be within reach — and where the choices made now will echo across centuries to come.
Era II: Sol Expansion (2051-2098)
Thu, May 15th 2025 05:39
Spanning the latter half of the 21st century, the Sol Expansion era marks a decisive pivot in human civilization: from a world-bound species reaching into orbit, to a system-spanning presence with the beginnings of permanent infrastructure beyond Earth.
Following the foundational decades of orbital consolidation and scientific exploration, this period is defined by the pragmatic exploitation of extraterrestrial environments. National programs, corporate syndicates, and emerging supranational blocs shift their attention toward resource acquisition, strategic positioning, and long-term habitation across multiple celestial bodies.
No single breakthrough defines this era. Instead, it unfolds through a patchwork of incremental advances and regional initiatives, all contributing to the steady normalization of human activity in space. Orbital shipyards, lunar smelters, Martian laboratories, and autonomous relay platforms become not marvels, but assets — embedded in economic forecasts and political doctrine.
