The history of humanity in XahVerse is a long, convoluted process of emergence, exploration, and endless conflict. Its earliest days are a confused muddle, with little known about humanity's initial expansion into the wider galaxy. What is known that as humanity was at its peak as an interstellar civilisation, the Amnesiac Virus struck computer networks, with humanity almost dying out entirely in the chaotic aftermath. It took centuries for civilisation to recover - advanced computer systems could not be trusted, which hampered progress, but eventually something resembling order began to re-emerge across the expanse of space. In these confused, dark days came the Federation of Xah, an autocratic totalitarian regime dedicated to its philosophy of The Sevenfold Path. It swept through Known Space, with resistance only arising with the formation of the Northup Alliance. The two factions settled into a protracted cold war, both rapidly expanding outwards, claiming as many systems as they can. Even now, new systems are being discovered, new colonies are established, and the future of humanity is in the balance.
