* RapidFTLProliferation: Small scale version with the Islands subsector in the Great Rift. The lost colonies in the subsector were aware of each other but unable to reach one another without jump drive for centuries before an Imperial warship misjumped to Serendip Belt and they reverse-engineered its drive. When the IISS followed up they found Serendip attempting to become a regional hegemony and decided to give jump drive to the other planets in the Islands, creating a paranoid SpaceColdWar instead.

General clarification on work content


** The Second Civil War, known as the Rebellion, took place after the Emperor Strephon and his heir the Grand Princess Iphegenia were all assassinated by one of his own archdukes, Dulinor. Lucan, the next in line to the throne, was strongly suspected of having killed his own slightly older twin brother Varian so that he could take the throne himself, and quickly proved to be TheCaligula. With no clear choice for Emperor the Imperium descended into warfare and factionalism. The introduction of the Virus super-weapon proved to be the final nail in the coffin. The death toll was in the ''trillions'', and at least several centuries passed before civilization would recover and a new Imperium could be restored. At least, we assume there was eventually a Fourth Imperium. The official game line has never continued the MetaPlot after the ''New Era'' setting.
