The 1st Dominium
2038 AD: Star flight first achieved by Sol System scientists (Old
1st Dominium records are coded by Earth date). The systems of
Barnard, Centauri, and Sirius located in Sol Sector were explored
by starships of Earth's world government, the Federation of States
(FOS). It is believed that in 2038, the FOS included a number
of nations located on Earth's moon, on Sol IV, and in the system's
asteroid field.
2043 AD: Colonization of planets in the three originally explored
systems is accomplished.
2047 AD: Colonization of planets Altair System and Monoc System
are begun.
2087 AD: Colony on Sirius II achieves self-sufficiency.
2102 AD: Sirius, Monoc, and Barnard declare independence from
FOS. The resulting conflict cripples Earth's ability to make war
and the three victorious systems found the 1st Dominium, building
an orbital city/capitol in orbit around Sirius III.
2106 AD: The 1st Dominium is consolidated when the other colonized
systems swear allegiance to the new government.
2109 AD: A trade embargo against Sol System cripples the system's
economy and forces the Federation of States to join the 1st Dominium.
2109 AD: Ships of the 1st Dominium deep space patrol, the Black
Watch, have explored all the systems within Sol Sector and pushed
spinward into Alpha and Bravo sectors. Corporations anxious to
take advantage of the new territory are not far behind. A chain
of trading cities soon links Bravo Sector with the capitol.
2190 AD: The Black Watch has opened up Observer, Wanderlust, and
Endeavor Sectors as well as a number of sectors to rimward, coreward,
and antispinward of Sol Sector. Black Watch officers and crew
have named or renamed most of the stars and planets charted.
2192 AD: The 1st Dominium, staggered by the vast acquisitions,
begins an attempt to consolidate its control. Funding for exploration
is cut back sharply and the outermost bases are ordered abandoned.
A moratorium on new city construction is imposed. Black Watch
ships returning to central 1st Dominium cities are decommissioned
and turned into insystem defense ships to help consolidate the
government's military hold on its possessions. Many Black Watch
commanders refuse to return to central cities after word of the
policy gets out. Contact with several outposts is lost.
2212 AD: The 1st Dominium has consolidated its gains and limited
expansion into the Endeavor Sector is approved under contracts
to several corporations. Black Watch ships working out of secret
bases in Viking Sector begin to prey on the increasing merchant
traffic which is entering the area through Bravo Sector. Several
cities are established in Endeavor Sector during this period.
2221 AD: Contact with a number of cities in Endeavor Sector is
lost, presumably due to assault and occupation by the Black Watch.
2227 AD: The city of Hampton Keep in Han System falls to the Black
Watch after a lengthy siege. Many refugees from the city arrive
at the city of Argon III in Ribal System.
2228 AD: The CS Bold Endeavor departs on its trek spinward into
Endeavor Sector. 1st Dominium policy makers know little about
conditions in the sector other than what can be gained from the
refugees from Hampton Keep. The Bold Endeavor's mission is to
construct a new city/base from which the authorities can regain
their hold on the sector.
2229 AD: Construction begins on the last 1st Dominium city to
be built: Marathon Reach.
2230 AD: A genetically engineered micro-organism is accidentally
released and is carried throughout the 1st Dominium by freighters
serving the cities. The plague spreads rapidly at the slightest
contact through the life support systems of all but Marathon Reach.
The 1st Dominium is destroyed in a matter of months.
2232 AD: The small outpost which is Marathon Reach struggles to
survive with the limited equipment available to it. Starhaven
is fully explored and a decision is reached to move to the planet
surface. Techs begin dismantling much of the equipment at the
city for transport to the surface.
2240 AD: The abandonment of Marathon Reach is completed and the
last survivors are shuttled to the surface of Starhaven. The Bold
Endeavor is cannibalized and is a great asset in establishing
a technological base on the surface.
2341 AD: Marathon Reach is reoccupied and the 2nd Dominium is
established (Endeavor date: 01-000).
