Expansion

The Expansion was an era of colonisation by humans when Earth was on the brink of a period of five thousand years of inhabitability. Though in the following millenia the Earth was forgotten and far from the trade routes, humanity thrived throughout its many colonies.

It was around this time that the first star-poineers reached Andromeda. Eventualy that whole galaxy became dominated by humans. Another particulary succesfull colony was GalSec, which in ten thousand years carved out an empire with bases throughout the Mutter's Spiral. (TV: The Sontaran Experiment) The time was marked by war between GalSec and the Wirrn. (AUDIO: Wirrn Dawn)


 * It is unknown exactly when the expansion occurred, though from The Ark in Space it can be assumed that it was after the 30th century, and was directly followed by a period of ten thousand years when Earth was out of the picture.
