STORY : EXPANSION
 
Expansion Period
 
After the year 3000 various governments raced to the stars as the hyperspace drive was developed. Most research and development funds were diverted into this expansion scheme to quickly expand the area of control thus power for most of these governments. All this due to a Terran law stating the first person to claim a planet thus becomes the rightful owner.
 
Countless number of colony ships were quickly constructed and sent to charted and uncharted space regions to quickly claim uninhabited planets. To better navigate and to map the galaxy, various areas of space are mapped into various sectors.
 
There were countless weaker alien species that were eliminated and these cases not ever reported. The Terran species have resorted to stealing other alien home worlds for their own purpose. Luckily for the Terrans most of the alien species found at this given time proved to be of no threat to their superior technology.
 
For a while as there is a lot of free room to colonize and to claim, the number of wars seemed to have lowered to almost none. The United World council was formed to replace the United Nation council. This council contains all the Terran governments in the solar system of the Terran home world.
 
This peaceful expansion period came to an end when the United World council announced a stop to such rapid colonization. There were complaints that several higher technological alien species had been encountered. The main reason may be due to the United World council not having the manpower to govern all its' small and far away colonies.
 
It is just a matter of time before these colonies declare independence from the United World council. This marks the end of the expansion period and on to the Unification War era.
