2900's C.E.

In response, the governments of Earth agreed to recognize the sovereignty of the new, planet-nation; the immense price (in time and material) of interstellar war did a lot to motive such a speedy, peaceful resolution. Colonization continued at a rapid pace, fed by the desire to explore and the need to get bodies off-planet. First contact with sentient, alien species occurred in 2900. Thankfully the Ausar turned out to be a friendly species, and rather than war, interstellar trade ensued. These aliens had already created warp-gates in order to connect their far-flung colonies, but they lacked means of instantly communicating over such vast distances. Technologies were exchanged, and together, the two friend species experienced a golden age of exploration.
