Changes

|The development of the ''navigator gene'' allows human pilots called [[Navigator]]s to make longer and faster 'jumps' through the [[Warp]] than was previously thought possible. The great Navigator families, initially controlled by industrial and trading cartels, gradually become power bases in their own right. [[Human]]ity continues to explore and colonise the galaxy, while the human worlds politically unite and a golden age of scientific achievement begins. Non-aggression pacts are signed between humanity and dozen of alien races. Perfection of the [[Standard Template Construct]] (STC) system allows an almost explosive Human expansion to the stars. This '''Golden Age of Mankind''' continues until [[M25]].
