|The [[Dark Age of Technology]] begins. Humanity begins to colonise the nearby star systems using conventional sub-light spacecraft. The new colonies must rely on local resources, and be completely self-sufficient in all vital areas in order to survive. Ten generations are needed to travel between the more distant of the new colonies and Terra. This continues until [[M18]].
