Discovery of [[warp]] drives accelerates the colonisation process and the early independent or corporate colonies become federated to [[Terra]]. The first alien races are encountered. The development of the [[Navigator]] gene allows human pilots to make longer and faster 'jumps'None yet''through warp space than was previously thought possible. The great Navigator families, initially controlled by industrial and trading cartels, become a power base in their own right. Humanity continues to explore and colonise the galaxy. Contacts are established with the [[Eldar]] and other alien races. A golden age of scientific achievement begins. Perfection of the [[Standard Template Construct]] (STC) system now permits an almost explosive expansion to the stars.|Space Marine by Ian Watson|}
