2030s

The 2030s decade covers the period from 2030-2039.
During this decade, World War III continues to rage on Earth. The American flag is updated to have fifty-two stars.
Earth reaches a rating of "G" on the industrial scale with introductions such as the hovercar and a manned mission to Mars. Ares IV, despite its shortcomings, is crucial start in the planetary Human exploration. Charybdis follows, the third manned attempt to travel beyond the Sol system.
Outside Earth, Xindus is destroyed, an event which ends the Xindi Civil War. Scattered across the Delphic Expanse, the Xindi begin their Great Diaspora, aided by "the Guardians".

== Events ==
* The Xindi Civil War ends with the destruction of the Xindi homeworld, Xindus. The Xindi are scattered across the Delphic Expanse in what will someday be known as the Great Diaspora. ()
* The Sphere-Builders start to make appearances to the survivors of the Xindi Great Diaspora, providing great help to them, like showing them habitable new planets and how to get essential resources. Because of this aid – what will be discovered as manipulation over a century later – and not revealing that they were the actual builders of the spheres, they are known as "The Guardians" by the Xindi. ()
* Sometime in the 2030s, a novelist from a planet orbiting Alnitak in Orion's Belt writes a classic theme to the words, "Let me help." He recommends those words even over "I love you." ()
* The hovercar begins to be used by the general public on Earth. ()
