Before and the invention of the or "," all human spaceborne activity took place in the as humanity remained a terrestrial and satellite civilization. With the faster-than-light capabilities of the Slipspace drive, humans colonized planets and constructed stellar habitats around other stars while trade expanded to accommodate the growing distances despite the longer transits. After contact and the suspension of hostilities with the alien by , interstellar commerce expanded and intersected between the civilizations reaching a scale greater than any other in human history.
