Various strange artifacts are uncovered as a result, including remains of the ancient Valian Empire. Also discovered is the planet of Siveril, a lush and mysterious world almost exclusively dominated by plants.

3032

* A Krin tyrant named Tyrannis rises to power. He utilizes the strange energy present in the Nexus to power his goals, allowing him to manifest his thoughts in the physical realm and create a vast fleet of warships.

Tyrannis' reign of terror eventually ends at the edge of a blade wielded by a dying General Seibris Maduven.

## Nexite Boom and Lylatian Renaissance

3033 thru January, 3039

* Energy begins leaking from the Nexus thanks to the effects of Tyrannis' manipulations, taking the form of deposits of a transmutational mineral known as nexite. This leads to an interstellar gold rush as countless factions vie for control of mining sites, with special focus on the Glade system. In January of 3039, the boundary between reality and the Nexus is stabilized as an act of vengeance by Xal'Vau warlord Vallos. All nexite is rendered inert, leading to a galaxy-wide economic recession and the financial collapse of the United Planets Armada.

June, 3037

* After a brief third resurgence, the Ra-Shi are defeated on their homeworld. Their original programming is restored, prompting them to restore all that they destroyed over the past millennium, including whole planets and people. The galactic population surges 10-fold.

3036 thru 3038

* Corneria becomes a major galactic trading hub. In 3038, a version of Andross from the Star Fox Zero universe uses a matter digitization device to convert the Lylat system into data (Aug). It is eventually liberated and reverted back to realspace, and Andross is banished to his home universe. Corneria recovers and continues forward as an economic powerhouse.

*See main article: Animas Era*

* The Animas Empire lays claim to the Lylat system and begins its search for the remaining descendants of Fox McCloud, and it is revealed they were the ones who had assassinated him nearly 130 years earlier.
* The combined efforts of Lylat and the Ursian Empire lead to the death of the Animas emperor (Feb).
* Animas mounts a resurgence in April, with Jareth as the new emperor and featuring a new ally, the ravenous Micaya ratfolk.
* It is later discovered that the Micaya are being controlled by psionic augments, and a device to short them out is invented by Dire Wolf's Kroggnar Throkworg (May).
* Lylatian forces use a reverse-engineered Ursian bassnium drive to precision-jump into a planet-sized Animas space station, and Emperor Jareth is killed after being run over and blown up by Bartholomew Phoenix in a Landmaster tank. The Animas Empire begns to dissolve as a political entity (June).
* Xal'vau warlord Vallos begins siphoning energy from Lylat with the Sun Eater Platform and prevents interference with FTL inhibitors (July).
* After two weeks, 60% of Lylat's power is drained. Dire Wolf eventually destroys the inhibitors, and preparations begin for a massive assault on Vallos.
* Lylatian forces incapacitate Sun Eater Platform, and General Jaxer Stareeds rams the Corneria's Pride III into the platform to push it into Lylat. Ursian forces assist with solar stabilizer machines to prevent issues as Lylat slowly reabsorbs its lost energy (Aug).
