2215: Massive ship manufacturing corporations begin sprouting from the Neovox initiative.

2219: At this point, Neovox has become so much of a success that the G.E.F. has a supply and demand problem for materials, and thus, the G.E.F. launches their next initiative: "Galactic Station Array" an ambitious project to build space stations throughout the galaxy, but is not expected to be complete until the late 2300s to the early 2400s.

2325: Habitat worlds are successfully installed throughout the galaxy and are ready for use.

2328: A new race of alien enters the galaxy, this race resembles a blue feline sort of creature.

2334: An explosion occurs on a Habitat world, pirates are held responsible.
