The scout probe Explorer 422 discovers a so-called second Earth in the Tau Ceti system, 11.9 light years away. The life-supporting planet is named Sabiador.

2287 (EXON 142)
The third council of Triloban Alta ratifies the Cybon treaties. They open the way for the creation of the Tyi-protectors, an army of cybernetically manipulated Sapiens. The trigger for this project is the increasing fear of a retaliatory attack by the Genides.

2302 (EXON 157)
Global persecution delirium. Beginning of the construction of Herons Belt, a gigantic defensive ring in Sabiador’s orbit that is supposed to encompass the whole planet and protect it from supposed Genide attacks.

2338 (EXON 193)
Even eighty years after their violent banishment from Sabiador, there is still no military revenge by the Genides against their creators. The first doubts about the use of the Tyi-protectors are voiced.

2401 (EXON 256)
The hybrid Silpha Uranir is born. As the child of a noble Genide and a high-ranking Tyi officer, unlike other gene bastards she is not killed immediately after birth, but receives a limited right to live. To this day she officially is the only child resulting from the forbidden union of these two human species.

2406 (EXON 261)
After 171 years without contact, a weak radio signal from Earth reaches the colony Murna. The puzzling message is encrypted primitively and only contains the words: cavete restauratores (beware of the Restorers).

2415 (EXON 270)
Banishment of Silpha Uranir to the blood moon Tarras.

2416 (EXON271)
Inferiority edict from Atebathos. Sapiens are degraded to second class indivduals. A few months after this „silent revolution“, the fate of Sapiens as former leaders of the human species is sealed with the enactment of the Prometheus laws on the Genide worlds. Key positions on all colonies are only awarded to Genides or Tyi.

Sipha Uranir is declared a saint, which leads to hefty protests by the Jadd Baran as well as almost all colonial governments. One of the Genide’s spiritual leaders claims that Uranir perversely abused her limited right to live by founding a religious movement in an environment of physically and psychologically weak individuals. Despite hefty protests, the construction of the Uranir protection temple as Sancta Sedes of the Preservers starts on Tarras.

2464 (EXON 319)
Inauguration of the Uranir temple. The first supreme Preserver, Primus Crahl, declares the blood moon Tarras as a galactic belief protectorate despite insistent warnings from the other colonial worlds.

2470 (EXON 325)
Nadzaar III. takes over leadership of Geneera. Under his aegis, a team of leading scientists develops a biological warfare agent Somnia aurea (Golden Sleep). After the first model tests were successful, a battle ship released a swarm of missiles loaded with Somnia aurea onto Tarras. 1,800,000 inhabitants immediately lost their lives in the explosions, an additional 2,300,000 died in the following four weeks. The event goes into history as the largest democide of the second species wars.

2506 (EXON 361)
The church of the Preservers is responsible for a new scandal by baptizing the first artificial life form. Despite the criticism voiced especially by the Jadd Baran, the android 27B-6 receives the sacraments. According to its own wishes, it is now allowed to carry the name Brahms 276. As a result, the church of the Preservers is joined by an unexpectedly large number of AIs.

2526 (EXON 381)

As a reaction to the dramatically increasing Jadd Baran attacks, the android Händel 69 creates the Andronian Guard on the new colony world Nara.

2535 (EXON 390)
Sarius Todor Cardin is named Primus on Tarras and takes over the office of the supreme Preserver. His first act is the Gotha edict, which stigmatizes the Jadd Baran as „subversive organization“.
