Here's the thread where we can fill in details pertaining to the Old Empire and other general pieces of fluff concerning the universe, mostly concerning dates and shit. Anyone with a nice fancy modcock (which I think is everyone in here besides me, but I can edit this too so nya) can edit in changes or additions as this builds up. A lot of these details will only be GM-available on the start of the game - the details will be lost to many factions, so they'll have to find out for themselves. Okay? Here we go!
quick note: Dates are (for now) measured in PLC and ALC (Pre-lane collapse and After-lane collapse, the date upon which lane travel becomes completely impossible.)
