In response to the Titan Atrocities, Theta Corporation attempts to release the Nexus mind onto the Solar Web, Solar Firewalls resist the initial attack.
Gradual degradation of the solar networks through persistent attacks, causes the Nexus mind to eventually break through and expand onto Earth web networks.
New Eden Alliance severs its connection to the Solar Web.
Pure Earth Initiative declares war on Theta Corporation.
The Nexus mind discovers the process of manipulating spacetime paving the way for a working prototype of the Spacetime Distortion Drive.

2335 : Pure Earth Initiative agree to a ceasefire creating a temporary truce across the solar system from a war that has lasted 30 years.
2345 : Faction leaders convene the first Solar Counsel in the Neutral planetary system Jupiter, to discuss the creation of lasting memorial to remember the millions of souls who died during the 30 year war. The Singularity Trials is Born.
2350 : All factions develop and evolve Space time Distortion technology , their aims are to explore the Milky-way galaxy , expand their influence, amass resources and exert their dominance in the fragile balance of power in Sol System.
