−	The Human Colonials entered Chart 2 around 830KD from the north of the Tezaeded system from hundreds of light years away. They settled Tezaeded and Onatbeza. They already had some hundred or so colonies outside the Eight (in an area much larger than that of the Eight). Around 920KD the system linking Tezaeded to Colonial Space drifted outside the 7LY limit, cutting off the Colonials in the Eight from their homeworld and their other colonies.
−
−	Around 930KD researchers in Inera discovered the Octagon and managed to send a probe around it in 1020KD. Crewed scouts followed soon after from both Tionisla and Inera.
−
−	Co-operation between species enabled settlement of worlds uninhabitable by the galaxial residents but settleable by other species. In 1117KD the Felines and Insects declared war on each other leading to tens of millions of deaths with the bombardment of the Ataneris colony. The conflict escalated until 1118KD when the frogs and the birds imposed a blockade and prevented the Felines crossing Chart 6 to get rescue Ataneris. They simultaneously forced the attacking insect armada to retreat.
−
−	The United Species Treaty was signed in 1134KD establishing the joint Interspecies Assembly. A Little later, the Colonials in Gerebeid declared independence from the Colonial government, protesting at the waste of resources in trying to reconnect with the Colonial homeworld, and changed its species description to humanoid. It was not until 1389KD that they and numerous others were given representation on the Assembly.
−
−	One of the conditions of the Treaty was the establishment of joint colonies to encourage co-operation, and hundreds were founded between then and the end of the Interspecies Assembly. It was also at this time the modern Calendar was agreed using the Colonial standard day as the “Day”, and 0KD agreed as its start.

 The reason they are colloquially known as Galaxies is that when the first wormhole was discovered, the chappie that went through reported back that all the constellations and worlds were different. His first hypothesis was that the wormhole led to another galaxy, and so they were labelled Galaxies. It would be another hundred or so years until anyone worked out that these areas were actually star clusters in the same galaxy, but by then the name had kind of stuck.

 – Since GalCop as a political entity no longer exists, both Federation and Empire lift the exile on GalCop worlds.  A fine of 75,000 credits remains to be paid by any native of the 11 ‘Old Worlds’ centred on Lave who wishes to dock at a spaceport in either organisation.  These eleven systems maintain tight relations, forming an unofficial trade and protection alliance – much like the original alliance that grew into GalCop.
