View source for Human Colonial Expansion Era

The '''Human Colonial Expansion Era''' (2380-2530) was a period marked by rapid discovery of [[jump point]]s and [[system|planetary system]]s and outward expansion from the [[Human]] home system [[Sol system|Sol]]. Historians believe that a drop in the price of spacecraft made exploration vessels more freely available to civilians, which led to an upward spike in the discovery of jump points. In [[2380]], the formation of the first pan-Human government, the [[United Nations of Earth]], allowed mass proliferation of resources formerly available to a few. [[Bremen system|Bremen]] and [[Oretani system|Oretani]] were among the many systems discovered during this time. The rate of colonization fell after Humans made [[Xi'an Cold War|first contact]] with the [[Xi'an]] in [[2530]].<ref name="galactapedia">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0dQ4BjlQQm-human-colonial-expansion-era|text=Galactopedia: Human Colonial Expansion Era}}</ref>
