History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Major Historical Events Timeline: 1116[edit]
These are some of the more important historical events that have affected this sector:
- -4678: Hivers invent the jump drive, thus becoming a Major Race.
- -4100: Hiver explorers discover Loza'tch and the Za'tachk civilization.
- -4050: An exploratory Hiver vessel arrives in the Ofilaq system and discovers the Gurvin.
- -3986: The Hivers are shocked to encounter the Ithklur, a race far more violent than any encountered previously.
- Circa -3800: Hiver scouts discover Krota. To manipulate the Krotan shoals into a more teachable species, the Hivers bombard Krota with planetoids, setting off severe tectonic and climatic shifts that force widespread change and adaptation upon the Krotan people.
- -3548: Eager to present a united front to acquire jump-2 drive from the Hivers, the Gurvin form the Gurvin Interstellar Democratic Republic and make an official request to join the nascent Hive Federation and be provided with jump-2. The Hivers declare the Gurvin an "adult" species and agree.
- Circa -2900: After a millennium of Manipulation, the Ithklur take their place as an important member of the Hiver interstellar community.
- Circa -2200: The Krotan reach TL-7, launching interplanetary flights. The Hivers make their first direct contact with Krota.
- -2029 to -2013: The Hiver-K'kree War threatens the Hiver community.
- -2023 to -2018: As a consequence of organizing defence during the war, the modern Hive Federation is codified.
- Technological aid to nations like the Krotan Primacy and the Sha Elden Lith Kindriu results in a "hardening" of the K'kree-Hiver border.
- The K'kree surrender and withdrawal is claimed to be the result of Hiver psychohistorical manipulation. Ithklur history, in the form of the Dikrah Kiradgi, records a different version of events.
- The Year 0: Far to spinward, the Third Imperium is founded.
- 410: To aid in administration of the Young Worlds, the Hive Federation capital is moved to Glea.
- 995 to 1065: The Imperial Second Survey.
