The history of SINK is divided into distinct eras that explain the evolution of civilization and provide a chronological framework for all historical events.
The First Expansion marks humanity's earliest ventures beyond its homeworld and the beginning of interstellar civilization.
The Age of Discovery follows as humanity encounters alien civilizations, artificial intelligences, precursor technology, and previously unknown regions of space.
The Void Emergence begins when unexplained dimensional anomalies appear across known space. Entire fleets, colonies, and worlds vanish or reappear without explanation.
The Era of Convergence sees countless civilizations from separate realities drawn together through increasingly unstable Void events. New alliances and devastating conflicts reshape civilization.
The Great Reconstruction is a period of rebuilding following widespread destruction. Many modern governments, factions, and cities originate during this era.
The Modern Age represents the current era. Political tensions remain high as factions compete for territory, technology, influence, and control over newly discovered Void phenomena. Exploration continues while ancient mysteries and emerging threats constantly reshape the future.
