The Salem Era

The Salem Era is the fourth and most recent natural era of the universe since it's creation.

It is named after Adam Steward's fleet because it is the generation/era following the completion of the first trip made by the Salem fleet across the entire span of the expanding observable universe; in which they duly exacted peace and wisdom upon all they encountered across their voyage. Therefore this generation following is enabled to be called, more or less, an era of peace (Salem).

While the Salem Fleet did not visit every single galaxy and planet, they essentially travelled in a straight line (from their original galaxy near the west edge of the universe), skipping a 46.5 billion light year radius around the milky way galaxy (which is at the centre of this universe), and continued past the Archi Galaxy (far east of the universe), to the edge of the observable universe, before turning and heading back to their home. During which, they heeded instructions on which specific planets and galaxies to go to based on the instructions that Adam received from the Author.

It is unspecified how long this voyage took; but the start of the Salem era was marked at the point in which the Salem Fleet's Melchizedek turned from the west edge of the universe to begin travelling back home (while of course harkening and going to whichever galaxy and planet that Adam tells them to based off the instructions given to him by the Author).
