| - | When humanity finally broke free from the confines of Earth and established consistent extraterrestrial logistic chains, our species naturally began with the colonization of the Moon and Mars, followed by ventures into the asteroid belt. However, it quickly became apparent that full-scale planetary projects were immensely complex and resource-intensive. This realization prompted a shift in focus towards the construction of space stations. By the early 22nd century, a significant milestone was reached: one-tenth of all newborn babies were born in space. | + | When humanity finally broke free from the confines of [[Earth]] and established consistent extraterrestrial logistic chains, our species naturally began with the colonization of the [[Moon]] and [[Mars]], followed by ventures into the asteroid belt.

| - | Soon after, scientists and engineers conceived of the revolutionary [[Gate]] technology. The [[Gate]] allowed for the creation of stable wormholes, enabling near-instantaneous travel between distant points in space. The relatively low cost of maintaining these Gates opened up possibilities for building logistical routes to even the farthest reaches of known space at minimal expense, fundamentally changing the economics of space travel and colonization. | + | Soon after, scientists and engineers conceived of the revolutionary [[Gate]] technology.

| It was during this transformative period that the concept of the Expansion began to take shape. The underlying philosophy was simple yet profound: the Milky Way is vast and rich in resources, and expansion has been a fundamental aspect of biological life, particularly human civilization, | It was during this transformative period that the concept of the Expansion began to take shape.
