Gaurada Point

With the discovery of Ancient Sentient Imperium technology by the dominant factions of the Second Era, fields such as power generation, density projectors, communication systems, travel through the Horizon Plane, and offensive weaponry would advance greatly, forming a stark contrast between technology prior to and after first contact with Sentient equipment. Humanity, unlike other species, would have a unique Split Gaurada Point, in which the original discovery of Ancient Sentient technology would not be complete, instead mankind would only gain communications and engine technology until the capture of a Lauresh reconnaissance craft during the Siege of Castillus-5 in the heat of the Second Lauresh War.

The Human Imperial Alliance would denote the the point of time after a faction first encounters Ancient Sentient technology as the Gaurada Point, named after the ship that first discovered Gateway Station Alpha outside the Terra System.
