Ekrem Saracoglu's conversation is rich in future historical references:
"'...the Antoranite-Kraokan complex around Beta Centauri...'" (p. 473);
Dathyna;
Merseia;
the Grand Survey ship that discovered Ythri and Avalon;
joint human-Ythrian colonization of Avalon;
the Troubles;
the founding of the Terran Empire;
the fact that he is discussing all this on the planet Esperance and with a young woman from Nuevo Mexico.
But he also adds new information:
Avalon had been under Ythrian protection from the outset;
it was this that led to some Ythrians joining the colony;
Ythri had responded to the Troubles by building its Domain just as Terra had responded with the Empire.

Kaor, Paul!
If we are lucky the Chaos of our times might be ended with the rise of something similar to the Solar Commonwealth seen in the Technic series. Perhaps beginning as an alliance of the English speaking nations of the Anglosphere.
Ad astra! Sean
