Important Events

Pivotal changes happen in The Technic Civilization Saga, Volume III, Rise Of The Terran Empire, as its title indicates, but, in real history, many earlier events build up to such changes and this is true also in the Saga. Relevant earlier events in Volume II, David Falkayn: Star Trader are:

van Rijn initiates his first trade pioneer crew led by Falkayn;

that crew saves Merseia from the supernova, Valenderay;

the Shenna are revealed as an external threat to the Polesotechnic League;

some League merchants become piratical and worse;

the League cartelizes and Falkayn clashes with van Rijn.

Thus, five of the seven instalments in Volume II present events that build up to the major events in Volume III which are:

civil war in the League;

Falkayn's colonization of Avalon;

the Troubles;

the early Terran Empire;

war between Empire and Avalon.
