2172

2171<<<<<<>>>>>>>>2173 
 * The Galactic Council convenes once more and the Kermac make first mention of United Earth in a side note. Calling them unimportant upstarts of a primitive primate origin while talking to the Freon delegates, who again petitioned all members of the Galactic Council to eradicate the Humans by declaring war on them.
 * The Freons claim that the Humans would be the most violent and war like species ever and none of the present delegates would be there in decades to come.
 * The Ark data for this year is somehow lost and no detailed records could be found. It appears clear that at least three or four arks did leave Earth. Some Scholars believe these arks went to a secret destination and the data was not lost but deleted. Stahl can't remember but then he was most likely aboard a battle ship away from Earth. McElligottcan't remember either but Scholars lately do not put as much weight in McElligott's statements.
 * The Census numbers for Earth make a significant drop for the first time. More people are leaving than born.
 * All but one of the Space Elevators cease operations and are dismantled. ArtiGrav generators are now mass produced by United Earth factories and no longer just imported.
 * ISAH Labs announce yet another new Sensor type, a sensor that even the Sarans, Ult or Pan Sarans did not have. The Life sign sensor. Active sensor beams that can detect even the faintest bio electrical signatures from a distance.
 * SII introduces the SII Poodle the first affordable civilian Translight ship. A 170 meter ugly contraption able to take freight and large families or groups to whatever destination they choose ( within 2000 light years) The SII Poodle is sold by the thousands. It earns the Nickname Volkswagen of Space
