What happened, and when
The Duchy denies harbouring the Hollowfrost raiders
The ducal court at Hallowmere says it knows nothing of the raiders, offers its sympathies, and calls for calm.
The Legion masses at Kessit
Imperial Legion ships gather at Kessit. The Empire says the raiders are hiding in Insmother space and demands they be handed over within ten days.
The Open Hand denies the Hollowfrost raid
In a pirate broadcast, the activists deny any part in the raid and ask how a movement without ships could carry it out.
The Empire blames The Open Hand for the Hollowfrost raid
An imperial proclamation names the banned activist network as the raiders and says their ship fled towards Insmother space.
Raiders strike Hollowfrost Station
Armed raiders break into the imperial research station on Ruhn b, leaving three guards dead, and escape before the Legion arrives.
The first hyperlane is established
Along the new lane, drift engines reach Prismani speeds without fluctuations. The Prismani Hyperlane Association comes to manage the hyperlanes.
The Prismani Space Navigator Guild is founded
The Prismani who can still reach the Drift form a guild of navigators.
The first post-Rift drift engine is launched
The first drift travel without Prismani in ten years: slow, expensive, and prone to fluctuations that can destabilise space-time.
The Rift tears through the Drift
A chain reaction runs through the Drift. Ships across the known universe can no longer drift-warp, and many Prismani lose their connection to the Drift, halting long-distance travel.
