Expansionist Era

The Expansionist Era or Expansion Era was the term given to the years before the Galactic Republic formed, when transit between the Core Worlds was opened up by the newly-developed hyperdrive, and the formation and early expansion of the Republic. The Unification Wars were fought in this era. Also, the Tion Hegemony, at this time, was a proud civilization, and most of the worlds of the Allied Tion Sector were settled. The Gilagimar was a famous cruiser of this time.
