Klinzhai (FASA 2222)

• c.RSD -28: If Preserver theory applies to the Klingons, it is about this time that the Preservers would have seeded the Klinzhai system with the primitive race that will one day become modern Klingons. At present, however, no evidence exists to show that the Klingons did or did not come from Preserver root stock. The question is still open.

7991 BCE

• RSD -28/9104 (April): The 144th Rigel Conference deadlocks on the Orion pirate issue. The Orions pledge to police the Rigel system and to aid interstellar enforcement of space law. The offer is accepted with little debate. Cucula the Dormon gives his famous warning, "Ten thousand years ago, they were slaves. A thousand years ago, servants. When will they be masters?" An anti-Orion pogrom is bloodily put down. The Orion Alliance meets on Botchok in an emergency session to discuss the pirate question. The Grays, most of them colonials, think piracy is hurting the cause of independence and should be curtailed. Foreseeing the impossibility of a gradual transition, the Ruddies contend that a strong space navy will eventually be indispensable and should be built now. This is the official origin of the split between the gradualists and the militarists.
