The now-derelict spacecraft, the Centurion-IV, was ultimately observed some two light-years away in deep-space from planet Sernon off of the fringes of the Neosapien Imperium in the 45th era. Initally considered as stolen property by leaders of the Neosapien Imperium, an investigation was immediately launched, however, a survey team that was dispatched to its location declared that this was not so.

From neolithic wheels, steam locomotives, space stations, and tachyonic engines, humanity persists and evolves in the wake of invention. So began the age of the first cosmic empire, the Sapient Union.

A derelict spacecraft, stranded some 2.8 trillion light-years away from the farthest reaches of the Sapient Union's jurisdiction, was recovered in the year of 45K SU by cosmic expeditionists.

Details surrounding the nature of the vessel, using carbon dating, note that the craft was manufactured with rudimentary materials created in the Cyndrean year of 1999 CE.

Although the vessel was created primarily for manual drive, there was no sign - nor any biological remnant - of the pilot, however, located in a toolbox was a weathered hard drive that had miraculously survived the decay caused by cosmic radiation.

Upon accessing the data contained within led to an intriguing discovery, what is considered to be one of the greatest mysteries ever explored, starting with the first opened file.

Taking the form of what could only be described as a "digital telegram archive", most likely from the pilot of the vessel itself, the messages were kept brief and copious amounts of abbreviations were used. Whether this was a stylistic choice, or by the circumstances of the pilot at the time are all up for debate.

In the midst of putting together the digital notes to create a working chronological timeline was ultimately an exercise in futility. The sheer volume of the data drive was immense. Coupled with algorithms that attempted to automatically arrange the notes at will, regardless of the computational accuracy, there would be discrepancies that arose, because some entries were not dated, others were unfinished, and some were completely incomprehensible.

Even with the difficulties set forth, this did little to stop discourse within the Sapient Union. Jaagen's Theory,
