The Golden Age was an era in history when the human race had achieved a very prosperous existence, having colonized the entire Solar System.
Overview
The Golden Age was sparked by the arrival of the Traveler. Reshaping the system's planets and moons, it taught humanity new powers and mystical technologies that led to this age.[1] Many corporations existed during the Golden Age.[2]
The Golden Age came to an end with the arrival of the Darkness,[1] which began to attack humanity, and drove it back to planet Earth. The Traveler defended what was left of the human race, and through some means sacrificed itself to save humanity. The survivors of the conflict banded together and built a city underneath where the Traveler hung over the Earth. Humanity had been saved, but its golden age was over. Approximately seven hundred years[3] from the present day, enough time has passed since the Traveler's final stand that many details about the Golden Age and how it ended, such as what, or whom, attacked and exactly how the Traveler saved humanity have been forgotten or have passed into legend.[4]
