Longest, most stable era — no inter-state wars. Council of Unity +850 (EV-0011), 49 members. 12 Guilds (~25 M). 4 tech eras: industrial → thermonuclear (+1 420 fusion) → informational (+1 800 bio-optical) → abundance (+2 800). Literacy 100%, lifespan ~180 y, slavery abolished +1 500. Space: elevator +3 000, Thel base +3 300.
6.1 Council of Unity (+850, EV-0011)
49 representatives, Khar-Vexar. First chair Ven-Thal-Vek (physicist-diplomat).
6.1.1 Structure
| Component | Composition | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Guild Chamber | 24 (2 from each of 12 guilds) | Economy, science, tech |
| Region Chamber | 25 (eight domains) | Territory, population, culture |
| Keeper of Knowledge | 1 (lifelong, no vote) | Canon compliance control |
6.1.2 First Decisions
- Unified Calendar confirmation (introduced 0)
- Guild system recognition (12 guilds)
- Unified writing system (classical Sha'Ruun)
- Keeper Guild = canon + archives guardian
Early agenda: standardization + institution building (elevator only +3 000).
6.2 Key Milestones
| Year | Event | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| +850 | Council founding | Era begins |
| +900 – +1 400 | Guild institutionalization | Economic base |
| +1 420 | First fusion reactor | Expanded energy production |
| +1 500 | Slavery abolition | Social milestone |
| +1 800 | Bio-optical computing | Quantum leap |
| +2 200 | Unified mapping | Full planet map |
| +2 800 | GNSS (6 → 24 satellites) | Navigation |
| +3 000 | Khar-Tor orbital elevator | Space infra |
| +3 300 | Permanent base on Thel | He-3 extraction |
| +4 000 | Space infrastructure | 48 satellites, 24 stations |
6.3 The Guilds (12)
| Guild | Field | HQ | Members |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scholars | Science | Khar-Vexar | 2.4 M |
| Engineers | Technology | Ven-Khal | 3.8 M |
| Medics | Health | Khar-Vexar | 1.2 M |
| Agronomists | Agriculture | Central Plain | 5.6 M |
| Builders | Infrastructure | Khar-Vexar | 2.1 M |
| Merchants | Economy | Ven-Khal | 4.2 M |
| Keepers | Knowledge, archive | Khar-Vexar | 0.8 M |
| Warriors | Security | Ven-Khal | 0.6 M |

| Miners | Extraction | Irkhen | 1.8 M |
| Navigators | Transport | Khar-Vexar | 1.1 M |
| Scribes | Administration | Khar-Vexar | 0.5 M |
Total ~25 M members (incl. families). Guild = union + school + court + social network (gives a name, accepts it on departure) (→ rhu [Thexar-II, Sha-El 08]).
6.4 Technological Eras
- Industrial (−1 200 – +1 420): steam, coal, steel, railroads, electrification — planet-wide in first centuries
- Thermonuclear (+1 420 – +2 000): fusion, end of fossil fuels, 1 st orbital stations; He-3 fusion and separate thorium-cycle fission (→ rhu [Thexar-I, Ruun 33, "Fusion"] )
- Informational (+1 800 – +2 800): bio-optical computing, quantum communication, limited AI; planetary networks
- Abundance (+2 800 – present): post-scarcity, extensive automation, moon exploration (Thel base); economics shifts scarcity → distribution
6.5 Social Achievements
| Shan | +850 | +4 028 |
|---|---|---|
| Population (Xha'ri) | ~0.4 bln | ~2.8 bln |
| Urbanization | 18% | 62% |
| Literacy | 40% | 100% |
| Lifespan | ~80 y | ~180 y |
| GDP/capita | — | 44 000 s.u. |
| Slavery | Existed | Abolished (+1 500) |
Growth Commandment: population growth ≤0.3%/y (adopted after First Empire crisis). All species: Xha'ri 2.8 bln + Kel'vash 1.2 bln + Moryn 0.8 bln = ~4.8 bln (→ rhu [Thexar-II, Sha-El 14], [Thexar-II, Sha-El 16]).
