Actually it was about at least 3000 years since the great collapse. I hope the reset would be more in line as a fast forward a century or two if not maybe a millenia but with the current powers but including new ones.

We completely chunked the reboot after Halite when making the STGOD here.

Crumbling history texts, corrupted datafiles, simple legend, and, in a very few special cases, living memory all retain information about the era before the fall (Commonwealth Standard Notation, "BF".) Vast star-empires stretched the width and breadth of the Galaxy. Interdimensional portals brought the wealth of a thousand alternate realites to this one. Vast fleets of warships plied the star-lanes, following clear hyperspace routes to every corner of the Galaxy and beyond. The Boyd Collective. The New Republic Military Dictatorship. The 6th Imperium. These names, and more, described the vast superstates of our Galaxy.

Then, it came. War had always been a fact of galactic life, even to the extent that the destruction of entire systems was hardly unheard of, but never war like this. Her name was Halite, and there is nothing in the archives of the Commonwealth besides hearsay and legend as to who, or what, she really was. Her fleets ravaged the galaxy, and the great nations took sides in the war to end all wars.

This was the Fall, the Cataclysm. After a final Great Battle, in which the last of the powers arrayed against Halite and her servants, victory was achieved- but only at great cost. The power of the Old World was broken, and even the highest of the Grand Nations was turned into a skeleton of it's former self. The hyperlanes were clogged with debris and the remnants of dead stars, and horrific technological nightmares stalked the dead streets of ravaged worlds.

It was on this stage that the New World was formed. It is now the era After Fall- AF in Commonwealth Standard Notation.

A handful of the old powers remain, diminished but still mighty. The Star Kingdom of Serenity is bereft of it's true queen, but it has survived with a fraction of it's former glory. The Corporate Sector still trades, deals, and manufactures as it always has, though it's contracts have dried to a mere trickle compared to the flood they once recieved. The Kzin Patriarchy survives as well, maintaining control of the ancient forge-world of Five Fangs. And finally, fabled Terra still stands, secure besides it's Universe Shield. The United Terran Republic, great great great grandson of the fabled American States, remains, though much of it's former territory has broken into successor states and free nations.

Now, we see a wave of new growth. The space-lanes are being cleared. Colonists are pouring into freshly-clensed planets. New polities are rising from the ashes of the Old World, and the stars are once again alive with the chaotic commerce of sentient industry.

There will be conflict, war, and violence in this era, but it is never the less a time for rejoicing. The end of barbarism is in sight, and a new Age shines on the horizon.

I think it's more of a second iteration of an offshoot of the second generation of the ASVS STGOD universe. The original STGOD universe was the playground of the Omnipotent Triumvirate, and it pretty much ended around the defeat of Transcend.

Transcend..? the Omnipotent Triumvirate? Who are these people?
