 The //One Time// is a huge, sprawling, meta-culture of civilisations linked together by the [[wormholes]] that make faster than light travel possible. It's not really FTL, but in the sense that it allows travel between star systems, or even galaxies, within mere moments, it's as good as. The //One Time// is a huge, sprawling, meta-culture of civilisations linked together by the [[wormholes]] that make faster than light travel possible.

 One thing that becomes immediately apparent is that life, or at least advanced forms of life, is terribly sparse.  There may be a few technological civilisations native to a single galaxy, though many galaxies have but a single one, and the majority seem to be barren of such civilisations. One thing that becomes immediately apparent is that life, or at least advanced forms of life, is terribly sparse.  There may be a few technological civilisations native to a single galaxy, though many galaxies have but a single one, and the majority seem to be barren of such civilisations.

 It is thought that the culture that started it all was that of the //Yi'klari//. Little of them is known, but they existed between 9 and 10 billion years ago and may have been a Type III civilisation at their height. They discovered a way to create stable wormholes, and with this technology began the colonisation of their galaxy, and then other galaxies 'shortly' afterwards. The use of wormholes makes talking about time difficult. As their empire spread, so time within the wormhole network was fixed. It may take millions of years to bridge the gap between two galaxies, but only a few decades may pass within the One Time. Though the network was first created almost ten billion years ago, it is estimated that less than a million years has passed within the One Time itself. It is thought that the culture that started it all was that of the //Yi'klari//.
