ATLAS

From the late Chosho Era (2077-2102) to the Kukan Era (2103—), a period often regarded as one of the most significant in human history. The defining moment that shaped this era came in 2103, when the Earth’s first Hyper Lane was successfully constructed, marking a monumental event in human technological achievement. This event, known as the Great Hyper Lane Merger, connected Earth to the broader network of Hyper Lanes that spanned the galaxy, forever altering the course of civilization. The implications were immense: instantaneous travel between distant star systems became a reality, opening up new frontiers for exploration, trade, and diplomacy on a galactic scale.   Rewinding to the late Chosho Era, Hyper Lane technology had long been a topic of theoretical research. Though its potential was tantalizing, it remained an elusive dream for many years. The scientific community grappled with the complexities of bending spacetime to create stable and traversable routes between distant points in the galaxy. However, the () —an ancient and influential force—recognized the revolutionary potential of this technology early on. With their deep roots in both power and foresight, the () saw the Hyper Lane not just as a technological marvel, but as an opportunity to expand their influence beyond Earth.   During this time of experimentation and technological progress, the () founded ATLAS, an organization that would come to carry the weight of their legacy into the future. While the () had long been known for their control and influence within Japan and later across Earth, ATLAS represented the clan's ambition to move beyond terrestrial concerns and into the boundless expanse of space. ATLAS became the embodiment of the () vision.   With the successful completion of the Hyper Lane and the subsequent Great Hyper Lane Merger, ATLAS rose to prominence as one of the key players in interstellar travel and infrastructure. They inherited the () ethos of control, and now no longer confined to earthly matters, ATLAS became the key to navigating the future of interplanetary relations, colonization, and trade. The () legacy, once tied to the fortunes of Japan and Earth is still viewable, however they now reached into the stars, cementing their influence in the fabric of history.
