| - "The search for Kalid" takes place in 108 ANE (After the New Elections). This is the year 2472, as years were previously counted on Earth. Before the start of the story, the conflict between members of the Futurist Party (including Set), telepaths from the Haldus Order, and members of the Antiquist Party has become very nasty and spread to other worlds beyond Sakkara. Sybil finally learns that telepaths of the Haldus Order did give evidence about the destruction of the space elevators to the Sakkara Department of Justice. Sybil tries to find out what was done with that evidence. She first asks the Department of Justice, but she makes no progress. She then decides to ask her old friend, Leone, an Antiquist Party official on Sakkara who was involved with government over-sight of the Space Elevators project, for help. She invites Leone to her home and tells him that evidence was given to the Department of Justice but now the Department of Justice claims that they never got the evidence. Sybil fears that someone in the Department of Justice is obstructing the investigation. Leone, who is head of the Department of Transportation, secretly assembles all of the Planetary Council except Aristark. Leone gets permission from the Council to perform a secret investigation of the Justice Department. Leone uses the resources of the Department of Transportation to investigate the Justice Department, but Leone cannot find evidence that there has been a cover-up of evidence related to the destruction of the space elevators. Of course, Aristark is the guilty party and as head of the Department of Justice he has been able to get rid of all evidence linking the destruction of the Space Elevators to the Antiquist Party. After a few weeks Leone returns to Sybil's home and reports that he has made no progress. He offers to make public the evidence she has, but Sybil is under orders to not put the Haldus Order at risk by bringing back to Sakkara the two telepaths who have the evidence. Sybil's refusal to explain the source of her evidence makes Leone suspicious. He becomes angry and tells Sybil that he does not believe anything she has told him. She tells him that the evidence was obtained by telepathy. Leone laughs, thinks she is crazy and leaves. Leone, who is friends with Aristark, tells Aristark about Sybil and the secret investigation of the Justice Department. Aristark reports back to Ketar that Sybil might be able to lead them to the source of evidence linking the destruction of the space elevators to the Antiquist party. Ketar (head of the Galactic Antiquist Party) has a spy who penetrates one of the cover organizations of the Haldus Order, so he becomes aware of the fact that the Haldus Order is behind many cover organizations including Silver Tulipan. Ketar fears that the Haldus Order will eventually make public the evidence that they have about the involvement of the Antiquist Party in destroying the elevators on Sakkara. Ketar decides to make use of Leone to get information from Sybil. Ketar makes use of of the Galactic Antiquist Party's extensive spy network to leak information to both Sybil and Leone about Set's plans and this makes Sybil and Leone both believe that Set is massing forces for an attack on Sakkara. Leone is tasked by Ketar to go to Sybil in order to get help in protecting Sakkara against Set's plans. Ketar hopes to bring high-level members of the Haldus Order out into the open. Ketar's spy within the Haldus Order has reported that the Haldus Order is developing a secret science of telepathy. Ketar wants to learn if this is true. If so, he wants to lay claim to such technology for his own goal of advancing the power and influence of Azur.
- 2472 CE. "The search for Kalid" takes place in 108 ANE (After the New Empire). This is the year 2472, as years were previously counted on Earth. Before the start of the story, the conflict between members of the Futurist Party (including Set), telepaths from the Osiris Order, and members of the Antiquist Party has become very nasty and spread to other worlds beyond Sakkara. Leone, an Antiquist Party official on Sakkara who was involved with government over-sight of the Space Elevators project, has been tasked by Ketar (head of the Antiquist Party) with finding Kalid and ending the growing civil war between the Antiquist and Futurist forces. 2471 CE. The Space Elevators are destroyed on Sakkara. Set's ability for telepathic reception is awakened when his girl friend dies in the terrorist attack on the nearly completed Space Elevators. Set detects several telepaths who are working on Sakkara. These telepaths lead Set to information about the terrorists who destroyed the Space Elevators. These terrorists have already left Sakkara, but Set finds evidence that seems to indicate that the terrorists were funded by the Spaceship Guild, with the funds passing through the hands of Antiquist Party members on Sakkara. Set can tell that the telepaths on Sakkara have seen the evidence linking the terrorists to Antiquist Party members. Since the telepaths do not come forward with that evidence, Set assumes that the telepaths are trying to cover-up that connection. Set prepares to make public the evidence and is then visited by one of the telepaths, who tells Set not to publicize the evidence because it will disrupt the plans of the telepaths to trace back to the ultimate source of control behind the terrorist attack. Set ignores this advice and releases the evidence linking the destruction of the Space Elevators to the Antiquist Party. This starts a struggle between Set, his allies in the Futurist Party, the telepaths, and Leone and his allies in the Antiquist Party. 2470 CE. Leone is re-elected as Planetary Counselor for Transportation. 2467 CE. Construction begins on the Space Elevators using private funds raised by the Futurist Party. Set continues to work politically, obtaining all of the required government approvals for the Space Elevators project. Set's girl friend works on construction of the Space Elevators. 2466 CE. Leone defeats Set in the election and becomes Sakkara's Planetary Counselor for Transportation. The vote is close and disputed. Set has campaigned on the basis of his goal to obtain government funding for space elevators. Leone is a member of the Antiquist Party which works closely with the Spaceship Guild and does not support government funding for space elevators. 2462 CE. The Osiris Order makes a major technological advance in radio-assisted telepathy. They learn how to couple telepathic signals to electromagnetic signals. This allows the Osiris Order to become much more aggressive in how they use telepathy to prevent war and other social disruptions. 2458 CE. Ketar becomes head of the Galactic Antiquist Party, the umbrella organization that supports local Antiquist Party branches on planets such as Sakkara. Ketar plans to gain enough political power to topple the Empire and liberate his home world of Azur. 2453 CE. A new material is discovered that makes it possible to build space elevators. Set and other members of the Sakkara Futurist Party begin to lobby for government funding to build space elevators for Sakkara. The ultimate goal is to end the practice of landing interstellar spaceships on Sakkara. 2371 CE. The Empire completes a program in "historical revisionism". On many worlds, people are taught that on Earth there were many free nations, not one Empire to rule everything. In order to try to erase the true history of Earth, the Empire alters all databases and creates a false history of Earth, including a galaxy-wide falsification of Earth's actual location. They enter into the databases false coordinates for Earth, coordinates which correspond to a Green Planet located in another star system that is 22 parsecs from Earth. The Empire creates a false history of Earth that emphasizes the importance of past empires like the ancient Roman Empire. 2364 CE. The "New Empire" is established as the first political system of the Space Age to claim dominion over all human settlements in the Galaxy. Ketar is from a family on Azur. Azur was on of the last pockets of resistance that was finally defeated and incorporated into the Empire. Many on Azur remain devoted to the ultimate destruction of the Empire. The Osiris Order often supports the Empire in an attempt to limit warfare and destruction of human life on planetary scales. 2312 CE. The Osiris Order discovers how to shield a base or a ship from conventional scanners. They re-establish a research center on Flammis. 2278 CE. The Spaceship Guild comes into conflict with the Osiris Order and turns Flammis into a Green World. 2211 CE. A spaceship explodes over the Sinai Peninsula, creating a crater over 200 kilometers across and destroying most life on Earth. The Spaceship Guild covers-up the fact that the disaster was caused by a spaceship explosion. They release a swarm of nanites that turn Earth into a toxic "Green Planet". 2187 CE. The Osiris Order starts a secret research program for development of technologies that will allow for amplification of human telepathy. The main center for this research is a world called "Veritas Flammis". 2131 CE. The Spaceship Guild is formed by the major manufacturers of hyperspatial ships. From that point in time, the Spaceship Guild remains as the dominant economic force in all the Galaxy. 2139 BCE. The Osiris Order starts in Egypt as a training center for the development of telepathic powers.
