 ====== THE BETA AGE ======
+{{:beta_age_title.png?direct&600|}}
 The Beta Age begins on [[day_zero|Day Zero]], March 24, 2625, marked by the catastrophic landing of the [[the_humans|exohuman]] spaceship [[Last Frontier|Last Frontier]] on [[the_planet_voi_700_d|VOI 700 D]]. This tumultuous era ends on April 8, 2631, seven days after the unconditional surrender of the [[volunteer_army_of_man|Volunteer Army of Man (VAM)]] and the enactment of the [[peace_treaty|Peace Treaty]] between ExoHumans and the [[alliance_of_native_tribes|Alliance of Native Tribes]], which concluded the [[great_war|Great War]].

   * **Severe Material Shortages →** Buildings, tools, and weapons were salvaged from wreckage and improvised from natural resources.
   * **The Energy Crisis →** The destruction of 60% of energy infrastructure forced reliance on [[quantum_fusion_batteries|Quantum Fusion Batteries]] (QFBs), leading to fierce competition over energy sources.
-  * **Self-Sufficient Settlements →** [[New Kourou|New Kourou]], [[Firetown|Firetown]], [[Morningstar|Morningstar]], and [[Hope|Hope]] were established in areas with potential energy resources (solar, wind, and hydro), but lack of industrial infrastructure made expansion slow and unstable.
+  * **Communications Collapse →**  The planetary quantum-mesh burned up in the crash; with no satellites or spare server farms, settlers lost all Internet-style connectivity. [[gaia|GAIA’s]] once-seamless cloud splintered into bunker-level [[local_gaia_hub|Local GAIA Hubs]], each throttled by weekly short-wave and [[shellac_records|Shellac]] updates, leaving communities information-starved and technologically isolated.

   * [[hope|Hope]] and [[firetown|Firetown]] were constructed using stone from local quarries, reflecting a return to pre-industrial architecture due to material shortages.
