Bands of Qa'al'u begin taking up common cause together to advance their civilization's development. Over time, as these factions come into contact with one another, fundamental differences begin to arise between them that makes it difficult, if not impossible, for them to work together. The factions with the greatest influence take leadership of many important activities pertaining to the development of the Qa'al'u way of life.

Cultural Misunderstanding between Jomea and Qa'al'u
Cultural eventFirst contact between Jomea and Qa'al'u peoples leads to established belief that their neighbors are culturally "backwards" compared to themselves. This leads to the build-up of the civilizations' first space naval vessels, although no outright conflict occurs between them. The overall misunderstanding and looking down upon cultures pervades these civilizations to this day.

Lost Treasure Discovered on Muzim
Population Migration / TravelThe discovery of a cache of valuable gems on the planet Muzim causes a figurative gold rush from other nearby planets, as well as from across the sector. Other similar caches are never found, but evidence that they once existed pervades a network of underground tunnels throughout the region where the first cache was found. Within almost 40 years, most of the colonists have left the system for literally greener pastures and better fortunes.

For 26 years, both sides engage in active fleet building and harrying of each civilization's supply lines and trade routes.

The Jedi Shunning of Cerumzocreraan
Cultural eventThe Jedi, distrusting of Zocreraan Force-users' methods and spirituality, enable a cultural embargo of the planet, wishing to segregate their own traditions from those the High Council has deemed unfit for further study or integration into the greater Jedi Order. After over 7,000 years of contempt and suspicion, several Jedi were dispatched to observe and report on developments in the Zocreraan tradition. What they found was a total conversion to the dark side, accomplished previously by a Sith acolyte looking to establish another segment of the Sith Empire. The Jedi, along with Republic forces, were able to cleanse the dark side from Cerumzocreraan and defeat the Sith forces, with the assistance of members of the Zocreraan faith that had not been swayed to the dark side of the Force. This led to a re-evaluation of both Zocreraan and greater Order practices and prejudices, and Zocreraan students were finally admitted to become Padawan learners.

Record Harvests Promote Trade In Sector
Financial EventA period of great production and harvest on many worlds in the sector encourages the development of trade between the different systems. Trade routes are developed throughout the sector, and goods and commodities flow more or less freely into and out of Delta Sharatan sector. Even the Qa'al'u and Jomea, regularly distrustful of outside influence, take part in this period of prosperity in the sector, stockpiling resources and building their personal wealth.

Founding of Zocreraan Faith
Religious eventThe Zocreraan people announce a religious doctrine that is based around the crystal deposits found on Cerumzocreraan. While the religion primarily takes hold on the planet where it was founded, visitors and travelers are often encountered by proponents of the faith or are drawn to sites of worship. Practitioners of this religion still hold true to their doctrine even into the time of the Galactic Empire.

First Appearance of Qa'al'u Plague
Plague / EpidemicA strange illness infects many prominent families in the Qa'al'u Technocracy, causing widespread death among the higher-ups in the government. This disease is the cause of many major political shake-ups in the Technocracy, and it is only through a cooperative effort that the disease is finally brought under control. It is estimated that close to 15 million Qa'al'u perished by the time the plague had run its course.

Jomean Military Receives Special Treatment
Political eventTo ensure that the military might of Jomea remains strong, the current King of Jomea pronounces that all soldiers will receive estates and personal starships once their military service ends, with those serving for a longer period of time, or in more hazardous circumstances, receiving greater gifts. Soldiers begin to receive preferential treatment in their dealings with public officials, even going so far as to be acquitted of capital crimes they commit "in the name of the king." This gives rise to a group of conscientious objectors, who resist the Kingdom's calls for recruitment and the prizes heaped upon their soldiers.

Bones of Ancient Creature Discovered
While exploring an underground complex on Makistaso, a Republic survey team discovers the bones of a humongous winged creature in one of the deserted caverns. Upon further examination, the creature shares certain structural and genetic links with preserved corpses found elsewhere on the planet, indicating that this could have been a precursor to the civilization that previously inhabited the planet. The Makistasi of today view the discovery as an ill omen, with portents of decay and death looming in the not too distant future.

Qa'al'u Plague Ravages Sector
Plague / EpidemicAfter coming into contact with a Qa'al'u colony ship found drifting aimlessly near Jamai, the examining traders discovered the entire crew of Qa'al'u had died under mysterious circumstances. Soon after, the crew, and all they had come into contact with, begin exhibiting the symptoms of what would be called the Qa'al'u Plague, and after two years of running rampant in the Jamai system it took the lives of close to five million individuals. Only through the intervention of Republic scientists and Jedi healers were the citizens of Jamai able to turn the tide and contain the disease.
