Legend of Galactic Heroes, Part 1 – Dawn
Prologue A Brief History of
the Milky Way
...Anno Domini 2801, the center
of the government moved from the third planet of the Solar System (太陽系), Terra (地球, テラ), to
Aldebaran (α Tauri) (アルデバラン系) system's second planet Deolia (テオリア). There,
the humans pronounced the creation of the Galactic Federation (銀河連邦), and changed the
calendar to the Universal Calendar (UC) (宇宙暦), Year 1. At the same time, they began to expand infinitely
towards the deepest regions and the edges of the Galaxy (銀河系). After AD 2700, the most
prominent characteristics were the frequent warfare and the lack of order. This
had caused mankind’s expansion towards the outer world to come to a halt. Just
like energy that is about to explode, a deep crisis had been brewing.
