In 23,236 AD, the nations adopted New Eden Standard Time and entered the YC era

In 23,237 AD, the year of YC1 (the same below), the Ministry of Integration legislated to abolish the high annual fee for outer space navigation, so that ordinary people also had the opportunity to participate in space colonization, which led to the emergence of a large number of civil organizations in the following hundred years.

Here's an excerpt from the background:

The establishment of a cosmic standard time has been a topic of discussion since the beginning of inter-empire exchanges. Each empire now has a calendar and clock standard based on the day length of its home planet, which can cause unnecessary trouble when multiple parties work together. The urgency of establishing a unified cosmic time is undoubtedly reflected, and with synchronized time, inter-race communication will be smoother.

Cosmic synchronization time based on the calendar of one empire is of course fine for that empire, but other nations will not accept it. So a new synchronization time had to be redesigned. Controversy over the new calendar and synchronous time quickly intensified among three major groups: the Arithmetic Society, the Classical School, and the Twenty-Five Experimental Society. The initial debate was among academics, but then politicians and the public joined the discussion and made further proposals. All three groups sought support from all strata of society and from different theoretical factions. The Arithmetic Society is mainly composed of physicists and engineers, the classical school is mainly composed of historians and archaeologists, and the Twenty-Five Experimental Society is a faction of biologists and sociologists.

The Arithmetic Society advocated that the new calendar and synchronous time should abandon all traditional ways of establishing planetary calendars and be based entirely on mathematical theories. They claim that this is the right fit for today's modern world, where physics is the norm. The classical school of thought believes that the only practical way is to develop a new calendar based on the ancient earth calendar as much as possible. The current calendars of all races, especially the Jupiters and Emma, retain some elements of the ancient calendar, and can be merged with the present calendar by making more or less modifications to the ancient calendar. Finally, the Twenty-Five Experimental Society was convinced that the only measure worth considering in this vast age of the universe was the human body, whose biological clock was close to 25 ancient earth hours, and therefore they wanted to use it as a basic measure of the new calendar and synchronized time.

In this marathon discussion, many small groups emerged to cheer for the camp they supported. Among them was a Galent civic organization that embraced the views of the Twenty-Five Experimental Society, and their leader was Ace? Tikai is an energetic young man who prefers to be called an astrologer. Through the vast network of contacts built by this organization, the 25th Experimental Association quickly gained a lot of public support.

The classical school did not play the mass card like the Twenty-Five Experimental Society, and they were more sensible to focus their energies on lobbying politicians, who proved to be the ones who had the power to decide. When the final decision was announced aboard Jupiter's cruiser Uur, the classical school triumphed. The day was set at 24 hours, the year was 365 days, and there was a leap year every four years, exactly like the ancient Earth calendar. is an abbreviation for Earth Standard Time, which is also known as EVE Standard Time. It has been 105 years since the Juur Congress, so it is now the 105th year of the EST.

The astrologer did not slack off, and soon he noticed another phenomenon. In those days, shipowners had to pay a hefty annual fee for their pilot's license. This is a system that empires have pushed hard to generate large revenues for the government, which means that only the elite of society can afford a spaceship. However, this system set too high a threshold for cosmic trade, making it impossible for the middle class to participate in trade, and hindering the development of the industry. Ace's organization (still known as the Twenty-Five Experimental Society) lobbied intergovernmentally in an attempt to legislatively change the phenomenon. At first, they mainly tried to convince the Confederation that after the Ministry of Integration took over the right to issue licenses and collect fees, the 25th Experimental Association also shifted its focus and Peaceful demonstrations were organized.

The Ministry initially ignored the protests, but as the protests escalated, the Ministry was forced to set up a temporary committee to deal with the matter in order to maintain a good public image. After that, things dragged on indefinitely, and months passed without any news. During this time, astrologers continued to launch larger protests and even organized full-scale strikes on some planets. The event occurred at the EST1 orientation celebration at the UNIT's headquarters, where astrologers successfully remotely controlled an unmanned transport ship laden with explosives to infiltrate the defenses and detonate the explosives outside the UNIT's space station in front of important people in the EVE world. The astrologer had calculated accurately that the explosion had not hurt the attendees at all, and his intentions had become clear. Two months later, the Ministry re-enacted legislation to repeal the annual licence fee.

The astrologer's feats made him a wandering fugitive, but more people saw him as a hero. The Twenty-Five Experimental Society was disbanded, and the astrologer could not continue to fight for the interests of the people, but his name and the Twenty-Five Experimental Society will always be remembered, and every time a new organization emerges in the world of Eve, they will call themselves the successors of the "Twenty-Five", dreaming of reliving the passionate years of fighting against the powerful on their own.

First up is Emma. Years of turmoil have severely damaged the vitality of the empire, and Mimatar's rebellion has exposed the weaknesses of the emperor's ** army. At the same time, because the emperor is dying, everyone knows that he may die at any time, and the major nobles have evil intentions and hope to get a piece of the pie when the new emperor ascends the throne, which leads to the failure of Emma's decrees at this time and the chaos of the army (at this time and before that, Emma's army was mostly in the hands of the nobles, for details, please refer to the mobilization system in medieval Europe). After years of non-stop warfare, the Emma Empire could no longer expand and maintain many colonies, so a large number of outlying colonies were abandoned, and the empire's territory shrank to its current level. (I'll tell you that many of the current 00 areas used to be part of the Empire...... ）
