The event when the Pelted rediscovered humanity and welcomed them into the Alliance.
History
- Discovery (140 BA? Possibly as much as 139 BA.)
- Invitation to Starbase Alpha
- Signing of humanity into the Alliance as a member (not as an allied power; this was a condition of continued interaction) (141 BA)
The successful negotiation was conducted by Dar Allen, the Chair of the Alliance Council at that time.
Specifics
- Humans were to be accepted as a member species of the Alliance, not an ally
- Humans were not allowed to serve in Fleet in any capacity (including R&D and contracting to firms that built ships or supplied them).
The second condition was considered onerous, and amended to add that the provision would be revisited in a century. This 'Hundred Years Proof' would supposedly give the Pelted enough data to know whether humans could be trusted in the military. When 241 BA rolled around, though, no one made any changes; it wasn't until 167 years later, in 308 BA, that it was challenged by a teen boy who wanted to join, who'd been born on a Pelted world and never known any other. After that, humans were permitted to join. Transfers didn't become a thing until 388 BA, when it was decided that some human guidance wouldn't go amiss. Brighthaven would be the first human commandant to serve in that post, about 62 years later.
Redactions
The Timeline puts it in 2611, or 141 BA. However, the first edition introduction of Alysha's Fall quotes the reestablishment of contact with humanity as 2377.[1] This date (and other date references) were removed in the second edition, leading to questions of canonicity. The author notes that the timeline was shifted later, however, to make events more plausible and give more space for events prior to the Alliance's formation, so the 141 BA date is currently regarded as the canonical one.
Quotes
"... I should say... when we ran into them again. There are questions of about that too--very convenient for those scouts to happen onto humanity." Zafiil (Fiction), Volume 1, Chapter 29, kindle page 367 of 454,</ref
