The First Interregnum was a period of history from 88,000 BCE (reference stardate -900/00) to 73,000 BCE (stardate -750/00), during the Emergent Era. It began with the fall of the Ena and ended with the rise of the djKen. It was characterised by a general retrogression, primitivism and a lack of interstellar travel, with no major space-faring civilizations. (FASA RPG module: The Orions: Book of Common Knowledge)
