The Reconstruction, sometimes referred to as the Reconstruction Period or Reconstruction Era, was a series of political events which led to advancing technology and preparing for the Shivans' return. The Reconstruction included many major events, such as the formation of the Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance and the Beta Aquilae Convention.

After the destruction of the SD Lucifer, the Terran and Vasudan species were faced with having to rebuild their respective civilizations. A coup by rogue members of Galactic Terran Intelligence was only the first in a series of splinterings in the former Galactic Terran Alliance.

On or shortly after March 29th: SD Lucifer destroyed by pilots from the GTD Bastion while exiting subspace in Sol. The Sol-Delta Serpentis jump node collapses, severing Earth from the rest of the GTA.

Later that year: a branch of Galactic Terran Intelligence stages a rebellion that culminated with the destruction of the GTD Hades, the rebel superdestroyer.
