The Reconstruction, sometimes referred to as the Reconstruction Period, 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.

2335:

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

Later that year: GTD Hades, a rebel GTI superdestroyer, destroyed.

Between 2335 and 2339:

Fragmented GTA regional governments collapse into independent groups, including the Adhara Coalition, the Antares Federation, the Regulus Syndicate, and the Luyten New Alliance.

2339:

Vasudan Emperor Khonsu II ascends to the throne and immediately begins a restructuring of the Vasudan government. The corrupt Vasudan parliament is disbanded and replaced with the Vasudan Imperium. Khonsu proves to be a brilliant leader, and brings his people into a new renaissance.

2341:

Vasudan engineers develop the flak gun as a bomb-interception screen for the Typhon destroyer. The success of the project leads to deployment on all new Terran and Vasudan warship classes.

Before 2345:

The Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance is formed.

2345:

On the tenth anniversary of the Shivan attack on Ross 128, Khonsu II proposes the construction of a joint Terran-Vasudan juggernaut to counter any future Shivan threat.

Circa 2347:

Construction of the GTVA Colossus begins.

2355:

Beam weapon technology is developed, and a massive refit program for all warships is begun to integrate this new weaponry. The GVCv Sobek design is completed and manufacture begins immediately.

2358:

The Beta Aquilae Convention, or BETAC, disbands all former Terran blocs, centralizes power in the GTVA, and organizes the military, political, and economic systems of the member systems.

2360:

The first GVD Hatshepsut-class destroyer is commissioned. Terran Deimos corvettes go into production and construction of Leviathan cruisers is stopped.

2365:

GTC Aeolus production is halted after only two dozen ships are put into service in GTVA fleets.

2366:

Admiral Aken Bosch of the GTVA 6th Fleet secedes from the GTVA and forms his own government, Neo-Terra, in Polaris.
