Second Imperial Age

The Second [Imperial](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VYLyPxQnpp-emperor-taunuasao-taoyusao) Age, ruled by [House Xy.ō](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RXlXBrm5o1-house-xyo), was the shortest dynasty in [Xi'an](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/ReJwN9KJEj-xian) history, lasting over 1700 MXY. During this time, Xi'an explorers discovered multiple planetary systems and expanded the borders of the [Xi'an Empire (SaoXy'an)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0n96JkwNo9-xian-empire). In MXY II.914 (SEY 291), they achieved first contact with the [Kr'thak](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RxNxDYkqzz-krthak) culture and attempted to establish a trade relationship. After several decades of strained relations, the [Spirit Wars](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0dQ4DYJ9W8-spirit-wars) (II.961 - II.1735 / SEY 351 - 1342) erupted, ravaging the latter half of the Age. The entirety of House Xy.ō was killed in a bombing incursion by the Kr'thak in II.1706 (SEY 1305). This began [the Dark](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VyvYXnM2Pl-the-dark/) (II.1706 - II.1824 / SEY 1305 - 1457), an era in which the Xi'an Empire had no official Imperial House. Xi'an historians group the Dark in with the Second Imperial Age, formally ending it at the ascension of [House Kr.ē](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/R6v8OZOrP5-house-kree) to the imperial throne in II.1824 (SEY 1457).

Das Zweite Kaiserliche Zeitalter, regiert vom [Haus Xy.ō](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RXlXBrm5o1-house-xyo), war die kürzeste Dynastie in der [Xi'an](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/ReJwN9KJEj-xian) Geschichte und dauerte über 1700 Xi'an Jahre. Während dieser Zeit entdeckten Xi'an-Forscher mehrere Sternensysteme und erweiterten die Grenzen des [Xi'an-Reiches (SaoXy'an)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0n96JkwNo9-xian-empire). In II.914 (212) erreichten sie den ersten Kontakt mit der [Kr'thak](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RxNxDYkqzz-krthak) Kultur und versuchten, eine Handelsbeziehung aufzubauen. Nach mehreren Jahrzehnten angespannter Beziehungen brachen die [Geisterkriege](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0dQ4DYJ9W8-spirit-wars) (II.961 - II.1735 / 272-1263) aus und verwüsteten die zweite Hälfte des Zeitalters. Die Gesamtheit des Hauses Xy.ō wurde bei einem Bombenangriff der Kr'thak in II.1706 (1225) getötet. Damit begann [die Dunkelheit](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VyvYXnM2Pl-the-dark/) (II.1706 - II.1824 / 1225-1377), eine Ära, in der das Xi'an Reich kein offizielles Kaiserhaus hatte. Die Historiker von Xi'an ordnen das Dunkle in das Zweite Kaiserliche Zeitalter ein und beenden es formal mit der Besteigung des [Hauses Kr.ē](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/R6v8OZOrP5-house-kree) auf den kaiserlichen Thron im II.1824 (1377).
