AE

"Anno Exodi", or "Year of the Exodus", colloquially referred to as "After Exodus", this suffix is used to mark any year after 2491 AD, signifying the the beginning of human expansion into surrounding star-systems using faster-than light travel. It is the primary method of measuring time among the Exodus worlds, however, it has often been supplemented in Antarean space. First by PA (Pax Antarea), then, for a short time, by ASC (Antarean Standard Cycles). PA has returned to being the method of marking years within the 2nd Antarean Star Empire.
