Third Interregnum

The Third Interregnum was a period of history from 41,000 BCE (reference stardate -430/00) to 38,000 BCE (stardate -400/00), though these dates are not precisely known. It was the final period of the Emergent Era. It began with the fall of the Querat and ended with the rise of the Preservers. It was characterised by a general retrogression, primitivism and a lack of interstellar travel.
