Most people think we developed the hyperdrive on our own. They are somewhat correct. We did research it. And we did build it. It was our minds who discovered the secrets of hyperspace. But the Peloran gave the technology to the AI Council. And the AI Council helped point our greatest scientists in the right directions to discover how we could make it all work. But something even fewer people know is that China was not the first Earthborn power to build a hyperdrive. That honor goes to the AI Council. They took the Peloran technology and downgraded it to something they could build out of Terran tech. Then they built it so they could test it. They made their first jump in 2095, a full decade before China did. And then they pointed all of us in the right directions it would take for us to discover how to build our own hyperdrives. That is the secret of how they gave us the galaxy.
