Part Three: The Modern Era: Postwar Order

[Overview of the Era] Modern historians usually regard the end of the Second Stargate War to the late Thirty-ninth Era (around the Stargate Calendar 12784) as the main stage of modern history. What is recorded in the main text of this book, in principle, ends around the year 12760 of the Stargate Calendar. Since the late Thirty-ninth Era has been more than 11,000 years since the Second Stargate War, the modern chapter is not a post-war documentary, but a general historical overview of the long-term evolution of the post-war order. After the Second Stargate War, the known public network entered a long-term reconstruction phase. The fragments of Hengguang Realm, Benqi Realm, Old Ashland, Chaqi Realm, Ocher King, Xuanli Star Hokuriku, the deep mining area of ​​Ermodi, Qingdeng Branch, the outer edge of Heimidi, etc., all have varying degrees of door body damage, population exile, administrative disorder, war responsibility recourse, and local system reorganization issues. Existing archives of Weien, Qingqiong, Luojia, Tiyang, Beichen, and Hengguang survivors show that in the first three hundred Stargate years after the war, the focus of various affairs was on refugee registration, sealing of residual gates, postwar trials, reorganization of defeated areas, reconstruction of public road laws, and the permanent establishment of transnational institutions. The historical significance of this period does not lie in the outbreak of a new large-scale war, but in the fact that after the Stargate War, there was no full-scale conflict on the scale of the ancient final chapter between the known stars, worlds, places and spaces. Local unrest, remnants of private sects, border conflicts, sect restoration, sect power disputes and post-war revenge incidents still exist for a long time, but the overall order has gradually stabilized. The relatively peaceful development of the modern Xenarchive world is based on the post-war order formed during this stage. It should be noted that the modern era is not an era where world-creation has stopped. The final leap of great beings still occurs occasionally, and individual New Territories are recorded in modern history. However, the number of modern world-creation events is very small, and most of them are included in scientific observations, surrounding security assessments, and public records. No cases that can be confirmed as a new life world have been found in modern historical materials. The stars, worlds, places, and spaces that the Stargate network is connected to in modern times are mainly worlds that already existed before but have not been stably integrated into the public road system. They are not new worlds created by the Stargate network. Therefore, the basic characteristics of the early modern period can be summarized into three items: the formation of a post-war responsibility order, the permanent establishment of the public road system, and the known world entering a long-term stable development stage.

[Post-war registration and triple roster] The first work carried out after the war was population and identity registration. The Stargate War resulted in massive deaths, disappearances, displacements, and identity disruptions. Many war survivors lost their original household registration, genealogy, school registration, passes, sect rosters or local contracts. Unusual life forms, such as residents of the earth and between, dream-like beings, mechanically conscious beings, spiritual groups, and earth-line groups, are already insufficiently registered in traditional documents, and the war has further exacerbated the difficulty of identifying them. In the early post-war period, many areas could not even distinguish between local civilians, migrant workers, those who were forced into military service, defeated refugees, and remnants of illegal military services. Stargate Calendar In 1846, QingqiongBeiyuan, Weien Cangqiong Bookstore, Luojia Baichaomen Port, Tiyang Baihe Outer Port, Beichen Donglu Observatory and Hengguang survivors jointly established a temporary registration office. The agency was initially only responsible for receiving refugee information from the Hengguang Fragment, Qingdeng Branch Road, the Jiujindi Frontline and the Benqi post-war zone. Later, it gradually expanded to multiple post-war areas. Registration content includes name, ethnic group, place of origin, migration routes, kinship relationships, travel records, physical condition, pollution conditions and war encounters. Stargate Calendar In 1853, the Thousand-Dream Interspace Echo Center and the Wuhe Land Drifting Record Institute joined the registration system. Since then, materials such as dream patterns, memory fragments, companion testimonies, leyline echoes, artifact traces, mechanical core records, spiritual body imprints and other materials have been gradually recognized as auxiliary identity evidence. This change has a greater impact on the modern identity system because it makes public records no longer completely dependent on physical body, blood relationship, and local household registration. Stargate Calendar In 1862, Weien scholar An Mi proposed the "triple roster" plan. The scheme divided post-war registration into status rolls, encounter rolls and responsibility rolls. The identity register is used to confirm that an individual or group once existed; the encounter register is used to record death, disappearance, exile, migration, disability, pollution, forced recruitment, detention and other experiences; the responsibility register is used to record whether relevant events involve war crimes, private attacks, forced labor, military abuse, massacres, post-war retaliation or illegal detention. The significance of the triple roster is to avoid simply classifying the complex identities in the war into single categories such as victors, defeated parties, civilians, war criminals, and refugees. A conscript from a defeated world may be a combatant, a conscripted person, and a war invalid at the same time; a Benqi Realm resident may be a defeated area, a victim of the old order, and a participant in postwar reorganization; an Alliance officer may also have a rescue record and be suspected of illegal revenge. The triple register does not resolve all disputes, but it provides a more stable registration framework for modern public law. Between 900 and 1200 years of the Stargate Calendar, the triple roster system was promoted to the Benqi Realm post-war autonomous region, the old Ash South Restoration Zone, the Ermo Deep Autonomous City, the King Zhen Gray Castle District, the Xuanli South Mine Autonomous City, the Chaqi Sect Registration Area and other places. In the late Thirty-ninth Era (around Stargate Calendar 12784), the Public Register still used the triple register as the basic classification method for wars, migrations, major accidents, and cross-world identity disputes.

[Blocking of residual gates and road cleaning] The second basic work of post-war order is Stargate and passage clearing. During the Second Stargate War, a large number of public Stargates were transformed into military gates, some private gates were used for secret dispatch, some branch gates were damaged in the battle, and a large number of short gates, broken gates, remains of dedicated gates, and illegal passages were not registered in time. After the war, these portals may still cause the spread of pollution, backlash, population disappearance, transfer of remaining armed forces, and cross-world smuggling. Stargate Calendar In 870, Qingqiong gatekeeper Cen Ya presided over the general record of Beiyuan's remaining gates, Luojia Baichao Port Group was responsible for supplies along the route, Tiyang Baihe Outer Harbor craftsmen participated in the dismantling of the gate body, Wuhe Land guides assisted in clearing the cracks in the drifting ground, and Hengguang survivors Stargate division was responsible for identifying the old door knocker structure of Heluo. This project was later called "the first clearing of the remaining gates". The first clearing of the remaining gates lasted for more than fifty Stargate years. Existing data show that at this stage, there were more than 40,000 dangerous dilapidated gates, more than 13,000 suspected military gates, and more than 7,000 illegal short gates. Less than 40% can be repaired, and most of the rest have been banned for a long time or listed as restricted research objects. Some door areas are severely polluted due to regulations and have not yet been fully opened. Stargate Calendar In 1912, the scope of cleaning up the remaining gates was extended to the entire known public network, forming the "General Cleanup of the Remnant Gates". This system requires each star, sector, region, and space to report the post-war legacy structures and submit them to review by the predecessor agency of the Stargate Road Department. Some local forces have refused to report on the grounds of local security, sect private property, military heritage or chamber of commerce warehousing, causing many conflicts. Existing research believes that the Canmen Zongqinglu was the earliest large-scale institutional integration between public institutions and local autonomy after the war. Stargate Calendar In 1024, the "Dangerous Door Seal Regulations" were passed. This regulation classifies post-war doors into six categories: repairable doors, restricted access doors, forbidden doors, research doors, contaminated doors and inaccessible doors. Since then, door body disposal no longer completely relies on local judgment, but needs to establish risk levels, responsibility records, maintenance files and review cycles. The ban on residual doors is not a purely technical matter. There are refugee settlements, old military warehouses, sect ruins, migrant labor camps and unmarked grave areas near many ruined gates. Closure often means relocation, compensation, local economic adjustment and disputes over historical memory. The southern restoration zone of the old Jindi, the old station area of ​​the Qingdeng Branch Road, the outer ring of the Gray Castle of King Ocher, and the lower reaches of the Chigu River in Benqi have all had long-term disputes over the delimitation of closed gates. In the late Thirty-ninth Era (around Stargate Calendar 12784), the cleaning of ruined gates has become a permanent public matter. Stargate Road Department, Zhumen Safety Institute and local gate bureaus share relevant responsibilities. The remaining gates are no longer regarded as mere war relics, but have been incorporated into modern public security, heritage protection, local development and historical education systems.
