History
Modia’s oldest cities date to nearly 20,000 human years ago. Approximately 8,000-11,000 years ago the Modians industrialized for the first time and appears to have developed interstellar travel and colonized nearby space. The events of this era and the ultimate fate of this ancient Modian Empire is unknown, with much of the archaeological records apparently missing.

After the complete collapse of this ancient civilization Modia was forced to rebuild its civilization, reverting to an early agrarian society. Modian society was able to successfully reindustrialize during the last millennium, and once again the Modians developed interstellar travel seven centuries ago under the unified government of the first Modian Confederation. It is still unknown whether these ancient Modians had contact with humanity, but their interstellar empire once again collapsed five centuries ago at the height of human civilization. Though the evidence is disputed the fault of humanity in the collapse of the Confederation has become ingrained in Modian society, and many hold xenophobic views against humanity and alien race in general.

Their planets were devastated and their population was nearly brought to extinction, but unlike their Imperial predecessors they were able to preserve their industrialization despite a technological regression. After several centuries of recovery Modians were able to rebuild their society. Under the leadership of the planet's elite they were able to begin the process of reunification during the 2nd Century GC, and in 213 GC the leaders of what would become the Federation Congress reunited their planet as the Second Modian Confederacy. With the invention of the Loviak Wormhole Drive several decades later the Modians were once again ready to reclaim their legacy in the stars.
