The Gap

Starfinder occurs in the far future after the Age of Lost Omens, but there's a Gap in the galaxy's history. About 300 years ago, something erased an entire era from memory. Records for this forgotten era simply don't exist. People who lived through the Gap experienced a collective amnesia about its events. Magic can't bridge the broken timeline, and even the gods won't reveal what occurred. During this nebulous time that might have spanned a few years or several centuries, societies changed, the planet Golarion disappeared, and Absalom Station was built with the Starstone at its core. A few years later, Drift travel came to the galaxy, and a new age of interstellar adventure began.
