As time moved even further forward, the network of civilizations began to think about responsibility on an even larger scale.

Earlier generations had focused on protecting planets, ecosystems, and star systems. Later generations realized that their actions could affect entire regions of space.

Large engineering projects were now possible. Civilizations could move asteroids, reshape planetary orbits, and build enormous energy collectors around stars. Some even considered projects that could slightly adjust the movement of stars themselves over millions of years.

Because these projects were so powerful, the review process became even more careful.

Before any civilization began a project that might influence a large part of space, many independent research groups studied the idea. They looked not only at the benefits but also at possible long-term consequences.

They asked questions such as:

Would this project disturb nearby planetary systems?
