Rough, frontier yes, recent no. Basically its a bit of a spin-off from
the
GZGverse in that there was an FTL accident with one of the first colony
fleets and it ended up back in time and a long way away - off the edge
of
Nyrath's map - with different bits arriving at different times at
different
spots (over a few neighbouring systems). In the intervening centuries
between their loss and they're recent encounter with 2180 humanity much
has
changed, wars have happened, societies have formed and tech has
progressed
similarly in some areas and quite differently in others (both within
their
own member worlds and compared to stock standard GZGverse).
