In addition to major conflicts including the [[First World War|First]] ([[TV]]: {{cs|To the Last Man (TV story)}}) and [[Second World War]]s, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Players (novel)}}) humankind began to explore beyond their homeworld for the first time, and also began to make huge leaps in technological advancement. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Day of the Moon (TV story)}}) It was also during the 20th century that many world governments learned of the existence of extraterrestrial lifeforms. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Storm Warning (audio story)}}, [[TV]]: {{cs|Spearhead from Space (TV story)}}) According to many accounts the general public also learned of alien life, ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Invaders from Gantac! (comic story)}}, {{cs|The Mark of Mandragora (comic story)}}, [[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Dying Days (novel)}}, {{cs|Soldiers from Zolta (short story)}}) although other accounts indicate they remained in the dark about this until the beginning of the [[21st century]].
