Ok, then what's the earliest date when an adventure can start and still use the entire rulebook? It can't be 2281, because the book says that after Rigel joined the Confederation in 2281, the Videni/Confederation war transpired.
"Just when a period of stability looked hopeful, a new threat emerged from deep space. A series of brutal raids destroyed an Confederation space station and two colony worlds. A new race was responsible—the Videni... Impressed by Videni tactics and recognizing a chance to turn the balance of power, the Zangid formed an alliance with them and waged a new war against the Confederation. However, after a major double-cross on the part of the Videni, the Zangids have again formed an uneasy truce with the Confederation... It is at this point in the game setting that play begins."
So any hints on how long it took for that to resolve?
