The first years of Trill development are referred to as Oras aru'Zentu'il ("Age of Spring" or "Spring Age"), as it was the age when both Trills and Symbionts were born and began to grow peacefully. | The first years of Trill development are referred to as Oras aru'Zentu'il ("Age of Spring" or "Spring Age"), as it was the age when both Trills and Symbionts were born and began to grow peacefully. | ||
As the humanoid Trill began to migrate out from the Mak'ala region thousands of years ago, it became impractical for many to make the journey to Mak'ala to request to be joined. As a result many of the Trill that made the journey to be joined were traveling merchants and traders. Due to the distance from Mak'ala it became common to transfer the Symbiont into someone close to the host when the host died.<ref>[https://ordinal-ember-115916.firebaseapp.com/search.html?key=-O8Iw-1yoIPEnh1bJTiw&ship=Constitution The Underlying Cause], Lieutenant JG Indrid Yirah, {{USS|Constitution}}, 240110.03 </ref> | |||
The Trill started keeping records of joinings in the 12th century.<ref>[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Trill "Trill"], Memory Alpha</ref> By this time many cultures and governments had developed so there were no global regulations over who received the Symbionts. Nepotism was rampant and it became increasingly common for new hosts to reassociate with the partners of the old host, much to the detriment of Trill society. In the 13th century, representatives from each government on Trill met to decide what to do. The result of these talks was the formation of the Symbiosis Commission to regulate the joining process and new laws were put into place regarding joining such as the law banning reassociation.<ref>[https://ordinal-ember-115916.firebaseapp.com/search.html?key=-O8Iw-1yoIPEnh1bJTiw&ship=Constitution The Underlying Cause], Lieutenant JG Indrid Yirah, {{USS|Constitution}}, 240110.03 </ref> | |||
Trill's first contact with alien life was in the early 21st century, when a [[Vulcan]] ship landed, proposing friendship and cultural information exchange. Trill society was deeply divided by this development, with many fearing the outsiders represented a threat to the [[Symbiont|symbionts]]. The ruling council eventually allowed for limited contact with Vulcans, but no other alien races. This first contact also led to increased security around and secrecy regarding the [[Symbiont|symbionts]]. | Trill's first contact with alien life was in the early 21st century, when a [[Vulcan]] ship landed, proposing friendship and cultural information exchange.

Circa 2063, Trill was visited by the L'Dira. Trill's refusal to deal with the unknown race led to an attack on the planet, killing over fifty. This tragic error in understanding convinced the ruling council to increase their knowledge of the galaxy. | Circa 2063, Trill was visited by the L'Dira.

In the 22nd century, Lela Dax became the first woman to be appointed to the Trill ruling council which until that point had consisted solely of joined men.<ref>[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Lela_Dax "Lela Dax"], Memory Alpha</ref> | |||
It is not known when Trill and humans first made contact but Emony Dax is known to have visited Earth in the mid 23rd Century, where she was apparently close to [[ma:Leonard McCoy|Leonard McCoy]]. | It is not known when Trill and humans first made contact but Emony Dax is known to have visited Earth in the mid 23rd Century, where she was apparently close to [[ma:Leonard McCoy|Leonard McCoy]]. |
