The generation 8 or the 8th age won't happen on regular planets, but it will happen here, because to breach the 7 ages the planet must be ascended. Lyranet and the lyran race operate on the 9th layer, or the 9th age of a planet, so this is two ages beyond a normal planet's historical development. The federation operates on the 10 layer, it requires the planet to be ascended and then pass halfway in the its next life for this to be known officially by the population. So joining the galactic federation takes 10 ages, each 26 000 years long in Earth years, meaning 260 000 years before the population can officially be aware of the federation and see that they are being part of an interplanetary, intergalactic society.
