According to the latter games (intro videos, story itself and encycloedia entries) as well as to the XEncyclopedia website jumpgates were constructed by an ancient civilization.
However according to "X: Beyond The Frontier" Jumpgates were built by the terrans.
If Beyond The Frontier in anyway connected to the other games or is this a seperate but very similar story?

Both is correct. The jumpgate network in the X-Universe was built by the Ancients hundreds or even thousands of years ago.
Totally independent from the Ancient gate network, a Japanese student discoverd the principles of jump tunnels and wormholes on Earth in the year 2022, thus allowing mankind (i.e. Terrans) to build two own jumpgates. These were first positioned in Earth and Mars orbit. The Mars jumpgate was then later "shipped" to Proxima Centauri (the nearest star system). During this estimated 78-years-voyage contact and connection to the Gate was lost. When Terrans tried to re-establish the connection, they connected to a different gate (one of the Ancient's gates) instead.

I believe the Ancients timeline is better measured in millions of years than thousands though, including the gate network (there are way more gates than we can see. They allocated all sentient races their own 'province' of space, and there are lots of provinces, keeping those races that would be unable to comunicate seperate (like they were supposed to keep the Ka'ak and the X races seperate, because they have no hope of communication and thus would wipe eachother out)X2-Illuminatus wrote:Both is correct.
