I am new to this game

Hello community. I am interested in getting started in this game, its history and strategy 4x. But I would like to start in order to understand,
what would be the historical order of the campaign mode that I should play?

I don't know if you mean x in general or just x4. But either way, I would start with base X4. It is so much more fleshed out.

I'm making a bit of interpretation of your question.
The X-series has quite a lot of lore, built up across many, many games. Some of the game mechanics of the older games have not aged well, and some of the graphics of other older games now also look a bit dated, so I won't recommend that you play the older games in order to understand the lore.
Simply know that there is a Commonwealth of Planets made up of non-warring alien races. The Human Terrans stumbled in to contact with this group, while also accidentally unleashing a collection of rogue terraforming vessels which eventually became the Xenon. Because of that, there is some historical hostility between the Terrans and other races. At the conclusion of the X3 games, portions of the jumpgate network were shut down, leading to a shattering of the previous transportation network.

X4 occurs after some of the gates have reconnected, but still shows many of the effects of this shutdown + rerouting of gates.

Starting at the "Young Gun" or "Explorer" game starts should be a good introduction to the current state of the universe.

The Terran Cadet start in the CoH DLC is the best start for very new players. It helps you with a lot of the basic concepts. as you follow the questline.

The Terran economy is simplified so less overwhelming for new players.

Their ships are fairly powerful making combat more forgiving and they don't have enemies waiting to pounce on you in most of their sectors.

Young gun is very much, throw you into the full sandbox and have you figure it out while their are massive wars going on.

my favorite start is Young Gun. Go into flashpoint and wait for the battle to begin then sit on the sidelines and watch as ships start losing shields and hull. comm the ones that are taking serious damage and tell them to surrender. Usually end up with half a dozen abandoned fighters to claim when the smoke clears. Using this method you don't get agro and you don't lose rep.

The best start is the one where you uninstall/refund the game and forget it even exists. Saves you a lot of time and nerves unless you enjoy debugging XML scripts at 2am.
