_________________________________

The First Galactic Era
- 13 billion years The First Race creates the Cosmic Forge, and uses it to fashion the known universe. The First are eventually uncreated when The One, the only evil member of the First Race, momentarily gets his hands on the Forge. The Forge then destroys The One, and goes into hiding while the universe burns with “the fires of change”.


The Second Galactic Era
-5 million years Center, on Phase World, is thought to have been constructed. As to whom the builders are, not even the native Prometheans know.

-1 million years Ruins are left on Monro-Tet by an unknown race.

-100,000 years The oldest surviving galactic records are written. Any event prior to this point is lost to conjecture and antiquity. The Three Galaxies are populated at this time by innumerable, god-like beings, collectively called “the Elder Races”.

-50,000 years The War Against the Dominators. The Star Elves, foreseeing that most life in the Three Galaxies will be either extinguished or set back several thousand years, hide away and cloak their planet. The Dominators attempt to circumvent their destiny by killing or subduing all those races that would bring about their downfall. In the fighting most of the Elder Races are wiped out. At the end of the war, a Black Hole Projector destroys the Dominator homeworld.
This is end of the Second Galactic Era.


The Interim
-50,000 to According to the Star Elves, who hid themselves away during this time, the Three
-10,000 years Galaxies becomes populated by monsters and alien intelligences. Of particular note, at least six Splugorth each set up their own empires and take over huge swaths of galactic territory. Four of these continue to exist in a reduced form to this very day.



The Third Galactic Era
-10,000 years Humans arrive in the Three Galaxies when several ships crash on Terra Prime.
The Vaast, a race of evil xenophobes, rule most of the Anvil Galaxy. They are so cruel that eventually their neighbors band together to destroy them. The war lasts 400 years. In a last-ditch effort to save their homeworld, they build and launch the battleship Meganaught.

-5000 years The Kreeghor overthrow their Splugorthian masters and begin the foundations of the Transgalactic Empire.
The Human Alliance is established when the first FTL ships leave Terra Prime and head out into the Corkscrew Galaxy. Humans are fortunate to discover a perfectly habitable planet in orbit of their closest stellar neighbor. It is jokingly named Goldielox, being not too hot, not too cold, but just right.
Center begins keeping a record of all its citizens.

-3000 years The Noro cause the destruction of their interplanetary neighbors, the Ironee. This horrific event changes their entire outlook on life, and they dedicate themselves henceforth to becoming the peacemakers of the Three Galaxies. There are still some Noro renegades, but they are a small minority.
An un-named enemy destroys all but one of the Machine People’s planets. The robots respond by bombing their attackers back to the Stone Age.

-1000 years After centuries of peace, the worlds of the Human Alliance are suddenly conquered by “Network”: a massive, interplanetary AI who enslaves mankind with robotic hordes. The Outer Colonies organize a rebellion to liberate Terra Prime and destroy Network. Thus begin The Automaton Wars.
The goddess Ameratsu teaches the Oni the secrets of technology, and then leaves them, apparently forever.

-800 years The Automaton Wars come to a close when Network’s primary core is destroyed on Terra Prime. Nearly five billion humans have died over the course of the conflict, and many of the innermost worlds of the Human Alliance are devastated. Mankind pledges to never again let self-aware machines rise to power anywhere.
An era of rampant piracy begins across the Corkscrew and Anvil galaxies. Tens of thousands of small, poorly equipped bands of raiders ransack every planet they come across. Many are humans who have lost everything in the Automaton Wars. The bands are highly disorganized, but are so great in number that they collectively inflict a great deal of harm upon their targets.
The Altess Armoria begins the Cipher War, wiping out the piratical League of Blood, who thought to extort great sums of money from the Dynasty. The League is completely destroyed, as are their families and friends. This is the last time that the Altess fleets see action to the present day.

-700 years The Great Meeting. The Human Alliance meets with, and allies itself to, the Noro. This marks the beginning of the Consortium of Civilized Worlds. The new alliance is soon tested by a full-on invasion from the Transgalactic Empire.
The First Great War begins with the Empire and “Dark Tribe” Wulfen on one side, and the Human/Noro/Loyalist Wulfen on the other.

-500 years The First Great War between the CCW and the TGE ends with a treaty signing in the Thundercloud Galaxy. The Lanator Accords, among other things, prohibit the use of Weapons of Mass Destruction within the atmosphere of any populated planet.
With the formal creation of the Consortium, one by one the small pirate gangs which had been operating so freely are hunted down and either arrested, killed, or forced into hiding far from the settled portions of the Three Galaxies.

-450 years The Scramble for the Thundercloud. The Consortium begins aggressively settling this most unexplored of the Three Galaxies, under a policy of “civilizing the stars”. Fearing that they will soon be planetarily outnumbered, the Kreeghor do likewise. Hundreds of millions of CCW colonists flood into the Thundercloud Galaxy, generally upsetting every indigenous culture they come across.

-400 years The Machine Men beg the Consortium Congress to admit them as a member race, and to protect them from Kreeghor domination. But the Human delegates refuse to allow it. They bog the hearings down in endless debate, claiming that these ultra-tech robots will eventually take over the CCW. Finally, the Consortium Prime Minister uses a legislative veto to overrule the Human Alliance, but it is too late. The Machine Men have joined the Transgalactic Empire, having no other choice.
First discovery of a devastatingly explosive crystal substance on planet Kazematt. It is quickly discerned that the Thundercloud Galaxy contains over 80% of all “killaryte” in the known universe. The rush to extract more of this unique substance (for refinement into weapons-grade explosive enhancers) further drives the unabashed land grabbing in the Thundercloud.

-300 years Unknown parties set up a penal colony on Exile-7. It is not long before the prisoners there overthrow the guards. However, since there are no spaceships in the facility, the convicts are stranded. Eventually, a group of powerful mages arrives to take advantage of the planet’s unusual magic fields.

-250 years The Union of Thought, a collaboration of crazed and evil scientists, begins the Voidmaker Project. It is believed that they are trying to build a black hole projector similar to the one that destroyed the Dominator’s homeworld.

-200 years A group of 2000 Kittani starships make a suicide run at Kreeghor-Tet, capital world of the Transgalactic Empire. They are all destroyed before even reaching orbit.

-100 years On planet Good Hope, a revolution begins in the TGE, spreading like wildfire. A Doombringer-class super carrier is captured, and the Free Worlds Council is formed. Soon after, a Kreeghor fleet sent to recapture the planet is met with an overwhelming number of rebel ships. Included among the FWC’s supporters are a great many pirate vessels, which play havoc with the more cumbersome Imperial capital ships. All of the raiders fly the same flag. It is the largest single collection of space pirates seen in over four hundred years.
The T’Zee are granted probationary CCW member status in exchange for their advanced nanotechnology.
Contact with Exile-7 is made by members of the Lohai Mercantilus Union. It is not long before a small spaceport, named Pen City, is established as a stopping off point before ships try to cross the Void Gulf.

-75 years The fighting on Axis-5, a world between the Free World Council and the TGE, begins. Because of the Lanator Accords, and the fact that the Consortium is watching events here very closely, the Kreeghor cannot slag the planet from orbit, and must send in conventional ground troops. The fighting there continues to this day.

-70 years Michael Klass, the Leader of the Free Worlds Council, is assassinated. The Cadre, the elite group that rules the Free Worlds Council, never releases the full details of this incident to the public.

-50 years The existence of the Doombringer-class ships is confirmed by Consortium intelligence agents. CCW scientists begin to design their own “super carrier”.

-30 years Naruni begins strip-mining operations on planet Hydrosphere.
The Bushi Federation joins the CCW, but only out of fear that they will be assimilated into the TGE.

-24 years The Consortium completes the Balanced Hammond Drive, and begins constructing the Emancipation-class Dreadnoughts. These ships are built exclusively within the Human Alliance, at the shipyards orbiting Goldielox. This causes some distress among the other CCW members.
A border war breaks out between the CCW and the TGE in the Anvil Galaxy.

-20 years The CCW/TGE war ends with victory for the Consortium. Several new worlds are liberated from the Kreeghor.
The first Emancipation-class Super-carrier, CSS Emancipation, enters service.

-10 years The Hartigal Combine, a break-away sub-division of Naruni Enterprises, is formed.
Gaus Binjo becomes First Citizen of the Golgan Republik.
