Timeline
20th CENTURY
A war was declared between Aerea and Arteck after their leaders accused each other of multiple terrorist attacks. Aerea sent troops across the solar system to set up base on Arteck, and after they refused to back down, Arteck declared war on Aerea.
1939: Start of the Great War
Aerea; Arteck
1942: The Arteckian Chronicles begins
1945: End of the Great War
Aerea; Arteck; Kroni Major
The war ended after Aerea was evacuated due to weapons of mass destruction being produced on Arteck. After the Arteckians founded a temporary corporation which could alter their army to the level of DNA, Aerea decided that it was time to put a stop to the war. 14 incendiary missiles the size of some of the warships were sent out towards Arteck, which then perished in the flames. Shortly afterwards, a seemingly purposefully timed asteroid collided with Aerea, destroying the planet's surface completely. Only two ships from Arteck escaped the flames, and only one from Aerea (which was station on Arteck) survived. The ship from Aerea landed on a nearby moon and then shot down one of the Arteckian ships, damaging the second one. The Aern ship then travelled to Kroni Major to seek help from the wizards.
1960: The Ogres' Uprising
Terra 10
15 years after the Great War, Sector 17 had fallen into serious decline as there was a lack of trade between the planets. The solar system was now only using 4 planets: Kroni Minor, K'Athena, Kroni Major and Terra 10 (now Fu-Sang 5). Ogres on Terra 10 fought the Wizards in a furious battle which lasted 3 months. This crippled the structure of the planet's trade industry and, though the Wizards pulled through, it left all of civilisation on the planet with little to survive on.
1965: The U.P.A. is founded
After the economic breakdown, the Elder Wizards formed the United Planetary Alliance. This was an alliance between the Kroni planets, K'Athena and Terra 10. The U.P.A. aimed to recover the planets' economies and allow the solar system's trade industry to thrive again.
21st CENTURY
2042: SCORPION is founded and begins work
Earth
On Earth, humans start the Science Corporation and begin to work on secret investigations.
2050 - 2052: World War III
Earth
On Earth, after North Korea launched nuclear missiles towards the other nations reported to have nuclear weapons, the continents of North America and Europe banded together to invade North Korea and take down the leader before any more damage was done. Troops from Africa and Western and South Asia were later recruited to fight in the all out war against North Korea. However, it turned out that many of the nations supposedly fighting for the allies were riddled with North Korean spies and so all the attacks fell apart and the world fell into anarchy,
2052: Earth's Evacuation
Earth; Utopia
After two years of hopeless bloodshed, humanity is saved after a ship from beyond their own solar system crashes on their planet. This ship was full of dead bodies - evidently killed before they crashed - and had only one survivor: the pilot. The Pilot, whose name has been kept confidential, was able to build a ship capable of rescuing a few thousand humans from themselves. These 12 or so thousand humans were selected by the Pilot and were seemingly normal civilians. This ship flew back to the Pilot's home solar system and landed on a new planet which was called, there and then, Utopia.
2053: OMNI founded
Kroni Major
Zed Taurus, a 23-year-old Aern, took a small private science company, which had been formed on Aerea, and turned it into OMNI.
2062: Horizon Industries founded
Utopia
A budding young millionaire (Keve Jackson) starts his own construction company.
22nd CENTURY
2100: SCORPION launches hybrid project
Utopia
48 years after safely landing on Utopia, the humans had multiplied and of the 12,000 that had been saved, the population was now over 30,000. Some of these rescued humans were scientists, and so they reformed the Science Corporation and launched a new project which led to the creation of the New Humans.
2110: The Decade of Exploration begins
Utopia
The Humans and the New Humans, on Utopia, had built ships capable of traversing the galaxy; so, they began to explore. They discovered a planet much like Earth, which they immediately colonised and called New Earth. They discovered the barren planets of Aerea and Arteck and decided to avoid them. Towards the end of the 22nd century, they discovered the Wizards on the Kroni planets, and the Dwarves on K'Athena, and agreed to trade with them and live with them, sharing resources and knowledge. This allowed the planets in the U.P.A. to recover. Utopia later became part of the U.P.A.
2120: The Decade of Exploration ends
Thanks to the Dwarves' industrial skills and the Wizards' aptitude for design and architecture, humankind ventured to the very edges of the solar system, colonising Terra 10 and changing its name to Fu-Sang 5. They also discovered the Star Dragons of Draconibus, unbeknown to Wizardkind or the Dwarves. These two planets later became part of the U.P.A. too, however the citizens of New Earth refused to join.
2152: Cold Legacy begins
2185 - 2190: The Four Race War
During the height of the galaxy's trade industry, multiple races rise up against the suppression of humanity. After the events which happened on Utopia 16 years earlier, other races realised that they are being held back by humans. Dwarves and New Humans rose up against humans and Aerns which worked in close alliance with humans. Other races such as wizards didn't get fully involved, but when they did fight, they seemed to be against the humans. This continued for 5 years and almost pushed humanity off their planets. One evacuation plan was to go to Frey, which was put in place as a last resort for humans. Eventually, humanity surrendered and accepted the allegations against their actions. From then on, humans decided to be more respectful of the natives on the planets and released every other race from suppression. This also led to the independence of New Humans.
2199: Freight begins
23rd CENTURY
2200: New Earth Guerilla movement
Kroni Minor; Kroni Major; New Earth
After civilians on Kroni Minor rose up against the building oppression from the U.P.A., the news spread to Kroni Major and eventually formed The Big Fish. When this news hit New Earth, it could not be stopped, and although New Earth is not part of the U.P.A., they still wanted freedom for the rest of humanity on the other planets. So Frostbyte was formed and they started taking down government databases, revealing dark secrets, and eventually uncovering the truth that New Earth had always been part of the U.P.A. Once that was found out, the U.P.A. moved in on the guerrillas and joined forces with Centurion to take down the freedom fighters.
2203: OMNI terrorist attacks
New Earth; Kroni Major; Fu-Sang 5
Multiple terrorist attacks on SCORPION labs had been reported across the solar system, many speculate that these are the result of OMNI's recent gain in power and funding thanks to Zed Taurus' latest sale. However, it is later discovered that The Big Fish were behind the attacks, as OMNI received threats and aggression from the guerrillas too.
2205: War of the Ways
New Earth
5 years after the New Earth Guerilla movement, The Big Fish have a serious dispute with their controllers in Frostbyte. The leading gang members take out their anger and supposed oppression on some of the most secret and vital Frostbyte bases, diminishing the cyber-clan's power dramatically. The authorities from the U.P.A. and Centurion eventually stepped in and took down the Frostbyte bases which were attacked, arresting hundreds of members from both gangs.
21st of December - The Fall of Arkstone
Arkstone, Ava, New Earth |
A year into the war, the magnificent city of Arkstone was engaged in warfare after Centurion and RHINO unleashed their militarism on the city in order to bring down Frostbyte, who were reportedly operating in the area. Arkstone was the most efficient city on the planet, and was powered entirely by renewable energy. Most of the buildings were constructed using recycled materials, and thus the city was extremely clean. When buildings were raided by force in order to track down Frostbyte red poles, the city lost its beauty as 40% of the infrastructure was wrecked in the fire-fight. Frostbyte were no longer being protected by The Big Fish, but the geurrilla clan still fought against the militarism in order to try and weaken them. More than 400,000 civilians were either killed or seriously injured, 40% of the population.
