Future Milestones:
Even with WWI and WWII, only very small patches of the thin surface of the planet Earth were affected, and entire races carried on oblivious and ignorant to many of these major events. Keep in mind that even when there is a major, pivotal event, many groups and realms will still not know about it, or might see it in a wholly different light.
Also, despite many of the timeline events listed below being relatively negative at first glance, it is important to note that far more 'good' was occurring during these time periods, and that all of the species and societies in question were merely trying to find the food they needed and raise their offspring in the only ways they knew how.
This timeline shows how nearly 100% of every story ever told can be harmoniously fused together into our 'omni-verse' here, with narry but a few minor plot conflicts, which we have already begun to cleverly iron-out, affecting their respective sagas, plots, and characters only in the very slightest and most negligible ways.

2013 to 2517 AD:
2014: Inisfreeans telepathically tell all surviving (spared) humans that their world was trashed much more because humanity obviously did not care enough to maintain it when humanity's own trash was far less. "No more trash is allowed on this planet. Expand accordingly."
2015: RF: Cybernetics slowly begins to re-emerge.
2016: The ash cloud layer starts clearing, humanity's total population is barely holding at 6 million.
- The United Earth Oceans (UEO) founded.
2017: SQ: The SeaQuest submarine is invented to aid in the re-exploration of an Earth once again mostly covered in oceans and deep seas and lakes. The formerly-subterranean super-rivers of Antarctica are the only bodies of water kept off-limits to any and all humans and human-controlled devices.
2018 to 2459: FF: The restored United States and China, the two great superpowers of the Earth, gradually grow back together and form the Anglo-Sino Alliance (though their empires remain separate), rather than killing each other as originally predicted. In a somewhat ironic reversal, the American Empire annexes England.
- The Lassiter, the original handheld laser pistol and forerunner of all later laser technology, is invented. It will one day be universally known for its historical significance.
- A nearby star is located, with a new solar system that is home to dozens of planets and hundreds of moons, almost all of which have enough mass and solidity to be templates for new Earths.
- Through giant atmosphere processing plants, terraforming technologies, gravity regulation, and the introduction of every known form of Earth life, each planet in the system becomes its own little (or, in some cases, huge) Earth, though the process takes decades. All of these worlds are specifically made as close to Earth-That-Was as possible, matching Earth's gravity and atmosphere.
- Humanity emigrates to this new solar system en masse, with every person willing and able to leave the Earth migrating there to colonize its worlds. The journey takes so long that an entire generation never even sees the outside of a spaceship, but the planets are ready for habitation and civilization begins to rebuild.
- America and China work together throughout the colonization process, and their cultures gradually meld at many levels. Over time, American and Chinese culture meld together to the point that English and Mandarin even become integrated languages.
- The two central, major planets that form the Core of this new system are Sihnon (an outgrowth of Chinese influence) and Londinium (an outgrowth of American influence).
- Several other planets in the system are also considered part of the Core, including Ariel and Osiris. Ariel is quite a nice place, by most accounts, with beautiful museums, some of the finest restaurants in the Core, and the opportunity to go hiking or swim in a bioluminescent lake.
- Prostitution is legalized in the form of the Companion Guild, whose registered Companions have great social status conferred upon them--to the point that some planets will not even let a ship dock without a decent Companion on-board. The Guild is organised into Houses (such as House Madrassa, based on Sihnon) run by a House Mistress or House Priestess, who has a say in how Companions conduct their affairs. At a Companion Academy, present and future Companions engage in an intensive--and arguably lifelong--course of study that includes training in seduction, body language, and signals, along with music and rituals such as the Companion Greeting Ceremony, involving tea.
- Companion Guild law stipulates, amongst other things, that Companions choose their own clients from a Client Registry, and no Companion will ever contract with someone who has earned a black mark in that registry. Engaging a Companion is not about sex for money, as there is no shortage of those willing to offer that, so the process is more formal and selective--Companions take their cues from their clients, and are put at ease if they're respectful.
- Guild law also requires all Companions to undergo a physical examination once a year in order to renew their license. Other guidelines include the notion that Companions do not "kiss and tell" about their clients, and a "complicated" policy on dating.
- Humanity continues to spread throughout the system, terraforming and colonizing hundreds of new Earths. Some are rich and flush with new technologies, while others struggle to get by with the most basic equipment, though all are as close to Earth-That-Was as the terraforming process allows.
- Every planet that is terraformed for human life has its own "little quirks," amongst them Bowden's Malady, an extremely degenerative affliction of the bone and muscle that can nevertheless be treated effectively with regular doses of Pasceline D. One planet in the Georgia System, in particular, finds that the air down underground, mixed up with the ore processors, is a perfect recipe for the disease. Everybody in the mining community of Paradiso on that planet eventually comes down with Bowden's, even those who have never set foot in a mine.
- The psychotic dictator Shan Yu, fancying himself quite the warrior poet, writes volumes on war, torture, and the limits of human endurance. Amongst his works is the adage, "Live with a man forty years. Share his house, his meals, speak on every subject. Then, tie him up and hold him over the volcano's edge--and on that day, you will finally meet the man."
- As the Alliance terraforms its border moons, settlers are dumped there with nothing but blankets, hatchets, and maybe a herd. Some of these moons manage to make it, but others end up in bad shape, suffering plagues and famine--though some of the reports of such suffering are exaggerated. This practice of careless colonization is an ongoing problem.

2504: SC: Protoss-Zerg hybrid successfully mass-produced and seeded across the galaxy, expected to be even less manageable than the Xenomorph seeding. Predators are contracted as mercenaries and test-groups against them.
2506: HA: Project Orion is deactivated after failing to meet expectations and to stay under budget. - FF: There is a call for settlers on Miranda, a world at the far edge of the system. Thirty million people settle there, and the Alliance mixes a chemical called the Pax into the air processors in an effort to curb aggression. The chemical is too effective, with the majority of the population becoming so passive that they eventually die. However, a tenth of one percent of the population have the opposite reaction, becoming uncontrollably violent.
- The Alliance sends a team to investigate what happened on Miranda, but they are all killed on the planet. One scientist survives long enough to send a message with their findings, along with a few of the images they had recorded of the dead, but she is killed in the midst of sending the signal.
- The Alliance suppresses the secret of their failed experiment on Miranda, along with any record on the Cortex of the planet's existence. Rumor spreads that Miranda is a black rock, where the terraforming didn't hold, and that just a few settlers died.
- The central planets of the Core which form the Anglo-Sino Alliance decide that all of the settled planets in 34 Tauri have to join under their rule. There is some disagreement on that point. As a result, the Alliance wages the War to Unite the Planets (or Unification War) to bring those planets under their rule, fighting against the Independent Faction, also known as the Browncoats.
2506-2511: FF: Unification War in 34 Tauri.
- Merciless cannibalistic killers known as Reavers begin appearing at the edges of the 34 Tauri system. Not knowing their origins, the general populace comes to think of this as the natural consequence of humanity pushing out farther every year; some men go savage on the edge of space after being too long removed from civilization. They have no philosophy, having forgotten how to be men, and some believe that they became nothingness itself when confronted with the nothing at the edge of the galaxy. However, Reavers are only the stuff of campfire stories to most people, and no Alliance government ever confirms their existence, so many do not believe they really exist. Legend has it that if Reavers take a ship, they will rape its crew to death, eat their flesh, and sew their skins into their clothing --and if the crew is very, very lucky, they will do it in that order.
- Griswalds (grenades the size of a battery, responding to pressure) are used in combat.
- The winter campaign outside of New Kasmir takes place.
- Alliance bio-weapons expert Durran Haymer targets neighborhoods with valuables, wipes out every living soul without damaging the goods he is after, then goes in and takes whatever he wants. Haymer becomes one of the biggest collectors of Earth-That-Was artifacts in the system this way, with warehouses full of items, but his prize piece is the Lassiter -one of only two known to still exist- which he was lucky enough to pick up for nothing. He eventually obtains a private estate on Bellerophon and exhibits the Lassiter in his parlour along with other artifacts from his collection.
- The Battle of Sturges is fought in space, leaving many shipwrecks in its aftermath. It will become notoriously well-known, considered by some to be the bloodiest, shortest battle in the entire war, with many lives "snuffed in a blink." Unbeknownst to the general public, the battle is actually fought over a stash of money.
- Late March:The Battle of Serenity Valley is fought on Hera. It is among the most devastating and decisive battles of the war, as the valley is considered a key position by both sides, and it is bitterly fought over. The Alliance says they are going to waltz through the valley, but the Independent Faction, with sixteen brigades and twenty air-tank squads, do not make victory easy for them, holding the valley against Alliance forces for almost two months.
- Sergeant Malcolm Reynolds is stationed on Hera and in command of thirty-odd grunts, including Zoe Alleyne. Five days into the battle, there are so many officers dead that he commands two thousand, and he keeps all of them together, fighting, and sane. The Browncoats are forced to pile up the bodies of fellow soldiers and friends to build a wall because they have no cover, while blood just keeps pouring out of them. The survivors slip in it half the time, finding out that "bloodbath" is not just a figure of speech.
- Mid-May:Superior numbers and a brilliant deep-flank strategy by General Richard Wilkins begin to turn the tide at Serenity Valley in the Alliance's favor.
- Malcolm Reynolds's unit holds while waiting for air support from the 82nd, which never arrives. As a result, the Alliance overwhelms the battleground with their firepower.
- Nearly half a million people lie dead on the field at the end of the battle, about a third of them on the side of the Alliance; Malcolm Reynolds himself has maybe four hundred grunts still intact. Although the fighting is over, both sides leave their survivors there -wounded and sick and "near to mad as can still walk and talk"- while they negotiate the peace, and those soldiers keep dying.
- After a week of negotiations, a peace agreement is reached, with the Independents surrendering to Alliance forces.
- All of the settled worlds in 34 Tauri are united as a result of the peace agreement and the Anglo-Sino Alliance, which had originally formed on Earth-That-Was, and their collective comes to be formally known as the Union of Allied Planets. It is considered by some to be the dawn of a new galaxy.
Radicals within the Independent ranks dub themselves Dust Devils and keep fighting after their side has stood down, treating civilian militia like they were still soldiers despite not bothering to wear uniforms. Some consider them terrorists who kill a lot of good people, making it that much harder for a unified peace to take hold; but "Dust Devils" is spoken with pride on the rim, where others consider them local heroes or simply "strong-minded folk."
Ten Dust Devils mount an attack on an Alliance tank, though one Alliance soldier can't believe it when their eye in the sky registers only ten hostiles. An explosive is dropped into the tank, blowing it up and throwing Ephraim Sanda clear of the vehicle with someone standing over him.
The Dust Devils eventually scatter, but the Alliance gets a bead on a few now and again, and they want it known that those crimes are never forgiven, so they send former Alliance soldiers turned Special Ops agents, such as Ephraim, to "not forgive". Since these agents consider the Dust Devils to be terrorists and war criminals, the war is not over in their eyes until every last Dust Devil is hunted down and executed.

2511: HA: John-117 is born in Elysium City on Eridanus II.

2014: Inisfreeans telepathically tell all surviving (spared) humans that their world was trashed much more because humanity obviously did not care enough to maintain it when humanity's own trash was far less. "No more trash is allowed on this planet. Expand accordingly."
2015: RF: Cybernetics slowly begins to re-emerge.
2016: The ash cloud layer starts clearing, humanity's total population is barely holding at 6 million.
- The United Earth Oceans (UEO) founded.
2017: SQ: The SeaQuest submarine is invented to aid in the re-exploration of an Earth once again mostly covered in oceans and deep seas and lakes. The formerly-subterranean super-rivers of Antarctica are the only bodies of water kept off-limits to any and all humans and human-controlled devices.
2018 to 2459: FF: The restored United States and China, the two great superpowers of the Earth, gradually grow back together and form the Anglo-Sino Alliance (though their empires remain separate), rather than killing each other as originally predicted. In a somewhat ironic reversal, the American Empire annexes England.
- The Lassiter, the original handheld laser pistol and forerunner of all later laser technology, is invented. It will one day be universally known for its historical significance.
- A nearby star is located, with a new solar system that is home to dozens of planets and hundreds of moons, almost all of which have enough mass and solidity to be templates for new Earths.
- Through giant atmosphere processing plants, terraforming technologies, gravity regulation, and the introduction of every known form of Earth life, each planet in the system becomes its own little (or, in some cases, huge) Earth, though the process takes decades. All of these worlds are specifically made as close to Earth-That-Was as possible, matching Earth's gravity and atmosphere.
- Humanity emigrates to this new solar system en masse, with every person willing and able to leave the Earth migrating there to colonize its worlds. The journey takes so long that an entire generation never even sees the outside of a spaceship, but the planets are ready for habitation and civilization begins to rebuild.
- America and China work together throughout the colonization process, and their cultures gradually meld at many levels. Over time, American and Chinese culture meld together to the point that English and Mandarin even become integrated languages.
- The two central, major planets that form the Core of this new system are Sihnon (an outgrowth of Chinese influence) and Londinium (an outgrowth of American influence).
- Several other planets in the system are also considered part of the Core, including Ariel and Osiris. Ariel is quite a nice place, by most accounts, with beautiful museums, some of the finest restaurants in the Core, and the opportunity to go hiking or swim in a bioluminescent lake.
- Prostitution is legalized in the form of the Companion Guild, whose registered Companions have great social status conferred upon them--to the point that some planets will not even let a ship dock without a decent Companion on-board. The Guild is organised into Houses (such as House Madrassa, based on Sihnon) run by a House Mistress or House Priestess, who has a say in how Companions conduct their affairs. At a Companion Academy, present and future Companions engage in an intensive--and arguably lifelong--course of study that includes training in seduction, body language, and signals, along with music and rituals such as the Companion Greeting Ceremony, involving tea.
- Companion Guild law stipulates, amongst other things, that Companions choose their own clients from a Client Registry, and no Companion will ever contract with someone who has earned a black mark in that registry. Engaging a Companion is not about sex for money, as there is no shortage of those willing to offer that, so the process is more formal and selective--Companions take their cues from their clients, and are put at ease if they're respectful.
- Guild law also requires all Companions to undergo a physical examination once a year in order to renew their license. Other guidelines include the notion that Companions do not "kiss and tell" about their clients, and a "complicated" policy on dating.
- Humanity continues to spread throughout the system, terraforming and colonizing hundreds of new Earths. Some are rich and flush with new technologies, while others struggle to get by with the most basic equipment, though all are as close to Earth-That-Was as the terraforming process allows.
- Every planet that is terraformed for human life has its own "little quirks," amongst them Bowden's Malady, an extremely degenerative affliction of the bone and muscle that can nevertheless be treated effectively with regular doses of Pasceline D. One planet in the Georgia System, in particular, finds that the air down underground, mixed up with the ore processors, is a perfect recipe for the disease. Everybody in the mining community of Paradiso on that planet eventually comes down with Bowden's, even those who have never set foot in a mine.
- The psychotic dictator Shan Yu, fancying himself quite the warrior poet, writes volumes on war, torture, and the limits of human endurance. Amongst his works is the adage, "Live with a man forty years. Share his house, his meals, speak on every subject. Then, tie him up and hold him over the volcano's edge--and on that day, you will finally meet the man."
- As the Alliance terraforms its border moons, settlers are dumped there with nothing but blankets, hatchets, and maybe a herd. Some of these moons manage to make it, but others end up in bad shape, suffering plagues and famine--though some of the reports of such suffering are exaggerated. This practice of careless colonization is an ongoing problem.

As a result, the Alliance wages the War to Unite the Planets (or Unification War) to bring those planets under their rule, fighting against the Independent Faction, also known as the Browncoats.
2506-2511: FF: Unification War in 34 Tauri.
- Merciless cannibalistic killers known as Reavers begin appearing at the edges of the 34 Tauri system. Not knowing their origins, the general populace comes to think of this as the natural consequence of humanity pushing out farther every year; some men go savage on the edge of space after being too long removed from civilization. They have no philosophy, having forgotten how to be men, and some believe that they became nothingness itself when confronted with the nothing at the edge of the galaxy. However, Reavers are only the stuff of campfire stories to most people, and no Alliance government ever confirms their existence, so many do not believe they really exist. Legend has it that if Reavers take a ship, they will rape its crew to death, eat their flesh, and sew their skins into their clothing --and if the crew is very, very lucky, they will do it in that order.
- Griswalds (grenades the size of a battery, responding to pressure) are used in combat.
- The winter campaign outside of New Kasmir takes place.
- Alliance bio-weapons expert Durran Haymer targets neighborhoods with valuables, wipes out every living soul without damaging the goods he is after, then goes in and takes whatever he wants. Haymer becomes one of the biggest collectors of Earth-That-Was artifacts in the system this way, with warehouses full of items, but his prize piece is the Lassiter -one of only two known to still exist- which he was lucky enough to pick up for nothing. He eventually obtains a private estate on Bellerophon and exhibits the Lassiter in his parlour along with other artifacts from his collection.
- The Battle of Sturges is fought in space, leaving many shipwrecks in its aftermath. It will become notoriously well-known, considered by some to be the bloodiest, shortest battle in the entire war, with many lives "snuffed in a blink." Unbeknownst to the general public, the battle is actually fought over a stash of money.
- Late March:The Battle of Serenity Valley is fought on Hera. It is among the most devastating and decisive battles of the war, as the valley is considered a key position by both sides, and it is bitterly fought over. The Alliance says they are going to waltz through the valley, but the Independent Faction, with sixteen brigades and twenty air-tank squads, do not make victory easy for them, holding the valley against Alliance forces for almost two months.
- Sergeant Malcolm Reynolds is stationed on Hera and in command of thirty-odd grunts, including Zoe Alleyne. Five days into the battle, there are so many officers dead that he commands two thousand, and he keeps all of them together, fighting, and sane. The Browncoats are forced to pile up the bodies of fellow soldiers and friends to build a wall because they have no cover, while blood just keeps pouring out of them. The survivors slip in it half the time, finding out that "bloodbath" is not just a figure of speech.
- Mid-May:Superior numbers and a brilliant deep-flank strategy by General Richard Wilkins begin to turn the tide at Serenity Valley in the Alliance's favor.
- Malcolm Reynolds's unit holds while waiting for air support from the 82nd, which never arrives. As a result, the Alliance overwhelms the battleground with their firepower.
- Nearly half a million people lie dead on the field at the end of the battle, about a third of them on the side of the Alliance; Malcolm Reynolds himself has maybe four hundred grunts still intact. Although the fighting is over, both sides leave their survivors there -wounded and sick and "near to mad as can still walk and talk"- while they negotiate the peace, and those soldiers keep dying.
- After a week of negotiations, a peace agreement is reached, with the Independents surrendering to Alliance forces.
- All of the settled worlds in 34 Tauri are united as a result of the peace agreement and the Anglo-Sino Alliance, which had originally formed on Earth-That-Was, and their collective comes to be formally known as the Union of Allied Planets. It is considered by some to be the dawn of a new galaxy.
Radicals within the Independent ranks dub themselves Dust Devils and keep fighting after their side has stood down, treating civilian militia like they were still soldiers despite not bothering to wear uniforms. Some consider them terrorists who kill a lot of good people, making it that much harder for a unified peace to take hold; but "Dust Devils" is spoken with pride on the rim, where others consider them local heroes or simply "strong-minded folk."
Ten Dust Devils mount an attack on an Alliance tank, though one Alliance soldier can't believe it when their eye in the sky registers only ten hostiles. An explosive is dropped into the tank, blowing it up and throwing Ephraim Sanda clear of the vehicle with someone standing over him.
The Dust Devils eventually scatter, but the Alliance gets a bead on a few now and again, and they want it known that those crimes are never forgiven, so they send former Alliance soldiers turned Special Ops agents, such as Ephraim, to "not forgive". Since these agents consider the Dust Devils to be terrorists and war criminals, the war is not over in their eyes until every last Dust Devil is hunted down and executed.
