2005 AD | Ruins of Qoarlac'nai ship located in Mare Imbrium by mining surveyor. |
2006 AD | Qoarlac'nai language identified as very similar to ancient Terran languages. Translations begin to immediately accelerate Terran sciences. |
2012 AD | Alien starship enters Sol system, detects use of Qoarlac�nai technology, and exits using FTL drive. Light is visible and mistaken as a flare star. |
2013 AD | Armada arrives in Sol system, and attacks the only habitable world - Earth. |
2014 AD | Terra is overrun by the aliens, hundreds of millions die as the planet is saturation-nuked, but the aliens leave the Moon, Mars, and asteroidal colonies intact. Hundreds of sleeper ships are launched as millions more flee the destruction by trying to escape the solar system altogether. |
2015 AD | The Alien armada leaves Sol system - never to return? Mankind begins to rebuild. The Union of Soviet Canadian and United States (USCUS) is formed to coordinate the reconstruction and rebuilding of the nearly denuded world. More sleeper ships are launched, these ones with a more direct course, various other star systems are identified and targeted for colonization. |
2016 AD | The survivors from Earth are evacuated and the planet is abandoned for a planned fifty years, while information discovered amidst the ruins of the alien spacecraft gives the scientists information with which they develop a macrobiotic spore which will, it is hoped, repair the ecological damage sufferred by the saturation-bombing. |
2017 AD | Lunar scientists discover ways to genetically enhance latent mental abilities. Military minds sieze upon this information and begin experimentation. The Macrobiotic virus is relased into the radiation-soaked atmosphere of the motherworld. |
2021 AD | Mankind receives it�s first signals from another sentient lifeform, a race living around the star system of Andor contacts humanity via a probe which travelled to the Sol System, and had been launched when the alien armada finished it�s attack - the devestation was detected by the Andorians. |
2022 AD | Information supplied by the Andorians enables the lunar scientists to literally �blow off� the radiation from Earth by using massive solar mirrors and a combination of unique radiation-bonding chemicals which are seeded into the upper atmosphere. |
2023 AD | Earth is recolonized. The USCS is in firm command and begins to make massive construction plans for a strong military presence to ensure that man is never forced from his ancestoral homeworld again. |
2024 AD | Farside lunar radio-telescopes detect motion in the very high X-Ray spectrum, motion which they had been advised by the Andorians indicated FTL travel. Two Orion-class ramships are constructed and launched towards the Centaurii system, taking with them over 1,000 genetically constructed super-soldiers. Information supplied by the Andorians indicated that the Centaurii system is a staging ground for invasions by hostile fleets. Their mission "Take the Centaurii system at all costs" |
2052 AD | Armada reaches Centaurii system. War begins. |
2053 AD | Armada surprises hostile alien spacecraft while they are involved in repair and refuelling. Not expecting any STL spacecraft from anywhere, the alien fleet find their weapons to be ineffective against the heavily armored behomeths, and the Human particle cannon, Gauss weapons, and high-energy X-Ray lasers chop the fleet into little pieces. Human scientists aboard the ramships begin to dissect and understand the massive fleetyards that are left, while the �supertroopers� clean-up the region of any surviving hostiles. |
2055 AD | The Ramships are relaunched back towards earth, moving at six times their original velocity. Although not able to use the alien FTL drives, the design does enable the ramships to be propelled much more efficiently. Travel time back to Earth ... 6 years |
2061 AD | Armada returns to Earth as heroes. |
2061-2068 AD | The influx of technology is enough to uplift Sol systm and Humankind to a very high technological status, but corporations and military minds begin to use the high technology for other, more sinister means. A new wave of Colony sleeper-ships are launched to other star systems which have been deemed to have habitable worlds. |
2069 AD | Supertrooper wars begin: Genetic soldiers, constructed by corporations, begin to fight over resources and materials. Other Supertroopers are sent by the military and corporations not directly involved to stop, but only suceed in escalating the conflict. |
2070 AD | Vesta colony is tac-nuked as a last-ditch effort to stop the escalation of hostilities. Forty-six thousand innocents and five thousand troopers die. |
2071 AD | Zachery Foxx born. |
2072 AD | Legislation passed that prohibits corporations from utilising genetic material to construct, enhance, or otherwise adapt humans or meta-humans in any way other than cosmetic. These laws are expanded upon to involve any person. |
2077 AD | Human colony ships land on Alspeth and begin to set up new colony. |
2078 AD | Walter Hartford Born. |
2079 AD | Niko Dal�Ariel born to parents on Alspeth. |
2081 AD | An unexplained attack destroys the entire colony oof Alspeth, leaving only a terrified child to be found by Ariel who brings the infant to the protected world of Xanadu to raise as her own. |
2083 AD | The Bureau of Extra-Terrestrial Affairs is established, based at Cheyenne Mountain, linking the Sol system with the growing ET community at large. United Soviet Canadian States military forces begin work on secret supertrooper programs deep within Cheyenne and Vostovok mountains. |
2084 AD | Supertrooper program begun, raising and training sixty soldiers at the USCS Island Base off the coast of Newfoundland 'Wolf Den'. |
In 2086 (AD) | Two peaceful aliens (ambassadors from the Andorian and Kierwyn races) journied to Earth, seeking our help. In return they gave us plans for our first Hyperdrive, allowing Mankind to open the doors to the stars |
2091 AD | Galaxy Ranger Corps established |
2096 AD | First military supertroopers reach puberty, showing advanced metahuman abilities and vastly superior intelligence. Niko Dal�Ariel applies for and is accepted into the Galaxy Ranger Corps. |
2098 AD | New genetic enhancer developed (Batch 22) that will increase all latent abilities in the Supertroopers, but it is very volatile, causing distortion in the brain, and in many cases insanity. Over the objections of the military Batch 22 is shelved for further testing. |
2101 AD | While all troopers are resting in their quarters, one of the Civillian Military Advisors orders Batch 22 released into the air ducting system. All sixty troopersare in the quarters at the time of the release. Without exception, all are affected by Batch 22, increasing their latent abilities, and enhancing their active ones to incredible levels. Fifty-three of the troopers are rendered unconscious or killed by the enhancer, Six escape, and only Shane Gooseman remains behind to help his fallen comrades. The forty-eight surviving supertroopers are placed into cryogentic suspension so that their abilities are never used. Gooseman is left awake on the assurance that he hunts down the escaped troopers and returns them to Earth for Cryogenic internment. |
2102 AD | Captain Zachary Foxx and his family are en-route to the Kierwyn homeworld when their ship is ambushed in deep space, and in the ensuing battle, Captain Foxx survives - critically injured, along with his children, but his wife is taken to the Crown Empire. A special force of Galaxy Rangers is established by Commander Walsh; this quartet have been surgically implanted with advanced technology to enable them to use their natural talents Captain Foxx is the leader of this team, his injuries healed by a combination of advanced cybernetic and bionic components. |
