Crossfire Timeline

__NOTOC__
The Crossfire Timeline is a separate, non-canon timeline from the Main SapphireFoxx Timeline where the comic series Crossfire and the one-shot animation Crossfire: Odyssey took place. While the early history of the timeline was explained in detail, the events in the two stories took place in the years 4011 to 4012, which are almost two thousand years after the current time period.

The Old World Era witnesses the destruction of Earth, as well as the surviving humans relocating on extraterrestrial land. The Reconstruction Era focuses on the remaining humans' struggle for control over extraterrestrial territory, as well as the formation of the American Federation. The Expansion Era is where the first alien life forms were found, the American Federation was renamed to Sol Federation, and the Colony Wars took place. The Galactic Era has the humans establish communication with alien life and the Galactic Union, the Harvengers enter the Milky Way galaxy, and the Zinarian Empire wage the Galactic Civil War, resulting in the near-extinction of the Zinarian species. The Modern Era is the current era of this timeline, where the remaining Zinarians allied with the Galactic Union to fight against the Harvengers during the Great War, and also where the events of Crossfire: Odyssey and Crossfire take place.
