Timeline

This article features a comprehensive timeline of events in the Sagittarius universe.

## Ancient Prehistory

### 13.6 Billion B.C.E

The Milky Way Galaxy begins to form, stars and planets begin to form in the galaxy.

### 12.6 Billion B.C.E

Archeron forms in the habitable zone around its parent red dwarf, Archeron Prime.

### 7 Billion B.C.E

The Athena system begins to form, Nesta forms in the habitable zone of the system. Trappos also forms around TRAPPIST-1.

### 4.5 Billion B.C.E

Earth forms in the habitable zone of the Sol System.

### 4.1 Billion B.C.E

Ceralis forms in the habitable zone of Ceralis Prime.

## Early Homo Zainus Era

### 250,000 B.C.E

The Homo Zainus Race evolves on Earth, this highly intelligent human species quickly advances past other human species, establishing massive supercities on Earth and discovering faster-than-light travel a mere millennium after it emerged. Colonization begins in surrounding solar systems, but is greatly hampered by the various warring Zainus nation-states on Earth.

### 200,000 B.C.E

The various warring Homo Zainus nation-states unify under a central government known as the "Terran Federation". With peace established on Earth, the Terran Federation begins rapid colonization of the Milky Way Galaxy, expanding in most directions save for the galactic core. Humans by this time have also evolved in Africa, and the race is largely left alone by the Terran Federation, treating them as animals but also looks upon humans as a possible successor race should the Zainus ever go extinct.

### 180,000 B.C.E

The reptilian Sagittari Race evolve on Archeron. They at first advance slowly, being hampered by deep political divisions, with multiple aggressive empires being established on the surface of the planet.

### 160,000 B.C.E

Early humans are given their own sanctuaries in Africa, the Indian subcontinent, and South Asia. They are named "Sapiens" by the Zainus.

### 140,000 B.C.E

The expansion of the Terran Federation largely slows down, and a golden age begins for the Homo Zainus species. Large advances in infrastructure, technology, education, healthcare, religion and science are made.

### 120,000 B.C.E

The Sagittari unite under the Sagittari Empire and start expanding around their home system. Their warfaring culture leads them to become extremely aggressive. Multiple biological weapons are created to cleanse planets for Sagittari colonization, these usually lead to mass extinctions on the planets they're used on.

## Late Homo Zainus Era

### 80,000 B.C.E

A divide begins to rift apart the Terran Federation. Systems closer to Earth are on average becoming richer and richer, with more comfortable lives for their citizens, whilst systems far from Earth are poorer, with lower class citizens slaving away their lives to make meager livings. The rift is small at first, but it continues to grow over time.

### 77,000 B.C.E

The Sagittari Empire collapses into a long series of civil wars between multiple Sagittari factions, revolting slaves, and other oppressed alien races seeking to free themselves of the Sagittari's slave empire. The empire crumbles completely, and Sagittari influence is mitigated to a small region around the Archeron system. The Sagittari Empire is reduced to an interstellar hermit kingdom.

### 60,000 B.C.E

The "Golden Age" of the Terran Federation has ended. The federation has grown increasingly unreliable to solve disputes between the two rising factions that dominate the political atmosphere of the federation. The Republican "Orions" have risen from the richer systems closer to Earth, and seek to create a more perfect democratic union, whilst the Authoritarian "Trappists" have risen from Terra's poorer regions, from struggling workers and civilians who believe in a strong central government to lift them out of their suffering.

### 53,210 B.C.E

The population of the Terran Federation that supports the Trappists have finally reached their breaking point. Revolts in inhabited systems begin around the Perseus Arm and Outer Rim of the Milky Way Galaxy. Seeing that the revolutionaries are fighting under Trappist symbols and using Trappist slogans, the Trappists officially break relations with the Terran Federation, escalating the revolution into a full on civil war. The Trappist Revolutionaries reform into a standing galactic military, begin to construct their own starships, and prepare for secession from the struggling Terran government.

### 53,205 B.C.E

Nearly five years after the declaration of civil war, the Orion faction in the Terran Federation declares the secession of many richer planets and systems as the Orion Federation, a more perfect democratic federation in the eyes of its supporters. Much of the Terran Military breaks with the government and joins the ranks of the Orion Federations newly reformed military. Those who remain with the Terrans find themselves undersupplied and underequipped by a collapsing rump state. Meanwhile, Trappist delegates in the Arcturus star system have declared the formation of the Trappist Empire, a galactic unitary state under an absolute monarchy.

### 53,197 B.C.E

The final remnants of the Terran Federation completely collapse and are occupied. While Earth is annexed by the Orion Federation and is declared the capital of the faction, the Trappist Empire declares its capital to be the prosperous separatist planet of Trappos. Both entities are locked into a galaxy-wide cold war. The Zainus Civil War has begun.

### 53,196 - 52,866 B.C.E

The two Zainus factions begin intense competition for more resources, influence, and control in the galaxy. The Orions expand their federation tremendously, acquiring, terraforming, and colonizing hundreds of systems and integrating them into their federal system. The Trappists also expand, but are forced to quell dissent within their borders. Millions of revolutionaries attempting to either reform the Trappist government, or break away completely are arrested or outright killed. The Trappist Empire also deals with its citizens defecting to the Orion Federation to escape its autocratic regime. Small-scale insurgencies and piracy are plaguing the Trappist controlled systems, and the many emperors and empresses that govern the regime are growing more and more brutal in attempts to win control of the Milky Way. The Trappist Empire is now conducting research on the ultimate weapon, one that will ensure its ultimate victory in the cold war.

### 52,866 B.C.E

A Trappist individual named Hansar is born in the Trappists home solar system. He is born to an aristocratic family with lots of political influence. The mother of Hansar has signed a deal with the Trappists Ministry of Scientific Research to induct Hansar into special research training.

### 52,862 B.C.E

Hansar is inducted into the Trappist Ministry of Scientific Research as the youngest ever initiate, at the age of 4. Outfitted with cereberal implants, Hansar begins learning at a rapid pace, he learns the propagandized history of the Trappist Empire and the Orion Federation, and hatred for the federalist faction grows within the young Zainus.

### 52,852 - 52,848 B.C.E

Hansar, pursuing tons of scientific endeavors, takes an extreme interest in gene manipulation. His knowledge of biology and gene manipulation gets him graduated from the initiate program at the age of 14. Hansar is deployed to many different planets, pursuing further scientific knowledge and experience. He climbs the ranks of the Trappist Empires research programs, and the empress of the Trappist Empire, Corusia, has taken an interest in the rapidly progressing scientist. Hansars father influences his extreme hatred of the Orion Federation around this time, claiming that the only reason the Trappists need to be under an imperial system is because of what the Orions did during the Terran Civil War, a propagandized reality. Hansar also grows to hate the empire itself, but thinks that with the fall of the Orions, the Trappists could transition to a constitutional monarchy. Hansar hated empires, he saw the Orion Federation as one in disguise, and aspired to rid the Trappist peoples of their absolute monarchy. Hansar from a young age, wanted to use his research in biology to create a bioweapon that would destroy the Orion Federation and unite all Zainus peoples under a reformed Trappist Kingdom, that would bring about a new age of galactic unity. His work and delusions of grandeur would eventually result in the deaths of billions of innocent individuals.

### 52,840 B.C.E

The Trappist Empire and the Orion Federation both discover Nesta, an extremely Earth-like habitable planet, at around the same times. With Nesta and by extension the entire Athena system looking to be very promising for both factions, the two hyperpowers sign a treaty to share Nesta and its solar system, declaring open borders to be in the Athena System. Colonization efforts begin on Nesta, with the Orions establishing multiple large cities and facilities. The Trappist Empire, seeing the unmatched biodiversity of the planet, begins a new set of operations to study the local flora and fauna, and manipulate their genes to create a bioweapon. The project is named "Project Corusia", and the regime is now searching for a suitable leader of the operation. A region of promising biodiversity, Solis Peninsula, is being transformed into a scientific and military research outpost.

### 52,838 B.C.E

Hansar has reached a high enough status to be recruited as the leader of the Trappist Empire's operations on Nesta. Hansar met personally with Empress Corusia, and was then sent to Nesta to be placed in command of all the Trappists endeavors on the planet. He was granted the rank of Director of Project Corusia. Hansar begins ordering resource extraction on the surface of the planet, and recruits the empires brightest scientific minds to assist in his new endeavors of gene manipulation and mutations.

### 52,837 - 52,835 B.C.E

The remnants of the Sagittari Slave Empire has been discovered by the Trappists during a routine expansion. After the Sagittari refuse any forms of negotiations, the Trappist Empire chooses to invade the remnant hermit kingdom and subjugate the Sagittari. War is declared, and the Trappist starship fleets quickly invade and occupy several key systems, inflicting huge losses to the Sagittari within a single Earth year. The Sagittari struggle to mobilize their forces and are eventually forced to evacuate all forces to Archeron for a last stand. The buildings on Archeron are made of a previously unknown heavy metal element that is nearly impenetrable even by the Trappists superior weaponry. Despite these setbacks, Archeron is occupied by 52,835 B.C.E and the remnants of the Sagittari Slave Empire are annexed, with the Sagittari race being subjugated. Hansar and an elite team of scientists are deployed on Archeron to investigate the building materials of the Sagittari, and to also investigate a pathogen that the Sagittari had. The pathogen, after being studied closely, is revealed to have a 99.9% lethality rate. After experimentation, Hansar and other elite scientists discover that any survivors of the pathogen are horrifically mutated into violent, black beasts by the pathogen. Hansar is promptly placed in command of Archerons occupation, and is declared interim administrator. Hansar orders the full enslavement, and orders any useful Sagittari scientist and biologist to replicate the pathogen, now named "Nano Corusia" after the empress. The Sagittari building materials are successfully replicated by the Trappist Empire. Archerons population is put into forced labor to extract Archerons resources, replicate the hyper-resistant alloys, and study Archerons native species.

### 52,834 - 52,825 B.C.E

Hansar begins the construction of the enigmatic Corusian Facility on an island of Nesta called Horizon Island, which has extreme biodiversity. The Corusian Facility is constructed using the hyper-resistant alloy replicated from the Sagittari buildings on Archeron. Local fauna of both Archeron and Nesta are brought to this facility and experimented on with the Nano Corusia pathogen. Any survivors that got mutated are then sent to more laboratories on Solis Peninsula for further study and gene manipulation. Finally, a containment chamber for what is meant to be a gigantic organism birthed from the pathogen is being constructed on Solis Peninsula out of the hyper-resistant alloys, a chamber for the bioweapon the Trappists are working towards. Military defense installations including arrays of rockets, plasma railguns, and starship ports are built on both Nesta and Archeron. A particular Rocket Array on Solis Peninsula will serve as the first line of defense against the Orions, essentially, Hansar is planning for war against the federation. However, despite this staggering progress, the Orion Federation caught wind of the activities on Nesta. Negotiations between the two governments led to the Trappist Empire conceding and letting the Orion Federation monitor the Corusian Facility. To the Orions, this facility was simply a research laboratory for the surrounding fauna species. Hansar was furious at the Orions for limiting his activities on Horizon Island. While the Orions were fooled and Solis Peninsula was safe, he was seething with anger that the Orion Federation was inhibiting his lifes work.

### 52,824 B.C.E

At the same time, a close partner and friend of Hansar witnessed the corruption of his partner into a mad scientist hellbent on wiping out the Orions and anyone loyal to them after the regulations started. Hansar was filled with rage, had outbursts of anger in the middle of meetings, and even yelled at the empress once, demanding her to declare war on the Orion Federation once the bio weapon was completed. This stunt almost cost him his rank. Hansar's partner decided that he needed to defect to the Orions and tell them what was happening, and fled across the island under the cover of darkness from the Corusian Facility to an Orion military installation. The defector, upon being interrogated, told stories of the pathogen and bioweapon that his former partner was developing. The Orions, however, wanted proof from the defector. The defector offered to travel on an Orion starship to Archeron, which was to this point uncharted by the Orions. The Orions reluctantly let him commandeer a ship to Archerons coordinates, although they had no evidence of a planetary system ever existing there, since they never even knew of Archerons existence, or the existence of the Sagittari. The defectors' activities were made known to Hansar by Trappist spies that had infiltrated the ranks of the Orion Federation. Hansar learned the code designation of the ship the defector was on, and ordered the various defenses on Archeron to fire on the ship upon its arrival into the planet's orbit. The defectors ship was immediately shot down upon infiltrating Archerons atmosphere. The defector and some crew members survived the crash landing, but failed to communicate back to the Orion territories to inform them of this act of war, because Hansar had activated the planet's inhibitor field; an energy field that blocked any designated enemy signals from entering or leaving the planet's atmosphere. The defector was stranded with what little crew was left, who also didn't trust him at all. Eventually, the survivors got sick from runoff from production of the Nano Corusia pathogen, and slowly began to drop dead over the course of several days. The defector was the last to die, and before he did, he recorded one final log where he reflected on his former friend, the empire he served, and how he finally sees the Trappists and Hansar for what they truly are; imperialist slavers, mad scientists, and xenophobes.

### 52,820 - 52,817 B.C.E

By now, the runoff and byproduct of production of the Nano Corusia pathogen had transformed Archeron into a purple, dull wasteland filled with mutated creatures. The enslaved Sagittari scientists began working on a "kill switch" that would send a signal to systematically kill every last bit of Nano Corusia across the galaxy upon activation. During a routine check-in, the interim administration of Archeron would discover the scheme, and immediately reported it to Hansar. Despite the scientists pleads about how dangerous the pathogen is, Hansar was furious, and seeing the post-apocalyptic conditions of Archeron, decided to simply genocide the Sagittari race, abandon Archeron, and leave its biosphere for dead. Every last Sagittari that wasn't deemed essential, i.e, scientists that could continue producing the pathogen, were murdered over the course of an Earth year. Hansar ordered that any Sagittari scientists and biologists be relocated to Nesta to continue their forced work. Any Sagittari that survived the initial genocide and abandonment of Archeron were doomed to be killed by the Nano Corusia, which by now dominated the planets biosphere.
