Project CHARYBDIS/Void

*Note: All dates are relative, and exact timelines can not be inferred exactly from ancient sources. As a further note, inconsistencies and missing information can and might be found, pending investigation.*
* **Time Immemorial** - It is unknown how long the gods had appeared, but it is likely possible the first gods brought themselves into existence after being merely concepts.
* **Time Immemorial** - Due to information and recorded histories being little to none, it is unknown what had happened between the supposed time of the gods' appearances and the First Black War nor how long have they been in existence, but whatever information that is found had recorded the Pantrokrator Wars or the God Wars. Though scant, it detailed an untold series of wars waged in its name and made mentions of the so-called Archon War.
* **Time Immemorial** - Scarce information found by multi-antediluvian historians, researchers, archaeologists and scientists in the unknown past and later Project CHARYBDIS on Eon-U 15 during its first expedition outside the Void revealed details and recorded histories on the so-called "Final Conflict". Numerous accounts on the conflicting orders of events, individuals and so on were discovered after six months of investigation.
	+ On one account it is said the sole Goddess of Creation had turned all humanity ascended to a much higher state of existence, with all humans who have ever inhabited Earth in every universe existing in balance attuned to her, existing as ineffable and incorporeal beings, with all being one, having no flaws and no longer plagued by demons, feeling only love.
	+ Another account said that Yahweh and Chaos recreated the Omniverse and, alongside the other victorious gods, allowed new blood to take over Creation and rule over it.
	+ Another account was also discovered, but this was dated back to an unknown distant time as well as being extremely reserved. It is said that the war was only stopped after a number of mortals, immortals, gods and others banded together and declared that those who wish to continue the war must first destroy them. Though fragmented, the account later revealed that the conflict had ended through the creation of the Pantheon. An unknown time passed before the gods would finally go to war once more, albeit less brutal and violent and more competitive.
* **Time Immemorial** - For the first time, wars had finally been waged between gods or groups of them, but unlike the previous conflicts this new series was more competitive and more restrained. It is likely possible that the Worm-in-Waiting and the Elder One partake in the conflicts, but that is not confirmed due to the former's amnesia and the latter's voluntary silence on the matter regarding the event.
* **Time Immemorial** - Records on various events especially the pre-First Black War conflicts were found, though such records were numerous. The most notable however were the Creation of Universe HARMONY, the Inhumanity Wars, the Conspiracy's End Incident, the Great Revelation, the Great Discovery, the Great Rebellion and lastly the Great Disappearance. These events predate the formation of the Black Empire and the First Black War.
	+ The Creation of Universe Harmony began with two gods appearing and creating the universe, consisting of a massive galaxy of unknown size. This galaxy was said to have all the celestial bodies of all the galaxies of the universe. After which they created the Great Dragons and the Guardians who would take their place while the two gods reportedly disappear to sleep.
	+ It is unknown what happened in the First Inhumanity War, but it did confirm that the aftermath saw them using a backup to restore everything, only that the newly-restored humans were anything but peaceful. The struggle for survival sets in to be replaced by the first city-states, with human civilization marching towards a path of violence and progress. Also as a result, the mega-galaxy was utterly divided into galaxies.
	+ Conflicting information gathered from Earth-HARMONY confirmed that an event called the Conspiracy's End Incident took place.
		- It is said that an airplane crash-landed on an island which is home to a massive factory where the conspirators construct an army of robots that would set the world to flames. Despite the ongoing conflict and the deaths of various world leaders, the leader of the conspiracy was killed after a standoff with a civilian who was also onboard the crash-landed plane.
		- It is said that the conspiracy groups would find themselves arrested by police forces, supposedly as part of an international manhunt against those who control the world from the shadows.
	+ The Great Discovery took place a few years after the Conspiracy's End Incident.
		- A spaceship landed on an unbelievably magical world where the astronauts discover the Great Dragons who revealed their past and allowed humanity to return to their glorious golden age.
		- Various observatories reported an entity called the Sovereign was located on Mars. After astronauts were sent to interact with IT the Sovereign helped humanity return to their glorious golden age.
	+ The Second Inhumanity War began after eons had passed.
		- It is said that the first troubles began when angels were sent to investigate an unknown anomaly located beyond the mega-galaxy, only returning as fallen angels.
		- The Guardians telepathically or psychically contacted all to converge on Earth-HARMONY.
		- The Inhumanities returned and waged war. Despite their armies standing firm against the eldritch horrors, they were utterly defeated. It was only when that the Sovereign revealed themselves as the Guardians that they reveal the truth and granted them the use of magic. The Inhumanities were indeed defeated, though Earth-HARMONY was utterly broken. Some would gather in North America while the others hid in the other continents, located either underground or on the surface (though rarely).
	+ The Third Inhumanity War began when the Inhumanities began attacking underground settlements. It is unknown what had happened, but it is likely confirmed the Inhumanities were defeated though not yet bruised. It is speculated that a lull in the conflict occur for a long time.
	+ The Great Discovery occur during the conflict's resumption, but likely before it resumed. Information is scarce due to it being a taboo. Covert diggings by Project CHARYBDIS and the declassification and release of all recorded materials made by the Black Empire and later the Guardian Council had completed the puzzles. The Great Discovery was the name of a program resulted by the proto-Black Empire that seeks to combat the Inhumanities. Due to refusals by both the proto-Imperials and the Guardian Council to stand down and submit to each other, however, the Great Rebellion was sparked after the latter banned the newly-made discoveries. The resulting conflict the proto-Imperials and their allies defeated and stripped of everything they once have - technologies, the means to support an entire war effort and so on.
		- The Great Discovery had seen numerous innovations made by the proto-Imperials and their few allies. Such innovations and discoveries, if properly used into effect by the Guardian Council, would have allowed humanity and their allies
			* Among the innovations were a much more advanced form of magic whose codename was merely "THAUMATURGICUS", of which the name *thaumaturgy* came from. Unlike magic, this advanced form of magic allows to bend reality.
			* Among the innovations were highly-advanced technologies that incorporate thaumaturgy and the anomalous into their designs, called paratechnologies.
	+ Through secret negotiations Project CHARYBDIS acquired information on an event after the Great Rebellion, known only as the Great Disappearance. According to eyewitnesses, interviews and recorded information gathered, the Great Disappearance occur several months after the proto-Imperials and their allies were defeated by the Guardian Council, who stripped them of their industrial, military, economical and political capabilities and tasked several worlds and nations with ensuring the proto-Imperials and their allies won't ever wage war once again not develop thaumaturgy, paratechnologies, et cetera. The injustices against them had turned the proto-Imperials dark and hostile, desiring nothing less than the complete enslavement or extermination of all heart-holders, inhumanities included. According to research institutions throughout the universe, magic and scientific instruments went haywire for five minutes before stopping; not long after observatories and deep-space satellites detected several voids, few larger and many smaller or moderate in size, and ships near them reported only ghostlight, emitted from the now-vanished stars. What made it scary, however, is that none of the planets remain. As a result, the event would be known as the Great Disappearance and the Quiet Rapture. Unbeknownst to all, the Worm-in-Waiting had taken the proto-Imperials and their allies out after it asked them what they wanted, culminating in the Great Disappearance.

#### First Black War to Celestial Sundering

General Timeline of Events

*Note: All dates are relative, and exact timelines can not be inferred exactly from ancient sources. As a further note, inconsistencies and missing information can and might be found, pending investigation.*
* **Time Unknown** - The Black Empire, a militaristic human empire created in the Void after the [DATA MISSING], conquered the first several 'verses. Utilizing thaumaturgy and paratechnology the Imperials managed to take over multiple worlds and kept all unaware of what had happened. It is said that **His Imperial Regency, the Grand Admiral** stood before his legions and, using his newfound powers, reached to the stars to gather thirteen stars - eight orange, four red and one blue - and crafted them into a thaumaturgical artifact known as the Black Crown.
* **Time Unknown** - After the conquest, Imperial thaumaturges and soldiers raided every magi citadels, demonic forces' lairs and even each 'verse's afterlife to gather whatever information they could find, then use the powers that had been hidden for the Black Empire to use. At the same time, both the forces of good and evil were forcibly conscripted and sometimes enslaved into the Imperial armies and fleets. Those that resisted were either killed or enslaved, their cultures twisted to fit the Imperials' vision. Several more conquests of multiple other 'verses occur, unbeknownst to all but a few. This continued for a few more centuries before stopping in order to consolidate and prepare for the war. During this time, the Black Empire made alliances with few or several dark gods and even a few light gods; conflicting information also details a few neutral ones agreeing to supply the Imperial war effort.
* **Time Unknown** - After two centuries of preparations, the Black Empire made its first move. Utilizing the thaumaturgical aspects of their artifacts and the Black Crown to enhance their own military might, the Black Empire began conquering sleuths of 'verses and enslaving all those who resisted in what would become the Black War. Those who resisted were conquered and either destroyed or enslaved, while those who saw the Black Empire's might as something they wish to emulate or avoid provoking immediately saw them declaring their loyalties and allegiances to the human empire.
* **Time Unknown** - The Black Empire's conquests alarmed the gods, who scrambled to assemble their armies and meet them in battle. Yet, when they arrived to do battle, the Imperials slaughtered their forces wholesale while gods who fought **the Grand Admiral** were either maimed and severely injured or even killed, resulting in the slain gods to reconstitute themselves, in the words of one Project CHARYBDIS researcher, "go to bed and then come back stronger."
* **Time Unknown** - Universe HARMONY, from which the Black Empire's ancestors once hailed from before the Worm-in-Waiting took them away, became subject to an Imperial invasion. Both the Inhumanities, humanity and the Sovereign Council find themselves caught unprepared by the Empire's onslaught, which razed many worlds before retreating. According to legends, **the Blue Sovereign** discovered that her former friend and ally, **the Grand Admiral**, led the assault and massacre before ordering the invasion force to retreat, leaving almost 90% of Universe HARMONY's worlds devastated. During this time, the Black Empire made sure to consolidate its worlds, which were then colonized by Imperial military, aristocratic, religious and common settlers. The first of the soldier-peasant colonial communities soon formed there.
* **Time Unknown** - In a meeting with the gods, the Guardian Council and the Inhumanities in the Pantheon, **the Blue Sovereign** confirmed that the man leading the empire was none other than her former friend and ally, and stated her intentions to confront him and talk him out of his war against them. Most gods reluctantly agreed.
* **Time Unknown** - An Imperial armada, led by **the Grand Admiral**, began assailing the Pantheon. While the Pantheon is ready for an assault, the Black Empire's use of multiple magical spells helped shatter the defenses. During the battle, **the Blue Sovereign** confronted **the Grand Admiral** and managed to successfully talk him out of the war. Unbeknownst to her, he has no intentions of ending the war, and when her guard is down he used his powers to impale her with multiple thaumaturgical spears and lances, to the horror of the Guardian Council. The retraction of said thaumaturgical polearms that pierced her body caused even more damages to her, forcing several members of the Guardian Council and a few gods to bring her out of the battle. A second Imperial armada helped surround and impose a nullification field around the Pantheon and began deploying troops to invade it. The defenders fended off their Imperial assailers for a few weeks until **the Grand Admiral** himself led the assault and shattered the remaining defenders. The Black Empire's thaumaturges gathered whatever information that survived the onslaught, and destroyed the rest.
* **Time Unknown** - Using knowledge gained from the Pantheon, the Black Empire continued its onslaught upon all the 'verses, either annihilating or conquering them. This continued for many centuries or even millennia. Every culture were either destroyed, assimilated or in some cases allowed to exist so long as they serve the Imperial state. History was either warped or destroyed during this time. The Black Empire has also developed eigenweapons capable of mass destruction of an unprecedented scale, and were then used to destroy multiple 'verses outside of the Imperials' reach.
* **Time Unknown** - **The Elder One**, the more temperate, humble and patient brother of the Worm-in-Waiting, appeared before the gods and gave them a solution and a plan to end the war. Most gods were hesitant, but **the Blue Sovereign** vouched for **the Elder One**, and so the gods agreed to do so.
* **Time Unknown** - Following the directions given to them for the plan by **the Elder One**, the gods made sure to deprive the Black Empire of its victories by evacuating everyone and directed their forces, augmented by countless mortal armies, to perform holding actions. **The Elder One** has bestowed powers of unimaginable scale to its knights and champions, dubbed **the Knights of the Void**, to do battle with **the Grand Admiral and his Imperial Knights**, even leading small armies and fleets capable of holding or even stopping Imperial offensives to a grinding halt.
* **Time Unknown** - After a few more centuries, the plan has been spring upon the Black Empire. Establishing 30km tall silver towers on multiple worlds, the Black Empire's forces inadvertently destroyed several of them, causing a chain reaction that resulted in a massively empty prison-like dimension being created and the Black Empire and the Worm-in-Waiting being sucked into it. Worlds that had been far too gone to save were also sucked into said dimension, while those that were heavily corrupted yet saved were ultimately purged of the Imperial taint. After the dimension closed itself on the Black Empire, the gods, the Guardian Council and **the Blue Sovereign** converged around **the Elder One** and asked what it will do now, with it responding: *"I have already anticipated that some or most of you wanted me gone. And you were right that you wanted me gone, because I have also thought that I would be gone from all of you, from all of thine 'verses. I will create a Drifting World, where a gate leads to a dimension I will slumber in, which you will launch out of this place if you would, if you would let me."* After the gods discussed on their decision, most agreed to let it do so. Upon this, **the Elder One** created the Drifting World and a human-sized gateway, upon which it enters. Then, **the Blue Sovereign** sent the Drifting World away, drifting through, across and around 'verses. However, the damages inflicted by the Black Empire led to evil becoming prevalent, allowing the dark gods to have some place in the post-war times. The most damaging of all, however, is the loss of the Pantheon, which had been sucked into the prison dimension; with its loss, the gods were utterly divided on what to do, resulting in them focusing on other things they matter most. Some gods still remain friends albeit estranged. It was at this time a new age/epoch was named to signify the end of the Golden Age and the start of a broken age, **the Age of Ashes**, sometimes known as **the Broken Ages** and **the Ages of Broken Dreams and Ashes**.
* **Time Unknown** - Many of the Black Empire's allies and allied gods had either hid alongside their forces from the rest of the gods or ran away, while few who had anticipated this immediately jumped ship. Meanwhile, the Black Empire and the Worm-in-Waiting, reeling with rage, began preparing for a Second Black War. Using the knowledges gained from their conquests, the Black Empire began arming itself for the Second Black War that would soon to come.
* **Time Unknown** - The gods and mortals began rebuilding, though the former were disunited. The resulting division led to conflicts among many gods, with some either going neutral or still working together to ensure that they will regain the Golden Age. It was during these times that the Black War, the Black Empire and the actions of the **the Elder One** that helped stopped the war immediately became myths and then legends, buried by the sands of time and untime.
* **Time Unknown/-200 BCS** - The gods converged once more to create a mega-galaxy, a universe the size of untold 'verses (though not enough to outnumber multiple more that had been created by the gods) in an attempt to recreate the Golden Age. There was initially success. Unbeknownst to all, the mega-galaxy was built upon, below, above and around the dimension that held the Black Empire and its wretched god prisoner.
* **Time Unknown/Over -150 BCS** - Conflict began to arise between multiple gods, sometimes factions of gods. Many staked claims on parts of this mega-universe while others worked together to claim territories. A neutral faction of gods led by Yahweh, Bathala, Amaterasu Omikami, Baldr, Quetzalcoatl and Chang'e attempted to mediate the now-growing conflicts.
* **Time Unknown/Around -1 BCS** - The conflicts escalated to the point most of the gods began tearing at the fabrics of the mega-galaxy's reality and unreality, with the neutral god faction attempting to save as many lives as they could while still attempting to deescalate the situation. However, the mega-galaxy became undone when the individual gods and multiple factions ripped it apart, causing a cataclysmic apocalypse that sundered the rest of the mega-galaxy as well as its reality and unreality apart, bringing forth the Celestial Sundering.
* **Time Unknown/Around -1 BCS** - At the same time, the Black Empire was able to breach the prison dimension. **The Grand Admiral** was heard by few but not all gods to say: *"THIS IS IT! OUR REVENGE HAS COME! WE SHALL SHATTER THEIR WORLDS ONCE MORE AND BRING THEM ALL TO THEIR WRETCHED KNEES!"* The moment **the Grand Admiral** turns his attention to the 'verses is also the moment that the mega-galaxy was shredded. The resulting cataclysm saw the Black Empire's peoples being shredded to nothing more than noospheric forms and **the Worm-in-Waiting** becoming shattered, while its worlds eventually shattered into rubble and debris and remnants.
* **Time Unknown/Around -1 BCS** - The Celestial Sundering that occurred immediately saw multiple 'verses and worlds being sucked into it, discriminately and indiscriminately. The newly-formed dimension had also sucked in the many afterlives. Attempts to evacuate saw all the mortals and immortals being sucked into it, condemned to be alone. All the gods stopped what they were doing and immediately began attempting to save what they could save, but not all were saved. Attempts by the gods to seal it failed several times before finally succeeding on the next try, unaware of the fact the new dimension sealed itself.
* **Time Unknown/Around -1 BCS** - Many of the gods began turning on each other and either ended their friendships or made new alliances with others. The neutral faction of gods was also shattered but not divided, with many within wanting to know what to do. Yahweh, who was hit the hardest after being unable to save many more, immediately told his friends that he must go. Despite objections from his son Jesus Christ and brother Bathala, from his friends Amaterasu, Gnostica and Zalnastius, and even from his students and his son's students, Yahweh sent himself into exile to reflect what he should have done to prevent such a terrible event.
* **Around -1 BCS/0 ACS** - Within the Void, the mortals, immortals and agents of the gods despaired at having been abandoned and unable to be saved by their gods. Prayers were made for the gods to hear only to be left unanswered. It was then that their prayers were answered, but not what they had expected. **The Worm-in-Waiting**, which had been shattered paradoxically and anti-paradoxically and then reformed, appeared before them. Now with amnesia, having lost all its memories before the devastation wrought upon by the Celestial Sundering, the Worm took pity on the mortals, immortals, gods and agents and asked what they want. They made a simple request: *"We ask for salvation from the despair and doom we are now in."*
* **0 ACS** - At their request, **the Worm-in-Waiting** used its powers to create new star systems, galaxies and worlds and gave them to the doomed mortals, immortals, gods and agents to reside in. At its request, the gods (especially the planetary, regional, local and galactic) were to help guide the doomed mortals and immortals either from the shadows or publicly; most decided to rest and slumber. Lastly, the Worm-in-Waiting bestowed immortality upon the mortals and immortals, becoming the first voidwalkers, the first of the *Homo inanis*. Outside the Void, the conflicts between multiple gods as well as conflicting factions became known as the **Age of Night**.

#### After the Celestial Sundering

General Timeline of Events

* **Around 6,000,000-10,002,000 ACS** - The first recorded histories were made by surviving civilizations. Nations rise and fall at this period, with many rewritten or destroyed.
* **Around 6,000,000-10,002,000 ACS** - Somewhere around this time, multiple religions such as Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hellenism, Aztecism, Shintoism and Daoism began to sprout up across the Void. Void-borne religions such as the insignificantly-small Cult of the Loop appeared.
* **Around 10,002,000 / 2000 ACS** - Civilizations throughout the various worlds began to rise through either conquest, alliances or peaceful unification. The civilizations soon became nations. Among these nations were the International Union of Armanya in Armanya/Luna III, the Greater Novayan Empire of the Novayan Nation in Novaya IV, the New Roman Empire in Sol III, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in Earth/Sol III, the Federation of Saiyanese Nations in Saiyane III, the Kingdom of Logres in Logres III, the Seleucian Empire in Seleucia III, and the Sarakan Empire in Saraka IVa. These nations soon ascended into space. The Greater Novayan Empire was eventually transformed into the Greater Novayan Federation.
* **Around 10,002,100-700 / 2100-700 ACS** - After the Greater Novayan Federation began conquering worlds and enslaving or exterminating non-humans, undesirables and humans with genetic defects, **the Worm-in-Waiting** appeared for the first time and intervened in the interstellar holocaust by causing the Great Sundering, an event which saw Novayan worlds experiencing natural disasters that utterly crippled the GNF. At its demand, the Greater Novayan Federation Council convened for the last time to decide what reform it would take. After returning from a non-violent military pacification campaign in a star sector, General Daladier Norsoutha and his long-time friend, Lieutenant General Shigeo Tomoshima, submitted the Norsoutha-Tomoshima Manifesto to the Worm-in-Waiting, who upon reading it gave it its most high approval. The Norsoutha-Tomoshima Manifesto was immediately ratified by the Federation Council, resulting in the transformation and reformation of the Greater Novayan Federation into the Novayan Stellar Commonwealth, a federal parliamentary hereditary military dictatorship. Reforms were made to transform the GNF Armed Forces into the NSC Armed Forces, while the Norsoutha and Tomoshima families wedded each other in order to become the Norsoutha-Tomoshima family.
* **Around 10,002,100-700 / 2100-700 ACS** - The Federation of Saiyanese Nations, after a long period of economic stagnation, began rescinding many democratic elements of society in favor of the establishment of a hereditary oligarchy. Democratic elements such as voting still takes place, but the Saiyanese Federal Council immediately holds the power. Lastly, the FSN transforms into the Saiyanese Stellar Federation.
* **Around 10,003,000-900 / 3000-900 ACS**
	+ After the absence of Yahweh, his students began interpreting what their teacher taught them to. The most notable of all, however, is the overt glorification of suffering. While Yahweh taught his students to only allow the suffering of those in order to allow them to know where they had gone wrong and even allowed a measured glorification of suffering (one that needed to change a person's perspective) in order to be one with Yahweh, some or most of his students took it too far.
	+ Amaterasu Omikami left alongside Bathala, Jesus, Kthanid, Cthulhu, Lucifer, Zeus, Odin, Thor, Tlaloc, and Quetzalcoatl to find Yahweh.
	+ **The Blue Sovereign** visits **the Elder One** within its Drifting World's dimension to let it know of what had occurred.
* **Around 10,005,000 / 5000 ACS** - Discovery of LOI-000 - "The Ruined Pantheon"
	+ **004 ACS** - A few International Union ships sent to explore interstellar regions to prospect worlds deemed for colonization efforts discovered a massive, ruined ancient structure orbiting a planet. After exploring the structure for a bit, the prospectors contacted the International Union Paranormal Forces Coalition to report on the massive structure they found. Paranormal Forces Coalition ships were deployed to help investigate.
	+ **012 ACS** - The January Commission, led by Dr. Richard Johnson, was established by the Paranormal Forces Coalition High Command to begin investigating the newly-designated LOI-000, with its objectives being to study and catalogue ancient/antediluvian artifacts, anomalies and records.
	+ **046 ACS** - The January Commission was dissolved alongside Project PHANTOM (a group commissioned to study the Ethereal Fortresses (LOI-456)), Project CELESTIA (a group commissioned to study the Celestial Temple (LOI-547)), Project TOWER (a group commissioned to study the remains of multiple broken towers (LOI-1327)), Project EUPHEMIA (a group commissioned to study the fragments of a piece of reality and unreality)), Project ATLAS (a group commissioned to study replicas of an artifact known as the Black Crown (BLACK CROWN Anomaly)), Project AUTOCRAT (a group commissioned to study a star system known as the Atlas Borealis system (SSOI-32)), and the Denver Commission (a group commissioned to study ancient weapons of war (AOI-135)) and reorganized as Project CHARYBDIS.
	+ **059 ACS** - Project CHARYBDIS discovered an access point into the Celestial Temple, discovering its chrono-frozen 1,000,000-3,000,000 inhabitants as well as a still-alive goddess known only as Sagittarius.
		- After a meeting with Project CHARYBDIS Leadership, it was decided that the thawed inhabitants and goddess of the Celestial Temple will be allowed to colonize the world it orbited, the boreal world of Atlas Talura III, in the Atlas Talura system.
	+ **076 ACS** - Project CHARYBDIS discovered an access point into one of the Ethereal Fortresses, discovering knowledge on deactivating the nigh-impenetrable fortress structure. Several Ethereal Fortresses that had been opened were revealed to have military personnel from a bygone age. A tense confrontation between Project CHARYBDIS and the Ethereal Fortress personnel cooled off after the latter realized they are from an interstellar nation, though shaken upon discovering their saviors and rescuers were voidwalkers and the fact the Worm-in-Waiting is also present albeit without its pre-Celestial Sundering memories.
		- The Crusader Commission was eventually commissioned to help restore the Ethereal Fortresses, with the surviving personnel aboard several of them serving as the core of the group's restoration efforts.
	+ **098 ACS** - A much larger Ethereal Fortress, hidden from the others, was eventually discovered. Exploration of the facility discovered at least a hundred thousand inhabitants, chief among them the King Oreprix Agorius (real female name: Oreprixia Agoris) of the House of Constantine, the Demon Knight St. Alderann Ogier, several Bigfoots, four Lesser Demon Knights, and the Emperor Athar Ozadore (actual female name: Qadrisse Orufaris) of the House of Constantine.
		- The Crusader Commission, operating under the aegis of Project CHARYBDIS, incorporates the Ethereal Fortress (codenamed *Blood-Throne of Redemption* and then *Bleeding Throne of Constantine*, later the *Bleeding Throne of Redemption* and now the *Throne of Constantine*) into its catalogue.
* **Around 34,006,450 / 6450 ACS** - The discovery of the Temple of the Worm-in-Waiting
	+ **450 ACS** - The Novayan Admiralty Office for Paranormal Affairs discovered the Temple of the Worm-in-Waiting, and sent an expedition to investigate it.
	+ **450-55 ACS** - The discovery of several recorded artifacts and histories related to the Golden Age. NAOPA researchers were unsure on what **the Golden Age** is about.
	+ **468 ACS** - NAOPA researchers discovered the existence of artifacts dating back to the **Age of Ashes**.
	+ **469 ACS** - NAOPA sent the acquired artifacts back to Novaya IV for further studies, culminating in an advanced paraweapons research and development program.
	+ **475 ACS** - The first use of the *Arclite*-class artifacts took place in an NSC-aligned nation during its civil war. When the Paranormal Forces Coalition caught word of this, the International Union Parliamentary Assembly authorizes the PFC Council and High Command to commence research and development of **Golden Age-era** and **Ashen Ages-era** artifacts acquired from the Celestial Temple, Ethereal Fortresses and LOI-000; use of such weaponized artifacts is allowed only for self-defense and as a last resort. Overseeing the advanced paraweapons research and development program was Hectorina, the Paradise Guard of Emperor Athar Ozadore.
* **Around 46,517,000 ACS** - The discovery of the Labyrinthe World of Exaltis
	+ **006 ACS** - Project CHARYBDIS, NAOPA, the New Roman Empire's Imperial Roman Institute of Anomalous Investigations, and the Saiyanese Stellar Federation's Federal Commission on Anomalous Occurrences separately discovered the ancient Labyrinth World of Exaltis and launched expeditions.
	+ **039 ACS** - All parties discovered each other and encountered an expedition belonging to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics' Military Inspectorate Department "P", the New Russian Empire's Tsars' Council of Seers, and the Charybdis Organization, almost resulted in a near-armed conflict.
	+ **048 ACS** - The discovery of multiple towers in Exaltis leading underground led to the discovery that Exaltis was, in reality, a world-like facility. All parties agreed to stay quiet and kept their leaders notified of their reports and discoveries.
	+ **048 ACS** - Initial attempts to discover what lies inside Exaltis ended with half or most expedition members being lost to the ever-shifting, ever-changing rooms and architectures. All exploratory attempts were aborted, with unmanned exploratory attempts to commence within three years.
	+ **051 ACS** - Unmanned exploratory attempts began, with some or most exploratory drones being lost.
	+ **054 ACS** - Project CHARYBDIS discussed with the Celestial Temple's and Ethereal Fortresses' inhabitants on the existence of Exlatis and its purpose. Many were quite. After several tries, King Oreprix Agorius explained that Exaltis was created to house the remnants of a defeated empire in ages past as well as horrors created by said defeated empire. Upon being warned that deep within the bowels of Exaltis lies a central chamber that is home to a monster of unprecedented proportions, with a clear warning not to awaken it. Project CHARYBDIS personnel were provided a newly-crafted thaumaturgical mirror designed to look into the horror through the outside chamber walls. King Oreprix herself also confirmed that parts of the interiors of Exaltis was designed to have distorted realities and locales with inconsistent spacetime.
	+ **068 ACS** - After years of planning, the Exaltis Initiative launched a mission to deactivate the ancient thaumaturgical and para/technological systems that caused the rooms, passageways, hallways and corridors to shift. Using information found aboard the *Bleeding Throne of Redemption*, the Exaltis Initiative was able to plot a course into the control chambers and, using newly-advanced paratechnologies, is able to shut down the shifting structures.
	+ **069 ACS** - The Novayan Stellar Commonwealth, Saiyanese Stellar Federation, New Roman Empire, New Russian Empire, Continental System, Imperial Coalition and Greater East Void Co-Prosperity Sphere, upon learning of Exaltis' shifting structures being shut down, launched an assault on Exaltis to storm the central chamber despite the Exaltis Initiative's warnings. The assault became a multi-sided conflict, with members of the Exaltis Initiative being caught in the crossfire. Eventually, the central chamber was accidentally breached after a stray rocket-propelled grenade hits it. The resulting breach led to the ancient horror - one that bore resemblance to a Voidbeast albeit much stronger and more chaotic - unleashing attacks on the unexpected assaulting forces.
	+ **069 ACS** - King Oreprix was notified of the situation and ordered the *Bleeding Throne of Redemption* to mobilize. The ancient horror, joined by four more ancient horrors and hundreds of halberd-wielding armed military officers bearing resemblance to the Novayan Guards Executioners (albeit with blood-red and dark-red sigils identifying themselves as being from an unknown faction), slaughtered most of the assault teams and did battle with the forces of the *Bleeding Throne of Redemption*. The battle ended when the **Worm-in-Waiting** intervened and demanded a halt to the battle. The ancient horrors and the halberdiers knelt down in reverence towards **the Worm**, who then annihilated the assaulting forces' flotillas and squadrons. Furious at being disturbed by the chaos, it granted the Exaltis Initiative its ordination to ensure that Exaltis is to be placed under its watch and allowed Project CHARYBDIS to perform research. Soon it forced the surviving assault forces into the Initiative's mandate and demanded the ancient horrors and halberdiers to serve both the Initiative and Project CHARYBDIS immediately.
* **Before 5,003,218,509 / 3,218,509 ACS** - Project CHARYBDIS began expanding its operations throughout the Void. In collaboration with the Charybdis Organizaton, Project CHARYBDIS began uncovering multiple anomalies, locations, artifacts and civilization ruins. Breakthroughs in studying the anomalies under its purview were recorded.
	+ The discovery of Castle Langley, whose study is undertaken by the newly-commissioned Project CASTLE BRAVO.
	+ The discovery of Tenoro Kalaidis IV, whose **Golden Age-era** archaic medieval civilization study is undertaken by Project CHARYBDIS.
	+ The discovery of a continental world, whose mixed-tech civilization (consisting of those from classical antiquity, medieval ages, early modern age, modern age and interplanetary age) was studied under the close supervision of Project CHARYBDIS.
	+ The discovery of a tomb world, whose ruined civilization dates back to the **Golden Age**.
	+ The discovery of three worlds, whose civilizations date back to the **Age of Ashes**
* **5,003,218,509-5,086M120 / 3,218,509-86M120 ACS** - The First Void War
	+ **3,249,687 ACS** - The Ethereal Fortresses were activated for the first time.
	+ **3,249,688 ACS** - Worlds colonized by the inhabitants of the Ethereal Fortresses and the Celestial Temple under the purview of Project CHARYBDIS saw heavy security measures implemented to ensure none of the non-neutral nations attacked the International Union.
	+ **3,250,115 ACS** - The first of the new Ethereal Fortresses were commissioned and activated.
* **5,086M170-240 / 86M170-240 ACS** - The Great Crisis began after Novayan banks experienced a major fall in stock prices, shattering the NSC and in turn the Void's nations economically. As a result of the International Union experiencing an economic collapse, the Paranormal Forces Coalition is forced to scale back most of its fundings. Project CHARYBDIS was badly affected and almost shuttered most of its forward operating sites before the Celestial Temple-administered Atlas Talura system, the *Bleeding Throne of Redemption*, and the multiple worlds under the protection of Project CHARYBDIS and the Paranormal Forces Coalition offered to fund their operations. After debating on this, Paranormal Forces Coalition High Command and Council authorized Project CHARYBDIS in accepting their deals.
* **5,086M240-9,013M ACS** - The Second Void War
	+ Project CHARYBDIS was ordered to activate its Ethereal Fortresses after the Sarakan Empire declared war on the International Union, itself a part of the Allied forces fighting against the Sarakan Empire. The Sarakan Empire's offensives were immediately checked when the Ethereal Fortresses and the *Bleeding Throne of Redemption* unleashed their restored arsenals at a massive Imperial Sarakan armada, while forces of the Celestial Temple shattered multiple Sarakan army groups in a number of otherwise short-term skirmishes. Eventually, the Ethereal Fortresses and the *Bleeding Throne of Redemption* forced the Sarakans into a war of attrition it could not afford.
* **9,213M410-580 ACS**
	+ Unbeknownst to the Void, the **Age of Night** ended with the commencement of the **Age of Light**. The Congregation of the Gods was established by **the Blue Sovereign and the Guardian Council** to help end the conflicts between multiple gods. Amaterasu, Baldr, Bathala, Quetzalcoatl, Jesus, and later Chang'e managed to convince Yahweh to abandon his self-imposed exile and return, to which he reluctantly agreed.
	+ An expedition commissioned by **the Blue Sovereign** into the Void discovered voidwalker civilization. When they returned with reports of voidwalker civilizations, among which is the Novayan Stellar Commonwealth, the Congregation and the Guardian Council, fearing the Black Empire is resurgent and a Second Black War is brewing, assembled the Armies of the Light and the Armies of the Abyss for a preemptive war of salvation against the Novayans and the rest of the Void.
	+ **The Blue Sovereign** convinced **the Elder One** to come join her, Yahweh and several others, who were uninvolved in the creation of both Armies, in watching the liberation of the Void.
* **9,213M580-5940 ACS** - The Void-Light War
	+ After the commencement of the Void-Light War, Emperor Athar Ozadore attempted to contact the Armies of the Light for a ceasefire, only to learn that the Armies of the Light and the Armies of the Abyss sought to shatter the NSC and help liberate and save the rest of the Void, through which they utilize powerful light-based magic systems that were utterly fatal to voidwalkers who were otherwise not of the Black Empire.
	+ The *Bleeding Throne of Redemption* was moved alongside its escorts of Ethereal Fortresses to stop the salvation of one of the Novayans' worlds. Attempts to stop the conflict only failed when the Armies of the Light soon assailed the fortresses unaware of their affiliation. Eventually, Emperor Athar Ozadore told Project CHARYBDIS Leadership that the Armies of the Light and of the Abyss had not known that the voidwalkers were different, and declared both Armies to be hostile.
	+ As part of Operation SHADOWED INHERITANCE, the Paranormal Forces Coalition and other organizations secretly aided Novayan forces in driving back the Armies of the Light, of which the Armies of the Abyss is part of. Utilizing the thaumaturgical aspects of the Ethereal Fortresses, the Celestial Temple, the *Bleeding Throne of Redemption* and various Project CHARYBDIS-administered worlds, the Paranormal Forces Coalition helped crumble the Armies of the Light's defenses and logistics. At the battle of the Breach, Emperor Athar Ozadore, King Oreprix Agorius, Demon Knight St. Alderann Ogier, and Paradise Guard Hectorina helped Lord Admiral Borealis I, Grand Marshal Patrick-Elias, Admiral Borealis II and several Novayan soldiers and officers while disguised as Novayan military personnel in the fight against the Lightbringer, who was defeated and thrown through the Breach; the four eventually retreated before any of the Novayans asked them.
* **9,213M940-50 ACS** - When the NSC's Great Persecution of the followers of the Old Faiths (Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hellenists, Shintoists, Daoists, and multiple others) began, Project CHARYBDIS (at the behest of Paranormal Forces Coalition Council and High Command) began taking in refugees and sending them to its administered worlds. This lasted until an armed revolution under Borealis II forced the Novayan government to deport the Old Faiths followers and dissidents to the newly-christened Breach Commissariat; what followers of the Old Faiths remain were in small groups, forced to adapt to the new normal around the,. When news broke out that the Cult of the Loop became the now-dominant religion in the NSC (which forced many of the majority of the Old Faiths followers to convert to the new religion), the goddess Sagittarius requested that the Cult of the Loop be placed under the Celestial Temple's purview; the request was granted.
* **Eon 10 ACS** - The Rise of the Kingdom of Meriana
	+ Adventurers and explorers from the Kingdom of Meriana, a humble and respected feudal monarchy, uncovered a number of vaults which, unbeknownst to them, dated back to the times of the Void-Light War. After reporting back to their guildmasters, the King of Meriana orders the vaults secured.
	+ Attempts to open the vaults failed multiple times. Hiring several thaumaturges and para/technology specialists, several vaults were cracked open to reveal artifacts, spellbooks, para/technologies and so on. Researchers sent to investigate discovered various uses within them. Seeing this, the Kingdom of Meriana began utilizing them to help develop its worlds and society as a whole.
	+ Using the thaumaturgical and anomalous aspects of their para/techs, artifacts and spellbooks, the Kingdom of Meriana expanded its territories initially to the north, west and east and then to the south and southeast, peacefully integrating worlds using diplomacy and gifts of the wonders their artifacts, para/techs and spellbooks had brought. In three hundred years, the Kingdom of Meriana would become one of the most prosperous and developed nations. Despite this, the King of Meriana refused to accept his nation as a superpower, rather wanting it seen as a soft power and a smart power.
	+ Princess Emilia Markolma, the next in line to become Queen of Meriana as well as the most curious of the royal family, led teams of scribes, para/technology specialists, and thaumaturges to open the remaining vaults. The vaults were opened, and the teams discovered artifacts, para/techs, spellbooks and so on that were of a nature far different from the ones they see.
	+ A research into the newly-recovered items discovered they were meant for things that IS NOT: reanimating the dead, using the souls of the deceased for multiple purposes, creating corpses from thaumaturgy and alchemy, [REDACTED]. Under Princess Emilia's instructions, a series of tests began covertly to see how far they were effective. On the conclusion of the tests, it was discovered that the reanimation of the dead have far more beneficial advantages that would otherwise [REDACTED]. It was later agreed among historians that this is the cause of the fall of the Kingdom of Meriana and its subsequent balkanization, and more specifically the corruption of Princess Emilia.
* **Eon 11-12 ACS** - The Fall of the Kingdom of Northern Meriana
	+ Through sustained pressure from her, Princess Emilia was able to receive her family's approval to use the reanimated dead as guardians and sentinels to supplement the much smaller organic Merianan military.
	+ The first discontent that would spark the fall of the Kingdom of Northern Meriana began when the reanimated dead is put to work on menial work, menial work that were hard-earned by the Merianan people themselves. Opposition in the form of protests and demonstrations against the reanimated dead taking their jobs occur, though most were resolved peacefully.
	+ The second discontent occur after various religious folks - especially those following voidwalker religions as well as any of the Old Faiths - from within and without issued condemnations against the use of the reanimated dead, claiming and citing that the dead were denied rest. Disputes between theologians, philosophers and others on the reanimated dead issue had divided the kingdom.
	+ The third discontent occur when various mystery cults began popping up, some or most made up of several members of the Merianan clergy. These mystery cults worship the souls of the deceased, the deceased and later the reanimated dead.
	+ The fourth discontent occur when various death cults appear sporadically throughout Meriana. The death cults were known to hold absolute reverence for Death and the Laws of Death and are focused on ritualistic sacrifices and the reanimation of the dead as well as dark arts that disgusted even the most virtuous of Meriana's pagan cults, who condemned such practices to the point they began leaving for much greener pastures alongside their followers and peoples. Many left for other places such as Sazarlia, but several pagan cults still remain; many of the remaining pagan cults were destroyed when the Fall of Meriana occurred.
	+ The fifth discontent occur when many Merianans began leaving their home for greener pastures. Most were convinced to stay but others still left. Various orders learned through the stars that a terrible cataclysm will fall upon them and that they must all flee. Most, including those who were convinced to stay, began leaving as fast as they could.
	+ The sixth discontent occurred when Princess Emilia, now driven mad by the dark knowledge she learned as well as the events that brought her nation into greater turmoils, aligned herself with and replaced the most holiest of the clergy and even the virtuous of pagans with those of the death cults. Taking over the reins of government for herself and the death cults she supported, she demanded all to stay and obey her and the cults' every commandments. When protests and demonstrations against her tyrannical ruling occur, she sent the reanimated dead to kill them all. Many protesters and demonstrators were killed, while others were saved by the arrival of the Knights of Meriana and even a number of reanimated soldiers and armies under a few still-loyal death cults. As a result, panic ensued as the kingdom began to wither and then disintegrate slowly, and now collapse in on itself.
	+ The seventh discontent began when Meriana's southern and southeastern territories began to openly revolt against Princess Emilia's tyrannical dictatorship. Sceledaria and Sazarlia, two of the largest regions in Meriana, respectively third and second to Meriana, sent forces to overthrow the hateful princess and restore the royal family's honor. Response, Princess Emilia, now Death Prophetess Emilia, threatened to raise their dead. Her father attempted bring back reason to her, reminding her that he did not want her to be this way. In a rage, she slew her own father and, as a result, went beyond the point of no return by having him raised from the dead. When news broke out of her murder and deadification of her own father, both Sceledaria and Sazarlia finally declared themselves in open rebellion against her.
	+ The final event, the Fall of Meriana, began when Death Prophetess Emilia ordered her loyal death cults to unleash a powerful spell that would put an end to the Sceledarian and Sazarlian rebellions. However, before the spell could be casted, several Merianan Knights intervened and disrupted the casting, which eventually automatically targeted almost the entirety of the northern half of the kingdom. The resulting apocalypse saw the destruction of Northern Merianan civilization as a whole. Survivors of the apocalypse were gathered and brought to worlds and residential ships that had arrived.
	+ Due to the spell that was casted, almost every nations' paratechnologies and thaumaturgy went off either harmlessly or violently. Para/technological and thaumaturgical sensors detected a massively large spike that almost overloaded them. Thaumaturges reported their powers going out of control as various paratechnologies went haywire. In International Union space, the Atlas Talura system, the Ethereal Fortresses, and the Bleeding Throne of Redemption were shielded from the phenomena brought upon by the death cults' spell, yet the effects were still felt. After Emperor Athar notified CHARYBDIS Leadership of a phenomena he had felt, the Paranormal Forces Coalition sent an exploratory team to investigate the phenomena.
* **Eon 13 ACS** - The Crisis of the 13th Eon
	+ **70 years before the war** - An exploratory team discovered a vault dating back to the times of the Void-Light War. Utilizing newly-developed thaumaturgical techniques and cutting-edge paratechnologies, the vault was opened to reveal artifacts, spellbooks, para/techs and others of unknown purposes. The Paranormal Forces Coalition was called in to secure the vault.
	+ **50 years before the war** - Unbeknownst to all, the fallen Kingdom of Meriana had utterly transformed into the Death Cults of Meriana. Now led by the blasphemed Princess-turned-Death Prophetess Emilia Markolma, the Death Cults of Meriana began reanimating the dead for war against the Void, believed by her to be led by the Sceledarians and Sazarlians.
	+ **47 years before the war** - A series of controlled experiments revealed their purposes, but as to how and why they were there remain a mystery.
	+ **46 years before the war** - Several more vaults were discovered by additional exploratory teams and secured and recovered by the Paranormal Forces Coalition. Using knowledge gained from the Celestial Temple, Ethereal Fortresses and Bleeding Throne of Redemption, the vualts were opened. Many contain the same things, but some provide clues on what is going on.
	+ **43 years before the war** - Using the clues gathered, exploratory teams homed in on a vault, the largest of its kind and codenamed "OVERSEER'S VAULT", and unlocked it. Once inside, the exploratory teams began gathering whatever information they could find with assistance from scribes from the Celestial Temple as well as a few Lesser Demon Knights from the Bleeding Throne of Redemption.
	+ **43 years before the war** - After several months of research, the true purposes of the vaults were revealed: they were built by the Armies of the Light and the Armies of the Abyss during the Void-Light War that, should they ever be defeated, the vaults would be open to a chosen few who would create nations and lead them to war against the voidwalkers for a second Void-Light War. Additional information recovered also revealed that the artifacts, spellbooks, para/techs and others were left to allow for the colonization of the Void and the salvation of the voidwalkers, in spite of the fact the Light both Armies used to purify the voidwalkers during the first war had been overpowered to the point that any attempt at purification would result in their death.
	+ **43 years before the war** - An emergency meeting between the International Union, Paranormal Forces Coalition and Project CHARYBDIS has eventually agreed that the use of such anomalies must be restrained or even banned and so expanded Project CHARYBDIS to catalogue all antediluvian anomalies before they become a threat.
	+ **42 years before the war** - The Death Cults began invading former Merianan worlds left and right and eventually expanded outwards. Due to the fact the spell caused thaumaturgy and paratechnology to go haywire, many nations were not aware of what is happening.
	+ **40 years before the war** - Sagittarius, who is left comatose after the spell had affected her, eventually woke up and alarmed the Celestial Temple of her visions of a war that is coming to them forty years from now. Taking this seriously, the Paranormal Forces Coalition deployed elements of its forces into the southern borders. The Ethereal Fortresses were activated once more to keep watch on whatever might spill out from the Union's southern borders.
	+ **39 - 0 years before the war** - The Death Cults of Meriana's forces had spread throughout the Void unbeknownst to all but a few. The Paranormal Forces Coalition, acting on the prophets', oracles', priests' and seers' information, sent teams to attack the Death Cults' forces to reduce the impact of their invasions. Some teams went to nations to help prepare for evacuation efforts the moment the Death Cults attacked. Some nations were assisted by the Paranormal Forces Coalition into hitting where the Death Cults established their death cells to prevent any takeovers or attacks from within.
	+ **0 year before the war** - Without warning, the Death Cults began attacking various nations. Many were take by surprise, and some were overwhelmed. However, the teams the Paranormal Forces Coalition had sent to these nations and the task forces sent to grind the enemy into attrition prior to the war were instrumental in preventing horrific losses and allowing evacuation efforts to continue.
	+ **Early-mid phases** - The Paranormal Forces Coalition mobilized all its assets to blunt and shatter the Death Cults' offensives. The Ethereal Fortresses, impenetrable orbital fortress complexes, broke many Death Cult invasions again and again. In the Atlas Talura system, the Celestial Temple's thaumaturges, augurs, priests and goddess used their powers to purify the undead armies, destroying all of them. From the Bleeding Throne of Redemption, the Demon Knight Saint Alderann Ogier alongside the Lesser Demon Knights, King Oreprix, Emperor Athar and the Bigfoots unleashed their full powers upon the undead forces.
	+ **Late phases** - The Death Cults had been pushed back to its original borders before it was invaded by the Coalition of the Void. In the ensuing battle, Sagittarius, Athar, Ogier, Oreprix and several others attacked the fallen capital of Meriana alongside contingents of the Knights of Meriana, the Sceledarian Empire and the Sazarlian Empire. In the ensuing battle of Meriana, the Death Prophetess Emilia was defeated by St. Alderann whose demon extension knocked her down and allowed the troops to capture her and her cultists.
* **Eon 15** - Novayan-Arcadian War and the Year of the Bleeding Stars
	+ The Arcadian Imperium, located to the far south of the Novayan Stellar Commonwealth, declared war on the latter, commencing the Novayan-Arcadian War. Both sides made minor or significant gains from each other, before it devolved into an interstellar form of static warfare for almost eighteen years.
	+ On the night of Aries 18, the Arcadian Imperium collapsed in a cataclysmic event that was to become known as the Year of the Bleeding Stars, so named because the stars within and without Arcadian space glowed and shone a brilliant, deep crimson for the duration of the event. At the same time, the Ethereal Fortresses and the Celestial Temple experienced a thaumaturgical backlash resulted from the chaotic event. Other thaumaturgical backlashes were reported even throughout the Void. The event lasted until the next year on Aries 21.
		- Unbeknownst to the voidwalkers, the Year of the Bleeding Stars had also affected 'verses outside the Void. Magical backlashes were reported to be chaotic, catastrophic and apocalyptic to the point many worlds suffered horribly. The resulting cataclysm had brought about the **Second Age of Ashes** and later the **Second Age of Night**, both of which would last for five eons-u.
	+ After an emergency meeting, the Paranormal Forces Coalition sent teams into the territory of the Arcadian Imperium alongside those from the Celestial Temple of Atlas Talura and the Blood-Throne of Constantine. A few weeks after, the exploratory teams would report the rapid death, and writhing agony that preceded it, of almost the entire Arcadian nation in a harrowing detail unlike any other before.
	+ Humanitarian relief operations commenced after the exploratory teams returned, with the few unaffected worlds within Arcadia being used as launching points for the distribution of humanitarian aid and disaster relief.
	+ Meanwhile, the Novayan Stellar Commonwealth deployed forces down into the far south to take over Arcadia, only to report the horrific events that killed almost the entire Arcadian empire. Recognizing this, additional military units were sent to take over multiple worlds and star systems as well as approximately 3/9 of the now-fallen Arcadian Imperium within the period of thirty years. Colonization and resettlement efforts saw the transformation of Novayan-occupied Arcadia into the Southern Commissariat.
	+ Five years after the Year of the Bleeding Stars and the sudden and unexpected termination of the Novayan-Arcadian War, Project CHARYBDIS launched a seventy-year investigation into the event that would receive the codename **"BLEEDING STARS"**.
* **Mid/Late Eon 15** - Launch and Mission of the Explorer Fleet outside the Void
	+ The International Union Paranormal Forces Coalition commenced construction of an extradimensional research vessel called the Explorer, which was finished ten years after. During this time eight more vessels were built as part of Project OUT OF BOUNDS, a program intending to learn more about everything outside the Void.
	+ The Explorer Flotilla, which would later become the Explorer Fleet, was then deployed to gather information. For more information, see **Before the First Black War**.
	+ The Explorer Flotilla would be expanded within thirty years with 30+ ships sent to help expand the flotilla's capabilities to investigate worlds. An additional 10+ ships would be sent, this time with a mandate ascending the Explorer Flotilla into the Explorer Fleet.
	+ The Explorer Fleet uncovered multiple information regarding the histories, cultures and so on of various civilizations as well as the discovery of the aftereffects of the **Year of the Bleeding Stars** that managed to expand beyond the Void a few seconds after the Arcadian Imperium attempted a thaumaturgical attack upon the Novayan Stellar Commonwealth before it misfired. After reporting this the Paranormal Forces Coalition High Command authorized a large-scale humanitarian effort overseen by Sagittarius and Emperor Athar, codenamed Operation Trinity, which would last for three-hundred years. Information also gathered revealed that the Armies of the Light and the Armies of the Abyss were unaware of the Explorer Fleet's presence as the former two were unable to respond and instead focusing on preventing everlasting damages wrought upon by the aftereffects of the **Year of the Bleeding Stars**.
	+ Under the instructions of Emperor Athar and Sagittarius, several worlds began reverse-engineering the same techniques the Coalition used to help heal the apocalyptic damages wrought upon by the **Year of the Bleeding Stars**, soon spreading them to other worlds and 'verses where needed. The para/technological, magical, sorcerous and thaumaturgical techniques would soon be replicated by other worlds to the point many began recovering. Despite this, the aftereffects linger even after the damages were healed, leading to backlashes of varying magnitudes and natural calamities being more frequently common or less.
