————

**3rd Century**

At some point in this century, the sun of the Baccar D System transforms into a red supergiant, which then begins to destroy most of the planets in said system, including the ones inhabited by the System's native advanced humanoids. These natives escaped their imperilled homeworlds onboard a fleet of massive bioships to as to find a new home, the leader of one of these bioships being a man by the name of Captain Zevrath Naaru.

**4th Century**

Captain Naaru later died of old age, presumably in this century.

**21st Century**

*2020*

The New Renaissance on Earth begins in this year.

*2032*

**July** - [[Androids are first created in Detroit, Michigan by a cybernetics company known as CyberLife.

*2045*

**February** - North Korea and South Korea reunite into one country, mostly referred to as just Korea but with its full title being the Korean Commonwealth; what was previously North Korea adopts the freedoms of the South, and it’s also from near to the beginning of this decade when Earth begins to undergo what became known as the Brand New Renaissance due to recent advances in international peace and in technology.

*2053*

**October** - Equal rights movements for androids begin, predominantly in the U.S.

*2058*

**April** - Humanity invents warp technology, allowing their spacecraft to travel faster than the speed of light and proving itself to be a revolutionary development.

**June 22nd** - The Human race makes first contact with the Xelayans when the latter finds out about them inventing the warp drive, and their leader, High Chancellor Dealdra Lezar, shakes hands with the United States’ President, Gene Baxter.

**December** - Androids are given equal rights to humans, and more new starships are built.

*2061*

**April** - The UIFA (The United Interstellar Fleet Agency), which is effectively the successor of NASA, is formed.

*2063*

**March** - Humanity discovers the crystalline element Dirilium (Drm-Δ) which becomes the new fuel source for their spacecraft and which the Xelayans and other races who would become Union members are currently using as well, presumably along with the galaxy’s other warp-capable species.

*2064*

**May** - The Xelayans introduce the humans to the former’s neighbours, a race of catlike humanoids called the Voldorians, and another interstellar alliance is formed.

*2071*

**September** - While carrying out exploration missions in nearby systems, humans and a group of Voldorians come across another recently warp-capable species called the Zolans, who become another ally.

*2079*

**November 12th** - The Planetary Union is formed between the Voldorians, Xelayans, Zolans and Humanity, paving the way for this to later grow into one of the galaxy’s most prominent powers.

*2083*

**January** - The Denobulans, a race from the Denobula Triaxa system which is relatively close to the four founding worlds, becomes the fifth Planetary Union member and the first since the Union itself was formed.

*2086*

The first U.S.S *Asgard*, which becomes the Planetary Union’s main flagship and most important starship overall, is manned by its first crew after its construction has just been completed, with the construction of its fellow Flagship-class vessel and slightly smaller counterpart, the first U.S.S *Olympia*, being finished four months later.

*2088*

**March** - The Andorians join the Union, with the Orions also becoming another member five months later.

*2090*

**August** - The planet Risa is also stumbled upon by the Union, which is discovered to be a tropical paradise, and its native race, the Risians, become another Union member race. They then point the Union in the direction of their close neighbours, the nearest of which being the Ragnans, as well as telling them about the Arkadans.

*2094*

**July** - The Union meets the Arkadans, a wealthy race native to Zalmara Prime who soon become famous for their luxury exports and their extravagant fashion sense - they become another member race and allow the Union to mine from the Zalmara system’s massive Dirilium reserves. This becomes the Arkadans’ other main export, and they also help to significantly expand Union star charts.

*2096*

**February** - The Ragnans become the tenth Planetary Union member.

**22nd Century**

*2104*

**January** - The Union makes contact with the Romulans, who show hostility towards the former and begin trying to gather information about them via the Tal Shiar, The Romulan Star Empire’s intelligence agency.

*2106*

This year is when Earth underwent the Rebooted Renaissance, the successor to the Brand New Renaissance in the 2040s, where its still ongoing contact with the encountered alien races causes yet more advances in the sciences and the arts, and in architecture.

*2113*

**February** - Union starships come into contact with the Windermereans. The latter, like the Romulans, are hostile towards the Union, because the Windermereans believe (correctly) that they were the first species to be created by the Architectors, and as a result, they also believe that they’re the latter’s true heirs and other races are, consequently, soulless beings with no place in the universe.

*2114*

**May** - The Windermereans, displeased with the Union races’ presence on their planet, declare war on the Planetary Union and drive them off of Windermere Prime. After three months of fighting between the two powers, the Windermere Kingdom successfully gets the Union to retreat from their space and forbade them from returning, beginning the hostilities that would continue to exist for over a century.

*2116*

**June** - A race with an ever so slightly higher level of technological development, the Kzarmiloids, join the Union.

*2119*

**July** - The Bajorans, a race in the system near to the Orions and the Andorians, become another member of the Planetary Union now that they’ve re-established themselves as a democracy after their previous leader, a corrupt dictator who’d been in power for the last decade, had been executed a week and a half prior.

*2127*

**July** - Tensions have continued to rise between the Planetary Union and the Romulan Star Empire, causing the two powers to now ultimately declare war on each other.

*2131*

**December** - After four years, the Union-Romulus war ends with the Union’s victory after the Romulans decide to surrender, eventually outmatched by the Union starships, with their multi-species co operation and combined large-caliber weaponry. The Romulans’ defeat causes humiliation for their Senate, and the Neutral Zone in the space between that of the two powers is established to prevent any more wars. This marks the beginning of the Union-Romulan Cold War.

**23rd Century**

*2219*

**January** - A race of luminous worm-like invertebrates called the Visterians join the Union, becoming the first and only non-humanoid member race to date.

*2223*

**September 6th** - Hank Anderson is born in Detroit, Michigan.

*2240s (unspecified year)*

Manya Chaudri is born.

*2244*

**November 25th** - Martin Keates is born in Princeton, New Jersey.

*2245*

**August 2nd** - Arthur Doyle is born in London, England.

*2248*

**February 9th** - Andrea Kitan is born in her parents’ home in the Pelsa Province on Xelaya.

*2250*

**June 18th** - Eve Ferencz is born in Debrecen, Hungary.

*2251*

**March 9th** - Jenna Kaufmann is born in Graz, Austria, before returning to England with her parents a few months later.

*2252*

**April** - The U.S.S *Valkyrie* is constructed and then manned by its first ever crew.

*2271*

Martin and Jenna first meet while she was still a Cadet for the UIFA and he was an Ensign, along with her and Eve also having met Hank and Bruce a year prior. Shortly after getting to know each other better, the former pair initiate a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

*2276*

**August** - Jenna returns to Earth to surprise Martin at their apartment, but soon ends their relationship upon coming across him kissing another woman.

**September** - This is when the very beginning of the series’ events unfold. Jenna is promoted to Captain and becomes the new commanding officer of the *Valkyrie*, and is joined by Eve and Hank as well. Martin also comes aboard later during a mission to the colony world Epsilon-Iota to deliver supplies, and the two later reconcile and agree to be friends shortly after foiling an attempt by Windermereans to steal an invention from said colony planet.

If the Stars Should Appear happens a week later on from this Epsilon-Iota incident. The native "Narulians" of the lost bioship learn of their true origins thanks to Jenna, Martin, Andrea, Connor and Eve, and their new leader after Eskolas Hamelac becomes Jahavus Vharan and his Reformer followers. Union starships are scheduled to be sent to help reacquaint the natives with how to operate their ship.

Three days later, Pria takes place. Her plot to steal the *Valkyrie* and its crew from their own time and take them back to her own is thwarted by the crew and the wormhole for carrying out said plot is destroyed, making her return back to 2915.

**October** -
