Continuity

**Continuity** represents characters, settings and a string of events that are all shared within a single specific timeline. Due to artistic license, and the vastness of the greater *Planet of the Apes* mythos, not all storylines take place within the same shared continuity. Details revealed from various resources often conflict with information supplied by other sources. As such, there are several continuities that relate to the *Planet of the Apes*, but are distinguished from one another for one reason or another. This database divides the separate continuities into the following family groups:
