# The History of Navalpunk

*From: The Navalpunk Bible*

The **history of Navalpunk** is the timeline and events throughout the canonical Navalpunk history. The history formally begins with the early 19th century, with preceding events rooting from antiquity in the middle ages. The traditional start-date of the modern Navalpunk timeline is with the Russian Imperial victory in Manchuria, during the Ruso—Japanese War of 1905 and the following Tunguska Event. The period of current Navalpunk begun with the end—Hominidae (BT) extinction event, also known as the Cataclysm marks the boundary between the Old World and New World periods, and is one of the major extinction events in modern human history, affecting all life on land and the oceans significantly on Earth.

The first early old-world humans appear in written record about <1000 years ago, during the Ortho-Hominid (or known as the Exodus Period) migrations. The fall of Earth on (S.S.) 11 November 2036 marks the start of New World history. While some successor states such as Russia, China, Great Britain or Italy would persist for several centuries, former governments of old world Earth would be fragmented into a number of different successor states. At the same time, aboriginal populations and pre-established nation states would begin the Industrial Revolution, the introduction of old world humanity changed the pace of technological advancement along the rampancy of colonisation, and the exploitation of people and resources of the territories that allowed the prolongation of "protostates" which evolved into increasingly developed nation states of Season 1 and Season 2 Navalpunk.

Season 3 Navalpunk begun with the (NS) 503 global nuclear war and the beginning of the Second end-Hominidae (BT-2) near extinction event, where the massive loss of life over a poorly defined timespan estimated to be 600 years, extending from the Windhaus Event to the beginning of early development of nation states in (\_) and (\_). Representing the first major rebound in modern civilisation. Which was preceded by the Dark Ages (c. 700 — c.1100 AC), a period described by territorial fragmentation of countries and uninhabitable neighbouring regions leading to rampant isolationism.

### End of the Beginning

#### End-Hominidae Extinction Event (28 July 2036 — 11 November 1 AC)

The **end-Hominidae Extinction Event** or **The Cataclysm**, often abbreviated as **BT**, and referred to contemporaries as **The Great War** or **The End of the World** formed the boundary between old world and new world history, begun on 28 July 2036 and ended around 11 November 1 AC. It is the Earth's most severe, and final known extinction event, with the loss of around 63% biological families, 83% of genera, 90% of marine species and around 79% of terrestrial vertebrates. One of the deadliest eras and shortest in human history, an estimated 5 billion people were killed, with 110 million more injured and/or displaced. Additional deaths have been resulted from catastrophic incidents during civilian evacuations and military mobilisation during the event.

The speed of recovery from the extinction is disputed. Historians have estimated that it took several centuries (until New World) down to some decades before the losses in populations have stabilised due to the severity of the period and event, and because of the grim conditions poised during the BT.
