Second Chance Timeline

Whilst much of the recent facts, tales and stories of the Galaxy have already been well documented in numerous books and articles - Found in all sorts of places throughout the extranet and physical archives - there is still a great need to compile everything into a much more simple and organized timeline to better understand the bigger picture, both in the Commonwealth and the Galaxy as a whole. Such is the focus of this initiative. The aim of *Project Perseverance* is to not only inform and assist in academic research, but also to situate major & minor events, some isolated and some with branching repercussions throughout the cluster.

  Although the project aims to build upon previously piled upon knowledge of all portions of the Galaxy, our focus still remains primarily within Commonwealth borders, as well as following Human narrative to better frame the formation and early steps taken by the Ortus Council of Nations to form the Commonwealth. For further information not listed here regarding non-human species integrated within Commonwealth borders, we recommend viewership of *Project Serenity,* of *Article No. 4930-2,* from the Ortus Digital Archives of Wiladay Jadida.

  We sincerely hope you appreciate this writing, as well as learn and understand many of the factual compilations that remain responsible for our current history within the cluster. *Per Aspera Ad Astra.*

## **Current Times & Editor's Note**

*(Although mentioned before, the Second Chance Wiki canonically presents no definitive ending date for its stories. The presence of this "Present" date is only to better situate more technical articles such as ship or military ones to fit under comparisons of 2350. Alternatively, stories that pass from this date will often be presented as "Post-Series" as to clear any confusion...)*

The current date of the human-centred age. Humanity and the rest of the Galaxy finds itself embroiled in a "Galactic Cold War", treading under a cautious powder keg between two Galactic powers, fresh from their own shares of downturns in the Age of Troubles. Now, the cluster would hold two main enemies; The Galactic East, headed by the Commonwealth, and the Galactic West, by the Eternal Empire.
