## Timeline

### 2250s

* Juunei-An stows away on a freighter bound for southern Germany in the early 2250s.

### 2546

* Jonas is kicked out of his house by Silas Spitzer at gunpoint. He hops a freighter to the Duga system and lives homeless for a short while, stealing what he absolutely needed to survive. He is arrested for misdemeanour trespass and is sentenced to two weeks in jail. Shortly after, he is arrested for petty theft, but released.

### 2547

* Jonas takes out a contract with the Syndicate in order to get some form of financial stability, and assassinates two lawyers working on a high-profile case in the Radmeer system. During the assassinations, the second shot overpenetrated and killed the local mayor. Jonas' prints are found on the door, and an arrest warrant is issued.
* Jonas returns the contract and hops a freighter to the Eridanis systems, joining the Eridanis Defence Corps later that year.

### 2548

* Civil war erupts in the Eridanis system, causing Jonas' apprenticeship to end early.

### 2551

* Order is restored in the Eridanis system. Jonas receives his first promotion, to *Airman's Mechanic*.

### 2552

* Andreas is signed up for the Luftwaffe by Silas Spitzer without his knowledge. He leaves that June for duty.
* An explosion in the messhall on 13 October 2552 kills Removes-The-Bullets and severely injures Andreas Spitzer. Andreas is medically evaluated the next day, and discharged three days later. Does-the-Research suffers minor injuries due to the explosion.

### 2553

* Andreas moves back to Texas and is hired on as a longshoreman for the Spaceport of Beaumont.

### 2555

* Andreas marries Keeps-the-Records, a records clerk at the Spaceport of Beaumont.

### 2556

* Andreas signs on for Nanotrasen, Inc. and is sent to Space Station 13.
* Andreas' wife files for divorce, on the grounds that Andreas would not be able to provide a family with a father figure. Andreas agrees a few days later, and the divorce is finalised on Christmas Day, 2556.
* Andreas gets in contact with Jonas near new years' eve.

### 2557

* Andreas transfers to the NSV Astraeus, and becomes the chief engineer near the start of the year.
* Andreas is kidnapped and tortured for information towards the end of January. He is charged with treason by Patrek Sutherland. Jonas fills in for Andreas during the court case. Andreas is officially transferred to the NCV Basilisk as a result.
* Richard Dunn investigates Jonas and finds evidence of Syndicate interaction in Jonas' past, after a cold case unit reopens the Radmeer assassinations. He compiles a dossier and forwards it to the command crew of the NCV Basilisk.
* On February 21, Jonas is made aware of the dossier. The next day, he takes out a contract with the Syndicate to have the case re-closed, in exchange for detonating the NCV Basilisk's onboard nuclear self-destruct device. Jonas fails, and is detained by Marshall Bash. Jonas spends the next month working as the janitor of the Basilisk to repay his debt to the crew.
* Andreas resigns from Nanotrasen.
* On April 24, the Syndicate arrive at Eridanis, with the intent to take it over. On April 26, the order to evacuate is given and Jonas steals a Kurjak-class interceptor-fighter. He tracks down the Basilisk, picks a fight with a Ravager and his ship explodes, leaving him in cryogenic stasis but presumed deceased.
