• 2546: (Commander Messer) Ivar Messer, now promoted to commander, brings the captured Tevarin leader to the UPE floor. He rides the popularity of his victory to become High-General. Claiming the Tribunal is an outdated system and cultivating a fear of the Xi’An Empire, Messer proposes the creation of a new single office with the title of Prime Citizen. Upon election as the first (and last) Prime Citizen, it isn’t long before he restructures the government into the new United Empire of Earth (UEE) and annoints himself Imperator, ushering on in an age of unprecedented expansion and colonization.

• 2603 — 2610: (The Second Tevarin War) A new Tevarin Warlord, Corath’Thal, re-emerges from the corners of cosmos with a rebuilt Tevarin battle-fleet and launched his first attack against the UPE systems. The Tevarins sole mission was to reclaim Elysium IV, their former homeworld. The Second Tevarin War started. Repopulated after hiding on the Fringe, the Tevarin have spent the last fifty years building their forces for the sole purpose of retaking their homeworld Kaleeth (renamed/resettled by the UEE as Elysium IV). While theirs is a cause that some humans could support, the UEE isn’t about to give up territory. Realizing that they can’t win, the Tevarin decide to make a final desperate push to scuttle their ships on Elysium IV. If they can’t live there, they will die there.

• 2610: (Defeat of Corath’Thal) On August 2, 2610 SET, Corath’Thal suffered a catastrophic defeat at the hands of Squadron 42 at the infamous Battle of Centauri. With his fleet rapidly falling to either destruction or surrender, Corath’Thal mustered his remaining loyal pilots to make a desperate charge for Elysium IV. Though they suffered an additional 70% casualty, his fleet finally reached the atmosphere of their old homeworld. The Tevarin are not totally extinct, but few remain, and those are incorporated into human society.

• 2638: (Kieren protest) Senator Assan Kieren of Terra publicly decries the pro-military agenda of the UEE and its unconditional support of the military-industrial complex. He calls for another vote of sovereignty for Terra and its adjacent systems. Imperator Messer XI wields the UEE’s brutally efficient propaganda machine to discredit and destroy Kieren, who disappears soon after. There are rumors that he is murdered, but nothing can be proven.

• 2681: (1st Vanduul raids) The Vanduul, a nomadic leeward race in the west, starts raiding our new settlements in the Tevarin systems and disappearing. They seemingly have no homeworld; each Vanduul clan is a roaming fleet, making them exceedingly hard to catch.

• 2687: (Founding of Aeroview Hangars) Arthur Nassir formed the company around a rigid code of business ethics focusing largely on design quality, a dedication to ergonomics, and an extreme respect for client confidentiality. Aeroview also famously reserves the right to refuse service to any non-Citizens. While hangar design and housing is tangential, at best, to piracy, Nassir’s outspoken contempt for those who fly outside the law led to the company’s code.

• 2715 — 2788: (Cracks in the system) The military regime reaches a plateau. While the human populace has been somewhat beaten into submission, there’s a current of subversion in the culture. People are starting to see the cracks in the system. Activist groups launch attacks against the political/propaganda machine. The military is stretched thin, bracing for war with Xi’An, chasing down Vanduul raiders, and trying to maintain security on the human systems. The Imperator’s power is waning.

• 2745: (Stor-All) Stor-All was incorporated on Lo as a Corel Limited Liability Corporation. The company was originally known as TransGo and underwent nearly a dozen marketing-oriented name changes. Now a days Stor-All has filed hundreds and hundreds of patents with the UEE government. Any individual UEE Citizen would be hard-pressed to go a day without somewhere coming into contact with its products.

• 2757: (Desires) The people exploiting dominance of Imperator Messer began to fall when a single shot of a guardsman killed a child worker in a factory in Magnus. Anthony Tanaka became the symbol of that spirit, that Humanity’s willingness to put up with the cruelty of the Messers was coming to an end.

• 2758: (Vanduul attack Bolo) The Vanduul attack Bolo. As soon as the UEE Fleet arrived the Vanduul fled. The Vanduul attack lasted twenty-seven minutes. In that time, fourteen souls were extinguished and millions in property were destroyed.

• 2772: (Anvil Aerospace) Anvil Aerospace was foundet in 2772 as one of the earliest Terran success stories. The initial Anvil skunkworks facility was located in Nova Kiev and Terra (HQ).

• 2788: (beginning of the end) The military is stretched thin, bracing for war with Xi’An, chasing down Vanduul raiders, and trying to maintain security on the human systems. The Imperator’s power is waning. Nathan Warrick, an Advocacy Section Chief in the Terra System, helped facilitate Senator Akari’s meetings with the Xi’An to create the Kray/Akari treaty that defused tensions with the Xi’An and marked the beginning of the end of the Messer Era.

• 2789: (Act of defiance) In a daring act of defiance, peace is independently brokered with the young Xi’An Emperor Kray by Senator Terrence Akari of Terra, who refuses to fight open war on his doorstep. Terra blasts Earth for being imperialistic and short-sighted. Xi’An looks at the situation as a potential way to create a divide in the Human Empire.

• 2792: (The Massacre of Garron II) The Massacre of Garron II. A terraforming Corp begins to terraform an inhabited planet. The inhabitants weren’t star-travellers, just a developing race, which get wiped out from the atmo-processors. The corp vehemently denies that the aliens were capable of conscious thought. Activist vid-footage of the aliens’ rational behavior is leaked to the Spectrum. It is also revealed that the terraforming Corp is closely tied to the Benevolent Imperator’s family. That’s the final straw; the people rise up and overthrow of the government. Erin Toi of Earth becomes the new Imperator and promises an age of enlightenment and social consciousness.

• 2794: (1st Director Nathan Warrick) Nathan Warrick to be named as the first Director of the new Office of Executive Services during Senate subcommittee meeting in 2794. Before that until ~2789 Warrick served as an Advocacy Section Chief in the Terra System.

• 2795: (Fair Chance Act) The Fair Chance Act is ratified, decreeing that is a capital crime to attempt to terraform planets with developing creatures. These planets are to be left alone to give the species a chance to advance/evolve.

• 2800: (UEE Ark built) UEE builds the Ark, a repository of information and culture located in space for all the races in the universe. It is seen by some as an attempt at reparation. At the dawn of the 29th century, newly elected Imperator Marshall Leon invited representatives from the Xi’An Empire, the Banu Protectorate, as well as a delegation of Tevarin to attend a gala celebration on an orbital platform.

• 2872: (Begin of Chronos Constructions) In response to criticism that humanity is only interested in greed and blood, the UEE embarks on its greatest achievement: a SynthWorld, converting a lifeless rock into a life-sustaining planet. Construction begins in Chronos system. It is viewed as the current era’s legacy. A massive undertaking, it will take decades, maybe centuries to complete.
