As the continuous extinction-level catastrophes continue to plague mankind due to their own actions, humans finally see eye-to-eye as they all unite to form the Union, which will be the tipping point towards mankind's future.

Union Point and Union Central Construction
Construction beginning/endShortly after the Union was founded, they decide to establish a base, not on any part of the Earth, but on the moon, to avoid any conflicts among the different races of mankind. With this, the construction of the Union Central pushed through. Along the way, the Union also decided to establish an academy for future officers, explorers, and soldiers including it in the Union Central construction plans. With this, Union Point was established.

The Age of Exploration
Discovery, ExplorationEver since mankind has been trying to find other habitable planets out there. This was drastically continued, as the population on Earth continue to increase until the Union realized that soon enough, the planet would no longer fit all of us. The Union decided that it is time to explore more parts of the unknown universe, along with the idea of finding other habitable planets that mankind can colonize and live in.

Sublight Engines Launched
Construction beginning/endThe search for habitable planets would not meet the deadline that our rapidly increasing population created, so in response, the Union decided to build engines that were capable of launching exploratory ships exponentially faster. Thousands of engineers and scientists, along with millions of workers were called to help build these so-called Sublight Travel Engines (STE). After years of hard work and sleepless nights, along with the celebration of the New Year of 2506, the first batch of STEs was launched across the solar system.

Lightspeed Travel was invented
Scientific achievementFollowing the success of Sublight Engines, the Union ventured into travelling further out of the galaxy, to utilize the other planets in other galaxies. They ordered the invention and design of engines capable of travelling at lightspeed. With these engines, travelling in between galaxies ran faster and smoother, but were only limited to certain ships specifically designed for lightspeed travel. This is caused by the huge stress Hyperdrive Engines put on the ship that it is used on.

First sighting of the Xenos
Discovery, ScientificThe exploration team of the Union Space Ship (USS) - Saratoga was sent to seek out habitable planets for possible colonies of the Union, along with discovering new life forms if possible in the universe. While exploring the planet Rebryria, they stumbled upon the ruins of an ancient civilization. As far as they could tell from the murals, carvings, statues, and whatnot from the ruins, they were once a proud civilization that seemed to guard something, an ancient evil. Not much else could be determined from their initial assessments, until one of them accidentally disturbed the ruins inappropriately, which triggered the awakening of the Xenos. In their desperate attempt to return to their ship, they accidentally brought the Xenos along with them, killing every crew member on board. This also caused the Xenos to spread their influence as the ship crashed into another planet.

Establishment of the Lancer Program
FoundingThree years after the first sighting of the Xenos, the Union diverted most of its manpower and resources into stopping their rapid spread. This proved to be insufficient, however, as their standard military weapons eventually became no longer effective against the Xenos. This led to the idea of training soldiers to be more efficient and effective in fighting the Xenos, which eventually lead to the establishment of the Lancer Program.

The Attack on Lascilla
Disaster / DestructionThis was one of the historic battle in the history of mankind. After discovering the hostile organism known as Xenos, the Union have been sending most of the efforts of the Military and Exploration Sector to stop the advancements of the Xenos on the edge of the Andromeda galaxy. One of the planets there, Lascilla, was one of the research colonies to be located near the ongoing war between the Xenos and mankind. Eventually, Lascilla suddenly went silent on the 13th day of the 1st month of 3124, as the Xenos managed to overwhelm the Union forces trying to stop them near the planet. Eva Agoncillo and her squad was sent to the planet, along with other reinforcements in order to stop the swarm and save the people of the planet. They were able to save everyone, at the cost of Eva's life however, as she sacrificed herself to let her companions and other Union personnel to escape the planet. Eva was then deemed KIA at the Battle on Lascilla.
As of today, every communication or rescue effort sent to Lascilla goes silent, and whoever goes in there never comes back or heard from ever again. -

The Fall of Rathos Prime
Disaster / DestructionA month after the attack on Lascilla, the Xenos took everyone completely by surprise, as their swarms quickly overran the planet colony of Rathos Prime. Due to the unexpected attack, the Union station posted there didn't have enough time to launch a counter offensive as they were quickly overwhelmed by the sheer number of Xenos on the planet. No one knows what exactly happened, and how the Xenos managed to elude the scans and security of the Rathos Prime Station.

Lancer Program
Life, EducationThe people who would eventually be known as Bravo Team were recruited into the Lancer program. Neptune was recruited due to her hacking and computer capabilities. Luke was mostly accepted because of her mom's legacy. Bei was easily accepted because of her parents' influence as owners of the Smith-Shimano Corporation (SSC). Kamile got in somehow mysteriously. Hana was able to be recruited due to her efforts, using her baggage as fuel to push her forward. Sheryl was also accepted due to __________________.

Assignment to Keplar 22-B
Life, RelocationThe characters only had a few days of rest after graduating before receiving their first assignments. They all met up at Space Dock 9. Some tensions arose as some of them already know each other. They all eventually rode the shuttle named "Normandy" which will take them to Keplar 22-B, their first posting as Lancers.

First Mission
Life, Achievement/ WinBravo Team was deployed on their first mission earlier than planned, as new intel arose and the urgency of reclaiming outposts grew larger. They were awoken by Master Sergeant "Jock" early to be debriefed. Colonel Morris came out with a crazy plan to reclaim outpost 38, which is a small outpost with mech printers. Once they succeed together with Trigger and Sonic, they will then claim outpost 50, hopefully with mech capabilities.
