Earth History

This is a timeline of history as seen from the perspective of Earthlings.

Go to the beginning
  • 1951 CE

    1973 CE

    OSI Experiments
    Civil action

    The Office of Scientific Intelligence started a series of clandestine experiments centering around mind-control and radioactive gene therapy.

  • 1967 CE

    9 /2 23:00
    Catalyst Effect Discovered
    Discovery, Scientific

    In the late hours of February 9th Dr. Vonnegut makes a breakthrough experimenting with remains from the Epidemic of 1950.

  • 2008 CE

    Robotic Missions To Mars
    Era beginning/end

    Automated rovers prepare living spaces and terraforming stations for future human habitation.

  • 2082 CE

    18 /3
    2107 CE

    8 /11
    WWIII Begins
    Military action

    WWIII

  • 2107 CE

    8 /11
    Nuclear Appocalypse
    Era beginning/end

    Nuclear Apocalypse

  • 2107 CE

    11 /11
    Humanity is pushed under ground
    Civil action

    Humanity is forced to live in bunkers and shelters underground to avoid fallout and violent storms.

  • 2107 CE

    20 /11
    Nuclear Storms Begin
    Geological / environmental event

    Devastating nuclear storms batter the planet.

  • 2107 CE

    9 /15
    Contact Lost

    Contact is lost between Earth and Mars.

  • 2322 CE

    Nuclear Storms Subside
    Geological / environmental event

  • 2323 CE

    Humans leave their shelters and colonize the wastes
    Era beginning/end

  • 2686 CE

    28 /1
    Fusion Power Discovered
    Scientific achievement

  • 2719 CE

    New Space Race
    Era beginning/end

    Following the development of fusion technology, space travel is made much easier. A new space race erupts between the East and Western Earthling factions.

  • 2728 CE

    GFM Drive Discovered
    Technological achievement

    GFM technology revolutionized space flight and the energy grid. Using gravity induction it's possible to harvest the latent gravitational energy in flux around celestial bodies. Travel between the inner solar system also became a non-issue and ship designs became much larger and more complex.

  • 2730 CE

    Lunar Colonization Begins
    Construction beginning/end

    Early Moon Outpost

    Humans begin colonizing the moon to serve as a "jumping off point" for future expansion. In an attempt to safeguard national security each superpower militarizes their installations.

  • 2734 CE

    17 /3
    2746 CE

    The Lunar - Micronesia Conflict
    Military action

    Tensions rise between the two global superpowers and a 12 year conflict emerges. Though outright war is avoided, proxy groups and clandestine operations leave scars on both societies that will take years to heal.

  • 2758 CE

    Asteroid Mining Begins
    Construction beginning/end

    Asteroid mining begins on a massive scale. Although slow and mundane, humanity is able to completely devour entire asteroids in a single generation.

  • 2760 CE

    Slip Stream Research Begins
    Discovery, Scientific

    Through gravity manipulation and quantum entanglement humans begin experimenting with slip stream teleportation.

  • 2766 CE

    28 /6
    Warp Travel Discovered
    Technological achievement

    Gravity can be manipulated using a GFM drive to create an Alcubierre type warp bubble, allowing ships to travel ~.5% the speed of light. Meaning it would take roughly 60 hours to get from Earth to Mars, and minutes from the Earth to the Moon.

  • 2769 CE

    2844 CE

    Scramble for the Inner Solar System
    Construction beginning/end

    Rapid colonization of nearly every significant celestial body in the inner solar system.

  • 2788 CE

    Electromagnetic Disturbances Found On Mars
    Discovery, Exploration

    Studies of the Martian surface revealed electromagnetic dead zones spanning the planet in no specific pattern. This explained all the ships going MIA.

  • 2865 CE

    Slip Stream Travel Developed
    Technological achievement

    Beyond The Aquila Rift - Love, Death & Robots - Keyframes by Wojtek Fus

      After 105 years, humans have made slip stream travel safe and usable on a large scale. Instantaneous travel revolutionizes migration, trade, construction, and exploration.

  • 2911 CE

    The Juno - Pallas Incident
    Disaster / Destruction

    Antimatter Explosion

    A massive explosion erupts from the Hygeia slipstream conduit, completely destroying the asteroid and its inhabitants. Slip stream technology is considered dangerous but still used. People living in the asteroid colonies are very upset. This is the last joint project between the Eastern and Western factions.
