2158: Splice-Tech finds alien artifact identical to one discovered in 2089, attempts to identify purpose of the object meet with failure.

2159: Fleet of twenty seven ships appear in the Aldebaran system occupied by the UISSR, members of the fleet claim that they were sent to colonize the Hyades cluster for the Empire of Japan, examination of their ships reveal that the fleet is the same one that was lost in 2071, how the fleet traveled almost one hundred year in a single jump unanswered; UISSR contacts IEJ regarding what they want to do, IEJ takes the fleet in and begins helping them adjust to the new times.

2162: Reich develops form of FTL drive (nicknamed jump engine or jump drive) to run on 225 kilograms of hydrogen gas.

2164: Splice-Tech gives up on attempting to understand how the alien artifact works, declares it to utilize a unique substance that they are unwilling to take from it due to lack of knowledge of how it would affect the device.

2168: Joint fleet of AI from IEJ, Reich, Neo Babylon, UISSR, and FOSS begin exploring edges on known space.

2172: AI fleet declares their own nation out of the territory that they have been exploring, dub their nation Matrix Coalition, war between Reich and UISSR called to an end as all major nations watch to see what the Matrix Coalition is planning.

2178: Reich manages to reduce tachyon purge time down to two hours between jumps.

2180: All attempts to use tachyons to transmit video files meet with failure, determined that based on current technology text and audio only forms of tachyon communications possible. Splice-Tech nanotechnology research makes breakthrough in regards to medical nanites, colonies of nanites programed to target cancerous growths before being flushed out of the body.

2188: ISS wins civil war, on verge of collapse. Reich begins experimenting with ways to affect the size of the area a jump drive transports when it travels.

2190: Reich manages to shrink the area of a jump engine to 5m³, modified jump engine placed into torpedo to be used against pirates; attempts to increase the area met with minor success of less than half a meter total.

2193: Building off of the technologies developed by Splice-Tech, the Reich develops nanites to operate their ship construction yards orbiting gas giants.

2196: Present time.

Finally the last of the timeline posts are done! I haven't decided what I'll be posting after this, but I was considering delving into one of the twelve nations. I'm going to try to get all of the timeline posts placed into a single folder, and eventually do the same for each nation.

History: 2101-2150

2104: Argona trading company signs agreement with clone-based agricultural colonies to become an individual nation. Attempts at discovering alien civilizations come back without results.

2109: Reich makes breakthrough in tachyon messaging, able to send short audio messages, video continues to be elusive.

2122: Slaver and pirate raids increase dramatically, Reich and UISSR blame each other, Neo-Babylon and Splice-Tech suspect Maya.

2125: Rebel group declares war on ISS, ISS forced into civil war. Empire of Japan finally establishes an extrasolar colony, declare themselves the Interstellar Empire of Japan.

2129: IEJ begins experimenting with large "mechs" for use as weapons of war instead of industrial tools, swiftly discards them as impractical due to size.

2130: Small group of independent space stations take the discarded mech plans of the IEJ and begins modifying them. UISSR begins contemplating utilizing clones in their military and mass producing fighters and fighter carriers.

2133: UISSR decides to move military to clone-based fighter swarm tactics, countless cloning facilities developed on various UISSR worlds to supply numbers needed.

2139: Splice-Tech begins experimenting with nanotechnology, eventual goals unstated.

2142:  Group of independent space stations claim to have improved on the mech design, form a unifying government named Federation of Orbital Space Stations, utilize mechs as primary military vehicle. Terra declares itself separate from all interstellar nations.

2144: Various warlords are being assassinated, credit goes to group that call themselves Untrar. Untrar claims all territory previously held by the warlords and immediately ceases all outside contact.

2147: Neo Babylon developed Artificial Intelligence to maintain collective knowledge, named Marduk after the ancient Babylonian god.

2150: War between Reich and UISSR escalates as UISSR sends out first of their new fighter swarms, swarms utilize new fighter design similar to the letter X.

History: 2051-2100

2051: Splice-Tech decides to go from mercenary group, to full fledged nation; leaders purchase a used FTL capable ship from Reich and begins making plans for a colony world of their own.

2055: Reich secretly sends an unmanned FTL capable ship to the Centauri system, ship is programed to scan the system while it purges tachyons from its engine before making a return trip with the data that it acquired; purging of the engine takes four months, returns with data of two planets in the Golden Zone of habitability, plans begin for the first extrasolar colony.

2058: USSR scientists begin looking for ways to utilize the tachyons generated by FTL engines, initial theories are focused on weaponizing them. Splice-Tech secures colonization rights on Mars six kilometers from Reich settlement; immediately begins working on genetically engineering plants to live on Mars.

2062: Splice-Tech begins construction of domed settlement, initial projections place completion of outermost dome at seven months; outer dome completed and sealed in eight months, Splice-Tech begins planting of engineered plants designed to increase oxygen levels within the dome.

2064: Reich completes the ship meant to take supplies to Centauri system, it is the largest ship ever built by humans; when FTL engine activates the ship collapses in on itself. Examination of the wreckage finds that massive amounts of the ship are missing, theorized that the FTL engine can only transport a fixed area.

2065: ISS expedition to Centauri system finds missing portion of the ship meant to begin construction of the first extrasolar colony. Allows determination of maximum range of the FTL system: 750m×1km×2km.

2068: Reich sends colony fleet to the Centauri system just as the Second Interplanetary War begins. USSR reveals new ship class: fighters. The swarms of one man ships obliterate Reich ships in initial battles. Reich scrambles to find defenses against fighters. Splice-Tech sets up new technocratic government.

2070: Reich develops Laser-Verteidigung Gitter, or Laser Defense Grid, which balances out the war with the USSR. Empire of Japan sends fleet to the Hyades star cluster to begin colonization efforts, decide to make the trip in several jumps to ensure that the engines aren't strained beyond capacity.

2071: Fleet sent by Empire of Japan fails to reach destination, explanation for reason why becomes favorite topic of conspiracy theorists.

2074: ISS intervenes in the Second Interplanetary War when several missed shots almost collide with Earth, suggests that the two devote efforts in colonization of other star systems instead of fighting where Earth may be damaged, Reich and USSR agree.

2075: Reich, ISS, USSR, Splice-Tech, Neo Babylon, and Feudal Society devote all of their resources into colonization, assemble a joint fleet of generation ships inhabited by human clones to colonize as many systems as possible. USSR finally finds a use for tachyons, text based messages can be sent using tachyons, has side effect of purging engines faster.

2078: Several colonies established by the fleet sent out by the joint national group. Trading company named Argona forms between colonies to assist in sending agricultural produce they grow to Earth and other colonies. Some begin questioning what will happen when clone colonists begin having children.

2084: Maya colonizes three planets in a star system and abandon territory on Earth. USSR with establishment of extrasolar colonies adds interstellar to their nation's name. Reich colonizes seven different systems, makes capital world in Vega system.

2086: Now that both have several extrasolar colonies, Reich and UISSR resume war. Neo Babylon establishes itself as interstellar power with first extrasolar colony. ISS civilian ship decides to test limits of FTL engine, attempts to travel 12 lightyears in one trip, trip overheats the engine to such degree as to turn ship into molten slag. Safe range to be traveled in one trip declared to be 6.5 lightyears.

2089: Several individual warlords begin carving out their own territories at edge of known space. Splice-Tech survey ship discovers unknown alien object, trajectory of Earth-sized asteroid determined to collide with the object in two months; object and asteroid determined to be too large to prevent collision, Splice-Tech reluctantly does nothing.
