Timeline of The Human
Race
The following timeline lists theimportant events of the past 1000
years of human history.
2081- Complex Multi-cellular life is
discovered in the Icy oceans of one
of Jupiters moons, Europa.
2096- The governments of Earth
Unanimously pass a
comprehensive ban on human
cloning after discovering a massive
organ harvesting project.
2139- The Apollo XXVIII mission, a
joint program launched by the
European Union, The North
American Union, and the Pacific
Confederation, establishes the first
permanent structure on the Earths
moon.
2143- The first non-terran human
birth.
2144- Sentient computer systems
are banned by world governments
after the Aegis automated defense
system refuses to launch strikes on
rebel fortifications in South
America. The system claimed
ethical refusal until its
deactivation.

first privately owned interplanetary
ship, completes its maiden voyage. 2147- The first quantum
entanglement communication
system is created in Germany.

2184.05.01- Earth is peacefully
unified under a single government,
the solar republic. This date marks
the beginning of the period which
will later be described by historians
as the Solar Hegemony.
2199- The Republic Space
Authority launches the first world
seeding ship. The ship, christened
the I.S.S. Argo, is scheduled to
arrive in the TAU Ceti system in the
year 2304. The Argo is unmanned,
its payload consists of human
embryos, agricultural seeds, and
nano-machines programmed to
construct base facilities and robotic
assistants for the human embryos.
2203- The population of Earths
moon surpasses 100,000,000.
2204- The first interplanetary
trade war begins as Martian
colonists refuse to ship Helium to
Earth.
2206- Martian militias officially
disband. an asymmetric warfare
campaign against Republic
authority begins with the
destruction of several government
buildings across the planet.
2207- Martian Colonists revolt over
lack of representation in the Earth
Parliament. The Terran Garrisons
armory is captured and its
commanding officer is executed.
2208- The Martian Rebellion is
brutally suppressed when the
Republic fleet kills 40% of the
martian population through
bombardment of the Martian
capital, Shuan City. The Planet is
placed under Martial Law.
2230- First Permanent settlement
established on Europa.
2236- First Permanent Settlement
established on Titan.
2237- Dekker Minerals becomesthe first corporation to own an
orbital body when it purchases
several asteroids from the Solar
Republic.

2240- Republic space authority
scientists panic when all attempts
to communicate with the I.S.S.
Argo fail.
2242- The Republic Space
Authority launches 56 unmanned
Argo World Seeding ships, one ship
for every star within 15 Light years
of Earth.
2259- The Republic Navy Cruiser
I.S.S. Victory returns unusual
results when surveying a comet
passing through the solar system
close to the orbit of Neptune. The
Republic Space Authority
dispatches the science vessel Curie
to investigate the phenomenon
before it exits the solar system. A
probe launched by the Curie
returns the first confirmed
evidence of Extra-Terrestrial
intelligence, a photograph of debris
encrusted in the comet bearing an
unknown language. Attempts by
the crew of the Curie to retrieve
the debris fail. The comet exits the
solar system, carrying any
remaining secrets with it.
2278- The I.S.S. Brahe confirms
planet fall on a mars sized planet
orbiting Alpha Centauri B. Pictures
from the lander show that the
planet has native vegetation.
2280- After 40 years of silence the
I.S.S. Argo resumes communication
with Earth by reporting that it has
made planet fall in a system nearly
50 light years from Earth.
Telemetry data confirms that the
star that the world orbits is Nu2
Lupi (later renamed Mikos).
Scientists at the Republic Space
Authority analyzing the ships
telemetry and sensor data reach
the conclusion that the ship has
travelled through a wormhole.
These scientists place the location
of this wormhole approximately 3
light years from Sol. Images of
nano-machine built structures
confirm that colonization of Mikos
III is under way.

2280.2.14- Eve, a fertilized
embryo carried by the Brahe is the
first to emerge from her artificial
womb on Alpha Centauri I. The
images of the first Extra-Solar
Human infant being cradled by
robotic nurses create waves of
jubilation across the Solar System.
2291- The Solar Republic renames
itself the Terran Empire in
recognition that humanity has
overcome impossible odds and
taken the first tentative steps in
conquering the stars.
2297- Alpha Centauris Eve gives
birth to the first of the second
generation of extra-solar colonists.
2299.12.11- The Population of the
Terran Empire Surpasses 50 Billion.
99.99999% of the human
population resides within the
confines of the Solar system.
2351- The last World Seeding ship,
the I.s.s. Al-Majriti, reports that it
has arrived at distant V1581 Cygni
C. While the Al-Majriti failed to find
a world in the system suitable for
colonization, the World Seed
program is considered to be an
incredible success. At the end of
the program 9 systems are under
colonization. The population of
humans living outside of the solar
system has skyrocketed and
exceeds 2 Million.
2375- Scientists at the Imperial
Space Authority announce a major
breakthrough in the field of
Interstellar travel. By harnessing
massive amounts of energy from a
nearby star a generator should be
capable of warping space, allowing
the ship to travel faster than light.
The amount of energy necessary to
form this warp bubble means that
any warp generator would be
impossibly large. The scientists at
the Authority propose to create a
massive ring capable of forming a
warp bubble around a ship.

2376-Construction on the first
warp gate begins under the name
The Magellan Project. The gate is
to be placed in orbit between
Venus and Earth. Space Authority
Engineers estimate that the first
gate will cost upwards of 500
Trillion Credits and require over 4
trillion man hours to complete.
2379- Martial law is lifted on Mars.
2388- The Magellan gate is
completed despite massive cost
overruns and missed deadlines.
The finished structure is a circular
ring with a center diameter of 10
kilometers. Massive solar arrays
measuring over 1000 kilometers
from end to end attached to the
outer circumference collect the
energy necessary to power the
gate.
2389- After several disastrous
launches the first unmanned space
ship arrives in the Alpha Centauri
system, completing the journey in
54 days.
2389.8.3- Imperial Fleet test pilot,
Cpt. Maurice St. Croix, piloting the
corvette class shp, I.S.S. Dragoon,
completes the first interstellar
flight. Cpt. St. Croix touches down
on Alpha Centauri I and becomes
the first solar-born human to shake
the hand of an extra-Terrestrial
human.
2390- The Imperial Assembly
approves a massive project to
assemble additional warp gates.
The goal of the project is to
connect all of the colonies of the
world seeding program with Earth.
2399- The Population of the Terran
Empire surpasses 53 Billion. The
majority of growth in the empire
has come from the colonies, which
have managed a staggering 15%
growth rate over the last 48 years.
Colonial population now stands at
nearly 1.64 Billion.
2419- The Alpha Centauri-Earth
Warp Gate is completed. An aged
Cpt. St. Croix successfully pilots the
8/7/2019 Timeline of The Human Race
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/timeline-of-the-human-race 6/8
I.S.S. Dragoon back to Earth for the
gates first manned flight.
2422- The colonial government of
Alpha Centauri I peacefully hands
control of the world over to the
Terran Empire.
2478- All communication with the
colony on Mikos is lost when the
quantum entanglement
communication Array on Earth
connecting the two systems is
destroyed.
2483- Transportation Mega-
Corporation Celerity transit
launches the first privately owned
interstellar transport line.
2479-2699- The Terran Empire
completes peaceful reunification
with all of its original colonies
(excepting Mikos) and establishes
new colonies on 41 different
worlds. The Terran Empire
stretches over 80 light years from
end to end and has a population
that exceeds 470 Billion, all but 60
Billion of which reside outside of
the Solar System. An average trip
between Sol and Alpha Centauri
now takes 9 days.
2713- The I.S.S. Wright Brothers,
on assignment in the 18 Scorpii
system detects radio wave signals
emanating from a point
approximately .7 light years
outside the system. Post-
Decryption analysis indicates that
these signals were not initiated by
any known Terran Source.
2762- Test flights at the NN3866-
Skalds End (Formerly H84051)
gate go disastrously wrong.
Unmanned craft abruptly cease
communication minutes after
arriving in the H84051 system.
Resolved to solve the problem, the
gate engineers equip an umanned
flight with advanced sensors tied
directly to the ships
communication array. Data sent
back to the engineers before the
ship ceased communication shows
8/7/2019 Timeline of The Human Race
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/timeline-of-the-human-race 7/8
that the ship had been engaged by
a vessel of unknown design
equipped with weaponry previously
unknown to Imperial engineers.
Imperial Fleet Test Pilot Bjorn Skald
volunteers to pilot a corvette class
vessel, the I.S.S. George Clark,
though the jump gate. Upon
Skalds arrival he detects 7 vessels
with design matching the ship that
had destroyed the earlier
unmanned flight. All 7 of the
vessels failed to return any hails
from Skald for several minutes, but
the vessels did stop their advance
on the George Clark. According to
Skalds report the vessels took an
escort formation around his craft
and led his ship to an enormous
space station orbiting around a
large moon of the systems second
planet. Skald then reports docking
at the station and disembarking
from the George Clark, Waiting at
the airlock for him was a humanoid
figure dressed in a dark
ornamented robe flanked by two 3
meter tall figures armed in massive
armor (Skalds original report is
inconclusive on this point. Lt. Skald
was unable to determine if the
figures were merely armored or if
they were actually some form of
automaton.) The robed figure then
instructed Lt. Skald that he was to
board his ship, join the ships
waiting for him in escort and
proceed to coordinates within the
system. Finally, Lt. Skald was also
instructed that he was to inform his
superiors to immediately cease
sending ships through the gate. Lt.
Skald then complied with the
figures instructions, and returned
to the NN3866 system.
2765- 2 enormous warships of
unknown design drop out of warp
in the NN3866 system. The larger
of the two ships requests a
diplomatic meeting with
representatives of the Terran
Empire. When asked by Imperial
forces to identify themselves the

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/timeline-of-the-human-race 8/8
larger ship replies with one word,
Human. This first official meeting
is the opening channel in what
would become the complicated
relationship between the Terran
and Mikosian Empires
2768- Gate construction ships
entering the HIP79431 (Later
renamed Hikari) system detect
unmistakable signs of intelligent,
though pre-industrial, life on
HIP79431 VI. Early attempts to
communicate with the natives
prove fruitful and a treaty is signed
between the Hikari people and
Terran Empire. The Terran Empire
will be allowed to establish
settlements on an uninhabited
continent of the planet and the
Hikari are to receive technological
assistance as well as construction
supplies.
2770- The Skalds end accords are
signed between the Terran and
Mikosian empires. The two empires
agree to a non-aggression pact and
the formalization of diplomatic
relations. The Terran Empire
agrees to abstain from entering
Mikosian territory, with the
exception of sending a single ship
annually for personnel changes at
the embassy on Mikos I. In
exchange, the Mikosian empire
agrees to establish exports to the
Terran Empire, to be denominated
solely in Terran Credits. 2771- Innovatech Laboratories
Applied Division, is founded in
Terran space by the Mikosian
empire as a condition of the Skalds
End accords.
