20,000,000,000 BCE - The Big Bang. This universe as well as an adjoining sub-universe is born simultaneously.
1,000,000 BCE- In the sub-universe, a spiritual energy lifeform comes into being. It gradually evolves into a sentient lifeform. Life is born in this universe as well. It evolves and becomes its first sentient lifeform, the Protoculture.
500,000 BCE - First year of Protoculture Calendar (PC 0).
497,600 BCE [PC 2,400]- The first space colonization of the Protoculture begins (with the use of sub-light-velocity spaceships). [PC 2,600]
497,500 BCE [PC 2,500] - The mass production of the "Zentraadi", giant biological weapons for proxy warfare, begins. The "Zentraadi" contribute greatly to the expansion of the Protoculture's sphere of influence. [PC 2,600]
49,7300 BCE [PC 2,700] - The second space colonization of the Protoculture begins (by super-light-velocity spaceships using fold navigation).
497,200 BCE [PC 2,800] - Unification of the Stellar Republic by the Protoculture.
497,140 BCE [PC 2,860] - Within the excessively overexpanding Stellar Republic, internal rifts begin forming. The internal rifts eventually develop into large-scale conflicts that split the Stellar Republic into two.
497,135 BCE [PC 2,865] - Development on powerful biological weapons based on the Zentraedi, the "Ehvil Series," begins. Ehvil is the abbreviation of the Protoculture term for "advanced (Zentraedi) all-enivron biological weapon." Trial production takes place on a scientifically advanced planet (the first planet of the star system later known as Baroota,) but because of unresolvable problems with the weapons' power exceeding the fighting capability requirements, trial production is halted.
497,132 BCE [PC 2,868] - On the scientifically advanced planet, the existence of a sub-universe is confirmed. According to survey results, this sub-universe abounds with super high levels of extra-dimensional energy, and this energy is discovered to have the potential for application. The trial production of super dimension energy gates which can supply energy from the sub-universe begins, and genetically engineered biological super dimension organs are developed. These biological super dimension organs are extremely compact, and they are expected to supply enormous amounts of energy. The internal conflicts within the Stellar Republic revives the development of the "Ehvil Series", and the trial production begins implementing the technology from the terminated "Ehvil Series." No problems are uncovered in simulations.
BC 497,130 [PC 2,870] - A Protoculture survey ship stops temporarily on "Earth." By genetically reconstructing the native life, it plots the emergence of a sub-Protoculture adapted to the planetary environment, "Humankind," to prepare for future colonization. During its return to its home planet, the survey ship is destroyed by military ships opposed to the Stellar Republic. Records of Earth and Humankind are eventually lost. [PC 2900]
497,129 BCE [PC 2,871] - On the scientifically advanced planet, trial production of the "Ehvil Series" for final tests begins. Seven Ehvil Series weapons of seven types, including a highly mobile, humanoid "Sivil," for search-and-destroy functions, and a super-scale, high-powered "Glavil," for fleet warfare are completed. The Ehvil Series tests begin, but at the same time, the biological super dimension organs overload and extradimensional energy is released. The Ehvil Series' bodies are occupied by spiritual energy life forms from the sub-universe and thus creating, from the massive fighting capability of the Ehvil Series and the enormous potential of the spiritial energy, beings with extraordinary fighting ability and a coveting for "Spiritia", life energy. They covet Spiritia in order to continue existing as extra-dimensional beings in this universe. They begin invading the surrounding planets and systems using the spaceships and weapons of the people from the scientifically advanced planet that they brainwashed; which later becomes known as the Supervision Army.
Three months later, the internal conflicts of the Stellar Republic halt, as efforts are devoted against the extradimensional energy beings occupying the Ehvil Series, dubbed "Protodeviln." However, over 30% of the Stellar Republic and several hundred systems are under Protodeviln control and the Spiritia-deprived people number in the several hundred billion. The Zentraadi fight in the conflict, but due to their prime directive of "Do not interfere with the Protoculture," they are unable to fight effectively against the brainwashed Protoculture people under the control of the Protodeviln.
Unspecified: A Protoculture survey ship charts the Char system. LV-426 is noted as a colonizeable planet.
497,128 BCE [PC 2,872] - Nine months after the emergence of Protodeviln, over 85% of life in the Stellar Republic is lost. There is direct combat between the Protodeviln with their army of manipulated Protoculture people (the Supervision Army) and the Zentraadi.
Unspecified: A Protoculture City Spaceship arrives to explore LV-426. On the planet, a humanoid life form with the potential of evolving into intelligent life is discovered. The Protoculture decide to evolve the life form and not colonize the planet. Their City Spaceship lands in a lake in a jungle covered, rocky, mineral rich highland, surrounded by seas on three sides. They evolve the humanoids, who flourish on the planet and begin developing a civilization.
497,127 BCE [PC 2,873] - Approximately one year after the emergence of the Protodeviln, their power begins to rapidly decline. The "Protodeviln sealing operation": Protoculture people (known as Anima Spiritia) who are significant in the war against the Protodeviln, are determined to have influential powers over the Protodeviln. The Protodeviln are completely sealed in special chambers through the efforts of the Anima Spiritia.
497,125 BCE [PC 2,875] - The Protoculture population continues to decrease even through the Protodeviln are sealed. The network among each colonized planet disintegrates. Control of the Zentraadi is lost and the reissuing of the prime directive "Do not interfere with the Protoculture" becomes ineffective.
497,120 BCE [PC 2,880]: Supervision Forces arrive at LV-426 and turn the humanoids into warriors for their armed forces. The Protocultures, on the hidden City Spaceship, attempt to stop the Supervision Army by stimulating an ice age. Their actions are detected by the Supervision Forces, who attempt to locate the hidden Protocultures.
497,118 BCE [PC 2,882]: Having failed to locate the hidden Protocultures on LV-426, the Supervision Forces detonate a large anti-spiritia weapon. The detonation reacts with the energies the Protocultures have been using to stimulate an ice age. In a violent cascading reaction, all of the water on the planet is transformed to silicate sand. Both the Protoculture City Ship and the flagship of the Supervision Forces which had approached the surface to detonate the weapon, are caught and quickly buried deep in the planet's surface.
497,115 BCE [PC 2,885]: The Protocultures, not having sufficient resources to either escape or survive, die buried in their City Ship. A Supervision Forces' scientist, who would later become known as The Sultan, and her top aides, are able to create a deep-freeze for themselves to survive in, until they are rescued.
497,000 BCE [PC 3,000] - Dissolution of Stellar Republic. Opposition between the Supervision and Zentraadi factions begins.
495,000 BCE [PC 5,000] - In what still remains of the Stellar Republic, only a small number of separated colonized planets, colonization fleets, space colony clusters [bunches], and other populations at the edge of the galaxy, are left.
475,000 BCE [PC 25,000] - Near annihilation of Protoculture.
380,000 BCE - Annihilation of automated reaction weaponry production plants.
278,000 BCE [280,000 cycles before the present] - Destruction of the Glaug automated production system by an all-front Supervision Army attack on the Roiquonmi weaponry plant.
1,700 BCE [3,700 cycles before the present] - Almost new Glaug units recovered from an opened weapons storage facility.

June
- Space Station New Frontier completed in satellite orbit.
1998
Space Station New Frontier, located 36,000 km above the Phoenix Islands, detects an intense radioactive phenomenon at the Lunar orbit, followed by an appearance of an object of great mass. Furthermore, it confirms that object is heading towards Earth, coming 5.88 km closer every second. After approximately 18 hours, it will fall onto the Earth's surface. Upon receiving the report, the UN Space Agency confers with the heads of every nation. They each eventually adopt a response plan.
06:00 JST: The falling object is determined by its form and other features to be an unknown object very different from a meteorite, and its forecasted path after atmospheric entry is made public (but as a meteorite).
07:00 JST: Since Japan is only separated by about 1,500 km from the predicted crashpoint, the news is announced in Japan in the form of an earthquake warning due to the panic predicted. The response plan is adopted.
18:15 JST: Amidst a dispute between a faction advocating to destroy the object by nuclear attack and factions advocating for no attack, the object named "EVA" (Evangel, which means the Gospel of the Coming,) enters the atmosphere above Burma. Due to the high temperatures and terrific shock waves, it reduces the summit of Mount Everest by nearly 1,000 meters, destroys Moscow and Stockholm, and inflicts damage while passing over all parts of Europe. Furthermore, it travels over Iceland and Greenland, causes volcanoes to erupt in Canada, and crashes onto South Ataria Island, at the southernmost tip of the Ogasawara Islands, above the Tropic of Cancer.
After July 17 - Upon investigation by the UN, the meteorite is determined to be an alien spaceship. It is designated with the codename ASS-1 (Alien Starship-1). Official announcements are made that an asteroid, 3 km in diameter and composed of great quantities of metal, fell. Due to the great destructive damage, abnormal weather and starvation is caused in all parts of America, Russia [USSR], Europe and the rest of the world by the shock waves accompanying the fall of the ASS-1. The existence of aliens is treated as top secret until the confusion is brought under control. What begins as an emergency summit meeting between America and Russia [USSR] becomes a summit meeting between every nation.
August - UN Investigation Teams are organized. Thorough study of the ASS-1 begins by the UN Investigation Teams. South Ataria Island is designated a UN sphere of jurisdiction.

After a flight over the polar icecaps, where rapidly growing blooms of algae are observed, they are ordered to investigate a reflection in the desert observable from orbit. They discover a buried spaceship. Investigating, they find a creature, apparently abandoned, in a makeshift hospital observation bed. The creature is killed when it wrenches the gun pod way from the flight's 2 in command; who causes the creature to explode in nuclear fire when she attempts to cut her gun pod free from the creature's death grip by using her head laser. The creature's blood is composed of liquid reactant fuel. All of the Zero-G's VFs are damaged and the ship collapses, burying what little remaines of the creature in the desert.
16, Tuesday - The Death Angels are sent to El Dante in the El Dorado system to observe a chemical weapons plant that has a weekly visit from a transport ship that matches that of the SSSP's. They make a brief stopover on the UNS Oh-mu, a Sentinel Class Stealth Scout Ship.
17, Wednesday - The UNS Argo leaves LV-426 to begin preparations for a small UNSM strike against 'the free colony' of Hasbron. The invasion is to commence during the following week.
21, Monday - The UNSM invasion of Hasbron is a failure. The real purpose of the mission is to gather information on the location of the Anti-UN's hidden mobile weapons plant. The UNSM call off the invasion when Marines are taken hostage and Anti-UN reinforcements arrive. The Roughnecks leave to attack the Anti-UN mobile weapons plant.
The UNS names one of the Uraga class carriers being built in the shipyards of the Apollo Moon Base "Rainbow Warrior III". Squadrons assigned to the "Rainbow Warrior II" are also resurrected at the same time.
22, Tuesday - The Death Angels successfully destroy the chemical weapons plant and transport ship on El Dante. They return to the UNS Argo, in orbit of LV-426, where they get four days leave.

Britannia formally requests that the Unified Government return all of its personnel. Suspicions rise in the Unified Government that Britannia 'may' have had advance knowledge of the Anti-UN invasion of Eskar III.
4, Friday - A small UNG convey of gas and cargo transports in Sector Seven, escorted by a single Bolognese Frigate, defolded at its scheduled time and location in deep space and are immediately attacked and sunk by multiple Black Sambas.
6, Sunday: midmorning - one of the Three-Stars orbiting LV-426 deposits a landing platform on the top of the terraforming tower. During the operation, a gravity dampening field is deployed that causes more of the crashed and buried Protoculture Colonization and Science Ship under the terraforming tower to activate.
Death Angels and the 13th MEU fold to Eskar III, form up with the 9th MEU, and begin a war with the People's Republic Army to liberate the emigrant planet.
7, Monday - The combined Sovereign Independant States Forces (People's Republic Army and Eskar III Colony Defence Force) successfully defeats the UNSM task force; the survivors of which are immediatly captured as POWs. A ceasefire between the combatants is declared and the Unified Forces' backup fleet that arrives mere minutes too late, retreats by fold. Negotiations for the return of Unified Government personnel begin.
14, Monday - The return of the Unified Government POWs from Eskar III is successfully negotiated. The cost is Unified Government recognition of both the ceeding of Eskar III to, and the existence of the Sovereign Independent States. In addition to taxation rights for ships passing through an area stretching 10 AU light years from Eskar III's star. The POWs are transported to the sector capital of Sector 8, Janix II. The current magistrate of the sector, Marine Colonel Masumi, is off leading a battle against the Iconoclast terrorists on New Essex.
- The Sovereign Independant States broadcast propaganda against the UNSM that "invaded" Eskar III, causes the weighty eye of the public in the Unified Government to fall on them. The 13th MEU is quickly put on trial for its heavy-handed activities on and before Eskar III. UNS Admiral Perry strongly denounces the 13th MEU and Brigadier General Ravins role in the invasion.
15, Tuesday - Troops of the 13th MEU arrive at Fioria for an extended leave. The widly televised trial of the 13th MEU begins.
17, Wednesday - The SSSP's Transport defolds near Momoyama-3 and deploys an attack wave of Black Sambas, which quickly destroy the defence force interceptors, the GcC Orion VII, a gas transport vessel, and heavily damages the mining platform Core, all owned and operated by Galactic Kroner. The ship then moves into Seed's orbit (Momoyama-3's moon,) and fires a heavy-particle beam-like weapon at Momodani, the main settlement, leaving a 750 m diameter blast crater.
18, Friday - The trial of the 13th MEU ends with the disbandment of the 13th MEU. Ravins, along with a few other senior staff of the 13th MEU are "demoted" to desk jobs as punishment for their "role" in events.
19, Saturday - Negotiations conclude between Britannia's government, the ruling body of the Sovereign Independent States (SIS) and the government of Eskar III, with the return of the POW Lt. Lexington, and Britannia's signing of a treaty of non-aggression with the SIS that also states that Britannia recognizes both the SIS and that Eskar III is a member of the SIS. The Unified Government loses access to the vital fleet repair and supply resources that Britannia provides for their continued suppressive actions against the SIS. The treaty provides the government of Britannia with an excuse to distance themselves from the belligerent actions that the Unified Government continues to take against member planets.
20, Sunday - The Death Angels are called back to duty and ordered to report to "level 69" of the Terraforming Tower of LV-426. Britannia activates and puts all of its Coloney Defence Forces (CDF) on high alert. The space CDF fleet is deployed to patrol all points of the Charest system in anticipation of an attack by the Sector 7 Space Pirates.
21, Monday - on LV-426, the Black Wraiths squad forms from out of the ashes of the Death Angels, with additional transfers from the fleet. They begin retraining in the VF-22 and Mk. 3.09 Power Armour in preperation for their mission to stop the Sector 7 Space Pirates (SSSP).
22, Tuesday - the Archers arrive at their assigned ship, the Rainbow Warrior III, which is just finishing construction in the Apollo Moon Base, and are sent on a training patrol. Immediately after take off, two VF-19s of the squad crash into the moon's surface; which results in one fatality and one pilot being put into critical condition. While the investigation continues, Major Kim is assigned to oversee the training of the Archers.
- The Rainbow Warrior III launches from the Apollo Moon Base's shipyards and successfully test flies around the moon. The ship joins the Earth Defense Force by parking itself in Earth orbit.
23, Wednesday - Britannia is attacked by Meltrandi mercenaries and the SSSP's Transport, protected by Black Sambas. The SSSP's ship fires its main weapon and vaporizes New London, turning it into a giant blast crater. As the city is in the center of the planet, the subsequent fireball and shock wave causes damage to other cities, and devastates a huge portion of the planet's agriculture and industry. The orbital shipyards are also destroyed in the attack and the mercenaries capture three Colony Defence Force ships. Just before the attackers retreat, the SSSP's transport appears to malfunction and partially explode.
- Researchers on LV-426 detonate an extremely large Test Spiritia Bomb on the planet's surface. The bomb releases positive spiritia energy that causes a chain reaction which turns 1/3 of the planet's desert surface into water! Settled areas along the edges of the hills and mountains are hit by a massive tsunami. The entire planet's surface is then hit with monsoonal rains and typhoonal storms resulting in massive flooding in low lying areas and narrow valleys and canyons. The Black Wraiths, who are on a spiritia warfare training mission, are swept up in the chain reaction. When they recover from the initial impact, they are attacked by giant spiritia bugs which are apparently from below the surface of the planet.
25, Friday - the Archers assist in the transfer of supplies, munitions, equipment and additional vehicles to the Rainbow Warrior III. After, during a capture the flag training paintball game, the UNS Archer, a Bolognese Frigate, defolds and rams the asteroid that the squad is gaming at. The heavily damaged frigate is investigated, and the Archers discover that it had been involved in a battle where the enemy had attempted to seize control of the ship. The Captain of the Archer had fought them off, after a lot of crew casualties, by blowing some hatches and sucking the atmosphere out of the ship.
- During the night, the Rainbow Warrior III folds to White Flora Satellite City, in Jupiter's orbit.
26, Saturday - The Archers learn that 3 weeks earlier, the M15 fleet was attacked, and that the UNS Archer was one of that fleet's ships. The current status of the M15 fleet is unknown. Other mysterious ships and fleet disappearances amongst the Unified Forces are heard, especially a rumored rogue fleet in the 7th Sector - exactly where the Archers, Rainbow Warrior III and the 13th Galaxy Patrol are embarking to.
- The Archers are sent to investigate a mysterious force of VFs that attacked a mining operation in the Momoyama system. They stablish camp on Seed, in the Momoyama system. Part of the squad leaves to perform a recon of the area; due to pilot error and miscommunication, there is a mid-air collision. One pilot is KIA and the other is MIA. The search for the MIA pilot is posponed as a local news chopper arrives to investigage the sudden fire in the forest near the main settlement.
27, Sunday - The Anti-UN forces on Seed take the Archers by surprise and destroy over half of the squad. The other half are either too damaged or scattered to mount an effective counterattack. The Anti-UN forces make their escape from the planet while the Archers call for rescue.
