Macross Timeline

The Protoculture Era

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
