SubWorld Universe Timeline

This timeline covers the overall events in the entire SubWorld Universe, including the Canonical Timeline and the Alternate Timeline.

Canonical Timeline
The Cannonical Timeline refers to the events in the original SubWorld 2095 Timeline, followed hundreds of years later by the Caprica Timeline, which begins in 2200, while 5220 is the current date.

2048

 * The construction of Newhope, and its surrounding mining outposts are completed.

2049

 * Anti-Gravity Technology is now common, this technology helps with the design and construction of the Ark Ships.

2051

 * The city of Ariel, is officially completed, becoming the largest city in the world, and the capital of the Global Commonwealth.
 * The Global Commonwealth for Disaster Management becomes the Global Commonwealth of Allied Cities.

 * Many animals now only synthetic clones.

2071

 * Food Crisis rocks the world as overpopulation reaches record highs.
 * First Ark Ships construction completed.
 * Ark Ships begin boarding.

2072

 * First Ark Ship, Serenity, lands on planet Venus (Jinxing). Terraforming Begins.
 * First Ark Ship, Tranquility, lands on planet Mars (Huoxing). Terraforming Begins.

2073

 * First Settlement on Venus, Serenity, is established.

2074

 * First Settlement on Mars, Ningjing, is established.

2076

 * Terraforming of Venus (Jinxing) nearing completion, planet open for construction and emigration.

2078

 * 34Procul(2078) star cluster discovered, 4.2124 light years from Earth, found to have 3 protostars orbiting a Main Sequence Star, and found to have many planets that are possible templates for terraforming.
 * Plan put forward that if terraforming fails, generation ark ships could be launched to this cluster and planets could be terraformed.

2085

 * Terraforming of Mars (Huoxing) complete, Mars open for construction and emigration.
 * First emigration ships reach Mars and Venus.
 * Yutanyi Corporation;s profits soar as newly opened worlds mean more business.

2089

 * Earth's population falls to 3.8 Billion. Over 6 Million people have left Earth since 2081, however many people choose to stay on Earth, and people who have not passed the medical to leave Earth are forced to stay.

2200

 * The atmosphere of Earth can no longer sustain life, and citizens still inhabiting Earth are forced to evacuate the planets now acidic atmosphere.

2437

 * Faster Than Light travel is first tested, with positive results.

2723

 * Faster Than Light Drives are first implemented in space travel, which brings forward a new golden era in human society.

2725

 * First un-manned FTL missions are sent out from Mars and Venus, to reach distant stars, including the Procus System and the Caprica Star System.

2797

 * The first un-manned FTL mission reaches the Procus System, and data is sent back to mission control on Venus.

2802

 * First unmanned FTL mission reaches the Caprica Star System, revealing two terrestrial planets with a habitable atmosphere.

2813

 * Manned missions are sent to the Caprica Star System for colonisation of the two habitable planets.

2847

 * Manned missions reach the planets of the Caprica System, colonies are settled on the planets surfaces.

2990

 * By 2990 the colonies in the Caprica System have become developed societies, and memories of the Solar System and humanities origins begin to loose prominence as contact is minimal.

4341

 * The environments of Mars and Venus will become uninhabitable in less than 100 years.

5156

 * The enviornments of Mars and Venus are almost uninhabitable, and huge FTL capable Ark Ships are loaded with the remains of the settlers from what is now known as 'Earth-That-Was' and journey to the Caprica System, as the human colonies in the system are now their only hope.

5209

 * The journey from the Solar System to the Caprica System ends, with the descendants of humanity reaching the flourshing human colonies in the system. The colonists learn of humanities origin, however how long this knowledge will last is only a matter of time.

Alternate Timeline
The Alternate Timeline covers the events of SubWorld 2380, which is set in an alternate universe where terraforming in the Solar System fails and humanity leaves for the Procus System, which is much closer than the Caprica Star System, but does not contain any habitable planets.

The alternate timeline diverges from the Canonical in 2085.
