• 2054: Supreme Corporate Court founded.

• 2055: United Nations recognizes AI with full self-awareness as beings with full human rights and privileges, there is an immediate backlash in technophobic parts of the world.

• 2057: Worldhouse Colonization styled projects started by the United Nations Space Coalition begin on Europa.

• 2058: World-wide nuclear De-armament occurs, reducing the total nuclear weapons on earth by 70%

• 2060: The First Singularity event occurs, humanity as a whole begins to progress more rapidly technologically than ever conceived of.

• 2061: Permanent city on Luna established.

• 2063: Massive Orbital habitat “O'neil” class station is completed representing a giant leap in the capability for humans to expand into the stars.

• 2070: The first humans altered into what would be the “new humans of mars” (aka 'Modern Martians') are born.

• 2071: Advancements in Nanotechnology bring about the concepts of terraforming that could be done on worlds previously impossible to do within any reasonable timescale.

• 2072: Nano-Particle Terraforming is tested on Venus. With results far above expectations, Venus would be a new world completely earthlike, not in a thousand years, but a single lifetime.

• 2073: Alpha Centauri colonization started. Nano-Particle Terraforming is deployed on Mars.

• 2074: Worldhouse Colonization for Europa is abandoned, as Nano-Particle Terraforming is put into play instead.

• 2075: Trade lane project is started. The technology behind the Standardized Tech Template comes into existence.

• 2076: Colonization begins in the asteroid belt by various corporations and independent homesteaders.

• 2077: Automated Colonization ships are sent to Saturn and Uranus by a secret cabal of individuals from Europa. First group of Jovians are born.

• 2099: Gen 2 Nano-Particle Terraforming technology comes into existence, reducing terraforming time by roughly half.

2100's

• 2100: Human population reaches 20 Billion.

• 2118: Nano-Particle Terraforming Completed on Venus. First Venusian born.

• 2120: Colonization begins on Callisto, Ganymede and Io.

• 2121: Jovian forces secure colonization efforts in Saturn and Uranus. Terraforming of Titan and Enceladus begins.

• 2140: Largest colonization project in human history is commenced when multiple inhabitable planets are discovered in the Sirius System, over half a million volunteers were sent in a massive sleeper fleet, armed with the latest in automatic colonization and construction robotics, by the time the crew would awake there would be a massive self sustaining city awaiting them.

• 2143: World War 3 begins, 500 million people die on Earth within the first hour.

• 2145: World War 3 ends, with 1.6 billion casualties. A global military government takes power and institutes an emergency government.

• 2146: The free state of Neo-Roma Nomads comes into existence, depart earth to explore the solar system.

• 2147: United Republic of Earth Declared as new sovereign government over all Earth Affairs and territories.

• 2148: Reactionary war begins in Jovian Territories, the UER is unable to intercede due to lack of capable forces.

• 2149: Jovian Empire founded, declares secession from UER and starts down a path of radical anti-artificial intelligence.

• 2150: Nano-Particle Terraforming Completed on Mars.

• 2151: Nano-Particle Terraforming Completed on Europa. Arklane Kusovari is Born.

• 2158: Venus is granted semi-autonomy from UER. Alpha Centauri Colony semi-autonomy from UER.

• 2175: Attempts to colonize Neptune are made by a group of entrepreneurs, there is a short-lived kingdom that comes into place with its capital on triton. The remnant would be lead by the Archduke after the kings' death that same year forming the Archduchy of Triton.

• 2180: First Tritonite born.

2200's

• 2200: Human population despite a huge setback outpaces the massive burst of death that occurred on earth due to the continued rapid expansion of meta-human augments being born. Human population in total reaches 63 Billion. Technology progress continues to be greatly slowed down due a slow recovery on earth from WW3 and Jovian hostility to 'thinking machines'. These actions create a growing divide between the Jovian state and Saturn/Uranus, the people of Saturn have been swiftly growing to embrace cyberization and Uranus's population has a strong sense of individuality wanting to leave such choice to each person.

• 2217: Mars declares intent to secede from the UER, forms the Commonwealth of Mars this quickly escalates into a full conflict (UER-CoM war) after the assassination of the UER prime minister, perhaps it is the greatest of twisted ironies that the prime minister at the time was on their way to Mars to negotiate allowing the Commonwealth of Mars its independence.

• 2218: Projects commence on both Saturn and Uranus to create their own meta-races, though based on the Jovian geneseed they each took quite unique directions.

• 2219: Jovia begins covertly supplying both sides in the UER-CoM War, however this does not last long as the dissatisfaction back home with the monarchy is swiftly leading to an all out revolution. By years end Uranus declares sovereignty and homerule, expelling or executing any members of the Jovian puppet government. First 'Saturnian' Born. Late into the year the UER employs a mass driver attack on mars, severely damaging its ecosystem.

• 2220: The UER-CoM War comes to a close when desperate CoM forces preform a colony drop onto earth itself, large swaths of the North American west coast are devastated by the impact and resulting tidal waves. Commonwealth of Mars granted it's request to seceede.

• 2221: Venus is granted independence from the UER, but remains a strong ally.

• 2235: Trade lane system created, and first of the thirteen constructed Freeports created.

• 2237: First Uranian born.

• 2280: All communication with Sirius sleeper fleet lost just before planet fall was to begin. There has been no contact what so ever since.

• 2300: Total Human population 107 Billion.

2300's

• 2341: Current Date. Total known human population approx 145 Billion.
