*2055 - The University of Miami concludes decades of climate research that resulted in several technologies help to begin reversing dangerous CO2 levels in the atmosphere. These breakthroughs lead to new theories and research into terraforming, which in turn lead to the first realistic proposals for colonization beyond earth.

*2104 - Glen Sorenson invents the first [[Mechanized Worker]].
*2126 - The United Kingdom lands the HMS Victoria [[colony ship]] upon the surface Mars in [[wikipedia:Victoria_(crater)|Victoria Crater]]. They name the newly formed city [[Mars Prime]], and Parliament votes to rename the country to the [[UK Stellar Empire]] to signify their turn towards the stars.

*2133 - China strikes out the furthest, placing the first self-contained arcology on the icy surface of [[wikipedia:Europa_(moon)|Europa]]
*2131 - Pharmaceutical company [[wikipedia:Bayer|Bayer AG]] unveil the first [[nano-machines]], capable of not only delivering medicines directly to problem areas and patching up destroyed tissue, but facilitate a far less invasive [[man-machine interface]] than existed in the past. This causes an explosion of better performing Mechanized Workers and leads to more practical use of the machines as [[Mechanized Soldiers]] and [[Mechanized LEO]]s become a thing.
*2133 - China strikes out the further than any other country, placing the first self-contained arcology on the surface of [[wikipedia:Callisto_(moon)|Callisto]].
*2207 - The first [[Gravity Drive]] is invented by MIT
*2208 - A Gravity Drive is used on an unmanned probe sent towards Alpha Centauri
*2210 - The [[Einstein Field]] is first devised, meaning the dilation of time for traveling at high speeds is less of an issue.
*2212 - A radio signal from Alpha Centauri arrives back at earth, verifying that the test was successful. Three months later, MIT opens an Alpha Centauri campus, basically a space habitat module, mostly a PR campaign. A trip from earth to the "campus" takes a total of 8 days - four of which is through the interstellar medium between the two stars.
*2226 - [[Aaron Stobulous]] is born.
*2260 - Stobulous crash lands in [[Theta Boo]]
*2275 - HMS Lennos arrives at Theta Boo. News of the Wanderers spreads throughout the colonies - mankind has made contact with sentient life.
*2296 - Start of the [[Colonial Independence Wars]]
*2303 - End of the Colonial Independence Wars. The [[United Worlds Alliance]] is formed between earth and her former colonies.
*2304 - [[Project Starlight]] begins.
*2321 - Aaron Stobulous passes away on Theta Boo.
*2330 - Insurgents seize a military base on Sirius, starting a 3 year conflict that at points threatened the security of the Sol system.
*2314 - The [[UWS Starlight]] leaves dock for the first time and begins her mission.
*{{STARLIGHTYEAR}} - Current year.
