Code Red Pre-History (B.C. - Beyond Cataclysm)

 

Pre-6000 BC - Furres lived on the planet Drakor, calling it Kasuria. Supposedly, they could manipulate magic in the atmosphere in order to create alternate dimensions they called dreams. To access these 'dreams', one would step through an open dream portal. There were three continents before the Great Flood, according to legends: The Olde World to the east (from which only a small mountain top would survive after the flood), the violent Drakoria (where only magic was practiced, and metal turned to dust), and Kasuria (a continent in the middle of the planet, of which none of it breeched the flood.

 

6000 BC - Year of the Ice Age. Shortly afterwards in 5800 BC, the temperature breaks at the poles causing ozone layer tears that melt the ice caps and flood much of the lands. The only furres to survive during this Great Flood were the inhabitants of the violent continent Drakoria, who settled in the crevice of great mountains in their continent, where supposedly the Dark Primes themselves once lived. They disobeyed their very beliefs in the Dark Primes in order to protect their race, and they succeeded while others fell apart. However, furres in the land of the Olde World also survived in a cave on the eastern side of the world. The cave became a huge complex and possibly the first underground city in all of the planet's history, housing approximately 6,000 survivors which would grow to encompass over 12,000 after the next four-hundred years.

 

5600 BC - The furres in the east begin to emerge from the cave and settle nearby land formations created by volcanoes and one particular large island that was a series of tall hilly mountains covered in forest. Here is where their first civilization begins, where they continue their practice of magic. They split off into their respective groups as per their original civilization; most were non-traditionalists, but many were from different parts of the Olde World, and several were even from Kasuria. Those that moved to the eastern portion of the island would become monks that lived in complete separation from the others.

 

5000 BC - The Drakorians of the old age are the first to meet the 'hyoomans', who supposedly came from the skies. Some scholars think that humans could have possibly come from another world or another galaxy. The Drakorians attacked the humans in a blind fury and were wiped out by the human's advanced technology, but against the Drakorian's magic, they lost their advanced tech and had to begin relying on what knowledge they held of primitive technologies to build a working society. One legend that corresponds with this time period is the legend of Peredur Clypse, a Drakorian man who had caused particular trouble for the humans. Shortly after the Drakorians had been defeated and human technology had reverted to an earlier era, several heroes departed with swords and other weapons smelted from what was left of their ships, as many humans had begun to do after other technology - such as guns and the like - had been decimated by the final Drakorian attack.

 

The legend went that Peredur Clypse had been the last surviving Drakorian, and had escaped shortly before his people lost the war with the hyoomans. The heroes went in search of him, one because Peredur had personally killed his parents, and two others for varying reasons. They would end up meeting with one other human hero of Acropolis (a native, part of a tribe much like the Mongols) in the course of their journey pursuing Peredur across Karaga, and they had to protect the villages of that part of Karaga from Peredur. With his failure in taking control of the people there with his dark magic, which was quickly fading due to magic itself fading swiftly on Karaga, Peredur fled across the ocean to where he sensed magic was still going strong: the island of the furre survivors. The heroes pursued him still, facing many dangers along the way, until they were delayed in reaching the island for months as storms swept across the region.

 

When they finally arrived on the island, they were found by a furre man who requested their help. Dark creatures created by Peredur were endangering the lives of many on the island. The man joined the party of heroes and they found Peredur, who had taken control of the 'open minded' mages of the northeast (meditators and the like whom had cleared their minds of all troubles). They were used to build a temple for Peredur to begin an attempt at summoning a Dark Prime. Peredur believed himself capable of destroying the Dark Primes by first infiltrating them, so that he could gain infinite power himself. As he was just about to put in the last ingredient, he was stopped by the heroes, whom had fought through hundreds of monsters and the dark mages to reach him. Peredur was killed instantly by an arrow that hit him in the chest. His creations all died with him. The heroes then ordered the people on the island to destroy the temple and everything in it, and so after that was done, the magis on the island decided to send the hyoomans home to Karaga and never mention the events that happened again. Still, it managed to make it into legend by a few that witnessed them, including one hero whom had supposedly kept a log written of his team's exploits.

 

5000 BC - The first human culture was established in Karaga, known as the Vinca culture. They named the area they were located in the center of Karaga, 'Vinca', and thus named their society off of their land's name. The Vinca culture was the first human stone age culture that did use an ingenious system of economy and trade. They were also the first humans to use a written language on Drakor, using a form of pictographs on the bottom of jars and on clay tables that could be hooked to a door. This was how they denoted the contents of various jars, how much it was worth, and various other information including postal information, the first evidence of a postal system in the old age. Unlike many other cultures recorded in the stone age, the Vincans smelted metal and formed blades and tools. They would quickly develop as a society over the next few hundred years, and will grow technologically over the next few centuries.

 

4200 BC - A species of squirrel furres suddenly appear from the sky above the island in which the furre survivors are living on, and astrologists are dumbfounded at finding an answer. The squirrels live with the other furre species but are the first to introduce the seeds of technology, including but not limited to, the first musket, better blades, and new production techniques that increased the production of various metals and other materials. The first telescopes and microscopes were also invented, and soon they came to invent the first real advances in sea craft, the Frigate and the Corvette. They are said in some myths to be the survivors of the long-extinct Kasurian race. The squirrels had not been a major part of the Kasurian race until they mysteriously disappeared before the flood, but they returned at about this time in 'giant metal eggs', which modern-day historians and scientists believe may have been proof of starship technology having been invented much earlier by the furres, although others hypothesise that the squirrels traveled through space by way of magic and only built space-born vessels or habitats some time afterwards.

 

4150 BC - A war begins between those that didn't want to use technology (superstitiously calling technology a curse; the Olde World) and those who did (the ones who wished to live in harmony with magic, but weren't allowed to; the Mech). A few squirrels also branched off from their technological counterparts. Those that wanted to practice the use of technology lost against the powerful forces of magic and were banished from the island, using their ships to search for other landmasses to settle. Three fleets went in three directions, but only two would end up landing at the only land mass left, Karaga. The third is hypothesised to have become stranded on a small island that was east of Karaga, which had apparently disappeared since (many historians dispute these theories, although in reality, when the Gyro Corporation had begun to use the island, they cloaked it with their advanced technology) (Images are from the World of Warcraft website and Ronso's DeviantART gallery, respectively)

 

3900 BC - Vincan houses had become much more complex, as new materials were mined and used. Instead of clay and brick, these buildings were made mostly of wood and more abundant materials. Insulation and the like came into use, making homes much more comfortable. This could also be considered the date of the First Industrial Revolution for the Vincans, as factories sprouted up everywhere and from them many materials and products were mass produced. Machines became almost completely automated by this time, thanks to the Vincan's harnessing of water and air power. Steam was used, but only for factories placed inland away from rivers and wind turbines.

 

3800 BC - Sects from the Vincans begin to split off when their differences were realized, mostly in appearance and beliefs. One sect would quickly become the Acropolians, which would start off with much of the north and eastern parts of Imaginaria and Furrabia, which had much different climates than the modern era. The Acropolians were physically similar in structure to the Asians. They also formed their own culture and language. The Acropolians wanted a country much more akin to their ancestor's beliefs and ways of life, which were much different from other Vincans. (the reality of this case that nobody knows is that they are offshoots of true Asian lineage, which made their ancestors more prone to follow Asian customs instead of European ones)

 

3740 BC - Records from the Viatist's Book of Enlightment states that this was when the first meeting with their god had taken place, somewhere not on Karaga. They had somehow merged with the crews of the ships being used by the technology-upholding furres before they landed, and from there split off into Karaga by at least 2915 BC and begun their rituals and worship in New Haven, where the first records of their worship date back to 2900 BC.

 

3600 BC - The first records of the Dahkurese are recorded, and with their formation came the first major banks. They were the only sect of Vincans that spoke with a different accent than others. Their language was a mixture of their ancestors' and some Vincan. The Dahkurese were also the first to build a government without seperate tribe leaders, also known as the first and only Oligarchy (a government based on a tightly knit group of people having absolute authority). The Acropolians at the time were still running off of tribal leaders and separate existing nationstates with tribal leaders, much like Vinca. However, the Acropolians considered each leader to be a Dynasty encompassing the entire land they claimed, each existing at the same time as the other. The Dahkurese, on the other hand, was made up of a single political entity and numerous competing city-states.

 

3500 BC - The first classes of societies begin to form around this time, with sections of rich, middle, and lower classes becoming more prominent. The reason for this, according to historians, is that the Vincans had been focusing on survival. After getting more settled into their environment, people reverted to their original styles of thought. The Vincan written language also changes from what would seem a modern-day looking English to an even more latinized form.

 

3400 BC - It is unknown if this is the correct date or not, but it is assumed that this was the time that the furres that had survived the Flood on the other side of the planet had finally reached Karaga. One ship in the expedition to Karaga would not arrive until at least 2900 BC, though the exact date has been lost with the tides of history and legend. The colonists of the other two fleets landed in Furrabia, where they met with the Acropolian humans first. Contact started off with suspicion, then curiosity, and finally one-third of the furres joined the Acropolian society and adopted their culture and customs, to the chagrin of the others.

 

The rest of the furres had become angry, perhaps even jealous of the human Acropolians for being native to the land when they had never discovered humans on any land masses before (humans did not come to Drakor until around 5500 BC) This group of furres became known as the Furrabians, and they began a war with the humans, particularly the Acropolians due to the belief that humans should not exist. The Furrabians also believed strongly that hyoomans were invaders or had malicious intent; some even believed the hyoomans caused the flood as a prelude to their takeover. Other Furrabians believed that the hyoomans would stain the land with their imperfection. As furres, they were the natives of this world, and hyoomans were unwelcome immigrants to their planet. They formulated the saying that would be the motto of their civilization for centuries to come, 'Our Blood, Our Purity!'

 

3200 BC - The Acropolians fought bravely and they even changed from their artistic, creative culture into a culture resembling Sparta (much more militaristic) in order to handle the battle with the Furrabians, but they were still pushed back into modern-day Imaginaria. There, several other humans left the group of Acropolians to start their own culture in the previously undiscovered west Imaginaria. They did this because they wanted to remain a society based on artistic and creative principles instead of militaristic ones. They risked fighting the Furrabians on their own in order to defend the old Acropolian culture whilst the Acropolians themselves continued to retreat to the west where they found and took control of modern-day Acropolis from the natives there. The natives of Acropolis were very similar to the Mongols, so when the Acropolians merged them into their culture, they decided to keep to their militaristic nature, hoping that one day, they might destroy the Furrabians once and for all.

 

During the Acropolian retreat, numerous Furrabians were killed, including Emirate Nasir, who had led his armies into the battle. This would lead to chaos in Furrabia, as several different families began to claim the throne. One of the first to claim the throne was the Azrael family, whom were all distantly related to the Emirate's family. But the Ashad family claimed the throne as well, believing they were the Emirate's next choice. During this civil war, Furrabian soldiers began to lose their morale. While they had conquered a sizeable portion of territory, they were unable to continue expanding into more Imaginarian held territory. The Azrael family won in the end, with the help of the citizens. Under their command, however, the Furrabians managed to take control of over half of modern-day Imaginaria. But during their conquest, they were ambushed by forces loyal to Ashad. Many soldiers even turned on one another, joining forces with Ashad and his army. Even though Ashad had the chance to kill Azrael, he chose not to in order to appease the people, who were still convinced that Azrael could continue being a good leader. Much of Furrabia supported Azrael, and built a city for his family to settle in while Ashad and his family began their rule, which would only be temporarily punctuated every few hundred years by the rulership of other families: Khalil, who worked alongside the Ashad family during their reign; Abdhil; Abbas; Mahmoud; Burhan; Qaderi; and the Fakhour.

 

3100 BC - When the Vincans start to spread their civilization out to parts of Meriopolis and up towards Imaginaria, they discover the Imaginarian's plight against the Furrabians. They aid the Imaginarians in war against the Furrabians and push the Furrabians back to the northeastern part of the continent, where the Furrabians begin a centuries-old grudge against humans and the Vincans in particular. The Vincans move back to their original land and leave the land of modern-day Imaginaria to the Imaginarians. From this time onwards, the Vincan culture became an official entity officially called the 'Vincan Solidarity'. They would also gain worldwide recognition across Karaga, and most nations began to respect the Vincans. The early seeds of what would become trade unions and pacts between nations and the Vincan Solidarity were planted at this time.

 

3000 BC - The Imaginarians began to call their country 'Imaginaria' due to their usage of stories and creative works as a form of currency beyond even precious materials like gold and silver. The Imaginarians continue to exist in multiple tribes, but they trade and work together in economy and military, and are some of the most talented storytellers in all of Karaga. Literature started to become even more common at this time, as the Imaginarians were the ones to bring the first libraries and fictional stories to the world. Ironically, discoveries made in Imaginaria include major silver and diamond deposits. Acropolis mined areas in western Imaginaria with the Imaginarian's permission, though Furrabia would end up raiding villages in eastern Furrabia in order to illegally mine the materials.

 

3000 BC - A revolution in Acropolis by those that would soon become the Havenese people caused the Acropolians to re-evaluate their system of government. The Havenese were pacified when the government decided to reform itself into a Maoist communism, getting rid of classes which had been established in all cultures previously and beginning a society tied together by art and music. In fact, Acropolians became the first to make musical instruments and the first to devise a form of writing specifically for music. Despite this, the Acropolians never reverted to their full artistic nature. Placated Havanese people left and began exploring modern-day New Haven.

 

3000 BC - The Scientific Revolution. Bronze and iron become major in all cultures. Vincan priests begin a new sect of alchemists called clerics that study the first forms of chemistry, particularly in the field of medicine. Magic has died out completely as people are unable to wield the magical properties of the atmosphere. Mathematics is first devised by Vincan priests as well. Religion becomes more varied, but the Vincans continue to respect multiple cultures and religions. The first scouts are sent out by the New Havenese, who quickly befriend other governments.

 

2900 BC - The Viatists, those that believed in the dark prime Greydark, who would send his 'son' to them as a messenger and a leader that would later help them to rise up and cleanse the world of all evil. It is said that if they did so, they too would become diety-like figures and the messenger would stand at his father Greydark's side... But in reality, only the most loyal priests know of 'dark texts' that predate their religion that states the messenger would rise up and kill Greydark.

 

2800 BC - The Furrabians begin their first political system, a meritocracy where one could demonstrate talent in various fields and would be elected into positions based on that talent. Politicians were derived from those that could hold out in a debate of ethics and economy for more than three hours, making the Furrabians known as the 'stubborn' government, absolutely sure their way of life is the only right way.

 

2600 BC - The first records of Furrabian slave trade. Humans were never involved until later eras when some humans - curious of what it was like to be a slave - had given themselves in to the slave trade. Very few humans were taken by force, and the Furrabians continued to live a very isolated life from the others.

 

2600 BC - Acropolians started a tradition of honor and strength through warriors and hunters. They began to put an emphasis on military strength and would abandon infants if their priests predicted that they would not be strong. Sometimes, these abandoned infants would be adopted by a mysterious group called the Mangiatori Dell'Ombra (picture shown on right), translated from their language as the 'Shadow Blades'. Nothing is known about the Shadow Blades except theories that they may have been the first group of assassins ever.

 

In Acropolian society, the parents would go so far as to beat their children at a young age, starting at age seven, and train them in physical combat at a young age. But this was not to say that the parents did not care for their children, for they would also teach them the first recorded types of dance and would give their children emotional and spiritual training. At age twelve, they would go out into the wilderness and survive on their skills and cunning for two days.

 

At age twenty, they would begin their membership in the syssitia, composed of about fifteen members each, where they would learn how to bond and rely on one another. At age thirty, they would have full political and governmental rights and responsibilities, and only natives to Acropolis were able to get political rights, though Acropolis allowed New Havenese to live among them and rarely did they treat the New Havenese badly, allowing them at least civil rights of citizenship.

 

The women in Acropolian society had a status, power and respect that many others in the old eras did not have. They controlled their own properties and recieved as much education as men as well as a lot of physical and gymnastic training. They rarely married before the age of 20, and they went where they pleased, regardless or not of their husbands being there.

 

2500 BC - The Acropolian Ninja Guild was formed, becoming the first spies to be used in all of Drakor. They would accomplish notoriety as being able to blend with the shadows, doing stealth missions only at night. Undercover spies would not come until the Vincans created their own spy guilds.

 

2400 BC - An accident involving a Vincan citizen stepping into Acropolian-controlled territory and being killed by an Acropolian soldier brought up the need to set out territories. The Vincans were the first to suggest the use of large rocks as markers, writing in the languages of the various governments on the rocks in order to act as signs. On the side facing Vincan territory, Vincan script would be written at the top, with the language of the other culture written underneath, and vice versa on the other side.

 

This system would help set out the first marked territories and introduced the first time multiple cultures would work together. Also, at around this period a Vincan mapmaker - the first mapmaker ever - begins his journey around Karaga in an attempt to mark out territories along the land so that accidents like that wouldn't happen again. It was agreed by all countries at that time that, despite the state of war they might be in, that the mapmaker would not be harmed in any way during his journey. In return, the Vincans would share their completed maps with the other cultures.

 

2343 BC - The supposed date of the first secret police system of the Dahkurese, used as a way to enforce the law through fear. Several times a day, criminals would mysteriously disappear, and it is unknown if at this time the secret police would kill their targets or simply arrest them. Also, the Dahkurese create a spy guild of their own based off of this secret police.

 

2321 BC - The last priest in Vinca society dies, and the new scientist guild becomes the main source of information. At around this time, the beginning of a social revolution in Vinca takes place, as literature, art, and architecture become a major focus. This social revolution also begins to spread to other cultures.

 

2297 BC - Dahkur culture begins to create it's own architecture, it's buildings beginning to resemble modern tropical Spanish-style buildings. Their art is also distinctly spanish in style. Their castles however are a mixture of Russian and Spanish in architecture, as they have the domes of Russian castles, but the general structure and look of a layered tropical Spanish castle.

 

2262 BC - Acropolis culture begins to change in the midst of the social revolution, it's architecture now starting to resemble Chinese buildings in particular. Also, in 2254 BC, the New Havenese who have been close allies with the Acropolians since the dawn of time begin their architectural revolution so that their buildings look very Japanese in appearance.

 

2236 BC - The first records of the Vincans using spies to infiltrate Furrabian society in order to learn of plans the Furrabians might be making to endanger the Imaginarians. Suspicions rise that the Furrabians may try to get the Dahkurese as an ally in order to conquer Imaginaria and Vinca.

 

Also, at this time, the first map had been created and distributed to all the governments. The first surveyers began to dig lines in the soil all across Karaga in order to denote the borders of the various peoples, and in order to make sure that the dug lines were not changed by anyone, they also buried sticks underneath the lines they dug so that in the case that a country states they own more territory than the line presents to them, the Vincan negotiators could dig under the line and see if the sticks buried were there or not. Nobody except the Vincan surveyors knew of the existence of these place markers underneath the dug lines.

 

2200 BC - The Vincans fears were found to be real when spies reported back that the Furrabians were planning to gain the Dahkur government's trust. Therefore, they ordered the spies to assassinate the key targets in the conspiracy in order to prevent war. These were the first known assassinations, and the first mention of assassins, who would branch off from the Vincan government in later eras and form various assassin guilds all unified under an Assassin's Creed.

 

2085 BC - The Vincans become the first government based around Feudalism. Honor was based off of trustworthiness, and there were three classes: Lords, vassals, and fiefs. Their first defined leader was King Emer Cantel. All tribes and towns of the Vincans become connected through this leader, and a Council was established with it's own military of knights in order to protect the civil rights of the people and keep the king in line.

 

Still, the king was the highest order of authority and did various duties such as knighting and the like. The first few furres came from Acropolis to the newly christened United Kingdom of Vinca and most of those immigrants quickly became warriors amongst the strongest human knights.

 

2071 BC - The Dahkurese discovered the first Vincan spy in their capital and supposedly had killed the agent. This started a thirteen-year war that was only escalated by the Furrabian's involvement in 2058 BC and later the Acropolians in 2054 BC, who had been forced into the war when Furrabians began to claim territory in Imaginaria near the established borders of Acropolis.

 

2041 BC - The war ends with the Furrabians losing much of their territory. The Dahkurese are returned their territory by the Vincans after they win the war, only with the help of the Acropolians. The Dahkurese became known as the Imperial Dahkur Regime (flag shown) and became an absolute monarchy, with a king as leader. King Emer dies of old age and the United Kingdom of Vinca is ruled by the Council for another two centuries.

 

2038 BC - The Dahkurese had taken a major economic hit during the war, and several fights erupted in numerous cities. While the Dahkurese government tried to restore order, native tribes from the south started a revolt. They wanted a different economic and political change than the one the Imperial King was offering, and they believed they would need to form their own country to do this themselves. This began a long civil war, that would only be ended by 2012 BC, with the Dahkurese as the overall victors. The fighters, however, could not be beaten once they covered the desert in modern day Theriopolis, where they even prepared the pyramid as a fort. However, their forces were strong enough - with the aid of barracades set around the modern-day border - to prevent the Dahkurese from getting anywhere near the pyramid. By 2007 BC, a peace agreement was reached, although Dahkur does not recognize the Theriopolian government... Only its territory is given any recognition.

 

1999 BC - As the Theriopolian government was still in turmoil, some tried to avoid the troubles of government by exploring further south of established territory. They found land by the sea, and an abundance of natural resources. With minimal effort, many of these natural resources - such as stronger lumber built to grow in even the worst conditions brought upon by man - were even renewable. Water resources were the strongest, and future Goldwyn would start using waterways for almost everything: transport, energy, chemical research, early food processing, agriculture, and more. Theriopolis would not accept Goldwyn's departure so easily, but they were unable to do anything about the secession, as they were still repairing their own government. During the next few centuries, Goldwyn and Theriopolis would have conflicts that make the area generally unsafe for travelers. Still, trades continued with various countries: Goldwyn would begin trading with Dahkur via the sea-side, while Theriopolis began trading with Vinca nearby.

 

1921 BC - The New Havenese territory actually becomes known as 'New Haven' when Imaginarians escaping the attacks and tyranny from the Furrabians begin to settle in the country, but most returned to Imaginaria in order to fight alongside their families and friends. The United Kingdom of Vinca did not allow the immigrants as it would be inviting war with the Furrabians and could endanger their people.

 

1408 BC - Free information exchange begins. The United Kingdom of Vinca begins to share it's knowledge with the other countries, including Furrabia, which becomes known as the Order of Furrabian Nights, or the FurN Order. This exchange makes the Furrabians believe the Vincans as weak, but other cultures, like the Acropolians believe the Vincans as strong due to their willingness to share information. At about this time, astrology starts on a large scale across Karaga, started by scientist Jaurix Nuan with the invention of the magnifying scope.

 

820 BC - The neighboring planet to Drakor, which was called Lutia, was discovered by Vincan astrologists in New Haven. They would never know that a secret sect of furres had colonized that planet thousands of years before.

 

400 BC - The first Renaissance takes place and Iron becomes the main metal used in Vinca. Salt becomes a special commodity, used as preservatives for food. The first 18th century -like frigates are created now, instead of the galleys and fishing boats that had been used in the past. Chainmail armor and iron helmets became a major part of armies. Pikes and horses were used in war rather than just in farming and hunting. Arrows become stronger, larger, and more sharp. Blacksmiths became prominent. The crossbow was invented.

 

390 BC - The Acropolians also undergo the Iron Revolution, in which they begin forging special swords called 'katanas', and a sect believing that the swords were brought to them through some spiritual guidance became known as the clan of the Samurai. Also, around this time, the first records of legendary samurai and shadows come to be made. These mythological stories are about a group of shadows attacking multiple villages and cities, and the samurai defending the villages, then going so far as destroying the shadows for good.

 

350 BC - The Dahkurese begin trading with the United Kingdom of Vinca and through that they come to obtain very similar weaponry and equipment that the Vincans had. But the Dahkurese built stronger armor and began to initiate research into the first land-based cannons and even the first mortars, which would come about in 200 BC, when they succeed.

 

300 BC - Deposits of diamond, gold, silver, and multiple other precious minerals and rocks have been discovered in Imaginaria. Dahkurese scientists claim to have found the first oil wells deep underground during their mining expeditions to search for silver. At about this time, Dahkurese armies are patrolling the border between Imaginaria and Furrabia, protecting the country from any possible Furrabian invasion.

 

287 BC - The first records of the International Wars begin, a series of ten-year wars that would not end until 207 BC. It is assumed that it began in 287 BC as there were 8 ten-year wars recorded and that it happened a significant time after the Vincan Renaissance. The cause of the war is Furrabian rights to Imaginaria, where many precious minerals were found. The first strike is made by the Furrabians at the Dahkurese who were holding the border. It was their first victory, and the Imperial Regime's first loss during the war.

 

263 BC - During the third war, the Furrabians had already pushed back Vincan and Dahkur forces to their native lands. The Acropolians, who have had no intrest in mining minerals in Imaginaria are coerced to enter the war against the Furrabians when a Vincan spy finds ample information that suggests the Furrabians plan to decimate the Acropolis countryside.

 

258 BC - Due to civil unrest about the war, Dahkurese and Vincan citizens alike begin to attack one another out of fear in futile attempts to leave the country. Vincan and Imperial Regime soldiers hold back the waves of citizens and it is about this time that the Council suggests a Ministry of the Interior in order to handle law enforcement. The Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Treasuries are brought up this time in order to handle the military and the government's spending.

 

207 BC - The war ends after a gruelling and bloody war across Imaginaria. The Furrabians are beaten back to their country, but the Dahkur government is nearly in a state of collapse. It is brought back into order when the people are given the right to vote on their dictators who, if they had lied at any point in their campaign, would be assassinated shortly before becoming a leader.

 

198 BC - The Furrabians still want to claim land in Imaginaria. During a diplomatic meeting between Vincan and Imaginarian officials, it is decided to pull back all Vincan presense in Imaginaria and suggest the same to the Dahkurese. The Imperial Regime refuses to pull back their troops and instead establish a continuous military presense in the area for the next century. Many of the Dahkurese soldiers up there get to return home every few years for a while before being sent back, in patterns so that there would never be a lack of Dahkurese soldiers in the country.

 

110 BC - The Imperial Temple is built in Dahkur as a testament to it's leader who had led them through the International Wars.

2019 - A dispute that had been ongoing for centuries finally takes a turning point. The Azrael family - whom had claimed rights to the throne - finally succeeded in overthrowing the previous Ashad and Khalil families. Numerous times had control of Furrabia fallen to various independent families, all of whom claimed rights to the throne. However, the Azrael and Ashad families were long known to be bitter mortal enemies. Azrael Baqir successfully ascended to the throne as more than half the military overran Rammunah. With the city under his control, Baqir called total rule and urged Furrabians to "be rid" of the "hyooman threat", claiming that the Furrabian way of life was in danger as "hyooman" values took root under the Ashad family's leadership.

 

2021 - Tensions grow to a breaking point between Furrabia and Dahkur as the latter country demands part of the spoils that Furrabia was getting from Imaginaria. At the time, the Emirate was a member of the ruling Azrael family, whose family had only recently taken control. However, Azrael Baqir was not willing to share the spoils of numerous raids Furrabians were making into Imaginarian territory. This angered the Imperial Regime, who set off on a war with Furrabia. While this war was ongoing, Acropolis slowly began to creep inwards to liberate cities and towns in the east from Furrabian occupation. This once again angered Furrabia and Dahkur both, and oftentimes on the battlefield it would be a common sight to see Furrabians and Dahkurese troops change targets at the Acropolians.

 

During the war, the Vinca Union tried to bring a close to the war through the League of Nations, but Vinca too was brought into the war inadvertantly when it was learned that Furrabians were capturing and mistreating humans in Imaginaria. While Vinca joined town militias to defend people on the east, they were seen as allying with the Acropolians, who also fought alongside them to stop the oncoming threat. Like a domino effect, Dahkur then waged war with Vinca, attacking eastern Meriopolis in an attempt to take Xonras, a key sea trading port in the Union. This blatant act of aggression next to their borders also brought the Theriopolians and the Goldwynians into war with the Dahkurese /and/ the Vincans, as pent-up rage was released in a bloody massacre. Millions of soldiers from all the countries involved were killed, as were millions of civilians (mostly Imaginarians, but Meriopolians and Vincans suffered civilian casualties as well).

 

2027 - The war was finally ended when the Vinca Union stormed Furrabia with Acropolian troops. Civilians in Furrabia took to the streets, many fighting an unsuccessful battle with the Vincans. Finally, the Azrael family fled and went into exile somewhere in the north, although exactly where they went remains a mystery. A small portion of their family remained and accepted the terms of their surrender. This made the citizens angry, and the Azrael family would never be looked upon the same way again. The Union established Furrabia as a client state, while they allowed the Furrabians to conduct their own government under the watchful eye of the Union government presence there. The Ashad family line was reinstated by the citizenship, hoping the same mistakes the Azrael family line made would never be repeated... Though many would come to despise the Union's control of their country.

2037 - Jerome Star was born

 

2037 - Franie was born

 

2046 - The Nod is formed by angered scientists that want cybernetic technology to be fully legal beyond simple medical means in the Vinca Union. Before, the Union had a law that prevented cybernetic technology from being used for anything more than replacement of missing limbs or organs, without any enhancement or additional use besides that. Their first attack is on the capital building, though they don't manage to destroy it. Mercenaries, assassins, and people from all over begin to join the Nod, all wanting more freedom than they were allowed.

 

2047 - The Gyro Clypse of the original timeline travels to this point in time, creating a parallel timeline by meeting with Nod's leader, Eridanni Musolini, and defecting to him. He told Eridanni everything about his time travel experience. Gyro and Eridanni came up with a plan that would allow Gyro to become a member of the Nod up to the point where the Nod would raid the Gyro Corporation's stations... After that, Gyro would aid them in maintaining their hold on the stations.

 

2047 - Jerome Star's parents are killed by young Nod agent Inyo as his first assassination mission. Jerome escapes and discovers a man going by the nickname Apocalypse, who trains young Jerome in the ways of an assassin. See the point of departure from the original timeline below. Aside from the 'point of departure' below, events in the timeline continued the exact same way up until 2064.

 

2047 - PoD for OS and LA: Jerome Star's parents are killed. Star runs away from the attackers who are Nod agents Inyo (19 years old at the time) and Gyro Clypse (from the future of the original timeline). Star runs into a man named Apocalypse, who will train young Jerome in the ways of an assassin. Gyro had requested this first assignment as a Nod officer. Shortly after informing Eridanni of his success, he sneaked into the Gyro Corporation's island complex and used the time machine to travel forward through time.

 

2049 - Quinn Embre takes command of the FBI with the new title Attorney General (previously, all FBI generals were referred to as 'police chief'). He is the first Attorney General

 

2049 - Deadly Scent (Darel Saret) and Georgia Kione joined the FBI

 

2052 - Conquer Army rises up as a collection of militias in Imaginaria. They fight back the Furrabian presence in the villages of the militias that joined and continue to grow quickly, even gaining funds from thievery and buying stronger weapons and greater technology. (conceptual; based on the most likely events that could lead up to the Conquer Army's formation in the Code Red universe)

 

2054 - Darel Saret went to take command of CIA, leaving the FBI

 

2055 - Guru Rejardo takes command of the Furcadian Intelligence (FI) agency

 

2055 - Jerome Star, a brash young assassin at 18, breaks up a meeting between high officials and kills almost everyone there. He doesn't realize it at the time, except for one familiar face: that of Licin Yukeh. The meeting was entirely composed of senior Nod agents and officers. He earns a large spot on the Nod's blacklist. Star would earn the most amount of money he ever earned at around this time, and he uses it to enter college with his friend and fellow assassin, Hector Plufard. In college, Jerome Star also meets Isharu Trema, though he later forgets the man since they were never really good friends or rivals.

 

2055 - Perry Hichi takes command of the Furcadian Spy Agency (FSA)

 

2056 - Sorosa Kolinhem takes command of the FSA after Perry Hichi decides to make a career in science and technology

 

2056 - At age 19, Jerome Star becomes the second youngest FBI officer ever (aside from Oka Nieba, who was 18). He becomes a major member of the SWAT team, showing himself to be of sound judgement when he followed a friend in the team who was disobeying orders. When his teammate shot a hostage in order to reach the terrorist behind her, Star consoled the hostage and chastised his friend verbally for his actions. Star was allowed to stay in SWAT, and his quick actions in further missions (even when disobeying orders) never harmed innocents. Star was noticed for his quick acting and improvisation, so the year after, he would be accepted in Furcadian Intelligence.

 

2056 - The Gyro Corporation builds the first space station, followed by two more in 2057 and 2058. They run under the guise of a scientific organization.

 

2056 - FBI headquarters is attacked for the last time in a devastating mercenary raid. The mercenaries escape having killed several FBI officers, but having stolen no money or technology.

 

2057 - Jerome Star joins the Furcadian Intelligence. Here, he begins a career as a secret agent, working to spy on and gather information on possible terrorists and to maintain the flow of information to the other two spy agencies: the CIA, and the FSA.

 

2058 - Sorosa Kolinhem was killed in the line of duty while battling Nod agent Inyo (at the time it was not realized that he was Nod). The command of FSA would later go to Jerome Star, a well known FI agent

 

2058 - Jerome Star takes command of the FSA (Furcadian Spy Agency)

 

2059 - Jerome Star graduates 4 years of college and majors in Law, minoring in History and Language

 

2060 - After Guru Rejardo retires, Queen Julie Bond takes command of the FI

 

2060 - Oka Nieba joins the FBI

 

2061 - Hypersprays are invented for medical science, as was the laser scapel and PDA scanners

 

2061 - The Nod are discovered by Julie Bond, who manages to accidently intercept a radio transmission being sent in code to an unidentified source while driving down the road in New Haven. She investigates and discovers an underground base located in the jungles far from Wentei village

 

2061 - Oka Nieba is given command of SWAT after a good word put in by Star on his performance with the FSA in a number of anti-terrorist missions.

 

2062 - During a mission with fellow FI agents Harley Mitkatsu and Hadan Triyuskas, Hector Plufard tried to find the man who stole the Ark, Nod leader #17 Luxious Fleance. They managed to find Fleance and kill him, retrieving the copy made earlier by another Nod agent, who was mysteriously killed by assassins shortly after giving the disc to Fleance. Hector destroyed the copy, but the original had already been stolen (the Nod had used Fleance as a diversion). The original copy was taken by a corrupt CIA agent who sold it to the Circle, but was killed by Circle assassins. Then a Circle member defected to the Nod and handed it in to Adan Remin, though the Circle member was killed shortly afterwards.

 

2062 - Leon Gearstone, the general in command of the Conquer Army, is warned by agent Banjo Kolinhem, sent by Jerome Star, about a possible strike on Imaginaria by the Gyro Corporation. Due to this new threat, the Conquer Army would later in the year gather together the leaders of armies all over the country to deal with the threat, though Star told them little about the Gyro Corporation's intentions or their space stations. However, after a lot of disagreements, the meeting ended up badly and was disbanded as nobody would listen to the ideas of the other on how to handle the situation.

 

2062 - Hector Plufard left the FI and joined the FSA, becoming 00-Agent number 007.

 

2063 - Hugo Largo is revealed to be a drug dealer, and agent Jerome Star of the FSA goes undercover in Largo's crime ring. After a successful infiltration, he destroys Largo's heroin fields and assassinates Largo, but not before acquiring vital information about Largo's contacts, including several middle-men that admitted to selling Largo items from a man named Aston Reynold, who is later discovered to be working with Hernando Ramirez. On the case of Largo, it was discovered he was funding the Nod, which was reason enough for Star to assassinate the dealer.

 

2064 - Jerome Star along with Oka Nieba, Dev Siete, Banjo Kolinhem, and Rick Tanner, attack the first Gyro Corps station. They discover the time machines and the TimeLine X (a group of terrorists from the future), but are sworn to secrecy after the mission.

 

2064 - The FBI Satellite is targeted by the Nod, who try to capture the satellite. Defense platforms are set around the FBI Satellite by the Union to protect it from Nod attack. Also at this time, the Mark 14 Comm Watches become standard issue in the FBI and all the other agencies.

 

2064 - In the original timeline, the Nod raid on the space stations owned by Gyro Clypse went differently. The Gyro Corporation officers managed to escape via the chrono dialer (the time machine) into the past, and along with Gyro, ended up creating the events that take place in the Original Series and Lost Ages. In the meantime, the Nod settle into their newly captured space stations, but as Gyro managed to destroy much of the station before leaving, and the only operable equipment was unknown to the Nod, they wouldn't be able to keep control of the space stations for much longer.

 

2064 - PoD for OS and LA: The Nod raid the Gyro stations. Many of the Gyro Corporation officers on the stations escaped to the surface via the escape pods. The starfighters Nod used destroyed the Gyro Corps starfighters except for one squad led by the clone of Sour Lime. She agreed to switch her allegiance along with those under her command, and she has followed the Nod since. Oddly enough, a slightly older Gyro Clypse had had helped his younger self escape, though the Gyro Corporation officers that saw the whole thing remembered that an alternate version of their leader pushed aside his slightly younger self and switched allegiances, while the younger Gyro Clypse and the rest of the Gyro Corporation were escaping. However, this alternate Gyro had planned to appear at this point in history after he had time travelled from 2047. He would then teach the Nod how to use and operate the space stations until 2067, when he travels forward through time again to 2070. Also during this time, the Nod set up smaller stations between the three Gyro stations. These smaller stations are given higher numbered designations, from 4 to 15. Stations 4 to 6 were communication relay stations. Stations 7 to 10 were prison stations, where the Nod kept captured agents. Stations 11 through 15 were manned defense turrets.

 

2064 - Plasma gathering oil facilities are built on the moon and plasma is collected for use in plasma weapons by the Union.

 

2064 - Franie joins the FBI

 

2064 - In the original timeline, the Nod were unable to take control of the clones, as they only listened to Gyro Clypse, who had already traveled into the past by this time. Thus, Quinn Embre wasn't killed in an attack by Nod clones, although he was killed by a Nod terrorist attack on the building. Georgia Kione accepts command of the FBI afterwards.

 

2064 - PoD for OS and LA: FBI Headquarters is attacked by clones the Nod took over from the now-defunct Gyro Corporation. Quinn Embre is killed by his clone while trying to evacuate everyone. After the clones escape with the information they were attempting to gain, another FBI headquarters was built on Jaranga Island, and command of the FBI went to Georgia Kione.

 

2065 - Georgia Kione creates the FBI Academy in Valhala, the Vinca Union's capital city, to train potential police officers, detectives, scientists, doctors, and the like for the FBI.

 

2066 - By this time, the Nod's attempt at creating a power to be reckoned with on the space stations fails when FSA agent Jerome Star, along with Hector Plufard, quickly sabotauge the stations in a joint effort with Furcadian Intelligence. Nod agents flee to the surface, where they would be systematically found and arrested. By 2071, only three Nod officers will be left, and one (Ulrich Parques) defects to the Union, turning in Yuri Terrel. Jason Remin manages to escape, but is cornered on Allegria Island while trying to escape into a private facility operated by Largo Industries. Jason commits suicide via cyanide.

 

2066 - PoD for OS and LA: The Nod begin operating a separate 'Space Forces' commanded by Gyro Clypse. They operate the three stations previously owned by the Gyro Corporation, and also gain full control of the Ion Cannon.

 

2066 - Perry Hichi began inventing the first nanobots, but would not finish for at least another 2 years.

 

2066 - Women in Dahkur begin holding equal rights marches. The government quickly appeases them. The KGB also begins to accept female members into it's ranks.

 

2067 - Since the Nod were trying to escape prosecution, they were unable to create the AI Cabal, who never existed in the original timeline.

 

2067 - PoD for OS and LA: Cabal was created by Nod scientist Willy Washer, who was also a Gyro loyalist and an ex-member of the Gyro Corporation, though nobody in the Nod found out since Gyro Clypse was able to destroy the records of his work in the Gyro Corp.

 

2068 - Perry Hichi completes the first nanobots, which are used to power the FBI computer systems. The nanobots are impervious to EMP pulses because of their size and power source. Later the same year, he completes engineering nanobots that are used in the upgraded Midnight Class I Armor for Oka Nieba and SWAT. Also, the first medical nanobots are invented by Perry Hichi around this time.

 

2068 - Since the Nod lost control of the space stations two years earlier, they had also lost the ion cannon, which was promptly destroyed two years earlier along with the stations. Deadly Scent (Darel Saret) therefore never dies, and continues to command the CIA.

 

2068 - PoD for OS and LA: Deadly Scent (Darel Saret) is killed by an ion cannon attack set up by the Nod. The CIA headquarters remained intact, but all organic matter inside was vaporized. CIA agents all over the world discovered that the headquarters were not answering their calls, so they all returned to investigate. Soon after they arrived, Nod forces attacked and tried to take the headquarters. Isharu Trema was looked at for leadership oddly enough instead of the second-in-command (who would be killed shortly into the attack from being too rash) and they managed to fight back the Nod forces, forcing them into a retreat.

 

2069 - Underground Sensor Network completes construction

 

2069 - In the original timeline, Nathyrra Crimson managed to put Georgia Kione in the hospital the same way she does in the alternate timeline (see below). But since the Nod were in hiding and in no shape to be conducting special operations against the Union, a Nod agent never kills Georgia Kione, who goes on to continue as Attorney General of FBI.

 

2069 - PoD for OS and LA: A small explosive trap designed to look like a normal PDA was given to Georgia Kione by previously freed prisoner Nathyrra Crimson. The device exploded before Georgia could do anything, although the FBI's advanced computer system detected the trap and formed an anti-grav field around the explosion just as it went off, lowering the impact on the Attorney General. However, Georgia dies by fatal injection from a Nod agent disguised as an FBI doctor while getting treatment for his injuries.

 

2069 - Jerome never marries Franie, as he was constantly busy capturing Nod agents in the FSA. Franie was still in the FBI at the time, and only got glimpses of Star as he met with the Attorney General several times on official business.

 

2069 - PoD for OS and LA: Jerome Star marries Franie. The marriage ends in 2071 when Star discovers she had been mistreating some of his friends and even a child he had adopted for a short time. Still, Star loses his memory of this event when the Circle erase his memory later on.

 

2069 - PoD for OS and LA: Jerome Star is captured by the Nod while on a honeymoon with Franie. He was held and tortured in an underground base for 9 months. His voicebox was taken from him by Cabal at this time. After the Nod had gotten all the information they could with their advanced nanoprobes, they agreed to a prisoner trade with the Union, trading Star for Rick Tanner. They wanted Rick because he held a code in him, a microdot in his mind planted there by an agent that had shot Rick during one of his many escapades. The microdot held a message from the agent about the Ark.

 

2069 - PoD for OS and LA: A clone of Jerome Star takes command of the FBI, although nobody realizes it's a clone. The clone over time gathers information and sends it to the Nod. After nine months, the clone steps down and gives command over to Hunter Piazza.

 

2069 - PoD for OS and LA: After Jerome returns to the FSA from his capture, Isharu Trema takes command of the FSA for a short period of time to allow Star's stress levels to go down. During this time, Star is sent on three dangerous but vital missions requiring his experience: 1) the first mission Isharu sends Star on is to derail a train of Hernando Ramirez's carrying illegal shipments of weapons to someone in the Dahkur Demilitarized Zone. Star succeeds in derailing the train and killing the conductor, Hernando Ramirez's brother. 2) the second mission was for Star to investigate a sudden dissapearance of the beaches of New Haven, which were mysteriously disappearing behind a liquid-like field. He discovers that a failed Nod experiment caused a rupture between subspace and space that allows the digital world (of all computer circuits and such) to interact with the real world, effectively taking the place of the real world. An old Gyro Corp AI named Shadow, but titled Experiment 328 by the Nod, tries to kill Star, but Star manages to outwit and outfight Shadow in combat ontop a virtual reality space station hovering over the planet in a sword battle, while Perry downloaded a virus into Shadow. The station that was causing the rupture was destroyed and everything returned to the way it was supposed to be, except that everybody would not have remembered what happened. 3) the third mission was to investigate a supposedly abandoned oil rig. Star discovers a Nod presence there and destroys the oil platform with the help of Perry Hichi, but not before being attacked by a vengeful Shadow who takes control of an attack submarine. Star and Perry escape on a special boat gadget and report back to Isharu.

 

2069 - PoD for OS and LA: Star is sent on a mission to northern Imaginaria where a Nod base is located under the guise of scientist Tiberius Remington, who was captured by another agent on the inside (of the CIA), Topi Branght. Star destroys the station, kills his clone, and then kills the clone Licin Yukeh (along with another nice bodycount including a Nod agent named Tracy) and escapes with Topi, who leaves him later to continue her job at the CIA.

 

2070 - Molov Muchi consoles was invented and becomes the primary computer consoles used by agencies and businesses all over the world. Holographic TV becomes common

 

2070 - PoD for OS and LA: Wilkare Parmiscent becomes Deputy General, the first to hold the title, helping Hunter Piazza command the FBI. Just a few months later, Hunter Piazza would step down and Wilkare took the job. About this time his wife and children were killed and Wilkare's stress levels rose to an unhealthy amount.

 

2070 - PoD for OS and LA: The three Nod stations are refit better for war. They become known as 'battlestations'. Also, the Nod begin using neurolasers more. They become the standard weapon for all Nod guards, officers, and agents. Gyro Clypse appeared in this time period and was the reason the Nod began to use neurolasers and other technology the Gyro Corporation had invented.

 

2071 - All telephones gain a 'Phone Scanner Display' that emits via hologram a transparent number pad over the caller's outstretched hand, though this feature is optional. The Mark 17 Comm Watch becomes standard issue throughout the Vinca Union for all agencies. The FBI power systems become less dangerous and are instead powered by controlled anti-gravitons. Curi Gaming Console is invented. Harry Potter actually starts out as a video game for this console (rather than a book like on earth). Also, the Teleron 3 becomes the primary laptop used by Isharu Trema. The Protector-class shuttle is replaced with the Protector-II class.

 

2071 - Plasma mining stops as plasma becomes scarce and soon gone completely on the moon. The plasma mining facilities are deactivated and evacuated.

 

2071 - Oka Nieba takes command of the Tactical Air Force, an elite agency in the Air Force that deals with law enforcement with the FBI

 

Original Series (2071)

 

2071 - After two years, Isharu Trema and Hunter Piazza take the train set up by Hernando Ramirez to it's destination. It arrives at a desert base camp where they meet their timeline's version of Gyro Clypse and learn the truth behind the Gyro of the Nod. They agree to transfer supplies to Gyro to help with his cause in fighting the Nod and making up for his past actions (Original Series, episode 1)

 

2071 - Oka Nieba, while flying over the Dahkur Demilitarized Zone to deliver supplies to the Isolationists, is called down by a ground base, which is discovered not to be of a government design. This would be the first true contact with the Circle. (Original Series, episode 2)

 

2071 - The Circle kidnap the queen because the original terrorists meant to do so were killed out by a third Gyro Clypse's actions, one from a future even further away than the one in Nod now. Oka Nieba tries to rescue the queen, although the Circle don't make it too easy for him. However, with the rescue of Jerome Star, Nathyrra Crimson, and Dawn Malikurei, Oka Nieba manages to complete his mission and rescue Queen Julie Bond. (Original Series, episode 3)

 

2071 - Wilkare Parmiscent dies of a stress-related illness due to the loss of his family (also explaining his negative attitude towards others). Caren Ortensia becomes the first female Attorney General in his absense.

 

2071 - The Circle begins to assassinate four major officials that could start a potential war in the future. Sebane was in command of the Circle group that carried out the actions under his orders, including a strictly loyal man who did the assassinations for the betterment of the Union, Zero Jason. Zero was not from the future like the other members of the Circle, rather having been recruited on the spot (much like Simeon Viper will be in 2084). Sebane was punished for his actions by demotion, then reassignment to the year 2084 after spending two years in his present. (Original Series, episode 4)

 

2071 - Teris Alamance escapes from FBI prison with the help of a mind-controlled Rebecca Darsay. Rebecca is killed, and Star, looking for justice, goes up to the station by cloak and tries to capture Teris Alamance. He fails after alerting the whole station, and manages to escape with only one captive, Adan Remin, who later will escape from prison on his own accord and return to the station. (Original Series, episode 5)

 

2071 - Oka Nieba retires from the Tactical Air Force and takes command of the Secret Service, a new agency sponsored by Isharu Trema. (different from the Royal Protection Force, which is also commonly labeled as the Secret Service, whose job is to defend the Queen)

 

2071 - When the KGB discover that Hernando Ramirez, a major criminal they were after, was killed, they immediately launched into a hidden war that would last even through the Dark Chapters war between the Union and the Nod. The KGB began battling the Furrabian secret agency, the SAVAK, in an attempt to put the blame of the murder on them. In reality, Adan Remin (disguised as Jerome Star with a holoimager) killed Ramirez, though this did not trick the Union who were already prepared for the Nod's tricks.

 

2071 - PoD for OS and LA: Sesume Nikita meets Jerome Star the last time before the latter agent's death in a bar in Dahkur. Sesume had been forced into the KGB while he was in Dahkur and has been working for them for years. He believed the KGB to be a greater threat than the Nod to the Union, though for what reason wasn't specifically stated. In reality, only Sesume and another agent of the KGB had seen Jerome Star (actually Adan Remin in disguise) run out of the same room Ramirez was found dead in. These few agents did not try to stop the attack on SAVAK, but they would lead a manhunt for Jerome Star until the news of the agent's death reached them.

 

2071 - PoD for OS and LA: Franie gives birth to Jerome Star's child, Katherine. Franie kills herself shortly afterwards when Star broke up their relationship because Franie had been torturing another child Star tried to adopt. Katherine is put in an orphanage. In reality, Franie merely made herself seem dead through an elaborate trick designed by her superiors in the Nod to make Star think she was dead, in the hopes it would further push Star to the edge of a mental breakdown so they could control him. The next phase of this plan consisted of cloning Star's deceased daughter Sadinia and holding her hostage, while capturing and holding the Ark hostage as well. This would force Star to make a choice between his daughter and the one thing that could bring the government to ruins. His family, or his mission.

 

2071 - PoD for OS and LA: The Ark is stolen and Star discovers his adopted daughter Sadinia is kidnapped, both by the Nod. Jerome Star tries to save his daughter, but in the end is captured by Nod agents Jason Remin, Yuri Terrel, and Ulrich Parques. He finds out his daughter is dead. He tries to escape, but is injured and taken to a hospital on the station. There, Star dies of a broken heart. Gyro Clypse uses Star's corpse to take him back to the past in the original timeline, but he isn't able to change anything. The Nod will use the Ark's information over the next nine years in the Dark Chapters war to gain an advantage over the Union, then they would lose the Ark to an unknown individual who sells it to civilians throughout Karaga. (Original Series, episode 6, Lost Ages, Prologue)

 

2071 - Events of The Chronicle of Star take place. The Ark is stolen and Star's adopted daughter Sadinia is kidnapped by Nod agents that managed to escape arrest. The Ark is supposedly hidden in another location, possibly Allegria Island. Jerome was ordered to investigate where the Ark was being held, but instead he went to steal Ramirez's stolen money to pay for Sadinia's release. He gave the money to Nod agents Jason Remin, Yuri Terrel, and Ulrich Parques, who were holding Sadinia hostage along with the Ark. They show Sadinia dead, but Star isn't emotionally broken down like in the alternate timeline. He escapes and destroys the Ark and the base, leaving Yuri and Jason to be captured while Ulrich decides to defect (see 2066). Star kills Hernando Ramirez and breaks into the mountain base of Largo Industries on Allegria Island. From there, he uses a time machine to go back to the month Sadinia was killed, and he manages to rescue her, although as he travels back to his present with her, CIA agent Isharu Trema (also from his present) tries to stop him and ends up knocking their consciousnesses into their chroniton signatures.

 

Dark Chapters (2071 - 2084, actual war takes place 2071 - 2080)

 

2071 - On Christmas day, the Nod launch their attack on the Vinca Union under the command of Jason Remin. They quickly begin using resources previously unused to build tanks and more efficient weapons. Using stolen Union money and materials, they also begin to build hoverjets, hovercopters, transports, and starfighters. They also build two more Ion Cannons to be used alongside the original.

 

2072 - The Secret Service headquarters are destroyed by three ion cannon beams. Oka Nieba had evacuated personell earlier, then everyone still inside he brought with him to the underground Gallant ship, an experimental starship with which he used to escape.

 

2072 - CIA headquarters is raided in a Nod attack. All CIA agents retreat to Jaranga Island and the FBI headquarters, where they regroup.

 

2073 - FSA headquarters is destroyed and all agents are captured except for a few survivors that took refuge in different countries. All the captured FSA agents were executed publicily on the electric chair in slow painful agonizing deaths.

 

2074 - The Ark was decyphered by Nod agents and from the hidden information on the disc, they could fool Union sensors and intercept radio communications, even decoding the most little-known encoded messages the Union used to communicate. It was stolen shortly afterwards by an unknown individual. It somehow came into the hands of an old hobo who may have found it in a garbage can and thought of it as a decoration.

 

2075 - Mark 19 Comm Watch replaces the Mark 17

 

2079 - Katherine Star was abducted from her home in 2084 and brought back to this time by a time traveling Gyro Clypse from the far future.

 

2080 - The Dark Chapters war between the Nod and the Vinca Union end after a bloody 9 years.

Many welcomed the change, many more didn't care, and a few rebelled, becoming the rebellions known throughout the world.

 

2080 - The Underground Sensor Network becomes used to power the many megacities across the continent. One giant sensor is built under Pearl by the Nod however, that does not power the city.

 

2081 - Teleron 6 replaces previous models as the newest laptop computer. Crystal display consoles are also invented that react to one's hands and fingers moving across the display screen. Crystal display screens are also used in most cars, many older models being refitted with the console displays on the front windshield.

 

2082 - Dassault A32 hovercopter is invented

 

2084 - Mark 24 Comm Watch replaces Mark 19

2084 - Lance Kuster is captured by Licin Yukeh and Eridanni Musolini shortly after the formation of the New Federation in Pearl, Dahkur.

He was freed when Gyro's Loyalists began to attack Nod Imperialists in the city. He escaped into the deserts north of the city and ended up in a town past the Dahkur/Furrabian border. He was captured by Furrabian insurgents and tortured before being rescued by Jerome Star and Jordan Hansen, who removed a portion of his memory for Star. Since only Star's mind could comprehend the memory itself, the memory had to be transplanted from Lance directly into Jerome. The procedure was a success, and Lance would later be released with no memory of his rescue. Instead, he believed himself to have been tortured for several hours before escaping on his own.

After Nora's death, Isharu quickly covered her identity by stealing her wallet and any form of identification she had on her before heading off to check on his spy device. The device was booby trapped and Isharu found himself captured by Licin and Eridanni like Lance, though this was long afterwards, when the city was being bombed by Gyro's Loyalists who had captured numerous Nod Orsorus bombers. Isharu escaped back to the Kitami Star. (Lost Ages, Episode 8)

 

2084 - Svitlana, Scarlet Ortensia's guardian, is killed by Gyro's Loyalists while trying to protect Scarlet.

They called her a 'blasphemy' to their 'Lord Gyro'. Svitlana manages to kill two of the three Loyalists before she is killed. Scarlet kills the last one in anger using her control of modified nanoprobes to destroy his mind.

(Lost Ages, Episode 8)

 

2084 - Jordan Hansen and Jerome Star infiltrate a hidden Nod chemical plant underground from a radio tower. The radio tower in question was the central focal point of a large graviton black hole that was sucking in everything above it, notably the space station and even the Kitami Star. Star ended up running into an unidentified man and fighting him, until the man disappeared. Star - with the memory engram gained from Lance Kuster - was able to deactivate the whirlpool of strong gravity particles, but as soon as he did, a self-destruct sequence activated. Since the base was full of dangerous chemicals, the explosion that went off could potentially destroy hundreds of miles of land. When Star tried to drain the chemical vats, he came face to face with the mysterious man again, learning his name was Samuel. He managed to get by Samuel and drain the chemicals from the facility before escaping with Hansen. The explosion totalled the tower, and everyone in orbit of the planet was saved thanks to his effort. (Lost Ages, Episode 8)

 

2084 - Alissa is invited by Jordan Hansen when it is decided that Jerome Star must undergo a certain procedure that would end up killing him. Star agreed to go through with the procedure. The reasoning for it was that Jerome Star had a chroniton signature (a 'soul' as it becomes called) of an alternate reality's version of himself. Since the Circle are dedicated to returning /everything/ to it's near normality, they had to remove the signature from Star and return it to it's rightful owner -- the Jerome Star of the original timeline (and of the Chronicle of Star) just after he loses his during transport through time. The transportation of Star's 'soul' is successful, though it kills Star. The success does, however, allow Star in the original timeline to continue living his life. (Lost Ages, Episode 8)

 

2084 - Shortly afterwards, Nora's funeral progresses. Isharu Trema doesn't speak at the funeral. (Lost Ages, off-screen)
