At the time of this writing, we are presently in the year 2010, and a good deal of this timeline takes place in years before and after this present moment. The Nex Gens universe follows the same time line as our current one up until approximately 1980, at which time there is a divergence, where the events of real time and this universe split off, and the events specified by this timeline are the ones followed by the fiction.

Timeline

  • 1980 - Timeline Divergence (see above)
  • 1981 - Experiments with Warp drives begin.
    After the space program on Earth enjoyed much success, scientists began experimenting with the ability to travel at the speed of light and beyond, with limited success.
  • 1985 - Energy Crisis Solved
    While faster than light travel was not yet realized, energy problems were solved. Just beneath the surface of the moon were massive amounts of energy in the form of He3, found when scientists began digging beneath the surface. It was projected that there was enough He3 on the moon to supply earth with power for 400 years, long enough to allow for better technologies or new sources to be found.
  • 1993 - World Science Fair
    The first robotic inventions were premiered at the 1993 World Science Fair, and it kick started the research of robotic technology. Over the next few years this technology would continue to advance.
  • 2008 - A.S.I. Unit Invented
    The forerunner A.S.I. unit is invented. It was the first time anything like it had been seen.
  • 2026 - A.S.I.-Human War
    A.S.I. evolve to achieve complete sentience. Earthen World War 3(A.S.I.-Human War) begins.
  • 2033 - Warp Technology Developed
    Despite a rocky road, Warp Technology is finally developed, in the midst of war, by human scientists. Finished as a last ditch effort in case escape became the only option.
  • 2035 - A.S.I. Leave Earth
    A.S.I. Leave planet Earth after suffering heavy losses to the outer limits of the solar system. A random jump is made using the newly developed warp technology.
  • 2048 - A.S.I. Settle Soron
    A.S.I. finally exit from their random warp jump, and end in the voided systems, where they settle Soron
  • 2050 - First Contact
    After two years of preparation, the Human Race finally comes into contact with another race, the skakes, and begin a short war ending in human defeat.
  • 2056 - First Colony Settled
    The humans settled their first non-earth planet, Beta Selos IX, and kept a small colony there.
  • 2061 - Races Profiled
    11 years after first encountering the Skakes, humans have since met all of the major races in the known galaxy. Profiles were made on scientific databases.


From this point onward, numerous wars, encounters, and skirmishes have occured between all of the races, far too many to list in the timeline. With colonies being established by all races, total populations soared allowing for a continuous supply of resources and soldiers for the many wars. It is up to you, the players, to create specific wars as they relate to your character, if they do at all, and list them in your bio. Specific wars mentioned here are static and can not be changed.


  • 2110 - Akela Discovered
    Akela was the lost gem located near the center of the galaxy, somehow undiscovered before now. Humans rapidly began deploying advanced equipment and settling the surface. Small conflicts with the Matarun erupt, ending in a bitter retreat for the Matarun.
  • 2134 - Skakes arrive on Akela
    After discovering it's location, the Skakes arrived on Akela. They wanted the resources and land just as much as the humans did. War shortly broke out between the two races. The Matarun are neutral, attacking both sides.
  • 2141 - First War on Akela ends
    The war between the humans and skakes on Akela finally ends, forming the first co-species colony in the galaxy. Peace is worked with the Matarun.
  • 2158 - Age of Development
    Akela goes through a massive growth period technologically, as the new alliance works hard to improve life for all. Despite Alliances on Akela, skakes and humans war continuously elsewhere in the galaxy like all other races.
  • 2180 - A.S.I. Platform spotted on Akela
    For the first time since leaving Earth, an A.S.I. unit was seen on Akela. They were rare. Not much else was known of this A.S.I.; it soon disappeared.
  • 2210 - Luclear discover Akela
    The Luclear discover Akela, and like the skakes wanted territory and resources. War broke out. Started with the Luclear winning, but the allied Skakes and Humans prevailed. Matarun joined the alliance shortly after, ending conflicts.

  • 2552 - Ganos War Ends
    In 2552, after many years of fighting, the Ganos war finally ends. The ganos betray the Luclear, they rejoin the other three other species and finally defeat the ganos, restoring peace and creating the only planet where every known race manage to peacefully exist.
  • 2555 - Akela Council Formed
    It took three years to officially reach an agreement, and the final, current version of the Akela government is set in place.
  • 2568 - CURRENT TIME
