Since this campaign involves time-traveling, I thought some of you might enjoy having a basic timeline for reference--among other things, those of you with h*archate OCs can decide which time period you're from. (You don't have to decide this straight off; you can leave it open/undetermined.)

Feel free to add important dates for your own characters in comments if you like, and I can update this to include them.

Edited to add: I do have some additional dates (like major book characters' birthdates and so on) that I omitted in the interests of abbreviating this thing. If you have questions about specific things that are not on here, I'm happy to answer--just leave a comment.

NOTE: italicized events/etc. are probably not canon (e.g. player characters or AU events).

The RPG in general is not canonical. Can this timeline be considered canonical?

When was the Liozh conspiracy / when did the heptarchate become the hexarchate? (I feel like this may have been in the books but I can't remember, sorry...)

whenabouts in the timeline are we all meeting in the first place? (and related but not strictly a timeline question: are people also being transported away from that point in the timeline into the past/future, or only to that point in the timeline from other points?)

Sasha is from around the year 5000 of the fourth revelation, which is about 200 in this timeline, give or take fifty years. Her facility with later technology is due to some combination of rebellion-aided study, heretical intuition, and the hexarchate's habit of paying too much attention to exotic effects and neglecting the basics.

Could we add the Moongray visit time? I know it's at the top of move posts, but I keep looking here for it.

Thanks!

(I'm sorry: that sounds really frustrating. But you shouldn't feel obliged to prioritize game things!)

Out of curiosity, could I ask what year Jedao joins the Kel and what year "Extracurricular Activities" takes place in?

Welp, I'm a little confused about that myself. Other characters seem to have a single date each in the timeline. What does that one date represent?

This sounds right! Lately I've been assuming that Sasha was born in 201 and started formal rebellion training in 227 (about a year ago in her personal timeline).

Another thing that I wondered about: do the time rifts move people as far as location, as well as time? I'll assume not.

Let's try this as a scenario:

1164 - Hexarchate assumes full control of border planet Hartsh as part of countermeasures to handle increased Eel activity. Rebellion breaks out almost immediately. Dar and remaining members of her family become part of the rebellion.

1167 - Kel forces break the rebellion. Remaining rebels rounded up and sent to forced labor far away from their native planet (similar to Roman handling of native legionary recruits in conquered/absorbed areas).

1168 --> 949 - While laboring to improve terraforming in the backwoods of Sindol, Dar falls through a time rift and ends up in the early days of Heptarchate Sindol, when Port Honjin had just got to the point where it could really be considered a city. A biology survey team finds her on one of the as-yet unimproved continents and assume she must be a survivor from some earlier exploration effort. What with the ongoing disruption from the Liozh situation, this is less far-fetched than it might have been at other times.

953 - Dar becomes involved with malcontents/rebels (former Liozh sympathizers) on Sindol, which leads to her recruitment for the Wasp project.


OK?

You can travel through the bigger rifts to places that are far away in space as well as time, but I don't know if a ship is a prerequisite there.

Shess set out from their planet, Ylani, in 1036, and probably ended up in a more relevant/recruitable time and/or place due to encountering a rift while trying to avoid Vidona. (The Vidona were not intentionally looking for Shess, but they thought it best to avoid any possibility of attracting attention.)

[The exact details and whether this is on-planet or not have been left open for and depend on exactly how recruitment is supposed to have gone?]
