BATTLELORDS TIMELINE

This is compiled primarily to dispel Human ignorance. It uses their stunted dating system which is centered around one of their ancient religious figures. I wish they would get with the times; it would make my very important job of Alliance history much easier. You, the reader, should thank me for suffering through this arcane nonsense.

The Human's Year of Hell on Earth
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Week 1 Appearing first in the nation of Uganda, a global pandemic of unprecedented lethality sweeps across the planet Earth.

The increasingly toxic environment begins to poison the few remaining Aetlentans who have been living secretly on Earth for thousands of years. Seeing that their own survival is linked to the survival of the human species, they gather the remnant leadership of civilization. The Aetlentans provide them with an archaic form of fusion reactor technology along with their remaining stores of Di-Tritium fuel, a rare diatomic molecule of the radioactive isotope Hydrogen-3 not found on Earth. This ancient alien tech is given with a directive that humanity must establish a permanent colony on Mars as a refuge from the chaotic wasteland of Earth. The Aetlentan children Ariel and her brother Prospero are promised safe passage to the new colony. The Ark Project is instituted to collect and freeze as many DNA samples as possible.

This gesture of goodwill between the races causes the xenophobic paranoia to subside and cultural relations are established. Later that year the North American and Asian Unions meet to discuss the future of humanity on the planet Earth and the effect Mutzachans have on the chances for humanity’s survival. It is uncertain whether or not the visitors will be able to save the planet before radiation extinguishes all indigenous life. Telydyne Corporation is founded and devotes itself to cleaning up the planet. Mutzachans offer to trade technology for medicinal compounds unique to Earth.

Being vastly superior to their natural born counterparts Gens begin replacing Humans in lead positions of the job market and private sector.

The Arachnids notice the incursion and turn their attention to the previously insignificant lifeform.

2089 A.D. The Earth Pact is signed and One World Government is formed, outlawing war. Mutzachans are given broad policing powers to ensure this decree is followed.

2097 A.D. Construction of Starbase 391 above Naxtar is completed.

2098 A.D. Despite the Mutzachan’s best efforts to balance and control Humanity’s evolution, scientists conduct top secret experiments to artificially evolve Gen Humans capable of generating Matrices. The experiment is a success, but the creatures known as Encephalon are uncontrollable. Twenty of the mutants destroy the lab and escape out into the cosmos.

2100 A.D. The colonization of Dnar begins.

2108 A.D. The First Arachnid Invasion. Millions die before it can be stopped over the Sea of Orion. Humans send out a fleet to ambush the Arachnids. The plan is successful.
