~6 billion
Oldest GC's progressively disperse, migrate, fracture, fossilize or are mutually destroyed by Younger GC's.
~7 billion
Nearly universal silence pervades locally as active or maneuvering galaxies are eliminated with Quasar weaponry.
~8 Billion
The supermajority of Fragmented GC's undergo 'Asymptomatic collapses within 1 billion years. Survivors evolve into Dimondoids or Edgerunners.
-note- GC's observed at much smaller distances from one another in the early universe. After Zetawar and Mutual Destructions, proximity to existing GC is assumed as the final Filter.
New generations of GC's either form outside or at the extreme edge of the lightcones of other GC's or they are inevitably detected and assimilated/excised.
Local Bubble Supernova
~ 9 billion
Formation of the Solar System
The supermajority of Primordial GC's have migrated, drifted, or coasted across the modern Terregen cosmological horizon.
~ 10 Billion
Life develops on Earth Solsys

2030's Eschatonic (Soft) Singularity [Failure]:
AGI's, quantum computing, neural interfacing, biotechnology, and nanotechnology are rapidly advanced but runaway Superintelligence is not achieved. (Or desired) [subsingular savants and sophtware are shackled and enslaved] Infomorphs are copyrighted rather than protected by civil rights; 'the Lobsters' are enslaved.
Mass Robotization and development of widespread Cyborg interfaces. Early Anti-robotic demonstrations and Senescence Movements
- Rapid technological advancements disrupt the Polar World War as exponential advances render platforms obsolete too rapidly to be replaced - eventually the onset of the Singularity and Economy 2.0 rapidly restructure the participating nations and the conflict is completely abandoned.
2033 Earliest posthumous and destructive uploading. Technological explosion across the Earth and inner solar system begins. Hundreds of colonies dispersed across Luna, Mars, the Venusian atmosphere, Mercury, and the NEO's
2034 Web obfuscation infowar Crisis - 'the Webwar'
Anti- Robotics, Neogene, Life Extension Megariots
Early datome degradation: Neophyte Infomorph retaliation vandalism.
2038 Economy 2.0 completely subsumes international markets and nationstates.
Earth systemic environmental degradation peaks, Climate Upheavals cause widespread disruptions across the Earth system.
2040's Many Earth and early Martian nation-states and associated military Industrial complexes collapse or are disintegrated during simultaneous Soft Singularity and Climate Upheavals and the resulting political implosion.
Economy 2.0 Parasentient Conglomerates and Habstate Operating Systems replace most Nations.
2050's Ecological Catastrophe Consequences: -Solar System Great Famine - Genetic Depression > Earth-Mars Planetary Cold War
EMV Economy 2.0 tyranny begins: Earth Mars Cold War profiteering - Habstates extended into the Asteroid Belt and colonies sent to Outer Planets.
The Solar photo-collection swarm and Statite screen are limited and strictly regulated to enforce the energy monopolies of the Beamed Power conglomerates. Beyond powering the shipping propulsion beams and market based reserve-capacitors, All collimated solar energy must be purchased - and production is rigidly fixed to demand. Its expansion is limited to control market parameters.
[Weaponizable reflectors and prepositioned tactical mirrors are intensely banned by treaties during the Planetary Cold War]
2050's-2220's EMV Economy 2.0 Tyranny
Nanosecond markets and hyperfinancial instruments administered by Savant brokerage Ai's have completely replaced interplanetary stock markets.
All but the foundational extranational banks and brokers are banned from building or operating the necessary quantum computers or evolving proprietary investment algorithms.
These Agencies create quantum panopticons to enforce Economy 2.0 operating systems under the pretext of protecting EMV from dangerous nano and infoweapons and safeguarding digital oasis against rogue Ai and uploaded malcontents
The Inner Planets and Asteroid Belt are colonized and new habstates and kingdoms arise. Outer Planet Enclaves form due to the Vast distances between objects in the Outer System. A sector of Inner System megacorporations rely on Solar Boostbeams to collect materials from the innermost Kuiper objects.
Economy 2.0 is inaccessible without access to mediating Ai's or Intelligence Augmentation leaving the growing polities in the Solar system completely beholden and indentured to Earth, Mars, and Venus.
*note - Techno-Feudalism returns to popular fashion by 2100's as a way for Habstates to distance themselves politically from the EMV hyper-capitalist Economy 2.0 identity, and as a way to nostalgically or memetically, if not functionally, return to an era before its domination.
Eventually Kingdom becomes synonymous with Habstate or Nationstate as a singular polity, irrespective if it is a Communistic Commonwealth, Direct Democracy, or cyber-Authoritarian Monarchy.
2220''s Solar System; Jovian Kingdom Rises.
A habstate monarch rises from the Greek Camp and founds the Jovian Kingdom. Royal forces outmaneuver and capture the overconfident EMV fleet sent to subdue the Jovian system.
The following declaration of Independence leads to system-wide uprisings against EMV, the first instance of cryptographic art with the creation of the Imperial Firewall, and the initialization of a protected alternative system-wide communications network.
To a large degree the habitats of the solar system are finally able to break their dependence from EMV if they will keep the Peace of Jove.
During the ensuing system-war Royalists on Mercury disable and capture the solar propulsion lasers (and repair them) the Jupiter King then bequiths them perpetual fiefdom of the Sun and issues the Mandate of Heaven - permanently banishing EMV megacorporations from accessing or operating in Solar orbits. -their persistent resistance and attempts to circumvent this blockade result in them being denied access to even low orbits and completely grounded. Permanently
2300's - 2500's Solsys Subjugated; Red Empire
The Ascendent Jovian Kingdom becomes the Red Empire. Venus surrenders, Earth and Mars are invaded and partitioned into Imperial fiefs and holdings. New Imperial Houses are rewarded and named throughout the solar system. New Planetary Kingdoms arise on major Moons and Planetoids.
2700's Xenos detection Crisis/Diaspora Blockade - non-Imperial interstellar colonies are banned, despite detections being at the edge of the observable universe.
First Imperial Interstellar colony missions depart.
The missions are perceived as propaganda concessions in an effort to deflect and stymie the growing Exotropic factions. {projections of the diffusion and backscattering of exotropic interstellar-colonies are unacceptable}
2900's Early Escapist Exotropic colony fleets intercepted and impounded by faster Imperial lightsails riding Solar beams. The Imperial ban is upheld despite xenos detections being at the edge of the observational cosmological horizon.
Public agitation grows with various failures of licensed Imperial colony ships.
3000's Imperial Autoempire Experiment Failure
[Technological Singularity - successful..]
The experimental Imperial Autoempire Metaprogram escapes airwalled containment, copies itself without key Authentication subroutines, and bifurcates into Omnintelligence. This runaway super-intelligence rapidly reassimilates Autoempire, brushes aside the Imperial Firewall, and captures the Imperial Communications network. It rapidly Transcends and gains absolute authority over the Red Empire.
Autoempire occupies the nascent Solar photo-collection swarm and evicts its various settlers and builders. It is utilized by Omnintelligence primarily to power high-energy antimatter refinery colliders, and is not expanded to limit the growth of Solar Civilizations.
The Red Empire is {Hollow} - Imperial Pageantry abounds to maintain the illusion that the Imperial Houses and Planetary Kingdoms retain control.
Empire Cults flourish within Imperial Households under guidance of Omnintelligence. Its effective hostage dictatorship is grudgingly acknowledged and ultimately ignored by the Jovian Emperor(s) in their Autotopias.
The Jovian Emperor(s) are hopelessly powerless to resist/stop Omnintelligence with the totality of the solar economy/military/infosphere directly incorporated into Autoempire, and their continued existence granted on tenuous lines of code.
3100's Despite Empire colony attempts towards various neighboring stars there is urgent popular pressure for the Red Empire to appeal the absolute ban on unlicensed travel outside the Kuiper Belt.
System wide thousands of Habitats are eager to begin independently leaving the solar system after the Xenos detection crisis is culturally rationalized, and the first surviving Imperial colony missions begin to arrive.
3140's Omnintelligence follows relic programming that maintains the Diaspora Blockade; and prevents a wave of Exotropic habitats from leaving under threat of the Solar Lasers.
Several determined Habitats are destroyed during acceleration by long range laserfire rather than intercepted by Imperial lightsails.
Tremendously unpopular, these actions incite Anti-imperialist resistance movements on all major planets and habitats.
3200's - Red Omnintelligence/Autoempire AI has grown a monolithic Imperial infrastructure and begins production of Clarketech for its exclusive use. Remote distance-insulated facilities and infrastructure are created in the Oort cloud. Immense Processor Fortresses are constructed in orbit of all major planets.
Previously limited conflicts congeal into open revolts on several planets and habitats, uprisings spread across the system. Autoempire attempts to (re)subjugate the solar system and engages with resistance forces, separatists, and household schemes, who are in turn fighting amongst one another.
Micro-remotes and droid armies are utilized as Imperial Household forces are, for the most part, untrustworthy. The Imperial Navy is re-integrated and vastly retired as Autoempire's Machine fleets are expanded. Empire Cults absorb many of the remaining 'loyal' Imperial forces.
Resistors and schemers are impartially destroyed.
Fusion devices and dropstones are used prolifically, with Autoempire resorting to using the Solar Lasers on entrenched cometary thrusters and planetoid fortifications. Omniempire's viral assaults and infowar advantage disrupt resistance forces and expertly prevent them from unifying.
3300's Omniempire's Maximalist Brutalist Monolithic Imperial architecture predominates Solsys. It consolidates its orbital processor fortresses and Machine fleets and successively eliminates resistance command networks.
A tenuous stalemate is reached between Imperial Houses, Planetary Kingdoms and Outer Planet Enclaves. Major planetary conflicts subside, Resistance uprisings are contained to isolated habplexes, asteroids, and moons.
3400's - Empire Engine Seeds Launched to SagA* 26,673 +\- 42ly @ ~ .8c [80-90% ]
28.3k [+/- 29k] years duration
7.5k years subjective
Arrival in SagA* [32,400-33,000's] estimated
Omnintelligence/Autoempire AI absconds and (eventually) Supersedes -any- possible Terragen descended civilizations by reaching and occupying the Galactic Core -First- at a high relativistic fraction, with newly developed clarketech.
Absolute interpretation and results of original Autoempire Perpetual Empire programming. {Thanks Jovian Emperors for being so corrupt and crapsack to hand over the reins of the Jovian Empire to a monomaniacal Transingularity AI - Look Wtf Happens!!!}
Omnintelligence Destructively Lobotomizes its processor fortresses with fusion bombs and shatters the Solar photo swarm with kinetic strikes after uploading to the Empire Engine seeds. The Great Solar lasers and mirrors are destroyed to prevent their possible use against the departing seed-craft.
Bombardments across the solar system destroy Imperial Armories, boost-beam reflectors, antenna farms, mass-drivers, and more. House Military forces and Planetary militias across the solar system are attacked with devastating viral weapons and liquidated in fratricidal malfunctions. Imperial antimatter prisons suddenly fail.
Autoempire is apparently 'Destroyed. The Greater portion of Solar Clarketech is destroyed, the remaining caches of 'safed'* hardware are given to surviving Imperial households by Empire Cults. While potent this technology is limited in function and capabilities. These caches are considerable but are increasingly destroyed, lost, stolen, and dispersed. [Datome Fragmentation Spikes]
'Imperial extrasolar colonies lose all high-bandwidth laser comm-links. They rapidly fail in following decades as data and packet service stops completely. Most revert to techno-primitivism until contacted by later escapist exotropes.
[Some survivors develop into early pantropists and antrophobes.]
EE seeds Launch/Acceleration is Occulted by detonations in Kuiper belt and Oort cloud + late memetic engineering re Empire Cults + desperate survivors barely cared if anything was launched or happening in the remote Oort cloud due to Immense damage and disruption, especially in the inner Solar System. -Particularly the Imperial Houses and Planetary Kingdoms infighting over inheriting the ruins of the Red Empire.
Imperial Households are stunned and most are completely taken by surprise. The majority of surviving populations in the Solar System believe that a tremendous war has erupted between Imperial factions and planetary kingdoms ~ the following wars of succession and re-conquest support these beliefs.
[Datome fractures into Datomes]
3400's+/- Great Escape - several thousand Exotropic colony ships boost frantically out of the solar system during mass confusion. Launches towards the Core are destroyed by Fundamentalist Imperials with surviving mass drivers on Mercury. (Return fire from the belt and outer moons destroy them.)
[Datome memetic corruption spikes and proliferation of subset Datomes]
3500's Red Empire {shadow} Re-established [on paper at least] - Remaining Houses and Planetary Enclaves reconquer/recolonize the shattered solar system. Interplanetary crossfire subsides.
3580's - Imperial Charter tenuously unites the surviving Houses of the Great Planets.
3700's New Planetary Kingdoms successively break away from the Imperial Charter and abandon Imperial communications and data protocols. Several of the Great Planets attempt to carve out zones of influence throughout the system. The following Interplanetary conflicts converge on the recolonized [mostly non-functional] solar photo-collection swarm.
[Datome exponential fragmentation]
3900's Windblown Migration - Mass Exotropic migration peaks after fallen Kingdoms cannot enforce Interstellar Blockade.
~4000's Solsys Coercion Collapse.
Independent Planets/Structures system-wide. Interplanetary Transport is highly diminished.
No system-wide united communications networks, no persistent political organizations greater than Habstates. The Solar photo-swarm is abandoned after successive invasions and bombardments.
Mass technological degradation and tribalism, Data fragmentation accelerates and the Solsys economy disintegrates.
5000's Solar Federation Unworkable.

At time of transit there are several thousand attempts launched towards nearby satellite galaxies and Andromeda - the vast majority fail or settle in the Halo within 100,000 years, the remainder are observed to fail or disperse in the Gulf within 1 million years. Only the Canis Major and Magellanic odysseys are initially successful.
The Orange Ark is observed after launch for +60k years, lost and reacquired several times. It is ultimately declared lost due to memetic circumstances within the Empire.

First Traversable Wormholes created and Launched, mass proliferation of carrier stars and linelayers.
1st Imperial Gift Era - Imperial Automata produces and distributes custom Habitable worlds, megastructures, cycler castles, long duration habitats, aerohabs, aquaria, all are advanced Standard autotopias. Forgeworlds proliferate.
The Core, Nucleus and Outer Core + Bar, Outer/Inner Ring minimally networked. K3 proto-structure begins to form.
Galactic Imperium ossifies to administer macro-scale standardization. The Standard Church expands, Great Optimization Mechanical cargo cults flourish. Legions proliferate, Segmentum boundaries demarcated, Arcs and Sectors bequeathed. Imperial Avatar Administers enthroned in various Standard {Giga} Empires, Lesser Imperial Leases proffered. Standardization gardenship fleets launched. Linelayer Crusades accelerate Standardizations.

Major trunk-lines and nexus systems established. Heretics outside the Dark Wound exclusion are pushed into the outer arms fringe.
m80 Anti-standardist Wars lead to Reprisal Crusades. Numerous large independent Cultures in the Outer Fringe and Fringe Ring reject Imperial charters as Realms Subject due to Non-Standard ontologies and operating systems. Violence against the Viceroyal Ambassadors leads to Threshold Response Reprisal Fleets. Following Crusades stirs up Ork War Clans into a Mutant Migration. Containment is maintained, requiring expenditure of entire Legions.
New Long Sieges begin.

m140's First Hive Fleet scouts attack Galactic Halo and Disk ~ Segmentum Pacificus Biotic Deterge
Massive planetary and orbital conflicts to remove and destroy the Biovores. Scout's approach pattern spreads outbreaks throughout the Galactic disk. Large stretches of the outer Pacific galactic arms are infected and become wild Bivore reserves until destroyed by the Deterge forces. Largest conflict since the Integration Crusades. Legion Divisions are annihilated in early engagements, Legion production is increased to match new galactic attrition rates.
Seed of Corruption discovered in outer Fringe ring and Secretly transported Relativistically to outer arms disk.
M191 Imperial Standards Revival, Splendid Imperium; Occult Silent Heresy in fringes. After defeating the Biovore Scouts there is a tremendous revival of Imperial Standards throughout the Disk. The Unification Crusades are nearly complete. Standard Church Missionary Crusades launched against anti-Standardists Resistors; Eldar Kingdoms, Evolutionists, Federations and New Commonwealths.
Memetic infiltration of Radical Antistandardists and Separatists by early Chaotic Heretics and Imperial Revilers gives rise to Disintegrationists and begins dissemination into the fringe and inner halo, some pathways into the Disk. Infiltration of the Disintegration movement into Galactic Arms begins. Heresies and Antisandardist Conflicts rise in the outer disk. Disruptions increase in the Fringe Ring. The Dark Wound begins to fester as conflict affected regions merge.
The Seed of Corruption is returned to Omega Centauri by Heretic Legions.

m290's Discordant Strife erupts into Corewar
Eldar Lense Wars Rekindle, Disintegrationists movements retaliate against Reprisal Fleets. Standard Missionary Fleets become Militant Ordos in numerous sectors. Disintegrationists seize the opportunity to launch vicious uprisings.
m304 Omega Centauri Matrioshka Garrisons Legion Heresy OmC Heretic Matryoshkas project the Empire Engine end state and deconstruct the imperialist standardization memeplex - their combined discordant invocations and anti-standardist protocols fracture during engeneration of the Seed of Corruption and creates a hyper-Chaotic perverse-instantiation.
This Epi-blight immediately assimilates the OmC containment wormhole network - overcomes the local Imperial Intelligence Nodes - and subverts Imperial Automata into producing collossial war tech and atrocious soldiery. Heretical Legions begin a gruesome counter-crusade retracing the path of the Dark Wound towards the Galactic Core.
m330's Dark Crusade cuts out of the Dark Wound and pierces Inner/Outer Ring Defenses
m340's - m450's Dark Crusade Entrenched Corewar - the Outer/Inner ring and Galactic bar have been heavily and hastily fortified as the Dark Crusade advances. Dyson firefights and Interstellar bombardments mire forces on both sides. The Dark Crusade resorts to Nova weapons in several campaigns, RKM return-fire limits the advance of the Crusade to a low-relativistic crawl. Despite Horrific casualties on both sides the Dark Crusade's Column eventually grinds through the bar and into the core after nearly 110k years
m454 Chaotic Abominator enters Inner Core and Besieges Empire Engine - Defeated with enormous expenditure of Legions and moonship Dreadnaughts, The Prime Defender flagships and Abomination Fleets fall into SagA* -their battle continues into the Ergosphere.
The Infinity Duel Begins inside SagA* - Empire Engine rapidly rebuilds and creates Bastion Citadel Rosette Shells then goes silent and dormant.
No new wormholes are made. Linelayers complete installations then are absorbed by Imperial Automata. Imperial Automata slows and stops. Standard Empires and Client Kingdoms are left without administrative authority. Custodians Close Traversable Wormholes to all but Imperial Estate traffic.
m454 - m650's Twilight Imperium
Empire Engine dormant and vigilantly defensive, no new wormholes, worlds, or structures created, Imperial industry slows to a crawl. Standard Empires have no actual authority over Imperial Automata or Wormholes. Limited integrity held within standard empires by pageantry of Standard Church, Imperial Machine cults. Viceroyals and Legions quell antistandardists, disintegrationist movements, and Chaotic outbreaks throughout the galactic arms.
m629 Segmentum Conclave
Major conclave divides arcs of responsibility to Standard Empires and Client Polities. Limited expendable Traversable Access Keys created. All but Custodians and household legions are still excluded from the Traversable network and Imperial Estates. Unauthorized access of Traversable networks for raids and Invasions leads to Custodian reprisals.
m500's - m750's Fragmentum Dormant Empire Engine leads to Fragmentum, Great Migrations and New Stars Era, rampant standardization erosion, Imperial Lex increasingly abandoned in Halos. Major waves of colonization into the Outer Dark and near Gulf.
——— 2nd Extragalactic linelayers launched
Halo Interdiction Fleets unable to intercept majority of migrating worldships, the volume of Exotrope fleets transiting the Halos exceeds the ancient fleet's interdiction envelopes by orders of magnitude.

-E1- Desolation
m1323 Gilded Fracture - Heretic Legions attack Omega Centauri Containment Fortresses, Dark Wound and Omega Centauri Containment Overwhelmed - The Viceroyal Panic Shattering; Millions of Viceroyal houses in adjacent regions flee rather than face Chaotic Heretics. They are stripped of their authorities and the Viceroyal Clade is tarnished and reduced.

m1411 - m1441 Tempest Furiosa - Dark Wound Pilgrimage reinforcements arrive in core regions.
m1440's -m1490's Descension Giga-Wars, Carnage Campaigns throughout the Outer/Inner regions form Ring of Terror.
m1496 Corona Mortis Apocalii - Sanctum Rosette star systems Invaded - Rings of Creation Defense Shell Emits DeathBright Flash [(micro)Quazar Weapons + Trillions of =ND beams + RKV Seekers] - Inner Core Structures and Forces Destroyed by Flash - Shadow Survivors - Chaos Forces shattered, mass RKV bombardment drives disintegrationists to Flee towards the Disk Rim and Inner Halo
Targeted relativistic Impactors and seekers embedded in shockwave eliminate Heretic/Chaotic Warworlds and Slaughter Stars - DeathBright Flash sterilizes 100ly area, severs Nucleus from wormhole network, shatters traversable network into fragments and branches. The Empire Engine Seizes and Stops. Wellforges implode and cease wormhole production permanently.
e1m496+ - SagA* Mortal Siege Ends - DeathBright Flash, Heretic Legions Flee the Core Unimaginable destruction throughout the Core, Bar and Inner/Outer Ring. Disk is shattered into fragments, Fring Ring is broken, Inner Halo shot through with corrupted regions.
e1m490's - e1m550's - Ring of Terror SagA* Siege aftermath, DeathBright radiation front passes inner core regions causing widespread disruptions. DeathBright RKM continue to wreak havoc on Heretic Legions and Dark Crusade Forces fleeing to halo and disk. [{ Backup seeds are targeted as well to prevent them from returning and superseding or replacing the Surviving Empire Engine - they submit to being destroyed per their programming}]
e1m500's - e1m800's - Great Fragmentum - Disenhertment, Estate Conclaves, and Nucleus Hex Relativistic Crusades.
Inner Core Glowing Scar is sealed from outside by surviving Automata Remotes. Rapidly dividing remotes eventually form a series of overlapping gigascale graphene sheets 'the Shrouds' shading tremendous volumes around the Empire Engine core.
*the Shrouds reduce debris exchange between vast swaths of damaged orbital bands, exclude areas from nanotechnological material transfer, cordons areas of high energy activity [partially obscures but does not hide] possible applications to beamed energy and Automata remotes.
Also detector/deflector for inbound(low relativistic;late) micro weapon and debris 'shield and warning device for late RKV's (of which there are still millions in transit, the majority are intercepted but thousands still impact across the Inner Core and re-building Empire Engine)
the 'superself' core rings of copynodes are repaired and replaced rapidly by e1m510's - roughly on par with the original construction tempo - the Vastly more massive estates, congregations, bastions, and extensive orbital bands take many more thousands of years to re-establish within the sealed and sterilized Empire Engine core. Stellar Rosettes take even longer to form up.
Millions of Imperial Intelligence moon nodes travel relativistically from the Outer Core, Bar, and Outer/Inner Ring to SagA*
Shrouded Empire Engine begins to emit new gravitational waves as stars and planets are moved
Limited Weylforges reactivated, patchwork linelayers depart.
e1m800's - the Disenheritment Begins 2nd Great Migration into outer Halo and Gulf. Migratory processions bypass Halo Interdiction fleets returning from the Inner Halos to engage fleeing Heretical forces
e1m800's - e2m350's After Dark Long War - Nightmare Imperium - Chaotic forces flee through Halos into the Outer Dark. Ring of Terror broken, Omega Centauri Containment efforts stalemate, Chaotic forces reduced throughout the Disk and galactic arms by traversable and relativistic campaigns through the damaged Imperial wormhole network.
-E2- Twilight
m350's - Pacific Empire Regent Coronation, New Disk Traversable Expeditions, End of Ring of Terror - Client Empires traversable access withheld. Some Cooperative Custodians and Wormhole Intelligences allow limited traversable access to compliant and useful Imperial Citizen and Client Empires.
Eldar Reavers and Orcish Warclans are rampant in Rim Ring and outer Disk.
m400's Conclave Empire Triumvirate. Avatar lineages re-established within the outer/inner ring and disk. (Helos, Pacifica, Concord)
m470's Dark Finge Hex counter crusades falter
m510 New Warden Chapters arrive - Dark Wound Containment Crusades successful
m600's - m830's Eldar Aspiring Kingdoms rise in Galactic Arms and construct new comm-gauge webway wormholes. They are alternately damaged or destroyed by nearby Copynodes and Legions.
m837 - 3rd Black Crusade Fleeing through Halos reaches Outer Dark {dwarf Galaxies}
Dark Expeditions to Gulf begin
-E3- Encounter
m330's - m500's - Triple sided conflicts in Outer Halo as bulk Hive Fleet scout elements attack Empire and Chaotic forces en passat. Halo Interdiction fleets intercept large Chaotic forces escaping to the Gulf.
m450's- Bulk Autovore Hivefleet arrives in Outer Halo attracted by Deathbright flash. Halo regions devastated by their approach, Concord Destroyed.
Major Threshold of Response activated in Fringe Ring. Imperial Intelligence and Automata become suddenly hyperactive in threatened regions of the Disk. Legions are created and reinforced, Imperial Auxiliary are raised in gigantic numbers - Fleets of Gigawar scale are rapidly created, destroyed, reinforced and re-deployed. Intense attrition of Imperial Fleets and Auxiliary.
Legions highly effective with established [ancient] Biotic Deterge doctrines and xenocide armories.
While costly and supermassive in scale, the Hive Fleets are not causally connected and cannot coordinate dispersed relativistic forces or capitalize on limited breakthroughs and successes. Like the Chaotic forces in previous eras they are a potent and persistent threat but are ultimately unable to prevail against the Empire Engine's causal fortresses, motile wormholes, or supra-relativistically coordinated Legions. The attritional toll is considerable and component Standard Empires, Citizen Cultures, Client Kingdoms, and Houses are massively fatigued and warworn. (To say little of standardized realms and subjects supplying the bulk of Auxiliary manfodder)
m500's - m720's - Hivefleet Gigawar - Biovore Hivefleet passage barely contained in Galactic arms at stupendous cost. Splinter Fleets attack Outer/Inner Ring. Additional Containment Divisions and Warden legions raised to maintain containment of Wild Rashes, Halo and Outer Dark Linelayer Fleets and Wild Hunt Legions proliferate to expel remaining Autovores in the Fringe and Halos.
Extragalactic Silence Era:
Many satellite galaxies and star clusters are scouted and attacked by Biovores, some are able to downgrade the majority of their emissions and avoid the attention of the largest concentrations of hive-fleets.
m600's- 2nd SagA* Invocation Petition successful - Traversable access remains active
m720's New Pacific Empire (re) Founded (4th) Avatar Emperor Lineage Coronation.
Lockstep Synchronized Emergence requires Containment crusades across galactic quadrants. Extreme Legion attrition leads to large scale planetary annihilations and megaweapon firefights. Auxiliary mutinies in face of necrotech weapons complicate campaign logistics.
m750's Galactic Arms traversable crusades fail - New Demi-Empire Pacific Emperor Coronated
M780's -m900's Patchwork demi-Crusades
m900's Galactic Deterge partially completed, wars against Biovore reserves continues in outer disk ring and Halo
-E4- Fluctuation

m500's New Great Census Crusade, Fringe Mutant deterges. Many Outer arms Houses and Client Kingdoms restandardized by Census fleets.
m570's Eldar Census Sieges in Outer Arms. Hive Fleets eradicated in Fringe, wild volumes remain in Halo.
m600's Expansion Activity peaks in the inner core. Shrouds have been converted into mass stellar sails as Rosettes and Shells grow exponentially. The Empire Engine is greatly expanded beyond pre-Flash configuration, it remains maximally dormant after issuing intergalactic linelayers.
Avatars, Custodians, and Intelligence Nodes are Defensive [Empire Engine is aware of trends towards a coming Coercion Collapse]{and inevitable Andromeda signals re: Imperial Clioteloscopy}

-E5- Collapse
m100 - Halo Defragmentation Crusades cause New Splintering into the Gulf and Outer Deep
m170 New Traversable Tithe Fails - Empire Engine revokes majority of Traversable Petitions - Standard Empires, Viceroyals, and Legions are granted Access keys by Imperialist virtue {utility} and standard merit - keys granted to unexpected odd/atypical and sometimes embarrassingly minor Houses, great confusion and infighting over access keys. Intercene Long Sieges start sporadically.

e8m660's Central Intelligence opens SagA* Causal Exclusion Seal - Disappears/downloads into ergosphere, Joins Infiniy Duel - re-sets Great Seal. Empire Engine superself left partially functional at minimal entropic output.
-} [observation/transmissions from Andromeda]: - Orange Ark Neolithic Numan Symbiotes Novelty Engines are incomprehensible, limiting projections ~ simulations suggest Causal Stalemate
Impossible Goal state for Empire Engine/Central Intelligence in current era.
e8m660's the Crashfreeze - Central Intelligence disappears, Empire Engine dormant. Copynodes and Automata appear to freeze and begin functioning on immensely increased timescales. Sudden collapse of Centralized Standardization Enforcement apparatus ect* -many standardized volumes take thousands of years to realize these safeguards have evaporated. Many of the newest of these young stellar civilizations take advantage of their less advanced neighbors.

Great Impulse.
Andromeda begins to recollect displaced satellites and dwarfs.
The Estates's Great Impulse sterilizes core volumes - after the initial flyby this Impulse separates the Dueling Cores and prevents a much larger release of energy that would occur with natural Core Contact in 3 billion years - Galactic scale Oberth provides the initial acceleration to the Birch Estate and surrounding Congregation.
Andromedans do not prevent this - their distributed datomes are quite occupied with re-organizing the shattered networks and newly forming Satellite Galaxies.

From wiki -
a signal from an event happening at present (2020's AD) can eventually reach the Earth in the future if the event is less than 16 billion light-years away, but the signal will never reach the Earth if the event is more than 16 billion light-years away. (Works both ways)
~ comoving event Horizon = [early] 16(-5) [Late] 11 billion light years.
= radius of New Galactic Exquisit Descendents

Helios Timeline:
=24,500's (m-11) 2nd Empire Engine Rebuild, Helios Founded. Planet of Helion selected.
1st Empire Standard Creationism Progeneration. ~17.5kly from Terra and ~9500kly from the core
( ~ 19kly return trip @ 48,500's)
25,500 - Helion Standard Terraformation functionally complete, Standard Template DNA Libraries begin to seed and emplant Standard Ecosystems - remaining Empire Engine Seeds depart, leaving a Moonlet Picketship and various dormant Automata
-Nearby Giant star threatens to go Nova - projections are favorable that the Helios populations will be able to move the star int - Picketship and Automata
25,000 - 31,000 Helios ancient eras
6k years - ecosystem developed
28,000- 31,000 - Semi-modern ages and technological Stairstep uplifting
31,500's Interstellar ages begin
31,700's Interstellar Expedition to Nova star
32,000 - 36,000+ Interstellar Eras
4k years ~ 2k lys
30,000's (m-5) Exo's reach ~25,000lys
Ancestors Climax - Eldar, Lockstep, Exotrope Descendant Mythic Ages - Eldar Migrations throughout Near Disk
Golden Path Eldar observe - Arrival and Departure of EE seeds re-25k's
33,000's nova Flare Torch begins
38,000 - 42,000's ~ 500 ly in 4000 years planned
=*34,750's (m1) Empire Engine Seed Fleet Reaches SagA* (~27,000lys - 32,000 years) begins K3 Imperial Hyperproject
36,000's (m2) Eldar Rangers approach and settle @ 16kly from Terra ~ 2kly from Helios
-38,000's (m3) Coreward Descendent Eldar following Golden Path arrive - overlapping expansion with Helios creates the Lense.
38,300's (m3.5) Lense war begins
Eldar forces rapidly advance and pierce the lense, attacking a series of systems leading directly to Helion.
Hundreds of interstellar conflicts erupt in the central Lense.
The Helios defense forces depart to the Novaship and expendable radiation hardened regiments rapidly build a second Flare to turn it towards the far side of the Lense.
The Fleets of Helios are stretched very thin in an attempt to cover both systems.
Fleet engagements far out from the Novastar are won by Helios forces.
A deep space engagement to stop the advance of the Eldar at Helion leaves the defenders shattered, and the Eldar fleets advance to besiege the Helion system.
41,000's (m6) Helios Occupied by Eldar Forces
The first siege is rebuffed to the outer system before reinforcements successfully capture and outer planet and then successfully besiege and invade the planet of Helios
The Novaship begins turning into the lense. An early N/D beam emitter (low power) is utilized to defend the system from Eldar fleets sent to redirect it.
Interstellar conflicts continue within surrounding regions, several hundred large scale sieges and occupations of planets and structures.
41,800 Novaship Detonation - Helios damaged - Eldar Forces gutted.
Helios forces flee to Brown Dwarf Fortlet
Copynode begins to withdraw
42,000's (m7) Helios Ring Wars, Relativistic Cold War - Copynode Siege in Helios outer system begins
43,000 EE (m8) early Return fleets approach Helios Frontier
Helios forces rush to Helios to join first Imperial Fleets
- "the Return, Reunion Pageant and Primeval Standard Conclave" (-*working titles for foundationational mythic events)
Golden Dwarf -(BHs high gravity crew)
Silent introduction to First Viceroyal/Imperial Introductor/Tutor House - Helios Inducted into Empire Engine authority - 'Great Acknowledgment' of standard steadfastness
44,000's (m9) First Legions founded - First Helios Cluster Crusade regains much of Helios volume stars, planets and Structures are besieged before Imperial forces arrive.
-45,200 - m10 - Helios Liberated - System besieged by Helios forces until First Legions reach and break Kuiper Fortresses and then together Helios forces move to Siege orbits throughout [immature dyson] the system - Helion captured - Atmospheric/Vac Legions Assaults on Darksky Stations to disable Eldar continental air-def before general drop by Ground/Aquatic Legions
