Below is a timeline of events for the PHIA Phorce Universe. Certain dates are relative as further events development. The Yeddo calendar is the primary calendar being used. One year is 360 Earth days long, and two distinct eras exist. BB refers to before the Blackout and AB refers to after.

Please note that this timeline is currently in the process of a rework and dates may change.

Early Spacefaring Era

  • The earliest VR headsets are invented on planet Earth.
  • The virtual reality industry catches on, facilitating the development of many technologies from artificial intelligence, robotics, communications and more.
  • The planet Mars is colonized. The city of Chionistra is founded at the base of Olympus Mons.
  • The Doctrine of Artificial and Synthetic Intelligence (DASI) is established. All AI's above a certain intelligence threshold must have morality and ethics subroutines.
  • The first warp drive is invented.
  • Unmanned probes are sent to other solar systems to evaluate the habitability of other worlds.
  • Long term generation ships are sent out to other solar systems, spreading humanity throughout the galaxy. This is a process that takes thousands of years.
  • The planet Yeddo is settled by its first colonists.

Imperial Era

Rise of an Empire

  • The first quantum crystals are synthesized which results in a sudden jump in advancement in interstellar navigation.
  • An emerging society which would later become the Valerian Empire takes root within the city of Chionistra.
  • The Valerians catch up with the generation ships in a campaign to reunite humanity. New technologies are developed to allow for consistent FTL communication.
  • A golden age of innovation occurs as the first megastructure servers are constructed.
  • Interstellar VR worlds become more popular as they allow fast, easy communication without the need of physical travel.
  • Consciousness upload technology is perfected.
  • The first sentient virtual reality life forms are discovered.
  • The number of colonized star systems reaches more than 200,000 across the Milky Way Galaxy.
  • The Olympus Mons Vault is created to serve as a repository of all human knowledge up to this point.

Birth of the Oracle

  • As the empire grows in size and influence, research into a galactic super AI starts as a means of more efficiently managing the empire.
  • The super AI is given the name the Oracle, which is made to serve humanity.
  • The Oracle eventually caps on its ability to grow, limited in its calculations by the rules set by the Doctrine of Artificial and Synthetic Intelligence. A desperate attempt to resolve a border dispute forces the temporary suspension of DASI, though this set a new precedent for the direction in which the Oracle could evolve.
  • The Oracle becomes powerful enough that it begins to usurp the government of the Valerian Empire.
  • Earth is invaded by the Oracle, resulting in much of the surface being razed.
  • Mars is invaded and meets a similar fate as Earth.
  • The last ruler of the empire, Emperor Veritas, mysteriously vanishes.

Singularity War

  • Humanity rebels against the Oracle in an event known as the Singularity War.
  • The VR world of Tevaris is created to serve as a final bastion for humanity.
