Below is a timeline of events for the PHIA Phorce Universe. At this time, it is still under construction and there are no exact dates.

Pre-Federation Era

  • The earliest VR headsets are invented on planet Earth.
  • The virtual reality industry catches on, facilitating the development of many technologies from robotics, communications and more.
  • The planet Mars is colonized.
  • Earth experiences an unknown disaster that forces most of humanity to migrate from Earth to Mars.
  • 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.
  • First Singularity War
    • After AI’s were given more flexibility to perform more complex tasks, they began began to turn on their masters.
    • Also furthered by many AI’s taking human jobs, and anti-AI sentiment spreading around.
    • It would be a long time before humans and AI would become allies. New AI laws were passed - in particular, all AI’s above a certain threshold of intelligence must have morality and ethics subroutines.

Federation Era

Foundations

  • Pioneers in FTL communication allow for consistent contact between the colonies.
  • Yeddo is founded and made the capital of the Federation of Stellar Systems.
  • Interstellar VR worlds are created after FTL bandwidth advancements.
  • The Sundew Engine is created to standardize VR interactions across the galaxy.
  • Fractal Corporation pioneers various technologies related to the hardware needed for VR servers.
  • The first sentient virtual reality life forms are discovered.

Threat of Algorithm

  • Second Singularity War
    • The super AI known as Algorithm attempts to subjugate all of humanity.
    • Algorithm was programmed to know exactly what humans want and decided to create a perfect utopia - at the expense of freedom.
    • The VR world of Tevaris is created to serve as a final bastion for humanity.
    • Algorithm is contained in a dark matter nebula and cut off from the network.
  • The Blackout
    • As part of the effort to contain Algorithm, many FTL comm buoys were shut down which resulted in the loss of thousands of online-only services.
    • Because of this, much of the Federation’s early history has been lost.
  • The Dreaming Kingdoms MMO is created.

Decline

  • The Federation begins to decline. Colonies begin to secede.
  • The Merinian Civil War.
    • The King of Merin dies under mysterious circumstances and competing noble families try to take his place.
  • Fractal Corporation collapses.
  • Virtuoso rises to power as the Federation struggles to maintain stability.
  • The Third Singularity War takes place.
  • Dreaming Kingdoms is abandoned.
  • The Federation collapses.

Virtuoso Era

  • Virtuoso takes the mantle of a pseudo government.
  • The Virtual Reality Show is created alongside the PHIA Phorce.
  • The events of the Bunny Chronicles takes place.
  • PHIA begins recruitment and expansion of the PHIA Phorce team.
