The Moon Landings (1947 - 1990)

  • In 1963 the Russians landed the Soyuz III Lunar Module landed on the Moon, and Yuri Gagarin became the first man on the moon.
  • In 1972 the Germans constructed a Moon Base on Luna.
  • in 1990 the Germans launched a Mars explorer from the Moon, and established a Mars base in 1997.


A Base On Mars (1990 - 2038)

  • The Russians did not develop their Moon programme, choosing instead to shoot for Mars. They established the small Mars Colony Voskhod, where the Treaty of Voskhod was signed in 2006.
  • In 2006 under the Treaty of Voskhod, Grossdeutschland and the USSR agreed to co-operate on the terraforming of Mars. *In 2011 large scale terraforming begins on Mars
  • In 2023 terraforming of Mars completes sufficiently to allow a man to breath the atmosphere unaided for short periods of time.
  • In 2027 most released species have begun to adapt to life on their new home
  • In 2030 both Russian and German nations begin large scale population relocation to Mars.


The Asteroid Belt and The Moons of the gas giants (2038 - 2118)

  • In 2038 the British lay claim the largest asteriod in the belt (anyone know which one it is?)
  • By 2045 all space faring nations have established outposts on at least one asteroid
  • By 2060 the four major powers have large shipyards in the asteroid belt
  • By 2090 small colonies are scattered amongst the moons of the gas giants

Extrasolar excursions (2118 to present day)

  • Migration Crises of the 2120s
  • In 2127 the UISA sent an Ark Ship to New Iowa in the Griffin system.
  • In 2129, after the death of King William IV, a particularly young George VII ascended to the throne.
  • In 2132 the new reformed British Empire begin construction of two gigantic Ark Ships, the Boadicea and the Arthur
  • In 2133 the Research Bureau of the Commissariat of Space Exploration (later to become the Commissariat of Extrasolar Exploration) created the first functioning wormhole using a primitive Krasnikov generator.
  • In 2134 the Arthur is launched to Hydra, the Boadicea to Griffin.
  • In 2135 the first unmanned probe was sent through a wormhole to the Hydra system by the Russians.
  • In 2138 the Russians are the first to produce a functional manned faster than light ship, its design is strongly reminiscent of early German plans for their FTL capable ship.
  • In 2141 the Germans produce their first faster than light ship.
  • By 2142 all major space faring nations have faster than light ships.
  • In 2142 George VII dies and Victoria II ascends to the throne at the age of 21. She fast-tracks the construction of her father's FTL colony ship, and launches it in 2143 for Hydra.
  • in 2144 the USSR sent the first armed FTL ship, the Alexander Nevsky, to the Chimera System to claim the planet that would become known as New Ukraine.
  • In 2147 the UISA sent the then-largest FTL ship, the USSS Essex, to colonise New Iowa.
  • In 2149 the Germans sent a small FTL ship to New Iowa in the Griffin system.
  • In 2151 the Alexander Nevsky saw off the German colony ship Seevogel. The Seevogel limped to the second habitable planet in the system, which was to become New Rhineland.
  • In 2151, the Battle of New Ukraine cemented the status quo in the Chimera system.
  • In 2152 the USSR won the Battle of New Ukraine.
  • In 2190 The SS Wissenschaftkorps under the leadership of Generalleutnant-Doktor der Waffen-SS Hans Reichman finally cracked the last few elements of the DNA double helix.
  • In 2199 the Treaty of New Iowa was signed banning all custom-built genetic code.
  • In 2227 Victoria II dies, succeeded by George VIII.
  • IN 2232 the Treaty of Io was revised banning any form of Gene weapon.
  • In 2347, the Sixth Republic of France announces its entry into the cosmos, by unveiling the colony of Cousteau, 5,600 meters beneath the waves of Callisto.
