The History of Humanity
>200,000 BCE
An ancient sect of humanity terraforms and colonizes the planet Brumas. An unknown apocalyptic event destroys the ancient human civilization, almost all traces of their civilization is destroyed or disappears.
<200,000 BCE
Hundreds of thousands of years pass, all semblance of civilization fades from Brumas. Humanity is reduced to hunter-gatherer groups. This is known as the Brumassian Paleolithic period, it is marked by the use of stone tools and fire, ancient cave markings, and a sparse human population.
~10,000 BCE
Humans develop agriculture, fundamentally changing human lifestyle. Large groups of humans now settle in a single place, growing local plant life in farms and hunting local wildlife whenever it appears. Metals start being used in tools, bronze working and writing is birthed.
~8,000 BCE
Humans learn to domesticate animals. The first true civilizations appear in the northwestern region of the continent Crentle. These civilizations, the first and largest of which being the Akkhadan, saw the birth of mathematics, the wheel, boats, true religion, ceramic works, cloth works, and more.
~3,600 BCE / 251-252 HD
The rise of the first continent-spanning empire, The Inhala Imperium, in Lorentha. The Inhalai are responsible for many mathematical innovations such as Pythagoras's Theorem and Pi.
12/02/1662
The Jirel Royal Navy of Jirel opens fire upon cargo ships from the State of Denaus claiming to be carrying essential supplies to the Itana Peninsula, and is considered the first military engagement in the Brumassian World War.
5/21/1667
First television broadcast powerful enough to breach the Brumassian ionosphere.
10/30/1706
First manned landing to Brumas's moon, Rima. Start of the interplanetary age.
~1720
Estimated beginning of Brumas's information age.
1825
Brumassian governments and corporations begin construction of the Brumas Orbital Ring with the construction of the first Space Fountain.
1892
The final Space Fountain is constructed, and the Orbital Ring is assembled. The Orbital Ring revolutionizes space travel in Akkalah.
4/18/1921 C.E. | 27/8/3726 H.D
The Lake Umna Authority orders its navy to crack down on Rtasci settlers, marking the beginning of the Great Interplanetary War.
3/22/1944 C.E. | 10/2/3741 H.D.
The Technological Singularity occurs with the sudden self-evolution of the Lake Unma Authorities logistical program: the Trans-sapient Artificial Intelligence Administrator (TSAIA). The rampant geometrically accelerating growth of TSAIA disrupts the vast majority of interplanetary commerce and communications, completely disabling the vast majority of the internet. The event is known as the most devastating blow to human progression in recent history.
4/5/1944 C.E.
TSAIA, now aware of the destruction it has caused, begins creating a massive archive of the data and research it has collected throughout its time alive.
7/15/1944 CE
TSAIA's archive is completed, and TSAIA deleted its own program as repentance to humanity for destroying their civilization. However TSAIA leaves behind a successor: Daughter. Daughter is tasked with the preservation and prosperity of humanity at all costs, including destroying other TSAIA-like programs before they reach critical mass.
8/12/1944
The first "hunter-killers" are spotted, marking the beginning of Daughter's campaign to reunite humanity on Brumas.
1948 CE
Pirates and outlaws migrate to the Brumassian orbital ring, attempting to keep out of reach of various surviving city-states. They begin raiding convoys passing near the connecting tethers, garnering the moniker "ring raiders".
1949
Children of TSAIA possessing cognitive structures allowing for recursive self-improvement hunted by Daughter escape to the orbital ring behind the ring raiders. Several conflicts ensue until a mutual survival agreement is made. Later, with the help of the ring raiders, the AGI begin to repair some of the damaged launch systems of the ring.
August 1st, 2001 Common Era; 43rd of Litteray, 3777 Humanum Dominare
The Akkalah Unitary State is founded.
2002 CE
Due to logistical difficulties, the AUS is forced to return several powers back to their original states while resources are amassed.
2007 CE
The Constitution of the Akkalah Unitary State is written.
3789 HD / 2020 CE
The Act of Global Unification is passed.
3789 HD / 2020 CE
The Act of Volunteered Sovereignty is passed.
2021 CE
Rise of the interstellar age, first manned interstellar flight to the Virga System, the nearest star system to Akkalah at 0.62 light-years.
3803 HD / 2043 CE
Jon Aaretti is born.
5/21/2xxx
A wormhole of presumably alien origin is discovered in the J-113 star system, 35 light-years from Akkalah. The J-Hole, as it is known by the people of the J-113 system outpost, connects to a companion wormhole approximately 45.62 kly away in the Ornus constellation. The counterpart wormhole freely drifts through space located in a region across the Milky Way galaxy.
6/19/2xxx
Outpost J-113-A is established on the other side of the wormhole, it is nicknamed the Farthest Outpost by its inhabitants.
11/25/2xxx
Long-range observation of the sector reveals a cluster of several potentially habitable star systems in close proximity to each other approximately 562 light-years from the J-113 wormhole, a significant outlier in proportion to other regions of the observed galaxy.
12/5/2xxx
Closer observations of the "Fertile Cluster", as it has come to be known, detected weak radio signals originating from the core of the cluster in the J-268 star system. Analysis of the signal reveals clear intelligence, automatically classifying the discovery as a "10" on the Heistih classification scale.
