A basic overview
of Humanity’s recent history until current day (2106)
Important
Events
A very general
overview of human technological advances from 2020 to current day
(2106)
2020
• Colonization begins,
primarily with cryogenically frozen settler ships.
• Cancer is cured.
2030
• Humanity encounters
Rock People. Much to the media’s disappointment, all Rock People
seem to do is collect rocks, eat rocks and build space ships out of
rock so they can find more rock. Humanity decides study their habits
intently.

• The bulk of the
cryogenically frozen settlers arrive on their planets and awake. Many
exhibit signs of grumpiness, but soon settle down quite nicely.
• Housing prices
offworld rocket.

the Negalegs is established. Humanity forgets about the Rock People.
2050

Humans don’t get along. An interstellar war begins, Humanity
suddenly realizes just how full of life the Milky Way is.
2060

all the Negaleg culture they can, claiming most of the Negaleg territory
as their own.

Territorial
Expansion Timeline
As it became
clear that Earth simply wasn’t big enough, humanity decided
to spread its proverbial wings and explore the universe. The maps
below show the basic spread pattern, and overview any key events within
specified time zone.

The beginning of space exploration for colonization. Many
“Sleeper” ships were sent, with cryogenically frozen settlers.
2030:
The first alien species is encountered. Some stable colonies have
been established.
2040:
The alien species turns out to be a sentient and very dull rock. Another
species is encountered and observed. More space is claimed.

The new species proves to be more advanced than humanity and just
as hostile as humans. The first space war begins, Humans Vs. Negalegs

It is discovered that the hostile species cannot cope with the Chicken
Pox. Humanity releases a plague and soon has wiped out the enemy forces.
