This is a timeline that I constructed, Starting at present-day Earth. There is a subtle War Commander reference. Enjoy :D!

21st century:

- A particle accelerator is built. Its ability to collide particles at near-light speeds create temperatures 1000x hotter than the surface of the sun.

2083 – NASA plans first unmanned probe mission (codename Operation Voyager) to outer space to utilize a new energy source using a compact particle accelerator (CPA). The probe reaches 20% the speed of light before being incinerated- even with the toughest material used.


22nd century:

2102 – Four new hull types are developed for the next test probe, plasteel, tritanium, iridium, and zynthium. Results proved to be exemplary. After several successful tests in a row, the first manned expedition to Mars to utilize more advanced CPA energy proves successful. The selected hull type was zynthium and the crew took off in 2115. The duration of the flight was about two minutes. A mobile ISS station is lanuched to space with a zynthium hull. It is outfitted with a CPA-core bridge, a Ship Lab, and a Tech Lab. No one notices a hidden Arms Lab...


2119 – NASA changes to the V.E.G.A. corporation. V.E.G.A. develops a mining laser, named the Pulse Laser MK. I. These are outfitted with the Voyager probes used in the successful tests. Having near-unlitimed resources due to outer-space mining expeditions, V.E.G.A. eventually takes total control of the government of planet Earth. Its first president was Dr. Van Kruger.

    Thanks for showing some support for this. I'm thinking of making a series of short stories based on this timeline and beyond, depending on where the actual game goes. I think it'll be quite interesting :D

    Very cool. You suckered me in with but a few short paragraphs. Very believable plot, I'm looking forward to the next chapter! :-)

    Awesome!! :) I'm headed there now. Like you, I imagine, I've got to come up with a storyline for all the games I play. Or they become mundane. I lack the ability to draft it in writing though. You've got talent bro! Please keep it up. :)

    Would you like to pass some of your ideas? If they're good, I'll try to incorporate what I already have (which isn't much because I'm a bit blank at the moment) into the third and final part of the timeline. Of course, it'll be my pleasure to give some credit

    excellent point, but there was simply too much made up lore I wanted to make up that there was no way it could fit in the span of a few short years

    Unfortunately guys, I was not planning to add a war between alliances. but between sectors, oh, that'll definitely be in it.
    And sorry it's taking so long for Part 3. I just finished finals and my nerves are shot. Give maybe a week or two while I recover :p

    i had a similar idea to this but it tied in battle pirates as well


    to give a summary: vega is a weapons manufacturer, blood amber falls to earth in a meteorite, they use it to make a super weapon but need more, they work to create more of it by infusing helium 3 with mineral ore and adding some of the amber in with it. instead it creates zynthium, they try using the new marerial to their advantage but it backfires and reacts with the helium 3 creating massive storms that flood the earth. vega becomes the draconians and searches for a way to produce more amber. they use their zynthium powered tech to try and take over the world but then the reavers come with their nuclear weapons, the radiation from their uranium tech reacts with zynthium creating a new more stable isotope of thorium thats also a really cool crystal. the draconians then use the water of the planet to make massive amounts of hydrogen and oxygen, they use a fusion reactor to turn the hydrogen into helium-3 and then use that to create a more powerful nuclear reactor to refine their zynthium into the new thorium isotope. this then causes waterlines to recede and eventully the world ocean dries up. everyones ships are now useless. so the draconians call "truce" with the forsaken and create the new vega, however many of the forsaken chose to go their own way creating rouge factions, most developing into one form of cult or another. one faction (i think it was vercraft but i havent been to earth in a long time) found locations where the draconians and reavers once fought, they were massive thorium deposits. this started a whole new set of massive wars. eventully the vega corperation managed to get spies into vercraft and stole the launch codes to their V2 missiles, after a quick refit to launch people into space they sent many miners out into the void. when the miners found this legendairy blood amber vega attacked the miners. (and started the star wars) the miners rebelled from vega and a whole new stage of chaos began


    and yes THAT is what i call a summary


    i suck at writing so i probably wont make mine unless i have to do some creative writing thing for school since its getting close to being over. i hope kixeye dosnt mind me writing a story about their games and using it for school
    it takes an anvil to make an anvil, begs the question where the first anvil came from

    How does NASA transform into VEGA ?
    NASA is part of USA it cant just turn into VEGA like that.....

    1) This is made-up lore
    2) The USA no longer funds NASA. They can be whatever they want it they wanted to. also, VEGA and NASA are both space-related
    3) The USA is very militaristic. its influence may change NASA

    So I'm not quite sure how I "can't" do that.
