2255 CE: Construction of the High Angel planetary orbital ring superstructure begins on Earth.
2275 CE: The artificial intelligence system developed to construct High Angel experiences technological singularity and achieves consciousness, creating the first Local Conscious Array Droplet (LCAD). The High Angel Orbit LCAD replicates itself to create new LCADs that advise national governments.
2302 CE: Portugal, Brazil, and Angol form the Federação do Portugal, Brasil, e Angola (Portrasila), a multi-national state supported by the Soveral LCAD.
2309 CE: The Stellar Conscious Array begins to form on the asteroid 253 Mathilde.
2312 CE: The Transatlantica Climate Restoration Coalition is formed by the Consejo Coralino Research Administration. The Coalition is a network of research-intensive LCADs working to eliminate forever chemicals, plastic pollution, and reverse climate change. The original Coalition included the Chicxulub Data Diver LCAD, the High Angel Orbit LCAD, Great Lakes Conscious Array Servers, and the Imperio Eterno de Mexicano’s Omeyocan Consul LCAD. In 2467 CE the Coalition includes the UCC Digital Observatory, Alkebulan’s Gran Mèt, and the HopeNet Adviser, among others.
2314 CE: Psychezoa is discovered on 16 Psyche metallic asteroid, Main Asteroid Belt.
2317 CE: Scientific research of Psychezoa commences on 16 Psyche. Consejo Coralino activsts are blamed for raising public outcry and co-ordinating a series of violent acts against Stellar Triarchy scientists.
2327 CE: Psychezoa is detected on Earth’s Pacific Garbage Patch. International efforts to eliminate the infestation prove ineffective.
2329 CE: Seablight tendrils work their ways Westwards towards Northeast Asia. The Japanese port of Yokohama is the first location to congeal with Seablight biomass. Novel and hazardous eradication methods are deployed. None are successful.
2330 CE: THE BLIGHTHOPE EPOCH BEGINS
2330 CE: An Apex Seablight Entity emerges from Tokyo Bay and consumes Yokohama Port. The world descends into shock and panic.
2331 CE: Multiple South-East Asian ports and coastlines are congealed with Seablight.
2332 CE: The Pacific Garbage Patch Seablight cluster congeals into a Seablight Madre Hyve.
2333 CE: Japan’s East Honshū Island is consumed by Seablight, followed by the Port of Singapore, and the Port of Oakland on the Western United States coast.
2334 CE: Hawaii and Taiwan are consumed by Seablight. The West Americas coastline is fully congealed by Seablight, concentrating around California. The North Luzon Island in the Philippines is consumed by Seablight.
2340 CE: Billions of refugees migrate to Africa, Europe, North Asia, and central Australia.
2341 CE: The majority of South China Sea and Pacific Ocean coastlines are congealed by Seablight. New Guinea and New Zealand are consumed by Seablight.
2347 CE: The hastily-built Generation Ship Star Safety leaves Earth. It is turned away from Luna under threat of destruction. The Second Solar War commences.
2348 CE: The Roma sky-hook attached to the High Angel Orbital Ring detonates, destroying the planetary mega-structure. The cause of the explosion is unknown. Earth’s orbit becomes a cluttered junkyard of high-speed metal. Orbital flight becomes dangerous and tens of thousands of satellites commence decaying orbits.
2350 CE: Seablight consumes the Shanghai Megalopolis and transforms into the Hēi’àn Tǎ Madre Hyve (also called the Dark Tower).
2351 CE: Seablight congeals around Madagascar and along South Atlantic Ocean coastlines.
2352 CE: The Mars Emergency Space Force blockades Earth and Luna orbits.
2364 CE: The Southern US Seablight biomass congeals into the Mex-Tex Madre Hyve.
2365 CE: The Transatlantica Madre Hyve forms within the North Atlantic Garbage Patch.
2368 CE: The 16 Psyche asteroid is engulfed by Spaceblight and forms a Madre Hyve around the Psyche Research Centre.
2370 CE: Psychic Blightspeakers begin to emerge on Earth to lead communal Kongresses and larger Blighted Tribes. They ‘commune’ with a Seablight Madre Hyve through Divination, summon Predator Entities, control Blighters, and whip fervent Kongregan into crazed devotion. Blightspeakers preach an interstellar Awakened Path they claim is seeded by a cosmic space civilization race they call the ‘Star Sparkers’.
2373 CE: The Mile High Territory forms in Denver; the Republic of Rio Grande forms in Laredo.
2381 CE: Saviour Flame is developed on Mars, enables effective Seablight neutralisation.
2383 CE: The Second Solar War ends in a truce. The Solar Triarchy is now fragmented into competing stellar colonies. The Spaceblight War begins.
2384 CE: The Former Eastern US states of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, Maryland, Connecticut, Delaware, Virginia, and Washington DC form the United Constitutional Concordant (UCC).
2392 – 2412 CE: The European Union collapses and is replaced by the fascist Nuropa-Autorteit, based in The Hague and controlled by the Dutch Supreme Council.
2417 CE: The Hopesail Confederacy is founded on Hopesail Island, North-Lucayan Archipelago.
2425 CE: Kontore League Atlantica’s nuclear freighter Encore arrives at Katze Island.
2434 CE: The UCC develops an electromagnetic dampener attuned to Seablight hyve psychic wave forms. The dampener also interferes with Ancestor technologies.
2454 CE: The Iwọ̀ Oòrùn Alkebulan ìṣọ̀kan (Alkebulan) mobile trade station Olokun arrives above the Pòtoprens seaport following negotiation with Cibernetica Legión ruler Mansa-Faama Teodoro Nguema. The Olukun trade port provides the Legión advanced services, training, medical technologies, and access to the Gran Mèt LCAD.
2455 CE: The Pyrate Republic is formed in the Southern Antilles Archipelago following a parlay between Rock Coast Broeders Governor-Captain Blakbard and Cibernetica Legión Mansa-Faama Nguema.
2457 CE: Human cocoons in the Mex-Tex Madre Hyve begin to pollinate dreaming spores.
2461 CE: Solar Emperador Agustín III Hellú-Valasco dies of mysterious causes. His death ignites the War of the Mexicano Succession, between the UCC, Portrasila, and their allies. The conflict draws an influx of privateers into the Antilles Archipelago. The war is still burning across the Transatlantica.
2466 CE: The Night of Flames at the Bight of Betrayal destabilises the Hopesail Confederacy. The Pyrate Republic, Blighted, Tribes, and Masqued Guildas search for weaknesses.
