2028 A.D.N.E. (Neu Era) Timeline
- The Cascadium and Waypoint Systems are placed by whatever mechanisms were triggered by the gate transit within the shared periphery zone, with Waypoint being exactly where it was pre-event and Cascadium being displaced roughly thirty light-years away from both Waypoint and any other inhabited systems.
- Both systems reestablish gate travel and soon establish that not only are the systems around them roughly eight hundred years out of sync with previous measurements but within two months discover the Sundala Starzone simply doesn't exist. Credence is given to theories that both involve the fate of the ancient Ozymandian and Quasi-Biological empires and that their fate may now be shared. Both systems begin the process of rearranging their economic and societal systems to the current situation.
- 1.45 million Erbians in the process of transiting from Waypoint to the United American Starzone as part of a similar program to what created the Helkam Diaspora begin the process of settling within the Cascadium system.
2029 A.D.N.E.
- First contact with the ADNE Era Vitari Commerce Federation is made via 'uptime' representatives who were among those caught in the Excursion Event. Misrepresenting themselves as a long lost group of colonists they discover that certain events from the ADSE timeline are still present, in this case the impending invasion of the Drecken System and the general Alliance indifference though some factions of the Edixi are apparently operating on and around the main habitable world of the system.
- The Shil'vati make their move with the arrival of an invasion fleet, two UAS fast attack stealth ships employ munitions coded to look like Alliance weapons and inflict enough losses with stand off munitions that the invasion attempt is abandoned.
- Small elements of the downtime VCF ruling council meet with their uptime counterparts and discuss further terms.
- An Edixi special operations outfit manages to reach out and make contact, meeting with their own uptime stranded counterparts and with them… a former United States Marine Sergeant who defected during the Raknos operation. He meets his uptime counterparts face to face and briefs them on the earth situation.
- Quasi aware from scattered and hacked Imperial communications and distinctly dreading the chance that Earth may exist in this timeline, a space action group is staged to get a stealth ship into where the Sol System should be.
- A month after the Sergeant's brief, the command group at Cascade has live imagery of an Imperial occupied earth. Another week later with full AI penetration of its networks they have the entirety of the situation from the invasion in 2019, to the occupation, to the death toll, to various estimated Interior viewpoints on the human question and various 'solutions'.
- A buried operation is discovered, known as 'Project Fair Weather', one that involves the capture and forced relocation of what the Imperial authorities considering disruptive or potentially dangerous individuals to the process of Imperial integration. Mostly consisting of military survivors, government workers who specialized in various intelligence operations, and later the more disruptive and capable of dissidents and insurgents. It is implied they are effectively black bagged and taken off world to various isolated potential human colony sites, mostly under the control of a high ranking interior agent with various supporters in the Imperial Navy and Marines.
