Spoiler (click to show/hide)
01.01.2200
Retired admiral Rudolf von Goldenbaum reforms the United Earth into Galactic Empire, and he is proclaimed Kaiser; his eldest daughter Brünhild is made Kronprizessin and heiress to the throne.
About the same week, the Hyperlane Jump Theory is proven in practice by successful launch of an unmanned probe through Sol-Procyon Hyperlane.
10.04.2200
Science vessel 'Botanik' under command of Christine Bufholtz enters Procyon Starzone, further cementing the capabilities of newly created Hyperdrives.
Another science vessel 'Gelehrte' is dispatched towards Barnard's Star, captained by Hildegard Stekkel, Head of Physics Research Division. She is replaced on that post by Elizabeth Vandenberg.
08.04.2201
A report sent to the Imperial Capital of Odin puts many minds at unease; it seems that Humanity might encounter threats to its superiority of the galaxy.
Although only ruins at best, the existence of 'aliens' will probably soon be confirmed.
17.06.2201
By the edict of Kaiser Rudolf, a new strata of the Empire is created, that of 'nobility', consisting of many of Rudolf's supporters from the old government.
Elaborate palaces and mansions are slated for construction all around the capital planet.
11.01.2202
Reports from Sirius and Procyon survey teams are seen as proof of a strange new aerosol particle, 'Zro' to be present in certain quantities.
While the Sirius Zro is freeform dust, the samples of Procyon Zro were found in ancient ruins, only partially resembling those found earlier.
28.03.2202
The first extrasolar outpost is built at Barnard's Star.
It will be dedicated for gathering of solar energy for the use by citizens of Galactic Empire, and the first mark toward the Humanity's Rightful Place in the Stars.
11.09.2204
After Procyon station comes online, Emperor Rudolf announces the establishment of new Domination traditions of the Imperial Government.
This is done to expedite the development of planets and increase efficiency of Human population, of course.
16.05.2205
What was always a point of discussion has been finally resolved; Proxima Centauri b is not a habitable planet.
But maybe, one day, Human scientists and engineers could change that.
20.03.2207
A report sent by the crew of science vessel Gelehrte is categorized 'Top Secret' at this day.
Under Information Protection Law, it would take 25 years until general populace would be informed that advanced spacefaring vessels by long-dead aliens were found.
01.06.2209
To ensure that revolutionary and reactive elements are rooted out, Emperor Rudolf proclaims creation of Judgement Corps.
Next day, the Information Quarantine Edict is passed by the Imperial government, further boosting internal security of the Empire.
27.01.2210
A massive xeno structural ruin is found orbiting one of the planets within Raxum system.
Unlike the solar sailer, this is too big of a find to be contained, and the news quickly spread from governmental and science comms channels to civilian ones.
24.02.2211
An announcement about discovery of interstellar traveling 'whales' raises much interest amongst the scholarly circles.
First, an Imperial envoy, Horst Schmude, is assigned to the project of finding out if these space animals have any sort of language or form of communication.
24.05.2212
The discovery of the the 'whale' nesting grounds within Tiyana Vek system has thrown out several astrophysical theories out of the window.
Emperor Rudolf has been reportedly musing whether these whales would be useful for anything or should they be ignored as nothing more than as 'fish in the ocean'.
01.12.2212
The final report on the 'Tiyanki' as the Head of Society Research Department, Eugen Saucken, has called them, is delivered to the Kaiser.
They are truly space whales. It has been decided that they are to be left alone.
01.01.2213
The Proclamation of Humanity's Unification also introduces new intricacies of Imperial Government, namely the establishment of political factions.
Unlike the divisive and chaotic United Earth Parliament, these factions exist only to strengthen the power of the legitimate Imperial Government.
10.11.2213
Workplace Motivator System is yet another of bright edicts proclaimed by Rudolf von Goldenbaum.
01.01.2216
A little over two years later, the usual 8-hour shift system is replaced by one that extends it to 10.
This ensures that the workers of the Galactic Empire give it all!
02.07.2216
Another clandestine report about discovery of long-lost play being transmitted is send to Odin Starzone.
Imperial engineers and linguists were put onto double-shifts to find out what all this means.
24.12.2217
The discovery of the Tiyanki Matriarch in Bera system has been made confidential on the very same day of the report's arrival at Odin, during the celebrations of Jule.
Entrance to the Bera system has been promptly restricted to all but Imperial Observer vessels, the penalty punishable by execution.
06.08.2218
The inauguration of 'Neue Sanssouci', the Imperial Palace of Goldenbaum Dynastic Court, marks the introduction of Imperius Architecture style.
In this style, governmental and aristocratic buildings are made bigger and taller than those belonging to lower classes.
13.02.2219
The first Starport of Imperial Navy was to be made in Raxum Starzone.
It is strategically placed where quite a few merchant enterprises are operating, and their taxation requires proper Starbase installations.
The 1st Fleet, under command of Admiral Günther Drewentz has been reinforced and then split into smaller unit, which will navigate the Sol-Efoll-Rubiz-Raxum route to ensure that piracy is suppressed.
The newly created 1st Imperial Patrol was put into capable hands of Admiral Clementz von Silberberch, Drewent's colleague and polar opposite to his cautious approach to combat.
01.01.2220
On 1st January 2220, Kaiser Rudolf von Goldenbaum celebrates his 20th anniversary (and, incidentally, his 50th birthday) as the ruler of Galactic Empire, which now boasts ownership of 13 Starzones.
In a speech broadcast to Imperial populace, the Kaiser congratulated Humanity on their ability to follow him.
He also promised that by the end of the next decade, Human colonists would make their way onto habitable planets in Sirius and Alpha Centauri at the very least.
