Timeline of The Galaxy: Forward
Forward: Galactic history is a tricky business. It’s believed that around half of the civilizations that have ever existed in our
galaxy left no trace behind for us to detect, usually because their planets were completely destroyed. There are three major
historical traditions- which all generally agree after 10,ooo BC or so- the galactic archaeology of the Starfathers (shown in
green), the oral tradition of the Nightskalds (shown in blue), and the particle-scrying of the Quelvala (shown in red). Shown in
black are events from other (usually human) studies of the past, or for which all three major traditions agree.
