Timeline of the Naorhy

Have you ever wondered how a writer keeps up with her/his races history?

We create a Timeline, like this one, that is added to as time passes.

All dates OTN, Of the Nakatallan. Nakatallan was a small asteroid that impacted the Naorhy planet, causing the destruction of all civilizations. History before this event is known only as Myth, archeological digs have discovered at least an iron age civilization, and tantalizing evidence of a beginning industrial age. Where the Naorhy race could be today, is unknowable. But we can dream.

 0000: Asteroid Nakatallan impacts near Horewea Island in the Nes Ocean, wiping out civilizations
            equal to at least Earth in 43 BC. Resulting plague eliminates most populations. Due to the plagues
            actions of converting all blood cells to a pale liquid it is named "The White Plague." 'GWP' for short.

0173: Oleian Clans begin conquests, beginning of the Oleian Empire & the first recorded Bronze  Age
            Civilization.

1932: Final fall of Oleian Empire caused by the second White Plague.

2358: Southern Alliance formed, begins systematic elimination of all females who do not bear males
            by age twenty. Average female intelligence slowly begins to decline. Before this, female's
            tended to have equal or a bit higher intelligence than males as proved from recovered    
            writings of the time.

2900: Iron Working discovered, Southern Alliance begins conquering all other nations.

2731: Takall Seelsa Ironclaw forms the Empire of Light, considered to be the last major female leader until after
             6110. Empire of Light becomes the first semi-Democratic Nation.

2812: First Lighter than Air flight occurs.

2824: First passenger flight by Lighter than Air ship.

2831: Industry is discovered.

2838: First Industrial Revolution.

2842: Empire of Light begins intercontinental flights to the Forlean Monarchy and Keeshal Kingdoms.

2870: First world war begins as Empire of Light clashes with the Narell Confederacy when the Narell
            attack the Keeshal Kingdoms.

2872: First combat flight by a lighter than air craft.

2893: Narell Confederacy falls, First World War ends.

2944: Empire of Light as well as three quarters of all civilizations destroyed by the fourth GWP.

3801: Founding of the White Church Alliance, espousing a return to the ancient pre-OTN Earth
                God's simple ways. This path slowly becomes very popular. Mainly by the systematic
                 'accidental deaths' of anyone who speaks openly against it.

3812: Last known lighter than air flight until 5103, K.D. Terrace, a heavy freight dirigible, believed destroyed by
            thunderstorm over water. All hands and their families are lost.

3913: Fillnarian Republic founded by anti-technology cult. Begins systematic destruction of all
                technology above Bronze Age.

3918: Meteor impact in sea destroys capital of Fillnarian Republic and causes minor ice age.

3929: Last Fillnarian outpost falls to barbarian attackers.

4010: Death of Elat O'holish, a hermit scholar and popularly considered the last female to be born
            with an IQ of over 100 until the Genetics Program of 6110.

4691: Second Industrial age begins, beginning of the industrial revolution.

5106: Fourth World War begins, reputedly started over river rights between three medium sized nations.

5107: Return to manned aircraft flight, first heavier than air craft.

5110: First Combat (heavier than air) aircraft mission.

5173: End of the Fourth World War, over seventy million people die, all three original nations ceased
            to exist.

5962: Fifth World War begins.

5966: White plague begins and is defeated by modern medicine.

5969: First atomic bomb tested.

5969: Proof is discovered that the First White Church is responsible for the White Plague, all
               leaders ordered killed and the religion banned as a crime against the race. All FWC
               material and artifacts are dumped into the seas or burned. Fifth World War continues,
               but as an almost forgotten event as all nations band together to destroy the FWC.

5973: First Hydrogen bomb tested, on the site of the FWC's last major resistance stronghold.

5981: Final treaties signed ending the almost forgotten Fifth World War.

6012: Last conclave of FWC leaders flushed out, supplies of the White Plague is found with them in the form of
             'carriers.' A specially bred clan with resistance, who's members were sent to 'dangerous lands' when
             the FWC felt threatened. All known infected members were eradicated, some un-infected members are
             kept for 'research' purposes.

6013: Research is started with the goal of destroying the White Plague.

6110: Beginning of the Genetics Program, with the goal of returning some intelligence to females of
            the race. Historical attitudes (started in 2358) had lowered the average 'IQ' to 50.

6116: Introduction of the first experimental genetic 'bullet' proves more successful than expected.

6122: Genetic Modification of the race begins on a mass scale. Early results show that, although female
             children are a bit more aggressive than their male counterparts, their 'IQ' has risen to near normal
             levels.

6133: Women begin taking government positions and the educational system.

6143: Beginning of the Space Race

6147: First serious concerns of the low male birthrate are expressed.

6155: First man lands on inner moon.

6156: Backlash riots against the original genetic program occur. Riots are quickly ended by the
              simply precedent of shooting anyone who joins the mobs.

6161: Three Colonies on the two moons

6162: Women now outnumber men seven to one and begin taking over all dangerous work areas, as
            well as most high level political positions (mostly due to the lack of qualified males to fill
            such positions.)

6163: Hydrogen missile bases established on both moons

6163: Three Nation Conference called

6175: Three Nation Conference concludes

6176: Compact accepted by all nations after several holdouts are systematically eliminated by having
            huge stones dropped on their capitals from orbit, among other nasty things.

6177: Beginning of population reduction

6184: End of first phase of population reduction, males regulated to 'safe occupations.' Males are
            now outnumbered over 100 to one with no end in sight. Second Genetics Program
            started to attempt to determine 'how bad it will get.'

6186: Beginning of interplanetary colonization. Last known members of the 'WP Clan' at research stations died.
             Research shows even a single strand of the GWP will infect, and grow rapidly within this clans blood

            without harming the carrier.

6189: FTL Equations completed.

6202: Men legislated out of space except under strict conditions. Genetics research prove out that
            the population should stabilize at around 20,000 females born for every male. Massive
            programs are begun to deal with this socially, religiously, legally & scientifically. The
            celibate lifestyle is forbidden all males of reproductive age.

6205: End of final phase of population reduction

6224: First prototype FTL Drive built.

6239: First FTL ships begin construction

6241: Alien communications detected. Extended marriages made legal. Males remain 'head of the
            Clan'. Kidnaping of males is, for a few years, a major legal problem.

6242: First Military ships designed.

6229: ODC actions first uncovered, actions began against this criminal group.

6229: HARDSHELL, a Monitor design, submitted, one built then immediately mothballed.

6232: Beginning of Interstellar expansion

6234: Planet FURHOLD discovered.

6235: Scout Craft BRIGHTWING ceases contact.

6237: News of FURHOLD first reaches Naorhy.

6238: First SPECTRA Police ship built.

6242: ESHALIC survey scout design submitted.

6242: First (public) lightspeed signals discovered proving existence of other intelligent life.
                      HARDSHELL re-commissioned, updated then sent to FURHOLD.

6244: Breakup of FLEET COMMAND to STATION, FLEET, and SURVEY organizations occur.

6246: Race stabilizes at near projected 20,000 to one level (actually 18643 - 1).

6247: Faster than light communications discovered. Multiple FTL communications from other
                  intelligent races immediately detected.

6248: Small outbreak of the GWP is tracked down to a tiny family of 'WP Clan' members living on a remote
             island. All members executed. (WP Clan members are easily discovered by their unique AL negative
             blood type.)

6251: All ships complete conversion to FTL communications systems.

6252: Physical proof is discovered in the second asteroid belt that the Nakatallan event, as well as
            the GWP were manufactured events. An abandoned base is accidently discovered by belt
            miners. Although what race it was is unknown, there are enough clues that should the
            race be discovered they will be known. And dealt with.

6256: DIAMOND 23 events occur.

6259: GLASS PANELS events occur.

6260: FIREWAND events occur.

6265: HER LAST BATTLE events occur.

6283: Nola Copperheart’s ship begins its long lonely trek to another galaxy.
