Timeline of the Alliance Republic:
2025: The question of are the Humans alone in the Galaxy in answered at last. The answer of no as humanity discovered a new species. But it was the Aliens who arrived on Earth and contacted Humanity. When they first arrived, there was worldwide panic that the Earth was about to be attacked by a much advanced species but quickly, the threat ended when the Aliens made peaceful contact with the Humans. These Aliens looked almost human only having blue skin and red eyes. They called themselves the Chiss and had arrived after discovering an old probe sent by humans during the Space Race. The Chiss were peaceful but saw that Humanity was heading into extinction due to overpopulation on one planet and so the Chiss decided to help the Humans advance their technology in order to expand into space to save their people from extinction.
2035: After 10 year, the Space Age is back and the humans finally manage to send the first man to Mars thanks to Chiss technology. Resources are sent towards Mars and the Humans and Chiss work together to help make Mars more liveable.
2040: Thanks to the Chiss, Mars' atmosphere develops to protect people from UV radiation from the sun and also allows humans to breath on Mars without space suits. Earth begins to send the first colonists to Mars.
2050: Mars begins to flourish thanks to the many colonists that arrive. Farming is made easy since Water begins to flow on Mars making the planet more like Earth. While the Planet still has its red colour, rivers flow all over Mars making the Colony an opportunity for people to live on.
2070: Humanity's population continues to get bigger and even Mars hasn't enough resources to sustain the population so humanity begins looking even further into the Solar System. Venus and Mercury are unfit for habitation as Venus' clouds are too much even for Chiss Technology and Mars is too close for the sun. But Energy stations are constructed in Mercury's orbit to generate Solar Power. Earth's Moon has a small colony develop but not as large as Mars and is more of a military outpost and Cargo port since there were no resources on the Moon. The other planets have more luck. The moons of Mars Phobos and Deimos are mineral rich and small mining colonies are established. On Saturn, the largest moon Titan is made habitable by Chiss technology and colonists start settling on the Moon and fuel production for ships becomes the main trade of Titan thanks to the Methane Lakes. The other moons of Saturn are used to help provide resources to Titan's colony.
2080: The moons of Jupiter start to be colonised with Callisto and Ganymede becoming Colonies while Europa becomes a major water production for fresh water to the colonies. Io has a scientific research base established to study the many volcanoes on the moon.
2100: Humanity had now expanded towards the edges of the Solar System with the settlers heading towards Uranus and Neptune. On Uranus, the moons of Ariel, Oberon and Titania become settlements while Neptune only has Triton as a settlement. The only planets in the Solar System not be touched are Pluto and Eris. In the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter, companies begin mining Asteroids while the dwarf planet Ceres become a major trading outpost for these companies.
2120: Despite having nearly 100 years of peaceful colonisation, soon settlers start to begin wanting to be their own government instead of being controlled by Earth. On Mars this leads to a far right group known as the Settlement Defence Front leading a military coup against the Governor of Mars and take military control of the planet. Earth begins to send warships and troops to retake control of the colony.
2122: After 2 years of fighting, the Charon Accords are signed and Mars becomes an independent power.
2130: Despite the hopes of the Charon Accords bringing peace, SDF becomes more ambitious and builds up its own army and fleet which panics Earth leaders who begin to establish a more firm control over their colonies. The Leaders of Earth unite to form one government and take better control of their colonies. But they are forced to give control of Uranus to the SDF to avoid war.
2132: Earth's public calls for war when word reaches them of SDF murdering colonists on Uranus and tensions rise when SDF take military control of Titan.
2134: Despite people wanting war, Earth decides not to risk all out war which could devastate humanity. However War starts when SDF launches a surprise attack on Earth which cripples Earth's fleet and takes control of the Moon. Several Ships survive the attack and fight back against SDF across the Solar System.
2135: The War ends with Earth's victory and the death of most of SDF leadership. The war leaves massive losses on humanity but the Chiss help them recover. The war makes it clear that humanity must be united now and so the government is reformed so all colonies elect someone to represent them. The Chiss now begin to help humanity develop hyperdrives which can take them towards other systems for habitation.
2137: War veteran Jon Grisson leads the first group of colonists towards the world outside the Solar System. They arrive at the Arcturus system and begin exploring the new system. They discover the Gas Giants are good sources for fuel towards the Hyperdrives. The colonists eventually settle on the Planet Benning which is a located Euler system not far from Arctutus.
2140: The Age of Exploration begins with funding from wealthy people from Earth to start exploring the Stars. Warnings from the Chiss make sure that the exploration vessels are defended by an escort but not too large so they don't provoke a war with any species that they discover. An important part of these talks were Protocol Droids that the Chiss had helped develop which could help translate different species' languages.
2143: A human exploration fleet makes first contact with a new species. On the planet known as Ryloth, they come into contact with a species known as the Twi'leks. These aliens were similar to the humans but had a range of different skin tones and prehensile appendages that sprout from the back of their head and went down their back. The Chiss and humans establish contact and begin to help them achieve space travel. Humans decided to help any pre-spaceflight species they could find in order to build up alliances.
2145: Another new species is discovered on the planet Shili known as the Togrutas who look just like the Twi'leks only they had multiple colours on one body rather than just one. These species were more advanced so helping them achieve spaceflight was quick.
2146: On the planet Miral, the near human species known as the Mirialans. These people are seen as near human since they look like humans and so they quickly achieve spaceflight.
2148: More colonists begin leaving the Solar System to settle on newly discovered Garden Worlds so the use of machines to make planets liveable is not used as much but the technology is kept safe in case it is needed. On Mars, a survey team in the South Pole discovers a small data cache which is discovered to have been from an Ancient Space faring species known as the Protheans which disappeared 50,000 years ago. They have some technology but it is considered inferior to what has already been created. But they soon discover something known as the Mass Relays which allowed the Protheans to travel across the Galaxy.
2149: One of these Mass Relays is discovered to be encased in ice at Pluto's moon Charon. This worries humanity as there is a gateway into their system. Governments vote to destroy it but the Chiss fear that because it contains so much energy, it could create a supernova. The Chiss are eventually able to harvest the energy contain in the Mass Relay on a fuel ship. The Relay is then destroyed and humanity decided to destroy any other relay then find in their territory.
2151: A group of scientists research the energy that was harvested from the relay but an accident during an experiment exposes many people in Singapore to dust form element known as Element Zero which is used as fuel for spaceships. The fuel doesn't work for large warships but was good enough to be used for fighters.
2152: With Humanities power expanding and new Colonies being formed, Humanity decided to construct a large space station in the Arcturus System to act as their alliance parliament. Each major colony would have a representative along with colonies founded by other aliens that were part of the Alliance such as the Twi'leks and Togrutas. Another new species discovered were the Rodians of the planet Rodia, a reptilian race with green skin or sometimes yellow. Their home planet was a swamp but they lived in domed cities, they jumped at the chance to find new homes and quickly became members of the Alliance so that they could find better places to live.
2154: A joint exploration mission discovers another species on the jungle planet Kashyyyk known as the Wookies. These aliens are full of hair and are expert warriors. However they were unable to speak any other language other than their own so Protocol Droids became important. The Wookies join the Alliance and become respected warriors among the Alliance races. Also, a second accident with Element Zero occurs during the harvesting of a Mass Relay exposing more people to Element Zero.
2156: Arcturus Station is complete and become the headquarters of the Alliance. Every home planet of the species along with major colonies has a seat in the Parliament. These Colonies included Benning, Eden Prime, Elysium, Horizon, Luna, Mars and Terra Nova along with the planet Kiros which was founded by the Togrutas. Many of the Colonies had mixed populations with a mixture of different species but there were many more colonies through the area that the Alliance controlled which were still quite small. Many of these smaller colonies were either just small mining colonies on Asteroids or gas mining on large Gas Giants which were too small to be important except for the raw material they extract. Others were farming colonies which had not grown yet like Eden Prime had done which was a large farming colony. Also, many children who had been exposed to element zero begin to develop telekinetic abilities but the Alliance has no idea how to help these people.
2157: A new species is discovered only this time it was the Aliens that discovered the humans and it did not go well. On one of the outer colonies of the Alliance known as Shanxi there was a Mass Relay that was being harvested then some kind of alien patrol fired on the ships destroying some and forcing the rest into retreat. Soon an Alien fleet arrived and attacked the colony. The small defence fleet managed to hold off as they had different technology to these Aliens but were still small in number and several troops transports managed to get alien troops down to the surface resulting in a Ground War starting. Eventually the Alliance Second Fleet arrived and defeated the Aliens and capturing a few. Interrogation of these Aliens reveals them to be known as the Turians and they had attacked since they were activating a dormant Mass Relay which was illegal to do according to them. These Turians were also building up for a full scale war but a galactic Government known as the Citadel stopped both sides from going to war.
2158: Representatives of both the Citadel Council and Alliance meet up to have talks with each other. The Alliance members learn about the many different species that exist throughout Citadel Space while the Council learns about the Alliance races. However tensions rise when the Alliance refuses to join the Citadel Council and there were 3 reasons for this.
1. The Alliance races did not want to allow the Citadel to control them.
2. The Alliance was unwilling to cut down their fleet which had grown in size to defend their territory.
3. The use of AI such as the Protocol Droid and Astromech droids which were considered to be illegal in Citadel Space.
However despite this, the Alliance and Citadel agree to trade technology since none of the Citadel Races had the hyper drives while the Citadel agreed to teach them about Biotics since some of the Alliance has begun to develop these powers.
2159: As part of the agreement between the Alliance and the Citadel, Turian and Asari teaches begin teaching Republic biotics how to control their powers but many of these teachers don't teach them much and are often very aggressive.
2160: The Alliance is renamed the Republic of Allied Species to show unity and every race is treated the same. Some of the Citadel races begin to travel to the Alliance to see these new worlds. This worries the Citadel Council since it seemed that some of the species on the Citadel were more attracted to the Republic than the Citadel. This new galactic government quickly makes contact with another species known as the Besalisks on the planet known as Ojom.
2161: With the Republic becoming a new galactic power base, they make contact with a group known as the Trade Federation based on the planet Neimodia and lead by the Neinodian people. These people once had an Embassy on the Citadel but after refusing to shut down their battledroids, they were exiled from Citadel Space. The Trade Federation becomes the main bankers of the Republic and controls a large amount of trade between colonies.
2163: The Republic discovers a new species on the Moon Pandora. This species is a tall humanoid species called the Na'vi, however this species doesn't want to advance since they are tied spiritually with their planet and so the Republic forbids any settlement or mining on the planet and only allows a small scientific research outpost to study Pandora's wildlife and they keep it small so they don't upset the Na'vi.
2165: The Republic continues to expand into unclaimed territories in the area known as the Skyllian Verge and begin to establish trade relationships with other species on the Citadel. In order to help maintain a relationship, a large embassy is granted to the Republic where every species have a small office since many species trade separately. The Citadel Races are also granted their own Embassies on Arcturus Station which is now the Republic's version of the Citadel. However tensions grow between the Republic races and one of the Citadel races known as the Batarians who believe the Skyllian verge is just theirs.
2166-69: Funding from Republic investors results in the discovery of three new species. The Zabrak from the planet Iridonia, the Iktotchi from the moon Ikotch and the Kel Dor from the planet Dorin.
2170: The first major crisis in Galactic peace happens. Batarian Slavers attack the Republic colony of Mindoir resulting in many colonists being captured or killed. The Republic demands the return of their colonists and while the Batarians deny involvement, Republic intelligence discovers messages between the Slavers and the Batarian leadership proving their involvement. The crisis sparks into clashes between the Batarian and Republic navies and nearly sparks into all out war. The Council eventually forces the Batarians to release the colonists but the treatment of these captured colonists angers the Republic and many of them don't see the Citadel as doing anything about the Batarians leading to strong anti-Citadel feelings in the Republic.
2171: In protest of the Citadel refusing to stop Republic Expansion, the Batarians close their embassy and become a rogue state. With the Batarians funding pirate raids onto Republic territory, more funding is directed towards defence and the defence fleet of many colonies are expanded to help deal with these pirate raids. At the same time, the Republic feels like the Citadel teachers are not helping with teaching biotics but an exploration team discover a single creature on the swamp planet Dagobah. The small green skinned creature knows a lot about biotic powers and begins teaching the Republic about biotic powers which he calls the force. The creature calls itself Yoda and becomes the grandmaster of a biotic order known as the Jedi. Many Biotics are taught by the Grandmaster and become wise advisors in the Republic.
2173: The amphibian species known as Mon Calamari are discovered on the planet Mon Cala along with the Quarrens. The two species were currently at war with each other but the Republic managed to bring peace between the two species and both join the Republic though several times war nearly sparks between the two races which bring fears that the Republic might be forced to choose which one to support.
2174: Batarian funded pirates attack the colony of Elysium starting the Skyllian Blitz but the attack is repelled and several Batarian officers are captured in the Battle. This time, the crisis begins the Verge War between the Batarians and Republic with attacks on colonies on both sides. On the joined human and Batarian colony of Anhur, rebels fight against the government which is pro slavery and the rebellion spreads throughout the Amun System.
2175: A surprise attack by the Batarians destroys the pride of the Republic fleet, the Dreadnought RSV Nick Reyes named after a war hero from the Settlement Defence Front War. The Nick Reyes puts up a big fight against a Batarian Dreadnought known as the Bria named after the moon where the Prothean ruins were discovered for the Batarians and manages to destroy several Batarian cruisers during the fight. But eventually, the Nick Reyes is destroyed with few surviving since the Batarians destroyed the escape pods as well. But instead of demoralizing the Republic like the Batarians hoped, the Republic sends out the powerful Seventh Fleet led by Chiss Admiral Thrawn to avenge the loss and the Bria is ambushed at a Batarian outpost and Thrawn destroys most of the fleet and destroys Batarian power in the area which cripples their ability to lead attacks on the Republic.
2177: The Republic Colony of Akuze vanishes and the team send to find them are attacked by creatures known as Thresher Maws which kill most of the team. Meanwhile on Pandora, a Batarian fleet attacks the moon resulting in the Republic sending a fleet to defend the primitive Na'vi. The fight ends with Pandora saved and relations between the Republic and Na'vi improve after saving them from enslavement. The Republic establishes a small military base on one of the other moons in the system in order to protect the Na'vi from future attacks.
2178: The Verge War ends with the Republic attacking the Slaver base on the moon of Torfan. The battle is long and bloody but the Slavers are defeated and the threat to Republic colonies is curtailed. The Republic and Batarians are still official at war with each other but the Batarian navy is crippled and soon several colonies led by a former Batarian military leader declaring independence from the Hegemony and declare the Batarian Commonwealth. The Hegemony is powerless to stop them and is forced to allow it. The Commonwealth signs a peace treaty with the Republic which secretly gives the Commonwealth supplies to help rebuild for fears of the Hegemony trying to take them over again. The Commonwealth declares Slavery outlawed in their territory. On Anhur, the abolitionist force wins and is left in power and starts to rebuild the colony.
2182: The Republic intelligence begins to investigate pro-human group known as Cerberus.
2183: In an attempt to build bridges between the Citadel and Republic, the Turians help the Alliance develop of an experiment stealth ship. Shortly after completion, the Republic Colony of Eden Prime uncovers a Prothean Beacon and both the Republic and Citadel jump at the chance to study it and the find is seen as a chance to improve relations between the 2 Galactic Governments.
Chapter End:
Notes: Well this is my timetable for my Mass Effect story which I have been planning. This story is a crossover with Star Wars by having Star Wars races as well as some Star Wars characters that we will see later on. 2009 Avatar is also in the story but will play a bigger role later on. The story of Call of Duty Infinity War is also part of this stories history. I will be having more Star Wars races in the story but they won't come along until the Mass Effect 2 storyline. This timeline is so that readers get an understanding of this story world but the next chapter will also provide more information on each race as well as the military as I will be using Star Wars military in this story as well. I also plan to give some of the Mass Effect Species such as the Salarians and the Batarians a bigger role since I didn't feel like they had a big enough role in the games so while the story will follow the Mass Effect storyline, there will be changes throughout the story
