All criticisms are welcome on my first fan fiction , hate to add what will probably be a bad fic to the halo star wars cross over but they are probably the only things that I can write a fic on . also it feels like I have a little thumb tack in the back of my mind saying do this or it will never go away . also I will slightly alter things in the halo universe and probably star wars universe

Timeline (we all hate them but it makes writing a back story very easy …. For me anyway) ps it might be a good idea to skip this chapter and get into the jucie bit , i know i would . and in all honesty this was more for me .
And of course star wars belongs to luces arts and halo to bungie/343/Microsoft
2491- project ORION is launched ( unofficial Spartan 1 project it produced commandos such as sergeant Avery Johnson )
2494 -the insurrection begins officially

2530 January- fortification of all inner colonies begins with a planned 30 odps (orbital defense platforms ) and 50 ships per colony , 90 – 150 ODP's along with 150 – 800 ships for militarily planets such as reach . all colonies in the sol system get 45 ODP's with earth reciveing 360 , 2800 ship defense force for the sol system
2530 November- UNSC starts to build land based M.A.C. guns after witnessing general Hogan successfully evacuate the 50,000 remaining colonists of Valhalla II by utilizing the land based mass driver to prevent the covenant ships from glassing the surrounding area with varying amounts of minefields

2535 April -the UNSC manages to capture a covenant cruiser and begins to examine the technology with the intentions of revers engineering the shielding and slip-space drives
2535 December,- Nicolas Able figures out how to make the holly rail gun theory work without burning out the rails of the rail gun. the Holly rail gun theory allows UNSC ships the hit with double the punch when combined with normal MAC gun components . ECM (electronic countermeasures) pods are developed , when running hot they can simulate the sensor readings of several ships or when running cold they can mostly hide the ships sensor profile assuming it is not standing out in the open. I.E. floating out in the middle of nowhere .
2536 January – the Spartan III project begins .
2536 May- the "plasma" missile is developed to assist in knocking down covenant shields and permeating the murder of covenant ships by archer missiles. EMC missiles are developed so that less of the very expensive plasma missiles are needed to pass through covenant anti-missile systems.

2536 October after seeing the denotation of nuclear bombs in close proximity to dissipate plasma torpedoes, scientists produce what is called EMP flack (better known as "plasma" flack by the rank and file) to dissipate plasma torpedoes
2537 July 27 – operation Prometheus is a success , but alpha company of the Spartan III program suffers 60 % causalities
2539 - covenant shielding technology is successfully reversed engineered, as well as their slip-space drives. The nuclear hollow point of MAC rounds make it opening debut to dismay, and deaths of 73 covenant ships. This kicks off the mass refit of UNSC ships that are not in action. the Refit included the addition of the holly rail gun system , shields , better slip-space drives and Plasma flack. A choice few ships were given ECM pods, advance electricity recapture tech enabling the ships to fire in 3 round burst a new type of battle plate that turned plasma into an explosion on impact, and a new reactor setup that permitted the modified cruisers to out run everything but frigates and to dish out wallowing amounts of pain to other ships.
2541- Rear Admiral Lauterbauck convinces ONI to stick ECM pods on the ten ODP's salvaged from Biarmaland . The ODP's are then transferred out to a system for an ambush of covenant forces . between the 10 ODP's The Mine field and the 70 UNSC ships in the engagement zone ,a covenant fleet of 200 ships was slaughtered .
2541-2548- UNSC Forces are slowly but steadily pushed back but at great cost to the covenant
2545 July – operation TORPEDO is a success ,75% of beta company manages to disengages and jump off the cliff into the water before the facilities plasma core goes critical .

2548 July- the NOVA bomb makes its first appearance on the battle field by destroying a fleet of 100 covenant ships . over the next 3 months several ONI prowlers utilize theses bombs to destroy covenant planets
2550- the UNSC develops a method to jam slip-space jumps forcing the covenant have to come into a system at sub-light speed through a variety of traps and ambushed . The slip-space jammer is immediately utilized to defend Earth , vitally important military systems Such as reach, and the last of the fortified outer colonies Caernarvon
2551 January - the three admirals rally at Caernarvon ,the last remaining fortified colony with 458 ships total. the next month Caernarvon falls but at the horrendous cost of 1031 of the convents ship's
2551 March- the covenant begin to attack the inner colonies, however are reluctant to do so due to the loses at Caernarvon.

2552 November 17th- the first battle for earth begins when Regrets relic hunting fleet jumps in really close to earth when the slip-space jammer is down . Regret managed to get planet side and sends out a call for help but sadly for him the slip-space jammer from reach is brought in and turned on, forcing his rescue team to run the gauntlet of ODP's , mine fields , and the combined fleets of earth , reach , and several other inner colonies . This fleet numbered 3200 and massacred the rescue force of a comparatively tiny 1000 ship force. Regret gives the location of the second halo(he does not tell the UNSC that ) so that the UNSC won't kill him. Curious as to what it is the UNSC dispatches a battle group to see what is there.

2552 December- Truth throws everything and the kitchen sink at earth and manages to get past the defenses of the Sol system. then he activates the Voi portal and goes to the ark. The flood on high charity follow through, the UNSC attempted to stop them but they lack the ordinance to destroy high charity. The northern part of Africa suffers more environmental trauma due to glassing (no worries it's all just barren desert right? no offense to the people who live there) (Input rest of halo 3 events say Johnson dying), Master chief says to watch sparky as he will probably be very over protective of his new ring. Johnson along with the arbiter mange to return to earth.

2567/21 BBY April – the Mk2 ODP is developed , capable of propelling a 3000 ton projectile at 50% the speed of light with a rate of fire of 1 shot every 5 seconds . The fighter orbital platform(FOP) enters service to defend the ODP's from boarding ships that were first used to get past ODP's and there already maddening point defense system.
2567 / 21 BBY December – a venentor class star destroyer fly's into UNSC space searching for the C.I.S. vessel that at one point was on the edge of UNSC space.

Suggestion for Ship names, planet names and system names would be very helpful maybe news stations as well (I still need a list of some 700 plants , I would like to not use the same place twice, and of course lots of ship names )
And sorry about this getting a bit lengthy
Also depending on how hated or liked this fanfiction is I may write a few fic's about some of the major events on this timeline.
AND IF SO MUCH AS A SINGLE GRAMMAR NAZI SAYS ANYTHING ABOUT MY GRAMMAR YOU WILL BE PUNSHED BY BEING MY BETA READER AND HAVE TO FIX ALL OF MY SPELLING AND GRAMMAR ERRORS
Which will be very painful because I had a good 700 or so such mistakes in this so forget about the 10000 word chapters … if I write them.
but misspellings are OK so long as you do not give me more than 5 misspellings I know i misspelled a few words but they are to the point that office word can figure out what i mean. and please point them out in the review so i dont get 50 million ( to high ?) reviews or PM's saying i misspelled something
And then by the order of Bobby Phil I will find the next grammar Nazi and I will insert threat that is really mentally traumatizing or painful to you you jk but please no comments on grammar I know it is terrible but A I don't care and B I hate grammar, there is no logic to grammar until you know the rules of grammar which unless it's a foreign language teachers run over and ignore completely . Truth be told I have learned more grammar from my Spanish class that my lit , English and language arts classes which is sad because Spanish is not an English class
Well I guess I will be going now
Bye or maybe no
Oh dam it I can't keep typing in smaller font until you can't see it, dam you Microsoft office word oh and the shrinking text go removed when i put this on fanficton
