I'm so happy to see such large and positive feedback for this story! Don't worry my dear readers, the chapters will be posted fairly soon.

So here's a bit of a timeline to help make sense of the people of earth's progress after the US government obtained Star Wars technology. I will try to make the dates/events as realistic as possible while still spicing it up with the Star Wars tech. Feel free to review if anything feels strange or off to you or if you would just like to give me advice.

As always, I own nothing, other than the OC's of my creation.

1947: After Roswell incident, all 'alien' technology was taken to the secret military base simply known as Area 51. The large tons of gold with strange writing is reprocessed into gold bars and increases the worth of the U.S dollar by 5% as a whole.

1959: After the 'Space Race' with Soviet Russia began, NASA engineers and scientists began experimenting with the hyperdrive equipment and engine capabilities for their planned space missions.

1963: The U.S army experiments with the powerful weaponry wielded by the alien pirates.

1969: First lunar landing mission is completed. The U.S claims territory over the moon, and plan to build a base on it.

1971: During last lunar mission, attached NASA probe is launched from the Apollo 17 and test a hyperdrive engine. The test is successful and the space program's budget is increased.

1972: Second probe with long range transponder is tested with a small and newly reengineered hyperdrive engine, and returns back to Earth in only twenty three hours. Plans with UN, NASA, and space programs of other countries join together and start forming the production of an international space station (ISS).

1974: Plans for a large shuttle-like vehicle constructed from the Saturn 5 rocket basis and that of the alien saucer are discussed with NASA and the Pentagon. Model designs are soon made and pre-production slowly starts.

1975: NASA's 'Constellation Program', receives sufficient funding from the U.S government and plan to send humans to Mars by 2020.

1978: The U.S and Israel agreed in a cooperative weapon called a THEL, or a tactical high energy laser, known as the Demonstrator. The THEL was shown to be able to shoot down artillery shells and rockets.

1979: The International Space Station (ISS) is constructed in space. But is slightly changed when NASA and the UN secretly attach a covered turbolaser on the station's outer hull that is labeled as an extra emergency docking sector for shuttles.

1980: First astronauts make their homes inside the international Space Station.

1981: UN and NASA send rovers aboard the planet Mars that include a special sample gathering kit and a remotely operated launch platform from previously sent rockets.

1982: The Lunar base is established by the UN and NASA. The U.S claims the moon as sovereign territory and are in general control of the base. The base consists of a high-powerful solar panel system that mostly power the base, which also includes an experimental shuttle launch site for easier launches for no air resistance from the Earth. Unknown to the rest of the world, an experimental THEL weapon turret was also placed onto the base.

1983: Production of airborne version of the THEL weapons are created. The Airborne Laser anti-ballistic missile and vehicle weapons systems are commissioned along with seven Boeing YAL-1's. Second International Space Station begins development. The U.S, Israel, and the UK develop MTHEL's (Mobile Thermal High Energy Laser), the vehicles number into three hundred.

1984: More samples of Mars' surface are tested and scientists around the world determine that colonization of the planet Mars is possible and could be achieved in a decade or of second International Space Station is completed, and separate parts are sent to the orbit of Mars.

1986: After Arab countries begin joining the UN space community, an Islamic terrorist organization known as Al Qaeda hijacked and took over the ISS. Thankfully, they were defeated when a Russian cosmonaut got hold of one of their guns and quickly dispatched the terrorist. Unfortunately, another Russian cosmonaut and an American astronaut were both killed during the struggle. After this event, security members aboard the ISS, the American Lunar base (ALB), and shuttle launches were permitted to carry small firearms.

1989: Private space organizations collaborate with the U.S air force in the creation of the world's first exospheric planes and fighter jets. The NGF-01 and the NGF-07 are "next generation fighter" jets that are capable of going in space outside the Earth's atmosphere. They are equipped with new HELLADS, another part of the new liquid laser weapons made by the U.S, and are shown to be capable of destroying large space debris. Reengineered alien engines provide better propulsion and space capabilities.

1994: The first Martian colony base is under construction on Earth and are planned to be sent to the second ISS that orbits Mars in short time.

1997: The U.S NGF-07's started larger production, which soon numbered in nearly two hundred fighters. Japan soon developed a similar styled fighter towards the end of the year, but couldn't figure out how to make it successful. The first Martian colony was finished being built and established. Using large biomes and greenhouse-like buildings for the storage of plants, equipment, food, and the fifty people that would live inside. Railgun technology is boosted and many prototypes were created by Russia, the U.S, the UK, and Japan.

Meanwhile, the clone wars come close to an end, a Separatist frigate accidentally crashes on Mars after a battle forces it to make a random jump. No longer able to cover up the alien presences, the UN formally declares that they are surely not alone. Immediately afterwards, the planet, and their colony of Mars, begin to prepare for possible war, as the surviving droids are shown to be hostile towards the salvage crew from the Mars colony. After small engagements, the astronauts on Mars discover vast amounts of droids that were either shut down or destroyed. The discovery boosts the technological capabilities the Earth has with robotics. The main droids that remained were reprogrammed and were mostly used for construction work on Mars. Droidekas and dwarf spider droids were sent back to Earth and were incorporated into the UN Earth Military. Hundreds of standard B1's and B2's were continued to be used on Mars for security and labor.

1998: On Mars, the colony grows into becoming a nearly two square mile sized base. Biodomes provide an air similar to Earth. The base has a shuttle launch site and dozens of solar panels for power. The crashed frigate helps the creation of the colony base's shield and defense turrets.

1999: The first UN Deep Exploration Vehicle, The Dragon, is finished with construction and lies in orbit of Mars. The ship is armed with the most powerful HELLADS laser ever built on its front. An additional set of two turbolasers from the frigate are placed for precaution. It is equipped with a powerful heat shield and a reengineered version of a deflector shield that is shown to be able to withstand a straight collision from an asteroid in simulations. The Martian colony is equipped with several turbolasers and HEL lasers. And four NGF-07's are positioned inside. The lunar base is equipped with the remaining laser turrets and several powerful missiles for defense. Two NGF-07's are placed inside the lunar base for emergency defense. The rest are stationed aboard the two ISS' and on Earth.

As these events occurred, as did the clone wars. And the Republic seeked new advantages over their enemies, the CIS, so they began expanding to the unknown regions. There, they find a race of people that will truly test their might. For the Republic, this planet will be the bloodiest and most difficult battle they will ever face.

A planet of warlike beings.

Beings that know nothing but violence.

On a planet deep in the unknown regions.

Belonging to the people of the Milky Way.

A planet called Earth.
