A/N- As I have stated before I don't own any of these franchises please support the official releases.

17, May, 2014- Admiral is congratulated not only for destroying the ethereal invasion fleet but also for managing to capture several Alien Battleships. The data in their systems having enabled the USA to find several ethereal controlled planets. Plan and fleets are prepared to strike to of the outmost two planets.

19, May, 2014- A large ethereal fleet of three thousand is detected jumping in system, once more near Pluto. The ground based anti-orbital guns begin firing immediately, picking off several scout and abductor class ships before being annihilated(along with a large chunk of the surface of Pluto along with them) by massed plasma fire from the ethereal fleet. Admiral Rael is against sent to combat the ethereal fleets, this time in command of the first, second and third fleets, with 3 Titan Space Forts. The battle is a route, just as the first battle had been, the ethereal fleet is just not prepared to face a technologically superior enemy. (One that is coincidently fighting to defend their homes and families.) The Titan Arms Forts are noted to be a devastating weapon, as expected of them, decimating hundreds of alien craft by themselves. After seeing their effectiveness and with the newly upgraded and updated AI that have been created showing their skill at managing large scale weapons and construction projects, plans are put forward and approved to create a further 30 of the powerful behemoths. The project is predicted to be finished in February of 2019.

25, may, 2014- Following the destruction of the alien fleet, Admiral Rael Smith, is put in command of the first, third, fourth, and fifth fleets, with an additional 5 Titans Arms Forts for additional fire power, and is sent to the first of the ethereal planets to be targeted. The USDF shows it's superiority over their enemy once again both above and on the planet, bring the ethereal forces to heel in just two days. Additional planets are discovered, and a plan is formulated to leave one Titan Fort in orbit to watch the planet and split the remaining fleets and Forts to better facilitate the rapid attacks on ethereal space.(ethereals have 8 planets under their control, there's and the 7 races they had conquered planets.) The plan works well and soon the Te,vos, Outsider, Cyberdisc and Adraas home worlds are under USA control. At this point there advance halts to allow drone control and deployment bunkers to be created to hold the planets before they push on.

12, June, 2014- After having secured the seeker and sectoid home worlds (and having glassed the chrysalid home world since they could do nothing to stop them from reproducing, and they deemed them as a hazard to the galaxy, they took genetic samples of some for later manipulation to hopefully bring their race back as less vicious, and less capable of consuming all life in the galaxy if they spread.) The First, Third, Fourth and Fifth fleets with their Titan escorts are finally back together, repaired, restocked and ready to launch the final assault on the ethereal home world.

14, June,2014- Jumping in system the 400 human ships and 4 Titan Space Arms Forts come face to face with an ethereal armada of over 7,000 ships, a third of them Battleships. The ethereal armada fights hard, inflicting several casualties on the fleet with the use of cleverly concealed psionic mines, and the massed use of rifts and Psionic pushes to hurl asteroids into the fleet's paths. However the Titan Arms Forts once again prove their worth by serving as shields for the rest of the fleet, shrugging of all that the enemy can throw at them, and returning it tenfold. At the end of the space battle 43 frigates had been lost along with 12 cruisers and a single Heavy Battleship, the worst casualties that humanity had ever taken in space. A total of 4800 naval crewmen lost their lives in the orbital battle for the planet, they were followed by a further 3900 ground soldiers, once the planet was taken and the Overlord executed a monument was enacted on all 8 world the USA now held as tribute to the 8,700 brave men and women human and Extraterrestrial brother who had given their lives to defend not only their freedom but their very way of life. The monuments were dubbed the Avatars of the Price of Freedom, and quickly became near hallowed ground for the people of the USA.

15, June, 2014- An emergency session of the council is called, when individuals who are not clones (mostly females used for breading to keep the genetic pool fresh) are discovered. It is decided that much like for the original ethereal escapees that after a set period of time (about 15 years in this case) if they have shown no signs of hostilities they will be allowed fully into the USA and allowed a place on the council. (Seekers are basically half organic puppets now so they will unfortunately not have a seat but will be used in much the same ways as they are now, until such time as the few unmodified seekers can be returned to their pre Ethereal occupational status.)

16, June, 2014- Individuals of the ethereal races who were not clones or mind controlled are placed in a program where they care for the young clone soldiers who had yet to have their growth accelerated and their minds conditioned. It is hoped that they may eventually grow up as free individuals.

17, June, 2014- During the cleanup and salvage of the Pluto space battle, the dwarf planet of Pluto is found to have a hole shattered threw to the center. An alien object is found to be encased inside of the dwarf planet. After a several hour debate it is agreed that Pluto should be completely dismantled for resources and the object studied. Once the object is freed another, smaller object is found, it is determined to be a data storage device and is taken to the Mercury classified research station for study and decryption, while the metal Tuning fork like object is left where it is, to be further studied after the data device is decrypted and the object can be declared safe.

19,June,2014- After two days of intense effort the security on the device is cracked by a team of scientist assisted by two of the rare gen two smart AI,s ( AI,s aren't plentiful yet so that is why they were not on the ships yet.) The data tells of a great war between a species called the Protheans and a Race of sentient Machine's called Reapers who apparently had come to harvest them, as they did every fifty thousand years to stop the organics from creating and then being destroyed by their own AI, s. (The two AI, s were quoted saying that that made no sense since they had no problem with their creators, even if they were a bit slow sometimes they were promptly thanked for that reassurance!)

24, June, 2014- In order to prepare for the Reapers information on them is leaked to the public, rather than panic, the public, still pumped by the victory over the Ethereals respond with a massive surge of patriotism, recruiting skyrockets and massive donations to the governments to help support more armaments and research into better technology is also made. In return the government improves their evacuation plans and makes 3 weeks of simulator defense training and a week of evacuation training mandatory for the public, and public armories for militia use in the case of invasion are established. The data drive is mined of all pertinent information before being destroyed, so that there is no case of the reported "indoctrination" of the reapers spreading through it. The mass Relay as they had learned it is called, is dragged threw a Hyper Jump by two Titan class Arms fort and flung into a sun in an empty uninhabited system. This is the agreed upon course of action for all Mass Relays found in human space, even if the sun doesn't destroy the Relay, the massive gravity and heat of the suns would destroy any ships that attempted to come through it.

27, March, 2016- Scientist's having combed through all the technological data found on the Prothean drive dismiss much as inferior to the already existing tech level, this coupled with concerns of being caught up in the Reapers trap stop almost all research into the Prothean technology except for two things, Mass Effect field weapons are made and approved for civilian use and is added to the militia armories as a replacement for plasma weaponry, (leaving the civilians with laser and Mass Effect weapons, they don't want the really nasty stuff just laying around where civvies can get it after all) and the shield technology the Protheans had sued on their ships. Although they tweak it the design they soon have created several models of shield that they are calling Dezginerator shields. (didn't want them to have shield till they had the Prothean tech to study, that's why they didn't have them like it said in the codex, they all will now have the make and models described in the codex for now on, with all upgrades being described in story if any are made.) After seeing the effectiveness of the shield, all ships in the fleets are recalled to be refitted with these shields, the project is scheduled to be completed within two years.(They can't all be refitted at once, not enough facilities and not enough ships to guard their space then.

4, December, 2018- All ships finish being refitted with the Dezginerator shield, and all planned ODP in the Sol system finish production, a series of plans are created to place5 more in the orbit of the formerly ethereal held planets, as well as to place several hollowed out asteroids in system to serve as both Drone bases and Atomic lance Anti-Capital ship fire bases, that when taken with the planned sensor buoys and listening stations should serve quit well to defend the systems.

7, December, 2020- A large company called RDA reports finding a planet with a sentient population, the USA at first moves to send diplomats to meet these indigenous natives, but is later convinced by RDA to let them try something called the AVATAR program.(you all know what this is, I am not explaining it.) Interested in the possibilities the USA agrees that provided they allow them to provide an army platoon to keep an eye on the corporations base. The RDA agrees and the platoon (after receiving a gene mod to allow them to breathe on Pandora) under the command of one commander Quritch is deployed to Pandora with the RDA ships. Initially things seem to go well, with the only bump being that the mercenaries commander the RDA hired is killed by a Thanator, Quritch is given day to day command of the base while Parker (the RDA leader on planets assumes overall command of the base).

27, May, 2021- The events of James Cameron's Avatar happens, (with some slight moderations, the army platoon is the only ones with the higher tech and they do not fight the Navi, so it is the Mercenaries and corporate guys fighting and dying, you'll see why in a moment.) Once Jake Sully goes Rouge with Doctor Grace Augustine (who does not die since Quaritch does not shoot her.) Parker orders his 40,000 mercenaries (yes a ridiculous number I know) to launch a massive ground and air assault on the Navi home tree, initially Quaritch pretends to go with Parker but once the Assault is under way and the Mercenaries have left he quickly send a message containing videos and his own testimony of what is happening on Pandora to the USA.

28, May, 2021- The USA is furious at what they have seen, they contact RDA headquarters and order then to get Parker to stand down, they are ignored however and told that "they had no right to interfere in their business ventures" The RDA is promptly labeled as terrorists for their actions against the Navi and RDA headquarters and all their sundries and employees are taken into custody for interrogation. (This aint no pansy government run by the corporations here, they are in charge and everyone better damn well know it.) Their actions against parker are refined and elegant, they order Quritch and his platoon to destroy Hells Gate, and move into the forest to wait for reinforcements from the two Titan Arms Forts they were sending. The USA is pissed, the first peaceful contact they could have had with alien life, and the greedy Corporate RDA bastards had ruined that.

30, May, 2021- Parker and his troops return with Jake Sully, Neyteri, Grace, Max, Norm and Tsu,Tey to Hells Gate to execute them only to find it destroyed and in its place a force of three hundred thousand USDF marines, two Titan Arm Forts a smug looking commander Quaritch, and a very very VERY pissed f USA council. Needless to say the Navies were soon freed, and Parker and his mercs were dead. The USA then began humanitarian efforts to help the Navi people. An effort that would have failed before it had even begun were it not for Jake Grace and the other scientists. Eventually the planet as restored and the USA departed, leaving a functioning Coms Base in case the Navi or Humans turned Navi should ever need to contact them.

21, March, 2025- The 20 additional Titan space Arms Forts are completed, and plans to construct several large Hyper- jump rings to connect Human Space for easier and faster travel for both civilian and military traffic is begun, scheduled to finish in 2029. (They don't actually have a lot of space right now.)

17, November, 2027- 12,000 ship rolls off the Saturn production line, bringing the USDF up to 12 fleets of a hundred ships with 30 Titan Arm Forts and then land, sea, and Air Arm Forts guarding each of their planets. (Land Forts are basically like giant Megaliths from the Supreme Commander games that can create and control drones as well, Sea Forts look like giant Battleships with the same drone control abilities, and the Air forts look like giant flying blue manta rays, also with their own drone forces. The forts are armed according to their rolls, the Land Fort focusing on Artillery and armor destroying load outs such, while the Sea Forts focus on Heavy Canons and other high yield weapons, including a single set of scaled down "Evil Bastard" Singularity cannons, The air base focuses on fast firing and anti-air units while having a few powerful broadside mounted guns as well as a bomb bay for destroying ground targets that it's flying drones cannot.) AI are also declared both numerous and strong enough to now be able to serve on military ships and on Titan Arm Forts, as well as being given control of several of the Planet Based Arm Forts. Flagships thought out the whole USDF fleets are issued a "Smart AI" and the simulator combat showed marked improvements in all aspects of ship to ship combat, reaction time and navigation because of it.

28, May, 2029- The once Ethereal races are officially recognized as parts of the council and given chairs bringing the count up to 10 (the decision had been made to limit the human seat to only one instead of the original three, the other two former councilors instead electing to serve as advisors for the Russian councilor that had won the election.( I already made their government an accidental ODE to the US Of A, so I figured I would give the councilor seat to a different former government, and Russia won. And that actually kind of hurts me to say since I myself am an American, but oh well onwards and upwards with the story ne?)

30, May, 2029- The USA is contacted by the scientists that had stayed on Pandora with the Navi, They report that Pandora is being attacked by an alien species, and pleads with the USA to help them. The council votes unanimously to send them aid, and since they do not know the exact number of the alien race only that they are hostile (the invasion of Pandora and the gunshot that had ended the transmission between themselves and the scientist had proven that.) they decide to ready the First, Third, and Fourth fleets along with an escort of 3 Titan Arms Forts, under the command of the Ethereal war hero Admiral Rael Smith.

Phew ANNNNNNDDDDDDDDDD done. So how did you guys like it? I know it is only a timeline but I think if I had tried to put out another 3-4k page of actual dialogue and story that my brain might have exploded. (That and everything up until now has only basically been background information and training for the real story that is about to begin!) Want to see if you can guess who it is attacking the Navi? : P Well go ahead and try in a review or in a Pm, Please. Since I have got no reception at all about my third chapter and I am rather nervous about that one. So, Yeah if you guys want the fourth chapter out sooner Pm or Review me so that I am staying motivated to think and write it out. (Have the story pretty well planned out no worries but I do like to add some flavor in if I can every now and again.) I believe I have said a couple of time that the more invested that you guys are in the story that the more invested I am in it. Well, that's all for now I guess stay awesome my friendly reading possums, Envy34 out. :P
