Foreword

AN: Hello, fellow reader! Thank you for showing interest in the story This is only the Codex section story is separate from this.

First: I don't mind if you bring up issues just keep it civil.

Second: There is some Tech that comes from (The Iron Heart of Man by Apollonir) (I have permission)

Third: This is an AU and Humanity is Colonizing much sooner than in the canon timeline. humanity has also had the cold war for much longer. This also includes a change in how long it takes for first contact by one hundred years so it has changed from the first contact in 2157 to 2257.

Fourth: humanity's location in the Galaxy has changed they are now stuck in the middle of the terminus and closer to the Asari boarders than the Turians and Batarian ones

Fifth: I own nothing related to this story not from halo. Star wars or 40k I just borrowed names from them because of there no way in hell I could think of some great names like they have.

This story will have three arcs: The first arc will focus on the first contact battle along with the politics an introduction to the galaxy. The second will focus on the war with the terminus and the Alliance trying to secure there territory. The third and final arc of this story will be more political focused and a prelude of events for the likely sequel.

Humanity Timeline

1970: Soviet Union Parliament notices a lack of economic growth forces them to drop to 3% GDP put to defense programs whilst they sort the issue.

1975: the Soviet Union enacts Perestroika to further increase the growth of there economy.

1990: Soviet Union economy rivals America in terms of prosperity. The parliament boost defense programs spending to 10% whilst investing 30% into new technology forcing America to increase there own spending on research to keep pace.

2015: Years of research pay off as a new space race begins with the promise of creating a base on Luna within ten years. The Soviet Union and Americans in a race to be better-prepared start massive investments in Third world countries. While America tries to improve the industrial and infrastructure of the African Countries. Russia Begins work on South American countries as well as Germany.

2020: A Superstructure the Space Elevator is designed by a German Engineer and scientist team is completed and sold to both world Super Powers. Construction Starts With Russian space elevator in the North Pacific Ocean While America and NATO start there's in the North Atlantic Ocean

2025: A Break through in construction methods for materials by a scientist in how to make use of minimal materials for the best outcome. Two separate Luna Bases are established with solar power and hydroponics to support those who move in they are both inside two of the largest craters to avoid asteroid strikes.

2028: Fusion Energy is successfully produced

2035: Construction of the two space elevators are completed 3 days apart with Russia been slowed down by materials loss this causes a rise in tension between the two Countries because of possible sabotage. Engineers and scientist begin the design of new space craft vessels a joint research and design project to send a human to Mars to reduce tensions. A satellite is launched to Mars to prepare for the mission

2037: Satellite reaches Mars and begins it's information gathering two months later information is collected and shown to world governments about an energy reading it picks up in the Deseado Crater

2040: The IT department in Europe decides to create a true AI programming starts. Luna now has a population of 12000 on earth forces all governments to enact a family size regulation law. Medicine is greatly improved upon solving many health issues it also has increased the human life span by another 60 years and mathematics and FTL theories have developed with 3 been focused on them been wormholes, warp, and hyperspace.

2041: The making of AI whilst not completed generates a large amount of attention leading to multiple groups been formed. Governments decide to ensure that AI is seen as people to avoid any possible issues. Riots ensue which is met with policing action. Construction of Voyager 1 begins with the strange energy reading been the focus of the mission.

2044: MAC guns that have been built on to naval vessels for the last 20 years have been miniaturized enough to be built into LMG. Further research is done to improve on the weapon system.

2045: Dumb AI created which is logic-based earning them the name of Spock AI. This leads to a large number of Governments investing in the venture as well as purchasing them. This leads to the formation of Ibot industries. Smart AI are theorized to requires an in-depth human brain scan a request for volunteers is sent out.

2048: Voyager 1 begins it's a journey to Mars. Ibot solves the issue of smart AI after the human brain has been fully mapped. A dumb AI is upgraded to a smart AI. This leads to the AI questioning what its name was the employees there give the AI the name Athena she then asks if she has a soul. The answer was "we do not know but in time we might but for us yes you do".Communication was done via speakers and microphone. Research into a mobile platform is commenced.

2050: Construction of four more space elevators are commenced and Earth Nations begin the construction of military space craft making use of Fusion Energy. Luna now has a population of 45000 people. Mining Space craft begins construction alongside military vessels. Colonies are planed for five other of Sol's celestial bodies.

2051: Voyager 1 land on Mars and searches the surface for the anomaly. They find a door to a structure and do not enter because of unknowns samples are taking and a base set up for the next mission they begin there return trip to earth 2 months later. Mobile Platforms work well and emulate a lot of human movements. They last a few days they just require a better power source to improve from

2054: Completion of the first space vessel frigates are completed with a Single Mac gun and four mac turrets. Voyager 2 is sent with smart AI Athena and 150 personal of different Nationalities to the alien structure to investigate

2055: Voyager 2 arrives because of new engines within 9 months they begin there mission they spend 3 months exploring and securing all information related to the site. They bring all information back with them along with the space craft left at the alien structure. America and Russia start to Debate on what this could mean for the future.

2060: The Prothean data cache is used to improve upon a few of there technology but a lack of element zero sees to it that it is not used. The Language is translated 2 months later after it is deemed to resource-dependent it is discovered that all the information on the sight is mostly corrupt except for infantry and land vehicle kinetic barriers along with a message that stated that the Prothean empire which spanned the galaxy was exterminated by an unknown force. Governments around the world to meet and plan for possible war. Governments around the world decide to use the cold war issue to maintain a strong military presence and build up. The cold war ends unofficially.

2060-2085:Humanity enters a colonization era for the sol system which leads to the majority of the sol system been Developed with six Colonies besides earth and a large number of shipyards built and military vessels come off the lines in large amounts from shipyards in space which produce Cruisers while frigates and corvette vessels are built on earth and are sent into space via space elevator. A large deposit of element zero is discovered Theories are completed they just lack power for completion. The Terra-forming of Mars Begins.

2088: Research departments working on a way to synthesize element zero result in the creation of Anti-matter it lead to the death of 30000 people due to it being on Luna. This discovery leads to ways of making use of anti-matter. Sirta Foundation invents medi-gel the next month. Heavy regulations are put in place to further research and production Anti-matter in safety and away from population centers.

2091: The creation of a new Armour alloy known as Titanium-A Battle-plate which is a Titanium and uranium-based alloy capable of taking a great deal of Punishment from either kinetic strikes or thermal-based strikes and is used as the new starship Armour.

2095: Anti-matter power is made easy and cheap to produce along with better generators it shows that they are capable of producing the required energy for FTL. Construction of FTL drives commence.

2098: FTL Drive testing completed and deemed safe for use. Sol system has 13+Billion humans&120 million smart AI. Mass effect FTL deemed wasteful and slow Warp and Wormhole travel proved to be better in both speed and is less restricting.

2098-2197: Humanity's weapons research has been miniaturized to fit into small hand held weapons and is used as a new standard weapon, it also FTL becomes common place and expansion starts this leads to humanity colonizing 35 habitable garden worlds. Warp drives are the standard system drives whilst wormhole stations are used to move large numbers of vessels quickly or over large distances but require large amounts of power. Piracy is crushed quickly and by law is grounds for death on discovery. Mars is halfway with Terra-forming but there are large domed city's that have been built and they hold a population of 2 Billion.

2203:Rising tension in 7 of the outer colonies and two inner colonies occur and soon declare independence and strike at the core worlds military. The Insurrection war begins.

2203-2215: Twelve years of bloody war both through asteroid belts and planetary sieges, leads to massive redesigns of naval vessels and improvements are made to space warfare doctrines the core worlds crush the outer colonies alliance and establish control over them. The Old world Governments meet and establish the Systems Alliance which will be used to govern and protect all of humanity which signals the end of the Insurrection. The Ice moon above Pluto cracks open and a mass relay is discovered. The Systems Alliance sends an expedition through. Arcturus Station is planed and is to be set up on the now discovered Arcturus system to protect earth in case of attack through the mass relay. Anti-matter is turned into a weapon during the war and City Shielding is developed to protect from bombardment.

2215-2253: Humanity goes through a rapid faze of expansion through the relay network leading to the colonization of 9 more worlds on the relay network and another 6 off the relay network. And Mars project is completed resulting in mars becoming a garden world holding five Billion people.

2257: First Contact in Shanxi system and is besieged by Pirates the next day.
