Timeline - updated
1884 - A ten kilometer square area of northern Japan simply ceases to exist, becoming rolling hills where once a thriving village stood. Gensokyo is created and is separate from the rest of the world in nearly all senses.
1936 - By this time Youkai sightings outside of Gensokyo have dropped to near nothing. Magic has been lost to all but 0.0000001% of human population outside of Gensokyo. Magic and species other than human are completely considered fiction.
2009 - Yukari Yakumo, Begins meeting key figures, both from the Lunarians on their Capitol of Luna, Prominent Youkai leaders, and Human leaders from dozens upon dozens of countries outside of Gensokyo. Those who do not know what is going on become nervous in Gensokyo.
2023 - The Hakurei border breaks apart suddenly dropping Gensokyo back into the real world, and releasing absorbed magic back into it. Chaos ensues for a time as humanity discerns the reasons for this and deals with the sudden re-emergence of Youkai, the creatures of myth and story.
2024 - Yukari Yakumo, along with the leaders of Luna, and prominent Youkai leaders meet with nations of the world at a UN Meeting, and explain what Gensokyo's release could mean for the world. After nearly three months of meetings and debates, an unsteady alliance is formed.
A year later as the alliance become far more comfortable with itself, it is realigned and reorganized, changing its name from the Tri-racial earth alliance, to simply the Alliance.
2026 – 2103 - A time of cultural, Scientific and Arcane renewal comes. With access to magic and Lunarian science, Human technology takes off. Luna and Gensokyo also profit due to Humanities Technology, and its production capabilities and ample resources in compare to Luna. Humanity, Youkai and Lunanians, despite many Terrorist attacks and problems, become closer, and hate and anger between all groups falls considerably during this time. it becomes known that humans can become Youkai by association to magic, and it legislation is drafted to guarantee the rights of such people.
A Lunarian Spaceship engine is redesigned by a group of Magicians and human scientists and turns out to be over 100X more effective in generating power that can be used for technology of magical purposes. Lunarian Scientists are annoyed, but respect the work and agree upon it replacing old style engines one they confirm its safety and viability. It is then given the name, a MAGTECH Reactor.
Alongside the MAGTECH Reactor, a Lunarian and Youkai research group devises a way to traverse greater distances in space in the blink of an eye. By working with the boundary principle and the power granted by the MAGTECH Reactor, they manage a 'boundary slip' moving their test ship from Luna to Pluto in a total of seven seconds. They name their creation a BOUNDARY DRIVE and its testing goes well, and even better when working in tandem with a MAGTECH Reactor.
Cooperation in the fields of biology and medicine devise work around's for humanities frail biology. Alteration to the genome and DNA/RNA Helix's allowed implanting of some very small Lunarian and Youkai Genome fragments. The result is a greatly enhanced human lifespan and limited boost to natural regeneration. The human lifespan is increased sevenfold, and wounds heal faster, and some small loss of extremities can be regenerated (IE – Toes, fingers. sometimes hands and feet.)
Gensokyo's combat rules (Collectively called the Spellcard rules) are accepted by much of the planet as an alternative to deadly combat, allowing problems to be still dealt with violence, but with little to no life lost.
2106 - With the advances in technology, magic and medicine it becomes clear that overpopulation is becoming a more present danger than the small amount of violence that till shows on earth. Plans to Terraform mars are drafted, and the project is set into motion in the same year due to Lunarian tech and zealous Human Aggression to get it done.
2107 - Mars terraforming project is complete. It now has a fully breathable atmosphere and many small plants are growing in abundance. It is figured that larger plants and animals will be safely able to be planted on the planet within a year, and that crops could be planted and farmed in as little as two without too much worry of the new biosphere.
2114 - Space stations are built across the solar system around Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn, acting as both trade and mining hubs where resources are gatherers, stores, and in some case processing facilities. These massively boost earth and Luna's Resources and balances the increasing demand.
An expedition on mars discovers ruins that are not Lunarian, and do not match any information from Lunarian Databanks. The ruins are fully excavated later that year and the archives within tapped. Information about a race called, Protheans, and an element they used Called Element Zero is revealed to the public. The amount of Element Zero in its stores however is pitifully small. The alliance considers Element Zero and Prothean technology interesting, but not more efficient or better than their own technology in any way, but decide to look into the technology to the best of their ability, just in case it can be utilized in some way, even if minor.
2115 - Following data from the Prothean Archive, An Alliance Science ship fired a hollow point round, containing the alliances remaining one kilogram of Element zero alongside one of the last existing Nuclear armaments into Charon, Pluto's moon, releasing a dormant Mass relay from its icy casing and reactivating it. In the next week the same ship goes through, and discovers how the mass relay network works, returning the information to the alliance. Plans are drafted by the Alliance to utilize this network alongside Boundary Slips to speed up exploration of the galaxy and to speed up colonization of other planets.
The possibility that the Mass relays are Prothean Made is dismissed by most scientific minds in the Alliance, and it is decide that while the mass relays could be utilized more, that overusing or becoming dependent on them should not be allowed. Once a planetary system is found and mapped, travel to it is primarily done by Boundary Slips, not the relays. Some Alliance Scientists try to devise a way to destroy or, permanently deactivate Relays if the need arises.
2116 - Three colonies are founded in distant systems, and their population explodes due to Effective Terraforming. Two of these colony systems were found Via Relay, and one by Boundary slip and Careful mathematical probability crunching.
With Colonization started, the alliance Heads decide that keeping their people safe in case of danger is paramount, and R&D begins research on weaponizing Technology and magic for use on ships, as Regular Solid munitions are collectively considered a bad idea due to the zero gravity of space, and simply a waste of metal resources. The process is fast due to the adaptability of Magic as a weapon and Technological advances in past years.
Within the next ten years, another seven Planets are terraformed and Colonized. Four by Boundary Slip, and three by Relay.
The Alliance forms its own united military and navy alongside the weaponization of magic and technology in the event of violent encounters in space. Enrollment in this militia is widespread and well respected, the alliance offering training, and ever the cost of secondary educations as a seemingly unneeded incentive. Many major Youkai are part of the alliance military due to their power and capabilities.
2123 - The colony of Shanxi is founded after being discovered by Relay Exploration. Colonisation takes place quickly due to Shanxi's natural Green world status.
2137 - Exploration ships, sidelined a couple years before due to excessive expansion and Trade route complications, are allowed back to exploring. An Exploration vessel called the 'Dawnseeker' leaves the Shanxi system by Relay and attempts to activate a dormant relay two systems over. First contact with an alien Race, Turian Hierarchy occurs.
A conflict, later named the First contact war, is set off between the Hierarchy and the alliance when the alliance strikes against a Turian cruiser in retaliation for destroying their research ship, leading to the Hierarchy mobilizing forces toward the alliance planet of Shanxi. The conflict goes poorly for the hierarchy, mostly due to inflexible military doctrine and underestimation of their foes. The citadel council sends and envoy to end the violence, resulting in temporarily lull while alliance leadership goes to the citadel to speak with them.
The alliance leaderships arrival on the Citadel was met with mixed reactions with their refusal to join the citadel, and due to their claims of magic and alternate technology. Six months later Operatives Flandre Scarlet and Mokou Fujiwara come to the citadel as emissary and guard.
2138 - Reteitsai occurs on Shanxi and is open for citadel races to come and witness alliance cultures. The Turian Desolas Arterius, and the Asari Isika both are on the planet at this time, with both making choices regarding the alliance and their own futures
Eiren Yagokoro arrives on Tuchunka to investigate the Genohpage.
2139 - Desolas Arterius returns from the course to learn magic, and then promptly is disowned and returns to alliance space. The Quarian peoples learn of magic and the alliance from one of their own. Eirin Yagokoro's work on Tuchanka continues, despite STG attempts at stopping it.
2142 - Matriarch Escelva of the Asari Republic on Ilium pays Batarian pirate forces to attack a planet of the alliance and capture its people for her.
The Blitz occurs, getting stopped by intervention by Magicians and the AOS Philosophe. Desolas and Adaaya are present.

The Turian Hierarchy begins meeting with the alliance for possible future cooperative efforts.
The siege of kar'shan occurs, and ends with the discovery of the Leviathan of Dis and its subsequent destruction, alongside Desolas becoming a Youkai, and a nuclear reaction detonating within Kar'shan's capitol city.
The organization Ragnarok is formed by a number of Council Spectre's, and exists to destroy the alliance.
2145 - Quarians with working with the alliance, and having joined them, are progressing well in repairing their biology's, with some children managing to go suit-less.

Two lunarian princesses prepare to start the Andromeda initiative.
2148 - Terrafirma takes over an Asari facility, killing the workers. And creating a PR nightmare for the alliance. They send Utsuho Reiuji to join with council spectre Saren Arterius to deal with it. Saren receives anonymous mail afterword's, pledging help to his cause, and that of Ragnarok's.
2155 - June 7th - An attack on Eden prime occurs, with council spectre Nihlus Kyrik being caught in the middle of it a and having to go alongside operatives Adaaya Nicotris Shepard and Desolas Arterius to leave the planet in the aftermath.

June 14th - the attack on Virmire continues, while Liara escapes the Normandy and is taken in by Sarens forces. He is handed data from Trela Vasir acquired from the Rachni Queen. Attack destroys base, but does not claim Saren, it does however ,reveal the entity in charge, the Reapers.
Huge quantities of money are discovered changing hands by the Geth.
Operative Desida contacts Hackett about the Rachni queen given asylum, and sends her operative examiner report.
June 16th - Normandy arrives and discovers Ilo's and prepares for landing, splitting forces to land, and board a Batarian missile frigate. Desolas, Adaaya and Nihlus land upon the planet and follow Saren, encountering a Prothean intelligence called Vigil that informs them of the situation, and warns Nihlus of another before they depart and head to the planets sluiceways to follow Saren, eventually following him through the conduit to the Citadel.
On the citadel Charles Saracino proves to be untrustworthy, while Adaaya, Desolas and Nihlus head up the tower to confront Saren. The combat is violent and terrible, with Saren dying and then being puppeted by Sovereign, but both are destroyed by a overzealous execution by Desolas involving far more magic power he could handle. Sovereign then detonates above the citadel tower, destroying much of it.
