Thanks Michael! I appreciate your help man, I'll take a look at it and formulate a time line for all the "Crossfire" events.
-
I've updated the timeline to include the Starlancer history and some Crossfire events and dates. I've given theoretical dates based off of Starlancer's initial date, 2160A.D. and a roughly 125 year journey of the sleeper ships to the Sirius sector.
This puts us all roughly in the 31st century, years before the turn of the 32nd century.

Yep, Arkane is right, Sol was ripped out by the DKs... but just the humans on them and now Earth is repopulated... but not by coalition again. The Aliance guys(that fleed to Sirius) found Eath empty ! Cus the DKs misteriously went away.
PS: After reading the edited version... It's really worked, nice
but I must say nope. In the Crossfire version, Sol got empty thx to the DKs, not their pets, the Nomads.You also have to edit your second post, who will read it, will think that all that history wasn't made by you, but took from Discovery
PS2: The year 815 is a bit messy, one of them says "5 years after the nomad war" but 5 years ago onthat list there's nothing like a war, it's about "The Order", and actually, in the real story/in the facts, the big war with the nomads was on that year, when X system was found. The big war was made in that system, to take out and defend from the nomads there.
You could also include the nice singleplayer story into there

Whaaaa? I though OP's short stories wrote that the Nomads wiped out Earth's population? It makes far more sense IMHO since the Nomads would find mankind first, do what they believe thier masters would have them do, wipe out mankind, being they are the DK's lackeys.
Methinks you should read OP's story regarding this again, besides it's my basis for the Crossfire timeline anyway, I ain't just pullin' all this out my rear orifice.

D0h! Well, if not 5 years between the end of the First Nomad War and the second, then when? The Sirius houses will need quite a bit of time to recoup, repopulate, re-arm and develop technology before the next Nomad War IMHO, 5 years seemed like a good time frame.

umm, I was just editing that post a bit
the news in the Earth's bar told about what happened with that system, at least in 1.7.PS: Your added edited link shows just the story of the alternative video, the exact words of that video... with some added at the end to fix it with Sovet.
Well, here's the crux of this problem with the ENTIRE history log of Crossfire, I must concentrate on what is relevant with THIS, i.e. 1.81's release. I cannot dictate when exactly certain things happen exactly as there is too much conflicting data or in some cases, basically zero data of any time frame of them, if we are to go by the actual history log of Crossfire you provided me. Therefore, I will follow the canon, from what OP has provided to provide a basis of "history" for the majority of Crossfire events as it's the most solid source of information I have and the most up to date.
-
Yeah, those short stories... seems Drakon changed a bit the history that OP put in-game, still in 1.7 itself.
In-game, X3043 itself was discovered, together with a great battle, as X system was ocuppyed by nomads, there was a war to free it, and the main planet was destroyed,(there comes all the big rocks floating arround with a gravicore in middle... from the old planet), and the Crossfire planet is in fact the old's planet's moon.PS: The stories were based on the FL and CF story, so, not the exact story. It's up to you to make the real history list, or the mixed one with the stories
f you check the credits, it tells it's just a story based on the real one, to show it interesting and something like a history of humanity in CF -

Ohhhh great... So it wasn't OP after all who came up with them...
Well again, I have to go with the latest information we have so far, i.e. 1.81, so as far as I'm concerned, the short stories are our "main" source of Crossfire "canon". I'm probably going to have to mix a few older details, if you can provide them that are not mentioned in the short stories to "fill in the holes" so to speak, like planet Crossfire being the actual moon of the NOMAD planet that was destroyed.
Again, don't think I'm getting annoyed with you or anything Michael, I appreciate all your feedback and input on this, I want to get this "Crossfire history and timeline" as accurate as I possibly can. I imagine there will be MANY revisions to this post from now until we're all happy with it.

We should give you a Crossfire Historian badge.

LOL
And thx for the PM Micheal.
That is a lot of stuff. -
Hellraiser

To everyone who's interested in this, one of the reasons I'm doing this is that it reminds me of another favorite game of mine I've played for years, Mechwarrior and it's related massive history and universe, the Battletech universe, which is in some ways, simular to Starlancer/Freelancer/Crossfire's universe and span on for about the same amount of time ironically. I've always loved the deep, rich history and timeline of the Battletech universe and I wanted Starlancer/Freelancer/Crossfire to have the same thing, since it's getting so deep and rich with a history and lore of it's own. Any of you who knows Battletech as well as I do, knows how many freaking source-books it has for it's various factions, organizations and so forth, let alone all the novels about it's history and lore. It's only fitting the Crossfire universe's history and lore should be written down and preserved for all to read.
-
Yep, seems there were more Mechwarriors fans... even I just played it a bit lately, finished what there was and left it. I prefer the space sims
-
Alright guys, getting close to finishing this thing up after a few weeks of working on it on and off...
Check it out and tell me what you think so far. Again, any and all input/feedback/suggestions are welcomed.
Once I get the short story's canon completely added, I may go back and add when bases and mayyybe planets are established for the Crossfire systems. This will NOT include Altair/Coaltion systems and events however, besides, this is the "Unoffical History of Sirius(for the Crossfire 1.81 mod)" anyway, Altair is not the focus! Maybe someone can do a Altair one from the Coalition perspective in the future, a "Unofficial History of Altair".
-
If it wouldn't include much of Altair (as it's already including a bit), means it won't say much about the Galactic Core ?
