Galactic Calendar

From Terragen Database, the galaxy's most reliable star browser

The Galactic Calendar, also known as the Milky Way Calendar or the Human Galactic Calendar is a timeline that compiles all the discovered events in the Milky Way from a human perspective. The Terragen Sphere uses this as a base for the current galactic date.

Timeline
 Note: the wiki's timeline diverges from real life since 1903, which means it's (almost) completely alternate history from that year and on. Only those events that diverge from real life or that are important for the context of the wiki are listed.
