Repost from the old boards:
The following is a historical overview of the events that took place in the Milky Way:
Most dates are given in BC or AD, but from the year 3588, I will use NGT (New Galactic Time). 3588 AD is 1 NGT, and there is no official year 0. The current year is 1311 NGT.
For the first several dates, you can give or take two million years.
Actual dates not recorded, but before the other listed events: Rise and fall of the Tba, a multi-galaxy empire founded by shapeshifting races. Rogue servants of the cosmocrats, the loowers, hide a cosmocratic artifact, the Eye of Laire, on the third planet of a yellow sun with ten planets: on the earth.
approx 16.000.000 BC: A wandering spiritual being calling itself the Wanderer reaches the Milky Way and makes its home on earth. In the following millions of years, it evolves into the super-intelligence known as IT and creates the artificial planet Wanderer.
approx 12.000.000 BC: IT receives a visit from a heliote and decides to join a Thoregon. A part of him called Estartu is horrified by this and leaves IT. IT battles against the negative super-intelligence STROWWAN and tricks it into destroying itself.
approx 4.000.000 BC: IT receives two cell activators from a cosmocratic emissary. Also, destructive minds isolated by him rebel and form Anti-IT. IT and Anti-IT agree to resolve their battle in a "Cosmic Game of Chess" judged by the cosmocrats.
approx 2.000.000 BC: The porleytans, precedessors of the Knights of the Deep, retire to M3. They create "artifacts" from natural structures and retreat into them.
approx 1.200.000 BC: The Hordes of Garbesh, an army sent by the negative SI Seth-Apophis invade the Milky Way, but are repelled by a coalition of the natives of the Milky Way and a Knight of the Deep called Armadan of Harpoon. After his victory, Armadan takes precautions to defend the Milky Way should the Hordes ever return. His worst enemy, the horde leader Amtranik puts himself into stasis. The Suprahet, a titanic anti-matter creature passes through the Milky Way and destroys several clusters of stars before being stopped by the barkonids, a humanoid race descendant of the creators of the swarm, a cosmocratic tool for spreading intelligence along it's way.
approx 1.000.000 BC: The swarm passes through the Milky Way. Some of it's inhabitants rebel and take over the swarm, and the previous rulers, a race of shapeshifters called cynos flee into the Milky Way and prepare it for the swarm's eventual return. Barkon, the homeworld of the barkonids is pushed far outside the galaxy.
approx 200.000 BC: The humanoid cappins, who came from the galaxy Gruelfin (NGC 4594) perform genetic changes on the inhabitants of earth, creating centaurs, cyclopses and so-called pseudo-neanderthaleans, who are more intelligent than their counterparts. The actions of the cappins lead to the evolution of the lemurians.
approx 50.000 BC: The lemurian empire is destroyed by the halutans. The former fifth planet of the solar system is destroyed and forms the asteroid belt. The surviving lemurians scatter all about the galaxy and even flee to Andromeda. Somehow, thirteen lemurians get ahold of cell activators and form a tyrannical regime as the Masters of the Isle in both galaxies, but retreat from the Milky Way after some time. A hydrogen-breathing race native to Andromeda, the maahks, flees into the Milky Way. The halutans are turned into peaceful beings.
approx 20.000 BC: The akonid empire, direct descendants of the lemurians, suffer their worst defeat against the rebellious arkonids and decide to isolate themselves. The arkonids quickly forget their ancestors. IT grants several arkonid emperors immortality.
approx 8.000 BC: The arkonid crystal prince Atlan reaches the solar system. He punishes the unjust leader of the colony on Venus and resettles some colonists on earth. One continent on earth is given his name: Atlantis. Atlan receives his cell activator. The colonies in the solar system are later destroyed and Atlantis sinks into the ocean during a catastrophic battle. Atlan is trapped on earth. After devastating wars between the arkonids and the maahks, the latter flee to Andromeda and are thought to be extinct.
approx 2.600 BC: The pyramid of Cheops is built, with the Eye of Laire buried within.
1970-1971 AD: The Arkonids Crest and Thora Zoltral start an expedition to find the legendary Planet of Eternal Life, but crash land on the moon. Perry Rhodan meets them on the first flight to the moon and uses arkonid technology to unite earth.
1975 AD: Perry Rhodan finds the Planet of Eternal Life - Wanderer. IT says that the arkonids have failed in the 20.000 years he gave them, and gives the same chance to the terrans. Perry Rhodan and several other terrans obtain a limited form of immortality, the cell shower.
1982 AD: Perry Rhodan is sent to the barkonids on their home planet far in the void between the galaxies. Encouraged by his visit, they start the final phase of their old project to turn their planet into a spaceship, and to fly back into the Milky Way.
2040 AD: The Solar Empire is founded. Atlan appears. After several fights, he and Perry Rhodan become friends.
2103 AD: Perry Rhodan obtains his cell activator.
2326 AD: IT spreads 25 cell activators across the galaxy and destroys Wanderer to flee from the approaching swarm. The Suprahet threatens to awaken again, but is finally destroyed by remaining machines of the barkonids
2400 - 2406 AD: The halutan Icho Tolot appears and aids the terrans as they discover ancient solar transmitters that form a road to Andromeda. The terrans defeat the Masters of the Isle and learn about the lemurian empire. The planet Barkon is destroyed.
2512 AD: IT saves the shipwrecked terran Lotho Keraete. In the coming millenia, he is turned into a man made out of blue metal.
2909: During a crisis of the Solar Empire, four dictators obtain cell activators.
3430 - 3438 AD: The terrans learn about the manipulations of the cappins. The ganjasic cappin Ovaron becomes the friend of Perry Rhodan and later receives a cell activator. Pluto is destroyed during a battle against the takeric cappins as an intelligent weapon realises that it has been used for evil purposes and self-destructs.
3441 - 3443 AD: The swarm appears in the galaxy and spreads stupidity. A few immunes, as well as the cynos manage to retake the swarm and return it to it's original purpose.
3456 - 3458 AD: The battle between IT and Anti-IT reaches it's final turns. Anti-IT is banished into the "Nameless Zone" for breaking the rules several times.
3459 - 3460 AD: The Council of Seven, a multi-galaxy empire appoints Perry Rhodan to be the dictator of the Milky Way, who has no other option to accept, but works against the Council in secret. As a war against the Council seems to be unavoidable, Terra and Luna are teleported into a hidden system, but land in a far away galaxy by accident. The Solar Empire ceases to exist.
3585 AD: The Council of Seven is defeated. IT returns Terra and Luna into the Milky Way.
3586 - 3587 AD: The League of Free Terrans is founded. The loowers reappear and claim the Eye of Laire. UFOs appear in the galaxy and leak information about coming catastrophes for the Milky Way. As these catastrophes come by, both Armadans precautionary machines and the horde leader Amtranik mistake them for signs of the return of the garbeshian hordes. Armadans machines produce the orbiters, clones of seven pirates, to fight against the perceived hordes: all humanoids! Only Jen Salik, who for some reason obtained the powers of a Knight, can first appease the orbiters and then defeat Amtranik.
424 - 430 NGT: Seth-Apophis enslaves several individuals in the Milky Way. The strange Quiupu strifes to recreate something that he calls the Empire of Viruses. Perry Rhodan and Atlan are made into Knights of the Deep. The Galactikum is founded.
The Porleytans are freed from the artifacts that have become their prisons. The enigmatic Taurec appears. As the Empire of Viruses is completed, an incarnation of the rogue Cosmocrat Vishna appears and gains control of it. She draws earth and moon into the so-called Grey Corridor and sends the Seven Plagues. The strange shadow creature Chthon aids the Terrans against these plagues. Finally, the Terrans are incorporated into the Empire of Viruses.
Taurec, who reaches the deserted earth, meets Chthon, recognizes it as a part of himself and merges with it. He remembers his origin as a cosmocrat. He defeats Vishna and she turns to the side of the cosmocrats. They work together to repair some damage to the Moral Code and thus alarm the Forces of Chaos, who send V'Aupertir, the Lord of Elements and his Decalogue of Elements. Rhodan marries Gesil, an incarnation of Vishna.
A strange "Warner" sends his messages and says that the galaxy has to go a different, third way between Order and Chaos. Several of the Elements can be defeated or change sides. In an final, desperate act, Kazzenkatt, the Element of Direction, calls upon the Element of Darkness. This Element and the Empire of Viruses mostly neutralize each other in a strange battle. Kazzenkatt is drawn into the darkness and is presumably dead.
The Warner unveils himself as Sotho Tal Ker (soon shortened to Stalker), who claims to be an emissary of the SI ESTARTU. The Empire of Viruses split up into spaceships and offers them to the galacticians, many of whom suffer from a strange urge to leave the galaxy. Many of them head to ESTARTU, which is described by Stalker as a Paradise. The Lord of Elements is destroyed by a cosmocratic weapon. Perry Rhodan, Jen Salik and Atlan stop to serve the Cosmocrats, and Taurec banishes them from the local group of galaxies.
Stalker starts to teach the Upanishad, a mystical art of war, and starts to spread the philosophy of eternal conflict. However, he is replaced by the fierce Sotho Tyg Ian (Stygian) for his failure to spread the philosophy effectively. The two Sothos duel and Stygian emerges victorious, leaving Stalker behind as dead, but Stalker is saved and brought to a medical planet.
445 - 447 NGT: As the word spreads that "ESTARTU does not live here anymore", the warrior cult in ESTARTU and the Milky Way begins to crumble. Stalker reappears as Captain Ahab. The Nakks, a slug-like race from ESTARTU, confuse everyone with their enigmatic and opportunistic ways. One of them says: "There is no life except in Meekorah, for Tarkan, the Shrinking, only brings death". Rhodan and Atlan are allowed back in the Milky Way due to a sacrifice made by Salik.
448 NGT: The shattered SI ESTARTU is reformed, and the galaxy Hangay is transferred from the universe Tarkan into the "Standard-Universe". The shocks of this transmission cause a part of the Moral Code, the Cosmonucleotid DORIFER, to shut down, creating what will be called the Great Cosmic Catastrophe. A fleet of seven ships, the Tarkan Fleet, goes missing, with many immortals aboard.
approx 449 NGT: The One Hundred Years War begins. The Cantaro, humanoid cyborgs appear, and are enslaved by an individual that is very much later called Monos. Monos gains control over the galaxy with the aid of various masks.
approx 549 NGT: The Milky Way is "walled" by the Cantaro. The One Hundred Years War ends. Life standard in the Milky Way is reduced and clones are common. The Simusense Web is created on Terra. Strange phantoms start to steal cell activators.
approx 800 NGT: The Humanidrom, a titanic space station is built, bringing the planet that built it into financial ruin. It is later granted to the Nakks.
1143 - 1147 NGT: The Tarkan Fleet reappears after being held in stasis for almost 700 years. They join with rebels against the rule of the Cantaro, first outside, later inside the galactic walls. The phantoms strike more often to steal cell activators, for a total of 6 stolen activators. Monos reveals to be the son of Gesil and an unknown father. The Nakks join forces with the rebels, and Monos can be killed.
1169 - 1174 NGT: The Humanidrom becomes the seat of the Galacticum. IT reappears and commands the immortals to return the cell activators, believing that the 20.000 years IT gave them have passed. As it turns out, the phantoms that stole several cell activators were Nakks. IT gives the cell activators to linguids, a humanoid race that distinguished itself as capable peacemakers, but they turn into tyrants. Taurec is revealed to be the father of Monos and the source of IT's madness. The Nakks use the cell activators to heal IT and join IT. IT grants new cell activator chips to the old immortals and some new ones, including the strange humanoid Phillip. Two of the new cell activators find no bearers.
1200 - 1202 NGT: Two "Dead Zones", where no technology based on hyperspace functions, appear in the Milky Way, the first around the Solar System. Phillip reappears, along with him several members of his race, soon called Ennox. They are capable to enter the Dead Zone. After the first Dead Zone disappears, a second one shows up around Arkon. IT calls out for the "Mirror-Born", who shall be the bearers of the left-over cell activators. These are found in the twins Mila and Nadja Vandemar.
1206 - 1220 NGT: The Vandemar twins learn to utilize their psionic abilities. The terrans learn about the Arresum, the "other side of the universe", which is mostly dominated by the Abruse, a crystalline entity. Splinters of an Abruse space ship "infect" the planet Mars, which starts to crystallize. IT slows the process, which would over time affect the whole universe, but cannot stop it. The Hamamesh, a fish-like race appears and start building bazaars where they barter their wares for high-tech. These wares, despite being almost worthless, captivate their buyers, causing an addiction. In the Arresum, the Abruse is defeated by the Vandemar twins. The infected Mars is replaced by a planet from the Arresum, Trokan. The wares of the Hamamesh cease their captivating effect, and the Hamamesh return to their home galaxy Hirdobaan, saying that the galacticians can find more wares there. Billions of addicts start an oddysee to this galaxy. In Hirdobaan, a cosmocratic sporeship is created with the task to spread life in the Arresum. The addicts are healed. Rhodan is told that he has to enter the Bridge to Eternity, no matter how great the cost.
1222 - 1280 NGT: The arkonidean Crystal Empire is founded. After the rule of empress Ariga, who was assassinated, Gaumarol da Bostich ascends the throne as a mere figurehead. Many galactic races that are not of lemurian descent found the Forum Raglund, fearing the dominance of the two existing powers. Trokan is surrounded by a time lapse field, causing millions of years to pass during a year. Some immortals vanish.
1288 - 1289 NGT: As the time lapse field over Trokan ceases to exist, it reveals the civilization of the Herreach. A mushroom dome appears on Trokan and allows Perry Rhodan, Reginald Bull and Alaska Saedelaere to enter the Bridge to Eternity. They learn about something called the Coalition Thoregon. Goedda and her "children", cloned warriors, start an invasion of the Milky Way by command of a being named Shabazza. The Vandemar twins die during a mental fight against Goedda. During the fights agains Goedda, the Humanidrom is destroyed. Goedda can finally be defeated by luring her into the Central Black Hole, Dengejaa Uveso. The Nonggo, a member race of the Coalition, brings a "Heliotic Bulwark", a device which should allow transportation on a large scale, into the solar system, but due to sabotage, it malfunctions and explodes, stranding two city quarters in far galaxies. The orc-like Dscherro, brought to Terra by this malfunction along with their fortress ship GOUSHARAN, cause a huge devastation before GOUSHARAN can be destroyed. A heliote appears over Terra and brings the Terrans the Thoregon-Agenda. Terra officially joins the coalition. Emperor Bostich founds the new Galactikum on Arkon with the splendid city Mirkandol (Place of Meeting) as a first step to gain independence from his "advisors".
1290 - 1291 NGT: Shabazza is revealed to be a rogue shaper (a member race of the Coalition Thoregon) serving the cosmocratic servants Torr Samaho and Cairol the Second. These two command the Cosmic Factory MATERIA, tasked with the prevention of the Thoregon. To this end, Torr Samaho forces a battle with IT at Dengejaa Uveso. However, due to a timely warning by Lotho Keraethe, the new emisarry of IT, a temporary union of the mayor powers of the galaxy and the successful theft of some "Ultimate Matter", MATERIA can be destroyed, though Samaho survives. The Thoregon is successfully founded, but the cosmocrat Hismoon predicts a Millennium of Wars for it's members.
1303 - 1304 NGT: Bostich gets rid of his "advisors" and is now free to act. Several millions of mutants (people with psionic powers), the result of one of Monos' projects, appear. A mysterious being named Morkhero Seelenquell enthralls several people who usually die from an heart attack afterwards. Bostich forcefully expands his empire, and a first confrontation with Terra comes as he annects Hayok, a group of stars famous for it's industrial output. As the mutants learn that Monos' genetical program will cause them to die soon, they group together and found a city for their own. Bostich annects a terran colony, Ertrus, claiming the attack to be a retaliation. Zheobitt, an Ara (often called galactic medics) is tasked to heal the mutants. The mutants receive a mental call from a being that claims to be capable to heal them. Thinking it to be Morkhero, they gather enough power to call him to earth. The caller was Wrehemo Seelenquell, who has been robbed the Suit of Phantoms by his apprentice Morkhero (though Wrehemo had stolen it, too). He manages to control the mutants and track down Morkhero. On Arkon, he uses the Suit and the power of the mutants to become a super-intelligence: SEELENQUELL. He quickly enslaves the arkonid nobility, which has gathered to witness the foundation of the Divine Empire of Arkon. During a visit to Ertrus, Bostich is abducted by terrans and freed of SEELENQUELL's influence by Zheobitt. SEELENQUELL uses a robot to replace him and to declare war on Terra, which is swiftly taken by the arkonids and their surprise allies, the Posbi robots, who are enthralled, to. Mayor tactical blunders by SEELENQUELL allow the free galacticians to achieve several successes, among them the killing of Morkhero, as Zheobitt believes he can utilize his genome to heal the remaining mutants. Bostich obtains his cell activator from Lotho Keraete, but is warned that some of his plans are pure hybris. Zheobitt manages to heal the mutants without Morkhero's genetic information, but they loose their powers in the process. The allied galacticians free Terra and Ertrus and then turn to Arkon, utilizing a biological mass made from Morkheros genome to syphon away his power, as he couldn't stabilize himself. The mutants from whom he had drawn some of his power remained, although weakened, as an incorporeal sphere.
1311 NGT: Rhodan fights diplomatically for the return of Hayok to the LFT. Within Hayok, a star window opens to a galaxy 388 light years away, and a ship emerges from it. It' most important passenger, Trah Rogue, claims Terra and the LFT for the Realm Tradom, which is revealed to be another Thoregon. During a battle, a fleet composed of both arkonid and terran ships barely manages to destroy Rogue's ship, although he escapes. An invasion of more battleships of Tradom is prevented by the intervention of rebels against the Realm, making the star window a one-way gate for an unknown timespan, though seven ships manage to slip through the star window and reunite with Trah Rogue. Perry Rhodan and the arkonid admiral Ascari da Vivo travel to Tradom aboard their respective flagships to meet with the rebels.
). In this thread, I will post overviews of the universe and answer questions regarding it (if any questions come at all 
) with manipulated life spores. It's very existence threatened the structure of the universe as it strived to unite Arresum and Parresum (the two sides of the universe).
