(All names and places have been translated to English for ease of reading.)

1 - The Raion Consortium is formed, uniting all the various Aetanii clans into a parliamentary republic, and the date is set to 1 to commemorate the event. (Roughly three thousand years before the founding the Rin Empire.)

72 - The Consortium Stellar Agency is founded.

212 - The Consortium launches her first starship, the Wayfarer, into orbit.

314 - The first superluminal drive is tested. It works by bending space, becoming the prototype for the Consortium's voidspace method of transit.

617 - Every planet and moon within the Aetan system is colonized, and all produce contributions to the welfare of the Consortium.

623 - The first Consortium warship, the Tempest, is launched from an orbital shipyard over Aetan. The reason for this is the sighting of a potentially unfriendly alien contact, moving through the edges of the system. Unbeknownst to the Consortium, this is a scout vessel of the Kravyad Federation, a long-standing galactic empire composed of three species: the Rakshasa, the Vanaras, and the Mara.

678 - True first contact is made, between the Raion Consortium and the Neko Syndicate. Fortunately, the Neko and Aetanii speak essentially the same language, with both comparing the other to having a strong but understandable accent. The Neko (a race of cat-humanoids) bargain with the Aetanii: technology for exclusive sales rights over the next hundred years. The Aetanii agree.

692 - The Aetanii, with the aid of Neko scientists, develop their first weaponized pulse technology. However, they still rely on lasers for their primary offensive weapon. Shiro&Gin Arms Works is founded.

723 - The first Premier of the Consortium, Himeko Ariwara, dies of a heart defect at eight thousand six hundred and nintey-two years of age. Premier Kazuko Erizawa is elected to succeed her, a "young" Aetanii of only eight hundred years.

778 - The trade agreement between the Consortium and the Syndicate ends.

779 - Consortium space is violated by a starship of unknown origin: a Type I Vishnu-class dreadnought under the control of the Kravyad Federation. The first Great Stellar War begins in the winter of 779.

780 - The Consortium and her Syndicate allies drive the Federation from the Regulus system after a large battle over Aetan; the debris from the battle is immediately scrapped and used to construct more starships.

Spring, 782 - The war continues. The Consortium makes huge advances into enemy territory, but find themselves unable to compete with the Federation without Syndicate help: their ships are not yet powerful enough, as their technology is not on par. The Battle for Avidich is fought, and the still-new second Consortium battlefleet is crushed by their opponents, before the Syndicate ships manage to drive them off. Premier Kazuko Erizawa is killed in the combat, and is later found and buried with full military honors.

Summer, 782 - The Consortium reimagines their political system to deal with the war, creating a constitutional monarchy. Admiral Madoka Ashikaga is chosen to become the Queen Mother, the Kōtaigo.

Fall, 782 - The Shinsei-class battlecruiser is developed, the first Consortium warship to rely on pulse batteries as her main armament. Lasers are relegated to anti-starfighter duties. The Hikari-class fighter is developed as well, along the same principles.

783 - The first Great Stellar War ends with the Second Battle of Avidich, where the Shinsei-class battlecruiser Setsuna heroically rammed the bridge of the commanding Federation dreadnought, killing the Prime of the Federation and ending the battle. The Federation cedes much of its territory to the Neko and the Aetanii as reparations.

785 - Madoka Ashikaga commissions the Setsura, the flagship of the Consortium and personal command of the Queen Mother.

1387 - Setsura is, after many delays (mostly due to having to build the rest of the Consortium fleet), completed. Kōtaigo Ashikaga seals the Consortium's borders to all but the Neko.

1387-181,342 - During these years, several Kōtaigo come and go. The Consortium gradually forms into what it looks like today, though the process is known only to them. During this period, two more Great Stellar Wars are fought between the Consortium and the Federation, resulting in seven-eighths of the galaxy coming under their control.

181,342 - Contact is made between an unknown alien vessel and the Setsura. This vessel turns out to be an Inquisitorial ship, a scout of the Rin Empire. Kōtaigo Hana Sakurai warns the Rin to leave their space, and violate it no further.

181,342 - The first operational STRAIN model, the Byakushiki, is tested.

181,343 - The first Aetanii-Imperial War begins. The Consortium fights to keep their vibrant worlds from being settled by the locust-like Rin.

181,344 - The first Aetanii-Imperial War ends, with the Rin forced to retreat completely from the galaxy.

181,355 - The Rin Empire returns to Consortium space, this time with their planet-killers and massive battelships. The second Aetanii-Imperial War begins.

181,358 - The Rin Empire's Minotaur-class "super ship" (of an unknown name to the Consortium) is destroyed by the Shizuka's resonance array, a Teikoku-class Grand Star Dreadnought. Once their primary warship is lost, the Rin retreat, and a treaty is signed preventing them from inhabiting any worlds within the Black Eye galaxy. The second Aetanii-Imperial War ends, though constant skirmishing between the Consortium and the Empire continues to the present day.

187,745-present (circa. 2520, Terran calendar) - Contact is made between the Terran Alliance and the Raion Consortium, under Sōzokujin ("Heir") Kurenai Saromi and Commodore Glochk.
