Soooo following on to my other post on the Reflection Universe had a play with timelines
-Y1100 A powerful Vulcan merchant, sick of the continuing fighting on his homeworld secretly commissions a small fleet and leaves the home system for a new start, eventually settling on the twin planets of Romulus and Remus. The Vulcans (and Romulans) have Non-Tactical Warp spaceflight from at least this time. The remaining Vulcan's care little for their deaprture and continue their incessant warring
-Y1010 Austus Tal, head of the newly formed Romulan Corporate Council completes the process of creating a society based on trade and exploration.
-Y997 Kahless begins is rise to power on the Klingon homeworld. The Klingons are in the “horse and broadsword” period (and have been for two thousand years).
-Y942 Kahless unites the entire planet of Klinshai into a single empire before being killed by his jealous wife who establishes a short lived but bloody rule..
-Y274 The Romulan Tsu-Sar Corpotation take the Klingons into their service as starship crews and guards. The cloaking device is perfected, allowing Romulan ships to escape primitive but warlike races when threatened. The technology proves dangerous to unprotected other species
-Y117 Seltorian revolt in the Tholian Home Galaxy M81. Most Tholians are wiped out but some escape in various directions. Most go to the nearby M82 Galaxy Two groups (a small Dyson sphere and the 312th Battle Squadron) head for the Milky Way Galaxy. Seltorians later send expeditions to other
galaxies to hunt down and destroy the last of the Tholians.
-Y100 Following years of war, enhanced humans take over Earth and begin to construct a new Empire, which they pattern on the ancient Chinese Empire, dividing the world into continent sized States, each controlled by a Emperor. Almost immediately they each attempt to subvert each other. Human Ministers carry out the day to day running of the Empire. Further creation of enhanced humans is banned so as not to provide new threats to the New Order.
-Y94 Conflict between competing Romulan corporations causes several crisis over the next century with several Council Heads being assassinated. The revised position is limited to a single two-year term by Romulan law.
-Y70 Brutal repressions result in a series of rebellions that see the few remaining enhanced Emperors overthrown and killed. A series of "pure" human Emperors take control and begin to rebuild the world, using enhanced scientists to perfect various forms of technology. All known traces of the enhancement technology are destroyed.
-Y60 A devastating plague sweeps through the Romulan race and results in a severe economic crisis felt throughout the Conglomerate. The Romulans begin to withdraw from the rest of the galaxy, having discovered that the plague was brought in from a alien world. They continue to perfect their cloaking device, hoping to continue exploration without dealing with other races. Tsu-Sar suffers a massive collapse and returns their Klingon starship crews to Klinshai (and other starship crews to their own home planets), abandoning some of their obsolete or inoperative equipment in various locations.
Y1 Gift of the Gods
First contact between the Celestial Empire occurs when a Romulan exploratory cruiser with a dying crew of plague struck drops out of warp in the Sol system. Its subsequent capture allows the Humans develop what will be known as Fast Warp and enhances their already powerful weapon systems. Enhaced Scienists are defrosted to reverese engineer the Alien technology
Y2 Klingons build chemical-energy rocket boosters and primitive space capsules, and use these to reach the obsolete ships left in their system by the Romulans. Within a few years, the
Klingons have been able to make some of the old ships operational.
Y4 The Celestial Empire conquers the remnants of the Vulcans and encounters the the Andorians, Alpha-Centaurans and Rigellians, beginning a multitude of conflicts which over the following decades will see the other races conquered by humanity.
Y8 Klingons, using star maps drawn by the last of the Klingons who served on ships of the Romulans
conquer the Dunkars and begin to use them as subject race crewmen,
Y10 Klingons conquer the Vergarians
Y12 After an unsuccessful fleet-wide mutiny by Vergarian crewmen, the Klingons execute all Vergarians on their ships, bombard Vergar (reducing it to the stone age). Vergarians are not allowed into space for decades, and the planet is forced to pay huge tributes to the Empire. Klingon Emperor Belak-Kyn relishes his role in subjugating the Vergarians.
Y17 The Klingons are able to reverse-engineer the abandoned ships and produce their own primitive starships. Unlike the Romulan ships the Klingons inherited, the new ships are patterned on a predatory marine reptile found in the oceans of the Klingon homeworld.
Y21 The Celestial Empire encounters the Orions, a smaller star-faring culture on their border who appear to immediately submit to their emissaries.
Y38 First Lyran-Klingon War begins. While few details are known, it is clear that both have been expanding for some time from their respective homeworlds. While these expansions were not at the same rate in each direction, this was the first contact either race had with a military capable spacefaring race.
Y42 Lyran-Klingon War ends when several Lyran counties abandon the war to protect their homes from the Hydrans. Lyrans are forced to accept an unfavourable settlement.
Y43 Lyrans defeat Hydran invasion, but reach negotiated settlement rather than continue the war. First Lyran-Hydran War ends.
Y48 Lyrans, trying to outflank the Klingons by moving around the WYN cluster, run into the previously unknown Kzintis. The first Lyran-Kzinti War breaks out almost immediately and ends eight years later (Y56) with both races suffering devastation of their thinly settled worlds in the region.
Y62 First cruiser capable of Combat Warp is launched by the Celestial Empire, as the fleet expands
Y63 Klingons convert the first of their sublight war cruisers to use Combat Warp and disruptors.
Y66 Gorns develop Combat Warp power, but their ships are still armed with sublight weapons (atomic missiles - Drones and lasers). The conflict between the Gorns and Paravians begins
Incidents erupt along Hydran-Klingon border. Klingons want settlement rights on oxy-nitrogen planets in Hydran territory; Hydrans want the same rights on Klingon methane worlds - neither will comprimise.
Y67 Gorns begin an all out war following increasing Paravian raids. Most Gorn ships have already been upgraded with new developed Combat Warp and begin receiving plasma bolt refits at forward bases. Using this decisive advantage, the Gorns quickly destroy virtually every unrefitted Paravian ship. The Gorn devestate their enemies and descend upon their world, killing and devouring them.
Second Lyran-Hydran War begins.
Y71 Second Lyran-Hydran War ends when improved Hydran weapons (e.g., nova cannon) give them a decisive advantage over the Lyrans.
Y76 Klingons, expanding their territory to the Galactic Rim, encounter the Vudar, and later absorb them into the Empire under special semiautonomous conditions. The Klingons launch the D4 class cruisers, the first designed from the keel up to include Combat Warp. The Lyrans, Hydrans, and Kzintis follow suit with their own ships of this type.
Y79 Tholians arrive in our galaxy and enslave the local Klingon colony as they look for new resources to exploit. First of several vicious border wars lasts two years, causing heavy losses among the Klingon ships (who cannot fight the new technology effectively). Tholians wipe out three minor Klingon colonies, the
largest of which is Kalesta. The Klingons will forever after regard the Tholians as “foreign invaders.” The shame of having a part of the Empire occupied by a foreign power will stain the honor of the warrior class forever.
Y85 First contact between the Klingons and Celestial Empire results in a skirmish which escalates into a series of battles before outright war is declared
