Freelancer Timeline

[Klaw117]

After playing Starlancer, I have found new info about the War of Sol timeline.

Early 2100s-2160: The states that make up the Coalition sign the Unification Pact and become the Eastern Coalition. They begin demanding their own colonies and the Alliance begins a policy of appeasement in hopes that the Coalition will stop with their demands if they are satisfied. Eventually, limited conflicts begin, but not large enough to start a full-fledged war. The Coalition soons becomes equal to the Alliance in strength.

2160: The War of Sol begins when the signing of the Balma Treaty, which was meant to end the colonial conflicts, turns into a bloodbath as Admiral Kulov ruthlessly attacks unsuspecting Alliance fleets with his own cloaked fleet. Fort Kennedy on Jupiter's moon Europa is destroyed, along with the French and Italian fleets. Remaining Alliance fleets retreat to Neptune's moon Triton. Planetary resistance against the Coalition begin, but are suppressed. The Coalition gains control of every planet except Neptune and Dwarf Planet Pluto.

2160-2162: Events of Starlancer. The Alliance recover the outer gas planets and the Coalition retreats. Admiral Kulov and several Coalition aces are killed. Coalition ace casualties outweigh the Alliance ace casualties.

2162-2200: The Alliance pushes the Coalition back to Planet Mercury (as shown in the Freelancer intro), but soon, the Coalition regain the upper hand and pushes the Alliance all the way to Jupiter. By the late 2190s, the Alliance knows they cannot win, so they send colonists, along with historical items (maybe the Declaration of Independence, etc. It makes sense for the Alliance to want to preserve this) to the neighboring Sirius Sector in the Exodus of the Sleeper Ships. In a few months, the Alliance is pushed back to Pluto. In the final battle, the Nomads show up and completely destroy Sol. The Sirius Sector becomes the last remnants of humanity.

I know this thread is almost dead, but if a moderator/admin finds this, please add in the info.
