Timeline

A Timeline is a listing of significant historical events within the setting, in this case, the OTU.

• The specific chronological periodization used varies between the term era and mileu. Sometimes mileu is pluralized the French language way as Mileux rather than with the standard Anglic method of pluralization.

Description (Specifications)

The broad sweep of history is divided, roughly, into TEN eras. These eras are largely based upon the rise and fall of Humaniti and their empire of the stars. While other races, particularly the other Major Races, may have a differing division of eras, the Imperial Encyclopedia uses the Humaniti-centric one.
