Campaign:SBRD/Library/History Human

This page will present two parallel timelines: the first a listing of major events in the history of the Human species, the second column more narrowly focused on the history of Riftrim/Reavers' Deep Sector and Daibei Sector, as the primary area for adventure in the SBRD campaign setting.

Time scale will be in Terran BC/AD dating and occasionally in Vilani BV/VI dating, as those are the primary dating systems in use in this campaign setting. The Terran scale is based on years of 365 days of 24 hours each, with occasional adjustments by addition of Leap Days; the Vilani scale is based on years of 486 days of 24 hours each. (Note: to convert to Imperial dating that will someday be used in the Third Imperium, simply take the Terran year and subtract 4518, as both scales use the same years and days, and the Imperial Year Zero was 4518 AD.)

The Wolves they experimented on with extensive genetic alterations, uplifting them to create a new sentient species, the Vargr.

Approx 300,000 BC: The Ancients planted colonies of Humans on at least 20 worlds within this region, resulting in multiple variant Human species; prominent examples are the
