1999.341 (December 7, 999)

Minor Update
I've finally fixed the Privateer 2 dates once and for all -- I extracted all the Database entries from Privateer 2, which confirm that the year is certainly 2790.

1999.308 (November 3, 1999)

v.041 Update
I've added internal links to the html version of the timeline, to allow for quicker navigation. The format has been changed a bit too, so it looks nicer. Other than that, a few minor Pilgrim Stars related updates...

- 2625 & 2628 added.

1999.304 (October 30, 1999)

v.04 Update
A certain date has been discovered for Privateer 2! The previous versions of the timelines used 2795 -- but it has now been proven that the game takes place in 2789. Therefore, all Privateer 2 related entries have been moved back six years. In addition, there have been a few more minor updates. For research purposes an appendix has been added containing a table showing the dates for each Wing Commander product. It can be reached here.

Important: I'd like people's opinion on this -- should the Secret Ops 'lost fiction' be considered canon? If so, it would a new entry for 2607 in the current timeline.

- 1940.169 and 2462 updated.
- 1998.271 and 2633x2 added.
- 7210 BC, 210 BC, 790, 2170, 2234, 2323, 2353, 2370 and 2490 changed.

Here We Go...
Well, this is the first of three expected installments of the Combat Information Center's Wing Commander Timeline. The timeline will be released over the course of the next month in three sections: the pre-war era, the war era and the post-war era. The longest and most interesting will be the war era, although the section released today, pre-war, covers the most actual time.

This portion of the timeline pretty much clears up a lot of confusing regarding the development of the jump drive, for both the human and Kilrathi histories.

There are still a few odd points, which probably need further explanation. You will notice that all Privateer 2 related items seem unusual, mainly because Privateer 2 treats the Tri-System as having a seprate human culture which evolved much earlier. There is also some strangeness relating to Admiral Wilson's birth, which is listed as having happened in the last 25th century.

Thanks go out to the rest of the CIC Staff, especially Hadrian, who did the graphics and Byydo, who rushed off at the last minute to get some information from Privateer for me.
