Terra Firma Fleet Timeline

This is the timeline of events leading up to "Dragon Flight: Renegade".

The Timeline
2055 - Humanity has explored all of the solar system with manned and unmanned missions

2058 - The first human offworld colony is completed on the northern continent of the surface of Mars. Basic and manned only by a group od scientists, it begins to terra form a small section of the planet under a small dome to grow plants and support life. Journey time, Earth to Mars: 2 months.

2075 -Hyperspace field generator designed by Dr Arthur Monroe at the institute of interstellar travel, North Carolina.

2077 - Hyperspace field generator successfully tested on a specially modified shuttle vessel. Journey time, Earth to Pluto: 2 Minutes

2080 - First ships equiped with the hyperspace field generator finish construction and leave dry dock, Centauri Prime, Mars orbiter station.

2091 - Terra Firma Fleet begin active duty, patrolling and resupplying all the colonies within our solar system. First deep space missions beyond our solar system also take place in this year.

2101 - Artificial Inteligence experiments and research achieve their greatest ever milestone: The ability for computers and A.I. to experience emotions. Emotional awareness programming applied to all top of the range robots, and upgrades are made available for older models.

2108 – After years of successfull application, the emotion programming begins to break down, and affects the robots systems. The older models crash, their brogramming being deleted and shutting down. The older models cannot deal with the amount of sensory information being processed, and their ethical programming gets deleted. The robots riot. Thousands of humand die over the next few years before the robots can be deactivated.

2135 – The last robot with the emotion upgrade is destroyed.

2136 – The high court passes a bill, outlawing all research and development of emotionally conscious robots. All artificial inteligence is to be monitored and limited. No robot is ever allowed to reach a sentient state of mind. No robot is allowed to appear human in form. Any robot found with this ability is to be destroyed.

2149 – First human colony founded beyond our solar system on the planet Aurora-7. New minerals and metals discovered. Mining begins shortly after settlement completion.

2152 – First of a new class of star ship, constructed using the new metals, leaves Centauri Prime dry dock.

2245 – Present day.
