- -559 IE, June 30th: Operation Scorched Earth concludes. Hundreds of antimatter warheads from Coalition warships strike Earth’s most populated areas. The remaining Earth Commonwealth forces activate Plan Foxtrot October (Final Option), unleashing their own antimatter weapon arsenal on Coalition settlements across the solar system, to include the Coalition capital on Mars.
- -559, September 15th: Final tally determined by surviving forces concludes that nearly 96% of the human race has been killed in the final battle. Grim estimates by researchers and biologists determine that Earth’s ecosystem has been crippled beyond recovery and will reach total un-inhabitability within the decade. Mass population relocations are planned as remaining leadership on both sides determine a course of action for the survivors.
- -559 IE, December 8th: The survivors of humanity across the Solar System are consolidated into the Emergency Unified Government. The first goal as stated by EUG leadership is to construct interstellar colony ships and send as many people as it can to settle suspected habitable exoplanets as determined by long-range observation.
- -547 IE, March 9th: The ECS Victoria is launched from the Unified L4 Shipyards around Earth orbit as the first colony ship of the Exodus, directed towards the star Tau Ceti.
- -428 IE (2468 AD), March 11th: The first colony ship of the Exodus (ECS Victoria) arrives at the Tau Ceti star system after a 119-year journey from Sol (traveling at 10% of the speed of light).
- -428 IE, August 20th: After an extensive five-month exploration and survey mission of the fifth planet of Tau Ceti, the first official settlement begins, along with the naming of the planet (New Victoria).
- -422 IE, November 5th: The American-built ECS Liberty arrives at the Delta Pavonis system. Observations of the third planet’s habitability seem promising for potential settlement.
- -391 IE, March 13th: The ECS Changzheng settles a habitable world at considerable distance from the other established colonies. The world of Changzheng will become the focal point of the future People's Sino-Colonial Union.
- -302 IE, February 22nd: Astrophysicist and shipwright Dr. Brian McDaniels unveils his prototype of the first time/space warp drive, claiming of being the first device developed that can propel ships beyond the speed of light.
- -301 IE, April 1st: The first time/space warp drive-equipped spacecraft, the Icarus, is launched and subsequently tested, sending the craft towards the American-colony of Providence. The Icarus warps out and disappears completely.
- -301 IE, September 30th: The second ship equipped with the now-patented McDaniels warp drive, named the Daedalus, is launched for its first test flight (based on McDaniels’ own refinements). The system’s power-plant (based on antimatter) overloads and destroys the vessel before warp is ever achieved.
- -300 IE, January 1st: The third time/space warp vessel built by Brian McDaniels, named Third Time’s The Charm, is launched and tested. It too, disappears without a trace.
- -300 IE, October 1st: The fourth (and final) test craft built by Dr. McDaniels, named Final Prayer, is launched and tested. The ship emerges at its destination as intended after a mere journey of six months, traveling some eight light years.
- -291 IE, January 2nd: The Third Time’s The Charm mysteriously emerges from warp in New Columbia orbit, several years after its intended arrival. A miscalculation to the fractions of a decimal point in the navigational system with relation to power input are suspected to be the cause. Unintendedly proves that time/space warp can be variable based on the energy supply.
-0 IE, January 1st (2896 AD): Formal establishment of the Interstellar Commonwealth, as ratified by forty-two settled star systems, to include the creation of the Interstellar Era calendar.
-512 IE, July 8th: New Hong Kong is officially annexed by the Interstellar Commonwealth from the People’s Sino-Colonial Union.
-536 IE, August 20th: Yumi Hoshino (protagonist of Patrol Girl) is born on New Hokkaido.
-560 IE (3456 AD): The present year.

Timeline detailing the history of the Patrol Girl setting. Will add more dates of importance as time permits. <Update>: Added some history on Brian McDaniels and the somewhat humorous development cycle of the time/space warp drive.

Truly a wonderful time-line. Have you thought about writing a full book based on it. I am wondering if the ships that disappeared, are simply lost in time or space due to the calculation errors. Great work and best of luck in your future endeavors. Cheers.
PS: Do you have any renderings of the colony ships.
