Timeline

Unknown Milennia Ago

 * The First seals the Five Darkborn via an unknown method behind seals across the galaxy. These seals required monitoring, with groups like the Sunborn eventually being responsible for maintaining them.

Pre-Vector

 * Heroes, with names lost to time, sought to prevent the release of the Oden Vector, only to be betrayed and the Virus unleashed. Or so the stories say.

0 AOV (After Oden Vector)

 * Coruscant and Dromund Kaas are said to be Ground Zero.
 * By some stoke of luck or plotting, the tales say that the Galactic Senate were convened at the behest of the Supreme Chancellor. It was at this point that the Vector hit, wiping out Republic Command within hours.
 * The Sith, similarly, had the Sith command structure in place to plot their strategies against this new enemy. All perish in minutes as the virus strikes Kaas City.
 * The chaos that followed saw countless records lost, so the true extent of the butchery is unknown.

C.0 AOV

 * Tek'rit IX is hit by a cruiser carrying the Oden Vector
 * Kei-yon Sarda and his Apprentice fall in the aftermath, sealing the impact site off from the rest of the world.
 * Ood-Rada becomes the suspected last of the Sunborn, going into hibernation above his Master's grave in an effort to keep the city hidden.

Unknown AOV

 * A galaxy-wide quarantine is released and enforced.
 * Galactic Republic collapses.
 * Reborn Empire formed
 * New Hutt Empire established.

500 AOV

 * The Quarantine is lifted following an automated message released to all planets, the method of doing so still not understood.

Post-500 AOV

 * Holy Principate of the Rim founded.
 * Noble Union declared.
 * Bothan Protectorate declares neutrality
 * Followed by Ciutric Hegemony, Corporate Alliance and Hapes Consortium.

509 AOV

 * Mantellian Triumvirate formed as a union of Mantellians, Aleena and Patitites.
 * Aleena Leader: Bachucho
 * Mantellian Leader: Oko Dever
 * Patitite Leader: Kai Zhu

531 AOV

 * Mantellian Outreach Corps founded.

561 AOV

 * Ottega Sector joins the Triumvirate.

570 AOV

 * Ithorians chosen to join the Council of the Mantellian Triumvirate, now renamed the Tetrarchy.
 * Their leader, Turujen, becomes their first Tetrarch.

Skirmish at Neleron

 * On this planet within the 'Tri-Contested Zone', three agents of the Mantellian Tetrarchy launch on assault on the Detention facility with the goal of rescuing a captured pilot - Tracer. During the operation, they encounter Mandalorian forces, confirming their expansion, and their own commander is captured in the final moments before they escape.

Mission to Tek'rit IX

 * Following the Skirmish above, the group are absorbed into the wider Mantellian Outreach Corps, and assigned an observation mission on Tek'rit IX - apparently dealing with riffraff called the Ragescale Raiders.
 * Soon, the party learns there is more than that at hand, the Ragescale have entirely taken over the settlement, and are far more organised than suggested.
 * Infiltrating the group, the party uncover ancient secrets, vials and a treasure trove of old battle droids. Sadly, they have to destroy this trace of history to keep it from the Raiders hands. A survivor grows sick, and it appears that the vials uncovered contain residue of an ancient weaponized virus, concerning the group.
 * Passing this information along, the group are reassigned as saboteurs - prevent any further extravagant technology from reaching their hands. Find out their motivations and routes, then take them down before they become a sector wide threat.
 * A delegation of Darkstar Chaoticians arrives in pursuit of Qwori, but are swiftly handled by the group and a mysterious new ally.
 * After several weeks of infiltration, the Battle for Jiuroctown occurs, leading to the elimination of the Ragescale Raiders and the death of their leader Jiuroc.
