====== Full Chronology ======
The history of the "Last Days" universe is rich in events. Humanity's dreams of a better future without wars, chaos and conflicts were shattered by the harsh reality, where the world's most powerful people care more about their own comfort than about the well-being of humanity. And the entire planet paid for it, twice: first the Event, and then the World War III, also known as the Last War.

===== Time System =====
In the post-war world, a new calendar gained popularity, which counted from the Event, the destruction of the Moon. Two abbreviations are used to denote dates: B.E. (before the Event) and A.E. (after the Event). Among the survivors, the old Gregorian calendar has long since lost its relevance, but most people have kept count. That the Event took place in 1976 A.D. is not a forgotten fact, and even if so, it can easily be verified from sources of the past era.

In addition to the above, people use the division of the timeline into the so-called "Old World" and "New World". The separator between these two eras is the end of the Last War in 3 A.E., when nuclear bombs changed everything forever. The term "good old days" (or "good ol' days") is also commonly used to refer to the time before O.I. foundation in 17 B.E. in a nostalgic context.

===== The Old World =====
==== Prelude ====
**< September 2nd, 31 B.E. / 1945 A.D.: World War II, now called Second Great War, is over. >**

**< Humanity begins to dream of a better future. >**

==== Rise of Mr. History ====
**< Daniel [Flanagan?], born in [March 11th, 50 B.E. / 1926 A.D.? in Ireland] and moved to the U.S.A. as a teenager, named himself Mr. History. >**

**< [June 4th?], 24 B.E. / 1952 A.D.: Mr. History created the first prototype of The Huggatron. >**

**< Mr. History studies Materialized Null-Particles along with his inventions. Where and how he found them is unknown. >**

**< Theory: as Null-Engineers say, Null-Engineering is helping to see the world more clearly. Perhaps this is how Mr. History saw patterns that no one else had thought of, and based on this, he created The Huggatron and other small inventions. >**

**< [October 7th, 18 B.E. / 1958 A.D.?]: Mr. History presented The Huggatron to a series of wealthy and powerful men. >**

**< [January 12th], 13 B.E. / 1963 A.D.: Mr. History paid off all of the investments plus interest and protected O.I. autonomy for good. >**

**< Theory: Mr. History cheated by using primitive Quantum Engineering. Thanks to this, the company survived.>**

==== Technological advancements ====
**< [May 28th, 10 B.E. / 1966 A.D.?]: O.I. released The Huggatron v2. >**

**< [November 2nd, 10 B.E. / 1966 A.D.?]: Mr. History created teleportation beacons for supplies and T.V.s and announced Quantum Engineering. >**

**< Fission and fussion materials on Earth were starting to dwindle. (insignificant information, one sentence for the following: ) At first, O.I. on [May 19th, 9 B.E. / 1967 A.D.?] announced Solar Energy Collection Fields, but it was ineffective. >**

**< Then, on [August 4th, 9 B.E. / 1967 A.D.?]: O.I. announced first In-The-Box system and Antenna Facilities. >**

**< [July 21st?], 8 B.E. / 1968 A.D.: O.I. announced about flight to the Moon. >**

**< October 30th, 8 B.E. / 1968 A.D.: O.I. landed on the Moon. Astronauts phrase: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for the whole World!" >**

**< [December 13th?], 8 B.E. / 1968 A.D.: O.I. opened its testing center on the Moon. >**

==== "Golden" Age ====
**< "Golden" Age is between [December 13th?], 8 B.E. and August 6th, 0 A.E. >**

**< O.I. began mining helium-3, testing and selling nuclear weapons to superpowers, making military and civilian robots and etc. Humanity began to fear a potential war. >**

**< O.I. begins to recycle the waste that, ironically, they themselves created. >**

**< [November 21st?], 7 B.E. / 1969 A.D.: O.I. started to build H.I.V.E.. >**

**< [January 17th, 6 B.E. / 1970 A.D.?]: M.R.G. was created for easier H.I.V.E. building. >**

**< ... [5 B.E. / 1971 A.D.?]: Orbital's revenues exceeded the gross domestic product of any country ... >**

**< [April 19th?], 4 B.E. / 1972 A.D.: In one T.V. show, in an episode criticizing O.I., the word "Belly" is used for the first time in the context of the Moon. >**
