Hey everyone.
I'm currently working on a huge mega-timeline for the entire Anargo Sector, including everything from the arrival of the Emperor's armies in the Great Crusade, to the rise of Warlord Morzkraga.
Obviously, this is going to be a lot of work, and obviously I'm going to need your help. I need you all to give me any very important dates connected to your creations. For world builders, this means I'll definitely need the year your world was first colonised by humans. A lot of the worlds in the Anargo sector (like Proteus, Anargo and Archaios) were colonised before the Age of the Imperium. A lot of other worlds were colonised after the Horus Heresy.
If there have been any major events on your world worth mentioning, I'll need this as well. This will such things as the major Dark Eldar attack on Nagoma that threatened the entire planet, the natural disasters that laid Sistina to waste, and so on.
If any of you have any other important dates that might be useful for me, such as important events for the Eldar in the Anargo sector, or the Atlanteans, or... well, anything, let me know about those as well.
In a few days, I'll post a draft for the time-line. Just need some help from you guys, and some time to dig through the vast history threads.

Erm... hello!? Do people not want a finished timeline? I'm surprised that people are unwilling to help, considering that many of you have had questions relating to the timeline. Like when some of you tried to coordinate events on your worlds with the founding of Frost Bringers, ork Waaagh!s, the colonisation of nearby worlds, the Age of Apostasy events and so on. So, help me help you If not, I'll just wander off and work on my hopeless fiction

I have nothing to contribute at the moment, but I doubt anyone's noticed your thread. I'd suggest stickying it but that doesn't seem to help either. Maybe email things like this around the group to get it the attention it needs?

Well the thing is that Quechit hasnt made a major impact on Anargo history, I mean they send out medical personell and equipment mostly.
Maybe a notable thing could be that they liberated themself before they encountered the Imperial Army during the Great Crusade.

998 M31 Harans world was founded 198 M32 All contact was lost with the colony, the ship sent to investigate found the planet had suffered a global climate shift and was now totally ice bound. 198 M35 Harans world was recolonised by a retireing imperial guard regiment, the planet was renamed Seleca III 552 M37 Refugees from the old Selecan homeworld begin to arrive.
337 M37 The ATC (Anexal Trade Cartel) recieves the go ahead to begin mining operations on Proculus Alpha sanctioned by the administratum. 899 M37 Somthing is discovered beneath the ice. It turns out to be an installation dating back to before the age of strife. The Adeptus Mechanicus are informed, and send out a reaserch team to investigate.
244 M31 Kolkhoz is founded. 557 M34 Seleca Prime is invaded by orks, weapons are used that leave the world scarred and almost uninhabitable.

Maybe email things like this around the group to get it the attention it needs? Perhaps you're right. I would have put it in the Meta-forum or the World-building forum, but I suspect Kage or Destecado would object. Ah well. I'll give it some more time. People seem to have woken up after my last post Well the thing is that Quechit hasnt made a major impact on Anargo history, I mean they send out medical personell and equipment mostly. That's perfectly alright. I just need the years of any major events that were significant for Quechit, if not the rest of the sector. When it was first colonised, when it was brought into the Imperium, any major wars or disasters, etc. Liberated themselves from whom, and when? What's up with that putting your post like that? They're listing all the important events on their world, which is what I wanted them to do. I suggest that you do the same Thank you Zholud and Dazo for your list. Feel free to give me more important events as you continue developing your world. The more detailed time-line we have, the easier it will be to make a coherent history of the Anargo sector. One question though, Zholud. Why wasn't Meksum catalogued before M32? After the Horus Heresy? Remember that the Alpha Legion and the Emperor's armies plowed through most of the sector in the Great Crusade. Why? And demi-martyr minoris sounds kind of... insignificant. I guess there have been a lot of those up through the millennia. Perhaps it would be better to only name saints and demi-saints?

I didnt mean that, I meant to say that the post looked f*#ked up, it had to be read from up to down...but now it's ok again..perhaps it was a glitch on the board or my pc or something.

Thank you Zholud and Dazo for your list. Feel free to give me more important events as you continue developing your world. You’re welcome. I will add more details when I can see general picture… I intentionally had just a few dates to shift forth or back in time if necessary. One question though, Zholud. Look closer, there are two questions Why wasn't Meksum catalogued before M32? After the Horus Heresy? Remember that the Alpha Legion and the Emperor's armies plowed through most of the sector in the Great Crusade. This can be changed. I envisioned that Meksum was found later than other mainworlds. I’ll look up 1st draft of timeline made by you and squeeze Meksum in there more precisely. Why? And demi-martyr minoris sounds kind of... insignificant. I guess there have been a lot of those up through the millennia. Perhaps it would be better to only name saints and demi-saints? I wanted to create a hierarchy for saints in the Imperium. This one is important saint on Neu Povolzh, but not even in Meksum sub in general.

No problem, I had fully intended to do it anyway, it just took me a little while to get round to it.
I'm going to need that date for when I get round to the rediscovery of anexus.

That's perfectly alright. I just need the years of any major events that were significant for Quechit, if not the rest of the sector. When it was first colonised, when it was brought into the Imperium, any major wars or disasters, etc. I will work on that, I've sort of have a basis for the history, but I need to make some dates for those events. They liberated themselves from the oppression of "The Tyrant" He ruled Quechit before the people liberated themselves. I will work this character out too, I like the idea of a pumped (genetically...perhaps a pre space marine...Dark Age technology) up megalomaniac who ruled of Quechit with his warriors since the Age Of Strife. The people of Quechit rebelled against him and his forces and liberated themselves, this is also the reason why they see the Emperor as "The Great Liberator of the Stars" instead of a God. The Quechitians dont worship the Emperor as a God, but respect him as a great liberator, or perhaps see him as a saint, similar to how many people in Latin America see Che Guevara.

More to come soon (some details etc), this is kinda a concept...a few minor alterations soon.

First off, wonderful work there CELS. It should be interesting to see how you structure things when more and more 'world history' information becomes available. And, indeed, when a world is accepted sufficiently such that we can include the history on the timeline! ;D
