The timeline, starting in 2050, first informs players about the arrival of humans on Mars. By 2100, human civilization has been established in space. In 2156, humans arrive in Aplha Centauri, and in 2159, the United Colonies are established. Next year, the United Colonies founded New Atlantis, making it the capital in 2161.
