Editorial Comment 

 
Comments on inconsistencies and omissions in the various elements of the complete timeline have been retained as 
the original authors presented them. 
 
Core Rulebook  
This timeline takes as its main source the 2nd Edition Fading Suns rulebook (hereafter referred to as 'Core') however, 
it also includes information from the 1st edition rulebook and "Complete Pandemonium" (hereafter 'CP'). Where 
dates contradict one another I have taken the more recent citation as the correct one. Divergences from this are noted 
in the text. The core rulebook appears to contain remarkably few dates for a book of its size, time periods are 
generally left nebulous in this tome and expanded upon elsewhere. 
 
Player's Companion 
Although it contains a great deal of information the Player's Companion has a paucity of specific dates for events. As 
a consequence of this I have been forced to approximate and estimate many of the dates below on the basis of 
information available from other sources (notably DbtS, IS2 and LotKW). 
 
Note: The date of 2680 given for first contact with the Hironem of Cadiz has become a cause of some confusion 
recently. Other sources (notably the history section of the Rulebook) claim that the first alien race encountered by 
humanity were the Shantor of Shaprut. It is possible, although unlikely, that the date given for first contact with the 
Hironem in the Player's Companion is in fact a typo for 2780. However, even this later date conflicts with 
information claiming that the Obun were the second race contacted by humanity in 2797... 
 
A second, more intriguing, option for the first contact conundrum was suggested by Jonas Gabrielson on the Fading 
suns Mailing List. He theorises that the Hironem were indeed contacted before the Shantor, but that the contacting 
organization (House Gloucester, which had interests on both Cadiz and Severus at the time) kept their discovery 
secret so as to "steal a march" on other organizations in buying up Hironem lands on Cadiz. I have adopted his 
suggestion, but retained the 'official' first contact dates as HDI presented them.

Star Crusade 
Although part of this timeline is a direct copy of those presented in the Vuldrok and Kurga timeline on pages 13 and 
79 of "Star Crusade" much additional information has been added from other dates given in that volume. Where no 
specific dates were available they were extrapolated from data available elsewhere (these dates are noted as being 
approximate). 
 
Dates in the Kurgan Caliphal Calender  (dated from the coronation of Juhangiz Turhan as the first Caliph) can be 
determined by deducting 4472 years from dates given in the 'AD' schema common to the Known Worlds. 
 
I have been unable to determine an exact date for the millirice famine on Rauhina/Hargard which supposedly led to 
the Vuldrok-Hawkwood estrangement. Any input on this matter would be greatly appreciated. 
 
Children of the Gods  
The main source of contention in this book is the date of the foundation of the so called Parliament of Speakers by 
the Obun and Ukari peacemakers Virta HanLoaaj's and Dyn'dran Oed Nata. Different sources give varying dates for 
the foundation of this institution. For the sake of completeness I have retained both in the timeline below and allow 
the reader to draw their own conclusions on which is more likely, valid or appropriate for their own purposes. 
 
Dark Between the Stars 
Please note that there is little to no information on Dervishes, Sathra, or Antimony in the book. Those sections were 
noticeably lacking in dates except for the exceptionally vague "During the 2nd Republic." Once the timeline is a little 
closer to being completed, I can go back through this and maybe fill in some closer approximations  
 
Forbidden Lore: Technology 
Hello, all! Here's my bit toward the timeline project...once again, a lot of dates weren't given, but what was given or 
could be extrapolated past "during the Second republic" is here for your viewing pleasure. 
 
Weird Places 
Cue to dating inconsistencies in the book two dates have been moved to a hundred years later than their official dates 
in order to fit continuity. These dates are noted with an asterisk (*) by their date number. 
 
Imperial Surveys 5: Decados Fiefs 
Inconsistence marked (*): Uh, not too sure about this. The book describes this as occurring 2000 years before human 
contact, but this means that the current Hironem caste system grew up after the War in the Heavens, and presumably 
while the Vau were restricted to their homeworld. Should probably be closer to 100AD.
