|-
|2365||15||Last group of original Colonists finally awakened. But there are more arriving every five years as Earth is desperate to get the population to sustainable levels.||||Antigravity lifter technology mature enough for commercial use perfected on Centauri.

|-
|2430||80||||Wednesday Landing Tragedy sparks invention of hardlight. Since Zharus is closest, they send a distress torpedo at an amazing 14c.||
|-
|2431||81||Zharus sends assistance to Wednesday in wake of Wednesday Landing Tragedy.||||Technology exchange between Wednesday and Zharus. FTL ekes to 5.7c.
|-
|2435||85||Zharusian IDE factories retool for other products and external IDE importation ceases.||Terrans continue using IDEs in brushfire wars on Earth and nearer colonies.||
|-
|2437||87||Dr. Roberto Martinez establishes research outpost that forms the kernel of Uplift.||||
|-
|2450||100||Nanites are able to live outside of isolation tanks. Uplift adds its second dome emitter in what will be Bifrost Park.||Earth has first true "cyborgs".||FTL at 10.5 c. Message probes dispatched to ships in flight showing how to upgrade their engines.
