The assumption is that Halo is the more popular and more widely known so i cut out the halo timeline

0 Post Diaspora – 2700 Common Erabut I got really into it once I started now if only my computer chair was more comfortable lol.

0 PD - In a show of brotherhood the remaining planets worked together to rebuild the sol system, and signed a new constitution that made all planets equals and created the Solarian League.

10 PD - Despite the mystery remaining behind the disappearance of the UNSC new colonization efforts were already underway including the reclamation of the former UNSC worlds. These worlds were renamed by the new government, and the first before known as Reach was now Beowulf (muahaha lol).

96 PD – Multiple attempts to contact the former covenant species are unsuccessful and any ships that travelled into covenant space, as it comes to be known do not come back

110 PD – The Eridani Edict as it becomes known is legislated forbidding the use of WMD's on civilian population centres or in indiscriminate amounts.

124 PD – All further attempts to contact the former covenant species and the UNSC are abandoned and covenant space is labeled a no go zone. Various other factors including some very dangerous grave waves make the area unsuitable for Hyper Drive equipped ships anyway.

305 PD - Safe long term cryo hibernation is perfected.

314 PD – Reverend Austin Grayson leads the church of humanity unchained to the yeltsin system.

478 PD – Cryogenics becomes widely available, most merchant ships before did not travel far from their point of origin just to the next star system or such but with the availability of cryogenics and the relative cheapness of a new forms of steel 'tramp' freighters that travelled between more widely spread systems experienced a resurgence.

560 PD – A new type of steel is synthesized 3/4's as strong as the Titanium A plate previously used and only a quarter again the weight, this new type is cheaper to make though making it the new go to metal for military ship building.

683 PD – The first impeller drive for a missile is invented.

775 PD – The colony ship Jason leaves for the Manticore binary system.

802-822 PD – The laser head for missiles is invented allowing missiles a standoff range of up to 20000km, as stronger nuclear warheads were already available and better focusing lenses the laser head becomes the primary weapon for all warships. This development was prompted by the development of PD (point defence) systems that made it much more difficult to get a traditional nuclear warhead close enough to damage a ship.

1273 PD – A descendent of Adriana Warshawski, Adrienne Warshawski invents the Warshawski Sail, as it comes to be known and a gravitic detection system allowing ships equipped with them to better detect and and finally harness the power, instead of avoiding, grav waves allowing for faster than regular hyper drive FTL travel. (Not horribly original I know lol)

1309 PD – The first colonists arrive in the haven system.

1416 PD – The first settlers of the manticore system primary, Manticore A's first habitable planet, not so originally named manticore, make landfall.

1422 PD – The second habitable planet of the Manticores primary is settled it is named Sphinx

1435 PD – The third habitable planet of the manticore system, this one orbits the systems secondary star, is settled and named gryphon. It is renowned for the severity of its weather.

1447 PD – The first wormhole junction is discovered

1460 PD – The mesa system is settled by the Dettweiler consortium, later the consortium changes its name to Manpower Inc. they specialize in (ugh hate these people) genetic slavery, which is exactly what it sounds like, people genetically tailored for whatever is needed including sex slaves.

1500 PD – The last confirmed sighting of a UNSC ship is confirmed, all attempts to hail it result in failure and it disappears in what appeared to be a slipspace portal.(I don't like the wording of this one but cannot think of something better for the life of me)

1513 PD – Gustav Anderman founds the Andermani empire.

1519 PD – Treecats are discovered, the twelfth known sentient species. This number does not include the now unreachable former covenant species.

1568 PD – The ninth amendment of the manticoran charter is ratified giving the treecats the same rights as all sentient species.

1585 PD – The manticoran wormhole junction is discovered it contains a record breaking 6 transit points.

1700 PD – The Republic of Haven becomes the People's Republic of Haven, shifting its economy to that of a welfare based state.

1804 PD – The People's Republic becomes effectively bankrupt.

1845 PD – The Republic begins what will turn into a half-century of armed expansion.

1888 PD – The Republic annexes the trevors star system, which contains one of the manticoran junctions transit points.

1905 PD – The First havenite-manticoran war begins with the battles of Hancock station and Yeltsin Star, both are devastating victories for the RMN (Royal Manticoran Navy). At the same time a coup is staged by a Robert Pierre in the People's Republic, the navy is blamed and Pierre becomes chairman of the Committee of Public Safety the new ruling body for the People's Republic. The battles also show the first use of the new missile pod systems, these were used before but as missile ranges climbed and PD systems were advanced they were set aside as they could not have the onboard mass drivers ships used to 'throw' their missiles beyond their sidewalls before the missiles started their own impeller drives, an impeller activated within another impeller would cause a harmonic capable of destroying the ship, and as such were slower than ship launched missiles. The new pod systems did have a newly developed mass driver which meant they were no longer at a disadvantage to ship launched missiles.

1912 PD - The execution of Honor Harrington by hanging is publicly reported by Second Deputy Director of Public Information Leonard Boardman. Though this is, was proven false later as Honor escaped, blowing up the SSN (State Security Navy) Battlecruiser Tepes with Cordelia Ransom, a member of the committee onboard.

1913 PD - Battle of Cerberus - culminating point of the POWs and political prisoners escape from Havenite secret planetary prison Hades lead by, now admiral though she didn't know it at the time, Honor Harrington. (She was already promoted to Admiral within the Grayson navy for saving their system in the first and third battles of yeltsin star by this time no less than 4 attacks have been repelled by the combined Grayson and Manticore navy task forces stationed there. The RMN promoted her posthumously, or so they thought) Honor Harrington and a small fleet of captured ships arrive in the Trevors star system from the Hades System

1914 PD - Manpower Incident takes place on Old Terra, Earth is what they are talking about in case it wasn't clear and yes there is a planet named new terra. (I think) A failed military coup, for real this time, resulted in the destruction of the Octagon, the military HQ on the planet Haven, and the death of all the remaining committee members and those who staged the coup including its leader Esther McQueen, she was the Secretary of War at the time. Only the Secretary of Security, the leader of the State Security forces, Oscar Saint Just survived.

1915 PD – Oscar Saint Just transmits a request for truce and peace talks to the new Manticore civilian government, the High Ridge government, following the assassination of the manticoran prime minister and attempted assassination of the manticoran queen, this resulted in a change of government as the old political parties no longer had the majority required by manticoran law to form a government, by 'Masadan' terrorists who were in fact supplied by state sec. led by Oscar Saint Just.

1916 PD – Fearing a new round of purges and such, Fleet Admiral Thomas Theisman successfully led a military coup lead by from his position within Haven Home Fleet killing Oscar personally, he immediately afterwords put in place a Presidential Cabinet led by Esther Pritchart in the style of the old Haven Constitution. He refused the office of the president for himself and instead took a seat as the new secretary of war. (my god, people eh? lol)

1916-1919 - Thomas Theisman and the restored Republic of Haven Navy conduct a three year campaign to secure the reborn Republic of Haven from Office of State Security holdouts.

1919 PD - The Mesan slave world Verdant Vista, in the Congo System, is liberated to become the Kingdom of Torch. Also during this time a 7th transit junction is located within the manticore wormhole junction, this one leads the the lynx system in the Talbott cluster on the far side of the solarian league. This system is the closest habituated system to the area known as covenant space.

1920 PD - Deceived by the political machinations of Secretary of State Arnold Giancola, the Republic of Haven launches Operation Thunderbolt in an attempt to pressure the High Ridge-led Star Kingdom of Manticore to negoitate in good faith, starting the Second Havenite-Manticoran War.

1921 PD – The battle of manticore is fought, the first attack on the manticore home system in 800 years, the Havenite 7th Fleet fought the combined Manticoran Home Fleet , 7th and 8th fleets, the manticoran home fleet was destroyed completely and the 7th was badly damaged however with the use of a new manticoran missile type with ranges of up to 100 million kilometers which is well beyond any other navies missile ranges; Admiral Harrington, at the time in command of the manticoran 8th fleet forced the remaining havenite forces to surrender. This was the largest single battle of the war including a little more than 300 Superdreadnoughts and their accompanying screen on each side by the end only 120 manticoran superdreadnoughts remained and 100 havenite all were damaged to some extent.

Oct 25, 1921 PD - An unprovoked attack upon RMN units in the New Tuscany System is committed by the Solarian League Navy under the command of Admiral Josef Byng.

Nov 17, 1921 PD - SLN Frontier Fleet Task Group 3021 is disabled in the New Tuscany System by the RMN's Tenth Fleet under the command of Vice Admiral Gold Peak.

1922 PD - President Eloise Pritchart makes a suprise visit to Manticore to negotiate peace treaty. The Second Havenite-Manticoran War officially ends with a military alliance between the Star Empire of Manticore and the Republic of Haven against the Solarian League. These were a continuation of previous talks initiated by the then Star Kingdom that were ended due to a sneak attack upon the manticore system that destroyed the construction stations Haephestus and Vulcan as well as the research and development station Wayland. This attack coincided with a similar attack that destroyed similar stations in the Yeltsin Star system. At this time the exact perpetrators of the attack are unkown though it is theorized that the Mesan system is behind the attack. 5.4 million people on the stations were killed and a further 7.5 million were killed on the planet sphinx when wreckage from the Vulcan hit the city of Yawata. Additionally 9000 treecats, all from one clan, were killed outright by wreckage that hit near their home. This is the largest loss of civilian life to date, since the final battles for sol during civil war, due to military operations.

June 1922 PD Protector Benjamin Mayhew IX makes first inter-steller state visit to Manticore to sign Manticore-Haven Peace treaty on behalf of Grayson.

Feb 1922 PD - Battle of Spindle occurs, a task force of the Solarian Navy is sent to the spindle system to demand the surrender of Admiral Gold Peak and all ships and officers involved in the New Tuscany Incident. It ends in a one sided victory for the manticoran navy units there, the heaviest of which was a battlecruiser and they only had 14 of them, of the 71 SD, 24 BC, 12 CA, 23 CL, 18 DD solarian league ships only 23 SD's survived the battle. The reason for this is the many new technologies developed by manticore during its wars with haven including a Multi-Drive Missile system that was ship launched and had a range of 30 million kilometers 3 times the previous best shipboard launched missile combined with better focusing lenses for the laser heads and slight increases in the power of the warheads that formed the lasers. As well as system defence pods that had been shipped to them before the sneak attack on the manticore system.

June 1922 PD - Second Battle of Manticore - SLN Eleventh Fleet commanded by Admiral Filareta is decisively defeated by the Grand Fleet commanded by Admiral Harrington. The Grand Fleet Consisted of the Manticoran Home Fleet, The Protectors Own, a Grayson formation at the personal command of the protector (the head of state for the protectorate of Grayson) and the havenite 7th fleet.

Missile Pods - They're exactly what they sound like disposable pods that originally had 10 missiles each, the newest manticoran has 8 the newest havenite has 6 and the andermanni has 7 the solarian league navy has only recently begun pod manufacture again the pods used in the second battle of the manticore system had 10 missiles in each pod. They are used, by most fleets, to thicken a fleets missile launches initially, as they have no defences of their own and are such vulnerable to proximity soft kills. As of right now DD and CL can carry 4, CA can carry 5, BC's can carry 7 dreadnoughts, though no navies are currently making more, 10 while SD's can carry 15. (not actually sure about those numbers, might be higher) Although carry isn't quite right they use their tractor beams to 'tow' the pods behind them then turn broadside to fire them. The manticoran and grayson navies are both exceptions to the first volley only rule.

Off-Bore Capability - Another new concept, developed by the royal manticoran navy during the war, that allows a warship to fire both broadsides at the same target regardless of orientation, except of course throught the floor or ceiling of their impeller wedge, effectively doubling the amount of missiles one ship can send at a target.

Apollo - Another new concept introduced by the manticoran navy, apollo is essentially a missile dedicated for FTL communication between a ship and it's missiles. Before it's conception missile links were limited to light speed and pre-programmed EW and ECM measures. It also allows the extension of a missiles range into the hundreds of millions of kilometer range as you can instruct the missiles to shut down their drive as they come in, disappearing from sensors, before activating them when they get into attack range. Not all ships are capable of using this feature as it requires a rather significant upgrade to their standard sensor systems.

SD(P) - Or colloquially known as the super-podnought, was the manticoran answer to the increasing dominace of missile pods these super dreadnoughts use an internal magazine system, in addition to their already considerable broadsides to launch then fire groups of pods at a time. At this time the only navies to field this ship type are the Andermanni, Manticoran, and Grayson. Mostly due to their size and complexity of their internal automation. Though the solarian league and havenite navies have the technical ability to field these ships they have not done so yet.

CLAC's - Yet another example of manticoran ingenuity. With the use of pods now established on both sides, talkin about Haven-Manticore in case you were wonderin, another game changer was needed, this was the CLAC. Functioning much the same way as a wet navy carrier it is armed with a light broadside with an abundance of PD its primary purpose is to deliver the approx. 100 LAC's it carries to the battlefield.

Finally there you go lol. While not exactly how i had managed it i think i did pretty well. And as to why they don't have single man fighters no impeller drive ever made would fit in a single man sized fighter or for that matter could a single man sized fighter supply the power required for it. The solarian league will be explained later lol. Ugh I will have to go into politics argh! lol ah well have a good day and good reading lol. Oh and I need more REVIEWS! lol, woops need to pay a bit more attention lol i thought i read it said 400 somewhere though it may have been talking about the speed of lac's at the time.
