'''Halopedia: Timeline''' is a Halopedia page which lists out a timeline of the [[Halo universe|''Halo'' universe]]. This page is simply a reference for general events. For detailed information, please refer to the Timeline template provided on the right.
'''Halopedia: Timeline''' is a project page which lists out a timeline of the [[Halo universe|''Halo'' universe]]. This page is simply a reference for general events.  


== The timeline ==
==The timeline==
When [[Halo Mythos|chronicling]] the history of the ''Halo'' universe, the [[human]] made [[AI]] [[Curator]] divided the timeline into the following major eras:<ref name="mythos">'''[[Halo Mythos: A Guide to the Story of Halo]]''', ''pages 6 - 7''</ref><ref group="note">Curator's timeline serves as the in-universe framing device of the reference book ''[[Halo Mythos]]''. ''Mythos'' is written with concern to the inclusion of events from most ''Halo'' media, which are largely concentrated in select points of the timeline, as well as real-world presentation reasons; this results in a somewhat lopsided distribution of its discrete "eras". In-universe, as Curator is a UNSC AI, the timeline displays a notable human bias. Therefore, a true "historical" timeline from a neutral standpoint would likely be segmented more evenly. However, the timeline is nonetheless used by Halopedia as it is the only definitive canon timeline available.</ref>
===Forerunner era===
Expanding from [[15,000,000 BCE]] to [[97,445 BCE]], the [[Forerunner]] era covers events such as the rise of the space-faring [[prehistoric human civilization]], the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], the [[Great Purification|activation]] of the [[Halo Array]], and the [[Conservation Measure|repopulation]] of the [[Milky Way|galaxy]].


=== The Forerunner Legacy ===
===Rise of the Covenant era===

''The Forerunner Legacy'' covers events from 10,000,000 BCE to 852 CE. Events in this era include the history of the Forerunners such as the rise of the space-faring [[prehistoric human civilization]], the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], the [[Great Purification|activation]] of the [[Halo Array]], and the [[Conservation Measure|repopulation]] of the [[Milky Way|galaxy]], and early Covenant history (such as the [[San'Shyuum Schism]], the [[War of Beginnings]], and the formation of the Covenant).

The ''Rise of Humanity'' era covers events from 853 CE to 2551 CE.<ref group="note">''Halo Mythos'' places the beginning of the "Rise of Humanity" era to [[2080]] CE. However, as Halopedia covers a number of in-universe events between 852 CE and 2080 CE, the several-hundred-year gap since the end of "The Forerunner Legacy" is appended to the "Rise of Humanity" for the sake of convenience.</ref> In the case of Covenant history, this includes the assimilation of species under the Covenant and in the case of humanity, formations of key nations and empires, modern history, early human [[Human colonies|space colonization]], battles and skirmishes of the [[Interplanetary War]], the formation of the [[Unified Earth Government]] and the [[United Nations Space Command]], the ''[[Domus Diaspora]]'', [[Insurrection|UNSC operations]] against the [[Insurrectionist|Insurrection]] forces in the [[Outer Colonies]], the creation of the [[Spartans]] and the [[Human-Covenant War]].

The era includes the ''[[Odyssey]]'' mission, early human colonization of the [[Inner Colonies]], [[Insurrection|UNSC operations]] against the Rebel/[[Insurrectionist|Insurrection]] forces in the [[Outer Colonies]] and the [[ORION Project]] (SPARTAN-I).
The ''End of the War'' focuses on the events in 2552 CE, specifically the final events of the Human-Covenant War, including the [[Great Schism]], the [[Battle for Earth]], the [[Battle of Installation 05]] and the [[Battle of Installation 00]].
