Hundred billion years ago[edit]
- In 97,445 BCE; Forthencho, acting as a messenger for the Gravemind, stated that the Domain had been gathering information from before there were stars and had around hundred billion years of "life-patterns and living wisdom".[1] As of June 2557 this information was believed by people who worked under Project: BOOKWORM.[2]
Before life[edit]
- The great Glow occurs in the galaxy.[3]
Billions of years ago[edit]
Millions of years ago[edit]
Over half a billion years ago[edit]
- In 97,445 BCE, during a debate with Mendicant Bias, the Precursors were hinted by the Gravemind to have accumulating a vast reserve of rules based on experiences and disputes.[5]
Around 100 million years BCE[edit]
- In 2526, John-117 theorized that the civilization on Netherop may have perished around a million centuries before, alongside around a thousand centuries, and a hundred centuries.[6]
Prior to the Forerunners being seeded on Ghibalb[edit]
- The Weapon estimated that some data on the Totem Rings may be older than the Forerunners.[7]
- The origins of the Eld symbol is stated to predate the Forerunners.[8]
Around 15 million years BCE[edit]
- The Precursors seeded the species that would come to be known as Forerunners on the planet Ghibalb,[9] branched from the same base stock that also produce ancient Humanity.[10]
Around 10.1 million years ago[edit]
- The Forerunner Warriors were considered the highest rate.[11]
- Star roads were placed around Charum Hakkor.[12]
- The Precursors choose early humans to be the next species to carry the Mantle.[13] Desiring to seize the Mantle for themselves, the early Forerunners rebel against the Precursors and wipe them out almost entirely.[14]
- After the Forerunners hunt down all of the Precursors in the Milky Way galaxy. The remains of the Precursors retreat into the Large Magellanic Cloud; the Forerunners' Warrior fleets pursue them via probability mirror-reconciled slipspace portals and proceed to finish their work.[14]
- A number of Forerunners who conscientiously object to the complete destruction of the Precursors in the Large Magellanic Cloud are exiled[14] on a barren planet within the Tarantula Nebula; these Forerunners later remain as the only surviving population of the expedition.[15]
- In the face of extinction, most of the Precursors reduce themselves to inert powder, intending to regenerate their forms later.[13] However, one intact specimen remained in deep stasis and is buried within a remote asteroid a million years afterward.[14]
- In the Large Magellanic Cloud; two Precursors escaped the genocide, where some Forerunners hide them; but they die and become flowers containing their genetic code.[16]
- Following the battle in the Large Magellanic Cloud, the remaining Forerunners on the ships sacrificed themselves than return with what they did;[14] leaving the abandoned Forerunner ships in the Large Magellanic Cloud to slowly decay.[15]
Around 9.1 million years ago[edit]
- In the Large Magellanic Cloud; two Precursor seeds germinate.[16]
- The Primordial, a dormant Precursor, is said to have arrived on the edges of the galaxy.[13]
