-'''Halopedia: Timeline''' is an official Halopedia page which lists out timeline of the ''Halo'' franchise. This age 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 ==
-===Forerunner Era===
+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>
-Expanding from 100,000 BCE to 40,000 BCE, the Forerunner Era covers events such as the Forerunner-Flood War, activation of the Halo Array, and the depopulation of the galaxy.
-===Rise of the Covenant Era===
+=== The Forerunner Legacy ===
-The Rise of the Covenant Era composed of events starting from 50,000 BCE to 1500 CE. The era includes the [[San 'Shyuum Civil War]], [[Sangheili-San 'Shyuum War]], formation of the Covenant Empire, assimilation of species under the Covenant, and early human history (such as the [[Battle of Thermopylae]]).
+{{Main|Forerunner-Precursor war|Human-Forerunner wars|Forerunner-Flood war}}
+''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).
-===Globalization Era===
+=== Rise of Humanity ===
-The Globalization Era showcases events from the 1500 CE to 2170 CE such as the pre- and early industralized human history, formations of key nations and empires, the First and Second World Wars, formation of the [[United Nations]], the Cold War, modern history (i.e. ''[[i love bees]]''), early human space colonies, battles and skirmishes of the [[Interplanetary War]], the formations of the [[Unified Earth Government]] and the [[United Nations Space Command]].
+{{Main|Insurrection|Human-Covenant War|Massacre of the Outer Colonies}}
+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]].
-===Colonial and Insurrection Era===
+=== End of the War ===
-The Colonial and Insurrection Era includes events spanning from 2170 CE to 2525 CE. The era includes the Odyssey mission, early human colonization of the [[Inner Colonies]], [[The Insurrection|UNSC operations]] against the Rebel/[[Insurrectionist|Insurrection]] forces in the [[Outer Colonies]] and the [[ORION Project]] (SPARTAN-I).
+{{Main|Human-Covenant War|Siege of the Inner Colonies}}
+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]].
-===The Great War Era===
+=== The Aftermath ===
-The Great War Era focuses on the events from 2525 CE to 2553 CE. Such events covered under this era are the [[Human-Covenant War]], the [[Great Schism]], minor rebel conflicts, Flood outbreaks and Forerunner events.
+{{Main|Post-Covenant War conflicts}}
+''The Aftermath'' covers events taking place after the end of the Human-Covenant War between 2553 CE - 2556 CE. This includes the reconstruction of UEG colonies, the continuation of the Great Schism and the early [[post-Covenant War conflicts]].
-===Post-war Era===
+=== Return of the Prometheans ===
-The Post-war Era covers any event taking place after the end of the Great War.
+{{Main|Battle of Requiem|Created conflict}}
+The ''Return of the Prometheans'' includes events from 2557 CE and 2558 CE, such as the engagements on [[Requiem]] and the re-awakening of the [[Ur-Didact]], leading to a resurgence of Forerunner activity in the galaxy.
+=== Future ===
+The ''future'' is any event past 2559 CE, such as stuff surrounding the [[Museum of Humanity]].
