Overview
This could be the lore for the game I guess… none of this is official, it’s just an explanation I thought of for why this stuff came to be.
Part A: 2100s
2105: The Galaxy that game takes place in is discovered by the James Webb telescope, and is named Evo, hence the game’s name.
2106: Testing for a faster-than-light drive has begun in JPL.
2112: The first ftl flight is conducted.
2114: The warp core is invented.
2117: Alpha Centauri is visited by humans.
2143: The inner solar system in completely colonized.
2147: Evo is visited for the first time.
2178: Alien life is discovered in Evo
2187: The Galactic Exploration Federation (G.E.F.) is Founded:
The 2200s
2201: The G.E.F. launches it’s first initiative called “Neovox” with its goal making ship building more accessible to regular people.
2215: Massive ship manufacturing corporations begin sprouting from the Neovox initiative.
2219: At this point, Neovox has become so much of a success that the G.E.F. has a supply and demand problem for materials, and thus, the G.E.F. launches their next initiative: “Galactic Station Array” an ambitious project to build space stations throughout the galaxy, but is not expected to be complete until the late 2300s to the early 2400s.
2224: The G.E.F. establishes Head Quarters in the system Leosus on the Earth-like moon of Leosus-1.
2250: Conflict with the Human race and a terrorist group of pirates start forming.
2276: The G.E.F starts it’s next initiative: “Habitat” this project will build ring-worlds around gas giants for people to stay for long trips in space.
The 2300s
2300: The G.E.F. starts funding for ship manufacturing companies.
2325: Habitat worlds are successfully installed throughout the galaxy and are ready for use.
2328: A new race of alien enters the galaxy, this race resembles a blue feline sort of creature.
2334: An explosion occurs on a Habitat world, pirates are held responsible.
2346: A foreign artifact is discovered near the center of the galaxy. Origins are unclear.
2364: The Station array Initiative is completed ahead of schedule.
2375: A fully interactive holomap of the entire galaxy is mapped.
2376: The year the game takes place in, you know the rest.
