This timeline covers the entire history of the Legend of Galactic Heroes universe. It is divided into eras and uses the dominant dating system of each era--common era, space calendar, imperial calendar and new imperial calendar dating systems are all used. During eras with multiple dominant dating systems in use at the same time, both are listed.

Hegemony Era

2039 CE

2039 CE

• The Thirteen Day War: a massive nuclear war between the nations of Earth, divided primarily between the United States of Eurafrica and the Northern Coalition, destroys all of the major cities on the planet. The human population is reduced to 1 billion.

2129 CE

• After 90 years of chaos, the nations of the Earth are united under a single banner: the "United Earth Government" is formed. The UEG's capital is established in the city of Brisbane, Australia, one of the few cities to have survived the holocaust of the Thirteen Day War. The Ministry of Space is formed and a new age of space exploration dawns.

2166 CE

• The UEG constructs a base on Io, one of the four Jovian moons, to serve as a staging base for future exploration into deep space.
• The UEG's Ministry of Space constructs its headquarters, Luna City, on the Moon's surface.

2253 CE

• A slower-than-light starship is sent on a mission of exploration to Alpha Centauri. It is expected to return to Earth in 20 years, indicating a maximum possible speed of 0.4365c.

2360 CE

• Doctor Antonel Yanosher and a team of scientists develop Warp, a means of interstellar travel. Early warp technology was only capable of traversing short distances and had dangerous side effects on the human body.

2273 CE

• The Alpha Centauri Expedition is deemed a failure: the starship disappears without a trace.
• Human population reaches 4 billion, with settlements spread throughout the Sol Starzone, including colonies on the Moon, Mars and Io.

2391 CE

• Warp drive is finally perfected, allowing for safe and efficient faster-than-light travel between the stars.

2402 CE

• The first habitable planet other than Earth is discovered, in orbit of the Canopus star. A new age of space colonization begins.

2404 CE

2484 CE

• The Space Defense Corps becomes the Space Force, the military branch of the United Earth Government.

2527 CE

• The 2527 Military Expenditure Hearings begin: The UEG's Humanity Congress holds hearings to discuss the amount of the budget claimed by the Space Force, and to address fears of the Space Force becoming a military nobility.

2530 CE

• The UEG's sphere of influence expands to 84 light years.

2580 CE

• The UEG's sphere of influence expands to 91 light years.

2620 CE

• The UEG's sphere of influence expands to 94 light years.
• The Earth's natural resources are finally depleted: the Earth is now completely dependent on trade with the colony worlds for survival.

2664 CE

• Carle Palmgren is born on Rondolina, in the Sirius Starzone.

2666 CE

• Winslow Kennes Townshent is born on Rondolina, in the Sirius Starzone.

2669 CE

Warring States Era

2680 CE

• The colony worlds make a formal protest to the Humanity Congress regarding the gross economic and industrial disparities between Earth and the colonies.

2682 CE

• The 2682 Ultimatums: disgruntled colony worlds protest disproportionate representation in Humanity Congress, interference in local administration and unfairly high taxes.
• The United Earth Government initiates The Sirius Threat, a propaganda campaign intended to discredit the growing Anti-Earth Movement.

2685 CE

Earth's denunciation of Sirius ends up galvanizing the opposition. The disgruntled colonies secede from the Humanity Congress, forming their own Sirius Revolutionary Congress. The Sirius Congress then begins building up its military power in preparation for a confrontation with Earth.

2689 CE

• The Earth-Sirius War begins: Earth attacks and occupies the colony on Sirius VI, Rondolina, to suppress the dissident movement. The Earth soldiers become increasingly undisciplined as the occupation of Rondolina wears on, culminating in the Bloody Night, a massacre of civilians at the city of Laglane.
