Welcome to the wiki page for Beyond A Fading Halo, a freeform game being played on rpol.net currently. The game is a sci-fi space opera set in a homebrew version of the Milky Way but using the science of the Mass Effect universe. The setting information was started by me (username: iwantpie) but expanded on by all the players in the game as well as other members of the rpol.net community. As the amount of information collected is likely to get quite large I've decided to keep the details on this wiki page where it can be indexed and referenced more easily than the in-game posts at rpol. Below you'll find the timeline for the game and a brief history of humanity got from 2012 to the time period of the game. You'll also find headings for different sections of the reference. | Welcome to the wiki page for Beyond A Fading Halo, a freeform game being played on rpol.net currently.

Below is a time line of important moments in humanity's history. The history and setting will adapt over the course of play and I will update the time line from time to time as new details are established or discovered. Initially, the time line focuses on human history and uplifting. The 112 years between the start of the rapid human expansion phase and the current date is left purposefully blank so as not to limit player creativity in terms of their characters' origins, work, lifestyle, network and history. | Below is a time line of important moments in humanity's history.
