A Golden League ship surveys a moon orbiting Paravon-VI in the Paravon system.
Sanctuary before the Collapse
A scientific observation station is constructed in orbit above Paravon-VIb. Mission statement is sociological and xeno-anthropological research on the natives of the moon.
An expedition to Paravon-VIb's surface to collect samples of local flora and fauna is jeopardized when a member of the scientific team is captured by a Q'Skrae hunting party.
The Cult of El'Anor that sprang up after the abduction of a lead scientist on a survey mission continues to spread amongst the Q'Skrae tribes.
A large stone temple to El'Anor and her Daemons is constructed in the hills of southwestern Terraportum on the location of the future city of Covenant.
A series of devastating religious wars between the Cult of El'Anor and the followers of Ssasinak and the Old Gods breaks out across southwestern Terraportum.
Vital maintenance work is carried out on Paravon-VIb's observation station, financed by Gene-Tek, to ensure that the station remains in orbit.
Extensive lobbying by Gene-Tek results in them establishing a biological research facility on the surface of Paravon-VIb a full five years before the moratorium on surface expeditions was supposed to end.
Gene-Tek is given permission to expand their operations in a non-intrusive manner into the east.
Gene-Tek facility on Paravon-VIb destroyed under mysterious circumstances. Alpha-Site continues operations.
A detachment of Sentinel synths are secretly deployed to Paravon-VIb by the Golden League to keep an eye on Gene-Tek.
A number of scientific and security staff are discovered to be Synth Infiltrators and are assumed to be from a rival company.
The Golden League Emergency Evacuation Mandate or GLEEM plan is proposed by high ranking officials at Sentinel Station . The plan is sent back to the League's capital worlds for consideration. Paravon-VIb is given the designation 'Sanctuary' in official government files in an attempt to hide its location.
Gene-Tek employees at Alpha-Site cut ties with their off-world bosses, withdraw into the facility and completely seal it off, leaving automated defenses around the facility's perimeter.
The Mt. Tarruska Array is the third and final array to be completed, just one year before the Collapse.
The time during which the Collapse came to the Golden League and the arrival of the first refugees to Sanctuary.
A cataclysm unlike any other hits the Golden League. System after system goes dark and trillions of lives are extinguished.
A riot on the observation station above Sanctuary results in the station deorbiting and crashing into the deserts of southwestern Terraportum.
Q'Skrae natives following the Cult of El'Anor trace the trail of destruction and establish a small settlement with a temple to mark where their 'Gods' fell to earth.
Two ships carrying Golden League refugees, the Fortune's Fool and the Moisa Nomad, make planetfall close to the future site of New-Korynth and a third crash lands into the mountains with no known survivors. The refugees are primarily Uruk, Chitori and Sylvani.
A small flotilla of Ixt ships, led by the battlecruiser 'Celestial Hawk', land at the future site of Monak's Tower. They carry not only their crew and a small number of refugees, but also numerous high-ranking military officials from the Ixt Hierarchy as well as their crown prince; Yrran Monak.
A civilian cruiser, carrying Amanthid, Sylvani, Human and Ixt refugees, touches down just outside the perimeter of the settlement established in the ruins of the observation station that crashed 13 years prior.
The refugees are welcomed by the native Q'Skrae and together they begin to build what will become Godfall, the third great city of Terraportum.
