Dark Ages
approx. 4000 BCE (Before Common Era) - approx 500 CE (Current Era)
pre iron age, dirt, sand, and stone was primarily used as homes, with primitive weaponry.
Some of the oldest written history traces back to this era. Monarchies and powerful families led this passage of time. The Nobura, Kangh, Walrex, Zatoichi, Rukundo, and Kaz families, were the respective leaders of each of their civilizations. All had a mutual agreement, and evaded wartime for centuries. With the Nobura and Zatoichi clans being the longest running allies prior to all 6 joining forces, they decided to in secret, form a pact swearing on each other's bloodlines, for eternity, to maintain a kinship in the face of anything that may happen.
Nobura- Feudalistic Samurai Clan, Combat
Kangh- Farming Community, Agriculture, tribal cowboys
Walrex- Viking, Travel and Commerce
Zatoichi- Ninja Monk Clan, Dark arts and influence
Kaz- Druid botanists, chemists, and scientists way ahead of their time
Rukundo - Architectural and engineering inventors.
Iron Age
approx. 500 CE - 1453 CE
First era of huge advancement, Swords and Monarchies run the era. After the Walrex family suddenly drawing out of the coalition, the Kangh and Kaz Families begin to arise suspicion against the closeness of the Nobura and Zatoichi families, the two powers unofficially began small bouts of combat through the use of mercenary pawn organizations. After a few decades of these outbursts of combat locals began putting the pieces together and resisting, causing some of the families to make the war everyone's problem. Large attacks on each others lands lead to the demise of the Kangh family, with little to no trace. And the vast spread of remaining Kaz Family members into many far reaches of the world forming their own sub communities in different areas. Leaving only the Nobura and Zatoichi families with a big name. The Rukundo continued peace talks amongst the remaining as they also had a very powerful military presence that was to be taken seriously.

Industrial Age
1453 CE - 2020 CE
Consumerism is becoming huge, travel and trade is rising.
After years of nothing heard from the Walrex family a first of his class, business mogul, Jerror emerges. Putting his family back on the map he over industrializes the northern hemisphere of earth. While unknowingly super cooling the earth, Jerror is in search of peace and wants to get the original 5 families in on his money making schemes.
The Kaz-Hammor, Kaz-Lor, and Kaz Ahoora families have all grown to become quite the local power houses in their respective areas as well, capitalizing on their knowledge of magic they're able to speed up technological advancements. Without intersecting others, this family is taking humanity places never thought imaginable before.
The Nobura and Zatoichi Clans had officially joined to create the Iron Lotus, an organization setting out to rid crime and leaders abusing their powers in their home turf. With several hundred years of training to share the Lotus became a force to be reckoned with.
Little to nothing has been heard from the Kangh family, talk of a new name and same bloodline running trade routes in the western hemisphere are circulating and suspicion of the family looking to regain power is high.
The Rukundo family have created cutting edge medical technology and facilities that have eradicated several live threatening ailments.
Cyber Age
2020 CE - 2739 CE
Introduction of bleeding edge technology, Ai and personalized tech is commonplace, Ripperdocs become a very sought after job after the Zatoichi clan became one of the biggest Cyberware manufacturers. Beginning to leave the Nobura clan in the dark with their business, tensions between the long allied bloodlines began to rise, as their leaders were beginning to take different paths in their growing economies. The Kangh and Walrex families rejoined to form the first of their kind, SuperCorpos.
Now going by Kaz industries, the family has begun military production and feeding to the war machine. Providing weapons and armor to all sides.
Rukundo expands to psychiatric and worldwide medical practices.
With all of these advancements in technology some of the families hope to be the first public contact with extra terrestrial life, eventually leading them all to form kinships and allies across space.
The great war - most hands are focused on the sectoral war, few aren't fighting or supporting the war effort in some way.
Age of the Usurper
2739 CE - Present (2743 CE)
The generation after the great war is trying to put back together the pieces of the civilizations lost, many efforts were made to make extraterrestrial survival so common almost every planet or moon in the system inhabited, further integrating lifeforms of all kinds into interplanetary civilizations. After the war and centuries of conflict the masses are sick of the five families.
With many planets being privately owned and operated a meeting area was established on Io so many leaders and people alike could meet and maintain universal peace, however an unfortunate attack from The Mimez killed hundreds of leaders leaving the already newly reforming system to start over again.
Current times
Almost 6 years after the attack on Io, several large military and government forces have come together, under Maximus, to seek control over the system after the sector lost several planetary and government heads. Many see this era as the height of Imperialism and Resistance as the system hasn't seen such a organized attack on all free land.
