History
With over a year of real time past since the start of the LP, it can become hard to keep track of what happened when. This page will attempt to order all significant events per in-game year, with links to relevant BGreman updates and wiki pages.
Events that should be noted on this page are ship launches, completed research and so forth, as well as events that define that period of time.
