“This document sets out everything the Fleet has determined so far. Operators in the field should rely on this knowledge with caution.” — Spoilers for No Man’s Land follow.
An attempt to create a cohesive timeline for the Poor Man’s Fight Series, partially based on timelines that Elliott Kay posted on his Patreon.[1][2] This is very much a work in progress, and it doubtlessly contains errors in various forms. This might be due to later works supplanting earlier works, continuity errors between published works, the works having no fixed timeline as they were written, errors from collation, or errors in interpretation.
All years are in CE (Common Era).
