-
Life evolves on serpulo, most likely only flora since there are no referenced animal-like species
-
The Precursors are a theoretical advanced faction presumably responsible for the 'Core' technology in-game
-
An unnamed interstellar vessel enters the system for the first time, with the sole objective of dropping cores and colonizing serpulo. This vessel is probably a Precursor ship.
-
Despite many people thinking that the 'Seeding event' is a biological event, the semantics of coal's flavour text most likely indicate that the 'Seeding event' is the litteral seeding of civilization, aka the previously mentioned unnamed interstellar vessel dropping cores onto serpulo. Cores were not dropped onto Erekir presumably for lack of technology or because of an unsuitable envrioment
-
The unnamed interstellar vessel crashes onto serpulo for unknown reasons, leaving a crash site called 'Impact 0078'
-
The dropped cores united and form the Crux faction
-
Rebels from the Crux use the PLT to launch cores onto Erekir to then colonize it. These runaway rebels are called 'The Malis'
-
A rogue super-intelligent AI, the Sharded, broke away from the Crux and started a war against it.
-
The Sharded prooceded to destroy key Crux infrastructure: They destroyed the Plastanium production facilities located on windswept islands. They destroyed the nuclear production facility. And as a result of these wars massive craters formed, like the one found in 'The Craters'
-
The Sharded then targeted and destroyed the Biomass synthesis facility. After its destruction, a hyper-invasive artificial lifeform called 'The spore' broke loose and contaminated the whole planet, killing all lifeforms and transforming Serpulo int oa barren wasteland.
-
The Sharded still lost because of technological inferiority, but the Crux suffered massive damage, weakening it.
-
The Sharded recovered almost immediately, restarting their campaign and waging war against the Crux again.
-
As a result of a weakened Crux, and a more intelligent Sharded, the latter managed to wipe out the Crux from Serpulo, finishing the legacy.
-
After wiping out the Crux, the Sharded turned its sights against Erekir. Once landed, they commenced their conquest, then subsequently wiping out the Malis.
