Eras & Main Timeline

This is the full timeline and events of what happens in the Erebusverse. Included are also the main Eras the Extended Universe is broken up into.

Eras

The SPARTAN-I Orion’s & The Rebellion (2491-2511)

This era of the original Spartans. They would see extensive combat at the start of the Insurrectionist Wars and saw many missions. Eventually they would stop being as effective and as a result the SPARTAN-II Program was born.

SPARTAN-II & The Human-Covenant War (2517-2553)

Having been the major reason for the birth of Fireteam Erebus, the Human-Covenant war raged on until it’s eventual end in 2553. Through this time the main Halo Cannon will take place, during which Erebus and many other characters unique to the Erebusverse will take part in original events and have their own stories, with the main spotlight being on Fireteam Erebus.

Revival of the Insurrectionists & The Rise of The Galactic Pact (2553-2556)

This era marks the return for some old enemies of Erebus. They must face the demons of their past and hope to save as many people that ends up in the crossfire as possible.

Terror in the Far Outer Colonies(2557-late 2557)

Once an old Forerunner containment facility is accidently opened the nightmare for the far outer colonies begins. With the awakening and return of the flood, this is the darkest event of Erebus’ history as they must contain the parasite; either conventionally or by ordering fire to rain down on the infected planets.

Aiding the Shield of Humanity (2558-Present)

After the Flood issue is dealt with Erebus joins Fireteam Osiris in hunting the Master Chief and Blue Team on the orders of ONI while in the shadows; using Osiris to find Blue Team while aiding them as a cover up. Once the real threat of Cortana and the Created emerged Erebus would join forces with both Fireteams and fight back where they can.
