USS Galaxy Timeline - From 1 AD to 1799 AD

This timeline is used in conjunction with the USS Galaxy Email Fan Fiction Writers RPG as a reference guide. Ever feel like writing, but don't know where to start? we're a small group who love writing with each other to build an environment of our own. Kinda like a combination of Tabletop RPG's and Choose-Your-Own-Adventures. You're welcome to be a part of it. We're always looking for more writers.
