(Note â€" Atlantian Age starts with the colonisation of the Planet Earth but the actual Atlantian Empire had existed many years before that.

Unknown (aproximately 100,000 years ago) â€" The people of the planet Atlantia advance technology to the point of space travel and find themselves to be the only advanced society in the known universe

0 AA â€" The Atlantians colonise the planet of Earth and discover a race calling themselves "Human" that resemble them however they purely observe their behaviour to begin with.

100 AA â€" Galladia is born to Rohmf and Cecilia Aristoros on Earth

157 AA â€" Galladia submits a report to the council of Atlantia expressing her wishes to use the discovery of Orichalcum for Atlantia's lasting interests. The council agree to use the Orichalcum in their matter conversion efforts but not to expand their empire. Galladia is outraged and considers them to be "Belittling her achievement."

158 AA â€" The "Ascender" is completed. This machine seeked out Atlantian DNA and converted them into energy beings. This allowed them to take physical shape at will. Odin considers this to be the greatest achievement in Atlantian history.

The Asgard-Vanir Civil War

165 AA â€" Galladia goes against the wishes of the Asgard council and bio-engineers a new race from the Orichalcum. These parasitic beings thrive on life-force energy emitted from all life in the Universe, they served to convert all to their race by transferring them into their collective will.

175 AA â€" After evading the spreading might of the Dark Collective for five years and with ships in need of repair and refuel. Odin agrees to head to Yggdrasil, the Universe tree and gateway across the universe which would be a temporary safe haven as Galladia has no access to it.

176 AA â€" Odin takes the fleet through an inter-dimensional rift to evade a probe and ends up in the Altia Galaxy. Much to their despair, they find that the planets in this region are harbouring Collective Hives and have been stripped of their natural resources.

Faced with saving her own vessel from destruction and protecting the remaining members of the Asgard council.

180 â€" The End of the Atlantian Age â€" The Battle of Terra â€" The Asgard manages to get Odin down on Terra and helps free the enslaved Terrans, who immediately aid her against Galladia who invokes the power of the Valkyrie, allowing her to become a full fledged God. In the final battle on Serenity Island, Galladia almost kills Odin however she uses her last strength to stab Galladia along with Freyja and Bragi who manage to the seal her away there.
