Timeline Notes
The Extinction Cycle timeline runs from the first VX-99 field catastrophe to the rebuilt nations, side-branch survivor communities, the Dark Age war, and the later New Zealand recovery crisis. Exact dates appear where the books or established chronology give them. Where a branch uses only relative placement, the entry is placed by era and marked as strongly inferred or approximate. Dating and confidence Label Meaning Explicit A date, timestamp, or direct relative placement is given in the story or chronology. Strongly inferred The order is clear from book sequence, cause and effect, or adjacent dated events, but no exact date is given. Approximate The branch fits the continuity, but the exact alignment with the main Team Ghost calendar is not fixed. Coverage matrix Branch Coverage in this page Main series VX-99 origins, Building 8, Atlanta, Plum Island, X9H9, Operation Liberty, Fort Bragg, Variant evolution, Operation Extinction, ROT, and the post-war family state.
