GO TO SECTION ONE | GO TO SECTION TWO | GO TO SECTION THREE

Dates or events followed with (A)’s are non-cannon Wing Commander Aces incidents chronicled from PBM stories or background info provided by their respective authors. Dates or events followed with (A?)’s are non-cannon Wing Commander Aces incidents considered "unofficial" at present.
Everything Origin Wing Commander/Privateer-official or Origin-conjectural/educatedly guessed (i.e., cannon) appears "as-is." As this timeline covers just about every date and event given anywhere, there is a considerable amount of information that could be seen as irrelevant. For explanations as to why I put certain events where, see the bottom appendix. The purpose of this timeline is to better integrate and understand all possible aspects of the Wing Commander universe including the novels, games, cartoons, WC Aces stories, and document material. Feel free to E-mail me if you disagree on anything you see here, as I am willing to debate any discrepancies you feel to be present.
NOTE: The .XXX suffix for dates is a play off the modern Earth calendar, but has been speculated to not be equivalent (i.e., it may not begin in .001 and end in .365 or 366). For example, if the year was 2600, January 1st would be 2600.001, and December 31st would be 2600.485 or 2600.486.
Aces stories listed in brackets can be read at AceNet Central here.
