Business as Usual

Created by on Tue 4th May, 2021 @ 12:00am

Hello, all! For those players new to Starbase 109, this post is where we store the mission timeline in terms of mission days.

We are not yet all that great at coordinating time between the current and previous missions. You'd think that would be a simple thing, but it's not. This is because mission time happens a lot faster than real time. For example, we once had a mission consisting of about 25 days in-story. In real life, we had gone from Christmas of one year to Halloween of the next. However, within the mission we try to keep it as accurate as possible. So, the time period between last mission and this current one is a timey-wimey, wibbly-wobbly thing. Don't even try to reconcile it; that will give you migraines--unless you have figured out a really good, smooth way to reconcile them, and then please share your wisdom with us!

Right now, I am just entering posts with whatever mission dates they were given in-post. If you organized the post, please do come by here and make whatever timeline corrections might be needed in terms of where your activity happens in relation to other posts. Our goal is to give each post a specific date, whether that is before or after MD-1. Any posts marked as UNDATED are listed in the 'Before Mission Start' section but may have their dates changed to sometime during the mission.
