Campaign Timeline

• The United States and Russia fuse their competing space station programs, to begin construction on StarLab One. This will be Earth’s first permanently manned space station in orbit around the planet.

• Project Galileo departs Earth, bound for Jupiter. Upon its arrival, it will make the most detailed survey of the Jovian system of its day, including the discovery of water on the Jovian moon of Europa. It will end its life with a dramatic plunge into Jupiter’s dense atmosphere, continuing to transmit data until it is crushed by the intense pressure.

• Phoenix Enterprises Limited is founded (as a sea-going shipping firm) on Earth.
