'''Halopedia: Timeline''' is a project page which lists out a timeline of the [[Halo universe|''Halo'' universe]]. This page is simply a reference for general events. 

== The timeline ==
When [[Halo Mythos|chronicling]] the history of the ''Halo'' universe, the [[human]] made [[AI]] [[Curator]] divided the timeline into the following major eras:<ref name="mythos">'''[[Halo Mythos: A Guide to the Story of Halo]]''', ''pages 6 - 7''</ref><ref group="note">Curator's timeline serves as the in-universe framing device of the reference book ''[[Halo Mythos]]''. ''Mythos'' is written with concern to the inclusion of events from most ''Halo'' media, which are largely concentrated in select points of the timeline, as well as real-world presentation reasons; this results in a somewhat lopsided distribution of its discrete "eras". In-universe, as Curator is a UNSC AI, the timeline displays a notable human bias. Therefore, a true "historical" timeline from a neutral standpoint would likely be segmented more evenly. However, the timeline is nonetheless used by Halopedia as it is the only definitive canon timeline available.</ref>

=== Rise of Humanity ===
{{Main|Insurrection|Human-Covenant War|Massacre of the Outer Colonies}}
The ''Rise of Humanity'' era covers events from 853 CE to 2551 CE.<ref group="note">''Halo Mythos'' places the beginning of the "Rise of Humanity" era to [[2080]] CE. However, as Halopedia covers a number of in-universe events between 852 CE and 2080 CE, the several-hundred-year gap since the end of "The Forerunner Legacy" is appended to the "Rise of Humanity" for the sake of convenience.</ref> In the case of Covenant history, this includes the assimilation of species under the Covenant and in the case of humanity, formations of key nations and empires, modern history, early human [[Human colonies|space colonization]], battles and skirmishes of the [[Interplanetary War]], the formation of the [[Unified Earth Government]] and the [[United Nations Space Command]], the ''[[Domus Diaspora]]'', [[Insurrection|UNSC operations]] against the [[Insurrectionist|Insurrection]] forces in the [[Outer Colonies]], the creation of the [[Spartans]] and the [[Human-Covenant War]].

=== End of the War ===
{{Main|Human-Covenant War|Siege of the Inner Colonies}}
The ''End of the War'' focuses on the events in 2552 CE, specifically the final events of the Human-Covenant War, including the [[Great Schism]], the [[Battle for Earth]], the [[Battle of Installation 05]] and the [[Battle of Installation 00]].

=== The Aftermath ===
{{Main|Post-Covenant War conflicts}}
''The Aftermath'' covers events taking place after the end of the Human-Covenant War between 2553 CE - 2556 CE. This includes the reconstruction of UEG colonies, the continuation of the Great Schism and the early [[post-Covenant War conflicts]].

=== Return of the Prometheans ===
{{Main|Battle of Requiem|Created conflict}}
The ''Return of the Prometheans'' includes events from 2557 CE and 2558 CE, such as the engagements on [[Requiem]] and the re-awakening of the [[Ur-Didact]], leading to a resurgence of Forerunner activity in the galaxy.

=== Future ===
The ''future'' is any event past 2559 CE, such as stuff surrounding the [[Museum of Humanity]].
