| == The timeline == | | ==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>
| | ===Forerunner era=== |
| | Expanding from [[10,000,000 BCE]] to [[100,000 BCE]], the [[Forerunner]] era covers events such as the rise of the space-faring [[prehistoric human civilization]], the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], the activation of the [[Halo Array]], and the depopulation of the [[Milky Way|galaxy]]. |

| 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]]. | |
