== Overhaul of the timeline ==


A lot has been introduced since this fan timeline was first established for Halopedia and it might be a good time to do some overhaul. This new timeline could throw away most of the species and organization-specific eras like the ''Forerunner era'', a 500 million year age that encompassed the height of Precursor civilization all the way to the San'Shyuum Schism. It's a bit too broad and places the Forerunners at the center of it all when we have so much evidence to the contrary. However, something like the proposed ''Precursor era'' would shine the spotlight on that species as they were at the forefront of galactic civilization at that point according to everything we know. Anyhoo, here are some recommendations I have for new eras we could use:
A lot has been introduced since this fan timeline was first established for Halopedia and it might be a good time to do some overhaul. This new timeline would throw away a lot of species and organization-specific eras like the ''Colonial era'' and replace it with something like the "''Imperial era''" that encompasses humanity's interstellar colonization, the colonial insurrection, as well as the Unggoy Rebellion, and the admittance of the Jiralhanae into the Covenant union. The similarly narrow-focused ''Forerunner era'' starts from 10,000,000 BCE, a date noted when the Precursors were at the height of their civilization and proclaimed the Human species as the inheritors of the Mantle, the beginning of the Forerunner's genocide of the Precursor species, and when the prehistoric human civilization began to flourish. Anyhoo, here's a rough outline of what we could do with some working titles:


*'''''Precursor era''''' — c. 500,000,000 BCE (Creation of the Domain) to c. 10,000,000 BCE (Precursor genocide).
*'''''Precursor era''''' — c. 500,000,000 BCE (Creation of the Domain) to c. 10,000,000 BCE (Precursor genocide).
