Cross-over?

Could it be possible to alter the dating of the eras to allow them to cross-over in dating? According to the dates given, the Unggoy's entrance into the Covenant empire as subjects is the "Globalization era".-- Forerunner 20:23, 27 March 2011 (EDT)

I would much prefer that we change the dates so that they can intersect, allowing us to use whichever era is necessary. The date-specific method works fine over at Wookiepedia because much of the galaxy is linked together - everyone knows what's going on. Think of it more in the sense of Earth's BCE ages. Before the establishment of (then) advanced and progressive (for the time) civilizations like the Romans and Greeks much of the world was isolated. You could be at a bronze-age level of development while a tribe just a couple miles away might be at an iron-age level. I hope someone will reply soon.-- Forerunner 09:45, 16 June 2011 (EDT)
