Timeline for Exquisite Soldier Lovely Freesia ??? - Era of the Silver Millennium; Earth and Moon ruled by Queen Serenity from her Moon Kingdom, aided by the Sailor Senshi. Moon Kingdom brought down in struggle with Dark Kingdom forces led by Queen Beryl. 1990's - Sailor Senshi reincarnated and bring down the Dark Kingdom along with Queen Beryl and Queen Metallia. Sailor Senshi earn some fame as they engage in other struggles against evil forces that arise from time to time. 2002 - United Nations dissolved in favor of the United Earth Federation (UEF), a true unified world government using the republic model. 2021 - The Rainbow Incident; Earth's teens follow a fad of coloring their hair in shades that do not occur naturally, such as blue, purple, green, pink, blonde (for some ethnic groups). One line of dyes used for this, put out by Silver Millennium Cosmetics, ended up being defective in that it mutated the hair color genes of those who wore the dyes in question. As a result, the hair colors became permanent while the descendants of those who used that particular brand of dyes wound up inheriting the hair colors derived from the dyes used. 2022 - In a stunning move, Nabicorp Communications was successful in a hostile takeover bid for Genom. Rumors persist that this was due to the combination of blackmail regarding the untimely death of Dr. Katsuhito Stingray, the inventor of the boomers, as well as the use of unknown persons with unconfirmed abilities. 2025 - The Second Great Kanto Quake; Tokyo leveled in a major quake. Recovery aided by the help of Nabicorp's Genom subsidiary, the UEF and Nippon regional governments, and an underground organization run by the Sailor Senshi and one calling herself Neo Queen Serenity. Tokyo reborn as Hyper- Tokyo. 2028 - The Boomer Holocaust; When it becomes known to the authorities that sexaroid boomers had potentially dangerous capabilities, they order them deactivated and destroyed. Humans sympathetic to the boomers organize an underground railroad and manage to save about a third of the sexaroids from termination. This operation expands to cover all boomer types, with the liberated cyberdroids being exposed to a virus that removed all blocks to self-awareness 2029 - The Boomer Emancipation Act; Amid controversy, the UEF signed into the constitution an amendment declaring most boomers to be sentients and entitled to all rights as citizens of the UEF. In return, the boomers agree to regulations designed to put them on equal footing with humans, such as limits on production and capabilities. Eventually, boomers are accepted as equal members of Earth society and not regarded as mere machines, servants, or tools. 2031 - The Loss of New York; Cultists in New York City revive Jadeite, a surviving general of the defunct Dark Kingdom. Elevated to the status of Overlord, Jadeite organizes and carries out a plan to completely take over the city and rename it New Youma Citadel. UEF military forces attempt a recapture of the city, but are repelled and only succeed in causing more damage to the city. In an effort to end the bloodshed, the UEF strike a treaty with Jadeite and his government, despite heavy protests from Neo Queen Serenity and the Sailor Senshi. NYC is ceded from the UEF and recognized as its own autonomous region, and UEF citizens unwilling to live under Jadeite's rule are allowed to relocate. Surprisingly few do so, and public opinion indicated a willingness to throw NYC to the wolves. 2032-2035 - Several covert operations are carried out by both the UEF and NYC against each other. UEF is ineffective in their operations, while the NYC is barely contained by the Sailor Senshi and their underground organizations. 2036 - Many high-ranking officials in the UEF retire, are dis- missed, impeached, or otherwise purged as a result of the ineffective policies and decisions regarding the rise of Overlord Jadeite and NYC. The new heads of the UEF decide to enter into discussions with Neo Queen Serenity and the Sailor Senshi regarding the situation with Overlord Jadeite. 2038 - UEF and the Sailor Senshi agree to form a new, semi-secret organization: the Magical Girl Corps. The UEF, observing that the Sailor Senshi and other "magical girl" teams were far more effective in dealing with Youma than were the military or civil defense programs, agreed to co-sponsor such an organization. Hino Rei, a.k.a. Sailor Mars, is named as Supreme Commander of the MGC. - Among the members of the founding team, the Starlight Rangers, are Hino Miyako (first cousin removed of Sailor Mars), Kadokawa Misa, Fujisaki Hikaru, Sakakibara Kimiko, Koyama Noriko, and Tokawa Junko, aided by an intelligent penguin named "Penko". 2039-2046 - The Starlight Rangers, along with other MGC teams formed during the years, are successful in containing the dark forces of NYC. As a result, Overlord Jadeite is deposed and killed in 2045. Merkur, one of the rebel generals, replaces him after the coup. 2047-present - Overlord Merkur reverses Jadeite's policy of covert operations against the UEF and makes an outward show of cooperation. However, he secretly encourages the youma and humans under his rule to operate on a freelance or mercenary basis, thus allowing them to cause trouble all around. The UEF and MGC become aware of this tactic but are unable to do anything about it except to deal with incidents as they arise. 2050 - The Shooting Star Incident; UEF solar system patrols detect an unidentified object on an approach vector to Earth. Initially believing it to be a stray asteroid or other body, the UEF military elect to intercept it with missiles to avoid a collision. However, most of the mis- siles are destroyed as they close in on the object, reveal- ing it to be a ship of some sort. One missile gets close enough to cause damage upon detonation. Further course computations reveal that the ship will crash into HyperTokyo unless stopped. Furious at the military's bungling of the case, the UEF turns the matter over to the MGC, allowing them access to whatever resources they may need. - The Starlight Rangers are called upon to intercept and board the ship. It turns out the ship was a colonial one sent by the myanarans, a race of feline humanoids that was under the belief that Earth was uninhabited based on mil- lennia-old reports. It also turns out that the ship's maneuvering systems were damaged by the missile attack, locking it on its disastrous course. - Team leader Hino Miyako elects to remain on board the ship while the other Rangers return to Earth and join the other members of the MGC focus their energies on her in an attempt to safely divert the colony ship so that it would crash-land safely. Lt. Toriyama Katsuhito, a liaison with the UEF space agency, remains with Miyako on board. The operation is a success, with the ship being diverted into Tokyo Bay rather than crashing into HyperTokyo proper. Rescue crews succeed in keeping the casualties down to a minimum. However, the myanarans on board are now stranded on Earth, and Miyako winds up losing her powers due to the incredible amounts of energy that coursed through her. Miyako steps down as an active member of the MGC. 2051 - The UEF amends the constitution to allow the myanarans citizenship in the UEF, which they accept. Both terrans (which include humans and boomers) and myanarans drop any grudges, recognizing the Shooting Star Incident to be a series of errors that was kept from becoming a disaster. To this day, the vast majority of myanarans still reside in HyperTokyo and are very cooperative in aiding the recovery of technology from the shipwreck in the bay. - Former Starlight Ranger leader Hino Miyako weds Lt. Cmdr. Toriyama Katsuhito and takes over the duties of priestess at the shrine run by the Hino family. - The remaining Starlight Rangers disband and take up administrative positions in the MGC. - Supreme Commander Hino Rei, recognizing that her duties as a Sailor Senshi are taking up too much time from her duties to the MGC, appoints Kadokawa Misa as Chief of Operations and second-in-command to handle the day-to-day running of the MGC. Fujisaki Hikaru and Sakakibara Kimiko are named Chief Tactical and Strategic Officers respectively. Koyama Noriko is assigned to be Chief of Research and Development, while Tokawa Junko is designated to be the MGC's liaison and representative with the UEF. 2060-70 - The Star Tower project; A series of six arcology towers are built in HyperTokyo with the aid of myanaran technology. The six towers are in a five-point star pattern with the largest one, Tower Prime, in the middle. Each level in the kilometer-high towers is as large as a small neighborhood and acts as such. Several lifts and skytrams connect the towers and the surrounding city. 2074 - Toriyama Akiko, granddaughter of Toriyama Katsuhito and Miyako, is born. 2078 - Takara Akira is born. 2079 - Miyakawa Mika, Mura Natsumi, and Ferris are born. 2087 - Mika meets Akiko meet during a New Year's festival held at the shrine run by Akiko's grandmother. The two become good friends, almost like sisters. 2092 - Akiko graduates from Mizuhara high school and enters HyperTokyo University. 2094 - Mika, Natsumi, and Ferris enter Mizuhara high school and meet each other. They become study partners under Akiko, who volunteers her time for her alma mater. - The International Association for the Advancement of Pretty Boys (IAAPB) launches their successful lawsuit to force the MGC to accept males into their ranks. 2095(present) - Mika is drafted into the MGC and becomes Exquisite Soldier Lovely Freesia. - Akiko is drafted into the MGC and becomes Exquisite Soldier Crimson Rose. - Natsumi is drafted into the MGC and becomes Exquisite Soldier Golden Poppy. - Ferris is drafted into the MGC and becomes Exquisite Soldier Pretty Daisy. - Takara Akira transfers to Mizuhara high school.
