HALO Timeline

Here is a great Halo timeline from the Xbox World Magazine 

1,000,000,000 - 150,000 BC

• The Precursors are the pre-eminent species in thegalaxy, moving beyond sentience into practical godhood. They can traverse galaxies in seconds, control evolution and create life.

• The Precursors seed the Milky Way with life, looking toraise a species worthy of carrying on their stewardship ofthe galaxy.

• The Precursors create the Forerunners and look to elevate them to rule the galaxy, but eventually deem them unworthy of the role. They also create humans.

• The Forerunners go to war with the Precursors.

• The Precursors create the Flood as a final test for both first generation humanity and Forerunners.

• The Precursors are annihilated by the Forerunners. It isn't clear exactly how this happens.

150,000 BC: RISE OF THE FORERUNNERS

• Forerunners have colonised much of the Milky Way thanks to Precursor technology. They are a now peaceful race and help elevate undeveloped races.

• The first generation of humans begins colonising the galaxy using more technology left over from the Precursor era. Their civilisation grows to rival that ofthe Forerunners.
