Notes

  1. Established as occuring in 2502 by the timeline in StarCraft II: Heaven's Devils, the month can be obtained by 2500 relative timing, placing Mengsk's coronation in March. The January-March dates for Newsworthy can be obtained through this method.
  2. This occurs 18 months after the raid on Umoja, which occurs in September, 2500 through relative timing. This raises the issue of Valerian's D.O.B., with his mother's death occurring a month before his birth, which in the original timeline would have fit in without contradiction. Given the placing of this event in the timeline in Heaven's Devils, it appears that the time of death has been roughly retained, even if the death-birth deletion has been rendered null.
  3. Happens after the above dates, as per placing in the timeline.
  4. These events occur before Forst's attempted heist, but their timing in regards to the relatively timed material below is unclear.
