Work in progress! This article is being rewritten to current wiki standards.

The following is a timeline for Xenogears, adapted from the game's script and other sources, such as translations of Perfect Works. Due to a majority of sources being unofficially translated, there will be errors, and it should not be taken word for word. Please check citations and notes for unclear dates, clarifications, translation errors, and contradictions, as well as to help with future corrections.

For a finished version, please see the Xeno Series Wiki's Timeline page.

While there are many similarities between the two, please do not put events from Xenosaga here, as it is a separate timeline.

Early Third Millennium

A.D. 2001

The Zohar.

• On Earth, the prophecies left behind by "an extraordinary prophet" do not come to pass, and humanity enters a new millennium.
• A mysterious object is unearthed from stratum that is approximately 3.9 billion years old. Despite this, the object has an artificial appearance, including an eye.
  • Before it could be carbon-dated, a research institution puts forth the hypothesis that the object is an "artificial" panspermia, making it the origin of terrestrial life. This leads to a wave of additional theories and arguments, clouding speculation.
• When the object is finally carbon-dated as over 15 billion years old, it revitalizes a new wave of theories, some of which wondered if its source was of "God".
• Due to its strong magnetic properties, it is named MAM ("Magnetic Abnormal Matter") out of convenience.
• Research on MAM is conducted on a national level until budgeting problems arose, halting any progress.
  • A group of voluntary researchers privately continues their research of MAM, eventually giving it another name: the Zohar.

A.D. 2510

• The Space Emigration Project begins with the goal of emigrating humanity into space. The newly founded Directorate aims to complete the project in fifteen years.
• T.C. (Transcend Christ) is adopted, and the length of a year is shifted to 365 days.

T.C. 0016

• After sixteen years of development, a fleet of immigrant ships depart Earth.
• Afterward, for unknown reasons, Earth becomes a "forbidden land" and is re-named "Lost Jerusalem."

T.C. 0294

• The Immigrant Fleet reaches the M24 Small Sagittarius Star Cloud and deploy ships to discover possible inhabitable planets. Finding one, they make landfall. The planet becomes humanity's new "promised land" and is named Neo Jerusalem.

T.C. 0295

• The Star Cluster Federation is inaugurated. Neo Jerusalem becomes its first Prime Star.
  • The Directorate is unified and reorganized.
  • The first President is elected.
  • Neo Jerusalem is chosen as the chief cardinal point for humanity as they continue their exploration through the stars.

Interstellar War Era (Episode I)

T.C. 47xx

• Various small nations band together to form a galactic federation, which is held together and governed by the Directorate.
• Skirmishes begin between frontier nations. Rivalries, space pirates, and similar conflicts become an accepted norm. Interstellar war breaks out.

T.C. 4743

• Due to the efforts of a group of archaeologists, MAM is discovered in a cargo hold of a "museum carrier" ship belonging to a "pilgrim fleet" of an ancient wandering religious sect.

T.C. 4744

• Analysis of MAM resumes.

T.C. 4750

• Due to research on MAM, the theory of phenomenon phase shift is born.

T.C. 4751

• Project Zohar is launched, centering around using MAM to prove and master the theory of phenomenon phase shift.

T.C. 4752

• Interstellar strife intensifies.

T.C. 4761

• Abel is born.

T.C. 4765

• Due to an unknown accident, the planet hosting Project Zohar disappears.
  • MAM is found nearby floating in space and recovered.

T.C. 4766

• Kadomony is installed directly into MAM's eye, nearly completing work on the Zohar.
  • Much like MAM, the nature of Kadonomy's inner workings, having been produced by an "over-technology", is unknown.
  • Having been constructed to be contained within the Zohar, Kadonomy is surmised to be made of the same material.
• In order to put an end to the interstellar war, System Deus is completed after being under development for some time.
  • The Zohar is designated Deus's main power source, with Kadonomy serving as the Deus system's control.

T.C. 4767

Abel sees the Original Elehayym.

• Three months after the Zohar is made Deus' main power source, a series of experiments are conducted to test the connection between the Zohar and Deus. Taking place on a space station orbiting the planet Miktam04β, which was undergoing terraforming, the experiments were kept top secret, even from the military.
  • During the tests, the Zohar begins to examine "infinite potential phenomena".
    • Requiring more power, the Zohar connects to an upper dimensional space, where all is waves. In the process, it 'synchronizes' with the one existence there: the Wave Existence.
      • Falling through the Path of Sephirot to a four-dimensional world, the Wave Existence is forced to materialize itself within the Zohar, becoming bound to it.
    • Now trapped, the Wave Existence makes contact with a young boy named Abel, who was there for unknown reasons.
      • Abel's "desire to return to his mother", his "inner desire to return to the womb", is passed on to the Wave Existence, who embodies these human traits as "the mother's will".
      • Wanting to escape its "'cage of fleshly existence'", the Wave Existence realizes it needs to be released by Abel, since he was the one who gave it a 'will'.
    • The Wave Existence is split into the three parts: will, power, and body.
      • Its will is incarnated through a newly evolved Kadomony, becoming the original version of Elehayym, as well as an embodiment of the Persona, Kadomony's central element.
      • Its power is channeled through the Zohar into Abel, enabling him to be reborn over and over again as the Contact until the Wave Existence is freed from the Zohar.
      • Its body stays trapped in the Zohar.
• At some point afterwards, Deus goes out of control and invades the surrounding colonies, resulting in innumerable causalities. The military manages to subdue Deus at the cost of many lives, and place it in suspended animation.
• All three core components (Kadamony, Zohar, and Deus) are individually disassembled and sealed off from one another.

• 

  The Eldridge.

  In order to investigate what caused the accident, the interstellar colony ship Eldridge is requisitioned by the military to transport the cores, as well as the 1.2 million survivors, to another star system.
  • Special Forces Colonel Shigeyoshi Inoue from the Technology Research Headquarters is temporarily made the Eldridge's captain, with eight military personnel serving as the bridge crew.
  • Abel is one of the survivors that boards the Eldridge.

Xenogears Intro

The Eldridge crash.

• At an unknown point inflight, Deus's main body, referred to as 'Omega 1', unexpectedly activates.
  • Kadomony's Persona, which is referred to as 'Alpha 1', is activated.
    • An operator confirms an "exon replacement" on Kadomony's "genome", marking Kadonomy's shift to "Deus Control Mode".
  • Kadomony accesses Razael, the Eldridge's mainframe.
  • The bridge crew tries to contain Deus with different methods, but Deus gains control.
  • Deus takes control of 98% of the Eldridge's weaponry. Ship machinery seem to come alive and savagely attack passengers and crew.
    • After accessing and altering the autopilot system, Deus shifts the Eldridge into space displacement mode and plots a course to Lost Jerusalem.
  • Captain Inoue makes the decision to abandon the Eldridge in order to stop Deus. He calls the engine room to activate the emergency sealing system, but the engine room is already overtaken.
  • The monitor screens in the bridge fill with the repeating text: "You shall be as gods."
  • Captain Inoue orders all crew and passengers to evacuate.
    • The ship's external weapon systems attack departing spacecraft.
• As a last resort measure, Captain Inoue uses a secret line to activate the bolts of the Spinal Shaft system holding the Eldridge's sections together, effectively dismantling the ship and sealing its fate.
  • The Eldridge is forced out of space displacement mode as it becomes unable to maintain mass balance, and is caught in the gravity of a nearby planet.
  • The heat of the Eldridge's uncontrolled atmospheric entry disintegrates its hull. Only blocks with emergency navigational ability are able to survive the landing intact.
• Several pieces of the Eldridge scatter across the planet.
  • The Babel block of the front hull later becomes known as Babel Tower.
  • The 2nd block of the front hull, a large scale plant, later gets used as a part of Shevat.
  • Unspecified remnants are later used to construct the first base of Solaris.
  • Several vessels aboard the ship are later excavated by future civilizations, such as the Excalibur (No. 1), Excalibur (No. 2), and the Land Cruiser that would eventually be incorporated into the Yggdrasil IV.
• Having determined that it will not escape being injured upon impact, Deus separates from Kadomony.
  • The central block containing Deus' physical body, as well as the supercomputer Razael, falls to the ocean floor, where Deus begins its long slumber until the day of its resurrection. The area becomes known by the block's name: Mahanon.
    • Due to Razael's records regarding Deus, the area would later be blocked off by the Gazel Ministry using Gate technology to avoid those records from falling into the wrong hands.

• Just before the Zohar's body lands, Kadomony separates itself to land on a coastline, while the Zohar itself lands near the planet's pole. Despite a successful landing, a section of its essential parts, the Anima Relics, are scattered across the globe.

• The only survivor of the Eldridge is Abel, who survives due to being the Contact.

Primordial Era (Episode II)

0000

The mother of humanity arises naked from the wreckage.

The mother of humanity's remains resting in the supercomputer Kadomony.

• Kadomony activates System HAWWA, transforming Elehayym into the mother of humanity, also called 'Original Myyah'.
  • Using Kadomony's biological assembler plant, she creates Cain, the first human, and the twelve members of the Gazel Ministry from the original parts of Animus.
    • The Gazel Ministry's task was to search for the Anima Relics, while the immortal Cain was to manage them.
• The mother of humanity, in order to follow the two conflicting objectives within her, creates the first incarnations of Elehayym and Myyah. She then lays her body to rest inside Kadomony.
  • Elehayym, known as the Antitype, inherits the will of the 'Mother' and would be born the same time as the Contact, after which she would seek him out.
  • Myyah Hawwa inherits the role of the "Weapon", focusing on shaping and managing humanity to become parts for Deus by any means necessary.
    • Instead of being reincarnated with a new body like Elehayym, Myyah would 'awaken' in at least one female host each time she died.
  • The last incarnation of Elehayym would awaken as the last host of Myyah on the day of resurrection and merge with Deus, as the two of them are needed to complete its final form.

Xenogears - Lonely

Abel and Elehayym meet.

• The newly created Elehayym finds a seven year old Abel, and the two develop a relationship of mother and child.

Elly dies while protecting Abel.

• Cain carries out his plan to kill Abel.
  • Elehayym severely admonishes Cain in order to save Abel's life, but Cain insists on carrying out his plan.
  • As Abel and Elehayym flee from Cain, Elly uses her body to shield Abel from Cain's attack. She tells Abel to live before she passes away in his arms.
    • Myyah silently observes and does not intervene.
    • Abel's final fate is unclear.
    • Realizing that he killed an embodiment of the mother of humanity, Cain would later grow concerned with the fate of humanity.

0012-5999

• At two unknown points of time, Myyah "resets" humanity for unstated reasons.
• Worship of Cain slowly expands over time.
  • Cain and the others use remnants of the Eldridge to construct a base of operations, creating the original base of what would become the Holy Empire Solaris several centuries later.
    • This base is used for research on humans and reforming them, in order to prepare for Deus' revival.

The Birth of Nisanism

9088

• Adoriel, a person who had the rare ability to use Ether, starts the Nisan Sect from her own house.
  • As word of Adoriel's abilities spread, what started as a local doctrine grew into a religion.

  • Solaris' citizens are manipulated and brainwashed into being loyal to Cain.

• Over time, Solaris uses its well-organized military and advanced technology to conquer the surface country by country, taking advantage of the surface's chaotic sociopolitical landscape in order to accelerate the M Plan (or 'Malakh Plan').
  • People are abducted and experimented on with gene manipulation, remaking them into parts for powerful biological weapons called Malakh, or Angels, which would serve as Deus' weapons, as well as parts for the Merkava.
    • As the invasion progresses, Soylent System facilities are established all over the world.
  • During these invasions, the Gazel Ministry continue their search for the Anima Relics.
  • While Solaris' preparations are progressing, all Cain and the Ministry can do is to wait for the reappearance of the third element needed for Deus' resurrection: the Mother, Elehayym.

Graph of the early Nisan Sect's structure of power. (scanned & translated by UltimateGraphics)

• At some point, in exchange for aid to Nisan, Emperor Xerxes Laodicia was granted the power to ordain bishops in each diocese.
  • Xerxes requests the Nisan Church for the authority to directly select the next Holy Mother, which would ensure the next one is a supporter of his dynasty, further intertwining Nisan with Nimrod.
  • Nisan officials strongly oppose Xerxes's request, holding fast to the traditional process of selecting the Holy Mother through the support of various Cardinals.
  • To bypass this, Nimrod attempts to appease the bishops of each diocese that had the power to ordain a Holy Mother, in order to persuade them to Xerxes's cause.
  • In order to keep Nimrod from taking control, the Cardinals rearrange the power structure of Nisan, as well as appoint their most prominent member, Penuel, as the First Prelate.
  • As the First Prelate, Penuel now had the sole authority to ordain the next Holy Mother.
    • Nimrod attempts to win Penuel over, but with the intervention of the other Cardinals, Nimrod's influence is halted.
  • Despite these measures, a number inside Nisan disagreed with the Cardinals' choosing of Penuel as the First Prelate.

9488

• Penuel selects the thirteen year old Elehayym as candidate for the position of the Holy Mother.
  • Elehayym's name is possibly changed to Sophia at this date.
• As candidates are selected, the power play between church factions ignites behind the scenes.
  • As Penuel's faction is drawn into the infighting, Sophia feels personally responsible and begins to wish for her own death.
• Frustrated by the cardinals' opposition, Xerxes plots the assassination of Penuel and Sophia.
  • Xerxes hires a squad of mercenaries and elects Karellen, who was known for his military prowess as well as his cold-hearted demeanor, as its leader.
• Disguising themselves as part of the anti-Penuel faction that had recently risen within the church, Karellen's group leads an attack on a monastery Penuel was visiting, and takes advantage of the chaos to carry out their orders.
  • When Karellen goes to assassinate Sophia, she smiles and thanks him. Charmed by her innocent, sad smile, Karellen is unable to complete his mission.
  • Karellen flees with Sophia, serving as her protector from then on.
  • Most of the Penuel Faction are killed in the attack, including Cardinal Penuel himself. Meanwhile, Penuel's niece, Sieglinde, goes missing.

9490

• The Laodicia Dynasty collapses. Xerxes Laodicia is murdered.
• Due to the death of Penuel and the sudden collapse of the Laodicia dynasty, the Nisan Sect undergoes a schism between the remains of the Penuel faction and the other dioceses.
  • The Nisan Sect ceases to function as a religious organization and begins its decline.
  • The remains of the Penuel faction move to present day Nisan, with the hopes of reconstructing and reviving Nisanism. However, without a Holy Mother, their plans were fruitless. Focus eventually shifts to religious practice instead.

• By this time, Cain, feeling that humanity should be entrusted with their own future, removes himself from the forefront, leaving both Myyah and the Gazel Ministry to manage governing Solaris themselves.
  • As a consequence of Cain's absence, Myyah's governing power over Solaris grows to be on par with Gazel Ministry. Having say over the Gazel Ministry, Myyah becomes the hidden ruler of Solaris.
• Nisan takes in wounded soldiers, who are nursed by Sophia and her followers, the 'Kahal'.
  • Due to her initiative, Sophia is revered as the "Holy Mother", becoming a symbol for the surface army despite her wishes otherwise.
• Nisan is caught up in the war's outbreak as the Nisan Monk Corps fight to protect it. In time, these forces are incorporated into the Alliance's army, as consensus in Nisan overrules Sophia's own objections.
  • While most of the Monk Corps are incorporated into Shevat, some of them remain to protect Nisan.
  • Lacan's post, the Mobile Strike Force, is incorporated into Shevat. They are assigned to specialized missions and front line reinforcement.
  • While the Supply Corps' relationship with the ground armies was initially one of business, their adaptability and speed made them useful as a mobile Corps, which necessitated the need for military accompaniment to protect their supplies. Gradually, they became a force all their own comparable to the Nisan Monk Corps.
• Sieglinde meets and forms a close bond with Rene. The two eventually marry.
• Karellen begins studying under Melchior.
  • Karellen borrows Kim's partial thesis from Melchior.
    • Karellen completes work on a nanoreactor, which he hopes will save people's lives and help Sophia.
• During the war, more and more surface dwellers display abilities to use Ether, something which requires an ability to "interfere" with the Zohar.
  • These abilities, formed over the evolution of several generations, made these humans, as forms of Animus, far superior for Myyah's purposes than the Gazel Ministry, who were the original forms of Animus and, as a result, lack such abilities.
    • Myyah theorized that these humans, if aligned with an Anima Relic, would make for far better parts for Deus's weaponry. This, in turn, would better ensure Deus's success in future space battles with hostile forces.
    • Due to this, Myyah decides on resetting humanity again, in order to ensure those with Ether abilities would survive.
  • The Gazel Ministry, eager to resurrect Deus and merge with Deus, see Myyah as a nuisance. Opposition grows between Myyah and the Gazel Ministry.

9499

• Shevat's Elders send a thirteen year old Zephyr to Nisan as an emissary. During her stay, Zephyr is treated with the same level of respect as Sophia.

• 

  "Faith in god... Do not look for it on the outside... For it is something one must build from within oneself..."

  Sophia gives a sermon at the Nisan Cathedral.
• At some point, Zephyr and her escorts fight on the front lines, operating as a mobile troop force.

    • Gasper leads soldiers and fights on the front lines.
    • Melchior's nanotechnology research is used for healing and the development of new Gear types.
• Inspired by Sophia and Nisan, the Anti-Solaris Alliance closes in on Solaris' initial lead in the war.
