                    The assault on Earth is disrupted by a costly spoiling attack by Sol Haven Security Forces. 

                    Sol Haven is ungratefully accused by the UP of " Endangering Earth by fostering a warlike atmosphere". 

                    At Alpha Centauri, virtually an entire continent of Eden is rendered uninhabitable.  En mass,

                    the Centauran systems bolt from the UP and join the CMAF.  Earth (again) debates the

                    annexation  of Sol Haven.
                         A simultaneous attack on Far Haven is driven off with some damage to the Haven and a

                    number  of casualties among the defenders (Dani and Billy’s parents, among others, including

                    woman now, not the ‘little sister’ he had once known, and an accomplished, veteran pilot.

2258………   Dani Steele makes a name for herself with her  [ Docking Maneuver ].  Wellington launched.  Billy and

                   Cliff sign up.  Ringer transfers to the 2nd FHR to join them. The four childhood friends reunite aboard the

                   assault  carrier they had helped build, serving together through numerous campaigns.

2263………   Dogwalk is retaken by the NeDan.

2266………   "The Great Kinkus Raid"  Actually the first full scale invasion of a NeDan  world.  Disaster results

                    when the invasion fleet is driven off by unexpected NeDan reinforcements.  CMAF ground forces

                    hold the LZ for 3 days before being overrun.  Surviving units retreat to the hills.  Dani's brother is

                    lost.  The Wellington is destroyed.  Ringer is K/WIA.  CMAF fleet regains space superiority long enough

                    to pick up survivors.  < Tripline >   The war stalemates again.  Armistice talks begin.

 2267- ?……. In the aftermath of Kinkus, Dani, Ringer, and Cliff take the discharges they are offered from the Far Haven

                    CMAF contingent.  Pooling their resources, they buy an old Mark III Turtleback, a contract, and form a

                    freight company.  { Epsilon Express, C.O.D,  Milkrun, overanx32 }  are already available for your reading

                    notes on a pizza delivery story... um...

                    nah.

                   ...well... who knows?  I'll have to sleep on it and consult my muse.

Not everything  is in this timeline of my Havener 'futureverse'.  Some things I have held back because they would spoil the reading of some stories.  And, frankly, I haven't thought of everything I might want to tell and probably never will.  It is a whole universe, after all!
