The following are stated as canon in the great war timeline... How much of it is true and where are the sources from?  I can't seem to locate the validity and don't believe they are true, specifically the dates.

2320:
March:
First official contact with the Vasudan Parliamentary Empire.

It was in march of 2320?

2322:
November:
GTA officials determine the war will not be short. Authorizes the construction of the GTC Leviathan cruiser.

Where did this date come from?

November:
Battle of Gulnara... This defeat leads GTA command to believe that victory is on the horizon. Leviathan production is halted, and the GTA initiates a major offensive.

I'm still not seeing where these dates are coming from?

I don't know about the first date (though I suspect it comes from one of the Vasudan intelligence sections), but I know the two involving the Leviathan come from its tech entry in FS1.

But I don't see any dates though...

Thanks for clearing that up

I really hate that timeline as people keep thinking it's canon while it's not, despite the big banner at the top.

You think that a bit of bold text will make people think differently when a big NOT ALL OF THIS STUFF IS CANON tag didn't?

[Dark Hunter]

If people really want to ignore something, they will. You'd be amazed the number of people I've met that I think are capable of doublethink (or, considering today's world, maybbe you wouldn't).

Oh, the irony...

Was that intentional?

[Dark Hunter]

Er... probably not.

To what are you refering?

It was outlined in white text, not gray (non-canon) - I was confirming the source and I got the answer... What's the big deal?
