>7 generations to present: Loss of Qreshi landmass, accompanied by terraforming and resettlement of Qreshi moons
In episode s01e03 The Harvest, Leithian farm-owner Martel is (by his testimony) the son of a Qreshi youngest who came of age just as the family’s land submerged. Thus, the submersion of Qreshi landmass continued at least until ~50yr before T0.
140-210yr before T0: The Seventh Generation Accords
A standard generation of 25yr yields 175 yr. An error margin of 5yr is taken into consideration.
>7 generations to ~30yr before T0: Founding of the RAC
There wouldn’t have been sufficient need/reason for the RAC before Qresh settled its moons and became the Quad. In e01s06 One Blood, Company Security Chief on Westerly Hills Oonan tells senior RAC agent Turin that he “misses the days when [the RAC] was happy just being [the Company’s] errand boys.” Thus, the latest the RAC might’ve been founded is in the early days of Hills’ career, some 20-40yr before T0.
20-30yr before T0: demolition of Sugar Point events
As estimated from the apparent ages of Simon and R’yo.
20-30yr before T0: military black ships moored in the Quad’s asteroid field
As estimated from Hogan’s apparent age
15-19yr before T0: Dutch (then Yalena) comes into the tutelage of Khlyen
Assuming Dutch was 17-21 at the time of her marriage.
~9yr before T0: D’avin enlists and, within a year, withdraws from contact with his family
D’avin alternately says he’d served for 8 to 9 years; he also says he’s been on the Arcturus for 6 months. Johnny and he both say that they’ve been out of contact for 8yr.
6yr before T0: Dutch (then Yalena) marries, is widowed by Khlyen on her marriage day, meets Johnny as he attempts to steal Lucy
Dutch says she is widowed in s01e07 Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. In s01e10 Escape Velocity, Khlyen says that he “tried to” kill her husband. Johnny says that Dutch was in a blood-soaked wedding dress and other details regarding their first meeting in s01e09 Enemy Khlyen. In s01e04 Vessel Dutch says of a royal musical instrument that it “came with [Lucy]”.
3yr before T0: D’avin’s and Johnny’s mother dies
As told by Johnny in s01e01 Bangarang. He says that “she had Quincy pretty bad for the last few years [of her life]”.
1-2yr before T0: D’avin undergoes a Chrysalis activation, leaves the service in the aftermath
It is repeatedly stated that had been his “last mission”. It is unknown how much time passed between that mission and his discharge (and indeed whether that was a medical discharge and an end-of-contract), or between his discharge and his boarding the Arctorus. However, from other figures it may be inferred that both these periods together are approximately a year.
6mo-1yr before T0: D’avin tracks Dr. Jaegar at their homeworld, after which she leaves for the Quad
6mo before T0: D’avin boards the Arctorus fight ship as an indentured fighter
Notably, the Level 5 warrant for D’avin was issued as soon as the Arctorus entered Quad jurisdiction and regardless of its intent (or lack thereof) to let D’avin go. Thus, it stands to reason that wherever D’avin had boarded the Arctorus, it’s taken it 6mo to reach the Quad - giving us an estimate of the size of the J Cluster, and the relative difficulty of interstellar travel in this setting.
T0 to +3da: Episode s01e01 Bangarang, occurring within 48-72hr
When Dutch finds out about the warrant from Bellus, it has approximately 36 hours on it
Day 10 after T0: s01e02 Sugar Point
Dutch says D’avin has been staying on their ship for a week; the warrant is concluded within the day.
Days 12-15 after T0: s01e03 The Harvest
Dutch’s target is still alive and conscious, though she hasn’t given him water in “a few days”; given the heat on Westerly, 2da seems the most reasonable. The warrant takes place over two days, with Johnny having the surgery the morning after.
T0.5: Episode s01e05 Glitch In The System
The timing of s01e04 Vessel relative to s01e03 The Harvest, or s01e05 relative to s01e04, is unknown. However, it may be inferred that s01e04 was within days of s01e03 (as D’avin was highly inexperienced and the Level 4 which opened the episode seemed to be his first in many ways) and that s01e05 was anything from a few days to a few weeks after that. s01e05 unfolds over the span of a single day, with the possible exception of the last two scenes (D’avin and Pawter, Dutch and Khlyen).
Days 2-3 after T0.5: s01e06 One Blood
s01e06 opens the same day/night on which Khlyen threatened Johnny and D’avin to gain Dutch’s cooperation - which happened at the end of s01e05. Upon her return to Lucy, D’avin says he worked with Pawter “all day”, indicating at least one day had passed since the events on the Aegis. The Black Warrant seems to be issued night of the same day; it is concluded the next day.
Days 4-5 after T0.5: s01e07 Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Pawter says Hills had arrested her “last night”, which happened in s01e06. The break into the mental hospital occurs night of the same day, with events relating to Jaeger occurring the day after that.
Day 15 after T0.5: s01e08 Come the Rain
Stated to be 10da after the events of the previous episode.
18-24da after T0.5: s01e09 Enemy Khlyen, s01e10 Escape Velocity
In s01e09 Dutch bring D’avin his clothes from Lucy, suggesting it’s been a few days to a week since his leaving at the end of the previous episode. s01e10 begins mere hours after s01e09.
Known canon periods (s01e01-s01e03, s01e05-s01e08) total to 30 days. That suggests the events of season 01 unfold over a total of 40-60 days.
