| 2060 | One year after the disappearance of the gilderstein L5 lab, intelligence about the disappearance has been confirmed. Plans are made for the VRC. |
| 2067 | The VRC is formed. Its initial charter is to be a deepspace exploration company which will exploit any valuable mineral, metal and biological resources it can find. |
| 2070 | First mining operations have started in a remote system. Investments are high, but profitability is expected within 5 years. |
| 2077 | First company owned FTL ship is launched as company directors decide that dependence on ITTT is a potential risk to the stability and profitability of the company. |
| 2093 | System LTT 2380 is surveyed and planet PB 2380.4 is discovered. Planet has potential, but will need some terraforming. |
| 2102 | System BD+10'1050 is surveyed. It contains one habitable but harsh planet(PB 1050.1). Terraforming is again recommended. |
| 2121 | System LTT 11655 is surveyed. Two planets are discovered in the same orbit and seem perfect, as no terraforming is deemed necessary. Scientists conclude that these planets have already been terraformed and placed in this orbit, which information is quickly made top secret. |
| 2125 | Commando training on planet PB 11655.1b starts. Graduates of the first training nickname the planet "the Dark Side". |

A year after the start of the First Solar War, the charter of the VRC is
changed to include the discovery of remote planets and the resettlement of
people to these planets. Terraforming of planet PB 2380.4 is started after the necessary technology is quietly acquired. The planet is named Goede Hoop. Main base is being moved to system LTT 2380, and a shipyard is started. Biotech and other research programs are started to achieve an independent knowledge base for future terraforming projects. Work begins on the creation of a spiderweb of dummy corporations and front offices to obfuscate the real economic and military assets of the VRC. |

Terraforming of planet PB 1050.1 is started. It is named Tweede Kans. First large scale immigration to a still harsh planet Goede Hoop. |
| 2159 | Large scale immigration to planet Tweede Kans starts. |
| 2166 | The start of the Third Solar War starts the move to create a second major base of operations in system LTT 11655. Massive resources are required so mining operations and immigration are stepped up significantly. |
| 2174 | A major accident didn't happen in a high security xenobiology lab which didn't exist. In order to limit the non-existing damage, the lab wasn't destroyed by an anti-matter bomb, which is technology we don't possess either. |
