The History of the Colonial Tribes

So far, we don't have much:

-indefinite Humans evolve on a planet other than the 12 Colonies, most likely Earth

-indefinite Humans leave Earth for Kobol

-5000 (?) Humans should have developed advanced sailing at least a milennium before the advent of the FTL drive. The age of Enlightenment should have begun, creating a philosophy of Ethics ("imperative")

-4000 The human race knows FTL travel and are situated on Kobol

-4000 A "13th tribe" leaves Kobol

-3600 Pythian Prophecies are authored on handwritten scrolls

-2000 The 12 tribes leave for the Colonies. A cataclysm befalls them and a dark age begins (which I find very unlikely, RDM!!!)

-53 (approx.) Start of CW 1

-41 Armistice signed

-0 CW2, destruction of the Colonies and exodus of the remaining humans.
