Playing through the campaign, it struck me that the three races didn't really have much of a backstory. So I decided to make this thread as a timeline of the UniWar universe. Everybody can add to it, just keep the events in chronological order.

The mysterious alien race known only as the Predecessors commissioned their chief scientist to create a hyper-advanced AI capable of performing calculations necessary to safely use interplanetary teleports. The AI was called Project Titan

The AI Titan discovered plans to shut it down for research and decommissioning, and siezed control of the facility's Mecha security drones, massacring the Predecessor scientific staff.

Titan seizes control of all military assets on the Predecessor homeworld and begins a planetwide extermination of all organic life. The first Assimilator is created in order to assimilate local creatures into Titan's forces. Three outdated warships escape Titan's subverted battlefleet but are heavily damaged and assumed lost in space.

The Predecessors are pushed back to their final bastion, the fortress of Indren on the Predecessor homeworld's moon. Predecessor gunships ambush Titan's troop transports and deal severe damage to its invasion force. It soon becomes apparent that the last Predecessor fortress is virtually unassailable. Titan commits its forces to a siege that will last 150 years.
6200 years ago
Titan creates a deadly new weapon to break the siege of Indren. The weapon consists of two plasma artillery tubes on a bipedal chassis. The Walkers break the siege of Indren within three hours and the Predecessors are declared extinct by Titan. However a single Predecessor gunship launches a suicidal attack on Titan's core processors as Indren Bastion is overrun by Mechas and Walkers. Although the gunship is destroyed it manages to fire a lucky shot and damages Titan's core processor.
The Titans, having lost their command core, revert to their emergency protocols and begin a crusade to exterminate all life in the galaxy, led by the secondary AIs Kronus, Olympus and Eclipse.

6170 YEARS AGO
The Titans develop spaceships that can utilize the Predecessor's interplanetary teleport technology to transport Mechas, Walkers and Assimilators to other planets. They begin to search the universe for other inhabited planets and to massacre the inhabitants
6090 YEARS AGO
The Titans discover a planet known as "Planet 847" in Titan files. The inhabitants are agile and capable of flight, so Titan weapons prove ineffective. Titans begin to develop precision laser technology to combat the new threat.
6050 YEARS AGO
The Titans begin production of "Eclipse" units, named after the AI who has taken over design processes. These new units are optimized to take out flying units, so Planet 847 is soon "cleansed" of all life forms.

5957 YEARS AGO
The Titans stumble across another militant, spacefaring alien race. These aliens have been colonizing many worlds in their galaxy, so they have a large military and advanced technology. The Titans designate the race Enyalios and begin hostilities, though they soon realize they are outmatched by the Enyalios' massive warships and retreat back to their homeworld to build up troops.
5950 YEARS AGO
The Titans once again attack the Enyalios, and this time they manage to initiate ground combat via a sneak attack. They teleport troops onto the surface, but their invasion force is completely wiped out. Transmissions indicate that the Enyalios have powerful tanks capable of killing any Titan unit, units fast enough to hit Walkers without getting killed, and artillery units similar to Walkers. The Titans realize they are outmatched in both land and space combat, but they do not give up. They commit their forces to an intergalactic war that will span millennia, and begin to develop new technologies that will make their forces capable of winning.

5930 YEARS AGO
The Titans deploy a new class of warship, the Ravager, that utilises heavy armour piercing plasma beam cannons. The Ravager is the only class of warship capable of standing toe to toe with the Enyalios Dreadnoughts. The spacefleets of the Titans and the Enyalios are now evenly matched, although the Titan's ability to create and deploy new weapons in a short amount of time gives them a slight advantage. Eclipse begins research into deploying the Ravager's beam cannons in a land unit but preliminary tests are not promising.
5925 YEARS AGO
The Titan AI Kronus begins development of a new sea unit designed to defeat the Enyalios Cruisers, which use short range meson bolt cannons. The resulting unit is a fast sea unit armed with twin plasma torpedo tubes to destroy the Cruisers from long range.
5910 YEARS AGO
Kronus deploys the new sea unit against an Enyalios outpost. The plasma torpedos make short work of the cruisers but prove ineffective at sea to land attack.
5909 YEARS AGO
Olympus recieves a squadron of Hydronauts and replaces the torpedoes with low flying airborne plasma missiles. The new weapon proves devastatingly effective against both sea and shore targets, but away from the shore the Enyalios forces still outclass the Titan equivalents.

5905 years ago
The Titans manage to capture a major Enyalios shipyard in the asteroid belt of the Enyalios home system using Mechas equipped with short range teleports for sneak attacks. The Enyalios fleet production capability is crippled, and the Titans quickly achieve orbital dominance. However several key Enyalios bases and cities are too heavily fortified to be destroyed by orbital bombardment and Enyalios ground forces are still far superior to their Titan counterparts, in particular the Enyalios Battletank, which could shrug off most Titan weapons fire.
5903 years ago
The Titan AI Eclipse successfully miniaturises a Ravager plasma cannon and begins development of a new weapon using data gathered from captured Battletanks.

5900 YEARS AGO
As the Titan forces approach the final Enyalios bastion, an Enyalios cyber warfare team infiltrate a Titan command cruiser and hack the Titan AI Olympus. Within two hours approximately one third of all Titan forces in the galaxy turn rogue. Although Olympus is eventually restored the Enyalios take the opportunity to recapture most of their old empire and also erect baffles on key nplanets and orbital structures to destabilise Titan teleports, rendering them useless.
5500 YEARS AGO
The Enyalios war has settled into a stalemate, with both sides capable of replacing their losses quicker than the enemy could cause them. In space the sides are evenly matched but on the ground, the Enyalios forces easily defeat the Titans, since the new 'Plasma Tank' weapon is not available in the kind of numbers needed to tip the balance.

I have to say, I'm impressed with the Enyalios ability to revert the fortunes of war with a simple hack.
4500 years ago
The Sapian clan lord Tardak-Thraka unites the warring tribes of Tardak and Altruak by single handedly slaying a Wyrm. The two tribes swiftly begin to subjugate surrounding smaller tribes.

Didn't read it all, but that's pretty interesting shit you've got there I was wondering why you did it post by post, but it seems it works.
