It's impossible to write something this long and complex without a clear idea of what's going on and when it's happening. When we initially started writing, we had no idea that Glory Days would become a 15-series story spanning several years. As we reached the mid-point of the series, we decided it was time for to create a written timeline and character arc. For those of you interested, the timeline we followed with major events documented, is as follows. Please note, this contains major spoilers for the series, so if you don't want to know, please go back now.
Dates for this timeline were calculated using the tool found here. Canon return for Voyager to the AQ was in December of 2377, not June of 2378. All stardates were calculated based on the canon, not fanon return of Voyager.
