| 2850 | Remote probe explores the Wolf359 system and finds a 'habitable' world. |
| 2870 | LeTappier's engineering and science team build the first working prototype superluminal ship 'PROMETHEUS'. |
| 2875 | Wolf Colony Ltd. formed in Great Britain (Earth) and successfully bids for the rights to the Wolf359 System. Wolf Colony Trust of London (Britain, Earth) created. |
| 2876 | Royal family asked to bless project. Prince Albert (5th in line to the British throne) becomes head of the project. |
| 2878 | Colony ship leaves Earth for Wolf359 system, lead by Prince Albert. |
| 2879 | Colony ship 'Land of Hope & Glory' lands on Wolf359/4. Planet named Wolf. Prince Albert crowned King Albert VII. Ceremony held on landing ramp of colony ship. Landing site named New London. Wolf settled by the first wave of Wolf Colony Limited colonists. King Albert renounces all claims to the British throne. |
| 2880-2930 | Extensive terra forming performed on planet. Leaves Wolf as a very poor colony, but with a bright future. |
| 2900-2930 | THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WAR. The Commonwealth escaped very lightly in the 'war' as the Commonwealth has always had a zero tolerance policy in regard to AI's. Any AI's discovered are always dismantled. They have no rights within the confines of the commonwealth. |
| 2920 | Due to a lack of support from Earth before and during the war and the increasingly unsupportable demands of the Solar Republic, a motion is put before parliament in New London calling for independence from the Solar Republic. The motion is passed unanimously and independence from the Republic is declared. |
| 2922-2923 | THE WAR OF INDEPENDANCE. In 2922, the Solar Republic sent a small fleet to retake control of the newly independent 'Commonwealth'. This fleet was comprehensively beaten at the outer edges of the Wolf359 system by Admiral George Farquar Jones. The battle and Admiral Jones' tactical dissertations have become required reading for all Fleet Academy graduates. No further attempts were made by the Republic to retake the Commonwealth and the Republic recognised The Wolf359 Commonwealth as an independent state in 2924. |
| 2924 | The Wolfers make their first serious attempt at colonising worlds outside the Wolf359 system. New Edo and Barba are selected. It takes a third of the Wolfer's reserves to mount these missions. Due to competition, the New Edo colony is eventually abandoned. However the colonising of Barba is a success and quickly draws colonists, due to its mild climate and lack of required terra forming. |
| 2926 | The second and last major wave of colonists arrive on Wolf. These tend to be high tech specialists who were offered favourable working conditions by the Wolf government. This leads to a massive expansion of Wolf's high tech base, eventually leading Wolf to its pre-eminent position in high technology areas that it has today. |

Unauthorised traffic is banned from the area around the fifth planet in the Evangelou system. |
| 3002 | Knight Protectors of the Great Kingdom formed to protect Wolf359 home systems. Based on Wolf itself. |
| 3008 | The only maximum security rated prison in the Commonwealth is built in the newly colonised Rimmer system. The prison is designed for hardened criminals or prisoners who have committed capital crimes. Prisoners are currently used in mining operations. Restrictions on traffic apply in the vicinity of the prison. |
| 3009 | Elizabeth departs on her 'Grand Tour' to the Union of Xyon and MAFC to improve relations between the three polities. She was very successful, especially in regards to relations with the Union which were put on a very positive footing, which was to last until the 'Venerian Mutiny'. |

| 3028 | P05 colonised. (Quadrant 5). |
| 3048 | Asvina colonised. (Quadrant 5). |
| 3070 | The Battle of Romulus marked the beginning of a resurgence of nationalist tensions within the Universe. Fear of renewed Earther expansionism and militarism led to a growing interstellar arms race and escalating tension. Earther actions on the rebellious colony of Romulus were taken as a general indication of their future intentions. |
| 3072 | King Andrew I dies aged 112 and King Stephen I ascends throne. |
| 3074 | King Stephen I dies aged 85 and Queen Ann I ascends throne. Queen Ann dies in a tragic hover lift accident aged 53. The Commonwealth mourns a very popular public figure. King Mark I ascends the throne. |
| 3093 | The Venerian Mutiny marked the start of a tense two years, when the MAFC and Wolf Commonwealth nearly found themselves at war with the Earth Empire. Several small colonial skirmishes nearly touched off general war in Q0. It also marked the end of the very close relations between the Commonwealth and Union who found themselves in strong disagreement over how the situation should be handled. |
| 3095 | Congress of Gorilla at which the Earth Empire acceded to the creation of the Venerian Republic under intense pressure from New Mars and the Wolf 359 Commonwealth. |

| 3196-3200 | THE EXTERMINATOR WAR. Despite the on-set of the Exterminator war and the threat to humanity that that implied, the Commonwealth government of the time was content to carry on its isolationist policy and neglect of the armed forces and to let other larger polities fight the war on its behalf. However, a highly damning report commissioned by His Majesty King Stabilo directly led to the liberal governments downfall in 3199 and the election of the progressive party, who immediately instigated an unprecedented program of military spending on all the services which led to a thousand percent increase in the Commonwealth's military strength over this period. The new Government was keen to make up for lost time and a large Commonwealth force (almost the entire RN) was sent to Q5 early in 3200. This fleet participated in the battle of Z'ha'Dum. (In fact the Prime Minister's nephew was Captain of the vessel that eventually destroyed the Exterminator base.) Commonwealth forces were also involved in the first and second battles of Tuskan in Q7 with Admiral of the Grey Wolf Sir Rodger Farley commanding the combined human forces in the second battle. |
| 3200 | Relations between the Union of Xyon and Commonwealth start to markedly improve, almost returning to the levels of co-operation found before the 'Venerian Mutiny' in 3093. |
| 3201 | Icebox (Quadrant 0) and Savory (Quadrant 5) join the Commonwealth. |
