Timeline of an X-Files Universe
Including Material from Millennium, Strange Luck and Lone
Gunmen

Since all of this information has come from other sources, I don't feel as though I can
copyright it. Feel free to use it as you wish, within the bounds of other copyrights on
this material. If you like the occasional hypothesis that I have left strewn about
within, please recall where you found it. X-Files, Millennium, Strange Luck, and related
terminology, concepts, and such are owned by ? Entertainment. They are used here without

Notes on sources:
The sources used for this were the episodes and real world history. Books and
Comics were not used. The codes in parentheses indicate the source. Episode titles are
referred to in quotations marks. An "m" before a title refers to a
Millenium episode, and an "s" refers to a "Strange Luck" episode. The
rest of the coding system is loosely based on developed by Larry Nemecek for Star Trek.
The Strange Luck episode "Lightning Strikes" and the X-Files episode
"Millennium" clearly place these series in the X-Files universe.
Following Nemecek's precedent, items marked with a /v contain information based on
visual clues such as computer screen displays, files, and so on. Finally, all items
below that marked with an * are conjectural based on the information on hand, and may be
further explained by a description in brackets.
Dates given in brackets are air dates, which for Millenium episodes appear to generally
match the dates given in the episodes. This usage is less reliable for X-Files
episodes, and utterly unknown for Strange Luck episodes, but it gives me something to work
from.
- The Chronology -
c.4 Billion BP
- A rock containing oily, worm-like organisms capable of penetrating human bodies and
effecting them is allegedly blown off the surface of Mars by a meteor impact. It
eventually finds its way to Earth, near Tunguska ("Terma").
c1400
- A volcano in the Olympia Range erupts, mutating a strain of wood mites ("Darkness
Falls").
c1800
- An EBE may have been frozen into a Yukon glacier about this time, but probably not
("Gethsemene").
c1804
- The Lewis and Clark expedition reports stories of Indians who are able to transform
themselves into wolves ("Shapes").
c1820
- A "coven" of Azazael worshippers settle in Milford Haven, New Hampshire
("Die Hand, Die Verletzt").
1863
- 23 Nov Battle of Chattanooga begins.
- 26 Nov Sullivan Biddle, soldier of the Confederacy, is killed in a
skirmish with Federal troops, while protecting the retreat of Confederate forces from
Chatanooga ("The Field Where I Died").
1864
- The Peacock family moves to Home, Pennsylvania ("Home").
1902
- Walter Chaco is born in Dudley, Arkansas ("Our Town").
1903
- Eugene Victor Tooms is registered as being born, and the first of the killings happen in
the apartment upstairs from his at 66 Exeter Street, Powhattan Mills, Maryland
("Squeeze").
1908
- 30 Jun The Tunguska explosion.
1917
- Harry Cokley is born ("Aubrey").
- 24 Dec Somewhere in Maryland, Maurice and Lydia kill each other
in a lover's pact ("How the Ghosts stole Christmas")
1930
- Ish, a Trego Indian, is born ("Shapes").
1933
- 5 people are mysteriously murdered in Powhattan Mills, Md ("Squeeze").
1934
- A group of WPA loggers vanish in the forests of the Olympia Range, NW coast
("Darkness Falls").
c1935
- *Eddie Van Blundht, Sr. is born with a vestigal tail ("Small Potatoes")
- *The Pennsylvania religious community of the Kindred appear in several photographs
("Genderbender").
1939
- The Cigarette Smoking Man is reported as being a Gestapo agent in Poland (by Mulder in a
hypnotic trance in 1996. Mulder claimed to be a Jewish woman in the Warsaw
Ghetto).("The Field Where I Died"). [While this appears to be one of many
inconsistancies in the CSM's history, the CSM may just be a reincarnation of such an
officer.]
- Sep The liner Queen Anne vanishes in the Bermuda Triangle
("Triangle").
1940
- 20 Aug Trotsky is assasinated in Mexico City, while at the same
moment, the CSM is born in Baton Rouge, LA ("Musings of a Cigarette Smoking
Man"). [This is, of course, assuming that the story "A Second Chance" is in
any way autobiographical. The main character of "A Second Chance" is named Jack
Cloquitt and is probably NOT the CSM's actual name. *Cloquitt*'s father was executed for
espionage before the boy could walk, and his mother died of lung cancer before he could
talk. The boy entered a long series of orphanages.]
1942
- Special Agents Sam Chaney and Tim Ledbetter dissapear in Aubrey, Mo. while investigating
"Stranger Killings" of the "Slash Killer" ("Aubrey").
- Takeo Ishimaru directs the experiments conducted by Unit 731 of the Japanese Medical
Corps, experimenting on human subjects ("731") [Shiro Ishii was the real life
counterpart of Ishimaru].
1943
- 22 Jul The first test of the "The Philadelphia Experiment"
on the USS Eldridge. The Philadelphia Experiment is a project to develop ways to
render ships invisible. It is referred to in "Dod Kalm". Scully says that the
scientists assigned to the project were soon transfered to the Manhattan Project, while
Mulder says that they were relocated to Roswell, Nm [I do feel that I ought to point out
that no real, verifiable, evidence that such a project ever took place has ever turned
up.]
- 12 Aug The second test of the "The Philadelphia Experiment"
on the USS Eldridge. According to Jessup and the Allende papers the US Navy and
the SS Andrew Fursenth are involved in experiments of an invisibility screen. The
experiment goes awry and the ship teleports from Philadelphia to Norfolk, Va. [According
to one rather well known source, this event is one end of a large time vortex that will be
eventually explored and exploited by the government in the Montauk Project, and triggering
other explorations in time and teleportation.]
- 27 Aug The USS Eldridge is actually commissioned and begins
its operating history (according to the Navy).
1944
- Walter Chaco is shot down over New Guinea. He spends six months with the cannibal Jala
tribe ("Our Town")..
1945
- Project ["Operation"] Paperclip is begun to preserve German and Japanese
research data and technicians and bring them to this country ("Paper Clip",
"731", "Nisei"). [The Germans immigrants have been fairly open, but
the protection of the Japanese units from war-crimes trials has allegedly been quite
firm.]
- A B-29 carrying an atomic bomb, with an escort of P-51 Mustangs have a run in with a
"foo fighter" at 171E 42N.
- Everyone crashes and sinks. The Navy sends the submarine Zeus Faber to locate the crash
site, which it does, although of the crew of 144, only 7 return alive ("731",
"Nisei").
- Harry Cokely is arrested and imprisoned for raping and slashing up a Mrs. Thibedeaux
("Aubrey").
1946
- 1st X-File. A case of Lycanthropy in the Northwest coast region ("Shapes").
1947
- A "Jersey Devil" incident causes the opening of an X-File ("Jersey
Devil"). [Note that the "Jersey Devil" in this case is a feral, cannibal
human which bears no resemblance to the winged chimeric creature of the
actual legends.]
- 8 Jul The Roswell Crash is recovered.
- Deep Throat claims the Roswell Crash was a "smokescreen". He also claims that
it was the source of the first alien DNA ("Erlenmeyer Flask"). He also claims
that the crash prompted five nations (US, USSR, UK, Germany, PRC) to reach a secret accord
that any aliens found alive would be killed ("E.B.E") - [although he has been
seen referring to this as "Security Council Resolution 1013 ("Musings of a
Cigarette Smoking Man")]. This may be about when the conspiracy begins.
- In Roswell, New Mexico, members of an all-African-American baseball team, the Roswell
Grays, plays an all white team ("The Unnatural").
1948
- Apr Mulder claims that this is the correct date of the Philadelphia
Experiment's transportation of the USS Eldridge ("Dod Kalm"). Scully

Project, while Mulder says that they were relocated to Roswell, NM

1953
- The CSM appears to be working with Bill Mulder, either in Military Intellegence, or the
State Department (assuming that the stories of the Zeus Faber can be believed in
their entirety) ("731","Nisei","Apocrypha") [Note that *if*
we accept the birthdate of 20 Aug 1940 for CSM, then it is impossible for him to have
interviewed the Zeus Faber survivor in 1953 (he would have been 13, not the 23 he appears.
Also, both he and Bill Mulder are Army captains in 1962].
1954

that she was placed in a foster home (and eventually the CSM tells her that he's her
father and keeps close tabs on her ("Redux II")), it is more likely that she was
abducted and experimented on to try and make her into a human-alien hybrid ("Two
Fathers", "Closure"). Cassandra Spender is abducted for the first
