Play the events that lead up to WC1


Abstract

First part spans from the Iason Incident (2629.105) up to Clusters Carnival. Problem: According to the CIC's timeline, Cluster's Carnival takes place in 2644; but according to wcrevival's more detailed timeline, it happens in 2649 ...

A possible Part Two might overlap WC2-WC3. As of this writing, work is just commencing, and therefore the stuff below pertains exclusively to Part 1.
