Praimfaya 1.0 - history, timeline, the Ark and more

So I’ve been watching season 3 and decided to gather all the information about the first Praimfaya, Becca Pramheda, Eligius ship and Unity Day and put it into chronological order.

History:

1959 - The Mount  Weather Emergency Operations Center is founded (it is based on actual facility, JRoth confirmed it). It is constructed to house senior US officials in the event of a nuclear war. 

It is safe to assume, Mount Weather was inhabited by descendants of the US government and military officials that survived the nuclear apocalypse in the underground bunker. 

It’s in Blue Ridge Mountains, Virginia, about 40 miles from Washington, D.C (later TonDC). 

2001 - Association football (FIFA) game is played as seen in flashbacks on the Ark. Clarke says it ended 147 yars ago.

2019 - Mir-3, predecessor of the Ark, is presumably launched.

2025 - Becca is born.

2040s - Earth loses contact with Asteroid Mining Penal Colony.

The Eligius Corporation is a mining company that transported prisoners to the Asteroid Mining Penal Colony. Jackson mentions to Abby that Becca first developed the Nightblood for the Eligius Mining Company to protect against solar radiation for long space missions, in which criminals were put into hypersleep and were given Nightblood to protect them from radiation. In 4x1 there’s an article on screen titled “Contact lost with Asteroid Mining Colony”.

The Second Dawn is a Doomsday Cult, that i founded by the cult leader, Bill Cadogan. He believes that the apocalypse is coming and wants humanity to survive. Cadogan builds a bunker that can save approximately 1,200 people. An article titled “Second Dawn Investigation Underway” from the Chicago Weekly Herald can be seen on one of Raven’s monitors as she explains 2048 nuclear reactor technology to Jasper and Monty. This is the first mention of the Second Dawn doomsday cult. 

2048 - Two dozen mega reactors had been built to withstand any disaster, even a nuclear attack.

2051

Becca creates A.L.I.E. on Oct. 20. She is 26.

That same year, she has to lock up A.L.I.E. because her answer for what was wrong with the world was “too many people”. 

2052

Fearing A.L.I.E., she decides to continue her research on her space station Polaris. She’s trying to perfect A.L.I.E. 2.0, when A.L.I.E. causes the nuclear apocalypse. 

The first Praimfaya takes place on May 10, 2052, when Chris accidentally letsA.L.I.E. out. A.L.I.E. successfully launches nuclear missiles from various countries around the world, including 27 missiles from China targeting the U.S. 

In the bunker in 2x16, Murphy finds a TV and pushes play. A home movie in the same bunker appears onscreen. Murphy watches as the man explains how he lost control and how “she” got the launch codes. He apologizes before shooting himself dead. 

According to Becca, about 6.5 billion people were killed in the aftermath. However, some survivors remained, these included the ancestors to the Grounders, the Mountain Men, and the Sky People. 

In the Pilot, Jasper wears a T-shirt with “Earth day 2052″ on it.

2054,  1 Oct. - Unity Day

In addition to A.L.I.E., Becca creates the Nightblood serum and a second version of the AI. In the meantime, commander McAdams is preparing to dock with the other twelve stations to create the Ark, but he fears the AI will infect all 12 stations if it remains on board. Becca pleads that the AI will save them on the Ark and can help human scientists giving them calculations to ensure their survival. Becca locks herself in the lab and inserts the AI chip into her neck. Later, Becca escapes Polaris just before it is destroyed and descends to Earth to become the first Commander. That is why, the place where she landed is called Polis (letters “ar” in Polaris were burnt during landing), Grounders’ leaders are called Commandors (it was written on Becca’s suit) and they have Nightblood (Becca probably injected the survivors she met after landing). In 2150, Murphy analyzes an old escape pod and Grounder cave paintings. From them, he theorizes, that the First Commander came from Polaris. 

2086 - Dante Wallace is born.

2093 - The doors of Mount Weather are opened, 54 people die of radiation, including Dante’s sister and mother.

Presumed beginning of the experimentation on Outsiders.

Thelonious Jaha is born.

2107 - Marcus Kane is born.

2149

The 100 receive Earth Skills from Pike on The Ark. The 100 are sent to Earth and land in what was formerly Virginia in the  United States of America.

The Ark:

- The 12 nations that formed the Ark:

1.       Australia 2.       Brazil –> Mecha Station 3.       Canada 4.       China (Shenhzen) –> Arrow Station, the airlock, where Jake Griffin was floated (arguable) 5.       France 6.       India 7.       Japan –> Skybox 8.       Russia (Mir-3) –> might be a part of Go-Sci 9.       United Kingdom 10.     United States –>  Government & Science Station (Go-Sci /The Ring), including Ark Station Medical, Earth Monitoring Station and Alpha Station 11.     Uganda 12.     Venezuela

There’s also a rememberance book on the Ark, that has The Grounders names in it. We can see familiar ones: Miller, Blake, Murphy, Jaha, Jordan. The names indicate nationality of the first residents of the Ark (I can even see a couple of polish ones!).

- Names of the stations (arguable):

1.       Alpha - Abby, Jake, Clarke, Millers, Jaha, Wells 2.       Farm/Agro - Jasper, Monty, Hannah, Bryan, Pike, Riley 3.       Hydra 4.       Mecha - Raven and Finn 5.       Factory - Aurora, Bellamy, Octavia, Monroe, Mel 6.       Arrow 7.       Power/Tesla 8.       Orchid 9.       Flint 10.     Aero 11.     Go Sci 12.     Prison Station is also known as the Sky Box and Lockup

*Russian and American flags are visible in 1x13 on the sides of the dropship.

On screen graphics in 1x13 there’s Alpha, Arrow, Factory, Hydra, Mecha, Tesla stations as major parts of the Ark.

I think I reconized them properly (Alpha is hidden):

Airlock where Jake Griffin was floated has Chinese writing on it.

There is a Brazilian flag painted on the side of Mecha Station as shown when Abby and Kane go outside.

Japanese flag painted on the Skybox in 1x1.
