The Wraith War Timeline
This timeline documents the major events of the Wraith invasion and the rise of the resistance known as The Meowlitia. Dates are recorded relative to the beginning of the extinction event known as Day Zero.
Day 0 — The Arrival of the Wraith
Unidentified alien structures enter Earth’s atmosphere and position themselves above major human population centers including New York City, Tokyo, and London.
Orbital energy weapons fire upon the planet.
Human beings struck by the beams are disintegrated into radioactive particulate matter. Within twelve hours, most global governments, military commands, and infrastructure networks collapse. Human civilization effectively ends in a single day.
Day 3 — Global Silence
Surviving human communications networks cease functioning. Satellite systems fall offline and electrical grids fail across entire continents.
Alien patrol drones begin systematic sweeps of major cities to eliminate remaining biological life. The Wraith establish uncontested control of Earth’s surface.
Day 12 — The Ash Mutation Event
Radioactive particulate matter left behind by Wraith weapons spreads through cities and settlements across the planet.
Cats exposed to this irradiated dust begin experiencing rapid biological mutation.
Physical changes include:
increased body size and strength
upright mobility
improved dexterity
accelerated cognitive development
Many survivors also begin exhibiting fragments of human memory and behavior inherited from their former owners. A new species has emerged.
Day 90 — First Survivor Bands
Mutated survivors begin forming small territorial groups inside ruined cities. These early bands focus on survival—protecting food sources, shelter, and territory from alien patrol drones. Primitive communication and scouting networks begin forming between groups operating in cities like Seattle and Portland. However, the bands remain disorganized and vulnerable.
Day 212 — The Gathering Beneath the Ruins
Word spreads among survivor territories of a strategist known as Little Cat. Representatives from multiple survivor bands travel to a secret meeting point beneath Old Town in Portland.
The meeting takes place inside the historic underground network known as the Shanghai Tunnels.
This gathering becomes the first large assembly of the evolved survivors.
Day 213 — The Ashfall Oath
Inside the tunnels beneath Portland, Little Cat delivers a speech calling for unity and organized resistance. The assembled survivors swear a binding pledge that becomes known as The Ashfall Oath. The resistance force known as The Meowlitia is officially formed.
The tunnels are later recorded in Meowlitia history as FOB Ashfall, the birthplace of the resistance.
Year 1 — The First Resistance Operations
The newly formed Meowlitia begins conducting small-scale operations against Wraith patrol drones. Urban terrain proves advantageous to the agile fighters of the resistance. Early victories against isolated drones demonstrate that Wraith technology can be destroyed through coordinated ambush tactics.
Morale among survivor territories increases.
Year 2 — Expansion of the Resistance Network
Meowlitia command establishes hidden safe zones throughout the Pacific Northwest. One of the most important early territories emerges in the district of St. John’s located in North Portland. Due to its industrial ruins and access to the Willamette River corridor, the area becomes a strategic supply and training hub for the growing resistance.
The sector is later designated Northern Command.
Year 3 — Formation of the War Council
As the resistance expands, Little Cat establishes a centralized leadership structure known as the War Council. The council coordinates intelligence, logistics, and combat operations across multiple territories.
Specialized divisions of the Meowlitia begin forming, including:
Urban Warfare Command
Recon & Intelligence Division
Field Sustainment Corps
Shock & Breach Division
Anomaly Response Unit
For the first time since the invasion, the Wraith encounter an organized planetary resistance.
Year 5 — The Hidden War
The Meowlitia now operates across multiple ruined metropolitan regions of the Pacific Northwest. Wraith patrol activity increases as the alien occupation begins responding to growing resistance attacks. Urban guerrilla warfare becomes the primary strategy of the Meowlitia.
Strike teams sabotage drones, gather intelligence, and protect surviving settlements. The conflict has officially become a prolonged war.
Present Day — The War for Earth Continues
The Wraith remain the dominant military force on the planet. However, the resistance created beneath the ruins of Portland continues to grow. Across hidden tunnels, abandoned factories, and shattered city streets, new recruits train and prepare for future battles.
The war that began on Day Zero is far from over.
And somewhere in the ruins of the old world, the soldiers of The Meowlitia are still fighting to reclaim their planet.
