The Pele timelines are a series of timelines having to do with advanced, worldwide spread of Pacific islander culture. In particular, the main three (Pele 1, 2 and 3) are actually echoes of each other. Furthermore, each timeline has remnants of an unknown alien civilization, tucked away in the most remote parts of the world...

Timeline P Description
Pele-1a Circa 1550 A strange parallel to another timeline. Scout reports refer to it as "feeling like an earlier draft of Pele-1".
Pele-1[1] Circa 1550 A world born in fire and ruled by water, Polynesian sailing technology dominates the sea. The Chinese boy-emperor Bing (along with his courtiers) integrates into Hawaii and establishes the start of a Pacific empire.
Pele-2[2] Circa 1750 Advanced compared to Homeline of the same year. The mysterious precursor sites are discovered, further fueling a worldwide exploration into the darkest corners of the globe.
Pele-3[3] Circa 2000 .Secrets of the ruins have extensively effected cultures, pushing tech level into TL9. Humans begin a rush to space, establishing bases on Lagrange points, Luna, Mars and Venus--and discover even more, even larger precursor sites...
Pele-4[3] Circa 200,000 BCE The volcanic Hawaiian islands are just beginning to cool down, and the outtime Patrol is anxiously watching the skies for the Pele precursors.

Trivia[]

The Pele timelines get their name from Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes, fire, and the creator god behind the Hawaiian islands themselves.
