Sonic Chronology:
The Future
32xx
* M25YL(1) Timeline: His empire
crumbling around him, Eggman seeks out Dimitri (who has not encountered Finitevus in this timeline) with a last-ditch plan
to save it-- and detaches Dimitri's head
when he won't cooperate.
--Sonic 135- "M25YL". Some
time before Robotnik is destroyed by Knuckles. Insufficient
data for a more specific date.
* Silver's Timeline: One of the Freedom Fighters betrays the team, leading to their destruction. Only Sonic is remembered to have the power to accomplish this.
-- Sonic 195, "Hedgehog Havoc" Part 1. Note that Sonic Universe #6: "Dark Siege" shows that Silver believes his timeline to be the same as M25YL(2), however the details don't quite seem to fit. (Future issues may straighten this issue out.)
* M25YL(2) Timeline: Sally marries Shadow to bring stability to Mobius. Shadow does bring peace to Mobius, even uniting the Guardians and Dark Legion under his banner. However, he is somewhat of a tyrant, and Sonic winds up living on the streets...
-- Sonic 166 & 167: M25YL Reprise. No dates given, but we know Sally never married Sonic in this timeline, so her marriage to Shadow was likely in or before 3243.
3243
M25YL(1) Timeline: Sonic and
Sally are married.
--Sonic 136- M25YL. 19 years before
M25YL.
3245
M25YL(1) Timeline: Sonic and
Sally assume the throne.
--Sonic 136- M25YL. 17 years before
M25YL.
3246
M25YL(1) Timeline: Day 61 -
Locke dies
--Sonic 143
324x
M25YL(1) Timeline: Robotnik
attempts to steal the Master Emerald, but is destroyed by Knuckles,
who turns green again. Later, feeling Knuckles to be a threat, Sonic
used a device to nullify Knuckles' powers-- at the cost of Knuckles'
right eye.
--Sonic 140- "M25YL". Must happen after
Locke's death, as Knuckles had his eye in that story.
3247
Lara-Su is born.
In "Mobius: 25 Years Later", Lara-Su is 16.
3250
Sonic and Sally have one or more children. In the M25YL(1) Timeline, they have one child at this time, a girl squirrel they name Sonia. In the IYF Timeline & Cyber-Sonic Zone, they may have had two, a girl squirrel and a boy hedgehog.
-- In “In Your Face” and Sonic 22,
Sonic and Sally's daughter looks just like Sally did at 5, so I'm placing her birth 5
years before my date for those. However, my date for those is
arbitrary, so this could slide earlier as well. I am also assuming Sonia was born in M25YL around the same time as her counterpart was in IYF.
3252
M25YL(1) Timeline: Sally
gives birth to a hedgehog boy, Manik.
-- Conjecture. In M25YL he seems to be a couple
of years younger than Sonia. The birth dates for both of them may be
a bit late, as Manik seems to be old enough to be interested in girls
by the time of M25YL. Or it could just be that
Mobians mature faster than humans tend to – certainly, Tails was
interested in girls at age 10-11...
3255
* IYF Timeline: Rotor builds Nicole
--Sonic 119- "Time
Code". Date uncertain (just before Sally sends Nicole back in
time).
* IYF Timeline: Queen Sally sends Nicole back
in Time.
--In Your Face- "Crusade".
Date uncertain (see note for "Robo-Robotnik's
Revenge").
* Cyber-Sonic Zone: Robotnik visits
Robo-Robotnik
--Sonic 22- "The Return"
Part 1. If the futures seen in IYF and Sonic 22 are the same timeline, Robotnik's visit is presumably after Sally sends Nicole
back.
* M25YL(2) Timeline: Summer. Shadow and Sally move the World Capitol is moved to Merchant city of Portal on Angel Island.
--Sonic Universe 5: "Five Years of Peace". Date is conjecture - the accompanying picture gives a date of 3265, but this would place it after the dethroning of Shadow. Rather than throw the date out entirely, I decided to drop the decade down by one.
3256
In one possible future, the palace comes under attack. Sonic holds off the attackers, while Sally gets the children to safety.
--Sonic 75, Super Special 11-"Ascension".
One possibility is that this vision was of Robo-Robotnik's conquest of Mobius. Date is based on the idea of these events being around
the same time as the abandoned "Knuckles: 20 Years
Later".
3262
* Reunification
In one timeline, Knuckles became leader of the Dark Legion, and has conquered the world. Hoping to bring about a happier future, Lara-Su travels back in time to change history - however, not only does she not have all the information she needs, but she apparently winds up in the wrong Zone. Lara-Su's efforts have no effect on the her timeline.
--Sonic
106-109- "Reunification". Around the same time as M25YL.
* Mobius:
25 Years Later
Summer, 3262. Over the ages, various acts and events have weakened Mobius Prime's time-stream and zonal stability, but none more than the destruction of the Xorda Gravity Bomb. Can Sonic and Knuckles overcome their differences in time to
return to the past and set things aright?
And even if they do, what will the new future be like...?

-- Sonic Universe 5: "Five Years of Peace"
3263

3267

Freedom
Fighters of the Galaxy
Part One: Sonic 103 /
Part Two: Sonic 104
In this timeline, the war with Robotnik left Mobius a polluted wasteland, so the Freedom Fighters spread out to colonize other planets. Now, their distant descendants must band together to face a new menace.
--1000 years after the "present day"
of Sonic 103-104, which I believe to be
3237.
