New Light History

ACCURACY WARNING
This article contains significant factual inaccuracies, i.e. information that is verifiably wrong.

New Light History (Japanese: 新光歴), also known as After Photon or AP, is a timeline used in the Phantasy Star Online 2 series. It is the current calendar that the people of Oracle use when they define their recent history.

Events prior to the creation of the military organization, ARKS, are chronicled in the Light History timeline.

Online 2 Chronology[]

As was revealed in The Animation, Earth's AD timeline occurs simultaneously with Oracle's After Photon timeline. The two universes are parallel with each other, the two eventually making contact when Earth's ESC-A network "created" the video game, Phantasy Star Online 2. This allowed earthlings to project an avatar onto Oracle's fleet.

The Light History and New Light History timelines follow the information presented in Phantasy Star Online 2 game text and the 25th Anniversary Phantasy Star Visual Chronicles art book.
