A brief timeline of important moments in the history of this faith.

22 NS (approximately) : Famed science fiction author L. Robert Hubble publishes The New Stoics, an interview with The Prophet Jennifer Sto, discussing her visions of the divine nature of the universe after accidentally inhaling Comorian Crystals during a lab accident. The book becomes the basis of several self-help groups that eventually form into a religion, under the organizational leadership of Henry Lang, and proves especially popular among troubled celebrities. Critics argue that there is no record of such a conversation between the fiction writer and the quarantined scientist.

27 NS: Lang acquires an abandoned government project site and turns it into a long term mental health clinic for the affluent. After dismal box office returns, actor Todd Kruz becomes a notable member of the community living at the newly renamed Better Horizons facility. Federal grants for the small solar power facility at Better Horizons take advantage of the existing infrastructure to impressive affect, proving more economically viable than the original purpose of the site.

32-34 NS (estimated 3219 AD) : Construction on Twin Shards begins, a research lab dedicated to unearthing the mysteries of crystal technology. The site is to be garrisoned by a cutting edge military force in case of disaster. The New Stoics fund the  ill-fated Operation Unexpected Cobra, an attempt to reclaim the colony ship RCV Mbal Msafiri. The seven faithful "voidwalkers" die due to an equipment fault a few hours after launch. Red Moon Studios opens, and employees later discover that they are all Stoic converts, by coincidence or divine intervention. Lang secretly establishes Lang Textiles at the heart of Better Horizons, intending to provide "work therapy" opportunities for the patients there and free labor for himself. This will have disastrous consequences for the entrepreneur in later years.

37-38 NS (estimated 3224 AD) : Doctors and engineers on staff at Twin Shards release blueprints for New Stoic Temple/Health Clinics, a state of the art medical facility, mental health facility, and spiritual retreat. As support services for the complex expand, the nearby town of Boca Ridge establishes a Cobra University, a religious school commemorating the lost Void Walkers, while Henry Lang continues to abuse donations and free labor, as well as the profits from the solar array. Stoic Clinics are built on the Nezem Coast by the Nezem and the Stellar Imperium, and in the Gama de Acero by the Hishu Gardeners, granting the religion a legitimacy that Lang's financial efforts never had. Faculty of the Zabbat College of Design (within Cobra Universiry), artists from across the Federation, and Red Moon collaborate to maintain, refine, and update the Stoic Clinic-Temples.

40 NS (estimated 3227 AD) : New Stoic volunteers throw their full weight behind The Huitzilopochtli Programme in the show of compassion and civic-mindedness that Lang had been trying to harness all these years for his own profit. This proves a tipping point that wrenches the faith out of the hands of the self-serving businessman and turns the group into something new. The religion enters a period of organizational turbulence, as Lang retires (some critics argue it was forcibly so, others claim this was due to a Seihai assassination attempt). A religious retreat turns fortuitous as many attendees realize they all work in industries related to the holy crystals, and a new organization, the Crystal Regulatory Authority and Intervention Committee (CRAIC) forms during this period in response to discussions on the ethical and spiritual concerns raised by that industry. Research into the true nature of Comorian Crystals and what must have actually happened to The Prophet Sto, far from destroying the religion, redirects and harnesses the faith in unexpected ways. Professors at Cobra University begin asking new questions about the nature and purpose of worship, in response to the startling discovery that the divinity talked about in their holy book exists within each of us, rather than as some external or alien being. Red Moon studios begins to make a point of examining ethics and spirituality in their TV shows, while also focusing on pre-Exodus historical programming.

41-44 NS (estimated 3228-9 AD) : Stoics demonstrate their dedication to education with a LaPlante Hackschool, and research meditation and neuroscience. Stoic temple/clinics are incorporated into the Federal Service program, publicly declaring to treat all patients in accordance with the patient's religious beliefs. The "long prophesied" second Twin Shards lab is built at an unknown location, while the original facility begins converting civilians and soldiers into ryllians. Construction of Stoic Temple and Hackschool at Barafu Utoto Station. The CRAIC symposium. Graduates from Cobra, including Rp Mbala, form Zenos Space Industries. Academics at Cobra University present a well-received symposium on early pre-Federation history, based on material from the RCV Mbal Msafiri's historic scans of the planetary surface in the first fifty years post-landfall. It shows the emerging conflict between the Nezem and the Buna as they fought over access to mining sites in the Anderbacks, together with how that led to the formation of the Chikalda. Converts their civic infrastructure to renewable energy and reused grey water systems developed by the ATC. The Kailish Monastery.

45-46 NS (estimated 3233-4 AD) : Stoics formally register their territorial claims with the Nezem States as the Holy Syllogism of Aurelia, with Port Chrysalis as its capital. Mental Healthcare research alliance with Federation recovers Exodus-era mental health techniques. Zenos Space Industries helps with 1st voidcraft built by the Federation: a Haikala Patrol Boat and the Zenos-designed Short Bow mini drone carrier based on the Patrol Boat. Buna bequest to Okomo College of Cobra University for the study of the Spike Drive and Solar Sails. Red Moon launches the Global Satellite Entertainment Network, with broadcasts to Seihai territory. Moth Industries, a not-for-profit corporation, develops the Recycled Modular Housing prototype factory in Port Chrysalis, providing free housing to White Cross refugee sites.

47 NS (estimated 3235 AD) : Xur military modernization and the establishment of The Temple of Prismatic Truth, an intelligence service, and the Aghori Brotherhood, a monastic order of combat engineers. A research alliance with the Jacinto Combine, under the name Cassini-Freeman Alliance collaborates on ethical genetic research. Mallory Federal Research Alliance explores the use of Comoryll in the treatment of PTSD. Twin Shards explores the potential of the Usiku Sinkhole. Red Moon releases the enormously popular summer blockbuster Garrick, although some conspiracy theorists claim it is full of subliminal messages, citing the surge in volunteers for work in Ethical and Civic branches. A critical failure in a Federal military mutation program goes horribly awry, leaving one dead and several psychologically traumatized.

48 NS (estimated 3236 AD) : Mallory FRA establishes the Khojak Youth Recreation Centers. Further Xur expansion, both planetary and stellar, leads to a rebirth of Pataliputran military traditions, including various martial arts traditions, especially Jambuvanti.  A post-mortem on the accident at Twin Shards reveals the true origin of Comorian Crystals and provides startling insight into the Landing years, much to the consternation of the faith. Animal experimentation with Comoryll begins. The religious faction establishes a holy nation as part of the Nezem States, the Syllogism of Aurelia, primarily to field test new standards in health, education and co-operative business models. The first hints of the art'eglash movement appear in the graphical style of public service announcements of the Syllogism.

49 NS (estimated 3237 AD) : Mallory FRA focuses on Juvenile Criminal Rehab. The Xur build Yamada's Kalari, integrating several Seihai military construction techniques, Pataliputran spirit worship, and several Ryllian remembrances. The Cassini-Freeman Alliance builds a network of DisCuSSion facilities including the Sisterhood of Nymh Monastery, presided over by the machiavellian Rp Haines. The Temple of Prismatic Truth formalizes its relationship with Federal intelligence assets and establishes Refraction Posts all over the planet to oversee Comorian Crystal harvesting standards and security.
