The Nova Terra article is adapted from the pre-OA RPG Big Ideas, Grand Visions, which was written mostly by Anders Sandberg. The timescale in BIGV was very much compressed compared to OA, mostly because it includes very fast (handwavium) Higgs-field based spacecraft. Even though Anders and Alan Kazlev did a lot of work to adapt it to OA, some of the history still happens much too fast. I would be quite happy to stretch the events of the early history of Nova Terra over a period at least twice as long, taking it up to the end of the First Federation period at least.
On the other hand I'd prefer not to lose any of the major events, unless they directly contradict the general timeline.
