History
Public timeline for Arcology One. Established anchors first; later dates are working reconstructions residents still argue about. Campaign solutions stay in Story Mode.
Scope
Concordia (Section 0) opened in 2090. Play present is 2490. Arcology One grew into one connected structure with ten numbered sections (0–9). The Laser District is early-access Story space inside Section 0 — not the entire core.
Status labels: established = locked public anchor · working = inherited reconstruction pending adoption · disputed = public event with conflicting accounts. No hidden “true” tooltip on this page.

ASI (public mystery)
ASI is the official name of the original central intelligence. Its disappearance around 2180 is a major disputed historical event. Public materials may name the mystery and attributed folklore. They do not publish reconstruction recipes or campaign solutions. Short definition: Glossary · ASI.
Naming reminder
- Humans → Concordia
- Systems / HUD → Section 0
- Section names beyond Concordia remain working until Rich adopts them as released history
