Checking out yours so far. So far, so good.

There are some ages for the crew given on the Serenity Blu-Ray, just so you can confirm and update.

No reason why Joss can't give a shrug and a "sure why not" if someone figures out how his soft sci-fi could be hard science. So long as they don't break any of the aspects that Joss does want, like "No FTL" it seems harmless to me.

and to create a COMPLETE map of the verse they had to pad things out somehow.

Often they actually used fan-invented worlds and names, which I thought was a nice touch.

I would also have to reinforce that the work by QMx qualifies as canon.
They have worked with a number of people from the Firefly and BDM Serenity creative teams* to produce the work that they have.

In a world where Joss has made a number of canon timeline errors, I think it only helps for someone to have taken the available info and reconcile it in the best way possible.

...

If anyone is willing to attempt to reconcile the gross timeline errors between Firefly, BDM Serenity and Shepherd's Tale; use of the QMx work should only bring a little order to a badly muddled state of canonicity.

This is a scan of the River Tam Brain scan I bought from Geoff Mandel a few years back.
This is the scan Dr. Josef Mathias was holding in the scene where Simon is watching River in the chair.
I don't have a back-lit panel, so the image isn't perfect,
but there is some good info on this;
just like the Prop Store images of the info plates handled by the Operative.

After almost a year offline, the Firefly Timeline has returned to the Web at a new location, so please update your links and bookmarks accordingly:

This is essentially identical to the last update I'd made to the timeline at its previous URL (since my priority was figuring out where to host my content), but I'm now looking forward to a more significant update which will include all the information from official stories that have come out lately. :)

Sorry that I have been away for awhile. I did not see your thread until now.

There is no exact and accurate date in the Verse except one - a scheduled arrival date in Our Mrs. Reynolds.

Other dates are derived from various sources, of which many conflict with each other, some are patently false (for different reasons), and many have different amount of weight affixed to them. For instance, if you consider canon the date at the beginning of Pilot Serenity to apply to the original script and originally shot scenes, or to the re-scripted scenes, later shot and fit into the Pilot which was never aired until the Series was already canceled - because those dates are at least 7 weeks apart.

Anyhow, some timeline discussion and the resulting dates, to be used as your view fits, are in some threads here.
A list of them with links is in the Blue Sun Room forum, in a thread called Writer's Resource Package.
That post also includes a couple links to threads about The Map of the Verse, and some Travel and Navigational data, in case those are helpful.
I'm told these threads are used as reference by some writers of fanfic.
If you have further questions, post.
Of course, you may be far beyond that now.
