Privateer / Righteous Fire timing
Foreword
Note that, as per our prior analysis, and the Centurion's cruising speed being the same as the Excalibur's, namely 500 kps, our analysis of the WC3 timeline agrees EXACTLY with our analysis of the Winterrowd's trip from the 7th Fleet to Perry, Gemini, as per Fleet Tactics. Thus, at cruising speed, a Centurion passes two system jumps per day.
I will assign 1 additional jump's worth of time for local, in-system missions; –i.e. 1/2 day.
Also, I chose the date 2669.125 as the earliest possible end to Privateer Part 1. This is because the TCS Winterrowd is destroyed in Gemini, by a “kilrathi superweapon” on 2669.122; which has to come before Greyson Burrows cracks the green egg. So, the latter event is now set at 2669.124.
I chose 2669.007 as the starting date, as the game happens in 2669; –this much we know; and the earlier we start, the better.
WC Privateer Timeline
2669.007 Greyson Burrows arrives to Troy, Gemini, claims his Tarsus
(69 days interim to trade and upgrade ship) Note that Grayson Burrows is interviewed in Helen a month and a half after his arrival. By his being there we could assume with some degree of probability that he's still busy trading and uprading his ship; and might not have yet got a jump drive. Therefore, we give him a little more time to meet Sandoval.

Righteous Fire Timeline
- 2669.131.5 “A Week Later…”
Start of Privateer Righteous Fire; gun stolen. (A week should be enough?)
NOTE: Needless to say, the “One Year Later” legend at the start of Righteous Fire is an error. Privateer happens in 2669, and a year later would put us at 2670, which would be peace time; but all indications are in Righteous Fire, that the war keeps heating up and getting worse. Kat superweapons, Terrel's missions, including one where you meet the Kilrathi 6th Fleet, Bar rumors of carrier losses… See the "Year Later" error.
Now, it could be argued that going from a year to a week is “too much”; but IMO it isn't: An error is an error, big or small. 1+1=3 is not “righter” than 1+1=300. Both statements are equally wrong; and “a year later” is dead wrong.
