Question of lore... when did each of the elite games take place?

[SmartM0nk3y]

when did each of the elite games take place in terms of the in game year? i know that dangerous started on 3301.
also is there a good place to read up on the events of elite dangerous? im mostly interested in the lore that players have influenced, and dont want to have to read through all the old gal net news

The date that elite games take place is on the game's respective Wikipedia pages

Your mileage will vary on what lore you find in this thread and how important you see it. Keep in mind player 'involvement' in canon lore right now has mostly been through CG's and not in real intimate ways
