* <span style="color:#000099">'''E7-22'''</span>: Birth of Keith Daxon.
* <span style="color:#009900">'''E7-24:'''</span> [[Nanton]] is founded.
* <span style="color:#009900">'''E7-5425, Duplima 22:'''</span> The ruins of the medieval town of [[Sirvarris]] are discovered by a group of settlers. The town is re-settled, and a third Silverlight Library is discovered.
* <span style="color:#009900">'''E7-40:'''</span> [[Elusec]] is founded.
* '''E7-41:''' Keith Daxon moves to Elusec, adopts the street name of "Spectrum" and founds the Wraiths, a local street gang.
** '''E7-41, Pentema 25:''' First Sirvarris mayor Darius Palkovich declared Sirvarris a neutral town that would adopt Standard Law. He then announced that access to the Silverlight Library would be free for members of the Scientific Community, in the name of preserving and studying history.
* <span style="color:#009900">'''E7-46:'''</span> [[Baden Town]] is founded.
* <span style="color:#009900">'''E7-49:'''</span> [[Flaxton]] is founded.
* <span style="color:#009900">'''E7-53:'''</span> [[Greening]] is founded.
* '''E7-54, Triema 18: The Sirvarris Discovery:''' A secret room behind the Sirvarris Silverlight Library is discovered. A tiny chamber is found, containing a handwritten medieval document, a [[greatsword]], and a large, intricate crown made of silver, platinum, and white gold.
** The crown was confirmed to be King Maratuxa's legendary Silver Crown, however, the large diamond intended to be mounted on it is missing.
** The document was written by King Maratuxa himself. It explains that the crown was designed to be used as a key, intended to open another secret cache hidden somewhere else in the Mazes. This cache contains the Silverlight Kingdom's treasure, intended to be used by the "rightful heirs to the Silverlight Kingdom's legacy" and encouraging whoever finds the treasure to use the money for re-establishing the Kingdom. The King warns that the crown alone is not sufficient; without its specially shaped diamond, the crown cannot be turned all the way and the cache cannot be opened.
* '''E7-223:''' [[Yurai]] opens the ''kamiyama'' ('''紙山''', lit. ''paper mountain''), a large office complex equipped with the latest technology and equipment, meant to process paperwork and information for all activities in all youkai towns.
* '''E7-289: The New Science movement:''' The [[Scientific Community]] begins new research avenues, with the explicit intent of selling the fruit of their research and development.
* '''E7-289, Ultima: Project Titan:''' The Genetic Technology Science Team in [[Arnett]] launches ''Project Titan'', researching genetic manipulation and gene editing. They are believed to have created various giant versions of common, small animals, such as the [[giant spidertarantula]]. These animals were originally developed for the [[Maze Military]], but the project was turned down by military leadership.
* '''E7-290, Hexema: Project Mana, phase 1:''' The Theoretical Physics Science Team, then located in [[Roazon]], launches ''Project Mana'', for the purpose of researching the exact nature of magic and magical creatures.
** Scientists behind Project Mana began by offering rewards, in cash or gifts, to various people (mostly [[youkai]]) in exchange for answers to questionnaires and various, non-invasive tests and examinations.
* '''E7-398: Project Lambda:''' The Theoretical Physics Science Team in Roazon starts Project Lambda, an initiative to improve personal protection and body armor technology with the introduction of the world's first suit of powered armor. The initial phases of the project required the team to study new physical phenomenons which could, in theory, allow specific metal alloys to become harder and more resilient to damage when an electric charge is applied to them.
** Funding issues and poor management resulted in the project being relegated to a secondary priority. By E7-400, only three people were still officially on the Lambda team.
* <span style="color:#000099">'''E7-404, Pentema 10'''</span>: Birth of Daiki Haraguchi (male [[kappa]]), prominent member of the [[Youkai Nation]] and Task Force "Mind's Eye".

* <span style="color:#000099">'''E7-414, Quartema 4'''</span>: Birth of Satoshi Sangi (male [[satori]]), current leader of the [[Youkai Nation]] and Task Force "Mind's Eye". His birthdate, 414/4/4, contains the number 4 four times; it is considered to be [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FourIsDeath extremely unlucky]. He was symbolically given 4 days to live.
* '''E7-414, Nonama 11: The Super-Heist:''' The [[Guild of Silver Larceners]] perform their greatest heist in history, the so-called Super-Heist, with a direct hit on the [[Yatela Crime Syndicate|Syndicate]]'s capital city, [[Greening]]. An estimated 50 Larceners, heavily armed and armored, and equipped with large bags, invaded the town and performed synchronized acts of robbery across every single shop, facility, and outlet with any kind of cash register.
** Halfway into the synchronized multi-robbery, Yatela gangsters finally sent personnel to open fire on the Larceners, prompting them to bail out with the wares they had already acquired. Gun battles erupted throughout the town as the Larceners made their escape, deploying dozens of smoke grenades. Undercover detectives estimated that over a thousand rounds of ammunition had been fired that day, with the town still bearing some of the scars, with still-visible bullet holes high on the walls and on the ceilings.
** Syndicate Don Benito Yatela III called the siege off after one year, warning the Larceners to stay away from their towns or their personnel or face unspecified "greater misery".
** Larcener activity outside of Gimrun virtually stopped over the years that followed, focusing on rebuilding their control of Gimrun and appeasing the town's population.

* '''E7-415 ; E7-417: Police Protection Plan:''' The [[Maze Police]] expands their reach and founds three new towns, in an effort to better cover all towns in the world. The measure was presumably done as a reaction to the Super-Heist, intending to prevent such events from occurring in towns protected by Standard Law.
** <span style="color:#009900">'''E7-415, Quartema 16:'''</span> [[Beadsor]] is founded.
** Many assets, including most of Project Lambda's research, are believed to still be locked away somewhere in Roazon's abandoned lab.
* '''E7-420 ; E7-429:''' The Scientific Community announces the construction of a new Theoretical Physics laboratory in [[Ferland Sector]]. The Theoretical Physics Science Team is re-activated and renamed '''Mathematics and Theoretical Physics Science Team''', with completely new personnel. The lab is completed nine years later.

* '''E7-450:''' Satoshi Sangi is elected mayor of [[Yurai]] with 77% of the votes, on a campaign promising the unification and strengthening of the youkai people and communities. He gains the nickname of ''"Black-Eye"'', after the color of his third eye.
** The size of the Military is dramatically increased, from 7 companies to 12, and is given its current organization of 6 RF companies, 4 PF companies, and the remaining two companies forming Wight's Elite Battalion.
** "Harassment patrols" of the Weil era are re-established, and although soldiers are explicitly told to avoid entering the Northeastern Zone, they are once again tasked with searching for activist groups, caravans, couriers, and other people affiliated or protected by activist fighters, and to engage in combat with them on sight.
