4000 y.a. Centra civilization founded

Present Events of FFVIII

3015 DSRC found a strong energy field
4127 Travel possible by underwater tower
4141 DSRC named Deep Sea Deposit
4242 DSRC sealed off Deep Sea Deposit

I did this because I'm interested in writing a fanfic that involves the DSRC. The problem is there are no clues as to when the events in the DSRC occured within the timeline. Any ideas when the Deep Sea Deposit would have been discovered? (I'd like to involve Laguna in the plot if possible)

Did I miss any dates? I know I haven't included the events in FFVIII proper.

you could of included the fact that Norg funded the garden? maybe

Yeah, Cid spent some time running around trying to fundraise in order to open Garden, then later he met NORG whose business acumen helped to get things going.

Edit: When Edea was five years old, she became a Sorceress for the first time. An important event, but hard to put into a timeline since we don't know her exact age.

Hadn't thought of this earlier, but...

Centra -> Cetra
Lunar Cry -> Calamity from the skies

A common theme?
