The Official Darius Timeline is Taito's official timeline of the Darius Universe. It goes by various titles including History of Darius, Darius History, Darius Chronology(ダライアス年表) and simply History.

The timeline has been revised multiple times and effectively exist in 3 versions:

• The Dariusburst version: This is the version that was on the Official Darius Burst Website, on famitsu.com and in Darius Odyssey. They vary slightly in phrasing in some places, but the contents and meaning are ultimately the same. In the 2013 and 2015 editions of Darius Odyssey an entry for Dariusburst: Another Chronicle (Darius Year 1910) have been added.
• The Another Chronicle version: This is the version found on the Official Darius Burst Another Chronicle Website. While it adds and expands some sections it also removes and shortens others.
• The Chronicle Saviours version: An abridged version of the Another Chronicle version. Found on the Official Dariusburst: Chronicle Saviours website. It simply removed all the headings, all mentions of the game titles and everything prior to the Amnelian year 626.

The mentioning of games next to specific years is handled inconsistently. The Another Chronicle version and the taito.co.jp variant of the Dariusbust version have the title of the games at the end of the entrees (in this format: "※ [title]"), except for G-Darius and Darius. This could either be an oversight or because they are the only games attached to their respective ages. The variant in Darius Odyssey use the episode numbering instead of the title (in this format: "‣ EPISODE #"), G-Darius and Darius included. G-Darius is Episode 1, Darius is Episode 2, Darius Gaiden is Episode 3, etc. Dariusbust: Chronicle Saviours is considered Episode 7, but is not listed in the timeline. The famitsu.com variant and Chronicle Saviours version doesn't list games like this at all.

The version seen below is translated by Painocus and is a synthesis of the first and second version. Specifically the ones from taito.co.jp and darius.jp. All differences are explained in the notes below.

The translator would like to note that this is not a professional translation and does not guarantee the lack of translational errors. He would also like to thank Kirn for help with some of the Chinese characters.
