( Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time Galactic Trivia loading screens) Orvus locks himself within the Great Clock to prevent anyone from misusing it for selfish gain.( Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time) The Clock's purpose is to thus act as a pacemaker for the universe, maintaining temporal stability across it via fixing paradoxes and other abnormalities. To counteract the damage done to the space-time continuum by the Fongoids, the Zoni and their leader Orvus create the Great Clock, a giant mechanical construct situated at the edge of the Polaris Galaxy as well as the exact center of the universe (give or take fifty feet).As another side effect of the Erebus Supernova, rifts to an alternate dimension known as the "Netherverse" begin to appear within the Zarkov sector at the edge of the Polaris Galaxy.( Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time, along with the same game's Galactic Trivia loading screens) The survivors of this event begin a pilgrimage to the planet Vapedia, and once arriving at the planet three decades later, all male Valkyries are exiled for failing to ask for directions. Among the locales annihilated by this Erebus Supernova is the original colony of the robotic Valkyrie species.( Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time, along with the same game's space radio news and Galactic Trivia loading screens) Given how this event is heavily implied to be the "Erebus Supernova" mentioned by certain characters, the largest supernova in recorded Polaris history and one which resulted in a "time-space catastrophe", it and the aforementioned cataclysm will be treated as one and the same in this subpage. After three thousand years' worth of the Fongoids' time travel, the countless time paradoxes created lead to the space-time continuum being worn thin and tearing, resulting in a spontaneous explosion that destroys eighty-three planets and moons, with the rest of the cosmos being put at great risk of a similar fate.Adult Fongoid males eventually gain a strange verbal tic as a result of this excessive time travel.The Fongoid race, a mammal-like species from the technologically advanced Polaris planet of Torren IV, are gifted the power to time travel by the Zoni, energy beings from another dimension who travel through time and space naturally.( Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time space radio commercial) In the Polaris Galaxy, the IRIS Supercomputer, a powerful machine with an IQ of three billion, is built on the planet-like Kreeli Comet for an unknown purpose, with the squid-like Terachnoid race evidently assisting in its design.Eventually, the Technomites would fade into obscurity, eventually being considered only a children's fairy tale by the majority of the populace. Technomites, tiny super-advanced aliens from the Solana planet of Challax, invented the technology that would come to be used by the Solana Galaxy in the coming eons.However, this may change as of Rift Apart due to the much longer Sequel Gap between it and Into the Nexus. Nefarious began experimenting on him in Quest for Booty, parallel to the games' release dates. It can be assumed via in-game dialogue that all the games occur in relative real time, with Clank's awakening in A Crack in Time happening "over a year" since Dr.While this infers that time in the Ratchet & Clank universe uses the same units of measurement that we do, the games here will not be dated by specific years.

However, due to this dating style not appearing in any of the following games (along with how the in-universe written language tends to portrayed as alien symbols in later games), combined with how a 2010 wall calendar based on the series dates everything in the same months and days as Earth's calendar, it may be possible that this dating style has been quietly dropped. The original Ratchet & Clank game released in 2002 stated that, via fictional magazine covers that be found in its gallery section, the first game occurs in the year of 5354, with the year itself being composed of fictional months ("Octogus", "Marchember", "Mayjune") with a single one of them having upwards to 95 days.For clarity regarding past media, all spoilers will be unmarked. This is a (work-in-progress) timeline of events that have occurred in the Ratchet & Clank universe.
