The following timeline records the events taking place immediately after the Restoration of Spherus Magna, as well as possible events taking place after the conclusion of the BIONICLE Generation 1 storyline.

Current

• Toa Nuva Kopaka, weary from the Battle of Bara Magna, seeks solitude in the new forested area of Bara Magna. He notices a section of the Makuta robot disappearing, and an army of Skakdi, the Toa Mahri and the Golden Being emerging. The Toa of Ice trails them to the edge of Aqua Magna where the Golden Being conjures a castle-like fortress.
• Toa Nuva Lewa departs the cell in which the deranged Great Being is imprisoned and explores the jungle of Bota Magna. The Toa of Air observes giant cybernetically-enhanced reptiles and a group of Agori travelling along the forest floor. When he greets them, they discover his point of origin as the Great Being's fortress and threaten him with their weapons.
• The Great Being Angonce monitors his equipment and discerns that Mata Nui's mission to restore Spherus Magna was successful.
• Sahmad, Telluris and Metus witness the restoration of Spherus Magna, and afterward the Iron Tribe Agori interrogates Metus after realizing he has stopped dreaming. After retracing his steps back into the Black Spike Mountains, they find strange symbols in the ground, but the trio are dragged into the ground by tentacles.
• Tahu and Gali head north in search of a site to build "New Atero" on.
• Toa Hagah Gaaki is working with Toa of Water to help aquatic Rahi leave the Matoran Universe when she is met by Kopaka, who tells her of the Toa Mahri's predicament. Gaaki promises Kopaka that the Hagah will investigate and report to him.
• Lesovikk approaches Kopaka and Pohatu, expressing his anger at Karzahni being freed. After refusing Kopaka's offer of forming a search party the next morning, Lesovikk immediately departs.
• Toa Nuva Onua enlists Toa Zaria, Chiara and Orde to participate in a mission to find the Great Beings, as per Mata Nui's request. The Glatorian Gelu joins the team as their guide.
• Angonce hurries to the vault of Marendar, but discovers that the living weapon has escaped in response to the arrival of numerous Toa on Spherus Magna.
• As they are returning home from their search, Tahu and Gali and notice Lesovikk heading north. He is missing his sword.
• The day after their encounter with Lesovikk, Kopaka and Pohatu go searching for Lesovikk, and find Karzahni dead in Iron Canyon, impaled by Lesovikk's sword.
• Tahu and Gali return to the main Agori/Matoran camp. They, Kopaka, and Pohatu discuss Karzahni's death, and Tahu decides that Kopaka and Pohatu should track down Lesovikk.
• Sahmad wakes up in an illusion, where he is 750 years in the future in a city named New Atero. Sahmad discovers his former lover, but is shot by her, dispelling him from the illusion. He wakes in a room full of Iron Tribe Agori, who chant at him in unison.
• Sahmad demands his host show himself, and realizes that the Iron Agori are Sisters of the Skrall. The being who controls them begins to show herself, telling her history and how she feeds on dreams. The Sisters begin to move toward Sahmad. Telluris and Metus (his curse reversed) run in and lead Sahmad to the surface, only to find the being on Spherus Magna.
• The being, who reveals that her name is Annona, goes to feed on the inhabitants of Spherus Magna. Sahmad, Metus and Telluris latch onto her as she is teleporting, and find themselves in Aqua Magna, with Annona heading for a fortress on the beach. Annona, Sahmad, Telluris and Metus reach the fortress created by the Skakdi Fusion. There, Annona traps the Skakdi in illusions and is confronted by the Skakdi Fusion.
• Annona is impaled by rock spikes created by the Skakdi Fusion, and begins to die. In desperation, Annona feeds on the dreams of the mad Skakdi warriors, gaining the strength to escape. The fusion's power realizes the mad dreams, causing the fortress to dissolve and creatures to appear. Telluris tries to kill Annona, but is killed himself. Sahmad uses Metus to help him break off a rock spike before Metus flees, and impales Annona's joint. The fusion mentally instructs Sahmad to dream that there are no dreams, and it becomes true through the fusion's power. Annona brokers a deal with the fusion that she will be sent to a world to feast and be content. Sahmad dreams this happening, but dreams the paradise is inhabited by beings just like Annona, so that they will kill each other. Annona is sent to this land by the fusion's power. The fusion thanks Sahmad, and Sahmad re-dreams dreams back into existence. He and the fusion part ways.
• Kopaka and Pohatu go searching for Lesovikk. In a forest, a telepathic scream shows them the image of the Red Star, and they soon find Tren Krom dead.
• Gelu's team takes Sand Stalkers into Bota Magna, Chiara learns of Orde's past. The group is attacked by Vorox with powerful weapons, led by Kabrua, and entangled in a net. Kabrua decides to take the Toa to the Vorox's city.
• Kopaka and Pohatu encounter Gaardus, a failed experiment of the Nynrah Ghosts, who witnessed Tren Krom's death and knows of the Red Star. He is asked to take the Toa there. Gaardus takes the two inside the Red Star, where they meet three Kestora.
• Kabrua lets the Toa and Gelu free so they can run into the woods to be hunted by the Vorox. They try to ambush the Vorox, but Kabrua has anticipated this, and has used his knowledge to shut off the Toa's power. Zaria and Chiara are caught, but Orde and Gelu escape. Gelu and Orde run out of range of the shutoff, and Gelu asks Orde to scan Kabrua's mind to find how he knew that much about Toa. Orde learns that there is a Great Being in disguise as one of the Matoran Universe inhabitants that has been waiting since the Shattering and has a dark vision for the universe.
• Gaardus is implicated in a crime by the Kestora he committed on his previous journey there. The three Kestora try to fire on the trio, but Pohatu disarms them. Again they discuss what to do, until Kopaka becomes fed up and freezes them. Gaardus goes missing.
• Velika, the murderer of Karzahni and Tren Krom, begins his plans to murder the group inside the Great Being's Fortress in Bota Magna.
• Kopaka and Pohatu enter a lab in the Red Star, and lights begin to flick off. Using his Kanohi, Kopaka sees horrors in the rooms around them. Mavrah then rescues the two.

Future

Sahmad’s Tale Fallout

• Having been set free during the battle between the Golden Skinned Being, Annona, and Sahmad, the Toa Mahri would not be recaptured.
• The Golden Skinned Being would rebuild the Skakdi Fortress. The freakish creatures created in his fight with Annona would still be wandering the desert.

Adventures on Bota Magna

• Before the explosion can kill them, the group of Matoran Universe inhabitants would manage to escape the Great Beings’ fortress. Unbeknownst to them, the cursed Great Being would escape as well.
• Because the facility where the cursed Great Being was kept had been shielded from outside transmissions, Lewa and anyone in the cursed Great Being’s tower would be incapable of conversing with the inhabitants of Bota Magna. As such, they would have to slowly learn the language on their own, at least until someone from the Matoran Universe who had originally received the transmission could teach it to them. Moreover, because the tower had been insulated against seismic shock, they would have to learn that the moon fragment had been rejoined with Spherus Magna. As for Brutaka, his mutations would have been cured and he would be amphibious.
• Having been brought back to the Jungle Tribe camp, Lewa would discover that the Agori were luddites who blame Great Being technology for the disaster that befell Bara Magna. They would be awed by his air power, especially since he didn’t need a machine to produce it. They still wouldn't fully trust him, but they wouldn't kill him right away.
• On their quest to find the Great Beings, Orde, Chiara, Zaria, and Gelu would have made their way back to the facility where Toa were made. The Great Beings would eventually be found on Spherus Magna.

Mystery of the Great Being

• Despite his setback at the fortress, Velika would continue to kill “powers that be” such as Tren Krom and Karzahni. This he would do to eliminate wild cards and potential opposition, putting the new civilization at a more manageable power level. With fear and panic swelling in the wake of his murders, he would then position himself as the solution to those fears. Having done that, he would endeavor to take a firmer hand guiding society, taking the opposite approach to the Great Beings’ original approach to rule.
• Much like Kabrua, Atakus and Perditus would be revealed as Velika’s agents and spies, having obtained their weapons and technology from him and relaying status updates back to him about the planet during his time in the Matoran Universe.
• During their time on the Red Star, Kopaka and Pohatu would learn more about the Red Star’s role as a resurrection facility. In addition to Mavrah, Kopaka and Pohatu would find Ihu, Turaga Lhikan, Turaga Jovan, Nocturn, Botar, Guardian, the original Hydraxon, and various other salvaged beings. Many of the survivors would be recovering from the process of revival. Others would have regressed into zombies lacking souls, with none destined to survive long-term. If Velika had killed someone under the right circumstances, that victim could be present on the Red Star and name his and Tren Krom's killer. Kopaka and Pohatu would eventually make it off the star.

Society Emerges

• Tahu would cease wearing his Golden Armor.
• Matoran Universe survivors live in shelters built using pieces from the Mata Nui Robot and Prototype Robot, while the Spherus Magna natives have makeshift villages. Once New Atero is built, it would be a fully integrated city. In time the Matoran tribes would spread out, with each not necessarily limited to single locations. But for now many of the Matoran Universe immigrants would form themselves into enclaves. A global government is unlikely to form.
• Turaga Whenua meets the Hero Agori and befriends him.
• Salvage crews nearing Varian’s position would have eventually found and recovered her, and she would have to be safely restored. Moreover, Mimic would probably be reunited with his friend.
• The Pit prisoners would be rescued and transferred to a new prison facility guarded by Maxilos robots and Spherus Magna natives, and cobbled together salvaged robot parts. The prisoners may have to learn the Agori language. The new civilization will try to build a new Pit in collaboration with the Agori. Hydraxon’s role would probably be that of a bounty hunter.
• Although Nektann and anyone who surrendered after the Battle of Bara Magna were taken into custody, he and many Skakdi would have since escaped into the desert.
• Many factions such as the Sisters of the Skrall, Malum, Strakk, and the Order of Mata Nui wouldn’t immediately participate in the new society. Many, like the Barraki and the Dark Hunters, wouldn’t be welcome in the society, instead being actively hunted, though due to the large nature of the planet, it would be easy for them to remain hidden. The Glatorian of Bota Magna would join the new social order.

Factions Form

• At this stage, the Shadowed One has gone so far off the rails that he could not even be bought anymore. Having escaped the Matoran Universe, he would be on Spherus Magna forming a new army around former Dark Hunters and the scum of the new world, lying low until the moment came to strike. This new organization would not be the Dark Hunters, however, as the Shadowed One would have moved beyond his old organization, thinking bigger. Because the Shadowed One is off pursuing this, Voporak has no idea how to find him and has not yet been able to turn over the Vahi.
• With their mutations having been reversed by Mata Nui, the Barraki would have upgraded their weapons and stopped wearing helmets. Far from wanting Takadox back in their ranks, they would dissolve his legion and absorb it into theirs, although they may try to create a new League of Six Kingdoms. However, because Teridax fell before the Barraki could fully conquer Metru Nui, the Barraki would see Pridak as having failed to bring them to his promise of triumph and glory, and Pridak’s position as leader would be once more in question. The Barraki are currently leading their armies, composed of barbarians, criminals, and scum, onto Spherus Magna, and Takadox too would have escaped to the new world. If the Barraki forces aren’t disarmed or disbanded soon enough, they would go on to menace the new society. If Pridak were to die, Kalmah would step up to lead the alliance. If then he were to die, the Barraki would fall apart.
• Owing to their role in starting the Core War, the Earth Tribe anticipates the possibility of the other tribes allying against them to take revenge. To prepare for this, they have built up their military, and to prevent it they are trying to subvert members of other tribes and sow dissent among their ranks.
• Mazeka and the Melding Teridax would not have met back up with the Order of Mata Nui in part because much of the remaining Order would be hidden.
• If salvage teams happened to find any Shadow Takanuva left alive in the universe, they would attempt to rescue them. Allying with their rescuer would depend on the latter’s identity.
• The Baterra would remain active until they were shut off. If the Great Beings spent their time in exile solving the question of the Baterra, they might finally have developed a solution to do so.
• Metus is an outcast and currently just trying to survive. He is feeling like he is at something of a crossroads in his life right now due to the failure of his plans and the trauma of being a snake. He is doing a lot of thinking about what course he should pursue next and how to use the current situation to his advantage. He may run into Ahkmou who, for his part, would end up hanging out and ingratiate himself with Agori and Glatorian who don’t know his past.
• Miserix would do whatever was necessary to survive, which would likely result in him taking off and lying low, then determining what alliances would be worth making. The Rahkshi that had escaped the Matoran Universe would scatter and become wild, although Miserix would start forming a force of Rahkshi. Even if Miserix wanted to reform the Brotherhood, however, the antidermis pools in the Matoran Universe are inaccessible. Moreover, any new Makuta formed would be biomechanical and need heat and clean air to survive, the conditions for which aren’t present in the Matoran Universe at present. Rahi would be limited on Spherus Magna, and the machines to make them would not be accessible.
• The Bahrag would make their way onto the surface of Spherus Magna, although the Bohrok, because they don’t need heat, water, or food, would remain in hibernation, unable to escape the robot. With its orbit around Aqua Magna having been broken following the gravity blasts of Mata Nui and Makuta, and the subsequent reunification of the planet, Lehvak-Kal would have burned up in the atmosphere. Because the Bahrag would have nothing in common with the denizens of the new society, they would likely go off on their own. There they would remain aloof unless some new purpose could be found for them, the krana, and the Bohrok. If the Bahrag didn’t already make new Bohrok-Kal immediately following their awakening, they would still be capable of doing so, although currently the Kal substance is inaccessible to them. The Bohrok-Kal would immediately hibernate upon creation because the Bahrag are not in danger. Av-Matoran on Spherus Magna would not have to worry about Bohrok transformation.
• Those Matoran who are destined to become Toa will do so.
• Umbra will continue guarding the Ignika at a secure location. The Codrex itself remains intact.

Civil War

• In time, Velika would shed his Matoran form in favor of his old body.
• Velika would seek to win the support of the Toa Nuva to win credibility among Matoran and Toa, although he would kill them if this failed or if they had outlived their usefulness. The rest of the Toa he would seek to use as troops. Furthermore, as programmable beings, the Matoran and Toa could form the core of his new society, enforcing his will.
• Velika would also seek to win the support of the Element Lords whom he’d want to run the tribes as lieutenants in his name and wouldn’t target them. The Vorox of Bota Magna would be used as his shock troops. Having won over the denizens of the Matoran Universe and the aggrieved Spherus Magna natives, he would have the power to usurp the Great Beings.
• Krakua will eventually become the lone hero of a besieged island fortress. A vision of Krakua from this time will appear as a vision to Vakama, who receives it through a "Kratana" during his time as a Toa Metru. Krakua will inform him that he would one day send the Toa Inika on a mission, which he cannot do anything about save for waiting and hoping. Before Krakua can finish his message, the transmission is cut off due to Teridax removing Vakama’s "Kratana."
• If Velika succeeded, an authoritarian, highly ordered society would arise. Velika’s word would be law, and there would be consequences for not going along with it. Velika would see himself as a father figure and the Matoran/Agori as children who can’t be trusted to make their own decisions. Velika takes a firmer hand since he believes he knows best and everyone should do what he says.
• A civil war would break out. One side would have been Velika and his like-minded followers who felt GBs should rule Spherus Magna directly. The other would have been Angonce, GBs that wanted no interference with society at all, and everyone else. Takanuva would play a major role, achieving his destiny when he ends the war.
