Newspapers!
Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):Basically this suggestion is just to add in newspapers with general events and lore knowledge of that time period to flesh out some of the current universe and how everything is going within W-Y etc. ( I mean sure you could link me to the timeline but I feel like it would be better if the newspaper catered to general W-Y events and what they have been developing as well as general planetary goings on.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Rp and just some general knowledge of what's currently going on in that time span.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): A newspaper item which could be read (basically a book re-sprited to fit in or not) inside the newspaper would be general information about the current time period e.g. General planetary goings on, perhaps some scientific new inventions, and potentially other information as well.
On a side note potentially there could be some propaganda in the newspapers as well.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Spriting and ALOT of lore work.
I'm already fairly sure this will get shot down in flames, however I might as well try.

Also the newspapers could help with adding maybe something like" USCM defeats another group of pirates",let's face it when we wanna talk about past missions we have to make it up and hope other marines go along

Re: Newspapers!
Would newspapers even still exist in 2150? They're struggling in 2016.

Re: Newspapers!
+1/-1. Would you like to know more is really cool, but taking away people from the war effort to make newspapers sounds bad.
Gaze upon me,
for I have wandered deep into the ancient tombs of knowledge to which lie madness and sorrow, cleansing a path for all those who walk behind me...
...
But seriously, does uh, anyone know the way out?!
~Furthermore, I consider that Floodlights should no longer be destroyed.~

Re: Newspapers!
This is pretty feasible now considering we've had the lore dump on the wiki.
