Have the show runners explicitly stated when all of the above events happen?

My initial thought is the above events happened in the following order in just a few years (no more than 10 years): Argall’s Death, the Purge, Nolan becoming an adult, the Scourge Virus, Nolan visiting the Ragnars, and Conquest visiting the Ragnars. The reason I think so is because those kids (in green) age up 1 to 2 years between the Purge and Nolan becoming an adult. Also Nolan was part of the first Ragnar Expedition, and Conquest visited shortly after recovering from the Scourge so these events couldn’t have happened too long after the Scourge Virus (it could be interpreted as Mark’s imagination picturing Middle Aged Nolan on the Ragnar Planet). However, it doesn’t make sense that Nolan would need to prove his worth against his parents if he proved his worth during the Purge.

The next thought is that the people circled in red during the Purge are actually Nolan’s parents. However his mom’s eyes and skin color is slightly off (also it’s unclear if the Young Nolan looking character eye color is black (dad’s color) or blue (Nolan’s color)). Also that would mean those kids circled in green age slow af or could be those kids parents, but it seems too coincidental.

Then again, the Occam's Razor Explanation could simply be that they wanted to save on animation so re-used character models.

By Fraud, I mean Conquest is the biggest example of “talks shit but can’t back it up”.

First, he loses both of his major fights. Yes the fights were winnable, especially the fight on Earth, however he still found ways to lose them. Not only that, but he lost to someone who only had their powers for ~2 years. The only fight he won is the Purge, but so did all other Viltrumites we see (minus a few that were born afterwards).

Next, he claims that all Viltrumites fear him, yet he’s Kregg’s lapdog (look who’s the first person to scold Conquest in the scene he’s begging for Thragg’s forgiveness). Kradd doesn’t fear him by showing concern for him getting separated. Lucan and Anissa have a negative perception of Conquest, but it seems more like, “this dude is crazy” as opposed to “I’m scared of this guy”.

Yet this is the guy who gets the soundtrack titled “Second Strongest Viltrumite”.

Last thing I want to be clear about is, even if you agree with me that he is a fraud, Conquest is a character who makes the story better and it would be cool if they made a “Conquest Special”.

Edit: I also forgot to mention Conquest’s loss against the Rognars. Losing to them isn’t the issue, it’s that he did worse against them than Young Nolan. Although Conquest was weakened by the Scourge Virus, Nolan was also weakened. (Nolan was part of the first Rognar Planet Expedition and Conquest visited the Rognar Planet not too long after getting the Scourge Virus, so to make the timing of these events work Nolan must have visited the Rognars shortly after recovering from the Scourge Virus).
