I honestly think the events in the past of Project Freelancer Saga occur 2 years to 1 year before the events of the Blood Gulch Chronicles. The Blood Gulch Crew also met each other around a few months before Episode 1. The rest of the time span you pointed out Rhode is preety accurate and, while it does have some minor contradictions or confusing details, it's safe to assume the events occur in a 3 to 5 year time frame as nightfire pointed out. Along with this we know the Great War ended between Season 5 and Reconstruction (which was in the year 2553 when hostilities ended). So it can be said in a whole the events took place in less of a decade time frame and occured between late 2549 at earliest to mid 2557 at latest.

It also makes me assume that characters like Simmons, Grif, Donut, Tucker, Caboose, and Doc are in their mid to late 20's, the Freelancers are in their early to mid 30's, and older characters like Sarge, the Director, and the Chairman are in their mid 50's. As for the A.I., I assume they are only 3 to 5 years old during the events (I know it seems young, but according to the Halo franchise, a A.I. lifespan is often 7 years).
