Dark Energy & Expansionary Phase

[s4syth]

Do dark energy models explain anything about the expansionary phase after the Big Bang? Maybe matter wasn't formed well enough and gravity wasn't working too well, so dark energy was by a large margin, the dominant force?
Also, can anyone give me a link to a timetable of the universe's expansion phases? Thanks...
