The Apollan Empire

The Apollan Empires history is largely based on war and expansion giving the impression that its a militaristic society, which it is. It has lived through thousands of years of war. They have by their records as a species outlived Humans and have had a good relationship with many native species and Humans often also mixing with them. Socialism is currently highly popular in the Empire being a thorn in the eye for the Phönix Reich which had aimed to unite the two nations.

## Unification with the Phönix Reich

While at first the personal Union seemed like a good Idea the people begun to realize that they did not want this. Many monarchists which were already pretty social democratic or more began to switch sides moving to the opposition parties that best matched their beliefs causing an end to absolute Monarchist rule.

## History

### **The beginning**

The Duchy of Apoll formed after the name of the region which was names after an ancient warrior claimed to be the ancestor of the duchies leader. The planet of Apollon was largely at war at the time with huge factions controlling oarts of the planet. After a couple decades the militaristic society of Apoll managed to make huge gains inn a war when it was still considered a small and minor state against a major power and slowly over years began dominating the planet with growing military and industrial capabilities. Finally throughout a last decade Apollon I who was the leader of the at this point renamed 'Kingdom of Apollon' finally finished the conquest of the planet and was crowned emperor soon making first vojages out into nowhere like columbus did towards America. Tho many years prior Apolland had already traveled to these places and established living places there making the conquest of the system easier. This one vore system has all its rock planets habitable (closest planet to sun mostly has people living in glass cities) and is to this day a show of strenght. The main soirce of energy had begun being the sun since a dysonswarm had bevun construction too.

### **Catastrophe**

Many people did not realize that the Environment could take harm. After a while oceans and some parts of the land were highly polluted andamy fish became endangered. With the navy they slowly managed to save fish and the ocean but it took many years to clean the mess up. Since then Apollans if they use plastics only use them if they can be used for years at least.

### **Generations of Expansion**

Throughout the years trade and expansion thrived. The Apollans had begun making contact with Humans slowly and a small migration to them happened. This also made pink skin more common as Apollans and Humans began mixing. Religion remained minor tho too. Generatuons of emperors kept on expanding…

### **Galactic War and Isolation**

After these golden times a huge war was fought against a pirate nation at the Apollan border. Even if it was won the Apollan People were unhappy and turned mostly anti war as this one war was far more worse than the previous ones. The pirates managed to get deep into Apollan terretories and managed to male considerable damage onto planets. This not only motivated increased military spending but also neutrality and later on isolationism struck. Travel was still allowed but it was pretty hard getting into Apollon. Tho during this time the economy grew a lot.

### **Opening up**

The last few kings had begun a process of de-isolation and found a completely different galaxy. With Apollo remaining a considerable power it has now seen even greater nations. But it appears peace is common. Recently a new anount of Human settlers arrived too.
