Suronia Prime (Suronia III)

## History

The third planet of the *Suronia Star System*, Suronia Prime is also the home planet of the *Suronian Empire*, a small but technologically advanced species that resides on the northern most continent of the planet. Suronian's are reptilian in physical appearance and are renowned in the Black Eye Galaxy for their extensive knowledge of genetic sciences.

For centuries prior to the formation of the United Commonwealth of Planets, the *Suronian Empire* has been locked in a bitter war with the nearby *Formican Confederacy*, which started with a dispute over the ownership of the planetoid *Solus* and has resulted in centuries of endless warfare and bitter resentment between the two species.

During this war, the *Suronian Empire* attempted to use illicit genetic engineering to gain an advantage over the *Formican* which resulted in a secret Government-led operation which genetically altered the foodstuffs of Suronia Prime to produce more durable and powerful soldiers while keeping them controllable with the dopamine-enhancing affects of the modified foodstuffs.

This resulted in the complete devastation of *Suronia Prime*'s ecology, destroying the natural plant-life on the planet as the genetically engineered specimens continued to spread outside of containment. As a result of this disaster, the *Suronian* Government blamed *"Formican Sabotage"* for this disaster and used the crisis to install a brutal dictatorship over its people, with many arrested on invented charges of *"Formican Sympathies"*.

Suronia Prime has been repeatedly attacked over the centuries by the Gol Anocracy who continually raid the planet for supplies, being so close to the borders of Gol space. However in recent years, the *Suronian Empire* has been able to successfully defend their worlds from the Gol by outwitting them continually and recovered Gol technology has greatly assisted the *Suronian Empire* in resisting their continual attacks.

The war with the *Formican* finally ended in 2419, when the U.S.S. Nightshade brokered peace between the two factions by the establishment of a treaty which gave both Empires access to *Solus'*s resources. However tensions continued between the two powers following that.

In 2420, Suronia Prime came under a massive invasion by the The Pryde of Ma'lkon who attempted to use *Eternium Injectors* to terraform the planet by planting them deep within the ocean. The *Suronian Empire*, unable to deal which such a threat, sent out a general distress call which was picked up by a Commonwealth Consortium Class and relayed back to the Omega Quadrant, prompting the Commonwealth into responding to protect the planet.

## Environmental

*Suronia Prime*'s originally ecology has been almost completely replaced by genetically modified flora and fauna which accidentally destroyed the planet's original plants. As a result, the planet's landmasses, although once green have become orange/red as seen from orbit.

The animal life of *Suronia Prime* have been considerably altered due to intentional genetic modification by the *Suronian Empire* itself and continually feeding on the mutated plant-life causing them to develop an amazing array of strange adaptations to there new environments.

Poets on *Suronia Prime* refer to the planet as the *"Land of Eternal Autumn",* due to the heavy modification and colouring of their new environment.

## Notes

* *Suronian Prime* and the *Suronian Empire* were created by Astor Phillips, on *9th April 2019.*
