Poach used to share their planet with the Elf’s until the Dwarves came out from the ground and needed space. They sent the Elf’s to Durant which can be found in the History. Poach is very Hardy and assertive but not aggressive. The Dwarves are rich and prosperous and have plenty of resources. They don't care much about pollution and the dwarves' hardy body doesn't much care either. The people are loyal and the king's council is knowledgeable and addresses global problems. They are accompanied by the Iron Priests who pray to the Iron God and his Forge creations to allow all of Poach's technology to work.

### History

#### **500,000BGY-1000BGY**

The Dwarves are an interesting race. They live much longer than any other race in the galaxy. The dwarves have well documented everything and with the long life are able to develop things further than any other race. In the beginning the dwarves lived in the mountains and elves roamed the surface of Poach. Due to the predators and impossible access to a lot of resources the Elf’s fell behind in stages of living societies while the dwarves surpassed the Elf’s greatly.

#### **1000BGY**

(PSC began to visit the Elf’s in the southern hemisphere of the planet)

The Dwarves began exploring space launching rockets from the top of the mountains getting to the point where they landed on the moon and communicated with a neighbor planet called Packa. Unfortunately, Packa went dark before they could visit it and all that was left was a heavily irradiated planet with no signs of life.

The Dwarves saw the lack of society from the Elf’s on the surface and needed the overland as the mountains go no longer provide the means of exploration and the population. Dwarves looked to the skies for a place to put there Elf friends where they can better thrive. They found a planet they called Durant and began development on a ship to get them there. They eventually built a large frigate with a 45-parsec warp drive. They sent a manned mission to plant trillions of trees using advanced farming technology and pumped oxygen and carbon into the air restoring the atmosphere. Water however flowed freely on this planet.

#### 500BGY

One day while dwarves were still expanding from the mountains the PSC came for a visit. The PSC was very concerned at the “Elfs” sudden advancement and weight gain. It was clear to the dwarves that the PSC has been visiting with their brief discussion and they did not notice. The Dwarves explained the situation, but this appeared to have upset the PSC who promptly left the area.

#### 400BGY

The Poach government was very concerned with PSC’s hostility. They began ramping up Frigate development as war ship in preparation for a more aggressive visit. They Built more warp drive ships and attached large cannons to them.

#### 395BGY

Sure, enough the PSC would return with 2 ships, GPG gave no warning for them to turn back and began to fire on the PSC as they were coming in fast. Both were promptly obliterated, and the pieces were now orbiting the planet. GPG began to prepare for more placing their ships to face W023 in a ½ parsec distance.

The PSC became upset at the attack without warning and deployed a small fleet. Recon would show how the GPG is laid out and circle around invading Poach. The GPG fleet would quickly retreat and this began a ground war against the PSC on Poach. Poach lost 9 of 10 frigates in the conflict & 150,000+ soldiers. Once the PSC feels like their message was sent, they pulled back and ceased fire after a 2-year conflict. This is known as the first galactic war of Poach.

#### **200BGY**

After replenishing what was lost Poach decided to start experimenting in terraforming. They experimented by helping Durant get more fertile land. They also helped Durant establish governments and upgrade their technology by deploying what the Poach call Iron Priests.

#### 50BGY

One day GPG detected Movement towards Durant They setup a welcome party near the calculated landing of the possible invading orbital. A PSC ship appeared and was quickly blown away by GPG cannons. Poach after sent many messages to the PSC enticing them to fight again but the PSC found it best not to respond. Poach began to supply Durant with older weapons and ships for an Ally and extra bodies

#### 100GY

Poach is aware of Tarah Planetary Government and Riket Republic and began talks with them
