## History

1716 E.O: 20 Scientists (called Schiruka and Alchemists at the time until 0 A.A.) from different countries decide to create a village only devoted to improve medicine, technology and other fields of science. They give it the name “Irilien"

1604 E.O: the Village developed in a town with over 100.000 inhabitants and overtook the surrounding area, using it to produce ressources and create underground storages which will later become a traditional storage room type: Bunkerlike rooms several meters below the ground.

1532 E.O: half a year after the election of the new head of the “Chair of science” (the name of the position similar to a president or chancellor) and 10 years after the creation of a defensive guard force the surrounding nobels try to take over the city by force, but get repelled by the superior tactic and equipment of the troops of Technologia.

1531-1515 E.O: The era will be remembered as “The era of the broken 15”.

After the troops of Irilien started a campaign to take revenge for the fallen defenders, starting a 16 year long war that changed from the initial revenge war to a war of conquest, destroying the surrounding lands and taking them over, giving Irilien a big amount of diplomatic and military power.

1514 E.O: the lands conquered by Irilien unite under one flag and one Name: Counculate of Destrika.

1456 E.O: The south western Tribes submit to the rest of the Republic without any conflict under the condition they get a status as sub-independed territory.

1455 E.O: The South western tribes that joined for a short period of time to become part of Destrika break appart again and get stuck in constant conflict with each other for the next 34 years.

1421 E.O: The daughter of the von Grauhaag family, Elfriede von Grauhaag manages to unite the war torn region by outstanding diplomatic abilities and ends the conflicts in the area, bringing the people of the region centuries of piece and prosperity.

1435 E.O: Elfriede von Grauhaag succumbs to a unknown illness at the age of 37. Modern Medicine and Historians are split between the two most possible reasons for her passing: A Brain tumor or a Brain thrombus. Her reign was inherrited by her son Ruben von Grauhaag at the young age of 13.

1427 E.O: Ruben von Grauhaag passes away by presumably the same illness his mother had. The reign is innerhited by his Sister, Raine von Grauhaag.

1007 E.O: after half a millenia of peace and technological, medical and general development the state starts to restrict some parts of the medical development which upsets most of the medical staff and doctors.

1005 E.O: 2 years of implementing more and more restrictions a civil war start that shall take 5 years, called "the first medici uprising".

1000 E.O: the Medicis, Alchemists and their allies win the war and rebuild Destrika as a Dictatorship like country that suppresses any non scientific thoughts and works without any thought about the workers and Scholars.

900 E.O: The first mention of the traditional Destrikan Knight armour is made. It shall become the template after wich most Destrikan night and nobels armor was created around 900 E.O. in east Destrikan territories, guards of the medicus council usually wore a white cloack with two innertwisted snakes over the armor.

578 E.O: after more then 400 years of almost complete isolation and Dictatorship that lead to enormous advance in Technology and Medicine the working class and many other citizens throw over the Dictator and his troops and create the communist people's republic of Destrika.

31 E.O: The Communist government dissolves, since over the last 40 years 30% of the population starved due to the enormous focus on military research and decreased food production.

30 E.O: the “30 year Debate” starts, in which the people of Destrika discuss what form of government would be the best for them.

December 1 E.O: the Debate comes to an end. The majority of the voters voted for a technocratical federation.

January 1 A.A: The Destrikan Federation is born. The anthem is created, it was chosen to not give it a text, so every researcher can have its own “personal” text to it, to show his or her goals and dreams for the future of science.

7 A.A: The people and the government start to isolate themselves again. A strong and stable state with a good amount of resources and food supplies that can rely on its own farmers to create enough food to feed the country makes this isolation work for the next 62 years.

16 A.A: The South western Tribes loose their status as sub-indipended territory after a voting held in the 3rd month of the year with 86% of the population voting for a loss of the status in exchange for connection to the subterrainian rail system that connects the biggest cities and conurbations.

69 A.A: The biggest pharmaceutical company, the “Regenschirm GmbH”, becomes the main producer of medicine. While a large portion of the population lives in relative poverty the goverment decides to manually decrease the value of food.

70 A.A: The different typse of usage of mold are getting researched, leading to the first successfull massproduction of antibiotics, one of the few developments, handed out to other countries, despite the national isolation.

71 A.A: Chemicals as possible method for warfare are first mentioned in hypothetices issued by several military research facilities.

72 A.A: The next 35 years are remembered as the 35 years of “civil enhancement”, meaning that the scientific focus laid on civil development like medicine and improvement in production and growing of food. It often gets ignored that major improvements in Biological warfare were made, lead by the Regenschirm GmbH.

107 A.A: after the Invasion of Pelisle and the following war the search for a mobile variant of the "Kampfstoffgefechtskopf”-launching platforms is started.

110 A.A: the first mass produced selfpropelled Artillery enters production, it bears the name Gefechtskopfwerfer 110.

119 A.A: A new Selfpropelled Artillery enters Production: the Gefechtskopfwerfer 119.

120 A.A: The war between Destrika, Aurosia and Sarmalions breaks out, the diplomatic relationship to Ariana and Leoline worsen. the first airdropped Cheamical weapons carried by early Heinrich HR - 171 strategic bomber enter production.

121 A.A: after the war started it became clear that the currently used SPA’s (selfpropelled artillery) are not fast enough for an offensive and mobile war. As it becomes clear that escort planes for the HR 171 strategic bombers are needed. The development of the Heinrich HR - 200 Schwerortungsjäger starts. A single Prototype with the name HR 199 gets finished. The civillians become more and more disgruntled about the constant bombing as the living conditions worsen and worsen.

123 A.A : the new Schnellbomber Heinrich HR - 189 aswell as the HR - 200 enter production. Chemical weapons see combat for the first time in Jennian history, with their introduction large portions of the Aurosian front collapse. However, it quickly becomes obvious that previous calculation about how much shell blasts and wind affect the gas were wrong.

124 A.A : The War ends. While Aurosia falls into chaos after its leadership, pressured by the collapsing military resigns, arangements with Sarmalions are made to lead to a smooth transition between destrikan and Sarmalionis leadership in the lost regions in the north of Destrika.

125 A.A : After the interational ban on lethal chemical weapons, the destrikan Abteilung für Sonderwaffen (AFS), shifts focus from chemical to biological weapons, while other non lethal chemical agents get developed for comercial purposes. while these productions are heavily superveiled by international supervisors, to ensure no breach of WMD Laws, the B-Weapon development is still in its infancy.

126 A.A : The Jennian world race is held, while not scoring any remarkable medals or prices, Destrika holds it in high regards to even be able to participate considering the lost war, complete halt on the chemical weapon development and lard lost of territory.

128 A.A : the Kasix-class Blockade Destroyer gets commisioned, the flagship of the class beeing the "Treya 104"

130 A.A : The Uranus-class Panzerkreuzer gets commissioned, its main feature are the 6 280mm Cannons in tripple turrets, aswell as its secondary weaponary, which consits of light cruiser 150mm guns. The flagship of the class, the "Baron von Grafenwald" was supplied with steel for its turrets, molded out of the leftovers of freighters, used to lure pirates into a trap, gaining it the nickname "Pirate bane". it later saw useage against Pirates, commanded by Admiral Trauernd.

140 A.A: introduction of the joint-programm Tank: Panzergefechtswagen 140

(Yet to be specified date) Panzergefechtskopfwerfer 151 is started
