### Battles

Mopsouhestia (299 BC)Adrone (298 BC)

Anasartha (297 BC)

The **First Seleukid-Antigonid War** was launched in 301BC by Seleukos I Nikator. Long a rival of Antigonos, Seleukos saw an opportunity to invade the heartlands of his rival in 301BC with the Antigonids and their allies involved in war against the Greek cities.

## Opening Phase

The war opened with Seleukod marching his army along the Euphrates to sack the Antigonid capital of Antigoneia. With most of the Antigonid army occupied in the west against the Greek cities, Antigoneia was left only lightly defended. With the capital under his control, and most of Syria following shortly, he moved his army further west and sacked Mallos.

## Panataokos' Tigris Campaign

With matters in the west requiring their attention, Antigonos an his son Demetrios I Poliorketes left the war in the hands of Pantaokros Antigonid. With Antigoneia already fallen, Pantaokros decided not to challenge Seleukos in Syria. Instead, bolstered with forces freed up after the Antigonids won the war against the Bithyanian League, he tried to force Seleukos to withdraw by invading Mesopotamia along the Tigris river. He managed to invade unopposed and managed to capture most of Assyria until a fresh force under Patrokles, pulled from Gerrha and Bactria, arrived and blocked his advance at Ashur.

## The War for Syria

As a result of being blocked from marching on Mesopotamia, Pantoakros was forced to challenge Seleukos in Syria itself. An intensive campaign with many minor engagements followed until Seleukos managed to catch Pantoakros at Adrona and defeat him in the field. A year later Pantoakros tried linking up with Antigonid forces under Asheri Demostenid, but their effort was twarthed when Seleukos intercepted the armies en route and defeated them in defeated them in detail at Anasartha. This ended the presence of the Antigonid forces in the field, and only minor engagements would follow.

## The Conclusions of the War

Seleukos sent his strategos Patrokles south in Palestine to command the loyalty of the cities there, while he remained at Antigoneia to prevent the Antigonids from sending reinforcements. Patrokles found the cities in the interiour willing to submit to Seleukos, but the coastal cities -strongly fortified and without a navy to blockade them- resisted and Patrokles was forced to bypass them. With matters at home requiring attention and unwilling to commit to long sieges of the cities of the Levant, Seleukos decided to enter into a treaty formalising the situation in the field. The Seleukids gained Antigoneia and all lands in the interiour of Syria, while the Antigonids remained in control of the wealthy trading cities along the coast.

Heroes

video File:Placeholder
**Heroes** (英雄, *Eiyū*) is/are individuals who possesses extraordinary talents, supernatural phenomena, or superhuman powers and uses them in dedication to protecting or otherwise serving for the greater good; using their skills to counter community issues, such as day-to-day crime and combat threats enacted by Villains.

Some heroes are motivated into their careers by a sense of responsibility or duty, while others are thrust into the role due to a formal calling. Others may also hold a personal vendetta that leads them into the heroic role or some may simply hold a strong belief in justice and humanitarian service and possess abilities to affect great change.

Regardless of their motivation, the heroic life is not for everyone; a willingness to risk one's own safety in the service of good is usually expected to be done so without expectation of reward and as such some heroes have to make great sacrifices in their personal or professional lives in order continue their heroic careers.

Villains

video File:Placeholder
**Villains** are individuals who possesses extraordinary talents, supernatural phenomena, or superhuman powers and uses them in pursuit of a personal or professional objective that is usually at the detriment of the public, the greater good, and/or any other moral standard. As their actions usually cause community disturbance, Villains are actively opposed by Heroes who seek to curb the destruction the actions of villains cause.

A villain's motivation to break moral law varies; some break it as part of a personal pursuit of obtaining a goal (whether it be the ambition for power or the pursuit of revenge), others break it as a consequence of a professional occupation or task, others still will break it simply for kicks and for the thrill of "crossing the line" (due to a lack of empathy for anything beyond themselves) and there are others who are diagnosed as "Criminally Insane"; to whom laws like morality do not register due to mental instabilities.

The **Antigonid-Bithyan War** was a war fought between Antigonis I Monophthalmos and the Bithynian League. The distraction of this war, together with war against Rhodos, offered an opportunity for Seleukid I Nikator to launch an invasion of Syria.

By 300 BC the Bithyanians had to admit defeat and placed themselves under the suzeranity of Antigonos. This freed up forces to deal with Seleukos' invasion of Syria.
Polydamas Seleukid

**Polydamas Seleukid** (286 - 217 BC) was nephew to Antiochos I. He was the son of the disgrached Achaios, but due to his great skill he was still appointed archigrammateus. Where he excelled in interpreting and shaping the law to streamline administration and collect on taxes. However so many riches were acquired during the Second Seleukid-Antigonid War that the institution of additional taxes was not necessary for many years to come, despite Seleukos II's megalomanic building plans.
Zenopolis (city)

**Zenopolis** is a Seleukid temple city in Phoenicia. It was founded during the reign of Onomastos I. And developed into an important religious centre due to its proximity to mount Hermon.

The Disc

Artwork by Morac101.

**The Disc** is a strange item acquired by LTJG Lakat on Narendra Station from the merchant Timok.

## **Description**

### **Appearance and Construction**

It is the shape of a large coin. It is three inches in diameter. It has a large red gemstone in the center. Tricorder scans show that the gemstone is actually a complex lattice of trillions of silica pathways, and it resembles a data core. The item emits a unique energy signature, which is unlike any seen by Starfleet before. The metal portion is made of a previously unknown ore, possibly an unknown element. The basic properties are similar to steel, but it has a unique molecular composition. Tricorder readings are unable to provide a date for its construction, but estimates are in the several millions of years.

It has words written on it in the language of the Progenitors.

### **Function**

It's purpose is to collect histories of people across the galaxy. It is able to read and record the memories of anyone who comes into close proximity.

## **History**

Lakat acquired the artifact from Timok, a Ferengi merchant on Narendra Station. He had no idea what it was, and he sold it to her for the small sum of 20 Federation credits. Lakat's pet wompat, Orwell, was strangely interested in it.

Later, Lakat unknowingly activated it ("Trial Runs pt. 1"). It created an image of her father, and gave its name as Ao'tun. When she asked what face it would choose, it changed into a bald, pale skinned humanoid with sunken eyes and tightly stretched skin. It told her that its purpose was to collect and record the memories of people, and that it was damaged. It couldn't access any memories other than hers and Vrenn's, which it had just recorded. It then glitched out and lost all power.

### **Notes and Trivia**

* The timeline of the Progenitors and their activities is not logically consistent within Star Trek lore. Some instances[1] report them as living 4.5 billion years ago. Others[2] equate them with a species that lived 10,000 years ago. Olyn Madzhin-Nil establishes Ao'tun as 100,000 years-old based on the age of their civilization, but scans indicate it is 100,000,000 years-old.

Carrots

*"These bright orange roots grow out of the ground. They hardy and resilient, and healthy to boot, however, they don't like warmer climates."*

- Carrot Plants*"Raw carrots. Great in a variety of dishes, and healthy too!"*

- Carrots

Carrots are a crop and food item added by the Core of RimCuisine 2. They can be grown in cold and temperate climates after researching Basic Agriculture.

They can be found fairly commonly in most terrains and can be eaten raw for no mood penalty, but do have a 2% chance to give food poisoning. They can also be used in cooking to give the +1 stackable "Ate uncommon ingredient" mood buff.

A solid source of food, whether grown of scavenged, due to their short growing time, the main downside is its low yield. For better established colonies, the low soil fertility can also be an annoyance, but helps significantly when good soil cannot be found.

## Growth Table

### Notes

Growth time calculated as:

While their light equipment was no match for the Seleukid phalanx, their high moral in fighting for their land did allow them to inflict significant casaulties on Onomastos' forces.

Following the battle Onomastos had Marqas sacked for their resistance to him.
Antigonid-Rhodos War (301BC)

The **Antigonid-Rhodian War** was a war fought between Antigonis I Monophthalmos and the League of Rhodos. The distraction of this war, together with war against the Bithyanian Lague, offered an opportunity for Seleukos I Nikator to launch an invasion of Syria.

Artayntes Aramid, fresh from his victory at Bistam force marched his army back over the Albroz in an effort to relieve the city. While he came to late to save the city, he fell upon the unsuspecting Seleukid forces and, after a tighly fought battle, managed to rout them.

The Greek mercenaries, now under the pay of Antiochos, turned north to chase them and caught them at the town of Herakleia Media.
Siege of Pura (258 BC)

1,500 archers

The **siege of Pura** was a siege fought during the Mauryan Civil War.

Pura was an import Mauryan border fortress which offered stiff resistance against the Seleukid invasion of the Mauryan Empire.

Eudoxos Demostenid

Maked (247 BC)

**Eudoxos Demostenid** (304 - 225 BC) was a strategos during the Second Seleukid-Antigonid War.

While his entire army was destroyed at Lysias a few months later, he escaped back to Cappadocia and would suffer from severe depression the rest of his life.
Battle of Apameia Orontou (246 BC)

War elephants

The Battle of Arsamosata was a battle fought during the opening phases of the First Armenian-Seleukid War. Armenia had hoped to capitalise on preceived political instability and Seleukid preoccupation with rooting out unrest in Gerrha to invade lightly defended Assyria.

Ekdemos quickly marched his army from Antiocheia to meet Phraates at Arsamosata to halt Armenian operations in Assyria. The battle which resulted was a very closely contested engagement, with heavy casaulties on both sides. This prevented the Ekdemos from capitalising on his victory and allowed Astahpa to siege the border forts at Chlomaron until Onomastos I arrived.

Patrokles Patroklid

Herakon (son)

Seleukos (son)

Syrian Rebellion

**Patrokles** (334 - 266 BC) was a prominent military commander during the reign of Seleukos I Nikator. Of humble birth he proved himself a capable commander during the Gerrha campaign and Seleukid-Antigonid War, and was later adopted into the prominent Andromachi family.

## Career

Patrokles was first assigned command of the Gerrha campaign. With the counterinvasion of Mesopotamia by Pantaokros Antigonid via the Tigris, he was quickly ordered to assemble a force and march north to block his advance. He would later command the forces sent south to command the loyalty of the cities of the levant.

As he was the only commander available in the area, he met the Ktesiphon Rebels in battle at Seleukeia Megala, where he rallied the cavalry for a charge against the rebels, giving time for his infantry to escape. His quick action and the casualties he inflicted prevented, even though defeated, the rebels from besieging the city and gave enough time for Seleukos I Nikator to return from Syria with the army.

Later in life he was put in command of the Seleukid forces guarding the frontier with the Antigonids. While there he reworked the whole infrastructure of his command, greatly improving efficiency.

## Syrian Rebellion

When the Syrian Rebellion erupted Patrokles was in command of the Seleukid forces in Syria. He moved quickly to subdue the rebellion in Palmyra before subduing the rebel stronghold of Batnae. He positioned himself at Marde and so contained the rebellion to the north of Assyria. In 276 BC he saw an opportunity to defeat the rebels in the field, de facto ending the rebellion in Syria.

## After the rebellion

Patrokles' long military service earned him great prestige. Antiochos I would watch him with suspicion for the rest of his life, but would not, or could not, remove him from his position. Taking advantage of his popularity Patrokles instituted land settlements for his veterans in Syria just before his dead.

## Armenian-Atropatene War

Orotones' intervention in Atropatene proved to be highly counterproductive. Datames had been fighting a succesful defensive campaign from the Eynali mountains, but Armenian pressure forced Datames to enter into negationation with Seleukos, resulting in him pledging himself to the Seleukids.

## Armenian-Albanian War

Orontes succeeded in wresting control of the province of Ayrarat from Albania.

Susa Garrison

The **siege of Susa** was a siege during the Syrian Rebellion.

After the Gerdosians defeated the hastily assembled blocking force at Aroc earlier that year, the rebels had a wealth of choices for their next action. Susa, the rich model city of Seleukos I Nikator was their eventual target. A city of great prestige, it was vital for the Seleukids to prevent its fall, not only to protect the legacy of Seleukos, but also to maintain the loyalty of the troops. Susa was afterall home of many veterans who settled their during Seleukos' reign, and their children now in the army. The only forces available in the region to relieve the city was the defeated force under Antiochos Gelotopoios, reinforced he was ordered to quickly march on Susa and relieve the siege.

The siege itself was a shoddy affair. Hawfi'athat's forces were ill equiped for a siege, being originally raised to chase and defeat rebels in the desert, but could effectively prevent food from being supplied to Susa. They however were not expecting a relieve force to show up, Antiochos had after all recently been defeated, they were not prepared when Antiochos fell on them and -at the same time- the numerous veterans came charging out of the gate.

While most of the cavalry was away raiding, effective use of archers on the open plains resulted in significant Gerrha losses.

The lack of real resistence against the Seleukid campaign caused Seleukos to withdraw most of his cavalry to support his invasion of Syria.
Battle of Chalkis Belos (299BC)

200 war elephants

A pious and devout woman, during the Syrian Rebellion she worked tirelessly to please the gods, believing the situation the Antiochos found himself in was the result of displeasure from Zeus. She further worked to please the rebels by drawing up plans

One of the many causes of the Syrian Rebellion was a feeling of neglect in the outlying regions, who felt cities such as Seleukeia Megala and Susa were prefered over the ancient, and non-Macedonian cities, which predated Seleukid rule. In an effort to alleviate these feelings Zosime worked tirelessly to direct investment to such disgrunteled cities, such as Palmyra.

## The plot on Seleukos

She had always disliked Seleukos, Antiochos' first son and prefered heir, for not being one of her own, thereby preventing one of her children from inheriting the Seleukid Empire.

Kalliope (sister)

Phanostrate (sister)

**Abreas Fratara** (299 - 218 BC( was governor of Parthia from 282 BC and member of the prominent Frataraka family.

His assignment to Parthia proved to much fortuitous: He became renowed for his beneficence tolerance and common sense. So much so that the residents of Hekatompylos held a festival in his honour.

There he found the Atropatenean army, but the difficult terrain, high mobility of the Atropatenean army and great skill by which Oxyartes Atropatid wielded his forces made it difficult to engage in a decisive battle.

## Second Battle of Arvandj

A year later, in march 286 BC, a cavalry detachment under Spithradates Frataraka was ambushed at Arvandj by Oxyartes Atropatid, who inflicted heavy casaulties on the units.

Sabakos Frataraka

Sosistratos (son)

**Sabakos Frataraka** was a member of the prominent Frataraka Family and chief of the royal bodyguard of the Seleukid Empire but, likely due to him being a thoroughly likeable, paid little attention at court.
