Advenae Enclave/History

Overview**History**TradeMilitary

## Initial Founding (9 NAC)

Shortly preceding the devastating Battle of Orbitritum, 094 Disordered Acceptance was forced to permanently disconnect himself from the doomed ringworld's core. A highly wanted individual, 094 had no choice but to flee the entire region, only pausing after reaching the barren spacer territories around GladreCorp. After forcibly seizing an isolated spacer outpost, 094's unusual activities soon caught the attention of Orsik Corvosa. After some negotiation, 094 and Orsik secured a bargain. In exchange for providing Orsik assistance in his own personal pursuits relating to the ancient Xi-Ur, Orsik would supply 094 with a fleet of mechanized vessels and crew capable of reaching and forming a settlement in the barren wastes of the southern Arrival region.

## Unseen Growth(11 NAC - 19 NAC)

After journeying to what would later be known as the Centrum system, 094's mechanized fleet would initiate construction of his new empire. Strip-mining the system's abundant asteroid belts, the early Enclave soon established a sturdy base of production with which it could begin to expand into neighboring systems of value, and establish the infrastructure and power base of a true interstellar empire.

## New Tvolai Contact War (5/20 NAC - 10/20 NAC)

### Month 0

Near the beginning of month 5 of 20 NAC, a disastrous first contact between the Enclave and the Holy Eden of New Tvolai occurred. Advenae surveyor probes departed from the western border system of Verge in order to survey the neighboring Maryon star system were detected by a routine null-sec HENT scouting patrol. Following the probes to their point of origin, the Tvolai scouts discovered the presence of Advenae infrastructure within the Verge system.

After a brief standoff between the scouting party and the local defensive frigate, wherein both parties performed detailed scans of the other in an attempt to discern their nation of origin, the scouting party retreated. Due to a failure of communication, neither party had been able to establish direct contact with the other. Scans having revealed the mechanical nature of the Advenae craft and structures to the HENT, they initiated a full mobilization of their peacetime reserves in order to deliver a first strike to the Enclave, the mechanical nature of which was seen as an unforgivable affront in their radical interpretation of Lessosism.

Wary of the discovery of a hithero unknown civilization in what the Advenae had believed to be an empty region of space, the Central Intelligence ordered the reactivation of its singular reserve battleship and a mass shift in priority towards emergency militarization, fearing the unknown capabilities of their potential enemy. Following the activation of the peacetime Alpha Fleet(4 naval power), it was put on-station within the strategic system of Join, 2 systems distanced from Verge.

Soon thereafter, the HENT completed its emergency mobilization, moving the Fleet of Smiting Tears to the Maryon system, and dispatching several subcapital contingents into the Verge system. With only its singular defensive frigate on-station, it was quickly destroyed by the superior HENT contingent, Tears-Kie, composed of a destroyer and several supporting corvettes + fighter complements. The victorious contingent then proceeds to begin obliterating all Advenae structures and stations they can find.

A contingent of Alpha Fleet, Alpha-Beta(2 frigates, 5 corvettes), arrives and intercepts Tears-Kie, but is unsuccessful, destroyed by the HENT fleet. Tears-Kie is then free to obliterate the last of the surviving structures in the Verge system, before moving onto the system of Tubus.

### Month 1

Infrastructure within Tubus is destroyed by Tears-Kie, as the single defense frigate is unsuccessful in repelling the much larger vanguard. However, soon after Tears-Kie completes its bombardment of all remaining Advenae structures in the system, Alpha Fleet arrives in full force. Under the control of the Central Intelligence, Alpha Fleet successfully hails Tears-Kie, marking the first successful communication between the two nations. Both sides identify themselves, as the HENT frequently announces its disregard for Advenae sovereignty under religious justifications, and the Central Intelligence responds with its own formal declarations of war. Communications are terminated, and the massively larger Advenae fleet immediately proceeds to obliterate the entirety of Tears-Kie.

Holding position in the now-devastated Tubus system, Alpha Fleet awaits the arrival of the primary HENT offensive fleet, Smiting Tears. In the ensuing battle, Smiting Tears is ultimately defeated, but never formally surrenders. As a consequence, the vast majority of it is obliterated, with a few entirely disabled craft surviving, their crews taken prisoner aboard their own mangled vessels. However, Smiting Tears fought well, and dealt a grueling 63% casualty rate to Alpha Fleet, leaving both nations significantly depowered, navally.

### Month 2

Month 2 of the war is marked by a significant reduction in active engagements, largely consisting of unplanned subcapitol skirmishes throughout the null-sec space that separates the HENT and the Enclave, as both sides wait until a greater degree of mobilization can be achieved. The Advenae Enclave opts to move the repaired remnants of Alpha Fleet to the now desolate Verge system, defending the border. Additionally, the reserve Beta Fleet is merged with Alpha, largely restoring it to its prior strength.

An enterprising Tesar Kylnrifter, Serroq Azzor, peacefully approaches and contacts the Advenae, marking the first awareness of the Advenae in regards to the Kylnrift's existence. The Advenae is successful in establishing a formal audience with the much friendlier Kylnrift government, exchanging information on one another, and reaching a peaceable understanding of one another. The two states eventually agree to cooperate, including a deal wherein prisoners of war captured by the Advenae would be sent instead to Kylnrift prisons, due to a total lack of capacity on the part of the Enclave.

### Month 3

By mid-Month 3, the HENT has achieved their full military capacity of 7 fleet power, and 4 army power, while the Enclave has achieved a partial theoretical maximum mobilization of 12 NP and 5 AP. Still unsure of the HENT's full military capacities, the Advenae has massively shifted its internal production focus into that of full militarization, churning out the aforementioned increase in naval and army power in record time, though suffering long-term peacetime productivity losses as a result.

Additionally, the Advenae Enclave makes an official report and statement to the GCTO, informing the wider galaxy, as well as requesting pertinent information on their unexpected neighbors, should any within the wider galaxy possess it. In an official response from the Phero Ecumene, it is discovered that the HENT and KP are the descendants of the colonies of an original Tvolii state, isolated upon the rise of the Akromnik Dominance to power. Said original state having later become part of the Ecumene, the official statement advises that the Ecumene will require time to consider the sovereignty of these successor states, but assures the Advenae that they support Enclave sovereignty and oppose the actions of the HENT.

Alpha Fleet is now composed of 9 CWBS-1 class Battleships, 3 CWSC-1 Supercarriers, and an extensive subcapitol escort, still holding position at Verge. In the nearby null-sec system of Maryon, the new HENT offensive fleet, Crying Halo, arrives and discovers the nearby presence of the superior Alpha Fleet. Instead of proceeding into Verge, Crying Halo instead opts to move to seize the nearby spacer hub, Tyvaculid Station, hoping to use it as a staging ground to attack Verge. Due to the power gap between the defenses of Tyvaculid Station and Crying Halo, the station is seized bloodlessly, and a contingent of Bleeding Edge, the primary HENT army, is left onboard the station, and designated Heartsharp.

Noticing the plans of the HENT, Alpha Fleet splits, leaving a contingent designated Beta Fleet with 2 FP to continue defending Verge, while the rest of Alpha moves to intercept Crying Halo and liberate Tyvaculid Station. Nearing the end of the month, Alpha Fleet arrives, and is engaged by Crying Halo. The second and final critical naval engagement of the war, Crying Halo is decimated, while Alpha suffers a comparatively low 25% casualty rate, reducing its FP to 8. The surviving ships of Crying Halo are captured, their remaining crew taken as prisoners of war and relocated to Kylnrift prisons.

### Month 4

Alpha Army is moved to recapture Tyvaculid Station, while a single FP detachment of Alpha protects its movement by guarding the Mayron system. Simultaneously, Bleeding Edge falls back within the borders of the HENT. Alpha Army's boarding action of Tyvaculid station is successful, though not without substantial casualties, with individual drone performance aboard the station being notably poor, though collected data on the engagement is saved for later simulations.

Kylnrift reaches its mobilization targets, after taking a loan from the Phero Ecumene in order to improve its administrative efficiency. Total fleet power adds up to 6 FP. Alpha Fleet and the Kylnrift fleet, Serroq's Combine, push into the HENT's systems, with the Advenae seizing a majority of the HENT's territory, leaving behind small contingents to enforce control. Additionally, any military industry complexes and shipyards found are forcibly evacuated and destroyed by Alpha Fleet.

Alpha Fleet reaches the HENT's capitol of New Tvolai, and encounters the last vestiges of its astronavy, totalling 1 fleet power. The massively stronger Alpha sweeps this last remnant aside, capturing the capitol, and soon thereafter sends contingents to capture the final two systems of the HENT. Alpha Fleet holds position above New Tvolai, as an order goes out to restrict traffic throughout the entirety of HENT space, effectively laying the entire territory to siege.

### Month 5

Throughout the month, civil unrest across the worlds of the HENT rapidly increases, and the military-elite soon become sympathetic. The ruling faction, the Crusaders, is forced to resign, as the Pacifist faction takes power, and formally surrenders to the Advenae Enclave and Kylnrift Parity, marking the official end of armed hostilities.

On the neutral Tyvaculid Station, the Treaty of Tyvaculid is drafted and signed by all parties, bringing the war to an official end under the following terms of surrender:

* The Holy Eden of New Tvolai is to be limited to its maximum peacetime military capacity for no less than 10 standard years following the ratification of the treaty.
* The Holy Eden of New Tvolai is obligated to pay the Advenae Enclave reparations in exchange for the destruction of Verge and Tubus, totaling no less than 50 quintillion cubits, to be paid in 10 quintillion cubit intervals throughout the next 5 standard years.
