The Long Night begins where much blood was shed, birthing the next chapter of human history. Most of the surviving current factions formed during or shortly after this period. They individually aligned themselves on which path humanity should take to reclaim glory.

This philosophy leads to most of the great conflicts that followed.

The heavy injury Hextus received reminded him, the first time in his sheltered life numbed by the engineered perfection of his body, the fragility of flesh.

After the Kanycak Accords were signed into intergalactic law, the Orion Union was formally assimilated into the New Empire via means of becoming a Protectorate. It's political and military leadership disbanded, and in replacement it was made a "Country within a country". The Orion Union, being formally renamed to the Imperial Protectorate of Orion, the people of the former Union took this change mostly in stride. As the New Empire came in, with a goal to rebuild the planets of Orion to the same standard that the rest of the Imperial planets were held at, for some this was a change for the better, for others it was a change for the worst. Several smaller groups of the now defunct Orion Military would choose to make a resistance group, instead of ever bow down to the New Empire, this group is now commonly known as the Orion Rebels.

The first attack was a joint operation between Helios, NE, and Legion as a sign of partnership. They attacked with no plan and severely underestimated the forces, and only after discovering they were former Orion Special Forces by their tactics.

The Joint team retreated after losing the Helios Pilot Elektra, and undercover agent Aysha going missing for a time period.

Then the New Empire attacked again under a blizzard only to once again be pushed back by the Orion Rebels using the commandeered listening post to communicate the NE positions and MS clearly through the storm.

The third time, the New Empire finally managed to get the Orion Rebels to retreat from Gralia. Though the New Empire had lost a good chunk of both troops, and national pride as the Rebels use this moment to prove that they can stand upto the best of the New Empire’s forces.

Ozma successfully tricked the group into releasing him back to normal space.

## 6109 A.D November: Tikal Incident

The Super miner UMI Yebisu destabilized the planet Tikal causing an unknown Ancient warp gate known as “The World Bridge” to fully activate, allowing a huge influx of machines from the Sol System to pour through. An Old Empire AI known as “The War Master” tasked with watching the facility awoke and combatted the Ancient threat. Unable to stem the endless tide, it worked together with the factions to fight to the gate and shut it down. Mother Unit Terra was discovered to be at the Gates entrance and running the invasion. Though with her exit, Orion, NE, Helios, and Legion were able to successfully close the gate, and defeat the massive ancient AI ship known as a “Wall Of Jericho.”

## 6109 A.D December 14th: First Investigation of Mare Station

After the events of Mjolnir, Sector Admiral Justin Kelvi of the New Empire deployed with a small team of Mobile Suits to investigate a station known as Mare Station. Their goal was to see if the rumor that a ancient and powerful mobile suit known as the MSN-04 Sazabi was present on the station. Their investigation would prove that the Sazabi was indeed present, but it would also be the second time New Empire forces would encounter the ascended Newtype known as Ozma.

Drawing forth a massive group of Dwellers to attack the convoy of mobile suits, after a brief fight between Guti squads and even a Mobile suit in the confines of the tunnels before the Dwellers would suddenly retreat. While loading their mobile suits onto the Outer Haven however, they'd be detected by legion forces stationed nearby and would be attacked by a squad of Leo's and Virgo III's and later the H.L.V. Resulting in a brutal fight in one of the Outer Haven's hangar.

This message would be a call onto Humanity, though for what or whom it was unclear. This awakening of a world that is nominally in New Empire space prompts the Empire to send a small Imperial investigation team to the surface of the World. The team would be the famed Slayer, along with Yui Izanov. Somehow along their travels, the now famous Tiago Yamada would join them on their investigation into a sight known simply as the "Rose Garden"

## 6110 A.D January 23rd: The Investigation of the "Rosegarden"

After escaping Validun Tiago and his crew managed to make it to Cosmic Castaway. There he met the 2 Dukes of House Hazard and Mama- the matriarch of Cosmic Castaway.

Still, Tiago negotiated an agreement between Legion interests and Helios interests. He would later secure deals with Sector Admiral Justin Kelvi of the New Empire and even the Stardust Pirates.

## 6110 A.D November 21st: The start of Alpha Centauri

Slayer, and Zoe Nazarian from the New Empire, Tiago Yamada a Arcadian Civilian, along with Rania Desher of the Legion of Arcadia's military. Even Helios had a member of their military present, in the form of Warren D.F Davis, a simple MS pilot. These five individuals chose by majority to abandon Alpha Centauri, to fight for the future of Humanity instead of sacrificing themselves and all of those who called Alpha Centauri home, in the vain hope of a temporary peace. Though not all of them truly agreed with this decision, as it would lead to the withdrawal of all Helios, Legion, and Imperial forces before all life on Alpha Centauri was destroyed by the Ancients.

## 6111 A.D January 1st: The Zama Raid

Rumors told of an attack on a Legion target. All bets were on something large and important but a small backwater planet named Zama was the real target.

Border skirmishes were nothing new but today the Legion of Arcadia had a very specific goal- send a message that they weren’t going to be pushed around. Ramona Station was a New Empire base that was in debatable territory. It had been cleanly within the New Empire a decade ago but some recent treaties put that into dispute. For years the New Empire had been garrisoning troops at Ramona Station and amassing military might along the border. When questioned they’d always say it was “for wargames” or “for R&R”, or some other garbage excuse. When the latest treaty went into effect the disputed border gave Marquis Laffyette the authority to send a raid as a “show of force to stop New Empire expansionist aggression” on House Laffyette’s territory.
