Atlesian Empire

## The Atlesian Rebublic

### **Beginnings**

In the year 2004, Dorio Joun founds the Atlesian Corporation which deals in construction. Over the years the company grew to eventually have different departments most notably the Science/technology and engineering departments. It wasn’t until the year 2100 when during the colonization of the moon the company founds a special mineral, Atlesianium. This mineral was the key to invent new technologies but also create jewelry and other materials. The main use of Atlesianium was to build starships to traverse space, and build mining colonies in the asteroid belt. A few years later a secret department to weaponize Atlesianium is created becoming Atlisicon Technologies. During the start of the African Unification Wars in the 2120’s the company sends experimental weapon designs to the African Unionist. Eventually learning from the mistakes and tweaking designs the first stable generations of Atlisicon Military technology is created.

After the African Unification wars, to thank the Atlesian Corporation, the African Union allows them to help rebuild the nation. Also with the invention of the Varseli Engine which drastically improves space travel along with Atlesianium, space travel and colonization becomes more feasible. Atlisicon technologies begins secretly experimenting with the varseli engine which uses plasma energy to create plasma weaponry. Besides selling weapons to the major nations, the Atlesian Corporation helps build the capital city of Vilgurd on Mars. The company also helps creates humanities first military starships though the capabilities were only to board other starships and the international space station.

After World War III the remaining unaffected nations begins to unite the planet. The corporation having sent most of its assets to Mars begins to work with the Martian government who proclaimed independence years earlier to help expand humanity on other planets. In 2218 After over 20 years of not hearing anything from Earth, eventually a small diplomatic ship has arrived explaining the Earth is united under the United Earth Government. They wish to seek trade relations with the Martian Republic to help rebuild earth. Eventually the UEG renames itself the Terran Union in the year 2221 AD which starts the 1st Earth Calender year. The next few years saw the corporation help rebuild earth even secretly creating a base near the city of London and building what eventually becomes the world’s biggest spaceport. After the Terran-Martian war humanity was temporarily lead by Mars and during its reign help kickstart the Colonization age, many worlds were colonized. Then after the 2nd Terran-Martian War, Earth now renamed Terra finally unites humanity and with the help of the Atlesian Corporation helps build updated military technology, but at the cost of Atlisicon weapons being banned since it almost wiped humanity. Under the Goldilocks initiative which was continued after the 2nd war with mars, Terra created the planetary rights association which in turn for money small to large companies and corporations could buy rights to colonize new colonies. In the year 2245 or 24 EC planet Bargun, is bought by the Atlesian Corporation, later renamed to Atlas Prime after Zaila Joun’s son Atlas, who was CEO.

### **Early Republic** **2301 - 2343 AD 80 - 122 EC**

CEO Vicnaire Joun with the help of trusted aides drafts and creates the founding document that turns the corporation into a functioning Republic. Though the name of the document is largely forgotten it is remembered as the Vicnaire reforms. The head of state becomes the Consul, which is the executive branch, which last 6 years. He/She is aided by a selected group of people known as the Atlesian Council. The Legislative and judicial branches are run by a group of 427 elected officials by the people known as the Atlesian Senate.

“Our people will live”

Vicnaire Joun 2301 AD[80 EC]

Unlike other planetary governments which were primarily lead by companies called Planet-Companies respectively, wealth was poured into the people to create jobs, better infrastructure, and more creating a prosperous, lucrative, productive economy and social security. The quality of life not seen on many planets in the Terran Union. Vicnaire being so popular among the people was elected for another term. The years following the formation saw the economy of the Terran Union increasing and unity with the human race seems at an all time high. With population growing, Atlas Prime itself growing nearly 1000% to 25 million people from 2.3 million when it was founded. The official language of humanity became Ainsi.

Though peaceful on Atlas Prime, much can’t be said of the rest of the colonies. Mother Terra held a policy of benign neglect due to being in a state of bankruptcy held auctions for planetary colonization to help humanity recover from the devastating consequences of the wars that were fought from World War III to the 2nd Terra-Mars War. The Planet-Companies grew richer and powerful than Terra, some at the expense of the people. By the year 2314 Terra now resembling a prewar prosperity level begins to take more direct control of its colonies, including Atlas Prime. Though angry Consul Sansa Anss agrees due to not having a proper military. For the young republic it is beneficial to be in the graces of its mother planet, they provide military goods and technology in exchange for military protection against an increasing number of raids of the shipping lanes. Mid way through the Earth Calendar many disgruntled Planet-Companies build its own militaries by arming its citizens and navies. These navies begin raiding on mass halting many necessary supplies for new colonies and especially supply and goods to Terra itself. Due to the nature of this new conflict the aggressors were named pirates dubbing the conflict the Pirate War. The following year saw the first real engagement of the war between the Terrans and pirates at planet Husie with armed Merchant starships equipped with decades old World War III tech known as Atlisicon.

Consul Sanza chose the side of Terra but for the most part remained neutral though providing support. With the trade routes being raised new ones are created at the cost of many lives to plot these courses. Trade with Mars and Terra increases relations tenfold resulting in the construction of two new cities and with them the largest spaceport on the entirety of the Terran Union. The war lasting for a few more years ended in 2320 AD/ 99 EC with nothing much changing in the state of the galaxy. Planet-Companies retained their “rights” while rebuilding their armies and navies. The war served a learning point for both sides. For the Colonies, including Atlas Prime the creation of a standardized trained professional military served a point to defend itself and shipping lanes. For Terra itself upgrading its military using current military equipment and technology. Consul Sanza issued new economic reforms to support a large military.

Just two years later a massive revolt in the colonies lead by the previous Planet-companies shocks the galaxy with its goals, complete independence from Terra. Atlas Prime allies itself again with Terra even sending its own military to support. During the war not much was seen on the planet. Besides debates on whether switching sides or remaining neutral was the norm. But to protect the planet from invasion, Consul Sanza creates sectors on the planet lead by landed lords. These lords uses the economy of their sectors to create private armies alongside government troops to defend their areas. The rise of an aristocracy in a republic was unique only to Atlas Prime. The 2nd Pirate war ended in 2343 AD/122 EC. Unlike the first war everything changed for humanity. Terra, leader of the Terran Union, humanity asserts complete authority over the colonies. Planet-Companies are dismantled and replaced with Terran appointed governors except a few loyal planets, like the Atlesian Republic. Yaqu Joun, son of Vicnaire Joun and veteran of the 1st and 2nd Pirate Wars is elected Consul.

Life in Atlas Prime remained exceptional in the post war years. Terra becoming more powerful using its military to enforce its will over the colonies became the norm. Since there is no entity to contest Terra humanity hasn’t seen this level of unity since the end of the Wars of Human Unification. Since the Pirate defeat the idea of independence was never brought up again, since all humans came from Mother Earth, Terra. But in the shadows a new ideology was being forged. The idea of being human from earth begins to fade but where are you born. It’s been generations since the colonies could claim descent from Earth, Lisuranism is what’s it called. Though not endorsed by the Terran government, a new movement to combat Lisuranism is formed known as Earth Supremacy. In 2378 AD/ 158 EC saw the cities of Atlas City and Hygúl City finish construction with the largest spaceport being in Atlas City. Atlas City becomes the capital of Atlas Prime.

2418 AD(197 EC) a year which changed the course for humanity. Thought defeated the Pirates emerged once again but united in the cause of Lisuranism, now known by its founder Lisura. They preach liberation, independence from the hegemonic Terra. This the 3rd Pirate began. Remaining neutral again Atlas Prime and the consuls devised a strategy of supplying the Terran Army and Navy discreetly. They also help devise the first concepts of full scale invasions of planets since many have seceded and needed to be recaptured. Also doctrines of naval combat are more refined instead of the hit and run tactics during the first two wars. The war is devastating for many planets. After year after year the wars seemed so out of site. In 2443 in its 25th year of war saw the pirates lead by Sea Lord Nighur proclaim the nation of Lisura. The war is renamed the Lisura War much to the displeasure of Terrans. The only notable person from Atlas Prime was. Hilux John great grandson of Vicnaire. He joined the Terran Navy eventually becoming an Admiral. He becomes a War Hero among the Terran Union at much to the detriment of the Earth supremacist. After discovering the capital of Lisura he is assasinated. The people of Atlas Prime and Consul Japrx declares Hilux day. Admiral Guil of the Terran navy forcefully conscripts the entire military of the Atlesian Republic. With the war having no end of sight no one knows what to expect.

### Late Republic 2453 - 2496 AD 232 - 275 EC

The next twelve years saw the Lisuran war continue. Even for worlds that didn’t see action they still felt the economic downturn. Consul Pautry mended the economic crisis by heavily militarizing where 1 of 3 citizens from the ages of 16 - 43 were professionally trained for at least 3 months. When the war ended the people rejoiced and hope for the economic prosperity of their grandfathers. But there was a shock, though winning the war the Terran Union dissolved despite having complete authority over the planets it reigned. In its death a new concept arose. The Confederation of Human Planets rose in its stead. All colonies including Atlas Prime were given “Independence” so another war doesn’t start between humanity, the Terran Army and Navy became the Confederate Army and Navy. The now recognized Atlesian Republic was one of very few to maintain a large military force.

In 2476 AD/ 255 EC the now famous Admiral Tatlen and General Robert Joun were born. Two years later The Atlesian Republic embraces Lisuranism referring themselves as Atlesian for the first time. This embrace started a discourse with Terra who still embraces Earth Supremacy. But Admiral Guil hero of the war despises how rich The Republic is compared to Terra whom he regards as inferior. During the 5th Elections of the Confederation, The Atlesian Republic wins control of the Confederation for the next Earth Calendar years. In that time many reforms were passed in support of the more poorer planets and massive decentralized system of government. These reforms were hated by the richer planets and Terra who saw this as blasphemous. Only for the next elections, Terra rigged it to win so they can illegal repeal these new reforms. Many Atlesian government officials on Terra protest. The Atlesian Embassy is expelled on Terra. The then Atlesian Consul threatens secession which temporarily ceases hostilities. The once loyal Atlesians are now in opposition which many old disgruntled planets support.

In 2494 AD/272 EC the 33rd Election of the Republic is finished, Consul Mecklinburg is elected the 32nd Consul. Two years in his consulship Robert Joun, who made a name for himself in the Confederate Navy joins the Atlesian Republic. Robert preaches to Mecklinburg the ideas that the Atlesians are superior to the Confederation and many planets will side with them. They have a more technological advantage when it comes to military tech, the economy is booming the Confederation will have no choice but to accept. After weeks of deliberation the most import decision was made. The year of infamy 2496 AD/274 EC Consul Mecklinburg declares Independence from the Confederation of Human Planets.

> This Confederation no longer supports the idealism of self-governance and recognizes the sovereignty of its members, therefore this Confederation has failed in what it was created for”
>
> Consul Mecklinburg of the Atlesian Republic 2496 AD/ 274 EC

What is now known as the Interstellar War was unexpected even to the Confederation. Many planets that fought the Terrans years earlier sided with the Atlesians proclaiming them the successors of Lisura. The Atlesians made the first moves and with superior technology won the Battle of Ausgith. Many more battles were fought but due to the Confederation larger navy they started getting overwhelming the Atlesians. Vicars Base was 2 light years away from Atlas Prime and an important site to hold. The Confederation massed a navy of 25,000 strong defeating the Atlesians. A week later Atlas Prime was blockaded and sieged. Ironically the Confederate forces were lead by Colonel Tatlen John, an Atlesian who was loyal. After landing a force of a million men battles raged crossed Atlas Prime. Colonel Joun met his brother for the last time killing him. With the death of General Robert, and the capture and swift execution of Consul Mecklinburg, The Atlesian Council and Senate surrenders. The Atlesian Republic is dismantled and put under military occupation. 80% of the surviving Atlesian Navy is incorporated into the Confederate Navy, 10% of the damaged ones are sunk. The rest are decommissioned. The Atlesian Army once and elite fighting force is dismantled. The treaty of Atlas is signed ending the war as soon as it began.

## The Atlesian Empire

### **Early Empire 2497 - 2600 AD 276 - 379 EC**

A year following the war saw drastic changes on Atlas Prime. Political opposition was silenced, Any demonstrations was suppressed by the military. Atlas Prime is renamed Nimburia. Any ideals that weren’t pro-Terra or pro-Confederation was also suppressed. Political leaders were either executed or jailed. The government now lead by a military governor is picked by the Military Council of the Confederation. The idea of being an Atlesian was outlawed. Millions fled as refugees, the Confederate military ignored them hoping they will perish on their journey.

2503 AD/282 EC saw an undiscovered system with four habital planets colonized by the Atlesian refugees. Hidden signals created to help bring Atlesians or any opposing group together to build a new society. The Amur System is founded. Planets Van’Amur, Van’Munoon, Van’Vansu, and Van’Gulsi are founded. Van’Amur becomes the capital. The Atlesian Republic reforms itself with the aristocracy at its center. The nobles form a new senate which elects a consul. The consul holds no authority and is seen as ceremonial. Large amounts of Atlesianium is found which restarts the economy. The rise of powerful families puts the citizenry as second class and work them to death. The old republic, the old days are dead. It is said that the nobility are confederate sympathizers and wanting that pre war prosperity.

The Atlesian shipyards are built along with the new Atlesian Military academy to train a fighting force, not to go against the confederation but to control its people. Many lower nobility who are still want to fight the confederation sends spies to recruit, gather information hoping to change the views of the Senate and council. One of the people they recruited was a young man named Killion. After years in the academy and swearing loyalty to the senate, Killion graduates the academy qualifying him to be both General and Admiral. In need of “loyal” men the senate grants him both titles increasing his popularity. Despite being a two year limit many close friends he made over the years and his fiancé Nuna asked him to run for Consul. The Senate eventually discovers he is a descendent of Vicnaire Joun, the father of the Republic. In a secret meeting he mentions his father is Admiral Tatlen Joun, he is pressured to say his uncle, Robert is his father since he didn’t betray the republic years ago. With the backing of the senate(hoping to use him as a puppet) he wins the consulship for five years of 2530 AD/309 EC.

Known as the Killion reforms, Consul Killion sets to undo the disaster of how the government is run. Thinking he is no harm the nobility and senate lets him do whatever. New military, economic and administrative ideas reform the republic. Overtime this saw increase quality of life for the citizens, freedoms are increase as the power returns to the people. Most of all in public speeches Killion addresses his people about rebuilding their military strength to combat the Confederation and avenge their defeat. Many Atlesians gradually become fanatical about Killion, creating a cult of personality around him. The aristocracy slowly realizes that their grip on power is fading plots to assassinate Killion. Killion quickly learns of the plot and arrest the senators and nobility responsible. This sparks a Civil War between Consul Killion who has the loyalty of the people and the military against the Senate, Nobility who’ve hired mercenaries.

#### **Atlesian Civil War 2532 - 2534 AD 311 - 313 EC**

Many documents about the civil war was lost. What is known is that the nobility was ruthless against all who opposed it. Lacking in military personnel due to the actual military siding with Consul Killion they hired mercenaries companies to fight. One notable battle was in the capital city of Amur. A small company of female soldiers known as “Patriot Company“ stormed the senate building with such ferocity that the defenders immediately surrender. They were supported by a fanatical group called “Killions Vengeance” who took the surrounding area. Consul Killion impressed with the fighting skills of both Company and battalion proclaimed “Killions Vengeance” as the Republican Guard and “Patriot Company” as the Phoenix Guard as his personal guard units. When the war ended alot of Atlesians thought it took far longer than it needed to be.

The nobility was eradicated and the senate temporarily dissolved. Property was distributed equally among loyalist. Nobles who sided with Killion were allowed to keep their property but had to drop the noble titles. Much needed government reform were now able to commence. The Atlesian Council becomes the ruling body headed by the Consul. The Senate is reformed to represent all Atlesian citizens. Positions were filled based on merit, proficiency and efficiency.

Consul Killion is reelected, during his second term he gather much more supporters especially when it came to anti confederation policy. Many secret negotiations with disloyal confederate planets saw them secretly seceding and joining the republic. Pooling resources and material many new starships were built.

### Proclamation of Empire

In 2537 AD/316 EC Senator Hikle representative of all four Atlesian planets and its people puts a proposal towards the Atlesian Council. To crown Consul Killion as Emperor of the Atlesians. Initially rejecting the idea many if not all citizens were in support for the proposal. When brought to Killion himself he rejected the idea with disgust. When talking to one of his colleagues they said “You brought us out of the dark times, you are going to avenge our fathers”. Then when he visited an elderly home one of the elderly women approached him. “My father fought in the Lisuran War believing in Terra, when he came back and saw the Confederation take everything away. When I was in my thirties Consul Mecklinburg gave us a voice. Now you honey you gave us purpose, you made us Atlesians”.

September 11th, 2537 AD/316 EC at 1500 Consul Killion is proclaimed Emperor of the Atlesians. The Atlesian Empire is born with the House of Joun as its rulers. The Atlesian Senate and Council become the Imperial Council and Imperial Senate respectively. The now Imperial Army and Imperial Navy swear and oath of loyalty. The Republican Guard become the Imperial Guard numbering a million. The Phoenix Guard becomes the Preatorian Guard. The following year saw Crowned Prince Atlantic and Prince Hajle born to Emperess Nuna Joun and Emperor Killion. A few months after Hajle is born Emperess Nuna disappears with her two sons. Emperor Killion distraught at first renews his old plans of invading the Confederation thinking they were responsible. He creates a bigger and more powerful military creating a cruiser and battleship class designed for ship on ship combat. Unlike in the Pirate wars this new war was going to see the destruction of the Confederation. Planets will be invaded so new doctrines and tactics were created. He funds insurrection groups which became known as the Insurrection War in the Confederation. His plan was to weaken the military capabilities and not have them adapt.

14 years layers after the birth of Hajle, Nuna sends a message to Killion. With the guise of a 3 month vacation he secretly visits her and his sons. At first he was going to bring them but after spending time with them rethinks about his plans. Seeing his sons grow up peacefully he realizes his dream was to actually bring peace not war. He even meets with his father whom he hasn’t seen since he was 18. Though his kids question him he doesn’t say he is their father hoping they won’t inherit his legacy. After leaving his family he plans to visit them again but showing the world the Atlesians and bringing peace. For unknown reasons Admiral Joun rebels against the Sol Confederation. Distraught at his father’s actions his plans hasten. The public revealing was to come the following two years, 2556 AD.

##### The Great Galactic War 2556 - 2564 AD 335 - 343 EC

Before the planned to publicize the Empire and peace process, a warmongering faction who even though loved the Emperor wish his legacy is one of war and destruction instead of peace. Emperor Killion was secretly assasinated but proclaimed to have died in his sleep. The next day The Atlesian Council issues the now infamous orders. Invade. This the Great Galactic war began, The Atlesian Empire vs The Sol Confederation.

2556 AD saw many planets seceding from the Confederation. At first the Confederation thought it was another uprising planets with no real military. They sent a small fleet at a time not knowing the Atlesian Military was guarding the planets and due to the superior technology and difference in tactics the Confederate fleets were wiped out. By the time the confederation realized it was fighting against an actual enemy kept the information hidden. The only notable battle was the invasion of Nimburia. The Atlesians wanted to capture the old capital but had information the princes and heirs to Killions legacy lived there. During the battle imperial troops managed to find Emperess Nuna’s house and before they can save her, she was killed by confederate forces. A few minutes later two young men, soldiers killed the rescue team. Sources say these young men were the young princes.

2557 AD, the Confederation still lacking the identity of the enemy just calls them Lisura hoping the planets are against them. This turns out to be advantageous to the Atlesians who consider themselves to be Lisura’s Heir. Fighting for Lisuranism and the destruction of the Confederation and Terra may rally against the Confederation. The siege of Jinút begins and the capture of the Hypuria shipyards was a strategic blow to the confederation. The only way the Confederation could win is through sheer numbers, usually at the cost of a minimum of 1/3rd the fleet. In just two years, the confederation lost 34% of its military and 40% of its planets. While the Imperial military only lost .006% of its forces.

2558 AD, this year saw many more confederate planets fall to Imperial hands. By this time many outer planets switched to the Atlesian side. While the core worlds which were the few hundred planets that were first colonized were heavily defended remained in confederate hands. The most notable battle was for the planet Lambadao which fell into Atlesian hands. This planet was vital for the mineral Atlesianium which help manage to build the starships needed for combat. This year also saw the Confederate Council start to develop new tactics that weren’t from the pirate wars.

2559 AD, this year saw the heaviest of combat. The Atlesian invaded the planets Jinto and Foasa. The Atlesian instead of continuing their conquest halt their fleets and build/fority thier gains. The Battlestation Hokla is built. The Confederation saw this time to rebuild their fleets and build defenses for the future assaults. Still under siege the Confederation manage to send reinforcements to Jinút, winning the 2nd Battle.a few weeks later the Atlesians send their own reinforcements thus winning the 3rd battle of Jinút . The 3rd battle was the most devastating in the entire war. The result saw 5 million soldiers on both sides perish with an untold number of civilians eventually leaving most of the planet desolate. The reason for the invasions slowness was to demoralize and make the confederates lose faith in themselves watching their homes burn.

2560 AD, a turning point for the confederation. New battleship and cruiser classes were built to match the imperials. The same year saw the liberation of Garlen and Osirus. The Confederates were able to reverse engineer the Atlesian technology going to mark IV Atlisicon tech. The confederation also lift the ban on using Atlisicon weaponry so even the battlefield. The same time confederate spies were able to locate the Van’Amur systems. The Atlesians surprised with their massive casualties also switch the Atlisicon weaponry. This level of destruction wasn’t seen since World War III.

2561 AD saw a break of new fronts. Many planets that were under seized remained so. The sol confederation passes new legislation to improve their defenses. The Atlesians form a grip tight on their new conquest. As they get closer to Terra the populace tends to be more resilient and resistant. Though documents were largely burned many screamed “War Crimes”. Lack of manpower in the confederation saw the creation of war droids and a build up of military resources even pulling units from frontier planets. The Atlesians used this year to spread their propaganda, and spread Lisuranism more.

2562 AD the bloodiest year in the war. The Battle of Cuyliv saw the imperials fight war droids for the first time. This surprise the troops which caused a massive retreat. The battle was lost but with renewed vigor the planet was eventually taken. The Atlesians also secretly have built what became the first and last dreadnought class, AIS Downfall for a mission yet to be revealed. With a shock to the Empire a massive Confederate force launched an invasion of the Van’Amur home systems. Many of the defending fleet had been destroy and what remained retreated to gather reinforcements. Over 100 million confederate soldiers invade each planet, the largest invasion force in history. Van’Gulsi known as the “fanatical” planet is for the first time heavily nuked. The planet suffered a tremendous environmental disaster, many of the Atlesians both military and civilian were killed along with confederate troops. Admiral Saqui of the confederate fleet ordered it in revenge for his family dying on planet Fajddl which was one of the first planets to be conquered. Out of the entire fleet only 1 confederate refused the order which resulted in his execution, he would be later remembered and exonerated.

2563 AD saw the continued invasion of the Atlesian home systems. With the capital being invaded many Atlesians fleets and armies withdrew and hope to save the capital in time but were ordered mysteriously to hold. During the invasion of Van’Amur many confederates massacred the civilian population, they didn’t even attempt to order surrender. Van’Amur was only defended by the Imperial Guard which only numbered a million but put a ferocious fight against the invaders. For every imperial loss 6 confederates were killed. Eventually only 22 thousand of the imperial guardsmen survived by being captured. The praetorian guard which defended the imperial palace also fought tooth and nail even bringing out ancient weapons such as spears and axes in close quarters. Out of the 35 thousand woman only 22 were captured including Commander Fillion. With confidence the Confederation was about to declare victory until hidden Atlesian Reserve fleets and armies appeared and quickly took back their home systems. In revenge they killed all confederate soldiers and ships, only a quarter of the confederation invasion force survived. This heavily crippled the confederation military power to take back planets. The Atlesian Reserves were made up of the descendants of Cathar, their motto “Remember Cathar, Remember the Rape” after the rape of Cathar in the Lusitania War which desolated the planet. The Atlesians with all their might push deeper into Confederate territory. For the 3rd time the battle was fought on Nimbura. After the battle the Atlesians announced the ascension of Emperor Nexus. With his order all confederation territories is captured due to the military abandoning in favor of defending the sol System. Emperor Nexus with his fleets enter the Sol System, giving Mars the chance to surrender and join, they refused. This saw the last battle of the year, The battle of Mars. With a total of 45 million casualties for both sides The Atlesians sets their sights for Terra.

2564 AD. After the conquest of Mars Emperor Nexus who controls 90% of humanity orders the conquest of Terra to end the war. The Battle of the Loon saw the remaining Confederate navy destroyed, any surviving ships retreat. The Atlesians begins their invasion preparations, 150 million Imperial troops will invade along with 60 million Imperial Marines. The Confederation numbers 46 million with an untold number of civilians being drafted. The Battle of Terra becomes a battle of survival, tensions and revenge on both sides saw combat to be barbaric. No quarter is given. In a last chance of desperation a small recon team enters the flagship of the Atlesians to kill the Emperor and after a small fight only 2 surviving soldiers of the recon team manage to escape, no one knows what happened but after the Emperor issues a retreat order while his flagship is destroyed. Confused many stood and kept fighting while others retreated. After years of war and suffering many Atlesian wish to end the war, while some want to continue. The Atlesian Council is visited by the brother of the Emperor, before a civil war broke out. He claims the imperial title becoming Emperor Hajle. The Emperor then travels to Terra to meet with the leader of the Confederate Council to discuss peace. After a month, the Treaty of Vansol is signed which ends the war. The confederation reduces its military by 98%. Planets who wish to be independent or join the Atlesians are free to do so without repercussions. The pre war borders become the defacto borders with some changes. Many on both sides are relieved and feels betrayed.

### Post War Period

The post war years saw many on both sides tried for war crimes. Many planets were left devastated either through battle and occupation. The economy is in shambles. Many grudges were made. The Atlesians came out on top but many people have died. The war cost almost a billion of humans to die, 2% of the population. Eventually even the Empire begins to demobilize. Peace was very welcomed at least. The Empire saw its role in the wider galaxy more pronounced. The Atlesians even begin to rebuild Confederate planets, though dismayed they accepted as the Confederate economy is at an all time low. Eventually Emperor Hajle marries Commander Fillion and has children though they will not inherit the throne. The throne will be passed on to Emperor Nexus son when he comes of age.

Simone Joun, widow of the Atlantic Joun creates the Veterans of the Great Galactic War Association for both sides. The goal is to help find veterans inner peace, homes, jobs. The war left many scars. Simone Joun who is a hero from the Confederate side saw an opportunity to help. Many of her friends and husband died in the war. She was very instrumental to building peace between the two sides.

#### The Terran-Atlesian War 2591 - 2594 AD 371 - 373 EC

25 years after the great galactic war Hildon Davis a General who fought in the war is dissastified. He created the Republican Guard now Terra’s Fist which served as a private military to get revenge against the Atlesians. He succeeded in a coup d’etat which started the Confederate civil war. He eventually wins the war a few years later and forms the Terran Empire, a successor state of the Sol Confederation. Due to military build up and many planet annexations, Emperor Hajle warns the now Consul Davis about the breaking of the treaty. Consul Davis proclaims to be the leader of all humanity, he executes the delegates from the empire which starts the Terran War known to the Atlesians. To much of surprise the remaining Confederation fleet that survived joins the Atlesians along with surviving loyal planets to the Confederation. Emperor Hajle sends Crown Prince Alistair with a fleet to fight the Terrans.

Prince Alistair arrives at planet Reinhardt which was the capital of the Confederation during the civil war. The planet is occupied and immediately given relief. They found extermination camps for people who refused the new order. Once revealed to the galaxy everyone is shocked. As the Imperials continue into Terran space with a lack of resistance, many planets welcome the Atlesians. For the first time they are seen as liberators not conquerers. The “war” actually seen Atlesians offer aid to the confederation people. The following year in 2593 saw actual combat. The Atlesian forces once again reach the sol system. This time they are confronted by the Martian navy, which is larger than the Terran Navy. Though a tough battle the Atlesians won and head to Mars. Prince Alistair demands the surrender of the Martian government but is rejected. The siege last until the following year which saw a brutal fight on Mars. After many loses the Atlesians win, and Prince Alistair gives the order to dismantle the Martian Military-Industrial complex which reduces them to receive aid from other planets.

After the fall of Mars, the Atlesian forces surround Terra. Once loyal Hildon loyalist quickly betray Hildon Davis which results in his capture and swift execution. With his death the war quickly ends while small holdouts will last the next few years.
