This is a list of all articles I've had fun writing, without too much mistakes, especially crucial in understanding this dumpster fire that's this story.

## META /// Canons

The new standard way of splitting this story.

* Canon: First Civil War, the split between the two main factions; IDS, and the Commandery - resulting in a bloody war amidst a fight for the survival of mankind in a shattered and burning Earth. After more than 40 years of war, the civil war ended in a Federal victory.
* Canon: Independence of New Dimsk, the story about the decade of independence of the flying city fortress, New Dimsk, and its gradual descent into chaos until its total destruction with no survivors, somewhere in North America.
* Canon: End Tales, the canon about the fall of Alexandria, the foundation of the Promethean Empire, and how a single event, the Second Apocalypse caused them both.
* Canon: Great War of 8021, the war that made the Known Worlds collapse.

## States

* Federated Briserian States, a federation based on the age old principle of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".
* Western Coalition, an informal union between Western nations to counter the new Briserian Federation.
* Solaris Bi-Republic, a human colony, created during the third millennium, and forgotten. It was discovered around mid-7500, and integrated as an independent state in the Briserian Federation.
* NCIZ Republic, a rogue state, created by inhabitants of the NCIZ, in attempt to combat piracy in the zone, and to create a safe and organized community.

## Organizations

* IDS, the infamous historical intelligence agency of Briseria. Numerous iterations exists.
* Commandery, what started as a faction inside the government, ended as an antagonist to the Briserian-kind.
* Universal Union and the United Galactic Federation, the failed attempts at uniting mankind once and for all. Collapsed on itself multiple times until the UGF finally succumbed. No nations officially resigned from the Federation until 8023, during the Great War.
* Milky Way Federation, Greater Milky Way Federation and the Commonwealth of the Milky Way Republic, the nations who holds dearly freedom and the most desired unification of mankind. Created after the collapse of the UGF. Until it looses focus of its original goal and became a crippling capitalist state.
* Free Zones Alliance, an alliance of rogue personnel of various nations who decided to leave and fight for freedom.
* Holy Briserian Empire, an Empire formed from the ashes of the The Duchy of Briseria. Extremely religious, the Empire used both conventional and unconventional ways of waging war against those who debilitated for so long religion.
* Stratocracy, a nationalistic, isolationist and Briserian supremacists who hold accountant the Prometheans for the sufferance of mankind since the Second Apocalypse.
* Colonial Defense Forces, the "template" for a complete military for colony governors. Within the jurisdiction of the state in which the colony is under control.

## Equipment and vehicles

* Strikecraft, a spacecraft developed by the Commandery, with prohibited technologies on-board which makes it near invincible and deadly.
* Meadow-class cruiser, a class of cruiser used very frequently, but very briefly. Evolved into the Halcyon-superclass.
* Halcyon-superclass, the template for cruisers, carriers, battleships, transport ships, etc..
* IDS VH, the iconic Briserian V/STOL. Variants, derivatives, and improved VH were used since the beginning. It was forgotten until the 8th millennium where its blueprints were discovered.
* OB-13-class cruiser, a classic Briserian cruiser. Used throughout history. Continues to be used in limited service and is one of the last remnants of the second iteration of IDS, from the Second Apocalypse.

## Events

* First Apocalypse, the beginning of the story. The event who shattered Earth, and ironically, saved mankind from certain death.
* Second Apocalypse, the true test of mankind. The beloved FTL technology no longer works, and the Briserian Republic from after the First Civil War, collapse.
* Great War of 8021, the religious fanaticism of the Empire, and the weakness suffered throughout the Known Worlds after the Collapse of 8020 created a fertile soil for the Empire.
* Collapse of 8024, the continuation and the fallout of the Great War of 8021. An organized cabal of colonial governors seeking to reinstitute the United Galactic Federation wrecks havoc in the Known Worlds, and destabilize all other states.

## Locations

* New Dimsk, a flying fortress built during the First Civil War, whose control went from Federal to Republican, to Federal again until it gained independence and left society. Its reappearance a decade following the end of the Civil War, with the remains of the city suggesting a crash after a bloody civil war. No survivors were found.
* NCIZ, the infamous Non-Controlled Inhabited Zone. A large patch of colonies and space stations without clear governmental presence. Home to the NCIZ Republic.
* Known Worlds, the common name for all charted colonies. As opposed to the Unknown Worlds, where it is theorized that mankind culturally evolved differently from the Briserian-Prometheans.
