History of Simetra

Simetra was not always as it is now. In the past millennia of its colonisation period, it has undergone many horrific wars, advances and changes. It holds dear to what information it has of what Earth was, but it may have misinterpreted its ideals.

## Great Voyage

The humans inhabiting Simetra today originated from their progenitor planet, Earth. They were sent on a 500-year voyage through space in the year 3250 using primitive FTL technology. During that time they had to jump from space system to space system through the thousands upon thousands of stars across the galaxy. Eventually, they arrived at a seemingly pre-terraformed world. Some believe the great voyage was devised as a failsafe for a failing society. Leaving Earth, most of the history and technology left to them for when they finished the journey was stored in great 'arks' aboard each colony ship. Unfortunately, some of these arks were faulty and did not survive the 500 years, and others were lost with what assumed to be ships of who's AIs accidentally steered them into other deep space planets or into the surface of Simetra, making them lost to time.

## Continental Developments

When the first colony ships landed, they transformed the ark ships into bases which would become the foundation of today's major cities. The ships were each equipped with their own portion of Earth's technology and culture which led each colony to grow and evolve differently. This is what caused the divide between the four major continents and their religions. During the first decades of the 100 year colonisation Simetra, the colonies respected one another, slowly forming together as minor states before each continent grew as their own union. Due to a lot of the information on the directive of the colonisation mission being lost, no continent knew who held a claim to the entire planet which led to lots of civil discourse. It was until the unification war that this would change.

## Unification

The Anguillans believed that they were the ones chosen by their Earth progenitors to be leaders of the new world. This presumption of course came from their own colony ship's data banks which were also in ruins. This was contested by the Borelian people as they believe that might was right, as they had read in one of their surviving documents. After lots of insults and talking, it is unknown who struck first, but a war had begun between the two.

One one side was the Anguillian Superstate composed of Anguilla mainly, and Moria who joined them due to their closely related goals on technology and engineering. On the other side was the Northern Federation, composed of Grovia and Borelia. It in thought that Grovia joined the Borelians due to wanting to preserve the natural environment with their help, seeing as if one faction got their way they would industrialise the world and destroy its ecosystems. Yahro at the time was neutral as they did not want either side to win. It eventually was won when the Grovians were fought back to one of their most sacred forests using chemical weapons; it was there were the nearly century-long war came to an end when the Northern Federation surrendered and signed a treaty to never again allow world war.
