### Epsilon-Combine War (1291-1289 BEW)

Three Reteran powers would emerge out of the cataclysmic battles of the Reteran Civil War. The Gemini Empire, weakened and held the central worlds of their civilization while the Corvanan Combine consolidated around Corvana and gathered many battle-lords to its banners and the elusive Epsilon Alliance. The Combine would take the greater portions in terms of planets and resources out of the three powers, rightly so as they held the largest military force and at the time had the most powerful means of war in the Cerberus Galaxy. The Gemini proved unable to compete with the Combine and Epsilon militarily, but was unable to be fully conquered due to the near-impervious defenses of the Geminids system that protected the cultural homeworld of all Reterans while the Epsilon spent considerable time gathering manpower and resources to challenge the Corvanan Combine. This chance came around 1291 BEW when Epsilon Fleets began crossing into Combine territory assailing border planets and laying a swat of destruction behind them.

The Epsilon-Combine War was a relatively quick war between the two powers largely because it would be decided at the battle of Malask and what happened afterwards. Malask was an important planetary system that provided dark matter, which was crucial for any Reteran fleet so it was no surprise that when it fell to the Epsilon invasion that the Combine would send Dela'core Falligus along with the pride of the fleet. Malask ultimately turned out to be a crippling Epsilon defeat, when hardened Combine veterancy turned the tide against the numerical advanced of Epsilon drones and otherwise secured Combine dominance in the Cerberus Galaxy all the way up to the turning days of the Cerberus Galactic Conflict

Once the Combine was secured in its hegemony of the Cerberus galaxy, it turned inward towards internal stabilization and progressive stagnation along all lines. While the Combine had the best warriors of the Reterans, they were without an enemy to face and preserve and while this realization did not have an immediate effect it did begin to crack the foundations of Corvana to its core. The Council of Corvana was created representing the strongest and wisest among the Corvanans which included Dela'core Falligus among its numbers.

The Epsilon Alliance retreated into isolation in its designated star systems, and kept out of greater events for the next 200 years. All attempts to enter Epsilon space was often met with hostile encounters with little to no information gained while the Gemini Empire was severely reduced and embroiled in its own decline.

## Federation Era (200-145 BEW)

### Federal-Enclave War (160-155 BEW)

After the conclusion of the Human Contact War, where the Federation of Colonial Expansion met and engaged the first intelligent alien lifeforms in the shape of the Retarans and then fought them to a standstill through human integrity and Retaran hesitation were they confronted with a terrible truth -- they were not alone in the Cerberus Galaxy. Before the conflict began, humans have long believed that they were the sole intelligent lifeforms and had arrogantly believed that the stars belonged only to them. This idealism was destroyed, but the manifest destiny of humanity could not be denied. The Retarans retreated from known space for a time, content in their observation of humanity while also dealing with internal crisis between their own factions leaving the humans to evolve, adapt and continue their outward expansions across star systems.

It was around this time that the Federation of Colonial Expansion was beginning to break down from the rapid expansion, unrest in the planetary governments and the hard reality that change was required in order to survive. The Enclave of Exploration soon supplemented the Federation of Colonial Expansion and installed a multi-systemic confederacy of star systems that fell under its influence while some resisted this change of hands by forming the more open-minded Federal Union based on Ra'dam.

Soon lines would be drawn through human space between Enclave and the Union, where both institutions began to differ in both philosophy and purposes with the Enclave scarred by the initial (and devastating) Contact war and resorted to mass industrial buildup to supply its growing milita defense forces and even began several long-standing ship-construction corporations that would become mainstream in the industry by the time of the Eternal War. The Federal Union was initially hesitate of making an answer to this blunt mobilization of resources by the Enclave due to several reasons, one of them being that they did not want to start another war over different beliefs nor did they want to bring yet more bloodshed. The decision was made post-haste after the Hypes Incident on the planet Hypean IV when Enclave Milita gunned down protesters after one militaman fired off his weapon into the crowd, and this was considered the beginning of the so-called Federal-Enclave War

## Unified Governments Era (17-0 BEW)

### The Interwar Period (17 BEW - Present)

#### Formation of the Unified Governments of the Republic

Following the conclusive end to the Colonial Wars, the then-Republic of Horizon expended substantially after defeating its primary rival the Orisa Empire and required an administrative restructure in order to accommodate the expansion. Dima Kurskov was elected as President of the reformed Unified Governments of the Republic that became the superpower and the acknowledged successor to the Ra'dam Federation. After the fall of Orisa Septim, the remaining Imperial holdouts were quick to surrender themselves to the overwhelming Republic forces that took strategic positions in the Orisa Empire and it was Dima Kurskov first order of business to reenstate the Orisa Conglomerate to resume its previous position as a sectorial government under the flag of the Unified Governments.

    The Unified Governments also managed to secure a ironclad pact with the Theron Protectorate, whom were able to become the interstellar economic powerhouse thanks to the Colonial Wars and with that in hand it could be said that human space has been truly united after almost two decades of ceaseless warfare.

The Unified Governments of the Republic had restored many worlds and assisted them in their recovery from the days of the Colonial Wars and even the Cerberus Galactic Conflict, while helping others become civilized and prosper under the UGR banner. The UGR offers much to the systems that join under their banner, commerce, power a voice and most importantly protection. Many of which have accepted furthering the strength of the UGR throughout human-controlled space.

However, despite the seemly utopia that the Unified Governments ushered in for humanity it was not without a heavy burden. The Cerberus Galactic Conflict and the substantial Colonial Wars had consequences, one of them being that the Orisa Empire continued to exist through its paramilitary resistance movement known as the Imperial March and faced resistance from Imperial Chapters that were beginning to organize themselves, and the UGR was also not capable of exerting its influence into the resource-rich frontier, leaving it for organizations such as the Typhon Trade Nexus to control independently of relegation and oversight. The third reason being that the UGR was not entirely benevolent, having all but abandoned the frontier and later on becoming totalitarian to some degree to ensure its power is not threatened - not by the Imperials nor by its allies alike.

    Contrary to the opinion that the Orisa Empire had been defeated, a plan was enacted by the venerated Alexander Romius to ensure its survival through his son. The Imperial March is a collection of high-ranking Imperial officials that demonstrated qualities that made them unique to the common man and were assigned, in one way or another to eventually serve under Bastion. The Imperial March is, by UGR standards a terrorist organization of Imperial loyalists while unaware of who is actually leading it to be the Son of Alexander Romius. The March is different from the Imperial Chapters in that the March acknowledges Bastion as the rightful heir to the Orisa Empire while the Chapters believe he is unworthy and inexperienced, preferring to fight the UGR on their own terms.

#### Status of Reteran Space

Outside of Human Space, the consequences of the galactic war was intesified. The Corvanan Combine had fought alongside Federation forces during the Cerberus Galactic Conflict, lead by the popular Dela'core Falligus and contributed much to the war effort. But once the Cybros Dominion arrived and defeated the allied forces, it allowed the Epsilon Alliance to take revenge on their rival and launched a surprise assault on Corvana, which coped with Cir Evo' battle fleet defeated and presumably killed Dela'core Falligus. The Epsilon then invaded Corvana and wiped out the Combine Council, taking control of the world and have since entrenched themselves in order to mine the resources of the world for their own goal.

It is rumored that a Combine Resistance Movement known as the Reclaimers is currently opposing the Epsilon Forces, but it is a losing fight due to the lack of heavy artillery and ships to effectively bring the fight to the Epsilon bases that remain shielded by their parent starship that protects it from high orbit.

The Gemini Empire has therefor remained inactive, long weakened from the Strife Wars and incapable of posing a true threat to the Epsilon. It is perhaps because of this that the Alliance began to annex Gemini territories, starting a border conflict with the Gemini that they can not win and this threatens the power balance that has kept the peace for a thousand years.

#### Status of Cybros Space

The Cybros were not in a favorable position in the Cerberus Galaxy, despite being victorious in the Cerberus Galactic Conflict and disabling human resistance for nearly two decades - the resulting interfighting between the Dominion and the Sovereignty has ruined their advantage. Queen Thayssa Jin and her separatists have waged a war of attrition against the more numeral Dominion forces, therefor being the sole fact that the humans were able to rebuild following the fall of Ra'dam. The Sovereignty has managed to starve off complete defeat for three reasons. The Dominion Forces in Cerberus were not organized effectively, having lost most of their commanders either at Iyo, Corvana or Ra'dama or were with Cir Evo, they were also cut off from the home galaxy and were therefor not receiving reinforcements and thirdly the Sovereignty knew the ins and outs of Dominion space and were capable of maximizing their hit-and-run attacks. The resulting Cybros Civil War would presumably play out into the Eternal War.
