Josminian Empire

The Josminian was a theocratic Viserak Imperial state. The Empire was also the first Adairin Viserak space faring nation (but not the first Viserak one in general) The Josminian Empire ruled through a strict religious government known as the Kippedean code. Those that did not follow the religion were had to choose between indentured servitude, mandatory life-time military service or death. The Josminian Empire was an early unlikely ally with the UTSE and the Kingdom of Iranan in their war against the Third Shrine Republic. The Empire was eventually replaced by the Adairin Viserak Systems in 12,358 HE after the Hemsway Revolution.

## History

The Josminian Empire was founded by Nortet Spheer after the conclusion of the 4th Adairion War when he and the Kuruhisyan Premaris: Jeddisth Ardenne allied together and used their common religious identity to unite the dissident Viserak states around the world and on the moon of Ramus. For the next seven years  The Josminians suppressed rebellions mostly by the other major religious factions, such as the Skolanders and the Mosists.

### The Grey Scarf Uprising

A popular uprising by the oppressed mosists during the early 12,100's. The Uprising pit Mosists against Josminians all over the Josmin system prior to "First contact" with the Demitrosone. The Uprising began with the martyrdom of Noran Hylux as he defied his Josminian master in the streets of Gormandyr. Hylux was captured and dipped in acid in an attempt by the local Josminian Morality police to subjugate the mosists. This action however caused a world-wide uprising, fed up with Jsominian oppression, former Steward of the 101030 Adairin Flotilla: Jasmir Khasmin fled with much of his fleet to the mosist majority lands of Orion, Monacan and Moxigua.

After 20 years of conflict throughout the Josmin system, the Josminian government was unable to fully subdue the rebels and was forced to engage in reforms, one of these reforms led to the beginning of the end for the Josminian Papalus, the relavance of the papalus would soon fade entirely and would become more of a figurehead position.

### Viserak invasion of Gearned

    By 12,150 HE The Josminian Empire had terraformed over 57 planets and 226 moons, with this their population and production power grew. With thousands of military ships and walkers at their command the Josminian Empire became a threat to many of the established powers, including the Demitrosone. The Demitrisone had declared a holy war on the Josminians as they saw them as infidels.

The Josminians initially had trouble fighting them but began to gain on them ending with the Demitrsone Holy Courts ending the war with a ceasefire call. However the Wubellian Empire who had been allied with the Demitrisone issued a small blockade over the small Viserak colony of Gearned, the Wubellians arrested the Viserak there and deported the back to Adairis. This action enraged the Viserak public who mobilzed their fighter squadrons (before they had capitol ships) and launched them at the Wubellian blockade.

The first attack was a total failure with 322 ships lost with onlly 3 Wubellian corvettes downed. However Jenzenon Taikor's plan was to attach combat walkers to the hulls of ground transport craft which helpd the Viserak retake Gearned and force the Wubellians to abandon their blockade.

### Josminian-Terran alliance

With the onset of the First Sector War and the Third Shrine Republic the Josminian Empire grew to prominence and allied with the Terrans of the United Terran Systems of Earth. to fight back against them. The TSR began the invasion of the Emeraldii sector in the 12,170's the Viserak were an unexpected obstacle for the Natogytts.

The Viserak were able to score victories against the TSR 3-1 throughout the Emeraldii sector alongside their Terran allies, this however changed the mindset of the Viserak who now saw themselves as superior to the "great Natogytt power" that they labeled as the Zaintar (Heretic) the Viserak victories granted them with millions of tons of Natogytt technology to reverse enegineer for their own benefit, what would follow is a golden age for the Josminian Empire.
