Calamity: The Death of Earth Wiki

**Welcome to the Calamity: The Death of Earth Wiki!**
This will act as a writing hub for the Interstellar-themed worldbuilding project I am writing.

The plot? It is a geopolitical and history project taking place in the Milky Way galaxy.

## Summary

Humanity once lived on a planet called Earth in the Sol system. They branched out and created colonies on the Moon as well as Mars. However, in the late 21st century, the Earth fell into a depression due to climate change and the drain of resources, resulting in a World War in the 2070s that wiped out billions. Aliens known as the Shryke then invaded the newly-eradicated planet and made it a colony of their growing empire. They managed to invade via a dormant gateway.

Shryke rule wasn't kind to humanity. Slavery was a common practice within the Empire, and the need for labor resulted in the transportation of humans to neighboring worlds such as Mars, Centaurium in Alpha Centauri, Gussius in Sirius, and Boryan in Boryona. These practices gave rise to the Resistance on Earth, who launched a guerrilla war against the Shryke. As a direct result, the Shryke blew up Earth using a superweapon in the year 2114.

Eventually, the Shryke Empire broke apart. In the late 22nd and early 23rd centuries, various human worlds such as Mars and Centaurium launched rebellions, founding newly-independent nations seeking to guide humanity against these galactic terrors. The three most important of these nations were the Martian Federation, the United Centaurian Republic, and the Governate of Gussius. The latter collapsed into civil war, but the former two constantly fought over the dying carcass of humanity. It wasn't until the reign of Alexander Maqufe that a period of unity was ushered in for once. In November of 2291, the **Terran Empire** was founded.

The Terran Empire guided humanity across the stars for five centuries. Many wars were fought, and many emperors made a mark on humanity and the galaxy.

Fast forward to today, the year **2880**. The Terran Empire now exists in the form of an oligarchy, ruled by five emperors (Alexander X, Lucius VI, Neo, Stellaris III, and Lydia II). The main rival of the Terrans is the Elysian Federation, a human-dominated republic whose leader is President Julius Rogoran (a ruthless capitalist and militarist). Several other human states exist too, such as the Allied States and the Kingdom of Yeshalheim.

Several alien nations exist, too. Such examples include the Helegine Union (a Varian state from Norusant), the Sovereignty of Nehrum (a Kerman state from Kerma), the Ratoid Empire (an umbrella term for the nations that exist within Ratoid space), the Imperium of Du'Baryyk (a Herpa state from Arrok-Klan), the distant Shugg Swarm (a Shugg hivemind ruling from Clemmoth'Tal), and the various principalities that compose Shryke space, most notably Principality of Taihal from planet Tyhalrobah. Many more than this exist (see List of Nations in 2880).
