Eugenics Wars

## The Eugenics Wars

The **Eugenics Wars** sometimes referred to as *World War V* on Espa, were a series of semi-global wars on the planet Espa which started in 2468 CC after the Toemyahang Uprising in Wei, and resulted in a 28 year long conflict between the Krenn and their Genetically enhanced Barachi counterparts.

It was the largest war by mobilized forces, at its conclusion in 2496 CC Espa was devastated and left many nations broken and nearly send the planet into a new dark ages.

## Prelude and the Toemyahang Coup

Weian Scientists in 2453 had cracked the Krenn’s genetic code, In secret the Weian government funded a genetic engineering project, the goal was to through selective breeding and genetic engineering, create an army of super soldiers to defend against the rising power in western Sona that was the Daravian Aru. Many Weians felt increasingly irrelevant on the international stage, and the government was thus pushed into a defensive position, in 2444 the first successful animal clone was created and by 2458 CC in secret the first Krenn had been cloned. The method was mostly perfected during the 2460’s using age accelerating drugs to make these augments reach adulthood in a shorter time scale. These augments became known by the name Barachi to their overseers, the Barachi were both mentally and physically superior to the average Krenn, their life expediencies were roughly 180 years, they were 2 meters tall, five times as strong as the Krenn and had superior senses and intelligence.

During the mid 2460’s the first Barachi units were equipped for military training. The Barachi however considered their overseers utterly inferior and once sufficient numbers of them had been created, an organized group of Barachi called the Toemyahang, revolted and took control the Weian Empire, to the outside world which until now had been completely unaware of the augmented Barachi watched in shock.

## Advance of the War

The Toemyahang wasted no time, they viewed themselves as the new rightful rulers of all of espa, and the regular krenn which they referred to as the Siuts, to be an outdated lower class beneath them. This declaration did not resonate well with the world governments which responded quickly to the threat. The First Krenin Council was assembled in Tashlal in Thermidor 2468, where world governments forged an alliance to put down the Barachi. The founding members of this Krenin Alliance were the Daravian Aru, the New Brezonian Commonwealth, the Ihanese Empire, the Kingdom of Amania and the United Provinces of Sentri.

The nations recognized that a Barachi takeover was a threat to the very survival of their species, since the Barachi lacked the manpower at that point to fight off a global alliance, the first an foremost goal was to destroy the Weian eugenic facilities, this was a desperation move as failure to destroy these facilities would mean certain defeat a few years down the line. The critical decision was taken to nuke these facilities, Sentri, the only Espan nation that had developed nukes till this point would deliver 773 nukes to a Ihanese space port from where the nukes would be dropped from high altitude upon the eugenic facilities.

On 5 Olomor 2469 CC in what became known as the Layment of the Barachi a total of 773 nuclear were dropped over western Wei, instantly vaporizing the eugenic facilities as the Toemyahang had not air defenses against such an attack, killing roughly 2 million unhatched Barachi alongside 24 million civilians, during the following years as many as 128 million deaths would be recorded directly or indirectly due to the bombings.

## The Wars

In response to the resistance Barachi infiltrators seized control of many nations in 2469 CC and sporadic fighting erupted across the entire planet, The Krenn were mercilessly beaten back by the superior Barachi, during the 2470’s the Krenin Alliance was mercilessly beaten back, the Ihanese and Brezonians had lost control of Coros and Daravia had been pushed back to Terinad by 2476 CC. The Krenin armies were little march to the superior tactics and strength of Barachi, and adopted an entirely defensive strategy.

Alliance armies would typically harass the Toemyahang armies rather than all out attack, since engaging the enemy was nearly always disastrous, scorched earth policies were employed and tactical retreats in the hope the Toemyahang would fight themselves to exhaustion.

It was an extremely costly strategy, by 2481 CC the Toemyahang were in control of two thirds of Espa, but with mounting casualties, unable to reproduce on their own the Barachi had limited numbers, and they could not restart the eugenics facilities, by the mid 2480’s the balance began to gradually shift into Alliance favour, the Krenn appeared to have outlasted their enemy. Slowly but gradually the Toemyahang began to be pushed back, and at the advance of the 2490’s the Toemyahang was in full retreat. Daravia invaded Aurul in 2487 CC and with the help of Brezonia expulsed the Toemyahang there, the same process was repeated in Trobon 2 years later. And in 2491 CC the Ihanese joined with the Brezonians successfully reaffirmed control over Coros.

While these overseas victories were crucial the Toemyahang remained strong on Vantamir, nevertheless the Daravian Army steamrolled east. For the barachi there were no ways to replenish their numbers and they had been fought to exhaustion, even in retreat they took heavy loses, by 2494 CC they had been singled out in Scanden and Wei, Toemyahang control began to collapse here too and by 2496 CC the Toemyahang had made their last stand, after Daravian landings in the Walta Sea Wei was overrun, and at the battle of Yoji the Toemyahang was finally defeated by the Daravian Army.

## Aftermath

Peace however did not return to Espa, the wars had devastated the planet to an unimaginable scale, entire populations had been bombed out of existence and in the place of the old order the 3 most dominant victors, the Daravian Aru, the New Brezonian Commonwealth and the Ihanese Empire formalized a relationship which now dominated the planet, the Espan Triumvirate was formed.
