Terpinetine

Terpinetine was one of the most influential Nations of the Old Universe. Terpinetine saw the rise of CB, Vecnara, TYLO, TYSO, entered the New Universe, fought with TYMO, defeated TYSO, and brought a new age of peace.

## Terpinetine

### Taken down by

New Terpinetine Government

To be very clear, Terpinetine as a Nation should **not** be mistaken for **Terpinetine** as a company. Even thought the two have identical names, they hold vastly different amounts of power. **Terpinetine** as a nation was created when NESA was overthrown in 2209 A.D. This also happened during the CB conflicts of the early to mid 2220s and so the outcome of the war might determine if Terpinetine would stay or NESA would return. In favor of Terpinetine though, CB lost the war and **Terpinetine** cemented it's position as the new government.

## Mid 2200 to Mid 2300s

Many years later the Battle of Sterlay would prove the total defeat of CB and **Terpinetine** would go on to worry about other matters. Some new technologies in the following years were Independent-Fight Deployment [IFD] in 2260 A.D. which made using fighters much easier, and the Primis-Light Engine in 2274 A.D. making ships travel at twice the speed as before and making travel from the alien plant colonies to the inner colonies commonplace.

Through the 2300-2310s, many more colonies were established farther and farther into space and as more flocked to the stars, less and less stayed on Earth leading to the global population being less than 6 Billion for the first time in Centuries. Some of these Colonies declared their independence over the years and became their own Planet-Nations. This period has been known as the Great Terra Exodus.

In 2323 A.D. the first official trade and transportation routes to the outer colonies were established, creating more secure travel to the outskirts and making confidence in the colonies grow, which was very obviously good because now people wanted to travel there, creating larger populations in the colonies and a steady flow of commerce.

In 2326 A.D. the first recorded attack of Vecnara was made. They seemed to be at first a band of space pirates but soon were identified as a Successor to CB. To this day the many alien forces that plagued the Original universes are filled with mystery as nobody knows where they came from or how they made their armies so quickly. Soon enough though **Terpinetine** was at War once again and more fleets were erected to protect the Outer Colonies from this alien invasion. Some humans from either desperate colonies or twisted pirates started joining Vecnara in a hope to gain their approval and survive the invasion, assisting in the battles to come. It was clear this was a much bigger threat than CB.

## Mid 2300s to Mid 2400s

The following war with Vecnara was very far from over, yet **Terpinetine** fought with everything they had to try and combat the alien force. By 2350 A.D., even though hundreds of ships had been lost and tens of thousands had laid down their lives, barely any progress had been made to stop Vecnara’s eternal march of doom. Even through the 2360s fleet after fleet after fleet were shot down, captured, or went missing. The resources of the colonies began to run dry. There weren’t enough able people to man the huge vessels and metals to construct the large warships and soon anything that could fly had guns attached to it. Transport vessels, frigates, anything of size and speed was deemed worthy for the war effort.

Suddenly in 2372 A.D., news of a ship like no other was spotted by two stealth ships behind enemy lines. When this information was relayed back to the main Terpinetine Intelligence center, it was determined this must be the main ship. The stealth pilots also claimed the ship's course was set for the **Terpinetine** HQ on Mars. Many teams were sent in to try and stop the ship’s progression yet no progress was made for a while.

Even with many attempts of progress made, by 2380 A.D. the outer colonies were under complete control of Vecnara and around the several stations of Jupiter battles constantly took place, in desperate attempts to stop Vecnara from getting to the main planets of **Terpinetine**. To make things worse, the main ship the stealth pilots happened to spot many years before had finally entered the solar system. It was  the biggest ship ever made at the time. It was larger than the size of 8 **Terpinetine** cruisers and had a colossal cannon on the bottom, also more powerful than any technology at the time. It was able to destroy an entire ship with one blast and had mowed down detachments sent to stop it. The ship cleared through wave after wave of ships sent to stop it and hardly anything seemed to affect it. It would pass through Mars, sending down ships to subdue the cities there and take it under their control.
