Weeks later, a second attack – a raiding party consisting of a dozen fighters and Harvester ships. Despite the overwhelming defense force waiting for them, the Vanduul attack without hesitation.

Between 2681 – 2697
└─ Sporadic Vanduul attacks in Orion System. Imperator Illyana Messer VI reminds the populace why they need the Imperator’s protection during these attacks.

2684
└─ A GLIS Concorde flies out to aid the Orion system and scanning surrounding systems for hostile contact. Contact is lost after 3 hours. Attempts to reconnect are left unanswered.

Imperator Samuel Messer VII is more interested in using his newfound power to torment an already subjugated population into further submission than dealing with the Vanduul threat.

‎

28th century————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

└─ ArcCorp shifts focus from exploration to mining. The corporation finds success acquiring mineral rights to newly discovered planets.¹⁰²
└─ The personality of the Orion system changes. Armitage becomes a waystation for soldiers, mercs and pilots looking for a chance to test their mettle against this elusive enemy. Stores begin accepting Vanduul tech (and in the more extreme locations: Vanduul corpses) as trade to feed the growing bloodlust of the planet. Hunting parties are organized to go look for Vanduul prey.
└─ ArcCorp becomes involved with BCK, a massive terraforming conglomerate. ArcCorp has moved beyond mineral rights and is also dealing in planets for settlement. As terraforming falls out of favor, ArcCorp absorbs BCK and the massive corporate structure they had used to help shape the modern galaxy.

2701
└─ Astrid Messer VII, Imperator of the United Empire of Earth (UEE), is assassinated by agents of the previous imperator’s son, Samuel.

2712
February 16th
└─ 18:38 – One of the last civilian comms is sent from Armitage. Shortly thereafter, a Vanduul fleet invades the Orion system. The attack force is larger than anything the population has ever seen. Capital ship after capital ship appears in Orion and unleashed its devastating weapons on the locals. The Battle of Orion begins.¹⁰⁴
└─ The UEE Navy scrambles to mount a defense, but the carrier normally posted to the system has been tasked to Caliban to make an example of a growing political activist movement, leaving three destroyers and several frigates to handle the onslaught. The locals band together with the military while scouts race back to to alert the fleet.¹⁰⁴
└─ Battle lines fluctuate for three days on and around the planet of Armitage as support rushes in to help. Despite suffering heavy losses during the initial attack, the Navy begins to push the Vanduul back toward the jump point while Marines battle over every scrap of territory on the planet surface.¹⁰⁴
February 19th
└─ The UEE catches its first glimpse of what would become known as a Kingship. Nearly three thousand meters in length, the alien ship dwarfs all of the remaining Naval ships combined. The ships of Humanity’s front line, emboldened at the prospect of victory, are too close to avert their course and are decimated in the Kings¹⁰⁴hip’s first attack.
└─ What transpired after that has been historically described as a slaughter. The remaining Naval forces flee the system to Tiber in the hopes of creating some kind of barricade to stop the Vanduul advance. They abandon the people of Armitage to the Vanduul in the process.¹⁰⁴
└─ The Messers suffer their first decisive military defeat in over 150 years. News of this defeat and this unstoppable terror at the fringe of the universe terrifies the population who fearfully anticipate the next attack. The Vanduul have no interest in pursuit. The Kingship stays in the system for almost a year as they harvest what they need from the planets before the Clan disappears back into Vanduul space.

2712
└─ Caliban, Orion and Virgil fall into Vanduul reign.

2713 – 2863
└─ 150 years of refugee transports and supplying aid and staff, as well as protecting high risk travel routes and surrounding areas. A celebration is held across UEE systems, with the UEE High Admiral [redacted] mentioning that 97 million refugees have been safely extracted from the fallen systems.

2715 – 2788
└─ The military regime reaches a plateau. While the human populace has been somewhat beaten into submission, there’s a current of subversion in the culture. People are starting to see the cracks in the system. Activist groups launch attacks against the political/propaganda machine. The military is stretched thin, bracing for war with Xi’an, chasing down Vanduul raiders, and trying to maintain security on the human systems. The Imperator’s power is waning.

2717
└─ The Human company Armitage is founded by a group of survivors from the Battle of Orion

2757
└─ December 3rd – Anthony Tanaka’s famous refusal. The event is later commemorated by a statue in Levski, with Remembrance Day being established in his honor.

2785
└─ Pirates raid a large convoy of Kruger-made RSI parts leaving Magnus. The disruption to RSI’s supply chain puts one of Kruger’s key partnerships in jeopardy.⁸⁴

2789 peace accord
└─ In a daring act of defiance, peace is independently brokered with the young Xi’an Emperor Kray by Senator Terrence Akari of Terra, who refuses to fight open war on his doorstep. Terra blasts Earth for being imperialistic and short-sighted. Xi’an look at the situation as a potential way to create a divide in the Human Empire.
└─ May 29th – Senator Akari calls for an emergency session of the Senate to present the peace accord and orders an immediate vote, capitalizing on the Imperator’s recreational break in Goss. The vote passes.[citation needed]
└─ The Xi’an demonstrate their commitment to the agreement by withdrawing all military forces from Perry Line systems.[citation needed]
└─ Imperator Messer XI refuses to sign the peace accord.[citation needed]
└─ In a show of good faith, the UEE reduce their military footprint in Castra and, for the first time after two centuries of strict control, permit the public to move into the system, even re-purposing most of the military structures for public use.[citation needed]
└─ Kruger Intergalactic take the opportunity to relocate to Sherman, going back on their prior promise to remain on Borea.
‎
2790
└─ The death of Anthony Tanaka has begun to transform the dissenters among the public from mere activists to operational revolutionaries. Messer XI knows his time is limited unless he creates a strategic advantage, i.e. bigger and better guns. Sylvain Evans, a high-ranking member of the UEE military, enlists Juliet Maupin for a classified project to produce a new line of powerful and advanced combat systems for the Messer government. Evans provides Maupin with a high-tech lab and an able team in a non-descript building in Newcastle, Borea. To keep their work secret, the project is given the codename Genly Engineering Solutions in honor of Maupin’s young son. Building off the work she had done at Aegis, Maupin develops prototypes for a ballistic Gatling gun and a mass driver.¹¹⁰

2791
└─ Messer XI falsely accuses Ferron of being home to dissidents. Fearful of the Imperator, numerous wealthy Citizens and Messer loyalists flee the system, taking large amounts of funds and clout with them. When the eventual military strike comes, it is only thanks to the legendary bravery of the members of Squadron 78 and their heroic unwillingness to kill civilians that violence is avoided, but the economic and political damage to Ferron has already been done.⁴⁵

2792
└─ Anti-Messer activists began using Bremen as an operation hub to organize the overthrow of the regime. Revolutionary minded expats who had previously escaped to the Xi’an Empire were smuggled back to launch their conspiracy from Bremen.[citation needed]
└─ Terraforming of Garron II, a planet with pre-existing life.¹¹¹
└─ April 12th – Activist vid-footage of the Garron II aliens’ rational behavior is leaked to the Spectrum.⁸⁰
└─ April 27th – The Massacre of Garron II – Thousands of protestors on Vale are gunned down. However, news of this atrocity doesn’t spread immediately.
└─ The military pick up the “Genly Engineering Solutions” prototype weapons with the intention of shipping them to Kilian for testing. Footage of the Massacre of Garron II leaks to the public and the entire UEE military is mobilized to quell the rebellion. In the ensuing chaos, the crate containing the prototype weapons is offloaded into a warehouse on Cestulus where it remains for a hundred years.¹¹⁰
└─ May 3rd – The people rise up and overthrow of the government. Analysts have concluded that it was through Xi’an influence that the revolution and subsequent overthrow of Imperator Messer XI was able to succeed. The Messer Era ends. Erin Toi of Earth becomes the new Imperator and promises an age of enlightenment and social consciousness.[citation needed]

After 2792, May 3
└─ Imperator Erin Toi reinstates the Tribunal system to provide a check on the Imperator’s power.
└─ The position of Ambassador to the Xi’an Empire is offered to Senator Akari. He turns it down to focus on rebuilding the UEE. After an extensive search, Imperator Toi selects Ramon Coen for the position.
└─ Imperator Toi attempts to open diplomatic relations with the Vanduul. The efforts are met only with hostility.
└─ Most of Aegis Dynamics’ military contracts are stripped

2793
└─ Imperator Toi meets with Senator Marshall Leon to ask him to help repair Humanity’s interspecies relationships by accepting the position of Diplomatic Secretary. Secretary Leon immediately schedules meetings with Xi’an and Banu diplomats. Leon acknowledges that the repair of relationships will take time, delicacy and — most importantly — trust, but also knows that his words and promises, or even those of the Imperator, will not be enough to mend the damage done. Only a bold act of diplomacy and peace can convince the entire universe that Humanity has truly changed its ways.
└─ Imperator Toi meets with Emperor Kray in the Kayfa System. Kray leads Toi on a personal tour of Tovaroh and clips a branch of a Centennial Bloom plant for her to take home. Kray also elucidates a core doctrine of Li’Tova; that one small action can affect the entire universe. During the summit, Emperor Kray amends Xi’an law to permit the Kayfa System to remain open to all Human visitors in the hopes that it will promote interest in Xi’an culture, customs and, ultimately, long-lasting peace between the two species. The Perry Line Pact is ratified and signed by both the UEE and the Xi’an Empire, officially bringing to end the cold war and birthing a new diplomatic era between both factions, one that has stayed strong through today. Armistice Day, which is celebrated on May 29 each year, was established to recognise the occasion.¹¹²
└─ Introduction of the Government Modernization Act, a proposal to move the UEE capital from Earth to Terra. The bill fails by just three votes.

2794
└─ Secretary Leon’s initial speech before the Senate regarding The Ark project. A bill is put forth that requests funds to construct an orbital platform with the dream that it will not be bound to any one location, species or government. It will travel between the systems of all species to promote and share universal knowledge while also providing a neutral, safe space for diplomatic discussions. The Senate overwhelmingly approve of the Ark. Construction is slated to start in late 2794 once a suitable location is chosen. A myriad of Senators, interested in the accompanying economic bump, campaign to have it built in their system, but Secretary Leon wants to keep the Ark apolitical. So, in a surprise move, he choses to have it built in Tayac; a system with no native population or representation in the Senate. A system long deemed off-limits to the public during the Messer era.

2795
└─ Construction on the ARK begins and progresses more slowly than anticipated. Disassembling the weaponized components proves to be more expensive and time-sensitive than expected, incurring major delays for the project.
└─ The Fair Chance Act is ratified, decreeing that is a capital crime to attempt to terraform planets with developing creatures. These planets are to be left alone to give the species a chance to advance/evolve.

Between 2792, 2799
└─ Anvil Aerospace U4A-3 Terrapin-class Scanning/Exploration Ship is developed to serve as the first ship in the Empire’s defensive restructuring of the Navy. The Aegis Dynamics Avenger begins its life serving dutifully as the premiere front-line carrier plane.

2799
└─ Origin Jumpworks are now neck and neck with RSI for gross profits in the manufactured spacecraft field.
└─ Incorporation of Crusader Industries after August Dunlow acquires a majority stake in the shuttle manufacturer Seraphim Systems and rebrands it.¹¹³

2800
└─ Secretary Leon wins a contentious election to become the next Imperator. Encouraged to run and endorsed by Erin Toi, Secretary Leon highlights his work on the Ark during his campaign, claiming it proves he is a consensus builder who can also repair Humanity’s relationship with other species. Shortly after his inauguration, construction on the Ark is completed. Imperator Leon invites representatives from the Xi’an, Banu, Tevarin and even the Vanduul to attend the gala celebration. During his introductory speech, Imperator Leon appeals for everyone to help the Ark succeed in spreading peace and knowledge.
