Space and time take their shape, along with other laws of physics. Quarks, electrons, photons and neutrinos are the first particles to form, soon followed by protons and neutrons that then come together to form the nuclei of basic elements - hydrogen and helium. -22499250000: The Universe gradually cools. Electrons are able to combine with hydrogen and helium nuclei. Photons no longer scatter, but rush outward. -21000000000: Gravity begins pulling the gas of the rapidly expanding Universe together, forming voids and dense areas. Eventually the first stars are formed in the areas with more density, in turn forming the first galaxies. -19360000000: The white dwarfs that will eventually end up in the globular cluster M4 form, the remains of former red giants. -18000000000: Smaller galaxies merge into larger ones, forming the first elliptical galaxies. These cataclysmic galactic collisions often form humongous black holes. The materials they consume glow with intense energies before their demise, creating the phenomena known as quasars. -13500000000: The first main sequence generation of stars starts to die, flaring up in huge supernova explosions that spread the elements forged in the hydrogen fires of the stars to spread throughout the galaxies. These include the common elements such as oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, calcium and iron, and heavier elements like gold, silver, lead and uranium. -9450000000: The Universe starts expanding at an accelerating pace due to the peculiar anti-gravity effect of 'dark energy'. -8500000000: The First Star, in actuality a second-generation sun, forms. -1600000000: Orbeus star cluster takes its shape, absorbing with it the First Star. -1000000000: The planet Orceron forms, along with other planets orbiting the First Star. -840000000: A large planetoid hits Orceron - as a result the environment changes radically, the orcs and the Hemmoians start to evolve and the rings of Orceron are formed. -11000: Ancient Orcs roam the face of Orceron, apparently evolved from a long-since extinct reptilian-like species. The Orcs live in tribes, hunting and scavenging for food and squabbling with enemy tribes. The tribes turn into clans in the future, but the basic orcish small community life remains as a backbone of their culture for thousands of years. -10000: Orcs invent their first tools and learn to use fire around this time. -8507: First ground-based Hemmoians, still mushroom-like in appearance, rise from the Great Sea and start their lives anew on the ground. However, this new race of Hemmoians only inhabit several island clusters in the middle of the Great Sea, thus never coming in contact with the Orcs. The Hemmoians lead a life of meditation and continuously seek mental enlightment. This basic ideal of self- perfection is visible even in the Hemmoians of today. -8580: Around this time The Great SID, an ancient Hemmoian, writes his prophecies. -7590: Harmajaisen Ukko, an ancient Hemmoian, is born. -7586: According to the old manuscripts, Harmajaisen Ukko is "traveling the seas" at this time. -7515: The ancient hemmoian house Tuomela is formed. -7458: The ancient hemmoian house Järvelä is formed. -7420: The Tuomela Boys are born. -4302: A series of conflicts known as The Hemmo Wars take place between ancient Hemmoian nations. -2100: Ancient Hemmoian astronomers first theorize the Andromeda Galaxy, known to them as "the Clay Disk", is a very large, disk-shaped object beyond the stars. Of course, its true nature remains unknown to them. <h3><font face="Verdana">The First Age.</font></h3> 1: And so it begins... The so-called Pre-Orcish Age begins as the first inter-clan agreement is made. Basic borders are drawn on a planetary map and different clans are given different territories. 1000: Exactly 1000 years since the beginning of the First Age. 1200: The first "personal projectile weapons" are made. They are mostly single-shot rifles which use pressured gases to launch bullets and other projectiles at the enemy. 1293: First railways built, first trains invented in the clan CCLätälo region. 1310: Orc and Son's Railways founded in the clan CCLätälo region.

SevenTec Industries suffers a lot when the Launch Tubes prove to be more efficient as their own propulsion system. 2612: A volcano erupts suddenly near the Great Deserts of Orceron. 2613: A grand-scale shoot-out occurs at a vehicle repairing facility. 2617: SevenTec Industries goes bankrupt. 2630: Orc & Son's Railway Corporation finishes building the longest railway system on Orceron. It connects the two command centers, located on different sides of the planet. During the huge celebration, a terrorist tries to bomb the railway, but is stopped by the orcish police units. 2651: Reflector Shields are invented. These energy fields have the capacity to reflect energy attacks away from the field, acting like an energy mirror. 2701: Laser gunfights between the orcish clans are a commonplace. Civil unrest on the streets around the planet. 2702: The "Tower of Paapel" type of building, a highly disorganized, anti-functionalistic skyscraper, becomes intensely popular among Orcish architects. 2759: The Orcish Space Can, an advanced space station, is launched into the orbit of Orceron. 3000: Exactly 3000 years since the beginning of the First Age. 3121: Orcish Space Ship Service Incorporated (OCSS Inc.) formed after a merger of several personal ship service companies. 3420: First Contact with a race called the V'smas on the outskirts of the First Star system. Some of the orc clans dislike the V'sma presence and declare a guerilla war of sorts against them. 3458: The war against the V'smas ends and a great era of peace begins. 3599: Reportteri Ruttunen is born. 3622: Reportteri Ruttunen gets a job from the Orceron Broadcasting Company. 3631: The v'smas give some of their advanced technology to the Orcish Community. 3632: UOAF is formed -> first planet-wide military force. 3635: First Magneto Gravity Distortion (MGD) vehicle prototypes are made. 3638: More is learned from the mystical Energy. At the same time, large research in the field of teleporting commences. 3639: The Orcish Community government establishes a large jump gate in the orbit of Orceron. Reportteri Ruttunen is upgraded to Reportteri Ruttunen Super. 3640: With teleports, a colony is constructed to the planet Horius in the First Star system. 3652: Galaxy VZ-782, one of the oldest and most distant objects in the Universe, is discovered by Orcish astronomers in an orbital observatory. 3660: Orceron Security Zones established in the orbit of Orceron. They are a series of satellites and orbital stations constantly observing the space surrounding Orceron, for both domestic and foreign illegal activity. 3700: The good people of the Horius Colony find out that teleporting is not good for your body - the hard way. Thousands of people get disintegrated due to long-term side effects of the teleportings done 60 years ago. Teleport devices outlawed by the Orcish Community. With the original colonists gone, Ho'kans relocate from Orceron's rings to the Horius colony. Horius becomes a base of operations for the Ho'kan aggressors. 3811: The Poor and the Pitiful, a soap opera mixed with elements of real opera, loud grunts and angry shouts, is commissioned by the Orceronian Broadcast Company and is produced for the next 50 years straight. 3830: Ovaap Resrek born. 3854: Dosse Töljönen born. 3858: Ovaap Resrek goes to Hemmo Academy and gets a job to supervise automated MGD transports. 3859: Dolek Bios born. 3860: V'smas leave the orcish system, and no-one has heard from them since. 3861: Ho'kans realize that now is the perfect change to destroy their enemies and launch a battleship to Orceron, equipped with the first known planet killer weapon. 05.08.61, 13.15: The Ho'kan battleship enters the First Security Zone of Orceron and destroys the defensive outposts there. 05.08.61, 14.01: Oristenom Imahak, an orcish intelligence officer, gets the report from Security Zone I and goes to the Capitol to tell Northern Hemisphere Operations about this horrendous fact. 05.08.61, 16.04: Oristenom Imahak enters the Capitol and goes to the Hemmo Academy where the Northern Hemisphere Operations are located. Ovaap Resrek's shift has ended and he pilots his public MGD transport to the hangar of Hemmo Academy. 05.08.61, 16.34: Ovaap Resrek is preparing to enter sleep mode in his quarters when he is ordered to do another shift. 05.08.61, 16.36: As Ovaap leaves Hemmo Academy, the media goes in. They have heard rumors that something strange is going on in the UO command centers. Oristenom Imahak enters the Northern Hemisphere Operations of the HA and gives the latest information to the Commander of the Hemmo Academy. The NHO is shocked about these events, and begin planning a reason for planet-wide evacuation without causing hystery and panic. 05.08.61, 16.38: A Capitol-wide broadcast is done by Northern Hemisphere Operations, telling the population to head for the nearest transport station as soon as possible. No reasons for this are given. 05.08.61, 16.40: Ovaap Resrek follows the media broadcast from Hemmo Academy as the MGD transport approaches the pre-set destination. A lightning bolt hits Ovaap's transport, re- booting the system, and Ovaap's connection fails. Ovaap lands at the station and passengers enter his transport. As Ovaap gives the order to head back to Hemmo Academy, the transport overrides the pre-set coordinates and heads for the Central Square of the Capitol City. 05.08.61, 16.57: Ovaap Resrek's transport arrives at the Central Square, where a huge amount of population has gathered. There, some NHO Operatives coordinate the evacuation of the Capitol. Ovaap is ordered to bring his passengers to the Capitol spaceport and head back to the Hemmo Academy. 05.08.61, 16.69: Information concerning the reasons behind the evacuation leak to the public. Chaos follows as everyone tries to enter the spaceports at once. In the Capitol, thousands get wounded in riots. 05.08.61, 16.73: NHO receives information about the info leak. The NHO Commander is furious. 05.08.61, 16.78: The Ho'kan battleship enters the atmosphere of Orceron in the Great Desert, near Moisture Farm 5, and drops the Planet Killer Bomb. A huge shockwave starts ripping the planet apart. 05.08.61, 16.85: Southern Hemisphere Operations is destroyed and the king of the United Orcs heads for the Hemmo Academy to rendezvous with the queen of the UO. The thunder storm that had hovered over the Capitol for days gets worse and blackouts are experienced throughout the city. Liquid crystal lanes get out of control. 05.08.61, 16.88: Ovaap Resrek arrives at the Hemmo Academy hangars. 05.08.61, 16.92: A quarter of Orceron is already destroyed by the huge shockwave. 05.08.61, 17.10: The Commander of NHO and several other officers, along with the king and queen of UO, head for the launching tubes of the Hemmo Academy. 05.08.61, 17.22: Ovaap Resrek pilots the escape ship in Launching Bay 7. The surviving members of the NHO enter the vessel and it is launched. The Queen and some other Hemmo Academy employees get into the escape ship in Launching Bay 6 and launch the ship. The King gets into the escape ship in Launching Bay 6 and launches the ship. Of the three last escaping vessels, only Ovaap’s survive. The Queen’s ship crashes inside the launching tube and the King’s ship disappears when it tries to jump into inter-stellar space. The King is never found. 05.08.61, 17.28: As the shockwave approaches the Hemmo Academy, Intelligence Officer Imahak heads for the sub-terran levels where the heat-proof mining vessels are stored. He seals himself inside one of them, but the heat eventually fries him and the mining vessel is destroyed. The Great Destruction of Orceron is completed. Most of the Hemmoians and orcs die, but some get away with government population transports and personal vessels. 3862: The remaining orcish and hemmoian ships officially form the Home Fleet -> The First Space Age begins. United Orcish StarFleet (UOSF) is formed from the few warships that still remain. Its primary mission is to protect the Home Fleet. 3865: The NODE ships are constructed on one of the Home Fleet’s carrier ships. The NODE fleet is formed, with NODE-1 as their flagship. Its mission is to find a habitable planet for the United Orcs. The Fleet is commanded by CCRtllo o CCLätälo the Eighth. 3907: NODE discovers the planet Aldaain, in Orbeus-6 system, which would make a fine new homeworld for the United Orcs if terraformed properly. A probe is sent to check the planet out. 3909: The probe discovers many things about the planet, including that it is very cold. Everyone in UO tries to figure a way to warm the planet up. Finally, scientists agree that the best way to warm the planet up is to release certain chemicals to the atmosphere which would create a massive greenhouse effect. "Temperature Controllers" are designed to release the chemical in the right amounts and later on disabling them to avoid overheating. 3911: First ship arrives in the Orbeus-6-system, piloted by Dolek Bios. During its landing on Aldaain, the mainframe computer aboard the ship detects another homing beacon signal, not coming from the orcish probe they were tracking. A biosphere colony is established on Aldaain. It is running with mininum power and life support, since only the pilots and scientists of the first ship are inhabiting it. An expedition is sent to the source of the alien homing beacon. They find a strange war machine of an alien design, deep inside a wall of ice. It is instantly classified top secret and is transported to one of the ships in the Home Fleet. 3912: First colony ship arrives in the Orbeus-6 system. Ovaap Resrek dies in an accident on Aldaain and is cryo-freezed for further treatment. 3913: First actual Temperature Controllers are constructed. The terraforming of Aldaain begins. The colony’s comm systems begin receiving transmissions of unknown origin from the last planet in the Orbeus-6 system. 3914: A ship is sent to investigate the unknown transmissions -> First contact to ollapukkitians. At the end of the year, ollapukkitians join the United Orcs. 3915: Five more biosphere colonies are constructed. The red-bereted "Orc Patrol" is formed to act as a planetary police force. 3916: Aldaain Centrum is designed. At this time, most of the Home Fleet is in the Orbeus-6 system. The blue-bereted "Special Forces" are formed to act as an inter-planetary police force. The blue berets go through several transformations over the times, and the Inter- Planetary Security Forces of today are actually based on the blue beret Special Forces. Engineers start constructing Aldaain Centrum couple of kilometers from the first biosphere colony. 3920: Aldaain Centrum is finished. Most of the population moves to Aldaain Centrum and the Home Fleet’s population transports are mostly empty. 3921: The New Hemmo Academy, identical to the old one, is constructed. In the opening ceremony, the government declares that the First Age has ended and that the Second Age has come. <h3><font face="Verdana">The Second Age.</font></h3> 1: The Second Age begins. 5: Aljak Hiks born. 8: UOAF is reconstructed. Several military bases are established on Aldaain. 12: With the terraforming of Aldaain in full swing, an entire ocean of molten ice has formed on the southern hemisphere of the planet. 45: An outpost is built on Frigia, moon of Aldaain. It mostly serves as an observatory, but the rumor is that the military uses it for storage purposes. 54: The atmosphere of Aldaain has warmed up to the point where its two continents have emerged entirely from their coating of ice. Some smaller "ice continents" still remain in the connecting ocean, but are quickly dissipating. 79: Exactly 4000 years since the beginning of the First Age. 86: Aljak Hiks is transferred to the UOAF Weapon Research Division. 88: Almost all ice has disappeared from the surface of Aldaain. Some rafts remain on the coastlines and the polar regions are still frozen. At this point, several of the cities of Aldaain are already visible from space, even during the day. 90: Conversion of Aldaain's atmosphere to desirable temperature levels nears completion. 95: Aljak Hiks designs and constructs some new heavy projectile weapons as an option to heavy energy weapons. 99: SMOY Corporation is formed in an abandoned laboratory. 122: Amiov-I force fields are invented by UOSF R&D Division. 125: Aljak Hiks is promoted to a general. 130: Several colonyships are sent out to other systems, including Ministero-system. 133: The colonyship Primax arrives at Ministero system and a colony is established. 138: Ondo of the clan Boead is born on the Ministero colony. 140: Rapid growth of the SMOY Corporation. 142: DBS Aerospace is formed. 150: DBS Aerospace designs in designs the S-532 tanks in association with the UO government and the military. 168: UOAF begins using S-532 tanks as the backbone of their ground forces. 179: V3 War begins as the old enemies of the United Orcs gather up for a final showdown. 180: Defence Station E-10 is designed, constructed and launched to orbit. 181: UOSF Iso Möykky is destroyed by the V3 forces. It becomes the first great loss for the United Orcs. 183: UOSF Blah Yo is constructed. It is supposed to be the first of a whole new type of ships, but it is useless against the V3 forces and their superior technology. 184: First Contact with the v'romos by a group of UOSF patrolships mapping the systems surrounding the Orbeus Cluster. 185: O.R.C, the "Orcish Resistance Center" station is made to act as a last line of defence for Aldaain, and also to repel hit- and-run attacks. V'romos join the United Orcs and agree to help in the war against the V3. 189: Ondo Boead bravely defends the Ministero PT-colony against V3 ground attacks. 206: A cloaking device is stolen from one of the V3 research colonies, with great losses to the United Orcs. 207: The United Orcs steal a cloning device from the V3 and start cloning their outnumbered troopers. After the war, this causes a major overpopulation problem. The government learns that the V3 are building another planet killer to be used against Aldaain. 208: UOSF Noomoc is sent to the research facility where the V3 planet killer beam is constructed. A whole attack fleet of V3 ships decloaks and destroys the ship -> First known Cloaking Devices. 209: The V3 Doomsday Fleet is launched from their shipyards. CCSöosd o CCKiidyplsiåimlo the Twelfth, an orcish military genius, is called to Aldaain Centrum to plan a last, desperate strike against the V3 main fleet, equipped with the Planet Killer Beam. He and the government of the UO come up with a plan to install the stolen cloaking device on one of the best v'romo ships, known as Worm Explorer, which could infiltrate the V3 doomsday fleet and then do a surprise attack to the command ships, thus disabling most of the fleet so that the outnumbered UOSF could destroy them. Several v'romos and a legendary orcish pilot, Audom of the clan Alapaavo are assigned to operate the ship. The plan is a success, as the ships of the Doomsday Fleet are either destroyed or disabled over Aldaain. 210: The United Orcs, by studying the computer systems on board the disabled V3 command ship, learn the location of the V3 leaders. UOSF launches a massive attack to the main base where the leaders are located and the base is defeated easily, since most of the ships guarding it had went to Aldaain with the Doomsday Fleet. Without their leaders, the V3 gradually die out. Some independent factions remain, but they are quickly wiped out when they try to terrorize the United Orcs. The V3 War is officially over. UOAF is closed down as it has become unnecessary to the UO. S-532-tanks are removed from active duty. 215: DBS Aerospace develops the KIE Fighters. 220: O.R.C II Station is constructed to defend Aldaain. 226: First attempts to form a computerized Collective network fail. 227: Ovaap Resrek’s cryosleep sequence ends. He is implanted with a computer implant. He becomes Ovaap 2 Resrek. 228: Orbital Gateway Portals are constructed in Aldaain’s orbit. They utilize a whole new way of transportation, allowing ships to travel to "distant" star systems in a period of weeks. This speeds up the UO colonization of outer space heavily. 229: First ship enters Reel system. Reel 5 colonized. It soon becomes a medium sized colony, popular for its fabric and clothing industry and a very high number of orcs. 231: Aimusrew G5 Weeter discovers the smallish moon of Reel 3 and names it after himself. 236: First ship enters Rilet System through the Northern Hemisphere Orbital Gateway Portal. Rilet-II and Rilet-III are colonized almost immediately. Rilet becomes one of the UO’s first major colonies. 238: Arnasuk Baasegnar born. 244: First ship enters Tooled Hemmo system through the Southern Hemisphere Orbital Gateway Portal. Because of extreme conditions on all planets of Tooled Hemmo system, colonization and terraforming takes more time than usual. 248: At this point, a large portion of the northern continent of Aldaain is already covered entirely by a vast megalopolis, and several other cities have grown into huge islands of urban construction visible from orbit. 284: Arnasuk Baasegnar goes through the Hemmo Academy and gets best grades. 290: First real Riletian Hemmoian, also known as "Type IV" is born. 399: "The New Rebel Alliance" is formed in Reel system. It is a small terrorist group that believes the Hemmoians are trying to take over the UO government. 412: For reasons unknown, the Orbital Gateways experience a massive energy fluctuation and explode, sending huge amounts of EMPs down to Aldaain and destroying most satellite and sub-space communication relays -> The Great Chaos begins. As the infrastructure falls, anarchy spreads through the planet. The peaceful lives of the citizens of Aldaain turn into a battle for survival. With no government or police forces small gangs form, which fight for the last working bits of technology. Due to the communication breakdown, all hemmoian colonies are separated from their homeworld. One of the newly-formed-ones even dies out completely due to lack of supplies. A small-scale civil war breaks out in the Reel-5 colony. The local colonial security try to keep the peace while the anti-hemmoian factions try to sabotage their ships and bases. However, the New Rebel Alliance itself does not make a public appearance. 413: The government of the Rilet System declares independence, thinking that Aldaain is either destroyed in a natural catastrophe or attacked and occupied by an enemy force. Aimusrew G5 Weeter dies in one of the sabotage attempts on Reel-5. As the local government of Ollapukkiti Prime discovers the true reasons behind the communication breakdown of Aldaain they send some ships to Aldaain to help. But as soon as they land one of the Northern Hemisphere’s gangs attack the defenseless ships, stripping them from their technology and killing their crew. 414: More ollapukkitian ships arrive at Aldaain. Most of them stay in orbit, but some attempt landing, armed this time. With the radar technology from the other ollapukkitian ships, the same gang detects the landing attempt and with their customized weapons of mass destruction, they take the new ships down. Lack of fuel keeps the gang from using the ships for inter- planetary travel, but they are able to terrorize Aldaain’s aerospace for some time. Some orc clans form the Coalition of Clans once again to fight against the disorder created by the raging gangs. 415: Two other gangs temporarily form an alliance to get rid of the gang with the modified ollapukkitian assault vessels. With heavy losses to all sides, the ollapukkitian ships are destroyed, but the gang which owned them survives. 434: With help from the ollapukkitians, the UO government (or what’s left of it) is re-established on Aldaain, and begins to neutralize the gangs. The United Orcs celebrate their first victory at the end of the year after destroying one gang’s base of operations. 435: A team of UOSF engineers gets one of the orbital shipyards back online. As soon as enough construction material is gathered, UOSF builds the first ship for years, the UOSF HemmoCruiser. It uses a new type of jump drive, and it is supposed to unite the colonies once again and keep up the peace. The Coalition of Clans acknowledges the UO government as their rulers, but continues to act alone in the fight against the gangers. 436: UOSF sends a scout ship to Frigia, moon of Aldaain, and discovers some very high technology unharmed by the explosion of the Gateway Portals. With this new technology the United Orcs outpower several gangs and gain some easy victories. UOSF HemmoCruiser is launched from space dock, but as soon as it performs a jump all communication links fail and the ship disappears to jump space. This demotivates everyone in the UOSF and UO government for months. 437: Right after new year: UOSF engineers start to design HemmoCruiser II. 438: UOSF HemmoCruiser IIa and UOSF HemmoCruiser IIb are constructed to do what HemmoCruiser I had failed to. Only HCIIa is sent out first to make sure that the jump drive is secure. HCIIa’s maiden voyage to Ollapukkit Prime goes well, and it performs a long-range jump, setting course to V’romo Homeworld. During the trip, internal security finds out that some of the passengers are actually spies from one of the remaining gangs. Paranoia strikes the crew as the spies perform sabotage attempts and kill some crew members. Several fist-fights break out in the ship. Over twenty crewmembers are arrested as spies. 439: Firefights in the engineering deck of UOSF HemmoCruiser IIa rupture some life support systems and the primary propulsion unit. The ship enters normal space and drifts for months. Fighting continues inside the ship. After six months, the ship enters the boundaries of Ytinret I system and finally the gravity well of one of the uncharted desert planets in that system. UOSF HemmoCruiser IIb crashlands to the planet of Ytinret I-III. 480: Arnasuk Baasegnar develops the Amiov-II shielding system. 496: Amiov-I shielding systems are removed from military use and are replaced with the newly designed Amiov IIs. Arnasuk Baasegnar begins his work in the High Council of the United Orcs as a scientific councilor. He is also the Head of the Research and Development Department of the United Orcs Armed Forces. 499: Last of the gangs are wiped on Aldaain. It is rumored that some of them have formed a deep space outpost on some asteroid belt, but rumors are just rumors. In the Celebration of Thinkers the UO government declares the past decades the "Great Chaos", and state that it has ended. 500: The sub-space comm nodes are finally re-established and the communication breakdown to the UO’s colonies end. All colonies are glad to hear that the homeworld is okay, but some citizens would like to remain independent. However, only Rilet system ends up holding to its independence. 521: The O.R.C Defense Station is removed from Aldaain’s orbit and is later recycled. 566: Kl'zek De-root is born on Tooled Hemmo II. 597: Kl'zek De-root begins his service in the UOSF. He also goes through the Blue Beret Special Forces boot camp. 622: UOSF engineers along with riletian scientists create the massive, cube-shaped Ion Storm class hulls. They are used for data storage and as deep space colonies. 627: The New Rebel Alliance, after hiding in the shadows for decades, finally makes its first public appearance by planting a bomb on one of the UO command centers. Also, around these times the NRA already had spies or collaborators in the UO government. 630: Pertti of the Clan Berserk hijacks one of the Ion Storm class ships and becomes an outlaw. UO authorities suspect that the Berserk Clan supports Pertti, but no evidence of this is found. 634: The Clan Berserk constructs a deep-space station, the "Berserk Station". Little do the authorities know that 1) Pertti is stationed aboard the station and 2) the station is made of the hijacked Ion Storm-class vessel. 635: The NRA performs another bomb strike, larger and more organized this time. Over 20 hemmoian politicians die and 32 are wounded when a plasma bomb goes off in an office building at Aldaain Centrum. 842: Unknown ships jump to Orbeus-6 system at a very high velocity. Without entering standard orbit, the ships plunge to Aldaain’s atmosphere. First Contact to Bacterians. The UO government decides that this would be a splendid time to announce the beginning of the Third Age. <h3><font face="Verdana">The Third Age.</font></h3> 1: The Third Age begins. The Bacterians send an ambassador who promises that they will give their advanced technology to the United Orcs. A 22 years long period of harmony begins with the Bacterians. 3: One of the orcs in the Clan of Berserk reproduces with a Bacterian. The child is called Paavo of the Clan Bacter, or "Paavo Bakteeri" as the Bacterians called him. He becomes an outcast as the Coalition of Clans finds about the incident, Paavo Bakteeri is thrown out of the Berserk Clan. 4: SMOY Corporation merges with DBS Aerospace. DBS becomes DBTec, a sub-division of SMOY Corp. 6: Arnasuk Baasegnar makes his first theories about inter-galactic travel. 10: UO authorities think that the New Rebel Alliance had stopped their attacks already, but apparently they are wrong as another bomb goes off, this time in one of the councilmembers’ apartments. The Red Berets search through the Reel-5 colony, knowing that the majority of anti-hemmoian activists live there. They find nothing. 11: The United Orcs High Command finds out that one of the council members was working for the New Rebel Alliance. 21: Paavo Bakteeri, despite his young age and orcish genes, becomes a member of the bacterian ruling body, craving for revenge against the Coalition of Clans. 22: Suddenly the bacterian ships orbiting Aldaain leave their geostationary orbits and enter Aldaain’s atmosphere. Without any warning, they destroy the United Orcs command facilities around the globe. Almost all other leaders die except for Arnasuk Baasegnar and one of the leading Hemmoians in the council. Couple of minutes after that the Bacterians release genetically engineered killing machines from their ships to wreak havoc among the civilian population. The military and the UOSF try to fight against them but the ground forces are soon destroyed by the creatures, or worse: The things seemed to have an ability to genetically assimilate living creatures. In other words, they could turn people into more killing machines. The UOSF ships, not prepared for a combat situation of this magnitude, are soon wiped out of Aldaain’s sky. The First Bacterian War begins. The first day of the war is the most gruesome. Some 900,000 die in the initial attacks, and when the creatures are released, 3,000,000 people in the northern continent are either infected or killed. At the end of the day, the whole population of the planet is either evacuated, infected, killed or killed the next day. Estimations range from 9,000,000,000 to 12,000,000,000 citizens of Aldaain casualties. The word of this mass slaughter and mindless attacking spreads fast. The remaining government members send evacuation orders to all colonies they can reach as they head for inter-stellar space, far away from the bacterian menace. In a couple of weeks most of the UOSF and civilian ships are informed and most of the colonies are evacuating their population. However, over half of the UOSF is destroyed in the process, and many colonies get attacked and infected by the creatures. The newly formed "Home Fleet" goes from system to system, avoiding any contact with the Bacterians and picking up refugees. 23: As soon as the New Rebel Alliance hears about the mass slaughter they declare independence and take over the entire Reel-5 colony. Riletians use Ion Storm-class ships to evacuate most of their population just in time before the bacterian occupation fleet jumps in. The riletian fleet later joins up with the Home Fleet. The Coalition of Clans, or what’s left of it, is now stationed aboard the Berserk Station. The clan Berserk utilize one of their ships to tow the station away from its original location so the Bacterians won’t find it. A small bacterian attack force is sent to Reel-5. It destroys the laboratories where the colony’s breathing methane is produced. Thinking that it would be enough to kill off the smallish colony, the Bacterians leave the system destroying some passing ships. They are obviously in a hurry to catch up with the main attack fleet. It is rather fortunate for Reel-5 that the attack force didn’t have any bioweapons with them. After the attack the New Rebel Alliance converts some tanker ships to haul methane gas from Reel-4, a nearby gaseous planet. That way, the colony survives. 24: UOSF Vatel is launched from the Tooled Hemmo colony and it tries to catch up with the Home Fleet. The Home Fleet mainly stays in inter-stellar space and tries to figure out a way to escape from the Bacterians. Engineers design the HemmoCruiser III, a large colonyship capable of holding everyone in the Home Fleet inside. It would be faster than the fleet, and it could reach some distant star system far away from the Bacterians, where the UO could start over again. A hidden bacterian bioweapon gets loose on one of the civilian transport ships of the Home Fleet. Everyone aboard is either transformed or killed by the things, and UOSF ships are forced to destroy the whole ship to make sure the infection won’t spread. UOSF Vatel stops at a remote fuel and ammo depot and refuels. 25: The Home Fleet picks up the Coalition of Clans and the Berserk Clan from the Berserk Station as they pass it. The Home Fleet reaches one of the UO’s farthest mining colonies. Navigators know it as P-68749, but it is nicknamed "The Refuge". Local miners are surprised to see a huge armada of ships assuming standard orbit around their tiny poisonous ball of rock. As soon as the leaders of UO land, one of the largish mining vehicle repair bays of the planet is transformed into a shipyard which starts to scrap the ships of the Home Fleet and use the scrap metal to construct HemmoCruiser III. When the civilians on board the Home Fleet ships are granted access to the surface of the planet, a group of five to seven ollapukkitian spies working for the New Rebel Alliance gets in touch with their bosses in Reel system. The NRA command orders the spies to get rid of the hemmoian high-command or kidnap them. Ovaap 2 Resrek discovers one of the ollapukkitian spies and attacks him, but the ollapukkitian is quicker and almost kills him. An Ecnar-class 208-modulation population transport from one of the remaining colonies jumps to the Refuge system, badly damaged. It attempts landing but crashlands on the planet surface and its crew is killed. The spies do several sabotage attempts but fail. When one of them is caught by Ovaap 2 Resrek, the spy kills himself and security chief Kl’zek Deroot with a small-scale explosive. The command module of HCIII is finished and launched in orbit. The living modules are constructed, piece by piece. As the UO command coordinates the launch of the living modules, couple of the ollapukkitian spies attack the high-command, but fail to assassinate them as security forces quickly move in to eliminate the spies. When the modules are assembled in orbit, everyone leaves the Refuge and their ships behind. As HCIII is preparing for a long-range jump, a huge jump point opens and ten heavy bacterian cruisers jump in. While the HemmoCruiser charges its engines for a jump it launches the newest orcish fighters to hold back the Bacterians. What is later known as the Battle of the Refuge takes place. The fighters fail miserably and are all destroyed, but buy just enough time for HCIII to jump far away from the P-68749 system. UOSF Vatel opens a communications channel with the UOSF Hemmo- Cruiser III and informs the ship of their whereabouts. As HCIII enters hyperspace to meet up with UOSF Vatel, the last remaining NRA operatives on board hijack the leading hemmoian and Ovaap 2 Resrek. The spies also recruit Paavo of the Clan Berserk, without knowing that he is working for the government. A shuttle with the two Hemmoians, the ollapukkitian spies and Paavo of the Clan Berserk inside leaves HCIII’s dock and enters realspace, moving to the Reel system. UOSF Vatel reaches the rendezvous point. The crew doesn’t know that they are in gigerdian territory, and that two gigerdian carriers are approaching the ship. Unfortunately, the bacterian attack fleet is able to receive the sub-space communications with HCIII and UOSF Vatel, and heads for the rendezvous point too. UOSF Vatel and HCIII dock with each other and the passengers of the Vatel move inside HCIII. The Vatel detaches and is abandoned. As HCIII prepares for another long-range jump, the gigerdian carriers jump in and launch their fighters. When HCIII doesn’t respond with fire, the captains of the carriers get confused whether to attack or not. As the Hemmoians try to open a communication channel to one of the ships, the gigerdian fighters start shooting each other. Others think that they should attack, others think they shouldn’t. The Gigerdians that don’t want to attack win, but HCIII is badly damaged in the battle. A communication channel is opened with the two ships, and hemmoian and gigerdian representatives try to communicate with each other. UO reps show a hologram of what has happened to their once mighty empire, and Gigerdians agree to help the United Orcs. The First Contact situation with the Gigerdians is over. Almost right after this, the bacterian attack fleet jumps in. Before they start firing, HCIII opens a channel to one of the bacterian ships, and as the comm line is cut off, the First Bacterian War is over. Even today historians argue about what had actually happened. A popular theory is that there was some form of uprising in the Bacterian government. Damaged by gigerdian fire, the propulsion units of HemmoCruiser III go critical. The population aboard the UOSF HemmoCruiser III are evacuated to the gigerdian carrier just in time before HCIII explodes. Meanwhile in the Reel-5 colony the two Hemmoians escape from their cell through the ventilation system of the prison complex. They are being assisted by Paavo of the clan Berserk, who swiftly turns off security cameras and motion sensors. Eventually the New Rebel Alliance security finds out about Paavo and the Hemmoians and finds them. The three citizens of UO barricade the doors and hatchways to a supply compartment where they are hiding. As the NRA security is about to break the door leading to the supply compartment, they suddenly stop. The gigerdian carrier and the bacterian attack fleet has jumped in and forced the NRA to surrender by disabling the tanker ship that had brought them their breathing methane. Then they put the planet under a blockade. The NRA surrenders, hands the three citizens over, and is arrested by hemmoian security. Bacterians pull back their occupation forces from hemmoian planets, and help to rebuild the destroyed cities. However, after such a mindless slaughter, the Bacterians never regain the trust of the UO. 29: Holy Teenik time travels from the future and transmits unknown amounts of future information to the UO government. A special governmental department is formed to hand out the information to the public without creating temporal paradoxes. With all the research knowledge of the future, the UO and later the Hemmoian Federation is able to perform incredible scientific breakthroughs, including time travel and inter-galactic travel. 30: First data transfer protocol for an artificial collective is standardized, but not utilized. ApplianTec, a sub-division of SMOY Corp., designs the HiberChambers™. They are like cryo-freeze tubes, designed so that their user will go to a deep hibernation, while the user’s brain remains connected to the OrcNET, and in future to the Collective. Especially Hemmoians are very fond of these devices, and some move away from their homes completely and start to live inside HiberChambers™. 31: First synchronized satellites are utilized. Royal Space Administration formed to handle colonization and astronomical matters by order of UO high command. RSA utilizes the shipyards of Rilet to create hundreds of colonyships. In the next ten years, RSA observes, maps and colonizes over 200 star systems and keeps on going even today. Even while control of the RSA was given from the UO to the HFed in the future the name remained, although some hemmoian officials insisted on calling it "Regional Space Authority." 32: Dummud is colonized. 33: Rilet becomes a part of the United Orcs once again. 34: Dummud’s secondary colony drowns to the mudlike substance covering the whole planet. One of the greatest accidents in the history of RSA takes place. 35: DHyper Corporation is formed. The corporation starts producing a whole new line of personal atmospheric transports. Though the corporation’s R&D dept. invents new and useful technology, the Design dept. doesn’t seem to be able to utilize the tech correctly and most of their products suffer from strange design flaws. 36: Alfanidon 1, 2 and 3 are colonized. Re'mag system is colonized. 44: Terraformers on Alfanidon 1, 2 and 3 finish their job. 45: Asmar Karellen is born on Alfanidon 2 in the city of Azon. 48: Re'mag Shipyards are constructed. 50: An outpost is built on Alfanidon 3-1 and 3-2, the moons of Alfanidon 3 by colonists. 60: Asmar Karellen goes through Hemmo Academy in a year with Computer Technology, Politics and Public Relations for his main subjects. 62: Asmar Karellen moves to Alfanidon 2 and becomes a Software Programmer for CompuTec, a sub-division of SMOY Corporation. 60: Chaos-class space stations are designed. Their design is later reused for the Peace Station Project. 64: Hemmoian nationalists declare independence from the United Orcs and form the Hemmoian Empire. They make sure the UO understands that their intentions are not hostile in any way and that they only want to preserve their own culture. The Hemmoian Empire’s headquarters are located on Tooled Hemmo I. 65: Hemmoian Empire renamed to The Independent Hemmoian Empire. 66: An RSA colonyship finds strange new ball-shaped creatures from a distant world in the inner rim, near the galactic core -> First Contact with Öksys. Hemmoian scientists start to build the artificial Collective that will unite minds of the Hemmoians in the Independent Hemmoian Empire. 67: The Independent Hemmoian Empire is renamed to Independent Hemmoians. Independent Hemmoian Starfleet, IHSF, is formed to protect the IH colonies, and the Independent Hemmoian Inter-Planetary Security Forces, IHIPSF, are formed to act as a police force. Asmar Karellen travels to Aldaain to visit the Dome of the Thinkers at the Celebration of Thinkers. He wins almost all coding and hacking competitions and decides to stay on Aldaain for a while. As the United Orcs hear about the Collective being produced by the IH, they ask if the technology could be shared, with limited hivemind access. This way, the UO citizens would be able to access the Collective but not be a part of it. IH government agrees, and a referendum is held in the UO if the people would accept computer implants. Only 5% oppose, and so it is decided that the Collective Network shall unite the UO and the IH. IHSF takes control of the Re'Mag Shipyard Facilities. The Great Council is formed on Aldaain, composed of re- presentatives of the IH and the UO. First Päähemmo is appointed. As all this happens, the United Orcs are somehow thrown off balance. They start to decline in power and authority. Anti-Hemmoian factions have speculated that IH used some sort of mind control in the Collective Network, but nothing really supports this claim. During the next 60 years, the Hemmoian authorities slowly take over the government. With their radical governmental changes, new ideas and most of all the Collective technology, other races start to consider Hemmoians as the leader race. IHIPSF, the Blue Beret Special Operations and the Red Beret Colonial Security Forces are merged. IPSF (Inter-Planetary Security Forces) formed. 68: Shok Teenik becomes operational and is appointed an administrator to a local network. 69: The Collective is standardized. Everyone is required to have a computer implant. Operator Station, a huge server station running the whole Collective, is constructed in the orbit of Aldaain. Shok Teenik becomes Shok 2 Teenik when he is implanted with all kinds of cyber tech. 70: Shok 2 Teenik’s lower body is replaced with a synthetic one. 71: Asmar 2 Karellen becomes a diplomat working for the Government. 72: A Royal Space Administration explorer vessel enters the home system of the Pappilan Mustat Siat -> First Contact Situation. The Pappilan Mustat Siat wish not to join the Hemmoian Federation. 73: Asmar 34 Karellen makes friends with Ommir 1 Deloot, a fellow diplomat. 75: As Shok 3 Teenik searches for the job of his dreams he decides to update his mind with science information. As he becomes a Research Associate, he also becomes Shok 4 Teenik. 81: Shok 4 Teenik becomes a second grade ship captain. 83: While piloting a ship, Shok 5 Teenik is in an accident and his mind is back-up copied to the Operator Station. 96: Shok 6 Teenik begins his life inside a HiberChamber™. He administrates local networks and goes through diplomat studies. 116: Shok 8 Teenik emerges from his HiberChamber™ as a fully trained class A diplomat with the best score in the Digital Diplomat Academy, a virtual reality training program constructed by the Hemmo Academy. 117: Ta’mag system is colonized. 128: K'ags Oiduts of the IH designs the Inter-Stellar Peace Treaty and the Peace Station to keep up the galactic peace and to avoid wars like the First Bacterian War. Asmar 211 Karellen resigns from his job as a diplomat when the Government offers him an ambassador’s job aboard the Peace Station. 129: Asmar 224 Karellen joins a group of computer experts who overseer the Planet Wide Network of Aldaain and becomes a Second Class Systems Administrator. The group is believed to be the same as the group of hackers who later on hacked the Operator station and even later on caused the hemmoian civil war. 130: The Peace Station is completed. It is a place for different species to work out their differences peacefully. A home away from home, a dream given form, located in neutral territory. Every species (the two gigerdian factions, Bacterians, United Orcs, Independent Hemmoians, öksys, ollapukkitians, v’romos, and pappilan mustat siat) signs the Inter-Stellar Peace Treaty and send their representatives to the Peace Station. Paavo of the clan Berserk becomes the first and the last representative of the United Orcs aboard the Peace Station. K'ags Oiduts himself becomes the ambassador of the Independent Hemmoians aboard the Peace Station. Peace Station modified heavily. A series of alien buildings for the different species from the different governments is built on the "bottom" of the station. This is called the "Hub City", as the buildings surround the hub of the station. 131: K'ags Oiduts dies in a conflict aboard the Peace Station. Most Hemmoians become citizens of the IH. As the UO has lost almost all of its political power, it formally acknowledges the Independent Hemmoians as their leaders. When the IH government hears about this, they renew their imago and gain a status of an inter-stellar alliance of species. The Hemmoian Federation is formed. Öksys, ollapukkitians and the P.M.S. acknowledge that the Hemmoian Federation is their leader. Every government sends their representatives to the Great Council. V'romos and the United Orcs follow suit. As the United Orcs is no more, Paavo of the Clan Berserk resigns from ambassadorial duty and becomes a barkeeper and owner of The Cave, a bar aboard the Peace Station. A group of hemmoian hacker terrorists cracks through the Operator Station’s ICE defences and gains access to the Collective. Before their actions are seen, they install a back door to the Collective source which the authorities fail to locate. Asmar 242 Karellen travels back to his home planet Alfanidon 2 and becomes a First Class Systems Administrator administrating the whole northern hemisphere comm networks of the planet. Hemmoian authorities report that all of the rebellious hackers are caught and put behind bars. This cannot be true however, as the Hemmoian Civil War later is caused by the very same hackers. 132: Votek N'reete becomes the ambassador of the Hemmoian Federation aboard the Peace Station. Shortly after this, Votek N'reete dies in a conflict. Colony-class space stations are designed and constructed by Riletian Shipyards. The prototype of the DT-3 ATV is completed. Klet Otoe becomes the ambassador of the Hemmoian Federation aboard the Peace Station. The P-class personal transports made by DHyper malfunction, causing deaths all around Aldaain. RSA explorer ship finds a planet filled with strange robotic life forms, programmed to eternally fight against each other -> First Contact with the Trentads. Dolek 3 Yis'ret becomes the ambassador of the Hemmoian Federation aboard the Peace Station. The prototype of the P500 SaPV is completed. 133: RSA declares the newly found Trentad Homeworld a.k.a Trentad Prime as a "Nature Preserve" and sets up an outpost on the planet’s moon to observe the strange, floating robot creatures. Dolek 3 Yis'ret dies in a conflict aboard the Peace Station. The Golden Age of Nano Technology begins as NanoTec, a sub- division of SMOY Corporation, develops easy-to-use nanobots or "nanites". Ommir Deloot becomes the ambassador of the Hemmoian Federation aboard the Peace Station. First Contact with the Antimaniacs. The Hemmoian Federation joins forces with Gigerdians and Bacterians to fight against the shapeshifter menace. Instrumentality-class Space Stations are designed by the Royal Hemmoian Space Yards. 134: A huge ship of alien origin, later known simply as "The Ship", is found from the distant outer rim colony system of Ta’mag. RSA and IPSF research teams enter the ship and study it closely. After they figure out how to use the thing, they convert it to act as the flagship of the IHSF. The two Ta’mag colonies are converted to planet-wide research centers that study The Ship day and night. Later Ta’mag system becomes the biggest research facility in the Hemmoian Federation, and every top secret experiment, invention and discovery is done there. "The Ship" is cloned with nanotechnology and huge amounts of Programmable Nano Matter (PNM). The four ships form the last line of defence of the Hemmoian Federation. If everything would go wrong, the four ships could easily destroy the enemies. Antimaniacs want to have a war with Hemmoians so that they could live peacefully. Where’s the logic in that, eh? Ommir Deloot receives an order to kill the second gigerdian emperor because he knows too much about internal hemmoian matters. Mr. Deloot fails in his assassination attempt and the authorities frame him as a madman working alone. Deloot is taken to Aldaain where he is given a new identity and his information is removed from public access databases. Ommir Deloot, who has never liked the Federation’s government, is now assured that the governmental system should be renewed.. quickly. Shok 24 Teenik becomes the ambassador of the Hemmoian Federation aboard the Peace Station. Antimaniacs join the Hemmoian Federation. Gigerdians want that the never used HemmoCruiser IIb would be used in time travel. Hemmoians agree... knowing that with time travel they could advance their own species remarkably. Shok 24 Teenik is cloned, and Shok 25 to 35 Teeniks become operational. Shok 25 Teenik acts as the captain of the repaired HemmoCruiser IIb and controls the other Shok Teeniks through the Collective. Before the journey back in time, Shok 25 Teenik receives a message from hemmoian high command... written by himself. After reading the message, Shok 25 Teenik downloads all research information available to him (that’s a lot) to his computer implant and equips the implant with long-range transmitters so he can transmit all the data to Aldaain of the past. Shok 25 Teenik goes back in time with the Gigerdians and HemmoCruiser IIb. He sends the information to Aldaain and becomes "Holy Teenik" as he dies like a true martyr when Gigerdians leave him aboard an exploding space station. Antimaniacs demand a space station from the Hemmoian Federation. Rilet Shipyards constructs a high tech Instrumentality-class station for the antimaniacs, but when the antimaniacs receive the station they abandon it. This act makes everyone in the hemmoian high command go "Huh!?". Antimaniacs want to break free from the Hemmoian Federation, but they change their minds when they hear that they wont be a part of the Hemmoian Federation Bi-Yearly Lottery for Extra Planets. Insane gigerdian Grand Admirals with their loyal fleets attack the borderworlds of the Hemmoian Federation. Their initial attacks are a success but after they pass the borderworlds they are beaten by the hemmoian main fleet. 135: Second Bacterian War begins as the Bacterians declare a war against the Hemmoian Federation for reasons unknown. The Great Council thinks that it would be a splendid idea to send the antimaniacs to battle the Bacterians in the front lines... In reality, to act as cannon fodder. Because of this, 99% of all antimaniacs die and the infrastructure of their tiny Star Alliance is destroyed. No-one cares. The Bacterian Main Fleet is able to bypass the hemmoian one and it jumps straight to Aldaain’s orbit. Aldaain's surface is almost completely destroyed, but after the main hemmoian fleet catches the bacterian main fleet, the Bacterians are beaten down. Hemmoians rebuild Aldaain’s ruined cities very fast with the nanotechnical advancements made by Ta’mag research facilities. Second Bacterian War ends as Hemmoians threaten to destroy Bacterius. SMOY Corporation buys DHyper Aerospace. DHyper becomes HyperTec, a sub-division of SMOY Corporation. PlaneTec, a sub-division of SMOY Corporation, is formed. It constructs several tiny ball-of-rock planets for those who have enough money. 136: All of the sudden, the Gigerdi Federation joins the Hemmoian Federation. The Bacterian Empire joins the Hemmoian Federation, as well. The HFed now controls over 50% of the galaxy. Battle against the Dominion. Gigerdians request hemmoian aid in the struggle to wipe out the Dominion. Gigerdians, Hemmoians and Bacterians join forces and defeat the Dominion forces. When they see the awesome might of the Hemmoian Federation, the other gigerdian faction (Gigerdi Confederation?) decides to join the Federation. The Peace Station is abandoned and it is configured to act as a museum overseen by the main computer system of the Peace Station, the Chaotic, Holistic, Station-Based Server (CHSBS). A great celebration endures through the Hemmoian Federation which lasts many weeks, because the "joining of empires" which the great SID had foreseen has finally came. 137: SMOY Corporation buys out the last of its competitors, the Wormland & Wyutani Corporation in the V’romo System. SMOY Corp. establishes a total monopoly. What is not owned by the Government or groups controlled by the Government is owned by the SMOY Corporation. 138: The second gigerdian emperor is relieved from duty and the Gigerdians transform their governmental structure to a corrupted, tyrannical pile of scum. 139: Hemmoian Collective Newsfeed is established to give information to young Third-Generation species. It soon becomes one of the biggest infofeeds in the Federation. 140: John of the clan Travolt is elected to be the new ruler of the United Orcs. In the following years, he leads the dying orcish empire to a new golden age. 141: Teneb 41 Integer begins his work in the Ta’mag Xeno-Biology Division as a xenobiochemist. 142: The government forms the Hemmoian Federation Agency of Intelligence, Terrorism and Counter-Terrorism (HFAoITaCT) to gather intel from another species, and because the government happens to like long and pointless names that can be shortened to long and pointless acronyms. 147: Hemmoian Collective Newsfeed reaches the human "Internet", a planet-wide communications network. 148: Teneb 41 Integer writes his book "Encyclopedia Xenobiologica". 151: Asmar 255 Karellen buys a small transport ship for personal uses. 162: Project Shadow Company is started by the HFAoITaCT. Its mission is build several Shadow Company class vessels that will observe several key locations while cloaked, home worlds mostly, and to destroy the locations with highly advanced Planet Killer Beams if the locations would turn hostile. 165: Gigerdians and Bacterians seem to break away from the Federation. 168: Daglian Conflict begins: Gigerdians visit the Bacterian Homeworld with diplomatic intentions. Gigerdians make a first contact to a race called the Daglians, and decide to invite the bacterian representatives to greet the new race as well. A joint Bacterian/Gigerdian fleet jumps to the orbit of the Daglian Honeworld. Bacterians recognize that the Daglians are a race that they had met in the past, but do not inform anyone. A few hours later, still during the diplomatic visit, the Bacterians launch their dreaded biological weapons on the planet. After that, the whole planet is destroyed by the bacterian fleet. The gigerdian fleet in orbit tries to stop this, but they are destroyed. A colony full of Hemmoians die on RSA-374-2 when the buggy CompuTec operating system crashes and life support is disengaged. Ta’mag Bioweapons Division starts breeding a new strain of Clone Army infantry. Bacterius gets bombed, all the beautiful cities go down in flames. The Gigerdians win the war against the Bacterians -> The Daglian Conflict ends. Gigerdians send occupational forces to the bacterian space and planets. Gigerdians order all remaining Bacterians to be transported to the bacterian homeworld. HyperTec, a sub-division of SMOY Corp, finishes their Å-class personal transport. On Aldaain, in the Glnt’chk sector, a nanochemical factory explodes causing completely unstylish blobs on the walls of tall buildings sectorwide. Ta’mag Quantum Physics and Propulsion System Development divisions begin developing a new PropSys. For reasons unknown, the bacterian leaders, or what remains of them, remotely kill 200 civilian bacterian citizens stationed in hemmoian space. The Great Council tries to convince the six remaining Daglians to join the Hemmoian Federation. Sub-space communication relays get overloaded for some time - The Great Council sets up a sub-committee to think about this troubling fact. Hemmoian cargo vessel hits a gigerdian mine and is destroyed in the hemmoian border. This enrages the Council, because the Gigerdians hadn’t informed anything about setting up mine fields in the hemmoian borders. Every Å-class personal transport crashlands because the CompuTec Operation System had another bug in it. Strange Human refugees take over the leftovers of the old Peace Station and declare the station an independent state. No-one really cares, though, except for the station's central computer who can't stand humans. Bacterians go crazy once again: They declare a war against Hemmoians and destroy one of Aldaain’s moons. It is not known what happened between the Gigerdians and Bacterians after that, but it results in what will later be known as the Great Bacterian Exodus. A huge portal forms in the Beta Quadrant, and in a standard HFed day every Bacterian had left the Milky Way galaxy through it. All colonies, stations and other facilities previously controlled by the Bacterian Empire are abandoned. The new revolutionary TransWarp Dimensional PropSys (TWDPS) is tested for the first time aboard a Black Hole MKII-class carrier. Most of the IHSF ships are refitted with the new TWDPS units. Just when the HFed and the GA are about to expand into the BE's former territory, another huge portal opens near Bacterius. A refitted and a seemingly unstoppable bacterian armada flows through, almost instantly destroying the HFed/GA joint garrison fleets in Bacterius orbit. 169: Third Bacterian War continues: Bacterians launch a fleet of self-conscious, intelligent Amanda-class system destroyer vessels to wreak havoc in the galaxy. A huge battle between the Amanda-fleet and the Independent Hemmoian Starfleet rages on throughout the galaxy. The Third Bacterian war ends when the Gigerdians once again defeat the Bacterians by destroying the last of the Amanda-ships. Gigerdians then initiate a massive attack on Bacterius, hoping that they would get rid of the bacterian menace once and for all. The HFAoITaCT receives word that the gigerdian government is controlled by a mysterious "Section 18", which seems to be the gigerdian counterpart of the HFAoITaCT. Mysteroius new race of ancient beings, "The Lightness", attacks the Gigerdians and the Hemmoians. One of the first hemmoian facilities that are destroyed are the two Uttnim’kl-colonies. In the three following weeks, 38% of IHSF ships are destroyed or disabled in the battle against the Lightness. The Great Council authorizes the use of Black Hole Generators to get rid of the Lightness. It is revealed that the Section 18 is actually allied with the Lightness, and that they basically control the Gigerdian Alliance. When Hemmoian Federation hears about this, The Shadow Company-class Planet Killer vessel SC-2 launches a Planet Killer Beam to Gigerdi Prime. Governmental buildings are destroyed planet-wide. Hemmoians offer help in rebuilding the damage they caused if the Gigerdians deny their corrupted government and listen to the gigerdian rebel faction which intends to renew the Gigerdi Alliance government. Most of the gigerdian population agree and with the help of Kyle Gigerdi, the rebel leader, the government is overthrown. Kapu, a pirate leader that the Section 18 used as a tool, is enraged about this and launches an attack to Aldaain, which fails. Hemmoian Federation wins many battles against the Lightness forces, and the Lightness starts attacking the Gigerdi Alliance. It is revealed that the Bacterians are actually from another galaxy, and that they came to this one through an inter-galactic gateway. This is revealed when another huge portal opens and another bacterian fleet comes through it with peaceful intentions. Peace treaties are signed once again. Still, no-one understands why the Bacterians started the Third Bacterian War... Gigerdians give the bacterian space back to the Bacterians, and the Bacterians establish a military alliance known as "The Inter-Stellar Alliance" to keep the peace. Gigerdians, Hemmoians and Bacterians join it, of course. Ta’mag Research Facilities start building the Neurosphere - a huge orb-shaped deep-space station that would be the ultimate hemmoian construction, filled with so much high-technology and new inventions that it would leave everything else behind. The remaining Daglians join the Hemmoian Federation. The Amandas, who are an ancient race from the Bacterian Home Galaxy, join the Hemmoian Federation. The Neurosphere is completed. With it, the Hemmoians are to reach another level of existance, for they will be converted to pure energy, free from the tyrannny of the flesh. The transformation of the Hemmoians begins. 170: The Second Lightness War begins... or does it? It would appear that the Bacterians use time travel to destroy the Lightness attackers before the war would begin. This way, no Second Lightness War was ever fought. Another incredible scientific breakthrough is done by the Ta’mag research facilities, for they are available to construct a ship capable of Inter-Galactic Travel. The almost completely automated IHSF Baasegnar, as the ship is named, is launched to the Andromeda Galaxy as soon as possible. 171: A wild rumor, that the hackers who once hacked the Operator- station, would’ve installed a backdoor to the Collective and that they’d now plan to overthrow the hemmoian government, spreads rapidly through the infofeeds and comm networks. The Government searches for the hackers, but does not admit it to the public. The group of hackers officially declare themselves the Revolution and liberates some colony worlds from the Collective. The Hemmoian Civil War officially begins. The Revolution hijacks one of the Collective Back-Up Copy-space stations, which is equipped with nano-replicator shipyards and all kinds of handy gadgets, and start building their own fleet of ships. Rilet System breaks free from the Collective and declares its independence. 172: About a few months after the Celebration of the Thinkers, all Hemmoians in the Federation have been ported to pure energy form. With the technology from the stolen CBUC-station, the Revolution creates a new ship type, the "Pieksamaki"-class Dreadnought. They and the Aikon Mk.IIIbs stolen from the colonies that joined the Revolution form the fleet of the soon-to-be Democratic Hemmoian Republic. First "Bullshit Today" talkshow episode is broadcasted through subspace node 747. It features a Gigerdian and a Hemmoian, who go around criticizing everything that has happened in the galaxy. The Revolution is somehow able to hijack one of the flagships of the Federation. 173: The Daglian Assembly of Clans tries to break free from the Federation. However, their attempt is crushed by constant orbital bombing from IHSF blockade fleets. Later that year, the forces of the Revolution disable the IHSF blockade fleets in orbit of New Daglius and liberate the system state. It joins the Revolution as an autonomous state. 175: Staying out of the spotlight, the Riletians start to manufacture ships of their own design. They are designed to take over attacking ship with minimum damage to the attacking ship so that it can be recycled. Testing proves that the new ship type, called the "Chinook Alpha-class Marauder", is a success. 177: The IHSF Baasegnar enters the outmost rims of the Andromeda Galaxy. 178: The Revolution becomes the Democratic Hemmoian Republic (DHR). The Federation is in a way forced to sign a non-agression treaty with the DHR to prevent further computer system hacking. A cold war between the two factions begins. The Daglian Assembly of Clans, enraged because their homeworld was reduced to a wasteland of smoldering ash in the Hemmoian Civil War, join the DHR. The Government of the Federation makes the HFed industry go full speed to make sure they have better weapons than the enemies. This makes the HFed economy soar and everyone is happy. The A-class population spend their times trans- forming themselves into various objects and creatures, surf the data networks, and basically just have fun. The Celebration of the Thinkers is at least twice as great as it was last year. "Body Fashion" becomes popular. Meanwhile, the DHR Congress is thinking of removing the reproduction lock programmed on all Hemmoians. By doing this, they would allow Hemmoians to reproduce once again.. Thus over-populating the galaxy instantly. The plan is rejected by the people of the DHR. The Hemmoian Federation officially "buries" some colony worlds that were crushed by IHSF Planet Killers during the Civil War in a series of pompous memorial ceremonies. IHSF Engineers design the "Blue Streak Aikon", a.k.a. "Aikon Mk.4". This ship is smaller than the other Aikons and is only partially based on the old hull design. The AMK4s are made to pack a punch but still not have any military high-technology on them, so they could be freely sold to civilian factions. In fact, the AMK4s become non-military craft among the people of the Federation. 179: The Beta Quadrant Conflict takes place in Inter-Planetary Alliance space. All members of the Inter-Stellar Alliance send forces to the I.P.A. borders and commence a campaign aganist the renegade I.P.A. The fighting begins when a gigerdian task force discharges their weapons at a civilian vessel originating from I.P.A. space. HFed takes minor casualties, other I.S.A. member states suffer more. I.P.A. Forces suffer greatly in almost every battle. HFed ships report sightings of "strange vessels with a signature resembling the Lightness sig, but they're definately not of the Lightness.." The I.S.A. task forces quickly neutralize I.P.A. resistance all over I.P.A. space. The I.P.A. launches attacks against HFed worlds. Some of them succeed in disabling the planetary security grid, but cause no further damage. I.P.A. high command and the Gigerdi Alliance government commence peace-treaty discussions. I.P.A. can remain independent if they return the stolen military equipment and if their renegade leader, Mad Gigerdi 2, is court-martialled in gigerdian space. I.P.A. forms an alliance with the First One Alliance and several other Beta Quadrant governments. The resulting alliance of governments is named The Inter-Galactic Alliance. Meanwhile, in the Andromeda Galaxy, automated probes sent from the HFed ship IHSF Baasegnar, make contact with a new alien race named the Parasites. More sightings of "strange ships which resemble the ships of the Lightness" are reported in distant Outer Rim colony worlds. The DHR is contacted by a new species, known as the Orlians. They want DHR to organize a delivery of unknown origin to Aldaain atmosphere. After a long debate, the DHR congress agrees to help the orlian people. The HFAoITaCT spying posts pick up transmissions from the orlians. In the transmissions, they register words like HFed, GAlliance, DHR, alliance, and President Karellen. The HFAoITaCT and the Section 18 investigate the possible threat together, but are too late.. The joint-DHR/orlian operation in Aldaain atmosphere takes place. When the orlian vessel reaches the atmosphere of Aldaain, a high-energy explosive detonates. At the same time, a huge armada of unknown ships (assisted by Daglians) jump into the vicinity of Aldaain and neutralize the protecting Hfed fleets. The defence station on the second moon of Aldaain is powered up by HFed officials. It destroys hundreds of ships (and instantly vaporizes all of the attacking daglian vessels), but the overall amount of attackers is overwhelming. The defense station is destroyed. HFed officials set the planetary shield surrounding Aldaain to maximum and send out distress calls. Meanwhile, the DHR congress is in a state of chaos as they understand that the orlians used the DHR as a tool to attack the HFed. In a few seconds, the planets of O6 Exterior, O6 Interior and Ollapukkiti Prime hear the distress calls and send out fleets to protect Aldaain. A huge battle starts in the space surrounding Aldaain. Thousands of ships are destroyed on both sides, but there are still too many attackers. The remaining HFed ships contact Ta'Mag Shipyards and request back-up. The planetary shielding system of Aldaain is overloaded and the shielding fails. The unknown attackers bomb the surface of Aldaain into a barren wasteland of twisted construction materials. They then release a virus of some sort to the hemmoian Collective - it spreads throughout the galaxy by using the Collective Network. The Hemmoian Mothership #1 jumps into Aldaain space and fires at the intruders. When most of the intruders survive, the mothership reaches ramming speed and rams into the hostile fleet, taking 90% of them down - minimal damage is inflicted to the mothership itself. The mothership fires again, and the remaining few ships are disabled or destroyed. IHSF sub-fleets search and destroy the remaining enemy presence. HFed Emergency Management Agency (HFEMA) "clears up" the destruction zone of the upper levels of Aldaain. In reality, they just fly around with big atmospheric ships and do some openings in the mass of destroyed constructions so that interaction is possible with the inner levels and the aerospace operations of Aldaain. The Council decides that the upper levels of Aldaain should remain a wasteland since "Wastelands are cool." The Government rebuilds security, defensive and traffic control systems on the wasteland but doesn't actually do anything to the fact that the surface of Aldaain is covered with burning ship/building/ docking mechanism residue. 180: Major refits in the IHSF take place. The Inter-Hemmoian Media Services (IHMS) is formed by citizens of the DHR and the Riletian Republic to act as an alternative to the HFed-controlled Hemmoian Collective Newsfeed (HCNF). Latest Body Fashion is to have a very long head. The synchronous space lift systems on Aldaain are rebuilt from scratch, once again connecting the planetary surface with the satellites in orbit. 184: A counterpart of the IHSF Baasegnar, constructed in the Andromeda Galaxy, is scheduled to reach the Milky Way galaxy. 237: Exactly 5000 years since the beginning of the First Age.</pre> </TD></TR> <TR> <TD align="right" bgcolor="maroon"> <FONT FACE="Lucida Console,Courier New" size=2> :: NETWORK DIALER v.1.38 :: </center></TD> </TR> </TABLE> </CENTER> </font> </td> </table> </body> </html> [[category:Obsolete works]]
