Slightly Detailed History of the SDNet Region:
- In the early history of the region, it was a quiet region filled mostly with moldering old powers resting on the laurels of fast-stagnating technology and a stable, though static international economic equilibrium.
- In a stunning move the Empire of Eizen and several other nations, including the Confederacy of the Ctan create the DARCSID Alliance. Alliance forces quickly occupy many of the old regional powers. Among those escaping the early occupation was the United Federation of the Known Worlds (UFKW.)
- In a series of provocative and escalatory maneuvers, Prime Minister Ben Dilavitch of the Federation and Emperor Eizen I engage in increasingly hostile political and military posturing. Both sides still blame the other as the aggressor in that period.
- Emperor Eizen I initiates a cultural exchange program offering Federal press members a seemingly unprecedented look at the inside of Eizen affairs. This turns out to be a clever ruse to ambush the Federation when the leader of the Federal delegation, Captain Ammons, betrays her country to the DARCSID.
- In response Prime Minister Dilavitch kicks off Operation Farsight, a devastating EMP assault followed by a vicious conventional cruise missile strike against Eizen targets of opportunity. This is met by a vigorous DARCSID counterstrike involving the forces of Eizen, Ctan, and Adumar. The war rapidly escalates to the use of WLRs. Federal resistance bogs down the DARCSID land advance as a seething propaganda war takes place on both sides.
- At the darkest hour of the war, cities on both sides are ravaged by nuclear WLRs. The Federation capital of Winnipeg becomes one of the Fifteen. This marks the first use of Federal kinetic-strike weapons. However, the war ends abruptly when Prince Azure assassinates his father Eizen I. On the Federal side, Admiral Jenni Zelthig and a number of Fleet Admirals execute a military coup against Prime Minister Dilavitch. Ahmed Hassim becomes the Federal Prime Minister.
- The peace following the war was marked by a rapid rebuilding of infrastructure and military by the Federation and the Alliance. The peace is also marked by tense international relations between both sides. It is broken by a brief war between Leet Speak and Neon Simian. With the intervention of the DARCSID, Neon Simian is completely defeated by Leet Speak. During this period of time, Eizen II meets Princess Milyssa of Leet Speak.
- The peace ends with the creation of the Empire of Dukratus and Stellar Circle. Stellar Circle launches a concerted effort at seizing planetary control through the U.N. Sensing an opportunity, Dukratus makes it's move, demanding a large number of Stellar Circle citizens be furnished as slaves to the Dukratus war-machine.
- The international community reacts swiftly to the threats, sanctioning Dukratus and moving their militaries into position. Dukratus backs down only slightly and begins it's own military preparations.
- Dukratus destroys a number of Federal ships and launches an invasion on it's smaller neighbor, Terran Sphere. This results in a declaration of war by the Binak Confederacy, the Federation, Eizen, and Adumar. The Federation, the Confederacy, the Star Commonwealth, and Terran Sphere form the Coalition of Independent Nations.
- The war against Dukratus demonstrated the prevailing schools of military thought of DARCSID with it's large numbers of war droids and military aircraft, and of the Federation with it's EMP first strike and kinetic bombardment of Dukratus targets from space. Dukratus' use of trickery and massive quantities of conscripts fails to save them from the aggressive Federal and DARCSID assault.
- Dukratus launches an audacious nuclear strike against Stellar Circle. However, it meets in failure and so does a desperate Dukratus decapitation strike against Eizen II. The broken leadership of Dukratus flees. Federal forces consolidate the occupied Dukratus territories into the Principality of Federal Territories.
- Shortly after the end of the war, Stellar Circle seizes control of the nominal planetary government (They became UN Delegate.) Repeated threats of action by DARCSID and the Coalition (Comprised of the Federation, and the Federal Territories. Binak left, and Terran Sphere began their period of isolation,) failed to deter Stellar Circle.
- Stellar Circle utilizes United Nations forces to forcibly remove several SDNet nations. This forces the other nations of the region into action. On the political side, Adumar and Kracktopia band together to force Stellar Circle from the position of UN Delegate, by placing the nascent Federal Territories into the position. On the military side, a swift military campaign spooks Stellar Circle into a military coup. Eizen II's half-brother, Gray, seizes Stellar Circle and becomes Citizen Superior.
- After the war, Citizen Superior Gray is strong-armed into giving treaty ports to both the DARCSID and the Federation. With this, things return to the status quo until the arrival of Isla Besaid. In this time-period, Eizen and Leet Speak become bonded, literally at the hip, with the marriage of Eizen II and Princess Milyssa.
- Assisted by Eizen dissidents, Isla Besaid seizes control of the Eizen network of seismic bombs. This network, which would've been deployed at the end of the Great War, has seismic charges scattered throughout the region. Besaid uses this newfound power to devastate a number of nations which had crossed it in some way.
- Emboldened by their success, Isla Besaid allies itself with Citizen Superior Gray of Stellar Circle. Together they threaten Eizen and utilize the seismic network in the way Eizen I had originally envisioned, with a strike against the Federation.
- The Besaid strike against the Federation backfires. It results in a saturation assault against them by the Federal Zeus satellites, completely destroying their command and coordination facilities, as well as any remaining Eizen seismic charges.
- DARCSID moves, rapidly defeats both Stellar Circle and Besaid. Citizen Superior Gray reveals his ties to Eizen. He is killed by Eizen II himself. Prime Minister Ahmed Hassim of the Federation believing that Federal interests in Stellar Circle are at threat, launches a lightning campaign to occupy a large part of Stellar Circle. Eizen overextends itself in occupying the rest of the nation. However, with the might of the DARCSID alliance behind it, the Empire forces the Federation to return the land, and give up it's stake in Isla Besaid.
- Tensions remain high in the region. They are exacerbated by Eizen's threatening of Morecia and the mysterious annhilation of the capital of Visar. As the damage is consistent with kinetic strikes, the DARCSID demands an investigation of the Federation's military infrastructure. This drives the Federation and the Star Commonwealth to set aside their traditional differences to resurrect the Coalition.
- Terran Sphere attempts to mediate between DARCSID and the Coalition. Their intervention, however, is deemed to be unwelcome by Eizen. The sudden uncertainty in Terran Sphere's international standing sparks dissention inside the small nation.
- The escalating international tension sparks a revolt within the Federation. It's Director of Intelligence, John Wright, reveals that the Federation's ace, the USS Ticonderoga. He uses it to effectively trap and imprison the Federal civilian government.
- In a surprise move, Eizen backs Director Wright against the civilian Federation government. And this is the history of SDNet to date, as well as I can remember it.
