And we continue with the telling of just what happens before the Stargate pilotfilm even happens!
Refresher: The People's Republic of Viceroy has 7 planets so far: Viceroy, their capital, and New Hiroshima, both in the Milky Way galaxy. Then there is Lantea, a colony of Viceroy and New Hiroshima, in the Pegasus Galaxy. Finally we have Mon Calamari, Corellia, Mandalore and Kamiino in the "Far Far Away" galaxy, or Imperial galaxy.
The current fleet is as follows:
77 Altera-class Frigates
71 Quasar-class Corvettes
24 Corellian Corvettes
65 Alteran-class Cruiser
54 Singularity-class Carriers
7 Hagi-class battlecruiser
8 MC-60 Starcruiser (Mon Calamari Starcruiser)
3 Destination-class Starcruiser
9 Numera-class Starcruiser
1 Bilskirnir-class mothership
2 Montanna-class Star Dreadnoughts
11 Gaggle-class Transports
Total number of capital ships: 321
We are also now entering the eleventh year since Viceroy was colonized.
Finally: Sorry for the long wait, though the next chapter will most likely take even longer.

The 11th January 121st month since Viceroy's colonization was to many another reason to celebrate and similar to the republic's Independence Days in September it appears that the Colonization Anniversary would become a yearly celebration. Once again dignitaries of all corners of the universe to which contact exists with come to the festivities, including lords Yu, Amaterasu, Ra and Ba'al. The Asgard used the occasion to show the newest batch of Asgard clones, now taller and more human-like thanks to the Kamiinoan and Furling gene engineering technology coupled with records of older Asgard genetic codes.
The [PRVS Montanna] attended the parade as the strongest warship of the Milky Way as well as the Republic while her sistership [PRVS Nagato] was stationed at Lantea as the Pegasus Fleet's flagship. Darth Vader, who attended once more the festivities, had to marvel at the sheer beauty of a over 7000 meter long Dreadnought built not by Imperial hand but by this extra galactic contact of the Empire.
"Ice cream sir?" Asked then a Clone Trooper of the 501st while holding out a cone of ice cream to him.
"Thank you major." Answered Vader, opening a compartment in his helmet. A benefit of regular visits to Viceroy was that they were able to at least provide him with some repairs to his face. Not all but at least breathing become easier again while eating regular food become possible. He had hated the braces he had to wear all the time. He actually sugested for the Emperor to take the plastic surgery offer as well but he declined.
Apparently his current appearance was part of his image so he couldn't just do that.
It was a bit odd to watch Jedi Younglings from the sides as they performed mock battles with practice staffs instead of lightsabers, safer that way after all. They were of the new Viceroy Republic's Order and instead of being pure lightside there was a more gray tone to the new order. He knew both Obi-Wan and master Yoda hadn't come to this place, most likely because they still believed they could restore the old ways.
He inwardly snorted, only over his dead body and at least a moon-sized base's cost in collateral damage. Rumor had it that the Republic wanted to purchase some of the mothballed Venator-class Star Destroyers to be used by them, as well as some of the older artillery walkers of the Republic. He assumed they had heard of his exploits of using those artillery walkers on Venator-class ships against the CIS and wanted to copy it without wasting resources.
As Vader continued on he come past president Halesia of the 12 colonies of Kobol who was in discussion with councillor Laeng Shitau of the Alterians, apparently about a exchange of technologies. To be honest, this celebration was often used by different galactic powers to mingle and form bonds by this point, seeing as the Republic of Viceroy connected so many areas of space that wouldn't meet otherwise.
He come upon a interesting sight, namely a Mandalorian fighting a Drengin warrior. One with a Darksaber, the other wielding some kind of energy blade of his own. The Mandalorian was human though, so the size difference was significant.
Though, the Mandalorian's fighting prowess may prove entertaining.
A distance away Lord Ba'al was in discussion with a Kamiinoan about cloning technology. "And you have been experimenting with it for a few years now? Impressive, from what I was told the Goa'uld appear to be scavengers more than anything, to hear there are scientists among the leadership is interesting." Noted Luan Amdari, the Kamiinoan as she walked alongside Ba'al.
Her people had no qualms with the Goa'uld and Ba'al had yet to engage the Republic, as such she saw no harm in talking with the Goa'uld leader and scientist. "Sadly it is true that my race is rather stagnant unless we find new host bodies with knowledge of that kind. And as you certainly know my kinsman would rather kill each other than divulge such knowledge to one another." Stated Ba'al, his voice more cultivated than most of his kind.
"Indeed, so say the rumors. I am glad however there are some with who you can speak in a intellectual conversation without them blanking out." Noted the Kamiinoan, pleased by the man's own knowledge.
"Oh don't I know." Bemoaned Ba'al, sighing heavily.
Meanwhile Lord Yu was having a business deal of his own. "And done, 20 clones of your host and yourself as well as books on the principles of industrialization in exchange for 800.000 tons of refined Naquadah and 2 million civilians." Concluded Rias Amtil of Viceroy's diplomatic department as lord Yu signed a contract.
"Indeed, it was a pleasure to make business with you." Answered the elder Goa'uld, standing up and shaking the woman's hand. A smile was on his face as the idea of industrializing his planets was something he had gotten after seeing some of Ba'al's own worlds as well as the effectiveness of Sokar's limited use of industry. Luckily he had kept his own planets on a acceptable level.
In another area Lord Ra found himself twitching, because the same situation had popped up as last time. "How can it be that every time I go to the buffet, a entire battallion worth of clones is already standing in line?" He asked, seething as he stood in line, again, behind Thor and Odin before whom stood the 12th legion of the Republic! It was like a giant, galactic joke and he didn't get it!
"As the humans would say: Stuff it Snake-Face." Stated Thor and the two Asgard highfived, apparently their new bodies also raised their humor level.
This was how the 11th anniversary of Viceroy was celebrated.
XXXXXoooXXXXX
February, the 122nd month of Viceroy's existence, was for the most part uneventful other than giving birth to another Destination-class Starcruiser, [PRVS Honduras], as well as 2 Hagi-class battlecruiser, [PRVS Bismarck] and [PRVS Yamato]. Help to lord Yu to industrialize some of his mayor planets are ongoing.
In March of 1956, 123 months after Viceroy was settled, another conflict arouse, this time against Systemlord Apophis after he attacked a mining operation of the Republic. Altera Frigate Task Force 4, present at the time, were able to fend off the attack, protecting the miners, but due to a Ha'tak ramming [PRVS Airedale] the ship had to be scuttled due to damage. Infighting among the Goa'uld arouse due to lord Apophis losing four Ha'tak in the attack as well as losing support for the unsanctioned attack on Republic holdings.
Month 124, April, intelligence reports revealed that the USA had found another Gateway, archeologists calling it "Stargate" due to inscriptions on a plate covering it. It was decided to leave the scientists to their own devices for the moment and to keep them unaware of the colonies. All alien races knowing of Viceroy's origins agreed to keep quiet if a Earth team was to meet them while a warning was given to the Goa'uld if they met any teams with similar equipment as Republic Forces. 2 raids on Apophis' worlds cost him another 8 Ha'tak and 600k tons of Naquadah. Lord Apophis lost a lot of influence in response to this and he was forced to surrender formally unless he wanted to continue a losing war. Mirth among Ra and his family was palpable during the meeting.
Month 125, May 1956, found the refit of another 4 Mon Calamari Cruiser as well as 12 more Corellian Corvettes. Due to a lack of need for the planet and Republic demands onto it, the Planet Ilum was taken over the the People's Republic of Viceroy. Reasons for this are a Jedi Temple as well as a rich mine of Lightsaber crystals. Lastly, it was discovered that Ilum holds by nature a huge quantity of ore reserves of a Naquadah-like substance. This substance was found to be much more powerful than regular Naquadah in nuclear reactions. Naboo joins the Republic to emperor Palpatines anger but he didn't object beyond this.

June 1956, Month 126
Alterian Sector, Palace Nebula, [PRVS Yamato]
XXXXXoooXXXXX
The mighty Yamato, one of nine Hagi-class battlecruiser, was the pride of the Japanese native Republic inhabitants. Standing shoulder to shoulder with the best warships in the galaxy, only Destination-class starcruiser and similarly strong warships could beat the Hagi-class.
The [Yamato] was the first Hagi-class battlecruiser named after a Japanese battleship, there had been others named after Axis warships but never a Hagi-class battlecruiser. The [Yamato] was the flagship of Task Force Delta, a fleet of her, [PRVS Bismarck] who was her sister ship, the Singularity-class carrier [PRVS Mississippi], the two Alteran-class cruiser [PRVS Vampire] and [PRVS Ambition], the Numera-class battleship [PRVS Legionary], and finally the 12 Corellian Corvettes which had been refitted recently.
This Task Force was awaiting the reinforcements in the form of 20 Alterian Battleships and 42 Iridium Corporation warships. The Palace Nebula was just 4 clicks away from the fleet, the position of a Dreadlord research facility.
This one was guarded by 500 huge Dreadlord battleships, each 2000 meters long and could represent a danger just through their mass. The Dreadlord faction was on it's last leg, with only 4 of their colonies and their homeworld was included in those, remaining there was little they could still do to the allied factions against them. They had barely 2 shipyards left as it was and without the Drengin keeping the others in check as well as the Yor having to rebuilt, they had no possible way of rebuilding.
Reports however indicated that the research facility they had built here may very well hold a super weapon that the Republic didn't want them to complete. As such they had set everything onto destroying it before this happened or better yet, capture the research notes and a prototype if any. This was however a secondary option, not a primary goal.
Finally, coming out of Hyperspace, were the reinforcements. They were all enhanced with technology that had been greenlighted by the Asgard to be shared by the Republic, armed with Ion cannons capable of dissabling Star Destroyer-sized starships and shields capable of holding up against a full engagement against a dozen of Imperial Star Destroyer.
On the bridge of [Yamato] stood up her commanding officer, admiral Kurama Miyuki. Before her was the tactical display map of their surroundings, on the far edge was the station to their position, between it and them stood the 500 Dreadlord battleships in 100 groups.
The ships present were mostly of the new Atlesia-class battleships of the Alterians, a couple Mangari-class cruiser were also present, making a fleet of 12/40 ships in total, as well as the Iridium Corporation's Limiter-class armed transports in numbers of 66. And don't let that fool you, while they were mainly transports most of the time, they were like the MC-60, modular. They were modified to serve was battleships and as they were on par in size with Dreadlord battleships this was easy.
"Hail the flagships." Ordered Miyuki with a smile and soon after pictures of the commanding officers come up. "Welcome to the Palace Nebula, admirals. I am Rear Admiral Kurama Miyuki aboard the Hagi-class battlecruiser [PRVS Yamato], who do I have the honor to fight alongside?" Asked the admiral, polite as was to be expected of her Japanese roots.
"Rear Admiral Horumi, Alterian Self-Defense-Force. The honor is all mine ma'am." Responded the female humanoid that was the admiral of the Alterian fleet with a smile.
"Rear Admiral Raeri, of the Iridium Corporation's war council." Introduced the male admiral himself, as usual there was no smile to find on his face as on most of his kind. "I am however concerned as there is only one large warship in your fleet." Stated the man then and Miyuki sighed, so little faith.
"I am sorry sir but the Republic is currently involved in a search and destroy action against another enemy whose location we don't know. As such we couldn't send out more than we already have but don't worry, all ships present are powerful enough to be more than a match to Dreadlord battleships." Explained the woman and the man nodded, though she could tell he wasn't happy about something else taking priority.
"I think we should concentrate on the matter at hand now. Your ships have the best sensors, what can you tell us about the position of the enemy?" Put admiral Horumi the conversation back on track and Miyuki was glad for that.
"We send you our sensor feed, wait a second." She answered and a second later the connection to all allied ships, giving them a overview of the enemies on hand.
"That is quite a force, are you sure we can do this?" Asked Horumi with a concerned frown and Miyuki nodded.
"Yes, as it stands they would be invincible to you before our contact, but with all the upgrades and the ships here, we should be a match for them. I recommend we take them down one group at a time though and work our way through them all so they cannot easily flank us." Explained Miyuki, before showing the proposed attack plan.
The plan itself would have the [Yamato] and the [Legionary] charge in with only 4 Corellian Corvettes as escorts as a distraction. Meanwhile the [Bismarck] would charge the right flank with 1/3rd of the allied fleets and 3 corvettes while the [Vampire] and [Ambition] would do the same with the left flank, escorted by another 3rd of the fleet and another 3 corvettes. The [Mississippi] would hang back with the remaining fleet as support and back-up.
With 79 ships in total this promised a large quantity of space to be part of the battle, preventing a complete concentration on the singular ships while the division of the fleets meant there would be beam capable ships everywhere, a weapon they could use.
"Very well, then god speed admiral." Agreed Raeri before cutting the connection before the fleets begun to separate into the four smaller groups, dividing according to the plan.
Half a hour after the Alterian and Iridium fleets had arrived the attack begun. The charge of [Yamato] with her group was seen as foolish by the Dreadlords, or so it seemed to them until the [Legionary] fired it's primary cannon, slicing in half 4 of their battleships in one shot while the [Yamato] and her escorts let loose with their particle cannons.
Now, light cannons as mounted on the upgraded Corellian Corvettes were after a couple minutes of attacks enough to deal serious damage to the shields, and the heavy cannons mounted on Hagi-class and Numera-class warships could cripple a ship in two shots. However the main weapon that would be of concern were [Yamato] and [Legionary's] Drone Weapons.
Unlike the Alterans who would fire them in large swarms, the two warships were sparse in how many they fired, only letting loose a couple per enemy ship and that was already enough when they aimed at areas that would, when destroyed, cripple the ships. Add in that all ships present were armed with newly enhanced nukes, enhanced with the new Naquadah-like substance, as well as beam technology and you could see the enemies go up in novas.
Additionally the ships were constantly moving around, not staying in one place too long so they wouldn't be surrounded or as easy to ram for the enemy while also using proximity to the enemy to make it harder for them to hit the Republic ships without hitting their own weakened ships.
That way the, funnily enough, Center Force cut a bloodied line through the enemy, at points 2 clicks wide graveyards of battleships and disabled Dreadlord ships marking their progress.
At the same time the [Bismarck] had already started her own sweep of the right flank's outer edges, bringing down ships in the dozen while her fast, small corvettes flew in and out like fighters, beaming their own nukes aboard while providing support to the battleships and armed transports as well as the number of cruisers of the Alterians. The same was going on at the left flank, where the Dreadlord fleets found themselves being bludgeoned by the cloaking Alteran cruisers and their Puddle Jumper gunships.
The [Mississippi] and her own division weren't standing around either, they were for the most part the allied fleet's heavier carriers and not only was the [Mississippi] sending out her own Python-Interceptor and Puddle Jumper, helped by the numerous bombers and interceptors of the two other races.
It took 10 minutes for the [Yamato] and her group to reach the station at the heart of the Nebula, easily going through the hail of cannons fire from it which ceased soon after with concentrated drone attacks before the plan was put into motion.
50 teams of 10 marines each were beamed onto the station. The defenses were to 99% concentrated on the airlocks of the station and so it was easy to take command stations, generator rooms and labs in short order. The airlock areas were vented to space before the [Legionary] and [Yamato] took a hold of the station with their tractor beams before slicing a large enough hole into the enemies to leave.
At a signal of the admiral all ships of the allied fleet fled into hyperspace, leaving 262 battleships destroyed with another 64 irreparably damaged in their wake. Despite their numerical inferiority and the fact that they hadn't gone in completely, only 2 Alterian battleships, 21 of their cruiser, 29 of the Iridium corporation's warships and 2 corvettes were lost in the battle with 218 assorted fighters lost.
The positive of this was that all lost ships had been evacuated before they were destroyed, thus no loss of life was to be reported by them, resulting in a complete and devastating defeat of the Dreadlord fleet. It left them with merely 174 ships out of the defending fleet and the loss of anything on the station itself. As the fleet was a majority of their remaining battleships, the rest being the much smaller cruisers, this meant their forces were crippled to the point that the chances of Germany at the beginning of 1945 looked better to win the war.

July 1956, month 127 report: The captured station's research has been decoded and prototypes analyzed. It appears the Dreadlords were working to weaponize the unstable matter inside a wormhole for a type of wave-motion gun weapon. The weapon itself can be built with Stargate technology as a basis and instead of the much bulkier models found it is being worked on to create such weapons with Alteran Stargates modified in the same way as the Dreadlord prototype.
August 1956, month 128: The first "Wormhole Cannon" prototype has been completed and was mounted onto [PRVS Yamato]. The weapon was created by creating a enclosed wormhole, meaning one whose only destination is subspace, and then direct energy from the hyperdrive into it. The energy beam fired from it during testing against a fully shielded but otherwise derelict Asgard mothership resulted in the ship imploding after being sucked into subspace for a moment. The weapon is sheduled to be installed on all Hagi-class battlecruiser and Alteran-class Heavy Cruiser as a primary weapon.
September 1956, month 129 to October 1956, month 130: Refit of all Hagi-class and Alteran-class ships completed. Completion of 2 more Destination-class starcruiser and the first human built Numera-class battleship reported. [PRVS Starry Sky], [PRVS Kyoto] and [PRVS Uzumaki] have been stationed at Mandalore. Also 4 more Hagi-class battlecruiser and 8 more Alteran-class cruiser completed. Planet Tollana has joined the Republic in a alliance after attacks by the unknown Goa'uld. Existing Tollana fleet assets have begun refit in Republic shipyards and Task Force 19 has been dispatched to the planet for the time being.
November of 1956 marks the seventh anniversary of the Republic as well as the 131st month since colonization. Celebrations were attended once again by dignitaries of all member worlds and allies and friendly enough governments but, surprisingly, also by 3 ascended beings in the forms of Oma Des A'la and two other ascended Alterans. According to them the growth of the Viceroy Republic and it's growing network of allies has been observed by many with interest among their numbers as they are uncertain about what this could mean to the future. When the ascended left again after visiting Lantea, it was found that the previously for the most part locked database of Atlantis was fully unlocked and upgraded designs from it were found to have transferred to Lemuria and it's shipyards.
End of year report: Births: 304.121 (Viceroy), 412.321 (New Hiroshima), 3742 (Jaffa), 12.921 (Assorted Aliens). Total Population: Viceroy: 4.429.205, New Hiroshima: 2.381.182, 14.775 Jaffa over all, 212.647 assorted aliens on core worlds, 3.4 billion on Corelia, 2.7 million on Mon Calamari 4.1 billion (Mandalore), 4.3 billion (Kamiinoans)/24.967 (Clone Troopers), 5846 (Lantea), 1210 (Ilum), 8.1 billion (Naboo)

Planet Viceroy Year 12
XXXXXoooXXXXX
January 1957, 133rd month since colonization of Viceroy. Aside of the yearly celebrations of the anniversary of Viceroy's colonization the following is to report: The final Dreadlord forces have been destroyed and their homeworld, after 3 weeks of siege, has surrendered to the allied space and land forces. The last Dreadlord shipyard was destroyed by a alpha strike of [PRVS Yamato] and [PRVS Musashi] (One of the four youngest Hagi-class ships). Captured technology on the planet was distributed among the Iridium Corporation and Alterians. The Yor threat has been deemed low enough to be handled by the Alterians and Iridiums on their own for the moment.
February 1957, month 134: On P3X-981 (World Government controlled planet) a renewed attack on Sumatra Base occurred. A pirate by the name of "Edward D. Teach" led a fleet of 10 pirate ships, including his personal flagship, against the base, intending to take the gate to travel to another world to establish a stellar empire after having heard of it during a period of being one of the Shishibukai, pirates who were hired by the World Government. His fleet was repelled easily and he was captured after he come ashore and a young soldier shot him with a gun loaded with experimental bullets made of a mineral known as "Kairoseki" or Seastone. He was unable to move while it was in his body and it was discovered he had Devil Fruit Powers. He was handed to the World Government soon after.
March 1957, month 135: On the planet labeled P3X-502 a advanced population was found. The natives, who are roughly on par with Earth in general technology, call the world "Remnant" and are divided in two species: Humans and human-like beings known as "Faunus" who exhibit all human features but have additionally either a tail or animal ears of various species. On the planet exist 4 kingdoms who are in peace with one another and no direct war appears to exist. However there exists another species known as the "Creatures of Grimm" who exhibit various subspecies similar to ordinary animals.
99.999999999999999% of the planet's population appears to be force sensitive though they call it "Aura" instead. They use this, in combination with a substance called "Dust" which occurs naturally in crystalline form, to fight the Grimm. The 42nd battalion who were with the ship that made contact with them were able to capture a Grimm of the subspecies "Borbatusk". However, during transport into orbit it become agitated before, when exiting the Stratosphere of the planet, it evaporated. Attempts to end Grimm threat to the habitants by beaming as many Grimm as possible into orbit were met with failure due to the ships in orbit being unable to lock onto them with their lifesign detectors. Doing so by marking them with beacons was more successful but ineffective. Embassies were established in the four kingdoms at the end of the month.
April 1957, month 136: Refit of the last Tollana warship has been completed and returned to their government. Calls for a third Montanna-class Star Dreadnought have grown in the Republic as a result of the recent battle for the Dreadlord station. Due to lacking the resources to spare for a third ship a new design was proposed for another battlecruiser similar to the Hagi-class but with a slightly smaller size and the ability to be stationed under the guise of a naval battleship on Earth. The new ship, X-106, was once again visually based on naval battleships but this time was to have the Wave-Motion-Cannon installed as part of the base design.
May 1957, month 137: Construction of the first 4 X-106 has begun. They are to be 340 meters long, making them significantly shorter than initially planned but with construction restrictions on Earth it was found that anything bigger would be considered strange on the planet. The ship is to be armed with a nose-mounted Wave-Motion-Cannon like the Hagi-class, 5 Particle Cannon turrets that can also fire regular shots, all mounted before and after the central command tower of the ship, each with 3 cannons and a sixth turret just above the Wave-Motion-Cannon. The cannon will have sections that can be used to cover the cannon's opening while operating in the guise of a naval ship. Point-Defense will be provided by 42 Railguns and 22 slightly heavier Particle Cannons. Additionally the ship has 22 sideways firing missile tubes, 11 on each side and 200 Drone Weapons in 2 silos.
June 1957, month 138: Construction of the four X-106 completed, named [PRVS Missouri], [PRVS Iowa], [PRVS Nagasaki] and [PRVS Moskau Plaza]. In the Alterian Sector several new alien races have risen from obscurity with the defeat of the Drengin and retreat of the Yor from the sector. Most prominent among those appears to be a planet calling itself Terra which appears to be a 1:1 copy of Earth geographically and is inhabited by humans. They, calling themselves the "Terran Alliance", were luckily among the more peaceful races appearing though they seem surprised to learn that there are other human inhabited planets.
July 1957, month 139: Positioning of [PRVS Iowa] under the guise of [USS Iowa] successful on Earth. Cover story is for it to be a larger than before, experimental battleship. While it uses the guise of a American ship the vessel is fully manned by Viceroy inhabitants and does not answer to American command. The ship is also ordered to only act in the premise of the war to prevent nuclear strikes among the nations by shooting them down with drones. The 503rd legion of the Republic's Clone Trooper forces has been dispatched to Remnant to support the nation armed forces there. Exchange of force techniques between the Jedi and the "Huntsman" of Remnant has been green lighted by both sides.
August, September and October 1957, months 140 to 142: Skirmishes with unknown Goa'uld Forces with a insignia recognized as Toth, a Goa'uld scientist, ended with the capture of one of the unknown greater Goa'uld's labs. In it were found several less advanced examples of Alteran technology, including a, by Republic standards, primitive cloning device as well as a Goa'uld Queen in birthing cycle. The queen was taken to Viceroy to later provide Symbiotes to the Jaffa living there as their own are maturing. The lab was completely destroyed with only research notes being recovered.
September 1957, month 143 and eighth anniversary of the founding of the Republic was once more celebrated but the celebrations were interrupted as the parade fleet had to engage 20 advanced Ha'tak who had dropped out of Hyperspace. Luckily the shields protecting all inhabited areas of Viceroy and New Hiroshima as well as the shipyards were active and those forces who were able to land were confronted by all armed forces on the ground, including Darth Vader and the 501st legion. The invasion was a complete and utter massacre in other words and celebrations were continued after everyone returned to the festivities. No casualties other than in enemy Jaffa to be reported.
End of year report: Births: 271.588 (Viceroy), 569.882 (New Hiroshima), 10.212 (Jaffa), 9465 (Assorted Aliens). Total Population: Viceroy: 4.700.793, New Hiroshima: 2.951.064, 24.987 Jaffa over all, 222.112 assorted aliens on core worlds, 3.4 billion on Corelia, 2.7 million on Mon Calamari 4.1 billion (Mandalore), 4.3 billion (Kamiinoans)/28.987 (Clone Troopers), 6841 (Lantea), 2516 (Ilum), 8.1 billion (Naboo)

Planet Viceroy Year 13
XXXXXoooXXXXX
The celebrations to the 13th anniversary of Viceroy was started as usual on January of the new year. This marks also the first time when several Earth leaders didn't attend, including the president of the USA and the USSR. Reasons given appear to be unhappiness about Republic stances toward involving themselves in the ongoing, not quite further developing war on Earth and the landing of the [PRVS Nagasaki] as the Japanese battleship [Nagasaki], with the cover of being a gift to Japan to bolster their still recovering navy. Again the ship is manned exclusively with Viceroy personnel but with a Japanese background.
February 1958, month 146: Unrest in the Galactic Empire has been noted. Several rebel attacks against Imperial forces. Rebels were reported to use old bombers of the Galactic Republic as well as Clone Wars-Era fighters. Their only capitalships appear at this point to be privately owned Corellian Corvettes and converted freighters or other escorts. The Republic made a statement to the galactic Senate that the war was not to be taken into Republic space and that it would stand as a Neutral area, meaning that Imperial Forces had no jurisdication inside of it unless the rebels become a threat to the Republic as well. Encounters between Viceroy Republic forces and rebels however have been peaceful so far.
March 1958, month 147: To make Republic vessels easier to identifiable to Imperial forces all Corellian Corvettes of the Republic have been given red streaks on their hulls to mark them as such. It was made officially known that, should Rebel forces repaint their own ships in this way, it would be considered a act of war against the Republic and the Neutrality of Republic space would no longer protect fleeing Rebels from Imperial pursuit. Emperor Palpatine made a announcement that he was in agreement with the terms. Republic intelligence in the Empire suggests that the empire's rebel problem stems from suppression of non-human species and racist decisions of imperial forces.
April 1958, month 148: Construction of new warships has been suspended until further notice due to a fleet of 359 warships being deemed enough. All ships sent for refit from member worlds are refitted with limited Republic tech and full control over them is given to their constructor's homeworlds. Corellia has been given permission to sell Corvettes and other small warships to people regardless of them being known or suspected Rebels. The Emperator was unhappy about this but couldn't argue against the fact that the Republic isn't part of the conflict itself. Scouts in Imperial research facilities report however that the Empire is developing it's own super beam weapon, or rather has already started construction of a spacestation armed with this. Concerns about the Empire possibly planning to use it against the Republic have come up but due to no immediate threat it was decided not to interfere unless provoked.
May 1958, month 149: Final purchase agreement of 40 Venator-class Star Destroyer completed along with 80 Republic Artillery walkers and another 2 Star Destroyer-sized shipyards with each 4 berths, both transportable. The ships were brought to Viceroy for refit while the shipyards were taken to a mineral rich asteroid field in uncharted areas with no known civilizations. One of the Dreadnought shipyards was delegated to built a new ship, a Viceroy-built Cityship to help colonizing another planet.
June 1958 to October 1958, months 150 to 154: Asgard offered shipments of Trinium and Naquadah as well as assistance with beaming technology speed up construction of the cityship. The ship has been designed based mostly on [Lemuria] and [Atlantis] however while it features the spires of both the circumference of the ship is greater. A Atlantis-type cityship has a circumference on the widest points, of 7400 meters. The new cityship, after completion, has a circumference of 12.400 meters. Furthermore at the base of each tower cluster is a large, spherical base which will serve during flight as a armored area of the ship and will be airtight during the whole flight. The ship will still have a cityshield as powerful as those on the Alteran cityships but instead of 3 Inergia it is powered by 6 Inergia and a central, very large Neutrino Ion Generator with six back-up generators running on Naquadah. Furthermore the ship has been designed with the factory facilities of the Ithaka-class factory-ship.
November 1958, month 155: Celebrations to the ninth anniversary of the Republic marks also celebrations of the fourth official colony of Earth People with the landing of the Viceroy-built Super Cityship [PRVS Edo] on the uninhabited but resource rich planet {New Nagasaki], named like New Hiroshima for one of the Japanese cities destroyed at the end of WW2. 200 thousand colonists moved onto the new world and construction of orbital shipyards is already undergoing. The festivities to this and the anniversary were surprisingly attended for the first time by Emperor Palpatine who stated this was a sign of peace and faith that he, the Emperor, would come to such a far away world to celebrate it's government's anniversary.

Planet Viceroy Year 14
XXXXXoooXXXXX
January 1959, month 157 is the 14th anniversary of Viceroy's colonization. Several times did dignitaries of factions we have merely a truce with ask of who we are the colonies exactly but this was successfully deflected with claims of security. Emperor Palpatine was once again in attendance and was observed to enjoy Beer imported from Germany. Emperor Palpatine also has taken a young, German Boxer as a pet when he left it seems.
February 1959, month 158: During this month 21 attacks on Republic warships were reported by ships claimed to be rebels but were registered as Imperial warships instead. The Corellian Corvettes used during those attack bore the serial number beacon of ships recently sold to the empire and were manned by Stormtroopers when they were boarded. The Empire claims in turn that those were radicals who had gone against orders. It is very likely that the empire in fact tried to incite the Republic to fight the rebels as well but due to no concrete evidence and no losses of life on Republic side it was decided not to pursue those leads.
March 1959, month 159 since colonization: The Empire celebrates it's own tenth anniversary since the conversion from the Galactic Republic. Dignitaries of the People's Republic of Viceroy and it's member worlds visited, upon invitation, the imperial capital of Coruscant and the festivities there. Along with Republic members visited Supreme Commander Thor of the Asgard in his flagship, the Beliskner, traveling there by Hyperspace instead of the anomaly to show Asgard power. During the visit several minor factions approached the delegation to offer their system's production capabilities in exchange for protection as they appear not to be under imperial protection itself. After talks with spokesperson of the empire it was decided to accept the offers as those planets were tributary to the empire but not directly member worlds.
April to July 1959, months 160 to 163: On request of the Mandalorians a mock war was fought between Republic forces and Mandalorian warriors. The mock war included actual tanks of both sides however their ammunition and weaponry was replaced with "Intar" devices. Those can be placed into wherever a weapon would have it's power source or ammunition and will then fire disabling energy blasts from it. While the Mandalorians were unhappy about non-lethal warfare they agreed that it would be unwise to kill each other. The Mandalorian leader was after a crushing defeat very happy about the prize for the loser: The Art of War, by Tsun Tzu.
August 1959, month 164: Missouri-class battlecruiser [PRVS Moskau Plaza] has been landed on Earth under the premise of a "Purchase" of a Missouri-class battleship. It is hoped that tensions may lessen if both of the mayor sides of the conflict have one of the battlecruisers with a name of their nation present. Demands by the USSR for the [Moskay Plaza] to be handed over however proved this step to be ineffective to stop further conflicts. To quote the Viceroy Daily, a Viceroy based newspaper: "Those countries are older than our Republic by a couple centuries. Yet this journalist cannot help but feel like we are the babysitter of some very violent and spoiled children." While very crass, it is a opinion echoed by many in the Republic.
September 1959, month 165: On request of Lord Yu the Republic has once again engaged Sokar's forces in a battle above the planet Nun-Siknar, a Yu controlled world with Chinese descended humans. The world is already heavily industrialized and lord Sokar has been attacking other Systemlords repeatedly recently. Sokar proved to be one of the most inventive Goa'uld among the Systemlords as his Ha'tak not only fielded cannons with twice the firing rate, twice the accuracy and twice the power, but also doubled his shields and fielded Ha'tak with, you guessed it, twice as many cannons. The fleet of 50 Ha'tak was completely destroyed and lord Yu, in thanks, sent 500 thousand tons of refined Naquadah as it saved him some of his mayor mines and shipyards.
October 1959, month 166: Fatal reactor failure on [PRVS Altera], [PRVS Nagara], [PRVS Bauru] and [PRVS Sollum]. All four ships (Altera-class Frigates) were destroyed after a meltdown of the primary reactors. Cause of this has been concluded to be their age which is dated to be over 30 thousand years, having been completed automatically a few months after the Alteran exodus to Pegasus. All other Altera-class Frigates from this time period have been investigated and their reactors replaced. Number of casualties: 53 crewmembers. Reports indicate that the engineering had found out about the meltdown and the crews were already being evacuated by the time the reactors exploded. Among the casualties were the bridge crews of the four ships as well as 5 security teams.
September 1959, month 167: Along with the tenth anniversary of the Republic was the construction of a new line of armed transports, the Golden Age-class transports. With a length of 400 meters they can carry more than 60 times as much as the much smaller Gaggle-class transports. Armed with more weapons for defense the ships are modular to allow transport of both troops, goods or passengers with only light modifications to the interior. 14 ships of this new class have been constructed between June and September of this year.

January 1960, the 169th month since colonization, marks both the 15th anniversary of the founding of Viceroy but also the completed refit of the 40 Venator-class Star Destroyer, relabeled Venator-class Starcruiser, by the Viceroy Republic. The warships were outfitted with 10 heavy Particle Cannons, 40 medium ones, 12 heavy Ion cannons, 2 Mass Driver and 2 Artillery Walkers installed as permanent beam weapons. Armor and shields were completely replaced and the ships were turned into full on carriers with their capability as troop transports retained. 2 of the not named warships took part in the parade of the anniversary while the rest was sent on the first Republic committed invasion of another planet. By doing so they sized one five of Sokar's largest mining and shipyard planets, capturing all ships on the ground. Control of the planets was given to Lord Yu as a gift of friendship to honor the by now long standing partnership between his own territory and the Republic. Lord Ra's comment to this was the following: "You crippled Sokar's forces? Why did it take so long?" He appears not too bothered by this and will probably not retaliate in defense of Sokar.
The rest of 1960 went uneventful with no further conflicts or the construction of further ships to be reported. Festivities in November were once again attended by far more people than normally expected

The 16th anniversary of Viceroy's settling in January 1961 marks the 181st month since Viceroy was colonized. During the festivities it was announced that another 2 Missouri-class battlecruiser and another 2 Hagi-class battlecruiser were under construction to replace the Altera-class Frigates lost in October of 1959. This is both a show of stability by the Republic toward other powers as well as a show of the Republic's industrial might.
February 1961, month 182: Due to a lack of other projects the construction of the new ships was sped up rapidly by deploying all construction drones in the shipyards to them as well as directing much of the resources available to it. The first of the Missouri-class and the first of the Hagi-class battlecruiser have both been completed in the forms of [PRVS Rhineland] and [PRVS Burgundy] respectively. Trials for both ships were committed in the Pegasus Galaxy against several Wraith Hiveships in shock-assaults.
March 1961 month 183: During a chance encounter between a exploration team from Atlantis encountered a culture in the Pegasus Galaxy with technology roughly on par with Earth during the "Great War of Europe" or the first World War. The Genii, who use the cover of being a agricultural society to avoid the Wraith, were interested in purchasing heavy water to prepare nuclear bombs to be used against all hives once they go into hybernation. When explained that the Republic is already waging a active war against the Wraith, who hadn't yet gone into hibernation, and were successfully stopping them from further feeding the Genii were surprised. They, however, declined joining the Republic as a aligned government but agreed to have several planets guarded by battlegroups of the Republic. Shortly after several Task Forces, including a Venator-class starcruiser on each world, as well as 40.000 soldiers with Anti-Air concentrated defenses were put into place, several attempted raids by Wraith had to be repelled.
April 1961, month 184: Completion of the second Missouri-class and Hagi-class cruisers completed in the forms of [PRVS München] and [PRVS Sumatra]. This brings the total number of capitalships under command of the Republic's navy to 399, not including cityships or ships under control of member governments. After eight years of peace the colonies have created a new type of battlestar in the form of the Mercury-class battlestar. The first ship of this class, the battlestar [Mercury] was put into service to replace the aging battlestar [Athena]. [Athena] on the other hand was given to the Republic as a gift and will be undergoing a complete refit to Republic standards.
May 1961, month 185: Refit of battlestar [Athena] completed. Her dorsal and pectoral heavy main cannons were replaced in favor of 8 Heavy Dual Particle Cannons, her secondary weapons were replaced with 44 Medium Particle Cannons and the tertiary/AA cannons along her flightpods and main hull were replaced with 144 light particle cannons and 78 light Ion cannons. Lastly a Langraran Beam Cannon was installed into her forward hull/alligator head as a primary weapon. Trials of the refitted battlestar saw action against a fleet of 20 Ha'tak under lord Sokar's control which were destroyed completely with no damage to the Athena's hull to be reported.
June to August 1961, months 186 to 188: First Goa'uld Attack against the 12 colonies of Kobol. Systemlord Sokar sent 20 Ha'tak of the same enhanced type as before, to the colonies. A Republic task force was quick to assemble but by the time the attack had been repelled several construction slips of the colonies, 12 Battlestars of them 3 Galactica-class battlestars like the [Athena] with 7 Valkyrie-class battlestars and 2 pre-war Caprica-class battlestars being destroyed. Additionally the battlestars [Mercury] and [Galactica] were damaged in the attack. In retaliation the republic made a example on Sokar by destroying all of his shipyards simultaneously by orbital bombardment and ambushing several of his fleets. The weeks following this Sokar lost about 39% of his territory to rival Goa'uld including Heru'ur, Apophis and lord Yu.
September and October 1961, months 189 and 190: Aid efforts to the Colonies of Kobol are ongoing. Several infrastructural important points on Picon, Caprica and Scorpia were hit by orbital bombardment. Jaffa troops landed inbetween the start of the attack and the repelling of the fleet have been taken down by the 3rd of September but the colonial fleet, still reeling from the Cylon War, took a heavy hit due to the attack. After several talks between colonies and the Republic it was decided to implement a interstellar trade system to allow the colonies to purchase Republic-built starships. After all agreements were done it come that 1 ton of Naquadah would be 100 "Credits", a purely digital currency, with 1 ton of steel being 1 Credit and similar exchange rates. With 500 tons of Naquadah, 400 tons of Trinium (50 Credits per ton) and 3000 tons of steel (73.000 Credits in total) they purchased 4 Mon Calamari Starcruiser (1.5k credits each) and 10 Corellian Cruiser (400 meters long, 1000 credits each) as well as a refit of their remaining fleet with Republic grade weaponry.
November 1961, month 191: During the 12th anniversary festivities lord Ra made it clear that Sokar has been removed from his position among the Systemlords and in fact offered a trade of 50 Ha'tak in exchange for Jump technology to the colonies. This trade was accepted due to the colonies needing the reinforcements and the first 10 Ha'tak arrived in the colonies and, while they were of a older technological level than most, the Republic agreed to upgrade them with no additional cost. 20 Battlestar-grade Jump Drives were on the other hand given to Ra's faction.

Planet Viceroy Year 17
XXXXXoooXXXXX
January 1962, month 193, marks the 17th anniversary of Viceroy's colonization. Again it is noted that dignitaries of Earth have been missing from the festivities, more than before that is. It appears the ongoing conflict causes the countries involved with Viceroy to avoid traveling to the festivities those days. A attempt to board the [PRVS Moskau Plaza] was stopped by the security personnel on site. Perpetrator was the USSR formed northern government of Korea who wanted to capture the powerful warship for themselves. It is unclear whether this was provoked by the USSR or not.
February 1962, month 194: First 10 Ha'tak under Colonial control have been refitted and returned to the colonies. They were followed by the delivery of the first MC-60 starcruiser which had the colonial navy sign emblazoned onto it's side as well as the first Corellian Cruiser. The next batch of Ha'tak has been brought to Viceroy for refit and Jump Drives have been delivered as well.
March 1962, month 195: Bravo Mobile, a private company, has purchased a batch of 40 construction drones and enlisted 50 Cylon Centurions as construction workers. They are the first civilian company to built a civilian starship in the form of the Seventh Heaven-class starliner (60 meters). Reestablishment of a currency has been noted necessary to promote such a civilian growth but it was decided to exclude food provision from it so that there is no need to scramble for that.
From April to October everything this year was calm other than the delivery of another MC-60 starcruiser, refit of the next 10 Ha'tak and delivery of 2 more corellian cruiser to the colonies. Festivities in November at the 204th month since colonization to honor the 13th anniversary of the Republic were calm and as expected. Jedi Younglings participated in a tournament during the festivities to show their skills, observed by older Jedi who would take Padawan among them as they saw fit. New Nagasaki come under attack by the unknown Goa'uld at the end of November but the opponent was easily repelled by on-site forces and the cityship [PRVS Edo] with her Drone Weapons.

Planet Viceroy Year 18
XXXXXoooXXXXX
January 1963, month 205, marks the 18th anniversary of the planet Viceroy and also the first official attempt by a Earth nation to take a Republic starship. USSR forces attempted on the 12th of this month to board and take control of the [PRVS Nagasaki], using their ongoing conflict with America as a cover to take the starship. Enemy forces were repelled however and the [PRVS Montanna] was sent into Earth Orbit above Moskau to remind the Soviet Union whose ship they actually tried to board there. Soviet president Stalin was taken onto the [Montanna] and brought to Viceroy for talks about the conduct of his government when facing the Republic and was reminded that the only reason the Republic hadn't taken Earth by force by this point, thanks to Mandalore they would have the forces for it, was that they didn't wish to do so. By the time he returned Stalin gave a official apology to Japan and, in turn, the Republic for the attempt to take the "Missouri-class SSB". Earth media were puzzling for years to come about this turn of events.
February 1963, month 206: A wealthy private group purchased 2 MC-60 starcruiser. Both ships, enhanced by open market standards of the Republic, were later used in a large-scale attack on Kuat Driveyards along with several Corellian Corvettes known to be Rebel vessels. Despite the empires claims of Republic taking the side of the rebels the Republic was able to repel those claims with proof of those who bought the ships not being known rebels. Imperial investments into the project have been increasing alarmingly.
March 1963, month 207: On a standard patrol a Alteran-class cruiser encountered a large structure of unknown origin. The ship, cloaking before being detected, found that the moon-sized spacestation is the mysterious project the Emperor had been working on. Retrieving data from within the weapon platform identifies it as a "Death Star" and has revealed that the station is, in fact, one of two being built. The second, later begun Death Star, is on a unknown location. Upon publicly asking Emperor Palpatine what he plans to do with a superweapon designed to be able to destroy planets he claimed it to be meant for mining. Upon being asked how the Republic knew of it or it's codename the ambassador answered that a Alteran-class cruiser encountered it and, as it had no imperial IFF, investigated. The stations continued existence being proof that not much more was done. Despite Palpatine's claims unrest in the empire increases with the revelation of such a weapon being in the hands of a government known for it's brutality.
April to August 1963, months 208 to 212: The imperial navy has announced the construction of a Dreadnought by the name [Executor] to be completed. The starship, clocking in on 17 kilometers length, is called a "Super Star Destroyer" of the Executor-class and appears to be a show of might by the empire. The ship features many improvements over regular Star Destroyer, however also all of their weaknesses such as ineffective shielding, barely any PD guns and a far too large hull compared to the amount of gunners needed to maintain it. Not to mention no automation or networking of gun batteries. The two shipyards that were placed into asteroid fields in the Milky Way galaxy in 1958 announced the completion of 24 new Montanna-class Stardreadnoughts which had been commissioned to the automated systems. All ships were created in the divided construction berths and represent the largest amount of resource usage to date other than the cityship [Edo]. 2 of them were put in charge of the fleets in the Imperial Galaxy as a show of force of the Republic, to show the empire that we aren't afraid of their own dreadnoughts. The other 22 ships were distributed throughout Republic space with 4 of them in the Pegasus Galaxy to assist the fleets there.
September 1963, month 213: Senator Mon Mothma declares her leave from the Galactic Senate and rallies rebels under her flag. Public unrest is high in the republic due to a divide in opinion on how to proceed in the foreign galaxy. On one hand, most of all among those members native to said galaxy, they want to support the "Alliance to Restore the Republic", aka: The Rebel Alliance. The other side wishes to stay neutral, not wishing to engage the galactic empire or side with them due to their untrustworthy nature.
October 1963, month 214: The Republic has made a official statement: We will remain neutral until provoked by either side but both are welcome to purchase warships from Republic member worlds. This surprisingly resulted in multiple Rebel factions purchasing large quantities of the new Corellian cruiser. The Empire on the other hand didn't do so, intelligence suggesting that they wish to not show weakness by taking in help from the Republic. Despite all this both sides continue to request aid from the Republic against the other.
September 1963, month 215: First time since the first celebration of the Republic's anniversary saw Darth Vader or any Imperial for that matter, attend the festivities on any of the Republic worlds. Mandalorians have asked for permission to side with the rebels on their own without involving the Republic and response to this was that Mandalore, while a member of the Republic, still maintains it's own military and thus is free to do with it as it wishes. When a army of 5000 Mandalorians borded a pair of imperial Star Destroyer of the newest generation, went on a rampage with it at Kuat and then joined the Rebel Alliance, it was asked what we had been thinking telling them that. The response was: "This is Space Sparta, no way we could stop them without losing the planet." Due to Mandalore acting on it's own account and the Republic not expelling the planet, the empire was forced to accept that, yes, Mandalore goes to war. With a lot of new gadgets.

"Okay, we need to get it together. Knows anyone whose damn colony that Viceroy planet is?" Asked Ra, frustration written all over his face as, despite years of interacting with the PRV, they still had no idea what their planet of origin actually was. It was like a slap in the face that some backwater world colonized randomly a planet with a literal treasure trove of ancient technology.
"I have my suspicions, but that may just be a coincidence." Answered Yu, his definitely younger host looking quite a lot better than before. Perhaps it was also just because the Goa'uld within and the host itself were clones of the original, having replaced the mind of Yu into the new Goa'uld symbiote. From what they could tell his mind had been free'd of a lot of the mental polution his age had given him.
"And what would that be?" Asked Ra, turning to his brother and one of the oldest Goa'uld still alive, one of the last who still remembered the first ruler of their race.
"Well, there is only one planet were people of so many different kinds would be found to then colonize one planet. The world from which all of those we rule come from." Stated Yu and everyone stilled at what he was suggesting. "In other words, I believe Viceroy and New Nagasaki, to be colonies of the Tau'ri. Also, one of my own scouts during a standard fly by of the planet noticed three of those "Missouri-class" battlecruiser to be stationed there, acting as if they were naval warships." Explained Yu and whispers rang out among the younger.
Ra's eyes glowed, indignation written on his face. Of all the planets, it had to be the Tau'ri who made the leap of their own! His pride was still hurt from when the primitives had driven him off the planet in rebellion, but to hear that they had created the most powerful faction living in this galaxy...
"I am impressed lord Yu, I thought I was the only one making that connection." Come the aristocratic and oily voice of Ba'al then, and why was Ra even surprised he had suspected the same? "To be honest, seeing that most of their heavier warships and flagships are named after places on the Tau'ri homeworld, it was just natural." Noted the lord of pragmatism.
Ra groaned as he realized this. On every occasion he encountered them on ships they would state class and name of the ship they were in command of unless they were Corellian Corvettes, those had no names individually. "Okay, then to make this clear: Earth is FUCKING! OFF! LIMITS!" He shouted, slamming his hand on the table as he glared at anyone to protest. They couldn't afford a war against the Republic!

February 1964, month 218: Final strike against Sokar. After besieging his capital planet along with 20 Ha'tak, the 21st Clone Battalion captured Sokar and delivered him to Yu. Control of the planet was given to lord Yu as he is the closest to a ally the Republic has among the Systemlords. New contact with the Tok'ra on a dessert world a off-world team had explored. After explaining the situation between Goa'uld Empire and Viceroy Republic the Tok'ra weren't happy to hear of the Republic's support of Yu but were understandable toward the reasoning. After offering them to make a Tok'ra queen by taking the genetic markers of one of those and making a clone of a Tok'ra member, as well as providing them with sufficient clones to give those members in Stasis all new bodies, they offered their own spy network.

"Okay, this is seriously getting us nowhere." Growled Palpatine as he glared at the reports that had come in about the Rebel Alliance's usage of larger capitalships after they gained significant amounts of funding through their now unified organization.
Vader, who stood not far from him, had a aura of grim agreement around him. "Yes my master, as it stands the rebels may actually become a threat." Agreed Vader, knowing full well that the empire may have serious problems thanks to this.
"It would be so much easier if that damned Republic from that other galaxy didn't sell them ships! They would never pose a threat if not for those enhanced warships!" Shouted Palpatine, mad in anger about this. He would never know that, regardless of whether the Republic had done so or not, he would lose the civil war.
And thus another meeting between the emperor and his right hand man went fruitless.
XXXXXoooXXXXX
March 1964, month 219: Emperor Palpatine has sent a formal complain about Republic planets doing business or outright cooperating with, the rebels. The answer of the Republic was simple: We are not allies, we are not really friends, we are at best friendly acquaintances. Business is business, regardless of with who we do it. Emperor Palpatine has, according to reports, hung up after releasing a ear shattering scream of rage. Later Darth Vader called again and apologized for Palpatine's behavior before asking if he could attend the anniversary fests again as his man are complaining about not going there anymore.
April 1964, month 220: Rebel purchases: 10 Corellian Corvettes, 4 Corellian cruiser.
May 1964, month 221: Scientists were able to invent a new form of weapon in the form of a actual particle beam. This weapon, based on the principles of the Alteran particle cannon, fires a beam of energy at the enemy instead of just firing blasts of energy at the enemy vessel. Modifications to already existing weapons are easily done by beam technology, as such it was not needed for fleets to return into shipyards to have the upgrades done. This actually unlocked several new technological hints to other technologies in the database.
June 1964, month 222: Nothing to report.
July 1964, month 223: Nothing to report.
August 1964, month 224: Pirate Raid against a fighter research center of the Empire in assistance of the Rebellion. Stolen data included 4 prototype Interceptor and research data on advanced spacefighters. Same month seveeral scientists were free'd from the Empire by the rebellion who had worked on the fighters, now labeled X-Wing starfighter, as they were being transported to Kessel, a prison planetoid.
September 1964, month 225: Scientists manage to use hints from the technology development tree in the database to create a improved Hyperdrive capable of reaching relative speeds of 500.000 times the speed of light. First contact with a Pegasus civilization from the time of the Alteran inhabitation: The Asurans. While in structure identical to the Replicators the Asurans could be reasoned with. After negotiations for access to the database of Atlantis as well as the same deal as given to the Cylons they handed over 12 of the Numera-class battleships, albeit not aware of the ship's original purpose.
October 1964, month 226: Last Replicator nest destroyed in the Ida galaxy. 4 Bilskirnir-class ships handed over to the Republic by the Asgard for assistance in the fight. All four ships were enhanced by and later freed from Replicators, making them more efficient and powerful than ships built around the same time.
November 1964, month 227: Viceroy welcomed for it's 15th anniversary as a Republic once more Darth Vader and the 501st legion as well as, surprisingly, Mon Mothma who had requested to be allowed to the festivities. All sides were informed that Viceroy is a neutral ground to the civil war and any attack on another party would be treated as a act of war against the Republic. Thus it come that lord Vader and Mon Mothma held a actually very polite discussion about the flaws of the empire over a bowl of liquor.

Planet Viceroy Year 20
XXXXXoooXXXXX
January 1965, month 229: Festivities to the 20th anniversary of Viceroy proceeded uneventful and as planned.
February 1966, month 230: Scientist developed a device that, once planted into a large enough field of asteroids, will attach itself to a planetoid and feed off the resources of the asteroid field to construct a cityship or similarly large construct. Energy would be provided by six Inergia and while it would have to be guarded it would not need a large space in any shipyards. The first such device, labeled a "World Seed" for the moment, was placed in a asteroid field 20 lightyears from Viceroy to construct a Edo-class cityship. The device's construction capabilities come mainly from nanite technology based on the Replicators but with a limited replication order to construct only so many as is needed to create the construct and to destroy themselves by constructing each other into parts of the city once completion is approaching.
March 1965, month 231: Yor resurgence in the Alterian Sector forces renewed Republic efforts. Additionally a new race known as the "Snathy" come out of nowhere, declaring themselves the heirs of the Dreadlords who, after their defeat, committed genocidal suicide within a week. The Snathy somehow captured a enhanced warship of the Terran Alliance and and reengineered some of the technology. They also made a pact with the Drengin who broke the Treaty of Three Planets by revealing that they had been building a new fleet of 200 battleships.
April 1965, month 232: First Viceroy-born commander of a starship inaugurated: Kurosaki Misaka takes command of the [PRVS Musashi] with the rank of captain.
May 1965, month 233: [PRVS Musashi] encounters a unknown race in a large, cubic starship. The unknowns, not speaking a language known to us, come out of a anomaly which spewed particles with a strange quantum signature. They were pursuing a much smaller ship but after the larger ship was destroyed by the [Musashi's] Wave-Motion-Cannon the anomaly vanished. The smaller ship was tugged back to Viceroy with the surviving crew, all of which infested with nanites of some sort which were taken care off, being brought right away to the intensive care ward. It is estimated that they may stay unconscious for a while to recover from the attempted cybernetic alterations. Also, while a mayority of the crew was human, there were at least 20 different unknown species found aboard of the starship saved by [PRVS Musashi], all of which appear humanoid in physique.
June 1965, month 234: North Korean agents once again attempt to capture [PRVS Moskau Plaza, failing once again. USSR once again denies involvement in the attempt.
July 1965, month 235: Minor skirmishes against Snathy, Drengin and Yor forces.
August 1965, month 236: Database of the Starship has been decoded. The ship, [USS Liberty], is a Galaxy-class starship of a government calling itself the "United Federation of Planets". This federation appears to be in another universe as evidenced by a foreign Quantum signature of all matter from there. Technology of that civilization has been downloaded onto the database for further study.
September 1965, month 237: Another encounter with the as of yet unnamed species in the cube-like starships. The two ships encountered come out of a anomaly once more but seemed disorientated. Both were destroyed after they tried to use a Tractorbeam on the [PRVS Montanna].
October 1965, month 238: Surprisingly calm and nothing to report this month.
November 1965, month 239: Anniversary festivities were uneventful, however it was noted that Darth Vader didn't attend, the same with the 501st legion despite having announced plans to do so.
End of year report: Births: 1523 (Viceroy), 2235 (New Hiroshima), 2813 (Jaffa), 1005 (Assorted Aliens), 35 (New Nagasaki).

Omake 1: Babysitter Viceroy-chan
XXXXXoooXXXXX
If anyone was to ask the People's Republic of Viceroy to say how she imagined her second visit to the UN as well as her first visit with her younger sisters... she didn't think there would be a boxing ring set up in the middle of the room with USA on one side where Japan was coaching him, and Russia on the other where North Korea was polishing iron rings for him to put on. To the side bets were made between other nations on who would win the fight.
Lucky for Earth, there was a new Superpower. "Stop right there!" Shouted Viceroy, making everyone flinch as her voice had gained some weight to it. Since her last visit ten years ago, Viceroy had grown. Now appearing roughly 14 years old she had gained both power, territory and maturity. She was a teenager, sure, but that was pretty much a adult already!
New Hiroshima flinched on her end, hiding behind the taller girl. "Nee-chan is in Gunboat mode." Muttered the shy planet while Lantea and New Nagasaki looked on confused.
"Ah, Viceroy-san. You finally return?" Asked Japan, currently massaging USA's shoulders.
"Yes and you guys give a bad example to my little sisters!" Exclaimed the young nation and everyone turned to the three girls with her.
New Hiroshima was a bespectacled, shy girl of approximately 12 years. She wore the same uniform as Viceroy but had more Japanese features with long black hair and dark brown eyes. Of note was that she was clutching a stuffed animal looking like some Anime character.
Lantea on the other hand looked a lot like Viceroy, both being colonies made on old Alteran colonies. As such the little girl of 10 had long blonde hair, gray eyes and wore casual clothes. However, she also seemed a bit more hyper than even Viceroy had been ten years ago.
The fourth planet present and also the smallest was New Nagasaki. Standing at the height of a 7 year old the girl resembled New Hiroshima with her Japanese features. However she wasn't as nervous looking and had brown hair instead of black while she was only restrained by her hand being held by New Hiroshima.
"Ah, I see you brought some more with you. But I was under the impression there would only be two more." Noted USA, standing up as he decided it would be a bad idea to irritate the multi-galactic powerhouse.
"We expanded. May I introduce New Nagasaki? My youngest sister and second colony of the Republic? I would have brought some of the other member worlds but they were busy." Explained Viceroy, a lot more confident and with a lot more purpose than before.
"Well, things must be going well if you expand." Noted France as he had a lunch of French toast and croissants with him.
Viceroy sighed, taking a seat with her sisters before answering: "Well, here in the Milky Way it is pretty well going. We managed to get some friends in the Pegasus Galaxy and the Dreadlord Empire has been pretty much knocked out. But now there is a civil war raging in the Galactic Empire and both the "Alliance to Restore the Republic" as well as the Empire would like to have us on their side. Then there is the Yor who have restarted hostilities, the Snathy who claim themselves the Dreadlord's heirs, though I have no clue where they got the squirrels from, and who helped the Drengin return to somewhat of a threat." Explained Viceroy, sounding tired from all this.
"Wait, isn't the empire evil? Why aren't you siding with the good guys?" Asked USA, sitting down on his own chair since his big fight with Russia was pretty much canceled by the presence of the colony.
"Why? Because we still have a treaty with the Empire. Unless they openly declare war on us we won't do anything. But if the fact that they are building two moon-sized spacestations with planet-destroying superlasers seems to indicate that won't hold long. We naturally have plans in such a case. If the Empire strikes at us we will retaliate by destroying the first "Death Star". Simultaneously the two Montanna-class dreadnoughts stationed in the galaxy will launch attacks against Kuat, capturing the planet." Explained Viceroy and everyone let out a whistle in appreciation of that plan.
"Good plan. Kuat is the planet where they have their largest shipyards, isn't it?" Noted Britain intrigued by this fact.
"Yup, it is actually the only shipyard where they can built their largest warships so it may give them a shortage of those after a while. Perhaps it will be enough to force them to the negotiation table again and if not... well we can always hunt their fleets down and blow their stuff up." Explained Viceroy, shrugging nonchalantly and all present nations remembered the reports of the last conflict between the Galactic Empire and the, back then, very young and small Republic.
"So, aside of that, do you know what Galactic Empire thinks? Or do they even have nation embodiments like us?" Asked Japan, wondering about that.
Viceroy shrugged though. "Well, not really a Galactic Empire, but I guess mister Coruscant is pretty close because he is their capital, just like me. And I haven't talked with him much since the last colonization anniversary because last November no one from the Empire come. But last I heard he is pretty tired of Palpatine because he liked being the Galactic Republic much more." Explained Viceroy and the others nodded, they knew the feeling, all of them had some boss in the past who was really terrible. Especially the Axis nations.
"Anyway, there is some good news, we kicked Sokar's butt out of power! We couldn't occupy his planets for ourselves because it would be pretty stupid to try and stretch ourselves so much, but lord Yu is a good second since we are friends!" Explained Viceroy with a smile while the others felt less happy.
"Well, perhaps we could give you some troops. Pretty sure you are a bit short on troops." Suggested China but Viceroy gave him a incredulous look.
"Mister China, you realize I have what amounts to planet Sparta, right? The Mandalorians have a population of about 4.4 billion, and about 4.2 billion of those would pay in planetoids worth of raw resources just to get into the first wave of invasion dropships. And the 200 million who wouldn't are simply too young by our standards." Stated Viceroy and everyone blanched at the idea. This was ridiculous! So many armed forces on one planet?
Egypt then coughed into her hand and stated: "Well, since we will probably get reports of the last ten years soon anyway I suggest we discuss other matters now." With that everyone dropped the topic of Viceroy's war preparations.
However America, Russia and their respective allies made a note not to piss off Viceroy, the girl had not only the largest territory but also the largest amount of armed forces among the Earth nations.

Omake 2: Servant Republic
XXXXXoooXXXXX
"A hundred Assassins... that is quite a split personality disorder." Noted the tiny form of Rider while everyone else tensed up upon seeing the mass of Servants.
"Rider, it would be a good idea I think not to joke around with this." Noted her master with trepidation as the girl stood up. At roughly 13 years of physical age she didn't make a very imposing figure next to the kings. She herself claimed to be the "King of Stars", though she was most of the time joking.
"Oh don't worry master, I am sure we can negotiate a bit." Noted Rider with a smile before standing up and holding up the glass filled with the high-quality, foreign beverage. "Listen everyone, if you want to sit with us, be my guest! There is nothing better than if everyone-" She was interrupted as a thrown knife suddenly destroyed the glass she had been holding, spilling it's contents over her.
The girl stilled at that, her shirt covered in the liquid as she lowered her arm. "Fine, just like with Sokar, the Wraith and the Dreadlords, I guess negotiations fail me again." Noted the girl, her voice suddenly growing solemn, very different from before.
"King of knights, king of heroes, tell me, what do you think a true leader must be, to be a king?" Asked Rider, her power suddenly exploding outward.
Saber braced herself against the winds, flinching. "A king must stand above his people, leading them as the sovereign!" She answered, the wind intensifying and, as she blinked, she was surprised that Rider no longer sat there in short pants, flipflops and a stained t-shirt with the picture of a being called "Pikachu" on the front. Instead she wore the strange uniform she had worn when she had run over Berserker in that cylindrical device.
"Wrong, a king, a ruler, must unite his people. He must care for all and defend them to his dying breath! Only those who conquer the hearts of their people can be truly the unifying force they need!" Declared Rider as a blinding light suddenly enveloped all of them.
When they could see again they were no longer in the garden they had met at. No, they were in a strange, steel room with many seated humans and a central chair. "Ma'am, star dreadnought [PRVS Montanna] ready to fight." Reported one of the man, who wore the same uniform as the Servant and everyone realized that there was a large viewport in front of them. However, instead of seeing the sea or something like this, they saw stars.
Out in front of them was the void of space, stars glittering in the distance. But the most important, visible before them were hundreds of ships with skulls on them. "Thank you admiral, hail the enemy!" She declared and on the holographic tactical map appeared a line that indicated that it was the sound depicting graphic.
"Assassin, Hundred Faced Hassan, whatever you call yourself. I am Viceroy, capital planet of the People's Republic of Viceroy, the multi-galactic government fielding the most powerful fleet known to man. I give you one chance to surrender before my Noble Phantasm, the Montanna-class Star Dreadnought [PRVS Montanna] will commence battle. You have currently starships based on your power, but against the power of this ship you stand no chance." She stated and everyone's eyes widened when they realized what she had just said.
"Y- you are a planet?" Asked Saber in shock and everyone's jaws dropped, including Archer's at that.
"Not quite, I am the embodiment of a nation, my country's strength is mine and all military assets are my Noble Phantasm. This is the S-Rank Anti-World Noble Phantasm that I, Viceroy, am capable of summoning: Republic Fleet." She announced and everyone felt horror at that.
Then energy bolts flew from the fleet in front of them, the embodiments of Assassin. "Enemy vessels have commenced firing. Damage to the shields is neglegible even for prolonged time." Reported one of the man, a Servant on his own it seemed, and Viceroy sighed.
"Fine then, fire every weapon aboard!" Declared Viceroy and the next moment the vacuum of space lit up like midday as thousands of energy bolts shot from above and below their view. From compartments in the hull projectiles shot and massive beams of energy lanced out from underneath and above the hull, decimating groups of ships.
To put it bluntly, the 4 seconds it took for the first volley to reach Assassin's fleet were the probably last seconds of the Servant. The entire fleet was completely vaporized within seconds.
Waver Velvet on his part was jumping in joy. He didn't summon Iksander, but this was a lot more powerful!

So, here ends the Omake section.
Now, to answer some things that may confuse people.
First of all: Yes, Borg Cubes were curbstomped and the crew of a Federation Starship was saved from them. How you may ask, right? The answer is simple: Hagi-class and Missouri-class battlecruiser are armed with weapons that, in style, look like the Wave-Motion-Gun of Space Battleship Yamato when fired. They however fire concentrated beams of exotic particles only found in Wormholes at the enemy. Those Particle are as destructive as a Unstable Vortex of a Stargate. The imploding thing is from the particles, once in the enemy vessel, lacking a actual wormhole to which they can return and will then generate one. This will however be one leading only into subspace, dragging matter with them. Borg Cubes are powerful, by Star Trek standards. Thing is, Unstable Vortex proved capable of killing Ori Motherships, and they have no way of knowing how to defend against such a weapon. If you wonder how they can counter Borg nanites: They have access to Alteran tech, no way do the Borg have superior nanites.
Next, timeline relative to Star Wars: 1965 corresponds to the 16th year since the Empire's creation. From what I know Episode 4 is set 17 years after Episode 3, as such the Death Star will be completed by the next chapter. Thus the war is heating up. As to the thing with the X-Wings, that is taken out of Star Wars: Empire at War, a RTS game based on the Star Wars universe. I know among the timeline the following of this: The theft happened before the Death Star was constructed but after the Alliance was formed.
The plans if the empire strikes at Republic assets mentioned in the Omake, by the way, is actually what they plan to do. Taking out the primary shipyards of the enemy, thus cutting off their ability to built Star Destroyer and Super Star Destroyer as only Kuat has the shipyards for this other than the Republic. Kuat is also too valuable to use the Death Star on it.
Regarding the Snathy: They are a DLC mayor race and before occasionally were generated as a minor race. They were created according to in-game lore by the Dreadlords as some kind of biological weapon. Don't ask me how I explain the space squirrels at this point, honest. The Alterian Sector will also be rather unimportant as I have no access to more names of races from GalCiv3 as I have no internet at this point in time.
Regarding the name of the first cityship built by the Republic: Edo was the name of the fortress that the Shogun who ultimately unified Japan built. The thing is placed, from what I know, where modern Tokyo is and was apparently a massive construct by the time's standards.
Finally: Why can the rebels use Mon-Cal cruiser if they don't have Mon Calamari Member? Simple, the warship variant has long been altered for use by Republic forces, who are still to 80-90% human only. As such their warship line of Mon-Cal Cruiser, specifically what is referred to as MC-60-class starcruiser, have a human friendly control design rather than the Mon Calamari specific controls. Those ones also aren't just cruise ships that were repurposed in this case but were directly built for war. As such they have all the modules changed for it and
And finally: Ra may appear more reasonable here than in the Pilot film because, frankly? He is seriously frightened of the Republic. He knows what they can do, they are the closest to being on par with the Asgard their galaxy has to his knowledge. So naturally he avoids antagnozing them. I mean, look what they did to Sokar!
Well, and that is about all I have for this chapter. See you later Alligator!
