History of Imperium-1
Part 1:Ashes and Ruin-Fall of First Imperium.
"Centuries before, we are crushed by our ancient enemies. They broke our proud nation and burned our Beautiful Motherland into ruin."
-Part of Sankt Kaiser Sophia Augustina's Inauguration speech.
Elephants lives long, and die slowly and painfully.
Most Historian agrees that First Imperium are begin to decline at Terran Year 1264. Imperium was(and are)Multiracial Nation Include Midchildan(60% of total population), a old rival of Belkan. For seven centuries, midchildan are mount resistance against the rule of Belkan Sankt Kaisers, And for seven centuries, belkan are crushed the Midchildan rebellion, assassinated the leaders of Resistance. However, despite the best efforts of Belkan, they can't simply crush the rebellion:they are too numerous. And Belkan population are much lower than midchildan. It also brought the Imperium a bigger enemy:Financial trouble.
For Two centuries, Imperium are slowly crumble. Most of Imperial fleet that guarded the outer systems are disbanded because of financial trouble. Many planets are become semi-independence. And Imperium are begin to die slowly... until the fateful day of Terran year 1570.
Disaster struck-Massacre of loyal family.
July 10th was the day that every Belkan are shocked and lamented. The Saint's Cradle, a ship that housed entire family of Sankt kaiser, are heading to Planet Belka for celebrate the Unification Day, a National Holyday of Belka. However, when they reached the Sector 0010, five hundred capital ships are emerged from Hyperspace and ambushed Cradle. Fleet were belong to midchildan resistance.
For two centuries, resistance are manage to captured many of outer systems in secret. From there, they can build the fleet, training there soldiers. When they saw the right moments of attack,(Belkan are overconfident about the power of cradle, so the escort was minimum.)they secretly moving there fleet to Sector 0010 by using uncharted jump point.
Although the Cradle was powerful enough to annihilate half of the fleet, it can't withstand the power of fleet. Most of Loyal family are killed when the cradle are destroyed. Only Hilda Segbrecht, a eighth child of Sankt Kaiser Matthias Segbrecht are escaped to one of the cruiser that survived the ambush. However, because of battle damage, ship is lost in hyperspace, and she is considered killed.
The Fall-death of first Imperium.
Initial shock from massacre are devastate entire Imperium. Many planets and system are already rebelled. This became even worse when massive fleets of midchildan resistance(now called themselves "Midchildan Confederacy")are appeared from outer systems. Quickly, most of eastern Imperium(including midchilda) are lost to confederacy, and Imperial Fleet can't hold a line against the onslaught of confederacy fleet.
At 1610, Imperial Fleet are withdrew to belka and other Fortress. line of defense are broken, and Confederacy fleet are able to take most of Western Imperium.
At 1645, Confederacy mount daring assault to throne world of Belka. Sheer brute force of Invasion fleet are annihilate most of the Home fleet drydocks and shipyard over Belka, and invasion fleet bombarded the planet with thermonuclear weaponry. Only the combined might of remaining Home fleet and reinforcement from other system can broke the siege. However, damage was already done. Most of home fleet are destroyed, surface of planet are devastated, And half of system are taken by Confederacy.
On 1650, only twenty systems are remained in Imperium's hand. Others are all taken by confederacy. Belka became broken, dead nation that only shadows and ruins of its former glories are remained...
Until the one person rise to position of Fleetmaster...
