Fiction:Troodontid Empire/History

( Time is counted from the first time when the Troodontids first wrote something. )

- 10 Million years to - 1 Million years: Ancestral Troodontids
Various species of dinosaurs and reptiles ruled the planet Raptura. Ancestral Troodontid were among the smaller species, but among the most intelligent ones , too. After a long time, they first used weapons. Those were only shells, but still it was a big step in evolution.

- 1 Million years to - 10000 years: Troodontids
The ancestors of the Troodontids had evolved to the modern Troodontids at that time. Those were more intelligent than the other species of the planet and learned an even more varied use of weapons. They even builded the first things.

- 10000 years to - 1000 years: First Tribes
The Troodontids now started to live in tribes. They build early villages out of wood and stone. They domesticated several native species and started to feed not only on meat, but on fish , crops and fruits , too. But because meat was still their main food, they invented several more things that made hunting easier. In that time they first showed interest in ranged weapons.

- 1000 years to 2000 years: Age of high cultures
In that time the Troodontids finally ruled over most of the planet. They build the first monuments and cities in that time. Their population goes over the 10 million mark fo the first time in their history. In that time several high cultures rule over the three continents. Although there is war nearly every day, there is still enough time for them to invent several useful things like a paper-like structure and the first writing. At the end of this age there were only three civilisations left. Each of them lived in peace on their own continent.

2000 years to 2598: Time of peace
During that time there were only small fights between the states on the planet. While the economy started to flourish, the science started to perish. Only few things were invented during that time. At least in two of the three states. The third state had prepared for war for more than 50 years. They had invented several dangerous weapons like primetve cannons.

2598 to 2601: The Great War
With the attack of the third nation the Great War started. Although the third nation had prepared for war for a long time, it had overestimated its power and understimated the power of the other two nations. With united force the other two nations fought back the third one and finally defeated. In that time most modern day things were invented. The war had killed more than two thirds of the Troodontids and they would have gone extinct, if the two remaining nations wouldn`t have united.

2601 to 2729: Age of science
After the war the global Troodontid nation mainly foucsed on science. They started to build huge cities, started to explore the near space and did some research on different types on energy production. There were some small fights, but no big wars on the planet.

2729 to 2759: Age of stagnancy
Soon the Troodontids had everything they needed. Only few research was done. During that time hardly anything happened. The government started to get more and more corrupt.

2760: The year of the Attack


On the third day of the eleventh month of the year 2760 a gigantic spaceship apeared on Rapura. Within few hours half of the cities on the planet were destroyed. The attacker were protected by powerful shield systems and were affected by neither the machine guns nor the remainig weapons of the Great War. Nevertheless some few Troodontids led by Draicon came together on the Volcano Plains near the capital Troodontia. When the spaceship tried to attack them, it noticed the great volcano too late. The gigantic spaceship of the size of a city crashed into the gigantic mountain and was destroyed. The aliens inside the spaceship were killed during the impact. The attack made the Troodontids recognize that they weren`t alone in the galaxy and they were vulnerable towards more advanced races. In their fear they instantly started to rebuild the destroyed cities even more beautifully and restarted to do research on different technologies. On the one side the started to work on interstellar travel and energysupply, on the other hand they started to work on energy shields and weapons. The base of their research was the destroyed spaceship and the datas collected by it. The spaceship wasn`t only a attacking vehicle, but a research- and exploration ship , too. A huge variety of different datas had been collected by it and had been saved in the central computer of the spaceship. The Troodontids instantly started to do reseach on spaceships. At the end of the year their first interstellar spaceship was built : the Zeus-Class. This ship had only a medium firepower and a low speed, bt nevertheless it was an important tep in Troodontid`s culture. Although it would have been able to leave the star system in theory, it never did. It was only used for exploring near planets like Solaris II and IV. Meanwhilre the complete social structure of the Troodontids was changed. A new government was elected : the Senate and its executive, the president. After a short election Draikon became the President.

2761: Foundation of the Troodontid Empire
In this year two ther types of spaceships were created : the Hyperion and the Kronus-Class. Both were powerful space ships, much bigger than the Zeus-Class. The Zeus-Class was abolished after less than a year, because the other ships were much better in every possible way. The shield systems of the attacker ship had been analyzed and rebuild as well as a better hyper drive. In this year the Senate led by Draikon announced the creation of the Troodontid Empire´and the will to expand the territory to other planets in the Solaris system and even other star systems. Apart from that the Troodontid Army was created.Meanwhile there are massve problems on the planet. The energy supply has massive problems. The new projects need too much energy and so the energy supply would soon be to low to keep all systems up.

2762: Contact with the Sauronitholea
In the year 2762 the Troodontid`s fleet explored Solaris VIII or Hecimmy, a small planet on the other side of their stellar system. It appeared that this planet was inhabited, too. On it lived the civilisation of the Sauronitholea. Those are distant relatives of the Troodontids. When the spaceships arrived on the planet, the Sinornitholea already expected them. Although there were communication difficulties because of the different languages, the Sinornitholea and the Troodontids decided to work together. In order to prevent further problems the Troodontids who had already learned big parts of the Sinornitholea`s languages put a gigantic monument onto the Sinornitholea`s planet wich contained a translation of a Troodontid`s text into the Sinornitholea`s language. Meanwhile the energy problems get bigger and bigger. All arround Raptura there are blackouts.

2763: Project Starbirth
In this year energy problems get solved by a both fantastic and dangerous invention: stars. Those were created from the datas collected by the destroyed spaceship. The datas contained information about the components of stars. This projet was started on Solaris IX, and after the first star had been created and died without problems, the project was continued on Raptura. The small suns were in fact quite easy to create and live about 7 days. At the end they collapse and create a massive amount of energy. Those energy was stored and used to fix the energy problem. At the same time the Poseidon-Class was created and first research on cloaking systems for spaceships were started.

2764/5: Expansion
During the two years sevral changes were made. After gigantic shield systems had been created. Those were used to protect the cities on Raptura from alien attaks. Some improved energy cannons were build, too. Meanwhile the first colonies were founded. The three surrounding star systems were colonized, 5 colonies were built. Because there were problems to build gigantic spaceships, a new , gigantic spaceship was built. It was built at one of the colonies and should be the futurous plattform for building new spaceships and the first extraplanetar research station. The problem was to get the energy to power the massive spaceship. That problem was solved shortly before the ship was finished. Troodontid Scientist had found a way to use the energy of the small stars during the entire period of the stars` life by increasing their size. Because of that they elongated the stas life time to several months. The power of those stars was much bigger than the earlier ones. But that would have meant that the star`s death would have been stronger, too. The newly created stars` deaths weren`t much more powerful than regular ones, but the explosion of a star big enough to power the station would definitly have destroyed it. But by studying the star`s dying the scientist found out how to prevent that. They found a way to actually feed stars by adding new fuel. That fuel could be added anytime before its death and would increse the star`s lifetime for some time. As the station`s star`s liftime is estimated to be around three years, it has to be supplied with enough fuel to restore it at least every three years. With the new system the station could be finished and moved to the orbit of the Solaris Star. Currently the star is supplied with fuel every week to minimize the risk of exploding. Such structures were added to all old spaceships and the two new spaceship classes Helios and Prometheus.

2766: Alliances
In the year 2766 the Sinornitholea joined the Troodontid Empire. By doing this they got access to both the the Troodonti`s planets and their technology and vice versa. The communication problems have been solved, both Troodontids and Sinornitholea learn the two different languages now. The Empire founded several new colonies in the nearer parts of space. At the same time the cloating systems were finished and the Hades-Class was build. Later several Dominatus Cruisers appeared in the orbit of Raptura. They managed to defeat the surprised local ships and to send an army down to planet. There was a violent battle on the plains near Troodontia, the Dominatus nearly won. Then some more Troodontid Ships appeared and at first managed to push back the Dominatus and even destroy some of them and to destroy the ground troops. The Dominatus came down near the caital and offered a peace treaty. At first the Troodontids refused, but then they redecided and agreed. They gave one of their colonies and some datas about Project Starbirth and the Shieldsystems in return for better weapon technologies and some war robot technologies.
