Fiction:Arkit Council Empire/History

''This article refers to Arkit progression from Early Civilization to the Present Day. For Evolution and history of the Arkit specie in general, please go to the Arkit page.

'NOTE: Before 7,000KI, the era is called the Perealitry Era,'' meaning "Prehistoric Era". Between 7,000KI and 0SP, there is no era name.'''

7,000KI to 6,000KI
Early Arkit civilization rose up in the form of nomadic tribes that existed primarily on Axelstom. These tribes often consisted of a rough number of twenty, usually of the same Arkit family, if not two. Within this tribe, two Arkit, one female and one male, whom were to rule the Tribe. These tribes worked like a Monarchy, which could explain the governments of Axel and Rennus in the present day. These tribes quickly grew into civilizations, such as the Giiyona and Kiweroi Civilizations which arose around 6,000KI to 5,000KI. Records declare that the Giiyonan civilization rose up around 6,200KI with the Kiweroiin civilization rising at any point between 6,500KI and 4,700KI.

6,000KI to 5,000KI
Records depict that the Giiyonan Civilization rose up about 6,200KI. This civilization would go on to rule at least a quarter of Axelstom, if not all of it. Between the two noted years, it is also possible that the Kiweriion Civilization also rose as popular belief is that it's technology was far too great for it to rise at the time records state. The Giiyonan Civilization collapsed around 5,200 for unknown reasons.

5,000KI to 4,000KI
If the records on the Kiweriion Civilization were correct to the word, then it is around 4,800 that the Civilization arose with it collapsing in 4,300 from a successful attack from one its neighbouring tribes. However, what tribe did finally destroy the Kiweriions is unknown. With the collapse of this Civilization, the world returned to the dark Tribal era again. Another Civilization would not rise again until 3,300.

4,000KI to 3,000KI
Before 3,300KI, the remaining tribes on Leonation remained, solely, on the continent of Axelstom. None of these tribes managed to succeed in combat against one another, so any Tribal Nations merely remained the same size. However, somewhere around 3,300KI in West Axelstom, a tribe rose up, and attacked other nearby tribes, building magnificent cities on where they once lay. This civilization called itself "Ahior Sei Axel" (Supreme Axel). This Civilization went unchallenged in military and economic might for 400 Solar Cycles, until the Rennus Civilization rose up in East Axelstom.

3,000KI to 2,500KI
In 2,700KI, the Tribe, "Suitai Ve Rennus", arose and captured the majority of East Axelstom and enslaved the survivors to work for their cause. However, Rennus eventually encountered Axel and a conflict broke out, fighting for land off their opponent. However, their military might was too equal and no side managed to gain the upper-hand. The two civilizations backed down and called a truce, then returned to obtaining land from their local tribes. In 2,550 the Civilization of Artaisia arose in South Axelstom. The country expanded her borders by absorbing other tribes into a safer collective. Despite managing to peacefully take over the tribes near its borders, Artaisia never had to use a military force, therefore it was inexperienced with military forces when it encountered Axel and Rennus in about 2,100KI.

2,500KI to 2,000KI
Around 2,200 war broke out between Axel and Rennus, both countries then had no more space to expand into, and were fighting over the border of their country. The war lasted, roughly, 150 years, with no advantages made by either side of the border. 120 years into the war, Artaisia attempted to take advantage of the two countries' weakened states. The Ruler of Artaisia believed the conflict to be Civil War and had declared war on the collective. This forced Axel and Rennus into a truce where they fought to repel Artaisian invasion. For 20 years, the front line remained unmoved until 2,070 where the AxelxRennus Truce managed to move the Artaisian Front Line deep within their territory. Artaisia surrendered in 2,050 to the oncoming Military and was forced to give up the territory Axel and Rennus had captured during the War. In 2,045, Axel and Rennus created a Union (which would later become the LPE) to ensure that war would not take strife again. This Union had a primitive set of rules which created the foundation of the laws of the modern day Arkit Council of Empire.

2,000KI to 1,500KI
It was around 1,700KI when tribes and minor civilization arose on continents other than Axelstom. The Fopiguqi Tribe arose on the continent of Transubitia in 1,520KI and still stands to this day under the name of "Transubitia". This tribe managed to wipe out every other tribe in the area, giving it a large amount of land as well as a dangerous Military and an effective Slave Workforce. Back on Axelstom, however, a Golden Age of peace had managed to creep into the three countries with trade and diplomatic relations being at an all-time high. The first currency of the world was developed by Rennus to solve arguments about trade rates. This currency was used by the three countries until 2000SP, where the Sporebuck was adopted.

1,500KI to 1,000KI
In 1,435KI, the Fopiguqi Civilization created ships which they used to traverse the ocean between Transubitia and Axelstom and attempted to attack the Natives on the new continent, despite having a powerful military force, the attack failed spectacularly, probably due to the results of Defender Advantage. The attack opened the eyes of the countries on Axelstom to naval travel, allowing them to invent their own ships. These ships increased native advantage against the Fopiguqi. Eventually the Tribe gave up the attempted attacks in fear of powerful retaliation. The strain on borders created by the three countries closely residing often posed as something to worry about when watching each others military forces.

1,000KI to 500KI
These years showed the strain on resources and economy of the civilizations then with many rebel factions breaking out into City States and revolting against the Main countries. All outbreaks within Axel and Rennus were quenched by the countries' disciplined military and quick responses. However, Artaisia's military was never as powerful and was unable to quell the rebellions, resulting in a loss of 15 cities, spawning Sinadark, Yunlusa and Coozal, all of which still stand to this day. Despite the constant threat of revolution that gripped the three countries, culture managed to stay strong and was, perhaps, the only thing that kept the countries from falling into anarchy. Strain on borders still remained with space for expansion being minimal. In 874KI, war broke out between Axel and Artaisia over border pressure. Rennus assisted on the side of Axel and the war ended without too many casualties on either side. Under the pressure of tight borders, the only thing stopping Axel and Rennus breaking out into war was the union that the two had created. This however did not stop Artaisia try and attack either country continuously before finally ceasing attempts in 535KI. However, none of these were too fatal to endanger the survival of Axelstom or the planet.

500KI to 250KI
War ceased to grip Axelstom, however it began to grip Transubitia with the Fopiguqi Tribe beginning to officially declaring war on other nearby tribes as well as other tribes in the surrounding area. Axelstom's naval military was then powerful enough to begin traversing the planet's oceans and was used to begin assaults upon Transubitian shores, but the naval forces were repelled by the Natives. Axel, the country that proposed the attacks on Transubitia, instantaneously called the forces back and ceased the invasions. Discovery of new resources and materials helped the Axelstinian Countries increase the quality of residential and agricultural plots, helping the economy of the civilizations along with the life of the residents of these countries.

250KI to 0SP
Tensions on borders increased once again in Axelstom, however no war broke out. Around 25KI, the famous Kaskid-Il'art, meaning "The Enlightening Destroyer", impacted in far East Rennus, destroying 12 sectors of farmland and killing 500 Arkit in the process. The projectile that impacted was searched and has samples brought from it to Rennus' ruler. The device was made out of a metal that had an almost defined shape, albeit burnt. Rare, incomprehensible "words" were found around and within the projectile. However, the object was carved up and traded amongst the countries of Axelstom for extraordinaire prices, but every country ended up with at least one shard to research. By 2KI, technology was beginning to advance quickly and greatly. By the end of 1KI, the rulers of all 6 countries decided that they should declare a new era; Il'art Era or "Enlightened Era". The term Stantisais Provers, meaning "pursuing goals", was chosen to recognize the new era.

Il'art Era
0SP marked the beginning of a Golden Age of Technology and Science, in turn the economy of all 6 countries also began to reach a high point. The first new invention that was created in this period was a primitive kind of Steam Power which was run on the planet's natural supply of coal, however this invention did not last too long due to quick exhaustion of coal supplies. Border states were very tense as coal resources began to drop as fear of invasion on all sides amounted. In a bid to calm the nations down, Artaisia, Sinadark, Yunlusa and Coozal were all permitted into the AxelxRennus Union, this union was renamed to the Axelstom Alliance due to the new members rendering the name obsolete. The Alliance strengthened relations and trade among the nations and fear of war declined. Research on the projectile that landed in 25KI began to dry up, with no ability to decipher what the "words" on the shards of metal meant or represented, the project was abandoned and the shards of metal stored. Greater Scientific advancements had taken place before 230SP, such as the revolutionizing of residential space as well as improving farm produce, allowing for much larger populations. Military technology also progressed with the replacing of so-called "tribal" weaponry with objects that were equal to swords, shields and plate armour. Although, none of these objects could be tested out on the battlefield as no wars were fought in this era.

250SP to 500SP
The Enlightened Era continued throughout Axelstom, often referred to as a supreme Golden Age in which the economy, military and scientific advancements all took place and in great quantities. By 392SP, a the Axelstom Alliance received major improvements to it's way of being run. It was decided that it would be run in coalition by Axel's and Rennus' leaders. This decision was held in great detest by Artaisia, Sinadark, Yunlusa and Coozal, all of which had no say in who was the supreme leader. This event created slight tensions of Axel and Rennus against the remainder of the Alliance, however, no war broke out. The Fopiguqi Tribe attempted to attack Axelstom again, but with a larger fleet and many allied forces. They managed to obtain a foothold in North Axel, but were quickly dispatched of by foot soldiers.

500SP to 750SP
The Enlightened Era ended in 612SP when the Alliance declared that, even though the advancements were still as great, they were common to the norm and were now no extraordinary feats. While the time from 613SP onwards was not immediately given a name, it was eventually called Halsidrea Ca Moroi Era, or, "Scientific Death Reign Era". As it was in 720SP that Axel created dangerous weaponry that were beyond their time. The Weapons invented then are still classified to this day as Class A Weapon of Mass Destruction. When Axel proposed the weapons to be used against the Fopiguqi, Rennus boycotted the proposal, saying that "it would be a War Crime to do such a thing". Axel ignored the warnings and tensions on AxelxRennus borders surmounted until Axel nearly went ahead with the proposal until Rennus intervened and destroyed the Alliance, sparking the Moroiin War, "War of Death", which would be the most violent war to ever be fought on the planet. The War lasted from 727SP until 958SP.

Halsidrea Ca Moroi Era
The first years of combat saw very little action, with only hit-and-run guerrilla battles taking place. By 738SP, though, the battles flared up with thousands of conscripted soldiers on both sides being thrust onto the battlefield. The war saw the rise of at least 328 countries, however, only 33 of those managed to survive. Axel's cities broke off, forming countries allied with Rennus, against use of the weapons while Rennus' cities broke off as well, in favour of the weapons. The 4 neutral countries remained so until 449SP, where, upon seeing the destruction caused by the fighting, the countries joined into the war against both, Axel and Rennus, in desperate attempts to stop the fighting.

750SP to 1,000SP
The Moroii War continued in its destruction, with the fighting beginning to heat up. Artaisia, Sinadark, Yunlusa and Coozal continued to pierce into Axel's and Rennus' borders, but desperately failed in every conquest, with thousands of causalities on the intervening forces. The first use of the Bio-Destroyer was seen in 843SP in use on a Rennian City. The City was leveled, over 27,000 innocent civilians were killed and the surrounding area was desolated and rendered infertile for the next 300 years. It was remarked that even Axel was amazed at the destructive power of the Weapon. However, the weapon saw use again in 875SP against the intervening states and once again in 902SP against Rennus. In total, the weapon was used to kill over 500,000 innocent members of civilization as well as over 200,000 Soldiers. The war finally ran its course when the conflict just ended up exhausting itself in 958SP. Rennus declared a proposal of a Ceasefire. The War helped the remainder of the Civilizations to create a government that ensured the horrors of the Moroii War would never be repeated. The Bio-Destroyers were classified as WMDs with the use of them classified as a War Crime and an Act against Nature. Axel and Rennus reestablished the Axelstom Alliance, but renamed it the Axelstom Preservation Empire, which would later become the Leonation Preservation Empire.

Rise of the Axelstom Preservation Empire
The APE was reestablished from the ruins of the Axelstom Alliance in 960SP by Rennus to again be joint ruled by Axel and Rennus. Artaisia's officials greatly resented the revival, saying that the Alliance never had collapsed and that they were fighting as part of it against the two countries. King Giona II, the then ruler of Axel, proposed that previous members of the alliance would vote for a country to lead the Empire. President Asali won the election and ruled the Empire until his death in 1,017SP. The Empire, under Asali's control, boosted economy for all 6 countries as well as Scientific Research (a topic the countries were being careful about, due to the War that had just occurred). However, the Empire did not go unmatched, with other Nations creating their own out of fear of the APE as well as lust for Power. By the turn of the millennium, a total of 17 organizations equal to the APE had arisen to pool together militaristic and economic resources.

1,000SP to 1,250SP
Despite there being so many opposing forces to match the APE, very few wars broke out. Countries that were Pro-Weapon States during the Moroiin War were very aggressive and territorial, only banding together with other Pro-Weapon States. These bands of such countries created high paranoia of invasion due to their hatred of the APE for disbanding the weapons. President Asali died in 1,017SP and was replaced by President Zaliqe of Coozal in the next election. This result annoyed Axel and Rennus, who believed they deserved to rule the Empire. In 1,213SP, The Dowiunan Combination declared war upon the Axelstom Preservation Empire under the circumstances of "Unforgivable Acts Against Our States" and invaded North Rennus. The Empire's military was quickly retaliating against the invading forces. Within a few weeks of the first invasion, the Empire's military was at the gates of the Combination's Capital City, Linazali, which was captured and was recognized as a "Shared Empire" city as were the other cities that were captured in this conquest. The defeated Combination joined the Empire, making it the largest force on the planet. Due to it's power, many other groups of countries joined the APE. President Zaliqe died in 1,199SP and was replaced by President Cialuw, also of Coozal. In retaliation to this growing power of the Empire, the Northern Alliance of the Yuxlian States received many bordering Pro-Weapon States to oppose the Empire. The Empire and the Alliance lasted without conflict until 1,294 where the Empire declared War on the Alliance in fear of invasion. The Alliance's military managed to hold off the far superior military of the Empire for 10 years of conflict before losing advantage and having the Empire's forces invade deep within its lands. The Alliance surrendered before the Empire's forces could get too deep into its lands. This absorption of the Alliance made the Empire the largest and the strongest organization on the planet. The Fopiguqi Tribe also began to create their own form of empire out of captured and enslaved surrounding civilizations and tribes. This Empire was never given a name and was only referred to as the Fopiguqi Tribe as previous.

1,250SP to 1,500SP
By 1,271SP, Axelstom was practically united. It was in 1,300SP when President Cialuw announced that the Empire needed to expand its borders across the oceans to "Preserve Life beyond our own shores". The idea was accepted, ridiculed and feared. Many Arkit believed that going across the oceans was against Nature's Will while some believed stories of Monsters that resided in the depths of the Oceans. Despite the much resentment, the idea was successful and a crew from each country was to board a ship to create a fleet to cross the ocean. This first voyage sparked the Cyc Va Kivasara, or "Age of Exploration".

Cyc Va Kivasara
The Age of Exploration began in 1,305SP when Cialuw of Coozal declared the first Fleet of the APE in Axel's port. The First Fleet, named the Kivasara Bolia, or "Exploration's Front", was composed of one ship of each member-country, creating a fleet of 35 ships. These ships left Axelstom's shores in 1,312SP and arrived in Transubitia later that year. The ships were stripped down and were used as material to create forts on the water's edge in the new land. However, as Axelstom's Arkit began building towns and cities in Transubitia, the natives of the new continent retaliated with much violence. However, these attacks were all unsuccessful as the colonists had sway over much more powerful equipment. As the APE moved deeper into the continent, the Fopiguqi Empire became aware of the colonists and, with a powerful army, they managed to capture one of the colonist's cities. From these ruins, the tribal empire salvaged some of the empire's technology, creating a dangerous and violent enemy that managed to capture many more of the APE's cities.

By 1,409SP, the APE managed to obtain the upper-hand with persistent attacks and powerful tactics and managed to capture back many of their cities. Before the Empire managed to reach the capital of the Fopiguqi Empire, Queen Diaiiani III of Axel, the newest ruler of the APE, informed Fopiguqi of proposal of a truce. The Fopiguqi accepted these terms. In 1,422, the Fopiguqi were renamed Transubitia and became the fortieth member of the APE. Transubitia focused primarily on militaristic technology with grants from Axel. Many decisions were made on whether or not the grants should be continued, in fear of another war. However, the grants continued, which allowed Transubitia to build up its military might and inventions. Transubitia was regarded highly because of their intervention in claiming land for the APE as well as trading rare commodities.

The APE's forces defeated the tribal forces of the new continent, later named Transubitia after it's only country, and had given the newly acclaimed land to Transubitia.

1,500SP to 1,750SP
As the Cyc Va Kivasara came to an end, many members of the APE began to fear the rapid and dangerous inventions that Transubitia had created. Many of these inventions were valuble assets to a country's military forces, such as the creation of the first working firearm and artillery unit, others were deemed dangerous and Acts Against Nature, such as the Radiation Missile. Emperor:Lord Biunaera II of Rennus decided to halt the grants for Transubitia's Weapon Scheme. Many members of the APE were shocked and disgusted by the decision, especially Transubitia and it's citizens who relied on money given for the weapons to uphold its economy. In 1,597, Transubitia's economy collapsed and thousands of Arkit were left without work and homes.

In 1,603SP, Lord Biunaera died from unknown causes. During the election for another Emperor, General Zinnaze, the ruler of Transubitia, threatened to attack the APE's members' Capital Cities with Radiation Missiles if he were not made Emperor. At first, the members held still and refused to let him win, his pressing of calling the Missiles becoming more believable, the Council stood down and allowed him power.

Zinnaze's first act was to declare a form of dictatorship of the APE, ensuring that Transubitia was the only country allowed to be Emperor-State. He demanded thousands in cash to help rebuild his country's economy and showed great xenophobia towards Rennus and, in extension, Axel for their decision to cut his military grants. While Zinnaze did spend some money on paying for his economy to be rebuilt, he spent the majority of it on researching more militaristic devices. Eventually, many resistance groups were created to combat Zinnaze's rule, but many were wiped aside by the attacks from his far superior weaponry.

Zinnaze died in 1,672 and was succeeded by General Piutna who was much less militarily minded than Zinnaze. Piutna's tactics and combat orders were inefficient and were quickly ploughed through by many resistance groups and was killed in 1,674, where power was reinstated to allow the Council to vote for their ruler again. Lady Licuii IX of Rennus was voted in and ruled until her death in 1,784.

To be Completed

2,090SP to Present Day
Even though the Empire had access to fast-enough interstellar drives, ones that allowed them travel to their colonies in space in only a few Solar Cycles, they realized that they needed a faster drive that allowed Faster-Than-Light travel. Many months of research and millions of Sporebucks were funded into this invention, however, research was difficult because of many reasons.

First; it was difficult to find scientists willing to work on this project as many feared that going faster than the fastest known thing in the Universe would rip a hole in it. Second; Many Arkit thought that going faster than light was an Act Against Nature and that if it was achieved, Leonation would begin to decay. And thirdly; It was found that they lacked resources and funds to be able to create such a device. Even though the Project was abandoned, it was relocated to Deunario for any scientists who to still try and follow through with the project until it's completion.

Throughout this time, the Empire began to fullt interact with other Space-Faring Empires. Their first transmission came from the Wentals who wished an alliance between the two of them. Despite Drake's slight caution with contacting the alien specie, he accepted an alliance. A few day later the Empire contacted the Rambo Nation and managed to forge an alliance. After a few months of remaining to their selves, with no contact from any outside source, the SOTC contacted the Empire is request of an alliance. The Empire accepted and proposed a trade route which, was in return, accepted.
