Fiction:Mamrian War

The Mamrian War took place during the Revamp Era in the Orinian Republic and lasted for one year. Its combatants were the Orinian Republic and the Mamrian Empire. The result of the war was total destruction of the Mamrian Empire and an increase in Ostindons morale.

Orinian Republic
The Orinian Republic had finished the Osbarian War in the year 4309 CE (Cosmic Era). Their military was slightly frayed and their government not quite there. Only 12,000 of the 400,000 troops for the Ostindons died during the war, but many families still wanted to see their loved ones. The Council of Orinia spent five months on figuring out whether to disarm the military or keep it as a sign of strength. The Inner Ring spent four of those five months bickering, and then finally all agreeing to the bill. The Outer Ring kept having situations of 11 yes, 1 no; 10 yes, 2 no; etc., until finally they unanimously activated the bill.

Come 4312, Pendrione's military and weapons facility was demolished and a high-security prison was placed there instead. The prisons on many Outer Ring worlds, especially Forraandy, had crammed prisons. Doron was the only Inner Ring world to have prison problems. Overall, the maintenance cost of Pendrione was far less than that of the secure penitentiaries on their other worlds. This era would be called Reconstruction. The government needed restructuring. Councilmaster Otock was very sick, the Inner Ring councilmen became rowdy, and viceroy in the Outer Ring became very competitive. In 4315, Councilmaster Otock died. He was the one who led the Ostindons through the Rogemori racial protests, the corruption, and the Osbarian War. General Machael of Ethadon took his place. The Inner Ring was instantly restabilized after Machael became Councilmaster. He got things done. The Outer Ring had reelections the next year, so many of them would retire.

The new Council of Orinia would be showcased to the public in 4316. After seeing that the bureaucracy which was accompanied by the multi-ringed government was much less if not gone, the Ostindons' morale shot up. Bills were passed in three weeks compared to 14 with the old council. Machael was praised throughout the OR. Reconstruction was coming to a close. It did, in late 4317.

The Revamp Era, pretty much a Golden Age, began in the beginning of 4318. The economy shot up, and with that, the region's economy boomed. Morale was the highest since 0 CE. Healthcare was the best, with many deaths being prevented. The educational system was fixed, with 98% of students graduating, with 95% of students going through college. Crime was the lowest since 13 CE, where only 2.1% of kids became criminals sometime in their lives. Everyone was happy, at least within the OR. Outside the OR, the Theocracy of Fouino and the Tillar Tribe began to get angry with each other. They called upon the OR to mediate, or a huge war would erupt. This was a sign to Machael that a military must exist within the Orinian Republic. He drafted 10,000 people and created 1,000 vehicles in case they were pulled into the war. Machael was also a huge supporter of expanding the empire, which he did. He added the colony Adêne (in the Tyrthaea system) on a completely different rim.

Mamrian Empire
Not much is known about the Mamrian Empire, except that they were aliies with the Krokus Tribe from Noridenous. The OR has been trying to collect data from them, but the Kroki won't comply. What is known is as follows. The Mamrian Empire was a large empire that formed around 912 PCE (Prior to Cosmic Era). They praised Spode so much, they were bigoted. They had a "hollow empire", with all but three of their colonies having a terrascore of T0. One of their allies was the Theocracy of Fouino who they helped in the Fouin-Tillarian War.

Escalation to the War
In 4318, the Mamrian Empire was called in to help the Theocracy of Fouino against the Tillar Tribe. The only way to get to them was to pass through the Orinian Republic. Without permission, they trespassed into their territory. The OR wanted to remain neutral, so they said for all vehicles and weapons to stay out of their territory. The Mamrian Empire did not like this, because the only way to get to their allies was through them. Other routes either took too long or had too many enemies. So they did it again. This greatly infuriated the Ostindons.

Catalyst
The Mamrians ignored the OR completely. With the waves of troops traveling through with a wave of crime and pirates behind it, Councilmaster Machael was forced to create a doctrine. The Doctrine of Neutrality said that no vehicles of war or weapons of mass destruction may be transported through the OR during neutrality. Consequences would be war because if troops come through the OR, they are at war with the OR. This angered the Mamrian Empire. They didn't want to fight in two wars, but they had to help their allies. The TF pleaded their case to the OR, but the doctrine was not repealed. The Mamrians then came up with a plan. This plan involved a terrorist act. Since the OR's military was weak, the Mamrians would bomb the cities on Allinon. Their military would be focused on helping and defending Allinon and could not focus on the Mamrians. The plan went through. Allinon was bombed. But, this was considered an act of war and Machael reacted immediately. Allinon did not suffer much damage. A blockade was created to keep the Mamrians out. Machael immediately reinstated the military, and the troop numbers went from 10,000 to 200,000 in two weeks.

Allinonian Attack
The time between the original encroachment to the attack was about 6 years. The Allinonian Attack took place at the end of 4323. The biggest wave of troops ever had come through the OR that day. The extra troops veered off course to Allinon while the rest of the troops went to the TF. At 0612 (6:12 AM), the councilman of Allinon called Councilmaster Machael with an alert that Mamrian ships were coming toward the world. At 0629, Machael sent the military to Allinon. At 0708, the Mamrian forces penetrated the Allinonian atmosphere. At 0715, Machael's forces arrived. The Mamrian forces had 7 minutes to execute an attack when they thought they had 30. During this time, they bombed the capitol and the important towers. The councilman was not killed. The Ostindon forces took 14 minutes to destroy all of the Mamrian attack ships. The estimated death toll was 1,874 Ostindons with 1,119 injured, and 201 Mamrians with no injuries. The damage costs were §8,000.

Battles
After the time frame between the attack and the reinstating of the military, Machael ordered that the military go to the territories of the Mamrian emipire and take out systems one by one. It turned out that they were coming to do the same thing. The forces met and they battled it out. The Ostindons obliterated them with minimal damage. They were en route to the Mamrian Stronghold.

Battle of Kaloadnix (for Phian-5)
The Orinian Republic was handily defeating the Mamrian Empire in mid 4324. Every single one of the battles took place in the Mamrian region. One important battle was on Phian-5. This was a populous, industrial world near their homeworld. Machael ordered full destruction of the civilization. No ships would be allowed to leave. It took three days to besiege it. In the early morning of the first day, the Ostindons fighters blockaded the planet to make sure no one would come in or go out. That afternoon, the minor cities were destroyed. Throughout the night, bombings of factories and apartment towers took place. The next day was used for destroying the major cities. All of the commercial towers, industrial ports, and residential complexes were to be destroyed. Overnight, the Ostindons took a break and a ceasefire was called for 6 hours. The Mamrians tried to strategize a way to get rid of the Ostindons. As soon as time ran out the next morning, attacks began and the 40,000 people still remaining on the world were all killed. It was considered the biggest massacre in history, with every citizen dying.

Battle of Phicinea (for Morahfor and Puchan)
In late 4324, much of the sector knew that the ME would fall. The Fouin-Tillarian War ended with a truce. The Mamrians called for a surrender, but Machael's military experience called for them to finish what they started. Lycer, in the Bonne Empire, was the current base for the OR's forces. Noridenous, in the Krokus Tribe, was still the ME's base. All that remained of the ME was the Phicinea System, where their homeworld Morahfor resided. They knew of an impending attack, so all of their remaining forces left Noridenous and came to defend the Phicinea System. Machael waited on purpose until the very end of the year before he went in.

The first part of the battle was to take Puchan, a populous planet where most people go if they don't want to live on such a busy world. Machael sent his forces under General Muscce toward that world. The premier attack was on the large city of Kallaya. Muscce split his troops in three; one part to go with him, another to go with Captain Staganon, and another to go with Captain Aocai. Muscce's troops would destroy the large towers, Staganon's troops would neutralize any rebelling force if they so chose to attack, and Aocai's troops would attack any city hall/capital building on Puchan. Puchan was taken in a week. The Puchanese people, or what was left of them, were forced to board a prison ship to Pendrione. They were the first POW's in Ostindons history. After the battle, the troops all convened over Morahfor. Machael ordered Muscce to go in with shields on high, blasters tuned, and bombs ready. The initial attack was a failure, since the Arneian Empire called for the OR to save Arenia from an ecodisaster. This gave the Mamrians time to refresh for the next wave. The Arenians took one week of the OR's battling time in exchange for 5,000 troops. With those 5,000 extra troops, the Ostindons invaded Morahfor again. It took 25 days before Morahfor was captured. Ships tried to escape, but were taken down in the mesosphere. People had an ultimatum: "die, or spend the rest of your life on Pendrione". Most died.

Aftermath
The Bonne Empire, Arenian Empire, and Orinian Republic all split the reserves in the Mamrian treasury after the war. The Krokus Tribe had to pay §60,000 for crimes against the Bonne Empire and OR. The Mamrian Empire was destroyed. It is said that 200 Mamrians escaped on ships and now live on planets in Civilization Stage or in the Theocracy of Fouino. The others now live on Pendrione. One conspiracy theory said that the Mamrians are trying to repopulate within the TF and will fill up the government, ultimately taking the empire over and engaging in war with the OR. Another says that the Mamrians took cover on Morahfor and are waiting before rebuilding their cities. Morahfor was abandoned in 4326 after Machael said that its value was lost. Puchan was also abandon.
