Fiction:Tybusen Intergalactic Allied Federation/History

The TIAF has had a long and grand history (well, maybe not as long and grand as other more awesome empires such as the DCP.) Throughout its time, the TIAF has had to endure many hardships.

Genesis Era, 270-375 SY
The young Federation had many troubles in its beginning years. Economic trouble and in-fighting plagued the empire in its infancy. For the most part, the TIAF faced most of the problems all young empires face.

Origins
The TIAF was founded by the Tybusen, Metedarl, and Singtoo Empires in an attempt to unify the Janus Sector and beyond. In the beginning, many empires liked the idea, and numbers rapidly increased due to the friendly nature of the Tybusen and Metedarl.

Warring Empires Period, 300-350 SY
During the early years, many TIAF empires battled each other. Although fighting amongst TIAF has always been allowed, the many wars at the time were rapidly destroying the Federation. Though the Metedarl settled a few fights, the Tybusen were extremely weak and powerless over the TIAF, despite being its leader. Many larger empires began to question the power of the Tybusen. Some were ready to split in search for a better leader. Some even had thoughts of overthrowing the Tybusen Empire to place the more-popular Metedarl in control of the Federation. Tybusen Emperor Zanter I managed to keep the TIAF unified through the struggle.

The Tybusen Comeback, 350-375 SY
Finally, after years of weak government, the ambitious Emperor Xavier I led what has become known as the Tybusen Comeback. First, Xavier dragged the empire out of its economic trouble by reestablishing the Spice trade between the empires. When the Tybusen accumulated enough money, the emperor set up an ambitious colonization campaign. The Tybusen began their expansion. This eventually ran into trouble with the Intimadando Zealot Church, but the war ended quickly thanks to the Fernikki Empire, a huge Warrior empire that had long been loyal members of the Federation. Thanks to an emperor with high hopes and assistance from a large military power, the Tybusen had finally gained the respect it deserve in the Federation.

The Golden Age, 375-750 SY
After the Tybusen Comeback, the Federation entered the Golden Age, a golden age of expansion, harmony, and unity. The TIAF had overcome its initial hardships and was finally unified under a strong and powerful leader.

The Recolonization, 375-435 SY
During this time, the Federation made many expansions to its borders. New empires were added, and the Tybusen began to eye northern and southern territory, as the Janus Sector was literally overflowing with empires. By occupying the Mellus Sector and part of the Core Sector, the Federation would become much more powerful. The northern campaign met with no opposition, but to the south, many opposed the presence of the Federation.

The Erion Wars, 435-533 SY
As the Federation moved south, many southern empires in the Erion Star Cluster did not like the Federation's invasion on their territory. As a result, a lot of Erion empires attacked. This became a series of battles that became known as the Erion Wars. Here, the Tybusen Empire showed off its military prowess by defeating the many that resisted the TIAF. Most of the opposition came from smaller Warrior and Zealot empires that, according to one account, "did not want lands they had so carefully had planned to colonize to be seized by the larger empires." However, many TIAF leaders and citizens believe the empires were merely jealous at the sheer size of the Federation and tried to gain power by picking off the southern outposts. All the empires were defeated and the Golden Age could continue.
