Fiction:The Kyoto Union

A brief History of the KTU

100 years ago Human mining conglomerates moved into the as of yet uncharted Feros cluster The area was rich with untouched resources and great loads of rare minerals. The industrious humans were quick to began the exploitation of such a lush and lawless area. Soon entire planets had been stripped bare and the areas resources were quickly running out. As the reserves on the fringes of the cluster dwindled the human companies were forced to delve deeper into the dense fields of stars that had previously impeded exploration. A human expeditionary team stumbled upon the home system of the Vasari empires in the search for new places to mine. Seeing the opportunity for cheap labor and new markets the corporations quickly uplifted the Vasari and helped them establish several colonies. However, the humans had underestimated the Vasaris' will to expand and soon the two races were at odds with each other. When a human planet cracking ship destroyed a Vasari colony and killed thousands the Vasari declared open war against the ill-prepared human pioneers. The conflict was incredibly bloody and soon rendered many of the largest planets in the cluster lifeless and barren. After decades of fruitless warfare both sides had dwindled down to husks of their former selves. The warring factions signed the Kyoto charters and declared the conflict over, realizing that through over mining and warfare they had effectively rendered an entire star cluster unlivable the two groups left the cluster in a mass exodus. They soon settled in a new sector and began the rebuilding process. After years of tireless labor the tow groups have melted into one formidable union in pursuit of common goals.
