Fiction:Clanden Admiralty

The Clanden Admiralty traces its origins back to the Clanden Homeworld Cicero, one of the many planets to be overrun by the Grox Empire in its many years of conquest and expansion. The Clanden Merchant Republic, along with several other surrounding worlds, tried to mount a valiant defense, only to be overrun by the Grox's superior numbers and firepower. Being closer to the Grox's borders than any of the coalition planets, the Clanden were left exposed when many of them withdrew their forces from the effort to help in the evacuation of their worlds. Cicero was quickly lost the the Grox, leaving the fleet no other choice than to evacuate the outlying colonies and flee that quadrant of the galaxy to seek asylum elsewhere.

Times were hard as the Clanden were turned away, time and time again, by nations that were beginning to prepare to meet the Grox advance. The Clanden Fleet then retreated into deep space to lick their wounds. Many like to think that they found an inhabited planet somewhere and settled down; but no, the Clanden kept going. At the end of his life, the captain of the Defiant, the defunct flagship of the Coalition, declared the founding of a new Clanden state, the Clanden Admiralty. The Defiant was rechristened as Home One, the new home of the Clanden race.
