Fiction:Imperial Confederacy of Raydoni Systems/History

The history of the ICIS is a long and winding one; The ICIS is native to the Planet Rasoni, located in The Arm of Knowledge of the Borealis Galaxy.

Tribal Stage
In Year 2532, the Raydoni were nothing more than a small number of warrior clans that hunted the wildlife and gathered fruit from any flora that bore healthy, non-poisonous fruit. At one point in time (Year 2582), these clans were faced with great drought and warring with other tribes on the continent that spiked a great increase in the mortality rate of the clans; It was at this time that in one of the clans, Named "G'se Omeh D'so Zoje Nahq'h" In the native Raydoni Language, A figure named Rason appeared.

Rason reasoned that their barbaric and war-mongering ways were what led to their current time of strife on their un-named world; He and his followers effectively assumed control of their clan and put in place a governmental regime of communism and laid strict laws against practicing any form of weapon training and ownership of aforementioned weaponry, with the exception of warriors put in place as defenders of the clan.

Rason's Communism
Rason's Communism was met with much controversy, as many people were effected and punished under his No-Weapons and Training law. This had eventually lead to a brutal civil war that lasted for 20 years, and held causalities larger than ever recorded at that time.

Forming The Templar Imperium
The war ended in Year 2602 with Rason's victory, but the rebel determination Rason saw in the war as well as his ever growing age (He was 224 years old when took over, and 244 when the war ended) caused him to falter in his ideals. In Year 2607, he decided to repeal his No-Weapons and Training law and revised the government into a constitutional monarchy; naming it "The Templar Imperium" and placed his son, Rafarus, as the King. Rafarus agreed to his father's offer of leadership and organized and re-organized several things i.e. Military, food production, etc. Rason died in Year 2617. Shortly thereafter, Rafarus completed the construction of the City that the Imperium would call home, naming the city "Rason City" and the Planet itself "Rasoni", both in the name of his father.

Civilization Stage
In Year 2717 The Templar Imperium remained a city-nation nestled on the coast of the largest continent (named Heartland) and had even perfected guns and vehicles in that time, but in 800 ADR more cities were founding from smaller village (Some may have been from the old Tribal clans) And forming nations, some of them already having multiple cities. The Templar Imperium finally felt the need to expand and remain the Superpower it had previously been before these new cities formed. Negotiating with other city-nations to merge with them had been surprisingly easy, already the Imperium had three cities (including Rason City) to its name; it was when they had to deal with The Republic of The Heartland that was a problem.

Imperium-Republic Tensions
By Year 2720 the tensions between The Templar Imperium and The Republic of The Heartland were becomingly increasingly high. The Imperium was stockpiling weapons, tanks, and soldier for when the seemingly inevitable war would begin. The spark that lit off the powder keg was in Year 2722 when Republic forces moved in on and attacked an outpost set up in Templar territory; The Templar Imperium reacted swiftly and brutally, bombing out one of the Republic’s cities for days before being forced to retreat by Republic forces. The War For The Heartland had begun.

The War For The Heartland
The war itself was long and brutal, but it held a lot of positive results; the main positive result being The Arms Race of 2730 which pushed both sides to create modern weaponry like IPBMs and later, laser-weaponry. The War For The Heartland lasted until Year 2732, when The Republic surrendered at The Battle of Chymer; Chymer being the Republic capital. Emerging from the war as a battle-ready World Superpower, it took only 15 years for the Templars to take control of the planet.

Space Stage
In Year 2747, the first space-worthy fleet of 10 ships was completed and sent throughout their solar system for exploration and colonization. It didn’t take long to properly colonize and terraform their moon Z’pim’we Ede, translated to Blind Eye; along with two nearby unnamed planets, which they named Saj’fehg (Harvest) and X’jeh’gap (Crystal). But in 2750 several small and separate uprisings occurred, causing surprisingly large amounts of damage. These uprisings were later united and their purpose unveiled: To topple the Templar’s rule and reinstate the ways of the Republic of The Heartland; this rebellion called itself simply “The Junta”.
