The Summit Empire Birth
The Summit Empire was born 4000 BWD and started the the First Matticus war (4000 BWD) with it's creation. It was formed after the engine was invented, and it was created to unify all the tribes. Unfortunately, these tribes refused to be ruled by one leader, an Emperor and set of to create there own cities. They saw the attempt to unify the world and saw it as an act of war, and attack what was then called Steria City. The Summit Empire was born.

The start of the war
The Summit Empire was too late to save Steria, when the Empire Army arrived it was in ruins. The Summit Empire, soon after, mounted a huge assault on the Red Capital. As soon as defences were down the Army attacked the main hall in the centre of the city.

The Battle for Red City (3950 BWD)
Absolutely no-one in the tower was spared. The leader of the Red Nation on the top floor of the city hall, was killed by an attack force. With their leader gone the Red Nation was forced to surrender, bringing the end of the Red Nation.

Tension with Orange Nation (3935 BWD)
Although the Red Nation was defeated, there was a new threat. The Orange Nation, who were Red Nation's ally, were seeking revenge. They had risen in power and, although on a different continent, decided to invade. It gathered it's forces and, in 3934 BWD, crossed the ocean, toward Matticus city.

The Battle of the Ocean (3934 BWD)
The Battle of the Ocean was a major battle in the Empire's history, it started the war between Orange nation and Summit Empire. When the Orange Nation Navy was headed toward Matticus city, the Emperor already knew, and sent the Empire Grand Navy to crush the Orange Nation. The Navy engaged the Orange Fleet at the Pacifist Ocean. Although the Empire was out numbered, it had 2,000 ships while the enemy had 5,000, the Empire used skill to trample the Orange Fleet, sending the Orange Fleet running back home, a few years later, in 3930, Orange Nation surrendered.

Aftermath of the war (3930 BWD)
With most of the Summit Empire's money spent on the war, the country was broke. It had no choice but to raise taxes, cut jobs, starting a Great Depression.

The Great Depression (3930-3890 BWD)
The Great Depression was a difficult period for the Summit Empire, the country was ravaged by war and the leader Emperor Destruc, ordered the cut of 30,000 jobs. The country's wealth started to fall and many Summit were forced to live in slums in the poor district of Matticus City. Eventually in 3891 BWD the Empire economy rose as trade grew, thus ending the Depression.

The formation of The Rebellion (3825 BWD)
In 3825 BWD the people were growing tiresome of Emperor Destruc, he was becoming a tyrant, ordering his people to do his whim or die. Eventually the Summit people could take it no longer, the Rebels of the Summit Empire broke of and formed their own faction, The Rebellion. Their aim was to stop the tyrant, Emperor Destruc, from gaining so much power that he would consider himself overlord. The Summit Empire decided that it would crush The Rebellion with huge force, thus mounted a huge assault on the Rebel outpost of Slyther.
