Fiction:Round Table of Aemna

The Meganatitan Republic (officially the Round Table of Aemna) is an Knight republic decided to defeat the evil, i. e. the Grox.

Until the Earth year of 2500 AD, it was called Meganatitan Monarchy, however, with the first interstellar settlement, called Crentia, they changed their name to Meganatitan Empire. Later, when democratic revolutionaries assumed the power, it was renamed to its current name, Round Table of Aemna.

The "round table" refers to the round table on the Plato Palace, where the President and the Senators rule. (before the Democratic Revolution on 3000 AD, it was composed of a King from the royal family and the bravest knights).

The Round Table is usually peaceful, but won't hesitate to attack if provoked.

History
This is the empire's history. Tribal and Creature stages will be in the Creature:Meganatitan Page.

Between the Star and the Space
Meganatitan launched their first spaceship in 2300 AD. By that time, they hadn't developed FTL travel yet. They tested a prototype Colony Incredi-Pak on Vacilana, their moon, and were successful: the colony created an atmospheric shield and the artificial gravity system worked nicely.

"King, we believe we should bring our Monarchy to space. Our scientist found a potentially habitable planet, and since we have a Colony Placing System (how the Colony Incredi-Pak was called before), we...could expand our empire to another star..."

- Knight Crente

"Crente, are you crazy? We still travel slower than light, it would take over 100 years to reach that star. It would require tons of food supply, tons of fuel, tons of resources! We cannot do that. I'm sorry... You will possibly won't see our first colony on that star..."

- King Karl III

Faster than Light travel was invented by the Meganatitan on 2450 AD. They developed a way to travel 10x faster than Light, thanks to their good scientists and good understanding of physics.

Crente, our dear knight, wasn't forgotten. In fact, his quote was what made scientist think a lot on developing a FTL propulsion... and they started to work on that. Unfortunately, they couldn't finish the project before the death of Crente. In honror of Crente, the Scientific Community of Aemna, along with the King, declared that Crente's birthday will be a holiday, thanks to his quote that was the beginning of their space age.

"Here lies Crente (2287-2397 AD) - A crazy Knight who believed in reaching stars."

- Crente's grave,original text from 2397 AD.

"Here lies Crente (2287-2397 AD) - An unforgettable dreamer, an unforgettable believer, that believed in the Stars."

- Crente's grave, edited on 2460 AD.

The first colony
Meganatitan started developing their first spaceship with FTL propulsion on 2495 AD and launched it on 2499 AD. The Monarchy's first captain had a mission: do Crente's dream of colonizing the star called Novan.

The spaceship reached that star in a matter of months. The colony was placed, and just like what happened in the moon, this final model worked just right; but no atmosphere shield or gravitational adjusting were needed, so they weren't generated.

Meeting Someone Else
By 2690 AD, Meganatitan had 5 systems, including their homeworld. They still thought they were alone in the galaxy, until their space captain came back in hurry with surprising recording: an living alien race! It was a six-limbed creature called Ludorio.

"Oh my god. We aren't alone in this galaxy! So long to find one! *cries* That is...amazing! Simply amazing to find out we aren't lonely!Oh my...!"

- King Karl X of Meganatitans

"This creature...well, Drake's equation was right. We aren't alone in this piece of hydrogen, helium and metals called Galaxy. It is reasonable to tell that, if we don't talk to them, we can't establish a good relation."

- President Anna of Ludorios

Talking with the unknown isn't a good feeling...but soon both races started working together, trading together, and... allying together. Even today, over 2000 years later, both empires keep good relations.

An Ancient Ship
"Captain,we're receiving a strange transmission from a planet here. It seens to be a ship sent for...help?"

- Scientists

2710 AD. This was a transmission from their 10th system. Meganatitan bought many nice technologies from Ludorio, such as better propulsion and cheaper and better Colony Incredi-Paks. Both Meganatitan and Ludorio were already with 15 systems, and were quickly expanding due to the relatively desert Bretzan Sector. Captain Billy from the Meganatitan and a Captain Assembly from Ludorio beamed down to Hudson, the source of the so called transmission. They wandered around and found a crashed ship with two seriously injured crew members. They and two weird animals were screaming for help in a weird language.

Assembly used Ludorio's advanced medicine and soon the injured members felt better.

"Thank...you...a lot! We are from the Earth. We come in peace. We are the last survivors of a race known as Humans... Grox raided our last city, bypassed all defenses and stole all our technology. We used the last available ship to run to here. We are now left without fuel and we crashed here. We just need a home... Oh yes, these creatures? Well... we call it dog."

- Jin, human survivor

Billy felt sorry for the humans. He had to do something about it. And he did. He placed a City on the planet and said them:

"It's your new home. Go there."

- Billy, Captain of the Meganatitan

The human survivors had many children. By 2740 AD, humans developed (again) many technologies, partly due to the help from the Meganatitan and from the Ludorio. Humans expanded very quickly (again) and recovered from the Grox threat.

I bet this part will fit bet into sector's/galaxy history...

Democratic Revolution
In 3000 AD, democratic revolutionary groups on Aemna and in Meganatitan colonies were getting stronger. Their power was big enough that they started a wave of protests. There were too many protesters and the government couldn't arrest all of them for subversion. The King had no choice at all. Democrats had an powerful army, and if the King didn't surrender, then the revolutionaries would kill him and take the power by force. On 3010 AD, King's Palace was surrounded by an army of democrats, and the king surrender. Democrats assumed the power and wrote a new constitution, where the people elect their President and a Senate (Colonies/Cities elect a Mayor, and the planet elects a Governor).

The Meganatitan, formerly an Empire, became a Republic, with its power centered around the Round Table at the Plato Palace.

"I, President Gary, along with the senators, elected by our People, approve this Constitution, which gives our People Meganatitan Rights, and the Right to elect a President and its Senators."

- President Gary, the first elected president of the newly formed republic.

Personality
The Table tends to be peaceful. It usually give gifts, set trade routes, and often make alliances. However, they won't hesitate to attack if provoked.

Allies
Good folks. Ludorio Empire - Our very first friend.

Friends
''You are nice folks, but not enough to be our allies. Trapas'Aro Empire - We love your pranks, buddies.

Neutral
We haven't decided if you're friends, or enemies. None.

Dislikes
We don't like you, but we will let you in peace. None.

At war/Enemies
We will destroy your civilization. Da Mighta Grox - ''Your era of crimes has ended. We will destroy you, like when you destroyed our friends, when we were simply a tribe!''

I plan into adding more info in the Creature:Meganatitan page, about its evolution and Tribal/Civ ages.

Trivia

 * Plato Palace is a reference to Plateau Palace, the center of Brazil's Government.
