...and since it has been three years since your inactivity (altogther more time than you have been active here) it would be almost a miracle if it did. We've matured, both of us, so even if you descided to return I have no idea where we would stand. Nevertheless, I'm trying to protect your legacy here as best as I can.

Recently, I stumbled on your never-implemented plans of a Troodontid civil war. Since "Dealing with the Devil" a lot of things have changed. And by that I mean a lot.

Most of the Katarian influx had left, though you are no doubt already aware of that. Dromlexer is still active, though his Naakjian Confederation was absorbed into his Nomatari Sovereignty, which one day just vanished. Cyrannian is still active. Charles is still active. The Mirusian triad (me, Gorzill and Zillafire) are still active. Heck, we've actually gained a new member since then -CrimsonFire- and should you return, now is a golder opportunity for Cyrannians.

The Great Cyrandia Wars and the Gigaquandrantic Conflicts have ended. In Mirus, the Imperium of War has been defeated, and a new plane of nonsense has been discovered called Accel Space. In Cyrannus, the Cyrannian Imperial State is gone, as is the Neraida Gigamatrix. The GEC and NCR are still around though, and currently ducking it out in the Second Great Cyrannus War. Mou'Cyran was destroyed by the Empire. The United Bygorian Ascendancy has expanded tremendously and are now sharing their western border with the Troodontids that stand in their way of further expansion.

So back to the Troodontid civil war. Due to the afforementioned changes, implementing it in it's current form has become impossible. Now I mentioned Mou'Cyran blowing up, and with reason. This would present the perfect for the civil war to occur anyways since Draicon could easily go missing in the chaos trhat follows. The United Bygorian Ascendancy is only too happy to support the Troodontid Imperium (though I assume foreign powers will not be directly involved). The Mirusians support the Troodontid Technocracy, and for their part, I suppose the Bastnliues Republic support the Troodontid Republic, seeing it as a way to pay back the Troodontids for helping them in the Bastnliues' own civil war. Since the Neraida are gone, perhaps exposure to Accel Space -utterly inconsitent with the Troodontid's preoccupation for logic- is what creates the Troodontid Dominion. I have no idea how the Troodontid Trading Assemblage was formed. You weren't very clear on that.

As for the timeline of events revelant to the Troodontid Empire:


 * GigaConflicts - Cyrannus
 * The war between the Troodontids and the Imperium of War. Troodontids crack TyrannyTech first, believe that without it the Imperium will fall on it's own, sacrifice the Rebel Consuls since they no longer serve any purpose. Gastus gets away and finds amnesty in the Draekar Remnant where he reforms the Rebel Consuls - though they are now anti-Troodontid in addition to being anti-WarImperial.
 * Kradik unifies the Bygorians. Caligistus allows him to annex the Cyrannian IoW on the promise that he will tie the Troodontids up.
 * Kradik is unwilling to waste his own troops against a foe that is at this point technologically superior and instead allies himself with the Cyrannian Imperial State, waging a war by proxy. He gives the State acess to Troodontid territory trough his own space. Deal with the Devil happens.
 * The State pisses off the New Republic in addition to the Empire. Fighting on three fronts at once, the State begins to weaken. Kradik betrays them and steals their fleet, effectively ending them. He then takes over the State's positions near the Troodontid borders, cuttuing them off from outside aid. The Troodontids are now alone against the Neraida.
 * Due to their isolation and their resitance to the concept, the Troodontid Empire does not take part in the Great Hyperpsace Revolution.

Events after you left - subject to change should you return


 * GigaConflicts - Mirus
 * Not having to worry about any Troodontid interference, the Imperium implement their plans for Eternal War in the Mirus Galaxy unopposed. They manipulate others into letting their guard down and then gobble up the mayority of the ex-tyranny territories in Mirus. Next, they go on a warpath against Mirus' other civilisations. (At this point, the Imperium are no longer dumb brutes - though, reconned, this has always been a helpful facade.)
 * Though they are isolated from the Troodontid heartland in Cyrannus, the Troodontid colonies in Mirus think themselves safe because of their Dimsdar Platforms. However the Imperium has developped a counter-missile which takes the platforms out. Playing on the Troodontid's arrogance, the Imperium catches them by surprise and rout them. The survivors migrate south with the equally defeated Draekar, linking up with Eldarisia and France which are still holding out. Their arrival turns the tide against the Imperium. Simmilar events happen in the north.
 * The Imperium eventually collapses, and a new government is created under the Rebel Consuls. This is the Consulate of Praxis and they still don't like the Troodontids.


 * The Neraida War occurs, which destroys the Cyrannian Neraida. The Troodontids would now be able to re-establish contact with the rest of the galaxy, only to find that the Ascendancy and the Mirusians have caught up to them (mainly due to advancements in hyperpsace technology that the Troodontids lost out on). However, the Troodontids other wartime technology would still be up to date due to their constant struggle against the Neraida.


 * The Rebel Consuls tell the Waptoria that the Troodontids formerly tried to wipe them out. Waptorian-Troodontid relations cool.


 * Second Great Cyrannus War begins

possible future events


 * Troodontid civil war begins after the Mou'Cyran Cataclysm and ends at the beginning of the Second War's escalation. The Waptoria, Mendel Pact (=Ughandalorian Empire) and Therion Anarchic Commune (=Vanara) join up with the Troodontids. The Therion open up a rift to Accel Space on the Troodontid-Ascendancy border, disallowing the Ascendancy to conquer the still-fragile reformed Troodontid Empire. The Troodontids can then assist the Republic, Waptoria, Mendel and Therion during the Battle of Laurantia.

Again, no idea if any of this reaches you. If not, then the civil war will be where the Troodontids are forever stuck in limbo.
