Fiction:Magellanic Sovereignty of Planets/History

The 3 years of history so far for the Magellanic Sovereignty of Planets. = History = The history of the MSP. YAF - Years After Formation (MSP), ACS - Years after Civ stage (DCP)

Colonisation of the Large Magellanic Cloud 0 YAF
Shortly after the Seperatists united, and an alliance with the New Trucinex Imperium, the MSP started to scout for a nearby galaxy or cluster. The Magellanic clouds had been explored a bit before, mostly by probes. The Large Mallellanic cloud is astronomically active, but due to its small size and proximity to the Milky Way, the DCP never colonised it. Its strong X-ray and subspace wave sources also covers up the MSP's subspace transmissions. It also has very few empires, meaning competition is minor. Soon, the MSP was colonising at a fast rate, and began to form its independance with new ships of the fleet. Shortly after, the Warlord Tricarrion forced worship upon them.

War with the Mantisorac Swarm 0.1 YAF
However, the MSP did meet resistence, the previously unknown but advanced Mantisorac didn't take kindly to the new invaders. They had mostly a swarm intelligence, but did have sapient castes. Their ships were unusual in being slightly organic, or were hollowed-out astroids. In close combat they prove a deadly menace, towering over the troops. However, the MSP still has the edge to firepower and have destroyed almost half of the Swarm, still, they are proving strong, resistant foes...

Terribly underestimated
There is not many empires in the Large Magellanic Cloud, due to its smaller space, and this allowed the Mantisorac to expand without little competion. The MSP established a military base on a desert planet, they had detected large insectoid creatures on the surface, but believed they were not a threat. They couldn't be more wrong, the insectoids were soon raiding troops and vehicles, so the commander decided to rid the planet of the "bugs" as they became known as. He sent a large army to scourge the infestation, they were only insects? The troops approached one of the hives, and started firing rockets. Soon, the hive collapsed, however, the ground cracked open, and thousands of Mantisorac appeared, swarming the troops. They fired everything they got, but found the creatures were hard to defeat (they battle much like the ants in this video. They were over 6 meters tall with metallic claws and thick armour.  The last surving troops, retreated back to base.  The Commander ordered the planet to be bombed from orbit.    Meanwhile, in space, the MSP detected a strange asteroid that warped into the system.  As the MSP ships commenced saturating the planet with orbital bombardment, the asteroid released hundreds of organic fighters which destroyed the MSP fleet...

The Mantisorac certainly were not mere "bugs", they were in fact, a normadic empire with fairly advanced organic starships. Several more battles occured, however, the MSP adapted quickly, and the war is starting to look bad for the Mantisorac, who had never faced a big foe in a long time. However, they are proving a worthy adversary to the Sovereignty.

Mantisorac siege and the bio-weapon 0.3 YAF
This is an adventure by me - Matisorac Siege The MSP discovered some crucial infomation on the Mantisorac. The Soldier, worker and gaurd castes are not sapient, and rely on swarm intelligence, but the queen and higher castes are the sapient Mantisorac, the ones who build technology and have individuality. Without the higher castes, the hives and asteroid starships would collapse and perish. So, the MSP created several military colonies inside Mantisorac space. In secret, as only known to the commanders, the MSP was developing a biological weapon on E.4992 that only effects the higher castes (the MSP beamed out a hive queen, however, infomation spreads quickly in a hive mind and now they shield the inner cavities of the hives whever an MSP ship is detected). The Mantisorac attacked the outpost of E.4992, and the MSP lost a lot of ground forces, in one battle, only 4 survived the battle, 3 commanders and 1 young marine, however, after a chase across the desert, only 3 returned. Eventually, it was revealed to the troops that a bio-weapon was being created. In space, an asteroid hive was captured, and soon the weapon will be tested (part 2)... Meanwhile, a new battlecruiser has been developed.

Arkos, who was pivotal in protecting the outposts in the sieges of E.4992 was soon called for assistance once more, it was his job to deliver the bioweapon to the Asteroid hive, which had been captured and held by tractor beams. Its interior was scanned, and the directions were put into his holographic visual display. Before he was beamed aboard the asteroid hive he was sprayed with pheromones, so the guards could not make the distinction between him and the workers! Next, he was beamed aboard near the bioweapon. He picked it up, but several guards approached and tasted him with their feelers, but they could not tell the difference between him and the workers. Arkos pressed on, pleased that the Mantisorac could not tell the difference. He located the central cavity, where the queen and intelligent castes were. But he dared not enter, the higher castes would be intelligent enough to noctice him. He pulled out a grenade, then chucked it at a guard, and killed it, this distracted the higher castes. Arkos then set the bioweapon a timer. It would kill the queen and higher castes slowly, but would spread the disease to other asteroids hives! He left the area hastily, but then heard the shouts of prisoners, he followed the sounds until he found himself in another cavity, and to his horror, full of prisoners and half eaten troops! It was a food storage cavity! The prisoners were stuck in a web-like substance as sticky as industrial glue! Arkos melted it with a low disruptor setting, too low to harm the troops body armour. But then the guards noticed him, and they swarmed at the troops, but they were skilled and defeated the guards. They ran to the nearest Claw craft, an organic ship. One of the troopers was telepathic and could pilot the ship and Arkos and the prisoners fled. Soon the disease started to spread and do its job...

Soon, battles were taking a different turn, the Mantisorac would attack, but then the higher castes would die away, and the lower castes were left "stranded" with no directions they were easily picked off. However, this would not be the end, the Mantisorac abandoned most of their hives on the surface of planets and the asteroid hives went more spread out to avoid the spread of the disease. The Mantisorac now hit and run the MSP and are still far from being truly defeated! Meanwhile, Arkos and Captain Glondaff were getting more fame as heroes of the MSP...

Order of the Shadows 0.5 YAF
"I have returned! Bow before once more, and our new empire shall be stronger, those who dare oppose me will perish before the eyes of your people!"

- Tricarrion.

The MSP woudn't remain free of a warlord or Emperor forever, the descended Warlord Tricarrion used his powers to enforce this policy of worship, and a new religion was set up, the Order of the Shadows. Tricarrion, discovered that if ascended and descended beings were worshipped, they can become even more powerful, enough for him to overthrow Bo Ramik (see the Light and Dark fiction). The Warlord doesn't really care about the MSP, and once he would have defeated his ascended rival, he would probably destroy it. However, Tricarrion and Bo Ramik merged instead. The MSP would remain free for a while longer...

Skirmish with the DCP 0.5 YAF
To test the new shadow fighters, the MSP sent a couple of their ships to raid a small DCP station. The station was soon destroyed, and the MSP returned victorious. They know now, their ships were a match, and the DCP didn't even know it was the seperatists, because the ships have a subspace cloak which makes them untrackable. The DCP blamed it on the Cognatus. The MPS has started making alliances as well, such as the Iron Bloc, TIAF Rebels, Vartekian Empire and Imperial Alliance, but the Zazane refused, they didn't like Tricarion...

The hunt
By now, the War of Ages was finally over, and the Xhodocto and their many demons had been defeated. As the DCP was returning, Bo Ramik was one of the last leave, because he could still sense an evil presence. He took some troops with him. Soon, he found Tricarrion, however, after a short battle, Tricarrion easily overpowered Bo Ramik, but Bo Ramik was able to escape in time.

But the question was, how had Tricarrion become so powerful? Then Bo Ramik guessed, if ascended beings are worshipped, they gain the power of their worshippers. And it was not long until Bo Ramik realised, that the seperatists who were still in league with Tricarrion, would be the ones who were. They would be the easiest to manipulate. The hunt was on! However, the DCP was trying to recover, and Bo Ramik was not yet powerful enough to take on Tricarrion. The DCP turned to their most powerful ally, the Krassio. Most of the Sons of the Krass were unable to help, however, the Andrudan were, as Tricarrion had the knowledge of the Xhodocto. The DCP and the Andrudan haved joined forces to fight the DCP Seperatists, but now they must be located...

Secret war for the light 0.7 YAF
This was a secret, but short war between the DCP and the Magellanic Sovereignty of Planets (the seperatists), who were discovered in the Large Magellanic Cloud by accident. The war was kept secret, in case it would cause more instability in the DCP. However, after a few large battles, the much smaller MSP was being destroyed. However, when it was discovered Tricarrion was in control, the DCP allowed them to exist under a war treaty if they help Bo Ramik find the demon. Tricarrion allied with the demons of Apocalypta, which enraged the Xhodocto, and in his final confrontation with Bo Ramik, he foolishly combined the energies which drained him. Bo Ramik then lashed back. Neither did win, their energies combined and balanced into a superforce.

Realities Crossroad 2 YAF
After the war, the MSP was allowed to survive, as a puppet state of the DCP, so Tricarrion could be found. But with the long dissaparence of both Tricarrion and Bo Ramik, the MSP's days were growing shorter.

But Luck was in the horizon.

Recently, the DCP discovered an ancient Xynaxian gate, called Spore Henge. It led to other Quantum Realities. But on the other side, in a parallel universe, an Alternate DCP was coming through, the Coalition of Delpha, desperate for expansion, and very dangerous. After breaking into the SSA database, they learned of the MSP. The Coalition of Delpha then made a powerful alliance with the MSP, giving it a boost in population, resources, ships and weapons.

Emergence 2.5 YAF
On the eve of the Vartekian War, the DCP decided to do away with the MSP. They were useless to them now, and every person of every age would be excecuted. However, the DCP had no idea due to distractions and ignorance that the MSP had made a come back with new allies. The DCP fleet, commanded by Captain Shuur that was dispatched to put and end to the MSP, was obliterated.
