Fiction:The Great Kylessan War

The Great Kylessan War was an interstellar war in the Greater Kylessan Star Cluster, lasting for over 120 Spore Years(Measurement of time in the Bunsen Galaxy)and involving up to four empires. It was mainly territorial war, but during certain periods, there was very aggressive fighting going on. Most of the events have been recorded by scholars of the involved empires, but only the Fernikki Empire's records are the last complete records, describing every event from when those first lasers were aimed at the enemy cities to when that last pulse shot hit the last Intimadando colony. Today, there are still battles going on in the star cluster, between the Fernikki and Posmell Empires, but they are not quite as epic as those of the Great Kylessan War.

The Rammoterror and Intimadando Empires

 * The first empires to start fighting were the Rammoterror and Intimadando Zealot Churches. According to the Metedarl Wanderer Council's recap of the war, the territorial fights did not make any sense, due to the two empires following the same religion. It has been assumed that the emperor of one of these empires simply did not like the other. An accurate account cannot be made now since both empires have been destroyed, along with written pieces. In this period of the war, most of the attacks were focused on the two planets Teton and Cephe. Really, all there was was just fights over the two planets. They were T0, too! To the west(assuming you're heading away from the center of the galaxy, up the arm), a military power was growing. The two Zealots had no idea that this small threat would eventually be their downfall.

The Fernikki Empire

 * The Fernikki Empire was a small empire to the west. They stayed quiet for a while, before emerging out of their silence and conquering Sir Beakenstein planets, according to the Metedarl Empire's records.

The Fernikkis Join the Battle

 * The Fernikki Warrior Empire began their growth by conquering the Sir Beakenstein Trade Federation's outpost planets. After about 20 Spore years of conquest, the Fernikkis felt comfortable enough to start taking on the two brawling empires. Fernikki forces headed for Brider, a Rammoterror planet, and quickly conquered it. The Rammoterror Empire saw a valuable ally in the Fernikkis and sent a diplomatic mission to Quenny, the Fernikki homeworld. Fernikki emperor Longli was disgusted and ordered the mission killed. Extremely angered, the Rammoterror emperor Sebastian declared war, even though the Fernikkis had already done this. After about 3 SY (Spore years) the first Fernikki fleet reached Teton, and attacked the Intimadandos. Intimadando emperor Sorial instantly declared holy war against them. The declaration of war ended the time of Rammoterrors and Intimadandos and brought in the time of Fernikkis.

Fernikkis Gain Power

 * For a short period, it looked like no one was really gaining more planets, as every time a planet was conquered, another empire would come and take it back. Finally, after about 10 SY of territorial war, the Fernikki Empire began aggressively attacking the Rammoterror Empire, badly reducing the Zealots to a mere 7 planets. Emperor Sebastian was tired of the war and asked for peace from the Fernikkis. They gracefully declined. After the capture of Arids and Brussia, the Fernikkis set their eyes on the main prize: the Rammoterror homeworld.

Capture of Tetal
The Fernikkis attacked Tetal, the Rammoterror homeworld, twice, only to be met by retreat both times. By the time of the third attack, morale had been so down lately due to the quick destruction of the empire, that Tetal finally surrendered. The Fernikkis were delighted with the quick surrender. After the conquest, Rammoterror morale was so low, you'd had have to dig for it. Eventually, they had only two planets left, the Capes outpost and their new capital, Kaldim. After these events, the Fernikki and Intimadando Empires were locked in territorial wars for about another 30 years.

End of the Rammoterror Empire

 * About 15 SY after the Groxidae Incident of the Metedarl Empire, the Metedarl captain decide to put the Rammoterrors out of their misery and bought the last two planets. The Rammoterror Empire agreed to leave their planets, and took the money from the purchases to go start their empire again somewhere else, this time with more peaceful notions.

The Tybusen Empire

 * The Tybusen Shaman Council was originally an empire of the Tyrusan Star Cluster, a star cluster about 60-70 parsecs to the north. The empire had been mainly restricted to their group of stars, and were in the middle of(but not a part of)a different territorial war similar to the events of the Great Kylessan War. Lately, they began a campaign of expansion. They were already familiar with the Greater Kylessan races, and most were allied. Except for the Intimadando Empire. The Tybusen, in fact, are not that fond of Zealot Empires, let alone the nearby Intimadandos. As they moved and expanded south, they took interest in the war, and within a year, Tybusen emperor Khoria permitted Tybusen space captain Lorrelas to move forward with the plans.

The Tybusen Join the Fight

 * The Tybusen had a lot of support from the Fernikkis, and right before heading to the Intimadando colony Cophilton, they became war partners. Cophilton was accidentally destroyed. The captain then closed in on Romes, a valuable T2 Blue Spice planet. It was captured easily, though one city was destroyed. After the capture of Romes, the Intimadando finally realized that the Tybusen were no longer going to be nice. The emperor declared war, though by this time, they had been reduced to two planets, Juvernahro and Keglion, their homeworld.

Capture of Keglion, End of the Intimadando Empire

 * Lorrelas gained support from the Fernikkis in their campaign on Keglion. Really, Lorrelas's plan was that the Fernikki fleets would actually act as first forces, to take out turrets and multiple space ships. The Tybusen fleet landed on Keglion right as the Fernikkis were finishing up their 'scouting' job. All of the turrets had been eliminated, and the ships proceeded to take over the cities, even ones that had already surrendered to Fernikki forces. The planet was captured, resulting in the loss of the Intimadandos' most valuable planet. The empire barely lasted 1 SY after the conquest, as their last planet, Juvernahro was captured by the Fernikki Empire. And so ended an epic war of unrest, violence, and pulse shots. Lots of pulse shots.

The Aftermath

 * After the end of the war, the star cluster was at peace for another 15 SY. Eventually, the Fernikkis found a new enemy, the Posmell Bards Guild. The Tybusen have declined to join the Fernikki Empire in this war, as the Tybusen had uplifted the Posmell. The period of peace allowed the empires of the Greater Kylessan Star Cluster prosper and live in peace. Many epic stories tell of great battles during the war, and today, are enjoyed by many empires of different star clusters in the Janus sector of the Larson arm. Even though they were destroyed,and most of their culture forgotten, Rammoterror and Intimadando thought still affects part of the star cluster today. The Fernikkis adopted the religion of the two empires, albeit with different rituals and ideas. This war has left a resounding affect on the Greater Kylessan Star Cluster, and many Greater Kylessan empires hope that these epic battles and stories live on to generations to come.
