Fiction:Oronusian Military History

=Oronusian Military History= The Oronusian race has always been steeped in a culture of war and aggression, although they adhere to a religiously-orientated doctrine which is itself heavily rooted in violence and terror. The Oronusians ardently embrace this religious fervor and take pleasure in fulfilling its orders. Some Oronusian pastsighters argue that the acceptance of trade and economic values beginning in the discovery era has corrupted and undermined the Oronusians true zealous spirit. Contrary to this, the majority agree that the Oronusians grew stronger as a result of the economic boom, propelled forward into a new age of self-improvement and lateral thinking which was an important factor in their eventual success as a space empire.

Early Tribal Conflicts
The early tribal times of the Oronusian race were not documented fully, but a considerable amount is still known about the era. Many sand drawings from the time reveal that the Oronusian race was as violent as it is today, if not to an even greater extent. This was a time when the Oronusians were just becoming sentient, and their newly-developed minds were focused on only one thing; gaining dominance over their land, even if that meant destroying each other.

Weaponry
For a tribal Oronusian weapons were limited in variety, but their aggressive and competitive nature meant they developed new tools at a rapid rate. However, the greatest honour for a primitive Oronusian came from killing a foe using their own might alone without the aid of weaponry, but this was not always possible in the circumstances. With an undeveloped mind and little skill for constructing elaborate tools the Oronusians initially relied on the native plantlife found on Oronus to create their weapons. The Ajshrultu plant in particular proved to be very versatile as the young shoots were flexible enough to be crafted, upon maturing the shoots hardened and strengthened, and could then be sharpened on a suitable rock. These weapons along with the Oronusians warlike mind gave them a distinct advantage over the other more passive sentient species inhabiting on the planet.

Worldwide Conflict
After entering civilised life the Oronusians were still divided, with the introduction of currency greed swept over the planet and many attempted to lay claim to valuable land and resources. Many wars broke out, the most famous of which - the Great Spice Wars - lasted for well over a century. The result of these battles was a noticeable change in socioeconomic standards, as the Oronusians finally united their planet under one rule and put an end to the dissention that had plagued their civilisation from the beginning.

Weaponry
During the late discovery era many new technological advancements made warfare ever more lethal. Gunpowder - although at first an innocuous discovery - was soon used to provide the explosive thrust for the newly developed cannon, a weapon that could cause widespread destruction at a much greater range than ever before. The hand-to-hand combat of the nomadic times became an outdated and often suicidal practice when engaging these machines of terror. Luckily, these weapons came at a price, and few had the expertise to manufacture them. They were also extremely unreliable and on many occasions did not work at all, or worse blew up in the face of the operator. Despite these risks the destructive power they posessed was too great an advantage to ignore, and the course of warfare changed entirely over the coming millennia.

As the Oronusian race grew so too did their arsenal of weaponry, with the invention of motorised vehicles during the engineering era competition for land became much more violent. Huge forces were amassed and poised to strike at a given notice, the valuable commodity of spice became the central focus of many wars as opposing nations battled to claim the lucrative spice mines that littered the landscape. The profusion of economic wealth across the planet led to another surge in technology, which naturally included more advanced and destructive weapons; aircraft, missiles and ultimately the laser were all products of this advancement throughout the technological era.
