Lavana: History
Incomplete sequence of events:
[3rd millenium AC]
- Lavana allies with Raobé (as of the end of the Dark Wars); Raobé is made an honorary member of the Tri-System (TS)
[6th millenium AC]
- Olashi achieve in-atmosphere flight
- Olashi achieve limited spaceflight
- Olashi toss some multi-species settlers on Terole, leaving it mostly to Nila; Nankampi City is established
- Terole begins to thrive as a trading post and refuge for fugitives
- Terole gains a form of government, after enough chaos: a Governor plus Aides, plus the Merchant Council as civilian/business representation, plus the Guardians as a police force
- Olashi 'meet' the Jhee after some sophisticated probes start cataloguing local lifeforms and stealing DNA
[7th millenium AC]
- Olashi achieve long-range (jump-based) spaceflight, largely from various trades and recon on Terole and its many alien visitors
- Olashi find Base and claim it, then build Station as a jump point between the TS and Base
- Station is constantly improved over the many following years, eventually becoming the size of a small moon
- Base proves to be unsettleable by normal means and is used as military training ground, spacecraft factory, and other scientific developments (planet is harsh but rich in resources)
- Non-Olashi begin to enter Olashi academies (Nila first, then Masi, and eventually Korats, Tioasms, Siyymns, and luirs)
- Taroks are genetically engineered by the Jhee
- Two Taroks - red Akarwhu and black Jekki - escape from the Jhee by stealing two prototype spacecrafts with improved engine capacity and shields; they reach the TS
- More Taroks escape or are freed in guerilla raids
- Taroks are declared Lavanians, due to Koratian descent, and are permitted into Olashi academies (after giving the stolen Jhee tech over to Olashi scientists)
- Olashi find and settle Cinea as an Olashi-only colony world
- Olashi discover Thaizi and ally with the somewhat-spacefaring Welphies
- Terole is discovered by the residents of the Quad System, including the Tokathe, who establish neutral/friendly relations with the TS
- Drakka scouts find the outskirts of Olashi space
- Olashi discover the Emeracore System, but don't fully investigate as the Drakka prove to be a threat
- Three Olashi warships are constructed on Base
- War between Drakka and the TS becomes official
- Zir'ken discover Terole and begin trading relations
- Aerhai discover Terole and remain neutral
- Adochi (of Raobé) discover antimatter weaponry to beat the superior Drakkan shield system
- Drakka attack and occupy Terole; survivors flee to Etreus, a planet in the Quad System, far from the worst of the war
- Aerhai and Olashi make pact; superior Aerhan engine technology is exchanged for the protection of the TS fleet
- Drakka are wiped off Terole by the three warships
- Terole begins to be rebuilt
- Aerhan and Adochi technology becomes widespread in the TS fleet
- War between Drakka and the TS is raging; the sides are almost evenly matched in firepower and numbers
- Drakka discover Terran spacecraft and engage them in war; two Terran colony worlds, Sintas and Anaria, are near the edge of Drakkan space quasi-perpendicular to the Drakkan-Olashi border
- Olashi find and rescue a few humans in the process of saving some Taroks from a Drakkan transport ship
- Terra and the TS establish neutral/friendly relations
- Sirlivi (Lavanians) and Oroya (Shakalans) enter the TS fleet
- Olashi begin making efforts to find the Drakkan homeworld, forging into Drakkan space; war continues
- Drakka mostly pull back from the front lines, but don't entirely vanish from known Olashi space; war subsides, but doesn't cease
[8th millenium AC]
- Terra and the TS co-colonize Jhey; primary races are humans, Korats, Nila, Masi
- Jhey becomes a second home to Asao, whose homeworld was deteriorating violently; humans brought them to Jhey to save the race from extinction
- Taroks discover an uninhabited, colonizable world and claim it for their own race, naming it Jekarwi
- Jekarwi becomes an honorary member of the TS
- Atsuden, Nihiks, and Kaur/ians are genetically engineered by the Jhee; some escape and make it to the TS
- Masi discover an uninhabited, colonizable world and claim it for their own race, naming it Brightsun
- Brightsun becomes an honorary member of the TS
[11th millenium AC]
- Lavana reaches critical/fatal ecological imbalance; Sahan is created in the TS and sentient Lavanian populations are relocated (and culled)
