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)
