History

-234 FCS

- A group of small, independent nations on the east coast of the continent of Gezena unite together into one nation, the Pan-Gezena Federation.

- Over the course of the next century, the PGF expands through both diplomacy and military action to control the entirety of Gezena.

-199 FCS

- Across the Inner Ocean to the east, on the continent of Zohil, the far-older United Republics of Free Zohil takes notice of the rapidly-growing PGF. In an attempt to curb the rapid growth of a potential rival, they provide aid to the PGF's local rivals. This does nothing except slow the PGF's growth only slightly, and create early tensions between the PGF and URFZ, which would eventually grow into a full-on rivalry.

-120 FCS

- The PGF expands to encompass all of Gezena except for the Zale Peninsula and the Antecannal Peninsula.

-112 FCS

- The Antecannal Straits War begins. The PGF launches an invasion by both land and sea on the newly-formed Antecannal League after the League imposed tariffs on sea trade by PGF companies through the Antecannal Straits. The PGF quickly secures a large portion of the Antecannal Peninsula, but is bogged down by guerilla fighting within the Antecannal Island Chain.

- The URFZ openly supplies funds and weapons to the Antecannal League, but open warfare between the PGF and URFZ is avoided through diplomacy.

-108 FCS

- The Antecannal Straits War ends with a peace treaty between the PGF and Antecannal League. The PGF achieves their main goal of forcing the League to remove their tariffs, but no territory change comes of it. The PGF's snout has been bloodied by a smaller nation, and animosity is bred by the conflict between the PGF and the League, leading to the League growing closer in relations to the URFZ.

-102 FCS

- With the refinement of large-scale rocket technology during the Antecannal Straits War by both sides, a space race begins between the URFZ and the PGF, with the Antecannal League providing resources and assistance to the URFZ.

-98 FCS

- The PGF puts the first sapient Kalixcian in orbit.

-87 FCS

- Both the PGF and URFZ put permanent space stations in orbit in the same year.

-73 FCS

- The URFZ puts the first Kalixcian on Toitek, the larger of Kalixcis' two moons.

-70 FCS

- The URFZ establishes a colony on Toitek.

-68 FCS

- The PGF puts a Kalixcian on Nalpa, the smaller of Kalixcis' two moons. They immediately set up a colony.

-53 FCS

- The PGF becomes the first to put a Kalixcian on another planet in the Bezuts system.

-20 FCS

- The PGF learns that the URFZ has made remote first contact with alien life, a species known as the Kepori. This is met with skepticism at first, until the URFZ releases undeniable proof later in the year to the public of all Kalixcian nations.

10 FCS

- By this point, every single celestial body within the Bezuts system has been colonized, and under the control of either the PGF or URFZ. The two other Kalixcian nations, the Zale Houses and Antecannal League, simply rent holdings on colonies established and officially owned by either of the other two.

34 FS

- As tensions worsen between the PGF and URFZ, an incident between two patrol ships within the moons of Kathaz, the largest gas giant of the Bezuts system, escalates out of control. War between the PGF and URFZ seems imminent.

35 FS

- The Bezuts Systemary War between the PGF and URFZ begins. The Antecannal League sides with the URFZ, and the Zale Houses side with the PGF. Nowhere within the Bezuts System is neutral, and the entire system is engulfed in war.

- On Kalixcis, the PGF an Zale Houses launch a joint land invasion of the Antecannal Peninsula on Gezena. The seafleets of either side duel in the Inner Ocean, freezing sea trade as the waters are too dangerous for even civilians to traverse.

- In orbit, PGF and URFZ spacefleets engage in deep space between the planets and moons that are host to colonies. Ground combat outside of Kalixcis is rare, and bloody.

38 FS

- The Bezuts Systemary War ends with a treaty. The PGF is victorious, but not without great losses. The URFZ agrees to decrease the size of their military, and hands over several of its colonies to the PGF.

- Thankfully nuclear weapons are never employed in the war on Kalixcis, both sides having agreed to it early on and keeping true to that agreement. Nuclear weapons are only used in fleet battles out in space, where their environmental impact is negligible.

- Most of the devastation from the war was within the Antecannal Peninsula, Antecannal Island Chain, Zale Peninsula, and the west coast of Zohil, resulting from the PGF and Zale's ground invasion of the Antecannal League, the URFZ naval invasion of the Zale Houses in an attempt to strike the core of the PGF from there, and the PGF's counter-invasion on Zohil itself.

- By the tally at the end of the war, casualty counts are in the high tens of millions, both soldiers and civilians. In terms of civilian casualties, Zale and the League suffered the worst. In terms of soldiers, the PGF and URFZ lost more, though mainly because they had more to deploy in the first place. Both sides had similar casualty numbers. The toll of this war is enough to make all Kalixcian nations hesitant about causing any other major wars in the future. Further conflict between the PGF and URFZ will be had through proxy wars, economic conflict, and technological races.

65 FS

- A breakthrough with Bluespace research occurs, as an Antecannal League scientist discovers how to use Bluespace to teleport small objects around a room. Research is conducted by all nations to develop this into a larger scale.

79 FS

- The research is a success, as URFZ and League scientists working together successfully jump a small shuttle across the Bezuts system in only a few minutes, rather than the eight days it took with the thrusters of the time.

- The PGF quickly mirrors this research, and performs a successful test of its own. It is uncertain if they developed this naturally, or if espionage was involved.

80 FS

- The URFZ uses this technology to send a shuttle of both their own diplomats and explorers and those of the Antecannal League to the Kepori homeworld of Teceti, opening up official face-to-face relations. This gives the URFZ a major advantage over the PGF.

- The URFZ provides their Bluespace technology to the Kepori.

82 FS

- The PGF sends their own representatives to Teceti, in an attempt to establish the same kinds of relations with the Kepori as the URFZ has. While they are able to open friendly relations, the Kepori government, the Risolrela Teceti Kadasolsi, consistently remains closer to the URFZ in all things.

85 FS

- The PGF jumps a shuttle into a neighboring system, which is soon confirmed to have a lifebearing planet. Efforts to colonize this world begin, but they are slow, as with the current technology only small vessels like shuttles can make bluespace jumps.

90 FS

- The PGF's extrasolar colony project proves successful, with the colony becoming self-sustaining this year.

- This triggers a wave of colonization from the PGF, URFZ, and Antecannal League, as all attempt to colonize systems nearby to Bezuts. The Zale Houses do not have the resources to commence such a program, and as such simply send people with the PGF's ships. This colonization wave lasts for around sixty years, until a major development evolves it.

150 FS

- Bluespace technology advances to the point where ships larger than shuttles can make long-distance jumps, allowing for trade between systems. Both the PGF and URFZ use this to open trade with Riso-Teceti.

- The colonization wave continues, but this time with larger, more long distance capable ships, allowing for the Kalixcian nations to reach even further out. This steady expansion remains the status quo for the next century. The Kepori, represented by their Riso-Teceti government, join this colonization wave with efforts of their own.

- Kepori begin immigrating to the Kalixcian nations, and Sarathi and Elzuosa begin immigrating to Riso-Teceti.

250 FS

- A PGFN vessel on patrol makes first contact with a Solarian vessel, marking first contact between humanity and the rest of the galaxy.

- The PGF shares this new contact with all nations they are currently in contact with. As with every other instance of first contact, technology is shared, and humans begin immigrating to Kalixcian nations as Kalixcians begin immigrating to the Solar Confederation.

283 FS

- Nanotrasen is founded, a joint venture between citizens of the Solar Confederation and the URFZ.

- Etherbor Industries, a PGF-born company, utilizes their political clout to force the PGF legislature to pass laws that cripple Nanotrasen's operations within PGF territory, to prevent the megacorp from threatening Etherbor's monopoly over the tech and weapons industries in the PGF. This proves successful, but it harms relations between the PGF and Nanotrasen.

291 FS

- The URFZ beats the PGF to colonizing the region now known as "The Frontier". They establish many colonies in the region before the PGF can even establish one.

379 FS

- The URFZ is torn apart by revolution as multiple political groups all rise up in armed rebellion against both the government and each other.

- The PGF secretly funnels weapons and funding to every single faction within the revolution, except the federal government, in hopes of losing the URFZ as a rival and starting off on the right foot with the new regime.

381 FS

- The URFZ and all other factions are defeated by a faction of religious theocrats belonging to the religion known as "Astrometry". They declare the creation of the Zohil Explorat, controlling most of Zohil's former territory, with an oligarchy of Astrometry religious leaders in control.

- The Zohil Explorat proves no more willing to be friendly with the PGF than the URFZ. Rather than losing a rival, the PGF simply traded one for another.

395 FS

- After a failed attempt to reconquer their Frontier colonies that declared independence during the revolution, the Zohil Explorat retracts themselves into isolation from the rest of the galaxy. While they still maintain their existing territory, they move their capital off of Kalixcis. The location of their new capital is currently unknown, except that it is called "The Blueflame".

400 FS

- CLIP is founded from former URFZ colonies in The Frontier who refused to join with the Explorat. Considering that relations have not changed with Zohil despite the change in government, the PGF establishes treaties, trade, and eventually an alliance with CLIP against their mutual enemies.

405 FS

- Making good on their agreement with CLIP, the PGF begins to station patrol ships on the edges of The Frontier, to assist CLIP's military forces against their mutual enemies, such as pirates and the Frontiersmen. Unbeknownst to both sides, the Zohil Explorat is supplying the Frontiersmen with weapons and funds in an attempt to weaken both CLIP and the PGF.

485 FS

- The Intercorporate Wars between Nanotrasen and the Syndicate begin. Both the PGF and Zohil Explorat remain neutral.

492 FS

- Following a Gorlex Marauders terrorist attack against Nanotrasen that results in the deaths of a large number of PGF citizens, the PGF declares the Gorlex Marauders as terrorists and joins the ICW, launching a campaign that results in the nuclear annihilation of several Gorlex bases from orbit.

495 FS

- Though they do not sign it, as no formal war was declared, the PGF respects the treaty that marks the end of the ICW, and stands down from their attacks on the Gorlex Marauders.

505 FS

- Current Year.

- The PGF begins to make another attempt at expansion into The Frontier.
