Going To Talk Some About My Old Decade-Long Story (Not Touhou-Related)

[SateriCat17]

The Great Sun Republic had now for centuries begun to fall further and further into degeneracy, but do too had most of the other Galactic Nations. And by the late 2880s, the Great Sun Republic had become dominated by vast business conglomerates. Beginning in the early 2910s, a political movement in the Great Sun Republic known as the "Voegoutaists" (Voegouta meaning "Black Night Star" in an ancient Darker tongue) began to rise led by a mysterious older man named "Eklipsis Serzante". Their aims were to gain greater military and government power and to create a "New Order" where the religious institutions of the past would be erased (particularly of those related to the Lord God). In the elections of 2923 A.D.W., a man named Resalis Grumor won for the seat of the Grand Chancellor (the highest government of the Great Sun Republic) against Eklipsis Serzante and he would continue to seat in office until 2940 A.D.W. In the elections of 2940 A.D.W., Eklipsis Serzante would once more run for election, and in a move which would later prove to be a path to destruction, Resalis decided to support Eklipsis. And so, Eklipsis won the election, and a year later, he proclaimed that the flag, national anthem, and national symbols of the Republic would be changed for the first time in over 5,000 years. Over a course of several years, Eklipsis began to gain more power. It was then that Resalis began to see the sins of what he had done, but not long after, he died under mysterious circumstances in 2942 A.D.W. In February of 2945, for the first time since the Great Pirate Wars, the Darkers once again appeared themselves and launched a campaign known as the "Darker Crisis". But, 2 years later, in 2947, the Darkers mysteriously disappeared once more. Eklipsis then proclaimed that in order to help protect the Great Sun Republic, he'd need to have greater power, and so, the government legislation then gave him greater powers and greater control over the military. Over the next 6 years, he had gained more power and exploited the conglomerates while publicly condemning them. Beginning in 2952, the first susccessionist crisis in a thousand years began. 3 years later in November of 2955, the Great Sun Republic proclaimed that the neutral Zavula Confederacy was supplying these movements, and so, in an act of aggression, the Great Sun Republic swiftly invaded the and annexed the Confederacy. This sparked a chain reaction which caused various Galactic Nations who relied on the Zavula Confederacy and the Great Sun Republic to declare war on each other and with the Great Sun Republic itself declaring war on the other nations whom it claimed were also supplying the sussecionist movements. This ultimately started the 11-year war known as the "Sussecionist Wars" or the "Upheaval War". At the end of the conflict in 2967, the Great Sun Republic proved to not become weaker, but in fact stronger. On May 19, 2967, Eklipsis announced that in order to protect order and security, that he would make himself "Emperor" and transform the Great Sun Republic into the Intergalactic Voegouta Empire. The business conglomerates who also supported him were ultimately betrayed and absorbed directly into the government and the last remaining members of the Sussecionist movements were crushed. But, this brought about a much darker work beginning to take shape later considered to be one of the worst genocides up to that point in history...

In 2968, the Independent Sateri Revolutionary State and Voegouta Empire proclaimed a military alliance and political "union". 2 years later in 2970, Emperor Eklipsis "died" in what was claimed to be an accident, and so, a new Emperor was chosen, Emperor Tryanis. But the truth was that the man who played the role of Eklipsis, Evarka Fate, now had a puppet emperor and empire at his command. The Voegouta Empire had then proclaimed that the People of the Lord amongst various other religions and peoples were "enemies of the state" and would therefore be vanquished. The Voegouta Empire as well sought to invade the other Galactic Nations to create an empire to last for eternity. Of course, not the public nor even Emperor Tryanis himself knew the full extent of these plans...

I'll try to continue this later if I can.

This most certainly is all pretty long. lol
The story of the Voegouta Empire and it's rise and fall was pretty much the first part of the entire Story I had come up a decade ago this year, and as it's events basically serve as the crux for the Story really as a whole, then these events are what would be the "opening". This is only the first part of the wider narrative of the Voegouta Empire. I'll later tell about the formation of the "Voegoutan Alliance" and the massive civil war within and invasions outside the Voegouta Empire known as the "Voegoutan Wars", of 2999 A.D.W. to 3016 A.D.W. Of course, everything to do with the Voegouta Empire and some of the events after its collapse is still considered to be the "beginning" of the Story. There are in many ways, far more parts to the Story AFTER these events. Though since those would probably take twice or even thrice the number of words as all of this has and probably will, then I won't get into those unless someone really wants me to.

Ah. One more thing is that the Upheaval Wars would be considered to be over on the day of the Voegouta's Empire's proclamation of creation. Despite the conflicts against the successionist movements continuing into the next year.
Also, throughout the course of the conflicts, the successionist movements created various independent states within the Great Sun Republic, most of them being comprised of several star systems whom banded together and expelled Great Sun Republican forces and declared themselves to be independent. Despite some of their causes begin just, they would ultimately be the pawns of Evarka Fate and would often prove themselves to be extremely brutal and violent, taking the lives of tens of millions.

I think I may present some more of the proceeding to the Voegoutan Wars pretty soon, but first, I'll give some more information which is probably pretty important in regards to the Story and the peoples within the Heavens:
The vast majority of peoples, at the very least within the Holy Group itself, live for several centuries at least, and is not too uncommon for many to live for even millennium. Part of this is a result of technological power (of which most technology is far greater than anything which has been produced on Earth), but is also as a result of biological genes.
Of course, it'd be impossible for me to explain why those peoples can live for as long as they do otherwise, but the point is that they do.
Even the humans of the Heavens, live for anywhere from 80 to 300 years on average, and 600 most often at maximum. Though some other peoples such as the Sateri (whom themselves take around 90 to 110 years to become adults and on average live for 300 to 1,400 years) and the Trandoians (whom can possibly live upwards of 10,000 years) are examples of those who may live for longer than the "intergalactic norm" (which is around 400 to 800 years).
I say this is important, as for example, Shivarzu (the dictator of the ISK) will have been over 200 years old by the beginning of the Sateri Civil War and will continue to rule the ISK for much of it's existence until his assassination in 2972 A.D.W.
Another example will be one of the main protagonists of this upcoming part of the Story, Mitsukusha Yukanira Eircaru. He will be a Sateri born in the year 2441, and already by the Sateri Civil War, he will be over 200 years old himself. Of course, he will be an extremely unique individual, but that explanation shall be for another time.
Anyway, the point to all of this, is the fact that the peoples of the Holy Group generally have extremely long lives, and so therefore is one reason why many Galactic Nations can exist for millennia, but is also another reason why they can become so "explosive" later in their long lives.

This is only the first part of the wider narrative of the Voegouta Empire.

Alright. I think I'll continue this now. It's late at night for me, but oh well. First is to introduce 3 new Galactic Nations: The Democratic Federal Republic of Naraiksaro'Grulksia, The Republic of Zaveria, and The Kingdom of Veacriso-Versa.
To start with, Naraiksaro'Grulksia would be embroiled in a civil war in the late 2700s and early 2800s. The rebel group wished to create a nation based on the model of the ISK. With aid from the ISK, the rebels toppled the Interstellar State of Naraiksaro'Grulksia in 2818 and because of Naraiksaro'Grulksian society having a deep commitment to repaying a debt, Naraiksaro'Grulksia pledged it's alliance to the ISK, and for over a century, they remained each others' sole governmental allies.
But, with the ISK's alliance to the newly-formed Voegouta Empire, Naraiksaro'Grulksia too followed suit and made an alliance with the Voegouta Empire in 2971. This would the third member of the Voegoutan Alliance.
Now is the entering of the Republic of Zaveria. Zaveria would be a nation conflicted by frequent dictatorships and racial tensions ever since it's founding in 2398. With the founding of the Voegouta Empire, a group of Zaverian military officers would create a coup and ally themselves with the Voegouta Empire in 2977, believing that they would aid them in stabilizing the nation. Zaveria would henceforth call itself the "Voegoutaist Republic of Zaveria". This would be the fourth member.
The Kingdom of Veacriso-Versa is a neighboring nation to Zaveria, and have both been at odds with each other for centuries, especially due to Zaveria's harsh stance towards monarchy.
But despite that, Zaveria has been aided by Veacriso-Versa numerous times.
The kingdom itself is also old, having been formed in 729, during the midst of the Darker's War.
By this time though, Veacriso-Versa had just endured a widespread agricultural failure across multiple worlds. They are recovering, but their political situation has been weak and exploitable.
Due to their neighboring with the Voegouta Empire and Republic of Zaveria, they would be pressured to join the Voegoutan Alliance. A newly elected prime minister of the kingdom would suggest to the Royal Senate that joining the Voegoutan Alliance would be in the kingdom's best interests. Foolishly, the Senate would decide to follow her lead. The king would be against the alliance, but he would largely take a seat back because of his inability to change their minds.
And so, in 2984, the final major member of the Voegoutan Alliance would join.
With the introduction of the joint Voegoutan-ISK aircraft, the Digit Fighter, in 2982, the Voegouta Empire and it's allies would be feared more and more.
Between 2983 and 2987, various Galactic Nations would begin to group together to try to stand against the Voegouta Empire. Compounded by the Voegouta Empire's invasion and subsequent occupation of the "Northeastern Territories" (a collection of various independent systems who had survived the collapse of the isolationist Ruusanomarov Empire in 2673), from 2984, they would attempt to bring down the Voegouta Empire through the "Voegoutan Attrition Sieges".
Of course, the participants' goals would each be different. Some would want to take down the Voegouta Empire because of the atrocities taking place within their borders, and for (rightful) fear of the Voegouta Empire wishing to do the same to them. Others would be concerned about the Voegouta Empire's increasingly aggressive occupation of various interstellar trade routes and for fear of the Voegouta Empire taking those nations' star systems.
Regardless, the participants would not get along with each other very well, and the Voegoutan Attrition Sieges would have nowhere near the desired effect. In fact, the Voegouta Empire only seemed to get more powerful after counterattacking some of the Galactic Nations and forming various puppet and client states out of them, to even outright annexing some of those defeated. The decade-long Voegoutan Attrition Sieges would come to an end in 2997, and an unstable relative "peace" would be reached. Still, in the midst of the closing days of the Sieges, a rebellion would begin to brew within the Voegouta Empire.
This rebellion would ultimately lead to the downfall of the Voegouta Empire.

Welp. Guess that's all for tonight. Might or might not continue in the morning. We shall see.
