(pre great war history) the space age 2079
In the late 21st century humanity had started colonizing other planetary objects in Sol Sector. Mars, and hundreds of moons and large asteroids have now be inhabited by humans. In 2083 the governments of earth realize the need for space military branch's and begin a cold war to build space warships.
the space cold war 2083
With the need for security of there Colonies and claimed space bodies the governments of earth started building military ships. The cold war on warship designs lasted for twenty years. With the United states and China being the most dominate.
the third world war 2110
A few years after the cold war, the United States and China formally declared war on each other. As a result of the fighting and China's moves to take control of several areas out side of the Mars line, the formation of the Earth Allied Coalition was ordered by the United Nations. India, Iran, Eurasian nations joined China against the Earth Allied Coalition which was lead by the United States of America and Great Britain. Four years after the start of the Third World War Both sides exchanged in the usage of nuclear weapons. in 2117 The Third World War ended with the Earth Coalition defeating the Eurasian Confederation lead by China. The after math of the nuclear exchange left nine countries totally destroyed, many of the Inner solar systems colonies had been destroyed or heavily damaged by the end of the war.
The new age 2166
The Earth Coalition was placed in charge of expanding the reach of humanity and to space and the protection of its colonies. Mars was undergoing a terraform operation to turn it in to a blue planet full of life like earth. Humans had started to reach in to the stars and deep space with the launch of the Ceti I Mission. Five hundred thousand colonist went in to cryogenic suspension on a mission to colonize distant worlds (These colonist would one day become the Krug). Only forty years after the launch of Ceti I the first faster then light drive system had been successfully tested. Fifteen years after the first FTL drive was tested the FTL system had been integrated on to a few Earth ships and the next Generation of starships was being designed. For the development of next generation ships the Martial Shipyards where built to construct the Cape Coral Cruisers.
the great expansion 2200
Earth started to expand in every direction, unobstructed by alien life as they had yet to encounter any. Humanity started coming together as never before, many had believed that the petty urges of human nature would soon be over come and history. This was a time of celebration and wonder. With the introduction of the Cape Coral Cruisers several years earlier even the most distant colony had a sense of security.
the earth alliance is formed 2229
The Earth Coalition is disbanded and replaced with The Earth Alliance in a major move by the United Nations. By 2232 all nations on earth had finally signed the Earth Alliance charter and became one world, one people. With what was the United Nations had become the Earth Alliance Congress. Searching for new life and to expand and explore the limitless potential of science was the principle mission of the Alliance.
the great war 2338
After the Earth Alliance Government had become corrupted, many wanted to restore the original government others wanted to create their own. Many worlds and whole systems broke away and the NeoTerran Empire was born, now humanity was engulfed in a massive civil war which turned in to humanities First Galactic war and by its end would be known was "The Great War." The Great war had ended in 2346. The war was over and for 90 years after the Great war the NeoTerran Empire had dominance over humanity.
(post great war) history - sorgalian revolution 2436
(2436 Terran federation & pilgrims empire founded)
90 years after "The Great War" with five trillion dead or as Homo Sapiens Sup-Sorga began to see it as three trillion of them needlessly slaughtered in a war the did not ask to fight. Having been Augmented to a further evolutionary state by NeoTerran scientist, Sorga's where now three times stronger and twice as intelligent then the average human. With those improvements they where also capable of functioning on planets with three times earth gravity with no restrictions, able to breath extremely thin oxygen atmospheres and immune to all known diseases. A group of them started to see their superiority and there harsh treatment for what it truly was, enslavement. On March third twenty four thirty six, a force of Sorga's Stormed the Breading facilities on Hells-bon Three and took control of the planet and everything in orbit. The planet was renamed Sorgalia Prime and a message calling out to all Sorga's to rise up and join the Sorgalian revolution was sent.
In response the NeoTerran Empire began to slaughter Sorgalians that had not revolted out of fear they would and the NeoTerrans replaced the now thined ranks with forced conscription's. By the time the NeoTerrans could properly respond the Sorgalians uprising they taken control of eight systems and several battle groups and shipyards and bases. During the start of the revolution several systems saw an oppertunity to break from the grip of the NeoTerran Empire, so during the early days of the Sorgalian Revolution the Pilgrims Empire and the Terran Federation where founded. However forming new governments did not save them from the same actions occurring in NeoTerran space and both the Pilrgims and Federation found them selves fighting a fierce revolution from more sorgalians joining the cause.
One by one Sorgalians began to control more and more ships as the revolt continued to grow. Sorgalia Prime was now on the cusp of being as powerful as the NeoTerran Empire it self. All three governments battled the Sorgalians for every inch of space, and the Sorgalians having already a custom to the harshness of slaughtering and being slaughtered fought unlike any human had seen before. Knowing full well there numbers and how they continued to swell the Sorgalians began to fight this war with suicide runs. "Screaming freedom or death at every engagement."
By the fourth year of the revolution the Sorgalians had now gained enough ships and territory to not only be self sufficient constructing there own new ships and bases, they where considered a new Government by several minor systems which had started to ally them selves with Sorgalians.

The Dark Sphere founded 2456 (sorg rev continued)
The revolution would rage for sixteen more years, destabilizing many minor governments and forcing humanity to cry out for peace. Over the next ten years the revolution had gone from a raging war to boarder skirmish's with the introduction of the order of the Phoenix a group of elite sorgalians that forced the formation of boarders between Sorgalian space and the other governments. By the end of 2466 the Sorgalians had accepted an armistice with the NeoTerran, Terran Federation and Pilrgims Empire Governments, creating established boarders recognized by all sides and policies between each other for handling events.
It would however be another thirty six years before all sorgalians where finally free and living in Sorgalian space. At which point the Sorgalians broke the armistice with the Pilgrims Empire and captured nine systems and stopped advancing; Only stopping because they had what they wanted, the Pilgrims had conceded the rights to those territories due to internal complications. A few short years later the NeoTerrans attempted to create new Sorga's which did not go over well when the Sorgalians discovered this program. In response the Sorgalians completely destroyed the base on IO in the Sol System and destroyed the research facility on Europa. These two events caused the Sorgalians and the NeoTerrans to start fighting again and they continued to fight for seven more years before a new armistice was declared.
Eighteen years later the Cerberus Force attempted to infect the Sorgalians with an engineered virus in response the Sorgalians launched an all out assault on the Cerberus Force and by default battled the forces of the Dark Sphere, this skirmish would last for four years and ended with the collapse of the Cerberus Force. Afterword it would be another twenty six years before the Sorgalians had finally formally declared a true Government system.

After A short period of in fighting to determine leadership and what kind of government the Sorgalians would have the Sorgalian Empire was created. The Pride System was established and The Sorgalian Empire closed its boarders and discontinued communications with the other Governments and systems outside their own space. Shortly after closing the boarders and establishing the pride system in which Sorgalians where divided in to clan prides. Then the Great Purge began, the Purge involved the complete eradication and removal of all normal humans inside Sorgalian Controlled space, all the systems that had supported the revolution where now targets to be removed and repopulated with Sorgalians.
dark sphere expansion 2588
During the Dark Sphere expansion in 2588 they encountered ruins of an ancient race on an uncharted world. The technology discovered by the civilian research team was confiscated and the project classified as a military operation code name Dark Shadow. The Dark Shadow program influenced the Dark Spheres expansion operations for the next thirty years. The other empires where never informed about any break through technologies that started to result from it or discovery of alien tech, Project Dark Shadow became a military black research project shortly after it was removed from civilian control.
The Glorious Order of Black Kabal 2696
Elements of the rage tag scattered forces of the Old Alliance and the scattered remains of the Cerberus Force came together in 2696 to form The Glorious Order of Black Kabal. The Kabal colonized planets in unclaimed and uncharted space. Making hast they quickly established bases and colonies as fast as they could. They then submitted recognition from other powers and opened diplomacy with the other Governments however where ignored by the Sorgalian Empire.
the encounter of 2698
The Seekers and the krug are encountered for the first time, the Sorgalians engage in a two year skirmish with the Krug.
neoterran expansion 2700 - 2704
The NeoTerran Empire begins a military expansion as a result it starts a war with the Terran Federation, for four years this fight raged only to end with the Terran Federation Surrendering.
pilgrims expansion 2708-2712
Negotiations between the Pilgrims Empire and The Glorious Order of Black Kabal break down and the Pilgrims forcefully take the contested systems away from The Glorious Order of Black Kabal. The resulting skirmish lasted only four years ending with an armistice.
2712-2720
All Empires have been spying on one another, distrusting and hateful resentment of each other fuels paranoia and all empires begin a massive military build up.
dark shadows project 2720
Unknown to the other empires just as the second great war was breaking out the Dark Sphere began to test practical applications of it's long running Dark Shadows Project.
the second "great war" 2720 - 2745
In the end of the cold war which was from 2712-2720 The Glorious Order of Black Kabal launch a surprise attack on the Pilgrims Empire. At the same time the Pilgrims had just launched an all out invasion of the Terran Federation. The NeoTerran Empire launched an attack on the Pilgrims Empire and the Dark Sphere. The Orion Organization (founded 2426) makes it's self known as the Neoterran Empires Second Military force and attacks The Glorious Order of Black Kabal and the Terran Federation. The Second Great War has begun with an all out battle royal.
After six years the Sorgalian Empire launch's a massive invasion across all boarders having had waited long enough for the others to be off balance from one another. Having launched a massive invasion across all empires the Sorgalians take control of several Key systems from Pilgrims, NeoTerrans and Dark Sphere. After this accomplishment the Sorgalians go in to a defensive posture to hold and consolidate there new positions. The War rages on and it is not until 2732 in the Milky way Galaxy the Terran Federation cuts The Glorious Order of Black Kabal territory in half. Meanwhile in the Andromeda Galaxy the The Glorious Order of Black Kabal had done the same to the Terran Federation. While this had happened the Pilgrims had re-entered the Andromeda galaxy and took back half of their captured space from the NeoTerrans.
The Sorgalians have continued to maintain a defensive buffer along there boarders and only sending out hit and run attacks. Many have considered the Sorgalians out of the war by now. It was not until 2736 that the Sorgalians went on the move again but this time had been haulted by the Pilgrims and the NeoTerrans. Shortly after with the Sorgalians push stalled they began launching Inter-galactic Missiles against the other empires, these missiles where holding Biological weapons. The NeoTerrans and Dark Sphere responded and launched Nuclear weapons of all grades at every empire. By 2740 two thousand twenty eight worlds had been decimated, a short lived truce had been declared and lasted for nine months, only to be broken by the Dark Sphere.
The Second Great War did not end until 2745 after a long twenty five years of war, a peace treaty between all empires was established except for the Sorgalian Empire who only would accept an armistice. The boarders where redrawn, the healing began, many worlds once lush and fertile now are wast lands, that will take centuries to be livable again. This time for this war a total of two trillion lives had been lost, thankfully the planets decimated by war had not been larger populations. Many believe a third war would mean the extinction of the human race.

(Urcath invasion 2725)
In the middle of the Second great war, the Urcath Hives where encountered. Even though all empires where already fighting each other they also had to fend off Urcath Invasions of there home territories. The Urcath Invasion last for a year during the Second Great War.
The galactic union created 2812
Like the old United Nations of twentieth and twenty first century earth the Galactic Union is an organization of the major, secondary and minor powers of the known galaxies. The Sorgalians came to take there place on the Union during the creation and had been refused entry in to the Union. The Galactic Union being ruled by the NeoTerrans, Pilgrims, Kabal, Dark Sphere and Terran Federation had been manipulated by the Neoterran Empire in to denying Sorgalians rights and acknowledgements by Galactic law due to the fact they had originally been created and where not a natural evolution of life. The law passed and as a result the Sorgalians cut all ties with the other empire and closed there boarders, declaring any vessel not sorgalian found in there space would be destroyed, with out warning.
the neoterran skirmish 3026 (281 yrs after great war II)
The Neoterran Empire begins working on new weapons to fight Sorgalians in the hopes of returning them to slavery and punish them for the brutality of the Sorgalian revolution and the acts during the Second Great War. The Sorgalians are informed of the situation and launch a surprise attack on the Neoterran empires heart, Earth. The Sorgalians destroyed the research and launched bio weapons and bombarded earth. Sixty three percent of earth has been decimated in the battle, twenty six percent of earth will never support life again. After the battle the sorgalians returned to there space, the Neoterran empire demanded the Galactic Union take action against the Sorgalians. But their request was denied as the Sorgalians where not recognized as a government any more under the new galactic laws, thanks to the NeoTerrans back in 2812. There for no legal action to force a restitution was taken and there would be no military action on the Neoterrans behalf. In response to the galactic unions stand on the skirmish the NeoTerrans withdrew from the Galactic Union and closed their boarders. The Neoterrans then began open negotiations with the Orion, Horse Head, Dugarian and Pleaties Pirate groups in the hopes of using pirates to wage a secret war against the other empires. After constructing a powerful new class of destroyers for the pirates, the pirates shortly after betrayed the NeoTerrans and took the construction facility at Alta
