CHAPTER 1


United Nations Federation

History

After many centuries of wars, hatred, hunger, humanity at the beginning of the XXIII century, has become one species united under a single great nation. The United Nations Federation, whose fundamental principles are democracy, freedom and equality. However, this path was not easy, this path began, with the formation of the United Nations Organization in 1948, after the end of the Second World War, with the aim of grouping the different countries of the planet into a supranational organization, to avoid another conflict on a global scale, and protect human rights. However, at the beginning the UN had no real power over the member states.
The space development during the 20th century, thanks to a new space race between the different world powers, resulted in the fact that by the year 2070 there were small perishing colonies in different countries on the moon and Mars, little by little international cooperation was increasing. .
The development of new propulsion systems allowed the exploration of the solar system that previously took decades to just weeks, due to this it did not take long to arrive what many feared, the discovery of extraterrestrial life, it was the year 2095, during the export of the moon of the Planet Jupiter, Europa a frozen world with liquid water below its surface. By drilling the icy surface of the moon, it was possible to reach the great ocean of salt water, the first images of alien life was that of a creature similar to fish on earth, although without eyes due to the light of the are a has reached those depths.

The first sign of extraterrestrial life was found on the frozen moon Europa



The discovery of alien life changed everything on earth, if there are different types of life in our system, what happens to the thousands of star systems in the galaxy?
Years later in the exploration of Titan, Saturus' largest moon, life was also discovered, this time adapted to the lakes of liquid methane that abound on the moon. Immediately all types of human landing or contact with alien creatures were prohibited, on both moons, investigations could only be carried out by robots.

Image of Saturn and its largest moon Titan

The first years of the neglect of alien life were difficult, especially for most religions, the fanaticism of many led to mass suicides, others simply denied the facts, conspiracy theories abounded, despite everything in less than 50 years humanity put their differences aside, without conflict, without hunger, with policies that are based on the common good and science. Technological development made it possible to recover from climate change, which caused so much damage in the last century.
In the year 2165 the United Nations Federation was founded, all the nations of the earth were now part of a single country, with different cultures, and languages, respectful of personal freedoms and human rights, humanity for the first time was united. However, not everyone enacted with this idea.
The great problem of interstellar travel is the great distances, the closest star, Proxima cenauri, is approximately 4 light years away, with the new propulsion techniques, the trip would take at least 400 years, all this was solved with the invention of the hyperspace engine in the year 2195 now traveling to the nearest star only took months, at last it is a dream of exploring the galaxy within the reach of humanity.

the curvature motor allows interstellar travel in a few days

The organization of the United Nations Federation (UNF)

Prime Minister: Sara Williams,
System of government: Parliamentary Republic
Elections: every 4 years the representatives of the world congress are elected, they elect the prime minister who forms the government
Justice: World Judicial Branch, judges are elected by the prime minister and prior approval of the world congress
All of the above is regulated in the Constitution of the United Nations Federation
Political situation: The Federation is divided into several sectors
1. The confederation of North America: Includes the former countries of Canada, the United States, and Mexico.
2. The union of the Caribbean: This includes all Central America, from Guatemala, to Panama, plus all the Caribbean islands
3. The union of South American countries: In this are all the countries of South America
4. The European Federation: based on the former European Union, it also includes the African countries with the Mediterranean coast, plus Russia
5. The Arab League: includes all Middle Eastern countries includes Iran and Pakistan
6. Oceania: includes Australia, New Zealand plus some Pacific islands
7. The African Union: includes all the countries of the African continent except those of the north with the Mediterranean coast
8. Indochina: includes India and Southeast Asian countries, plus Indonesia
9. The Asian Union: includes China, Japan and Korea
10. Luna: Due to its large population it was decided to give it sector status a short time ago

The earth and the moon year 2200, population 15,000 billion and 50 million respectively, Birth controls delayed the uncontrolled increase in population

The Moon from Earth, its cities can be seen with the naked eye, trips to the satellite are already routine.

New York, at the beginning of the XXIII century

Mars: population 10,000 mainly scientists, colonization of the planet is not a priority yet, the planet is suitable for terraforming


In the rest of the solar system there are several research posts, such as in the gas giants, such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune and their moons, as well as mining stations in the asteroid belts

Yuri Gagarin Station, Spaceport, and Shipyard: Occupants: 5,000

First trip outside the solar system


First spacecraft equipped with the new warp engine, to be able to make the trip it must go to the limits of the solar system. The destination is the Alpha Centauri system, composed of 3 stars all with planets, where it is speculated that one of them is habitable for humans.
The crew of 20 scientists, led by Commander Carla Sánchez, will become the first human beings to leave the solar system. The transmission of the trip was broadcast to the billions of people spread throughout the solar system, now thanks to the invention of instantaneous transmissions, communications only have a delay of minutes, and not hours as before.

After a few hours the Ship disappears, it will take 10 minutes to resume communications, on earth and other places in the solar system are totally paralyzed for this historic moment. At 11 minutes the first transmission arrives, it was the commander "jump completed, we entered the Alpha centauri system"

The spacecraft's sensors immediately detected what many astronomers believed generations ago - all the stars in the system had planets, many of them the size of Earth. On March 30, 2200, it was recorded in the history of mankind

Delighted you decided to port this over.

 

[HistoryDude]

Happy this is being ported!

Not a bad start...

I wonder if that life on the moons of the gas giants will become relevant later...

 

[youstas]

Finally, a human ARR! Subbed, looking forward for new chapters.

CHAPTER 2

New worlds

Much earlier than expected, in the exploration of the planet, Alpha Centauri III , a discovery was made that changed everything

The cibrex

“We have recovered the artifacts of an ancient alien civilization in Alpha Centauri VI is incredible, but this civilization that was called the cibrex, seems to have been composed of machines united by a kind of collective consciousness. The age of the artifacts indicates that it was active for about 600,000 years, at least in this part of the galaxy, but we have not discovered anything about its exact origins.

According to a piece of partial data that our scientists managed to extract from some artifacts, the coversx began, for unknown reasons, a crusade to destroy all intelligent organic life in the galaxy“

We have recovered the artifacts of an ancient alien civilization in Alpha Centauri III is incredible, but this civilization that was called the cibrex, seems to have been composed of machines united by a kind of collective consciousness. The age of the artifacts indicates that it was active for about 600,000 years, at least in this part of the galaxy, but we have not discovered anything of its exact origins.
According to a piece of partial data that our scientists managed to extract from some artifacts, the coversx started, for unknown reasons, a crusade to destroy all intelligent organic life in the galaxy.

Alpha Centauri III, was a rocky world a little bigger than the earth, but without an atmosphere very similar to Mars, in the first days of the manned expeditions it was evident the existence of artificial structures, metal parts can be found everywhere. After analyzing a series of artifacts, it was learned that the Cibrex were a race of robots, programmed to exterminate all intelligent life. The big question was Who built these robots? What happened to them?

Image representing one of the robot models found on the planet.

First habitable planet

Despite previous great discovery, exploration of the system continued, the next destination was Alpha Centauri II A, a moon of the large gaseous planet Alpha Centauri II. The moon has 90% of the mass of the earth, with the naked eye you can see oceans, continents, and clouds, the analyzes have concluded that it is a habitable system for humans.

First image of Athena, very soon became the most viewed image in the solar system

In the first manned expeditions the moon, now preliminarily baptized as Athena, was able to verify that it was habitable for humans, the wild fauna and trees were very similar to those on earth. As the days went by, artificial constructions became evident, they were cities, hundreds of buildings, houses and vehicles were buried shallowly, in addition to fossilized remains of the ancient inhabitants, with a technological level similar to ours, remains of the Killer robots found previously, suddenly everything made sense, the kuur were the creators of the robots which rebelled against their masters and exterminated them all, the date of the remains found is 600,000 years ago, it is speculated that if those machines visited our solar system.

"Kuur Homeworld"
“Alpha Centauri IIA was the homeworld of the ancient Kuur, an alien civilization wiped out by the Cibrex some 600,000 years ago. The minerals on the satellite have been thoroughly mined by machines, and all that remains of the Kuur civilization are scattered ruins. The rest is dust "


The great expansion

The world congress has approved at the proposal of the prime minister, the construction of a second exploration ship, in addition to a construction ship. The objective is to expand the domains of the UNF, to neighboring systems, and the construction of mining and scientific stations.

Image of the first mining station built outside the solar system

The first contact

The expectation for the discovery of extraterrestrial ruins did not last long, another spacecraft investigating the XI Bootes system, when without any warning a strange ship appeared in the confines of the system, all communication attempts were in vain, the aliens are not hostile. On Earth, a select group of scientists, linguists and mathematicians were chosen to develop a system of communication with the aliens.

First contact with an alien civilization

“Contact report: enigmatic travelers”
“The news of the alien ships crossing the ether has reached earth, and in many respects complete the first stage of the United Nations Federation's odyssey to create a stellar empire.”

An urgent meeting was called, to all nations belonging to the UNF, the objective to agree on the actions to follow, for the new discoveries of intelligent extraterrestrial life, will they be hostile? They all wondered. A great and heated debate took place, the military construction law was approved by a simple majority. The construction of 3 star corvettes was ordered, armed with the best technology available

UNF government building

The new corvettes were armed with 4 mass thrusters, capable of firing solid projectiles at high speed, and a laser cannon was also included. In the field of armor, the corvette was protected by special carbon nanotube armor, finally including experimental deflector shields.

The first Armada leaving the shipyards

In the different world capitals, millions of people demonstrate against the militarization of space.

Second habitable planet discovered, it is located in the Sirius system, preliminarily it was given the name of Odin


After months of research, the alien language could finally be deciphered

Established communications

After successfully translating your language, we have established communications with Zemmerpuk Unity. Diplomatic channels are open and all hostilities have ceased

The first communication with another alien civilization was another historical milestone, the Zemmerpuk were a race very similar to the bees of the earth, their society was governed by a hive mind, they are a peaceful race, very curious about our species. A border has been agreed between the two, to avoid conflicts

Image of the expectation generated by the arrival of the UNF ambassador, to the only world of the Zemmerpuk.

First encounter with the aliens

The news that we have encountered alien life for the first time has spread through the United Nations Federation. Citizens are fascinated by these beings, and the press is full of articles and speculation about their culture and society. The discovery that we are not alone in the galaxy has been widely celebrated on earth.
Like us, the aliens seem to be practically newcomers to the scene of the galaxy and their technological level is similar to ours


New contact

Without ending the great expectation of the first contact, unexpectedly this time it was other aliens who made the contact
The Sondrithan, living in an aquatic world, are a species of mollusks that, like us recently invented while traveling through space. Their entire society is governed by a megacorporation, where citizens work for a large company. The exchange of information was cordial at first, however and without prior notice all communications were cut off, borders were also closed by the aliens. It is analyzed whether the closing of borders is due to the occupation of nearby star systems by the UNF.

The first colony

The world congress by absolute majority has approved, the colonization of the Alpha Centaur system, the international astronomical association has finally approved that the name of the moon will be Athena.

After the 2-month journey the 10,000 settlers reached their destination, although a little colder than the earth, the moon is perfectly habitable, immediately the settlers began with the construction of the first settlement

"First human settlement
The colony ship has made landfall gently at the mouth of a large river delta, on one of Athena's various continents. This region of temperate forests will be an ideal site for the first landing.
The ship has been permanently converted into the administrative headquarters of the new settlement, and we are in the process of removing the main reactor to serve as a temporary power source for the colony.
Hundreds of small tents and pre-made shelters have sprung up around the massive hull of the ancient spaceship as settlers have begun to disembark in numbers in the first man-made city on an alien world."

Conflicts

By the year 2216 a series of border problems occurred with the Sondrithan finally the tensions between the 2 nations reached a critical point for the year 2221, when the aliens claimed 3 star systems on the Common border.
The alarms spread throughout the nation, the world congress approved an emergency law, the construction of another 5 corvettes, in addition to investing in military technology. The fear of an interstellar war was greater than ever.

[stnylan]

Seems like you have them blocked off for now - but it does look like a bit of a contrained start with the Unity on the other side.

 

[KODRAM]

Seems like you have them blocked off for now - but it does look like a bit of a contrained start with the Unity on the other side.

They had bad luck, they can no longer expand, in fact they even reclaimed the solar system,
who knows if a war breaks out

 

[HistoryDude]

Well, more ancient empires don't seem to exist...

Interstellar war is probably coming...

I wonder if that will prevent the creation of space pirates?

 

[KODRAM]

Chapter 3

Not all the news related to aliens were negative, a few months later the FNU received a proposal from the Zemmerpu, a mutual non-aggression agreement in addition to an investigation agreement, which was accepted, in addition to speculating the post-civility of a future alliance between the 2 races.

Strange encounter

In the explorations of the stellar systems near the earth, in the atmosphere of a gas giant the presence of a giant spaceship adrift was detected, all communication attempts were in vain. After a while, a military team boarded the ship, finding no crew, the ship is fully operational. The decision was made to incorporate it into our fleet after a long period of examination of its technology.

The now baptized FNU Paris had very advanced weapons technology, by itself it had more firepower than the entire fleet combined.

The proposal for Peace

In the times of maximum border tension between the FNU and the Sondrithan, a proposal for the exchange of ambassadors between the 2 nations was presented by pacifist groups of the earth, so that this way that each race can know the other less, and avoid a conflict that will not benefit anyone.
The proposal was communicated to the Sondrithan, after a few months without an answer, the proposal was surprisingly accepted.
lThe agreement was as follows: Within 2 terrestrial years the exchange of ambassadors and their entourage will take place, all technical and security preparations were made.

First image of the aquatic world capital of the Sondrithan


At first the arrival of the UNF ambassador was incredible, an aquatic world on earth was believed that without fire no civilization could prosper, however here was the proof of their error. Due to the high pressures that exist in the depths of the planet, a special environment was prepared for the survival of the entire entourage, in meetings and special visits, the ambassador had to wear all the time a special suit, adapted for human survival.

Image of a water town of the Sondrithan

The arrival of the Sondrithan ambassador to Earth was a big news event in the FNA, hundreds of millions saw the arrival live. The ambassador was fascinated with the terrestrial oceans and their marine species, but especially by the deserts. For months he traveled all corners of the planet, giving lectures and accepting questions from academics, biologists and botanists, fascinated with the extraterrestrial biology.
After the cultural exchange between the 2 nations was over, relations improved a bit, the appointment of permanent ambassadors was agreed

With the cultural exchange between the 2 planets, tensions lowered, a trade agreement was agreed, now the Sondrithan can now establish trade branches in all UNF Worlds.

The first commercial branch of the Sondrithan, was inaugurated on earth

The great proposal

Surprisingly, the Zemmerpuk invited us to be part of a Federation between the 2 Nations to face together challenges that the exploration of the Galaxy presents. After a great discussion at the FNU the proposal was accepted.

A new federation

Let this day go down in the annals., or governments of the zemmerpuk Unity and the federation of the united nations signed a federation pact. As founding members of the Star Legue, they will face the future as firm allies.

This new galactic union will show the rest of the galaxy everything that can be achieved thanks to cooperation.
A new era of diplomacy begins

The historic moment of the signing of the Federation treaty, was seen by all the inhabitants of both Nations from now on they face the dangers of the galaxy together

New colony

New colony of the UNF, Odin was the chosen name

Map to the year 2240, the borders of the Federation increase every year

New inventions

With the scientific exchange that the FNU now maintains with 2 alien races, the idea of planet terraforming resurfaces, there are 4 planets within its borders, but all of them have a low habitability for human beings, a settlement would take many ways. A special scientific team was entrusted with the task of investigating this project

The sigma world Draconis III, is the ideal candidate for terraforming, it is very close to the solar system, currently due to its high mountains and a very icy climate, it is practically uninhabitable by humans


The least expected meeting

In the year 2241, the language of another extraterrestrial race was deciphered, but this time it was not what everyone expected

The Skinet eradicators are a humanoid robotic race, due to the hostile messages received, they only have one goal in mind, the annihilation of all intelligent life they find. In the FNU they wonder if these machines are related to the cibrex, which we have found, because both races have the same objective.

Map of the machine empire, its territory is a little larger than that of the FNU, but its fleets are much more numerous and powerful.

Panic

The news of the discovery of the empire of machines, caused a great impact on the FNU, the panic of being the next victims of extermination, as happened with the kuur in Athena, led to that even the most pacifists did not oppose the increase of the military budget, in this way the increase of space fleets was ordered, in addition to the construction of a new type of ship, the destroyer.

New designs of space destroyers, ready to go into production The first had laser weapons and short and medium range pass thrusters, the second seriously had a new weapon, a long range pass thruster. It has been decided that like the corvettes these ships have the names of non-capital cities of the world

New colony

Year 2247, despite all the bad news the colonization continued, Brahma was the chosen name.

A potential ally?

No one was surprised by the contact of a new alien race, it was only expected to know if they are hostile or not, fortunately it is the last

The Ik-Nur-van are a megacorporation, with a militaristic attitude, their empire is located on the other side of the empire of machines. In the first contacts the aliens were friendly and very interested in doing business with the UNF.

Terrible stories

After a dangerous journey the ambassador of the Ik-Nur-van arrives on earth, a commercial and research agreement was agreed, but the most important point was another. According to the aliens, for centuries the Skinet, the robotic race with which both nations have a border, go from planet to planet exterminated all intelligent life that is found in them, its capital is a machine world where hundreds if not thousands of auto factories are found. replicants, much like the shipyards. They also say that more than 200 years ago another civilization was exterminated by the machines, but strangely after they entered a hibernation period, all the machines abandoned their conquests and returned to their machine world, the causes are not known, but it is believed that it was a computer virus left its victims before disappearing. However, more than 20 terrestrial years ago the machines woke up from their sleep, during all this time they have recovered their conquests, increasing their populations and fleets.

Image of a city in ruins, provided by the ambassador of the Ik-Nur-van, the destruction caused by the machines was unimaginable, you could still find remains of the ancient inhabitants of the planet.

 

[stnylan]

Ahh, so with the Skinet there is a common foe. That should - hopefully - make some diplomacy easier. And with the federation should hopefully proffer some additional backup if things go wrong.

 

[KODRAM]

Ahh, so with the Skinet there is a common foe. That should - hopefully - make some diplomacy easier. And with the federation should hopefully proffer some additional backup if things go wrong.

We will see how my ally behaves, hopefully they will be a contribution in a future war

 

[HistoryDude]

Most aliens are friendly. Good.

The Skinet are a threat, though. They must be exterminated!

 

[KODRAM]

Most aliens are friendly. Good.

The Skinet are a threat, though. They must be exterminated!

In spite of everything I do not trust my ally much, but I hope that he will help me in the inevitable war against the machines

 

[KODRAM]

chapter 4

A strange discovery

It was in the Aclinda system, during the system exploration, the presence of a strange artificial structure was discovered, it has been concluded that it is an ancient portal, built by an unknown race, which allows instant travel between portals , FNU scientists wonder if they will ever be able to crack this technology.

Start of terraforming

For the year 2256, FNU has decided to start with the terraforming process of 2 planets, near the Earth, within approximately 10 years, these 2 worlds should have a similar appearance to the earth and the other colonies.

New contact

By the year 2259 a new alien race made contact with de UNF

The Vurxac were a race of insects, their society was run by a hereditary absolute Monarchy, they are neutral towards the FNU, there are plans to establish diplomatic relations.

Galactic Map for the year 2263

hostile machines

In the year 2263 in the exploration of the Hyshma system, a scientific ship encountered a small fleet of Robots, when making contact it was immediately attacked, the damage was of such magnitude, it could not make the emergency jump, the small exploration ship was completely destroyed with its 20 crew members.

Having a hostile fleet so close to the borders of the FNU, it was unacceptable, immediately the order was given for the entire fleet to put the Hyshm system on the ground.

UNF fleet on the way to the first combat in its history, due to the great distances the fleet will arrive in approximately 3 years.

Terraforming completed

By the year 2267, the terraforming project started 10 years ago has finally ended, with much better results than expected, both worlds are now completely habitable by humans.

Scientists wonder if this technology could be used in the planets of the solar system of Mars and Venus, it is concluded that there is still a long way to go before this type of technology is available.

Before and after the terraforming, the Colonization project of both systems began immediately, Bi Fang and Inti were the names chosen.

The day of combat

The UNF fleet after a long journey finally reached the Hyshma system, the presence of the machines could be verified, it was time for combat.

The fleet began its advance, the corvettes armed with atomic missiles would be the first to fire.

Image of the fleet of the UNF advancing against the machines

It was the corvette UNF Florianópolis that carried out the first of a long-distance atomic missile against the machines, the destroyer FNU Bristol seconded the shot with its mass impeller at long range, the projectile fired at high speed reached its objective, before that the missile in a few minutes later the rest of the fleet fired all its artillery. In response the machines returned fire by means of laser weapons.

The fleets collided with each other, carrying out all kinds of maneuvers to avoid colliding.At the beginning, Admiral Alessandra Fortabat trusted that the new shields would be effective against the laser weapons of the machines, and at first it was like that. . In the first minutes of combat the shields of the ships held. On the other hand, the robots also had shields, but little by little these began to fail, it was a mass impeller shot by the UNF Dresden Corvette that completely destroyed the first of the enemy ships.

While the combat continued, the corvette UNF Nagoya received a direct hit, the damage was very serious, before the main systems were turned off, it made an emergency jump to avoid destruction.

Image showing the destroyer UNF Krakow, firing a deadly shot from its laser cannon at one of the robotic ships

Image of the Corvette UNF Calama, using its shields

Cruiser UNF Paris, firing its main armament, this was the same ship rescued from the atmosphere a gas giant years ago, its armament is incredible, but it is not yet possible to replicate it

Unfortunately UNF Tijuana received a direct hit on the reactor, it exploded immediately, there was no time for the emergency balance, all 250 crew members died.

fIn these images you can see the last seconds of UNF Tijuana, the first image is when it receives the fatal impact, the second is the explosion that occurred seconds later.

After 2 hours of fierce fighting, everything was over, the machines were defeated. The feeling of triumph was overshadowed by the news of the destruction of the Tijuana UNF, furthermore ¾ parts of the fleet received some kind of damage, some serious.

The total of the casualties amounted to 400, this showed that the military forces of the UNF were not prepared for a large-scale conflict. What will happen when the imperial machine invades us? Can we defend our territory and our people? They all wondered at the UN.

Nomads

In the year 2273, the FNU made contact with aliens as is common, but these were very different from those already found previously.

“We are the Ekwynian, her preferred servants of the Void, the all-seeing, all-knowing, and most of all the supreme Avenger who rules space.

She was the one who ordered us to leave our planetary home eons ago to move into her eternal domain, the cold depths of space, hunt down the infidels, and satisfy her through sacrifice.

But the Doctrinal Wars have sapped our strength and we are now a divided people struggling to discern the true path She wants us to travel. We can earn their favor by destroying alien heretics, even under the command of other heretics. So many of our warriors are willing to fight your wars, but at a price.”

There is concern in the UNF, although they are far away, no one knows if they will ever attack, if they decide to end their differences and attack the civilized peoples of the Galaxy they will be a danger to all civilized nations.

Change of strategy

Due to the great distances that separate the Earth from the machine empire, the decision was made to park the fleet in the Minchir system, less than 3 jumps from the border, the construction of 2 shipyards begins, for the production and repair of ships

In the year 2275 the expansion of the Yuri Gagarin space station was completed, now it will have 2 more shipyards, in addition to greenhouses for the production of food, this same design will be built in the new home of the fleet in the Minchi system.


The Galactic community

During the first months of year 2278 we received the communication not from an alien empire but from a representative of the so-called "Community Galactica". It was an organization that brought together the majority of civilizations in the galaxy, with the aim of working together, having common laws in different areas, from the creation of a Galactic Market, the rights of workers, the care of the environment and more controversial the situation of slavery. However, the Community Galactica did not have the means to impose these laws on its member states, it was a kind of 20th century UN, it could only impose economic sanctions and if the members agree.

birth of the galactic community

Various empires of space travelers, some unknown to us, have come together to form a Community Galactica. This supranational institution will serve as a forum for discussing important issues.

Although we did not participate in its creation, the rest of the members have invited the UNF to join formally, do we accept?

The UNF as a democratic republic, accepted the proposal, a few months later it received contact from at least 6 alien civilizations, which were unknown, although among them was one that would change things very soon.

The great surprise that the FNU ran into was the existence of another empire of the Zemmerpuk race, they were also a hive mind that ruled their entire society and also only had one world that concentrated their entire civilization. The Zemmerpuk allies of the UNF explained that they are their brothers lost generations ago, a hive queen made a trip to the distant stars in search of another world that would meet the conditions to be able to settle, until they succeeded.

In the FNU it is expected that this new civilization is as cooperative as its brothers.

In black is the new location of the base of the FNU fleet, you can also see the new nation of the Zemmerpuk race, they are very close to our allies

An ancient empire

In the nearby systems exports, the presence of a new alien race was detected, according to information from the Galactic Senate, it is an old empire of religious fanatics. They have technology far superior to that of any nation in the galaxy, millennia ago they were a great empire that dominated many systems, but for centuries they have been in decline, for centuries they have been sheltered in a few systems, totally isolated from the rest of the world. galaxy. Of the few communications that we have from them warn against colonizing certain worlds sacred to them, the FNU has made the decision to avoid these worlds to avoid the wrath of these ancient aliens.

New colonies

In the year 2278 a new period of colonization begins, with the terraforming of worlds completed, colonies are established in the newly baptized worlds of Baal and Abassi.

The change that came to stay

Many years ago the FNU had migration treaties with some alien nations, however, no colonized planet had the conditions for them to survive. However, this changed with "RA" which was not a terraformed world. It had the perfect conditions for life not only for humans, but for all known forms of life. Due to the above, some alien populations decided to settle in the small colony and live alongside humans. The images of the ships with the newcomers marked a historical fact, from now on the FNU will not only be inhabited by humans, but now it has become an interspecies nation. Immediately, any alien migrating to any UNF territory was granted the same rights as any human being.

The first inter-species colony of the UNF, it would not be the first

An amazing day for physics

At first, black omens only existed in theory by means of mathematical calculations, later by means of observations, their existence could be verified, but for generations scientists longed for the possibility of seeing one, until in the year 2278 finally a The exploration probe relayed the images of one of them, which was celebrated by all the scientists of the FNU, with this they would have decades of data to analyze.

Machines attack

In the middle of the year 2286 terrible news arrived, finally the Empire of the machines, restarted its attack against the intelligent life of the galaxy, its first victim would be its neighbor the Ik-Nur-Val. All the alarms went off in the UNF. Would they be the next victim when the Ik-Nur-Val were exterminated?

Immediately the fleet was ordered to be reinforced, the generals devised strategies for an attack against the other flank of the machine empire. In addition, the Ik-Nur-Val were asked for information on the armament of the machines to devise the best way to deal with them.

A nasty surprise

The years passed in calm for the FNU despite the attack of the machines to another empire, the colonies grew more and more, the economy was stronger than ever, while the attack plans against the machines advanced, but in the year 2288, the FNU received a communication that it did not expect.

The Zemmenrpuk, announced their withdrawal from the Federation, as well as from the research and mutual aid treaties, for the first time in decades the UNF felt vulnerable, now it could be attacked and no one would come to its aid.

The reasons for the abandonment of the federation by the Zemmenrpuk are not known, but it is believed to be related to the other empire of the same species that the UNF found years ago

A second Zemmerpuk Empire appears and the original one abandons the federation? That's the kind of surprise that will be gossiped about in the Galactic Community for decades to come!

I must confess that when I was creating empires for my game, but I forgot to erase the empire that I translated into Spanish, so now there are 2 empires of the same race with the same name

 

[HistoryDude]

Well, terraforming is a thing now!

Also, having the backing of the Galactic Community will be good for future wars, even if not all of your allies are... reliable.

chapter 5

Fleet Redesign

The first images of the machines' warships show that their weapons are made up of Lasers, and missiles, their armor and shields are scarce, the machines base their fleet on numbers. The fleets are immediately ordered to redesign with cannons capable of destroying these missiles before they reach their objectives, in this way the firepower of the machines will be greatly diminished.

New military technologies

The final decision

In the year 2289 with the news of the destruction of the fleets of the Ik-Nur-Val, by the machines, leaving their defenseless worlds awaiting annihilation. The UNF has decided to attack the machines, the order was given to the Federation Army to begin the long journey to meet the fleet stationed near the border.

Army of the UNF leaving the solar system, they are soon joined by contingents from the other worlds, such as Athena, Odin and Ra.

All ready for war

November 29, 2292, everything was ready, the fleets were in position, only the last order was missing, for the first time in its history humanity entered an interstellar war, but unlike other wars this was different, it was not for resources, neither religion, nor politics, was to ensure the survival of the human race from annihilation, if something was not done it was only a matter of time for the machines to attack humanity.

Now that the great fleets of the machine empire were busy attacking the Ik-Nur-Val, it was the perfect time for a pre-emptive and surprise attack. The target, the capital world of the machines, it is speculated that the great central processor is in that place, once destroyed the machines should stop working, although it was only a theory.

War

Finally, the order to jump to the first machine system is given, the fleet began operations, the first combat of the war was with a small space station, the UNF Paris was the one that fired the first shot. Fortunately all the missiles fired by the station were successfully intercepted, the combat ended with no casualties.

In the second system of the invasion the UNF found the first planet dominated by the machines, the garrison was minimal immediately the bomber started

First Navy starting the bombardment

Images of the orbital bombardment of the world, the fire is only concentrated in the strengths and structures of the machines.

The ground force of the UNF, far exceeded the army of the machines

After just over a month the resistance ended, immediately ordering the destruction of every machine found on the hostile planet or not.

During 5 years the continuous war, system after system fell under the control of the UNF, the world of Maquina was getting closer and closer. The resistance of the machines was minimal, no news of his great fleet, until on March 25, 2299, a terrifying news was received.

The machines have conquered the IK world of the Ik-Nur-Val, immediately the extermination of its population began, those who did not die from the terrible and indiscriminate orbital bomber, were hunted one by one. The terrible images of the genocide caused by the machines were broadcast to the entire UNF, causing great terror in the population. A second fleet was ordered to invade more systems of the machine empire and end the war at once.

Planet IK, occupied by machines unfortunately, none of its inhabitants would survive.

Second fleet starting its advance, its objective is another part of the empire of machines

Attack plan of the second Navy, the ultimate goal is to meet the first navy, in the center of the machine empire.

New Ships


Finally, the design of the new type of warship was ready, the cruiser, taking the designs of the UNF Paris, was armed with the best technology of its time, the construction of 2 ships was ordered to reinforce the first navy.

Image of the new warship, it was decided that each of these would be named after the most important capitals of the Earth, it was armed with 2 long-distance rail guns and 2 medium-range laser weapons.

The world machine

July 24, 2305, the first fleet enters the capital system of the Machine Empire, after a small combat with a space station, it is detected that all the planets of the system have serious damage, with their cores exposed, except one that corresponds to the enormous machine world.

Image of one of the worlds of the system, it is believed that the machines purposely destroyed these worlds to have material to build their capital world.

Upon reaching the orbit of the planet Dekronia, capital of the Skinet, the bombardment began immediately, the main objectives were the self-replicating factories, the centers of troops, in general since there was no biological life on the planet, there was no distinction to the When choosing targets, the bombardment would last 2 years until the troops asked to land in search of the expected central processor and thus end the war.

The machine world was covered by metal, artificial structures, factories, mineral processors, to feed its great empire, it had no land, no oceans, biological life was not possible here. In addition, it had by itself half of the robotic population of its empire, if it fell it would be a point of infection in the war.

Image of the first minutes of the bombardment on the world machines, in some places for the first time in centuries the earth came to the surface.

After the bombardment ended, the ground forces decided to initiate the massive landing of 2,000,000 soldiers who landed on different sides of the planet. The orbital bombardment had caused a lot of damage, but also the machines presented a fierce residence.

The surface resistance of the machines lasted about a year, the capital fell on May 15, 2308, now it was left to go deep into the machine world, in search of the central processor before the large machine fleets try to recover their world.

An incredible mega structure

While the events unfolded in the capital world of the machines, the second fleet of the UNF advanced almost without resistance, in one of these systems they encountered something very strange, a mega structure in ruins orbited a gas giant.

The mega structure is speculated to have been built by an ancient civilization, unrelated to machines, it is expected that in the distant future humanity may also build similar structures.

A cibrex research center

It is believed that the cibrex experimented with biological creatures to find out their weaknesses, however, it is unknown why this station was abandoned

The machines contract


At the time of the capture of the capital world of the machines, they had already conquered 4 planets of the Ik-Nur-Va, before they could capture another world, all their flora changed their course to their occupied capital, the counterattack of the machines was running.

In the capital world of machines, priority was given to the search for the central processor and to destroy it before the great machine fleet returned, meanwhile it was ordered that both fleets unite, in addition to being reinforced with all kinds of combat ships, and waiting the arrival of the machines.

Immense machine fleet approaches little by little, to recover its capital

Combined UNF fleet, preparing for the arrival of the machine fleet, will be known as the "battle of the binary stars"

The central processor

Finally, after months of searching, the central processor of the machines was finally located, it was in the deepest confines of the planet, every time the forces of the UNF made an advance, the robotic resistance was getting stronger, this gave hope that, with the destruction of this central processor, the machines would shut down.

New models of war robots, the resistance of the machines was increasingly fierce as the forces of the UNF entered the planet, strangely many of them with a resemblance to humans.

After a long battle the central processor is destroyed, for a moment the machines were paralyzed, the soldiers celebrated the defeat of the machines, but after a few minutes the machines were reactivated. The theory of being able to beat the machines easily was completely wrong, the machines easily turned on another central processor in a distant system.

The only way to defeat the machines is to destroy them completely, occupy their planets and leave no trace of him.

The machine fleet continued its advance, now there is nothing that can stop the counterattack of the machine fleet, everything will be decided in a single space combat, if the UNF is defeated, the machines will recover their capital, and with this they will have sufficient resources attack the inhabited worlds of the UNF.
