Background: I am playing a Custom race named: D'hara Empire (cheesy name ripped from terry goodkind but hey love his book). D'hara are also Terrans (humans) who left Earth during the 20th Century; but no one knows how they got to the planet. To be able to progress, the inhabitants discovered Altarian technology on the planet they were mysteriously transported in. Thus, my ships are Altarian Design. Earth and D'hara technology grew almost at the same time, but it was Earth that shared the hyperdrive technology. Although technology is similar, Being seperated for so long from Earth, D'hara have developed new sense of culture and religion (thus the huge population growth traits)More tidbits:
Universalist Party; with population growth as its main advantage.
Map: Large (the map prior to the biggest one)
Not many habitable planets (which i deem more realistic)
All 9 races including custom race means 10 Major players in the Galaxy. Had to spraypaint with Paint program to show you the places of the Races at the beginning
Story takes place 286 Weeks after since the start of the game ( meaning 5 years has passed with hyperdrive technology shared by the humans). It will be pretty hard to tell the story backwards, but I hope to make it interesting.
The perspective will be taken from DIFFERENT Captains of vessels throughout the D'hara Empire
Now onwards to the story...
Journal Entry of D'hara Flagship Vessel (Survey Vessel for short, yes he survived with no upgrades!): Year 2230, December 15: The war has turned and Drengin Empire in ruins...
No one would ever have imagined how this war has turned. Our Allies, The Altarian Republic, Terran Alliance, Iconian Refuge, and recently new member, Acrean Empire all let out a sign of relief seeing the tragic long war ending soon. The enigmatic Thalan Empire stayed at the sidelines secretly funding several empires against the dreaded Drengin Empire.
The Drengin Empire is truly a race to be given respect. Thier military and technology were once unsurpassed conquering planet after planet, and Empires paying tribute to them. Those who placed up resistance were easily vanquished under thier Military Superiority. The once great Torian Confederation was the only empire at the beginning who truly spoke against the cruelty of the Drengin and fought against them. Perhaps because the Torians ,who were once slaves to the Drengin, refused to be subjugated again. The war between them was short and swift. The Drengin Empire outclassed thier more peaceful neighbor. It is a shame that this peaceful race who spanned the stars were just a relic of the past, with Drengin Empire finally conquering the Torian Homeworld just 3 years back.
Yet today, our D'hara Solders have just conquered and liberated the Toria System. My survey vessel has witnessed the D'hara Armada and billions of solders enter the planet Toria once were held by the Torians. Sadly, upon looking at the people of Toria, we easily see that Torians will never again be able to form thier own government. In just 3 years, the cultures prevalent are now relics of the past and the peoples will are scattered and broken. The Torian Confederation is truly gone. The Drengin Solders who occupied the planet were indeed superior in both tactical strength and technology. It is only thru our mass numbers and mini-solders were we able to liberate the planet. Our staticians say that our troops only had a rating of 75 against the Drengin who had 117.
The current situation looks grim indeed for the Drengin Empire. Our D'hara Solders have recently aquired several planets including thier homeworld. The remaining Drengin are desperately trying to form a counter-offensive against our D'hara armada. The Drengin are surrounded in all sides, With our D'hara Troops attacking from the North, Iconian and Altarian located in the west while the Arceans and Terran Alliance attack from the east.
My Survey Vessel Sensors indicate Terran Frigates and Altarian Cruisers attacking the remaining Drengin Worlds. It is only a matter of time before this long ardorous war is over.
Captain of D'hara Flagship Vessel log out.
notes: More stories coming soon with Dominion of Korx, Drath Empire, and Yor Collective disappearance. You can see in the map that D'hara did attack from the North. The Iconian Refuge and Thalan Empire is staying out of the war.
. Thats what you get for an amatur like me
