Official History from the nostropholo planet States.

The Nostropholo Planet States (NSP) began the great voyage into the bounce located in the middle of the map.

NSP Expanded in every direction.

The first contact was with the species called Andurian Imperium. A species who strove to remain alone. And to work out common boarders.

This of course was a lie. The Andurians strove to block the NSP from movement to the south. As they shared a common North West boarder. This Area of Space was left to the Andurians. Systems controlled by the NSP were colonized by the Andurians under the false pretence that the NSP were aggressivley blocking them in ( IT was unknown to us at that time the Andurians had exit points that were not on our boarders.) In return the NSP began mining the boarders between the Andurians and the NSP. And the NSP quickly expanded west to determine if the Andurians were indeed blocked out. The relationship feel apart as boarder wars erupted between the two empires.

Then when a formal war was about to be declared the NSP met the Tusken Overlord Government. A race who were open to trade and research. They were located below the Andurians and formed the South West boarder. The Tusken and NSP quickly became friendly trading partners.

They were informed of the Andurians and how they acted and the Tuskens showed the NSP the other exit points the Andurians controlled. One even spanned across the galaxy to the far Eastern side.

The NSP also expanded East and South.

On its North Eastern expansion it met the Gravey Clan. Trade was quickly established. Boarders were defined and a few miscommunications on colonization were worked out quickly before a conflict could begin. The Gravey were a quiet race who kept the peace with NSP.

In the East The NSP met with the Suezians. As trade was established it was noted that the Suezians and the Tusken were powerful trading partners. The Suezians were peaceful and trading was established as well as secure boarders.

To the South the NSP met the Gorzaak Horde. Tensions were present from the initial meeting. The NSP were not prepared to fight a two front war with the Andurians and the Gorzaak. But boarders were ignored by the Gorzaak and by the NSP. Tensions mounted. NSP seeked help from Suezians and Tusken that they would not interfer in a conflict between the Gorzaak and the NSP. Forces were built to deal with this new threat.

Lucky for the NSP its greatest weapon was X-17658B. This ambassador created the NSP-Gorzaak Peace Accords. Then NSP would give up a system and the Gorzaak would give up a system. Between them would be a shared system to promote peace between these systems. All mines would be destroyed. And the opposing fleets would be ordered to stand down and retreat. It was agreed upon and a new peace formed in the south. Treaties were established.

Now the only problem was the Andurian issue to the north. The NSP could now double its fleet size in the North West now and begin to reclaim their systems. The force was sent north. THE NSP Navy felt that the Gorzaak would betray the trust but X-17658B overruled the Navy and the war plans were drawn out for attacking the Andurians.

Then the Tusken struck. The Andurians were not prepaired for this attack as they were positioned to counter our attacks. The NSP needed to move quickly to gain back its lands.

Then the unthinkable happened. Revolution. Andurians replaced their government. It was a bloody battle. Funded by NSP intelligence the revolution took years but it occured.

Now the NSP had a choice. Destroy the Andurians with the Tusken or Regain what was lost and ask for peace.

To choose destruction was the easy path. But was it the correct one. X-17658B rose to the challenge. Regain what was lost. Take a little more and seek peace. And seek peace between Tusken and Andurian. The Tusken were large and Tusken boardering the North to the South was not seen as a good situation for the NSP. To keep a weak Andurian in the north was seen as a good counter to Tusken activites in the north.

The NSP quickly regained their lost planets and secured a front to take on the Andurians who were losing system after system to the Tusken.

Peace talks began. The Tusken would stand down and the Andurian would agree to peace with NSP and offer the Tusken its lands that were conquered and would not seek to strike back. The 3rd agreement was that who ever broke the peace would be at war with the NSP as well.

But the Tusken warlords were strong. And the Andurian pride could not be broken. The NSP showed Andurian its choices. Peace and survival or assimilation. The Andurian realised this and seeked peace. A military alliance was quickly formed.

The Tusken war lords were over ruled by civil service. A first in its history. This would eventually lead to revolution in the Tusken universe.

Unknown to us the Overlord sent his fleets on a suicide mission against the Gravey. They Overlord was over thrown and a new govn't was formed.

Would they honor the peace in the north. No. But the overlord has destroyed completely the relationship between the Gravey and the Tusken.

The NSP were now surrounded by two new powers. Times were tense. But the NSP seeked peace. As it is what one must do when completely surrounded.

Many months passed but peace was achieved in the east. Tusken and NSP almost went to war 2 times. The broken military alliance was reformed. And the Andurians were kept weak and the NSP kept watch.

Peace was achieved. The NSP expanded to over 500 planets and its focus became economy.

But out in the east the emperor of the Suezians
grew mad.

First they Banned religion within their own boarders then they decided to move the universe to destroy all religous types.

Suezians who were our strongest trading partner. started this right when the Tusken fleet would strike the Gravey.

The Tusken fleet that began its journey as a modern fleet but by the time it arrived. It was obsolete. The Gravey and the Suezians were now not on friendly terms. The Suezians also moved to destroy all empires relations with the Gorzaak. All of the NSP's work was being undone.

Then the Tusken fleet struck. And was destroyed. The Suezians stated that the religous types would band together and take over the universe.

So for this to become true the mad king forced the Gorzaak and Gravey to become partners. Now there was a common partnered empire on our east. With war to be waged in the middle. THE NSP would not come out of this one unscaved.

THey would have to choose sides.

Follow the mad king and tusken or help the Religous types. If the Gorzaak were the strong one then the choice would have been easy. But it was the Gravey who were powerful. They began to attack the Tusken and Suezians.

Suezians who called for war but did not prepair for war. Madness. Their people rebelled and its fleets were destroyed. Tusken whos people rebelled and fleets were destroyed. OTher empires feel as well but their path is not recorded by NSP.
The NSP released that the balance of power was shifting to the Gravey solely. They attacked and won every battle. But the NSP were not prepared. They could not fight the Gravey. They would loose. But perhaps sacrifice would give the waring empires time to restore the balance. Then peace could be achieved. Then the NSP would attempt to remove the madness in the east.

The Gorzaak were sent the coded message that we must help the tusken and Suezians. We could no longer trade with them and would declare war on them and the gravey. But when the time was right peace again. We also informed the Gorzaak that we would only attack down the spine in the middle. The Gorzaak responded that they understood.

Our forces were sent to be slaughterd by the Gravey so we could by time for the Suezians. Little did we know that the Suezians did not believe in troops on their planets. The time offered was wasted by the mad governement.

The Gravey would now have free reign to attack our systems as would Gorzaak.

We knew it was over. And that after the Suezians and tusken were destroyed the NSP would be next. 536 Planet strong. It could survive.

But only under the banner of the Gravey and Gorzaak. Survival was worth more than pride and the ramblings of a mad king and a dead overlord.

The message was sent to the Gravey and the Gorzaak. As well as to the Andurians, Tusken and Suezians.

THE NSP would survive. As a member of the Gravey and Gorzaak Alliance but it would survive.
