Suezian history found on the occupied planets of the formerly glorious Suezian empire:

The Suezians quickly expanded across a large territory, many races where met and as was the Suezian way peaceful treaties where established with all neighbours.

The Gorzak horde in the southeast was a troublesome neighbour.
They repeatedly offended our diplomats, sent lengthy insults to our leaders.
It was decided that a strong fleet was needed and the construction of such was started.

The main goal of the Suezians was still peaceful development, and all 200+ planets where outfitted with atmospheric transformators for the glory of the empire.
In the south peace was established with the thrustworthy Graveys, or so we thought.
After seeing numerous intrusions by the Gorzaks even after our complaints to the Gorzak goverment we informed our neighbours that we where going to explore our surrounding regions and asked if there where any dissent to this, no objections was raised from our neighbours.

After the bold explorers where sent away and well into foreign territory the Gorzaaks and the Graveys started complaining and demanded that the ships be removed from their territory within a month, even though it had taken them several years to reach these positions, it was impossible.

Worried by the threat of a Religious fanatical takeover of the universe the Suezains attempted to unite all non religious races in the universe, and succeded.
But there was a problem, the Andurians and the Tuskens could not negotiate peace after the Tusken revolution.
The Suezians pleaded with the Tuskens and showed them the future if they did not concentrate their forces with the others, but they refused.
So when the Tuskens refused to end the war with the Andurians the Suezians called of the common attack by the allied 6 nations that had even had a set date, now long before the outbreak of any war, the Suezians knew they where doomed.

The Graveys in a mad frenzy destroyed the Suezian explorer in their territory and the coexistence in the Pi'Fullic system that was shared between the Graveys and the Suezians for a long time became strained.
Still the Suezians would not start a war on their own, they knew that against the dreaded Talisman they where doomed. A new treaty was negotiated.

The Nostropholeans devised a cunning plan to divide the Graveys and the Gorzaaks by sending misinformation to the both empires regarding the Suezians strength and purposes, the Suezians didn't understand this plan but accepted the Nostropholeans as friends, and trusted them.
The Nostropholean plan backfired and the Graveys and the Gorzaks united, both close neighbours of the Sueazians.

When the attack came it was expected, but nevertheless unstoppable.
Hundreds of enemy dreadnoughts and baseships equipped with talismans wiped out the equally numbered or superiorly numbered Suezian fleets without much own causalties.
The planets in the Sueazian empire revolted, many planets where burned and made into ash.

Still within all this carnage, planet after planet was terraformed to oxygenic atmosphere, a monument of Suezian achivement that was to become one of the few remaining signs of the empires existance, apart from the in then end enslaved Suezian population.

A single Suezian fleet with 60 warships escaped and entered Gravey territory. There they wreaked much havoc in an attempt to draw of Gravey fire from teh Suezian homeplanets. The mutual destruction was grotesque.
In the end the Gravey turned their attention to the other races in the galaxy and the victories of the Suezian fleet in the soft belly of the Gravey hometerritory caused the Suezian planets to stop their rioting, but then it was appearent to all that future resistance was futile.

Princess Ruatha was found dead in the Throne room, the circumstances surrounding her death where uncertain. The Sueazians surrended.

All races in the universe accepted defeat to the Graveys and the Gorzaak, the religious conVersion was prefarrably to certain genocide!


In all their history the Suezians always attempted to negotiate peace, they never started a war, but war was brought to them nevertheless. The universe is a harsh place for those seaking peace.
