This Edition will soon be obsolete, A much larger and more detailed factbook is under contstruction.
The following information is all that remains of the Tarsonian archives salvaged on Korhal, after the Cataclysm.
It is estimated that in the year 2115, the governments of Earth, burdened by over crowding, haistily assembled a fleet of starships. On these ships they forced the worlds Criminals, daralict, and other undesirables, and sent them into space with no destination. however among those sihps, was one the Tarsonis. Its crew? a group of 127 Soldiers part of a Special Forces black ops group called Ghost. Their job was to asssinate a general, head of a militant dictatorship. However the plot failed and they were compromised. Running under the radar their nation disowned them denying any such group existed. To escape, they stole the Military Grade Cruiser, and dissappeared into the fleet.
Over the next 100 years the fleet encountered many hazards, from simple malfunctions from shoddy construction to space marauders eager to make a score. The Ghosts tried to defend the fleet, rescuing a few civilians and waisting ammo fending off pirates, but in the end, they were all that remained. Some ships had gone astray, half the fleet had been taken out by a solar flair, and the rest had been destroyed by "other reasons.' the Tarsonis, now piloted by the children of the Ghosts, soldiered on to things unkown.
Around 2220 the ship finally met its end, being struck by rouge astroids the ships crashed upon the Inhospitapal world that would eventually be their home. A planet of desert and rugged blasted landscape, the survivors named their planet Korhal, meanig World of the Damned. However, the planet could provide them food and sustenence, after some creative practices. Over the next few hundred years other ships had found Korhal, drawn by the distress beacon of the Tarsonis. Some were ships that had gone astray, others, Humans who had lived on other worlds that were not suiting. Eventually the world became a thriving civilization, its face changed as technology development allowed for progress of the planets ecosystems.
The first group had named their faction the Sons of Tarsonis. However as the planet progressed other factions to rise up to become nations and the world was much like Earth, a group of large nations. However at the culmination of a 150 year long conspiracy, the Sons of Tarsonis, now a secret society much like the Knights Templar, resurfaced and united the world under a single flag, and under their rule. Their Kingdom was named Tarsonis after the Ship, and the Flag was only known as the Crimson Pheonix and that became their national bird, even though it had Mythical Origins.
Now in the years that followed the Tarsonians once again took to the stars. Amassing fleets of warships the leaders of the Tarsonis constructed a crucade conquering nearby inhabitated worlds. Most were humans other ancesters of the great fleet, and some gladly joined the Ranks of Tarsonis, their compliance getting them favor in the Royal Parliament and getting them fair representation. The others who resisted, were conquered and enslaved. This became the normal policy of Tarsonis as its leaders became power hungry and craved wealth. But as the borders reached its limits that policy would soon change.
In the Tarsonian year of 1584 a distant Space fairing empire attacked Tarsonis unexpectedly and Seized control of Korhal before the massive fleets could return to counter the attack. However unfortunately for the Alanorians another nation had seen the Tarsonians plight and agreed to help. The federation of Amazonia answered the distress calls of a lowlly LT at the time. HIs name was Kevin Kast. He was piloting a ship that escaped the invasion and had gone searching for help. With the Tarsonian Resistance on the Planet of Korhal, and the Amazonian fleets, when the Tarsonian Fleets finally made it back home, the Alanorians were quickly defeated and pushed back. However, not before the ruling family had been publically executed.
Parliament regained power, but a knew King was needed. A man named Alh hadded Coronus arised to power, and with him the face of Tarsonis changed. Subjugated planets were freed from bondage and rebuilt their populations givin representation in government. And after a rebuilding time of 10 years the Tarsonis was back on its feet. Its image in the Galactic Community Changed becoming one of Freedom and Rhiteousnes instead of greed and power.
5 years later, the federation of Amazonia was overthrown and the Dominion of Amazonia was born. Tarsonis had fought in the war on the Federations side but was still defeated. However, a some what mutual protection plan was drawn up, as relations with the corrupt dictatorship appproved after some incidents involving rebel third parties increased diplomacy. And after forging an alliance with the nation of Spit Break Tarsonis prospered in what has been called the Golden Years. Before teh Cataclysm.
End of historical Records.
