HISTORY - ESO DIPLOMATIC COURIERS

THE SECOND GALACTIC WAR (352 BC - 14 AD)

Seeking to restore the Velorum Empire's former colonies in the Beta Quadrant of the Orion Arm, Velorum Emperor Ta'Vel orders the invasion of the Beta Quadrant by the Velorum Alliance. On Earthdate 113, at 18:00 hours, Velorum and Imperial Vampire Forces crossed the border into Earth Space attacking Fleet Battle Station 65 on the Theseus line - a series of Orion Alliance Space Stations defending the Earth Space border. Beginning the Second Galactic War, a series of regional interstellar wars, between the Velorum Alliance and the Orion Alliance lasting 338 years. The Front-Line of the War would span across 3,000 light-years, with total casualties and loses of over 2 billion dead.

Date:

352 BC - 14 AD

Result:

Orion Alliance victory

After 338 years of war, the Velorum Empire was finally defeated by the Orion Empire in the Second Battle of Orion's Belt. Imperial Vampire Forces, are driven from Earth Space - all sectors within a 300 light-year radius of Earth. First Vampire Faction, are driven from Earth Space back to their homeworld Tartarus. The final battle of the Second Galactic War, the Battle of Tartarus (14 AD), ended with the destruction of all major cities on Tartarus and the deaths of over 50 million. Because of the great loss of life on both sides in the battle, Tartarus is known as "Ghost" and the region is known as "Ghost Space".

On Earthdate 321, at 01:00 hours, the Velorum Alliance and the Orion Alliance sign the EarthZone Accords the treaty ending the Second Galactic War. The Treaty, declared Earth as a protected planet - no interference the technological development of the planet. It created the EarthZone, a protected zone of space - 300 light-year radius surrounding Earth, to be reserved for future Human colonization. Ghost Space was declared restricted space - no colonization allowed, the planet Tartarus also known as Ghost to be a Forbidden Planet - no landing or contact permitted. To protect EarthZone, it created the Earth Security Organization (ESO) and Earth Space Command (ESC).

AFTERMATH OF SECOND GALACTIC WAR (14 - 20 AD)

EarthZone

Earth Moonbase: Lunar City and the Epsilon Eridani Station and Shipyards are place under the command of Earth Security Organization (ESO).

Under the terms of the EarthZone Accords: the Earth Security Organization (ESO) and Earth Space Command (ESC) assumes responsibility for the defense of Earth and EarthZone. The ESC begins conducting military operations and security patrols of the EarthZone and Ghost Space. All heavy weapons are removed from Earth; direct interstellar trade with Earth is banned; travel to Earth is restricted and requires a visa from the ESO;

The EarthZone and Ghost Space now serve as a defacto buffer zone separating the Dhampir and Atlantean Empires from the Imperial Vampire Empire and Velorum Empire. Earth Space Command (ESC) begins the expansion of the Theseus line - a series of former Orion Alliance Space Stations on the old Earth Space border, now under command of the ESO.

To deal with economic, espionage and military threats - from hostile space regions and governments, the ESC established Earth Special Operations Command (ESOC) and the ESO formed the Earth Intelligence Service (EIS).

Mutant Continuum

Dhampir Empire

Creation of ESC Black Sentinel Force 3

With the Dhampir Empire now officially members of the ESO/EarthZone, the ESC now establishes its main Battle Fleet:

ESC Black Sentinel Force 3, is the main battle force of Earth Space Command's defense forces defending Earth and EarthZone. Its central core is six Black Sentinel Battlegroups from Orion Alliance members - the Atlantean Empire and Dhampir Empire, assigned to the ESC Fleet Battlestation-31 (Epsilon Eridani).

Earth

Meanwhile, on Earth, under the terms of the EarthZone Accords: Vampires, Mutants, and Aliens who remained on Earth and in EarthZone, were now subject to new criminal laws known as the Earth Sanctions. The EarthZone Security Bureau (ESB), an Interstellar Police Force was established by the ESO to enforce these laws. Violations of the Earth Sanctions is punishable by deportation, imprisonment, or death sanction.

Vampires living on Earth are allowed to keep their underground and undersea megacities. Vampires, Werewolves, Mutants, and Aliens living on Earth are allowed to conduct trade and commerce on Earth within the limits human laws established by kingdom and empires on Earth. Sharing of advanced weapons and technology is prohibited and punishable by death sanction.

Mutant Continuum (Earth)

Under the terms of the EarthZone accords, Mutant Continuum is recognized as as an autonomous Dominion within EarthZone and legal representative of all Mutants living inside of EarthZone. the former Tori sector Antoria - located in the constellation Reticulum - was ceded to the Mutant Continuum as their dominion inside EarthZone.

The Mutant Continuum named Lexia Tel - granddaughter of Mutant resistance leader Maxis Tel - a human mutant teleporter, as the Governor-General of the Mutant Continuum on Earth.

The Torians (EarthZone)

Under the terms of the EarthZone accords, the liberated Torians Sectors known as the Torian Enclave become the first race to recognized inside EarthZone. The Torian - are Human slave race who were genetically engineered by the Imperial Vampire Empire in 3000 BC, to work in deep space mining and space construction. The Torian Enclave consist of the Tori Sectors: Antoria, Entoria, Heltoria, Hytoria, and Zartoria - the former Tori sector Antoria was ceded to the Mutant Continuum.

The Torian Enclave named Kyros Torias as the first Anax of the Toria.

REGIONAL POWERS

Ghost Space

First Vampire Faction forces who survived the Battle of Tartarus, their homeworld now destroyed, they refused to sign the EarthZone Accords. Instead they chose exile, leaving Ghost Space and the Inner Orion Arm. The Exiles, established a new homeworld on Exilius, in the Orion-Sagittarius Expanse (14 AD - present). First Ones Overlord Arnaud Devereux and Lady Latona go into exile their son, Lord Julius Devereux sent back to Earth to oversee First Vampire Faction operations in Gaul (France).

Imperial Vampire Empire

The Imperial Vampire Empire named Zora, daughter of General Zor, as the new Regent of Imperial Vampires living on Earth.

Mutant Dominion

Under the terms of the EarthZone accords, Mutant Dominion is recognized as as an autonomous Velorum Colony with its Territories Sectors located in the constellation Reticulum - 320 light-years from Earth, on the Souther border of EarthZone.

In 25 AD, the Mutant Dominion would become the first Velorum Colonial Dominion to establish full diplomatic relations with the Earth Security Organization (ESO).

Centauran Dominion

Under the terms of the EarthZone accords, Atlantean and Dhampir Forces withdraw from star systems and bases captured inside the Centauran Run.

Lykaion Dominion

Under the terms of the EarthZone accords, Atlantean and Dhampir Forces withdraw from star systems and bases captured inside the Lykaion Dominion's Arcadian Territories Sectors. To defend the Arcadian Territories Sectors against future attack, the Lykaions created genetically enhanced Human slaves armies, the Lysuran, who are trained and commanded the Lycosai - the elite Lykaion special forces. The decision by Lord Lykaius to create the Lysuran would come back to haunt him later during the Lykaion Civil War (1750 - 1776 AD) and Lykaion Human Slave Revolt (1780 -1900 AD).

The Lykaion Dominion named Werewolf Lord Marshal Arnulf Lycos III, Governor-General of Earth Werewolf Confederation.

Scorpion Dominion

Under the terms of the EarthZone accords, Atlantean and Dhampir Forces withdraw from star systems and bases captured inside the Centauran Run.

Sagittar Dominion

Under the terms of the EarthZone accords, Atlantean and Dhampir Forces withdraw from star systems and bases captured inside the Sagittarius Corridor.

ESO Diplomatic Service

In the hope of maintaining peaceful relations in the region in 14 AD, the ESO established the ESO Diplomatic Service - recruiting its core staff from diplomatic corps of the Atlanteans Empire, Dhampir Empire and Mutant Continuum.
