Chapter One: A Simple Time
Terra, a planet much like our own but located in an area far from us. The Artitary belt which is located millions of light-years from the galactic core and one of the arms of the Milky Way Galaxy. Terra is just one of 9 planets orbiting a binary star which gives Terra itself a long oval path around the stars while Ares orbits the binary stars in a much closer orbit.
Eighty percent land mass and twenty percent ocean, Terra is vast and dotted with seas and inland lakes which has created a diverse culture. Originally life never got as complex, intelligent life, Terra was discovered by a people called Pi'Nicians who left their dying world for another which they could survive on. Traveling for hundreds of years, these dying people settled in Terra's Northern hemisphere. They're crash site provided protection against the vicious unknown animals and in time they became Terrans.
The first city built, Tigerus, followed designs of their ship but also added a wall which the militia could man at night to fight back the large beast that fed on them. The weapons they carried were too few and they had no way to reverse engineer that technology so they proceeded to move as close as they could. They had discovered steel as well as large outcrops of titanium and copper but their scientists couldn't replicate the energy or harnessing it in their weapons. For this, most of their weapons were placed into cold storage while the militia developed simple black powder rifles which worked effectively against the beasts. As Tigerus grew so did the government which was rather simple republic yet soon began giving only select individuals power.
Divisions grew and soon corruption followed. Those with power wanted more power, militias became armies and within a hundred years; the city of Tigerus fell.
For two hundred years, the old city of Tigerus and the new city of Britannia fought over land; millions of acres of land for the precious resources of gold, silver, platinum and lead. Both cities had defenses that the other couldn't break through but Tigerus was working on a project the other hadn't thought of.
While testing a way of amplifying their own explosives, Tigerus created a useless explosive called C-4. When exposed to an electrical charge, this useless explosive would explode with great force thus made it easier for their operatives to sneak into Britannia.
In a short time, Britannia fell and Tigerus grew once more, giving rise to science as well as reorganizing the military which till now was militia based.
While Tigerus grew, a group of militiamen from Britannia left civilization behind and headed into the mountains of the Undiscovered Territories. Before the fall, Britannia was experimenting with a new type of soldier, one that has no links to anything and able to do the task of one hundred men though this concept was never put into action. These militiamen, armed with mining machines, began to bury themselves into the mountain and began changing everything about them. They became the Special Forces Division, a group of men and women that aren't tied down by a city but united in one objective which is peace. The Special Forces began to create super fortresses into the mountains then one day even they were put to the test.
A culture and a people from far away, crash landed on Terra while running from the wars of their old home. The Gondawans, what they called themselves began to expand into the Undiscovered Territories and upon doing so began to threaten Tigerus. Out of desperation, Tigerus hired the newly formed Special Forces Division to put down the Gondawans and restore peace. The Gondawans were superior in every way and arrogant, using tactics and the enemies arrogate attitude, a small team snuck onto one of the Gondawan warships and brought it to the ground using C-4 explosives. The war lasted four months. By the end, the Gondawans were forced to sign a treaty to end aggression for two thousand years; the Special Forces became the guardians of their technology.
When the war ended, Tigerus split up into various city-states which some opposed the decision made concerning the Special Forces. The cities of Sparta, Alpheus, Darious, Athos, and nation of Frondal began to form.
