Trianar, or the Holy Imperium of Trianar, is a star nation located near the bottom left of Sector A1-0, bordering the Treecuu Star Empire and the Stoinian Star Kingdom. Its government is ruled by the Imperium And the Imperö. All members of government are always ethnic Ikaranareans, founded on the belief that if they fall out of power, the entire nation will fall as well.

History

Ikaranarean Colonies

Founding of the Ikaranarean Colonies

The Ikaranarean Colonies of Ikarn, Narûs and Ranaras were established around the star of Centrus around 1500 BBT. There are numerous theories about where the Colonies came from, although none have been proven true. However, it is unlikely that these colonies were formed by any centralized state, as there are no records of the colonies mentioning any state with power above them or of coming from any state. Very little is known about the colonies except that they rapidly expanded around the area from which they were founded, due to bad record keeping. Closer to the formation of the Star Empire, events are more well documented.

The Origin War (1105-1103 BBT)

The Origin War is one of the most well documented events occurring within the time frame of the Ikaranarean Colonies, starting 1105 BBT. The war initially started because of skirmishes on border planets by emerging Sycriûn nations (that would go on to form Kruxkil). Ikaranarean troops were devastated on the ground by the Sycriûns' greater physical strength. The colonies were pushed back on all major fronts until 1102 BBT.

Battle of Kûl-Vagrö

The Battle of Kûl-Vagrö was the first victorious land battle for the Ikaranareans. They applied a combined arms approach with armored vehicles that mowed down the infantry-heavy Sycriûn, and for the first time, Sycriûn bodies caked the ground with negligible Ikaranarean casualties. This is thought to be the start of Ikaranarean military policy of "Machines fear no living being" that calls for mechanized and combined arms warfare to close the gap between species whom are physically stronger.

First battle for the Stars Above

The First Battle for the Stars Above was a Ship-to-ship battle that saw complete Ikaranarean supremacy. Sycriûn ship tactics typically focused on overwhelming the enemy by sheer size, but Ikaranarean Battleships with missile systems were able to tear hundreds of smaller, less equipped Sycriûn ships to shreds while sustaining only minor damage. This crippled the Sycriûn fleet and their chances of getting on the ground for more planetary invasion, essentially granting the Colonies naval superiority.

Second Battle for the Stars Above

the Second Battle for the Stars Above saw Ikaranareans attacking the rest of the Sycriûn fleet at its planetary port, destroying the unprepared ships and eventually invading and conquering the planet via the marines. This led to the Sycriûn forces capitulating and suing for white peace, which the Ikaranareans accepted, being also devastated by the war.

After the War

The Colonies lost around 1 billion Ikaranareans during the war. At a population of only around 13 billion at the time, this was devastating. It's estimated that the Sycriûn lost around 4 billion in numbers, but they were estimated to contain a population of nearly 38 billion at the time. Due to this devastating loss, the Colonies sought to rapidly militarize.

Post-war efforts

The Ikaranareans saw that the region was dangerous and developed new technologies in order to defend themselves and ensure safe expansion. To this end they developed 2 main technologies that would end up being a mainstay in the future militaries; Flagships and Swarmers. Flagships are massive ships significantly larger than even battleships, that are armed to the teeth and sometimes carry smaller ships with them. They were command hubs and extremely hard to even damage that provided the Ikaranarean Space Force the ability to combat Sycriûn raiding parties and eventually more advanced Kanareö attacks. Eventually, the Ikaranareans started making superweapons to mount on them. The first Swarmers were simple missile carrying USVs (Unmanned Spacefaring Vehicles) that carried guided missiles and could be produced en masse to disrupt the enemy. They allowed the Ikaranareans to commit less troops to any one fleet since Swarmers were so easy to produce and came at little cost, allowing for easier expansion and defense of territories.

War of Untrue Borders (1000-998 BBT)

As the Ikaranarian colonists expanded, they grew closer to the Sycriûn homelands and raids increased. Although most were stopped thanks to Ikaranarean technological superiority, they became increasingly aggressive and Ikaranarean intelligence received word that The Kruxkil Empire had copied Ikaranarean designs and built a Flagship of their own. Furthermore, notable planets that Ikaranareans wanted for future colonies resided within Kruxkil claimed territory. The Ikaranarean Colonies realized that peace was becoming unfruitful and declared war. In a fleet-to-fleet battle with the Sycriûn Flagship, the Ikaranareans lost due to poor planning and were forced to send one of their own flagships in to defeat Kruxkil's. This showed the Ikaranareans that technological superiority was not going to win wars on its own. Eventually, however, in the 2nd battle of Kûl-Vagro, the Ikaranareans came out on top and in 998 BBT, they annexed the entirety of Kruxkil. The leadership of the Colonies proclaimed that "On the basis that we have overcame a civilization which considers itself an Empire, we, the Ikaranarean Colonists, declare the Ikaranarean Star Empire."

Ikaranarean Star Empire

The Ikaranarean Star Empire was an extremely powerful state in the region and commanded immense respect from the remaining nations for annexing another species, something never done before in the area. Despite its classification as an empire, it was actually a democratic state, with elected emperors holding lifetimes in office unless stepping down or impeached by the Grand Council. The Emperor did not make laws and was mainly concerned with ruling the country via executive powers and defending the country's interests; militarily or not. the Ikaranarean Star Empire was not as militaristic as other states in the area and did not pursue a policy of genociding defeated foes. The first order of the Empire was to integrate the Sycriûn within the new Kruxkil province.

Mannaö-Ikaranarean Relations

After the annexation of Kruxkil, the Ikaranareans bordered both the Mannao and Xanstal empires. The Mannaö were antagonistic to the Ikaranareans due to them having Sycriûn within their borders. The Sycriûn were not massecred and generally were relatively equal to Ikaranareans, although they were not the ruling class. This led the powerful Mannaö to antagonize the Ikaranareans, Isolating them as the Xanstals still not did help the Ikaranareans due to them being majority Ikaranarean. This left the Ikaranareans in a disadvantageous position where two much more powerful established states were both looking at them for partition.
