Brobar

Brobar is the second and only currently habitable planet in the Brobarna system. It is composed by forty seven individual states on three continents and twenty four islands, with the only intelligent population being colonial Humans

History
Brobar was colonised by Sir Rodger Michelle in 177 aboard the ship Lawrence II during an exploration mission. Originally settled on the most northern point of the Conor Peninsula. The planet was named after the first born son of Sir. Rodger.

Republic of Earth Era
Sir Rodger settled the new planet in the name of the Republic of Earth, and unlike it's sister planets in the region, it did not experience any internal conflict with the Republic which allowed the human race to prosper significantly, reaching it's peak of an estimated population of 16.5 billion by 210 AE.

Various resources contributed to the growth, including the abundant native Hornbrow species, which easily prospered in captivity. The also abundant Dimanom resources unique to Brobar made trade with other colonies more accessible than on other planets.

The Black Years
For the official article, see The Brobarian International War The Black Years, Brobarnian Darkness or, officially the International Wartime Era are all names given to a period of time spanning 190 years of internal conflict which saw the emigration or deaths of all but twenty million people (99.7% of the population total population killed).

After the fall of the Republic of Earth on the planet in 210 AE, a short spanned global government was announced, but after three months collapsed due to improper management of vital resources. The Territories of Sortya, Corloya and Julayo (modern day Repor & Losontor) announced the Nation of Brobar on the 35th of March 210 AE, Declaring itself the only legitimate government on the planet and started trading with Earth. In response, the Southern Regions (Present day Irantic, Irantino, Srantor and Sortia) declared the Peoples Soviet of Brobar three days later, and started trading with other independent planets, four other states were formed over the coming years, including Islanding, Corander, Dermunt and Donpar. These nations took individual sides of pro-earth or pro-independent in choice with trade partners which resulted in a cultural split, and after only a year the first conflict broke out during the Invasion of Sheye.

After the Invasion of Sheye by the Nation of Brobar on the Corander State, the Peoples Soviet of Brobar along with Islanding invaded the coast of Repor in the Nation of Brobar during the Invasion of Light, named due to the almost constant brightness given off by space engines, explosions and Spotlights over the course of two years which resulted in the occupation of much of the Nation of Brobar, until an alliance was formed with the Galactic Monarch in 215 AE, and the formation of Serico and Namba in 214 AE, the Nation of Brobar regained its footing.

Derumunt-Donpar War
Dermunt and Donpar announced their formation into the Frense Republic in 212 AE and remained at peace as the union for eighteen years between 212 and 230 AE, the Frense Republic was nicknamed the Refugee Republic in late 214 for its massive number of first generation refugees, at one point reaching 87% of the total population.

Major Protests and Riots lead to the Refugee Settlement Act 217 which outlined separate districts for immigrants from opposing sides of the conflict. The act was found to be unsuccessful and lead to more severe rioting from civil right groups eventually leading to widespread terrorism and political instability. The union split in 230 AE, and declared war on each other two days later.

After total war broke out after only four years of planetary independence, three billion refugees fled the planet between 230 and 233 AE, overwhelming the Galactic Monarch's capabilities to handle asylum seekers within it's local territories and forcing them to severely restrict routes of immigration from the planet, causing undesired tensions between the Galactic Monarch and the other nations of Brobar. The Rescue Ship Navaria Incident, where an unarmed Galactic Monarch asylum ship leaving Donpar-held territory was attacked by Rockets originating from Dermunt resulting in the deaths of 12,000 asylum seekers, 763 Crew and twelve reporters. The incident cut interstellar ties with the planet and resulted in a embargo being carried out on the whole Brobarna System by the Earth Republic and Galactic Monarch.

The Donpar-Dermunt war escalated between 234 and 238 AE when food became scarce in Dermunt due to their reliance on the Nation of Brobar, which had gone into self-sufficient mode due to the lack of imports from the Galactic Monarch. Dermunt military authorities decided to stage an attack on Namba, which at this point had resisted the effects of the war due to it's relatively large size and small population, the attack occured in 236, Namba had not been made aware of the attack beforehand, and as such most of their nation was taken within a month, though this did not help the food scarcity for longer than a year. Once all reserves had run out in 237 AE Dermunt, Namba, Serico, Corander and the Nation of Brobar was plunged into a great starvation. An estimated 930 million people perished due to the lack of food supply or civilian conflicts surrounding food, a further 230 thousand people were executed in the states for the offence of stealing food. By 239 AE the government had tired all options, and declared defeat against Donpar.

The success of Donpar in the war did not save it from it's consequences, whilst food was more abundant due to it's vast arable lands, between 230 and 239 AE an estimated 1.1 billion people had sought refuge in other systems, severely limiting the economic recovery after such a major conflict. In total from both sides of the conflict the Donpar-Dermunt War is estimated to have killed 988 million combatants, 1.8 billion civilians, Injured a further 2.5 billion combatants, 4.8 billion citizens and caused the exodus of an estimated 6 billion people, in total reducing the once overpopulated planet of 16.5 billion people to a tiny number of 257 millon.

Islanding-Universal Wars
After the war, all the starvation laiden areas of the planet were amalgamated into the nation of Donpar, the embargo was lifted and recovery efforts began.

A period of relative peace existed between 239 and 260 AE, with people still rebuilding and trying to reestablish a once prosperous planet, this period of recovery was reversed however when the Peoples Soviet of Brobar, unwilling to see the once destroyed nation aided fully by the Galactic Monarch. (which was seen as a cover for territorial occupancy and resource plunder on an already deprived nation at the time by the soviet) invaded the still recovering nation of Brobar, occupying vast amounts of land at the cost of an estimated further 350,000 lives, the Galactic Monarch, who was unwilling to see the star system forced into warfare again, sent armed soldiers from neighboring systems to prevent to soviet occupation, this was however unsuccessful, and only resulted in further partisanship and anger over opposing political sides. In 265 AE 5 troops from the Galactic Monarchy became trapped in a building whilst pro-soviet protesters were parading, and were set upon by the protesters using rocks to breach a window into the premises, the troops retaliated by opening fire on the crowd excessively, shooting hundreds of people before becoming overwhelmed by soviet troops overhearing the gunfire from a nearby training run and ambushing the soldiers, shooting one dead. A court hearing was held within soviet territory and found that the troops of the Galactic Monarchy were "ruthless in their actions and genocidal in their intent" The monarch denied all claims, although the troops were disarmed, imprisoned and later executed.

This action was enough reason for the Galactic Monarch to fully intervene, sending 1.2 million troops to the planet to occupy and claim the territory as a state in 266. This was later revealed to be the final attempt at a ''"peaceful solution aided by the monarch". ''The People's Soviet of Brobar was overwhelmed and fell in early 267, The then still recovering Donpar rejected a proposal to become a territory of the Galactic Monarch preferring independence, this was not seen as a likely or realistic event by the monarch and so in breach of aid agreements the monarch occupied Donpar and the recovering states in 269 AE, leaving only the state of Islanding independent. Predicting the occupation, the government of Islanding hastened development major weaponry to counter the force, this was found successful when in 270 the force invaded and was successfully repealed by Islanding. this led to an uncomfortable stagnate, the Galactic Monarch was unable to set up a government on the planet due to it's lack of infrastructure and was forced to maintain the occupied territories from a ship based within the system, which added to the fearful perception amongst the residents of a '''foreign imperial force taking over'. ''The Islanding government was allowing immigration, although the occupied territories were forbidding emigration over fears of partisanship. From 270 to 272 minor skirmishes occurred between ships entering each others airspace, but no major conflict occurred.

Islanding-Universal Insurgency and Universal Monarch abandonment
in 273 a new leader of islanding was elected, Chancellor Fina Hurtcrowna, who announced an "end" to the stalemate, by encouraging residents in occupied zones to take up guerrilla warfare, soldiers of islanding were trained and smuggled into occupied territories and those soldiers became commanders in sects of guerrilla armies, these armies committed acts of assassination, terrorism, espionage and sabotage on behalf of Islanding and in ' The Name of Freedom'. This guerrilla conflict occurred for a period between 273 to 350 AE, when the Galactic Monarch announced the end of the occupation due to it's inability to resolve, and blacklisted the system from future relations or contact, although corporations of the Galactic Monarch were still permitted to trade with the planet, so not to cause another mass suffering event.

The Galactic Monarch set up eight of independent states before abandoning the nation, all named Brobar State One, Brobar State Two...etc... The Galactic Monarch troops had dumped large amounts of weapons onto these new nations in their hasty abandonment of the planet, and with no mutual enemy, forgotten conflicts re-woke in the nation, still destroyed and unrecoverable from the war 116 years ago, now with a population of only 300 million, state one, four, five, and seven declared war on state two, three, six and eight in 355, and civil war erupted within Islanding in 356. This war has been retrospectively termed ''The Nogood War. ''It has been suggested that the Nogood wars were nothing more than a continuation of a broken society that knew nothing but conflict and had no alternatives in the almost completely destroyed landscape. It is assumed 250 million perished in the period of time between 355 and 395, although total numbers are unknown, as warfare was a matter of life rather then a matter of winning or loosing, and lives were seen as valueless compared to comodities, and all nations descended into anarchy.

Royerslat Era
in 395 a major militia group named Royerslat Brigade gained significant numbers in the 'western' areas of the planet due to their strong relationship with smugglers from nearby systems, in exchange for allowing smugglers to use their planet to hide goods, the Royerslat would be given high quality stolen foods, which they then handed out to the people (unknowingly). The Royerslat grew in size to around 2.9 million people, significantly aiding the recovery of the nation was their mass employment of workers to rebuild after centuries without functional government or repairs, and to unite the mainland people.

In 398 The Royerslat declared it had discovered a document specifying that the Vergos, the major agrarian ethnic group belonging to the former lower Donpar territories (Now Vergo & Petros) as the cause of the improper management of resources that caused the original collapse of the Republic of Earth 188 years ago, and partook in a regime of ethnic removal between 398 and 400, removing an estimated 40 million people from their lands and forcing them onto remote islands with little food or contact, It was impossible to hide the alleged genocide as it entailed removing all but 10 million people from the mainlands on the planet, and as people started to recognize the actions of the Royerslat the still vast anarchist peoples living both within and outside Royerslat territory attacked the militia, resulting in 3.5 million deaths between mid 398 and early 400. After the end of the Royerslat, 3.7 million people were found alive on those remote islands, Leaving the total population of the planet entirely decimated at 10.2 million people.

Post Royerslats and end of the Black Years
On the 15th day of the 10th month in 400 AE, the surviving peoples of the planet called a meeting, with each thousand people electing a representative, who then elected a representative, who then elected a representative to make a total of 200 representatives of all the peoples of Brobar. Those first politicians of the new planet signed the Agreement of Mutual Respect of Brobar (AMRB) in one of three surviving buildings from the Earth Republic times, A single story church located on the island of Mercel. the Agreement re-established law, nationhood and seized all the firearms of the nation, and had them donated to the Galactic Monarch as reparations. It established Islander Coalition State, Donpar (then including modern Colparo and Petros), Vergo (then including modern Torpo, Selos, Coros, Normo, Tia, Corum and Harusa Mountain), Royer (then including modern Ferlum, Selum, Cora, Foreye, Toleye, Sheye, Corteye, Merceleye and Solom), Farence (then including modern Jefes, Roloica and Locos), Socialist Irantica (then including modern Irantic, Irantino, Srantor, Sortia Mountain State, Tribal Lands of Irantic, Rojersa, Jelesia), Cororya (then including Repor, Corloya, losontor, Sortya, Cortie, Torpal), Coror Peninsula, Mercel Free State (then including modern Mercel & Top Isle States) and Dermunt (then including modern Dermunt, Yeltor, Rontos and Corum). and prohibited conflict between those nations over ideological purposes, with all other acts of warfare being required to be reviewed by all other nations before being approved. If a nation was to break the agreement, it was the mutual duty of all remaining signatory nations to embargo the nation, secure the nation by military force agreed upon, and to relinquish control of that state to the Mercel Free State, which existed as a armament-free zone with a mutual government comprising of all other governments of the pact.

Post-Black Years
The period between 400 AE and 478 AE were entirely peaceful, with work to rebuild nations and governments taking priority.

Harusa Independence
in 479 AE People of the Southern Harusa Mountain, known as the Harusans who during conflict had diverged ethnically due to their remoteness and self-reliant nature requested to the Governments of the AMRB to become a self-sufficient state, which was granted later that year. The Republic of the Harusa Mountains, as well as the state of Korbina was proclaimed, with Korbina comprising of the most northerly point of the Mountains where ethnic populations remained majority Vergos. In 490 AE Korbina and Harusa Mountain suffered a major cold spell, after it became known that the bipartisan governments were hoarding food from the citizens, a protest was held which turned into a riot, the government of Korbina was overwhelmed first, as the government had resigned and escaped to AMRB pact nations allowing protesters to peacefully seize the state, while the Republic of the Harusa Mountains mounted a small army of police and public servants (~13,400) who attempted to prevent the seizure of the government using mainly improvised weaponry to no avail, the protesters successfully stormed the chamber of government and arrested the president, who signed the absolution of the Government, The two nations entered a transitional period, before uniting as the United Soviets of Harusa Mountain which remained neutral, stable and self-reliant for the next 300~ years.
