The Story Of The Far Reaches

The Story of The Far Reaches is a catalogue of the events that happen during the Omnes Feud, a mass war fought across the entirety of the Milky Way galaxy, all the way from The First Exodus, widely believed to be the cause of the Omnes Feud, and Finis, a projected end of the feud with many probable outcomes.

The First Exodus
Humanity is running out of things to exploit. It's exhausted it's planet and if it doesn't find a new source soon, the race may as well be extinct. In order to allow itself to continue onward, Humanity sent six great convoys with the resources it had; Vitality, Armistice, Surplus, and Nova. The convoys spanned far and wide, searching the galaxy. Vitality went MIA, with Armistice and Surplus bringing a decent amount of resources home, but not enough.

Suddenly, November 4th, 2075, Askott Conrad, Commander of the Nova fleet, returned with a rich cache of commodities. Human activity boomed once more, with more fleets being sent out into space, searching for materials and returning with a fortune. Then, December 15th, 2076, the Dominance was reported KIA. December 16th, a convoy returned with 87% of it's fleet destroyed. An intelligent species had done so in retaliation of the Nova apparently stripping whole planets dry for resources.

Now, if this were any other time period, the humans would negotiate, but the resources they were extorting were vital for their rapidly growing population. So they instead attempted to instigate a trade route as a compromise. They were met with another attack on the convoys, on December 25th, 2076, in what was known as the Christmas Massacre. The Humans launched a counter attack on the opposing species. Other species with similar issues, supported the Human's efforts. The attacks lead to the species calling upon it's allies to fight against the humans.

The New Year's War
The event that seemed to have kicked off the main event of the Omnes Feud. A counterattack set up by Humanity to intercept a Keskan fleet over in the Valeus System, Captain Yefim Dorschev, of the only fission powered ship in the entire world, the Yadernoy, had requested that some of the remaining Nova fleet attack the Keskan ships stationed there. With his request approved, Captain Dorschev proceeded to lead the Yadernoy to the Valeus system, attacking a Keskan fleet that had stopped overhead for supplies.

After three long months of fighting, the Yadernoy was boarded by Keskan forces, giving Dorschev no choice but to trigger a nuclear meltdown of the ship's fission reactor. In doing so, the multiple fission engines detonated, creating a massive nuclear explosion that rocked a multitude of other ships with heavy EMP that followed after the detonation. This domino effect lead to the destruction of several other ships, and the destruction of those eventually cascaded to the Keskan Flagship crashing down onto the planet. The explosion left only a meager amount of survivors left.

The resulting explosions also lead to a drastic change in Yadernoy's ecosystem, the radiation turning the planet cold and barren.

It also gave birth to Yadernoians and a whole slew of Keskan propaganda, so we have that too...
