Eminian: Difference between revisions

When the Eminian finally conquered space and developed space craft capable of both transporting large numbers of people and traveling throughout their system they established a colony on Eminiar III. They continued to ship out thousands of people each year. All most all of these colonists were members of the Vend Min Kan, a group with different cultural and religious beliefs than most of the rest of the population. Eventually all of the Vend Min Kans were transported to their new colony as well as a number of other smaller cultural sub-groups. Each sub-group settled in a different location on the planet and they developed into small nation states with their own governments and policies.  

Eventually sometime around the early 18th century the ungrateful colonists started to call themselves [[Vendikan|Vendikans]] and renamed their world Vendikar. This seems to coincide with an increase in their negative behavior. They amount of complaining they were doing increased and they objected more and more about their having to repay their debts to their home world with  natural resources and other goods.  

Shortly after this the colonists declared independence, stopped supplying goods and natural resources and illegally seized all of the ships currently docked on their world. This was obviously an act of war that outraged the Eminians but since they obviously wanted war they would get a war and they started to shift their production over to building warships and weapons.     

By the late 18th century war had broken out between them and the colonists, a war that lasted more than 500 years. The conditions of this war were stipulated in a treaty signed by both worlds in 2031. As a result they shifted from fighting a real war to fighting a simulated war with causalities determined by computer projections, and the people willingly killing themselves in disintegration stations. Legitimate targets in the war included vessels orbiting the planet. The reneging of this treaty by either side could result in a real war.  

In 2217, the  USS Valiant visited this planet. During its visit, the  star cruiser and its crew were declared causalities of this war. The Eminians successfully destroyed the ship and killed its crew.  

By 2304 they entered into a joint commercial and defense pact that had them establish long term trade and joint military operations with in their system. Surprisingly this joint endeavor has lasted and gradually morphed into its current form with a permanent joint military and an economic system so interwoven as to be practically a single entity.
