Yes, hopefully by June 22nd I will have the back story compleated and be ready to start writing scenes.

Ok, here you go. You've given twelve pieces of the puzzle of 2049 and (I hope) 2050 history

Woops, thanks, completly missed that.

Edit: I will try and bang out as many of the battles for Octoclopsys as I can over this weekend, but I am going to be very busy, considering I am playing a small thing live, nothing special, two covers, and am also set to begin teaching myself keyboards, as I recently (yesterday), came into aquisition of a Yamaha YPG 235, love it.

Edit 2: Have been busy, only worked out two battles, and I have finals coming up, so I am going to be busy the next few weeks, but I promise I will do what i can. Stay Tuned...........

[Iron Maiden]

Whew. Sorry I have not been posting, as stated earlier, finals, been busy preparing and such. Anyway, here are some battles to keep you held over in the meantime, I will work out more tomorrow, and hopefully soon finish Octoclopsys. Also, any requests for more detailed analysis, basically a narration of a certain battle, is welcome and I will do what I can to pump them out for you.

December 7th, 2050, 1st Battle of Unus Magnus Plylae: Major John Aldan’s company, Omega of the 3rd fleet, 1st division, along with Alpha, Charlie, and Romeo companies of the 2nd division make the first landing in the first, and largest, of the eight major canyons of Octoclopsys. Believing it is poorly defended and that the canyon is simply too big to be well protected by Treasconi forces, the landing party makes a landing near the Western mouth of the canyon. However, soon after landing, the ESEDF camp comes under ferocious attack by Imperial forces. Only through intervention by rebel insiders in the Imperial camp does the Major manage to repel the initial assault force. Throughout the day, more attacks continue, reaching their climax in a major battle 5 miles outside the camp near sundown, where Charlie Company takes heavy casualties but managing to rout the Imperial force for the next few days. More battles to drive Aldans out of the canyon and onto the nearby plains, where they will be easy prey for Treasconi forces, will continue for the coming weeks, only being defeated by Major Aldans cunning and the aid of Treasconi rebels.

December 25th, 2050, Battle of Mulheli Delta: the Mulheli Delta is a large delta that empties into Chal’endo Sea. Aware of the sacredness of Christmas day to many ESEDF soldiers, imperial troops launch a major armored attack on their holding along the Chal’endo Sea. A force under the command of Colonel Abjit Rao is sent to intercept the assault force. The two forces meet at the Mulheli Delta. This battle is highlighted by many tank to tank battles along the various small islands that lie in the large delta. The battle ends in a draw, with the imperial force being forced to withdraw but with the ESEDF having lost many tanks and skilled pilots in the battle. However, it manages to secure much of the Chal’endo coast for the ESEDF, allowing for them to move inward to hopefully link up with other landing parties led by John Aldans, Colonel Lewis McDermott, Major Jack Sheppard, and Captain Wi Tzu.

January 2nd, 2051, Battle of the Inner Ring: on January 2nd, large supply convoys jump from Pluto to Octoclopsys to deliver reinforcements, food, medicine, and other essential to carry on the war. Upon hearing of the large amount of supplies being delivered, a large Imperial fleet jumps into the inner ring to intercept them. While they receive many aero-space fighter casualties, they do manage to do a large amount of damage to several transport convoys, which has its consequences on ESEDF ground forces. The fighter battles that rage in the asteroid thick ring are often studied due to the complexity of the battle “terrain” and the number of Treasconi fighters fought against.

January 6th, 2051, Battle of Mount Aecheli: On January 3rd, General Wladyslaw arrives on Octoclopsys to take full control over a large force to push inland towards the Maek’itsumi mountains and the mass population centers around it. Mount Aecheli is the outermost mountain of the chain, miles from the rest. It is here that imperial forces make a stand to push Wladyslaw back. They manage to succeed, pincer maneuvering Wladyslaw’s army into a retreat and pushing him back towards the sea. However, the Imperial force is ambushed a week later by a combined force of Wladyslaw’s and rebel troops and thus forced to withdraw, once again opening up the area for invasion, which Wladyslaw begins a week following the ambush.

[Iron Maiden]

Hello again readers. Sorry I have not given you much quality stuff as of late, I had finals, but theri over, I'm out of shcool, and need to finish this outline before the 22nd. So, here are some new, intresting battles for you to read and question. Also, input in wanted for my speaking s of Nitronium, I want to know if it is possible. Also, again I am opun to give more detail about anything you wish, just say what you want more on and I will give it to you. Enjoy, more soon.

January 17th, 2051, 10th Battle of Unus Magnus Pylae: The battle for the first major canyon reaches its height during the tenth major battle within the canyon’s walls. During this time, Charlie and Omega companies make a major foray into Imperial territory. They are countered by a large Treasconi armor division based directly in their path. However, a tip from a rebel commander gives Aldans access to a series of caves running beneath the base. Aldans uses this information to his advantage, and secretly sends several scouts into the cave to investigate. However, the cave is crawling with Imperial scouts as well, so a skirmish develops. Hearing word of this, the Imperial division makes a move against Aldans and his forces. Employing the tactic he used at the Tarback River, Aldans leaves some of his force behind in the caves and lures the Treasconi armor into his own zone of control. Once there, the two forces pincer and crush the armor division, and then proceed to capture the base. This victory places 60% of the canyon under Aldans control.

January 30th, 2051, Battle of Mu’muzuka: Mu’muzuka is large city and a center of trade on Octoclopsys as well a city of great splendor. While fearful for his life in being so close to the front, Kasiquanzi lands here of January 20th to better survey the ongoing battle and raise morale in his forces. Upon hearing of this by rebel insiders, General McMullen sends a force of 5,000 to attack and hopefully capture the city and Imperial emperor. The assault goes sour however when the strike force meets the Imperial guard force, a well trained and equipped group of 8,000 soldiers specifically bred from birth to guard and give their lives for the emperor. While attempting to withdraw before combat, the ESEDF force is rushed by the Imperial guard force, who, amidst 1,000 casualties, crush the ESEDF force. Soon after, Kasiquanzi withdraws off planet, fearing it to be too dangerous to remain. Soon after, with the city now defenseless with the Imperial guard gone, McMullen strikes back and takes the city with his much of his entire army, securing a wide swath of land with which to begin an all out offensive to the city of Kar’muraha, where much of the Imperial force is commanded out of.

February 5-13th, 2051, Siege of Kar’muraha: Following the Mu’muzuka incident, General McMullen begins to start taking personal command of his forces, using his entire army to crush whatever Imperial resistance is in his path, using his entire force as a simple, giant battering ram to drive onward to Kar’muraha. Once near the city, McMullen lays siege in hopes of avoiding any form of major conflict which may cause harm to his large force. Initially, he succeeds. However, on the 11th, the regional commander, Zen’Maestratum, sallies forth to confront McMullen. The Battle, in which McMullen used both his 1st and 4th divisions, manages to defeat the Imperial force but at substantial cost, featuring the first large scale bayonet charge in years, though these are plasma bayonets, triggered by an extrusion of plasma which is held in shape by a magnetic field. This charge, called the white charge after Colonel LeBlanc, who led it against the Treasconi left wing, continues to raise eyebrows in EDEDF study classes to the impracticality of it, but also in how it succeeded brilliantly. The next day, McMullen leads an assault on the city, capturing it and forcing many regional Imperial forces to withdraw. Its proximity to Unus Magna Pylae also allows for his forces to begin assaulting Imperial position fighting Major Aldans from behind, allowing the Major to finally break through and reunite with his ESEDF companions, and effectively control the canyon.

February 15th, 2051, Battle of Lake Cew’yuchi: Lake Cew’yuchi is a major lake caused by the volcanic eruption that gave birth to the Septum Magna Pylae, and is an instrumental part of the Imperial military’s tank production. Aware of this, General Cardiff, with the aid of a small rebel force, begin an assault on the lake with a force of 30,000. They encounter a similar Treasconi force, but due to natural knowledge of the terrain, the Imperial forces manage to annihilate Cardiff’s force and nearly drive him into the lake himself. However, at the last minute, reinforcements from Wladyslaw arrive and beat back the Imperial army, and capture the tank production facility relatively intact. The action puts Cardiff to shame within himself, feeling he is a lackluster commander, and nearly resigns, only being convinced otherwise by a trusted officer.

February 17th, 2051, Battle of Octum Magna Pylae: While still large, the eighth major canyon on Octoclopsys is relatively small compared to the rest. It is here that a force of 10,000 under the guise of Major Jack Coleridge is sent to capture the canyon and its rich deposits of natural resources. In his path is only a small Imperial force, some 6,000 strong. The two forces meet late in the evening on February 17th, as a small snow storm moves in. Unbeknownst to the ESEDF, the Treasconi, now fully aware to the strengths and weaknesses of the ESEDF, have been developing a new type of bullet, capable of penetrating ESEDF armor easily. It is made out of Nitronium, the element used primarily in the construction of Treasconi tanks. Nitronium is a synthesized element made by the Treasconi that is astonishingly light, with what would be 15 units of Nitronium being equal in weight to just 1 pound of iron. Though light, Nitronium is astonishingly strong, and its light weight means that the amount of force required to push one regular bullet out of a barrel can send a Nitronium bullet out twice as fast. During this battle, the Imperial forces unveil this new bullet. While they are defeated, they cause very heavy casualties to the ESEDF force, including killing Major Coleridge. The result is the ESEDF force not taking much of the canyon as planned, but taking it slowly as reinforcements arrive for fear of becoming too scattered and open to counterattack. The battle sends the new Nitronium bullet into mass production, and with it, heightened deaths for the ESEDF.

February 21st- 23rd , 2051, Battle of Tun’kwali Island: Tun’kwali Island is a 60 mile wide island in the middle of the Chal’endo Sea home to major Imperial air base and Turinmurinto death camp. On the 21st, General Wladyslaw sends 1,700 troops to the island to capture it and free the Turinmurinto before Imperial troops can land there in the coming days to reinforce the position and prepare an offensive against the ESEDF controlled coast line. Though in the first day all goes according to plan, Imperial troops arrive ahead of schedule the second day and battle the ESEDF for the 20 miles of island still under their control. The following two days see both forces fighting in a stalemate until a group of freed Turinmurinto sneak into the Imperial camp and kill the guards, allowing several ESEDF commandos to sneak in as well and destroy man Imperial tanks and munitions stores, the following morning, the Imperial force surrenders, the ultimate humiliation for a Treasconi warrior. The capture also allows the ESEDF to land more fighters on the planet, basing them out of the airbase to begin launching attack of Imperial forces in the various islands in the South Chal’endo Sea.

March 1st- March 20th , 2051, Battle of U’Maskia: Far out in the Tak’ehu Ocean lies the small island region of U’Maskia, a major manufacturing complex and part of the Imperial war machine. As part of Operation Mermaid, the task of capturing the various islands of Octoclopsys’ oceans, General Cardiff sends 20,000 soldiers to capture the island group, giving them a clear shot at moving across the ocean and towards Mu’nake, the capital of Octoclopsys. When the force initially arrives, the encounter little resistance. However, Imperial forces soon push back en masse, and almost drive the ESEDF off the chain until March 15th, when a rebel insider sends much of the Imperial force into an ambush set by the ESEDF, the plan succeeds, and the ESEDF quickly makes their advance back towards their former zone of control, and capture the final Imperial base on the 20th with aid of a rebel commando team which had been causing chaos behind Imperial lines for many days prior. With this victory, Operation Mermaid is deemed to be at this point a success, and will continue to be so for the coming few months as Imperial forces become stretched to deal with the flood of ESEDF troops now swarming the planet, with recruitment back home reaching a rate of 700 a day.

Question: This battle thing is proving too long and honestly a waste of my time, perhaps I should just move on to character bio's?

[Psychedelic Rhino]

I would agree.

If you even write a page or two of characterization and story involved with each battle, you have weeks of work.

[Iron Maiden]

Thank you PR. I will start likely tonight and hopefully by tomorrow have some bio's of the ESEDF General's to give you.

[Iron Maiden]

Here are the first two bios. They are of Cardiff and Wladyslaw, the two major general's of the ESEDF in the war. Enjoy

Bios:
General William Cardiff

General Cardiff was born, in all places, Cardiff Wales on July 11th, 1998. He was born to a wealthy family with various connections in government and the media, allowing his family to have the disposable income to give William what he wanted. However, William was not comfortable with this lifestyle, and became distant with his family as a teenager. In 2014, during the 20th year remembrance of the Luna rebellion, and with much political hype about growing conflict on Europa, Cardiff became interested in military history and politics, spending entire days online or in library’s to learn as much as possible. He quickly developed a passion for it, and in 2017 joined the ESEDF a promising young Sergeant. In 2018 he was assigned to a squad of 150 along with a young Otto Wladyslaw tasked to deal a powerful blow to a terrorist operations base on Io. However, when things went awry, the mission was called off and handed over to another squad. Since then, though no one knows what happened, Wladyslaw and Cardiff have been bitter enemies. Following the botched attack, Cardiff was transferred to the 2nd fleet were he took the position of commander of Echo company of the 1st division following a stunning performance fighting a rebel group on Mars in October of 2020. He gradually made Echo one of the best companies in the fleet and ESEDF, making his way to Brigadier general of Alpha through Montana companies in 2029. In 2031, he was promoted supreme commander of the 2nd fleet’s army following the resignation of General Wolfe following a highly controversial sex scandal. Though viewed with speculation given his family’s control of much of the UK’s media at this time, Cardiff managed to disprove skeptics by reforming the 2nd into an extraordinarily disciplined fighting machine, loyal to Cardiff and their officers, seeming to abandon their freedom for support of their commanders.

Cardiff’s command style is based very much in strenuous planning and the belief that things will somehow go according to plan. He is very much an Alpha type personality, liking to take direct control of his troops in the belief that he is the wisest of officers. This however, leads to Cardiff being unable to often adapt to changes in the situation and lacks the capability to allow other points of view to find their way into his plans. It is because of this he finds trouble with the Treasconi military, whose use of deception and Guerilla tactics often throw Cardiff’s plans out the window, causing Cardiff to have to rely on his field commanders to adapt to the situation.

During the war, Cardiff suffered from a great bout depression due to a wide variety of defeats and lack of faith in his command ability due to his plans often not working. However, he also achieves several major victories, though many come at the hands of his other commanders, not through him directly. At the war’s end, Cardiff stays in the ESEDF for two more years in hopes of finding glory in a mass battle with Imperial loyalists who refuse to accept the new Treasconi republic. He does not find it, and returns home to a lackluster welcome, and goes onto to teach at the ESEDF academy in London for 9 years until his death by stroke in 2067. He is remembered for his service only by a small statue in Trafalgar square, refitted after the war to commemorate all those who from the UK who die in the war. He is often cited by ESEDF generals later on as the general who “knew how to find victory, but not how to get it.”

General Otto Wladyslaw

Otto Wladyslaw was born to a middle class family in Krakow Poland on April 2nd, 2000. His family moved to New York City the following year due to economic hardships in Krakow. Otto was originally destined to be a classical pianist and was prepared since age 5. At age 13, he was transferred to a music school to continue his studies. However, as the Europa uprising captivated much of the world, Wladyslaw too became infatuated with the military and dropped out of school to enlist, hoping to make his family more proud of him as a soldier then a pianist. In 2018, he entered service a corporal of the third fleet and quickly became known for his determination and strategic intelligence. However, after an incident on Io with Cardiff, the two once best friends became bitter enemies. Wladyslaw stayed in the 3rd and moved up the ranks after constant victories against rebel and terrorist groups, even rescuing Federation representative Shepherd after being kidnapped in July of 2022, which saw Wladyslaw promoted to Major. In 2025, he was promoted second in command of the Attila for his bravery in a space battle with a pirate fleet near Ceres. In 2027, he was selected by Admiral Green to replace General Korsakov following his retirement. Wladyslaw warily took the position, growing uncomfortable with such respect, as he was raised to be a very modest person and never dealt with fame well until the war’s end. Wladyslaw saw the 3rd’s army to be more a family then a fighting force, and instead of instilling strict discipline, took a page from the conquests of Julius Caesar, allowing his men to do what they wished on their down time, only wishing that they fought well. This met harsh criticism from Admiral Green and much of the EF high council. However, when Admiral Green retired and was replaced by Admiral Jacobs, Wladyslaw received more credit and power as Jacobs was able to see where Wladyslaw was approaching things in his style of order and command, thus the 3rd became increasingly powerful and revered due to the wise command styles of both Jacobs and Wladyslaw.

Wladyslaw’s command style is much more lax then Cardiff’s, relying more so on simply going with the flow of things and giving more power to the individual soldier then Cardiff, who see’s the officers as the only ones fit to lead. Wladyslaw also is a much more up front general, preferring to be right in the middle of the action, almost getting killed several times during the wars including being shot in the arm during a battle on Elysium. He also continued to play piano and had Admiral Jacobs install a keyboard in the lounge of every ship in the 3rd, believing it helps the soldiers relax. During the war Wladyslaw often secured many major victories with the 3rd, several of which he won himself. Given the strength of the 3rd, it often was the first to send troops into combat, with the 2nd fleet often times taking a back seat to the fighting skill of the 3rd, a skill Cardiff never truly understood. Given Wladyslaw and Cardiff’s constant feuding, both sides often focused their troops to certain areas to avoid any form of internal conflict, and that they did not want to share responsibility in defense and offense. Wladyslaw’s forces were also much more involved with working with the rebels, with Major John Aldans often being assigned to aid them.

After the war, Wladyslaw continued to serve the 3rd for another six years before being elected representative to the Treasconi republic in 2063, this position did not last long however when the Treasconi began an Exodus back to Alpha Centuari in 2066. He returned home a hero and is a national icon in both Poland and the United States. He lived the rest of his days following his ambassadorship in peace in a small town in rural New York, dying of natural causes in 2076, remembered by monuments in New York City and Krakow, each one being the left and right half of his body. He is often cited as being one of the first great ESEDF general’s along with Cardiff and McMullen.

[Iron Maiden]

More Bios! Enjoy, must finish before the 22nd, then I will take a break but also begin really writing this thing. So much to do, Write this, write songs and music, which is really hard to do well, learning to read the bass cleff for Jazz band in the fall, and finding time to play BZ2 and Empire Total War! Aaaaaaaghhhhhhh!

General Lewis McMullen

Lewis McMullen was born to middle class family in Cork Ireland on October 29th, 2003. The fifth child in his family, he was often neglected by his parents and siblings and received equal treatment in school, where he tried his hardest in order to receive some form of positive recognition by his parents. He excelled in mathematics and history, skills that would aid him in his time in the ESEDF. In 2025, he enlisted in the ESEDF as a way out of him menial life working as a librarian. He quickly showed great aptitude in commanding of troops through numerous battles with rebellious group on the outer colonies around Neptune and Uranus. In 2030, he was promoted to Colonel of Delta Company of the 1st fleet, 3rd division, a post he used to gain fame in the ESEDF by using the company to annihilate a rebel force twice its size on Ganymede with minimal casualties, the victory made McMullen a Brigadier General of Montana through Zulu companies. In 2032, he was appointed supreme commander of the 1st fleet’s army following General Long’s retirement. While the 3rd commanded the most respect of the ESEDF fleets, McMullen made the 1st a force to reckon with, believing that preparedness, faith, and strong determination are the factors that make a unit successful in combat.

McMullen’s command style is based on strength of will and the “fight to the last” mentality, showing great disdain for his men when they run from battle. He also is known to use mathematical formulas to determine his battle strategy, if the odds are against him, he often holds back or withdraws from action. He abandons modern techniques for more traditional tactics, often using bayonet charges and using very large forces in battle as opposed to the smaller forces sent in by Wladyslaw and Cardiff to deal with the Guerilla movements of imperial forces. It is this technique that has McMullen fighting major battles often due to always having the large forces handy to deal with the Imperial armies. His use of older tactics make a challenge for many Imperial commanders, who struggle to cope fighting on various fronts against generals who all use different kinds of tactics, making developing a cohesive plan difficult.

Returning home from the war, McMullen was regarded as a hero for his many victories and for his efforts in establishing the Treasconi Republic. Unlike Wladyslaw and Cardiff, McMullen retired following the war and went on to become a professor of modern history at the University of Dublin, where he became famous for his vivid recounts of his time in the ESEDF, and garnered fame as being on the of the first true scholars of the war, often looking back upon the actions of he and his fellow generals during the conflict and publishing three books on the various noteworthy events of the war and the impacts of the ESEDF and EF decisions, which landed him in hot water with various officials. He died of complications he suffered in battle on Elysium at his summer home in Texas on July 9th, 2081, the last supreme general to die who served in the war. He is remembered by a statue outside Dublin University and the International endowment of Human-Treasconi relations along with Wladyslaw by a museum in the former imperial capital of K’hanali Mu’rael made the capital of the Treasconi system following the exodus.

Admiral Samuel Jacobs

Samuel Jacobs is often regarded as one of the finest admirals the ESEDF ever had. He was born in Bartlett Nebraska on December 21st, 2008. A small, very rural county, Jacobs struggled for intellectual stimulation amongst the average intelligence of the various farmers, being naturally smart in politics, English, history, math, and chemistry. At AGE 16, seeking to be amongst the sprawl of the big city, he ran away from home, having made preparations to be a student a high school in Chicago his father had forbade him to go to given the need for extra farm labor. However, soon after joining, Jacobs became disillusioned with the world by the large amount of poverty and crime in the city. Deeply moved by this, he began searching for some kind of solace, finding that modern politics were little more than a waste of time and growing uncomfortable in the foreign surroundings of a large city. It was then that he made the decision to join the ESEDF, managing to sneak in at the age of 17 and spending over 6 years at the academy, entering the ranks as a Major in charge of a fighter squadron onboard the Maratha. He displayed a great ability to fight, lead, and showed a brilliant understanding of advanced strategy. He was promoted to captain of the Maratha in 2035, and captain of the Paris in 2039. In 2040, when Admiral Hernandez resigned due to pressure involving the alleged murder of his wife, Jacobs was promoted Admiral. He immediately set about to reform the 3rd, bringing the soldiers closer together as a family and instilling them the Socratic method, making them more independent and abstract thinkers. While this drew criticism by EF/ESEDF officials and General Cardiff, it showed it effectiveness wherever the 3rd went. Throughout the war, the 3rd’s elite fighting style made it revered amongst the Imperial army, who grew vary wary of going into battle against 3rd fleet forces, particularly Omega, Bravo, Tango, and Zulu companies. The combined styles of Jacobs in space and Wladyslaw on land made the 3rd a force to be reckoned with.

Jacobs command style if very much based upon knowledge of your foe and advanced thinking, as Jacobs put it, “Always expect the random and predict the obvious”. In space, he often would use his knowledge of the abilities of each ships commander to determine who to send into combat. He also used very irregular battle formations in order to confuse the Imperial fleet and use deception to keep the Imperial fleet constantly on alert. His various victories with the aid of admiral Borskov garnered him fame and fear by the Imperial fleet.

After the war, Jacobs remained in the ESEDF for 10 years, helping to establish the Treasconi republic by destroying Imperial loyalists and supplying regions with goods needed to restore themselves after the war. He was welcomed home following his retirement from the fleet a hero and became a Grand Marshall, where he reformed to ESEDF into a larger version of the 3rd fleet, and working to establish Treasconi rights in EF territory, his final act being the formation of the 1st integrated fleet in 2067. He sadly died a tragic death when a single stray bullet from a nearby gang shooting hit him in the neck in 2071; he died 2 weeks later of complications. His service is remembered by a large monument in the former Imperial capital and a statue of him commanding the Attila at the Battle of Jaemusufey outside the ESEDF Earth headquarters building in Boston.

Major John Aldans

John Aldans was born to middle class family in Cambridge, Massachusetts on April 17th, 2010, the day of the solar flare that wrecked electronics throughout the federation. Being so close to the ESEDF Earth headquarters, Aldans naturally developed an interest in the military, only aided by his great fascination in history and politics. His interest was only enhanced further by talking with the various ESEDF officials, general’s, admiral’s, captains, and soldiers that were all around the city. At 16, using the clout he had gained being around the headquarters for being a spirited person passionate about the ESEDF, managed to sign up underage and began training and studying at the ESEDF base in the Blue Hills for 8 years, graduating at the top of his class a Major, and immediately sent out to deal with an insurrectionist group on Triton threatening shipping. Aldans showed his his unorthodox tactics and determination could win the day against huge odds, he was outnumbered 7-1. He given command of Alpha Company of the 2nd fleet, 1st division, but was changed to the 3rd via Cardiff’s request, who believed that Aldans’ style of combat was too strange to be effective in battle consistently. He took command of the 3rd’s 3rd division Omega company, the “Cowboys from Hell” as they called themselves given they were composed primarily of heartland United States men. During the war, this company saw some of the most ferocious combat and was often the first in and last out.

Aldans’ command style, like many of his contemporaries, is based on strange tactics but also takes influence from the Treasconi, adopting the Imperial’s style of combat to preserve his men, and to maximize his kills. Aldans is very loyal to his, treating them like family and is very resistant in leaving any man behind. He also was a major proponent in accepting the aid of the rebel factions in the war, working hard to improve terms between the two people’s, by the end of the war being near completely fluent in Treasconi, a difficult language. This evidenced when many of his dropships went down when returning to Astantisis after a covert operation on Earth. Of all the ships that went down, 78 of 324 died on impact. Aldans and his wingman, Lieutenant James Bissus led all the wounded and the rest of the men 70 kilometers to the nearest base, an act which made Aldans a Colonel and Bissus a Captain for their bravery.

Following the war, Aldans retired to Cambridge where he was received well and proceeded to become an ESEDF recruiter. He died 3 years later by suicide, citing night terrors and angst following the loss of his comrades, particularly his close friend Bissus’ death the year after the war ended in battle against Imperial Loyalists. . He is remembered by a plaque outside the ESEDF headquarters in Boston and in the museum of Treasconi war history in New York, where his tank is on display.

[Iron Maiden]

Here are the final Bios. I am now going to start writing actual scenes after the 2nnd, need some days off. However, would this work better as a book or a Screenplay, input wanted. Enjoy.

Kasiquanzi

Kasiquanzi was born as the 19th successor to the Munt’hala dynasty on the 16th cycle of the 10th long count. A long count is about 300 Earth years and a cycle is 100 days, there are 20 cycles. Like his predecessors, he was groomed to take control of the empire and to be a wise, fair, and strong emperor. Kasiquanzi however, had his thoughts elsewhere, and was more interested in conquest then peace. However, being as it there was nothing else to conquer in the system, Kasiquanzi had to adapt when he was crowned on his 20th cycle, and went about building up the Treasconi military to three times the size it was before his rule, bringing it up to a standing force of over 3 million with plenty more in reserve. He received much criticism from his much of his family, at least those stupid enough to speak out against him and the public. Having a naturally unstable mind, Kasiquanzi grew paranoid, and in 2037, had much of his immediate family killed with the exception of his wife, though she herself held great fear for him. This action was followed by a massive military crackdown on rebellions to his rule, giving him a chance to use his new, powerful military. In 2040, with more widespread rebellion, Kasiquanzi, now too obsessed with power and glory then the welfare of his people, looked for a way to ease the people’s tensions, only aided by food shortages and plague’s that were on the rise due to Kasiquanzi’s lack of care for public welfare, only that of his own. To compensate for this, Kasiquanzi developed a scapegoat, the Turinmurinto, who Kasiquanzi altered history to make it look like they were responsible for many of the Treasconi’s problems. Given that Kasiquanzi had also not put adequate focus on education, many younger people believed him, and violence against the Turinmurinto began on what would be January 13, 2042, “Cher’masikia” “Hate night”, when Imperial forces began to raid Turinmurinto homes and set up various death and concentration camps. Outrage against this grew slowly, as it took time for the Treasconi people to see their mistakes and find order in the now hectic world of Kasiquanzi’s regime. In 2047, an official rebel faction was formed under the leadership of former Imperial general Khar’turnsumn, Mur’turnsumn’s cousin. Managing to stay hidden and basing themselves in plain sight amongst regular people, the Imperial military had a difficult time dealing with them.

When the ESEDF arrived in 2049, and war quickly broke out, Kasiquanzi found it to be a perfect opportunity to use his sitting military effectively and to hopefully win over public favor by defeating the superior ESEDF army. However, as a quick, easy victory became less likely following the fall of Ectoclopsys, Kasiquanzi grew more mentally unstable unable to cope with the loss of glory and the realization that the image he had designed himself to be was fading quickly. With a massive defeat at Octoclopsys and later at Astantisis, Kasiquanzi continued to grow further and further paranoid to the point where mass rebellion began in several major Elysium cities without a military force garrisoned, Kasiquanzi had the areas nuked. By the time of the Elysium invasion in early 2056, Kasiquanzi finally began to accept the war could not be won, but was determined to die trying, climaxing in the Battle of Cher’stadii, the single largest battle of the war and largest confrontation of human history up to that point. The battle, which holds records for the loudest, biggest, bloodiest, and most logistically difficult ever, resulted in the total rout of the Treasconi army to the capital, where it prepared to fight to the death for their emperor. However, on Halloween, 2056, Kasiquanzi’s son, Wherunquanzi, allowed 100 commandos into the Imperial compound, storming into his father’s throne room and shooting him in the head, killing him instantly.
F
ollowing the war, Kasiquanzi’s body was incinerated, a great shame for any Treasconi. His ashes are held in an urn made from a combination of metal from both a Treasconi and ESEDF battle tank which is buried beneath a monument on the site of first confrontation between ESEDF and Imperial forces at the former Dido base on Ectoclopsys, where an eternal black flame is lit, symbolizing how no one will forget the evils of Kasiquanzi’s reign. However, in name is not allowed to be inscribed on any permanent medium, so the plaque on the monument, in English reads: “Here lie the ashes of a man who turned an empire into such.” His son would go on to become the first president of the Treasconi republic and his great-grandson would become the president that the ESEDF would meet when they encountered the Treasconi after the exodus 70 years later.

Grand Marshall Ferdinand: A Grand marshal who oversees the Jacobs’ handling of the Operation Recoil, the grand name for the war against the Imperial army.

Admiral Boreskov: Made Admiral of the Second fleet following Admiral Chu’s death by heart attack the night of the fleet’s jump to the Treasconi system.

He returned home and died shortly after the war from battle wound complications he suffered during a space battle late in the war when the Caesar came under heavy attack as ESEDF forces were closing in on the Imperial capital.

Lieutenant James Bissus: Aldans friend and personal wingman who joined Aldans company 3 years before the war a young, punkish, rash, stupid young man itching for a fight. Since then, he became mellower and became a good friend with Aldans, once his arch enemy for his strict, calm, democratic way of doing things. Often accompanied Aldans into battle and would in fact save him several times in tight combat. He would die after the war in battle with Imperial loyalists on Octoclopsys, which would be a leading cause in Aldans suicide two years later.

Wherunquanzi: Kasiquanzi’s only son, who was born as his father began to slowly delve into insanity following the murder of much of his immediate family. A reasonable person and brought up mostly by his mother and loyal servants, he became very distant from his father as he grew up, realizing he was insane and a risk to the Treasconi people and himself. At what would be age 15, he began to talk with Rebel leaders, and aided them significantly during the war. However, he never managed to formally speak with an actual ESEDF person face to face until the terms of Imperial surrender in November of 2056.

He showed great promise as a soldier and was given a position as leader of North East Ectoclopsys’ military in 2048.

Following his death in battle against the combined force of Cardiff and McMullen’s combined armies; his body was buried at the tip of the Ich’tuchu Peninsula, in memory of his valiant last stand there.
