Spartan History 2123-2180
The war between the Spartans and the Hive turned into a full scale carnage.
After the Spartan taskforces found out that they were chased by three ogres, they left three units out of seven to prepare a suicide ambush. Destroying one ogre, and damaging the other two, the rest of the Spartans gained enough time retaliate.
As most of the Hive forces had gone to defend the Hive capital, the rest of the hive bases were in trouble. especially the bases in the monsoon jungle were left undefended or had only a sceleton defence.

The Spartans once again began their gruesome genocide directed mostly towards the five Hive cities located on the border of the mountains and the monsoon jungle, as they left towards home.They looted everything valuable, burning everything else to ashes.
Spartans killed tens of thousands of people, and took more than 10000 people as slaves and as a guaranteed pass through Hive controlled territory. If Yang decided to attack, he would have to go through the 10000 human shields, that the Spartans had taken with them. Even a Hiver can´t be so inhumane.

The remaining two units and some surviving remnants of the seven other units, that had been destroyed during the campaign, were greeted as heroes and the huge gathering of loot and slaves further added to their glory. General Halzburg got a place in the Junta and vastly increased his power.

After the successful campaign against the Hive, Spartans closed their borders and turned to a self inflicted isolationism, prohibiting all movement through their borders. Only closely monitored trade with the free drones was allowed.

However, inside their carefully controlled borders, progress continued. Once again, a huge rover army was built for defence purposes, or against the small amount of native life that hadn´t been terraformed or burned to ashes with the help of the weather paradigm.
As Spartans had done since the antique, bases continued to send their overgrowth populations into new colonies, which resulted in five new colonies.

The fleet project was mostly abandoned, but for the four already built foils, working as scouts. In 2180 these four foils are old and in desperate need of repair and refit.

With the invention of Doctrine:Loyalty, the Spartans turned officially into a police state, one more of Santiagos moves to secure her position. Research and industry continued the same way, and in the year 2140, Sparta Command built the Command Nexus, because of the huge pressures created by controlling the iron curtail put around Spartan territory.

The year 2142 is well remembered by every Spartan, because of the rebellion of War Outpost. After a long siege and a bloody skirmish in the base, the rebellion was crushed and about 1000 military and bureaucratic personnel were publicly executed.

In mission year 2151, the Hive was finally able to open a channel through the blokade made by the Free Drones, and launched a series of attacks against the Spartans. Most of them turned into pointless suicide attacks, as the Spartans quickly repelled these attacks. Few attacks though, succeeded , the best of them being the sacking of Centurion Caves. After that, the Spartans sent a large amount of forces to help the Free Drones in the their struggles to keep the Hive cornered. Since then, it has been a constant battle south of drone territory.

Now, it’s year 2180, and Sparta is boiling within. Huge areas have been turned into farmlands and industrial facilities, with not much success. Thousands of kilometers of arable land has been turned into a wasteland. The cities are turning overcrowded and the countryside just doesn´t have enough places for all the people wanting to move out. The Hive is getting more powerful and the blokade, if nothing is done, will brake.
The pressure made by the discontented people and the corrupt Junta, has forced Santiago to lift the iron curtail. The Spartan juggernaut directs its eyes towards the ex-peacekeeper lands south of the Great Dunes and lands reported by the small Spartan fleet to east, beyond the sea.

Secret History

While the Spartans were fighting and enjoying the fruits of their lands, the slaves taken from the Hive were serving them and building their facilities. The 10000 slaves were at first given crude accommodations and minimal needed rations for survival, though the Spartans demanded much more work of them.

In time, the slave population started growing fast and turned into a valuable asset in the Spartan society, and with that the conditions the slaves had to tolerated got better.
Soon, some of the best serving slaves and their families were given more rights, and some individuals were even freed, though again with some restrictions.

After 30 years of their capture, a part of the slave population had already been turned into Spartans, with the full rights and duties of a Spartan citizen. The rest of the slaves were valued, and debates between bases, how large slave ration they should have, raged constantly. No wonder Spartans valued the hive slaves, they were used to hard work and most of them accepted the Spartan idea of the world with ease.

In the year 2180, all slaves of Sparta have been freed, and they have same chance in moving up through the Hierarchy as any other Spartan, by proving oneself in loyalty and devotion to the Spartan Federation. The Hive slaves have organized themselves into large families, or clans that work practically in symbiosis inside, but do not take strangers kindly and wages feuds with some of other Hive clans for territory, but never opposes Spartan rule. The 10000 slaves have grown into a community of 100000, within another community.

WHATS GOING WITH THE FACTIONS NOT CONTROLLED BY A PLAYER...2181


Gaians:

They are currently preparing for war, mobilizing their forces and increasing it. May take the rest of the year before they Join the War.

Free Drones:

They have started fortifying their borders with the Spartans while reinforcing their borders with the Hive. With the blood truce with them, gives the Free Drones a chance to upgrade their units with Missile Weaponry base on the tech giving by the pirates and to build new units. Mindworm activity has lowered a bit, but some bases continue to be harrassed. Trade with the Pirates and some of the other factions of Chiron Alliance are still strong. The Spartans have closed their borders, closing trade routes to Centurion Cave. Domai thinks its a bit silly of them to do that, especially with the Spartans crapy Industry and all.

Believers:

They are pretty much keeping to themselves, while having limited trade with other factions. Believers notice the Cults new base and are not very happy by it, so they reinforced their western borders. The Believers also started building their own navy at Nessus Sea while they continue expanding eastwards on their continent.


Antimind:

They have their hideouts at Mount Planet and at the large island north-west of the Free Drones/north-east of data angels. Same island which the Spartans has sent their VTOL Air Transport with extra fuel tanks.

Larionov Forces:

They are close to be dead after failing to keep hold of the Pirate Island where the majority of their forces have been lost, but Larionov Forces is still alive... they have hideouts about and have some operatives still hiding among some Pirate Bases and Morganite/University territory. They slowly rebuilding, with help of Morganites/University. They are making plans to of rescuing rest of their comrades at Prison Island, which they still need to find.

Another Sub-Group:

There is a sub-group i have thought up for awhile, and will very slowly adapt to CC. They have operatives all over the place like the Pirates, Data Angels, Morganites, University, Gaians, Believers, Free Drones, Peacekeepers and Hive. Some of the operatives are part of the Nautilus and Data Angel intelligences. They are mainly observers, manipulators, saviours to some, and so on. This sub-group is known to a few like Branko, the Chief of Nautilus Intelligence, maybe Sinder Roze, maybe Lal and even Hive, a bit.

Proginators:

They won't be showing up for a bit, unless people wants them too or two players each play a alien.

Morganites: (forgot them)

Morganites were pretty preparing for war, and a invasion force for the Data Angels, but got twarted mostly by the Data Angels taking control of Morgan Bank again with a Probe Team (or whatever ). The populace are really not looking forward to it, since it is bad for the Economy. And the Coastal Bases are being bombarded by Pirate ships aswell. So me think they will back off from war quite soon. Morganites will not commit any atrocities, since they are not in the mood of paying sanctions. They are currently upgrading their military with Missile Launchers and really starting to build a Air Force.


Chiron/Central Continent:

I doubt that they will have as much bloodshed as on he Eastern Continent here, since it is mostly skirmishs at the moment. Morgan already loss one of its bases. The hotest situations on the continent I see at the moment is near Inspiration Point, at the intersection of the Cyborg-Data Angel and Morgan-University roads, and at the Morgan Bank area.

[DarkCloud]

Actually war is quite good for war profiteer economies such as the Morganites.

Congrats on all the work you have done.

It seems I have a lot to catch up on before I write.

Look at the Morganites situation, the only factions that seriously likes them is University and hav Hive and Spartan as allies, in another continent. There having skirmishs in the middle of the continent. And with the pirates pretty much cutting the Morganites trade and the Cyborgs/Data Angels intefering with trade on the continent, they pretty much entered the war loosing all their trade routes and no way to make a profit during war. they are in a bad position economicly and they just lost Morgan Bank again, cutting off a main road leading to the Uranium Flats from Morgan Industries. The Morganites have a lot to loose and they are not an agressive faction. another loss like Morgan Bank, they'll back out in this Apex Alliance and become neutral. Peace is more profitable than war. Another note, since 2121, they CEO started various programs to minimize the pollution as much as possible, especially when they switch to Free Market as soon they got the tech for it. Remember, they care more about profit than University, Spartans and the Hive.
