Republic of Crescellia, also known as RoC or Crescellia Republic, was named after a corporation from another game called Starquest Online, founded by the same player. Overall, Crescellia Republic took its name after a Pokemon from Diamond and Pearl, Cresselia. This empire was a Monarchy. The empire also primarily used the "Crescellian" species, was invitation only, and had 10 sectors at its height.

History

Era of Ascension

The Era of Ascension was the first recorded history of the Republic of Crescellia. During this time, the Republic evolved on its homeworld near the Tymas Confederation border, and quickly expanded, growing in both power, and size. This occurred in the Pre-PGW era and historical files indicate that the Republic reached over 7 Sectors in size, colonising several ringworlds, and even more Systems. The Technology level of the Republic was predicted to have reached about TL24.

As the PGW drew nearer, the Rik'Tan Hegemony gave Crescellia an ultimatum, to relocate the entire Republic nearby, to ally themselves with the Hegemony, or to remain near Tymas as an enemy. The Republic took offense to the threat of war, and remained where they were, allying with Tymas, they were soon drawn into the Pan Galactic War. While never entering the war fully, no warship of Crescellia was capable of withstanding against The Foundation's fleets, Crescellia chose to remain behind the scenes, assisting the Tymas Confederation and growing the Republic to a point where it could enter the war.

Era of Devastation

As the Pan Galactic War Era drew to a close, the Republic hit its peak, with technology reaching as high as TL30, and spanning over 10 sectors, this status would be short lived. When the two conflicting forces in the PGW signed a cease fire, agreeing to deal with the Galactic Bio-emergency, whereby many deadly diseases were appearing throughout the galaxy, communication records show that the Republic was one such empire to be devastated by the diseases. Logs show, that the Ruling Monarch, King Kora Tomaka, chose to ignore medical technologies, focusing on military power, when the outlying colonies became infected, he quarantined the systems from all, destroying any and all vessel to enter the sectors.

This was however too late. The Disease began spreading into the Republic's core sectors, eventually, the Homeworld became infected with the devastating illness, unable to create a cure, King Tomaka turned to his ally, Tymas, for medical assistance. Unable to grant sufficient access to medical technologies, and too pre-occupied with the after-war effects, Tymas granted access to all medical supplies necessary to cure the Republic, but not medical technologies. This was not enough, by the time King Tomaka returned with approximately 10,000 units, a full cargo bay, of medical supplies, the diseases had spread throughout the Republic, every sector, system and planet was infected. The medical supplies obtained were not even enough to cure the homesystem indefinitely.

King Tomaka became desperate, he travelled out to other empires, in an attempt to annex them and obtain any medical technologies to save his people. After a week of traversing wormholes, he lost his way, and had to fly through normal space back to the Republic. By the time he returned, he had lost all communication with the Homeworld. The entire system was silent. All outlying sectors were silent also. The only systems remaining was a single Ringworld on the verge of eradication.

In the hopes of preserving the Republic, he commissioned the construction of several Ark vessels, filling them with materials and survivors of the illness, who had fought off the disease and became immune. His daughter, Tarish Alican, was one such survivor. He abdicated his throne to Tarish Alican, and as his last order, ordered the Ark vessel to leave the sector.

Sensor logs indicate a large detonation on the surface of the Ringworld as the Ark vessel left the trough, the city present on the Ringworld was destroyed, along with all pathogens.

Era of Renewal

A year and a half on from the downfall of the Republic, Tarish Alican, now High Queen of the Republic, landed the Ark ships on a planet with a suitable atmosphere, orbiting a binary Blue Supergiant, Blue giant system, and ordered the immediate reconstruction of the empire. Having brought with her several high technology discs, the Empire was soon re-established in the system of Crescellia Prime, and planned colonisation was immediately ordered of the entire system. Settling on the worlds with the best resources available.

At this point, the Republic spanned one system, and 3 planets and a moon, with approximately 2,000 citizens under its rule.

Historic Characters

King Kora Tomaka - Founder of the Republic of Crescellia, and first King of the Republic. It was during his reign that the Empire rose to great heights, and crumbled into oblivion. His greatest achievement was the construction of an Ark vessel, sending several survivors, enough to safely repopulate the empire, and resources, as well as technologies with it. His daughter, Tarish Alican, was aboard the vessel, where she was crowned High Queen.

High Queen Tarish Alican - Daughter of the first King, she was a child during the rise and fall of the Empire. Ascending the throne at age 17, it was under her guidance that the Republic resettle on the new planet, after a year travelling the stars as nomads searching for a new home. She was the reigning Monarch.
