Five Civilized Nations

(OOC: This is supposed to be my puppet, the Mahogany Duchy of House Ecaz, but for some odd reason, I can't access the forums with my puppet. Anyways...)
IC:
The Eridan System, located in the massive Virgo Supercluster, was the home of the Mahogany Duchy of House Ecaz, the closest former Five Civilized Nations colony to the Sol System and Terra, the homeworld of humans. Most of the six planets orbiting the Eridan star were uninhabitable, unsuitable to human life. The sole inhabitable planet, named Eridan Six, the farthest planet, was a tiny world, about the size of Mercury in the Sol System. And yet, the nation of House Ecaz flourished. Free from oppressive rule of the Star Realm of the Five Civilized Nations, House Ecaz began a burgoening trade with its neighbors, the three other former colonies of the Five Civilized Nations with Eridan Six's diverse plant life, creating a virtual monopoly as Eridan Six was the sole source of a vaccine for one of the most horrendous wasting disease ever to exist.
With such a strong source of wealth, House Ecaz built one of the biggest and most formidable mercenary forces, one able to annilihate virtually every attempt by the Five Civilized Nations to retake the Eridan System. Thus, House Ecaz survived for many years.
In the 15th year of independence, the Mahogany Duchy finally made contact with the Sol System, finding new markets for its plants, but gaining many an enemy...
It turned out that one of these enemies was one of Klonor breakaway states, the Draconian-Rossian Alliance. In an assault that caught the House Ecaz Naval Space Forces by surprise, destroying a Meteor Mark XII Class Assault Frigate and damaging numerous other vessels. Although the assault had been beaten back with the overwhelming firepower of nearly a thousand warships and a massive planetary defense cannon, House Ecaz was never again the same.
Aware that their relative isolation was hurting them, the Mahogany Duchy of House Ecaz began a program of scientific research, accelerating its ship and weaponry development, preparing for future conflicts. Although, the years passed since Draconian-Rossian Alliance's treacherous assault, House Ecaz had not forgotten what had happened and continuously planned to avenge itself.
Within two months of the attack, Flag Admiral Dack Archile had prepared a special task force to study Klonor and attack them at their vulnerable points. After several years of study, it was concluded that Klonor was at its weakest in its interstellar trade. After consulting with the Archduke, it was decided to target Klonor's weakness and launch piratical assaults against Klonorian shipping...
