Tarrenn

The World of Tarrenn is a secluded place on the sparsely populated fringes of the Milky Way Galaxy, and as such, its inhabitants evolved alone, unfettered and with a wonder for all that lay before them.
Known Tarrenn history stretches back over thousands of years, From the First Settler Farmer's of the Vorgan River Peninsula, To the ancient wars of the emperors. Surprisingly, Most is well documented and today is secreted away in the archives that have prospered with such knowledge.
Tarrenn history has been marked by peace, war, prosperity, disparity, and many other things besides. This document only hopes to make you aware of this fact before going into its main purpose, To document recent events in my own words - And whilst I suspect no-one shall ever get the chance to read this, I feel compelled as a Archivist, to write this, nonetheless.
The Current Year is, By the Raledonian Imperial Calender, The Commonly Accepted Dating System across Tarrenn, 2265. Whilst I do not know what secret behind the scenes actions began this entire turn of events, I do know that the first echoes of misfortune and despair began 5 years ago, in 2260, With the Launch of the Trinity, The newest in a line of "ferry" ships that had been shipping people and resources to Carona, Our terrestrial moon.
The whole affair was silly, Whilst the NUG (Network of United Governments), allowed anyone to participate in the process, dispatching people and equipment from member nations in our colonisation attempt, Rumblings of "Non-control" "Discrimination" and "Another Southern Attempt to take resources" and other such things began to come from the Nations in the Northern Hemisphere of Tarrenn - Whilst now, By modern standards, they had become the most advanced and hard working nations on the planet - They had all, at some time or another, suffered during the Imperial times of our Southern Nations, and the grudge just seemed to refuse to die, Even with the NUG's attempts to unify world powers in an attempt to.. just do something else.
Needless to say, The situation spiralled out of control. Within 3 Years, Many of the Northern Nations, and indeed, some of the less wealthy southern nations had banded together in yet another "Pact" - Determined for a bigger say in the Colonisation attempts, not to mention far more control over NUG affairs, some would say going as far as to ask for total control of the organisation, and therefore, Most of Tarrenn.
By 2654, The Northern "Tri-Star" Pact, (Symbolised by Three Stars, representing our three suns, And even, The three most powerful members of the new "alliance") had consolidated its hold on its assets and had frozen the colonisation program, effectively derailing the process and trapping thousands of workers on Carona - Of course, the colonists wanted to stay and could survive, but the workers had families, but I digress.
Tensions continued to rise, and unfortunately, many nations on this world possess the ultimate tier of weaponry. Many of us who survived do not remember why, when.. or even how. But all that we do know is war broke out.. somehow.
Within the first day of this war, Billions were dead, and the most prestigious cities on the planet had been reduced to rubble. The Majority of our orbital systems were in ruin, and our ferry ships destroyed by the small amount of armed space capability the nations of our planet possessed.
I am now sat in my home, in the Centre of the City of Talesh, Capital of the Former Nation of Vorgan, Yes, not original, but history has its way. Surprisingly my home survived, but many buildings have not, and the city is just a ruined echo of what it once was. And I am dying. Simply from the wounds I have sustained from surviving such an event. There is very little coming through on the Radio, but my earlier comments stem from what I have learned through it.
Even though the world is in Ruins, all parties involved, surprisingly, have enough troops to think waging a war over what is left, is viable. The NUG and Tri-Star armies are currently waging war mere miles from Talesh, and I presume many other cities across the planet.
This was a senseless war, and I feel it may yet doom Tarrenn and its once great history to nothing. If .. if, we survive this event.. We will have much to learn. More history for the archives, if they have survived. But this is a terrible lesson at too much of a cost.
I hope whoever, if anyone, reads this, is doing so in a future far from now, where silly conflicts such as what was, do not envelop into species threatening total war......

OOC: Ok, Firstly, Hi! And Secondly, What I want! Basically, I would, of course, prefer it, if a covert team or somesuch had just come down to the planet in its current state and read that document.. but I spose they could come down, not so covert, get in a fight or something, go to that building, read it .. whatever, and go on from there. All else I ask is that not too many people show up :) I dont want to get confused! I hope to take this somewhere good..
Thanks.
