((yay another nation restart... great another dead nation brought back from the dead))
Flash! A ship burst into view from seemingly nowhere in a short lived, yet brilliant, flash of light. The ship had a name engraved on its side. It was a relatively small name requiring magnification to see from any distance, but once magnified one could easily read the name, or perhaps better called desegnation, "XS-EFTDD-01" (experimental ship, enhanced fusion Destroyer [Father than light] travel- ship 1) The ship's rear dive, a pulse fusion dive, one of the cheapest types, roared to life as the ship moved into the system.

The system of Firehelper is a large system comprised of 12 planets, one inner asteroid belt containing two dwarf planets and an outer accretion ring containing another 12 dwarf planets.
History from SA 0 (space ascension colander)
Year 0 (technology 1970-75) is the year that the first manned flight into space occurred. This event, while notable in itself, is also notable that it set the nation of Firehelper as the leading nation in the world. Firehelper was around three years ahead of every other nation in the world in space technology for this was the sole effort of the nation for a decade. However, it lacked in other areas of technology.
The efforts of the nation in controling space were successful as Firehelper quickly lead in areas of meteorology and also gained a near monopoly in global communications as its satellites broadcasted signals all over the world. The main gain from space though was space based nuclear weapons. These hidden silos were unreachable from the earth and with these firehelper effectively dominated the world. Also in space was the foundation of what has now become the Planetary, space defence net, a then state of the art chemical laser system that was able to destroy any ICBM anywhere in the world at its launch.
SA 2, the fourth world war, Firehelper, already a world superpower after the third world war (one of four), declared war on the other three blocs. The war was quick and brutal. The other three blocs responded with ICBMS directed at space and Firehelper itself along with its allies. However, what was then called the strategic defence net, worked to destroy all ICBMs, and it succeeded in this task. There was not one missile that exploded. With the end of the stratigic arsenal of all nations in the world other than that which was contained in space and in firehelper, Firehelper now had control over these weapons of mass destruction. The goal of Firehelper was to take over the world and reutilize it in an effort to reach the starts, a vision of its leader. To this end the world had to be taken mostly intact.
enemy command centers fell as large, dense rods made up of a superheavy element known only to history as naquadah fell and detonated in what could be called a small nuclear explosion detonating and destroying the major opposing command centers in the world. Followed by this all regional commands were cut off from the capitals of their respective nations and thus formed small, incohesive units. Taking control of the confusion the Firehelper army lanced out and took one by one each of these areas. Within three years all of the nations fell and Firehelper annexed the world, even its allies.
SA 63 (technology, 2030)
The world, now called Firehelper III, was effectively "green" it was powered almost entirely by renewable means, that being Fusion, and solar satellites in space. Transportation was achieved by the burning of hydrogen. the original goal of the leader was still in place and people worked on setting up colonies on the moon and on the other terrestrial planets. The technology was not avalable 63 years after the end of the age where man was limited to earth. However, these technologies were still too expensive to be implemented with rocket boosters and two massive projects were started. The first was a network of "spaceports" from which things could be launched from mass drivers and the other was a network of "space elevators" The space elevators would be more useful in the end but the spaceports would be built sooner. However, it would take 22 more years before the first opened.
SA 85 (technology 2100+)
The world was rapidly expanding both in population and decreasing in room. The large proliferation of cities has caused the expansion of land into the sea and even the construction of the first "domed cities" under the ocean. It was projected that with the advent of inexpensive space travel space would no longer be a problem. Indeed, during this year projects to colonize three planets and their moons were authorized. The first goal would be the moon of firehelper III. The moon was easily reached and robots quickly created a modular colony network in a crater on the moon. In another 20 years the population of the moon reached 100,000.
Also during these 20 years mining companies now focused on the near inexhaustible resources located in the asteroid belt. The first asteroids were brought into orbit around Firehelper III and they were slowly converted by recently developed assembler nanobots. The material was sent to the Lagrange points. At these points numerous space colonies were under construction and would be used to house millions from earth.
SA 185 (technology 2???)
It would take 100 years for the complete colonization of the solar system. The last three terrestrial planets were terraformed, but the closes to the sun, a airless rock, was made into the primary energy center for the system, a anti-matter creator. Using the power of the sun, antimatter was created and used as fuel for the government ships in the system (all others, and even many government ships, used the easier to maintain naquadah enhanced fusion reactors). The system was basically as it was now. Way stations dotted the system at Lagrange points. Colonies were located at the Lagrange points around planets. The system had a large military presence in it to deter pirates. One thing set apart this year from all others, the discovery of a rudimentary FTL system. This, still classified, system is the jumpgate network. These “jumpgates” encased ships traveling within “lanes” in a partly sustained FTL field. Any object inside would be propelled to around 10x the speed of light. This system enabled ships to move with stunning speed across the system. However, the disruption of these FTL field generator/ sustainers also attracted pirates which caused another increase in military strength. Now the system, planets maintained by the current model of nanobot, the IX-113A, and order maintained by the military exists.
The current year is SA 211. Following the discovery of a more advanced, self contained FTL drive system which operated on an entirely different principle, the [censor], the government is now constructing a fleet to colonize the nearby system of Negara.

(and thats the end of my pre-history)
The large fleet gathered at the edge of the system. Contained within were numerous military ships, powered by the volatile anti-matter reactors, and civilian ships. The larger ships were each custom made, given to captains who proved worthy by the government’s classified nanobot dry-dock facility around the dwarf planet Sigma Iota. There were two carriers. These carriers were called the FNS Intrepid and the FNS Continuing Sun . they carried numerous drone fighters. There also were three battleships, eight cruisers, 20 destroyers, and around 50 frigates and other escort craft. All these ships formed a shell around the central 50 civilian ships, whose size varied according to what they carried (from nanobot- terraformers to seed and animals).
While many of the smaller ships had a bulky look with hard angles, blocky shapes, and a lack of paint, the larger ships were sleek and carried a sense of magnificence. Each was identifiable by shape and each shape could have been carried over from the last ship which bore the ship’s name. Names and shape marked the prestige of each ship and the record of battle was carried over from old ships. The intrepid was the oldest in this tradition. Its name came from a ship of the line. In its battle record were numerous sunk wooden ships, downed fighters, sunk carriers, along with the battles won on sea and in space. Now it was a carrier which lead the fleet. With one signal flare the ships all activated their drives. They headed into the great abyss which was space.

The large 132 ship fleet emerged in the system. The fleet was the pride of the empire and they would expand the empire into a new frontier.
