Void Republic

The Void Republic was created in 3562 BBY, shortly after the Treaty of Coruscant. The founder of it, Tyros Vulpes, created it after his homeworld was one of those that had to be given up to the Sith. He gathered up everyone on the planet and took them to the Unknown Regions. This event was isolated, and no one heard from them again until the Galactic Civil War, when the Empire took over their planet and forced them off.

History
Tyros Vulpes was present at Coruscant at the time of the Treaty of Coruscant, also being present for the Sacking of Coruscant. He was there for trading the many goods his planet produces, and did not expect the sudden attack like the other trillions of citizens. During the attack he barely escaped in his freighter, the Helska Heraklon-Class Transport, being almost destroyed by the many Sith ships in orbit.

Once he have returned to his home planet, Dothor, his family and locals have told him of the great disaster that has happened. Dothor is one of the many planets that the Sith wanted in their treaty. Tyros and his family, using the massive communications tower on Dothor, called out for civilians to evacuate the planet and follow the Helska. Sadly, only 10,000 citizens of Dothor heard the message and responded, which was only 0.0003% of the population. The others were condemned to be slaves of the Sith.

They escaped to the Unknown Regions to a planet called Morcanth. However, 3,000 people died trying to reach the planet as 3 separate alien races clashed to take control of it. The ones who did make it were assigned to quickly dig underground caves to provide shelter from the war above. In almost a week, the underground caves were completed and ships were turned into homes. 1,000 more people died during the construction, most to the bombardments that can take place from the alien ships.

The people knew they could not stay forever so mining began to produce all new ships and get enough fuel to go to a new planet. Using outdated mining equipment, ranging from simple pickaxes to Hyperspace War era mining lasers, they mined enough to get out safely with minimum casualties from alien attacks. It took a year to get enough fuel and resources to build and refuel ships. When it was done, Tyros has decided on where to go. The planet Dreighton in the outer rim was uninhabited except for locals who are still stuck in the Stone Age.

The attempt to get out took all of the ships they had. They split into 3 groups. The first group was made of mostly elders who knew they were just cannon fodder for the aliens. They knew that but they still did it, saving hundreds of potential deaths. The second group was the largest, these people would hyperspace away while the cannon fodder protected them. The third group would blow up the cave system and help anyone who managed to eject before their ship exploded.

The plan was great, but ultimately they were outmatched. The cannon fodder did not last long, in less than a minute they were pulverized, this was not expected. 3,000 of the 6,000 people have already hyperspace away, but the others found themselves trapped as the alien forces surrounded them and destroyed them one by one. The third group exited out, the explosion of the cave disappearing as they went up into orbit. They found their selves in the same situations as the others. In an effort to save the people, the leader of the third group, Vorin Acker, commanded his 200 ships to engage the alien ships. This bought time for the remaindents of second group to escape, saving more lives. Vorin Acker and his fellow pilots did not survive except for one, Yuon Eik. He lived to tell the story and would not know it yet, but will solve the biggest problem in habiting Dreighton.

As they hyperspace into Dreighton, they found the wreckage of a huge battle between the Republic and Sith forces. The unexpected debris sent most of the ships into panicked, as they were large and unable to dodge the wreckage. One of the ships caught in this was the Helska, instantly killing the parents of Tyros as wreckage bombarded the starboard side of the hull. Other ships rushed to rescue Tyros. However, in this chaos 3 ships were lost by ramming into each other, trying to rescue Tyros. He was later rescued by the civilian ship Hector, found almost dead due to the life support system failing. Even with the wreckage, most of the ships made it safely down to the surface unshaved.

Now with only 4,200 people remaining, 1,000 being killed by the alien onslaught, another 800 being killed by the wreckage above, most of those being larger ships, the 3,000 ships touches down in the grassy plain. They have made it safely out of the alien onslaught, the wreckage, but now they have the face the harsh realizations of a desert planet. Tyros Vulpes, in the ship Hector, landed away from the others and in one of the many small towns of the stone-age natives. This would trigger a deadly war between them and the settlers.

The meeting was not very pleasant, at first the natives thought they were demons, due to the exhaust that poisons their lungs that are not used to this kind of atmosphere. Over the years as the settlers grew, they later named themselves the Void Republic, due to them being isolated from the rest of the galaxy. The atmosphere started to be covered in Co2, a larger amount than what the locals are used to, and it starts to poison them. This action done by the Void Republic, the factories that the natives called ‘Hell’, triggered the Smog War.

The natives, at 3557 BBY, held the first attack on the capital city of Horun. The Void Republic was ill prepared, they were not ready for the primitive but efficient tactics used by the natives. They traveled by night in their specially made camouflage that blended into the ground perfectly. Using ropes and ladders they climbed up the walls and stormed into the city. As the guards mobilized, they have already killed 20% of the civilians, which is 10,000 people. The guards drove them back easily though, but the first attack still horrified them. After that day thermal sensors has been added to the walls.

Several other battles took place, all of them are Void Republic victories with minimal casualties. However, at 3556 BBY, the natives have captured and learned how to use vehicles and the weapons, and the tide of the war turned.

In the year 3534 BBY, the natives have assembled a massive armed force. 1 million of them assembled by the capital city, 20% with Lanam LR-II Rifles and they even had 53 Valor-Class Patrol Tanks. The 25,000 guards were no match for the massive force. They called all men to hand, civilians armed with weapons and even kids piloting the reserve vehicles. As the force of 55,000 men assembled on the wall and 1,000 vehicles behind them they stood tall. In the end the Void Republic won. The natives didn’t know proper military strategies to use the vehicles or weapons right. They got their selves caught in friendly fire sometimes. But only 4,000 guards were left at the end, and 70% of the city was destroyed with 300,000 civilians dead and even more wounded, this battle was the last major attack of the natives.

In the year 3531 BBY, repairs to the city were completed and a force was assembled to steamroll the natives. 10 million people were assembled, supported by 320,000 vehicles and 7,000 ships, in just 3 years the natives were driven nearly to extinction. Only 10,000 of them were left. Yuon Eik bravely stepped into the crossfire, stopping it for the moment. He influenced both forces to stop and meet at the capital.

In the year 3528 BBY, the Smog War was over. The 10,000 natives were allowed to go free. The factories were equipped with pollution controllers, in one year bringing the atmosphere back to where the natives could breath. This taught the Void Republic much and several heroes arise.

In the year 3428, BBY, after enjoying a century of peace, people seeked to expand. The results from the Smog War was not only peace, but the conflict has turned most of the planet into a waste less desert. The natives also agreed to this, not adjusting well to the new lifestyle. They have also joined the Void Republic by this time, after needing aid to adjust. At the Meeting of 3, the 3 leaders of the Void Republic, Tyros Vulpes, the Commander in Chief and leader of the Void Republic, Loek Eik, the son of Yuon Eik and the Commander of Foreign Relations, and Revwas Tyros, the son of one of the original natives and the Commander of Foreign Aid, met together and decided on a new planet to settle. The result was moving to Dantooine,

Currently Dantooine was independent, and had its own security force but did receive help from the Republic at times. Their security force in space was made up of aging Valor-Class Cruisers and Liberator-Class Fighters. The Void Republic Military was made up of similar ships. They used the wreckage of the space battle above their planet for supplies and blueprints. With those, they created 26 Valor-Class Cruisers serving as the Meat Ships, 9 Harrower-Class Dreadnaughts serving as the Command Ships, 21 Hammerhead-Class Cruisers serving as Assault Ships, 75 Thranta-Class Corvettes serving as Anti-Fighter ships, 123 Wanderer-Class Transports serving as Support Ships, 1553 PT-7 Fighters serving as Bombers, 5000 Rendaran-Class Assault Shuttles serving as Shuttles, and 5017 Liberator-Class Fighters serving as Fighters. All of them would be taken into battle, and each ship would release shuttles loaded with troops or a single Valor-Class Patrol Tank.

As the thousands of ships exit hyperspace, the Battle of Dantooine begins. Without warning, they release all the fighters, bombers, and shuttles and began the attack. They strike at the main station, attracting forces from all over the planet to the large fleet. The forces on the ground find themselves attacked as 5000 shuttles touch down on the planet surface, 500,000 men are released with the support of 10,000 Valor Tanks. The security force of Dantooine took heavy casualties on the initial assault but got back on its feet and fought. In the end their ships were destroyed, the capital and other major cities were taken over. This caused them to surrender, after 5 million people have died and 10,000 ships destroyed.

The news reached both the Sith and Republic, none interfered due to the leader of Dantooine himself signing that treaty that handed over the planet to the Void Empire. Billions of people come over from Dreighton to Dantooine, but a problem was quickly encountered. There was not enough space. To fix this hundreds of large stations were built in orbit as houses. This left space on the surface of the planet for enough farms to feed everyone. This decision was made by Loek Eik and Revwas Tyros, gaining them political support in the Void Republic for the upcoming election.

The Void Republic saw peace and growth until the Galactic Civil War. Between that time several technological advances were made. These include the Valor-Class Worldship, a large ship capable of transporting colonist to distant worlds. This also saw the development of the Rail gun which was used to great effect when the Second Battle of Dantooine took place.

The Void Republic was forced off of Dreighton and Dantooine in the Galactic Civil War by the Empire. This saw the first real use of the Worldships. These massive ships loaded as many civilians it could hold and the Void Republic became nomads until the Intergalactic Civil War.

Once the Galactic Civil War ended and the Empire dissolved, the Void Republic went in search of a planet again. Tyros Vulpes, still alive due to a mutation in his genetic code, chose Serenno as the next planet. It has been abandoned since the infamous Count Dooku has been there. They quickly settled on the planet.

And the saga shall continue.
