The Beginning - Year: 2073
Before the Aggression War of 2097, the planet of Aristides was thriving. Founded by Artemis II after he retired in the Military of Frostaria, the planet was out of resources and was littered with the bones of those who once resided there. Artemis II brought his intergalactic company ArtemisCorps to colonize Aristides, hoping to form a brand new nation under his rule. ArtemisCorps started by creating the colony Rogul. The struggle had begun, as there was no form of agriculture to be found. Food would have to be exported out of ArtemisCorps Headquarters in Frostaria to help the colonists survive the first humid months. ArtemisCorps partnered up with the new company RemTech to plant tons of new seeds into the soil of Aristides. Within weeks, new plants began sprouting as well as new colonies. Artemis II dreamed of a new, unified, reformed planet in which his name would be put into documents, praising him and ArtemisCorps for their work to make the planet habitable again.
News of the brand new planet Aristides began spreading around the Galaxy. Several nations offered help to ArtemisCorps to get a bit of credit once the planet would bloom even more in population, but the CEO declined. He wanted this to be an independent operation, with only RemTech as an ally. Together, the two companies launched Project IAA, or Investigate And Analyze. They found the Aristides Caves, huge beauties that held scrolls and skeletons full of mysteries. The first scroll, dubbed Aristides Scroll Alpha, told a story of the old people of Aristides. A race known as Xaneok invaded the planet and slaughtered all of the residents, with the remaining survivors enduring weeks of torture before being tossed into the cold hands of death like their brethren. Without any weaponry, the Xaneok were easily able to take control of Aristides and it's people within three days. Aristides Scroll Beta explained the torture discovered by the survivors, who found various former friends lifeless. The Scroll held sketches of the victim's bodies. Wounds sustained were various stab marks around the lower thighs, having body parts cut off, and mental abuse.
Artemis II, now 78 at the time of the discovery of the Scrolls, was disgusted. The old residents of this nation had endured the worst kind of treatment. He launched Project FAR, Find And Rescue. ArtemisCorps Jeeps and Airships flew all over Aristides in an attempt to find remaining Aristideans who had somehow fought through the hellish hardships to be alive, while RemTech continued to help the rise of agriculture within the colonies while constructing many new facilities.
Project FAR was a failure as Artemis II, now withering because of age, concluded that there were no alive Aristideans. The entire race had been brutally wiped out sadly. Continuing to work with only RemTech, ArtemisCorps closed the operation and welcomed tourists and new residents from all planets to help the population of Aristides grow. The Aristides Freedom Army was formed as a way to protect the rebooted land from the tyranny of the Xaneok or any other enemy factions/militaries.
Artemis II died on the morning of January 2nd, 2092. The leadership of Aristides and ArtemisCorps would be passed to his son, Joel Artemis, but there was a struggle in the company slowly after Joel took his father's former role.
Joel Artemis and the Council of Aristides began bickering when the Aristides Freedom Army discovered secret transmissions from an unknown planet discussing the "second destruction of Aristides." Joel Artemis insisted that it was the Xaneok and that they should launch a war campaign to combat the returned threat, but the Council Members disagreed. They thought that it was a false threat, as Aristides has begun receiving many lately, although none have been worded like the transmission discovered. Joel Artemis, fed up with the Council, began to launch the campaign nonetheless. The Council began voting for a new CEO and President, explaining that "Joel Artemis is not like his father; Joel Artemis is insane and will put this planet at risk." The campaign was shut down and the tensions between the two leadership bodies would not end until Joel Artemis was finally voted off of his position.
The Council voted that former Council Member Photios Spiridon take the newly-opened positions. He accepted, and the Declaration of Artemis was released. The Document explained that Joel Artemis' deception and suspicions led to his removal and that a new age would be created, under a President that would not go behind the Council's back.
President Spiridon led the planet to many years of glory. The Aristides Freedom Army successfully defended the New Headquarters of ArtemisCorps after a group of radical protesters began using violent methods to express their disagreement on the decision of removing Joel Artemis. The Son of Artemis II disappeared while his name was getting more and more tainted. The Golden Age began as Aristides became more technologically advanced in terms of transportation, weaponry and compounds. Time would pass until the Aggression War of 2097.
Aggression War - Year: 2097
On March 12th, 2097, an unknown race launched an assault on the city of Avlos. The Avlos Battle occurred when the unknown military forces collided with the Aristides Freedom Army on the Avlos Bridge. The Battle, which was broadcasted across the Galaxy, showed the red-and-black armored species using phasers to decimate the AFA in mere hours. The planet was shocked as the unknown attackers grabbed the remaining surviving soldiers and killed them all in the most brutal ways imaginable. The alien species, at the time dubbed The Unknown, invaded every building in Avlos and massacred every Aristidean alive. The rooms of every compound would be painted with the blood and cries of regular citizens. It was an infamous day, and The Unknown disappeared once more Aristides Freedom Army soldiers flooded Avlos.
President Spiridon and the Council announced that there would be war. The Document of Avlos explained that The Unknown was disgraceful and would know the suffering that they gave to the Avlos Citizens. The President, for the first time, called in the Aristides Covert Operations, a division of the Army. The most elite of the Army filled the Covert Ops division, and they were sent to Avlos and it's neighboring cities to ensure that there would be no more bloodshed. ArtemisCorps announced Operation AA, or Avlos Avenged, where they would use every piece of global technology in their arsenal to pinpoint The Unknown's location and destroy them.
Days went by as the so-called Aggression War continued. The Unknown were no where to be found, and the Covert Ops were recalled until ArtemisCorps found the enemy's location. People lived in fear until it struck again. The city of Eslak was invaded by The Unknown, but this time two airships somehow bypassed ArtemisCorps' global technology, went unseen and hovered across the city. The Covert Operations were called immediately, and Eslak's West Citizens were all murdered when The Unknown's airships dropped bombs on them. The phasers that were fired from The Unknown's pistols in the first battle from Avlos were replaced with advanced rifles that overwhelmed the Covert Operations division. The Battle of Eslak ended the same way as the Battle of Avlos ended: a bloody city filled with the corpses of the fallen with The Unknown nowhere to be found once again. Their airships couldn't be seen. Another failure.
The President couldn't believe it. How had The Unknown done it? How did they carry two airships to Eslak? How did they quickly kill all of the Covert Operations division, the most advanced soldiers in Aristides? How? The Council and President consulted. It was leaked that the Council insisted a surrender, to preserve the lives of all remaining Aristideans. The President wanted to continue fighting. He didn't want Aristides to be last known as a weak nation who surrendered. He wanted the planet to fight until it's last breath.
The Aggression War continued. Bloody failure after bloody failure. A tiny breakthrough was found when ArtemisCorps discovered that The Unknown were the Xaneok race, returning to lay siege to the planet they once conquered and abandoned many years ago, but it wouldn't help. Cities fell, people were slaughtered. The Aggression War ended on November 29th, 3002, when President Spiridon and the Council finally surrendered. The Xaneok did not care, though. They continued to slaughter and slaughter, leaving very few survivors and enslaving them. The ArtemisCorps Headquarters was bombed and the Presidential Building, holding the President and the Council, was raided. The President and Council were all murdered viciously in 3002.
Rebellion Age - Year: 3005
The remaining Aristideans, bloodied and in shackles, were sent to the Xaneok planet, called the Xaneon Core, to work as slaves for the remainder of their lives. The duties they were given by the Xaneok included shoveling coal, planting crops and more while they were treated with cruelty with whippings and beatings as punishment.
For two years, the slaves, which were full of Aristideans and several other species and races assaulted by the Xaneok, lived lives of Hell. Many wanted to die, others wanted a life of freedom. The Utopia-like life on Aristides was replaced with a cold, abandoned planet once again, now with a legacy of murder and failure.
On December 19th, 3005, a young man by the name of Alvaxic was being beaten by his Xaneok owner until he defended himself. The slaves watched as the man fought back, grabbed a loose bottle, breaking it and killing the owner. He started the Original Uprising.
Alvaxic and the slaves raided several homes of Xaneok slave owners, killing and freeing the internally imprisoned people. All of them joined the Uprising and together, they molded into a group called Reverek. Reverek, unlike ArtemisCorps, was not about respect. They did not become the nice corporation they were before. Reverek was now a brutal rebellion full of similar people who have gone through the most Hellish conditions and now have their freedom.
Alvaxic and Reverek raided an airship facility after freeing many slaves. They stole a large airship and escaped to Aristides, or what was left of it. Reverek claimed the planet for it's own. Now aware of the Xaneok's tactics and evils, Reverek's two main goals are to rebuild Aristides and free everyone from the conditions of the Xaneok, while maintaining a reputation that would scare other enemies and steer them away from warring Reverek. Reverek's vengeance awaits.
