---History---
Founding: March 26th, 2166
Brief History: By 2166, humanity had spread out beyond Earth, into the vast emptiness of interstellar space. However, there was no law and order. Space travel was dangerous, more from fellow humans than from normal hazards. The representatives of the various governments of Earth, as well as the few planets close enough to make it safely devised a solution: A single government for all human worlds. March 26th, 2166, the Solarian Empire was formed, led by an emperor and his Council, the Imperial Senate composed of representatives of the people to keep the Monarchy in check. The few worlds in the area became the Core Systems and began building small, basic ships with weapons, to escort the couriers with the news. The outlying colonies flocked to the banner of the Empire.
In 3569, Mars was the site of a large, anti-Council rebellion, instigated by the Barsoomian Free Miners Association (BFMA) and the Spear of the Dragon. They killed the Planetary Governor and began a series of skirmishes, intent on kicking the Empire off Mars, though they were eventually put down after 21 years, the major leader of which vanished. This had a good effect, however. The Empire began holding elections for Planetary Mayors positions, as opposed to appointing Governors. Eventually, the Empire grew to the point where there was a distinct gap in the economic and technological base of colonies. Thus, the Shell was established in 3178. Almost immediately, a criminal group cropped up, the Corsairs. Unlike others, they were organized and seemed to pop out of nowhere. 500 years later, the Rogues began operating in the Core, but the now blooded Navy was able to protect the Core Systems, as well as the budding Shell. It was at this point the Core Systems grew to the present size and colonies began cropping up, independent of the Empire. In 3680, Cardamine made its first appearance on a small frontier world and the Outcasts became a major criminal group. In 3967, the Verge was established to further mark the gap between colonies, as the Verge was mostly independent worlds, the Navy keeping a presence there, wanted or not. This caused the Red Hessians, an anti-Solarian mob-type group to form to form.
In 4657, a major event in human history took place: The creation of an Artificial Intelligence, which sparked a massive ethics debate that result in strict secrecy involving the creation of AI, as well as the first AI being granted personhood, giving her all the rights of a Solarian citizen.April 2nd, 4676, His Imperial Majesty Randolph Gerhardt Guylos I, was found dead in his office, food lodged in his throat. A day later, his son, 18 year old Rudolph Gerhardt Guylos, was crowned Emperor and the Council took up the role of governing until Rudolph reached maturity.
