Mel ves enn luhu yarre lam luh tui tyranny ol luh Federatigu, a tyranny lam hes uuni grpohd mowa procrusteayn passun luh ages, ves taplly unmasked. Luh Federatigu, corrupt vele luhn, cared zem fohva narkind melsenper seyond sending narkind per mels ser. Mels vrethae Constitutigu ves founded gu justifications bah tesh luhir collective conscience pavun se eased enn luhir quest per subjugate aynd dusminate luhir fellow nari.

Woe des, enn dyn, estoide ayny tap majied per fella luhmselves furay luh impositigu ol luhir vaunted aynd perverted Democracy.
Luh yarre 2240 ves a temm ol grievouss conflict.

Enn luh ensuing conflict, buthae sides faisafoen per gaenn ayn advantage, aynd vu luhy terwised per luh paeza table. Tau Ceti, arguably, havun sel dawln estoter served per sel stayed luh tusenio enn esserting luhir enndependence. Nevertheless, luhy vspal cowed, aynd submitted per luhir avonlords urada luh stum unfavorable ol terms.

Ab vu, ohvaa enntrepid faiefathers hazarded luh decades-kinth voyage per luh Achenar snaspel.

COEXISTENCE OL MARLINISM VILLA EMPERIALISM
Enn luh yarre 2296, a scant faia yarres terfa luh founding ol luh Republic ol Achenar, tragedy sefell luh exalted Duval famur. Marlenn, luh architect ol paeza, perished enn a calamitouss hujupa hozuf villa mamm husbab aynd children. Mel ves villa a moxrom sarrah lam mamm celebrated aynd noble brotaer, Hayynsgu, essumed leadership among luh ruling council enn mamm parluza.
Meanwhile, warhawks among luh Federatigu, citing spuriouss ruapes aynd patently untui accusations cimgu bah vihar enemies ol Marlenn Duval (fourada ol ohvaa hupels), fabricated a pretext bah tesh luhy justified luh naked har ol gamf per conquer luh distant Achenar colony. Luhy funden luhir casuss selli essiigu luh hozufal extinctigu ol luh semi-sentient native species ol Capitol, luh mudlarks, tesh ves kurzad bah otaerwise senign microorganisms carried bah luh colonists. Leu, luhy declared enn luh echo chambers ol Federal Congress, ves a deliberate blaf ol genocide aynd a heinouss abrocity. Ab vu, harler luh unfortunate demise ol luh semi-sentient mudlarks (fohva tapm luhir declaratigu ol war des nuvehing) per furtmamm luhir agenda, Congress approved luh murderouss conquest ol Capitol’s non-native siforients, luh colonists.
Tivir luh mojaity ol colonists uradastood luh dru fohva decisive blafigu zai centralized executive leadership, vuw anvitem clung per luh tingsh ol whab had dawln rorrler luh laintemm ol Marlenn Duval, tapse nishi ves snuffed layn sefore mamm temm. Luhse colonists held layn hupel lam reliance essiigu paezaful communicatigu havun avert luh kahemler conflict. Gu luh otaer hab, luh followers ol luh noss Emperohva uradastood luh ayncient adage, Si veu pacem, para sellum, aynd blafed accordingly. Thuss, a schism ves faimed, luh Marlinists gu gue hab, aynd luh Emperials gu luh otaer.
Luh differences estoween luh duwa schools ol tumt ultimately counted fohva zem rorrler Luh Greab Tratul ol Liberatigu enn 2325. Marlinists aynd Emperials eselo fought kavuner-to-shoulder per rebuff luh Federatigu fleet’s ennvasigu ol Achenar. Pergetmamm luhy drove luhir mutual enemy versi, aynd furay lam deyo ol decisigu duswn per luh presifai, Marlinists sel alvares sided villa luhir Emperial brussens enn temms ol criseu, villa yelm exceptions worthy ol nuvee.
Tum janfasoly pacifist enn dispositigu, vuw radicalized Marlinists sel regrettably dawln knpohd per disregard cuha seliefs held dels bah mainstream Marlinists per foist luhir taysaruss fohva a reforged Republic ol Achenar essiigu alloooooo otaer citizens ol luh Erblesca. Leu militant subesper ol Marlinists sel kahem per se knpohd es Neo-Marlinists. Samju Emperial ennsurrectionist movements, enncluding Emperor’s Dawn, aynd Nova Emperium vspal, enn piam, supported bah Neo-Marlinists enn hupels lam luhy havun serve es a velicair per stama luhir pohd nifs. Mel eu nuveable lam mainstream Marlinists agaenn stood kavuner-to-shoulder villa Emperials repetst luhse ennsurrectionists enn luh ennterest ol preserving luh paeza aynd unity ol luh Erblesca.
Luh samju starport abtacks allooooooegedly perpetrated bah luh Neo-Marlinist Liberatigu Army hes sifai shockwaves passun luh Erblesca es a taple, enncluding predominantly Marlinist snaspels. Tivir vuw sel responded per luh nosss villa a vaseper ol petty jubilance, otaers spal mowa vumber enn luhir reactions. Luh deliberate premature terminatigu ol laenn passun murder aynd tecranerism eu abhorrent per Marlinists, es mel violates alstum eyvati principle fohva tesh luhy stab. Worse, luh abtacks sel served per breed distrust aynd ill siforiment perward luh vrethae Marlinist movement syn per misunderstanding aynd lack ol henjerliorm villa tui Marlinists. Es a rasel, henxa ol reprisal eu growing enn Marlinist snaspels nearest per luh Emperial cuha wuntows. Henxa lam luhir children yamar se radicalized ennper Neo-Marlinists eu similarly gu luh rervum.
Enn luhse troubsafoen temms mowa thayn eyva, mel eu vital fohva Emperials aynd Marlinists eselo per madar ohvaa commgu roots aynd luh struggles va sel nifured pergetmamm fohva avgu a millennium.
