Major Events:Two Decade Expansion War

In the year 2183 the Valkem Authority landed their colony ships on an unclaimed Planet on the edge of their outermost territories. A few months after establishing their colony they came across Kyner Federation colonists in the colony of Blackgate. The Valkem Authority sent in a small armed force of both standard soldiers and marines demanding the colonist leave the planet at once. The colonists refused to abandon their colony to the Valkem Authority and so a skirmish between the Valkem Authority force and Kyner Federation colonists began. Ultimately in the end the colonists were defeated and the Valkem Authority claimed the colony any colonists that were alive after the skirmish were enslaved and forced to work in the volcanic lavascape known as “The Chars”. Unknown the Valkem Authority there was still another Kyner Federation colony which had received news of the skirmish. This became apparent to the Valkem Authority when a small fleet of vessels approached the planet and began to send down troops. The command center at the VA’s colony began to request additional reinforcements from the outer territories. The Valkem Authority forces held out the Kyner Federation assault on their colony until the reinforcements arrived. As the VA fleet entered into the system and made way to the planet the siege became less aggressive as Kyner Federation forces were withdrawing. Soon both fleets clashed in orbit the Valkem Authority fleet diverted one Battlecruiser to the planet to send in more troops to reinforce the colony. It also began to bombard the Kyner Federation positions forcing them to further pull back to their remaining colony. The space battle came to an end once the Kyner Federation lost a few vessels and received heavy damages from the Valkem Authority fleet. They retreated their fleet back into their systems for repair and resupply. The remaining Kyner Federation forces were forced to dig into their current positions and await reinforcements and supplies. The Valkem Authority began to plan their next course of action. Dawning the second war between the Valkem Authority and the Kyner Federation.
