Year 2154 to 2173
In the year 2154 the Valkem Imperium began aggressive territorial expansion into the outer system around their inner systems. During this two decade conquest of the outer systems the Valkem Imperium orbitally bombarded seven planets until they became barren wastelands unable to sustain any form of life. Two out of seven of those planets were military installations. The other five were a mix of both civilian residency hubs and military facilities but the majority of those worlds were mainly civilian populus. Roughly an estimated death toll of a few hundred million people were killed in total from all the orbital bombardments.

Year 2174
In the year 2174 the Valkem Imperium calmed their aggressive expansion down quite a bit due to a newly formed Federation of multiple Star Nations known as the Kyner Federation.The combined forces of all the Federation members was enough to bring the Valkem Imperium into a stalemate forcing them to halt their aggressive expansion and rethink their tactics. The Valkem Imperium agreed to a truce halting hostilities between the two powers.
