The Celestial Empire Universe
Celestial Empires Takes place somewhere in our galaxy at an unknown time. An interstellar sleeper convoy was in transit. A skeletal transit crew was to keep the ships operating and monitor the convoy’s transit, the rest were in a deep sleep to awaken at their destination. Something went wrong. People emerged from their sleep in wreckage and chaos. This is known to as Awakening Day.
Most of the known convoy survivors crashed into what became the new sol system. A few groups ended up in other systems, but the outcome of most is unknown. The transit crews seemed to encounter some sort of attack or storm depending on sources. The storm or attacks wreaked havoc on the ships and systems. Various measures were taken depending on the ship. Records are very sparse due to the damage, but coordinated effort was taken and course was adjusted as they battled the storm. No known transit crews survived.
The survivors had to survive, coordinate, and prosper. In the New Sol System, New sol became the new home world. Humans were renamed Terrans to designate their new origin and difference. Nobody knows their exact location or what the real date is. IT is assumed they are towards the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, but nothing is familiar.
The New Sol System War was the first big conflict and it changed everything. The core planets, moons, and stations were accused of feeding off of the resource rich outer asteroid residents. The raw outer resources were often traded for inner system food and commodities. The voices of the outer “Belters” as they became known as, seemed to not matter. Trades became more and more once sided. basic needs were not met, and the Belters turned to raiding to survive.
Eventually an all out inner vs outer system war erupted and everyone suffered. Desperation ensued as two groups that needed essential products from each other, stopped the exchange. One fanatical leader used a highly experimental weapon to threaten the populations of New Sol. In their exchanges tempers got heated and the weapon was used. Everything stopped in horror as the weapon impacted on New Sol.
The Weapon was a “Chain Matter Destroyer” style weapon. It was used on asteroid and objects in space absolutely devastating those objects. It ignites matter and as long as other matter is present, it was thought to continue it’s destruction. It was not fully understood how devastating it could be. Once it hit New Sol, it was a rush against time to get everything and anything off of the planet.
The result was the unifying action needed to re unite Terrans in the most wrong way possible. There was no longer a large population in the sector. There was very finite resources available now. Everyone had to band together in order to survive. Remembrance Station was constructed over New Sol from whatever was available and became the new capital. Those responsible for the atrocity were exiled away, an unpopular action. Those who were exiled became the Free Terran Domain a few hundred years later.
As time went on Terrans were forced to expand and find suitable planets to build large population centers. Warlords took over what few resources were available and again Terrans were in trouble. Eventually planets and moons were colonized and as populations increases and resources became plentiful, focus could be put into creating a unifying government to keep citizens safe again.
Hundreds of years later in the year 937, The United Terran Planets in their current form was founded. Remembrance station is still the capital, but a much newer station has been built.
Present day has a several Terran Groups that call the universe their home. Other groups that survived the Interstellar accident also grew and now share borders with each other. They are the Royal Terran Empire, The Collective Terran Republic, The United Terran Planets, and The Free Human Domain.
