Most people think that era division is just for people to write or read history textbooks. In fact, era division is the ultimate goal of historical research, because different era definition standards can faithfully reflect the basic historical values ​​of this person. In the past, when the scope of human activities was still limited to the single planet Earth, history was simply divided into four eras: prehistoric, ancient, medieval, modern, and modern times can be added. From this basic era division, special classifications in various fields are derived.The era divisions of art history, science and technology history, literary history, and economic history often diverge from general historical definitions, just as the disintegration of a huge empire will not have any impact on sculpture technology and thought.

Taking military history as an example, the biggest change was the invention of gunpowder, but in terms of the evolution of military thought, some people ridiculed: "Since Sun Tzu, there has basically been no progress." The complete emergence of "mechanization and mass production" and "guerrilla tactics" is used as the standard for dividing the era, so the definition of time has become a problem, and it is not easy to draw a conclusion. In terms of political and social historical division, the "Ephemeris" (SY) is used from the year when the base of human social activities moved from the earth to other celestial bodies, and is generally divided into "Earth Era" and "Post-Earth Era".This highlights the fact that the replacement of the "Western Calendar" (AD) by the "Ephemeris" also represents a certain ideological change.

The so-called "Gagalin Calendar" refers to 1961, when Yuri Gokarin made the first space flight in human history, and that year became the dividing point of the era: similarly, there is "Apo "Luo Li", the first year is from 1969 when human beings left footprints on celestial bodies other than the earth for the first time.But U.N. Dewey thinks: "This is just the result of years and years of specific research that has been successful, and the entire human race has not changed in any way." He may be right.After Gokarin and Apollo, Cosmos is a private collection of scientists, and has never been able to become a living space for human beings.

By virtue of the interaction between the tachyon TACIPrcrN and the subluminal TJLBDlrcbN, the artificial speed can finally exceed the speed of light.This research was successfully developed in 2420, and at the same time created an opportunity for the explosive expansion of human society into outer space.Moreover, this theory is almost consistent with the facts, and has become a precious example since the "Industrial Revolution". The era of development was promising, and buzzwords such as "Don't be afraid to fail" and "Go to space first and talk later" were very inspiring.The population continues to increase, forming a pyramid structure.The originally stagnant 50 billion population in the solar system exceeded 100 billion in just 60 years, and reached 150 billion in 2500.During this period, FTL and related technologies have been continuously improved to improve the safety of the human body, and also promote the flow of population to outer space, continuously expanding the geographical area of ​​human society.

Looking at history, the period of political unity of human society is only the first century of the era of the unified government of the earth.After the chaotic confrontation in the 23rd century, Mars and Venus sought independence and achieved equal political status with the earth. Later territorial expansion accelerated the political division. In the most extreme case, as long as a self-made flag is planted on Unmanned Planet to declare independence, it can be regarded as an emerging country.At that time in 2488, the number of countries was as high as more than 10,000, but the life span of many "bubble countries" would not exceed one generation at the longest. By 2509, there were only 806 countries left. It dropped sharply to three thirty-eight.

This year, many systems finally began to operate, and the "Ephemeris" officially replaced the "Western Calendar".No major wars have occurred on Earth. With the decline of economic power, political influence has also been lost. In the middle of 2400, it has become "a member of many small countries." At this time, the common language of the people was "Common Language", and the style of language was still dominated by English in the Western calendar period, but the English grammar was complicated, and the most important thing was the difference in notation and pronunciation.After the improved notation and pronunciation tended to be consistent, the popularity rate was greatly increased, so some people called it "phonetic English".In short, through the promotion of the public language, people can communicate at the most basic level, and the era of the "Interstellar Urban Alliance" is also unfolding at the same time as the ephemeris, which is the early stage of the "Post-Earth Era".

Generally, "Interstellar Urban Alliance" is simply referred to as "Alliance". When common nouns become proper nouns or the situation is reversed, it means that this existence has quite a strong influence, and this occasion is no exception. If you want to explain the concept of city, you must take up a lot of pages. Take the interstellar city alliance as an example. The so-called city is an artificial celestial body with independent political operation functions. Economic activities are mainly industrial and commercial. A metropolitan state that joins the Union through opinion polls.

This alliance was established in the first year of the star calendar. At that time, there were only 14 city-states participating in it. The number increased to 60 in the next year, and as high as 150 in the 30th year of the star calendar.Once urban citizens joined the alliance, they obtained the status of "alliance citizens" and their rights were guaranteed. The alliance is not a country, so there is no capital. All members of the alliance choose a city to hold the general meeting every year. During this period, this city becomes the "alliance representative city".The alliance sets up an office to handle complicated business. The person in charge is called the Chief of Affairs, and the Chief of Affairs is elected by the General Assembly.

To put it bluntly, the chief of the alliance affairs is only the person in charge of all affairs, neither the alliance representative nor the head of state.The task of this position is to be responsible for the preparation and operation of the Alliance General Assembly, the preparation and management of all data and official records, the operation of the office and the formulation of various regulations. The most important task is to collect all the royalties paid by the members of the alliance. If there is any credit, the chief executive will not receive a salary.The cities are quick to give advice, but they are reluctant when they pay, which is no different from the Western era.

"In addition, this alliance does not have a standing army, and each city participating in the alliance has its own urban fleet", implementing different military policies and military orders.When facing a powerful enemy force, the urban planning teams of several countries will join forces and obtain the approval of the General Assembly to call it the "Alliance Fleet". At this time, a commander will be elected. After the war, the Alliance Fleet will also be disbanded. Retire immediately after receiving the bonus, so there is no so-called "Alliance Lieutenant General" and other rank titles.Admiral Philip Oakshaw, who served as Commander of the Union Fleet six times in his life, was formally Admiral of the Harbor City Army.Basically, the commander of the urban fleet is either a lieutenant admiral or a major admiral, and there are also precedents for a small city adjutant officer to serve as the commander. Admiral Oakshaw can be said to enjoy the highest honor and dignity.

Moreover, in order to maintain the economic activities of each member city and citizens, the alliance has specially set up "business halls" in various places in the galaxy circle. The four major business halls of the alliance are set up in the countries of Kafir, Emmanta, Tirun, and Baghuo.For the Interstellar Urban Alliance, the commercial hall is equivalent to the embassy, ​​consulate, commercial representative office, and immigration headquarters. It is an indispensable existence to protect the rights and interests of the entire alliance. All information and materials are collected, distributed and circulated here. Each of the four shops has its own characteristics. Kaffier Business Hall: The curator is an alliance merchant, but there is another position of chief curator, which is held by Kaffire.The chief curator is the liaison between the alliance and Kafir, and it is also the chief curator's task to collect business tax and property tax for the business hall.From the standpoint of the alliance, he sent Kaffir's dignitaries to become the chief curator, let him make money and profit, and also found an obedient spokesperson by the way. Emanta Commercial Hall: Never peddling tricks, people from various cities are free to set up offices, business places, and residences in the city. Unless there are major gatherings, they usually do their own thing.A commercial curator is elected at the assembly held every three years. According to the regulations, the office or residence of this person must provide the liaison office of the commercial hall within three years. Even if the location of the shop is uncertain, the communication channel is quite stable, and the contact point is also very clear.The political and economic situation of Emmental is very stable. Although sparrows are small and complete, they not only have a complete alliance system, but also adhere to freedom and democracy in the system. Therefore, with a local scale, the residents of Emanta can enjoy a mature and rich culture. experience. The business hall funded the establishment of a business school and a trade specialist at Emmenta University. Many students left Emanta after graduation to become merchants in the universe, and many of them became citizens of the Alliance. When it comes to Tirun, the third trading house, the situation is quite different.The hinterland of this trading house is vast, and it is stipulated that the offices and residences of all alliance merchants must be located in the hinterland. Therefore, the small hinterland has gathered enough social capital to form a city. As long as you want to, you can stay in the trading hall for a lifetime without worrying about food and clothing. , but before that, the mental oppression must be overcome. Tirun Huo Planet is rich in underground resources, and the residents have a somewhat closed atmosphere. The concept of not forgetting their roots makes them not have a good impression of the Interstellar Urban Alliance.Alliance merchants also understand that they are excluded from Ganxing society, so they only want to seek short-term benefits in order to leave this place early.Not only are the people of Tilun not giving back their vested interests to the society of Huoxing, unlike the Kafirs;However, Tirun's superior geographical conditions forced the alliance to continue to maintain the operation of the business hall, and Tirun could not ignore the alliance's economic influence, so the business hall survived. The fourth and last trading house, Baghee: The trading house here is located in the most remote frontier in the space field, but the border will continue to expand with human activities, so the area under the jurisdiction of the trading house is still In continuous expansion. Twenty years after the establishment of the business hall, the scope of its jurisdiction has reached as far as one billion light years, and the business circle has included two hundred illusory stars, and if the unoccupied stars are counted, it will be 10,000 times as much.This business house is always at the forefront of human society, and the whole atmosphere is full of almost rough vitality, ambition, adventure, speculation, wildness and independence, which is completely different from the mature urban culture of Emanta.Countless "adventurous businessmen" in the business hall follow the law to obtain funds on the one hand; on the other hand, they have groups that specialize in searching for missing persons. Among them, the most prominent feature of the business hall's activities is the position of "Hustle Star Management Officer". What is a Confused Star Manager? It is the person entrusted by the owner of the planet to be responsible for attracting immigrants to various planets or satellites and promoting development activities. This position has always been held by civilians. To put it bluntly, they are only agents of the government or the lord, not representatives of the residents of Huanxing.Historical facts have proved that the planet where the manager of the planet is located cannot carry out residents' self-government at all, and is usually regarded as a backward area. The manager's income is closely related to the amount of tax revenue of the planet he manages. Once the planet is successfully developed, there will be a generous tax. As long as the manager takes 10% of it to fill his own pockets, he can live a life no different from a prince or noble. The relationship between the Lordless Government and the manager of the confused planet is maintained through a contract, and related matters such as the number of years, remuneration, authority, and identity protection are signed under the witness of the staff of the Bagati Merchant Hall.If one party breaks the contract, it will not only become an enemy of the Baghsu business house, but also the alliance. In addition to the four major trading houses, there are too many commercial and diplomatic bases of the alliance, collectively referred to as "offices".No matter how large the scale is, it cannot be called a business house, which shows the high status of the four major business houses. "In the future, he will be promising either as a president or as a business curator." As the saying goes, the head of the commercial curator is at the apex of the civil status. The "Era of Interstellar City Alliance" continued like this, from the first year of the star calendar to the year 229.Part of the irony is called "the age of science fiction".The definition of science fiction is "the future tense that belongs to the category of creative activities" (A.N. Matthew King).When human beings were actually active in outer space, this term became a general term for general popular entertainment novels, and it also symbolized the era full of vitality and ambition. "Human morality has not evolved at all, only the scope of activities has been expanded." (Leon Foss Daou) This statement is quite harsh, which means that one or two thousand years is not enough for a species to have a spiritual level. Ascension, especially for creatures like humans, takes longer.
In the history of human development, the biggest hostile force of the Urban Alliance is the Vldana Empire. The Merchant Marine Corps of the Alliance has established a superior economic position in the universe through years of hard work, high enthusiasm, and excellent aerospace technology, and the Vldana Empire is an exception. There are constant frictions between the two sides, and the victories and losses are mixed. Generally speaking, the alliance still maintains a seven-to-three advantage.Because the alliance's "space combat capabilities" in terms of ship performance, crew strength, communications, and supplies all surpass the empire. The Verdana Empire is strong and strong, but its economy and military are far less sophisticated than the alliance. To put it bluntly, it is a "well-developed country bumpkin" (M. Sonecroft). If you can lure the alliance army into your own territory, you will definitely win. However, the alliance army who is well versed in this will never attack the imperial army forcefully, but will completely block the empire's trade channels. As a result, the empire responded immediately, gnashing its teeth and requesting the resumption of trade activities.The country was once locked down, but instead it prompted the alliance to improve its aerospace and communication capabilities, resulting in a greater gap in strength between the two sides.Since the enemy only has this weight, the era of the Interstellar Urban Alliance will naturally be immortal. However, the situation changed suddenly in the 228th year of the star calendar, and the Titania family officially left the Interstellar City Alliance. The Titania family was originally a well-established clan in the urban alliance. In the 220th year of the star calendar, the Titania family even included the mayors of ten cities, and fourteen cities led to social, political, After this situation resulted in the powers of the fleet commander, the chairman of the metropolitan alliance general council, and the alliance fleet commander, eight years later the Titania family broke away from the alliance, gave up the rights of citizens of the alliance, and brought all assets and fleets to Vldana. The empire has turned its back. This act of breach of trust has brought a huge impact on the entire human society. The state of economic and military checks and balances has collapsed, and it does not give the impression of precise numerical theory: "The strength of the alliance is halved, and the strength of the empire is doubled." That was how it felt at the time, and the impact on the league was even greater. In this way, the Titania family was listed among the nobles of the Vldana Empire. Because they insisted on granting the territory, they were named "landless vassals". It was so thick that the elders in the court were dumbfounded, and what made them most dumbfounded was Titania's rebellious posture. At that time, Neville Titania, the head of the Titania family, publicly stated from time to time: "Our family is not a subject of the emperor, but an equal ally. Without Titania, there would be no empire. Without the empire, Titania would still be Stand firm." The tone is full of carefree arrogance, even if it is mixed with a little exaggeration, it is no different from the truth, and thus attracts hatred equal to awe.For the Alliance of Interstellar Cities, Titania is an unforgivable betrayer, and even a traitor who succumbed to the autocratic king.For the empire, Titania is a savage upstart who is not a minister, and it is really unacceptable to treat such a shameless person with courtesy. "Drinking the enemy's blood in the cup, there is no majesty in the eyes, the defeated sighs pleasantly, and the victory wine is sold on the lips." This section excerpts the poems written by Titania's first generation vassal Neville according to the ancient rhyme. Even though it does not have any literary value, Titania agrees with such arrogant pride. The sentence "There is no majesty in the eyes" naturally angered the courtiers of the Vldana Empire, and Emperor Harusha II comforted them with a wry smile: "He's just stating the facts. No matter how angry you are, it's useless. Let him talk." If you really want to accuse them face to face, presumably Titania will resolutely become an enemy of the empire, so the courtiers remained silent, because they knew this well. Since it was ensured that the strength of the empire had the upper hand in the interstellar city alliance, the emperor could only smile wryly, but it was impossible for the inferior alliance to laugh it off.Titania's breach of trust is unforgivable, and only an equal or greater blow to the Vldana Empire can restore the Alliance from the shock of losing Titania. In short, all rationality and emotions consolidated the centripetal force of the alliance to fight against Titania together. The entire alliance mobilized, assembled the strongest combat force in history and ignited the war with the empire, and declared: "Our goal is not the empire, but Titania Asia." This strategy to isolate Titania worked, and Titania had to fight the Alliance alone, while Emperor Harushar II secretly prayed that both Titania and the Interstellar City Alliance would suffer. So in the following year, 299, the "Battle of the Brawenwater Star Field" broke out, and the Alliance Army was completely defeated.Neville Titania, as the name suggests, completely annihilated the Alliance army with twice as many troops, and completely defeated the authority of the Alliance. Just one battle brought down the black curtain for the "Alliance Era" where the power was in full swing. Since then, the focus of aerospace history has shifted to the founding history of Titania. The process of establishing hegemony uses both peace and force, and the bloody smell is so cruel that it almost makes the timid and weak retreat.Neville Titania is not afraid of blood and notoriety, and successfully plays a successful egoist in human society. Titania is not the spokesperson of human morality, they are just a group that protects their rights and interests with strength.Everything that harms the interests of Titania is excluded, so they attack and plunder the merchant ships of the Interstellar Urban Alliance, assassinate, exile and purge the important ministers of the anti-Titania forces within the empire. Emperor Harusha II died suddenly at the age of fifty-five. It is said that Titania was instigated behind the scenes, and this rumor was released by Titania. It is hard to imagine how abominable the situation is. Some people think that the successor may not be able to maintain the strength and prosperity of Titania, but Neville's son Noli is a tyrant over his father. Neville, who is known as a monster, criticizes his son disdainfully: "That kid Not my kid, I have no idea what he is." Neville is lustful and alcoholic, and he will feel regret after beheading his subordinates on impulse, at least it is a bit human. And Noli is a paranoid pragmatist who holds numbers and calculations in both hands. No matter what his heart is, he always maintains a rational and calm appearance. He skillfully handles the misjudgments and failures committed by his father in his later years, and continuously improves the strength of Titania. with influence.Although Neville dislikes Noli, he has to admit that he is his successor.In the 269th year of the star calendar, the 76-year-old Neville handed over his leadership position for forty years, and Noli succeeded him as the second-generation vassal king. In the next nine years, Neville lived a bleak and lonely old age. Noli intended to establish his own power, brandished a purge knife internally, killed three younger brothers and two brother-in-laws, and then assisted his father. Among the six cadres, twenty-eight were executed on trumped-up charges, and the family of John Ferrar, who had assisted Neville for nearly half a century, was even wiped out.Ferrar wrote a letter pleading with Neville, hoping to at least keep his young grandchildren alive, but the letter fell into Noli's hands.Noli tore up the pleading letter in front of his sick father, saying Ferrar had finished his sentence.The angry old Neville got up from the hospital bed and tried to catch his son, but jumped off the bed and died of panic. Why did Noli categorically carry out such a cruel method?The mystery will soon be revealed. Not long after Neville Sr. was buried, opponents of Noli's brutal methods began plotting to oust Noli from power. Titania's opposition forces also included important figures from the Empire and the Alliance, forming a huge "Anti-Noli Front". The next year, just before the actual action was ready to go, Noli's ice blade flashed. "This is the real sweep." It is said that Noli said to the secretary at the time. The direct and indirect victims of this bloody suppression were as high as 65,000. As the bodies of his enemies, both internal and external, drown in blood, Noli becomes a veritable dictator. He is as notorious as the devil, but in fact, except for the "Anti-Noli Front", he completely interfered, so he unexpectedly did not attract the hatred of ordinary citizens. His purpose was to establish a set of order by himself. Noli had five sons, each of whom formed a family, so they were called the "Titania Five Families". Only the direct blood relatives of the five families were able to obtain the Dania surname.Moreover, the chairman of the family meeting, that is, the patriarch of the family, is also elected from among the five families.The patriarch can obtain the status of "landless vassal king", and the family enjoys unparalleled power inside and outside as "His Royal Highness the vassal king". Noli established the unshakable strength of Titania, and reorganized the internal system, and then passed through the inheritance of the third generation of Chatelet, the fourth generation of Weir, and the fifth generation of Banafett. Stable, absolutely no one can compete with it. "There is a blood family that rules all mankind and the entire universe, and this blood family is only a courtier of a country in form. Although its military force is a private army, its strength is stronger than that of any country. This is Titania." The third-generation patriarch Chatret said so, and puffed up his chest and continued: "The universe and Titania coexist." At first hearing, I just feel that this is a whim. To be honest, such an arrogant and domineering declaration is indeed rare. It means that Titania does not coexist with the universe, but on the contrary, this person is not the grandson of the great Neville Titania. Under various factors and the status quo, Titania is prone to suspicion, dislike, and hatred. Facts have proved that without Titania, the order of the universe cannot be established. Although the successive patriarchs of Titania did not make great achievements, they were also shrewd and capable figures. They led the clan, operated organizations, and guarded the power passed down from their ancestors.Even if there is conflict or struggle within the clan, they can unite as one externally and thoroughly safeguard the common interests.Peeping at the title of emperor, they also dream of realizing the political unification of the entire universe, and the reason why these are realized one by one is that they parasitize the entire human society and take the opportunity to control the core organization; at the same time, they confidently declare that the universe is their garden, in fact They really lived up to the title of "landless vassals". The Titanian era and the term Titania peace will be immortalized in history, and the prelude will be officially kicked off in the 229th year of the star calendar.
In the 446th year of the star calendar, the Titania era continued to sit firmly in the country. At this time, the landless vassal king was the eighth-generation patriarch Arjuman Titania.He has just been in charge of the vassal king for five years. He is at the prime of his forties, with finely crafted facial features and silver-gray hair. This year, Arman proposed a deal to Aria City, one of the important members of the Interstellar City Alliance. The city of Aria invented the latest chemical semi-permeable membrane in the research on the development of ocean planets. This transaction is to buy this technology for 100 million daka.However, the city of Aria estimates that this technology will bring an annual profit of 200 million Dhaka for at least the next 30 years, and the conditions of Ashuman are tantamount to exploitation, so Aria rejects this deal, but The consequences of rejecting Titania must be unimaginable. The Interstellar City Alliance, which once dominated the universe and the sea, has declined into a second-rate force at an inversely proportional rate in the face of the increasing prosperity of Titania. However, the forces against Titania cannot be taken lightly, and occasionally oppose Titania. The combination of many forces in Asia is enough to cause damage to this hegemony.Therefore, under the background of this force, the city of Aria should have a way to fight against Titania. However, Aria has been a non-mainstream faction within the alliance for the past ten years. Calls for support were ignored, and even the general meeting was not bothered. The Alliance Fleet cannot be organized without a general meeting, so the city of Elia has no choice but to use its own urban fleet to deal with Titania's aggression. For the city of Elia, this is a headache, but for the whole human society, it is not worthy of attention. Anyway, Titania is sure to win, and the era of Titania will continue, Even children understand that the future seems to be waiting on the way to Eriya City. This is the situation of the entire universe before the outbreak of the "Battle of the Kaiberos Star Field".
