The Federation Advance

Corellia, a world located in the outer rim territories.  Founded during the first Exploration Era by the terrans before the formation of the Nothern Terran Alliance.  The small colony prospered as a transportation hub for shipments of precious metals coming back from the Meteo Asteroid belt.  The colony put away enough wealth, that when the minning days dried up and the industry moved to the future location of the Outer Colonies the colony was able to support itself.  Years later during the  formation of the NTA the colony and all it's residents seemingly slipped through the cracks of paperwork and became independent.

It was later picked up by the Mammoth Inc. during a scouting sortie and became a vital hub for the Inc. for shipments from Meteo. The colony was becoming disorganized and needed a leadership drawn together by a single mind.  This came in the form of a mysterious pilot who's origin would later be revealed as not from this galaxy.  Brenden Wilson served time in Eastern Block prison, graduated the NTA academy, and served under the Star Rangers.  Some speculate that he once served as an ace fighter pilot for the ESF[elite star force] division of the Star Rangers.  At the time he was made commander-in-cheif of the Corellian colony he was serving as a HIF Y-wing pilot for Mammoth Inc., the HIF was a special design of his own.  The pilot/starship designer quickly rised through the Mammoth ranks.

To better have control over his new command, the Lieutenant was promoted to Prince Admiral and given the head-up of a new Mammoth sub-division The Federation Advance.  The Advance was run as a communist party on the ex-colony world and most polictical affairs were handled by a high council which were under the direct command of the Prince Admiral.  This new rank and command promoted Brenden Wilson to Supervisor status in Mammoth internal affairs.  Though he rarely spent any time back at Mammoth headquaters.

The Federation Advance was quick to become a military power in the scarce outer rim, and also quick to attract the attention of the Black Sun Empire.  A brief but powerful conflict now known as the Black Sun Wars climaxed with the utter decimation of the Federation Advance space fleet, and the death of millions.  Quick to recover, the Federation used the NTA revolution to gain more experience and make a name for themselves in the populated galaxy.  They became a vital part of The Intergalactic Republic, though the real effect of this was not felt until after a long and bloody conflict.

The Droid Wars were a series of deepspace battles against a menace millenia old.  Large computer operated ships with emense fire power.  These battles saw the first actions of the reformed TIR and even participation from the Black Sun.  The large allied contingency made a final stand at the Inner Core of the galaxy and defeated the Droid menace.  The cost of this war was terrible. The Federation's home planet of Corellia had been left a barren post-nuclear wasteland by droid siege.  Although, a new sector outside the known galaxy had also been discovered.  The new Kalenian Nebula hosted the world of New Corellia and the rebirth of the Federation.  Using technologies developed for war cruisers, the Federation relocated two worlds from the known galaxy and  placed them inside their new nebula; these were Krytos, and Coronet.  Krytos was a desert world with only one sentient species,  the Khajit; a cat-like race that was known for their honor in battle.  Coronet was a teaming water world, full of life, but none that were intelligent.

A brief civil war that ended with a battle over the terran homeworld of Earth shifted internal politics and witnessed the execution of many high ranking officers, most notably the Admiral Traest Kre`Frey.  The Prince Admiral had become very known throughout the galaxy by now, though many believed he had seen more than his years provided.  Finally with no enemy to fight against; the  Federation was put to work by the TIR to help out a new faction, the Human Alien Union.  The HAU had been attacked by anti-xeno idealists that had assasignated several key members of the union with a newly developed virus.  The virus was entirely synthetic and proved difficult to produce a cure for.  During a climactic battle at Blackmoon, the idealist's plot had been discovered. With a brief attack from Black Sun rebels, and the interdiction of the Decimator MkII, the Federation defeated the Idealists.  But again, with a terrible price.  The Prince Admiral was killed by the Black Sun during the battle.  This stirred the TIR and almost caused armed conflict between the Republic and the Empire.  But a mysterious series of events that included a Black Sun armada and single Imperial Royal Guard stemed the war and prepared the Federation for another conflict that would horrify generations to come.

As the conflict with the Black Sun was averted, the Space Pirates began an Invasion against the Federation.  First came a wave of Blitzkrieg through the Defensive Rim region and the Combat Zones.  This conflict saw the rise of an unlikely hero, the Red Baron. A vilgilanté pilot who attacked the pirates with his highly advanced combat fighter.  Near the end of the Defensive Rim Campaign, the Baron formed an alliance with two other pilots, one from the OC and the other from the TIR, that became known as Juno Squadron.  The Pirateer Wars formed another unlikely alliance.  The OC, who were trying to gain full independence from Earth, allied with the Federation and provided key shipments of supplies.  The TIR would play a cruicial role later in the war; and a new faction, The Interstellar Commerce Guild, would provide escort for the OC driven supplies convoys.  The outcome of the Pirateer Wars was decided as the Pirates invaded the Kalenian Nebula.  A massive space battle, whom's numbers hadn't been seen since the dreaded Droid Wars, took place over the barren world of Krytos and utterly exhausted both forces.  The battle also witnessed the kidnapping of the Federation Supreme Commander after the death of Brenden, Ko'Paka Azura, a Khajit pilot who also trained in a special martial art with Brenden.  The Pirates utimately won the battle of Krytos, and it was then that the Battle for New Corellia began.  The two exhausted fleets stayed quite a distance from eachother, and the fighting now took place on the ground.  During the battle for the capital city, Osgiliath;the new Supreme Commander of the Federation, Baron Nerevar[the red baron] confronted and killed the Pirate Commander Grand Admiral Anion.

The Pirates surrendered, and a large chunk of thier territory became part of the Federation.  With peace now at hand, the  Baron Nerevar returned command to Ko'Paka.  He did stay part of the Federation though, he took himself a flagship and began a long journey into wild space; where he explored new regions of space and lost most contact with the galaxy. The Federation became the largest faction, controlling nearly 1/5 of the galaxy.

From humble begins, to grand frontiers.  The Federation Advance has lead the way into a new galaxy.
