Second Alkete Civil War

The Second Alkete Civil war was a series of war fought between many of the sovereign States of the Alkataha from A.I- 3,556 - 3,630

First War and Background
A special Alkete project, the creation of the Iarnaal race, began during I.A- 3,353 in several cities on the world of Tolholta. Bred from the smartest, fastest, strongest, sturdiest, and most adaptable of the species. Developed by decades of sifting through the species genetics to find the genes that most fit their creators ambitions. The Council of Tolholta condemned the project led by one of its chief member states Dereszs (Also known as Dubreszs). Despite political opposition and threats from other prominent powers such as Arsanka, Autsat, and Iatausas, Dereszs and its satellite states went ahead with the project. After the outbreak of the 1st Alkete Civil war, caused by a border dispute turned proxy war and inflated into what is now known as the Great Imperial-Tolholta War, the Alkete civilization saw the birth of the Imperial Empire headed by members of the Iaranaal race as well as the uplifted Atsrosiat species.

The war ended when the delegates from Tolholta and the Imperial signed the Treaty of Hostile Alkataha Truce, the signatories from Tolholta were then executed by the member states of the Council so as not to recognize the Imperial's statehood, besides this the treaty has been de facto ratified and followed by both parties. To this day the Imperial State has been internationally referred to as the "Former belligerent coalition of the 'great Tolholta conflict of secession' " often shortened to the everyday official description as the "Autonomy of Iararodia".

The treaty discusses many issues including delegalizing the execution of opponent prisoners of war beyond "rear halving"

The Imperial Teyno was born I.A- 3,417, on the world of Tolholta from a schism in the Council of Tolholta, Its primary backer was at the time the state of Dereszs. It inherited colonies in the Owadal, Arowtatsas, Iararodia, and Otolol and relocated their capital to the Iararodia system on the world of Dlapanskis led by a single ruler over the triad of species named Lord of Alkataha.. The Council of Dlapanskis claimed to represent each and every of the tens of thousands of Alkete states, and in 3,437 attempting to legitimize themselves through the creation of Imperial Congress, who acted as secondary legislators while the bulk of legislative a judicial power was in the hands of the council, and the executive power in the hands of it's elites from Dereszs and Iararodia, principally the Lord of Alkataha.

The Arsanka-Dubresian War
In I.A- 3,556, the Alkete race had expanded their civilization to eight star systems, each system and even major world and station contested by the Council of Tolholta and the Council of Dlapanskis, Beginning from just a handful of states from their origin world of Tolholta, more than 50,000 states had been birthed. Tensions between the Tolholta and Dlapanskis factions could be cut with a knife as the frontiers tried their best to loose themselves from either party. The council of Dlapanskis itself was only barely held together due to a rivalry between the Iaranaal faction on Dlapanskis and the Dubresian faction on Tolholta. In 3,557 During a disastrous attempt to exploit this division Dereszs tensions with the rest of the planet turned red hot, an unstable parliament majority within the state of Arsanka was lost and the new government made a pre-emptive strike against a Dubresian military buildup along the border, states within the core worlds attempted to consolidate their own power many breaking from the council of Tolholta and the Council of Dlapanskis alike such as the Emblem coalition in the Otolol system and the Sovereignty movements.

As the war continues the Iaranaal of the Council of Dlapanskis had to cede power to major constituent states within the Imperial Congress in exchange for measures of all out war. As the council continued to lose power A so called Prime-Chancellor was elected by new Imperial Congress, in addition and equal to the Lord of Alkataha.

After twenty years of fighting the Council of Tolholta split with the loss of the state of Arsanka, The following Dereszs revolution, and Dubreszs exile put an end to the fighting on the planet and largely within the inner system. Leading to the Iatausas-Dereszs Federation of Alkere a powerful rump state born from the ashes of the Council in 3,581. With peace on the surface of Toloholta the Arsanka-Dubresian war abruptly ended with the creation of the Federation, The 2nd Alkete Civil war continued as the Tolholta loyalist colonies backed by the Republic of Autsat aligned with the Sovereignties of Iararodia and Arowtatsas warred against the Imperial Teyno aligned with the Sovereignties of Owadal, Apratalia, and Arowtatsas, fighting the Emblem in Owadal.

The Autsat-Imperial War
The war was a losing one for the Autsat and many of the Council of Tolholta holdout were forced to make separate peace with the Imperial, after fighting returned to Apratalia system The Federation of Alkere sanctioned Austat forcing it to abandon the effort and sue for peace brining an end to the Autsat-Imperial war. The Sovereignty of Otolol, the Emblem, and those leftover from the Greater Republic of Autsat forged an alliance, finally making peace after the battle of Erse with the condition the Teyno leave the system and that the Otolol parties cease support of groups in other systems as well as extradition clauses, bringing an end to the Imperial-Otolol war and a final end to the Second Alkete Civil war.

Destruction of Kos
During the 2nd Alkataha Civil War, Locally known at the time as the Great Arsanka-Dubresian War, The rogue Arsankan seeder ship, designated as the FOA Sickle by the Chilleon Central Committee, passed through the unclaimed Tursbik system with exception of the newly settled Kometer community Kos. The ships crew were killed in an attack leaving the Arsankan space center at Owadal by an Imperial Teyno raid. The seeders ship automated functions remained intact as its back-up systems survived and it was given the green light by the now defunct Greater Republic of Alkataha & Autsat to proceed with its industrial mission while canceling its colonial mission. The ship arrived in the Tursbik thirty years later arriving in one of the stars four asteroid belts, replicative machines quickly began to dismantle lighter parts of the system slowly setting up an informational and industrial Dyson chain.

As the Kos comet approached the inner system its was visited by one of the dumb machines. The machine recognized the Komters as life forms who were shocked by the arrival of the massive alien artifact. It assessed the need for administration and shot off a series of pictures, videos, and data sheets on the lifeforms found. The initial analysis by Local Machine Admin onboard the FOA Sycle came back with a conclusion of Sentient non Sapient life form. While the message was still being transmitted to the Alkataha station around Owadal, reports of an incoming Dubresian War Vessel overrode administrative approval and the machines went ahead and began to mine Kos. Kometer retaliation destroyed several attempts to mine the comet but not before severe damage had already been dealt. The Local Admin reassessed the lifeforms and cancelled mining the comet. The comet was destabilized as it approached the star and broke apart shortly before the apogee, the vast majority of the Komter living in the community died before relocating to a temporary residence in the asteroid belt. When the signal from Owadal came back it responded that the species found were members of the Sapient Komter race.

Stories from Kos would lead to some tensions between the Alkete and the Komter races, but also fueled the birth of the AA who surprisingly have favorable foreign policy towards the Federation of Alkataha

Aftermath
The Aftermath of the war saw the destruction of Arsanka, the fall of Autsat as a major power on Tolholta and the fall of Dubreszs as a major power within the Imperial state. The nature of many Alkete states having both a Imperial and Tolholta government was reversed with much clearer borders being laid out. The Council of Tolholta and the Council of Dlapanskis were both greatly weakened being replaced by the Federation of Alkataha and the Imperial State respectively. Over 1 trillion from the Alkere, Atsrosiat Iaranaal, Kommter, and Lartaran races were killed during the war. The war gave birth to the Otolol communities and the Federation of Alkataha and continued to the tale of division first sung by the previous civil war.
