Overview[]

Civilization in the Rannella System began only 120 GY ago, but despite the short time they have become not only a recognizable force in the galaxy, but a menace to many much more ancient civilizations. Rannellans are an imperialistic people that have committed themselves to eliminating all non-Kelosians (and supporters thereof) from the galaxy altogether.

This extremist xenophobia began on Crystaldeep, in the Kelos System, about 150 GY ago when the Arrqs invaded for resources. A valiant war was fought against the Arrqs, but it was the eventual alliance with the Helics and Highlords that paved the way to victory in the Kelos System. After the war ended, the newly established Congress of Crystaldeep quickly signed an alliance with both civilizations in what would later be called the Highlord Alliance.

A great portion of the Kelosian population was appalled by this alliance. To many, particularly those who fought in the war or those that lost their homes and cities, making an alliance with "aliens" completely undermined their fighting, cause, and sacrifice. Millions upon millions rallied against the Congress of Crystaldeep after the decision was made.

The cause was carefully organized by a very charismatic politician and Arrqen War veteran, Monav Jules. Jules politically fought against the Congress of Crystaldeep for nearly a decade, to no end. During that time, he established his cause and began working on the groundwork for a new nation and, more importantly, a military. He created representation in the Congress of Crystaldeep under the newly established Rannella Party (the name was derived from a famous Arrqen War general Calvin Rannella, who died with thousands of his men in the first wave of Arrq invasions).

Jules and his party was met with so much resistance against his anti-alien policies and rhetoric, he began to look for other places to establish his cause. Using congressional money for "exploration", Monav Jules' party came upon an uncharted system outside the main sphere of Congressional influence. After a couple GY of further exploration, Monav Jules decided to start his nation there in what would become the Rannella System.

The exodus of the Rannella Party took 2 billion Kelosians from the Kelos System. The population loss was so extraordinary there was a brief economic collapse in the Kelos System, until the Congress of Crystaldeep was able to stabilize it.

Leaving the system in such a huff did not happen easily. The Congress of Crystaldeep demanded retribution for the economic strife and for violating the Congressional Charter. Rannella (now an autonomous nation) demanded independence from those who forced alliance with their natural enemies. After months of negotiations, the Congress of Crystaldeep bowed out of the fight, deciding that their action was not necessarily against the spirit of the Congressional Charter.

Monav Jules began building right away. The new Rannella Nation was built on third planet from the rather hot sun (called Rannella). Monav Jules considered himself somewhat of an intellectual and so decided (with help from the party committee) to name the planets after philosophers. Their home planet (a warmer and larger version of Crystaldeep) was called Berrellia, the others after other prominent philosophers of Crystaldeep.

The Rannellans flourished quickly and Monav Jules gained control within the party before he finally secured all power. Monav Jules eventually dismantled the party and lead Rannella as a benevolent dictator. The people strongly supported him, because he managed to start a civilization from scratch and put it on the galactic map within 10 GY. Massive cities were built on Berrellia to accommodate the billions of people now joining arms to their cause. Military bases were set up throughout the system. Economy was charged by the subsidization of huge corporations and manufacturers. A military and spaceforce much larger than anything the Congress of Crystaldeep conceived, was established. The people of Rannella carried a lot of pride in their cause and what Monav Jules had done for them.

By the time he died and his successor and son Webb Jules came into power, Rannella was a serious threat to the Kelos System. It was Webb Jules, however, that pushed Rannella to the next level. He began a campaign called the Way, wherein the military systematically and continuously invaded and destroyed alien settlements and civilizations throughout the Kelos Sector.

This was made possible primarily because of technology developed by Soy Corporation, that supplied the military with millions of AI cyborg soldiers named Berrellians, after their home world.

In just under twenty GY, Rannella has invaded, secured and imperialized over seventy-five non-Kelosian colonies, settlements, and star systems. The Congress of Crystaldeep has tried to stop their influence whenever possible but that has lead both to the brink of all-out war. Inevitably if the Kelosians and Rannellans fall into war, Webb Jules imperialism would be temporarily halted. Although no other civilizations have truly confronted the Rannellans, various storms are brewing and Monav Jules could find himself at the focal point of the first major interstellar war.
