The Kingdom of the Royal Wami House, officially called the Wami Kingdom, is a sovereign stellar empire spanning seven distinct star systems with eleven inhabited worlds. The state came into being following Global Unification, restarting the empire's calendar. The International Council instigated Global Unification following first contact with the Dahl. The Wami Kingdom would eventually subjugate the Dahl, providing their first interstellar conquest.
History
With the Global Unification, all eight Lords of the Dominate Domains agreed to swear fealty to the Wami House, recognizing their superior regional strength and existing colony on the planet's sole satellite, Kyloc. Of the eight Lords, one was banished to exile. The other seven were promised semi-autonomy to rule stellar regions under the authority of the Wami House. Stars with known habitual worlds were assigned to each Lord, and plans were made to conquer the Dahl Empire. After a decade of cold relations, the Dahl made a preemptive strike against Kyloc, and the Wami Kingdom initiated their plans of conquest.
The Dahl War was fought from GU -162 to -159 til GU -147 to -144 and cost over 200,000 lives. The following occupation of Da-hoon saw a generation pass before native Dahl referred to themselves as Wammites and not Dahl. Despite strong rhetoric from former Dahl upper-class members, no organized resistance to the occupation ever materialized.
Acquisition of the other six star systems occurred between GU -66 to -63 and GU 0 to 3 utilizing advanced transit technology seized from the Dahl. The systems of Santoris and Went were liberated from the remnant Dahl oppressors. The Dahl homeworld and its colony of Da-mork went to the noble Lords.
In the year GU 81 to 84, a Wami Kingdom picket was intercepted and seized. An unknown vessel claimed responsibility and extorted a heavy tax in raw material from the local Lord in exchange for the crew's safe return. Later, a war fleet of the same empire arrived in that system and took control of a telluric mining world.
The occupation was lifted when the invading fleet withdrew rather than fight the Kingdom's relief fleet that arrived in the system. The remaining foreign nationals on the ground were questioned, tried, and executed for crimes against the Kingdom. Following this interaction, a quasi-war began between the Wami Kingdom and the Neupert Prefecture. Both nations overlooked small fleet engagements, privateers, and piracy to avoid an all-out war.
Finally, in GU 108 to 111, the Wami Kingdom identified a series of systems that bordered Neupert Prefecture space and ordered their Royal Expeditionary Fleet forward in conquest.
Size
As of GU 108 to 111, the Wami Kingdom consists of six solar systems, with a total of seven planets occupied.
Eldane
Home of the Wami people and capital of the Wami Kingdom. It is located in the Scutum-Centaurus Arm of the Milky Way galaxy.
Santoris
Home of the Santori people, this caste-based society of pilgrims who left Da-hoon using an experimental arm-jumper to reach the Scutum-Centaurus Arm from the Sagittarius Arm. These pilgrims were later re-conquered by the Dahl Collective in GU -1542 to -1539. The Wami Navy defeated the Dahl forces stationed in orbit and forced the surrender of the entire Dahl garrison.
Bahnmen
Bahnmen has a diverse ecology of pre-sapient species that can be domesticated or trained into rudimentary pack animals and soldiers. Due to the higher-than-average gravity, these creatures are generally large and muscular. A large population of Dahlmite call Bahnmen home. They have built high-atmosphere floating cities with a reverse gravity system that reduces the strain on their body from the high gravity.
Went
Home to the Yennian, a gaunt species that suffered under the Dahl genetic manipulation programs. Conquered in GU -2292 to -2289 by the Dahl, the level of gene tampering has left the Yennian unable to survive without specific synthesized enzymes. The Yennians are a dying race, with birth rates dropping significantly yearly.
Da-hoon
Home of the Dahl people and the original capital of their fledgling empire. The Wami assault on Da-hoon was costly for both sides and took over a decade to rebuild. Now, Dahl's find themselves productive members of Wami society, with their history of subjugation long behind them.
Da-mork
First and only settlement of the Dahl Empire. All other territory acquired by the Dahl was won through conquest. Da-mork is a cold world, set far away from its star - however, rich natural resources at the core of the giant planet have led to incredible wealth for the Vandis Family, lords of Da-mork.
