Back Story
The Planet Geia, a single continent planet, with a single moon, found in the Vera star system, a home shared by the native Artomidian people and the the refugee people of the now destroyed Solis star system. The two human like races welcomed one another and were prosperous for a time. They shared religion, technology, culture and prospered with one another to the point their was one culture. Problems began to soon form once over population of the planet became a concern, however such concerns were not with out solution.
In 1234 A.C. Dr. Yurei Vicento, proposed an idea to construct a space colony for people to live in while terraforming parts of the moon using Solis technology. Dr. Vicento guaranteed that the project would take about 40 years and the problems of over population and prevent famine that would wipe out the entire Artomidian race.
The proposal erupted in controversy and separated many of the Artomidian conservatives from the progressive influences of the Solis descendants. The Artomdians argued that mans place is not to dwell in heaven which the Artomidians have came to regard space which was very sacred to them. And that anyone who attempts to live in the realm of God before their soul leaves their body will be severely punished by his wrath.
Many people fell out of the Artomidian faith and favored the idea of a civilization in space. The conservative Artomidians did not become hostile towards these people however, instead they believed that their punishment will come soon enough and anyone who chose to dwell in the heavens were not welcomed to resettle back on the planet out of fear of God's wrath punishing both those who lived in space and those who welcomed them back on Geia. Half of the people on Artomidia dismissed the warnings of their conservative brethren and took part in Dr. Vicentos project.
After nearly 40 years a chain of space colonies began to form and people began to migrate to the colonies. The attempts to terraform parts of the moon have became a huge success, while other parts of the moon was successfully harvested for rare metals. At this point the people of the space colonies began to realize they were truly independent from the planet below them.



On Dr. Vicentos 90th birthday, he was able to witness a wonderful breakthrough. With all the resources that have been gathered and the ever growing manpower, Dr. Vicento was able to witness his space colonies merge into one gigantically constructed artificial world. The colonies took on the appearance of a giant Ring that went around the planet, and inside was a line of prospering cities you would have found on the planets surface, it was truly a feat no one else in history was able to pull off, the people began to nickname Dr. Vicento, Dr. God.
Sadly a year later Dr. Vicento died in his home of old age however upon his request while on his death bed, Dr. Vicento asked the governing powers of the colonies to rename the colony after his wife Strata Vicento. Shortly after his death the space colony was renamed Strata's Ring, and later renamed the Stratian Ring. The people began to nationalize after their unification and formed their own governing nation known as the Stratian Republic.
For nearly a century after the birth of the Stratian Republic both the Artomdians on the planet of Geia and the people who have came to be known as Stratians, prospered separately. Eventually relations between the two nations began to thaw and trade among the two was made.
During trades it was discovered that while the Stratian Republic made its own progress in technology, the Artomidians did the same. The Artomidians were able to invent a durable solid material thats capable of transforming back and forwarth between a solid state and a pure energy state. The Stratians dismissed such technology as a waste of time and resources however, while the Artomidians diligently continued research on it to find uses for it.
250 Years would pass and tragedy would fall upon the Stratian Republic. In the year 1684 A.C. a technological failure occurred with the Stratians Lunar Agricultural colonies on the moon. Atmosphere producing shields began to fail on nearly half of the farms, and strong radiation quickly killed off crops and people, Nearly 50% of the Stratian Republics food supply was destroyed.
Fearing that Stratians will run out of food before the nation will be able to repair the damages, the Stratians desperately made pleas to the Artomidians to relocate some of their people back on Geia. Out of strict religious fears of reprisal, as well as fears of reoccurring over population of the planet, the heads of the Artomidian National Government denied the Stratians to resettle on the planet.
Furious The Stratians went against A.N.G's warnings and permitted traveling vessels to settle on the planet anyway. The Artomidian National Government order for Stratian migrates to return back or be shot down. Three of the four ships that were dispatched listened however the migrating vessel named the Star Maiden, ignored the warnings of the A.N.G. and made Atmospheric reentry. Once the Star Maiden was in A.N.G. airspace the Artomdian Air Defense Force opened fire with with anti-air weapons and shot the Star Maiden out of the sky, killing over 7,000 people.
Anger and fear swept across both the A.N.G. and the Stratian Republic over the incident. Outraged over the death of 7,000 of its own people and fearing that its only hopes of survival is resettlement, Stratian President Demetri Rodnem declared what he calls a complete war of Annihilation upon the Artomidian National Government. In turn, President Rudolph Zartina declared a War of exile on the Stratians. A war where both sides bitterly detesting one another, both of which with the intent of genocide for their enemy is about to begin.
