History & Background (Dossier)

Santry was a naval depot during the Rule of Man.

During the collapse early in the Long Night, a terrorist movement destroyed the base. The surviving naval officers sealed themselves into a deep subterranean bunker within low berths to await aid. By -250 all of the units except one had failed. The bunker and the last remaining survivor, Captain Neva al-Zena, were discovered by an archaeological expedition from the civilization which had survived on the planet's surface.

Once the Captain was revived, she assisted the planetary scientists in decoding and understanding the vast computerized library that was also in the bunker. She led them to re-contact local worlds, first with sub-light drives, then with scavenged Jump Drives and finally with revived jump-drive technology.

Santry quickly became the core of a small pocket empire. By -75, however, this empire was beginning to splinter. Conflict with the Cordovian Republic saw it split it into two parts, and the Chanestin Kingdom outpaced it culturally and economically.

In -7 Santry, afraid that the Cordovian diplomatic contact with the Sylean Federation would place them on a losing side, launched an attack and captured several border worlds. This started an inconclusive war which dragged until -3, ending when Santry offered an armistice.

By 0, with the Santry Naval forces rebuilt, the Santry forces were planning on restarting the war. However, with the declaration of the Third Imperium, the friendly relations between the Cordovians and the Syleans saw the former incorporated into the Imperium. With access to superior ships, the new Imperial Navy quickly overwhelmed the Santry forces. With its own naval forces either destroyed or scattered to the next sector, Santry surrendered and became the next Imperial acquisition.
