As tabulons of noble Uingffhaestia, spreading our greatness and order across the galaxy is our duty... our obvious fate... our manifest destiny.
Urlum Eudae Kaywell
The Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon, sometimes referred to as the Galactic Empire of Garmageddon, Garmageddon Sovereignty, the Sovereignty, the Imperial Sovereignty, or just Garmageddon, is a galactic far-right superpower known for its exceptionally advanced technology and extreme practices of authoritarianism and bigotry. Its capital is located on Uingffh, and the Sovereignty is predominantly made up of tabulons (Uingffh's native alien race); some refer to the Garmageddon Sovereignty as the Uingffhian Empire or the Galactic Empire of Uingffh. The Garmageddon Sovereignty formed in 2105 amid the Ingffhaestian Civil War, when its founder, Urlum Eudae Kaywell, took advantage of the civil unrest within the Ingffhaestian Federation and forced its two factions, the Ingffhaestian Union and Ingffhaestian Confederacy, to submit to her rule. Garmageddon later began a program of rapid expansionism, conquering large swaths of the Milky Way Galaxy as its technology exponentially improved. At its peak, the Sovereignty controlled the entire Milky Way Galaxy. Eventually, the Garmageddon Sovereignty broke up into several smaller empires over power disputes in 2199, but later reformed into the Second Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon after a reunification campaign led by the Restored Sovereignty.
Garmageddon implemented oppressive policies that made even the Holy Empire of Earth-Kalgamania's rampant corporate- and government-sponsored speciesist genocides seem pale in comparison. They saw the tabulon race as a superior, godly race and sought to exterminate or subjugate any other civilizations in its path. The Imperial Sovereignty conducted planetary genocides on every inhabited planet or moon it encountered, often resorting to staging mass extinction events on inhabited worlds through its planet-destroying spacecraft in order to make way for tabulon settlers. Garmageddon would kill off trillions of people, sometimes using cruel and unusual methods to do so as part of its efforts in experimenting with seemingly supernatural artifacts. They would subject any survivors or populations they saw special worth in to brutal experimentation which almost always constituted as torture or to slavery and other forms of coerced labor. For civlizations seen as unfit for direct subjugation or extinction, Garmageddon forced trillions of individuals at a time out of native lands and into areas with far less hospitable conditions, usually leading to the extinction of said species which would often later be used by the Sovereignty's propagandists as evidence for other species' genetic inferiority. The Garmageddon Sovereignty established centers where tabulons forcibly sterilized billions of individuals as to prevent the reproduction and spread of species they saw as genetically inferior. Any children that were birthed anyway were either executed or brought to special boarding schools where Garmageddon supporters would attempt to suppress the native practices of these children's own civilizations and force them to adapt customs and traditions more aligned with Uingffhian culture. Though their teachers claimed to see alien children as people, they disrespected their culture and used violent means such as whipping, deliberate thirst/starvation, and hard labor in order to "kill the non-tabulon and save the man."
Like Kalgamania, Garmageddon not only discriminated against other civilizations, but against certain groups within the tabulon race as well. Garmageddon's main religion was Macbethism, a new church that had arose during the Ingffhaestian Civil War. Macbethism involved the worship of an ancient alien race known as the Drori and their leader, Macbeth. According to the religion, the Drori were responsible for seeding all life in the Milky Way before mysteriously dying out billions of years prior to Garmageddon's formation. Macbethism carried large influence in Garmageddon politics, with church and state being one and the same. The Sovereignty persecuted those of other religious groups and sent them into the same brutal concentration camps, execution sites, experimentation labs, and forced labor as other alien species. In addition, the Sovereignty utilized Macbethist verses as justification for the oppression of other minorities such as the LGBTQ+ community, neurodivergent people, and the poor. In 2150, after the revival of the Drori and their subsequent conversion into slaves under the tabulons, Garmageddon transitioned to Urlumism, or worship of the Highmost Sovereign of Garmageddon herself. The deity was the only significant change in the religion; the Sovereign used Urlumism as a justification for bigotry and oppression much in the same fashion as Macbethism.
Cisgender, heterosexual, able-bodied, neurotypical, rich tabulons were seen as the norm in Garmageddon society. The Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon carried out particularly harsh policies towards genetically mutated tabulons such as cube tabulons and glowing tabulons. They stereotyped such groups as degenerate and savage on a level even more derogatory than their portrayal of other species, and they were often experimented on even more brutally than other groups. Macbethism also formed one of the chief justifications for Garmageddon's expansionist policies; the Imperial Sovereignty aimed to not only convert all life in the galaxy to Macbethism, but seek out leftover constructs allegedly left behind by the Drori before their extinction.
Garmageddon contained an organization called the Order of Apollyon (also known as the Apollyonic Foundation) which was responsible for researching anomalous and supernatural phenomena including Drori artifacts. While Apollyon did handle artifacts that seemingly defied natural laws, the Foundation also orchestrated the most infamous experiments carried out on alien species and minorities. The Order treated other species and minority groups including the disabled and the LGBTQ+ communities as anomalies in themselves, and advocated for the public incarceration of said groups under the guise of contributing to research. The Order of Apollyon manufactured some of Garmageddon's most feared, powerful weapons including the Apollyon-class Battle Cruiser, a 6-kilometer-long spaceship with the ability to destroy an entire solar system; and the Macbeth Device, an immense planet-sized space station that not only could destroy large swaths of an entire galaxy, but also was theoretically capable of creating wormholes into alternate realities. Such endeavors were performed not for the greater good of the public nor for science, but to instill fear among dissenters and to devise further brutal methods for oppressing those deemed misfits by the Imperial Sovereignty.
History[]
Formation, Garmageddon Primary Plan, and Redemption (2103-2105)[]
The Polyhex-class battle cruiser, a Garmageddon warship with the ability to destroy a planet. A fleet of 16 of these ships were responsible for the formation of Garmageddon in 2105 during the Redemption.
Prior to Garmageddon's formation, its origin system, the Ingffhaestian system, was in disarray due to the Ingffhaestian Civil War. The Ingffhaestian Federation, the previous government presiding over the system, had split into the Ingffhaestian Union and the Ingffhaestian Confederacy over the issue of equality among the different alien species that existed in the system.
Urlum Eudae Kaywell as Highmost Sovereign.
At that time, the tabulon Urlum Eudae Kaywell resided in the Darrow System (known to Earth as the star Pollux), a red giant star system 12 light years from Ingffhaestia. She had formed the Confederacy and was a strong opponent to species equality, but had become dissatisfied with the Confederacy's status in the war as it began losing to the Ingffhaestian Union. Abandoning the Confederacy and resolving to form a new nation, Kaywell launched the Garmageddon Primary Plan.
As part of its first phase, the Polyhex Plan, Kaywell commissioned the construction of a fleet of powerful starships called Polyhex-class Battle Cruisers with the capability to destroy a planet. To supply resources and labor to construct the Polyhex fleet, her supporters kidnapped millions of other alien species she saw as "inferior" from the Ingffhaestian System and used them as forced laborers for the construction of the Polyhex-classes. Kaywell also captured renowned engineers and scientists, forcing them to engineer robots to aid in the construction. Both of these efforts succeeded, and the Polyhex fleet had reached completion by only July 4, 2105.
The Polyhex-class ship Nemesia destroys the moon of Cornelia.
Kaywell then launched the Garmageddon Primary Plan's second phase, the Redemption Plan, on July 5, 2105. In what is referred by the general public as "the Redemption," Kaywell dispatched all 16 Polyhex-class ships into orbits around each of the Ingffhaestian System's 15 habitable worlds as well as around Earth, ignoring both their previous allyships with the Union or the Confederacy. Large fleets of other, less powerful ships also entered orbital space around other planets not targeted by the Polyhexes. Kaywell threatened planetary destruction if they did not surrender and submit to her rule. Initially, the Union and Confederacy saw Urlum's Redemption as a bluff and staged attacks on the Polyhex-class ships. However, one Polyhex, the Nemesia, destroyed the inhabited moon Cornelia, killed off all 12 billion inhabitants, sent debris spiraling outward which later caused extinction events on the neighboring inhabited moons Muulforia, Yangteon, and Gabolar in doing so, and proved Kaywell's threats correct. The Ingffhaestian Federation's remaining 14 inhabited worlds plus Earth then all surrendered within less than a month, with the last world (Kaywell's own homeworld, Uingffh) surrendering on August 10, 2105. A day later, Kaywell gave her victory speech and reorganized the Union, Confederacy, and Earth into the Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon. She proclaimed herself as its ruler, granting herself the title Highmost Sovereign.
Victory Speech[]
This speech has been translated from Natil, the national language of Garmageddon, to English. Some translation errors may exist.
Attention, citizens of Ingffhaestia! Lend me all of your senses and submit to none but me. I am Urlum Eudae Kaywell, Highmost Sovereign of the Garmageddon Sovereignty and your one and only ruler. All planets have surrendered to me, and both the Union and the Confederacy are under my control. If a single planet dares to oppose my rule, they shall face the devastating wrath of the Polyhex-class Battle Cruisers. They shall share the fate of the moon Cornelia - blasted to pieces. No one has even a single percent of the ability to topple the overwhelming might of the Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon.
Starting at this day... Starting at this moment... the universe belongs to me.Urlum Eudae Kaywell
Inaugural Speech[]
Though the Highmost Sovereign essentially gave herself the title of ruler, Kaywell still commissioned an inaugural speech on August 12, 2105. The event mostly served as a parody of Ingffhaestia's delegate inaugurations and was seen as a form of mockery towards the diverse, democratic ideals of the Federation.
The inaugurator was Olympus rei Tharsis, captain of the ship that destroyed Cornelia.
This speech has been translated from Natil, the national language of Garmageddon, to English. Some translation errors may exist.
Inaugurator Olympus rei Tharsis: Do you swear by oath to protect our great, highmost Sovereignty for as long as you live?
Highmost Sovereign Urlum Eudae Kaywell: I swear my life.
Inaugurator Olympus rei Tharsis: Do you swear to secure, contain, and protect our great, highmost Sovereignty against the iniquities of democracy, of equality, of progressivism, of diversity, and of multiculturalism, and uphold the fear of difference that drives the universe around us?
Highmost Sovereign Urlum Eudae Kaywell: I swear my life.
Inaugurator Olympus rei Tharsis: Do you swear to secure, contain, and protect the noble blood of us Tabulons against the genetic degeneracy of the non-tabulons, of the humans, of the gays, of the lesbians, of the disabled, of the transgenders, of the mentally definient, of the colored, of the religious dissenters, and of the poor?
Highmost Sovereign Urlum Eudae Kaywell: I swear my life.
Inaugurator Olympus rei Tharsis: Do you swear to bring civility to the inferior races, uphold survival of the fittest, and bring order to the primitive, inferior species that sit below our esteemed Tabulon race?
Highmost Sovereign Urlum Eudae Kaywell: I swear my life.
Inaugurator Olympus rei Tharsis: I hereby pronounce you as the greatest of leaders, as the Highmost of Sovereigns: Urlum Eudae Kaywell of Uingffhaestia, ruler of the Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon as of August 12, 2105.
Inaugurator Tharsis places the Imperial Crown on Urlum and taps the Staff of Red - Garmageddon's imperial scepter - on Urlum's shoulders. A round of applause as the anthem of Garmageddon plays from a large church organ in the back of the room. Seconds later, this applause abruptly turns into angry shouts as anti-Garmageddon protestors fill the room.
Human citizen: Down with the Highmost Sovereign!
Human citizen: Down with Garmageddon!
Cornelian citizen: Down with the ones who destroyed our planet!
A pair of tabulon citizens holding a rainbow flag (symbolic of the LGBTQ+ community): Down with the ones who reject love being love!
The Highmost Sovereign pulls out an assault rifle and begins shooting the protestors. Within minutes, all protestors are dying or close to death, with blood covering the floor.
Highmost Sovereign Urlum Eudae Kaywell: Let this be a reminder of the power of the Sovereignty of Garmageddon and the futility of rebellion. Revolt is a mark of sentimentality, of feelings - weakness. We of Garmageddon are a society built upon facts. And facts don't care about your feelings.
Behind Inaugurator Tharsis and Highmost Sovereign Kaywell, a large screen turns on. Depicted on the screen is the planet Florazia, known for the peacefulness, hospitality, and compassion of its inhabitants. A Polyhex-class battle cruiser, the Apollinx, is seen approaching the planet.
Highmost Sovereign Urlum Eudae Kaywell: To demonstrate this, witness the fall of a planet plagued by sentimentality and feelings. Apollinx, fire!
The Polyhex-class ship Apollinx destroys the planet Florazia.
The Apollinx unleashes a green laser beam at Florazia. Upon impact, a large explosion ruptures the planet, causing its entire surface to be burnt and destroyed. All of its inhabitants are presumed dead.
Highmost Sovereign Urlum Eudae Kaywell: Glory to Garmageddon!
Inaugurator Olympus rei Tharsis and audience: Glory to Garmageddon!
A round of applause as the Garmageddon anthem once again plays on the church organ.
Invasion of Uingffh (2106)[]
Though the Redemption and its associated ships successfully brought Ingffhaestia's other habitable worlds under Garmageddon's rule, the moon of Uingffh - Urlum's birthplace - formed a more complicated issue. Being the capital of the Ingffhaestian Union, Uingffh quickly went against Garmageddon control and successfully brought down the Polyhex-class stationed at the moon. Noticing this, Highmost Sovereign Kaywell resorted to a more complex, efficient invasion of her birthplace.
Attack on Yang-Moof City and the Garmageddon Invasion of the United States of Osuwa (January 2106)[]
Political map of Uingffh prior to Garmageddon's invasion
The Highmost Sovereign began by taking out the capitals of every nation/province on Uingffh. On January 6, 2106, she launched an Interplanetary Ballistic Missile (IPBM) containing several nukes aimed at the capitals. Though Uingffh detected the IPBM and took defensive action, one of the nukes evaded Uingffh's interceptor missiles and hit Yang-Moof City - the capital of the United States of Osuwa, the most influential country on Uingffh - on January 7. This bombing caused the deaths of 2.3 million civilians as well as the presumed death of Odyssia rei Iphelia, the Union's former leader.
Political map of Uingffh on January 8, 2106
Though Yang-Moof's immense size prevented the bomb from destroying it completely, the loss of the USO's leader allowed Garmageddon troops to seize control of the Yang-Moof province. On January 30, they declared the formation of the Imperial Sovereignty of Uingffh-Garmageddon, a tributary empire of Garmageddon. Urlum Eudae Kaywell herself led the invasion and appointed herself Uingffh-Garmageddon's Highmost Sovereign.
With the United States of Osuwa's capital and leader gone, the nation quickly devolved into chaos and anarchy. Uingffh-Garmageddon took advantage of the USO's state of civil unrest and led swift invasions of its provinces. Any citizens who refused to swear allegiance to Garmageddon were publicly executed; on January 13, Urlum Eudae Kaywell oversaw the execution of 1,006 citizens in Jasper City who were accused of plotting to overthrow Uingffh-Garmageddon. The Sovereignty also destroyed cities that expressed dissent against Uingffh-Garmageddon, such as when it nuked Amazia City on January 21 and killed 66,000 tabulons. In all of its conquered provinces, the Highmost Sovereign had any LGBTQ+, disabled, mentally ill, non-Macbethist, etc. tabulons executed or sent off-world to a concentration camp.
By the end of January, the entirety of the USO's territory had fallen under the control of Uingffh-Garmageddon.
Garmageddon Invasion of the Bagyo Isles (February 2106)[]
Political map of Uingffh on February 1, 2106
After invading Osuwa, the Uingffh-Garmageddon Sovereignty colonized the Bagyo Isles next. Uingffh-Garmageddon took advantage of the country's poverty and encouraged the Bagyan poor to revolt against their leaders, promising better living conditions under Garmageddon.
This plan proved effective. Over February of 2106, dozens of civilian uprisings took place against local Bagyo Isles leaders, with many of the dissenters publicly displaying Garmageddon flags. On February 11, Garmageddon sympathizers stormed the Bagyo Isles capital of Anilam and murdered Abondio Fortunato, prime minister of the Bagyo Isles.
Uingffh-Garmageddon immediately assumed control of the Bagyo Isles following Fortunato's death. As per their promises, the Sovereignty brought vast improvements to the Isles' infrastructure and economy, with millions of Bagyans coming out of poverty and gaining jobs under Garmageddon employers. However, like with Osuwa, Uingffh-Garmageddon also implemented strict, deadly policies against dissenters and minorities, with thousands of LGBTQ+ Bagyans in particular being publicly executed.
In the end, the economic benefits of Garmageddon in the Bagyo Isles were short-lived; when Kaywell passed the Worker Strip Act and other similar policies during the later Imperialization Plan, all Bagyan workers lost their rights and became exploited under their employers. A majority of Bagyans returned to poverty while a small collection of corporate and Garmageddon officials owned most of the Isles' assets and wealth.
Garmageddon Invasion of the Kingdom of Kaywell (March 2106)[]
Political map of Uingffh on March 1, 2106
After invading the Bagyo Isles, Uingffh-Garmageddon turned to the Kingdom of Kaywell next, sending several vanguard armies with troops numbering in the millions into Kaywell territory.
Militarily, Uingffh-Garmageddon experienced difficulty in invading Kaywell, whose already-powerful military successfully fought back Garmageddon invasion. The tide of the war turned even more towards Kaywell's favor when the nearby Liyres Commonwealth, Nerusgol Union, and Kelargar Republic all declared their support of Kaywell on March 5 and sent even more forces to fight back against Garmageddon.
However, Urlum Eudae Kaywell quickly turned the tide of the invasion back into Garmageddon's favor by using her birthright to her advantage.
When the Kalgamanian Empire invaded Uingffh in 2085, it executed or exiled all members of the Kaywellian royal family. When Uingffh regained its independence in 2099, a new family - the noble Kerolon Family - took the position of royal family. However, because Urlum was, in fact, the Third Princess of the old Kaywellian Royal Family as well as its presumed only living member (two other members, Sarnus Robau Kaywell and Neidon Galileo Kaywell, were later found alive in 2108, but both swore allegiance to Garmageddon and Urlum), Kaywell was forced to accept the Highmost Sovereign as its new leader.
Urlum Eudae Kaywell was coronated queen of the Kingdom of Kaywell on March 13, 2106, on her 101st birthday. Immediately, she incorporated the entirety of the Kingdom into Uingffh-Garmageddon. Numerous internal rebellions plagued the former Kaywell territory for the rest of March, but Urlum suppressed all of them through force - public executions, massacres, city bombings, etc. In addition to the usual suppression of minority groups and political opponents, Urlum also revived imperialist sentiments from when Kaywell had existed as a large empire, spreading Kaywell supremacist views and negative stereotypes of non-Kaywellian races.
Garmageddon Invasion of the Kelargar Republic (April 2106)[]
Political map of Uingffh on April 1, 2106
After invading Kaywell, the Uingffh-Garmageddon Sovereignty targetted the Kelargar Republic next. Taking advantage of its already-conservative political climate, Urlum used propaganda to encourage far-right extremists within the nation to swear allegiance to Uingffh-Garmageddon.
This plan initially proved effective - by April 10, millions of Garmageddon supporters had begun storming regional and national governmental buildings in the republic. However, the republic used its large, powerful military to quickly break up these insurrections; on April 17, the Kelargan government announced its rejection of Garmageddon and its fascist principles.
Ultimately, the Kelargan government's power was limited. When Kelargan Garmageddon supporters received large amounts of weaponry from Uingffh-Garmageddon, the tide of the war quickly turned to Urlum's side. Extremists quickly overwhelmed local and national troops and overran Kelargan governmental buildings. On April 24, fascist extremists seized control of the Kelargan capital of Nires and murdered all Kelargan government officials. Uingffh-Garmageddon quickly moved in and occupied Kelargar the next day.
Garmageddon Invasion of the Nerusgol Union (May 2106)[]
Political map of Uingffh on May 1, 2106
The Uingffh-Garmageddon Sovereignty turned its eyes towards the Nerusgol Union next.
With the nation surrounded on almost every side by Uingffh-Garmageddon territory, the Nerusgol Union quickly crumbled. On May 8, 2106, the Sovereignty officially declared war on the Nerusgol Union. Armies of millions of Uingffh-Garmageddon troops overwhelmed Nerusgan towns with their sheer numbers; many regions voluntarily surrendered, seeing all feasible forms of resistance to Garmageddon as futile.
On May 18, just 10 days after the beginning of the invasion, the Garmageddon army arrived at the capital of Negalia. Though the remains of the Nerusgan army managed to hold back the Garmageddon invaders for three days, the capital eventually fell on May 22. That same day, Urlum Eudae Kaywell formally annexed Nerusgol into Uingffh-Garmageddon and publicly executed Malcalia Breisgau, the prime minister of Nerusgol at the time.
Under Urlum's reign, much of the reformist policies implemented by Nerusgol were repealed. The Sovereignty curbed money away from infrastructure and public services, instead spending Nerusgol's national budget on expanding Garmageddon's already-massive military. Urlum Eudae Kaywell repealed all reformist policies, such as the law permitting same sex marriage, and began the persecutoin and extermination of various minority groups such as neurodivergents, the disabled, the LGBTQ+ community, etc.
Garmageddon Invasion of the Great Bar and Jebellion Island (June 2106)[]
Political map of Uingffh on June 1, 2106
With two of the three most powerful Uingffhian countries (Osuwa, Kaywell, and Morbidia) under Uingffh-Garmageddon control, Uingffh-Garmageddon now had access to thousands of nuclear warheads and other highly advanced long-range weaponry. The Sovereignty utilized these to invade the rest of the Great Bar, home to Jebellion Island and the United Kingdom of the Great Bar.
On June 3, 2106, Urlum Eudae Kaywell and the weapons director of the Uingffh-Garmageddon military, Siddalee Urzua, authorized the launch of 5 nuclear missiles at the Jebellion cities of Jebellion City (capital), Jebel Aru, and Jumeira as well as the Great Bar cities of Castle Bobarius and Castle Babellia (capital). Together, the 5 bombings led to the deaths of an estimated 37.5 million tabulons, but more importantly large-scale economic and political collapses in both of the aforementioned countries - the atomic bombings of Jebellion City and Castle Babellia both killed the leaders of Jebellion and the Great Bar in the process. This allowed the Uingffh-Garmageddon Sovereignty to quickly invade the two countries.
Jebellion Island fell to Uingffh-Garmageddon on June 12, 2106, followed by the fall of the Great Bar Kingdom on June 17. As with the previous conquests, Uingffh-Garmageddon immediately instated oppressive, authoritarian policies in replacement of old governments. The Highmost Sovereign authorized the persecution and public execution of millions of minority group members such as LGBTQ+ individuals, disabled people, and neurodivergent people. All hints of Jebellion and the Great Bar's old governments were abolished, as with both countries' progressive policies.
Garmageddon Invasion of Flornelia (July 2106)[]
Political map of Uingffh on July 1, 2106
Following the conquest of the Great Bar and Jebellion, Uingffh-Garmageddon invaded the continent Flornelia next.
Because Kalgamania had bombarded Flornelia with nuclear bombs and rendered all of its land uninhabitable during its reign, the island continent contained no already-established country or nation, allowing Garmageddon to seize control of the entire landmass by just July 4, 2106. However, the Sovereignty was forced to spend the rest of the month restoring habitability to the irradiated continent. Other Garmageddon-subjugated planets sent billions of imperial asters worth of resources to install radioactivity removal plants across the continent.
Radiation had plummeted to non-lethal levels by just July 14 thanks to the laboratories' efficiency, but Uingffh-Garmageddon still faced the task of restoring Flornelia's infrastructure. In response, Highmost Sovereign Kaywell passed a series of acts known collectively as the Flornelian New Deal to get people to work to construct settlements on Flornelia. Uingffh-Garmageddon established numerous job opportunity programs which increased the number of construction workers available to develop the Flornelian infrastructure.
Though Flornelia had become inhabitable and prosperous again by July 29, its development hid a grim reality - the Sovereignty frequently used exploitation and slave labor to achieve its goal of developing Flornelia. Those admitted into Flornelian New Deal programs faced poor/dangerous working conditions, poor pay, and exploitative employers; in fact, an estimated 570,000 workers lost their lives constructing and rebuilding Flornelia's infrastructure and buildings due to rampant disease, starvation, and poor working practices. Highmost Sovereign Kaywell had made working for the Flornelian new Deal coercive; employees were forbidden to leave the program once employed and were prohibited from striking or forming unions.
In addition to the exploited workers employed during the redevelopment of Flornelia, Uingffh-Garmageddon also employed slave labor and forced labor to achieve its goals regarding Flornelia. The Sovereignty shipped millions of persecuted LGBTQ+ people, disabled people, etc. to Flornelia and subjected to brutal forced labor comparable to the enslavement of Africans during pre-20th Century America. These minority forced laborers faced extremely poor working and living conditions, no pay, and abusive treatment from overseers; some forced labor camps literally cut off laborers' hands as punishment.
Garmageddon Invasion of Morbidia (August 2106)[]
Political map of Uingffh on August 1, 2106
After establishing control over Flornelia, the Uingffh-Garmageddon Sovereignty began planning to invade the socialist Morbidian Republic, the final Ulstonian country not under Garmageddon’s control.
Unlike with previous interactions, Morbidia acted first, launching 17 nuclear missiles at various populated regions Garmageddon on August 11, 2106. However, Urlum Eudae Kaywell had anticipated such an act from Morbidia long beforehand and easily intercepted all of the missiles before they could hit their targets. She then retaliated with her own barrage of 30 nuclear missiles taken from Osuwan, Kaywellian, and Kelargan stockpiles; the results were the total destruction of the Morbidian cities of Luciferous, Mamillon, Sinelia, Asmoda Island, Levinta, Stantain, Beezlenia, and Belphecourt along with the deaths of 17.2 million Morbidian citizens.
Among the 30 missiles were several of two new nuclear bomb types engineered by Siddalee Urzua: the 345-megaton Nivestia warhead and the 500-megaton Gatalantia warhead. Though Uingffh-Garmageddon only deployed one of each type during the Morbidian bombings, the Nivestia’s detonation accounted for 10% of the death toll; the Gatalantia’s detonation, 20%.
To further destabilize the already-crumbling nation, the Highmost Sovereign staged revolts against Morbidia’s leftist government. She had Uingffh-Garmageddon agents spread pro-capitalist messages and pamphlets among Morbidian citizens, successfully leading to anti-socialist movements across the nation. By August 23, Morbidia had destabilized to the point that Uingffh-Garmageddon easily conquered it within 3 days.
Despite Garmageddon’s promises of capitalism and freedom from socialist dictators, its rule over the country proved to be just as, if not even more authoritarian in nature than the old Morbidian government. The Sovereignty strongly suppressed political dissidents and carried out the public executions and torture of millions of Morbidian socialists and communists. The discrimination against minorities also extended into Morbidia. Most notably, Uingffh-Garmageddon began to stereotype the entire Morbidian race as socialists, leading to severe discrimination from the government, corporations, and even citizens; for example, during the Luciferous Race Riots of August 29, Uingffh-Garmageddon extremists led by Urlum Eudae Kaywell herself massacred an estimated 107,000 individuals of Morbidian descent on baseless accounts of them conspiring to launch a socialist revolution across Garmageddon. This discrimination and stereotyping of Morbidians would continue on for the rest of Garmageddon’s history.
Garmageddon invasion of the Uopian Federation and the Uveerian Kingdom (September 2106)[]
Political map of Uingffh on September 1, 2106
After conquering all of Ulstonia as well as Flornelia, Uingffh-Garmageddon turned its attention towards the three other island continents on Uingffh not yet invaded by Garmageddon.
The continents of Uopia and Uveerius were first to be invaded by Urlum due to the two nations allegedly housing LGBTQ+ disabled, and other minority refugees. Uingffh-Garmageddon decided to invade the two island continents simultaneously, first by launching nuclear warheads at them as with Jebellion, the Great Bar, and Morbidia in order to kill off the so-called “minority degeneracy”.
Prior to the invasions, Weapons Director Urzua not only mass-produced the Nivestia and Gatalantia bombs, but also engineered another two new atomic bomb types: the 895-megaton Satsuki warhead and the 1180-megaton Ragyo warhead. On September 8, 2106, Weapons Director Urzua launched 5 Satsuki missiles at Uopia and 7 Ragyo missiles at Uveerius; the strikes led to the deaths of a staggering 10.5 million in Uopia and an even more staggering 13.2 million in Uveerius.
Though the strikes successfully killed off the Uopian government, the Uveerian government survived. This prompted Uingffh-Garmageddon to launch a sea-based invasion of Uveerius using special Polyhex-class ships modified for use in water. Through these naval ships, Uingffh-Garmageddon successfully captured the Uveerian government-in-exile and took control of all surviving Uveerian cities and bases by September 20; three days later, Highmost Sovereign Urlum Eudae Kaywell formally integrated Uopia and Uveerius into the Uingffh-Garmageddon Sovereignty, imposing many of the same oppressive, authoritarian policies passed in other defeated countries under her rule.
Garmageddon invasion of the Liyres Commonwealth (October 2106)[]
Political map of Uingffh on October 1, 2106
The final Uingffhian nation left standing during Garmageddon’s invasion of the planet was the Liyres Commonwealth. Warfare between Uingffh-Garmageddon and Liyres officially began on October 3.
Compared to the other invasions, the invasion of Liyres turned out anticlimactic. With its military severely weak and ineffective compared to the planet-spanning Uingffh-Garmageddon, Liyres quickly fell to the Sovereignty in a matter of days. Furthermore, Liyres’ leftist policies rendered it a target of Uingffh-Garmageddon far-right propaganda, further bolstering Garmageddon troops’ morale and vastly dampening the Liyrians’. By just October 11, 2106, Liyres surrendered to Garmageddon amid threats from Urzua of launching a Ragyo nuclear missile at the Liyrian capital.
As with the aftermaths of other invasions, the Uingffh-Garmageddon Sovereignty immediately repealed all of the Liyres Commonwealth’s left-wing policies following its annexation of the country. Bigotry, oppression, and public executions of minority groups all became commonplace. The surrender of Liyres meant that Uingffh-Garmageddon now controlled all of Uingffh; with its purpose of invading Uingffh fulfilled, Urlum Eudae Kaywell formally absorbed Uingffh-Garmageddon into the main Garmageddon Sovereignty on November 14, 2106.
Imperialization Plan and Assertion of Power (2107-2110)[]
Highmost Sovereign Kaywell held the desire to spread her rule beyond the two star systems and spread Sovereignty rule to other star systems. However, with Ingffhaestia still in social, economic, and political ruin following the catastrophic Civil War, the Garmageddon Sovereignty made the decision to first establish control over its two star systems. Launching the third phase of the Garmageddon Primary Plan, the Imperialization Plan, Kaywell began a massive four-year campaign to fix Ingffhaestia's infrastructure in her own oppressive ways, create a formal system of government and economics, and establish forms of oppression against other alien races.
The Highmost Sovereign publicly executed all 14 surviving delegates (Cornelia's delegate was killed during the destruction of said planet in 2105) of the Ingffhaestian Council on January 20, 2107. She also executed the family members of said delegates including young children and infants at the same time. Protests arose criticizing Garmageddon for, in their view, senselessly murdering innocent children and babies. Kaywell responded with the introduction of newly-engineered sword-shaped combat robots known as fasces which ruthlessly murdered the protestors by stabbing them with loaded ultrasharp needles; the estimated death toll following the protests and their subsequent suppression via the use of the fasces was 195 million - more than the death tolls of Earth's two world wars combined. On February 1, 2107, the Highmost Sovereign publicly executed all 72 surviving members of the Ingffhaestian Court and Legislature, this time through the use of fasces. These events, which would come to be known as the Fasces Massacre, laid the basis for the dismantling of the current government.
Garmageddon then began eradicating all traces of not only the old Ingffhaestian government, but the old culture of Ingffhaestia itself. On February 8, the Ingffhaestian Council, Court, and Legislature were formally dismantled along with the Ingffhaestian Confederacy's government. All citizens were stripped of their say in political affairs. A new totalitarian governmental system outlined by the Garmageddon Constitution was formed which granted all political power to the Highmost Sovereign.
In the New Order Act of February 13, all displays of the Federation's flag, motto, and anthem were banned. Old Federation governmental buildings were demolished. Yang-Moof City, the Federation's former capital, was renamed Polyhex City in honor of the Polyhex-class warships which brought down Ingffhaestia and was significantly expanded without regard to native ecosystems or wildlife. The Uingffhian delegate's palace located at the center of Yang-Moof was also torn down and replaced with a standing Polyhex-class specially commissioned by Kaywell for use as her new palace. Millions of cities and landmarks across the Ingffhaestian star system's planets and moons were renamed to honor Garmageddon and its achievements as part of its program to establish a sense of nationalism. The old currency, sters, were renamed to Imperial Asters. Even the official language was changed, with the Highmost Sovereign forcibly transitioning Ingffhaestia to a nation speaking Natil, the Tabulons' ancient language.
During the period from March to April, the Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon passed a collection of laws and acts known as the Non-Tabulon Codes, which restricted the rights of non-tabulons. "In order to create a prosperous nation, we must protect our pure tabulon race from the evil that is other species," Highmost Sovereign Kaywell famously declared during the passage of the first of the Codes. Intelligent species aside from tabulons were demoted to what were essentially slaves, losing many fundamental rights. Garmageddon denied non-tabulons the rights to vote, own property, travel independently, and to many other things. The Non-Tabulon Codes entailed the construction of the first concentration and extermination camps, and millions were sent to the first completed camps to be sentenced to hard labor or execution. Statisticians estimate the death toll in these camps to be 11 billion in 2107 alone. The Sovereignty also began restricting the rights of minorities within the tabulon species. In its Pridefall Act of March 3, Garmageddon outlawed same-sex marriage, gender changing and the display of pride flags. In the subsequent Conformity Act of March 15, the Sovereignty stripped citizenship from both mentally and physically disabled tabulons. Both the tabulon LGBTQ+ community and disabled tabulons underwent forced sterilizations and were sent to conversion therapy, where Garmageddon medical professionals brutally tortured them in an effort to undo their queerness/disability. Opposition to these acts and codes was few and far between due to the intimidation the Polyhex-class ships and the Fasces posed over potential dissenters. It is estimated that 6.5 billion LGBTQ+ and disabled tabulons were sent to their deaths in 2107.
In addition to government-mandated oppressive policies, Garmageddon harvested a culture of bigotry within its citizenry. Thousands of popular television programs, works of literature, movies, plays, and other forms of fiction were banned and replaced with Garmageddon propaganda which grossly stereotyped alien races and gave off prominent themes of racism, ableism, etc. A group called the Associated Student Body was formed which aimed to indoctrinate children and teens into the bigoted ideologies of Garmageddon, attracting millions of members. Schools were forced to ban non-tabulons from attending and to teach speciesism in their curriculums; the average school day was increased from 7 hours to a whopping 12 hours to accomodate a 5-hour-long period specifically for the teaching of speciesist principles such as social darwinism, racial hierarchies, stereotypes, etc. Teaching critical race theory and other forms of progressive teaching were made punishable by death, and organizations like Kalgamania and the Ingffhaestian Confederacy were glorified. Prominent social justice figures such as Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., the Seraph, etc. became demonized and portrayed as dangerous communists.
The Highmost Sovereign had millions of speciesist propaganda posters be hung up in public spaces. These efforts were highly successful. Citizens of Garmageddon often rallied together to form enourmous, violent mobs, beat hundreds to thousands of aliens and minority group members to death, and burn said groups' towns to the ground. Hate groups such as the Warriors of the Tabulon Eugeo (side note: The Eugeo was a native Uingffhian flower known for its large, blue-colored rose-like blooms) and the Proud Tabulons. Companies, which had retained their autonomy, either barred non-tabulons from employment or subjected them to hard labor. They also incorporated speciesist propaganda in their advertisements.
The Ingffhaestian Federation's constitution, along with many of its freedoms of religion, speech, and the press, were suppressed under Garmageddon's rule. The Sovereignty drastically increased state surveillance, especially for those suspected of harboring left-wing or liberal ideologies; government organizations were established to suppress all opposition to the political far-right, the only legal part of the political spectrum in Garmageddon. Garmageddon, in addition to passing acts such as the Pridefall act, reinstated thousands of old laws against minorities such as homosexuality, transgender people, neurodivergents, disabled people, etc. as it carried out persecutions, public torture, and public executions of prominent progressive activists.
This oppression served not only to establish tabulons as a superior race, but to create a source of labor for the hard tasks needed to repair Ingffhaestia's ruined economy and infrastructure. Non-tabulons worked alongside shunned tabulon minority members in poor working conditions rebuilding destroyed structures, repairing infrastructure, and mining asteroids for the material used to build the Sovereignty's massive starships and palaces. Engineers from other planets were captured by Garmageddon and forced to design novel warships and weapons for the Sovereignty; by the beginning of 2107, over 100,000 ships were in the service of Garmageddon's navy, with 10 new ship classes being made including the Christo-class, Hunter-class, Ruina-class, Malum-class, Interitus-class, Perditio-class, Exitium-class, Eversio-class, Apollymi-class, and Apollonius-class.
Despite this new efficient labor force, however, the Highmost Sovereign decided to impose even more measures to increase productivity. She decided to go somewhat against her ideal of absolute control and create a laissez-faire economic system, stripping away many of the economic regulations imposed by the Ingffhaestian Federation. Openly promoting free-market capitalism much like the earlier Holy Empire of Kalgamania, Garmageddon's companies became largely free to do what they wished. At first, this actually backfired; though the economy quickly prospered and recovered from the Civil War (an effect seen as one of the few positives of Garmageddon rule), several companies used their freedom to openly protest against Garmageddon and secretly assist non-tabulons and other minorities. To combat this, the Sovereign passed the regulatory Coercion Act on March 26, 2107, which forced all companies to support the oppression of non-tabulons and set heavy fines for companies that failed to comply. Kaywell also passed the Worker Strip Act at the same time, which stripped all lower-class laborers of their rights and authorized their exploitation under employers. Employers and other overseers were permitted to extend working hours as long as they wished, assign any form of work regardless of its potential danger or brutality, and even torture or execute employees on-site. The act also abolished labor unions and minimum wage requirements and set a precedent for classism and worker exploitation for decades to come.
These policies established Garmageddon's culture and allowed it to recover from the ruin of the Civil War efficiently and effectively. Internal improvements were essentially completed by 2110, which marked the end of the Imperialization Plan.
Griffith's Rebellion and the Garmageddon-Earth War (2111-2114)[]
General Arsia Tharsis' flagship, the Polyhex-class ship Portavia, fires on India.
On April 22, 2111, Earth prime minister Evanor Griffith (born Evan inv Kalgamania, a member of the Kalgamanian Empire's royal family) surprised the Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon when he announced Earth's secession from the Sovereignty and the end of his support of Garmageddon speciesism and policies. In what was known as Griffith's Rebellion, Earth's human population slaughtered or forced out tabulon settlers and mounted assaults on the Garmageddon naval forces orbiting Earth, destroying the Polyhex-class orbiting the planet in the process by disabling its planet-destroying gun via an EMP. This came amid a period of reform brought about by Prime Minister Griffith which involved advances in race, gender, LGBTQ+, disability, etc. equality and a de-glorification of Kalgamania.
Within a day, the Garmageddon Sovereignty sent a fleet of 495 ships including three Polyhexes to Earth's solar system as part of the Highmost Sovereign's new (and ultimately last) phase of the Garmageddon Primary Plan: the Earth Capture Plan. The fleet was led by sibling generals Ascraeus Tharsis, Pavonis Tharsis, and Arsia Tharsis (the three children of Olympus rei Tharsis). Though the Garmageddon fleet was powerful, the Earth fleet matched its power with its own multi-kilometer world glassers inherited from Kalgamania. Constant space warfare continued for almost three years, with dramatic civilian and military losses on both sides; 230 million humans and 2.15 million tabulons died as the Griffith fleet took down hundreds of Garmageddon ships while the Tharsis siblings' Apollymi-class cruisers bombarded populous Earth cities such as San Francisco, Tokyo, Delhi, Shanghai, Sao Paolo, Mexico City, Cairo, Mumbai, Beijing, Dhaka, and Osaka (Half of all human deaths occurred during the January 5, 2112 ADHD Genocide, when Arsia sent an army of 45.6 billion fasces onto Earth in order to kill all 129 million people with ADHD settled on the planet). Several ships also targeted Megat and caused similar destruction on its cities. The tabulons took advantage of Griffith's perceived "oversensitivity" by targeting populous cities rather than governmental cities. Even Ingffhaestia was hard at work contributing to the war; in addition to drafting millions of tabulon citizens, the Garmageddon government forced already-overworked and underpaid laborers to become more productive in order to increase military output; workers and non-tabulon slaves were forced to work all 24 hours of the day, sometimes with no pay due to the absence of minimum wage laws.
Eventually, both sides lost value in the war; on December 2, 2114, Evanor Griffith and Urlum Eudae Kaywell agreed to sign the Treaty of the Moon which declared the Solar System and a collection of human-inhabited star systems an independent nation. The treaty also outlawed the destruction of planets, though the Sovereignty would quickly find clever loopholes to this aspect of the treaty and eventually ignore it altogether. Though Garmageddon and the newly-founded Griffith Republic agreed to engage in peaceful relations, both sides continued to express bitterness towards one another internally, especially on the side of Garmageddon; anti-human propaganda dramatically increased in Garmageddon-controlled planets and the Sovereignty began rapidly expanding its military in the hopes of one day re-conquering Earth.
Beginning of the Ouroboros Contingency Plan (2115-2119)[]
On April 22, 2115, the Garmageddon Sovereignty ended the Garmageddon Primary Plan and began a new plan: the Ouroboros Contingency Plan, which was focused on expanding Garmageddon's borders and "bring civility to the inferior, savage races" beyond Ingffhaestia.
To this end, Garmageddon fostered a period of technological advancement during four years following the conclusion of Griffith's Rebellion, as part of the Ouroboros Plan's first phase - the Industrialization Plan - to prepare the Imperial Sovereignty for expansionism. Technological advancement was exceptionally rapid in pace, with the Sovereignty constructing multi-kilometer constructs in the timeframe of mere weeks and months - a feat that once took years - thanks to the invention of new construction robots. With almost unlimited resources thanks to non-tabulon slave labor and a lack of worker's rights, Garmageddom scientists, businessmen, and other industrialists began pushing out numerous new innovations and inventions, particularly within the Garmageddon military. Garmageddon's navy alone saw the introduction of eight new ship classes: the Iniquity-, Ignominy-, Piaculum-, Supplicium-, Katastrofi-, Chalasmos-, Ultio-, and Algol-class ships. Civilian life saw changes as well; cities and towns located on worlds formerly inhabited by non-tabulons were demolished and replaced by new tabulon cities with exceptionally high standards of living. In addition, dozens of new space stations including O'Neill Cylinders, Stanford Tori, and Bishop Rings. Furthermore, vast terraformation projects took place which turned dozens of uninhabitable terrestrials into prosperous Uingffh-like worlds. Some of the advancements during the time period even bordered on fantasy; the Garmageddon Sovereignty developed methods of mind control and memory manipulation, both of which the Highmost Sovereign quickly put to use to manipulate the public and crush dissent. Though industrialization deepened the already-severe wealth gap between laborers and higher-class tabulon citizens, with only a small few being truly able to enjoy the luxuries of the Industrialization Plan, the Sovereignty simply utilized these physchological weapons to force the lower-class into being complacent with their poor living conditions. In addition, Garmageddon technology gained the ability to control weather and significantly alter large landscapes; oftentimes, the Sovereignty would trigger artificial natural disasters such as hurricanes and volcanic eruptions as a way to put down opposition. Garmageddon scientists pioneered methods of biological immortality as well, allowing individuals like Highmost Sovereign Kaywell and her confidants to theoretically reign hundreds of years past their normal biological lifespans (Unbeknownst to Urlum, Evanor Griffith also gained access to Garmageddon's biological immortality methods via the black market).
The advancement period also saw a increase in discrimination against non-tabulons and other minorities as numerous concentration camps reached completion. The Sovereignty of Garmageddon forced entire planetary populations of non-tabulon species along with billions of other minorities into the newly-constructed camps to suffer under forced labor, experimentation, sexual abuse, and a plethora of other atrocities - an estimated 11 billion individuals - possibly even more, given the extreme censorship in Garmageddon - were killed from 2115 to 2119 while billions more sustained severe physical and physological harm. Several new laws also legalized the sterilization of planetary populations, the taking of minority youth into correction facilities and boarding schools, and the removal of native non-tabulons out of their land to make way for tabulon cities. One of the most notable forms of concentration camps was the star crusher, which doubled as a military weapon. Star crushers were derived from Kalgamania's world glassers, carrying a similar triangular shape and the ability to cause destruction on a planetary scale (indeed violating the Treaty of the Moon in the process). Their reputation as concetration camps came from how non-tabulons formed most of the labor force on these stations; inmates were treated extremely harshly and were overworked by tabulon masters. This type of scene also played out on almost all ships in the Garmageddon navy, but the star crushers received a particularly high influx of captured non-tabulons.
In addition to economic and social change, political change occurred in Garmageddon as well, with its government becoming much more organized and complex. Though the Highmost Sovereign still wielded dictatorial power and the Garmageddon Sovereignty remained a one-party totalitarian state, power became distributed among a selection of departments and organizations. The order system previously used in the Ingffhaestian Federation was revived, only with seven orders rather than four. The Orders of Stanford, Yale, and Harvard were established. Garmageddon also formed the Order of Urvinius to replace the old Order of Korvinius, which had been executed due to all of its members being non-tabulons. Many of the members of the old Ingffhaestian Federation orders, especially the higher-ranking generals and grandmasters, joined the new Garmageddon orders, but mostly due to the Highmost Sovereign threatening death and holding families hostage if they did not join. Garmageddon's orders partook in duties such as propaganda, executions of non-tabulons, censorship, military conquests, etc. In addition, a top-secret eigth order called the Order of Apollyon was established and became the Highmost Sovereign's "right hand," performing much of the Sovereignty's more sinister tasks. Several noble families were also established; one of these was the Tharsis family, which the Highmost Sovereign awarded nobility to for their role in the destruction of Cornelia and in Griffith's Rebellion. Garmageddon established a judicial system, the Highmost Imperial Court; as well as proper intelligence, propaganda, and youth organizations.
The advancement period ended with the invention of the Thegasia Drive in 2119. The Thegasia Drive acted as a wormhole device, generating shortcuts in spacetime which allowed for faster-than-light travel. With the Thegasia Drive's invention, Garamgeddon at last began its journey to conquer the Milky Way, though technological advancement would continue well past 2119.
Beginning of Explosive Expansionism and the Galaxies Unbound Plan (2120-2122)[]
In late 2119, the Highmost Sovereign began the Galaxies Unbound Plan, the next phase of the Ouroboros Plan which entailed the rapid expansion of the Garmageddon Sovereignty's borders. Armed with an exponentially-expanding fleet with ships numbering to the tens of thousands, Garmageddon quickly conquered dozens of other star systems with the help of Thegasia Drives mounted onto every ship. By just February 14, 2120, the Sovereignty had established rapidly-urbanizing colonies in the nearby Proma, Kalaga, Tinara, Darrow, Cassius, Balphamia, Vetaris, and Prolifia systems. These expeditions into neighboring stars were led by high-ranking generals and noblemen who would later come to be nicknamed Conquerators.
During this period, Conquerator Mirn Nova Kirbani encountered two species of native intelligent life on the moons of Tertan and Fera, both in the Kalaga System (known to humans as Upsilon Andromedae), marking the first encounter with another species of intelligent life outside of Ingffhaestia since contact with the human race in 2040. Though Mirn described the inhabitants as a kind and generous people, she also noted their potential to be used as slaves for the Sovereignty. Obtaining authorization by Highmost Sovereign Kaywell to subjugate Tertan and Fera under Garmageddon control, Mirn sent a fleet led by her brother, Vael Nova Kirbani, to invade both worlds along with all other worlds in the Kalaga System. Utilizing similar strategies the Highmost Sovereign used during the Redemption, namely threats of planetary destruction by Polyhex-class ships, Vael successfully conquered Tertan and Fera. Billions of Tertanians and Ferans were sentenced to forced, unpaid labor under cruel tabulon masters, who saw them as inferior in the same way they saw other non-tabulon species.
Garmageddon's conquest of other star systems and oppression of native civilizations brought attention and criticism from Evanor Griffith, who claimed that the Kirbani siblings' use of Polyhex-class battle cruisers in the conquest of Kalaga violated the Treaty of the Moon. Urlum Eudae Kaywell defended the Kirbanis' actions, stating that simply threatening planetary destruction did not go against the treaty, which only outlawed actual planetary destruction. As such, Garmageddon's imperialist endeavors went on unhindered; by the end of the year, the Imperial Sovereignty had conquered all inhabited star systems within 20 light years of Ingffhaestia, expelling native civilizations and subjecting them to cruel conditions in all of them. However, Garmageddon only continued to expand at an exponential rate, with dozens of systems falling into its tyrannical domain every single day. Thanks to the Thegasia drives, Garmageddon had effectively conquered the entire Orion-Cygnus Arm of the galaxy by just 2122.
Hebrew Eclipse Plan and the Garmageddon Invasion of Krybolartarium (2123-2124)[]
Political map of the Milky Way on January 1, 2123
With the Orion-Cygnus Arm conquered, the Highmost Sovereign set her eyes on conquering the next arm of the Milky Way Galaxy: the Carina-Sagittarius Arm. Prior to beginning its conquest campaign, Garmageddon gathered intel on the Carina-Sagittarius Arm's environment in order to better plan for battle.
Flag of the Krybolartarium Empire
Carina-Sagittarius, at the time, was inhabited by a species known as the Krybolartarian Lizards, who had organized into the Krybolartarium Empire centered on their homeworld of Krybolartarium. Krybolartarium controlled most of the Carina-Sagitarrius Arm and had a domain comparable in size to Garmageddon. Though their government wielded near-absolute power and their military held a strength comparable to Garmageddon's, Krybolartarium did not resort to oppressive policies and advocated for equal rights as well as inclusion.
Initially, Garmageddon attempted to use its usual strategy of intimidating worlds into submission via Polyhex-class battle cruisers to annex Krybolartarium. A vanguard force of 405 Polyhexes warped into the regions of Krybolartarium space closest to Garmageddon, threatening the destruction of planets if the planets in question did not surrender to Garmageddon. However, the Garmageddon Sovereignty underestimated the Krybolartarium Empire's technology; Krybolartarian lizards used their own planet-destroying ships to not only defeat all but 11 of the Polyhexes, but destroy a Garmageddon-controlled border planet known as Fisetia.
On October 4, 2123, the leader of Krybolartarium, Tyrannius Hugon, declared war on Garmageddon. The new war proved costly for the Sovereignty, with Krybolartarian ships destroying roughly a fourth of Garmageddon's navy and taking an eighth of Garmageddon's territory by the end of the year. In response to her losses, however, Highmost Sovereign Kaywell devised a clever strategy to turn the tide of the war: Bioweapons.
Eclipsia-24 under a microscope.
The Highmost Sovereign set forth the Hebrew Eclipse Plan, the next phase of Ouroboros, into motion in 2124 in order to take over Carina-Sagittarius. The plan entailed the secret creation of an extremely infective and deadly virus, Eclipsia-24, in Garmageddon laboratories which could affect all forms of complex intelligent life save for tabulons. After tests on non-tabulon concentration camp inmates proved successful in severely sickening infectees, a disguised fleet led by Conquerator Alef Hebrew released the virus into Krybolartarium space. Eclipsia-24 spread extremely rapidly; by just March 13, 2124, over 50% of Krybolartarian planets had at least 1 million confirmed cases, with combined fatalities numbering in the billions. The virus forced Krybolartarium to withdraw from Garmageddon space and go on lockdown, with funds being diverted from military and war efforts to healthcare and relief.
Then, the Sovereignty took advantage of the economic ruin brought about Eclipsia-24. With Krybolartarium's military significantly weakened by the virus removing personnel from service, Garmageddon ships were able to take control of planets with extreme ease. More and more planets in the Carina-Sagittarius Arm became Garmageddon colonies, with the Sovereignty expelling Krybolartarian Lizards living on these planets and forcing them into concentration camps; billions died from experimentation and genocide. Within the Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon, tabulon nationalist propaganda came to include Krybolartarian Lizards in its long list of species deemed genetically inferior; the Imperial Sovereignty used the outbreak of Eclipsia-24 among Krybolartarian Lizards and the tabulons' immunity to the virus as evidence for the Lizards' inherent inferiority and the tabulons' superior genes. By August of 2124, 90% of Krybolartarium territory had fallen under the control of Garmageddon.
On August 11th of that year (the 19th anniversary of the formation of Garmageddon), a fleet of 1984 ships led by Alef Hebrew had entered the orbit of the planet Krybolartarium itself, marking the beginning of the Great Battle of Krybolartarium. Garmageddon took control of Krybolartarium by first taking over an extremely large 2000-kilometer-long bishop ring space station orbiting the planet called the Mothership. Quickly defeating the meager Krybolartarian defense fleet posted near the Mothership, the Garmageddon fleet threatened to collide the Mothership with Krybolartarium if Tyrannius Hugon did not surrender.

Hugon eventually surrendered on September 8, 2124. However, the Garmageddon Sovereignty decided to take an equally-catastrophic action: firing a Polyhex-class ship at the planet in order to eradicate the native population and establish a tabulon colony. On September 20, Conquerator Hebrew's flagship, the Britannia, fired upon Krybolartarium and caused death and destruction on an apocalyptic scale; entire continents were burned while other parts of the planet suffered impact winters which decimated the already-ruined economy of Krybolartarium. Within a decade, 90% of Krybolartarium's population of 5 billion (the population is rather low due to Krybolartarium being a small planet) had perished along with 80% of all life on the planet, though tabulon colonization had begun long before then. On December 9, 2124, the Krybolartarium Empire was officially disbanded and transformed into the Irun Court (province) of Garmageddon, with Alef Hebrew becoming its High Lord and the solar system of Irun (an G1V-type star located 8 light years away from Krybolartarium) becoming its capital. The Irun Court's formation also marked the designation of the Orion-Cygnus Arm and all other pre-Krybolartarium War territory as the Imperial Ingffhaestian Court, with Ingffhaestia remaining its capital system and Uingffh its capital planet.
The Tayah Station
The annexation of Krybolartarium gave Garmageddon a control of a Drori artifact known as the Tayah Station. The Tayah Station was composed of a large Bishop ring with a diameter of 1600 km. The ring-like structure generated an energy core at the center of the ring which provided the Garmageddon Sovereignty with a nigh-unlimited source of energy. The Imperial Sovereignty utilized this newly-gained tool to power its inumerable colonies and millions of spacecraft.
Several protests arose back in the Orion-Cygnus Arm in response to the mass extinction on Krybolartarium, with the event drawing criticism from both anti-Garmageddon activists and Garmageddon supporters. Activists denounced the Britannia's firing on Krybolartarium as a senseless act of genocide. Garmageddon supporters, meanwhile, criticized the act as a waste of resources, claiming that the Imperial Sovereignty had the ability to colonize the planet without resorting to mass destruction. Like most protests, however, the Sovereignty ignored the protestors' pleas and forcibly brought about their end via the use of memory-erasing injections and, in more violent cases, fasces. Evanor Griffith also noted how Krybolartarium's destruction violated the Treaty of the Moon, but chose not to take action due to the Garmageddon Sovereignty's navy far overpowering the Griffith Republic's feeble forces.
The Garmageddon-Krybolartarium War marked the beginning of the construction of the Macbeth Device.
Omperion Plan, Kristallnacht Empire Plan, and the Garmageddon Invasion of Xymidication (2125-2127)[]
Political map of the Milky Way on January 1, 2125
After conquering Krybolartarium, word began to spread across the galaxy of the Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon's brutality. Realizing the high possibility of the other galactic powers declaring war against Garmageddon, Urlum Eudae Kaywell decided to take the initiative and declare war on the other powers first, resolving to conquer the galaxy as quickly as possible. She made the decision to first attack one of the larger, more powerful civilizations - the Xymidication Empire and the Kingdom of Sria - in order to deprive them of the time needed to build up enough resources to win a war against Garmageddon.
Flag of the Xymidication Empire
The Highmost Sovereign ultimately decided to declare war against the Xymidication Empire, the superpower in control of the Perseus Arm, on January 15, 2125. This was due to how it posed a greater potential threat to Garmageddon and how it was located closer to the Sovereignty. Unlike Krybolartarium, Xymidication held much more territory, controlling one of the Milky Way's two main arms. Its species was a gem-like species called the Xymethystas which organized themselves into several castes. Xymidication was ruled by an oligarchy known as the Diamondite Authority consisting of the nine members of the highest caste, the Diamondites. The most powerful member of the Diamondite Authority was an individual by the name of White Diamondite. this isnt a blatant ripoff of Steven Universe's Diamond Authority I swear-
Like with Krybolartarium, the Sovereignty attempted to threaten border Xymidication systems with destruction via Polyhex-classes, a strategy that once again failed to work due to word of the Polyhexes spreading throughout the other Milky Way nations. Though Eclipsia-24 had spread to parts of the Xymidication Empire, causing partial lockdowns and shutdowns, Xymidication still matched and even surpassed Garmageddon's space navy in subsequent battles thanks to its weapons of xymphorite, an exotic mineral with destructive properties. Xymidication ships destroyed thousands of Garmageddon ships including several Polyhex-classes via xymphorite lasers; during the Battle of the Jungle Moon of May 21, 2125, a small fleet of 40 Xymidication ships (led by one of the members of the Diamondite Authority, Yellow Diamondite) defeated a substantially larger Garmageddon fleet of 205 ships and liberated the Garmageddon colony moon of Stevonnia (nicknamed the "Jungle Moon" due to its vast rainforest-like regions of native plant life). Xymidication matched Garmageddon not only in military strength, but also willpower; like the tabulons, the Xymethystas believed in their own genetic superiority and subjected any captured tabulons to many of the same gruesome conditions the Garmageddon Sovereignty inflicted on non-tabulons.
The Omperion Plan's ship classes. From left to right: the Polyhex (for scale), Alexandru, Gherghescu, Kostlan, and Garrahan.
The Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon responded in kind. The Highmost Sovereign unleashed the next phase of the Ouroboros Contingency Plan - the Omperion Plan in order to expand the Garmageddon military enough to defeat Xymidication (overworking laborers and slaves even more in the process). The plan notably entailed the construction of four new planet-destroying ship classes based off the design of the Polyhex: the Alexandru (2.8 km), Gherghescu (3.3 km), Kostlan (4.1 km), and Garrahan-class (also 4.1 km) heavy battle cruisers. Thanks to not only the further increase of worker exploitation and new advancements in Garmageddon construction technology, but also the massive new slave force composed of captured Krybolartarian Lizards, the new Omperion Plan ships reached completion by just January 21, 2126 and were sent into battle not long after.
The new ships proved to be exceptionally effective in the war against Xymidication. The tide of the war quickly turned to Garmageddon's favor as hundreds of systems fell under the control of Garmageddon and the new Omperion Plan ships matched Xymidication's xymphorite lasers. Like with the Krybolartarium Lizards, any Xymethystas captured by Garmageddon were sentenced to forced labor under corporations and concentration camps, with some facing unethical experimentation or even death.
During one experiment involving enslaved Xymethystas, tabulon scientist Neprus Nerugol discovered that Xymethystas had the ability to fuse into a larger, more powerful, but less intelligent entity. They also discovered the Xymethystas' ability to survive in the vacuum of space for extended periods of time. The Highmost Sovereign quickly realized the immense potential benefits of this: the Garmageddon Sovereignty could create powerful war machines out of Xymethystas by fusing them without worrying about any revolts due to their lessened intelligence. Furthermore, since the weapons created would be composed of Xymethystas, the Xymidication Empire would have less incentive to fire upon them due to the act of doing so constituting as the murder of innocents.

As such, the Highmost Sovereign began another phase of the Ouroboros Plan, the Kristallnacht Empire Plan, on March 27, 2126. The plan involved the forced fusion of billions of captured Xymethystas into biologically-based starships, the largest of which being the Kristallnacht; these new bioships far oversized and overpowered conventional Garmageddon ships. These forced fusions caused horrendous pain to the Xymethystas involved and were seen as extremely unethical by both Xymidication and Garmageddon citizens, but the Garmageddon Sovereignty broke up any and all protests related to the Kristallnacht Empire Plan by massacring their participants using fasces.
Both the Omperion Plan's new Polyhex-based battle cruisers and the Kristallnacht Empire Plan's bioships allowed the Garmageddon Sovereignty to rapidly conquer Xymidication systems despite the Xymidication Empire's larger size. With Xymidication's ships hesitant to fire upon Kristallnacht Empire Plan bioships due to their composition of innocent Xymethysta civilians, Garmageddon invaded systems with extreme ease. The Sovereignty subjugated billions upon billions of Xymethystas and forcibly fused them into the bioship fleet as hundreds of dissident worlds formerly under Xymidication control found their surfaces burnt and destroyed by Alexandrus, Gherghescus, Kostlans, and Garrahans.
The Insiya destroys the Xymidication Homeworld.
On July 15, 2127, a Garmageddon fleet of 8100 ships (including the Kristallnacht itself, which had since grown to a size of 100 kilometers) entered the orbit of the Xymidication Homeworld. Facing little opposition from the Xymidication government due to their reluctance to kill captured Xymethystas, the Kristallnacht moved in to successfully destroy the fleet of 4096 Xymidication ships guarding the Homeworld. The Diamondite Authority surrendered to Garmageddon hours later, though like with Krybolartarium, Garmageddon disregarded the Diamondites' pleas for peace; on November 9-10, 2127, a Gherghescu-class battle cruiser known as the Insiya vaporized Xymidication's surface during what was known as the Night of Broken Glass. This nickname came about due to the shattered glass-like shards that littered the surface of the Xymidication Homeworld after Garmageddon destroyed its crystalline skyscrapers. The Homeworld's destruction did not, however, come without Garmageddon enslaving all Xymethystas (including the Diamondites) and integrating them into the Krystallnacht's fleet beforehand.
Gatlorimtis
Colonizing Xymidication gave the Garmageddon Sovereignty control of a second Drori artifact: Gatlorimtis, an immense 122 km spacecraft consisting of a large city built within a partially-excavated asteroid. Gatlorimtis not only carried dozens of guns with planet-destroying capabilities matching the Polyhex and the Omperion Plan ship classes, but also had the ability to disguise itself as a comet by erecting an artificial gas tail. This ability's strategic and tactical potential would prove to be useful during subsequent invasions of planets.
The former territory of the Xymidication Empire became the Rojo Court, with its capital being located around the M4V red dwarf star Rojo. The Highmost Sovereign appointed Neprus Nerugol as the sector's high lord for their efforts in the discovery of the Xymethystas' fusion ability.
Capitalist Uprising Plan and the Finolian-Garmageddon Cold War (2128-2129)[]
Political map of the Milky Way on January 1, 2128
After conquering Xymidication, the Garmageddon Sovereignty began planning an invasion of the Norma Arm. This was part of a strategic campaign to invade the regions surrounding the Galactic Core (inhabited by the Zanthe Republic) in the hopes of later invading Zanthe itself without having to take measures against opposing civilizations from the other spiral arms.
Flag of the People's Democratic Republic of Finolian
The authoritarian People's Democratic Republic of Finolian (based on the habitable moon Imperatiya) inhabited the Norma Arm at the time. Though both Finolian and Garmageddon practiced totalitarianism and wielded dictatorial power over their citizens, the two had opposing economic systems - Finolian had a socialist economy while Garmageddon had adopted a capitalist system. This set up the conflict between the two galactic nations long before they had even made physical contact with one another.
Despte their rivalry, the Garmageddon Sovereignty refrained from engaging in direct warfare with Finolian due to their military still being in the process of rebuilding its forces after the Krybolartarian and Xymidicatian wars. Instead, the Imperial Sovereignty chose to partake in a cold war; for one, they deliberately initiated civil unrest within the People's Republic in order to weaken it and destroy it from within - specifically, they decided to take advantage of the Finolian citizenry's lack of education (including knowledge of Garmageddon itself) due to government censorship and propaganda. In addition, they decided to boost military manufacturing to match the power of Finolian by even further overworking its slaves and low-class wage workers.
To this end, the Highmost Sovereign enacted the Capitalist Uprising Plan, the next in line of the Ouroboros Contingency Plan's many sub-plans, on February 1, 2128. As part of this plan, Garmageddon sent several disguised ships carrying Macbethist missionaries and Garmageddon propagandists into various Finolian-controlled systems. There, they converted billions of locals to Macbethism and revealed the true, opppressive nature behind the Finolian government. They also promoted ideals such as capitalism and libertarianism, garnering strong opposition to socialism among Finolian citizens. Though many of the criticisms of the Finolian government put forth by the tabulons were fact, they also gave many lies regarding their own, equally oppressive home country of Garmageddon. They portrayed the Sovereignty as a utopia of freedom, liberty, and individualism and promised the Finolian citizens a place in Garmageddon society if they overthrew the People's Democratic Republic of Finolian.
The plan proved itself effective when the converted Macbethists and capitalists launched what they called the Sarvin Rebellion (named after the leader of the missionaries, Sarvin Kerborigin) on May 9, 2128 (around a week after the missionaries had left due to threats from the Finolian government). This civil war greatly weakened the Finolian military as the rebels stole approximately $753.7 trillion worth of military equipment including guns, warships, and tanks and the government focused its remaining military on safeguarding loyal planets against the capitalist rebels.
Acutain
The Sarvin Rebellion allowed Garmageddon to eventually declare formal war against Finolian on June 12 that year. Working together with Sarvin rebels, the Sovereignty rapidly conquered Finolian territory and ruthlessly slaughtered any Finolian-allied government officials present on the claimed star systems or planets. Though the Finolian government fought back with its two owned Drori artifacts, the combined force of the Sarvin Rebellion and the Garmageddon Sovereignty quickly overpowered any fleets - some Finolian ship crews even announced their allegiance to the Sarvin Rebellion mid-battle and committed mutiny. Within just four months, the People's Democratic Republic of Finolian had lost 50% of its territory, with another 25% being conquered by December; in doing so, the Garmageddon Sovereignty gained control of the aforementioned Drori artifacts: the Acutain, a space station containing vast amounts of terraforming resources; and the Silisko, a large battle station with tentacle-like mechanical appendages which could capture enemy ships and integrate them into itself.
Silisko
After gaining control of essentially all Finolian systems save for the capital systems, a combined Garmageddon Sovereignty-Sarvin Rebellion fleet of 9800 entered orbit around Imperatiya on April 3, 2129. They quickly overpowered the local Finolian defense fleet and took control of the moon itself within a week, marking the final annexation of the People's Democratic Republic. Unlike with Krybolartarium and Xymidication, the Garmageddon fleet chose not to destroy Imperatiya in spite of the dozens of Polyhexes, Alexandrus, and Gherghescus populating its ranks. However, Finolian still saw the conversion of all of its former territory into an imperial province; the capital became the spectral type A8V star system Sarisius, with the sector being named the Sarisius Court. Sarvin Kerborigin rose up as its high lord.
Despite the Sarvin rebels' valiant efforts in overthrowing Finolian, however, Garmageddon quickly but subtly betrayed their newfound allies. The Sovereignty indeed granted the rebel Finolians Garmageddon citizenship, but provided them with little to no means to integrate themselves into Garmageddon society. Because of this, almost all of them were sentenced to hard, exploitative labor under speciesist tabulon masters while the rest often lost their lives to violent hate crimes and lynchings performed by tabulon supremacists. Garmageddon saw the Finolians' plight as a reflection of Social Darwinism and a normal trait of capitalism; the Sovereignty dismissed any complaints regarding the Sarvin rebels' working conditions as socialism and "sympathizing with the Finolian government". Even High Lord Kerborigin showed apathy towards the suffering of fir former allies.
Oveerion Plan and the Garmageddon Invasion of Zanthe (2130-2131)[]
Political map of the Milky Way on January 1, 2130
With the Kingdom of Sria being the only other nation sharing borders with the strategic galactic bulge, the Garmageddon Sovereignty wasted no time moving to invade the galactic bulge's native civilization, Zanthe.
Flag of the Republic of Zanthe
The Zanthe Republic, as mentioned before, dominated the Milky Way's galactic bulge. Unlike the previous civilizations, the native Zanthens exist as a fair democracy rather than an empire (like Krybolartarium or Zymidication) or a pseudo-democratic dictatorship (like Finolian).
On January 20, 2130, Garmageddon launched its first attack on Zanthe by making use of the newly-acquired Gatlorimtis. The Sovereignty utilized the spacecraft's comet disguise and sent it into orbit of the Zanthe home system, the Solunirea System, on a trajectory towards the Zanthe home planet of Zyzor. Though the Gatlorimtis successfully reached Zyzor, Zanthe ships took Garmageddon by surprise and fire artificial black holes at Gatlorimtis. Though the mobile fortress succeeded in escaping destruction from the black holes, the attack not only made Garmageddon's plans into invade Zanthe known to the entire galaxy, but also closed off any opportunities for Gatlorimtis to fire upon Zyzor and destroy it.
War formally began on February 4, with the Kingdom of Sria allying with Zanthe. Though Garmageddon controlled more stars than both Sria and Zanthe combined, the two nations' combined force was effective in halting the Sovereignty's expansion into the galactic bulge. Through numerous battles, Garmageddon lost an estimated 1,587 ships and 4,271 personnel to Sria's Drori artifacts and Zanthe's black hole-generating ships. Furthermore, the completion of a successful Eclipsia-24 vaccine prevented the Sovereignty from re-using its Krybolartarium strategy.
To combat the two enemy nations' efforts, Highmost Sovereign Kaywell not only deployed the Silisko into battle, but started a program to develop her own black hole generators: the Oveerion Plan, the following phase of the Ouroboros Contingency Plan. Garmageddon scientists, including some enslaved scientists from conquered civilizations, went to work investigating ways to generate artificial black holes. Despite the Sovereignty imposing measures to increase productivity from them, including the extension of their working hours to a full 24 hours and an outlawing of minimum wage requirements, the scientists failed to devise a successful black hole generator.
Garmageddon bosses and employers executed an estimated 66 million scientists on the orders of Urlum Eudae Kaywell due to their failure to meet the goals of the Oveerion plan. However, the capture of a Zanthe ship on June 25, 2130 allowed imperial scientists to seize and study its black hole generator. They discovered their core mechanism (compressing the surrounding interstellar matter into a miniature black hole) and handed the plans to engineers, who quickly set to work replicating these designs. Within just weeks, the Garmageddon Sovereignty saw the development of the first successful black hole generator (nicknamed the Oveerion Drive).

The military quickly went to work mass-producing Oveerion Drives. Due to their size and risk of instability, the military was forced to develop new star crusher classes to properly accomodate the drives. First came the Heavy Star Crushers, whose lengths ranged from 4.1 km to 7.2 km and included the Chelmno, Belzec, and Sobibor-classes. They reached completion and deployment during December of 2130. Next came the 8.0-12.5 km Super Star Crushers, which included the Autarch, Endgame, Treblinka, and Exorcist-class Star Crushers and reached completion during March of 2131. Last to be built were the Hyper Star Crushers, which reached lengths from 17.5 km to 22.5 km and included the Unstoppable, Doomsday, Imperator, and Birkenau-class Star Crushers. They reached completion and were deployed during August of 2131; three Imperator-class star crushers, the Imperator, Melania, and Rudyard Kipling became the new flagships of Ascraeus, Arsia, and Pavonis (who had all recently received the title of rei) respectively.

Armed with these new black hole-generating ships, Garmageddon's navy now matched both the Zanthe and Sria fleets in power. In succeeding battles, the Sovereignty successfully sucked in not only Zanthe Republic fleets, but also some planets. Thanks to the exceptionally large sizes of the heavy, super, and hyper star crushers, the tabulons' black holes took on a much larger diameter and longer lifespan compared to the Zanthens' black hole and defeated Zanthe military forces with ease. Furthermore, their large size offered a new mode of planetary destruction that not even the Zanthens discovered: using the black holes' gravity to destablize planetary orbits. The Sovereignty deliberately launched black holes into inhabited systems and disrupted the orbits of any orbiting planets with the black holes' gravity; this resulted in the deaths of billions as inhabited planets and moons either fell too close to their parent bodies' roche limit and broke apart; moved out of the habitable zone and ceased to carry liquid water on their surfaces; or were simply sucked into the black holes themselves. The small spacing between stars of the galactic bulge sometimes led to massive chain reactions where dozens of star systems found themselves disrupted by the journey of black holes.
The S.D. Locke Cannon
On November 26, 2131, various Oveerion Plan star crushers warped into almost all of the Zanthe Republic's remaining populated star systems. The Highmost Sovereign broadcast a galactic bulge-wide message threatening the destruction of every system in the Zanthe Republic if the Republic failed to surrender to Garmageddon within 24 hours. Eventually, the Republic's president, Zeta Zanthe, publicly announced their surrender three hours before the deadline, though this did not come without the destabilization of the nearby Zorul System after a small fleet of Sria Kingdom ships attempted to attack the stationed Endgame-class super star crusher.
Calystonia
By December 1st, the Garmageddon Sovereignty had converted the Zanthe Republic into the Larsha Court (centered at the A6V-type star Larsha), with all Zanthens being stripped of all their rights. The creation of the Larsha Sector also came with the acquisition of two of the Sria Kingdom's Drori artifacts. One was the Calystonia, a harp-like structure with an artifical star at its center; according to legends, its tune had the ability to give the user total control of all matter with a 10 light-year radius. The other artifact was the S. D. Locke Cannon, whose beam turned any star fired upon into an anomalous entity that would turn any lifeform (excluding the cannon's activators) exposed to said star's light (specifically, any starlight with wavelengths between 390 nanometers and 700 nanometers) into gelatinous entities that would heed any commands given by the cannon's activator.
Trans-Galactic Arm Plan and the Garmageddon Invasion of Sria (2132)[]
Political map of the Milky Way on January 1, 2132
Immediately after the conquest of Zanthe, Garmageddon set to work invading the Kingdom of Sria, the parliamentary monarchy inhabiting the other main arm of the Milky Way - the Scutum-Centarus Arm. The Highmost Sovereign declared the beginning of Ouroboros' next phase, the Trans-Galactic Arm Plan, to achieve this goal.
Flag of the Kingdom of Sria
Initially, the Sria Kingdom's dominant race, the firefly-like Floranias, attempted to peacefully negotiate with the tabulons due to being heavily outgunned and overpowered by the Garmageddon Sovereignty. They devised the Treaty of Cosmic Law and the Treaty of Cosmic Elections, which set up a democratic system for galactic control and set aside a small reservation in the Scutum-Centarus Arm as a Garmageddon-free space; the Sovereignty was allowed to claim all other parts of the Galaxy.
The Highmost Sovereign sent Arsia rei Tharsis to sign the two treaties on March 20, 2132. In reality, however, it was a deception; Arsia, under Urlum Eudae Kaywell's orders, simply used the treaty to secretly infect all of the attending Floranias with a special, quickly-evolving strain of Eclipsia called Eclipsia-32F. The virus killed all non-tabulon attendees within just days. Arsia's wester (equivalent of brother/sister for somale, a third sex unique to tabulons), Pavonis rei Tharsis, then formally announced Garmageddon's rejection of the treaty and its declaration of total war on Sria on March 27, 2132.
With much of its parliament dead and the new virus spreading rapidly, the Kingdom of Sria quickly crumbled against Garmageddon. Internal conflicts over leadership as well as the presence of a seemingly overwhelming set of threats severely weakened the once-powerful galactic nation. Its morale had already suffered greatly following the defeat of the Zanthe Republic less than a year earlier.
Sensius
Not wanting to risk the unnecessary deaths of more innocents in battles and skirmishes, the Floranias agreed to surrender to the tabulons on August 7 of that year. This effort proved futile - on August 11, the Highmost Sovereign declared the Floranias a useless species and ordered the quick and speedy extinction of the entire species in the Florania Exclusion Act. This effort proved highly successful; by the end of the year, the Garmageddon military had killed off 80% of the surviving Floranian population, with the remaining 20% being captured and sent to hard labor. In doing so, they also destroyed the Floranias' home planet, Hitria, via shot from a Polyhex.
Ganawil
Even before then, Garmageddon had converted all Srian territory into the Valia Court and appointed the binary star system Valia as its capital. The Sovereignty also gained two Drori artifacts: Sensius, a large cylindrical construct home to various advanced biological and medical labs which the tabulons would use to create biological weapons similar in nature to the Kristallnacht; and Ganawil, an artificial star which the tabulons would use to terraform cold planets.
Georgakas Capture Plan and the Garmageddon-Galaxy Police Skirmishes (2133)[]
Political map of the Milky Way on January 1, 2133
The conquest of Sria marked the point in time where Garmageddon officially gained control of half of all regions in the Milky Way Galaxy. This met the criteria for a galactic non-allied peacekeeping organization, the Galaxy Police, to intervene with the Sovereignty's expansionism.
Logo of the Galaxy Police
On February 4, 2133, Galaxy Police planet-destroying starships warped into orbit around critical Garmageddon star systems including Sarisius, Valia, Larsha, Irun, Rojo, and even Ingffhaestia itself. While doing so, they destroyed any and all naval starships in orbit of said systems, including several newly-built Omperion and Oveerion Plan ships. They threatened the total destruction of said systems if the Garmageddon Sovereignty did not comply with not only the Srians' two treaties (which the Galaxy Police had revived), but also a new act forcing Garmageddon to retreat from the Scutum-Centaurus Arm.
The Aborshine generating the black hole that would later destroy the Cervan System
Garmageddon refused and cleverly responded with the use of its Drori artifacts as well as other constructs. In the Irun System, the tabulon inhabitants improvised the Tayah Station as a battle station. They converted part of its endless energy supply into several precise beams that instantly destroyed all Galaxy Police ships stationed in the system. Meanwhile, in the Rojo System, the Gatlorimtis Station snuck up on the Galaxy Police ships and destroyed them, with the police failing to detect the station due to its cometary disguise. Meanwhile, in Larsha, the Kristallnacht and its bioship fleet fought against the Galaxy Police; due to the police's reluctance to fire upon a ship composed of innocent civilians, the Kristallnacht easily defeated them and disabled their system-destroying weapons. In the Valia System, the Valia Court's high lord warped the Calystonian Harp into the system and activated it, using its power to take control of the Galaxy Police ships' matter and disintegrating them. In Sarisius, the Silisko warped into the system and manufactured clones of the Galaxy Police's ships; these doppelganger ships snuck into the police's fleets and destroyed them from within. Finally, in Ingffhaestia itself, the sheer will of the citizens fostered by decades of propaganda and ultranationalism brought down the Galaxy Police ships. All crucial Garmageddon systems were liberated from Galaxy Police control by July 4, 2133; The Highmost Sovereign declared the establishment of a new national holiday called the Garmageddon Independence Day to celebrate this victory.
The use of the Calystonia in Valia allowed the Valian high lord to gain access to the brain matter of the Galaxy Police officers, and thus, all of their memories. This allowed the high lord to learn the location of the Galaxy Police headquarters: the planet Georgakas in the Cervan System (located in the tip of the Scutum-Centaurus Arm). Garmageddon wasted no time in eliminating the threat - on September 8, 2133, the Imperator-class hyper star crusher Aborshine spawned a black hole in the Cervan System which resulted in the total disruption of the Cervan planets' orbits. A Kostlan-class known as the Ezania also warped in and destroyed Georgakas for good measure. All of this was part of the Ouroboros Contingency Plan's Georgakas Capture Plan phase.
Cyclonic Doomsday Plan and the Garmageddon Invasion of Danulia (2134-2135)[]
Because the Galaxy Police was not an actual sovereign nation with territory, Garmageddon gained no new territory following the dissolution of the police in 2133.
After forcefully dissolving the Galaxy Police, the Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon immediately continued its expansionism.
Flag of the Federation of Danulia
This time, Garmageddon targeted the Outer Arm of the Milky Way and its inhabitants, the Danulian Federation. Besides being a typical democracy, Danulia practiced a unique religion called Giedrism, which involved the view of hurricanes and other tropical cyclones as the highest embodiments of evil.
The Sovereignty decided to take advantage of Giedrism in the next phase of Ouroboros, the Cyclonic Doomsday Plan. This new plan involved the use of Garmageddon's weather-manipulating space stations, the Telavation Devices, to heat up Danulian planets' oceans high enough to induce the formation of cataclysmic tropical cyclones.
In order to allow the Telavation Devices in, the Garmageddon Sovereignty conducted intense studies of the Gatlorimtis Station's comet-like disguise and imported it onto the Telavation Devices. They then warped Telavation Devices into the outer regions of crucial Danulia star systems under the guise of comets; the project reached completion by just January 20, 2134, with over 10,000 of the devices being deployed. Inside the systems, the devices made close passes to important habitable worlds, including Danulia (the Danulian homeworld) itself, where they secretly sent out large heat waves which increased planetary sea surface temperatures dramatically - up to 150°F (66°C) on some planets. Afterwards, they disappeared and warped into other systems, where they repeated the procedure.
Within months, extremely powerful hurricanes (including several hypercanes with winds exceeding 300 mph (485 km/h) formed in ocean basins across Danulian Federation-controlled planets; the strongest, Hurricane Devonius, reaching sustained winds of 595 mph (955 km/). The results of the Cyclonic Doomsday Plan not only spread turmoil among Giedrist followers, believing the high occurrence of hurricanes to be a sign of the end of the world, but also dealt severe damage to the Danulian economy and infrastructure; one storm, Hurricane Derevor, caused the equivalent of $14.7 trillion USD in damages along with nearly 1 billion fatalities.
On August 23, 2134, Garmageddon declared war on Danulia as its economy and culture continued to collapse under the brunt of the powerful tropical cyclones. Due to the hurricanes damaging critical military command outposts and centers, the Danulian government concentrating resources on recovery, and the citizenry devolving into a state of religious panic, Danulian space fleets had high difficulty in effectively defending Danulian planets and star systems. Within three months, 50% of all star systems in the Outer Arm had fallen under Garmageddon control, with Conquerators Miporia Ambali, Arein Nesme Atlas, Aras Kerolon, and Kasra rei Iphelia leading the highly-successful invasion.
On January 20, 2135, General Ambali's fleet of 2550 ships (including 485 Polyhex-classes, 308 Omperion Plan ships, 2 super star crushers, and an Unstoppable-class hyper star crusher) warped into orbit around Danulia, where they attempted to force the Danulian government to surrender. However, the Danulians responded by sending out their own powerful devices which created hurricane-like clouds of turbulent gas in space, which sent Ambali's fleet into disarray and destroyed 171 ships. As a counterattack, Garmageddon sent all of the high-ranking generals in the Order of Kerbos - Ferno, Bye, Aurus, Laevo, Jove, Lyrne, and Glacen rei Kerbos - into the battle while generals Atlas, Kerolon, and Iphelia sent small reinforcement fleets. But, Danulia utilized more of these hurricane devices (called Aeolia Drives) to not only make the Garmageddon ships lose control of their steering, but shut out their power and allow Danulian troops to send boarding parties into the ships.
As a last resort, Garmageddon utilized a new strategy - using the Telavation Devices as offensive weaponry. Rather than aiming their heat rays at entire planets, the Garmageddon fleet concentrated the rays on Danulia's ships and Aeolia Devices. This effort succeeded; Danulian ships quite literally overheated and melted, burning their occupants inside. The heat also rendered the Aeolia Devices unusable and harmless. Though other Danulian Federation ships soon moved in to match Garmageddon's newfound strength, the heat attack gave General Ambali enough time to fully charge his Unstoppable-class star crusher and threaten to destablize the entire Danulian System if they failed to surrender to Garmageddon. The arrival of Ascraeus rei Tharsis' fleet of 3795 added strength to Ambali's threats. Faced with over 6000 powerful ships, heat rays, and possible stellar destruction, the Danulians surrendered on July 14, 2135 after almost 6 months of on-and-off warfare.
The surrender of Danulia, as usual, meant the stripping of all fundamental rights from the Danulians. Garmageddon forcibly sent billions of the race out of their native home planets and into concentration camps, forced labor, slave plantations, laboratories, etc. The Sovereignty killed billions more as they destroyed an estimated 479 rebelling planets and star systems. Most notably, however, a mass persecution of Giedrists took place, with the Garmageddon Sovereignty resorting to brutal means such as genocide, burning Giedrists on crosses, stereotyping of Giedrists in propaganda, and forcing Giedrist children in "re-education" camps in order to suppress the religion and promote Macbethism.
Arelon
The conquest also meant the creation of a new court: the Olus Court, with the red giant star system of Olus becoming its capital and Miporia Ambali becoming its high lord. In addition, Garmageddon gained an addition Drori Artifact: the Arelon Station, a pyramid-shaped station which formed the source of Danulia's Aeolia Devices.
2135[]
Political map of the Milky Way on July 15, 2135
2135 marked two major events in Garmageddon history.
Beginning of the Apatelos Rebellion and the Apatelos Elimination Plan[]
On November 14, 2135, the enslaved human inhabitants of Limatian (a planet in the Epsilon Indi System, since renamed the Apatelos System following its annexation into Garmageddon) rose up against their tabulon masters, drove them away, and declared their planet independent.
Initially, the Garmageddon Sovereignty responded the way it usually did with rebellions: planetary destruction via a Polyhex-class. Though a Polyhex-class, the Apophis, succeeded in rendering Limatian uninhabitable, the leader of the so-called Apatelos Rebellion, Macia Mallory, survived the initial attack and resumed their rebellion with increased fervor. In response, the Highmost Sovereign drafted a new plan, the Apatelos Elimination Plan, to crush the Apatelos Rebellion.
Its first phase, the Apatelos Capture Plan, occurred within late 2135 and entailed the capture of Macia Mallory and their closest allies. Garmageddon attempted to accomplish this by sending a fleet of 507 ships into the Apatelos System and searching for their ship. Though they succeeded in finding Mallory's fleet, Mallory quickly defeated the fleet along with all other Uingffhian ships in the Apatelos System.
World Devastator Plan and the Garmageddon Invasion of Kerbol[]
Flag of the Kerbol Union
At the same time as the beginning of the Apatelos Elimination Plan, Garmageddon launched the next phase of the Ouroboros Plan - the World Devastator Plan - in order to invade the newly-discovered Kelios Spur region of the Milky Way and its inhabitants, the Kerbol Union, which consisted of a loose union between various alien races similar to the Ingffhaestian Federation pre-Kalgamania. One particular race, the Kerbals, formed the de facto leaders of the Kerbol Union.
Due to the need to manage Garmageddon's vast territories and the rather small size of the Kerbol Union's territory, the Garmageddon Sovereignty utilized automated world-destroying machines rather than manned naval ships to conquer the Union. During August of 2135, the Sovereignty sent out the first ever AI-driven ships - the Majdanek-class heavy star crushers - into the Kelios Spur. The Majdaneks, along with several other smaller ship classes refitted to be captained by artificial intelligence, initially proved highly effective in subjugating the Kerbol Union and its various member civilizations. However, during the October 27 Battle of Ciro, Kerbol Union troops performed a large-scale hack of the World Devastator Plan ships' AI systems, disabling most of them and bringing catastrophic losses to Garmageddon.
The Star Eravade vaporizes the surface of Kerbin.
In response, Garmageddon sent fleets led by actual tabulons - namely Sarnus Robau Kaywell and Neidon Galileo Kaywell, the Highmost Sovereign's two siblings. This new threat very quickly subdued the Kerbol Union's short-lived burst of confidence following the Battle of Ciro. In the December 24 Battle of Kerbol, Sarnus Robau Kaywell defeated all ships and military outposts in the Kerbals' home system, the Kerbol System, before reaching the Kerbal homeworld of Kerbin a day later. The Kerbol Union surrendered in the face of the newly-arrived fleet of 7504 even before any fighting began; nonetheless, Sarnus' flagship, the Garrahan-class Star Eravade, destroyed Kerbin that day.
December 25, 2135 marked the formal dissolution of the Kerbol Union and its conversion into the Keldaria Court, with the K4V star Keldaria and its large planetary system of 18 planets becoming its capital. As with the other conquests, the conquest of the Kelios Spur meant the loss of rights for all Kerbols and other Kerbol Union species; many were reduced to slaves conducting forced labor while others were simply killed or tortured. Garmageddon ships failed to find any Drori artifacts in the Kelios Spur.
Daybreak Plan, Non-Tabulon Elimination Plan, and the Garmageddon Invasion of Nera Nelinis (2136-2137)[]
Political map of the Milky Way on January 1, 2136
Though Garmageddon expeditions into the Kelios Spur failed to discover new artifacts or space stations left behind by the Drori race, they did discover a new galactic spur, the Nova Spur, in February of 2136. Immediately, the Imperial Sovereignty set out to colonize the spur and all star systems housed in it.
Flag of the Dominion of Nera Nelinis
However, as with other galactic regions, an advanced alien society already inhabited the Nova Spur: the Dominion of Nera Nelinis, which contained a union of several alien species similar to the Kerbol Union as well as a parliamentary monarchical government similar to the Srian Kingdom's. Like with the other civilizations, Garmageddon completely disregarded the Nera Nelinians' claim to the Nova Spur and began colonizing dozens of systems along the fringe of the Dominion's territory, ruthlessly slaughtering or torturing any native inhabitants of colonized planets. This marked the beginning of the Garmageddon-Nera Nelinis War.
In order to conquer Nera Nelinis quickly and efficiently, the Garmageddon Sovereignty initially attempted to send spies into the Dominion and generate politcal unrest between the Dominion's two political parties, the religious conservative Sarventists and the far-left Ruvists. However, not only did Nera Nelinis quickly discover the Garmageddon spies, but also the Sarventists and Ruvists showed unexpected cooperation and unity in fighting against a common enemy, Garmageddon.
Garmageddon's military conquests also saw challenges as Nera Nelinian ships began to fight back against the Sovereignty. Due to having received intel on the Sovereignty from other (now-conquered) galactic superpowers such as Krybolartarium or Sria, the Nera Nelinian Dominion had placed effective countermeasures against the Garmageddon's weapons such as shields blocking against the planet-destroying beams of the Polyhex and similar ships, precise anti-black hole cannons to counter against heavy, super, and hyper star crushers built during the Oveerion Plan, etc. They had even built sensors with the ability to distinguish the Gatlorimtis Fortress from actual comets, rendering Gatlorimtis' comet disguise unusable against Nera Nelinis.
However, Highmost Sovereign Urlum Eudae Kaywell had anticipated this, which was why she had kept certain weapons such as the S.D. Locke Cannon secret. She finally unleashed the cannon against Nera Nelinis under the supervision of weapons director Holleanas Tarrant as an emergency measure on April 20, 2136, marking the beginning of the Ouroboros Contingency Plan's eleventh phase: the Daybreak Plan.
The S.D. Locke Cannon saw its first test around five days later, where it warped into the Nera Nelinis-controlled binary star system of Nerin-Nires. There, it fired upon one of its components, the K-type main sequence star Nerin, causing it to turn a reddish hue as predicted by Drori log entries of the device. Also as predicted, all non-tabulon lifeforms in the Nerin-Nires System exposed to Nerin's visual light experienced transformations into gelatinous zombie-like organisms that swore allegiance to Garmageddon and endeavored to bring other Nera Nelinians into Nerin's light. With that, the Nera Nelinis fleet around Nerin-Nires quickly fell under Garmageddon control and the tide of the war began to turn in favor of the Garmageddon Sovereignty.
In addition to Nerin, the S.D. Locke Cannon also fired upon Nerin's binary companion, the L-type brown dwarf Nires, as a test. No changes occurred to the brown dwarf and no Nera Nelinians experienced melting upon contact with Nires' light. Tarrant and other Garmageddon weapons scientists concluded that the cannon only worked on stars of spectral type M and above.
Though Holleanas Tarrant mysteriously went missing on May 12, 2136, the Garmageddon Sovereignty continued to win large amounts of victories against Nera Nelinis as the S.D. Locke Cannon converted thousands of stars into red forms, incapacitating trillions of Nera Nelinians in the process. Transformed Nera Nelinians worked alongside tabulons in capturing thousands of Nera Nelinian natives and forcing them into the light of converted stars, turning them into gelatinous forms. Garmageddon weapons researchers continued Tarrant's work and eventually mounted successful replicas of the S.D. Locke Cannon onto conventional Garmageddon ships, giving them the same supernatural capabilities of the S.D. Locke Cannon itself. By March 12, 2137, the S.D. Locke Cannon and its replicas had converted all crucial Nera Nelinis systems - the Neros, Neseb, Neserus, Narol, Nelion, Nursim Kejor, Nela, Nevar, Niron, Neol, Nerus, and Nirxim Systems - into red forms and melted 90% of the Nera Nelinian Dominion's population. (While doing so, the Garmageddon Sovereignty tested out the cannons on the black hole N-1, the pulsar Neragel, and the white dwarf Nirxim. The cannons successfully converted Neragel and Nirxim, but not N-1, showing that the cannons have no effect on black holes. Garmageddon scientist Neprus Nerugol attributed this to the fact that black holes do not emit light. Some rogue Nera Nelinians attempted to take refuge around brown dwarfs and black holes, but converted Nera Nelinians quickly captured them and had their tabulon masters forcibly expose them to the red light of converted main sequence stars.)
Bondora
Roughly a month later, the Holleanas - a Belzec-class super star crusher named in honor of Tarrant and armed with replica S.D. Locke Cannons - warped into the capital of the Dominion, the quadruple star system Nessus. As with the previous enemy civilizations, the Garmageddon fleet in Nessus ignored all pleas for peaceful surrender or compromise from Nera Nelinis and fired upon all four stars in the Nessus System, turning them red and converting all Nera Nelinians (including their royal family and parliament) into gelatinous organisms exercising fanatical loyalty to Garmageddon. With all native alien races subservient to Garmageddon, tabulons (who, as mentioned before, were immune to the effects of the S.D. Locke Cannons) quickly settled the Nova Spur. The Garmageddon Sovereignty converted the Dominion's former territory into the Virvnius Court and designated the K-type star Virvnius and its large 16-planet system as its capital. Two Drori artifacts - the Bondora (a sword-shaped ship with the ability to slice celestial bodies into pieces) and the Ogdensia (a unique device with the ability to undo planet destruction) were also discovered; Garmageddon hid the Ogdensia away in a top-secret location in order to prevent enemy civilizations and races from obtaining it and using it to restore destroyed homeworlds such as Krybolartarium or Xymidication. Even to this day, its location remains completely unknown.
Ogdensia
At the same time as the war with Nera Nelinis, Garmageddon launched the second phase of the Apatelos Elimination Plan, the Non-Tabulon Elimination Plan, into effect. The plan entailed the systematic genocide of all non-tabulons (excluding those used seen as crucial to Garmageddon, such as the converted Nera Nelinians and the Xymethystas making up the Kristallnacht Plan fleet) in an effort to weed out Macia Mallory. The Sovereignty agreed to grant all non-tabulons citizenship status if Mallory turned themselves in and threatened to kill all non-tabulons if they failed to surrender within five days. Mallory failed to turn themselves in within the five-day period even after the Sovereignty allowed for a 2-day grace period, resulting in the commencement of the Great Milky Way Genocide. Trillions of non-tabulons already living oppressed lives under tabulon masters were rounded up by Sovereignty troops and slowly and painfully executed in public spaces; punishments included burning on the stake, being skinned alive, dismemberment, being pinned to a burning cross, mass shootings of infants and children, etc. An estimated 257 trillion non-tabulon individuals died during the Genocide, likely even more due to the fact that Garmageddon heavily censored information regarding the killings in the days, months, and years following the incident.
Garmageddon Invasion of Isoia-Urdenmark (2138-2142)[]
Political map of the Milky Way on January 1, 2138
Following the conquest of the Dominion of Nera Nelinis, the Garmageddon Sovereignty chose the New Outer Arm region of the Milky Way as its next target for colonization.
Flag of the Imperium of Isoia-Urdenmark
The Imperium of Isoia-Urdenmark inhabited the New Outer Arm at the time. Unlike the previous nations, Isoia-Urdenmark was inhabited by tabulons - Isoia-Urdenmark was descended from a group of 1000 tabulon refugees who had escaped to the New Outer Arm via an experimental warp drive in 2084 in a successful attempt to flee the Kalgamanian Empire.
Initially, the Sovereignty treated Isoia-Urdenmark with respect due to their tabulon population. They offered the Imperium a place as a tributary empire of Garmageddon along with special privileges granting increased independence if the Isoia-Urdenmark tabulons agreed to support and tolerate Garmageddon. However, Isoia-Urdenmark's two rulers, Anca Isoia and Iztec Urdenmark, rejected the proposal, citing how Garmageddon had transformed into a regime just as, if not even more oppressive than the Earth-Kalgamanian Empire, the very nation the Isoia-Urdenmark ancestors fled.
Because of this, Isoia-Urdenmark and Garmageddon went to war on January 3, 2138. As usual, the Garmageddon Sovereignty attacked first, but Isoia-Urdenmark managed to hold their own for several years thanks to its large, powerful ships and the battle prowess of Admiral Nexus Obingar, the military official appointed by Anca and Iztec to oversee the war against Garmageddon. The Isoia-Urdenmark-Garmageddon War would grow into Garmageddon's longest, most complex invasion in its history.
First and Second Battles of Noctavias (2138)[]
Initially believing the Imperium to be an easy conquest and desiring to conserve military resources/assets, Urlum Eudae Kaywell sent a conventional fleet into Imperium Territory. Conquerator Rigel rei Orionis and his fleet of 490 attacked the strategic Isoia-Urdenmark system of Noctavias in the February 2138 Battle of Noctavias. The battle, however, proved to be a crushing blow to Garmageddon when 217 of the 514 Isoia ships led by Admiral Obingar managed to collectively create a single, composite beam. The powerful beam destroyed 240 of the 490 ships led by Rigel rei Orionis. In addition, the chaos within the Garmageddon fleet left behind by the beam's strike allowed Obingar to destroy another 90 Sovereignty ships. By the battle's end in April 2138, losses totaled 250 Isoia ships and 330 Garmageddon ships.
In response, Urlum sent a second, much larger fleet of 3070 led by Conquerator Betelgeuse rei Orionis in May of 2138, marking the beginning of the Second Battle of Noctavias. Unlike the first fleet led by Rigel, the second fleet contained numerous weapons replicated from Drori artifacts such as the S.D. Locke Cannon. This new fleet quickly overpowered the Noctavias fleet despite their higher firepower and larger ship sizes when Betelgeuse's flagship, the Alpha Orionis, fired its replice S.D. Locke Cannon at the Noctavian parent star, causing not only all Isoia-Urdenmark forces, but also billions of innocent Noctavias citizens (including millions of children and infants) to undergo the same gruesome biological transformations the Nera Nelinians suffered. On June 1, 2138, Noctavias officially fell under Garmageddon control.
Four Failures (2139-2140)[]
Though the Garmageddon Imperial Sovereignty won an impressive military victory in the Second Battle of Noctavias, four consecutive losses followed their triumph as Isoia-Urdenmark endeavored to enact vengeance on the Sovereignty for effectively massacring the inhabitants of Noctavias. These four battles are collectively nicknamed the Four Failures and were highly successful for Isoia-Urdenmark due to their spies and troops gathering extensive intel and information on crucial Garmageddon weapons, such as Gatlorimtis. The Four Failures period also marked the creation of a shield around the Isoia-Urdenmark capital system of Urden that prevented both the S.D. Locke Cannon and the Calystonia from entering and interfering with the system.
First, in the January 13, 2139 Battle of Helonika, Admiral Obingar surprised the Garmageddon fleet with an advanced replica of Gatlorimtis, the Omperios. During the battle, the Omperios snuck up on a large Garmageddon fleet defending the Outer Arm planet Helonika. The Omperios destroyed or captured all Garmageddon ships in the system and liberated Helonika, allowing Danulian refugees in.
The second battle occurred near the gas giant planet of Jalos, home to 7 moons, on June 30, 2139. An Isoia-Urdenmark flank fleet of 325 ships surprise-attacked a fleet of 200 Garmageddon troop transports (which included 15 Omperion Plan warships). In what was known as the Inutulia massacre (named after the nearby moon, Inutulia), the fleet ruthlessly massacred all 215 ships and killed over 20 million Garmageddon-allied tabulons.
The third battle, called the Uvix Offensive for Nexus' flagship, the 600 km-long Osteros-class system devastator Uvix, occurred from July 23 to September 27, 2140 when Garmageddon attempted to destroy one of two space stations responsible for generating the Urden System's shield. There, Garmageddon's attack fleet of 100 ships of various classes (including an Exorcist-class super star crusher, the Beldam captained by Hikari Sandalphon) won against the small defense fleet of 20 Isoia-Urdenmark ships, but Admiral Nexus Obingar surprised them near the second station with the Uvix. He defeated 25 ships including the Beldam within two hours, causing Sandalphon's forces to flee shortly after. However, Garmageddon secretly sent a Polyhex-class to the first station and destroyed it, allowing a small corvette (a Christo-class) to infiltrate Urden and examine the Urden System's defenses. The ship found out that a second shield existed within the first anti-Calystonia/S.D. Locke barrier with four space stations powering it.
The fourth battle, Garmageddon's third straight defeat, was the August 26, 2140 Battle of the Capital Ships, where the Imperator-class Kartizan challenged the Isoia-Urdenmark ship Kilonis, a 30 km-long Telinis-class star devastator, when the two stumbled upon each other in interstellar space. Initially, the Kartizan overpowered the Kilonis and killed an estimated 570 of its personnel. However, the Imperium dreadnought unexpectedly rammed the Kartizan, destroying it and disabling all of its escort ships. The escort ships carried thousands of non-tabulon prisoners on board, and the Kilonis' sacrifice allowed them to neutralize the Kartizan fleet's tabulon crew and escape Garmageddon's clutches.
In addition to the Four Failures, a fifth battle that resulted in a draw still gave Garmageddon heavy losses. On November 20, 2140, a fleet of 500 Garmageddon ships laid siege to the Alornos Sector of the New Outer Arm in the Great Battle of Alornos of late 2140. Though Garmageddon managed to gain control of the sector, imprisoning its inhabitants and massacring 7.79 billion civilians in the process, the Alornos governor-general notified Nexus Obingar, who sent a reinforcement fleet of 600 to take back the Alornos sector on November 23, 2140. However, a group of Garmageddon-allied tabulons found out about the approaching fleet and notified the main Garmageddon Sovereignty fleet in Alornos, allowing them to prepare. The two arrived and began the Battle of the Free Isoians, or the Battle of Hunloronix (named for a gas giant near the battle's location). The Gherghescu-class Antonia threatened to destroy the Alornos capital planet, Asclepius, before the battle, but a 1 km-long Imperium ship sacrificed itself by colliding with the Antonia at high speeds, dealing critical damage to its Oveerion drive and guns. However, the Antonia's admiral managed to escape to the nearby Alexandru-class Victra and resumed the battle. By the end of the battle, 250 Isoia-Urdenmark ships and 265 Garmageddon ships were destroyed. They withdrew on December 2, 2140, and the Isoia-Urdenmark forces temporarily reclaimed the Alornos sector.
Black Hole Resurgence Plan and the Three Triumphs (2141-2142)[]
Shortly after the Four Failures, the Garmageddon Sovereignty took the threat of Isoia-Urdenmark more seriously and sent much more powerful forces into the New Outer Arm. These extremely powerful fleets strongly overpowered Isoia-Urdenmark's and brought about three significant Garmageddon victories known as the Three Triumphs.
The first Garmageddon triumph was the Phora Uprising of January 2141, which occurred in the location of Jalos and Inutulia: the Phora System. There, Garmageddon propagandists sent after the Four Failures used Isoia-Urdenmark's victory and subsequent massacre to their advantage, citing the Inutulia Massacre as evidence that Isoia-Urdenmark-allied tabulons were inherently savage, bloodthirsty, and overall on the same level of inferiority as non-tabulons. As part of this propaganda campaign, the Imperial Sovereignty concocted a highly pseudo-scientific genetic definition of an Isoia-Urdenmark Tabulons: Any tabulon that had a skin/fur color of dark green or blue, as said colors made up the largest fraction of the Imperium's population. On January 6, an army of Inutulian non-dark green/blue tabulons with Garmageddon-sympathetic views began storming towards Inutulia's legislative building while murdering any dark green or dark blue tabulon they encountered that did not swear allegiance to Garmageddon. By the end of the day, the mob had killed Inutulia's Isoia-Urdenmark rulers along with 2.2 billion other innocent civilians. The Inutulia riot started even more violent uprisings across not only the other moons of Jalos, but also every planet in the Phora System, resulting in another 18 billion deaths by January 17. The Phora Uprising set the stage for Garmageddon ships to take over Isoia-Urdenmark's Phora Sector and for the Garmageddon government to more effectively garner public antagonism towards the Isoia-Urdenmark Imperium.
Black Hole Revectorio
The second victory occurred during the Destruction of Urden. It began when Garmageddon astronomers discovered a large stellar-mass black hole, Revectorio, passing near the Urden System and disrupting its shields. The Highmost Sovereign noted how Isoia-Urdenmark was unable to destroy Revectorio unlike the black holes generated by Garmageddon's Oveerion Drives (which Imperium ships easily destroyed). Thus, she devised a new phase of the Ouroboros Plan, the Black Hole Resurgence Plan, to take advantage of Revectorio and invade the Isoia-Urdenmark's capital. On February 11, 2141, several super and hyper star crushers warped into the space immediately outside of the Urden System and its shield. Though the Isoia-Urdenmark defense fleet quickly shot them down, the sacrificial fleet managed to spawn enough black holes to alter Revectorio's trajectory into a path taking it directly into the Urden System. Within hours, the black hole had destroyed Urden's shields and had begun absorbing planets within the Urden System itself. In what was known as the Revectorio Massacre, Revectorio killed billions of Isoia-Urdenmark citizens as it destroyed countless inhabited planets in the system. An estimated 13 billion Isoia-Urdenmark tabulons died within the first day of the massacre alone; by March 1, Revectorio had killed all 31 billion inhabitants of the Urden System and had destroyed all of its planets including both of its capital planets, Isoia and Urdenmark. Anca Isoia and Iztec Urdenmark successfully fled the system as the black hole destroyed it, but the Alpha Orionis later confronted their fleet and killed both leaders along with their 772,000 Urden refugees. Urlum Eudae Kaywell, while watching footage of the destruction of the Urden System, notably said "Run, Iztec, run! You are only delaying the inevitable!"
The third victory marked the fall of Isoia-Urdenmark itself: The 2142 Great Battle of Isoia-Urdenmark. On January 1, 2142, the Imperium had elected Nexus Obingar as its new leader following the murders of Anca, Iztec, and all other leader candidates. Obingar mounted one last a final, massive assault against Garmageddon, utilizing all 1.5 million remaining ships of the Isoia-Urdenmark navy in a desparate attempt to regain their former advantage in the war - an attempt that completely and utterly failed.
Garmageddon strategically countered Isoia-Urdenmark's large, powerful battleships with smaller, more agile cruisers and corvettes; these small ships' weapons easily targeted Obingar's ships due to their large size and quickly brought them down. By the beginning of June, the Sovereignty's ships had destroyed over 90% of the Imperium's forces. With most of Obingar's forces gone, the Imperial Sovereignty changed its focus to the systematic genocide of all Isoia-Urdenmark tabulons. Up to 215 million Polyhex-classes, Omperion Plan ships, star crushers, and even Drori artifacts soon replaced the small, fast ships involved in the war; this new, massive fleet began invading and/or destroying swaths of thousands of star systems, with an estimated 12 trillion Isoia-Urdenmark tabulons dying within the first 30 days. Many influential Garmageddon military officers, such as the Tharsis siblings and the grandmasters of several orders, also arrived to oversee the brutal conquest.
Zilium
Despite their overwhelming advantage, Garmageddon still experienced some difficulty in conquering the Imperium's systems due to their shields which resisted the effects of Drori artifacts. However, this changed on December 24, 2142, when two fleets led by General Sentar Kraglathea and Arsia rei Tharsis discovered the source of the Imperium's anti-Drori artifact technology: Zilium, a unique Drori artifact with the power to nullify the abilities of all other Drori artifacts. The remnants of Admiral Obingar's fleet, including the Uvix itself, had stationed themselves near Zilium. Combat between Obingar and the Kraglathea-Arsia fleets ensued for around 1 hour before Obingar's fleet, having suffered heavy losses, abruptly began warping away. Arsia famously mirrored Urlum's words and remarked, "Run, Nexus, run! You are only delaying the inevitable!" Obingar's fate went unknown for the rest of the Garmageddon Sovereignty's history, and Garmageddon forces failed to sight the admiral's fleet in the Milky Way.
With the discovery and acquisition of the Zilium, Garmageddon quickly battled past Isoia-Urdenmark's shields and invaded the rest of the New Outer Arm. As quadrillions of Isoia-Urdenmark tabulons were tortured, killed, or sent into slavery in Garmageddon-controlled systems, Garmageddon fleets used a wide variety of methods - destruction via Polyhexes or Omperion Plan ships, system destabilization via black holes, stellar conversion via S.D. Locke Cannons, etc. - to invade the remaining systems in the Imperium's territory. On December 25, 2142, the Sovereignty officially declared the dissolution of the Imperium of Isoia-Urdenmark and the formation of the Oirator Court, with the F8V-type star Oirator's planetary system becoming the court's capital.
Also notable during the Three Triumphs period was the passage of Order 10066 by Urlum Eudae Kaywell herself on February 17, 2141. Under the order, Kaywell authorized the GIAF to force trillions of tabulons of Uveerian (dark green fur) and Liyrian (dark greenish blue fur) descent into isolated internment camps on the justification that their race made them possible suspects of being Isoia-Urdenmark spies. The internment camps often had harsh living conditions along with strict, abusive guards; within the first month alone, an estimated 2.7 million died in the camps. After the Phora Uprising and the subsequent creation of the Isoia-Urdenmark tabulon as a racial category, the internment camps converted themselves into full-on concentration/extermination camps which either forced the captive Uveerians and Liyrians into coerced labor or killed them outright. Even after the war’s end, the Sovereignty continued to persecute and oppress dark green and dark blue tabulons regardless of their affiliation.
With the fall of Isoia-Urdenmark, Garmageddon had successfully conquered the entire Milky Way Galaxy. The Ouroboros Contingency Plan had finally reached its completion.
Shortly after the Imperium's demise, Urlum Eudae Kaywell held a massive banquet and officially renamed the Milky Way to the Ouroboros Galaxy. During the celebration, she gave a famous victory speech mirroring the speech given after the Redemption.
This speech has been translated from Natil, the national language of Garmageddon, to English. Some translation errors may exist.
Attention, entire galaxy! Lend me all of your senses and submit to none but me. I am Urlum Eudae Kaywell, Highmost Sovereign of the Garmageddon Sovereignty and your one and only ruler. All galactic arms have surrendered to me; and the Krybolartarium Empire, Xymidication Empire, Finolian Republic, Zanthe Republic, Srian Kingdom, Danulian Federation, Kerbol Union, Nera Nelinian Dominion, and Isoia-Urdenmark Imperium are all under my control. If a single planet dares to oppose my rule, they shall face the devastating wrath of all the Garmageddon Sovereignty has to offer. The Polyhex-class battle cruisers. The many ships built as part of the Omperion Plan. The Kristallnacht. The star crushers. The S.D. Locke Cannons. The countless Drori artifacts. They shall share the fate of the Galaxy Police - eradicated, their home system permanently destabilized. No one has even a single percent of the ability to topple the overwhelming might of the Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon.
Starting at this day... Starting at this moment... the universe belongs to me.Urlum Eudae Kaywell
Globular Imperium Plan and the Garmageddon Invasion of the Globular Clusters (2143)[]
Political map of the Ouroboros Galaxy on January 1, 2143
Though Garmageddon had conquered the entire galaxy, Apatelos Rebellion activity persisted and, in fact, had begun to increase during and following the war with Isoia-Urdenmark. However, with the Ouroboros Plan concluded, the Sovereignty was now able to direct more attention and resources into the Apatelos Elimination Plan.
During April of 2143, reports began to surface of Macia Mallory and their allies residing in the numerous globular clusters in the Ouroboros Galaxy's galactic halo. In response to these rumors, Urlum Eudae Kaywell initiated the third phase of the Apatelos Elimination Plan, the Globular Imperium Plan.
As the plan's name suggested, Kaywell sent out Garmageddon fleets to subjugate all globular clusters in the Ouroboros Galaxy in the hopes of capturing Mallory. Since aged, low-metal stars such as red giants made up most of the stars in the globular clusters, the Sovereignty seldom found any native species to subjugate; when they did, they threatened destruction and torture if the species failed to give intel on the location of Macia Mallory. Often times, even when the civilization gave information, the Sovereignty decided to carry out genocides of said civilizations anyway in order to gain access to their resources. An estimated 1.3 trillion died within the first month of the Globular Imperium Plan, with trillions more being forced out of their native star systems in order to make way for tabulon colonists.
By the end of 2143, all 150 globular clusters in the vicinity of the Milky Way had fallen under the control of the Garmageddon Sovereignty, with the Globular Imperium Plan leaving at least 187 trillion dead and all other native denizens of the clusters displaced and sent to Garmageddon's forced labor plants, concentration camps, laboratories, etc. Despite this, the Sovereignty failed to seize Mallory and only succeeded in capturing a handful of low-ranking Apatelos rebels. But still, the public and government officials viewed the colonization of the globular clusters as highly positive and profitable, as it gave the Sovereignty and its corporations thousands of planets to settle on, mine for resources, and exploit.
Yorgos Plan (2144-2145)[]
Political map of the Ouroboros Galaxy on January 1, 2144
Following the invasions of the globular clusters and its failure to capture Mallory, Highmost Sovereign Kaywell reasoned that the rumors pertaining to Mallory's location were, in fact, a trick in order to buy the Apatelos Rebellion time to gather strength in the main parts of the Milky Way. The increasing rate of the Apatelos Rebellion's successful attacks and technological advancement supported this deduction. As such, Garmageddon responded in kind by outpacing the rebellion's advancement through the next phase of the Apatelos Elimination Plan in 2144: the Yorgos Plan.
The Yorgos Plan (named after the largest planet thus far discovered by Garmageddon, the gas giant Yorgos) entailed the creation of a new, inconceivably powerful type of star crusher: the Mega Star Crusher, which dwarfed even hyper star crushers in size and power. These new star crushers not only served as physical weapons, having tens of thousands of artillery on their hulls along with numerous advanced Oveerion Drives; but also psychological weapons, with the Sovereignty using their fearsome size, black hull paint, and red lighting to intimidate the Apatelos rebels into submission.
A team of engineers supervised by Pavonis rei Tharsis designed four classes of mega star crusher: The 25 km-long Apocalypse-class, the 26.5 km-long Armageddon-class, the 29.5 km-long Punishment-class, and the 31.5 km-long Glorious-class.
In order to gather the necessary labor to produce these massive ships, Garmageddon not kidnapped billions of non-tabulon slaves, but also conscripted billions more ordinary tabulon citizens to the shipyards around Yorgos. Though this effort allowed Garmageddon to complete the first mega star crusher, the Apocalypse, by just June 6, 2144; the laborers suffered under brutal treatment from overseers, no breaks, disease-filled working environments, and miniscule pay. An estimated 7.8 billion - over 50% of those sent to work in the shipyards - died by the Apocalypse's completion.
After the first few ships of all four classes reached completion on January 4, 2145, the Garmageddon Sovereignty wasted no time sending them into battle. The sheer size and power of the ships caused many enemies to simply surrender before combat even began; for example, during the major Apatelos-led Fersolia Uprising in the Valia System, the mere rumor of a Punishment-class heading to Valia caused the entire uprising to collapse on itself. In the end, despite criticism from some government officials viewing the mega star crushers as a needless waste of resources, the Yorgos Plan ships proved highly effective in suppressing civil unrest.
Revectorio Crisis[]
With the Apatelos Rebellion mostly neutralized at the time (though Macia Mallory continued to evade capture), the Sovereignty shifted its focus to an impending crisis in the newly-claimed Oirator Court.
Revectorio, the black hole used to destroy the Isoia-Urdenmark capital system, had begun heading towards the Oirator System, the court's capital. Initially, artificial black holes generated by the Oirator defense fleet's star crushers successfully steered away Revectorio. However, on January 4, 2146, Revectorio unexpected performed a Thegasia Drive-like warp and teleported into the outer Oirator System.
There, Revectorio began to wreak havoc on the system, which was still in the process of being settled and industrialized. Though it did not venture into the inner Oirator System where its seven planets orbited, it did disrupt the system's outer comet belt and send thousands of comets into the inner system. This led to widespread death and destruction as the disrupted celestial objects impacted inhabited planets over a period of nearly one month. One comet, 738 Nelupt, hit the populous city of Isard on the planet of Iage on January 6; though 738 Nelupt was too small to cause a mass extinction event, it did completely destroy Isard, killing 107,700 and causing $1.4 trillion in economic losses.
The destruction of Isard prompted the Garmageddon Sovereignty to perform a mass evacuation of the Oirator System - the first such even in Garmageddon's entire history. However, they only evacuated wealthy, influential tabulons - Garmageddon deliberately left lower/working-class tabulons and non-tabulon slaves to die in an attempt to use the crisis to Garmageddon's advantage, an effort which succeeded. On January 18, Revectorio unexpectedly split a small part of itself out; this smaller, split black hole ventured into the inner Oirator System and into the orbit of the habitable zone gas giant Nisitha. In what became known as the Jios Calamity, the small black hole that split from Revectorio sucked in Nisitha's moon Jios, where billions of low-wage workers and slaves tended to the moon's vast industrial plants. All 8 billion low-class inhabitants of Jios died in the moon's destruction. This led to protests over worker's rights and species equality, but Garmageddon quickly put down these protests by massacring their participants with Fasces drones. By the time Revectorio had warped out of the system on February 6, its associated impact events had killed at least 15 billion - 96% of which were part of the aforementioned minority groups.
Revectorio's split portion then merged back into the main black hole before warping into an unoccupied portion of interstellar space between the Outer Arm and the New Outer Arm. The vast distance between its current and previous locations along with its anomalous warping and splitting properties alarmed Garmageddon officials. Meanwhile, Urlum Eudae Kaywell saw interest in Revectorio due to its capability to be used as a weapon against the Apatelos Rebellion; she drafted the Apatelos Elimination Plan's next phase, the Revectorio Experiment Plan, to this end.
As part of the plan, she sent the research ship Heranis, a Polyhex-class captained by astronomer and Order of Apollyon member Tak Ajnin, to orbit around Revectorio on February 14. After studying Revectorio for roughly two months, the Heranis discovered the following information about the black hole.
- Revectorio had swallowed an advanced warp drive sometime in its past, giving it its anomalous warping abilities.
- Revectorio was at least partially sentient, attempting to communicate with Ajnin via the emission of special signals.
- Could split pieces of itself apart at will (at the time, Revectorio's splitting of itself to destroy Jios was a rumor that had not been confirmed) and absorb these split portions at will, regaining its lost mass in the process.
Ajnin attempted to convince Revectorio (now designated Anomaly Apollyon-772 by Garmageddon) to assist Garmageddon in its quest for power. However, the black hole simply warped away in response. The warp occurred on March 5, 2146, marking the end of the Revectorio Experiment Plan.
Despite Ajnin's failure to bring Revectorio into Garmageddon, the Sovereignty still managed to use the anomalous black hole to its advantage when Revectorio warped near the Apatelos-occupied Kallio System in the Outer Arm/Olus Court. Garmageddon sent a fleet of the Heranis and three hyper star crushers to create artificial black holes to alter Revectorio's trajectory to one sending it straight into the Kallio System. Despite Revectorio's lack of direct cooperation with Garmageddon, the black hole allowed itself to be moved into Kallio. In the ensuring Kallio Massacre of August 1, Revectorio destroyed the central K-type star Kallio along with all 8 of its planets in less than a day, killing all 45 billion Apatelos troops and liberated Danulians.
Following the destruction of Kallio, Revectorio warped out of the system on August 2 and was never detected in the Milky Way again. Though the Order of Apollyon failed to acquire the black hole as a permanent anomalous weapon, the Kallio Massacre made up for this failure by severely weakening the already-waning Apatelos Rebellion.
Macia-Urlum Debates, Bilionis Plan, and the Garmageddon Invasion of the Griffith Republic (2147)[]
The progressive weakening of the Apatelos Rebellion eventually led to the capture of Macia Mallory and their two closest allies - Jack Park and Naegleria Fowleri (the latter of which being a former tabulon ally of Urlum pre-Sovereign who defected following the formation of Garmageddon) - when they attempted to attack Ingffhaestia itself on January 5, 2147. Rather than executing the three, Urlum Eudae Kaywell decided to use them as propaganda by challenging them to a debate, intending to prove her views right and garner support.
Over the course of January 2147, Kaywell and Mallory took part in the Macia-Urlum Debates, where they held competitive debates over topics such as species equality and imperialism. Though the populace expressed their unanimous support for Urlum, the debates' judges ruled Mallory the winner. This caused the Highmost Sovereign to personally and brutally execute the judges as well as all 1000 of the debates' spectators for treason against Garmageddon, framing Mallory for manipulating the judges (a claim that had no evidence to support it). In the ensuing chaos, Mallory and Fowleri escaped, though Jack Park remained captive under the Highmost Sovereign.
The all-powerful Macbeth Device shortly after its completion. The station was 13,000 kilometers in diamater - larger than the Earth itself, though much less massive due to its mostly hollow structure.
Mallory and Fowleri then fled to the Griffith Republic's territory, where they assumed that they were safe due to the Treaty of the Moon. However, Garmageddon proved them wrong on April 22, 2147, when the Highmost Sovereign announced the end of the Treaty and declared war on the Griffith Republic. To further dampen the Apatelos Rebellion and Griffith's morale, Urlum Eudae Kaywell not only threatened to publicly execute Park if they failed to surrender, but also created a new phase of the Apatelos Elimination Plan specifically for destroying the Republic: the Bilionis Plan (named after Yorgos' moon Bilionis, where most of the plan's ships saw their construction), which involved the creation of the highly advanced and dangerous Euclid-, Keter-, and Apollyon-class warships for the invasion of Earth. The plan also entailed the announcement of the massive Macbeth Device's construction around a classified star system (though in reality, the Device had begun construction far earlier). The Device, when completed, was planned to have have the size of a planet, carry the combined power of every Drori artifact the Sovereignty had discovered, and (most importantly) revive the Drori race to assist Garmageddon in its imperialist endeavors.

Evanor Griffith and Macia Mallory initially attempted to negotiate with Urlum Eudae Kaywell to form another peace treaty giving Garmageddon even more land, but Kaywell refused all of their requests and immediately launched attacks from all sides. Initially, the Griffith Republic continued to hold its own much like it did during Griffith's Rebellion several decades earlier. The remnant forces of the Apatelos Rebellion as well as the Pael, a species which saw protection from Garmageddon by Griffith, both assisted the Republic's war efforts. In the Battle of Proxima Centauri on June 4, 2147, Griffith ships built with especially strong hull materials lended by the Pael managed to resist even the powerful planet-destroying beams of the Polyhex-class and its sister ship variants built during the Omperion Plan.
However, the arrival of the Euclids, Keters, and Apollyons quickly turned the tide of the war to Garmageddon's favor, with the Sovereignty claiming dozens of Griffith-controlled star systems over a span of only a few months. The Macbeth Device's formal completion further cemented Garmageddon's overwhelming superiority, with rumors circulating around the Griffith Republic's rapidly-shrinking territory of entire star systems falling under the Garmageddon Sovereignty's control in a single flash of red light. As with other non-tabulons, Garmageddon expelled any humans or other Griffith-loyal species out of captured star systems and into concentration camps, laboratories, forced labor, and/or a plethora of other forms of oppression and cruelty. These new arrivals carried both a physical toll, with an estimated 789 million Griffith troops and 125 billion Griffith civilians died by November of 2147; and a psychological toll, with stories of Bilionis Plan ships conquering Griffith star systems in just days and Garmageddon troops massacring innocent civilians severely demoralizing the Griffith Republic's populace.

The final battle, the Great Battle of the Solar System, occurred during December of 2147 when a massive fleet of over 10,000 Garmageddon ships, including several Bilionis Plan ships and the Macbeth Device, entered the solar system of the Griffith Republic's capital and homeworld, Earth. The massive fleet defeated all remaining Griffith, Pael, and Apatelos forces within the first 24 hours while killing an estimated 1 billion civilians. Afterwards, the Highmost Sovereign dropped her initial deal and sent out a new broadcast across the entire Solar System: Each day starting on December 3, Garmageddon would destroy one planet until either Griffith announced its surrender or the Sovereignty had destroyed the entire Solar System. If the Griffith Republic surrendered, Kaywell would grant Evanor Griffith, Macia Mallory, and their closest allies second-class citizenship in the Garmageddon Sovereignty as servants of Kaywell herself.
Griffith refused to surrender, resulting in the destructions of Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter by December 6; Garmageddon had also seized control of the Pael homeworld of Megat by that time. On December 7, Griffith and Apatelos forces attempted to drive away the planetary destruction fleet heading to Mars, but they saw their defeat within less than an hour. An Apollyon-class battle cruiser, the Bane of Evanor, destroyed Mars without fail shortly afterwards.
Destruction of Earth[]
Earth on December 8, 2147 as it suffered through orbital bombardment by multiple Garmageddon ships
On December 8, 2147, the Griffith Republic officially announced its surrender to Garmageddon. However, Urlum Eudae Kaywell decided to destroy the Earth anyway. That day, a 12,000-ship Garmageddon fleet including the Macbeth Device, the original 10,000-ship assault/planetary destruction fleet, and Kaywell's flagship (the Glorious-class Fist of Uingffhaestia) reached Earth orbit. Arsia, Pavonis, and Ascraeus rei Tharsis also arrived in their old Polyhex-class starships as a nod to their earlier roles in Griffith's Rebellion.
Though Garmageddon could easily destroy Earth in an instant, Urlum Eudae Kaywell decided to slowly and painfully lay waste to the planet in order to maximize her pleasure from the event and to keep it intact enough for tabulon colonization. In the ensuing Human Genocide, Garmageddon warships bombarded Earth cities such as Tokyo and London from orbit and caused massive property damage and civilian casualties. Millions of fasces descended onto Earth's surface and brutally massacred citizens in other populous cities. The Macbeth Device fired its replica S.D. Locke Cannon upon the Sun, melting and transforming any humans exposed to its light. Urlum Eudae Kaywell decided to personally destroy the capital of the Griffith Republic, San Francisco, by having the Fist of Uingffhaestia orbitally bombard it. By the end of the 8th, Garmageddon had rendered Earth uninhabitable, killed all 9.5 billion living on the surface, and had captured all high-ranking Republic and Apatelos officials including Griffith, Mallory, and Fowleri.
On December 25, 2147, Garmageddon formally annexed all of the Griffith Republic's territory into the Imperial Ingffhaestian Court. Despite her earlier deal, Urlum Eudae Kaywell decided to keep Jack Park as her slave as a reminder of the human race's genetic inferiority. The Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon had truly conquered the entire galaxy.
Creation of the Integrity Generals (2148)[]
Political map of the Ouroboros Galaxy on January 1, 2148
Though Mallory, Griffith, and their allies had committed the highest form of treason against the Garmageddon Sovereignty, Kaywell was impressed by their prowess in battle and did not desire to put their potential to waste by simply executing them. So instead, she decided to brainwash them into serving her; during February of 2148, Neprus Nerugol developed the Synthesis Module - a device which, when inserted into the brain of an individual, would block said individual's most treasured memories and delude them into exercising fanatical devotion and reverence to the Highmost Sovereign. Through force, Highmost Sovereign Kaywell inserted Synthesis Modules into Mallory, Griffith, and several other humans and turned them into loyal integrity generals serving Garmageddon. On March 31, 2148, Kaywell and Nerugol had converted Evanor Griffith into the first integrity general: Evanor Synthesis One.
The integrity generals, despite their non-tabulon status, carried out the Highmost Sovereign's orders with more loyalty and brutality than even the most devoted of Garmageddon's tabulon generals. They succeeded without fail in bringing in those plotting against Garmageddon and its government. By October 7, Garmageddon had created 20 integrity generals, including Macia Mallory (now Macia Synthesis Two).
Despite pressure from prominent Garmageddon figures such as Arsia rei Tharsis, Urlum Eudae Kaywell insisted on not converting Jack Park into an integrity general, as she wanted him to endure the full suffering of seeing his closest friends and allies turn into hollow husks of their former selves.
Revival of the Drori and the Creation of Urlumism (2149)[]
For much of Garmageddon's history, Urlum Eudae Kaywell had simply used Macbethism and the Drori legends as a way to manipulate the populace into exercising completely loyalty to her nation. However, with the objectives of both the Ouroboros Contingency Plan and the Apatelos Elimination Plan fulfilled, Kaywell decided to fund a large-scale research project related to the Drori. Garmageddon began expeditions into planets and moons containing traces of the Drori civilization as well as more in-depth studies of the Drori artifacts. In addition, Garmageddon scientists began researching the Archeotabulon race as well due to their suspected connections to the Drori.
Months of research led to crucial discoveries related to the Drori race, including their physiology (the Drori resembled tabulons, but without the six wing-tentacles) and cause of extinction (a wormhole accident at the Drori homeworld which sent the civilization into anarchy, coupled with a galactic pandemic of a now-extinct virus).
However, all of this culminated in a shocking discovery made on February 26, 2149: The Drori and Archeotabulons were, in fact, the same species. Izlondia was not a far-off undiscovered planet - it was Uingffh itself. This meant that the tabulons were the Drori's closest descendants.
The revelations regarding the tabulons' close relation to the Drori caused a massive religious movement known as the Galactic Great Awakening. All across the Ouroboros Galaxy, tabulons asserted themselves as divine and holy due to the Sovereignty worshipping the Drori as gods. Kaywell herself made a speech on March 16 declaring the tabulon race as a holy species blessed by the gods (the Drori) destined to continue the Drori's legacy by becoming gods in their own right.
Likewise, the already-rampant discrimination against non-tabulons increased as a result of the revelation. The tabulons' relation to the Drori became a new justification for tabulon supremacy and racism, with many tabulon nationalists believing that oppressing non-tabulons and eradicating them from the galaxy was their god-given right and duty.
Near the beginning of April, Garmageddon archeologists made yet another shocking discovery: An unconscious, yet living Drori individual in underground Drori ruins. They concluded that the wormhole accident at Izlondia/Uingffh did not kill off the Drori individuals there, but merely converted them into unconscious forms given immortality and other supernatural abilities by the wormhole's interference with spacetime and physics.
In the following days, the Garmageddon Sovereignty began discovering millions of other unconscious Drori in previously-unexplored regions of the underground Izlondian ruins of Uingffh. The Garmageddon government transferred responsibility of Drori research to the Apollyonic Foundation, which tried a multitude of methods to awaken the Drori to no avail.
The discovery of the last emperor of the Drori civilization, the reverred Macbeth, on June 6 launched immense religious fervor along with pressure from the public to awaken the Drori and "achieve omnipotence." A day later, Highmost Sovereign Kaywell announced her preparations to attempt to revive the Drori race via the Bilionis Plan's Macbeth Device. On June 19, the Apollyonic Foundation sent thousands of unconscious Drori, including Emperor Macbeth, to the Macbeth Device (which had since returned to the classified star system Garmageddon had constructed it in) and attempted to revive them. This succeeded, and tabulons began conversing with the Drori for the first time.
However, Macbeth and their people all rejected the tabulons' worship of them and Garmageddon's ruthless practices of genocide and bigotry. Immediately, they declared war on the Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon and promised to bring the tabulons to justice. However, before they could act against the Sovereignty, Urlum Eudae Kaywell and the Apollyonic Foundation's grandmaster, Kharak rei Apollyon, inserted Synthesis Modules into the sphere-cores of every Drori present and turned them into slaves of the tabulons. Kaywell and Apollyon then repeated this process with the millions of other unconscious Drori.
Though the public initially expressed outrage towards Kaywell's betrayal of their "gods," they quickly came to accept a new, even more racist ideology to justify their Highmost Sovereign's actions: The tabulons' taming of the Drori meant that they were on a level of divinity even higher than that of the Drori and that the tabulons were the true gods of the universe. A new religion had emerged: Urlumism, the worship of Urlum Eudae Kaywell herself as a god.
Following the synthesizing of the Drori, Garmageddon society continued much as it did before, with the Drori being reduced to one of the many non-tabulon species considered inferior by the tabulons and oppressed or enslaved accordingly. Macbeth became a slave of Urlum Eudae Kaywell alongside Jack Park.
Pax Ouroboros (2150-2198)[]
Following the incident with the Drori, Garmageddon entered a period of relative peace known as the Pax Ouroboros. With no forms of opposition remaining in the galaxy, the Sovereignty ceased to experience significant societal developments. However, technology continued to advance and oppression of non-tabulons and minorities continued to persist.
Assassination of Urlum Eudae Kaywell and the Fragmentation of Garmageddon (2199)[]
On January 5, 2199, Jack Park reportedly assassinated Highmost Sovereign Urlum Eudae Kaywell in her palace. Because Garmageddon had no organized system of leader succession in place, the Sovereignty rapidly devolved into political turmoil as officials took advantage of the situation and attempted to seat themselves as the new Highmost Sovereign.
Arsia, Pavonis, and Ascraeus rei Tharsis attempted to maintain order and mediate the situation, but they ultimately failed to stop the ambitions of selfish politicians. Just a few days after the assassination, high-ranking Garmageddon officials began breaking away from the main Sovereignty and forming their own galactic countries in the Fragmentation Crisis of 2199.
The Fragmentation Crisis began with the Order of Urvinius' secession of the Valia Court (Scutum-Centaurus Arm) and Virvnius Court (Nova Spur) into the Empire of Amar Dudakia on January 11, 2199. Next came the creation of the Galvan Empire on February 1 out of the Sarisius Court (Norma Arm) and Keldaria Court (Kelios Spur). Afterwards, the Larsha Court (galactic core region) declared its independence on February 27 as the Sovereignty of Sagittarius, followed by the Order of Novus's founding of the Eckert Imperium out of the Irun Court (Carina-Sagittarius Arm) just a day later. As all this occurred, Jack Park escaped the Polyhex Imperial Palace, retreated to a globular cluster near the northeastern corner of the Ouroboros Galaxy, and founded the Park Republic while fending off repeated, yet weak Garmageddon attacks.
The rest of Garmageddon's territory and courts held together for some time and even attempted to devise a reuinification plan. However, disagreements over said plan led to even more secessions. On March 17, the Apollyonic Foundation rebelled against the main Garmageddon Sovereignty and converted the Olus Court (Outer Arm) and parts of the Rojo Court (Perseus Arm) into Garmageddon Invicta. On March 24, a small group of Urlumist extremists, including pontifex Queenelia Regula of the Urlumist Church, declared their dissatisfaction with the Tharsis siblings' rule and formed the Realm of Kaywell in a small, isolated part of the Imperial Ingffhaestian Court (Orion-Cygnus Arm).
Political map of the Ouroboros Galaxy on April 22, 2199
The aforementioned reuinification disagreements drilled the final nail into the first Garmageddon Sovereignty's coffin. On April 22, 2199, the Tharsis siblings officially dissolved Garmageddon and converted their remaining territory into the Restored Sovereignty. The three appointed themselves as a triumvirate of Highmost Sovereigns. Garmageddon had finally ended.
Legacy[]
Garmageddon's end in 2199, though shocking, did little to change the overall cultural and social structures of the galaxy. Garmageddon-era social norms, popular culture, technology, lifestyles, etc. persisted in Garmageddon's split nations. Significant changes in lifestyle were limited to high-ranking influential tabulons such as the high lords, noble families, and orders; tabulon minorities and non-tabulon species continued to experience oppression and extermination under the rule of the newly-created galactic sovereignties.
The stagnant nature of the Ouroboros Galaxy's society would make itself even clearer when the Restored Sovereignty led a sweeping, effective reuinification campaign that would end in the revival of Garmageddon as the even more powerful Second Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon in 2202. Within just a few years following the Second Garmageddon Sovereignty's formation, life in the galaxy had resumed as if the fragmentation never happened.
Government[]
The Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon is a totalitarian fascist dictatorship with its ruler, the Highmost Sovereign, exercising absolute control over all aspects of Garmageddon society. Any family members of the Highmost Sovereign, such as siblings or children, also carry extreme control over the Sovereignty. Though power is distributed to a number of lower-ranking nobles and government officials, the Highmost Sovereign and their family always get the final say and reserve the right to overturn any decisions made by lower powers. Highmost Sovereigns remain in power for their entire lifespan. No defined succession system existed in Garmageddon due to the presumption that the first Highmost Sovereign, Urlum Eudae Kaywell, would rule for eternity thanks to advanced biological technology. Because of this, Kaywell's death in 2199 led to the massive secession crisis that would mark the end of the Garmageddon Sovereignty and its split into various splinter empires.
Below the Highmost Sovereign are various noble families with special privileges and honors appointed by the Highmost Sovereign and their family. They are denoted by the nobiliary particle "rei", though some nobles choose not to adopt the title of rei. These families earn nobility status through notable deeds; one example is the Tharsis family, which earned nobility through Olympus rei Tharsis' role in the destruction of the dissident world of Cornelia. Any children born into a noble family retain the family's surname as well as the nobility status, but they must earn the title of rei through performing a notable deed such as a conquest. The Highmost Sovereign reserves the right to strip nobility status from any noble family.
In addition to noble families, High Lords also carry power within Garmageddon. High lords carry the responsibility of governing the Sovereignty's various territories, or courts, on the behalf of the Highmost Sovereign. Their power supersedes that of nobles, and high lords have the ability to strip nobility status from any family under their respective courts. However, the Highmost Sovereign still has the final say in these matters and can overturn any decisions made by the high lords. Like with the noble families, the high lords are both appointed and retired by the Highmost Sovereign.
Being a capitalist nation, Garmageddon also lends political power to business leaders and corporations. Companies wield unlimited power over their property and workers. Many company owners are nobles appointed by the Highmost Sovereign, and advertisements for their respective companies are just as common and widespread as government propaganda. However, the Highmost Sovereign still carries more political power than businessmen and has the ability to restrict their influence at will, especially if their ideas go against that of Garmageddon.
Almost all government officials in the Garmageddon Sovereignty are cisgender, heterosexual, neurotypical, able-bodied tabulons, reflecting its highly racist, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, and ableist nature. Garmageddon forbids any members of non-tabulon species along with any members of minorities within the tabulon race from holding positions of government. A small few non-tabulons do hold positions in the Garmageddon government, but they only exist to deceive non-tabulons into believing they have political power - in reality, these non-tabulon politicians carry no say in Garmageddon politics and exist as puppets and slaves of the Highmost Sovereign.
Though multiple political parties exist, they all in reality share the same fascist beliefs, bigoted policies, and fanatical devotion to the Highmost Sovereign. Like with the non-tabulon government officials of Garmageddon, Garmageddon political parties exist as a deception to bring a false sense of democracy among citizens and to prevent them from rebelling.
Imperial Index of Sins[]
The Imperial Index of Sins serves as Garmageddon's constitution; some simply refer to it as the Garmageddon Constitution. Passed during the Imperialization Plan, the Imperial Index lists several amendments, or sins, forbidden by the Sovereignty. Many of the sins are either hypocritical, with the Sovereignty violating them regularly; or a direct expression of bigotry, forbidding practices such as homosexuality. The Highmost Sovereign and Highmost Imperial Court are the only groups/individuals with the ability to legally violate the Imperial Index.
The ten most prominent amendments, the Bill of Sins, are listed below.
- One shall not restrict tabulons' freedom of speech, press, assembly, and petition.
- One shall not restrict tabulons' right to bear arms.
- One shall not express beliefs consistent with those of the political left.
- One shall not question the authority of the Highmost Sovereign.
- One shall not engage in sexual or romantic relationships with others of the same sex.
- One shall not attempt to change their sex or present themselves as another sex.
- One shall not indoctrinate youth into progressive teachings.
- One shall not fail to admit any minors under custody into the Associated Student Body following the minor's 9th birthday.
- One shall not restrict tabulons' right to civilize the inferior.
- One shall not restrict corporations' right to participate in the free market.
Highmost Imperial Court[]
The Highmost Imperial Court serves as Garmageddon's judicial branch and the highest court in its federal judiciary. Modeled after the Supreme Court of the United States, the Highmost Imperial Court has the power to judge laws passed by Garmageddon politicians and invalidate amendments passed to the Imperial Index of Sins. However, their power ultimately lies below that of the Highmost Sovereign, who reserves the right to overturn any of the Court's decisions.
The Highmost Imperial Court contains a total of seven justices. The Court is notorious for containing a clear bias against minorities, non-tabulons, and political dissidents; in many cases, such groups do not even receive the right to a trial.
Associated Student Body[]
Flag of the Associated Student Body
The Associated Student Body (ASB), also known as the Kaywell Youth, functions as the Garmageddon Sovereignty's federal youth organization. As per the 8th Amendment to the Bill of Sins, all parents are required to admit any children into the Associated Student Body once they reached age 9 (3 years human equivalent). Children could leave the Associated Student Body once they reached 54 (18 years human equivalent).
Though training varies depending on sex, reflecting Garmageddon's emphasis on gender norms, the Associated Student Body generally serves to indoctrinate minors into the fascist ideology of Garmageddon. Children are taught to unconditionally hate non-tabulons, minority groups, and the political left. They are taught to exercise fanatical devotion to the Garmageddon Sovereignty and to fiercly uphold its values. The Associated Student Body is seen as the future of the Garmageddon Sovereignty, and sacrifice for the cause forms a centerpoint of the organization.
Male children are given combat and military training in the Associated Student Body, with the organization aiming to foster a generation of strong soldiers. Males endure long and arduous hours of weapons training, assault course circuits, and basic tactics. Physical activity is also emphasized for Associated Student Body males, with male children engaging in a variety of strenuous sports, exercises, etc. including long runs, weight lifting, and push-ups. In general, physical and military prowess took precedent over intelligence for males in the Associated Student Body.
Female children are given lessons in parenting and sex. The Associated Student Body engages female children in a variety of activities simulating parenthood or romantic/sexual relationships. They are also taught cooking and basic first aid, with the Associated Student Body intending to turn them into loyal assistants to soldiers. Unlike boys, girls in the Associated Student Body emphasize academics and intellect; females are subject to rigorous, challenging courses in science, history, mathematics, language arts, literature, etc.
Somale children are raised to become propagandists. The Associated Student Body teaches somales basic skills in propaganda creation; to this end, the organization teaches creative skills such as art, literature, poetry, and graphic design. Somales are forced to absorb large amounts of nationalist pro-Garmageddon media and experience the most severe indoctrination of all three tabulon genders. Somales in the Associated Student Body experience emphasis on creativity.
Garmageddon Ministry of Truth[]
Flag of the Ministry of Truth
The Garmageddon Ministry of Truth forms the Sovereignty's government propaganda department. The Ministry of Truth regularly provides an output of films, literature, television programs, poetry, posters, etc. praising Garmageddon, promoting its ideologies, and demonizing non-tabulons, minorities, and political dissidents. It also carries the ability to review existing works of media and reserves the right to censor any work from the public.
Compared to other government organizations, the Ministry of Truth is relatively small, as corporations provide most of Garmageddon's propaganda due to its laissez-faire capitalist economy. The Ministry, unlike other organizations, acts more as a state-run corporation that abides by the same economic rules as privately-run corporations. Both the Ministry and influential propaganda companies wield extensive influence over Garmageddon society and are largely successful in indoctrinating the citizenry into Garmageddon's ideology.
As per traditional Garmageddon gender norms, somales make up 97% of the Garmageddon Ministry of Truth.
Some famous works created by the Ministry and associated corporations include:
- Victory of Tabulonkind: Historical film revolving around the Confederate side of the Ingffhaestian Civil War and the Redemption/conquest of the Ingffhaestian System during Garmageddon's formation.
- 2032: Collapse: Television series depicting a fictional scenario where the United States of America (a country on Earth which in real life saw its annexation into the Kalgamanian Empire in the 2030s)'s 50 states fracture into independent countries, many of which are rife with political turmoil. It is a piece of propaganda meant to promote the idea that humans are genetically inferior to tabulons and are unfit to govern themselves.
- Age of the Empire: Science fiction series of novels depicting an alternate universe where Uingffh becomes a far-right dictatorship much earlier in its history rather than becoming the progressive Ingffhaestian Federation. The first trilogy deals with the formation of the Osuwan Empire (the aforementioned dictatorship and a play on the United States of Osuwa), its conquest of Uingffh, and its promotion of far-right values. The second trilogy depicts the Osuwan Empire's Ouroboros Plan-esque conquest of the Galaxy and its reformation into the Infinite Empire. The third trilogy deals with its reformation into the Universal Ascendancy, an empire spanning the entire universe. The three trilogies serve to perpetuate far-right political messages and ideologies.
- Birth of a Sovereignty: Drama film depicting a male tabulon and a female tabulon's quest to save their somale lover from the clutches of an evil organization of non-tabulons and minorities. Gross stereotypes of non-tabulons and minorities as dangerous savages are pervasive in the film.
- Arsia's Ascendancy: Documentary depicting and glorifying the life of prominent Garmageddon general Arsia rei Tharsis.
- The Tabulon's Burden: Work of poetry writen by Pavonis rei Tharsis explaining the tabulon race's motivation and duty to subjugate and civilize the "savage" and "inferior" non-tabulon civilizations.
- Ouroboros: Documentary depicting and glorifying Garmageddon's conquest of the Milky Way Galaxy as part of its Ouroboros Contingency Plan.
- Ruler and Mediator: Documentary depicting and glorifying the life of Highmost Sovereign Urlum Eudae Kaywell.
Economy[]
During the very early years of Garmageddon's rule, the Sovereignty adopted a socialist economic system, with the federal government handling all all means of production. However, the Garmageddon Sovereignty radically changed its economy to a laissez-faire capitalist system in the late 2100s as part the Imperialization Plan; this economic system dominated Garmageddon for the rest of its history.
Private individuals control most means of production and are allowed to build companies with very little restrictions, with the Garmageddon government only taking action against corporations if they expressed direct opposition to Garmageddon and its core principles. This capitalist systems has both upsides and downsides; on the plus side, Garmageddon is one of the most economically prosperous nations in the galaxy, carrying a tremendous net worth of $1.95 sextillion at its peak. Companies manufacture countless pieces of highly advanced technology, especially in the military field with ships like the Polyhexes and the star crushers. On the other hand, however, workers' rights are disregarded and entrepreneurs are allowed to pay their employees as little as they like, set as many work hours as they like, and even execute workers. Garmageddon contains some of the widest wealth disparities between lower-class laborers and upper-class industrialists ever recorded in the history of the galaxy.
Because of the strong prevalence of systemic oppression and bigotry in Garmageddon society, class inequality often coincides with other forms of discrimination. Minorities such as LGBTQ+ people, disabled people, etc. make up a large bulk of the Garmageddon Sovereignty's poor working class. In addition, non-tabulon slaves and forced laborers make up an even larger portion of the Sovereignty's labor force, with coerced labor under large corporations being among the many methods of oppression and genocide utilized against alien species.
Businessmen carry a large amount of influence on Garmageddon politics and culture, carrying similar privileges to noble families and high lords. Advertisements for their companies are widespread and are just as, if not more common than government propaganda. Particularly successful entrepreneurs are often granted noble status by the Highmost Sovereign. In addition, large corporations orchestrate many of Garmageddon's atrocities against minorities alongside the government itself; companies often kidnap non-tabulons in the millions or even billions to fulfill their labor needs and commission the Garmageddon navy to destroy planets (including inhabited ones) in order to more easily mine their resources.
Like Kalgamania, the Garmageddon government and corporations viewed even small federal regulations on companies (save for punishments for businesses that contradicted core Garmageddon values such as tabulon supremacism) as equivalent to radical communism. The Sovereignty used the flaws of communism and socialism as fear tactics in order to create strong animosity in the general public against economic reform and regulation. Helping the poor is looked at with disdain and poverty is seen as simply the result of failure on the poor's part - an extension of the overall Social Darwinist nature of the Sovereignty.
Culture and Society[]
If the Holy Empire of Earth Kalgamania's culture was fascist and bigoted, Garmageddon's is even more so. Discrimination against minorities and non-tabulon species forms the centerpoint of Garmageddon culture, with the culture of the Sovereignty being centered around the unconditional hatred and rejection of anything and everything "other".
Speciesism[]
Though all forms of bigotry are prevalent in Garmageddon culture, speciesism and tabulon supremacy wield by far the greatest influence in its society. The belief that tabulons are a superior race forms the main driving force behind almost all actions of Garmageddon and its citizens, including (mostly notably) the conquest of the Milky Way.
Discrimination against humans[]
Humans have a unique place in Garmageddon culture. Though humans themselves are oppressed and exterminated much like other non-tabulon species, the tabulons hold a certain respect for the older cultures of Earth - particularly those of pre-20th century Europe and that of the Kalgamanian Empire - due to their similarities with Garmageddon's own culture. Garmageddon citizens often liken Garmageddon to older human imperial powers such as Britain and France as well as more recent nations such as the Holy Empire of Earth-Kalgamania. Human historical figures (particularly conservative ones) form the namesake of many Garmageddon ships, buildings, parks, etc. - for example, Pavonis rei Tharsis' flagship was named the Rudyard Kipling after Britain's imperial poet and author of the White Man's Burden, a notable poem promoting imperialism. The Garmageddon Sovereignty frequently appropriates aspects of European and Kalgamanian culture such as its architecture, art styles, literature, music, clothing, etc. - in particular, the Sovereignty's populace idolized baroque and classical music. The Sovereignty also idolized certain human conservative figures such as Ben Shapiro and Donald Trump; in fact, one of Shapiro's quotes forms the motto of Garmageddon: "Facts don't care about your feelings."
Meanwhile, Garmageddon views more modern aspects of human culture, such as its recent technology and political figures, with great disdain due to the progressivism and leftism present in the human race's later post-Kalgamanian years. The Sovereignty's citizens view the Griffith Republic in particular with extreme animosity due to their rebellion in the early 2110; tabulons often vandalize Griffith Republic flags and effigies of the Republic's leader, Evanor Griffith, in public as displays of pro-Garmageddon patriotism and nationalism. This hatred towards newer aspects of human culture not only reflects Garmageddon's speciesism, but also its high emphasis on tradition.
Because Garmageddon idolized old European and Kalgamanian culture, its citizens looked down upon humans of color and their culture as backwards and primitive. The Sovereignty praised slavery as a positive good and an excellent example of the Social Darwinism that permeated the Sovereignty's culture. People of color received harsher treatment in concentration camps and forced labor plantations; in fact, some tabulons kept people of color as pets or slaves. It should be noted, however, that the Garmageddon Sovereignty still viewed white people as vastly inferior to the tabulon race.
Discrimination against Krybolartarian Lizards[]
Following the invasion of the Krybolartarium Empire in 2124, Garmageddon implemented oppressive policies against Krybolartarian Lizards, the empire's main species, though propagandists had been building up animosity and stereotypes against the Lizards since the beginning of the war in early 2123. Billions of Krybolartarian Lizards were sent to concentration and extermination camps while billions more worked as slaves or forced laborers to tabulon masters and companies. Propagandists stereotype Krybolartarian Lizards as savage and animal-like, often comparing them to Earth's lizards, crocodiles, alligators, and dinosaurs due to their shared reptilian features; many fictional works, such as the famous film Krybolarzilla, depict Krybolartarians attacking tabulon towns and cities in a monster-like fashion.
Krybolartarian Lizards are often referred to as the derogatory slur Krybaby. During the Non-Tabulon Elimination Plan of 2136-2137, Garmageddon killed off an estimated 99.8% of all Krybolartarian Lizards.
Discrimination against Xymethystas[]
During the war against the Xymidication Empire from 2125-2127, Garmageddon implemented oppressive policies against Xymethystas; like Krybolartarian Lizards, Xymethystas faced explusion into concentration camps in the billions and forced labor under tabulons or companies.
However, during one experiment involving enslaved Xymethystas, tabulon scientist Neprus Nerugol discovered that Xymethystas had the ability to fuse into a larger, more powerful, but less intelligent entity; the fusion dealt immense pain to the Xymethystas involved. Nerugol also discovered the Xymethystas' ability to survive in the vacuum of space for extended periods of time. This led to the Garmageddon Sovereignty turning to a new, even more unethical form of oppression: converting Xymethystas into biological spaceships as part of the Kristallnacht Empire Plan. Million of Xymethystas saw exceptionally horrific and painful integration into warships such as the Kristallnacht and had their very consciences suppressed and damaged. Forced fusion and integration caused so much physical and emotional pain/damage to Xymethystas that even Garmageddon citizens saw the practice as unethical, however the Garmageddon legislature simply put all protests against forced fusion with military intervention.
As a side effect of the Kristallnacht Empire Plan's forced fusion, Garmageddon stereotypes Xymethystas as non-sentient objects/components of spaceships. Many believe forced integration into bioships to be a Xymethysta's sole purpose in life and look down upon the prospect of Xymethystas leading lives of their own. Any Xymethysta caught running free is to be taken by the government or a large weapons corporation for forced integration. Because of their usefulness as bioships, Xymethystas were not targeted during the Non-Tabulon Elimination Plan. Garmageddon citizens often refer to Xymethystas using the derogatory slur rock as a reference to their crystalline appearance.
Discrimination against Finolians[]
As with Krybolartarium and Xymidication, Garmageddon discriminated heavily against the Finolian species during the 2128-2129 cold war for being non-tabulons, sending them to concentration camps, extermination camps, forced labor, etc. However, animonsity towards the Finolians had existed long before then due to the conflict between Garmageddon and Finolian's economic systems - Garmageddon contained a highly capitalist system while Finolian had a socialist system. As such, discrmination against Finolians often overlaps with Garmageddon's suppression and censorship of socialists, communists, and other radical leftists. Garmageddon propagandists often spread baseless fearmongering rumors of Finolians secretly plotting to overthrow Garmageddon and initiate a "communist takeover," and many of Garmageddon's anti-communist propaganda features heavily stereotyped Finolians as subjects. Many of the Sovereignty's citizens stereotype and associate Finolians with radical leftist beliefs. Finolians are frequently (and often falsely) arrested or executed for spreading communist and socialist beliefs and planning leftist revolutions.
In addition to being referred to by the slur finnie, Finolians are also frequently referred to using derogatory terms for leftists and liberals, such as "commie", "leftie", "libtard", etc.
Discrimination against Zanthens[]
Like with the other subjugated galactic powers, the Zanthe Republic's native species, the Zanthens, experienced severe discrimination and oppression in Garmageddon society. The Sovereignty sends billions of Zanthens to concentration camps, forced labor camps, extermination camps, etc. to be brutally tortured, overworked, experimented on, etc.
The slur zanthie is often used to refer to Zanthens in a derogatory manner.
Discrimination against Floranians[]
As with the other subjugated civilizations, the Floranian species of the Sria Kingdom saw severe oppression under Garmageddon's rule, with the Sovereignty forcing billions out of their native planets and moons and into horrific concentration, forced labor, and extermination camps.
A major genocide of the Floranian race occurred during the Florania Exclusion Act of 2132, where Garmageddon deemed the Floranias a useless race and ordered its total extinction. The act succeeded in wiping out 80% of the species by the beginning of 2133. During the later Non-Tabulon Elimination Plan, Garmageddon killed off another 19.7% of the pre-Garmageddon Floranian population, leaving only 0.3% of the Floranian population alive.
Garmageddon tabulons refer to Floranians with the derogatory term fluke.
Discrimination against Danulians[]
As with the other subjugated civilizations, the Danulian species of the Danulian Federation saw severe oppression under Garmageddon's rule, with the Sovereignty forcing billions out of their native planets and moons and into horrific concentration, forced labor, and extermination camps. Notably, Garmageddon strongly censors the Danulians' religion of Giedrism and frequently persecutes Giedrist followers. Propagandists often put up images and symbols of hurricanes, a natural phenomenon seen as demonic by Giedrists, in an attempt to intimidate Giedrists into submission.
Garmageddon's inhabitants frequently use the slur dabbart to insult Danulians and the slur gike to insult Giedrists. By the end of the Non-Tabulon Elimination Plan, an estimated 98.5% of all Danulians had perished at the hands of Garmageddon executioners.
Discrimination against Kerbals[]
Garmageddon, like with other civilizations it colonized, carries out large-scale genocides of the Kerbal species and other species involved with the Kerbol Union. Due to the Kerbals' role in infecting into the systems of the Majdanek-class star crushers' AI systems with fatal malware, Garmageddon propagandists often stereotype Kerbals as hackers plotting to bring down Garmageddon's cyber landscape from within. The Sovereignty frequently (and usually falsely) arrests Kerbals under allegations of compromising Garmageddon's cyber security.
Like other non-tabulon races, Kerbals were referred to using a derogatory slur: kek. During Non-Tabulon Elimination, Garmageddon ruthlessly slaughtered 99.3% of all Kerbals.
Discrimination against Nera Nelinians[]
Like other non-tabulons, Nera Nelinians faced genocide, oppression, forced labor, execution, and a variety of other forms of oppression in Garmageddon. Owing to their fate during the war with Garmageddon from 2136-2137, Nera Nelinians are often punished through exposure to the light of stars transformed using the S.D. Locke Cannon, which causes them to transform into gelatinous organisms exercising fanatical loyalty to Garmageddon.
Because of their usefulness as servants following transformation, Garmageddon did not exterminate the Nera Nelinian race during Non-Tabulon Elimination and instead forced them into transforming in the light of S.D. Locke Cannon-altered stars. Garmageddon converted 99.4% of their species by the plan's end. The slur nerga is often used to refer to Nera Nelinians in a derogatory manner.
Discrimination against Isoia-Urdenmark Tabulons[]
Initially, Garmageddon did not discrminate against the inhabitants of the Isoia-Urdenmark Imperium due to their status as tabulons genetically identical to Garmageddon tabulons owing to their shared ancestry. However, following the beginning of hostilities between the two, Garmageddon and its propagandists were quick to take advantage of Isoia-Urdenmark tabulons' unique dark green/blue fur color and turn them into a separate racial category. During the war, an estimated 772 billion dark green and dark blue tabulons were sent to concentration camps for forced labor or execution regardless of their relationship with Isoia-Urdenmark. These so-called "Isoia-Urdenmark tabulons" continued to experience harsh oppression and stereotyping long after the conquest of Isoia-Urdenmark.
Other forms of bigotry[]
In addition to non-tabulons, minority groups within the tabulon race itself also experience severe discrimination. Every single form of fiction, such as literature, movies, television, etc., contains discriminatory themes and stereotypes - even children's media such as coloring books, children's games, and toys contain caricatures of minority groups as villains. Derogatory slurs such as f*ggot, d*ke, r*tard, etc. are often thrown around by both the youth and even mature adults; in fact, many Garmageddon infants and toddlers say slurs as their first words. As a side effect of this heavy emphasis on bigotry and xenophobia, social norms carry a significant influence in Garmageddon society, with young Garmageddon inhabitants (especially teenagers and adolescents) being forced to navigate an extremely complex web of unspoken rules, etiquette, mannerisms, trends, etc.
Garmageddon defends those exhibiting bigoted beliefs on the basis that they are exercising their right of freedom of speech, stating that bans on hate speech would constitute as censorship and would pave the way for a "communist takeover". Of course, such notions were wholly hypocritical, as Garmageddon frequently restricts the populace's freedom of thought and brutally punishes those who spoke out against the Sovereignty. The Sovereignty would frequently justify these actions by stating that freedom of speech did not apply to "degenerates" (i.e. minorities and activists) and was only earned by "superior members of the tabulon race".
Gender/sexual norms[]
Compared to other forms of discrimination, sexism does not have as much prevalance in the society and culture of Garmageddon. No sex is seen is particularly inferior to others, and all three tabulon sexes - male, female, and a tabulon-exclusive sex known as somale - enjoy high positions in society and government; Urlum Eudae Kaywell herself was a woman, along with several other high-ranking Garmageddon officials. However, the Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon imposes extremely strict social norms based on gender and expected its citizens to adhere to these expectations. Garmageddon's society looks down upon those who deviated from their assigned sexual norms; in fact, said people can face criminal charges or even the death penalty for breaking gender norms.
Garmageddon women are expected to perform the more intellectual, caretaking tasks of life. They traditionally hold occupations such as teachers, caregivers, administrators, cooks, researchers, doctors, and other similar jobs. They are not expected to perform more arduous physical tasks. In particular, motherhood forms one of the most heavily-expected duties of women in Garmageddon life; the Sovereignty made it illegal for women not to raise at least one child in their lifetime for an extended period of time.
Men in Garmageddon society carry the role of performing physical labor. They are traditionally soldiers, warriors, maintenance workers, construction workers, etc. Garmageddon emphasized men's physical health and exercise, expecting men to maintain a rigorous workout routine, a healthy diet, etc. The culture of the Sovereignty sees large, well-built muscular men as the norm; thin men and overweight men are shunned and could even face legal punishment for going above or below certain weight thresholds (see Fatphobia).
Garmageddon somales are sterotyped as the creatives of the Imperial Sovereignty. Somales typically partook in jobs such as writers, artists, architects, engineers, designers, poets, etc. They formed the bulk of Garmageddon's propagandists - somales made up over 97% of the Sovereignty's propaganda department. Somales also designed many of Garmageddon's warships, fighters, bombs, and armaments and planned out its cities, colonies, and settlements.
Deviation from these established gender and sexual norms was condemened unless it directly benefitted the Sovereignty (e.g. a male devising a novel warship design when somales usually take charge of designing Garmageddon's spacecraft); even then, individuals of the dominant sex in question would very often take credit for whatever benefits were generated by the deviance. As mentioned above, people who went against Garmageddon's strict gender norms and stereotypes faced extreme societal pressure as well as governmental and corporate intervention.
Ableism[]
Physically disabled people in the Garmageddon Sovereignty lead extremely challenging lives due to their disabilities. Following Garmageddon's formation, government officials had all disability accomodations in the Ingffhaestian System destroyed and dismantled due to their association with the Ingffhaestian Federation. Because of this, wheelchair-bound people, amputees, blind people, deaf people, and other types of physically disabled people faced high difficulty navigating daily tasks such as travelling and working.
Within years, through Imperialization-era and Industralization-era acts such as the Able Promotion Act, Garmageddon began to directly discriminate against the disabled. The Sovereignty's propagandists began mandating the sterilization of all disabled people in order to eliminate disabilities from the population and "preserve the physical superiority of the tabulon race." The Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon also had any infants born with birth defects euthanized and their parents sterilized. By 2110, the Highmost Sovereign had made the act of simply having a disability punishable by death; billion of physically disabled people joined non-tabulons and other minorities in concentration and extermination camps. In later years, physical disabilities came to symbolize negative values such as untrustworthiness, deception, and vice.
Neurological discrimination[]
Garmageddon discriminates against neurodivergent people and people with other mental disabilities just as, if not even more than physically disabled people. The Sovereignty, much like with physical disabilities, punishes having any and all forms of mental disabilities and neurodiversity (e.g. autism, depression, schizophrenia, anxiety, etc.) with death. Garmageddon sterilizes neurodivergent people in the billions and sends them to concentration camps, forced labor, execution camps, etc. Even in isolated areas of the Sovereignty tolerant of those with disabilities, a majority of neurodivergent people are unable to receive help due to Garmageddon perpetuating the belief that a majority of people claiming to have mental disabilities are, in fact, faking their disabilities for attention.
The Garmageddon Sovereignty oppressed neurodivergent people not only directly, but also indirectly through social norms and stereotypes. Garmageddon's social norms directly contradict common traits of neurodivergence; introversion, attentiveness, needing trigger warnings, non-profitable hobbies, stimming, extreme hyperactivity, extreme lethargy, breaking social norms, showing intense emotions other than happiness, etc. - all traits associated with conditions such as autism, depression, etc. - were all strongly looked down upon by the Garmageddon Sovereignty's populace and even involved criminal punishment in some cases.
Garmageddon discriminated particularly heavily against people with ADHD; it emphasized and valued being calm, attentive, and collected - all traits that contradict common symptoms of ADHD. Many antagonists in Garmageddon fictional works are given ADHD by authors in an attempt to demonize them, and Garmageddon propagandists frequently stereotype those with ADHD as catalysts for sin and as the greatest threat to the existence of Garmageddon. The Sovereignty has carried out massive genocides of people with ADHD; on January 5, 2112, Arsia rei Tharsis personally sent a massive army of 45.6 million fasces onto Earth during Griffith's Rebellion with the sole purpose of exterminating all 129 million humans with ADHD and eradicating the condition off the face of the galaxy. Not long after, the Order of Apollyon began clasifying ADHD as a supernatural anomaly: Apollyon-013.
The only mental disability not directly oppressed by Garmageddon is military-related PTSD, as the Sovereignty idolizes the military and its soldiers. Even then, however, PTSD is strongly misunderstood in Garmageddon society. A majority of Garmageddon citizens believe that PTSD only results from war and battle; anyone suffering with trauma caused by other events is immediately seen as faking their condition. In addition, Garmageddon contains insufficient mental health resources for soldiers and ex-soldiers struggling with PTSD - in fact, over 90% of suicides in people with PTSD were attributed to PTSD in 2150. A large portion of Garmageddon's citizens view even military officers suffering with PTSD as weak and believe that such people should simply "get over" their mental disabilities on their own.
Homophobia[]
Homophobia is commonplace in Garmageddon, particularly due to both Macbethism and Urlumism forbidding homosexuality (religious scholars would later discover this to be a mistranslation, but the Sovereignty continued to oppress homosexuals regardless). Garmageddon outlaws same-sex relationships and punishes such acts with death; the Garmageddon Sovereignty, like with other minorities, sends gay people in the billions to its many concentration and extermination camps. Garmageddon propagandists frequently perpetuate false myths about homosexuals, such as homosexual parents being more likely to abuse their children and homosexuals perpetuating other, more genuine sexual offenses like pedophilia, bestiality, and necrophilia.
Garmageddon law forbade the public display of rainbow flags (as well as LGBTQ+ pride flags in general). Rainbow flags only appeared in public when burned by homophobic people as a demonstration of their bigotry. Garmageddon also banned the display of gay couples on the media no matter the intent due to the pervasive belief that homosexuality on television would turn its viewers homosexuals (a sentiment that, despite Garmageddon's heavy emphasis on facts, held no basis in science). The Sovereignty forces schools to teach heterosexuality as the norm and encourage students to view homosexuality as wrong and repulsive. Garmageddon children, adolescents, and even full-grown adults often use the words "gay" and "homosexual" as insults.
Homosexuals, along with all other LGBTQ+ identities, are catalogued as supernatural anomalies in the Order of Apollyon's anomaly database, being classified Apollyon-069.
Biphobia[]
Bisexuals in Garmageddon society face much of the same oppression homosexuals faced; they are sent to concentration camps, censored on the media, and portrayed negatively by propagandists. Garmageddon saw attraction towards more than one gender as taboo and immoral; even gay refuges in isolated parts of the Sovereignty often excluded bisexuals and denied the plausibility of attraction towards multiple genders or sexes. Notable stereotypes included bisexual people being more likely to cheat due to their attraction towards more genders and bisexuals actually being straight people faking attraction to the same gender in an effort to seem "quirky".
These forms of oppression also apply to similar sexualities within the multisexual spectrum such as pansexual, omnisexual, polysexual, etc. Bisexuals, along with all other LGBTQ+ identities, are catalogued as supernatural anomalies in the Order of Apollyon's anomaly database, being classified Apollyon-070.
Aphobia[]
Asexuals and aromantics in Garmageddon society face much of the same oppression homosexuals and bisexuals are; they are sent to concentration camps, censored on the media, and portrayed negatively by propagandists. Because it is considered tabulons' duty to have a partner, raise a family, and increase the population of the "superior" tabulon race, those who did not experience sexual or romantic attraction are looked down upon and treated in similar ways to bisexuals and homosexuals. Garmageddon frequently forces asexuals and aromantics to partake in romantic or sexual relationships against their will in concentration camps and conversion therapy.
These forms of oppression also apply to all sexualities in the asexual and aromantic spectrums such as demisexual, demiromantic, graysexual, grayromantic, etc.
Asexuals, along with all other LGBTQ+ identities, are catalogued as supernatural anomalies in the Order of Apollyon's anomaly database, being classified Apollyon-071.
Transphobia[]
The Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon treats transgender people in a similar manner to other members of the LGBTQ+ community - that is, sending them to concentration camps, censoring them on the media, and protraying them negatively in propaganda. Garmageddon sees gender and sex as one and the same and views the changing of gender following birth as against basic principles of biology; in addition to the usual death threats, exclusion, and censorship, transgender people are also banned from transitioning to their actual gender and are seen as their gender at birth. As an extension of not only Garmageddon's transphobia, but also its extremely strict gender roles, the Sovereignty bans citizens from presenting as a different gender from their gender at birth - a policy that affects not only transgender people, but also cisgender people wishing to partake in activities such as crossdressing. Garmageddon youth and adults alike condemn the use of special pronouns such as neopronouns and often turn them into the subject of jokes and caricatures of transgender people. Garmageddon condemns those identifying as a gender other than the tabulon gender binary - male, female, or somale - or identifying as multiple genders at once even more harshly and punishes such behaviors with immediate execution unless their skills prove particularly valueable to the Sovereignty.
Garmageddon propagandists portray transgender people as both a threat to society and childlike, delusional maniacs, continuing with the overall trend of the Sovereignty viewing minorities and non-tabulons as "half-devil and half-child". Some propagandists spread fearmongering notions about transgender people going into the bathrooms of other sexes/genders to sexually assault those inside, turning children transgender (or, in extreme cases of propaganda, kidnapping children and performing forced surgery on their genitalia themselves), and/or tearing down the norms of Macbethism and Urlumism (both of which saw gender and sex as the same according to Garmageddon translations of their religious texts). Meanwhile, others depict transgender people as childish and immature, likening gender labels and pronoun sets to pretend play practiced by children; these propagandists often carticaturize xenogenders and neopronouns utilized by neurodivergent people whose conditions influence their perception of gender and use said caricatures to further discrimination against not only transgender people, but also neurodivergent people.
Transgender people, along with all other LGBTQ+ identities, are catalogued as supernatural anomalies in the Order of Apollyon's anomaly database, being classified Apollyon-078.
Monogamy and monoamory[]
Garmageddon looks down upon those practicing polygamy and polyamory; the Sovereignty forbids its citizens from partaking in relationships with more than two spouses (tabulon romantic/sexual relationships consist of three individuals, one for each of the tabulons' three sexes). As with LGBTQ+ individuals, those caught practicing polyamory or even simply expressing the desire for a polyamorous relationship are immediately sent to a concentration camp or conversion therapy center, where they are often tortured, experimented on, or simply executed. Garmageddon propagandists and citizens view polyamorous relationships as simply a form of cheating.
Polyamory, along with all other LGBTQ+ identities, is catalogued as a supernatual anomaly in the Order of Apollyon's anomaly database, being classified Apollyon-109.
Racism[]
Prior to the reigns of Kalgamania and Garmageddon, tabulon society lacked any racial categories; tabulons considered themselves a single, united race and saw race as a needless social construct designed to fuel oppression. When Garmageddon formed, however, the Sovereignty immediately reinstated tabulon racial categories and developed stereotypes for each. The Garmageddon Sovereignty, like with sexes and genders, does not discretely discriminate against particular races, but does impose strict racial stereotypes for each race which often results in systemic oppression derived from the negative aspects of these stereotypes.
Garmageddon began to discretely discriminate against particular races during the war with Isoia-Urdenmark. During said war, the high population of dark green and dark blue tabulons in the Isoia-Urdenmark population caused Garmageddon to begin discriminating against said colors/races as "Isoia-Urdenmark Tabulons". Said race of tabulons experienced much of the same oppression non-tabulons suffered through.
A full list of tabulon racial categories is provided below.
- Kaywellian: Tabulons of a light blue or cyan fur color. Kaywellians are generally considered the most superior form of tabulon due to Highmost Sovereign Urlum Eudae Kaywell being of Kaywellian descent. Garmageddon stereotypes Kaywellians as highly intelligent and proficient in academics; as a result, Kaywellians frequently suffer from the "model minority" myth and the extremely high standards the Kaywellian stereotype imposes.
- Jebellian: Tabulons of a generally red to orange fur color. Like Kaywellians, Jebellians are held up to a high esteemby Garmageddon society due to several prominent Garmageddon figures - most notably, the entire Tharsis bloodline - being of Jebellian descent. As with Kaywellians, Jebellians are expected to show proficiency and diligence in academics, though the Garmageddon Sovereignty frowns upon Jebellians who attempt to surpass Kaywellians.
- Nerusgan: Tabulons of a deep blue fur color. Garmageddon stereotypes Nerusgans as operators and workers of spacecraft and warships. Nerusgans frequently enter jobs related to maintaining the Sovereignty's many spaceships due to pressure from Garmageddon society and social norms.
- Osuwan: Tabulons of a yellow-orange fur color. Garmageddon stereotypes Osuwans as businessmen and economists; many corporate leaders and industrialists are Osuwans.
- Kelargan: Tabulons of a yellow fur color. The Sovereignty considers Kelargans as experts in Garmageddon culture and religion. Kelargans are expected to deeply study Uingffhian culture and Macbethism/Urlumism, uphold tradition, and promote nationalism and patriotism.
- Liyrian: Tabulons of a medium blue fur color. Liyrians initially enjoyed a relatively high place in Garmageddon society, but began to experience racial discrimination following the outbreak of the Isoia-Urdenmark invasion due to their dark cyan fur color's similarities with the dark green/blue of Isoia-Urdenmark tabulons. Millions (possible even billions) of innocent Liyrians had their identities mistaken for Isoia-Urdenmark tabulons due to the color of their fur and were falsely sent into concentration/extermination camps. Eventually, Garmageddon began deliberately discriminating against Liyrians without regards to their color similarities with Isoia-Urdenmark tabulons.
- Uopian: Tabulons of a pink fur color. Uopians are stereotyped as highly flamboyant, feminine, and attention-seeking due to previously-established connotations of the color pink. Propagandists often protray gay tabulons and other LGBTQ+ tabulons as Uopian, and prejudice against Uopians sometimes overlaps with discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community.
- Barian: Tabulons of a light green fur color. Barians are stereotyped as savage, physically strong, rough, and barbaric; as such, the Sovereignty often pressures Barians into taking up positions in the Garmageddon army or as guards of high-ranking figures such as high lords, nobles, or even the Highmost Sovereign herself.
- Flornelian: Tabulons of a black, gray, or white fur color. Garmageddon generally outcasts Flornelian tabulons due to their monochromatic colors highly contrasting with the colors of other tabulons; many Flornelians end up being excluded from social groups and even educational/career opportunities on the basis of their race.
- Bagyan: Tabulons of a purple fur color. The Garmageddon Sovereignty stereotypes Bagyans as poor laborers and discriminates against them as such. A majority of tabulon lower-class wage workers are Bagyan.
- Morbidian: Tabulons of a red fur color. Like with Flornelians, Morbidians face severe racial discrimination due to their association with the ancient Republic of Morbidia, a socialist dictatorship with values directly opposing Garmageddon's. The Sovereignty often stereotypes Morbidians as untrustworthy and as "communist rebels" secretly plotting to overthrow Garmageddon and its capitalist economic system from within. Morbidians experience difficulty in finding educational and career opportunities on the basis of their race.
- Uveerian: Tabulons of a dark green fur color. Tabulons of a medium blue fur color. Uveerians initially enjoyed a relatively high place in Garmageddon society, but began to experience racial discrimination following the outbreak of the Isoia-Urdenmark invasion due to their dark cyan fur color's similarities with the dark green/blue of Isoia-Urdenmark tabulons. Millions (possible even billions) of innocent Uveerians had their identities mistaken for Isoia-Urdenmark tabulons due to the color of their fur and were falsely sent into concentration/extermination camps. Eventually, Garmageddon began deliberately discriminating against Uveerians without regards to their color similarities with Isoia-Urdenmark tabulons.
Religious discrimination[]
The Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon fiercely condemns religious faiths outside of the official, state-sponsored religion (Macbethism from 2105-2150 and Urlumism from 2150 onwards). The Sovereignty, like with other minorities, authorizes and carries out the genocide of those practicing other religious faiths on the grounds of heresy. They massacre heretics in the billions, arrest and torture heretics until they convert to Macbethism/Urlumism or die, and kidnap children of other religious faiths in order to convert them to Macbethism/Urlumism early on. Corporations also partook in religious discrimination; they gave no accomodations to those who needed to observe religious holidays and traditions outside of Macbethism and Urlumism. The general public contributed to religious discrimination as well by publicly displaying hate symbols related to certain religious groups such as the Nazi cross.
Garmageddon forces all schools to hold Macbethist/Urlumist classes. From an early age, Garmageddon children are taught fundamental Macbethist and Urlumist beliefs, study religious texts, and memorize prayers. The Sovereignty forced all individuals to attend Macbethist/Urlumist church at least once a week and arrested those who failed to comply to this law.
Ageism[]
The Garmageddon Sovereignty held prejudices against both the elderly and the young. Garmageddon gave no healthcare accomodations to older individuals as part of its laissez-faire ideology. However, this only formed the tip of the iceburg; at its worst, Garmageddon hospitals executed elderly people whose old age "inhibited their productivity" and rendered them "useless" to Garmageddon society. The Sovereignty only valued old people as bastions of culture, tradition, and conservatism; immediately after expressing the need for accomodations as their health deterioriates, old people lose value in Garmageddon society and are simply seen as a needless burden.
Though not experiencing the same degree of prejudice as the elderly, young people (particularly adolescents) also faced discrimination. The Sovereignty saw selfish, naive, and unfit to engage in important issues and discussions (such as politics) regardless of whether or not they actually show consistently mature behavior. The Sovereignty also aimed most of its propaganda at the young due to their emotional immaturity.
Classism[]
As a byproduct of Garmageddon's highly unregulated, laissez-faire capitalism, classism was pervasive in its culture, especially after the Highmost Sovereign passed the Worker Strip Act in 2107, stripped all workers of their rights, and authorized their total exploitation under employers. Garmageddon sees extreme divides in wealth, lifestyle, culture, etc. between lower-class laborers and upper-class businessmen, nobles, etc. Garmageddon's poor face living conditions comparable to those on concentration camps for non-tabulons; water, food, and shelter are extremely scarce for the poor as upper-class citizens hoard wealth and resources. Employers and other overseers could extend working hours as long as they wish, assign any form of work regardless of its potential danger or brutality, and even torture or execute employees on-site.
The Sovereignty forbids labor unions, minimum wage requirements and special taxes on wealthy individuals/corporations. From an early age, Garmageddon propagandists teach citizens that poverty is the fault of the poor themselves and that only they can help themselves. Garmageddon considered any notions of businessmen hoarding money and exploiting workers an act of treason. Garmageddon sees any and all forms of aid towards the poor as communism and socialism; the Imperial Sovereignty often exaggerated the flaws of said leftist economic systems as an alternative form of stereotyping and oppressing those in poverty.
Because many minority groups found themselves in poverty as a result of job and educational discrimination, classism and other forms of bigotry often overlap. Garmageddon's propagandists stereotype non-tabulons, LGBTQ+ people, certain races of tabulons, etc. as poor and vice versa. Being poor is seen as a form of degeneracy on the same level as being a member of another minority group; many Garmageddon parents encourage their children to study and work hard in order to avoid poverty, "stooping down" to the level of non-tabulons, and "disappointing" their ancestors.
Fatphobia[]
The Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon discriminates heavily against overweight people, viewing them as lazy and gluttonous. It is illegal for any tabulon to have a Body Mass Index of over 25 (overweight); Garmageddon kidnaps, tortures, and starves those with BMIs of over 25 until their BMI falls below the overweight threshold. Those with BMIs over 30 (obese) are simply executed.
Garmageddon propagandists blame unhealthy diets and insufficient physical activity for obesity; in fact, the Garmageddon Sovereignty arrests those who justify obesity with natural factors such as metabolism, genetics, medical conditions, mental/physical disabilities, etc. for treason (as a side effect of both this and Garmageddon's bigotry against disabled people, it also arrests or even executes people with the aforementioned natural factors). The Sovereignty stereotypes fat people as bastions of vices such as lethargy, greed, gluttony, etc., with many antagonistic figures in Garmageddon fictional, religious, and cultural works being fat.
Garmageddon society glorifies physical health and exercise, especially for men. Individuals with highly muscular physiques can be seen all over Garmageddon media, especially on its propaganda posters. The Sovereignty not only emphasizes sports, but mandates them; all Garmageddon schoolchildren and adolescents are required by law to partake in at least one extracurricular sport and face arrest or even torture if they fail to comply.
Nationalism[]
Nationalism and patriotism also play a significant role in Garmageddon society. From an early age, the Garmageddon Sovereignty encourages its citizens to not only idolize the nation, but also exercise an unconditional hatred towards other nations (a notion that also reflects the Imperial Sovereignty's rampant xenophobia). Garmageddon flags can be seen hanging in almost every public and private place, from the fences of parks to the sides of homes to walls of skyscrapers. The Sovereignty requires all households to display Garmageddon's flag in front of them by law. All forms of media, including television, movies, songs, and even classroom lessons, are from a strictly patriotic viewpoint and are designed to glorify the Garmageddon Sovereignty as much as possible while demonizing other nations in the process.
As part of its nationalism, Garmageddon culture glorified the military. A number of patriotic/nationalistic Garmageddon films are war stories either recounting past wars (e.g. Griffith's Rebellion or the invasion of Krybolartarium) from a Garmageddon perspective or fictional works depicting future invasions of enemy countries. Television channels and propaganda frequently include advertisements of the Garmageddon military, which in some cases use forms of manipulation such as guilt-tripping to persuade audience members into enlisting into the armed forces. Sovereignty citizens regularly donate significant sums of money to the military completely voluntarily.
Traditionalism[]
Garmageddon, being a highly conservative country, emphasized tradition and cultural norms despite its high level of technological advancement. Garmageddon architects often model buildings, furniture, ships, etc. on antique Uingffhian architecture. Garmageddon values traditional, realistic paintings, sculptures, and other forms of art. The Sovereignty idolized older forms of music such as classical music; orchestral concerts are some of the most prominent forms of theatrical entertainment in Garmageddon. Parents in Garmageddon society take up traditional, authoritarian models of childcare and encourage children to obey elders and follow the rules from a young age. Meanwhile, cultural works from the modern era (cartoon/anime art, modern literature, rap/pop music, etc.) and from other cultures are looked down upon by tabulons, and most progressive movements, beliefs, lifestyles, etc. are seen as a dangerous deviation from tradition and a grave threat to Garmageddon culture.
A number of Garmageddon's social and cultural norms reflect its traditionalism. Sexual and racial discrimination in Garmageddon society largely came about due to the revival of traditional views on sex/gender and race, with the Sovereignty adopting traditional gender norms and racial stereotypes. Suppression of non-tabulons and their cultures occurred at least partially due to their lifestyles being seen as a threat to Garmageddon's own culture; Garmageddon tabulons vehemently opposed the idea of outsiders altering Garmageddon culture to accomodate other cultural norms. Garmageddon views social justice movements as a threat to Garmageddon traditionalism as well due to their desire to reform Garmageddon culture in a way that did not affect minorities detrimentally. In general, because the rejection of anything and everything different forms a fundamental part of traditionalism, the Sovereignty takes action against minorities and non-tabulons in order to preserve the glory of tabulon civilization as it is.
Individualism and Social Darwinism[]
Despite the status of the Garmageddon Sovereignty as an authoritarian dictatorship, the nation strongly values individualism - but only in ways that benefitted it. The Sovereignty twists individualism and liberty into a justification for its oppressive policies and war crimes. Individualism really only exists for privileged groups (wealthy Kaywellian able-bodied neurotypical cisgender heterosexual gender-conforming physically fit Macbethist/Urlumist tabulons), while freedom is used to excuse bigoted beliefs. Victim blaming is extremely common; Garmageddon shows lenience towards people who commit immoral acts against others as long as their beliefs/acts do not actively go against Garmageddon philosophy. Garmageddon citizens often told those undergoing struggle to simply get over their issues regardless of the aforementioned method's feasibility, adding on to its culture of ableism and neurological discrimination. In fact, individualism influences numerous forms of bigotry in Garmageddon, with some examples including transgender people being told to just accept the bodies they were born in, the poor being blamed for their own poverty, toxic masculinity, rape culture, etc.
Like Kalgamania, Garmageddon perpetuated the ideas of Social Darwinism. The Sovereignty saw little difference between the lives of intelligent lifeforms and the lives of animals in that they believed both to simplify into a struggle to survive. Propagandists justified a number of Garmageddon's crimes under the pretext of Social Darwinism. Garmageddon's unjust conquests of rival galactic nations as part of the Ouroboros Plan are seen as proof of tabulons' genetic superiority, and people blame said galactic nations and their "genetically inferior" populations for their own losses. Garmageddon's ruling powers believed that imperialism and conquest are the only viable options for preserving the tabulon race's existence, believing that practicing friendly, equal relations with other nations and adopting an isolationist policy would lead to the invasion of Garmageddon. Garmageddon also used Social Darwinism as a justification for issues on a much smaller scale. For example, Garmageddon schools would often take no action against reports of bullying and blame the victims of bullying for not being strong enough to fight back. Tabulons believe that it is their responsibility only to prosper economically and that actions/merit are the only deciding factors in wealth; they blame the poor for their own poverty and idolize the rich regardless of the means they took to obtain their wealth. They ignore external economic factors such as inflation, corporate greed, exploitation, etc. in the process and see these explanations as communism; Garmageddon fostered a laissez-faire capitalist economy in order to simulate a Social Darwinist environment.
Religion[]
Garmageddon is deeply entrenched in religion, with its two religions - Macbethism (2105-2149) and Urlumism (2150-2199) - forming the justification for many of its acts, both good and bad.
Both Macbethism and Urlumism are state-sponsored religions and the only legal religious faiths in Garmageddon society; no separation between church and state exists and any non-Macbethist/Urlumist followers are immediately executed for blasphemy and heresy. When Garmageddon conquered other civilizations, it frequently sent missionaries to forcefully convert locals to Macbethism or Urlumism.
Macbethism[]
Insignia of the Drori, which Garmageddon later appropriated as the symbol of Macbethism
Garmageddon's main religion from 2105 to 2149 was Macbethism, which involved the worship of an ancient alien race known as the Drori and their leader, Macbeth.
Billions of years before the formation of Garmageddon, the Drori race arose and assumed control of the entire Milky Way galaxy. They developed and wieled technology advanced to the point of being comparable to magic. They remained in power for billions of years before dying out during a catastrophic wormhole experiment. However, the Drori left behind various pieces of technology - the Drori artifacts - and were also responsible for seeding all life in the Milky Way.
According to the Macbethism and its main text, the Imperable, the Drori were a godly race destined to return to power and "purify" the world of "impurities" such as non-tabulons and minorities. The Imperable also states that the Drori specially selected tabulons to carry on their legacy and spread their greatness; this became one of many justifications behind Garmageddon's imperialism. According to the Imperable, the Drori gave the tabulons the divine right to conquer the galaxy and gain control of their various leftover artifacts such as the Gatlormtis. The Imperable contains various verses forbidding acts such as homosexuality, gender transitioning, etc. and promoting acts such as colonialism, genocide, slavery, etc. Propagandists, ike with the notion of tabulons' divine right, used these verses extensively to justify Garmageddon's many atrocities.
Macbethists considered the Drori artifacts sacred objects meant only for the tabulons to use. Obtaining the artifacts was one of the main justifications behind Garmageddon's conquest of the Milky Way and the Ouroboros Contingency Plan, with the notion of other races using the artifacts being seen as sinful.
In 2149, the Sovereignty discovered that the tabulons are the direct descendants of the Drori, leading to a sharp increase in religious fervor and discrimination against non-tabulons. Not long after, Garmageddon scientists succeeded in reviving the Drori race. However, the Drori not only revealed themselves to not be divine in any way, but also expressed their opposition to Garmageddon's bigotry, imperialism, etc. This led to the Sovereignty subjugating the Drori under their control and the religion to quickly fall out of popularity.
Urlumism[]
Symbol of Urlumism
Urlumism was the main religion of Garmageddon following the end of Macbethism in 2150. As its name suggests, the religion involved the worship of Highmost Sovereign Urlum Eudae Kaywell herself as a god sent from the heavens to eradicate "impurities" such as non-tabulons and minority groups off the face of the universe. Aside from the change in deity, Urlumism contained no differences from Macbethism; both contained strong messages of tabulon supremacy and bigotry, and both used the Imperable as their main religious text.
After Jack Park assassinated Urlum in early 2199, the religion quickly lost popularity as many saw her death as a sign that she had faked her divinity. However, some of the splinter nations that emerged shortly after - most notably, the Realm of Kaywell, continued to worship her.
Military[]
A highly nationalist country, Garmageddon puts extreme emphasis on its military (known formally as the Garmageddon Imperial Armed Forces (GIAF)) and invests quintillions of Imperial Asters into military funding. The Sovereignty largely relies on its military for keeping order, conquering rival nations, and carrying out the oppression of native non-tabulons.
The GIAF, at its peak, had an estimated budget of $682.6 quintillion USD - the highest recorded military budget ever recorded in the Milky Way galaxy, surpassing even the estimated military budget of the Drori ($436 quintillion USD). The Sovereignty faces strong criticism for its high military budget, professing that it has led to decreases in funding for healthcare, education, etc. and thus decreases in quality. However, Garmageddon has consistently refrained from taking action on this issue, justifying its decisions using its laissez-faire economic system.
Army[]
Flag of the GIAF Army
The Garmageddon Army is responsible for conducting operations on the surfaces of planets such as massaces, genocides, manhunts, and invasions of specific cities/settlements. At its peak, the GIAF contained an army of 581 quadrillion enlisted personnel along with several trillion robotic soldiers such as the fasces drones.
The Highmost Sovereign reserves the right to enact a draft, or the mandatory enrollment of all tabulons between the ages of 39 (13 years human equivalent) and 135 (45 years human equivalent) into the GIAF army. So far, however, the Garmageddon government has yet to put a draft into place. This is partly due to a fierce propaganda campaign glorifying the military, which allows the GIAF to regularly receive large outputs of voluntary enrollments.
Integrity Generals[]
Beginning in 2148 following the invasion of Griffith, the Garmageddon Sovereignty converted dozens of human beings, particularly those displaying rebellious tendencies against Garmageddon, into fanatically loyal army troops called integrity generals through the use of brain-altering Synthesis Modules. Synthesis Modules blocked the most important memories in a person's mind and replaced them with false memories instilling wild devotion to Urlum Eudae Kaywell into said people. The first integrity general, Evanor Synthesis One, was converted on March 31, 2148. Many integrity generals, including Evanor, previously led revolts against Garmageddon but had their lives spared due to the Highmost Sovereign seeing value in their combat skills.
All integrity generals retain their original first name, but have "synthesis" as their middle name. The order the general was converted forms the last name.
| Name | Notes |
|---|---|
| Evanor Synthesis One | First integrity general; formerly Evanor Griffith, prime minister of the Griffith Republic |
| Macia Synthesis Two | Formerly Macia Mallory, leader of the Apatelos Rebellion |
| Zachary Synthesis Three | |
| Ojas Synthesis Four | |
| Avalon Synthesis Five | |
| Andrew Synthesis Six | |
| Colby Synthesis Seven | |
| Trey Synthesis Eight | |
| Christo Synthesis Nine | |
| Maximilien Synthesis Ten | |
| Samuel Synthesis Eleven | |
| Amar Synthesis Twelve | |
| Sovin Synthesis Thirteen | |
| Alexandra Synthesis Fourteen | |
| Gavin Synthesis Fifteen | |
| Olivia Synthesis Sixteen | |
| Aarav Synthesis Seventeen | |
| Sydney Synthesis Eighteen | |
| Luke Synthesis Nineteen | |
| Emma Synthesis Twenty |
Fasces[]
In addition to its many tabulon soldiers and human integrity generals, Garmageddon also utilizes AI soldiers in battles. The GIAF's main model of AI soldier is the fasces, developed in 2107. Fasces come in heights of around 4 meters tall and are armed with gas bombs, rapid-fire machine guns, laser turrets, special cannons which eject ultrasharp needles for stabbing targets, and syringes containing deadly poisons such as cyanide. At its peak, Garmageddon had a total of 143 trillion active fasces in service of the GIAF.

Flag of the GIAF Interstellar Navy
The Garmageddon Interstellar Navy is responsible for carrying out operations and combat in space. This includes conventional battles as well as the destruction of planets and star systems.
In addition to conventional ships, the Interstellar Navy is armed with a variety of superweapons. This includes planet-destroying battleships such as the Polyhex-Class and its variants. The Interstellar Navy also contains exceptionally large multi-kilometer long space stations known as star crushers which have the ability to generate black holes strong enough to destabilize or destroy and entire solar system. Both superweapon types are used exceedingly sparingly and make up less than 1% of Garmageddon's naval forces; conventional ships are still the most commonly-used ships in regular space combat.
The Interstellar Navy, at its peak, had over 3.55 billion starships. It contained 26 conventional starship classes and 19 star crusher classes, which are listed below.
- Christo-Class Corvette: 300 meters in length. The Christo-Class is a corvette, utilized by the Garmageddon Sovereignty for patrol. These, small, fast ships are suited for a large variety of tasks, including surveying potential battlefields and countering strike fighters. Also among its capabilities is the ability to destroy an entire city from orbit.
- Hunter-Class Corvette: 300 meters in length. Hunter-Class corvettes are among the fastest ships in the Garmageddon Interstellar Navy, eclipsed in speed only by strike fighters. They carry extreme efficiency in destroying enemy fighter craft and scanning potential battlefields for any unique hazards or advantages. Like most corvettes, the Hunter carries a gun with the capability to render a city uninhabitable.
- Ruina-Class Corvette: 300 meters in length. The Ruina-Class is a corvette, utilized by the Garmageddon Sovereignty for patrol. These, small, fast ships are suited for a large variety of tasks, including surveying potential battlefields and countering strike fighters. Also among its capabilities is the ability to destroy an entire city from orbit.
- Malum-Class Corvette: 300 meters in length. Malum-Class corvettes are among the fastest ships in the Garmageddon Interstellar Navy, eclipsed in speed only by strike fighters. They carry extreme efficiency in destroying enemy fighter craft and scanning potential battlefields for any unique hazards or advantages. Like most corvettes, the Malum carries a gun with the capability to render a city uninhabitable.
- Interitus-Class Destroyer: 350 meters in length. The Interitus-Class starship is the main destroyer in the Garmageddon Sovereignty's Interstellar Navy. This ship is placed at the forefront of fleets and is designed to deal as much damage to the enemy as possible, being small yet powerful. Dozens of retractable turrets and a cannon with the power to devastate an area the size of a small country.
- Perditio-Class Destroyer: 400 meters in length. This ship is a spinoff design of the Interitus-Class Destroyer. With a slightly larger size and more abundant weaponry, the Perditio quickly eliminates enemy ships even more effectively than the Interitus. Perditio-class destroyers require more money and resources to produce. However, this usually proves no issue for Garmageddon, which can simply resort to worker exploitation and slave labor.
- Katastrofi-Class Destroyer: 350 meters in length. This ship is yet another variation built upon the Interitus-Class. Unlike the other variant (the Perditio-Class), Katastrofi-class ships require less labor to produce, but do not carry as much power in battle as a result. Still, Katastrofis can deal severe damage to enemy fleets with their numerous weapons and fast speed. As such, they are often placed at the front of Garmageddon fleets alongside other destroyers. Ships of this type also carry a weapon capable of destroying a small country.
- Chalasmos-Class Destroyer: 250 meters in length. The Chalasmos-class is a unique destroyer. It is the shortest ship in the entire Garmageddon Navy, being 250 meters in length. However, these ships make up for their shortness with their width, being as wide as they are long. This unique property offers the Chalasmos a larger surface area for weapons, which themselves have a greater firing range thanks to the ship's shape. This makes it effective in its role as a destroyer, easily attacking enemy spaceships from the front of a fleet. Like other destroyers, the Chalasmos carries a small country-destroying orbital cannon.
- Eversio-Class Frigate: 650 meters in length. These ships are the main form of frigate used by the Garmageddon Sovereignty. As frigates, Eversio-class ships work well in group formations and carry numerous forward-facing weapons. Up to hundreds of these at a time can form a wall of ships with nearly unstoppable power. The Eversio-class is equipped with a cannon that can destroy an area of land the size of a large country.
- Exitium-Class Frigate: 535 meters in length. The Exitium-class starship is a somewhat uncommon ship of the Garmageddon Sovereignty. In addition to having regular frigate capabilities including a specialty for group formations, the Exitium's spiky design can pierce through debris and shields with ease. Like most Garmageddon frigates, the Exitium-class is armed with a cannon with the power to destroy an area the size of a large country.
- Piaculum-Class Frigate: 800 meters in length. Piaculum-class ships are frigates. Together with other frigates such as the Eversio-class, Piaculums attack in large groups and carry several forward-facing weapons. Dozens of these at a time can be seen in wall formations barraging enemies with forward fire. Compared to the Eversio, the Piaculum is more agile and has a thinner, more streamlines design. Like other frigates, these ships carry a gun that has the power to burn an area the size of a country.
- Supplicium-Class Frigate: 700 meters in length. The Supplicium-class is a frigate and a derivative design of the Piaculum. Being smaller in size, ships of this class require less resources to porudce, but are weaker on the battlefield. Like the Piaculum and other frigates, Supplicium-class ships carry several forward-facing weapons and are designed to attack in large wall formations. Suppliciums also carry a laser cannon that can send ruin to a land area equal to that of a country.
- Ultio-Class Frigate: 800 meters in length. The Ultio-class frigate is a ship specialized for group formations, as are most other frigates. Ultio-classes frequently organize themselves into walls of ships which fire their dozens of forward-facing turrets, guns, and cannons at enemy fleets. The Ultio is unique in its several large panels at the aft side of the ship, which absorb energy from their surroundings and release potent pulses carrying the ability to disable enemy ships. Like most frigates, ships of this class can destroy a large country with their central laser cannon.
- Apollymi-Class Cruiser: 1.05 kilometers in length. The Apollymi is one of the most commonly-used ships in the Garmageddon Sovereignty and its main type of cruiser. These large kilometer-long ships are strong, independent, and multi-purpose; with dozens of weapons facing in all directions, the Apollymi is prepared for an attack from any angle unlike frigates such as the Eversio and Exitium. Apollymi-class cruisers also carry a cannon with the power to destroy a continent from orbit.
- Algol-Class Cruiser: 1.2 kilometers in length. The Algol-class cruiser is a strong, independent ship. These ships are specialized for attacking on their own, with their hundreds of weapons being able to destroy enemy ships from any direction. As such, these cruisers are also multipurpose and are used for a variety of tasks from patrol to as an important flagship. The Algol's continent-destroying gun is even more powerful than the Apollymi's, though the strengths of its other convention weapons are sacrificed as a side effect.
- Iniquity-Class Light Cruiser: 500 meters in length. The Iniquity-class ship plays a similar role to its larger cruiser cousins such as the Apollymi. However, being much smaller, the Iniquity has the designation of light cruiser. Like other cruisers, the Iniquity is armed with a plethora of weapons and is designed for independent fighting. Its smaller size gives it an advantage in energy use and speed. However, cannons and guns are not as abundant as on larger ships like the Apollymi, and its central cannon can only destroy an area the size of a large country as opposed to an entire continent like large cruisers can.
- Ignominy-Class Light Cruiser: 450 meters in length. The Ignominy-class ship plays a similar role to its larger cruiser cousins such as the Apollymi. However, being much smaller, the Ignominy has the designation of light cruiser. Like other cruisers, the Ignominy is armed with a plethora of weapons and is designed for independent fighting. Its smaller size gives it an advantage in energy use and speed. However, cannons and guns are not as abundant as on larger ships like the Apollymi, and its central cannon can only destroy an area the size of a large country as opposed to an entire continent like large cruisers can.
- Apollonius-Class Carrier: 1.6 kilometers in length. The Apollonius-class carrier is a large ship over a kilometer long. Though visually similar to the smaller Apollymi, the Apollonius' purpose in battle is anything but. Ships of this type lack large amounts of conventional weaponry and instead serve to house hundreds of agile fighter planes. Though Apollonius-class ships usually must rely on other ships for protection, they still carry their own strength, containing the same continent-destroying gun as the Apollymi.
- Polyhex-Class Battle Cruiser: 2 kilometers in length. The Polyhex stands as one of the most powerful starships in the entire Garmageddon Navy. With hundreds of cannons and missile turrets littering its immense 2-kilometer hull, this ship proves to be nearly unstoppable on the battlefield and can destroy entire fleets of ships in mere seconds. Its most feared weapon, however, is its inconceivably powerful laser cannon that can send ruin to an entire planet. Polyhex-class ships are infamous for being used to punish dissent; for example, the Polyhex-class ship Nemesia destroyed the planet Cornelia in 2105. Thankfully, due to the resources needed to produce a Polyhex-class, such ships are extremely rare.
Omperion Weapons Group[]
The Omperion Weapons Group is a group of four ship classes derived from the design of the Polyhex-class battle cruiser. Garmageddon began manufacturing the group in response to the war against the Xymidication Empire.
- Alexandru-Class Battle Cruiser: 2.9 kilometers in length. The threat of the Xymidication Empire, as well as the Polyhex-class ships' success in battle and in pacifying dissenting colonies with the threat of planetary destruction, prompted the Garmageddon Sovereignty to produce even more powerful spinoff designs of the Polyhex as part of its Omperion Plan. The Alexandru-Class Battle Cruiser is one of them. Boasting a staggering length of nearly 3 kilometers and carrying hundreds of guns, cannons, and turrets including a planet-destroying orbital gun, the mere sight of an Alexandru-class ship is enough to make any enemy instantly surrender.
- Gherghescu-Class Battle Cruiser: 3.3 kilometers in length. The Gherghescu-class battle cruiser is another product of Garmageddon's Omperion Plan, which entailed numerous ship designs derived from the highly successful Polyhex-class. These ships, like the Alexandru- and Polyhex-classes, carry hundreds of weapons along their 3+ kilometer-long hull. Also like the Alexandru and the Polyhex, they carry a cannon with the power to burn a planet. What makes the Gherghescu unique are its large aft fins, which were borrowed and upscaled from the Ultio-class frigate's design. Like with the Ultio, the Gherghescu's panels absorb energy and can disable the power of an entire fleet.
- Kostlan-Class Battle Cruiser: 4.1 kilometers in length. The Kostlan-Class Battle Cruiser is yet another ship made for Garmageddon's Omperion Plan, which entailed numerous ship designs derived from the highly successful Polyhex-class. Being even larger than the Alexandru- and Gherghescu-classes at a hefty 4.1 kilometers long, the Kostlan carries up to thousands of weapons which can decimate an entire fleet at any angle. In addition, Kostlan-class ships can not only destroy planets, but also their moons or even other planets simultaneously, as they can fire multiple planet-destroying beams at once.
- Garrahan-Class Battle Cruiser: 4.1 kilometers in length. The Garrahan-Class Battle Cruiser is yet another ship made for Garmageddon's Omperion Plan, which entailed numerous ship designs derived from the highly successful Polyhex-class. Being even larger than the Alexandru- and Gherghescu-classes at a hefty 4.1 kilometers long, the Garrahan carries up to thousands of weapons which can decimate an entire fleet at any angle. In addition, Garrahan-class ships can not only destroy planets, but also their moons or even other planets simultaneously, as they can fire multiple planet-destroying beams at once. Furthermore, the Garrahan has a higher mass than the Kostlan and carries the same energy-absorbing fins seen on the Ultio- and Gherghescu-class ships.
Oveerion Weapons Group[]
The Oveerion Weapons Group includes all heavy, super, and hyper star crushers. As the group's name suggests, all ships within the group carry Oveerion Drives, which allow for the creation of artificial black holes. The group was created in response to the war with Zanthe.
Yorgos Weapons Group[]
The Yorgos Weapons Group contains all mega star crushers. Garmgeddon began manufacturing the group in response to the Apatelos Rebellion. The Yorgos Weapons Group includes the largest ships in the GIAF Navy save for the Macbeth Device and the Drori artifacts.
Bilionis Weapons Group[]
The Bilionis Weapons Group is a group of three ship classes specially made for Garmageddon's second attack against the Griffith Republic. The group also includes the Macbeth Device.
Orders[]
Like its predecessor, the Ingffhaestian Federation, the GIAF contains several militaristic orders containing elite military personnel. Compared to Ingffhaestia, however, Garmageddon contains more orders - seven, the Orders of Scentrilla, Kerbos, Novus, Urvinius, Stanford, Yale, and Harvard - as a reflection of its glorification of the military and its powerful nationalism.
Like the Federation's orders, each of Garmageddon's orders are led by a High Grandmaster along with a small group of around 5-10 high-ranking generals. The orders originated as chivalric orders of knights in the Uingffhian Kingdom of Kaywell before being integrated into the wider Ingffhaestian military by Odyssia rei Iphelia in 1774, and later revived into Garmageddon by the Highmost Sovereign in 2115. All seven orders have their headquarters on Uingffh in the region once ruled by Kaywell.
Whenever one reaches a high-ranking position in an order, they adopt the order's name as their surname and gain the nobiliary particle of "rei". However, some generals choose not to abandon their original surname or not to adopt the title of rei.
Imperial Order of Scentrilla[]

Flag of the Imperial Order of Scentrilla
The Imperial Order of Scentrilla is one of seven military orders of the GIAF and was, at one point, the largest of the orders. It held 595 million starships and 3.25 billion members at its peak. Its high grandmaster is Surrealia rei Scentrilla, with notable generals including Forge, Emnitinus, Florazia, Hreas, Grangia, Atum, and Zyr rei Scentrilla - all seven generals as well as Grandmaster Surrealia previously served in the Ingffhaestian Federation's Order of Scenterilla. Its signature color is black.
Imperial Order of Kerbos[]

Flag of the Imperial Order of Kerbos
The Imperial Order of Kerbos is one of seven military orders of the GIAF along with the second-largest of the orders. At its peak, it held 565 billion starships and 3 billion members. It was unique in that its leaders were all part of the same family - its grandmaster was Kelaris rei Kerbos and its highest-ranking generals were Kelaris' seven (adopted) children: Ferno, Byr, Aurus, Laevo, Jove, Lyrne, and Glacen rei Kerbos; all eight individuals were also part of the Ingffhaestian Federation's Order of Kerbos. Its signature color is orange.
Imperial Order of Novus[]

Flag of the Imperial Order of Novus
The Imperial Order of Novus is the third-largest of the seven Garmageddon orders, holding 520 million starships and 2.8 billion members at highest. Its grandmaster was Cyran Infernas Novus, who had also participated in the Ingffhaestian Federation's Order of Novus. Green is its signature color.
Imperial Order of Urvinius[]

Flag of the Imperial Order of Urvinius
The Imperial Order of Urvinius is the GIAF's fourth-largest imperial order. At its peak, Urvinius held 500 million starships and 2.55 billion members. The Order of Urvinius replaced the Ingffhaestian Federation's Order of Korvinius, which Urlum had executed due to non-tabulons making up the entire order. Like Korvinius, Urvinius' signature color is blue.
Imperial Order of Stanford[]

Flag of the Imperial Order of Stanford
The Imperial Order of Stanford is the fifth-largest imperial order of Garmageddon and one of three new orders established by Urlum Eudae Kaywell. The Order of Stanford held 485 million starships and 2.25 billion members at its highest. Its signature color is light red.
Imperial Order of Harvard[]

Flag of the Imperial Order of Harvard
The Imperial Order of Harvard was one of three new orders established by the Highmost Sovereign. It, at its peak, was also the second smallest order with 480 million starships and 2.1 billion members. Its signature color is light yellow green.
Imperial Order of Yale[]
_Flag.png){kind=link}
Flag of the Imperial Order of Yale
The Imperial Order of Yale is the smallest order of the Garmageddon's GIAF, though it is still formidable; at peak, it still held a mighty 455 million starships and 1.98 billion members. The Order of Yale was also one of the three new orders created by Highmost Sovereign Kaywell alongside the orders of Stanford and Harvard. Its signature color is dark navy blue.
Imperial Order of Apollyon/Apollyonic Foundation[]
Flag of the Imperial Order of Apollyon
The Imperial Order of Apollyon, also known as the Apollyonic Foundation, is a secret eighth order that functions as the Garmageddon Sovereignty's anomaly research organization. It is charged with securing, containing, and protecting any anomalous or supernatural objects the Sovereignty encountered, such as the Drori Artifacts.
Notably, the Apollyonic Foundation considers several minority groups, such as the LGBTQ+ community or people with mental disabilities, as anomalous objects. The Foundation doubles as a form of oppression against these groups, with the organization carrying out unethical experimentation, forced labor, imprisonment, execution, etc. on members of said groups.

At its highest, the Garmageddon Sovereignty had a population of around 3 quintillion tabulons. The Sovereignty also houses quintillions more non-tabulon slaves, but Garmageddon does not consider such individuals as people and thus does not count them in censuses.
Garmageddon's tabulon population contains twelve racial/ethnic groups: Kaywellians, Jebellians, Nerusgans, Osuwans, Kelargans, Barians, Uopians, Liyrians, Flornelians, Bagyans, Uveerians, and Morbidians. Barians, Uopians, Flornelians, Bagyans, and Morbidians all occupy a lower percentage of the Garmageddon tabulon population due to systemic racism and discrimination. The numbers of Liyrians and Uveerians drastically dropped during the Isoia-Urdenmark wars due to their association with Isoia-Urdenmark tabulons.
Geographics[]
Map of the Milky Way/Ouroboros Galaxy with courts labelled
At its peak, the Imperial Sovereignty controlled the entire Milky Way Galaxy (renamed to the Ouroboros Galaxy following its conquest of the galaxy), with over 100 billion stars falling under its domain. However, only around 1 billion are inhabited due to the 99 billion other stars not containing planets suitable for colonization or not containing planetary systems to begin with.
Garmageddon divides its territory into several Courts based around key features of the Milky Way such as arms and spurs. Each court is ruled by a High Lord and contains a single system as its capital. A total of 12 courts existed at Garmageddon's peak - one for each of the galaxy's eleven known arms/spurs as well as one for the galactic bulge. Regions outside of the galactic arms - such as the space between arms, the galactic halo, or the globular clusters - are not put into a court due to their low populations of both inhabited star systems and tabulons and are designated non-court territory.
Imperial Ingffhaestian Court[]
The Imperial Ingffhaestian Court is the main court of the Garmageddon Sovereignty, containing its capital/home system of Ingffhaestia and its homeworld of Uingffh. Despite having a rather small size compared to other courts, the Imperial Ingffhaestian Court has the highest population of any Garmageddon court - over 882 quadrillion at Garmageddon's peak. Because the court contains the capital of Garmageddon, the Highmost Sovereign acts as its high lord.
Aureate Stars[]
The twenty most populous star systems (excluding Ingffhaestia itself) in the Imperial Ingffhaestian Court are known as the Aureate Stars. The Aureate Stars are akin to big cities and contain the most developed infrastructure, culture, economies, etc., but also house some of the worst economic inequality in the Sovereignty.
Below is a list of all Aureate Stars. The names assigned to them by humans (if any) are listed in parentheses.
- Kerbitalis-Heranis (55 Cancri B)
- Proma (G 40-25)
- Darrow (Pollux)
- Cassius (Castor A)
- Lumiere (Mu Arae/Cervantes)
- Flornazaria (Kepler-90)
- Hyrical (47 Ursae Majoris)
- Tios (V1400 Centauri)
- Kalaga (Upsilon Andromedae A)
- Tinara (Upsilon Andromedae B)
- Zymarstia (HD 142)
- Polluk (Tau Ceti)
- Mitski (Gliese 581)
- Mortalagueis (Gliese 872)
- Movis (HD 7924)
- Uris (Beta Canum Venaticorum)
- TRAPPIST-1 (Human name is the same as Garmageddon name)
- Nivestia (HD 10180)
- Hevassio (HR 8832)
Irun Court[]
The Irun Court contains the entirety of the Carina-Sagittarius Arm and contains the second-highest population of any court, with the court housing 615 quadrillion tabulons at its peak. The Irun Court was formed following the conquest of the Krybolartarium Empire and comprises all of the empire's former territory.
As its name suggests, the Irun Court's capital system is the Irun System. Irun is a G1V-type star with 7 planets; populated worlds include the desert planet Saho, the oceanic planet Orburn, and the terraformed moons Ghorbani and Ramos orbiting the gas giant Darius. Other populated solar systems in the Irun Court include the Borges, Yuge, Arctorius, and Rulid Systems.
Rojo Court[]
The Rojo Court comprises all of the Perseus Arm and was formed following the invasion of the Xymidication Empire. It and the Valia Court are tied for the largest courts in terms of area, occupying the two largest arms of the Milky Way.
As its name suggests, the Rojo Court’s capital system is the Rojo System, which consists of the M4V-type star Rojo and its 5 orbiting planets. Out of the 5, only the planet Janus is habitable and populated, though plenty of colonies and space stations exist around Rojo’s three gas giant planets - Grigore, Ryllia, and Zorus. Other highly-populated systems in the Rojo Court include the Kaurus, Sylandro, Graxton, and Kegnesia Systems.
Sarisius Court[]
The Sarisius Court, formed after the annexation of the People's Democratic Republic of Finolian, consists of the entire Norma Arm. The Sarisius System, a 9-planet system centered around the A8V-class star Sarisius, forms the capital of this court. Populated worlds in the Sarisius System include Ossia, Ora, and Pleo.
The Sarisius Court is known to contain prosperous star systems with large amounts of planets. For example, the triple star system of Yahya Keshmiri houses a total population of over 296 billion. Another notable star system is the Stellasade System, which is one of only 6 star systems in the entire galaxy known to have over 16 planets in their systems.
Larsha Court[]
The Larsha Court is the court that comprises the galaxy's galactic bulge region. The A6V-type star Larsha and its four-planet system form the capital of the court. The Garmageddon Sovereignty formed the court following its conquest of the Zanthe Republic, the nation that originally inhabited the galactic center.
Because the galactic bulge mostly contains old, aging stars such as red giants, red dwarfs, and white dwarfs, the Larsha Court is rather sparsely populated compared to other courts. However, it is home to many of the Sovereignty's Oveerion Drive factories. In addition, numerous energy conversion plants convert energy emitted by the central black hole, Sagittarius A*, into power usable by Garmageddon settlements and ships.
Valia Court[]
The Valia Court contains the Scutum-Centaurus Arm and all stars within it. It and the Rojo Court form the Imperial Sovereignty's two largest provinces, inhabiting the Milky Way/Ouroboros Galaxy's two largest spiral arms. The Valia System is the capital of this court and consists of a binary between a Sun-like main sequence star (Valia A) and a smaller red dwarf companion (Valia B). Three gas giant planets orbit the Valia stars; most of the system's inhabitants live on Erutan, a habitable moon of the first gas giant, Fersolia.
The Kingdom of Sria inhabited this court prior to its conquest by Garmageddon. Unlike the home systems of other conquered nations, the home system of the Srian Kingdom - the Ictria System - became a major population center and a prosperous colony. It and its two companion stars - the K-type star Faveystria and the white dwarf Yexystria - are home to a population of 285 billion tabulons and even more non-tabulon slaves. In addition, like the Sarisius court, the Valia Court contains several systems with large amounts of planets, including the four solar systems of the Esernium Quaternary System and the star system of Atticus; Atticus in particular is home to the Westmont Station, one of the most prestigious schools in the entire Sovereignty.
Olus Court[]
The Olus Court is a medium-sized province containing the Outer Arm of the Milky Way/Ouroboros and all stars within it. The red giant star system of Olus forms the capital of the Olus Court. Olus contains nine planets including the inhabited planets Endia and Startius. Prior to its colonization by Garmageddon, the Outer Arm was inhabited by the Danulian Federation.
Aside from Olus itself, notable population centers include the Danuvius System (the former home system of the Danulian Federation) and the Azardia System.
Keldaria Court[]
The Keldaria Court consists of the stars in the Kelios Spur, a spur of the Milky Way/Ouroboros newly discovered by Garmageddon in 2135. The Kerbol Union inhabited the Kelios Spur before being invaded by Garmageddon and converted into the Keldaria Court.
The Keldaria System is the capital of the court; in addition to being a K4V-type star, Keldaria is also one of only 6 star systems in the entire galaxy to have 16 planets or more. Despite its small size, the Kelios Spur is home to a wealth of highly-populated systems including Kerbol, Nemis, Balphamia, Vetaris, Prolifia, Staris, Okner, Jebbist, Giro, Tani, Zyth, and Arein.
Virvnius Court[]
The Virvnius Court comprises the Nova Spur of the Milky Way/Ouroboros; like the Kelios Spur, the Nova Spur is a newly-discovered spur found by Garmageddon fleets during the Ouroboros Contingency Plan. Prior to becoming the Virvnius Court, the Nova Spur was inhabited by the Dominion of Nera Nelinis. Some nickname the court the Crimson Court due to the many red stars in the system - a byproduct of the S.D. Locke Cannon's usage on a multitude of stars in the Nova Spur during the invasion of Nera Nelinis.
The Virvnius System itself consists of a K-type main sequence star - Virvnius - orbited by a massive system of 16 planets. Out of the 16 planets, the worlds of Zephyr, Gomulus, Senaria, and Arus contain the most developed colonies. Other highly-populated star systems include the Nerin and Novantus Systems.
Oirator Court[]
The Oirator Court comprises the New Outer Arm region and was the last of the courts to be formed - Garmageddon formed the court following the invasion of the Isoia-Urdenmark Imperium, the last of the Milky Way nations to see invasion during the Sovereignty's galactic conquest. Because of the Isoia-Urdenmark war's length and complexity, many Garmageddon citizens view the Oirator Court as an important historical site; tourism forms one of the most important industries in the court, and many historical museums displaying films, artifacts, objects, writing, etc. related to the war exist in abundance.
Oirator itself is an F8V-type star notable for its fast rotation, which gives it a distinct oblate shape. 7 planets orbit Oirator; of the 7, only the planet Iage contains a high population. However, the habitable zone gas giant Nisitha contains two densely-populated moons: Zyrical and Jios. The New Outer Arm contains comparatively few stars compared to the rest of the galaxy given its distance from the galactic center; as a side effect of this, Oirator is the only urbanized system in the region.
Non-Court Territory[]
Garmageddon designates any of its territory not organized into a court as non-court territory. The Sovereignty's non-court territory mostly consists of the various globular clusters, isolated stars, and rogue planets in the Galactic Halo region. Because of the region's sparse stellar population and remoteness, very few people live there and the Sovereignty does not organize it into a formal court.
Pledge of Highmost Fidelity[]
Like Kalgamania, Garmageddon forces schoolchildren to recite a pledge during each schoolday. The pledge, known as the Pledge of Highmost Fidelity, is modeled after both Kalgamania's pledge and the United States' Pledge of Allegiance, owing to Garmageddon's unique respect for pre-Kalgamanian and Kalgamanian culture. The pledge is transcripted below.
I pledge my highmost fidelity - my order, security, and prosperity - to the flag of the Garmageddon Sovereignty. And to the Highmost Sovereign, to Uingffh, and to the everlasting glory of the tabulon race: a perfect race; blessed by Macbeth themselves; invincible; and destined to spread greatness, stability, and civilization across the universe.
Fight until you die. Kill them as they flee. Inequality is an ally and injustice a friend. These are facts. And facts don't care about your feelings. Glory to Garmageddon!
The pledge originated as a speech made by Arsia rei Tharsis when she initiated the ADHD genocide, motivating the soldiers involved to uphold the values of Garmageddon. The pledge also formed the partial source of Garmageddon's motto.
Motto[]
Facts don't care about your feelings.
The motto of the Garmageddon Sovereignty (reproduced above) has its origins in human conservative commentator Ben Shapiro, who made the quote while discussing Caitlyn Jenner's outing as a transgender woman. The quote later became one of the many right-wing phrases and symbols appropriated by the Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon during its early years; it rose to prominence as the Sovereignty's central motto after being used by Arsia rei Tharsis in her Pledge of Highmost Fidelity.
The motto reflects how the Sovereignty frequently uses (often falsified, biased, or otherwise unreliable) scientific data to justify its extreme policies of bigotry and oppression.
Flag[]
The flag of the Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon carries large amounts of symbolism.
The symbol at the center of the flag is known as the Garmageddon Septuple Crucifix. It is derived from the symbol of the Drori civilization, which also has seven spokes, but contains some variation in order to signify Garmageddon's uniqueness and exceptionalism. It was symbol of the Garmageddonist party that had existed during the Ingffhaestian Civil War.
The red on the flag symbolizes the blood shed by tabulons in carrying the burden of "civilizing" "inferior" races as well as the color of light emitted by Kerbitalis and Heranis, the two red dwarf stars orbiting Ingffhaestia. The yellow on the flag symbolizes wealth, prosperity, capitalism, and the color of light emitted by Ingffhaestia, parent star to the Garmageddon homeworld of Uingffhaestia. The black on the flag symbolizes determination and the darkness of space.
The ten bars/lines on the flag are arranged in a radiant fashion to symbolize how the Garmageddon Sovereignty will bring the light of civilization, common law, virtue and morality located in Macbethism and Urlumism, free-market capitalism, and the sanctity of private property. The fact that ten bars exist on the flag later came to symbolize Garmageddon's ten courts. The 30 stars surrounding the Garmageddon Septuple Cross symbolize the 30 most important star systems in the Garmageddon Sovereignty: Ingffhaestia, the 20 populous Aureate stars located in the Orion-Cygnus Arm, and the 9 stars that make up the capitals of the courts.
Plans[]
During her reign, Highmost Sovereign Urlum Eudae Kaywell drafted several complex, long-winded plans to acheive particular large-scale goals. These include the Garmageddon Primary Plan, the Ouroboros Contingency Plan, and the Apatelos Elimination Plan. Each of these plans were divided into several sub-plans focusing on more specific tasks.
Garmageddon Primary Plan[]
The Garmageddon Primary Plan was created before the formation of Garmageddon itself and served to acheive the aforementioned purpose: to create Garmageddon and form the foundation of a galactic superpower. Due to the plan's quick success, Highmost Sovereign Kaywell only saw the need to create four phases (in contrast to Ouroboros Contingency's 13 and Apatelos Elimination's 6).
- Polyhex Plan
- Redemption Plan
- Imperialization Plan
- Earth Capture Plan
Ouroboros Contingency Plan[]
As tabulons of noble Uingffhaestia, spreading our greatness and order across the galaxy is our duty... our obvious fate... our manifest destiny.
Urlum Eudae Kaywell
The Ouroboros Contingency Plan formed the main plan of the Garmageddon Sovereignty, with most of its major wars and conquests during its lifespan being a part of the Ouroboros Plan and its sub-plans. Its goal was the conquest of the entire Milky Way galaxy - a goal rooted in the racist, imperalist notion that other sentient races were genetically inferior and that tabulons, as a superior race, bore the critical responsibility of "civilizing" these inferior races. The plan had 13 phases - the most of any plan drafted by Urlum Eudae Kaywell.
- Industrialization Plan
- Galaxies Unbound Plan
- Hebrew Eclipse Plan
- Omperion Plan
- Kristallnacht Empire Plan
- Capitalist Uprising Plan
- Oveerion Plan
- Trans-Galactic Arm Plan
- Georgakas Capture Plan
- Cyclonic Doomsday Plan
- World Devastator Plan
- Daybreak Plan
- Black Hole Resurgence Plan
Apatelos Elimination Plan[]
The Apatelos Elimination Plan involved counter-measures against the newly-risen Apatelos Rebellion, where human slaves in the Garmageddon-controlled Apatelos (Epsilon Indi) System revolted against their tabulon masters and declared their system independent. The plan also involved further expansionism as the Sovereignty conquered regions suspected as Apatelos Rebellion strongholds. It had 6 phases.
- Apatelos Capture Plan
- Non-Tabulon Elimination Plan
- Globular Imperium Plan
- Yorgos Plan
- Revectorio Experiment Plan
- Bilionis Plan
Notable Individuals[]
Urlum Eudae Kaywell[]
.png){kind=link}
Urlum Eudae Kaywell founded the Garmageddon Sovereignty in 2105 and acted as its Highmost Sovereign. She was known for her exceptional strategic and tactical prowess; engineering complex, clever methods to colonize other civilizations. Among one of her most well-known plans was the Ouroboros Contingency Plan - a multi-phase, methodical campaign with an end goal of conquering the entire Milky Way Galaxy. Kaywell notably utilized a different central strategy for every nation she conquered in order to confuse her enemies.
Prior to the formation of Garmageddon, Kaywell acted as the leader of the Seraphim Rebellion against the Holy Empire of Earth-Kalgamania. Once a famous social and political activist, her involvement in the Drori Invicta cult led to a radical change in her beliefs to far-right ultrafascism and, eventually, the formation of Garmageddon itself.
Olympus rei Tharsis[]
Olympus rei Tharsis was a Conquerator and a close confidant of Urlum following the Garmageddon Sovereignty's formation. He led numerous cruel military operations involving the destruction of entire planets, such as the destruction of the inhabited moon Cornelia in 2105; this earned him the nickname of Ash Lord. He had three children: Arsia, Pavonis, and Ascraeus rei Tharsis; all of whom were just as, if not even more ruthless than Olympus himself.
Arsia rei Tharsis[]
Arsia rei Tharsis was one of Garmageddon's most prominent generals and the oldest daughter of Olympus rei Tharsis. She was widely regarded as the cruelest of the Tharsis siblings; she would publicly mock her opponents during fights and bring up her hatred of non-tabulon intelligent life in casual conversations. Arsia participated in numerous influential wars such as Griffith's Rebellion, where her first flagship Portavia destroyed numerous populous Earth regions including India. She later participated in the conquest of the Zanthe Republic, where her second flagship, the Imperator-class hyper star crusher Melania, warped into the Zanthe-controlled Zexus System. She also took part in the sabotage of the Sria Kingdom's futile attempt at a peace treaty with Garmageddon, poisoning the Srian officials with a deadly virus.
Arsia rei Tharsis was particularly bigoted against people with ADHD. On January 5, 2112 (in the midst of Griffith's Rebellion), she sent a massive army of over 40 million fasces to the Earth's surface as part of a genocidal campaign against those with ADHD. The fasces succeeded in wiping out 99% of the population of people with ADHD on Earth during the so-called ADHD genocide.
She and her two siblings would later lead the Restored Sovereignty from 2199-2202 and the Second Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon from 2202 onwards. Following the second Garmageddon’s annexation into the Intersoulversal Empire of Inogifh-Utarang B, Arsia would defect to the ISE-IUB and faithfully serve as one of its most prominent admirals.
Pavonis rei Tharsis[]
Pavonis rei Tharsis was one of Garmageddon's most prominent generals, the younger wester (somale term for brother/sister) of Arsia and Ascraeus, and the youngest of Olympus rei Tharsis' three children. Though inferior in skill and cruelty to fir sister Arsia, Pavonis was still widely feared by Garmageddon's enemies and respected by fellow Garmageddon individuals, taking part in numerous crucial events and battles in the Sovereignty's history. Fe participated in Griffith's Rebellion alongside fir siblings and captained the Imperator-class hyper star crusher Roque during the Garmageddon invasion of Zanthe. Pavonis also formally declared the rejection of the Sria Kingdom's treaties in 2132 after Arsia murdered the Srian attendees of the treaty signing.
Pavonis was noted to be an influential poet in addition to a war figure. Fe would right numerous works of poetry in fir free time between battles and wars, which fe often released to the public, where they would gain critical acclaim. Pavonis' poetry revolved around patriotism and nationalism, with common themes including praise for the Garmageddon Sovereignty, retellings of famous battles and wars, and (most notably) hatred of non-tabulon species and nations. In one of fir most famous poems, The Tabulon's Burden, Pavonis writes about tabulons' perceived genetic superiority and other civilizations' inferiority, encouraging Garmageddon citizens to "take up the tabulon's burden" and assume colonial control over other peoples and countries.
Fe and fir two siblings would later lead the Restored Sovereignty from 2199-2202 and the Second Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon from 2202 onwards. Following the second Garmageddon’s annexation into the Intersoulversal Empire of Inogifh-Utarang B, Pavonis was brainwashed into serving the ISE-IUB.
Ascraeus rei Tharsis[]
Ascraeus rei Tharsis was one of Garmageddon's most prominent generals and the second-oldest of Olympus rei Tharsis’ three children, being older than Pavonis but younger than Arsia. Though Ascraeus did not participate in Garmageddon’s war affairs as much as his siblings, he still had his fair share of involvement in the Sovereignty; he participated in the first war against the Griffith Republic, the invasion of the Danulian Federation’s capital, and the destruction of Earth. Ascraeus notably idolized his father Olympus and publicly vowed to live up to his name, going as far as imitating Olympus’ mannerisms and sharing his father’s taste for planetary destruction.
He and his two siblings would later lead the Restored Sovereignty from 2199-2202 and the Second Imperial Sovereignty of Garmageddon from 2202 onwards. Following the second Garmageddon’s annexation into the Intersoulversal Empire of Inogifh-Utarang B, Ascraeus was brainwashed into serving the ISE-IUB.
