Early History

Its history starts with a group of colony ships landing in Lake Aqumis in 68,000 CE, and remaining free of any conflict until 72,000 CE, when an Alliance fleet invaded the world, with little resistance, as the inhabitant were merely trying to survive themselves, as the raised cities were not built at this point. The Alliance began to industrialize and nationalized what very few factories the planet has.

The Alliance presence concerned a few members of the old democratic government and subsequently went into exile into the mountains, and communicating with the Volkanian Republic, who did send supplies via Illicit trade. The Quimaqum Resistance was officially established in 73,002 CE, with support from the Republic.

Quimaqum's War against the NJSA

Quimaqumian Resistance forces would chip away at the NJSA garrison by committing Arson, Sabotage, killing of high-ranking officers, and when their success spread, capturing villages from the Alliance Army. Alliance counterattacks would do heavy casualties and commit genocide against the inhabitants. Despite this, Quimaqum Resistance Forces did eventually drive the Alliance Army out of the planet, and with the help of the Volkanian Fleet, out of the entire system by the time the Volkanian Republic collapsed in the mid 50,000s CE
