	The first Autarch, Sesinerra, was notably more warlike than many of her successors. The Varbudian Union and the other neighboring states tended to be too busy intimidating each other to focus on an all-out conflict with Talar. Luckily for everyone in the Union except her family, Sesinerra died in childbirth before she could goad the Kaegans or Ravoryl into war, leaving her clan to raise her newborn triplets and leaving her nation at peace with its neighbors.		The first Autarch, Sesinerra, was notably more warlike than many of her successors.

Luckily for everyone in the Union except her family, Sesinerra died in childbirth before she could goad the Kaegans or Ravoryl into war, leaving her clan to raise her newborn triplets and leaving her nation at peace with its neighbors.

	Sesinerra's successors were much better than her at the arts of peace, deftly guiding the newborn nation in the chaotic ocean of of interstellar politics. Unfortunately, affairs within the Union were not so nice. All but one of the next four Autarchs were assassinated by a variety of extremist factions who disliked the way they were steering the Union and often believed in xenophobic ideas of Q'Mau supremacy. After this, it became a running joke in society that the position of Autarch was somehow cursed, although the lack of evidence for an actual curse made this mostly ineffective in actual politics. The next three leaving without fanfare after medium-length terms dispelled the notion.

	In 1 BC, the states coreward of the Talarian Union coalesced into the [[Verdan Federation]]. This mostly removed the potential threat of the expanding Varbudian colonies by making it more difficult for that particular faction to start anything, but if anything was started it would have the full weight of the new Federation behind it. Luckily for everyone, both the Union and the Federation were assisting in the rebellions of the Tyran Empire, side-by-side with their old rivals. Notably, Talarian fleets played a pivotal role in the [[Battle of Vistari]], ensuring the later independence of [[Marakat (Silky Way)\|Marakat]]. As well, they were present at the Bakino Campaign in the newly declared [[Voyorras]]. After the end of the war, the Union offered assistance to the newly independent nations and remained within the [[Yazera Pact]] as a founding member.

	The designated survivors of the Union government were spirited away to a hidden station in the limit cloud of the [[Alera Asenis System]], their commands routed to surviving local governments through several different 190-part chains of relays pre-established for the purpose. Autarch Ensinarra practically needed to be kidnapped to make her leave her people. The Kahea Citizens' Broadcast kept yammering about the weather and local news as normal until the last minutes of the planet's existence, as if a comforting ritual. Within hours of the spears arriving at the planet, the remaining ships of the military saw their dead hulls cast aside, and the planetary shield glowed neon blue with the shuddering impacts of the Void's unequaled weaponry. After just 46 minutes, the shield broke, and it was over. The Voidspears bombarded the planet with ferocity unseen in the history of the Vernarca Nebula, quickly reducing the gleaming towers and shining seas to an expanding cloud of cooling rubble. They sucked up various shards of planetary rubble to repair themselves, and left for more important matters.

	The people of the Talarian Union slowly picked up the pieces, and the words of Ensinarra and the survivors of Mev'Dar became a thin comfort to the minds of the [[Q'Mau]]. On their ravages, the Void had already halved the population of the species, and there was every chance that the marauding Spears would return to Talarian space to finish the job. The government began to reestablish itself in the cit of Ali Dashar on [[Chachin]], allocating all possible resources to the rebuilding of surviving worlds.

	The first appearance of the [[Void]] on the far side of the territory of the [[Carremmat Ro'kasa]] in 147 forced a pause in hostilities between the alliance and the Yazera Pact. The [[Vauratin Empire]] had already pulled out of the war following [[Rexir's Coup]] in 146, and the [[New Union of Xeriphas]] was having second thoughts, but this forced the issue. The [[Treaty of Praxis]] was signed by all members of the [[Yazera Pact]] and all members of the now-misnamed [[Alliance of Five]] except the [[Kaegan Sovereignty]], shortly after the destruction of the [[Iccobar System]] by the [[Void]]. Now, Talarian ships fought side by side with their former foes, and the withdrawal of support for the Kaegan Sovereignty greatly diminished its capacity to wage war against its traditional enemies.

	The Union itself would feel much less of this phase of the war until 150, when the [[Arwell System]] was destroyed and the final Void offensive began. Voidspears began to pour through the Szalana Wormhole, making for the nearest centers of power to eliminate any resistance to their harvest. Unfortunately for everyone, involved, the closest national capital to the wormhole was in fact [[Mev'Dar]], marking it as among the first targets.		The Union itself would feel much less of this phase of the war until 150, when the [[Arwell System]] was destroyed and the final Void offensive began. In early 150, [[Su'uni Ash Nikal]]'s [[Working Title Fleet]] amassed at [[Chachin]] around the [[FSS Kareland]], before jumping to the wormhole. Shortly afterwards, Voidspears began to pour through the Szalana Wormhole, making for the nearest centers of power to eliminate any resistance to their harvest. Unfortunately for everyone, involved, the closest national capital to the wormhole was in fact [[Mev'Dar]], marking it as among the first targets.

	The oncoming [[Voidspear]]s carved a bloody path through Union space, shredding numerous habitats within the [[Merrilor System]]. They set a direct course for the [[Talar System]], correctly sensing it as the nerve center for the region's activities, and went directly for [[Mev'Dar]]. The Talarian fleets put everything they had into the fight against the [[Void]], with catastrophic engagements at Dorga in interstellar space and even Endar in the Talar System only managing to temporarily disable one of the three voidspears at the cost of millions of military personnel. Evacuation efforts of population centers in the Voidspears' path only managed to evacuate a scant few million people before they arrived and began to lay waste to the planet.

The [[Vauratin Empire]] had already pulled out of the war following [[Rexir's Coup]] in 146, and the [[New Union of Xeriphas]] was having second thoughts, but this forced the issue. The [[Treaty of Praxis]] was signed by all members of the [[Yazera Pact]] and all members of the now-misnamed [[Alliance of Five]] except the [[Kaegan Sovereignty]], shortly after the destruction of the [[Iccobar System]] by the [[Void (Silky Way)\|Void]]. Now, Talarian ships fought side by side with their former foes, and the withdrawal of support for the Kaegan Sovereignty greatly diminished its capacity to wage war against its traditional enemies.

	The Union itself would feel much less of this phase of the war until 150, when the [[Arwell System]] was destroyed and the final Void offensive began. In early 150, [[Su'uni Ash Nikal]]'s [[Working Title Fleet]] amassed at [[Chachin]] around the [[FSS Kareland]], before jumping to the wormhole. Shortly afterwards, Voidspears began to pour through the Szalana Wormhole, making for the nearest centers of power to eliminate any resistance to their harvest. Unfortunately for everyone, involved, the closest national capital to the wormhole was in fact [[Mev'Dar]], marking it as among the first targets.

	The oncoming [[Voidspear]]s carved a bloody path through Union space, shredding numerous habitats within the [[Merrilor System]]. They set a direct course for the [[Talar System]], correctly sensing it as the nerve center for the region's activities, and went directly for [[Mev'Dar]]. The Talarian fleets put everything they had into the fight against the [[Void]], with catastrophic engagements at Dorga in interstellar space and even Endar in the Talar System only managing to temporarily disable one of the three voidspears at the cost of millions of military personnel. Evacuation efforts of population centers in the Voidspears' path only managed to evacuate a scant few million people before they arrived and began to lay waste to the planet.

	The designated survivors of the Union government were spirited away to a hidden station in the limit cloud of the [[Alera Asenis System]], their commands routed to surviving local governments through several different 190-part chains of relays pre-established for the purpose. Autarch Ensinarra practically needed to be kidnapped to make her leave her people. The Kahea Citizens' Broadcast kept yammering about the weather and local news as normal until the last minutes of the planet's existence, as if a comforting ritual. Within hours of the spears arriving at the planet, the remaining ships of the military saw their dead hulls cast aside, and the planetary shield glowed neon blue with the shuddering impacts of the Void's unequaled weaponry. After just 46 minutes, the shield broke, and it was over. The Voidspears bombarded the planet with ferocity unseen in the history of the Vernarca Nebula, quickly reducing the gleaming towers and shining seas to an expanding cloud of cooling rubble. They sucked up various shards of planetary rubble to repair themselves, and left for more important matters.

	Even before this, Chachin's history is long and storied, acting as one of the first self-sustaining off-world colonies of the [[Q'Mau]] species. Its many nations helped to champion the cause of the original [[Talarian Union]] in 57 BC, and were in talks to host the national capital until the Alliance of Ishasi consented to join the Union. Physically, Chachin's large ring system is considered to be a national treasure and mining is prohibited there. Views of Ishtal from its vicinity or surface were a common subject of postcards.
