History

Liminibus was formed more than 331 million years ago. Single cell life formed 177 million years ago, and then multicellular photosynthesizing life arose 278 million years ago.

Liminibus has been known to humanity since 2102, having been discovered by NASA. It was named after Linda Liminibus, who was the governor of the American state South Dakota at the time of its discovery.

The first spacecraft to reach Liminibus was the unmanned probe called Tiller of Soil. The first human to set foot on Liminibus was cosmonaut Srirasmi Derfkins.

It was first settled by humans nearly 300 years later in January 2398. These humans set up the settlement New Mumbai, after the city of Mumbai on Earth. Jiang Li Martinez was elected as the first Gubernator of Liminibus.

In 2448, the people of Liminibus celebrated their 50 year anniversary. By then, the population had increased from 1,500 in 2398 to 13,800.

In 2531, all but one species of the native Liminibus life went extinct. The only remaining species, the fern-like Dongflorps (Dongius Florpia), survived only because the people of Liminibus cultivate it for food.

Being one of the more far flung colony worlds, Liminibus did not see much growth for 1000 years until humanity began spreading out farther into the universe. Liminibus experienced a population boom in the early 37th century, when the number of inhabitants rose from 121,000 to 4,901,000 in a span of thirty years.

In 3654, the Union of Humanity (one of the successor states of United Earth) experienced its 11th major economic depression since it was founded in 2997. For this reason many worlds under UH governance seceded, some becoming independent single-planet nations, others forming new coalitions. Liminibus, with its newly gained wealth and economic power, was one such planet that seceded. A bloody civil war was fought by three factions: the Union of Humanity supporters, the independent Liminibus supporters, and Boronskepp Corp, a corrupt business conglomeration known for exploiting entire worlds for labor and resources (see: the Terbavush Conflicts). The nine year long war that was called the War of Three turned into a stalemate, and all three factions divided up Liminibus into three entities: The Free Nation of Liminibus, who fought for liberation from the Union of Humanity, the Autonomous Province of Liminibus, under control by the UH, and the Boronskepp governed Liminibus Special Administrative Zone

The tenuous peace among these factions did not last for long. In 3688, the Boronskepp Corp declared war on the Union of Humanity to claim its part of Liminibus. The UH at this time was fighting several other rebellions, and Liminibus was only small slice of its territory, and so those who stayed loyal to the UH suffered defeat in the August of 3695. This war, called the Struggle for the Liberation of the Oppressed by Boronskepp, and the Defense against Boronskepp Expansion by those who were on the opposing side, was even bloodier than the War of Three. The Free Nation of Liminibus declared war on Boronskepp for the UH's side, but pulled out in mid 3690 when they realized how much stronger Boronskepp had become. Though the UH side fought til the bitter end, inflicting several thousand casualties on Boronskepp mercenaries, they ultimately were defeated in the Battle of Kemperlu on the 3rd of August, 3695. The UH Chief Administrator of Liminibus, Carol Dewhite Sploogehead, was executed summarily after she signed the UH Liminibus Instrument of Secession. And so Boronskepp Corp became ever more powerful.

Throughout this war, the people of the Free State of Liminibus were afraid. They feared for their freedom, for the safety of their families, and the security of their future.
