Various powers rose and fell as the lizards began to better adopt plasma, stone, copper, and iron. As writing developed and societies became more stable, some even began to experiment with some of the '''bluespace''' crystals that could be found lodged into mountainsides. Because of its instabilities, several incidents would cause destruction or the disappearance of laboratories. By around 2401, the most prominent civilized power was the '''Opsillian Empire''', a plutocratic power that heavily exploited its many plasma mines in the '''Moghes Desert'''. By this point, the vuulen were capable of harnessing the element in their forges and smelteries, also supplementing it in certain weaponry. For example, they used slings that would hail bottles of heated plasma at their foes, or they utilized spears and arrows forged from '''plasmaglass'''. While '''plasteel''' was capable of being produced, it was rare, and the immeasurably tough metal was unideal for crafting weaponry. Instead. it was hammered into awkward, rough plates of armor or shielding. Most of the population worked as farmers or as miners in this age, with various militaries, guilds, and marks of civilization being made. Conflicts regarding security or prosperity continued through this medieval age. | Various powers rose and fell as the lizards began to better adopt plasma, stone, copper, and iron.

As the first wave of human explorers entered the '''Val System''', scans on the planet of Sangris revealed the life that had begun to spread across its surface, and telescopes confirmed the existence of the strange, bipedal humanoids. Seeing the relatively primitive state of their being, the '''Sol Representative Board''' passed an ordinance to quickly make safe contact. While several corporations, most of all '''[[Nanotrasen]]''', salivated at the rich veins of plasma on the planet, | As the first wave of human explorers entered the '''Val System''', scans on the planet of Sangris revealed the life that had begun to spread across its surface, and telescopes confirmed the existence of the strange, bipedal humanoids. Seeing the relatively primitive state of their being, the '''Sol Representative Board''' passed an ordinance to quickly make safe contact. While several corporations, most of all '''[[Nanotrasen]]''', salivated at the rich veins of plasma on the planet, more notable was a reliable source of bluespace crystals present in Sangris' mountainsides. At this point, the few crystals corporations had were quickly being tested and approved for usage in some of the first '''FTL''' drives. | ||
The events of first contact turned violent. Equipped with biosuits and armor-piercing rounds, the diplomatic team failed to make peaceful discourse with the lizard garrison in a small town on the outskirts of the Opsillian Empire. When interaction with alien biology was confirmed to be safe, marine forces were deployed to occupy the town. Thus began a rapid campaign to conquer the planet. Primarily a ground invasion with little naval bombardment from above. specific orders were given to retain as much of the population as possible, and the vuulen stood little chance against the invading force. When news of the invasion reached the public ear, opinion was vastly split. While a naval blockade prevented others from landing on the planet, information leaks were inevitable. The soldiers that sent data back to home networks were quietly discharged or executed for treason, though military command could not afford to impose a communication blackout on the planet, due to the vast area of their campaign. | The events of first contact turned violent.
