Dirkingo Empire

The Dirkingo Empire was a state that controlled Cragis, Devross, and Fulminar from its creation in 0 to its invasion in 2,138 by the Fletkin Empire.

The Fracturing
The Dirkingos were quick to become independent, and, because the empire possessed relatively large mineral reserves, was actually a target of diplomacy by the Venturnem Territory. All of these attempts failed, and the Dirkingos fully rejected any offer of consolidation.

The First Galactic Empire
The Dirkingos adopted an alternate tactic to many other states: diplomacy. As the Dirkingos were located in an ethnically diverse region, there were many smaller, weaker empires that they could exploit. They had skirmishes with the Enderogs, but nothing that could be called an adverse conflict.

The Enderog-Dirkingo War
In 1,734, the Enderog Empire suddenly attacked a Dirkingo installation in Brevjka, a slight that caused the Dirkingos to completely consolidate their allies and brutally attack the border systems of the Enderogs. The war was at a standstill until 1,865, when Dirkingo forces made deep cuts into Enderog territory. The Enderogs were defeated in 1,984.

The Dirkingo-Fletkin War
The Dirkingos had no time to recover, as in 2,000, the Fletkin Empire sent an agent who assassinated the current president, leading to an emergency tribunal. Within 36 hours, war was declared on the Fletkins and the first battle of the war was underway-Drieg. By the end of the Battle of Drieg, it was clear that the Dirkingos were going to lose.

The Battle of Dirkens
In 2,143, Fletkin forces entered Dirkens, the capital of the Dirkingo Empire. Ten hours later, a Minslei insurgency also entered. Chaos erupted. In one of the most intense space battles of history, the entire system was left uninhabitable, and the Dirkingo Empire was destroyed.
