The Commonwealth Empty The Commonwealth

Post by ian Mon May 11, 2009 3:03 am

Hey all.

Figured i might as well make it official - The Commonwealth has crossed servers (from Dune) to join the party on Aderan Wars Very Happy

You won't find The Commonwealth on the alliance rankings due to it being a hidden alliance.

Our objectives are like they ve always been - to grow in peace and deal with things diplomatically as much as possible. That said, for anyone who's not encountered us before, we don't deal well with intimidation or threats - and don't have an issue about launching preemptive strikes and starting alliance/ empire wars without warning if we ve been pushed into a corner, or feel justified in doing so.

But - we much rather peace and diplomacy Smile

History:

A brief history of TC for anyone who's interested:

We were originally founded on Dune wars with the objective of counter-acting the dominant powers of the time economically and militarily - and basically to prevent any single power ever dominating the server AND using that power inappropriately (we had no problem with others dominating the server, so long as they didn't use this power to smash the smaller guys around lol).

In our time on Dune, we swelled to around 49 members at one point, and reached our economic zenith of growing faster than the next 6 alliances combined... up untill large chunks of our membership hit the game's growth limits, got bored and eithier went less active, or left. We probably throughout our time on Dune had anything up to 100 different members pass through our ranks throughout different stages of the game.

Militarily we accounted for starting (without warning Smile) 3 of the major 5 alliance/ empire wars to have been fought on Dune- being directly involved in 4 of them. Overall, of the total time alliance wars were waged on Dune... we clocked up 118 days out of the 154 days of alliance-warfare fought on the server - 76.6% of the total duration. We also have been at war with every major power on Dune now Sad

We are coming up to our 17months anniversary the 13th of May - meaning we ve been in existence for roughly 510 days (thus have spent 1 day at war, for every 4.3 days of peace we ve had lol).

- Longest war fought so far is 86 days.
- Largest war started: Involved 6 different alliances - Peacekeepers (TC) + U.N.S.C (TC) vs. The Dynasty Empire - Mass Brutality, Guild of Assassins and The Imperium.
- Greatest achievement: Going from being less than 25% of Dynasties economic generation, to eventually closing to within 72% of their economic generation at the point of the second TC vs. Dynasty War - and shortly after that (2months later) exceeding them and eventually growing faster briefly (for about 4 weeks) of the next 6 alliances combined
- Greatest Weakness: We tend to start wars, coupled with an extensive alliance memberbase which makes fighting those wars very difficult (spread out supply chain).

Objectives for the future:

Become Aderan Wars number 1 superpower.
Continue being a peaceful diplomatic alliance

Any questions - or if anyone simply wants to chat, feel free to add me on msn - ianjones1246@hotmail.co.uk

Thanks

The Commonwealth Narrative (story so far lol):


Death Reaver wrote:Since The Beginning Of Time Man Has Always Thought Himself To Be Alone In The Universe, With The Creation Of The UNSC And The Discovery Of The Slipstream Drive, Man Was Proven Wrong, Man Discovered That There Were Other Races, Other Beings, Other Empires, And Some Of Them Weren't Friendly At All. Man Came Across a Great Race, a Great Alliance - That Of The Peacekeepers.

With The End Of The UNSC/Covenant War The Two Groups Joined Together In An Empire Spanning Three Whole Galaxies, Adding On New Races When They Were Found. The Main Fighting Force Keeping The Peace Within The Empire, Were The PeaceKeepers, A Dedicated Group Of Men And Women Trained And Hardened For Battle From The Spartan And Elite Programs.

With The Empire Growing At Amazing Speed, And With Many Worlds Demanding Sovereignty And Free Elections, The Empire Dissipated From A Republic To A Democratic System, Where Every World Would Have A Voice. With The Reformation Of The New Democratic System Came A New Name, A Name Of Respect, A Name Of Fear To Those Who Would Try To Destroy It, The Commonwealth.

With The Commonwealth’s PeaceKeepers, And Their Elitist Highguard Strike Teams
They Will Enter This Section Of The Galaxy And Return It To What It Once Was.

Live For The Past
Die For The Future
Fight For The Present
And Never Give Up

With the formation of The Commonwealth on January the 13th, 2008 the Dune universe was changed forever. The armies of the Peacekeepers and U.N.S.C marched across the Dune Galaxy, restoring peace in the name of defending the weaker alliances and realms.

For 17 months The Commonwealth, watched over by its mighty armies, endured against all that was thrown against it. Wave after wave of marauders and barbarians crashed against The Commonwealth forces and defences. Battle after Battle was fought - first against the mighty armies of the Dynasty Empire - the great coalition of the alliances Mass Brutality, The Imperium and Guild of Assassins - then against the secretive and cunning Nexus coalition, with the powerful alliances Black Watch, Knights of Vengeance and The Grand Coalition. Throughout and between these wars a continous struggle waged as The Commonweath armed forces fought to hold the smaller realms at bay - intent on pillaging and plundering the rich peaceful realms of The Commonwealth.

But as with all things, The Commonwealth's days finally drew to a close................. for 14months the Dune Universe prospered, with many realms and many leaders growing, interacting, fighting and trading with one another. For 14months the edges of the Dune Universe continued to expand, with an ever growing numbers of realms and people - but overtime this expansion slowed, untill finally, roughly 14months after the Big Bang and the birth of the Dune universe, the expansion ceased and the edges of the universe began to roll backwards.

No one knows why the Dune universe began to shrink, all that is known is that the mysterious phenomenon swallowed up whole realms and alliances, while other realms and alliances fell inactive and died. For 3 months The Commonwealth empire watched in horror and sadness as their home - their place or origin - The Dune Universe slowly shrank, encompassing ever fewer realms, ever fewer leaders and ever less interaction between what realms remained.

Complacent by the experience gained from numerous victories against other realms and alliances, and demoralised by the growing collapse of the Dune Universe, coupled with the loss of several Commonwealth realms to the mysterious realm wiping phenomenon, The Commonwealth let its defences down.

And so, 14months after TC's foundation, a new and mighty power arose - The Order of The Iron Fist. The day came, when this mighty power, without warning, swept across the frontiers of The Commonwealth, wiping out entire realms and defences, sweeping aside the armies of The Commonwealth. This day was Febuary the 7th 2009.

Faced with only one possibility - The complete annihilation and disbandment of The Commonwealth federation - The Commonwealth rallied its forces and realms to hold the line against its enemies one last time. And so, began the last war of The Commonwealth.

For 3months the 2 great powers fought against one another, locked in an desperate struggle for survival, by the end of which each had fought the other to a stand still. With the Dune universe collapsing around them, and their realms and leaders tired of war, finally, May the 4th 2009, both great powers agreed upon a mutual ceasefire, and so the guns fell silent.

And so - 17months after its foundation, with its emergence from its conflict with The Order of The Iron Fist, The Commonwealth, realising the the extent the Dune Universe had shrank, and just how few alive and active realms remained, made a decision.

The Commonwealth, as a alliance and coalition of realms, leaders and friends, chose to not perish with the rest of the realms and alliances of Dune, when finally the Dune universe collapses in upon itself. The greatest scientists and minds of The Commonwealth Empire, together, collectively pooled all their knowledge and resources into the development of a great gateway, a gateway to span the void between universes, opening out upon another universe.

Through this gateway, many of The Commonwealth's leaders and realms went, what universe they went to noone knows. All that is known is that somewhere out there, in another universe similar to Dune's, a new fledgling Commonwealth Empire is forming - safeguarding the legacy and history of The Commonwealth Empire.

Those who departed the Dune Universe to found The Commonwealth elsewhere, will never forget their origins or history, or every alliance and realm in the Dune universe which has formed part of that history.

With many of the realms leaders having left for another universe, while a handful continue to keep a presence in both universe's, a final meeting of The Commonwealth federation was held.

The decision was made, that with so many of its original realms having left the Dune Universe, to finally end The Commonwealth Empire on Dune. The remaining realms will decide upon the new name for their coalition, and on the 13th of May, 2009 - exactly 17months after its foundation, The Commonwealth Empire in the Dune Universe will officially come to an end.

The coalition on Dune which remains of The Commonwealth Empire will never forget the legacy The Commonwealth gave it - but it is time for that coalition to find its own legacy, and build its own history - and for The Commonwealth in the other universe(s) to continue its own.

The New Empire Begins.

On a deserted planet, far out on the outskirts of the Aderan Universe, a large wormhole opened out. Through this wormhole came all the leaders, family and people, who had fled through the gate in the Dune Universe to avoid the imminent collapse of Dune. On this planet they began to build in the shadows, looking out among the stars and watching the other realms, empires and alliances of the Aderan Universe, ready for the day when they would retake their rightful place in the universe.........

To be continued Wink

Live For The Past
Die For The Future
Fight For The Present
And Never Give Up.

War is our imperitive, and so we, The Commonwealth, shall fight! Long live The Commonwealth! Smile

On the flip side, several of your HC (along with a handpicked few others) were informed of the existence of TC before you changed the name from NSA lol

Personally it doesn't bother me eithier way if 2 alliances have the same abbreviation lol - The Commonwealth is not going to change its name or abbreviation (17months history), and nor really should The Company since its not really a big deal.

It could just lead to "interesting" situations where people get completely confused as to who is referring to what lol. Plus should eithier The Commonwealth or The Company declare war on anyone, they should be sure to make the topic title "The Commonwealth declares war" or "The Company declares war" - otherwise if its just "TC declares waR" and some half switched on enemy grunt wanders onto the forum, briefly reads the topic, then acts - there's a reasonable possibility they might go after the wrong people Very Happy lol

But - any posts by myself which mentions "TC" refers to The Commonwealth, so don't get confused people! Smile

Figured i d update this.

The Commonwealth is now well entrenched on Aderan Wars, has a functioning and very fast growing economy and a reasonably credible military capability. We aren't the largest or powerfullest yet (having been around for just over 2months, vs. all the main alliances 6months+), but all good things take time.

Since the core of The Commonwealth is now inplace, The Commonwealth is looking to incorporate new players into the alliance. If your interested hit me up on msn - ianjones1246@hotmail.co.uk... or message me ingame (ingame name kilo).

Thanks Smile

Peace through Power, Power through Unity. Long Live the empire!

The Commonwealth will soon in the next month or 2 be forming a visible presence on Aderan Wars. While the Commonwealth Empire is not yet open to direct applications, we will be actively looking to establish a list of future candidates for membership of the empire. Applying to myself ingame (ingame name kilo) now means you ll be able to join as soon as the empire becomes a visible threat on Aderan Wars Smile.

Applicants who apply before the empire becomes visible, will if accepted, not be farmed/ attacked by any Commonwealth members, and will recieve advice/ guidance on how to develop effectively etc...

We are only looking for active members (no matter how big or small you are), who farm/ raid actively ingame, and who are prepared to where necessary follow instructions and advice, and work towards the greater good of the empire and yourselves. Applicants should also not expect to simply sit and stat build... since The Commonwealth will inevitably be getting into (proper) wars at some point!

Any questions feel free to hit me up on msn - ianjones1246@hotmail.co.uk. Long live the empire.
