Nybian Pharaohnate Timeline

2508: Lazula system colonized by refugees from the Age of War.
2600: Geb, Hazlar's Star, Bane, Euphratis, and Maya are colonized by this point at various years and to different levels.
2766: Nyb is discovered by the SLDF; SLS *Qin Shi Huang* scuttled with most electronics salvaged, most heavy machinery surviving and being left to rot.
2820: Jacobsen Voss-Steiner arrives on Nyb to find the lost YardShip with a mixed regiment of mechs and armor as well as several hundred engineers borrowed from Defiance Industries.
2835: *Qin Shi Huang* rediscovered, efforts begin to repair it.
2843: *Qin Shi Huang* re-dubbed "City of Star Rest", *Starest*founded with the YardShip converted into a factory.
2846: First IndustrialMechs and Hovertanks built; plans for the *Flea*, *Firebee*, *Cicada*, *Clint* and *Gladiator* BattleMechs found in a surviving Memory Core. *Firebee WI-WAM* design foundational in early Pharaohnate success.
2867: Jacobsen dies through choking in his vomit; succeeded by Jorgen Voss
2878: Jorgen allies with and unites with several city-states, officially forming the Nybian Pharaohnate.
2879: Seshmetka born to Jorgen and Nenkema.
2881: News of the so-called Nybian Pharaohnate reaches the remaining city-states, which forces some to band together to present a united front, forming the Free City Alliance. This loose coalition pools funding and focus to counter the Pharaohnate for the next 40+ years.
2884: Battle for the Orange Sea begins; this conflict will escalate and de-escalate several times before concluding.
2887: *Grand Camel* designed. Over one year, becomes an instant popular  choice, and increases merchant efficiency by 8 fold.
2890: First MagCarrier loss recorded. Kill attributed to the FCA, though it is more appropriate to attribute it to better-supplied Shusa tribal conflicts.
2896: Pharaohnate lose the Battle of the Orange Sea decisively. The Orange Sea will remain under FCA control until the end of the unification war.
2899: *War Camel* designed to protect Pharaohnate caravans; though successful, it is built off the slow and burdensome *Grand Camel* design, and only sees deployment as a support, logistic escort, and installation defence machine.
2902: Seshmetka Voss-Sassi becomes Pharaoh.
2909: "Light Crafter's License" imposed; industry becomes heavily regulated, with "creation of light" given tax-free status. Shift towards Kemetic religion begins.
2914: Jorgen dies peacefully in Starest, choosing a painless poisoning over death by terminal cancer.
2919: First Light engine developed to conserve materials and utilize the abundant ferrous material on the planet. Engine rating of 255 or higher impossible.
2921: Increased output and development of gauss field-guns leads to a string of successes for the Pharaohnate.
2925: Low-Friction Motor developed, allowing for more effective Hovercraft; Pharaohnate suffers first major setback in the siege of Umakka; aggressive attacks along the Azure Dune turn the war back into a stalemate.
2927: Menhkare El Houd of the Free City Alliance proposes a unifing treaty to end the war.
2928: Seshmetka Code ratified by all parties; Nybian Pharaohnate declared sole authority of Nyb.
2929: Pharaoh Fahraad Ibn Harus succeeds Seshmetka after a peaceful reign, memorializes her as the great unifier; orders for additional monuments to the Gods be erected. Nyb begins an artistic revolution, fusing ancient and modern art in a style called "Nova Classic", and resulting in facades to all official buildings resembling ancient architecture.
2944: Pharaoh Harushotep takes the throne at 17 years due to his father's violent death at the hands of a pirate; Harushotep impliments an immediate ban on all trade with foreigners.
2949: Pharaoh Harushotep declares the Grand Obfuscation, wherein the Nybian cities that can be hidden, are. Most canyon cities are covered and disguised, the project taking 20 years.
2956: Starest is hidden; trade is once more permitted with outsiders.
2969: The last Maryt city is conceiled. Efforts are made and honor-vows sworn to keep the industrial heart of the Pharaohnate hidden from outsiders. Medjay profits from trade skyrocket, securing their silence on the matter.
2972: Asaad takes his father's place as Pharaoh. Conquest of the Six Stars begins, with the Pharaohnate negotiating or conquering its surrounding nearest habitable systems. Conflicts on Ifriit, Thugrim, and Xbalanque require focused efforts to subdue the natives. Peace is slow to develop on these planets.
2977: Ifriit hires the Martyr's Ghosts mercenary company to resist the Nybian occupation. The resulting battles yield no victory for either side for many years. Thugrim resistance soon fades with implementation of public works and education.
2981: Xbalanque ceases all major protests with implementation of cultural acceptance movements; art and literature from Xbalanque are highly praised on Nyb, leading to tourism and prosperity. The economic incentives finally quiet all rebellion.
2988:Last major riot occurs on Ifriit; Conquest of the Six Stars is officially completed.
2991: NeferKheprTa assumed Pharaoh after stroke from her father Asaad. Continues expansion and scientific development, and initiates the Banner Loan system, where-in Nybian Banners will provide mercenary services abroad for technological and economical advantage instead of monetary.
2996: Scientific breakthroughs regarding magnetic stability allow the creation of Light engines up to 400, though 360 is the highest rated manufactured.

3019: Nybian mercenary 'regiments' enter service with the Lyran Commonwealth and Free World's League for unique costs; BattleMech, IndustrialMech, DropShip, and SmallCraft designs and blueprints. Neither Great House is willing to offer anything modern to the mercenaries, though do pay in a select few patterns deemed "Dated" and not patent-controlled. *Ymir* and *Archer* designs return to Nyb and are swiftly put into production.
3022: FWL offers more modern design in exchange for continued service in the ongoing civil wars; *Goliath*, *Quickdraw*, and *Stinger* of Marik make are provided, though no extant Mechs are gifted.
3023: Brief work alongside the Capellan Confederation quickly sours; Nybian Banner steals some of the design documentation for the *Cataphract* and intact plans for the *Marauder MAD-3L* before fleeing into Federated Suns territory. The next three years are spent working for House Davion in exchange for logistic support and the plans for the *BattleAxe*.
3025: Xbalanque Banner signs on to fight for the Draconis Combine, ostensibly for the plans to the *Lords Light* PPC, ultimately the contract founders and fails.
3026: Nybian Banner, while returning home, offers to return in 3027 for a five year contract. House Davion offers the ubiquitous *Dervish* design blueprints in return for their assistance. *Valkyrie* combat data is quietly provided, being the basis for a redesign of the Firebee already in production.
3027: First prototype of the GN0-0A begins shakedown tests. A suite of issues are discovered and the documents stolen from the Capellan Confederation regarding the Cataphract are consulted, leading to further refining and some retooling of other Mechs to better answer logistics needs. Nybian Medjay dispatch several banners to work for the Federated Suns.
3028: Battle of Misery. Xbalanque banner arrested, some breaking free and going to ground. A single arrow makes it to Nyb to report the treachery; Nybian forces begin to explicitly take contracts to combat the Combine if possible.
3031: Pharaohnate state mercenaries leave the service of the Federated Suns on good terms, passing through Terra as they return home. ComStar aware of the Pharaohnate by now; keeps it off official star charts for potential exploitation in the future.
3033: House Steiner actuary makes critical mistake; instead of giving the Nybian Mercenaries a lance of *Hatchetmen* as payment, they are instead sent the designs for these Mechs. Confused at having four copies of the same file, Pharaohnate commander asks Defiance official for the "other three correct designs". Confused official quickly sends *Scorpion*, *Banshee 3E, and 3S* blueprints based on earlier negotiations before the entire mess could be ironed out.
3036: Final *Gnoll* BattleMech designed. First production is a success, and sees immediate escalating of production.
3038: Nybian presence in the War of 3038 is insufficient to keep the war from swaying against the FedCom. Upset over lack of potential salvage or pillage leads to a severe loss of morale, with most independent Banners withdrawn and leaving the Nybian Medjay sole legion on deploy. Nascent Ifriiti Janissaries suffer a loss in the FWL at the hands of pirates, galvanizing them into their more feared form present today.
3040: First ROM agent is able to infiltrate the Pharaohnate. ComStar's picture of the periphery state is incomplete, but substantial. Suggestions are made at lower levels to further infiltrate and subvert, but these ultimately are discarded due to lack of desire to expand HPG network.
3043: All new plans, as relevant to the needs of the Pharaohnate, have been incorporated or translated to Nybian industry. The Pharaohnate's armies begin to enter the modern era.
3048: Nybian Medjay make first contact after FedCom forces with the Clans; quickly come to despise the over-pretty formal war touted as superior. Nybian response is typical; missiles, melee, and mean words.
3050: Nybian Medjay destroyed to a Mech by Clan Jade Falcon. Allied forces able to withdraw due to sacrifice. Last force out uses the opportunity to provide as much cover as they can before leaving. Pharaohnate formally opens its doors to all Mercenaries aware of it as a fair seller of arms and material in recognition of this act.
3058: Nybian Royal Legion founded; all member Nomes of the Pharaohnate now support individual Legions. Nybian industry begins to produce DropShips.
3060: ComStar ROM agents report sudden build-up of DropShips in Nybs orbit. Sudden industrial surge unprecedented and requires investigation.
3063: Pharaohnate refuses to support a side during the FedCom civil war. As such, the Lyran Alliance invades. Brutal guerilla warfare saps Alliance morale and material, inadvertently aiding Pro-Victor forces elsewhere. No recognition is looked to nor received for this. House Voss officially severs ties to the Pharaohnate.
3065: AkenNyb takes control of the Pharaohnate by support of the court to replace his aging mother. "Paranoia" is cited as the reason for her over-development of war materiel, and a focus on cultural and archetectural enrichment begins despite the ongoing occupation and war.
3067: Exhausted and demoralized Lyran forces withdrawal from all Pharaohnate holdings. Most civic centers suffered minor damage thanks to being hidden. Blakist ComStar offers to assist in rebuilding go officially ignored. Several Nomarchs privately accept once AkenNyb shows no signs of focus on rebuilding.
3069: Word of the "Jihad" reaches the Pharaohnate, who declare neutrality and withdraw from the conflict entirely. Conflicts with the Circinus Federation intensify, preventing isolationist focus. However, the arrival of the Hegemony Memory Core quickly consumes Nybian interests, and it is combed over, bringing the Nybians frighteningly close to parity with the other, older, periphery powers.
3070: To fund his works while ignoring the threats, AkenNyb begins to sell off "excess" Mechs and weapons. This leads to a surge in Nybian piracy and freelance mercenaries. Some even begin working with the Combine once again.
3073: General Narmer usurps the throne, marrying AkenNyb's sister. AkenNyb is not seen alive again. Narmer imposes a process of public beautification to build civil pride and to help allow for rearming quietly.
3074: Six of the Nine Nomarch of the Pharaohnate begin to entertain Blakist overtures of reconstruction aid quietly.
3077: Circinus Federation begins to collapse, with Pharaohnate forces swooping in to collect what loot they can when occupation is untennable. Only the systems X1189 and Lonely Isle are claimed due to Pharaohnate lack of strength.
3079: Blakist refugees ask to join the Pharaohnate; they are given provisional protection. Nomarchs sympathetic to the cause are largely to thank, as they subsequently begin efforts to usurp Pharaoh Narmer.
3080: Offers to instruct and coordinate an HPG at Starest is immediately rebuked without being brought to the Pharaoh. Back and forth offers and debates continue for most of the year, with the final agreement that a small HPG may be built in the trade capital of White River Mountain.
3085: Blakist agents attempt to infiltrate Medjay clan overseeing White River, however, several ROM agents are captured and quietly executed.
3086: Blakist interests in aligning themselves with and using the desert Shusa against the Pharaohnate flouder after several subtle attempts are met with failure.
3087: Precentor Hamilcar is confronted by Narmer, who instructs him in the situation. Blakist forces, frustrated at each turn to supplant Nybian politics for their own ends, are the heads of the six allied Nomarchs whose attempted coup was foiled narrowly. An uneasy truce settles over the two factions.
3086: Ramses is born.
3089: Open conflict between Scorpion Empire and Marian Hegemony bring both Clan Sea Fox and the Magistracy of Canopus into alignment with the Pharaohnate. Trade deals are brokered and alliances forged.
3094: Ifriiti emigrants to neighboring moon of Marid cause the smaller colony to become self-sufficient. An interim Nomarch is elected by the Nome until one can be selected by the Pharaoh.
3099: Nybian Blakists adopt a new form of Blakist thought; heavily modified bodies permit them to thrive in sections of desert that are impossible to survive, leading to reclusive monks recording and reflecting on the holy mission. Rare contact with the Pharaohnate gives them their only means off-planet, and usually with stipulations or an objective.
3101: Nybian Pharaohnate and League of Thrymm unify into the Rift Pharaohnate. Narmer attempts to place Nomarchs in charge of the various worlds, receiving pushback and unrest, before naming the Ting Nomarchs of their respective planets.
3111: Ramses takes the throne, becoming Pharaoh when his father disappears on campaign. Immediately selects a Nomarch for Marid and instructs them to raise a legion for self-defense.
3118: First battle for Balthazar III occurs. Pharaohnate control is established.
3119: Marid Legion receives its first direction, dispatched to the system of Midway to watch for and intercept Scorpion Empire raids.
3122: Marian counter-attack drives the Pharaohnate from Balthazar III; Midway site of several skirmishes, with the Marid Irregulars Legion taking heavy losses. Ifriiti Janissaries dispatched to relieve them.
3123: Xbalanque Black Jaguar Legion attacks Marian worlds in a number of raids while the Hunahpu Sharptooth Legion attacks and captures Balthazar III in the third battle for Balthazar.
3129: Nybian Royal Legion engages Legio VI around Maximillian. Brutal fighting ultimately results in blunting Marian actions for the time being, but the Royal Legion is too exhausted to push the advantage.
3132: Blackout occurs. Ramses returns home with his Legion to organize the response.
3134: Senusret is born.
3139: Ifriiti Janissaries repulsed from Midway by Scorpion Trinary; Janissary losses are minimal.
3145: Ramses resumes the offensive against the Marians, bringing his son with him to teach him warfare.
3149: Ramses dies during a raid by Jade Falcon. Alyiah bint Hassaad saved Senusret's life, earning her Pharaoh's Champion and the position of Nomarch of Saraka. Ramses wife Ahmenati becomes regent.
3151:Senusret returns to Nyb with Alyiah at the head of a victorious Legion; Ahmenati does not relinquish the throne, instead directing her son to find a wife first. Refugees from the Republic of the Sphere arrive, asking for asylum. They are given it by Senusret, on the condition their DropShips, BattleMechs, and MechWarriors all join as the Holy Knights of Khepri.
3152: Regent Ahmenati found dead from assassination. Senusret and Alyiah both persue the assassin, discovering the conspiracy by several Nomarchs to usurp the Pharaoh and implement a Democratic Republic. The Pharaohnate Civil War begins between the Federalists behind the assassination, the loyalists which refuse the change and demand a successor crowned, and the Harusites and the Surtrings which are both successionists.
3155: Civil War comes to a close; Senusret pardons the Blakists, but demands they must repay the blood debt for his mother's life. The Nomarchs are hence-forth given Judiciary and Military Defense obligations and the Ting are given greather authority and legislative supremacy, as well as the ability to confirm all Nomarchs. Holy Knights of Khepr repulse Scorpion Empire garrison on Midway, with the Ifriiti Janissaries and Babylonian Tar-Hide Legions reinforcing. Throne placed beside Senusret to symbolically sit the Ting at his side as an equal.
