ONI venti tells the man to take a seat because of the reason it being a "wild ride" that will take some time the man soon trailed off into history and a story of a great nation beaten and bruised over time that has come to its current state
((lore dump time!))
venti takes a deep breath in and starts to tell the story "well you see my friend, it all started when the British government collapsed in 2103 the two aviation companies of Supermarine and Avro banded together, and either for shits and giggles or the better of the British people they took over the isles and headed the call to the stars.
we fielded many, many rockets with supply for stations and warships alike it was around this time where we would make the Valhalla and the Tipperary they were both were large state-of-the-art trade and civilian stations. the Tipperary would later be stolen by pirates so, this led us to make the RMS Hood and many other warships of its size, and the Valhalla would be outfitted with 15 meter broadside guns on its perimeter. oh and I should add that when I say 15 meters or 12 meters I am referring to the size of the shells, not that of the guns now, these would quickly dispose of any enemy ships, and was for this reason that they were called "f*ck off guns" by the gunners and although they are now out of date, still using powder but they’re nothing to laugh at. the UN caught wind of us breaking several naval treaties regarding gun size and took London and the isles leaving us stranded in space so we took the moon from the UN as payback, well, we had underestimated their forces and their size. we had many men die that day, and it is for that reason we mustn’t forget June 6th, 2123. we took the moon but they took it back, it was at this time where we would lose several other planets and have our power weaken, and to put the final nail in the coffin the RCS, a close ally of ours would turn and assault us at Valhalla leaving a large debris field in the perimeter of the station. It was along this time that many pirates would try to take Valhalla but ultimately fail. Then the UN came once more to crush us under its thumb for the final time, and well they almost did except the man in their flagship had spared us, leaving before they had killed us all. the RMS hood would see heavy damage and every other ship that went out would sadly not be coming back. but we are arising from the ashes of the great fires of history that had forged us strong or so we had thought, we were through back into the fire pit after the war had been declared with you we had lost many men in the invasion of pluto, hell, not most of them, all of them, well everyone but the high guard, so we only have the high guard as our ground forces it was at this point that we would enter peace negotiations with you and this is also when our entire space fleet would be destroyed in combat by the crimson imperium. so we now have five full fighter wings the winged hussar and the RMS Hood to protect us and the RMS hood is under repairs from heavy, heavy damage and the winged hussar is of somewhere fighting pirates I believe. One could say we’re traveling upon the rocky road to Dublin.”
