Kirmiian

Kirmiian was a terrestrial world in the Ekoto System in the Sinntaral Sector. It was home to the Kirmiian Union, and is best known for instigating the Kirmiian War in CY 1888. In CY 1893 with the Treaty of Ekoto, Kirmiian was occupied by Valzovech, Ekoto, and Cortanzan forces. The Cortanzans left by CY 1897 and the Ekoto withdrew by CY 1900 with the exception of a garrison in the Ekoto Embassy in the capital city Vastapp.

Zaolian War
Kirmiian was invaded by the Zaolians in CY 1865. The rest of the planets in the Ekoto System were quickly invaded as well. Due to the planet's rugged terrain, the Zaolians found it difficult to march legions of Zaolska across the planet. As Kirmiian forces were pushed from the major cities, they fled to the mountains, canyons, and desolate taigas, which allowed them to fight a gurillea campaign agaisnt their occupiers. The Valzovech and Ekoto liberated the planet from, Zaolian forces in CY 1867, and the world was liberated in late CY 1868.

Kirmiian War
The Kirmiian War was a military conflict fought from CY 1888 to CY 1893 in which the Kirmiian Union lost to an alliance made up of the Ekoto Federation, the Voltov Union, the Valzovech, and Cortanza. This war was an odd instance of Valzovech Pact, Kiros Alliance, and neutral worlds fighting on the same side. The Kirmiian War begins when the Kirmiian Union attacked the Ekoto Federation, which had long standing alliances with both Valzovech and the Cortanzans, who were members of the Kiros Alliance. In CY 1889, Hisperia, Cordelia, and Ollerus publicly announce that they will not interfere in the conflict. An incident in CY 1890 occurred when Kirmiian forces attack the Valzovech Seventh Fleet using Hisperian Ivar-7A starfighters, destroying the Megalithic-Class BattleCruiser Toktav, dozens of starfighters, and thirteen medical and civilian transports. The Hisperians were met with condemnation from their Allies and praise from the Kirmiian. By CY 1891, the tide of the war had turned and Kirmiian was invaded by Valzovech, Cortanzan, and Ekoto forces. The invasion force quickly conquered several cities and military bases. In less than a year, fighting had largely ended as allied forces dug in around the heavily defended capital city of Vastaap and several other pockets of resistence. It was during the Siege of Vastapp that Girald Ontilés, father of Theodosia Ontilés, was killed.

In CY 1893, the Treaty of Ekoto was signed. Kirmiian was demilitarized and occupied by Valzovech, Ekoto, and Cotranza forces, and the Ekoto Federation becomes a member of the Kiros Alliance. The Cortanzans left by CY 1897 and the Ekoto withdrew by CY 1900 with the exception of a garrison in the Ekoto Embassy in the capital city Vastapp. The Valzovech stayed and consolidated control over the planet by creating what was essentially a client state to the Valzovech. In CY 1901, Kirmiian joined the Valzovech Pact.

Battle of Hisperia
In CY 1913, Kirmiian forces participated in the Battle of Hisperia as part of the Valzovech Ninth Fleet and sustained minimal losses.
