Qel'noran War Ends
Star Army News Distribution and Reporting Agency
Kyoto, Yamatai - One of Yamatai's wars has come to a close today as Her Imperial Majesty, Empress Himiko I of Yamatai, and the former Empress and commander of the Star Army of Yamatai, Taisho Ketsurui Yui, came together in Kyoto to issue a joint declaration of peace, officially ending the Yamatai Star Empire's war against the Qel'noran Empire, now that a decade has passed.
In YE 23, Yamatai encountered the Qel'noran Empire for the first time in the Ralfaris star system. This spacefaring empire, whose other worlds were Darso, Koenic, Mevar and Yicuqibu, was quickly absorbed into the Yamatai Star Empire and served as a productive part of the nation, creating extensive military technologies out of its powerful Qel'noran Industrial Sector. Qe'noran Shipyards produced the original Star Army Fourth Fleet almost entirely on its own, and the fleet was primarily staffed by Qel'noran personnel.
During the Second Draconian War in YE 24, Jaaq'tah forces invaded Yamatai Space and unleashed a large-scaled planetary bombardment on Ralfaris, which killed many Qel'noran and resulted in harsh conditions on the planet's surface. This led to instability and political unrest.
In YE 26, a Qel'noran named Sijik began a rebellion that attempted to secede from the Yamatai Star Empire. This rebellion was supported by the Star Army 4th Fleet. The Yamataian response was immediate and unrestrained, and the other three fleets attacked the 4th fleet and Qel'noran worlds, and Ralfaris was thought to have been destroyed but narrowly escaped destruction, as the remaining Qel'noran forces retreated to another universe, where Star Army forces continued to monitor them for a couple more years. No further major hostilities have occurred since then.
In light of the 10-year anniversary of the Qel'noran, and in the interest of peace, the declaration by the Empress and the military brings this chapter of history to a close and allows Qel'noran refugees to finally come out of the shadows and live among Yamataians.
"They fought us and paid the price already," Yui commented after the announcement. "The debts are settled and fighting is long over. There's no longer any need to continue a war against them. I would like to continue this shortening our list of enemies to zero."
