The colonisation of Lordania, Yuklid V, Tyannani, Nouveaulyon, and Cinu took place in the late 2100s. Within the first few years of settlement, the various planets had contacted each other, and began to form the greater Lordanian community.
The Lordanian Republic
From it's formation in the late 24th century, to it's dissolution in 2265, the First Lordanian Republic laid the seeds for all future events in the region.

Founding of the Nouveaulyon Dictature du Foule
FoundingNouveaulyon has found itself growing too fast. Its people demand a change from the overwhelmed centralised colonial government. The people demand change, and discover the state's military unable, or unwilling to respond. This begins a period of government known as the dictatorship of the mob, in which society was at the whim of various armed groups of civilians who could make demands of the system. Nearly every month, the seat of government was seized by one, or more of these groups, who placed their own leader in charge of the system, only to be overthrown a few weeks later by another group. While this made the administration of a large society completely impossible, this did little to slow Nouveaulyon's growth, which continued to expand and become self-sufficient. This system was unstable, and mob rule finally ended in 2209 with the establishing of the first of the United Nouveaulyon Socialist Republics.

Lordanian Unitary Republic Founded
FoundingThe Colony of Lordania had reached a level of development that meant a provisional government was no longer enough to manage the expanding regions. Instead, those who had amassed the wealth and means to establish a government, did so together. In a way, creating an aristocratic republic, the Lordanian Unitary Republic, in which only the powerful could run for government.

United Nations of Cinu Founded
Political event"United, we shall strive to put to rest all inequalities, all injustices, and to make all equal before the law."
With the rise of numerous nation states across Cinu, the Cinuan Colonial Authority was proving incapable of claiming itself as the legitimate government of a united Cinu. Led by the efforts of former-President Rihan Sayed, the many states of Cinu convene to form the United Nations of Cinu, and sign a formal Charter. This was swiftly recognised by the First Lordanian Republic, and the two continued a warm trading partnership.

The Independence Riots
Civil actionWe shall not allow our voices to go unheard. If the Republic will not hear our words, then they shall see our actions.
Growing inequality in the Republic combined with unpopular foreign policy led to widespread rioting across the Cluster. While peaceful protest was allowed to take place, it seemed the Republic were not prepared to listen to any demands, which led to violent protests. Keen to suppress the movement, the Republic occupied the planet Tersten and established the Pinascimate Penal Authority.Additional timelines

Pinascimate Colonised
Founding"This world, Pinascimate, is the future of rehabilitation. No longer do we have to concern ourselves with the punishment and reeducation of prisoners, for it can be handled by the prisoners, and for the prisoners. They will be their own problem and solution."
By 2235, many prisons across interplanetary space were facing overcrowding, and rather than face the potential bill of constructing more prisons, the First Lordanian Republic established the Pinascimate Penal Authority on Tersten. -

Abolishment of the Penal System on Pinascimate
Political eventWe owe our Lordanian brethren for the birth of our people. But this was not a choice, this was forced upon us all. The people of Pinascimate have paid their dues, and earned the rights to their freedom.
As the Lordanian Economy began to collapse in the 2250s, more and more prisoners earned their freedom, or escaped into the uncharted regions of the planet. A prominent convict-politician, Jonathan Tersten, leads intense negotiations with the Lordanian Government that culminates in the abolishment of the penal system on the planet.Location

Cinu Unification War
Revolution"We can no longer afford to live. I ask you, was this war not expected? That we would refuse to allow our extinction?"
Faced with a tanking economy, rising unrest and inequality, and with extremist factions on the rise locally and globally, the planet Cinu descends into chaos, with numerous nations and factions rising up to take control of the planet in a brutal civil war. The war was only ended by the formation of the People's Republic of Lordania and the subsequent occupation and dismantling of political parties on the planet.Location

Founding of Tersten
FoundingNever again shall brother and sister be separated by an arbitrary line in the sand.
What should have been a tremendous occasion for the Tersten people, was in fact a show of power by the People's Republic of Lordania. The creation of the Tersten State only served to legitimise the People's Republic in the eyes of the populace, who had refused to abide by the Nevada/Tersten line.Location
