    The Kings of the Medial A Human Tribes Consolidate Power, Creating Voxelia
    Political event

    The leaders of the tribal bands of Medial A divvy up the land amongst themselves, push rival tribes into extinction or out of the cube, and elect the first Emperor of Voxelia. This marks the founding of Voxelia as an organized state while also creating the impetus for the first organized expeditionary missions to adjacent cubes.

    Colony Sites in Medial C are Reached, Voxelian Political Reach is Overextended
    Population Migration / Travel

    Voxelian colonies are established in Medial C, taking in the small groups of humans there who were outcast during the Emperor's consolidation of power. Voxelia becomes aware that these colonies have been founded successfully and continues to send tax collectors, but at this time, technology will not allow enough force projection to enforce these claims against the colonies if the issue is pressed. While the colonies remain loyal at this time, interbreeding with the tribes and extreme distance from the Voxelian cultural center sow the seeds of rebellion in these far-flung colonies.

    Siege of Tartagloam
    Military action

    The city of Tartagloam is besieged, and eventually destroyed, by Voxelian forces. Civil order breaks down and never fully returns. An industrial accident caused by airship bombardment leaves tens of thousands of nearby citizens polymerized by toxic chemical vapors, leading to Tartagloam's nickname as the 'City of Mannequins'.

    Second Treaty of Vivaldi Peak is Signed
    Diplomatic action

    The race riots in Craterhold required military intervention from the other members of the Coalition of Breakaway Colonies to resolve, as letting the city fall would have opened the 'rear' flank of the Coalition to Voxelian attack. For this reason, the Second Treaty of Vivaldi Peak codified how, and under what circumstances, member states are able to deploy resources to resolve intra-Coalition issues which affect the defense of the alliance as a whole.

    Pan-Coalition Extradition Treaty is Signed
    Diplomatic action

    In response to international outcry surrounding the Charred Chard Murders, the Coalition of Breakaway Colonies drafts the Pan-Coalition Extradition Treaty to improve intra-Coalition cooperation on criminal affairs. Despite the name, various neutral factions (including the Burning Hearts Social Club) also voluntarily agree to abide by its terms. As a side affect, the Treaty also establishes a legal framework for international bounty-hunting activities.
