The Ancient Radnian Empire

Radnian Archeology



   The Radnian homeworld, Amsaria (Mivdia-4)was a temperate world around the Class M Star Mivdia. The Radnians developed hyperjump technology in 4726 RC (Radnian Calendar), grew over the course of centuries into the massive Radnian Empire, stretching across the Five Galaxies in which millions of cultures merged into a single, human-dominated civilization.

   Attel, which is considered the cradle of Radnian civilization has three archaeological sites that are candidates for Mivdia, the Radnian home starsystem. Two of the starsystems, Retevina, and Lekata, are situated in northern Attel. The third is Minidia in west central Attel. Many amateur and professional historians favor Minidia because its name is similar to the name of the Roman home starsystem. Others, professional historians, and treasure hunters prefer Lekata as the Radnian home system for its massive temples. Retevina was the choice of many for its capitol mound. Archaeological expeditions in the starsystems of Attel have revealed the presence of Radnian Empire garrisons and city worlds dating back some 40,000 years. 

   Radnian history has profoundly influenced the Estra's galactic civilizations, shaping most of the modern local galactic cluster. It was the Radnians who first coined the phrase "The Five Galaxies" which denoted the five galaxies in the local cluster that were interconnected via Radnian foldgates. Foldgate technology was the driving force behind Radnian military, commercial and political expansion. Radnian imperial policy was to "Make the Universe Radnia." 


   Between the 111th and the 170th centuries RC, Proto-Ffawe Naplians established contacts with Attel and in the 188th and 189th centuries RC Proto-Naplian colonies were built in the inner star clusters of Lower Attel. A prolonged decline began in the 183rd century RC when the Estra portion of the Empire split in two in 195th century RC. The Rimward Empire, under the pressure of the Anakazi a pre-Borthan empire, eventually dissolved in 203rd century RC, when its last emperor was overthrown. The Leeward half of the Empire survived for another 200 centuries.
