The Forman War is the main event in which DEAD AHEAD takes place. The Forman War is a global conflict fought by two competing alliances: the Dragon Compact and the Solstice. Total war engulfed Forma in 1948 after a surprise attack was launched by Antares to diminish Orion's fleet. Friction between Hydrus and Ursa would bring a new entree into the war, and soon the world would be polarized into two competing factions, fighting for hegemony. Following a series of provocations between Cetus and Corvus, Antares joins the conflict in the side of Corvus, kickstarting a series of wars collectively known as the Centauran War/Wars. Over the span of a few decades, Antares is able to consolidate control of Centaura, however with fierce disapproval of the hydran nations. Ursa revanchism reigns strong after the defeat of their forces in the Grease War, losing their colonial possessions of Canis, Hydrus and Hydra to Orion and the newly formed Commonwealth. Ursa would enter a cold war between the Commonwealth and Orion, with tensions high between both sides.

Thus, after the SIC (Second International Conference) incident, Antares reached out to Ursa, seeking a buffer zone between them and Orion before they waged war. As a result, the Solstice was created, a military alliance between Ursa and Antares together with their satellites.

SIC Incident With agreement from all forman nations, a second international meeting takes place in Libratum, October 1947. Continuing from the first conference, the Hydran continent condemns the actions of the Antareans. After an hour of quarreling between the two sides, a recess is announced. The meeting is to continue after 30 minutes, and the conference moderators request that each side proposes a fix to the current issue.

During the break, four Antarean representatives and one Orionite representative are found dead in a room. Upon investigation, the Orionite appears to have shot the victims, then shot himself. The fifth and last Antarean representative flees back to his country, and so do the Hydran continent representatives. The LIZ (Libran International Zone) Guardsmen are distressed, knowing a war will ensue because of the incident. Following the deaths of the Antares representatives during the SIC Incident, Antares would prepare for war with Orion as revenge. In 1948, they would go on the offensive and attack District Canis and District Circinia. With the aim of capturing Orion military infrastructure and terrorizing the local civilian population,

Dragon Compact Shortly after the Forman War broke out, the Hydrus Commonwealth reached out to the Orion Republic for military cooperation due to Ursan ships attacking Hydrus patrols. They decided to restore the Dragon Compact which was last active during the Grease Wars. A few months into the Forman War, Antares invaded through much of the Libran continent in a bloody and destructive campaign. Libra, breaking their policy of isolationism/neutralism, begrudgingly reached out to the Dragon Compact, despite their belief of Orion starting the war.

Maya’s Father lore: Aran Tau was born somewhere in 1885, being 8 years older than his sibling Andrew Tau.

In 1905, he would be paired with Anna Khorin, improving the relations between Corvus and Antares. In 1906, Aran and his consort, Anna Khorin gave birth to Maya tau and . Aran did not see much fighting in the Southern Corvus War which may have morphed his attitude during his rule.

Aran would become emperor after his father's passing at in 1927, at the age of 42, setting course through the Centauran Wars, in which Antares would emerge victorious at a frightful cost.

Aran was paranoid of influences from other nations, particularly the Orion Republic as well his own government. In an act that solidified a royal dictatorship, Aran would appoint his brother, Andrew as the head council of the parliament and his children into military ranks. Thus, giving Aran Tau nearly unlimited political power.

Note: Maya is Straight! Only likes Male!

Maya lore: Maya Tau is the oldest child of Aran Tau, born April 15, 1906. She took interest in the navy since childhood and enlisted in the Antares Armada in 1929, at the age of 23. Aran disliked the thought of his daughter going off into combat but took it as an opportunity to solidify the navy’s loyalty to him. As Maya rose up the ranks, she became more egotistical, believing that she was intellectually superior to the lower ranks, and even to soldiers of her own rank. Maya attained the rank of Kommander in 1936 after a great victory in the Annulus Sea. A few years after, she was promoted to Kaptain.

Maya’s mom Lore: Anna Tau, or under her maiden name, Anna Khorin was a corvun royalty of the ruling Khorin Dynasty. Not much was known about her but in a bid to establish alliances and assimilate Corvus, she was paired with the heir apparent of Antares, Aran Tau, in 1905. This strengthened relations between Antares and Corvus. This did eventually lead to the annexation of the latter in 1911. She shared the duties of the monarchy and was regarded as holding the same social status as Aran

Maya’s younger brother lore:

Kaden Tau was born in 1908, Unamused, Maya grew jealous and sought to change her father’s mind. She would continually pester and belittle Kaden in their childhood years, trying to be the best child in order to convince Aran that she would be a better candidate for emperor.

Note: Kaden is not Maya’s son Note: Kaden is not Maya’s son Note: Kaden is not Maya’s son Note:! KADEN IS NOT MAYA’S SON literally! RP.

Inanis Ocean length across: ~36,000 mi Libran Ocean length across: ~12,000 mi Median cross length of continent Centaura: ~4,500 mi Median cross length of continent Hydra: ~5,000 mi Planet circumference: ~57,500 mi Planet radius: ~9,100 mi

There are two main oceans on Forma – the Libran Ocean and the Inanis Ocean. The Libran Ocean is where almost all ships and watercraft travel. On the other side, the Inanis Ocean is completely void of any islands or stopping points, hence the name “Inanis,” which in Latin translates to “empty.” In this world’s timeline, no boat has ever crossed the Inanis Ocean to the other continent; it is thrice the size of the real-world Pacific Ocean. Seas and other smaller bodies of water exist with the oceans, but they are labeled with closer-scaled maps.

Forma is split into four continents, listed below with their respective countries:

CONTINENT HYDRA Orion Auriga Canis Hydrus Lepus Musca

CONTINENT URSA Ursa

CONTINENT LIBRA Libra

CONTINENT CENTAURA Riaa Tucana Centauri Columba Corvus Cetus Aquila Grusa Vega Antares Lacerta Vulpa

There are 2 major religions on Forma. Astranism (“astra”, latin for “stars”) is a religion based on the stars and constellations. In short, each constellation represented a god, and the people would serve the god corresponding to their nation. For example, Antares would serve the god of Scorpius, the parent constellation of the Antares star. This does also mean that each country is named after a god in Astranism, with the exception of Riaa.

Unism (“unus”, latin for “one”) is a monotheistic religion which believed that there was only one God who created the universe and all living creatures. This religion, however, is less prominent on Forma, though it has been spreading quickly on the Hydran continent.
