The Holy Order of Andarios!

Andarios: Although this name corresponds to the name of the home world of all andarians, it is also part of the official name of the Meriotic Empire of Angelos.

History

The colonization of Angelos, like the other continents, began at the beginning of the XXX century by Asian, African, Arab, Russian, and Eastern European families. By the middle of this century various states had emerged, such as the Tian Empire, the Kingdom of Haxum, the Republic of Uan, the Republic of Lyra, the Russ Federation, the Ashanti Kingdom, and the Fon Kingdom. These initial states were designated by the heptarchy of Angelos. In the last years of the XXX century, the Tian began a campaign to unify the whole continent. By 3130 the kingdoms of Ashanti and Fon had been annexed by Tian. In parallel, the Russ had unleashed their expansion and by 3140, the Republic of Lyra and the Republic of Uan, had disappeared. In 3160 a joint attack of the Russ and the Tian ended the Kingdom of Haxum. In 3180 both Seomis and Simeonia attacked the Tian and the Russ. The two superstructures could not resist and in 3187 dissolved. Seomis took control of the eastern part while the western remained under control of Simeonia. In 3190 both Seomis and Simeonia entered into military conflict to determine who would control Angelos. During 10 years of ceaseless war on Angelos emerged a leader among the locals called Pervaz Safavid. He declared the establishment of the Meriotic Empire and declared total war against Seomis and Simeonia. By 3210 Pervaz had defeated the invaders and had become the sole ruler of Angelos. The conflict continued between the three powers until 3235 when it was signed the great peace treaty that will culminate in the foundation of the Imperial Galactic Republic of Andarios. In this new planetary federation the supreme power was divided collegially among the leaders of the three states that become known as Triumviri.
