History of Space Travel in Andorith

From Andorith

Andorith's appearance in the Voidsea is relatively recent. Andorith has a longer history of planar travel, and a bustling sea port. The space port was only established after King Al abdicated the throne.

Timeline

Stars Are Places

During this time Andorithians realized that stars are places it was possible to go to, and that they very much wanted to go to them. This period is marked by early attempts at spaceflight. These attempts were costly, deadly, and generally poorly thought of in the modern day. The most notable attempt from this time was Jotenheim's Catapault, a magic powered launcher that sent the first Andorithian, a ghoul named Haketh, into space.

First Contacts

During this period Andorith took to space and encountered new sentient beings, ideas, and physics concepts. Andorithians generally look back fondly on this period of time despite the hardships, including both Alien Flu, and the controversial destruction of a ship that seemed bound to break quarantine. Despite these troubles, Andorith approached and made contact with the Blissovians and Thampur within a year of each other, and during this period also met with the Guri and Anterik.

Golden Age of (Space) Piracy

Generally considered a dark period in Andorith's history in Space, warring factions gave money and guns to privateers to fight proxy battles on their behalf. The conflict sprawled out into a multipolar war called The Scattershot War.
