However, in the year 1900 KP2 time, the east found out about what the west had been up to. As a result of this, the first Fidelsian civil war started. The western portion of the country knew that the east possessed the military power and the army, so they decided to fight a guerilla campaign in the highlands and mountains while concentrating the population around the city of Llundain, on the western frontier of the country. The war went on for several years as the east pushed forward in its crusade making ground but suffering massive casualties.

The western portion of the nation was also the first to experiment with aircraft and rocketry, creating the first powered aircraft as well as launching the first rockets into suborbital trajectories. At this point, the theocracy in the east was becoming unstable as the leadership saw their grip on power slipping as the population became more educated and more inquisitive, starting to question the divine right of the “Faithful One”. As a result, the east began to crack down further on civil liberties and created kangaroo courts where any dissenters would be tried for treason and thrown in prison or executed. |

| − | The government kept cracking down until the 2060s when the west of the nation had enough once and for all. At this point, the east had amassed a large army and the west was once again outnumbered. The west of the country had prepared for this moment. Throughout the past 80 years, dozens of launch sites, launch vehicles and more were being made under the guise of infrastructure projects. The east launched a full invasion of the west no matter the losses. The army, completely brainwashed by the leadership and 100% blindly loyal. The west knew that they could not win this war and that they could not survive. International intervention was non-existent due to the larger ongoing issues during the period such as the collapse of the Arcadian union starting the Aesarian civil war, the collapse of Sanctum, and the beginning of the Delras civil war. Fidelis had always been rather isolationist and far from any strategic geographic locations so it was not deemed worthy to intervene. |

While the Orion soldiers were able to use resources far more efficiently and had better performing weapons, the Fidelsians had superior battle tactics and were far more experienced in combat. The Orion forces were pushed back to Flint where final preparations were being made all over Orion for the escape. The current king of Orion, Augustus gave an address to everyone who followed him. “My friends, today we stand prepared to start a new life for ourselves. We have stood in austerity and under the thumb of Fidelis for far too long. However, we will not be able to beat them. I don’t doubt all of your abilities to fight and die for this cause and this country, but then there will be nothing left for the future generations, only to be either left for slaughter or enslavement from the tyrannical Fidelsians. We knew this was a strong possibility since the beginning, especially with Fidelsian spies finding out our technology and ways to counter it. Instead, I have made the executive decision to attempt to escape. All over your cities, you will see rockets prepared for liftoff that will take us to Minmus, impossible to reach for Fidelis. This is our only shot, only chance at survival. I, along with other brave Orion soldiers and pilots will be holding the line against the Fidelsian army in order to allow all of you a chance at a better life. Godspeed to you all, it has been an honour to serve you.”. |

Civilians were able to board in about a day as the Orion military gave everything left to holding back the Fidelis army and air force. Takeoffs began during the night and went on through the day. Over 1 million were able to migrate to Minmus in time. The conflict came to an end in the year 2062. When the survivors got to Minmus to set up their new home, the first act was raising the Orion flag, and christening themselves as the OSF |

The Orion Empire, commonly referred to as Orion, is a vast imperial nation encompassing the continents of Veiid, Doren, Kafrica, and Caledon. It stands as one of the three constituent nations within the Imperial Union, serving as the seat of its capital. Despite its relatively recent emergence on the world stage, the empire has established itself as a prosperous and influential power, boasting access to all major oceans on the planet Kerbin. Additionally, the Orion Empire extends its influence beyond the confines of its terrestrial borders, maintaining control over several space colonies. Notably, the empire exercises dominion over celestial bodies such as Minmus, Duna, and Ike, further solidifying its presence and reach in outer space.

In order to effectively govern the vast expanse of territories within the Empire, a classification system has been established, dividing the Orion territories into two categories: dominions and colonies.
Dominions are allocated representation in the Imperial parliament in proportion to their respective populations. They enjoy a greater degree of autonomy and possess their own regional parliament, enabling them to make decisions independently. Additionally, Orion Dominions maintain dedicated regional defense forces to ensure their security.
Conversely, colonies are governed directly from Primus Orania without representation in the parliamentary body. These territories are administered by governors appointed by the emperor, who oversee local affairs. The defense of colonial territories is entrusted to the primary Orion/Imperial military.
This classification system aims to facilitate efficient governance and tailored administration throughout the Orion territories, ensuring the overall well-being and security of the Empire as a whole.

Soltem, commonly referred to as the capital of the Empire, is situated on the eponymous island. The city represents the primary urban center within the Empire, boasting the largest population and serving as a hub for various activities. Due to its geographical location and specific characteristics, Soltem heavily relies on imports to meet its needs.
