In less than two centuries the species went from fighting with nothing but swords and axes to high-powered, computer-assisted rifles. Technologies were invented, adopted and then upgraded at a rate almost unparalleled in galactic history. A Hegemony was formed that spanned the entire planet, uniting the batarian people under a strong central government that controlled their lives.Īlmost immediately after the peace began, the newly-founded Hegemony entered a long period of industrialization. In it, the four powers would remain separate in name only, while the true power would be granted in Krudanz. When it became evident that Krudanz would win regardless of how long the three minor powers fought, they offered a solemn peace and agreed to the Treaty at Dizesh. In what would later become known as the War of Peace, the two sides fought to a bitter stalemate. The other two independent nations, Klema and Urzbat, rushed to the aid of their ally. This conquest laid the groundwork of what would eventually come to be the Batarian Hegemony.Ī century after the rise of Harz, the remaining four nations were drawn into a conflict when the military leader of Krudanz, Verush, attempted to invade Forkek, a large island nation that had remained independent during the Conquest of the Three Continents. These twelve became united in the largest nation the world had ever seen, known as Krudanz. During a twenty-year military campaign, the king took his coalition of four nations and crossed two seas, conquering twelve of the fifteen major nations of ancient Khar'Shan. In 664 BCE, the batarian hero Harz began his Conquest of the Three Continents.
