For Cetusssssss
About Cetus:
(Flag)
Cetus, officially the Empire of Cetus, is a playable nation in Centaura. It is bordered by Corvus to the west, Columba to the north, Aquila to the east and Antares to the south.
The Empire of Cetus was a developing country whose main goals were to explore the Inanis Ocean, but unfortunately to no avail. It consisted mostly of hilly grasslands and savannas which were used for farming and agricultural purposes. Being one of the larger remnants left on Centaura after the splintering of the ancient Libran Empire, the country of Cetus mainly existed as a neutral fishing nation for a large portion of its existence. Over a millennium later, in the age of conquest & imperialism, the Cetan Empire would ally with the newly formed Antarean Empire to expand eastwards, conquering and absorbing many smaller states. This eastern conquest would continue until Cetan forces met the mighty Kingdom of Aquila. After a minor clash, the two states signed the Persean Treaty, establishing a border line and friendly relations between the two nations that persisted up to the Centauran War. After a land purchase of some of Southern Cetus by the Antareans, these three borders remained relatively unchanged for the coming centuries.
Seeing a lack of threat from its neighbors, the Cetan government saw fit to largely cut down on army costs and instead focus on crafting a massive and formidable navy, one built to explore the Inanis (which was a major belief in Cetan Astranism, where salvation & the future of the nation was thought to lie in the ocean). For a period of centuries, Cetus would hone their shipbuilding expertise and voyage out into the Inanis, oblivious to their stagnating relationships with their neighbors as trade resources were being pulled back and put into their navy. Soon, they began running out of the resources they needed to mass produce more modern designs of warships,
Thus, in 1886, Cetus launched a surprise attack on Corvus, quickly overtaking the southern regions of the country. The annexation of Southern Corvus provided new mountainous lands where mining sites could be developed. The resulting production of gold and copper revitalized the Cetan economy and industry. However, tensions were high with the rump state of the North (now the Corvus Confederation), as the Corvuns accused Cetus of stealing their lands.
As Corvus invaded in 1908, Cetus found itself on the defensive due to the fact that its army was critically undermanned. It could not afford to attack offensively, but made up for it by successfully holding a defensive line, eventually devolving the war into trench warfare. As Cetus called more troops to the front, the South would be left almost completely undefended. This would be their fatal mistake, as Antares (an ally of Corvus) took the opportunity to invade from the South, completely overtaking the nation alongside Corvus by 1912. Antares would not stop here, instead invading Aquila in the same year - marking the beginning of the Centauran Wars.
About CIS Mira:
CIS Mira is a battleship of the Imperial Cetan Navy
In 1880, Cetus commissioned the first “steelpot” warship, CIS Diphda. Diphda was the first ship to feature guns in turrets along with steel-plated hull armor. The distinct cylindrical turret design earned it the nickname “steelpot”, with the protruding gun barrel resembling a pot handle. The design of Diphda changed how future warships were built by every nation. Combined with advances in steam engine technology, the steelpots became the most dangerous vessels on the ocean with their high speeds and heavy armament. Mira was constructed in a similar fashion as Diphda.
Mira was present for the Battle of Coastal Battery Q, providing fire support to Cetan forces moving along the coast. However, the crew had not been properly informed of the signaling plan. With the confusion of when to shoot, the sailors and officers onboard Mira decided to focus fire on wherever the ground fighting seemed most apparent. This resulted in many casualties on the Corvun side, but also on the Cetan side, as friendly soldiers were caught in the blasts. The Cetan Army would attempt to fire flares in desperation to stop the navy from bombarding their own men to no avail as Mira's crew did not know what the flares meant, so they stuck to their plan of bombarding wherever they saw the most gunfire, resulting in further friendly casualties.
