Solar Empire: Difference between revisions

200 years ago, when the [[Iron Legion]] loosed its reign of terror and conquest on the world, the Solar Empire was the last nation standing against [[Lord Ferrok|the Iron Lord]]'s onslaught.  In the final days of the [[Lightning Wars]], it was clear that there was no way to end the fighting by conventional means.  Instead, [[Empress Qa-Len]] had no choice but to resort to using the Solar "super-weapon".  A tiny Solar strike force made its way to the Iron Tower, Lord Ferrok's personal stronghold.  The Staff Bearer and the other foot soldiers scaled the tower, and activated the [[Staff of Qa-Len]].  This staff sent a signal to an orbiting Solar satellite, which expanded its solar panels, absorbed the sun's energy, and focused the massive beam directly down onto the Iron Tower.  The resulting shock wave completely disintegrated the Iron Lord's tower, digging out an enormous crater in the process.  Many Legion forces were obliterated, and those not destroyed were frozen in stone.  This crater would become known as the [[Crater of the Sun]], and would be the resting place of the Legion forces for the next two centuries.  [[Empress Qa-Len|Qa-Len]], not wanting the staff to fall into the wrong hands, traveled to a glacier in the North Tundra wastes, and disposed of it in a large fissure.
