 recover lost food production and provide for as many citizens as possible through rationing and austerity
 measures. The Sovereignty still held a majority of Ak Ana's land and population, but it was a slim majority.
+Wealthy, powerful, and well-educated members of Ak Ana society began to flee offworld in a steady trickle,
+seeking employment and comfort in more stable neighboring civilizations. Sfaal ended up receiving some of
+these Ak Ana expatriates, and used this information in a plan to further the empire's reach.
+After a year of monitoring Ak Ana, Sfaal sent a diplomatic party (with military escort) to the capital city
+of the Sovereignty, offering it a place in the Sfaalic Imperial Cluster and the technological advancement
+and logistical support that accompanies it. Desperate to retain its dwindling power, the Sovereignty accepts,
+with the added condition that Sfaal help to reunify the many breakaway states on the planet's surface.
+These terms were agreed upon and Sfaal and the Sovereignty of Ak Ana set to work conquering the breakaway
+states, which had begun to form an alliance known as the Ingek Confederacy. Though the member states of the
+Ingek Confederacy had different philosophies and societal structures, they were unified in the preservation
+of Ak Ana, its culture, and its independence.
+Of course, Ak Ana was not the only world at the tips of Sfaal's fingers. The stars Kama Ti, Temez Ri, and a
+few others formed a band known as the Red Feather within the Great Swan Cluster that acted as a buffer zone
+between the Sfaalic Imperial Cluster and another major civilization, the Ornbar Stellar Union. The Ornbar
+Stellar Union had grown wary of Sfaal's expansionist tendencies, and took military action against Sfaalic
+Imperial integration of Red Feather systems.
+Sfaal effectively press-ganged its new constituents from the Red Feather systems into the war effort and
+backed their drafted soldiers with forces from within the empire, while Ornbar rallied anti-Sfaal sentiments
+and citizens on the surfaces of the contested worlds. While Ornbarite and Sfaalic navies clashed in the Red
+Feather systems, proxy wars between planet-bound governments took place on the surfaces of these worlds. The
+Sovereignty of Ak Ana faced off against the Ingek Confederacy in a bloody land war.
+In the present day, this conflict has come to be known as the Red Feather War or the Sfaal–Ornbar War.
+The war was, ultimately, rather short. After four years of push and pull across the Red Feather systems,
+Sfaal ousted the Ornbar Stellar Union and unified all the Red Feather civilizations under Sfaalic Imperial
+rule.
+==== Recent Events ====
+Ak Ana now firmly resides under Sfaalic Imperial rule, with the Sovereignty now acting chiefly as a political
+interface for Sfaal, and as a figurehead to the people of Ak Ana. The former Sovereignty colony of Alara was
+claimed by Sfaal as well. While Ak Ana has been saved from its collapse, its escape from disaster has left it
+quite a different civilization indeed.
