+==== Annexation and the Red Feather War ====
 Thirteen years ago, the [[Sfaal| Sfaalic Imperial Cluster]] scouted Ak Ana and observed its strife quietly
 from high in orbit. Ak Ana's spaceport traffic had slowed considerably, so Sfaal's scouts had little trouble

+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.
