History[edit | edit source]

Early History[edit | edit source]

The true origins of the Vechtramil are shrouded in mystery due to their secretive and discrete nature. It is known, however, the Vechtramil Crime families emerged in ancient Vechtramil societies and slowly accumulated enough power to influence politics and government, before officially coming into political power just prior to the space age. Fights and rivalries in illegal operations between families were common, and trust was hard to come by. While officially, the government did not endorse the criminal's operations, everyone knew they were in the pocket of the highest bidder.

As interstellar prospects arose, the Vechtramil Crime Families met together for the first time, and declared a formal truce between the families for a time, while they ventured into the unknown. The most powerful family at the time, The Mufiansos, declared Thermot Mufianso, their Rialto, which loosely translates to "Boss of the Bosses". Building on their skills in espionage, the Vechtramil consolidated the families into an intelligence gathering movement, forming one of the largest espionage, racketeering and theft rings to date. It is well known that during this time the Vechtramil encountered the Rach Syndicate frequently, predominantly their Thief Cartels. The similarities between the two nations made it inevitable that they would become problems for each other. While officially both empires have not had conflict nor worked together, there have been instances "Off the Books" where they The Vechtramil have worked with and against the Rach Thief Cartels. Before their stagnation, their intelligence network encompassed several sectors.

Stagnation and Isolation[edit | edit source]

After establishing its Intelligence network, the Vechtramil Empire became the Vechtramil Directorate. They became known for their expertise in espionage, thievery, and stealth much like their Rach counterparts. It was often that other empires sought out the Directorate for information on another empire, or request a raid on a particular target. The Vechtramil served this purpose for several centuries, until the Rialto of the time declared that their borders and business were closed. The remaining families became content with this decision, and many of them became complacent, not seeking new business ventures or supporting the intelligence network. Most families were content with laying traps across Vechtramil borders to keep themselves protected and deter outsiders. As a result the infighting of ancient times became more common. Groups that opposed this decision were immediately wiped out without any regard. This decision caused both the empire and the intelligence network to shrink drastically, causing the once great Vechtramil Directorate to fade into relative obscurity.

Escalation and Resurgence[edit | edit source]

The outbreak of the Great War caused tensions among members of the Family Council, as the Rach Founded the Peacekeeper alliance to defend nations who could not protect themselves from others. While they had not conquered any empires in centuries, the Rialto and Family Council decided they needed act, and rally their once mighty empire to fight the likes the Peacekeepers. Basic Intelligence suggested that a nearby empire, The Dragoneteran Monarchy, had pledged alliance and economic support to the peacekeepers, while a newer interstellar empire, The Bulorian Empire, was nearby. Eager to reengage, a subterfuge team was dispatched to disrupt the Bulorian government and force a surrender. Without much defensive measures in place, the Bulorians were easy prey.

Using a well placed trap, the Vechtramil baited a Dragoneteran captain into lading on the Bulorian settlement. While capturing the captain to learn more of the Monarchy was the plan, Captain Dralan was able to evade detection before being evacuated from the location. Expecting a retaliation, the Vechtramil established a perimeter around Buloris, the Bulorian capital. The Directorate misjudged how much the Monarchy had militarily, and were severely outgunned. The Directorate retreated and wrote the battle off as a loss.

Defeat at Aserai[edit | edit source]

Angered by their defeat at the hands of the Monarchy, the Vechtramil began plotting how to get back at them. Each member of the Family Council, including the current Rialto, had their own ideas to take down the Monarchy, After several days of deliberation, the family council could not come to a concrete decision on thier counterattack. However, intelligence reported that the Dragoneteran Monarch has suddenly passed away, and the Monarchy government was in some form of chaos. Without much of a plan, all members of the Family Council, including the Rialto, mounted their fleets and set out for the Monarchy.

The Monarchy had done some espionage of their own, and accurately predicted the Directorate Fleets by withdrawing the bulk of its forces to thier homeworld Aserai, unlike they did when they faced the Zaretians previously. Unfazed by the outer colonies little resistance, the Directorate continued to push into the Monarchy's foothold. As they approached Aserai, The Family Council members were picked off one by one by the Monarchy's Navy. With little plans going into the battle, they were easy targets. The remaining naval vessels fought until they no longer could. Knowing the Family Council had been dismantled, the Monarchy reconsolidated its forces to rebuild and support the Peacekeepers once again, thinking the rest of the Directorate would crumble and fall into chaos.

Descent to Chaos and the New Order[edit | edit source]

For several months the Vechtramil Directorate was in complete chaos, intense fighting broke out between the families, no one knew who to trust or lead them. Veterans of the Directorate who had not perished at Aserai stepped forth not to lead, but to advise a new generation of the Family Council, now renamed to the Intelligence Directorate. With ambitions to refocus their empire, the committee gathered prospective new council members, and began to advise them on their current situations, primarily refocus most espionage into the the economy, returning to similar behavior they had once conducted with the Rach Thief Cartels. With now two enemies on the sides of the Peacekeepers, the Vechtramil planned to declare allegiance to the Warlord Pact, but needed to bide its time while it went through these changes.
