{{Douglas T. Nimroy series}}
'''Douglas Thames Nimroy''' (February 2, 2426 - May 29, 2517), commonly referred to by simply his first name '''Douglas''', was a [[Ceironian-Kashin]] business magnate, politician, and [[super soldier]] who served as the 6th [[Senior Governor of Great Kashini|Senior Governor]] of [[Great Kashini]] from 2476 to 2486. A member of the [[Nimroy Family|Nimroy family]] and [[New Tarasovian Party|Tarasovians]], he previously served as the 3rd [[CEO of Nimroy Industries|Chief-Executive-Officer]] and 2nd President of [[Nimroy Industries]]. After the death of [[Markus A. Nimroy]], Nimroy would be the largest shareholder in the [[Nimroy Trust Group]], seconded only by [[Matthew Nimroy]]. Douglas Nimroy's code-name as a [[Special Paleokataric Analysis & Claimation Endeavour|SPACE]] operative went by the title of the [[Silver Star]].
Born into the distinguished Nimroy family, in [[Kihsan]], Great Kashini, he would graduate from [[Kihsan University]] in 2446 with a Bachelor of Arts. Subsequently, Nimroy would move onto acquiring an MBA at [[Kashini Business School]] advancing in 2447. He enlisted into the [[Ceironian Union Army]] and participated in numerous military operations in the [[First Heboi War]] from 2447 to 2449. Following serving within the [[C.U. Intervention Corps]], he would work as chief negotiator for Nimroy Industries in securing contracts with the [[Ceironian government]] from 2449 to 2453. This period is when the relationship between [[High Marshal of the Ceironian Union|High Marshal]] [[Georgiy Tarasov]], the Nimroy family, and the greater [[conglomerate-government relations]] began to flourish. During this period however, Nimroy would remain a Lieutenant Colonel in the CUIC's SPACE and partake in numerous military efforts throughout the latter stages of the Tarasovian regime. Nimroy was a major proponent for the monopolisation of the [[National Space Exploration Administration']]<nowiki/>s contracts by Nimroy Industries' [[Kashini Extraterrestrial Company]] (then the [[Kashini Rocketry Company]]) and is cited as the primary reason why Tarasov approved of the [[sole-contractorship in 2452]]. He was the first governor of Kashini elected following the reintroduction of a multiparty state in Ceironia, subsequent to the wilful resignation of Tarasov. Supported by his close relations with Tarasov, and exploitation of said relationship during his time as an operative of SPACE under the title of Silver Star. Along with his Executiveship of Nimroy Industries to the benefit of Kashini, citizens voted overwhelmingly for Nimroy in the [[2476 election season]].
Nimroy defeated [[Republican Party (Ceironian Union)|Republican]] [[Ayla Cherenkov]] in the 2476 election, although Cherenkov would eventually replace Nimroy as governor in the 2486 elections, by which point both joined the same party. Nirmroy's position as governor in his initial term was substantially involved in leading the pro-democracy faction during the disorderly period known as [[The Troubles]] shortly following Tarasov's resignation as High Marshal. Transition from the Tarasovite authority without due Constitutional amendments by Tarasov resulted in the apparent democratisation of the nation to be extremely open aired. Nimroy's personal relationship with Tarasov, his own principals, and general control over Great Kashini's politics and economy ensured that the region would have a guaranteed liberalisation. The [[Guarantee Act of 2477]], [[Kashinic Autonomy Act of 2479]], and the [[Liberty Proclamation]] were three key acts and executive orders that ensured Kashini could not have its own state laws be disregarded by an increasingly authoritarian and centralised government, if ever. Despite only being a member of the upper legislation, the [[House of Governors]], Nimroy played a fundamental part in promoting a swift insurance through constitutional amendments that the social, economic and political freedoms of all Ceironians be guaranteed. After success on the home front, Nimroy continued to exploit his relations and business relations, largely using Nimroy Trust Group's [[Kashini News Corporation]], a by 2480 well recognised and enormous news broadcasting corporation, to propagate [[Tarasovian democratic values]]. Upon winning [[re-election in 2481]] he would undergo a severe degree of federal media scrutiny at the behest of High Marshal [[Vishula Hantr]], who at the culmination of the Troubles was found to be a [[Cralasian replacement]]. Nimroy following the [[Deposal of Vishula Hantr]] focused on improving the [[Kashinic economy]], as both the economy and nation itself became far more open to the rest of the world, this presented new opportunities for Nimroy to utilise for the benefit of his constituents. The [[Immigration Act of 2480]], [[Zoning Reform Act]], and the [[Workplace & Consumer Ethics Act]], were three divisive but impactful legislations which defined the state for decades to come.
Nimroy inherited the role as CEO of Nimroy Industries after the retirement of his father, Markus Nimroy, and Matthew Nimroy's decision to not inherit the conglomerate, despite being first-in-line. Nimroy's position as chief negotiator proved extremely fruitful for the trust group and conglomerate, in-particular the sole-contractorship and the formation of the [[Ceironian National Industrial Conglomerate Agreement]], so he was decidedly the most appropriate fit. From 2454 to 2463, Nimroy accumulated enormous proportions of revenue for his family, largely from enveloping other companies in mergers or total buyouts. Most of all, subsidies from the Ceironian government ensured that the Trust Group's subsidiaries could fund significant research and development efforts. This came along with supporting colossal advertising campaigns, both to bolster the Nimroy and company image across Ceironia. Innovations such as economically viable coloured television, numerous vehicular novelties, high-speed rail initiatives and almost all space related inventions are a handful of discoveries formulated during the 2450s by Nimroy Industries. During this time period, immigration into Kashini and the suburban expansion of Kihsan and Kashini skyrocketed. The general economy of Ceironia and Kashini are viewed to be Ceironia's peak of economic growth, parallel by the 2520s after the [[15 Years Program]], a reconstruction and revitalisation effort by the Ceironian government following the [[Great Blizzard of 2507]].
== Early Life & Education (2426-2447) ==
Douglas Thames Nimroy was born on February 2, 2426, at [[Ibis Hospital]] in Kihsan, Great Kashini. He was the second child of Markus Arthur Nimroy (2387-2480) and [[Paula Churchill-Nimroy]] (2391-2459) and was raised in New Wynnoa alongside his sibling and brother, Matthew Nimroy (2421-2500). Nimroy's father was the second CEO of Nimroy Industries from 2441-2453, and most prominent owner of the Nimroy Trust Group until his retirement in 2453. His maternal grandfather, [[Anton Churchill]], served as Markus Nimroy's guardian, and was an Empheri immigrant. Nimroy's ancestry traces largely to [[Empheri]] with almost equal [[Kashinic]] influences, alongside Ceironian and lesser significant [[Ahitereiran]], [[Svantaran]], [[Eglyian]] and [[Koresan]] roots. His East Alaxian lineage originates from the first [[Empheri Diaspora]] into Kashini, during the 2320s, caused by an [[exodus of political rivals]] of [[Isaac Campbell]] after a series of repressive acts of parliament and violent clashes between the Nobility and Liberal militias across the country. The Nimroy family were originally referred to as the [[Ó'Nimoi]] and were a prominent [[Noble clan]] from the 18th century onwards till the 24th, when they were forcibly migrated to Kashini and reformed into a business-oriented family.
Following his birth by a couple weeks, in March 2426 the family would permanently move to their [[Lagoon Island Estate]], in the town of [[New Wynnoa]], located to the south of [[Kashini|Kashini City]]. Nimroy's father had completed his [[Master of Business Administration]] degree by May of 2426, after being groomed for the role of CEO as Anton Churchill's heir to [[Latango Naval Construction Inc.]] LNC Inc was the last remaining company under Nimroy ownership that did not become defunct following the [[Ammonia Island Massacre]] in 2395, which resulted in all close relatives to Markus Nimroy being assassinated at the hands of criminal elements within Kashini. Due to this, Churchill was given guardianship over Markus Nimroy due to the existing close relations between the Churchills and Nimroys, this included the ownership of LNC Inc, up until Markus Nimroy became of age or whenever he delayed it to, which was after acquiring an MBA. During an interview with [[Ginsukyo National Television]] news anchors during his Governorship in 2488, Nimroy recalled his early childhood in relation to his father and Anton Churchill, stating; "Churchill was a grandfather to me, and without a doubt my father felt similarly-if not through blood, then via the bond and love that was shown—for this I am grateful." In a biography of Douglas Nimroy by author and biographer [[Annetta I. Cameron]] and called [[The Gateway Land]]. A chapter dedicated to Nimroy's relations Georgiy Tarasov goes into detail on how much Tarasov impacted his early life and youth. Cameron, who collaborated with Nimroy to understand the relationship between the pair was lectured on the matter. This included Nimroy proclaiming that without Tarasov, he himself and Kashini would be widely different, and for the worse. He elaborates by explaining that during the [[Ceironian Civil War]] from 2433 to 2437, when Kashini experienced heavy fighting between the [[Nationalist Front]] and [[Socialist Rosarists]], that it was traumatic to him, as he was ten years old at the time. Tarasov was the most important influence in his childhood and life, Nimroy proclaimed that Tarasov was essentially a role model, particularly following the end of the Civil War, whilst becoming close friends during his latter youth until [[Tarasov's passing]] in 2485.
Within the period in-which fighting in Kashini took place, New Wynnoa was shelled by the factions of the civil war multiple times, with most of the Nimroy family, including Douglas, being evacuated from their estate. For five months, Nimroy lived on the [[CNV Venator,]] a Nationalist Front air-craft carrier built by the LNC, despite the war's hinderance to his childhood, Nimroys education as a student of [[Southside Integrated School]] continued in the form of an improvised education by onboard military academy training officers, up until the retaking of Kashini and New Wynnoa in the [[Battle of Aurora Bay]] in January of 2437,
=== Early & Latter Education===
Nimroy only attended a single schooling institution up until college, Southside Integrated School, a college-preparatory academy in New Wynnoa. The school taught first years onwards to twelfth up until [[Oliver's Education Act of 2489]]. Southside permitted the enrolment of all species, of which the school's population was predominantly made up of Humans, Nagani and immigrant [[Heboian]] [[Vahti]] (following the First Heboi War). Amongst the Human ethnicities, Kashinics were most common, followed by Empheri and Ceironian students.
Nimroy would be enrolled at Southside at age five, in 2431, up until he was eighteen in 2444. However, as like many other Ceironian youths during the 2430s, many had their education stunted from the effects of prolonged urban fighting in major cities during the Civil War period. Despite the majority of suburban and urban youth experiencing multiple years of halted education due to a plethora of war related issues, the New Wynnoa portion of the Inner Kashini region was largely unimpacted in the war barring the latter stages. Throughout the conflict which, New Wynnoa only remained under shell fire and occupation by Rosarists for a period of five months, Nimroy would be displaced onboard the CNV Venator for the remainder of the war. Despite the displacement, Nimroy would continue his education on the vessel, whilst also being exposed to the potential of joining a junior military academy once he came of age. Nimroy stated that the primary causes for his volunteering to enlist during the First Heboi War was due to the period on the CNV Venator, alongside his growing relationship with Tarasov.
Following the end of the Civil War, and victory of the Nationalist Front and establishment of the Tarasovian regime, Nimroy would reattend Southside. Shortly afterwards he joined his local Junior League [[Hopallo]] club, [[Wynnoa Colonisers Intermediate]], the 11-13 years subsidiary to the [[Wynnoa Colonisers]]. Nimroy would go on to graduate from Southside Integrated School as an upper band student, achieving the requirements to apply for a three year course in economics at Kihsan University. In 2446, he completed his thesis on the impacts of Rosarism on [[equatorial developing economies]], titled "The Equatorial Communists". He subsequently graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics having attended from 2444 to 2446. Of his years in Kihsan, Nimroy himself described it as a delightful experience, "regardless of the security that of a job in in carpentry, or plumbing, or any other tradie course you can find—by far the greatest opportunity is found in upper education—not just that, but freedom as a whole. With that piece of paper, you can get any professional you want. Toppled with that, Kihsan offered an experience you couldn't finder any better elsewhere. The environment of the institution was extremely vibrant plane with a large array of peoples from all across Ceironia and Alaxia. Mutual respect and understanding for one-another was the key cultural aspect of Kihsan, if there was someone you did not appeal to, chances are relations would be mended overtime." An extract from an interview between Nimroy and the [[Kashini News Corporation]]'s [[Sunday Eterna]] host [[Rupert Malcolm]]. Within the same interview, Nimroy went on to state; "in stark contrast to the Civil War, Kihsan was a place where the sum of our parts was wholly undivided." As a senior by this point, Nimroy joined the [[Panacoraxians]], one of the four most prominent secret societies within Kihsan University, predominantly made up of foreign-born students. In the wake of his graduation with a BA, Nimroy described himself as debatably above average student, acquiring a grade point average of 0.81. Immediately following the graduation, Nimroy entered Kashini Business School. He graduated in 2447 with a Master of Business Administration, one month after the beginning of the First Heboi War.
=== Early Political Involvement ===
In 2439, Nimroy would join the [[League of Tarasovian Youth]], encouragement from his father, along with being inducted into the League by Tarasov himself. Contrasting with other equivalent youth organisations in autocratic nations at the period, such as the Sutonese [[Zhangist Youth Union]], and Fazarian [[Imperial Youth Organisation]], the League was not a militaristic foundation. Despite still acting as a tool to indoctrinate Ceironian youth into supporting the policy and ideology of the Nationalist Front, there was little coercion or societal pressure to join the League and would simply be viewed as an extra-curricular activity. As one of multiple benefits that students who were members of the LTY, 2440 would be the first time Nimroy went abroad. He went on an excursion to Ginsukyo to study both the politics and history of the nation first-hand, which had just achieved total independence after an [[ousting of the pro-Fazarian government]] in December of 2439.
Nimroy described his political ideology at the time as; "nigh identical to all Tarasov had to say", as an avid reader [[Tarasovian Era literature]] in particular Tarasov's own works, such as [[Ceironian Exception]] and later on [[House of Rose]]. Despite believing the propaganda and teachings of Tarasovian ideals into his adulthood, following his tour in Heboi, he was largely disillusioned by its obsessiveness with exceptionalism. The [[forced augmentation]] played a large part in straining the relationship between Nimroy and Tarasov. Recounting in 2501 that; "if not for the war in Heboi, I likely would have gone through with what I had been groomed to do by my family and Tarasov himself. That is, becoming a career politician and the next High Marshal of Ceironia following Tarasov's resignation." Due to this, Nimroy would avoid political positions which demanded partisan activity. Aiming towards positions in the "family business" but continuing to serve as an operative of SPACE with a large degree of control over decision making. Even after admitting to Tarasov that he was no longer a believer of the autocracy of Tarasovism and wished to carve his own path, the pair would remain on well terms. Tarasov also endorsed his successful bid for Governor of Great Kashini in 2476.
[[File:Lagoon Island Estate.png|thumb|View of the [[Lagoon Island Estate]].]]
=== Family & Personal Life ===
Nimroy lived with [[Ezre Tazli]] on campus at Kihsan University for the duration of their education there during the 2440s, Tazli was a member of the [[House of Tazli]], a significant Kashinic noble family that evaded persecution by supporting the Tarasovites during the Civil War. The Tazli family are one of multiple groups that were close acquainted with the Nimroys before 2395. Originally, Markus Nimroy and [[Illto Tazli]] expected and pressured Douglas and Ezre to form a relationship and commit to a marriage. However, the pair turned down the notion, remaining close friends regardless.
Nimroy had struggled with an addiction to [[Skyshards]], an illegal psychedelic drug which originates from [[Cralas]]. The addiction began during the latter period of his time at Kihsan University, when he was exposed to the drug by colleagues. In 2466, it was discovered that members of the Panacoraxian secret society [[had been running a thirty yearlong drug struggling operation]], importing skyshards from Alsara to Kashini. Despite his addiction, he passed through to acquire his BA and MBA. Following this, he would volunteer to join the Intervention Corps, however a medical test unveiled his addiction. According to Nimroy, his father would not speak to him for two weeks, and Tarasov was extremely distressed that even a Nimroy could succumb to drug abuse. Nimroy would voluntarily join a drug abuse support program to solve his addiction. Alongside this, Nimroy claimed that his belief and faith in Valkyr was essential to quitting his rampant skyshard usage. In an interview as promotion for the [[Don't Do It]], anti-drug campaign, Nimroy stated: "one thing, one essential thing to 'Don't Do It', is that it's not just about yourself—it's about everyone—and that's the point. When my father, and Tarasov, discovered that I had been consuming the shard, I didn't feel not nearly half as much shame as I should have, now I absolutely do. Just don't do it, for family, for friends, and for yourself. Shards will not, and cannot bring you any joy or good, not like that of being with family."
During his military service, Nimroy took interest in science fiction and space flight. The captivation is primarily due to science-fiction comic series such [[Prodij Universe]], [[Astronomical]] and [[Xomnia]] being issued to many Ceironian soldiers [[as entertainment]] during the Heboi War. Whilst serving and subsequently afterwards, Nimroy purchased many aerospace and astrophysics publications, reading them during his free time. Nimroy by 2453 had taught himself so much material in relation to spatial engineering, that despite the [[mainly political reasons]] for Tarasov request his appointment as Administrator of NSEA; Nimroy's ascendency to the position was somewhat sensible. However, Nimroy refused to take office as he wasn't fully qualified for the position and had responsibilities elsewhere.
== C.U. Intervention Corps (2447-2449) ==
=== Enlistment & Augmentation ===
Immediately following the controversy of his skyshard addiction, Nimroy was barred from applying for the [[Ceironian Union Commissioned Officer's Academy Service]]. In spite of this set back, along with his family pleading for him not to enlist in the armed forces, Nimroy was determined to serve within the army. After a successful test having proven he hadn't consumed any illegal substances since the incident beforehand. In September, 2447, Nimroy would join the [[Ceironian Union Army Basic Training]] program at [[Fort Caste]], [[Oceanis]], lasting for two months. Nimroy joined the [[Ceironian Union Army Infantry School|Infantry School]] following basic training, however it would be cut short. As a penalisation for his past actions, Georgiy Tarasov elected Nimroy to be assigned to a high-risk experimental enhanced soldier program. This would be known as [[Project Wonder]] and its existence was only partially disclosed to the public in 2488.
Nimroy, as a subject in Project Wonder, was reassigned to the Intervention Corps' [[black site]] sub-branch, the [[Special Paleokaratic Analysis & Commandeering Endeavour.]] Nimroy prepared under SPACE's Advanced Individual Training program for several weeks until testing was underway. In this period, Nimroy would commit to the training at [[Fort Ponhea]], [[Stumond]]. Nearby the Paleokataric site responsible for the formation of SPACE and Project Wonder, was [[Bara Chuoi]], the first uncovered [[Paleo-Kataric Bunker]] in modern history. Throughout early December Nimroy would under-go preparations for the augmentation procedure, largely involving psychological and physical examinations. Prior to Nimroy being elected a viable tester, a [[total of eleven subjects]] had been chosen beforehand. However, five of these eleven died during the process, four were hideously deformed or injured, and two had undergone no changes but with minor scarring. Despite the giant chances of being maimed, Nimroy was not informed beforehand of the fates of the previous subjects.
Following the successful augmentation experiment and his pass in the AIT program, Nimroy would be permitted to perform in the COAS with the purpose of acquiring a Lieutenant Colonel rank.

[[File:Placeholder Person.png|thumb|Syad Apkentov]]
'''Syad's Affair''' was a segment of the political crisis known as the [[Syadian Blunders]] that divided the [[Late Kiriyan Potentate|Kiriyan Potentate]] starting from 1187 and ending violently in 1192 with the outbreak of the [[Wars of the Sovereigns]]. It along with the other blunders had come to show the degradation of the divinity and authority of the thousand year old [[Kiriyan Dynasty|Kiriyan dynasty]], and marked the end days of the potentate.
The scandal was revealed in August 1187 when it was discovered that [[Syad IV]], the [[Empress of the Ceironian Union|Emperor of Ceironia]], was in a secret love affair with [[Shi Mesazhi]], a [[Vahti sanguis|Vahti]] from the adversarial [[Sang Dynasty|Vyllitareh]]. When evidence of this relationship was shown to [[Parliament of Ceironia|Parliament]], there was widespread uproar and division amongst the nobility and clergy. Syad's eldest brother, [[Posatfo II|Posatfo]], had [[The Verboten Speech|presented the claims to Parliament]], and put forth a notion to dethrone Syad as emperor. Posatfo was subsequently imprisoned by Syad on treason charges, arousing the opposition and provoking future controversy.
Despite clear breaches of the religiously backed legal code, a significant portion of the priesthood, including the [[Shihyudetara|Supreme Priest]], [[Horuki Tamada]], backed or were at least dismissive of the severity of Syad's affair. On the 21st of April, 1188, Tamada had officiated the marriage between Syad and Mesazhi at a secret wedding, proclaiming all issue legitimate upon inheriting the throne. It appeared the crisis had been deescalating when Syad in-questioning by parliament's request, stated: "it is the will of Kiriya that I withdraw from my relations with Mesazhi, and open my heart to a true-born, Miyanu wife of high blood." Despite this statement having promised such, Syad had no intentions of following it, and sought to acquire a Ceironian wife in order to evade further suspicions.
Throughout 1188 to 1190, numerous houses of the nobility but most prominently [[House of Kiyoki|Kiyoki]], [[House of Yamatomo|Yamatomo]] and [[House of Kakovnich|Kakovnich]] tried persuading Syad to marry a number of potential brides. Despite none of the could-be wives appealing to him over Mesazhi, [[Atsuzhami Yamatomo]] was to marry Syad due to the political benefits from acquiring their loyalty, as they were the largest noble landowners throughout the entire potentate, owning vast swaths of [[Okinkand]]. The marriage between the pair began on the 7th of July, 1191, and would be known as the [[Wedding of the Forked Gold]], lasting a week and visited by over a hundred thousand.
At some point in October 1191, Posatfo escaped from the [[Isle of Lakhara]] in [[Kashini]], and rode for two-months to Latango with the intent of mustering an army to oppose Syad. [[Aahilbayu of Kihsan]], having been the one to organise Posatfo's escape with sympathetic guardsmen, ensured that his escape was unknown for the time being. Along with this, Aahilbayu had been in contact with Vladi Kakovnich, who since being rejected by Syad had began inquiring into whether Syad was still partaking in his affair with Mesazhi. Having acquired evidence for such, Vladi and Aahilbayu rode to parliament in Hyusaka to present it. In the first day of parliament being open on the 20th of February, the pair revealed evidence of the affair's continuation, and almost immediately parliament had been dismissed by Syad. An attempted arrest of the pair occurred but was stopped by members of parliament who blocked them being seized. Fighting broke out between those who supported Posatfo or Syad, however the brawl ceased when Syad withdrew the order but stated their speech privileges were permanently removed.
Not a day after the chaos in parliament, a messenger [[Avis aquilae|avian]] loyal to Syad informed him that Posatfo had escaped, and had already began establishing an army in Latango. It was also reported that Aahilbayu, Vladi and over a hundred members of parliament had all left the city, travelling towards Posatfo's forces. Immediately, Syad called those who remained in parliament and decreed the assembling of an army to compete with Posatfo with their approval, additionally, war was officially declared by Syad against Posatfo, thus beginning the Wars of the Sovereigns on the 21st of February, 1192.

Informally the '''Month of Remembrance''' or formally the '''Deposal of Vishula Hantr''' refers to the series of events starting with the public revealing of [[High Marshal of the Ceironian Union|High Marshal]] [[Vishula Hantr]]'s identity and true species to be [[Cralasian]] on August 28, his evacuation of the [[High Marshal's Palace]] the next day, the subsequent nationwide manhunt and conflict between Cralasian and Ceironian forces, and his execution at the hands of [[Douglas T. Nimroy (2N)|Douglas Nimroy]] on September 21, 2481.
In the months leading up to the deposal of Vishula Hantr, Douglas Nimroy and numerous [[SPACE]] operatives, including [[Deputy-Director]] [[Usach Antonova]] of the organisation became aware that Hantr was in fact behind [[The Troubles]]. Tensions within the [[Ceironian Union]] government grew exponentially following this, with SPACE, and a number of senior staff of the [[Ceironian Armed Forces]], including [[Chief of Staff]] [[Michael C. Eisenhower]], and the [[Commandant of the Intervention Corps]], [[Keten Yilzo]] joined the counter-conspiracy to stop Vishula Hantr. Furthermore, roughly [[seventeen percent]] of the [[Ceironian Union Federal Civil Service]] was discovered to be Cralasian in origin. Due to this, a careful orchestration was planned to stop the Cralasian infiltration of the Ceironian government, however it failed to remain confidential on August 22
Vishula Hantr became aware of the conspiracy, leading to the attempted ousting of Antonova, Eisenhower and Yilzo from their positions in the armed forces. An assassination attempt on Nimroy also occurred, due to his threatening [[Augment]] abilities and orchestration of the counter-conspiracy. A number of executive orders by Hantr took place, such as liquidating [[Nimroy Trust Group]] assets, an [[arrest warrant on an extensive number of non-Cralasians within the Ceironian Government]] deemed threats [[alongside hundreds of assassinations]]. This purge however was unsuccessful, with media not controlled by Cralasians properly reporting the events by August 25, and the majority of the [[House of Governors]] and the [[Senate]] declaring Hantr's government invalid on the 27th. On the 28th, Nimroy [[The Liberty Proclamation|officially declared at the steps]] of the [[Great Kashini State Capital Building]] the reality behind Hantr; his loyalty to Cralas, the extent of Cralasian operatives acting in Ceironia and the globe, his deceptions revolving the [[Phoney Wars]], and his aim to seize total control over the Ceironian government.
Hostilities between Cralasians operatives and Ceironians began mere moments following the declaration by Douglas Nimroy. Cralasian infiltration into the Ceironian army peaked at divisional levels, with entire battalions being made up of Cralasians. Poised to seize control over the entire government, the Cralasian divisions occupied tens of government buildings across Ceironia, including the securement of [[Latango]], the capital of Ceironia. However, an [[assault on the city of Latango by loyalist force]]<nowiki/>s backed by an armed civilian population resulted in Hantr retreating from the High Marshal's Palace. His retreat led to the classified [[HICOM facility]], [[Serpent]], named after his feigned appearance as a [[Nagani]]. In the first week of his retreat, conflict across the nation along with chaos across [[Alaxia]] and [[Acoria]] nearly collapsed the Ceironian government. By September 5, the majority of the Cralasian forces had surrendered or retreated to Cralas.
Upon the seizure of the High Marshal's Palace, additional documents regarding Hantr were discovered. Amongst these were reports of successful [[Augmentation]] of Hantr, through the same process that [[Nimroy underwent]] during the [[Heboi War]]. Due to this, Nimroy was likely one of the only individuals capable of capturing Hantr, due to the extreme physical enhancement that comes with the augmentation. An international manhunt was tasked with searching for Hantr. After three weeks of searching, documents detailing the construction and whereabouts of a restricted HICOM facility located in [[Svantara]], built for the very purpose of escaping assassination or capture in an event such as that. The [[1st Augment Battalion]], led by Nimroy and supported by the [[77th Infantry]], [[18th Airborne]], and [[22nd Armoured]] divisions [[assaulted HICOM Serpent]] on the September 20. After a day of fighting the [[5th Intervention]] division, the facility had largely been secured. However, a small contingent remained at the very tail end of the facility, including Hantr. Supported by [[Paleokataric instruments]] the 1st Augments forced their way into the final chamber where Hantr resided. A prolonged fight between the two enhanced fighters ended with Nimroy executing Hantr.
Its informal name, the Month of Remembrance relates to the dominant religion followed by [[Sinma]] across [[North-West Qatesh]], the [[Remembrance]]. Sinma are the historical enemy of [[Cralas]], with the Sinma species having been genetically engineered for the very purpose of fighting Cralasians during the [[Paleokataric Era]] by the ancestors of [[Blia]], [[Byanya]]. The religion's title of the Remembrance is due to the long lasting Sinma oral tradition of retelling the conflicts fought between Cralas and the Sinma. Due to Vishula Hantr's deceptions whilst serving as the [[High Marshal]] of Ceironia, the Ceironian Union had become hostile to many Sinma countries during his rulership. Following Hantr's death, relations between Ceironia and leading Sinma nations such as [[Sinma-i-hong]] and [[Cidk]] swiftly recovered, especially after the beginning of the Cralas War. September 21 is celebrated as [[Remembrance Day]] in Ceironia.

Latest revision as of 00:36, 1 September 2023
Remaking the entire CNIC page to be more realistically organised so this is going into the bin for now.
2427-2451: Rise to Prominence[edit | edit source]
Founded in 2427 during the merger of the Latango Arms Incorporated (now the Kashini Corporation) and Spania General Arms (now Spania Aeronautics), the Ceironian National Industrial Conglomerate quickly became the largest Ceironian government military-industrial contractor. The CNIC prior to 2454 was known as the Ceironian National Arms Corporation (CNAC). Whilst currently serving as the head administrative and financial company within the CNIC, the Kashini Corporation used to be involved in the production of military equipment. However as of 2454 onward, those responsibilities were stripped and it became the conglomerate face. The SAC was merely renamed to a more suitable title due to it primarily serving within both the civilian and military aeronautics industries. Additional companies such as the Inron Arms Company and North Kashini Arms were renamed to Inron Armaments & Armoured Automobiles and the Kashini Extraterrestrial Kompany. The sudden change from arms to extraterrestrial is that the NKA evolved from being simply a missile production company, to a privatised space program initiative, which heavily increased CNIC public standing during the Nimroy Era.
From May 2427 to June 2441, the CNAC was led by CEP Arthur L. Maliokov, under his Executive Premiership the two companies extended as the largest military-industrial entities within the Ceironian Union in both their professions of small arms, combat vehicles, utility trucks, attack and fighter aircraft production. Most manufactory facilities produced by the two companies lied within the cities of Latango, Spania, Horyuxia and Jacan, providing employment to several dozen thousand workers within the formerly mentioned cities. Maliokov during this time period was ahead of his time in terms of worker treatment, safety standards and environmental regulations if there were any. Unlike other businesses during the time period, neither Latango or Spania cut corners to evade cost cuts, didn't partake in scamming workers out of their labour, or offshoring to countries such as Thraxia or Ginsukyo, which were common sources of offshoring by many Ceironian companies. This earnt the CNAC a reputation as being loyal to the nation and the people, with improved its reputation immensely despite being a war profiteer company, it also provided perks such as favourable taxes and and tax-cuts, which may have in turn allowed the CNAC to afford more and more lobbying abilities as a feedback loop. Maliokov in June of 2441 resigned from his Chief Executive President position having led the corporation from its founding, to the 2430s civil-war where the company first saw a major uptake in influence as a result of supporting the Tarasovites. Later providing the Premiership to Anton Churchill, leading the corporation during the 2440s towards a starlit future.
CEP Anton Churchill, who led the CNAC from June 2441 to March 2451, played a key part in ensuring near monopolisation of the armament industries within the internal market of the Ceironian Union. The Inron Arms Company & North Kashini Arms during his premiership in were both integrated into the CNAC which further brought about their control over the nation's armament production industries. The NKA was also the primary producer of the Skybreaker and Dawnbreaker missiles, and produced enormous amounts of nuclear capable ballistic missiles during the 2440s and 2450s at the company's peak prior to alteration into the KEK. By the end of Churchill's reign, the corporation stood tall as the most significant developer for military hardware, naval vessels, aircrafts and missile building. During the late 2440s, Douglas Tiberius Nimroy, who by 2451 would be elected leader of the CNAC, was serving in the navy, quickly rising throughout the naval staff corps in despite only being in his twenties. At the point of the foundation of the Government-Business-Cooperative between the CNAC and Ceironian Tarasovian Government in March 2451, he was already a Rear-Admiral, and had heavy influence within the CNAC as the cousin of Churchill and was a key instrument in ensuring that the Latango Arms Inc. remained the dominant producer of Ceironian Navy vessels. Churchill upon the establishment of the GBC, resigned from his position and talks of providing the position to Nimroy was in the air. Throughout most of 2451, numerous associations within the financial board concluded that politically and economically, Nimroy being thwarted into the position was a great idea. What many would consider a risky move, resulted in a relatively positive outcome, Douglas T. Nimroy as a exceptionally qualified Rear-Admiral, was also an extremely competent Chief Executive President. During the 2450s his premiership would be no less beneficial to the corporation and Ceironia than the works and efforts of his predecessors.
2451-2463: Government-Business-Cooperative[edit | edit source]
The Ceironian Government-Business Cooperative Association was the formalisation of the alliance between the Ceironian Union government and Ceironian National Arms Corporation. It was a solidification of the already existing benefits that the Tarasovites provided to the CNAC and vice versa, such as the famous subsidisation favouritism, cheaply priced contracting, and other agreements that would generally be viewed as corruption and preposterous by outside parties. However, neither High Marshal Georgiy Tarasov and Chief Executive President Anton Churchill believed it as such upon its signing on the 2nd of March, 2451. As of the beginning of the 26th century, the Government-Business-Cooperative is still in full effect, with relative little resistance by the public towards its existence. During the 2460s struggle period and immediate aftermath of John T. Nimroy's assassination of High Marshal Larionovich in 2481, the pacts continuation was threatened by other corporations and the public to an extent. In the 2460s due to corruption and mass embezzlement, and in 2481 because the leader of the CNIC had quite literally murdered the High Marshal and called for revolution. Though, due to several benefactors, it never dissolved.
Douglas T. Nimroy, the most well known figure who led the CNAC from 2451-2454 and the refurbished CNIC from then on until his death in 2480, during the 2450s proved himself a fitting successor to Anton Churchill. The extremely relaxed corporate tax that existed within the Ceironian Union, which became even lower upon the founding of the GBC, extensive government investment and subsidisation schemes, all led to the CNAC being able to snowball into making up over roughly fifty percent of all military-industrial production goods within Ceironia by 2452. With a magnitude of benefactors applied to the CNAC, Nimroy transformed the corporation into the Ceironian National Industrial Conglomerate, as the corporation began to alter into a multi-industry company. North Kashini Arms was reprogrammed into what millions know today as the world's largest private space company, the Kashini Extraterrestrial Kompany, or KEK. Spania General Arms was changed to Spania Aeronautics, a significant military and civilian plane producer. Latango Arms Incorporated morphed into the administrative and financial face of the newly founded conglomerate as the Latango Corporation. Whilst the Inron Arms Company became Inron Armaments & Armoured Automobiles, constructing armoured personnel carriers, armoured fighting vehicles and other land based military products. It was at this point that Nimroy and the Latango Corporation completely solidified the three subsidiary companies into the fold, now allowing for the expansion into industries that didn't involve military-industrialism. Confidence in the CNIC from the government and general public from 2454 to 2460 was at its all time high as of that point, with similar peaks in support for the conglomerate during Nimroy's Kashini Governorship and Obadiah Stane during the 2490s.
Upon the rebranding into the CNIC, Nimroy-Hawkings Co and the Mass-Calculator Company were founded, the former specialising in the civilian motorcar industry, and the latter at that point in 25th century, the new and revolutionary computer technologies. Nimroy-Hawkings Co by the end of the 50s had established itself as a major player in the automobile industry, with its extremely affordable line of Commons-Interplanetary cars, which were primarily purchased by the working classes of Ceironia, but also found a place in the middle and upper class due to the attractiveness of the vehicles. Due to Douglas Nimroy wishing to maintain the CNIC's high standard of safety in the workforce, the company was tasked with ensuring that the vehicle products were also safe for use. The Commons-Interplanetary Mark I thus became the establisher within Ceironia of setting the standard for features such as car seatbelts, airbags and crumple zones amongst other components that could be taken for granted. Another important benefactor was that the Mark I was the first Ceironian vehicle wherein the mileage generally exceeded the early six digits without requiring a major mechanical repairing on average. An unknown factor at the time of the Mark I releasing was the project being bankrolled somewhat by the Ceironian Government, Nimroy-Hawkings Co would not have afforded the competitor crippling cost of the prized vehicle without significant subsidies, however the funding from the government granted the company confidence inside and without in terms of being able to secure investments from the companies unknowing of the deal. The car company, as part of Nimroy's plan to turn Kashini from simply being one of the major cities of Ceironia, to the face of the nation, had most of its factories and organisational assets located inside Kashini. This would be one of the primary factors in changing the headquarters the Latango Corporation from Latango to the Kashini Central Financial District and rebranding it into the Kashini Corporation.
The Mass-Calculator Company was a much different story, primarily serving as a subservient company and technological workhorse behind the privatised Ceironian Space Program led by the KEK. The economics of the company was thrown out of the window, and more-so functioned as a collection of computer technology complexes primarily located in the Arasia and Tarasov National Space Centres.

The Prime Subsidiaries[edit | edit source]
Nimroy-Hawkings Co[edit | edit source]
Nimroy-Hawkings Co (NHCo), serves as a subsidiary for the Conglomerate as it's largest civilian vehicles production company. Leads as the subsidiary with the highest total revenue due to a combination of dominating the internal Ceironian market and producing roughly 8,500,000 vehicles annually.
Inron Armaments & Armoured Automobiles[edit | edit source]
Spania Aeronautics[edit | edit source]
Nimroy Entertainment[edit | edit source]
Nimroy Entertainment (NE), known in full as Nimroy Casinos, Cinema and Comical Entertainment (NCCCE), is the primary subsidiary of the Ceironian National Industrial Conglomerate for the theatrical, gambling entertainment and publication services.
Kashini Extraterrestrial Kompany[edit | edit source]
Kashini Extraterrestrial Kompany (KEK) is the Ceironian National Industrial Conglomerate's aerospace manufacturing, ballistic missiles, orbital communications, space transportation and development company, headquartered in Reino, Kashini. Founded in 2454 by Douglas Nimroy as a means to expand North Kashini Arm's influence and public reputation by not only focusing on weaponised rocketry, it has grown to be the most extensive and achieving space related company on Oikia as of 2499. With the primary goals of expanding Ceironian intrasolar influence and near-guarantee of harnessing the many billions of tons of resources found on other planets, moons and asteroids. Current accomplishments include performing a lunar landing on February 2 of 2484, constructing two Douglas type rotating circle stations, one possessing the capability to house over fifty astronauts, and a continued lunar effort with a colony allowing for a capacity also roughly fifty strong. Economic exploitation of lunar's natural resources is also taking place with industrial facilities having been constructed. KEK has generally lead the scientific development of all space related technologies, equalled only by the International City's IAP, which is almost entirely funded by the High Alaxian Kingdoms. The KEK is the world's first and foremost privatised space program, however during its history, at certain times it was either fully private or borderline nationalised, such as during the 2460s and early 70s due to numerous embezzlement scandals and the ousting of Douglas Nimroy by the Conglomerate Financial Board. As of 2499, the KEK is in a formalised partnership with the Ceironian Union government and acts as the sole contractor for the Interstellar Corps, Ceironia's space military branch, whose Chief in-Command is Obadiah Stane, the current CEP of the CNIC.
Notable missiles and rockets developed by NKA and KEK include the Dawnbreaker and Starbreaker missiles developed during the 2440s-50s, the Coneman rockets which sent the first Ceironians and animals into space prior to the 2470s. The current establishment of rockets include the Starscreechers, in-use by the KEK and Interstellar Corps since the 2470s, they have provided Ceironia with efficient payloads and steadily advancing and more capable launch systems, the the second generation of Starscreechers are also in full use and have been provided significant improvements in terms of fuel usage, and safer methods of recycling the boosters, thus lowering costs. The company is not without issues however, as many left-wing activists across Ceironia are often dumbfounded at the existence of the KEK, due to its position as a private company, yet receives almost all of its funding from the pockets of the annual budget and thus the tax payers. However, due to Ceironia's relatively extensive welfare program, extremely insignificant tax-rate, and stable budget, the $100B space budget is saved from scrutiny from most mainstream media or government representatives.
Historically, the programs of the KEK Project Soaring Eagle, which included testing the conditions of the Oikian body in zero gravity for extensive periods of time, including the psychological affects, this was also done on animal subjects including large rodents and chimpanzees. However, the primary purpose of Soaring Eagle was to accomplish a lunar landing. Although Soaring Eagle was officially started in September of 2460, the grounds for it had been worked on from 2456 onwards, with a man being launched into space in 2459. The set goal was a fully attempted landing in 2464, which would have beaten the International City's efforts by several months, it was extremely possible with the CNIC's extensive budget of $45B. Unfortunately internal constraints between bickering Financial Board committees from 2460-63 would lead to the KEK's program grinding to an utter halt. The result would be a 5:1 vote in favour of blocking Douglas Nimroy from any decision making processes within all Conglomerate companies, effectively rendering the position of Chief Executive President worthless. During the 2470s after Nimroy seized control over the company once more after backing from the Tarasovite government, numerous journalists have promoted the idea that it was a personal favour from Georgiy Tarasov to Nimroy. As a result the program was rekindled in 2475 and the program was essentially factory reset, by 2480 several chimps and Humans were sent into orbit once more, and on February 2 of 2484 the moon landing would be accomplished with astronauts Danny Suns, Brandy Philips, Hank Howards, Daniel Vegas and Rupert Kirk (who would remain in the command module).
During the late 2470s the draw plans for another program would begin, Project Duality, which primarily served as a space colonisation mission and mass improvement of safety standards and rocket efficiency. Starscreechers, Douglas spin stations, lunar colonies, Adelfi orbital satellites and other important creations would be developed by this program. The two primary concoctions from this program as of 2499 have been the CNV McConaughey, which went through well over a decade and a-half of development, a fifty man 65m diameter two-wheeled spin station, powered by a nuclear reactor and containing multiple scientific and civilian facilities. The other creation has been the equally significant Ceironian Lunar Facility, also fission reliant, it allows for a similar number inhabitants as the spin station, and contains industrial facilities, which are planned to be expanded to allow for non-CNIC companies to exploit the lunar surface, similar to the IC's moon colony.
Future projects include the Starscreechers IIb project, wherein the entire rocket is able to vertically touchdown via powered landings, which is predicted to be a far better alternative to the questionable gliding, parachute and helicopter acquisition systems currently in place. The Enterprise Program, which has the goal of producing all-purpose intrasolar SSTO space shuttles equipped with an encircling spin station, destined to reach the orbits of Adelfi, the asteroid belt and other planets and moons with a crew of up to twelve astronauts. Starnet, an extensive satellite network which will provide internet to the masses, however this will most likely be shelved due to the cost being uneconomical at the current time period. Other ideas include the eventual acquisition of asteroids to be put on a trajectory toward the orbit of Oikia or lunar, for lucrative mining profits constructing starships such as the Enterprise on the lunar surface or in orbit entirely using resources garnered from space, aside from a number of rare-Oikia-materials.
Mass-Calculator Company[edit | edit source]
Founded initially as the computer research & development department for the Ceironian Space Program, the Mass-Calculator Company (MCO) evolved into a business with economics in mind. This transition from R&D department to work and family computers occurred during the 2470s when economic means of selling computers became more wildly available.

Template:Douglas T. Nimroy series Douglas Thames Nimroy (February 2, 2426 - May 29, 2517), commonly referred to by simply his first name Douglas, was a Ceironian-Kashin business magnate, politician, and super soldier who served as the 6th Senior Governor of Great Kashini from 2476 to 2486. A member of the Nimroy family and Tarasovians, he previously served as the 3rd Chief-Executive-Officer and 2nd President of Nimroy Industries. After the death of Markus A. Nimroy, Nimroy would be the largest shareholder in the Nimroy Trust Group, seconded only by Matthew Nimroy. Douglas Nimroy's code-name as a SPACE operative went by the title of the Silver Star.
Born into the distinguished Nimroy family, in Kihsan, Great Kashini, he would graduate from Kihsan University in 2446 with a Bachelor of Arts. Subsequently, Nimroy would move onto acquiring an MBA at Kashini Business School advancing in 2447. He enlisted into the Ceironian Union Army and participated in numerous military operations in the First Heboi War from 2447 to 2449. Following serving within the C.U. Intervention Corps, he would work as chief negotiator for Nimroy Industries in securing contracts with the Ceironian government from 2449 to 2453. This period is when the relationship between High Marshal Georgiy Tarasov, the Nimroy family, and the greater conglomerate-government relations began to flourish. During this period however, Nimroy would remain a Lieutenant Colonel in the CUIC's SPACE and partake in numerous military efforts throughout the latter stages of the Tarasovian regime. Nimroy was a major proponent for the monopolisation of the National Space Exploration Administration's contracts by Nimroy Industries' Kashini Extraterrestrial Company (then the Kashini Rocketry Company) and is cited as the primary reason why Tarasov approved of the sole-contractorship in 2452. He was the first governor of Kashini elected following the reintroduction of a multiparty state in Ceironia, subsequent to the wilful resignation of Tarasov. Supported by his close relations with Tarasov, and exploitation of said relationship during his time as an operative of SPACE under the title of Silver Star. Along with his Executiveship of Nimroy Industries to the benefit of Kashini, citizens voted overwhelmingly for Nimroy in the 2476 election season.
Nimroy defeated Republican Ayla Cherenkov in the 2476 election, although Cherenkov would eventually replace Nimroy as governor in the 2486 elections, by which point both joined the same party. Nirmroy's position as governor in his initial term was substantially involved in leading the pro-democracy faction during the disorderly period known as The Troubles shortly following Tarasov's resignation as High Marshal. Transition from the Tarasovite authority without due Constitutional amendments by Tarasov resulted in the apparent democratisation of the nation to be extremely open aired. Nimroy's personal relationship with Tarasov, his own principals, and general control over Great Kashini's politics and economy ensured that the region would have a guaranteed liberalisation. The Guarantee Act of 2477, Kashinic Autonomy Act of 2479, and the Liberty Proclamation were three key acts and executive orders that ensured Kashini could not have its own state laws be disregarded by an increasingly authoritarian and centralised government, if ever. Despite only being a member of the upper legislation, the House of Governors, Nimroy played a fundamental part in promoting a swift insurance through constitutional amendments that the social, economic and political freedoms of all Ceironians be guaranteed. After success on the home front, Nimroy continued to exploit his relations and business relations, largely using Nimroy Trust Group's Kashini News Corporation, a by 2480 well recognised and enormous news broadcasting corporation, to propagate Tarasovian democratic values. Upon winning re-election in 2481 he would undergo a severe degree of federal media scrutiny at the behest of High Marshal Vishula Hantr, who at the culmination of the Troubles was found to be a Cralasian replacement. Nimroy following the Deposal of Vishula Hantr focused on improving the Kashinic economy, as both the economy and nation itself became far more open to the rest of the world, this presented new opportunities for Nimroy to utilise for the benefit of his constituents. The Immigration Act of 2480, Zoning Reform Act, and the Workplace & Consumer Ethics Act, were three divisive but impactful legislations which defined the state for decades to come.
Nimroy inherited the role as CEO of Nimroy Industries after the retirement of his father, Markus Nimroy, and Matthew Nimroy's decision to not inherit the conglomerate, despite being first-in-line. Nimroy's position as chief negotiator proved extremely fruitful for the trust group and conglomerate, in-particular the sole-contractorship and the formation of the Ceironian National Industrial Conglomerate Agreement, so he was decidedly the most appropriate fit. From 2454 to 2463, Nimroy accumulated enormous proportions of revenue for his family, largely from enveloping other companies in mergers or total buyouts. Most of all, subsidies from the Ceironian government ensured that the Trust Group's subsidiaries could fund significant research and development efforts. This came along with supporting colossal advertising campaigns, both to bolster the Nimroy and company image across Ceironia. Innovations such as economically viable coloured television, numerous vehicular novelties, high-speed rail initiatives and almost all space related inventions are a handful of discoveries formulated during the 2450s by Nimroy Industries. During this time period, immigration into Kashini and the suburban expansion of Kihsan and Kashini skyrocketed. The general economy of Ceironia and Kashini are viewed to be Ceironia's peak of economic growth, parallel by the 2520s after the 15 Years Program, a reconstruction and revitalisation effort by the Ceironian government following the Great Blizzard of 2507.
Early Life & Education (2426-2447)[edit | edit source]
Douglas Thames Nimroy was born on February 2, 2426, at Ibis Hospital in Kihsan, Great Kashini. He was the second child of Markus Arthur Nimroy (2387-2480) and Paula Churchill-Nimroy (2391-2459) and was raised in New Wynnoa alongside his sibling and brother, Matthew Nimroy (2421-2500). Nimroy's father was the second CEO of Nimroy Industries from 2441-2453, and most prominent owner of the Nimroy Trust Group until his retirement in 2453. His maternal grandfather, Anton Churchill, served as Markus Nimroy's guardian, and was an Empheri immigrant. Nimroy's ancestry traces largely to Empheri with almost equal Kashinic influences, alongside Ceironian and lesser significant Ahitereiran, Svantaran, Eglyian and Koresan roots. His East Alaxian lineage originates from the first Empheri Diaspora into Kashini, during the 2320s, caused by an exodus of political rivals of Isaac Campbell after a series of repressive acts of parliament and violent clashes between the Nobility and Liberal militias across the country. The Nimroy family were originally referred to as the Ó'Nimoi and were a prominent Noble clan from the 18th century onwards till the 24th, when they were forcibly migrated to Kashini and reformed into a business-oriented family.
Following his birth by a couple weeks, in March 2426 the family would permanently move to their Lagoon Island Estate, in the town of New Wynnoa, located to the south of Kashini City. Nimroy's father had completed his Master of Business Administration degree by May of 2426, after being groomed for the role of CEO as Anton Churchill's heir to Latango Naval Construction Inc. LNC Inc was the last remaining company under Nimroy ownership that did not become defunct following the Ammonia Island Massacre in 2395, which resulted in all close relatives to Markus Nimroy being assassinated at the hands of criminal elements within Kashini. Due to this, Churchill was given guardianship over Markus Nimroy due to the existing close relations between the Churchills and Nimroys, this included the ownership of LNC Inc, up until Markus Nimroy became of age or whenever he delayed it to, which was after acquiring an MBA. During an interview with Ginsukyo National Television news anchors during his Governorship in 2488, Nimroy recalled his early childhood in relation to his father and Anton Churchill, stating; "Churchill was a grandfather to me, and without a doubt my father felt similarly-if not through blood, then via the bond and love that was shown—for this I am grateful." In a biography of Douglas Nimroy by author and biographer Annetta I. Cameron and called The Gateway Land. A chapter dedicated to Nimroy's relations Georgiy Tarasov goes into detail on how much Tarasov impacted his early life and youth. Cameron, who collaborated with Nimroy to understand the relationship between the pair was lectured on the matter. This included Nimroy proclaiming that without Tarasov, he himself and Kashini would be widely different, and for the worse. He elaborates by explaining that during the Ceironian Civil War from 2433 to 2437, when Kashini experienced heavy fighting between the Nationalist Front and Socialist Rosarists, that it was traumatic to him, as he was ten years old at the time. Tarasov was the most important influence in his childhood and life, Nimroy proclaimed that Tarasov was essentially a role model, particularly following the end of the Civil War, whilst becoming close friends during his latter youth until Tarasov's passing in 2485.
Within the period in-which fighting in Kashini took place, New Wynnoa was shelled by the factions of the civil war multiple times, with most of the Nimroy family, including Douglas, being evacuated from their estate. For five months, Nimroy lived on the CNV Venator, a Nationalist Front air-craft carrier built by the LNC, despite the war's hinderance to his childhood, Nimroys education as a student of Southside Integrated School continued in the form of an improvised education by onboard military academy training officers, up until the retaking of Kashini and New Wynnoa in the Battle of Aurora Bay in January of 2437,
Early & Latter Education[edit | edit source]
Nimroy only attended a single schooling institution up until college, Southside Integrated School, a college-preparatory academy in New Wynnoa. The school taught first years onwards to twelfth up until Oliver's Education Act of 2489. Southside permitted the enrolment of all species, of which the school's population was predominantly made up of Humans, Nagani and immigrant Heboian Vahti (following the First Heboi War). Amongst the Human ethnicities, Kashinics were most common, followed by Empheri and Ceironian students.
Nimroy would be enrolled at Southside at age five, in 2431, up until he was eighteen in 2444. However, as like many other Ceironian youths during the 2430s, many had their education stunted from the effects of prolonged urban fighting in major cities during the Civil War period. Despite the majority of suburban and urban youth experiencing multiple years of halted education due to a plethora of war related issues, the New Wynnoa portion of the Inner Kashini region was largely unimpacted in the war barring the latter stages. Throughout the conflict which, New Wynnoa only remained under shell fire and occupation by Rosarists for a period of five months, Nimroy would be displaced onboard the CNV Venator for the remainder of the war. Despite the displacement, Nimroy would continue his education on the vessel, whilst also being exposed to the potential of joining a junior military academy once he came of age. Nimroy stated that the primary causes for his volunteering to enlist during the First Heboi War was due to the period on the CNV Venator, alongside his growing relationship with Tarasov.
Following the end of the Civil War, and victory of the Nationalist Front and establishment of the Tarasovian regime, Nimroy would reattend Southside. Shortly afterwards he joined his local Junior League Hopallo club, Wynnoa Colonisers Intermediate, the 11-13 years subsidiary to the Wynnoa Colonisers. Nimroy would go on to graduate from Southside Integrated School as an upper band student, achieving the requirements to apply for a three year course in economics at Kihsan University. In 2446, he completed his thesis on the impacts of Rosarism on equatorial developing economies, titled "The Equatorial Communists". He subsequently graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics having attended from 2444 to 2446. Of his years in Kihsan, Nimroy himself described it as a delightful experience, "regardless of the security that of a job in in carpentry, or plumbing, or any other tradie course you can find—by far the greatest opportunity is found in upper education—not just that, but freedom as a whole. With that piece of paper, you can get any professional you want. Toppled with that, Kihsan offered an experience you couldn't finder any better elsewhere. The environment of the institution was extremely vibrant plane with a large array of peoples from all across Ceironia and Alaxia. Mutual respect and understanding for one-another was the key cultural aspect of Kihsan, if there was someone you did not appeal to, chances are relations would be mended overtime." An extract from an interview between Nimroy and the Kashini News Corporation's Sunday Eterna host Rupert Malcolm. Within the same interview, Nimroy went on to state; "in stark contrast to the Civil War, Kihsan was a place where the sum of our parts was wholly undivided." As a senior by this point, Nimroy joined the Panacoraxians, one of the four most prominent secret societies within Kihsan University, predominantly made up of foreign-born students. In the wake of his graduation with a BA, Nimroy described himself as debatably above average student, acquiring a grade point average of 0.81. Immediately following the graduation, Nimroy entered Kashini Business School. He graduated in 2447 with a Master of Business Administration, one month after the beginning of the First Heboi War.
Early Political Involvement[edit | edit source]
In 2439, Nimroy would join the League of Tarasovian Youth, encouragement from his father, along with being inducted into the League by Tarasov himself. Contrasting with other equivalent youth organisations in autocratic nations at the period, such as the Sutonese Zhangist Youth Union, and Fazarian Imperial Youth Organisation, the League was not a militaristic foundation. Despite still acting as a tool to indoctrinate Ceironian youth into supporting the policy and ideology of the Nationalist Front, there was little coercion or societal pressure to join the League and would simply be viewed as an extra-curricular activity. As one of multiple benefits that students who were members of the LTY, 2440 would be the first time Nimroy went abroad. He went on an excursion to Ginsukyo to study both the politics and history of the nation first-hand, which had just achieved total independence after an ousting of the pro-Fazarian government in December of 2439.
Nimroy described his political ideology at the time as; "nigh identical to all Tarasov had to say", as an avid reader Tarasovian Era literature in particular Tarasov's own works, such as Ceironian Exception and later on House of Rose. Despite believing the propaganda and teachings of Tarasovian ideals into his adulthood, following his tour in Heboi, he was largely disillusioned by its obsessiveness with exceptionalism. The forced augmentation played a large part in straining the relationship between Nimroy and Tarasov. Recounting in 2501 that; "if not for the war in Heboi, I likely would have gone through with what I had been groomed to do by my family and Tarasov himself. That is, becoming a career politician and the next High Marshal of Ceironia following Tarasov's resignation." Due to this, Nimroy would avoid political positions which demanded partisan activity. Aiming towards positions in the "family business" but continuing to serve as an operative of SPACE with a large degree of control over decision making. Even after admitting to Tarasov that he was no longer a believer of the autocracy of Tarasovism and wished to carve his own path, the pair would remain on well terms. Tarasov also endorsed his successful bid for Governor of Great Kashini in 2476.
Family & Personal Life[edit | edit source]
Nimroy lived with Ezre Tazli on campus at Kihsan University for the duration of their education there during the 2440s, Tazli was a member of the House of Tazli, a significant Kashinic noble family that evaded persecution by supporting the Tarasovites during the Civil War. The Tazli family are one of multiple groups that were close acquainted with the Nimroys before 2395. Originally, Markus Nimroy and Illto Tazli expected and pressured Douglas and Ezre to form a relationship and commit to a marriage. However, the pair turned down the notion, remaining close friends regardless.
Nimroy had struggled with an addiction to Skyshards, an illegal psychedelic drug which originates from Cralas. The addiction began during the latter period of his time at Kihsan University, when he was exposed to the drug by colleagues. In 2466, it was discovered that members of the Panacoraxian secret society had been running a thirty yearlong drug struggling operation, importing skyshards from Alsara to Kashini. Despite his addiction, he passed through to acquire his BA and MBA. Following this, he would volunteer to join the Intervention Corps, however a medical test unveiled his addiction. According to Nimroy, his father would not speak to him for two weeks, and Tarasov was extremely distressed that even a Nimroy could succumb to drug abuse. Nimroy would voluntarily join a drug abuse support program to solve his addiction. Alongside this, Nimroy claimed that his belief and faith in Valkyr was essential to quitting his rampant skyshard usage. In an interview as promotion for the Don't Do It, anti-drug campaign, Nimroy stated: "one thing, one essential thing to 'Don't Do It', is that it's not just about yourself—it's about everyone—and that's the point. When my father, and Tarasov, discovered that I had been consuming the shard, I didn't feel not nearly half as much shame as I should have, now I absolutely do. Just don't do it, for family, for friends, and for yourself. Shards will not, and cannot bring you any joy or good, not like that of being with family."
During his military service, Nimroy took interest in science fiction and space flight. The captivation is primarily due to science-fiction comic series such Prodij Universe, Astronomical and Xomnia being issued to many Ceironian soldiers as entertainment during the Heboi War. Whilst serving and subsequently afterwards, Nimroy purchased many aerospace and astrophysics publications, reading them during his free time. Nimroy by 2453 had taught himself so much material in relation to spatial engineering, that despite the mainly political reasons for Tarasov request his appointment as Administrator of NSEA; Nimroy's ascendency to the position was somewhat sensible. However, Nimroy refused to take office as he wasn't fully qualified for the position and had responsibilities elsewhere.
C.U. Intervention Corps (2447-2449)[edit | edit source]
Enlistment & Augmentation[edit | edit source]
Immediately following the controversy of his skyshard addiction, Nimroy was barred from applying for the Ceironian Union Commissioned Officer's Academy Service. In spite of this set back, along with his family pleading for him not to enlist in the armed forces, Nimroy was determined to serve within the army. After a successful test having proven he hadn't consumed any illegal substances since the incident beforehand. In September, 2447, Nimroy would join the Ceironian Union Army Basic Training program at Fort Caste, Oceanis, lasting for two months. Nimroy joined the Infantry School following basic training, however it would be cut short. As a penalisation for his past actions, Georgiy Tarasov elected Nimroy to be assigned to a high-risk experimental enhanced soldier program. This would be known as Project Wonder and its existence was only partially disclosed to the public in 2488.
Nimroy, as a subject in Project Wonder, was reassigned to the Intervention Corps' black site sub-branch, the Special Paleokaratic Analysis & Commandeering Endeavour. Nimroy prepared under SPACE's Advanced Individual Training program for several weeks until testing was underway. In this period, Nimroy would commit to the training at Fort Ponhea, Stumond. Nearby the Paleokataric site responsible for the formation of SPACE and Project Wonder, was Bara Chuoi, the first uncovered Paleo-Kataric Bunker in modern history. Throughout early December Nimroy would under-go preparations for the augmentation procedure, largely involving psychological and physical examinations. Prior to Nimroy being elected a viable tester, a total of eleven subjects had been chosen beforehand. However, five of these eleven died during the process, four were hideously deformed or injured, and two had undergone no changes but with minor scarring. Despite the giant chances of being maimed, Nimroy was not informed beforehand of the fates of the previous subjects.
Following the successful augmentation experiment and his pass in the AIT program, Nimroy would be permitted to perform in the COAS with the purpose of acquiring a Lieutenant Colonel rank.

Legacy[edit | edit source]
Syad's Affair was a segment of the political crisis known as the Syadian Blunders that divided the Kiriyan Potentate starting from 1187 and ending violently in 1192 with the outbreak of the Wars of the Sovereigns. It along with the other blunders had come to show the degradation of the divinity and authority of the thousand year old Kiriyan dynasty, and marked the end days of the potentate.
The scandal was revealed in August 1187 when it was discovered that Syad IV, the Emperor of Ceironia, was in a secret love affair with Shi Mesazhi, a Vahti from the adversarial Vyllitareh. When evidence of this relationship was shown to Parliament, there was widespread uproar and division amongst the nobility and clergy. Syad's eldest brother, Posatfo, had presented the claims to Parliament, and put forth a notion to dethrone Syad as emperor. Posatfo was subsequently imprisoned by Syad on treason charges, arousing the opposition and provoking future controversy.
Despite clear breaches of the religiously backed legal code, a significant portion of the priesthood, including the Supreme Priest, Horuki Tamada, backed or were at least dismissive of the severity of Syad's affair. On the 21st of April, 1188, Tamada had officiated the marriage between Syad and Mesazhi at a secret wedding, proclaiming all issue legitimate upon inheriting the throne. It appeared the crisis had been deescalating when Syad in-questioning by parliament's request, stated: "it is the will of Kiriya that I withdraw from my relations with Mesazhi, and open my heart to a true-born, Miyanu wife of high blood." Despite this statement having promised such, Syad had no intentions of following it, and sought to acquire a Ceironian wife in order to evade further suspicions.
Throughout 1188 to 1190, numerous houses of the nobility but most prominently Kiyoki, Yamatomo and Kakovnich tried persuading Syad to marry a number of potential brides. Despite none of the could-be wives appealing to him over Mesazhi, Atsuzhami Yamatomo was to marry Syad due to the political benefits from acquiring their loyalty, as they were the largest noble landowners throughout the entire potentate, owning vast swaths of Okinkand. The marriage between the pair began on the 7th of July, 1191, and would be known as the Wedding of the Forked Gold, lasting a week and visited by over a hundred thousand.
At some point in October 1191, Posatfo escaped from the Isle of Lakhara in Kashini, and rode for two-months to Latango with the intent of mustering an army to oppose Syad. Aahilbayu of Kihsan, having been the one to organise Posatfo's escape with sympathetic guardsmen, ensured that his escape was unknown for the time being. Along with this, Aahilbayu had been in contact with Vladi Kakovnich, who since being rejected by Syad had began inquiring into whether Syad was still partaking in his affair with Mesazhi. Having acquired evidence for such, Vladi and Aahilbayu rode to parliament in Hyusaka to present it. In the first day of parliament being open on the 20th of February, the pair revealed evidence of the affair's continuation, and almost immediately parliament had been dismissed by Syad. An attempted arrest of the pair occurred but was stopped by members of parliament who blocked them being seized. Fighting broke out between those who supported Posatfo or Syad, however the brawl ceased when Syad withdrew the order but stated their speech privileges were permanently removed.
Not a day after the chaos in parliament, a messenger avian loyal to Syad informed him that Posatfo had escaped, and had already began establishing an army in Latango. It was also reported that Aahilbayu, Vladi and over a hundred members of parliament had all left the city, travelling towards Posatfo's forces. Immediately, Syad called those who remained in parliament and decreed the assembling of an army to compete with Posatfo with their approval, additionally, war was officially declared by Syad against Posatfo, thus beginning the Wars of the Sovereigns on the 21st of February, 1192.

Informally the Month of Remembrance or formally the Deposal of Vishula Hantr refers to the series of events starting with the public revealing of High Marshal Vishula Hantr's identity and true species to be Cralasian on August 28, his evacuation of the High Marshal's Palace the next day, the subsequent nationwide manhunt and conflict between Cralasian and Ceironian forces, and his execution at the hands of Douglas Nimroy on September 21, 2481.
In the months leading up to the deposal of Vishula Hantr, Douglas Nimroy and numerous SPACE operatives, including Deputy-Director Usach Antonova of the organisation became aware that Hantr was in fact behind The Troubles. Tensions within the Ceironian Union government grew exponentially following this, with SPACE, and a number of senior staff of the Ceironian Armed Forces, including Chief of Staff Michael C. Eisenhower, and the Commandant of the Intervention Corps, Keten Yilzo joined the counter-conspiracy to stop Vishula Hantr. Furthermore, roughly seventeen percent of the Ceironian Union Federal Civil Service was discovered to be Cralasian in origin. Due to this, a careful orchestration was planned to stop the Cralasian infiltration of the Ceironian government, however it failed to remain confidential on August 22 Vishula Hantr became aware of the conspiracy, leading to the attempted ousting of Antonova, Eisenhower and Yilzo from their positions in the armed forces. An assassination attempt on Nimroy also occurred, due to his threatening Augment abilities and orchestration of the counter-conspiracy. A number of executive orders by Hantr took place, such as liquidating Nimroy Trust Group assets, an arrest warrant on an extensive number of non-Cralasians within the Ceironian Government deemed threats alongside hundreds of assassinations. This purge however was unsuccessful, with media not controlled by Cralasians properly reporting the events by August 25, and the majority of the House of Governors and the Senate declaring Hantr's government invalid on the 27th. On the 28th, Nimroy officially declared at the steps of the Great Kashini State Capital Building the reality behind Hantr; his loyalty to Cralas, the extent of Cralasian operatives acting in Ceironia and the globe, his deceptions revolving the Phoney Wars, and his aim to seize total control over the Ceironian government.
Hostilities between Cralasians operatives and Ceironians began mere moments following the declaration by Douglas Nimroy. Cralasian infiltration into the Ceironian army peaked at divisional levels, with entire battalions being made up of Cralasians. Poised to seize control over the entire government, the Cralasian divisions occupied tens of government buildings across Ceironia, including the securement of Latango, the capital of Ceironia. However, an assault on the city of Latango by loyalist forces backed by an armed civilian population resulted in Hantr retreating from the High Marshal's Palace. His retreat led to the classified HICOM facility, Serpent, named after his feigned appearance as a Nagani. In the first week of his retreat, conflict across the nation along with chaos across Alaxia and Acoria nearly collapsed the Ceironian government. By September 5, the majority of the Cralasian forces had surrendered or retreated to Cralas.
Upon the seizure of the High Marshal's Palace, additional documents regarding Hantr were discovered. Amongst these were reports of successful Augmentation of Hantr, through the same process that Nimroy underwent during the Heboi War. Due to this, Nimroy was likely one of the only individuals capable of capturing Hantr, due to the extreme physical enhancement that comes with the augmentation. An international manhunt was tasked with searching for Hantr. After three weeks of searching, documents detailing the construction and whereabouts of a restricted HICOM facility located in Svantara, built for the very purpose of escaping assassination or capture in an event such as that. The 1st Augment Battalion, led by Nimroy and supported by the 77th Infantry, 18th Airborne, and 22nd Armoured divisions assaulted HICOM Serpent on the September 20. After a day of fighting the 5th Intervention division, the facility had largely been secured. However, a small contingent remained at the very tail end of the facility, including Hantr. Supported by Paleokataric instruments the 1st Augments forced their way into the final chamber where Hantr resided. A prolonged fight between the two enhanced fighters ended with Nimroy executing Hantr.
Its informal name, the Month of Remembrance relates to the dominant religion followed by Sinma across North-West Qatesh, the Remembrance. Sinma are the historical enemy of Cralas, with the Sinma species having been genetically engineered for the very purpose of fighting Cralasians during the Paleokataric Era by the ancestors of Blia, Byanya. The religion's title of the Remembrance is due to the long lasting Sinma oral tradition of retelling the conflicts fought between Cralas and the Sinma. Due to Vishula Hantr's deceptions whilst serving as the High Marshal of Ceironia, the Ceironian Union had become hostile to many Sinma countries during his rulership. Following Hantr's death, relations between Ceironia and leading Sinma nations such as Sinma-i-hong and Cidk swiftly recovered, especially after the beginning of the Cralas War. September 21 is celebrated as Remembrance Day in Ceironia.
