The Telton Universe is roughly divided into four major episodes.
The Ancient time deals with the rise of the two sentient species of Jarepa, the Kodran and the Hasvativa. The first event recorded in the history of Telton is the Foundation of Askenja by Soshjakur.
Both species finally engage into a deadly war over the dominance of Jarepa, resulting in a victory for the Hasvativa, leading to the foundation of the Klaatian Alliance between both parties.
As time goes on, the Klaatian Alliance pushes into space and begins to create a big empire between the stars. But as it stretches out farther, it becomes to weak to fulfill its duties anymore, allowing private organizations that have dominated the Hasvativa life ever since to gain new strength: The Great Cooperatives. After they have fought out a war with the Klaatian Alliance, the populace is divided: one part living within the original Alliance, the Klaatian Space, and the Cooperative Space, that knows no governmental restraints and is solely dominated by private organizations.
But as the centuries pass on, the development of the Hasvativa and Kodran stall. The Great Cooperative become tyrannic rulers. The situation is challenged when Earth is discovered with early stage mankind; the Klaatian Alliance senses one last chance to change the balance of power in her favor and begins to educate Humans within the Circle of Initiates.
However, inspired by terran apocalyptic visions, the Judgement evolves and begins a campaign of terror against the Great Cooperatives. In a final move, they wipe out the complete Kodran species, overthrowing the fragile balance of powers that has dominated the Sum of Living Space for milennia. Nearly the entire Hasvativa civilization perishes in the Great Breakdown that follows.
Shocked by the sudden disappearance of the Hasvativa, the Initiates are all tied up to define themselves and find a new identity; their situation is further made complicated by rivalry between the traditional Hasvativa Haturatism and newly developing Yeshuanism. The Initiates split up into several factions, but are able to maintain their integrity. Seldom they intervene on Earth, as the Isolationists dominate their policy for most of the time.
But when the world grows more chaotic with the 20th century, more and more, the Initiates begin to meddle into terran affairs while an earth bound group, the Nestrim, begins to guess the existence of the Initiates. The Initates and the Nestrim clash first when the Initiates take control over the Omninet. However, the Omninet and the Initates' dominance is destroyed along with Washington DC in 2042. The Initiates are betrayed by the United States shortly after and have to flee Sol, while Earth falls to a newly proclaimed World Government.
Three waves of the Great Expansion follow, scattering mankind in space. Only 300 years later, a new power forms, the Terran Government, to unite all of man. However, new powers have evolved at the fringe of human space: the Diaspora and the New European Union, both founded by first wave exiles.
As of the Initiates, they fled to Haresha, beginning to build their own state. However, some dissidents began to start experiments in genetic engineering that have been prepared secretly at Sol already. From these experiments the Jarepatitava emerge, and as the Initiates have wiped out themselves, they begin to take their place. Surrounded by the ruins of the Klaatian Alliance, they begin to create a new society, the Great Cooperative of the Jarepatitava.
In 2598, the Jarepatitava and the Terran Government meet at Aliset. Misinterpreting the Jarepatitava as being just another lonely colony, they attack. The fight is soon resolved with neither force wanting to escalate towards a full scale war without knowing more about its opponent. Both powers begin to know each other as the Jarepatitava hastily build up their military potential in order to be equal with the Terran Government's forces. Their strength is first tested at Harat in {date:destructionofomtatsiat}, when terran supported terrorists strike their fleet at Harat and manage to destroy the capital city on Omtat Siat. Although the Jarepatitava manage to locate and wipe out the terrorist's home world thanks to the help of Leah Dumont, they are weakened and not yet ready to retaliate. Furthermore, the question on how to deal with the Terran Government and mankind in general has polarized the Jarepatitava. When the Great Council summoned to the newly reconstructed capital for the first time, two major factions have evolved: those with a positive attitude towards the Terrans under Belian Sarotek as well as those with a negative attitude led by Darion Suhatek.
