Terminium Wars

(2063- 2065) When Terminium was discovered nearly thirty five years ago, it raised a lot of questions. What will we do with this near-unlimited potential? Despite its many predicted uses, Terminium's power has yet to be harnessed in full. TRC was determined to use their new invention to create hyperdrive engines capable of further space travel. The company who was hired by TRC to extract the Terminium, Polton Mining Inc, wanted to use Terminium as a tool to improve their mining lasers. Terminium was only found in small amounts, and Polton Mining saw that if they wanted any for themselves, purchasing it would be far too expensive. Polton Mining

began siphoning Terminium out from under TRC careful gaze in order to conduct their own research.

TRC discovered what they were doing and demanded they leave Terminus and hand over the terminium, but the head of Polton Mining decided that the gains from terminium far outweighed the costs of war. The Terminium Wars began as the supercorporations battled over the Terminium mines- containing all of the Terminium known to exist. They had little military power prior to the Terminium Wars, so a majority of the soldiers in the war were mercenaries.
