	As soon as diplomatic channels were opened with alien life, the Hegemony prioritized its offworld expansion, investing enormously into its fledgling colony on Ouerea and increasing funding to the space program. As Ouerea became increasingly self-sufficient, Hegemony scientists turned their efforts towards expanding beyond Uueoa-Esa. The Hegemony possessed some warp-capable ships, purchased from human corporations - but Hegemon S’kresti did not wish to remain reliant on alien assistance forever. In collaboration with Solarian and Nralakk scientists, the Izweski Space Program began studying the science of warp travel. Their efforts finally bore fruit in 2437, with the creation of the first Unathi-manufactured FTL-capable spacecraft - the HRV Uezwik’s Hope, named for the project’s lead scientist.

	The Uezwik’s Hope was scheduled to depart Uueoa-Esa on July 18th, 2437, making a warp jump to a neighboring star system - but disaster struck. A minor unnoticed error in the calculations of the researchers led to the vessel drifting outside of the charted warp lane, diverting it from its planned course. The vessel rematerialized in the correct system, but the malfunction led to a high-speed impact on the surface of a barren dwarf planet. Solarian and Nralakk vessels searched for the Uezwik’s Hope for several days before locating the wreckage - with no survivors.

	The loss of the vessel was regarded as a great tragedy across Moghes, with some anti-Hegemony figures claiming it as a testament to Izweski wickedness, accusing the Hegemon of having thrown away the lives of its crew out of his own hunger for power. Though it was considered a tragic loss of life, there was little international anger until November 3rd, 2437- when the HRV Uezwik’s Memory successfully completed the same warp jump that its predecessor had failed. The Izweski were now an interstellar nation in truth, and to many of the other nations of Moghes this was a sign that they would soon be powerless before the Hegemony’s strength.

	On September 5th, 2439, the Traditionalist Coalition suddenly dropped an atomic bomb on the Izweski city of Da’ha’den, obliterating it. ~~It’s unknown how~~ the ~~Traditionalists gained access to~~ atomic weapons, ~~but~~ the ~~consequences~~ were ~~catastrophic:~~ both sides ~~began~~ a continued exchange of ~~atomic~~ weapons that ~~lasted for a week.

On September 5th, 2439, the Traditionalist Coalition suddenly dropped an atomic bomb on the Izweski city of Da’ha’den, obliterating it. Though some of the wealthier and more powerful kingdoms of the Coalition possessed atomic weapons, the Izweski were unprepared for their use in such numbers, with both sides beginning a continued nuclear exchange - launching hundreds of nuclear weapons. It is reported that observing alien vessels had their viewing shutters lowered constantly to prevent eye damage to the crew, as Moghes burned below them. The nuclear exchange lasted for one week. By its conclusion, hundreds of millions of Unathi were dead, and over sixty percent of the planet’s surface was rendered uninhabitable [[The Wasteland\|wasteland]].

	The Contact War was a massive global conflict that took place on [[Moghes]] and fought exclusively between [[Unathi]], and it created many [[Notable Unathi]] in its wake.

The war lasted from 2438 to 2449. The fighting was between two global powers, the Izweski Hegemony, and the Traditionalist Coalition.

	The Izweski Hegemony had a long history of condescending and patronizing attitudes towards its neighbors. As a global superpower it regularly and eagerly intervened in the affairs of other Clans and Kingdoms outside its borders. Many even within the Hegemony felt the Izweski were naked despots who would sacrifice any form of honor code or creed in the name of solidifying their own power.

	In ~~2433~~, a human exploration team discovered Moghes. Shortly after, first contact was made. Sol Alliance merchants and scientists flocked to Moghes, living under very careful observation and guard in Izweski cities. Skalamar, the second largest city in Izweski, became the first Unathi city to have a shuttleport constructed. Owned by NanoTrasen, it served to transport people to and from the planet’s surface.

	The Izweski claimed to speak for Moghes, and the difficulties in the early-days of human xenolinguistics had Sol and Skrell scientists taking the concept of the "Hegemony" extremely literally. Believing that Hegemon S’kresti Izweski spoke for all of Moghes, private and state businesses were done exclusively through him and his Clan, even if the business affected land or people outside Izweski borders! In most of these instances the Izweski had its vassals send out soldiers to enforce demands placed on the foreign populations.

	Shrewd political maneuvering by the Izweski Clan saw the introduction of the Extranet to Skalamar by ~~2434~~, though access was extraordinarily stratified to the upper echelons of the Hegemonic government, which reflected the massive economic disparity between the upper and lower classes of the Izweski Nation. With the unprecedented access to the sum collection of all human and skrell knowledge at the time the Izweski were able to begin creating bootlegs of human and skrell technology based on information gained via the Extranet, or otherwise gained in-depth as a result of various treaties or trade deals between them and galactic powers.

	By ~~2435~~ this resulted in the first fusion power plant being opened in Skalamar after rushed commissioning and construction. Operated by the Yuitiz Guild, which was the dominant monopoly of the Izweski energy market. The Yuiztiz Fusion Plant had a capacity of 30,000MW of electricity, compared to most Moghean Natural Gas power plants that had a capacity of 5,500MW.

	Needless to say, the global energy market collapsed as energy Guilds began to realize they would become irrelevant within a decade at most. Ironically the price of electricity skyrocketed across Moghes for years as fusion power became a reality and utility Guilds went under, whereas after a brief few months of fluctuations the Izweski found themselves achieving full energy independence until the conclusion of the Contact War.

	Azarak opened the summit with his infamous 'Broken Oaths' speech. In it he took on firebrand rhetoric, claiming the Izweski to be puppets of alien invaders who possessed 'false smiles and unknowable minds'. He blasted their condescending attitude towards the rest of Moghes, pointing out that the Izweski had turned the entire world economy into an unstable train wreck in their flagrant and unchecked proliferation of alien technology. He blasted the Izweski for their imperialism, claiming they desired to create a One World Government run exclusively by the Izweski family and their human masters, and famously ended his speech by proclaiming 'The Izweski founded their Hegemony on broken oaths! Will we allow them to break us like they broke the bodies of the Sarakus? They come with arms outstretched in friendship, but their intention is to reach out and snap our necks!'

	=== The ~~Ouerean Catalyst~~ ===		=== The Uezwik Incident ===

	~~In '''2437'''~~, the Izweski ~~Nation~~ had ~~established~~ the ~~Izweski Space Program~~, ~~and~~ with ~~bootlegged Sol Alliance technology constructed~~ a ~~rocket intended to carry 300 unathi colonists to their system’s second habitable planet~~, ~~Ouerea~~. The ~~launch~~ was a ~~disaster~~, ~~with a yet-unidentified failure causing~~ the ~~rocket~~ to ~~explode after reaching 2~~,~~000 feet and~~ the ~~death of all hands~~. The failure sends ~~shock waves~~ through all of Moghes, with the Izweski Nation suddenly besieged by scattered, angry neighboring Clans~~. Anti-Izweski Clans and kingdoms were~~ outraged by the unnatural use of technology leading to the loss of ~~so many~~ lives, ~~as well as~~ the ~~apparent indifference~~ of the ~~Izweski to~~ the ~~disaster~~.		As Ouerea proved to be self-sufficient thanks to the Hegemony’s massive technological leap foward, the Izweski Space Program turned its attention to a new objective: Building a warp-capable ship. After years of researches and cooperation with Jargon and Solarian scientists, the Hegemony unveiled to Moghes the very first warp-capable, Unathi-made ship, named Uezwik’s Hope, after the chief scientist that led the project until his death during an unfortunate accident while testing ship systems (something that many had seen as a sign for the rest of the project). In 2437, Uezwik’s Hope left Moghes, with a crew of 32 souls, composed of some of the brightest Unathi minds, many being part of Moghe’s most influential clans. The ship was meant to move to the edge of the Uueoa-Esa system, activate its warp engines, and reach a neighboring system where a Solarian ship would meet them and assist them if needed. However, when the time came to spool up the warp engines, a catastrophic malfunction led to the ship being crushed under its own warp bubble. The failure sends shockwaves through all of Moghes, with the Izweski Nation suddenly besieged by scattered, angry neighboring Clans outraged by the unnatural use of technology leading to the loss of Unathi lives, some of the brightest and most respected Moghes had, no less. On the 3rd of February 2438, a second attempt at Warp travel would prove to be successful, but the damages had been done, and tensions between the Hegemony and many increasingly hostile clans rose drastically.

	The Sol Alliance partnered with the Nralakk Federation to help Izweski construct a second rocket, with NanoTrasen engineers and scientists helping construct it. Its launch was successful, and Ouerea was colonized by 350 Unathi under the guidance of the Sol and Skrellian Alliances on February 3rd, 2438. This successful ~~colonization~~ caused panic and alarm outside the Hegemony. With the world's sole superpower now becoming an apparent space-faring power, Sinta'Unathi knew that it was only a matter of time before the Izweski became unstoppable, backed by alien overlords and the full wealth of the solar system.
