引言

之前的「長上下文」文章主要討論如何處理輸入長上下文。這類比於短期工作記憶。典型的用法包括長文章或書籍摘要、多輪對話、檢索增強生成（RAG）、圖像或視頻的大型語言模型（LLM）。輸入長上下文是當前大型語言模型技術中非常有用且重要的一個特徵。

然而，輸出長上下文則較少被關注，並且呈現出一系列獨特的挑戰和機會。輸出長上下文指的是語言模型生成延伸回應的能力，這些回應能夠在較長的文本段落中保持連貫性、相關性和吸引力。輸出長上下文的應用涵蓋了多個領域，如講故事、學術寫作、技術文檔，甚至是商業、電影或遊戲情境生成。

這並不是說我們現在沒有更長的上下文。事實上，所有多輪對話自然都是輸出長上下文。它們是連貫的、相關的並且引人入勝。問題在於它是對話而不是獨白。關鍵在於如何將這種多輪對話技巧轉換為單一故事綫。因此，Agent 可以用於幫助於生成輸出長上下文。

輸出長上下文挑戰

典型生成的輸出上下文一次限制在數百個標記。這是對話 Agent 所訓練的範疇。儘管自然語言處理（NLP）有了進步，生成長上下文輸出仍然面臨諸多挑戰：

有限的上下文窗口：大多數模型在一次可以處理的輸入長度上有預定的限制。這通過納入更長上下文技術的進展有所解決或至少部分解決[[2023-10-14-Long_Context]]。
緩慢的生成速度：由於維持較大文本範圍的一致性所需的大量計算和內存帶寬，長LLM輸出生成可能會很慢。這通過加速技術的進展得到了解決[[2024-08-20-PLD_Code]]。
短上下文訓練偏見：許多模型主要是在較短文本上訓練，導致它們在輸出生成中偏向簡潔。這種偏見可能會使它們過早地截斷較長的回應。這是本文的重點。通過使用類似於多輪對話的方法，本文提出了一種“AgentWrite”方法，利用分而治之的方法來創建長上下文。

AgentWrite [[2024-05-21-AI_Agent]]

本文探討了當前長上下文大型語言模型（LLM）在生成擴展輸出時的限制。大多數LLM輸出生成存在「2000字限制」，這被歸因於在監督性微調（SFT）數據集中缺乏長輸出示例。此文介紹了AgentWrite，一種基於 Agent 的流程，將長寫作任務分解為較小的子任務，使LLM能夠產生更長且更連貫的輸出。作者然後使用AgentWrite生成一個名為LongWriter-6k的數據集，該數據集包含6000個SFT數據點，輸出範圍從2000到32000字。將此數據集納入LLM訓練成功地將現有模型的輸出窗口大小擴展到超過10000字，同時保持輸出質量。本文還介紹了LongBench-Write，這是一個專門設計用於評估超長生成能力的基準，並展示他們的9B參數模型超越了甚至更大的專有模型。

AgentWrite旨在增強長上下文輸出的生成。其框架如下。關鍵概念：

分而治之方法論：首先使用 Agent 創建詳細的寫作計劃，概述輸出的結構並設置每段的字數要求。它本質上將複雜任務分解為可管理的小部分，以便進行更深入的處理和理解。
結構化序列生成：每段根據來自 Agent 和前一段的輸入生成，確保連貫性和相關性。

AgentWrite將長寫作任務分解為較小、更可管理的子任務，讓LLM能夠完成。這種分而治之的方法使模型能夠生成超過其通常限制的延伸且連貫的輸出。

請注意，在此示例中， Agent 和作者均使用相同的LLM。在實際應用場景中，它們可以是不同的LLM或甚至位於不同的位置（例如設備和伺服器、邊緣和雲端）。

改進計劃

當前段落生成僅依賴 Agent 計劃和前一段落，存在缺陷：

這種限制可能導致生成的文本缺乏連貫性和深度，因為它可能未能充分考慮在敘述中早先建立的更廣泛背景。
由於後續段落的輸入僅依賴於前一段落的完整上下文，由於上下文長度的限制，這迫使每個段落保持在數百字（例如500-800字）之內。這可能限制了AgentWrite的應用。

為了提升長上下文輸出的質量，我們提議：

摘要與加速：在Agent Write框架內採用摘要技術加上檢索解碼以加速。通過總結冗長輸入中的關鍵點並傳遞給後續撰寫者，可以改善清晰度並保留重要細節，同時減少冗長。
圖形：更高級的實施可能考慮使用圖形來組織和表示概念之間的關係。類似GraphRAG的實施。
反思：利用摘要來修訂計劃（反思）。這是值得考慮的一項工作！

Introduction

Previous “long context” articles are about how to deal with input long context. The bain analogy is long short-term working memory. The typical usages are long article or book summarization, multi-run convesation, RAG, image or video LLM. Input long context is very useful and important feature of current LLM technology.

Output long context, however, is less addressed and presents its own unique set of challenges and opportunities. Output long context refers to the ability of language models to generate extended responses that maintain coherence, relevance, and engagement over longer passages of text. Output long context applications include various domains such as storytelling, academic writing, technical documentation, and even commercial, movie, or game context generation.

This is not saying that we don’t have longer context these days. In fact, all multi-run conversations are naturally output long context. It is coherent, revelvant, and engaging. The issue is it is dialog instead of monolog. The catch is how to convert this multi-run convesations skill to single storytelling. This is how the agent can help to output long context.

Output Long Context Challenges

The typical generated output context is limited to 100’s tokens at a time. This is conversational agents is trained for. While there are advancements in NLP, generating long context outputs remains fraught with challenges:

Limited Context Windows: Most models have a predefined limit on the length of input they can process at once. This is adressed or at least partially resolved by the progress for incorporating longer contexts techniques [[2023-10-14-Long_Context]].
Slow Generation Speed: Long LLM output generation can be slow due to the extensive computation and memory bandwidth required to maintain coherence over larger text spans. This is addressed by the progress of accelerating techniques [[2024-08-20-PLD_Code]].
Short Context Training Bias: Many models have been trained predominantly on shorter texts, leading them to favor brevity in output generation. This bias may cause them to truncate longer responses prematurely. This is the focus of this paper. By using an analogus appoach of multi-turn conversation, this article propose an “AgentWrite” approach, which uses divide and conquer methdology to create long context.

AgentWrite [[2024-05-21-AI_Agent]]

This paper explores the limitations of current long context LLM in generating extended outputs. There is a “2,000-word limit” in most LLM output generation, which they attribute to the scarcity of long-output examples in Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) datasets. The paper introduce AgentWrite, an agent-based pipeline that breaks down long writing tasks into smaller subtasks, enabling LLMs to produce longer and more coherent outputs. The authors then use AgentWrite to generate a dataset called LongWriter-6k containing 6,000 SFT data points with outputs ranging from 2,000 to 32,000 words. Incorporating this dataset into LLM training successfully scales the output window size of existing models to over 10,000 words while maintaining output quality. The paper also presentes LongBench-Write, a benchmark specifically designed for evaluating ultra-long generation capabilities, and demonstrate that their 9B parameter model surpasses even much larger proprietary models.

AgentWrite is designed to enhance the generation of long context outputs. Its framework is shown below. The key concepts:

Divide-and-Conquer Methodology: Use agent first creating a detailed writing plan that outlines the structure of the output and sets word count requirements for each paragraph. It essentially breaks down complex tasks into manageable segments for deeper processing and understanding.
Structured Sequential Generation: Each paragraph is generated based on inputs from the agent and the previous paragraph, ensuring coherence and relevance.

AgentWrite breaks down long writing tasks into smaller, more manageable subtasks that LLMs are able to complete.4 This divide-and-conquer approach allows the model to generate extended and coherent outputs exceeding its usual limitations.

Note in this example, both the agent and the writer are using the same LLM. They can be different LLMs or even locate at different places (e.g. device and server, edge and cloud) in a real application scenarios.

Improvement Plan

Current paragraph generation only depends on agent planning and previous paragraph have drawbacks:

This limitation can lead to a lack of coherence and depth in the generated text, as it may not fully consider the broader context established earlier in the narrative.
Because the input of the sequent paragraph only depends the full context of the previous paragraph. Due to the context length limitation, it forces each paragraph in hundreds of words (e.g. 500-800). This can limit the applications of the AgentWrite.

To enhance the quality of long context outputs, we propose

Summary and acceleration: Employ summarization techniques plus retrieval decoding for acceleration within Agent Write’s framework. By summarizing key points from lengthy inputs and pass to the subsequent writer can improve clarity and retain essential details while mitigating verbosity.
Graph: More advanced implementation may consider employing graphs to organize and represent relationships between concepts. Similar implementation like GraphRAG.
Reflection: Use the summary to revise the plan (reflection). This is something worthwhile for deploying!

The Birth of the Galaxy Empire

In the distant reaches of the galaxy, long before the advent of modern starfaring civilizations, the nascent Galaxy Empire emerged from the chaos of countless celestial conflicts. This monumental empire was born out of necessity, forged in the crucible of survival and ambition. The seeds of its creation were sown by a coalition of diverse star systems, each with its own unique culture and technology, bound together by a common enemy.

The catalyst for the formation of the Galaxy Empire was the relentless assault by the Dominion, a formidable alien race known for their ruthless conquest and advanced military tactics. The Dominion’s ambition was nothing short of galactic domination, and they laid waste to countless star systems in their path. Faced with extinction, the leaders of various star systems realized that their individual efforts were futile against such a powerful adversary. It was then that the idea of a united front took root.

The first step in forming the Galaxy Empire was the Galactic Council, a grand assembly of representatives from the most influential star systems. This council was convened on the neutral grounds of the planet Althor, a bustling hub of commerce and diplomacy. The leaders of these star systems, each with their own agendas and ambitions, had to set aside their differences and agree on a unified strategy. This was no easy task, as mistrust and rivalry ran deep. However, the looming threat of the Dominion united them in a way nothing else ever had.

The Galactic Council established the foundational principles of the Galaxy Empire. These principles were enshrined in the Galactic Charter, a document that outlined the rights and responsibilities of each member system. The Charter emphasized cooperation, mutual defense, and the sharing of resources and technology. It was a bold experiment in interstellar democracy, one that required a level of trust and collaboration that had never before been achieved on such a grand scale.

The next phase was the formation of the Galactic Senate, a legislative body tasked with making laws and ensuring the smooth functioning of the empire. The Senate was composed of representatives from each member system, ensuring that all voices were heard. This body was responsible for everything from military strategy to trade regulations, and its decisions were meant to reflect the collective will of the empire’s citizens.

The final piece of the puzzle was the Galactic Commander, a position of immense power and responsibility. The first Galactic Commander was chosen through a rigorous selection process that took into account not only their military prowess but also their ability to lead and unite diverse cultures. This commander was tasked with leading the empire’s military forces and ensuring the security of its borders.

With these structures in place, the Galaxy Empire began to take shape. The member systems started to work together more closely, pooling their resources and knowledge to develop new technologies and strategies. The empire’s economy flourished as trade routes expanded and new markets opened up. Cultural exchanges became common, fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose among the citizens of different star systems.

However, the road to unity was not without its challenges. The diverse cultures and political systems of the member systems often clashed, leading to heated debates and occasional conflicts within the Galactic Senate. There were those who questioned the very idea of a united galaxy, arguing that it stifled individuality and autonomy. But the leaders of the empire remained steadfast in their belief that the benefits of unity far outweighed the costs.

As the Galaxy Empire continued to grow and expand, it faced new threats and challenges. The Dominion, though defeated, left behind a legacy of instability and conflict. And as the empire grew in power and influence, it attracted the attention of other factions, both friendly and hostile. But through it all, the Galaxy Empire held firm, its foundation of unity and cooperation proving to be its greatest strength.

The Rebellion and Escape

As the Galaxy Empire flourished, cracks began to appear in its foundation. The diverse cultures and political systems that once united under the Galactic Charter began to show signs of strain. Discontent simmered among the member systems, fueled by economic disparities, political corruption, and the erosion of individual freedoms. The Galactic Senate, once a beacon of unity, became a battleground for conflicting interests and ideologies.

The spark that ignited the rebellion came from the planet Serenar, a thriving industrial hub that had long felt marginalized within the empire. Serenar’s leaders, disillusioned by the lack of representation and the concentration of power in the hands of a few influential star systems, called for reform. Their demands were simple but profound: greater autonomy, fairer resource distribution, and a more equitable political system. When the Galactic Senate failed to act on these demands, Serenar declared its independence, setting off a chain reaction across the galaxy.

Rebellion quickly spread to other systems, each with its own grievances and aspirations. The planet Velyria, a center of advanced scientific research, sought greater control over its intellectual property and technological advancements. On the frontier world of Draykon, residents fought for self-governance against the oppressive rule of a corrupt local governor. These disparate uprisings coalesced into a unified rebellion, driven by a shared desire for change and a belief in the possibility of a better future.

The empire responded with a ruthless crackdown, deploying its powerful military forces to suppress the rebellion. The Galactic Commander, once a symbol of unity and hope, became the face of oppression as his troops crushed dissent with brutal efficiency. The empire’s advanced technology gave it a significant advantage, but the rebels were undeterred. They employed guerrilla tactics, leveraging their knowledge of the local terrain and their intimate understanding of the empire’s weaknesses.

The rebellion’s first major victory came on the planet Elyon, where a well-coordinated strike by rebel forces managed to disable the empire’s main supply lines. This victory not only boosted the rebels’ morale but also demonstrated their ability to hold their own against the empire’s superior forces. Encouraged by their success, the rebels launched a series of strategic offensives, targeting key infrastructure and communication networks.

Despite their initial successes, the rebels faced significant challenges. Supplies were scarce, and their forces were constantly under threat of counterattacks. The empire’s propaganda machine worked tirelessly to paint the rebels as terrorists and traitors, sowing seeds of doubt and fear among the galaxy’s population. Moreover, the Galactic Senate remained divided, with some members secretly negotiating with the empire while others continued to support the rebellion.

In a desperate bid to turn the tide, the empire launched a full-scale offensive aimed at the heart of the rebellion. The Battle of Serenar was a brutal conflict that saw the empire deploying its most advanced warships and elite troops. The rebels, however, were prepared. Utilizing a combination of guerrilla tactics and innovative technology, they managed to hold their ground and even inflict heavy casualties on the empire’s forces.

As the battle raged on, it became clear that the empire’s strategy of brute force was failing. Realizing that a prolonged conflict would only lead to further devastation, the rebel leaders made a bold decision. They initiated a massive evacuation operation, relocating their forces and key personnel to a hidden sanctuary deep within the galaxy. This sanctuary, known as the Hidden Expanse, was a network of uncharted star systems that provided a safe haven from the empire’s reach.

The escape was a logistical nightmare, requiring precise coordination and the element of surprise. The rebels managed to transport their most valuable assets, including advanced technology, crucial documents, and a significant portion of their population, to the Hidden Expanse. The operation was a success, but it came at a great cost. Many rebels lost their lives in the process, and the remaining forces were forced to go into hiding.

In the aftermath of the escape, the rebel leaders regrouped in the Hidden Expanse, determined to rebuild and reorganize. They established a provisional government, known as the Rebel Council, to oversee the transition to a new form of governance. This new government was based on the principles of democracy and self-determination, aiming to create a society that would be truly representative of all its citizens.

The rebellion’s escape to the Hidden Expanse marked the beginning of a new chapter in the galaxy’s history. It was a testament to the resilience and determination of the rebel forces, who refused to be silenced or suppressed. As they worked to establish their new society, they also began to lay the groundwork for a future confrontation with the Galaxy Empire, determined to fight for their freedom and the right to self-governance.

Democratic Stars Union Formation

In the aftermath of their daring escape to the Hidden Expanse, the rebel leaders knew that rebuilding their society would not be easy. The challenges were immense: they had to establish a functional government, ensure the safety and well-being of their people, and prepare for the inevitable confrontation with the Galaxy Empire. Yet, they were determined to create a new model of governance that would be rooted in democracy and self-determination.

The first order of business was to establish a provisional government that could effectively represent the diverse interests of the newly formed Democratic Stars Union. The Rebel Council, initially composed of leaders from the major rebel factions, expanded to include representatives from various star systems within the Hidden Expanse. This inclusive approach was crucial in ensuring that all voices were heard and that the new government reflected the collective will of its citizens.

The core principles of the Democratic Stars Union were enshrined in the Union Charter. This document outlined the rights and responsibilities of the citizens, the structure of the government, and the principles that would guide their interactions with other star systems. The Union Charter emphasized the importance of democracy, equality, and the rule of law. It also called for the protection of individual freedoms and the promotion of scientific and cultural advancements.

With the foundational principles in place, the next step was to establish the Union’s legislative and executive branches. The Union Assembly was formed as the legislative body, composed of representatives from each member system. This assembly was responsible for creating laws, approving budgets, and overseeing the implementation of policies. The Union President served as the head of the executive branch, tasked with enforcing laws, representing the Union in interstellar diplomacy, and leading the Union’s military forces.

The Union Assembly quickly got to work, passing a series of laws aimed at establishing a fair and equitable society. These laws included measures to ensure equal representation, protect civil liberties, and promote economic development. One of the most significant laws was the Resource Distribution Act, which aimed to address the economic disparities that had fueled the rebellion. This act mandated the fair distribution of resources and the establishment of trade agreements that would benefit all member systems.

To ensure the stability and effectiveness of the new government, the Union Assembly also established a judicial system. This system was designed to uphold the rule of law, protect individual rights, and resolve disputes between member systems. The Union Supreme Court, composed of independent judges from various star systems, was tasked with interpreting the Union Charter and ensuring that all laws were in line with its principles.

In addition to establishing a functional government, the Union leaders also focused on building a strong economy and infrastructure. They initiated numerous projects to develop the Hidden Expanse’s natural resources, improve transportation networks, and establish new industries. These efforts were crucial in providing jobs and stabilizing the Union’s economy.

Cultural exchange and education were also prioritized. The Union Assembly established a network of schools and universities that promoted scientific research, technological innovation, and the arts. These institutions became centers of learning and cultural exchange, fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose among the Union’s citizens.

As the Democratic Stars Union continued to grow and develop, it also began to reach out to other star systems in the galaxy. The Union leaders understood that building alliances and fostering diplomatic relations would be essential in their ongoing struggle against the Galaxy Empire. They initiated diplomatic missions to neighboring star systems, presenting the Union Charter and seeking support for their cause.

These diplomatic efforts were met with mixed reactions. Some star systems were wary of the Union, fearing that it would lead to further conflict. Others, however, were inspired by the Union’s principles of democracy and self-determination and offered their support. These alliances provided the Union with crucial resources and military assistance, strengthening its position in the face of the Empire’s threats.

The formation of the Democratic Stars Union marked a significant turning point in the galaxy’s history. It represented a new model of governance, one that prioritized the rights and freedoms of its citizens and sought to build a more just and equitable society. As the Union continued to grow and develop, it set the stage for a new era of conflict and cooperation in the galaxy, with the Union and the Galaxy Empire poised for a confrontation that would shape the future of the entire galaxy.

The Rise of the Third Party and the Trade Union

As the Democratic Stars Union solidified its foundation, a new force began to emerge within the galaxy—a third party that would challenge the established order of both the Galaxy Empire and the Union. This third party, known as the Interstellar Unity Movement (IUM), was a coalition of diverse star systems and individuals who believed that the existing political structures were inadequate in addressing the galaxy’s complex challenges. The IUM’s vision was to create a new form of governance that would transcend the limitations of both empire and democracy, focusing on economic cooperation, technological advancement, and interstellar unity.

The IUM’s origins can be traced back to a series of economic crises that had plagued various star systems, both within and outside the Galaxy Empire. These crises were exacerbated by the uneven distribution of resources and the economic disparities that existed between different regions of the galaxy. The IUM saw an opportunity in the widespread dissatisfaction with the current systems of governance and economics. They proposed a new model that would prioritize trade and economic cooperation over political and military dominance.

The cornerstone of the IUM’s platform was the establishment of the Galactic Trade Union (GTU), an interstellar economic organization designed to promote free trade, resource sharing, and technological exchange among member systems. The GTU aimed to create a balanced and equitable economic system that would benefit all participating star systems. To achieve this, the IUM initiated a series of diplomatic missions, seeking to recruit new members and build alliances across the galaxy.

The IUM’s rise was fueled by a combination of strategic diplomacy and grassroots activism. They utilized advanced propaganda techniques to spread their message, utilizing media and communication networks to reach a wide audience. Their campaigns emphasized the benefits of economic cooperation and the potential for a prosperous future free from the constraints of political conflict. This approach resonated with many star systems that were struggling economically or felt marginalized by the existing powers.

One of the key figures in the IUM’s rise was Lysara Voss, a charismatic leader and economist from the planet Zephyr. Voss was a visionary who believed that true progress could only be achieved through collaboration and mutual benefit. Under her leadership, the IUM gained significant traction, particularly among star systems that were economically disadvantaged or felt oppressed by the Empire or the Union. Voss’s ability to inspire and mobilize support for the IUM’s cause played a crucial role in its rapid expansion.

The IUM’s influence grew steadily, as more star systems joined the Galactic Trade Union. These new members brought with them a wealth of resources, technology, and expertise, which further strengthened the GTU’s position. The GTU established trade routes and economic partnerships that had never before been possible, creating a new network of interstellar commerce that began to rival the influence of both the Empire and the Union.

However, the IUM’s rise also attracted the attention of the Empire and the Union, both of which viewed the GTU as a threat to their dominance. The Empire, in particular, was concerned about the potential for the GTU to undermine its control over the galaxy’s resources and trade. The Union, on the other hand, saw the IUM’s emphasis on economic cooperation as a challenge to its democratic ideals and political structure.

In response, both the Empire and the Union increased their efforts to counter the IUM’s influence. The Empire launched a series of military campaigns aimed at suppressing the rebellion and preventing the spread of the IUM’s ideas. The Union, meanwhile, intensified its diplomatic efforts, seeking to isolate the IUM and prevent it from gaining further support.

Despite these challenges, the IUM and the GTU continued to grow and adapt. They developed new strategies and alliances, leveraging their economic power and technological expertise to maintain their position. The IUM’s emphasis on cooperation and mutual benefit resonated with many star systems, and its message of a united and prosperous galaxy began to gain traction.

As the IUM and the GTU solidified their position, they began to lay the groundwork for a new political and economic order in the galaxy. Their vision of an interstellar community built on cooperation and shared prosperity presented a compelling alternative to the existing systems of empire and democracy. The rise of the IUM and the GTU marked a significant shift in the galaxy’s political landscape, setting the stage for a new era of conflict and cooperation that would shape the future of the entire galaxy.

The Battle Between the Galaxy Empire and the Democratic Stars Union

As tensions between the Galaxy Empire and the Democratic Stars Union reached a boiling point, the inevitable clash was set to reshape the galaxy’s future. The underlying causes of this conflict were multifaceted, rooted in ideological differences, territorial disputes, and the struggle for resources. The Empire, with its centralized power and military might, viewed the Union as a destabilizing force that threatened its authority and control. Conversely, the Union saw the Empire as an oppressive regime that stifled freedom and equality. The stage was set for a confrontation that would test the strength and resolve of both sides.

The first major battle between the Empire and the Union erupted on the planet of Andor, a strategic location rich in mineral resources. The Union had long coveted Andor, seeing it as a critical asset in their quest for economic independence and military strength. The Empire, aware of the Union’s ambitions, had fortified the planet, anticipating a confrontation. The Battle of Andor was a brutal and protracted conflict that showcased the technological prowess and tactical ingenuity of both sides.

The Union launched a surprise attack, utilizing their advanced stealth technology to bypass the Empire’s defenses. Their forces, composed of a diverse mix of ground troops, mechanized units, and starfighters, rapidly advanced across the planet’s surface. The Empire responded with a fierce counteroffensive, deploying their elite battlecruisers and ground forces to reclaim the territory. The battle raged for weeks, with neither side able to gain a decisive advantage. The Union’s guerrilla tactics and intimate knowledge of the terrain gave them a tactical edge, but the Empire’s superior firepower and logistics eventually turned the tide.

Despite their initial success, the Union suffered heavy casualties and were forced to retreat. The Battle of Andor was a significant blow to the Union’s morale and military capabilities, but it also served as a wake-up call for the Union leaders, who realized that they would need to adopt more aggressive strategies to counter the Empire’s strength.

In the aftermath of Andor, the Union shifted its focus to building a stronger military presence. They accelerated their development of advanced weapons and technology, seeking to close the gap with the Empire. The Union also sought to expand their alliances, forming new diplomatic and military pacts with neutral star systems and other factions in the galaxy. These alliances provided the Union with crucial support, both in terms of resources and manpower.

The Empire, undeterred by the Union’s retreat, continued its aggressive expansion. They launched a series of offensives aimed at key Union territories, seeking to weaken their adversary and secure their dominance. The Empire’s strategy was to fragment the Union by targeting its most vulnerable regions, hoping to divide and conquer. The Union, however, was resilient. They adapted to the Empire’s tactics, employing defensive maneuvers and guerrilla warfare to stall the Empire’s advances.

One of the key battles in this protracted conflict was the Battle of New Terra. New Terra was a strategically important planet, home to a vital spaceport and a major trade route. The Empire saw its capture as a crucial step in cutting off the Union’s supply lines and isolating their key strongholds. The Union, aware of the planet’s significance, fortified their defenses and prepared for an extended defense.

The battle was a fierce and bloody affair, with both sides pouring massive resources into the struggle. The Union’s forces, utilizing their advanced starfighters and ground troops, managed to hold the line against the Empire’s relentless assault. The Empire, employing their powerful battlecruisers and heavy artillery, launched wave after wave of attacks, but each was repelled by the Union’s determined defenders.

The stalemate at New Terra marked a turning point in the conflict. The Union’s ability to withstand the Empire’s might demonstrated their resilience and determination, while also highlighting the Empire’s difficulty in achieving a decisive victory. The battle also underscored the importance of resources and logistics in a protracted conflict, as both sides struggled to maintain their momentum.

As the conflict dragged on, both the Empire and the Union began to feel the strain. The Union, despite their resilience, faced shortages of supplies and manpower, while the Empire struggled to maintain their military campaigns without suffering significant casualties. The war began to take a toll on both economies, as resources were diverted to support the military effort.

In an effort to break the deadlock, the Union initiated a bold strategy known as the Long March. This strategy involved a massive mobilization of Union forces, moving them across the galaxy in a series of coordinated offensives aimed at key Empire-held territories. The goal was to stretch the Empire’s resources and forces to the breaking point, forcing them into a negotiated settlement.

The Empire, aware of the Union’s intentions, responded with a series of countermeasures. They reinforced their key positions and launched their own offensives to disrupt the Union’s plans. The resulting conflict became a seesaw battle, with neither side able to gain a definitive advantage.

The Battle of the Great Expanse was one of the most significant engagements in this phase of the conflict. The Great Expanse was a vast region of space, home to numerous star systems and key trade routes. The Union sought to control this region to secure their supply lines and disrupt the Empire’s logistics. The Empire, in turn, sought to reclaim the expanse and cut off the Union’s access to vital resources.

The battle was a brutal and chaotic affair, with both sides engaging in fierce combat across multiple star systems. The Union’s forces, utilizing their advanced starfighters and ground troops, managed to secure key positions in the expanse. The Empire, deploying their elite forces and powerful warships, launched a series of counterattacks in a desperate bid to reclaim control.

The stalemate in the Great Expanse highlighted the complexity and intensity of the conflict. Both the Empire and the Union were willing to fight to the last, demonstrating the deep-seated ideological and territorial disputes that fueled the war. The battle also underscored the importance of strategy and adaptability in a conflict where the stakes were nothing less than the future of the galaxy.

As the war continued, both sides began to realize that a decisive victory was unlikely. The cost of the conflict had become too high, and the prospect of a prolonged stalemate loomed large. This realization led to renewed efforts at diplomacy, with both sides exploring the possibility of a negotiated settlement.

The Battle of the Great Expanse marked a pivotal moment in the conflict. It was a testament to the resilience and determination of both the Empire and the Union, and it highlighted the complexity and depth of the ideological and territorial disputes that had driven the war. The battle also underscored the potential for a new era of cooperation and peace, as both sides began to recognize the need for a sustainable resolution to the conflict.

As the war raged on, the galaxy watched with bated breath, awaiting the outcome that would shape the future of the entire galaxy. The battle between the Galaxy Empire and the Democratic Stars Union was more than just a conflict between two powers; it was a struggle for the soul of the galaxy, a fight for the principles of freedom, equality, and unity that would define its future.

The Long March

The Long March was a monumental undertaking, a strategic masterstroke devised by the Union’s top military minds to turn the tide of the war. The plan was audacious: to mobilize a massive force and march across the galaxy, targeting key Empire-held territories in a series of coordinated offensives. The goal was to stretch the Empire’s resources to the breaking point, force them into a defensive posture, and create opportunities for the Union to negotiate from a position of strength.

The preparation for the Long March was exhaustive. The Union Assembly allocated vast resources, mobilizing every available ship, soldier, and piece of equipment. Factories worked around the clock to produce new weapons and supplies. Scientists and engineers developed innovative technologies to enhance the Union’s military capabilities. The Union’s logistics network was overhauled to ensure that the march could be sustained over vast distances.

The march began with a massive convoy of starships and ground troops, leaving the Hidden Expanse under the cover of darkness. The convoy was a sight to behold, a sprawling armada that stretched across the stars. It included everything from sleek starfighters to heavy assault ships, along with supply vessels, medical units, and support vehicles. The Union forces were well aware that this was a one-way journey; the success of the Long March depended on their ability to sustain themselves over long distances and under constant threat of attack.

As the Union convoy moved through the galaxy, they encountered numerous challenges. The first was the sheer distance they had to cover. The galaxy was vast, and each star system presented its own set of obstacles, from treacherous space lanes to hostile environments. The Union forces had to navigate through asteroid fields, avoid patrols from the Empire’s navy, and constantly monitor for any signs of an ambush.

Another major challenge was the Empire’s countermeasures. The Empire, aware of the Union’s plans, deployed their own forces to intercept the march. They launched a series of aggressive strikes aimed at disrupting the Union’s supply lines and isolating their forces. The Union, however, was prepared. They employed guerrilla tactics and hit-and-run attacks to weaken the Empire’s forces and protect their convoys.

Despite these challenges, the Union forces made significant progress. They captured several key territories, securing vital resources and establishing forward bases. Each victory boosted their morale and demonstrated their resilience and determination. The Union’s ability to sustain such a long and arduous march was a testament to their organizational skills and the dedication of their soldiers.

One of the key victories during the Long March was the capture of the planet Araxus. Araxus was a critical supply hub for the Empire, serving as a major depot for weapons, ammunition, and other essential supplies. The Union’s capture of Araxus not only deprived the Empire of a crucial resource but also disrupted their logistical chain, forcing them to divert resources to reinforce their positions.

As the Union convoy continued its march, they faced another significant challenge: the Empire’s psychological warfare. The Empire’s propaganda machine worked tirelessly to spread fear and doubt among the Union ranks. They broadcasted reports of Union casualties and claimed that the march was doomed to fail. The Union, however, had strategies in place to counter this. They utilized their own media outlets to tell their own story, highlighting their victories and the determination of their soldiers. They also employed psychological operations to undermine the Empire’s morale and create divisions within their ranks.

The Union’s progress was not without cost. The Long March took a heavy toll on their forces. Many soldiers faced the harsh realities of space travel, including the dangers of cosmic radiation and the psychological strain of constant combat. The Union’s medical teams worked tirelessly to treat the injured and keep the forces healthy, but the constant fighting and the harsh conditions took their toll.

Despite the challenges, the Union’s determination remained unshaken. They were driven by a sense of purpose and the belief that their sacrifice would bring freedom and justice to the galaxy. As they marched further into enemy territory, they were met with increasing resistance from the Empire’s forces. The battles became more intense, and the cost of each victory rose.

One of the most significant battles during the Long March was the Battle of Coridus. Coridus was a heavily fortified planet, home to a major Empire military base. The Union’s capture of Coridus would be a significant blow to the Empire’s defenses and a major boost to their morale. The battle was fierce and brutal, with both sides pouring massive resources into the struggle. The Union’s forces, utilizing their advanced technology and guerrilla tactics, managed to breach the Empire’s defenses and secure the planet.

The capture of Coridus marked a major turning point in the war. It demonstrated the Union’s ability to hold their own against the Empire’s superior forces and highlighted their resilience and determination. The victory also provided the Union with a strategic advantage, allowing them to establish a forward base and launch further offensives.

As the Long March continued, the Union forces faced increasing pressure from the Empire. The Empire, realizing the threat posed by the Union’s march, launched a series of counteroffensives aimed at stopping them. These counteroffensives were fierce and well-coordinated, but the Union was prepared. They adapted their tactics and strategies, utilizing their knowledge of the local terrain and their intimate understanding of the Empire’s weaknesses.

The Long March was a testament to the Union’s resilience and determination. It was a monumental effort that showcased their ability to sustain a long and arduous campaign against a powerful and resource-rich adversary. The march also demonstrated the Union’s commitment to their cause, their belief in the principles of freedom and equality, and their determination to bring justice to the galaxy.

As the Union forces continued their march, they were met with increasing support from other star systems. Neutrals and even some Empire-aligned systems began to see the Union’s cause as a fight for a better future. This growing support provided the Union with additional resources and manpower, strengthening their position and increasing their chances of success.

The Long March was more than just a military campaign; it was a symbol of hope and resilience. It was a testament to the Union’s belief in the possibility of a united and prosperous galaxy, free from the constraints of oppression and inequality. As the march continued, the Union remained undeterred, their eyes set on the ultimate goal: a galaxy where freedom and justice would prevail.

The Finale

The final battle unfolded across the barren landscape of the planet Xerxes, a desolate world chosen for its strategic importance and its ability to withstand the immense forces poised to clash there. The Union and the Empire had both invested everything they had into this decisive confrontation. The skies above Xerxes were a chaotic tapestry of blazing starfighters and towering battlecruisers, each side determined to claim victory at all costs.

The Union forces, led by General Lysara Voss, launched a surprise attack, utilizing their advanced stealth technology to bypass the Empire’s outer defenses. Their forces, composed of a diverse mix of starfighters, ground troops, and mechanized units, poured into the planet’s surface with a ferocity that caught the Empire off guard. The Empire, commanded by Galactic Commander Thalron Draycon, responded with a fierce counteroffensive, deploying their elite troops and powerful warships to reclaim the territory.

The initial clash was a maelstrom of destruction, with both sides unleashing their most advanced weaponry. The Union’s advanced plasma cannons and energy shields clashed with the Empire’s ion cannons and armored divisions. The ground beneath them trembled as the two forces fought for control of the key strategic locations. The Union’s guerrilla tactics and intimate knowledge of the terrain gave them a tactical advantage, but the Empire’s superior firepower and logistics gradually turned the tide.

As the battle raged on, it became clear that this would be a fight to the finish. Both sides were willing to sacrifice anything to achieve victory. The Union’s forces, driven by a sense of justice and the hope of a free galaxy, fought with unparalleled determination. The Empire’s troops, bound by their loyalty to the empire and the promise of power, fought with relentless ferocity.

In the heat of the battle, a pivotal moment occurred. Union forces managed to breach the Empire’s main command center, capturing key personnel and gaining access to sensitive information. This intelligence revealed the Empire’s plans for a final, devastating strike that could have shattered the Union’s defenses and turned the battle in their favor. With this knowledge, General Voss made a bold decision.

She ordered a strategic retreat, withdrawing her forces from the immediate area and regrouping in a hidden bunker deep within the planet’s crust. This move was risky, as it left the Empire temporarily in control of the battlefield. However, it allowed the Union to regroup, reorganize, and prepare for the Empire’s anticipated counterattack.

The Empire, emboldened by their initial success, launched a full-scale assault on the Union’s bunker. The ground shook as the Empire’s battlecruisers unleashed their most powerful weapons, attempting to crush the Union’s resistance. The Union, however, was ready. They unleashed a barrage of counterattacks, utilizing their advanced technology and guerrilla tactics to hold the line.

The battle reached its climax in a fierce confrontation at the heart of the planet. The Union and the Empire clashed in a desperate struggle for control of the planet’s central command hub. The air was thick with the sound of explosions and the roar of engines, as both sides fought with everything they had. The outcome of this battle would determine the fate of the galaxy.

In a final, desperate move, General Voss ordered a full-scale assault on the Empire’s command center. The Union forces, led by their most elite troops, launched a suicidal charge aimed at taking out the heart of the Empire’s operations. The Empire, caught off guard, was unable to mount an effective defense.

As the Union forces breached the command center, the Empire’s leadership was forced into a desperate retreat. The Union, victorious against overwhelming odds, secured the planet and celebrated their hard-won victory. The battle for Xerxes was a testament to the resilience and determination of the Union forces, their unwavering belief in the principles of freedom and justice.

The victory at Xerxes marked a turning point in the war. It was a significant blow to the Empire, forcing them into a defensive posture and leading to a gradual decline in their influence. The Union, buoyed by their victory, continued to push forward, seeking to establish a lasting peace and a new era of unity in the galaxy.

In the aftermath of the battle, both sides began to reflect on the cost of the conflict. The galaxy was left scarred by the destruction and loss of life, but also by the lessons learned and the hope for a better future. The Union and the Empire, though adversaries in battle, now faced the challenge of rebuilding a galaxy divided by years of conflict.

The victory at Xerxes set the stage for a new era of cooperation and reconciliation. The Union, with its principles of democracy and self-determination, and the Empire, with its legacy of centralized power and unity, began to explore the possibilities of a united galaxy. The road to peace was long and fraught with challenges, but the spirit of resilience and hope that had carried the Union through the war now guided the galaxy towards a brighter future.

銀河帝國的誕生

在遙遠的銀河系中，早在現代星際文明出現之前，新生的銀河帝國就已經從無數天體衝突的混亂中出現。這個不朽的帝國誕生於必要性，在生存和野心的熔爐中鍛造。它創造的種子是由不同的星系聯盟播下的，每個星系都有自己獨特的文化和技術，被一個共同的敵人聯繫在一起。

銀河帝國形成的催化劑是 Dominion 的無情攻擊，Dominion 是一個強大的外星種族，以其無情的征服和先進的軍事戰術而聞名。自治領的野心不亞於統治銀河系，他們摧毀了他們所經過的無數星系。面對滅絕，各個星系的領導者意識到，面對如此強大的對手，他們的個人努力是徒勞的。就在那時，統一戰線的理念生根發芽。

形成銀河帝國的第一步是銀河委員會，這是來自最有影響力的星系代表的盛大集會。這個委員會是在奧索爾星球的中立地召開的，奧索爾星球是一個繁華的商業和外交中心。這些星系的領導者，每個人都有自己的議程和抱負，必須擱置分歧，就統一的戰略達成一致。這並非易事，因為不信任和競爭根深蒂固。然而，自治領迫在眉睫的威脅以前所未有的方式將他們團結在一起。

銀河委員會確立了銀河帝國的基本原則。這些原則被載入 Galactic Charter 中，該檔概述了每個成員系統的權利和責任。該憲章強調合作、共同防禦以及資源和技術共用。這是星際民主的一次大胆實驗，它需要前所未有的信任和合作水準。

下一階段是銀河參議院的成立，這是一個立法機構，其任務是制定法律並確保帝國的順利運作。參議院由來自每個成員系統的代表組成，確保所有的聲音都被聽到。這個機構負責從軍事戰略到貿易法規的一切事務，其決定旨在反映帝國公民的集體意願。

拼圖的最後一塊是銀河指揮官，一個擁有巨大權力和責任的職位。第一任銀河指揮官是通過嚴格的選拔過程選出的，不僅考慮了他們的軍事實力，還考慮了他們領導和團結多元文化的能力。這位指揮官的任務是領導帝國的軍隊並確保其邊境的安全。

有了這些結構，銀河帝國開始形成。成員系統開始更緊密地合作，彙集他們的資源和知識來開發新技術和戰略。隨著貿易路線的擴大和新市場的開放，帝國的經濟蓬勃發展。文化交流變得普遍，在不同星系的公民之間培養了一種團結感和共同目標。

然而，通往團結的道路並非沒有挑戰。成員系統的多元文化和政治制度經常發生衝突，導致銀河參議院內部發生激烈辯論和偶爾的衝突。有些人質疑一個統一星系的想法，認為它扼殺了個性和自主性。但帝國的領導人仍然堅定不移地相信，團結的好處遠遠大於成本。

隨著 Galaxy Empire 的不斷發展壯大，它面臨著新的威脅和挑戰。自治領雖然被擊敗，但留下了不穩定和衝突的遺產。隨著帝國的權力和影響力的增長，它吸引了其他派系的注意，包括友好的和敵對的。但在整個過程中，銀河帝國始終站穩，其團結與合作的基礎被證明是其最大的優勢。

叛亂與逃脫

隨著銀河帝國的繁榮，它的根基開始出現裂縫。曾經在銀河憲章下團結起來的多元文化和政治制度開始顯示出緊張的跡象。不滿情緒在成員系統中醞釀，經濟差距、政治腐敗和個人自由的侵蝕助長了這種不滿情緒。銀河參議院曾經是團結的燈塔，現在卻成為利益和意識形態衝突的戰場。

點燃叛亂的火花來自塞雷納星球，這是一個繁榮的工業中心，長期以來一直感覺在帝國內部被邊緣化。塞雷納爾的領導人對缺乏代表性和權力集中在少數有影響力的星系手中感到失望，呼籲改革。他們的要求簡單而深刻：更大的自治權、更公平的資源分配和更公平的政治制度。當銀河元老院未能按照這些要求採取行動時，塞雷納宣布獨立，在整個銀河系引發了連鎖反應。

叛亂迅速蔓延到其他系統，每個系統都有自己的不滿和願望。Velyria 星球是高級科學研究中心，尋求對其智慧財產權和技術進步的更大控制權。在 Draykon 的邊境世界，居民為自治而戰，反對腐敗的地方長官的壓迫統治。這些迥然不同的起義凝聚成一場統一的反抗，由對變革的共同願望和對更美好未來可能性的信念所驅動。

帝國以無情的鎮壓作為回應，部署了強大的軍隊來鎮壓叛亂。銀河指揮官曾經是團結和希望的象徵，當他的軍隊以殘酷的效率粉碎異見時，他成為了壓迫的代言人。帝國的先進技術賦予了它巨大的優勢，但叛軍並沒有被嚇倒。他們採用遊擊戰術，利用他們對當地地形的瞭解和對帝國弱點的深入瞭解。

叛亂的第一次重大勝利發生在埃里昂星球上，叛軍在那裡進行了一次協調一致的打擊，成功地癱瘓了帝國的主要補給線。這場勝利不僅鼓舞了叛軍的士氣，也展示了他們對抗帝國優勢部隊的能力。在成功的鼓舞下，叛軍發動了一系列戰略攻勢，以關鍵的基礎設施和通信網路為目標。

儘管他們取得了初步的成功，但叛軍面臨著重大挑戰。補給稀缺，他們的部隊不斷受到反擊的威脅。帝國的宣傳機器不知疲倦地工作，將叛軍描繪成恐怖分子和叛徒，在銀河系的人口中播下懷疑和恐懼的種子。此外，銀河元老院仍然存在分歧，一些成員與帝國秘密談判，而另一些成員則繼續支援叛亂。

為了扭轉局勢，帝國發動了針對叛亂核心的全面攻勢。塞雷納爾戰役是一場殘酷的衝突，帝國部署了最先進的戰艦和精銳部隊。然而，叛軍已經做好了準備。他們利用遊擊戰術和創新技術的結合，成功地守住了自己的陣地，甚至給帝國的軍隊造成了重大傷亡。

隨著戰鬥的進行，很明顯帝國的蠻力戰略正在失敗。叛軍領導人意識到曠日持久的衝突只會導致進一步的破壞，因此做出了一個大胆的決定。他們發起了一場大規模的撤離行動，將他們的部隊和關鍵人員轉移到銀河系深處的一個隱藏避難所。這個避難所被稱為隱秘的蒼穹，是一個由未知星系組成的網路，為帝國提供了避風港。

這次逃跑是一場後勤噩夢，需要精確的協調和出其不意的元素。叛軍設法將他們最寶貴的資產，包括先進的技術、重要檔和很大一部分人口，運送到隱秘的蒼穹。手術很成功，但代價很高。許多叛軍在此過程中喪生，剩餘的部隊被迫躲藏起來。

逃跑后，叛軍首領在 Hidden Expanse 重新集結，決心重建和重組。他們建立了一個臨時政府，稱為叛軍委員會，以監督向新治理形式的過渡。這個新政府基於民主和自決的原則，旨在創建一個真正代表所有公民的社會。

叛軍逃到隱秘的蒼穹，標誌著銀河系歷史新篇章的開始。這證明瞭叛軍的韌性和決心，他們拒絕被噤聲或鎮壓。在他們努力建立新社會的同時，他們也開始為未來與銀河帝國的對抗奠定基礎，決心為他們的自由和自治權而戰。

民主之星聯盟成立

在他們大膽地逃到隱秘的蒼穹之後，叛軍領袖們知道重建他們的社會並不容易。挑戰是巨大的：他們必須建立一個有效的政府，確保人民的安全和福祉，併為與銀河帝國不可避免的對抗做好準備。然而，他們決心創造一種植根於民主和自決的新治理模式。

首要任務是建立一個臨時政府，可以有效地代表新成立的民主之星聯盟的不同利益。反抗軍議會最初由主要反抗軍派系的領導人組成，後來擴大到包括來自隱秘蒼穹內各個星系的代表。這種包容性的方法對於確保所有聲音都被聽到以及新政府反映其公民的集體意願至關重要。

民主之星聯盟的核心原則被載入《聯盟憲章》。這份檔概述了公民的權利和責任、政府的結構以及指導他們與其他星系互動的原則。《聯邦憲章》強調了民主、平等和法治的重要性。它還呼籲保護個人自由並促進科學和文化進步。

基本原則到位后，下一步是建立聯盟的立法和行政部門。聯盟大會是作為立法機構成立的，由每個成員系統的代表組成。該議會負責制定法律、批准預算和監督政策的實施。聯邦主席擔任行政部門的負責人，負責執行法律，代表聯邦進行星際外交，並領導聯邦的軍隊。

聯邦議會很快就開始工作，通過了一系列旨在建立公平公正社會的法律。這些法律包括確保平等代表權、保護公民自由和促進經濟發展的措施。最重要的法律之一是《資源分配法》，該法旨在解決助長叛亂的經濟差距。該法案要求公平分配資源並建立有利於所有成員系統的貿易協定。

為了確保新政府的穩定性和有效性，聯邦議會還建立了司法系統。該系統旨在維護法治、保護個人權利並解決會員系統之間的爭議。聯邦最高法院由來自各個星系的獨立法官組成，其任務是解釋《聯邦憲章》並確保所有法律都符合其原則。

除了建立一個有效的政府外，聯盟領導人還專注於建立強大的經濟和基礎設施。他們發起了許多項目來開發 Hidden Expanse 的自然資源、改善交通網路和建立新工業。這些努力對於提供就業機會和穩定聯邦經濟至關重要。

文化交流和教育也得到了優先考慮。Union Assembly 建立了一個由學校和大學組成的網路，以促進科學研究、技術創新和藝術。這些機構成為學習和文化交流的中心，在聯盟公民之間培養了團結感和共同目標。

隨著民主星聯盟的不斷發展壯大，它也開始觸及銀河系中的其他星系。聯邦領導人明白，建立聯盟和培養外交關係對於他們與銀河帝國的持續鬥爭至關重要。他們向鄰近的星系發起了外交任務，提出了《聯邦憲章》並尋求對他們事業的支援。

這些外交努力引起了不同的反應。一些星系對聯邦持謹慎態度，擔心這會導致進一步的衝突。然而，其他人受到聯盟民主和自決原則的啟發，並表示支援。這些聯盟為聯邦提供了重要的資源和軍事援助，鞏固了其在面對帝國威脅時的地位。

民主之星聯盟的成立標誌著銀河系歷史上的一個重要轉捩點。它代表了一種新的治理模式，一種優先考慮公民的權利和自由，並尋求建立一個更加公正和公平的社會的治理模式。隨著聯邦的不斷發展，它為銀河系衝突與合作的新時代奠定了基礎，聯邦和銀河帝國準備進行一場將塑造整個銀河系未來的對抗。

第三勢力的崛起

隨著民主星際聯盟鞏固其基礎，銀河系內部開始出現一股新力量—一個將挑戰銀河帝國和聯盟既定秩序的第三勢力。這個被稱為星際團結運動（IUM）的第三勢力是一個由不同星系和個人組成的聯盟，他們認為現有的政治結構不足以應對銀河系的複雜挑戰。IUM 的願景是創造一種新的治理形式，超越帝國和民主的限制，專注於經濟合作、技術進步和星際統一。

IUM 的起源可以追溯到一系列經濟危機，這些危機一直困擾著銀河帝國內外的各種星系。這些危機因資源分配不均和銀河系不同地區之間存在的經濟差距而加劇。IUM 在對當前治理和經濟體系的廣泛不滿中看到了機會。他們提出了一種新的模式，將貿易和經濟合作置於政治和軍事主導地位之上。

IUM 平臺的基石是銀河聯盟（GTU）的建立，這是一個星際經濟組織，旨在促進成員系統之間的自由貿易、資源分享和技術交流。GTU 旨在創建一個平衡公平的經濟體系，使所有參與的星系受益。為了實現這一目標，IUM 發起了一系列外交任務，尋求在整個銀河系招募新成員並建立聯盟。

IUM 的崛起是由戰略外交和草根激進主義相結合推動的。他們利用先進的宣傳技術來傳播他們的資訊，利用媒體和通信網路來接觸廣泛的受眾。他們的競選活動強調經濟合作的好處以及不受政治衝突限制的繁榮未來的潛力。這種方法引起了許多在經濟上苦苦掙扎或感覺被現有大國邊緣化的星系的共鳴。

IUM 崛起的關鍵人物之一是 Lysara Voss，她是一位來自 Zephyr 星球的魅力非凡的領導者和經濟學家。Voss 是一位有遠見的人，他相信只有通過合作和互惠互利才能實現真正的進步。在她的領導下，IUM 獲得了巨大的關注，尤其是在經濟上處於不利地位或感到受到帝國或聯邦壓迫的星系中。Voss 激發和動員對 IUM 事業的支援的能力在其快速擴張中發揮了至關重要的作用。

隨著越來越多的星系加入銀河聯盟，IUM 的影響力穩步增長。這些新成員帶來了豐富的資源、技術和專業知識，進一步鞏固了 GTU 的地位。GTU 建立了前所未有的貿易路線和經濟夥伴關係，創造了一個新的星際商業網路，開始與帝國和聯邦的影響力相媲美。

然而，IUM 的崛起也引起了帝國和聯盟的注意，它們都將 GTU 視為對其統治地位的威脅。尤其是帝國，它擔心 GTU 可能會破壞其對銀河系資源和貿易的控制。另一方面，聯盟將 IUM 對經濟合作的重視視為對其民主理想和政治結構的挑戰。

作為回應，帝國和聯邦都加大了對抗IUM影響力的努力。帝國發動了一系列軍事行動，旨在鎮壓叛亂並阻止IUM思想的傳播。與此同時，國際電聯加強了外交努力，試圖孤立 IUM 並阻止其獲得進一步的支援。

儘管存在這些挑戰，IUM 和 GTU 仍在繼續發展和適應。他們制定了新的戰略和聯盟，利用他們的經濟實力和技術專長來維持自己的地位。IUM 對合作和互利的重視與許多星系產生了共鳴，其關於團結和繁榮星系的信息開始受到關注。

隨著 IUM 和 GTU 鞏固了他們的地位，他們開始為銀河系的新政治和經濟秩序奠定基礎。他們對建立在合作和共用繁榮基礎上的星際社區的願景為現有的帝國和民主制度提供了一個令人信服的替代方案。IUM 和 GTU的崛起標誌著銀河系政治格局的重大轉變，為塑造整個銀河系未來的衝突與合作新時代奠定了基礎。

銀河帝國與民主之星聯盟之戰

隨著銀河帝國和民主之星聯盟之間的緊張局勢達到沸點，這場不可避免的衝突註定要重塑銀河系的未來。這場衝突的根本原因是多方面的，植根於意識形態差異、領土爭端和資源爭奪。帝國擁有中央集權和軍事實力，將聯邦視為威脅其權威和控制的不穩定力量。相反，聯邦將帝國視為一個扼殺自由和平等的壓迫性政權。這場對峙的舞臺將考驗雙方的實力和決心。

帝國與聯邦之間的第一場重大戰役在安多星球爆發，這是一個礦產資源豐富的戰略要地。聯邦長期以來一直覬覦安多爾，將其視為他們尋求經濟獨立和軍事實力的關鍵資產。帝國意識到聯邦的野心，已經加固了這個星球，預料到會有一場對抗。安多爾戰役是一場殘酷而持久的衝突，展示了雙方的技術實力和戰術獨創性。

聯邦發動了一次突然襲擊，利用他們先進的隱身技術繞過了帝國的防禦。他們的部隊由地面部隊、機械化部隊和星際戰鬥機組成，迅速穿越地球表面。帝國以激烈的反攻作為回應，部署他們的精銳戰列巡洋艦和地面部隊來收復領土。戰鬥持續了數周，雙方都無法獲得決定性的優勢。聯邦的遊擊戰術和對地形的深入瞭解使他們在戰術上佔據優勢，但帝國優越的火力和後勤最終扭轉了局勢。

儘管取得了初步成功，但聯盟傷亡慘重，被迫撤退。安多爾戰役對聯邦的士氣和軍事能力造成了重大打擊，但它也為聯邦領導人敲響了警鐘，他們意識到他們需要採取更激進的戰略來對抗帝國的實力。

在 Andor 事件之後，聯邦將重點轉移到建立更強大的軍事存在上。他們加速了先進武器和技術的開發，試圖縮小與帝國的差距。聯盟還尋求擴大他們的聯盟，與中立星系和銀河系中的其他派系達成新的外交和軍事條約。這些聯盟為聯盟在資源和人力方面提供了至關重要的支援。

帝國並沒有被聯邦的撤退嚇倒，繼續其激進的擴張。他們針對聯邦的關鍵領土發動了一系列攻勢，試圖削弱對手並確保他們的統治地位。帝國的戰略是通過瞄準聯邦最脆弱的地區來分裂聯邦，希望分而治之。然而，聯盟是有彈性的。他們適應了帝國的戰術，採用防禦機動和遊擊戰來阻止帝國的前進。

這場曠日持久的衝突中的關鍵戰役之一是新泰拉戰役。新泰拉是一顆具有重要戰略意義的星球，是重要的太空港和主要貿易路線的所在地。帝國將其佔領視為切斷聯邦補給線和孤立其關鍵據點的關鍵一步。聯邦意識到這顆行星的重要性，加強了他們的防禦，併為擴展防禦做準備。

這場戰鬥是一場激烈而血腥的戰鬥，雙方都投入了大量資源進行鬥爭。聯邦的軍隊利用他們先進的星際戰鬥機和地面部隊，成功地守住了帝國無情的攻擊。帝國使用他們強大的戰列巡洋艦和重型火炮，發動了一波又一波的攻擊，但每一次都被聯邦堅定的守軍擊退。

New Terra 的僵局標誌著衝突的轉捩點。聯邦抵禦帝國強權的能力展示了他們的韌性和決心，同時也凸顯了帝國取得決定性勝利的難度。這場戰鬥還凸顯了資源和後勤在曠日持久的衝突中的重要性，因為雙方都在努力保持勢頭。

隨著衝突的拖延，帝國和聯邦都開始感受到壓力。聯邦儘管堅韌不拔，但面臨物資和人力短缺，而帝國則努力維持他們的軍事行動而不會遭受重大傷亡。戰爭開始對兩個經濟體造成損失，因為資源被轉移到支援軍事努力。

為了打破僵局，聯盟發起了一項被稱為長征的大胆戰略。這一戰略涉及大規模動員聯邦軍隊，在一系列針對帝國控制的關鍵領土的協同進攻中將他們轉移到銀河系中。目標是將帝國的資源和力量延伸到崩潰的邊緣，迫使他們通過談判達成和解。

帝國意識到聯邦的意圖，採取了一系列對策作為回應。他們加強了自己的關鍵陣地，併發起了自己的攻勢來破壞聯邦的計劃。由此產生的衝突變成了一場拉鋸戰，雙方都無法獲得決定性的優勢。

大蒼穹之戰是這一階段衝突中最重要的交戰之一。大蒼穹是一片廣闊的太空區域，是眾多星系和主要貿易路線的所在地。聯邦試圖控制該地區以確保他們的補給線並擾亂帝國的物流。反過來，帝國試圖收復這片廣闊的土地，並切斷聯邦獲得重要資源的途徑。

這場戰鬥是一場殘酷而混亂的比賽，雙方在多個星系之間展開了激烈的戰鬥。聯邦的部隊利用他們先進的星際戰鬥機和地面部隊，設法在廣闊的土地上確保了關鍵位置。帝國部署了他們的精銳部隊和強大的戰艦，發動了一系列反擊，不顧一切地試圖奪回控制權。

“大蒼穹”的僵局凸顯了衝突的複雜性和強度。帝國和聯邦都願意戰鬥到最後一刻，這表明瞭助長戰爭的根深蒂固的意識形態和領土爭端。這場戰鬥還強調了策略和適應性在衝突中的重要性，因為這場衝突的賭注不亞於銀河系的未來。

隨著戰爭的繼續，雙方都開始意識到決定性的勝利是不可能的。衝突的代價已經變得太高了，長期僵局的可能性越來越大。這一認識導致了外交努力的新一輪努力，雙方都在探索通過談判解決的可能性。

大蒼穹之戰標誌著衝突的關鍵時刻。它證明瞭帝國和聯邦的韌性和決心，並凸顯了導致戰爭的意識形態和領土爭端的複雜性和深度。這場戰鬥還突顯了合作與和平新時代的潛力，因為雙方都開始認識到可持續解決衝突的必要性。

隨著戰爭的肆虐，銀河系屏息凝視，等待著塑造整個銀河系未來的結果。銀河帝國和民主星星聯盟之間的戰鬥不僅僅是兩個大國之間的衝突;這是一場為銀河系靈魂而戰的鬥爭，一場為自由、平等和團結的原則而戰，這些原則將定義銀河系的未來。

長征

長征是一項不朽的事業，是聯邦最高軍事頭腦為扭轉戰爭局勢而制定的戰略傑作。這個計劃很大膽：動員一支龐大的部隊，穿越銀河系，在一系列協調一致的攻勢中瞄準帝國控制的關鍵領土。目標是將帝國的資源拉到崩潰的邊緣，迫使他們進入防禦姿態，併為聯邦創造從實力地位進行談判的機會。

長征的準備工作是詳盡無遺的。聯邦議會分配了大量資源，動員了所有可用的船隻、士兵和設備。工廠夜以繼日地工作，生產新的武器和補給品。科學家和工程師開發了創新技術，以增強聯邦的軍事能力。聯邦的後勤網路進行了全面改革，以確保行軍能夠持續很長的距離。

行軍以龐大的星艦和地面部隊車隊開始，在黑暗的掩護下離開了隱秘的蒼穹。車隊是一個值得一看的景象，一支橫跨星際的龐大艦隊。它包括從時尚的星際戰鬥機到重型突擊艦，以及補給船、醫療單位和支援車輛的一切。聯邦軍隊很清楚這是一段單向的旅程;長征的成功取決於他們能否在長距離和不斷的攻擊威脅下維持自己的生存。

當聯邦車隊穿越銀河系時，他們遇到了許多挑戰。首先是他們必須走過的絕對距離。銀河系浩瀚無垠，每個星系都有自己的障礙，從險惡的太空通道到惡劣的環境。聯邦軍隊必須在小行星帶中航行，避開帝國海軍的巡邏，並不斷監視任何伏擊的跡象。

另一個主要挑戰是帝國的對策。帝國知道聯邦的計劃，部署了自己的部隊來攔截行軍。他們發動了一系列激進的襲擊，旨在破壞聯邦的補給線並孤立他們的部隊。然而，聯盟已經做好了準備。他們採用遊擊戰術和打了就跑的攻擊來削弱帝國的軍隊並保護他們的車隊。

儘管存在這些挑戰，聯邦軍隊還是取得了重大進展。他們佔領了幾個關鍵領土，獲得了重要資源並建立了前沿基地。每一次勝利都鼓舞了他們的士氣，展示了他們的韌性和決心。聯邦能夠維持如此漫長而艱苦的行軍，證明瞭他們的組織能力和士兵的奉獻精神。

長征期間的關鍵勝利之一是佔領了阿拉索斯星球。阿拉克索斯是帝國的重要補給中心，是武器、彈藥和其他必需品的主要倉庫。聯盟對阿拉克索斯的佔領不僅剝奪了帝國的關鍵資源，還擾亂了他們的後勤鏈，迫使他們轉移資源來鞏固自己的地位。

隨著聯邦車隊繼續前進，他們面臨著另一個重大挑戰：帝國的心理戰。帝國的宣傳機器不知疲倦地在聯邦軍隊中傳播恐懼和懷疑。他們廣播了聯邦傷亡的報告，並聲稱遊行註定要失敗。然而，聯盟已經制定了應對這一問題的戰略。他們利用自己的媒體講述自己的故事，突出他們的勝利和士兵的決心。他們還採用心理行動來破壞帝國的士氣並在他們的隊伍中製造分裂。

聯盟的進步並非沒有代價。長征對他們的部隊造成了沉重的損失。許多士兵面臨著太空旅行的嚴酷現實，包括宇宙輻射的危險和持續戰鬥的心理壓力。聯盟的醫療隊不知疲倦地工作，救治傷患並保持部隊健康，但持續的戰鬥和惡劣的條件讓他們付出了代價。

儘管面臨挑戰，但聯盟的決心仍然沒有動搖。他們被一種使命感和信念所驅使，即他們的犧牲將為銀河系帶來自由和正義。隨著他們進一步進入敵方領土，他們遇到了來自帝國軍隊的越來越大的抵抗。戰鬥變得更加激烈，每次勝利的代價都在增加。

長征期間最重要的戰役之一是科里杜斯戰役。科里杜斯是一個戒備森嚴的星球，是帝國主要軍事基地的所在地。聯邦佔領科里杜斯將是對帝國防禦的重大打擊，也是對他們士氣的重大鼓舞。這場戰鬥激烈而殘酷，雙方都投入了大量資源投入到這場鬥爭中。聯邦的軍隊利用他們先進的技術和遊擊戰術，成功突破了帝國的防禦並保護了地球。

科里杜斯的被俘標誌著戰爭的重大轉捩點。它展示了聯邦對抗帝國優勢部隊的能力，並突出了他們的韌性和決心。這場勝利還為聯邦提供了戰略優勢，使他們能夠建立前沿基地併發起進一步的攻勢。

隨著長征的繼續，聯邦軍隊面臨著來自帝國的越來越大的壓力。帝國意識到聯邦行軍構成的威脅，發動了一系列旨在阻止他們的反攻。這些反攻既激烈又協調一致，但聯邦已經做好了準備。他們利用對當地地形的瞭解和對帝國弱點的深入瞭解，調整了自己的戰術和策略。

長征證明了聯盟的韌性和決心。這是一項巨大的努力，展示了他們能夠與強大且資源豐富的對手進行長期而艱苦的戰鬥的能力。這次遊行還表明了聯邦對他們事業的承諾，他們對自由和平等原則的信念，以及他們為銀河系伸張正義的決心。

隨著聯邦軍隊繼續行軍，他們得到了來自其他星系的越來越多的支援。中立派甚至一些與帝國結盟的體系開始將聯邦的事業視為為更美好的未來而戰。這種不斷增長的支援為聯盟提供了額外的資源和人力，鞏固了他們的地位並增加了他們成功的機會。

長征不僅僅是一場軍事行動;它是希望和韌性的象徵。它證明瞭聯邦的信念，即一個團結而繁榮的銀河系有可能擺脫壓迫和不平等的約束。隨著遊行的繼續，聯邦並沒有被嚇倒，他們的目光投向了最終目標：一個自由和正義占上風的銀河系。

結局

最後的戰鬥在薛西斯星球的貧瘠土地上展開，這是一個荒涼的世界，因其戰略重要性和抵禦準備在那裡發生衝突的巨大力量的能力而被選中。聯邦和帝國都為這場決定性的對抗投入了他們所擁有的一切。薛西斯上空是一幅混亂的掛毯，由熾熱的星際戰鬥機和高聳的戰列巡洋艦組成，每一方都決心不惜一切代價取得勝利。

由萊薩拉·沃斯將軍率領的聯邦軍隊發動了一次突然襲擊，利用他們先進的隱身技術繞過了帝國的外部防禦。他們的部隊由星際戰鬥機、地面部隊和機械化部隊組成，以讓帝國措手不及的兇猛湧入行星表面。由銀河指揮官 Thalron Draycon 指揮的帝國以激烈的反攻作為回應，部署了他們的精銳部隊和強大的戰艦來收復領土。

最初的衝突是一場毀滅性的漩渦，雙方都釋放了他們最先進的武器。聯邦的先進等離子炮和能量護盾與帝國的離子炮和裝甲師發生了衝突。他們腳下的地面在顫抖，兩股力量爭奪關鍵戰略要地的控制權。聯邦的遊擊戰術和對地形的深入瞭解使他們獲得了戰術優勢，但帝國的優勢火力和後勤逐漸扭轉了局勢。

隨著戰鬥的進行，很明顯這將是一場戰鬥到最後。雙方都願意犧牲一切來取得勝利。聯邦軍隊在正義感和自由銀河系希望的驅使下，以無與倫比的決心進行戰鬥。帝國的軍隊被他們對帝國的忠誠和權力的承諾所束縛，以無情的兇猛戰鬥。

在激烈的戰鬥中，一個關鍵時刻發生了。聯邦軍隊設法突破了帝國的主要指揮中心，俘虜了關鍵人員並獲得了敏感資訊。這些情報揭示了帝國進行最後毀滅性打擊的計劃，這可能會粉碎聯邦的防禦並使戰鬥對他們有利。有了這些知識，沃斯將軍做出了一個大胆的決定。

她下令戰略性撤退，從附近地區撤出部隊，並在行星地殼深處的一個隱藏掩體中重新集結。這一舉動是有風險的，因為它讓帝國暫時控制了戰場。然而，它允許聯邦重新集結、重組併為帝國預期的反擊做準備。

帝國受到他們初步成功的鼓舞，對聯邦的地堡發動了全面進攻。當帝國的戰列巡洋艦釋放出他們最強大的武器，試圖粉碎聯邦的抵抗時，大地震動了。然而，聯盟已經準備好了。他們發動了一連串的反擊，利用他們先進的技術和遊擊戰術守住了防線。

這場戰鬥在地球中心的激烈對抗中達到高潮。聯邦和帝國在爭奪地球中央指揮中心的控制權的絕望鬥爭中發生衝突。空氣中瀰漫著爆炸聲和發動機的轟鳴聲，雙方都在用他們所擁有的一切進行戰鬥。這場戰鬥的結果將決定銀河系的命運。

在最後的絕望舉動中，沃斯將軍下令對帝國的指揮中心發動全面進攻。聯邦軍隊在他們最精銳的部隊的帶領下，發動了一場自殺式的衝鋒，旨在摧毀帝國行動的核心。帝國措手不及，無法進行有效的防禦。

隨著聯邦軍隊突破指揮中心，帝國的領導層被迫絕望地撤退。聯邦克服了壓倒性的勝利，保護了地球並慶祝他們來之不易的勝利。薛西斯之戰證明了聯邦軍隊的韌性和決心，以及他們對自由和正義原則的堅定信念。

薛西斯的勝利標誌著戰爭的轉捩點。這對帝國來說是一個重大打擊，迫使他們採取防禦姿態，導致他們的影響力逐漸下降。聯邦在勝利的鼓舞下繼續前進，尋求在銀河系建立持久的和平和團結的新時代。

戰鬥結束后，雙方都開始反思衝突的代價。銀河系因毀滅和生命的喪失而傷痕纍纍，但也因吸取的教訓和對更美好未來的希望而留下傷痕。聯邦和帝國雖然在戰爭中是對手，但現在面臨著重建一個因多年衝突而分裂的銀河系的挑戰。

薛西斯的勝利為合作與和解的新時代奠定了基礎。擁有民主和自決原則的聯邦，以及擁有中央集權和團結傳統的帝國，開始探索統一星系的可能性。通往和平的道路漫長而充滿挑戰，但帶領聯邦度過戰爭的堅韌和希望的精神現在引導銀河系走向更光明的未來。
