Really loving these stories, so yeah - please post more!
Very well, then. Here are the histories of Bli and Thtiu:
Bli:
Bli is about as close as you can get to "normal" in the eskel system. Out of the four moons, it has, by far, the most pleasing climate when compared to Thtiu's scorching equatorial desert, or Nara's hellish hurricanes. On Bli, nothing held humanity back from thriving--with the only exception being humanity itself. Though a beautiful world, Bli's history is scarred by numerous and fierce global conflicts. Fractured into seven equally-powered nations, there was never a lack of tension between them--and every hundred or so years, that tension would snap back in the form of a war. The reasons for conflict varied. Sometimes it was resources. Sometimes it was religion. Sometimes it was a sadistic method of decreasing the size of a nation's population. Bli, as a whole, had the chance to surpass its neighboring moons by a few hundred years--something it failed at miserably due to blasting decades of human development away with each subsequent war. Conflict ceased when the gas giant system was opened up to them through the advent of space travel. The seven nations took their eyes off of each other, and set them on their "naive", "primitive" and "culturally backwards" neighbors.
Thtiu:
Thtiu is virtually the exact opposite of Esk: its landmasses are all centered around its equator, meaning most of the land is baked in extreme heat. Because of this, a massive equatorial desert wraps around the middle of the planet. Being the only moon with oceans of salt water, drinkable water is considered a very valuable resource by its inhabitants--so valuable, in fact, that its value allowed a single, small national entity to subvert the entire world. The Thennus Feri corporation invented the technology necessary for extremely cheap and effective water distillation. Populations subsequently boomed, as water could now be easily distributed throughout the moon without fear of major shortages. Once the population surpassed eight billion, every human being in every nation on Thtiu relied on Thennus Feri for their lives--and this was a widely known fact. Thiiei--a small, but extremely militant nation on the edge of the desert took a very deep interest in this. Control the water, control the world. It only took five years to accomplish. Thiiei stormed the Thennus Feri headquarters, where they proceeded to remotely deactivate every distillation plant on Thtiu--except for their own, of course. Though the counter-attacks were brutal, they managed to hold out long enough for the lack of water to completely stop enemy armies in their tracks. One by one, the weaker, desert-bound nations ceded themselves to Thiiei as their populations rioted and died off from dehydration. The stronger nations held, but after the end of five years, Thiiei controlled approximately 90% of Thtiu. They ceded their nations after intense negotiating--the end result was a ruling council of five individuals that had absolute power over the moon. (loosely) United, Thtiu focused all of its efforts on getting itself into orbit, with the sole goal of taking everything above it for itself.
Thought the Thiians were the good guys, huh? Nope. Good guys don't exist in this universe. Only profiteering mass-murderers, warmongers, fascists and elitists.
Warms your heart, doesn't it?
