ALLIANCE OF NATIVE TRIBES
Overview
The Alliance of Native Tribes was a historic coalition of the four natives tribes in the Eastern Equatorial Section of VOI 700 D’s Habitual Belt, formed during the Great War (2629–2631) in response to ExoHuman expansion.
Spearheaded by the Honga, the largest and most nomadic tribe, this unprecedented alliance marked the first instance of sustained intertribal military collaboration beyond the ceremonial cooperation seen in the Lakira Shime. The alliance became a symbol of the Native Tribes’ unity and determination to protect their lands and traditions.
Historical Context
The ExoHumans’ crash landing in 2625 disrupted the delicate balance of VOI 700 D’s ecosystems. Stripped of most of their advanced technology, ExoHumans sought to implement the Human Settlement Plan (HSP), which necessitated resource extraction and infrastructure development. This expansion clashed with Native values that regarded the planet’s resources as sacred communal property.
The Honga Tribe, with their extensive interactions with ExoHumans, initiated the call for a Great Council after ExoHumans ignored an ultimatum to halt their destructive activities. The council unified the Honga, Trando, Senti, and Orlanda tribes, collectively raising an army of 100,000 warriors to confront the settlers.
Key Participants in the Alliance
Honga Tribe
- Contribution: 50,000 warriors, leadership of the alliance.
- Role: Coordinated strategies and provided logistical support, leveraging their deep understanding of the terrain.
Trando Tribe
- Contribution: 30,000 warriors.
- Role: Experts in ambush tactics, particularly in forested and swampy regions.
Senti Tribe
- Contribution: 15,000 warriors.
- Role: Masters of long-range engagements using precision weapons like the Senti Hunting Bow.
Orlanda Tribe
- Contribution: 5,000 warriors.
- Role: Specialists in guerrilla tactics in the Orlanda Swamps, using venom-coated Orlanda Spears.
Physical Superiority of Natives
The Alliance benefited from the Natives’ inherent physical advantages over ExoHumans:
- Height: Averaging 2.20 meters or more, they physically dominated human adversaries.
- Adaptations: Their color-changing skin and seasonal physiology allowed them to blend seamlessly with their surroundings and communicate non-verbally.
- Sensory Abilities: With four eyes and multiple nostrils, Natives had exceptional vision, olfactory capabilities, and environmental awareness.
- Strength and Stamina: Muscular builds and specialized organs for sensing vibrations enhanced their prowess in both combat and survival.
The End of the Great War and Dismantle of the Alliance
The Native Alliance reached its peak during the final phase of the Great War in early 2631. Following the destruction of the ExoHumans' solar sails by the Anti-War Movement and the subsequent depletion of the Volunteer Army of Man's energy reserves, the ExoHumans formally surrendered unconditionally on April 8, 2631.
The signing of the Peace Treaty later that year formalized the dismantling of the Alliance. The treaty declared ExoHumans as “guests” on VOI 700 D and established Article 6, requiring Native oversight of ExoHuman behavior to ensure compliance with the treaty's provisions. The alliance transitioned into a more structured supervisory role led by the Honga Tribe.
The Native ExoHuman Behavior Supervision Program replaced the Alliance as the primary mechanism for ensuring the preservation of VOI 700 D's ecosystems and the cultural values of its tribes. The Honga, as the largest and most influential tribe, accepted the responsibility of appointing the Permanent Supervisor, a role that has since shaped interspecies relations during the Gamma Age.
Legacy
The Native Alliance disbanded following the Great War, but its influence endures in the Gamma Age, primarily through the Native ExoHuman Behavior Supervision Program, established under Article 6 of the Peace Treaty.
The Native Alliance remains a divisive topic:
- Among Natives: The alliance is celebrated as a powerful symbol of unity but criticized by some tribes for amplifying Honga cultural hegemony.
- Among ExoHumans: The political Party of the Individualists reject the alliance’s role in enforcing the Peace Treaty, arguing it perpetuates ExoHuman subjugation, while the Communard's Party sees it as a necessary measure to build a collaborative future.
The Native Alliance’s formation and actions underscore the stark cultural and ideological divide that continues to shape relations between Natives and ExoHumans, defining the post-war landscape of VOI 700 D.
