New Kalikán Empire
The New Kalikán Empire, 2537 to 2576, arose from the conquests of Khabur (2529 to 2536). Improvements in skycraft technology enabled the more prolific manufacture of lighter, more mobile, and longer ranged vessels of the sky. Additionally, the invention and use of the aerobarge enabled the transportation of troops and materiel in the foothills of the Jaggudorns and eventually elsewhere in the Thracian Empire. The term 'New Kalikán Empire' was popularly employed at home and abroad as a resurgence in the ethnic nationalism of the Kalikán people of Thrace. It is the last powerful period of Kalikán up to the present time. The Kalikán allied with the Geddamin and created the basis for a powerful animus against them in the hearts and minds of other human nations, leading to the Reduction of Thrace.
Like Vankkagomir and Khabur before, the true rulers of the Kalikán were the military and the king served only as a religious and cultural figurehead who was held in great reverence.
In addition to defeat and occupation, Thrace suffered civil war that nearly had the royal family executed and saw the execution and exile of several military rulers.
