Third Age of the Vaikan

The Third Age of the Vaikan marks the invention of the electrical battery. This age also is known as the Imperial Age. It is currently the shortest official age, only lasting 1,500 years.

Invention of the battery
The invention of the battery proved to be one of the most revolutionizing discoveries in Vaikan history. The battery, when combined with a Vaikan's natural ability to produce electricity, allowed for many powerful technologies to be derived from it. It gave many civilizations the edge over others when they used electrical weaponry against their medieval opponents.

Urbanization period
With the rising use of electric power, large scale cities were being built powered by dams. The region of Spason entered an industrial revolution and steam power became mainstream. As these cities expanded, many Vaikan sought to sail across the seas to build colonies.

Rise of the Yallvusian Union
As cities became larger and larger, the steam engine would eventually be invented resulting in rapid transport between cities. Information spread more rapidly, and a new power known as the Altus Dynasty rose to dominance, conquering the rail network. The new capital was New Yallvus, a mechanized city built outside of the older, stone ruins of the original Yallvus.

The Yallvusian Union had conquered much of the vast desert known as the Great Sculpting Field becoming the largest superpower of the Third Age.

Invention of mechs
The Yallvusian Union grew to more power with the invention of mech suits and robots. They became the analogue of automobiles and became a form of personal transport. These robots were battery powered so they required plenty of recharging.

Fossil fuels
Two hundred years later, fossil fuels became a new source of energy which Yallvus had much control over. This source of oil became largely secondary due to how interconnected city's were built. Largely, they are used to produce electricity.

Intercontinental War
A continental war occurred all throughout Ucharpli. It is known as one of the most devastating wars resulting in a massive economic depression.

Reign of Altus Banya
Near the end of this age, a powerful dictator named Altus Banya rose to power shortly after the end of a global, catastrophic war that left the nation of Yallvus in an economic depression. Using his charisma and intelligence, he charmed the public into believing that he was their shining figure of hope. Banya himself viewed the Yallvusian people as the supreme race and eventually managed to conquer the world, forming a single, global superpower. He created a totalitarian state, enforcing his rule through fear.

During this time, Banya did serious research into methods of space travel. Today, most historians incorrectly attribute who the first individual in space was. Banya sent some criminals on death row to the red moon on a large rocket. The oxygen systems failed shortly after breaching Ucharpli's atmosphere.
