Janus 3 (codenamed Mission Thunder) was the third crewed trans-newtonian space mission overseen by the United Nations Space Command, and the first mission of the program meant to reach Jovian orbit. The spacecraft Philistia 2-23 departed from Stockwell Space Station on XXXX, successfully crossed the Asteroid belt and orbited through multiple Jovian moons, and made the first human landing on Io in XXXX.[1]

After succcessfully transmitting valuable scientific data back to Earth, the spacecraft and its crew departed back in XXXX. During its second crossing of the Kuiper belt, around 300 thousand kilomoters away from Earth, one of the two onboard Sorium Thermal Engines suffered a catastrophic failure, and had to be shutdown to prevent a meltdown. The second engine was discovered to have a similar potential malfunction, but the crew decided to keep the engine running until they left the Kuiper belt. At XXXX, the second engine underwent a meltdown, and exploded. The crew was forced to evacuate into stationary escape capsules for 19 days, before oxygen was depleted. By the time rescue arrived, all of the crew aboard had perished.

The consequences of Janus 3's failure reverberated on the space exploration community, and the subsequent Philistia Crisis saw withdrawal of the Eurasian Space Agency from the Janus program and a second break in relations between the Eurasian bloc and the West. Some historians consider this the start of the Third Space Race.


The mission was funded by incentives from the North American Space Agency (NASA), the European Space Command (EUSCOM), the South American Sideral Group (SASG/GSSA), between others.

The Italian Federation was a loose federacy of italian states created following the surrender of the Kingdom of Italy to the Central Powers during the First Weltkrieg. At its foundation, the federation consisted of 6 pre-War italian states, under the initial rule of austrian prince Pietro Ferdinando I of Tuscany. The formation of the Federation was opposed almost immediately, with italian nationalists declaring a new Republic in Milan 2 days after its estabilishment, event which sparked the beginning of the Italian Civil War. By the end of 1920, the Federation was delegated to Lombardy-Venetia, Southern Italy and the island of Sardinia. The Federation would face more problems during the 1925 Italian Crisis, which saw the withdrawal of austrian forces in southern Italy, which along with a socialist war scare following the British Revolution would lead to the secession of the Two Sicilies, the Papal States and Sardinia from the Federation, leaving only the newly declared Republic of Lombardy-Venetia as member. The Federation would be officially dissolved in 1929, following the declaration of the Republic of Italy by its last Head of State, Ivanoe Bonomi.

History edit

Foundation edit

The unified Italy created in 1861 lasted little more than half a century. Her decision to side with the Entente powers rather than her traditional Central European allies during the Weltkrieg proved to be a mistake of the highest order. In 1919 Italian forces collapsed under a Central Powers offensive, and the combination of anger at Italy's betrayal and the Austrian desire for a friendly but weakened Italy resulted in the reorganization of the peninsula under a Federation of pre-unification states, under the leadership of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, a Habsburg army officer.

Soon after the Federation was proclaimed, however, incensed socialists and nationalists proclaimed the Republic of Italy in Milan, and across Northern Italy Federal and Austrian troops were forced out. Soon, however, the Republican rebels began to split apart into Red and White factions, and their advance stalled. The Whites, fearful of what the Syndicalists would do to their nation, and knowing Austria was about to fully intervention against them, contacted the Austrians for aid, and formed a pact that would barely hold the Reds at the River Po. When the fighting ended, Austria forced the Republicans to officially remain part of the Federation as Lombardy-Venetia but allowed the Prime Minister of the Republic to become Interim Head of the Federation.

Decline and Dissolution edit

The Federation's power and recognition remained strong until 1925 when the British Empire collapsed. As through much of Europe, a war scare shot through the peninsula, and the Socialists made preparatory moves to attack the southern states. Austria, experiencing internal turmoil, made the decision to withdraw forces from Rome and the Mezzogiorno. Furious, the Sicilian government saw no benefit in remaining part of the Federation and abandoned the system. Kingdom of Sardinia took the opportunity to leave as well, though it did not yet proclaim itself the Kingdom of Italy reborn. Ultimately, however, the new syndicalist Union of Britain did not provide the support that leaders in Torino anticipated, and the specter of war faded from Italy. While the Papal government and the Republic of Lombardy-Venetia (which became the Italian Republic after 1929) continued to remain part of the Federation, the writing was on the wall, and when the Federation Council's term of office expired in 1929 it was not renewed.
