Neptune

Neptune
Neptune was a small theocracy that lays in a section of the Cereian city of Stella. It was the largest Catholic church in Mercourpa. The last current was Mateo V. Though it does not have a military the city is mainly guarded by Treuiss guards who were hired by the city and church when it was founded.

History
Founded in 1054, after the fall of the Koronian Empire that ruled the whole Trerriran sea it was a theocracy that claimed the Ivorian coast of modern day Ceres. It's founder was Alessandro I who took control of Ivorian coast by committing "ethnic cleanings" of the native Ivorians with his Crusader army. During the Cereian wars of the 1200s the Calthoic church gained support by monarchs across Mercourpa due to the popularity of both Christianity and Catholicism. This lead to the building of the great halls of Catholicism where many nopales, queens, kings, princes, princesses were all baptized, like Alexander II who was the king of Aries and was baptized in the great halls in 1567.

In the 1300s Neptunian priests and bishops went all over Mercourpa and even to Yishia to convert people into Catholicism and Christianity sometimes by force. In 1334 a Neptunian priest by the name of Angelo De Martisus lead an army of Neptunian crusaders to forcefully convert the pagan kingdom of Theoinor into Catholicism. This would be known as Crusade of Theoinor which lasted from 1334-1338 and lead to a Theornic victory. By 1393 the crusaders were slowly being replaced by better trained Treuiss soldiers who the Treuiss monarchy allowed for Neptune to use.

In 1453 a Cereian king named Enzo I united the kingdoms of Ceres under one and invaded the Neptune theocracy. The Cereian army entered the theocracy and fought against well trained Treuiss soldiers and Neptunian crusaders. But in 1495 Enzo I took over the theocracy and united Ceres under one kingdom. However Enzo I allowed the Neptunians to have a small section of Stella which became their own city.

Flyonic wars
When Libra invaded Ceres in 1825 they let Neptune have it's autonomy. The Neptune church however had mixed views on the Libraians as they mainly disrespected traditions and cultures they had.

Second Antares - Orion War
During the invasion of the Cereian kingdom of 1935 by Antarean forces Neptune allowed Antarean soldiers to move freely around the city limits. Due to allied bombing campaigns over Ceres Antarean soldiers placed AA cannons on sacred buildings and walls making most of the Catholic leaders mad over the disrespect of their holy grounds. It was worsened when it was reported that Antarean soldiers walked into the great halls drinking and stealing holy water from the baptizing pools. On 1951 Treuiss guards attempted to force Antarean soldiers sleeping the praying grounds out of the city limits but were threatened by the Antareans if they were to even fight back. On May 5th, 1956 just as allied forces were entering the city of Stella Antarean soldiers lit a blaze buildings and looted religious jewels from the city causing huge amounts of damage, it is unknown why Antarean soldiers did this but by morning half of the city was destroyed by flames.

Post Second Antares - Orion War
During the nuclear era Neptune was not involved rather focused on reconstructions. During the Cereian Communist revolution of 1969 the city was shelled by Communist forces after Royalist troops hide in the city walls once again destroying parts of the city. After the end of the revolution Communist leader Martine Fóleendro and his cult of student followers marched into the city pillaging and destroying the city grounds killing a handful of Treuiss guards.

By the 2nd burning of the city the holy city had fallen to communist hands. Communist students later erased the existence of the city by destroying churches and lynching suspected persists and city residents.

The Deacon Mateo V was publicly hanged by Cereian students who spat and burned his robes.
