Introduction

 

It was merely nine years after the devastating Great War when kerbalkind finally began to explore beyond their homeworld of Kerbin. But - as with most of the explorations that occurred through our history - the launch of the Füthor 1 orbital satellite was not one done simply for curiousity's sake.

It was an exploration to prove superiority and dominance.

You see, the construction and launch of the Füthor was orchestrated by the Jerram Reich, a totalitarian dictatorship locked in a state of cold war with the two other superpowers of Kerbin at the time. It was the third attempt by the Reich to put a satellite in orbit, which would somehow prove itself "better" than both the United Communes of Somvard and the Federal States of Murcrar.

But for being carried out by an extremely oppressive polity, the launch of the Füthor 1 was to become one of the most important events in all of kerbalkind's history.

It would usher in the very first Space Race of countless Space Races. It would also upset quite a lot of other nations...

I don't really like this intro all that much - but hopefully, the rest of it will be better.

If you want to suggest something for this project, please feel free to do so. I do have a general plan of what's going to happen over time, but I can certainly implement details if they don't contradict my plans for it too much.

The Füthor 1

The Füthor 1's launch was so monumental in Kerbigen history that the universal standard calendar has a fixed starting year on the launch of said probe. But at the time of its launch it sparked great controversy against the three major superpowers, as the Federal States of Murcrar and the United Communes of Sovmard claimed that the Füthor trespassed on both of their airspace territory. This dispute would take over a decade and a half to be finally resolved, with the Deep Space Treaty stating that any space at an altitude of 70 kilometers above Kerbin or higher could not be claimed by any nation.

Naturally, the Jerram Reich would later violate this treaty following the construction of the Reichraumbahnhof - but that's another topic altogether.
