Voltar

"Trust me, when you mess with one Volta, you mess with them all."

- Unknown Republic soldier on the Volta

Voltar was the home planet to the Volta, a group of xenophobic humans who were extremely territorial, which was the cause of the Volta Wars. After their defeat in the Volta Wars, Voltar and it's people disappeared into the pages of history.

Pre-Human period and colonization
There is no known history of other creatures living on Voltar, when the first people landed on Voltar, General Voltar, the colony leader and the reason for the planet's name, was said to have written:

"The planet is like a blank canvas, ready for us to put our brush to."

During the Republic's colonization age, Voltar was selected to be one of many planets to accept human colonization. General Voltar was selected to run the colony, and ensure that the colony did not fall into alien hands. Due to General Voltar's Xenophobia, this lead to an exile of all alien species that had joined the colony expedition, leaving the colony to consist of just humans.

Succession from the Republic
Years later, after General Volta had established a working economy, he declared the planet and it's citizens had broken all ties to the Republic. Not wanting to start a war, the Republic allowed the people of Voltar to succeed. A treaty was written stating that Republic forces would never enter Volta space. General Volta only promised that the people of Volta would never attack unless provoked. With the treaty signed, Voltar and it's people left the eyes of the Republic.

The Dark Times
During what is known as the dark times, the Volta established a Dictatorial Government with General Volta as their leader. After his death, the planet went through multiple leaders who fought each other for power, until Lieutenant Pridgen finally established power. With Pridgen at the head of the world, the Volta were pushed to their limits. It was under his leadership that the Volta's military force was made into the soldiers that would be met at the Volta Wars.
