YE 36 is the Yamataian Calendar year that began on January 1, 2014 and lasted until December 31st of that year.

The tentative theme for YE 36 was the “Year of Development,” in which game masters and staff focused on enriching the Star Army universe by revisiting places in the RP, adding details to articles, and adding plot hooks and vibrant RP locations to the SARP setting. Players were encouraged to explore and add to the setting, and branch out using Open RP.

Here's what's happened in YE 36:

Yamatai Star Empire

• Yamatai updates its flag design, removing the kanji ideograms and adding a white disc with a red border behind the bellflower.
• 6th year in the reign of Her Imperial Majesty, Empress Himiko I of Yamatai.
• Yamatai hosts the International Relations Conference of YE 36.
• YSS Aeon explores system AX-03
  • Encounters species Thaurgons helps prevent a military coup.
• The VSV Boutros crash lands on Asura III and its crew begins to combat local defense forces, sparking response from Yamatai in the form of Operation QUIET RAGE.
• YSS Eucharis encountered an advanced alien artifact consisting of a crystalloid base and mass driver on Splorfin I 14. The encounter did not go well and the Eucharis' away team was attacked and destroyed the base in response.
• YSS Eucharis also made first contact with the Rixxikor.
• YSS Aeon identifies possible system controlled by the Kingdom of Neshaten.
• YSS Soyokaze was finished and launched. On its first mission the crew assaulted a moon outpost of NMX and rescued the refugees being kept there as prisoners. There was much rejoicing. “Yay…”
• The Intergalactic Transport Corporation was founded on Ushobrakflug System.
• End of the Qel'noran War¹⁾

Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia

• Pyros Thrull Westwood steps down as Premier & Sky Marshall of the DION.
• He is succeeded by Charlie Coast, who resigned from his position as Grand Admiral of 3rd Assault Fleet.
• Motoyoshi Saito is selected to replace Coast as Grand Admiral of 3rd Fleet. She becomes the first female Grand Admiral as well as the first servicewoman of foreign birth to reach the rank. Her position further symbolizes the permanent rift between many UOC Jiyuuians and the Yamatai Empire. Admiral Motoyoshi has distanced herself from the rest of her kin in the Empire.
• Nepleslia is represented by Premier Coast, Grand Admiral Dominic Valken and Jonathan Izgimmer as a show of Nepleslian interest in accomplishing something at the latest IRC.
• DATASS is signed by Nepleslia and the Lorath Matriarchy, followed by Yamatai. This agreement superseded the YE 36 DION-YSE Treaty, which was never ratified by either Nepleslia or Yamatai.
• Concurrent with the IRC, 1st Assault Fleet and 4th AASP held war games with their respective Marine contingents in the Nepleslia system. It was adjudicated by 2nd Assault Fleet. Prior to the commencement, all Fleet Commanders (Rear Admiral :Valencia Ironside commanded 4th Fleet in place of GADM Valken) were presented with sealed orders which were only to be opened in the event of a conflict with Yamatai. These secret orders pertained to an operation plan codenamed, “Operation Ragnarok.” Their contents are not known outside the recipients and the plan's archictects as they were destroyed following the end of the IRC on its first day.
• Despite protection offered under the DIoN-Free State Protectorate Treaty, the The Cult of War proposed an experimental defense force made entirely of Free Spacers. Though facing resistance, the proposal moved forward and led to the creation of a small force under the tutelage of the SMDIoN.
• Late in the year, all four Grand Admirals met at Veritas to discuss the future, the allocation of forces, and the potential threats to the Imperium.
• On Lewis Pasco Day, NAM offers to send anyone a free HHG to prove the boast that Nepleslian guns are the best guns. Ever.
