First Sarna Supremacy
The original Sarna Supremacy was a powerful nation and among the first to form when mankind colonized the stars in the late 22nd century; it existed prior to 2195. Described in some sources as a dictatorship that prized itself on efficiency and productivity at the expense of individual freedoms, its centralized government was seated on the capital world, Sarna.
In 2225, the third Premier of Sarna, Emmanuel Denevieve Brunn, launched an ill-fated military expedition against Capella who had risen to be a serious economic and political rival. They were defeated by the Co-Prosperity Sphere, a mutual defense alliance that the Capellans had created with their trade partners. The Sarns remained at odds with what would later turn into the Capellan Hegemony for over a decade.
Another full scale war was fought from 2305 to 2309 following the secession of the worlds Palos and Wei from the Supremacy. The Supremacy managed to fight off the initial Capellan thrust at Sarna, re-occupied Palos against stiff resistance and later managed to hamper the Capellan war efforts through Kluanian pirates (sponsored by House Davion). In 2306 the Capellans negotiated military aid from the Free Worlds League. Although succeeding in the defense of Wei and occupying seventeen former Sarna worlds, the Capellan offensive ground to a halt when the Capellan Hegemony began to crumble from within. A peace settlement was signed in December 2309.
Following bickering with the Free Worlds League, the Sarna Supremacy attacked the neighboring Tikonov Grand Union in a savage two-year war from 2351 to 2352. Then in 2357 a Davion attack occupied the Sarnese world of Bell, uniting the warring factions against House Davion. A combined Sarna-Tikonov-Capellan relief force arrived the following year but found no trace of the Davion garrison or the civilian colonists. To this day the fate of 15,000 inhabitants of Bell remains a mystery.
Part of the Capellan Confederation
In July 2367, the Sarna Supremacy together with four other states formed the Capellan Confederation to defend against a growing menace from Davion controlled space. Within the Confederation it became the Sarna Commonality, abandoning its independence. For almost seven centuries, the Sarna Supremacy ceased to exist.
The worlds of the Sarna Commonality were conquered by the Federated Suns or otherwise lost by the Capellan Confederation over the course of the Fourth Succession War (from 3028 to 3030. They later became part of the Chaos March when the Federated Commonwealth was sundered following a Liao-Marik offensive (Operation Guerrero) in 3057; some others were recaptured straight away (such as Sarmaxa).
Second Sarna Supremacy
The Sarna Supremacy was revived during this time in 3057 as a short-lived ministate within the Chaos March. Besides Sarna, it included Sakhalin (which contributed vital mineral resources) and Kaifeng (which provided surplus food for the other worlds).
The revived Sarna Supremacy maintained the FedCom milita structure for their armed forces (Sarna March Militia, SMM) even though the F-C "Sarna March" had ceased to exist. The Kaifeng SMM was commanded by Leftenant General Cynthia Fallon who had already been in command of the unit in 3054 when it was still a FedCom unit. This is probably the reason why the Kaifeng SMM retained their name even when they changed their allegiance from the Federated Commonwealth to the Sarna Supremacy.
By the end of 3057 the new Sarna Supremacy was hiring mercenaries, obviously bent on expanding their influence in the Chaos March. Among these mercenaries were Jacob's Juggernauts, Ace Darwin's WhipIts and Carlton's Brigade, who were all stationed on Kaifeng.
Chancellor Sun-Tzu Liao set a plan in motion to retake these worlds in 3058. While blockading Sarna with three of the Confederation's new WarShips (two frigates and a destroyer), thus preventing any relief from being sent, WH Hiritsu occupied Kaifeng for the Capellan Confederation. The dependence of the Sarna Supremacy on food imports from Kaifeng gave the Confederation the fulcrum to eventually absorb the reformed Sarna Supremacy back into the Capellan Confederation.
