The metal army

The metal army is an army of humanoid species with metal armor. The history of the metal army is split into "phases"

Phase One of the Metal Army

Part one: The inhabitants of the Wood Army's planet were happy, and had a mostly peaceful civilization, but there was a specific group that thought the Wood Army's leader was not acceptable. The group became anarchists, attempting to overthrow the law of the planet. They were defeated however, and were to find a new planet, being sent off by force.

Part two: The ship had crash-landed at a very cold planet. There were barely any trees, but there was metal ore. Metal was a very valuable resource where the Wood Army inhabited, but here, it was the most abundant resource available. The outsiders, who now called themselves the "Metal Army" started digging and mining, day in, and day out. After months of hunting and mining and famine, the Metal Army had finally had enough resources to armor and clothe the inhabitants.

Part three: The Metal Army had large towns, and a very forward thinking society. They began to find resources to act as wires. They began creating medicine, technology, and food industries. Everything was going well, and they had thrived more than ever.

But not for long.

Phase Two of the Metal Army

Part one: The inhabitants of the Wood Army's planet had found out about the Metal Army's planet, and their large amount of resources. They began sending ships, mechs, and soldiers to purge the Metal Army. The Metal Army only had blades and light armor, and they would certainly perish, the Wood Army thought.

Part two: The Metal Army's astronomers and scientists had reported odd spacecrafts orbiting the planet. They knew what was coming. Their soldiers stocked up on supplies, citizens hid in their homes, and the war began. The Wood Army's weapons were more powerful than the Metal Army's, but that didn't stop them from trying to win. Many citizens and soldiers perished, but in a burst of hope and anger, the Metal Army had pushed the enemy forces back, and the Wood Army retreated.

Part three: The Metal Army began studying the Wood Army's weapons, and were able to build their own. They were able to scavenge enough parts from the weapons to create a sufficient mining machine. This allowed them to create better weapons, homes, technology, and armor.

Phase Three of the Metal Army

Part one: After the war, the number of inhabitants on the Metal Army's planet largely decreased. The amount of food and water and resources used was very large, and the inhabitants did not have much to live on. The soldiers who did return, however, hunted in the surrounding area and built better homes for their families. The engineers and scientists of the planet had successfully created a distress beacon that reached the neighboring planets. The inhabitants of the neighboring planets began trading with the Metal Army, which allowed the Metal Army to further create new technology and utilize more resources.

Part two: The inhabitants of the neighboring planets started to enlist in the Metal Army. They had previously been in ordeals with the Wood Army, and after hearing that the Metal Army was a rebellion against the Wood Army, they joined the cause and assisted the Metal Army with building, developing strategies against the Wood Army, and further advancing their technology. After all of the recent developments and soldiers, they went under the name of The Legion of Steel.

Part three: The Legion of Steel had used their new technology to investigate the Wood Army's planet, and they decided now was the perfect time to attack. They sent ships to purge the smaller bases of the Wood Army, and succeeded. The higher ranks of the Wood Army quickly gained knowledge of the recent attacks, and sent many squads of soldiers to deal with the Legion of Steel. The Legion of Steel quickly retaliated, with several more attacks on the Wood Army's bases. Later, the Legion of Steel leader attempted to send a squad to assassinate the leader of the Wood Army, and failed. The two sides sent battalions of soldiers to the enemies' planet, and have been in a tug of war ever since.
