In 30 A.E. Commander Mezer Juul's flagship was destroyed in battle by the Bushraki during the Bushraki War. Maddox and Akari Lane took over as co-Commanders of the Free Fleet, which was especially notable as Humans were a very small minority in the Fleet.

In 76 A.E., Maddox and Akari came out of retirement and defected with a substantial portion of the Free Fleet to the Celestine Ascendancy, to offer them assistance in defeating their power-mad daughter Tamiko.
In 72 A.E. the [[Ishvana]] attacked again, during the [[First War of the Ishvana]], and is resisted by the [[Song Dominion]], in loose coordination with the [[Celestine Ascendancy]].
 
In 74 A.E. the planet Song was utterly devastated in a massive, unexpected and final attack by the Bushraki and Vendal, who are then retreat.
 
Howver, as a refugee fleet is fleeing, [[Tamiko Lane Khan|Tamiko]], who had already hired out the Free Fleet at extortionate prices to help the war effort, saw an opportunity and took it. She had acquired a cast-off [[Celestine Ascendancy|Ascendancy]] cruiser and, while broadcasting Ascendancy transponder codes, had it blow up a portion of the refugee fleet, killing 2 million souls. The [[Song Dominion|Song]], outraged, blamed the [[Celestine Ascendancy|Ascendancy]], who vehemently denied any knowledge of the attack.
 
The Song-Celestine alliance thereby fractured, and the [[Song Dominion|Song]] ransomed themselves even further to pay the Fleet to fight for them against the [[Celestine Ascendancy|Ascendancy]] in what became known as the [[First Empire War]].
 
In 75 A.E. [[Tamiko Lane Khan|Tamiko]] threw away two entire attack groups of mixed Song and Free Fleet forces against the Ascendancy, doing so in a way as to make it look like the Song commanders under here were at fault for their stunning defeat.
 
Desperate, the civilian Song council gave Tamiko what she asked for: Direct control of the [[Song Dominion|Song]] military, so that she can integrate them completely with the Free Fleet and thereby maximize their power vs. the [[Celestine Ascendancy|Ascendancy]]. Tamiko hoped to use this power to establish an Empire of her own.
 
In 76 A.E. [[Tamiko Lane Khan|Tamiko]], now having control over the Song military as well as the Fleet, promptly overthrew the civilian Song government, commandeered a military space station orbiting the ruined planet Song, and established a new military order for the [[Song Dominion|Dominion]], with herself as Empress.
 
Exactly 12 days later, [[Maddox Khan|Maddox]] and [[Akari Lane|Akari]] came out of retirement and defected with a substantial portion of the Free Fleet to the [[Celestine Ascendancy]], to offer them assistance in defeating their power-mad daughter [[Tamiko Lane Khan|Tamiko]].


In 81 A.E. Tamiko had her mother Akari assassinated by introducing a fatal toxin into the mix of chemicals injected into Akari during a planetside rejuv treatment.

Enraged, Maddox threw caution to the wind and eventually crushed his daughter's forces. Tamiko was captured and brought to the Celestine Ascendancy for trial.
