Universe
SOL
Sol is the leader of the Sol
Faction, those whose aim is to direct and guide the fate of the Myriad Empires
overtly and benignly. From her hidden Star Fortress surrounded by a trinary of
blazing suns, Sol has broken the 10,000 year old Sol'una Alliance and declared
war on Luna.
Sol no longer feels that the
Sol'una Alliance can accomplish its goals while remaining a secretive and
unknown organisation. She plans to have her Agents take a more overt approach to
their dealings with the Myriad Empires. First however, Luna's Agents have to be
found and eliminated.
LUNA
Luna has crafted a universe
spanning network of agents, proxies and blinds, all controlled by her through
innumerable layers. Every facet of the Myriad Empires from the high to the low
is under her scrutiny and suspectible to her influence. From the shadows Luna
can shape the fate of the Myriad Empire to suit her own grand design.
That is if the universe does not learn of her secret: that she has held for
10,000 years the last known Gakўt - Moon - in
her Palace as her unrequited prisoner.
MYRIAD EMPIRES
10,000 years after the EndWar the
Gakўt have all but been forgotten, their
histories stolen or cleansed by Sol'una. The Myriad Empires under the indirect
influence of the Alliance have remained state of technological stasis. Kept
inside the cluster of galaxies that was spared the devestation of the EndWar the
Empires have reverted to their natural state of competition. Wars are common and
trade is is regulated by the universe-wide monopoly of the Intergalactic
Migration Board, the only pan-Empire body of the Myriad Empires.
The breaking of the forgotten Alliance has only started to loosen the shackles
of the Empires. Exploration ships, once sabotaged are now reuniting the Empires
with the rest of the universe. Conversely pirates and greater dangers can now
also enter Empires space as the Sol and Luna's wardens fight each other instead.
The danger to the Myriad Empires has never been greater.
THE
GAKЎT
The Gakўt spread from their obscure world to become masters of the universe
within the lifespan of a human. Individually powerful, unstoppable in numbers,
they defeated the galactic powers and installed themselves as their Rulers. For
millenia they ruled their Kingdoms as they saw fit, warred with each other, and
knitted the universe together. Despite the occupation it was a Golden Age of
Might and Reason. The Gakўt came to be worshipped as Gods.
But the Gakўt had a flaw and its exposure sent the universe spiraling into the
EndWar; a war so barbaric and destructive that the Gakўt were destroyed at a
cost unimaginable. Races were made extinct, solar systems turned to dust. The
first to feed the Gakўt's thirst for life. The second to deny it to them. For
100 years the EndWar raged until the last of the Gakўt were destroyed.
10,000 years later...
- One has been imprisoned, his rage never abating
- One has just begun to remember his powers
- One has returned to reclaim his empire
All three know the Destiny of their race: There Can Be Only One.
