==History==

Skion unified as a planet in the distant past after a series of international conflicts that were close to bleeding the planet dry. It was in this time of crisis that the leaders of the great nations put aside their conflicts and squabbles to search for a solution to their dwindling resources. In those days Skion was not capable of more than rudimentary space flight and the colonies on the moons Eylia and Solia were still many years away. The unification council convened to determine the course of Skion politics and industry in order to save their planet and themselves. The solution: magik. A number of powerful magik users demonstrated that magik was more than parlor tricks and fun, it was also industrial. It was decided that education and research into the magikal arts was a priority and it led to a number of engines that changed Skion forever: Matter Machines. Matter Machines saved Old Skion by using magik to create any item or object imaginable. Soon they would be produced in massive quantities, from small appliances for consumer use to factories that could refill the oceans. The first steps to utopia were created with the Matter Machines, boosting technology until the two were nearly inseparable, the pillars on which their new world would be built.

In time, the planet would settle into a period of peace and ultra-prosperity. A Grand Republic was created to handle administrative matters, doing so satisfactorily for such a populous planet. As scarcity plummeted, literacy and the arts soared. The moons of Skion were terraformed and colonized, hinting at a great expansion into the stars. However, nobody wanted to go. The ships and material were ready to fly into the depths of space, but few wanted to leave the absolute comfort of Skion. Though many daring adventruers were ready to leave, there wasn't enough ancillary staff and support to make the missions happen. The desire to leave Skion faded away, piece by piece, until it was forgotten entirely.

Mega structures rose into the skyline. Disease and poverty vanished. The Great Peace seemed without end.

===The First War===

As the Skion looked less and less to the stars and more and more to their own comfort and leisure, a foe lurked in the depths of space. A creeping, crawling horror known as [[The Swarm]]. These monsters landed across a significant quadrant of the planet inside mucus covered sacks the size of buildings. When the Skion went to investigate they found only the teeth and claws of an enemy who did not negotiate or give quarter.
In desperation, the Skion broke open their armories, reprogrammed the Matter Machines, and made war once more. [[The Swarm]] cared not for territory or glory but only for violence and they brought death to the Skion. The old tactics wouldn't work on this enemy and Skion reeled. Fortunately, the Skion mega structures proved difficult for [[The Swarm]] to clear efficiently, giving the once-peaceful Skion time to formulate a new strategy.

Eylia and Solia had not been touched by [[The Swarm]] and proved invaluable in the defense. The Matter Machines on the moons endlessly belched the resources of war. With fire and magik they made armor, guns, and tanks. The last of the generals drew a final line around the planet and ordered it to be cleared and fortified. Buildings were torn down and repurposed, trenches were dug, barbed wire was placed, bunkers were built. Line after line of defense was constructed, the entire population drafted into service. In ten days the line was finished, spanning the entire horizon. The fighting was fierce when [[The Swarm]] were finally finished chewing through the unguarded section of the planet. With vast numbers they charged into the bullets and blades of the new Skion war machine, overwhelming it piece by piece.

Days of constant fighting wore on, the death toll reaching impossible numbers. Blood soaked the ground for miles. Slowly the charge of [[The Swarm]] was checked, halted by never ending artillery and the desperate will of uncountable warriors. When day dawned on the thirty-first day there were no foes to kill: the enemy had retreated. Now it was the Skion's turn to advance. They purged the blight from their homeworld with pitiless violence until every stone had been turned and every hideout torched.

===The Awakening===

After surviving the horrors of the first war the Skion looked to the stars. It would not take long to repair the damage to their world, but now the people wanted more. They wanted the stars. The warrior spirit of the Skion was reawakened. Shipyards were built and factories reopened. The Skion did not need to be pressed into service, they did so gladly. They would bring war to the stars and increase their influence. The Republic stepped down and a new government was created with one goal: Advance into the stars and bring war.
The Skion Interstellar Domain was born.

==Government==

The Skion Interstellar Domain is a Constitutional Autocracy, where a single ruler has total control with limits to their power defined by the Skion Constitution. The constitution itself merely places the responsibility for war preparations on the Autocrat, referred to as The Serenity, and gives them total control provided they are active in seeking out daring and dangerous new interstellar conflicts.

====The Serenity====

The Serenity has absolute authority over Skion, except for the privileges and rights afforded to the War Department. A Serenity is selected by the people of Skion in an election comprised of candidates from the previous Serenity's advisors.

The Serenity is also responsible for appointing a council of advisors to assist in administrative and executive matters, and also for appointing a war council to command Skion's fleets and armies.

====The War Department====

The War Department was envisioned as a check against the power of Skion’s administrative government, but it was a hard sell and appeared to be a coup waiting to happen. Gradually it was folded back into the numerous duties and responsibilities of the domain. Still, there was an appetite for such a division to maintain military readiness outside the normal chain of command, a quick-strike force attached, but not beholden to, the rest of the military infrastructure.

The new War Division was created, with Skulna as its Queen.

Skulna successfully lobbied for the codification of two Rights to the War Division. The Right to Independence laid down that the War Division is not to be given orders by other military leaders, save the Serenity. The Right to First Blood grants the War Division and its fleet the privilege of first contact with an enemy after the declaration of war.

In practice, the War Division often puts itself underneath military commanders outside the Division, and often declarations of war are either not made at all, or after the commencement of outright hostilities. Still, First Blood is a popular invention.

== Skion Society ==

Skion is the homeplanet for the Skion people, but the culture also encompasses the two moons that orbit the planet: Eylia and Solia. Collectively they are referred to as the Skion, though the lunar culture can be drastically different from the main planet. The moons were the great bastions during The First War, suffering no damage as [[The Swarm]] only landed on Skion itself. Their armaments and colors are often different, highlighting the proud lunar heritage though the differences can be very small. The population of both moons is dwarved by the trillions that call Skion home, but they are always a force to be reckoned with.

After The First War all of Skion society has been swept with the fever for action. Nobody returned home from the war, insisting on remaining in service to subjugate the stars. The Great Peace lingers on the collective consciousness but the Skion pay it no heed.

The constitution itself merely places the responsibility for war preparations on the Autocrat, referred to as The Serenity, and gives them total control provided they are active in seeking out daring and dangerous new interstellar conflicts. The remainder of the document deals primarily with the creation of the War Sovereignty, whose role is to check the power of The Serenity.

====The Serenity====

The Serenity has absolute authority over Skion, except for the privileges and rights afforded to the War Sovereignty. A Serenity is selected by the people of Skion in an election comprised of candidates from the previous Serenity's advisors. However, the War Sovereignty is responsible for choosing a new Serenity in the event they cannot make war effectively. Skion is still under the rule of the First Serenity, so only time will tell if the procedures will be followed. Since the Skion collective consciousness is so determined to make war on foreign foes, it is not likely a coup attempt would be successful.

The Serenity is also responsible for appointing a council of advisors to assist in administrative and executive matters, and also for appointing a war council to command Skion's fleets and armies.

The current Serenity is referred to as His Serenity.

====The War Department====

The War Department was envisioned as a check against the power of Skion’s administrative government, but it was a hard sell and appeared to be a coup waiting to happen. Gradually it was folded back into the numerous duties and responsibilities of the domain. Still, there was an appetite for such a division to maintain military readiness outside the normal chain of command, a quick-strike force attached, but not beholden to, the rest of the military infrastructure.

==History==

The Dominion's history is littered with wars and strife, much like any civilization, but when they discovered the moon that orbited their homeworld Hobos was sentient the course of their advancement took a sudden turn. This moon, they learned, called itself Evana, and it came to be known as the Eagle of Omens and Dreams, for she spoke only to a select few as they slept. Evana's surface is littered with craters and the crude shape of an eagle can be seen even from the surface of Hobos. Soon all of Hobos was united under Evana's influence and they restyled their world as the Dominion of the Eagle in her honor.

Evana directed her people to the stars and they took to spacefaring with much enthusiasm. Soon the entire system belonged to them.

As they pushed further into the void, their fleets contacted a force beyond their strength. The massive [[Skion]] fleets met them in space and, with few options, the Dominion quickly sued for peace before anything could get out of their control. Blood was spared, surprisingly, by the predominant color of the Dominion's military, for [[Skion]] has a fondness for the many hues of blue.

Evana had little choice but to bless this union, and so the Dominion now accompanies [[Skion]] and the rest of the [[Azure Compact]] to war.

==Government==

While the Dominion is nominally controlled by it's Council and the Emperor that leads it, the true power resides with the High Priestess who sits upon, yet outside, the Council. The current High Priestess is Raynia, a motived and ambitious woman that has long interpreted the will of Evana with clarity and fidelity.

However, the Council still wields considerable power, and should not be considered second fiddle to the Priestess. Raynia must always consult with Evana and, as this takes time, cannot stretch her authority too far without arousing suspicion or worse: excommunication from communion with the holy moon.

{{Category|Factions and Forces}}

Many factions and civilizations exist in the [[BrikVerse]]. Here, they are organized relative story function. There may be some overlap in concept. Where Factions are not yet fully realized on the wiki and given their own pages, they should appear in the [[Big List of Countries]]. Factions in BrikWars can generally be described in one or more of three different ways. Toybox Factions are factions that are significantly represented by real, physical toys. StoryBrik Factions are factions that have accumulated [[Kanon]] through [[BrikFiction]], [[Battle Reports]], [[Forum Battles]], and the like. StoryBook Factions, or BrikFic Factions, are factions that are significantly represented by abstract art, such as BrikFiction, digital construction programs and artwork, or physical artwork. Certain construction programs, like LDD, straddle the line between the last two descriptions because some players believe it is firmly a work of fiction and others believe it is a completely viable construction tool. It will become apparent how factions may be described as one browses the Factions and Forces articles. Factions are also typically described as player created or generic. Player created factions are created and maintained by BrikWarriors. As such, they typically have much more detailed stories and characters. Generic factions are factions that have sprung up usually through collaboration on the community's part. Generic factions are not "owned" by any specific player. BrikWarriors are generally respectful of these boundaries but crossover control is exceedingly common. After all, much in the BrikVerse is governed by [[Open Sores Material]] policy.

They are here organized first by Category and then by relative size and importance.

== Factions by Category ==

''Factions are often related to one another via a number of means. They may be enemies or allies, grouped together by geographic location (such as all the factions belonging to a particular world), part of a Storyline, or even grouped by a strong, central theme. Such factions usually maintain some form of meaningful contact with one another, though this is not always the case. Each page presented below will describe the grouping as a whole and detail which of the above factions are associated with it. The individual faction pages below will also likely detail their various and sundry associations.''

== Bloodlines ==
''Bloodlines are minifig lineages that span large numbers of Rekonstruktions. They often own a particularly long history, fraught with heroes, warfare, and betrayal. They are the ties that bind, passing responsibilities, power, relics, and legacies from one generation to the next.''

==Community Content Factions==

''Community Content Factions, or sometimes Generic Factions, constitute what are generally construed as any given toy companies "themes"; no specific player can claim "authorship" of these factions because they are fairly universal and easily accessible to all BrikWarriors. Backstories and special rules for these factions have largely been collaborated on by the community, though some factions were designed by a single player and freely given over to community use. This allows newcomers, in particular, to play a faction "straight from the box." These factions follow the [[Community Content]] Guidelines''

==== Elder Civilizations ====

''Elder Civilizations are very large groups, often singularly governed, which have been present since the Time of Spacemen. Each one of them is centered around a colored theme. The Elder Civilizations are generic army descriptors that exist to give a backstory to armies that have simply been thrown together on the spot; it's a lot cooler to be able to say you're fielding an assault team of Joharan Raiders than it is to say that you picked out all of the yellow minifigs from the box and thus you are Team Yellow.''

==History==

Skion unified as a planet in the distant past after a series of international conflicts that were close to bleeding the planet dry. It was in this time of crisis that the leaders of the great nations put aside their conflicts and squabbles to search for a solution to their dwindling resources. In those days Skion was not capable of more than rudimentary space flight and the colonies on the moons Eylia and Solia were still many years away. The unification council convened to determine the course of Skion politics and industry in order to save their planet and themselves. The solution: magik. A number of powerful magik users demonstrated that magik was more than parlor tricks and fun, it was also industrial. It was decided that education and research into the magikal arts was a priority and it led to a number of engines that changed Skion forever: Matter Machines. Matter Machines saved Old Skion by using magik to create any item or object imaginable. Soon they would be produced in massive quantities, from small appliances for consumer use to factories that could refill the oceans. The first steps to utopia were created with the Matter Machines, boosting technology until the two were nearly inseparable, the pillars on which their new world would be built.

In time, the planet would settle into a period of peace and ultra-prosperity. A Grand Republic was created to handle administrative matters, doing so satisfactorily for such a populous planet. As scarcity plummeted, literacy and the arts soared. The moons of Skion were terraformed and colonized, hinting at a great expansion into the stars. However, nobody wanted to go. The ships and material were ready to fly into the depths of space, but few wanted to leave the absolute comfort of Skion. Though many daring adventruers were ready to leave, there wasn't enough ancillary staff and support to make the missions happen. The desire to leave Skion faded away, piece by piece, until it was forgotten entirely.

Mega structures rose into the skyline. Disease and poverty vanished. The Great Peace seemed without end.

===The First War===

As the Skion looked less and less to the stars and more and more to their own comfort and leisure, a foe lurked in the depths of space. A creeping, crawling horror known as [[The Swarm]]. These monsters landed across a significant quadrant of the planet inside mucus covered sacks the size of buildings. When the Skion went to investigate they found only the teeth and claws of an enemy who did not negotiate or give quarter.
In desperation, the Skion broke open their armories, reprogrammed the Matter Machines, and made war once more. [[The Swarm]] cared not for territory or glory but only for violence and they brought death to the Skion. The old tactics wouldn't work on this enemy and Skion reeled. Fortunately, the Skion mega structures proved difficult for [[The Swarm]] to clear efficiently, giving the once-peaceful Skion time to formulate a new strategy.

Eylia and Solia had not been touched by [[The Swarm]] and proved invaluable in the defense. The Matter Machines on the moons endlessly belched the resources of war. With fire and magik they made armor, guns, and tanks. The last of the generals drew a final line around the planet and ordered it to be cleared and fortified. Buildings were torn down and repurposed, trenches were dug, barbed wire was placed, bunkers were built. Line after line of defense was constructed, the entire population drafted into service. In ten days the line was finished, spanning the entire horizon. The fighting was fierce when [[The Swarm]] were finally finished chewing through the unguarded section of the planet. With vast numbers they charged into the bullets and blades of the new Skion war machine, overwhelming it piece by piece.

Days of constant fighting wore on, the death toll reaching impossible numbers. Blood soaked the ground for miles. Slowly the charge of [[The Swarm]] was checked, halted by never ending artillery and the desperate will of uncountable warriors. When day dawned on the thirty-first day there were no foes to kill: the enemy had retreated. Now it was the Skion's turn to advance. They purged the blight from their homeworld with pitiless violence until every stone had been turned and every hideout torched.

===The Awakening===

After surviving the horrors of the first war the Skion looked to the stars. It would not take long to repair the damage to their world, but now the people wanted more. They wanted the stars. The warrior spirit of the Skion was reawakened. Shipyards were built and factories reopened. The Skion did not need to be pressed into service, they did so gladly. They would bring war to the stars and increase their influence. The Republic stepped down and a new government was created with one goal: Advance into the stars and bring war.
The Skion Interstellar Domain was born.

==Government==

The Skion Interstellar Domain is a Constitutional Autocracy, where a single ruler has total control with limits to their power defined by the Skion Constitution. The constitution itself merely places the responsibility for war preparations on the Autocrat, referred to as The Serenity, and gives them total control provided they are active in seeking out daring and dangerous new interstellar conflicts. The remainder of the document deals primarily with the creation of the War Sovereignty, whose role is to check the power of The Serenity.

====The Serenity====

The Serenity has absolute authority over Skion, except for the privileges and rights afforded to the War Sovereignty. A Serenity is selected by the people of Skion in an election comprised of candidates from the previous Serenity's advisors. However, the War Sovereignty is responsible for choosing a new Serenity in the event they cannot make war effectively. Skion is still under the rule of the First Serenity, so only time will tell if the procedures will be followed. Since the Skion collective consciousness is so determined to make war on foreign foes, it is not likely a coup attempt would be successful.

The Serenity is also responsible for appointing a council of advisors to assist in administrative and executive matters, and also for appointing a war council to command Skion's fleets and armies.

The current Serenity is referred to as His Serenity.

====The War Sovereignty====

The primary responsibility of the War Sovereignty is to check the power of The Serenity and ensure they are acting in good faith within the mandates set by the constitution. If the Serenity is no longer capable or interested in making war, it is the Soveriegn's duty to remove The Serenity from power and appoint a new one. The Sovereign is also expected to be proficient in the use of battle magic. Beyond this, the Sovereign is granted a number of specific rights:
Right to First Blood: The Sovereign, or their fleet, is granted the first attack on an enemy after the declaration of war.
Right to Independence: The Serenity or their commanders cannot give orders to the Sovereignty and the Sovereign is granted their own fleet for the purposes of making war.

The current Sovereign is War Queen Skulna.

== Skion Society ==

Skion is the homeplanet for the Skion people, but the culture also encompasses the two moons that orbit the planet: Eylia and Solia. Collectively they are referred to as the Skion, though the lunar culture can be drastically different from the main planet. The moons were the great bastions during The First War, suffering no damage as [[The Swarm]] only landed on Skion itself. Their armaments and colors are often different, highlighting the proud lunar heritage though the differences can be very small. The population of both moons is dwarved by the trillions that call Skion home, but they are always a force to be reckoned with.

After The First War all of Skion society has been swept with the fever for action. Nobody returned home from the war, insisting on remaining in service to subjugate the stars. The Great Peace lingers on the collective consciousness but the Skion pay it no heed.

== Skion Society ==

Skion is the homeplanet for the Skion people, but the culture also encompasses the two moons that orbit the planet: Eylia and Solia. Collectively they are referred to as the Skion, though the lunar culture can be drastically different from the main planet. The moons were the great bastions during The First War, suffering no damage as [[The Swarm]] only landed on Skion itself. Their armaments and colors are often different, highlighting the proud lunar heritage though the differences can be very small. The population of both moons is dwarved by the trillions that call Skion home, but they are always a force to be reckoned with.

After The First War all of Skion society has been swept with the fever for action. Nobody returned home from the war, insisting on remaining in service to subjugate the stars. The Great Peace lingers on the collective consciousness but the Skion pay it no heed.

==History==

Skion unified as a planet in the distant past after a series of international conflicts that were close to bleeding the planet dry. It was in this time of crisis that the leaders of the great nations put aside their conflicts and squabbles to search for a solution to their dwindling resources. In those days Skion was not capable of more than rudimentary space flight and the colonies on the moons Eylia and Solia were still many years away. The unification council convened to determine the course of Skion politics and industry in order to save their planet and themselves. The solution: magik. A number of powerful magik users demonstrated that magik was more than parlor tricks and fun, it was also industrial. It was decided that education and research into the magikal arts was a priority and it led to a number of engines that changed Skion forever: Matter Machines. Matter Machines saved Old Skion by using magik to create any item or object imaginable. Soon they would be produced in massive quantities, from small appliances for consumer use to factories that could refill the oceans. The first steps to utopia were created with the Matter Machines, boosting technology until the two were nearly inseparable, the pillars on which their new world would be built.

In time, the planet would settle into a period of peace and ultra-prosperity. A Grand Republic was created to handle administrative matters, doing so satisfactorily for such a populous planet. As scarcity plummeted, literacy and the arts soared. The moons of Skion were terraformed and colonized, hinting at a great expansion into the stars. However, nobody wanted to go. The ships and material were ready to fly into the depths of space, but few wanted to leave the absolute comfort of Skion. Though many daring adventruers were ready to leave, there wasn't enough ancillary staff and support to make the missions happen. The desire to leave Skion faded away, piece by piece, until it was forgotten entirely.

Mega structures rose into the skyline. Disease and poverty vanished. The Great Peace seemed without end.

===The First War===

As the Skion looked less and less to the stars and more and more to their own comfort and leisure, a foe lurked in the depths of space. A creeping, crawling horror known as [[The Swarm]]. These monsters landed across a significant quadrant of the planet inside mucus covered sacks the size of buildings. When the Skion went to investigate they found only the teeth and claws of an enemy who did not negotiate or give quarter.
In desperation, the Skion broke open their armories, reprogrammed the Matter Machines, and made war once more. [[The Swarm]] cared not for territory or glory but only for violence and they brought death to the Skion. The old tactics wouldn't work on this enemy and Skion reeled. Fortunately, the Skion mega structures proved difficult for [[The Swarm]] to clear efficiently, giving the once-peaceful Skion time to formulate a new strategy.

Eylia and Solia had not been touched by [[The Swarm]] and proved invaluable in the defense. The Matter Machines on the moons endlessly belched the resources of war. With fire and magik they made armor, guns, and tanks. The last of the generals drew a final line around the planet and ordered it to be cleared and fortified. Buildings were torn down and repurposed, trenches were dug, barbed wire was placed, bunkers were built. Line after line of defense was constructed, the entire population drafted into service. In ten days the line was finished, spanning the entire horizon. The fighting was fierce when [[The Swarm]] were finally finished chewing through the unguarded section of the planet. With vast numbers they charged into the bullets and blades of the new Skion war machine, overwhelming it piece by piece.

Days of constant fighting wore on, the death toll reaching impossible numbers. Blood soaked the ground for miles. Slowly the charge of [[The Swarm]] was checked, halted by never ending artillery and the desperate will of uncountable warriors. When day dawned on the thirty-first day there were no foes to kill: the enemy had retreated. Now it was the Skion's turn to advance. They purged the blight from their homeworld with pitiless violence until every stone had been turned and every hideout torched.

===The Awakening===

After surviving the horrors of the first war the Skion looked to the stars. It would not take long to repair the damage to their world, but now the people wanted more. They wanted the stars. The warrior spirit of the Skion was reawakened. Shipyards were built and factories reopened. The Skion did not need to be pressed into service, they did so gladly. They would bring war to the stars and increase their influence. The Republic stepped down and a new government was created with one goal: Advance into the stars and bring war.
The Skion Interstellar Domain was born.

==Government==

The Skion Interstellar Domain is a Constitutional Autocracy, where a single ruler has total control with limits to their power defined by the Skion Constitution. The constitution itself merely places the responsibility for war preparations on the Autocrat, referred to as The Serenity, and gives them total control provided they are active in seeking out daring and dangerous new interstellar conflicts. The remainder of the document deals primarily with the creation of the War Sovereignty, whose role is to check the power of The Serenity.

====The Serenity====

The Serenity has absolute authority over Skion, except for the privileges and rights afforded to the War Sovereignty. A Serenity is selected by the people of Skion in an election comprised of candidates from the previous Serenity's advisors. However, the War Sovereignty is responsible for choosing a new Serenity in the event they cannot make war effectively. Skion is still under the rule of the First Serenity, so only time will tell if the procedures will be followed. Since the Skion collective consciousness is so determined to make war on foreign foes, it is not likely a coup attempt would be successful.

The Serenity is also responsible for appointing a council of advisors to assist in administrative and executive matters, and also for appointing a war council to command Skion's fleets and armies.

The current Serenity is referred to as His Serenity.

====The War Sovereignty====

The primary responsibility of the War Sovereignty is to check the power of The Serenity and ensure they are acting in good faith within the mandates set by the constitution. If the Serenity is no longer capable or interested in making war, it is the Soveriegn's duty to remove The Serenity from power and appoint a new one. The Sovereign is also expected to be proficient in the use of battle magic. Beyond this, the Sovereign is granted a number of specific rights:
Right to First Blood: The Sovereign, or their fleet, is granted the first attack on an enemy after the declaration of war.
Right to Independence: The Serenity or their commanders cannot give orders to the Sovereignty and the Sovereign is granted their own fleet for the purposes of making war.

The current Sovereign is War Queen Skulna.

== Skion Society ==

Skion is the homeplanet for the Skion people, but the culture also encompasses the two moons that orbit the planet: Eylia and Solia. Collectively they are referred to as the Skion, though the lunar culture can be drastically different from the main planet. The moons were the great bastions during The First War, suffering no damage as [[The Swarm]] only landed on Skion itself. Their armaments and colors are often different, highlighting the proud lunar heritage though the differences can be very small. The population of both moons is dwarved by the trillions that call Skion home, but they are always a force to be reckoned with.

After The First War all of Skion society has been swept with the fever for action. Nobody returned home from the war, insisting on remaining in service to subjugate the stars. The Great Peace lingers on the collective consciousness but the Skion pay it no heed.

Ragnablok 2

2020-08-03T04:45:13Z

Dienekes22: /* Blue - The Conquerors */

Hey, don't look at this, it's secret. I'm just trying to see if these ideas are cool or not. This could be a framework for the post-ragnablok period. People need time to stretch their legs in the new kanon but eventually I figure we'll want to do new overarching stories. The sections are all named after famous sequels, if you're wondering. But don't do that! Because none of this is happening yet.

==Ragnablok 2: Shattered Empires==

Following [[Ragnablok]], only the strongest star empires remain intact in the [[Brikverse]]. Even these, however, struggle to regroup their scattered and beaten armies. Below the astral plane, survivors wrestle over the meager resources of the [[Endless Battleplate]]. Minor factions, cast down like the rest of the rabble, build strength to return to their place in the stars. [[Da Brootalz]], once a rabid scourge on the galaxy, now live without purpose and must build a society from scratch. First, they'll probably need women. The [[Rubrum Crucesignatis]] finds itself as the preeminent alliance in the Brikverse. Can they bring the people together for the Greater Good, or will evil reign supreme in this new Brikverse? The Immortal Alliance finds itself split as factions choose sides between Warhead, heir apparent to the old Empire, and Auric, the old Emperor's step-brother in exile. But as the factions around them adjust to the new world, do the old rivalries even matter?

New factions rise, old factions change. They may be scattered across the [[Beige Carpet]] but they still cross paths thanks to interdimensional warp gates, folds in reality, and other convenient plot devices. What they do when they meet will define the new Brikverse for generations to come.

==Ragnablok Color Advance SP==

The collapse of the [[Nehellenium Galaxy]] led to a radical restructuring of factions. As it was no longer appropriate to distinguish factions geographically, factions slowly grouped into the [[:category:BrikWars 1998 Factions|ancient color categories]] that once defined all minifigures. Ragnablok stripped these factions of their politiks and kanon, leaving only their core colors to define them. Though the ancient names have been lost to time, characteristics of the colors still permeate through all their descendants. The colors are generally antagonistic to each other, but can work together toward a common goal. Some factions seek to dominate their color kin, while others use their similarities to build unity. Others still reject all definition of color, choosing instead to become (or remain) [[:category:Hodgepodge_Factions|Hodgepodge factions]].

Note: I am trying to limit the list below to active factions, i.e. factions that are have seen updates in the last year or so. I don't know all of them but w/e.

====Red - The Crusaders====

The Red Crusaders use their unparalleled strength to defend the weak and venture boldly on epik quests.

* [[M-Throne]]
* [[Unified Republik of Poland]]
* [[Imperial Magikstrate]]
* [[The Council of 500]]
* [[Akkadia]]
* [[Duchy of Wesselheim]]
* [[Vorhut|Vorhut Order]]
* [[Falx Invasion|Falx]]

====Blue - The Conquerors====

The Blue Conquerors use their majestic space armies to extend control over the Brikverse.

* [[The Grand Galactic Empire]]
* [[Britannia]]
* [[Luchardsko Empire]]
* [[Skion Interstellar Domain]]

====Yellow - The Builders====

The Yellow Builders derive their power from creative use of the unlimited resources of the Brikverse.

* [[T.L.A.]]
* [[Bratva|Monolith Bratva]]

====Orange - The Renegades====

The Orange Renegades fly under the radar, wheeling, stealing, and dealing for what they need.
* [[The Space Repair Garage]]

====Black - The Destroyers====

The Black Destroyers work out their angst over Ragnablok by crushing their enemies.

* [[Black Legion]]
* [[Immortal Empire]]
* [[USA]]

====Grey - The Defenders====

The Grey Defenders protect their own, and anyone with enough scrip to pay for their war machines.

* [[45th Union]]
* [[Armata|Armata Alliance]]

====White - The Paladins====

The White Paladins seek to establish order wherever they are, at any cost.

* [[Imperiya|Monolith Imperiya]]
* [[The Frostborne Tribe]]

====Green - The Wanderers====

The Green Wanderers make their homes wherever there are resources to support them, even if they have to fight for them.

* [[Da Brootalz]]
* [[ZMC]]
* [[Children of Dew]]
* [[Dimmy|Dimmies]]

====Brown - The Poop====

The Brown Poop was, sadly, not eradicated by Ragnablok, so we still have to deal with them every so often.

* [[Dungan]]s
* [[Space Pirates]]

==Ragnablok 2: Quantumsurfer Boogaloo==

In the new Brikverse, reincarnation is commonplace and resources are unlimited. Minifigs are free to live out their dearest violent impulses with minimal consequences, since anything can be rebuilt or retooled. Leading scientists believe this is due to a new flexibility in the Plot fabric of space-time, possibly due to interference by [[Quantumsurfer]]s. While the meddling of Quantumsurfers was discouraged in the Nehellenium Galaxy in strict adherence to the principles of Static [[Kanon]], today they roam freely throughout the Brikverse. Some are benevolent, some are mischievous, but all will give minifigs goodies if defeated in combat. Most Quantumsurfers have favorite factions that they assist, and ideas for story arcs that they impose on hapless minifigs.

==The Ragnablok Strikes Back==

The Old Gods continue to wander the Endless Battleplates, plotting new brikpocalypses. I don't really know if this is a real idea, I just thought of the section heading.

==Foundation and Ragnablok==

A small group of scientists, historians, and megalomaniacs are attempting to restore the original Brikverse to its pre-Ragnablok state. Many search for this fabled Foundation, whether to destroy it or help it along in its goal.

==Ragnablok 2: Quantumsurfer Boogaloo==

In the new Brikverse, reincarnation is commonplace and resources are unlimited. Minifigs are free to live out their dearest violent impulses with minimal consequences, since anything can be rebuilt or retooled. Leading scientists believe this is due to a new flexibility in the Plot fabric of space-time, possibly due to interference by [[Quantumsurfer]]s. While the meddling of Quantumsurfers was discouraged in the Nehellenium Galaxy in strict adherence to the principles of Static [[Kanon]], today they roam freely throughout the Brikverse. Some are benevolent, some are mischievous, but all will give minifigs goodies if defeated in combat. Most Quantumsurfers have favorite factions that they assist, and ideas for story arcs that they impose on hapless minifigs.

==The Ragnablok Strikes Back==

The Old Gods continue to wander the Endless Battleplates, plotting new brikpocalypses. I don't really know if this is a real idea, I just thought of the section heading.

==Foundation and Ragnablok==

A small group of scientists, historians, and megalomaniacs are attempting to restore the original Brikverse to its pre-Ragnablok state. Many search for this fabled Foundation, whether to destroy it or help it along in its goal.

==History==

Skion unified as a planet in the distant past after a series of international conflicts that were close to bleeding the planet dry. It was in this time of crisis that the leaders of the great nations put aside their conflicts and squabbles to search for a solution to their dwindling resources. In those days Skion was not capable of more than rudimentary space flight and the colonies on the moons Eylia and Solia were still many years away. The unification council convened to determine the course of Skion politics and industry in order to save their planet and themselves. The solution: magik. A number of powerful magik users demonstrated that magik was more than parlor tricks and fun, it was also industrial. It was decided that education and research into the magikal arts was a priority and it led to a number of engines that changed Skion forever: Matter Machines. Matter Machines saved Old Skion by using magik to create any item or object imaginable. Soon they would be produced in massive quantities, from small appliances for consumer use to factories that could refill the oceans. The first steps to utopia were created with the Matter Machines, boosting technology until the two were nearly inseparable, the pillars on which their new world would be built.

In time, the planet would settle into a period of peace and ultra-prosperity. A Grand Republic was created to handle administrative matters, doing so satisfactorily for such a populous planet. As scarcity plummeted, literacy and the arts soared. The moons of Skion were terraformed and colonized, hinting at a great expansion into the stars. However, nobody wanted to go. The ships and material were ready to fly into the depths of space, but few wanted to leave the absolute comfort of Skion. Though many daring adventruers were ready to leave, there wasn't enough ancillary staff and support to make the missions happen. The desire to leave Skion faded away, piece by piece, until it was forgotten entirely.

Mega structures rose into the skyline. Disease and poverty vanished. The Great Peace seemed without end.

===The First War===

As the Skion looked less and less to the stars and more and more to their own comfort and leisure, a foe lurked in the depths of space. A creeping, crawling horror known as [[The Swarm]]. These monsters landed across a significant quadrant of the planet inside mucus covered sacks the size of buildings. When the Skion went to investigate they found only the teeth and claws of an enemy who did not negotiate or give quarter.
In desperation, the Skion broke open their armories, reprogrammed the Matter Machines, and made war once more. [[The Swarm]] cared not for territory or glory but only for violence and they brought death to the Skion. The old tactics wouldn't work on this enemy and Skion reeled. Fortunately, the Skion mega structures proved difficult for [[The Swarm]] to clear efficiently, giving the once-peaceful Skion time to formulate a new strategy.

Eylia and Solia had not been touched by [[The Swarm]] and proved invaluable in the defense. The Matter Machines on the moons endlessly belched the resources of war. With fire and magik they made armor, guns, and tanks. The last of the generals drew a final line around the planet and ordered it to be cleared and fortified. Buildings were torn down and repurposed, trenches were dug, barbed wire was placed, bunkers were built. Line after line of defense was constructed, the entire population drafted into service. In ten days the line was finished, spanning the entire horizon. The fighting was fierce when [[The Swarm]] were finally finished chewing through the unguarded section of the planet. With vast numbers they charged into the bullets and blades of the new Skion war machine, overwhelming it piece by piece.

Days of constant fighting wore on, the death toll reaching impossible numbers. Blood soaked the ground for miles. Slowly the charge of [[The Swarm]] was checked, halted by never ending artillery and the desperate will of uncountable warriors. When day dawned on the thirty-first day there were no foes to kill: the enemy had retreated. Now it was the Skion's turn to advance. They purged the blight from their homeworld with pitiless violence until every stone had been turned and every hideout torched.

===The Awakening===

After surviving the horrors of the first war the Skion looked to the stars. It would not take long to repair the damage to their world, but now the people wanted more. They wanted the stars. The warrior spirit of the Skion was reawakened. Shipyards were built and factories reopened. The Skion did not need to be pressed into service, they did so gladly. They would bring war to the stars and increase their influence. The Republic stepped down and a new government was created with one goal: Advance into the stars and bring war.
The Skion Interstellar Domain was born.

==Government==

The Skion Interstellar Domain is a Constitutional Autocracy, where a single ruler has total control with limits to their power defined by the Skion Constitution. The constitution itself merely places the responsibility for war preparations on the Autocrat, referred to as The Serenity, and gives them total control provided they are active in seeking out daring and dangerous new interstellar conflicts. The remainder of the document deals primarily with the creation of the War Sovereignty, whose role is to check the power of The Serenity.

====The Serenity====

The Serenity has absolute authority over Skion, except for the privileges and rights afforded to the War Sovereignty. A Serenity is selected by the people of Skion in an election comprised of candidates from the previous Serenity's advisors. However, the War Sovereignty is responsible for choosing a new Serenity in the event they cannot make war effectively. Skion is still under the rule of the First Serenity, so only time will tell if the procedures will be followed. Since the Skion collective consciousness is so determined to make war on foreign foes, it is not likely a coup attempt would be successful.

The Serenity is also responsible for appointing a council of advisors to assist in administrative and executive matters, and also for appointing a war council to command Skion's fleets and armies.

The current Serenity is referred to as His Serenity.

====The War Sovereignty====

The primary responsibility of the War Sovereignty is to check the power of The Serenity and ensure they are acting in good faith within the mandates set by the constitution. If the Serenity is no longer capable or interested in making war, it is the Soveriegn's duty to remove The Serenity from power and appoint a new one. The Sovereign is also expected to be proficient in the use of battle magic. Beyond this, the Sovereign is granted a number of specific rights:
Right to First Blood: The Sovereign, or their fleet, is granted the first attack on an enemy after the declaration of war.
Right to Independence: The Serenity or their commanders cannot give orders to the Sovereignty and the Sovereign is granted their own fleet for the purposes of making war.

The current Sovereign is War Queen Skulna.

== Skion Society ==

Skion is the homeplanet for the Skion people, but the culture also encompasses the two moons that orbit the planet: Eylia and Solia. Collectively they are referred to as the Skion, though the lunar culture can be drastically different from the main planet. The moons were the great bastions during The First War, suffering no damage as [[The Swarm]] only landed on Skion itself. Their armaments and colors are often different, highlighting the proud lunar heritage though the differences can be very small. The population of both moons is dwarved by the trillions that call Skion home, but they are always a force to be reckoned with.

After The First War all of Skion society has been swept with the fever for action. Nobody returned home from the war, insisting on remaining in service to subjugate the stars. The Great Peace lingers on the collective consciousness but the Skion pay it no heed.

Mega structures rose into the skyline. Disease and poverty vanished. The Great Peace seemed without end.

===The First War===

As the Skion looked less and less to the stars and more and more to their own comfort and leisure, a foe lurked in the depths of space. A creeping, crawling horror known as [[The Swarm]]. These monsters landed across a significant quadrant of the planet inside mucus covered sacks the size of buildings. When the Skion went to investigate they found only the teeth and claws of an enemy who did not negotiate or give quarter.
In desperation, the Skion broke open their armories, reprogrammed the Matter Machines, and made war once more. [[The Swarm]] cared not for territory or glory but only for violence and they brought death to the Skion. The old tactics wouldn't work on this enemy and Skion reeled. Fortunately, the Skion mega structures proved difficult for [[The Swarm]] to clear efficiently, giving the once-peaceful Skion time to formulate a new strategy.

Eylia and Solia had not been touched by [[The Swarm]] and proved invaluable in the defense. The Matter Machines on the moons endlessly belched the resources of war. With fire and magik they made armor, guns, and tanks. The last of the generals drew a final line around the planet and ordered it to be cleared and fortified. Buildings were torn down and repurposed, trenches were dug, barbed wire was placed, bunkers were built. Line after line of defense was constructed, the entire population drafted into service. In ten days the line was finished, spanning the entire horizon. The fighting was fierce when [[The Swarm]] were finally finished chewing through the unguarded section of the planet. With vast numbers they charged into the bullets and blades of the new Skion war machine, overwhelming it piece by piece.

Days of constant fighting wore on, the death toll reaching impossible numbers. Blood soaked the ground for miles. Slowly the charge of [[The Swarm]] was checked, halted by never ending artillery and the desperate will of uncountable warriors. When day dawned on the thirty-first day there were no foes to kill: the enemy had retreated. Now it was the Skion's turn to advance. They purged the blight from their homeworld with pitiless violence until every stone had been turned and every hideout torched.

===The Awakening===

After surviving the horrors of the first war the Skion looked to the stars. It would not take long to repair the damage to their world, but now the people wanted more. They wanted the stars. The warrior spirit of the Skion was reawakened. Shipyards were built and factories reopened. The Skion did not need to be pressed into service, they did so gladly. They would bring war to the stars and increase their influence. The Republic stepped down and a new government was created with one goal: Advance into the stars and bring war.
The Skion Interstellar Domain was born.

==Government==

The Skion Interstellar Domain is a Constitutional Autocracy, where a single ruler has total control with limits to their power defined by the Skion Constitution. The constitution itself merely places the responsibility for war preparations on the Autocrat, referred to as The Serenity, and gives them total control provided they are active in seeking out daring and dangerous new interstellar conflicts. The remainder of the document deals primarily with the creation of the War Sovereignty, whose role is to check the power of The Serenity.

====The Serenity====

The Serenity has absolute authority over Skion, except for the privileges and rights afforded to the War Sovereignty. A Serenity is selected by the people of Skion in an election comprised of candidates from the previous Serenity's advisors. However, the War Sovereignty is responsible for choosing a new Serenity in the event they cannot make war effectively. Skion is still under the rule of the First Serenity, so only time will tell if the procedures will be followed. Since the Skion collective consciousness is so determined to make war on foreign foes, it is not likely a coup attempt would be successful.

The Serenity is also responsible for appointing a council of advisors to assist in administrative and executive matters, and also for appointing a war council to command Skion's fleets and armies.

The current Serenity is referred to as His Serenity.

====The War Sovereignty====

The primary responsibility of the War Sovereignty is to check the power of The Serenity and ensure they are acting in good faith within the mandates set by the constitution. If the Serenity is no longer capable or interested in making war, it is the Soveriegn's duty to remove The Serenity from power and appoint a new one. The Sovereign is also expected to be proficient in the use of battle magic. Beyond this, the Sovereign is granted a number of specific rights:
Right to First Blood: The Sovereign, or their fleet, is granted the first attack on an enemy after the declaration of war.
Right to Independence: The Serenity or their commanders cannot give orders to the Sovereignty and the Sovereign is granted their own fleet for the purposes of making war.

The current Sovereign is War Queen Skulna.

== Skion Society ==

Skion is the homeplanet for the Skion people, but the culture also encompasses the two moons that orbit the planet: Eylia and Solia. Collectively they are referred to as the Skion, though the lunar culture can be drastically different from the main planet. The moons were the great bastions during The First War, suffering no damage as [[The Swarm]] only landed on Skion itself. Their armaments and colors are often different, highlighting the proud lunar heritage though the differences can be very small. The population of both moons is dwarved by the trillions that call Skion home, but they are always a force to be reckoned with.

After The First War all of Skion society has been swept with the fever for action. Nobody returned home from the war, insisting on remaining in service to subjugate the stars. The Great Peace lingers on the collective consciousness but the Skion pay it no heed.

==History==

Skion unified as a planet in the distant past after a series of international conflicts that were close to bleeding the planet dry. It was in this time of crisis that the leaders of the great nations put aside their conflicts and squabbles to search for a solution to their dwindling resources. In those days Skion was not capable of more than rudimentary space flight and the colonies on the moons Eylia and Solia were still many years away. The unification council convened to determine the course of Skion politics and industry in order to save their planet and themselves. The solution: magik. A number of powerful magik users demonstrated that magik was more than parlor tricks and fun, it was also industrial. It was decided that education and research into the magikal arts was a priority and it led to a number of engines that changed Skion forever: Matter Machines. Matter Machines saved Old Skion by using magik to create any item or object imaginable. Soon they would be produced in massive quantities, from small appliances for consumer use to factories that could refill the oceans. The first steps to utopia were created with the Matter Machines, boosting technology until the two were nearly inseparable, the pillars on which their new world would be built.

In time, the planet would settle into a period of peace and ultra-prosperity. A Grand Republic was created to handle administrative matters, doing so satisfactorily for such a populous planet. As scarcity plummeted, literacy and the arts soared. The moons of Skion were terraformed and colonized, hinting at a great expansion into the stars. However, nobody wanted to go. The ships and material were ready to fly into the depths of space, but few wanted to leave the absolute comfort of Skion. Though many daring adventruers were ready to leave, there wasn't enough ancillary staff and support to make the missions happen. The desire to leave Skion faded away, piece by piece, until it was forgotten entirely.

Mega structures rose into the skyline. Disease and poverty vanished. The Great Peace seemed without end.

===The First War===

As the Skion looked less and less to the stars and more and more to their own comfort and leisure, a foe lurked in the depths of space. A creeping, crawling horror known as [[The Swarm]]. These monsters landed across a significant quadrant of the planet inside mucus covered sacks the size of buildings.

==History==

Skion unified as a planet in the distant past after a series of international conflicts that were close to bleeding the planet dry. It was in this time of crisis that the leaders of the great nations put aside their conflicts and squabbles to search for a solution to their dwindling resources. In those days Skion was not capable of more than rudimentary space flight and the colonies on the moons Eylia and Solia were still many years away. The unification council convened to determine the course of Skion politics and industry in order to save their planet and themselves. The solution: magik. A number of powerful magik users demonstrated that magik was more than parlor tricks and fun, it was also industrial. It was decided that education and research into the magikal arts was a priority and it led to a number of engines that changed Skion forever: Matter Machines. Matter Machines saved Old Skion by using magik to create any item or object imaginable. Soon they would be produced in massive quantities, from small appliances for consumer use to factories that could refill the oceans. The first steps to utopia were created with the Matter Machines, boosting technology until the two were nearly inseparable, the pillars on which their new world would be built.

In time, the planet would settle into a period of peace and ultra-prosperity. A Grand Republic was created to handle administrative matters, doing so satisfactorily for such a populous planet. As scarcity plummeted, literacy and the arts soared. The moons of Skion were terraformed and colonized, hinting at a great expansion into the stars. However, nobody wanted to go. The ships and material were ready to fly into the depths of space, but few wanted to leave the absolute comfort of Skion. Though many daring adventruers were ready to leave, there wasn't enough ancillary staff and support to make the missions happen. The desire to leave Skion faded away, piece by piece, until it was forgotten entirely.

Mega structures rose into the skyline. Disease and poverty vanished. The Great Peace seemed without end.

===The First War===

As the Skion looked less and less to the stars and more and more to their own comfort and leisure, a foe lurked in the depths of space. A creeping, crawling horror known as [[The Swarm]]. These monsters landed across a significant quadrant of the planet inside mucus covered sacks the size of buildings. When the Skion went to investigate they found only the teeth and claws of an enemy who did not negotiate or give quarter.
In desperation, the Skion broke open their armories, reprogrammed the Matter Machines, and made war once more. [[The Swarm]] cared not for territory or glory but only for violence and they brought death to the Skion. The old tactics wouldn't work on this enemy and Skion reeled. Fortunately, the Skion mega structures proved difficult for [[The Swarm]] to clear efficiently, giving the once-peaceful Skion time to formulate a new strategy.

Eylia and Solia had not been touched by [[The Swarm]] and proved invaluable in the defense. The Matter Machines on the moons endlessly belched the resources of war. With fire and magik they made armor, guns, and tanks. The last of the generals drew a final line around the planet and ordered it to be cleared and fortified. Buildings were torn down and repurposed, trenches were dug, barbed wire was placed, bunkers were built. Line after line of defense was constructed, the entire population drafted into service. In ten days the line was finished, spanning the entire horizon. The fighting was fierce when [[The Swarm]] were finally finished chewing through the unguarded section of the planet. With vast numbers they charged into the bullets and blades of the new Skion war machine, overwhelming it piece by piece.

Days of constant fighting wore on, the death toll reaching impossible numbers. Blood soaked the ground for miles. Slowly the charge of [[The Swarm]] was checked, halted by never ending artillery and the desperate will of uncountable warriors. When day dawned on the thirty-first day there were no foes to kill: the enemy had retreated. Now it was the Skion's turn to advance. They purged the blight from their homeworld with pitiless violence until every stone had been turned and every hideout torched.

===The Awakening===

After surviving the horrors of the first war the Skion looked to the stars. It would not take long to repair the damage to their world, but now the people wanted more. They wanted the stars. The warrior spirit of the Skion was reawakened. Shipyards were built and factories reopened. The Skion did not need to be pressed into service, they did so gladly. They would bring war to the stars and increase their influence. The Republic stepped down and a new government was created with one goal: Advance into the stars and bring war.
The Skion Interstellar Domain was born.

==Government==

The Skion Interstellar Domain is a Constitutional Autocracy, where a single ruler has total control with limits to their power defined by the Skion Constitution. The constitution itself merely places the responsibility for war preparations on the Autocrat, referred to as The Serenity, and gives them total control provided they are active in seeking out daring and dangerous new interstellar conflicts. The remainder of the document deals primarily with the creation of the War Sovereignty, whose role is to check the power of The Serenity.

====The Serenity====

The Serenity has absolute authority over Skion, except for the privileges and rights afforded to the War Sovereignty. A Serenity is selected by the people of Skion in an election comprised of candidates from the previous Serenity's advisors. However, the War Sovereignty is responsible for choosing a new Serenity in the event they cannot make war effectively. Skion is still under the rule of the First Serenity, so only time will tell if the procedures will be followed. Since the Skion collective consciousness is so determined to make war on foreign foes, it is not likely a coup attempt would be successful.

The Serenity is also responsible for appointing a council of advisors to assist in administrative and executive matters, and also for appointing a war council to command Skion's fleets and armies.

The current Serenity is referred to as His Serenity.

====The War Sovereignty====

The primary responsibility of the War Sovereignty is to check the power of The Serenity and ensure they are acting in good faith within the mandates set by the constitution. If the Serenity is no longer capable or interested in making war, it is the Soveriegn's duty to remove The Serenity from power and appoint a new one. The Sovereign is also expected to be proficient in the use of battle magic. Beyond this, the Sovereign is granted a number of specific rights:
Right to First Blood: The Sovereign, or their fleet, is granted the first attack on an enemy after the declaration of war.
Right to Independence: The Serenity or their commanders cannot give orders to the Sovereignty and the Sovereign is granted their own fleet for the purposes of making war.

The current Sovereign is War Queen Skulna.

== Skion Society ==

Skion is the homeplanet for the Skion people, but the culture also encompasses the two moons that orbit the planet: Eylia and Solia. Collectively they are referred to as the Skion, though the lunar culture can be drastically different from the main planet. The moons were the great bastions during The First War, suffering no damage as [[The Swarm]] only landed on Skion itself. Their armaments and colors are often different, highlighting the proud lunar heritage though the differences can be very small. The population of both moons is dwarved by the trillions that call Skion home, but they are always a force to be reckoned with.

After The First War all of Skion society has been swept with the fever for action. Nobody returned home from the war, insisting on remaining in service to subjugate the stars. The Great Peace lingers on the collective consciousness but the Skion pay it no heed.

==History==

Skion unified as a planet in the distant past after a series of international conflicts that were close to bleeding the planet dry. It was in this time of crisis that the leaders of the great nations put aside their conflicts and squabbles to search for a solution to their dwindling resources. In those days Skion was not capable of more than rudimentary space flight and the colonies on the moons Eylia and Solia were still many years away. The unification council convened to determine the course of Skion politics and industry in order to save their planet and themselves. The solution: magik. A number of powerful magik users demonstrated that magik was more than parlor tricks and fun, it was also industrial. It was decided that education and research into the magikal arts was a priority and it led to a number of engines that changed Skion forever: Matter Machines. Matter Machines saved Old Skion by using magik to create any item or object imaginable. Soon they would be produced in massive quantities, from small appliances for consumer use to factories that could refill the oceans. The first steps to utopia were created with the Matter Machines, boosting technology until the two were nearly inseparable, the pillars on which their new world would be built.

In time, the planet would settle into a period of peace and ultra-prosperity. A Grand Republic was created to handle administrative matters, doing so satisfactorily for such a populous planet. As scarcity plummeted, literacy and the arts soared. The moons of Skion were terraformed and colonized, hinting at a great expansion into the stars. However, nobody wanted to go. The ships and material were ready to fly into the depths of space, but few wanted to leave the absolute comfort of Skion. Though many daring adventruers were ready to leave, there wasn't enough ancillary staff and support to make the missions happen. The desire to leave Skion faded away, piece by piece, until it was forgotten entirely.

Mega structures rose into the skyline. Disease and poverty vanished. The Great Peace seemed without end.

===The First War===

As the Skion looked less and less to the stars and more and more to their own comfort and leisure, a foe lurked in the depths of space. A creeping, crawling horror known as [[The Swarm]]. These monsters landed across a significant quadrant of the planet inside mucus covered sacks the size of buildings. When the Skion went to investigate they found only the teeth and claws of an enemy who did not negotiate or give quarter.
In desperation, the Skion broke open their armories, reprogrammed the Matter Machines, and made war once more. [[The Swarm]] cared not for territory or glory but only for violence and they brought death to the Skion. The old tactics wouldn't work on this enemy and Skion reeled. Fortunately, the Skion mega structures proved difficult for [[The Swarm]] to clear efficiently, giving the once-peaceful Skion time to formulate a new strategy.

Eylia and Solia had not been touched by [[The Swarm]] and proved invaluable in the defense. The Matter Machines on the moons endlessly belched the resources of war. With fire and magik they made armor, guns, and tanks. The last of the generals drew a final line around the planet and ordered it to be cleared and fortified. Buildings were torn down and repurposed, trenches were dug, barbed wire was placed, bunkers were built. Line after line of defense was constructed, the entire population drafted into service. In ten days the line was finished, spanning the entire horizon. The fighting was fierce when [[The Swarm]] were finally finished chewing through the unguarded section of the planet. With vast numbers they charged into the bullets and blades of the new Skion war machine, overwhelming it piece by piece.

Days of constant fighting wore on, the death toll reaching impossible numbers. Blood soaked the ground for miles. Slowly the charge of [[The Swarm]] was checked, halted by never ending artillery and the desperate will of uncountable warriors. When day dawned on the thirty-first day there were no foes to kill: the enemy had retreated. Now it was the Skion's turn to advance. They purged the blight from their homeworld with pitiless violence until every stone had been turned and every hideout torched.

===The Awakening===

After surviving the horrors of the first war the Skion looked to the stars. It would not take long to repair the damage to their world, but now the people wanted more. They wanted the stars. The warrior spirit of the Skion was reawakened. Shipyards were built and factories reopened. The Skion did not need to be pressed into service, they did so gladly. They would bring war to the stars and increase their influence. The Republic stepped down and a new government was created with one goal: Advance into the stars and bring war.
The Skion Interstellar Domain was born.

==Government==

The Skion Interstellar Domain is a Constitutional Autocracy, where a single ruler has total control with limits to their power defined by the Skion Constitution. The constitution itself merely places the responsibility for war preparations on the Autocrat, referred to as The Serenity, and gives them total control provided they are active in seeking out daring and dangerous new interstellar conflicts. The remainder of the document deals primarily with the creation of the War Sovereignty, whose role is to check the power of The Serenity.

====The Serenity====

The Serenity has absolute authority over Skion, except for the privileges and rights afforded to the War Sovereignty. A Serenity is selected by the people of Skion in an election comprised of candidates from the previous Serenity's advisors. However, the War Sovereignty is responsible for choosing a new Serenity in the event they cannot make war effectively. Skion is still under the rule of the First Serenity, so only time will tell if the procedures will be followed. Since the Skion collective consciousness is so determined to make war on foreign foes, it is not likely a coup attempt would be successful.

The Serenity is also responsible for appointing a council of advisors to assist in administrative and executive matters, and also for appointing a war council to command Skion's fleets and armies.

The current Serenity is referred to as His Serenity.

====The War Sovereignty====

The primary responsibility of the War Sovereignty is to check the power of The Serenity and ensure they are acting in good faith within the mandates set by the constitution. If the Serenity is no longer capable or interested in making war, it is the Soveriegn's duty to remove The Serenity from power and appoint a new one. The Sovereign is also expected to be proficient in the use of battle magic. Beyond this, the Sovereign is granted a number of specific rights:
Right to First Blood: The Sovereign, or their fleet, is granted the first attack on an enemy after the declaration of war.
Right to Independence: The Serenity or their commanders cannot give orders to the Sovereignty and the Sovereign is granted their own fleet for the purposes of making war.

The current Sovereign is War Queen Skulna.

== Skion Society ==

Skion is the homeplanet for the Skion people, but the culture also encompasses the two moons that orbit the planet: Eylia and Solia. Collectively they are referred to as the Skion, though the lunar culture can be drastically different from the main planet. The moons were the great bastions during The First War, suffering no damage as [[The Swarm]] only landed on Skion itself. Their armaments and colors are often different, highlighting the proud lunar heritage though the differences can be very small. The population of both moons is dwarved by the trillions that call Skion home, but they are always a force to be reckoned with.

After The First War all of Skion society has been swept with the fever for action. Nobody returned home from the war, insisting on remaining in service to subjugate the stars. The Great Peace lingers on the collective consciousness but the Skion pay it no heed.

The Serenity has absolute authority over Skion, except for the privileges and rights afforded to the War Sovereignty. A Serenity is selected by the people of Skion in an election comprised of candidates from the previous Serenity's advisors. However, the War Sovereignty is responsible for choosing a new Serenity in the event they cannot make war effectively. Skion is still under the rule of the First Serenity, so only time will tell if the procedures will be followed. Since the Skion collective consciousness is so determined to make war on foreign foes, it is not likely a coup attempt would be successful.

The Serenity is also responsible for appointing a council of advisors to assist in administrative and executive matters, and also for appointing a war council to command Skion's fleets and armies.

The current Serenity is referred to as His Serenity.

====The War Sovereignty====

The primary responsibility of the War Sovereignty is to check the power of The Serenity and ensure they are acting in good faith within the mandates set by the constitution. If the Serenity is no longer capable or interested in making war, it is the Soveriegn's duty to remove The Serenity from power and appoint a new one. The Sovereign is also expected to be proficient in the use of battle magic. Beyond this, the Sovereign is granted a number of specific rights:
Right to First Blood: The Sovereign, or their fleet, is granted the first attack on an enemy after the declaration of war.
Right to Independence: The Serenity or their commanders cannot give orders to the Sovereignty and the Sovereign is granted their own fleet for the purposes of making war.

The current Sovereign is War Queen Skulna.

== Skion Society ==

Skion is the homeplanet for the Skion people, but the culture also encompasses the two moons that orbit the planet: Eylia and Solia. Collectively they are referred to as the Skion, though the lunar culture can be drastically different from the main planet. The moons were the great bastions during The First War, suffering no damage as [[The Swarm]] only landed on Skion itself. Their armaments and colors are often different, highlighting the proud lunar heritage though the differences can be very small. The population of both moons is dwarved by the trillions that call Skion home, but they are always a force to be reckoned with.

After The First War all of Skion society has been swept with the fever for action. Nobody returned home from the war, insisting on remaining in service to subjugate the stars. The Great Peace lingers on the collective consciousness but the Skion pay it no heed.

==History==

Skion unified as a planet in the distant past after a series of international conflicts that were close to bleeding the planet dry. It was in this time of crisis that the leaders of the great nations put aside their conflicts and squabbles to search for a solution to their dwindling resources. In those days Skion was not capable of more than rudimentary space flight and the colonies on the moons Eylia and Solia were still many years away. The unification council convened to determine the course of Skion politics and industry in order to save their planet and themselves. The solution: magik. A number of powerful magik users demonstrated that magik was more than parlor tricks and fun, it was also industrial. It was decided that education and research into the magikal arts was a priority and it led to a number of engines that changed Skion forever: Matter Machines. Matter Machines saved Old Skion by using magik to create any item or object imaginable. Soon they would be produced in massive quantities, from small appliances for consumer use to factories that could refill the oceans. The first steps to utopia were created with the Matter Machines, boosting technology until the two were nearly inseparable, the pillars on which their new world would be built.

In time, the planet would settle into a period of peace and ultra-prosperity. A Grand Republic was created to handle administrative matters, doing so satisfactorily for such a populous planet. As scarcity plummeted, literacy and the arts soared. The moons of Skion were terraformed and colonized, hinting at a great expansion into the stars. However, nobody wanted to go. The ships and material were ready to fly into the depths of space, but few wanted to leave the absolute comfort of Skion. Though many daring adventruers were ready to leave, there wasn't enough ancillary staff and support to make the missions happen. The desire to leave Skion faded away, piece by piece, until it was forgotten entirely.

Mega structures rose into the skyline. Disease and poverty vanished. The Great Peace seemed without end.

===The First War===

As the Skion looked less and less to the stars and more and more to their own comfort and leisure, a foe lurked in the depths of space. A creeping, crawling horror known as [[The Swarm]]. These monsters landed across a significant quadrant of the planet inside mucus covered sacks the size of buildings. When the Skion went to investigate they found only the teeth and claws of an enemy who did not negotiate or give quarter.
In desperation, the Skion broke open their armories, reprogrammed the Matter Machines, and made war once more. [[The Swarm]] cared not for territory or glory but only for violence and they brought death to the Skion. The old tactics wouldn't work on this enemy and Skion reeled. Fortunately, the Skion mega structures proved difficult for [[The Swarm]] to clear efficiently, giving the once-peaceful Skion time to formulate a new strategy.

Eylia and Solia had not been touched by [[The Swarm]] and proved invaluable in the defense. The Matter Machines on the moons endlessly belched the resources of war. With fire and magik they made armor, guns, and tanks. The last of the generals drew a final line around the planet and ordered it to be cleared and fortified. Buildings were torn down and repurposed, trenches were dug, barbed wire was placed, bunkers were built. Line after line of defense was constructed, the entire population drafted into service. In ten days the line was finished, spanning the entire horizon. The fighting was fierce when [[The Swarm]] were finally finished chewing through the unguarded section of the planet. With vast numbers they charged into the bullets and blades of the new Skion war machine, overwhelming it piece by piece.

Days of constant fighting wore on, the death toll reaching impossible numbers. Blood soaked the ground for miles. Slowly the charge of [[The Swarm]] was checked, halted by never ending artillery and the desperate will of uncountable warriors. When day dawned on the thirty-first day there were no foes to kill: the enemy had retreated. Now it was the Skion's turn to advance. They purged the blight from their homeworld with pitiless violence until every stone had been turned and every hideout torched.

===The Awakening===

After surviving the horrors of the first war the Skion looked to the stars. It would not take long to repair the damage to their world, but now the people wanted more. They wanted the stars. The warrior spirit of the Skion was reawakened. Shipyards were built and factories reopened. The Skion did not need to be pressed into service, they did so gladly. They would bring war to the stars and increase their influence. The Republic stepped down and a new government was created with one goal: Advance into the stars and bring war.
The Skion Interstellar Domain was born.

==Government==

The Skion Interstellar Domain is a Constitutional Autocracy, where a single ruler has total control with limits to their power defined by the Skion Constitution. The constitution itself merely places the responsibility for war preparations on the Autocrat, referred to as The Serenity, and gives them total control provided they are active in seeking out daring and dangerous new interstellar conflicts. The remainder of the document deals primarily with the creation of the War Sovereignty, whose role is to check the power of The Serenity.

====The Serenity====

The Serenity has absolute authority over Skion, except for the privileges and rights afforded to the War Sovereignty. A Serenity is selected by the people of Skion in an election comprised of candidates from the previous Serenity's advisors. However, the War Sovereignty is responsible for choosing a new Serenity in the event they cannot make war effectively. Skion is still under the rule of the First Serenity, so only time will tell if the procedures will be followed. Since the Skion collective consciousness is so determined to make war on foreign foes, it is not likely a coup attempt would be successful.

The Serenity is also responsible for appointing a council of advisors to assist in administrative and executive matters, and also for appointing a war council to command Skion's fleets and armies.

The current Serenity is referred to as His Serenity.

====The War Sovereignty====

The primary responsibility of the War Sovereignty is to check the power of The Serenity and ensure they are acting in good faith within the mandates set by the constitution. If the Serenity is no longer capable or interested in making war, it is the Soveriegn's duty to remove The Serenity from power and appoint a new one. The Sovereign is also expected to be proficient in the use of battle magic. Beyond this, the Sovereign is granted a number of specific rights:
Right to First Blood: The Sovereign, or their fleet, is granted the first attack on an enemy after the declaration of war.
Right to Independence: The Serenity or their commanders cannot give orders to the Sovereignty and the Sovereign is granted their own fleet for the purposes of making war.

The current Sovereign is War Queen Skulna.

==History==

Skion unified as a planet in the distant past after a series of international conflicts that were close to bleeding the planet dry. It was in this time of crisis that the leaders of the great nations put aside their conflicts and squabbles to search for a solution to their dwindling resources. In those days Skion was not capable of more than rudimentary space flight and the colonies on the moons Eylia and Solia were still many years away. The unification council convened to determine the course of Skion politics and industry in order to save their planet and themselves. The solution: magik. A number of powerful magik users demonstrated that magik was more than parlor tricks and fun, it was also industrial. It was decided that education and research into the magikal arts was a priority and it led to a number of engines that changed Skion forever: Matter Machines. Matter Machines saved Old Skion by using magik to create any item or object imaginable. Soon they would be produced in massive quantities, from small appliances for consumer use to factories that could refill the oceans. The first steps to utopia were created with the Matter Machines, boosting technology until the two were nearly inseparable, the pillars on which their new world would be built.

In time, the planet would settle into a period of peace and ultra-prosperity. A Grand Republic was created to handle administrative matters, doing so satisfactorily for such a populous planet. As scarcity plummeted, literacy and the arts soared. The moons of Skion were terraformed and colonized, hinting at a great expansion into the stars. However, nobody wanted to go. The ships and material were ready to fly into the depths of space, but few wanted to leave the absolute comfort of Skion. Though many daring adventruers were ready to leave, there wasn't enough ancillary staff and support to make the missions happen. The desire to leave Skion faded away, piece by piece, until it was forgotten entirely.

Mega structures rose into the skyline. Disease and poverty vanished. The Great Peace seemed without end.

===The First War===

As the Skion looked less and less to the stars and more and more to their own comfort and leisure, a foe lurked in the depths of space. A creeping, crawling horror known as [[The Swarm]]. These monsters landed across a significant quadrant of the planet inside mucus covered sacks the size of buildings. When the Skion went to investigate they found only the teeth and claws of an enemy who did not negotiate or give quarter.
In desperation, the Skion broke open their armories, reprogrammed the Matter Machines, and made war once more. [[The Swarm]] cared not for territory or glory but only for violence and they brought death to the Skion. The old tactics wouldn't work on this enemy and Skion reeled. Fortunately, the Skion mega structures proved difficult for [[The Swarm]] to clear efficiently, giving the once-peaceful Skion time to formulate a new strategy.

Eylia and Solia had not been touched by [[The Swarm]] and proved invaluable in the defense. The Matter Machines on the moons endlessly belched the resources of war. With fire and magik they made armor, guns, and tanks. The last of the generals drew a final line around the planet and ordered it to be cleared and fortified. Buildings were torn down and repurposed, trenches were dug, barbed wire was placed, bunkers were built. Line after line of defense was constructed, the entire population drafted into service. In ten days the line was finished, spanning the entire horizon. The fighting was fierce when [[The Swarm]] were finally finished chewing through the unguarded section of the planet. With vast numbers they charged into the bullets and blades of the new Skion war machine, overwhelming it piece by piece.

Days of constant fighting wore on, the death toll reaching impossible numbers. Blood soaked the ground for miles. Slowly the charge of [[The Swarm]] was checked, halted by never ending artillery and the desperate will of uncountable warriors. When day dawned on the thirty-first day there were no foes to kill: the enemy had retreated. Now it was the Skion's turn to advance. They purged the blight from their homeworld with pitiless violence until every stone had been turned and every hideout torched.

===The Awakening===

After surviving the horrors of the first war the Skion looked to the stars. It would not take long to repair the damage to their world, but now the people wanted more. They wanted the stars. The warrior spirit of the Skion was reawakened. Shipyards were built and factories reopened. The Skion did not need to be pressed into service, they did so gladly. They would bring war to the stars and increase their influence. The Republic stepped down and a new government was created with one goal: Advance into the stars and bring war.
The Skion Interstellar Domain was born.

==Government==

The Skion Interstellar Domain is a Constitutional Autocracy, where a single ruler has total control with limits to their power defined by the Skion Constitution. The constitution itself merely places the responsibility for war preparations on the Autocrat, referred to as The Serenity, and gives them total control provided they are active in seeking out daring and dangerous new interstellar conflicts. The remainder of the document deals primarily with the creation of the War Sovereignty, whose role is to check the power of The Serenity.

====The Serenity====

The Serenity has absolute authority over Skion, except for the privileges and rights afforded to the War Sovereignty. A Serenity is selected by the people of Skion in an election comprised of candidates from the previous Serenity's advisors. However, the War Sovereignty is responsible for choosing a new Serenity in the event they cannot make war effectively. Skion is still under the rule of the First Serenity, so only time will tell if the procedures will be followed. Since the Skion collective consciousness is so determined to make war on foreign foes, it is not likely a coup attempt would be successful.

The Serenity is also responsible for appointing a council of advisors to assist in administrative and executive matters, and also for appointing a war council to command Skion's fleets and armies.

The current Serenity is referred to as His Serenity.

====The War Sovereignty====

The primary responsibility of the War Sovereignty is to check the power of The Serenity and ensure they are acting in good faith within the mandates set by the constitution. If the Serenity is no longer capable or interested in making war, it is the Soveriegn's duty to remove The Serenity from power and appoint a new one. The Sovereign is also expected to be proficient in the use of battle magic. Beyond this, the Sovereign is granted a number of specific rights:
Right to First Blood: The Sovereign, or their fleet, is granted the first attack on an enemy after the declaration of war.
Right to Independence: The Serenity or their commanders cannot give orders to the Sovereignty and the Sovereign is granted their own fleet for the purposes of making war.

The current Sovereign is War Queen Skulna.

== Skion Society ==
[[File:SkionTank.jpg|300px|thumb|frame|right|A Skion Thunder Templar tank ready for action]]

Skion is the homeplanet for the Skion people, but the culture also encompasses the two moons that orbit the planet: Eylia and Solia. Collectively they are referred to as the Skion, though the lunar culture can be drastically different from the main planet. The moons were the great bastions during The First War, suffering no damage as [[The Swarm]] only landed on Skion itself. Their armaments and colors are often different, highlighting the proud lunar heritage though the differences can be very small. The population of both moons is dwarved by the trillions that call Skion home, but they are always a force to be reckoned with.

After The First War all of Skion society has been swept with the fever for action. Nobody returned home from the war, insisting on remaining in service to subjugate the stars. The Great Peace lingers on the collective consciousness but the Skion pay it no heed.

===The First War===

As the Skion looked less and less to the stars and more and more to their own comfort and leisure, a foe lurked in the depths of space. A creeping, crawling horror known as [[The Swarm]]. These monsters landed across a significant quadrant of the planet inside mucus covered sacks the size of buildings. When the Skion went to investigate they found only the teeth and claws of an enemy who did not negotiate or give quarter.
In desperation, the Skion broke open their armories, reprogrammed the Matter Machines, and made war once more. [[The Swarm]] cared not for territory or glory but only for violence and they brought death to the Skion. The old tactics wouldn't work on this enemy and Skion reeled. Fortunately, the Skion mega structures proved difficult for [[The Swarm]] to clear efficiently, giving the once-peaceful Skion time to formulate a new strategy.

Eylia and Solia had not been touched by [[The Swarm]] and proved invaluable in the defense. The Matter Machines on the moons endlessly belched the resources of war. With fire and magik they made armor, guns, and tanks. The last of the generals drew a final line around the planet and ordered it to be cleared and fortified. Buildings were torn down and repurposed, trenches were dug, barbed wire was placed, bunkers were built. Line after line of defense was constructed, the entire population drafted into service. In ten days the line was finished, spanning the entire horizon. The fighting was fierce when [[The Swarm]] were finally finished chewing through the unguarded section of the planet. With vast numbers they charged into the bullets and blades of the new Skion war machine, overwhelming it piece by piece.

Days of constant fighting wore on, the death toll reaching impossible numbers. Blood soaked the ground for miles. Slowly the charge of [[The Swarm]] was checked, halted by never ending artillery and the desperate will of uncountable warriors. When day dawned on the thirty-first day there were no foes to kill: the enemy had retreated. Now it was the Skion's turn to advance. They purged the blight from their homeworld with pitiless violence until every stone had been turned and every hideout torched.

===The Awakening===

After surviving the horrors of the first war the Skion looked to the stars. It would not take long to repair the damage to their world, but now the people wanted more. They wanted the stars. The warrior spirit of the Skion was reawakened. Shipyards were built and factories reopened. The Skion did not need to be pressed into service, they did so gladly. They would bring war to the stars and increase their influence. The Republic stepped down and a new government was created with one goal: Advance into the stars and bring war.
The Skion Interstellar Domain was born.

==Government==

The Skion Interstellar Domain is a Constitutional Autocracy, where a single ruler has total control with limits to their power defined by the Skion Constitution. The constitution itself merely places the responsibility for war preparations on the Autocrat, referred to as The Serenity, and gives them total control provided they are active in seeking out daring and dangerous new interstellar conflicts. The remainder of the document deals primarily with the creation of the War Sovereignty, whose role is to check the power of The Serenity.

====The Serenity====

The Serenity has absolute authority over Skion, except for the privileges and rights afforded to the War Sovereignty. A Serenity is selected by the people of Skion in an election comprised of candidates from the previous Serenity's advisors. However, the War Sovereignty is responsible for choosing a new Serenity in the event they cannot make war effectively. Skion is still under the rule of the First Serenity, so only time will tell if the procedures will be followed. Since the Skion collective consciousness is so determined to make war on foreign foes, it is not likely a coup attempt would be successful.

The Serenity is also responsible for appointing a council of advisors to assist in administrative and executive matters, and also for appointing a war council to command Skion's fleets and armies.

The current Serenity is referred to as His Serenity.

====The War Sovereignty====

The primary responsibility of the War Sovereignty is to check the power of The Serenity and ensure they are acting in good faith within the mandates set by the constitution. If the Serenity is no longer capable or interested in making war, it is the Soveriegn's duty to remove The Serenity from power and appoint a new one. The Sovereign is also expected to be proficient in the use of battle magic. Beyond this, the Sovereign is granted a number of specific rights:
Right to First Blood: The Sovereign, or their fleet, is granted the first attack on an enemy after the declaration of war.
Right to Independence: The Serenity or their commanders cannot give orders to the Sovereignty and the Sovereign is granted their own fleet for the purposes of making war.

The current Sovereign is War Queen Skulna.

== Skion Society ==
[[File:SkionTank.jpg|300px|thumb|frame|right|A Skion Thunder Templar tank ready for action]]

Skion is the homeplanet for the Skion people, but the culture also encompasses the two moons that orbit the planet: Eylia and Solia. Collectively they are referred to as the Skion, though the lunar culture can be drastically different from the main planet. The moons were the great bastions during The First War, suffering no damage as [[The Swarm]] only landed on Skion itself. Their armaments and colors are often different, highlighting the proud lunar heritage though the differences can be very small. The population of both moons is dwarved by the trillions that call Skion home, but they are always a force to be reckoned with.

After The First War all of Skion society has been swept with the fever for action. Nobody returned home from the war, insisting on remaining in service to subjugate the stars. The Great Peace lingers on the collective consciousness but the Skion pay it no heed.

==History==

Skion unified as a planet in the distant past after a series of international conflicts that were close to bleeding the planet dry. It was in this time of crisis that the leaders of the great nations put aside their conflicts and squabbles to search for a solution to their dwindling resources. In those days Skion was not capable of more than rudimentary space flight and the colonies on the moons Eylia and Solia were still many years away. The unification council convened to determine the course of Skion politics and industry in order to save their planet and themselves. The solution: magik. A number of powerful magik users demonstrated that magik was more than parlor tricks and fun, it was also industrial. It was decided that education and research into the magikal arts was a priority and it led to a number of engines that changed Skion forever: Matter Machines. Matter Machines saved Old Skion by using magik to create any item or object imaginable. Soon they would be produced in massive quantities, from small appliances for consumer use to factories that could refill the oceans. The first steps to utopia were created with the Matter Machines, boosting technology until the two were nearly inseparable, the pillars on which their new world would be built.

In time, the planet would settle into a period of peace and ultra-prosperity. A Grand Republic was created to handle administrative matters, doing so satisfactorily for such a populous planet. As scarcity plummeted, literacy and the arts soared. The moons of Skion were terraformed and colonized, hinting at a great expansion into the stars. However, nobody wanted to go. The ships and material were ready to fly into the depths of space, but few wanted to leave the absolute comfort of Skion. Though many daring adventruers were ready to leave, there wasn't enough ancillary staff and support to make the missions happen. The desire to leave Skion faded away, piece by piece, until it was forgotten entirely.

Mega structures rose into the skyline. Disease and poverty vanished. The Great Peace seemed without end.

===The First War===

As the Skion looked less and less to the stars and more and more to their own comfort and leisure, a foe lurked in the depths of space. A creeping, crawling horror known as [[The Swarm]]. These monsters landed across a significant quadrant of the planet inside mucus covered sacks the size of buildings. When the Skion went to investigate they found only the teeth and claws of an enemy who did not negotiate or give quarter.
In desperation, the Skion broke open their armories, reprogrammed the Matter Machines, and made war once more. [[The Swarm]] cared not for territory or glory but only for violence and they brought death to the Skion. The old tactics wouldn't work on this enemy and Skion reeled. Fortunately, the Skion mega structures proved difficult for [[The Swarm]] to clear efficiently, giving the once-peaceful Skion time to formulate a new strategy.

Eylia and Solia had not been touched by [[The Swarm]] and proved invaluable in the defense. The Matter Machines on the moons endlessly belched the resources of war. With fire and magik they made armor, guns, and tanks. The last of the generals drew a final line around the planet and ordered it to be cleared and fortified. Buildings were torn down and repurposed, trenches were dug, barbed wire was placed, bunkers were built. Line after line of defense was constructed, the entire population drafted into service. In ten days the line was finished, spanning the entire horizon. The fighting was fierce when [[The Swarm]] were finally finished chewing through the unguarded section of the planet. With vast numbers they charged into the bullets and blades of the new Skion war machine, overwhelming it piece by piece.

Days of constant fighting wore on, the death toll reaching impossible numbers. Blood soaked the ground for miles. Slowly the charge of [[The Swarm]] was checked, halted by never ending artillery and the desperate will of uncountable warriors. When day dawned on the thirty-first day there were no foes to kill: the enemy had retreated. Now it was the Skion's turn to advance.

==History==

Skion unified as a planet in the distant past after a series of international conflicts that were close to bleeding the planet dry. It was in this time of crisis that the leaders of the great nations put aside their conflicts and squabbles to search for a solution to their dwindling resources. In those days Skion was not capable of more than rudimentary space flight and the colonies on the moons Eylia and Solia were still many years away. The unification council convened to determine the course of Skion politics and industry in order to save their planet and themselves. The solution: magik. A number of powerful magik users demonstrated that magik was more than parlor tricks and fun, it was also industrial. It was decided that education and research into the magikal arts was a priority and it led to a number of engines that changed Skion forever: Matter Machines. Matter Machines saved Old Skion by using magik to create any item or object imaginable. Soon they would be produced in massive quantities, from small appliances for consumer use to factories that could refill the oceans. The first steps to utopia were created with the Matter Machines, boosting technology until the two were nearly inseparable, the pillars on which their new world would be built.

In time, the planet would settle into a period of peace and ultra-prosperity. A Grand Republic was created to handle administrative matters, doing so satisfactorily for such a populous planet. As scarcity plummeted, literacy and the arts soared. The moons of Skion were terraformed and colonized, hinting at a great expansion into the stars. However, nobody wanted to go. The ships and material were ready to fly into the depths of space, but few wanted to leave the absolute comfort of Skion. Though many daring adventruers were ready to leave, there wasn't enough ancillary staff and support to make the missions happen. The desire to leave Skion faded away, piece by piece, until it was forgotten entirely.

Mega structures rose into the skyline. Disease and poverty vanished. The Great Peace seemed without end.

===The First War===

As the Skion looked less and less to the stars and more and more to their own comfort and leisure, a foe lurked in the depths of space. A creeping, crawling horror known as [[The Swarm]]. These monsters landed across a significant quadrant of the planet inside mucus covered sacks the size of buildings. When the Skion went to investigate they found only the teeth and claws of an enemy who did not negotiate or give quarter.
In desperation, the Skion broke open their armories, reprogrammed the Matter Machines, and made war once more. [[The Swarm]] cared not for territory or glory but only for violence and they brought death to the Skion. The old tactics wouldn't work on this enemy and Skion reeled. Fortunately, the Skion mega structures proved difficult for [[The Swarm]] to clear efficiently, giving the once-peaceful Skion time to formulate a new strategy.

Eylia and Solia had not been touched by [[The Swarm]] and proved invaluable in the defense. The Matter Machines on the moons endlessly belched the resources of war. With fire and magik they made armor, guns, and tanks. The last of the generals drew a final line around the planet and ordered it to be cleared and fortified. Buildings were torn down and repurposed, trenches were dug, barbed wire was placed, bunkers were built. Line after line of defense was constructed, the entire population drafted into service. In ten days the line was finished, spanning the entire horizon. The fighting was fierce when [[The Swarm]] were finally finished chewing through the unguarded section of the planet. With vast numbers they charged into the bullets and blades of the new Skion war machine, overwhelming it piece by piece.

Days of constant fighting wore on, the death toll reaching impossible numbers. Blood soaked the ground for miles. Slowly the charge of [[The Swarm]] was checked, halted by never ending artillery and the desperate will of uncountable warriors. When day dawned on the thirty-first day there were no foes to kill: the enemy had retreated. Now it was the Skion's turn to advance. They purged the blight from their homeworld with pitiless violence until every stone had been turned and every hideout torched.

===The Awakening===

After surviving the horrors of the first war the Skion looked to the stars. It would not take long to repair the damage to their world, but now the people wanted more. They wanted the stars. The warrior spirit of the Skion was reawakened. Shipyards were built and factories reopened. The Skion did not need to be pressed into service, they did so gladly. They would bring war to the stars and increase their influence. The Republic stepped down and a new government was created with one goal: Advance into the stars and bring war.
The Skion Interstellar Domain was born.

==Government==

The Skion Interstellar Domain is a Constitutional Autocracy, where a single ruler has total control with limits to their power defined by the Skion Constitution. The constitution itself merely places the responsibility for war preparations on the Autocrat, referred to as The Serenity, and gives them total control provided they are active in seeking out daring and dangerous new interstellar conflicts. The remainder of the document deals primarily with the creation of the War Sovereignty, whose role is to check the power of The Serenity.

====The Serenity====

The Serenity has absolute authority over Skion, except for the privileges and rights afforded to the War Sovereignty. A Serenity is selected by the people of Skion in an election comprised of candidates from the previous Serenity's advisors. However, the War Sovereignty is responsible for choosing a new Serenity in the event they cannot make war effectively. Skion is still under the rule of the First Serenity, so only time will tell if the procedures will be followed. Since the Skion collective consciousness is so determined to make war on foreign foes, it is not likely a coup attempt would be successful.

The Serenity is also responsible for appointing a council of advisors to assist in administrative and executive matters, and also for appointing a war council to command Skion's fleets and armies.

The current Serenity is referred to as His Serenity.

====The War Sovereignty====

The primary responsibility of the War Sovereignty is to check the power of The Serenity and ensure they are acting in good faith within the mandates set by the constitution. If the Serenity is no longer capable or interested in making war, it is the Soveriegn's duty to remove The Serenity from power and appoint a new one. The Sovereign is also expected to be proficient in the use of battle magic. Beyond this, the Sovereign is granted a number of specific rights:
Right to First Blood: The Sovereign, or their fleet, is granted the first attack on an enemy after the declaration of war.
Right to Independence: The Serenity or their commanders cannot give orders to the Sovereignty and the Sovereign is granted their own fleet for the purposes of making war.

The current Sovereign is War Queen Skulna.

== Skion Society ==
[[File:SkionTank.jpg|300px|thumb|frame|right|A Skion Thunder Templar tank ready for action]]

Skion is the homeplanet for the Skion people, but the culture also encompasses the two moons that orbit the planet: Eylia and Solia. Collectively they are referred to as the Skion, though the lunar culture can be drastically different from the main planet. The moons were the great bastions during The First War, suffering no damage as [[The Swarm]] only landed on Skion itself. Their armaments and colors are often different, highlighting the proud lunar heritage though the differences can be very small. The population of both moons is dwarved by the trillions that call Skion home, but they are always a force to be reckoned with.

After The First War all of Skion society has been swept with the fever for action. Nobody returned home from the war, insisting on remaining in service to subjugate the stars. The Great Peace lingers on the collective consciousness but the Skion pay it no heed.

As the Skion looked less and less to the stars and more and more to their own comfort and leisure, a foe lurked in the depths of space. A creeping, crawling horror known as [[The Swarm]]. These monsters landed across a significant quadrant of the planet inside mucus covered sacks the size of buildings. When the Skion went to investigate they found only the teeth and claws of an enemy who did not negotiate or give quarter.
In desperation, the Skion broke open their armories, reprogrammed the Matter Machines, and made war once more. [[The Swarm]] cared not for territory or glory but only for violence and they brought death to the Skion. The old tactics wouldn't work on this enemy and Skion reeled. Fortunately, the Skion mega structures proved difficult for [[The Swarm]] to clear efficiently, giving the once-peaceful Skion time to formulate a new strategy.

Eylia and Solia had not been touched by [[The Swarm]] and proved invaluable in the defense. The Matter Machines on the moons endlessly belched the resources of war. With fire and magik they made armor, guns, and tanks. The last of the generals drew a final line around the planet and ordered it to be cleared and fortified. Buildings were torn down and repurposed, trenches were dug, barbed wire was placed, bunkers were built. Line after line of defense was constructed, the entire population drafted into service. In ten days the line was finished, spanning the entire horizon. The fighting was fierce when [[The Swarm]] were finally finished chewing through the unguarded section of the planet. With vast numbers they charged into the bullets and blades of the new Skion war machine, overwhelming it piece by piece.

Days of constant fighting wore on, the death toll reaching impossible numbers. Blood soaked the ground for miles. Slowly the charge of [[The Swarm]] was checked, halted by never ending artillery and the desperate will of uncountable warriors. When day dawned on the thirty-first day there were no foes to kill: the enemy had retreated. Now it was the Skion's turn to advance. They purged the blight from their homeworld with pitiless violence until every stone had been turned and every hideout torched.

===The Awakening===

After surviving the horrors of the first war the Skion looked to the stars. It would not take long to repair the damage to their world, but now the people wanted more. They wanted the stars. The warrior spirit of the Skion was reawakened. Shipyards were built and factories reopened. The Skion did not need to be pressed into service, they did so gladly. They would bring war to the stars and increase their influence. The Republic stepped down and a new government was created with one goal: Advance into the stars and bring war.
The Skion Interstellar Domain was born.

==Government==

The Skion Interstellar Domain is a Constitutional Autocracy, where a single ruler has total control with limits to their power defined by the Skion Constitution. The constitution itself merely places the responsibility for war preparations on the Autocrat, referred to as The Serenity, and gives them total control provided they are active in seeking out daring and dangerous new interstellar conflicts. The remainder of the document deals primarily with the creation of the War Sovereignty, whose role is to check the power of The Serenity.

====The Serenity====

The Serenity has absolute authority over Skion, except for the privileges and rights afforded to the War Sovereignty. A Serenity is selected by the people of Skion in an election comprised of candidates from the previous Serenity's advisors. However, the War Sovereignty is responsible for choosing a new Serenity in the event they cannot make war effectively. Skion is still under the rule of the First Serenity, so only time will tell if the procedures will be followed. Since the Skion collective consciousness is so determined to make war on foreign foes, it is not likely a coup attempt would be successful.

The Serenity is also responsible for appointing a council of advisors to assist in administrative and executive matters, and also for appointing a war council to command Skion's fleets and armies.

The current Serenity is referred to as His Serenity.

====The War Sovereignty====

The primary responsibility of the War Sovereignty is to check the power of The Serenity and ensure they are acting in good faith within the mandates set by the constitution. If the Serenity is no longer capable or interested in making war, it is the Soveriegn's duty to remove The Serenity from power and appoint a new one. The Sovereign is also expected to be proficient in the use of battle magic. Beyond this, the Sovereign is granted a number of specific rights:
Right to First Blood: The Sovereign, or their fleet, is granted the first attack on an enemy after the declaration of war.
Right to Independence: The Serenity or their commanders cannot give orders to the Sovereignty and the Sovereign is granted their own fleet for the purposes of making war.

The current Sovereign is War Queen Skulna.

The population of both moons is dwarved by the trillions that call Skion home, but they are always a force to be reckoned with.

Skion is the homeplanet for the Skion people, but the culture also encompasses the two moons that orbit the planet: Eylia and Solia. Collectively they are referred to as the Skion, though the lunar culture can be drastically different from the main planet. The moons were the great bastions during The First War, suffering no damage as [[The Swarm]] only landed on Skion itself. Their armaments and colors are often different, highlighting the proud lunar heritage though the differences can be very small. The population of both moons is dwarved by the trillions that call Skion home, but they are always a force to be reckoned with.

After The First War all of Skion society has been swept with the fever for action. Nobody returned home from the war, insisting on remaining in service to subjugate the stars. The Great Peace lingers on the collective consciousness but the Skion pay it no heed.

== The Skion Interstellar Domain ==

Not so long ago, the Skion were content to build their utopia upon their home planet and it's twin moons, Eylia and Solia. They built towering structures, expansive gardens, and eradicated diseases. Peace reigned so long that the armories were shuttered and the weapons were put aside. It cam to be that few could remember a day when the threat of violence and war was present on the mind. The people were educated in science and magik, building their prosperity on them like pillars. It would last for generations.

=== Government ===

The Skion Interstellar Domain is a Constitutional Autocracy, where a single ruler has total control with limits to their power defined by the Skion Constitution, crafted just after victory in The First War. The constitutional itself merely places the responsibility for war preparations on the Autocrat, referred to as His or Her Serenity, and gives total control to them provided they are active in seeking out daring and dangerous new interstellar conflicts. The remainder of the document deals primarily with the creation of a new office of the War Monarchy.

== History ==

=== The First War ===

As the Skion looked less and less to the stars and more and more to their own comfort and leisure, a foe lurked in the depths of space. A creeping, crawling horror known as [[The Swarm]]. These monsters landed across a significant quadrant of the planet inside mucus covered sacks the size of buildings. When the Skion went to investigate they found only the teeth and claws of an enemy who did not negotiate or give quarter.
In desperation, the Skion broke open their armories and made war once more. [[The Swarm]] cared not for territory or glory but only for violence. They came to bring death. The Skion mega structures proved difficult to defeat efficiently, giving the once-peaceful Skion time to formulate a strategy.
The old tactics were no longer useful. The old weapons had to be remade. With fire and magik they made armor, guns, and tanks. The last of the generals drew a line around the planet and ordered it to be fortified. Trenches were dug, barbed wire was placed, bunkers were built. Line after line of defense was constructed, the entire population drafted into service. In ten days the line was drawn, spanning the entire horizon. The fighting was fierce when [[The Swarm]] were finally finished chewing through the unguarded section of the planet. With vast numbers they charged into the bullets and blades of the new Skion war machine, overwhelming it piece by piece.

Days of constant fighting wore on, the death toll reaching impossible numbers. Blood soaked the ground for miles. Slowly the charge of [[The Swarm]] was checked, halted by never ending artillery and the desperate will of uncountable warriors. When day dawned on the thirty-first day there were no foes to kill. The enemy had retreated and now it was the Skion's turn to advance. They purged the blight from their homeworld with pitiless violence until every stone had been checked and every hideout torched.

=== The Awakening ===

After surviving the horrors of the first war the Skion looked to the stars. It would not take long to repair the damage to their world, but now the people wanted more. They wanted the stars. The warrior spirit of the Skion was reawakened. Shipyards were built and factories reopened. The Skion did not need to be pressed into service, they did so gladly. They would bring war to the stars and increase their influence.
The Skion Interstellar Domain was born.

== Skion Society ==

Skion is the homeplanet for the Skion people, but the culture also encompasses the two moons that orbit the planet: Eylia and Solia. Collectively they are referred to as the Skion, though the lunar culture can be drastically different from the main planet. The moons were the great bastions during The First War, suffering no damage as [[The Swarm]] only landed on Skion itself. Their armaments and colors are often different, highlighting the proud lunar heritage though the differences can be very small. The population of both moons is dwarved by the trillions that call Skion home, but they are always a force to be reckoned with.

After The First War all of Skion society has been swept with the fever for action. Nobody returned home from the war, insisting on remaining in service to subjugate the stars. The Great Peace lingers on the collective consciousness but the Skion pay it no heed.
