In the BrikVerse, Assyrians are citizens of the Assyrian Star Empire. The empire is home to many people of different origins. The complicated history of the ASE resulted in an exclusively yellow population which has multiple ethnic backgrounds. The two most dominant ethnic groups are Latverians and Syriacs.
Overview
The modern Assyrian Empire traces its routes back to direct descendents of the Deadly Space Man Empire. The capital world Austere was part of the Latverian Space Republic which only controlled a few systems, until a military alliance was formed with the neighbouring Syriac Union. Eventually the two nations joined together to form the Assyrian Star Empire, and began a long campaign of expansions, colonizing and terraforming undeveloped worlds and conquering some smaller civilizations. Historians mark the end of the expansion period as B.R. 2002 which is when the CSR rebelled and won its independence. Assyrian borders have remained unchanged since that point.
Because of the combined forces of immigration and conquest, the ethnicities present in the ASE are quite diverse. There are significant populations foremost of Latverians and Syriacs, but there are also substantial populations of Chinese, Brittanian, Nordic, and Germanic peoples. Assyrians therefore may therefore try to identify themselves through their common citizenship instead of their ethnicity.

Empress Xianghua
Xianghua is the Heavenly Empress of Assyria. Her parents are unknown, but were of Chinese descent. She was adopted shortly after birth by the Emperor, but he died unexpectedly while Xianghua was still a young girl. No other heirs were present, so the empire was run by a viceroy-ship until she ascended to the throne when she turned 18 in B.R. 2004.
Xianghua has presided over the empire during times of relative peace, and times of war. She has remained popular with her people throughout most of her reign. Xianghua is trained in hand-to-hand combat and some basic Trianglist magick.
