Empyria

Empyria is the capital planet and ancient birthplace of the Assembly. In the Imyr System, Empyria enjoys a stable system in orbit along the system’s habitable zone. Empyria itself had developed life billions of years ago, by the time the ancient colonists arrived, the planet housed countless ecosystems. The planet was extensively colonized, though by the foundation of the Assembly, it was decided that the rest of the planet would be left to its original inhabitants. While Empyria is home to mighty cities that extend high into the sky and deep into the crust, the majority of the planet remains untouched, nurtured and protected as to allow evolution to continue it’s sacred course.

Despite much of the planet being preserved, that has not stopped the imaginative colonists from making Empyria the industrial, cultural, and technological nexus of the Assembly. Fusion industry, unending shipyards, and an orbital ring are but a few examples of Empyria’s industrial might. The sprawling cities themselves are home to trillions of Assembly citizens, predominantly the original colonists of the planet.

The Empire holds a notable presence on and around the planet, a considerable Imperial Guard force bolsters it’s already large garrison. Several Imperial installations can be found throughout the planet, vital to the Empire’s operation and communication with the Assembly.

Empyria became an independent colony from the grips of its colonist’s homeworld. After disputes that strained diplomatic relations between the various interstellar nations that had originally colonized the world, rather than choose a side, the colonists of Empyria chose to break away. After centuries of development and cooperation Empyria would come to overpower it’s former homeworlds, and eventually broker a monumental alliance, that would become the Empyrian Assembly. Since then, Empyria has continued to be the most important world of the Assembly.
