Empyrian Assembly

The Empyrian Assembly is a vast collection of systems and species united under a democratic alliance, and one of the founding States of The Empire. Originally a union between the Vl-Hurg, Byzoreilei, Chensciyum and lost Humans, the Assembly has since grown to absorb many other species into it’s union.

The Empyrian Assembly, often referred to as simply the Assembly, has been a significant State in the long history of The Empire. It’s importance in recent history, even greater. The Assembly was the starting point for the revival of The Empire from its oppressors, during the Reclamation. Since then, it has continued to be one of the most important staging grounds and hubs of the revived Empire.

As for the people of Empyrian Assembly themselves, they are a large and diverse group of species and countless cultures within those species. Few stereotypes of broad norms can be placed upon Empyrians as a whole; other than their love for all forms of Life and their passion to defend it and express it.

Assembly Space
The territory of the Assembly encompasses over a 1000 star systems, numerous black hole systems, and hundreds of rogue planets; larger than most Imperial States. It is divided among the civilization of the Assembly's numerous species. The stellar extent of the Assembly is often divided into three stellar graphic regions based on development and exploration. The Old Stars, the Outer Expanse, and finally, the Fringes.

The Old Stars
At the very heart of the Old Stars sits the bassinet of the dream that was the Assembly: Empyria. The capital world of the Assembly, Empyria, itself is a colony. Several species, namely Vl-Hurgs, Chensciyum, Humanity, and Byzoreilei had colonized it over 3000 years ago. Their cooperation would lay the groundwork for the Assembly. The Empyrian system itself holds some of the most developed and important planets and superstructures of the Assembly. Not far, on a stellar scale, are the home systems of the original assembly species. Vl-kull, Sanjesu, Sol, and Byzoreilios. Rivaled by only Empyria itself. Vl-kull the home of the Assembly’s military might. Human and Byzoreilei holds diverse in their purposes and importance; while the less numerous colonies of the Chensciyum are peaceful utopias of science and progress. Further from Empyria, is the industrial hub of the Dhannoy civilization, and their heavily populated colonies.

The Outer Expanse
Farther from the comfortable extensively charted systems of the Old Stars, exists the larger Outer Expanse. Even in the passing millennia, many worlds still remain relatively uncharted. The Expanse is full of mysteries, both mystifying and horrifying. While the remnants of an ancient civilization can be found throughout the Assembly, the vast majority of their relics can be found within the Outer Expanse; an Empyrian species among these artifacts. The Frrnrrhrrm, an artificial species of mechanical beings, dominates many systems and superstructures throughout the Outer Expanse.

Sana’mee hive worlds litter the Outer Expanse and their hive fleets patrol the abyss. The Jaz-zun civilization and its guilds extend across nearly a hundred systems, preyed upon by dissident bands of their own kind. The few systems of the Tekk huddle at its edges, while the elusive Enjulagok inhabit numerous systems closer to Empyria. Upon many of the Outer worlds the Drunul can be found, a mysterious primitive species that has somehow managed to cross the abyss between stars. A large portion of the Honvar species, originating from one of the Assembly’s Imperial neighbors, recently joined Empyria adding a considerable amount of systems to the Expanse.

The Fringes
The frontier of the Assembly, and home to its newest member species. The isolationist Kin'vep, while loyal members of the Assembly, are often at odds with the greater Empyrian nation. The recently uplifted Fire People also inhabit the outest reaches of the Fringes. Among the stars of fringes there are yet many more secrets awaiting to be uncovered, for better or for worse.
