They abandoned us.
Left us to die.
We sent hundreds of pleas.
Emergency messages were sent.
But nothing.
They expected us to die off.
But we have survived.
The Spirit guided us.
And it will crush our enemies.
History
The exact time we arrived on Leritor has been lost to History. All we know is the Republic sent us here. We arrived, and then nothing. They abandoned us for years and years. We were a thriving community though. We all were just practically farmers, with wives and kids. Most of us were human, but you had some others species here and there. The Republic sent supply craft every few months, but they soon stopped coming at all. News from the rest of the Galaxy took months to reach us, and the torrential rains made it hard for signals to reach out to the rest of the Worlds. But we didn't mind. After all, we were a farming community. We didn't need supplies from the Core Worlds to survive.
Then, they came.
They were water creatures. Crustaceans. Large, crab-like animals that were primitive. They were not advanced as one would think. Technologically hindered, they did not speak basic or anything beyond there own speech. They came to be known as the Sauvax. They lived in small, primitive villages along the shores of Leritor, and for a while, they did not bother us for the longest time. Soon though, there numbers greatly went against ours. They branched out more and more, eventually crowding our lakes and seas. Soon, they began coming inland.
Being Farmers, we gave them natural respect. We would not war over land. We were not barbarians. But soon, the Sauvax started to edge closer and closer to our main Capital. We had a loose government, a Confederacy if you would. All of our Cities had a say in decisions, and they debated and voted on key issues that were raised. Most had privileges of their own, but they were all bound together. The Sauvax was seen as a large problem, as they seemed to be threatening our very life. And soon, that became a reality.
We called it "The Scourging". The Sauvax, attacking in huge numbers, came upon our cities and small villages. They had no care for our people, and attacked with consciousness. The cities organized a meeting at the main Capital, a city called New Nellisa. The Sauvax, not wanting us to Counter-attack, attacked the city with all its might. Several hundreds of their tribal soldiers attacked us and started to massacre the citizens.
However, a Savior came to our aid. A young man, whose name has since become lost, banded together with the Colonial Guard and counter-attacked the tribal beasts. He used abilities unlike ever seen before. With the sleight of his hand, he could lift objects with his mind and hurl them at the Sauvax. He could pick up dozens of the creatures and hurl them away, all the while firing his slug thrower. He was a Leader. A Guide. And he ushered in a new era of War and Order.
He declared himself the leader of the Confederacy after the counter attacks, and nobody argued. He called his abilities, the "Spirit", and said it was a current of power that flowed through all objects of life. He had studied it for many years, and knew how to augment it through technology. He said it was impossible for us to be taught how to use the Spirit. Only augmenting our bodies through machines could help us wield this terrible power. Launching attacks against the Sauvax, all the while creating machines and armors for our soldiers, we beat back the Sauvax, pushing them midway throughout the continent.
During the war, the Savior became a Religious leader throughout the community. He molded our society, and we became independent on machines and technology. He said that we could gain Unity through Technology. Soon, our Nation grew, and we became stronger. Our military was trained harder and better, and soon, the Savior turned us into a Warrior nation. The war we had endured with the Sauvax made us strong, and our warriors benefited from fighting the tribal beasts.
The Savior eventually passed on, but his ideas and thoughts lived on through the people. We then formed the Antarean Imperium, and branched out further onto the Continent. We wrenched away more control from the Sauvax, and rescued several towns and villages. We converted the townspeople and they followed us like drones. The war continues on with the Sauvax, but we wrestle control from them daily.No longer were we Farmers. We were warriors. Warriors infused with machine and power. We were to teach others our ideas and thoughts. Anyone that disagreed were to be punished. The Unity must spread. Without, we are sure to perish. The Imperium was led by one man, a Rezon Marius. He now solely holds the definite power of the Imperium.
Our goal now? To broaden our power. Branch out to other planets, and teach them the Way of Unity is through the "Spirit".
And whoever that stands in our way will be punished.
We cannot afford defeat.
The Universe must learn to embrace the Evolution of Man.
Brief Overview
Some people would call us religious, technological advanced zealots yearning for power. But we believe that to be a harsh misunderstanding. We are not Zealots looking for power. We are merely people who believe in Unity with Machines and we wish to spread this to other people, so that they may join.
That being said, our military is of the highest renown. Our soldiers go through rigorous training, where they are taught how to integrate themselves into their suits and how to use their weapons. Their bodies are also integrated into the suit, and the Spirit is pulled from within them and can be activated through whim. Through great technological advancements, the Spirit can be infused into weapons or actions. The Spirit can be used to push things, pick them up, pull them. It can be used to sense objects from afar, or speed up the users actions. There is a limit however. Depending on the Rank of the soldier, their Spirit is matched. A Captain can do much more then a Private can.
Again, their are only 5 basic Spirit powers a Imperial Soldier can use. Push, Pull, Speed, Sense and Jump. We realize the fanatical Jedi also use these abilities. But we are more attuned to them. As the Spirit can only use these abilities, we are far more trained in them then the regular average Jedi.
The suits we wear are not bulky, but rather light and small. Basic Body armor encompass our soldiers, and these armor is not at all a armor shell. It can help the wearer with damage, but it does not make them impervious to damage. That is where the Spirit abilities come in. And the weapons. Weapons always help.
The Imperium is cut down into two different branches. The Warkind Branch, and the Unity Branch. The Warkind branch is the military branch, dedicated currently to the destroying of all Sauvax attacks. The Warkind are held in high honor, as their actions protect the Imperium. The second branch, the Church, is dedicated to the spreading of the Spirit. They are the religious leaders for our faction, and they are the strongest when it comes to the Spirit.
The Imperium also have access to many powerful weapons, most of which will be revealed soon. We make sure our soldiers are well armed to meet any conflict. We are sure the Galaxy has much to throw at us. Come, join us. We have many missions that must be fulfilled.
