World Building, Factions!
8 years ago
So i've been on a kick of world building and such, like the Phaedra, Imperium, Mol'Toks, Kyokin, all part of the same world~ But it's time to throw in some other human factions besides the Imperium.
First up we have the New Lunar Republic, a group that started out as resistance fighters against the spreading rule of the Imperium, afterall not everyone was keen on the idea of "Herms are the superior sex!" even if bowing down meant lifes basic needs would be met at no expense. But at this point in time they were not the New Lunar Republic, they were simply called Mercy, and for a while they put up a fight. Eventually though the Imperium's sheer power, and their propaganda, gained the upper hand, so Mercy's tactics escalated to near terrorist activities, while civilians were not targets if they were in the area around Imperium military positions, or a ranking official, they would be taken out regardless, having little to no restraints as to whom was caught in the crossfire if it meant a their target is dealt with.
Needless to say, things went worse, they grew more desperate, and to finally get some peace a truce was made. The Imperium would allow them to relocate to the Moon. It was part of the Imperium's plan to help purify earth and ensure their rule, round up all those who could not be converted and instead of killing them, move them somewhere else. So it wasn't just Mercy being relocated, but various other factions that had resisted the Imperium, all being transported to the moon. Not everyone got along, but they made a sort of peace on the moon, becoming the New Lunar Republic, and with bits of imperium tech they decided to...vanish. The moon was taken from earth's orbit, something that had been developed in secret and over the course of decades, and the moon simply...vanished, warped away leaving behind only particles of dust.
From there they were off in another part of the galaxy, far away from the prying eyes of the Imperium, where they could develop and grow in secret, hoping to one day take earth back from the Imperium. But as always...not everyone agreed with the NLR's plan, the growing Solarium religion on the moon had taken a big foot hold and were opposed to the sneaky tactics of the NLR, as well as not being declared the official religion of the moon, so they were forced to leave.
The Solarium is a sun worshiper religion, though it specifies the Sol sun, earth's sun specifically. While they agree with NLR's desire to retake earth, the Solarium want's to take back the entire Sol System, where the NLR simply want earth and to live there in peace. So in their exile from the NLR to a arid world in this far flung reach of the galaxy they discovered remnants of alien technology and studied it, discovering that it feeds off sun light, solar radiation, taking this as a sign they devoted themselves to rebuilding and using this technology, thus becoming the Solarium Empire.
