The Inheritor Alliance

Polity History

  The Inheritor Alliance has a small realm on Saliv (0407). Saliv was a world of freak geography, floating temperate islands above a sea of various gasses rising from the tight compression at the planet's core. More interestingly, the planet occupies a region where the veil between realspace and metaspace is thinner. The planet is orbited by two moons. One is ocean, the other is barren though mineral rich. A gas giant and brilliant blue sun round out the system.   Almost all colonists on Saliv were beset by a cyclical doom almost as soon as their boots hit the ground. Powerful 'Null-Breaches' engulf settlements, wiping them off the landscape with impunity. These storms occurred once every ten years, sometimes taking whole cities with them, other times swallowing up just a single house, before dissipating with as much suddenness as they had arisen. A culture of proud suffering grew from this phenomena, and the squabbling guilds, archivist societies, engineers, and laborers came together to try to solve the problem for good. An alliance built to solve an inherited problem rapidly grew to become the sole bloc of political power on Saliv.   Saliv's native exposure to metaspace means a much higher percentage of psychics and mages among the population, and from the time of the First Wave of Exploration, all the way to The Scream- they worked tirelessly to find ways to control the outbreaks of these storms. Powerful Arcane Resonators were created and installed as the focal points of every settlement and though the secrets of their construction are shrouded as one of the state's most guarded secrets, their installation and use kept these 'Null Breaches' from occurring.   The Scream was especially devastating for the Inheritor Alliance- nearly 70% of the population was killed either directly as psychic minds cooked away, or in secondary disasters triggered by the collapse of civilization. The resonators scattered across the planet likewise melted down all at once, save one in the capital city of Dremlas. Almost instantly, Null Breaches began to appear across the planet and now have been freed from their once predictable cycle.   It has taken four years for a self sustaining city to rise from the ashes. Mages and Psychics are beginning to re-emerge among the populace, along with the beginnings of magical infrastructurecture once again. Saliv will be reclaimed. Arcane Resonators in other cities will be repaired, and reignited, and more worlds will bathe in the glorious metaspace energies of a truly enlightened and magical society.  

The Current Inheritor Alliance 

  The Inheritor Alliance today controls the southern reach of their home planet Saliv, and has a large colony on the tropical ocean moon that orbits their world. With the Northern Free-State Singularity to the east, and the Iron Stars Federation to the south, IA diplomats and explorers work around the clock to ensure their cordial relationships with their neighbors are maintained. Slow and steady work is being made to make more of Saliv capable of sustaining new settlements. Eventually the polity hopes to begin moving and expanding influence to some of the systems around Saliv to become a polity matching their neighbors.
