The Angellonian Empire
History
"Taga Komrzan dasena Krophekw W'sha Shasa"
"To command and conquer we shall"
-Zhedakm motto
The Angellonian Empire's roots date back thousands of years and is the first if not, one of the first empires to reach to the heavens (the galaxy) and colonize the stars above. They are considered highly zealous and near impossible to reason with and nearly impossible to defeat in combat as they have access to technology that other galactic empires do not have, Aetherium...
It began when the eight tribes of Angellonia had began to take back the promised land from the infidels that exiled them. When they succeeded, they first had to rebuild their nation for many years then they were attacked by foreign kings and so they began to conquer the rest of the world in retaliation. After they conquered the continent of Fodirn'Ladir, were they officially recognized as an empire.
They have conquered nearly hundreds of solar systems and have destroyed nearly over a dozen empires and have been at war with the Galactic Union for nearly hundreds of years. They remain in a stalemate since the galactic union put a forcefield wall across their borders preventing anyone from going in and out of it and so the Angellonian Empire awaits when the day shall come when the wall is broken so they can continue their expansion across the heavens.
Their flag contains an eight sided star that represents the eight tribes and eight diamonds that represent the four great houses of each tribe. the two swords were added by the Zealots and the General of the Zhedakm after the great revolt. and the diamonds were added after they conquered the Vildoks.Structure
"The Divine One" is their God who commands the Priesthood or individuals. the Priesthood consists of at least 7 priests and 1 high priest who(the high priest)once every 444 years when the 4 moons turn blue goes into the holy room and makes a sacrifice that will cleanse all Angellonians from their sins. The priests help with the sacrifices the other Angellonians bring throughout: when the Angellonian makes the sacrifice by slitting the throat of the animal, the priest catches the blood in a ceremonial bowl and then grabs some herbs and spices then burns it at the altar so the smoke may catch the attention of their God and then if their God accepts the sacrifice then fire would come down from heaven and consume the animal's body burning it to a crisp.
The tribe fathers are the leaders of their corresponding tribe who would lead their tribe, doing what their tribe is supposed to be mostly doing in their society (Such as Jhedakm are mostly farmers and Thedakm are mostly labourers building buildings and construction and other tasks like that).
Some tribes have governors who are more like politicians/police than soldiers. they enforce laws, make new laws and do misc. work for their corresponding tribe leader.
The Commanders plan out and strategize victories for war and then give out the commands to the captains who would make sure the plans are followed according to it then having the sergeants or lieutenants make sure their commands are followed through and then the sergeants lead their squads to make sure they win the battles.
Each tribe adheres to their tribe's patriarch and their laws but a universal law governs all of the tribes.
Culture
Eight tribes with eight cultures make up the empire.
The Zhedakm: The warriors and protectors of the Empire.
The Jhedakm: The agricultural workers of the Empire.
The Thedakm: The architectural workers of the Empire.
The Fhedakm: The engineers of the Empire.
The Khosakm: The teachers/philosophers/Scientists of the Empire.
The Yosakm: The Artists, Writers, artisans, miscellaneous laborers of the Empire.
The Moadakm: The users of "The Eighth Sight" of the Empire.
The Spadakm: The religious, holy people of the Empire.
They all are a patriarchal based society with the eldest males of each household ruling over it. females are seen as assistants and child bearers therefore they don't have authoritative jobs nor military service.
Public Agenda
to convert the entirety of the heavens and to eliminate all non-believers and sins where it may be found. To bring order and peace within their borders and to please their God. They also desire to help others even if they are enemies when they repent of their ways or commanded so by their God.
Assets
They do not use currency within their empire and most of their work is based off of volunteering and free labor and also out of the duty to serve their roles within their society of the Angellonian Empire.The Empire has access to highly advanced technology for their weapons, tools and everyday life that no other Empire has access to. They can use cloaking technology, holograms, and one tribe can use psionic powers which are quite powerful. They own a vast amount of territory in the galaxy owning around 40% of it which is bigger than the top five empires of the galactic union combined. Their army is quite powerful yet they prefer a more honorable yet primitive style of weaponry such as spears, swords, daggers but that doesn't mean they don't have guns nor bombs and other advanced weapons such as chemical weapons and planet busters.
History
The earliest records of these people go back thousands of years ago with a young male from the kazu tribe whose name is Ashkrnofh. He was called by the Angellonian God to serve him and to do as he had said and in return, he would be given a mighty lineage with a promised land. and Ashkrnofh did as he was commanded to do and "The Divine Father" kept His word and fulfilled his promise. When Ashkrnofh's grandchildren were born is when the empire begin to grow, as the eight Tribe Fathers and their sons were exiled into the badlands by the fou8r kings of the four lands on the continent of Orijhin. after almost over four years of exile, they were blessed by "The Divine Father", leaving the badlands by force and soon after, they conquered the entirety of the land of the south. then after twenty six years later, they had conquered the rest of the world. After all of the Tribe Fathers were put to rest and buried in sarcophaguses in the mountains of Orijhin in the badlands, their sons begin to take over and the rest is history.
Demography and Population
it is unknown of the size of the Angellonian population. it is merely rumored that one of their colonies alone have over a million. their homeworld however is divided into eight provinces on the four continents (two for each continent) for each of the eight tribes. this practice is also used on their colonized planets: dividing the planets into eight provinces for each of the eight tribes to live in.
The Homeworld does not have any non-Angellonian converts as the environment is too dangerous to live in for non-Angellonia native beings because the radiation levels are too high for most alien races and also the wildlife would kill a huge majority of alien visitors. on the colonies however, there are many non-Angellonian beings that have converted to Angellonianism and have integrated into Angellonian society. they are seen by some of the tribes as second class citizens while some of the tribes see them as equals.
Territories
Angellonia Prime is the home world and headquarters of Angellonianism teachings. they have colonised many planets and have converted many Empires to their religion: The Sting'Rel'Ya (aka Sparshans) who are a reptilian race of beings who were the first non-Angellonians to convert after witnessing the conversion of their king, The Holy Octokahnak Empire who are a cephalopada race of beings that used to be sorcerers who converted after their high priest was striked down with thunder by "The Divine Father", The Kun'Jharen who are a feline race of beings converted after a prophet had prophesied a natural disaster of their world unto them and it came to pass, and the Salakar Empire converted when their idols melted at the sight of an Angellonian prophet and were defeated in battle by the Zhedakm, The Reptaki are a reptillian (mostly dinisourae) like race of beings that converted after they were conquered and their emperor was slain in combat against the Angellonian God himself, The Elefhazi are a humanoid elephant like race of beings who converted after the Angellonians saved them from being destroyed via genocide by the Grox, The Insectulus are humanoid insectoid like beings that converted after the Angellonians had killed the oligarchy of parasites that controled their minds, and lastly the Keelpa were enslaved by the Angellonians for many years because of retaliation from an assault by the Keelpa, but after several hundred years of slavery did the Keelpa convert to Angellonianism. therefore their territories are quite humongous, occupying four of the eight arms of the galaxy and the center of the galaxy (after they had wiped out the Grox; former masters of this territory).
Planets that have a native population who become aggressive are mainly wiped out or enslaved by the Angellonians.
Military
Their military conists of: The Zhedakm army, The Jhedakm army, The Thedakm army, The Fhedakm army, The Khosakm army, The Yosakm army, The Moadakm army and The Spadakm army. each tribes' army usually serve only their corresponding tribe but they all answer to the General who is the Zhedakm chieftain.
The Zhedakm army is the main army that is sent out to conquer other worlds and are deadly warriors with great natural born skills in combat.
The Jhedakm army is known for using animals for warfare, training pack animals to hunt and kill targets and flying creatures to spy and send messages.
The Thedakm army are more defensive as they make bunkers or strongholds or Galactic fortresses for the armies and mostly stay and defend said bunkers, strongholds and fortresses from attacks.
The Fhedakm army use vehicles such as Aetherium tanks and Air Fighters. They also help the Thedakm army with making Aetherium cannons and other sentry weapons on their buildings.
The Khosakm army is a reconnaissance army and usually study the geography of the battlefield and help think of perfect strategies for warfare. They also train "Stalker soldiers" who use cloaking devices to stalk and retrieve information from the enemy behind the front lines when needed. these also are the ones first sent out to a planet to study it's geographies and settlements when peace is not the answer.
The Yosakm army are messengers and usually send messages to and back from the frontlines or to deliver important messages and are appointed to guard precious cargo and other vehicles or persons of interest. They also are the last to use in the reserves.
The Moadakm army is only used rarely as their powers are sometimes too powerful for warfare and also there are not many Moartianians to begin with or those who have mastered their powers. They would usually also be used to interrogate prisoners and torture them to acquire information since they can read and break minds.
The Spadakm army (more specifically The Zealots) is the most feared of them all as they are sometimes regarded as more skilled and stronger than Zhedakm and with their zeal they can not be bribed, persuaded, reasoned with, they don't feel pity nor remorse for their enemies and they do not stop until their mission is completed. They are usually sent alone for a mission but sometimes in groups of four and only the most important of missions do they form groups of eight. They have been called upon during crusades in times past to fight against enemies who were too powerful for the other armies. They also are sent out to find "Black scrolls of unholy knowledge" to destroy.
Technological Level
They have touchable hologram keyboards, space travel, Aetherium being their most ancient yet highly advanced technology which is used for a huge majority of their technology and engineering. they have cloaking devices (which is their most expensive technology, very few Empires have access to this), they're in the process of charting a map of the entire galaxy they have cotrnol over and have access to terraforming technology. They are a very advanced civilization but still prefer to use some primitive technology such as swords and spears. They received some of their advanced technology when a failed attempt to conquer the Angellonian homeworld by the Vildaken brought the Angellonians a huge boost in technology causing the Vildaken their own extinction. When they conquered the Grox they acquired anti-planet weapons such as planet busters which can destroy entire planets; this however was considered unauthorized by the priesthood and demanded that this technology should be destroyed yet the Zhedakm kept some of it for themselves and reverse engineered it with the help of the Fhedakm...
Religion
Angellonianism: the current demographic population of believers consist of all Angellonians, over nine hundred million Sting'Rel'Ya, around five hundred million Kraikhanites, near two billion Kun'Jharenians and almost six hundred million Salakarians.
Only Angellonianism is legal within the empire and it's allies, any other religion is outlawed and is punishable by death if not converted.
Foreign Relations
They have few little allies, they are those that have become converts to the Angellonian religion. they have been seen as a top priority threat by the Galactic Union and by many religious leaders across the galaxy. The Angellonians don't try to make enemies but are very strict with their way of life and will not conform to others even if it means to the death...
Laws
Each tribe is self governed and write their own laws to their own tribes but their is a universal religious law that all of the tribes are governed by and they adhere to them very strictly.
Agriculture & Industry
They are considered an agricultural and manufacturing superpower. with their control of dozens of planets (which most have not been used yet) they are able to have an amzaingly great abundant amount of food and materials to keep this Empire immortal.
Trade & Transport
They only trade with the Non-Angellonian convert empires and they only trade food, cloth, wood, stone and other non-technologically advanced resources as they keep that and their weapons and armor to themselves. They do however modify the starfighters of their allies to upgrade it with Angellonian themed technology and remodel it to look more Angellonian in design for a more uniform style amongst the Angellonians.
Education
At a young age, Many Angellonian youth are taught by their parents but those who lack a parent or are orphans are advised to be sent to an academy to be taught by one who is from their corresponding tribe. But Khosarians are however are the main teachers of Angellonians outside of the Khosakm tribe. they are taught basic mathematics, literature (to read and write) and taught in the doctrines of the Angellonian religion.
depending on their tribe will be what they are mainly taught in their academic life.
Zhedakm are raised to be soldiers early on in life.
Jhedakm are raised to be farmers early on in life.
Fhedakm are raised to be crafters/mechanics/engineers early on in life.
Thedakm are raised to be architects early on in life.
Khosakm are raised to be wise teachers, full of knowledge early on in life.
Yosakm are raised to be artisans, authors, historians or pilots early on life.
Moadakm are raised seperatly in Moadakm monastaries to have control over their psionic powers early on in life.
Spadakm are almost all raised by their parents exclusively and can choose to become priests or missionaries or for the bold few, to become Zealots early on in life.
Infrastructure
They control over many dozens upon dozens of planets with a hugely rich abundance of resources and space stations on each of their colonized planets that lead to a highway to the homeworld of the Angellonians; They are however heavily guarded by Yosakm soldiers.
Non-Angellonians who were able to come to the Angellonian homeworld describe their infrastructure surprisingly simple, almost archaic even though of how technologically advance they are as a people. stone brick roads, brick, wood and thatch houses or huts. they don't have much sewage as they bury their feces for the plant life and burn most of their garbage.
Worship
Whenever an Angellonian commits an unholy act they must bring a cattle like animal to the temple and make a sacrifice to cleanse them from their sins. every Angellonian must at least once in their lifetime make a holy pilgrimage to the holy land and worship "The Divine One" via sacrifice with an avian like animal. if any wants to talk to "The Divine One" directly they must make a stone altar and make a blood sacrifice burning the body and putting the blood in a golden bowl boiling it in the fire with incense. If "The Divine One" is well pleased with this servant then He would speak with them for a moment and maybe give the servant a vision or tell them what needs to be done in the Empire or for non-Angellonian believers.
Granted Divine Powers
The Divine One blessed each of the eight tribes of Angellonia granting the tribes:
The Zhedakarians: The Zhedakarians are natural born warriors, masters of warfare and physical prowess capable of defeating a legion with one warrior.
The Jhedakarians: The Jhedakarians are masters of agriculture always with an abundance of crops and cattle.
The Thedamaelians: The Thedamaelians are masters of designing things such as architecture and blueprints for weapons. They also labor in the other jobs not performed by the tribes.
The Fhedamaelians: The Fhedamaelians are masters of craftsmanship making the sharpest weapons, the strongest buildings, the fastest ships and the strongest armor.
The Khosarians: The Khosarians are masters of wisdom, having understanding of the ways of life and knowledge of things that are unknown to outsiders, given the roles as teachers to young Angellonians.
The Yosarians: The Yosarians are masters of literature,, writing records of history, holy texts, sacred scrolls and laws. they also can write amazing stories and poems and etc.
The Moartianians: The Moartianians are masters of "The Eighth Sight" able to use Telepathy and Telekinesis, feared for their ability to move things with their minds and to read and see and feel the thoughts of others.
The Spartianians: The Spartianians are masters of faith and virtues, The lineage of the priesthood and are deadly warriors rivaling Zhedakm, most Spartians are known to become prophets of "The Divine One" and only Spartians can enter the infamous Zealot army.
Political Influence & Intrigue
The Divine One is the leader of the Angellonians speaking His commands to the priesthood or to individuals if "The Divine One" can not trust the priesthood (such as when the priest hood had became wicked committing genocide). The Angellonians owning four out of the eight arms of the milky way have great influence with the politics of the planets they control, intimidating alien races they have enslaved due to compensation for losing or occupy.
there have been political ideas that were put in place that eventually were against "The Divine One" and would be executed by the people via decapitation.
Many contenders for tribe father status have used the faith as a main reason for challenging current tribe fathers so they may lead the tribe to a holier lifestyle while there have been some who have tried to free themselves and others from the chains of religion but would usually fail and be challenged by the ones who would use the faith for contending the tribe father status.
many tribe fathers in the past have made laws and engaged in acts of warfare against other empires mostly based on religion. Angellonians as a whole do know that anyone who becomes a tribe father and is not of the faith, they would surely put to death before "any damage would be done" to the Empire.
Sects
The only sects are from the non-Angellonian converts but those sects do influence some minor groups of Angellonians across their empire.

Gazetteer
The main important locations of this empire is the promised land in the continent of Orijhin towards the south and the site of The Great Holy Temple, a great planet that is extremely abundant in metallic resources yet covered with volcanic oceans that is governed entirely by the Fhedakm tribe, a planet that is is 8x the size of their homeworld and acts as a secondary homeworld for their empire, and finally they have a series of solar systems that act as border of their inner section of their empire.
Major Exports
They export food mostly, as they always seem to have a near endless supply for their allies.
Major Imports
They are mostly an Independant Empire who rarely take imports. They only imported gold from the Kun'Jharenians when the Thedakm tribe cheiftain of the time needed it to build a giant golden pyramid for a temple on a colony. They imported a unique resource that is called "Phaka" from the Sting'Rel'Ya to experiment it's teleportation capabilities but there was no use for it.
Legislative Body
Tribe Chieftains are usually the ones who write civil laws and enforce them but a few tribes have governors who do that for them instead and the other tedious work.
But it is "The Divine One" who writes the religious laws that all tribes follow or else...
Judicial Body
A person who is reported to have broken a civil law and is caught with enough evidence will be taken to a governor or Tribe Chieftain or the one whose authority is next to them such as a Commander or Captain and so on. They are then given a trial to prove themselves innocent. The Angellonian Empire in all matters recognize "Innocent until proven guilty", showing no favor or bias against all parties in the trial. If the accused has proven his innocence then the one(s) who reported the innocent shall be punished four fold(4x) of what the accused would have received.
But when one has broken a specific religious law, they are to be killed on sight with no trial and in some laws their body is to be burnt into ashes instead of being buried. But there are many cases of "The Divine Father" proving the innocence of one who has been accused of breaking a religious law and therefore saving him from all charges put upon him. Because of this, the priesthood had given charge to those who broken a religious law without enough proof or in case the accusation sounds suspicious, to be sent into the badlands and if the accused survives for eight days and does not die, then he is assumed innocent.
Executive Body
The citizens of the Empire enforce the laws themselves amongst each other and there also soldiers who patrol the streets of their settlements. most tribes however have enforcers who help enforce laws and imprison law breakers.
