East Indian Aagiokratia/Alpha Asteropaios

The East Indian Aagiokratia, also known as the Anatolikes Indiki Faith or the East Indian Conclave, is the largest Aagiokratian conclave, with 135.6 trillion baptized East Indian Aagiokratians galaxy-wide as of Eon-U 5SB047. It is among the galaxy's largest international institutions, and has played a prominent role in the history and development of Alpha Asteropaian civilization; it is in fact the youngest yet influential international institution. The aagiokratia consists of 27 sui iuris conclaves, including the Aegialean Conclave and 26 Alpha Asteropaian Conclaves, which comprise almost 27,500 dioceses and eparchies located around the galaxy. The High Archbishop, who is the magister of Aegialeus prior to the Communion Act of Eon-U 5SB056, served as the high bishop of the conclave. The archbishopric of Aegialeus is the central governing authority of the conclave. The administrative body of the High Archbishopric has its principal offices in the District of St. Shepherd, located at the militarized urban world of Aegialeus IV.
The core beliefs of the East Indian Aagiokratia was found in the East Indian Creed and its originator creed, the Novayan-Siggean Creed. The conclave teaches that it is the inheritor in Alpha Asteropaios of the Maradikanas Aagiokratian and later Novayanas Aagiokratian and Siggenas Aagiokratian conclaves founded by the Cult of the Worm at the behest of the Worm-in-Waiting in the aftermath the Void-Light War and subsequent disastrous Great Persecution of the Old Faiths; that its bishops and magisters were the successors of the Worm's chosen apostles, advocates and champions; that the high archbishop is the representative of the Novayan and Siggean conclaves, upon whom authority was conferred by the Worm; and that the High Archbishop of Aegialeus was recognized by the Ecumenical Potentate of Novaya and High Priest Sovereign of Sigge as primus inter pares ("first among equals"). It maintains that it practices the Novayano-Siggean faith, as passed down by holy tradition. Its archbishoprics, reminiscent of the ecclesiarchy, and other autocephalous and autonomous conclaves, reflect a variety of hierarchical organization.
The East Indian Aagiokratia was imported to the Alpha Asteropaios region initially as the Novayanas Aagiokratia and Siggenas Aagiokratia, followed by the Recusant, Nea Gnostikisikos and Reformitos Aagiokratias, though the former two would be the dominant joint faiths. Overtime, the adoption of the more pious and holy aspects and practices of the dismantled Aegialean Church and the gradual merge of the two faiths in the Novayan East Indies saw its transformation from a religion of two faiths to a single, unified and holy faith with elements of the Aegialean Church incorporated into the mix, one independent of the Novayan and Siggean conclaves yet in full communion with the two.
