Velkavian Covenant

"VAИMXИ LILPADERAL AMATISAXE ENAVA" - "United From The Source" 
"In the realms of stars, I take my stand, A knight of Velkavia, a soul so grand, With sword in hand, my heart beats true, I pledge my life to conquest and chivalry too, Through galaxies vast, I shall boldly roam, With unyielding spirit, I'll claim my own, No darkness of space shall halt my might, I'll shine like a beacon in the cosmic night, To the farthest reaches, I'll bravely tread, In the name of Velkavia, I'll forge ahead, With honor and valor, my path is clear, Through nebulae and comets, I'll have no fear, My quest is not for earthly land, But the boundless skies and worlds so grand, To expand our Covenant's righteous creed, A legacy of stars, in them I'll lead, So raise your banners, let them fly, In Velkavia's name, we'll reach the sky, With steadfast heart, I'll take my part, In this futuristic age, I play my part, With loyalty and courage, I'll take my flight, A knight of Velkavia, bold in the light, In conquest and chivalry, I'll find my way, Into the stars, forever I'll stay." - Oath of the Velkavian 
The Velkavian Covenant: A Vast Cosmic Empire of Faith and Unity
The Velkavian Covenant is an expansive Spaceborne empire that proudly unites ten nations under its mighty banner. Born from the chance encounters of three spacefaring civilizations, their initial mutual alliance set the foundation for a grand covenant state. Aligned by a shared faith, their journey soon led them to annex seven neighboring spacefaring civilizations, forming a formidable force in the cosmos.
Motivated by the core principles of Faith, Honor, Chivalry, and Order, the Velkavian Covenant adheres fervently to a knightly code steeped in unwavering devotion to their faith. Their belief system centers around "The Source," a divine entity considered to be the origin point of the universe's creation, the very essence of the Big Bang. Though somewhat vague, their faith is direct and resolute, with "The Source" being the object of their ultimate quest. Their profound goal is to unite not just their galaxy but galaxies beyond under their sacred faith, envisioning a future where they can transcend space and time to meet their god in a literal sense.
"The Source" is perceived as a metaphysical being, mysterious and profound, whose true name remains shrouded in the depths of their devotion. As galactic crusaders, the Velkavian Covenant pursues their divine mission with unyielding determination, seeking to spread their faith to every corner of the cosmos.
As the empire's ambitions extend beyond mere boundaries, they embrace a pragmatic approach to expansion. The Covenant is open to peaceful diplomacy with other empires, eager to forge alliances and share their faith's enlightenment. Yet, when met with resistance, they are prepared to wield force, ensuring the sovereignty of their beliefs remains unchallenged.
Leadership within the Velkavian Covenant is a testament to equality and cooperation. At the heart of their governing structure, leaders come together around a round table, each with a chance to direct the entire covenant. Every five years, rotational leadership ascends a chosen leader to the position of "High King," granting them the privilege of guiding their cosmic empire.
Formality and tradition converge in the Velkavian Covenant's attire, a fusion of medieval armor and futuristic enhancements. This amalgamation of old and new symbolizes their belief that the past holds the key to the future, and that maintaining the route to their roots is essential to their cosmic journey.
Cities within their domain exude a unique charm, a harmonious blend of medieval aesthetics and modern advancements. Advanced technologies are seamlessly integrated into the nostalgic architecture, showcasing their commitment to bridging the past and the future.
In their dedication to preserving history and wisdom, they still embrace ancient writing techniques, employing parchment scrolls and wax stamps in a time where digital means reign supreme. This cultural choice stems from their belief that a well-maintained route to the past paves the way for a prosperous future.
The Velkavian Covenant stands as a formidable cosmic force, an empire driven by faith, unity, and a timeless quest to meet their divine maker, "The Source." Guided by their knightly code and an unwavering resolve, they embark on their galactic crusade, spreading their faith across the stars and beyond, leaving a profound mark on the tapestry of the cosmos.

In days of yore, when stars did gleam,
The Velkavians rose, in dreams supreme,
With banners high and hearts so pure,
They sought the Source, their faith secure.

Unite, unite, the cosmos wide,
Under the Eye of the Source, our guide,
For in its light, all shall find,

From realms afar to worlds unknown,
The Velkavians' quest was boldly shown,
To spread the truth, the Source's might,
In darkest space, they brought the light.
**Chorus:**
Unite, unite, the cosmos wide,
Under the Eye of the Source, our guide,
For in its light, all shall find,
Salvation pure, for all kind.
With swords of faith and shields of lore,
They journeyed forth, forevermore,
Through voids so vast and dangers great,
Their mission clear, their fervor straight.
**Chorus:**
Unite, unite, the cosmos wide,
Under the Eye of the Source, our guide,
For in its light, all shall find,

Your beacon shines through realms so dark,
The Velkavians pledge their soul,
To bring the universe to its goal.

Unite, unite, the cosmos wide,
Under the Eye of the Source, our guide,
For in its light, all shall find,

The Velkavians’ vow will never wane,
To see the Source, the universe reign.

The Velkavians’ vow will never wane,
To see the Source, the universe reign.
So sing, oh stars, of their crusade,
Of Velkavians’ might, undimmed, unafraid,
For unity in the Source's name,
Will bring all beings eternal fame.

Unite, unite, the cosmos wide,
Under the Eye of the Source, our guide,
For in its light, all shall find,
Salvation pure, for all kind.
