Chion Forever

## General Overview

Chion Forever was a extremist xenophobic terrorist organisation dedicated to the expulsion of all non-Chioni from Chion Prime (Taon V), as well as the withdrawal of the Chioni Collective from the United Commonwealth of Planets.

Formed in January 2421, by the older brother of elected Commonwealth President *Akko Kratz,* Rannis Kratz*,* Chion Forever formed an alliance with *House Telkana* of the Aventis Empire in secret, in order to expel the Commonwealth from the Black Eye Galaxy, which Rannis Kratz saw as *"an invading alien force"*.

In August 2420, Rannis, who had secretly been working for *House Telkana*, deliberately sabotaged the engines of the U.S.S. Trident with a modified Aventis Coaxial Warp Drive disguised as a new plasma injector design. This forced the Trident into a confrontation with the Pryde Worldship of The Pryde of Ma'lkon, destroying the Trident, killing over 700 Commonwealth personnel and draw the Pryde's attention to the Black Eye Galaxy.

It was the hoped by Rannis Kratz and *House Telkana* that the Pryde would distabilise both the Commonwealth and the Aventis Empire, allowing for coups to take place on both respected worlds which would allow *House Telkana* to depose *Emperor Ginwald I* and allow Rannis Kratz to remove his brother and the Commonwealth influence from Chion Prime.

To this end, Rannis used his renowed engineering skills and began working with *House Telkana* to build a large scale automated fleet of artifical intelligence machines which he would use to *liberate* Chioni who he saw as suffering Commonwealth oppression.

Rannis's betrayal however was discovered early, when the U.S.S. Claidheamh Mòr, agreeing to help *Emperor Ginwald I* retrieve the *Sword of Excalis I*, a revered Aventis artifact from the first Aventis Emperor *Excalis I* which would help prevent a civil war within the Aventis Empire, uncovered secret communications between Rannis and the *House Telkana* stronghold of Wightnare (Wightnare II).

General Sylveris Lunamonde, commanding officer of the U.S.S. Claidheamh Mòr and head of the *United Commonwealth Special Air Service*, detained Rannis Kratz before he could put his plan into motion and put him before a special military court, much to the horror of *Commonwealth Diplomatic Corps* head Bol Nevin who felt that Rannis should face a civil trial for his actions.

Rannis used this decision to sow confusion in the Commonwealth legal system in order to argue that the Commonwealth were violent oppressors of the Chioni Collective and would never allow them to be independent, forcing the Chioni to commit more resources and lives to a warmongering Commonwealth that sought dominion over the entire Black Eye Galaxy.

A visual transcript of his trial was leaked to the entire of Chion Prime, which caused disharmony in the Chioni people for the first time in many thousands of years, with some agreeing that the Commonwealth had brought nothing but suffering and pain to the planet, including the deaths of thousands of innocent Chioni during attacks from both the Gol Anocracy and The Pryde of Ma'lkon.

Some Chioni even argued that the Commonwealth had willingly assisted and worked with the Verakian Empire in order to regain the empire that they had once held over 5000 years ago by destroying the Strategos Collective. In Chioni history, the Verakians were remembered as a brutal and sadistic power who once held power over the entire Omega Quadrant, with many Chioni terrified about the ancient stories regarding this species and calling into question why the Commonwealth would willingly associate with them.

The same questions were also called regarding the Ctarl-Ctarl Empire, a brutal monarchy that was kept in power by the Commonwealth, despite Queen Tanisha III having no real claim to New Ctarl-Ctarl (New Ctarl-Ctarl IV) other then the Commonwealth's approval.
