### History

Centuries ago, in the vast expanse of space, the seeds of The Charnovokh Enclave were sown by the visionary leader, Trazyn. At that time, humanity had spread across several star systems, but they were fractured and disunited. Faced with the threats of hostile alien races, internal conflicts, and harsh space navigation, the survival of humanity hung in the balance. Szarekh, a charismatic and brilliant military strategist, recognized the need for unity and strength to ensure humanity's survival and progress. With the support of Trazyn, he began to form a coalition of powerful factions and worlds under their banner. His ideology of an Authoritarian Meritocracy appealed to those who sought a system where the most capable and loyal individuals would rise to positions of power. With the empire's territorial expansion came the establishment of core worlds, each serving a specific purpose to support the empire's growth. Zarath Prime, a fertile and temperate planet, was chosen as the Capital World, where the ruling elite and the imperial government resided.
