Kaikyo Minato

**Kaikyo Minato** is a binary star system that is officially marked as the capital system of Kaikyo, along with its overall religious center. The site of an expedition over two millennia ago from Eovinjai, it has developed since then into an incredibly developed center of civilization.

Its habitable planets are Mimakogen, Kyami, and Tashika. The central junction of transport and commerce between these worlds is Okkonai Station, which exists above Mimakogen.

Additionally, the headquarters of the Arrival Mutual Security Entente, Ritsushima Station, is located between the orbits of Mimakogen and Tashika.

## Folklore

It has been said in Kaikiri folklore that, several eons ago, Kaikyo Minato was a developing star system with one overarching spirit. Within this spirit of Kaikyo, there existed two forces, Shubetsu and Fua. When the decision came to Kaikyo, she decided to give the system life, which pleased Shubetsu but enraged Fua; the eons of peace the system had would be tarnished by the living.

Fua, from within Kaikyo, attempted to eat her whole from the inside out-- He was only partially successful, getting stuck on Shubetsu. Riddled with despair and grevious injuries, Kaikyo would die, sending Shubetsu and Fua out in the resulting cataclysm. The casts would be set.

Bitter and isolated, Fua would exist in his own world; his planets would be sterile under his burning gaze-- Fua would get the peace he wanted, but at the cost of everything else. Shubetsu, critically injured, would rapidly cast out pieces of herself; she would be distilled down to her most base form. From this, the Three Sisters of Kaikyo would be born, and through them Kaikyo would live on.

### Depictions

#### Shubetsu

Shubetsu is depicted as a sleeping solar phoenix, her wings the solar flares of the stars, and her eyes consisting of it's eye spots. She sleeps in slumber over a nest representing her system; because of this she is associated with parenthood, life, and protection.

#### Fua

Fua is usually depicted as a massive stellar serpent, his black scales glittering with the sparks of comets and meteors; within his maw is usually a star with flames emitting from it. Because of this, he is associated with stellar cataclysm, death, and absolute conviction; though he is also affiliated with the chaotic natural peace of space, in the absence of life.

In times of total war, vehicles are often smattered in snakes' blood to invoke Fua's blessing in the destruction of Kaikyo's enemies, and red/black facial paint is applied.

## Government

The responsibility of providing limited organizational government across the entire system outside the habitable planets falls on a mixture of national law, and a system body called the **Kaikyo Minato Stellar Authority (KMSA)**. Consisting of representatives from the three habitable planets, they allocate resources between the three, set up boundaries, and pursue local conflict resolution; their powers beyond this are limited, however.

They are led by a Director.
