Dawns

## The Dawns

**The Dawns** were a group of individuals and freedom fighters that fought against tyranny and corruption within the Cassiopeia Galaxy on many occasions. They were recognized for challenging powerful corrupt forces such as the Faceless, the Praeliorian Empire, and House Stone of Borealis to name a few.

The group mainly operated on the space station Solitude Plaza, and later on Rise Island on the temperate planet of Caritas.

## Description

The Dawns were a small group of individuals that primarily operated on Solitude Plaza, a space station owned by the Morkarian privateer, Tiberius Stede. For a time, the Dawns only consisted of four individuals around the start of their formation, but began to grow in size as more individuals joined as time went by. Each member of the Dawns had their own specialties, some that helped out in certain situations than others.

The Dawns often shared one broad but mutual design element in their outfits, which were intersecting lines. These intersecting lines were in reference to the official Dawn insignia created by Lilian Larimarias. That being said, the group's founders did not adorn this mutual design element as Lilian was not there to have created the insignia at that point in time.

### Founders

The Dawns were originally founded by four individuals at the start of the Faceless Wars in 5931 ASA.

### Members

As the group continued to exist, the Dawns continued to grow in size. Each of them had their own unique proficiencies.

## History

### Origins: The Faceless Wars

The Dawns originally formed in the year 5931 ASA as a privateer group that would help the United Cassiopeian Republic combat the Faceless during the seven-year Faceless Wars. Its founders were Panthigeros, Coeus Franzafka, Andreia Dynamia, and Sirius.

The four Dawns fought against countless numbers of Faceless fighters for seven long years. In the final year of the war, the Dawns met and befriended two Dremirian women: Annesidora and Moon. Ann and Moon had previously fought in the war by themselves, befriending many Republic soldiers as the years went by. The two Dremirians decided to join forces, officially joining the Dawns. By the end of the war, there were six Dawns in total.

### Meeting Lilian, Losing Andreia

Seven years later, in the year 5944 ASA, Andreia was pregnant with the child of Henri Hellenia, a Wishian man. Ann and Moon met a 19-year-old Ordovician woman named Lilian Larimarias while on a mission. They befriended Lily, introducing her to the rest of the Dawns. Lilian eventually grew close to the Dawns, particularly Ann and Moon and became great friends with them. She ended up officially joining the Dawns as well, becoming its 7th member.

Just a few months after, Andreia passed away shortly after giving birth to her daughter, who Andreia and Henri decided to name Christa before Andreia's passing. Andreia was buried on the planet Wish, and the Dawns kept a memorial for Andreia on Solitude Plaza.

### Mission to the Republic Capital, Meeting Rhodo

Five years after Andreia's death, in the year 5949 ASA, four of the Dawns took on a mission on Cassiopeia Prime, the galactic capital of the United Cassiopeian Republic. Ann, Moon, Lily, and Sirius tracked down a notorious bounty hunter named Perin Zistah, who was hired to assassinate a Republic senator.

A 20-year-old Rhodo Lax was in the middle of hefty food delivery, at the time working for a diner in the upper levels of the planet. While delivering a good number of boxes by foot, the bounty hunter Perin Zistah bumped into Lax while on the run from the four Dawns. Boxes of food fell over Zistah and rendered him immobile just long enough for the Dawns to apprehend the bounty hunter.

With this unexpectedly exciting experience, Rhodo introduced himself to the Dawns, and the Dawns introduced themselves to him. While their meeting was brief, the Dawns compensated Rhodo for the food lost in the encounter with the bounty hunter. Rhodo wouldn't forget this encounter with the Dawns, and neither would they.
