Jaqc Monocracy

## General Overview

The *Jaqc Monocracy* are a species located in the Tau Quadrant of the Black Eye Galaxy, close to the Yuvis Theocracy, which they also share a border with and have been involved in numerous wars in the local space due to different interpretations of *Aura Dominion*, the official holy book of both the Yuvis and the Jaqc which worships the *Divine One*, an entity known as the Spirit of the Abyss, which the Yuvis are unaware of.

Resembling lupine traits similar to the Anthropian species, the Jaqc are believed to be somehow related to them despite the vast difference between their homeworlds and the complete differences in culture. Unlike the Yuvis, the Jaqc are completely aware of the existence of the Abyss and devote their entire society to it, something which only the leaders of the Yuvis are aware of.

Jaqc culture has been heavily influenced by the Spirit of the Abyss, who was able to indirectly communicate with the Jaqc following its imprisonment within the Immortal Prison with Aza'lon. Since the Abyss is incapable of taking physical form for long outside its own dimension, the Abyss has only manifested to the Jaqc directly fairly recently, when Aza'lon was freed from his prison in 2421. The Jaqc used this opportunity to reaffirm their faith as ancient prophecy foretold that the Abyss would appear to them during the *"Time of Ending"*.

## Technology

Jaqc technology is comparable with that of the Yuvis Theocracy and the Galactic Commonwealth, wielding powerful *Graviton Blasters* in battle and charged *Negative Energy Particle Cannons*.

The Jaqc have an exceptionally efficient research and development wing, constantly developing new infantry technologies and military hardware to be used on the battlefield, constructing devestating superweapons on a regular basis such as the *"Mass Graviton Bomb"* which uses *Higgs Boson Particles* to cause a gravity collapse on a target and create a singularity. The Jaqc will only use this technology when they have determined that a planet cannot be salvaged.

Both Jaqc males and females serve in the armed forces, which has led to development of completely different military hardware for each gender, with both possessing tailor-made battle suits that can absorb an impressive amount of energy weapon damage. However there are some interesting difference, such as how female battle suits have additional plating to protect the womb area as Jaqc females are expected to reproduce and provide the next generation of *"Warriors of the Abyss"*.

## Society

The Jaqc Monocracy is a brutal, authoritarian state where power is held exclusively by the *"Speaker of the Abyss",* which the Abyss itself regularly manifests to, also using the *Negative Isotopes* sealed within the body of the *"Speaker"* to exert influence over the Jaqc.

As a result, the Jaqc Monocracy are entirely devoted to war and conquest, believing the Abyss desires them to embrace their darkest and most primal emotions. Jaqc children are bred from birth to be completely subservient to the Abyss and to view all other religions as a perversion to the one true path.

Despite their brutal philosophy, including a standard ritual called the *"Aroona"*, in which, when a new Jaqc is born they are checked for any deformities by an elder and if found to not be physically perfect, they are thrown from the *"Cliffs of Damnation"* on Barras, the Jaqc are exceptionally intelligent with their entire society devoting itself to the war economy. Jaqc society can also be surprisingly tolerant towards woman and Jaqc woman are free to wield political power and are even trained to fight in compulsory programmes as it is believed that they would be the last line of defence should the home planet ever be invaded.

In their youth, Jaqc are trained to hate all other forms of life, believing them to be *"Unified in Perfection"* when the Abyss accomplishes its goal of crushing down the universe into a singular point. This leads them to never take prisoners of war and to shoot people who question the will of the Abyss on sight.

The Jaqc take an exceptional enjoyment from battle, finding extreme pleasure in the deployment of battle and with a religious fervour that is almost orgasmic. They will absolutely kill anything indiscriminately, as they feel they are saving them from the *"Fate of Living"* which the Abyss intends to end. They hate and are hated by both the Yuvis Theocracy, who consider them brutal thugs and the Gol Anocracy who have lost several planets to their more organised and efficient military.

Commonwealth scholars believe that the Abyss has had some kind of affect on their evolution, creating genetic aberrations with the Jaqc for heightened aggression, which could have occurred millennia ago. It has been suggested that the Abyss had precognition of the rise of the Galactic Commonwealth and manipulated the Jaqc species into being a perfect counter-force to serve it's intentions as the Avalid Empire proved to be imperfect creations of Aza'lon and too feral for practical use.

In addition, the Jaqc have been known to use stimulants and hallucinogens in battle, to increase their bloodlust and bring them closer to the *"Eternal Love of the Abyss".*

## Crusades

As the self-described *Harbingers of the Abyss*, the Jaqc have launched several noticeable crusades in their history against certain powers in the Black Eye Galaxy. The goal of which has been to reduce the power of certain races capable of resisting the Abyss, to covert others to their religion and to seize resources and territory for their expansion. However there have been minor campaigns and skirmishes throughout their history.

Such notable examples include;

* *1st Holy Crusade -* In the 1300's, the Jaqc launched an attack on the Strategos Collective following their victory over the Nox-Veredian Empire. This prevented the Strategos from taking over the rest of the Black Eye Galaxy after the destruction of the Nox-Veredian and banishment of the *Iconian Empire*.
* *2nd Holy Crusade -* The Jaqc attempted to conquer the once peaceful and flourishing, fairly new space power, the *Za'Gol Empire*, who had established a peaceful presence providing humanitarian aid to the victims of the *Formican/Suronia* war in the 1400's. This led to the shattering of the *Za'Gol* civil and military infrastructure as well as devastating the planet of *Za'Gol* itself, reverting the Za'Gol to a barbaric pre-warp state and leading to the rise of *Gol the Unblemished* and the Gol Anocracy. As a result of this conflict, many Gol were converted to *Aura Dominion*.
* *3rd Holy Crusade -* In the 1500's, the Jaqc launched an attack on the Pavarnis Assembly, following first contact during that century. This led to a full scale war between the two powers as the Pavarnis were considered too alien to be converted and were classed as *abominations*. However both Empires were heavily depleted following this crusade as the Jaqc had underestimated the Pavarnis. As a result, the Pavarnis's space was severely reduced and pushed back but not before the Pavarnis managed to destroy the *Ozone layer* of the Jaqc home planet, bathing it in intense ultraviolet radiation from their star.
* *4th Holy Crusade -* Despite being crippled by the last Crusade, the Jaqc were not deterred in their mission and rebuilt their planet over the course of the centuries, creating a powerful *"Shroud"* within the atmosphere of their planet, blocking out all the light from their star, which killed all the natural flora on their world. Many Jaqc died from skin cancer and other diseases caused by the ultraviolet light. In 2430, the Jaqc launched a crusade against the Avalid Empire, wishing to purge the abominations, unaware that they both worshipped the Abyss. This was later revealed to be through the direction of the Abyss itself, who wanted to test the strength of both of its creations.
* *5th Holy Crusade* - In 2452, after the Jaqc had succeeded in greatly depleting the number of Avalid Empire ships in the Black Eye Galaxy and unknown to the Jaqc, the Avalid had turned their attention to The Pryde of Ma'lkon and their space. The Jaqc were deemed to be strong enough by the Abyss to launch their largest crusade. A conquest and conversion of the Galactic Commonwealth, which the Abyss feared more then any other power in the Black Eye Galaxy.
