Infintana

Infintana is the planet at the centre of its namesake Infintana Empire; a highly advanced galactic empire that rests on the edge of war following changes in the ruling family.

## Overview

### Inhabitants

Infintana Alpha Class, Beta Class, Omega Class

### Inhabitants

Multiple Races of alien lifeforms

The Empire contains multiple planets, who all swear loyalty to the Royal Family of the home planet of Infintana. This is a result of an ancient event known as the Century War - when waring factions battled for control over the planet. Infintana is home to the Crystal - a seemingly endless supply of supernatural energy. Since taking control of the planet, the installed Royal Family has been slowly diminishing the Crystal's lifespan by overextending its power. This has been kept secret from the Empire as a whole, with only a select few knowing the truth - for fear of uprising and rebellion amongst the planets.

## History

King Ettaya, the beloved king of the empire, was instrumental in his family's success during the Century War. His first act upon controlling the Crystal was to grant his bloodline & court a seemingly extended life and creating a paradise planet for his people to live on. Over time his warmongering behaviours started to quell (some speculate as a result of the Crystal's interference) - and he practiced a more holistic approach to his empire. He strived for peace between all planets and races. In his older years he created three new organisations that would help secure this mission for peace.

1. The Galactic Peace Mission (GPM) - a proactive diplomatic group that used the skills, technology and powers of the people to keep peace within the empire.
2. An Empirical Assembly - which allowed some limited agency for each planet and their interests. This Assembly secured Ettaya as a well loved King amongst the Empire; but causes friction amongst the battle-hardened court he created.
3. Temple of Ilivah - Outside of his political restructuring, Ettaya found spiritual guidance in the Templis Religion of Infintana - and dedicated a lot of his later life to the teachings of Ilivah, the Templis Goddess of Good & Balance

This, alongside him becoming a father, made him a much more sympathetic man that struggled with some of the decisions he made during wartime to secure ‘peace’. Certain members of his family disliked this quest of peace, seeing it as an affront to the conquests of the past and a desire for even more power. Most notable was his wife, Ilse - who had grown detached from her husband's vision and only agreed to marriage to secure her home planet's safety inside the Empire and their eldest son Zemaya, who was hungry for power and control over 'his' people.

### The Rupture

Zemaya, using disillusioned rejects from the GPM known as Renegade Command, planned a terrorist attack on the Empire. By showing that the peaceful path did not protect them from outside attack; he would cause dissent among the people and force his father's hand to return to aggression. This attack was devastating, wiping out a small part of the Infintana capital, focusing on the Temple of Ilivah. Renegade Command fled, leaving behind an amnesiac Invader who's powers were used to cause the destruction. In the wake of the attack, it was discovered that King Ettaya and his son Nya had been visiting the church secretly and were killed instantly.

This even would become known as the Rupture and sent ripples throughout the Empire. Ilse, still distraught over her involvement, was raised to Queen Regent before her daughter Attaya (still too young in Infintana protocol) could take the throne. The GPM was tasked with finding the terrorists, becoming much more militant in their actions. The Royal Family were placed under strict restrictions and forced into military training. Infintana edged closer towards a police state, with tight control over the rest of an (increasingly resistant) Empire and without the peaceful vision of their late king.

### Separation

During a diplomatic visit to the planet of Bepheoth, there was another attack on the Royal family from a separatist group. This attack caused a malfunction on a nearby starship and created a wormhole - sending Attaya across the galaxy, to earth. With the heir to the throne missing, along with one of the last remnants of the Crystal, the Empire fell further into disarray. Ilse, in a desperate attempt to hold power, offered Attaya's hand in marriage to anybody that could find her within the militaristic royal court. An aristocratic family tasked their son Broxon, who was a commander in the GPM, to track her down and bring her back - so in turn they could join the Royal family.

The Princess Kora abandoned her family, deciding to escape her life and disappear into the outer planets of the Empire. Zemaya continued to keep tight control of his family's legacy, becoming a figurehead for the war-mongers of the Empire. Suniva became a beloved princess of the people, fulfilling many of the duties her missing sisters previously had done. Allata dedicated her life to the religious order of the crystal, wanting to respect her father's peaceful ways.
