**Valgeta** is a planet located at the northern part of the Galaxy.

## History

### Legends

According to certain historical regards, Valgeta was colonised by some Vigefionian mutants that were banished from their civilisation; while the Valgetans themselves claimed to be directly created and placed by Mother Time. Those were known as "Experimentals", various test societies considered "bizarre" to Vigefionian society and then left to slaughter each other in an unforgiving Galaxy.

They were initially ruled by various patriarchal and matriarchal kingdoms that warred against each other, occasionally feeding their people to Anevondir as meat and blood. They were forcibly unified by one of the matriarchies, who modified their people to become a hive race of immortals as an experiment.

The earliest of these queens created a religion known simply as "Transcendence", which worshipped a gestalt spirit known as "The Great Conscience".

### Early history

The Valgetans were created by the Vigefionians during the Fifth Age as an experiment, and an army to fight the Freyrgardians.

The Despots of Xarmal, Xormais, and Orxila were three Valgetan matriarchs who raided worlds to kill and eat humans. The Armasol humans ended their threat and defeated them.

During the Eighth Age, the Valgetans offered peace to unsuspecting subjects of smaller states and outlying realms. Those who accepted their offers were invaded, enslaved, hunted, and eaten; and other warbands used the same terror. Such gruesome scenes enraged the Novantirna civilisation of Simarvi, who launched a crusade against the Valgetans and other cannibals - joined by many survivors of the Valgetan raids, eager for vengeance.

### Later history

The Valgetans managed to regroup and rebuild their ruined homeworld. Even as they managed to spread across half of the galaxy, their empire was limited to a scattered amount of star systems, increasingly isolated by other empires.

At some point, Princesses and other elites were rewarded with their own space stations, to live in lives of eternal, sensual pleasure. Some of those worlds were disconnected from the Hive Mind, and they became the independent Orloi, who hid to protect themselves from the Valgetans' cannibalism and other civilisations' slave raids.

During the Ninth Galactic Empire's era, it was one of two dominant forces that ruled nearly half of the Galaxy, against its rival and creators, the Vigefionian Empire. Vigefion considered the Valgetans and several others to be misborn, cannibalistic parasites to be exterminated; and Valgeta's queens regarded Vigefion as a rebellious planet to be subjugated.

During the Tenth Galactic Empire, it was the homeworld of the magicians Makirta, Sraverta, and Drasera, three men who were among many sent to various planets to preach their religion. Among their converts were the Naumakanir Arnadjanai, a barbaric race that used their newly-gained technology to dominate their fellow kindred as slaves.

Another practice of the Valgetan Empire was seducing males and females to produce stronger offspring and manipulate their spouses into being converts: they and their children became the Highborn, which later served as the concubines of the Ranxil and their chosen daughters. Among them were the ancestors of many Arnadjanai kings and queens with brighter hair and eyes.

Initially, only the Ranxil, their Highborn offspring and consorts, their clones, and their Princeling spawn were allowed to reproduce, while the other citizens and slaves were sterile. In later times, Ranxil Axervaron modified some of her race to make them produce more workers and warriors.

The planet met its end at the Fourteenth Galactic Empire's time, when its final leaders and their subjects meditated as their planet was burned in a supernova. They also sent more of their people to populate the northern part of the Galaxy. Most of these colonists intermarried with human, Arnadjanai, and Vigefionian locals, and without the Hive or their queens to control them they mostly remained servile and obedient. They left behind a strong desire for beauty and/or sex in their descendants.

The Orloi were the only known Valgetans who survived. Many of them were protected by the Crusader Fleets and some pirates, preventing them from being enslaved or eaten.

## Geography

Valgeta was a temperate planet where most of its continents consisted of grassy plains. There were lush jungles scattered all over the continents.

## Government

During its prime, the Valgetan Empire was ruled by the Ranxile, a group of seven queens that served as the representatives of the Great Consciousness. Each Ranxil is served by hundreds and male and female concubines (clones and Highborn), which she uses to reproduce and create more servants. Some Ranxile and Princesses have their own consorts, concubines that have become the most important of them all.

Each Ranxil was selected from the best students of an all-female academy after an education of three years. If a Ranxil is killed, two of the best students duel. The winner becomes the next Ranxil, while the loser has a choice of becoming her advisor or to be expelled from the planet. The other students become the next officials of the government.

Usvari Ranxile - the first Ranxil-queens of Valgeta: Shurnapax, Shuna, Braibax, Androphix, Traigax, Lyrs, and Vyndasxa.

Sevalta Ranxile - the last seven queens of Valgeta: Pherbai, Aivele, Sariti, Verandra, Lorandia, Kiavelta, and Lis.

As the Ranxile cannot be everywhere at once, some Princesses were sent to promoted colonies to be lesser Ranxile who ruled over their own communities of Highborn.

Valgetan society can be divided into three: Core colonies, Margin colonies, and Outsider realms. Core colonies were completely dominated by the Ranxilli species and their hive society; Margin colonies were colonies ruled by Princesses with the Princesses' own laws; and Outsider realms were the annexed or allied territories of Converts and other vassals.

## Economy

Valgeta's economy was mostly a form of socialism: while everything else was communal (as the people were fed by robots), individuals and households still kept private property (such as clothing, toys, books, and houses; and in the case of Ranxil queens and Highborn, entire planets, land, concubines and slaves). Valgetans get their supplies and resources mostly from redistribution centres, and the only shops that were present in a Core Valgetan society mostly consisted of artists, cooks, bakers, and sellers of souvenirs.

Official, Valgeta has no currency, again because everything was provided to them by teams of robots. They only produced and stored money to trade with other nations and Convert civilisations.

Converts were permitted to keep their existing economic systems, from capitalism and private businesses to their own forms of slavery.

## Military

The Valgetan Empire's armed forces consisted mostly of females. Most of its personnel consisted of specially-made, genetically modified slaves who were strong enough to crush an adult human male, led by Highborn, Princelings, and Princesses: extra Princesses were sent to the military to lead their own armies of slaves and converts.

Military slaves were sterilised from the start of their service until any Highborn wanted to make them a concubine, when they were made fertile for sexual purposes. They were outnumbered by thousands of other military slaves that were produced from cloning vats, and the *xarnevar* volunteers seeking for enemies to kill and eat. Aside from these, Valgetan society was protected by guards appointed among Citizens (and Highborn in some colonies) and robots, and Highborn may appoint several concubines as their guards and bodyguards.

In combat, every soldier is mentally bound by their leading Princess, allowing them to quickly receive orders without needing a machine. If the Princess is killed, the warriors under her go insane and rabid from the sudden disruption: some members become so frustrated, they kill and eat other members.

If a defeated or subjugated race was considered attractive, the Valgetans would either offer their members to breed with them, or pick the best members to breed with them; either way, that race gets enslaved unless they convert to Transcendence.

Aside from its warrior-women, Valgeta was served by armies of its converts. Some of its converts resorted to explosives and bombings to force others to submit, such as freeing the Lurillim and clones from Konjor rule.

### Unique units

There were several distinctive units in the Valgetan military.

*Xarnevars* were Citizens and concubines who willingly joined the military to hunt and eat their enemies, mostly as auxiliaries to the military slaves and Princesses. Their descendants were the Longjaws, dreaded aristocrats known for their voracious appetite and their disfigured maws.

*Tolunsondors* were large reptiles used as siege equipment, complete with a battering ram at their heads and a gun station at their backs.

*Halexar* were floating platforms where seven to eighteen soldiers fire at enemies as their vehicle intercepts their enemies. *Gon-halexar* were equipped with rockets and cannons against tanks and artillery.

## Society

Officially, Valgeta was a matriarchy. Ranxilli can be born as males, but they mostly existed to breed or work. Marriage only existed among the households of Highborn, while concubines, Citizens, and slaves lived in communes.

Ranxilli consist of three races: Highborn, Citizens, and slaves. The concubines of many Valgetans were cloned from Highborn DNA.

The Highborn consisted of the Ranxile queens, their concubines, their offspring, selected Princesses and their offspring, and the Princelings. They were mostly produced by breeding two Highborn or a Highborn and a Princess. To avoid inbreeding, some concubines and free Highborn were given their own personal clones.

Some considered offspring between Citizens and compatible species to be a fourth race, the Princelings, who were treated like Highborn. When they were old enough, Princelings occasionally had to mate with Highborn to produce more Highborn.

Valgetan concubines can be male or female. Concubines were produced either breeding two Highborn, or by cloning. They existed as personal servants and palace staff. Each Ranxil can have around 1,000-4,000 concubines, each Princess was allowed with only up to 20-500 concubines of her own, and each freeperson may have up to 100-400 concubines. Extra concubines became freepeople who lived outside the palace, and they were permitted to start their own families or communities to support Valgetan society, aside from their compulsory duty to breed with the Princesses to produce more Highborn.

Only Highborn females who were neither concubines nor Princesses were allowed to be students of the Ranxil Academy, although they also allowed other females and carers to be educated there at later times. Certain Highborn females were selected by the Ranxile to be their representatives, or Princesses, among their people. They served as leaders of their settlements or as generals and commanders, and male and (with a temporary modification) female Highborn were sometimes tasked to breed with the Princesses to produce more Highborn.

Citizens were mostly created in artificial wombs, or produced by breeding two Citizens, or a Citizen and a chosen Highborn mate. Citizens mostly existed to manage finances, infrastructure, and technical issues. Citizens who have committed serious crimes were sterilised and altered into slaves.

Some Citizens and Highborn females and males were sent to other sentient races to seduce them to convert, or to produce stronger offspring.

Slaves were produced either by cloning bloodlines from the founders' opponents, having two slaves breed and give birth to more slaves, and Citizens who committed serious crimes. Slaves who displeased the upper classes were killed or ground into paste-like food; while slaves who were considered attractive to a Ranxil, a Princess, a Princeling, or a Highborn were modified to become a Highborn. Slaves did menial and harder work, from construction to engineering, although some colonies used robots for menial and dangerous work.

Converts formed a fifth class in Valgetan society: most of them were tolerated and given their independence, so long as they paid their taxes and worshipped the Ranxile. Among them were the Naumakanir, who were so obsessed with the Valgetan religion that they became sterile.

Aside from sex, esoteric meditation, and evangelism; Valgetans liked to paint, draw, cook, make songs and music, read books, do athletic sports, have tea parties (where they also sampled exotic types of tea and distilled poisons and acids), play dress-up, and do gardening.

Crimes in Valgeta are punished by electrocution, jailing, drowning, burning, or death and being ground into food, depending on the severity of the crime. Some Valgetans are punished by being demoted to slaves or being used for biological experiments.

Cannibalism was considered very acceptable in Valgetan society, as long as it was done against enemies and criminals. To them, eating their enemies is simply "recycling" their materials. Many military Valgetans also enjoyed hunting and eating their enemies as a sport or to express dominance.

### Biology

The Ranxilli species was humanoid, having peach skin and colourful hair and eyes like their Vigefionian ancestors. They have developed into three races: the Highborn, the Citizens, and the slaves. Two variants of Highborn included Ranxile and Princesses, one variant of Citizen included "pleasure people", and one variant of slave included the soldier. Blond hair was more frequent among Highborn and Princesses; Citizens can have red/green/blue hair; and most slaves had black to brown hair.

Each Ranxil is taller than the average Ranxilli, and each Princess is a little shorter. In descending order of height and strength: Ranxil, Princess, Highborn, Citizen, military slave, and slave.

Ranxilli females can control their own fertility without needing chemicals or contraceptives, allowing them to have sex any time they wish without having to marry or reproduce.

Their gestation time was short, roughly from one day for a slave to four days for a Princess or a Ranxil. How many children they produce vary between their race: slaves bear one or two normal-sized babies; citizens bear litters of 3-6 smaller babies; Highborn and Ranxile bear 4-8 babies; and Princesses bear litters of up to 24 or more babies. Sometimes the babies have different features (e.g. brown, yellow, blue hair; gold or green eyes) due to multiple partners during intercourse or random genetics.

Their maturity was also short - slaves reach adulthood within one week or month, while higher classes reach adulthood within one year. As a result, childhood in other races was seen as weakness. As soon as a Ranxilli reaches adulthood, he or she is sexually mature, and they will seek to copulate with another adult to celebrate their adulthood.

Slaves lived for up to 40-70 years; Citizens lived for up to 130 years or more; Highborn lived for up to 400-800 years; and Princesses were allowed to live up to 900-1,400. As they reach the end of their lifespans, they grow wrinkles and get less active, and when their time ends they sleep to death and were cut into food. Ranxile and "pleasure citizens" were made into immortals to lead their peoples or live out their sexual desires; but any that committed serious crimes were demoted to lower classes or (in the most severe cases) killed and cut into food.

No matter how much combat training they had, most Ranxilli were as strong (or weak) as the average human. Only military slaves were strong enough to crush an average human.

### Psychology

Most Valgetans tend to be docile and obedient, preferring to cooperate rather than quarrel. They almost never complained, preferring to obey their tasks and accept their lot in life rather than improve it. These attitudes were fixed into their psychology ever since their ancestors' genetic manipulation millions of years ago. Nonetheless, there were occasional selfish Valgetans, mostly a result of genetic error or interbreeding with another race: at best, they were tolerated like naughty children, and at worst they were either pampered like brats or humiliated and treated like prostitutes.

Every Valgetan was designed to be social and communalistic: from the lowest slave to the highest Ranxil, they often feared being isolated from their community and hive-Empire. When living outside their Empire against their will, they get frustrated and sad, even as they will joylessly obey their new masters afterwards. They mostly thought of their community instead of themselves: the only forms of individuality for them include their personal identities, their possessions, their art, and their role as sexual partners.

However, they were willing to convert other people and races to their lifestyle and religion. In most cases, they allowed others to retain their beliefs, while some can become so extreme that they would force their religion on others via seduction or war. They might experiment with other social and economic systems (like private businesses aside from art, communism, capitalism, democracy), but eventually they will prefer their own hive system over all else.

### Subspecies

Some Valgetans, the "pleasure citizens", became the Orloi, an independent, isolated race of humanoid clones who live in floating space stations. They know that the Galaxy hates them for being clones, so they tend to hide themselves into an alliance to protect themselves from murder, torture, or enslavement.

The Orloi were born when the earliest of their people were accidentally disconnected from the Hive Mind, causing them to become more independent. They also refuse to be militaristic, avoiding anything to do with their Valgetan creators and predators.

## Language

## Religion

The Valgetan religion, Transcendence (Ranxilan: Evlendari Ey), was henotheistic. Their primary deity was the Great Consciousness (Urisil), a collective force representing the power of creation strengthened by the souls of the righteous and ascended. They believe that they bring themselves closer to the Great Consciousness by mutating their bodies, upgrading their technology, developing new chemicals, and continuously meditating to the Great Consciousness: some also believe that having sex was also a way to bring themselves closer to their god.

Other deities in their beliefs were derived from the Vigefionian state pantheon: Mother Time, Mother Earth, Father Sky, Mother War, Lady Death, Lady Luck, and the gods of males and females. Much of Transcendence was influenced by Vigefionian astrology and magic lore that was not "upgraded" by later rulers and magicians.

They believe that their souls currently reside in Unseilan, "the first heaven", and that the Great Consciousness created them to improve the universe in its great plan. If they die after a lifetime of duty, obedience, and harmony, they believe that their souls ascend to a better heaven. These upwards heavens, or universes, were known respectively as Dorsoivan, Nirsaibar (where sex is eliminated and males and females became less distinct), Djoraltar, Xarvaltar, Xaimalsa, and Xaramalsa. After dying in Xaramalsa, their bodies are bathed in a golden pool, and their ascended souls join the Great Consciousness.

The wicked and the cruel go to Numbultur after their die. It was a deep abyss that drowns the wicked in a stinging sea of mud, acid, and asphalt for hundreds or thousands of years, after which they were reborn in Unseilan to try again. The Valgetans also believe that bad slaves and criminals go to Numbultur, but they are reborn as harpies that eat each other or starve until their appointed time expires so they will be reborn in Unseilan.

They also believe in monsters that lie out there in the universe that devour their souls, denying them any access to the afterlife.

## Relations with other planets and countries

Some civilisations kept Valgetans as slaves and zoo animals, due to their "hive society" and their cannibalism.

### Vigefion

The people of Vigefion mostly see Valgeta as a mistake, an erratic experiment that went horribly and hilariously wrong.

Valgeta sometimes sent its sons and daughters to be married to Vigefionian royalty and nobility, where they served as trophy spouses, spies, and missionaries to Vigefion. Sometimes both monarchies maintain good relations, and sometimes they dislike each other.

It waged a great war against the Vigefionian Empire, which competed against it to be the Ninth Galactic Empire.

At the Eleventh Galactic Empire, Vigefion was taken over by a invasion led by Princess Radaxuri, who became a queen of her own kingdom. She attempted to turn Vigefion into a hive like her homeworld, but her attempts to modify the Vigefionians ended in failure and her kingdom was quarantined. Radaxuri's kingdom, Radaxar, was the only nation in Vigefion that ate their dead bodies, to the disgust of its neighbours.

### Wosono

Even though the warlike Wosonoi relished having Valgetan concubines to mate with, they were mostly treated as effeminate. Some Wosonoi and Valgetans attempted to create their own race, known as the "Second Golds", to conquer the Galaxy. However, in spite of their intelligence, their stronger sexuality and obsession with beauty made them incapable of being a coherent force to defeat the other galactic powers, so clones had to be created from them with sterility to expand the Epadwaranai empires outside the star system. The half-Valgetans remained trapped as "perpetual children", imprisoned by their families/owners until they passed away.

Some Valgetan concubines became mothers and fathers to Arnadjanai nobility and royalty, and such offspring can be identified by their brighter hair and their stronger sexual desires. They ended up becoming better leaders than their Wosonoi counterparts, and many Arnadjanai have tales of defeated half-Valgetan Wosonoi ending up as submissive wives and husbands. Other Arnadjanai with better relations with the Valgetan Empire include the Naumakanir race, who have converted to its religion and sterilised themselves.

### Ladura and Arnadjanai

Some Arnadjanai admire their matriarchal society, but most of them dislike their hive-like society as "restrictive, mechanical, and soulless".

### Aspiera

The Aspierans were bitter enemies of Valgeta, because long ago, the Valgetans hunted their people to eat them. To punish the Valgetans, Aspierans raided and massacred Valgetan colonies. Some raiders captured living prisoners and dead bodies to create trees that grew human heads, which were afterwards tortured for amusement.

### The rest of the Galaxy

Aside from eating meat produced from criminals and condemned slaves, some Valgetan Princesses and their armies cut and ate the bodies of dead enemies from the battlefield. Sometimes they launch raids against enemy armies to kill and eat their soldiers for revenge.

These acts of cannibalism increased their relations with some galactic empires, such as the Kuelgons and the Anevondir. Although their empire remained neutral, they supplied both empires with machines, fuel, esoteric literature, and fruit.

The Valgetans waged war against some of the more-powerful civilisations in historical times:

* the Rynavonts (5th GE, over territory and resources),
* some of the Freyrgardian hordes and warbands (5th GE),
* the animalistic Suvokkon (7th GE),
* the Raviexe, another hive-like civilisation (7th GE),
* the noble but vengeful Kingdom of Simarvi (later 8th GE),
* most of the Wirawons who were allied to Vigefion (9th GE),
* the Arigathons (11th GE),
* the Poreseai (12th GE, over territory),
* and the Pilakurum (13th GE)

### Ioratin

Although the Ioratins were fascinated by Valgeta's warrior women, they were also disgusted by the latter "pampering" their males instead of putting them to slavery, their more-stratified system, and their cannibalistic and sexual behaviour.

## Trivia

* Valgeta was inspired by the Pleiadian aliens and their planet of Erra; the Amazons of Greek mythology, Warhammer Fantasy, and Supernatural; the Sovereign of Guardians of the Galaxy; and The Sims 4.
* Valgetan meat was mostly grown from animal and plant cells, mixed with the remains of the dead and executed criminals.
* All Highborn, Princesses, military officers, and Citizens were permitted to travel anywhere within their empire freely, provided they had the proper vehicles.
