Mæll

**Mæll** (pronounced *mall)* Mallish: (*mɒl*), also spelled **Maell**, is a terrestrial planet that is the fifth planet in the Mallic System. Located in the Lentonexa Galaxy, it is part of the GC Tertiary Standard Universe (Universe 3). The planet has two moons, Lanis and Carn, which orbit the planet every 20 days. The inhabitants of Mæll are divided into two different species: the near-human species known as the Mallic peoples (Homo mallus), and the tertiary variant of the Clertanians of Clertan (Viridis clertis). The latter of these two have conquered the vast majority of the planet and used it as a colony of the Clertanian Digitocratic State since A.D. 1947. The Mallic peoples' culture itself is known to be an in-development civilization and has separated itself into several different nations, including the Eastern and Western Mallic Empires. The Galactic Coalition has released statements saying they do not know the full extent of the planet and its current state, as multiversal communication is tedious.

### Early History

Mæll formed from a protoplanetary cluster around its star some 3.5 billion Earth yrs. ago., inside the Mallic System. The planet has quantum ties to Earth and Earth-like planets in other universes, and Mæll itself is a near-Earth variant. Not much is known about Mæll's early years according to the S.P.E.A.R. Exoplanetary Catalog and the Galactic Coalition's many planet archives. The Mallic peoples themselves naturally split themselves apart across the two major continents around 3,000 years ago into the East and West Mallic Empires.

### Classical Mallic Era

Before the conquest of the Mallics by the Clertanians, the planet of Mæll was a vast, lonely, and scarce planet with only about 2 million inhabitants, and one side having almost none. Pre-Clertanian civilization on Mæll has been researched, and studies show they were an ‘up and coming’ civilization, and developed similarly to humans on Earth, with monarchies, governments, empires, and industrial societies. Their writing alphabet, named Eredic, is difficult to translate, as it is a syllabic-based system. However, collaboration with Mallic officials has allowed for some information to be collected.

The Western Mallics based their religion around the idea of the Mother Dove, a benevolent creator who loves all of her children. Worshiping the Mother Dove includes animal sacrifice, and the harvesting of the native Tylus fruit, which the doves of the planet often pick from. It is believed in East Mallic mythology that the highest form of creature is the bird, with a small pantheon of gods and goddesses who all take the form of birds. The Mother Dove is more or less the main goddess, and the creator of all. She has a group below her. Some of the most important are Sdven, the Vulture (God of death), his bride, Orjfa, the crow (Goddess of decay and rot, Tuen, the turkey (God of the harvest) and Fifjama, the Cuckoo (Goddess of insanity).

The West & East Mallic Empires formed after rivalries, and the first two Mallic Wars occurred with both coming to little to no resolution or conclusion. After some time, both empires grew stronger and created more advanced technology to suit the needs of their military and resources, such as building stronger fortresses and casting hard, lasting metals into armor. On the Kardashev Scale, the civilization of the Mallic peoples was at around a Level 0.2.

### Clertanian Settlement and Colonization

On April 4th, 1947 A.D., two enormous advanced interstellar spaceships safely landed on the surface of Mæll for the first time. The ship and its members were from the Clertanian military and wished to start a settlement and extant colony on the planet. The Clertanians wanted to make peace with the Mallic peoples so as to not need to resort to violence. They did this by bribing the commanders of the Mallics with large amounts of pure Zycryptium crystals, to get them to obey their commands. This strategy failed because of two problems: the Mallic Peoples had never heard of Zycryptium before, and the Zycryptium harmed the Mallics after attempting to touch it. A battle between the advanced, interplanetary Clertanian army and the primitive, ancient army of the Mallics did not last long before the latter surrendered to the Clertanian military. Consequently, they gained access to most territory in Mæll and transformed two main cities into technological hubs.

### Current State

Currently, the colony is not inhabited by many, despite Clertan's best efforts to transform its people into a great colonized Clertanian urban population. Only about 15 million Clertanians migrated to Mæll since the conquest. The Galactic Coalition no longer recognizes the Mallic peoples as nations and only the colony is recognized.
