The Pillars were sillicon-based lifeforms from the planet Pillaria.

## Biology

In the irrational universe, the Pillars were cylindircal, with hole-like eys and slit-mouths. Rational universe Pillars humanoid, however, they shared the head design with their irrational "cousins"

Pillars generated new Pillars in a process known as sculpting. Most Pillars were made out of Pillarite, however, Pillars made out of quartz (Admiral Quartz), diamond (General Diamondia), and even the bones of living things (Bonestalkers) were known to exist.

Veikan crystals were poisonous to Pillars (CW: The Evolutionary Episode)

## History

### Jonathan Crisis

In the beginning, the only two Pillars were Grand Pillar Cl'egius, leader of the Council of the Ancients, and his younger brother, the Pillar Lord. When the Pillar Lord attempted to overthrow the Capital Government, he sculpted and brought to life the Pillar species to use them as his army.

However, his coup attempt was discovered and thwarted by the Council, which led to the Pillar Lord and all the Pillars he created being banished to a far away realm. However, the Pillar Lord managed to regroup them and reform them into the Pillar Legion, declaring himself as Legate (which is the title of the commander of a legion in Roman times). At that time, the Pillar Legion was more of a warlord clique than an organized nation. The Pillar Lord began to strengthen the Legion, which eventually took over more dimensions nearby. Once they were bigger, the Pillar Lord reformed the Legion into the more organized First Pillar Imperium, abbreviated as the FPI, declaring himself emperor.

The FPI continued their expansion until the Capital Government and the Council of the Ancients realized the threat. They began a war with the FPI, but the Pillars were prepared, and forced them into a stalemate. That war soon ended in a white peace.

The FPI continued expanding throughout the eons, and fighting a vast assortment of wars with the Capital Government, which usually ended in stalemates followed by white peaces or minor losses for either side. The Pillars weren't cruel or oppressive to any non-Pillar residents in their territory, but were known to brainwash many of them with propaganda, thus making them ***TRUST***the Pillars.

One of the main reasons why the FPI could hold off the Capital Government so many times was because the Capital Government's war effort was almost always headed by the Grand Pillar, and the Pillar Lord was able to predict a lot of his tactics due to their history. Since they knew each other well, neither could really catch the other off guard, which usually led to stalemates.

However, the last few of the wars between the FPI and the Capital Government began to weaken the FPI. The Grand Pillar had more advisors and strategists helping each time, who would come up with new tactics that the Pillar Lord couldn't predict. The FPI began to lose territory and strength one war after the other.

The final nail in the coffin was the last war between the FPI and Capital Government prior to the Orang Crusade, which was actually still centuries ago. This time, the Grand Pillar decided to appoint Lord Bread as the commander of the war effort for the Capital Government. Lord Bread was completely unpredictable to the Pillar Lord, as before the latter's banishment, the two had hardly known each other. Eventually, this war resulted in the destruction of nearly the entire FPI, with the remnants disappearing and the Pillar Lord going into hiding after being defeated in battle by the Grand Pillar.

#### Second Pillar Imperium

For centuries, the Pillars had disappeared to the public, and the First Pillar Imperium was gone. However, the remnants remained in hiding, regathering over centuries. The Pillar Lord managed to form the Second Pillar Imperium, which is informally known as simply "the Pillar Imperium". However, the Pillar Lord kept his new empire in far away dimensions with no other beings in order to not alert anyone else of their existence.

The Pillar Imperium continued to grow in power, while remaining in hiding, for hundreds of years, until they allied with the being known as Orang following his deal with the Pillar Lord. Orang was meant to acquire the Octahedron of Transcendence, and split its power between himself and the Pillars, allowing them to reign over reality as equals. However, once Orang did acquire the Octahedron, he refused to split it and kept all power to himself, then proceeded to order the Pillars around. Orang, being a Transcendent by now, could not be questioned, and although the Pillars, especially the Pillar Lord himself, hated it, they had to accept that the Pillar Imperium was now subject to Orang's orders.

At the end of the war, the Omniscronchulon, who had once attacked reality before but had been banished, had reawakened. The Omniscronchulon temporarily wreaked havoc, but Meme Man and Orang managed to work together in order to re-banish it and save reality. Orang felt guilty about his actions and surrendered to the DAO. Realizing hope was lost, the Pillar Imperium surrendered, and retreated into the far out dimensions, not to be seen again until the Jonathan Crisis.

#### The Jonathan Crisis

Only a few days after the official formation of the Resistance and the beginning of the Jonathan Crisis, the Pillar Lord, on behalf of the Pillar Imperium, formed a coalition with Jonathan and his forces. This coalition became the Alliance.

After the Eversiscendants joined the Alliance, they often communicated via encrypted messages with the Pillar Imperium about their planning, though some of those messages were discovered by Investigator Rog'tor and other Resistance operatives.

A Pillar fleet led by Admiral Quartz was also responsible for attacking and presumably destroying RCARS, deeply weakening the Resistance.

The Pillars were later present for the Battle of Ardonia, with the Mentors joining their fleet.
