## Lore

### Origin

Once humans and vampires were already created, many gods tried to conceive their own childs, made as a resemble of their own. Baphomet particularly tried to create a superior living form, mixing the qualities of both humans and animals. The offspring however, was a bunch of powerful, though irrational creatures who requires human blood to keep alive. Despite the hate and rage that these creatures caused around many gods, the Baphomet joyed on his creation and protect them.

Werewolf have high and well-balanced statistics, their only weakness remains on his metaphyisical attack and defense which is quite low. Werewolves mainly use heavy thrust and high damage physical attack.

Werewolf's main ability in combat is Force Shift. They use it to transform from human to werewolf anytime.

## Skins and variatons

### Human form

In his human form, werewolves have the same stats except for the attack base states (which are the same of humans)

### Full moon form

The full moon form is a special condition where the werewolf have a significant increase of his attack, defense and hitpoints, reducing the speed. The aura shifts to terrible.

The Fallen Angels became the first demons when the pain and illnes devoured by Tartarus reached the Hell and torned them up. Their purity and several abilities were partially or totally removed. Lucifer's and their commanders pride insisted creating a hierachy, giving Lucifer the Great Prince title.

The hellborns demons were made by the Fallen Angels as an attempt to take over the Hell's outer regions. They were conceived when Lucifer's lutenants found several passages across the Veil of Angels. They weren't able to go through them because of their inmensity. The hellborns are smaller in power but crueler and more violent than Fallen Angels (as they never knew the kindness of the good days).

Corrupted souls are the third and lesser class of demons. They are pulled downstream from Hades by the Styx. They're souls who made several deals with demons. They suffer Hell's agony and illness. They became violent and always try to scape from hell seeking some relief in the outer world.

Astral Projection

Astral projection is a movement ability. The user is able to create a hologram of himself instantaniously in any known places. Through this illusion, user is able to communicate and see another spaces.

## Effects

The Atral projection, as an illusion, cannot be damaged by physical attacks, though mental and metaphysical attacks are still very effective. When the user creates an astral projection, this hologram can move through walls, over cliffs etc.

The astral projection is used to project in distant places, as the oracles and guide at the tutorial usually does.

Astral projection base armor are: 20 metaphysical armor and 4 mind armor. It has a mental base attack of 24 points.
Deliverance Ministry

The deliverance ministry of the anglican church was created in the first Lambeth conference (1867) during a secret meeting with other protestan movements. Despite other opinions (as lutheranism or methodism) the Anglican arcbishop saw vampires and other non-human creatures as *doomed creatures without guilty or guidness.* He favoured the establishment of a secret mission in order to protect and guide them.

The deliverance ministry started in 1880 with two main purposes: To evangelize doomed creatures in the true faith and to gather knowledge around witchcraft and supernatural phenomena. Depiste they aren't directly governt by UK king, they're related to the old church of England. Thus, they are somehow related to British crown decisions.

Antonio Azevedo

## Appearances

**Antonio R. Azevedo** was a Centran physicist and engineer active early in the period of Centrum's unification. Together with Paul Bessa, he wrote and published the groundbreaking paper "The Derivation of a New Universal Theory of Relativity" in the *Annals of Theoretical Physics* in 0008 PCU. The Azevedo-Bessa Theory of Universal Relativity, named in honour of both scientists, permitted the development of faster-than-light travel by means of Drift Gates.
Joseph

Joseph Jackson (early known as J.) was an anglican priest who served in the LaFayette parish. He is a main character in the first season of the serie and plays occasionally along the serie.

## Biography

### Early years

Joseph Jackson was born in 1973. He never knew his father and grew up in Brooklyn as a problem child. Joseph attended to the to Anglican's diacons boarding school. His mother passed away in 1987 from lung cancer. Joseph tried to escape from the internship after his mother's death without success. During that year he met with priest Michael O'Conell, a member of the **Deliverance ministry,** a secret order of the Anglican church. Michael took Joseph with him to be part of the order.

### Member of the deliverance ministry

Joseph trained and studied in Canterbury for three years as a deliverance minister. After his 18th birthday, he was commisioned to eliminate a nest of vampires in Wales. He succeeded but was terribly traumatized as he saw himself guilty for the death of 10 children.  Two years later he was sent back to the United State to join forces with the Luteran assasination squad where he met the vampire Sofia. That was the first attempt to destroy Lucifer's minions in north america but the failed. He tried to have an affair with Sofia but she refused to take part of it.

After that mission (where he lost his left ring finger and part of the left middle finger) he take duties as custodian of several vampires under the protection of the anglican church. He had ten unknown vampires under his surveillance before meeting with the Gallagher family. He moved to LaFayette, AL in 2010 as a priest while overwatching the family.

### First Season

He plays as a guide for the Gallaghers after adding Lucy to their family. He tries to instruct Lucy how control her new condition. In the later season, the Peter's vengeance order from Catholic church attacks his home as he is discovered to help a non-recognized vampire. He lies deadly injured in the aftermath (despite Lucy killed most of the men) and ask her to let him go in peace.
Frenzy mode

Frenzy mode is a common mode for vampires and werewolves. It is induced when the creature goes out of control (the rage control reaches zero). There is a physical and psycological change in creature, increasing the strength, speed, agility and hit points. When frenzy mode is set, abilities cannot be used.

## Appereance changes

The player bends over into fourth legs position as an animal, the claws and fangs pronounces and pupils dilates. The skin turns reddish and several veins arise.

## Stats modifiers

* **Strength:** +15%
* **Velocity:** +10%
* **Agility:** +15%
* **Hit points:** +5%
* **Healing factor:** +5%
* **Perception:** -15%
* **Aura:** Changes from any value to violent (15-66-66)

## Effects

There is no other effect associated with this mode.

## Inducing

The Frenzy mode is set when rage control goes zero. This can be made achieving many successive attacks (because it uses an accumulative counter). The mode continuously consumes energy (as most modes). When energy points reaches 20 the frenzy is over. There are some abilites that cause frenzy mode (as Blood Soaked Vengeance ) or reduces the rage control (as Rising Fury ability).
Axius Institute for Higher Education

The **Axius Institute for Higher Education** is a university on the planet Axius. In the 0300s PCU, Gabriel Fonseca served as Professor of Transrelativistic Physics at the Institute.

The university ran its own publishing house, Axius Institute Press.

Objects

Objects are another important gameplay mechanics. There exist a lof ot objects that have value as weapons, potions, collectables or required devices to fulfill specific objectives. Objects can be gathered by exploring, defeating certain enemies, achieving missions or buying them. The items are stocked up in the player chamber when the player returns to it. Objects can be equiped and used during combat or in the bazaar (or other exchange places).

All objects have three characteristics: **Weight**, **resistance** and **durability**. Item's weight reduces player mobility. Durability is a measure of the object's lifespan while resistance measures how many damage can the object manage before reducing its lifespan. For example a knife have 1 unit weight, 30 durability and 30 resistance. This means that the knife will suffer no damage if the resistance of the other object (or creature's armo) during a collision is below 30. If it is not the case, let say that a shield has a resistence of 50, durability will be reduced by the difference between both resistences (in this case 20). When durability reaches zero, the object brokes.

## Classification

### Weapons

*See Weapon*

Weapons are common basic objects in the gamplay. The main purpose is ot cause damage over the enemy. There are a lot of types with advantages, weakness etc.

### Items

See Items

Items are consumable and non-consumable objects obtained from missions and through the gameplay. Some of them are collectables and other are used to unlock new abilities, weapons or to fulfill missions.

### Boosts

Boosts are special consumbables used to recover some stat or increase the recovery speed. Despite items, boosts are buyed in the Bazaar or in the Irish pub.
Centrum-Rialtis Drift Gate

Dickinson's Real Deal

**Dickinson's Real Deal** is a ship-auction television programme, broadcast on the Assembly's premiere Freeview service, Interstellar Television (ITV), and presented by David Dickinson.

## Background

First being broadcast in 0296PCU during the height of the Privateer services boom, Dickinson's Real Deal follows ship auction mogul, David Dickinson, as he navigates the high stakes world of Prize Ship auctions. Privateer crews, after having disabled or otherwise salvaged hostile vessels, are able to sell their captured Prize Ships at ship auctions across the Cluster; at such events, Dickinson provides advice and estimations to these Privateer sellers, in order to maximise their profits.

"Now this Frontier Outrider, it's a fairly intact model - in fact, if you push hard for it, you could be looking at 50, 60 pounds for it?"
## Behind the Scenes

Dickinson's Real Deal is a British Antiques TV Show, similar to (and a lot lower quality than) the famous Antiques Roadshow, hosted by the eccentric (and heavily tanned) David Dickinson.

In *The Sojourn*, an in-joke grew on *The Sojourn* Official Discord that Privateer Prize Ship auctions would lead to shows like Dickinson's Real Deal appearing on free-to-view broadcast channels, owing to the Assembly's position as "Space Britain" according to the Discord. Also, this was technically Dan's idea.
CSV Acrisius

**CSV Acrisius** was a vessel in the Centrum Defence Force, that was heavily damaged in a friendly fire attack following the Battle of Atamara Crossroads.

## History

The Acrisius partook in the Battle of Atamara Crossroads. After the victory, Captain Cassandra Farren ordered a small group of ships, including the Acrisius, to chase fleeing Frontier Union Militia into The Howling. During the chase, the Acrisius was falsely identified as a hostile vessel by Cpt. Farren's ship, and was thusly fired upon, leading to 47 members of its crew losing their lives.

## Behind the Scenes

The Acrisius was likely named after King Acrisius, the Grandfather of the hero Perseus. According to legend, Acrisius was prophecised to be killed by his Grandson. During the course of his life, he ended up moving to the city of Larissa, where he was accidentally killed by an errant discus thrown by Perseus.
CSV Belvedere

The **CSV *Belvedere*** was a *Confiance*-class Frigate fielded by the Centran Defence Force.

## History

The *Belvedere* was likely deployed either before or during the Frontier War.

## Behind The Scenes

*Belvedere* could refer to numerous things. In Italian, it means "Beautiful Sight", and is used by places across the Old and New Worlds. Notably, a British military helicopter type called the Belvedere exists, and might be the origin of the name.

Advari

The **Advari** are a sapient species native to the CDC-41-Gamma nebula.

## Biology and appearance

The Advari are a bipedal species, and superficially resemble the Humans of the Tantalus Cluster. However, they have several traits which are not seen in Humans, including golden "amber-like" irises, grey-blue skin tones, and a chorus-like, flanged voice. Examining several Human corpses recovered from the ship *Mariana*, Revion Jedrish Carradin remarked that Humans and his species also exhibited several internal differences.

Advari physiology is less tolerant than Humans' to high *g*-forces, and accelerations that a Human will only find demanding may be lethal to an Advari. Certain Human foods are also disagreeable to Advari, though they are nonetheless able to drink alcohol.

## History

### Early history

According to their religious mythology, early in their history the Advari found salvation in a messiah figure called Advar, in whose deference they named themselves. The Advari became governed by a theocratic, imperial monarchy. The species spread throughout their nebula by means of Lauralyn Conduits.

### Contact with Humanity

In the year 0304 PCU according to the Tantalus Cluster calendar, the Advari were ruled by Empress Valendra the Sixth. In that year, they made contact with the Humans of the Tantalus Cluster when the Avalon Exploratory Initiative crossed to the nebula. Initial contact was violent as the existence of life outside the nebula conflicted with the tenets of their religion.

## Notable People

* Empress Valendra the Sixth
* Cardinal Hastus Arvannis
* High Cleric Darsellia Lantris
* Inquistor Castian Vadric
* Revion Jedrish Carradin
* Cindra Tacira

## Behind the Scenes

Originally known only as the "CDC-41-Gamma aliens", the Advari were first named in the Season One Volume Two episode *Dust and Shadow*.

Some of the differences between Humans and the Advari may not be universal: thus far we only have five visual examples to go off, and the Advari may be just as diverse as Humanity (for example, Empress Valendra's skin tone is distinctly bluer than Castian Vadric's). However, we know for certain that their ethereal, flanged, chorus-like voices is a universal trait, as all voiced characters of this species so far have had such a voice. Their voices resemble those of the Turians from *Mass Effect*.

Arcelia Abescal

## Appearances

**Arcelia Abescal**, known by the sobriquet "the Pirate Queen of Atamara", was the leader of the Paleborn pirate group that was active in the late 200s PCU. She became one of the founding figures of the Frontier Union and commanded its forces at the outset of the Frontier War aboard her flagship, the *Wicked Witch*.

## Biography

By 0290 PCU, Arcelia Abescal was an infamous figure in Outer Tantalus, becoming renowned for her brutality and cunning as leader of the Paleborn, escaping capture by the Centran Defence Force time and again and seizing numerous prizes from civilians and other pirate groups. In the years leading up to the declaration of independence by the four Frontier systems from the Centrum Assembly, Abescal established contacts with the Maialan revolutionary Kaito Hakim, allowing her fleet to grow well beyond the size usually expected of a pirate band.

Following the *Primrose* Incident of 0290 PCU, insurrectionary violence removed Centran control from the four Frontier systems of Maiala's Rest, Dalstaff, Teldrin, and Atamara Crossroads. Abescal was the fourth member of the Union Council that convened on Teldrin to proclaim the independence of the four systems as the Frontier Union, but she was not present in person. Instead, Abescal's fleet served as the Union's earliest means of power projection, advancing into the Axius System to seize ships and supplies in an effort to force the Centrum Assembly to recognise the Frontier's independence and gain more favourable terms for the delivery of essential supplies to the four systems. The unilateral decision by Kaito Hakim and Absecal to attack Axius was opposed by Freewarden Tacito Lemaire of Dalstaff and Fleet Leader Devin Tandil, who believed that Abescal's reputation for brutality would undermine support in the Assembly for the Union's independence.

In the ensuing First Battle of Axius, Abescal's forces attacked the planet of Fairfax, striking the two stations of Fort Weaver and Fairfax Ravelin Wharf, inflicting brutal casualties on the unsuspecting Centran defenders. Given Axius' position as a major recruiting ground for the Centran Defence Force, many of the dead were cadets and junior officers. Abescal personally led numerous boarding actions, and withdrew from the system with 30% more ships than she had arrived with. The brutality of Abescal's attack, however, ended any hopes of a negotiated settlement to the crisis and ensured that Centrum would see total victory over the Union as the only acceptable outcome of the Frontier War.

## Personality and traits

As renowned for her cunning as she was infamous for her brutality, Abescal habitually led boarding actions in person. She regularly carried a dagger and pistol, and sported a coat decorated with the rank insignia of dead Centran Defence Force officers.

Cardeus Brink System

The **Cardeus Brink System** is the farthest system from the centre of the Tantalus Cluster. It is home to the famed Carina Observatory and the now-assembled Edric's Gate.

## Description

The Cardeus Brink system consists of two planets and a small asteroid belt. Cardeus I, the only terrestrial planet in the system, is home to agricultural communes like Aiden's Prospect.

Given its dim red dwarf primary and status as the system farthest from the centre of the Cluster, Cardeus Brink experiences the lowest amount of light pollution of any known system in Tantalus. This unique feature makes the system the ideal site for astronomical observations. Numerous telescopes and observatory stations were constructed within the system for the purpose of observing stars beyond Tantalus, the most famous being the Carina Observatory, which hosts the most powerful telescope and scanning system humanity has ever constructed.

Access into the system can only be made through the highly restricted space of Seravis Major.

## History

The far reaches of the Cardeus Brink System were explored in 0222 PCU by a Centran Defence Force Discovery Service expedition led by Blair Bellamy; the expedition was the farthest any Human had yet travelled from Centrum and laid the foundation for the establishment of the Carina Observatory.

The system became home to a number of observatories and research facilities. Cardeus Terminal was constructed as a large spaceborne settlement and science facility for researchers working on the system's numerous stations.

The system fell to the Frontier Union during the Tandil Rush offensive in the early days of the Frontier War.

While working for the Carina Observatory, the renowned astrophysicist Dr. Sadavar Edric wrote the first ever report on the appearance of the nebula CDC-41-Gamma in 0301 PCU.

Cardeus Terminal would later be placed under the direct control of Dr. Edric, renaming the station as Gatehouse Station. For four years, the station would house the construction site for the largest and most advanced Drift Gate ever constructed, Edric's Gate, named in the doctor's honour, and would be the staging ground for the Avalon Expedition to CDC-41-Gamma in search of new worlds and resources.

Cappy

**Cappy The Capsule** is a playable character in Yo! Noid 2 Game of a Year Edition.

### Label

noid

He differs from The Noid in that he has a double jump. Both jumps combined are weaker than a normal jump. Swinging will not reset his double jump, however slopes will. This makes it possible for Cappy to scale steep surfaces other Noids cannot.

## Appearance

Cappy looks similar to The Noid except he is an oblong shape, has no limbs, and has smaller ears, eyes, and mouth. He also does not make any other facial expressions.

## Trivia

* The only sounds he makes are someone saying Noid, including his walking sounds.
* Cappy's model was originally used as the Noid model used for testing the game. This is referenced in his nickname "Proto Man", which itself is a reference to Proto Man, a character from the Mega Man series of video games.
* Cappy's name comes from the Unity default "Capsule Collider", which is frequently used as a test shape before art is introduced.
* In order to unlock Cappy in GoaY, you must find all the pizza chicken shrines hidden throughout the levels.
* In the official Yo! Noid 2 server there's a channel where you can type Noid. These Noids are supposedly used to power Cappy's jumps in GoaY.

Advari Flier

The **Advari Flier** is a light combat craft of the Holy Advari Empire. It appears to fill a role similar to the Centran S-36 Stardancer Multi-Role Attack Fighter. These craft are typically unmanned, and capable of being manufactured in large volumes by foundries aboard Advari Lightships.

## Design

Advari Fliers have a narrow body flanked by wing-like lightsails. They are extremely fast and capable of very high accelerations, and their propulsion system does not conform to the same rules as standard Human propulsion designs. Fliers are armed with an unknown energy weapon system.

Advari Fliers are typically unmanned, as in combat they are capable of accelerations that would kill an Advari, though nevertheless they have the facilities to carry passengers.

Carida

**Carida** is the second moon of the gas giant Arasin Maxima in the Centrum System. Like the planet of Destrum, it has been colonized by Humanity. The moon is orbited by Harmony Station, an orbital embassy.

## History

During the Arasinian Commerce War, Carida and the rest of the moons of Arasin Maxima were the site of fighting between the Centrum Defence Force and the Savaragi-Rota Alliance.

The moon was the site of the signing of the Carida Concordance, an early treaty of the Centrum Assembly governing the safe operation of Drift Drives and Drift Gates.

## Behind the Scenes

Carida shares its name with the planet Carida, the site of the Imperial Stormtrooper training academy in the *Star Wars* Expanded Universe.

Axian Flaky Sea Salt

**Axian Flaky Sea Salt** is a food seasoning from Axius.

## Description

Prized by chefs across the Cluster, the salt presumably became scarce, like most other foodstuff, as the Great Famine spread across the cluster following the Frontier War. Mathias Croft of the *Guinevere* was particularly fond of the salt, keeping a stash saved aboard his vessel for special occasions.
Guinevere (horse)

## Guinevere

**Guinevere** was a horse owned by the prestigious Farren Family.

## Biography

Guinevere was a Black Rialtan mare, likely born on Rialtis IV in the Rialtis System, before being bought by the Farren estate, and transferred to their grounds as a riding horse.

The horse was used often by a young Cassandra Farren for riding training. Although not a very good rider, Cass once stole Guinevere and attempted to flee her family estate. Riding for approximately an hour, Cass was eventually found by the estate's security, and brought back.

After this, it's unknown what happened to Guinevere. Cass says "Our family had a stables on the estate, back before the famine when people still kept animals like that", suggesting that Guinevere may have either been slaughtered or otherwise killed, due to an inability to feed the animal, likely alongside all other horses in the family's stables.

The Privateer vessel *Guinevere*, owned by Cass, is named after Guinevere.
Battle of the Atamara Crossroads

The **Battle of the Atamara Crossroads**, also known as the **Battle of the Crossroads**, was the final battle of the Frontier War. Fought between the Centran Defence Force and rogue elements of the Frontier Union Militia in the Atamara Crossroads System, the battle was fought over the course of three days as Unioner forces attempted to seize control of a Drift Gate to conduct a relativistic attack on Centrum.

## Prelude

After failing to defeat the Centran Defence Force at the Fourth Battle of Axius, it was increasingly clear that the Frontier Union would lose the war. As the Union began surrender negotiations with the Centrum Assembly, embittered elements of the Frontier Union Militia went rogue and resolved to seize a Drift Gate in the Atamara Crossroads System. In a last-ditch attempt to win the war, they planned to accelerate an asteroid to relativistic speeds and attack Centrum itself, causing an extinction-level event.

## Battle

The Battle of the Atamara Crossroads was an especially brutal engagement, fought over three days and in nearly total darkness. The Centran Defence Force ultimately defeated the rogue Unioner force and thwarted their plans.

## Aftermath

The Battle of the Atamara Crossroads claimed the lives of thousands and left many of those who survived permanently-scarred. As the Frontier Union Militia retreated, Captain Cassandra Farren led a task unit of three ships into the Howling to pursue withdrawing ships. Sleep-deprived and lacking situational awareness in the dust cloud, Farren ordered the destruction of the CSV *Acrisius* in the mistaken belief that it was a Union vessel, causing a disastrous fratricide incident that killed 47 CDF servicemen. With the end of the war imminent, the incident was officially suppressed, which provoked Farren to resign from the Centran Defence Force.

In the battle's aftermath, the Frontier Union agreed to unconditionally surrender. While the battle ended in a Centran victory, it was nevertheless remembered as "the blackest day in Centran history."

Among the dead at Atamara was the sister of Centran Defence Force officer Michael Favara. The loss of his sister drove Favara towards a psychotic break, which led him to perpetrate the Avalon Bombings against the Unioner element of the Avalon Exploratory Initiative in 0304 PCU.

Friendly Expedience

The Friendly Expedience, along with the Swift Conveyance and one of the Gatehaulers, stalked by an Advari lightship.

## Appearances

### First appearance

*Contact, Wait Out*

The ***Friendly Expedience*** is a Merician Treasure Ship under the command of Captain Maxine Blake. As of around 100th of Equinox, 305 PCU, the ship has rejoined the main Avalon Expedition Fleet.

## History

Shortly before departing to CDC-41-Gamma, Cpt. Blake hired on a PMC crew to serve as light protection on the expedition.

After arriving in CDC-41-Gamma, the *Expedience* met up with two other ships - the Treasure Ship *Swift Conveyance* and one of the Gatehaulers of the Avalon Exploratory Initiative. Cpt. Blake prepared a widebeam signal into the nebula, but before the small flotilla could get underway and closely examine the local space-time anomalies, the *Expedience*'s PMC escort was destroyed by a local Advari lightship, and Blake's flotilla was forced into hiding in an interference band of a local supermassive giant.

Eight months later, Blake's initial emergency signal was heard by elements of the Avalon Expedition Fleet. After some decoding of the transmission thanks to the help of one Mathias Croft, the *Avalon* dispatched one of their attached warships, the *Guinevere*, to the location of the signal. There, the ship's crew heard of Captain Blake's precarious position, being hunted by a still on-the-prowl lightship. With her ships too slow to outrun the vessel and make a break for the Lauralyn Conduits, Blake was forced to hunker down in the interference band and stay put.

With the *Guinevere*'s help, Blake and her fleet were able to escape from hiding, with the *Guinevere* pulling off a dangerous slingshot manoeuvre into the local gas giant's atmosphere, creating a wake large enough for the small fleet to ride out with them before the pursuing Advari lightship could strike. Thanks to the *Guinevere*'s efforts, Blake's entire flotilla escaped unscathed, and rejoined the broader Avalon Fleet.

Black Centenary

**The Black Centenary** is the colloquial name for a cascade of devastating events that rocked the Tantalus Cluster immediately following the devastating end to the Frontier War.

## Event

In the Summer of 300PCU, following the catastrophic Battle of the Atamara Crossroads that saw the deaths of over 10,000 people on both sides and the acceleration of food insecurity in the process, both the Centrum Assembly and Frontier Union lacked the resources, manpower, or ships to effectively patrol and defend territories under their control.

To this end, Piracy and slavery grew rapidly and with little pushback, especially in poorer regions of the cluster, with some of the most desperate bands turning to cannibalism, raiding settlements merely to ward off starvation. This only further exasperated the struggles each civilisation had in transporting the already limited foodstuffs they had around the cluster.

The extinction-level threat of the encroaching Great Famine became so absolute that many government officials and critical staffers simply abandoned their posts, wanting to spend their final days with family and loved ones. This societal trauma reached across all of humanity, creating a fog of confusion, fear, mistrust, and depressing acceptance of the fate that would soon befall them.

The Black Centenary effectively ended with the discovery of CDC-41-Gamma. Although at first of little note, the Nebula quickly proved itself to be an encouraging prospect - being within range of more experimental Drift Gate designs, the sudden emergence of the nebula proved a beacon of hope to the people of Tantalus, and with a goal now within their grasp, the entire cluster was generally motivated towards this new possibility of survival. Following this, the Avalon Exploratory Initiative was established.

Cindra Tacira

**Cindra Tacira** is a personal assistant and aide to Empress Valendra the Sixth of the Holy Advari Empire.

## Biography

At some point, Cindra became the assistant and personal aide of Empress Valendra the Sixth, the ruling leader of the Holy Advari Empire in CDC-41-Gamma. In the year 0304 PCU according to the Tantalus Cluster calendar, Cindra accompanied the Empress to an initiation ceremony for new clerics of the Faith Eternal.

## Personality

Cindra appears timid, but diligent in her duties, following the command of her Empress unquestioningly. Like most Advari, she is a devoted follower of the Faith Eternal, and sees the Empress as the embodiment of Advar's will, even when her decisions may go against the Faith Eternal's policy.

## Relationships

### Empress Valendra the Sixth

> *"Advar works through you, my lady. If it was your choice to spare those villagers from sacrifice, then Advar willed it so. Things are the only way they could be."*
> - Cindra to Empress Valendra the Sixth.
>
>

Cindra is somewhat overawed by Empress Valendra the Sixth, seeing her as the embodiment of Advar's will, often not recognising when the Empress is making a joke. When the Empress chose to slip away from her duties for a tryst with Inquisitor Castian Vadric, Cindra was left to deal with her schedule.

Advar Primaris

**Advar Primaris**, or simply **Primaris**, is the capital of the Holy Advari Empire of the CDC-41-Gamma nebula. Located within the Aegis, it is the seat of the Imperial Household and the Faith Eternal.

## Geography

Although little has been seen of the planet outside of the Imperial Palace, the sounds of cicadas at the end of *Yesterday's War* suggest that the planet has a tropical climate. It's possible that Advar Primaris, despite being the capital of the empire, is subject to the exact same squalorous conditions outside the palace and religious facilities, much like Sirianadin.
