National Pillars

National Pillars sometimes just shortened to Pillars, is a term used to describe very strong Beyond Grade As. It's usually used as a official title when referring to the 3 strongest Beyond Grade A of each of the Universal Grade Civilization, it can also be used as a honorary form of address for people who don't officially have the title but are at the level of the other National Pillars. Because the pillars of the universal civilization are fairly even in strength, the term can and usually is used as a good gage to compare Beyond Grade As with.

The reason some Beyond Grade As may not have the title is simply because they aren't direct members (Direct Line) of their Universal Civilization.

The term National Pillars is often used interchangeable with the terms Direct Line, and Direct Member. the actual difference between these terms is minimal as all National pillars are Direct Members but not all Direct Members are National Pillars.

The main reason why National Pillars are usually called a Direct Member is it's easier to just call them Direct members. Another reason why they are sometimes called Direct Member is that they are acting in a roll not associated with a National Pillars responsibility.

Because of how interchangeable and vague the title is applied. for the most part the only ones who are truly national pillars are the 3 strongest National Pillars of each civilization.

## Responsibility of National Pillars

The general convention is to have the Strongest National Pillars of their respective Universal Civilization be their President's Guard Captain. This convention seems to be tradition but can be refused seeing as Gaud was suppose to replace Clotti as the Dynasty's Guard Captain before he disappeared.

The official purpose of the National Pillars are "The three Universal Civilizations would occasionally have friction within the Central Galaxy, but because it was their base camp, they would never escalate into an all-out war. Thus, there was no need for so many Beyond Grade As to hold helm in the dynasty. They just needed a sufficient number for deterrence, and too many would instead waste their resources. It would be better to send the Beyond Grade As into other Star Fields to expand the control of the dynasty." in other words they where used as Deterrence.

Unofficially they were used as elite special ops, usually deployed and operated in secret. An example of this can be seen when Urranrell sent Clotti to hunt.

## Notes

1. ↑ The real reason why the wrong term is used sometimes is that the Translator or Author screws up and used the wrong term.
2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 Clotti was told to step down as guard captian and go kill someone in Chp. 1048, in Chp. 1069 he officially stepped down and started hunting ultimately he captured Travaler and another Beyond Grade A. in Chp. 1088 Han Xiao petitioned Urranrell to call him back after he was screwing up the development of the Beyond Grade A association.
