Arkhosian Legion

## General Overview

Arkhoisans are a race of long-lived dragon-like species that is considered to be one of a few species who can utilize magic in their everyday life, from astral projections to telepathy. They are also known to utilize science along with the magic in the form of Alchemy being the medium for the two. The mentality of this concept of Alchemy is based upon how magic and science are actually one and the same. The society of the Arkhosian Legion is based upon the tribal system of Earth's ancient vikings, and while there are many tribes they do not actually have one Arkhosian to lead them all. In fact, their unique system of society has chieftains from each tribe. Each member of the clan is based upon their element that they are born from which they have many:

* The Flamestones - Fire
* The Frosthearts - Ice
* The Stonetails - Earth
* The Seascales - Water
* The Thunderhorns - Electricity
* The Darkeyes - Dark
* The Cloudwings - Wind
* The Lightfoot - Light
* The Ironclaw - Steel

Upon the death of a tribesman, the Arkhosian Legion holds a funeral right known as the 'Journey to Haven' where the deceased are carried by the Arkhosians to a final resting peace where they would perform songs for them. According to Arkhosian legends, it is believed that singing to the honored dead brings guidance and comfort as they ascend to the realm of the dragon gods known as Kalamaku, otherwise known as the Arkhosian equivalent of heaven or paradise.

## Established History

Arhkosians were once called Draconians from the ancient Earth of the Middle and Dark Ages and is regarded with fear and suspicion. This is derived from the mythical story about how Tiamat, the Arkhosian Evil God of Greed, would steal the dragon eggs of Bahamut's metallic dragons by sending her cultist minions to do so. They would then corrupt the eggs to turn them into Tiamat's servants. As the years goes on some of the ancient Arkhosians decided to live among a new city deemed Arkhosia and lived with another race. But it wasn't until these ancient Draconians were banished to the stars where they would decide to change their race into Arkhosia.

In the year 1803, the Arkhosian had lived a life of exile as well a life of progress especially space age technology. However, like with most races, a civil war had ensued amongst the various subspecies of Arkhosians and a terrorist group, The True Blood, which resulted in the destruction of most of the Lightfoot Clan and the only survivors of the Dian Massacre is Dian Mitne and his sister who fled to Earth. Both had lived there in 2010 for many years until himself and the new group of Arkhosians decided to create a new legion using their own base on Luna called Draconis One.

Around the beginning years of World War III the Arkhosians had developed a way to travel using their magic and left their base to find a new home using their ship that have some warp technology at the time. Here, they wandered the galaxy until they made contact with the Dragonian Kingdom in 2055 who provided them with a planet in which they would settle as their now permanent home.

In 2154, a massive tribal dispute between the Frostheart and the Flamestone Clans lead to the eventual banishment from Arkhosian society which had been under constant war with each other and it wasn't until the year 2412 when one of the Flamestone clan members did the unthinkable: married a Frostheart. This act lead to the rest of the tribal Arkhosians to lift the banishment of the Frosthearts and Flamestones with the help of the current chief of the Flamestone Clan, Thaddeus Flamestone.

The end of the Worthless War marked the collapse of the Commonwealth and in October of 2421, a terrorist organization calling themselves the Arkhosian Liberation People's Army caused the accidental deaths of 500 Roth refugees from Commonwealth I after the devastation by Baron Morphos. Due to this, the ALPA made the demands to remove Elder Chief Thaddeus Flamestone from his seat of power of the clan and to close all borders of non-Arkhosian. However, despite the best efforts to remove the threat, the motion to remove Chief Flamestone still stood. This led to him to plead with the other Elder Chiefs and voted to allow him to remain as Elder Chief at the price of excommunication of Drake Flamestone and the U.S.S. Arizona as well as a twenty four seven house arrest. With this agreement, Thaddeus relays this agreement to the Commonwealth Council stating that anyone rendering aid to the Arizona will be regarded as an act a diplomatic incident, this event comes to be later called The Flamestone Curse due to the severe damage to the Flamestone Clan's reputation.

In January of 2422, by recommendation of Ambassador Odin regaining his former rank as Fleet Admiral, the United Federation of Planets agrees to a pardon to the people of the Arkhosian Legion as well as allowing the Legion to remain as Starfleet members as well as the Shadow Commonwealth, under the condition that the Legion be under Starfleet surveillance due to the mistrust of the Arkhosian Legion as well as having one ship from the Legion make regular trips to the Alpha Quadrant. During the next several years, New Arkhosia Shipyard (later renamed Io Shipyard) created new ships of the line with Project Valhalla with several ships including the Thunderhorn, Frostheart, Flamestone, Stonetail, Seascale, Darkeye, Lightfoot, Cloudwing, and Ironclaw class and has been the main staple for the Legion's line of advanced starships.

However, in June of 2453, in an attack lead by the Gol had forced the Arkhosian Legion to withdraw from the Commonwealth Charter for failing to defend Io from the attack, signifying the end of the Commonwealth's era of prosperity.
