Holy Celestial Empire

The Holy Celestial Empire is an Empire founded on Planet Genesys following The Cataclysm under will of the Holy Church of Genesys. They were one of the front runners in the Revelations Project in an effort to maintain super soldiers to fight back the Darkling, and as such have taken much territory to do what is required. They are ruled by a Royal Family and The Church who unified to create this new kingdom.

## History

The Kingdom formed in 57 A.C.I. in response to The Church partnering with the Kingdom of Vraxis in an effort to inspire the world under a single power. Since then they have found themselves challenged by many rival kingdoms and empires who wish to claim the title as The Holy Kingdom. They are the financial backers of the Revelations Project, home to the Light Tech Corporation, and a producer of some of the finest warriors.

In the year 645 they began planning the Monster Mountain Campaign three years in advance to reclaim the vast rocky mountains territory and open up trade far easier with the other half of the continent. In 648 they began this attempt and are now at war with the monsters of the land.

## System of Government

The government of the Celestial Empire is broken down into five individual components with the Royal Family on top; though often listening to the wishes of The Church.

### The Royal Family

The Royal Family is the technical leader of the Celestial Empire, as prior to its new name branding it was the Kingdom of Vraxis. Only after the alliance with The Church did it establish the new name. Out of respect for this and lack of interest in the basics of governing, The Church stays out of the 'mundane' affairs of the Kingdom. Thus the royal family is in charge of issuing orders, laws, and other decrees pertaining to the Kingdom. They have the power to draft others as well. Overall they have the ultimate power and say over the Empire.

### The Church

The Church is the second in command of the Empire; though more often than not they leave the politics to the Royal Family's decision. They have from time to time influenced the Royal Family though their main concern is maintaining law and name of their church power. Despite the Revelations Project and Light Tech Industries having their own representation in the government, they are both dictated by The Church overall which also holds some level of power over both the Royal Family and the Military.

The Church itself is divided into sub factions which start with the Church Leadership Commission which rules over the actions of the church as a council of twelve. They make the rules that all others must follow.

Below them are the Representatives that bring forth the ideas and ideals of the Church, acting as members in the government of the kingdom and across the other factions. They act as messengers usually.

The Priests in turn are the low end leaders of the Church that act in the various communities of the Kingdom, carrying on the word and wishes of their leaders. They are the bulk of the members inside the church as they carry on all other tasks as well.

The Church also has its own guards and warriors divided as follows.

#### Shadow Guard

The Shadow Guard are the elite of the elite, sometimes taken from the Revelations Project to protect the Church leaders. They wield unknown levels of power, though are rumoured to be A-Class or S-Class.

#### Black Guard

The Black Guard are the assassins of The Church, often sent after those who would speak out against the view and ideals of The Church.

#### Bronze Guard

The Bronze Guard are those who protect the Train Cars that go around the Kingdom in the event of Darkling or Monster raids.

#### Gold Guard

The Gold Guard are those who protect most representatives of The Church from any threats while in public.

#### Silver Guard

The Silver Guard are those who patrol the capitol of the kingdom.

#### White Guard

The White Guard are special ops that hunt and gather intel on Darkling Hives, often engaging and reporting back whatever they find. They lack powers like those within the Revelations Project; though they are certainly super human.

### The Military

The Military of the Celestial Kingdom is an entity that responds to word of both Church and Royal Family. Despite following orders when needed, they opt to act on their own whims during all other times outside of war, such as to hunt the Monsters and Darkling. Despite the Revelations Project and Light Tech Industries having their own representation in the government, they are both dictated by The Church overall which also holds some level of power over both the Royal Family and the Military.

There are 5 Armies total in the Empire, each commanded by a General. Four of these armies are divided to the cardinal coordinates of North, South, East, and West. The last is the Central Army under the command of the Grand General who leads all five armies, responding directly to the whims of Church or Royal Family as necessary.

Beneath each General are Advisors who might be retired members of the other four factions such as the Revelations Project. Beneath them are the Admirals, the Commanders, the Captains, the Lieutenants, and then the Soldiers themselves.

### Revelations Project

The Revelations Project is a project devised of The Church and backed by Light Tech Industries as well as The Church, supported by The Military, and commanded by the Royal Family. They are one of the most important ops in the entire kingdom as they produce super soldiers with powers to fight Darkling, Monsters, and other Kingdoms in times of war. Despite the Revelations Project and Light Tech Industries having their own representation in the government, they are both dictated by The Church overall which also holds some level of power over both the Royal Family and the Military.

The R.P. have their own leadership that directs the project in the appropriate directions that benefit all the other factions of the Empire. They specialize in creating these soldiers as embryos long ahead of birth by infusing the Celestial River into proper candidates (usually offspring of soldiers). They also recruit naturally born fighters with powers.

Those with ability are divided among multiple categories starting with D-Class who are usually young, learning the craft. Next is C-Class who are advanced, usually ages 13-16. B-Class are the elite who in batches back military task forces in missions against monsters and Darkling. A-Class are the elite of the elite who handle important tasks in small groups, such as taking out a Darkling Hive or Monster Swarm. The Elite of the Elite's Elite are known as S-Class, who stand above all else as pillars of power; though usually only a certain number of A-Class can take on the S-Class rank (due to these limitations, those as strong as normal S-Class may remain as A-Class until a slot opens up). It is stated that a single S-Class can turn an entire army of Darkling or monsters into ash.

### Light Tech Industries

Light Tech Industries is a company that specializes in making Light based technology to combat monsters and Darkling. Despite being a corporation, they are vital to all factions in different ways, thus they have their own representation and demands in politics if they so wish. Despite the Revelations Project and Light Tech Industries having their own representation in the government, they are both dictated by The Church overall which also holds some level of power over both the Royal Family and the Military.
