Monsior

**Monsior** was a terrestrial planet in the Cassiopeia Galaxy, covered entirely in mountains. The planet was the home of the Monsiorians, a cultural group comprised of Praeliorians. Monsior was once a colony of the Praeliorian Empire, lost after the War of the Crystals.

## Description

The planet Monsior was a rocky world situated in the southern reaches of the Praeliorian Remnants, a few thousand light years south of the imperial capital planet of Praelior. Monsior had no moons, at least none large enough to be viewed easily from space.

From space, Monsior took on a grey, brown, and white coloration and had considerable cloud cover. The surface of the planet was entirely covered in steep mountains, giving Monsior an alpine climate that generally saw clouded skies. The presence of these mountain ranges made it rather difficult for larger spacefaring ships to land on the planet's surface. Elaborate cave systems could be found near the base of some of these mountains.

### Government

As a former colony of the Praeliorian Empire, the planet was once governed by the **Monsiorian Duchy**. A member of the imperial royal family was granted the title of **Duke** or **Duchess** and placed in control of Monsior's government operations. After the fragmentation of the Empire, the dukedom heavily declined in power, leaving the planet deeply decentralized in terms of governance.

## History

### Age of the Empire

In its prime, Monsior served as a proud colony of the Praeliorian Empire. Overseen by a royal duchy, Monsior remained in relative peace for many centuries. The planet and its people kept positive relations with the mother capital of Praelior.

### The War of the Crystals

During the War of the Crystals, many imperial worlds were lost in the destruction and chaos that surrounded a thirty-year war. Monsior was one such world that was lost to the war, with the members of the Monsiorian Duchy either killed or left scattered to the remnants of the Empire's domain in space.

### The Era of Diamond Dust

Ever since the end of the war and the start of the Era of Diamond Dust, Monsior and its inhabitants had remained relatively untouched by the Empire after its fragmentation. The name Monsior fell into obscurity for most imperial citizens still living on Praelior and its moons. Left mostly forgotten by what was left of the Empire, Monsior survived alone for over a thousand years, remembered only as one of the many remnants of a once powerful empire.

#### The Trail of the Inquisitors

In the latter half of the year 5957 ASA, Elite Inquisitors Shock Sattackite and Passion Sternsaphira—aided by their ward Jazzilia Bornitas—found a paper trail from a recent rebel takedown in the Praeliorian city of Licentia that led to Monsior. Assisted by Elite Inquisitor Mia Nimmoi, the group of imperials led a mission to Monsior in search of a rebel cell or a potential rebel network working against the efforts of the Empire.

## Inhabitants

The main inhabitants of Monsior were a population of predominantly Praeliorians that called themselves Monsiorians.
