February 2023 - Kiast (Planet)

Kiast is a terrestrial planet in the Nilgaard sector of the Outer Rim territories inhabited by a subspecies of Sephi, who rule the planet from their highborne skyhooks and floating cities. Its inhospitable surface, and deadly sulfuric atmosphere surrounding it, are contrasted by clear blue skies above the thick cloud cover.

Recorded history on Kiast began with the settling of the planet, some 2000 years ago by Gand settlers. Finding the planet’s atmosphere more manageable than Type I atmospheres, they settled the toxic surface in an attempt to start several mining colonies. No permanent settlement was ever created, however, the Gand stayed on the surface until this day, ferrying materials and ore from the surface and trading it with the galaxy.

To Be Decided

April 2023 - Vatali Empire

Born from the bloodlines of the Sephi monarchs, the Vatali Empire was founded to extend the reach of the monarchy into the Kiast System. Mirroring Sephi civilization, it is ruled under a royal lineage of monarchs that were entrusted to rule the Kiast System from Kiast.

Derived from a bloodline of royal lineage, the monarchy is comprised of successors and precursors from the Anasaye line of heirs to the Astral Throne. The firstborn of the ruling monarch traditionally inherits the throne after the death of its precursor, or in rare cases, when the former monarch retires from the Astral Throne. While this has provided a clear line of succession for centuries, firstborn twins are a troublesome burden to the line of succession and has resulted in at least one instance where the heir was left unclear.
