His fist to make us strong,
his spirit to heal us,
his crown to guide us.
These lines, spoken by all Malwegoll across Durgassa an ocean world, is the center of the institutions of Malwegoll Empire. Stories passed down from generation to generation, and the dedication of numerous archeologists serving the Emperor, have told the tale of a long lost civilization, sending off a portion of their own in hopes of the continuation of their race, although almost doomed to fail the now Emperor whom spoke of the god Durgassa, of which the planet is named, led the fledgling colony to prosperity. Having explored every crack and crevice of the world, the Emperor who has reigned for a thousand years speaks the word of Durgassa, a wise and enlightened god, the emperors word is law.

This is the lie which is told daily to citizens of the empire. In reality the empire is only two hundred years old, and the enlightenment of the emperor is a careful facade put together by a hereditary hegemon and a group of carefully selected scholars, to go through the records of history to make their history, the history, while the emperors apparent wiseness and intelligence is simply due to the careful selection of advisors.

The members of this species are solitary, helping to slow the reaching of confidential state information. They are also intelligent, resilient, conservationist, and deviant, of which are an obstacle to the states control on information, but allow for the cabal of scholars to be filled.

The empire follows an imperial cult surrounding a philosopher king, of which are made to believe exist. The empire praises fanatic spiritualism and authoritarianism.​
 
Intriguing. :) Welcome to AAR writing!
 
Interesting start to a first AAR! Is this with the new Lost Colony origin in Federations?
 
Welcome indeed. Will try to follow
 
Five years ago the emperor had announced his will to the public...
Telescreens across the world light up, an animated figure, carefully crafted to look like a real, living, god appears on the screen.

"
Citizens of the Empire, it is now my pleasure to announce that we have achieved greatness. Through divine manifestation and bargaining with the other gods we have enabled a special network and mechanisms to traverse the galaxy in record speeds. We shall embark on an epic journey to find and reunite with our home world, so that the remnants of our species may be united once more."

In the rig which was setup to broadcast this message, lies a laboratory, out of view, a new prototype engine has been setup, which allegedly transverses the newly 'created' hyperspace. In the same room, about a dozen of dead scientists litter the floors, bullets through there chest. Guards along with the current leader are transmitting data from a computer to an off-sight location. Elsewhere in the complex, a ship is being fitted to traverse the galaxy, a group of sociologists have met to discuss the best ways to unify the planet, microscopes are being fitted to see smaller than atoms, as well as making fabric to take part in this small space.​
 
Wow, that was bloody. Information quarantine taken to the fullest extent?
