 ===== Introduction ===== ===== Introduction =====
-Elysia , officially the Elysian Celestial Empire, is a nation whose territory is located in the North-West sector of space. The Empire is bordered by [[faction:democratic_imperium_of_nepleslia]], the [[faction:freespacers:freespacers]] and the [[species:mishhuvurthyar]], as well as geographically speaking bordering [[nebula:ayame_s]], the largest cluster of black holes in known space, the 'Stars' and Xenn's Expanse.+Elysia , officially the Elysian Celestial Empire, is a nation whose territory is located in the North-West sector of space. The Empire is bordered by [[faction:democratic_imperium_of_nepleslia]], the [[species:freespacers]] and the [[species:mishhuvurthyar:mishhuvurthyar]], as well as geographically speaking bordering [[places:ayames_nebula]], the largest cluster of black holes in known space, the 'Stars' and Xenn's Expanse.
  
-The Elysian Celestial Empire is an theological aristocratic republic, based around an elected senate with supreme sovereignty. Its political ideology is enormously shaped by its deeply religious mentality, believing in its supremacy, right to all other territory in the universe and vaguely xeno-phobic and highly isolationist stance. It has the fourth-largest economy in the known universe, although its newly colonized system and use of both highly motivated workers ([[species:plebeian|plebeians]]) and effective slave-labour ([[seraph]]) may see this changing in the immediate future. Its isolationist nature and stance on preserving Elysia's culture means that foreigners are largely not welcome within the empire - requiring previous permission and required to stay in specified locations. Elysia is the joint third largest empire in terms of territory - with five planetary systems, and although dwarfed in term of military power by the [[species:mishhuvurthyar]] and [[faction:yamatai_star_empire]] remains a local power with increasing military potential.+The Elysian Celestial Empire is an theological aristocratic republic, based around an elected senate with supreme sovereignty.

-The Elysian Celestial Empire has a long history and was an independent entity until [[calendar:YE 25]] when it was absorbed by Yamatai at the end of the [[.history:fourth_elysian_war]]. It regained its independent status in [[calendar:YE 28]]. In comparison to Earth cultures The Elysian Empire is a product of Ancient Greek and Roman culture with a liberal dose of Judeo-Christianic style monotheism - leading to a slightly arcane style race befitting their common name - 'Angels'. This independence was short-lived though, as the NMX attacks in [[calendar:YE 32]] forced the Elysian nation to accept Yamataian authority in exchange for protection.+The Elysian Celestial Empire has a long history and was an independent entity until [[timeline:ye_25]] when it was absorbed by Yamatai at the end of the [[timeline:events:fourth_elysian_war]].

 The Elysians who make up the Empire are composed of three subspecies - the '[[species:plebeian]]' whose DNA has been contaminated with human genetic material, the '[[species:caelisolan]]' which is intended as the upgrade for the Plebeian's natural bodies, and '[[species:patricians|Archangel]]' which is the pure Elysian - possession of these different bodies is the way to tell between the social classes of the three sub-races - the ruling aristocratic, the meritocratic elite, and the leftover workers. Most notably all Elysians have wings and look rather angelic, though the resemblance grows stronger as you move up the social ladder. The Elysians who make up the Empire are composed of three subspecies - the '[[species:plebeian]]' whose DNA has been contaminated with human genetic material, the '[[species:caelisolan]]' which is intended as the upgrade for the Plebeian's natural bodies, and '[[species:patricians|Archangel]]' which is the pure Elysian - possession of these different bodies is the way to tell between the social classes of the three sub-races - the ruling aristocratic, the meritocratic elite, and the leftover workers.

-In [[calendar:YE 18]] the Elysians revamped their space program and moved to [[planet:elysia_novus]] in a grand exodus, reshaping the planet to please then - typically they tend to ignore this great shame, and embrace [[planet:elysia_novus]] as their eternal home.+In [[timeline:ye_18]] the Elysians revamped their space program and moved to [[planet:elysia_novus]] in a grand exodus, reshaping the planet to please then - typically they tend to ignore this great shame, and embrace [[planet:elysia_novus]] as their eternal home.

In [[calendar:YE 24]] [[character:Ketsurui Chiharu]] was captured by Elysia before being liberated, and the [[stararmy:fleets:first_expeditionary_fleet|1st Fleet]] destroyed an Elysian planet on which a massive weapon was being built.

-Independence was secured, somewhat by surprised, in [[calendar:YE 28]], leading to the formation of the [[.government:senate]] as the administrative body, notably not recreating the position of Emperor. Quickly embracing a policy of scientific expansion and reform Elysia began to fully upgrade its military and in [[calendar:YE 29]] colonised three planets to the west using [[stararmy:starship_classes:horizon-class_colony_ship|Horizon-class colony ships]] given to them by Yamatai.+Independence was secured, somewhat by surprised, in [[timeline:ye_28]], leading to the formation of the [[.government:senate]] as the administrative body, notably not recreating the position of Emperor.

-After a newfound understanding and brotherhood was established with their old rival, Yamatai, Elysia surprised many by rejoining Yamatai in [[calendar:YE 31]] after the [[stararmy:star_army_of_yamatai]] defended Elysia from the [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:nmx]] in the [[faction:elysia:history:battle_of_elysia]].+After a newfound understanding and brotherhood was established with their old rival, Yamatai, Elysia surprised many by rejoining Yamatai in [[timeline:ye_31]] after the [[stararmy:start]] defended Elysia from the [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:nmx]] in the [[timeline:events:battle_of_elysia]].

-Elysia is, by and large, isolationist.
