	Vay had some of the most powerful Vaplein oligarchs killed and transferred ownership to anyone that would develop the land. Millions of enterprising citizens moved into these lands and Sagittarium enforced their ownersihp of the land. The idea was that spreading out land would keep them from becomign rivals. Vay told the people about their right to enterprise, while he told government officials that this model would increase economic output. While initially a plot to take power from his rivals, Vay inadvertently laid the groundwork for Sagittarium's democratiziation centuries later.

	Recent technological advances came with the promise of infinite energy beyond mere fusion energy. Nocturne produces a great amount of energy as its spherical surface deforms a reflection of its singularity splitting into multiple pieces, deforming, and collapsing back into its proper shape. The cause was [[Laborosoarchod]], a legendary spirit sealed in the black hole thousands of years ago. Sagittarian scientists, the finest in the universe at that time, created the first [[Nocturne (Cosmoria)#Generatrices\|Generatrices]]. These massive devices took advantage of Nocturne's gravitational waves to move large dense masses. They worked on the same principle as conventional tidal power, though on a much larger scale. These large masses, usually small asteroids gently placed on the surface of a planet, generated a large amount of heat as they moved within the generatrix. This heat terraformed Thalia and Euterpe.

This heat terraformed Thalia and Euterpe and fueled Sagittarium's new manufacturing, pain-stakingly kept widely distributed lest more oligarchs form.

	Vay spent the rest of his chancellorship diminishing the power of the ~~managerial class~~, in particular by pushing for growth at a faster rate than they could hurt it with their corruption. With the new energy Nocturne was producing, Vay showered the government employees with money, so much money that they hardly had any motivation to be corrupt. High-level officials became some of the wealthiest in Cosmoria. This was a very unpopular strategy at first, but as corruption decreased and a culture of anti-corruption formed, Sagittarium became more safe for business. While Vay could have simply left it at that, he believed that giving every citizen a comfortable government job would lead to "a degeneration of the populace into useless wards of the state." Taking a page out of the kingdom of [[Tenshi\|Tenshi's]] playbook, Vay began mass privatization, gutting the massive bureaucracy.

	Sagittarium became a low-corruption state with cheap labor, perfect for receiving investment from foreigners. Nations in the [[Core Worlds Alliance]] invested vast sums of money, building infrastructure that normally the government would have had to. Doing so brought the Alliance and Sagittarium closer together while also greatly expanding Sagittarium's fledgling economy.

			In 8570 CE, Gran Rubedo began its war against [[Ma'eau]], one of the Three ancient leaders of the Triumvirate. To fight against Ma'eau was tantamount to declaring war on nature itself, however. Ma'eau had the abilities to manipulate microorganisms in targeted biological warfare. Within days millions were reduced to puddles of sodium hydroxide as microbes within them produced the substance in large quantities. Sagittarium, while not directly involved in the conflict, supported Gran Rubedo in their efforts. The development of a key technology spared Gran Rubedo—that of the [[Ripresa]].
	===Ma'eau War===
	In 8570 CE, Gran Rubedo began its war against [[Ma'eau]], one of the Three ancient leaders of the Triumvirate. To fight against Ma'eau was tantamount to declaring war on nature itself, however. Ma'eau was the creator and sustainer of all life in Martial Space and thus had the power to destroy it and destroy it Ma'eau did. Since all of Humanity had begun actively trying to destroy it, the entity decided to simply destroy all who opposed it. The resulting conflict, the [[Ma'eau War]], would soon come to involve nearly all of Martial Space fighting against the Rubedans and Sagittarium.

			The Ripresa, now representing over a percentage of Sagittarium's population, are cybernetic beings whose brains have been transferred to a robotic body. With the brain entirely sealed off from the outside world, Thalians could resist Ma'eau's biological warfare. Though the problem of needing to eat was never solved, and the operation to make one into a Ripresa is very difficult, the operation became fairly popular. There are numerous advantages, in particular as front line soldiers. The government offered healthy sums to anyone willing to undergo the operation and fight Ma'eau, for which millions volunteered.
	Ma'eau's power over all life in Martial Space made the task simple. Both groups greatly underestimated Ma'eau's sheer power over its creations. Within days most of the population in both cities were reduced to puddles of sodium hydroxide as microbes within them produced the substance in large quantities. As cities lay dormant, Klein Vay, his cabinet, and other high-ranking officials froze themselves before leaving [[Thalian]] copies behind to run the nation in their stead. These androids, immune to Ma'eau's chemical attacks, had Sagittarium's massive factories produce countless more Thalians to replace the lost population.

	Using the remaining military technology, Sagittarium crushed much of Martial Space while Gran Rubedo handled Ma'eau itself. In 8581 CE, [[Calithyia]] was sacked by both the Rubedans and Sagittarium, ending the conflict as their enemies surrendered. With this victory, Sagittarium's status as a military power was fully cemented and with the reparations its enemies had to pay, it faced little repercussions for the massive spending to create a new ~~Thalian~~ ~~population~~. Following the victory, Sagittarium joined the Core Worlds Alliance.		Using the remaining military technology, Sagittarium crushed much of Martial Space while Gran Rubedo handled Ma'eau itself.

			The [[Kajikali]] are the only intelligent species to call Sagittarium's current territory home, though at the nation's height three separate species did. The Kajikali are from the planet [[Vistique]] around [[Finale]]—in the Kajikali tongue known as Vecroxmer and Sagasheft. They remained on their homeworld undisturbed until only five thousand years ago when they were thrust onto the galactic stage.
⚫	The [[Moridian High Command]], a civilization ancient beyond belief, was the first to colonize Nocturne. They created the [[Aubade]] megastructure, a series of bands whose habitable area faced Nocturne. Generating gravity through centripetal force, these bands hosted as many as thirty trillion inhabitants, a number never seen again in Nocturne's history. With the extinction of Morid's [[Norlins\|Norlin]] people, Aubade fell uninhabited for millions of years. Aubade began degrading due to collisions with debris and perturbation from Nocturne's companion stars.

			The [[Lareas Alliance]] refurbished Aubade some 200,000 years before the present day. They imported millions of [[Deviri]] to [[Garrea]] to aid in the effort and their descendents reside there to this day. The collapse of the Lareas Alliance brought an end to this colonization program and left millions of Deviri stranded, where they became a distinct group from the main Deviri species.

	===Early History===		===Early History===
	[[Humans]] colonized Nocturne a little after the start of the Common Era. A part of the ancient [[First Aeternal Society]], these Humans were few. About ~~10,000~~ called the system home, ~~distributed~~ ~~across~~ ~~Nocturne's~~ ~~five~~ ~~habitable planets~~. ~~They~~ ~~had~~ ~~little~~ in ~~the~~ ~~way~~ of ~~influence~~ ~~even~~ ~~over~~ ~~their~~ ~~home~~ ~~nation~~.

[[Humans (Cosmoria)\|Humans]] colonized Nocturne a little after the start of the Common Era. A part of the ancient [[First Aeternal Society]], these Humans were few. About ten thousand called the system home, entirely within the [[Finale]] system. The harsh radition around Nocturne, thanks to Aubade once again degrading, created fairly rapid evolution. The Humans living here would develop extreme pigmentation by about five thousand years ago, slowing the rate of mutation. These Humans became the [[Finale#Finalea\|Finalea People]], one of Sagittarium's largest ethnic groups.

			The fall of the First Aeternal Society did little to affect the scattered Finalea villages, save for allowing a small [[Un'oit]] and [[Ror Unit\|Rorran]] presence to accumulate over the years. Most Finalea resided on [[Patyrth]], but some used [[Thaumaturgy (Cosmoria)\|Thaumaturgy]] to venture to nearby Vistique and settle with its Kajikali population.

	Before modern civilization arrived, many others attempted to hold onto the large star system. For a handful of civilizations, such as [[~~Ohko~~'s ~~Civilization~~]] and [[Sedrua]], Nocturne was seen as a frontier. It was a wasteland that, while plentiful in resources, was so large that securing all of it would take thousands of years. For this reason, these civilizations only superficially laid claim to the region. In many cases, small asteroids rich in rare materials would be exported, but the bulk of the system was untouched.

	[[Sedrua]] had sovereignty over Nocturne starting in 5565 CE, as the nation claimed to be the rightful rulers of all descendants of the Humans. They most heavily colonized [[Requiem]], resulting in a population of about one billion at its height. Sedrua established several military bases around Nocturne's other satellites, beginning the long process of colonization. The [[Dotsk]] created a handful of outposts as well in about 5841 CE, collaborating with Sedrua to colonize the endless wilderness.

	Following ~~Margot~~ Vay was Azazel Pascuet, a high-ranking official in the government. By the time Pascuet took power, the economy was nearing a collapse as trade all but stopped. With such an export-based economy, Sagittarium had to shift towards a service-based economy, causing a dangerous de-industrialization. Pascuet, ever the nationalist, decided that the government would maintain industrial capacity to produce military arms, but nearly all other forms of industry left the nation for the Core Worlds Alliance or Gran Rubedo.

	Some of the more brutal leaders were "banished" to Eos, which meant that they were given large homesteads on land owned by the state. The remaining colonies were given more independence as the historical treatment of its natives was questionable at best. Every state corporation was privatized in an attempt to reinvigorate the economy. This was all in an attempt to save face with the wider galactic community, with the end goal of entering the economic bloc of the Confederacy of Borealis.

Every state corporation was privatized in an attempt to reinvigorate the economy. This was all in an attempt to save face with the wider galactic community, with the end goal of entering the economic bloc of the Confederacy of Borealis.

	In 8976, the nation adopted the currency and official language of the Confederacy of Borealis, giving ~~the nation~~ access to free trade with the Confederacy. Later in that same year, Enkatz also joined its bloc. The Confederacy of Borealis would go on to create a millennium-lasting empire by copying Sagittarium's exact strategy, but in a far more measured manner. It took centuries for historians to notice, but by then the Confederacy was already the most powerful ~~nation~~ in ~~the universe~~. When the CoB lets a nation into its trading bloc, it elevates an element of its workers into "members," while also granting many of its second and third sons membership for fighting (whether economically or militarily). This created a massive meritocratic pressure in both the Confederate homeland and the new member nation. With property rights respected in Sagittarium, the "socialist" Confederacy could take advantage of Sagittarium's workers without having to dirty its own hands, while also getting to keep the best of the best for themselves.

	As time went on, the Chancellor began transferring their power to the newly-created Congress. Even though little more than precedent would keep the chancellor's power in check, referenda, and bills passed by Congress had new great power. Other changes include the gradual shrinkage in military spending as well as the gradual shrinkage of government authority, all due to foreign influence on the populace.

Even though little more than precedent would keep the chancellor's power in check, referenda, and bills passed by Congress had new great power. Other changes include the gradual shrinkage in military spending as well as the gradual shrinkage of government authority, all due to foreign influence on the populace. Sagittarium became a middle economic power whose economy outshined the [[Dominion of Astraeus]]. The Dominion, locked in a centuries-spanning cold war with the [[Soviereng States of Aylathiya]], viewed Sagittarium as a third player in the cold war, but both were allies with the Confederacy and therefore one another.

	Sagittarium was an economic powerhouse during this period. Widespread stability lent itself well to economic growth. Growth was assumed as a constant as only a handful of years saw shrinkage in the economy. Enkatz, Sagittarium's former colony, would vote to rejoin Sagittarium in exchange for protection against an overwhelming military assault begun by the [[Dominion of Astraeus]]. Following this, Sagittarium and the Confederacy of Borealis entered into a formal military alliance, creating numerous jointly-administered military units.

	==Aristocratic Era==		==Aristocratic Era==
	Once more following Tenshi's example, this time accidentally, Sagittarium's economy slowly became dominated by large family-owned enterprises. Akin to the aristocracy found across Martial Space, these groups would ~~secure~~ ~~power~~ ~~after~~ ~~buying~~ up ~~vast~~ ~~amounts~~ of ~~newly~~ ~~privatized~~ ~~industry~~. As this new aristocracy crushed all opposition, the chancellor had to increasingly capitulate to these groups and could hardly act without approval from a majority of them. ~~This~~ ~~era~~ is ~~characterized~~ by a ~~near-constant~~ ~~state~~ of ~~conflict~~ ~~between~~ ~~Sagittarium~~ and ~~various~~ ~~groups~~ in ~~and~~ ~~around~~ ~~it,~~ ~~even~~ ~~its~~ ~~allies~~.		Once more following Tenshi's example, this time accidentally, Sagittarium's economy slowly became dominated by large family-owned enterprises. This was mostly in opposition to the powerful worker cooperatives who had long stopped accepting new members. Akin to the aristocracy found across Martial Space, these groups would accumulate as much capital as possible—land, factories, small businesses, anything that could be a store of value. As this new aristocracy crushed all opposition, the chancellor had to increasingly capitulate to these groups and could hardly act without approval from a majority of them. The military would end up split between these groups as various admirals and generals were inducted into or replaced by these families. The collapse of the Dominion of Astraeus and its nobility put further pressure on Sagittarium's elite to secure their positions as well.

	===Origin of the New Ruling Class===
	The liberalization of Sagittarium spurred a massive increase in economic growth. Investment poured in from the [[Commonwealth of Aggregate Aylathiya]], creating an even mixture of foreign-owned and domestically-owned enterprises. The fall in investment following the collapse of the Core Worlds Alliance sowed the seeds for the eventual ossification of these large businesses.

	Sagittarium largely recovered from the collapse to the point that it was able to democratize. Across all of Martial Space, growth was the norm as large multinational companies sprung up at a scale unseen since the Triumvirate Civilization. These vast enterprises employed millions at first, soon ballooning in size to billions as their profit increased. Governments took little action against them as doing so risked diverting investment to more "business-friendly areas." The markets were so large that monopolies were essentially impossible.

	These conditions prevented total horizontal integration; however, that did not stop companies from increasing in size anyway. Soon, the "Conglomerate" formed as a period of high growth caused massive amounts of consolidation. Some holding companies began controlling seemingly random subsidiaries in wildly different industries. What emerged was a complicated web of ownership where several dozen holding companies controlled portions of large numbers of smaller corporations. As growth in Sagittarium slowed, these holding companies became the backbone of Sagittarium's economy.

	====War of the Blume Order====		====War of the Blume Order====
	In ~~9610~~ CE, the [[Blume Order]], at the time one of the most powerful landholders in Sagittarium, was declared a national security risk as the group was loyal to [[~~Tenshi~~]]. The massive Sagittarian Military was able to eventually expel the group while simultaneously keeping most of the fighting away from population centers. The defeat of the Blume Order significantly weakened ~~Tenshi~~'s influence in Sagittarium. The Confederacy of Borealis remained neutral, not wanting to hurt its relationship with either party.		In 9410 CE, the [[Blume Order]], at the time one of the most powerful landholders in Sagittarium, was declared a national security risk as the group was loyal to [[Tianshi]], the largest remnant of the Dominion of Astraeus. The massive Sagittarian Military was able to eventually expel the group while simultaneously keeping most of the fighting away from population centers. The defeat of the Blume Order significantly weakened Tianshi's influence in Sagittarium. The Confederacy of Borealis remained neutral, not wanting to hurt its relationship with either party.

	====Un'oit Crisis====		====Un'oit Crisis====
	In 9613 CE, [[Un'oit]] warlords and oligarchs were officially banned from doing business in Sagittarium, explicitly in the service of maintaining Human sovereignty over Sagittarium's industry. They responded by getting the [[Rorran Intendancy]] and its dozens of component orders to strike back, prompting the Sagittarian government to ban [[Paladins]], the members of orders who are powerful warriors. Banning all Paladins and the orders they represented was effectively banning all the competition to the new aristocracy~~. Now, only Human non-[[Magi]] had any considerable power within the state~~.

	A militia jointly hired by the Monday Conglomerate and Adam Consortium attacked a worker-owned factory on Thalia in ~~96,162~~ CE. This factory, associated with the Confederacy of Borealis, prompted a militant response by the Confederacy. As planned, the two conglomerates petitioned Chancellor '''Itanya Abrahms''' to request protection from "Confederate Aggression against Sagittarian-owned industry." It was the Confederacy that was sanctioned for their response, prompting the Confederacy to relocate much of its industry out of the country. What remained became heavily guarded. This conflict greatly strained Confederate-Sagittarian relations.		A militia jointly hired by the Monday Conglomerate and Adam Consortium attacked a worker-owned factory on Thalia in 9616 CE.

	A Human male born on [[Patyrth]], [[Luka Caxaro]] would come to power in 9617 CE. Luka Caxaro abandoned any pretext that Sagittarium was not entirely under the thumb of these industrial titans. Caxaro massively cut spending on the expensive Sagittarian military, the nation's pride and joy for all of its history. Instead, it was these companies and their ~~cheaper~~ militias that would maintain order. The central government let its military waste away as it greatly cut taxes for these companies. By this point, Sagittarium had lost much of its prestige, but Caxaro and other top government officials became spectacularly wealthy. The conglomerates showered the chancellor with immense amounts of wealth, while also compensating the now-poorly-paid government officials with bribes. Needless to say, Sagittarium became a much worse place to do business as these large conglomerates removed any semblance of the rule of law from it.

The Confederacy of Borealis, a thorn in the side of the conglomerates, was the last barrier to their full control.

When large numbers of people began joining the Confederate-backed unions or guilds, the conglomerates realized that they had no choice but to fight Sagittarium's greatest ally.		The '''Worker Movement''' was a Confederate-backed project to return democracy to Sagittarium, though that just meant taking back their assets in practice. The Confederacy of Borealis, a thorn in the side of the conglomerates, was the last barrier to their full control. This brazen act to increase its influence within Sagittarium earned only token resistance at first. When large numbers of people began joining the Confederate-backed unions or guilds, the conglomerates realized that they had no choice but to fight Sagittarium's greatest ally.

	This culminated in the Second Borealis Crisis, the beginning of government persecution of Confederacy-associated unions. The last form of organized labor, the move was greatly unpopular. Pressure from the Caxaro administration kept protest activity minimum, however. What began as a cold war between the Confederacy and Sagittarium was, in actuality, a cold war between the conglomerates and the Confederacy. It boiled over into an outright war between a Confederate Syndicate and the Monday Conglomerate in 9620 CE. The Syndicate would end up winning, but this only caused Sagittarium to crack down even harder on Confederate activity, officially declaring that organized labor was inherently anti-Sagittarian.

	The worlds comprising Sagittarium were largely untouched for most of their history. Sagittarium had a handful of populations considered indigenous, including the [[Finale#Finalea\|Finalea People]] and [[Elkeres]] living around [[Finale]]. The only species to have evolved in Sagittarium's current territory are the [[Kajikali]] from [[Vistique]] also around Finale. The [[Rorazals]], while still a major player in Sagittarium, are no longer native to the nation as their home seceded with [[Mandras]]. These various native groups had thriving societies of varying levels of sophistication, all of which fell to [[Sedrua]] in 5584 CE. Sedrua brought with them a massive influx of [[Zythyns]] and [[Bahattes]]. The [[Providence Union]] and [[Triumvirate Civilization]] split Nocturne as Sedrua collapsed. The only Triumvirate military base to survive the [[War of the Final Transition]], '''Fort Aria''', evolved into the [[Vaplein Republic]]. The Vaplein Republic controlled the frigid worlds orbiting Nocturne, a harsh radioactive environment that few could have predicted becoming the seat of a superpower. The creation of the first [[Nocturne#Generatrices\|generatrices]] offered effectively unlimited power to the Republic. These devices converted Nocturne's gravitational radiation into usable power. The Republic used this power to terraform Nocturne's [[Thalia]] and [[Euterpe]], melting those snowballs into livable worlds.

	In 8567 CE, [[Klein Vay]] led a coup against the collapsing Vaplein Republic, making him Sagittarium's first chancellor. While in power, Vay established Sagittarian hegemony over the entirety of [[Nocturne]] and molded Sagittarium into the most prosperous member of the [[Core Worlds Alliance]]. After Vay's death, [[Veselko Abedayo]] took power and made Sagittarium into Cosmoria's fiercest military power. Abedayo led Sagittarium deep into [[Florathel]], conquering its infighting nations with previously unseen efficacy. After several more chancellors, instability increased, and demand for change grew. With the disastrous [[Commonwealth's Eclipse]], another coup brought [[Eris Sailem]] into power. An outspoken liberal, Sailem privatized Sagittarium's economy and disempowered the oligarchs. She became the first president of the '''United Republics of Sagittarium, Valme, Diadema, Rendellia, and Enkatz'''. With time, however, the oligarchs returned in a different form. Sagittarium gradually began to resemble its feudal neighbors as central authority once again decreased. It transitioned between various forms of governments all while gradually losing territory.

Sagittarium gradually began to resemble its feudal neighbors as central authority once again decreased. It transitioned between various forms of governments all while gradually losing territory.

	As central power eroded, oligarchs and business leaders formed a new aristocracy; their companies became organs of the state. While this led to a short-lived absolute monarchy, an anocratic elective monarchy emerged shortly afterward. It briefly regressed into the '''Second Sagittarian Empire''' during the [[War of the Ancients]], before becoming the modern '''Fifth Sagittarian Republic'''. Local governments now handle most affairs as though they were sovereign states. While not quite the thriving empire it was in the past, Sagittarium remains a powerful force at the junction between Cosmoria's great empires. As some of its ruling class shifts attention toward [[Florathel]], Cosmoria's greatest empires compete for authority in Nocturne, all while contending with Sagittarium's proud populous that strives for self-rule.
