	<blockquote>"''The nature of all that manage to form great empires is that of greed, of hostility, of aggression and of heartlessness.

	The '''Theocracy of Silverstar''' is a nation located within the chaotic galaxy of [[Azurullya]]. As the only nation located in Azurullya, the Theocracy has quickly risen to galactic superpower status within the short time of its existence. Despite the myriad dangers located in the Cerulean Gem, the nation has held firm against all odds, strengthening its position as an intergalactic power. Under the guidance of High Priest [[Moonmoon]], the people of this nation seek to honor their god, the mysterious being known only as [[Silverstar]], in any way they can. From hymns and mantras chanting His name to works of art depicting the deity in His prime, it can be quite difficult to imagine a person in the nation who doesn’t worship this being. Under the watchful eye of the [[Cult of Silverstar]], citizens are expected to provide regular worship to Silverstar, lest they be labeled as a heretic and arrested. The punishments are known to be quite severe for the worst offenders, ranging from beatings and hard labor to public executions.

	After centuries of hiding away from the rest of the galaxy, the followers of Silverstar were approached by a strange man, one who had promised them salvation. He told them he had found a safe haven for them, a distant galaxy known as Azurullya, where they would be able to worship Silverstar without fear. Skeptical of this newcomer, they surrounded him with their most powerful Magi and prepared to strike, fearing that he might be an agent sent to wipe out that last of Silverstar's followers. However, instead of backing down, the man merely smiled and revealed his own faith, showing that he was also a devotee of Silverstar just like them. Introducing himself as Moonmoon, he also showed that he was a practitioner of Esoteric Thaumaturgy, his power and proficiency unlike anything the followers had seen before.

	Moonmoon explained to them that he had been tasked by Silverstar to usher his people to a new land, and all he needed was their trust. With the only other options being continuous seclusion or the wrath of Aylathiya's Magi, they accepted, calling on their remaining kin to join them. Once all the remaining followers had been gathered, Moonmoon presented them with a fleet of [[colony ships]], ones that were fitted enough to make the long journey to Azurullya. Saying their final goodbyes to Aylathiya, the followers packed onto the starships and ~~flew~~ to the ~~edges~~ of ~~the~~ ~~galaxy.

		⚫	Long before fusion power allowed such speeds, Moonmoon and all the other Magi would combine their powers in order to transport the fleet across the void. However, they would have to draw on a massive amount of thaumic energy from several different planes at once, which carried immense risk. Moonmoon had his fleets accelerate to speeds as of yet unseen, far too fast for a reasonable trip between stars—this was for a trip between galaxies. The ships gained speed until going over two thirds the speed of light. After around a year of cruising, the ships began to decelerate.

	The drones sent to investigate the ship returned with images of pure carnage. Bodies lined the halls of the once-bustling vessel, bloodied and torn asunder. Some of them were charred to the bone, having suffered the wrath of insane Magi. After this horrific event, the nebula was declared off-limits and the rest of the colony fleet moved on, the images of madness still fresh in their minds. Even Moonmoon was terrified of it, recalling the nebula as the first thing to truly make him fear death. However, once the colony fleet flew away from the nebula and into Azurullya proper, they found that this new galaxy would not be so easily tamed as they had hoped.

	As the fleet explored more of their new home, they encountered more and more of these aberrations. [[Time-bending stars]], a [[supernova locked in stasis]], and the [[shards of an ancient consciousness]] scattered across an [[entire planet]]. Thanks to these factors, and the fact that Azurullya has much faster starflow than other galaxies, they weren't able to find a planet to colonize. They had tried to touch down on a relatively peaceful-looking moon at one point, but were driven away by the native inhabitants of that world; a brutish, centaur-like race known as the [[Ryleiths]]. As time went on, the colonists had begun to lose hope, many of them forsaking Silverstar altogether. They had even begun to accuse Moonmoon of being a false prophet, an agent sent to wipe out the last of Silverstar's ~~worshippers~~.

	While the Cult of Silverstar has only existed for a relatively short time, the worship of Silverstar has existed for ~~hundreds of~~ thousands of years, with the earliest records dating to around ~~33,400 BCE~~. Silverstar's first ~~worshippers~~ came not from Azurullya, but from [[Aylathiya]], existing in small groups scattered throughout the galaxy. These ~~worshippers~~ primarily lived in secluded communities, from seedy orbital stations to frontier colonies, where they could worship in peace away from prying eyes. However, as their numbers grew, so did their boldness, leading to many of them starting to practice their faith openly. While they were largely ignored by many at first, their usage of [[Thaumaturgy#Esoteric Thaumaturgy\|Esoteric Thaumaturgy]] drew the attention of many, particularly [[Magi]] from the [[Triumvirate Civilization]] who saw them as a possible threat.

	These Magi then gathered in secret to discuss what could happen if the ~~worshippers~~ of Silverstar were allowed to continue using Esoteric Thaumaturgy. They came to the conclusion that if they were allowed to keep drawing on so many different planes for their powers, they might break down the walls keeping these planes separated, leading to complete and utter chaos. Seeking to prevent this possible catastrophe, they confronted the ~~worshippers~~ and ordered them to cease their usage of Esoteric Thaumaturgy. The followers refused, leading to a series of escalations that eventually spiraled into full-on violence. Riots broke out on many worlds, turning into large-scale purges which resulted in most of Silverstar's followers being killed or imprisoned. The knowledge of accessing many different planes was also lost due to the purges. Those who remained fled to worlds near Aylathiya's edge, praying to their god that they might be delivered unto a new land, a paradise for them to finally show their devotion to Silverstar to their fullest extent.

Moonmoon had his fleets accelerate to speeds as of yet unseen, far too fast for a reasonable trip between stars—this was for a trip between galaxies. The ships gained speed until going over two thirds the speed of light. After around a year of cruising, the ships began to decelerate.
			<!--They could potentially open too many rifts at once and cause their power to spill out unchecked, completely annihilating the entire fleet. With no other options available to them, and with half the colonists in danger of rebelling, Moonmoon gathered all the Magi among the colonists and told them of his plan, directing them to perform a Planar Shift the likes of which has not been seen since. As the Magi began to focus their power, the colonists felt as their bodies and surroundings started to dematerialize, the power of multiple planes combined transmuting them all into pure energy. With one enormous blink, the colony fleet shifted out of existence, vanishing into the chaotic mesh of planes summoned to transport them.

	While only a few seconds had passed in realspace between the jumps, for the colonists, it felt like ages had gone by. After the fleet had rematerialized, many found themselves completely disoriented once they had gained their physical bodies back, some of them being comatose and taking days to recover. Once they had regained their bearings, the colonists discovered that they were in a relatively safe area of the galaxy, with no aberrations being seen or detected by the fleet's Magi. Flying towards the nearest star system, they had finally managed to find a planet to settle on, sending down scouting parties to investigate. The teams returned with glorious news; the world was perfect for colonization. Few natural threats, plenty of resources, and the perfect climate. It was a paradise, exactly what they had been promised so long ago.		While only a few seconds had passed in realspace between the jumps, for the colonists, it felt like ages had gone by.
