'''Pathopsila''' is a pair of interacting irregular galaxies located just outside the Flower Subgroup, in the neighbouring Degelio subgroup, orbiting the small [[Degelio Galaxy]]. They are home to many civilizations and species. The collision between them has led to beautiful but violent star formation along the border between the galaxies. |

There are four major nations within the Pathos Cluster; the [[Lypan Technocracy]], the [[Federal Republic of Chimerta]], the [[Kingdom of Magesiv]], and the [[Salvaterian Union State]]. The latter three civilizations are about evenly matched, and are currently at a stalemate until one decides to support another in their efforts to rule their 2/3 of the cluster. The Lypan Technocracy however is relatively reclusive, and has few relations with outside species. However, the three other nations are each hoping to win the nation to their side and guarantee them a huge advantage in the struggle. The Technocracy is currently in an uneasy peace between the various states within the nation, having just come out of its third civil war. The remainder of the cluster which is not under control of the four nations is formed by small enclaves centered around either the single other sapient species or states of the Technocracy which managed to maintain independence after the Third Civil War. |

The Pathos Galaxy is an old, relatively metal-poor galaxy. Because of this, planets are not as common as they are in larger galaxies such as the [[Florathel Galaxy]], and fighting takes place over each and every one. Most of the starforming regions which have resulted due to the collision of the galaxies is considered to be in Pathos. |

The smaller of the pair, the Apsila Galaxy is only home to one advanced intelligent species and nation, the [[Lypan Technocracy]].

The Apsila Galaxy, being just as old as the Pathos Galaxy, is similarly metal-poor, slightly more so. The Apsila Galaxy is much smaller as well, and it would be utterly war-torn if it weren't for the fact that is fully controlled by one nation. Apsila's old stars are almost all Population II, and have very few metals within them, meaning that despite its size, the Lypan Technocracy is not very advanced. However, the collision between it and Pathos has raised the metallicity in some areas, and many massive stars were born, which has allowed the technocracy to gain a lot of energy as well as more resources. |

The Pathos Cluster is a large globular cluster found orbiting far from Florathel. It is home to many civilizations and species. A recent collision with an intergalactic gas cloud has spurred beautiful but violent star formation across the cluster.
Pathos is a fairly normal globular cluster. However, its four nations have brought it outsized fame for their interesting political relationship, and Pathos is often used as a case study for the the classic Kingmaker Scenario.
Astropolitical Climate
There are four major nations within the Pathos Cluster; the Lypan Technocracy, the Federal Republic of Chimerta, the Kingdom of Magesiv, and the Salvaterian Union State. The latter three civilizations are about evenly matched, and are currently at a stalemate until one decides to support another in their efforts to rule their 2/3 of the cluster. The Lypan Technocracy however is relatively reclusive, and has few relations with outside species. However, the three other nations are each hoping to win the nation to their side and guarantee them a huge advantage in the struggle. The Technocracy is currently in an uneasy peace between the various states within the nation, having just come out of its third civil war. The remainder of the cluster which is not under control of the four nations is formed by small enclaves centered around either the single other sapient species or states of the Technocracy which managed to maintain independence after the Third Civil War.
History
Formation
The Pathos Cluster formed like most other globulars, likely from condensing clouds of interstellar material. It was utterly inhospitable in the first billion years of its history, due to the overabundance of powerful supernovae repeatedly sterilizing everything. Any life that formed was wiped away before it had the chance to evolve further. However, by the time of the Vivikaeous Eon, life abounded in the various planets of Pathos.
The Elder Days
Before any life had reached sapience within the cluster, it encountered a dense cloud of intergalactic dust and gas. The cluster's powerful gravity pulled the cloud toward itself and compressed it, triggering a second wave of star formation. The first sapient species within the cluster looked to the skies to beautiful newly born nebulae and a wave of bright stars, spurring on their dreams of ascension to the heavens.
These dreams first became reality when the ancient Apsilan species arose from the lush world of Arkenstas. They became the first nation within the Pathos Cluster, expanding rapidly through the stars to the edge. They prospered for thousands of years, becoming a highly advanced nation. The Apsilan Union finally fell to the invasion of the Lareas Alliance, being subsumed into the nation in the form of the state of Arkenstas. Their high technology was assimilated into the Alliance, and Arkenstas was destroyed as the Lareas Alliance fell to the Swarm. The Apsilan species survived, but today they number only in the millions and are primarily restricted to two habitats orbiting where their glorious homeworld once stood. There has never been a greater fall from grace.
