'''Klein Vay''' (March 1st, 18,821 - February 28th, 31,434) was a [[Humans|Human]] political leader, military general, statesman |
'''Klein Vay''' (March 1st, 18,821 - February 28th, 31,434) was a [[Humans|Human]] political leader, military general, statesman, and the first Chancellor of [[Sagittarium]] from 20,650 to 31,434. Before this, he was a prominent general in the '''Republic of Vaplein'''. His rank in the Founder's Council, the highest power controlling the early Sagittarium, was "A." Vay is considered by many to be the "Father of Sagittarium." |
||
While he was Chancellor, he presided over Sagittarium at its relative most powerful. At his command, [[Nocturne]] began to be fully utilized as a power source. He was by no means the most authoritarian leader of Sagittarium, but his rule was still most certainly Authoritarian in nature. He personally ordered the execution of thousands of individuals; firmly maintained the nation as "human in culture, tradition, and population;" and was no stranger to the manipulation of the population en masse. |

The warlike nature of the Vaplein Republic leant to an active military career for Vay. From the moment he graduated, he was dispatched to a large number of places and served in a large number of campaigns. He soon earned a name for himself after overseeing the conquest of several smaller nations near to the Republic. |
|||
He first became truly popular when the [[Great Empyreal Crusade]] broke out. When [[The Empyrean]] began its invasion of the entirety of the Via Sagittaria, the Vaplein Republic was one of the first targets. Vay was key in numerous battles in the war, often in parts of the galaxy far from his homeland. He became an invaluable part of the war effort of not just the Vaplein Republic, but numerous other nations allied to it. He saw the most action in the [[Via Lacrimosa Galaxy]], a body relatively nearby to Via Sagittaria. |

On the last day of this meeting, there was still no consensus. A decision was not even close to being made. Vay had not spoken a single word the entire time; he merely observed and weighed the issues silently. As the time of the meeting drew to a close and a vote to extend it was put in place, Vay stood and walked to the center of the room. He spoke:<blockquote>"I have weighed all the options. I came to the conclusion that they are all the same proposal. They all involve sacrificing the lives of many to achieve some minor goal, weakening ourselves to the point of being easily conquered by some warlord. We, as the most powerful armed force in the galaxy, should not flee like cowards to some far location either. The only option is to take the most valuable object in the galaxy. I will be taking my soldiers to the center of the galaxy to colonize Nocturne. You can join me if you so choose."</blockquote>After saying these words, he promptly left the room and immediately ordered an aid to tell the troops to begin the process of refitting war ships to generation ark-ships. The rest of leaders at the meeting were at a loss for words. Argument broke out among them as they argued the merit of Vay's point. A fairly small portion, however, left. This portion understood Vay's authority and followed him out of the room. From afar, Vay looked as they exited. These were the select few among the generals capable of understanding his reasoning while also understanding their place. He numbered them as they left. Starting with "B" based on how loyal they were to him. He ended at "IU," 255 in base ten. These select individuals would go on to form the [[Founder's Council]]. |
|||
In the region, he spent most of his time defending various megastructures that, if lost, would mean Empyreal victory in Via Lacrimosa. Towards the end of the war, Vay had been named "Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Via Lacrimosa," essentially making him a household name. When the capital of The Empyrean, [[Alphos]], was finally captured, Vay and a large number of other generals and politicians came together to decide how to partition and reorganize The Empyrean. After the meeting, he oversaw the reconstruction of large parts of Via Lacrimosa. |
|||
Vay had thousands of his ships converted into generation ships. They were slowly packed to the brim with those loyal to Vay. There was simply not enough room to provide for these people for the whole 200 year journey, so they were cryogenically frozen. After a decade of preparation, Vay had the ships travel to Nocturne itself. He was appointed Chancellor in in a small ceremony attended by those of the Founder's Council and his personal guard. |
|||
Upon coming home, he was tremendously popular. He was a symbol of victory over The Empyrean and solidarity with the international community. While other generals were undoubtedly popular as well, none quite had the achievements of Vay. |
|||
During the whole 200 years of the journey, Vay remained awake. He refused to become frozen and potentially allow his plans to be derailed. He would often spend days staring at his goal, Nocturne. When they finally got to the center, they first landed on [[Thalia]]. Being the famous general he was, the fragment of the military on the planet immediately allowed his fleet to land. He personally informed the base commander of the collapse of the Yohjan Confederacy, while promptly adding that he was now in control. He added this commander to the Founder's Council with rank "IV" bringing the number of members to 256. |

Vay first ran for the office of Chancellor in 20,908 CE.

The official results came back as an overwhelming defeat against the sitting Chancellor at the time, sparking outrage across the nation. The government, sensing strife, had Vay exiled to the fledgling [[Drusidia]], the nation he helped to rebuild after the War for All. |

The emperor of Drusidia at the time, [[Jayvyn Drusus]], welcomed Vay with open arms. There, he and the emperor forged a deep bond.

He timed his return with one of the many wars the Vaplein Republic has fought in, meaning that the military assets of the nation were spread out.

While there were a fairly large number of ships guarding it, the combined forces made short work of the defenses. Vay entered the capital building and personally shot the acting Chancellor.

"Standing on the bridge of my ship that day is where I first truly felt at ease, at peace. As war raged around me, the beautiful chaos became apparent. Those creatures falling before the ruthless attacks and precision I ordered was nothing short of bliss. What can compare to being immersed in the glory of the battlefield?" -Klein Vay, 20811 after a battle against The Empyrean.
Klein Vay (March 1st, 18,821 - February 28th, 31,434) was a Human political leader, military general, statesman, and the first Chancellor of Sagittarium from 20,650 to 31,434. Before this, he was a prominent general in the Republic of Vaplein. His rank in the Founder's Council, the highest power controlling the early Sagittarium, was "A." Vay is considered by many to be the "Father of Sagittarium."
While he was Chancellor, he presided over Sagittarium at its relative most powerful. At his command, Nocturne began to be fully utilized as a power source. He was by no means the most authoritarian leader of Sagittarium, but his rule was still most certainly Authoritarian in nature. He personally ordered the execution of thousands of individuals; firmly maintained the nation as "human in culture, tradition, and population;" and was no stranger to the manipulation of the population en masse.
Vay voiced open support of the ideology of Neo-Terranism, also commonly known as "Human Supremacy." While not as radical as many other leaders in the galaxy, his policies saw the enslavement of quadrillions of nonhumans to be used in the military. These nonhumans were expected to be assimilated into human culture and were capable of buying their freedom after several decades. Compared to a large portion of the galaxy at the time, this was fairly egalitarian (which puts into perspective the rampant racism plaguing the galaxy during his rule.) Despite this, billions of monuments and statues exist of Vay throughout the core of the Via Sagittaria. Various images of Vay exist on physical coins issued by Sagittarium.
Early Life
Klein Vay was born on the planet Sekhmet in 18,821 CE when the planet was merely a minor mining outpost, not the ecumenopolis it is today. At the time, Sekhmet was under the control of the Vaplein Republic. Vay's parents were both drafted and subsequently killed fighting Beatrix. While the Vaplein republic did manage to stave off Beatrix's forces, there was a severe increase in orphans, prompting the government to create large numbers of androids to raise them. The poorly funded program saw one android assigned to dozens of children. Vay was raised under the care of one such of these androids.
Upon becoming an adult, Vay attended a regular university. Various scouting algorithms almost immediately flagged him as having great potential in the field of command. In need of new generals, the Vaplein government had him immediately transferred to the First Military University of Thalia. He graduated top of his class at the university. Consequently, he quickly earned a fairly high military position early in his career.
Military Career
The warlike nature of the Vaplein Republic leant to an active military career for Vay. From the moment he graduated, he was dispatched to a large number of places and served in a large number of campaigns. He soon earned a name for himself after overseeing the conquest of several smaller nations near to the Republic.
He first became truly popular when the Great Empyreal Crusade broke out. When The Empyrean began its invasion of the entirety of the Via Sagittaria, the Vaplein Republic was one of the first targets. Vay was key in numerous battles in the war, often in parts of the galaxy far from his homeland. He became an invaluable part of the war effort of not just the Vaplein Republic, but numerous other nations allied to it. He saw the most action in the Via Lacrimosa Galaxy, a body relatively nearby to Via Sagittaria.
In the region, he spent most of his time defending various megastructures that, if lost, would mean Empyreal victory in Via Lacrimosa. Towards the end of the war, Vay had been named "Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Via Lacrimosa," essentially making him a household name. When the capital of The Empyrean, Alphos, was finally captured, Vay and a large number of other generals and politicians came together to decide how to partition and reorganize The Empyrean.
