Ruled under the divine guidance of the Messiah and the Ascendant Church of the Ashtar. The Jalaryian Ascendancy seeks to restore the old order in the Galaxy, following in the footstep of their Gods, the Ashtar. [h3][b]History[/b][/h3] [u]Solar War and Aftermath[/u] In the great Colonial Golden Age, Jalaryias was among countless worlds colonized by mankind, Jalaryias and her sister colonies being at furthest edge of Human Space Their distance however, wouldn't spare them the fries of the Solar War. The fringe colonies would be the sight of Operation Paradise Lost, a bloody and lengthy campaign between two large expeditionary forces sent by the UN and ISA with the intent of securing the frontier colonies, leading to the colonies splitting in two as worlds pledged their support for either the UN or ISA task forces, extending the conflict further. Once the Solar War had concluded, the frontier colonies were left in total disarray as Earth's grip on her colonies loosened, leaving the frontier worlds to fend for themselves, soon to be forgotten by the newly established Federation of Nations. Over the following centuries leading to the Ashtar's reign and disappearance, Jalaryias had gone through a rather turbulent development, the planet split between various factions, the most prominent of which were the old Colonial Administration and the Eden Collective. For the next few centuries, the Jalaryian states would be in a constant state of war, the Collective seeking a return to simpler ways, embracing nature and abandoning any hopes of contacting Earth, while the Colonials sought the opposite, seeking to return to the United Nation's fold and continue Humanity's push for the Stars. The conflict however, would eventually come to an end once the Astar arrived. [u]Pax Ashtar and Onwards[/u] When the Ashtar first arrived over a century ago, it was a waning time, the nations of the Galaxy refusing to bow before them. However, as the years passed and the Ashtar having cemented their indefinite reign over the galaxy, people on thousands upon thousands of worlds slowly begun to revere them as divine beings, slowly morphing into a new religion that would spread throughout the galaxy like wildfire. Varying cults and sects of the Ashtari Faith soon sprouted up on many worlds, spreading their message, their divine interpretation of the Ashtar. Once the Ashtar had vanished, followed by the start of the Great War, the Ashtari faith was thrown into disarray, many blaming the nonbelievers for the disappearance of the Gods, and how the nations of the galaxy were tarnishing the peace the Gods brought to the galaxy. The Ashtari soon declared their own Holy War upon many participants of the Great War, engaging in acts of terrorism, launching insurrections, and many more. Their Holy War kept on for the first half of the Great War, before the Ashtari received the Call. On the fringe human colony of Jalaryias, a woman by the name of Ilya claimed to be have the divine power of the Gods coursing through her veins, claiming to be the Messiah to lead a new order in the Galaxy. Many sect leaders were at first, skeptical of her claims, but eventually they, and many others ceased all operations, and begun a mass exodus to the fringes of Civilized Space, converging on the lush world of Jalaryias. This world would soon be at the very heart of the newly established Ascendancy, in their short term isolation, the Ascendancy launched a series of campaigns against neighboring systems, conquering lost, fledgling human colonies and primitive alien civilizations. Decades into the present, the Ascendancy has emerged as a potential power in the Galaxy. Once the message from Llyena reached the Ascendancy and all faithful across the galaxy, much rejoicing followed as the Gods seemed to have returned once more. By the time the Message was received, the Ascendancy had already opened itself up to the greater galaxy, establishing alliances, trade routes and spreading the faith ever further. However, this entanglement with the great powers of the Milky Way has proved to be a bane in the end, the political ramifications of Jalaryias' official entry in the emerging conflict would be utterly disastrous, however many within the church, military and citizenry would simply take matters into their own hands, a plot the Ascendant Council was all too aware of and quietly gave their consent. [h3][b]Major Holdings[/b][/h3] [list] [*] [u]Jalaryias[/u]: The seat of power within the Ascendancy, once a remote human colony, the world of Jalaryias is one of serenity, lush jungles and forests covering the surface, dotted by grand cities and humble settlements, it is also the homeworld of the Messiah and where she summoned the faithful. [*] [u]Talania[/u]: The polar opposite of Jalaryias, Talania is a world of heavy Industry, it's surface littered with hundreds of foundries churning both civilian products and military equipment. [*] [u]Jericho[/u]: An arid world located within the gateway systems between the fringe and the core, and home to the Jericho Fleet Yards Corporation, the primary manufacturer of the Ascendancy's newer generation of Warships, its orbit dominated by hundreds of shipyards. [/list] [h2][b]Demographics[/b][/h2] [h3][b]Population[/b][/h3] The Ascendancy is home to numerous species from all across the galaxy. Be it Human, Nonhuman, it matters not, all are equal in the Holy Light of the Ashtar. The latest species to be added to the flock of the faithful are the amphibian Dathir, and the Psionic jellyfish-like Aldzam. Both conquered in the early years of the Great Crusade.

Most citizens of the Ascendancy strive to become faithful servants of the Ashtar, and to be worthy one day to ascend and be among with their Gods. Despite some semblance of peace and prosperity, it is far from it, such peace is often maintained through brutal force. Although a segment of the population are content with their lives, many other citizens think otherwise, and often are marked as either apostates or heretics, and often will be hunted down by the Inquisitors. [h3][b]Economy[/b][/h3] Like in all aspects, the Ascendancy lags behind many other nations in economic power, but it's simply bidding time as the Ascendancy has slowly emerged as a potential powerhouse in the region, in the short few decades of its existence, several influential corporations have already manifested, forming the bakcbone of Jalaryias' potential industrial might and commercial value. Exporting whatever products one needs, be it food stuffs, resources and military hardware. [h3][b]Government[/b][/h3] The Ascendancy is a Theocratic Monarchy under the rule of the Messiah Ilya, a truly rare Ashtar Half-breed. Under the Messiah are the general caretakers, the Ascendant Council of Apostles. It's members consists of representatives from of the most influential institutions within the Ascendancy, The Ascendant Church, the Military and the Bureaucracy or the Central Government as it is called often. Each member of the Council is given the title of Apostle and the one to lead such a council is given the title of Oracle. The Council functions both to act as the governing body of the Ascendancy as a whole and to administer church functions and activities, Promoting and spreading the Light of the Ashtar and keeping order within the borders of the Ascendancy. Despite the rather equal footing the members of the Council seem to present, the Church is by far the most powerful of the three, using its secretive enforcement arm, the Inquisition, to root out corruption, enforcing the faith and the will of the church within the Central Government and on the streets of dozens of worlds. The Ayrie Knights fulfill a similar function, Knight chapters assigned with military units giving the task to see if their faith stays true. [h2][b]Technological Information[/b][/h2] [h3][b]Major Techs[/b][/h3] Compared to the participants of the Great War, the Ascendancy lags far behind in many aspects. However, due to their formerly remote location, the Ascendancy was allowed both time and peace to work on new military technologies to better themselves, and for the most part, it has bored fruit, but in limited quantities, developing such feats as directed energy weapons that ranged as small as firearms, to as large as a assault batteries for starships, as well as developing hover vehicles to better navigate unforgiving terrain on more harsh worlds. [h2][b]Military Information[/b][/h2] [h3][b]Military Overview[/b][/h3] [hider=Old Model Army] [hider=Infantry] [u]Pilgrims[/u] [img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/38a2097a-9c68-462e-a5f2-797584ece4ae.png[/img] [img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/7b8fa9d2-6336-49af-85ef-fd3d542e0bea.png[/img] Once the call for Crusade was sounded, tens of thousands of regular citizens took up arms and embarked on a grand Pilgrimage to claim the Holy Land in the name of the Ashtar. Jalaryian Pilgrims form the core of the Crusade's irregular forces, acting as guerilla fighters and light infantry in large scale battles. The more fanatical and fearless among their ranks will often then not, strap various explosives upon their person, willing to take their own life and those around them for the glory of the Gods. [u]Army Regular[/u] [img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/3670f108-0b5a-45fc-b213-d1f99a7941c0.png[/img] A grade above the Pilgrims, the regulars of the Jalarysian Army form the the heart and soul of the crusading armies of the Ascendancy, although their equipment lags behind other armies, their devotion to their Gods and State more then make up for such inadequacies. [u]Vanguard[/u] [img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/617573fa-c159-4f75-9ce5-4a5e049113ff.png[/img] The more veteran elements of the Ascendancy's military. The Vanguard act as the elite shock troops of the ground forces, only the best of the infantry are chosen to join their ranks and train in the Vanguard program. [u]Cleansers[/u] [img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/c2717544-8545-4ab9-b86b-22df9f02a4dd.png[/img] A sub-section of the standard army regulars and as the title suggests, the Cleansers main task is to simply cleanse the battlefield of heathens and infidels in divine flame. Armed with Plasma flame throwers, the Cleansers are among the more zealous even among the faithful.

The Crusader series was one of many parts of a massive modernization program enacted by the Council, breaking the shackles of their past to embark onto a new future, one crafted by their own hands. The Crusader-series of combat armor are built with state-of-the-art technology, at least by Jalakaryian standards. Integrated in the very fiber of the armor is a vast network of combat, communications and targeting software made to assist the wearer on the frontlines. The Crusader-series comes in several variants depending on role, the infantry, the recon the Heavy, and one specially made for elements of the Council's Ascendant Guard.

The War Angels serve as Aerial and Zero-G shock troopers for the Ascendancy's modern armies, raining death upon the enemies of the Ashtar. Equipped with multi-purpose aerial flight suits that, as mentioned, can perform both in a planet's atmosphere and in the void of space, taking on a similar role of the Vanguard, and on occasions, are sent first into the fray.

For a brief period, the rather feeble Sironan Government was quickly overthrown in a violent Ashtari uprising spearhead by the precursors of the Order and had declared Sirona their Dominion. Their rather short-lived rule over the colony was bloody, the populace continually resisting the Ashtari Usurpers, only to be met with crackdowns, however it would not be long before the Sironan people's plight had reached the ears of the Federation of Nations. Not too long a Federal Strike Force made planefall, and within a few months, the Federation had successfully liberated the planet from the Ashtari. Battered and defeated, the Sironan Sects fled far from Federation Space, still eager to answer the call of Holy War upon the Galaxy, traveling system to system, aiding their brothers and sisters in the destruction of the Infidels. Once all the faithful received the summons from the Messiah, the Knights were among the tens of thousands of sects to answer the call. And due to their distinguished service in the Crusades to secure Jalaryias' place in the Outer Rim, they were made the Elite of the Elite. The Sacred Order of the Lost Ayrie Knights was officially established and was made the Military Arm of the Church. [b][u]Armor Variants[/u][/b] Although a great number of the Order's ranks are granted the honor of personalized suits of armor, many more are yet to be granted such privileges and are equipped with more standardized set of armor.

In the Ascendancy's early years, and in part of its past, the early navy had to rely upon retrofitted civilian ships and restored Solar War era Warships.

The Crusader fulfilling the role of an anti-fighter ship, a small array of AA guns bolted down onto its hull, and acting as a medium troop transport, ferrying the faithful in the hundreds to one target to another.

It would be a role the Watchmen excelled at greatly compared to an already aged fleet of retrofitted freighters. Armed with two PDF cannons and two torpedo tubes, a lone watchmen was more then enough for your bog-standard pirate vessel. After decades of long service, the Watchmen still persists, patrolling the borders. In wartime, particularly under the command of the "rogue" Agdemnar Crusaders, the Watchmen fulfills the role of a Heavy Fighter-Bomber.

The Ferryman was the go-to colonial utility craft, from troop deployment, to logistic transports, even retrofitted as light gunships, its modular nature proved a boon for poorer colonies. Despite its old age, the ferrymen served many worlds well for centuries to come, even into the Great War. The ferryman also proved as a very useful asset for many Ashtari Sects once they declared their Holy War, allowing cells far greater reach as they waged their many insurrections. Now in the preset time, the ferryman's time has come, many still in reserve and in use, but is slowly being phased out by the more much advanced and sophisticated Virtuous Combat Dropship.

The Salvation was designed to fulfill a modular role just as its predecessor before, using its state of the art magnetic clamps to transport heavy cargo or armored vehicles with ease. The standard National-grade model of the Salvation is equipped with one heavy repeating laser turret, two sets missile launchers, one dedicated for armored targets and the other for lightly armored targets or infantry and lastly a small manned laser turret place in the troop bay in the back of the vehicle. Salvation Dropships sold outside Ascendancy Space are significantly of lower quality, but remain reliable and sturdy.

Armed with a small array of Point defense guns, anti-ship batteries and missiles, the [I]Truth Seeker[/I] is more then a match for any pirate vessel, in addition to her defense systems, she carries over seventy strike craft and two dozen support craft. [u]Sentinel-class Assault Shuttle[/u] [img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/1785c3d6-b815-487e-b4ad-c518b4a456c6.png[/img] The primary mode of transportation for Inquisitors throughout Ascendancy Space. The Sentinel serves as a harrowing reminder of the Inquisition's far reach throughout the Ascendancy, serving as simple shuttles to ferry Inquisitors to their targets, to deadly pursuit craft if their target proves more elusive and flees offworld. The sentinel is armed with four forward facing plasma reaper cannons, one missile launcher and one defensive tail gun to ward off any potential attackers from the rear.

The Ascension is the pride and mighty Fist of Jalarysias and serves as the symbol of the Ascendancy's slow, but creeping technological evolution, and one of their many steps towards becoming a major power in the Galaxy. Similar to its Federation and Commonwealth counterparts, the Ascension serves as a Fleet Command vessel, however has more "teeth" so to speak. The Ascension's armaments consists of hundreds of point defense guns, anti-ship batteries, Missile and Torpedo launchers and lastly its primary weapon, the Particle Burst Cannon. Echoing the design of the Federation Solaris, the Burst Cannon runs the length of the Ascension. In addition to its armaments, the Ascension carries a small fleets-worth of auxiliary craft in any scenario that the Ascension engages the enemy alone.
