Stability and Order: 701RCC - 1000RCC
This is an era of relative peace. Despite having control of the known galaxy, the Church still has battles to fight within. Petty politics and useless debates about Church teachings weigh down the Church's attention in caring for their own and the possible threat from the unknown regions. Groups of the Church continue to explore the depths of unknown space to find mostly inhospitable planets, shattered remnants of dead empires, and hostile wildlife. There is even a planet that is a living organism that the Cleaners destroy. Technology continues to advance in complexity along with discoveries in medicine though it seems that the advances will reach a dead end as the newly discovered materials in the unknown regions are mostly unusable or too toxic to be used for anything good.
Pope Extollo III continues the hard work of his predecessor and Pope Fèngxiàn II continues to do the same but doesn't continue the practice of immediately executing heretics and heathens who refuse to submit to the Church. Instead, they are sent to jail to be evangelized and if they prove to be loyal to the Church, they are allowed to live as normal citizens. This stirs up controversy and further divides the faithful even though the opposing side begrudgingly accepts this new ruling. From there, Pope Chaleureux IV takes over. By this time, the infighting of the Church has gotten worse despite the pope's best efforts to calm them down. One side wants to be more gentle on the non-Catholics while the other side wants them either executed, in jail, or put on their own planet. Meanwhile, the remnants of the other empires have formed one alliance and have people within the Church to spread their lies and cause more infighting.
