Papal
Palaces
- These palaces are placed on
planets of importance for the pope’s visit and the bishops, archbishops, cardinals,
and guards that he travels with
- These palaces also double as cathedrals
for daily worship and usually contain some memento from a saint
- It is theorized by the enemies
of the Ecclesia that these palaces could stand and become mechs that could
defend the planet. Because of this, they constructed their own weaponized
mechs. When the Ecclesia heard this rumor, they decided to make their
theory true not only because they wanted these large mechs for defensive
purposes, but also because their child-like imaginations were sparked by
the prospect of weaponized cathedrals and churches. This project was only
finished in the Milky Way Galaxy before they were forced to be used
Black
Suns and Golden Moons
- These black suns and golden moons
are only found in the furthest reaches of the galaxy. Black suns are known
to make people feel a cold warmth while the golden moons give a warm chill
and because of this, people are known to act more irrational and irritable
- The golden moons are in the
place where the sun is in the Milky Way Galaxy while the black suns are in
the place where the Earth’s moon is just as an example
- The galaxies that these moons
and suns are found in typically have the most hostile animals, poisonous plant
life, and uninhabitable planets
- It is theorized that God put
limits on the number of galaxies that humanity can inhabit because of the
effects of these suns and moons
"Alien"
Animals
- As humanity knows, there is no
life in the universe more intelligent other than it save for angels, demons,
and God
- The animals found on far galaxies
are like those found on Earth. Some are gentle creatures while others are
hostile and have to be exterminated if the planet is to be colonized then
there are those in between that are only hostile when threatened or disturbed
- There are also “alien” animals
that survive in space and fly around it. These animals are known to be
peaceful, only consume asteroids, and have exterior skin that is thicker
than asteroids
- Squads in the unknown regions
also report living planets or living beings that are the size of planets. These
living planets are either hostile or peaceful and are sometimes worshipped
by pagans
Purgatorial
States
- When the Ecclesia burns a
world with their most powerful weapon, all life ceases to exist on it for
a time before life rises from the ashes. The Ecclesia then repopulates it
with animals with other planets, builds its own settlement on it, or turns
it into a city world
Types
of planets
- City world – Planets comprised
of buildings built on top of each other with very few natural areas. These
are centers of trade, politics, and learning though the lowest depths of
these cities are notorious for their crime
- Underwater planets – Planets
that are mostly comprised of ocean with very few landmasses. People like
living in underwater cities for the aesthetic of it despite the dangers of
the underwater creatures
- Prison planets – These planets
are nearly uninhabitable because of their unpredictable weather patterns,
but because of the weather and the resources at these planets, prisoners
are brought here to work out their penance
- Living worlds – These worlds
are living beings and rarely found in the unknown regions of space. They
are either dangerous or passive creatures that aimlessly float in space. All
the living worlds found so far have little to no resources that can be
scavenged from them and appear to only be shows of God’s creativity and
power
- Dead worlds – These worlds are
ravaged by war to the point where nothing can be scavenged from it nor can
there be any kind of civilization to build on it because of varying
factors such as; the atmosphere, hostile weather, poisonous air, unstable
ground, etc.
- Resource worlds – Most if not
all of this world can be used as a place to gather vast quantities of resources unlike
most normal worlds. People from
different galaxies will migrate to this world for the abundance of jobs
and profitable opportunities that await them
- Feudal worlds – Normal planets
with Earth-like resources are made into feudal worlds, which is somewhere
between a city world and what would be considered normal centuries ago
with towns and smaller cities that don’t completely cover the world. A
majority of worlds are feudal worlds in the universe. They contain
resources, opportunities for trade, work, and relaxation
Language
and Cultures
- Unlike the cultures of days of
old on Earth, people identify with the religion they are a part of. The cultures
of old have long since been forgotten due to time, the age of secularism,
and the age of the future. Planets do have their own cultures and even
have more specific cultures based on the region of the planets, but they
are all a variant of a cultural part of their religion
- The primary languages spoken is
English with each empire having its own special language. For example, the
Ecclesia speak Latin, the Orthodox speak Greek, the Jewish speak Hebrew,
etc.
Life
spans
- The typical person can live up
to one-hundred and fifty years, however, people with access to the latest
in medical technology can live up to two hundred years, maybe thousands of
years if they enhance their body with cybernetics
David
vs Saul Act
- In the event that the current
king or ruler of an Ecclesia held planet is found unfit for his job, the
people of the planet or the ruling clergy will raise up someone to take
their place. These two people will fight with swords, guns, fists, or
whatever weapon they are both proficient in. If the original ruler wins,
they continue to rule until their next major failure. If the challenger
wins, they take the place of the ruler. If it’s a draw, the pope will
decide who receives the role since all rulers submit to the pope
- This act was inspired by the
events of the first short civil war in the Ecclesia’s early years to give the people a way and reminder that they get the ruler they
deserve
- If the fight between the ruler
and the challenger is discovered to be rigged in either’s favor, then the one
who rigged it is jailed for a penance of ten years with no bail in servitude
to the one they wronged
Politics
- The rulers of all planets
within a galaxy decide how they are to conduct galaxy-wide politics and
business with the approval of the ruling clergy
- Some galaxies have differing
ways of business and politics similar to that of Earth’s old countries
- Each planet has its own
military force to defend themselves
- All authorities of the
Ecclesia submit to the pope
- The upper clergy have been
known to be susceptible to corruption and bribery like all with the power
to rule over a nearly uncountable number of people
- The Ecclesia’s political system
is inspired by the monarchies of old, but updated to fit the age of the
future
