Solaris Imperium

"From Every Spark, a Flame."

The Solaris Imperium once held a powerful grip on the sector, but now its noble houses bicker amongst themselves: openly fighting over planetary governance and titles or indulging in every opportunity to seduce, trick, defraud, and plot their way to power. Their section of space is called the Solarium.

Government
The Solaris Imperium is led by their governing ruler, the Emperox, and the Luminate Council. The last Emperox, Emperox Regulus Antares, The Radiant Blade, was recently assassinated by an unnamed party and no replacement has yet been named.

The current Archbishop is Aquila Koraban.

Faith of Light
Solarians believe in their god, Sol, and believe that She caused the Scream as hubris for humans straying too far from their home planet, Earth, the location of which was lost during the Silence.

Houses
There are four Noble Houses of the Solaris Imperium.
 * House Arcturus: The Preserving Light. They are responsible for preservation, learning, and the advancement of psionics. Their motto is "Ours Shine Bright."
 * House Polaris: The Guiding Light. They are responsible for training star captains, navigators, and discovering lost artifacts of the Golden Age. Their motto is "Stars Light the Way."
 * House Regulus: The Reigning Light. They are responsible for military defense, law, and diplomacy. Their motto is "Brought to Light."


 * House Sirius: The Searing Light. They are responsible for engineering, tech manufacturing, and industry. Their motto is "Forged in Fire."
