The Formation of the Divine Principality
See the Road to PARTIZAN for more details.
The First Major Houses
After their departure from the Twilight Mirage, the Divine Free States, under their leader Aram Nideo, and the Principality of Kesh, under the Rapid Evening, joined together to form the Divine Principality. The Divine Free States and Principality of Kesh formed the first two major houses, calling themselves Stel Nideo and Stel Kesh. This was immediately proceeded by a number of small skirmishes between minor houses which prompted Nideo to develop the "Many Stars" argument, which alongside Asterism, would come to define the philosophy of the Divine Principality.
Expansion of the Principality
While many smaller cultures such as the Hypha were quickly subjugated by the Divine Principality, some would fight back with galaxy redefining consequences. Notably HORIZON, formed from resistance within the Rapid Evening who sought to unseat Aram Nideo, fought to keep the Galactic core free from the Principality. Their team delivered the capricious Divine Perennial to Earth, where she took over a system of nanomachines becoming incredibly powerful and causing massive disruptions to technology across the galaxy with the Perennial Wave that both impaired the Principality's FTL capabilities, but also caused significant destruction of life both organic and synthetic.
With the Principality off balance they faced a significant barrier in what became known as the Divine Clash. An alliance forms between the Orion Combine, who reunited against the threat of the Principality, and the Beneficial Coalition, who formed from what was once the Autonomous Diaspora. Whey fight together for some time until the alliance came to an end when the Orion Combine deployed the EDICT System giving them the ability to shut down and control Divines. Betraying their allies in the Coalition, Orion used their system to bargain their way into the Principality as the third major house, Stel Orion. Shortly after the Principality regains the ability to use FTL travel though the creation of the Portcullis System, which they used to recruit the Columnar, a synthetic people who were hit hard by the Perennial Wave. After being integrated as Stel Columnar a subgroup of organic cyborgs known as the Equiaxed where stripped of their semi-autonomous status and subjects of study by Stel Orion.
