Greater Union

The Greater Union is a theocratic government that is ruled by the Void entity Vintas.

History
Following the fall of the Orochii Empire and the saelra species, Vintas arrived upon a world with its native primitive species still within their early bronze age. Using his power over the Void and his knowledge, Vintas took control over one of their tribes and began the process of uniting them through martial means. As he continued his conquest, he raised up his most devoted and empowered them with power that allowed them to display god-like strength over relative to their tribe mates.

After having unifying the world and its denizens under his rule, he brought his Greater Union to the stars while weaving the people's very way of life around himself. He built his new empire in the ruins of the former saelra civilization, using their now-abandoned technology for his own uses.

Culture
Using advanced genetics, many individuals born within the Collective has been altered in uteri, most of which were born in labs designed for breeding purposes. Each child being infused with Void energy, granting a greater level of loyalty and a degree of immunity to the Void than the standard. Vintak does so as a means to allow a net gain as when a subject dies, the Void essence that has since multiplied and matured, will return to him and augment his own powers. These vat born citizens are designated with the surname of their birthplace's name.

Despite the unity provided by a shared religion, many sections that make up the population have significant disagreements over basic ideals, even ending up with deaths on all sides.

Religion
The principle religion of the Greater Union is the belief in their ruler's divinity. Since the Void is common knowledge, many view him as a personification of the force that allows them to travel between the stars. Although it is wide spread, the religion that surrounds him are not mandatory, allowing varying levels of devotion.

Army
The soldiers who serve the Greater Union army, also called the Third Sphere, primarily wore grey and orange coloured combat armour. Much like in every modern military, soldiers are trained through various arduous training regimes that include live-fire exercises, weapon and vehicle maintenance and operation. The more common infantry and mechanized units are similar to other armies, however, the Third Sphere operate specialized units like the Dominion Legions, and Triton-class battlesuits. Drone-controlled vehicles are used in large numbers that vary in operational purpose, but most only require very little input from organic soldiers.

Each squad of the Greater Union army possesses a singular Chaplain who possesses the title of 'Master'. They can act as Void Shapers who channel the power of their squad into destructive attacks or effective defences.
