Fiction:The Purity

The Purity is an ancient empire of sapient crystalline and mechanical constructs. Their leader is the Pure One, who was put last into stasis. Their technology involves the making of Dyson Spheres around stars by destroying the orbiting planets and neighboring stars. They were in stasis for a long time due to the lack of energy to reactivate their main Dyson Sphere to which they were put after a great conflict. They were reactivated by the Oculeen to stop the probe pollution.

Pure Energy
The Pure Energy is a form of the Autogenetic Energy that is created by it transforming the concept of Purity into a physical force. Using it, one can either disintegrate an object into Pure Energy or create nearly any material or object with it. Other than that, it manifests strangely on one's mind, purifying them, which the Purity uses for their ultimate goal. You must of course be pure to make use of it or the concept won't be brought into a physical force. The Purity is known to only use this form of energy and uses it nearly everywhere.

Location
The Purity is located in the Mirus Galaxy, the Reaper's Grasp, and has recently started colonizing Selten, their worlds being in the northeast corner in the Sparcity zone, around the Technoverse Nova Barrier. Their worlds in Selten are not Dyson Spheres as per usual, instead, they are collectors of Matter Energy, a strange essence formed by dark matter going in contact with the Technoverse.

Leader
The Pure One is the leader of the Purity and the head of their Collective Consciousness.

Society and Culture
The Purity does not have a society in a traditional sense. While being a Collective Consciousness, meaning their minds are connected and have a single will, every Puritan can think independently if they ever need to. The entire workforce is done by automated robots controlled by the consciousness, so that they don't have a class system. Most of their culture involves their religion and working towards their ultimate goal.

Religion
The Purity follows the Doctrine of Purity, the belief that one must cleanse the impurity inside of himself to achieve true Purity. They define many things as impure, the seven sins, evilness in general and other flaws being among them. The Purity believes that this impurity is like a plague, corrupting everything in its path. Therefore, it must be cleansed. The Purity has chosen it as their ultimate goal to purify the universe, no matter the cost or force needed. Their Purification Project, forcefully purifying someone on the consciousness level is therefore considered morally acceptable among them, the second best option in fact, right after trying to bring another species to themselves decide to free themselves out of the shackles of impurity. Cleansing is the last option for them, but it will certainly not stop them from reaching their goal.

Military
The Purity has three main types of spaceships, each one used for different purposes. The Purity operates with around 125 million Purity Probes, 250 Purity Carriers and 5 Purifier Vessels. The Probes are weak alone, but quite powerful in masses and capable of deconstructing entire planets into Pure Energy. They are also the building force of the Purity, capable of creating entire megastructures out of Pure Energy. The Purity has recently started manufacturing Purity Carriers, which are capable of advanced FTL travel and creating or deploying Purity Probes in battle, but can also be used to transfer large quantities of Pure Energy. But the key to their fleet are their Purifier Vessels, huge supercarrier-dreadnoughts ornamented with latest Purity technology, as well as the Purification Project, a powerful essence-based mind-altering device that can "purify" the inhabitants of a planet. All ships of the Purity are also connected to the collective consciousness, functioning like a single entity in battle.

Technology
Unsurprisingly, the Purity has quite advanced technology for a usual species in Mirus, with them being a Fallen Empire. One of their biggest advantages over other empires is the nearly perfect energy conversion of matter or energy to Pure Energy and in reverse, the replication of nearly any material with sufficient quantities of Pure Energy. This has allowed them to build Dyson spheres far more efficiently than most competitors. As far as weapons go, the Purity uses crystals to concentrate the said energy into a deadly beam that deconstructs the struck material into Pure Energy, allowing for further use. They make use of Krasnikov tubes for better mobility and and have them installed at every Dyson sphere they control, which also gives them the ability to transport large quantities of Pure Energy between Purity worlds.

Purity Worlds
The Purity Worlds are all in fact Dyson Spheres that work as homes and can produce spaceships, boosting their spaceship production relative to the number of Purity worlds. The downside to their strategy is that the Purity can't use planets for much other than the construction of new Purity worlds.

Origin of the Purity
Initially, a group of Ravenrii decided to flee from the impending doom of the Xhodocto to the Mirus galaxy. There, they built special constructs, the Puritans, to put their souls in to ensure that they remain hidden from the all-seeing eye of the Xhodocto. Since the Celestial energy was slowly ceasing to exist, they found something to replace it, the Autogenetic energy, which they formed to conform to their will, creating Pure Energy. They then channeled it through the new bodies, sacrificing their own and awakening the new ones in the process. At last they put themselves to stasis to cleanse the last traces of them.

The Purity Probe Pollution
Before the Pure One was put to stasis, he activated a security probe named AK-1000 to protect their home from outside threats, but he was also assigned a mission. A mission to reactivate their dyson sphere by making Purity Probes based on his own blueprint and sending them out into open space to collect Pure Energy. Though what the Pure One had not expected is that the Security Probe was damaged over the course of their time in stasis. That made him make the error to put 55/10 into the priority of the Purity Probes to break down objects into Pure Energy instead of 5/10, what lead to the Probes becoming hostile without reason because of a priority over-ride. Then, due to the error and the intrusion of JBot into the system of the Probes he has only several cycles to finish the mission, he was obliged to speed up the process by only focusing the Probes to find Pure Energy. He was put to sleep by JBot entering the code but was reactivated and later reprogrammed once the Purity awakened. After that, a new set of Purity Probes was launched to send the old ones to return to the Origin for reprogramming or recycling.

Awakening of the Purity
After a Purity Probe attacked the capital of the Oculeen, they decided that it was time to act and destroy the origin of the probes. In the end, their experimental weapon malfunctioned and accidentally delivered the remaining energy needed to reactivate the Origin.

Allies
“Together, we shall strive to perfection of this universe, and no one will impede upon us.”

Pure
'“You are pure, a beacon of hope. The hope, that one day, everyone will become as you.”'
 * The Oculeen “They were granted the Sign of Purity for reactivating the Origin.”

Neutral
“Sooner or later, you will become pure and accept the truth.”

Impure
'“The impure, a plague corrupting everything in its path. Therefore, it must be cleansed. And we are the ones to do it.”'
 * The Adresaas Republic “The corrupt core of Selten is digging its grave, it's amusing to watch.”
 * The Infernal Republic “Demented children of evil, let us put your corrupted souls to an end. You will be put responsible for your crimes.”

Purified
“Purified, once and for all.”
 * The ones they used the Purification Project on to "purify" them.

"There is nothing more pure than the Void. What you call purity is an abomination... a falsehood. Come, I can show you the Truth."

"Purity, how disgusting. You break down the world and reshape it into something it is not. You are not bringers of purity but destroyers of Truth and bringers of Lies. A different Lie then the Void but a Lie all the same."
