Fiction:The Evicted Mabius Covenant

Summary
The Evicted Mabius Covenant is a massive fleet of ships that is controlled by two races, the Calcimion and the Mabius, from the Mabius Galaxy. They are currently searching the Void for the cluster of Galaxies that ancient charts of the Mabius Empire point to.

They are somewhat peaceful, despite not approaching another Empire for millennium, however also have a highly powerful Military presence. Their technology is amazingly advanced after being jump started by the Ancient Mabius Empire, and has only grown more advanced as they live in the void. == Rise and Eviction of the Mabius Covenant ==

''“We the Calcimion Liberation Fleet, swear under oath of the Creator to follow in pursuit the goals of the ancient and forgotten Mabius Empire. Together with the Mabius Remnants, we will leave this corrupt Galaxy behind to join together with or smite whatever awaits us in the Beyond. We, together with the Mabius Remnants now form the Evicted Mabius Covenant.”''

Durring the rise of the Calcimion Empire, one of it’s scout fleets broke past the Mabius Blockade at the center of the Mabius Galaxy. The Calcimion Ship did not begin conquering and colonizing the planets behind the Blockade, but instead traveled to the very center finding there a massive construct left behind by the Mabius Empire.

The Construct released a signal to the Calcimion Scout Fleet. ''“We have discovered a presence that makes host of this universe, a presence that is darker then any other. But our mistakes have ended our chances of confronting them. We send this message to you, descendants of this Galaxy, find our remnants, light this gate, and help wage war against the Beings of Darkness.”''

As the Calcimion Scout Fleet listened to this message they made a decision to break free of their host Empire, becoming the Calcimion Liberation Fleet. The CLF fired up it’s Hyperion Drive, launching itself across the galaxy, although leaving behind the Hyperion Battery.

Durring this time the Calcimion Empire had conquered over half the Galaxy, while the other half waited in fear to be conquered. At the very fringe of the galaxy, the CLF placed a home base, reaching out for any society that resembled the Mabius Empire. Then they found one.

The Mabius Remnants, a tiny empire consisting of no more then four systems at the fringe of the universe greeted them with open arms. Upon hearing the CLF’s intent they agreed, on the condition that they first started the Liberation front against the Calcimion Empire.

The Liberation Fleet agreed, soon they massed with other empires, forming the Mabius Coalition to fight against the Calcimion Empire, but as the war proceeded, the Mabius Federation lost ground, systems fell slowly at first, but faster as time proceeded. Soon the Calcimion Empire reached the heart of the Mabius Federation. In one final desperate act, the Mabius Coaltiton used one of the Cross Galaxy Batteries to reach the core of the galaxy.

It was here that the Mabius Remnants activated the Blockade. The Aegis program, active, began eliminating all life outside of the galactic core, within days all space faring races were nothing but cinders and ash, the Galaxy set to start anew.

The Mabius also activated the Construct at the Core, which revealed itself to be a massive inter galactic battery. The Mabius Coalition, now only two different species, the Calcmion and Mabius Remnants, launched out across hundreds upon millions of light-years.

In thirteen years the Empire, now referring to itself as the Evicted Mabius Covenant, found itself exiting the “Phase Space” into the void between two galaxies.

The Modern Evicted Mabius Covenant
== Technology ==

The Evicted Mabius Covenant has a combination of the Warfare technology that was used by the Calcimion Empire, and the Omnipotent technology of the Mabius Empire. The combination made the EMC technology both massively powerful and civil. The EMC ships were designed as artificial living spaces when the fleet realized that it was in the Void between galaxies. These ships were known as the Civil fleet.

It’s main military power was presented by the ships that surround the rest of the fleet, known as the Shield fleet. The Shield Fleet is manned completely from the Capitol Ship at the center of the fleet, making them advanced robotic ships.

The main weaponry used by the fleet was the Ascendant Weaponry, the kind of pulse technology the Mabius Empire uses. Depending on the concentration of the Ascendant Pulse Waves, the weapons can either decimate living organisms easily, or completely obliterate matter from a distance.

This pulse technology is combined with the massively powerful Mobile Interstellar Weapon Array that the Calcimion Empire used make for a powerful and destructive combination. However the weapons have only proved to be planning ahead, as the EMC is still floating adrift and alone in the Void.

As far as civil technology is concerned, Medical technology is massively well placed, naturally simulated habitats are found on every non-combatant ship with large varieties of animals and plants supported by water recycling systems. Similar to these housing ships are the agricultural ships, responsible for water storage, food storage, and growth of food.

There are two laboratory ships, one concentrating on civil technologies and the other concentrating on military technologies. The two labs are run by their respective race. Each ship works to make life easier and more comfortable for the fleet, while also making it safe and strong.

The fleet, realizing it’s power supplies would quickly run dry in the Void, set course for their goal, launching themselves forward they aloud their kinetic energy and inertia to push the forward. Eventually the Civil Scientists developed an engine that could be made easily from the small amount of supplies they had and could produce more then enough energy to power engines, life support systems, and the more luxurious electrical systems of the fleet.

Thanks to this engine, the Compressed Materials were used to build thousands more ships, making the fleet more massive then ever before. It was at this point that the Fleet instated it’s new Democratic Systems, giving each captain and Admiral a place to speak and voice opinions.

Political System
''“I now call the Court of Captains to order. Today we add Captain Alomon to seat 9076. We are to discuss the goals of the Covenant."''

The two races live together in harmony, their Capitol ship serves as a political base for the massive fleet, each captain holding a seat at the council, and each sub-fleet represented by a member. The two races are responsible for different things. The Mabius are responsible for civil matters while the Calcimions are responsible for military practice and law enforcement.

As far as decisions that effect the entire Fleet, the Court of Captains speaks about their problems and ideas and the ones that are decided to be most important are presented to the Admiral Court who make the ultimate decisions.

On the condition that the EMC did come across another Empire, or reached a pre-inhabited Galaxy, they would be represented by the a single member of each race. The Philosopher Ankael was made the representative of the Mabius Remnants. And High Admiral Kathal was made the representative of the Calcimion Liberation Federation.

On the condition that it was wanted, but not necessary to wage war on one of these foreign Empires, the Court of Captains would join together to discuss the advantages and disadvantages to the eradication or conquering of another Empire.

If, however, war was imminent and engaged by the enemy, or diplomacy would be useless with an enemy, the Admiral Court would enact Emergency Warfare Procedures, destroying any ship that so much as neared the Fleet without raising a signal for peace or friendly contact until the war ended.

Religion
'' “It is the god who granted us the gift of life that we worship. For once we tried to reach this god, and our arrogance was our undoing. Now we will praise the Creator, whether this god is a lonely one or a god surrounded by its brethren.”'' ~Ankael, High Philosopher of the Habius Remnants

When the Calcimion Empire joined together with the Mabius Remnants, they joined in religious belief as well. However the Mabius did not worship a god, as they were not sure what god to worship. Instead the Mabius Empire, during it’s prime, attempted to become godlike beings, ending in their destruction. As a lesson, the Mabius Remnants decided that life was meant to live, and godhood could not simply be acquired.

The EMC give praise to whatever god or gods gave life to the galaxy. As they are uncertain what to call this or these gods, they simply refer to it as the Creator. Small shrines on each of the non-warring ships are praise to the Creator, however the EMC does not have complex rituals for their religion.

Fleet Issues
''“The void is unforgiving. There is no Terra. There is no water, we must be careful with what we have, lest we die a slow, cold death, alone in the darkness.”'' ~High Admiral Kathal

The fleet faces eventual starvation or dehydration due to the slowly shrinking resources, despite the Compression Systems that compresses gallons of water into a single drop, expanded through decompression processes.

To prevent faster loss of resources, the Admiral Court indicted multiple laws. Food and water are each rationed properly, despite being omnivorous, meat is the only thing eaten by both races, not just the Carnivorous Calcimions, the Mabius make up for lost nutrients with a medical injection.

There is a population limit on the fleet, each mated pair can have only two children, keeping the Population properly balanced. If there is ever an unbalance between male and female offspring, genetic alterations are committed to rebalance the population.

Crime within the fleet is easily isolated, however sometimes proves an issue. This has resulted in the Weapons Control law, keeping any civilian of the Fleet from owning a weapon of any kind.

== Goals ==

''“We exist to discover what our forefathers were too arrogant to find. We have set our eyes upon their ancient charts and words and we set out across the Void to find the Galaxy their charts have marked. It is there we will find what so perplexed them.”'' ~High Philosopher Ankael

As stated, the EMC passes many galaxies by, still locked very distant from the super clusters that the Mabius Empire set aside. However, as time as continued they have neared this space. Many rumors surround their goals, some saying that they are home to creatures greater then the gods. Or that they are home to the Dark Presence mentioned by the message left in the Aegis Gate.

In modern times they have neared their goal, as they grow anxious to discover what it is that awaits them, they also are well prepared for any threat it might present, advancing their technology constantly as they continue through the Void. Thanks to the Ancient Mabius technology, they have quickly excelled in technology, advancing past the Mabius during their prime.

Hoping this has prepared them for whatever threat lies ahead, they charge forward through the Void, planning to reach their goal within the next two years.

The Fleet
''“The most massive number of ships yet to reach the Void. It’s technology is magnificent for such a young Empire, if it were to enter a star system, nothing could move. Hundred of thousands of ships manned and thousands more controlled by robotics. Carriers, frigates, capitol ships, all surrounding the massive Flag Ship.”'' ~Technician aboard the Flag Ship, Moriceant.

The UMC Fleet consists of exactly 1,829,084 ships sizing frigates and larger, including the Flag Ship and Admiral Capitol ships. 1,002,993 of these ships are Military ordinance and Defensive ships. The remaining 826,091 are host to the Fleet’s civilian population, agricultural areas, and bio-ships.
