- Fiction }} CAAON or the Communal Arcane Alliance Of Nations, is an empire in the Arcane Sector. After the dissolution of the previous empire the Arcane Empire the arcane sector is now a lawless, chaotic place. CAAON seeks to change all that, and become an empire to reckoned with.

Arcane Empire
CAAON started off as the Arcane empire, so it is necessary to cover their history first. The Arcane empire started off as a series of disconnected tribes on the planet. Then, the great military strategist, Emperor Makalzie, came and united the tribes, founding the first Civilization on Cypsy. Makalzie's successors then turned it into a trading civilization, that used money and connections to discretely unite the world under their banner. After that,the money that was previously used to fund the conquest efforts, was used to fund the space program. After they developed FTL travel, they quickly used diplomacy, trade, and warfare to carve out a place for themselves in the Milky way Galaxy, which they named the Arcane sector. However, they soon attracted the attention of the Grox empire. The Grox attacked the Arcane empire, and an event known as the 50 decade war ensued. Though the Arcane empire was able to defend themselves, they took heavy damage, leading them into the equivalent of the great depression. This increased crime and terrorism, and on top of that, smaller empires where taking advantage of it to raid them. The once great Arcane empire fell.

Formation
After the Arcane Empire fell, Enklima took over with the a criminal empire that exploited the chaos to loot, plunder, and enslave the inhabitants. The former admiral Coriax Sialis decided to put an end to this. He called all of his former allies together and they went around the sector, banding together people who wanted to live in peace and order. Thus CAAON was born.

Religion
While there are certainly atheist or agnostic citizens, there are also religious ones. the main religion in CAAON is a branch of Spodeism that has slightly different beliefs.

Spode
In this branch, Spode is the god of perfection. They believe that Spode is a being that governs all galaxies and that perfect beings, regardless of if they worship Spode or not, can join him. They also refer to Spode with the gender neutral pronoun zhe.

Afterlife
Unlike most beliefs, that believe that evil ones are sent to eternal punishment, and good ones are sent to eternal paradise, this system is very different. they believe that in the afterlife, you work to atone for sins in life. The afterlife, they believe, is a struggle as they do various things both in this world and in the divine realms to work off their sins. These beings are known as atoners.

Relationships
Allies-Resistance to all errors, comrades! None Neutral-We're not quite sure what to make of you yet -You seem to be an honorable people devoted to democracy Angered-We're fairly sure we don't like you -You do realize that we'll have to stop you, right? -Go ahead.
