Fiction:The United Empire of Solariea

The Solariean Empire is known for her annual Festival of Light, intelligence and honourable nature. She has also proven to produce some of the finest soldiers and traders within the galaxy.

Government
See Solariean Government.

The government of this empire is ruled by a Monarchy, who are advised on matters such as foreign policy by the High Council. The government is also divided into three political "entities" those being the Monarchy, the Military and Diplomatic Relations.

History
As the history of the entire empire is undoubtedly long and vast, researchers have condensed the history into five main time periods.

Pre-History

Due to grave robbers and other persons of similar occupations, not very much is known about the empire nor her history until after the Late Critus Period, where the Solarieans would have taken a more modern-esque path of evolution. However, with the information gathered from remaining, undisturbed archaeological sites, researchers have learnt a great deal nonetheless about the various time periods.

Their discoveries range from ancient burial techniques to ancient instruments and ceremonies.

Tribal Times

Much that is known about this time period comes from the carvings found etched into tombstones from this time. It is known that the ancient Solarieans reared animals, domesticating quite a few to either become household pets or work in fields as beasts of burden.

Early Critus Period

This was the age for Innovation. Solarieans for the first time, were creating and exploring like they had never done before.

Late Critus Period

This is the time period that historians know the most about, thanks to detailed writings from scholars of this time. For example, this was written by Sir Cometicus Vonder:

"The Festival of Lights was adapted from another, now extinct culture. For the long dead Copernis People, this celebration represented spiritual sanctification. For us, the civilized of the planet, it takes on a different meaning. One of honour and of goodness.

Previously, archaeologists were unaware of the origin of the Festival of Lights that is present in the current age, but now, Sir Cometicus Vonder has assisted in that regard.

Culture
The culture of this empire has been heavily influenced by other entities, mostly the alien races that dock at various space ports for trading purposes. Things such as food, attire and even foreign policy have been shaped by these brief encounters.
