Fiction:Crusaders of Spode

The Crusaders of Spode is an empire in the milky way galaxy.

Society
The Society is divided into castes in a hierarchy. Some species are higher up in the hierarchy than others. With this setup, most are surprised that there has yet to be any heretics or rebels. The Hierarchy can be viewed here.
 * 1) Ashonas - One of the founders of the Crusaders, they are a tall, reptillian species that is very intelligent. They are in charge of leading the rest of the Crusaders.
 * 2) Ixplix - The other founder, they are short and squat creatures that are quick to anger. They are in charge of leading the rest of the Crusaders.
 * 3) Unnamed Species - A species that joined the Crusaders shorlty after they were founded, they are a bipedal fishlike species that are onlt known on the battlefield as Zealot Commandos. They are in charge of minor military operations.
 * 4) Ape & Aepox - A single species that split apart, now rejoined under a single banner that joined the Crusaders a few years before the Perseus Deathlock. They are in charge of admitting and accepting new empires into the Crusaders.
 * 5) Tumorian - A recent addition to the Crusaders, they are monopeds disreguarded by the higher casts, but nevertheless they are devoted workers and faithful Zealots. They are in charge of minor terraforming and populating T0 planets (because they can live in that atmosphere).
 * 6) Minor Civilizations - There are a few other Tier 5 and 6 civilizations that are members of the Crusaders. Sometimes they're so new, the Ashonas and Ixplix don't even know they've joined. Some of these minor civilizations include: the Sivers, Fernikki, Hoggiraptor, and Lilo empires.
