Fiction:The Fallen

The Fallen, formerly The Zeal, are a corrupted faction of Calcimion Warriors who broke away from the EMC mother fleet and plunged the EMC into civil war in attempts to gain power over the entire Fleet. Unlike their brethren in the EMC, their skin is dark, grey and black. Their leader is the former High Admiral, Almoran.

They broke free of the EMC after it’s alliance with the URC, believing that the URC were not Pure, their leader, Almoran, High Admiral at the time, attempted to usurp the Grand Emperor, earning his decommissioning and imprisonment. However, his men broke him free of his binds and gave him control of The Third Assault Fleet, which quickly entered Phase Space.

The Fallen took their name after finding an ancient Zaolith relic on a small planet drifting through the void. The relic Corrupted them, filling them with a supernatural power and a new destructive purpose.

As the Fallen’s power grew they became more of a challenge for the EMC, attacking mostly scout fleets and drawing in larger fleets. They themselves do not have a fleet that could compare to the entire Mother Fleet, but are capable of destruction in terrestrial battles comparatively.

The Fallen gained even more power upon killing Kathal, who fell after a battle on a young, molten planet. After Kathal fell, many more within the Mother Fleet rose up to fight for the Fallen, becoming one of two major factions in the EMC civil war. The Noble, the remainder of the Martial Fleet, rallied under Galidan's forces and are slowly destroying what the Fallen have left.
