The Ravir, besides being the name of the empire, is also what they call the network of thought that binds every living thing above the Virus level on every Ravir world together. This network can be gifted to others, though only the Ravir know how, and it is believed to be one of the causes for their lack of any weaker emotion whatsoever. The Ravir is like a network, it allows thoughts and feelings (like pain and fear) to cross between individuals. This network does not act involuntarily though, you have to send thoughts to others using willpower to do so. You cannot simply think "hi" and have others hear you. You have to force your thoughts on another for them to hear it.

The Ravir also allows the RSR to completely control lesser beings. Animals become tools, and entire ecosystems are nothing more then parts of the Ravir. This gives them absolute control over all non-virus life within their borders, allowing them to stop ecosystem collapses before they can even start. It is a powerful tool that they use quite often. Because the entire ecosystem is Ravir, an attacker must kill all life on the planet in order to win, for even bacteria that are Ravir will fight to kill you. That is their greatest weapon. Once they have hold of a planet, they never let go while the planet is habitable.
