The Christopians of antiquity were once a warlike people, obsessed with the accumulation and manipulation of power. For many generations, the Christopians fought in a variety of harsh and devastating conflicts. Much of the Christopian homeworld, Aldebaran, became uninhabitable due to the ongoing effects of war. Countless tribes waged merciless wars of attrition against their neighbors - petty conflicts demanded retribution, and for an age there was no peace. One day, this changed. One tribe, which faced extinction, fled their ancestral homeland to the greatest mountain range on Aldebaran - Mount Christophsus Fantasticus Maximus Gloriosii. There, in secret, they fostered a way of life much different than their warlike ancestors and contemporaries. They turned to logic, to reason, to science, and mathematics to guide their paths. The new tribe, the Christopherusi, then began to travel from their new home spreading these ideas. The global change that eventually came to Aldebaran was not easy or immediate. But, eventually, the Christopherusi led the charge to change their civilization from aggressive to reasonable. From that fateful day on, the people of Aldebaran began to refer to themselves as "Christopians," in reference to the tribe which established itself at the summit of Mt. Christophsus. The Christopians are led by a hereditary emperor who rules over all of the Christopian's holdings in their stellar system and beyond. Christopians are far from xenophobic. The corner of the galaxy controlled by the Christopian Empire is rich in "alien" life, and many of these races have been welcomed and incorporated into the Empire. Christopian society is largely made up of manufacturing and banking - they are largely considered to be one of the greatest banking societies in the known universe. Perhaps because of the logic of numbers and the inherent balance in all well-regulated formulae, the Christopians are very sensitive to theft, cheating, and other similar vices. Rarely can Christopians be prodded to show their illogical, warlike side - but if ever such an event were to occur, it would be in response to these causes. Emperor Chris XVII is the current Emperor of the Christopian Galactic Empire. The Christopian Empire has known peace for over two-thousands of its years, referred to as "ACD," or "After the Death of Emperor Christopius I," the unifier of the Empire on Aldebaran. However, more and more refugees have fled into the boundaries of the empire seeking asylum and refuge. They flee an unknown force known as the "Federated State of Mind," a belligerent, combative species that seeks to unite the galaxy under their one rule and will. With little regard for life other than their own, they conquer and enslave all of those they come across. Although never having met these foes in person, the Emperor has sworn to protect those to whom the "FSM" has conquered, and has vowed to assist them repatriate to their ancestral homelands. |
