The Sovereign Military Order of Malta "For I know the plans I have for you," declared the LORD, "plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Psalm 27:4 The Auroran Technocracy is reached out to by Malta, its offer rather long and mostly about military and bonuses. "We will share in our utopia, and you will be able to and encouraged to continue your pursuit of technology and the sciences." It is explained further that while it is further away, Malta can halve the distance instantly between the two and build an outpost in the middle so as to have near-instant travel between Auroran worlds and Rhodius. Moreover, Malta has possibly the strongest independent human fleet, stockpiles of defenses, and worlds untainted by poor industrial practices, and would instantly assist in buildups defensive and otherwise within what would be previously-Auroran territory. No religion will be imposed and no loss of rights will be incurred by not following the Catholic faith. Auroran leadership will also be given knight ranks similar in level to the ranks they occupied in their original government, and will retain most control over operations. Malta builds a military colony in the space south of the galactic Keerim-Lithruan battlefield, in a preemptive show of good faith to the Aurorans. https://gyazo.com/0008e888b393eb5326f81e118b1fdd3a[/img] Research into the device continues with incredible funding from the Order, now reaching levels only seen before in the House of Malta and the research of the Quantum Anchor. Any able alien residents of Malta willing are recruited to join the effort. Two more frigates begin construction in the Maltese shipyard, to further bolster its defense. Dual-Phase shields are also refitted onto any ships in service.

The Sovereign Military Order of Malta "I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people." Psalm 116:18 On the bridge of the O.M.N. Gran Italia, surrounded by the great screens giving view of Maltese space, John of Pisa was elected by conclave 86th Grand Master of the Order of Malta. His de facto leadership had lasted the past half a decade - his succession was little more than a formality. The Order had taken that time preparing for a war, transforming itself from the once-charity to a nation more like the knights they descended from. The House of Malta could be seen from the Dreadnought, the city-sized superstructure dominating the planet's landscape. On another screen, the networks of trade and activity continued around Maltense under the watchful gaze of Maltese knights. The two worlds were prosperous, beautiful. They were also between the Keerim and the rest of the southern galaxy. Now he stood with his three closest First Knights, and he searched desperately for a solution. The concept came while searching through technology ideas from the late 1900's. "All of our manpower. All of our researchers, our engineers, our scientists and excess energy. Research Molecular Disruption. For the sake of our future, please give me something." The Molecular Disruption Device, called the MD Device in short, utilizes the idea of two destabilizing energy pulse beams being used to disrupt the sharing of electrons between different atoms, destroying chemical bonds and therefore whatever those atoms compose. This energy then expands, overtaking a small vicinity but growing weaker as it expands. If it hits more molecules, though, it expands further, disrupting those, creating more energy, and once again starting another dispersal process. In theory, it could expand indefinitely if calculations are done incorrectly. Once it is used, any molecules other than pure use of elements would be reduced to basic elements. It is based further off of Maltese research into the quantum field being unable to put something where molecules exist and warp mechanics in which a type of field is transmitted around the vehicle. To power such a device, the use of previous energy research facilities to test the feasibility of the project are used. {Theoretical Cycle: Beams Collide - Field Created - Field hits Molecule - Molecule Dispersed - Field Expands from energy of dispersed molecule - Molecules continue to disperse - Field expands as long as more molecules exist to disperse} The molecular disruption device in theoretical use, the beginnings of the field visibly expanding in the distance.

The Princedom of Fenn Comprising of the Mali'fenn for which the Princedom is named, the nation of Fenn has long been known for its military strength but minimal numbers. A long history of loss and battle has ingrained warfare into the very fibers of its being, and though it offers the same liberties to all of its citizens, it views those of other nations with distrust. The Princedom of Fenn is ruled by its Grand Prince, descendant of Aelthos I Tundrak and wielder of ultimate authority within the Princedom. The succession of the Princedom is a cognatic tanistry - heirs are decided by the sitting Grand Prince from among his children, male or female, and should he not have chosen one it defaults to primogeniture. Grand Prince of the Princedom of Fenn His Majesty, Aelthir of the House Tundrak, second of his name, Grand Prince of the Princedom of Fenn and of the Mali'fenn, Lord Commander of the Ivae'fenn, Commandant of the Citadel of Acael, Protector of Leon, Ihnsil'sohae, Thill'onn, and chosen of Wyrvun [ww2buff99] r. 1584-current The Grand Council Grand Chancellor | Logan of the House Drakon [Estense] The Grand Chancellor handles the household of the Grand Prince and general administrative duties of the Princedom. Logan has served on the council since 1583. Grand Princess | Arahaelth of the House Tundrak [LadyRebecca] The Grand Princess is on the Grand Council as an advisor to the Grand Prince and regent to an underaged Crown Prince. Arahaelth has served on the council since 1584. Elannil'talar | Princess Serelia of the House Tundrak [Roughed] The Elannil'talar is the equivalent to a High Priestess of other religions - her job is to protect the moral integrity of the Princedom. Serelia has served on the council since 1450. Lord Quaestor | Ailduin of the House Sylric [Masterchef89] The Lord Quaestor holds the treasuries of the Princedom, managing use of funds for military and diplomatic use. Ailduin has served on the Council since 1585. Lady Steward | Ciro of the Chand Family [MisguidedRoyal] The Lady Steward manages the housing and economic districts of the cities and castles of the Princedom. Ciro has served on the Council since 1589. The Mali'fenn The Mali'fenn, known colloquially as the Snow Elves, are both the majority and namesake of the Princedom. Known best for their pale features, they and the Princedom occupy the same space within the minds of most - it is unusual to find one of the secluded race outside of their citadels within the Princedom. The official religion of the Princedom, and the one followed the most by the Mali'fenn, is that of Wyrvun'fiyem, or Wyrvun reborn. Useful Threads
