Occasus Cult
The Occasus Cult is a religious order that worships the Ruin in all its forms. As far as the current people of the Galaxy know, the Cult officially emerged in 316 A.F, 25 years prior to the Moreta Quadrant's exploration by the many factions of the Milky Way. However, it is known to beings that lived during the Old Age of Magic, eons ago, that the Cult was very much present under a different name.
The Cult of this Age is fractured into multiple Syndicates all spread throughout the Galaxy, 4 of them being particularly prominent among to more numerous minor Syndicates :
- The Arbiters : A syndicate which prioritize developing new technologies and ways to spread the Ruin's Gift. Their leadership is composed of a single individual, a hylotl to be exact, and their overall aesthetic is closer to that of researchers than actual cultists.
Important Notes : The Ruin Fragments were originally developed by this Syndicate before eventually spreading off to other Syndicates, but the Ruin Fragments still remain unknown to most people outside of the Cult, for they are extremely secluded, and for someone to know about their existence would require them to venture deep into Cultist territory. The brunt of their forces is situated in the Ordel Quadrant, but there are smaller outposts and groups all around the Galaxy. - The Marauders : A syndicate overly violent and militaristic who specialize in fleet battles as well as hijacking both spacecrafts and installations alike. Their leadership is also composed of a single individual by the name of Noïer, a Tenebhrae. Their overall aesthetic is very much navy-inspired.
Important Notes : More than half of the current fleets owned by this Syndicates are old Protectorate fleets that were hijacked by the Cult following to collapse of the Terrene Protectorate. The brunt of their forces is situated in the Apoctum Quadrant and is slowly moving towards the Ordel Quadrant. - The Black Knights : A syndicate of mysterious and mostly mute knights clad in blackened flesh armors who are constantly hunting down facilities storing or studying the Ruin. Their leadership is a mystery in itself and their overall aesthetic is that royal knights equipped with full-plate armor made of penumbrite and black flesh assumed to come from the Ruin itself.
Important Notes : While not much is known of this Syndicate, they have many times been referred to as the "Rot-Guards of the Ruin" and spend most of their time on Atropus Worlds without expanding to other worlds. The brunt of their forces moves all across the Galaxy but always ends up coming back to fringe space of the Unima Quadrant, further away from the Galaxy's Core than the Outer Belt. - The Jesterians : A syndicate of lunatics and cultists wanting nothing but to spread the madness of the Ruin through manipulation of certain political parties and enslavement all throughout the Galaxy. Their leadership is composed of multiple Chiefs which take care of their own little groups. One such Chief is Meemey, one of the first Ruin Fragments created by the Arbiters in a joint operation. As for their overall aesthetic, it is very jester-like and all over the place as they only seek to have a good ol' time under the Ruin's influence.
Important Notes : While the Jesterians are the most spread out Syndicate of the entire Cult, they do remain very powerful due to their information network as well as their neutrality when it comes to inner fights among Syndicates. Their forces do not have a specific Quadrant which they inhabit.
