Theme:
General Overview The Nichi Empire or The Empire of the Sun some it is called by foreign nations is an Empire located in sector 17 of the Galaxy. Its ruler an Absolutism Monarch, with a population of Japanese zealots devoted to worshiping the suns and the Divine Emperor. Their technological level on the galactic scale is at a 1.
Spoiler:
When the Balkinization happened, a portion of the former Japanese population assembled under religious and nationalistic ideas that there is a planet out there in the galaxy that will be the perfect home for a new Japan. They created a subpar ship with a faulty mimic of the FTL drive with the resources they had and went on a Exodus.
For the next 7 years, they lived in that subpar colony ship, traveling on course that they had no reassurance that it would lead to a suitable planet. When they finally reached it, they were surprised, they came to a earth like planet but the interesting part was there was an archipelago formation of islands, in the shape of a dragon, one that stretched from pole to pole. They called this planet Nippon, for when they exited Hyperspace and saw the planet, they orbited around enough for the sun to move out from behind the planet.
They set down in the most flat plain they could find and started to build, for the first few years. They had towns, small villages and big cities built, all across Nippon. But then a couple officers got an idea that they were designated by god to rule over the rest, this resulted in creating the 500 year Feudal period. Nippon was fractured and there was always conflict and everything was dynamic. With all this conflict, the need for an advantage of tech was inflamed and they were able to produce their own weapons and Armour.
Then after 500 years of Fuedalism, the renewal came about. A man named Ichiro Mikoto came to the most populated city and went to the market plaza. Records say he preached about how God condemns us for our feudal way of life, how we have demoted our humanity for fighting over territory and wealth. The records even say he managed to summon a ball of sunlight in his hands, like the power of the sun in his hands. This caught the attention of people. He preached about how god has told him to lead the people of Nippon into an golden era where a man can lead a righteous life, serving his people and god and live a content life, undisturbed by greed.
Though, most people just paid attention to the light orb in hand. He said that God is present in our universe, that the sun was his power and life displayed. People came to hear him preach, to hold the ball of sunlight. The man preached and eventually formed a religion, with him as the leader, the preacher and the sun as god. People accepted his religion and soon he had a flock of zealots that would increase everyday. The Religion was named the "Hikyou." Though he never displayed his "Ability" to create the sunlight orb. He stayed true to his preaching and started a revolution. With his zealots, he revolted and destroyed the shogunate. He then named him self Emperor by Divine right, though no one went against him, captivated by the sunlight orb he made at his first preaching. He stated that he had absolute control over head of state and government and they agreed, they even thought him God incarnate.
With absolute control he reformed Nippon, ushering in a golden era. He promoted technological research and development, absolute devotion to God, nationalistic ideals and exploring the stars, to expand in it as well. He named his Empire the Nichi empire. For the last 30 years. there has been great strides in technology for the Nichi, mainly in energy, computer,and aeronautics.
They've just recently canalized the original colony ship into a capital ship:Taihou, the flag ship of their Royal Navy. They now look to the stars, to spread their religion and expand.
