“These so-called Lords condemn in others sins they themselves flaunt shamelessly. They burn entire worlds over the slightest divergence. They shall not do so here, even should we all be drowned in the Sea of Souls.”
–Intercepted vox transmission, used to implicate Dyrulli in the Vaxi Atrocity
Other worlds beyond those linked through the Grand Processional wield great power in Askellon’s fate. Systems such as these can have unparalleled influence across the sector, and some even outside of it. Some of these planets claim to date back to Askellon’s founding, others are only several millennia in age, but all are puissant and between them control most of the commerce, industry, and manpower of Askellon.
