The Crystalline Religion

[civ2buf]

Quiet After the Storm
76th month of Luminostra's rule

The Piundon had their first look at the Crysllonite system since the war began, and concluded the Cryslonite had spent everything on the attack, and they would be exposed again the next time.

As the Encyclopedia Multiversia says, Luminostra affected the other crystals' like a Sun affects a planet. But every minute, the planets nudge the Sun a bit as well. Luminostra was tired. This is not something Crystals' are, but Luminostra was tired in spirit from holding up the Cryslonite collectives' moral.

He was beginning to lash out like a losing dictator. Luminostra commited sacrelige, by pondering if the Piundon sun could be destroy. The Sun was holy. Most of the conflict was in his head, as the collective was almost impossible to keep in a religious mood, and they did not object to the plan, at least in most moments.

Once the Piundon were finished, nothing could stop the Cryslonite, and the Religion or at least the collectives' pride could be restored.

It was a long path to research the ways to destroy a star, but Luminostra convinced himself that this would help renew the SunWorld lores and religion. He thought all research would validate the religion. Of course, in truth, knowledge of stellar mechanics would prevent the Religion from holding sway anymore.

Satellite and mine defenses were finally being set up, the Piundon attack was a bit too fierce for the ship defenses, and it was getting worse every month. The Supremacy ships did well, they could destroy 2-3 light cruisers each, because of their excellent weapons and shields. For unlike the Ascendant Cryslonite, in this universe, the Cryslonite had adapted to fight other ships. It was a neccesity of daily life for the Cryslonite.
