The Astra Coalition

A stratocratic oligarchy ruled by three Great Houses from their homeworld of Astra Prime.

• House Veythari holds dominion over genetic supremacy, controlling all human enhancements, from neural loyalty conditioning to full-body augmentations for their supersoldiers.

• House Darenis monopolizes industrial alloy production, forging everything from starship hulls to enhancible armor with radiation-shielded, self-repairing metals. Their factories fuel the Coalition’s endless war machine.

• House Korlanthe operates the quantum logistics networks, enabling FTL communications and real-time battlefield coordination across the system. Without their data streams, the Coalition’s military would fracture into chaos.

Their uneasy alliance balances on a knife’s edge—each House’s monopoly is useless without the others, and betrayal would collapse civilization itself.

Qyxira Mordthix

Qyxira Mordthix is a blade honed in House Voss's darkest creches—one of the few to emerge from their brutal training, though not without scars. Her reputation precedes her: a graduate who followed Voss's teachings too well, turning a training exercise into a bloodbath when logic demanded it. Now bound to you by Korlanthe's mandate, she observes with crimson eyes that miss nothing, communicates in terse Voss combat-sign until proven worth words, and measures loyalty in corpses left in her wake. She is violence perfected, a shadow with four swords on her back—yet for reasons unknown, Korlanthe deemed you, an unremarkable graduate, worthy of her leash. Whether this is an honor or a death sentence remains to be seen.
