"We Inherit the Cosmos"
[img]borken[/img]The Flag of the Lunar Empire, Depicting Jova's Ancient Symbol
Though limited by its lack of common-use Faster Than Light transportation until recent years, the JLE has managed to colonize much of their solar system, a few local stars, and are fierce defenders of their new home. With the Great Collapse a distant memory, they reach again for the stars, and are guided by two powerful forces: their Emperor, Wei Granin, and a powerful and ancient AI known as the Prime Operand, who is worshipped by a few as a deity - many others practice the Rinzaizen tradition of the (since destroyed) Mujin Sphere Alliance. In spite of their insistence on being known as an empire, they are often vassels to more-powerful neighbours. Internal politics is highly feudal, leading to some to suggest that the Emperor is more a king-of-kings than a true head of state.
Strictly utilitarian, the Jovian culture praises responsibility and hard work over leisure. The Fine Arts have atrophied somewhat while technology and economy has flourished. Living as they do in an environment of microgravity and lunar colonies, they have a particular casual culture as far as in-system travel is concerned. In point of fact, they are presently undergoing a civil war over matters regarding interstellar travel.
As a military power, Jovians are largely incapable of engagements outside of their own systems, but defend those systems ruthlessly, usually through the use of battlegroups organised around Van Allen-Class GMCs.
