History of The Skolian Empire
The Skolian Empire traces its roots to six thousand years ago, when an unknown race took humans from Earth and resettled them on a planet called Raylicon. Then the unknown race disappeared, leaving only parts of their technology behind. The humans on Raylicon used this technology to develop space travel. They founded the Ruby Empire and colonized hundreds of planets. But the empire collapsed, and many worlds were left isolated for thousands of years. Gradually, the empire was rebuilt, and approximately 400 years ago, the Raylicans re-developed space travel.
The Raylicans also rediscovered the Locks, devices that allow advanced telepaths to establish interstellar network called the Kyle Web or psiberweb, that can be used by others. Thus the Rhon project was developed to genetically create the necessary neurochemistry to power the Locks. The unintended result of the Rhon project was however the creation of Aristos, race of anti-empaths, whose brain interpret pain of others (especially of psions) as pleasure, which turned them into sadists.
This led to the birth of two competing interstellar empires – Eubian Concord (founded by Aristos) and Skolian Empire - founded by Lahaylia Selei, progenitor of the modern Ruby Dynasty, a family of Rhon telepaths who currently co-rule the Skolian Imperialate and power and maintain the Kyle Web.
