Day 19 - Skorchers

#morktober Day 19 - Broken

Infinite Citadel

• 1 min read
An emblem stands prominent over a firey skyscape: a fist soaked in its own blood, clenched and raise; golden sunlight and burnt shadows form the fist, around which orbit three blood red suns.

Skirmishes between unnamed factions stoke the flames of a galaxy in constant battle. Most of these fights are forgotten; the names, faces, and causes lost to the perpetual proxy war for control. Out of these ashes, only one faction is spoken about - with reverence or vitriol.

The Autonomous System Liberation Front

a.k.a. SKORCHERS

The Skorchers were the military arm of the Autonomous Systems, who rose up against CoreSys to seek independence. Named for the burned earth they left in their wake, the faction’s symbol, a trio of suns in blood red, was proudly emblazoned on their space suits and skips.

Their uprising was the first and last to breach The Authority, and that success became their downfall. Proven to be a true threat, CoreSec awoke the Wardens and unleashed their capital ships. The Autonomous Systems were ultimately massacred, but those who remember the war and its casualties can still be found across the Span.
