Physiology
We're not so different you and I ... well okay, we are.
The Scinfaxi are evolutionarily the decedents of what was once dominant predator on Scin. They are humanoid reptiles similar to what to what Terrans once called the Dinosauroid. The average male is 2.9 meters tall and weighs
147.73 Kgs.

History
Those who forget it are doomed to erm.... something ...
Early in Scinfaxi history they where visited by several scout ships from the Hessive Empire. Overtime this visit passed into the realm of legend and myth. Many hundreds of years later the Hessive invasion began. The Scinfaxi crushed because at the time Scin was still a world dominated by feudal kingdoms and they had not yet industrialized. For thousands of year they suffered under their new masters. During this time they learned the ways of the Hessive and learned about their technology and how to reproduce it. And they did and slowly they built up enough arms to overthrow their masters and retake their home. When the rebellion did come the Hessives were completely overwhelmed. They believed that the Scinfaxi had been thoroughly pacified. For reasons not entirely know the Hessive response was very slow. It wasn’t till months later that Hessive troops began arriving. The extra time had allowed the Scinfaxi to fortify their positions and use captured factories to manufacture more weapons and ammunition. The Hessian troops were inexperienced and at first were slaughtered in combat. It was in tanks and aircraft that they held the advantage; however the Scinfaxi soon devised anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles based on rocket launchers stolen from enemy ammo dumps. The Hessians believed that one world was not worth the very high cost and decided to withdraw.
After they Hessians left the Scinfaxi began to rebuild their civilization. Kessel, the leader of many of the rebellious forces, was declared the Protector and Emperor of the Scinfaxi People a hereditary title that is still by the current Emperor Skaalerg IV. The Hessives had left several of their ships behind during their retreat. Once again showing their ability to copy technology, the Scinfaxi began building prototype ship themselves.
As the Scinfaxi began to explore the galaxy they encountered the Hessives again. At first the Hessives did not know how to handle the Scinfaxi. Later, however the Hessives turned hostile and began attacking any Scinfaxi ships entering their systems. The Scinfaxi retaliated and began to build larger and more powerful ships then the Hessives possessed. It would be a long and costly war for both sides, but eventually the Hessives would submit and be forced to work as slaves themselves. The Scinfaxi has been much more generous with other civilizations it has encountered. In exchange for surrender they offered self-governance on a planetary scale and the same rights as Scinfaxi citizens.
During this period of early expansion, many different and competing sects of the Covenant of Deliverance emerged. The many holy wars and crusades during this period threatened to tear the young Empire apart. The conflict, which would later become known as the Crisis of Faith, would lead to the near collapse of the Empire in a bloody civil war between the three main sects: the Confederation of Light, the Preachers of Gryphonne, and the Covenant of The Great Scinfrien. Each sect’s interpretation of the Sherak’se Quarem Ne differed and their different opinions on matters such as the divinity of the Emperor, the roles of the gods in everyday life, and the promised afterlife of Sabat made the sects’ devotees loathe each other before the conflict erupted into a full blown holy war. Eventually the Confederation of Light, with Emperor and his armies defeated the warriors of Preachers and the CotGS. The Crisis of Faith led to the establishment of the Ecclesiarchy to oversee the different sects of the Covenant and to insure a another Holy War could not occur and to crush those sects which have crossed the line of interpretation and drifted into the realm of heresy.
The Covenant of Deliverance
Like Judaism, but with less hope for a messiah and more God-Emperors
"Rikin, hear my call; I am the god of your ancestors. I am the god of Hiemos, the god of Ralshan, and the god of Nilehm. I have witnessed the affliction of my people and heard their cry of complaint against their slave masters, so I know well what they are suffering. Therefore, I have come down to rescue them from the hands of the Hessives, and lead them on the path to Scinfrae. So indeed the cry of the Scinfaxi has reached me, and I have truly noted the Hessives are oppressing them. I will send you to be their leader to lead my people, the Scinfaxi, out of enslavement." But Rikin said to god, "Who am I am that I should go to the Emperor and lead the Scinfaxi to freedom?" He answered, "You are the Scinfrien, sent by the gods to end this injustice against our people." - The Sherak’se Quarem Ne (Book of The Covenant)
The Covenant of Deliverance is the religion of the Scinfaxi. Among the key tenants of faith are: the recognition of the Emperor as the successor of the Great Scinfrien and believing that he was chosen by the chief deity of the Covenant, Babaar Ser'quaren or "The One Who Reigns Over All", to lead the Scinfaxi, the following of a strict moral code known as the Scinre Foundra which comprises more than half of theSherak'se Quarem Ne, daily prayer and mediation, and the belief in the afterlife of Serrat where those who have followed the Scinre Foundra and served the Emperor during their lifetimes live forever in eternal bliss. The Sherak'se Quarem Ne is the holy book of the Covenant. It was first written down about 2,500 Terran years ago, almost 450 after Scinfrae.
Major Deities of The Covenant
- Babaar Ser'quaren - Chief deity of The Covenant and the one who revealed himself to the Scinfrien. Archaeological evidence from the Hessive invasions shows that a deity name Abaar was being worshipped as early 3450 DHS (Deskrata Hessive Scinmon or Before the Enslavement of Scin) and suggests a link between this older god and Babaar. His name translates into Terran as “The One Who Reigns Over all.”
Heimal Donom – Scinfaxi god of war and writer of the Scinre Foundra . He gave the Scinfrien the Divine Command Structure in order to organize his forces; it remains in place today and is responsible for the fierce loyalty of the GSE’s armed forces.
Gisun Fillan – Goddess of art, beauty, and fertility. Gisun is honored before and during Ǜlirǻthe with services and sacrifices in order to attain a successful mating season.
Juhan Inghad – God of the sky and stars, and patron deity of the Conquest Fleet. In the Sherak’se Quarem Ne he dragged down several fleeing Hessive starships back to Scin so that he could use them as examples when he taught the Scinfaxi the secrets of space travel.
”No duty should be beyond us as we defend the Emperor’s canon. Every device will be device will employed and every skill exploited to the utmost. In these darkest of times, we must employ the darkest of the methods. We must be vigilant, strong, and unyielding lest we weaken our resolve and fracture the faith that bonds us together. We are the brothers and sisters of the great Ecclesiarchy, we will fight to the bitter end. We shall not let one traitor or heretic stay us from our holy duty. Be vigilant, be strong, the Emperor is with us all!”- Lord Inquisitor Dullarch
The Ecclesiarchy was formed after the Crisis of Faith to oversee the Covenant and to ensure a conflict on the scale of the Crisis could never happen again. Among its chief weapons are fear, surprise, and an almost fanatical devotion to the Emperor.
Scinfaxi FTL Technology
Fear the power of our generic wormholes!
Scinfaxi Warp Drives have changed very little since the Scinfaxi captured those first few Hessive starships. Warp Drives tear microscopic worm holes between one position in space and another. It then enlarges the wormhole by injecting it with negative energy produced by what Terrans call the Casmir Effect. Due to the nature of the calculations involved in the process and the extremely small margin of error, Scinfaxi ships use a limited AI to run the Drive. Although it is faster and generally safer than other modes of FTL travel accidents while warping are not unheard of. The most common type of incident is the AI making an error in its calculations in the warp course and a ship materializing inside of a star or planet.
Sectors
No, I haven't though of anything funny for this one yet.
The Scinfaxi Empire is divided into four sectors the Western Frontier, the Eastern Sector, the Core Worlds, and Home Sector. Home Sector is comprised of the Scin system and the systems of the former Hessive Empire. The Eastern is sector straddles a band of habitable systems know as Uligiha's Pearls after Empress Uligiha. The Core Worlds are by far the most developed worlds in the Empire. They are the main centers of industry and commerce. The Frontier sector is made up of newly settled worlds along the boundary of the Core Worlds. Once a Frontier world meets the Social and Economic requirements, they are allowed into the Core Worlds.

The Scinfaxi Conquest Fleet
General Information
The Scinfaxi Conquest Fleet, also known as the Scinfaxi Starfleet, Imperial Fleet, or Scinfaxi Space Service, is the naval branch of the armed forces of the Greater Scinfaxi Empire. The Imperial Navy was formed from the Scinfaxi Grand Navy during Emperor Kessel's Imperialization campaign during the rise of the Empire. A reorganized command structure, consisting of twelve Over Fleetlords, oversaw the rapid expansion of the fleet that had begun during the Scinfaxi-Hessive War.
Currently the Conquest Fleet is offensive arm of SSNC (Scinfaxi Strategic Naval Command), the sword to the shield that is the SUDF.

General Information
Forged out of what once the four sectors fleets, the Scinfaxi United Deterrence Fleet was formed to cut down on bureaucracy that the Emperor believed was leading to an unsatisfactory defense of the Empire in the event of an attack. Specific responsibilities of the Imperial Navy included defending Imperial citizens from space-based threats such as pirates, smugglers, and other armed governments, and overseeing commerce through customs and blockade operations.

”Who is to judge what is right and what is wrong? Great and powerful foes surround us; unknown miscreants gnaw at us from within. We are threatened with total annihilation. In days such as these we can afford no luxury of morality. Behind the bright light hide a multitude of horrors as would disgust and repel the most stout-hearted of males. So it is with determination and unflinching duty that we must face these vile and terrible things – for if not us, then who? The evils that we face have but one trait with which you need concern yourself – their undying contempt for the Emperor. It is your task to quell the rebellion they preach, and the only sure way is to destroy them utterly. Cast out the mutant, the traitor, the heretic! For every enemy without there are a hundred within. Beware their secret clans and hidden ways. The only cult we do not abhor is that of the Emperor!”~ Bejan Iningham, the Lord Commander Militant of the Imperial Guard
”The call to arms rings out across the dark plains of Scin. Its toll is answered by the iron-willed devotees who are themselves servants of a greater power. Who among the teeming billions of the enslaved masses of the Scinfaxi has the will to answer the call and march to war? Come forth you mighty warriors; gather under the bloodstained banners and grisly trophies of conquest! Join now the massed throng whose aim is to rid the Scinfaxi of their blighted fate. “-The Sherak’se Quarem Ne
General Information
The Scinfaxi Imperial Guard Corp is the land armed forces branch of the Commonwealth Joint Armed Forces. Despite much advancement in the use of starship warfare, the Empire continue to put huge investment in ground-based armed forces, and so have one of the largest and most advanced ground armies in the known galaxy.
The Divine Command Structure
The Divine Command Structure refers to the strict organizational and tactical guidelines given to the Scinfaxi by the god Heimal Donom in the divinely inspired Codex Tactinomica. Among the main points and arguments of the Codex is unquestioning loyalty to one’s superiors, an emphasis on diplomacy before any military action, and military training and service for every citizen at some point in their lives.

The Cadisi seh Ilotita is the section of the Imperial Guard that includes the Imperial Titans, the colossal walking fortresses. The Cadisi is divided into divisions, called "Legions" or "Orders": groupings of Titans such as the Fire Warriors legion or Fechin legion. Each Legion is headed by a Grandmaster.
Each Titan is manned by a crew consisting of a single Princeps in command, assisted by Moderator, Tactical Officer, Chief Engineer, an engineering crew, and Servitors. The number of each is dependent on the type of Titan.
A Princeps commands his Titan through the MIU link to the Titan's computer system controlling the Titan's movements through his thoughts. The Titan becomes an extension of him; when damaged, he feels pain, when victorious, he feels elation. This link grows so strong that his mental health will slowly deteriorate when unlinked. He can assume direct control of any system, though it is usually aiming and fire control that is taken. Regardless, Titans must have both Princeps and crew to function. The link in some cases gets so strong that the Princeps becomes physically-integrated into the Titan, and cannot be removed until he dies.

General Information
The Frontier Militia was formed in 2567 EHS (Erinham Hessive Scinmon) to confront the rising rebel and separatist groups in Frontier Sector. The Militia is an all volunteer force made up of citizens from Frontier Sector who wish to fight the groups threatening their worlds. The Militia uses a diffused command structure and tactics that break from the Codex Tactinomica. This break from the Codex is justified by the fact that the Militia is fighting unorganized guerilla movements instead an organized standard army.
