Azzilat

"Ah, Azzilat. Unlike Estron, which is our more troubled one, Azzilat is simply the one that tries to defy the Galactic Council purely because of the arrogance of its inhabitants."

- Acritus discussing Azzilat.

Azzilat is a rocky planet in the Xeler System. It is the 3rd planet in its solar system, and is composed primarily of a large series of mountain ranges. It is notable for having a ring around it, which has become one of its main symbols.

History
Azzilat was created in a solar nebula that created much of its solar system, including its moon and its rings.

Its rocky composition and mountainous landscape led to an early colonisation, which fed primarily from the patches of frozen water located on the surface, as well as from enormous bird creatures that inhabit the planet indigenously.

During the migration from Infina Magna to the universe at large, Azzilat became colonised by a number of former Combat Apprentices and Combat Masters who'd tried to make the art of combat their own, and trained their own apprentices. When the Azzilati Combat Masters, however, tried to justify a killing, the Combat Masters' League ousted the Azzilati government.

As a result, Azzilati society developed independently from most of the galaxy, as a primarily militarised and industrialised society working for the benefit of its warriors. The non-warrior population was either forced to work on the icy cold moon in the steel Protodermis forgeries, or became part of the civillian government.

Despite their relatively isolationist policies, the Azzilati's were technologically advanced and stood as a strong competitor against Dracia and its Planetary Alliance. After the Planetary Alliance-Azzilat War, in which the planet invaded and nearly took over Estron, a treaty was signed binding the two parties to non-violence and making Azzilat a member of the Planetary Alliance.

When Dracia fell, however, the Azzilati government were the first to jump ship and declare that the Planetary Alliance was "over", and that it was a "failure". Through aggressive political and economic persuasion, Azzilat entered into an agreement with Moni and Kubran, effectively creating an extended Azzilati empire with the other two planets under their wing. Using their combined defense forces, the Azzilati alliance's military forces were the primary forces preventing refugees from Dracia from entering into Azzilat, Kubran and Moni and receiving asylum, thereby worsening the Dracian Refugee Crisis.

The Estronian Civil War, however, threatened the stability of the Azzilati empire when resistance movements popped up left and right in Moni and Kubran. As a result, the Azzilati government handed control back to the respective planetary governments and instead signed a trade and mutual defense agreement with the two planets.

Though reluctant, the Azzilati's eventually became a member of the Galactic Council, becoming the final member to join before the Universal Paralysis occurred.
