The Eight-Fold Empire
A consortium of the Eight Great Civilizations of the Silver Millennium which survived the Silence Event due to forewarnings by the Seers of Pluto. Shunting their people and technology into disconnected, labyrinthine pocket dimensions, they continued to grow and flourish for 10,000 year evolving culturally, technologically and physically. They were brought back to this dimension when Furuhata Motoki awoke as a sleeping member of the Moon Kingdom, flew into space, went to mars and found a contemporary mars sigil which Sailor Mars touched, awakening her connection with the contemporary Martian Civilization. All eight empires have cloaked themselves on the various planets, waiting to see what Earth has become over the last 10,000 years.
The planets of the Eight-Fold Empire are:
- The Iceworld - Mercury
- The Lightway - Venus - richest planet in the Consoirtium
- The Firestorm - Mars
- The Jungle. - Jupiter
- The Ruins - Saturn
- The Shaken Sky - Uranus
- The Flooded Realm - Neptune
- The Empty Quarter - Pluto - second richest planet in the Consortium
Mars and Mercury provide the weapons of war. Saturn (with help from Pluto) provides Intelligence. Venus and Pluto are the two principal suppliers of rare metals and funding. Uranus and Neptune keep to themselves, mainly. They merely trade for goods, their gases make for excellent fuel. It is said they trust none of the other Eightfold Governments
"There is a lie at the heart of things" -- Ancient Plutonian Prophesy
After Ambassador Venus was nearly killed by a strange assassin's bullet, Ambassador Mars was ready to declare war on the Earth, but relented after MAtsuo Shin vouched for the people of the HOTEL, giving them sixty days (until 9/12/15) to find the truth. So far it is suspected a traitor from the planetary govermnments 10,00 years ago failed to let the moon know the Silence Wave
