Ascal Empire

In feminian times previous, a race of men known as the Ascal, hailing Ascalon, spread across the worlds of the galaxy. In those days their primary deity of veneration was Alte, a deity of heroism. The individual action and emphasis on elevated individual action of a transcendent character. The ascal people as a coherent group have long since broken, with remnants of their stock remaining in a sort of genetic belt from Ascalon to Estra, including large portions of the League and notably United Hampton and Gath-Sako.

The empire purportedly fell during the calamity, and a large number of the archeotechnic ruins found throughout the less populated places in the galaxy are attributed to it. It is said that League cities are built atop its ruins.

Few believe such a large empire could ever exist again and some even doubt the stories of it in the first place.
