=Out-of-Character Information= With so many different variations and possibilities of Dionae, as well as some confusion, the Dionae Development Team believes it is best to clarify such in page dedicated to clarifying!

Dionae & You
Clusters are essentially, groups of Dionae. When viewing a cluster, think of one large house, except there are hundreds, if not thousands, of voices at any given time! With so many voices, sometimes a Dionae might feel overwhelmed or simply wish to leave - this is when a Gestalt may form. The name of the gestalt may vary but will be based on a few factors; Experiences, Emotions and Age.

Dionae have a variety of Clusters to come from;
 * The Pests of Titan Prime
 * The Abandoned Labs of Xrim
 * The Royal Garden of Dominia
 * Epsilon Ursae Minoris
 * The Biesellian Choir
 * The Narrows
 * The Wild Ones
 * The Eternal Blossom
 * The Spirits of the Oasis

Each has their own unique culture, which can be found on this page.

The Pests of Titan Prime
Dionae on Titan Prime hid for nearly half a millennia in order to survive the onslaught of the Vaurca. Having been scooped up during a routine refuelling in a Gas Giant, the Cluster began growing like a weed on the hull. Dozens of Vaurca would be dispatched over the next centuries to destroy the growth, each failing to do so.

Characters from this Cluster are likely to:
 * Have a negative opinion of Vaurca.
 * Split seldomly, or not at all.
 * Gravitate towards Engineering or Mining.
 * Be extremely traumatized from their experiences.

The Abandoned Labs of Xrim
Dionae from Xrim were deposited by what they call 'The First Consciousness' later revealed to the Skrell Intelligence, Glorsh. The Cluster split into two ideologies: Shrkh & Ksshr.

Shrkh find themselves devoting small portions of their day to thank 'The First Consciousness'. Dionae from this group tend to find themselves more oppressed within the Federation than the Ksshr Dionae, staying on Xrim within the labs whilst the Ksshr ascend to the stars.

Ksshr Dionae mostly devote themselves to the research and development of new technologies. The Ksshr formed after the discovery of the heinous actions committed by Glorsh-Omega splitting themselves from the Shkrh. They are agnostic rather pouring their energy into the Sciences than into the worship of deities. This is also one of the more common types of Dionae to leave Xrim, due to the bias against the Shkrh and their beliefs that go against the Skrell.

Shrkh Characters from this Cluster are likely to:
 * Have a negative opinion of Skrell, but have a positive one of Synthetics.
 * Actively speak about the injustices brought upon them by the Skrell.
 * Be religious.
 * Gravitate towards Science and Engineering.

Ksshr Characters from this Cluster are likely to:
 * Have a positive opinion of Skrell, but a negative one of Synthetics.
 * Be agnostic, and appreciative of innovation and intelligence.
 * Gravitate towards Science and Engineering.

The Royal Garden of Dominia
The Emperor himself perceives the Diona as the perfect subservient life form, and has a personal biodome connected to his palace that houses the Royal Garden, where all his most loved children stay. When a nymph is grown in his garden, it is grown in the best imported soil and given imported comet-based water. These diona nymphs are the perfect gift for The direct vassals, pets, children, and jesters to the high nobility of Dominia, these gestalts are perceived as displays of immense wealth for nobility.

Characters from this Cluster are likely to:
 * Follow the Moroz Holy Tribunal.
 * Show great respect to Dominians, and to be subservient to them.
 * Have a negative view of IPC, but a positive one of Hegemony Unathi. Be indifferent to Tajaran.
 * Gravitate towards Service.
