	The Eternal has spread far and wide across the Orion Spur. It is largely considered the most influential organisation within Dionae society, having branched into three different Schools of Thought that each has its own interpretation of the Eternal; ranging from ingesting blood to augmenting oneself with biotechnology to transcend into a reality with the Eternal in accordance with their faith. ~~Othrodox~~ Eternal is the most followed branch of the religion, followed by the Iron Eternal, and lastly the Ichor Eternal. Operating as an interstellar theocracy, headed by the Omnivirate, they call for all Dionae to follow the Eternal, and pledge themselves to it. The future of the faith is uncertain as it continues to develop and evolve from its circumstances in the Orion Spur. '''The majority of Dionae are well acquainted with the Eternal, with it being a facet of life in most factions. It is advised for players to familiarize themselves with it.'''

	A ~~unique~~ race of fungoid creatures, the Dionae are a unique blend of biological and intellectual capabilities that distinguishes them from other known life within the Orion Spur, or the greater galaxy. With a physical resemblance to slugs, they have the ability to form "gestalts" which are complex, collective entities that enhance cognitive abilities and perform more intricate tasks than in their baseline forms. They may also exhibit sophisticated behaviour, showcasing a collective intelligence that evolves with the number of Dionae within a gestalt. Dionae have the ability to gain information through genetic absorption; meaning they are able to assimilate knowledge and skills from a genetic sample, allowing them to gain knowledge through biological interaction. This has allowed Dionae to rapidly adapt to the societies present within the Orion Spur. Dionae rely on radiotrophy, in which they derive energy for growth and sustenance from ionizing radiation. Dionae convert radiation into usable chemical energy, which in turn allows them to survive in otherwise inhospitable environments as long as radiation exists.

	Having survived in the shadows within the Vaurcae Hiveship of Titan Prime for over half a millennia, the Pests of Titan Prime are believed to have originated from a Voidic Cetus travelling amongst the stars before colliding with the Hiveship – with stories told from the survivors of the original encounter recalling flight across clouds of hydrogen, refuelling themselves to continue their own journey before being vacuumed into the hydrogen harvesters of Titan Prime. Trapping them for the next five hundred years. They were subjected to repeated onslaughts by the Vaurcae of Titan Prime, having been forced to continuously split and reform to ensure their survival. There is a deep-rooted fear of the Vaurcae for the majority of the Pests of Titan Prime, with the arrival of Titan Prime to Tau Ceti mostly allowing them to flee and begin their lives anew elsewhere. However, there still exists a minority that have chosen to forgive the Vaurcae, and assist them in integrating themselves within the Orion Spur.

			Within the deep frontier of the Nralakk Federation, the Covenant of Xrim exists in a precarious situation. Attempting to juggle their own internal strife, alongside ensuring amicable relations with its suzerain, Xrim's initial purpose significantly changed following the introduction of Dionae. With a history of religious conflict and a deep reverence to a now-departed artificial intelligence, Xrim has slowly begun to adapt to its new circumstances, at least in some regions of the planet, with others calling for an end to the Federation's control and subsequent return to their original roots. However, others call for a more systematic suppression of those calling for independence, seeking to align themselves closer to the Nralakk Federation so as to protect their positions of authority in its governance.

	The Narrows was a penal ship, an initial footstep for Hephaestus Industries into punitive labour. However, a cataclysmic uprising resulted in the destruction of the Narrows, with almost no survivors. The only survivors were Dionae who had been sentenced aboard the penal ship. Through repairing and expanding, Dionae would seek to claim the Narrows as their own, reclaiming the expanse of the stars as they drifted throughout it. It now serves as one of the largest 'independent' mining corporations within the [[Coalition of Colonies]], having significantly multiplied the vessel's previous mining abilities. Though loyalty to the Narrows is uncontested, there exists subsets that do not believe that the Narrows should associate with Hephaestus Industries, but instead to forge their own path. Dionae from the Narrows that find themselves on the SCCV Horizon are typically contracted by Hephaestus Industries unless one has sought fit to desert their origin.

	As Dionae have no known homeworld, Dionae tend to be very nomadic, spreading throughout the spur and into the nations of other species such as the Republic of Biesel, Nralakk Federation, and within the Moghes Wasteland. While none can claim to be their true homeworld, several planets and nations have been founded by Dionae notably the independent nations of the [[~~Epsilon Ursae Minoris\|Co-operative Territories of Epsilon Ursae Minoris~~]], a collection of smaller nations that have banded together on the planet of ~~EUM~~, as well as [[Xrim]], a planet found within the Nralakk Federation populated primarily by Dionae.		As Dionae have no known homeworld, Dionae tend to be very nomadic, spreading throughout the spur and into the nations of other species such as the Republic of Biesel, Nralakk Federation, and within the Moghes Wasteland. While none can claim to be their true homeworld, several planets and nations have been founded by Dionae notably the independent nations of the [[Hieroaetheria]], a collection of smaller nations that have banded together on the planet of Hieroaetheria, as well as [[Xrim]], a planet found within the Nralakk Federation populated primarily by Dionae.

	While not an independent nation per se, The Bieslesian Choir and the Eternal Temple, in general, can be considered an important Dionae faction, being an organization and cluster-based around the major Dionae religion, the Eternal. The Eternal believe that Dionae were made to ensure that all things born from the stars are returned to them. They believe that Dionae should spend their time gathering knowledge, experiences, and biomass so that one day a Titan form gestalt can be formed and Dionae can be a star once more. For more information on the Eternal, see: [[Dionae Culture#The_Eternal\|The Eternal]]		While not an independent nation per se, The Bieslesian Choir and the Eternal Temple, in general, can be considered an important Dionae faction, being an organization and cluster-based around the major Dionae religion, the Eternal.

	Each human nation treats Dionae in a slightly different way, with some allowing them to be ordinary citizens while others have them strictly banned. For more information on how each nation treats Dionae, see: [[Dionae Intergration\|Dionae Intergration.]] The human nation with by far the largest population of Dionae would be the [[Republic_of_Biesel\|Republic of Biesel.]] Dionae within the Republic are generally treated fairly, although there still tends to be some light discrimination such as a lower wage when compared to a human’s wage. The Republic and most human nations in general that allow Dionae require each nymph to be chipped to differentiate nymphs and to keep track of their splittings and mergings from different gestalts.

	Due to the long history between Dionae and Skrell, Dionae are treated extremely well in the Federation. However, This doesn’t mean there aren't’ drawbacks for Dionae in the Federation. Dionae are barred from holding certain jobs in the Federation, especially some high up in the government. Due to the inability for Dionae to use or interact with psionics in any way, Dionae tend to have issues with using some Skrell technology and appliances without assistance.
