The Void

The Void is an extremist faux terrorist group centered around the bearer of the Gift of Dimensional Space Magic, Reven.

Origins
The Void centers around the Ideal, Reven's ethos and way of life - it dictates that utopia is something that can be pursued, and that the wasteful parts of the multiverse - that brought about by corruption, from greed and evil, and by those who refuse to fight that evil - should be cut off and pared to let the rest of the infinite expanse of life grow freely, without restraint. To do this, Reven wishes to become a god - a god with very specifically complete control of time and space, and with the Gift he possesses, he already controls space.

Followers
Followers flock to Reven sometimes out of desperation, looking for something or someone to believe in...out of fear of his power, and the power of the immense resources he holds...out of respect for Reven's forwardness, and honesty in what he pursues...or out of greed, vying for what the Void can grasp, and for Reven's own Gift, which transfers upon his death. Reven has a lot of people he keeps close that are just waiting for the right time to challenge him or assassinate him to claim the Gift...

He knows this fully. None have succeeded.

Politics
The hard part about fighting the Void is that they carry themselves as a legitimate planetary government, despite attacks that are bordering on war against the Marshalship. They have delegates and diplomats, and an intricate system of government like any other...all completely shifting back to Reven himself. He rules like an emperor, and with the Gift and his mind fully unlocked, he's ever aware.

The Void is not cruel to those under its sway, either. Planets and dimensions that pass the Void's critical judgement are supplied and cared for, its citizens treated well and educated, and displacees brought under the Void's curtain are protected against interdimensional threats by an iron fist.

Some would say, 'Where's the problem?'

Planetary Verdict
The problem is the Verdict, the Void's version of a planetary audit. Sometimes, a planet will be too war-worn, too polluted. Sometimes, its leylines are fractured, and the planet judged to be dying, or its citizens not worth its life.

Utilizing the Gift, Reven makes his decree known that the planet has failed, and within 24 hours, giving its occupants time to fight or flee...the planet's destroyed, using Reven's Gift of Dimensional Space Magic to implode it. He considers this necessary - both for the survival of a dimension (as a leyline infection is as lethal to a dimension as an infection to a body) and to give others adequate...motivation.

Reven's disdain for the Marshalship and CoRe have also caused several run-ins and skirmishes. Right now, there's been no call for war. The Marshalship is a police force, and CoRe has no standing army.

But anything could happen.

The Void (ship)
The Void itself is a massive, massive colony ship that houses several refugees, soldiers, ships, and serves as the seat of power for the faction. It also houses Reven's sentient capital ship, the Agamemnon. It's a placeholder name while I think of something cool tbh.
