Krafan Ascendency

The Krafan Ascendency was a human multi-system polity during the Halcyon Age, the Krafans would soon become famous for their absolute insistence of personal civility, a harsh class division, and a bloodthirstiness rivaling the Greenskins.

The Star Lords Legion discovered the Ascendency in 004.M31 during the Halcyon Age. The Star Lords made several attempts at diplomacy. With their mission focused on searching for the Emperor, they wished to waste little time in combat that they could avoid. Initial efforts appeared promising. After making extensive efforts to understand the Krafan social code, the Krafans allowed formal communication channels to be opened between the Lords and this lost branch of humanity.

A day later, war erupted when a Star Lord commander known as Vaalis accidentally insulted one of the Krafan's High Magistrates over the appearance of her hat. A duel of honour had been demanded. When Vaalis attempted to politely declined, he, unfortunately, added additional offense to the situation which rapidly spiraled away from efforts to control it. When he caved into the demand, his one-sided victory against the unaugmented further incited the Krafans against the 'barbarian giants'. As this all had occurred on the Krafan capital of Aryie, the Krafan Emperor had witnessed all these events, and it was he who declared war against the Star Lords.

Since the Krafans had withheld all potential information on the interstellar transit and other matters, the Star Lords could not simply withdraw without accomplishing their primary objective. Roughly one-fifth of the Legion became embroiled in the conflict as they attempted to continue their search and break Krafan resistance. [[Category:K]]
