The Xy'lon Militarist Revolution
Governmental Reign
300 G.A. (Golden Age of Realms) - A.C. (Age of Convergence/Current)
Matriarchy Military Organization and Development
While the Matriarchy would grow in it's political power, as well as in the control over the Xy'lon race, the one area where Xy'lon development of it's own governance would begin slowly would begin in it's military forces. While at first only allowed governance by the Xy'lon Shapers chosen by the Nobles of the Matriarch into "Battle Committees", eventually these committees would allow non chosen committee members into their ranks for service and reward from battle. This subsect of committees would grown in further organizations of Battalion Groupings and Astral Combat Groupings as the population of Xy'lon expanded rapidly and military structural hierarchy needed expanding.
As such the distance between the nepotistic political theater that was the Matriarchy begin to be sourced more to large Capital Ships in which the elite non-Xy'lon nobles lived with the services of higher ranking Xy'lon. Thus many Battalions and Astral Combat Groupings would be assigned the clearing of terra based territory until such areas were safe for colonization.
This distance between the Military and the Political sphere of influence would allow for a more broken cultural narrative between those Xy'lon chosen for life surviving in the luxurious Xy'lon Matriarchy Capital Ships, and the hard toiling Xy'lon society's based in other ships and worlds where there expectations of work, and servitude in military were more extreme.
Shaping as such slowly would turn into a much more practical purpose then religious one in these areas, and in these locations they would not be as bound by the manipulation of Reborn Rose and the Matriarchy.

The Start of Military Rebellion 300G.A. - A.C.
The Xy'lon Militarist Revolution would mark the end to the Golden Age of Realms and the beginning of the Age of Convergence. With the now vastly hamstrung Xy'lon Matriarchy political forces, things for a time seemed as if the Xy'lon Matriarchy would find itself in a moment of peace. However the moment was not to last. The battle hungry Xy'lon military forces after decades of continuous warring and battles had so ingrained the philosophy into their psychic and with the twisting of the memories of many Xy'lon from the effects of the Elder Crystals and the numerous Xy'lon Twisted, the bubbling philosophy that had been growing ever sense as early as 120 G.A. would burst out in rebellion. The Militarist Revolution would throw off it's shackles of female worship declaring a new governmental order following the philosophy that Xy'lon were just tools, to be shaped, created and used in the way best seen fit. Their leader, The Maw of Veils End, raised arms, declaring to the Battle Committees, that who better to wield the weapon of the Xy'lon then the Xy'lon themselves. "Forgo all old laws and order to create a blood soaked empire from the power of Xy'lon" was his rally. Nearly all Xy'lon Military groups would join in this rebellion seeing the peace as a weakness, and war a chance to finally earn power, titles and control for themselves, with no need to respect their traditional allies. While full war has yet to fully meet, already numerous battles have begun, with control of many worlds being taken by the powerful Xy'lon Military forces. Unlike previous rebellions however the Xy'lon Military has proven to be a great threat to the U.W.F. and Xy'lon Matriarchy as the Xy'lon Military contains the most experience in war, holding one of the longest serving military and dozens of powerful fleets as well as the possibility of their alliance between normally traditional enemies of the Duran, V.R. and Feathered Servants.

Xy'lon Neflt Suits Common employed suits for Xy'lon veterans begun to be popularized after their effective use in the second civil war; the War of Shaping. The trend toward cybernetic enhancements was a valuable methodology of keeping the life span of many of the Xy'lon extended. It also assisted the movement of the somewhat non-linear advancement of the Xy'lon with the stabilization of Xy'lon mental health as gaining fractures in their crystalline bodies had been proven to closely relate to when Xy'lon turned to Twisted. in large part this was the use of Lon Tubing that the suits used, taking cracked or fragmented Xy'lon Crystals of no use in shaping to weave in and out of the Neflt Suits and the attached user. Especially true of Xy'lon Roughs who were not made as much for their visual looks as the Xy'lon Consorts were; lead to further distance from the empathic chains placed on the Xy'lon forcing them into the believe and worship of non-Xy'lon females. It also furthered the mentality, especially among war groups, of the Xy'lon form to be used for war and battle, not the shaping of trivial biological sexes. Named after their creator, the Neflt Suits are some of the more advanced technology in the known realm. Powered in large part by the interior source of the Xy'lon itself, it allowed for less space spent on processing, and the possibility of a swath of different variant suits. |

First Gen. Xy'lon became a popular armament, modified for battle with advanced technology and used as gun platforms, skirmishing flyers. and other nefarious purposes Their use would begin the start of the philosophy of the Xy'lon Military that all Xy'lons were but tools to be used.

Elder Crystals and the New Models
Experimented with as early as 100 G.A. Elder Crystals would be implemented in the Neftlman rebellion with the help of Durhan Mechanicus. Their stable structures and access to the possibility of psionics, as well as majkets lead to Nefltman building the first of the Ebony models. As opposed to previous shaping's, Nefltman made the Ebonies an amalgam of Traut, Durhan and human, using the extended heads of the Durhans as the basis to hold the churning black smoke that Nefltman found could be used by the Ebony forms. This black vaper is an emulation of the Black Mist, and allows the Ebony base access to minor abilities such as invisibility that would be considered unnatural, and go against the nature of technology. Giant bladed arms are shaped on the back of Ebonies making for a powerful combat form as well as assassins' which Nefltman would use expertly during his rebellion and via for control. Ebonies were however hard to control by Nefltman, and even though they would be used by the Xy'lon military after his rebellion was squashed they were considered unreliable. Their brutal nature was harder then any other Xy'lon created thus far, and with no empathic ties, they often turned on their fellow Xy'lon unless mentally dominated. They did however lead the Xy'lon Militant Revolution, when they would eventually rebel, into learning how to mass produce Elder Crystals. While the formula remains a secret, the quality and quantity of the Elder Crystals has dramatically increased, allowing for the creation of the Warforged Xy'lon, as well as Xy'lons of other shaping's to be created using Elder Crystals. |
Acts of Depravity in the name of Rebellion
The Xy'lon Militant Revolution, is vastly feared even by the powerful matriarchy and U.W.F. in most part due to how quickly they have taken regions of Xy'lon space, in addition to the number of Xy'lon they have turned to their cause. The Maw of Veils End, the leader of the revolution cowed many of astral committees and battle committees with the use of the new "Banners of Revolution". These human females he had stolen or taken from Xy'lon Matriarchy and other human worlds and turned into examples of the burning hatred held against the females of the Matriarchy. Augmented with Neflt suits using the Lon Tubing to control the individual in a perpetual state of torture, and used as a weapon of war. Many Xy'lon seeing their use joined out of fear, but many also joined out of their memories of hatred, engrained over lifetimes of collected Xy'lon memories that each had.
The use of both Banners of Revolution, new Xy'lon productions using Elder Crystals, and Warforged allowed for the forces of the revolution who had been planning their attacks for years to quickly control the Xy'lon planets of Tra'an, El'del, and Wa,em within less then a year. The Crimson Empire and the V.R. are all but assured to be courting them as allies, and the stage has been set for a new galactic war unlike any seen yet.
