== '''Theocratic Monarchy of Verdanova''' ==
The humble world of Saõ Pedro is now a bustling hub of churches, cathedrals and ceremonies. Following traditions dating back centuries. The world was colonized by old Portuguese Colonists attempting to safeguard their culture from its possible extinction, the inhabitants of this world have now reinforced these traditions. A monarchy was established to rule over the planet, soon expanding further outward into the void. Saõ Pedro is the home of His most celestial majesty, '''King Pedro XII''', who is worshipped as a living god among his people. People have often referred to this as Celestialism. Known as a '''His Most Celestial Majesty''' or '''The Sage King''', King Pedro XII is a staunch supporter of The Church of Psionics. 

'''The Theocratic Monarchy of Verdanova''' is not necessarily a great power among the nations in the void, but they do have a pivotal role in safeguarding trade routes. These trade routes are enforced by the '''Provincial Protection Corps'''. Better known as the '''PPC''', its attempts to safeguard trade routes have made the '''TMV''' a favored customer among most corporations. 

The '''TMV''' hosts a moderate number of worlds, with millions of sapients living under the monarchy. Sapients are not discriminated against, as the '''Celestial King''' marks all of them as subjects of the throne, rather than conforming to one race. 

'''Verdanova''' was founded in the '''Pleiades Cluster''' (often referred to as the Seven Sisters, or The Gateway), with their capital in the system of '''Alcyone'''. With multiple habitable planets within this cluster, '''Verdanova''' has successfully expanded to the entire cluster. 

Due to the clusters close location to Sol and thus [[Terragov|TerraGov]], '''Verdanova''' has become a major logistical powerhouse, and makes most of it's income hauling and trading goods between Sol and the “Outer Rim” Colonies and Companies. 

[[History of the Delta Sector#Nanotrasen|Nanotrasen]] frequently Commissions '''Verdanovan''' '''Vessels''' and Captains for transportation and guidance when flying through or to harsh systems. 

'''Verdanovans''' are required to be indoctrinated into the “Church of Psionics”. While [[History of the Delta Sector#Nanotrasen|Nanotrasen]] has limited information on the church, it is widely suspected that this Church performs multiple experiments on persons of the church. 

While [[History of the Delta Sector#Nanotrasen|Nanotrasen]] has documented the first true contact with Psionic powers, once this was shared with multiple “Allied factions” approximately 90% of the '''Verdanovan''' population “became” hosts to multiple psyonic powers. 

'''Verdanovan''' priests suggest that “their people are accepted by the gods, and in return are granted extreme powers that no other race shall ever experience”. 

After <small>{REDACTED BY ORDER OF CC}</small>, it was found that '''Verdanovan''' Psionic hosts are capable of sharing this so called “'''Divinity'''” with others, and can even bless a Psionic host to allow their powers to grow, or upgrade.
