Divinarie

Important Note / Disclaimer:

The world of Centerra, as presented in this setting, explores the concept of the Force. Within Centerra, the various races and micro cultures/religions use terms like interconnections and celestial energies to refer to the Force. These terms are interchangeable with 'The Force,' and their usage is intended to align with the cultural beliefs and identity of each group. It is important to understand that in Centerra, the Force is often perceived as magical or mystical, similar in thematic nature to the culture and region of the Ewoks. The terms employed in this context serve as a representation of the cultural portrayal and belief in the Force within Centerra.

The world of Centerra, within this setting, is deeply influenced by the Force, and Force anomalies occur frequently. These anomalies are manifestations of the planet's strong connection to 'cosmic energies' or Force Energies. The Stellar Convergence shapes the cultures and beliefs of Centerra, as it highlights the delicate balance between the Force and mortal existence. Please note that the portrayal of these Force-related anomalies is for imaginative purposes within this fictional world.

The Divinarie hold strong religious beliefs in Astralisim, which equates to the concept of the Force being interconnected with all living things.

Their listed abilities are specific to those who are Force sensitive and represent the typical affinities of their race. Even those without strong Force sensitivity possess a unique presence that can be felt by both Force sensitives and non-Force sensitives.

The cultural and religious obsession of most races on this planet revolves around the skies due to the significant impact of Force anomalies on weather and atmospheric balance. Their isolation has led to their unique perceptions of the Force, often likening it to magical concepts. References to cosmic energies and similar terms are synonymous with the Force in their understanding.

    The Divinari have made groundbreaking advancements in harnessing the power of sentient crystals, incorporating them into their technology and spacefaring vessels. These unique crystals possess consciousness and a connection to the cosmic energies that permeate the universe.

    By carefully attuning the crystals to specific frequencies and energies, the Divinari have unlocked their extraordinary potential. Sentient crystals are integrated into various components of their technology, acting as amplifiers and conduits for cosmic energy. This integration enhances the performance and capabilities of their spacecraft, making them more resilient, efficient, and capable of tapping into cosmic forces.

They serve as catalysts for faster-than-light travel, facilitating smoother and safer journeys through the vastness of space.

    The sentient crystals also play a crucial role in the Divinari's advanced energy weapons systems. These crystals act as energy amplifiers, channeling cosmic energies into powerful beams or projectiles, capable of devastating precision and destructive force. Their integration allows for precise targeting, increased range, and heightened accuracy, giving the Divinari a significant advantage in space combat.

    Moreover, the Divinari have developed special interfaces that enable communication and interaction with the sentient crystals. Highly skilled Divinari pilots and engineers establish symbiotic connections with these crystals, forming a deep bond that allows for intuitive control and enhanced responsiveness of the technology they operate. Through this connection, they can tap into the crystal's consciousness, gaining insights, guidance, and an expanded understanding of the cosmic forces at play.

    The use of sentient crystals in Divinari technology is not limited to spacecraft. They are also employed in advanced communication devices, energy generation systems, and even personal accessories. Divinari individuals often wear intricate crystal-infused jewelry, which not only serves as adornments but also enhances their psychic attunement and connection to cosmic energies.

    The development and utilization of sentient crystals have elevated Divinari technology to new heights, granting them unparalleled capabilities in their space exploration and scientific endeavors.

    The Divinarie hold these celestial ancestors in high reverence, referring to them as the "Luminai," meaning the illuminated ones. They believe that the Luminai infused their celestial essence into the early Divinarie, awakening their angelic traits and imbuing them with a unique connection to the cosmos. However, the specifics of the Luminai's identity and the reason for their visitations remain shrouded in myth and speculation.

  • Rite of Passage: The transition from adolescence to adulthood is marked by a sacred rite of passage among the Divinarie. This ceremony, known as the "Celestial Convergence," symbolizes the young individual's readiness to embrace their divine potential and take on the responsibilities that come with adulthood.

As twilight blankets the land, the young Divinarie, adorned in ceremonial attire, gathers with their loved ones and esteemed members of the community. The grove is illuminated by soft, ethereal lights, creating an otherworldly ambiance.

In ancient times, the Divinarie were divided into various factions and clans, each vying for power and dominance.

The Sanguiorians were a fierce and aggressive species, driven by a constant desire for conquest and dominance.

Aelar embarked on a perilous journey to the Sanguiorian homelands, risking his own life to negotiate a peaceful resolution.

1.) Please link the Planet somewhere in the submission. You can put it in the "Links" section.

2.) Image Credit: What is "self input?" - Does that mean that you created this art? If so, just state "Created by Myself".

3.) Communication: What language do they speak? Galactic Basic? Centerran?

4.) Technology Level: What does "Information/Space" mean in terms of Star Wars?

5.) This submission also brings up one of my concerns from the Planet...I keep seeing this "celestial ancestry" but it reads more like God, Angels, and Demons versus being part of the Force. We don't have that. Are you referring to Star Wars Celestials? They are vastly different than the vaguely biblical sense I read here. So..To recap: This is Star Wars. All things must fit into the Star Wars Universe. So, things like "magical celestial powers" don't exist unless it involves the Force in some way. Please, think that over and try to clarify where you're going with it.

If it doesn't read like Star Wars I won't be able to approve it. (Ex. From the Codex Rules: All submissions need to conform to the general idea of Star Wars.)

Added Disclaimers-
Apologies for any confusion. The theme of the setting revolves around visual elements inspired by angels and daemons, but it is designed to fit cohesively within the Star Wars Universe.

The terminology of "stars," "celestial," and "heavens" heavily influences the mini planet setting, shaping its worldview.
In this setting, the powers exhibited by characters are essentially the Force. However, the perception of the Force is filtered through a lens of mysticism, which molds beliefs and cultures. Each race has its unique understanding and interpretation of how the Force operates, often using different names to refer to the concept.

Characters born into these cultures perceive the Force through their cultural perspective. They hold high regard for force-sensitive individuals from other planets who visit, recognizing their Force powers as aligned with their own cultural and religious values. In many cases, these races consider Force users and sensitives as being closer to their notion of "god."

I hope adding disclaimers that more clearly state these distinctions help.
