The Congregation ruled most of the Cronus galaxy for 30,000 years, since the completion of their successful and bloody Crusade. If they could not convert your world through "reason" they would convert through force. As they were the first to discover FTL (faster than light) speeds, they had a trememndous advantage.
The Congregational government was a large and oppresive theocracy that was known to span an entire galaxy, though they claimed to control many others, as well as other dimensions, as was their divine right and gift.
It was not war nor revolution that caused the collapse of the Congregatoinal Government, but mismanagement and corruption. Rulers not only pilfered the working class, they took from each other and their banks, the government became so poor it could no longer afford a military nor police forces. Member planets simply declared independence and no voice could arise to challenge or douce the flames of freedom.
Planet Aantheon, the center of the Cronus Galaxy still remains the Capital of the Congregation, and many planets and systems around the core Congregation are believers and loyal to their God.
The pain is fresh. More history journals will be entered, though we long to forget their reign, we are dedicate to presenting History
Please take the time to tell us about the role of your planet under Congregation rule
