The Great Huai, officially the Heavenly Kingdom of Great Huai (Huai: Rthoo Hway Mus Khlal [rtʰoː ɦʷaj mus kʰlal]; Modern Huai: Chruaa Hwai Muet Khlae [ʈ͡ʂʰuɑ ɦʷʌi mʉt̚ kʰlæ]) is an interstellar polity in the Settled Systems. It was founded in 982 AAI as the Kingdom of Huai on Hlendu by a group of Old Huai-speaking individuals. This polity embarked on a several centuries long effort to unite their homeworld, ultimately beginning their spaceward expansion near the end of the 1550s. The polity renamed itself to its current name in 1562 AAI to signify its new status as a spacefaring civilization.

The Great Huai's state religion is the Taad movement in the Sect of Maadmug, an extreme interpretation of the Tkhal, a series of scriptures written by Maadmug ('stellar saviour'), a semi-mythical figure that founded the sect.

Religion

The Sect of Maadmug, specifically the Taad movement, is the state religion of the Great Huai. Unlike mainstream Sect of Maadmug beliefs where it is simply believed that our universe is part of an endless cycle of rebirths and destruction, the Taad movement seeks active measures to hasten the destruction of the the current universe, seen as degenerate and corrupt, to bring about a new virgin universe.

Diplomacy

The Great Huai is considerably politically isolated in interstellar politics, as CASS does not recognize the government of the Great Huai due to its classification of the Taad movement as a cult.


The Great Huai actively supports various organizations designated as terrorist organizations across the Settled Systems, exporting Taad ideology to these groups. Taad ideology is also rising among practioners of the Sect of Maadmud even in non-Huai space within the last few decades.
