Item 8395: SCP-8395
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-8395 is contained only from the “outside.” Inside the anomaly, no containment method is possible.
This occurs because the Foundation currently lacks the strength or resources to confront, subdue, threaten the natives, or destroy the anomaly.
The only viable measure is to infiltrate agents and spies through the portal, tasked with discreetly observing politics, media, and the knowledge that the inhabitants possess about humanity. All useful information must be collected.
If the safety or concealment of the agent is compromised, they must retreat immediately. If escape is impossible or too costly, the agent must commit suicide to avoid capture and interrogation by SCP-8395-AE.
The facility housing the anomaly, Area-7, must remain heavily fortified. The minimum contingent must be 10,000 men on 24/7 duty, supported by tanks, helicopters, artillery, missile systems, and other state-of-the-art vehicles. The goal is only to buy enough time to react and plan a global response: if SCP-8395 breaches containment, billions of people may die.
If SCP-8395-AE discovers the portal and manages to deploy troops to Earth, Protocol “Fall of the Nation” must be immediately initiated to ensure the survival of humanity. In this scenario, the Foundation will enter full martial law, all agents and soldiers must abandon their posts (even leaving dangerous entities unmonitored) and mobilize for open war against SCP-8395-AE.
Foundation forces will not be able to resist for long on their own, making military support from [REDACTED] nations indispensable. Afterwards, all of humanity will have to be mobilized for total war.
The worst outcome would be inevitable: one of the greatest failures of the Foundation, marked as a permanent scar in human history.
Description: SCP-8395 is a wormhole of unknown origin, located in [REDACTED]. It connects Earth to a parallel dimension, is approximately 500 meters in diameter, and is fixed to the ground. The anomaly remains constantly open, appearing to have existed for millions of years—although it is unknown whether it has always been in its current location.
Visual observation of SCP-8395 is equivalent to watching a “window” into the other side. Research suggests that the portal may have accompanied tectonic movements over hundreds of millions of years.
The world connected by SCP-8395 was originally sterile, but around 260 million years ago, it was colonized by terrestrial organisms that became isolated and followed a different evolutionary path. The inhabitants call this dimension Creezaiv (“Rock” in their language).
The society of Creezaiv, like that of Earth, is divided into multiple ethnic groups and nation-states with diverse cultures and ideologies. These nation-states are constantly at war with each other, and Creezaiv is far more affected by warfare than Earth. Some of these states are cooperative toward the Foundation for one reason or another, while others represent a serious threat to human survival and to the Foundation itself.
There are millions of unique species in Creezaiv, all originating from Earth. Some are very similar to Earth’s, while others belong to entirely different and divergent classes and orders.
It is widely debated among Foundation biologists and anthropologists whether these species can be considered anomalous, since there is nothing inherently anomalous or supernatural about them.
Today, the Foundation classifies all native species of Creezaiv as non-anomalous, with the only anomaly being the portal and all the beasts employed by the Commonwealth.
Creezaiv is quite similar to Earth: it orbits its star in 421 days and its day lasts 29 hours. Like Earth, Creezaiv has a multitude of rivers and unique biomes, although colder biomes do not exist even at the poles. All of this is covered by a single ocean and contains three continents—Liorta, Aukeya, and Pilgram—along with a vast multitude of archipelagos and islands.
One difference from Earth is that only some parts of the dimension receive sunlight from an red star, called Gtraa by the natives (meaning “glow”), while the rest lies within an immensely vast underground network. A large portion of Creezaiv’s ocean is also located beneath the surface.
Creezaiv’s soil contains more phosphorite and nitrogen than Earth’s, making it more fertile and allowing the growth of large fungi and plants even without sunlight.
In this unique environment, various species evolved in adaptation—all of them having migrated through the portal millions of years ago.
The flora consists mostly of roots and fungi, although trees and flowers still exist. Some produce vitamin D, making them vital for animals and populations in regions without sunlight. In addition, Creezaiv has high oxygen levels, increasing the size of its fauna. These vary greatly, with some belonging to familiar classes native to Earth, such as reptiles, mammals, arthropods, mollusks, amphibians, and birds. However, new classes also emerged, such as the Harghas (descendants of mammals), Kurosahos (descendants of reptiles), Taahertá (descendants of insects), and others.
Many of these animals were domesticated by the natives for a multitude of reasons, whether for food, defense, or simply companionship. Above all, Creezaiv produced one intelligent and sentient species.
SCP-8395-A, or in their language “Chiedimas” (a word from an ancient language of a civilization that once ruled the dimension but collapsed thousands of years ago—“chie” meaning “people” and “dimas” meaning “us” or “our,” thus “chiedimas” means “our people”), are also called simply “chiees,” with the scientific name Geistus arthropodibus. They are a species of intelligent, sapient, bipedal arthropods. Tests and investigations of their genome and DNA, along with fossil record research, revealed that the Chiees evolved from ants or another hymenopteran that migrated through the portal, although their appearance resembles moths.
It is unknown how their ancestors ceased to be eusocial millions of years ago and instead became independent pack animals, no longer dependent on a single queen for reproduction. They originated on the continent of Liorta.
They are somewhat similar to humans: bipedal, walking on two legs and having two arms. In addition, they have small claws on their chest with no clear practical use, a vestigial trait that their species never fully lost.
On average, they are a few dozen centimeters taller than humans. Their neck, shoulders, and head are covered in hair and plumage that varies in color depending on ethnic group or genetics. Plumage can cover the entire body, but this is generally viewed as a lack of care or hygiene. They have four eyes, small vestigial horns with small with little functional use, an unsegmented chitinous exoskeleton, a softer secondary exoskeleton beneath it, and a proto-internal skeleton. Like humans, they have thumbs and four-fingered hands, and their feet have three toes.
Due to migration and adaptation, the chiedimas, like humans, also developed phenotypes after traits accumulated generation after generation.
The original phenotype is called Night-Plated, with a dark purple coloration with red pigments.
When the chiedimas reached regions with sunlight, their skin tone changed, losing the purple aspects and becoming more yellow—these are called Sun-Chasers.
In more arid regions, they became completely albino to better camouflage in the vast salt desert—these are called Arids.
Those who migrated to islands took on a greenish tone to better blend with vegetation—these are called Islanders.
Those in volcanic areas developed a red color and are known as Volcanics.
Those who never received sunlight became entirely black—these are called Deep-Kin.
There are no differences beyond coloration, which makes them more homogeneous than humans. While human phenotypes often carry physical traits (such as slanted eyes, for example), the chiedimas do not have any trait consistently associated with a specific phenotype.
The main difference in physical capabilities between humans and chiedimas is resilience. Chiedima resilience is superhuman; their chitin is very hard, serving as natural armor. Shots aimed at fortified regions will simply ricochet, and their pain response is less alarming, allowing them to fight longer before collapsing from shock.
However, humans can sweat and are far more athletic than chiedimas, while a chiedima must stop to pant, humans can continue without stopping, as sweat provides much faster and more efficient thermoregulation.
Despite being armored and larger, a chiedima is not stronger than a human. Human muscle fibers are more developed and stronger, meaning a human can easily overpower a chiedima.
The brain of the chiedimas is almost identical to that of humans, but with critical differences.
The greatest contrast is the absence of the concept of gender or sexual pleasure: their sexual chromosomes (XY) disappeared and were replaced by a Z chromosome. In other words, a chiedima is neither male nor female, yet they still reproduce asexually.
As a result, concepts such as romance, gender, or the nuclear family never developed or became completely different from the usual meaning. Non-platonic relationships are taboo and marginalized in almost all chiee cultures, making their society profoundly alien and difficult for humans to assimilate.
Discovery and Contact
SCP-8395 was first discovered by local farmers on [REDACTED] in 1964. The Foundation quickly took control of the situation, relocated the farmers, and established an outpost in the area, which would later become Area-7. From there, teams were deployed to cross the portal.
The first team consisted of dozens of Class-D personnel equipped with radios and basic gear. They managed to explore dozens upon dozens of kilometers, documenting the flora and fauna of Liorta, while sustaining some casualties from local predators. But this was child’s play compared to what came next: the D-Class were ambushed by natives. They were massacred by a small squad of only four SCP-8395-A instances, armed with rifles. The entire event was overheard via radio, alerting the Foundation that the portal was not only inhabited, but that its natives were aggressive and not human. This marked the Foundation’s first contact with an aggressive group of chiees, later designated as SCP-8395-AE.
The next expedition, carried out by Task Force Saci II only a few days later, was better prepared for the worst. When they returned to the site of the ambush, however, the area was completely cleared—no bodies, no blood, not even spent shell casings remained. Saci had little time to theorize what had happened, the Foundation was not the only group sending teams to investigate. A much larger, better-trained unit, bearing distinct symbols and armor, attacked Saci, during the clash, large green creatures equipped with rocket launchers joined the enemy ranks, these were designated SCP-8395-B. The creatures inflicted massive casualties on Saci, but thanks to superior numbers and the use of grenades, the Foundation managed to bring down the 8395-B instances. With their fall, the entire AR force collapsed, though they fought to the last bullet.
It was a pyrrhic victory, but a victory nonetheless. The Foundation not only secured corpses and equipment, but also managed to capture five individuals. All were wounded and designated 8395-A1 through A5, then transferred to a temporary base within SCP-8395. The prisoners showed no fear, remaining calm at all times.
During an interrogation with SCP-8395-A3, signs and drawings were used to attempt communication. Since the Foundation did not understand their language, gestures resembling human actions were tested, hoping that some overlap might exist across dimensions. For hours, A-3 said nothing, simply staring at the interrogators. Then they removed theirs helmet, seeming as if they were finally going to respond. Instead, they calmly walked to the wall and smashed their head against it with such force that his skull burst, covering the cell in blood. Following this incident, the prisoners were monitored constantly and relocated to padded asylum-style cells to prevent further events.
Interrogations proved entirely unproductive. SCP-8395-A1 died from a leg infection. SCP-8395-A4 was so gravely injured they could neither speak nor move his arms. The remaining two instances stayed silent, refusing to eat or drink even while severely malnourished and dehydrated—an act requiring extraordinary self-control. Guards were forced to feed them manually. They were not silent because they could not respond, nor because they did not understand. They were silent because they chose to be.
Among the recovered equipment were fragments of text and a small letter found in a soldier’s pocket. The words were written in an unknown alphabet and language. Determined to extract meaning, the Foundation employed SCP-2128. Hundreds of Class-D personnel were sacrificed in controlled burns while researchers tested phrases such as “The emblem on the armor means strength” or “The second word of the letter means love.” Dozens died just to confirm a single word or letter. After long trial and error, scientists managed to translate a phrase from the emblem: “DU Trrsima.”
Further analysis revealed that Trrsima was merely a name, with little significance beyond its first four letters. Medical supplies indicated that Trrs meant “organ.” DU could not be translated. After the deaths of 109 Class-D personnel, researchers concluded that D, and U likely had no equivalent in the alien language. They may have been an approximation, or perhaps a single alien glyph was being interpreted as a fusion of those three letters.
The letter itself was nearly fully translated. It appeared to be a set of orders:
“Operation Granite Fall.
Begin the search in the valley; the anomalies came from the south. They are unlikely to be alone.
The target is the nest, ship, portal, or whatever medium brought them here. If an instance of the anomaly is found, it must be neutralized and displayed. If one survives the encounter, it is the responsibility of Syltar-91 to handle it and transport it to the nearest outpost. Good luck.
Body un autlax unn pirhae Nation.
~Officer Bharrs.”
The unknown words between “body” and “nation” were only partially approximated based on other tests. Still, the letter revealed much: SCP-8395-AR was not merely a rogue unit but a structured army with hierarchy and allegiance to a Nation.
Soon after, Saci and the entire Foundation outpost inside SCP-8395 went dark. No messages were received. It became clear that SCP-8395-AR was responsible. Both missions had ended in heavy failure and loss, leaving the O5 Council reluctant to send more teams. With 8395-AR actively hunting Foundation forces, only small observation efforts were authorized. That is, until Saci reestablished contact by radio.
Saci reported that they had indeed been attacked and massacred by AR. Part of their force was captured, their camp dismantled. Yet during their transfer to an AR facility, the caravan was ambushed by another group of 8395-A. These assailants attacked AR with overwhelming fury, as if in vengeance. AR was caught off-guard and annihilated. As AG forces finished their slaughter, some soldiers entered the caravan, found the Foundation agents, freed them, and escorted them to their base.
This new faction, designated SCP-8395-AG, faced the same problem the Foundation had: no shared language. In a symbolic gesture, one AG soldier retrieved an AR armor piece, displayed its insignia, then shattered it with a knife in front of the agents. One Foundation operative then took the knife and struck the broken emblem again. Silence followed—but both sides understood: they shared the same enemy. An alliance between Task Force Saci and AG was formed.
AG also revealed they had salvaged the Foundation’s radio from the destroyed caravan. Together with Saci, they repaired it and re-established contact with the rest of the Foundation. Though wary of this new group, the Foundation recognized that AG offered the best chance of understanding the anomaly. For months, information was exchanged. During this period, AG instances closely observed radio transmissions and made gestures, such as drawing two hills connected by lines with an X. Foundation agents misinterpreted this, unsure if AG wanted them to end transmissions. One agent drew his own sketch, prompting an AG instance to shake its head in a strange dance. Unsure whether this meant yes or no, the agents displayed confusion. The AG instances then gave a thumbs up—a gesture they had apparently learned by observing humans.
Further cultural misunderstandings transpired. A smile, revealing teeth, was misconstrued as a threat. Instructing AG in the intricacies of Uno culminated in pandemonium when they misinterpreted the silence rule, persistently drawing the entire deck, as the gesture of silence held an antithetical connotation for chietaty. On one occasion, an instance offered a candy to an agent, which was intended for tongue placement rather than consumption; the agent narrowly avoided asphyxiation. Consequently, AG prohibited any further candy-sharing. An instance of AG endeavored to demonstrate respect by pressing mouths together—akin to a kiss. The human agent rebuffed this gesture, inadvertently causing profound offense to the instance. Subsequent explanations only served to exacerbate the confusion, as chiees possessed no understanding of romantic or sexual intimacy. The instance eventually retorted, “It would have been simpler if you had merely stated it was unhygienic.”
These incidents convinced both sides to focus on breaking the language barrier. Sessions began where agents pointed to their mouths, then to AG’s mouths, signaling spoken exchange. With anthropologists and linguists assisting from the Foundation’s side, progress accelerated. Both sides began learning words, then phrases, each breakthrough celebrated. Eventually, one AG member, designated AG-45, managed to learn basic English and participated in the first recorded radio interview.
Interview Log 8395-1
Researcher: It took three months, but finally one instance of SCP-8395-A has learned English. Could you identify yourself?
AG-45: My name is Therfu Vatyak, I’m leader of the 2TH Ranger Corp of the Ishpla people. I led the raid on the caravan that was holding your soldiers.
Researcher: Good, Therfu. Now tell me what you and your troop were doing prior to the attack.
AG-45: We were observing and following the enemy for weeks. Day and night, watching the Ruuboz patrol the borders. The attack on your base was hasty, unplanned. They were mobilized in burning time.
Researcher: Could you tell me who ordered you to stalk the unit, and where you were during the raid?
AG-45: Officer Pallone of the Holding Army. We watched them from the cliffs. First, we saw a pass perfect for an ambush, but they chose to go deeper into the valley. Soon, we saw a base alone on a hill. At first, we thought it was just a small house. It was far away, out in the open, so we chose to wait until the Ruuboz made a mistake.
Researcher: And how did you and your team react when you realized the base was controlled by us?
AG-45: Surprised. Intrigued. Of course, there were always rumors about Trrsima dealing with strange things—things that couldn’t be explained. But I thought those were just conspiracy tales to explain what a hidden organization was doing. When I was a larva, there were only stories about Outpost Seventeen, where they supposedly imprisoned aliens and ghosts. I never believed it. So you can imagine my face when I saw the base full of weird, hairless ape-people. It was surreal. I almost didn’t notice the slaughter below. We saw the aliens clearly, thrown out and trapped like animals, while soldiers searched and stole everything of value. That sight was common enough—except for the ape aliens.
Researcher: Interesting. What was your thought process after finishing the caravan?
AG-45: After the raid we gathered new weapons and realized the aliens were still alive. At first, we debated—some said to free them, others to kill them to draw suspicion. In the end we chose to bring them back to camp so the officer could decide. That’s how we became allies. We began working together. One soldier almost died after I gave him a candy. We tried to tell you not to call reinforcements, so the Ruuboz wouldn’t wipe us out. I barely learned an alien language and now I’m talking to you.
Researcher: Excellent. Now let’s stop talking about you. Tell me about SCP-8395-AG—your people.
AG-45: It’s… extensive. Thousands of years of history before we reached here. I don’t know much of it; I never studied because of the war. My job isn’t to study dead people. My job is to make people dead. Later, you can ask our professors once they learn your language.
Researcher: No, tell me what you do know—even if shallow or broken.
AG-45: We are not from here. We came from below, from the underground. Far deeper than I am now. Stone is divided into layers: the surface, high alveolus, grand alveolus, inner alveolus, and the carbon zone. We came from the inner one. Right now I am what, eight kilometers from the surface, at the edge of the high alveolus. The land we migrated from is two hundred kilometers down.
Researcher: When did this migration take place?
AG-45: Thousands of years ago. The first Ishplas didn’t even believe in the sun. We abandoned our cousins in the carbon zone to live on the surface. We built this land, conquered it, made it ours. This land is ours and always will be.
Researcher: Why did you migrate? Was it heat? Scarcity of food?
AG-45: From what I heard, it was because our cousins were too dumb. I don’t believe that, but I’m a layman. We can’t even ask them now—it’s lost to history.
Researcher: What happened?
AG-45: They drowned. An entire ocean fell on them. That same catastrophe pushed us into a dark age. We starved, resources were gone, and raiders and barbarians rose up. They were starving too. That’s why it was called the Starve War. It was hard, but we defeated them and stood again. More determined to defend the legacy of our ancestors than ever. Then the Commonwealth came. They ravaged our land, stripped us of any normalcy. When everyone attacked them, we joined in, and now we are mortal enemies. I do not know why they do this. We just act.
Researcher: You don’t know much about your own past, but what do you know about AE?
AG-45: Who?
Researcher: I believe you call them ”the Commonwealth”.
AG-45: Mey’klor? They are plague. They are locusts. They do not speak, they only kill. From what I know, they appeared from nowhere and hated us for counter-attacking. I can guess some things: there’s always a focus on six. Six arms, six weapons, six eyes. Their posters are full of it. Maybe they have six leaders. Or some other shit.
Researcher: That’s all you know?
AG-45: No. Sometimes they capture people and bring them to their camps. There, the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen happen. I don’t even want to describe it. They are divided into colonies and core. The colonies do everything the core doesn't care. Beware of the core. They’re like an ocean: the deeper you go, the worse it gets. I only put my feet in the water, and I saw things that didn’t even seem real. I don’t want to know what horrors the core holds.
(AG-45 begins trembling)
Researcher: What did you see?
AG-45: …
(AG-45 stares at the wall, wide-eyed, letting their paste ration fall to the floor.)
Researcher: Mx. Therfu?
AG-45: …
Researcher: Are you alright?
AG-45: …
Researcher: … I see. You don’t want to talk about this. Let’s end the interview here. We can restart later.
This was the first interview with SCP-8395. The interview revealed significant details. However, as other instances of SCP-8395-AG began to learn English fluently, books and recordings were shared with the Foundation instead of direct interviews, providing more intelligence about SCP-8395. This included the true names of SCP-AE and SCP-AR: the Cohort of the Mey’klor Commonwealth and the Organ of Reliable Intelligence and Logistics. Further information confirmed that AR is not an independent faction, but one of six “arms.” Each arm has its own function and task, though AG scholars did not know what role Trrsima played.
Based on its actions, its secrecy, and its tendency to refer to the Foundation itself as “the anomaly,” it is evident that SCP-8395-AR shares our same mission: to Secure, Contain, and Protect the anomalies that threaten its species.
The autopsy of SCP-8395-B was finally concluded, confirming anomalous properties within the entity.
SCP-8395-B is one of the anomalies weaponized by the Commonwealth. SCP-8395-AR, functioning as a counterpart to the Foundation, demonstrates no hesitation in exploiting anomalies for its own military gain, showing loyalty only to a single nation.
There is no certainty that AR does not possess anomalies of Keter or even Thaumiel classification. Should such entities be unleashed, the consequences for humanity would be catastrophic. The enemy will not hesitate, nor show mercy, in using them against us.
This revelation forced a complete reassessment of containment protocols regarding SCP-8395. The Foundation resolved to remain as discreet as possible, concealing the portal’s location at all costs. Unlike AR, we do not have the luxury of recklessness.
The first directive was the establishment of a secure route between the portal and AG. Both Foundation and Ishpla forces dispatched soldiers to clear, patrol, and fortify the path. Fortunately, no signs of AE or AR activity were encountered, suggesting they had regrouped after their prior defeats. The primary threats came from Liorta’s predators, which, while dangerous, were easily neutralized. With the path secure, a steady connection between the Foundation and AG was achieved, allowing for reinforcements and the construction of a defensive line.
This progress was achieved without drawing the attention of the Community, paving the way for the first espionage mission in SCP-8395’s history. With the assistance of Ishpla cartography, Agent 01-8395-HJ was deployed to infiltrate a frontier outpost. She maintained direct text-based communication with the Foundation throughout the mission.
AG provided valuable intelligence on an abandoned Community project: an extensive train and transport system originally designed along the ceilings of subterranean tunnels. Excavation along the floors proved too difficult due to water and air pockets, but the ceiling design caused frequent accidents when trains fell. Eventually, the project was abandoned and rebuilt along the bedrock, leaving the original “upper path” forgotten. This abandoned line, however, still stretched deep into Community territory, reaching even the National Nucleus, the capital.
The so-called “upper path” proved ideal for covert movement within Makerian territory. Agent 01 used it to approach what was believed to be the outpost mentioned in intercepted communications.
What she discovered was horrifying. The following are her transcribed reports, sent during the infiltration.
6:10 – 7/19/1962
“Just a glance from afar shows this post was built at the end of a railway line. This is literally the frontier.”
6:31 – 7/19/1962
“I finally got close. It will take several transmissions to describe everything I’ve seen.”
6:33 – 7/19/1962
“Firstly i am not the first human to set foot here. Remember the Class-Ds sent in early reconnaissance? I didn’t either—but I found them. Dozens. Alive.”
6:40 – 7/19/1962
“They must have wanted the opposite, VERY MUCH. They're either imprisoned, scarred, or used as labor. AKA slavery. If I'm allowed to suspect it, they were interrogated, and when they had nothing else to say, they decided to suck every last resource they could get. It coincides with what Ag-45 said about how merciless they are.”
6:42 – 7/19/1962
“Speaking of the chiedimas, I observed both AE and AR personnel, and SCP 8395-AE doesn't seem to discriminate against species, as it's not just humans in this situation; there are also chiedimas against them. I counted 3 purple ones, 2 black ones, 4 yellow ones, and 9 white ones. Unfortunately for AR, even if they knew the human language, the D-class were sedated before entering the anomaly. I applied it to one, all to prevent they from escaping. I hope they use the information from a bunch of sickos wisely.
6:44 – 7/19/1962
“This doesn't seem like the final destination. It's not a real prison, there´s just a cell to hold the prisioners. Since AR is just a foundation 2.0, the train must lead to other facilities. This outpost must be just for collecting new lunches for the heavy-class prisoners. Besides, it's hard to see much from the outside. I should go in there. I'm on the amnesiac they gave me. The stuff is so strong that just one pill will make me forget my name. If I don't answer, expect the worst.”
7:10 – 7/19/1962
“01 here. Found an open window. Someone’s getting fired for this.”
7:53 – 7/19/1962
“It’s a barracks. About twenty-four lockers. I found a duty roster too. AE is very organized shifts, techniques, routines, everything. They must use some artificial method to track time underground. Days here are defined by work cycles, not sunlight. I came at the perfect moment—this is leisure hour, the barracks are nearly empty. The roster also lists train schedules, confirming my suspicion: this place is only a transfer point. I’ll search further before forcing the lockers.”
8:00 – 7/19/1962
“Found a room. Just a table, chairs, and a trash bin. The bin is full of teeth. Both human and SCP-8395-A. Interrogation room. Will keep looking.”
8:33 – 7/19/1962
“The bin wasn’t just teeth. Fingers. Three tongues—one human. An eyeball. Worst of all, three human testicles mixed with scraps of flesh and hair. The Class-Ds have been here four months. Four months of this. Compared to this, the Foundation is a paradise. If they catch me, I’ll skip the amnestic and use the bullet instead.”
8:20 – 7/19/1962
“Peered through a vent into the kitchen. SCP-8395-B instances aren’t just soldiers—they work too. One was chopping meat and humming. It might have been almost cute if it wasn’t a chieedima’s corpse. Even an AE soldier seemed disgusted, asking if their meals had been human flesh. The B insisted no, but the AE called AR lunatics, saying they belonged in asylums. AR clearly has no issue with cannibalism. AE does.”
8:25 – 7/19/1962
“There was a window that gave a clear view of the courtyard, but what a hellish place! There's a cage labeled "Junior" with an animal in the center that looks like a dinosaur, but with feathers. Whether it's an anomaly or a natural animal, I don't know, but it's painted blood, with bones and skulls all over the room. The prisoners don't seem to do heavy labor or maintenance; the Bs do that. What the prisoners are being forced to do is clean the yard, dig graves for the lucky ones, gather things, and, of course, be food for Junior. He's actually the "main attraction," and I saw the show. A guard approached a prisoner and gave him an order. He was too far away for me to hear, but the poor guy's look of despair was obvious. The guard just pointed his gun at him, and he slowly entered the cage, his hands shaking. I didn't imagine Junior would be so big. He came out of the darkness and was the size of a bus. He lunged, spun, and threw his legs over the fence. The bastards were still laughing and forced the other prisoners to take what was left of their comrade and bury him. I'm going back to the barracks and getting out of here..”
8:30 – 7/19/1962
“Someone opened the door. They’re in the room.”
8:31 – 7/19/1962
“It’s the same soldier as before. He’s unarmed. My weapon’s ready. If this is the end—tell my family I love them.”
8:37 – 7/19/1962
“I did it! The idiot took off his helmet when he came in, that was his last mistake, he turned around and found himself with a pistol in his forehead, it couldn't even react before all went black, I'm alive!.”
8:40 – 7/19/1962
“The silencer was vital here. I carried the soldier's body into the darkness and checked his documents. For starters, he wasn't an ordinary soldier; he was the director himself. His name was Mhxa. I also found his dog tag, which is "67R301-W1T4." I also found the key to his locker. The number 5 is marked on the keychain, so that's his locker. This is it, after it I'm getting out of this hell.”
9:46 – 7/19/1962
“Good heavens, our lord Mhxa was apparently not a flower to smell. They had 43 letters hidden in the locker. Apparently, to leave the Gybra station, you need the director's permission. The letters mention that they knew going to this station would be a bad idea, leading me to theorize that Gybra is considered the worst facility to be stationed in. It's completely isolated and precarious. Many soldiers have simply disappeared without a trace. All the letters are either from family members asking what happened to their loved ones or letters from the soldiers themselves. Apparently, they don't know that the letters are taken and they are isolated from the rest of the world. There's a series of disappearances here, and Mrxe is involved. What happened to the soldiers? It wasn't the prisoners, that's for sure. The veterans at this post are so cartoonishly evil that I have no doubt that some of the bones in the cage belong to the missing. Maybe it's punishment, they discovered something they shouldn't have, or just for sport. Considering the presence of AR here, they may also be responsible. After the interview, I asked Therfu why they call them "ruuboz." They said it's because they act like completely cold and calculating robots. Their intel is real. They were the only ones who didn't react to the execution. They speak in a completely robotic and disciplined way, and they still have no problem committing cannibalism. There's something wrong with them, very wrong.”

“Speaking of what was in the locker, besides the letters, there's a notebook talking about the same shit as the table—some kind of protein or chocolate that i will not try . And the worst of all. I found a necklace made of severed fingers. They shouldn't wear this. It's impossible. The fingers are both human and Chiedima. I won't confirm that the prisoners are missing a finger, but this maniac rips them off and collects them like a trophy. I don't even want to look at it. It's one thing to hate and abuse your prisoners, but making a necklace out of them is simply sickening. I can't take it anymore. I'm getting out of here. Lunch is already starting, so I'm not safe here anymore. I don't want to become another finger in this necklace. If you want my opinion on what to do, it would be to get a task force and raze this station to the ground until only ashes remain. I'm out of here.”
Thus ended the first investigation of Gybra. The site appears to function less as a prison and more as an interrogation and extermination center. What began as systematic questioning devolved into sadism, cruelty feeding upon itself until the staff reveled in it. History has seen such transformations before—soldiers numbed to atrocity until it becomes their nature.
Agent 01 disobeyed direct orders and disappeared for four days following extraction. When she returned, she was shaken beyond recognition. As punishment, her security clearance level was reduced.
In the following months, Foundation expeditions advanced deeper into SCP-8395, establishing contact with other factions such as AF, AT, and AB. AE remained relatively passive, dismissing the Foundation as a minor threat. That changed in 1967.
By then, the Foundation had become a whispered legend among Community civilians—strange ape-like figures glimpsed at the edges of vision, vanishing without trace. The Foundation sought intelligence on AE and AR, but quickly realized that, much like itself, the other factions knew little about them.
Escalating Tensions
The relative calm proved short-lived. In 1967, Mey’klor finished the Magnum war and could focus on minor threats. Slowly, AG was overwhelmed. Eventually, both the Foundation and Ishpla agreed that maintaining their position was untenable. The O5 Council demanded a mass migration of the population beyond the Commonwealth's reach.
No territory remained safe within Liorta. The only refuge lay beyond the anomaly itself—Earth. Yet resistance came not from the Foundation but from Ishpla itself. Their culture was built upon inheritance and survival, rooted in ancestral sacrifice. Millions had died to defend and secure their homeland. To abandon it, even now, was to spit on that sacrifice. The land was ruined, scarred, militarized, and barren, but it was still theirs. To retreat would not only dishonor their dead but also hand the enemy a victory.
Convincing them required something drastic. The Foundation and Ishpla leadership devised an operation centered on Ghhshaa—a ruined settlement under AG control. It would have been unremarkable, except that it was the last surviving city of the old war, a symbol of defiance and endurance. If Ghhshaa fell, it would demonstrate to the settlements that their resistance was no longer sustainable.
Thousands of AE soldiers advanced on the city, lured by decoys and guided by carefully placed charges. Panic spread instantly, and Ghhshaa’s inhabitants were evacuated, becoming the first to reach Area-8395-32. When the invaders breached the empty ruins, the bombs beneath the cavern detonated, collapsing the ground with the army falling to their deaths.
The ruse worked. With the enemy destroyed, the path to evacuation was clear. The Foundation argued that to die clinging to ancestral soil would betray the very legacy the Ishpla sought to protect. Slowly, most settlements relented. Yet the exodus itself carried enormous risk. To distract the Commonwealth, a simultaneous assault was planned. Thus began Operation Scalpel.
Eight Mobile Task Forces struck Gybra. Communications were severed, overwhelming the garrison. This assault concealed the operation’s true goal: the fall of Outpost 17, the largest forward base of the colonies and a with direct way to Gybra.
In the battle, the Foundation first encountered SCP-8395-C—anomalies capable of rendering themselves invisible. They comprised the first defensive line, inflicting severe losses before thermal imaging revealed their positions. When they fell, the outpost itself became the battleground. Despite determined resistance, the defenders were forced back. Within the complex, another horror awaited.
SCP-8395-D. These entities appeared decrepit and diseased, their bodies studded with spider-like eyes. Their frailty was deception. SCP-8395-D confirmed the O5 fears: a reality-altering anomaly weaponized by AR. Their ability to erase threats from existence, shrouding themselves in an invisible shield that nullified all attacks, marked them as Keter-level dangers.
Only three instances were present at Outpost 17, yet they annihilated two full Task Forces before weaknesses were discovered. The forehead and kidneys lay outside their protective field. Once exploited, these vulnerabilities were transmitted through Foundation comms, turning the tide. The outpost fell only after its final structures were demolished with explosives.
The victory brought spoils. Sixteen anomalies were secured, along with intelligence on Trrsima’s Reliable Intelligence and Logistics Bureau. Their prosthetic and AI technologies were decades ahead of humanity, including devices capable of shutting down the electromagnetic impulses of a brain—literally erasing an entity’s ability to move or think. These were controlled through ocular interfaces.
Trrsima also used a different classification system for anomalies, divided into Yuhr, Fikklra, and Raycor. Unlike the Foundation, which classified anomalies by containment difficulty, Trrsima judged them by instability. Four were Yuhr, seven Fikklra, and five Raycor. The categories were not straightforward: one Raycor entity, considered highly unstable, posed no threat at all beyond requiring constant medical care. Yet others, also Raycor, escaped during transfer and slaughtered Foundation personnel before being subdued. The danger lay in their intelligence and solidarity—several waited until they reached Earth before coordinating a joint escape to free their fellows.
Of the sixteen anomalies, eleven escaped. Most were recaptured quickly, but three remain at large even seventy years later, their trail marked only by destruction. When asked about the classification names, AG scholars explained that they derived from mythological creatures in their folklore.
The Foundation also discovered thirty-seven prisoners in the outpost’s lower levels, the Commonwealth’s equivalent of Class-D personnel. All had been stripped of memory; none could recall their names, origins, or how they were captured. Some bore crude prosthetics. Others were in trances, unresponsive. Fellow captives called them “stuffed,” a threat allegedly used by scientists against disobedience. The meaning remained unclear, but the terror it inspired was evident. While Gybra relied on torture, Trrsima relied on experiments. Anomalies could be “shut off,” increasing survival rates, but at the cost of mutilation.
On April 3rd, 1968, fifty-seven thousand AG refugees arrived at the newly established Site-32.
Site-32 is located in the Great Lakes region and a continent apart from Area-7, approximately [REDACTED] kilometers. The facility is among the largest in terms of sheer size, covering more than seventy-five kilometers, and it stands as one of the Foundation’s greatest fortresses. Its current population is 387,041, composed of both Chiedimas and humans.
When AG was first absorbed into the Foundation, Site-32 was little more than a refugee camp. The Foundation granted the chiee permission to build whatever they needed, assisting with both resources and labor. Over time, the site evolved into a self-sufficient settlement divided between surface structures and vast subterranean levels.
Despite its enormous staff and scale, Site-32 is one of the Foundation’s smaller sites in terms of anomaly containment. Since AG’s confederation with the Foundation, every resident is considered Foundation personnel. The underground urban complex reveals how the Chiedima design their cities.
An urban cluster in the center, factories, farms, mines, and other works surround the cluster, which is connected to other clusters by train lines. They are designed to be compact, requiring little time to get anywhere. As many employees have said, "it looks like an anthill," recalling their evolutionary origins, in which they unconsciously build to serve their family, like humans, who unconsciously designed the front of cars to resemble our faces.
One entire layer of the subterranean complex was left deliberately empty. This reflects Chiedima architectural practice: as a subterranean species, they are acutely aware of carbon dioxide settling into the deepest levels. They constructed chimneys and ventilation systems that channel the gas into this unused layer, leaving it to accumulate harmlessly.
Above this layer lies a narrow zone of cultivated oxidta plants, one of the oldest species of Creezaiv. These organisms can metabolize carbon dioxide, producing oxygen and fruit as a byproduct. Thriving in carbon-rich depths, they were domesticated by the chiee. Beyond neutralizing toxic gas, they provide food. Within the Foundation, debate continues over whether to introduce these plants to humanity for global benefit.
Surface grounds are used to raise livestock, both from Creezaiv and Earth.
The few anomalies contained at Site-32 are held more than three kilometers below the surface.
At the center stands the primary complex, similar to other Foundation installations. One major difference is the presence of a vast library and data servers, where professors preserve knowledge untainted by propaganda or bias.
Close contact with them allowed the Foundation to study their reproductive and social systems in detail. Chiee are strictly asexual, possessing neither male nor female sex, though vestiges of sexual reproduction remain in their biology. Gamete-producing organs exist above the pelvis connected to the urethra. Reproduction occurs when gametes are expelled into the air.
These gametes are both ovum and sperm, microscopic but highly mobile, remaining airborne for long periods. They emit signals that attract different groups of individuals. When groups meet, insemination occurs, and they select a secure location where the eggs—always laid in clutches—develop.
Chiee family structures differ profoundly from human ones. The core unit is not the individual but the household. Eggs incubated within a home are considered part of the family. Without a concept of paternity, chiee families resemble groups of cohabitating companions. In most cultures, the eldest house member serves as leader. Hospitality is a defining trait: eggs or individuals found outside a home are readily adopted.
Technology
In technological matters, Humanity and Chietaty excel in different domains. In AI, military armament, prosthetics, transportation, and the use of anomalous materials, Chietaty is decades—perhaps centuries—ahead. Humanity, however, holds superiority in communications, signals, general medicine, vehicles, and orbital technologies. In fact, Creezaiv had no knowledge of its own planetary shape until the Foundation deployed a satellite.
Creezaiv is a rocky world, the fifth planet in its system, lacking moons and orbiting a red dwarf. Whether its star is known to humanity—or even part of the Milky Way—remains unknown and requires further research.
Technological level varies according to faction, with AZ having the most advanced biological technology, AY having the most advanced AI and biomechanics, and AE having everything else. In the case of AE, things get complicated since it's unknown when non-anomalous technology begins and ends, and several parts are confusing and overly advanced, and nothing has been discovered even with reverse engineering. The most implicit aspect of this advancement is the weapons. AE's weapons are so advanced they seem to have come straight out of a science fiction novel. Cartridges and calibers capable of firing hundreds of bullets in seconds without losing power or accuracy, revolvers capable of penetrating and traversing steel walls, explosive and fragmented bullets, anti-material snipers and etc. The schematics for these weapons are highly desired by the Foundation, and any captured weapons must be placed in a series of stockpiles throughout the Foundation and must only be taken out for experiments or for use by the Foundation's elite. The only thing that is changed is the Mey'klor symbol, which is replaced with the Foundation's.
In terms of vehicles, humanity has an advantage. In fact, some of the vehicles used by the chiee are actually animals that they have tamed so masterfully that they can be controlled without error or problems. Not that it matters much because AE steals and use our vehicles as spoils of war. In addition, they reverse engineered and create their own more advanced and improved versions with anomalous technology, producing them in large quantities. Most of the tanks, helicopters, jeeps, and jets used by the chiedimas are copies or at least have an aspect taken from human designs.
The Commonwealth is infamous for its ability to appear and vanish rapidly without warning, using tunnels and even temporary portals. Reserved strictly for military use, this tactic, combined with their gray, spectral armor, earned them the nickname “Geist”—German for “specter.” This name seems to have stuck with AE who started referring to it with that name too, it's very likely that most AEs don't know what geist means and just think the name is cool and esoteric.
Industrial practices reveal another difference. Chiee designs are more polluting and hazardous than their human equivalents, reflecting their natural resilience to toxins that their human counterparts lack, in regions such as the core are so contaminated that a human could die upon entry. AE produces goods in enormous quantities, prioritizing mass production over quality. Over ninety percent of their energy comes from nuclear plants, supported by abundant uranium reserves and their resistance to radiation.
Concepts like a central, invisible communication network are still fantasy to Creezaiv. Internet and instant communication do not exist. All communications rely on thick physical cables, which can be easily severed.
Despite advanced AI and CPUs, most of their hardware is primitive compared to humanity’s. Graphics processors are rudimentary, storage inefficient, and RAM severely limited. Their breakthroughs lie in CPUs, motherboards, AI, and software—knowledge the Foundation reverse-engineered and disseminated through corporations such as OpenAI, distributing advances originally stolen from SCP-8395.
History
The history of SCP-8395 is as vast as that of humanity and will not be deeply detailed in this article. For a more comprehensive study with maps, nations, minor details and more context from such times, we suggest you to refer to the Site-80 archive’s.
The earliest preserved documents from the chiedimas show that since the beginning—ever since the first Chiee managed to speak a word—war has been their primary focus.
In short: the Chiedim discovered fire 300,000 years ago, and together with animal domestication they managed to colonize the entire dimension in the Stone Age. Around 60,000 years ago they discovered agriculture, the Age of the Sickle began, and the first civilizations emerged in fertile regions. It ended about 21,000 years ago when iron and steel were used and the first truly bloody conflicts began.
All of this collapsed 10,000 years ago with the invention of gunpowder. The dimension entered an Armageddon era with seven global-scale wars fought in rapid succession, devastating the planet and nearly wiping out their nations multiple times, only for them to recover for a few decades before plunging back into total war. Each war killed hundreds of millions. The first three were called the Tisshae Wars, during which their empire was slowly weakened until it lost global leadership, leading to the “Inter-Peace Period,” which still saw brutal wars. The bloodiest part of the era came right after, essentially a total war of everyone against everyone—there was no hour without attacks, sieges, battles, bombings, or massacres. The reasons varied: resources, power, retaliation, or simply war for war’s sake. These wars nearly drove the chietaty to extinction multiple times. The last of them was called “Peace,” and it was by far the bloodiest, with WMDs used extensively—thousands of nuclear, biological, and chemical warheads launched across the planet, killing four billion people.
It was called “Peace” because shortly after, 6,000 years ago, an industrial revolution began, rapidly industrializing the entire dimension. Nations stopped fighting on the same scale as before, wars became less bloody, treaties ended millennia-long rivalries, and a new enlightened era of technological and artistic progress arose. Population and quality of life grew as more resources were needed to fuel industry, and war ceased to be the central focus. The Chietaty prospered for centuries—but it would not last.
The greatest environmental disaster in their history occurred. Creezaiv did not always have only one ocean; there once was the Crystalis Ocean, lying between Liorta and Aukeya, with the most active and developed region in the world. To fuel their growth, the chiedimas built a massive project: a colossal dam, more than 300,000 kilometer long, able to power the entire planet within hours. Its name was lost, but what was once the chietaty’s greatest achievement created its darkest age.
For reasons still unknown, the dam literally broke and bifurcated at the deepest connection of the ocean, draining the waters into Creezaiv’s lower layers, leaving behind a dry, inhospitable seabed called the “Dry Souls.” The ecological impact is beyond imagination: millions of species went extinct, rivers dried, the humid air belt disappeared, jungles and forests shrank and withered. Worst of all was the collapse of the chiedima themselves—the global economy crashed, water, food, and energy became scarce, nearly every civilization declined or perished, and one in four chiee died. This ushered in an age of ignorance, lasting from 4,000 to 2,400 years ago: famine was constant, cannibalism returned, wars over resources erupted, and racism and prejudice reached levels never seen before. Populations far from the Crystalis Ocean suffered economic and social crises, but some survived intact.
For two centuries, there were efforts to reclaim lost territories. Both surviving natives and foreigners tried to rebuild the cradle of their species. But Liorta became a chaotic land plagued by warlords, who not only fought each other for power but expelled or killed foreigners and non-Night-Plates, justifying their xenophobia as vengeance for millennia of betrayal by the “colorless.”
About 2,300 years ago, what would become the Cohort of the Mey’klor Commonwealth was born.
Forty years later, the Age of Ignorance ended and the Age of Reclamation began, lasting a thousand years. In this time, all technological regression was reversed, destroyed nations revived, and the catastrophe’s impact was nearly undone. But this also brought brutal new wars as nations like AE, AW, AT, and AH rose. When it ended, all territories Mey’klor conquered became its nucleus.
About 1,300 years ago came the Age of the Tide, marked by colonization and the return of world-scale conflicts. In this era, Mey’klor became a true superpower, threatening the whole planet. These wars saw heavy use of WMDs, creating many uninhabitable zones through chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons, severely damaging the environment and population. This era ended 790 years ago, when a war so vast it became its own era began.
The Magnum War erupted after several nations formed a supranational military alliance to oppose AE. AE and its allies resisted the initial strike, but the war escalated until the entire planet was fighting. It lasted over 748 years with tens of billions of casualties. The Foundation appeared in the “final years” of the war—though technically and practically it is still ongoing. Only a ceasefire was signed, and AE and AZ continue to fight on a smaller scale.
Today, what could be called the “golden age of military power” is underway—for reasons that will be addressed later.
Later Years and the Different Nations
After establishing Area-32, the Foundation experienced another lull in direct conflict with AE, taking the chance to build several outposts and facilities within 8395. These bases are always hidden from native eyes unless located in friendly territory, ranging from tiny stations with a few staff to posts with tens of thousands of humans. This allowed much broader contact with and study of other factions of this world: some peaceful, some neutral, and some hostile.
To say Creezaiv is living through a violent era is an understatement. Unlike humans—where most nations today are not at war—every single nation here is in a constant state of warfare, fighting one another endlessly, with no part of the planet free from conflict.
AT. Neutral.
SCP-8395-AT, known as the Tisshae Horde, is a bundle of multiple military juntas organized in a feudal like system based in southern Aukeya. The Tisshi people had a barbaric, harsh past, living in the Great Salt Desert, enduring constant famine and droughts. They were forced to raid to survive. Seven tribes made a pact not to fight each other, and together they launched invasions that devastated Creezaiv.
With innovations such as the composite bow and the domestication of gassimps, they invaded across the globe, conquering all of Aukeya and establishing colonies in Pilgram and Liorta. For centuries, the aukans tried to reclaim their lands but failed. With no external enemies, the tribes—now turned empires with separate governments—turned against each other over trade routes, throne successions, divergent customs and religions, and betrayals. Centuries of civil wars weakened them, and when the aukans returned with the first firearms, after much blood the Horde was expelled from Aukeya returning to their home land and their colonies gained independence.
Back home, they restructured their society, abandoning theocracy and rifles for democracy and peace. A cultural and industrial revolution followed, making them one of the world’s largest powers, noted for pacifism and neutrality during the Armageddon Era. Through four global wars, they remained neutral, prospering in their desert lands.
But the Crystalis catastrophe ruined them. They lost resources, creating instability, and elections became increasingly bitter. Fearing civil war, parliament dissolved the nation into independent states united in an alliance, each free to govern as it wished but bound in mutual support. Lands were divided among monarchists, militarists, anarchists,fascists, socialists, conservatives, and liberals, with the capital Armzreg declared neutral.
Despite ideological differences, peace held—until the Aukans demonstrated their resolve by bombing Armzreg with chemical weapons as punishment for being neutral, shattering cohesion. The alliance collapsed for 80 years, until the Tisshis reclaimed and cleansed their capital, beginning reunification. They embraced a reformed, militarized constitutional feudalism. In this “enlightened” feudalism, they launched new invasions, though they it only needed little force—colonizing deserts, the Dry Souls, and wastelands poisoned by chemical and nuclear war. They not only survived in dead lands but thrived.
Over millennia, they raided and invaded, reverse-engineering AE technology to build their own industry, especially military. The Tisshae artisans forged weapons and armor regarded by the Foundation as some of the best ever seen, far superior to Mey’klor’s mass-produced equipment. AT bombardiers are among the best-trained, best-equipped soldiers the Foundation has encountered, outmatching AE bombardiers.
Relations with the Foundation are complicated. The Horde views humans as just another people and do not treat them differently even with our xeno nature. We’ve allied many times, such as in Operation Scalpel, but also fought many times. Due to their developed marksmanship skills, AT is by far the faction that finds the most hidden Foundation bases and whenever they find one, they invade it and steal supplies. The Foundation goes through the same problem with AE in this regard because the Horde has billions of inhabitants and an army in the tens of millions, so the Foundation does not have the strength to really punish them, but AT forgives attacks made by the Foundation on their camps because it would be hypocritical.
Since AT weapons are so advanced and they have knowledge of how to make the weapons used by AE even without access to anomalous material, the Foundation often buys these weapons, but AT refuses to give them the recipe for this equipment because, according to them, they are not stupid and they know that if they give the secrets the Foundation will never buy from them again.
AT is one of the most combative factions of SCP-8395. Whenever they encounter another faction, battle follows—raids and conquests hitting everyone. They treat the Foundation no differently from others.
AF. Hostile.
AF is a broad term for gangs, clans, cults, and militias that once belonged to AE but left for one reason or another. Some are rebels; others are persecuted groups such as neurodivergents, non-night-plates, religious groups, lovers, and so on. They are called the Shattered, classified as AF-1, AF-2, etc. The Foundation has documented 729 distinct AF groups. Though they theoretically share a common enemy, AF groups are almost always hostile, often due to their indoctrination under AE propaganda or other motives.
Because they are rebels with divergent ideologies, AF groups frequently fight each other. The most notable include:
[AF-210]: The Bedbugs, descendants of neurodivergents and outcasts who escaped persecution and impalement. They live nomadically in the Upper Path, always following whoever they deem the wisest. Having lived there for generations, they know the terrain by heart and launch ambushes and raids against intruders. They are exceptional trappers and wicket hunters.
[AF-36]: The Blue Command, a former AE army brigade now based in the Northern Archipelago, constantly besieging Foundation facilities.
[AF-666]: One of the most intriguing. The Cult of the Red Veil worships the Scarlet King. How this cult began is unknown, but since the Commonwealth punishes any religion with death, their hatred only grew stronger for a group devoted to pure evil. Led by their Scarlet Archon—an insane shaman who, after countless sacrifices, received some gifts from the King—they have won many battles against both the Foundation and Mey’klor, even when outnumbered and outgunned. They captured a Foundation facility, now their capital. Recently, the Archon seems to have received orders from the King or one of his lieutenants: his army, beasts, and artillery are massing near the portal. Though no attack has yet come, the threat is clear. They may break through and overrun Area-7. The Foundation has demanded the Archon’s head many times, but without success.
AH. Ally
The Union of Temple-Cities of Krhoski is one of the oldest civilizations in Creezaiv. Settled in the volcanic heart of Aukeya, the Kroskoris were among the first peoples to discover agriculture, building their homes among the crater lakes of the Krhoski Mountains.
Their civilization thrived, advancing in mathematics, architecture, and especially writing. With obsidian weapons, they conquered the surrounding mountains and unified the land under Emperor Gullak II the Elder. Gullak recorded his life in a great book — journeys, discoveries, and calculations — as his legacy. His final project was a grand temple and royal necropolis. At the dedication, he stepped forward and sacrificed himself, forever shaping Kroskori faith.
This moment birthed a tradition: sacrifices offered to their god, and the keeping of “books of life,” at first by nobles, then by commoners.
Four generations later came Emperor Jigrea the Faithful, once a priest before the throne fell upon them after their brother’s death at the hands of Tisshae raiders. Jigrea spent little time governing; instead, they prayed and pursued spiritual journeys. In visions beneath the royal palace, Jigrea discovered vast caverns housing an ancient slumbering god. The entity’s dreams bled into Khoskori minds, inspiring a religion. After communing with the being, Jigrea emerged as the first jarrator-priest, performing miracles: healing grievous wounds, even restoring life.
SCP-8395-AH-0, a thaumiel-class entity beneath the Temple of a Thousand Roses. Though dormant, it sends dreams featuring a “Green Lord,” a benevolent guide who warns, teaches, and encourages. Alongside the Green Lord stands the greater “Divinity,” creator of all things. The Divinity, however, made a perfect world too effortlessly, leaving chiee lazy and careless, until the Monster — embodiment of nightmares — slipped in and ruined it. The Divinity banished chiee to Creezaiv, where only through work, honor, and growth could they hope to return to paradise.
Thus, for Kroskoris, sleep is sacred. Laziness and negligence are sins that invite the Monster into one’s soul, along with gluttony, ignorance, hatred, and envy. Nightmares are warnings of its corruption.
AH-0 cannot be relocated or tested; to touch it would be blasphemy. Still, its influence is vast: the religion, dubbed “Sokornism” by the Foundation, is Creezaiv’s most widespread faith, followed by nearly 20% of the 42 billion chiee. The Commonwealth, however, bans religion entirely.
Jarratores are warrior-priests who manipulate living cells, healing wounds or reviving the dead (within 30 minutes). Each act blackens their arms until they wither and fall off — seen not as loss but as sacred proof of sacrifice. On the battlefield, they serve as healers, often giving their own limbs for others’ lives.
Jigrea codified these revelations into holy scripture, then was sacrificed like their ancestor. In the centuries that followed, AH grew into a powerful empire, spreading their language and script across Creezaiv. The very word “chiee” derives from ancient Kroskori, meaning “our people.”
They nearly perished in the Armageddon Era under relentless Tisshae invasions. The Temple of a Thousand Roses withstood a 33-month siege, defended by 3,400 jarratores. When the army returned, they found only 40 survivors among mountains of enemy corpses, still praying calmly. AH recovered, flourished during the industrial revolution, and survived the Cristalis Catastrophe untouched — their volcano-powered economy and self-sufficiency spared them collapse. While others starved, they prospered, expanding through alliances and marriages instead of conquest.
Yet schism struck: some jarratores abandoned worship of the Divinity, venerating only the Green Lord, whose presence was undeniable. Civil war erupted; the traditionalists prevailed, while the otelarists seceded to form their own state, later joining AZ. The conflict left AH weakened, losing lands to AE.
When the Magnum War began, AH sided with the coalition, though never fully joining DAIG. Later, when the Foundation arrived, AH greeted them with reverence. The contact with the Foundation intrigued them to the core, they were aliens so they didn't make the first mistake. Much of their religion is based on redeeming themselves for the sin of their ancestors by letting the Monster into paradise, but humans didn't let the monster in and so they didn't make the first mistake, making them purer, more innocent, worthy and wiser than the chiee, worthy of honor, sacrifice and admiration. As a result, is the duty of every sokornist to defend and respect these beings, when fighting together kroskoris defends human with their lives, often throwing themselves into enemy fire to shield them and prioritizing them for medical aid. Over wall every sector of their society is fascinated by humans in one way or another. So they do not only let the Foundation establish bases in their territory but also see these bases as temples and defend them with zealotry, the biggest site in mainland creezaiv, Site-1004, is built directly above the Temple of a Thousand Roses, is sacred ground, protected jointly by AH and the Foundation.Technologically, AH reproduces some AE weapons, like Hydra revolvers and Venomshots they share such advances openly with the Foundation.
AW. Neutral
The Gibbom Alliance arose from the poisoned ruins of war. Native to the Gibbom archipelago, the archipelago holded great industrial and civilian value in the industrial age until it was devastated with WMODS by the commonwealth 2200 years ago, Gibboneses were twisted by centuries of chemical, nuclear, and biological warfare, becoming mutants both in body and mind.
They rationalized everything as a jump in evolution so they want to pass these mutants and get more mutations, their absolute monarchy divides society into rigid biological castes, forged by both selective breeding and bioengineering — sometimes using stolen AZ biotech. Over millennia, they diverged so far that many question whether they remain the same species as other arthropodic chiee.
The worker caste became hunched, robust and winged, the warrior caste raised two arms blades in their elbow have a dozen eyes and are as strong as apes, the engineers have 4 arms and 1 tail that acts as one 7 fingers and poor eyesight but excellent dexterity, the diver caste grow grills to breath in water and have tentacles and a beak, the mariner caste is scaled like lizards and can semi-conscious sleep like dolphins and the leader caste who are a blend of all the others but more stable and embodying the ideia of superiority of the Gibboneses as their perfect being is one with all the others life forms inside it.
The Gibboneses are salvagers, pirates, and slavers. They raid ships, loot everything of value, and enslave crews to sell or use in gruesome rituals to collect their genes. The Foundation has often had to ransom its personnel back. Protocol on sighting AW ships is caution: their holds often contain lost technologies sold cheaply in bizarre trades — for example, three Class-Ds for an AE weapon scavenged from a derelict. The Gibboneses later stuffing them and reselling the humans at a higher price.
Most factions despise AW for their piracy and slavery. Only the Foundation and the Commonwealth find use in their talents, relying on them to recover lost technologies from the deep.
AX. Hostile
A vassal state of Mey’klor, the Vysmos Protectorate is one of AE’s only allies. Their main task is to produce prosthetics and to stuff the Commonwealth’s slaves. Yet, despite their servitude, they created several revolutionary technologies, including AI, bionic prosthetics, and electrical power.
Vysmos was born from a migration of Liorto peoples to the north. For millennia they prospered and spread their civilization — until tragedy struck. After the Kroskori defeated the Horde, they held a great celebration and sacrifice to the Divinity. The entire Vysma civilization stood nearby, and they were chosen. In a lightning campaign the Kroskori conquered the land and sacrificed nearly two million, wiping out 98% of their people in a single day. It took millennia to recover. By the industrial age, they finally revived, creating their own version of Silicon Valley, producing the first computers, AIs, and electric power. Trade gave them great wealth, but the Cristalis Catastrophe nearly destroyed them. Even far from the ocean, they still depended on its resources. When those were cut off, their economy collapsed.
To recycle resources and acquire new workers, AX developed the process of stuffing. A victim is lobotomized, their brain turned into a processor, and their body stripped of parts to be replaced with prosthetics or implants. The result is a cyborg slave without free will. Prisoners, asylum residents, or anyone who inconvenienced AW were sent to stuffing stations, caged like animals awaiting mutilation until they became “useful” to society. Eventually, when victims ran out, AX turned on their own citizens — accusing innocents of crimes, kidnapping, and enslaving them. A deeply ableist state, they spread the idea: “a disease of the body is a thousand times better than one of the mind.” Anyone neurodivergent was stuffed. With their ultranihilistic atheism, religious followers were branded mentally ill and stuffed as well. Captured non-night-plated chiee were declared inferior and stuffed to “make them rational.”
Their reign of terror nearly ended when AH launched a brutal campaign, calling stuffing blasphemy and an unforgivable crime. Once again the Kroskori nearly exterminated them, killing a quarter of Vysma’s population in a single day. City after city was destroyed until AX’s last defenses were collapsing. Then AE appeared, and AX swore loyalty in exchange for rescue. AE accepted, and AX embraced their rule, seeing the Makerians — also night-plated — as rational kin. Their prejudices aligned, though AE was only slightly less racist. Stuffing spread widely.
In the centuries that followed, AX became AE’s specialist in stuffing and advanced technology, considered by the Commonwealth as an ideal example of a “pure society.” Through all wars AX remained one of Mey’klor’s only surviving allies. During the Magnum War, they endured. The arrival of humans opened their eyes: humans are stronger, easier to breed, and thus the perfect next raw material for stuffing.
AZ. Ally
The Democratic Aggregate of Independent Governments, or DAIG, also known as the Skulls, is a nation born from the Magnum War and the Commonwealth’s greatest rival. Dominating nearly the entire tropical continent of Pilgram, they maintain a lukewarm alliance with the Foundation.
They are a federation of 19 hyper-militaristic republics, with Velgros as primus inter pares. The capital Yyikouy hosts their congress and presidency. In practice, most states within the Aggregate were conquered; Velgros acts as a metropolis ruling over colonies. The four founders — Velgros, Kajhra, Ostila, and Carmmea — share a long history that shaped the union.
Their ancestors were Indo-Pilgrameses, seafaring peoples who migrated 30,000 years ago. Over time they turned green to camouflage in the jungle and built isolated kingdoms. Velgrata rose in the Scythe Age, dominating the coast with iron weaponry and enslaving rivals. Klar’s tribes were cannibals, Xisco’s republic defended its island with knightly orders, Tivros’ river tribes bred animals and thrived rurally, while the Carmmin Fortresses isolated themselves in the mountains. All fought constantly until the Tisshae arrived with firearms, conquering Pilgram easily. The colonization that followed became known as the “Time of Humiliation.” The Tisshae and other nations partitioned Pilgram at the Temple of Roses Conference, treating natives with brutality. From this Velgros emerged as a colony from the klar tribe.
After 80 years of building strength and exploiting global conflict, revolution erupted. Pilgram’s peoples seized independence, creating nations like Velgros, Kajhra, and Carmmea.
Idealism faded quickly as old hatreds resurfaced. Wars followed. Velgros was devastated eight times, reduced to ruins before rebuilding again and again. After endless cycles of destruction, the Pilgrameses began to unify once more. But then the Cristalis Catastrophe struck, crippling their economy, drying the western jungles, and killing millions. Yet compared to the world, Pilgram survived in relatively good shape.
Afterward, Pilgram gained global importance as one of the few regions not utterly destroyed. By the Tide Era, a new Carmmean culture emerged: the Biollors, artist-engineers manipulating living matter to craft bio-vehicles and weapons. Their innovations drew government backing, laying the roots of AZ’s infamous biotech.
For centuries Pilgram prospered, while AE grew dangerously powerful. When AE’s atrocities — including stuffing — became known, outrage grew. The final straw was AE’s invasion of Ostila, a Kroskori splinter state. A paramilitary group, the Wings of Freedom, rose to defend it, and soon gained government support. Mey’klor could no longer be ignored. The Aggregate was born: Velgros, Carmmea, Kajhra, and Ostila joined first, soon followed by Pertral, Gorsnou, Dairus, and Jaime. A federalist government formed, balancing autonomy with central unity.
They prepared for war. Biollors received vast funding to create supersoldiers, bio-WMDs, and living warships. For a banner, they chose skulls — a universal symbol, shared by all races, religions, and cultures, meant to intimidate and unify.
In 1180, the Magnum War began — Creezaiv’s greatest conflict, burning for 800 years. Billions died, cities were leveled, technology stagnated. Both AE and AZ reached deep into each other’s hearts, laying siege to the National Core and Yyikouy alike. If not for the war, chietaty might have perfected portal technology and advanced to a interplanetary civilization.
When it finally ended in 1967, a ceasefire left AZ stronger, with more member states. They soon made contact with the Foundation, promising not to expose or destroy its bases. Still, Foundation presence in Aukeya sparked campaigns by AE that killed thousands of AZ civilians.
Relations between AZ and the Foundation are strained. Though AZ provides supplies and support against AE, thre’s this hidden disgust. AZ sees the Foundation as only slightly better than Trrsima. The Democratic Aggregate of Independent Governments sees the Foundation as only slightly better than Trrsima, AZ's ideology that every sapient being, be they chiedima, alien or anomaly, deserves freedom and dignity seems to be responsible for this, AZ thinks that the Foundation is not one of the biggest adherents of this idea.
Tensions peaked in 1971, when AZ annexed northern Aukeya, where many Foundation sites lay. An anomaly escaped and massacred thousands in Gorsnou, souring public opinion. Under pressure, AZ demanded compensation: the right to establish a settlement on Earth. The Foundation faced an impossible choice: accept or risk war on two fronts against AE and AZ. The O5 Council relented, allowing a base in Antarctica, 6 kilometers underground. Called Rearta, it now houses 5 million citizens, fully self-sufficient. Relations improved; AZ began sharing more intelligence and aid.
Still, AZ is fiercely imperialistic, invading nations under the banner of “freedom and democracy.”
They hypocritically experiment on AE’s geists, dismissing them as sub-animal after all they had done.
Carmmea, home to the most important laboratories and breeding grounds in the Cluster.
Kajhra, economic and commercial powerhouse.
Ostila, fanatical followers of democracy, produce the good soldiers and have the largest fortresses.
Mushpoe, an Auken nation that resisted to the end, provides the oil needed for bombs and te. A warrior people with a long history of carnage and explosives, to this day there are separatist movements fighting for their independence and is one of the most industrialized states.
Gorsnou, one of the Auken nations that remained united with DAIG, is essential for the annexation of other nations, and is essential steel miners.
Dairus, a city-state located in the southern archipelago, contains the most important shipyards in the cluster, despite having been attacked and devastated multiple times due to its proximity to AE and Aukeya.
Wyvern, a nation that was a once supercluster of over 60 huge Foundation bases, before being devastated by AT of the 60,000 only 8,000 personnel survived and were forced to escape to DAIG who gave them a small piece of land in Pilgram to rebuild and has thrived ever since using cloning and breeding programs to expand their numbers having today 400,000 humans.
Poskoro is a newly founded colony that became a giant training ground for super soldiers, with a militaristic population.
Hivvos is one of the Pilgram countries that contributes copper and concrete, and also has the largest and most secret laboratories hidden there.
Pertral is the main provider of food, new materials, and test subjects for genetic experiments.
Cybros is the main front with Mey'klor, with reinforcements from both sides arriving monthly. It has an industry that hunts down and scraps fallen bombs to aid the war effort. It's not a good place to live.
Jaime is one of the industrial heartlands of the cluster and the homeland of the Thimera.
AG. Ally.
The Ishplas are one of the oldest peoples of Creezaiv, having originated at the dawn of the Scythe Age. They migrated from the inner alveolus some fifteen thousand years ago, carrying with them a legacy shaped by both isolation and adaptation. Their most remote origins are lost in time, but it is known that, as a deep-kin people, they built their first civilization in the depths of the planet. There they learned to domesticate grifs and abromavincis and developed technologies capable of sustaining life in regions where few others could survive.
The ancient Ishplas lived in isolated city-states defined by extreme tribalism. Rivalries were so fierce that citizens of one city were rarely welcome in another, fueling constant hostility. This fragmented model eventually drove them to abandon the underground and migrate to the surface. Once settled above, they founded centers such as Ghhshaa, Kosporo, Bizzka, and Ishmer, each with its own form of government, ranging from republics to monarchies.
In this new environment, their contact with the land inspired a unique religion: Terribism. Its worship centered on Vigath, “the Boulder,” a deity embodying the earth itself. To the Ishplas, the entire world was a temple, and there was no need for constructed shrines. Death was seen as a return to ashes, a merging of the spirit with the soil that had nurtured them. To pollute the land was to commit blasphemy against both the deity and the ancestors.
Despite cultural and linguistic differences, the Ishplas managed to establish diplomatic ties with neighboring peoples, allowing them to flourish on the surface. Still, internal conflicts were common. The city-states warred among themselves both for power and for different interpretations of Terribism, with historic rivalries such as that between Kosporo, more pacifist and intellectual, and Bizzka, hyper-militarized and expansionist. This fragmentation only ceased when the Tisshae threatened colonization, forcing the Ishplas to unite their militias and resist. After victory, they founded a federal union, choosing Kosporo as their capital.
In the following centuries, they remained relatively peaceful, taking part in the defense of Aukeya against expansionist enemies, though unable to prevent the final defeat of the Aukans.
This era of peace ended with the discovery of the atomic process. The transition from fossil fuels to uranium reshaped the global economy. Nations rich in uranium deposits, such as Gorsnou, Velgros, Kajhra, and Ishplah itself, ascended overnight as economic superpowers. Traditional empires like Tisshae and Mushpoe collapsed into recession. The race for resources unleashed devastating wars, killing hundreds of millions. As waves of refugees poured into Ishplah, the nation became a cultural and ethnic mosaic. Diversity strengthened their economy but also bred social tensions, with protests, xenophobia, and political violence erupting across the land.
Over time, industrialization and a cultural revolution eased these crises, ushering in a golden age. International trade flourished, and Ishplah integrated into the global supply network. But stability was shattered by the Crystalis catastrophe. Beyond the collapse of intellectual life it caused, the event annihilated the ancient subterranean Ishplas, drowned when the oceans fell upon their cities. Famine, corruption among the elites, and civil war hollowed the nation, giving rise to a new interpretation of Terribism.
The Neo-Terribists saw life as an eternal cycle of war. To them, all beings were born to fight, and the industrial peace had been a deviation punished by the gods. The earth was no longer a sacred temple but the legacy of generations who had fought and died upon it. This hardened worldview carried the population to victory over raiders and enemies, but scarred them forever.
Soon after, the rise of the Zafitra Commonwealth brought new conflict. Ishplah was drawn into war against a far stronger enemy, forced to adopt guerrilla tactics and abandon its old principles. From then on, Ishpla culture revolved around martial law. Education and science were sacrificed for survival, and only those unfit to fight could serve as intellectuals.
Though they won hard-fought victories, such as in the First Ishplah-Zafitra War, the people never returned to normalcy. The destruction of Kosporo by the Horde and the collapse of the central government forced them into a decentralized structure. They sought alliances with factions hostile to the Community but rarely escaped misery. Still, they gained a reputation as infamous guerrillas during the Magnum War, sending brigades that struck deep into enemy territory.
The response of the AE was brutal: entire cities razed, citizens impaled and enslaved, and the nation reduced to scattered survivors. Only the intervention of the Foundation spared them from extinction, launching a great migration to Earth, where they remain to this day.
Among the old generations, culture is marked by trauma and the habits of endless war. Many behave like ex-prisoners, unable to adapt to normal life. The younger generations, raised among humans, tend instead to embrace a hybrid identity, often abandoning Terribism altogether.
AE. Hostile.
This is the part most were searching for, even more now in this miserable september. The Cohort of the Mey’klor Commonwealth are the enigmatic rulers of much of the planet, a materialist union of different branches of government, each with its own power. Little is known about their origins or who truly commands it all.
All of Mey’klor’s civilization and government come from a single source, the drop of ink that spread like a plague: Zafitra. In fact, Mey’klor is a translation of Zafitra. In old Thereo, “zafe” means hive and “trar” means high, so Zafitra means “high hive.” In Velgronise this became Mey’klor.
Much of their history comes from their own mouths, and we cannot trust it in good faith, as this government is infamous for propaganda and book burnings. There is a reason AG’s teachers defend their partial material with their lives, so be skeptical of what will be shown next.
The first records of Zafitra date to the Metal Age, at that time just a house with a few herds of frakrapras. The owner and his family managed to breed new races of vipilans that fattened more easily, becoming rich and soon buying a new luxurious estate, leaving the Zafitra farm in the hands of an old man.
We know this thanks to a very old pot. The Thereo wrote on pots, and one was found in which another farmer complained he had been cheated by this old man. After that accusation, nothing more was heard for thousands of years. The territory was later under the new Thereo kingdom, which heavily exploited farmers, so Zafitra may have suffered from that.
Zafitra would only truly become a city after the fall of the Thereo empire, when the land was left to Tisshi and Aukan colonists. The position of the farm was chosen as a storage point by the Aukan, who turned it into one. At first only one family lived there, then others came, and in the end it became a quiet village. For centuries they were nothing, until the provisional government of the Thereo republic fled and conquered a nearby city, taking control of Zafitra and transforming it into an information bank. Even after the republic’s end, Zafitra developed greatly, reaching 80,000 people, only to be bombed by a chemical weapon during the Armageddon Age and abandoned.
For millennia Zafitra remained the poisoned city, only returning in the Industrial Age when minimal resettlement began, though entire districts stayed abandoned due to lingering toxins. In the Age of Ignorance, a refugee crisis created camps around the city, which were soon assimilated, making Zafitra the only important settlement in the region.
That is where facts end; the rest may be lies and propaganda.
In the Warlord period that infested Liorta, they stayed neutral, defending themselves from raiders under two authorities: the noble houses and the plebiscite. The nobles were descendants of the city’s older inhabitants and gained power and influence, while the plebiscite was formed by the camp dwellers and migrants. They cooperated as allies until 344 BC, when the warlord Re’ynos found an abandoned container. Inside was a strange stone with an eye marked by many lines. He brought it to his lord.
Almost instantly, a stranger appeared to Re’ynos. They were tall, with unnatural features, yet confident, charismatic, cloaked in an aura of honesty, humility, and wisdom that one could almost touch. He revealed that the stone was an anomaly with absurd healing powers and that they knew how to use it to make Re’ynos immortal, appealing to their ego, asking only one favor in return: protect the stone for four days, then bring it to Zafitra. Re’ynos accepted. The stranger grinned ear to ear in a disturbing way and explained why: the stone needed to charge, and Zafitra was where theirs home was. Then the stranger vanished. But protect it from whom?
From the Militia for the Protection of the Everyday, a secret and millennia-old organization with the same purpose as the Foundation: study, contain, and protect anomalies for the sake of chietaty. This militia first appeared in the Crystal Catastrophe, capturing something, suggesting the breach had been caused by an anomaly. For millennia they contained and destroyed anomalies as a nomadic order, moving from century to century, even using anomalies like lugrons and wickets in their forces. The anomaly Re’ynos had was theirs, lost, and they wanted it back.
For days a brutal war raged until the fourth day. Re’ynos’s settlement and people were devastated, but they cared only for the promised immortality. They abandoned his people to march toward Zafitra. There, the nobles and plebiscite organized to repel the invaders while the Militia launched a three-sided battle, devastating the city. At last Re’ynos found the stranger and handed them the stone. The stranger told him how disappointed he was, that Re’ynos did not deserve life. Without warning, they tore his head off and left.
The accounts describe the stranger as a hurricane walking at superhuman speed without running, unstoppable, moving like a guided missile toward their targets. One by one, leaders were killed in grotesque ways. They carried their heads as they went. Nothing harmed them, no force slowed them down. Buildings collapsed, but they simply walked around before the explosion. After the massacre, he returned home, followed by the curious, shocked populace. Inside, he placed the heads on the stone and performed a ritual that unleashed a storm despite the cavern. The stone shattered, the city’s poison vanished, all wounds and diseases across every life form were healed. Then they stepped into the main square.
He gave the city’s factions a choice: “Join me, and together we will build a kingdom greater than this universe has ever seen, remembered as visionaries, or die and be remembered as fools.” After saving the city, the population accepted. Re’ynos’s soldiers now followed the stranger, recognizing a leader far greater than their former lord. The Militia, however, waited for their commander’s arrival before deciding.
Four days later the Militia chief arrived. He was never well described, some called him “at the very least not ordinary.” One conversation was enough to form an alliance, and with the other leaders, the Cohort of the Mey’klor Commonwealth was born. The stranger became known as the Monarch, whom we will address later. The Commonwealth was organized with each faction holding total authority in its domain, though the Monarch had the final word. The army became the Legion of National Defense, the populace created the Front for Settlement Defense and Care, Extract-Supply-Use and the Organ of Rational Node, while the Militia became the Organ of Reliable Intelligence and Logistics. Each was ruled by its lords and a council of five advisors. The most important after the Monarch was the Supervisor of Experimentation, originally the Militia’s leader.
By the end of the Age of Ignorance, they had turned that small town into one of the largest cities humanity had ever seen, building over a thousand layers deep. At its foundation stood the imperial monastery, so fortified that no spy, soldier, or army of humans, chiee, or worse, ever set foot inside. This is the Monarch’s home, the seat of the council, the central node of the Commonwealth, a place untouched by impurity.
Yet Zafitra would not be remembered by that name, but as the National Core, the nexus and source of their government and civilization. New facilities were built, some becoming cities, others sites for the Organ of Reliable Intelligence and Logistics. AE’s ideology was born then, preached by the Monarch: a pure society, logical, efficient, sharp-minded, free from irrationality and impulse.
What they considered irrational or impure was brutally attacked. To the Monarch, such a pure society was chietaty’s final destiny. Religion was seen as the greatest irrationality of all, blinding people from reality, so its followers had to be exterminated. Neurodivergents were treated as appendages to be expropriated, for to AE a disease of the mind was worse than one of the body, they were monitored, forced into use whether willing or not. Family ties were tolerated as natural but seen as dangerously irrational, while romance was considered the greatest threat of all, unnatural, irrational, to be purged, because of this prejudice, anyone in non-platonic relations was mocked as “arsinis,” roughly translating to “retard.” Humans, whose societies are built upon such relations, became the main targets of this ridicule. Other races were despised as impure; night-plates considered the original pure race, were incentivized to hate and look down to all the other for supposedly past betrayals and placed under constant surveillance. Humans and other aliens were seen as even worse, corrupt forms of life that deserved no comfort or freedom. Sentient anomalies, unpredictable and unknown, had to be enslaved or destroyed.
With their society firmly established, they embarked on an ambitious campaign of conquest during the Age of Reclamation, annexing Liorto states that resonated with their ideological principles. In the Great Campaign of 783 AD, they strained their resources to assemble new legions and transitioned into the Age of the Tide, subjugating vast swathes of Liorta and igniting ferocious conflicts, thereby inciting widespread animosity across the globe. From the Core emerged their most populous and industrialized region, followed by the Colonies, with their capital situated in Thismo. Shortly thereafter, the Monarch unleashed the Purge, compelling provinces and institutions to engage in a struggle for survival, thereby ensuring that only the most formidable entities would endure. Armies clashed, cities fell into ruin, institutions disintegrated, and a novel faction emerged from the ensuing chaos. This tumultuous period severely debilitated the Commonwealth, as its genocidal practices and enslavement had engendered profound resentment, compelling disparate factions to unite against it. Caught unawares, the Magnum War nearly obliterated Mey’klor; sadly, they persevered, ushering in a golden age of military supremacy.
To understand this golden age we must compare SCP-8395 before and after. In simple terms, AZ, AE, and AT had power comparable to the superpowers USA and USSR, while AH, AY, AX, AW, and AJ matched nations like China, Germany, or Brazil. But after Operation Scalpel, AZ and AE skyrocketed into a new level.
