Aquilae Crisis
The government of Asophania had seemingly vanished, so Denasola investigated. A strange document was found which referred to Saleuyth which seemingly coincided with a pitch-black nebula originating from Saleuyth appearing and obscuring the sky. Despite this, Denasola was largely incapable of investigating this as without FTL Travel being common place reaching this new 'dark nebula' would take 9-10 years. More documents would later surface regarding the writer of the documents, theorising that they suffered from schizophrenia or fatal insomnia after an encounter with an 'extra-universal entity' from a 'paradoxical reality'. Each document that was uncovered was found to be more and more distorted and incoherent from the last, with blood now splattered on the pages and all the writing devolving into unhinged ranting. The next documents depicted a map of Antarctica with the text 'What went wrong' over former Flamingia, then the word 'AQUILAE' splattered all over the page.
The dark nebula would soon grow in scope, obscuring the entire Sol System as the ruins of New South City began to crumble. The outermost Human satellites in the Beta Sol System took note of an increasingly dark object appearing in the distance, one which appeared to be consistently getting darker and darker, until it eventually disappeared. The only message to be retrieved from this object stated "Hpcridgjb Bdgixh", which was deciphered to mean "Sanctum Mortis". The next documents to be uncovered were written in an unknown language, which when deciphered was fixated on the term 'MALAHI'. The next documents to be uncovered spoke of The Biomass and the Iujado, seemingly being dated to a hundred years ago.
After years, a signal from Asophania was received for the first time as they mumbled of 'judgement day', which was followed by Asophanian ships showing up in the arctic and pouring down cement into every cave opening they could find before returning to Antarctica. Castrovalence increased as Asophania appeared on Theia within the territory of Portosene, prompting Iujadogia to ask for them to be sent to Iujadogia instead, however all communications between Iujadogia and the outside world cut off as an entity calling itself 'Aquilae' replaced Portosene and simply stated 'Malahi'. Aquilae spoke of how Asophania and Iujadogia were once quite alike until Iujadogia outgrew its previous reliance on serving Nihilantis while Asophania had foiled Nihilantis' plans, prompting Iujadogia to simply ask who Aquilae was which was denied as Aquilae overrode Iujadogia and joined it into their efforts.
East Malia was the next to join 'Aquilae', prompting Macanaland to close its borders. On Yata the New South City Laser Tower flickered to life on 'Anti-Regeneration' settings, shattering the remnants of New South City as all remaining power in the area was diverted towards firing a massive orange-coloured blast onto Cotunauinia, contorting them back into a form they once were before. Memories of a voice speaking of their misdeeds under Nihilantis' influence coursed through Iujadogia's mind as their last attempts to resist those that were invading their mind failed as Iujadogia was assimilated.
