"It came like lightning on a cloudless day. When the stellar plague came to our world, was is compassion that made us survivors? Did it bring any joy to our leaders to reduce our finest cities to ash? The Commonwealth of Pavlostani endured because it was strong and forever shall it be as the true survivors.
Our forefathers set aside their petty attachments, whether to a home our race outgrew, what gods we have long since shed, or the freedoms that divided us. Who here would honor their sacrifice? Who would prove to the spectres of the past that the Pavlostani remain the true survivors?
I know not what horrors of the void will visit us next. Has the Assembly brought peace to the Winds? Have the nations of the stars truly forsaken their natures for weakness? Perhaps the galaxy has given way to madness, but I know not. I know but one thing.
GLORY! GLORY TO THE COMMONWEALTH! GLORY TO THE PAVLOSTANI! GLORY TO THE TRUE SURVIVORS!" - Grand Admiral Levian Stracchus, Commencement Speech on the CWS Cradle
The Commonwealth of Pavlostani is a democratic state based in the New Pavlostani system in the Núlne Galaxy. Initially a collection of nation-states called the Emergency Pavlostani Coalition, the Commonwealth of Pavlostani was established in a popular referendum after the end of the Stellar Plague Crisis. They control 9 systems in the Núlne Galaxy.
The Pavlostani evolved on the world of Pavlostani. After the arrival of the Stellar Plague, the Pavlostani left their irradiated and ecologically devastated homeworld to a nearby system, which they called New Pavlostani. Initially living in orbital habitats, the Pavlostani constructed a ringworld around the star. At present, only a small portion of the ringworld is inhabited, but New Pavlostani is the most populous settlement in the Commonwealth.
A highly developed country, the Commonwealth of Pavlostani boasts high civilian productivity in virtually all sectors. Most industries are nationalized due to the massive influence wielded by the state. Productivity is boosted by nationalist ethics held by most Pavlostani who are eager to serve their state, as well as socially advance.
The Stellar Plague
During the Drudari-Ternary War, a Ternary cruiser whose crew had been driven mad by the Stellar Plague crash landed on Pavlostani. Not realizing that the alien vessel was carrying a Drudari bioweapon, Pavlostani scientists flocked to the ship to dissect it for technology. For the first few months, the Pavlostani underwent a golden age. Science and technology boosted economic productivity, eradicated many diseases, and ended famine across the planet. The Ternary ship had crashed in the Ingul Republic, which for three months became the planet's undisputed superpower. Across Pavlostani, all looked to the stars with wonder and awe. The first Pavlostani starships equipped with reverse-engineered Ternary tech were being prepared for launch to sail the Winds. The galaxy had never seemed so beautiful.
It began four Thyssian months after the Ternary cruiser made landfall. Individuals, especially the scientists who had come into contact with the Ternary ship, as well as their families and acquaintances began to act erratically. Ingul police apprehended a professor attempting to break into the Ingul Department of Disease Prevention's epidemiological laboratories. After a lengthy interrogation where the professor was tortured and forced to watch his family's execution, the professor broke free from his bonds and incapacitated the police officials detaining him before escaping and throwing his body into a nearby river.
The Ingul Republic was the first to be infected. Afflicted individuals across the country attacked anyone not releasing Stellar Plague pheromones. The Ingul military marched out to engage the hordes of infected Ingulites, only for conventional shock and awe tactics to fail and vanguard forces quickly overrun. Global transportation ground to a halt as nation-states attempted to halt the spread of the Stellar Plague. The parasite proved to be perfectly zoonotic, and avian, rodent, and marine life spread the disease across borders. Ingul descended into anarchy after multiple bizarre decisions by high ranking officials proved that the infected had infiltrated the government.
