Corsahnim Since the days of Father Capet, the nation of Corsahnim (though not being called that up until the year 2022) was founded on Christian principles. Because Orson was seen as a Godless nation, and to a certain degree still IS considered Godless even by Galactic Corsahn standards, they were seen not as adversaries but tools of THE adversary. Regardless of this, however, Cape Town acquiesced to the wishes of Orson by not evangelizing and proselytizing inside Orsonian territory.
This, however, did not stop the aspiring nation from spreading the message of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, throughout the world through its ports. All who listed to knowledgeable Captains to preachers along the shore, all who listened to the Capetonian Message would hear a message of love, kindness and compassion that was unseen in the world up until then. There was no judgement from Capetonians, only kindness and peace and acceptance, even to non-believers and those of different religious backgrounds. This was the foundation of Cape Town, and would continue to be the foundation of Corsahnim for years to come.
Father Jackson Corsahnim would use this style of unconditional love in his leadership, forgiving mistakes all across the board and even outright forgiving the East Timorese resistance cells for their misdeeds, something not many Corsahns agreed with. Even as he forgave, though, he still authorized military actions in order to save his people. He needed to, otherwise the horrors he and his people went through would be repeated once more.
Johnathan Corsahnim, while learning from his father, would later neglect his Christian heritage and build the nation on that of his pride. He still preached love and acceptance as his style of leadership, but it became clear that as soon as he took his birthright as heir to the Corsahn nation, forgiveness would not be part of his values. This is evident in the way he treated Forsay Kendrack for his role in creating the crisis called the First Insurrection - forsaking his friend in the name of protecting 'his nation.' He later came to regret the decision, of course, but by the time he learned forgiveness, he was captured by the Order of the Raven and forcefully converted to Mercerism via Mesmerization, killing all notion of Christian values and, eventually, love in the man's own heart.
This left Andreas Tirnanius, the last remaining sane and alive man of the Triumvirate, to do what he termed as 'pulling a Moses out of his hat,' starting a Rebellion that deposed John and installed democracy. This democracy was sadly perverted by the Library, ran by the deceptive Jaune Le'forge, who intended to prepare the entire Corsahn Arm for mass ritualistic sacrifice toward his foreign god, the King in Yellow. The Orsonians eventually delivered Corsahnim from evil, and John - resurrected from the dead via cloning - was meant to take leadership. This, however, didn't happen.
John was imprisoned, same as Andreas Tirmanius, for telling the truth to the Orsonians - that Corsahnim was a Corsahn nation, not an Orsonian one. The Orsonians, thankfully, got the message, but not before interfering with the truth by spreading a nanite plague that simultaneously ruined John and Andreas' reputations and killing massive amounts of people implanted with an MAU - specifically, those implanted with the MAU Mark II, which was more common than the newer Mark III variant. This sinful act even reached as far as the persecution of the Evol'cor, who were immune to the deadly effects of the nanites.
Eventually, John came back with supernatural abilities. Some would consider him a god, but after the Reunification War, he considered himself a normal human with extremely powerful gifts. He used his temporal powers to move throughout the stars instantly, make copies of himself, absorb souls and eventually lay said souls to rest, and even give lesser versions of these gifts to those he deemed worthy of being Chosen.
This is now where we're at in Corsahn History - the point where peace and unity has been attained through the combined efforts of political movements and heroic figures in Corsahnim. Even Captain Cardan was recognized as a nationwide hero, despite being a pirate, due to his uncovering of the Ortega conspiracy to help Orson invade Corsahn Space if Ilyth'la regained control.
The year is 2330. Corsahnim is in a state of rebuilding after its separation into five successor states. The people sing hymns and epic songs alike as bonds that were once broken are being rebuilt.
However, in the center of the Hope Cluster, Sentinel is losing his battle to a dark being known as Oblivion due to Corsahn usage of temporal technology to defeat Orsonian warships and Nightfighters. Such is the cost of war...

I will not let you win.
You have no choice but to give in. Your mind and your body are weak.
No! I will not give in!
You will bow down to me. Your heart? It's mine.
No!
Sentinel convulsed during his meditation as he was slowly possessed by Oblivion. Before he succumbed to it fully, he sent a message throughout the entire universe to one specific person: Delta Seven.
My time as Keeper of the Cluster has come to an end. Oblivion has taken me over completely. You have to stop me, old friend, and take my mantle.

Delta Seven was working with Lilith, the AI named after the Demon of Lust in an ironic sense, on a new theory for the Ocearan Agency when he heard the call. When he did, he passed out in full view of the other agents, but when he came to, he left saying only this:
"The time has come to meet my destiny."
