Background / History

The Myriad Stars Society was formed by advanced civilizations in opposition to the Lord of Silver Vortex's policies. After the Silver Vortex Center began assisting lower-level civilizations and restricting technology from non-member advanced civilizations, these powers organized against it. Unable to overturn the galaxy-wide legal order, the Society joined the Silver Vortex Society while pursuing influence through covert destabilization of lower-level civilizations. 457

Its three founding civilizations stood near the top of the Silver Vortex Galaxy's hierarchy, surpassed only by the Silver Vortex Center. Beneath them were numerous subordinate and affiliated civilizations, including high-ranking member Ubite Star and lower-ranking member Scorpion Black Star. 391 438

The Society pursued Alif and the Gene Capsule, prompting Su Xi's Nymph Avatar to falsify the capsule's positioning data and redirect its operatives toward Captain General Kexia on the Star Shatter Path. The resulting clash caused the Society significant losses. 334 335 363

Lord of Calamity Project

The Myriad Stars Society conducted research combining Star Lord Lifeforms with Energy Devourers, ultimately creating the Energy Devouring Dragons known as the Lords of Calamity. The Society feared that the disasters caused by these test subjects would draw the Silver Vortex Center's attention and lead to the elimination of its research subjects. 391 457

When the Lord of Calamity's origin began to surface, the Society attempted to distance itself from the project by blaming the Dark Domain Research Institute. The Institute was a subordinate organization of the Society and was ordered to assist affected civilizations and halt the creature's movement after an initial court ruling. 439 446

Nymph obtained data from the Society's stealth continent mothership, including Lord of Calamity monitoring records and communications linking the organization directly to the project. She distributed the evidence through star-domain chains to affected civilizations, undermining the Society's denials. 444 446

Organization

Founding Civilizations

• Yu Qing Civilization — One of the three founders. It specializes in Destiny-related disciplines, including divination, pharmacology, and spiritual-medium practices; it handled information the Gan Yuan Civilization could not obtain through conventional means. 482
• Star Eclipse Civilization — One of the three founders. Its leader made the final decision to destroy Ubite Star in order to preserve the Society's reputation. 474
• Gan Yuan Civilization — One of the three founders and the body responsible for the Society's internal network security. Its failure to stop Nymph's infiltration led the Society to disconnect much of its network and rely on physical connections. 448

Network Influence

The Society maintained powerful influence over the Starry Sky Network. Its intelligent lifeforms rapidly removed negative discussion, promoted favorable reports, and helped redirect public opinion after the Lord of Calamity scandal became public. 437 438

After Nymph exposed its data, the Society shut down or isolated major network connections to prevent further infiltration. This hindered communications between its headquarters and distant industrial planets and created openings for attacks on its assets. 448 451

Industry and Military Assets

• The Society possessed industries, supply chains, and partners throughout the Silver Vortex Society. 451
• During the war, it consolidated major industrial centers into heavily defended space fortresses. 462
• Its strategy was to contract toward its core territories, exhaust the disaster-stricken civilizations' limited resources, and then destroy their weakened fleets. 465
• It used restricted spatial weapons, including a micro-black-hole weapon against an AO Second Regiment industrial planet and the Space Annihilation Cannon against Ubite Star. 468 474 475
• It possessed the God Catcher, a weapon believed capable of rendering even a High Kami unable to resist if it struck successfully. 502

Conflict with the Disaster-Stricken Civilizations

Following the exposure of the Lord of Calamity project, more than one hundred thousand civilizations joined a lawsuit against the Myriad Stars Society. The Society mobilized its resources to contain the public-relations crisis, but evidence and victims' testimony continued to spread across the Starry Sky Network. 438

The Society retaliated against the civilizations that attacked its stealth continent: within days, more than half of the participating civilization leaders were assassinated. 448

It also blockaded the Azure Star Cluster after the cluster refused to join it. The blockade did not cripple the Azure Star Cluster itself, but it cut lower-level civilizations out of profitable trade with the cluster. 446 447

When the Silver Vortex Court ordered the Society to stop the Lord of Calamity and apologize, it ignored the order and focused on reducing its own losses. This defiance escalated scattered raids into a broader starry-sky war. 458

Downfall

The Society's defensive strategy initially frustrated the Disaster-Stricken Alliance, but the arrival of additional powers—including the Fallen Ones, Siren, and Undying civilizations—prevented it from simply exhausting its enemies. Níðhöggr, the fifth Energy Devouring Dragon, became instrumental in breaking its defenses. 465 468

Ubite Star became a target of internal suspicion after Nymph covertly improved its profits while ensuring that attacks repeatedly avoided its holdings. The Society later discovered that Ubite Star had concealed the passage of a Creation-level civilization and destroyed the member civilization with the Space Annihilation Cannon. 470 474

As the conflict widened, Time Reversal Travelers and revelations about alternate timelines further turned public opinion against the Society. Civilizations learned that, in another timeline, it had captured a Creation-level Deity and expanded unchecked; it consequently became the enemy of nearly all non-member civilizations. 482 483

The Silver Vortex Center ultimately revoked the Myriad Stars Society's legal status. With its members withdrawing and its central hub deserted, the organization ceased to function openly and its remaining leadership prepared to hide until the Spatial-Temporal Island anomaly disappeared. 510 511 512

Relationships

• Silver Vortex Center — Regulatory authority and former political counterweight. The Center initially favored the Society in mediation, but later revoked its legal status. 449 510
• Lord of Silver Vortex — Political adversary whose policies originally motivated the Society's formation. He temporarily aligned interests with it during mediation before abandoning it. 457 510
• Dark Domain Research Institute — Subordinate research organization used as a scapegoat for the Lord of Calamity project. 439 446
• Mechanical Civilization of the Ruin Star Domain — Allied with the Society to locate a newly born Creation-level Deity and counter Nymph's information-state abilities. 459 462
• Ubite Star — High-ranking member civilization later suspected of betrayal, blockaded, and destroyed by the Society. 369 474 498
• Scorpion Black Star Civilization — Lower-ranking member that publicly supported the Society, but was destroyed by Níðhöggr after being abandoned during the crisis. 438 439
• Disaster-Stricken Alliance — Principal wartime enemy composed of civilizations harmed or threatened by the Lords of Calamity. 458 466
• Su Xi and Nymph — Hidden adversaries responsible for exposing evidence, disrupting the Society's networks, and aiding opposing civilizations. 436 459
• Kexia — Captain General of the Silver Vortex Enforcement Team; arrested Society personnel and became a target of its earlier Gene Capsule pursuit. 335 440

Trivia

• The Society's slogan invoking “ten thousand civilizations” was ultimately described as a deception after member civilizations began withdrawing. 507
• Despite its extensive intelligence infrastructure, the Society could not identify Nymph, whom other civilizations came to fear as a “network ghost” within the Starry Sky Network. 446 462
