Pestilence: Rise Of The Pure Undead

When it came to controlling the land, the underground, the sky and the sea- The Undead Empire was more than capable, ruling over all forms of landscapes with an iron fist, no biome appearing out of their reach, even the dire environments and weathers proved to be little more than minor obstacles in their quests to expand Death’s dominion.

But indeed, Loimos was made aware that the Empire had set its sight on a place where even the undead had a hard time exploring... What laid beyond the many layers of clouds, emptiness of space.

Now, much like everything else, space was not a single monolith, and some areas diverged wildly from the rest for no apparent rhyme or reason, but overall, it was a most treacherous place, Loimos had personally experienced it during his conflict with the golden one throughout countless memories.

Although the pure undead could exist and move through space without problem, this would not be the case for most undeads, the vacuum of space has many bizarre effects, and although undeads cna ignore anything related to oxygen as they do not breathe at all, they also don’t to worry too much about the boiling of liquids, as even if they do have blood or bile that can be subjected to it, that won’t do much to them.

The real problem to an undead being exposed to space is actually the least of the problems a living would be exposed to, being the fact that eventually, after several hours, you would be frozen solid.

As resilient as a corpse may be, once frozen completely, they can’t do anything and will just start drifting aimlessly until either something crashes into them, and they get sucked into the gravitational field of a planet or something else.

Few undeads, even amongst those who were knowledgeable in the usage of frost, would be capable of resisting it, and even if they could, without the proper equipment, they can’t do anything in space, which calls for the creation of special gear, tools and methods of transport.

The original idea of beginning a conquest of space had come from Vespertillo, in the olds days, when he had been experimenting, with his vampiric blood, or beast blood, using his capabilities to manifest the traits and powers of beasts and monsters of all sorts, he had stumbled upon a few creatures that had fallen from space, having neared too closely to the final layer of clouds.

As such, he was capable of flying through space.

But the one in charge of bulk of what was required to even get started was Atsalinopalo, his own vampiric blood, or pale silver blood, was more attuned toward machinery and beings that were not undeads, but lacked life force, he was amongst the best to be in charge of building things.

Loimos sent Gharl and Tiloh to work on the secret project as well.

Conquering space was a rather bold idea, as far as they were aware, no other civilisation had ever attempted such a thing, at least, any civilisation from here, who knew what sort of countries and empires existed on other planets...
