The Clomicyle State was a nation that comprised the government of the Oikinoid people. It was active around the time of the Second Galactic Republic. The Clomicyle State controlled the Echapatrida Cluster in the Dhragolon Expanse of the Crucible Galaxy.
Only a single planet within the entirety of the Echapatrida Moving Group was inhabitable to the Oikianoid species - their homeworld of Kaminspeti. Many other planets were barren or desolate as a result of catastrophic events and disasters. Consequently, though mining and other economic activity took place on other planets, very little permanent residence took place offworld, with Kaminspeti becoming an enormous Ecumenopolis housing an entire interplanetary civilization.
As a result, the Clomicyclians took on a culture that was very dedicated to their own homeworld, and viewed other species through a similar lens; when speaking about or to other species, their homeworlds would always be referred to. For instance, if discussing the Drussiray, the Oikinoids would always refer to them as “the Drussiray of Zema,” or if complimenting a Vaikan, would say that his or her actions “honored Ucharpli.”
As a result, Clomicyle culture tended to view homeworld residents from other species as having higher esteem and importance than members of colony worlds. Further, it did not look favorably upon factions, such as the Klymu Roving Flotilla or Carapellex, who did not inhabit their homeworld in any significant capacity. Held in lower regard still were those who had no true homeworld of their own (at least by the standards of the Clomicylians), such as the Etekan and Ashadran peoples, referred to disrespectfully without an “of [homeworld]” suffix, neutrally “of no planet,” or in an attempt to be polite, using a stand-in planet, such as “Ashadran of Ashadra.”
The Clomicyle State was attacked on several occasions by hostile aliens known as the Buyuk Empire. At one point, an enormous explosion caused by the Buyuk through then-unknown means wiped out every mining facility from an entire planet under Clomicyle control. However, no full-scale invasion of their territory took place. After coming into contact with the Vaikan and the Eteno, the Oikianoids joined the Buyuk Wars against their attackers.
Eventually, Domum Regimen was conquered by the alliance that would come to be known as the Second Galactic Senate. The Clomicyle State took up membership in the new senate and sent a senator to represent themselves. The Clomicylians were war hawks against the Buyuk and consistently advocated for more aggressive and destructive action against them above defense and protection of Senate space.
While historians had previously wondered why the Echapatrida Moving Group was so inhospitable, that question would be answered during the waning days of the Buyuk Wars. The Cluster had been used by the ancient Arckasians to test the effects of powerful environmental and antiplanetary weapons. The Buyuk, as one of their last desperate actions in a losing war, infiltrated the Oikianoid’s beloved homeworld and activated one such buried Arckasian superweapon that had been stored below the planet’s surface, having centuries ago plundered knowledge of its long-buried location from Omni archaeologists. Its detonation was so powerful that it altered the orbit of the planet, while filling its atmosphere with toxic substances that also rapidly created a greenhouse gas effect. Volcanic eruptions, flooding, poisoning, and all matters of environmental calamity rendered Kaminspeti completely uninhabitable.
Though their friends in the Senate offered the Oikianoids a world captured from the Buyuk, the proud leadership of Clomicyle rejected their offer - instead choosing to live as a race of spacers in their home cluster. The Clomicyle navy remained active, as did its offworld mining and energy industries. Though they continued to fight against the Buyuk, their remaining power would slowly dwindle away.
Some Oikanoids chose to renounce their citizenship and live as refugees on the planets of other allied races, but most remained. Those that stayed did their best to return to some sense of normalcy while their government relied on aging infrastructure to mine and sell resources to aliens, for money that would often be put towards vain, fruitless efforts to restore the remains of their homeworld to habitability.
Eventually, the Echapatrida Moving Group would be invaded by the Anathema, who would deal the coup de grace to the withering remains of Clomicyle.
