In a unanimous vote by the Council of Elders and Grand Masters, the Startlit Court declared war on the slave masters, citing numerous insults and slights toward the Court, and the liberation of an oppressed people. It is to be noted, that several Grand Masters all but publicly urged Council of Elders to engage in the war to alleviate a growing sense of discontent or even boredom among court knights. With the Starlit Court joining entering the conflict, the revolution came to a sudden and abrupt end. The slave masters had grown used to slaughtering poorly armed and organized rebels, and in turn were crushed under the full mechanized might of the Knightly Orders. |

The Court's intervention brought an end to three months of war, and for the remainder of the year the Court remained near the planet to negotiate peace. Impressed by their deeds on the battlefield, the Court's leadership offered the Lutrians a place aboard Sihi as full citizens and equals. Seeking a future and world that had not been destroyed by their former masters. By the end of 798 YBP (Years before present/game start) the Lutrians had either migrated aboard Sihi or constructed numerous ships to join the flotilla, joining the Starlit Court and embracing the Starlit Path. |

The court had entered a sector containing the planet Najaran, home to the [[People of Sihi#Najan|Najan]] people, in 671 YBP. Najaran was an ecologically unstable world, and the situation had only been growing worse in recent history. The Najan faced constant floods and rising sea levels as Najaran's ice caps had begun to melt. Worse yet, the Najan had devolved into a state of strife and infighting. Two major factions had come to power, some seeking to wreap what they could from the flooding world and endure, the others wishing to flee to the stars and start anew in full fledged space colonies rather than the limited resource colonies the Najan were used to building. |

Members of the court who saw kindred spirits within the Najan urged Court's Leadership to intervene and help the Najan just as they had the Lutrians some century and a half earlier. Many people of the Court believed there was a kinship between the Najan and the Court, both were primarily warrior cultures, and the primarily faith of the Najan resembled the Starlit Path in many ways. The Courts leadership was split on the subject for some time, some were hesitant that Najan religious beliefs, particularly the worship of the war gods Hydros, Jormanger, and Dracos (representing Deception, Victory, and Savagery respectively) would seep into practices of the Starlit path and corrupt it. Others sited that while the Najan had an extensive warrior class, that the were far more aggressive and undisciplined compared to the warrior culture of the Court. |

In 578 YBP, a Bright light is seen off in the distance of space, many on Sihi believe that it could be a sign from the High King that there was the location of Grail. After much debate, Sihi's heading is changed to peruse the origin of The Light. |

In 537 YBP, The Starlit Court encountered a race of Crystalline entities which resembled humans. These Crystal Men, called the [[People of Sihi#Magmari / The Shards of Honor|Magmari]], already knew of the Path to Enlightenment and of the legacy of the High King, claiming they had been visited by him prior to the Starlit Court arriving on their homeworld. The Court is at first confused with how they could possibly know of our faith but eventually comes around to accepting one of two truths; they actually met with the High King, meaning the court was on the right and just path toward Grail, or they met a group of knights who still have yet to return to Sihi and they taught them our ways. Either way the Magmari happened to be great engineers and assist us in the repairs that would need be done after the Civil War, and were eager to join us on our journey through the stars to find the Grail. |

In the aftermath of the Crisis over Dachia, The Order of the First Forge and the Order of the Bright Forge Repair Sihi. The damage Sihi suffered, while repairable, was the worst damage Sihi had suffered during it's centuries long voyage. The Starlit court was forced into an era of reconstruction, as it turned its affairs toward repairing their artificial homeworld, during which the Court's economy suffered greatly, and Sihi entered a period of resection. During this time The court also banished all remaining Dominonists aboard Sihi, and began several purges and hunts for Dominonist traitors across Beacon Space. |
