The Galatian Empire, like most of its peers, is peaceful. However, the Fell Wars that split one-third of heaven forced the creation of some truly terrifying weapons. Few advancements demonstrate this more clearly than what common folk refer to as “Zatcha” weapons, like the Zatcha pistol and Zatcha blade.
The name “Zatcha” is a mispronunciation of the original Leng’gui terms “Zed” and “Chi,” meaning Chemical Spirit. This translation does not adequately describe the extraordinary threat of this brand of heaven’s arsenal. Based, in part, on Leng’gui technology designed to provide safe and harmless travel of the soul to and from alternate dimensions, weapons built on these principles separate the soul from its targets. Advanced forms of these tools, which are highly restricted, are capable of trapping that soul within Chi Dasa stones for transport or virtually indefinite storage.
A select few among the highest officials in the Leng’gui Consulate and Galatian Navy believe that Zatcha technology might be used to erase a soul from existence – a crime so dire that it is both sacrilege and blasphemy against the Creator to use it. Research into such knowledge is forbidden at the highest levels, and any semblance of such a tool or research being conducted is met with fierce and swift response by heavenly forces. Recently, however, lay persons in Galat and Li have whispered rumors that this technology was being researched on Sigma 95 and may have something to do with the reason the moon of Gethsemane around Huan’Hai has been quarantined by angelic forces since the Huan’Hai Incident.
