Like all the other [[Sycorax]] tribes, the Halvinor Tribe fought for the few natural [[resource]]s available under the surface of the inhospitable asteroid [[Sycorax (planet)|Sycorax]], whilst worshipping the goddess [[Astrophia]], the shamans carrying out [[rite]]s of [[blood]] and [[sacrifice]] to try to implore her to give them favour over the other tribes.

Now united, the tribes developed the technology to enable the asteroid to be pilot from [[world]] to world, plundering and enslaving the natives. However, after several generations, the [[mechanism]] responsible for controlling the [[travel system]]s failed, leaving the asteroid in the orbit of a [[planet]] in the edges of the [[solar system]].

Each tribe's shamans begun technology-augmented [[lost rites of Astrophia]], and they began conquering worlds again, calling upon the armada to take the planet by force if the usual tactics failed.
