The [[Selassian Dynasty]] is a hereditary form of government, based on their racial home planet of [[Corryb III]]. Rulership of the dynasty is inherited enatically, from mother to daughter, and was established about 11,000 years ago in the wake of the [[War of Eggs]]. In this - one of the defining conflicts of Selassian civilization - one of the factions released a virus that caused infected females to lay eggs with shells far weaker than is typical. This resulted in most of the eggs collapsing under the weight of their own shells. With 90% of Selassian younglings perishing before making it out of the egg, the factions realized they had to come together and, after they destroyed the leaders of the faction that had released the virus, the Dynasty was formed. | The [[Selassian Dynasty]] is a hereditary form of government, based on their racial home planet of [[Corryb III]].
