Kygon

Kygon, Third Kygon Empire, or formerly known as SkyArmy, was a faction created in early May of 2012 by four friends. It is heavily known for its Pan-Server Empire in 2012-2014. It currently one of the oldest factions created on the server and one of the few surviving veteran factions. The faction is run by Supreme Leader Skylineply, who was one of the founding members of Kygon and took power in late June of 2012.

Beginnings
In some time around early April of 2012, Skylineply, ChatterBlock, Cheez, and Chaseoro creating a small faction on the server not knowing what it will become. Originally they named themselves "Fighters" due to them wanting to be mercenaries on the server and make loads of money. For a while no one really knew who they were up until they started to gander more and more players to join them. Around late April, they didn't do much except grind for money and build stuff, but possibly fought in two conflicts. On May 8th, 2012, the faction shifted it's main goal and became the First SkyArmy Empire lead by Chaseoro.

2012
On May 8th, 2012, Skylineply asked Chaseoro, the de-facto leader at the the time, to change the name to SkyArmy. Which he did since 2012 was an interesting year. Chaseoro declared himself the official leader of the group due to him being the oldest in the Four Circle. It was mainly fine between the others, but Chatter did have some resentment at first, but decided it was fun. The group over the next few weeks started to grow exponentially to face some of the larger factions on the server. There was growing tension between SkyArmy and the other larger factions but not to the point of all out war. Leader Chaseoro decided to initiate an invasion plan on the server due to SkyArmy's strength. He named the operation of the invasion "Operation Asshole" since he believed the faction was going to be an asshole to the server. The invasion plan was never carried out since there was heavy resentment amongst the faction with a few saying it was a good idea, including Chatter. Tensions started to settled down between SkyArmy between the other factions to the point of peace. Sometime in late June, Chaseoro logged off the server after building stuff and disappeared from the server completely. No one knows what has happened to him to this day, as Skylineply has speculated he got bored of playing and moved on to do better stuff in his life. There was a power vacuum between the higher ups of the group, as Skylineply and Chatterblock were the clear potential successors of the Empire. After long debates and arguments, Skylineply was the declared leader of the group which angered ChatterBlock. This would be the stepping stone for the Sky-Chatter Conflict, as Chatter and a few others would leave the faction after five weeks, saying that Sky was too weak for the faction and shouldn't be ruling it all. Tensions began to rose between the two, and over the next five days(August 10-15) of Chatter leaving, The First Kygon Civil War(SkyArmy) officially broke out. Over the next few days fighting was immense between the dueling friends turn enemies. Some close SkyArmy Allies supported and funded Sky against Chatter over the 2 weeks that they were fighting. Chatter and his main ally, the Phoenix Faction, decided to counterattack and blew up a few of Sky's allied bases and towns starting the The First Sever War. Both factions formed an alliance named, The Axis Pact. Using the stolen plans of Operation Asshole, they shifted the main focus of the Civil War and decided start a full scale invasion of the server.

After The First Server War ended, SkyArmy enter The First Reconstruction Period after the major defeat of The Axis Pact in late September. The war resulted in massive amounts of damaged infrastructure and took weeks on rebuilding or abandoning full settlements. For the remainder of the year the server did not experience any large conflicts except for smaller ones. This would enter an Gold Age for SkyArmy as most group began to see how legitimate the faction is. Though SkyArmy was isolated on RfiCraft since it was started, the idea of spreading to other servers was brought up to Skylineply. From this, the faction began to spread on different servers throughout the Golden Age spreading their influence and economic powers amongst different factions. This would cause the faction to shift to an Pan-Server Empire which grew greatly designating RfiCraft as the Capital Server. This helped the faction grow on RfiCraft as it became the biggest faction on there in a matter of months.

SkyArmy
The Government included 50 members in the Kygon Council. In the Low Council, it consisted of 40 elected members in the chamber, with elections every 4 months of the year. There were political parties during elections too, but have been banned from the faction since 2015. In the High Council, it consisted 9 selected spots, excluding Skylineply, as the High Council was the most important part of the entire Kygon Government.

The Low Council operated as multiple regional governments in order to control their spots during the First SkyArmy(Kygon) Empire. They did most decisions by themselves, but had to require a vote to send a new rule or law to be accepted by the High Council. It's is very comparable to the United States Government too due to a representative democracy. The Low Council was required to meet once a week for decisions and updates in the faction. The Council fully collapsed sometime after May 2014 due to arguments and rebellions happening within the Empire.

The High Council was in charge of everything in the government and military operations within the Empire. They were the ones that decided what was the best for the Empire and all of its causes. It included 2 Generals in the Army, 6 Regional Governors(who had other positions), Firecore5678 and Skylineply. They would mainly meet everyday to discuss certain problems with in the faction and agreed upon things. However, Skylineply could change anything he wanted or approved anything without a vote. It consumed the the Low Council after their collapse in May 2014, to take full control of the Government during the Fall of SkyArmy.

After distancing it's self from the SkyArmy name in 2017, the new Kygon Government has some similarities as the First Empire. It still follows the same idea, but is more militaristic now. It consists of an Officials and High Council branches who do the exact same thing as the former government. However, Skylineply oversees both branches of the government directly.
