Starlight Command of Ekim Seal by @fragmented_imagination (B Sanders)

Ā sian āndhaiz, vais zedhes huwaiz.
Uma werās hume, khai ‘īhaxī axte.
Kxai vejāxaid makūdh.
"Looking down at the sky, dancing among the stars.
"Mother blue orb, I cannot breathe.
"I will be home soon."
~Captain "Anke Sumav Firamedh, G.C.E., the first Ekimian in space

The final branch of the Ekimian military is its space force, Starlight Command of Ekim. In spite the construction of space vessels and colonization of space extending beyond the Jarvian's home system, Ekim's government did not feel it necessary to establish a military branch dedicated to defending space, especially since Ekim did not have any orbital assets worth showing that kind of dedication to. Then the Ca'eacedt space fleet dropped a meteor on top of Genbar, completely decimating the nation and turning part of the continent of Ideum into a solid slab of bare rock. Starlight Command would be established ten years later after Ekim's first space flight agency, the National Space Technology Alliance, got enough feeling for the workings of space travel to start sending assets into orbit. Starlight Command is a combination of technology gained from other nations and Ekim's natural inclination to serve up a brutal thrashing to anyone messing with them. Taking the Yutsha Fleet's activities as stepping stones, it was not long before Ekim was able to build and launch vessels capable of going toe-to-toe with the likes of both unions.

The delta in the middle of the seal is an old alchemical symbol for "ascension". The yellow circle inside it represents the Jarvian sun while the white rings in the background represent the first four planets of the Jarvian solar system. The blue, three-point start in the second orbit is Jarvanh itself, being the second planet from the sun. The constellation goes by the name 'Uranai, colloquially called "the Mirror", and is included as a symbol Jarvanh as well since the planet, figuratively, would be reflected in the mirror. The comet and the satellite represent Starlight Command's tenacity and vigilance, respectively. The words on top are "Federal Republic of Ekim" while the bottom reads "Starlight Command" (Zatī Yazhbhaif). The words underneath the delta indicate that Starlight Command was established in the year 1728.
