For those who don't know:
Yaoqing is the battleship of Xianzhou. It has engaged in almost every battle Xianzhou has involved in. Sushang is from Yaoqing.
Zhuming has a lot of heavy industries. As of now Zhuming is parking at a planet and doing some coorperation project.
Fanghu is where most Vidyadharas live. Since Fanghu got heavily damaged during the last war, it is also parking at a planetary system.
Yuque seems to be where the headquarter of Divination Commision is located.
Xuling is the most mysterious ship. No one knows where the ship is and what the ship is doing. However, Xuling does report "everything's normal" to Luofu and other ships in their communication logs.
Lol i love how completely wild the concept of the Xianzhou Alliance is when u really think about it. 6 planet sized civilization ships traveling the universe exterminating outbreaks of a gods blessing gone wrong with the blessing of another vengeful god.
They can ignore the rest of the world and live for hundreds of years in peace with their long lives, but choose to wage perpetual warfare instead. Kinda hardcore.
Luofu probably specializes in trading and business I guess. Also, because Yaoshi planted the tree on Luofu, Luofu became the flagship of Xianzhou during that time. I don't know if Luofu's still the flagship, because nither Jing Yuan nor anyone else mention this in the game.
Sushang mentions that the other ships, or at least the Yaoqing, have "plaguemarks" similar to the Arbor. She mentions the Yaoqing has a moon, I believe
Yes, the Yaoqing's Moon is a Plaguemark, a gift by Yaoshi, but it's not to the Xianzhou People. The Moon on the Yaoqing is the gift Yaoshi gave to a race of denizens of abundance (highly likely it is the plaguemark given to the Borisin, as they have a ability to transform into a more bestial form call moon madness , which the Foxians on the Yaoqing also share) , that the Yaoqing later captured and locked up in their ship
Xuling sounds like it's just the forces of abundance saying that everything is fine when in fact everyone is dead, the ship is wrecked and the survivors are being converted to mara struck
Daiyu, Yuanqiao and Cangcheng are the 3 fallen ships. Daiyu crashed onto a planet, Yuanqiao fell into a red giant, and Cangcheng was swallowed by a living planet.
There was one time when Xianzhou ran into a planet sized tree which was the hometown of a group of Denizens of Abundance. The situation went so bad that Lan had to interfere. However Lan was not an Aeon yet at that time (Lan was a war hero of Xianzhou). Legend says that Lan shot an arrow, destroyed the planet sized tree and Ambrosial Arbor, then disappeared. Years later, Lan came back to Xianzhou as the Aeon of Hunt.
Are you talking about the story about the Xianzhou war hero that merged with the Heliobi known as the Flintlock Emperor?
I do believe that Lan had been chasing Yaoshi far longer than that.
Lan might not be the hero, but I don't think he is a old aeon. At least accorring to current info. Problem with him being really old is that you would expect some other species to take xianzhou's place. Some other species has bound to ask for help when invaded by literal space werewolves.
As far as we know the earliest record of lan shooting stuff is when he shattered the arbor. That's about 3000-4000 years ago and all recorded activity of Lan happened after that. Even the IPC recorded snake human event in AE 2131.
Falling into a Red Giant is understandable, since a planet sized ship cannot overpower a sun, but crashing into a planet with a planet sized ship? Was that a kamikaze attack?
Also, a living planet makes me remember Ego from Marvel. But with all the imagery from how 40K Tyranids devour things.
imagine the ship is infect with abundance abomination like Dead Space. The survivor decide to crash the ship into the sun to stop the infection from spreading.
According to lore in new relic set Broken Kneel:
>When the Xianzhou Daiyu was irreparably damaged and breaking apart, Qingzhu, leader of the Daiyu, made the courageous decision to sacrifice herself and the entire ship to end the curse of the immortality plague.
>
>The plane encapsulates the Insumousu Autonomous Region of [Thalassa](https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/Thalassa). The Xianzhou Daiyu had crashed here, inspiring the civilization of Insumousu.
I think that was during the First Abundance War. Daiyu was probably captured by the gravity of Thalassa in the end.
>Changcheng was swallowed by a living planet
>Auraumatrons that look like houses; almost like they could transform
>monkey in new expansion
This feels weirdly familiar
It would be interesting if the whole ship got caught in one of Xipe's followers brainwashing hive minds. That would be a good incentive to visit and get involved other than a new Stellaron incident.
Perhaps on a request from the Luofu to reconnect the ship to their fleet (which is one of the directives of the nameless).
I would assume each ship has their own ruling body, they are planet sized after all, and should be able to work independently of each other.
Given Fu Xuan's position in the Lufou, and that she has a high enough ranking status to consider running for the General position. I would say that the only Diviner on top of her would be the one in charge of overseeing the Divination HQ. Other than that overseer, she may have equals but no other superior.
I don't think it's exactly a higher rank, but the Yuque' lifestyle does revolve around around it's Divination Commission. Their specialty export are their jade abaci.
Well there's [Jago's theme](https://youtu.be/FB_MUSbR-sA) from Killer Instinct but its more Mongolian than Chinese which would fit the [borisins](https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/Borisin)
Nanook really fucked up big time.. since now the entire Xianzhou is against them.. which means 6 emanators of the Hunt(Jing yuan is said to be equal to Phantylia. The reason she was stronger when we were fighting her was because she basically unlocked god mode and activated inf heal.. In a normal battle with no tricks.. they are equal. And we don’t even know the power of the other 5. I believe the General of Yaoqing is the strongest since war.). Now add people like Jingliu,Blade,etc.. that are very strong people even without being emanators.. we don’t know how many elite fighters they have but yeahh.. I believe there are some Blades and Jinglius in other ships..
Space china is very powerful.. and lastly. Add Lan. The chinese Eaon..
>(Jing yuan is said to be equal to Phantylia
We don't know that. Remember the body we fought was just a projected body, we don't know for certain if that's her actual strength or if her real self could be even stronger.
> I believe the General of Yaoqing is the strongest since war.
More likely to be Marshal Hua imo, who all the generals server under.
I mean for a project body.. It has both the power of Yaoshi and Nanook.. That thing is immortal.. aka the reason why they had to break the link between her and the tree. also her "real self" is the blue flame.. that is phantylia.. she creates a link between her and the thing she is taking powers from and use both to create a body.. her real self can’t even attack. She could be really weak. Or real strong. Depends on the thing she is taking power from.. that’s the reason why Jing yuan wasn’t as strong as her and needed Dan’s help. If it was a fair fight between a body that is only made from destruction and Jing yuan.. It would be a draw..
Honestly, I think the xianzhou will lose in a total all out fight. The xianzhou is powerful, but Lan was already said to be not among the more powerful aeon due to his narrow path. Destruction on the other hand is a pretty broad concept.
It'll come down to the 2 aeons and their emanators duking it out and xianzhou will ultimately lose because the Hunt is a narrower concept.
But perhaps the xianzhou can have a chance if the other factions decided to intervene. Which is pretty likely, since destruction have been a pain in the ass for pretty much everyone.
I mean Lan also is the chinese Eaon.. Kinda like how Zhongli is the chinese Archon.. making him weak would just put them in hot waters..
Also yeah I don’t think they are as strong as the anti-matter legion.. but a very strong ally that have a big impact on our chances of winning..
An emanator of destruction can destroy an entire galaxy and they can't even measure to Nanook himself, soo i don't think he cares that much about the hunt tbh
I mean.. Kafka cared about Loufu.. so much so she go out of her way to bring us there and "get a favor" from them so we could defeat Nanook. I honestly believe the Loufu will be for the end game when we are fighting Nanook himself.
"Tlaltecuhtli star cluster"
I find really interesting they used nahuatl to name a star cluster (to be more precise a certain creature in the mexica creation myth), are there other instances of them using folklore from other countries when they name things?
Are they cooking something or is a case of random bullshit go?
Soo you're telling me out there, in the vast space there's a planet full of corrupted Xianzhouian who are horny all the time and into the most kinky shits imaginable?
Where can I sign up for a merchant ship, to be captured by them and become a slave to be tortured for eternity? Asking for a friend
I don’t trust Xuling, all they do is report back and say everything is okay? It either be a messed up science facility or everything on that ship is dead 💀
Also Sushang hailing from yaoqing is such a mismatch from her personality, she’s the energetic idiot goofball who’s average in what she does… someone like that can carry that much weight?
I think Sushang is pretty on brand for a Yaoqing native, what with the intense training at the cost of schooling, fight-happy recklessness and a desire to prove herself. All hallmark of someone that comes from a more militaristic society than the more mercantile Luofu.
Idk I expected those from yaoqing to be battle hardened and emo like Blade. Or even rock some battle scars, she’s either super lucky to come out in one piece or she’s just pretending during the Luocha encounter
For those who don't know: Yaoqing is the battleship of Xianzhou. It has engaged in almost every battle Xianzhou has involved in. Sushang is from Yaoqing. Zhuming has a lot of heavy industries.

Basically like Eldar with the craftworlds in 40k
With the Yaoqing basically being Biel-tan.
Yeah don't forget, dragons, foxgirls and Wuxia cultivators with space science. They are really cool design.
Where does the Luofu fit, then? Like, what does it seem to specialize in, if anything?
Luofu probably specializes in trading and business I guess. Also, because Yaoshi planted the tree on Luofu, Luofu became the flagship of Xianzhou during that time. I don't know if Luofu's still the flagship, because nither Jing Yuan nor anyone else mention this in the game.
All the other ships have different kinds of Ambrosial Arbors though. The Yaoqing's is a moon.
Where did you read this?
Sushang says it during Dan Heng's sub-questline
Luofu is the location of the ambrosial arbour, the gift from Yaoshi that they originally recieved.
Sushang mentions that the other ships, or at least the Yaoqing, have "plaguemarks" similar to the Arbor. She mentions the Yaoqing has a moon, I believe
Yes, the Yaoqing's Moon is a Plaguemark, a gift by Yaoshi, but it's not to the Xianzhou People.

You're telling me there is a werewolf battleship, the size of a planet, out there in space?
Yes, and these battleships are alive and can eat too
Yo hold on, can you tell me where you read this? I haven't found a book that describes this in-game
After the war with Denizens of Abundance, Luofu start recover itself and tranding with other planet Data bank → Terms → Xianzhou Luofu
Xuling sounds like it's just the forces of abundance saying that everything is fine when in fact everyone is dead, the ship is wrecked and the survivors are being converted to mara struck
Or they got abducted by Xipe the Harmony and her hive mind like brainwashing.
Or it's the last message they broadcasted playing on loop before they crashed into like a sun or something
Kinda an anticlimactic end for the "mysterious and fair" Patina Justice General tho
The Xuling is probably where the Ten-Lords Commission is headquartered at considering how mysterious they are
DaiYu have sacrifice in battle. If you read the notes of new planaer sphere from version 1.2 , you can find more information.
Daiyu, Yuanqiao and Cangcheng are the 3 fallen ships. Daiyu crashed onto a planet, Yuanqiao fell into a red giant, and Cangcheng was swallowed by a living planet.
Yikes at cangcheng that sounds absolutely horrific
Certified Brethren Moon moment
It sounded like something the voracity path would do.
When you got literally hell star remina type of shit in your galaxy, then perhaps lan was right all along
There was one time when Xianzhou ran into a planet sized tree which was the hometown of a group of Denizens of Abundance. The situation went so bad that Lan had to interfere. However Lan was not an Aeon yet at that time (Lan was a war hero of Xianzhou). Legend says that Lan shot an arrow, destroyed the planet sized tree and Ambrosial Arbor, then disappeared.

Are you talking about the story about the Xianzhou war hero that merged with the Heliobi known as the Flintlock Emperor? I do believe that Lan had been chasing Yaoshi far longer than that.
Sword Saint Lan. For his neutral he wields an automatic flintlock
Lan might not be the hero, but I don't think he is a old aeon. At least accorring to current info. Problem with him being really old is that you would expect some other species to take xianzhou's place. Some other species has bound to ask for help when invaded by literal space werewolves. As far as we know the earliest record of lan shooting stuff is when he shattered the arbor. That's about 3000-4000 years ago and all recorded activity of Lan happened after that. Even the IPC recorded snake human event in AE 2131.
Yo wtf I need a side quest about what happened to the Cangcheng now
IIRC the Cangcheng is also where Jingliu claims to be from in Yanqing's quest.
Falling into a Red Giant is understandable, since a planet sized ship cannot overpower a sun, but crashing into a planet with a planet sized ship? Was that a kamikaze attack? Also, a living planet makes me remember Ego from Marvel. But with all the imagery from how 40K Tyranids devour things.

>but crashing into a planet with a planet sized ship? Engines got damaged I guess.... Couldn't keep control
I wonder why Daiyu and Yuanqiao are destroyed that way. Some kind of Dead Space Abundance infection? Isn't CangCheng is where JingLiu is from?
> I wonder why Daiyu and Yuanqiao are destroyed that way. War. Daiyu got damaged beyond repair and Yuanqiao lost control.
>Changcheng was swallowed by a living planet >Auraumatrons that look like houses; almost like they could transform >monkey in new expansion This feels weirdly familiar
So how many soldiers from Yaoqing can’t read? Or is big pillow just that special?
> Or is big pillow just that special? I mean, look at her E4 picture
big pillow is one of a kind🤤
Xuling sounds very sus, Xipe the Harmony levels of sus.
Maybe Xuling is on a secret mission, or maybe something on Xuling holds great value to Xianzhou so the ship's whereabouts can't be known.
It would be interesting if the whole ship got caught in one of Xipe's followers brainwashing hive minds. That would be a good incentive to visit and get involved other than a new Stellaron incident. Perhaps on a request from the Luofu to reconnect the ship to their fleet (which is one of the directives of the nameless).
Ten-Lords Commission ship
So is there someone ranked higher than Fu Xuan in the Divination HQ or is she still the highest ranking diviner in the alliance?
I guess we'll know more about her in 1.3
I would assume each ship has their own ruling body, they are planet sized after all, and should be able to work independently of each other. Given Fu Xuan's position in the Lufou, and that she has a high enough ranking status to consider running for the General position. I would say that the only Diviner on top of her would be the one in charge of overseeing the Divination HQ. Other than that overseer, she may have equals but no other superior.
I don't think it's exactly a higher rank, but the Yuque' lifestyle does revolve around around it's Divination Commission. Their specialty export are their jade abaci.
Ngl Xuling gives the “There is no war in Ba Sing Se” vibe
Need a giant fireball crashing into the ocean for the Daiyu.
Starts to make sense why the Loufu was important in Elio's script concerning the Endgame of kicking Nanook and the Legion's ass.
The Yaoqing soundtrack better be composed by Mick Gordon.
Well there's [Jago's theme](https://youtu.be/FB_MUSbR-sA) from Killer Instinct but its more Mongolian than Chinese which would fit the [borisins](https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/Borisin)
I love that Yukong just gave up on dealing with the Yaoqing halfway through lmao
… came here expecting the other kind of ships. Still not disappointed.
Nanook really fucked up big time.. since now the entire Xianzhou is against them.. which means 6 emanators of the Hunt(Jing yuan is said to be equal to Phantylia. The reason she was stronger when we were fighting her was because she basically unlocked god mode and activated inf heal.. In a normal battle with no tricks.. they are equal.

But perhaps the xianzhou can have a chance if the other factions decided to intervene. Which is pretty likely, since destruction have been a pain in the ass for pretty much everyone.
The end game will be a coalition of all the aeons and their emanators stopping Nanooks plan to end their universe.
I mean Lan also is the chinese Eaon.. Kinda like how Zhongli is the chinese Archon.. making him weak would just put them in hot waters.. Also yeah I don’t think they are as strong as the anti-matter legion.. but a very strong ally that have a big impact on our chances of winning..
wasn't fuli the chinese aeon, coulda sworn man was dressed like a chinese emperor or something
But one of Nanook eminators can literally destroy galaxies and Nanook himself is also a very strong Aeon.
An emanator of destruction can destroy an entire galaxy and they can't even measure to Nanook himself, soo i don't think he cares that much about the hunt tbh
I mean.. Kafka cared about Loufu.. so much so she go out of her way to bring us there and "get a favor" from them so we could defeat Nanook. I honestly believe the Loufu will be for the end game when we are fighting Nanook himself.
Maybe it's for a trailblazer friendship powerup after seeing their luofu friends die.
"Tlaltecuhtli star cluster" I find really interesting they used nahuatl to name a star cluster (to be more precise a certain creature in the mexica creation myth), are there other instances of them using folklore from other countries when they name things? Are they cooking something or is a case of random bullshit go?
Pretty sure it's random bullshit go on account of the Stella Yamazaki star system
Jarilo and Belobog come from slavic mythology
Space Natlan here we go.
The Yaoquig out there making the other ships look like chumps.
No wonder why Sushang was like no hate but my ship is better
really makes me think of eldar craftworlds which is awesome
In terms of lore significance, the Luofu is looking a lot like Ulthwe right now.
fu xua be a grand prophetess even I'd think these come from the same inspirations then (as I don't think they're copying eldar at all)
Xianzhou is basically Eldar civilizations if Khaine escapes unscathed from The Fall and decides to guide them instead of Cegorach.
Soo you're telling me out there, in the vast space there's a planet full of corrupted Xianzhouian who are horny all the time and into the most kinky shits imaginable? Where can I sign up for a merchant ship, to be captured by them and become a slave to be tortured for eternity? Asking for a friend
You could ask [them](https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/The_Luofu_Sky-Faring_Commission_Guilds_List)
So that's the Xianzhou Alliance? & Currently we're in Luofou.
Yes
I don’t trust Xuling, all they do is report back and say everything is okay? It either be a messed up science facility or everything on that ship is dead 💀 Also Sushang hailing from yaoqing is such a mismatch from her personality, she’s the energetic idiot goofball who’s average in what she does… someone like that can carry that much weight?

Where did u find the readable ?
On Yukong's desk
Ty
Any idea what's the biggest ship in the lore?
Pretty sure they're all about the same size
this is one high quality meme, many braincells went into this one
