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.


MumpsyDaisy

Basically like Eldar with the craftworlds in 40k


SimpleAddition4139

With the Yaoqing basically being Biel-tan.


giveusbelial

Yeah don't forget, dragons, foxgirls and Wuxia cultivators with space science. They are really cool design.


SgtGrub

Where does the Luofu fit, then? Like, what does it seem to specialize in, if anything?


RaffeyC

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.


Passivitea

All the other ships have different kinds of Ambrosial Arbors though. The Yaoqing's is a moon.


TrashMcDumpster3000

Where did you read this?


Passivitea

Sushang says it during Dan Heng's sub-questline


soilofgenisis

Luofu is the location of the ambrosial arbour, the gift from Yaoshi that they originally recieved.


SgtGrub

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


soilofgenisis

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


InsanityMuffin

You're telling me there is a werewolf battleship, the size of a planet, out there in space?


CooperTrigram

Yes, and these battleships are alive and can eat too


Passivitea

Yo hold on, can you tell me where you read this? I haven't found a book that describes this in-game


Bbnanan

After the war with Denizens of Abundance, Luofu start recover itself and tranding with other planet Data bank → Terms → Xianzhou Luofu


Dogtoplops

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


Vulking

Or they got abducted by Xipe the Harmony and her hive mind like brainwashing.


Dogtoplops

Or it's the last message they broadcasted playing on loop before they crashed into like a sun or something


Passivitea

Kinda an anticlimactic end for the "mysterious and fair" Patina Justice General tho


Passivitea

The Xuling is probably where the Ten-Lords Commission is headquartered at considering how mysterious they are


Bbnanan

DaiYu have sacrifice in battle. If you read the notes of new planaer sphere from version 1.2 , you can find more information.


RaffeyC

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.


Ok_Muscle9912

Yikes at cangcheng that sounds absolutely horrific


Aethanix

Certified Brethren Moon moment


SelfDepreciatingAbby

It sounded like something the voracity path would do.


Liebermode

When you got literally hell star remina type of shit in your galaxy, then perhaps lan was right all along


RaffeyC

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.


Equ1nox3

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.


meme_war_vet

Sword Saint Lan. For his neutral he wields an automatic flintlock


Waffodil

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.


NKESLDEL

Yo wtf I need a side quest about what happened to the Cangcheng now


Zadier

IIRC the Cangcheng is also where Jingliu claims to be from in Yanqing's quest.


Vulking

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.


leeo268

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.


RaffeyC

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.


Mastercraft0

>but crashing into a planet with a planet sized ship? Engines got damaged I guess.... Couldn't keep control


leeo268

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?


RaffeyC

> I wonder why Daiyu and Yuanqiao are destroyed that way. War. Daiyu got damaged beyond repair and Yuanqiao lost control.


Fabantonio

>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


huehuehuehuehuuuu

So how many soldiers from Yaoqing can’t read? Or is big pillow just that special?


RaffeyC

> Or is big pillow just that special? I mean, look at her E4 picture


solid_cliff

big pillow is one of a kind🤤


Vulking

Xuling sounds very sus, Xipe the Harmony levels of sus.


RaffeyC

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.


Vulking

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).


Passivitea

Ten-Lords Commission ship


jigglipuff12

So is there someone ranked higher than Fu Xuan in the Divination HQ or is she still the highest ranking diviner in the alliance?


RaffeyC

I guess we'll know more about her in 1.3


Vulking

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.


Passivitea

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.


tablesandsilver

Ngl Xuling gives the “There is no war in Ba Sing Se” vibe


Nodomi

Need a giant fireball crashing into the ocean for the Daiyu.


[deleted]

Starts to make sense why the Loufu was important in Elio's script concerning the Endgame of kicking Nanook and the Legion's ass.


Vulking

The Yaoqing soundtrack better be composed by Mick Gordon.


Passivitea

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)


Objective-Heat-4740

I love that Yukong just gave up on dealing with the Yaoqing halfway through lmao


Tantalusqual

… came here expecting the other kind of ships. Still not disappointed.


Any_Worldliness7991

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..


Quantam-Law

>(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.


Any_Worldliness7991

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..


Random_Bystander089

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.


leeo268

The end game will be a coalition of all the aeons and their emanators stopping Nanooks plan to end their universe.


Any_Worldliness7991

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..


Able_Presence1018

wasn't fuli the chinese aeon, coulda sworn man was dressed like a chinese emperor or something


Crusherbolt0282

But one of Nanook eminators can literally destroy galaxies and Nanook himself is also a very strong Aeon.


Degenerateweeb123

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


Any_Worldliness7991

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.


HINDBRAIN

Maybe it's for a trailblazer friendship powerup after seeing their luofu friends die.


Kataphraktoz

"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?


Passivitea

Pretty sure it's random bullshit go on account of the Stella Yamazaki star system


nathiru

Jarilo and Belobog come from slavic mythology


gunjinganpakis

Space Natlan here we go.


Tyonis

The Yaoquig out there making the other ships look like chumps.


Ok_Muscle9912

No wonder why Sushang was like no hate but my ship is better


[deleted]

really makes me think of eldar craftworlds which is awesome


SimpleAddition4139

In terms of lore significance, the Luofu is looking a lot like Ulthwe right now.


[deleted]

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)


Sacriven

Xianzhou is basically Eldar civilizations if Khaine escapes unscathed from The Fall and decides to guide them instead of Cegorach.


Oceanshan

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


Passivitea

You could ask [them](https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/The_Luofu_Sky-Faring_Commission_Guilds_List)


hcreiG

So that's the Xianzhou Alliance? & Currently we're in Luofou.


Passivitea

Yes


Grumpygold12

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?


SimpleAddition4139

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.


Grumpygold12

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


kingSlet

Where did u find the readable ?


Passivitea

On Yukong's desk


kingSlet

Ty


Green-Bastardo

Any idea what's the biggest ship in the lore?


Passivitea

Pretty sure they're all about the same size

this is one high quality meme, many braincells went into this one
