Overview

The Starlite 7th are a covert assembly of System-selected champions tasked with defending Royastella from existential threats, anomalous phenomena, and catastrophic destabilization events. They function as an autonomous heroic force operating beyond governmental authority, political influence, or formal military command.

Their existence is largely speculative to the general public. Most sightings are dismissed as rumor, spectacle, or misidentified System phenomena. The Starlite 7th deliberately operate from obscurity, prioritizing outcome over recognition.

Purpose

The collective exists to maintain equilibrium between civilization, System integrity, and emergent threats capable of overwhelming conventional defense measures.

They are not enforcers of law, nor are they representatives of any ruling body. Instead, they act as corrective agents deployed when threats exceed the capacity of ordinary societal structures.

The System

The Starlite 7th derive their abilities through the Royastellan System, a benevolent infrastructure that distributes skills, enhancements, and combat abilities.

Key Properties of the System

  • Grants Starlight Blessings, which are skill-based augmentations rather than magical spells
  • Assigns Runic Roles, symbolic titles linked to combat specialization and thematic identity
  • Selects candidates independent of human influence or social standing
  • Operates as a stabilizing and protective global mechanism

The System does not grant political power, command authority, or institutional control. Its function is purely preservational.

Core Members

Despite their regal titles, the Starlite 7th operate as equals. Titles represent archetypal designations rather than hierarchy.

Combat Methodology

The Starlite 7th specialize in synchronized team combat. Their abilities are designed to interlock, creating exponential effectiveness when deployed collectively.

Tactical Characteristics

  • Multidomain battlefield coverage
  • Blessing synergy chains
  • Distributed role specialization
  • Real-time mental coordination via Kayre's telepathic network
  • Strategic command modeling directed by Daeon Liàng

Starlight Blessings

Each member possesses a unique System-granted skill. These Blessings operate as advanced combat abilities rather than traditional spellcasting.

Blessing Properties:

  • Cannot be learned naturally
  • Are unique to the bearer
  • Often reflect psychological or symbolic aspects of the wielder
  • Scale with experience and System synchronization

Fail-Safe Protocol

If all members are incapacitated, Marate Jalo joins the battle as Starlit Alpha, retrieves the fallen Runic Knights, and activates Heaven's Mandate, transforming into The Golden Imperator, representing the System's final defensive contingency.

Secrecy & Public Perception

The identities of all members are completely classified. Even among elite governmental or corporate entities, concrete evidence of their existence remains elusive.

Public awareness generally manifests as:

  • Urban legends
  • Viral combat footage of unclear origin
  • Conspiracy discourse regarding System avatars
  • Cultural mythologizing

Ironically, many members maintain highly visible civilian careers, though their heroic identities remain undiscovered due to System-level concealment effects and dramatic personality divergence between identities.

Symbolism

The Starlite 7th represent:

  • Collective heroism over individual glory
  • Destiny selected by impartial cosmic infrastructure
  • Harmony between autonomy and cooperation
  • The preservation of societal continuity through unseen guardianship
