Editing The Markian Pact (section)

==Angels from the Void==
The Mechanicum was merely the first to contact the Markians, and in 851.M30 a new power made itself known. In this year the Primarch [[Gaspard Lumey]] of the [[Void Angels|Winged Victory Legion]] visited the world of Kouralia. At first the Primarch was rather blunt about his purpose-to integrate the Markian Pact into the Imperium of Man-but he did not follow his introduction with an ultimatum; curious of Markian culture, he instead simply requested freedom to travel through the Pact. Although still suspicious, and honestly doubting he would keep his promise of refraining from espionage, the Markians returned Lumey's courtesy with courtesy, granting him travel rights to the entirety of the Markian Pact (Barring Ghalhal). 

As large armored tenth-foot space men are wont to do, Lumey attracted the attention of literally everyone in Markia. He was invited to cultural and scientific events, and given many opportunities to lecture both to elite and general audiences. The Markians impressed Lumey with their sophistication and outlook, and he did likewise with his own rhetoric and intellect. When the Primarch ended his tour of the Pact with a speech, the entirety of the parliament listened with utmost sincerity; when he asked to be granted citizenship, the parliament's vote for was unanimous; when he asked that they be peacefully absorbed into the Imperium, few dared vote against. Upon conclusion of the session, the parliament gave three cheers for "Citizen Gaspard," and three more for the future of mankind.
