1. Pyro Empire Emblem
Current Imperial Emblem of the Pyro Empire, seen on all Pyro military ships, Vehicles, most weapons, and armour.

2. Imperial Clan / Imperial Family – Gold
Acting similar to personal heraldry of all those part of the Imperial Clan. The Imperial Clan can include more than just the Imperial Family itself, but, relatives, Guards, and some members of the Imperial Court. Only 1 Imperial Clan exists in the Empire. The Current head of the Imperial Clan is Emperor Uria and has two sons Prince Solorius and Prince Volcanius to succeed him.

3. Aristocracy Clans – Bronze
The upper class, Aristocracy of the Pyro Empire. Aristotle Clans are mostly private families and their supporting lessor members of the clan, but these Clans come and go. Often an Aristocracy clan appears when the family gains a vast amount of wealth through various means. Often ranking along the side of Aristocracy of the Angel Dukes and Duchesses. These are upper class and wealthy clans, in the military they would be Commissioned officers, but otherwise would form the upper society in the Empire. One noted Hero of the Pyro Empire who came from the Aristocracy Clans before being wrongly dishonoured and humiliated and then joining the Armed forces to prove innocent from any wrong doing in the first place is Company Master Flaranius.

4. Rider Clans – Dark Crimson
These are specialised Clans within the Pyro Empire. These Clans would spawn the most renowned of Cavalry and Biker Riders in the Empire. This Clan type is relatively new to the Empire, only arisen after the Skylark Colony was rescued by the Allies. And seeing the Angels of that Colony ride on Horses, and various Jet Bikes. The Rider Clans would often take part in Races and other Sports that requires a mount. Lately in the War, it isn’t unknown that some of the best Dragon Riders and Biker Warriors originated from Rider Clans. However, some members of the Clans can make exceptional Pilots for the Pyro Navy’s Fighters and Fighter Bomber wings. It is reasoned to believe that Pyro Ace Fighter Pilot Master Larvarius was one of the first Pyros to be hatched from the very first Rider Clan.

5. Warrior Clans – Yellow
The most common Clan known throughout the Pyros’ History. Male Pyros from the Warrior Clans would always become the Warriors of the Pyro Armies, and Fleets. Covering a vast majority of the Empire’s armed forces. It was often said that the Warrior Clans tend to have the largest of families as a vast majority of their male youngsters would join the armed forces and never return. However, on rare occasions, there have been renown heroes that have originated from these Clans, such as Fleet Master Vulcarius and General Terminus, and the Oldest and the best Pyro of the Empire.

6. Hunter Clans - Brown
The hunter Clans were founded between the 2nd and 3rd Wars and were initially supposed to be assassins. However, today, the Hunter Clans take a more civil role. The Hunter Clans are a specialised Clan that hunts monsters and animals for either sport or food. The Pyros of these Clans are experts in the Hunter’s instincts and track their prey for days before finally striking. The Hunters can still be used as Assassins and Snipers of the Pyro Military and are highly valued marksmen. They’ll do more than just hunt enemy leaders and special targets they can also be called upon to take out enemy monsters and gargantuan monsters, to which the Hunters relish in expertly. It is reason to believe that Master Incenteratius was an orphan from a Hunter Clan, but he speaks little of it, despite he used his Hunter’s instincts numerous times in his early recorded military history before vanishing into myths.

7. Forge Clans – Steel
The Forge Clans are one of the most important Clans in the Empire and serves the back bone of the Industry and building of the Pyro Empire and culture. All Pyros of the Forge Clans would have spent their entire lives learning and understanding of metals and materials in order to build and construct. Female Pyros in these clans are not restricted to breeding only and has been seen alongside their stronger male brethren assisting in the various protects. Some of the best Computer techs and designers of the Forge Clans are actually the females with the Males doing all the heavy lifting and assembling. In most cases even in the Pyro Military, the only reason there would be a female Pyro in a military uniform and armour on ship or in camp is because she is from the forge Clans and has a duty and job to do. The Forge Clans do go back as far as the Warrior Clans of the Pyros History and are quite important. Some of the best Forge Pyros would wish to augment themselves gaining bionics and cybernetic implants. The most notable of these are Forgers in the Pyro Military who are Forge Pyros with warrior training. The most ironic Pyro from this Clan is Furnicia the head Forgeress of the 1st Inferno Fleet and is the only female Pyro to stay on the ESS Uria since its launch in the 4th Wars. Rumour has it she is more machine than organic, but no one wants to question it.

8. Seer Clans – Pale Orange
The Seer Clans are a mystical clan within the Empire and the Pyros history. They tend to be more wise and noble and very knowledgeable of all the Pyros. Seer Clan members tend to be those that study all that is around them. They are more closed off than any other Clan in the Empire, but are quite powerful as well. Dedicated to protecting their History and maintaining contact with their Ancestors’ spirits, they have a tendency to being Psychic. A form of faith, that could perceive religious but no ritual or worship is ever witness or recorded. The Seers follow specific paths to allow them to see their ancestors or the more powerful Ancients in various ways. Sometimes the Seers would try and predict the future but often considered very dangerous to foreshadow things too much may disturb the flow of time that Ancients are leading them to. Some are passive others are hard core followers. They can be used and classed as moral officers in battle as they send the word that their ancestors are watching, and make them proud. The Seer Clans first appeared between the 2nd and 3rd Wars, and was head by a Pyro under the Name of Quazius. Today, the most powerful Pyro from any Seer Clan is Arch Quazius and is the most powerful Psychic in the Empire. Another Pyro from a Seer clan is the Empire’s current Empress, Urania, wife of Emperor Uria.

9. Leader Clans – Red Orange
Leader Clans are not the overall leaders of the Pyro Empire, but they operate as the government and administration of the Empire. These Clans has a high amount of responsibilities and are generally the most busiest of all the clans. Although Leader Clans has been around longer the Imperial Clans, a large amount of the Clans duties hasn’t changed. Managing the Empire, economics, laws, culture, traditions, and other matters both Military and Civil. Each Galaxy where there are Pyro controlled worlds, one of them has a large Leader Clan to manage and govern them. All these Clans answer to the Imperial Clan back on Pyron or if the Imperial Family isn’t available, the Leader Clans on Pyron are the substitute.

10. Farmer Clans – Cream Yellow
The Farmer Clans form the agricultural infrastructure of the Empire. Feeding the Empire and its populations. Some Farmer Clans are incredibly smart, as they can terraform some inhospitable worlds into growing very grain the Pyros can harvest and feed on, as well as other exotic Pyro flora. Some Farmers will harvest various cattle lifeforms from their home world, to help maintain the growing Empire. No planet in the Pyro Empire that has an Atmosphere and a surface to stand on has not being flourished by the Framer Clans expertise in producing life and harvesting them. Fleet Mistress Firia, is from a Farmer Clan who was conscripted by accident, but can use her high intellect to good use. Even sometimes after reclaiming worlds from the Imperium she was already thinking how to make the planet flourish for either the Pyros, the Radians or the Angels.

11. Explorer Clans – Blue
The Explorer Clans were once before the 4th Wars known as Diplomat Clans. However, things changed, the Explorer Clans tend to be the pioneers and it would be them that set out to explore beyond the Empire’s borders and explore uncharted space. They are also scientists of various fields and are fairly common on the edges of the Empire, that isn’t anywhere near the frontlines and war zones. Between the 4th and 5th Wars, they were occasionally some of the first people to find the Angel Colonies. Explorer Clans are perhaps the most overly sociable of all the Pyros eager to make friends with other pioneers and explorers from the Angels and Radian that would journey alongside them. Most Explorer Clans upon settling would break down into the various other Clans that forms a Pyro society.

12. Healer Clans – White
Healer Clans are the Doctors and medics of the Empire, these are Pyros dedicated in the health of others and are well trained from youth to understand the anatomy of all life. They can operate as vets to various animal life within the Pyro Empire, such as Farm animals and the Space Dragons of the Pyro Military. Some Healers lately are well versed into giving aid to wounded Animals used by the Angels like Pegasus and other horse species from the Skylark Colony. Healer Clans, like most other Clans are not restricting their roles to the Males only, as the females are also equally good in the role as well. The Most highly noted Healer in the Empire is Gasia, the Imperial Clan’s personal Healer, or Doctor in Angel terms.

13. Miner Clans – Black
The Miner Clans, much like the Farmer Clans they are found on any Pyro Controlled world. Rather than farming, they harvest for a different type of goods, raw materials and mineral resources are their speciality. They provide the materials to the Forge Clans. Thus the Forge and Miner Clans tends to work closely together. The Miners find the ores and the Forgers make something out of it. Miner Clans could even be found in asteroids mining or even in Gas Giants collecting gasses to be used too. Miners are well aware of the limitation a planet or a rock could give, so often Miner Clans would leave a planet for a number of millions of years before coming back to mine again. It is unsurprisingly to Miner Clans moving from one system to another on a regular basis and they don’t leave the planets completely devoid of natural materials.

14. Merchant Clans - Indigo
Merchant Clans, are the shop keepers, the business Clans and traders of the Empire. In many cases some of these Clans would become extremely wealthy thus would turn them into Aristotle Clans. But often other Merchant Clans would work for an Aristotle Clan, more than one Merchant Clan usually. They would often transport the goods produced by the Famers and Miner Clans and send them off to their destinations. Some Merchant Clans would often tag along the pioneers hoping to get a trade deal with some alien power they would encounter along the way. In the Military, the Merchants form the logistics of the Empire, bringing supplies to the front weather if be fuel, equipment, food or Troops.

15. Entertainer Clans - Violet
The Entertainer Clans, they are the youngest Clans in the Empire, only formed between the 4th and 5th Wars.
