I always wondered how Kinmoku got wrapped up in the mess with Chaos and how the world was destroyed. This is the story of the Fall of Kinmoku, as I imagined it happening.
Prologue
Kinmoku was a rather quiet plant, hidden in the far reaches of a distant galaxy, surrounded by bright, beautiful stars. The people of the planet believed their gathered their power from these stars, which were the remnants of great sailor senshi from times before. Long gone were the days of the Sailor Wars, but the legends of the beautiful, legendary women lived on through the stars, told in constellations that spiraled and intertwined beautifully across the universe.
Kinmoku itself was a small planet, in terms of size—roughly about the size of Earth, a rather well-known planet in the universe. Unlike Earth, however, it had two moons, though both were barren of any life. Aside from the moons, there were no other celestial bodies for at least a light year. In fact, it was the only planet orbiting this one particular sun. In this way, it was partially isolated from other planets. At one point in the past, however, the rulers of Kinmoku decided to expand their empire. However, upon finding sentient life on other planets, they decided to not conquer, but communicate. This diplomatic solution found Kinmoku many allies in the worlds around them.
Another respect in which Kinmoku was different was that it did not hide the identities of its senshi heroines; rather, the senshi were a part of the people, a part of the way of life. They lived with the royal family in the palace, located in the capital city, Kinita.
Kinita was the center of all happenings, a rather grand city—the envy of many planets nearby. Its people were educated well, it was economically stable, and the city itself was rather beautiful. There were buildings without square concerns—they were rounded with triangular doors. This geometry made the buildings rather unique, as not many people used this technique in their buildings. They were usually red with black trimming, though the fashion was changing to a rather calm blue. The roads were paved with a sparkling granite that led straight to the palace. The palace itself was a large, red crystal building. Red and yellow flowers of many varieties surrounded it in gardens. Their bright, flowing petals numbered anywhere from one to two dozen.
The planet was ruled by Princess Kakyuu of the Kinita dynasty (the namesake of the city). The king and queen had passed some time ago due to a sickness that had plagued the planet. The king and queen, with their last bit of strength, used the power of their ruby crystal to heal the planet and eradicate the sickness. This resulted in their deaths, leaving Kakyuu as the only remaining heir to the throne. Many years had passed and so the planet at this time was thriving more than ever, in the middle of an era called The Ruby Eon.
