The Consecration Ceremony was a religious ritual of the Ssi-ruuk, and one of fundamental importance to Ssi-ruuvi religion. According to Ssi-ruuvi religious beliefs, if a Ssi-ruu died away from Lwhekk, their soul was destined to wander the universe without end, and be denied access to the fourth egg that was the Ssi-ruuvi afterlife. To counter this, the Priests would conduct an hour-long ceremony to consecrate another planet. At the end of the ceremony, the Ssi-Ruuk would dedicate the planet to the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium, and give it a Ssi-ruuvi name.
