Overview

CAPITAL: Trostia, aka Saedar IV, sometimes Trostia Prime

IMPERIAL HOLDINGS, PRIMARY: Saedar IV, Ephranigy I, Ephranigy II, Saedar II

POPULATION: 8,140,000,000

Astrography

Saedar

Class: K5 Orange
Temperature: 4,350 deg K
Mass: 0.67 suns
Terrestrial Orbit Equivalent: 0.39 AU
Planets: 7 (4 rocky, 3 gas giants)

The Saedar System is the home system of the Trostian people.

Saedar II

Radius: 4,715.8 km
Density: 4.09
Gravity: 5.34 m/s/s
Mass: 1,795,740,382,547 kg
Day Length: 11.66 hours

Saedar II is a waterless, rocky world which is in the process of being terraformed. It's atmosphere is approaching identity with that of Saedar IV, but the significantly warmer temperature means that it will be some time before people can walk the surface unaided. The land is rich in metals, such as iron.

Saedar IV (Trostia Prime)

Radius: 7,945.84 km
Density: 3.33
Gravity: 7.39 m/s/s
Mass: 6,992,539,047,601 kg
Day Length: 38.26 hours
Distance from Sun: 58,343,220 km

Saedar IV is a varied-climate, earth-like planet with less mass and a greater percentage (82%) of the surface covered with water. Land formation is both continental and volcanic, with no natural biomes remain after millennia of technological civilization. The lower gravity assisted an earlier space exploration and development program, but as a result Trostians are habituated to weaker gravitic forces.

Ephranigy

Class: M2 Red
Temperature: 3,580 deg K
Mass: 0.4 suns
Terrestrial Orbit Equivalent: 0.21 AU
Planets: 4 (rocky)

The Ephranigy system is the first extrasolar system colonized by Trostia. It's a small, old, dim, red star with mostly cold, rocky planets. Two extensive asteroid belts may indicate prior existence of planets which broke up due to gravitic stresses or collisions.

Ephranigy I

Radius: 2,559 km
Density: 4.92
Gravity: 3.52 m/s/s
Mass: 345,805,645,865 kg
Day Length: 172.76 hours (7.2 earth days)

Ephranigy I is a small, warm planet with no oceans. It is uninhabitable without protective technologies and subsurface dwellings. The terrain is rocky, with no evidence of previous or current tectonic activity.

Ephranigy II

Radius: 2,755.1 km
Density: 5.21
Gravity: 4.01 m/s/s
Mass: 456,078,057,253 kg
Day Length: 321.49 hours (13.4 earth days)

Ephranigy II is a frozen, landless planet far from it's sun. The surface is entirely covered in ice several kilometers thick. Water beneath the surface is home to some native life forms. The planet is modestly wealthy in oxygen, hydrogen, water and other useful elements.

Government

GOVERNMENT TYPE: Constitutional Monarchy
LONG: The Interestellar Republic of Greater Trostia (IRGT)
SHORT: Greater Trostian Republic (GTR)
INFORMAL: Trostia, Greater Trostia, Greater Republic
LEGISLATIVE: Interstellar Congress, Assembly of Lords
JUDICIAL: Imperial Court
HEAD OF STATE: Emperor Liko IV (Hereditary; Commands the Ministries and the Trostian Imperial Military Command)
HEAD OF GOVERNMENT: Prime Minister Malgathor (Nominated by Assembly of Lords, Confirmed by Interstellar Congress)

HEAD OF MILITARY: Lord-Admiral Viko
HEAD OF ARMY: Lord-General Baylo
HEAD OF NAVY: Admiral of the Fleet Grengo
HEAD OF IMPERIAL MILITIA: General Thrayk
HEAD OF SAEDARIAN BLADES: First Blade Zun

ASSEMBLY OF LORDS: The AoL currently has 2 System Dukes, 4 Planetary Barons, 36 Regional Lords, and 180 Knights.

INTERSTELLAR CONGRESS: The IC contains a number of representatives equal to one-one millionth of the population (population/1,000,000) at the time of election. (Drones do not count toward this population). The representatives are elected by region every 5 years.

SUFFRAGE: Drones cannot vote; Citizens can vote for Representatives in the Interstellar Congress.

Society

HIEARCHY:

There is a triple hiearchy within Trostian civilization, clearly delineated. The Emperor is at the top of all three, but especially the Social Hiearchy. The Social Hiearchy is in turn slightly superior to the entire Civil Hiearchy; thus while the Viceroy enjoys a governing administration of a System, the true influence and status goes to the Duke.

Military

The military is nominally under the direct authority of the Head of the Military, who is appointed by the Emperor. The truth is usually more complicated and varies according to the situational politics of the day.

MILITARY AGENCIES: The Blades of Saedar nominally fall under the command of the ITA.

The Imperial Militia are conscripted term-servicemen, either Citizens or Drones, at a nominal strength of 2% of the planetary populations. Their training level is lower than that of the Imperial Regulars, who are volunteer soldiers. Equipment differs between the two; Militia are often used to quell minor uprisings and serve as emergency police services, and generally use lighter equipment for that purpose.

The Planetary Defense Forces make up the entirety of the ITN. Any ships not directly assigned to permanent defense of a planet are dumped in the ITN pool and not organized into any specific service branch, but used as supplements depending on local pirate activity.

1. Any person who wishes to become a citizen of the Greater Trostian Republic must apply through the Ministry of Interstellar Migration (Proposal 9, Item 2).

2. Any person who wishes to revoke their citizenship is subject to confiscation of their personal possessions, particularly pieces of technological or military nature (Proposal 10, Item 1).

3. Citizenship to the GTR is not obtainable by birth alone. To become a citizen, the owners of the child must register it (Proposal 9, Item 3) or the person must register himself.

Restricted Military Areas include, but are not limited to: Military States and Newly-discovered planets and systems on the GTR's borders. Restricted Technologies include, but are not limited to: Shield Generation, Dark Matter Weaponry, Meson Weaponry, Biological Weapons.
