The Tarassian Union is an emerging star nation within Sector A1-0. For thousands of years it held a strong policy of isolationism, but recently has taken steps away from this harsh stance. Its form of government is unique in the sector as the star nation is run entirely by the military. The military has taken over all governmental functions and as a result there are no longer clear distinctions between civilian and military institutions. This pared with the martial culture of the Union's population, has lead to the Tarassian Union being among the most powerful military faction of Sector A1-0.

Etymology

Tarassian is derived from Tarassia, the capital of the Union and the homeworld of the founding species, the Tarassians. Tarassia means the "land of the brave" in Tarassaka and thus Tarassians mean the "brave people". While the Union was founded by the Tarassians and bears their name, its citizens aren't just Tarassians. They refer to themselves as "Citizens" or "citizens of the Union". This is an inclusive term representing their martial and tiered society. This naming convention dates all the way back of Strategos Sakir J'Dir's Martial Reforms.

History

Pre-FTL

Before the Tarassians left their homeworld, they evolved from a large porcupine species. Once they began to walk on their back legs, evolution had its way and they evolved to have opposable thumbs. From those early days, the Tarassians had a martial culture emphasizing fighting prowess. They began to use their quills, which fell off after some time, as weapons and tools. These quills would eventually form the basis of Tarassian melee warfare: shield and spear weaponry. Tarassian arms are slightly shorter compared to other humanoid species. As a result, their range and swiftness for sword fighting is suboptimal and the Tarassians have ever since preferred spears over swords. The ancient Tarassian became proficient with these weapons and primitive tribes banded together. Th early Tarassian nations often fought against one another as they rendered their natural predators obsolete. While many would see infighting as an obstacle to progress, the ancient Tarassians viewed this differently. They saw it as their way to make progress. Little documentation survived the centuries, though Tarassian histories agree that the Tarassians had three Bronze Ages with two of them succumbing due to unkown reasons. Some say it was due to interstellar interference or climate change

Centuries went by and the Tarassian thirst for combat fuelled their quest for new technologies. In a fairly rapid societal development, the Tarassian spent only 700 standard years from their bronze age to planetary unification. Their weapons reflected their philosophy of honourable warriors. Instead of actively trying to kill each other, Tarassian focus laid with disarming and wounding their enemies so that they might fight another day and beat the again. This way of fighting is an oddity within the Sector and has never been recorded anywhere else on such a large societal scale.

Tarassian Stratocracy

After a series of planetary wide wars, the Tarassians unified together in a federation where the most honourable leaders of each nation ruled in a council. Honour was dictated by a codex and trials by combat were common practices for multiple applications. In their search for new challenges, the Tarassian Stratocracy researched ways to travel the stars. This led to the discovery of Hyperspace and the Ziltos sit Tarassia (Zeal of Tarassia) was the first spacevessel capable of FTL-travel. Slowly but surely, the Tarassians began to explore star systems close by. They colonized their first world of Criton, Gharvon, Porillim and Joumissim which would later form the Tarassian Cluster. Disputes over rules and quarrels were dealt with trials by combat even to those days. For the next hundred years the Tarassian slowly expanded their dominion until they finally clashed with neighbouring species.

The Oknori and Feesi Republics were also star faring nations by the time the Tarassian made contact with them. This proved a new opportunity for the Tarassians who indulged into wars with them. For the coming century, all three parties would fight against each other in the War of a Billion Tears. All parties propagated a xenophobic and supremacist agenda in their governments. The Tarassian Stratocracy would be put under the leadership of the first Warrior-King Ser B'Sirim who managed to conquer both Onkori and Feesi Republics. He lead the Tarassians into a Golden Age where the Tarassians ruled over their subject species with an iron grip. After the Warrior-King's death, the Onkori and Feesi staged major rebellions. During these Wars of Prestige, the Onkori and Feesi would adopt Tarassian way of warfare and gain the admiration of the Tarassians. The Onkori and Feesi had proven their fighting prowess and the Warrior-King Bor B'Sirim would grant them all equal citizenship and put an end the the Tarassians' oppressive nature. From then on, everyone was equal to a Tarassian if they proved their worth in combat. Further cementing the Tarassian belief that conflict makes progress.

The Incursion War

After the Second Golden Age, the Tarassian Stratocracy would face one of its most ruthless enemies yet. The Ryccian Empire was in an era of turmoil where Imperial Pretenders arose and claimed the Imperial Throne for themselves. The alien dominated western parts of the Empire rebelled against the pretender. As a means to find new resources and fuel the Reformist war machine, Viceroy Scipio Cassius Ferrius Virtutius Bluerose Charlein, the Duke of Velpus, lead an incursion into Tarassian space as a way to claim new territories for resources. However, the Tarassian Stratocracy resisted and this let to all out war. The Ryccian ships obliterated Tarassian vessels in space combat, but formed significant resistance on the ground, drenching the Ryccians into a bloody war on Tarassia itself. This war was so brutal that the Warrior-King's family was killed off along with 60% of the planet's population. Strategos Sakir J'Dir would mount an enormous Task Force to attack Duke Bluerose Charlein's fleet. In the Battle over Gharvon, Strategos J'Dir personally boarded the flagship of the Duke's second in command, Admiral Boldan. The Tarassians had adapted their warfare to primarily use boarding parties in this battle as their ships' weapons barely did damage to the Ryccian ships. While the battle had been won, it was by far the bloodiest naval battle in Tarassian history. Strategos J'Dir executed the Ryccian Admiral and with the Imperial pretender attacking their core territories, the Ryccian Reformists were forced to retreat. The Incursion War had proven a giant failure of resources and manpower for the Ryccian Reformists. Tales of Tarassian legends and myths have been obscured over the years and the conflict has been largely forgotten by the Ryccian Empire.

Martial Reforms

With the nation left in shambles and Tarassia itself scarred, the nation fell into a vacuum of power. Surprisingly, Strategos J'Dir used his forces to secure control of the nation and instigated a military coup. Tarassians, Onkori and Feesi alike yearned for a strong leader that might rebuild their nation and J'Dir fit that description most excellently. J'Dir would become the "Father of the Union" and enact the Martial Reforms. The Tarassian Stratocracy reformed itself into the modern Tarassian Union. J'Dir wanted name it the Glorious Union as a way to include the other species, however they would settle with the new tiered citizenship which allowed everyone to become the Commander of the Union. To honour the Tarassian which had effectively made the Union and its core principles, the name Tarassian Union stuck.
The major aspect of the Reforms was that the military took over responsibilities of government. Tarassians, Feesi and Onkori, all swore their new allegiance to the Union and vowed to never again allow an invader go unpunished again. Mandatory military service was introduced and only those who actually completed it, became full fledged citizens. From that day on, the union's Citizens would always follow the new Jen'Tarsai or Path of Glory, which stipulated how a good Citizen lives and acts. The Jen'Tarsai would become the core doctrine of the Union and decide its modern form and policies. This Jen'Tarsai is however based upon the scriptures of a mysterious tomb revealed during the Ryccian bombardment.

Cleansing Wars

As the Union expanded southwards, the Union was faced with nomadic tribes of pinkish skinned humanoids. These would later be revealed to be the Qraunsil Zeltrex Tribe, a pleasure seeking nomad fleet. The Zeltrex continued to enter Union space despite them firing upon their vessels as a warning. The Union was faced with only one option as the Zeltrex continued to violate their space, an offensive. Rallying behind a defensive cause, the many citizens of the Union fought multiple wars against the Qraunsil Tribe. The Union Navy would also mobilize its newest ships made from re-engineered Ryccian technology, proving a new way of proficient warfare for the union. The Cleansing Wars would take over 5 standard years and it would end at the Battle of Dissadia. The Union would face the last Zeltrex remnants near the paradise world of Dissadia, which the Zeltrex used as a temporary vacation spot. It was a resounding victory for the union as no Zeltrex survived the battle and Dissadia was claimed as new world for the Union.

Shimon and Finton Border Skirmishes

Even more centuries passed and the Union had expanded a lot since the Cleansing Wars. However, it would once again be facing a new foe. Mysterious ships made incursions into the newly claimed Finton and Shimon Territories. The Tarassians used frequent border patrols, a tradition standing to this day, to solidify their domain. This sometimes lead to Drakari ships trying to initiate contact, but the Union feared another incursion like the Ryccians once did. In their fear, they destroyed nearly all Drakari scout ships. Never engaging in any form of communication with them. The Union didn't want to commit to another war as the new Territories were in their initial colonization phase and not proper logistics were in place. Sometimes these skirmishes would lead to larger ships groups to face each other off. But as soon as the Drakari realized that the Union won't attack their territory and their stiff no diplomacy policy, the Drakari ceased to send any more ships to Union territory and no further skirmishes have been noted ever since. The skirmishes only lasted one standard year, but remain in the Union's memory as a warning sign.

End of the Slumber

With the newly elected Tarassos Gor D'Kut, a young prodigal military commander, the Union has began a new era of exploring beyond the Union's borders. Small squadrons and Flotillas have begun to travers their border and scan the star nations surrounding to assess their strength. The Union has slowly shifted from a purely defensive stance, to a more pre-emptive stance. This recent shift has given the T'Latos Order, the military intelligence agency, to new levels of importance as they must process the collected data and report to the J'Tarassa Council. Whether the Union will wage war in the near future remains to be seen, though they won't step away from their defensive nature. Perhaps they will step back from a complete isolationist policy. But for now, they remain a closed society and ever vigilant of what might lay beyond.

Astrography

A map showing the 10 Mandates of the Unions split up into Oversectors.

The Tarassian union is a fairly large star nation to the north of Sector A1-0. It borders the Ryccian Empire and Drakari Celestial Imperium. It has been slowly expanding its realm for thousands of standard years. The Firron and Shimon Mandates are the newest addition to the Union as they have been colonized roughly ~500 standard years ago. This means that not all Mandates are as well developed. The Union Core (Tarassia, Onkor, Feesa and Dissadia Mandates) is the most developed regions while the newer Fringe Mandates (Firron and Shimon Mandates) are still in the process of colonizing planets.

Mandates

Mandates form the largest administrative zones in the Union. In some ways they act even as states as they often focus on certain aspects. The Tarassia and Feesa Mandates for example focus on financial sectors to sustain the Tarassian economy, while the Fringe Mandates actively mine raw resources to fuel the Tarassian war machine. This difference in focus has lead to unequal wealth distribution. This has however changed overtime and the wealth is distributed in such a way that it is spread equal to Union population in relations to the Mandate.

Each Mandate is governored by an Archon who's primary duty is to defend and impose laws made by the J'Tarassa Council. Each Archon holds absolute authority over its Mandate and cannot be overruled by anyone except the Tarassos. The citizen population also has no rights to start unrest or even protest publicly. If the population have constraints about policies, they can relay them to their local planetary administrators. This seemingly apolitical landscape is accepted by the Union population who view it as their duty to obey commands.

To help the Archon govern his Mandate, it is split into multiple Oversectors. Each Oversector is ruled by a Jaz'Moff who like the Archon, holds absolute power over his region and sometimes can overrule high military officers like the Strategos. However these Oversectors are again divided into Sectors and Sector Clusters, each ruled over with an iron grip by the Cas'Moff and Pentarch respectively.

Politics

Political life in the Union is bound by military service. There is no longer a clear distinction between the two and with the tiered citizenship, certain ranks need to be achieved before one is even allowed to run for public office. Political parties are also non existent in the Union. Every citizen is expected to swear loyalty to the Union directly and obey the Chain of Command at all times. This apolitical systems has worked with for the Union population who is drilled from birth to follow the Path of Glory. Executive and legislative power are always taken together in public offices to ensure maximum effectiveness which is highly regarded by the Union's population. The Union's population no longer has the concept of what a political party or an extensive bureaucratic system is. They view any other form of government as sluggish and inefficient, especially the ones with civilian oversight.

There are however socialist tendencies in the Union. The wealth generated by the Union is distributed in such a way that every Resident Citizen gains the same amount of money to ensure their survival. If one wants to improve their standard of living, they must do so through the military. This is the embodiment of Union political belief. Everything must be in service to the military who in turn serves the people at large. The Union's populace however sees it as a part of the Path of Glory and frown upon being called anything but a loyal and obedient citizen.

J'Tarassa Council

The J'Tarassa Council is the legislative and executive body when it comes to governing the Union. These members are the most highly regarded individuals throughout the Union. The Council consists of 11 members. Each Archon of a Mandate and the Tarassos. The function of the Tarassos varied throughout history. It began as a special title for Strategos Sakir J'Dir who wished to be only the first among equals. This has however changed over the thousands of years, if not every so slightly. The Tarassos now holds superior authority over any other Archon and is entrusted with 15% of the votes within the Council. This high number reflects the importance of the Tarassos' decision making responsibility and must guide the Council to make new laws and doctrines. Their opinion is attributed such importance, that it has become normal for the Council to make unanimous decisions. To declare war however, only a simple majority is needed in the J'Tarassa Council. The Tarassos serves a term of 14 standard years and usually former Tarassose retire directly after their term as they usually are of an old age when elected. While they aren't prohibited to run for a second term, it has become a rule to only run once. Only in times of great peril or may it be even able for the Tarassos to run again. If the Tarassos is rendered unconscious or is unavailable, the Archon of the Dissadia Mandate becomes Tarassos.

The 10 Archons form the majority of the J'Tarassa Council. They are responsible to rule and effectuate their decisions in their respective Mandates. Contrary to what some might believe, the Archons have a delegating function and don't actively govern an Oversector themselves. Their terms are only 12 standard years long, but often are quite active in their Mandates. It depends on the individual if they pay a lot of attention, but most want to do their best for society since they finally are in a position to do so. In many ways they are the face of their Mandate and do their best to fulfil their job.

Tiered Citizenship

Since the Martial Reforms by Strategos Sakir J'Dir, the focus of the Tarassian Union has become to defend the Union. To ensure a competent and flexible leadership, a new system of tiered citizenship was introduced. The military had already take control from the civilian government during the Incursion War and so it was easy to introduce these reforms. The complex tiers of 22 different citizenships forms the basis of political rights for every Union citizen. The higher the tier, the higher the honour and respect associated with the individual. The higher one's tier, the more power they have as lower tiers must obey except for in immoral cases.
Contrary to what some might believe, not every citizen wants to raise to the top of the command chain. Most citizens are happy in their position where they often stay for life. Outsiders often view this as stagnant, but the citizens themselves see this as way for balance. Remaining in a certain tier is viewed as knowing one's limitations and honourable within Union society. Their corresponding voting power applies everywhere, even in voting for non-military affairs like in boards of corporations or within the family.

There are different categories of citizenship and each have their own limitations and benefits.

Military

The Tarassian military is a vast fighting force and renowned for its size and efficiency that consists of 2,2% of its total population. 600 million serve in the Navy on the 625.000 ships. 1,8 billion serve in the administrative branch and 1,2 billion in the research branch. 6,25 billion serve in the army and 3,8 billion to support it of which 800 million serve as pilots. The true size of the military is in fact far larger because of mandatory service. Nonetheless, the Tarassian military not only serves to protect the Union's military, but also provide education and infrastructure to the Union. The transportation of goods is also overseen by the military. No part of Tarassian society is left unchecked by the military. Although the military is divided into two branches, the upper command chain is fused and tied to the administrative branch. This is to ensure that all regions of the Tarassian Union have protection. When Tarassian Oversectors are attacked, the local military forces will try to contain it. If they are overwhelmed, they will call for aid by the Union at large. This defence in depth is the core doctrine of the Tarassian military. The Tarassian military is isolationist and aims to defend the Union. The mTarassian military is hostile against any intruders in their territory and will stop at nothing until they are defeated.

T'Latos Order

The intelligence agency of the Union is the T'Latos Order. This Order collects information of all citizens such as a teeth at a young age as a first trial of sacrifice to the Union. It is often joked that the Order knows what each Citizens eats for dinner. Members of the Order are very efficient in their job and use delicate techniques to gain information. The T'Latos Order answers only to the Tarassos and serves to some extent as a policing force for ideology. Each ship has a member of the T'Latos Order who supervises Jen'Tarsai ideology in members of the military. They are seen as the ones who uphold honour in the Union and are responsible for news within the Union. It is yet unkown how the T'Latos Order will act towards outsiders, though they will likely use the same delicate techniques they use on their own people

Economy

The Union's economy is highly reminiscing of that of a socialist state. Wealth is redistributed towards all Resident Citizens so that they gain the same amount of money to ensure their survival. Private companies do exist, but they accept the taxes as they see it as a part of the Jen'Tarsai. Roughly 40% of profit is taxed and then invested into the military, education and other institutions. Subsidization on companies rarely happens as it is perceived that if they fail, the Citizens of the Union have no interest in it. Marketing campaigns rarely happen and the Citizens rely on verbal communication of their clients to broaden their market. Because of the military influence, most companies use retired military equipment to run their businesses and advertise themselves as true Citizens.
