Promethean
|
The
Promethean Confederacy consists of two rebellious
factions that managed to separate themselves from the Andrium Kingdom
after a long civil war. By aligning themselves together, and with the
help of powerful crime lords within the kingdom, this Confederacy was able to
topple the existing regime - but was unable to replace it. The
resulting aftermath of the civil war left two distinct governments, the
Prometheans and the Andrium, (who control the original homeworlds of the
Kingdom and have attempted to maintain what remains of the former
government). In the years following
the civil war, the Prometheans at first tried to make peace with the Old
Kingdom and its Andrium rulers - but that effort was met with hostility. The
Andrium wanted no part in what they saw as criminal activity and
blood-thirsty anti-nationalism. Although no large scale wars erupted within
the first few decades after the separation - conflicts happened frequently in
the form of border skirmishes and pirating, which led to both main sides
considering each other untrustworthy aggressors. Within the Confederacy the government is
operated much like a democracy with both factions having equal power. One
faction consists of the labour unions; the other represents trade unions and
business owners - each faction being necessary to continue the well being of
the Confederation, which through its business dealing has become quite
wealthy. Even the lowliest worker within the Confederation makes an above
average wage. Militarily the
Prometheans are a strong force which could probably take over the Old Kingdom if it weren't for the need of defensive
fleets along the eastern borders to protect against the Daetharians and the
Za'Cahri - both of whom send harassment vessels into Confederate space.
