House Name: Lyseli
Location: Left side of the left continent
Region name: Lyselum
Population: 500 million beings
Motto: “Ancient is our Power”
Colors: Blue and Silver
History: The Lyseli family claim their heritage to date back to the captain of the Starward Destiny when it crashed on Gylif thousands of years ago. Due to the many conflicts and the rise and fall of different civilizations and governments on Gylif, this claim is difficult, if not impossible, to authenticate. Nevertheless, the Lyseli claim as much, and from this derive their motto: “Ancient is our Power.” Their colors are blue and silver, which they also claim are the colors worn by the crew of the Starward Destiny thousands of years prior. The Lyseli built up their kingdom, Lyselum, over a period of 2000 years from 5000 BBY to 3000 BBY, before launching a thousand-year-long war which resulted in the subjugation of the entire planet of Gylif. This was not all achieved through military means, and their methods included diplomacy, marriage, and some less-than-savory actions. For the past two millennia, the Lyselis have ruled Gylif, enduring the ups and downs of ruling a planet and dealing with the oft-times treacherous Court, formed by the former kings of the various provinces of Gylif. They have kept the provinces mostly in check, aside from some rebellions, through deft diplomacy, arranged marriages, a good deal of self-rule in the provinces, and swift reprisals against those who challenge their authority. Because of the necessities of rule, the Lyselis value intelligence, tact, and willpower as some of the most important traits, and value loyalty above almost all else.

Name: Laurent Lyseli
Description:
Gender: Male
Age: 52
Title(s): King of Gylif, the Lord Lyseli, Lord of Lyselum, Ruler of the Planet
Relation within the House: Lord

Personality and skills: Laurent Lysli is a calm, gentle man, a ruler who is as soft-spoken as he is deliberate in thought. Those who would view this as a weakness, however, have found their assumptions to be terribly wrong. While Laurent himself is not a violent or cruel man, he understands that there are certain things that need to be done in order to keep the peace and stability throughout the planet, and so leaves the punishments of those who cross him to his trusted advisors, who are far less concerned with the welfare of whomever is being condemned. Because of this, Laurent has created an image of himself across Gylif as a kind and wise ruler, ever concerned with the well-being of his citizens and the prospering of the realm. He is a skilled negotiator, full of natural charisma and charm, and a smile that can disarm even the most volatile situation. His greatest joy is his children, whom he has a large place in his heart for and to whom he can never deny anything.

History: Laurent was born as the eldest son of Rilen Lyseli and thus from an early age was groomed as the heir-apparent to the throne of Gylif. His lessons began almost as soon as he had learned to walk, beginning with basic customs and courtesies in Court life, and progressing to more academic subjects; the Lords of Gylif were required to be well-educated, of course. While some other children abhorred their studies, Laurent embraced them whole-heartedly, going beyond what was required of him each day and reading at a voracious pace, moving ahead so rapidly in his studies that the Court instructors struggled to keep up with adequate lessons. He finished his advanced-level studies at the age of only 18, several years before his peers, and continued his education on his own, studying anything and everything he could get his hands on. Part of this study included studies in astronomy, astrography, and the histories of the Starward Destiny and the myths of the past, before the ancients had come to Gylif. To many, any civilization beyond the stars was a legend at best, and most had no desire to leave their system’s edges, out of superstition and fear. Laurent, however, saw the stars as holding a wealth of knowledge, and knew that if the tales of the beginnings of Gylif were true, that their ancestors had come from across the stars, where great civilizations lay.

In his twenties and thirties, Laurent became his father’s chief advisor, serving on his Council and dealing with issues ranging from economic to social to political. Rilen knew his son’s skills in these areas and gave him more and more responsibility as time went on, ensuring to groom him adequately for taking the throne. One trait that Rilen began to notice, however, was Laurent’s empathy for his people. While Rilen knew this was an important thing to have for a king, too much in the volatile political climate that was Gylif could lead to his son being taken advantage of in later life. It was not difficult to shield him from such opportunities while he was younger, but Rilen was sure to speak often with his son about the necessities of rule, the darker side of being a member of the royal family, and ensured that Laurent was surrounded by people who would aid him in that side of things when the time came.

When Laurent was 43, Rilen died peacefully in his sleep, and Laurent was crowned the next king of Gylif within the week. He immediately began his rule by declaring things such as minimum wages across the planet and continued over the years with various welfare reforms. While this was well-received by the general populace of the planet, it grew to irk many of the other high lords of the planet, who saw the reforms as infringement upon their long-standing right to self-rule within their own provinces and life without much interference from the crown. In truth, Laurent was in fact beginning his plan on increasing royal power, hoping to eventually strengthen the central government of Gylif in an attempt to launch exploration ships deep into space to explore. As it stood, the royal coffers did not have enough funds to build and finance a voyage deep into space on their own, and Laurent hoped that by strengthening the crown’s power, he could finally realize his dream of reaching beyond their own system and back into deep space.

Nine years later, he has still not yet realized his dream of consolidating power within himself, and while he has passed laws and reforms to attempt to do so, this has resulted more in animosity amongst the high lords than any true changes in power. His Council, including his pragmatic son Tilyr, have warned him against continuing his advances, but the appearance of the ambassadors from the New Republic and the Empire have proven his dreams about the galaxy correct, and only furthered his desire to unite Gylif and do away with the old feudal system that has ruled the planet for so long. He has not yet decided which government to throw his lot in with yet, but knows that in order to throw in with anyone, Gylif must be united in its choice.

Name: Tilyr Lyseli
Description:
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Title(s): Prince of Gylif, Heir Apparent to the Throne of Gylif, Heir Apparent to Lyselum, Lord of the Army
Relation within the House: Firstborn of Laurent Lyseli

Personality and skills: Tilyr Lyseli is a polar opposite of his father, Laurent. Whereas Laurent is quiet, reserved, and slow in judgment, Tilyr is brash, loud, outspoken, and violent. He shares his father’s natural charisma, but it is far more evident in his military status. He is a natural military leader, and has a skill for everything associated with it, from marksmanship to hand-to-hand combat to tactics and strategy. He feels as if he was born in the wrong millennium, longing for the wars of his forefathers rather than the dreary court plays of the current day. He serves on his father’s Council as the Lord of the Army, overseeing all matters to do with the training and employment of the Lyseli forces. He is also a womanizer, loathe to settle down and have a family and instead content to try to conquer as many women as possible.

History: Tilyr Lyseli was born as the first child to Laurent Lysli, and like his father was put through a ringer of courses to prepare him for being the next king of Gylif. Unlike his father, however, he eschewed his traditional academic courses in favor of physical pursuits such as athletics, hunting, and shooting. When he did choose to open a book and study, it was the study of history, particular wars, and books on tactics and strategy. At first, Laurent tried to steer his son away from these subjects into a more rounded educational schedule, but as Rilen began to instruct Laurent on the darker sides of being a king, Laurent knew that the royal family needed people like Tilyr, who in turn would need people like Laurent. Thus, Laurent began to not only allow Tilyr’s obsession with military knowledge, but encouraged it, hiring the best military minds from across Gylif to come to the capital and instruct Tilyr.

At the age of 18, Tilyr began to shadow junior officers within the Lyseli forces to learn small-unit tactics, and as he grew older and showed aptitude at each level of command, he began to shadow officers at increasingly higher levels of command until at age 25 he joined his father’s Council as the Lord of the Army. He has grown very close with his father over the past three years, and privy to his father’s secret desires to consolidate control over the entire planet. For his own part, Tilyr sees his father’s ambitions to truly unite the planet as a way to further his own desires for a true test of combat, perhaps harkening back to the wars of older days. Over the past three years, he has planned and carried out many training exercises against various provinces militaries’, obstinately to promote military unity and sharing of tactics and procedures, but truly to demonstrate the Lyseli’s military prowess and test his own ability against the best that Gylif has to offer. For his part, Tilyr did not disappoint, winning his engagements with other commanders and proving he is a tactical and strategic force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.

Name: Keira Lyseli
Description:
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Title(s): Princess of Gylif
Relation within the House: Second born of Laurent Lyseli, sister to Tilyr Lyseli

Personality and skills: Keria Lyseli, the second child of King Laurent Lyseli, is truly a princess’s princess. She shares many traits with both her father and brother, who themselves are nearly polar opposites of each other. She is kind, gentle, caring, and empathetic like her royal father. Like her brother, however, she is outgoing, outspoken, and unafraid to do what is necessary when things come down to it. She is exceedingly beautiful, and intelligent to boot. She has little trouble playing a traditional Court girl, and to most she appears to be little more than that, a carefully-constructed façade she has cultivated over her teenage and brief adult life. She uses this to her advantage, however, allowing people to underestimate her. While she has not yet had to put this advantage into practice, there may yet come a time when she is required to.

History: Keira was born five years after her older brother, but did not have long to get to know their mother; she died when Keira was only two years old from complications of an illness. Growing up without a mother could have affected Keira negatively, but she latched on to both her brother and her father. Her father adored and doted on her as a child, and continued to much into her teenage years. Her brother and she grew fiercely close in the absence of a mother, and despite their five year age difference often played and spent time together. During her formative years, Keira’s instruction was focused not only on academic subjects, but also how to be a lady of the Court, including all the proper things to say, things to do, and the role she would play as a princess. She absorbed this information well, but did not let it define her, instead beginning to craft two personalities for herself: a Court personality, which was outwardly cheery with a bit of coyness, vulnerability, and innocence, and her true personality which was decisive, firm, strong, and unabashed by the darker sides of royal life.

As she reached her teenage years and became a fully-fledged Court lady in her late teens and early twenties, she quickly became the darling of the Court. Whenever people came to the capital and Keira was in Court, she was often the center of attention second to the King. People loved to love her, and she reveled in the attention, though she was careful not to let it go to her head and affect her true personality. Outwardly, she appeared to be flattered and bashful under all the attention, but inwardly she knew it was building appearances and relationships which she could use and call upon if she ever needed them in the future.

Name: Kane Dunharow
Description:
Gender: Male
Age: 35
Title(s): Lieutenant Colonel, Imperial Intelligence Corps

Personality and skills: Lieutenant Colonel Kane Dunharow is a veteran Imperial Intelligence officer, and has the appropriate skill set to go along with it. A veteran of fifteen years of Imperial service, Lieutenant Colonel Dunharow specialized in infiltration and assassination missions; not carrying them out, as he was an officer, but rather the planning and overseeing of those missions. His time spent as an Intelligence advisor on Coruscant also gave him excellent insight into the political processes of an absolutist state. He is a sly, cunning, calculating man with an excellent eye for opportunity and exploitation.

History: Dunharow was originally born on Kuat to an Imperial-loyal family. He attended the Imperial Academy on Carida, where he was slotted to be an Intelligence officer despite his desire to be a Stormtrooper. However, getting over his initial disappointment, he turned out to excel in the Intelligence field, his natural cunning and eye for opportunity serving him well. One of his most infamous projects to which he was assigned was Operation Vibrowire, a top-secret plan to assassinate the members of Alliance High Command all at once in simultaneous strikes. The Operation, several years in the making, was foiled in 4ABY by the Operation leader defecting, but Dunharow’s work on the project was still noticed and he was commended, being given a position as an Intelligence advisor on Coruscant. During this time he advised many top politicians and bureaucrats. His performance there, as well as his relationships developed with the politicians, aided him in being assigned as the lead ambassador to Gylif. He arrives on the planet eager and ambitious, ready to use his political skills to bring the Empire its newest resource, and use his intelligence skills to ensure his opponents the Republic do not.

Name: Zalmay Holbein
Description:
Gender: Male
Age: 42
Title(s): Ambassador

Personality and skills: Zalmay Holbein is a politician and a bureaucrat, adept at working his way through red tape or creating it if need be. He is an excellent negotiator and is no stranger to the sometimes darker side of politics. Although he is familiar with some of the things done, he is nevertheless an idealist and always believes that there is a defined right and wrong which people should base their actions on.

History: Ambassador Holbein was once a Senator in the Imperial Senate, representing the world of Tyan. When Chancellor Palpatine ascended to power and declared himself Emperor, Holbein’s father was a member of the Delegation of 2000 who dissented and voiced their concerns. Zalmay would later earn his father’s former post as Tyan’s Senator. He used his position in the waning years of the Senate, however, to clandestinely aid the Rebel Alliance and try to curb Palpatine’s power. When Palpatine dissolved the Senate in 0 BBY, Holbein disappeared and went into hiding with the Alliance for protection, and served Mon Mothma and the other Alliance leaders. When Gylif was discovered, Holbein’s experience in the Senate and serving the Alliance, as well as his idealism, were the main reasons he was sent to Gylif to try to bring them into the New Republic.

Name: Bas'jun Dieuwert

Description:

Gender: Male

Age: 64

Title(s): Prince of Wenonia, Lord of The Green Coast

Relation within the House: Head of House Dieuwert

Personality and skills: Bas'jun is a realist first and foremost, a trait ground into him after escaping from his family's manor home to explore the planet. He is also very independent and persistent, encouraging others to be the same. The Prince can also be distrusting of those who are not part of his inner circle, and skeptical even with them. He knows and acknowledges that the criminal underbelly of the world can never be tamed, and tries to work around them as opposed to completely eliminating them. His keen observational skills help him read people, and he's rather handy with a blaster pistol.

History: As a young man, Bas'jun escaped from his family's marble manor home on the Green Coast, hoping to see the larger world. He wandered Gylif for several years, living on the streets and in shoddy motels for most of them, eventually becoming a respected business man in one of their capital's lower quarters. He returned when he learned of his father's deteriorating health, and accepted the title of Prince at his behest.
Since then, Bas'jun has been working to improve the general wealth and economy of his Princedom. Wenonia has sold millions of acres of state-held property to the poor and impoverished, turning it into small farms and turning honest people away from the life he knew in the lower quarters. Although many in his cabinet opposed this move, the Prince nonetheless gave these title-less people the freedom to become self-sustaining, and often a little more. This part of the country, called Freesia, is full of small farms and towns, and is a favorite vacation spot for Bas'jun.
In his middle age, Bas'jun has began thinking about a possible heir, so that he may retire early. He has narrowed his options down to two: His younger brother, Dezmark, and his eldest daughter, Neferati. Both are intelligent and younger than him, but while Dezmark seems eager to rule, Neferati enjoys her freedom and youth. In the meantime, Bas'jun is a well-known and loved by his people, and has a few good years left in his reign.

Name: Dezmark Dieuwert

Description:

Gender: Male

Age: 46

Title(s): Duke of Marju

Relation within the House: Brother to the Prince

Personality and skills: Dezmark Dieuwert is confident and ambitious, hoping to replace his brother on the throne as Prince. The Duke is known to be very resourceful, capable of accomplishing tasks beyond his position should allow. His position as his brother's right hand is undisputed, and all assume he is a shoe in for Prince, as Bas'jun looks for an early retirement. He looks up to his brother, and hopes to be as well loved as him. However, he does have a cold side, capable of ordering executions without hesitance, and his jealousy can get the better of him at times.

History: Dezmark was born shortly before his brother Bas'jun left for the city, and never actually got to know him until he was in his early teens, after he accepted the position of Prince. He and his brother were distant at first, with Dezmark being granted the title of Duke more to appease him than out of any affection. The Duke ran his city well, and when called to court by his brother, would act polite and calm. After a crisis in Marju demanded the Prince's attention, Bas'jun spent some time there with his brother, and it was during this time that they become close.
The Prince invited Dezmark to spend more time in the capital, which the Duke accepted. For nearly twenty years, Duke Dezmark has spent the majority of his time by his brother's side, making contacts with the various aristocrats and minor vassals. Politically, he has made numerous moves, earning the trust-- or taking it through blackmail, of numerous notable people in the Princedom.

Name: Neferati Dieuwert

Description:

Gender: Female

Age: 32

Title(s): Countess of Hensdale

Relation within the House: Daughter of Bas'jun, Niece to Dezmark

Personality and skills: Neferati is a persistent girl, for better or worse. Her stubbornness is well known throughout her family, and she isn't willing to back down when she chooses to go down a certain path. The being said, she isn't the type to walk down a path at any time, and prefers to spend her time in the family manor, reading and enjoying the year-round temperate weather. Above all she desires comfort, and resents her father for often pushing her to explore the world outside her resort city and others like it. She relies heavily on her adviser and vassal, Baron Ghedi Valshaa, a minor noble in a minor family. Her adviser is known for his cunning and inventiveness, and his loyalty to Neferati is utter.

History: Neferati was born several years after her father obtained his title, and lived most of her young life around her nannies and distant family members, who taught her the skills royalty are expected to possess. When she reached her early teens her father decided to begin taking her around important meetings and balls, to mingle and begin socializing, something she enjoyed. However, when her father began pushing her to take more responsibility and finish her grooming to become Princess, she handled the position poorly and failed her duties.
The Countess was disappointed in herself, but this was quickly replaced with anger as her father cut off many of her privileges, and asked her to live a more modest life for a time, so she might better understand fiscal responsibility. However, rather than abide her father's wishes, she stayed with House Valshaa, a small family of land holders in the southern part of the country. After nearly a year away, her father gave in, and allowed her a title as Countess of a distant resort city and asked that one of the Valshaa, whom the Countess trusted greatly, to assist in her affairs. Since then Neferati and her father have been distant, although they are at least cordial with each other.

Description:
Gender: male
Age: 38
Title(s): Head of House Callidum, Arch of the Nine tides, Blessed of the people.
Relation within the House: High Lord of House Callidum.

Personality and skills: Henry is a military man, as all who rule House Callidum have been. He displays all the idealistic images of the military man, concerning himself with honor and justice, being blunt and too the point. However to take him at his image would be a huge mistake. House Callidum have their fingers in everything, their nation is dependent on imports to survive, as you can guess this put undue pressure on House Callidum to ensure these imports do not cease. Henry is cunning and devious and he has to be as leader of the Nine tides, an organisation loyal to House Callidum with the primary goal of infiltrating the other houses. Henry loves his children however he often does not have the time for them, a recurring problem since they were young, he particularly despairs of Kylara who seems to bring scandal after scandal down upon the house. Despite the duplicity of his public image verses his actual self Henry really does value the blunt approach, if he see's that he has the advantage he is bold enough to make the move. He will operate in the shadows or in the open, whatever he see's best.

History: As his parents only child Henry has been taught to rule from a young age, Always placed in charge of group work and his peers when he was young this lead to a growing arrogance in him. However at the age of 16 he was sent to join the infantry as a grunt as all rulers of House Callidum have been, it gives the military a connection the the house and a sort of shared interest, and helps beat any of the nonsense of childhood out of the young heirs. Needless to say after a stint in the infantry did him good, his arrogance was replaced by a calm confidence in himself and those under his command. He was now apprenticed in the Nine tides where he learned of the world of espionage, needless to say he found it fascinating and showed a flair for undercover work, although he was never sent on any particularly dangerous missions and none off island. At the age of 22 His father tragically died in an 'air car accident', that duplicity was involved has been confirmed though the Nine tide still search for the origin of the attack. His mother, distraught was simply not fit for rule, she stepped down and Henry was raised to the position. For the early years of his reign Henry began and continued training for strategical command of military forces relying on advisers to take up the slack in paperwork that he missed in doing so. By 27 he had done all the learning that needed to be done and only practice would improve him, he took full reign of the house and has been ruling fully ever since.

He see's space as an opportunity, there is of course the dream of a Callidum Carrier in orbit demanding the surrender of all other houses but even apart from that the resources and possibilities of expansion are numerous. He has invested in a large space fighter program in the hopes that one day House Callidum might be rich enough to build the full alloy carriers to carry them.

Description:
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Title(s): Heir to House Callidum.

Relation within the House: Daughter to Henry. Heir to the House.
Personality and skills: She has always been possessed of a free will and this was displayed even more so when she broke custom and applied to be a fighter jockey at the age of 14. Although the discussion was a hard one and much discussion was had, it was allowed. Perhaps unfortunately the casual arrogance and disdain for authority that all good pilots show has infected her too. She apprenticed in the Nine tides for 2 years but has since left them, whilst she has a flair for negotiation she doesn't show much passion for it. She spends far too much time with roughs in the capital, seen in bars and clubs all over and involved in brawls and.. incidents she has developed a reputation planet wide. Though perhaps this has garnered negative feelings in some nations in Maridia it seems the people actually like her, seeing her bar crawling ways as her being closer to the people and not some stiff aristocrat. She is most definitely a divisive figure. She enjoys being in your face and some might call rude but despite her unsubtle ways a sharp mind hides behind the partying and you would be much amiss to dismiss her.

History: Mostly listed in the Personality section.

Description:
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Title(s): of House Callidum.
Relation within the House: Daughter to Henry, Sister to Kylara.

Personality and skills: Similar to Kylara but in a more... refined way, she tends to spend her time with more civilized society and scandals have a way of sliding off her, perhaps because all the attention invariantly slips onto her sister. She has a quiet confidence to her and enjoys partying but as I said, she is much more discreet than her sister. Much of her life she has lived in the shadow of her sister, always compared to her sister, sometimes in a positive light, sometimes not, never the less she and Kylara get along famously and have been known to spend a lot of time together. When Kylara joined the star fighter force to appease the army Sam was promised to them, she did her training as a grunt however she wanted to be in space. She transferred to officer training for the space navy and hopes to eventually be promoted to Captain a ship. She has had lesson from the Nine tides but has not been formally apprenticed to them. As with most of the Callidum's if you look past the exterior of calm and diplomatic you may see a wildness bordering on Kylara's level.

History: In the Personality bit.

Description:
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Title(s): None.
Relation within the House: Head of Security for House Callidum.

Personality and skills: Mathew is passionate about his job, competent and very loyal to the Callidum family. He is a force sensitive (A very well kept secret) and the source of all the rumours about the TNT, though he has not had any formal training his reflexes border on precognition. He is a great leader inspiring his troops to the same devotion he shows.

History: He started life in a state orphanage but when he was 7 he threw a temper tantrum in which tables flew across the cafeteria breaking up against the walls, luckily no one was injured. The TNT found him before the church and hid him deep, thus followed a cold war of sorts between the church and the TNT (and thus House Callidum). Though suspicious the church was never able to find any concrete proof that TNT had taken a force sensitive and so could not act openly. Though relations have thawed between the church and house Callidum there is still a strong thread of suspicion pointed at the House. Mathew was trained at Special Forces covert bases and also once the girls were born, spent a lot of time watching over them, eventually being chosen as their bodyguard and then later promoted to head of security for the family. The girls have known him all their lives and get on extremely well with him.

The Maridian Space Navy's official head is Henry Callidum VII himself, however the running and decision making of the navy are made by a Grand Admiral.

MSN strategic protocol calls for heavy fighter/bomber harassment before quick skirmishing engagement from range by fast ships. This protocol is impart enforced due to limitations on the number and tonnage of battleships allowed to be built as stated in the Treaty of Mara (The surrender of House Callidum to House Lyseni).

Roster:
-Alloy Plated Ships:

MS Valiant - Battleship Class - Flagship of the fleet.

5 Fast-Frigate ships.

-Non-Alloy Plated Ships:

MS Majestic - Dedicated Carrier - 60 Star Fighters/Bombers.
MS Triumph - Dedicated Carrier - 60 Star Fighters/Bombers.
MS Illustrious - Dedicated Carrier - 60 Star Fighters/Bombers.

6 Light Carrier ships - 20 Star Fighters each.

5 Pocket-Battleships -Ships designed to take and give a lot of punishment, but avoiding the limited classification of battleship.

7 Frigates.

15 Destroyers.

50 Corvette's (Small ships used for patrol and scouting).

The Maridian Royal Navy has changed much in the years since it's founding. It's name dates back to a time well in the past when Maridia was ruled by a royal family, the navy, conservative to it's core, would balk at any suggestion of a name change.
The dominating strategic relevance of the navy has somewhat diminished with the expansion of the Space Navy and there is definite resentment between the two organisations. Wet navy carriers have become almost redundant in the face of space carriers and such the wet navy is now geared towards supporting land operations logistically and providing anti-aircraft and anti-missile defenses.

Combat Roster:

20 Destroyers

500 Coastal Patrol boats - these vary in size hugely, the largest being just short of a destroyer and the smallest being little more than a dingy with a outboard motor strapped on the back. These are more police and SAR than combat vessels.

[Classified] Nuclear Submarines.
[Classified] Hunter submarines.

The Maridian Army is small and well trained, capable of deploying it's entire active roster anywhere on the planet (with naval assistance) within a weeks notice.

Active Roster:
100,000 'men'

Reserve Roster: 500,000 'men'

Special forces and Marines also fall under Army command, a point of which there has been much inter organisational bickering. (Marines primarily serve on wet or space navy ships but have been known to be deployed alongside ground troops.)

SF troops: [Classified]
Marines: 14,000 'men'

The Maridian Air Force is not what it once was, with the advent of the star fighter/bomber atmo planes have become simply redundant. The MAF therefore has been re-purposed as Star-fighter/bomber command. They run the onplanet and offplanet bases and handle maintenance for the carriers crafts.

Combat Roster:

200 Star fighters/bombers. (In bases on and off planet).

TNT is the only intelligence agency of Maridia, they handle domestic, overseas and now interstellar intelligence operations. It is their policy to have a finger in every pie, to have operatives all over the world and be in position to act should the need arise. It is rumored that TNT have a small cadre of force sensitives that they have hidden from the church, people heard repeating this rumour have been known to disappear.

Specifically targeted for infiltration of a higher degree than the other houses are the:

Lyseli - For obvious reasons.

Dieuwert - Known as an agricultural hub the lands of Dieuwert have a lot to offer Maridia, and the high amount of alloy they posses doesn't hurt. House Callidum definitely has ambitions concerning House Dieuwert, what they might be is anyone's guess.

House Callidum industries is a semi-militaristic company that runs House Callidums asteroid mining and space shipyard. Though it is possible to build ships on planet, House Callidum finds it easier to build them near the resources, in the asteroid belt.

The Treaty of Mara: Surrender of House Callidum to House Lyseli, of relevance are limits to certain military units and a pledge of obedience to the Lyseli. Signed in the capital Mara as a symbol of defeat.
