Nothoiin Trade League

The Nothoiin Trade League is the government of the planet Nothoiin in the Greater Javin sector of the Galactic Empire. The Nothoiin Trade League is lead by the Merchant-Prince Bashec Atta who has been elected to the life-long position for several years. The planet of Nothoiin is overseen by an Imperial Prefect and maintains a formal relationship with the Galactic Empire. The people of Nothoiin were formally requested to abolish the monarchy which had the Merchant-King sit at the top of the government, they replaced this position with the Merchant-Prince and the Empire agreed to the compromise. The "legislature" of Nothoiin is the Noble Court and is responsible for the legislative affairs of the planet.

The Nothoiin Trade Fleet is a combined naval trade and defensive force of Nothoiin; the Nothiin Trade Army is the land-based defensive force of the planet as well. Members of the nobility are often awarded commanding ranks within the NTF and the NTA. The Nothoiin Trade Fleet and the Nothoiin Trade Army typically utilize standard ranks for the navy and army, the only note is the placement of "Lord" for those nobles within that rank of nobility.
The Merchant-Prince's Guard is an elite military formation that straddles both the Nothoiin Trade Fleet and the Nothoiin Trade Army and is responsible for the protection of the Merchant-Prince. The Merchant-Prince's Guard is also responsible for the investigation of political and security matters. Guard is the lowest rank, Thunderblade is a senior enlisted rank most comparable to Sergeant in other armies. The Storm Lord is the highest rank of the Merchant-Prince's Guard and is appointed by the Merchant-Prince. The titles date back to the ancient seafaring ways of the Nothoiin people.
