Novayan East Indies

The Novayan East Indies (Spanish: Indias orientales novayanolas; German: Novayanisches Ostlinden; Filipino: Silangang Indiyas ng Novaya) were the overseas territories of the Novayan Stellar Commonwealth in the Aegialeus galaxy starting from Eon-U 4SB9586, governed for the Novayan crown from Novaya IV and Meridian III through the military governorate which ruled Aegialeus IV.
These territories were ruled through a military occupational authority initially, before it was later transformed into a military governorate after colonization efforts and governmental reorganization. After the fall and later dismemberment of the Aegialean Empire, the Novayan East Indies would be ruled from Novaya IV both directly and indirectly. Its territories included the Aegialeus core (where the Aegialeus oversector is located at), Valzardes quadrant, Malkriv region, Zelgari region, Quelriones region, and Lronmakis quadrant. Aegialeus III was the first seat of government, which then moved to Aegialeus IV at the behest of Constantine I's Novayan colleagues.
As a result of the Novayan intervention in Alpha Asteropaios, the loyalist remnants of the Aegialean Empire gathered at several locations in the Aegialeus galaxy to continue its stubborn and arrogant yet futile and ineffective war against the para/technologically-, thaumaturgically- and militarily-superior Novayan forces, while disillusioned remnants regrouped into a few oversectors, sectors or star systems to start anew.
==Organization and society==
===Administration===
The East Indies empire/governorate was administered and formed upon Novayan colonial principles, incorporating elements of the Novayan military and bureaucratic government and some elements of the former Aegialean aristocracy. The Governor-Militant of the Novayan East Indies was assisted by a council, consisting of the various captains and bureaucrats, the Podestate of Novaya and his eight-member council. This council had a major voice in the governance of the realm, especially in periods of regency.
The East Indies was led by the Governor-Militant, who was made military governor and military dictator of the overseas territories. Under the governorial regime, the administration would adopt a bureaucratically-organized structure where the Governor-Militant is at the top of the pyramid; below him were the captain-generals and the governor-generals; and below them in turn were the captain-majors and magistrates, captains and prefects, and lastly lieutenants and judges.
While the East Indies is ruled by a military governorate, it is in reality a stratocratic state under a military dictatorship where the Novayan East Indian civil-military bureaucracy have full reign over the once hubristic, decadent and vain Aegialean Empire. This is best seen when Novayan East Indian troops - both Novayan and Novayano-Aegialean (or Novayanized Aegialean) - confronted Aegialeans who sought to return to the old glory days; the Novayan East Indian troops' mere presence were simply enough to dissuade any and all forms of rebellion, while the use of slavery, executions, suppressions and genocide is banned even among Novayan East Indian units.
Under the Constantine military administration, the civil-military bureaucratic system operates with an administrative hierarchy.

===Economy===
The dismantlement and colonization of the Aegialean Empire had seen the imperial economic administration replaced in favor of an all-Novayan economic administration set up by Constantine I. Aegialean corporate entities which holds power over their lessers were ultimately subordinated to the whims of the Novayan East Indies' government, forcing them to adapt or lag behind; those that attempted to escape would be raided by Novayan forces, which then seized their corporate and economic assets before transferring said assets to all-Novayan teams sent to take over.
===Society===
:See here: Culture of the Novayan East Indies
After the dismemberment of the Aegialean Empire, Novayan forces took swift control of large swathes of the fallen empire and established military regimes that would be consolidated into captaincies and governorates under the military governorate itself. The elite of the Novayan East Indies were the Novayan and collaborationist Aegialean (also known as Novayano-Aegialean or Novayanized Aegialean) military officers, headed by the Governor-Militant, the commanders and the bureaucrats, including many former Aegialean aristocrats. The bulk of the people were Aegialeans, some Novayans and several Novayanized Aegialeans, still divided according to the Novayanized Aegialean system in income classes based on land ownership but fully supported by multiple social welfare programs.
===Military===
The Novayan East Indian military consisted of Novayan military forces as well as Aegialean military units raised or impressed to serve as either auxiliaries, reserve units or active-duty troops after the military intervention. Due to the nature of the East Indies, the Novayan military had established an ordered stratocracy that was utterly backed by a locally-developed pro-Novayan martial siblinghood and a Novayano-Aegialean admiralty. At the present the Novayan East Indian military consisted of the East Indian Army and Navy, which were tasked with not just ensuring peace, stability and order in the East Indies but also act as a deterrent to any of the Aegialean remnants formed from the empire's dismemberment.
The Novayan East Indian military, aside from performing border patrol and security and overseas military operations, also assisted the colonial gendarmerie and Judgment Corps with maintaining order and stability. This was best seen in worlds that were hotspots for pro-imperial activities such as the capital world of Aegialeus IV, where law enforcement officers and colonial gendarmes were backed by military battalions tasked with breaking up pro-imperial groups, especially those espoused by the rather conservative and reactionary elements of former Aegialean nobility and barred clergy who sought to restore the imperial state.
It was to be noted that, unlike the rest of the Novayan Stellar Commonwealth or other nations, the Novayan East Indies is one of only few (or rather, the only one) nation that utilize rather unique and exotic military equipment and troop types when it comes to warfare. According to interviews with military officers from both the East Indies and the Aegialean remnants as well as eyewitness accounts, the Novayan East Indian military had adopted different troop attachments to help reduce the casualties Novayan East Indian troops had received while at the same time inflicting heavier casualties on their enemies. The troop attachments mentioned were listed on this box.
