Doramis Monarchy

== Summery ==
== Biology ==
The Doramis are a race of small bipedal saurians who stand roughly between 5'8" and 6'3". Doramis' scales can observed in most colours, but a most commonly seen in green, with a smattering of red across their torso. Most Dorami bear a set of wings, which can span a length of 4-6 feet per wing, as well as a tail. While physically they are incapable of flight, a Doramis' wings are quite tough are can be used as protection in combat, most often used to protect their head or face. The Dorami also share a sense of pride in a larger wingspan, though this is generally specific to youth and immature Dorami. Some smaller Dorami Houses choose to have thier wings docked at birth, usually due to thier specific set of traditions.
== History ==
=== Early History ===
First signs of tribal civilizations found the early Doramis as nomadic warriors tribes, with an emphasis on honour and combat. The strongest warrior of each tribe was often the leader of that tribe, and could be challenged at anytime by another tribal.
Regional tribes often fought among each other, but was not often in the form of a raid or to acquire resources. Tribes supported fighting between each other as a means to hone skills and test the strength of other tribes. After several hundred years of this, many of these tribes came together to form houses, and a similar cycle continued. Each house became unique with its integrated tribes, each with their own subcultures and attitudes. Again, infighting was common.
Battles and wars between houses began as civilization developed, competing to determine the best and strongest house to lead them all. After little success, the house leaders , represented as the strongest warrior of each houses, met for the first time to form the Arena Council, and decided to create the Octegonas Tournament, an arena based competition that would pit the Houses best warriors against each other to determine a true leader (Monarch if you will), which would be advised by the Arena Council. While designed for the best warriors, anyone was allowed to participate in the tournament. The construction of the Octegonas brought the House Clans together for the for the first time in millennia, and fostered immense growth and economic development during this time. The tournament began just as soon as the construction was complete. Within a years time, a victor emerged from the fray, and the Monarchy began.
The Octegonas remained a key cultural component for the Doramis, where regular tournaments were held by the Arena council. Performance could lead to promotions in any aspect of the individual's life. The Arena Council themselves participated in the Octegonas every three years to determine if the current house representative remained or be replaced by a stronger warrior. The Monarch Tournament Occurred once every 15 years, unless the Monarch passed away during this time.
=== Zaretians and Vechtramil Conflicts ===
The Monarchy entered the Galactic community with a strong economy and military, with few surrounding foes. An Octegonas-styled arena was constructed on each of their core worlds, and members of each house flocked to a specific planet to call their own. Integration into the greater galactic community was difficult at first, due to their unorthodox methods and intimidating appearances. Once it was realized that they were a rather competent empire, respect seemed to follow, but also caught the idea of some less friendly empires, namely the Zaretian Monarchy. The Zaretian Attack on Aserai left the Monarchy feeling ashamed and dishonored due to the Nuverian Intervention. Rather than march an offensive of their own, the Monarchy fortified its core worlds to prepare for future assaults.
Shortly thereafter the Vechtramil Directorate launched an offensive against them after the events with the Bulorians. Even with the sudden death of their Monarch, the Doramis were able to completely dismantled the opposition. After the conflict, a new Monarch was temporarily appointed until the dust had settled from the conflict. While the XE-CH Incident had put the Peacekeepers in a bad light due to their association with the Doramis, they still offered them a chance to become a Combatant state as per peacekeeper recommendation, though left the idea of a protectorate state an option as well. The decision to accept the role of a Protectorate state over a combatant was extremely difficult for the Newly appointed Monarch and the Arena Council. While many were eager to fight on behalf of the Peacekeepers, much of the Monarchy's military powers were spent from the recent conflict, and were in no position to fight for the foreseeable future. Despite the protests from several House leaders, the New Monarch ruled in favor of a protectorate state, at least until the empire was back on its feet. In the mean time, They would support the Peacekeepers logistically and economically.
Will elaborate this into more details at a later date

=== Glory in the Octegonas and the Areana ===
The Dorami Houses have guided society since their earliest recorded years, vying for strength and honour, and continue to do so to earn glory in the Octegonas. They are primarily composed of civilian and workers, are are bound to their house by birth. There is the option to challenge your own, or other houses for the right to occupy another house, though this is generally consider dishonourable and thus does not happen very often. Those who challenge must forsake their current house face a set of trials unique to the house they are challenging. These practises are closely guarded secrets among houses. Failure to complete these challenges render the challenger Houseless.
=== Social Heirarchy ===
Doramis Leadership is divided into two catagories, Birthright leadership and Earned leadership. Each are technically governed by their own body, The Doramis Royal family and Octegonas Council Respectively. The Octegonas Council is more respected and carries significantly more weight in political/key government decisions
Octegonas Council: The Octegonas Council(OC) is comprised of a series of High ranking Officers that were once part of the respective Doramis houses, but are largely detached from them. The OC's primary function is to oversee the Doramis Space Corps, which is composed of Octegonas Challengers who surpass all of their trials during the yearly tournament( More on this at a later date). Retired Field Officers can choose to remain consultants for the OC, reintegrate into thier old houses, or become candidates for an OC position when one becomes vacant. Retired Officers generally hold the same weight as Royalty in the eyes of the average Dorami. 
Doramis Royalty: The Doramis Royal Family has fluctuated many times across history, and has been subject to several revolts by its citizens in the past. This has not happened for a very, very long time. The current Royal Family has been in power for an undisclosed amount of time ( I am lazy) with little opposition. Royalty is seperate from the OC, and has substantially less weight in political decisions, but they remain the face of the Empire.
The Royal Family: Unobtainable by anyone unless by marriage. Generally attained through birthright.
Captains and Space Corps Officers: A very exclusive/desirable position with Doramis Society. Very excruciating and long process to complete. Well respected by all of Doramis society, and viewed as the embodiment of the Doramis way, Strong, Honorable and Loyal. Would be extremely disheartening and shocking to the Doramis people if one of these Officers defected. Space Corps has its own set of hierarchy..
House Leaders: Represent each of their Houses on The Octegonas Council. While Formally part of the Space Corps, the OC is all retired officers with field knowledge and experience. They remain "objective" in their decisions with respect to their houses, and largely remain apart from them. (Knights of the Round Concept) 
House Nobility: Appointed House officials by the OC to deal with the political landscape of intra and interhouse relationships. 
House Ambassadors: Essentially diplomats/envoys that are trained to deal with Civilian and House conflict.
House members: All Dorami without any political obligation are considered civilians among thier respective houses.
The Houseless: As the name implies, these Dorami lack a house, either due to failing a House Challenge, or bringing great dishonour to thier house. The Houseless represent the lowest echelon of the Dorami , and struggle to do anything withing the confines of Dorami society. (More on this later)
