Triumvirate

## Trissir Triumvirate

Example

The **Trissir Triumvirate**, or simply **Triumvirate**, is an interstellar empire made of multiple asteroids, planets, moons and star systems located in the inner scutum-centaurus arm. It is an expansionist technocracy ruled by triumvirs, three individuals that rule over different aspects of government.

It was formed hundreds of years after the destruction of the trissir home planet. Its official birth is marked by the construction of Neoxaminis, its capital.

The Triumvirate's exploration of space focuses primarily on the extraction of natural resources, focusing their reach to barren terrestrial planets, moons and asteroids rich in materials, aiming to establish asteroid mines and mining colonies.

The Triumvirate has made great advancements in the fields of cybernetics, biomechanics, prosthetics, bionics, robotics and artificial intelligence. It makes extensive use of robots and mechanized alien life.

## Politics

The Triumvirate is a decentralized unitary state and a technocratic constitutional triarchy with oligarchical elements. The position of head of government is split between three individual rulers, or triumvirs, which act together in the exercise of executive power. Each triumvir holds similar amount of power but over different aspects of the Empire's inner workings.

The three triumvirs roles are:

* Triumvir **Ascella**: head of security and armed forces, responsible for the administration of law enforcement and surveillance. The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Military.
* Triumvir **Hamal**: head of foreign relations and infrastructure, oversees diplomatic matters and the extraction and distribution of natural resources.
* Triumvir **Ogmio**: head of education, science and technology, coordinates scientific research and development of new technologies while also managing healthcare and education.

Triumvirs are elected from a pool of candidates made up of trissirs already in administrative positions, by an algorithm in a central computer network. Rather than political affiliations and popularity, they are selected on the basis of performance and specialized knowledge on the fields these positions are focused on.

### Trissir Space and Regions

The triumvirate defines every area of space within a given radius of its established colonies as *Trissir Space*.

Trissir space is politically divided into groups of star systems called Regions, overseen by *Governors*. Each individual star system is in turn overseen by a *Stellar*, who coordinates action amongst all colonies in the system.

Colonies are commanded by *Viceroys*, and are further divided into Disctricts, groupings of individual cities, headed by *Superintendents*. Asteroid mines are commanded by a Foreman; settlements in asteroids aren't grouped into Districts due to scale. The one who manages a settlement, city, or town is called a City Manager.

## Culture

The triumvirate has a very homogenized and utilitarian culture.

Mainly spacecrafts are used as living spaces. Most citizens have little leisure time, spending most of their time performing their jobs.

Around 4 million trissirs are born every earth hour.

Everything, ultimately, is “owned” by the state, and everyone works for the state.

## Timekeeping

### Trissir Galactic Time

Trissir Galactic Time is the time standard used by the Trissir Triumvirate. As its name implies, galactic time is used throughout all trissir space. It is based upon a time interval called a *tick* which equates roughly to a second. Every 60 ticks marks a minutes, and in turn, every 60 minutes marks an hour.

### Trissir Calendar

The trissir calendar is the calendar used in the Trissir Triumvirate. It is descendant from a calendar based on the orbit and rotation times of the trissir homeworld as well as its seasons.

The calendar is comprised of 8 blocks (analogous to months) of 32 *cycles*, divided equally between two *seasons*: winter and summer; together, the seasons make up a single *rotation*, the equivalent to a year.

* A cycle is made up of 32 hours.
* A block is made up of 32 cycles (~42 days).
* A Season is made up of 256 cycles (~170 days).
* A Rotation is made up of 512 cycles (352 days).
