## INTRODUCTION

The Imperial Suns of Kodur or simply the Empire of Kodur is the state of the Ghezsamir people a humanoid warrior species that originated from the planet Kodur. Located in the Selten galaxy located in the cloud of stars called Crimson Realm. This Empire is nothing more than the union of the Ghezsamir Clans unified by Emperor Tulios Warroth. The Khotur title equivalent to the Emperor. The emperor is the ultimate authority, possessing absolute powers, but in the years before the existence of his empire, the Emperor had no power, an emperor was only a religious symbol, the state's sovereignty was exercised by the Nasgur (who means Warlord).

In the pre-FTL ages the Ghezsamir were considered a Barbarian people. However, the Kodur Empire have an extremely complex society that was based on a feudal system organized around the Imperial Houses of noble lineage, to which several parts of the population owed allegiance, but these houses were vassals of the Legitima house of the imperial crown, that is, vassals of the Emperor, these houses are represented in the Kodur High Council led by an elected Lord, men traditionally dominated public life in the Empire, assuming major roles in politics and the army with only rare exceptions.

The Empire also has the high council that survived the restoration of Emperor Tulios Warroth and the turbulent early years of the Empire, thus retaining some administrative powers and political prestige that it held before the restoration, although it did not have enough political power to oppose the emperor's will . The empire expanded its territories, coming close to the frontiers of the galactic center of Aoshtai, conquering territories in the galactic sector of The Reach. But due to internal conflicts, the empire fell into decline, and now the empire has become a mere shadow of what it really was in the distant past.

## GOVERNMENT

The Empire of Kodur has a system of government based on its complex feudal society, which is an absolute feudal monarchy the Khotur (Emperor) owned the imperial houses as vassals, and also exercises absolute power until his death, after that the crown is given to the crown prince, while the Khotera (Empress) has only symbolic powers representing the unity of the people, and the emperor is power was considered to have divine origin. In the pre-FTL ages Kodur was ruled by an emperor who had no power his title was basically a religious symbol, the emperors were almost always controlled by external political forces. According to Kodur historians' report, the first emperor founded the Kodur feudal government before the space age precisely in the era equivalent to the beginning of the Middle Ages because they believe that the emperors of that era are "legendary" as there is not enough material available to check and study their lives.

The emperor began to exercise political powers after the Restoration, it was the overthrow of the warlords' government that refers to a series of transformations in the theocratic regime of the government of Emperor Tulios Warroth, and the changes took place in the areas of government, institution, education and economics and with this humble beginning the Empire of  Kodur was born. The Emperors of the current Empire of Kodur reserve powers that before the Restoration were the responsibility of the warlord, such as the right to declare war, ratify treaties and negotiate with foreign leaders, in the early years of the empire the death of an emperor caused a period of uncertainty and crisis. The new emperor should guarantee loyalty to the Empire to stabilize the political landscape.

### High Council

The council is characterized as an aristocratic oligarchy led by an elected Lord who is chaired by the Khotur (emperor), to make decisions, the High Council works on a majority voting system, the members put forward proposals and the entire council then indicates that supports or opposition. The High Council also advises the Khotur on the issues facing the empire.

The high council was also responsible for administering the empire's provinces in the event of war, if a lord and his military forces were able to annex enemy territory, he could keep that territory in the name of the emperor, but in fact the territory belonged to the imperial crown since the lord and vassal of the legitime imperial house, the house of Warroth. According to Article 31 of the High Council, for an annexed territory to become a province, it was necessary to carry out an inventory of star systems within those provinces and a population census. The administration then kept several records, including births and deaths, property transactions and legal procedures. The provinces were administered by the imperial houses and the star systems were governed by a governor elected by the people, with a 5-year term.
