Foundation of Eimyrja

The Foundation of Eimyrja is currently a small and isolated interstellar empire that concerns itself with the recovery of its people. The Foundation is made up entirely of the Dravinauryn and rogue Silver Plague, and its borders fade at the far reaches of the Eimyrja star system. After the event known as Ragnarokkr by the Dravinauryn and their ancestors, the Foundation has become more inclined to welcome trade between them and other galactic empires for resources in order to support a fast growing industry, and politely avoid any political affairs between empires as a means to evade the possibilities of an intergalactic war. Building fast and strong has become the Foundation’s primary mission. For them, since they’ve made little to no contact to the neighboring systems, to be quiet for now and lay low is to hopefully not be noticed by anyone itching for a fight as they grow.

## Faction Details

Initially, the Foundation of Eimyrja began as a small faction ruled by a hereditary monarchy until the fall of their last queen, Annette Lou Gunvor. Since the Foundation couldn’t produce a relative to Gunvor at the time, the government was rebuilt around an elective monarchy, and made into a galactic empire that currently controls nine planets, three orbital rings, and an armed star station, known as Freelancer. The queen who sits among the Foundation’s chair has full control over this galactic empire, including her court and Superiors. Because Superiors typically act as the administrators of Eimyrja’s orbital rings, and the queen resides on Jotunheim, there is only ever one governor across the court that stands as the head for Midgardr. Other heads in the Foundation’s court includes the four advisors for the queen, for the empires science, economy, military, and of course, finances.

The Foundation was initially founded by Jorgen Fraenir, back during the Founding. Before he turned the throne over to Annette Gunvor at the beginning of the Great War, and his passing, he was considered not only the Foundation’s first ruler, but also the first and so far only recorded male ruler. The Foundation was designed with the mentality that it should always be built by the united people, and that mentality has been carried a long time since the passing of these two first
great rulers. Even with as much change and development that the Foundation has
endured, it was the people who made it what we see today; strong, and without
fear in the face of the unknown void of space.

### Military

The Foundation of Eimyrja contains two branches of military, which are controlled by Superior Generals or Admirals. Each is equally as strong as the other, and plays as two wheels in one major machine in order for the Foundation’s militia to work efficiently and effectively. The Foundation’s military is trained extensively on the Nidavellirian ring of Jotunheim, and each army can be individually controlled by the queen through her Court of Superiors.
