Novayan Stellar Commonwealth

The **Novayan Stellar Commonwealth**, also known as the **NSC**, **Norsoutha-Tomoshima Dynasty** and **Norsoutha-Tomoshima Military Dictatorship**, is an extradimensional government that replaced the fascistic Greater Novayan Federation.

Ruled by the Norsoutha-Tomoshima dynasty, the hereditary military dictatorship rose as a result of the Great Sundering inflicted upon the GNF by the Worm-in-Waiting, replacing the pro-human, anti-xeno federation with a groundswell of overwhelming support, resulting in sweeping legal reforms that transformed the GNF into the NSC and capitalizing on pro-coexistence sentiments, diplomacy and (if diplomacy fails) military interventions to put an end to any tyrannical regimes and enlightening worlds.

The NSC stood unchallenged as the sole dominant power in the Void until the discovery of other minor extradimensional nations, especially the Saiyanese Federation, a democratic federation under an aristocratic directory which clung to the old ways before the Celestial Sundering and greatly opposes the NSC. Despite the cold war between the two extradimensional states no war erupted between them.

Today the Novayan Stellar Commonwealth is one of two major players in the Void, the other being the Saiyanese Federation. Led by Grand Marshal Borealis Norsoutha III, the NSC is involved in humanitarian operations and military interventions, with rarely a military invasion against a tyrannical planetary government. In spite of being a hyper-militaristic and materialistic society, the NSC solely relies on a highly-trained, highly-equipped military augmented by AI-equipped robots. In spite of its massive reserve force, volunteer-based military force and a well-oiled military-industrial complex, the NSC only involves itself in planetary invasions targeting totalitarian governments and maintains a net of several subordinate states and a planetary mandate of reconstruction and enlightenment. Due to the need of policing much of the Void and the outer regions, however, the voluntary military service the NSC created saw young men and women, most of them military reservists, deployed abroad outside of the NSC performing peacekeeping operations and humanitarian missions, its forces in the Outer Territories and Outer Regions bolstered by allied local militias, criminal groups, pirates, local volunteers, colonial troops and local police and military forces.

Currently, the Novayan Stellar Commonwealth had a presence in Galaxy Foxtrot-Foxtrot-Alpha, with three colonies and a significant military presence. On orders from Lord Admiral Borealis Norsoutha I, the NSC Armed Forces deployed large number of military personnel and military units to prevent another Sith Order and another Sith Empire from rising.

The Novayan Stellar Commonwealth is a member of the International Union of Void States and Indepol.

## Overview

### Politics

The Novayan Stellar Commonwealth operates under a Despotist (Hereditary Military Dictatorship/Military Junta/Absolute Monarchy)/Paternalist (Stratocracy/Hereditary Military Dictatorship). The Grand Marshal is the *de facto* executive head of state as well as the pseudo-monarch, with the Prime Minister serving as the executive head of government in charge of the government's day-to-day operations. The NSC is the dominant hegemonic hyperpower as well as one of several superpowers of the Void, the others were the Saiyanese Stellar Federation, New Roman Empire, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, International Union of Armanya, and Kingdom of Meriana.

The NSC, contrary to what many believed, is a federal supranational nation consisting of various constituent states. The most notable constituent states were the Kingdom of Gallia, Udmurtian Republic, Saderan Empire, Novikan Republic, Federation of Gatromia and Greater Novayan Empire (full name Greater Novayan Empire of the Novayan Nation), the last of which is the largest and most dominant constituent state. Many historians especially those of the United Nations of Earth and the International Union of Armanya commented that the NSC shared similarities to the German Empire and the Zeitschen Empire.

After prominent members of the Novayan branch of the Free Worlds Movement were elected into many government offices after the end of the Novayan-Saiyanse War, the federal government began cleaning the mess it had accumulated, resolving the issues that had been buried by hardliners, ultranationalists, conservatives and reactionaries to keep the NSC's record spotless and clean. Prior to the end of the Novayan-Saiyanese War and the rise of prominent members of the Novayan branch of the Free Worlds Movement into the federal government, the NSC had a questionably clean record, but a number of skeletons can be found in the closet: the great persecution and deportation of followers of the Old Faiths and dissidents to the Breach Commissariat, the Sorrowing of Kalaidis, and several others.

* The Great Persecution
* The Sorrowing of Kalaidis
The persecution of followers of the Old Faiths, known as the Great Persectuion, is the oppressive and brutal persecution of many Novayan citizens who followed the Old Faiths for "being influenced by the Armies of the Light" (in reality, Novayan Old Faith followers fought against the Armies of the Light) and of dissidents for "being in league with the Old Faiths' followers" (in reality, they oppose the oppressive persecution); the mass deportation of dissidents and followers of the Old Faiths to the newly-established Breach Commissariat.

After the end of the Void-Light War, paranoia, anxiety and worries arose among Novayan circles especially those in the political, aristocratic, religious and military circles that many Novayans who had followed the Old Faiths were compromised by the Armies of the Light who supposedly provided them weapons and orders to shatter the NSC and allow the Second Void-Light War. Fearing their role in shattering the Void, the Novayan government was urged by reactionaries, utlraconservatives, ultranationalists and extreme-rightists to persecute the followers of the Old Faiths regardless of their affiliations. Politicians, military personnel, students, religious leaders and others who followed any of the Old Faiths yet were against the Armies of the Light were arrested as threats to the Novayan state, but those who didn't follow the Old Faiths rose against the unjust persecutions. Protests and demonstrations became violent as clashes between security forces and activists worsened the paranoia, resulting in the persecution being extended to dissidents and other "threats to the nation and the Void". Arrests, prisons and killings were recorded, worsening the situation.

It was only the death of Melquiades, a Roman Catholic archbishop and member of the Roman Catholic Church in the NSC stationed in the Morales Metropolitan Area who was killed at the hands of Novayan security forces when he protected followers of the Old Faiths and dissidents from harm, that saw Admiral Borealis Norsoutha II (who is Military Governor of the Novaya System at the time) in launching an unexpected revolt consisting of Novayan military, paramilitary, law enforcement and militia forces and even volunteers and allies of the Admiral-Governor; the revolt saw people from all walks of life (including fascists, ultranationalists, conservatives, reactionaries and even far-rightists and extreme-rightists) joining in on the revolt. The resulting revolt forced the Novayan government to deport every dissidents and followers of the Old Faiths; of those deported, at least 70,000,000+ dissidents and Old Faith followers remained when the revolt forces mobilized to stop the forced deportations.

The Great Persecution remained unresolved even with Borealis II's demands for a complete resolution due to the Novayan government and political circles refusing out of fear the dissidents and followers of the Old Faiths launching a massive uprising. Due to their fear-induced refusal and downplaying of the events, this gave birth to revolutionary movements which soon banded into the Armeeverband "Freies Novaya" led by Wilhelm Brandt. Also as a result of the Great Persecution, many overly-paranoid military officers demanded that the persecution continue by waging war against all those outside the Void, but their government's sending them to the Breach Commissariat saw the formation of the Old Officers. These had set the stage for the seven-day Revolts of Eon-U 5SB144.The Sorrowing of Kalaidis was the name of the orbital armageddon of the Kalaidis star system and the near-genocide of the Kalaidians, a culture and society known for preferring their freedom due to it being a civil right. The Sorrowing took place during the times of the millennia-long Quenir coronavirus pandemic. Government authorities launched a nationwide lockdown, enforced by law enforcement personnel and augmented by the mobilized Novayan military. Martial laws and curfews were implemented everywhere, with multiple star systems, residential fleets, habitat gigastructures and megastructures, and colonies protesting against the lockdown, though such protests and demonstrations saw face masks and face shields and social distancing being used. The Kalaidians, however, ignored the lockdowns but enjoying the spring and summer breaks.

Novayan authorities implemented harsh penalties for those who violated the orders, but the Kalaidians were undeterred even when the first outbreaks were recorded. In response, police and military forces were deployed to enforce martial laws and curfews, leading to protests and riots occurring throughout the star system. Military and police forces responded by arresting and imprisoning those who violated the rules, leading to many repeatedly blocking roads. This led to the Novayan military and police using force (even lethal force) to make the Kalaidians submit to government authority. The result is a star system-wide riot and protest.

After being unable to stop the Kalaidians from wanting their freedom even during the pandemic (which by the time had seen outbreaks throughout the Kalaidis sector), Novayan military and security forces were forced to withdraw from the star system. The Kalaidians didn't really care about the pandemic and so kept their freedoms and went for their summer breaks even when many were infected, resulting in alarming rates of infections of millions and deaths of thousands from the Quenir coronavirus pandemic as well as the spreading of the coronavirus to other star systems, residential ships, and habitat gigastructures and megastructures, culminating in the deployment of multiple flotillas to contain the outbreaks and the deployment of several battlefleets to commence a scorched earth mission of the entire Kalaidis star system. The event that was called the Sorrowing of Kalaidis saw hundreds of millions of civilians being killed in the orbital armageddon brought upon by the Novayan battlefleets, with the star system's capital of Kalaidis IV (21,500 kilometers in diameter with 20 billion people living there) being thoroughly decimated leaving only a few million Kalaidians surviving.

The orbital armageddon does not only killed off every Kalaidians, but also devastated the planetary infrastructures. The Sorrowing of Kalaidis saw the near-complete annihilation of Kalaidian civilization, the degradation of the Kalaidis system from the capital of the Kalaidis sector to a mere star system, the renaming of the Kalaidis sector to the Paraksis sector, and the complete shielding of all but one world of the Kalaidis system. The Kalaidian culture has also been struck from the Novayan government's Comprehensive Cultures List while the last surviving world that avoided being decimated and whose peoples followed the lockdown, the glacial world of Kalaidis X, was allowed to exist.
### Foreign relations

The Novayan Stellar Commonwealth is the leader of the Unity Pact, a military and economic alliance composed of the NSC's allies, puppet states and client states. Its key objective is to maintain Novaya's sphere of influence through diplomatic actions and only using force as a last resort should diplomatic ventures all failed to deter hostilities between various parties. Among the client states were the Byzantine Empire and among the subject states were the Avalon Protectorate and the NSC Military Authority of Borealisopolis led by Admiral Konstantina Zenobia Norsoutha, a fascist so Speerist she is utterly disliked by NSC.

Novaya has friendly relations with the International Union of Armanya, a representative democracy, but has tense relations with the Saiyanese Stellar Federation (a hereditary plutocratic oligarchy) and the New Roman Empire (a military tetrarchy), both of which led the Coalition of Free Nations and the Imperial Pact respectively. However, whereas their actions against each other is through espionage and proxy wars, all three have involved themselves in an economic kind of cold war where each sought to create trade deals with unaligned nations in an effort to boost the economy (both national, local and international).

Novaya also has friendly relations with the Galactic Alliance Defense Initiative, Imperial Remnant, Empire of the Hand and Chiss Ascendancy but had cold relations with the New Republic, which it sees as an unreformed Galactic Republic V2.0 that needed to be reformed immediately and a majestic failure to the peoples of Galaxy Foxtrot-Foxtrot-Alpha. Regardless the NSC had established various trade agreements with every world in Galaxy FFA. Novaya has also established the Commonwealths of Byss, Zakuul and Elegasso, Ober Sud, and the New Meridian Federation (through the Meridian Commonwealth), colonial holdings first established after Operation Sovereign Justice and expanded before, during and after the One Sith War. The New Torringhill system, initially holding the largest network of NSC military installations, is transferred over to the Void Coalition's peacekeeping forces. The nations of the Outer Territories also hold favorable relations with the NSC.

Novaya have friendly relations with the United Nations of Earth and Galactic Community of Universe Alpha-November-India-Mike-Echo but its relations with the various UNE member-states vary. The NSC holds friendly relations with the German Empire, various Southeast Asian countries, Russia, the European Union, Korea and Japan (which later becomes the Commonwealth of Japan post-Shinomiya affairs) but holds neutral views towards the People's Republic of China. It was the NSC's relations with Japan that it is involved in the Japanese reconstruction program after the One Sith War and then the Shinomiya affairs, the latter of which saw the rise of the Commonwealth of Japan, a militaristic albeit more progressive Japan which is now seen as a rising power (albeit a neutral one) in the Pacific.

Novaya, however, ultimately holds negative views toward the United States of America as it sees America as dysfunctional (even worse than the New Republic) due to its systemic racism, ineffective government, and other troubling issues. Novaya also sees the USA as a nation many Novayans will avoid visiting.

The NSC, however, held varying views towards the Terran nations, which had to evacuate to Earth-ANIME due to the One Sith launching an attack on Terra prior to the start of the One Sith War. The few nations the NSC displayed outright hostility towards were the Empire of Ursus, Kingdom of Victoria and Empire of Yen.

* The Empire of Ursus, Kingdom of Victoria and Empire of Yen were viewed with outright hostilities from the NSC. However, the fall and colonization of Ursus at the hands of a joint NSC-GADI invasion force had shocked many Terran nations which thought the NSC to still be unstable.
	+ The NSC-GADI invasion and colonization of Ursus shocked many Ursusians, who still believed they can defeat the invasion force. Seeing NSC and GADI forces rapidly taking control of Ursus' nomadic cities shook the Ursusians, and the arrival of Novayan and GADI colonists helped destroy the Ursusians' belief that their nation is indestructible. All fears of oppression were gone when business mogul Gebhard Meyer-Landrut, a slavophile and appointed reichskommissar of Reichskommissar Ursus, and GADI-aligned mercenaries began transforming the now-divided Ursusian states into highly-developed states and awoken the Ursusians to the realization that they, like the Infected, are all living beings worthy of equal rights. The Ursusians also realized that the NSC and GADI refused to allow the continuation of injustices but only colonized the Empire because of very enthusiastic NSC military officers who wished to colonize it.
	+ Victoria and Yen were shaken by the NSC-GADI invasion and colonization of Ursus, and quickly learned that everything Ursus did were cause for invasion. Fearing that they are next on the list, they requested the European Union and the People's Republic of China for protection and, if protection isn't on the list, representation in an attempt to avoid the NSC's and GADI's wrath. The Victorians and Yenites also fear the NSC's willingness to take action against those who committed "the gravest international crimes against all sapientkind whether in the past or now".
* Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals Inc. is viewed by the NSC as a non-governmental organization and thus more likely to be in open negotiations with it. While shaken by the NSC-GADI invasion of Ursus, Rhodes Island continued working though after agreeing to some demands regarding safety, healthcare and education.
* Laterano is heavily-disliked by Novayans for its monopoly on guns, and a world (Earth-ANIME) where human militaries use firearms and advanced military equipment helped shatter the Lateranians' views.

In comparison the NSC hold a number of client states outside the Void, Universe Sierra-Hotel-Whiskey and Universe ANIME. One of those were the Papal States or Curia from World-ARCANA. While Grand Marshal Borealis III is the Curia's head of state the High Priestess serves as the head of government.

The Novayan Stellar Commonwealth is one of the members of the Coalition and is allied with the following factions:

* **United Nations of Earth - Universe ANIME:**
* **Allied Forces - Universe SAKURAWARS**
* **Galactic Alliance Defense Initiative - Universe Sierra-Whiskey-Hotel**
* **Imperial Remnant - Universe Sierra-Whiskey-Hotel**

Borealis Norsoutha III, the 115,115th and youngest Grand Marshal of the Novayan Stellar Commonwealth, has led an expeditionary force to help liberate and reform nations, tribes, religions and cultures that were either corrupt or containing a number of tenets and traditions that are negative. While we may understand his reasons, his being on a journey with the troops meant that general Gebhard von Norsoutha had to take control for a while until the Grand Marshal returned from his 2-year journey.
