American Confederacy

The American Confederacy (Welsh: America Cydfferderal) is one of the factions of the future. A economic co-operative society that deploys itself in the space between planets.

## History

The American Cydfferderal is a gathered league of co-operation, otherwise known as a Confederacy and similarly applied as a Co-op. This co-op was created by Welsh Traders that formed together after the Division War.

There are three main entities within the American Cydfferderal: Members, Board, and Buyers. The Members are the people who have personally bought into the American Cydfferderal through their sacrifice in the Diogelwchlluoedd (Security Forces) of the American Cydfferderal. The Members have rights similar to rights granted to Citizens as if a part of some other nation, thus it is for this reason many governments will not accept Members of the American Cydfferderal as citizens in their own governments. Many people that live on planets, stations, ships, or in sectors which are under the protection of the American Cydfferderal are not themselves Members. Members consist of only individuals and not any business or company. The Board, or Board of Directors, consists of the appointed Members who act as a ruling body to ensure the enforcement, or ensure the lack of enforcement, of trading and trade regulations between Members and Buyers. There are two predominant sides to the Board of Directors, the Trade Regulators and the Security Enforcers. The purpose of these two sides is to ensure that trade and commerce between Members and Buyers is openly allowed and to ensure the security to both Members and Buyers.

The Buyers are entities, companies or individuals, that pay a percentage of their profits in exchange for equal trade rights in the American Cydfferderal as well as being given protection by the Diogelwchlluoedd. These Buyers do not have the same rights as members as they will lack the ability to vote on issues. However, this, as with any financial situation, has much corruption involved as Buyers will attempt to Buy votes. One of the many imposed rules which has been in place to stop this corruption is to disallow for Members serving on the Board of Directors to actively be Buyers, or have ownership and control in a company that is a Buyer.

The American Cydfferderal is one of the major economic entities in the Milky Way Galaxy. Although, unlike many of the other major economic entities, the American Cydfferderal does not control or own any planets and is solely spaceborn through ships and a very few stations. There are many planets which are predominantly used or outright owned by, or solely by, Buyers of the American Cydfferderal.

## Technology

There are four major companies in the American Confederacy that produce the weapons used by the Security Forces:

* Gauss Arfau Gweithgynhyrchu or GAG, researches, manufactures, and produces Gauss Weapons, or Electromagnetic Coil Weapons. GAG supplies the American Confederacy as well as various other factions such as the Empire of the Risen Sun, Star Kingdoms, and the non-aligned factions.
* Diogelu Amddiffynnol or DA, researches ballistics and produces the ammunition used by GAG weapons.
* Anturiaethau Amddiffynfa or AA, researches metallurgy to create shielding and armor plating technology. They currently hold the contract for the production of Combat and Riot Shields used by the American Confederacy as well as supplying Combat Shields to the Star Kingdoms.
* Arfog yn Gweithredu or AG, dedicates their labor towards the designing and construction of Powered Suits. They work along side AA towards creating the best alternatives of lightweight but durable construction materials and methods. Along with GAG weapons the Suits built by AG are left to the market for other Governments and Individuals to purchase; although only the American Confederacy has access to the latest designs and builds.

## Diogelwchlluoedd

The Diogelwchlluoedd (Diogelwch) of the American Cydfferderal are the body of those serving to the interests of defense and protection to the Members and Buyers. After finishing an agreed upon service term within the Diogelwch then an individual is granted the title of Member and all the rights that come with that title.

The Diogelwch has three individuals that are a part of the Board of Directors, these individuals are not, however, Members as they are still currently serving in the Diogelwch. The Diogelwch is divided into two categories, the Llyngeslluoedd and the Arbenniglluoedd.

The Llyngeslluoedd (Llynges), consists of two individuals serving on the Board of Directors, the Milwyrlywydd and the Morwyrlywydd. The Llynges makes up a majority of the serving Diogelwch and consists of two divisions within it, the Milwyrawyr (Mil) and the Morwyrawyr. (Mor) These two divisions both share similar ranking structure and titles; however, they both operate in different fields. The Mil serve as personnel defending the materials on friendly ships as well as being deployed to defend other ships or being deployed onto planets or stations in defense; for all intents and purposes the Mil are the Marines and Infantry of the American Cydfferderal. The Mor serve as crews on the ships, those who operate the ships, repair the ships, or will transport the Mil around to their designated locations; for all intents and purpose the Mor are the Navy of the American Cydfferderal. These two divisions are however both a part of the Lynges which is overall the equivalent to the entire Naval Forces of the American Cydfferderal.

Within the Lynges there are two serving individuals, those who are currently working to own their Membership in the American Cydfferderal, and those who are continuing to serve despite their ability to quit or in their refusal to retire. Aside from the distinction of these two types of individuals, there are two separate positions in the Llynges, those who serve as directly a part of the Llynges, holding positions within the Llynges, and those who are serving as contractors through another security corporation as a part of the Llynges.

Those who are holding positions are, again for lack of a better term, Officers. There are five ranks of Officers, seven when including the three Lywydds and when including Education Officers which both are and are not Officers.

Those who are serving as contractors through another security company are not directly a part of the Llynges, and are often in similarity with Enlisted and Non-Commissioned Officers. These personnel are hired through contracts awarded by the American Cydfferderal to security corporations whereby a contract will state the necessity to supply a crew of Milwyrawyr and Morwyrawyr for a certain amount of ships. The ships are themselves owned by the Llynges, thus property of the American Cydfferderal, and are commanded by the Officers of the Llynges.

The organization in the Llynges is dependent on ship size and amount of ships being grouped together into fleets. Mil are assigned on every ship in the Llynges, however the size of these detachments may vary. Each fleet consists of at least one specific troop transport, which contains a little over a gross of Mil. Each gross of Mil is commanded by a Mil Isdalswydd (Junior Officer O-1). The troop transport itself is always commanded by a Mor Dalswydd (O-2). The ships in a fleet will be commanded by any of three ranks of Mor officers (O-1, O-2, and O-3), while the entire fleet is commanded by a Isrheolwr (O-4). The Mil in a fleet will consists of an amount of Mil Isdalswydd equal to the amount of gross of Mil and then will have a Dalswydd in command of several gross. If the fleet is still larger, consisting of several more gross of Mil, then often there will be several Dalswydd and a Uchdalswydd with overall command; likewise the Mor will occasionally assign a Rheolwr (O-5) to these larger fleets. However, as of the present moment, not being in any active state of war, these is no fleet of this size nor any necessity for a fleet of this size, thus there are hardly any personnel serving the ranks to command these types of organizations.

The third serving member on the Board of Directors is in the Arbenniglluoedd (Arbennig) and is the Arbenniglywydd. The personnel serving in this organization are exemplified individuals recruited from the Llynges. The Arbennig are, for lack of a better placement, the special operations division of the Diogelwch. Unlike with the Llynges that assigns the mixture of Mil and Mor for different roles, the Arbennig act as their own ship crews and security personnel. As they are recruited out of the Llynges, there are far fewer Arbennig serving, and less need for many Arbennig to serve. The Arbennig that are out there, however, will usually act as separate ships instead of being assigned into fleets.
