Autocracy. The Pact was born through war and conflict and continues to brings instability to the region.

### Government Structure

The Othosaz Pact is considered a military dictatorship ran by a “senate” of generals each representing a Pact world. Had it not been for the guidance of the Grand Marshall, these worlds would been at war with each other right after the Revolution. These generals are life appointed veterans from the White Revolution usually chosen by Saggubb, the first Grand Marshall. The planets controlled by the generals have their own armies and air force but are heavily reliant on the central government’s naval power to protect their space and mediate conflicts. The Grand Marshall is also a life appointed position and is the Supreme commander of the space fleets. But he/she is relies on the general’s planetary armies to keep planets in line. This system has inadvertently created a check and balance system that prevents both parties from becoming to powerful.

### Society

Life under the pact is a life of “dog eat dog”. Citizens constantly fight amongst themselves to establish dominance over others. This nature to dominate permeates throughout all Pact society from prices to war and even in the bedroom. This behavior also affected their relations with other species. The Narn and the Cardassian Union especially were subjected to the Pact’s government various bullying and intimidation tactics before becoming overtly hostile when the two nations were severely weaken by their respective crises. Only the UST, the Zed’drath Imperium and the Animus ever put the Othosaz Pact in their place. The Pact also demonized their former masters, the Qvorite, to the point where Qvorite citizens have to employ other Pact species to protect them.

### History

The Othosaz Pact’s history began during the White Revolution, when Saggubb the White killed a Qvorite guard on the mining planet Kuront. His defiance against the Qvorite Autocracy is what sparked the revolution. During the battle of Kuront, Saggubb had pick several Othosaz and Narn to become his lieutenants which would become the basis of the Pact’s governmental system. As Saggubb expanded the revolution so did the Pact’s borders. This rapid expansion cost him his life, leaving the fledgling state at the end of the war in the hands of his inexperienced and opportunistic lieutenants now generals. When the last of the Qvorite controlled systems surrendered, the territories were split amongst the victors under the watchful eye of the Zed’drath and UST. The generals believed that UST gave territory unfairly and threaten the newly formed Narn Union with war if their demands were not met. The New Grand Marshall, Xagragg, didn’t want to go war but was weak and unpopular politically and could never reign in the generals clamoring for war. After an attempted coup he eventually relented and declared war on the Narn. Before the war began however the Othosaz and the Rodians, who also felt stifled, declared a military alliance incase the Narn came to the UST for help.

#### 1st Union/Pact War

The Invasion of Narn and its territories was brief due to the Union’s lack of a formal navy and army. All Narn systems were annexed into the Pact and the Narn were treated as second-class citizens. The Othosaz felt exuberant about their swift military victory but the generals had a hard time keeping down the reformed Narn Resistance. It didn’t help occupational forces when the Resistance petition UST for help. UST spies were spotted immediately after the invasion, frequently harassing Othosaz planetary forces. Many Narn revolts were put down throughout the occupation but possibly unbeknownst to the Othosaz was that these attacks were softening them up for a UST conter-invasion.

The war began right after the heels of the 3rd Great Narn Revolt, with a three pronged attack by the UST. This attack threw most of the Occupational forces in disarray, allowing the UST to capture several former Narn worlds that bordered their territories. With this black stain on his career, Xagragg resigned in shame and the new grand Marshall, Vullagg, rallied Pact forces for a counter attack and called in the Rodians for military support. Despite reorganization, Narn and UST forces continued to win several battles and gain more and more territory. Vullagg, sensing a possible invasion of core Othosaz systems, sent most of his forces to planet Narn for a final fight that could determine the outcome of the war. The 4th Battle for Narn erupted throughout the system leaving many space-hulks orbiting several planets . By the end the Union triumphed over the Pact’s forces and Vullagg was forced to sign an armistice. For the Othosaz the war was over but the two Unions still had to fight against the Rodians.

##### High Vanue War

The first Union-Pact war wasn’t the only war the Othosaz Pact was fighting. After the Narn invasion, the Othosaz officials were happy with their military’s capability to subjugate a whole nation in just a few months. So in a effort to seek out new systems for conquest, they look to their neighbors systems. The Qvorite were an obvious choice but because of the agreement they had with the Zed’drath in order to keep them demilitarized the Pact largely ignored them. The Vanue high kingdom however had a large but unorganized army and navy and seemed riped for the picking. The kingdom was in the midst of a civil crisis between the dominant Vanusians and the lower class Cardassians, with a civil war brewing in the distance. The Pact seized upon this opportunity and attacked their systems with large fleets that did not participate in the war against the UST. All the bordering colonies fell within weeks and some strike fleets were ordered to attack Vanue. Any vanusian force sent to slow down the Pact’s advance were destroyed. An invasion of Vanue would have been likely if hadn’t been for admiral Sa’adra and her successful plan to trap and ambush the main Othosaz fleet and most of its troop transports in the Zer system. With there main force incapacitated, their military was in complete disarray, allowing the Vanue admiral to help coordinate an effective counteroffensive. The Vanusians were able to retake their core and outer core systems and colonies but could never push the Othosaz fully out of the border systems. After a few failed assaults from both sides, they agreed to armistice due to the Othosaz’s losing war against the UST and Vanue’s growing ethnic crisis reaching a boiling point.
