### Title(s)

Imperator of the Volkar Stellar Imperium (since 2249)Lord Protector of the Homeworld (since 2249)

Archduke of Kavalk (since 2247)

Lord Overseer of the Fouahiri Strait (since 2272)

High Prince of the Volkar Stellar Imperium (until 2249)

**Emperor Tharch**, officially **High Lord Tharch, of the Imperial House Rhych, Imperator of the Volkar Stellar Imperium, Lord Protector of the Homeworld, Archduke of Kavalk, Lord Overseer of the Fouahiri Strait** *(17 April 2230 to present)* is the current ruler of the Volkar Stellar Imperium, and head of the Imperial House Rhych.

Tharch is notable as the first emperor of the Stellar Imperium to maintain his own military forces, a program he ordered begun after the House Siplim victory in the Second Shantarak War. These forces later played an important role in the Adel Campaign of the Volkar Civil War and the First Battle of the Fouahiri Strait, though they were disbanded at the end of the Civil War.

Tharch also began a process of centralization following the Civil War, bringing the Houses more under his authority to prevent future Sunderings.
Renjath Grand Republic

The **Renjath Grand Republic**, known colloquially as the **Grand Republic** and the **Renjath Trade League**, is the political entity that governs the Renjath species, and the corporation that manages the Renjath trade network, which is the largest in the galaxy.

The Grand Republic is a democratic, capitalist state in which citizens are nominally equal and control the government through regular elections. However, economic interests exercise a great degree of control over the Grand Republic's internal and foreign affairs.

Historically, the Grand Republic has maintained a philosophy of xenophilia and corporate expansion. Its control over the galactic economy far outstrips its population and political reach.
Tshakfarhch

**Tshakfarhch**, officially **Baron Tshakfarhch of Lhasrhatshak** *(8 June 2230 to 29 January 2328)*, was a Volkar statesman, philosopher, and nobleman who served as Prime Minister of House Lishval for 62 years from 2266 until his death in 2328.

One of the most prominent political figures in the Volkar Stellar Imperium during the post-conquest era, Tshakfarhch is considered to be one of the most important statesmen in Volkar history. He orchestrated the independence of House Lishval from House Ukna as one of his first acts, and later oversaw the rise of Lishval's economic and political influence during the Volkar Civil War and the subsequent Era of Peace. His death left House Lishval in a tenuous position just before the outbreak of the Volkar Revolution in 2328.

Unknown to most outsiders, near the end of his life, Tshakfarhch came to the conclusion that the Volkar imperial system was doomed to fail, and so decided to orchestrate an ending to it. Over the last three years of his life, he planned the use of Lishval strike teams to infiltrate the Imperial Palace on Kavalk and the Ducal Palace on Lishval, to ensure the outbreak of large-scale revolution among the people and the collapse of the local governments of the two Volkar core worlds. He intended the following chaos to lead to political change in Volkar society.

Mere weeks following his death, his plans were carried out to great success, sparking the Volkar Revolution, the subsequent Revolutionary Wars, and the eventual collapse of the Stellar Imperium and foundation of the Volkar Stellar Commonwealth.
Protectorate of Qasval

The **Protectorate of Qasval**, officially the **Insular Planetary Protectorate of Qasval**, and known on Qasval as the **Protectorate**, is the political entity that governs the Qasvalyvian species under the auspices of the Volkar Stellar Commonwealth.

Not an independent state, the Protectorate has control over the internal affairs of the planet Qasval as well as representation in the Commonwealth government. It has no authority to maintain external affairs with xeno powers.

The Protectorate was founded in 2346 at the end of the Second Volkar Civil War, when Qasval was annexed by the Commonwealth.
Kha Theris-class

The ***Kha Theris*-class corvette** is a type of corvette originally designed and deployed by House Ukna of the Volkar Stellar Imperium, though later also constructed and deployed by the Imperial House Rhych and House Lishval.

The *Kha Theris*-class has been used as a patrol craft, a general-purpose warship, a light attack ship, and a scout ship. The design is relatively simple and cheap to construct, though highly modular to allow various focuses depending upon need. These traits make the ship popular among Ukna-aligned houses for a variety of roles.
Successor state

The **successor states** were the political entities that ruled the Volkara during the Volkar Revolutionary Wars from 2328 to 2347 and were the result of the break-up of the Volkar Stellar Imperium following the Volkar Revolution. These states enjoyed varied levels of recognition from xeno powers and existed primarily in a state of continuous war with each other from their inception until their eventual coalescense into the Volkar Stellar Commonwealth.

The successor states are typically understood to be:

* Stellar Imperium of Rhych (the direct successor of the Stellar Imperium)
* Stellar Imperium of Julau
* Commonwealth of Kavalk
* Alliance of Pol Utesk
* Commonwealth of Lishval
Hakh

Hakh in 2318

**Hakh**, commonly known as **Adel** **Hakh** from 2103 until 2341, and officially **Rhych Hakh** for a brief period in 2341, is an arid planet in the Volkar Stellar Commonwealth.

Hakh was settled by the Volkara in 2103 after House Adel was expelled from Kavalk for its support of House Tekhrhys during the Sundering. From 2103 until 2341, Hakh served as the seat of House Adel.

At the conclusion of the Adel Campaign of the Volkar Civil War, Hakh was invaded by the xeno slave armies of House Julau, and afterwards occupied by House Julau until the end of the war.

Following the conquest of Savelk by the Commonwealth of Kavalk and the Commonwealth of Lishval in 2341, the Imperial House Rhych briefly relocated to Hakh and declared it the imperial throne world, assigning it the Imperial designation **Rhych Hakh**, though the name was never used widely. Hakh was itself conquered by the Commonwealth of Lishval less than two months later, in 2341.
Alby Ameen

Venture Expedition

Lieutenant Commander **Alby Ameen** is an Emorian Jump Corps officer who has served as the Chief Engineer of the EUV *Venture* from its launch.

A talented and experienced engineer, Alby applied for the Chief Engineer position on the *Venture* and successfully out-competed thousands of other applicants to win the assignment.
Volkar Stellar Commonwealth

The **Volkar Stellar Commonwealth**, colloquially known as the **Commonwealth**, is the political entity that governs the Volkar species and a galactic Great Power.

The Commonwealth was founded by the Commonwealth of Kavalk and the Commonwealth of Lishval in 2341, and expanded to include the majority of the former territory of the Volkar Stellar Imperium during the Volkar Revolutionary Wars, before displacing the other successor states at the end of Second Volkar Civil War in 2347 to become the single government of the Volkara.

The Commonwealth maintains a democratic form of government, but that system is relatively unstable due to the inexperience of the Volkara with the form of government.

While the former subjugated species under the Volkar Stellar Imperium were released from slavery and the Finu gained independence, the Qasvalyvia remain part of the Commonwealth, though as a specially-governed insular self-governing region.

The Commonwealth maintains close relations with the Gorf People's Republic, which provided it with significant support during the Volkar Revolutionary Wars and the Second Volkar Civil War. The Gorf also provide advisory support for the functioning of the Commonwealth's democratic system of government.

Menitraniat United Workers' State

The **Menitraniat United Workers' State**, officially the **United Peoples' and Workers' State**, is the political entity that governs the Menitraniat species.

A democratic and fanatically egalitarian state, the Workers' State is founded on the freedom of its people not to labor for the profit of others.

One of the most recent civilizations to achieve FTL-capability, the Workers' State has since maintained a philosophy of isolation from the rest of the galaxy, fearing that xeno-intervention could threaten the freedom of its people.
Great Power

The galactic Great Powers are the sovereign political entities in the galaxy that are recognized as the most powerful of the many states in the galaxy. This power may be derived from military power, technological advancement, or from economic power, though most members have historically had power bases founded upon all of these aspects, as well as numerous other factors.

Currently there exist four recognized Great Powers:

* Caloctoran Hegemony: a major military power, the Hegemony is also possibly the most technologically advanced state in the galaxy, though it is frequently engaged in wars with the Thimoid Empire and its other neighbors, and suffers frequent raids from the Reapers.
* Gorf People's Republic: primarily an economic power, the People's Republic is the smallest and least militarily powerful of the Great Powers; its power rests largely on its sheltered location in the galaxy and friendly relations with the Volkar Stellar Imperium.
* Thimoid Empire: a major military power, the Empire is the most populous state in the galaxy and has been FTL-capable longer than the other Great Powers, though it is frequently engaged in wars with the Caloctoran Hegemony and its other neighbors.
* Volkar Stellar Imperium: the most militarily powerful state in the galaxy, though this power is split between several competing Great Houses, which engage in frequent wars with each other and independently with their neighbors.

Before its defeat in the Third Shantarak War, the Shantarak Republic was occasionally considered to rank among these as a fifth Great Power.
Stellar Imperium of Julau

*Not to be confused with the Volkar Stellar Imperium, or with House Julau.*

Finu

The **Stellar Imperium of Julau**, from 2341 also known as the **Volkar Stellar Imperium**, was a successor state to the Volkar Stellar Imperium, and a political entity that ruled a portion of the Volkara and two subjugated client species: the Qasvalyvia and the Finu. The Imperium existed during the Volkar Revolutionary Wars, from 2330 until its defeat in the Second Volkar Civil War and subsequent annexation by the Volkar Stellar Commonwealth in 2346.

The Imperium's short existence was dominated by conflict, primarily with the remnants of House Siplim, organized as the Alliance of Pol Utesk, and the K'Taknor Republic.

The Imperium was ruled by the Imperial House Julau, which had its seat on the planet Julau Vaklak.
Julau-K'Taknor Skirmishes

The **Julau-K'Taknor Skirmishes**, called the **Julau Wars** in the K'Taknor Republic, were a series of border skirmishes fought between the K'Taknor Republic and House Julau of the Volkar Stellar Imperium between 2214 and 2240.

Initiated by a Julau invasion of several historically K'Taknor systems in 2214, the skirmishes were ultimately inconclusive, as neither power devoted many resources to the fight. The Republic was occupied by an upswing in Reaper raids on the fair side of their territory, and House Julau was almost immediately distracted by unrest on Julau Cknoor, and a political struggle with House Siplim over control of the Fouahiri Strait trade route to Lishval.

In 2240, the Republic successfully ousted the last Julau holdouts in its territory.
Mekh'LeS

The **Mekh'LeSth species**, also called the **Mekh'LeS**, are a reptilian species that originated on the ocean planet q'theSf. A minor species in the galaxy, the Mekh'LeS founded and maintain the Mekh'LeSth United Planetary Republic.

The Mekh'LeS are unique among species in the galaxy in that they are fully aquatic; originating in the oceans of q'theSf, they breathe water. Mekh'LeSth cities are underwater, and their spaceships are full of water.

The Mekh'LeS achieved FTL-capability in 2238.
Coalition of Shantar

The **Coalition of Shantar**, also known as the **Coalition**, is the political entity governing the remaining Shantarak independent from the Volkar Stellar Imperium, after its conquest of the majority of the population of the former Shantarak Republic in 2298.

The Coalition was formed after the overthrow of the Shantarak Republic in 2299, as a result of the political instability caused by the aftermath of the Third Shantarak War.

As opposed to the xenophilic and relatively pacifistic nature of the Republic, the Coalition was notably militaristic, expansionist, and xenophobic.
Commonwealth of Kavalk

The **Commonwealth of Kavalk**, commonly called the **Commonwealth**, was a successor state to the Volkar Stellar Imperium and a political entity that governed a portion of the Volkara. The Commonwealth existed during the Volkar Revolutionary Wars from 2328 until the foundation of the Volkar Stellar Commonwealth in 2341.

The Commonwealth's short existence was dominated by conflict, primarily with the surviving Volkar Stellar Imperium and the Stellar Imperium of Julau, the Alliance of Pol Utesk, and various loyalist counter-revolutionary forces. It maintained close relations and eventually co-founded the Volkar Stellar Commonwealth with the Commonwealth of Lishval.

Beginning in 2331, the Commonwealth received major support from Gorf People's Republic.

The Commonwealth had its capital on the planet Kavalk, and its authority rarely extended beyond its home system.

Lieutenant Doctor **Sonya Isaacs** is an Emorian Jump Corps officer and medical doctor, who has served as the Chief Medical Officer of the EUV *Venture* from its launch.

Sonya is a devoted member of the Distance Movement.

Sonya is the first cousin of Newt Isaacs, ambassador on the EUV *Venture*.
Destruction of Varkhat Province

The **destruction of Varkhat Province**, later referred to as **the Bombardment**, was an anti-revolutionary act carried out by the Imperial House Rhych on Kavalk in 2326 as a response to anti-Imperial revolutionary forces seizing control of the province and using it as a base for operations in neighboring provinces. The province was obliterated from orbit by Imperial patrol ships, killing an estimated 48 million people and largely sterilizing the region.

Though the act succeeded in ending open unrest on Kavalk for nearly two years, it is widely considered the proximate cause of the Volkar Revolution, the last and most egregious of offenses committed by the Imperial House Rhych, and was cited by revolutionaries as the greatest motivation for resistance to Imperial rule. The revolutionaries who executed the Imperator in 2328 called for justice for Varkhat Province.

News of the bombardment of the province deeply disturbed Tshakfarhch, Prime Minister of House Lishval, and encouraged him to rush production of House Lishval's stealth destroyer and would cause him to reevaluate his political philosophy. With the destruction of Varkhat Province as a major justification, he would spend the remainder of his life orchestrating the end of the Imperial system.

Tsarhach, the first First Minister of the Volkar Stellar Commonwealth, had a supporting role in the takeover of Varkhat Province, but survived by leaving one day before the bombardment. He would later publicly lament the loss of his comrades and play a leading role in rising unrest before the execution of the Imperator; while working to establish the Commonwealth of Kavalk, he would often refer to the destruction of Varkhat Province to dissuade others from extreme violence.
Volkar Revolution

The **Volkar Revolution**, also called the **Revolution** in the Volkar Stellar Imperium and the Volkar Stellar Commonwealth, and contemporaneously the **Kavalk Uprising**, the **Kavalk Rebellion**, and often simply the **Uprising**, was a political and social revolution that began on the Volkar homeworld of Kavalk and spread throughout the Volkar Stellar Imperium from 2328 until 2337. The Revolution is considered one of the most consequential events in Volkar history and resulted in the collapse of the Volkar political system and the Great Houses, the public execution of the members of the Imperial House Rhych, the most destructive series of Sunderings in Volkar history; the Volkar Revolutionary Wars and the Second Volkar Civil War, and the independence of several Volkar subject species.

Beginning on Kavalk in 2328, the causes of the Revolution are generally held to be increasing cultural influence from the Gorf People's Republic and the Emorian Union, whose ideals of equality and freedom were starkly different from the traditional values and style of rulership of the Imperial House Rhych, and the increased oppression of the Imperial House Rhych following the death of Tharch. The most symbolic of these forms of oppression was the Great Blockade, but the sheer violence of the destruction of Varkhat Province in 2326 is held up as a flashpoint of widespread revolutionary sentiment among the Volkar populace, particularly on Kavalk. Some small and unorganized instances of unrest had been brutally suppressed by the Imperial House Rhych over several years from 2322 until 2326, when revolutionaries succeeded in taking control of Varkhat Province. The province's destruction ended open resistance to Imperial authority for nearly two years, though minor unrest eventually arose again, culminating in 2328, when a small group of Volkara infiltrated the Imperial Palace complex, took the Imperator and most of his family hostage, and then executed them on a live feed broadcast to the rest of the planet.

The executions were a sudden shock to the Imperium and large-scale chaos broke out shortly afterwards, with local governing officials and minor houses across the planet being stormed by the common people and Imperial military infrastructure being destroyed by unknown forces. Similar uprisings followed on many other Volkar worlds, though only that on Hakh had any success.

A further shock to the Imperium came when a fleet sent by House Siplim to put down the Revolution and restore order was destroyed in the Battle of Kavalk. There were suspicions at the time that the Siplim defeat and the Revolution itself were orchestrated by the Emorian Union, though the accuracy of these suspicions remains in doubt.

The political and social situation on Kavalk was chaotic in the weeks following the Battle of Kavalk, but a semblance of order was reestablished in most major cities within months by groups that would eventually coalesce into the Commonwealth of Kavalk later in 2328. Skirmishes between revolutionary forces and loyalist and Imperialist factions across the planet continued into 2330.
Subspace traversal

**Subspace traversal** is one of four known FTL technologies, the others being the hyperdrive, the jump drive, and the gateway. Like the jump drive and gateway, subspace traversal is used exclusively by the Emorian Union.

Subspace traversal is similar to hyperdrive-enabled FTL in that it allows a vessel to breach a separate dimension of space-time, called subspace. This type of FTL is not restricted to particular routes because it is entirely divorced from normal space-time. Mapping of subspace is not required.

Subspace traversal, though in theory similar to hyperspace travel, requires a great deal more energy to achieve. The minimum power required to breach subspace is approximately 10,000 times that which is required to breach hyperspace.

As such, the achievement of subspce traversal is seen by the Emorian Union as a necessary step in technological development and in maintaining a wide-reaching territory, as "speeds" achievable through subspace traversal far exceed those achievable by hyperspace travel, effectively decreasing the time necessary to traverse a galaxy-spanning distance.

The Emori achieved subspace traversal approximately 20,000 years ago, and about 400 years after first achieving hyperdrive capability. By approximately 19,000 years ago, the Emori had fully replaced their hyperdrive-equipped vessels with vessels capable of subspace traversal.

No other known species have achieved subspace traversal.
Great Blockade

The **Great Blockade** was the self-blockade of Rhych Kavalk by the Imperial House Rhych from 2321 until 2328, as an attempt to curb external political and cultural influence on the planet. As part of the Imperial House Rhych's anti-opposition campaign following the death of Imperator Tharch, the Great Blockade was hugely unpopular among the people and left the Imperial House relatively weakened by the time of the Volkar Revolution in 2328, which often cited the Great Blockade as an example of Imperial oppression.
League of Proval

The **League of Proval**, officially the **Citizen League of Proval**, and known colloquially as the **League**, is the political entity that governs the Provali species.

The League is a democratic and egalitarian state for those granted citizenship. Non-Provali residents are typically not granted citizenship and therefore occupy a second-tier position in society.

Historically, the League has maintained an aggressive and mildly xenophobic philosophy.

Sapient life

**Sapient life**, also referred to as **intelligent life**,is a term that describes lifeforms which display sapience, or the characteristic of self-awareness. The standard of sapience is the most common benchmark for determining which species are intelligent enough to be considered equals in the context of xeno-diplomacy. Sapience is generally considered an inherent trait of all FTL-capable species.

Sapience has been observed in many species in the galaxy, and is not limited to any specific biology or evolutionary background. Most sapient species in the galaxy are avian in biology, though the reason for this is not known.

Biologies known to display sapience, in apparent order of commonality:

* Avian
* Mammalian
* Fungoid
* Molluscoid
* Reptilian (occasionally considered either a sub- or an umbrella group of Avians)
* Plantoid
* Arthropoid
* Humanoid (often considered a subgroup of Mammalians)
Shantarak Republic

The **Shantarak Republic**, officially the **United Republic of Shantar**, and known colloquially as the **Republic**, was a political entity which governed the Shantarak people from around the year 2000 until it was overthrown in a coup by the Supremacy Movement in 2299, when it was replaced by the Coalition of Shantar.

For much of its history as an interstellar entity, the Republic was in conflict with the Volkar Stellar Imperium. The various Houses of the Imperium would frequently wage war against the Republic in attempts to expand their territories. The efforts were typically met with limited success until the invasion by House Siplim in 2254, which initiated a mostly unbroken reduction in the Republic's territory, until its most populous core worlds were lost to the Imperium at the end of the Third Shantarak War in 2298.

For much of its history, the Republic was the galaxy's largest sponsor of democratic and egalitarian political movements. Many smaller democratic states survived through support from the Republic. The defeat of the Republic in the Third Shantarak War, and the subsequent fascist coup that overthrew the Republic's remnant to found the Coalition were seen by many as the death of democracy in the galaxy. They inspired a cultural backlash in the democratic states of the galaxy, typically referred to as retrogression.
Lishval

Lishval in 2318

**Lishval**, rarely also called **Lishvalk**, is an arid planet in the Volkar Stellar Commonwealth.

Lishval was the second planet colonized by the Volkar species, in the year 2077. Its name is derived from the archaic *Lhishvalk*, meaning 'New World'. It is still very rarely referred to as Lishvalk.

Under the Volkar Stellar Imperium, the planet served as the seat of House Lishval, vassals of House Ukna until 2267, which took their name from the planet itself rather than an important leader or ancestor.

Following the initial stages of the Volkar Revolution on Kavalk in 2328, a similar uprising overthrew House Lishval and led to the foundation of the Commonwealth of Lishval in 2328. The Commonwealth played a major role in the Volkar Revolutionary Wars and its conquest was the goal of several campaigns by the Stellar Imperium of Julau and the Alliance of Pol Utesk.

In 2341, the Volkar Stellar Commonwealth was founded on Lishval.

Lishval is the inhabited planet closest to Kavalk and lies along the important trade route between Kavalk and Vaklak and Pol Utesk. The trade along this route has historically made Lishval among the wealthiest of Volkar planets.
Second Volkar Civil War

The **Second Volkar Civil War**, also called the **Last Sundering**, was a major conflict fought between the newly-founded Volkar Stellar Commonwealth, the Stellar Imperium of Julau, and the Alliance of Pol Utesk from 2341 to 2346. The conflict was largely continuous from the Volkar Revolutionary Wars; the dividing point between the Revolutionary Wars and the Civil War was the final defeat of forces loyal to the Imperial House Rhych and the foundation of the Volkar Stellar Commonwealth in 2341.

From 2341 until 2345, the Civil War was largely uneventful, with most fighting being waged between the Alliance of Pol Utesk and the Stellar Imperium of Julau. The newly-founded Commonwealth was bottlenecked behind the Fouahiri Strait, which was under the control of the Alliance, and was preoccupied with internal problems related to its new form of government and the independence movement of the Shantarak Occupation Zone. The fighting between the Alliance and the Stellar Imperium of Julau was mostly indecisive.

The Commonwealth's capture of the Fouahiri Strait following the Second Battle of the Fouahiri Strait in 2346 allowed the Commonwealth to finally defeat the Stellar Imperium of Julau in 2346, and the Alliance of Pol Utesk in 2347.

The Commonwealth controversially received major support throughout the Civil War from the Gorf People's Republic during the Fouahiri Operation, though Gorf forces were withdrawn after the victory at the Second Battle of the Fouahiri Strait. There were rumors in the Alliance of Pol Utesk and the Stellar Imperium of Julau, and indeed also in the Commonwealth itself, that the Commonwealth's war effort was being discreetly aided by the Emorian Union, though these rumors were unfounded.
Mekh'LeSth United Planetary Republic

The **Mekh'LeSth United Planetary Republic**, known colloquially as the **Mekh'LeSth Republic** or the **Planetary Republic** is the political entity that governs the Mekh'LeSth species.

The Planetary Republic is a democratic state, which values direct voting on the majority of the government's actions, and the equality of all citizens.

The Planetary Republic is a relative newcomer to the galactic stage, only achieving FTL-capability in 2238. It has since that year maintained a philosophy of xenophilia and pacificism.
Tritonio

**Tritonio** adalah mantan pemilik kamp tempur yang disembunyikan di tempat penitipan anak yang melatih siswa. Terungkap bahwa kamp ini didirikan untuk menggunakan siswa untuk melakukan pencurian kereta untuknya. Dia adalah mantan pemilik pedang leluhurnya sebelum memberikannya kepada Anne sebagai hadiah.

## Penampilan

Tritonio adalah salamander hijau muda dengan bintik-bintik lebih terang di ekornya. Dia memiliki rambut ungu gelap dan fitur wajah, kumis pendek dan janggut palsu. Dia berpakaian dalam gaya Prancis, mengenakan jaket merah khas vintage Prancis dengan ikat pinggang coklat yang diikat dengan gesper emas dan lengan bengkak putih. Dia juga memakai sepatu bot panjang hitam dan celana abu-abu.

## Trivia

* Dia menggunakan siswa terlatih tempur untuk merampok barang berharga tertentu dari kereta, seperti Tiger Moth's Eye yang berharga. Dia ditangkap karena ini di akhir episode "Combat Camp".
* Bagi Anne, dia adalah guru pertama yang dia pahami memahaminya karena dia telah mengeluh dalam episode "Combat Camp" bahwa tidak ada guru di bumi yang benar-benar menghargai dia karena "semangat riang"-nya.
Harriet Emmanuel

Venture Expedition

Insular Movement (former)

Lieutenant **Harriet Emmanuel** is an Emorian Jump Corps officer who served as Chief of Operations of the EUV *Venture* from its launch, and additionally served as acting Executive Officer from 2 November, 2316, following the relief of Commander AD Janson of command. On 12 November, 2316, she was relieved of duty by acting Captain Thomas Greene.

A member of the Insular Movement, Harriet was initially dedicated to derailing the *Venture* Expedition. To this end, and orchestrated by Commander Janson, she killed Junior Ambassador Aris Jones. Following Aris' death, Harriet began questioning the tactics of the Insular Movement. After Janson's relief from duty by acting Executive Officer Thomas Greene, Harriet lost faith in the disruption attempt, eventually turning on fellow Insular Movement operative Teresa Agnes during the *Venture*'s battle with the Tail.

Following the battle, she was relieved of duty and placed in the brig.
Destroyer

A **destroyer** is a type of military vessel used by space-faring species for a variety of purposes. While more technologically advanced species may use destroyers in specific roles, the term destroyer is also widely used to refer to the military vessels of all species, regardless of role, that exceed a corvette in size.

The roles of a destroyer may vary, though they are typically dedicated combat vessels. Because they lack the speed and maneuverability of corvettes, destroyers do not often operate independently, but rather as a composite of a larger fleet. Destroyers are equipped with a hyperdrive, and are thus capable of interstellar travel via hyperlanes.

Various destroyer designs of known powers include:

Volkar Stellar Imperium/Volkar Successor States/Volkar Stellar Commonwealth

* *Va Gavanonis*-class destroyer
* *Tharch*-class destroyer
* *Va Kharis*-class missile destroyer
* *Va Tethrhys*-class destroyer
* *Va Terhatis*-class destroyer
* *Va Fakhmaris*-class destroyer
* *Va Khakhatis*-class stealth destroyer

Shantarak Republic/Coalition of Shantar

* *Garulon*-class destroyer
Teresa Agnes

Venture Expedition

Insular Movement

Lieutenant **Teresa Agnes** was an Emorian Jump Corps officer who served as the Chief Science Officer of the EUV *Venture* from its launch until her death on 12 November, 2316.

Teresa was a covert member of the Insular Movement, originally unknown to fellow Movement members AD Janson and Harriet Emmanuel. Following Harriet's disillusionment with the Movement, she discovered Teresa's allegiance, eventually turning on her during the battle with the Tail, as Teresa attempted to sabotage the *Venture*. Teresa was killed during the resulting fight.

Teresa and Thomas Greene had been close friends since childhood.
Vaklak

Vaklak in 2318

Volkar Stellar Commonwealth (from 2346)

**Vaklak**, commonly known as **Julau** **Vaklak** until 2346, is an arid planet in the Volkar Stellar Commonwealth.

The planet was settled by the Volkara in 2146 by House Julau. Also in 2146, House Julau initiated an invasion of the other habitable planet in the system: Qasval, which was the homeworld of the Qasvalyvian species.

Until 2346, Vaklak was the seat of House Julau. From 2330 until 2346, the planet also served as the capital of the Stellar Imperium of Julau.
Jump drive

The **jump drive** is one of four known FTL technologies, the others being the hyperdrive, subspace traversal, and the gateway. Like subspace traversal and the gateway, the jump drive is used exclusively by the Emorian Union.

The jump drive operates entirely differently from both hyperdrive and subspace-based technologies. Instead of breaching a separate dimension of space-time, the jump drive creates a small, temporary wormhole, essentially tearing a hole, or aperture, in space-time between two points in space, permitting a vessel to travel between those points instantaneously.

The power required to create such an aperture is immense. Minimum power requirements to operate a jump drive are estimated to be more than 1,000 times greater than that of subspace traversal. These power requirements vary based upon the size of the vessel and the length of time which the aperture should endure.

The distance that a ship can jump is limited to roughly 100,000 light-years, and typically requires a short period between jumps of two or more days.

The "speeds" that are achievable through jump drive technology far exceed those achievable by subspace traversal. In fact, the jump drive makes intra-galaxy travel virtually instantaneous. Inter-galaxy travel varies depending upon the distance between galaxies, but may be reduced to a matter of months.

The Emori achieved jump drive technology approximately 16,000 years ago. Shortly after having developed the jump drive, all Emori ships had been equipped with the technology.

No other known species have achieved jump drive technology.

Thimoid Empire

The **Thimoid Empire**, officially the **Thimoid Authority**, and rarely called the **Authority**, is the political entity that rules the Thimoid species and a galactic Great Power.

The Empire is an authoritarian state ruled by a military dictator. Dissent and non-sanctioned expression are harshly oppressed and military service is obligatory.

The Empire has maintained an aggressively expansionist and xenophobic philosophy since its foundation in 2186, and has fought numerous wars with the Caloctoran Hegemony and the Yalon StarCorp.

The Empire is the most populous state in the galaxy, largely due to the Thimoids' rapid reproduction rates, an abundance of habitable planets near their home system, and long period of time their species has been active on the interstellar stage.

Prior to the foundation of the Empire, the Thimoids were ruled by the Kingdom of Thimmia, a semi-feudal state similar in many ways to the government of the Volkar Stellar Imperium. The Kingdom was founded several centures before the invention of the Thimoid hyperdrive in ~1900, and survived until a successful coup in 2186, which replaced the semi-feudal system with a centralized Imperial authority controlled by a military dictator.
Savelk

Savelk in 2318

**Savelk**, commonly known as **Ukna** **Savelk** until 2341, is an arid planet in the Volkar Stellar Commonwealth.

Under the Volkar Stellar Imperium, Savelk served as the seat of House Ukna, and from 2328 until 2341 also as the capital of the Stellar Imperium and the seat of the Imperial House Rhych.

Savelk was the first planet colonized by the Volkar species, with the first settlers arriving under the leadership of Duke Zhkar, of House Ukna, in the year 2067. It is now the most populous planet in the Volkar Stellar Commonwealth aside from Kavalk, the Volkar homeworld.
Supremacy Movement

The **Supremacy Movement**, contemporaneously the **Anti-Republicans**, and derisively the **Supremacists**, was a political movement in the Shantarak Republic from 2253 until the collapse of the Republic in 2299.

Founded by a small group of senators in 2253, the Supremacy Movement was intended to encourage a military build-up to counter incursions into the Republic by the various Houses of the Volkar Stellar Imperium. Initially enjoying very little widespread support, the Movement began to gain support following the Republic's defeat in the Second Shantarak War.

In 2299, following the Republic's defeat in the Third Shantarak War, and the loss of its most populous core worlds to the Stellar Imperium, supporters of the Supremacy Movement took advantage of the lack of a Republic military to overthrow the remnants of the Senate and initiate a military build-up. The government they initiated, the Coalition of Shantar, was no longer democratic, as they considered the survival of an independent Shantarak state to be of greater importance.
Volkar Planetary Imperium

The Volkar Planetary Imperium is the name applied to the historical empires that ruled the Volkara species before the invention of the hyperdrive and subsequent proclamation of the Volkar Stellar Imperium in 2067. Because these empires existed before the invention of the hyperdrive, they were limited to the planet Kavalk, thus are referred to as the *planetary* imperium, to distinguish them from the later Stellar Imperium.

This name was never used by the empires of the time, which were officially called the Empire of Harhath (from ~1100 to 1499) and the Empire of Rhych (from 1499 to 2067).
Volkar Stellar Imperium

*Not to be confused with the Stellar Imperium of Julau, which was also commonly referred to as the Volkar Stellar Imperium.*

Finu (2198 to 2328) (enslaved primitives)

Shantari (2298 to 2341)

The **Volkar Stellar Imperium**, officially the **Stellar Imperium of Rhych**, and also known as the **Volkar Star Empire**, the **Volkar Imperium**, the **Volkar Empire**, or simply as the **Imperium** or **Empire**, was the interstellar political entity of the Volkar species from the advent of the Volkar hyperdrive in 2067 until the end of the Volkar Revolutionary Wars in 2341. It was a galactic Great Power from approximately 2150 until 2328.

The Stellar Imperium was ruled by the Imperial House Rhych and for most of its history had its capital at Rhych Kavalk.

Founded upon the first successful interstellar transit made by the Volkara, in the year 2067, the Stellar Imperium was a feudal state, comprised of several largely independent factions, called the Great Houses, and a larger number of smaller factions, called the Middle and Lesser Houses.

While nominally a united entity under the rule of the Imperator, or Emperor, conflicts between the various Houses within the Stellar Imperium were frequent, and foreign affairs, like wars with xeno powers, were often left to the various Houses to pursue as they wished.

The Stellar Imperium largely collapsed following the events of the Volkar Revolution in 2328, splitting into a number of successor states during the period known as the Volkar Revolutionary Wars. Throughout this period, the Stellar Imperium remained nominally existent as the **Stellar Imperium of Rhych**, though its recognition as the Imperial state was limited. In 2341 the Stellar Imperium's remaining territories were annexed by the newly founded Volkar Stellar Commonwealth.
Rhych Era

The **Rhych Era**, or the **Era of Rhych**, is the period of Volkara history beginning with the foundation of the Imperial House Rhych at the conclusion of the Great Sundering in 1499, to the present. Its name is derived from the ruling Imperial House Rhych, which has ruled uninterrupted through the era.
Houses of the Volkar Stellar Imperium

The Volkar Stellar Imperium is a feudal state divided into various largely independent Houses. These Houses comprise a strong hierarchy, organized around three Great Houses, several Middle Houses, which are largely independent of the Great Houses, and many Lesser Houses, which are declared vassals of the Great Houses or the Imperial House Rhych.

Grikoliok Republic

The **Grikoliok Republic**, officially the **Republic of the Grikoliok**, is the political entity that governs the Grikolk species.

The Republic is a democratic, but stratified state, in which citizenship is granted only to those who serve the state in the military, scientific, or diplomatic corps. Non-citizens have few rights in the Republic, but non-Griklok citizens enjoy total equality with native Griklok citizens.

Historically, the Republic has maintained a policy of mild xenophilia and pacifism.

The Republic has a population much lower than most advanced civilizations, probably due to slow reproduction rates of the Griklok species.
Insular Movement

The **Insular Movement** is an ideological and political movement in the Emorian Union that opposes the exploration of other galaxies, in competition with the Distance Movement, which supports exploration. This opposition is focused largely against the *Venture* Expedition, the first Emorian mission to explore another galaxy.

The primary reason for its opposition to exploration is a two-fold concern for potential consequences of discovering other intelligent species. The first concern is for the effect that Emorian arrival would have on xeno civilizations. The second is for the effect that other civilizations would have on Emorian civilization.

Some in the Insular Movement suspect that Emorian history may not have been as peaceful as is commonly believed. During the *Venture* Expedition, AD Janson encouraged Thomas Greene to consider the true probability that the Emorians were the only intelligent life in their home galaxy, insinuating that other species likely existed at some point in history, but that they were somehow driven to extinction in the distant past. This is known as the Great Fall. Janson believes that exploring a new galaxy may precipitate the same fate for any intelligent lifeforms the Expedition meets.

In some cases, the Movement has resorted to violence to further its goals: operatives of the Movement killed Captain Ava Paige, Ambassador Jorge Esposito, and Ambassador Aris Jones during the *Venture* Expedition, and dispatched an unknown vessel to attempt to destroy the *Venture*.
Great Sundering

The **Great Sundering**, occasionally also called the **First Great Sundering**, to distinguish it from the Volkar Civil War, which is also sometimes called the Great Sundering, was a civil war fought between the Great Houses of the Volkar Planetary Imperium from 1476 to 1499, which marks the transition from the Old Imperium to the Rhych Era.

The largest war in Volkara history until that point, the Great Sundering by 1481 had become a global war involving every Great House, and was recognized as a conflict over the future leadership of the Imperium.

By the end of the war, the Imperial House Harhath and six of the seven Great Houses had been destroyed. The victorious Rhych, of House Fythfikh, declared himself Imperator and abolished his own house, in order to found the Imperial House Rhych, which continues to rule the Stellar Imperium to the present.
Volkar Revolutionary Wars

The **Volkar Revolutionary Wars**, also called the **Revolutionary Wars**, were a series of concurrent and overlapping wars fought between the successor states of the Volkar Stellar Imperium, occasionally with support from xeno powers, which began following the Volkar Revolution in 2328 and continued until the defeat of the Volkar Stellar Imperium and the subsequent foundation of the Volkar Stellar Commonwealth in 2341.

Characterized by intense fighting by various groups, with very few internal alliances and a near-total collapse of the traditional Volkar social system, the Revolutionary Wars are often considered a later stage of the Volkar Revolution.

While the defeat of the Imperial House Rhych and the foundation of the Commonwealth is typically considered to mark the end of the Revolutionary Wars, the following Second Volkar Civil War was mostly an extension of the pre-existing conflicts between the remaining successor states, and is therefore also occasionally considered a part of the Revolutionary Wars.
Alliance of Pol Utesk

The **Alliance of Pol Utesk** was a successor state to the Volkar Stellar Imperium, and a political entity that ruled a portion of the Volkara. It existed during the Volkar Revolutionary Wars, from 2335 until its defeat in the Second Volkar Civil War and subsequent annexation by the Volkar Stellar Commonwealth in 2347.

The Alliance's short existence was dominated by conflict, especially with the Stellar Imperium of Julau, the Commonwealth of Kavalk, the Commonwealth of Lishval, and the K'Taknor Republic.

Founded by the remnants of forces loyal to House Siplim and House Scipiton, the Alliance comprised the majority of former Siplim and Scipiton territories, and had its capital on the planet Pol Utesk.
Renjathvix

The **Renjath species**, also called the **Renjathvix**, are an avian species that originated on the tropical planet Keslik Varthip. A major species in the galaxy, the Renjathvix founded and maintain both the Renjath Grand Republic and the Renjath trade network, the largest trade network in the galaxy.

The Renjathvix achieved FTL-capability in 1895.
