Oritan Supremacy

The **Oritan Supremacy** is a **Anarcho-Capitalistic Empire** based in the **Pridwen Galaxy**.

## Biology

The **Oritan** are a **Quadrupedal Species**, similar to that of the **Chioni Commune**, standing about 2 feet tall, similar to take a stand **Small Terran Canine**. Their **Home Planet** of **Oritan** is considered to be very mountainous, leading to the Oritan species evolving wings at some point of their lives.

Being a quadrupedal species, many examples of **Oritan Technology** are adapted to their unique physiology and therefore cannot be used by **"Walkers"**, the term the Oritan use to refer to non-quadrupedal species. As a result, bipedal species would be unable to fly or even fit in **Oritan Vessels**, which are usually based around holding only one or two Oritan at a time. To move cargo, the Oritan employ a **Cargo Train** system where individual pods will be pulled by an Oritan ship rather then stored aboard.

Oritan blood is known to highly prized, as they lack **Blood Factors** common to many different species, resulting in their blood being able to be transfused into any organic lifeform of a similar bio-chemical composition.

## History

The **Oritan Supremacy** were first recorded in the archives of the **Ekwidine Republic** almost **one hundred years ago**, ancient texts from that time describe the Oritan as a **chaotic** and **authoritarian power** which sought to dominate encountered life under their Empire.

With space the borders the Ekwidine Republic, the state of the Oritan, known as the **Oritan Supremacy** attempted to enslave the unprepared Ekwidine over **90 years prior** to the discovery of the **Pridwen Galaxy (Nubecula Minor)** by the **United Systems Commonwealth** in **2454**.

The **"War of Wings"** as the Ekwidine would eventually know it, lasted from **2360** to **2364** and saw the Ekwidine originally overwhelmed by the smaller, yet more numerous Oritan vessels. During this time, considerable amount of Ekwidine were forced into slavery, where the Oritan Corporation (called **"Corpos"** on Oritan), **Orsanisa** saw the Ekwidine as a low cost alternative to the construction of tradition **"Helper Robotics"** which had been used on Oritan for all heavy duty services, such as mining for hundreds of years.

As a result, many Ekwidine had parts of the brains amputated to lobotomise them and fitted with simple **Neural Implants** to ensure their compliance and efficiency with simple tasks such as mining on the Oritan homeworld.

After several successful campaigns, the Oritan were eventually pushed back into their space by the emerging **Ion Weaponry Technology** of the Ekwidine and the colonies that they had annexed were liberated, with many, now lobotomised Ekwidine returned to their families to be cared for. This produced a massive public outrage and call for the Oritan to be exterminated by the families of the victims however the **Ekwidine Government** decided on a weak **Peace Agreement** instead, facing internal instability as a result of the war.

By **2454**, relations with the Oritan were still considered to be tense despite the peace agreement as the Oritan had made no attempt to reconciliate with the Ekwidine and Oritan businesses remained banned from operating within Ekwidine space.

## Society

Unlike other species, the **Oritan Supremacy** do not have an established government, abolishing centralised states in favour of a **stateless society** with systems of private property enforced by private agencies, free markets and self-ownership, which extends the concept to include control of private property as part of the self.

At the heart of Oritan society is the **"Big Five"**, the largest and most powerful **commercial corporations** on Oritan, each owning a substantial amount of the planet. As a result, most Oritan will spend their lives in service to these corporations, with each self-regulation their own population under it, all working for the enrichment of that corporation. This philosophy has lead to great technological strides on Oritan with the core doctrine of **"Funds before Life"**, which promotes an abolishment of **Moral Philosophy and Ethics** in favour of anything that **promotes financial growth** is inherently good.

As a result there is no **standardised anti-crime agency** on Oritan, instead, each of the "Big Five" maintain their own **Private Security Firms** the enforce law and order with a variety of different **penal measures**, fulfilling the traditional roles of courts and the policy.

Oritan generally fellow a religion known as **"The Rule"**, which is based around the idea that the **Corporations** of the **Big Five** are divine in nature and must be protected as part of the natural order. Members of this religion are encouraged to attack protesters and even report co-workers that propose unionisation. In reality this religion was created and maintain with the involvement of all five major companies in order to install a sense of order within their staff, the text contains the idea of the **"Great Sacrifice"** where members of the church will volunteer to amputate appendages for medical testing or a host of other product testing, considering it a great and divine honour.
