'''Martial Space''' is a multi-species international union occupying much of [[Aylathiya]] near the [[Lux Aeterna|galactic core]]. The region is named for the deity, [[Mars (Cosmoria)|Mars]], a figure recognized as divine or holy in all three major religions and most of the minor religions. The most common faith, [[Martial Civil Religion]], was official state doctrine until recently following mounting pressure to secularize. Today, the [[Greater Martial Consilium]] is meant to be religiously neutral, despite the spear iconography on its flag. The head of the Consilium, the [[Imperator (Cosmoria)|Imperator]], is the voice of Mars, and therefore the people who compose the deity—"''Mars Martialis Spatio es, populo es, gensa es''"—"Mars is Martial Space, its people, its nation." |
|||
Over the centuries, the role of the Imperator had been the subject of much debate. So intense was the debate that nations would take up arms, often when something could be gained from doing so of course. The '''Warring States Period''', emerging as the [[Dominion of Astraeus]] collapsed, was replete with warfare. At the time, Mars was believed to embody the state—which state exactly was up to the outcome of warfare. These states were absolute monarchies, impossible to unify and impossible to develop. |
|||
The intoxicating idea, the sweet promise of a united Martial Space, has a terrifying potential. Were there to ever be a successful campaign to unite Cosmoria, it would need to start here. Were its peoples, rulers, and powers put towards a single front, any achievement could be had. It is this alluring idea that has lead many civilizations to their doom, the very nature of the region inhibiting any true unification. Nations from both within and without have learned to leave the realm to its own devices. |
|||
The '''Wars of Unification''', in which the [[Republic of Drusidia]] grew to dominate first [[Eos]] and then the dozen nearest stars, was a centuries-spanning process. At its height in 9721, the Republic controlled most of modern Martial Space. The Republic's voracious conquest was fueled entirely by nascent reindustrialization in its core of [[Enyo]]. To this day, the city of Enyo is the wealthiest in Martial Space and the capital of the Consilium. The Republic could simply outproduce, outgun, and outnumber any of its neighbors. |
|||
The longest unification in history was that of the legendary [[Triumvirate Civilization]]. Stretching across all 15 of Martial Space's stars, the Triumvirate unseated [[Sedrua]] as the rulers of [[Aylathiya]] and were well on their way to universal hegemony. The common era is defined by the collapse of this mighty civilization, its collapse so traumatic for the universe that many places have still not recovered. For Martial Space, the collapse was so traumatic that the population fell to under one trillion—a number divided across ten species. Soon after, the region fell into endless conflict as what relics that could be preserved were bitterly fought over. |
|||
The last war of unification ended right as the [[War of the Ancients]] began. The ancient superpower, the [[Commonwealth of Post-Sedruan States]] launched a religious crusade against the Republic. Its rusted factories roared to life as per government decree. The resulting war involved every major power in Aylathiya and was ultimately a republic victory. Drusidian generals and politicians rushed to divide the newly acquired lands, threatening the relatively centralized Republic. They demanded political power in the '''Consilium''', the legislature of the Republic. |
|||
There would be one group that came to worship war, the [[Neo-Terranism|Neo-Terran Party]], whose ideology was devoted to the maximization of conflict. This would be the origin of [[Mars (Amaranth Legacy)|Mars]], the embodiment of war itself. As they became more devoted to war, the inner circle of the party would become [[Paladins]], those so devoted to a concept that they manifest [[Thaumaturgy|powers]] related to their pursuits. The Neo-Terrans killed [[Titania]] and Mars killed [[Ma'eau]], two of the Triumvirate's rulers. From here, Mars would make war against [[Nocturne]], [[Solomon of Kristadt]], the [[Alkan Order]], [[Abnormal Commodities Exchange|A.C.E.]], and even entire species that got in its way. Today, a complex ritual keeps the entity in check, contained within the [[Imperator]], the ruler of Martial Space. This gives them tremendous power, both literally and in a political sense. |
|||
[[Jezebel's War]], fought first by Archon Jezebel Torrent-Drusus and then by [[Imperatrix Jezebel]], erupted to suppress the growing calls for reform. Not only new territories but the disgruntled countryside aristocracy, remnants of the Dominion of Astraeus, fought for political power. Jezebel's death left a power vacuum in Enyo. [[Imperatrix Wren]], then General Wren Zandria, organized an emergency conference with provincial governors. An impromptu vote over radio wave cemented the creation of the [[Greater Martial Consilium]]. The rank of each "allod," essentially a state in the Consilium, was intensely argued over in the years-long session of the Consilium. |
|||
An estimated 15 trillion reside within this realm, split between [[Sagittarium]] and the [[Greater Martial Consilium]]. The region has had many phases in which the organization of the central government changed. One thing has remained constant, however. No modern government has ever had sovereignty over its territory. The central government shares sovereignty with thousands of disparate organizations. The result is a convoluted mess of a political system that never qualifies as a "state" but merely thousands of para-states vying for supremacy under the Imperator. |
|||
In the end, the Consilium was a check on the power on the executive, headed by the "Imperator" who represented all people of Mars, meaning all people represented in the Consilium. The Republic of Drusidia became the central government of a sprawling nation and its various former colonies and provinces became checks on the power of the central government. |

Martial Space is nearly evenly divided in population between what is known as "The Heavens" and "Eos." The Heavens are simply all of the stars closest to Eos. These fifteen stars wrap around the core of Cosmoria like a hook, hence their great importance in trade throughout history. A small assembly of stars directly orbit [[Nocturne]] and lies a ways into the core. Throughout history, power has bounced back and forth between Eos and the heavens, each side attempting to rule the other. |
|||

|||
The section of the galactic halo above Martial Space is known as [[Un'oit|Un'oit Space]], named for its primary inhabitants. Once a disunited warrior people, the Un'oit united shortly before the Common Era, forming the [[Un'oit Collective]]. This council of warlords would share power with [[Humans]], splitting Martial Space in two sections both under the rule of the [[Kaiser]], the first ruler of Martial Space after the Triumvirate's collapse. |

|||
Martial Space has many eras in which history is divided. These eras are defined by how the central government of Martial Space operated. There is rarely a stark transition between the eras. Flag changes are a colloquial way many define the eras even if governance does not change. The dates do not necessarily represent the date of formation of these empires but instead represent the time at which these civilizations controlled a simple majority of the population in Martial Space. |
|||
The government of Martial Space has three branches—The Aurora Commission, the Imperator, and the Greater Martial Consilium. All sovereignty is said to derive from the people, from Mars, and therefore from the Consilium and Imperator. The Consilium represents the people in a practical sense and the Imperator in a spiritual sense. The Aurora Commission is the large bureaucratic apparatus in charge of taxation, public works, and most of the military. |

|||
The Imperator, like the Archon of the Republic, has unlimited power save for limitations laid out in the '''Edict of Decency'''. The Consilium, through the Aurora Commission, controls taxation, the treasury, and Martial Space's large military, the '''Ruby Spear'''. The Imperator commands the much smaller '''Ruby Shield''', essentially an independent military from the capital city, although even the capital is not the sole domain of the Imperator. A group of margraves, elected officials despite their title, rule the capital in a hybrid executive-legislative council with the Imperator. |

Martial Space is a multi-species international union occupying much of Aylathiya near the galactic core. The region is named for the deity, Mars, a figure recognized as divine or holy in all three major religions and most of the minor religions. The most common faith, Martial Civil Religion, was official state doctrine until recently following mounting pressure to secularize. Today, the Greater Martial Consilium is meant to be religiously neutral, despite the spear iconography on its flag. The head of the Consilium, the Imperator, is the voice of Mars, and therefore the people who compose the deity—"Mars Martialis Spatio es, populo es, gensa es"—"Mars is Martial Space, its people, its nation."
Over the centuries, the role of the Imperator had been the subject of much debate. So intense was the debate that nations would take up arms, often when something could be gained from doing so of course. The Warring States Period, emerging as the Dominion of Astraeus collapsed, was replete with warfare. At the time, Mars was believed to embody the state—which state exactly was up to the outcome of warfare. These states were absolute monarchies, impossible to unify and impossible to develop.
The Wars of Unification, in which the Republic of Drusidia grew to dominate first Eos and then the dozen nearest stars, was a centuries-spanning process. At its height in 9721, the Republic controlled most of modern Martial Space. The Republic's voracious conquest was fueled entirely by nascent reindustrialization in its core of Enyo. To this day, the city of Enyo is the wealthiest in Martial Space and the capital of the Consilium. The Republic could simply outproduce, outgun, and outnumber any of its neighbors.
The last war of unification ended right as the War of the Ancients began. The ancient superpower, the Commonwealth of Post-Sedruan States launched a religious crusade against the Republic. Its rusted factories roared to life as per government decree. The resulting war involved every major power in Aylathiya and was ultimately a republic victory. Drusidian generals and politicians rushed to divide the newly acquired lands, threatening the relatively centralized Republic. They demanded political power in the Consilium, the legislature of the Republic.
Jezebel's War, fought first by Archon Jezebel Torrent-Drusus and then by Imperatrix Jezebel, erupted to suppress the growing calls for reform. Not only new territories but the disgruntled countryside aristocracy, remnants of the Dominion of Astraeus, fought for political power. Jezebel's death left a power vacuum in Enyo. Imperatrix Wren, then General Wren Zandria, organized an emergency conference with provincial governors. An impromptu vote over radio wave cemented the creation of the Greater Martial Consilium. The rank of each "allod," essentially a state in the Consilium, was intensely argued over in the years-long session of the Consilium.
In the end, the Consilium was a check on the power on the executive, headed by the "Imperator" who represented all people of Mars, meaning all people represented in the Consilium. The Republic of Drusidia became the central government of a sprawling nation and its various former colonies and provinces became checks on the power of the central government.
History
Government
See Aurora Commission, Imperator, Greater Martial Consilium
The government of Martial Space has three branches—The Aurora Commission, the Imperator, and the Greater Martial Consilium. All sovereignty is said to derive from the people, from Mars, and therefore from the Consilium and Imperator. The Consilium represents the people in a practical sense and the Imperator in a spiritual sense. The Aurora Commission is the large bureaucratic apparatus in charge of taxation, public works, and most of the military.
The Imperator, like the Archon of the Republic, has unlimited power save for limitations laid out in the Edict of Decency. The Consilium, through the Aurora Commission, controls taxation, the treasury, and Martial Space's large military, the Ruby Spear. The Imperator commands the much smaller Ruby Shield, essentially an independent military from the capital city, although even the capital is not the sole domain of the Imperator. A group of margraves, elected officials despite their title, rule the capital in a hybrid executive-legislative council with the Imperator.
