Tri-Empire

The Imperial Triturative of Tasia (more commonly known as "the Tri-Empire") is a Type Ic Galactic Power (Hereditary Monarchy) situated to the west of the Galactic Concordat, and north of the Crimson Armada. In terms of size, it is slightly larger than the Galactic Concordat, making the Tri-Empire the largest known Galactic Power.

Unlike most other Galactic Powers, the Tri-Empire is less technologically dependent when it comes to civilian economy and resource acquisition. It is also one of the only powers in the galaxy to allow slavery, as well as a "clines" system. The Imperial clines system is strictly stratified, in which individuals are able to move between certain levels based on money, patronage and influence. Whilst it is acceptable to flaunt wealth, treating people well is a question of honor - and this includes slaves. Having an unpaid debt is seen as utterly dishonorable - an honorable Tri-Empire citizen would sell themselves into slavery to clear a debt they couldn't otherwise afford. And it is also possible for a citizen of the Tri-Empire to leave slavery if they have payed off all outstanding debts.

The Law (the Lex Imperialis) of the Tri-Empire is seen and enforced by the Imperial House of Representatives, who are lead by the three "Emperors" of the three original Empires. The House of Representatives acts much like a Senate, but every system, corporation, guilds and families of high importance are each allowed to hold a single "seat" in the House. The members of the House themselves are above the law, and can even order executions. But the actions of each Member of the House can be judged by other Members as well.

In the Tri-Empire, most activities and products are legal, where they otherwise aren't in other galactic nations. However, many things are frowned upon, such as the excessive use of narcotics and cloning. Due to the Tri-Empire's economic policy of wealth projection, many consumer goods, vehicles and buildings have a strong emphasis on opulence, style and quality with no expense spared.

The Three Empires
The Tasia system was once host to a collection of three settled worlds during the Golden Age, and were largely self-sufficient by the time the Age of Dissidence arrived. Thus, when the Age of Dissidence arrived, the Tasia system was largely unscathed through 10,000 years of Galactic torment. This era between the start of the Age of Dissidence and 10,000 years later is known to the Tri-Empire as the "Solar Era", in which the inhabitants and nations of the three planets kept to their own to develop independently. Knowledge of the Galactic Empire of old was common in the early decades of this era, but was quickly misinterpreted as a somewhat divine predecessor to the Tri-Empire.

According to Tri-Empire documents, the Golden Age ended with a unified revolt and uprising of xenos living in the Galactic Empire, and this idea later led to many xenophobic ideologies in the later Tri-Empire.
