Crimson Armada

The Crimson Armada (Traditional Sonand:"Carmesím Armadiqué") is a Type IId Galactic Power (Military Junta) bordering the south of the Galactic Concordat, east of the Tri-Empire, as well as west of the Void-Fang Corporation. Covering an area of approximately 52,000 Ly² (4,000 Pc²), it hosts approximately 50 systems with populations greater than half a billion. The Armada's capital of Tytanica, a cold, methane-rich moon, lies within the star system of Iranus. The Crimson Armada's capital and most populous system is Iranus, with the second and third most populous systems being Trepin and Korwie respectively.

Demographics
According to the Armadian Census of 200 ACW, the total population of the Crimson Armada was 45,911,128,293. The most densely-populated world of Trepin Prime has an average population density of 280 individuals per square kilometre. The most widely-used and national language and is Standard Sonand, but Traditional Sonand and various other languages are commonplace.

The Crimson Lance
In the year 834 BCW, a Human male by the name of Reyuis Crimson had established a space fleet centered around the Isolated Human Colony of Eracustas. This new fleet, dubbed the Crimson Lance, had made promises to bring a new age for the people of Eracustas, one without violence or heavy bureaucratic orders. It was then that Crimson instated himself as the Admiral of the Crimson Lance, and persuaded others to his cause. Now at the time, this wasn't anything unusual, as thousands of factions existed within 30 Light-years of Eracustas alone. However, the Crimson Lance fought for a better galaxy, one with less conflict and suffering.

Initially, the Crimson Lance was a raider faction, raiding cargo fleets of corrupt mega-corporations and empires. Overtime however, the Crimson Lance had operations based in at least 5 other systems outside of Sedaurus. It was around this time that Age-Inhibitors were invented, and Reyuis Crimson subsequently had surgery to implement this new device, slowing his aging considerably.

The Lance Incursion
In 692 BCW, a new Vice-Admiral was elected as Reyuis Crimson's Second-In-Command, after the previous Vice-Admiral died of food poisoning. The new Vice-Admiral was a Human male by the name of Hertalli Bacara. Initially the Admiral and his new SIC got along fairly well, agreeing upon most topics concerning fleet tactics. However, Crimson found himself lost against his lust and greed for power. In due time, he drafted outrageous plans deemed too dangerous by other members of the Armada, but Crimson did not care. Bacara noticed this early on and discretely told his command chain about the occurrence, and planned to overthrow the now-tyrannical Reyuis Crimson.

A New Armada
Independence from the Crimson Lance was declared by Hertalli Bacara in 615 B.C.W. For the first few years, most of the Lance saw Hertalli's Resistance as traitorous, but those thoughts were pushed away as Reyuis Crimson went through more and more dangerous means to crush the resistance. Overtime, more and more of the Lance's members defected to Hertalli's Resistance, in which they were given drastically better conditions.

In terms of conflict, Hertalli's Resistance consisted of a few controlled worlds, which were blockaded by captured and locally-produced warships, in addition to Ground-to-Space (GTS) Ballistic Missile emplacements on the surface. Both of these factors proved difficult for Reyuis to make a breakthrough on these worlds.

Government and Politics
The Stellar State of the Crimson Armada is, as classified by the Thynicken Scale of Sapient Civilizations, a Type IId Galactic Power. The Armada itself is a Military Junta, meaning it is led by a committee of military leaders. Despite this, the Crimson Armada allows it's sovereign planets and systems some degree of autonomy, in which they are allowed to have elections, law enforcement and taxes of their own. The planets and systems under Armadian rule, however, are required to follow the Edict of Iranus and pay taxes to the state.

The Grand Admiral, currently Hertalli "Nova" Bacara, is the head-of-state, as well as commander of the armed forces. His Second-In-Command is Fleet Admiral Codek "Manticore" Black, and will take charge of Bacara's position should he be temporarily unavailable or otherwise dead.

Foreign Relations
The Crimson Armada has a network of 28 diplomatic missions abroad, and maintains relations with the Tri-Empire, the Void-Fang Corporation, as well as the Kvtyyyran Separatist Movement. The Crimson Armada is a member of the Solar Alliance Treaty Organization (SATO) and a beneficiary of the Sedaurus-Iranus Trade Agreement of 540 BCW. The Armada is currently in a Cold War with the Union of Socialist Soviet Planets (USSP).
