History & Background (Dossier)

While the world isn't interdicted, Travellers are advised to restrict themselves to the highport, downport, and rather pedestrian startown. Idas is an authoritarian state unfriendly to most outsiders.

Government

Idas is a full-fledged police state. It severely limits all aspects of its citizens’ lives, and indeed Idasians aren't allowed to leave the system, with interstellar travel limited to high-ranking members of the Ruling Council and the Sovereign, and then only with an oversized force of security officers.

The Sovereign of Idas is the executive authority. The Sovereign is allegedly selected under the advisement of the Ruling Council. In fact, the role is appointed by the previous Sovereign -- usually a male blood relative. Upon selection, the Sovereign is ritually blinded and his eyes are replaced with cybernetic ones that supposedly enable him to see into the souls of his subjects.

Architecture

All of the arcologies on Idas are panopticons, circular structures observable by a central listening and viewing post.

Imperial High (Landed) Nobility

Idas, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estates of three members of the Imperial Nobility, who are charged with overseeing the world.

• It holds the estate of an Imperial knight.
• It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial count.
• It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial minor duke.
