History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Stoner doesn't allow Imperial companies even to maintain an office in its territory, though it is willing to trade on a sporadic basis. The original Grand Duke's family were powerful on Sylea just before the founding of the Third Imperium, but sold everything they had to finance a colonial expedition far away from Sylean space, meaning to place distance between their people and the society that Cleon Zhunastu (first Emperor of the Third Imperium) was creating.

Technology & Trade (Economy)[edit]

The Grand Duchy does not recognise trade representatives as anything but transient visitors, no matter how long they have been on-planet, and absolutely will not permit ownership of any property by anyone other than a citizen. The Grand Duke does allow small embassies, but routinely ignores or snubs them. Even the Imperial Ambassador is treated with bare courtesy at best, though over the years the endless round of snubs and protests have evolved into a tired ritual and a strange sort of working relationship.

Interstellar Commerce:[edit]

The Grand Duchy does maintain trade with several worlds beyond its borders, and at least a couple of worldships of the Wandering People, though it is stubbornly resistant to outside influence.

Their major trading partners are:

Military & Intelligence (Force Projection)[edit]

The Grand Duchy of Stoner is highly militarized. The Duchy's leadership makes wide and invasive use of propaganda on the population that defense against the Imperial aggression is of the utmost necessity. Revenge against the Third Imperium is a central political goal. The Third Imperium is propagandized at a universal and institutional level. A near hysterical fear of the Imperium is instilled into the population.

The Grand Duchy is also deeply involved in intrigues, spying, and covert operations such as assassinations against the Third Imperium. The military and government make heavy use of psionics and psionic individuals.

The Ducal Household encompasses ground troops, security personnel, naval forces, emergency services and royal couriers. Local defense forces are backed up by Ducal Reserves and Expeditionary Forces. The Ducal Household is well known for the arrogance of its personnel, and vessels entering Stoner space can expect to be stopped and searched by every naval vessel they encounter.
