Description (Specifications)[edit]
The Katanga Empire is an isolationist pocket empire. Its worlds were settled and ruled by the Principality of Bruhkarr for six centuries, breaking away following Bruhkarr’s Succession Crisis of 615.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Passing through the Katanga Free State -- a representative democracy -- and the Katanga Peoples Combine, a direct democracy, the Katanga worlds became the Katanga Empire when General Javin Oresta took power in 630. Proclaimed emperor in a plebiscite the following year, Javin I was founder of the dynasty that continues to rule the Empire.
However, recent Emperors have had little real power. A vast bureaucracy, the Instruments of State, now governs by inertia and intrigue.
Political Relations[edit]
The Empire has a hostile -- or at best cold -- relationship with the Principality of Bruhkarr. The ongoing civil war on Balleau pits pro-Bruhkarri city states against isolationist and pro-Katangan elements and risks accidental escalation.
Military[edit]
The Katangan Navy is officially named the Instrument of Interstellar Power Projection, or IIPP. It is highly politicised.
Non-canon: They use a variety of surplus Avalar Consulate ships and merchants seized for "taxes" owed and fines charged.
