History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
In 626 the Vanguard Consulate, or Driantia Steblenzhtia, was created after the First Frontier War to provide information and a buffer state to rimward of the Zhodani Consulate. The Zhodani word "steblenzh" is loosely translated as "vanguard", and the name "Vanguard Reaches" was later adopted by most races as the name for the sector. The Zhodani use of the word "vanguard" is clearly a reference to the rimward frontier from a Zhodani perspective, although from an Imperial point of view "vanguard" can refer to the most distant reaches of its spinward frontier.
The original capital world was renamed Chyia Nedlkel after the political radical and exploratory pioneer who advocated the abolition of the nobility in favor of widespread psionic testing of all citizens. The reforms of High Councillor Nedlkel were installed on the world in the Imperial year 666, but subtle efforts by the Consulate leadership have eased the local culture back toward a more conformist stance in the centuries since.
The Vanguard Consulate was reorganized after the Third Frontier War in 996, and the polity took on its current Anglic name, the Colonnade Province. The Province is patterned quite closely after the workings of the home government in the Zhodani Consulate.
Administrative Capitals[edit]
The current district seats and four regional capitals of the Colonnade Province consist of the following worlds:
- Chyia Nedlkel (0406 Vanguard Reaches)
- Dleiblafia (0514 Vanguard Reaches)
- Niekladlief (0511 Vanguard Reaches)
- Yavakrbi (0521 Vanguard Reaches)
Foreign Relations[edit]
This Colonnade Province maintains good diplomatic relations with the Altarean Confederation. Negotiations with the Trelyn Domain and the Aslan colonies have been, at best, neutral. No significant wars have been fought by the Colonnade Province, although a sizable military force has always been maintained.
As of Imperial date 1120, the Colonnade Province governed worlds in 80 systems with a total population of over 36 billion sophonts.
