Democratic Government in Exile of Rabwhar
The Democratic Government in Exile of Rabwhar is claimed by many to be little more than a better organized corsair band.
- It is a government or polity... in exile.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
The world of Rabwhar (Spinward Marches 1822) is an Imperial member world in the Lunion Subsector of the Spinward Marches that has historically been ruled by a hereditary monarchy. The traditional monarchy was overthrown in 1095.
As a result of the ruling General's perceived collaboration with Sword Worlder officials during the Fifth Frontier War, DGER continues to gain new followers and supporters as the continuing rule of the military junta becomes increasingly disliked. The former King's niece remains alive in exile, and continues to attract followers as she works to rebuild DGER's reputation as a respectable movement and her own image as a lawful ruler. DGER is an uneasy compromise between those elements of the organization comprising the civil servants of the political movement and the raiders that have formed from the revolutionary militants.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The world of Rabwhar is an agricultural world noted for the harvesting and processing of compounds and pharmaceuticals derived from its incredibly abundant native plant life and biota. The former monarch of Rabwhar had become particularly unpopular, having presided over several postponed projects including an additional subsequent 20 year delay in a plan to convert the planet’s Class–D Starport into a Class–B port due to a focus on the conversion of the planetary power grid from a fossil-fuel base to atomic power, and a series of failing harvests of the agro-world's primary source of exports due to a blight that had been imported from off-world.
In the year 1095 the King was deposed in a palace coup, abdicating as revolutionaries took control of the capital city and set up a new government led by his popular niece. The new government was short-lived, however, as planetary armed forces took control of the situation shortly thereafter and forced the leaders of the movement to flee into off-world exile (taking with them the contents of the Rabwhar Royal Bank), leading to the formation on Rabwhar of a military dictatorship led by the commanding General of the Rabwhar Army. The leaders of the Seventeen Day Democracy, as the period of government of the deposed revolutionaries came to be known, formed the Democractic Government in Exile of Rabwhar (DGER), based on the world Shirene (Spinward Marches 2125). [1]
They still claim to be the legitimate rulers of Rabwhar, though the organization has largely degenerated into a band of pirates and raiders, having spent the money taken from Rabwhar on outfitting ships and hiring mercenaries with the original intent of returning to Rabwhar in force and demand reinstatement.
