Description (Specifications)

The Duchy of Mapepire (pronounced "mah-pay-pee-ray") is a loose coalition of worlds located in the Mapepire Cluster, grouped more as a tourist delight than as a political faction.

The Cluster receives its name from the fact that each of its worlds are accessible to vessels with only jump-1 capability and the snake-like commercial route which connects them. The cluster is considered de rigueur for Beyond's wealthier citizens.

History & Background (Dossier)

The Duchy of Mapepire has always been the poorer neighbor of the Duchy of Trelyn. It generally does not have the tech level of its richer neighbor. It is called a "country province" because its many agricultural worlds have cleaner atmospheres. In addition, the re-Torlus family, that has ruled the Duchy for over 100 years, are conservative and not overly ambitious.

In general this is a good place to travel or trade. Most of the worlds have breathable atmospheres. Officials do not take themselves too seriously and bribes can accomplish a great deal.

Ground Forces

They use a TL–12 Cluster Combat Task Force, similar in size to a regiment.
