Duchy of Pretoria

An administrative subdivision of the Third Imperium, one of the duchies of politically volatile Deneb Sector.

Description (Specifications)

The Denebian Duchies

There is no Sector Duke in Deneb. Differences of opinion or agenda between the seven duchies are settled by way of diplomacy or force. Major worlds build and maintain Deneb's capital fleets, but these fleets are all Imperial by default and are not used for resolving internal, regional disputes. This is an Imperial law, put into effect after the Civil War period. As a result, Dukes in the Deneb Sector only have a small percentage of a duchy's resources available for resolving local conflict. Each Duke maintains a number of small starships for various purposes but it is always more cost effective to hire companies and mercenaries for general-purpose commercial and tactical work. It is also common for a duchy to sell Letters of Marque and Reprisal to accomplish certain general objectives. The duchies live in a milieu of shifting alliances, as each acts and reacts to the changing political and business climate of the sector.

Pretoria Politics (specifics)

The Duke of Pretoria has a moderate amount of power, with enough strength to dominate the Aramis Trace, patrol its border with the Vargr Extents, and fight some proxy battles against Inar in Lamas Subsector.

The Duke typically acts in cooperation with the Duke of Sabine. Affairs along the Aramis Trace are typically handled by Count Urnas.
