Duchy of Zeng

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

Description (Specifications)[edit]

The concentration of most of the duchy's worlds into a central cluster has significant trade advantages.

The Denebian Duchies[edit]

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.

Zeng Politics (specifics)[edit]

The Duchy of Zeng benefits from good relations with the Duchy of Trin in the Spinward Marches Sector. Trin is not a competitor for the coveted (as yet hypothetical) title of Sector Duke of Deneb, for obvious reasons, so deals with Zeng in straight economic-benefit terms.

Zeng usually cooperates with the duchies of Usani and Atsah, but is strong enough to resist them and will sometimes play the two against each other.

The duchy's distance from strong competing worlds gives it a buffer zone and allows it to project power into the rimward edge of Gulf Subsector -- and to completely dominate the affairs of the tiny slice of worlds that is Macon Subsector in Reft.
