Description (Specifcations)

This nation was noted as being in decline in the 990s. Possession of the administrative apparatus had become a divisive issue among member worlds, though the central government lacked any real power, being merely a political ornament. By 990 the Margravate had all but broken down completely; the Margrave had been nothing but a figurehead for centuries, and member worlds had been jockeying for influence and control over their neighbours for decades.

History & Background (Dossier)

The Margravate was a fairly large interstellar state centered on three clusters of worlds, lying mostly in the Delta quadrant of the Glimmerdrift Reaches Sector. The Margravate existed (in one form or another) since the last days of the Rule of Man, though in that time it was conquered, liberated, expanded, reduced to only 3 worlds, and at least twice wracked by internal wars.

By 1105, it was defunct.

Overall, the Margravate was always a very disorganized state. Some worlds had designs on annexing territory outside the boundaries of the polity, such as Dadas, regardless of what the central government said. Economic policy was similarly fragmented. Some worlds were heavily influenced by corporations of the Glimmerdrift Trade Consortium, others tried to be self-sufficient.

Outside challenges to the Margravate included the Beree Kanval, a mid-tech alien state on the world Humans catalogued as 947-319, and the Loyal Nineworlds Republic.

Military & Intelligence (Force Projection)

The Margravate traditionally maintained a naval force controlled by the central government, composed of vessels constructed specifically for it, and crewed by personnel from across the polity. However, to no-one's surprise, the Margravate Navy was bitterly divided along factional lines. Many worlds wanted to see its resources divided up among them, with the only obstacle to this being lack of agreement on the form this division would take. The Margravate Navy and Mobile Force Command (ground forces) were equipped mostly with TL-10 or TL-11 systems, with some imported higher tech components carried aboard major warships.

Archipelago and H-10 had great influence over naval maintenance, and so considerable political power.

In addition to the Navy vessels, various member worlds maintained private navies, some of which came to rival the Margravate Navy in size and capability.
