Description (Specifications)[edit]
A "pocket empire" in Leonidae Sector, located coreward of Melantris, with which it both trades and competes for trade elsewhere. Third Imperium contact with the Dynchia of Melantris came through the Hegemony. The Hegemony has also fought occasional wars with the Dynchia, usually when greed or spite got the better of it; in all of these wars the martial-but-reasonable Dynchia performed more successfully, forcing the Harodari to sue for peace.
The Harodar Hegemony is located in Lombard Subsector, at the worlds of Idunukagaka (2013), Iknugagaka (2014), and Ilnuhagaka (2015). Ilnuhagaka, the Harodar capital, is a high-population world with an A-class starport and a naval base; the other two worlds are an agricultural settlement feeding the homeworld and a thinly-populated world situated between the other two systems, colonised largely to secure the link between them.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
In the chaos of the Nth Interstellar War, certain Vilani Imperium malcontents took the opportunity to "slip away" from their posts, caste positions, and other restraints. The Dishaan, non-Humans native to Provalan, were commonly involved. The old Dishaan Hegemony -- Ushkaq Sasutxi -- had been dismantled by the Vilani during the Consolidation Wars. For millennia, the naturally selfish Dishaan had been under constant surveillance, from birth to death. The Vilani strategy was to make certain that any deviation from acceptable norms was punished to an extent far greater than the potential gain of the crime. Most Dishaan weren’t allowed to leave their world unless they had considerable assets under Vilani control, which could be confiscated if their owner got out of line. As certain regions of the Imperium fell under Terran control, be it the chaos of war or more permissible Terran economic systems, the Dishaan often reverted to their natural chaos, falling back into “bad habits”. Some Humans succumbed with them. A coalition of Vilani Humans, Dishaan, and occasional members of other Imperial races (such as Answerin and Suerrat), deserted in the chaos and struck out into the Hinterworlds and beyond, looking for freedom and riches. They founded a pocket empire out in then-uncharted space, and involved themselves in the shifty, self-interested pack mentality that had built the old Ushkaq Sasutxi but was so appalling to mainstream Vilani sensibilities.
In time, they made contact with local cultures like the Dynchia and the Ithklur -- both of whom were militant enough to easily "chide" the Harodari when they overreached, and reasonable/benign enough to live-and-let-live otherwise, rather than remove the irritant permanently.
