An interstellar polity, located in the Florian Subsector of The Beyond Sector.

Description[edit]

After the Civil War in the Third Imperium, some of those who had supported failed claimants gathered their households and whatever retainers remained loyal and fled into non-aligned space. One group, led by Leandra Miinilargi, former Countess Fornice, settled the uninhabited garden world of Lod in 631.

Demographics[edit]

  • Human: The vast majority of the population.
  • Small enclaves of Freni are established on Monarchy of Lod worlds.
  • Small enclaves of Vargr might be found.

Interstellar Relations[edit]

The Monarchy was a founding member of the Web Edge Agreement (see, Web Edge Consortium) that established a second trading embassy with the I'Sred*Ni Protectorate. Lod also established tentative contacts with the Stormhaven Republic and the Corellan League early in its history.

A Zhodani embassy is present on Lod, but the Monarchy has never sent an ambassador to the Consulate.

The Monarchy has signed a mutual defense arrangement with Beriel.

Military[edit]

  • Royal Lod Space Force (RLSF): The dominant military service of the Monarchy. A mixture of feudal levy and professional force.
    • More than a hundred 5,000-ton Dragon-class destroyers serve as much as emblems of pride for the Noble Houses than they do an organized military force.
  • Royal Lod Army (RLA): A small force tasked with security operations.
    • The RLA Monarch's Regiment is an elite highly trained unit that protects the Monarch and royal properties.
    • The other ten regiments, including the Eerker Occupation Regiment, have been described as poorly led and trained, though they are well equipped to TL-11 standards.
