Description (Specifications)

(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)

A pro-Imperial state in Cabala Subsector (Far Frontiers Sector N), the Biumverate is a stable, well governed political unit of five stellar systems.

Government & Politics

The government is organized into two separate, but equal bodies: the Civilitas and the Militas.

All areas dealing with planetary affairs, population and economics are controlled by the Civilitas, while matters of interplanetary defense, space regulation, and interstellar diplomacy are dealt with by the Militas. The system works extremely well as all parties are more concerned with the well-being of the government than their own particular differences.

Goals

• Regional stability (with a generally pro-Imperial stance).
• Security and defense of the realm.
• Guarantee of interstellar trade and commerce.

Military & Intelligence

They have a single Naval Base and a single Exploration Base. Four of the five worlds have native shipyards or boatyards for the manufacture and assembly of space ships and small craft. The Biumvirate Battle Fleet is charged with protecting the government's interests in this region of space.
