Federation of Heron

n/a

Goals

The Federation of Heron was formed with several nearby systems for self-protection from other political entities like the Imperium, and to gain control over the criminal and piracy syndicates, cartels, and associated crews that operate from those systems. The Federation has no coherent goal beyond profiting from their illicit activities.

History & Background (Dossier)

Worlds in this subsector were originally settled circa 700 to 900 by Solomani and Vilani settlers. The relative isolation of the Even subsector made it an ideal location for the creation of criminal organizations. As the number of such organizations and systems hosting them increased some began to form larger groups for protection against each other and against increasing interest from outside governments seeking to end their operations. Seven of these systems banded together to form the Federation of Heron circa 1000. The Heron system was selected as neutral ground and the capitol of this emerging political entity. The resulting "federation" is really a collection of criminal syndicates, cabals, cartels, crews. The Heron system gives these groups a place to meet that none control.

Technology & Trade (Economy)

The planets vary from TL–5 to TL–14.

Military & Intelligence (Force Projection)

They have one military base. They have no Scout Bases nor Naval Bases. They have two class A shipyards capable of building space craft. One interesting design seen prowling here in the clouds around a grav suspended sky city is the Sardis Class Frigate, owned by General Klytus. There is a squadron of nine Heron Class Scout-Interceptors manned by some form of elite federal marshals.
