Seat of Government:
The seat of government for the Vilani Protectorate is the planet Alaamga. Alaamga also serves as the subsector capital and indeed has its own local government. This accumulation of Governmental organisations can be confusing to those not from Alaamga or indeed the Protectorate but it fits entirely with the mindset of the Vilani, e.g.: structure, organisation and a sense of control. The fact all three governmental structures are on one planet just seems right to the Vilani and actually they operate very successfully and completely independantly yet intertwined with each other.
Head of State:
The Vilani Protectorate isn't just led by its government, it's led by its nobility. Many members of the government at all levels are nobles or from noble families. At the top of the noble family tree is the current Emperor, Irnila. Sat beneath and around the throne are several noble Houses all of whom are vying for positions of power, prestige and responsibility all under the favour of the Emperor.
The Emperor has only been on the throne for 12 years and is still a young man and yet to chose a wife; needless to say this is a cause for concern amongst the older nobles who all feel he needs that stability of marriage and children in his life to settle the populace down and ensure internal noble feuding doesn't grow in the Protectorate.
The Emperor, lives in the "Yaelhe Heyiye" which translates to "Crystal Citadel". The citadel is aesthetically beautiful in terms of architechture with its external surfaces creating covered in a panels that refract light and create light rainbows that ensure the building can be seen across the capital city and startown on Alaamga. The Citadel, although stunning is also practical and is heavily guarded by the Vilani Protectorate military, it also boasts its own small starport with facilities to support and maintain a fleet of small ships.

History & Background (Dossier)
| Year (Imperial) | Year (Matzen) | Activity |
|---|---|---|
| -9425 | -4910 | A Vilani sub-light deep exploration vessel, the Kuikza, leaves Vland in search of the ancient "Machine-Gods". The journey has been entirely funded by members of the nobility and religious orders that venerate the ancient "Machine Gods" that once lived upon Vland. The crew also consisted of hundreds of others with those same beliefs from various castes and professions. As one of the largest exploration vessels ever built by the Vilani it was generational in concept as its mission was expected to take decades. As such, families accompanied the crew. |
| -9415 | -4900 | The Kuikza has entered the region of space now known as Empty Void and encounters what the crew believe to be one of the ancient "Machine-Gods". This massive structure appears to be drifting through space alone in the dark. Communications with it prove ineffectual until it opens a vast gaping door that draws the Kuikza into its cavernous interior. The Kuikza enters and finds themselves adrift with no "Machine-God" in the vicinity. Even worse the Kuikza crew is unable to establish a bearing on any stellar object and had actually transitted almost instantaneously nearly 3000 parsecs Spinward from their starting location. |
| -9415 | -4900 | The Kuikza and its crew agree after extensive consultation with both their noble leaders and their religious scholars that the "Machine-Gods" are testing them and so they set out to map this new region of space and continue trying to make contact with them. |
| -9397 | -4882 | The Kuikza has mapped several systems in the region and its crew now has a second generation of both crew and family members on board. The ship however is dangerously overcrowded and despite best efforts is running low on food and other necessities. The captain, nobles and religious leadership agree it's time for their mission to come to an end, and they locate a place to call home. This home was selected based upon its ability to support life and also able to provide resources, etc., for the colony to survive and also return to the stars at a later date. |
| -9396 | -4881 | After c.14 months of exploration The Kuikza goes into orbit above what is now called Alaamga after The Kuikza's first captain. It is from this planetary system that the Vilani Protectorate is established. |
