Far Frontiers Polities

The only pro-Zhodani state in Taemerlyk in Far Frontiers Sector, the Four Worlds has jurisdiction over (unsurprisingly) four worlds, with its capital at Uldor (Far Frontiers 1928).

In 788, a Zhodani-inspired insurrection took place in the Union of Garth, a region originally settled by Protectorate colonists. This rebellion resulted in the formation of the Four Worlds, a state which has maintained pro-Zhodani sympathies since gaining its independence from Garth.

Uldor's Reach[edit]

Uldor's Reach is a small Main of twenty-one systems located in the central-rimward part of Far Frontiers Sector. It connects the Four Worlds, the Union of Garth, the Descarothe Hegemony, and the League Of Suns, as well as a number of non-aligned worlds. It underpins the economy of the Four Worlds and is named for Uldor, the capital of the state.

  • An eclectic mix of high cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move along the Main, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between its member worlds.

  • Worlds lying on the main are highlighted in tan.

Government & Politics[edit]

The Four Worlds is governed by an efficient impersonal bureaucracy, divided into different Ministries of State and headed by a Chief Minister. Citizens and businesses elect professional Lobbyists, who form powerful coalitions and petition senior Ministers on behalf of those they represent. Most of the population is satisfied with this arrangement and have no qualms about their state's close association with the Zhodani.

  • The Offices, the state's sprawling governmental center, is located on Uldor.
  • The Ministry of Trade, which oversees commerce along Uldor's Reach, wields particular influence and power.

  • Guarantee of interstellar trade and commerce.
  • Mutual protection and defense.

Military & Intelligence[edit]

The Four Worlds Armed Forces (the FWAF) are divided into the Navy, the Marines, and the Army.

The small but powerful navy guarantees interstellar trade. It fields various vessels, including:

The Marines are an elite multi-role force capable of operating in a variety of environments, and equipped to operate from starships.

The Army is a catch-all term that includes land forces, maritime forces, air force and close orbit units, and planetary defense forces.

In 788, a Zhodani-supported insurrection of four Union worlds – Uldor, Dloshl, Hearth, and Zishilicti – threw the Union into civil war.

In any case, the so-called Four Worlds allied themselves in a secret pact with the Zhodani, who sent warships and weapons for future treaty considerations. In a well-coordinated assault, all Union installations on the four planets were captured and the Four Worlds broke free from the Union.
