Marlan Primate (Polity) History & Background[edit]
Settled in 478-524, the group of worlds identifying with the Marlan Primate shared an initial common heritage. The major portion of the colonists were drawn from a minor religious sect which considered its precepts neglected by the mainstream of Third Imperium society. In cooperation with the Scout Service, a large corporation, financed and controlled by church members, ran detailed surveys of the region. Religious communities segregated themselves in wilderness preserves on several of the Imperial developed worlds and established self-training and education programs. Once trained, each community moved to its new world and set up its permanent settlement. Though suffering some minor setbacks, the overall operation has become the classic textbook example of planned colonization programs. Friendly relations are maintained with the Imperium.
Though economic and political principles are inward centered, there is a modest, but profitable, trade in special pharmaceuticals and artwork in return for appropriate technology. Marlan policies are not aggressive but the need for adequate self-defense forces are recognized. Consequently the Marlan Primate has hired and supports one of the largest and best organized force of mercenaries known to the Imperium. Though small in size compared to integral government armed forces, the Marlan Hired Defense Force is an extremely high quality force which serves as the core of Marlan armed might. Its secondary mission is to train all Marlan youth in basic military skills during the two years of enforced public service each youth serves before being admitted to adulthood. The several times this organization had been called upon, though initial losses were heavy, the final outcome was never in doubt.
The Marlan Primate tends to be neutral in political alignment, though favoring good relations with the Imperium. Armed clashes in the past led the Council of Elders to view the activities of the Mandanin Co-Dominion (now defunct) with suspicion.
Marlan Primate (Polity) Military & Intelligence[edit]
Naval Technology: Several facilities at TL-11. The best shipyard is located at the secondary world, Ixobis-Rit. The lead class of their defensive forces is the Ixobis Class Dreadnought.
