Enlightened

the Enlightened are a state in the rimward half of Halcyon Sector: the oldest state in the Distant Fringe.

• It is properly called the Greater Associations of Worlds.

Description / Specifications

The name Enlightened derives from the fact that both the Protectorate and the Association became far more outward-looking following their union and far more peaceful after their victory in the Associations War. The state maintains a powerful navy, largely funded by private interests, and efficient, well equipped ground forces. The Enlightened, however, remains as an isolated and out-of-step state, with a bureaucratic government interested in preserving the status quo and a worryingly independent military. The Enlightened are rumored to maintain strong state links to criminal organisations.

History & Background / Dossier

It evolved from a merger around 5000AD between the Valen Trade Protectorate and a powerful pirate group called the Association of the Star. It seized many assets of Bright Expansion, a development organisation which it claimed had manipulated trade deals and used sharp practice to swindle Trade Protectorate interests. A brief but intense war against Bright Expansion company forces resulted in an overwhelming victory for the Enlightened, effectively removing Bright Expansion from the region.
