Government & Politics (Leadership)
The Altarean Confederation is a Confederation characterized by a low degree of governmental centralization that gives a high degree of sovereignty (freedom) to local (planetary) governments and sometimes suffers from a poor ability to create unified policy. The Altarean Confederation government is usually classified as a Confederation.
- An alternate name for the Altarean Confederation is the Arcturan Commonwealth.
Governance Nature
Although the Confederation government appears stable, the politics of the individual worlds are somewhat chaotic.
- Murians have a naturally combative (but respectful and non-violent) nature among themselves. Combine this with their tendency toward individualism and the result is political systems which are highly participatory with frequent government changes.
- Non-popular dictatorships and self-perpetuating oligarchies are almost non-existent. Democracies are the most stable governments. At times, however, the most popular form is government by riot.
Military & Intelligence (Force Projection)
Murian Space Marines are often used for health and safety inspections. They are large, strong and intimidating, and yet gentle and patient. They are adept at sniffing out hidden cargo and smugglers are loath to see them in boarding actions. They deploy from Murian Pride Class Missile Cruisers.
