Talk:Trooles Confederation

Thoughts on Updates

Just some general thoughts on ways to 'update' the Trooles Confederation that are sensitive to what little Group One provided along with the reference to the fact that one system within it's borders (Pautho) is an Imperial Client State.

Notes on Bases

These notes are ideas for a much more thorough overhaul than is possible, Naval bases would be most likely at Isbelra, Nedric & Forgald where the tech level/port level are appropriate, exploration bases would most likely be at Isbelra, Nedric, Forgald, Perx and Galores (In additon to the base at Pautho).

Notes on Government

Isbelra is not only the capital of the Confederation, it's the HQ of Continental Lines Ltd. which is described in the Theta Borealis sector book as "...a small band of pirates which turned itself into a legitimate business." This took place in 806 which if 'now' is 1105 means it predates the Confederation (Assumed to be founded in or shortly after 1045.) by roughly 239 years. It's quite likely that the company has some role in the foundation of the Confederation and may have a role in the Confederation level government.

The form of that government is described as a "...democratic one although some of the planets do not have democratic governments." So that would suggest some form of council formed by delegates (at least 3) from the 20 or so systems that make up the Confederation (Huflink is RedZoned and thus not a sitting member of the council. I have assumed that Pautho is a member.)

If Pautho is a member of the confederation then it's possible there is an 'Imperial' Ambassador to the council.

Notes on Ships

The Confederate Navy is likely to originate from yards at Isbelra, Nedric & Forgald (Pautho is a special case.). Galores has a Class 'B' starport but the local TL (8) is too low, Perx is TL 'B' but with only a Class 'C' starport does not have the facilities for starship construction and has a comparatively low population. However Galores can be assumed to be a construction location if components are shipped in from outside, suggesting that there may be convoys from Isbelra/Pautho to Galores if this option is used.

Thoughts on Pautho

Pautho is in an anomalous position, Group One indicated it was a member of the Trooles Confederation, an unpublished supplement entitled 'Grand Survey' which was planned for a release via DGP it was changed to an Imperial Client State. Traveller Map currently shows it as an Imperial Client State within the borders of the confederation. If it is assumed that Galores is a colony of Pautho then it could be assumed that Pautho's membership is an 'adjunct' membership based on Galores and the delegates sent to the confederate central govement originate on Galores, although non-voting 'observer' delegates from Pautho can be assumed to exist.

Thoughts on Tongal

Tongal is one of two Red Zone systems within the borders of the confederation, it's comparitively high tech (TL7), combined with it's lack of atmosphere/hydrosphere and a 'captive' government suggests the system is in fact a penal colony. In this case Isbelra can be assumed to be the controlling government, though prisoners may originate from all worlds in the confedederation. Graham2001 (talk) 07:01, 28 September 2021 (EDT)
