Government & Politics (Leadership)
The Moralitate is ruled by a council of seers and holy ones imbued with prophetic powers and vast knowledge from their genetic memory. Normal citizens are subject to their findings, teachings and edicts. Their word is absolute law. They anoint loyal followers to go forth and carry out their will. Their military is derived from a branch of holy warriors. These clergy are called by faith to champion the cause and destroy those who would disrupt the holy will.
Interstellar Relations
They tend to be extreme isolationists and xenophobes. Rumors persist of an unholy caste of excommunicated, disavowed ones, left bereft of the illumination of faith. The unholy maybe involved in covert smuggling and importing trade items. How this would be possible under the watchful gaze of the cleric overseers is a mystery.
Internal Politics
Each world has a strong core of faithful who move from satrap to satrap, ensuring the purity and loyalty of the citizens. They collect the tithe, to ensure the offertory can afford to manufacture ships and field armies of faithful, holy warriors.
Government Structure
Government types vary from world to world.
1. Executive Branch
Elder clerics and holy ones are called into positions of power. Their personal charisma, and how they hold others in sway often influences others to witness to the miracle of their illuminated status. Miracles occur and random citizens occasionally rise from the masses, as stand outs of superior faith and enlightenment. As more scribes and followers receive their teachings they can eventually attract the attention of the high councils of holy elders, for evaluation and assessment. Those who pass the trials of faith are permitted to join and continue their holy work.
2. Legislative Branch
Enclaves and monasteries of loyal monks and scribes networked into huge AI complexes manage all legal data and contracts, scriptures and teachings of the Tenjada. These are constantly updated and patched every-time vessels travel from one system to the next. Holy nexus nodes compare revision series and data burst/overwrite to the latest commandment formats, holy scripture passages are how IFF transponders within the Tenjada Moralitate function. If your vessel is hailed with the good news and your computer doesn't know the correct piece of scripture with which to reply, you are marked as apostate, awaiting clerical review.
3. Judicial Branch
Those who fall from grace are chastised harshly, those found apostate, are subject to death. They are to report to the holy city, on Tenjada, bearing the burden of their guilt, confess and offer themselves for forgiveness through corporeal reclamation below the altar of the high lords. Some, inexplicably refuse the call to atone and forfeit their glory in the afterlife. These poor dark souls are unholy and doomed. They bear the marks of damnation and are outcasts.
Technology & Trade (Economy)
Planets in the Tenjada Moralitate range from TL–5 to TL–12.
Interstellar Commerce
The following businesses operate out of or in this polity:
- Royal charters are granted to viceroys who control fleets that defend each planet. The planets are officially limited to trade with only other members of the Tenjada Moralitate. The ten holy books of scripture, or jada in the holy tongue have extensive rules for the disposition of possessions, family members, livestock, land, and crafts. All interplanetary trade is closely monitored by anointed members of the faithful. It is uncertain where the unholy vessels operate and how they avoid the vision of the holy seers. A few "civilian" classes of merchant vessels are common within the borders of the Moralitate.
