Description (Specifications)

A mercantile federation, wherein space beyond planetary orbit ("beyond the orbit of the furthest natural satellite plus 50 of its diameters, or 50 planetary diameters, whichever is less, or 25 planetary diameters if there are no natural satellites") and jumpspace between member worlds is territory of the federation, owned and managed officially for the benefit of the federation.

The federation consists of two jump-1 mains, separated by a 1-parsec wide gap in which a jump bridge, Mainserai, was constructed and served as the capital from the polity's founding until the Empress Wave struck it in 1052. This station "fused" the mains together, allowing cheap jump-1 freighters to ply the polity's space.

As a mercantile concern, the federation's government has consistently shown interest and focus on three main areas:

  • Trade and the taxes generated from it (collected at starports),
  • Belt mining (almost every system in the Federation has gas giants, and thus trojan clusters, if not planetoid belts) and the Federation's cut of the profits from that, and
  • Things needed to support the above.

History & Background (Dossier)

The Federation of the Fused Mains started as the largest blow to the unity of the Pirian Domain. Officially founded in 413, separating from the Domain out of protest over increased piracy - an ultimately manufactured crisis.

The polity has held its shape remarkably consistently for most of its existence. Not all of the worlds it first claimed were colonized in 413. Some of its worlds have tried to claim independence; some have even succeeded for a while, but all eventually fell back after economic warfare. Likewise, worlds not in the mains have tried to join, but the Federation has rejected such expansion each time, though it has allowed some such worlds "associate" status - which mostly amounted to the right to pay taxes without much benefit in return.
