Kolan Hegemony
The Kolan Hegemony today consists of Kurat (Reaver's Deep 2315), Rock (Reaver's Deep 2214), and the capital of Kolath (Reaver's Deep 2313).
- The Hegemony is often considered a part of the Imperium, but is administratively independent from the authority of the neighboring Nightrim subsector, which governs other Imperial territory in this area.
Description
The exact legal status of these worlds is subject to dispute. Most independent library data lists the three worlds as non-aligned and placed inside the Buffer established by the Peace of Ftahalr. Some sources, however, list them openly as Imperial client states.
The primary language is Galanglic.
Goals
The Kolan Hegemony fosters hopes of independence. It is their state, so its members claim, that remembers the sector's past glories while awash in a sea of scattered star systems, and aims to chart the present and plot the future for Reaver's Deep. More realistically, the major goal is to preserve what remains of their autonomy in the face of Imperial disapproval.
History & Background (Dossier)
The Hegemony's local autonomy is a long-standing arrangement; it dates back to the latter part of the Aslan Border Wars period (the Imperial phase, 200-380), when the Imperium was just beginning to expand into Reavers' Deep in the face of oppositions from various Aslan clans.
Kolath at that time was a late Reaver Kingdom, encompassing its present area plus Gash (Reaver's Deep 2116), Gerim (Reaver's Deep 2416), and Mer (Reaver's Deep 2414). Already organized, the region served as an excellent springboard for an Imperial presence in the area, so treaties were signed binding Kolath to the Imperium, but with a grant of local autonomy. As time went on, Gash pulled out of the Hegemony (and the Imperium), and the Imperium found it expedient to detach Gerim and Mer. Current trends hint that Rock will be the next to go.
Still, Kolath remains set in its insistence on internal autonomy, ruling its possessions in accordance with tradition.
Government & Politics (Leadership)
Interstellar Relations
The Third Imperium does not formally recognise this political entity.
Military & Intelligence (Force Projection)
It has been some time since the Imperium permitted Kolath a sizable interstellar fleet, but recruitment for Imperial armed forces (especially the Navy and Marines) is high on Kolath, and their personnel have a justifiably famous reputation as superb fighters.
