Zhodani Consulate

The Zhodani give the name Driantia Zhdantia to their interstellar community. The name is commonly translated in Anglic as Zhodani Consulate.

The consulate consists of about 6,500 systems spread through more than 175 subsectors. It is located spinward and coreward of the Imperium.

The Zhodani do not have an Xboat system. Nval bases are directly linked by relay stations using fast couriers that also carry government mail. Naval bases and depots exist on important or threatened worlds. The equivalent of scout bases are simply naval bases that are oriented toward supporting survey or exploration operations.

Most Zhodani worlds are TL7-11 averaging TL9-10. Forbidden Worlds (similar to Imperial Red Zones have access prohibited by the Consulate: Military training grounds, planetary bombarment test ranges, Ancient sites, sources or rare or valuable resources, and secret Consular research stations. Unabsorbed worlds (equivalent to Amber Zones are claimed and governed by the Consulate but not absorbed into the mainstream Zhodani culture. Reservation worlds belong to friendly non-Human races that have signed binding treaties with the Consulate. Essentially they are permanently unabsorbed worlds.

Provinces

The consulate is divided into eight preqlainz. Provinces are an intermediate level between the secotr council and the supreme council on Zhdant.
