Description (Specifications)[edit]
A confederation located at the junction of the Zydar and Spinward Drift subsectors. The Zydarian Codominium Star Legion is charged with protecting this territory.
Too small to directly challenge the Corellan League, the Codominium is nevertheless known to be a haven for criminals, malcontents, rebels, and pirates.
Leadership and Government[edit]
The state is governed by the Apostles, who command the central government ministries and form a council which implements the teachings and decrees of Duality Prophet Zydar himself.
Tax collection and the provision of government services are remarkably efficient, especially given the contradictory tenets of Zydar. In contrast, chaotic foreign policy and the apparently undisciplined actions of the Star Legion give an appearance of disarray to outside observers.
Symbols[edit]
The state symbol of the Codominium is a circular emblem split into two balanced halves, reminiscent of a yin-yang symbol, but here symbolising the supposed nature of the Duality Prophet Zydar, who claims to have a Human and an Ancient soul.

History[edit]
The Third World War on Tirost (the world that is now Zydar) was ended by the Duality Prophet Zydar, who led his followers to demand peace by popular non-violent protests across all seven warring states.
Zydar subsequently declared the Zydarian Codominium in 930, based on his claimed possession of both a Human and Ancient soul, and his followers quickly seized control of the world’s faltering governments. He renamed the world after himself, and withdrew from the Corellan League, which he asserted had done nothing to prevent the suffering of his planet's wars.
The Codominium is a theocracy, with Zydar’s Disciples ruling a bureaucratic state that organizes tithes and controls most aspects of daily lives. Economic activity is based on free enterprise principles, but the Codominium is a 10% shareholder or “tithe holder” of all enterprises, and guaranteed a seat on every corporate board.
Military & Intelligence (Force Projection)[edit]
The Zydarian Codominium Star Legion is the external security service for this government.
The Codominium's internal security is the purview of local Bishops and Archbishops, who ensure public order with paramilitary Guardians.
