Thesian Republic

![]() Ecclesia Population Class: Dense OVERVIEW Capital world to the Thesian Republic, Ecclesia is a heavily populated and modernized world. Everything from the Admiralty Board to the Ecclesian Stock Exchange are found here. Ecclesia is a borrowed Greek term that means assembly. POLITICS Capital: Ecclesia maintains five Archons for its planet, against a Republic norm of two Archons per planet for sparse and intermediate planets, or three for a dense planet. This is both for historic and symbolic reasons. Historic in that the Thesian Republic was responsible for fronting opposition to the Aurelian Dominion. Symbolic in that Ecclesia represents the home of many rare democratic principles that the Republic wants to uphold across the Human Sphere. PLACES OF INTEREST Urban Design: Cities are built vertically rather than horizontally, challenging classic architecture codes and attempting to redefine cityscape. Cities are often built in layers and attempts to take advantage of technology to increase standards of living. What began as an visionary ambition though has turned into a nightmare for many where individuals complain about feeling they live more on a spaceship than a city, given the way the cities are built. Trench Sector: Furthest from the spires and creating the first ring around the city nexus, the Trench City is built several layers into the earth's crust, often snaking out several miles in different directions. Manufacturing is found among the Trench Sector as it is viewed as an unpopular and unfashionable job choice. ![]() Perspective of the Trench Sector Ridge Sector: Just beyond the Trench Sector and where the largest percentage of population lives, the Ridge Sector is the inflated structure at the bottom of the tower and entirely closed in, save for windows and artificial lights. Crest Sector: Built on top of the Ridge Sector, the Crest Sector is a combination of upper middle class, or lower higher class. Ascension Sector: The connecting shaft between the above cities and lower cities are connected through the Ascension Elevator. Betraying its own title, the Ascension Elevator are actually hundreds of service and common-use elevators. Stairways exist as well in case of dire emergency. Horizon Sector: Shared between headquartered companies, government offices, military garrisons or entitled citizens, the Horizon Sector is less of a habited area, and more of a center of governance, more commonly referred to as the Nexus. Peak Sector: Finally at the top of the spire is the Peak Sector. Home to influential citizens, private docking ports and exclusive entertainment venues, the Peak Sector is an attractive home. ![]() Ecclesia from above, showcasing the circular designed, vertically ambitious cities. Pnyx: Pronounced "Nix", the Pnyx was once a flat-topped hill in the ancient Greek city state of Athens where citizens met to discuss domestic policy and foreign events. Today its purpose is the same, but the location different. Today the Pnyx is the physical campus of where the Agora meets three weeks of each month to discuss military reform, economic actions and foreign strategy. Given the high-risk nature of the modern world, and disparaging relations with the Dominion, the Pnyx maintains an independent, off-the-grid shielding system with enough battery and fusion reserves to power the shielding under heavy strain for several hours. Multiple escape routes exist underground to allow ease of escape, but are otherwise locked by heavy bulkhead doors when not in used and protected by automated security that fire on sight unless deactivated. In effect, Pnyx has been transformed into a fortress of necessity given an inherit and understandable fear that the sudden loss of the Benefactor and the Archons all at once would create upheaval. ![]() The Pnyx, site where the Archons meet to discuss domestic and foreign politics, representing the billions of individuals across the Republic. Verona Site: Built by the Emergency Action Group, the Verona Site was designed to crack Aurelian Dominion communications, code and data systems. Later the site was transferred to the Committee on Dominion Aggression. COMMON USE Ecclesia has a CONDITIONAL Common Use policy.

![]() Boule Population Class: Sparse OVERVIEW Boule is a non-complete terraformed world that lost all its funds except for enough to maintain the status quo during the Venkath Onslaught. Originally considered an ideal candidate for environmental transformation due to its large reserves of trapped water under the sand dunes above, venture capitalists would pump in a large reserve credits into atmospheric stabilizers, domed cities and deep surface mining equipment. In the war against the venkath, venture capitalists found it more profitable to sell the machines that were to be used for purposes of creation, to be re-purposed for matters of war. What wasn't sold was later seized by a wartime Terran Confederacy government, violating the fleeting rights of the colonial upstart. What wasn't sold and what wasn't seized would fall into disrepair and later captured by marauders to hold the planet hostage, threatening to turn off the atmospheric stabilizers if not paid their tributes. The planet borrows its name by a greek term that was an appointed council of 400-500 citizens to govern affairs of a city. POLITICS Deep Mistrust: Still burned by the memories of having important infrastructure and resources liquidated for the war effort, Boule shows great resentment toward the Terran Confederacy and demands reparations from the Republic today. Given the planet's lack of wealth and a long list of bills and project costs, there has been little movement to make amends with Boule. Instead, the Republic has encouraged Boule to stay the course and give up on its ambitions to repair its fragile environment. PLACES OF INTEREST Air Terraforming Plant: Located on the outskirts of Landfall, the Air Terraforming Plant is directly operated by the Boule Valley Authority, a government agency. One of the largest surviving plants to have survived scrapping, the terraforming plant pumps in large amounts of breathable oxygen to Landfall and connected bubbled cities. ![]() Earth Terraforming Plant: Operated by the Citizen's Action Group, a company that argued to save the Boule project, the Earth Terraforming Plant is critical in attempting to create lush biomes under the safety of domes. ![]() Rock Terraforming Plant: Operated by the Hyperion Corporation, the Rock Terraforming Plant is critical in local efforts to "shape" the terrain of the plant through the creation of artificial rivers and lakes. ![]() COMMON USE Boule has a CONDITIONAL Common Use policy. You are free to create characters and organizations that make their home or do business here, but must pass influential events through its owner first. CREDITS Planet artwork is hosted on Walltor.
