Shekeshta Hegemony

The Shekeshta Hegemony is a warlike faction from the Iralek Sector of the Triangulum Galaxy. It is composed of several races.

Government
The Shekeshta Hegemony is ruled by the Shekeshta race. They enforce their rule over a number of less advanced species through force, and the threat of decimation or complete destruction. Members of the less advanced species are conscripted into the Hegemony's armies and labour forces, while the Shekeshta gain from their work.

For themselves, the Shekeshta are a hierarchical monarchy. They have a monarch known as the Blood-King, who is in command of the military and is the final authority on matters of law and policy. Actual proposals of law and policy come from a senate, though they must all be approved by the Blood-King.

Size
The Hegemony is a reasonably large faction, controlling one hundred and twenty worlds. The total population is somewhere over seventy billion, making them one of the largest factions of the Iralek Sector.

Of these, eighteen billion are Shekeshta, twenty-eight billion are Laetrus, nineteen billion are Vakkel, and five billion are Sinisrus.
