Mykarian Empire

The Mykarian Empire is an imperial feudal social construct, governed by an Emperor and containing several species, primarily Mykarians and Vorians.

Government
The Mykarian Empire follows one ruler: Emperor Raen, also known as the Messiah of Mattias and The Blind Savior. He has absolute authority over the population as well as his vassals, resorting to a feudal system to manage their empire.

The divine right of kings is very present in the Empire, and when intertwined with the tenants of Antarism, the Emperor and the Imperial Family have been able to survive for thousands of years. Imperial succession works unlike most other dynastic empires - one of the heirs must kill the current emperor.

There is only one political party: The Cult of the Emperor.

Feudal Lords
Currently, the highest level of feudal lords in the Empire are dukes, although kingdoms are planned. Dukes rule over a few star systems, with counts ruling over one or two. Barons rule over planets, while lesser nobles rule over keeps and continents.

Arguably the most powerful duchy is the Vorian duchy, the Duchy of Resir. This is ruled over by Prince Curu ana'Voricia, after his declaration of absolute faith in Mattias and ultimate fealty to Emperor Raen. This contains six star systems, and has a standing retinue of twenty battleships as well as over two thousand cruisers and destroyers, and over a hundred thousand frigates. Under these are four counts, as Curu directly holds two systems under him, as well as four world baronies.

The second most powerful duchy is the Mykarian Duchy of Jao, ruled over by Duke Taulu mithra Tion. This has six star systems as well, although it has a slightly smaller retinue of fifteen battleships and around the same amount of cruisers and frigates. Duke Taulu owns three systems directly, resulting in three vassal counts. He also owns three baronies, one from each system.

Another duchy is the Mykarian Duchy of Yuon, ruled over by the aging Duke Ren mithra Uruon. This has four star systems, with a much smaller retinue. The Duke owns one system, but also has all of the baronies inside of that system.

The last and least powerful duchy is the Mykarian Duchy of Ris, ruled over by Duke Soucin mithra Trouo. This has three star systems, while the duke holds one system and two baronies.

Military Strength
The Mykarian Holy Navy and Army are both very powerful, with thick armor and powerful repulsors, as well as strong weapons.

The Holy Army has around 10 billion soldiers, both Mykarian and Vorian.

The Holy Navy has around 120 battleships, and his led by a large dreadnought called Ara Muzdi.
