Pelx-Cradonian Mandate

"Any alien influence must be ruthlessly quashed. Only by staying pure and true to ourselves and the planet that gave us life can we guard against insidious Xeno plots. Even mastery over the Alien might not be enough to guarantee our own safety..."

- Commissary-General Akuth'Avo Tu-Kari

The Pelx-Cradonian Mandate was the foremost political, military, and economic power of the Triangulum Galaxy. Administered from Pelx-Cradonia, the state was nominally democratic, although the dividing line between the civil administration and the military had blurred to the point where they had largely become one and the same. A totalitarian, militant and xenophobic empire, its citizens, although granted the right to vote, had little participation in the decision-making process of the government itself. Furthermore, the power actively worked to disenfranchise and enslave xenos populations, laying the foundations of resentment in the galaxy that would ultimately be its undoing.

Characterised by an imperialistic outlook toward the rest of the galaxy, an omnipresent military, and a highly pervasive intelligence agency, the Pelx-Cradonian Mandate superficially resembles the Teyan Dominion, to which its remnants are a subject of. However, unlike it's modern contemporary and replacement, the Mandate was more interested in the subjugation of the galaxy rather than its unity, ultimately leading to the Pelx-Cradonian Rebellion in 5222 BC, which led directly to the decline and collapse of the Mandate, formally dissolving in 5212 BC ten years later as it pledged itself as a protectorate of the Teyan Dominion.
