Fiction:Farengeto Republic

The Farengeto Republic is a recently formed empire. The Republic consists of several small empires, who were often hostile of each other. In 2790 the Farengeto Free Trade Agreement was signed on the planet of the same name. Following the introduction of the agreement relations quickly improved, allowing a unification in 2792. Farengeto, now a major trade hub, was then established as the capital. While the original Republic was small, the unification ushered in a golden age of rapid growth, increasing the empire to its current size of approximately 500 systems.

Early History
In 2659 the Modians became the first of the species of the modern Farengeto region to discover interstellar travel. Over the next hundred years many other species would take to the stars, and through the influence of the Modians and their trade network the region quickly developed.

For a time it was an era of peace, but it would not last. As more militaristic powers rose, tensions rose between the nations and by the mid 2700s the region was in an era of conflict. Expansion and exploration reached a near standstill as the empires shifted their focus to war. Around this time a planet named Farengeto was colonized by several species. It declared itself a neutral system, and over time would become a notable trade hub. While it would not be a state of constant war, tension remained high for decades.

Rise of the Republic
The region began a period of change in 2788, following Unaria Harenia's election as President of the Unitarian Republic. Beginning a campaign of peace, he spent much of the next two years reducing tensions across the region. In 2790 the Farengeto Free Trade Agreement was proposed and signed on the planet of the same name. While initially only including several empires, by the end of the year almost every empire of the region was a member.

As trade grew the stagnation ended, creating levels of advancement unseen in years. In 2792 the new era of prosperity would bring forth the proposal of a full unification. After careful negotiations the members of the FFTA accepted the terms and formed the Farengeto Republic. The Republic was based on the planet of the same name, which had rapidly grown into a major trade hub.

Recent History
Following the unification a team was assembled to lead an exploration and build new alliances and trade routes. The team, lead by Taronsa Tolyardi began operations in early 2793.

While successfully establishing alliances with several empires, in an event known as Taronsa's Mistake, alliances were established with both the Drakodominatus Tyranny and their enemy the Aeoneonatrix Empire. The Farengeto Republic was left with the choice to choose sides or face both allies in war. Taronsa was demoted and his team was disassembled, replaced by a new body lead by Harenda Lagenta. An emergency senate meeting was called soon after to discuss the future of the Republic...

Government
The Farengeto Republic is a republic system. It uses a 5-level system. While some variation exists, all governments are either using or shifting to a representation-by-population system and will be required to do so by the next term. A reform is planned during a 2793 bi-election. The lowest major level is the government of a solar system. The exact political system can vary greatly depending on the solar system. The next level is that of region in the Farengeto Republic. At this point in time the regions are often the former territory of members and generally use their former empire's government, and are seated in their former capital. The highest level of the democracy, the senate serves as the main body for Farengeto affairs. For voting it complies results collected by the Regional governments, weighting the results based on the size of the population. The Senate is located on Farengeto. The High Council currently consists of representatives of the 4 races who form the majority of the Farengeto Republic, but members of minor races can be appointed as long as certain conditions are met. Besides leading the senate, the grand council also has the power to make emergency decisions if all members are in consensus. This power is carefully regulated to prevent abuse. The Chancellor is the Leader of both the senate and High Council. The official head of state, the Chancellor is usually the Republic's representative for foreign affairs. The first and current Chancellor is Unaria Harenia.

The Gareri are powerful warriors who use speed and agility to specialize in guerrilla warfare tactics. While of an average height, they are able to stand on their forward legs, causing them to tower over many species. As a result, they are popular choices for security and agent roles.

Planets
The Farengeto Republic has several hundred systems in the Delcath Subsector. Planets of note include: Farengeto= Farengeto is the capital of Republic. The land consists of one continent and many surrounding islands. It was once the homeworld of a now extinct spacefaring civilization.

Prior to 2790 it became a major trade hub, being recognized as an independent system. Due to its economic value and its location near the center of the region it was chosen as the location for the signing of the FFTA, and was unaimously voted for the location of the Republic's capital, which then used the planet's name. The planet has experienced rapid urbanization, with Farengeto City now covering a large portion of the mainland.

Homeworlds= Each of the major species homeworlds hold a major political value, usually serving as a regional capital.

 * Heiank, Vulcer System - Garenti Homeworld

Lanaria= Lanaria is home to the Republic's most elite training program. Freezing cold and containing only a thin atmosphere, the planet can barely support life, and that which as survived is adapted to kill. Ancient ruins of a civilization and frozen oceans suggests the planet was once fully suitable for life, however none have determined what happened. Challengers are dropped near an outpost on the planet. They must then work in small groups (no more than 4) to travel across the surface to complete challenges testing a variety of skills. The farthest challenge is in one of the city ruins, approximately a day's journey from the outpost. To ensure the safe return of participants, various measures are put in place including tracking beacons and rescue vehicles. To ensure the legitimacy of the challenge, the exact location of the planet has been kept top secret.

While strong alone, they are often deployed in large groups, creating a force capable of repelling potential invaders. Due to their satellite nature, they
