-====== Asteria ====== 
- 
-Asteria (alternatively ASTERIA, the Autonomous Special Trade and Economic Region of Independent Asurans, a [[wp>backronym]]) is a special self-governing regional suzerain of the [[faction:Yamatai Star Empire]]. It is a frontier area where the central Imperial government of Yamatai has almost no presence other than a handful of [[stararmy:Star Army of Yamatai]] assets. Asteria was founded in [[calendar:YE 39]] following the departure of the [[faction:Lorath Matriarchy]] from the region. 
- 
-It is a self-governing [[wp>Suzerainty|Suzerainty]], run as a [[wp>Constitutional_monarchy|Constitutional Monarchy]] ruled by a [[wp>Mikado]], who could be male, or female.  The Asterian Mikado ultimately defers in matters of international affairs to the Empress of Yamatai, but remains sovereign in all other aspects, including the raising and equipping of troops.  
- 
-===== Geography ===== 
- 
-Asteria is located in the [[guide:map|Kikyo Sector]] in sector grids 2309 (starting at the sphere 80 LY from Yamatai) to 2909 (ending at the sphere at 120 LY from Yamatai) and some additional space to the South following the [[stararmy:fleets:Fifth Expeditionary Fleet]] Defensive Line of [[calendar:YE 30]], which was the border of the former [[faction:United Outer Colonies]]. It includes the following star systems: 
- 
-  * [[system:Asura]] (capital) 
-  * [[system:Kotoku]] 
-  * [[system:Miyamae]] 
-  * [[system:Tange]] 
- 
-Also included is a large portion of the Ayumi Nebula and Misato's Passage. 
- 
-{{:guide:map:asteria_borders.png?600|}} 
- 
-===== Culture ===== 
- 
-The culture of Asteria is less homogeneous than some nations due to its complex history tying in with several wars, a few alien neighbors and various international politics. 
- 
-==== Jiyuuians ==== 
- 
-As much of Asteria was originally a part of the [[:faction:yamatai_star_empire]] prior to the formation of the [[:faction:united_outer_colonies]], the vast majority of citizens are comprised of former Yamataians who had re-branded themselves as [[:faction:united_outer_colonies:culture:jiyuuian|Jiyuuians]] following a series of scandals and foundation shaking events. These Jiyuuians still harbor the core values that many in Yamatai hold dear, such as valuing life, preferring peace first, and hating slavery. Additionally, they are less xenophobic and more accepting of outsiders than their Yamataian counterparts. Perhaps most importantly however, is their abhorrence of the various scandals that had shaken Yamatai itself, causing their departure to begin with.  
- 
-Many Jiyuuians believe that they should never let such events happen again, and dream that they can do better than their first homeland did. This dream persists even after the fall of Jiyuu itself, and is a testament to their resolve. This positive outlook had not escaped the turmoil unscathed however. Conspiracies about the UOC's fall, ranging from Yamatai allowing the Mishhuvurthyar to destroy their nation, to SAINT itself assassinating their leadership continue to cast a shadow over the Jiyuuians. However, like all conspiracies, they are as many as they are impossible to prove or outright untrue. In the end however, this very mystery surrounding the fall has lead to Jiyuuians finding it hard to place blame on members of their government such as [[:character:tange-katsura_ayana]] or their system of governance, lending them a flawed, rosy tinted lens when looking back at the late United Outer Colonies.  
- 
-As a result of these circumstances, they stress independence and freedom, but also posses non-conformity and anti-authoritarian tendencies. This, combined with even anti-Yamataian sentiment, made them difficult for Yamatai to govern, necessitating a non-Yamataian governance. 
- 
-==== Lorathi ==== 
- 
-The second largest cultural group within Asteria itself would be the [[:species:lorath]]. Even then however, they make up a small faction of its total. As the UOC and [[:faction:lorath_matriarchy]] were close both physically and politically, people from both nations ventured back and forward between the two during brighter times. Even as the Matriarchy withdrew entirely from this dimension, many opted to stay in their new homes within what would eventually become Asteria. At the same time, many others were drawn in by [[:character:fate]] following her rebellion against the Tur'lista leadership's schemes in [[:calendar:ye_39]]. 
- 
-As a result of this rebellion, the perceived betrayal by their rulers, and the fact that their Xiaah, [[:character:xiaah_harr_ikke_destiny_tur_lista|Destiny]], had been killed years ago, the Lorath here within Asteria have less authoritarian leanings despite keeping many of their traditions such as their religious adherence and selective breeding. Though the Lorath in Asteria still retain parts of their old [[:faction:lorath:politics#lorath_castes|caste system]], they no longer look to the Tur'lista for leadership out of mistrust, leaving them marginalized. Though the Lmanel and Fyuunen still remain the spiritual and military castes, both New Tur'lista and surviving members of the [[:faction:lorath:groups:occhestian]] castes are dominant in the field of technology. 
- 
-Despite being shaken by these events, the Lorath continue to try and work together in unison as they did before, making them a small but powerful faction within Asteria.

-==== Elves ====

-Gallant, do Gallant things

-===== Politics ===== 
-After the fall of the United Outer Colonies, its territories were reclaimed by Yamatai. Having been the only UOC system untouched by the Mishhuvurhtyar invasion in the [[stararmy:history:Second Mishhuvurthyar War]], the Asurans were unwilling to outright join the Yamatai Star Empire. Rather than use force to conquer the region, Yamatai decided in [[calendar:YE 39]] to give the region a special status that essentially let the region run itself. 
- 
-The capital planet, Asura III, being one of the most hotly contested - and heavily populated - positions in the new-formed frontier, required special consideration.  Although previously kept free by the Tenth Standard Fleet, the planet had come under Yamatai's more direct claim and governance shortly thereafter, causing a certain amount of discord within the several countries and factions upon the planet. 
- 
-Contained within the planet, and the system, were three major factions that would have to be unified in order to produce a true sovereign entity; the first were the Jiyuuians who had chosen to remain independant, despite the various and myriad threats that they had weathered in the United Outer Colonies, the offers of citizenship from nations like Nepleslia and Yamatai, and who had decided to dig their heels into Asura.  The second faction had gone over, near wholly, to the idea of forming up with the Lorath Matriarchy; though it was scarce credited, several groups of Jiyuuians had essentially been operating as Lorath territories, deferring to one of the Lorath Admiralty, hitherto unnamed((This was "Fate" Fyuunen, in the end.)).   
- 
-And then there was the third group; the group of surrogate clans loyal to the Mitsuya, the last remnants of the true lineage of the United Outer Colonies, who had decided to turn their attention, not to Yamatai - for they could have left to become Yamataian citizens at any time - but who had chosen to have faith in Mitsuya Ember. 
- 
-Politically speaking, these three clannish factions split even current politics into three distinct camps - the Mitsuya, the former Lorathi citizenry, and the Independants.  The actual governance of Asteria, and Asura III, is accomplished by an alliance between the first two camps behind the current Mikado and her ally, the former Lorathi admiral, Fate Fyuunen.  The third group, the true independants, represents a current minority within the Asterian government.  
-  
-==== Local Government ==== 
-One Moment, Work IN Progress

-Asteria maintains an independent defense force. The Star Army of Yamatai is only called to help with existential threats that the defense force would not be able to handle on its own.
