 +  * [[timeline:ye_34]]: The Second Mishhuvurthyar War ends. [[stararmy:fleets:tenth_fleet]] is administratively disbanded and reformed in the [[places:yugumo_cluster]] and occupies Asura but does not go to the planet's surface.

 ===== Government ===== ===== Government =====
-The framework for the Asura Prime government was only loosely dictated by the [[faction:united_outer_colonies]] , now defunct, as a democracy with the highest of ideals - the liberty of the common person, and the freedom of the soldiers of the [[stararmy:fleets:fifth_expeditionary_fleet]] who defected from the [[faction:Yamatai Star Empire]] in [[calendar:ye 30]]. A people's house of commons, with seventeen representatives from the four major planetary districts, was set up around a Prime Minister presiding over the House. They have a standing constitution which grants considerable power to the district and local governments to maintain contracts, property rights, and provide for an interdistrict justice and penal system.+The framework for the Asura Prime government was only loosely dictated by the [[faction:united_outer_colonies]] , now defunct, as a democracy with the highest of ideals - the liberty of the common person, and the freedom of the soldiers of the [[stararmy:fleets:fifth_expeditionary_fleet]] who defected from the [[faction:Yamatai Star Empire]] in [[timeline:ye_30]].

 In current practice it is a corporatocracy that does little to maintain any of these rights except for the ones that can pay for them. In current practice it is a corporatocracy that does little to maintain any of these rights except for the ones that can pay for them.
  
-When the United Outer Colonies fell to the [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:nmx]], the government remained - but finding itself without support from the colonial fleet, which had either surrendered to Yamatai or joined the [[faction:lorath_matriarchy|Lorath Matriarchy]], it turned to the corporations entrenched on its surface for funding and borrowed large amounts of money to provide for a standing militia and to maintain the economy and welfare of its populace. When the Lorath began to patrol the astral territory of the Asura system, the colonial government found a temporary reprieve for two full years, until [[calendar:YE 34]], when [[stararmy:Task Force Lantern]] officially took over patrol of its astral territories. Expressing no real interest in changing the way things operated on the surface, the then-[[stararmy:ranks:Taisho]] [[character:bhelith_blackspear|Morioka Naoko]] simply allowed the planet to govern itself.+When the United Outer Colonies fell to the [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:nmx]], the government remained - but finding itself without support from the colonial fleet, which had either surrendered to Yamatai or joined the [[faction:lorath|Lorath Matriarchy]], it turned to the corporations entrenched on its surface for funding and borrowed large amounts of money to provide for a standing militia and to maintain the economy and welfare of its populace.

 The debts came due - the government, effectively bought out, was generally agreed by the populace to be a simple puppet of the most powerful corporations on the planet's surface. The debts came due - the government, effectively bought out, was generally agreed by the populace to be a simple puppet of the most powerful corporations on the planet's surface.
  
-This state of affairs continued until [[calendar:YE 39]], when that Taisho returned to the planet with the mandate of a monarch.  [[character:bhelith_blackspear]], a beknighted representative of Xiuluria, was granted control of Asura III along with several other former Lorath Matriarchy planets as the result of sincere proposal from the senators of Xiuluria.  Following an old traditionshe raised her own banner as an independent state (with the patronage and permission of Yamatai) and made Asura III her capital.+Asura III is still very much planet of many interestswith its people as varied as the causes they champion.
  
-This gained a mixed reception, with the current democratic government viewing the obnoxiously wealthy [[faction:asteria:morioka_clan|Morioka Clan]] as its appointed, and much-wished-for savior.  One of the Mikado'first acts was to pay many of their debts, and to immediately integrate them into her new government with titles, maintaining their official holdings and giving them a great deal more power over their provinces than they had previously enjoyed. By contrast, the wealthy private interests of Asteria, the former debtors who had been loaning the Asuran government money, immediately began to sew discontent within the populace with some notable success.  +As part of the [[corp:yugumo_corporation:start]]'sustainability initiatives, the [[corp:yugumo_corporation:juugoya_cooperative]] has recently begun construction of farming villages & aquaculture centers on land/water purchased from the various corporate entities and/or the loose central government.

-The Capital of Asteria wasn't so much built in a day as it was raised around a grounded, damaged Lorathi carrier, the first of the [[faction:lorath:starship:eagle-class|Eagle class of Battle Carriers]] that had been given as a gift to the [[character:bhelith_blackspear|Mikado]] along with [[character:fate]].  At the time, the ship had been badly damaged in the fighting.  As a result, the ship was landed at a small strip in a neutral territory of Asteria for repairs. +
- +
-As those repairs became more expensive and time consuming, a tent city, and then several more long term structures were erected.  By the time the ship had been fully repaired, Soran Nast - Eagle's Nest, in [[species:elf|Elvish]] - had become a permanent fixture with roads connecting the ship to its surrounding provinces and contributing cities.  Though the Carrier had originally been taken as a mobile capital, it now serves as the central fixture of the burgeoning city, the bay doors usually open, the ship's interior partially converted to government offices. +

-Soran Nast acts as its own independent province, and is governed, policed, and controlled by the [[faction:asteria:morioka_clan]].+

Its a particularly popular destination for wedding couples as it features a striking circle of giant, perfectly smooth stones situated in the middle of a beautiful natural preserve & garden called the P'enn Pavilion. The pavilion is notable for being one of the only places outside former Matriarchy space to hold traditional Lorath wedding ceremonies, and is so named for the [[faction:lorath:economics|ancient tradition]] of gem & semi-precious stone offerings to adequately display the depths of one's affection for another.+It is blessed with miles of beautiful, sandy-white beaches and azure waters, along which is built one of the most famous landmarks of the area, the Mitsuya Grand Hotel & Resort.
