The Dajorra Confederacy is the name of the reorganized system-spanning government that unites the most prominent local powers within the Dajorra System in a parliamentary-style democracy.
Brief History:
As a reaction to the devastating attacks unleashed on the system (and many other Brotherhood territories), the various political entities present within Dajorra came together in 22 ABY to draft and sign the Doto Accords, the founding document of what was then called the Kaedean Confederation orchestrated by Mejas Doto. Originally, the Confederacy consisted of four major entities: the Commonwealth of Eldar, the Commonwealth of Selen, the Freeholders' Assembly and the Trustees' Committee. Both Commonwealths signed several concessions to the Trustees in exchange for a permanent defense contract.
Historically, the Confederacy was an autocracy in all but name only, presenting itself to the wider galaxy as a parliamentary-style democracy while the Arconan summit with the Shadow Lord at its head ruled the system and all within it. However, events over the recent public conflicts with The Pretender War and several other instances had tested Arcona’s secrecy as a shadow government and added fuel to the old fable of Force-users among the Arconan Armed Forces and Confederacy. After the Battle of Brimstone in 42ABY, there was no denying those claims and fear was rampant among Selenians after the False Gods’ assaults.
A call for change and responsibility, Arcona finally stepped out from the shadows into transparency in 42 ABY after a couple years of progressive action, lead by then Consul Zuza Lottson and Proconsul Diyrian "Diy" Grivna. Working alongside the other local governments and organizations, sweeping changes have been made to Confederacy’s laws to place more power in the hands of its constituent political entities. The Kaedean Confederacy was officially renamed to the Dajorran Confederacy after a couple years of being referred to as such.
Government Organization and Politics
The Dajorran Confederacy is split into several branches of governance. On the planetary scale, the Commonwealths are allowed to govern themselves in matters of local concern such as public safety, public health, criminal justice, and so on. The Freeholders’ Assembly meanwhile is a collective parliament body focused on similar concerns on the system-wide scale and handles diplomatic relations for the Confederacy. The Trustees Committee, in addition to maintaining a system defense force and orchestrating further governmental reform, can veto any action made by either Commonwealth or the Freeholder’s Assembly at any level of government and set statutes in place that affect the Confederacy as a whole with a simple majority vote. Only action dictated by simple majority vote from the executive branch of the affected Commonwealth (one or both depending on the issue) and a super majority vote from the Freeholders Assembly can overcome a Trustees veto or statute.
Commonwealths
Commonwealth of Eldar
Main Article: Eldar
Eldar is populated by two species: the near-human Sardenians and the reptillian Kaedeans. There has been a long history between them of oppression and conflict. During the signing of the Doto Accords, the Commonwealth of Eldar was formed with an Overcouncil — a joint government assembly between the Kaedean Shogunate & Sardenian Sodality to oversee it. Originally, it consisted of the Keadean Shogun, two of their vassals, and two Sardenian Kings. After a devastating plague, the Commonwealth of Eldar was abandoned, only to be rebuilt through the efforts of House Galeres over the last few years and the current reformation.
The current Commonwealth of Eldar’s Overcouncil has expanded to include an equal number of Varna, Sardenian religious leaders, as there were Kaedean vassals. The current Shogun participates in the Overcouncil(taking a Keadean seat), while the Kasha, the Sardenian religious ruler, leaves it to his Varna. Despite both parties respecting and upholding the peace treaty between them, there is still some tension. Thus, Clan Arcona has a representative on the Overcouncil to aid as a facilitator through stalls in decision-making and moderator through conflict.
While Eldar’s technology level is still developing, their main contributions to the Confederacy is use of its natural resources and lending their support, legitimizing the Confederation itself. Both the Sardenians and Kaedeans seek resources to improve their security, health and safety, with the former being more invested with the diplomatic relations within the system while the latter favors defense.
Commonwealth of Selen
Main Article: Selen
Freeholders’ Assembly
Trustees’ Committee
Others
Board of Directors
Maintaining less legislative power than the Commonwealths, the Board of Directors still hold a significant influence with being the lifeline to much of the System’s commerce. The Directors are elected representatives for the various corporations operating in Dajorra, including but not limited to:
Although nothing definitively proven, it is reasoned that the Supervisor of Naruba City has heavy connections with the Board of Directors. Many of these corporations remain as fronts for Clan Arcona’s finances and operations.
Gethsemane Council
Main Article: Gethsemane
A small council composed from an establishment of estates on the otherwise untouched and pristine moon of Ereboros. This group primarily focuses on the preservation of ecological havens such as Gethsemane, and the protection of resources. The balance and strength of their power is still being developed as a new player joining the table, some reasoning it lower or equal to the Board of Directors' sway. Despite that, their members are fairly persuasive and idealistic, displaying a care in matters that exceed their personal focus.
The council is in fact filled and organized by the Arconae, senior Arconan members sitting in an advisory role. They essentially create another avenue of influence upon the Dajorra Confederacy for Clan Arcona.
