| As with the other Clans now in existence, [[Clan Tarentum]] began as one of many Houses that dotted the socio-political landscape of the Brotherhood. The last of the "original" Houses to form, Tarentum was formed by the members of the legendary [[Tau Squadron]]. When Tarentum became a Clan proper, it sired the vassal Houses of [[House Tridens|Tridens]], [[House Gladius|Gladius]] and [[House Cestus|Cestus]].
| |
| | |
| == Brief History ==
| |
| Of all the Clans and Houses, Tarentum is the only one formed under direct order. Not wanting to tie themselves to any of the other Houses, and thereby having to share their glory as the best of the best, the pilots of Tau Squadron formed their own House - Tarentum.
| |
| | |
| Eventually, the Clan would grow to serve the interests of the man who ordered them into existence - [[Justinian Khyron|Grand Master Khyron]]. The Clan now serves the [[Sith King]] unfailingly and unflinchingly.
| |
| | |
| == Government and Politics ==
| |
| | |
| As with all feudal societies, Clan Tarentum and the Yridia System is headed by a Monarch - Justinian Arcanious Khyron. The entire system falls under the command and control of his vassal, The Prince of Yridia, who has at his disposal a cabinate of military, secular and Brotherhood Captains.
| |
| | |
| Yridia also operates a limited parliamentary system. In matters of trade and internal taxation, the Legislature is called upon to handle these affairs.
| |
| | |
| === Offices ===
| |
| | |
| ==== Prince of Yridia ====
| |
| | |
| The head of the System Government, the Prince of Yridia is always the Consul and retains nearly complete control of his fief.
| |
| | |
| ==== Grand Chamberlain ====
| |
| | |
| [[Sith Bloodfyre]] was appointed Grand Chamberlain for life. The Grand Chamberlain is the steward of the Clan and oversees the day to day political affairs which include, but are not limited to calling a quorum of the [[Tarentae]], opening the Common House and managing the docket of supplicants wishing an audience with the Prince.
| |
| | |
| ==== Governor-General ====
| |
| | |
| The chief function of the Governor-General is to act as the head of the legislative branch of the Yridian government - The Common House. In times of conflict, the Governor-General commands the Yridia System's defense.
| |
| | |
| ==== Field Marshal ====
| |
| | |
| [[Maxamillian von Oberst-Tarentae]] is the Supreme Commander of military forces for the Clan. As Field Marshal, he acts with the leave of the King, Prince and Clan Summit to organize the military and marshall forces in times of war.
| |
| | |
| ==== Equite Noctis ====
| |
| | |
| The Equite Noctis, [[Rekio Corsair]], is the head of not only the Clan's law enforcement, but is rumored to also head the Clan's intelligence arm.
| |
| | |
| === Legislature ===
| |
| | |
| Yridia has a dual legislative arm. One half of the legislature is the Tarentae, the other half is the Common House. The Common House serves as the voice of the population in political affairs. Although The Common House has limited legal power, it is often respected and listened to so as to keep the government running smoothly and without snags from strikes, uprisings and all out rebellion. The Common House is chaired by the Governor-General and seats 21 members - one representative from each major city and large town.
| |
| | |
| When both legislative branches meet, the entire process is overseen by the Grand Chamberlain. When both branches meet, the Common House is afforded a total of two votes - one by the Governor-General and one by the House as a whole. Each seated Tarenate is given one vote. To date, both branches have never been convened to hear and vote upon legislation. The Tarentae are content to leave the day to day runnings of the government to the Common House.
| |
| | |
| === Judiciary ===
| |
| | |
| The Tarentae serve as the highest bench for the system and is generally reserved only to hear affairs within the Clan. Lesser cases (non-clan related, but System wide) are remanded over to a series of lower courts within the system. Once a year an appellate court convenes to re-hear and reconsider past verdicts. This special court is made up of three Clansmen, chosen by the Consul and is a mix of Clan and House Summits as well as Tarentae.
| |
| | |
| The Prince of Yridia and The Sith King reserve the right to overturn any verdict or hear any case that they wish.
| |
| | |
| == Economy ==
| |
| | |
| The Yridia System and Clan Tarentum serve as the economic front for the Brotherhood as a whole. Situated close to the Rimma Trade Route, the majority of the Brotherhood's trade funnels through Yridia in some way. To that end, a multitude of dummy corporations and false fronts are situated on Yridia IX.
| |
| | |
| In addition to being a financial and trade hub for the Brotherhood, Yridia is also a major exporter of solid minerals and foodstuffs. The seas of Yridia II and the arable land of Yrida III contribute greatly to the larders of the Brotherhood as a whole.
| |
| | |
| === Banking and Finance ===
| |
| | |
| A series of financial houses have been setup with their headquarters on Yridia IX. These houses serve as a laundering operation for the Brotherhood. Dealing in large sums (hundreds of millions of credits), these institutions muddle the paper trail leading to and from the Brotherhood. Branches have been founded on other mid-level planets, away from the major financial centers of the galaxy. The fees incurred for laundering offset the operational costs of these branches.
| |
| | |
| It is unknown who runs these institutions, if they operate as the front for one group or where the start up capital was obtained. The only information available is that the deeds list one [[Trevarus Caerick]] as the seller of the properties in question. It is assumed that various key members of the Clan know who runs the institutions, but they have been especially tight lipped, claiming only that Tarentum has no direct stake in the financial interests aside from revenues garnered from taxation.
