The Imperial Family
His Intergalactic Imperial Majesty Drake I
NAME: Drake Patterson
OFFICIAL TITLE: His Imperial Majesty
AGE: 32
BIRTHPLACE: Michaelopolis, Panthera
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Straight
MARITAL STATUS: Married to Empress-Queen Jade
CHILDREN: None
BIO: Born on Panthera to a merchant family, Patterson grew up not knowing of the struggles the empire would later face. He became a member of the Merchants' Guild, a hitherto unknown group within the empire who espoused peace in the name of commercial and financial security. Though they played a negligible role in the Barlat Assault, their influence grew rapidly during the reconstruction period. They attempted to bring a peaceful resolution to the crisis with the USOA provoked by Michael III's decision to pass the crown to Prince Aoki and step down. They opposed Nicolas' proclamation of peace with the USOA while that nation was engaged in attempted xenocide against the empire. At age 31, Drake Patterson found himself the head of the Merchants' Guild and in a position to direct the outrage of the people forced to flee the Milky Way into using the starcharts to begin a quest for a galaxy where Trekylon and Inuyashia could thrive without disturbing the volatile balance of power among the factions. It was because of his status as a 'common man' and leader of the Merchants' Guild that the Council of Ministers, the Senate of the Imperial Parliament, and the Magistrate selected him to become Regent of Trekylon during the transition process. Upon the founding of Imperiopolis and the reestablishment of Imperial power, Drake became emperor as Drake I. He faced his first major internal crisis with the outbreak of the Trekylon Civil War, in which a faction of politicians and military ex-veterans banded together to attempt to overthrow him and restore a more militant Imperial government, possibly under a Harvey. Despite setbacks early in the civil war, such as the temporary losses of colony-systems, and terrorist attacks, Drake I managed to retain enough support from the majority of the people, as well as close allies Inuyashia and the Federate Cherokee State, and even former Laptev and Barlat enemies who feared a resurgence under the rebels' new order, to liberate the captive planets and drive the rebels to their last stronghold and final defeat.
Personal Life
Drake Patterson was born on the world of Panthera, in the city of Michaelopolis, which was located about 60 miles from the planetary and second Imperial capital of New Columbus, to Edward James Patterson and Kioma Rae (Leighton) Patterson. He was the eldest of five children, two boys and three girls: Manilow, Jaleasa, John-Paul and Kyrie. He attended Afria High School where he graduated third in his class. Soon after graduation, his father invited him to a meeting of the Merchants Guild, and soon after Drake was inducted into the Guild. His father stepped down as leader of the Guild in 2313, and thru unanimous decision Drake became leader of the Guild. It was then that he made his second visit to the old capital, Enterprise (his first was when he was 9 years old. He met Emperor Michael I as part of a class trip. Little did he realize the destiny soon to be in store for him), where he met then-emperor Michael III. When Michael III lost his life saving the Enterprise-A and crew from a black hole, Drake was one of two candidates for the regency. Though his rival Nicholas Peterson did make efforts to bring the Undeclared War with USOA to an end, resulting in his assassination on their soil, it was Drake who made the most of his mercantile connections, meeting with 23 heads-of-state in the Givosion Empire to reach settlements with the various enemy and former enemy nations. At the same time, and again using his mercantile connections, he rediscovered Bode's Galaxy (Galaxy 23A). This was what propelled him into politics as the Council of Ministers, who had been acting in the executive role since the death of Michael III, appointed him regent. The successful resettlement of the people of Trekylon, and the assistance rendered to Inuyashia would lead, in February 2315 to his elevation to the purple, as Drake I.
Drake I met the Lady Jade Marawa Harvey in April of 2315, during a state visit to Inuyashia to meet with her adoptive mother Rebecca I. This would also mark the third time he met directly with former Trekylon emperor Michael I (the first being at his coronation ceremony, in disguise). Drake I and Lady Jade continued to court each other even as Drake I was dealing with the Trekylon Civil War and its immediate aftermath. As a part of the celebrations marking the Convention of Imperiopolis, on September 15th 2315, Drake I and Lady Jade were married, thus making Jade Empress of Trekylon. Drake I supported the decision of Michael I to make Jade the Queen of the Verulon Star Republic alongside her father as king. Drake I also presides over the Interstellar Trekylon Commonwealth and the Intergalactic Federacy as co-president alongside Empress Rebecca I of Inuyashia.

Her Intergalactic Imperial Majesty Empress-Queen Jade
NAME: Jade Marawa (Harvey)
OFFICIAL TITLE: Empress-Queen Jade
AGE: 18
BIRTHPLACE: Lowelltown, Luneria
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Straight
MARITAL STATUS: Married to Emperor Drake I
CHILDREN: None
BIO: Jade Marawa was born on Luneria colony back in the Treksylvania era, daughter of Chief Justice Lillian Hanby and former Luneria Finances CEO Jerome Marawa. Her early life was that of a typical child born and raised on the Moon, with excursions out to the Tranquility plain, crater-surfing in the Tycho crater (at age 6), and occasional visits to Earth. At age 10, Jade and her family moved to Argolis, as a result of a new financial opportunity for her father. They lived in the town of New Albion until the comet disaster which caused the tsunami which buried the town, along with 23 other villages. Jade managed to survive by clinging to floating debris, but her parents, and most of her family were killed in the killer wave. After spending several days in an orphanage on Tydonia, Jade had a chance meeting with Michael I, making a goodwill tour of the colonies. Moved by her story of survival, and learning that she had no blood relatives left alive, he officially adopted her. She gained the Harvey name and a royal title, and received the best education in the Imperial Court. She often found herself acting as a second mother to the youngest children Mitsuki, Ramus, and Remus. It is said that she's closest to Remus, as his twin and Mitsuki are very close. She traveled, with her adoptive sister Lyta and adoptive mother Rebecca I on state visits, as a way to introduce her to diplomacy and foreign politics. Because she had already passed the Age of Ascension, her ceremony was somewhat reduced from what was typical for royalty and nobility.
She remained with her family for many years, even after Michael I was forced from the throne of Trekylon. Briefly considered as a replacement for Michael I due to the fact she was a Harvey only by adoption (having no royal blood whatsoever), Jade resigned herself to the title of Princess of Inuyashia and Nominal Heir to the Throne of Trekylon (though because of the steadfast refusal of the Barlat powers to consent to her assuming the throne simply because she was tied to the old dynasty, she could not exercise even limited authority there). It was in Ryujin that she met new Trekylon emperor Drake I and became attracted to him. She announced her intention to court him during a meeting he had with both Michael I (as former emperor) and Empress Rebecca I. With their blessing, Jade and Drake I courted for several months, but could not marry due to the Trekylon Civil War then raging. When her adoptive mother was abducted, tortured and held captive, she assumed the mother role, raising the younger children with the assistance of Princess Lyta. Both girls aided Michael I in rehabilitating the recovered empress, hardly leaving her side. Through it all, she and Drake I continued to court each other, finally setting their wedding date to coincide with the celebrations commemorating both the end of the Civil War and the establishment of new nation-states on the planet Gaia. With their marriage, she became Empress of Trekylon as well as Princess of Inuyashia. She would add another title when Michael I, with Drake I's encouragement, asked her to assume the title of Queen of a reconstituted Verulon Star Republic as a result of the Trekylon-Xie War (Restoration War or the IGF-Barlat War). While this is believed to be only temporary while Verulon rebuilds, Jade's new title was consecrated as Empress-Queen. She remains heir presumptive to the crown of Inuyashia as well.

Other Imperial Provinces(Gaia)
Province of Laurasia
Located in the Amazonian Ocean between Amazonia and Sahelia, the islands of Laurasia were formed from ancient volcanic eruptions. One such volcano continues to erupt, though thankfully such eruptions are not of the explosive and destructive variety. Only the large island of Ardra and the two smaller archipelagos of the Hermetic Islands and the Isles of Olympus are part of the Empire and are governed collectively as the Province of Laurasia, though there remains opportunities to expand Imperial rule south and west to include Crescent Island and the Isles of Apollo.
Capital: Arbor City, Hermetic Islands

Capital: Arbor City, Hermetic Islands
Commonwealth of the Tolkiens
Located in the Lemurian Ocean south of Orientalia and east of Sahelia. This subcontinent was built by a combination of natural volcanic and seismic activity and artificial construction. Before the enhancements, one observer noted that the islands resembled in miniature the lands of Middle Earth as described by JRR Tolkien. As a result, each island territory was named for a particular character or region in the Tolkien series.As with the Laurasian subcontinent, there is ample chances to expand Imperial authority over larger areas of the Tolkien subcontinent, but no plans to go beyond those areas already settled. Also unlike Laurasia, which is a full provincial administration, the Tolkien subcontinental territories are a commonwealth of Trekylon.
Capital: Rivendale, state of Eriador

Capital: Rivendale, state of Eriador
Commonwealth of Achea
Located in the northeast sector of Australis as well as the Abraham archipelago, the Commonwealth of Achea was named after the large lake which helps to separate Achea from the Heran territories of the M'lor'a Archipelago as well as the unsettled remainder of Australis. This is the furthest southwest that Trekylon has established Imperial rule.
Capital: New Adelaide

This is the furthest southwest that Trekylon has established Imperial rule.
Capital: New Adelaide
Territory of New Antarctica
New Antarctica, much as its namesake on Earth, is a cold, barren continent where the Gaian South Pole is located. Because of the lack of food and medical supplies except twice a month via transport, there are few settlements on the continent. The administrative regions have thus been named after the many different names for Hell such as Diablion, Charybdis, and Tartarus. These regions are administered directly by the Imperial Court and the Interior Ministry and as such has no capital

Colonies of Trekylon
Hera
Discovered at the same time as Gaia, Hera is the partner in the double-planet system and shares three moons with Gaia. Its believed that Hera may have a fourth moon, though no evidence has been thus far found. Class-M with slightly more surface water than Gaia, Hera carries the same varied climates as her partner planet. The planet has a slow rotation period due to the gravitational influence of Gaia, making a Heran day approximately 27.3 Earth-hours. A Heran year, like the Gaian year is approximately 395.2 Earth-days. Named for the Greek goddess and wife of Zeus, Hera has been discovered to have a primitive (by Trekylon's technological standards), primate-humanoid civilization that has developed primitive spaceflight, though not warp-drive. Contact with this native civilization is expected to be limited until such time as they achieve FTL travel, with strict emphasis on the disapproval of the Imperial government on sharing technology for FTL travel.

The two images of Hera (above and right) were made by the orbiting Base-star 15 after arriving from Givosion space. The above image shows the general outline of continents, islands, and oceans, as well as the ice-caps. The area of Imperial control is outlined in red.
The image at right shows a closeup of the outlined Imperial territory, broken down into sectors for the races of the empire.The Earth sector is unique in having a spiral bay which can give shelter to naval vessels both military and civilian. The Romulan sector holds one large island and a cluster of smaller islands, which border on the Inuyashian territory. The Klingon sector is another cluster of islands, reserved by War Minister Martok for hunting game and religious ceremony. A island jungle was set aside for the Gorn as the environment is suitable for Gorn hatcheries. Adjoining the Earth, Romulan, and Klingon sectors, the Central Island is where the District Government seat is located. Its location makes it possible for Human, Romulan, Klingon, and Gorn to meet for important issues. |
Gallipoli
The third moon of the Gaia-Hera double planet system, Gallipoli is named for the Turkish fortress which withstood the siege of an Anglo-French/ANZAC amphibious assault done in the hope of knocking Turkey from the First World War. Its a Class-M moon with lightly more active seismic activity than Earth due to the dual influences of Gaia and Hera. Orbiting both planets, Gallipoli's rotation gives it the total of 23.1 Earth-hours, meaning that at least three times a year, both parent planets can be seen in the sky together. 66% of the moon is covered in ocean with the rest a mix of forest, plain, and icecap. Trekylon established a presence on Gallipoli at the very same time that settlement of both Gaia and Hera took place. The moon is primarily a series of military outposts and preserved forest and grassland with few civilian settlements

Both the large image and the close-up of Gallipoli were made by Base-star 15 on its closest approach to the moon. At right, the area of Imperial settlement shows the breakdown as Breen were encouraged to settle alongside the Humans. Gallipoli's promise as a military outpost comes from the fact of its orbit on the perimeter of the Gaia-Hera system, however, settlement here is sparse due to the seismic and tectonic activity resulting from the conflicting gravitational influences of Gaia, Hera, and the sun.
|
Ielia and Mojavia
Ielia is the first moon of the Gaia-Hera double planet system, with 78% of its surface covered in water. Research facilities are currently the limit of colonization by the empire as there are few landmasses to settle. It is also deemed imperative by the government to protect the oceans of Ielia as any contact with the marine and amphibious lifeforms could prove fatal to them and/or the settlers.
|
Mojavia is the second moon of the Gaia-Hera double planet system. Only 4% of its entire surface area is water, making this a desert world. Few settlements have been established because of this, with the exceptions being those around the few free-flowing rivers, oases, and lakes. Mojavia is an enclave of the Vulcan Federation, which is a strong ally of both Trekylon and Inuyashia, and as such plays a role in both the Intergalactic Federacy (as a colony of Vulcan) and the Gaian Union (as an associate member).

Symbols of State
Previous Flags of the Empire
Figure 1.:Flag of the Panther Republic (October 2299 - November 2300) This flag was first hoisted in the courtyard of the Government Center in the town of Smiths Station. Created by Michael, the flag was immediately viewed as a rallying banner for the later campaigns of unification in the post-Confederation of Dixie period. This design was modified to become the municipal flag of the city of Smiths Station and currently resides in the Historic Museum.
Figure 2.: Flag of the Confederation of Dixie/ Republic of Alabama (Dixie 2085 - 2280)(Republic November 2300 - October 2306) This flag was adopted from a slightly different version upon the reunification of the former state of Alabama into the Republic of Alabama and lasted until most of the former Confederation was brought under centralized rule. The original version of this flag had a longer lifespan as the official flag of the atheist Confederation of Dixie. This flag can be found in the Historic Museum.
Figure 3.: Flag of the Kingdom of Treksylvania (October 2306 - May 2308) This flag was first flown over Havana, Cuba (Cubana) on October 15th 2306 as a symbol of the final conquests in the 'Unification Wars' which had begun years before. The flag was hoisted on the Moon (Luneria Colony) four months later. This flag had the second shortest lifespan as the official flag of the State, behind the Panther Republic flag. This flag can be found in the Historic Museum.
Figure 4.: The Empire of Treksylvania Flag (May 2308 - August 2309) This flag was inaugurated shortly after the first series of extrasolar colonies were established on Argolis, Tsalagi, and Atlantia. Nicknamed the 'Neon Emblem banner' due to the neon appearance of the emblem, this flag was the first of two new designs. It is now housed in the Historic Museum.
Figure 5.: The Imperial Federation-modified Neon Emblem flag (August 2309 - August 2311) This flag was modified after Treksylvania joined the Imperial Federation as a autonomous commonwealth. Because the IF was often the target of avaricious neighbors who were unwilling to tolerate the IF's self-styled 'Fortress Defense', Treksylvania was often dragged into conflicts through association. The Second Yee War saw the end of the Treksylvanian regime despite the survival of Michael I in exile, and as a result, this flag was lowered and now is displayed in the Historic Museum.
Figure 6.: The Eagle and Sky Flag of Holy Trek (August 2311 - October 2312) This was the first flag of the new nation of Holy Trek, risen from the ashes of the fallen Treksylvania with the return of Michael I and the restoration of Imperial authority in the colonies. This flag would only have a year of 'independent' representation before a return to the commonwealth system of the Imperial Federation marked a change in the solely nationalist banner. This flag currently resides in the Historic Museum and is also featured on a collector's edition postage stamp.
Figure 7.: IF modified Eagle and Sky (October 2312 - December 2312) Once again, the admission of Holy Trek into the Imperial Federation commonwealth system proved to be of little benefit in the face of rising anti-IF rhetoric. This design mod didn't last long, as it was decided that a new color was needed to improve the image of Holy Trek projected abroad. This flag can be found in the Historic Museum.
Figure 2.: Flag of the Confederation of Dixie/ Republic of Alabama (Dixie 2085 - 2280)(Republic November 2300 - October 2306) This flag was adopted from a slightly different version upon the reunification of the former state of Alabama into the Republic of Alabama and lasted until most of the former Confederation was brought under centralized rule.

Figure 7.: IF modified Eagle and Sky (October 2312 - December 2312) Once again, the admission of Holy Trek into the Imperial Federation commonwealth system proved to be of little benefit in the face of rising anti-IF rhetoric.
