Stygian Ascendancy

The Isen Star Republic believes itself to be a shining beacon of hope and freedom in the Lapsarian Sector. Through technology and democracy they hope to become strong enough to protect the free peoples of the sector.

History
The Icarean Dominion was established approximately eight hundred years ago. After the development of interstellar travel, and the introduction of outside cultures and societies, the people of the Icarus System rose up against the long standing Monarchy, whose resources proved to be stretched too thin with the recent colinization of other worlds in their system, and the leaders of the rebellion drafted the Charters of Liberation. Since then The Icarus Dominion has grown to encompass 4 planets and a moon. Hypergates have been constructed and placed at locations strategic to inter-system fraternization. Checkpoint stations are located just inside each hypergate, and the brainchild of Former Chancellor Halas, Providence Medical Treatment Center, was constructed and established just 85 years ago. PMTC is the most advanced medical center in the entire sector.

Culture
The Icarean culture thrives on technological and medical advancements. Their society values knowledge and functionality above all else. As such, one would not come to a world in the ID and expect to find frivilous usage of luxurious adornments. The culture as a whole is not hostile, but the understanding of a need to defend ones sell is a basic instinct, and the functionality of a fully prepared military is hard to ignore. Cybernetic implants and prosthetics are not uncommon on any being in the sector. The technology was created decades ago and as such is widely availiable to the public. Medically sound and purely advantageous to improved function, cybernetic surgeory has intergrated itself soundly into Icarean social norms.

Trade
The ID is open to trade with almost anyone. As long as there are no hostile intentions detected, they are a friendly government eager to make new trading partners.
