The Spacepiress of Chaos
As I am typing this up from my phone, please bear with me.
With the Dead Planet Contest having sparked a bit of muse and driven me to further expand upon my Sanguinius Vampirika sub by creating dead worlds that once served as their Homeworld and Colonies, I've found myself wanting to expand upon that further. This has manifested itself in a desire to fill out Wild Space on the map, as I've calculated that about 50 planets could be subbed and placed on the map.
In the last couple of months I've consolidated my thoughts, pushing myself to focusing on one character, Amelia Sorenn-Syrush. This consolidation was pushed further by my subbing the Holy Order of the Righteous Flame as an NPC faction as a means to better tell their story. I have since kept my focus with threads for the FWC and threads focused on Amelia and her goal of rebuilding House Syrush.
I also understand that there are those that believe that Vampires do not belong in Star Wars, or that the Anzat were enough. I respect this belief and thus this is likely not for you. For many it may also seem as a niche idea, though there have been plenty of those on the board as well.
This I present to you this idea, for your consideration, thought, comments, concerns, and tasteful mocking, i.e. Not malicious or insulting mocking...
The Akeldama Slave Empire Reborn
In my sub of the Dead Planet I had mentioned that Akeldama was the Homeworld of the Sanguinius Vampirika species that was at one time the capital of a slave empire before it was destroyed.
The Akeldama Slave Empire would be similar to the Zygerrian Slave Empire (of which there is little information in both the canonical and lore articles).
Government: Elected Monarchy with an Imperial Diet (Akin to the HRE though without the troublesome elector states and member states). As the ruling class would be predominately members of the Sanguinius Vampirika Species, they would have a limited amount of years in power with the Imperial Diet serving as a check and balance to their power. Of course at anytime this individual could be removed for reasons or step down as they see fit (playing it off due to ooc faction votes and decisions).
Slavery: This is always a touchy subject even within creative writing forums. As it would be a Slave Empire, there of course would be slavery. The focus of this would be that those slaves within the Empire would have an amount of limited rights (making it more akin to indentured servitude). This would also bring the faction an amount of conflict, be it internal or external that would also provide additional plots.
Military: The military would be broken down into four distinct sections. Army, Navy, Starfighter Corps, Stormtrooper Corps, with each section being further broken down with their own internal organizations, departments and divisions. There would also be a large Merchant Navy with their own Merchant Marines that could be called upon as needed.
Species: For the most part the Akeldama Slave Empire would be ruled by the Sanguinius Vampirika species though this is not to say that other species wouldn't have some power or be excluded from being elected the monarch of the Empire. It would be more open, oddly enough, in terms of acceptance of other species even for being a slave Empire.
Nobility: This would denote specific noble houses or in the case of the Vampirika, bloodlines of the species. Only a member of a noble house can serve as the elected monarch or in the imperial Diet. Members that are not nobles could earn the title (albeit a minor title such as baronet) that would provide them the same rights as other nobles.
Non-Nobility: A secondary Parliament would be set up for the needs of the non nobles.
Judicial Corps: The court system would be focused on local courts with a single central tribunal court.
Force Users: Many factions incorporate FUs, and some do not. The Akeldama Slave Empire would utilize them as an internal force, akin to the Jedi Order and the Republic of yore. Neutral FUs would be the focus and they would be more akin to the Imperial Knights if the Fel Empire rather than the Jedi or Sith. They would also have a civilian board that would review them, essentially those that watch the watchers.
All in all it would follow the Aristocratic Vampires in Space theme, though on a lighter scale while also being open to others to join. Additional sections could be added or removed based on ideas shared or comments made to better the core concept.
