THAN
HEGEMONY
One
of the most powerful political entities in the post-Commonwealth
Known Worlds is the Than Hegemony. With its capital at San-Ska-Re,
the Hegemony has managed to maintain a fairly stable government
in much of the Triangulum Galaxy while preserving key components
of the former Commonwealth's economic and technological
base. However, the Than Hegemony is also beleaguered by
enemies on all sides, and its large defense fleet is often
stretched thin fighting off attacks by the Drago-Kazov Nietzscheans
and Kalderan Commune, raids by Magog and pirates, and Restorian
terrorism.
The Than Hegemony includes worlds populated by several other
species, including humans. The people under their sphere
of influence try to imitate Than society, living in large
communal "families" and attaching themselves to
a specific caste. Perhaps not surprisingly, many humans
have adapted quite well to Than culture and hold positions
of power inside the Hegemony. But while life within the
Than Hegemony offers a measure of security, it comes at
the cost of surrendering much of the personal autonomy to
which many species are accustomed in favor of a more regimented
existence.
