Ta'shen is a world inside the territory of the former Romulan Star Empire within close proximity to the shared borders of the Romulan Free State and Romulan Republic. A resort world in the days of the Old Romulan Star Empire, Ta'shen had continued in that capacity as well as serving as an unofficial centre for off-the-books diplomacy and deal-making thanks to a rarely granted 'free port' status, at least for the other Romulan states.
History
Founding? Resort world for centuries and centuries? Minor mineral extraction and agriculture are located far from the resorts to keep them supplied. Reliant on off-world imports to major technology and expansion. Slaves were brought in to run the behind the scenes stuff, fight in the coliseum, staff the less savoury destinations.
Environment
A bit about the general environment, but then more about around the city of T'ma'ru as it really is the singular destination.
T'ma'ru
The capital city of T'ma'ru...
Factions
Outline the factions vying for control of Ta'shen.
Senate Loyalists
The die-hards of the Empire. This coup is nothing to worry about. The true loyalists in the navy will rise up, smash this threat, and restore order. Likely whichever Admiral does it will declare themselves Preator and the Empire will dust off the old playbook and be back in business within a few months. Until then best to wait it out right?
Notable figures
Lo’nic Creval, Governor of Ta’shen, a man who was appointed to the position by the good graces of his predecessor. His family would be considered part of the Empire’s very small Middle Class, with no senatorial connections by blood. He retained his position purely by keeping Ta'shen functional for the aristocrats of the Empire to visit and the flow of intelligence it provided regarding visitors. With no military connections he will do anything to maintain the status quo on his world until the Senate can retake control and hopefully find someone amongst its ranks as a patron.
Planetary Garrison
They’re in the dark about the coup. They’ve just heard that a slave revolt in nearby systems has apparently spread beyond one world and the slaves here have got it in their fool heads to do the same. They’ve been charged with protecting the governor’s palace until relief arrives. More than enough of them to hold the palace but if they ever actually got their orders, then things could get really ugly really quick.
Notable figures
Major...
Reman slaves
They’re declaring for Resak and his provisional government. They hold no real grudges against the common Romulan people, but the aristocrats have to go. Violently. French Revolutionaries. Round up all the nobles, put them down. Then figure out what to do.
Notable figures
Who?
Romulan slaves
A chance to actually have a say? Awesome! Under a Reman? Yah...nah. No offence to their Reman comrades, but seriously. Democratic revolutionaries are more likely. Claim Ta’shen as independent, maybe side with the Republic if they can get support to settle things planetside.
Notable figures
Who?
Orion slaves
Orions have literally been the punching bags of the ‘entertainment’ industry here and are ready to take revenge. One in particular is willing to try and make a power play for the world, or be in a position to get off world if everything goes wrong. She doesn’t want to rule directly, but is happy to be viceroy to whoever does. Not as large as the other factions, but armed with gladiators and pillow talk intel.
Notable figures
Serti is a middle-aged Orion woman of handsome features and average height and build. She's the unofficial head of the Orion families on Ta'shen and through years of manipulation had won not quite her freedom, but a position of authority as a manager of certain aspects of Ta'shen's entertainment industries. Her intelligence gathering apparatus is the same entertainment industry she was entrusted to manage and as such she knows far more about the world and other players on it than most would be happy to hear about.
She's a fierce and determined woman set on the goal of Ta'shen as an Orion world, or at least not a Romulan or Reman world, though they are welcome to stay, as all would be on her world. She's willing to make deals to secure her position and the fate of her birth world, but she will not trade one collar for another.
Miscellaneous slaves
Sizable population of other slaves from around the Empire who worked the worst jobs alongside the Remans. Of course they’re less inclined to follow Resak though. One in particular, an actual Romulan, is preaching about a state of the People, for the People. Space Communists.
Notable figures
Who?
Testing space for a lot of weird shit. Examples of most infoboxes are commented out in the source for this page. Look at your own peril. Also, Starbase Kickass and its associated shenanigans are Totally Canon. All events are real and undocumented as no one wants to admit they exist.
