Gentlesophonts:
Here's some additional material for *Shall Not Perish*, our TML Regency
sourcebook.
We've already identified the following political blocs for the Regency:
Isolationists want to maintain the Quarantine.
-Led by the Duke/Duchess of Trin's Veil?
Expansionists want to move out into the Wilds.
-Enjoys Instellarms backing.
Democrats seek to expand `democratic' values.
-Led by the Duke/Duchess of Gazulin?
Aristocrats want to maintain the noble aristocracy.
-Led by Duchess Elane of Mora
-Possibly known as Muudashirists?
-Enjoy much support among the House of Nobles
Tolerants favor a relaxation of psi prejudices.
-Discretely supported by SuSAG.
Santanocheevists oppose any moves toward accommodation with the Zhodani.
-Led by the Duke/Duchess of Rhylanor?
-Enjoys Instellarms backing.
Imperialists still hope to one day resurrect the Old Imperium.
-Led by the Duke/Duchess of Deneb?
-Enjoys support from Tukera Lines.
Autnomists favor independence and a complete break from the Imperial past.
I'd like to propose two additional blocs:
Interventionists want the Regency to play a stronger role in the affairs
of individual worlds.
-Enjoys support among most megacorps.
Sovereigntists oppose efforts to limit the sovereignty of individual worlds.
