Lore Template:
PLANETARY REGIME/PROTECTORATE/GOVERNATE/FIEFDOM
You could submit this as an organisation in the lore section of the codex. But, I feel it would be better to have its own category. Because there are niches which aren't examined in the organisation template. I think if we have a dedicated, easy to use template to help the codex with things like governments under MF's and to really encourage factions to flesh out the planets under their domain and codify their dominions in a way, describing what they've got going on. Because lets face it, once a dominions done, there aren't many MF's which decide to deep dive, and elaborate on the lore of territories under their control and give them some unique flair.
The reason I added an expansive military section, is because I think, unless you're really going to go through the whole hog rigor of subbing a military NPC sub, you will because 9/10, you'll use it in combat RP. But the purpose for this, is if you just want a random NPC stormtrooper garrison, to add some flair. Like say, I just wanted to have X planet be garrisoned by stormtroopers. But I want them to be purple, and they train people, and won't really appear outside of that setting. Which I know I won't use in invasions. But I want it noted that that's how stormtroopers will specifically look on X planet.
Could open the way for more RP for say Republic/Democratic factions to talk about how each planet votes etc. And a way to establish military districts for more imperial/Darkside factions, and describe some of the more inhumane things they may have in their occupied territories.
