Si vis pacem, para bellum
The Solidarity wishes to bring a new dark age to the galaxy, a dark age which they control. We wish to bring down the Force Orders and their puppet governments and bring about a new era, free of their tyrannical rule. The solidarity will do anything to attain power and achieve their goals, even the deaths of innocent bystanders in this conflict to create a new galaxy for all to prosper. With loyalty to the Sovereign, and strength from the viceroys, we shall overcome our obstacles to create a new domain that spans from the furthest reaches of the outer rim, to the outermost systems in the Tingel Arm. Once the Solidarity has completed its mission, only then, will true, eternal peace, be established.
Executive Authority
The Executive Authority is the governing branch of the Solidarity. They hold absolute power over their subjects and through a feudal military and legal system, rule with an level of autonomy unmatched by any other form of government. At the top of the structure we have the Sovereign of Solidarity, the overall monarch of the entire Solidarity. The monarchy is not succeeded via hereditary succession, it is rather, an elective monarchy, where a council of all the senior nobles of the Solidarity come together to elect a new king. The Sovereign holds command over the Host, the Paladin's League, his own landed title's Levies, and the Viceroys. There are three landed title nobles, the Viceroy, Daimyo, and Dominus, who lead their province and their levies, and one unlanded title noble, Junker, who serves as more of an advisor/councilman in a Daimyo's or Dominus' court.
The Host
The Host is the standing army of the Solidarity, created due to the balance of power heavily residing with the nobles. They are intended to be used as a mass force army, having a smaller, rather than larger, amount of high trained and quality equipped units. Most of the infantry is equipped with blasters and other ranged weapons, but there is a limited amount of melee units and units that double as ranged and melee. Although there is several artillery units, the Host does not operate any armored vehicles. Weapons are standard issue, but armor and uniform are self provided, creating a uniqueness among the units, similar to Viceroy/Daimyo/Dominus levies. There are four officer ranks, and three enlisted ranks. The officers and the highest ranking enlisted command in decimals of ten.
Paladin League
The Paladin League is an order of expert war fighters serving as law enforcement, military specialists, and operatives of the Solidarity. They are hand chosen from levy forces, the Host, nobility, and even outsiders to ensure only the best soldiers in and out of the Solidarity serve the Grandmaster and the Sovereign. The League is split into orders divided by planets, and these orders not only serve the League, but serve the court of the planet's Viceroy. Not all Paladins are bound to an order, denoted by the title Errant, they are free Paladins who do only what the Grandmaster or the Sovereign orders them to, not any order's leadership structure, or any planetary Viceroy. There are four ranks in the League, which identify their experience within the Paladin League.
The Sects
The Sects are divisions of cultures, ethnicities, and religions that hold a level of autonomy while living inside Solidarity territory. They are organized under the Sect Commissioner who ensures they are given land to live off, their religion/culture is well assimilated, all for a small tax. More often than not, they hold their own warrior divisions that often are used in conjunction with levies and the Host. A useful addition to the culture and military capacity of the Solidarity.
Declare your allegiance to the Solidarity today, bring an end to the Force Orders, and free the galaxy of their tyranny.
