Chapter 9 - 9 Information about the World Part 1 (Edited)

[POV Asher]

Back at my quarters I lay down on my bed and began to digest all the situations which happened till now. From arriving here to the battle, we just fought and picking up a princess and now heading to a colony.

"I must admit things are progressing at an terrifying speed" I thought to myself

"…"

"So, Minerva what did you acquire about this new galaxy" I asked

[Minerva: Thanks to the archives on the transport ship I now know all the basic information about this galaxy]

"Good then tell me the major information's like nations, our location and the territories" I said to Minerva.

[Minerva: Yes Master]

[Minerva: We are currently in the Empire von Hohenburg one of the human nations in the galaxy. It is a constitutionally Monarchy ruled by the three parities of commoners, the nobles and the highest supreme authority in the nation is the family von Hohenburg.

The family Von Hohenburg is the supreme authority in the country. The imperial family consists of the emperor, empress and two concubines together they have two princes and four princesses all ranging from the age of twenty-two to eighteen. The parents all have a rather close relationship while the children are fighting for the throne and the supreme authority.

The Empire spans about 4 large and 7 Medium and 12 Small Sized Star Regions.

Star Regions are categorized into large, medium and small consisting of 150 – 200 Star Systems, 100 – 150 Star Systems and 30 – 100 Star Systems. Star systems are categorized systems where one star and at least one planet exists.

Star Regions are governed either by a council of commoners or nobles which the ranks vary by the size of regions. For noble ranks depending on large Regions a Grand Duke or Duke is normally responsible, then for medium territories a Marquese to Counts and lastly for small Regions Viscounts to Barons.

The Capital of the Hohenburg Empire is Königsberg with a population of 3 billion and it is the economic and politic heart of the Empire. While the entire Empire has a population of 12 billion people.

The Empire is believed to have around 7000 Warships which of 1500 span across its borders. The rest are kept in reserve by the imperial family or are in the hands of noble households. Depending on the strategic location to frequency of attacks the garrisons on the border may varies between 10 to 100.

The only nation the Empire von Hohenburg is at war with is the Republic of Kendmills.

Kendmills is believed to have a military strength of around 4000 Warships and is an economic powerhouse which is ruled by a council of seven selected members. Due to its financial strength the nation can employ a lot of mercenaries in case of major war battle. Which makes it close to the strength of the Empire.

However due to the fact that both sides are cautious of their surrounding neighbours a secret agreement was reached to limit the number of forces engaged in the war to only the strengths of the garrisons employed on the borders. And neither side has made a breakthrough in the war so far and are at a stalemate with small skirmishes happening two to three times a year.]

"So basically, the imperial family von Hohenberg is like the imperial Rome in my past life where their borders expanded to the limit, were constantly weakened by barbarians, and then fell due to several catastrophises and internal strife," I thought while listening to Minerva.

[Minerva: The empire borders the republic on its north eastern borderline and we are currently in that direction. To the north, west and east the empire borders various other kingdoms and also small region states.

Region States consists of only one or two star regions and are mostly independent city states which are ruled by one house or a council.

To the south the empire borders the Unclaimed territories due to a wall like curtain of asteroid belts, blackholes, wormholes and alien beasts, no country who borders it could fly into there and discover the other side.

Also due to frequent attacks from alien beasts it is also the most fortified and most heavenly defended border of the Empire with average fleet garrisons in that region in the range from 100 to 200 warships in each system.

Expeditions were made but they encountered storms, alien beasts, wormholes, and technology failures of their various devices on their ships.

Since then, nobody tried to venture into that area again. And occasionally on the southern border of the empire, alien beast would break out of the Unclaimed territories causing damage to various colonies which border this side. Which is also why the southern border is the most fortified of the empire.

However, the Resurgent Class Star Destroyer would be able to pass through this wall and explore the other side.]

"So, the Unclaimed territories would make a good place to establish our base of operations making it easy for us to attack others while making it impossible for our enemies to attack us, this only applies as long as there are no other space civilizations on the that side. But if there are none, then that means we could grow rapidly without interference." I thought while pondering if I should venture there or stay in the empire for the meantime.
