Imperial Federation of Auraxis

Note: This page uses italicized text for information relevant to Auraxis' in-game clanning and/or community operations.

Imperial Federation of Auraxis (IFA) is a confederation of Worlds which presides over the Twenty Worlds of Auraxis and all colonies and domains of the Auraxian peoples. The seat of Auraxis' interstellar government is located on the terraformed moon of Aurax, and its head of state is the current Emperor Imperis, Chrysalis Arius Trimarch. Estimates of the population of the Twenty Worlds reach as high as 247 billion, and overpopulated Worlds such as Releya may have tens of billion inhabitants each.

Government
The Imperial Federation of Auraxis is an expansionist confederation of Worlds united under the central government on Aurax. Effective control of Auraxis is highly decentralized as each World retains its own planetary government and its own standing defense and expeditionary forces. Each planetary government assigns Consul representatives to advance their World's interests within the Consulate of Aurax, the central nobility advisory body of Auraxis. Major legislative and policy decisions are debated and ratified through Supreme Quorums of Auraxis in marathon lawmaking sessions that can last multiple days. The head of state of the Imperial Federation of Auraxis is the Emperor imperis, an elected official of high birth who earned significant multipartisan support within Supreme Quorums of Auraxis as a vocal and successful intermediary between conflicting parties. The Imperis is responsible for pushing decisive actions in the event of legislative stymie, a bureaucratic problem that occurs all too frequently within the central government. Parties seldom continue bickering after the Imperis becomes involved in a dispute unless they want to feel the wrath of the Combined Fleets of Auraxis.

Major Worlds
The Major Worlds include Aurax, the moon of the ancestral homeworld of the Auraxian people, Athis, and Corin.

Athis was the first successful colony outside the Auraxian Star System after it was established at the beginning of the Third Exodus almost 2,300 years ago. Athis has a population of around 13 billion and is most well-known for its artisans, philosophers, and scientists. The Athesian philosophy of query and quorum became a hallmark of Auraxian society over the last 350 years and now permeates all levels of Auraxian society, from Supreme Quorum decisions at the heart of the central government to important discussions at the local and family levels.

Corin is the major economic hub of Auraxis with many of the wealthiest cities in the Twenty Worlds. Its surface is covered in residential and corporate spires that can reach 200 floors high, massive public transportation systems that can transport passengers across continents in minutes, wide hovercar ownership, and constant spaceport and skylane traffic across the globe. Its population is around 65 billion permanent residents, with around 1 billion living in orbitals and another 750,000,000 commuting to and from the surface every day.

As long-standing Major Worlds, both worlds have significant power within the political and legislative bodies on Aurax. Due to the drastically different policies of Corin and Athis, Supreme Quorums of Auraxis often get gridlocked between the Major Worlds due to conflicts of interest.

Military
Each World contributes fleets to the Combined Fleets of Auraxis, the military machine responsible for defending Auraxian space against all threats, internal and external. The Combined Fleets is comprised of two separate military arms, the Exploratory Force and the Auraxian Defense Forces.

''The Combined Fleets has three operational departments: Warfare, Colonial, and Divisions. ''

''Warfare and Colonial Departments are responsible for hosting most events within the main group. View their Department pages for more information.''
