The Galaxy of Astraesto is split between many different powers. Most powerful among them being the Federation of Anfieden and Allied Planets and the 4th Empire of Jerace. Both powers leverage allies across the galaxy, ever hopping for an edge over their competitor. The Empire of Apalareas once controlled a vast swath of galactic territory. However, it split, into the opposing Kingdoms of Apreas and Apalachi. Apreas supports the Federation, whereas Apalachi is close allies with Jerace. The Republic of Osheni is another close ally of the Federation. Alongside the major powers are many smaller nations and worlds. The Republic of Kandino is one such power, a protectorate of the Federation, but not an official sector. It has it's own laws and government, although the Federation does provide military protection.
