Qravadox Directorate
The Qravadox Directorate is one of the great powers of the galaxy, its military, economic power and political influence make it a major player in galactic affairs, this entity represents the qravadox, a fungoid species from an unknown planet. However, its galactic position limits his influence, except for the Kingdom of the Houses of Youndarim, the Qravadox Directorate is surrounded by entities that are either hostile to it or suspicious of it, which drastically limits how it can project itself outside its borders.
Structure
The Qravadox Directorate is a unitary state, the territory is directly controlled by the central government, the planets being ruled by governors who are elected by the people for a term of five years. There are no standard structures to respect for the planetary administration, the governors being free to organize it as they wish as long as they do not abrogate the competences of the central government. The qravadox place great importance on science and technology, therefore, as with the central government, most planetary governments have scientific councils which have immense influence in decision-making. These councils take their orders from the central government council, which serves as a bit of a guide to the qravadox science and technology community.
Demography and Population
The exact population is not known, but given the size of the territory and the number of planets that the Qravadox Empire has, it must be equivalent than that of the Myrran Trade Union. The population is exclusively composed of qravadoxs, the majority languages are Krati and Uqano, these two languages are also the official languages of the empire. Others are obviously spoken by the population, but they are more used in the private domain.
Territories
The territory of Qravadox is bordered to the south by the Myrran Trade Union as well as by the Free Uriy Commonwealth, to the north by the galactic limits, to the east by the Kingdom of the Houses of Youndarim and to the west by the Zelvan Council. The territory mainly follows an east-west axis, its exact size is not known, but it must be approximately the same size as that of the Zelvan Council.
Military
The military forces of the empire are superior to those of the Myrran Trade Union, which places them on par with those of the Zelvan Council. The administration of these is carried out by the Ministry of War and their command by a centralized military command. They are divided into four main branches which are the Navy, the Army, the Air Force and the Directorate Guard which correspond to the elite force of the Directorate.
Technological Level
The Qravadox Directorate is approximately on the same technological level as most other entities in the galaxy. Having developed several key technologies in the field of genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, nano-robotics as well as the mastery of supra-luminal travel. All these advances have made it possible to increase life expectancy, facilitate space transport and many other benefits for the population as well as the economy.
Religion
The qravadox people are considered as a people of little religion, their faith turning more towards science and technology which is elevated to the rank of quasi-religion. This devotion, which is indeed elevated to the stage of religion for some, is for the majority of the population a form of it non-religious. However, personal beliefs and even some religion are present in the population, but they affect only a fraction of the population.
Foreign Relations
The Qravadox Directorate has a very good relationship with the Kingdom of the Houses of Youndarim, it is its closest ally and signed a treaty of military cooperation with it in 2441 which stipulates that if one of them is attacked, the other must come to his aid. It also obliges to obtain the approval of the other if one of the two signatories wants to go to war. On the economic level, it is also this entity which is its main trading partner, a treaty was also signed in this area a hundred years after their meeting. The Myrran Trade Union is the biggest rival of the Qravadox Directorate, relations became very bad in the first years after their meeting because of territorial disputes.
This rivalry has been the cause of two conflicts during the story, the last of which caused the Qravadox Directorate to ally itself with the Kingdom of the Houses of Youndarim. Relations with the Free Uriy Commonwealth are also very strong since the empire, although recognizing the existence of this entity, claims all of its territory since it considers it its own. Finally, the relationship with the Zelvan Council and the Federal Republic is bad, but less than that with the Myrran Trade Union because of the distance. Although the Qravadox Directorate is aware of the existence of the Onatach Empire and the Holy Kingdom of Katho, no diplomatic relations have been established since they do not see the advantage with the distances between them.
Agriculture & Industry
Agriculture within the Directorate is provided by a mixture of urban farms, traditional farms which gives them very good food self-sufficiency allowing them to satisfy their population. As for the industry, it is very varied to succeed in meeting the needs of their people and their armed forces with their military production.
Trade & Transport
Like all entities within the galaxy, interstellar transport, whether of goods or people, is carried out thanks to gates. These are artificial constructions acting as a sort of accelerator for the ships which activate their Star Drive creating a bubble, the latter subsequently increasing its speed phenomenally thanks to the gate. Within the systems, the qravadoxs have their own version of the Alcubian Drive which allows them to travel faster than the speed of light. On the planets, transport systems similar to those of the Republic were put to move individuals within and between the cities. The Qravadox Directorate's main known trading partner is the Kingdom of the Houses of Youndarim with which the majority of foreign trade is done, it is also very likely that another significant part is done with the unknown species.
Infrastructure
Like all entities within the galaxy, the most important infrastructure which makes interstellar travel possible and therefore the existence of galactic civilization is the gate network. To complement this, numerous space stations are used so that the vessels can refuel and repair during their journey. Others are set up for planetary contexts with those in orbit which aim to make the link between spaceports in cities and space. As for the military, orbital stations are also built for defense purposes or to serve as a naval base. A network of military bases has been set up on the planets to ensure their defense in the event of an attack and to welcome the ground offensive military forces of the Qravadox Directorate.

Legislative Body
The Parliament is the main legislative body of the Qravadox Directorate, it is composed of deputies who proportionally represent the population of each planet. Part of the parliament is also reserved for deputies from the scientific and technological community elected by their colleagues. They are all elected for a term of six years, with a maximum of five terms, the parliament is renewed at each election.
Judicial Body
The Supreme Court is the main judicial body of the Qravadox Directorate, it is in charge of enforcing the laws and the Directorate Charter which is the main document that organizes the federal government.
Executive Body
The executive branch of government is headed by the Chairman of the Directorate who is elected by popular vote for a six-year term, renewable once. He appoints his Prime Minister and his government who will ensure the administration of the directorate via the many ministries which take charge of these competences. Another important component of the government is the Federal Council of Science and Technology, which although it does not have a decision-making role, its opinion is very important because of the collective importance that the qravadox attach to this domain.

Surprised this doesn't have a link to a species article for them. It might be interesting to have some kind of historical section talking about why a fungoid species developed such similar governmental bodies to the other more mammalian species. Very interesting writeup otherwise. I really like the zoomable relation map.
Thank you very much! Yeah, I discovered this feature recently and I also find it amazing. For the species articles, it is in my short term plans to make one article on each species of the galaxy so if you don't want to miss it, don't forget to subscribe to my world. I know it may seem futile, but for me it gives me extra motivation and a feeling of recognition that is important for myself. Also, your feedback will be a precious thing for me to improve my work!
