Asendow
Born as a remote trading outpost, just large enough to cover what
little traffic existed among the rarefied human presence in this part
of the galaxy, Asendow found itself catapulted to prominence with the
first ships returning from the far side of the galaxy in centuries.
With shipping increasing by orders of magnitude in a few short years,
their orbital facilities grew into a cosmopolitan orbital city of
impressive size, and terraforming of the planet below started in
earnest. More importantly, Asendow has been building up a powerful
war fleet, ostensibly to protect commercial traffic in the area, but
also to keep at bay any local powers that might covet their newfound
fortune.
Military crews from Asendow are relatively inexperienced, but eager
to assist anyone in need within the territory they patrol. They aren't
likely to take bribes or turn a blind eye to less than legal
activities. The polity's leadership has been working hard to broker
mutual defense and cooperation treaties with all their neighbors, or
at least non-aggression in the case of Helia. In practice, however,
they are yet to be taken seriously, even after several demonstrations
of their growing power.
