Psadu Protectorate
The Psadu Protectorate was officially inaugurated in 2010, after the previous Psadu Union partially relinquished itself to join the Sirasion Empire as a protectorate of the empire. Previous to this, Psadu was a world that, while rich in biological resources, had little military strength or natural resources to even defend their home system. However, being a water world, Psadu is difficult to assault directly, as very little solid landmass is on the surface. Thus the world was under near-constant ransoming and threat by pirates and privateers for 5 years until the Sirasion empire stepped in to establish order.
After this, Psadu's government elected to join the empire as a protectorate, and in return for their protection, Psadu gives the empire biological matter and serves as a training ground for oceanic warfare for the Imperial military, as well as giving the empire exclusive rights to utilise the planet's moon however they wish. A significant number of Aquanoid colonists also emmigrated to the world, helping the Psaduans to construct infrastructure that is more suitable for an interstellar-level civilisation.
There are some Psaduans who believe that, over time, their cultural traditions and ways of life are being altered and changed by the empire, and fear that soon enough they will simply be another uninteresting planet in the Sirasion Empire. Their opponents are quick to point out, however, that without imperial strength, they would still be under constant threat from pirates and other threats from outside the sector.
Psaduans as a people posess a remarkable ability to swim and hold their breath for 30 or 40 minutes, and are highly proficient as hunters and survivalists, even above the water. Their Aquatic engineering talent is also of note, with popular vehicles such as the Seawolf and Minotaur Suit being in use throughout the sector.
