== Overview ==

The Tajara (direct plural: Tajara – Tah-jaw-rah both singular and multiple) (adjective: Tajaran - Tah-jaw-ran) are a race of humanoids that possess markedly felinoid traits that include a semi-prehensile tail, a body covered in fur of varying shades, and padded, digitigrade feet. Tajaran history and society is deeply entrenched in the conflict between its caste system and ruling governments. The species currently finds itself involved in a cold war between the three powers that control its homeworld, Adhomai.

==Heads of Staff==
Since the end of the First Revolution, Tajara have proven themselves to be capable workers to the megacorporations of the galaxy. In the years since, some of these Tajara demonstrated competent leadership and were hired into various command positions in their company of choice. To be a Tajaran head of staff in a human- and skrell-dominated space is to have dozens of eyes on you at once. Oftentimes, these Tajara face heavier criticism, are given lower wages and fewer benefits, and still face discrimination from their peers. Severe pressure is put onto them to meet a degree of excellence higher than what would be expected for a human. The vast majority of Tajaran heads of staff, especially within NanoTrasen, remain PRA citizens. Due to their close ties to NT and being of higher diplomatic standing, megacorporations prefer to promote Republican citizens over their counterparts. The NKA opening their doors to interested companies following the armistice has made it easier for their supporters to be promoted or re-promoted; however, these types are rare. The NKA’s technological backwardness is viewed as a major detriment for leadership roles and is a given reason for why a citizen would be passed over. The DPRA’s citizens, unsurprisingly, are incredibly unpopular for a promotion choice. The nation’s xenophobic and anti-corporate attitude is well known to megacorporations, so any citizen of the DPRA who manages to become promoted is subject to yearly interviews and background checks. Any sign of a connection to radical elements means a demotion, if not a firing.

To date, there is yet to be any Tajara in a meaningful place of power within a megacorporation.

Hharar and Njarir’Akhran can be the following Heads of Staff:

* Head of Security
* Chief Medical Officer
* Head of Personnel
* Research Director
* Chief Engineer
* Consular Officer
* NanoTrasen Corporate Liason

M'sai can be the following Heads of Staff:
* Head of Security

* All Tajara have claws and scratch with them instead of punching, dealing extra damage.
* Tajara are faster but take extra brute damage.
* Tajara can see much better in the dark than humans. This is possible by using a verb in-game, but that makes them vulnerable to flashes.
* Tajara are less vulnerable to harm from the cold due to their fur but more vulnerable to harm from heat.
* Tajara cannot use human gloves or shoes due to their claws and digitigrade limbs. They are only able to wear voidsuits and voidsuits helmets designed/modified for their Tajaran anatomy. They are able to wear 'softsuits' (such as regular space suits, biosuits, and fire suits).
* Tajara have a higher nutrition and hydration threshold and process reagents slightly slower.
* Tajara have a set of organs adapted to the life on Adhomai, with some differences in regard to function and form.
* Due to a long history of combined selective breeding and cultural factors, different Tajaran races have different physical qualities and attributes as well as levels of education. Visit the physiology sections of the [[Tajaran Ethnicities]] page for information about their differences.

== Biology ==
To the average human, the Tajara share many similarities with Earth's felines; however, when looked at from a purely scientific perspective, this description is largely superficial. Unlike terrestrial felines, the Tajara are both omnivorous and bipedal. Their bodies are almost entirely covered in a thick coat of fur that is extremely good at insulating them from the extreme cold of Adhomai. The layer of body fat and fur is designed to trap body heat efficiently. There are only a handful of areas where fur is not present, those being on the palm of their hands, the soles of their feet, and a number of various orifices as well as a small area around their eyes.

Occasionally, the fur around a Tajara's neck is known to grow into a shaggy 'mane' of sorts, giving them a distinct look not unlike a terran lion. This hair tends to be much stronger and a great deal wirier than the rest of the fur on a Tajara's body. Some Tajara tend towards monochromatic bodies while others have multicolor or even calico fur patterns. These designs depend heavily on the genetics of the individual's parents, much like hair and eye color. Because of this, some parents are utterly incapable of producing multicolor children. Designs including flat colors, stripes, spots, and most conceivable combinations have been recorded by scientists both Tajaran and human. A male Tajara is somewhere between 150 cm and 185 cm in height, while the mean body mass is between 65 kg and 100 kg. Females tend to range between 150 cm and 175 cm in height, with their own weight somewhere around 45 kg to 85kg. As such, both their body weight and height is roughly comparable to the average human. Height depends on a Tajara's ethnicity. Njarir'akhran were bred to be taller, M'sai are a more middle height, Hharar are typically shorter or of middle height, and Zhan-Khazan are usually the tallest of the races. Any Tajara who falls out of this range are unusually tall or short which typically stems from a medical condition. A Tajaran fetus only takes six months to mature, and Tajaran children likewise mature rapidly, reaching the full extent of their growth by 15 or 16. This rapid maturation has a profound effect on the lifespan of Tajara, as only with modern medicine have Tajara reached ages above 70, with the oldest living Tajara being 84 years old. Most Tajara retire at age 60 when they are too old to work in any capacity.

===Ethnicities===
There are four races of Tajara: the Hharar, the Zhan-Khazan, the Njarir’Akhran, and the M'sai. Each race has a common role which they play in a society which their biological inclinations make them more suited for, as well as their own cultures which have formed from long histories of performing these roles in society. Tajara heavily stereotype each other based on race which is often a cause for conflict. As a result of these differences, there is a lot of racial tension between these various types of Tajara which was further exacerbated by differences in socioeconomic classes.

'''Hharar:''' the first Tajaran ethnicity that Humanity came in contact with is generally viewed as the 'typical Tajara', which is reinforced by their numerical superiority over the other groups. Additionally, given their large numbers and capabilities, they most often serve in governmental positions and as ambassadors to other races; this leads to them being taken as the 'face' of the Tajaran race, as it were. Hharar trend towards being the most intellectual of all Tajaran groups, and as such their physical prowess is significantly reduced. The Hharar are the stereotypical 'worker' Tajara, commonly described as loyal employees who are passionate and not afraid to voice their opinions.

'''Zhan-Khazan:''' the second most populous of Tajaran ethnicities, and are considered to be the backbone of the Tajaran workforce. Because of their history of hard work and the way they adapted to harsh mountain life, Zhan-Khazan are more physically intimidating than other Tajara. Featuring more toned, muscular bodies, thicker fur coats, and heavier bodyweight, they are well-suited to tasks requiring brute strength and heavy lifting. Due to their status as laborer they suffer discrimination and are usually regarded as less intelligent.

'''M'sai:''' the third most populous Tajaran ethnic group, the M'sai were at one point the hunters for ancient Tajara and evolved to have lithe, slender forms, and light fur that hid them in the blizzards on Adhomai. As Tajaran society advanced, M'sai could be found in many roles related to combat, including law enforcement and military service. They are very loyal to their friends and family but aren't as overt about it as the Zhan-Khazan. With wide eyes and acute senses, they make great soldiers, with vision adapted to compensation for the heavy blizzards that plague their home planet. They are also great survivalists and are capable of scrounging food for themselves via hunting.

'''Njarir’Akhran:''' the ethnic group that made up the majority of the plutocracy before the Great War. Their lineage can be traced from careful breeding between Hharar and M'sai, leading to where they currently are today. Following recent events on Adhomai, Njarir make up less than ten percent of the population. Easily identifiable by their large ears, fluffy tails, luxurious fur, and slender, elegant features. Njarir suffer persecution and rejection from certain proponents of Tajaran society because of their bloodline. As the most learned of all Tajaran ethnic groups, they boast high intelligence and have a propensity towards the arts and sciences.

===Tajaran Evolution===
The Tajara evolved as a predatory species upon their home planet of Adhomai, and as a result, they have a pair of fairly large, well-developed eyes that are forward set. These eyes are comparable to those of humans, but they are more effective in low-light situations due to the Tajaran ancestors having to hunt in dark cave tunnels. Tajaran eyes are set above a slightly elongated structure comprised of hard bone similar to a muzzle on terrestrial creatures. Their pupils are large and capable of contracting significantly faster than most other creatures, both sapient and otherwise. This allows for a considerable degree of low light vision, however, they have a thin reflective layer that has the side-effect of appearing illuminated in the dark.

The Tajaran dental structure was at one point in their evolutionary history once geared for a carnivorous lifestyle but has since evolved and shifted towards a more omnivorous role. Tajara have sharp, needle-like teeth in the front of their jaw which is quite clearly geared to tear meat; the further along the jawline one goes, teeth similar to human molars reside behind the sharp canines, evidence of the change to an omnivorous diet. Evolutionary biologists believe that predecessors to modern Tajara had rough tongues with few taste buds to facilitate eating raw meat. The contemporary species has evolved out of this a long time ago in conjunction with becoming omnivorous, and so they now have softer tongues with a full sense of taste. Atop their heads, Tajara have a pair of deft, normally erect ears that are capable of a wide range of motion. They can rotate to roughly ninety degrees, capable of even being able to fold back almost entirely onto the skull if needed.

===Extremities and Sleep Cycle===
Tajaran extremities, specifically their hands and feet have five digits and are generally the same shape as human extremities. However, they are slightly stubbier in appearance, though still dexterous enough to be useful. Tajara employed in more professional roles such as engineers, architects, or other occupations that require dexterous manipulation often find themselves with filed down claws, reduced to a smooth end to allow easy usage of standard human-based technology. This is a task that Tajara tend to do reluctantly, given that cutting too short is incredibly painful and will expose nerves to the air. Normally, these claws are non-retractable and grow from the fingertips, usually measuring around 1-2 centimeters.
[[File:Cats.png|400px|thumb|right|An artist sketch of Tajaran dimorphism, builds, and general stance.]]
The sleep cycles of the Tajaran species are one of their most scientifically curious features. A normal waking period is somewhere between thirty-six and forty-eight hours, with a subsequent twenty to twenty-eight hours of sleep. Normally, the waking period is spotted with three to four fifteen-minute naps to keep the Tajara refreshed and alert. This is universal in all worlds with Tajaran living upon them. Tajara are capable of great feats of intelligent, dedicated work but this is physically exhausting, which renders them utterly mentally and psychologically exhausted. Those that do not enter their sleep cycle properly may find themselves groggy, aggressive, paranoid, and disoriented until their circadian rhythm is righted.

===Tajaran Build===
Compared to most other known species, the Tajaran body is designed to be more flexible, lithe, and slender despite its thick insulation. A handful of Tajaran ethnicities do not exhibit these traits and instead manifest increased muscle size, strength, or bulk. Tajara are sexually dimorphic; females have more elongated muzzles, shorter ears, and more petite forms. Their distribution of body fat is entirely different from that of a male. Females do not exhibit visible breasts until pregnancy, at which point they swell in order to provide for the young. Males are in general taller, have broader shoulders, bigger hands and feet, and more pointed ears.

Tajara are built for extremely low-temperature environments that are incredibly common on Adhomai, giving them remarkable cold resistance. However, this gives them a tendency to overheat in more mild environments. To avoid this, most Tajara dress lightly in warmer environments such as those on human installations or tropical worlds. Forgoing the usual layer-like clothing, these Tajara resign themselves to thin clothing. Those who find themselves confined to bio-suit or radiation suit for extended periods of time end up feeling extremely uncomfortable.

==History==

===Nobility and the Ancient Past===

For as long as Tajara care to remember, Adhomai had always been under the rule of the nobility. The oldest historical text that exists in Tajaran possession dates back at least three thousand years and talks about the presence of nobles. Many historians agree that the trend of blood rule is more deeply-rooted in Tajaran existence than was before considered.

The ancient past of the Tajara is poorly documented and historical texts are rare; meticulous combing and destruction of educational material by millennia of harsh rule resulted in total atrophy of most scientific arts in Tajaran society. Little is known about Tajara civilization before '''1500 BCE''' Galactic Standard Time.

The earliest form of government were local monarchies supported by religious authorities; the ruler and their families were considered of divine origin. Most of the settlements were similar to rural fiefs, with the population working for those dynasties in trade of their protection. Urban centers started to appear around places of worship. Peasants had little to no rights, and all dissidence was met harshly and fatally at the hands of the Nobles' Enforcers - trained agents (commonly of M'sai descent) who fought for the nobility of Adhomai in exchange for relative freedom. These Tajaran enforcers kept the peasants of Adhomai's lands repressed and powerless through shock and terror.

What is known for sure, however, is that tension and violence had slowly been increasing over hundreds of years between the populace and their fellow noble families.

===Tensions Rise===

Tajara historians believe that global violence spilled out across the planet between the kingdoms and the other scattered noble families in '''80 CE'''. Those states clashed and either pitted their followers against one another. The noble leaders continued to fight and inter-marry until the ruling families had become exclusively '''Njarir’Akhran'''. Over time, the nobility as it slowly began to lose their religious inclination, adopting more traditional civil institutions and a relaxation of the church's control which gave way to state control. Religious worship of the noble families had been dropping steadily in conjunction with the lower influence they had upon the other nobility. It was this period that historians believe the overwhelming control of the noble families flourished and solidified into what it was prior to human contact.

Even with technological and governmental advances, the Adhomian society was stuck with its old feudal system. The tension between nobility and the peasantry increased due to new burdens brought by military campaigns. The first writings against the serfdom and caste systems started to appear around '''1732 CE''', with those early revolutionaries being dealt with violence by M’sai enforcers. Draconian laws and sanctions were introduced against those that defied the status quo. Relations between the ruling class and commoners were precarious, believed to have stemmed from harsh rulers and laws. Technological and cultural knowledge and breakthroughs had begun to trickle down from the noble families to the peasantry. The invention of the printing press in '''1756 CE''' favored the spread of anti-monarchist pamphlets. Owning a copy of an unapproved text was a capital crime.

Adhomai underwent a form of industrialization with the creation and proliferation of the steam engine in '''1954 CE'''. However, this only forced the Adhomai peasants into harsh new labors digging in mines and working 18 hour days building rail lines for private use by the Njarir’Akhran nobility. Laws were soon enacted that banned any non-Njarir’Akhran from utilizing electricity or riding on trains. This trend of noble's hoarding new technology or innovations at the expense of the peasants continued until human contact.

Thirty years prior to the human discovery of Adhomai, the deep-seated mistrust between peasants and nobles had reached an all-time high. The Tajaran species was trapped in a technological bubble forced upon them by their nobility. At the height of their industrial revolution only a few years prior, the leadership at the time became increasingly wary of the unification of many Tajaran workers who demanded greater rights. The realms of education, science, and luxury found themselves under severe restrictions, and your basic Tajara was forced into almost twenty-hour workdays with the minimal time afforded for eating and sleeping on the job. Analysis of the noble houses proves that during this time in Tajaran history, the nobility had never been worth more in Sol credits than previously. This is largely attributed to the fact that rather than modernizing Adhomai the nobility had seen fit to confiscate and use these fruits of scientific thinking for themselves.

Automobiles are considered one of the best examples of this. The first automobile is recorded to have been created in '''2292 CE'''. Using a combustion engine much like primitive human vehicles, with extra anti-freezing measures and thick treads, one of the first fully functional automated cars had been produced by a collection of Tajaran engineers and scientists, at the behest of the nobility. These large creations were considered by many older Tajara to be a symbol of negligence and gluttony by their leaders. Workers were never provided with such things; they were forced to transport themselves through Adhomai's harsh winter conditions on foot or by using specially designed 'snow bicycles', regardless of how far away their place of work was.

Further restricting the rights of the individual Tajara was enacted by a furious nobility after several instances of violence against Njarir’Akhran, but specific information on these incidents has been lost. Legislation was introduced against 'workers unions' as well as any sort of illicit groups; a permit was required to form anything from hunting parties to agencies. In this whirlwind of political turmoil, a fresh generation of Tajara were growing up, deprived of what most humans consider to be 'basic rights'. As they grew older and angrier, the nobility saw fit to continue tightening their control over their subjects until a civil war was almost inevitable. Like a powder keg ready to blow, only a single spark was needed to light the flame.

===Human Discovery===
This came in the form of human discovery in '''2418 CE'''. A Sol Alliance funded expedition into the Tajaran home system discovered the pre-space age species and their homeworld of Adhomai. Lush with untapped resources and potential workers, Adhomai was an attractive prospect for many human super corporations, especially NanoTrasen. Because of their slow technological progress, most of Adhomai's valuable minerals remained untapped by mining or drilling. Because of this, several megacorporations attempted to insert themselves into the dealings of Adhomai.

However, the nobility felt incredibly threatened by what they considered 'intrusions' by humanity and completely refused them diplomatic access to their planet. The Alliance stepped in, initially unwilling to interfere in a pre-space age society and, reluctantly, the super corporations were forced to abandon their wishes to stake claims on Adhomai's resources - at least in the open. In the year '''2420 CE''', a group of Tajaran intellectuals - considered rebels by the state - were shuttled off-world by a still unknown entity. Given asylum in the Sol Alliance, they met and discussed much with human scientists and officials. Tensions between the Alliance and Tajaran nobility rose after such an event and they accused the humans of harboring terrorists.

Eventually, these rebels were returned to Adhomai with supplies and weapons. Fed with new ideals of personal freedom and 'rights afforded to all' by their influential human friends, the seeds of revolution were sowed among the Tajaran populace, spread by word of mouth. Workers, doctors, teachers, even soldiers who were questionably loyal to the nobility were swayed by these promises of freedom and equality. Meetings in the basements of dark taverns or barns were common, and relations between the nobility and their peasants were at the lowest ever recorded in Tajaran history.

===The Uprisings===

It took little more than a year for a formal uprising to be staged. In '''2421 CE''', after the nobility had captured one of the original Tajara that had been shuttled off-world, he was sentenced to be publicly hanged by the neck in front of their peasants to show just how serious they were about keeping control. Ultimately, many historians believe this to be a highly egregious mistake. Rebels in the audience, armed with advanced off-world weapons, proceeded to open fire on loyalist forces and kill a nobleman in the process. This event, called the '''D'as'ral Massacre''' (so named for the city it took place in) by the nobility was all the excuse they needed to enact martial law.

[[File:Adhomai2.png|thumb|alt=The Tajaran homeworld.|Adhomai was ravaged by warfare and more than forty million deaths have been recorded as a result of the Great War.]]

However, they found themselves in a cornered position. Weapons and supplies were being shipped in off-world by mysterious benefactors, and their collections of scientists and engineers had either fled to safety being noblemen themselves or took up arms and joined the revolution. Without significant scientific presence to deconstruct or understand these new human weapons or support the war effort, the conflict resulted in a string of rebel victories drawing closer and closer to the capital cities of each kingdom. Fighting was extremely fierce and atrocities were recorded by both sides.

Among the noble families, the largest and nearly the most powerful was a dynasty called the 'Hadii'. Their castle was amongst the best defended in the region and the battle to take it was waged for six months of non-stop fighting. As it became increasingly clear to them that they were eventually going to be overrun, the Hadii struck a deal with the rebel leader; in return for complete immunity from the war, as well as persecution, they afforded the revolutionaries with unique tools and even blueprints of other families' castles, pointing out weak points and infiltration spots.

This turn coating tipped the revolution in favor of the rebels. Armed with this new information, they made use of radio systems previously restricted for nobility to methodically and ruthlessly end their uprising by murdering most of the noble families, and whatever soldiers and civilians remained loyal to them. By '''2431 CE''' the revolution had finally come to an end with a total of more than '''92 million casualties''' with more than half being loyalist forces and '''40 million civilian deaths'''. Many Tajaran cities and villages were utterly destroyed by vicious fighting as well as bombardment by uncaring nobles. An informal ceasefire was declared between the factions, though skirmishes were still common.

===Outcome of the Revolution===

Following this total upheaval of Tajaran society, rebel leaders met with Hadii noblemen and discussed how to form a government, given that only the Hadii were experienced with the ruling. Human corporations took an express interest in this; the Hadii were one of the few noble families who saw profit in human stakes on Adhomai, and many back-room deals were made until ultimately the Hadii were placed at the head of Tajaran government in '''2432 CE''', and ushered in a new federal republic: '''The People's Republic of Adhomai'''. The Tajaran public was markedly distressed by this turn of the events, and fearing another uprising, human intervention again helped defuse the situation. The Hadii promised that it would not be like it was before.

NanoTrasen, suspected by many conspiracy theorists to be behind the funding and supplying of Tajara during the war, holds claim to most of Adhomai and has a monopoly over most of the planet's valuables. Collaboration between them, the Sol Alliance, and the Jargon Federation have resulted in more technological advances in Tajaran society recently than ever before in their recorded history. Approval ratings for the current leadership rose in response.

However, serious problems remained. '''Rhagrrhuzau Hadii''' suddenly began to back out of the People's Republic's agreed-upon business deals with NanoTrasen, all of which saw a massive amount of Tajaran natural resources exported. Citing humanity as greedy and destructive, '''Rhagrrhuzau Hadii''' made clear his intentions to make Adhomai independent until it was ready to take on the burden of interstellar politics.

===The Second Revolution===

The disagreements and hatred of the Hadii republican government had led to insurrection and treachery between Adhomai's major power figures since '''Rhagrrhuzau Hadii''''s new economic policies were revealed. Many Tajaran business contractors - just recently denied their ability to sell ludicrous amounts of natural resources and workers to the massive human megacorporation, NanoTrasen - felt threatened by the reforms of the Hadii government and its first President, '''Rhagrrhuzau Hadii'''. In '''2451 CE''', during a military parade, President Rhagrrhuzau was assassinated by '''Tufir Nazzirai'''. A known secret service agent of the People's Republic, the radical was swiftly sentenced to death for his treachery, claimed to be brought on by the violent tendencies of his Zhan-Khazan genetics. His brother and vice-president '''Njadrasanukii Hadii''' quickly assumed the office of the presidency and immediately passed brutal laws that punished the Zhan-Khazan and 'subversive elements'. NanoTrasen was invited back to Adhomai and menial workers were sold en masse to NanoTrasen workplaces while the rights to the bountiful natural resources of Adhomai were sold off to NanoTrasen. Public hangings and firing squads became the norm once again.
[[File:Godblessalmarihadii.png|thumb|400px|left|Picture taken by the Adhomai Chronicle moments before the Assassination of Rhagrrhuzau Al'Mari Hadii. The single most defining moment of this generation of Tajara.]]

Many military generals who had fought for the Republic soon defected under the banner of the Adhomai Liberation Army, the leader of which being '''Rhagrrhuzau Hadii''''s old friend and ally, '''Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan''', and Adhomai found itself embroiled in yet another global conflict. "His gun was on stun" became the rallying cry of Rhagrrhuzau's fiercest supporters, "Hadiists," as they alluded to how he not only left himself greatly vulnerable during the parade, but had even left his energy pistol on stun while he was assassinated.

===Adhomai Today===

The Tajaran home world has suffered plenty in the three decades since the end of the First Revolution. With the sudden injection of advanced technology into their relatively simple life, the discrepancy between modernized cities and outlying areas could not be more obvious. While the Tajaran capital boasts the most modern developments with sleek skyscrapers, advanced connections, and phone lines, as well as hospitals and schools, the further you get from the larger cities, the more apparent it is that things are not quite so flashy. Expanding infrastructure remains difficult, as most public funds are seized for use by the military or used to repair infrastructure damaged by shelling or bombings.

There is a steady stream of money being fed into the People's Republic of Adhomai. NanoTrasen, as per its agreement with the president, has set up mining and logging operations on Adhomai using the local workforce for the most menial of tasks. In return, company-funded clinics and schools are slowly being spread out and built in needy areas.

Literacy has risen to its all-time high on Adhomai, and with the assistance of the Alliance, teachers have been brought in from off-world to educate the younger generation of Tajara. However, this number has begun to decline as the dangers of working on Adhomai are beginning to become common knowledge. Special establishments for older students have also been constructed to assist the elder generation into being brought to the same level of education, but NanoTrasen has not expressed significant interest in this; these people make up the brunt of their low-paid workforce and they want to ensure they are kept this way.

The second revolution came to an end in 2461, after a decade of warfare between the three factions. The People's Republic of Adhomai was driven off from many of its past territories, having to rely on the help of a coalition of allied states and mercenaries to stop the enemy offensive. After months of bloody defenses, guerrillas attacks, and complete stagnation of all fronts, a ceasefire was signed with the support of Tau Ceti and Jargon. An armistice, known as the '''Armistice of Shastar''', was signed by the three factions shortly after. With the recognition of the Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai and the New Kingdom of Adhomai by the galactic community and the enforced peace, the three Tajaran powers are eager to compete with each other for supremacy through a cold war.

One of the clauses of the Armistice of Shastar was the creation of the Tajaran Citizenship Act; a legal provision allowing DPRA and NKA citizens to legalize their citizenship situation, forfeiting their previous PRA affiliation. Tajara living outside of S'rand'marr were able to request the transfer through the proper diplomatic services. Following rising tensions and incidents between the Adhomian factions, this agreement came to an end in 2462.

The Tajara species is now undergoing a cold war between the three factions. This period is marked by nuclear arms races, proxy conflicts, and subterfuge.

==Tajaran Factions==

Adhomai is controlled by three factions, who once participated in a civil war for the control of the planet and are now engaged in a cold war.

===[[File:PRA_Flag.png|30px]] [[People's Republic of Adhomai]] ===

Led by [[Notable Tajara#President Njadrasanukii Hadii|President Njadrasanukii Hadii]], the '''People's Republic of Adhomai''' is the global state that emerged from the First Revolution. Before the Second Civil war, it enjoyed galactic recognition as the sole government of Adhomai. It claims to be the true keeper of Al'mari’s legacy. However, the PRA can be described as a Hadiist branch of Al’mari’s revolutionary ideology - that means putting the State at the top of a hierarchy of power. The PRA is a very centralized state, but in recent years has slowly been able to start making true its promises to bring revolution to the masses. With land reform, the enfranchisement of women and peasantry, literacy initiatives, and the collectivization of farms and the means of production, the PRA is struggling to hold true to its radical ideals while an entrenched upper party stubbornly tries to hold onto power.

The Hadiist rule is marked by a lack of privacy, enthusiastic police, and pervasive secret police that leave privacy a nebulous concept to most Tajara. During the height of the war, anyone suspected of supporting traitors or publicizing media critical of the Hadii faced harsh retribution, but these practices are becoming less pervasive as wartime zealotry fades. Life under the government, while not free, is often stable and safe. Under the Republic, Tajara have more opportunities than they have had historically, with the Party investing heavily in its people. NanoTrasen continues to throw out large nets and bring in hundreds or even thousands of Tajara new employment opportunities in the galaxy as well as selling designs for ships and other space-faring aircraft to the People's Republic's Military. NanoTrasen is also accused of being very exploitative of Tajara laborers, but for many Tajara the company is their path to the adventure of the wider galaxy.

After the Second Revolution, the People's Republic lost the hegemony over Adhomai. The Hadiist state is now focused on preparing itself for a future reunification war. Large public works, research efforts, and military expansions are underway. As President Hadii grows old, the power struggle between his possible successors intensifies. Each possible heir now works to build their own support base without openly challenging the President or attracting too much attention to their plans.

===[[File:DiamondALA.png|30px]] Adhomai Liberation Army | [[Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai]] ===

The most pervasive and successful rebellion came from a group calling themselves the '''Adhomai Liberation Army''', a group made up of Tajara from almost every walk of life. This organization opposed corporate claims on Tajaran soil and denounced the mismatched development and governmental negligence as the fault of humanity. During the height of the war, settlements liberated by the Liberation Army were ruled by a military junta. Being a supporter of the Hadiist government, or having been a collaborator, was grounds for immediate execution by firing squad. Villages often found their supplies seized by Liberation forces for the war effort, and the whole movement was a massive, tenacious military dictatorship under the absolute authority of [[Notable Tajara#Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan|Supreme Commander Halkiikir Na'ted'Akhan]].

Following the release of their updated 2459 manifesto, the various regional civilian governments formed under their rule coalesced into the '''Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai'''. Authority is still highly decentralized. In January of 2461, a contested election saw [[Notable Tajara#President Almrah Harrlala|Almrah Harrlala]] become president Contested by the military, the so-called Nated Supremacist Movement launched a putsch that was ultimately foiled by Nated himself, who appealed for the return of civilian government and then resigned his command.

The DPRA is now led by President Almrah Harrlala who is struggling to transition what was once a militant insurgency movement into a modern, democratic nation. The government attempts to negotiate with ruling Juntas to voluntarily turn over power to the civilian administration, many of which still refuse. The DPRA does, for the most part, try to respect the basic rights of Tajara. Most Tajara under civilian rule do not need to worry about the secret police or being framed for a crime of civil disobedience. With the Armistice, the DPRA gained intergalactic recognition as one of the Tajaran states. In more recent times, DPRA citizens are being sponsored by Harrlala's government to go out into the galaxy openly and show what Tajara can achieve on their own terms without being puppets of human megacorporations. As President Harrlala's term comes close to its end and the next election is being organized, the fragile Al'mariist democracy is threatened by all kinds of extremists.

===[[File:New Kingdom of Adhomai.png|30px]] [[New Kingdom of Adhomai]]===
The last major faction is the rebellious '''New Kingdom of Adhomai''', which seceded and declared itself a nation in 2450. The New Kingdom is ruled by a Njarir'Akhran noble line that survived the First Revolution by hiding, owing to the efforts of their supporters. Founded by [[Notable Tajara#King Vahzirthaamro Azunja|King Vahzirthaamro Azunja]] specifically, he denounced both other factions in the civil war as illegitimate and himself as the only rightful ruler of Adhomai. Supporters of the New Kingdom tend to be rare outside lands it controls. However, they believe strongly that the People's Republic was founded on genocide and unspeakable slaughters. The only way to return Adhomai to peace and prosperity is to learn from the mistakes of the ancient nobles and revolutionaries; constitutional monarchy is necessary to prevent abuses of power.

During the war, the New Kingdom faced shortages of all kinds of goods. Both commoners and nobles were stuck in crippling debt and poverty. The support for the war quickly diminished as the conflict dragged on. While the New Kingdom was able to reconquer its original lands and other territories, it failed to defeat the PRA and DPRA. The final years of King Azunja's rule were marked by political turmoil as the people requested further political recognition.

[[Notable Tajara#Queen Shumaila Azunja|Queen Shumaila Azunja]] rose to power after King Azunja died in 2463. She now faces a Kingdom in turmoil due to the changes brought by the Cold War. The economy prospers due to the end of the embargo and the presence of megacorporations. The income inequality between the nobles and commoners grows. Dissent movements also begin to appear as the people become more disillusioned with the Kingdom's realities. In the Parliament, infighting ensues as each faction tries to influence the Queen. The future for the NKA remains uncertain.

==Social==

Native Tajaran names are usually difficult for humans and other species to pronounce properly; as such, Tajara prefer to take names who they find they themselves can pronounce and are also phonetically pleasing.
For many, these are names derived from Arabic or Russian backgrounds, as they are the easiest for their inhuman mouths to pronounce.

Traditionally, Tajaran names included the name of the dynasty they served, and some Tajara carry over this tradition and have their 'middle' name be their dynasty's name. Other, less fortunate Tajara took up names that denoted their status in the community or aspirations for the convenience of others. This tradition is where the concept of taking up names originated from, thus a Tajara usually have a given child name and a taken up name, with perhaps the dynasty they have served as their middle name. This is different for the members of the PRA, as president Hadii issued a decree in which all Tajara are to change their names to their parent given names, to encourage party loyalty and pride of tradition. While most dedicated Hadiist have chosen to return to their native names, many Republican Tajara still use their adopted name within and outside of Adhomai.

As with all other species who work in Human-centric environments. Tajara are expected and required to have passed a prerequisite test to test their comprehension of Tau-Ceti basic, the operating language of NanoTrasen and most transstellar corporations, in addition to most major sovereign entities. Admittedly the passing levels of these comprehension tests are quite low, but are high enough to ensure basic conversation between what will likely be a multi-species crew. However, private communication in Siik’Mas or Siik’tajr is not forbidden by NanoTrasen regulations and is often used to hold conversations between Tajara on the crew.

Though there are a variety of languages used by the Tajara, among the foremost of this vast plethora of languages are Siik'mas and Siik'tajr.

'''Siik'maas''' is theorized to have been the ancient language of the Tajara, the 'religious' tongue shared between most Tajara from their onset as a species. Despite Tajaran society evolving to a point where religious devotion became less encouraged, the universal service language used in all churches and worship sessions became the lingua franca and almost every Tajara knows how to speak it. It has been taught as the primary educational language amongst most Tajaran ethnicities since the Migration Age and continues to be the most prevalent tongue on Adhomai since.

It is capable of being spoken by a learned human, as it is not as reliant on body language as Siik'tajr or the other native languages on Adhomai. However, just as Tau Ceti basic is difficult for Tajara to master given their muzzle structure, Siik'maas is the same to humans, since they lack the proper biology to perform certain inflections properly. Despite focusing more on spoken word than others, some of the vocabularies require subtle body movements that are challenging for humans to grasp, no less perform. Even if one were to learn these movements, they tend to be sluggish and slower, giving the speech a sort of 'drunken' feeling. Tajara speaking this over the radio often find themselves in similar positions.

Siik'maas is the federal language of the People's Republic of Adhomai. However, several groups of Tajara ranging from scholars to traditional followers of the old ways are attempting to revive older languages such as Nal'rasan, Delvahhi, Ya'ssa, and other such languages.

'''Siik’tajr''' is the opposite of Siik’mas completely. A recent construction, it has seen more use recently following the overthrowing of the plutocracy. It was birthed from the necessity for a language that was difficult for law enforcers to understand, enabling revolutionaries to converse privately without having their conversations monitored or overheard. Revolutionary radicals have been a part of Adhomai's history for a long while, but were always small; however, when the Great War broke out, Siik'tajr saw widespread use by rebel forces during military operations similar to Navajo radio operators. It is a combination of Siik'mas and the more body language inclined Nal'rasan, a tongue traditionally used by hunters. It is not normally used in daily life due to its complexity, it is often maintained as a secondary language, especially for families who fought in the Great War.

Pro-human groups within Tajaran society have repeatedly attempted to push Cyrillic or Latin alphabets as 'easier to use' rather than the native Tajaran alphabet. However, the vast majority of Tajara use the old Siik alphabet and it is the federally enforced alphabet taught in schools, the original alphabet learned Tajara have been using for centuries. It has undergone certain modifications since the Great War to remove the influence of the plutocracy and has made a widespread comeback with increasing literary levels among the Tajaran public.

Tajara have a strong biological inclination to roll the "R" sound, extending it. Because of cultural reasons and the grammatical structure of their languages, they also tend to refer to themselves in the third person perspective instead of the traditional first-person ("He has completed his work" instead of "I have completed my work") though Tajara who have spent a large amount of their lives in space or among other species can overcome this trait with great difficulty. Traditional-minded Tajara usually choose to continue using the third person in basic. Most Tajara only speak to someone in the first person if it is someone they trust substantially. The second person perspective is used in many regional dialects and does not imply any intimacy, however many Tajara prefer the third person even in these cases as a preference.

Because of their anatomy, Tajara are capable of using their appendages to express their emotions. Folding one’s ear back usually expresses fear or worry. Ears perked forward demonstrates interest or attention. Ears also flick involuntarily when exposed to unexpected or loud sounds. Swaying one’s tail continuously is considered a childish way to express satisfaction. Curving down and blistering is a sign of hostility. Bumping muzzles and holding someone’s wrist are common displays of affections.

===Religion===
====S'rand'marr Worship====
''"By day and light of S'Rendarr, we live and bask in his warmth, happy and content. By the warmth and light of Messa, we cease breath and fall to death. Only by the love and harmony of both the Twin Gods and Sibling Suns do we live happily, and die the same. By the Twin Gods and Sibling Suns, S'Rendarr and Messa, the faithful ask for your blessing, and to please extend it to the non-faithful who do no wrong, and cast no sin."''

- The "First Prayer" of S'rand'marr Worship

There are a handful of faiths on Adhomai, but the majority religion is the worship of S'rendarr and Messa, the names of both suns in the Tajaran home system. Ancient Tajara were believed to worship the suns as gods, believing their light to be the only thing keeping the planet from freezing over entirely. Over time, this faith matured into a system of beliefs suited to the peasantry; looking down upon the acts of betraying your fellow worker and attempting to foster unity and understanding amongst its followers. It is believed by many that S'rendarr is the god of life and the day, as the bigger of the two suns, and he is associated with good happenings and is most often prayed to. Contrastingly, Messa, the blue sun, is the goddess of the night and death; whenever she eclipses S'rendarr, all followers partake in religious rituals asking Messa to spare them from whatever ill tidings she may bring. The worship of the sun gods is dominated by an organization called the Parivara, meaning, the "Family." The head of the Parivara is Father Valyan K'rrirran who is based out of Sana Sahira, a holy city on the tallest mountain on Adhomai which roughly translates into the City of the Suns.

Sana Sahira's location in the People's Republic places the Parivara in the precarious position of having to act favorably to the faction's government, however, Father Valyan K'rrirran attempts to stay out of politics in order to avoid alienating any worshipers across borders. The Father of the Parivara is chosen by the Brothers of the Suns who serve as the priests and clergy of the faith. Devoted women of the faith can become Suns' Sisters, who take a vow of silence, like the Gods themselves, and live in the temples devoted to the worship, tending to them in any way needed, anything from cleaning to heavy manual labor repairing and replacing glass or furniture, to healing the Brothers, patrons and other Suns' Sisters. To cause harm to a Suns' Sister is said to be one of the most unholy things you can do in a place of worship, as they're meant to emulate the Gods themselves, silent, but strong and dependable.

====Ma'ta'ke====
The second-largest religion is the worship of the Mata'ke and his cohort companion gods, which dates back to ancient Tajaran times. A figure of legend, Mata'ke is believed to have been the head of a hardy tribe of mountain dwellers who regularly came to the aid of other tribes constantly plagued by bandits and wild animals. He was revered as a fierce warrior capable of fighting a platoon of men by himself, but also as a kind soul for the records of his dealings with other tribes shows understanding and kindness. He is upheld to be the ultimate Tajara- powerful, wise, and magnanimous. Followers of Mata'ke himself endeavor to emulate his grandeur, while others attempt to emulate the other gods.

In Tajaran mythology, the tribe of Mata'ke rose to the status of gods when they slew the King of the Rrak'narrr, who was also the lord and master of all Adhomai. Upon killing him, the various tribesmen all absorbed different aspects of its many powers, each becoming immortal. As the one who dealt the killing blow, and at the will of the dying Rrak'narrr's final wishes, Mata'ke absorbed the majority of the powers and became lord and master of all Adhomai. The tribe then decided that their former settlement was not befitting of their powers, and instead established themselves in a city of wonders at the "Edge of Adhomai" where they fend off malicious entities and protects all Tajara.

====Njarir'Akhran Worship====
At one point, a religion was established heralding the nobility themselves as gods by certain devout loyalists, but this faith has all but been completely erased following the uprising. Individuals who were recorded to believe in or are suspected of being a member undergo persecution and even in some cases death sentences. With most loyalists either in hiding or killed during the uprising, and all places of worship destroyed, any intelligent Tajara would never admit to being or attempt to defend, a member of this faith.

==Culture==

=== Fashion ===

Throughout Tajaran history, fashion has remained relatively simple. Extravagant vestments fabricated from silk and other high-quality animal hides were restricted exclusively to the nobility, and standard Tajaran peasantry had little time to choose their uniforms, usually donning overcoats made of rough fabric and patches of animal hide. The fluffier the design was, the wealthier a tajara was considered.

Given the hardships of Tajaran life and the constant need to do work by hand, the peasantry came to favor practical, well-insulated clothing rather than fanciful designs; they were also cheaper to weave, which made things easier on the weaver. Underwear usually came in the form of long-sleeved pants and a shirt typically woven from thick animal furs and plant fibers and is used as the innermost insulating layer. Then, a Tajara would overlay multiple garments to create several layers of insulation to stop the loss of body heat. Thick, full-length skirts, pants, and shirts were favored by the peasantry, all in dark colors to retain heat better. Typically pre-discovery and even post-discovery modern clothing consist of thermal underwear, pants for men or long, heavy skirts for women, with thick sweater-like shirts and fur cloaks.

The feared enforcers of the nobility wore great suits of armor designed to seal the user inside, creating an environment completely isolated from the harsh snows of Adhomai. Build for brute strength rather than comfort, the helmets of these suits made no room for Tajaran ears. These 'Enforcer Shells', as translated from Siik'maas, were usually brown or olive in color, with slit visors masking the wearer's face, they were also remarkably flammable and largely abandoned during the initial stages of the first revolution.
[[File:Tajara dance .png|240px|thumb|right|Two tajara wearing traditional dresses during a musical performance.]]
Today, the Government Officials of the People's Republic of Adhomai are usually seen dressed in olive military fatigues, occasionally donning a commissar-styled cap. These caps are usually styled with small rosettes to signify authority. When in especially cold weather, officials usually layer on black trench coats and scarves rather than wearing the outfits of the lower class.

The lower and middle class of the Tajara are better heated by proxy, and can comfortably wear flat caps and long-sleeved buttoned shirts for warmth when working in their factories rather than excessive garbs. When outside, typical Tajara wear bomber jackets or fur coats with additional fur padding on the interior to better trap heat, paired with traditional slacks. Headwear for these working-class citizens usually comes in the form of full head scarves to keep ears warm when in the wilderness, and standard soft and flat caps within cities.

=== Cuisine ===
[[File:Taj food.png|240px|thumb|right|A common Tajara meal, hard bread, fish and vegetable soup, and Fatshouter beef.]]
Similarly, due to the cold temperatures of Adhomai, Tajara favor warming or hot food that can be consumed quickly before the freezing winds can cool the meal off. Porridges, soups, and chowders consisting of diced meat and vegetables for flavor was the usual meal of a working-class Tajara, coupled with some bread and water or ale. Pre-industrial Tajara used to have community meals around bonfires to keep their food from cooling off too much, and almost all of their food source came in the form of porridges and oats. However, with the introduction of new technologies - such as higher quality insulation and home heating systems - Tajaran cuisine is being experimented with by chefs who are no longer restricted to compensating for the naturally low temperatures of Adhomai. Historically, culinary creations were reserved only for the nobility, who had better-heated homes than the peasantry, and more leeway was offered towards not having your meat turn blue in front of you.

Traditional stews are made with diced vegetables, such as Nif-Berries, and meat, Snow Strider is commonly used by the rural population, while industrialized Fatshouters' beef is preferred by the city’s inhabitants. Tajaran bread is usually made with Blizzard Ears' and consumed during their morning meals.

Adhomian alcoholic beverages are made with fermented grains, fruits, or vegetables. Juices are commonly mixed with sugar or honey. Victory gin is the most widespread alcoholic drink in Adhomai, the result of the fermentation of honey extracted from Messa's tears, but its production and consumption are slowly declining due to the loss of the People's Republic's hegemony over Adhomai. Messa's mead is also another more traditional alternative; it is made with honey and fermented Earthen-Root juice.

Fishing and shellfish have a part in the diet of the population in the coastal areas, even if the ice can be an obstacle to most experienced fishermen. Spicy Ras'val clams, named after the sea, are a famous treat, being appreciated in other systems besides S'rand'marr.

====Notable Dishes====

*'''Adhomian Hard bread:''' a type of Tajaran bread, made from blizzard ears’ flour, water, and spice, basked in the shape of a loaf. It is known for its hard crust, bland taste, and being long-lasting. The hard bread was usually prepared for long journeys, hard winters, or military campaigns, due to its shelf life. Certain folk stories and jokes claim that such food could also be used as artillery ammunition or throw at besieging armies during sieges.

*'''Fatshouters Bloodpudding:''' a mixture of Fatshouters meat, offal, blood, and blizzard ears flour served in the shape of a flattened sausage. This recipe dates from the early Tajaran history, a favorite among the peasantry due to its simplicity and easily obtainable ingredients. It can be eaten during all meals and occasions.

*'''Sugar Tree Candy:''' a literal translation of the popular Adhomaian hard candy, found everywhere on the planet, from crystal plates in Crevus’ casinos to a bowl on a grandmother's table. Sugar candy is made from the Nm'shaan, and is a cheap, beloved treat for anyone on Adhomai to rot their teeth on. It's occasionally flavored with fruits or savory liquors.

*'''Avah:''' used to only mean "sweets" or "sweet thing," now singularly refers to a particular dessert. The batter is grilled and made into soft, spherical shapes, and then covered with fruit jams, sugar, or sweet cream cheese. These treats are often sold at festivals and celebrations, and foreigners compare them to pancakes.

====Notable Beverages====

*'''Messa's Mead:''' a fermented alcoholic drink made from earthen-root juice and Messa's tears leaves. It has a relatively low alcohol content and characteristic honey flavor. Messa's Mead is one of the most popular alcoholic drinks in Adhomai; it is consumed both during celebrations and daily meals. Any proper Adhomian bar has at least a keg or some bottles of the mead.

*'''Earthen-Root Juice:''' a juice made from the Earthen-Root. It is known for its blue color and sweetness. Because of its simplicity, Earthen-Root juice is one of Adhomai's most widely consumed drinks. Carbonated versions were created during the interwar period. However, the soft drink variation is not as popular as the traditional ones.

*'''Nm'shaan Liquor:''' an alcoholic drink manufactured from the fruit of the Nm'shaan plant. It usually has a high level of alcohol by volume. Nm'shaan liquor was once reserved for the consumption of the nobility; even today it is considered a decadent drink reserved for fancy occasions. It is commonly diluted with ice water before being consumed.

===The Arts===

Of all arts, music is one of the most highly valued by Tajara. Stemming from the long-standing ban on most literature in their society, song, and dance remained one of the only ways for Tajara to express themselves through words. Composers and musicians were traditionally held in high regard amongst Tajara, and in place of books, the fanciful song-stories of traveling bards were one of the few ways the public could remove themselves from their lives.

Theatre was also equally important in the life of a pre-discovery Tajara. Given that, with the lack of books, there was little to keep your usual worker entertained, the ability to watch and enjoy a riveting drama or hilarious comedy was heaven. Theatres and performing halls can be found in almost every Tajaran village, and are often constructed to rival even the main seat of the town council or government in architectural beauty. For example, the D'na'tel Hall in the Nal'tor was one and a quarter larger than the seat of government prior to human sanctioned expansions. Dating back to the late Gunpowder Era, it was constructed from high-quality marble and many sculptures of characters and scenes from various popular Tajaran plays were meticulously hand-carved into the walls by sculptor Nasir Ka'nira.

However, literature itself - that is to say novels - have never been looked kindly upon by the Tajara public. Though this closed way of thinking is starting to shift with the greater introduction of literacy amongst Tajara as a whole, many elders still harbor bitter feelings about books in general. They were almost universally considered a symbol of oppression and luxury by pre-revolution Tajara, given the fact that only the nobility was taught en masse how to read, and that every family had its own private expansive library from even learned peasants had to pay out of pocket to access. This led to widespread destruction of much of historical Tajara texts following the uprising, as revolutionaries took it upon themselves to purposely gather and burn whatever books they could after taking a noble stronghold.

===Music===

Tajaran music is modally based, with there being eight modes in total. A scale can be constructed from each Mode, which is the arpeggio of the mode. There are a total of four notes in one modal scale. Two are octave, and there are two in between. Microtones between the two notes in between are used frequently, which would sound very odd to human ears. This is done because Tajara perceives music as sadder with the flatter a pitch is, and happier with the sharper a pitch is. Depending on the mood of a song, a Tajara player may tune their instrument lower, to make the song sadder; the opposite is also true. A common tradition is to let the weather decide the tuning of an instrument. Cold weather naturally makes an instrument flatter, ergo colder weather makes songs sadder. And indeed, one may notice that if each note is perceived relative to the notes that come before it, there is always a happy and sad part integral to the song. This is on purpose, as it reflects the duality in sadness/happiness which is also found in S’rendarr and Messa. Some Tajara may also associate Dissonances to Raskara.

The eight modes are respectively named: Mrazur, Manur, Rrauor, Surour, Kaoel, Draeol, Aauol, Deor. They are associated with the main Ma’ta’ke deities: Mata’ke, Marryam, Rredouane, Shumaila, Kraszar, Dhrarmela, Azubarre, and The Dead Gods.

A side effect of the Tajaran caste system is the possibility for the ethnicities to usually have different possible ranges and timbres on their voice. Zhan-Khazan are commonly a Bass-Baritone voice. Hharar are Tenor-Alto. M’sai and Njarir are almost always Sopranos. The voice is the most universal Tajaran instrument. Due to traditional schooling, many children have at least basic singing skills, though this is fading away in the cities.

====Notable Folk Instrument====
[[File:Prrama.png|200px|thumb|right|The Pr'rrama.]]
*'''P'rrama:''' a plucked string instrument, with eight strings and four holes at its end. The holes on the bottom change the octave of the notes that are played, thus extending the range of the sounds. It is used both solo and with other instruments. Humans can play it, but the octave range is disabled due to a lack of a tail.

*'''Makkra Baq:''' this instrument hails from the island of Das'nrra, but it has long been a staple of Tajara everywhere. One plucks the strings, creating a meek and Harpsichord-like sound. It is almost always used in a solo or duet setting, as its small voice can easily be overshadowed by other instruments. In spite of this, it maintains quite a folky sound, and it is more common in rural areas than in cities.

*'''Mah Kii:''' the Mah Kii is an ancient instrument, used by Tajara since the Migration Period. Adapted from a horn used to rally soldiers, it has a strong divine connotation. Many believe that one hears its sound when entering the Holly Village or when joining Messa in the afterlife. Rhazar’Hrujmagh caravans still use this trumpet at the start of raids. Some have even attempted to incorporate it into Electro-Swing bands. However, due to its short-range and its connotation with the divine, it is not used often.

===Sports and Games===

Recreation time for most Tajara has always been limited. Oppressive work hours and strict caste rules disallowed leeway for what a Tajara could do in their free time. Organized sports were a product of the Njarir class, which would find themselves with more time in their hands. However, as time marched on, Tajara of lower classes found ways to still play. In modern times, any Tajara is usually able to participate in any sport they wish.

The notion of video games is unknown to natives on Adhomai; as computers are usually seen as tools. However, the younger generations living in Little Adhomai have taken interest in electronic games and arcades. Many independent productions have started to appear, with software being shared through the extranet or data storage devices. One popular title is “The Bane of Rashashana’: which follows the tale of an Adhomian folk hero attempting to save the Paspitami'rran from a malicious monarch. The player can make narrative choices that affect the story, interspersed with objectives such as running and managing a limited time meter while avoiding obstacles.

====Notable Sports====

*'''Farehal:''' a sport focused on accuracy. It consists of the player throwing a disc through several hoops scattered around a course. The distance and the difficulty of the shoot influence the score. The player with the highest point value wins. Due to the amount of space needed for Farehal, especially for multiple matches on the same course, due to this, it was only practiced by the nobility at first. Large buildings were constructed to host Farehal, where noble competitors played. This game is seen as extremely pretentious, with critics claiming it requires no real strength or skill to win. It has not seen much popularity outside of S'rand'marr, but it is moderately popular on Adhomai, with teams competing within their own countries. Al’mari Hadii used to be a famous Farehal player.

*'''Mahmrro:''' a sport requiring the Tajara to capture a ball and either run it to the opposite side of a field or throw it to a team member located on the other side of the field. This game is very popular among the youth of any Tajara generation, mostly with the lower class. It is very decentralized and has any number of regional rules depending on where you are. Traditionally, it is seen as a Hharar and Zhan pastime. M'sai playing this sport, even among themselves, is seen as taboo. It is unknown where this racial segregation stems from, but it is quite present even off of Adhomai.

*'''N'hanzafu Roping:''' a sport created by the [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Rhazar'Hrujmagh|rock nomads]], commonly used to settle disputes. Two or more riders can participate. Using Zhsram as their mount, they have to capture a N’hanzafu calf with a lasso and complete five rounds around a circular arena with it. Competitors are allowed to knock down each other or steal the other’s rope, but weapons are strictly forbidden.

====Notable Games====
[[File:Suns and moon rules.png|200px|thumb|right|Suns and Moon rules.]]
*'''Suns and Moon:''' a very common dice game. It is played by all, though the lower classes have the tendency to gamble whereas upper classes play it just for fun. The ease and universality of the rules have garnered it quite the reputation. Die usually has an image of Rredouane fixed upon them. Parks commonly have designated spots for people to play Suns and Moon. Disputes are also solved through this game.

*'''Traiaz:''' a game mixing intellectual and dexterity play. The board is similar to chess, though it is considerably longer, with a lot of extra space in the middle. All 10 pieces are essentially pawns, though each pair has a catch. Pieces are captured by moving through the horizontal on the board. Some pieces can only capture when moving diagonally, vertically, or sideways. There are several distinct regional rules influencing what kind of movements are allowed. A match is decided after all pieces have been eliminated.

=== Military ===

The military hardware of the Tajaran nation is somewhere close to what humankind used in the 1900s, though the transition to energy weapons has already been made. Clumsy overheating handguns and rifles that slowly fire long bolts of concentrated energy are used by high ranking soldiers or special operatives, but their durability is dubious in comparison to the mass-produced, single shot or bolt action rifles that the majority of Tajaran soldiers use. In recent years the People's Republic has largely replaced bolt action rifles with fully automatic Tsarrayut’yan rifles, however, these suffer accuracy issues at longer ranges. Bayonets are heavily relied upon in close quarters combat rather than Tajaran model submachine guns, which are expensive in the eyes of the People's Republic and jam easily in the harsh terrain of Adhomai.

Heavy infantry weapons like heavy machine guns used to come in the form of heavy, hand-cranked gatling emplacements with a heavy emphasis on frontal gun shielding. These HMG emplacements are extremely deadly in comparison to the slow-firing rifles of foot soldiers and are usually countered by Tajaran artillery or laser weaponry. Most squads of Tajara now carry a mixture of top-loading magazine-fed light machine guns or quicker firing belt-fed LMGs.

Tajaran artillery is where the cunning of the People's Republic engineering shines, and many mountain ranges of Adhomai have been lined with massive artillery guns. These weapons fire devastating artillery rounds capable of leveling small camps with a single shot, let alone a barrage. Artillery vehicles and mortar teams are almost always deployed in tandem with Tajaran infantry in order to shell enemy entrenchments and positions, and many Tajaran tacticians utilize artillery as their main killing force. These weapons are the pride of the People's Republic, and their nightmare if lost to enemy hands.

=== Education ===
Tajaran institutions for education are woefully behind their counterparts in other species. Historically, Njarir’Akhran were often the only ones who became literate. Historians theorize this is tied to their alleged rise to nobility through their positions in early theological organizations. Officials from each faction agree that religious education has dominated most of Adhomai's academic history with heavy evidence from religious books which were largely able to survive the mass destruction of books by being sheltered in temples. Disagreements among academics arise when discussing the evolution of primary schools, secondary schools, and universities. Academicians in the New Kingdom of Adhomai assert that these institutions began to raise thousands of years ago during the Gunpowder Era and downplay the role of the nobility's suppression of educating the masses. However, intellectuals in the People's Republic of Adhomai and the Democratic People's Republic assert that these institutions were disingenuous social clubs at best and that schooling and formal education did not begin to arise until five hundred years prior. Hard information on the curriculum of pre-war institutions outside of theological institutions is difficult to find, however, archaeological evidence tends to support arguments that there was a heavy focus on the arts- especially musical. Some artistic Hharar who lived before the war gives accounts on nobles providing large patronage for painters such as in the modern sense with Al-Manq, but also for lavish concerts, operas, and ballets. Sculpting also came into prominence as evidenced by the intricate detail of various statues and gargoyle-like protrusions from an array of buildings in Nal'Tor and especially on the capital building in The People's Square: the aptly-named Steeple. Regardless of the details of pre-revolution educational institutions, the current face of Tajaran education outside of seminaries is primarily technical schools that focus on preparing young Tajara to work the various labor jobs around Adhomai.

=== Marriage and Relationships ===
Historically, the peasantry made due by uniting themselves as a workforce which has bred an intimate inter-person relationship among the families of most villages, towns, and cities. Regardless of the size of the population, pre-uprising Tajara were often well acquainted with families that may have lived on the other side of town. Arranged marriages were extremely common and were ways to improve relationships among families. However, this traditional practice has met with extreme criticism following post-uprising debates. The practice of arranged marriage was not feasible following the first revolution which effectively eliminated a generation of adult Tajara. This created a generation that had to largely create their own marriages, many of which passed on this emerging cultural norm to the next generation. Although the permanent pairing of Tajara is often colloquially referred to as "marriage" due to humanizing influences, there are a handful of different technical terms for it depending on the religion of the Tajara involved. S'rand'marr worshipers are typically brought together in temples by their local Brother of the Sun in a ceremony that symbolizes and glorifies S'rendarr and life. Their equivalent of Marriage is called "'''S'rendal'Matir'''" (The life of S'rendarr), named for the idea of continuing the life which the sun god S'rendarr celebrates. Tajara under the worship of Ma'ta'ke have a less celebratory and less ritualistic ceremony, instead of having a simple meeting between families with a clergyman to proclaim the lovers "'''Zrrazhil Ekrratul'''" (Continuation of the families), named for the simple notion of propagating the blood of the families involved.

Because of the Tajara's history as a repressive, conservative species, they have not grown too open-minded or liberal - unlike humanity's progressive views for example. Overt displays of affection, xenophilia, and homosexuality among Tajara are looked down on and treated as deviancy. Societal influence during the royal rule has caused this sentiment to exist long before human contact. There also exists discrimination and bias against other races of Tajara - particularly against Zhan-Khazan for their purported low intelligence and rebellious tendencies. As a result, Tajara generally avoid interbreeding between races. An extension of the racism which prevents Tajara from breeding outside of their race can be found in the general public's extreme revulsion to notions of relationships outside of the species, an act which is considered an intolerable fetish to most. While these stances encapsulate the general view of the Tajaran society, there are individuals that do challenge this vision. They are commonly shunned and persecuted due to this.

===Holidays===

Tajaran holidays center around the celebration of their nations, faith, or community. Many of these holidays have existed for centuries if not millennia, with a host of smaller rural holidays which vary from village to village. While priests of the Ma'ta'ke pantheon and the Parivara alike speak out against holding non-Tajaran holidays on Adhomai, such as Nal'tor's annual [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-104944 Halloween] fundraisers, the vast majority of Tajara are usually indifferent towards celebrating these holidays when in Tau Ceti or other alien systems. Denying an invitation to a celebration for an alien holiday is still considered rude. Only hardliners become angered at the idea of celebrating non-Tajaran holidays off Adhomai.

*'''Armistice Day (November 26th):''' while the signing of the Armistice had led the nations to declare its date a holiday, the hopes for massive celebrations for the first anniversary were crushed quickly. The Solarian collapse had diverted the attention of the Tajaran governments towards trying to ensure their people in Tau Ceti were safe. Despite this, smaller and personal celebrations of the signed peace were still held on Adhomai. For the Tajaran community in Tau Ceti, Armistice Day became a symbol of unity in the face of the Solarian incursion. Rival gangs and communities set aside their differences and prepared for a possible invasion of Biesel together, a unity that unfortunately did not last after the rogue fleet was pushed out.

*'''Ma'ta’kyr (March 24th to 30th):''' for an entire week, followers of the Ma’ta’ke pantheon hold celebrations for their gods. The first day is for Azubarre, which is filled with dazzling performances and unsurprisingly marriages. The second day is for Dhrarmela, whose followers present well-made crafts to donate to their community. The third day is Kraszar, whose priests hold elaborate theatre performances to tell stories and share wisdom with the people. The fourth day is Shumalia's, and is spent repairing the broken homes of the poorest while also ensuring important buildings are maintained. The fifth is Rredouane’s, and a day consisting mostly of war stories and gambling. The sixth day is Marryam’s, where families spend the day connecting with one another and holding personal celebrations. The final day is dedicated to Mata'ke. It is on this day that an enormous fair is held within a community, organized by all Ma’ta’ke pantheon priests, celebrating the splendor of Mata’ke and his fellow gods. Within urban centers these fairs can become massive, sprawling over blocks and streets. D6’s Mata’ke following population celebrates this week fully, with workers taking days off or reduced shifts to enjoy it.

*'''Coming of Dawn (January 9th):''' a holiday commemorating the founding of the modern Parivara, the Coming of Dawn is when the worshippers of the Suns pay respects to Dirrnavirr'Almalik. Proclaimed as the prophet of the Suns, priests share stories about Dirrnavirr’Almalik’s history from his birth to establishing the Dominion of southern Ras’nrr, the first empire. It is said that it was there that he spread the faith of the suns and the priesthood was established and entrusted to guide the Tajara people. Services include performances from choirs and communal singing led by priests. Idols were once brought out depicting Dirrnavirr’Almalik, a Njarir King. Many of these icons were smashed apart in the First Revolution. What few still exist are artifacts in museums, kept in Sana Sahira, or brought out in Kaltir lands where the practice continues. The echo of the choirs can be heard wherever this is held, and within D6 one could hear the ringing of hymns throughout the entire district.

*'''Dholma Festival (Third Week of October):''' a week-long celebration to honor the harvest and prepare for the oncoming winter. During this period, Tajara will participate in large communal feasts, food fairs, and alcohol festivals. Drinking, eating, and spending time with friends and family are the main activities during this period; religious Tajara also visits local temples to offer donations to thank the Gods for the bountiful harvests.

===Architecture===

Adhomai's architecture is marked by the swift historical changes that the planet suffered in the past decades. Pre-contact buildings - ostentatious monuments built by the Njarir'Akhran and wooden hovels inhabited by peasants - stand alongside modern edifices constructed by the early People's Republic and the modern Tajaran nations. Because of the destruction brought by two global conflicts, the Tajara had plenty of opportunities to experiment during the reconstruction. Most urban landscapes are a mosaic displaying the styles of whoever controlled them at a given time.

== Minor Religions ==

===Raskariim===

Raskariim, commonly known as The Cult of Raskara, is a prolific cult on Adhomai. The religion was founded around the same time as the worship of the Twin Suns. While Raskara may seem like a single deity it is in fact split into three aspects, each one leading down a different path and every path subverting something S'rendarr and Messa stand for.

Calling it a cult is in a way a tongue-in-cheek joke for most members; truly the most numerous members of this "cult" are not cultists at all. They are merely rebels, punks, and other subversive elements who wish to go against the mold. The history and background of Raskara provided an excellent way to imprint themselves on the conscience of the Tajara people as something new and something to be afraid of. Clubs and underground metro stations have become the usual hangout for these sorts of people, with the "Lock and Key" club located in Crevus being the most popular. However, unbeknownst to these rebellious youths, there may be a true evil lurking beneath the cover of an anti-establishment movement.

The cults are not against the law per se but the practices and lives these cultists lead usually result in their arrest on other charges. The rural countryside is much harder to police, and those caught usually receive mob justice, be it rebellious youth or genuine cultists. The Parivara titles the Raskariim as heretics of the highest degree and warns that they should be cleansed, re-educated, or eliminated as soon as possible. The recent changes in government and public opinion on working camps have greatly impeded this effort and resulted in a larger amount of Tajara affiliating with this group. The public was becoming more tolerable towards the Raskariim as they were becoming more of an anti-establishment group, however, with the [[Bad Moon on the Rise Arc|recent events]] transpiring in Tau Ceti, these efforts were impeded. Many of the more “moderate” members stopped associating with the cult altogether instead of making their own, smaller, less extreme groups.

There are currently 5230 registered members on Adhomai but the number of unregistered cultists might number in the tens of thousands. The famous Vargir Stenovich, the lead singer of the band “Skaam’chirr” (Bloodstorm), identifies himself as a Raskara cultist, a claim which has recently been one of the many reasons why his band has been expelled by all governments of Adhomai, he currently resides in Tau Ceti.

===The True Cult===
<small><i></i></small>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
[[File:Raskara.png|frameless|center]]
'''ATTENTION! While playing a Raskariim, even a real Raskariim, is fine. This does not give you an excuse to self-antag. You still need to follow the rules.'''

While most Tajara see Raskariim as rowdy teens, washed-up alcoholics, or societal losers with an axe to grind, the truth is much more sinister. Behind the general population that calls themselves the Raskariim, there hides a very real cult that worships the moon’s presence. While believing in magic and rituals is nothing out of the ordinary on Adhomai, the Raskariim rituals often involve other illegal activities, such as murder, drug trafficking, or homosexual fast dancing.

While the top officials are aware of this cult, the general consensus is that outside of the occasional kidnapping or murder, they are a minimal threat and that alerting the public would cause more damage than good, to the fractured Adhomai communities. While one would think the events in Tau Ceti would have sparked a mass wave of arrests, the opposite is true. As it would seem, the Adhomai governments are quite fine with the Raskariim operating on foreign soil. Thus, the only pursuers the Raskariim face as the Kin of S’rrendar, who, for their very loud ways, face hindrance from governments every step of the way.

While there is no official hierarchy in the Raskariim safe for the god Raskara, which is most likely a symbolic role, the cult is split into three groups. These groups seem to be fluid, sometimes members move from one group to another, sometimes they infight, sometimes they cooperate, and other times they operate independently. While a considerable amount of funds has been invested into intelligence gathering, scarce little is known about these groups, or how they operate.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%">
====Door and Key====
<small><i></i></small>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
[[File:Raskara key.png|frameless|center]]
''“Officer she had not meant it, they must understand, one works and works the husband comes home late and tired, the kids they scream all day, well how is a poor Tajara housewife supposed to unwind?”'' – confession of Inika Zizer, convicted of adultery in the summer of 2444.

Drinking, eating, drug-taking, and zero restraint in regards to anything and everything, its the most tempting aspect as it eats away at one's decency and undermines the basics of morality. The Door and Key aspect is the most numerous one in regards to members, but this is due to the fact that many members don’t actually know they are part of it. Their rituals take the form of wild dances, copious drinking, and long drug-fueled trips. The fall into the hands of this cult is gradual, and then sudden. Many unaware members end up as chewed-up husks, barely aware, living from event to event. One bottle leads to a keg, a simple cigarette leads to Venusian ecstasy, and one dance leads to a blood ritual. Eventually, these people end up pulling others into this whirl, wanting to share this feeling with others and inadvertently dooming them to eventual deadly burnout.

The few members that seem fully aware of the goings-on usually pass off as sellers, club associates, VIPs, band-members, and other socialite figures, never fully taking charge or ownership but taking full charge of the tempo, dance, drinks, food, and other things. Yet these dens tend to be the shortest-lived, as these clubs are easy to find and thus easy to shut down, usually for other illegal activities. Yet, these members always seem to slink away at the correct time, fading away like mist, as if their physical forms were not fully there. Like parasites, they jump from club to club, moving on once they’ve had their fill. The only exception is the club called The Lock in the city of Crevus, which seems to reappear no matter how many times it is shut down.

====King of Maggots====
<small><i></i></small>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
[[File:Raskara maggot.png|frameless|center]]
''“…so he delivered the package and the next day he woke up with his debt gone. Of course, after that, I had to deposit 200 credits into a different account but thanks to that his wife got her medicine which the doctors said she couldn’t get! But he had to change jobs for his own job to be worked by someone else and then move houses so another could solve the issue with the car and then he, he realized he was living the life of someone else.”''
- confession of Iliy Al-Tahara, convicted of driving a car without a license in the summer of 2460.

Precious little information is known about this aspect, and outside of their general pattern, much remains a mystery. Similar to the previous aspect, most members seem to be unaware of their membership, or, at least, not aware of how deep their membership goes. But in a sense, it is this cult that requires the most participation from its members. The story is always the same, a Tajara does a small favor for a group that promises to help him out of his issues, something like delivering a package. Once that package is delivered, the person is indeed cured of their ailments, be it work, health, or family, it seems nothing is beyond fixing to this group. However, the Tajara then finds that the package was transporting a bomb and he is now in deep trouble, the blackmail begins and the Tajara is sent on worse and worse errands, each of which carries a reward or a threat. Yet this charade never lasts forever and this pyramid scheme tends to collapse onto those participating. Frequently, the investigators find out that while the errand runners would never meet each other, they would frequently be the ones running those errands for each other, creating a strange cycle of assistance and sabotage.

For the organizers, this means continued freedom and no real trail leading back to them. Like maggots after they’re done feasting, they transform into flies and flee the scene. The little intel available usually reveals that members tend to masquerade as loan sharks, bankers, members of the clergy, and even government officials, in general, those one would expect to come to for help. Strangely enough, from time to time Tajara that have been photographed or identified as members are arrested. Yet upon arrest, they’re usually unaware of anything happening and oftentimes have a very strong alibi. Rumors have started circulating about “face stealing”, but the truth is they’re most likely using masks and identity theft to disguise themselves.

====The Black Mirror====
<small><i></i></small>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
[[File:Raskara mirror.png|frameless|center]]
''They aren’t going to get much from him, he went upstairs as always, he knocks, the Rafamabrain owes him rent for the last three months, he busts in, nobody inside, empty, just weird writing all over the walls.”'' – confession of Mirin Il-Basil, detained for questioning during an investigation into electronic theft 2443.

While the previous cults have precious little about them, the cult of The Black Mirror is truly enigmatic. Unlike other groups, there doesn’t seem to be a common identifier and the authorities struggle to link members to each other. The most common sign of their activity is when one or more Tajara go missing in the neighborhood, their residences usually filled with occult books, charms, and scrawlings on the walls. The only link known is a reputed “Black Glassed Mirror”, which is a ritual frequently circulated on online message boards as a “Spookybread”. Alongside frequent mentions of a “Mirror through which The Stranger gazes and speaks”, it is most likely that this cult has a significant online presence. Authorities have concluded that the likeliest suspects are hackers, with the “Black Mirror” being a metaphor for computer screens.

Thus the main group’s authorities are instructed to look out for are techies. Hackers, researchers, librarians, and in general those who have access to computers and a drive for knowledge. Still, the question remains why black-tinted mirror shards are found in these apartments. Or why these missing members show up from time to time, in reflections or camera feeds.

===Suns Penitent===
Suns Penitent is a branch of S’rand’marr faith with whom the official faith refuses to associate with. Although they’re identical to the regular followers of the S’rand’marr faith, they pride themselves in their pacifism, charity and have thousands of members all across Adhomai. While they’re a relatively new sect, having been created in 2434, the Suns Penitent have skyrocketed in membership due to the conflict.

Although their faith is very similar to the mainstream branch, the main differentiation is their belief in the afterlife. As they do not believe there is a cleansing period, but instead that this earth is that cleansing. Thus they expect everyone to live as pious of a life as possible, and accept suffering as part of the process before they are let straight into Messa’s forever. The most populous groups in their midst are orphans, widows, the disabled, and others who have suffered the most in war. They hold abstinence against all forms of addiction as they believe that earthly pleasures bind one to this realm and hinder the process, likewise, all joining members must donate all their belongings to the church.

What makes them truly despicable in the minds of the Tajara and what has marked them as heretical by the Parivara, is their practice of “mercy killing”. Although they are staunch pacifists, they believe that those in a mentally unstable or catatonic state are already gone and that their bodies should be laid to rest along with their minds. Now, as the fighting is dying down, the Suns Penitent are seeing a huge drop in memberships, driving them to more and more extreme recruitment efforts.

===Njarir'Akhran Worship===

The Njarir'Akhran Worship is considered an extinct religion based on the adoration of the Adhomian monarchs and their lineage as divine beings or avatars of the Tajaran Gods. The faith's origins can be traced back to the Tajaran pre-history when the ruling class was treated as holy. Njarir'Akhran Worship reached its peak during the rule of the Dirrnavirr'Almalik dynasty. Temples and statues were erected all across southern Ras'nrr to celebrate the avatars of the Suns. Sacrifices and games were hosted during holidays to honor the God-kings. The faith's hegemony came to an end with the Migration Period and the ascension of the Church of S'rand'marr, which some claim originated from Njarir worship.

Njarir'Akhran Worship would resurface again during the late Gunpowder age. Taking inspiration from the ancient God-Kings, some ambitious kings claimed to be the manifestations of the Gods. While this caused an uproar among the religious authorities of the time, these claims were deemed to be nothing but another eccentric act of the decadent nobility by the population. Unlike the ancient version, veneration was limited to sumptuous ceremonies proclaiming the monarch’s bloodline to be holy and the construction of large mausoleums to safeguard their bodies for an eventual return. More faithful and reasonable rulers would usually condemn the consecration of their bloodlines upon ascension to the throne. Some dynasties have been sanctified and unsanctified several times throughout the generations. Ultimately, Njarir'Akhran Worship in this period was a sporadic phenomenon linked to the increasing abuses and megalomania of the nobility. The faith slowly declined until it was finally destroyed by the First Revolution. The massacre of most of the nobility proved to all of Adhomai that the Njarir'Akhran were not Gods.

All that remains nowadays of the Njarir'Akhran Worship are ruins, hidden tombs, and surviving religious texts. However, the tradition of associating popular figures - such as [[Notable Tajara#Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan|Nated]], [[Notable Tajara#Commander Kyff Hotak|Hotak]], and [[Notable Tajara#Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad|Hro'rammhad]] - with deities is still alive.

===Krizamiraeism===

Krizamiraeism is an ancient Tajara religion that originated in the Adhomian Pre-History. Unlike Ma’ta’ke and the church of S'rand'marr, Krizamiraeans did not believe that the Suns were deities. Instead, the sect believed that Adhomai was a prison built in a lower plane by malicious figures that would manifest themselves in the sky as the S’rendarr and Messa. The Tajara were considered to be higher beings, also known as Krizamir, that were captured by the two mischievous false deities and trapped in limited physical bodies. Krizamiraeism preached the material world as purposedly built to torture and mislead its inhabitants. Escaping to elevated planes was the main pursuit of the followers of this faith; something that was only thought possible through a secret magical ritual.

Krizamiraeans would study mystical texts, travel around to speak with other faithful, and lead ascetic lifestyles in search of the fabled ritual. Most of their ceremonies involved large gatherings to discuss their findings and perform sacrifices during the practice of magic. Because of their instance towards the Suns, they were violently persecuted after the rise of the Incarnate. As their number dwindled, the Krizamiraeans would become more recluse and paranoid. The communal assemblies were replaced by recluse Tajara studying in private and refusing to share anything with their peers. Later writings would claim that the Njarir’Akhran were agents of the Suns sent to stop anyone from escaping Adhomai.

After centuries of persecution, Krizamiraeism vanished during the early Gunpowder Age. Its existence is only known through texts preserved in the libraries of Sana Sahira and Olska. Despite their fate, Krizamiraeans' ideas and interest in magic would influence mystics and occultists throughout history.

==Myths and Mythological Beings==

*'''Saba Yarra:''' a mythical old Tajara woman, usually depicted as wrapped in heavy furs and walking on thin stilts the height of trees. She was a popular folkloric figure which marked the shifting of seasons, as at the end of winter a pyre would be assembled in the village, upon which an effigy in her likeness would be burned. She is usually described as a malevolent entity that would capture children who strayed into the woods and steams them in her cooker. A village in the [[Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai#Din'akk Mountains|Din'akk Mountains]] wishes to create an official faith around her, as they claim she is a deity within their forests. This suggestion has been repeatedly denied, much to the dismay of the souvenir sellers.
[[File:Crpyid.png|300px|thumb|Supposed photo of the S'mara. Currently residing in Nal'Tor Museum of Mystery.]]

*'''S'Mara:''' S'Mara (The Orphan) is a vengeful spirit appearing in Adhomai folklore and stories dating back many centuries. She is always described as a one-handed young girl, with a black-bladed tool of some kind. In all her stories, she appears as a pursuer, hunting down oathbreakers and traitors of all kinds. In recent history, a photo taken by an unknown cameraman with a disfigured girl standing over a decayed corpse has become the staple ‘look’ of The Orphan; the original photo is currently being stored in the Nal'tor Museum of Mystery. Copies of this photo have been repurposed by the propaganda industries on all sides, hoping to scare off would-be deserters and traitors.

*'''Sham'Rrihay (Wind Demon):''' Sham’Rrihay is described as a massive bald, dark-red creature the size of ten ships. He is most remembered in a tale recounting the creation of Sana Sahira. According to this legend, Sham’Rrihay was a gigantic wind demon that could blow cities apart with a single flap of his mighty wings. However, one day, a priest of S’rrendar challenged the demon to blow the stars out of the skies if he is so great. The demon tried again and again but failed each time, eventually, frustrated, he flew up towards the stars to snuff them out with his own claws and was never seen again. While this myth clearly outlines the demon’s death, stories of his existence persisted afterward. According to these tales, he returns to Adhomai as a ghastly specter, calling together a massive Sham’tyr host which flies through the skies, eating anyone unlucky enough to wander the frozen forests and plains without a torch.

*'''Cae'rrin:''' a shape-changer, this one is described as malicious. These shape-shifting creatures are described as “Furless Tajara” who use all four of their limbs to move about, with bones protruding from their body. They are said to snatch babes from their cribs and replace them with their own. Those children given by the Cae'rrin are described as quiet, intelligent, and well-behaved but also seemingly cold, unfeeling, and un-empathetic. It is said that once such a child reaches the age of 16 it’ll devour both its parents and fly off into the night, to join its real parents. Today we know it is most likely vilification of the [[Tajaran_Ethnicities#Notable_Disorders|Hakh'jar]] disability.

*'''Raskaren:''' ancient Tajara myths describe pale figures reflecting in the moonlight of Raskara, unable to walk in the sun without the cover of shade these beasts drink blood, perform debaucherous acts, and enslave young Tajara maidens to their bidding, they are called "Children of the Moon". This myth has most likely originated from anti-noble sentiments of the time. Nobles having spent most of their time in castles usually had paler, sleeker-looking fur, some theories circulate that it is also a demonization of the M'sai, who used to function as the enforcer class for the Njarir. It continues to be perpetuated today, the [[Free Tajaran Council]], in particular, enjoys using this comparison and the word has been considered illegal in territories of NKA.

*'''Tajani:''' roughly translated to "Short People", the Tajani are described as tiny, elderly Tajara. Usually dressed casually, smoking a pipe, they serve most often as guardians of nature and homes. In common folklore, they're depicted as good-willed but wary of tall folk who have wronged nature so many times. If they catch someone not showing proper respect, they cast spells of forgetting on them to get them lost in the forests. Tajara children have fun building Tajani snowmen or small huts for them to live in. Hand-carved Tajani charms are said to bring good luck and so many adopt them into their trinket repertoire.

*'''Ratajani:''' short, ugly, stump-tailed, and often of varying neon colors the Ratajani, roughly translated to(Bad Short People), are an evil twist on the Tajani folklore. Their nature or purpose is not exactly defined, they're usually titled as ugly, greedy, and the reason for why small bad and unlucky things happen. Faulted for spoiling milk, letting out livestock, making you bump your toes, and sudden emergence for bad smells, the Ratajani seem like an ultimate scapegoat. Misbehaving children are usually compared to Ratajani, but recently with the influence of foreign races, Tajara have come to use it as a slur to describe Skrell.

*'''Pan-Ahran:''' ''“You are one, Three and Two, He is Here, Five and Four, Here He Comes, Seven and Six, You are Gone, None, Pan-Ahran!"''. This well-known nursery rhyme, prevalent mainly on the continent of Das'nrra, had been sung by children since the early Njarir period. Its meaning is insidiously rooted inside a story that speaks of a Pan-Ahran a malicious ghostly figure, which would lurk inside mirrors waiting for an invitation. After being invited, the being would answer three questions for the Tajara’s soul. There has been a heated debate in historical circles about the figure’s origins. One side argues that it’s a metaphor for vanity, while a secondary theory posits that it’s a warning of questioning the Njarir rulers. However, neither side can explain why the figure is always depicted as a shrouded figure standing in a dead field of grass, pointing at the viewer.

*'''Bolfurrrr:''' most myths serve to teach a lesson or make an example out of someone, the story of Bolfurrrr exemplifies this. Bolfurrrr is described as a fat round Tajara, with large legs, a big nose, big ears, and small eyes, and two too many R’s in his name. He’s characterized as a jolly, well-meaning figure that causes mischief and trouble through his unfortunate incompetency. Adapted into film, later on, Bolfurrrr has become a household icon and the pinnacle of early Tajara satirical humor. With shorts such as “Bolfurrrr cooks the army”, “Bolfurrrr gets offensive” or “Bulfurrrr tanks the mechanized division”, Bolfurrrr had become an educational figure for the troops. Explaining the various risks and procedures in the army in an entertaining manner.

*'''Aghar'mahrk:''' a mythical world that is said to be located in Adhomai’s core. Aghar'mahrk is commonly described as a place of untold wealth and wonders; it is supposedly inhabited by a race of magical Tajara. Legends claim that the entrance is hidden somewhere on the planet’s [[Adhomai#Geographical Poles|poles]], a rumor that was likely inspired by the large tunnels made by the Hma'trra Zivr wormlings in the ice. Several expeditions were launched in the past by the nobility to find and claim the subterranean realm. Because of the failure of the previous endeavors and its obvious status as a legend, most Tajara consider Aghar'mahrk to be nothing but another myth.

==Occultism==

Because of rampant superstition and inclination towards oral tradition, the occult always had a long relationship with the Tajara. Since time immemorial, mystics, fortune-tellers, soothsayers, alchemists, and healers have existed in the Tajaran society. These practitioners of the occult had a mixed relationship with the population and the clergy; sometimes they were seen as blessed by the gods to perform miracles and other times they were condemned to death for allegedly having a pact with Raskara. As the church lost most of its temporal power to the Njarir’Akhran monarchies during the Steeple Age, the presence of occultists in the courts steadily increased. Some Kings dared to have their own court magicians or even entire cabals of mystics. Before the first contact, many nobles and Hharar intellectuals were deeply interested in the supernatural. Secret societies and occult organizations were common at that time. The First Revolution forced these individuals back to the edges of society. The secular - sometimes even atheistic - Hadiist ideology saw the interest in the occult as suspicious behavior. The biggest esoteric organization in modern Tajaran history, the [[Little Adhomai#Society of the Hidden Dusk|Society of the Hidden Dusk]], was forced to flee from Adhomai during Malik Hadii’s ascension to power.

The Second Revolution and the Armistice was a ray of hope for those who are interested in occultism. Because of the appeal to tradition and religious renaissance brought by the Al’mariists and Royalist ideologies, mystics and occultists now have a higher degree of freedom to operate. While traditional healers and wisemen still exist in Adhomai, more modern occultists have started to appear. In meetings of their secret societies or extranet forums dedicated to urban legends, these Tajara discuss and explore subjects deemed as pseudosciences. It is common for Raskariim to infiltrate and recruit from these circles. Some esoteric concepts - such as the belief that Supreme Commander Nated is a prophet - have slowly started to trickle into Adhomian politics. Current Tajaran occultism draws inspiration from ancient myths, the Ma’ta’ke Gods, Krizamiraeism, and even Raskara’s aspects.

===Ancient Tajara Theory===

The Ancient Tajara Theory is an esoteric belief proposing that the pre-historic Tajara were spiritually and technologically more advanced than their modern counterparts. The theory originates from pre-contact occultist societies. Misinterpreting archeological findings that suggest that the Tajara species once inhabited caves, proponents of this idea claim that the Tajara originated from the mythical underground realm known as Aghar'mahrk. They were created by the very primordial forces that shaped the universe, instead of evolving from primitives.

According to the theory, the Ancient Tajara were once united by a planet sprawling empire with its capital in Adhomai's core. The more deranged theories claim that these Tajara had highly advanced technologies - marvels that would rival or surpass what is known today - and even magical powers. However, due to some unknown disaster, the Tajara on the surface were cut off from Aghar'mahrk; the Ancient Tajara then quickly devolved into multiple ethnicities without contact with its homeland. Because of this supernatural origin, the Tajara are considered to be a people of immense untapped potential; the chosen species that will soon conquer its rightful role in the galaxy when the right conditions are met. Conspiracy theories propose that the galactic powers are fully aware of the Ancient Tajara origins and are actively sabotaging the Tajara people to stop them from reclaiming their lost might.

Despite its origins, the Ancient Tajara Theory survived the First Revolution; it was later adopted by modern occultists, conspiracy theorists, and Tajaran supremacists. The extranet has become a fertile ground to disseminate these ideas and unite its followers. While still considered a fringe belief by the great majority of the Tajara, the theory has found its supporters among the most radical Adhomian elements. Some [[Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai#Schools_of_Thought|Vanguard Natediists]] have adopted these ideals to legitimize their rabid xenophobia. [[New Kingdom of Adhomai#Schools_of_Thought|Revival Royalists]] incorporated the theory as well to justify the nobility's right to unquestionable rule; they added the narrative that the Njarir'Akhran are the closest race to the Ancient Tajara.

==Symbols==

In a similar manner to the other species, symbols have an important role in Tajara society. Prior to First Contact, much of the symbolism present in works of art had its roots in religion and esotericism. After the Revolution, propaganda and political symbols took the centerpiece. However, amulets and icons are still present in nearly every Tajara home.
[[File:Twinsuns.png|100px|thumb|The Twin Suns Icon.]]

===Notable Symbols===
*'''Twin Suns Icon:''' an ancient icon representing Adhomai's suns. While the Church of S'rand'marr claims it was originally a religious symbol, archeological evidence traces its origins to the Tajaran pre-history. The Twin Suns Icon represents auspiciousness, protection, and perseverance. It is commonly found on clothing, weapons, vehicles, and carved on the entrance of homes. When used on flags, it is considered to be a symbol of incontestable rulership.
[[File:Fraternitysymbol.png|100px|thumb|left|The Revival Royalist Ancient Tajara Herald.]]
*'''Ancient Tajara Herald:''' an occultist symbol created by the Society of the Hidden Dusk to portray their esoteric ideals. To give its creation more legitimacy, the Society claimed it was found in ancient relics. The sphere represents Adhomai; its hollow upper section is the surface while the inferior one is Aghar'mahrk. The icon was later adopted by the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity. The Fraternity added a square to portray the four Tajaran ethnicities and a red drop representing the Njarir'Akhran's supposed link to the Ancient Tajara.
[[File:Badmoonsymbol.png|100px|thumb|right|The Raskara Sigil.]]
*'''Raskara Sigil:''' a symbol used by Raskariim to evoke Raskara's attention during rituals. Due to its affiliation to no particular aspect of Raskara, the icon became widely known outside of the cult. Older Tajara consider the sigil to be highly offensive. In more modern, secular depictions, the Raskara Sigil is a stand-in for evil forces. The real meaning behind the red circle remains highly disputable; some claim it represents the blood of followers killed during the repression of the cult throughout the ages.

[[Tajara|Tajaran]] history and society has a long list of notable individuals and heroes that are known across [[Adhomai]].

==People's Republic==

''"Comrades, in this struggle we fight to protect the progress we have fought so hard to make in the preceding decades. Our march forever onwards for a Hadiist society must not be stopped by the usurpers who would see us become a brutish military dictatorship, nor those fetid imperialists who would restore the atrocities of the old ways."''

''- President Njadrasanukii Hadii, in a televised address to the people in 2452.''
===President Njadrasanukii Hadii===

[[File:Hadii portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the president, done in 2460.]]
Njadrasanukii Hadii, also known as Malik Hadii, was born in '''2402''' to the noble Njarir'Akhran Hadii line. His mother was Rajjurl Hadii, and his father Tajrhalrr Hadii. He got involved with the military at an early age, becoming a cadet for the Royal Navy at 16 and achieving a commission as a Lieutenant-Commander at 22, and leading his own destroyer as a Captain at 29. During the revolution, he briefly fought for the loyalists but was recalled to the Hadii Citadel to help defend his family's ancestral home. Following the revolution and the Hadii's rise in the new Federal Republic, Njadrasanukii was given the office of Vice-President under his brother Al'Mari Hadii.

Malik assumed the presidency in '''2451''' after the assassination of Al'mari. He continued his brother's early agenda of collaborating with NanoTrasen and other galactic powers. Njadrasanukii purged any suspicious elements from his administration after the Nated's coup, consolidating his power through the imprisonment and execution of anyone that threatened his regime. Further authoritarian measures were established by him; the expansion of the secret police, the rapid industrialization of the PRA, and further persecution against those who did not conform to his policies. Under Malik Hadii's control, the current form of Hadiism took shape; an ideology focused on the creation of a monolithic Tajaran culture under the unquestionable guidance of the Hadii political line. The office of the president had its powers largely expanded under his rule, allowing Njadrasanukii to control all aspects of the People's Republic government. Total loyalty to Njadrasanukii is expected from all Party members.

A state-endorsed cult of personality has been established around President Hadii. Through a robust propaganda system, republican citizens are informed daily about Malik's achievements and how only through his guidance the Republican can prosper. Portraits of President Hadii can be found in most Hadiist homes and government buildings. Njadrasanukii is known for his speeches praising his own administration and the bravery of his people; his voice can be heard frequently on the radio. While many admire him as a strong leader, others fear his ruthless ways of dealing with the opposition.

President Hadii is famous for his extreme paranoia. Very few high-ranking members of the Party have direct access to him and little is known about his private life. He is constantly surrounded by hand-picked members of the secret service; those bodyguards are always under the risk of being purged for any reason. It is rumored that he has survived more than three hundred assassination attempts.

The few Tajara who had the opportunity to know President Hadii personally, portray him as energetic, charismatic, thoughtful, but deeply paranoid and vindictive. Njadrasanukii cultivates an image of a simple Tajara; he leads a frugal lifestyle with few material needs. Because of the nature of the PRA's government, President Hadii's work and private life are deeply entangled. President Hadii's favorite pastimes are watching movies, playing Farehal, and reading books; rumors claim that Njadrasanukii has at least 20,000 Tajaran and alien books in his private collection.

Despite the outcome of the Second revolution, Njadrasanukii continues to rule the People's Republic with an iron grip. He did not give up his plans of reestablishing Hadiist hegemony over Adhomai.

[[File:headmaster portrait.png|200px|thumb|left|A rare picture of the camera shy Tyr'adrr, taken during the closure of an illegal protest, dated to 2459.]]
===Headmaster Harrrdanim Tyr'adrr===

Harrrdanim was born in '''2425''' to a M'sai family serving the Hadii during the First Revolution. Wishing to follow in the footsteps of his parents, he joined the Hadiist Party at a young age. He soon caught the attention of the People's Strategic Intelligence Service due to his craftiness and was given a position in the agency. Despite enjoying moderate success during the late years of Al’mari’s rule, Tyr'adrr rose to prominence after the President’s assassination. Leading several purges within the secret service, he was able to secure a promotion as the Headmaster after the previous head was arrested for suspicious behavior. Under Tyr’addr’s control, the PSIS became the feared terror machine it is today. Heavy investments in surveillance technology, the establishment of a robust web of informants, and the large-scale repression of political opponents greatly weakened the opposition in the People’s Republic. His supposed adventures during this period have spawned an entire "spy thriller" genre in the Republic.

After helping secure President Hadii's rule, Headmaster Harrdanim focused his efforts on fighting the Liberation Army and the New Kingdom. Ruthless anti-partisan campaigns were carried out under his supervision. The displacement of Chaniska’s native population, scorched-earth tactics in Northern Ras'nrr, and the creation of Try'urma Penitentiary were among some of his orders during the conflict. His actions during the Second Revolution earned him the reputation of being merciless and bloodthirsty. In spite of several assassination attempts, ALA agents failed to murder him and he continued his reign of terror unimposed.

Even after the Armistice, Headmaster Harrdanim continues to work tirelessly to undermine the enemies of the Republic. He has a large interest in securing the Tajara population living outside of Adhomai and is responsible for the PSIS presence in District Six. He is eager to suggest more authoritarian solutions and believes in increasing, even more, the state’s control over the population. Because of the role of the Strategic Service in the government, Tyr'adrr is one of the most powerful and hated Tajara in the People's Republic. While seemingly loyal to President Hadii, many in the Party fear where Tyr'adrr's ambition might lead him.

Analytic, controlling, and cold are some of the words frequently used to describe Harrrdanim's personality. The headmaster is known to calculate every step on his way; he tries his hardest to manipulate the events in his favor. Tyr'adarr is also infamous for never assuming any kind of blame - a scapegoat, willingly or not, always shows up to take the fall. Thanks to his position in the government, little to nothing is known about his personal life.

===Party Secretary Yakiv Hadii===

Yakiv Hadii was born in '''2412''' as the second cousin to President Hadii. While too young to take part in the First Revolution, Yakiv joined the Hadiist Party as soon as he could. During Njadrasanukii’s rule, he excelled as a bureaucrat due to his organizational skills. He managed the distribution of land and the establishment of communal farms during the Republican Agrarian reforms. Through a combination of political maneuvers and nepotism, he quickly climbed the Party's ranks. Yakiv sought to further the Republican relationship with NanoTrasen, seeking their support for the development of Adhomai. This stance caused him to lose Al’mari’s favor during the years leading to the Second Revolution. He was then demoted to an unimportant position in the Ministry of Agriculture.

Yakiv returned to prominence after Rhagrrhuzau’s assassination; he was seen as a way to link Malik’s rule to his now-deceased brother. Following the abolishment of the office of vice-president, Yakiv was promoted as the Party Secretary by Njadrasanukii. He became responsible for the internal organization and reviewing applications to the Party; he was quick to remove many of his political opponents from power using his new powers. Known as unquestionably loyal to President Hadii, he became infamous for being nothing but a yes man. He continued his policy of maintaining good relations with megacorporations, lobbying for more deals with NanoTrasen. Countless Tajara were given the opportunity to leave Adhomai due to his efforts, most sold as cheap labor while some others were able to acquire higher education. During the final stages of the war, he was one of the main proponents of the need for foreign intervention to save the People's Republic.

After the Armistice, Yakiv remained as Party Secretary. He is one of the closest advisors to President Hadii, helping Malik in matters related to internal and external affairs. Despite being an orthodox Hadiist, he is eager to push for changes to appease NanoTrasen and other foreign powers in an attempt to gain their support. Many within the Party see Yakiv as a power-hungry and untrustworthy politician, eager to abuse his power to reach what he wants. Others recognize him as a cunning politician with a rather dangerous influence over President Hadii.

Yakiv Hadii is a notorious opportunist and sycophant; he is always trying to acquire any kind of leverage where it might exist. Personally, this means that Yakiv is more than eager to make friends with anyone of any importance. However, the friendship might come with strings attached: a request to repay a favor or take part in a shady business. Yakiv takes full advantage of his position within the Hadiist Party to indulge himself in all luxuries available to the political elite. Because of this lifestyle, Yakiv has become noticeably overweight.

===Minister of Defense Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar===

Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar was born into a Hharar peasant family in '''2428'''. He was raised around veterans of the first revolution and was always interested in their stories. Owing to the new opportunities brought by the People’s Republic, Irbaykhan enrolled in a military academy and joined the Grand People's Army as an officer. He survived the purges of the early Hadiist government because of his political reliability; as he was one of the first army leaders to support President Hadii during his ascension. This left him in the privileged situation of being one of the few properly trained officers at the dawn of the Nated’s coup.

Irbaykhan quickly climbed the ranks of the Republican Army during the Second Revolution. Making extensive use of artillery and motorized troops, he secured early victories that gave much-needed breathing room to the fragile Republic. While in command of the Dymtris Front in '''2456''', he pushed the New Kingdom into the defensive position that they would remain in until the very end of the war. Mirarkiizar’s final promotion during the conflict was to the theater commander of the Rass’nrr Military District. With the help of the alien allies of the Republic, he managed to recapture the main region of the continent. He was given a seat in the Ministry of Defense after the Armistice, working alongside the upper echelons of the Party to refine the Republic’s strategy.

Unlike most members of the Ministry of Defense, Irbaykhan has both political connections and practical experience in the field. This combination has made him one of President Hadii’s closest advisors in regard to military matters. Currently, he is responsible for the Hro'zamal campaign. Mirarkiizar sees the Grand People's Army as an essential component of the Hadiist state; the ever-vigilant guardian of the Republic against its enemies. The Minister believes that strict discipline and union towards a common goal is the best way to safeguard the future of the People’s Republic.

Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar is known for his disciplined and simple lifestyle. The Minister is very strict with his routine and commonly scolds Party members, other generals, and his family for being what he would call undisciplined. Irbaykhan is well-known for his unquestionable loyalty; he would prefer death over treason. He is only seen out of uniform when fishing - Irbaykhan's favorite pastime.

===Minister of Technology Zhuldyz Hadii===
[[File:zhuldyz portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A picture done of Zhuldyz Hadii in her lab, created in 2462.]]
Born in '''2420''' to the Hadii dynasty, Zhuldyz enjoyed the many privileges granted to her family. She grew up fascinated by the new technologies brought by human contact; she would spend hours tinkering and dismantling electronics during her childhood. Later she was sent to study in prestigious Solarian universities, where she ventured into the field of robotics. Zhuldyz returned to Adhomai in 2449 and was granted a post in the Ministry of Technology.

Using the knowledge acquired off-world, Zhuldyz drew plans with the objective of modernizing the Republic through a technological revolution. The rapid industrialization aided by mechatronics would bring prosperity to the Tajara. While many of her initial projects were abruptly interrupted by Rhagrrhuzau's assassination, she remained in her position due to being a member of the Hadii dynasty. The unstable early years of Njadrasanukii’s presidency were unfavorable towards her dreams; stopping Nated’s coup and the Royalist uprising were top priorities at the time. However, as the frontlines stagnated and a semblance of normalcy returned to the People’s Republic, Zhuldyz had the chance to convince President Hadii of her plans. Knowing that losing the war would put an end to her pursuits, she turned her genius to the military field. Victory could be achieved through technological superiority. She was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Hadii Institute of Orbital Research|Hadii Institute of Orbital Research]], the expansion of the [[Tajara_Space_Capability#PRA_Army_Wing|Orbital Fleet]], and the creation of the Tesla Brigade. Zhuldyz was promoted to the office of the Minister of Technology shortly before the Armistice.

The Adhomian Cold War became the perfect testing ground for Zhuldyz's projects. She sees the period of peace as an opportunity to turn the People's Republic into a technological powerhouse. Zhuldyz believes that the future of Hadiism lies in the science and that the Republic must become advanced enough to subjugate its enemies. Minister Hadii is not interested in ethical or safe research; she is eager to pursue dangerous and questionable experiments. No price is too small to pay during the march of progress. President Hadii gave Zhuldyz near uncontested authority to lead the Ministry of Technology. She was the mind behind the creation of the first independent robotic factory on Adhomai.

Due to her upbringing, she is a brilliant scientist and a charming conversationalist, but at the same time, she frequently refuses to admit fault and is quick to scrutinize the work of others. Holding them to nearly impossibly high standards. Many scientists have been transferred to less desirable positions due to failing to meet Zhuldyz's demands. She is a notorious workaholic who only leaves her laboratory to attend political meetings.

===Secretary of the Navy Hura'zhi Mira'zkui===

Born in '''2422''' to an exiled line of minor nobility from the Zatushka Kingdom, Mira’zkui grew up in the chaos of the First Revolution as the armies of the Hadiist rebels marched across Adhomai. When the dust had settled, despite his personal wishes to enter the party itself, his family would convince him to uphold their old traditions and join the forming Republican Navy in '''2447'''. It was then that Mira’zkui met Dynhaas and joined the Oceanmasters Lounge.

During the chaos of Dynhaas’ defection in '''2450''', Mira’zkui narrowly avoided his own death. Informed early by a loyal lieutenant that his own crew was plotting to kill him, Mira’zkui fled in a lifeboat and watched as his fellow officers were thrown screaming from the decks of their own ships. A few days later, he was found on the shores of Ras’nrr. As the Republic fell into chaos, Mira’zkui returned to the Republican Navy as Secretary, entrusted by Malik Hadii to fight against the pirate flotillas of the ALA and the Royal Navy. However, Mira’zkui’s loyalty was not able to make up for his inexperience. While the last of the Liberation Army’s pirate vessels were sunk, he was unable to contend with the strength of the Royal Navy and unable to achieve his personal desire: Capturing or killing Dynhaas.

Post-War, Mira'zkui has largely become reclusive and withdrawn from the public eye. While he continues to try and develop the Republican navy, Mira’zkui is forced to contend with funding going towards the projects of the Orbital Navy and Grand People’s Army. With a relationship of mutual dislike between himself and Zhuldyz Hadii, many within the party believe that Mira’zkui will likely be replaced eventually. How he would react to being denied any chance for revenge against Dynhaas is something no one knows.

===Minister of Education Kalim Khazdar===

Kalim Khazdar was born in '''2430''' to a family of Hharar foremen in the city of Tampiska. Deemed a bright child by his teachers, he was sent to study in Al'marii. Captivated by the tales of progress and prosperity brought by the interwar period, Kalim enrolled at the Al'marii College of Hadiist Sciences. He continued his studies intending to become a college teacher. During his time as a student, he became a good friend and protégé of the rector of the university, Mahir Hadii. His friendship with a member of the political dynasty opened many doors for him.

Kalim joined the Hadiist party during the Second Revolution. He later visited Tau Ceti to study the Adhomian community there; his experiences in District Six deeply affected his ideas. He saw all the social problems that those who lived under the megacorporation rule were subject to. Instead of losing faith in Hadiism, he started to believe that reforms were necessary to save the People's Republic; NanoTrasen should be a means to an end, not the end itself. Kalim returned to Adhomai in 2459 and became a college professor. Thanks to his connections, he soon got involved with the administration and politics of the university. His papers on the subject of Hadiist education were generally well-received by the academia.

With the Armistice of Shastar, Kalim Khazdar aligned himself to the Young Hadiist faction; his sympathy towards the movement was largely unknown to the Party. His ascension to the position of Minister of Education in 2463 was the result of a confidential deal between his mentor and President Hadii. Despite being considered a powerless and inexperienced politician by the other members of the Hadiist cabinet, Kalim is not to be underestimated. Cunning will be necessary to avoid the wrath of President Hadii and his lackeys. The path to a truly free People's Republic will be a long and difficult one.

Usually depicted as a wide-eyed idealist, Kalim Khazdar is anything but naive. The few years he spent navigating the political fields of the Al'mari College transformed him into a bright, yet deeply cunning individual. Kalim rarely loses hope; he prefers to spin every defeat into a minor setback to maintain morale. Many wonder how long it will take for Khazdar's optimism to be crushed by the People's Republic politics. Besides his academic and political work, Kalim has published Hadiist realist poems and short stories.

===Chief Naval Commander Samirro Qarrarhaz===

Born in Northern Ras’nrr in '''2407''', Samirro was the son of a loyal M'sai general in the Hadii Hegemony. Qarrarhaz's family raised and taught him to follow in his father’s footsteps. He would become an artillery officer in '''2428''', finding great success during combat against monarchist groups through using extensive shelling to force and flush out the enemy. By '''2431''' Qarrarhaz was moved into Southern Harr’masir to prepare for an invasion of the Kingdom of Kaltir. His artillery crews were among those who scoured the Kingdom following its surrender, shelling whatever villas, castles, and manors they had found. A staunch ally of Al’mari Hadii and his family, Qarrarhaz has always stood by the Hadii family and the republic they had later built.

While also providing training for future artillery commanders in the interwar period, Qarrarhaz became part of a committee formed by President Al’mari Hadii to plan and prepare a space fleet for the PRA. He, along with other committee members, traveled to the Coalition of Colonies' planets of Xanu Prime and Himeo to observe anti-piracy operations in order to better develop the PRA’s own future space warfare doctrine in '''2452'''. When the Orbital Fleet was completed by '''2457''', Qarrarhaz was appointed Chief Naval Commander by President Malik Hadii. Since then, he has won numerous victories against piracy, smugglers, and even bested a [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/?do=findComment&comment=114422 Sol cruiser].

Post-war, Qarrarhaz continues to lead his spaceships and Kosmostrelki in the defense of the PRA’s claimed space. Comfortable and experienced in his position, Qarrarhaz has begun to speak more on the future of the PRA’s ventures into space. Controversially, the Commander has stated that the PRA must eventually extend its hand to the numerous small colonies and off-worlder communities dotting the frontier around them. Arguing that Hadiism’s light must be spread beyond Tajara, it is his belief that the PRA must one day uplift these groups from their poverty and absorb them into the state.

===Yasmin Piaf===

[[File:Yasmin portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A piece of a poster, promoting Yasmin Piaf's concert, 2463.]]
Yasmina Burokov, aka Yasmin Piaf, was born in 2434 in the suburbs of Nal'tor to a particularly well-off Njarir'Akhran family. Yasmin's father, Boris Burokov was a low-ranking State department official and devout loyalist of the People's Republic. She spent her childhood being educated in the best State-run schools their family could afford and enjoyed relative wealth and prosperity far from the poorer outskirts of the city.

Even from a young age, Yasmin was interested in music. She was part of her school's choir and participated in several nationwide contests for the honor of singing for President Rhagrrhuzau Hadii. The all-female 'Band of Njarir Maidens' consisting of Yasmin and her classmates eventually won and sang for the President and other members of his cabinet at the end of the annual military parade held in Nal'tor. Eventually, she graduated and went on to the Academy of Musical Arts with a full scholarship.

Talent scouts pruning the burgeoning academy's student pool for the next starlet eventually discovered Yasmin during rehearsals for the school's upcoming musical, and she signed a tentative deal with the small publication Vostak Recordings. Her first record, simply titled The Man in Rouge, was released with minimal fanfare. Given that she had sung a small solo during her performance for the President, some Tajara recalled her name.

Yet her voice, described by some as angelic and innocent, found purchase with an aging generation of Tajara who wished a brief return to peaceful normalcy following the First Revolution. Her dedication to the traditional pop standard and recognition for torch songs eventually elevated her to the status of a household name, with her recording label releasing hit after hit. As a result, Yasmin Piaf has become one of the most famous singers in the modern era - one who has fostered a close relationship with State officials. She is one of the few artists who are approved to be played on State radio KGTW-11.

===Andrey Borisov===

Out of all the Tajara that one could argue embody loyalty to the People’s Republic, perhaps none are more memorable than Andrey Alexander Borisov. In the average Republican household, his name is just as common as President Hadii’s, owing to the fact that he is the face of State propaganda and news network RAFИ. Born in 2416 to a line of M’sai warriors, Andrey was not even two years old before humanity stumbled across Adhomai and lit the flame that ignited the First Revolution.

Andrey’s father and uncle were killed in the uprising, leaving him, his mother, and his sister alone to fend for themselves. His mother curried favor with the local rebel leader when their town fell to the onslaught of war; she became his concubine and, later, his wife. The ever-advancing front saw Andrey moved from home to home, where the young M’sai would often spend time talking to soldiers recovering after harsh fighting. They nourished a sense of patriotism in him, and eventually, he came to see the First Revolution as necessary for the future of the Tajara.

The war ended in 2432, when he was merely 16 years old. As the newly founded People’s Republic began the arduous transition from a movement to a government, Andrey’s connections with the upper echelon of PRA politicians bore fruit. He was taken on as a member of an officer’s general staff, headquartered in Nal’Tor, where he served as little more than a glorified secretary. His position put him in contact with the elite, however, and many found him charming and personable. His silver tongue earned him the interest of Dmitrys Marakov, the owner of the only State-approved television station at that point in time.

His ascension from lowly secretary to the major news anchor for RAFИ was one that involved plenty of political maneuvering, money - and, rumored by some, violence - but ultimately Andrey had proved his loyalty to the political elite of the People's Republic and he was rewarded with the honor of being their mouthpiece. As a result, no Tajara on Adhomai can go very long without seeing his smiling face on their television set, spinning the next story or cover-up at the behest of the State.

==Democratic People's Republic==

''"We are soldiers. We are fighters. We are war. We have forsaken the corrupt and decaying corpse of the xeno-loving People's Republic. We have left our homes and our families, but our cause is righteous. The suns are with us! The vile usurper of my friend and comrade Al'mari will have justice delivered to him! We will spill the blood of our enemies until our struggles are seen and heard, and we WILL retake OUR Republic!"

''- Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan, the day after the coup de tat began, 2451.''

===Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan===
[[File:Nateed portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A surprise picture of Nated, taken in 2458.]]
Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan was born in '''2404''' to a M'sai family under the service of the Hadii Dynasty. The son of a royal guard, Nated interacted with many Njarir children in his early life. He grew to resent their narcissism but was prepared to inherit his duty nonetheless. When the First Revolution ignited in '''2421''', Halkiikijr fought for the loyalists alongside the Hadii family. Becoming a battle-brother of Rhagrrhuzau Hadii, or better known as Al'Mari Hadii, Nated stood with the Hadii’s decision to abandon their royal roots and join the revolutionaries. When the war ended Al'Mari was sworn into office, Halkiikijr was made a Commander in Chief of the Republican Army in return for his service.

Al'Mari supposedly made promises of swearing-in Halkiikijr as the next president of the People's Republic once the political climate on Adhomai had stabilized. The legitimacy of this claim is not known, but what is known is that Al'Mari was assassinated during a military parade in '''2451''' and Njadrasanukii Hadii, vice president of the People's Republic, swore himself in as the successor of the presidency. Outraged at the assassination and accusing Njadrasanukii of treachery against the People’s Republic, Nated organized a coup against Malik. Bringing together military commanders dissatisfied with the new Hadiist policies, Halkiikijr created the Adhomai Liberation Army to dethrone the new President. He then took the title of Supreme Commander.

As the putsch attempt was thwarted by the Hadiist forces, Nated fled to Shastar City. The coup then turned into a full-blown civil war between the Liberation Army and the People’s Republic. Without off-world help, Nated called to arms anyone willing to support his cause. His movement became a unifying front to all kinds of elements opposing President Hadii; from democratic reformers to extremists fighting to free Adhomai from alien influence. For a decade, Halkiikijr led the Liberation Army as an effective opposing force against the People’s Republic and the New Kingdom. He favored the extensive use of irregular warfare coupled with the deployment of the army to secure decisive battles. A cult of personality formed around Halkiikijr; extremists claimed that he was a prophet sent by the Gods. The Supreme Commander took advantage of this belief to cultivate undying loyalty and fanaticism among his followers.

Believing that the territories under his control were ready for a democracy modeled after the Al'mariist principles, Nated's undisputed rule came to an end with the creation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai. Halkiikijr retired from his position as Supreme Commander to prevent a coup against the newly elected president. His retirement did not last long; he returned to power because of the Amohdan crisis in '''2462'''. Nated was given back the control of the Liberation Army and its remaining juntas to retake the Island of Amohda. After this display of weakness, Halkiikijr is unsure if the DPRA is truly ready to rule Adhomai. For him, the ALA is now more essential than before. Nated also faces infighting between his two right-hand men; commander Kahan and Kyff.

While some may call Nated an opportunist or a loyal friend to Al'mari, what is certain is that he is determined. Both in his personal and political life, the Supreme Commander is known to never lose sight of his objectives. This might lead him to make promises that might be hard to fulfill, but Halkiikijr rarely goes back on his word. Because of his association with the most radical elements of the ALA and his tendency of using his position of authority to interfere in disputes, he is a firm believer that the end justifies the means. Because of the utility of his cult of personality, Nated avoids exposing much of his private life.

===Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad===
[[File:Kahan portrait.png|200px|thumb|left|Commander Hro'rammhad in his summer uniform, taken in 2461.]]
Kahan Hro'rammhad was born in '''2412''' to a Hharar family as their oldest children. A peasant from birth in the region of Southern Harr'masir, he was taught the traditional values of S'rendarr and Messa by his deeply religious parents. His childhood was cut short by the outbreak of the First Revolution; his family was expelled from their lands by the war. Thanks to its flat terrain, Southern Harr’masir saw the first deployment of armored vehicles in the conflict; trains, civilian cars, and trucks were outfitted for warfare by the rebels. Hro’rammhad joined the crew of an armored car as soon he turned 14 years old. Because of the high mortality among the revolutionaries, Kahan quickly found himself in the command of his own brigade. He became famous for his excellent use of the vehicles’ speed to encircle the enemy, and for his merciful nature. Monarchists soldiers were always given the chance of joining his side after capture. Hro’rammhad also forbade unnecessary executions and mistreatment of prisoners among his fighters.

Commander Kahan and his brigade were incorporated into the Hadiist faction shortly before the end of the First Revolution. As a member of the Republican Army, he was a major proponent of the transformation of the People’s Army into a motorized force. Tank brigades and motostrelki units were created under his supervision. Kahan funded the reconstruction of many temples destroyed during the revolution and frequently donated to charity through the interwar period. Hro’rammhad joined Nated’s coup due to his profound disagreement with Malik’s policies; he saw the oppression of the Zhan-Khazan as morally corrupt. Armored units that defected alongside him were organized into the Hro'rammhad Tank Corps under his command.

Hro'rammhad remained a merciful and pious Tajara through the Second Revolution. He rejected the notion of irregular warfare and continued to offer mercy to his enemies. As the leader of the main armored force in the Liberation Army, Kahan played an important role in decisive battles. This position allowed him to become a right-hand man for Nated. As part of his religiousness, Hro'rammhad considered the conflict to be a battle to protect the faith against the innate atheism of Hadiism. Religious imagery and motifs became common among his Tajara. The men under Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad are known to have the utmost respect for his bravery and mercy, most even going so far as to worship him as an embodiment of S'rendarr's justice. His success during the civil war earned him the nickname of “Undefeated Commander".

Despite the armistice, Commander Kahan remains as one of the second-in-command for Halkiikijr. He is an avid supporter of the transition to democracy, advocating for the dismantlement of the juntas. This position earned him many enemies among the more authoritarian elements within the Liberation Army. He is known to despise Commander Kyff Hotak for his tactics and personality. Both Tajara are currently engaged in an internal struggle to consolidate their influence over the Liberation Army.

Thanks to his religious upbringing, Commander Kahan is a forgiving and honest individual. He may be eager to let bygones be bygones, but he is not easily fooled by malicious intentions; anyone trying to take advantage of him will not have an easy time. Hro'rammhad enjoys spending his free time with his family. His thirty years-long marriage sired nine children - three of whom lost their lives in the Second Revolution.

===Commander Kyff Hotak===
[[File:hotak portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A picture of Commander Hotak along with his pet Farwa, taken with flash in 2458.]]
Born in the year '''2406''' to a family of Zhan-Khazan miners in the Trizar, Kyff Hotak was supposedly destined to slave away for his Njarir master as his ancestors did for many generations. To avoid this fate, Hotak fled his home as a young Tajara. He ran into the wilderness until he found a bandit camp. Because of his age, the brigands decided to adopt Kyff as the group’s mascot. The boy grew up witnessing all kinds of crime and violence; later taking part in the band’s activity when old enough. The bandits sided with the rebels during the First Revolution in search of plunder. But their greed was their undoing; the criminals were massacred by the revolutionaries after they were discovered stealing rations. Hotak survived by being the one to report the activities of his previous comrades. As the war dragged on, Kyff became more bold and cruel in his revolutionary activities. He frequently engaged in assassinations, massacres, and false flag operations to crush the monarchists’ morale. Hotak was soon feared by his comrades and hated by his enemies. To him, everything was permissible to achieve victory. Impressed by the victories of the Hadii faction, he joined them as part of the early Ha'narr Corps.

The interwar period was fairly unremarkable for Kyff Hotak; he was given a low-ranking office position in the intelligence department. While Hotak advocated for the recreation of a force similar to the Mountain Ghost Corps, his request was ignored by the Hadiist high command. Memories of his excess in the First Revolution stopped Hotak from receiving any further promotions. He grew discontent with the People’s Republic, believing that he deserved more for his service. Seeing Nated's coup as an opportunity to rise to power, Kyff defected to the Liberation Army without hesitation.

Hotak organized his own unit of commando early into the war; a battalion trained in stealth operations. As a major proponent of irregular warfare, he also helped organize guerilla cells and coordinate terrorist attacks. The success of these groups granted him enough influence to become one of Nated's right-hand men. However, Commander Kyff quickly returned to his old ways; he started to wage a campaign of unrestrained terror. The presence of his soldiers became a harbinger of indiscriminate persecution, murder, excessive property requisition, and collective punishment against any community suspected of working with the enemy. Despite the protest of the civilian population and Commander Kahan, Halkiikijr refused to replace Kyff. Taking advantage of his reputation, Hotak ordered his Tajara to spread stories of him being the earthly manifestation of Messa's wrath. This tactic proved to be effective both among his enemies and allies.

Commander Kyff Hotak remains in service even after the armistice. Many within the army and the civilian administration desire to see Hotak punished for his war crimes, but Supreme Commander Nated continues to protect him. Kyff is a hardline supporter of the more authoritarian elements in the government and desires a strong centralized leadership above all else. He and Commander Hro'rammhad are rivals; both Tajara commonly fight each other over which direction the Liberation Army should go. Hotak is always accompanied by his pet [[Adhomai#Farwa (Tree-Hopper)|Farwa]], Ghiyath.

What little is known from Kyff's personal life does not paint a picture much different from his time in the army. Cold, ambitious, and cruel are some of the terms commonly used to describe Hotak. For him, other people are merely stepping stones on his path to power. To maintain his mythical image as Messa's wrath, he avoids any kind of social interaction with anyone outside of his inner circle. Kyff is a famous animal lover - besides his Farwa, he is also the proud owner of several domesticated Ha'rrons.

===President Almrah Harrlala===
[[File:harrlala portrait.png|200px|thumb|left|A portrait of the president during one of her speeches, done in 2461.]]
President Almrah Harrlala was born in '''2426''' to a family of Hharar factory workers in Shastar City. While her childhood was relatively unaffected by the First Revolution, she enjoyed many of the benefits brought by the People’s Republic during the interwar period. Being the first member of her household to receive a proper education, she became involved in the Party’s politics at a considerable young age. She believed that a stable democracy built upon the will of the people was the best path for Adhomai. She was also wary of the presence of megacorporations on the planet, considering their activities as harmful to the development of the Tajara species She campaigned for more worker’s rights and laws restricting corporation’s activities in the PRA. Almrah held a position within the Party until the ascension of President Njadrasanukii Hadii; he ordered the arrest of Harrlala due to her views.

Harrlala was held prisoner in Shastar during the first moments of the Civil war, only the capture of the city by the Liberation Army saved her from being transferred to another location. Hoping to continue her career in politics, she aligned herself with the rebels. Even if the despotic and extremist tendencies of the ALA worried Almrah, she held to Nated's promise of saving the Republic. She was given the position of Provisional Minister of Civil Rights when the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai was established.

As the Minister of Civil Rights, Almrah worked to protect the regional identities present in the DPRA. Her campaign to end military rule over the country while still upholding the principles of Al’mariism made her a popular figure among the moderate sectors of the population. Seeking to expand her political influence, she founded the National Adhomai Worker's Party. She was one of the candidates in the presidential elections of '''2460'''; she won the office of president by a narrow margin. President Harrlala’s ascension to power displeased the authoritarian wing of the Liberation Army, the military then planned a coup to restore their own rule. The putsch was stopped by the intervention of Supreme Commander Nated, who later resigned from his position to grant more powers to the civilian administration.

Following the Armistice, President Almrah Harrlala continued with her internal policies while maintaining a strong stance against foreign dominance. Under her rule, schools to preserve local cultures and languages were established, Gakal’zaal was liberated from the Unathi rule, and the DPRA developed its nuclear program. Her status as one of the first female rulers in modern Tajaran history has inspired many women to engage in DPRA politics. However, her regime is plagued with deep issues. The ghost of separatism lingers over the nation after the Amohdan attempt to secede. Her ability to reconcile the various factions in the government was severely doubted when she failed to draw a plan to handle the rebellious island. Since the return of Halkiikijr to power, the authoritarian elements see this as a moment of weakness in the young Republic. President Harrlala must be ready to face further opposition if she wants to see her vision of Adhomai come to life.

Often described as patient and focused, President Almrah Harrlala is not easily dissuaded from pursuing her objectives. When faced with hardship, she prefers to withstand the storm while continuing to work on her projects. Alongside her hectic political career, Almrah leads a modest life without much excitement or luxuries. In her sparse free time, she enjoys playing Mahmrro and visiting Das'nrra's countryside.

===Ex-interim President Brajrr Alnadruskiy===

Born in '''2423''' in the city of Mztel’mir, Brajjr Alnadruskiy was the youngest child of a family of brewers. He later joined the Republican Army at 17 years old, slowly climbed the ranks through diligent service to the military. Brajrr attributed the prosperity of interwar Adhomai to the strong leadership of President Al’mari; he believed that the Republic always needed a strongman in control to succeed. He severely doubted Malik’s competence because of his decision to undo his brother’s reform.

Brajrr finally rose to prominence with Nated's coup. Upon hearing of the revolution, he rallied the Liberation Army’s aligned troops in Das’nrra to assault Shastar. Alnadruskiy's attack was successful and he was named the Rrhaza-Akhran of the city. Shastar became the headquarter of the ALA, giving Brajrr a reasonable amount of influence within the army high command. He was known for his rigorous discipline and unforgiving nature. Many war prisoners were forced into labor by his orders. Brajrr was given the position of Interim President when the Democratic People’s Republic was created.

Alnadruskiy ran for president in the 2460 elections, seeking to centralize the nation and maintain the Army’s sway over the government. He founded the Free Tajaran People’s Party, gathering the most authoritarian elements in the Republic. After Almrah Harrlala’s victory by a narrow margin, he took part in the putsch against the newly elected president. Despite the defeat of the mutiny, Brajrr managed to convince Halkiikijr that he was forced by the extremists to join them. He was released and allowed to return to politics.

Ex-interim President Brajjr Alnadruskiy now leads the opposition to Harrlala’s regime. He continues to support a centralized state under the leadership of Supreme Commander Nated. Even when the successes of the current administration displease him, their latest crisis has given him enough to challenge Almrah. The return of Halkiikijr to the control of the Army is also considered a victory for him and his followers. Alnadruskiy awaits for the right moment of weakness to retake control of the DPRA.

Brajrr Alnadruskiy is notorious for his unforgiving and rigid personality. He never forgets or forgives any wrongdoing, no matter how small. Brajrr has a large collection of grudges - he diligently waits for the opportunity to exact revenge upon those who wronged him. Alnadruskiy is also unreasonably stubborn; he rarely takes other points of view in his decisions. The Ex-interim President is a compulsive and skilled gambler; his favorite game is Suns and Moon.

===Maksym Razin===

Born in 2423 to a family of M'sai foresters in Southern Ras'nrr, Maksym was raised in a deeply religious household. As a follower of Mata'ke, he spent his youth learning the skills necessary to become a hunter. At the age of 25, he joined the Priesthood of Mata'ke after hunting an exceptionally large, Tajara-eating Ha'rron who was terrorizing the region. Maksym became a firebrand priest who preached against the alien presence in Adhomai. He supporter Al'mari late policies as a sign of an inevitable religious revival. Razin's service was cut short because of the outbreak of the Second Revolution.

Deeming Njadrasanukii's rule to be an active danger to the Ma'ta'ke faith, Maksym joined the Liberation Army. In Supreme Commander Nated, he saw the very image of Mata'ke - a Tajara sent by the Gods to defeat the enemies of Adhomai despite overwhelming odds. Thanks to the usefulness of his skill as a hunter in guerilla warfare, Razin quickly climbed the ranks; in a matter of time, he became the Rrhaza-Akhran of Mezuma. He was known for making extensive use of ambushes and traps. During his time in the liberation arm, Razin was an avid supporter of Hotak. After the failed putsch of 2461, Maksym followed Nated's example and stood down as a junta leader.

As a member of the Followers of Nated, Maksym Razin was elected to be a representative in the National Assembly. In his time in politics, Razin became acquit In the 2464 elections, he was chosen to be the candidate for the presidency. With or without the approval of Commander Nated, he now plans to turn the Democratic People's Republic into a holy realm free of the Alien influence; a nation guided by the wills of the Gods. Maksym is not afraid of doing whatever it might take to ensure the triumph of Theocratic Natediism. He firmly believes that Nated will return to the leadership of the DPRA after his followers have seized the government.

Maksym is a notorious thrill seeker; no challenge is too small for him. His trophy wall is covered with all types of Adhomian animals. His bravery is only matched by his zealotry; Razin's faith plays a central role in his life. He rarely takes any meaningful decision without consulting the Gods through rituals or before saying a prayer.

===Bakhteiarova Mirzakhani===

Born in 2435 on a small farm in Northern Ras'nrr, Bakhteiarova was likely destined to spend her life as a mere farmer. Destiny was abruptly changed with the assassination of President Al'marii. As a Zhan-Khazan, she saw her family join Nated's side due to the discrimination of her people. While too young to take part in the revolution, she was old enough to understand what was to come. As the war dragged on, she witnessed the death of most of her relatives, the destruction of her land, and the nuclear strike at Quizosa.

Left without anything but scars, Bakhteiarova fled to Southern Ras'nrr as a refugee. There she became involved in the still young Ruralist cause. The memories of Hadiist war machines and the bomb were enough to convince her that the real culprit was modernity itself. Moved by a mixture of nostalgia for better times and a legit concern for Adhomai's environment, she became deeply involved in the movement. Thanks to her background and experiences, she was able to bridge the gap between the Ruralist and Environmentalists of the Adhomian Blue Party. She worked alongside the party's theorists to make sure that the Ruralist Experimental Farms were viable.

Mirzakhani was chosen as a candidate for the 2464 presidential elections by the Adhomian Blue Party. As a committed Ruralist, she is eager to implement their plan of returning to an idealized pre-industrial society. However, she recognizes that implementing such a project is impossible without reuniting Adhomai. Bakhteiarova may be willing to work with the rest of the DPRA to achieve the Al'mariist victory, but she has no interest in ever giving up her dream - an Adhomai free of the evils of modernity; an idyllic paradise the Tajara once held. Besides the other parties and candidates, her main political enemy is Ahem Kah'nrir, the warlord who continues to strangle her homeland.

Because of her upbringing, Bakhteiarova Mirzakhani enjoys the simple things in life. Listening to the folktales, taking care of her garden, and riding a Zhsram are among her favorite activities. Either because of her duties or some unknown personal reason, Bakhteiarova frequently appears to be tired. Rumors claim she has trouble sleeping and must make use of medicine to rest properly.

===Dr. Aleksandra Hro'makar===

The first and thus far only incident of weapons of mass destruction being employed on Adhomai happened in 2458, when the People’s Republic dropped a four-megaton nuclear bomb on the Liberation Army base in Quizosa. The death toll from the detonation was staggering, but the fallout from the bomb was carried on strong winds, leading to severe cases of radiation poisoning from the neighboring camps.

Tajara medical experience with radiation poisoning and the effects of nuclear bombs were practically non-existent. The only species in the galaxy that had the technology long before the Tajara were Xenos, and the Liberation Army did not have the luxury of free contact with extraplanetary forces. With the sick and dying mounting, a call for help was sent out to the surrounding territories. Many physicians and doctors made the long and difficult journey in the winter snows to help - at the forefront of them, Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar.

The effects of the bomb were catastrophic. Survivors were badly burned. Their fur fell out, never to grow back again - leaving them susceptible to Adhomai’s frigid temperatures. Their skin peeled off in sickly ribbons, hanging limply to the ground. Doctors were at a loss, with only a rudimentary understanding of what could have happened. Dr. Aleksandra took a sort of unofficial command of the medical effort, and coordinated efforts to assist the sick and dying.

Liberation-sympathetic Tajara, at her prodding, recovered as many documents as they could regarding the atom bomb from PRA-aligned holdings, downloading information from the extranet and thieving textbooks from high-security locations. Thanks to her ingenuity and leadership, the haphazard medical team of doctors saved a great many innocents from a slow, painful death - though they would have to live with the effects of the bomb for the rest of their lives. Dr. Aleksandra is widely known for her opposition to nuclear proliferation, due to her experiences, and has become the face of a growing anti-WMD movement across Ras’narr.

===Arzjun Haurjuhrl===

Rumors persist that Arzjun Haurjuhrl was sired out of wedlock, a result of an affair between a Zhan-Khazan mistress and a rebel leader. He was born in '''2427''' in the warmer regions near the city of Olska, and lived alone with his mother. He was scarcely a child when the war ended and the People’s Republic came to prominence. Both he and his mother suffered much in the way of discrimination - for being Zhan-Khazan as well as having a bastard child. This disconnect between what the People’s Republic promised and the way they were treated caused the young Arzjun to become disillusioned with the Republic.

He was further tested when his mother suddenly fell ill and died in the winter of 2445. With nothing left tying him down, abandoned as he had been by Adhomain society, he took what little funds they had been saving and paid a smuggler to carry him off-world. It took every penny but eventually, he found himself in Mendell City, carrying nothing but the clothes on his back. For a time, he lived on the streets, forced to beg to make ends meet. He soon found work at one of the shelters he had often stayed at. The community of Little Adhomai was more welcoming to him than the homeworld had been.

Deciding to pay back the kindness he received, he took part in many community outreach programs, including plays and dramas for the children of Little Adhomai. His passion for the arts as a medium of expression took root here, and his name rose to some prominence amongst the local Tajara population thanks to his charity work. He aspired to work on his own big picture and got his chance thanks to the collective donations of many Tajara. Wealthy Xenos also had an interest in seeing what the immigrant could do, though perhaps a few thought it would look good as a public relations move.

The script he wrote went through many revisions and sat for a good while before it was picked up by a studio. The community who had helped him before had done it once again; the surprise blockbuster When Summer Came to Nazira was one of the top ten highest-grossing films in Biesel history. Its anti-tyranny message was seen by some as an expression of the director’s own viewpoint on the People’s Republic. In some ways, they were correct - Arzjun is a quiet supporter of the DPRA, which has put him at odds with the Republican government. As a result, his film is banned from showing on Adhomai - though this has not stopped smuggled copies from being distributed amongst DPRA theaters.

==New Kingdom==

''"Loyal subjects, countrymen, brothers. It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that we must conscript from the provinces in order to maintain our fight in this war. However, you are not alone. Even as the new compulsory service legislature is passed, the aristocrats across the kingdom are likewise mobilized under a new service gentry system, so that all of the Kingdom is together in this struggle."''

''- King Vahzirathaamro Azunja, announcing the beginning of conscription and formalization of the service gentry in 2453.''

=== King Vahzirthaamro Azunja===
[[File:Azunja portrait.png|200px|thumb|left| A picture taken of King Vahzirthaamro Azunja, presenting his saber, circa 2450, the black ribbon marks his death.]]
King Azunja was born in 2400 in the city of Kaltir to the noble Njarir’Akhran Azunja line. His father was Farkhanzirhal and his mother Dramahdarmah. Located in the far reaches of Kaltir, the Azunja family line was one of compassion and fair treatment, as only in unity and brotherhood could they hope to survive the harsh far reaches of Northern Adhomai. Their peasants were kept well and treated with dignity, and the nobles, while privileged, never indulged in cruelty. A noble paige since the age of 10, Vahzirthaamro excelled in reading and writing from an early age. He prepared to inherit the family throne as the sole son of his parents until the first civil war of Adhomai ignited in 2421.

When war broke out between the nobility and peasants, house Azunja was hesitant to pick sides, as they disagreed with the morals of both sides. Their distant position in the wild made them capable of ignoring the war until its end, as the Hadii family was placed at the head of Adhomai in 2432. Carrying the flags of the newly founded People's Republic of Adhomai, the Republic's army demanded the surrender of all nobility in Kaltir. The entire populace requested to be left in peace, as the peasantry and nobility there had never declared war on one another. Believing the peasants were utterly spineless and brainwashed, the People's Republic executed all current nobles ruthlessly, scattering the royalty of the region. Vahzirthaamro was placed in prison by his father's retinue of intellectuals, who declared he had to remain hidden amongst the lowest of the low if he wished to stay alive. From that moment on, Vahzirthaamro Azunja knew that peace was impossible so long as a compromise was not made, and a true constitutional monarchy was made the unanimous government on Adhomai.

Word passed amongst the Tajara at the work camps about the possibility that Vahzirthaamro still lived as many pre-war intellectuals gathered with him in private. They spun every possibility of a government, even discussing adopting human political systems as they gathered workers, fighters, poets, and philosophers to form an organized nation as they spread their ideas to the guards of the facility, a majority of which who were old peasants under the Azunja family who thought the entirety of the nobility had been executed. Delighted to see his return, they joined his side and swore allegiance to his family once more.

In 2449, in the middle of the night, Vahzirthaamro was released in secret along with the entirety of his retinue, as they quickly spread from town to town, asking for assistance from newly appointed officials and workers. Before long, the reminiscent families of the Kaltir region were happy to rejoin their flock. By 2450 his claim to rule had spread to all of Northern Harr'masir, and the New Kingdom of Adhomai officially seceded as an independent nation under the newly declared King Vahzirthaamro Azunja. He then led the Kingdom for the next decade, managing the balance between the different factions within the government and the ongoing war. Vahzirthaamro became a unifying figure for the population. After successfully securing Kaltir's ancient lands and negotiating the armistice that brought the end to the war, King Vahzirthaamro passed away in 2463. His niece, Shumaila Azunja, inherited his throne.

===Queen Shumaila Azunja===

[[File:Shumaila portrait.png|200px|thumb|right| A portrait done of Queen Shumaila Azunja, holding the ceremonial orr'bu s'rrendar, circa 2460.]]
Shumaila Azunja was born in 2431 in Northern Harr’smirr, as the daughter of one of the kingdom’s princes. She survived the Republican slaughter by being hidden away among the peasantry, raised in secret by individuals still loyal to the old ruling dynasty. From a young age, Shumaila began to participate in secretive royalist circles within Kaltir. Here, she began her service to the kingdom by helping distribute leaflets proclaiming the coming of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. When the uprising broke out in 2450, she joined the new Imperial Adhomian Army. Shumaila then rose through the officer ranks quickly, becoming a commander in the Jabrut Almumalik and establishing a name for herself on the front.

Many of those who served under Shumaila describe her as being a woman of unbreakable will, never faltering as casualties stacked or as barrages shattered the ground around her. Some even say she wouldn’t even blink at the sight of the PRA’s dreaded tanks rolling towards the lines. For her exploits in the war’s 2459 offensive and the defense of the Vlrralkhzazhul line, Shumaila came to be known as “The Storm of Harr’smir”, matching her iron will with a burning fury to destroy the kingdom’s enemies.

In 2460, after meeting with several prospective heirs, King Vahzirthaamro had chosen his niece Shumaila to serve as the Crown Heir. Although the majority supported this decision alongside most of Parliament and the nobility, a large fraction remained wary of the decision of a military leader over other options. However, this opposition has shrunk over the past few years. Shumaila remains strong on her position of expanding the military, but she has also spoken about increasing ties to the galaxy’s Megacorporations to modernize the New Kingdom. Nor has she made any comments regarding changing the democratic systems of Parliament and the Chamber. Coupled with her public appearances and active presence in the newspapers, many woes and worries of her ascension have been dissuaded.

Since entering the public eye in 2459, Shumaila enjoys much support from the women of Kaltir. Many look to her as an inspiration, buying “military” style jackets to emulate her look, given that Shumaila became one of the few Tajara women to lead a nation. However, this fame has also led to calls from the nobility and her family to choose a husband. Shumaila retains that her marriage comes after her coronation. She was finally crowned in 2463 after King Azunja passed away. Outside of continuing her uncle's legacy, her plans to the Kingdom are still unclear to the wide public

Often called headstrong, Queen Shumaila's personality is very different from her predecessor. She appears calm and resolute during her public apparitions, however, rumors claim that she has frequent bouts of rage while in private. During her free time, Shumaila enjoys collecting and riding cars, playing Traiaz, and hunting. She has shown little to no interest in arranging a marriage to secure a direct heir.

[[File:Marshal portrait.png|200px|thumb|left| A portrait of Field-Marshal Zarkradar'Akhan, circa 2420.]]
===Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan===

Rrhazhal was born in '2380 to the noble Njarir’Akhran Zarkradar'Akhan line, however, he was a legitimized bastard of a Zhan-Kazan maid. As the youngest of his brothers, Rrhazhal was sent into the service of the Azunja family as King Farkhanzirhal Azunja's servant at the age of 10. King Azunja noticed the young child had a talent for philosophy and strategy. The two had many intellectual discussions together as Rrhazhal quickly became a trusted advisor of King Farkhanzirhal by the time he was 20. At this time, King Azunja decided he trusted Rrhazhal with protecting the life of the newly born Vahzirthaamro. On the eve of the First Civil War, Rrhazhal was tasked with training the peasantry of Kaltir in order to defend their fiefdom and nobility against attackers. When Kaltir was annexed by the People's Republic of Adhomai in 2432, Farkhanzirhal frenziedly ordered Rrhazhal to hide Vahzirthaamro before People's Republic soldiers stormed the palace, killing almost everyone. From then on Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan personally accompanied Vahzirthaamro Azunja as his protector and chief advisor.

In 2450, once the New Kingdom had officially declared independence from the People's Republic of Adhomai, Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan was promoted to the rank of Field-Marshal personally by King Azunja, and today oversees all military operations inside of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Respected for his tactical skill but notorious for his radical belief that a compromise is not possible and a complete return to the old nobility is Adhomai's only option for peace, Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan is one of the oldest fighting nobles left on Adhomai.

Rrhazhal is old-fashioned, methodic, and extremely loyal. Accustomed to the strict military life, the Marshal rarely deviates from his routine. Zarkradar'Akhan is notorious for his lack of sense of humor. Rrhazhal's sharp mind has begun to show the signs of his age after the death of King Azunja; the marshal sometimes forgets details and has trouble remembering his previous orders. In his sparse free time, Rrhazhal enjoys practicing wood carving.

===Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas===
[[File:dynhaas portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A commissioned portrait of Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas from his book cover, done in 2463.]]
Hailing from a royal cadet line and born in 2402, Dynhaas followed his father and brothers to join the Das’nrra Empire’s navy at a young age. When the First Revolution came, naval losses coupled with the rebel conquest of Das’nnra resulted in Dynhaas, the last man left of his line, surrendering and being imprisoned. With the war’s end in 2432, Dynhaas was offered a pardon by the Party in exchange for developing the Republican Navy. He would come to accept this over the alternative of death.

Accepting his defeat and believing that the age of nobility came to an end, Dynhaas came to view the Republican Navy as his new purpose in life. He worked to advance it alongside other pardoned nobles and founded the Oceanmasters Lounge, a private club within the naval officer corps. This path in life would change with the announcement of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Believing that a way to restore the old glory days of kingdoms laid with the NKA, Dynhaas began to plan a revolt. Partnering with other sympathetic admirals, he had the Republican Navy’s Grand Admiral and several other loyalists killed on a fateful night at the Shastar Naval Base before fleeing eastwards in 2450. In the same year that the New Kingdom was declared, Dynhaas delivered them the strongest naval force Adhomai had ever seen. King Azunja had declared him the Kingdom’s Grand Admiral shortly after meeting with Dynhaas in Miran’mir.

With the Republican Navy's command almost crippled and the ALA unable to compete with their dominance of the sea, Dynhaas used his fleets during the war to support and supply the Royal Army while helping smash the enemies of the New Kingdom. The artillery barrages of his ships were important in coastal battles during the NKA's offensives while their supremacy saved the Royal Marines from certain destruction following the failed Ras'nrr expedition. The prestige of his position made Dynhaas an instant celebrity in the NKA as well. Many propaganda reels and photos showed him as a majestic lord of the sea, something he capitalized on heavily to present himself as the very pinnacle of noble glory. Always well-groomed, well-dressed, and impeccable at talking despite whatever circumstances he was in, Dynhaas never passed the opportunity to host an interview. Most notable was Dynhaas' interview on his opinions of xenos of the S'rand’marr coalition, conducted on his capital vessel while it sieged Nal'tor in the final stages of the war. His statements on Unathi and Skrell were less than positive. After the expulsion of the People's Republic from Harr'masir in 2461, Admiral Mahtra infamously ordered the Royal Navy to engage in an unrestricted bombardment campaign of the eastern Hadiist coast. Cities and villages were targets of frequent naval artillery strikes; the battleships shelled military and civilian targets indiscriminately. The Navy infamously used incendiary shells during these attacks, causing entire neighborhoods to be engulfed in firestorms.

Post-war, Dynhaas went on several speaking tours in the first year of the armistice. Traveling from city to city, his public events were used to promote his upcoming biography and drew crowds in the tens of thousands. Politically, he maintains that the future of the NKA always lies within the navy, and that the industry of the New Kingdom must always retain a heavy focus on their shipyards. Dynhaas has also been vocal in his beliefs of a stronger monarch, often using the emergency powers King Azunja had as an example of the strong benefits that could come with such. He is yet to comment at all on his supposed rival, Mira'zkui, at all.

Mahtra is an infamous glory hound; his boisterous and prideful personality is often the source of much interpersonal conflict. Dynhaas can not go long without telling war stories or exalting his actions during the previous conflict. Among the Royalists circles, the Grand Admiral is either loved or hated. Mahtra is never seen out of his fancy dress uniform adorned by a large roll of medals.

===Grand Duke Akym Yudenikh===

Born in the Das'nrra Empire to a noble family in 2412, Akym Yudenikh survived the First Revolution by escaping to Northern Harr'masir and hiding his identity. After the Hadiist occupation of the Kingdom of Kaltir, Yudenikh joined the People's Republic bureaucracy; he became responsible for the administration of the local rail system. Akym was infamous for his corruption; he frequently sold permits, disregarded contraband reports, and accepted bribes.

Because of his background, Akym was contacted by the underground royalist movement. He quickly became one of the main supporters of the group; he used his position within the Hadiist government to secure supplies and funding for the incoming uprising. Weapons, machinery, and ammunition were diverted to the Royalist cells. Akym was awarded the title of baron, a seat in the parliament, and some land confiscated from the People's Republic when Vahzirthaamro returned. However, his ambitions did not stop there. Using the money made from his time as a Republican bureaucracy, alongside whatever profit he could extract from his new holdings, Yudenikh continued to acquire more estate. Newly liberated farms were sold to him at a meager price thanks to his connections within the government. In a question of years, he became a Grand Duke and one of the major landowners of the New Kingdom. Akym controversially used prisoners of war as workers in his plantations during the Second Revolution as part of deals with the military.

Following the Armistice, Akym Yudenikh now leads the Royalist Party; his main mission is to maintain the status quo. The continuation of the constitutional monarchy and the privileges of the nobility align perfectly with his interests. He is one of the major supporters of further deals with megacorporations. Grand Duke Akym is not afraid to use his position to protect his interest in the parliament. Under his vision, prosperity for the New Kingdom means more power and wealth to its elite.

While Akym might appear friendly and easygoing at the first sight, this facade hides treacherous tendencies. The Grand Duke only keeps a secret if it benefits him directly; anything else is fair game in the social game of the New Kingdom's nobility. Thanks to this behavior, Yudenikh has his clique of noble friends who frequently support each other in political and personal affairs. As a lover of the finer things in life, the Grand Duke likes to hold feasts, bet on Zhsram races, and collect bottles of Nm'shaan Liquor.

===Prince Serhiy Oliinyk===

Born as the third son to a family of Njarir'Akhran in 2434, Serhiy Oliinyk's life was profoundly affected by events over which he had no control. Raised in a household of avid royalists supporters, Serhiy was exposed to his parents' ideology since his youth. However, the boy had his reservations in regards to the possible return of the monarchy; he doubted that they could truly avoid the mistakes of the past. For his support during the uprising in Northern Harr'masir, the patriarchy of the Oliinyk family was given a seat in the parliament, a title of nobility, and a modest tract of land. Serhiy mistakenly believed that he could escape his bloodline's obligation thanks to his status as the third child. He already had a passion in his life: playing the P'rrama.

The war was cruel to the Oliinyk. Serhiy's brothers were killed while serving the army. This put him in an uneasy position as the heir of a parliamentary seat. The growing debt forced his father to sell whatever land they had left; the Oliinyk had officially joined the ranks of landless nobility. The final blow came in 2459 with the bombing of the Parliament; Serhiy inherited his progenitor's seat after his demise in the attack. The young musician was thrown into the midst of the New Kingdom's politics. Influenced by his social status and beliefs, he aligned himself to the Commoners Party.

If he is truly unable to escape his fate, Prince Serhiy decided to make the best out of it. Because of his age and a family full of martyrs, Serhiy became the Commoners Party's main spokesperson. Convincing the Queen to support the Populists will not be easy; the Conservatives and Absolutists are far more powerful and influential. A powerful strategy is necessary to guarantee the Commoners Party triumph in the parliament. Serhiy plans to retire from politics after the hereditary parliamentary positions are abolished and the Kingdom is fairer to its population. He hopes to return to his greatest passion: music.

Prince Oliinyk is a reserved person who prefers the company of his few trusted friends to the parties and neverending social schemes of the New Kingdom. Serhiy tries his hardest to separate his role in the parliament from his private life; he relies mostly on political alliances instead of his friendships to gather support. Besides his passion for music, Oliinyk enjoys frequenting Kaltir's theaters.

===Count Tscherim Sanguszkho===

Hailing from a cadet house of the Rrhakaslov dynasty, Tscherim Sanguszkho was born in 2433 shortly after his family escaped to Kaltir to avoid the First Revolution's massacres. He was raised on a small farm frequented by disposed nobles and royalist sympathizers. Sheltered from the rest of Adhomai, he grew only knowing the world only through the nostalgic tales of pre-contact Njarir'Akhran, The Sanguszkho family was quick to offer their support to King Azunja when he returned; the Tscherim's father was given a seat in the parliament. Tscherim became a low-ranking officer in the army.

Tscherim Sanguszkho's military career came to an end in 2460 when he was gravely wounded in combat. Taking advantage of his pension and family's position, Tscherim spent the next years in gentlemen's clubs. In these places, he entered into contact with radical Absolute Royalists and became deeply interested in [[Tajaran Minor Religions#Ancient Tajara Theory|esoteric beliefs]]. Tscherim founded his organization in 2462: the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity. Drawing inspiration from the stories of an idealized pre-First Contact society, the ideology known as Revival Royalism was born from the Fraternity's meetings. Posing as a regular club, Tscherim was able to introduce other nobles to his ideals. Knowing that the task of enforcing the old order was not an easy one, Sanguszkho chose a common enemy to unite the kingdom against: the Tajara of mixed heritage.

Tscherim's plan came to fruition when his father died in a car accident in 2463; he inherited a landed title, a state, and a seat in the Parliament. Shortly after, the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity opened its membership to the public and made its intentions clear. Thanks to a deal with the Officers and Royal parties, the Fraternity became the fourth faction in the Parliament. Despite being the leader of the smallest Party, Count Tscherim has already begun to plot to slowly introduce his ideology into the New Kingdom.

Tscherim is commonly described as eccentric, volatile, and intelligent. The Count is prone to descend into long, grandstanding rants - for every subject, he has a strong opinion that is bound to divide the room he is in. Sanguszkho's demagogic tendencies have earned him a fair share of allies and enemies. Aside from his interest in esoteric ideas, Tscherim is a heavy drinker who frequently visits all kinds of pubs.

===Ser Mrakhanjurl Ii'rka===

Mrakhanjurl was born in 2422 in a Zhan-Khazan family in a small village outside Olska. He received little education nor traveled far outside his village. As soon as he came of age at 16 he joined the rest of the village mining bauxite ore to be shipped to Olska to make aluminum. He eventually lost both parents to lung cancer from the mine's poor ventilation before he was 23. In 2452, when he was 29, he traveled with a dozen other Zhan-Khazan miners several miles to Olska to join a protest against the new legislation of President Hadii that was meant to crack down 'subversive elements' that many felt were unfair to Zhan-Khazan. The army was called in and brutally repressed the demonstration, which saw Mrakhanjurl narrowly escape with his life. He returned to his village to find that it had been torched by the republican army for housing subversive agitators.

Mrakhanjurl mourned the loss of his village and was picked up by rebel militia, who revealed that they had managed to provide early warning to the village and evacuate over a dozen people, but the army had managed to find and kill all but a handful of survivors. In gratitude for the rebels dying for his village, and to avenge the deaths, Mrakhanjurl joined the armed resistance that eventually joined itself under the New Kingdom of Adhomai. In a very short few years became a remarkable marksman, gaining the most recorded kills of any Tajara sniper. Current New Kingdom estimates put Mrakhanjurl's kill count at 285, 32 of those enemy PRA snipers.

Mrakhanjurl also managed to evacuate countless civilians from Republic territory to northern New Kingdom holdings. During the famous ''Rout of the 2nd Battalion'', in which New Kingdom defenders unsuccessfully attempted to prevent Republican forces from capturing Baltor, Mrakhanjurl assumed command of the 4th Company after both its leading officers had been killed by sniper fire. Despite a serious gunshot wound to the leg Mrakhanjurl began shouting orders and rallied the shattered defenders, who were the last line of defense between the advancing Republic forces and thousands of refugees attempting to flee the city. The ''Rally of the 4th Company'' on 2456 successfully managed to delay advancing Republic troops long enough for thousands of more refugees to escape into New Kingdom territory who would otherwise face atrocity.

For his bravery and growing fame (which was now considered too important to risk in the war effort), Mrakhanjurl was given the Order of the Victorious Sun, the highest honor in the New Kingdom, as well as being the first Zhan-Khazan in history to be given the noble rank of Ser. He remains a hero to the Zhan-Khazan and the New Kingdom.

===King of the Mountains Rustam Harmaliik===
[[File:harmaliik portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the king in his riding regalia, done in 2454.]]
Rustam Harmaliik was born in 2427 as the son of a deposed Njarir'Akhran noble family. He spent most of his youth in the rural region of Harr'masir, where he had contact with some groups of Rhazar'Hrujmagh that inhabited the region. As an adult, he found employment in law enforcement and was sent by the People’s Republic to support the efforts to settle the rock nomads of the Harr’masir region in 2448 as a Republican official.

While working alongside the authorities to make sure that the nomadic Zhan would accept and adopt a sedentary lifestyle, Rustam grew more interested in their culture and became skeptical of the Hadii’s regime and how they were treating the Rock Nomads. Unrest among the Rhazar'Hrujmagh soon followed, and Rustam would try to offer his support in any way possible, such as sabotaging equipment shipment or relaying misleading intelligence. The government soon realized his treason, forcing Rustam to abandon his post and escape into the wilderness.

Rustam found shelter among a caravan of the Rhazar'Hrujmagh, and soon adopted their way of life. Unrest and resistance continued among the rock nomads, and Harmaliik joined their struggle against the People’s Republic. With the New Kingdom’s rebellion, the control of the region waned and the Republican efforts shifted to other problems, which allowed the nomad resistance to blossom into guerrilla warfare. Rustam climbed the ranks of his caravan’s forces, winning prestige and favor by leading them against the Republican forces.

The second revolution happened, and the Rhazar'Hrujmagh resistance continued. Rustam assumed the leadership of his adopted caravan and aimed to acquire more support among the other Rock Nomads. Through the years of the conflict, he gathered more men and wagons under his command, through diplomacy or conquest, but limiting himself to defensive tactics, ambushes, and raids. The political stance of Harmaliik has always been one of neutrality in the conflict, never compromising fully with the Adhomai Liberation army, due to his Njarir’Akhran origins and monarchist sentiments, and never declaring any support to the New Kingdom, in fear of losing the trust of his fellow nomads,

Due to a republican offensive against the nomadic guerrillas in 2461, Rustam decided to declare himself the Almalik’Rhazar, a word roughly translated as "leader of the mountains", following an ancient nomadic tradition that allows the largely independent Rock Nomad caravans to elect a ruler among themselves. This decision alienated him from his ALA allies and the other nomads, forcing him to side with the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Harmaliik and his caravans have joined the kingdom war effort. He and his people were later granted the southeast territories of the New Kingdom for their support during the conflict.

===Brother Mikhail Ordau===
Little is known about Mikhail Oradu’s parentage. He was given to the Parivara at a very young age, left on the doorstep of Miran'mir's abbey. Thus the Family took him in as they do many small children, teaching him and educating him about S’rendarr and Messa. Mikhail was an accomplished writer for his age, but a speech impediment left him at a disadvantage when it came to oral presentations. The boy was known to be bookish, and spent much of his free time in the abbey’s library as well as its restricted section, thanks to his close friendship with the abbot.

He had an unusual interest in the sciences for a clergyman. As the Second Revolution loomed ahead, and whispers of splitting from the Republic crept into the local city, he busied himself with reading and tending to the monastery’s garden. Eventually, Miran’mir and all of northern Harr’masir split from the Republic to form the New Kingdom. With the war came plenty of hardship, and the Priests of S’rendarr did their best to help alleviate the tragedy amongst the peasants.

With little farmable land and a severe manpower disadvantage, the New Kingdom struggled to provide for its people. Starvation was a very real threat, and the abbey’s garden was not sufficient. A conflicted Mikhail turned once again to the abbey’s library and science for an answer; and, as though a miracle from the Suns themselves, one came. He discovered an ancient text detailing breeding methods for slaves, from long before the First Revolution. Suggestions on how to pass on desirable traits and mannerisms; to breed subservience. Controversial, but an unknowing descriptor of genetics and hereditary traits.

It was armed with this knowledge that Mikhail set about breeding new plants. Earthen roots, dirt berries, and more were cultivated for generations by Mikhail, aiming to pass on traits like hardiness and vitality. The plants became much more accustomed to growing in harsh conditions thanks to his work, and as the New Kingdom pushed back the Republicans and gained more territory, these hardier plants were easier to grow in the shell-shocked muddy battlefields. The threat of starvation became less and less pressing as more and more farms could deal with the way the war affected the terrain. For his efforts, Brother Mikhail was afforded a personal audience with the King.

===Oleg Al'Mor===
Born Oleg Murkov Al-Al’Mori in 2400, Oleg was a teenager when humanity stumbled upon the Tajara. His simple life of working and indentured servitude was suddenly upended with the influx of new ideals; he and his family, along with a contingent of other refugees of war avoided the conflicts erupting across the planet by staying in the mountains of Northern Harr’masir. To pass the time and keep themselves entertained, the telling of fireside epics became common. Oleg was noted to be imaginative with his tales even then, regaling other Tajara with stories of war and love.

Eventually, however, the nomadic hunter-gatherer life in the mountains could no longer support their numbers, and Oleg’s group descended from their hiding place. By this point, rebel armies had mostly taken hold of Kal’tir and the surrounding areas, giving Oleg relative freedom. When the war finally came to an end in 2432, Oleg was well known as a traveling bard and performer who earned his living using his creative skills entertaining war-weary soldiers and newly freed slaves. The stability that came with the formation of the People’s Republic afforded Oleg the opportunity to settle down in Kal’tir once again, where he took an interest in the local theater scene.

His first play, The Jester’s End, pioneered the form of black comedy and was a throwback to the days of servitude. Over the course of his career in Kal’tir, Oleg penned many more plays under his pseudonym Oleg Al’Mor, out of fear of inviting reprisals from the People’s Republic. Oleg’s plays were often scandalous or controversial for challenging the traditional morality held by Tajara. However, as time went on, his works became formulaic and much less shocking, and thus by extension more palatable to the average Tajara. Black comedy found a good home amongst the countless war veterans of the First Revolution.

Oleg considered himself an intellectual, and when the New Kingdom of Adhomai split from the People’s Republic he was an outspoken supporter. He and his family had experienced the benefits of the old ways, and with his considerable wealth from play royalties, he financed the New Kingdom with donations. Sadly, Oleg Al’Mor passed away in December of 2460 after completing his final work. The play, titled A Maiden’s Voyage, was particularly well-received, with even the King himself getting a private showing. Many of his works are still performed in theaters all over the New Kingdom’s territory.

==Others==

===Father Valyan K'rrirran===

''"From the stars, he saw Adhomai's cities and mountains become nothing more than specks. When he beheld the planet from far away, he realized that it was a small dot within this vast new galaxy. It was then he saw how truly special our homeland and our people are."''

''-Father Valyan K'rrirran, written as the ending to the prologue in his novel "An Introduction to The Twin Suns", 2430.''

Born in 2406 to a family of merchants in Dras’nrra, Valyan chose to join the faith at a young age, and became a fully-fledged Priest of S'rendarr in the midst of the First Revolution. It was during this time that Valyan had also become one of the first few Tajara to leave Adhomai. Settling on Xanu Prime in 2426 and remaining there until the war’s end in 2431, Valyan provided much of the first glimpses into the theology of the Tajara during this time. He, later on, returned home after publishing his novel written in Tau Ceti Basic on the history of the S’rendarr and Messa. Following the Second Revolution, he had replaced Walid Al’qat as The Father of the Parivara after Al’qat died of heart failure. Since gaining his position in 2462 the new Father has already demonstrated to Adhomai that he is able to rise to the task of leading the Parivara. Alongside his archivers, he had revealed misinterpretations in the vows of the Suns Sisters and amended the Vow of Silence to the original Vow of Whispers.

The Father has kept this momentum of progress going forward. In the same year, he began to assist with several archeological digs across Adhomai to gather more information on not just the history of the Suns faith, but also of the Tajara people. Much of this collection is digitalized and shared through a newly developed site (Simply dubbed “Parivara and Tajara History.pra”.) made by an influx of well-educated acolytes. Now, any curious Tajara or alien can find a trove of information on the Parivara and new details on the species’ history. This mix of preserving old traditions alongside progressing aspects of the church has made Valyan popular among the younger generations of Tajara, kindling their interest in the faith.

However, Valyan is not free of controversy. Some conspiracy theorists believe that he could have had a hand in the death of the previous Father, citing the lack of provided medical care and the quick selection of Valyan as the new Father. Others point to his connection to the revitalized Kin of S’rendarr and believe him to be funding the Kin, supplying them with off-world equipment and arms to continue their war against whoever is deemed the faith’s enemy. Nonetheless, these are regarded as little more than baseless rumors by much of the population.

===Tufir Nazzirai===

Tufir Nazzirai forever changed Adhomai with six laser pistol shots in 2451. Very few details are known about the Zhan-Khazan. It is known that he was a member of the People's Strategic Intelligence Services where he served as a field agent. It is known that he was 26 when he carried out the assassination of Al'marii Hadii. It is known that he had used an energy pistol, an advanced and rare weapon for a Tajara on Adhomai. Any other records of him have been removed from archives in the PRA by the PSIS. Many believe that only the upper party will know the full truth of Tufir Nazzirai. Theories abound about the Tajara and his motives. Some think that he was a double agent working for the Sol SIIB, received his pistol from them, and killed Al'marii Hadii on their orders. Some think him to be a Crevan who killed Hadii for clamping down on his city's businesses and causing economic turmoil. Some point to him as a Zhan-Khazan frustrated with his people's suppression who had decided to take revenge on the man behind it all. If one was to ask a dozen Tajara about it they could receive a dozen different answers. The lack of clarity about Tufir, his motives, and swift hidden trial and execution opens itself to boundless theorization and propaganda usage.

Tufir's legacy is one that cannot be avoided. His name is associated with betrayal and disaster of the highest scale. The PRA maintains that he was a monstrous reactionary who had done the murder to try and end the dream of Hadiism and that his Zhan-Khazan genetics' contributed to his desire for murder. The Al'mariists see him as a corporate agent who killed Hadii for NanoTrasen after Al’marii pulled back on deals with the shadowy corporation. But, for some, Tufir Nazzirai became a martyr. Citizens of the NKA point to him as a hero, despite his position, for killing the man that founded the PRA. Conservatives in the DPRA hold similar views as Al'marii Hadii was the one who began the suppression of local cultures and religions. Zhan-Khazan groups will also claim him to be a hero of their people. But, no idols or statues for him exist anywhere on Adhomai and beyond. Every day Tufir as a person slips away further and further into legend and infamy.

===Crown Voices===
Crown Voices are an all-female Tajara singing group hailing from the NKA, they specialize in vocal jazz and classical performances. Due to this, they have performed alongside a variety of bands providing musical accompaniment with the longest-lasting being a Zhan group called "The Underclass Brass". While relatively unknown, the three members were lifted from the edge of poverty by Prince Serhiy Oliinyk, who saw potential in them. Their biggest performance was at the Kaltir Royal Theater, where they performed an album titled "Northern Frost", written by an anonymous writer.

The song was panned by royalist critics, accusing him of attempting to push "misguided Nateedist ideas calling them unity." Yasmin Piaf surprisingly also spoke out against the group, accusing them of being an obvious and cheap copy.

Still, the group reaped applause and general positivity from lower nobles and peasantry, establishing them as a popular band among the lower social strata.

====Masha Il-Azura====
Masha is a Hharar, born during the later inter-war era she was only a child when the war began. She, however, lived a relatively well-off life as her father was a lawyer, allowing her to get proper musical education and graduate with honors. She and her family funded the band's early endeavors and with her help, they were noticed by prince Oliinyk. She is very quiet off-stage and prefers to avoid any interviews or conferences, many question why she even decided to become a celebrity. She does, however, seem very at ease with the other band members and when performing.

====Ilvya Kolovova====
Ilvya is a Zhan-khazan, born during the middle of the inter-war period making her the oldest member of the band. She is also the shortest of the three, despite being a Zhan-khazan, making her quite an oddity. She makes up for this with her forward and aggressive personality, as she was raised alongside 6 brothers on the streets of Kaltir. She is also the only member of the group with performing experience, as she provided musical accompaniment in multiple late-night bars. Due to her small size, she has the highest-pitched voice of the trio.

====I’sha S’rremich====
I'sha is an oddity even in the band, born during the late inter-war period she is only slightly older than Il-Azura. Born to a dockworker, she spent most of her youth doing hard labor, the sea shanties she'd sing with her father are what eventually got her a well-off spot in a local bar. In this bar she would meet with Kolovova and eventually Il-Azura. She is cool, levelheaded, and slow to agitate, serving as the spokesperson and centerpiece of the trio. Her critics also describe her as ugly and boyish, as she refuses to wear a dress, on or off-stage, due to her rough upbringing.

===Rikdar Al'Manq===

Rikdar was born on '''2429''' the noble Njarir’Akhran Bayan line in Nal'Tor, with Bayan being his birth name. However, his parents were disappeared by Republic secret police in one of the frequent purges of Njarir’Akhran and he was put into state-run foster care. He has raised in the ''House Of Young Patriots'' orphanage until he was adopted at 14 to Hharar parents and took their last name of Al'Manq. As he was going to school his parents and teachers immediately took notice of his artistic abilities and interest in painting, which the orphanage had initially tried to discourage. In 2446, when he was 18, Rikdar won an art contest where he submitted a portrait of his Environmental Geology teacher and gained a prestigious scholarship in the Nal'Tor University of The Arts, a state-funded institution.

Rikdar attended the university for several years, though his studies were sometimes interrupted or delayed by the periodic waves of anti-Njarir’Akhran demonstrations and violence that gripped the campus. However, he quickly became a prodigy amongst his peers. Al'Manq's style of oil painting and doing portraits became a sensation in the capital, with the mayor and several city officials requesting their portraits done. Rikdar graduated from university at 20 years old in '''2450''' with a Bachelor of Arts. Having already received several high-profile commissions, including the then-President Al'Mari Hadii, whose portrait was done a week before his death. Al'Manq managed to survive the resulting chaos across Adhomai following the assassination of Al'Mari Hadii by the nature of his celebrity status, but his popularity remains confined within the major cities.

At only 29 years old in '''2458''' the ''Al'Manq Style'' has already become a famous style of painting across Adhomai. The Al'Manq Style is noted for its use of rich oil-based paint that focuses on portraits and profiles. The colors are often bold or show rich texture and color. The hands of Tajara are painted without being anatomically correct. Critics blast Al'Manq's apparent inability to draw hands correctly but Rikdar has stated that it's his personal style. This has influenced other artists, and many attempting to pay homage to Al'Manq draw hands as stubby. Rikdar remains extremely popular on Adhomai. The People's Republic remains a quiet supporter of his work, and state officials pay him handsome commissions for their portraits to be done, though they frown on him taking commissions from New Kingdom officials as well. The Adhomai Liberation Army has painted Rikdar as just another nobleman and several members of the Liberation Army have given open contempt for his work.

===Bloodstorm===

Bloodstorm is a famous and infamous DPRA Heavy Metal Band that has surged in popularity with the younger “denier” generation. Those in this generation are categorized not only by refusing the current status quo, but also have a general disdain towards a complete return to Tajara roots or liberalization through corporations. Fans of this band are usually punks, anarchists,s and jaywalkers. While the band mostly operated inside the DPRA, during one of their galactic tours their citizenships were revoked, making it impossible for them to return to Adhomai. They currently preside in Mendell City.

====Vargir Stenovich “Godslayer”====

The lead guitarist of the group, Vargir Stenovich is known as the spokesperson of the band and the most controversial figures. Admitting to being a Raskara cultist in public and calling out the Parivara on their “bedding with the government”. Vargir has been involved in numerous scandals including protesting military parades, playing one of his songs next to a work camp without permission, and lastly ingesting drugs on live television and proceeding to slander the ALA for bombing the NKA parliament.
[[File:Bloodstorm.png|200px|thumb|right|Photo of Al-Atil at the Mztel'Mir concert, "War Is Fuck, Let's Do It", circa 2459.]]

====Janos Al-Lung “Drowner”====

Janos is the bassist of Bloodstorm and the only band member without a criminal record. He has frequently butted heads with Stenovich over the political extremities the band goes through to discredit not only PRA and NKA but also DPRA. Janos Al-Lung is currently the only member of Bloodstorm that is trying to re-apply for a DPRA citizenship.

====Al-Atil Csihar “Nightmaster”====

The vocalist, Al-Atil, is known for his “mrowl”, a high, long, yelp that is recorded as the loudest sound produced by a Tajara. He loves to interact with the public and often stays behind on the podium to sign autographs and fans using black or red spray paint.

====Cecil Kernov “Bloodletter”====

Cecil is the Drummer and has actually served time, unlike the other band members. Kernov has his nickname for a reason as he’s been charged with armed assault during his youth, which is how he met with Vargir. Later in life, he was arrested again, after he had brutally assaulted a fan who had climbed on stage with a drum, getting it stuck on said Tajara’s head and pushing him off the stage with a dropkick. This led to multiple fractures and long-term disabilities for the fan.

====The Mist “Mih”====

A yet unknown band member by the public, “Mih” remains anonymous always wearing a mask in public and never speaking. He plays the P'rrama, an old Tajara string instrument, with 8 strings mirrored in a long horn-like pipe that extends to the ground which emits a loud, brass twanging noise described as an over-amped guitar. "Mih" has been under investigation multiple times, however, the enigmatic member always manages to avoid the authorities.

'''Most Notable Albums Include:'''

''The Freezing Blizzard'' - An early, human metal-inspired album. "The Mih" was not a member at this time and the music avoids political messaging, mostly focused on heavy guitar riffs.

''War Is Fuck, Let's Do It'' - The "central" album of the band that rocketed them to popularity. Its anti-war messages resonated with a lot of the younger audiences who were tired of the usual acoustic and traditional sorrowful performances, preferring this new aggressive style.

''If Messa Was Here She'd Be a Whore'' - A distinctly anti-Parivara album, attacking their behavior towards women and female priests. The Mih joins the band around this time, employing the now-iconic P'rrama. While initially released to negative reviews, it slowly became a fan favorite.

''We Live in a Society'' - A very hateful album, attacking every faction on Adhomai, including the human Sol and Nanotrasen and their presence there.

''Shell In, Spine Out'' - Another anti-war album, the band's first attempt to create a narrative album describing the life of a dying soldier. Received both negatively and positively by the fans.

''S'rrendar Loves You Except He Doesn't'' - The critique of Parivara escalates in this album, would remain unnotable if it wasn't for the recording of Cecil attacking a fan with the drum.

''If You're Old You Should Die'' - A call to arms, actively encouraging the younger generations to overthrow the current system and drag all the politicians down. For many, this was a return to form, but also most likely the album that led to Bloodstorm's exile from the DPRA.

[[Tajara|Tajaran]] history and society has a long list of notable individuals and heroes that are known across [[Adhomai]].

==People's Republic==

''"Comrades, in this struggle we fight to protect the progress we have fought so hard to make in the preceding decades. Our march forever onwards for a Hadiist society must not be stopped by the usurpers who would see us become a brutish military dictatorship, nor those fetid imperialists who would restore the atrocities of the old ways."''

''- President Njadrasanukii Hadii, in a televised address to the people in 2452.''
===President Njadrasanukii Hadii===

[[File:Hadii portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the president, done in 2460.]]
Njadrasanukii Hadii, also known as Malik Hadii, was born in '''2402''' to the noble Njarir'Akhran Hadii line. His mother was Rajjurl Hadii, and his father Tajrhalrr Hadii. He got involved with the military at an early age, becoming a cadet for the Royal Navy at 16 and achieving a commission as a Lieutenant-Commander at 22, and leading his own destroyer as a Captain at 29. During the revolution, he briefly fought for the loyalists but was recalled to the Hadii Citadel to help defend his family's ancestral home. Following the revolution and the Hadii's rise in the new Federal Republic, Njadrasanukii was given the office of Vice-President under his brother Al'Mari Hadii.

Malik assumed the presidency in '''2451''' after the assassination of Al'mari. He continued his brother's early agenda of collaborating with NanoTrasen and other galactic powers. Njadrasanukii purged any suspicious elements from his administration after the Nated's coup, consolidating his power through the imprisonment and execution of anyone that threatened his regime. Further authoritarian measures were established by him; the expansion of the secret police, the rapid industrialization of the PRA, and further persecution against those who did not conform to his policies. Under Malik Hadii's control, the current form of Hadiism took shape; an ideology focused on the creation of a monolithic Tajaran culture under the unquestionable guidance of the Hadii political line. The office of the president had its powers largely expanded under his rule, allowing Njadrasanukii to control all aspects of the People's Republic government. Total loyalty to Njadrasanukii is expected from all Party members.

A state-endorsed cult of personality has been established around President Hadii. Through a robust propaganda system, republican citizens are informed daily about Malik's achievements and how only through his guidance the Republican can prosper. Portraits of President Hadii can be found in most Hadiist homes and government buildings. Njadrasanukii is known for his speeches praising his own administration and the bravery of his people; his voice can be heard frequently on the radio. While many admire him as a strong leader, others fear his ruthless ways of dealing with the opposition.

President Hadii is famous for his extreme paranoia. Very few high-ranking members of the Party have direct access to him and little is known about his private life. He is constantly surrounded by hand-picked members of the secret service; those bodyguards are always under the risk of being purged for any reason. It is rumored that he has survived more than three hundred assassination attempts.

The few Tajara who had the opportunity to know President Hadii personally, portray him as energetic, charismatic, thoughtful, but deeply paranoid and vindictive. Njadrasanukii cultivates an image of a simple Tajara; he leads a frugal lifestyle with few material needs. Because of the nature of the PRA's government, President Hadii's work and private life are deeply entangled. President Hadii's favorite pastimes are watching movies, playing Farehal, and reading books; rumors claim that Njadrasanukii has at least 20,000 Tajaran and alien books in his private collection.

Despite the outcome of the Second revolution, Njadrasanukii continues to rule the People's Republic with an iron grip. He did not give up his plans of reestablishing Hadiist hegemony over Adhomai.

[[File:headmaster portrait.png|200px|thumb|left|A rare picture of the camera shy Tyr'adrr, taken during the closure of an illegal protest, dated to 2459.]]
===Headmaster Harrrdanim Tyr'adrr===

Harrrdanim was born in '''2425''' to a M'sai family serving the Hadii during the First Revolution. Wishing to follow in the footsteps of his parents, he joined the Hadiist Party at a young age. He soon caught the attention of the People's Strategic Intelligence Service due to his craftiness and was given a position in the agency. Despite enjoying moderate success during the late years of Al’mari’s rule, Tyr'adrr rose to prominence after the President’s assassination. Leading several purges within the secret service, he was able to secure a promotion as the Headmaster after the previous head was arrested for suspicious behavior. Under Tyr’addr’s control, the PSIS became the feared terror machine it is today. Heavy investments in surveillance technology, the establishment of a robust web of informants, and the large-scale repression of political opponents greatly weakened the opposition in the People’s Republic. His supposed adventures during this period have spawned an entire "spy thriller" genre in the Republic.

After helping secure President Hadii's rule, Headmaster Harrdanim focused his efforts on fighting the Liberation Army and the New Kingdom. Ruthless anti-partisan campaigns were carried out under his supervision. The displacement of Chaniska’s native population, scorched-earth tactics in Northern Ras'nrr, and the creation of Try'urma Penitentiary were among some of his orders during the conflict. His actions during the Second Revolution earned him the reputation of being merciless and bloodthirsty. In spite of several assassination attempts, ALA agents failed to murder him and he continued his reign of terror unimposed.

Even after the Armistice, Headmaster Harrdanim continues to work tirelessly to undermine the enemies of the Republic. He has a large interest in securing the Tajara population living outside of Adhomai and is responsible for the PSIS presence in District Six. He is eager to suggest more authoritarian solutions and believes in increasing, even more, the state’s control over the population. Because of the role of the Strategic Service in the government, Tyr'adrr is one of the most powerful and hated Tajara in the People's Republic. While seemingly loyal to President Hadii, many in the Party fear where Tyr'adrr's ambition might lead him.

Analytic, controlling, and cold are some of the words frequently used to describe Harrrdanim's personality. The headmaster is known to calculate every step on his way; he tries his hardest to manipulate the events in his favor. Tyr'adarr is also infamous for never assuming any kind of blame - a scapegoat, willingly or not, always shows up to take the fall. Thanks to his position in the government, little to nothing is known about his personal life.

===Party Secretary Yakiv Hadii===

Yakiv Hadii was born in '''2412''' as the second cousin to President Hadii. While too young to take part in the First Revolution, Yakiv joined the Hadiist Party as soon as he could. During Njadrasanukii’s rule, he excelled as a bureaucrat due to his organizational skills. He managed the distribution of land and the establishment of communal farms during the Republican Agrarian reforms. Through a combination of political maneuvers and nepotism, he quickly climbed the Party's ranks. Yakiv sought to further the Republican relationship with NanoTrasen, seeking their support for the development of Adhomai. This stance caused him to lose Al’mari’s favor during the years leading to the Second Revolution. He was then demoted to an unimportant position in the Ministry of Agriculture.

Yakiv returned to prominence after Rhagrrhuzau’s assassination; he was seen as a way to link Malik’s rule to his now-deceased brother. Following the abolishment of the office of vice-president, Yakiv was promoted as the Party Secretary by Njadrasanukii. He became responsible for the internal organization and reviewing applications to the Party; he was quick to remove many of his political opponents from power using his new powers. Known as unquestionably loyal to President Hadii, he became infamous for being nothing but a yes man. He continued his policy of maintaining good relations with megacorporations, lobbying for more deals with NanoTrasen. Countless Tajara were given the opportunity to leave Adhomai due to his efforts, most sold as cheap labor while some others were able to acquire higher education. During the final stages of the war, he was one of the main proponents of the need for foreign intervention to save the People's Republic.

After the Armistice, Yakiv remained as Party Secretary. He is one of the closest advisors to President Hadii, helping Malik in matters related to internal and external affairs. Despite being an orthodox Hadiist, he is eager to push for changes to appease NanoTrasen and other foreign powers in an attempt to gain their support. Many within the Party see Yakiv as a power-hungry and untrustworthy politician, eager to abuse his power to reach what he wants. Others recognize him as a cunning politician with a rather dangerous influence over President Hadii.

Yakiv Hadii is a notorious opportunist and sycophant; he is always trying to acquire any kind of leverage where it might exist. Personally, this means that Yakiv is more than eager to make friends with anyone of any importance. However, the friendship might come with strings attached: a request to repay a favor or take part in a shady business. Yakiv takes full advantage of his position within the Hadiist Party to indulge himself in all luxuries available to the political elite. Because of this lifestyle, Yakiv has become noticeably overweight.

===Minister of Defense Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar===

Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar was born into a Hharar peasant family in '''2428'''. He was raised around veterans of the first revolution and was always interested in their stories. Owing to the new opportunities brought by the People’s Republic, Irbaykhan enrolled in a military academy and joined the Grand People's Army as an officer. He survived the purges of the early Hadiist government because of his political reliability; as he was one of the first army leaders to support President Hadii during his ascension. This left him in the privileged situation of being one of the few properly trained officers at the dawn of the Nated’s coup.

Irbaykhan quickly climbed the ranks of the Republican Army during the Second Revolution. Making extensive use of artillery and motorized troops, he secured early victories that gave much-needed breathing room to the fragile Republic. While in command of the Dymtris Front in '''2456''', he pushed the New Kingdom into the defensive position that they would remain in until the very end of the war. Mirarkiizar’s final promotion during the conflict was to the theater commander of the Rass’nrr Military District. With the help of the alien allies of the Republic, he managed to recapture the main region of the continent. He was given a seat in the Ministry of Defense after the Armistice, working alongside the upper echelons of the Party to refine the Republic’s strategy.

Unlike most members of the Ministry of Defense, Irbaykhan has both political connections and practical experience in the field. This combination has made him one of President Hadii’s closest advisors in regard to military matters. Currently, he is responsible for the Hro'zamal campaign. Mirarkiizar sees the Grand People's Army as an essential component of the Hadiist state; the ever-vigilant guardian of the Republic against its enemies. The Minister believes that strict discipline and union towards a common goal is the best way to safeguard the future of the People’s Republic.

Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar is known for his disciplined and simple lifestyle. The Minister is very strict with his routine and commonly scolds Party members, other generals, and his family for being what he would call undisciplined. Irbaykhan is well-known for his unquestionable loyalty; he would prefer death over treason. He is only seen out of uniform when fishing - Irbaykhan's favorite pastime.

===Minister of Technology Zhuldyz Hadii===
[[File:zhuldyz portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A picture done of Zhuldyz Hadii in her lab, created in 2462.]]
Born in '''2420''' to the Hadii dynasty, Zhuldyz enjoyed the many privileges granted to her family. She grew up fascinated by the new technologies brought by human contact; she would spend hours tinkering and dismantling electronics during her childhood. Later she was sent to study in prestigious Solarian universities, where she ventured into the field of robotics. Zhuldyz returned to Adhomai in 2449 and was granted a post in the Ministry of Technology.

Using the knowledge acquired off-world, Zhuldyz drew plans with the objective of modernizing the Republic through a technological revolution. The rapid industrialization aided by mechatronics would bring prosperity to the Tajara. While many of her initial projects were abruptly interrupted by Rhagrrhuzau's assassination, she remained in her position due to being a member of the Hadii dynasty. The unstable early years of Njadrasanukii’s presidency were unfavorable towards her dreams; stopping Nated’s coup and the Royalist uprising were top priorities at the time. However, as the frontlines stagnated and a semblance of normalcy returned to the People’s Republic, Zhuldyz had the chance to convince President Hadii of her plans. Knowing that losing the war would put an end to her pursuits, she turned her genius to the military field. Victory could be achieved through technological superiority. She was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Hadii Institute of Orbital Research|Hadii Institute of Orbital Research]], the expansion of the [[Tajara_Space_Capability#PRA_Army_Wing|Orbital Fleet]], and the creation of the Tesla Brigade. Zhuldyz was promoted to the office of the Minister of Technology shortly before the Armistice.

The Adhomian Cold War became the perfect testing ground for Zhuldyz's projects. She sees the period of peace as an opportunity to turn the People's Republic into a technological powerhouse. Zhuldyz believes that the future of Hadiism lies in the science and that the Republic must become advanced enough to subjugate its enemies. Minister Hadii is not interested in ethical or safe research; she is eager to pursue dangerous and questionable experiments. No price is too small to pay during the march of progress. President Hadii gave Zhuldyz near uncontested authority to lead the Ministry of Technology. She was the mind behind the creation of the first independent robotic factory on Adhomai.

Due to her upbringing, she is a brilliant scientist and a charming conversationalist, but at the same time, she frequently refuses to admit fault and is quick to scrutinize the work of others. Holding them to nearly impossibly high standards. Many scientists have been transferred to less desirable positions due to failing to meet Zhuldyz's demands. She is a notorious workaholic who only leaves her laboratory to attend political meetings.

===Secretary of the Navy Hura'zhi Mira'zkui===

Born in '''2422''' to an exiled line of minor nobility from the Zatushka Kingdom, Mira’zkui grew up in the chaos of the First Revolution as the armies of the Hadiist rebels marched across Adhomai. When the dust had settled, despite his personal wishes to enter the party itself, his family would convince him to uphold their old traditions and join the forming Republican Navy in '''2447'''. It was then that Mira’zkui met Dynhaas and joined the Oceanmasters Lounge.

During the chaos of Dynhaas’ defection in '''2450''', Mira’zkui narrowly avoided his own death. Informed early by a loyal lieutenant that his own crew was plotting to kill him, Mira’zkui fled in a lifeboat and watched as his fellow officers were thrown screaming from the decks of their own ships. A few days later, he was found on the shores of Ras’nrr. As the Republic fell into chaos, Mira’zkui returned to the Republican Navy as Secretary, entrusted by Malik Hadii to fight against the pirate flotillas of the ALA and the Royal Navy. However, Mira’zkui’s loyalty was not able to make up for his inexperience. While the last of the Liberation Army’s pirate vessels were sunk, he was unable to contend with the strength of the Royal Navy and unable to achieve his personal desire: Capturing or killing Dynhaas.

Post-War, Mira'zkui has largely become reclusive and withdrawn from the public eye. While he continues to try and develop the Republican navy, Mira’zkui is forced to contend with funding going towards the projects of the Orbital Navy and Grand People’s Army. With a relationship of mutual dislike between himself and Zhuldyz Hadii, many within the party believe that Mira’zkui will likely be replaced eventually. How he would react to being denied any chance for revenge against Dynhaas is something no one knows.

===Minister of Education Kalim Khazdar===

Kalim Khazdar was born in '''2430''' to a family of Hharar foremen in the city of Tampiska. Deemed a bright child by his teachers, he was sent to study in Al'marii. Captivated by the tales of progress and prosperity brought by the interwar period, Kalim enrolled at the Al'marii College of Hadiist Sciences. He continued his studies intending to become a college teacher. During his time as a student, he became a good friend and protégé of the rector of the university, Mahir Hadii. His friendship with a member of the political dynasty opened many doors for him.

Kalim joined the Hadiist party during the Second Revolution. He later visited Tau Ceti to study the Adhomian community there; his experiences in District Six deeply affected his ideas. He saw all the social problems that those who lived under the megacorporation rule were subject to. Instead of losing faith in Hadiism, he started to believe that reforms were necessary to save the People's Republic; NanoTrasen should be a means to an end, not the end itself. Kalim returned to Adhomai in 2459 and became a college professor. Thanks to his connections, he soon got involved with the administration and politics of the university. His papers on the subject of Hadiist education were generally well-received by the academia.

With the Armistice of Shastar, Kalim Khazdar aligned himself to the Young Hadiist faction; his sympathy towards the movement was largely unknown to the Party. His ascension to the position of Minister of Education in 2463 was the result of a confidential deal between his mentor and President Hadii. Despite being considered a powerless and inexperienced politician by the other members of the Hadiist cabinet, Kalim is not to be underestimated. Cunning will be necessary to avoid the wrath of President Hadii and his lackeys. The path to a truly free People's Republic will be a long and difficult one.

Usually depicted as a wide-eyed idealist, Kalim Khazdar is anything but naive. The few years he spent navigating the political fields of the Al'mari College transformed him into a bright, yet deeply cunning individual. Kalim rarely loses hope; he prefers to spin every defeat into a minor setback to maintain morale. Many wonder how long it will take for Khazdar's optimism to be crushed by the People's Republic politics. Besides his academic and political work, Kalim has published Hadiist realist poems and short stories.

===Chief Naval Commander Samirro Qarrarhaz===

Born in Northern Ras’nrr in '''2407''', Samirro was the son of a loyal M'sai general in the Hadii Hegemony. Qarrarhaz's family raised and taught him to follow in his father’s footsteps. He would become an artillery officer in '''2428''', finding great success during combat against monarchist groups through using extensive shelling to force and flush out the enemy. By '''2431''' Qarrarhaz was moved into Southern Harr’masir to prepare for an invasion of the Kingdom of Kaltir. His artillery crews were among those who scoured the Kingdom following its surrender, shelling whatever villas, castles, and manors they had found. A staunch ally of Al’mari Hadii and his family, Qarrarhaz has always stood by the Hadii family and the republic they had later built.

While also providing training for future artillery commanders in the interwar period, Qarrarhaz became part of a committee formed by President Al’mari Hadii to plan and prepare a space fleet for the PRA. He, along with other committee members, traveled to the Coalition of Colonies' planets of Xanu Prime and Himeo to observe anti-piracy operations in order to better develop the PRA’s own future space warfare doctrine in '''2452'''. When the Orbital Fleet was completed by '''2457''', Qarrarhaz was appointed Chief Naval Commander by President Malik Hadii. Since then, he has won numerous victories against piracy, smugglers, and even bested a [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/?do=findComment&comment=114422 Sol cruiser].

Post-war, Qarrarhaz continues to lead his spaceships and Kosmostrelki in the defense of the PRA’s claimed space. Comfortable and experienced in his position, Qarrarhaz has begun to speak more on the future of the PRA’s ventures into space. Controversially, the Commander has stated that the PRA must eventually extend its hand to the numerous small colonies and off-worlder communities dotting the frontier around them. Arguing that Hadiism’s light must be spread beyond Tajara, it is his belief that the PRA must one day uplift these groups from their poverty and absorb them into the state.

===Yasmin Piaf===

[[File:Yasmin portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A piece of a poster, promoting Yasmin Piaf's concert, 2463.]]
Yasmina Burokov, aka Yasmin Piaf, was born in 2434 in the suburbs of Nal'tor to a particularly well-off Njarir'Akhran family. Yasmin's father, Boris Burokov was a low-ranking State department official and devout loyalist of the People's Republic. She spent her childhood being educated in the best State-run schools their family could afford and enjoyed relative wealth and prosperity far from the poorer outskirts of the city.

Even from a young age, Yasmin was interested in music. She was part of her school's choir and participated in several nationwide contests for the honor of singing for President Rhagrrhuzau Hadii. The all-female 'Band of Njarir Maidens' consisting of Yasmin and her classmates eventually won and sang for the President and other members of his cabinet at the end of the annual military parade held in Nal'tor. Eventually, she graduated and went on to the Academy of Musical Arts with a full scholarship.

Talent scouts pruning the burgeoning academy's student pool for the next starlet eventually discovered Yasmin during rehearsals for the school's upcoming musical, and she signed a tentative deal with the small publication Vostak Recordings. Her first record, simply titled The Man in Rouge, was released with minimal fanfare. Given that she had sung a small solo during her performance for the President, some Tajara recalled her name.

Yet her voice, described by some as angelic and innocent, found purchase with an aging generation of Tajara who wished a brief return to peaceful normalcy following the First Revolution. Her dedication to the traditional pop standard and recognition for torch songs eventually elevated her to the status of a household name, with her recording label releasing hit after hit. As a result, Yasmin Piaf has become one of the most famous singers in the modern era - one who has fostered a close relationship with State officials. She is one of the few artists who are approved to be played on State radio KGTW-11.

===Andrey Borisov===

Out of all the Tajara that one could argue embody loyalty to the People’s Republic, perhaps none are more memorable than Andrey Alexander Borisov. In the average Republican household, his name is just as common as President Hadii’s, owing to the fact that he is the face of State propaganda and news network RAFИ. Born in 2416 to a line of M’sai warriors, Andrey was not even two years old before humanity stumbled across Adhomai and lit the flame that ignited the First Revolution.

Andrey’s father and uncle were killed in the uprising, leaving him, his mother, and his sister alone to fend for themselves. His mother curried favor with the local rebel leader when their town fell to the onslaught of war; she became his concubine and, later, his wife. The ever-advancing front saw Andrey moved from home to home, where the young M’sai would often spend time talking to soldiers recovering after harsh fighting. They nourished a sense of patriotism in him, and eventually, he came to see the First Revolution as necessary for the future of the Tajara.

The war ended in 2432, when he was merely 16 years old. As the newly founded People’s Republic began the arduous transition from a movement to a government, Andrey’s connections with the upper echelon of PRA politicians bore fruit. He was taken on as a member of an officer’s general staff, headquartered in Nal’Tor, where he served as little more than a glorified secretary. His position put him in contact with the elite, however, and many found him charming and personable. His silver tongue earned him the interest of Dmitrys Marakov, the owner of the only State-approved television station at that point in time.

His ascension from lowly secretary to the major news anchor for RAFИ was one that involved plenty of political maneuvering, money - and, rumored by some, violence - but ultimately Andrey had proved his loyalty to the political elite of the People's Republic and he was rewarded with the honor of being their mouthpiece. As a result, no Tajara on Adhomai can go very long without seeing his smiling face on their television set, spinning the next story or cover-up at the behest of the State.

==Democratic People's Republic==

''"We are soldiers. We are fighters. We are war. We have forsaken the corrupt and decaying corpse of the xeno-loving People's Republic. We have left our homes and our families, but our cause is righteous. The suns are with us! The vile usurper of my friend and comrade Al'mari will have justice delivered to him! We will spill the blood of our enemies until our struggles are seen and heard, and we WILL retake OUR Republic!"

''- Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan, the day after the coup de tat began, 2451.''

===Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan===
[[File:Nateed portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A surprise picture of Nated, taken in 2458.]]
Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan was born in '''2404''' to a M'sai family under the service of the Hadii Dynasty. The son of a royal guard, Nated interacted with many Njarir children in his early life. He grew to resent their narcissism but was prepared to inherit his duty nonetheless. When the First Revolution ignited in '''2421''', Halkiikijr fought for the loyalists alongside the Hadii family. Becoming a battle-brother of Rhagrrhuzau Hadii, or better known as Al'Mari Hadii, Nated stood with the Hadii’s decision to abandon their royal roots and join the revolutionaries. When the war ended Al'Mari was sworn into office, Halkiikijr was made a Commander in Chief of the Republican Army in return for his service.

Al'Mari supposedly made promises of swearing-in Halkiikijr as the next president of the People's Republic once the political climate on Adhomai had stabilized. The legitimacy of this claim is not known, but what is known is that Al'Mari was assassinated during a military parade in '''2451''' and Njadrasanukii Hadii, vice president of the People's Republic, swore himself in as the successor of the presidency. Outraged at the assassination and accusing Njadrasanukii of treachery against the People’s Republic, Nated organized a coup against Malik. Bringing together military commanders dissatisfied with the new Hadiist policies, Halkiikijr created the Adhomai Liberation Army to dethrone the new President. He then took the title of Supreme Commander.

As the putsch attempt was thwarted by the Hadiist forces, Nated fled to Shastar City. The coup then turned into a full-blown civil war between the Liberation Army and the People’s Republic. Without off-world help, Nated called to arms anyone willing to support his cause. His movement became a unifying front to all kinds of elements opposing President Hadii; from democratic reformers to extremists fighting to free Adhomai from alien influence. For a decade, Halkiikijr led the Liberation Army as an effective opposing force against the People’s Republic and the New Kingdom. He favored the extensive use of irregular warfare coupled with the deployment of the army to secure decisive battles. A cult of personality formed around Halkiikijr; extremists claimed that he was a prophet sent by the Gods. The Supreme Commander took advantage of this belief to cultivate undying loyalty and fanaticism among his followers.

Believing that the territories under his control were ready for a democracy modeled after the Al'mariist principles, Nated's undisputed rule came to an end with the creation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai. Halkiikijr retired from his position as Supreme Commander to prevent a coup against the newly elected president. His retirement did not last long; he returned to power because of the Amohdan crisis in '''2462'''. Nated was given back the control of the Liberation Army and its remaining juntas to retake the Island of Amohda. After this display of weakness, Halkiikijr is unsure if the DPRA is truly ready to rule Adhomai. For him, the ALA is now more essential than before. Nated also faces infighting between his two right-hand men; commander Kahan and Kyff.

While some may call Nated an opportunist or a loyal friend to Al'mari, what is certain is that he is determined. Both in his personal and political life, the Supreme Commander is known to never lose sight of his objectives. This might lead him to make promises that might be hard to fulfill, but Halkiikijr rarely goes back on his word. Because of his association with the most radical elements of the ALA and his tendency of using his position of authority to interfere in disputes, he is a firm believer that the end justifies the means. Because of the utility of his cult of personality, Nated avoids exposing much of his private life.

===Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad===
[[File:Kahan portrait.png|200px|thumb|left|Commander Hro'rammhad in his summer uniform, taken in 2461.]]
Kahan Hro'rammhad was born in '''2412''' to a Hharar family as their oldest children. A peasant from birth in the region of Southern Harr'masir, he was taught the traditional values of S'rendarr and Messa by his deeply religious parents. His childhood was cut short by the outbreak of the First Revolution; his family was expelled from their lands by the war. Thanks to its flat terrain, Southern Harr’masir saw the first deployment of armored vehicles in the conflict; trains, civilian cars, and trucks were outfitted for warfare by the rebels. Hro’rammhad joined the crew of an armored car as soon he turned 14 years old. Because of the high mortality among the revolutionaries, Kahan quickly found himself in the command of his own brigade. He became famous for his excellent use of the vehicles’ speed to encircle the enemy, and for his merciful nature. Monarchists soldiers were always given the chance of joining his side after capture. Hro’rammhad also forbade unnecessary executions and mistreatment of prisoners among his fighters.

Commander Kahan and his brigade were incorporated into the Hadiist faction shortly before the end of the First Revolution. As a member of the Republican Army, he was a major proponent of the transformation of the People’s Army into a motorized force. Tank brigades and motostrelki units were created under his supervision. Kahan funded the reconstruction of many temples destroyed during the revolution and frequently donated to charity through the interwar period. Hro’rammhad joined Nated’s coup due to his profound disagreement with Malik’s policies; he saw the oppression of the Zhan-Khazan as morally corrupt. Armored units that defected alongside him were organized into the Hro'rammhad Tank Corps under his command.

Hro'rammhad remained a merciful and pious Tajara through the Second Revolution. He rejected the notion of irregular warfare and continued to offer mercy to his enemies. As the leader of the main armored force in the Liberation Army, Kahan played an important role in decisive battles. This position allowed him to become a right-hand man for Nated. As part of his religiousness, Hro'rammhad considered the conflict to be a battle to protect the faith against the innate atheism of Hadiism. Religious imagery and motifs became common among his Tajara. The men under Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad are known to have the utmost respect for his bravery and mercy, most even going so far as to worship him as an embodiment of S'rendarr's justice. His success during the civil war earned him the nickname of “Undefeated Commander".

Despite the armistice, Commander Kahan remains as one of the second-in-command for Halkiikijr. He is an avid supporter of the transition to democracy, advocating for the dismantlement of the juntas. This position earned him many enemies among the more authoritarian elements within the Liberation Army. He is known to despise Commander Kyff Hotak for his tactics and personality. Both Tajara are currently engaged in an internal struggle to consolidate their influence over the Liberation Army.

Thanks to his religious upbringing, Commander Kahan is a forgiving and honest individual. He may be eager to let bygones be bygones, but he is not easily fooled by malicious intentions; anyone trying to take advantage of him will not have an easy time. Hro'rammhad enjoys spending his free time with his family. His thirty years-long marriage sired nine children - three of whom lost their lives in the Second Revolution.

===Commander Kyff Hotak===
[[File:hotak portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A picture of Commander Hotak along with his pet Farwa, taken with flash in 2458.]]
Born in the year '''2406''' to a family of Zhan-Khazan miners in the Trizar, Kyff Hotak was supposedly destined to slave away for his Njarir master as his ancestors did for many generations. To avoid this fate, Hotak fled his home as a young Tajara. He ran into the wilderness until he found a bandit camp. Because of his age, the brigands decided to adopt Kyff as the group’s mascot. The boy grew up witnessing all kinds of crime and violence; later taking part in the band’s activity when old enough. The bandits sided with the rebels during the First Revolution in search of plunder. But their greed was their undoing; the criminals were massacred by the revolutionaries after they were discovered stealing rations. Hotak survived by being the one to report the activities of his previous comrades. As the war dragged on, Kyff became more bold and cruel in his revolutionary activities. He frequently engaged in assassinations, massacres, and false flag operations to crush the monarchists’ morale. Hotak was soon feared by his comrades and hated by his enemies. To him, everything was permissible to achieve victory. Impressed by the victories of the Hadii faction, he joined them as part of the early Ha'narr Corps.

The interwar period was fairly unremarkable for Kyff Hotak; he was given a low-ranking office position in the intelligence department. While Hotak advocated for the recreation of a force similar to the Mountain Ghost Corps, his request was ignored by the Hadiist high command. Memories of his excess in the First Revolution stopped Hotak from receiving any further promotions. He grew discontent with the People’s Republic, believing that he deserved more for his service. Seeing Nated's coup as an opportunity to rise to power, Kyff defected to the Liberation Army without hesitation.

Hotak organized his own unit of commando early into the war; a battalion trained in stealth operations. As a major proponent of irregular warfare, he also helped organize guerilla cells and coordinate terrorist attacks. The success of these groups granted him enough influence to become one of Nated's right-hand men. However, Commander Kyff quickly returned to his old ways; he started to wage a campaign of unrestrained terror. The presence of his soldiers became a harbinger of indiscriminate persecution, murder, excessive property requisition, and collective punishment against any community suspected of working with the enemy. Despite the protest of the civilian population and Commander Kahan, Halkiikijr refused to replace Kyff. Taking advantage of his reputation, Hotak ordered his Tajara to spread stories of him being the earthly manifestation of Messa's wrath. This tactic proved to be effective both among his enemies and allies.

Commander Kyff Hotak remains in service even after the armistice. Many within the army and the civilian administration desire to see Hotak punished for his war crimes, but Supreme Commander Nated continues to protect him. Kyff is a hardline supporter of the more authoritarian elements in the government and desires a strong centralized leadership above all else. He and Commander Hro'rammhad are rivals; both Tajara commonly fight each other over which direction the Liberation Army should go. Hotak is always accompanied by his pet [[Adhomai#Farwa (Tree-Hopper)|Farwa]], Ghiyath.

What little is known from Kyff's personal life does not paint a picture much different from his time in the army. Cold, ambitious, and cruel are some of the terms commonly used to describe Hotak. For him, other people are merely stepping stones on his path to power. To maintain his mythical image as Messa's wrath, he avoids any kind of social interaction with anyone outside of his inner circle. Kyff is a famous animal lover - besides his Farwa, he is also the proud owner of several domesticated Ha'rrons.

===President Almrah Harrlala===
[[File:harrlala portrait.png|200px|thumb|left|A portrait of the president during one of her speeches, done in 2461.]]
President Almrah Harrlala was born in '''2426''' to a family of Hharar factory workers in Shastar City. While her childhood was relatively unaffected by the First Revolution, she enjoyed many of the benefits brought by the People’s Republic during the interwar period. Being the first member of her household to receive a proper education, she became involved in the Party’s politics at a considerable young age. She believed that a stable democracy built upon the will of the people was the best path for Adhomai. She was also wary of the presence of megacorporations on the planet, considering their activities as harmful to the development of the Tajara species She campaigned for more worker’s rights and laws restricting corporation’s activities in the PRA. Almrah held a position within the Party until the ascension of President Njadrasanukii Hadii; he ordered the arrest of Harrlala due to her views.

Harrlala was held prisoner in Shastar during the first moments of the Civil war, only the capture of the city by the Liberation Army saved her from being transferred to another location. Hoping to continue her career in politics, she aligned herself with the rebels. Even if the despotic and extremist tendencies of the ALA worried Almrah, she held to Nated's promise of saving the Republic. She was given the position of Provisional Minister of Civil Rights when the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai was established.

As the Minister of Civil Rights, Almrah worked to protect the regional identities present in the DPRA. Her campaign to end military rule over the country while still upholding the principles of Al’mariism made her a popular figure among the moderate sectors of the population. Seeking to expand her political influence, she founded the National Adhomai Worker's Party. She was one of the candidates in the presidential elections of '''2460'''; she won the office of president by a narrow margin. President Harrlala’s ascension to power displeased the authoritarian wing of the Liberation Army, the military then planned a coup to restore their own rule. The putsch was stopped by the intervention of Supreme Commander Nated, who later resigned from his position to grant more powers to the civilian administration.

Following the Armistice, President Almrah Harrlala continued with her internal policies while maintaining a strong stance against foreign dominance. Under her rule, schools to preserve local cultures and languages were established, Gakal’zaal was liberated from the Unathi rule, and the DPRA developed its nuclear program. Her status as one of the first female rulers in modern Tajaran history has inspired many women to engage in DPRA politics. However, her regime is plagued with deep issues. The ghost of separatism lingers over the nation after the Amohdan attempt to secede. Her ability to reconcile the various factions in the government was severely doubted when she failed to draw a plan to handle the rebellious island. Since the return of Halkiikijr to power, the authoritarian elements see this as a moment of weakness in the young Republic. President Harrlala must be ready to face further opposition if she wants to see her vision of Adhomai come to life.

Often described as patient and focused, President Almrah Harrlala is not easily dissuaded from pursuing her objectives. When faced with hardship, she prefers to withstand the storm while continuing to work on her projects. Alongside her hectic political career, Almrah leads a modest life without much excitement or luxuries. In her sparse free time, she enjoys playing Mahmrro and visiting Das'nrra's countryside.

===Ex-interim President Brajrr Alnadruskiy===

Born in '''2423''' in the city of Mztel’mir, Brajjr Alnadruskiy was the youngest child of a family of brewers. He later joined the Republican Army at 17 years old, slowly climbed the ranks through diligent service to the military. Brajrr attributed the prosperity of interwar Adhomai to the strong leadership of President Al’mari; he believed that the Republic always needed a strongman in control to succeed. He severely doubted Malik’s competence because of his decision to undo his brother’s reform.

Brajrr finally rose to prominence with Nated's coup. Upon hearing of the revolution, he rallied the Liberation Army’s aligned troops in Das’nrra to assault Shastar. Alnadruskiy's attack was successful and he was named the Rrhaza-Akhran of the city. Shastar became the headquarter of the ALA, giving Brajrr a reasonable amount of influence within the army high command. He was known for his rigorous discipline and unforgiving nature. Many war prisoners were forced into labor by his orders. Brajrr was given the position of Interim President when the Democratic People’s Republic was created.

Alnadruskiy ran for president in the 2460 elections, seeking to centralize the nation and maintain the Army’s sway over the government. He founded the Free Tajaran People’s Party, gathering the most authoritarian elements in the Republic. After Almrah Harrlala’s victory by a narrow margin, he took part in the putsch against the newly elected president. Despite the defeat of the mutiny, Brajrr managed to convince Halkiikijr that he was forced by the extremists to join them. He was released and allowed to return to politics.

Ex-interim President Brajjr Alnadruskiy now leads the opposition to Harrlala’s regime. He continues to support a centralized state under the leadership of Supreme Commander Nated. Even when the successes of the current administration displease him, their latest crisis has given him enough to challenge Almrah. The return of Halkiikijr to the control of the Army is also considered a victory for him and his followers. Alnadruskiy awaits for the right moment of weakness to retake control of the DPRA.

Brajrr Alnadruskiy is notorious for his unforgiving and rigid personality. He never forgets or forgives any wrongdoing, no matter how small. Brajrr has a large collection of grudges - he diligently waits for the opportunity to exact revenge upon those who wronged him. Alnadruskiy is also unreasonably stubborn; he rarely takes other points of view in his decisions. The Ex-interim President is a compulsive and skilled gambler; his favorite game is Suns and Moon.

===Maksym Razin===

Born in 2423 to a family of M'sai foresters in Southern Ras'nrr, Maksym was raised in a deeply religious household. As a follower of Mata'ke, he spent his youth learning the skills necessary to become a hunter. At the age of 25, he joined the Priesthood of Mata'ke after hunting an exceptionally large, Tajara-eating Ha'rron who was terrorizing the region. Maksym became a firebrand priest who preached against the alien presence in Adhomai. He supporter Al'mari late policies as a sign of an inevitable religious revival. Razin's service was cut short because of the outbreak of the Second Revolution.

Deeming Njadrasanukii's rule to be an active danger to the Ma'ta'ke faith, Maksym joined the Liberation Army. In Supreme Commander Nated, he saw the very image of Mata'ke - a Tajara sent by the Gods to defeat the enemies of Adhomai despite overwhelming odds. Thanks to the usefulness of his skill as a hunter in guerilla warfare, Razin quickly climbed the ranks; in a matter of time, he became the Rrhaza-Akhran of Mezuma. He was known for making extensive use of ambushes and traps. During his time in the liberation arm, Razin was an avid supporter of Hotak. After the failed putsch of 2461, Maksym followed Nated's example and stood down as a junta leader.

As a member of the Followers of Nated, Maksym Razin was elected to be a representative in the National Assembly. In his time in politics, Razin became acquit In the 2464 elections, he was chosen to be the candidate for the presidency. With or without the approval of Commander Nated, he now plans to turn the Democratic People's Republic into a holy realm free of the Alien influence; a nation guided by the wills of the Gods. Maksym is not afraid of doing whatever it might take to ensure the triumph of Theocratic Natediism. He firmly believes that Nated will return to the leadership of the DPRA after his followers have seized the government.

Maksym is a notorious thrill seeker; no challenge is too small for him. His trophy wall is covered with all types of Adhomian animals. His bravery is only matched by his zealotry; Razin's faith plays a central role in his life. He rarely takes any meaningful decision without consulting the Gods through rituals or before saying a prayer.

===Bakhteiarova Mirzakhani===

Born in 2435 on a small farm in Northern Ras'nrr, Bakhteiarova was likely destined to spend her life as a mere farmer. Destiny was abruptly changed with the assassination of President Al'marii. As a Zhan-Khazan, she saw her family join Nated's side due to the discrimination of her people. While too young to take part in the revolution, she was old enough to understand what was to come. As the war dragged on, she witnessed the death of most of her relatives, the destruction of her land, and the nuclear strike at Quizosa.

Left without anything but scars, Bakhteiarova fled to Southern Ras'nrr as a refugee. There she became involved in the still young Ruralist cause. The memories of Hadiist war machines and the bomb were enough to convince her that the real culprit was modernity itself. Moved by a mixture of nostalgia for better times and a legit concern for Adhomai's environment, she became deeply involved in the movement. Thanks to her background and experiences, she was able to bridge the gap between the Ruralist and Environmentalists of the Adhomian Blue Party. She worked alongside the party's theorists to make sure that the Ruralist Experimental Farms were viable.

Mirzakhani was chosen as a candidate for the 2464 presidential elections by the Adhomian Blue Party. As a committed Ruralist, she is eager to implement their plan of returning to an idealized pre-industrial society. However, she recognizes that implementing such a project is impossible without reuniting Adhomai. Bakhteiarova may be willing to work with the rest of the DPRA to achieve the Al'mariist victory, but she has no interest in ever giving up her dream - an Adhomai free of the evils of modernity; an idyllic paradise the Tajara once held. Besides the other parties and candidates, her main political enemy is Ahem Kah'nrir, the warlord who continues to strangle her homeland.

Because of her upbringing, Bakhteiarova Mirzakhani enjoys the simple things in life. Listening to the folktales, taking care of her garden, and riding a Zhsram are among her favorite activities. Either because of her duties or some unknown personal reason, Bakhteiarova frequently appears to be tired. Rumors claim she has trouble sleeping and must make use of medicine to rest properly.

===Dr. Aleksandra Hro'makar===

The first and thus far only incident of weapons of mass destruction being employed on Adhomai happened in 2458, when the People’s Republic dropped a four-megaton nuclear bomb on the Liberation Army base in Quizosa. The death toll from the detonation was staggering, but the fallout from the bomb was carried on strong winds, leading to severe cases of radiation poisoning from the neighboring camps.

Tajara medical experience with radiation poisoning and the effects of nuclear bombs were practically non-existent. The only species in the galaxy that had the technology long before the Tajara were Xenos, and the Liberation Army did not have the luxury of free contact with extraplanetary forces. With the sick and dying mounting, a call for help was sent out to the surrounding territories. Many physicians and doctors made the long and difficult journey in the winter snows to help - at the forefront of them, Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar.

The effects of the bomb were catastrophic. Survivors were badly burned. Their fur fell out, never to grow back again - leaving them susceptible to Adhomai’s frigid temperatures. Their skin peeled off in sickly ribbons, hanging limply to the ground. Doctors were at a loss, with only a rudimentary understanding of what could have happened. Dr. Aleksandra took a sort of unofficial command of the medical effort, and coordinated efforts to assist the sick and dying.

Liberation-sympathetic Tajara, at her prodding, recovered as many documents as they could regarding the atom bomb from PRA-aligned holdings, downloading information from the extranet and thieving textbooks from high-security locations. Thanks to her ingenuity and leadership, the haphazard medical team of doctors saved a great many innocents from a slow, painful death - though they would have to live with the effects of the bomb for the rest of their lives. Dr. Aleksandra is widely known for her opposition to nuclear proliferation, due to her experiences, and has become the face of a growing anti-WMD movement across Ras’narr.

===Arzjun Haurjuhrl===

Rumors persist that Arzjun Haurjuhrl was sired out of wedlock, a result of an affair between a Zhan-Khazan mistress and a rebel leader. He was born in '''2427''' in the warmer regions near the city of Olska, and lived alone with his mother. He was scarcely a child when the war ended and the People’s Republic came to prominence. Both he and his mother suffered much in the way of discrimination - for being Zhan-Khazan as well as having a bastard child. This disconnect between what the People’s Republic promised and the way they were treated caused the young Arzjun to become disillusioned with the Republic.

He was further tested when his mother suddenly fell ill and died in the winter of 2445. With nothing left tying him down, abandoned as he had been by Adhomain society, he took what little funds they had been saving and paid a smuggler to carry him off-world. It took every penny but eventually, he found himself in Mendell City, carrying nothing but the clothes on his back. For a time, he lived on the streets, forced to beg to make ends meet. He soon found work at one of the shelters he had often stayed at. The community of Little Adhomai was more welcoming to him than the homeworld had been.

Deciding to pay back the kindness he received, he took part in many community outreach programs, including plays and dramas for the children of Little Adhomai. His passion for the arts as a medium of expression took root here, and his name rose to some prominence amongst the local Tajara population thanks to his charity work. He aspired to work on his own big picture and got his chance thanks to the collective donations of many Tajara. Wealthy Xenos also had an interest in seeing what the immigrant could do, though perhaps a few thought it would look good as a public relations move.

The script he wrote went through many revisions and sat for a good while before it was picked up by a studio. The community who had helped him before had done it once again; the surprise blockbuster When Summer Came to Nazira was one of the top ten highest-grossing films in Biesel history. Its anti-tyranny message was seen by some as an expression of the director’s own viewpoint on the People’s Republic. In some ways, they were correct - Arzjun is a quiet supporter of the DPRA, which has put him at odds with the Republican government. As a result, his film is banned from showing on Adhomai - though this has not stopped smuggled copies from being distributed amongst DPRA theaters.

==New Kingdom==

''"Loyal subjects, countrymen, brothers. It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that we must conscript from the provinces in order to maintain our fight in this war. However, you are not alone. Even as the new compulsory service legislature is passed, the aristocrats across the kingdom are likewise mobilized under a new service gentry system, so that all of the Kingdom is together in this struggle."''

''- King Vahzirathaamro Azunja, announcing the beginning of conscription and formalization of the service gentry in 2453.''

=== King Vahzirthaamro Azunja===
[[File:Azunja portrait.png|200px|thumb|left| A portrait done of Queen Shumaila Azunja, holding the ceremonial orr'bu s'rrendar, circa 2460.]]
King Azunja was born in 2400 in the city of Kaltir to the noble Njarir’Akhran Azunja line. His father was Farkhanzirhal and his mother Dramahdarmah. Located in the far reaches of Kaltir, the Azunja family line was one of compassion and fair treatment, as only in unity and brotherhood could they hope to survive the harsh far reaches of Northern Adhomai. Their peasants were kept well and treated with dignity, and the nobles, while privileged, never indulged in cruelty. A noble paige since the age of 10, Vahzirthaamro excelled in reading and writing from an early age. He prepared to inherit the family throne as the sole son of his parents until the first civil war of Adhomai ignited in 2421.

When war broke out between the nobility and peasants, house Azunja was hesitant to pick sides, as they disagreed with the morals of both sides. Their distant position in the wild made them capable of ignoring the war until its end, as the Hadii family was placed at the head of Adhomai in 2432. Carrying the flags of the newly founded People's Republic of Adhomai, the Republic's army demanded the surrender of all nobility in Kaltir. The entire populace requested to be left in peace, as the peasantry and nobility there had never declared war on one another. Believing the peasants were utterly spineless and brainwashed, the People's Republic executed all current nobles ruthlessly, scattering the royalty of the region. Vahzirthaamro was placed in prison by his father's retinue of intellectuals, who declared he had to remain hidden amongst the lowest of the low if he wished to stay alive. From that moment on, Vahzirthaamro Azunja knew that peace was impossible so long as a compromise was not made, and a true constitutional monarchy was made the unanimous government on Adhomai.

Word passed amongst the Tajara at the work camps about the possibility that Vahzirthaamro still lived as many pre-war intellectuals gathered with him in private. They spun every possibility of a government, even discussing adopting human political systems as they gathered workers, fighters, poets, and philosophers to form an organized nation as they spread their ideas to the guards of the facility, a majority of which who were old peasants under the Azunja family who thought the entirety of the nobility had been executed. Delighted to see his return, they joined his side and swore allegiance to his family once more.

In 2449, in the middle of the night, Vahzirthaamro was released in secret along with the entirety of his retinue, as they quickly spread from town to town, asking for assistance from newly appointed officials and workers. Before long, the reminiscent families of the Kaltir region were happy to rejoin their flock. By 2450 his claim to rule had spread to all of Northern Harr'masir, and the New Kingdom of Adhomai officially seceded as an independent nation under the newly declared King Vahzirthaamro Azunja. He then led the Kingdom for the next decade, managing the balance between the different factions within the government and the ongoing war. Vahzirthaamro became a unifying figure for the population. After successfully securing Kaltir's ancient lands and negotiating the armistice that brought the end to the war, King Vahzirthaamro passed away in 2463. His niece, Shumaila Azunja, inherited his throne.

===Queen Shumaila Azunja===

[[File:Shumaila portrait.png|200px|thumb|right| A portrait done of Queen Shumaila Azunja, holding the ceremonial orr'bu s'rrendar, circa 2460.]]
Shumaila Azunja was born in 2431 in Northern Harr’smirr, as the daughter of one of the kingdom’s princes. She survived the Republican slaughter by being hidden away among the peasantry, raised in secret by individuals still loyal to the old ruling dynasty. From a young age, Shumaila began to participate in secretive royalist circles within Kaltir. Here, she began her service to the kingdom by helping distribute leaflets proclaiming the coming of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. When the uprising broke out in 2450, she joined the new Imperial Adhomian Army. Shumaila then rose through the officer ranks quickly, becoming a commander in the Jabrut Almumalik and establishing a name for herself on the front.

Many of those who served under Shumaila describe her as being a woman of unbreakable will, never faltering as casualties stacked or as barrages shattered the ground around her. Some even say she wouldn’t even blink at the sight of the PRA’s dreaded tanks rolling towards the lines. For her exploits in the war’s 2459 offensive and the defense of the Vlrralkhzazhul line, Shumaila came to be known as “The Storm of Harr’smir”, matching her iron will with a burning fury to destroy the kingdom’s enemies.

In 2460, after meeting with several prospective heirs, King Vahzirthaamro had chosen his niece Shumaila to serve as the Crown Heir. Although the majority supported this decision alongside most of Parliament and the nobility, a large fraction remained wary of the decision of a military leader over other options. However, this opposition has shrunk over the past few years. Shumaila remains strong on her position of expanding the military, but she has also spoken about increasing ties to the galaxy’s Megacorporations to modernize the New Kingdom. Nor has she made any comments regarding changing the democratic systems of Parliament and the Chamber. Coupled with her public appearances and active presence in the newspapers, many woes and worries of her ascension have been dissuaded.

Since entering the public eye in 2459, Shumaila enjoys much support from the women of Kaltir. Many look to her as an inspiration, buying “military” style jackets to emulate her look, given that Shumaila became one of the few Tajara women to lead a nation. However, this fame has also led to calls from the nobility and her family to choose a husband. Shumaila retains that her marriage comes after her coronation. She was finally crowned in 2463 after King Azunja passed away. Outside of continuing her uncle's legacy, her plans to the Kingdom are still unclear to the wide public

Often called headstrong, Queen Shumaila's personality is very different from her predecessor. She appears calm and resolute during her public apparitions, however, rumors claim that she has frequent bouts of rage while in private. During her free time, Shumaila enjoys collecting and riding cars, playing Traiaz, and hunting. She has shown little to no interest in arranging a marriage to secure a direct heir.

[[File:Marshal portrait.png|200px|thumb|left| A portrait of Field-Marshal Zarkradar'Akhan, circa 2420.]]
===Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan===

Rrhazhal was born in '2380 to the noble Njarir’Akhran Zarkradar'Akhan line, however, he was a legitimized bastard of a Zhan-Kazan maid. As the youngest of his brothers, Rrhazhal was sent into the service of the Azunja family as King Farkhanzirhal Azunja's servant at the age of 10. King Azunja noticed the young child had a talent for philosophy and strategy. The two had many intellectual discussions together as Rrhazhal quickly became a trusted advisor of King Farkhanzirhal by the time he was 20. At this time, King Azunja decided he trusted Rrhazhal with protecting the life of the newly born Vahzirthaamro. On the eve of the First Civil War, Rrhazhal was tasked with training the peasantry of Kaltir in order to defend their fiefdom and nobility against attackers. When Kaltir was annexed by the People's Republic of Adhomai in 2432, Farkhanzirhal frenziedly ordered Rrhazhal to hide Vahzirthaamro before People's Republic soldiers stormed the palace, killing almost everyone. From then on Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan personally accompanied Vahzirthaamro Azunja as his protector and chief advisor.

In 2450, once the New Kingdom had officially declared independence from the People's Republic of Adhomai, Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan was promoted to the rank of Field-Marshal personally by King Azunja, and today oversees all military operations inside of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Respected for his tactical skill but notorious for his radical belief that a compromise is not possible and a complete return to the old nobility is Adhomai's only option for peace, Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan is one of the oldest fighting nobles left on Adhomai.

Rrhazhal is old-fashioned, methodic, and extremely loyal. Accustomed to the strict military life, the Marshal rarely deviates from his routine. Zarkradar'Akhan is notorious for his lack of sense of humor. Rrhazhal's sharp mind has begun to show the signs of his age after the death of King Azunja; the marshal sometimes forgets details and has trouble remembering his previous orders. In his sparse free time, Rrhazhal enjoys practicing wood carving.

===Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas===
[[File:dynhaas portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A commissioned portrait of Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas from his book cover, done in 2463.]]
Hailing from a royal cadet line and born in 2402, Dynhaas followed his father and brothers to join the Das’nrra Empire’s navy at a young age. When the First Revolution came, naval losses coupled with the rebel conquest of Das’nnra resulted in Dynhaas, the last man left of his line, surrendering and being imprisoned. With the war’s end in 2432, Dynhaas was offered a pardon by the Party in exchange for developing the Republican Navy. He would come to accept this over the alternative of death.

Accepting his defeat and believing that the age of nobility came to an end, Dynhaas came to view the Republican Navy as his new purpose in life. He worked to advance it alongside other pardoned nobles and founded the Oceanmasters Lounge, a private club within the naval officer corps. This path in life would change with the announcement of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Believing that a way to restore the old glory days of kingdoms laid with the NKA, Dynhaas began to plan a revolt. Partnering with other sympathetic admirals, he had the Republican Navy’s Grand Admiral and several other loyalists killed on a fateful night at the Shastar Naval Base before fleeing eastwards in 2450. In the same year that the New Kingdom was declared, Dynhaas delivered them the strongest naval force Adhomai had ever seen. King Azunja had declared him the Kingdom’s Grand Admiral shortly after meeting with Dynhaas in Miran’mir.

With the Republican Navy's command almost crippled and the ALA unable to compete with their dominance of the sea, Dynhaas used his fleets during the war to support and supply the Royal Army while helping smash the enemies of the New Kingdom. The artillery barrages of his ships were important in coastal battles during the NKA's offensives while their supremacy saved the Royal Marines from certain destruction following the failed Ras'nrr expedition. The prestige of his position made Dynhaas an instant celebrity in the NKA as well. Many propaganda reels and photos showed him as a majestic lord of the sea, something he capitalized on heavily to present himself as the very pinnacle of noble glory. Always well-groomed, well-dressed, and impeccable at talking despite whatever circumstances he was in, Dynhaas never passed the opportunity to host an interview. Most notable was Dynhaas' interview on his opinions of xenos of the S'rand’marr coalition, conducted on his capital vessel while it sieged Nal'tor in the final stages of the war. His statements on Unathi and Skrell were less than positive. After the expulsion of the People's Republic from Harr'masir in 2461, Admiral Mahtra infamously ordered the Royal Navy to engage in an unrestricted bombardment campaign of the eastern Hadiist coast. Cities and villages were targets of frequent naval artillery strikes; the battleships shelled military and civilian targets indiscriminately. The Navy infamously used incendiary shells during these attacks, causing entire neighborhoods to be engulfed in firestorms.

Post-war, Dynhaas went on several speaking tours in the first year of the armistice. Traveling from city to city, his public events were used to promote his upcoming biography and drew crowds in the tens of thousands. Politically, he maintains that the future of the NKA always lies within the navy, and that the industry of the New Kingdom must always retain a heavy focus on their shipyards. Dynhaas has also been vocal in his beliefs of a stronger monarch, often using the emergency powers King Azunja had as an example of the strong benefits that could come with such. He is yet to comment at all on his supposed rival, Mira'zkui, at all.

Mahtra is an infamous glory hound; his boisterous and prideful personality is often the source of much interpersonal conflict. Dynhaas can not go long without telling war stories or exalting his actions during the previous conflict. Among the Royalists circles, the Grand Admiral is either loved or hated. Mahtra is never seen out of his fancy dress uniform adorned by a large roll of medals.

===Grand Duke Akym Yudenikh===

Born in the Das'nrra Empire to a noble family in 2412, Akym Yudenikh survived the First Revolution by escaping to Northern Harr'masir and hiding his identity. After the Hadiist occupation of the Kingdom of Kaltir, Yudenikh joined the People's Republic bureaucracy; he became responsible for the administration of the local rail system. Akym was infamous for his corruption; he frequently sold permits, disregarded contraband reports, and accepted bribes.

Because of his background, Akym was contacted by the underground royalist movement. He quickly became one of the main supporters of the group; he used his position within the Hadiist government to secure supplies and funding for the incoming uprising. Weapons, machinery, and ammunition were diverted to the Royalist cells. Akym was awarded the title of baron, a seat in the parliament, and some land confiscated from the People's Republic when Vahzirthaamro returned. However, his ambitions did not stop there. Using the money made from his time as a Republican bureaucracy, alongside whatever profit he could extract from his new holdings, Yudenikh continued to acquire more estate. Newly liberated farms were sold to him at a meager price thanks to his connections within the government. In a question of years, he became a Grand Duke and one of the major landowners of the New Kingdom. Akym controversially used prisoners of war as workers in his plantations during the Second Revolution as part of deals with the military.

Following the Armistice, Akym Yudenikh now leads the Royalist Party; his main mission is to maintain the status quo. The continuation of the constitutional monarchy and the privileges of the nobility align perfectly with his interests. He is one of the major supporters of further deals with megacorporations. Grand Duke Akym is not afraid to use his position to protect his interest in the parliament. Under his vision, prosperity for the New Kingdom means more power and wealth to its elite.

While Akym might appear friendly and easygoing at the first sight, this facade hides treacherous tendencies. The Grand Duke only keeps a secret if it benefits him directly; anything else is fair game in the social game of the New Kingdom's nobility. Thanks to this behavior, Yudenikh has his clique of noble friends who frequently support each other in political and personal affairs. As a lover of the finer things in life, the Grand Duke likes to hold feasts, bet on Zhsram races, and collect bottles of Nm'shaan Liquor.

===Prince Serhiy Oliinyk===

Born as the third son to a family of Njarir'Akhran in 2434, Serhiy Oliinyk's life was profoundly affected by events over which he had no control. Raised in a household of avid royalists supporters, Serhiy was exposed to his parents' ideology since his youth. However, the boy had his reservations in regards to the possible return of the monarchy; he doubted that they could truly avoid the mistakes of the past. For his support during the uprising in Northern Harr'masir, the patriarchy of the Oliinyk family was given a seat in the parliament, a title of nobility, and a modest tract of land. Serhiy mistakenly believed that he could escape his bloodline's obligation thanks to his status as the third child. He already had a passion in his life: playing the P'rrama.

The war was cruel to the Oliinyk. Serhiy's brothers were killed while serving the army. This put him in an uneasy position as the heir of a parliamentary seat. The growing debt forced his father to sell whatever land they had left; the Oliinyk had officially joined the ranks of landless nobility. The final blow came in 2459 with the bombing of the Parliament; Serhiy inherited his progenitor's seat after his demise in the attack. The young musician was thrown into the midst of the New Kingdom's politics. Influenced by his social status and beliefs, he aligned himself to the Commoners Party.

If he is truly unable to escape his fate, Prince Serhiy decided to make the best out of it. Because of his age and a family full of martyrs, Serhiy became the Commoners Party's main spokesperson. Convincing the Queen to support the Populists will not be easy; the Conservatives and Absolutists are far more powerful and influential. A powerful strategy is necessary to guarantee the Commoners Party triumph in the parliament. Serhiy plans to retire from politics after the hereditary parliamentary positions are abolished and the Kingdom is fairer to its population. He hopes to return to his greatest passion: music.

Prince Oliinyk is a reserved person who prefers the company of his few trusted friends to the parties and neverending social schemes of the New Kingdom. Serhiy tries his hardest to separate his role in the parliament from his private life; he relies mostly on political alliances instead of his friendships to gather support. Besides his passion for music, Oliinyk enjoys frequenting Kaltir's theaters.

===Count Tscherim Sanguszkho===

Hailing from a cadet house of the Rrhakaslov dynasty, Tscherim Sanguszkho was born in 2433 shortly after his family escaped to Kaltir to avoid the First Revolution's massacres. He was raised on a small farm frequented by disposed nobles and royalist sympathizers. Sheltered from the rest of Adhomai, he grew only knowing the world only through the nostalgic tales of pre-contact Njarir'Akhran, The Sanguszkho family was quick to offer their support to King Azunja when he returned; the Tscherim's father was given a seat in the parliament. Tscherim became a low-ranking officer in the army.

Tscherim Sanguszkho's military career came to an end in 2460 when he was gravely wounded in combat. Taking advantage of his pension and family's position, Tscherim spent the next years in gentlemen's clubs. In these places, he entered into contact with radical Absolute Royalists and became deeply interested in [[Tajaran Minor Religions#Ancient Tajara Theory|esoteric beliefs]]. Tscherim founded his organization in 2462: the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity. Drawing inspiration from the stories of an idealized pre-First Contact society, the ideology known as Revival Royalism was born from the Fraternity's meetings. Posing as a regular club, Tscherim was able to introduce other nobles to his ideals. Knowing that the task of enforcing the old order was not an easy one, Sanguszkho chose a common enemy to unite the kingdom against: the Tajara of mixed heritage.

Tscherim's plan came to fruition when his father died in a car accident in 2463; he inherited a landed title, a state, and a seat in the Parliament. Shortly after, the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity opened its membership to the public and made its intentions clear. Thanks to a deal with the Officers and Royal parties, the Fraternity became the fourth faction in the Parliament. Despite being the leader of the smallest Party, Count Tscherim has already begun to plot to slowly introduce his ideology into the New Kingdom.

Tscherim is commonly described as eccentric, volatile, and intelligent. The Count is prone to descend into long, grandstanding rants - for every subject, he has a strong opinion that is bound to divide the room he is in. Sanguszkho's demagogic tendencies have earned him a fair share of allies and enemies. Aside from his interest in esoteric ideas, Tscherim is a heavy drinker who frequently visits all kinds of pubs.

===Ser Mrakhanjurl Ii'rka===

Mrakhanjurl was born in 2422 in a Zhan-Khazan family in a small village outside Olska. He received little education nor traveled far outside his village. As soon as he came of age at 16 he joined the rest of the village mining bauxite ore to be shipped to Olska to make aluminum. He eventually lost both parents to lung cancer from the mine's poor ventilation before he was 23. In 2452, when he was 29, he traveled with a dozen other Zhan-Khazan miners several miles to Olska to join a protest against the new legislation of President Hadii that was meant to crack down 'subversive elements' that many felt were unfair to Zhan-Khazan. The army was called in and brutally repressed the demonstration, which saw Mrakhanjurl narrowly escape with his life. He returned to his village to find that it had been torched by the republican army for housing subversive agitators.

Mrakhanjurl mourned the loss of his village and was picked up by rebel militia, who revealed that they had managed to provide early warning to the village and evacuate over a dozen people, but the army had managed to find and kill all but a handful of survivors. In gratitude for the rebels dying for his village, and to avenge the deaths, Mrakhanjurl joined the armed resistance that eventually joined itself under the New Kingdom of Adhomai. In a very short few years became a remarkable marksman, gaining the most recorded kills of any Tajara sniper. Current New Kingdom estimates put Mrakhanjurl's kill count at 285, 32 of those enemy PRA snipers.

Mrakhanjurl also managed to evacuate countless civilians from Republic territory to northern New Kingdom holdings. During the famous ''Rout of the 2nd Battalion'', in which New Kingdom defenders unsuccessfully attempted to prevent Republican forces from capturing Baltor, Mrakhanjurl assumed command of the 4th Company after both its leading officers had been killed by sniper fire. Despite a serious gunshot wound to the leg Mrakhanjurl began shouting orders and rallied the shattered defenders, who were the last line of defense between the advancing Republic forces and thousands of refugees attempting to flee the city. The ''Rally of the 4th Company'' on 2456 successfully managed to delay advancing Republic troops long enough for thousands of more refugees to escape into New Kingdom territory who would otherwise face atrocity.

For his bravery and growing fame (which was now considered too important to risk in the war effort), Mrakhanjurl was given the Order of the Victorious Sun, the highest honor in the New Kingdom, as well as being the first Zhan-Khazan in history to be given the noble rank of Ser. He remains a hero to the Zhan-Khazan and the New Kingdom.

===King of the Mountains Rustam Harmaliik===
[[File:harmaliik portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the king in his riding regalia, done in 2454.]]
Rustam Harmaliik was born in 2427 as the son of a deposed Njarir'Akhran noble family. He spent most of his youth in the rural region of Harr'masir, where he had contact with some groups of Rhazar'Hrujmagh that inhabited the region. As an adult, he found employment in law enforcement and was sent by the People’s Republic to support the efforts to settle the rock nomads of the Harr’masir region in 2448 as a Republican official.

While working alongside the authorities to make sure that the nomadic Zhan would accept and adopt a sedentary lifestyle, Rustam grew more interested in their culture and became skeptical of the Hadii’s regime and how they were treating the Rock Nomads. Unrest among the Rhazar'Hrujmagh soon followed, and Rustam would try to offer his support in any way possible, such as sabotaging equipment shipment or relaying misleading intelligence. The government soon realized his treason, forcing Rustam to abandon his post and escape into the wilderness.

Rustam found shelter among a caravan of the Rhazar'Hrujmagh, and soon adopted their way of life. Unrest and resistance continued among the rock nomads, and Harmaliik joined their struggle against the People’s Republic. With the New Kingdom’s rebellion, the control of the region waned and the Republican efforts shifted to other problems, which allowed the nomad resistance to blossom into guerrilla warfare. Rustam climbed the ranks of his caravan’s forces, winning prestige and favor by leading them against the Republican forces.

The second revolution happened, and the Rhazar'Hrujmagh resistance continued. Rustam assumed the leadership of his adopted caravan and aimed to acquire more support among the other Rock Nomads. Through the years of the conflict, he gathered more men and wagons under his command, through diplomacy or conquest, but limiting himself to defensive tactics, ambushes, and raids. The political stance of Harmaliik has always been one of neutrality in the conflict, never compromising fully with the Adhomai Liberation army, due to his Njarir’Akhran origins and monarchist sentiments, and never declaring any support to the New Kingdom, in fear of losing the trust of his fellow nomads,

Due to a republican offensive against the nomadic guerrillas in 2461, Rustam decided to declare himself the Almalik’Rhazar, a word roughly translated as "leader of the mountains", following an ancient nomadic tradition that allows the largely independent Rock Nomad caravans to elect a ruler among themselves. This decision alienated him from his ALA allies and the other nomads, forcing him to side with the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Harmaliik and his caravans have joined the kingdom war effort. He and his people were later granted the southeast territories of the New Kingdom for their support during the conflict.

===Brother Mikhail Ordau===
Little is known about Mikhail Oradu’s parentage. He was given to the Parivara at a very young age, left on the doorstep of Miran'mir's abbey. Thus the Family took him in as they do many small children, teaching him and educating him about S’rendarr and Messa. Mikhail was an accomplished writer for his age, but a speech impediment left him at a disadvantage when it came to oral presentations. The boy was known to be bookish, and spent much of his free time in the abbey’s library as well as its restricted section, thanks to his close friendship with the abbot.

He had an unusual interest in the sciences for a clergyman. As the Second Revolution loomed ahead, and whispers of splitting from the Republic crept into the local city, he busied himself with reading and tending to the monastery’s garden. Eventually, Miran’mir and all of northern Harr’masir split from the Republic to form the New Kingdom. With the war came plenty of hardship, and the Priests of S’rendarr did their best to help alleviate the tragedy amongst the peasants.

With little farmable land and a severe manpower disadvantage, the New Kingdom struggled to provide for its people. Starvation was a very real threat, and the abbey’s garden was not sufficient. A conflicted Mikhail turned once again to the abbey’s library and science for an answer; and, as though a miracle from the Suns themselves, one came. He discovered an ancient text detailing breeding methods for slaves, from long before the First Revolution. Suggestions on how to pass on desirable traits and mannerisms; to breed subservience. Controversial, but an unknowing descriptor of genetics and hereditary traits.

It was armed with this knowledge that Mikhail set about breeding new plants. Earthen roots, dirt berries, and more were cultivated for generations by Mikhail, aiming to pass on traits like hardiness and vitality. The plants became much more accustomed to growing in harsh conditions thanks to his work, and as the New Kingdom pushed back the Republicans and gained more territory, these hardier plants were easier to grow in the shell-shocked muddy battlefields. The threat of starvation became less and less pressing as more and more farms could deal with the way the war affected the terrain. For his efforts, Brother Mikhail was afforded a personal audience with the King.

===Oleg Al'Mor===
Born Oleg Murkov Al-Al’Mori in 2400, Oleg was a teenager when humanity stumbled upon the Tajara. His simple life of working and indentured servitude was suddenly upended with the influx of new ideals; he and his family, along with a contingent of other refugees of war avoided the conflicts erupting across the planet by staying in the mountains of Northern Harr’masir. To pass the time and keep themselves entertained, the telling of fireside epics became common. Oleg was noted to be imaginative with his tales even then, regaling other Tajara with stories of war and love.

Eventually, however, the nomadic hunter-gatherer life in the mountains could no longer support their numbers, and Oleg’s group descended from their hiding place. By this point, rebel armies had mostly taken hold of Kal’tir and the surrounding areas, giving Oleg relative freedom. When the war finally came to an end in 2432, Oleg was well known as a traveling bard and performer who earned his living using his creative skills entertaining war-weary soldiers and newly freed slaves. The stability that came with the formation of the People’s Republic afforded Oleg the opportunity to settle down in Kal’tir once again, where he took an interest in the local theater scene.

His first play, The Jester’s End, pioneered the form of black comedy and was a throwback to the days of servitude. Over the course of his career in Kal’tir, Oleg penned many more plays under his pseudonym Oleg Al’Mor, out of fear of inviting reprisals from the People’s Republic. Oleg’s plays were often scandalous or controversial for challenging the traditional morality held by Tajara. However, as time went on, his works became formulaic and much less shocking, and thus by extension more palatable to the average Tajara. Black comedy found a good home amongst the countless war veterans of the First Revolution.

Oleg considered himself an intellectual, and when the New Kingdom of Adhomai split from the People’s Republic he was an outspoken supporter. He and his family had experienced the benefits of the old ways, and with his considerable wealth from play royalties, he financed the New Kingdom with donations. Sadly, Oleg Al’Mor passed away in December of 2460 after completing his final work. The play, titled A Maiden’s Voyage, was particularly well-received, with even the King himself getting a private showing. Many of his works are still performed in theaters all over the New Kingdom’s territory.

==Others==

===Father Valyan K'rrirran===

''"From the stars, he saw Adhomai's cities and mountains become nothing more than specks. When he beheld the planet from far away, he realized that it was a small dot within this vast new galaxy. It was then he saw how truly special our homeland and our people are."''

''-Father Valyan K'rrirran, written as the ending to the prologue in his novel "An Introduction to The Twin Suns", 2430.''

Born in 2406 to a family of merchants in Dras’nrra, Valyan chose to join the faith at a young age, and became a fully-fledged Priest of S'rendarr in the midst of the First Revolution. It was during this time that Valyan had also become one of the first few Tajara to leave Adhomai. Settling on Xanu Prime in 2426 and remaining there until the war’s end in 2431, Valyan provided much of the first glimpses into the theology of the Tajara during this time. He, later on, returned home after publishing his novel written in Tau Ceti Basic on the history of the S’rendarr and Messa. Following the Second Revolution, he had replaced Walid Al’qat as The Father of the Parivara after Al’qat died of heart failure. Since gaining his position in 2462 the new Father has already demonstrated to Adhomai that he is able to rise to the task of leading the Parivara. Alongside his archivers, he had revealed misinterpretations in the vows of the Suns Sisters and amended the Vow of Silence to the original Vow of Whispers.

The Father has kept this momentum of progress going forward. In the same year, he began to assist with several archeological digs across Adhomai to gather more information on not just the history of the Suns faith, but also of the Tajara people. Much of this collection is digitalized and shared through a newly developed site (Simply dubbed “Parivara and Tajara History.pra”.) made by an influx of well-educated acolytes. Now, any curious Tajara or alien can find a trove of information on the Parivara and new details on the species’ history. This mix of preserving old traditions alongside progressing aspects of the church has made Valyan popular among the younger generations of Tajara, kindling their interest in the faith.

However, Valyan is not free of controversy. Some conspiracy theorists believe that he could have had a hand in the death of the previous Father, citing the lack of provided medical care and the quick selection of Valyan as the new Father. Others point to his connection to the revitalized Kin of S’rendarr and believe him to be funding the Kin, supplying them with off-world equipment and arms to continue their war against whoever is deemed the faith’s enemy. Nonetheless, these are regarded as little more than baseless rumors by much of the population.

===Tufir Nazzirai===

Tufir Nazzirai forever changed Adhomai with six laser pistol shots in 2451. Very few details are known about the Zhan-Khazan. It is known that he was a member of the People's Strategic Intelligence Services where he served as a field agent. It is known that he was 26 when he carried out the assassination of Al'marii Hadii. It is known that he had used an energy pistol, an advanced and rare weapon for a Tajara on Adhomai. Any other records of him have been removed from archives in the PRA by the PSIS. Many believe that only the upper party will know the full truth of Tufir Nazzirai. Theories abound about the Tajara and his motives. Some think that he was a double agent working for the Sol SIIB, received his pistol from them, and killed Al'marii Hadii on their orders. Some think him to be a Crevan who killed Hadii for clamping down on his city's businesses and causing economic turmoil. Some point to him as a Zhan-Khazan frustrated with his people's suppression who had decided to take revenge on the man behind it all. If one was to ask a dozen Tajara about it they could receive a dozen different answers. The lack of clarity about Tufir, his motives, and swift hidden trial and execution opens itself to boundless theorization and propaganda usage.

Tufir's legacy is one that cannot be avoided. His name is associated with betrayal and disaster of the highest scale. The PRA maintains that he was a monstrous reactionary who had done the murder to try and end the dream of Hadiism and that his Zhan-Khazan genetics' contributed to his desire for murder. The Al'mariists see him as a corporate agent who killed Hadii for NanoTrasen after Al’marii pulled back on deals with the shadowy corporation. But, for some, Tufir Nazzirai became a martyr. Citizens of the NKA point to him as a hero, despite his position, for killing the man that founded the PRA. Conservatives in the DPRA hold similar views as Al'marii Hadii was the one who began the suppression of local cultures and religions. Zhan-Khazan groups will also claim him to be a hero of their people. But, no idols or statues for him exist anywhere on Adhomai and beyond. Every day Tufir as a person slips away further and further into legend and infamy.

===Crown Voices===
Crown Voices are an all-female Tajara singing group hailing from the NKA, they specialize in vocal jazz and classical performances. Due to this, they have performed alongside a variety of bands providing musical accompaniment with the longest-lasting being a Zhan group called "The Underclass Brass". While relatively unknown, the three members were lifted from the edge of poverty by Prince Serhiy Oliinyk, who saw potential in them. Their biggest performance was at the Kaltir Royal Theater, where they performed an album titled "Northern Frost", written by an anonymous writer.

The song was panned by royalist critics, accusing him of attempting to push "misguided Nateedist ideas calling them unity." Yasmin Piaf surprisingly also spoke out against the group, accusing them of being an obvious and cheap copy.

Still, the group reaped applause and general positivity from lower nobles and peasantry, establishing them as a popular band among the lower social strata.

====Masha Il-Azura====
Masha is a Hharar, born during the later inter-war era she was only a child when the war began. She, however, lived a relatively well-off life as her father was a lawyer, allowing her to get proper musical education and graduate with honors. She and her family funded the band's early endeavors and with her help, they were noticed by prince Oliinyk. She is very quiet off-stage and prefers to avoid any interviews or conferences, many question why she even decided to become a celebrity. She does, however, seem very at ease with the other band members and when performing.

====Ilvya Kolovova====
Ilvya is a Zhan-khazan, born during the middle of the inter-war period making her the oldest member of the band. She is also the shortest of the three, despite being a Zhan-khazan, making her quite an oddity. She makes up for this with her forward and aggressive personality, as she was raised alongside 6 brothers on the streets of Kaltir. She is also the only member of the group with performing experience, as she provided musical accompaniment in multiple late-night bars. Due to her small size, she has the highest-pitched voice of the trio.

====I’sha S’rremich====
I'sha is an oddity even in the band, born during the late inter-war period she is only slightly older than Il-Azura. Born to a dockworker, she spent most of her youth doing hard labor, the sea shanties she'd sing with her father are what eventually got her a well-off spot in a local bar. In this bar she would meet with Kolovova and eventually Il-Azura. She is cool, levelheaded, and slow to agitate, serving as the spokesperson and centerpiece of the trio. Her critics also describe her as ugly and boyish, as she refuses to wear a dress, on or off-stage, due to her rough upbringing.

===Rikdar Al'Manq===

Rikdar was born on '''2429''' the noble Njarir’Akhran Bayan line in Nal'Tor, with Bayan being his birth name. However, his parents were disappeared by Republic secret police in one of the frequent purges of Njarir’Akhran and he was put into state-run foster care. He has raised in the ''House Of Young Patriots'' orphanage until he was adopted at 14 to Hharar parents and took their last name of Al'Manq. As he was going to school his parents and teachers immediately took notice of his artistic abilities and interest in painting, which the orphanage had initially tried to discourage. In 2446, when he was 18, Rikdar won an art contest where he submitted a portrait of his Environmental Geology teacher and gained a prestigious scholarship in the Nal'Tor University of The Arts, a state-funded institution.

Rikdar attended the university for several years, though his studies were sometimes interrupted or delayed by the periodic waves of anti-Njarir’Akhran demonstrations and violence that gripped the campus. However, he quickly became a prodigy amongst his peers. Al'Manq's style of oil painting and doing portraits became a sensation in the capital, with the mayor and several city officials requesting their portraits done. Rikdar graduated from university at 20 years old in '''2450''' with a Bachelor of Arts. Having already received several high-profile commissions, including the then-President Al'Mari Hadii, whose portrait was done a week before his death. Al'Manq managed to survive the resulting chaos across Adhomai following the assassination of Al'Mari Hadii by the nature of his celebrity status, but his popularity remains confined within the major cities.

At only 29 years old in '''2458''' the ''Al'Manq Style'' has already become a famous style of painting across Adhomai. The Al'Manq Style is noted for its use of rich oil-based paint that focuses on portraits and profiles. The colors are often bold or show rich texture and color. The hands of Tajara are painted without being anatomically correct. Critics blast Al'Manq's apparent inability to draw hands correctly but Rikdar has stated that it's his personal style. This has influenced other artists, and many attempting to pay homage to Al'Manq draw hands as stubby. Rikdar remains extremely popular on Adhomai. The People's Republic remains a quiet supporter of his work, and state officials pay him handsome commissions for their portraits to be done, though they frown on him taking commissions from New Kingdom officials as well. The Adhomai Liberation Army has painted Rikdar as just another nobleman and several members of the Liberation Army have given open contempt for his work.

===Bloodstorm===

Bloodstorm is a famous and infamous DPRA Heavy Metal Band that has surged in popularity with the younger “denier” generation. Those in this generation are categorized not only by refusing the current status quo, but also have a general disdain towards a complete return to Tajara roots or liberalization through corporations. Fans of this band are usually punks, anarchists,s and jaywalkers. While the band mostly operated inside the DPRA, during one of their galactic tours their citizenships were revoked, making it impossible for them to return to Adhomai. They currently preside in Mendell City.

====Vargir Stenovich “Godslayer”====

The lead guitarist of the group, Vargir Stenovich is known as the spokesperson of the band and the most controversial figures. Admitting to being a Raskara cultist in public and calling out the Parivara on their “bedding with the government”. Vargir has been involved in numerous scandals including protesting military parades, playing one of his songs next to a work camp without permission, and lastly ingesting drugs on live television and proceeding to slander the ALA for bombing the NKA parliament.
[[File:Bloodstorm.png|200px|thumb|right|Photo of Al-Atil at the Mztel'Mir concert, "War Is Fuck, Let's Do It", circa 2459.]]

====Janos Al-Lung “Drowner”====

Janos is the bassist of Bloodstorm and the only band member without a criminal record. He has frequently butted heads with Stenovich over the political extremities the band goes through to discredit not only PRA and NKA but also DPRA. Janos Al-Lung is currently the only member of Bloodstorm that is trying to re-apply for a DPRA citizenship.

====Al-Atil Csihar “Nightmaster”====

The vocalist, Al-Atil, is known for his “mrowl”, a high, long, yelp that is recorded as the loudest sound produced by a Tajara. He loves to interact with the public and often stays behind on the podium to sign autographs and fans using black or red spray paint.

====Cecil Kernov “Bloodletter”====

Cecil is the Drummer and has actually served time, unlike the other band members. Kernov has his nickname for a reason as he’s been charged with armed assault during his youth, which is how he met with Vargir. Later in life, he was arrested again, after he had brutally assaulted a fan who had climbed on stage with a drum, getting it stuck on said Tajara’s head and pushing him off the stage with a dropkick. This led to multiple fractures and long-term disabilities for the fan.

====The Mist “Mih”====

A yet unknown band member by the public, “Mih” remains anonymous always wearing a mask in public and never speaking. He plays the P'rrama, an old Tajara string instrument, with 8 strings mirrored in a long horn-like pipe that extends to the ground which emits a loud, brass twanging noise described as an over-amped guitar. "Mih" has been under investigation multiple times, however, the enigmatic member always manages to avoid the authorities.

'''Most Notable Albums Include:'''

''The Freezing Blizzard'' - An early, human metal-inspired album. "The Mih" was not a member at this time and the music avoids political messaging, mostly focused on heavy guitar riffs.

''War Is Fuck, Let's Do It'' - The "central" album of the band that rocketed them to popularity. Its anti-war messages resonated with a lot of the younger audiences who were tired of the usual acoustic and traditional sorrowful performances, preferring this new aggressive style.

''If Messa Was Here She'd Be a Whore'' - A distinctly anti-Parivara album, attacking their behavior towards women and female priests. The Mih joins the band around this time, employing the now-iconic P'rrama. While initially released to negative reviews, it slowly became a fan favorite.

''We Live in a Society'' - A very hateful album, attacking every faction on Adhomai, including the human Sol and Nanotrasen and their presence there.

''Shell In, Spine Out'' - Another anti-war album, the band's first attempt to create a narrative album describing the life of a dying soldier. Received both negatively and positively by the fans.

''S'rrendar Loves You Except He Doesn't'' - The critique of Parivara escalates in this album, would remain unnotable if it wasn't for the recording of Cecil attacking a fan with the drum.

''If You're Old You Should Die'' - A call to arms, actively encouraging the younger generations to overthrow the current system and drag all the politicians down. For many, this was a return to form, but also most likely the album that led to Bloodstorm's exile from the DPRA.

==S'rand'marr Worship==
''"By day and light of S'rendarr, we live and bask in his warmth, happy and content. By the warmth and light of Messa, we cease breath and fall to death. Only by the love and harmony of both the Twin Gods and Sibling Suns do we live happily, and die the same. By the Twin Gods and Sibling Suns, S'rendarr and Messa, the faithful ask for your blessing, and to please extend it to the non-faithful who do no wrong, and cast no sin."''
- The "First Prayer" of S'rand'marr Worship

The worship of the twin Adhomai suns, S'rendarr and Messa has a long-standing tradition among the Tajara people and has archaeologically been regarded, with the exclusion of other minor sects, as one of the oldest known religions, alongside the worship of Ma'ta'ke. The religion holds onto very traditional values, promoting collectivism, sharing, and helping those in need.

===Dichotomy of S'rand'marr===
The idea of S'rendarr and Messa being the literal suns is only a recent creation of misunderstanding of human researchers, instead, the two gods are a universe-spanning concept with the holiest reflection of their visage being the twin Suns of Adhomai. Many have questioned what the meaning of the two suns going out would be, the priests have an answer, as it has been prophesied that no Tajara shall live on Adhomai by the time the suns go out.

S'rand'marr was encountered by human researchers shortly after their arrival, as it is one of the oldest and certainly the most prominent religions on the planet. It grounds itself in strong communal morals, which have arisen from the frigid and dangerous environments of Adhomai. Its most important virtues are selflessness, restraint, family, and community. In this way, Tajara adherent to the ways of the S’rand’marr can come off as closed off to outsiders, backward, and even authoritarian in their way of belief.

Hiding one's feelings, keeping private matters private, and acting with reservation are expected of every Tajara, young or old. This has created a very conservative view on social life, wherein the whole village is expected to take care of the young and educate them, with the women providing for shelter and warmth and the men food and labor.

But times change, and with the arrival of industrialization, modernization, urbanization, and war, the faith has changed too. Nowadays it is not viewed as boorish or shameful if a woman works, as there is no shame in labor. However, she is still expected to be the one taking care of her children at the end of the day. Likewise, while some liberalization has taken place, the idea of harboring relations with someone not of your own species, of the same gender, or behaving much too openly is still considered sinful. It is, however, important to note, that the faith has never historically encouraged or partaken in violent action against such sinful behavior, rather encouraging spiritual counseling or recuperation.

The official religious body is referred to as "Parivara" which roughly translated means "Family". This branch is further split into the female Sun Sisters and male Priests of S'rendarr. Their main role is to act as mediators and healers and to remain out of political matters. But with the frequent factionalism of Adhomai, this is an impossible task and the church often ends up violating this rule. They do try their best to remain neutral, however, and many times in the past the Parivara has called for a ceasefire so that diplomatic talks could be had. There is also a certain silent agitation about the Ma'ta'ke religion and S'rendarr's position within their pantheon.

==The Parivara==

===Sana Sahira===
Sana Sahira, a holy city on the tallest mountain of Adhomai, the name roughly translates to "The City of the Suns", this temple-fortress is the capital of the S'rand'marr faith. . Being located in the Southern mountains of Adhomai close to Nazira, Sana Sahira has remained in the hands of the Parivara without dispute ever since it was built and its modification and improvement have never stopped. The venerable age of this temple is well known and respected, however, that never prevented the various Fathers from improving or attempting to improve on the original construction. With the additions of towers, temples, or walls to shield from winds, bandits, or invading wannabee conquerors. It is said that all who attempt to take the fortress, will be dragged away by the specter of Messa herself.

As of now, the temple is attempting its greatest project, properly archiving the “great horde of scrolls”. This "horde of scrolls" are venerated and holy texts that were hidden within the temple, however, the issue is that no previous Father bothered with giving any outlines or guides on what classifies as a Holy Text, and thus everything from hymns, poems, holy interpretations to even simple and menial works of fiction, diaries and even some shopping lists have made it into these "holy texts". The current priesthood of the temple is almost fully occupied with the task of proper sorting and plenty of debates are often held over what is and isn't to be considered sanctions.

The temple of Sana Sahira is not the only church of S’rand’marr, many have been built all over Adhomai and even in outer space. They provide both a place of respite and prayer for weary travelers and a place to stay for priests that consider priesthood employment. Sun Sisters and Priests of S’rrendar live together in these temples, however, in separate dorms. If it comes to smaller temples, like chapels or in remote faraway villages, preference is given to Priests of S’rrendar, as they’re considered more vital by the majority of Tajara.

===Children of the Parivara===

Adoption is frequent with the sun's priests and has been a time-honored tradition. However, due to the war, this became an issue to the priesthood who have found themselves at full capacity at many of their locations, and are forced to turn away orphans and parents hoping to ease their burden.

'''Seedlings''' – Youngest children who are either given to the church by their parents, taken as orphans or given as “bad seeds” to be re-educated. No gender differentiation or separation at this time.

'''Saplings/Mistlings''' – The rank for those raised in the church, students usually learning and studying how to reach priesthood. Both male(Saplings) and female(Mistlings), have to reach the age of 18 before becoming priests. Their education mirrors that of the Sun Daughters and Son’s of Dawn.

===Acolytes of the Parivara===

'''Sun Daughters''' - A Sun Daughter is the acolyte role of the Messa sisterhood. They can be outsiders of any age, as long as they pass a complex series of tests and interviews to see if they're qualified for the role. Their education is focused on theology, physical care, and mental care. In order to ascend to Sisterhood, two senior sisters must approve of their progress. Sun Daughters are allowed to leave the temple and preach in other areas, as long as they’re assigned to a local church that has agreed to keep an eye on them.

'''Sons of Dawn''' - A Son of Dawn is the acolyte role of the S'rendarr priesthood. They can be outsiders of any age, as long as they pass a complex series of tests and interviews to see if they're qualified for the role. Their education is focused on theology, oratory skills, and tradition. In order to ascend to Priesthood, two senior priests must approve of their progress. Sons of Dawn are allowed to leave the temple and preach in other areas, as long as they’re assigned to a local church that has agreed to keep an eye on them.

===Clergy of the Parivara===

'''Sun Sister''' – Their role is to heal, advise, and accompany those dying, helping them on their final voyages. They're a frequent sight in hospitals all across Adhomai and many physicians were raised as Mistlings or were Sun Daughters themselves. Mistlings become Sun Sister's upon being of age, however, outsiders must first become Sun Daughters. Due to the Vow of Whispers, they’re expected to take a secondary role in preaching, politics, and church finances.

'''Priests of S'rendarr''' – The main body of the faith, are tasked with preaching, the blessing of children, reading and copying of holy scriptures, and other priestly duties. They often have access to advanced education, meaning many of them are on the level of state-educated scientists, chemists, and philosophers. Saplings become Priest's of S'rendarr as they have been raised for such a task. Outsiders must first become a Son of Dawn.

===Head's of the Parivara===

'''S'rendarr’s Closest''' – Selected from Priests of S'rendarr by other S'rendarr's Closest. The application is based on reputation. A successful applicant will be given a region of Adhomai to administer, as well as a seat on the council. From then on he is responsible for all churches in that region, financially, morally, and in the actual physical upkeep of the buildings. Recently this system has been called into question, as the limited number of council members (44) means that churches outside of Adhomai do not have a legal administrator and are usually kept to the local priests. The applicant must be male, 44 years of age, and a Tajara born on Adhomai.

'''The Father''' – Currently Valyan K'rrirran. While usually leaving the administration to the S'rendarr's Closest, The Father holds ultimate power. At any time he can order, recall, or veto any statement made by any previous Father or member of the S'rendarr faith. This power is rarely exercised and the position of The Father has remained mostly an honorary one. Applicant must be at least 54 years old, and can only be selected from S'rendarr’s Closest.

'''The Mother''' – Currently Zuzana Il-Rranha. The Mother holds a secondary role to The Father, despite the duality of the religion. She holds no official power and remains mostly a figurehead. While in the past a Vow of Silence has been upheld, with her support it has been replaced with a new Vow of Whispers. Despite this, Zuzana opted to keep to the Vow of Silence to full effect until her death. The applicant must be at least 55 years old, and can only be selected from Sun Sisters.

===Vow of Whispers===

In the past, Sun Sisters used to swear a Vow of Silence. Forever forbidding themselves from speaking, with the exception of the Shi-rr’ata (Eclipse) holiday. This Vow had been in effect for hundreds of years, until the 18th of August, 2462 Central Galactic Time. After the Armistice of Shastar was signed, translators from the PRA were invited to the Sana Sahira in hopes of helping with certain translations. There, they had made a grand discovery, the sacred Vow of Silence was mistranslated in the past. With this knowledge, the newly elected Father Valyan K'rrirran, with The Mother's permission made an important announcement. The Vow of Silence is no longer a required vow and instead, it will be replaced with the Vow of Whispers.

Not as restrictive as the previous vow, the Vow of Whispers allows a Sun Sister to speak. However, her words must be heard only by the intended recipients, and only when it serves a purpose. If she wishes to preach, she can do so, but it should only be done if there is no Sun Priest present. If the sister chatters, spreads rumors, and babbles idly, it is to be reported to the nearest Sun Priest, who will administer her punishment. If no brother is present, she is to administer her own punishment. This vow is not literal, and the priestess can speak with normal intonation.

Answering a question, sharing a diagnosis, explaining holy teachings, and talking others through their issues are now all on the list of responsibilities. Some disagree with this decision, mostly the brotherhood. Some argue that this is infringing on the duties of the priests, while others say that it distracts the sister's from their maintaining and healing duties. Still, for the most part, it is a welcome change and while many sisters still choose to keep their Vow of Silence, many more welcome being able to heal the mind as well as the body.

==S'rendarr==

(The Golden One, Bringer of Seeds, Father of Daylight, All-father, Joy-Bringer)

S'rendarr is the deity of life, fertility, sunlight, youthful energy, and everything associated with the time of summer and daylight. He is considered the patron of pregnancy, youth, and farmers and so ends up being the more popular of the two siblings. However contrary to popular belief, S'rendarr is not associated with just the positive; fire, impatience, brashness, weeds, and natural drugs also belong in the domain of S'rendarr. In many ballads and hymns, he is described as overexcited and overzealous sometimes leading his more unrestrained followers into their opulence from which they are often rescued by Messa.

S'rendarr is the god Tajara call upon during their marriage rituals, with the birth of newborns, when giving praise or compliments to physical attributes;
"He has S'rendarr's eyes", paying someone a compliment.
"S'rendarr give you both long lives", a wish to the newlyweds.
"S'rendarr did not spare on this one", being impressed with one’s skill.

The most common portrayal of S’rrendar is a simple golden sun, if color is not available a simple whited-out circle will suffice. Such symbols are often drawn on cribs, field markers, or directly on livestock to bring life or a bountiful harvest.

''“Holy S'rendarr, bless this ravaged body!”'' - Post-battle prayer when one has sustained many wounds during their fight, 25th page, the third verse of The Brightest Sunlight Tome.

'''Kahara S'rendarr Mai'''
(Walk of S'rendarr On Earth)

Often simply referred to as “Mai”, this national holiday is popular with Tajara of all cycles, young or old. On this day a Sage of S'rendarr is chosen (usually a mayor) in each city and blessed by the priest. He is given a jug and seed and tasked with putting at least one seed and one drop of water upon every doorstep. While the tradition is still followed accurately in rural areas, in the more urbanized centers of Adhomai this has taken a more liberal approach as instead men of all ages run into the streets, visiting door to door asking for Ruined Water(Alcohol) and Rotten Seeds(eggs) while singing carols. The woman of the house is tasked with providing such things, if the carol is sung well the carolers are rewarded, if their singing, however, is slanted and drunken they're instead doused in cold water and forced to return home.

===Marriage===

'''S'rendal'Mati'''
(Live with S’rrendar)

One of the most joyous and important matters of the clergy is marriage, unlike the religion of Ma'ta'ke, the church of S'rendarr recognizes the importance of a wedding, and the preparations for such celebration can take days. The day of the wedding begins early in the morning with the preparation of seating and decoration of the local church or other equally important building, be it spiritually or administratively. Once those preparations are finished, usually two to three hours before noon, the food is brought in, consisting of rich meats and fruits, however, during the war it was usually substituted with rations. About an hour before the wedding ceremony, the bride and groom are woken up and dressed, the groom in a bright yellow and white wedding suit with a tall, frilly hat. While the bride takes on a much darker, fully encompassing dress but not restricted regarding the coloration. Nowadays, many Tajara opt for more humanized styles of clothing, such as suits and wedding dresses.

Precisely at noon the bride and groom meet at the altar, and a present priest recites the holy vows and with the wedding wrist wraps, one blue for the bride and one of gold for the groom ties their hands together. Afterward, a representative of the local government has the bride and groom sign into the marriage registry. From then on celebrations begin and many use wedding days to secure their own future brides and grooms. The bride and groom are required to stay tied together by these wrist wraps until the end of the celebrations. From then on the two wear their respective wrap, in order to signal that they’re taken. The PRA government does not officially support this ceremony and does not provide representatives, newlyweds must visit the local city hall or post office to sign the registry. It is illegal to be considered married without signing the government registry.

Cloth wrist wraps are not a requirement but it is required that the two items which are supposed to signify a bond must "connect" or be capable of intertwining together. Further one must be darker than the other one. Jewelry, silk, or even rope has been used in the past instead of wrist wraps.

==Messa==

(The Last Mother, The Sister, The White Goddess, Soldiers Wife, The Weeping One)

Messa, the somber, colder, and female goddess of Adhomai. Contrary to initial human belief, Messa is not an evil deity, she is, however, tasked with the difficult job of ushering the deceased into her realm, bringing both life and death into balance. She is the deity of inevitability, old age, and winter, but also of guidance, wisdom, protection, and patience. It is she who protects the souls of the dead and it is she who permits the end of suffering. In this way, she also represents peaceful resolutions and the inevitable end of conflicts.

Messa is the god Tajara call upon when they wish for a peaceful resolution, have met with someone unpleasant, or when describing a Tajara's mental attributes.
“Messa guides him,” a wish of farewell.
“Messa! Look what you did!” a curse offering a sense of reprieve.
“He has Messa's patience,” a compliment.

Messa is usually depicted as a blue sun, if color is not available an empty circle will suffice. Her symbol isn’t representative of a blessing, but protection. It is drawn to chase out evil spirits, protect the souls of the deceased, and even during exorcisms.

'''Shi-rr’ata'''
(Eclipse)

Due to the trajectory of Adhomai, there comes a time every year where Messa the blue sun completely eclipses S'rendarr the yellow sun. This results in the reduction of natural light and a complete change of the Adhomai color pallet. For most Tajara this means that they’ll partake in the ancient rituals of “Shi-rr’ata” or “The Eclipse” as it is translated to Tau Ceti basic. Preparations for these rituals usually take up the whole week. Candles, incense, the burial of all that is dead, purchase of talismans from the local Sun Sisters, and many other local rituals commence. Some Tajara seek the advice of ancestors during these times, others wish to make peace with the dead or those wronged and others still wish to simply live out this day in contemplation and prayer. This day is not somber for all, however, for example, the Sun Sisters celebrate during these times, seeing it as a sign of their goddess’s satisfaction. There is, however, a dark ritual carried out. A rumor has spread that if one dies during this holiday, they are guaranteed a passage to Messa’s forever, regardless of how sinful their life is. The Parivara has denied this, despite this, cases of the poor, hungry, sick or dying, being killed by their relatives appear from time to time. Many say the Sun’s Penitent has started this rumor, the group refuses to comment.

'''Virr Henhati'''
(Last Ritual)

Upon death, a ritual to call Messa is to be performed as soon as possible. Usually, the closest relative or a member of the clergy would be expected to perform this ritual, but with the recent turbulent years, it is something a close friend or a physician can perform instead. The steps to follow are to make the body face the skies, reinforce their grip upon the last thing they held in their hands and close their eyes. Once rigor mortis sets in, the body is ready for burial, as it marks the soul leaving the body.

==Burial==

While Burial is regarded as much less important than the death ritual itself, it is nonetheless an important part of passing, as disrespect to the dead can cause reprisal and wrath.
The proper way to pass, according to the S’rrand’marr, is to become one with the stars. The preferred method being incineration, however, in the cold climate of Adhomai, this is not always possible. Thus the more common methods were tree burials and elevated burials, wherein the deceased would be sealed inside a wooden coffin and raised among the branches or upon an elevated platform. There his body would be safe from scavengers and would eventually, with time, turn to bones, which would be later burned in a regular fire and their name would be etched inside their home by a relative to watch over them.

With urbanization, starvation, and warfare these burials became too lengthy and towns would quickly run out of space, and so families were encouraged to store bodies until enough accumulated to justify a mass burial bonfire. Many were outraged and a few peasant rebellions were launched, which were quickly suppressed. Family tombs became popular for those who could build them, those who couldn’t; would simply store their dead in their own homes, usually in the attic which wasn’t heated, or an adjacent shack. With the rise of industrialization, cremation became viable and even preferred and now makes up the majority of burials in Adhomai, with even smaller villages keeping a dedicated furnace for the dead. A few Tajara have taken it a step further and had their bodies launched straight into the suns, although this is considered distasteful by most, NT promotes this service.

===Death===

The nature of Messa’s forever has been disputed ever since the two gods existed. Some argue it is a quiet and peaceful place where one enjoys their final rest, others say it’s a great hall where Tajara dine at giant golden tables, Ma'ta'ke at the head, mead, and meat aplenty. Even more say that Messa’s forever is akin to the life Tajara lives today, however malleable to suit the wishes and needs of every Tajara. But all texts agree that it is a pleasant place, many alleging that the fact they do not know what greatness awaits them, means it is indescribable.

The power of Messa over the souls of the dead is indisputable, and while Tajara do believe in ghosts, spirits, and other such things, they are often understood as Messa giving someone a lesson or a chance to finish their earthly deeds before their final rest.

It is ascribed that Messa is relatively forgiving. Those who lived sinful lives will spend a hundred years on their journey for each sin not forgiven or repented for. Said journey is cold, lonely, and painful, ensuring that what is owed in repentance is paid in suffering. But for those who purposefully go off the path, those who betray, lie and mislead. Only one faith awaits, Raskara.

==Raskara==

(The Strange One, Whisperer, Black Mirror, Stranger, Door and Key, Maggot Fathermother)

Raskara is an anomaly, not only theologically and historically but also astrologically as the moon, representing Raskara, is older than Adhomai. This suggests it is an asteroid snatched by Adhomai’s gravity, rather than a piece of Adhomai that separated during its forming. Some historical sources disagree, saying the moon was no present until Tajara inhabited the surface, but this has been debunked by modern science and the Parivara itself.

Raskara is only described in a few scriptures and is always referred to as “it”, rather than “he” or “she” as is the case with the other gods. Likewise, it seems to be identical to its representation in the Ma’ta’ke pantheon, that a being of pure evil. In S’rrand’marr it represents everything unnatural or evil; debauchery, treachery, unrighteous war, denial. The worship of Raskara is forbidden by clergy, and while the law does not outright forbid it, worshippers are usually arrested on vague charges of public debauchery or political dishonesty. Despite this, there are a few who invoke its name for worship.

Using Raskara in an insult or a cuss word is on the level of an extremely inappropriate slur and should be avoided in all formal social situations.

'''Shi-rra Arr’Kahata'''
(Darkest Eclipse)

There is a day every twelve years where Raskara eclipses both S'rendarr and Messa. These are considered very bad times. Tajara do not leave their homes, clergy spend their day praying and hoping for tomorrow, complete darkness envelops Adhomai even during the daytime. Likewise, all trade is halted, and a state-mandated holiday is ordered for all Tajara present on Adhomai. Life brought to the world on this day is not celebrated, as it is said that children born on this day have traded their souls for special powers, they are accredited with the ability to read minds, project curses, control others with a single glance and read the future. Many families choose to dispose of their newborns on this day, and while it is illegal, every governmental body on Adhomai, outside of the atheistically minded PRA, tends to turn a blind eye to this practice.

==The Suns War of Harr'masir==

Throughout the history of Adhomai, the Raskariim was always a secretive religion, living on the edges of society. However, ancient historical and religious texts indicate that during a certain period of Tajaran history the cult of Raskara had a large influence over the continent of Harr’masir.

Around the year 1600 CE, the empire of Azumah was affected by a succession crisis that resulted in a civil war between several factions; claimants to the throne, rebels, and separatists. Most of Harr’masir soon turned into a lawless hinterland, controlled by bandits and warring princes, which facilitated the resurgence and spread of the faith of the Moon. Many nobles and commoners formally adopted the Raskariim as their official faith, renouncing S’rendarr, Messa, and the deities of Ma’ta’ke. Temples and shrines dedicated to Raskara were built across the land of Harr’masir, and the society descended into debauchery and cruel religious rituals, including the return of ritual murder. It was a common practice for criminals and even armies to raid the colonies and other kingdoms such as the isle of Amohda.

The Parivara, distressed by the growth of the Raskariim, requested that the kingdoms and empires of Adhomai act against Harr’masir. An alliance between several monarchs and noble houses, led by the kingdom of Kaltir, organized a massive military campaign to invade the continent. The expedition landed on Baltor and marched to the interior of the country, defeating the drunken and splintered warring princes easily. Hunting down criminals and pirates, destroying temples, and killing countless warlocks and followers of Raskara.

It was a resounding victory that sent the Raskariim fleeing into obscurity. The cult was considered utterly defeated by the nobility at the time, with many believing that it would never rise again. Unfortunately, this attitude would prove to be a mistake as it allowed the cult to rise again hundreds of years later, now with a much friendlier and adaptive attitude to the modern Tajaran lifestyle and mindset. But where Raskara goes those capable of fighting it follow, and the renewed Kin of S'rendarr.

===Kin of S'rendarr===

The Kin of S'rendarr is a knightly order of the Parivara church, established during the long-ago Sun Wars. The order itself had fallen out of grace during the later years, its internal hierarchy completely subservient to the Parivara and without any ties to the aristocracy made the ruling classes displeased and suspicious after the Sun Wars had ended and the usual bickering between nobles resumed. Parivara, however, continued their recruiting, and eventually, the amount of armed peasantry in the Kin outnumbered the aristocratic knights, leading to the monarchs at the time to enforce strict taxations and tariffs upon the order militant. Members of the Kin, unable or unwilling to pay these taxations all eventually renounced the order, disbanding it.

The Discovery of humanity, wars, suffering, and corruption have all lifted the Raskariim out of the shadows with Tajara even publicly admitting to membership. With the Adhomai governments refusing to take this issue seriously, the Parivara was forced to once again call in the order militant. An act that has so far gone mostly unnoticed, as the number of recruits so far numbers in the low hundreds. These new investigators have taken to the streets, trying to find and weed out any possible cultists. Be it with the governments' help or without it. Shining armor replaced by a classy trenchcoat, sword with a revolver, and zeal with cunning, these new investigators have begun to trail all Raskariim activity. The investigators themselves have practically no authority, as they’re not recognized as official investigators by any of the governments, although many of them are employed in the police force. The New Kingdom of Adhomai had gone a step further, and re-instated the previously mentioned taxes, cutting the recruitment in the NKA almost immediately. While the Commoner party disagrees, the Officer Party and Noble Party support this decision.

The investigators of this order usually identify each other with Rosettes depicting S'rendarr orange sun clutched in a gloved hand, and ritual shillelaghs they carry on their person at all times. The order accepts all Tajara above the age of 15 with the exception of the mentally or physically handicapped or those born while Raskara, the moon, was at its peak.

[[Tajara|Tajaran]] history and society has a long list of notable individuals and heroes that are known across [[Adhomai]].

==People's Republic==

''"Comrades, in this struggle we fight to protect the progress we have fought so hard to make in the preceding decades. Our march forever onwards for a Hadiist society must not be stopped by the usurpers who would see us become a brutish military dictatorship, nor those fetid imperialists who would restore the atrocities of the old ways."''

''- President Njadrasanukii Hadii, in a televised address to the people in 2452.''
===President Njadrasanukii Hadii===

[[File:Hadii portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the president, done in 2460.]]
Njadrasanukii Hadii, also known as Malik Hadii, was born in '''2402''' to the noble Njarir'Akhran Hadii line. His mother was Rajjurl Hadii, and his father Tajrhalrr Hadii. He got involved with the military at an early age, becoming a cadet for the Royal Navy at 16 and achieving a commission as a Lieutenant-Commander at 22, and leading his own destroyer as a Captain at 29. During the revolution, he briefly fought for the loyalists but was recalled to the Hadii Citadel to help defend his family's ancestral home. Following the revolution and the Hadii's rise in the new Federal Republic, Njadrasanukii was given the office of Vice-President under his brother Al'Mari Hadii.

Malik assumed the presidency in '''2451''' after the assassination of Al'mari. He continued his brother's early agenda of collaborating with NanoTrasen and other galactic powers. Njadrasanukii purged any suspicious elements from his administration after the Nated's coup, consolidating his power through the imprisonment and execution of anyone that threatened his regime. Further authoritarian measures were established by him; the expansion of the secret police, the rapid industrialization of the PRA, and further persecution against those who did not conform to his policies. Under Malik Hadii's control, the current form of Hadiism took shape; an ideology focused on the creation of a monolithic Tajaran culture under the unquestionable guidance of the Hadii political line. The office of the president had its powers largely expanded under his rule, allowing Njadrasanukii to control all aspects of the People's Republic government. Total loyalty to Njadrasanukii is expected from all Party members.

A state-endorsed cult of personality has been established around President Hadii. Through a robust propaganda system, republican citizens are informed daily about Malik's achievements and how only through his guidance the Republican can prosper. Portraits of President Hadii can be found in most Hadiist homes and government buildings. Njadrasanukii is known for his speeches praising his own administration and the bravery of his people; his voice can be heard frequently on the radio. While many admire him as a strong leader, others fear his ruthless ways of dealing with the opposition.

President Hadii is famous for his extreme paranoia. Very few high-ranking members of the Party have direct access to him and little is known about his private life. He is constantly surrounded by hand-picked members of the secret service; those bodyguards are always under the risk of being purged for any reason. It is rumored that he has survived more than three hundred assassination attempts.

The few Tajara who had the opportunity to know President Hadii personally, portray him as energetic, charismatic, thoughtful, but deeply paranoid and vindictive. Njadrasanukii cultivates an image of a simple Tajara; he leads a frugal lifestyle with few material needs. Because of the nature of the PRA's government, President Hadii's work and private life are deeply entangled. President Hadii's favorite pastimes are watching movies, playing Farehal, and reading books; rumors claim that Njadrasanukii has at least 20,000 Tajaran and alien books in his private collection.

Despite the outcome of the Second revolution, Njadrasanukii continues to rule the People's Republic with an iron grip. He did not give up his plans of reestablishing Hadiist hegemony over Adhomai.

===Headmaster Harrrdanim Tyr'adrr===

Harrrdanim was born in '''2425''' to a M'sai family serving the Hadii during the First Revolution. Wishing to follow in the footsteps of his parents, he joined the Hadiist Party at a young age. He soon caught the attention of the People's Strategic Intelligence Service due to his craftiness and was given a position in the agency. Despite enjoying moderate success during the late years of Al’mari’s rule, Tyr'adrr rose to prominence after the President’s assassination. Leading several purges within the secret service, he was able to secure a promotion as the Headmaster after the previous head was arrested for suspicious behavior. Under Tyr’addr’s control, the PSIS became the feared terror machine it is today. Heavy investments in surveillance technology, the establishment of a robust web of informants, and the large-scale repression of political opponents greatly weakened the opposition in the People’s Republic. His supposed adventures during this period have spawned an entire "spy thriller" genre in the Republic.

After helping secure President Hadii's rule, Headmaster Harrdanim focused his efforts on fighting the Liberation Army and the New Kingdom. Ruthless anti-partisan campaigns were carried out under his supervision. The displacement of Chaniska’s native population, scorched-earth tactics in Northern Ras'nrr, and the creation of Try'urma Penitentiary were among some of his orders during the conflict. His actions during the Second Revolution earned him the reputation of being merciless and bloodthirsty. In spite of several assassination attempts, ALA agents failed to murder him and he continued his reign of terror unimposed.

Even after the Armistice, Headmaster Harrdanim continues to work tirelessly to undermine the enemies of the Republic. He has a large interest in securing the Tajara population living outside of Adhomai and is responsible for the PSIS presence in District Six. He is eager to suggest more authoritarian solutions and believes in increasing, even more, the state’s control over the population. Because of the role of the Strategic Service in the government, Tyr'adrr is one of the most powerful and hated Tajara in the People's Republic. While seemingly loyal to President Hadii, many in the Party fear where Tyr'adrr's ambition might lead him.

Analytic, controlling, and cold are some of the words frequently used to describe Harrrdanim's personality. The headmaster is known to calculate every step on his way; he tries his hardest to manipulate the events in his favor. Tyr'adarr is also infamous for never assuming any kind of blame - a scapegoat, willingly or not, always shows up to take the fall. Thanks to his position in the government, little to nothing is known about his personal life.

===Party Secretary Yakiv Hadii===

Yakiv Hadii was born in '''2412''' as the second cousin to President Hadii. While too young to take part in the First Revolution, Yakiv joined the Hadiist Party as soon as he could. During Njadrasanukii’s rule, he excelled as a bureaucrat due to his organizational skills. He managed the distribution of land and the establishment of communal farms during the Republican Agrarian reforms. Through a combination of political maneuvers and nepotism, he quickly climbed the Party's ranks. Yakiv sought to further the Republican relationship with NanoTrasen, seeking their support for the development of Adhomai. This stance caused him to lose Al’mari’s favor during the years leading to the Second Revolution. He was then demoted to an unimportant position in the Ministry of Agriculture.

Yakiv returned to prominence after Rhagrrhuzau’s assassination; he was seen as a way to link Malik’s rule to his now-deceased brother. Following the abolishment of the office of vice-president, Yakiv was promoted as the Party Secretary by Njadrasanukii. He became responsible for the internal organization and reviewing applications to the Party; he was quick to remove many of his political opponents from power using his new powers. Known as unquestionably loyal to President Hadii, he became infamous for being nothing but a yes man. He continued his policy of maintaining good relations with megacorporations, lobbying for more deals with NanoTrasen. Countless Tajara were given the opportunity to leave Adhomai due to his efforts, most sold as cheap labor while some others were able to acquire higher education. During the final stages of the war, he was one of the main proponents of the need for foreign intervention to save the People's Republic.

After the Armistice, Yakiv remained as Party Secretary. He is one of the closest advisors to President Hadii, helping Malik in matters related to internal and external affairs. Despite being an orthodox Hadiist, he is eager to push for changes to appease NanoTrasen and other foreign powers in an attempt to gain their support. Many within the Party see Yakiv as a power-hungry and untrustworthy politician, eager to abuse his power to reach what he wants. Others recognize him as a cunning politician with a rather dangerous influence over President Hadii.

Yakiv Hadii is a notorious opportunist and sycophant; he is always trying to acquire any kind of leverage where it might exist. Personally, this means that Yakiv is more than eager to make friends with anyone of any importance. However, the friendship might come with strings attached: a request to repay a favor or take part in a shady business. Yakiv takes full advantage of his position within the Hadiist Party to indulge himself in all luxuries available to the political elite. Because of this lifestyle, Yakiv has become noticeably overweight.

===Minister of Defense Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar===

Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar was born into a Hharar peasant family in '''2428'''. He was raised around veterans of the first revolution and was always interested in their stories. Owing to the new opportunities brought by the People’s Republic, Irbaykhan enrolled in a military academy and joined the Grand People's Army as an officer. He survived the purges of the early Hadiist government because of his political reliability; as he was one of the first army leaders to support President Hadii during his ascension. This left him in the privileged situation of being one of the few properly trained officers at the dawn of the Nated’s coup.

Irbaykhan quickly climbed the ranks of the Republican Army during the Second Revolution. Making extensive use of artillery and motorized troops, he secured early victories that gave much-needed breathing room to the fragile Republic. While in command of the Dymtris Front in '''2456''', he pushed the New Kingdom into the defensive position that they would remain in until the very end of the war. Mirarkiizar’s final promotion during the conflict was to the theater commander of the Rass’nrr Military District. With the help of the alien allies of the Republic, he managed to recapture the main region of the continent. He was given a seat in the Ministry of Defense after the Armistice, working alongside the upper echelons of the Party to refine the Republic’s strategy.

Unlike most members of the Ministry of Defense, Irbaykhan has both political connections and practical experience in the field. This combination has made him one of President Hadii’s closest advisors in regard to military matters. Currently, he is responsible for the Hro'zamal campaign. Mirarkiizar sees the Grand People's Army as an essential component of the Hadiist state; the ever-vigilant guardian of the Republic against its enemies. The Minister believes that strict discipline and union towards a common goal is the best way to safeguard the future of the People’s Republic.

Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar is known for his disciplined and simple lifestyle. The Minister is very strict with his routine and commonly scolds Party members, other generals, and his family for being what he would call undisciplined. Irbaykhan is well-known for his unquestionable loyalty; he would prefer death over treason. He is only seen out of uniform when fishing - Irbaykhan's favorite pastime.

===Minister of Technology Zhuldyz Hadii===
[[File:zhuldyz portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A picture done of Zhuldyz Hadii in her lab, created in 2462.]]
Born in '''2420''' to the Hadii dynasty, Zhuldyz enjoyed the many privileges granted to her family. She grew up fascinated by the new technologies brought by human contact; she would spend hours tinkering and dismantling electronics during her childhood. Later she was sent to study in prestigious Solarian universities, where she ventured into the field of robotics. Zhuldyz returned to Adhomai in 2449 and was granted a post in the Ministry of Technology.

Using the knowledge acquired off-world, Zhuldyz drew plans with the objective of modernizing the Republic through a technological revolution. The rapid industrialization aided by mechatronics would bring prosperity to the Tajara. While many of her initial projects were abruptly interrupted by Rhagrrhuzau's assassination, she remained in her position due to being a member of the Hadii dynasty. The unstable early years of Njadrasanukii’s presidency were unfavorable towards her dreams; stopping Nated’s coup and the Royalist uprising were top priorities at the time. However, as the frontlines stagnated and a semblance of normalcy returned to the People’s Republic, Zhuldyz had the chance to convince President Hadii of her plans. Knowing that losing the war would put an end to her pursuits, she turned her genius to the military field. Victory could be achieved through technological superiority. She was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Hadii Institute of Orbital Research|Hadii Institute of Orbital Research]], the expansion of the [[Tajara_Space_Capability#PRA_Army_Wing|Orbital Fleet]], and the creation of the Tesla Brigade. Zhuldyz was promoted to the office of the Minister of Technology shortly before the Armistice.

The Adhomian Cold War became the perfect testing ground for Zhuldyz's projects. She sees the period of peace as an opportunity to turn the People's Republic into a technological powerhouse. Zhuldyz believes that the future of Hadiism lies in the science and that the Republic must become advanced enough to subjugate its enemies. Minister Hadii is not interested in ethical or safe research; she is eager to pursue dangerous and questionable experiments. No price is too small to pay during the march of progress. President Hadii gave Zhuldyz near uncontested authority to lead the Ministry of Technology. She was the mind behind the creation of the first independent robotic factory on Adhomai.

Due to her upbringing, she is a brilliant scientist and a charming conversationalist, but at the same time, she frequently refuses to admit fault and is quick to scrutinize the work of others. Holding them to nearly impossibly high standards. Many scientists have been transferred to less desirable positions due to failing to meet Zhuldyz's demands. She is a notorious workaholic who only leaves her laboratory to attend political meetings.

===Secretary of the Navy Hura'zhi Mira'zkui===

Born in '''2422''' to an exiled line of minor nobility from the Zatushka Kingdom, Mira’zkui grew up in the chaos of the First Revolution as the armies of the Hadiist rebels marched across Adhomai. When the dust had settled, despite his personal wishes to enter the party itself, his family would convince him to uphold their old traditions and join the forming Republican Navy in '''2447'''. It was then that Mira’zkui met Dynhaas and joined the Oceanmasters Lounge.

During the chaos of Dynhaas’ defection in '''2450''', Mira’zkui narrowly avoided his own death. Informed early by a loyal lieutenant that his own crew was plotting to kill him, Mira’zkui fled in a lifeboat and watched as his fellow officers were thrown screaming from the decks of their own ships. A few days later, he was found on the shores of Ras’nrr. As the Republic fell into chaos, Mira’zkui returned to the Republican Navy as Secretary, entrusted by Malik Hadii to fight against the pirate flotillas of the ALA and the Royal Navy. However, Mira’zkui’s loyalty was not able to make up for his inexperience. While the last of the Liberation Army’s pirate vessels were sunk, he was unable to contend with the strength of the Royal Navy and unable to achieve his personal desire: Capturing or killing Dynhaas.

Post-War, Mira'zkui has largely become reclusive and withdrawn from the public eye. While he continues to try and develop the Republican navy, Mira’zkui is forced to contend with funding going towards the projects of the Orbital Navy and Grand People’s Army. With a relationship of mutual dislike between himself and Zhuldyz Hadii, many within the party believe that Mira’zkui will likely be replaced eventually. How he would react to being denied any chance for revenge against Dynhaas is something no one knows.

===Chief Naval Commander Samirro Qarrarhaz===

Born in Northern Ras’nrr in '''2407''', Samirro was the son of a loyal M'sai general in the Hadii Hegemony. Qarrarhaz's family raised and taught him to follow in his father’s footsteps. He would become an artillery officer in '''2428''', finding great success during combat against monarchist groups through using extensive shelling to force and flush out the enemy. By '''2431''' Qarrarhaz was moved into Southern Harr’masir to prepare for an invasion of the Kingdom of Kaltir. His artillery crews were among those who scoured the Kingdom following its surrender, shelling whatever villas, castles, and manors they had found. A staunch ally of Al’mari Hadii and his family, Qarrarhaz has always stood by the Hadii family and the republic they had later built.

While also providing training for future artillery commanders in the interwar period, Qarrarhaz became part of a committee formed by President Al’mari Hadii to plan and prepare a space fleet for the PRA. He, along with other committee members, traveled to the Coalition of Colonies' planets of Xanu Prime and Himeo to observe anti-piracy operations in order to better develop the PRA’s own future space warfare doctrine in '''2452'''. When the Orbital Fleet was completed by '''2457''', Qarrarhaz was appointed Chief Naval Commander by President Malik Hadii. Since then, he has won numerous victories against piracy, smugglers, and even bested a [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/?do=findComment&comment=114422 Sol cruiser].

Post-war, Qarrarhaz continues to lead his spaceships and Kosmostrelki in the defense of the PRA’s claimed space. Comfortable and experienced in his position, Qarrarhaz has begun to speak more on the future of the PRA’s ventures into space. Controversially, the Commander has stated that the PRA must eventually extend its hand to the numerous small colonies and off-worlder communities dotting the frontier around them. Arguing that Hadiism’s light must be spread beyond Tajara, it is his belief that the PRA must one day uplift these groups from their poverty and absorb them into the state.

===Minister of Education Kalim Khazdar===

Kalim Khazdar was born in '''2430''' to a family of Hharar foremen in the city of Tampiska. Deemed a bright child by his teachers, he was sent to study in Al'marii. Captivated by the tales of progress and prosperity brought by the interwar period, Kalim enrolled at the Al'marii College of Hadiist Sciences. He continued his studies intending to become a college teacher. During his time as a student, he became a good friend and protégé of the rector of the university, Mahir Hadii. His friendship with a member of the political dynasty opened many doors for him.

Kalim joined the Hadiist party during the Second Revolution. He later visited Tau Ceti to study the Adhomian community there; his experiences in District Six deeply affected his ideas. He saw all the social problems that those who lived under the megacorporation rule were subject to. Instead of losing faith in Hadiism, he started to believe that reforms were necessary to save the People's Republic; NanoTrasen should be a means to an end, not the end itself. Kalim returned to Adhomai in 2459 and became a college professor. Thanks to his connections, he soon got involved with the administration and politics of the university. His papers on the subject of Hadiist education were generally well-received by the academia.

With the Armistice of Shastar, Kalim Khazdar aligned himself to the Young Hadiist faction; his sympathy towards the movement was largely unknown to the Party. His ascension to the position of Minister of Education in 2463 was the result of a confidential deal between his mentor and President Hadii. Despite being considered a powerless and inexperienced politician by the other members of the Hadiist cabinet, Kalim is not to be underestimated. Cunning will be necessary to avoid the wrath of President Hadii and his lackeys. The path to a truly free People's Republic will be a long and difficult one.

Usually depicted as a wide-eyed idealist, Kalim Khazdar is anything but naive. The few years he spent navigating the political fields of the Al'mari College transformed him into a bright, yet deeply cunning individual. Kalim rarely loses hope; he prefers to spin every defeat into a minor setback to maintain morale. Many wonder how long it will take for Khazdar's optimism to be crushed by the People's Republic politics. Besides his academic and political work, Kalim has published Hadiist realist poems and short stories.

===Yasmin Piaf===

[[File:Yasmin portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A piece of a poster, promoting Yasmin Piaf's concert, 2463.]]
Yasmina Burokov, aka Yasmin Piaf, was born in 2434 in the suburbs of Nal'tor to a particularly well-off Njarir'Akhran family. Yasmin's father, Boris Burokov was a low-ranking State department official and devout loyalist of the People's Republic. She spent her childhood being educated in the best State-run schools their family could afford and enjoyed relative wealth and prosperity far from the poorer outskirts of the city.

Even from a young age, Yasmin was interested in music. She was part of her school's choir and participated in several nationwide contests for the honor of singing for President Rhagrrhuzau Hadii. The all-female 'Band of Njarir Maidens' consisting of Yasmin and her classmates eventually won and sang for the President and other members of his cabinet at the end of the annual military parade held in Nal'tor. Eventually, she graduated and went on to the Academy of Musical Arts with a full scholarship.

Talent scouts pruning the burgeoning academy's student pool for the next starlet eventually discovered Yasmin during rehearsals for the school's upcoming musical, and she signed a tentative deal with the small publication Vostak Recordings. Her first record, simply titled The Man in Rouge, was released with minimal fanfare. Given that she had sung a small solo during her performance for the President, some Tajara recalled her name.

Yet her voice, described by some as angelic and innocent, found purchase with an aging generation of Tajara who wished a brief return to peaceful normalcy following the First Revolution. Her dedication to the traditional pop standard and recognition for torch songs eventually elevated her to the status of a household name, with her recording label releasing hit after hit. As a result, Yasmin Piaf has become one of the most famous singers in the modern era - one who has fostered a close relationship with State officials. She is one of the few artists who are approved to be played on State radio KGTW-11.

===Andrey Borisov===

Out of all the Tajara that one could argue embody loyalty to the People’s Republic, perhaps none are more memorable than Andrey Alexander Borisov. In the average Republican household, his name is just as common as President Hadii’s, owing to the fact that he is the face of State propaganda and news network RAFИ. Born in 2416 to a line of M’sai warriors, Andrey was not even two years old before humanity stumbled across Adhomai and lit the flame that ignited the First Revolution.

Andrey’s father and uncle were killed in the uprising, leaving him, his mother, and his sister alone to fend for themselves. His mother curried favor with the local rebel leader when their town fell to the onslaught of war; she became his concubine and, later, his wife. The ever-advancing front saw Andrey moved from home to home, where the young M’sai would often spend time talking to soldiers recovering after harsh fighting. They nourished a sense of patriotism in him, and eventually, he came to see the First Revolution as necessary for the future of the Tajara.

The war ended in 2432, when he was merely 16 years old. As the newly founded People’s Republic began the arduous transition from a movement to a government, Andrey’s connections with the upper echelon of PRA politicians bore fruit. He was taken on as a member of an officer’s general staff, headquartered in Nal’Tor, where he served as little more than a glorified secretary. His position put him in contact with the elite, however, and many found him charming and personable. His silver tongue earned him the interest of Dmitrys Marakov, the owner of the only State-approved television station at that point in time.

His ascension from lowly secretary to the major news anchor for RAFИ was one that involved plenty of political maneuvering, money - and, rumored by some, violence - but ultimately Andrey had proved his loyalty to the political elite of the People's Republic and he was rewarded with the honor of being their mouthpiece. As a result, no Tajara on Adhomai can go very long without seeing his smiling face on their television set, spinning the next story or cover-up at the behest of the State.

==Democratic People's Republic==

''"We are soldiers. We are fighters. We are war. We have forsaken the corrupt and decaying corpse of the xeno-loving People's Republic. We have left our homes and our families, but our cause is righteous. The suns are with us! The vile usurper of my friend and comrade Al'mari will have justice delivered to him! We will spill the blood of our enemies until our struggles are seen and heard, and we WILL retake OUR Republic!"

''- Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan, the day after the coup de tat began, 2451.''

===Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan===
[[File:Nateed portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A surprise picture of Nated, taken in 2458.]]
Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan was born in '''2404''' to a M'sai family under the service of the Hadii Dynasty. The son of a royal guard, Nated interacted with many Njarir children in his early life. He grew to resent their narcissism but was prepared to inherit his duty nonetheless. When the First Revolution ignited in '''2421''', Halkiikijr fought for the loyalists alongside the Hadii family. Becoming a battle-brother of Rhagrrhuzau Hadii, or better known as Al'Mari Hadii, Nated stood with the Hadii’s decision to abandon their royal roots and join the revolutionaries. When the war ended Al'Mari was sworn into office, Halkiikijr was made a Commander in Chief of the Republican Army in return for his service.

Al'Mari supposedly made promises of swearing-in Halkiikijr as the next president of the People's Republic once the political climate on Adhomai had stabilized. The legitimacy of this claim is not known, but what is known is that Al'Mari was assassinated during a military parade in '''2451''' and Njadrasanukii Hadii, vice president of the People's Republic, swore himself in as the successor of the presidency. Outraged at the assassination and accusing Njadrasanukii of treachery against the People’s Republic, Nated organized a coup against Malik. Bringing together military commanders dissatisfied with the new Hadiist policies, Halkiikijr created the Adhomai Liberation Army to dethrone the new President. He then took the title of Supreme Commander.

As the putsch attempt was thwarted by the Hadiist forces, Nated fled to Shastar City. The coup then turned into a full-blown civil war between the Liberation Army and the People’s Republic. Without off-world help, Nated called to arms anyone willing to support his cause. His movement became a unifying front to all kinds of elements opposing President Hadii; from democratic reformers to extremists fighting to free Adhomai from alien influence. For a decade, Halkiikijr led the Liberation Army as an effective opposing force against the People’s Republic and the New Kingdom. He favored the extensive use of irregular warfare coupled with the deployment of the army to secure decisive battles. A cult of personality formed around Halkiikijr; extremists claimed that he was a prophet sent by the Gods. The Supreme Commander took advantage of this belief to cultivate undying loyalty and fanaticism among his followers.

Believing that the territories under his control were ready for a democracy modeled after the Al'mariist principles, Nated's undisputed rule came to an end with the creation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai. Halkiikijr retired from his position as Supreme Commander to prevent a coup against the newly elected president. His retirement did not last long; he returned to power because of the Amohdan crisis in '''2462'''. Nated was given back the control of the Liberation Army and its remaining juntas to retake the Island of Amohda. After this display of weakness, Halkiikijr is unsure if the DPRA is truly ready to rule Adhomai. For him, the ALA is now more essential than before. Nated also faces infighting between his two right-hand men; commander Kahan and Kyff.

While some may call Nated an opportunist or a loyal friend to Al'mari, what is certain is that he is determined. Both in his personal and political life, the Supreme Commander is known to never lose sight of his objectives. This might lead him to make promises that might be hard to fulfill, but Halkiikijr rarely goes back on his word. Because of his association with the most radical elements of the ALA and his tendency of using his position of authority to interfere in disputes, he is a firm believer that the end justifies the means. Because of the utility of his cult of personality, Nated avoids exposing much of his private life.

===Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad===
[[File:Kahan portrait.png|200px|thumb|left|Commander Hro'rammhad in his summer uniform, taken in 2461.]]
Kahan Hro'rammhad was born in '''2412''' to a Hharar family as their oldest children. A peasant from birth in the region of Southern Harr'masir, he was taught the traditional values of S'rendarr and Messa by his deeply religious parents. His childhood was cut short by the outbreak of the First Revolution; his family was expelled from their lands by the war. Thanks to its flat terrain, Southern Harr’masir saw the first deployment of armored vehicles in the conflict; trains, civilian cars, and trucks were outfitted for warfare by the rebels. Hro’rammhad joined the crew of an armored car as soon he turned 14 years old. Because of the high mortality among the revolutionaries, Kahan quickly found himself in the command of his own brigade. He became famous for his excellent use of the vehicles’ speed to encircle the enemy, and for his merciful nature. Monarchists soldiers were always given the chance of joining his side after capture. Hro’rammhad also forbade unnecessary executions and mistreatment of prisoners among his fighters.

Commander Kahan and his brigade were incorporated into the Hadiist faction shortly before the end of the First Revolution. As a member of the Republican Army, he was a major proponent of the transformation of the People’s Army into a motorized force. Tank brigades and motostrelki units were created under his supervision. Kahan funded the reconstruction of many temples destroyed during the revolution and frequently donated to charity through the interwar period. Hro’rammhad joined Nated’s coup due to his profound disagreement with Malik’s policies; he saw the oppression of the Zhan-Khazan as morally corrupt. Armored units that defected alongside him were organized into the Hro'rammhad Tank Corps under his command.

Hro'rammhad remained a merciful and pious Tajara through the Second Revolution. He rejected the notion of irregular warfare and continued to offer mercy to his enemies. As the leader of the main armored force in the Liberation Army, Kahan played an important role in decisive battles. This position allowed him to become a right-hand man for Nated. As part of his religiousness, Hro'rammhad considered the conflict to be a battle to protect the faith against the innate atheism of Hadiism. Religious imagery and motifs became common among his Tajara. The men under Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad are known to have the utmost respect for his bravery and mercy, most even going so far as to worship him as an embodiment of S'rendarr's justice. His success during the civil war earned him the nickname of “Undefeated Commander".

Despite the armistice, Commander Kahan remains as one of the second-in-command for Halkiikijr. He is an avid supporter of the transition to democracy, advocating for the dismantlement of the juntas. This position earned him many enemies among the more authoritarian elements within the Liberation Army. He is known to despise Commander Kyff Hotak for his tactics and personality. Both Tajara are currently engaged in an internal struggle to consolidate their influence over the Liberation Army.

Thanks to his religious upbringing, Commander Kahan is a forgiving and honest individual. He may be eager to let bygones be bygones, but he is not easily fooled by malicious intentions; anyone trying to take advantage of him will not have an easy time. Hro'rammhad enjoys spending his free time with his family. His thirty years-long marriage sired nine children - three of whom lost their lives in the Second Revolution.

===Commander Kyff Hotak===
[[File:hotak portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A picture of Commander Hotak along with his pet Farwa, taken with flash in 2458.]]
Born in the year '''2406''' to a family of Zhan-Khazan miners in the Trizar, Kyff Hotak was supposedly destined to slave away for his Njarir master as his ancestors did for many generations. To avoid this fate, Hotak fled his home as a young Tajara. He ran into the wilderness until he found a bandit camp. Because of his age, the brigands decided to adopt Kyff as the group’s mascot. The boy grew up witnessing all kinds of crime and violence; later taking part in the band’s activity when old enough. The bandits sided with the rebels during the First Revolution in search of plunder. But their greed was their undoing; the criminals were massacred by the revolutionaries after they were discovered stealing rations. Hotak survived by being the one to report the activities of his previous comrades. As the war dragged on, Kyff became more bold and cruel in his revolutionary activities. He frequently engaged in assassinations, massacres, and false flag operations to crush the monarchists’ morale. Hotak was soon feared by his comrades and hated by his enemies. To him, everything was permissible to achieve victory. Impressed by the victories of the Hadii faction, he joined them as part of the early Ha'narr Corps.

The interwar period was fairly unremarkable for Kyff Hotak; he was given a low-ranking office position in the intelligence department. While Hotak advocated for the recreation of a force similar to the Mountain Ghost Corps, his request was ignored by the Hadiist high command. Memories of his excess in the First Revolution stopped Hotak from receiving any further promotions. He grew discontent with the People’s Republic, believing that he deserved more for his service. Seeing Nated's coup as an opportunity to rise to power, Kyff defected to the Liberation Army without hesitation.

Hotak organized his own unit of commando early into the war; a battalion trained in stealth operations. As a major proponent of irregular warfare, he also helped organize guerilla cells and coordinate terrorist attacks. The success of these groups granted him enough influence to become one of Nated's right-hand men. However, Commander Kyff quickly returned to his old ways; he started to wage a campaign of unrestrained terror. The presence of his soldiers became a harbinger of indiscriminate persecution, murder, excessive property requisition, and collective punishment against any community suspected of working with the enemy. Despite the protest of the civilian population and Commander Kahan, Halkiikijr refused to replace Kyff. Taking advantage of his reputation, Hotak ordered his Tajara to spread stories of him being the earthly manifestation of Messa's wrath. This tactic proved to be effective both among his enemies and allies.

Commander Kyff Hotak remains in service even after the armistice. Many within the army and the civilian administration desire to see Hotak punished for his war crimes, but Supreme Commander Nated continues to protect him. Kyff is a hardline supporter of the more authoritarian elements in the government and desires a strong centralized leadership above all else. He and Commander Hro'rammhad are rivals; both Tajara commonly fight each other over which direction the Liberation Army should go. Hotak is always accompanied by his pet [[Adhomai#Farwa (Tree-Hopper)|Farwa]], Ghiyath.

What little is known from Kyff's personal life does not paint a picture much different from his time in the army. Cold, ambitious, and cruel are some of the terms commonly used to describe Hotak. For him, other people are merely stepping stones on his path to power. To maintain his mythical image as Messa's wrath, he avoids any kind of social interaction with anyone outside of his inner circle. Kyff is a famous animal lover - besides his Farwa, he is also the proud owner of several domesticated Ha'rrons.

===President Almrah Harrlala===
[[File:harrlala portrait.png|200px|thumb|left|A portrait of the president during one of her speeches, done in 2461.]]
President Almrah Harrlala was born in '''2426''' to a family of Hharar factory workers in Shastar City. While her childhood was relatively unaffected by the First Revolution, she enjoyed many of the benefits brought by the People’s Republic during the interwar period. Being the first member of her household to receive a proper education, she became involved in the Party’s politics at a considerable young age. She believed that a stable democracy built upon the will of the people was the best path for Adhomai. She was also wary of the presence of megacorporations on the planet, considering their activities as harmful to the development of the Tajara species She campaigned for more worker’s rights and laws restricting corporation’s activities in the PRA. Almrah held a position within the Party until the ascension of President Njadrasanukii Hadii; he ordered the arrest of Harrlala due to her views.

Harrlala was held prisoner in Shastar during the first moments of the Civil war, only the capture of the city by the Liberation Army saved her from being transferred to another location. Hoping to continue her career in politics, she aligned herself with the rebels. Even if the despotic and extremist tendencies of the ALA worried Almrah, she held to Nated's promise of saving the Republic. She was given the position of Provisional Minister of Civil Rights when the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai was established.

As the Minister of Civil Rights, Almrah worked to protect the regional identities present in the DPRA. Her campaign to end military rule over the country while still upholding the principles of Al’mariism made her a popular figure among the moderate sectors of the population. Seeking to expand her political influence, she founded the National Adhomai Worker's Party. She was one of the candidates in the presidential elections of '''2460'''; she won the office of president by a narrow margin. President Harrlala’s ascension to power displeased the authoritarian wing of the Liberation Army, the military then planned a coup to restore their own rule. The putsch was stopped by the intervention of Supreme Commander Nated, who later resigned from his position to grant more powers to the civilian administration.

Following the Armistice, President Almrah Harrlala continued with her internal policies while maintaining a strong stance against foreign dominance. Under her rule, schools to preserve local cultures and languages were established, Gakal’zaal was liberated from the Unathi rule, and the DPRA developed its nuclear program. Her status as one of the first female rulers in modern Tajaran history has inspired many women to engage in DPRA politics. However, her regime is plagued with deep issues. The ghost of separatism lingers over the nation after the Amohdan attempt to secede. Her ability to reconcile the various factions in the government was severely doubted when she failed to draw a plan to handle the rebellious island. Since the return of Halkiikijr to power, the authoritarian elements see this as a moment of weakness in the young Republic. President Harrlala must be ready to face further opposition if she wants to see her vision of Adhomai come to life.

Often described as patient and focused, President Almrah Harrlala is not easily dissuaded from pursuing her objectives. When faced with hardship, she prefers to withstand the storm while continuing to work on her projects. Alongside her hectic political career, Almrah leads a modest life without much excitement or luxuries. In her sparse free time, she enjoys playing Mahmrro and visiting Das'nrra's countryside.

===Ex-interim President Brajrr Alnadruskiy===

Born in '''2423''' in the city of Mztel’mir, Brajjr Alnadruskiy was the youngest child of a family of brewers. He later joined the Republican Army at 17 years old, slowly climbed the ranks through diligent service to the military. Brajrr attributed the prosperity of interwar Adhomai to the strong leadership of President Al’mari; he believed that the Republic always needed a strongman in control to succeed. He severely doubted Malik’s competence because of his decision to undo his brother’s reform.

Brajrr finally rose to prominence with Nated's coup. Upon hearing of the revolution, he rallied the Liberation Army’s aligned troops in Das’nrra to assault Shastar. Alnadruskiy's attack was successful and he was named the Rrhaza-Akhran of the city. Shastar became the headquarter of the ALA, giving Brajrr a reasonable amount of influence within the army high command. He was known for his rigorous discipline and unforgiving nature. Many war prisoners were forced into labor by his orders. Brajrr was given the position of Interim President when the Democratic People’s Republic was created.

Alnadruskiy ran for president in the 2460 elections, seeking to centralize the nation and maintain the Army’s sway over the government. He founded the Free Tajaran People’s Party, gathering the most authoritarian elements in the Republic. After Almrah Harrlala’s victory by a narrow margin, he took part in the putsch against the newly elected president. Despite the defeat of the mutiny, Brajrr managed to convince Halkiikijr that he was forced by the extremists to join them. He was released and allowed to return to politics.

Ex-interim President Brajjr Alnadruskiy now leads the opposition to Harrlala’s regime. He continues to support a centralized state under the leadership of Supreme Commander Nated. Even when the successes of the current administration displease him, their latest crisis has given him enough to challenge Almrah. The return of Halkiikijr to the control of the Army is also considered a victory for him and his followers. Alnadruskiy awaits for the right moment of weakness to retake control of the DPRA.

Brajrr Alnadruskiy is notorious for his unforgiving and rigid personality. He never forgets or forgives any wrongdoing, no matter how small. Brajrr has a large collection of grudges - he diligently waits for the opportunity to exact revenge upon those who wronged him. Alnadruskiy is also unreasonably stubborn; he rarely takes other points of view in his decisions. The Ex-interim President is a compulsive and skilled gambler; his favorite game is Suns and Moon.

===Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar===

The first and thus far only incident of weapons of mass destruction being employed on Adhomai happened in 2458, when the People’s Republic dropped a four-megaton nuclear bomb on the Liberation Army base in Quizosa. The death toll from the detonation was staggering, but the fallout from the bomb was carried on strong winds, leading to severe cases of radiation poisoning from the neighboring camps.

Tajara medical experience with radiation poisoning and the effects of nuclear bombs were practically non-existent. The only species in the galaxy that had the technology long before the Tajara were Xenos, and the Liberation Army did not have the luxury of free contact with extraplanetary forces. With the sick and dying mounting, a call for help was sent out to the surrounding territories. Many physicians and doctors made the long and difficult journey in the winter snows to help - at the forefront of them, Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar.

The effects of the bomb were catastrophic. Survivors were badly burned. Their fur fell out, never to grow back again - leaving them susceptible to Adhomai’s frigid temperatures. Their skin peeled off in sickly ribbons, hanging limply to the ground. Doctors were at a loss, with only a rudimentary understanding of what could have happened. Dr. Aleksandra took a sort of unofficial command of the medical effort, and coordinated efforts to assist the sick and dying.

Liberation-sympathetic Tajara, at her prodding, recovered as many documents as they could regarding the atom bomb from PRA-aligned holdings, downloading information from the extranet and thieving textbooks from high-security locations. Thanks to her ingenuity and leadership, the haphazard medical team of doctors saved a great many innocents from a slow, painful death - though they would have to live with the effects of the bomb for the rest of their lives. Dr. Aleksandra is widely known for her opposition to nuclear proliferation, due to her experiences, and has become the face of a growing anti-WMD movement across Ras’narr.

===Arzjun Haurjuhrl===

Rumors persist that Arzjun Haurjuhrl was sired out of wedlock, a result of an affair between a Zhan-Khazan mistress and a rebel leader. He was born in '''2427''' in the warmer regions near the city of Olska, and lived alone with his mother. He was scarcely a child when the war ended and the People’s Republic came to prominence. Both he and his mother suffered much in the way of discrimination - for being Zhan-Khazan as well as having a bastard child. This disconnect between what the People’s Republic promised and the way they were treated caused the young Arzjun to become disillusioned with the Republic.

He was further tested when his mother suddenly fell ill and died in the winter of 2445. With nothing left tying him down, abandoned as he had been by Adhomain society, he took what little funds they had been saving and paid a smuggler to carry him off-world. It took every penny but eventually, he found himself in Mendell City, carrying nothing but the clothes on his back. For a time, he lived on the streets, forced to beg to make ends meet. He soon found work at one of the shelters he had often stayed at. The community of Little Adhomai was more welcoming to him than the homeworld had been.

Deciding to pay back the kindness he received, he took part in many community outreach programs, including plays and dramas for the children of Little Adhomai. His passion for the arts as a medium of expression took root here, and his name rose to some prominence amongst the local Tajara population thanks to his charity work. He aspired to work on his own big picture and got his chance thanks to the collective donations of many Tajara. Wealthy Xenos also had an interest in seeing what the immigrant could do, though perhaps a few thought it would look good as a public relations move.

The script he wrote went through many revisions and sat for a good while before it was picked up by a studio. The community who had helped him before had done it once again; the surprise blockbuster When Summer Came to Nazira was one of the top ten highest-grossing films in Biesel history. Its anti-tyranny message was seen by some as an expression of the director’s own viewpoint on the People’s Republic. In some ways, they were correct - Arzjun is a quiet supporter of the DPRA, which has put him at odds with the Republican government. As a result, his film is banned from showing on Adhomai - though this has not stopped smuggled copies from being distributed amongst DPRA theaters.

==New Kingdom==

''"Loyal subjects, countrymen, brothers. It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that we must conscript from the provinces in order to maintain our fight in this war. However, you are not alone. Even as the new compulsory service legislature is passed, the aristocrats across the kingdom are likewise mobilized under a new service gentry system, so that all of the Kingdom is together in this struggle."''

''- King Vahzirathaamro Azunja, announcing the beginning of conscription and formalization of the service gentry in 2453.''

=== King Vahzirthaamro Azunja===

King Azunja was born in 2400 in the city of Kaltir to the noble Njarir’Akhran Azunja line. His father was Farkhanzirhal and his mother Dramahdarmah. Located in the far reaches of Kaltir, the Azunja family line was one of compassion and fair treatment, as only in unity and brotherhood could they hope to survive the harsh far reaches of Northern Adhomai. Their peasants were kept well and treated with dignity, and the nobles, while privileged, never indulged in cruelty. A noble paige since the age of 10, Vahzirthaamro excelled in reading and writing from an early age. He prepared to inherit the family throne as the sole son of his parents until the first civil war of Adhomai ignited in 2421.

When war broke out between the nobility and peasants, house Azunja was hesitant to pick sides, as they disagreed with the morals of both sides. Their distant position in the wild made them capable of ignoring the war until its end, as the Hadii family was placed at the head of Adhomai in 2432. Carrying the flags of the newly founded People's Republic of Adhomai, the Republic's army demanded the surrender of all nobility in Kaltir. The entire populace requested to be left in peace, as the peasantry and nobility there had never declared war on one another. Believing the peasants were utterly spineless and brainwashed, the People's Republic executed all current nobles ruthlessly, scattering the royalty of the region. Vahzirthaamro was placed in prison by his father's retinue of intellectuals, who declared he had to remain hidden amongst the lowest of the low if he wished to stay alive. From that moment on, Vahzirthaamro Azunja knew that peace was impossible so long as a compromise was not made, and a true constitutional monarchy was made the unanimous government on Adhomai.

Word passed amongst the Tajara at the work camps about the possibility that Vahzirthaamro still lived as many pre-war intellectuals gathered with him in private. They spun every possibility of a government, even discussing adopting human political systems as they gathered workers, fighters, poets, and philosophers to form an organized nation as they spread their ideas to the guards of the facility, a majority of which who were old peasants under the Azunja family who thought the entirety of the nobility had been executed. Delighted to see his return, they joined his side and swore allegiance to his family once more.

In 2449, in the middle of the night, Vahzirthaamro was released in secret along with the entirety of his retinue, as they quickly spread from town to town, asking for assistance from newly appointed officials and workers. Before long, the reminiscent families of the Kaltir region were happy to rejoin their flock. By 2450 his claim to rule had spread to all of Northern Harr'masir, and the New Kingdom of Adhomai officially seceded as an independent nation under the newly declared King Vahzirthaamro Azunja. He then led the Kingdom for the next decade, managing the balance between the different factions within the government and the ongoing war. Vahzirthaamro became a unifying figure for the population. After successfully securing Kaltir's ancient lands and negotiating the armistice that brought the end to the war, King Vahzirthaamro passed away in 2463. His niece, Shumaila Azunja, inherited his throne.

===Queen Shumaila Azunja===

[[File:Shumaila portrait.png|200px|thumb|right| A portrait done of Queen Shumaila Azunja, holding the ceremonial orr'bu s'rrendar, circa 2460.]]
Shumaila Azunja was born in 2431 in Northern Harr’smirr, as the daughter of one of the kingdom’s princes. She survived the Republican slaughter by being hidden away among the peasantry, raised in secret by individuals still loyal to the old ruling dynasty. From a young age, Shumaila began to participate in secretive royalist circles within Kaltir. Here, she began her service to the kingdom by helping distribute leaflets proclaiming the coming of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. When the uprising broke out in 2450, she joined the new Imperial Adhomian Army. Shumaila then rose through the officer ranks quickly, becoming a commander in the Jabrut Almumalik and establishing a name for herself on the front.

Many of those who served under Shumaila describe her as being a woman of unbreakable will, never faltering as casualties stacked or as barrages shattered the ground around her. Some even say she wouldn’t even blink at the sight of the PRA’s dreaded tanks rolling towards the lines. For her exploits in the war’s 2459 offensive and the defense of the Vlrralkhzazhul line, Shumaila came to be known as “The Storm of Harr’smir”, matching her iron will with a burning fury to destroy the kingdom’s enemies.

In 2460, after meeting with several prospective heirs, King Vahzirthaamro had chosen his niece Shumaila to serve as the Crown Heir. Although the majority supported this decision alongside most of Parliament and the nobility, a large fraction remained wary of the decision of a military leader over other options. However, this opposition has shrunk over the past few years. Shumaila remains strong on her position of expanding the military, but she has also spoken about increasing ties to the galaxy’s Megacorporations to modernize the New Kingdom. Nor has she made any comments regarding changing the democratic systems of Parliament and the Chamber. Coupled with her public appearances and active presence in the newspapers, many woes and worries of her ascension have been dissuaded.

Since entering the public eye in 2459, Shumaila enjoys much support from the women of Kaltir. Many look to her as an inspiration, buying “military” style jackets to emulate her look, given that Shumaila became one of the few Tajara women to lead a nation. However, this fame has also led to calls from the nobility and her family to choose a husband. Shumaila retains that her marriage comes after her coronation. She was finally crowned in 2463 after King Azunja passed away. Outside of continuing her uncle's legacy, her plans to the Kingdom are still unclear to the wide public

Often called headstrong, Queen Shumaila's personality is very different from her predecessor. She appears calm and resolute during her public apparitions, however, rumors claim that she has frequent bouts of rage while in private. During her free time, Shumaila enjoys collecting and riding cars, playing Traiaz, and hunting. She has shown little to no interest in arranging a marriage to secure a direct heir.

[[File:Marshal portrait.png|200px|thumb|left| A portrait of Field-Marshal Zarkradar'Akhan, circa 2420.]]
===Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan===

Rrhazhal was born in '2380 to the noble Njarir’Akhran Zarkradar'Akhan line, however, he was a legitimized bastard of a Zhan-Kazan maid. As the youngest of his brothers, Rrhazhal was sent into the service of the Azunja family as King Farkhanzirhal Azunja's servant at the age of 10. King Azunja noticed the young child had a talent for philosophy and strategy. The two had many intellectual discussions together as Rrhazhal quickly became a trusted advisor of King Farkhanzirhal by the time he was 20. At this time, King Azunja decided he trusted Rrhazhal with protecting the life of the newly born Vahzirthaamro. On the eve of the First Civil War, Rrhazhal was tasked with training the peasantry of Kaltir in order to defend their fiefdom and nobility against attackers. When Kaltir was annexed by the People's Republic of Adhomai in 2432, Farkhanzirhal frenziedly ordered Rrhazhal to hide Vahzirthaamro before People's Republic soldiers stormed the palace, killing almost everyone. From then on Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan personally accompanied Vahzirthaamro Azunja as his protector and chief advisor.

In 2450, once the New Kingdom had officially declared independence from the People's Republic of Adhomai, Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan was promoted to the rank of Field-Marshal personally by King Azunja, and today oversees all military operations inside of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Respected for his tactical skill but notorious for his radical belief that a compromise is not possible and a complete return to the old nobility is Adhomai's only option for peace, Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan is one of the oldest fighting nobles left on Adhomai.

Rrhazhal is old-fashioned, methodic, and extremely loyal. Accustomed to the strict military life, the Marshal rarely deviates from his routine. Zarkradar'Akhan is notorious for his lack of sense of humor. Rrhazhal's sharp mind has begun to show the signs of his age after the death of King Azunja; the marshal sometimes forgets details and has trouble remembering his previous orders. In his sparse free time, Rrhazhal enjoys practicing wood carving.

===Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas===
[[File:dynhaas portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A commissioned portrait of Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas from his book cover, done in 2463.]]
Hailing from a royal cadet line and born in 2402, Dynhaas followed his father and brothers to join the Das’nrra Empire’s navy at a young age. When the First Revolution came, naval losses coupled with the rebel conquest of Das’nnra resulted in Dynhaas, the last man left of his line, surrendering and being imprisoned. With the war’s end in 2432, Dynhaas was offered a pardon by the Party in exchange for developing the Republican Navy. He would come to accept this over the alternative of death.

Accepting his defeat and believing that the age of nobility came to an end, Dynhaas came to view the Republican Navy as his new purpose in life. He worked to advance it alongside other pardoned nobles and founded the Oceanmasters Lounge, a private club within the naval officer corps. This path in life would change with the announcement of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Believing that a way to restore the old glory days of kingdoms laid with the NKA, Dynhaas began to plan a revolt. Partnering with other sympathetic admirals, he had the Republican Navy’s Grand Admiral and several other loyalists killed on a fateful night at the Shastar Naval Base before fleeing eastwards in 2450. In the same year that the New Kingdom was declared, Dynhaas delivered them the strongest naval force Adhomai had ever seen. King Azunja had declared him the Kingdom’s Grand Admiral shortly after meeting with Dynhaas in Miran’mir.

With the Republican Navy's command almost crippled and the ALA unable to compete with their dominance of the sea, Dynhaas used his fleets during the war to support and supply the Royal Army while helping smash the enemies of the New Kingdom. The artillery barrages of his ships were important in coastal battles during the NKA's offensives while their supremacy saved the Royal Marines from certain destruction following the failed Ras'nrr expedition. The prestige of his position made Dynhaas an instant celebrity in the NKA as well. Many propaganda reels and photos showed him as a majestic lord of the sea, something he capitalized on heavily to present himself as the very pinnacle of noble glory. Always well-groomed, well-dressed, and impeccable at talking despite whatever circumstances he was in, Dynhaas never passed the opportunity to host an interview. Most notable was Dynhaas' interview on his opinions of xenos of the S'rand’marr coalition, conducted on his capital vessel while it sieged Nal'tor in the final stages of the war. His statements on Unathi and Skrell were less than positive. After the expulsion of the People's Republic from Harr'masir in 2461, Admiral Mahtra infamously ordered the Royal Navy to engage in an unrestricted bombardment campaign of the eastern Hadiist coast. Cities and villages were targets of frequent naval artillery strikes; the battleships shelled military and civilian targets indiscriminately. The Navy infamously used incendiary shells during these attacks, causing entire neighborhoods to be engulfed in firestorms.

Post-war, Dynhaas went on several speaking tours in the first year of the armistice. Traveling from city to city, his public events were used to promote his upcoming biography and drew crowds in the tens of thousands. Politically, he maintains that the future of the NKA always lies within the navy, and that the industry of the New Kingdom must always retain a heavy focus on their shipyards. Dynhaas has also been vocal in his beliefs of a stronger monarch, often using the emergency powers King Azunja had as an example of the strong benefits that could come with such. He is yet to comment at all on his supposed rival, Mira'zkui, at all.

Mahtra is an infamous glory hound; his boisterous and prideful personality is often the source of much interpersonal conflict. Dynhaas can not go long without telling war stories or exalting his actions during the previous conflict. Among the Royalists circles, the Grand Admiral is either loved or hated. Mahtra is never seen out of his fancy dress uniform adorned by a large roll of medals.

===Grand Duke Akym Yudenikh===

Born in the Das'nrra Empire to a noble family in 2412, Akym Yudenikh survived the First Revolution by escaping to Northern Harr'masir and hiding his identity. After the Hadiist occupation of the Kingdom of Kaltir, Yudenikh joined the People's Republic bureaucracy; he became responsible for the administration of the local rail system. Akym was infamous for his corruption; he frequently sold permits, disregarded contraband reports, and accepted bribes.

Because of his background, Akym was contacted by the underground royalist movement. He quickly became one of the main supporters of the group; he used his position within the Hadiist government to secure supplies and funding for the incoming uprising. Weapons, machinery, and ammunition were diverted to the Royalist cells. Akym was awarded the title of baron, a seat in the parliament, and some land confiscated from the People's Republic when Vahzirthaamro returned. However, his ambitions did not stop there. Using the money made from his time as a Republican bureaucracy, alongside whatever profit he could extract from his new holdings, Yudenikh continued to acquire more estate. Newly liberated farms were sold to him at a meager price thanks to his connections within the government. In a question of years, he became a Grand Duke and one of the major landowners of the New Kingdom. Akym controversially used prisoners of war as workers in his plantations during the Second Revolution as part of deals with the military.

Following the Armistice, Akym Yudenikh now leads the Royalist Party; his main mission is to maintain the status quo. The continuation of the constitutional monarchy and the privileges of the nobility align perfectly with his interests. He is one of the major supporters of further deals with megacorporations. Grand Duke Akym is not afraid to use his position to protect his interest in the parliament. Under his vision, prosperity for the New Kingdom means more power and wealth to its elite.

While Akym might appear friendly and easygoing at the first sight, this facade hides treacherous tendencies. The Grand Duke only keeps a secret if it benefits him directly; anything else is fair game in the social game of the New Kingdom's nobility. Thanks to this behavior, Yudenikh has his clique of noble friends who frequently support each other in political and personal affairs. As a lover of the finer things in life, the Grand Duke likes to hold feasts, bet on Zhsram races, and collect bottles of Nm'shaan Liquor.

===Prince Serhiy Oliinyk===

Born as the third son to a family of Njarir'Akhran in 2434, Serhiy Oliinyk's life was profoundly affected by events over which he had no control. Raised in a household of avid royalists supporters, Serhiy was exposed to his parents' ideology since his youth. However, the boy had his reservations in regards to the possible return of the monarchy; he doubted that they could truly avoid the mistakes of the past. For his support during the uprising in Northern Harr'masir, the patriarchy of the Oliinyk family was given a seat in the parliament, a title of nobility, and a modest tract of land. Serhiy mistakenly believed that he could escape his bloodline's obligation thanks to his status as the third child. He already had a passion in his life: playing the P'rrama.

The war was cruel to the Oliinyk. Serhiy's brothers were killed while serving the army. This put him in an uneasy position as the heir of a parliamentary seat. The growing debt forced his father to sell whatever land they had left; the Oliinyk had officially joined the ranks of landless nobility. The final blow came in 2459 with the bombing of the Parliament; Serhiy inherited his progenitor's seat after his demise in the attack. The young musician was thrown into the midst of the New Kingdom's politics. Influenced by his social status and beliefs, he aligned himself to the Commoners Party.

If he is truly unable to escape his fate, Prince Serhiy decided to make the best out of it. Because of his age and a family full of martyrs, Serhiy became the Commoners Party's main spokesperson. Convincing the Queen to support the Populists will not be easy; the Conservatives and Absolutists are far more powerful and influential. A powerful strategy is necessary to guarantee the Commoners Party triumph in the parliament. Serhiy plans to retire from politics after the hereditary parliamentary positions are abolished and the Kingdom is fairer to its population. He hopes to return to his greatest passion: music.

Prince Oliinyk is a reserved person who prefers the company of his few trusted friends to the parties and neverending social schemes of the New Kingdom. Serhiy tries his hardest to separate his role in the parliament from his private life; he relies mostly on political alliances instead of his friendships to gather support. Besides his passion for music, Oliinyk enjoys frequenting Kaltir's theaters.

===Count Tscherim Sanguszkho===

Hailing from a cadet house of the Rrhakaslov dynasty, Tscherim Sanguszkho was born in 2433 shortly after his family escaped to Kaltir to avoid the First Revolution's massacres. He was raised on a small farm frequented by disposed nobles and royalist sympathizers. Sheltered from the rest of Adhomai, he grew only knowing the world only through the nostalgic tales of pre-contact Njarir'Akhran, The Sanguszkho family was quick to offer their support to King Azunja when he returned; the Tscherim's father was given a seat in the parliament. Tscherim became a low-ranking officer in the army.

Tscherim Sanguszkho's military career came to an end in 2460 when he was gravely wounded in combat. Taking advantage of his pension and family's position, Tscherim spent the next years in gentlemen's clubs. In these places, he entered into contact with radical Absolute Royalists and became deeply interested in [[Tajaran Minor Religions#Ancient Tajara Theory|esoteric beliefs]]. Tscherim founded his organization in 2462: the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity. Drawing inspiration from the stories of an idealized pre-First Contact society, the ideology known as Revival Royalism was born from the Fraternity's meetings. Posing as a regular club, Tscherim was able to introduce other nobles to his ideals. Knowing that the task of enforcing the old order was not an easy one, Sanguszkho chose a common enemy to unite the kingdom against: the Tajara of mixed heritage.

Tscherim's plan came to fruition when his father died in a car accident in 2463; he inherited a landed title, a state, and a seat in the Parliament. Shortly after, the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity opened its membership to the public and made its intentions clear. Thanks to a deal with the Officers and Royal parties, the Fraternity became the fourth faction in the Parliament. Despite being the leader of the smallest Party, Count Tscherim has already begun to plot to slowly introduce his ideology into the New Kingdom.

Tscherim is commonly described as eccentric, volatile, and intelligent. The Count is prone to descend into long, grandstanding rants - for every subject, he has a strong opinion that is bound to divide the room he is in. Sanguszkho's demagogic tendencies have earned him a fair share of allies and enemies. Aside from his interest in esoteric ideas, Tscherim is a heavy drinker who frequently visits all kinds of pubs.

===Ser Mrakhanjurl Ii'rka===

Mrakhanjurl was born in 2422 in a Zhan-Khazan family in a small village outside Olska. He received little education nor traveled far outside his village. As soon as he came of age at 16 he joined the rest of the village mining bauxite ore to be shipped to Olska to make aluminum. He eventually lost both parents to lung cancer from the mine's poor ventilation before he was 23. In 2452, when he was 29, he traveled with a dozen other Zhan-Khazan miners several miles to Olska to join a protest against the new legislation of President Hadii that was meant to crack down 'subversive elements' that many felt were unfair to Zhan-Khazan. The army was called in and brutally repressed the demonstration, which saw Mrakhanjurl narrowly escape with his life. He returned to his village to find that it had been torched by the republican army for housing subversive agitators.

Mrakhanjurl mourned the loss of his village and was picked up by rebel militia, who revealed that they had managed to provide early warning to the village and evacuate over a dozen people, but the army had managed to find and kill all but a handful of survivors. In gratitude for the rebels dying for his village, and to avenge the deaths, Mrakhanjurl joined the armed resistance that eventually joined itself under the New Kingdom of Adhomai. In a very short few years became a remarkable marksman, gaining the most recorded kills of any Tajara sniper. Current New Kingdom estimates put Mrakhanjurl's kill count at 285, 32 of those enemy PRA snipers.

Mrakhanjurl also managed to evacuate countless civilians from Republic territory to northern New Kingdom holdings. During the famous ''Rout of the 2nd Battalion'', in which New Kingdom defenders unsuccessfully attempted to prevent Republican forces from capturing Baltor, Mrakhanjurl assumed command of the 4th Company after both its leading officers had been killed by sniper fire. Despite a serious gunshot wound to the leg Mrakhanjurl began shouting orders and rallied the shattered defenders, who were the last line of defense between the advancing Republic forces and thousands of refugees attempting to flee the city. The ''Rally of the 4th Company'' on 2456 successfully managed to delay advancing Republic troops long enough for thousands of more refugees to escape into New Kingdom territory who would otherwise face atrocity.

For his bravery and growing fame (which was now considered too important to risk in the war effort), Mrakhanjurl was given the Order of the Victorious Sun, the highest honor in the New Kingdom, as well as being the first Zhan-Khazan in history to be given the noble rank of Ser. He remains a hero to the Zhan-Khazan and the New Kingdom.

===King of the Mountains Rustam Harmaliik===
[[File:harmaliik portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the king in his riding regalia, done in 2454.]]
Rustam Harmaliik was born in 2427 as the son of a deposed Njarir'Akhran noble family. He spent most of his youth in the rural region of Harr'masir, where he had contact with some groups of Rhazar'Hrujmagh that inhabited the region. As an adult, he found employment in law enforcement and was sent by the People’s Republic to support the efforts to settle the rock nomads of the Harr’masir region in 2448 as a Republican official.

While working alongside the authorities to make sure that the nomadic Zhan would accept and adopt a sedentary lifestyle, Rustam grew more interested in their culture and became skeptical of the Hadii’s regime and how they were treating the Rock Nomads. Unrest among the Rhazar'Hrujmagh soon followed, and Rustam would try to offer his support in any way possible, such as sabotaging equipment shipment or relaying misleading intelligence. The government soon realized his treason, forcing Rustam to abandon his post and escape into the wilderness.

Rustam found shelter among a caravan of the Rhazar'Hrujmagh, and soon adopted their way of life. Unrest and resistance continued among the rock nomads, and Harmaliik joined their struggle against the People’s Republic. With the New Kingdom’s rebellion, the control of the region waned and the Republican efforts shifted to other problems, which allowed the nomad resistance to blossom into guerrilla warfare. Rustam climbed the ranks of his caravan’s forces, winning prestige and favor by leading them against the Republican forces.

The second revolution happened, and the Rhazar'Hrujmagh resistance continued. Rustam assumed the leadership of his adopted caravan and aimed to acquire more support among the other Rock Nomads. Through the years of the conflict, he gathered more men and wagons under his command, through diplomacy or conquest, but limiting himself to defensive tactics, ambushes, and raids. The political stance of Harmaliik has always been one of neutrality in the conflict, never compromising fully with the Adhomai Liberation army, due to his Njarir’Akhran origins and monarchist sentiments, and never declaring any support to the New Kingdom, in fear of losing the trust of his fellow nomads,

Due to a republican offensive against the nomadic guerrillas in 2461, Rustam decided to declare himself the Almalik’Rhazar, a word roughly translated as "leader of the mountains", following an ancient nomadic tradition that allows the largely independent Rock Nomad caravans to elect a ruler among themselves. This decision alienated him from his ALA allies and the other nomads, forcing him to side with the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Harmaliik and his caravans have joined the kingdom war effort. He and his people were later granted the southeast territories of the New Kingdom for their support during the conflict.

===Brother Mikhail Ordau===
Little is known about Mikhail Oradu’s parentage. He was given to the Parivara at a very young age, left on the doorstep of Miran'mir's abbey. Thus the Family took him in as they do many small children, teaching him and educating him about S’rendarr and Messa. Mikhail was an accomplished writer for his age, but a speech impediment left him at a disadvantage when it came to oral presentations. The boy was known to be bookish, and spent much of his free time in the abbey’s library as well as its restricted section, thanks to his close friendship with the abbot.

He had an unusual interest in the sciences for a clergyman. As the Second Revolution loomed ahead, and whispers of splitting from the Republic crept into the local city, he busied himself with reading and tending to the monastery’s garden. Eventually, Miran’mir and all of northern Harr’masir split from the Republic to form the New Kingdom. With the war came plenty of hardship, and the Priests of S’rendarr did their best to help alleviate the tragedy amongst the peasants.

With little farmable land and a severe manpower disadvantage, the New Kingdom struggled to provide for its people. Starvation was a very real threat, and the abbey’s garden was not sufficient. A conflicted Mikhail turned once again to the abbey’s library and science for an answer; and, as though a miracle from the Suns themselves, one came. He discovered an ancient text detailing breeding methods for slaves, from long before the First Revolution. Suggestions on how to pass on desirable traits and mannerisms; to breed subservience. Controversial, but an unknowing descriptor of genetics and hereditary traits.

It was armed with this knowledge that Mikhail set about breeding new plants. Earthen roots, dirt berries, and more were cultivated for generations by Mikhail, aiming to pass on traits like hardiness and vitality. The plants became much more accustomed to growing in harsh conditions thanks to his work, and as the New Kingdom pushed back the Republicans and gained more territory, these hardier plants were easier to grow in the shell-shocked muddy battlefields. The threat of starvation became less and less pressing as more and more farms could deal with the way the war affected the terrain. For his efforts, Brother Mikhail was afforded a personal audience with the King.

===Oleg Al'Mor===
Born Oleg Murkov Al-Al’Mori in 2400, Oleg was a teenager when humanity stumbled upon the Tajara. His simple life of working and indentured servitude was suddenly upended with the influx of new ideals; he and his family, along with a contingent of other refugees of war avoided the conflicts erupting across the planet by staying in the mountains of Northern Harr’masir. To pass the time and keep themselves entertained, the telling of fireside epics became common. Oleg was noted to be imaginative with his tales even then, regaling other Tajara with stories of war and love.

Eventually, however, the nomadic hunter-gatherer life in the mountains could no longer support their numbers, and Oleg’s group descended from their hiding place. By this point, rebel armies had mostly taken hold of Kal’tir and the surrounding areas, giving Oleg relative freedom. When the war finally came to an end in 2432, Oleg was well known as a traveling bard and performer who earned his living using his creative skills entertaining war-weary soldiers and newly freed slaves. The stability that came with the formation of the People’s Republic afforded Oleg the opportunity to settle down in Kal’tir once again, where he took an interest in the local theater scene.

His first play, The Jester’s End, pioneered the form of black comedy and was a throwback to the days of servitude. Over the course of his career in Kal’tir, Oleg penned many more plays under his pseudonym Oleg Al’Mor, out of fear of inviting reprisals from the People’s Republic. Oleg’s plays were often scandalous or controversial for challenging the traditional morality held by Tajara. However, as time went on, his works became formulaic and much less shocking, and thus by extension more palatable to the average Tajara. Black comedy found a good home amongst the countless war veterans of the First Revolution.

Oleg considered himself an intellectual, and when the New Kingdom of Adhomai split from the People’s Republic he was an outspoken supporter. He and his family had experienced the benefits of the old ways, and with his considerable wealth from play royalties, he financed the New Kingdom with donations. Sadly, Oleg Al’Mor passed away in December of 2460 after completing his final work. The play, titled A Maiden’s Voyage, was particularly well-received, with even the King himself getting a private showing. Many of his works are still performed in theaters all over the New Kingdom’s territory.

==Others==

===Father Valyan K'rrirran===

''"From the stars, he saw Adhomai's cities and mountains become nothing more than specks. When he beheld the planet from far away, he realized that it was a small dot within this vast new galaxy. It was then he saw how truly special our homeland and our people are."''

''-Father Valyan K'rrirran, written as the ending to the prologue in his novel "An Introduction to The Twin Suns", 2430.''

Born in 2406 to a family of merchants in Dras’nrra, Valyan chose to join the faith at a young age, and became a fully-fledged Priest of S'rendarr in the midst of the First Revolution. It was during this time that Valyan had also become one of the first few Tajara to leave Adhomai. Settling on Xanu Prime in 2426 and remaining there until the war’s end in 2431, Valyan provided much of the first glimpses into the theology of the Tajara during this time. He, later on, returned home after publishing his novel written in Tau Ceti Basic on the history of the S’rendarr and Messa. Following the Second Revolution, he had replaced Walid Al’qat as The Father of the Parivara after Al’qat died of heart failure. Since gaining his position in 2462 the new Father has already demonstrated to Adhomai that he is able to rise to the task of leading the Parivara. Alongside his archivers, he had revealed misinterpretations in the vows of the Suns Sisters and amended the Vow of Silence to the original Vow of Whispers.

The Father has kept this momentum of progress going forward. In the same year, he began to assist with several archeological digs across Adhomai to gather more information on not just the history of the Suns faith, but also of the Tajara people. Much of this collection is digitalized and shared through a newly developed site (Simply dubbed “Parivara and Tajara History.pra”.) made by an influx of well-educated acolytes. Now, any curious Tajara or alien can find a trove of information on the Parivara and new details on the species’ history. This mix of preserving old traditions alongside progressing aspects of the church has made Valyan popular among the younger generations of Tajara, kindling their interest in the faith.

However, Valyan is not free of controversy. Some conspiracy theorists believe that he could have had a hand in the death of the previous Father, citing the lack of provided medical care and the quick selection of Valyan as the new Father. Others point to his connection to the revitalized Kin of S’rendarr and believe him to be funding the Kin, supplying them with off-world equipment and arms to continue their war against whoever is deemed the faith’s enemy. Nonetheless, these are regarded as little more than baseless rumors by much of the population.

===Crown Voices===
Crown Voices are an all-female Tajara singing group hailing from the NKA, they specialize in vocal jazz and classical performances. Due to this, they have performed alongside a variety of bands providing musical accompaniment with the longest-lasting being a Zhan group called "The Underclass Brass". While relatively unknown, the three members were lifted from the edge of poverty by Prince Serhiy Oliinyk, who saw potential in them. Their biggest performance was at the Kaltir Royal Theater, where they performed an album titled "Northern Frost", written by an anonymous writer.

The song was panned by royalist critics, accusing him of attempting to push "misguided Nateedist ideas calling them unity." Yasmin Piaf surprisingly also spoke out against the group, accusing them of being an obvious and cheap copy.

Still, the group reaped applause and general positivity from lower nobles and peasantry, establishing them as a popular band among the lower social strata.

====Masha Il-Azura====
Masha is a Hharar, born during the later inter-war era she was only a child when the war began. She, however, lived a relatively well-off life as her father was a lawyer, allowing her to get proper musical education and graduate with honors. She and her family funded the band's early endeavors and with her help, they were noticed by prince Oliinyk. She is very quiet off-stage and prefers to avoid any interviews or conferences, many question why she even decided to become a celebrity. She does, however, seem very at ease with the other band members and when performing.

====Ilvya Kolovova====
Ilvya is a Zhan-khazan, born during the middle of the inter-war period making her the oldest member of the band. She is also the shortest of the three, despite being a Zhan-khazan, making her quite an oddity. She makes up for this with her forward and aggressive personality, as she was raised alongside 6 brothers on the streets of Kaltir. She is also the only member of the group with performing experience, as she provided musical accompaniment in multiple late-night bars. Due to her small size, she has the highest-pitched voice of the trio.

====I’sha S’rremich====
I'sha is an oddity even in the band, born during the late inter-war period she is only slightly older than Il-Azura. Born to a dockworker, she spent most of her youth doing hard labor, the sea shanties she'd sing with her father are what eventually got her a well-off spot in a local bar. In this bar she would meet with Kolovova and eventually Il-Azura. She is cool, levelheaded, and slow to agitate, serving as the spokesperson and centerpiece of the trio. Her critics also describe her as ugly and boyish, as she refuses to wear a dress, on or off-stage, due to her rough upbringing.

===Rikdar Al'Manq===

Rikdar was born on '''2429''' the noble Njarir’Akhran Bayan line in Nal'Tor, with Bayan being his birth name. However, his parents were disappeared by Republic secret police in one of the frequent purges of Njarir’Akhran and he was put into state-run foster care. He has raised in the ''House Of Young Patriots'' orphanage until he was adopted at 14 to Hharar parents and took their last name of Al'Manq. As he was going to school his parents and teachers immediately took notice of his artistic abilities and interest in painting, which the orphanage had initially tried to discourage. In 2446, when he was 18, Rikdar won an art contest where he submitted a portrait of his Environmental Geology teacher and gained a prestigious scholarship in the Nal'Tor University of The Arts, a state-funded institution.

Rikdar attended the university for several years, though his studies were sometimes interrupted or delayed by the periodic waves of anti-Njarir’Akhran demonstrations and violence that gripped the campus. However, he quickly became a prodigy amongst his peers. Al'Manq's style of oil painting and doing portraits became a sensation in the capital, with the mayor and several city officials requesting their portraits done. Rikdar graduated from university at 20 years old in '''2450''' with a Bachelor of Arts. Having already received several high-profile commissions, including the then-President Al'Mari Hadii, whose portrait was done a week before his death. Al'Manq managed to survive the resulting chaos across Adhomai following the assassination of Al'Mari Hadii by the nature of his celebrity status, but his popularity remains confined within the major cities.

At only 29 years old in '''2458''' the ''Al'Manq Style'' has already become a famous style of painting across Adhomai. The Al'Manq Style is noted for its use of rich oil-based paint that focuses on portraits and profiles. The colors are often bold or show rich texture and color. The hands of Tajara are painted without being anatomically correct. Critics blast Al'Manq's apparent inability to draw hands correctly but Rikdar has stated that it's his personal style. This has influenced other artists, and many attempting to pay homage to Al'Manq draw hands as stubby. Rikdar remains extremely popular on Adhomai. The People's Republic remains a quiet supporter of his work, and state officials pay him handsome commissions for their portraits to be done, though they frown on him taking commissions from New Kingdom officials as well. The Adhomai Liberation Army has painted Rikdar as just another nobleman and several members of the Liberation Army have given open contempt for his work.

===Bloodstorm===

Bloodstorm is a famous and infamous DPRA Heavy Metal Band that has surged in popularity with the younger “denier” generation. Those in this generation are categorized not only by refusing the current status quo, but also have a general disdain towards a complete return to Tajara roots or liberalization through corporations. Fans of this band are usually punks, anarchists,s and jaywalkers. While the band mostly operated inside the DPRA, during one of their galactic tours their citizenships were revoked, making it impossible for them to return to Adhomai. They currently preside in Mendell City.

====Vargir Stenovich “Godslayer”====

The lead guitarist of the group, Vargir Stenovich is known as the spokesperson of the band and the most controversial figures. Admitting to being a Raskara cultist in public and calling out the Parivara on their “bedding with the government”. Vargir has been involved in numerous scandals including protesting military parades, playing one of his songs next to a work camp without permission, and lastly ingesting drugs on live television and proceeding to slander the ALA for bombing the NKA parliament.
[[File:Bloodstorm.png|200px|thumb|right|Photo of Al-Atil at the Mztel'Mir concert, "War Is Fuck, Let's Do It", circa 2459.]]

====Janos Al-Lung “Drowner”====

Janos is the bassist of Bloodstorm and the only band member without a criminal record. He has frequently butted heads with Stenovich over the political extremities the band goes through to discredit not only PRA and NKA but also DPRA. Janos Al-Lung is currently the only member of Bloodstorm that is trying to re-apply for a DPRA citizenship.

====Al-Atil Csihar “Nightmaster”====

The vocalist, Al-Atil, is known for his “mrowl”, a high, long, yelp that is recorded as the loudest sound produced by a Tajara. He loves to interact with the public and often stays behind on the podium to sign autographs and fans using black or red spray paint.

====Cecil Kernov “Bloodletter”====

Cecil is the Drummer and has actually served time, unlike the other band members. Kernov has his nickname for a reason as he’s been charged with armed assault during his youth, which is how he met with Vargir. Later in life, he was arrested again, after he had brutally assaulted a fan who had climbed on stage with a drum, getting it stuck on said Tajara’s head and pushing him off the stage with a dropkick. This led to multiple fractures and long-term disabilities for the fan.

====The Mist “Mih”====

A yet unknown band member by the public, “Mih” remains anonymous always wearing a mask in public and never speaking. He plays the P'rrama, an old Tajara string instrument, with 8 strings mirrored in a long horn-like pipe that extends to the ground which emits a loud, brass twanging noise described as an over-amped guitar. "Mih" has been under investigation multiple times, however, the enigmatic member always manages to avoid the authorities.

'''Most Notable Albums Include:'''

''The Freezing Blizzard'' - An early, human metal-inspired album. "The Mih" was not a member at this time and the music avoids political messaging, mostly focused on heavy guitar riffs.

''War Is Fuck, Let's Do It'' - The "central" album of the band that rocketed them to popularity. Its anti-war messages resonated with a lot of the younger audiences who were tired of the usual acoustic and traditional sorrowful performances, preferring this new aggressive style.

''If Messa Was Here She'd Be a Whore'' - A distinctly anti-Parivara album, attacking their behavior towards women and female priests. The Mih joins the band around this time, employing the now-iconic P'rrama. While initially released to negative reviews, it slowly became a fan favorite.

''We Live in a Society'' - A very hateful album, attacking every faction on Adhomai, including the human Sol and Nanotrasen and their presence there.

''Shell In, Spine Out'' - Another anti-war album, the band's first attempt to create a narrative album describing the life of a dying soldier. Received both negatively and positively by the fans.

''S'rrendar Loves You Except He Doesn't'' - The critique of Parivara escalates in this album, would remain unnotable if it wasn't for the recording of Cecil attacking a fan with the drum.

''If You're Old You Should Die'' - A call to arms, actively encouraging the younger generations to overthrow the current system and drag all the politicians down. For many, this was a return to form, but also most likely the album that led to Bloodstorm's exile from the DPRA.

{{toc_right}}

= Ground Forces on Adhomai =
Ever since the second revolution began, as well as historically, most of the fighting and military might on Adhomai has been land-based due to most of the planet's water being frozen over or littered with icebergs. Each of the factions relies heavily on infantry for their ability to traverse the rugged terrain of the planet's surface. Beasts of burden and pull carts still see widespread use across the planet in logistical roles to haul the masses of supplies required to keep the various armies operational since reliable automobiles are highly expensive and common ones require frequent maintenance. Most of the soldiers use weapons that would be considered highly outdated by their counterparts of other species because of their simplicity, reliability, and ease of maintenance. This also makes Tajaran surplus manufactured weapons popular for export to a wide variety of frontier nations for private ownership and cost-effective reliability in military service.

== Republican Army (People's Republic of Adhomai) ==
Also known as the "Grand People's Army."
[[File:OwO_whats_this.png|350px|thumb|left|The hierarchy of the Republican Army and the organization of their ground forces.]]
=== Commander in Chief ===
The Commander in Chief of the Republican Army is an office held by the President of the People's Republic of Adhomai (Currently [[ Notable Tajara | President Njadrasanukii Hadii]]). The Commander in Chief is responsible for the grand strategy of the military. He appoints all ministers in the Ministry of Defense to carry out his policies.

=== Ministry of Defense ===

The Ministry of Defense houses the Ministers in charge of each branch of military service as well as their adjutants. They define the military districts under order from the Commander in Chief, as well as appoint staff to manage them. It is the duty of the ministers to translate the policies of the Commander in Chief into functional war plans and operational strategies.

=== Military Districts ===
Military Districts are administrative districts based on geography. Each military district is named after each continent on Adhomai, a relic of the interwar period when the People's Republic owned the entire planet uncontested. Appointees to the districts administrate the recruitment, supply, and organization of all troops within their theater of war, as well as designate the fronts of conflicts. Each military district also houses a theater commander who manages all of the fronts under them.

=== Fronts ===
Fronts are areas of operations designated by military districts where field armies are deployed. They exist along large geographical sections of each continent and are each lead by a frontal commander. The system of combining a shifting geographical area with a command leads to a high degree of inflexibility in the Republican high command, which struggles to redraw the changing jurisdictions frequently. More often than not, the frontal commanders find themselves "in command" of areas behind enemy lines following opposition offensives. This leads to situations such as sending messengers with various notices and garrison units to villages they do not own, only to have them inevitably intercepted and engaged by opposing front-line units. Many army group commanders have begun to falsely report carrying out certain orders in order to prevent needless damage to their units.

=== Field Armies ===
[[File:Ha'rronMKIV.png|300px|thumb|right|A scout posing next to a Ha'rron MK.IV light tank in a Republican motor pool.]]
There are currently 133 field armies (or armies for short) in the Republican Army. Most field armies are combined arms armies, which utilize artillery, tank, and mechanized vehicle divisions to provide support to infantry divisions. However, there are a handful of concentrated tank armies that are used for spearheading massive offensives. Unlike other contemporary armies in 2458, the Republican Army lacks the ability to have corps-level formations. The mass defection in the Adhomai Liberation Army's attempted coup d'etat of the Republic leads to a gutting of the Army's officers. Instead, clusters of divisional formations are grouped together into armies and sent to battle in these inflexible clumps. These circumstances have led many to view the Republican Army as an inexorable horde that fights all its battles by numbers and attrition, however, officials of the People's Republic are quick to write this off as humans projecting their history onto Tajaran politics. They insist that the People's Republic is filled with capable officers and professional soldiers.

=== Divisions and Brigades ===
Each field army in the Republican Army is comprised of three divisions, which in turn are each comprised of three brigades. A plurality of divisions is motostrelki, motor rifles, which are motorized infantry units modeled and named after human analogs. This reliance on motor vehicles to transport troops around the battlefield leaves the Republican Army at a stark disadvantage in mountainous and polar regions, where their vehicles break down or are impeded. As a result, many divisions rely heavily on the actions of the Republic's special forces to screen for ambushes and sabotage defenses. The Republic is also renowned for its heavy artillery divisions, which begin every operation by softening targets with massive barrages. While these barrages were highly effective in the early days of the civil war, most opposition positions are now arranged in spread-out formations with moderate entrenchment to minimize the effects of the artillery. Now, they primarily serve to alert their enemies of an impending attack.

=== The S'rand'marr Coalition ===

Formed by the People’s Republic of Adhomai in 2461, the S'rand'marr Coalition was a diverse multi-army group used to defend the heartland of the Republic and to assist in aid operations within PRA territory. Using NanoTrasen loans and diplomatic prowess, the Party was able to gather troops from Xanu Prime and the Republic of Biesel, peacekeepers from the Jargon Federation, and invest in Ringspire and Kataphract mercenaries. Several freelancer groups were also involved through their contributions were minimal to the war effort. While glamorized in the media back home and in the PRA, these soldiers became a favorite target for ALA cells. Sharpshooters, bombers, gunmen, all of these radicals were eager to kill those who they saw as alien invaders. Morale plummeted among coalition troops as casualties stacked and attempts failed to push the fronts of Ras'nrr. After just two months of fighting, the coalition began to break down as they demanded better pay from the Republic or as governments frustrated by the slow grind of the war threatened to withdraw their soldiers. Only the Jargon Federation remained fully dedicated to their aid missions by this time. After NanoTrasen’s announcement that the situation on Adhomai had grown unprofitable, President Hadii agreed to begin the peace talks that led to the armistice. While the Coalition failed to defeat mount a counter-offensive against the Liberation Army, they were successful in defending the People's Republic core territories. The coalition’s remaining members departed Adhomai shortly after peace came, with some taking the chance to at least party in Crevus before withdrawing.

=== Zbrojny ===

Seeking to replicate the success of the Liberation Army guerrillas, the Zbrojny is a partisan force created after the Armistice. The Zbrojny is made up of loyal Hadiist volunteers from the civilian population. Trained by the People's Strategic Intelligence Service in guerilla tactics, they are meant to act behind enemy lines in occupied territory. Unlike all branches of the Grand People's Army, the Partisans are under the direct control of the secret service. Due to the lack of any ongoing conflict on Adhomai, their real effectiveness is unknown; however, some suspect that the Zbrojny is nothing but a ploy by the PSIS to create their own army.

== Adhomai Liberation Army ==

=== Supreme Commander ===
The Adhomai Liberation Army, from the decentralized confederacy of juntas, to the loose collection of regular army units, to the widespread guerrilla units and deep-cover infiltration, all look up to [[Notable Tajara|Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan]] for direction and leadership. Although the Liberation Army has an underlying anti-foreign influence ideology, it still very much remains a cult of personality focused on fulfilling Nated's claim to the rule of the planet. Many pundits have been quick to point out his legendary status among his supporters, and the fervent fanatical dedication many of his soldiers demonstrate. He is the rock which the military structure relies upon for direction, but he primarily reserves his command to his formal army units, intervening only when he feels it is necessary to the many-headed hydra of the Liberation Army's command structure.

=== Juntas ===
Juntas is a human term applied to the many military-owned city-states across Adhomai which are under the overarching Adhomai Liberation Army. Each time a city is conquered, the commanding officer of the forces at the time of the conquest takes ownership of the city and settles it as a military governor. Many of them also assign their staff officers to administrative roles to form a cabinet and take on the title of Rrhaza-Akhran, war-ruler. All of them swear allegiance to Supreme Commander Nated'Hakhan, and perform work similar to Republican military districts to supply, organize, and conscript troops to send to the frontlines. Occasionally, Rrhaza-Akhran skirmish with each other over territory along the borders of their city-states. Observers and propaganda organs of the People's Republic and the New Kingdom speculate that the Liberation Army will degenerate to bickering warlords should anything happen to Supreme Commander Nated. Many war-rulers appoint their most loyal generals to lead the Mrrazhakulii besieging cities, with the understanding that they become the war-rulers of the newly captured cities.

=== Mrrazhakulii (Liberators) ===
A Mrrazhakul (Liberator) is the formation of many Kazarrhaldiya Tajara under a general who leads on behalf of a Rrhaza-Akhran. Their name derives from the idea that they are the patron liberator of a city from the tyranny of its old government and serves as a claim to become the ruler of the coming Junta which governs it. Due to the highly decentralized nature of Adhomai Liberation Army command, a benefit they enjoy due to the highly capable officer corps which defected in the early days of the war, these formations are typically very loose and serve primarily as a line of communication between the battlefield commanders to coordinate through. The general in command of these formations often simply command a handful of Kazarrhaldiye Tajara, leaving their subordinates with the flexibility which the Adhomai Liberation Army is famous for.

=== Kazarrhaldiye Tajara (Swords of the Tajara) ===
The Kazarrhaldiye Tajara (Swords of the Tajara or Swords for short) are largely autonomous collections of soldiers under a single leader. Many of them are infantry units supported by artillery, similar to the Republican Army, but there is also a wide variety of mechanized, armored, and even niche aviation units that are primarily used in the equatorial regions. The loose command structure on the formation level often leads to friendly fire incidents between sword units, as well as a lack of coordination in offenses or defenses. Each commander must maintain a high level of situation awareness, or else they may fail to contribute properly to a battle. Before conscripted or recruited soldiers can serve in the swords, they first are placed in a rigorous four-month training regimen where they learn from experienced veterans and are hardened under live-fire exercises. As a result, reinforcements from the Liberation Army's basic training camps perform better on average than Republican conscripts or Imperial levies.

=== Cells and Guerrilla Units ===
Although the formal army units of the Adhomai Liberation Army are some of the best-trained units on Adhomai, they make up a minority of their military forces compared to the "terror cells" and guerrilla units which were once spread out across the planet's surface. Though they are far rarer in New Kingdom lands, many villages across the People's Republic joined Supreme Commander Nated's rebellion by uprising on their own. These rebel groups were largely able to settle themselves in the mountains surrounding the periphery of the flatter lands of Republican territory, occasionally descending to raid caravans and villages in much the same way the rebels of the first revolution did. Their sabotage behind enemy lines undermines opposition infrastructure, defenses, communication, and logistics. All public officials in lower offices of the People's Republic and the New Kingdom travel with contingents of bodyguards in response to a massive wave of assassinations from rebel attacks. The reasons for Tajara becoming rebels are numerous, but all of them are infused with heavy indoctrination to breed fanatical loyalty to the legendary Supreme Commander, despite the majority of these units never coming into contact with Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan or Liberation Army command. This recruiting process extends also to children, whom these rebel cells have no qualms about placing in combat or using to carry out acts of terror in enemy population centers. There is speculation however that these units are the diplomatic downfall of the Adhomai Liberation Army, as their dogmatic anti-xeno extremism and widespread recruitment among refugee populations in foreign nations draw the ire and contempt of greater powers.

== Imperial Adhomian Army (New Kingdom of Adhomai) ==
[[File:ImperialAdhomianArmy.png|350px|thumb|left|The command and unit structure of the Imperial Adhomian Army. Every formation and unit has a patron noble in command, analogous to a regimental system.]]
=== Field-Marshal ===
The current Field-Marshal of the New Kingdom of Adhomai is [[Notable Tajara|Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan]], who was appointed by [[Notable Tajara|King Azunja]] of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. The position is held by appointment from the King, who is also able to take the position for himself if he so chooses. The Field-Marshal has supreme authority over the Imperial Adhomian Army, managing all theaters of operation and giving orders to the Mrraka'te'almalik (Will of King) nobles and their retinues. Unlike the Adhomai Liberation Army or the Republican Army, the Imperial Army is highly centralized and relies heavily on the orders of the Field-Marshal to coordinate with other units.

=== Mrraka'te'almalik (The Will of the King) ===
The Imperial Army has three Mrraka'te'almalika (Wills of the King or Wills for short) lording over its forces. Each Will serves a role similar to a theater commander, controlling all the Jabrut Almumalik under their control. The positions are always formally held by grand dukes, however, they often appoint commanders to rule in their stead if they are unable to fill the role with all orders signed as "By the Will of the King."

=== Jabrut Almumalik (The Kingdom's Might) ===
The Jabrut Almumalikii (The Kingdom's Mights or Mights for short) are command positions of groups of Alyad'almalikii. The posts are held by princes, dukes, and sometimes notably powerful counts under the three grand dukes. These commanders serve to manage the formations of Alyad'almalikii, as well as to relay the orders of their Mrraka'te'almalik and to manage their supply lines. Their careful and meticulous planning is integral to maintaining the army's organization, and their sub-commanders rely on the orders passed down to them to continue operation. As with the previous higher positions, the more prominent nobles often appoint specialists to carry out their duties if they believe themselves incapable, however, lower nobles are often part of a service gentry and are therefore unable to delegate away their positions.

=== Alyad'almalik (Hand of the King) ===
Alyad'almalikii (Hands of the King or Hands for short) are all of the minor nobles and service gentry who command formations of Alam'ardii which are typically similar to field armies. Unlike most armies, these are primarily infantry-based units as the New Kingdom lacks the production capacity to have widespread motorized and mechanized units. A handful of Alyad'almalikii are armored units with outdated and prototypical interwar tanks which are usually held in reserve behind the front lines and used as cavalry to attack enemy flanks or respond to opposing armored assaults.

=== Alam'ard (Blood of the People) ===
[[File:For_the_King.png|200px|thumb|right|New Kingdom poster announcing the offensive of 2460.]]
The Alam'ardii (Bloods of the People, or Bloods for short) are large units of soldiers drafted, equipped, and paid by the crown. In the early days of the New Kingdom's secession, the Alam'ardii were professional soldiers only. Large groups of old M'sai who had served the nobles in the first revolution and their sons, tired of the extremist ideologies and longing for the old ways, flocked to the cause of King Azunja. As Njarir in hiding began resettling into the New Kingdom, many were assigned lands and given commands of these old Alam'ardii based on the capabilities they demonstrated, creating the foundation for the entire structure of the Imperial Army and landed nobility. As manpower issues began to strain the New Kingdom with the continuing war, King Azunja and parliament were forced to instate conscription, obligating every household to contribute an adult Tajara to the war effort. In a compromise to the poor strata and to address the issue of an insufficient officer corps, the government formalized and cemented the service gentry "so that all of the Kingdom is together in this struggle." The Bloods are almost all infantry, utilizing primarily defensive tactics with dug-in positions, fortifications, and trenches. The Imperial Army has also found utility in keeping cavalry Alam'ardii which can gallop through snow and either position dragoons or charge into enemy flanks. There are few artillery Alam'ardii, and all are positioned along defensive lines where incoming armored attacks are suspected. Most of the Imperial Army's artillery consists of outdated direct fire cannons which are re-appropriated for anti-armor uses.

= Naval Forces on Adhomai =
Although the military focus of the various factions is ground-based, there is still a heavy reliance on naval power for trade between regions, the transportation of military supplies, and the movement of troops between continents. Similar to human sailors, the various seamen are highly superstitious and obsessive about centuries-old naval traditions. While naval might is evidently not the determining factor in winning the on-going war, it remains an important aid to many military endeavors.
== Republican Navy (People's Republic of Adhomai) ==

=== Planetary ===
The Republican Navy is the penultimate aquatic naval force on Adhomai's surface, surpassed only by the Royal Navy. The Republican Navy primarily serves to transfer divisions of soldiers between the three continents, as well as protect civilian trade ships and conduct anti-piracy operations against the Adhomai Liberation Army's pirate flotillas. The aquatic arm of the Republican Navy also boasts a superb sub-nautical division with hunting packs of submarines prowling the waters in search of undefended ships. Although they have the benefit of being able to travel beneath the ice sheets, they are of no use in those regions unless they catch a surface ship traversing thin ice. Their only comparable naval opponent, the Royal Navy, frequently denies them the satisfaction of naval victory with their superior ASW capabilities, as well as submarine hunting packs of their own. A later addition to the Republican Navy was their own decoy vessels. Reusing designs from the Royal Navy, the small squadrons of these ships produced by the last years of the war were instrumental in ending ALA piracy.

Following the mass defection of Republican Navy officers and their vessels in '''2450''', a series of reforms were enacted by the surviving loyalist Hura'zhi Mira'zkui and President Hadii. The rank of Grand Admiral was given solely to President Hadii with Mira’zkui now serving as the Secretary of the Navy. Following that was the establishment of the naval commissars. Feared and despised by the crew, these commissars ensure utmost loyalty to the Party and to the commanding officers of the navy. Steep penalties such as forced labor and even death exist for those who display disloyal attitudes or actions. Given the stress on blind loyalty in the naval academies coupled with an influx of new and ill-trained naval officers, much of the lower command of the Republican Navy were often too afraid during the war to deviate from their orders. This inflexibility contributed to the Royal Navy outmaneuvering them in combat.

Besides their intense loyalty, Republican sailors are also known for being the least superstitious of the Tajaran navies. Most of those who do practice old traditions or Minharrzka worship normally keep it a hidden secret. Commissars believe that encouraging old traditions only leads to disloyal attitudes. Recruitment numbers for the navy have gradually been falling since '''2458'''. Most experts cite the low pay, harsh conditions, and lack of morale among the outgunned and paranoid crews as the reasons why.

=== Space ===
The People's Republic of Adhomai enjoys having the only militarized spaceships of all the factions on Adhomai. Initially, they relied on contracting outside protection from NanoTrasen and the Sol Alliance in order to defend their orbit from raiders. However, the Republican Navy has striven to become independent. With the help of contracted engineers, access to higher education abroad, and training from Sol Alliance naval advisers, the People's Republic has been able to commission and crew some of its own ships. The Republican Navy's space-arm primarily conducts counter-piracy operations in conjunction with fending off raiders. Their fleet in orbit is centered around the battleship PRS (People's Republic Ship) Hadii and other notable ships include the PRS Njarir and PRS Vostok. More information on the Orbital Navy can be found [https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Tajara_Space_Capability#PRA_Army_Wing here].

== Adhomai Liberation Army ==
The Adhomai Liberation Army is the weakest naval power among the three factions, consisting only of ramshackle pirate flotillas that assail unguarded coastal settlements and attack unprotected convoys. In the early days of the war, they were marginally more formidable, with a handful of destroyers and cruisers defecting in the initial waves. Since then, most of their ships have either fallen into disrepair, been destroyed, or defected to the Royal Navy. Their tactics are primarily effective against the Republican Navy on a tactical level, as many of their craft are too small for the Republic's sonar to detect and are able to approach and attack convoys. On the strategic level, they are of limited use and fail to bring any significant impact for the Liberation Army's war efforts.

The introduction of decoy vessels to the Republican Navy brought an end to many of these pirate flotillas. With their tactics countered and retaining the highest casualty rates of any army during the Second Revolution, the naval hordes of the ALA were non-existent by the war’s end. What few captains remained by '''2460''' eventually dissolved into the civilian population to hide away from possible reprisals, with their crew following suit. The only thing passing for a navy within the ALA now is a squad of broken destroyers and torpedo boats within Crevus’ docks. It remains unclear if the government will be able to build any sort of naval power in the future.

In spite of the high death rates, the flotillas never lacked recruits. Many of the destitute of Adhomai would sign onto crews and be packed into vessels by their captains, intending to use the high numbers to easily scuttle vessels. While most died, those who managed to survive raids on merchant ships came back to their hamlets and slums much richer, spread stories of how they gained their wealth, and allowed the cycle to begin again. Naval superstitions were rife among these sailors in the hopes to grant them the luck to survive engagements and avoid attacks from their better-equipped counterparts. Rumors persist that many captains threw captured enemy crews into the waters as sacrifices for Minharrzka, with some surely spread by the ALA to strike fear into the hearts of the enemy’s sailors.

== The Royal Navy (New Kingdom of Adhomai) ==
[[File:LorenzoMattottisFuochi.jpg|350px|thumb|left|An artist's rendition of a battleship of the Royal Navy.]]
The New Kingdom of Adhomai's Royal Navy is the strongest aquatic navy on the surface of Adhomai. In '''2450''' when the New Kingdom of Adhomai seceded from the People's Republic of Adhomai, many of the Republic's naval officers defected along with their ships and crew citing the gutting and suppression of venerable naval traditions by the Republican command as detrimental to their esprit de corps. In reality, however, sailors on Adhomai have a long history of loyalty to their old noble rulers, and most of the naval officers were pardoned loyalists from the first revolution out of the People's Republic's desperate need for naval personnel in the aftermath of the war. Despite the powerful navy and accompanying merchant marine, these traits often fail to bring the Kingdom military successes on land as they can only provide fire support in regions where water is not frozen over, or only slightly frozen over. The immense experience, training, and capability of their naval officers allow them to operate in waters that are impassable to the other navies due to their abilities to chart the thickness of the ice sheets and navigate around icebergs and obstacles. The Royal Navy consists primarily of surface ships, however, their expertise with decoy vessels to lure PRA submarines into ambushes makes up for this issue. Many PRA submarine squads often attacked supposed merchant vessels only to be surprised by magnetic mines and counter-squads of the NKA’s own submarines. Adhomai Liberation Army pirate flotillas avoid convoys under the protection of the Royal Navy, understanding that it can only spell their doom. Their domination of the waters enables them to deploy and supply expeditionary forces on continents outside of their primary lands.

Owing to its focus on upholding long-standing naval traditions, the Royal Navy is full of those who follow superstition, from the widespread to those specific to a single vessel. These greatly assist with crew morale and cohesion, allowing crewmen and marines to have a strong sense of comradery. Officers and seamen alike hold true to superstitions, and idols of Minharrzka can be found on nearly every ship of the Royal Navy. The navy’s recruits are mostly from coastal towns and city dwellers who are already experienced with working upon boats. Many of these men were drawn to the navy with a strong sense of dedication to the cause of the New Kingdom and the magnetic personality of Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas.

= Air Forces on Adhomai =
Due to the blizzards and freezing temperatures typical of Adhomai, the air force has a rather limited role in the Tajaran military. Aircraft are usually used for rapid deployment of troops and recon missions. However, during warm seasons and in the equatorial regions, planes can see action in aerial combat, bombings, and ground support assignments. Tajaran aircraft are designed in a manner similar to autogyros and gyrodynes, possessing wings and rotor blades. They are made from resistant alloys, similar to the ones used in the Orbital Fleet ship, that allow them to withstand harsh conditions. These planes are able to match the speed of modern crafts and shuttles on orbit, due to their jet engines. Tajaran aircraft are commonly armed with autocannons and laser weaponry.

== People's Air Force (People's Republic of Adhomai) ==

Of all of the factions, the Republican Army has the largest aviation units. The People’s Air Force is used mainly for the deployment of troops and reconnaissance. Large gyrodynes, accompanied by autogyro fighters, carry soldiers and Republican Guards during missions. However, air combat and ground support operations are not unheard of when the conditions are favorable. Alongside regular carrier ships, the People’s Republic makes use of submarine aircraft carriers. Cloaking planes are a technology currently in development; some prototypes were used for gathering intelligence during the last periods of the war. Currently, the People’s Air Force is taking part in the conflict at [[Hro'zamal]].

== Liberation Army Air Brigades (Adhomai Liberation Army) ==

The Adhomai Liberation Army possesses a small number of aviation units, composed of defected pilots from the People's Air Force. These units are attached to the armies led by junta commanders. The Air Brigades are commonly deployed in nighttime bombing missions, favoring stealth. Air combat is avoided at all costs unless there is a clear advantage. Due to their unwillingness in engaging with enemy planes, the Liberation Army makes extensive use of anti-aircraft guns.

== Royal Flying Corps (New Kingdom of Adhomai) ==

Most autogyros in the Royal Flying Corps are attached to the Royal Navy, operating from their aircraft-carrying ships. The remaining planes are assigned to complement the anti-air defenses in the Kingdom’s fortifications. Helium air balloons are used to gather intelligence in the field; the crew of these aerostats is equipped with spyglasses and parachutes. Incendiary balloons, carrying bombs or incendiary grenades, are also used by the Imperial Army.

= Special Forces =
Warfare on the surface of Adhomai is highly mobile with constantly shifting front lines and grinding engagements between exhausted armies. The special forces of each claimant to the planet's government are the oil that keeps the war machines turning. Their varying approaches and exotic tactics are essential for the war plans of their commanders, and the saving grace of their regular army unit counterparts.

== People's Republic of Adhomai ==

=== Ha'narr Corps (Mountain Ghost Corps) ===

Originally formed in '''2421''' during the first revolution, the Ha'narr Corps served as a reconnaissance, scouting, and special operations unit for the rebellion. As the predecessor of the Republican Army began to coalesce into organized units, the Ha'narr Corps was officially given its name and designated its own branch of the military outside of the regular army command structure. Although it was disbanded at the end of the first revolution, it was reformed at the dawn of the second revolution as the inflexibility of the Republican Army proved to be a vital weakness that these units corrected for. The training regime for Ha'narrii is typically anywhere in between one to three months, with recruits trained in basic survival and reconnaissance skills emphasizing self-dependence within the frozen wilderness of Adhomai. They are typically deployed for around one-year rotations before being returned home, however extenuating circumstances often change this. Small detachments of Ha'narri are typically attached to large infantry units - typically 6-22 for each field army - and report to their own command structure. Ha'narri typically operates separately of infantry and spend the bulk of their time outside of base camps and fortifications. As a scouting unit, Ha'narri travels lightly on equipment, carrying primarily the essentials for survival and only a token amount of ammunition. Many detachments also make use of snow skis in order to travel quickly in mountainous regions. Specially designed lever-action rifles are considered standard-issue, with modifications in place designed to prevent freezing or jamming within the more sensitive components. More experienced Ha'narrii make use of small, balanced bladed weapons and silenced sidearms, however, their equipment is considered highly situational based on the assignment. They are well-known for their iconic thick light-colored cloaks which they wear while traversing the vast countrysides for warmth, as well as camouflage. Due to being a dedicated scouting unit with occasional sabotage work, most Ha'narri soldiers are average shots and primarily use their weapons to skirmish enemies they encounter only long enough for them to flee and regroup before resuming operations.

=== The Republican Guard ===
Following the end of the first revolution, many veterans especially of the Ha'narr Corps had become hardened warriors with exceptional abilities. Seeking to mate the heavily refined combat effectiveness of shock troop units which formed among front-line infantry with the survival skills and mobility of the Ha'narrii, the Republican Guard was formed by absorbing all of these units as a hard-hitting highly mobile airborne special forces unit in '''2435'''. They primarily draw recruits from promising and outstanding members of the Ha'narr Corps, as well as shock infantry divisions, not at all, unlike their original founding members. Their iconic light blue berets inspire awe and admiration on the battlefield among their teammates and fear among their enemies. The Republican Guard primarily deploys by airdropping from high altitude aircraft in special thick cold-resistant pressurized soft suits, and unlike the Ha'narr, carry a considerable amount of equipment for combat operations. Unlike most troops on Adhomai, they prefer assault rifles which they primarily import from human space to ensure reliability and quality. There is still a widespread rejection of laser-based weaponry for the unreliability, the high visibility it grants to its enemies when beams travel through snow, and the difficulties of carrying and insulating spare power cells into the field. Most special operations begin with a detachment of mountain ghosts performing reconnaissance of a target and sabotage of anti-air radar capabilities, which then leads to a full Republican Guard airdrop to eliminate targets behind enemy lines before ex-filtrating via routes scouted and provided to them by the Corps. These units also see the deployment of the first prototypical Tajaran mechatronics, using in some cases experimental military rig suits and in others fully mechanized air-deployed walkers. However, these aspects of the Republican Guard's arsenal frequently fail them in the field due to their prototypical nature and the harsh environments they often deploy into.
[[File:TeslaBrigade.png|200px|thumb|right|Republican war poster announcing the establishment of the Tesla Brigade.]]
=== Tesla Brigade ===
Formed in '''2461''', the Tesla Brigade is an experimental force composed of augmented veterans. Created after the intense casualties of the Das'nrra campaign and the severe loss of Republican Guard units. Additional funding and focus were placed on a previously shelved proposal for heavily armed shock and high technology assault troopers. A special unit designated to withstand the numerical disadvantages and prolonged engagements special forces of the Republic often face. Many of the injured and disabled republican veterans were chosen to be outfitted with cutting-edge Tajaran prosthesis, which includes an advanced "Tesla Spine" which generates large amounts of electrical energy to power their prosthetic limbs - and more. These soldiers are equipped with hardsuits wielding energy weapons, which are powered by the spine in order to provide mechanically assisted movement as well as to shoot arcs of lightning which can fry enemy combatants and even destroy armored vehicles. The Tesla Brigade was deployed with success during the final stages of the Second Tajaran Civil war.

=== Party Commissars ===
Party Commissars are high-ranking members of the Party of the Free Tajara under the Leadership of Hadii attached to army units, who ensure that soldiers and their commanders follow the principles of Hadiism. Their duties are not only limited to enforcing the republican ideals among the troops and reporting possible subversive elements, they are expected to display bravery in combat and lead by example. Courage and loyalty to the Party are essentials for anyone to be considered for this prestigious position. The political officers are outside of the regular chain of command, only answering to the Party authorities. [[People's Republic of Adhomai#Notable Weapons|Nal'tor Model Pistols]] are issued to all commissars. They are known for their peaked caps bearing the symbol of the People’s Republic of Adhomai.
[[File:P'kus-3.png|300px|thumb|left|The first working design of the Division, the P'kus-3 "Egg" model.]]
=== Division Experimental Exosuit===
Envisioned in '''2461''' by Zhuldyz Hadii and the Hadii Institute of Orbital Research, Division EE (Experimental Exosuits) was conceived as a way to introduce the concept of exosuit based warfare to Adhomai. Much to the chagrin of its research team, this division’s prototypes were not unveiled until '''2463'''’s Victory Day parade. The war’s demand had led to their designs remaining unbuilt in the Second Revolution, only to begin trials in the following peace. Presently the division wields some varied mechs. Due to being unable to test them in a conventional theatre, Zhuldyz allows her researchers to produce any design they believe may work to be tested in field drills. The division retains two main mech designs: The multi-purpose and light P’kus-3 “Egg” and the artillery-focused medium Trid’irra crawler. Division EE is yet to prove itself in any conflict, given its recent introduction, and a debate remains in the various branches of the Republic’s armed forces if exosuits are worth focusing on over tank development. Models of the P’kus-3 and Trid’irra crawler have already been rolled out to the Kosmostrelki, who find great success using them in conflicts against raiders.

== Adhomai Liberation Army ==
===Hro'rammhad Tank Corps===
Lead by the famously merciful [[Notable Tajara|Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad]], the Hro'rammhad Tank Corps has the distinction of being the most powerful and accomplished armored unit in the history of Adhomai. These elite Armored Kazarrhaldiye Tajara are used primarily in offensive operations to break through opposing lines and encircle their positions. The typical Hro'rammhad Tank Corps Kazarrhaldiya Tajara consists of a tank brigade with approximately 300 main battle tanks, an artillery brigade to provide support and soften enemy defenses, and a mechanized infantry brigade. The primary tank used by the Adhomai Liberation Army and the People's Republic of Adhomai alike is the Mata'ke Rafama II Main Battle Tank, a large tank utilizing a 79.16mm cannon along with cast homogeneous steel sloped armor of about 6.858cm in the front, 4.11cm at the sides, and 3.07cm at the back. The tanks have exceptionally wide tracks which allow them to more easily tread across snowy terrains. Veterans of the Hro'rammhad Tank Corps are known for their golden pins depicting the sun-god S'rendarr which they wear on their uniforms.

===Hotak's Commandos===
Hotak's Commandos are named after [[Notable Tajara|Commander Kyff Hotak]] and are renowned for their expertise in stealth operations. Unlike other formal military units in the Adhomai Liberation Army, these commandos often dress irregularly in order to aid in their infiltration duties. Hotak's Commandos primarily serve as intelligence, meeting with rebel cells to gather observations and reports on enemy troop movements, weaknesses, and plans. Following the relaying of information back to ALA command units, they often do their best to act on information in the field, typically using local resistance units to aid in carrying out operations. One particularly feared unit of Hotak's Commandos are soldiers who infiltrate opposition units with the proper uniforms and equipment in order to kill everyone when their guards are down. These roles involve a large degree of studying on the parts of the infiltrators in order to memorize the proper mannerisms, unit structures, and party ideology of the units they target in order to act perfectly as a natural among them. A common rumor in circulation claims that they scalp their victims.

===Das’nrra Marksmen===
Selected among the best marksmen in the Kazarrhaldiye Tajara, these soldiers are renowned and feared for their deadly aim. They are commonly used for assassination missions against important elements, acting under the secret orders of the Adhomai Liberation Army. However, they can be deployed during regular warfare, offering suppressive fire and surveillance. They have earned their name after the victory against the People’s Republic in Das’nrra in 2460. The snipers played an important role in eliminating the Republican Guard deployed during the battle. In addition to marksmanship, the Das’nrra Marksmen are trained in camouflage, infiltration, and survival. Racially, they are almost entirely white-furred M'sai.
[[File:Chemicaltrooper.png|200px|thumb|right|Experimental Compound Trooper in full gear.]]
===Combat Miners===
Combat Miners are infantry specialized in demolition, digging, and tunnel warfare; they are almost exclusively recruited from Zhan-Kazan prospectors, who are known for their ancient mining traditions. They are usually tasked with creating shortcuts through defenses, either by excavating tunnels bypassing the fortifications or by making use of explosives charges to collapse any structure. It is expected for them to be the first ones to engage the enemy after breaching any position, this can result in chaotic and bloody close-quarter encounters. Every combat miner is given a mattock, which also serves as a melee weapon. Dynamite is commonly used as an improvised grenade by these bold soldiers.

===Experimental Compound Troopers===
Experimental Compound Troopers, colloquially known as "Chemical Troopers", are units specialized in chemical warfare. Originated among the ranks of the Liberation Army that were not picky about what methods they used to combat its enemies, this division underwent expansion during the Adhomian Cold War. Protected by full-body protective suits and robust gas masks, these soldiers are designated to assault fortified positions with gas attacks to flush out defenders. Besides the use of gas weapons, they are armed with Acid Throwers; a muzzle-like mechanism connected to a tank strapped on the user’s back. The main substance used in this weapon is an acidic mixture known as "Vodryanic", a deadly compound capable of dissolving unprotected organic tissue if exposed to high concentrations. The gas created by the chemical reaction also presents choking properties. Due to the obvious limitations in regards to the mobility and range of their weaponry, Experimental Compound Troopers require support during combat to successfully engage targets with the Acid Thrower.

== New Kingdom of Adhomai ==
[[File:RoyalGrenadier.png|200px|thumb|left|A Royal Grenadier in his equipment combat armor, resting.]]
=== Imperial Dragoons ===

The Imperial Dragoons of the New Kingdom of Adhomai are a type of Alam'ard that most Alyad'almalik contains at least one of. The units claim to have roots that stretch back centuries to when military tacticians began recognizing the value of light infantry units that could ride around enemy flanks to deploy. Beginning with muzzle-loaded carbines and riding atop Zhsramii, these dragoons changed the face of warfare on Adhomai as they first began to roll out. The original Tajaran word for these units was lost with the passage of time along with most pre-war knowledge, and so, reluctantly, with the reformation of these units following the secession of the New Kingdom, a human cognate was used to describe them. Modern Dragoons still ride Zhsramii into battle, but now utilize semi-automatic carbine rifles. During battles, they are used to reinforce weak points along their allied line, as well as to take advantage of gaps in the enemy lines. Their Zhsramii saddles come with carbine holsters where the Dragoons can keep their rifles while they gallop around the battlefield. This also enables them to draw their sabers and perform cavalry charges on routing enemies as well as ambush unsuspecting patrols. Their uniforms are iconic for their bright white colors with golden buttons with varying colors of sashes depending on their specific unit. Tall black Nav'twir fur hats are synonymous with the Dragoons and are sought-after souvenirs by foreigners for their comfort as well as style. Racially, they are almost entirely M'sai so that they can endure the bitter winds and travel more quickly.

=== Royal Grenadiers ===

The Royal Grenadiers of the New Kingdom of Adhomai is another form of Alam'ard which is famous for being composed of primarily large muscular Zhan-Kazan Tajara. They claim to have ties to history as being infantrymen at the front strong enough to throw cumbersome early Tajaran grenades into enemy lines. In the modern context, they are typically used as shock troops along the front line to strike fear into the hearts of the opposition. They are renowned for their savage melee combat, and their bayonet charges often rout their enemies. However, their bayonets are not what distinguishes them from the armaments of their regular line infantry counterparts, but rather their plated metal armor, metal claw attachments, and firebomb grenades. These items make them formidable fighters in urban combat situations where they excel in close-quarters combat. In field warfare, on the other hand, their slow movements leave them highly vulnerable to skirmishers and light infantry. Their grenade satchels are usually highly decorative thick leather bags, typically with their Alam'ard's insignia on the clasp. Many take their satchels home with them when they leave the service.

=== Ras'nrr Expeditionary Force Marines ===

The Ras'nrr Expeditionary Force Marines are composed of twenty-two Alam'arda specialized in supporting land operations through amphibious assaults. This force was initially created with the purpose of conquering territory at Ras'nrr, but with the failure of the campaign, they were repurposed into their own fighting unit. They have been deployed with success by the New Kingdom during the war, making good use of the Fleet mobility to encircle enemies and capture positions. Boarding operations and protection of ships are also part of the duties of a royal marine. '''Mrraka'te'almalik Marrmeladov''' is the noble responsible for commanding these troops. The royal marines are equipped with bolt action rifles, hand cannons, shotguns, and bayonets.

===New Kingdom Auxiliary Forces===

The New Kingdom's military forces are segregated based on its soldier's origins. Amohdan and Rock nomads are forced to serve in their separated regiments and can not integrate the main command structure.

====Rock Nomad Light Cavalry====
[[Tajaran Ethnicities#Rhazar'Hrujmagh|Rock Nomads]], under the command of Mrraka'te'almalik [[Notable Tajara#King of the Mountains Rustam Harmaliik|Rustam Harmaliik]], are used as light cavalry by the royal army. Their main tactics include hit-and-run tactics and raiding enemy supply lines, always avoiding direct confrontation. They ride into battle on their Zhsramii, firing short rifles or revolvers before retreating. The Rhazar'Hrujmagh brings their family wagons to the battlefield, as their vehicles provide extra supplies and cover when needed. Since they lack the discipline and traditional training of a regular Alam'ard, looting and unordered retreats are a common problem among them

====Amohdan Swordsmen====
Amohdan swordsmen are traditional M'sai warriors from the island of Amohda, brought to Harr’masir after the New Kingdom retreated from that front. Unlike other Alam’ard, they favor melee assaults above ranged engagements. Due to their ancestral traditions, these Tajara seek glory in combat. They bring their ancestral armor and blades to the battlefield, but most of them also carry firearms. While they are not effective in the field against regular infantry, they excel in close-quarter engagements present in ambushes and trench warfare.

====Zarr’jiri Troops====

Zarr’jiri are a group of M’sai hailing from the [[New_Kingdom_of_Adhomai#Zarr.27jirah_Mountains|Zarr’jirah mountains]] of Harr’masir. With a long tradition of serving the old nobility, these iron-nerved fighters came to fight on King Azunja’s behalf during the Second Revolution. They served as forward scouts for the Imperial Army and RMI, providing both with crucial information, while also carrying out daring night raids. Zarr’jiri were well-known for simply using whatever equipment they would steal during these attacks. On the battlefield the Zarr’jiri identified each other with blue headbands or sashes.

= Military Traditions and Daily Life =

== People's Republic of Adhomai ==

Because of Nated's coup and President Hadii's paranoia, most of the early Republican Army traditions were replaced by political indoctrination. Soldiers are taught to obey and worship the Party above everything else; recruits are taught that they are the guardians of the revolution and must do their best to fight for the Republic. While this education created a military loyal to the civil government, its effect on the morale of the troops is considered questionable. Thanks to the presence of Party Commissars, hazing has become uncommon.

The Hadiist salute is done by raising the right hand at the chest height with the palm facing towards the saluter while perking the ears forward.

The daily life of a Hadiist soldier is marked by strict discipline and a rigid routine. Recruits must wake up at a set time to sing the national anthem before heading to their duties. Every assignment is usually preceded by political ceremonies praising the Party and President Hadii. Insubordination is harshly punished by the military courts. Despite this stern routine, Republican soldiers are also entitled to their own leisure time. Once a week, servicemen are allowed to spend a day watching holovideos, enjoy their facility's recreation centers, play cards games with their comrades, and visit the nearest city to enjoy its attractions.

== Adhomai Liberation Army ==

Owing to its structure and origins, the Liberation Army has a rich array of military traditions. Every battalion has its song, symbols, and rituals; many of these customs are based on their regional identities. While this creates a strong sense of camaraderie among the members of the same unit, it can lead to rivalries and infighting between the forces of the ALA. Hazing is still commonly practiced.

The Al'mariist salute is done by raising the right hand at the chest height, turning the hand to the chest, and then closing it into a fist while perking the ears forward.

The daily life of an Al'mariist soldier mostly depends on who is he serving under: fanatical warlords impose strict routines and exhausting training sessions, while most reasonable commanders enforce only the necessary drills. Liberation Army Tajara wake up early for training, followed by performing any kind of duty that their junta requires; this can range from repairing roads to law enforcement. Military forces in civilian areas are merely left to patrol the borders or guard their bases. During the weekend and at night, soldiers are free to have their leisure time. Outside of enjoying whatever their installations might offer, they usually head to the cities or villages to mingle with the population.

== New Kingdom of Adhomai ==

The early Imperial Army inherited most of its traditions from the pre-revolution forces until the draft. With the new surge of conscripts, a clear division between the nobles and commoners in the military emerged. The nobility is infamous for its internal rivalities and glory-hound tendencies; officers frequently engage in risky operations to gain fame and the attention of their superiors. Subject to the whims of their superiors, a strong sense of camaraderie exists between the commoners; they stand together to survive whatever the enemy and their officers throw at them.

The day of a New Kingdom's soldiers starts with them being awake at dawn to perform basic maintenance of their bases. After their installations are in order, training exercises are performed until the afternoon, when their superiors either dismiss the Tajara or assign them other tasks. Outside of patrolling and guarding bases, conscripts are frequently tasked with doing personal tasks for their superiors; many noble cottages were built by conscripts. Thanks to the frugal nature of the Royalist military installations, servicemen are left with little options on how to spend their leisure time; most just head to the nearest pub.

The Royalist salute is done by raising the right hand to the head while using only the index and middle finger, bending the other fingers at the knuckles, with the palm facing towards the signer with the ears folding backward.

= Notable Decorations and Medals =

Because of the cultural impact of the civil wars in the Tajara species, medals are treated with the utmost respect by society. Veterans commonly wear their decorations to formal occasions. Falsifying or selling a medal is a crime in all Tajaran nations.

== People's Republic of Adhomai Medals ==

*'''Hero of the People's Republic Medal:''' the highest distinction in the People's Republic of Adhomai, awarded for great service or heroic act while in duty to the nation. It can be bestowed to civilian and military recipients. Unlike all other rewards, this medal is given by President Hadii personally.

*'''President Hadii Medal for Courage:''' a medal awarded to the soldiers and PSIS agents who performed acts of bravery during the war, security operations, or during military duties. While this medal has no benefit attached to it, being granted one is a matter of pride to Hadiist troops.

*'''Messa's Virtue Medal:''' a posthumous award bestowed to Tajara who lost their lives while serving the People's Republic. This medal, alongside a lifetime pension, is usually handed to the family of the recipient.

*'''Medal for the Evacuation of Das'nrra:''' a medal given to anyone who participated in the evacuation of the Republican Army from Das'nrra in 2460. The civilian crewmembers of the ships repossessed for the operation were also granted this award.

*'''Medal for the Defense of the Homeland:''' awarded to those who fought alongside the S'rand'marr Coalition in 2461. This was the last medal issued concerning the Second Revolution. It is one of the few Hadiist service awards to be bestowed to non-Tajara; a few select members of the Tau Ceti and Jargon Federation forces were given this award.

== Adhomai Liberation Army Medals ==

*'''Adhomai Hero of the Liberation Medal:''' the highest decoration given to any Al'mariist citizen for their service to the Democratic People's Republic. Only the President and the Supreme Commander are allowed to bestow this medal.

*'''Al'mariist Medal for Bravery:''' an award bestowed to Liberation Army fighters for acts of courage during their service. Since Junta commanders are allowed to issue this medal, the pieces have a varying degree of quality - ranging from scrap metal to silver - and artwork.

*'''Al'mariist Martyr Medal:''' an award granted to those who perished or were gravely wounded while fighting for the Liberation Army. This medal was also infamously awarded to terrorists from the liberation cells.

*'''Medal for the Liberation of Das'nrra:''' awarded to the Liberation Army soldiers who fought to expel the People's Republic army from the continent of Das'nrra. Because of the presence of the entire Republican Guard during the battle, this medal is considered a symbol of bravery.

*'''Medal for the Liberation of Gakal'zaal:''' the first medal to be created after the Second Revolution; it was awarded to the Tajara who took part in the liberation of [[Gakal'zaal]]. It was also granted to civilians who actively sabotaged the Unathi war effort.

== New Kingdom of Adhomai Medals ==

*'''Order of the Victorious Sun:''' the highest order in the New Kingdom, granted for exceptional service to the Royalist cause or for leading the military to victory. A non-hereditary title of nobility is also bestowed to the recipient if they are not already part of the nobility.

*'''Order of Mata'ke:''' an order bestowed to soldiers and officers for acts of bravery while in the service of the Crown. The awards given to commoners are known to be less adorned than the ones awarded to nobles. This order does not grant a title of nobility.

*'''Order of the Blue Heart:''' a decoration awarded to those killed while serving the Kingdom's military. Due to issues with keeping up with the production shortly after the start of the war, this medal is now only given to higher-ranked members of the military.

*'''Medal for the Defense of the Kingdom:''' a medal awarded to those who participated in the defense of Northern Harr'masir during the Hadiist offensive of 2458. Thanks to the presence of the volunteer forces, this was one of the few Royalist campaign medals to be given to non-Tajara.

*'''Medal for the Harr'masir Offensive:''' an award bestowed to the military personnel who took part in the final offensive to liberate Harr'masir from Hadiist occupation in 2461. This medal is the only service award to be granted to the Rock Nomads by the New Kingdom.

{{Navbox Lore}}
{{Navbox Human Lore}}

The Orion Spur is an exceedingly diverse place for humanity, filled with everything from dysfunctional “republics” to authoritarian monarchies to former colonies struggling to get onto their feet, and so much more in between! Yet despite how stunningly diverse humanity is, it is united in its love of one thing: entertainment! With human entertainment ranging from massive theaters showing the latest blockbuster on their holo-screens to humble gaming consoles and VR sets, humanity consumes and produces mass media at a scale unmatched by any other species in the Orion Spur. While attempting to list every form of popular media in the Orion Spur would take an obscenely long time, below we will touch on some of the most popular forms of media in the Orion Spur that humanity has created.

==Entertainment Consumption in the 2460s==

The ways in which humanity — and those living in human-dominated areas, such as the Republic of Biesel, view and consume entertainment media is quite diverse in of itself. While radio remains common, most households in civilized space will receive their entertainment through their television and many more expensive variants, such as a holographic projector that produces a three-dimensional viewing experience with some advertised as being realistic enough that the audience is transported into the scenery of the production itself. Movie theaters that use these three-dimensional holographic projectors on a larger scale are referred to as holo-plexes and are rarely found outside of well-developed human worlds due to the massive investment needed to create them and prohibitively high maintenance costs.

Phones remain common in the 2460s and can be found throughout human space and beyond, and most humans on highly-developed worlds such as [[Luna]] or [[Biesel]] will use a phone nearly every for both entertainment and work purposes. Corporate employees will go out of their way to purchase a phone from the Eridani Corporate Federation due to their widespread reputation for excellent utility in a corporate setting; features such as holographic projectors can be locked to the retinal implant of an employee, allowing only them and their supervisors to see displayed holographic images. NanoTrasen has, for some time, attempted to get ahead of the curve on employees purchasing their own devices by offering (mandatory) PDAs to all employees. They have found some success in this, despite issues with PDA security and the ease with which the devices can be cracked to run non-official programs.

Video games are widely consumed throughout the Orion Spur’s human powers and span an incredibly diverse range of genres and topics, ranging from nationalistic shooters to dramas capable of challenging, perhaps even surpassing, the stories of the greatest films the Spur has to offer. Video games are primarily played through either a console or computer, though arcades and public virtual reality arenas are commonplace throughout human space. Commercially viable public virtual reality arenas are a somewhat recent arrival to the entertainment market and only started to become widespread following the runaway success of [[Human_Social_Media#Holo-Dive | Holo-Dive]], a virtual reality social media platform created through a collaboration between Idris Incorporated and Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals.

Streaming — particularly the streaming of video games — it remains a common form of entertainment in the 2460s. Successful streamers are celebrities unto themselves. The Republic of Biesel has become something of a hub for the media form due to its diversity and the legal loopholes in the Republic’s law allowing streamers to function mostly independently as long as they are employed by a megacoporation. Many streamers will operate through Chirper or HoloDive as both platforms have systems in place to support streamers on their platform—for a price, of course. Successful streamers can easily make it their job, but most will simply stream as a side job while collecting corporate sponsorships as they go. In addition to more traditional streaming advances made by [[Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals]], Jeonshi Biotech Incorporated have allowed for the creation of streaming devices small enough to fit into augmented eyes, which have allowed for frame-by-frame streaming of sports directly from the eyes of an athlete. The future of sportscasting, today!

==[[Republic of Biesel]]==

The media of the Republic of [[Biesel]] is (often rightfully) criticized for being low-quality by critics from across the Orion Spur. NanoTrasen’s utter dominance over the system results in little to no non-NanoTrasen owned business including film studios and independent media-producers, leading to an enormous brain drain to more established capitals of the entertainment industry such as Venus and, less commonly, Persepolis. What media that is produced in the Republic is typically heavily biased towards NanoTrasen and rarely displays competing perspectives. However, this may change in the immediate future due to Einstein Engines allowing for the establishment of Phoenix Productions, an independent film-making studio in Phoenixport. Some of the most notable entertainment products from the young Republic include, but are not limited to:

The '''NT-Game!''' (emphasis included, and highly recommended if you are the person responsible for selling it at your local NTmart) is NanoTrasen’s flagship gaming system, and is loosely based upon the electronics used in the standard NT-PDA every employee is issued before starting work at a NanoTrasen-owned facility. The NT-Game! is a remarkably cheap device beloved by adults and children alike throughout the Republic of Biesel and has a battery capable of running for two days without charging in ideal conditions. With a variety of games including Foreign Legionnaire: Heroes of Tau Ceti, the NT-Game! is certain to remain relevant for years to come. NT-Game! software is mostly compatible with the software of a standard NT-PDA, which has led to some employees modifying their PDAs to play NT-Swap! Games. NanoTrasen advises its employees not to do this, but has found little success in stopping the spread of “cracked” PDAs among its employees. Users of the NT-Game! are referred to by marketing as '''NT-Gamers!''' (also with emphasis) despite criticism at how “horribly corporate,” the name is.

The flagship game of the NT-Game! (emphasis is important, remember that) is -- as mentioned above -- '''Foreign Legionnaire: Heroes of Tau Ceti'''. Foreign Legionnaire is a first-person shooter set during the declaration of independence of Tau Ceti that postulates a “what if?” scenario where the Sol Alliance invaded the Republic of Biesel rather than letting it go free. The player takes control of a volunteer of the Tau Ceti Foreign Legion, which has hastily formed in response to the Solarian invasion. While the campaign has been hailed by Republican media for its story of a brave, ultimately hopeless stand against the Alliance, the real draw of Foreign Legionnaire is undoubtedly the multiplayer: players fight massive battles in locations across Tau Ceti as either a member of the Alliance or the Republic using a variety of guns and vehicles.

==[[Sol Alliance]]==

The Alliance is home to the greatest share of humanity’s entertainment industry due to its massive size and often ancient production companies, some of which can trace their founding back to even before humans were able to go beyond their own atmosphere! Despite an increasingly authoritarian climate and the loss of much territory by the Alliance in recent years, Cytherea has managed to retain its spot as the so-called “Emperor of Entertainment” and attempts to censor it by the Alliance’s government have slid off of it like rain due to [[Venus]]’ prominent position in the Alliance. Many of Biesel’s prominent entertainers— actors to writers— eventually find their way to Cytherea due to Venus’ lack of a megacorporate stranglehold. But while Cytherea may be the Emperor, it is hardly the only source of entertainment! Planets throughout the Alliance produce their own forms of media ranging from crime dramas on [[New Hai Phong]] to [[Human_Social_Media#Holo-Dive |Holo-Dive]] vacations on [[Silversun]] sponsored by [[Idris Incorporated]].

One of the most successful video games in the Alliance is '''Solarian Marines''', a multiplayer-only first-person shooter with real-time strategy elements that throws players into a conflict between the 3rd Battalion of the 54th Solarian Marine Regiment and the heinous Tup Research Division of the Jargon Federation that has gone rogue due to the presence of the insane Xivxum Xiuzux. With the Federation unable to stop the rogue doctor, the heroic marines must step in and save the day. Despite drawing controversy due to its negative depictions of the skrell, Solarian Marines is played throughout the Orion Spur due to continued support of its asymmetrical gameplay. The Marines must land upon the planet from their vessel, the Conrad, before pushing into and eliminating the Tup research facility deep underground. The Tups must steal DNA using small, invisible probe units that disable and temporarily knock marines out in order to unlock more powerful Skrell bioforms and push the marines back onto the Conrad (this depiction of the Jargon Federation’s Tups has drawn immense criticism from the Federation itself, but has not stopped the game from becoming a best-seller). With a wild variety of Skrell bioforms -- ranging from the Tup themselves to hulking war bioforms able to throw marines like ragdolls -- and marine roles -- from humble grunts to the Captain of the Conrad -- Solarian Marines has enough to keep players occupied for hundreds of hours as long as they can get past its extremely controversial depiction of Skrell. Plus, extensive character creation you can design your own marine that looks like you!

The most successful movie franchise in the Alliance, perhaps in the entire Spur, is without a doubt '''Monkey King'''. With its seventh main line installment having recently released in February 2463 to rave reviews and massive profits, the Cytherean-produced series has secured its continued dominance over the holovid (or “holo-movie” for the official term) industry despite criticism that the series primarily centered around the titular Monkey King’s visually stunning fights rather than actual plots. The Monkey King himself is depicted as a wandering hero travelling throughout the Orion Spur and beyond in search of the next biggest fight to prove himself in. A reason for the ongoing profitability of Monkey King is the early adoption of holographic movie projection by the franchise in the mid-2430s, which helped bring the franchise to the next level of spectacle: viewers are transported into the fight itself, able to view it from almost any angle if viewed in an appropriately equipped holo-plex theater.

==[[Empire of Dominia]]==

The Imperial entertainment industry is a curious one thanks to the authoritarian and highly-centralized nature of the Empire of Dominia itself, with the royal family often known for interfering in the entertainment industry (for better or worse). Despite this, it maintains a respectable entertainment industry that, while being nowhere near the size of the Alliance or Republic of Biesel, has achieved a reputation for quality productions. A majority of the Empire’s entertainment products can be found in the greater Orion Spur regardless of the Empire’s debatable reputation in the Coalition of Colonies and Republic of Elyra, but the largest market for Dominian entertainment media remains the Empire itself as very little Dominian media is designed for a wider (and non-Dominian) audience.

Easily the most popular entertainment product in the Empire is the critically-acclaimed '''Our Holy Moroz''', a ten-season drama set during the closing years of the War of Moroz leading up to the unification of the planet Moroz under the Empire of Dominia. The series is centered around two characters: Captain Cynthia Desrosiers of the Imperial Alliance and her nemesis, Lieutenant Jalo Heikkinen of the Confederated States. Even though it was produced in the Imperial capital of Nova Luxembourg, Our Holy Moroz is widely regarded as an extremely nuanced and fair dramatization of the War of Moroz, with an ensemble cast portraying characters and some historical figures from both the Confederated States of Fisanduh and Imperial Alliance. Curiously, future Emperor Godwin Keeser’s face is never directly shown and is instead depicted with his back to the camera— producers explain this is to avoid creating an impostor of the late Emperor. With its tenth season slated to end the series in November of 2463, Imperial subjects and even some beyond Dominia’s borders hold their breath in anticipation of the last showdown between Desrosiers and Heikkinen.

While Boleslaw Keeser the First may be the undisputed Emperor of Dominia, the undisputed master of the Dominian video gaming market— by extension, esports is included here— is the wildly popular '''Reign of Steel''', produced by a programming studio affiliated with House Volvalaad. Reign is a highly competitive and finely tuned shooter set in a fictitious version of the Interstellar War in which players can fight for either the Frontier Coalition or Solarian Central Government. With hundreds of ways to equip your soldier and an engrossing gameplay loop, Reign has been a smash hit both inside and outside of the Empire thanks to a large sponsorship from House Volvalaad and seems set to become one of the most popular esports in the Orion Spur. Many theorize that the reason for this success—massive funding by the Volvalaads aside, of course— its semi-fictional setting, which allows it to be sold anywhere in the Spur without arousing nationalistic anger.

==[[Eridani Federation]]==

Eridanian entertainment shares much with the greater Solarian Alliance as a whole due to its position within the Jewel Worlds of the Alliance, yet a good variety of local entertainment media has managed to develop within the Corporate Federation, free of the influence of the greater Alliance. However, the uniquely corporate nature of the Federation and immense divisions between the haves and have-nots has shaped Eridanian media into its unique current form: there is an extremely clear divide between the entertainment media a model employee should subscribe to and the entertainment media only suited for dregs and those with ink under their leisure suits.

A model employee of Eridani’s highly valued corporations will derive their primary source of entertainment from podcasts, either at home, at work, or on the go. These podcasts are widely promoted by the corporations of the Federation and listening to them while working is typically not forbidden by the majority of employers for very practical reasons: giving employees access to entertainment that they can use while still having their hands and eyes free to work cuts down on the need for employees to have breaks for entertainment and relaxation and can often contribute to productivity. Many corporations have in-house podcasts available only to loyal employees as an incentive for productivity and sharing these is often a quick way to be fired from one’s position. Another common feature of Eridanian corporate entertainment are “minicasts,” podcasts designed to last as long as the time it takes transportation to go from an employee’s residence to their office. These are typically produced by the employee’s corporation for their own use in order to incentivize continued work with the company. Some of these minicasts are known for being so well-produced that they have followings outside of Eridani, though they hardly make up a large part of the Orion Spur’s media marketplace.
Dregs on the other hand produce very little entertainment media of their own with some— mostly Eridanian— critics claiming dregs are simply too brutish and uncivilized to ever create something beautiful. Some dreg-produced entertainment series, such as the Mendell City-based '''Underlife''' podcast that catalogues life in Eridani’s underworld, go against this stereotype. Many, however, are unable to overcome their circumstances and with their lives defined by overwhelming levels of poverty and crime, the average dreg’s entertainment is typically derived from illegal narcotics rather than media. Some theorize that Eridanian pharmaceutical companies are one of the main sources of drugs in Eridani’s underworld and inflate supply in order to keep the large population of dregs content.

==[[Republic of Elyra]]==

Due to the heavily isolationist and top-down nature, the Republic of Elyra, has a somewhat small, quality entertainment industry that is primarily centered around the planet of Persepolis. Though it is overshadowed in Elyra by more traditional art forms on other Elyran planets such as [[Medina]], Elyran entertainment typically finds more success in the greater Orion Spur. The entertainment industry that does exist in the Serene Republic is centered around films and animation and has a reputation for pursuing quality over quantity due to its small size. Elyran arthouse cinema is considered by some to be on the same level of quality as Venus, though it often struggles to match the scale and spectacle of the Solarian capital of entertainment. Elyran Sadiququus, or QQs, are not considered to strictly be part of the entertainment industry, instead being considered their own industry.

The most famous holovid to come out of the animation studios of [[Persepolis]] is the long-running '''Freedom Fliers''' series, produced by Marut Studios, which portrays the trials and tribulations of exosuit and mech pilots during the Interstellar War through the use of fictional characters. The series is beloved in the Republic of Elyra and Coalition of Colonies for its well-developed cast of characters and patriotic roots in fighting against the Sol Alliance, ostensibly being not well-received in the Sol Alliance. It has become prominent in Tau Ceti post-independence, and its advertisements can often be found throughout the Republic of Biesel.

A less famous yet still beloved holovid originating in the animation studios of Persepolis is the '''Blood on the Sands''' series, which presents a dramatization of the Medina [[Medina#The_Phoron_Bulletin|phoron bulletin]] and the phoron hunters that work to fulfill it. Full of drama, intrigue, and suspense, Blood on the Sands has seen wild success in the Republic itself, and its broad cast of characters dedicated to hunting phoron have helped it become widely watched outside of the Republic. Its producers, Leviathan Studios, are well regarded throughout the animation industry for the lengths they have taken to ensure Blood on the Sands remains as faithful to its source material as possible all while being animated.

==[[Coalition of Colonies]]==

The entertainment industry of the Coalition is incredibly decentralized due to the nature of the Coalition itself with each planet producing its own unique forms of media ranging from anti-Solarian propaganda on Gadpathur (from posters to popular animated cartoons) to true crime series set in the seedy underbelly of Xanu Prime. However, much of the Coalition’s well-known entertainment media can be traced back to its more developed colonies such as Himeo and Xanu Prime (along with its colonies, such as Crosk), with less-developed planets rarely producing entertainment that becomes known beyond the Coalition itself.

Despite its humble origins in the Republic of Assunzione, the open-world RPG '''Lightwalker''' has found itself popular throughout the Orion Spur due to its setting and mix of traditional roleplaying game and horror elements. Gameplay centers around the player creating and taking control of a Zeng-Hu-sponsored exploration team that is being sent into uncharted depths of Light’s Edge to find and retrieve a device referred to as the “bianhua”. The myriad twist and turns along the way will find the player and their team pushed to the limit by forces inside and outside of their small vessel. When they ultimately reach the bianhua, they are presented with a choice: should this device even be retrieved, or was the bianhua abandoned in this far away sector for a reason? Despite receiving some criticism from Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals itself, Lightwalker has been massively successful throughout the Orion Spur. However, many on Assunzione avoid the game due to its “gamifying” of Light’s Edge and what can be found within its uncharted sectors.

The long-running detective drama '''Xanu Underground''' is perhaps the most easily recognized piece of entertainment from the Coalition itself. With the series having run for nearly seventy continuous years, Xanu Underground and its uncompromising depiction of life in the massive cities of Xanu Prime have achieved fame throughout the Orion Spur as one of the greatest police procedurals ever made. Though initially set in the transition from Solarian to local rule at the start of the Interstellar War, Xanu Underground has jumped around the planet’s history with a five-season-long series generally centered around two detectives. The most recent protagonists are vice detective Beatrice Fitzpatrick and her baseline colleague ICO (short for Intelligence Cataloguer and Organizer) and their attempts to bring down a drug smuggling cartel operating out of Zaurghis. With this series’ second season having started in 2463, it is clear that much of their story remains.

[[Tajara|Tajaran]] history and society has a long list of notable individuals and heroes that are known across [[Adhomai]].

==People's Republic==

''"Comrades, in this struggle we fight to protect the progress we have fought so hard to make in the preceding decades. Our march forever onwards for a Hadiist society must not be stopped by the usurpers who would see us become a brutish military dictatorship, nor those fetid imperialists who would restore the atrocities of the old ways."''

''- President Njadrasanukii Hadii, in a televised address to the people in 2452.''
===President Njadrasanukii Hadii===

[[File:Hadii portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the president, done in 2460.]]
Njadrasanukii Hadii, also known as Malik Hadii, was born in '''2402''' to the noble Njarir'Akhran Hadii line. His mother was Rajjurl Hadii, and his father Tajrhalrr Hadii. He got involved with the military at an early age, becoming a cadet for the Royal Navy at 16 and achieving a commission as a Lieutenant-Commander at 22, and leading his own destroyer as a Captain at 29. During the revolution, he briefly fought for the loyalists but was recalled to the Hadii Citadel to help defend his family's ancestral home. Following the revolution and the Hadii's rise in the new Federal Republic, Njadrasanukii was given the office of Vice-President under his brother Al'Mari Hadii.

Malik assumed the presidency in '''2451''' after the assassination of Al'mari. He continued his brother's early agenda of collaborating with NanoTrasen and other galactic powers. Njadrasanukii purged any suspicious elements from his administration after the Nated's coup, consolidating his power through the imprisonment and execution of anyone that threatened his regime. Further authoritarian measures were established by him; the expansion of the secret police, the rapid industrialization of the PRA, and further persecution against those who did not conform to his policies. Under Malik Hadii's control, the current form of Hadiism took shape; an ideology focused on the creation of a monolithic Tajaran culture under the unquestionable guidance of the Hadii political line. The office of the president had its powers largely expanded under his rule, allowing Njadrasanukii to control all aspects of the People's Republic government. Total loyalty to Njadrasanukii is expected from all Party members.

A state-endorsed cult of personality has been established around President Hadii. Through a robust propaganda system, republican citizens are informed daily about Malik's achievements and how only through his guidance the Republican can prosper. Portraits of President Hadii can be found in most Hadiist homes and government buildings. Njadrasanukii is known for his speeches praising his own administration and the bravery of his people; his voice can be heard frequently on the radio. While many admire him as a strong leader, others fear his ruthless ways of dealing with the opposition.

President Hadii is famous for his extreme paranoia. Very few high-ranking members of the Party have direct access to him and little is known about his private life. He is constantly surrounded by hand-picked members of the secret service; those bodyguards are always under the risk of being purged for any reason. It is rumored that he has survived more than three hundred assassination attempts.

The few Tajara who had the opportunity to know President Hadii personally, portray him as energetic, charismatic, thoughtful, but deeply paranoid and vindictive. Njadrasanukii cultivates an image of a simple Tajara; he leads a frugal lifestyle with few material needs. Because of the nature of the PRA's government, President Hadii's work and private life are deeply entangled. President Hadii's favorite pastimes are watching movies, playing Farehal, and reading books; rumors claim that Njadrasanukii has at least 20,000 Tajaran and alien books in his private collection.

Despite the outcome of the Second revolution, Njadrasanukii continues to rule the People's Republic with an iron grip. He did not give up his plans of reestablishing Hadiist hegemony over Adhomai.

[[File:headmaster portrait.png|200px|thumb|left|A rare picture of the camera shy Tyr'adrr, taken during the closure of an illegal protest, dated to 2459.]]
===Headmaster Harrrdanim Tyr'adrr===

Harrrdanim was born in '''2425''' to a M'sai family serving the Hadii during the First Revolution. Wishing to follow in the footsteps of his parents, he joined the Hadiist Party at a young age. He soon caught the attention of the People's Strategic Intelligence Service due to his craftiness and was given a position in the agency. Despite enjoying moderate success during the late years of Al’mari’s rule, Tyr'adrr rose to prominence after the President’s assassination. Leading several purges within the secret service, he was able to secure a promotion as the Headmaster after the previous head was arrested for suspicious behavior. Under Tyr’addr’s control, the PSIS became the feared terror machine it is today. Heavy investments in surveillance technology, the establishment of a robust web of informants, and the large-scale repression of political opponents greatly weakened the opposition in the People’s Republic. His supposed adventures during this period have spawned an entire "spy thriller" genre in the Republic.

After helping secure President Hadii's rule, Headmaster Harrdanim focused his efforts on fighting the Liberation Army and the New Kingdom. Ruthless anti-partisan campaigns were carried out under his supervision. The displacement of Chaniska’s native population, scorched-earth tactics in Northern Ras'nrr, and the creation of Try'urma Penitentiary were among some of his orders during the conflict. His actions during the Second Revolution earned him the reputation of being merciless and bloodthirsty. In spite of several assassination attempts, ALA agents failed to murder him and he continued his reign of terror unimposed.

Even after the Armistice, Headmaster Harrdanim continues to work tirelessly to undermine the enemies of the Republic. He has a large interest in securing the Tajara population living outside of Adhomai and is responsible for the PSIS presence in District Six. He is eager to suggest more authoritarian solutions and believes in increasing, even more, the state’s control over the population. Because of the role of the Strategic Service in the government, Tyr'adrr is one of the most powerful and hated Tajara in the People's Republic. While seemingly loyal to President Hadii, many in the Party fear where Tyr'adrr's ambition might lead him.

Analytic, controlling, and cold are some of the words frequently used to describe Harrrdanim's personality. The headmaster is known to calculate every step on his way; he tries his hardest to manipulate the events in his favor. Tyr'adarr is also infamous for never assuming any kind of blame - a scapegoat, willingly or not, always shows up to take the fall. Thanks to his position in the government, little to nothing is known about his personal life.

===Party Secretary Yakiv Hadii===

Yakiv Hadii was born in '''2412''' as the second cousin to President Hadii. While too young to take part in the First Revolution, Yakiv joined the Hadiist Party as soon as he could. During Njadrasanukii’s rule, he excelled as a bureaucrat due to his organizational skills. He managed the distribution of land and the establishment of communal farms during the Republican Agrarian reforms. Through a combination of political maneuvers and nepotism, he quickly climbed the Party's ranks. Yakiv sought to further the Republican relationship with NanoTrasen, seeking their support for the development of Adhomai. This stance caused him to lose Al’mari’s favor during the years leading to the Second Revolution. He was then demoted to an unimportant position in the Ministry of Agriculture.

Yakiv returned to prominence after Rhagrrhuzau’s assassination; he was seen as a way to link Malik’s rule to his now-deceased brother. Following the abolishment of the office of vice-president, Yakiv was promoted as the Party Secretary by Njadrasanukii. He became responsible for the internal organization and reviewing applications to the Party; he was quick to remove many of his political opponents from power using his new powers. Known as unquestionably loyal to President Hadii, he became infamous for being nothing but a yes man. He continued his policy of maintaining good relations with megacorporations, lobbying for more deals with NanoTrasen. Countless Tajara were given the opportunity to leave Adhomai due to his efforts, most sold as cheap labor while some others were able to acquire higher education. During the final stages of the war, he was one of the main proponents of the need for foreign intervention to save the People's Republic.

After the Armistice, Yakiv remained as Party Secretary. He is one of the closest advisors to President Hadii, helping Malik in matters related to internal and external affairs. Despite being an orthodox Hadiist, he is eager to push for changes to appease NanoTrasen and other foreign powers in an attempt to gain their support. Many within the Party see Yakiv as a power-hungry and untrustworthy politician, eager to abuse his power to reach what he wants. Others recognize him as a cunning politician with a rather dangerous influence over President Hadii.

Yakiv Hadii is a notorious opportunist and sycophant; he is always trying to acquire any kind of leverage where it might exist. Personally, this means that Yakiv is more than eager to make friends with anyone of any importance. However, the friendship might come with strings attached: a request to repay a favor or take part in a shady business. Yakiv takes full advantage of his position within the Hadiist Party to indulge himself in all luxuries available to the political elite. Because of this lifestyle, Yakiv has become noticeably overweight.

===Minister of Defense Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar===

Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar was born into a Hharar peasant family in '''2428'''. He was raised around veterans of the first revolution and was always interested in their stories. Owing to the new opportunities brought by the People’s Republic, Irbaykhan enrolled in a military academy and joined the Grand People's Army as an officer. He survived the purges of the early Hadiist government because of his political reliability; as he was one of the first army leaders to support President Hadii during his ascension. This left him in the privileged situation of being one of the few properly trained officers at the dawn of the Nated’s coup.

Irbaykhan quickly climbed the ranks of the Republican Army during the Second Revolution. Making extensive use of artillery and motorized troops, he secured early victories that gave much-needed breathing room to the fragile Republic. While in command of the Dymtris Front in '''2456''', he pushed the New Kingdom into the defensive position that they would remain in until the very end of the war. Mirarkiizar’s final promotion during the conflict was to the theater commander of the Rass’nrr Military District. With the help of the alien allies of the Republic, he managed to recapture the main region of the continent. He was given a seat in the Ministry of Defense after the Armistice, working alongside the upper echelons of the Party to refine the Republic’s strategy.

Unlike most members of the Ministry of Defense, Irbaykhan has both political connections and practical experience in the field. This combination has made him one of President Hadii’s closest advisors in regard to military matters. Currently, he is responsible for the Hro'zamal campaign. Mirarkiizar sees the Grand People's Army as an essential component of the Hadiist state; the ever-vigilant guardian of the Republic against its enemies. The Minister believes that strict discipline and union towards a common goal is the best way to safeguard the future of the People’s Republic.

Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar is known for his disciplined and simple lifestyle. The Minister is very strict with his routine and commonly scolds Party members, other generals, and his family for being what he would call undisciplined. Irbaykhan is well-known for his unquestionable loyalty; he would prefer death over treason. He is only seen out of uniform when fishing - Irbaykhan's favorite pastime.

===Minister of Technology Zhuldyz Hadii===
[[File:zhuldyz portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A picture done of Zhuldyz Hadii in her lab, created in 2462.]]
Born in '''2420''' to the Hadii dynasty, Zhuldyz enjoyed the many privileges granted to her family. She grew up fascinated by the new technologies brought by human contact; she would spend hours tinkering and dismantling electronics during her childhood. Later she was sent to study in prestigious Solarian universities, where she ventured into the field of robotics. Zhuldyz returned to Adhomai in 2449 and was granted a post in the Ministry of Technology.

Using the knowledge acquired off-world, Zhuldyz drew plans with the objective of modernizing the Republic through a technological revolution. The rapid industrialization aided by mechatronics would bring prosperity to the Tajara. While many of her initial projects were abruptly interrupted by Rhagrrhuzau's assassination, she remained in her position due to being a member of the Hadii dynasty. The unstable early years of Njadrasanukii’s presidency were unfavorable towards her dreams; stopping Nated’s coup and the Royalist uprising were top priorities at the time. However, as the frontlines stagnated and a semblance of normalcy returned to the People’s Republic, Zhuldyz had the chance to convince President Hadii of her plans. Knowing that losing the war would put an end to her pursuits, she turned her genius to the military field. Victory could be achieved through technological superiority. She was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Hadii Institute of Orbital Research|Hadii Institute of Orbital Research]], the expansion of the [[Tajara_Space_Capability#PRA_Army_Wing|Orbital Fleet]], and the creation of the Tesla Brigade. Zhuldyz was promoted to the office of the Minister of Technology shortly before the Armistice.

The Adhomian Cold War became the perfect testing ground for Zhuldyz's projects. She sees the period of peace as an opportunity to turn the People's Republic into a technological powerhouse. Zhuldyz believes that the future of Hadiism lies in the science and that the Republic must become advanced enough to subjugate its enemies. Minister Hadii is not interested in ethical or safe research; she is eager to pursue dangerous and questionable experiments. No price is too small to pay during the march of progress. President Hadii gave Zhuldyz near uncontested authority to lead the Ministry of Technology. She was the mind behind the creation of the first independent robotic factory on Adhomai.

Due to her upbringing, she is a brilliant scientist and a charming conversationalist, but at the same time, she frequently refuses to admit fault and is quick to scrutinize the work of others. Holding them to nearly impossibly high standards. Many scientists have been transferred to less desirable positions due to failing to meet Zhuldyz's demands. She is a notorious workaholic who only leaves her laboratory to attend political meetings.

===Secretary of the Navy Hura'zhi Mira'zkui===

Born in '''2422''' to an exiled line of minor nobility from the Zatushka Kingdom, Mira’zkui grew up in the chaos of the First Revolution as the armies of the Hadiist rebels marched across Adhomai. When the dust had settled, despite his personal wishes to enter the party itself, his family would convince him to uphold their old traditions and join the forming Republican Navy in '''2447'''. It was then that Mira’zkui met Dynhaas and joined the Oceanmasters Lounge.

During the chaos of Dynhaas’ defection in '''2450''', Mira’zkui narrowly avoided his own death. Informed early by a loyal lieutenant that his own crew was plotting to kill him, Mira’zkui fled in a lifeboat and watched as his fellow officers were thrown screaming from the decks of their own ships. A few days later, he was found on the shores of Ras’nrr. As the Republic fell into chaos, Mira’zkui returned to the Republican Navy as Secretary, entrusted by Malik Hadii to fight against the pirate flotillas of the ALA and the Royal Navy. However, Mira’zkui’s loyalty was not able to make up for his inexperience. While the last of the Liberation Army’s pirate vessels were sunk, he was unable to contend with the strength of the Royal Navy and unable to achieve his personal desire: Capturing or killing Dynhaas.

Post-War, Mira'zkui has largely become reclusive and withdrawn from the public eye. While he continues to try and develop the Republican navy, Mira’zkui is forced to contend with funding going towards the projects of the Orbital Navy and Grand People’s Army. With a relationship of mutual dislike between himself and Zhuldyz Hadii, many within the party believe that Mira’zkui will likely be replaced eventually. How he would react to being denied any chance for revenge against Dynhaas is something no one knows.

===Chief Naval Commander Samirro Qarrarhaz===

Born in Northern Ras’nrr in '''2407''', Samirro was the son of a loyal M'sai general in the Hadii Hegemony. Qarrarhaz's family raised and taught him to follow in his father’s footsteps. He would become an artillery officer in '''2428''', finding great success during combat against monarchist groups through using extensive shelling to force and flush out the enemy. By '''2431''' Qarrarhaz was moved into Southern Harr’masir to prepare for an invasion of the Kingdom of Kaltir. His artillery crews were among those who scoured the Kingdom following its surrender, shelling whatever villas, castles, and manors they had found. A staunch ally of Al’mari Hadii and his family, Qarrarhaz has always stood by the Hadii family and the republic they had later built.

While also providing training for future artillery commanders in the interwar period, Qarrarhaz became part of a committee formed by President Al’mari Hadii to plan and prepare a space fleet for the PRA. He, along with other committee members, traveled to the Coalition of Colonies' planets of Xanu Prime and Himeo to observe anti-piracy operations in order to better develop the PRA’s own future space warfare doctrine in '''2452'''. When the Orbital Fleet was completed by '''2457''', Qarrarhaz was appointed Chief Naval Commander by President Malik Hadii. Since then, he has won numerous victories against piracy, smugglers, and even bested a [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/?do=findComment&comment=114422 Sol cruiser].

Post-war, Qarrarhaz continues to lead his spaceships and Kosmostrelki in the defense of the PRA’s claimed space. Comfortable and experienced in his position, Qarrarhaz has begun to speak more on the future of the PRA’s ventures into space. Controversially, the Commander has stated that the PRA must eventually extend its hand to the numerous small colonies and off-worlder communities dotting the frontier around them. Arguing that Hadiism’s light must be spread beyond Tajara, it is his belief that the PRA must one day uplift these groups from their poverty and absorb them into the state.

===Minister of Education Kalim Khazdar===

Kalim Khazdar was born in '''2430''' to a family of Hharar foremen in the city of Tampiska. Deemed a bright child by his teachers, he was sent to study in Al'marii. Captivated by the tales of progress and prosperity brought by the interwar period, Kalim enrolled at the Al'marii College of Hadiist Sciences. He continued his studies intending to become a college teacher. During his time as a student, he became a good friend and protégé of the rector of the university, Mahir Hadii. His friendship with a member of the political dynasty opened many doors for him.

Kalim joined the Hadiist party during the Second Revolution. He later visited Tau Ceti to study the Adhomian community there; his experiences in District Six deeply affected his ideas. He saw all the social problems that those who lived under the megacorporation rule were subject to. Instead of losing faith in Hadiism, he started to believe that reforms were necessary to save the People's Republic; NanoTrasen should be a means to an end, not the end itself. Kalim returned to Adhomai in 2459 and became a college professor. Thanks to his connections, he soon got involved with the administration and politics of the university. His papers on the subject of Hadiist education were generally well-received by the academia.

With the Armistice of Shastar, Kalim Khazdar aligned himself to the Young Hadiist faction; his sympathy towards the movement was largely unknown to the Party. His ascension to the position of Minister of Education in 2463 was the result of a confidential deal between his mentor and President Hadii. Despite being considered a powerless and inexperienced politician by the other members of the Hadiist cabinet, Kalim is not to be underestimated. Cunning will be necessary to avoid the wrath of President Hadii and his lackeys. The path to a truly free People's Republic will be a long and difficult one.

Usually depicted as a wide-eyed idealist, Kalim Khazdar is anything but naive. The few years he spent navigating the political fields of the Al'mari College transformed him into a bright, yet deeply cunning individual. Kalim rarely loses hope; he prefers to spin every defeat into a minor setback to maintain morale. Many wonder how long it will take for Khazdar's optimism to be crushed by the People's Republic politics. Besides his academic and political work, Kalim has published Hadiist realist poems and short stories.

===Yasmin Piaf===

[[File:Yasmin portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A piece of a poster, promoting Yasmin Piaf's concert, 2463.]]
Yasmina Burokov, aka Yasmin Piaf, was born in 2434 in the suburbs of Nal'tor to a particularly well-off Njarir'Akhran family. Yasmin's father, Boris Burokov was a low-ranking State department official and devout loyalist of the People's Republic. She spent her childhood being educated in the best State-run schools their family could afford and enjoyed relative wealth and prosperity far from the poorer outskirts of the city.

Even from a young age, Yasmin was interested in music. She was part of her school's choir and participated in several nationwide contests for the honor of singing for President Rhagrrhuzau Hadii. The all-female 'Band of Njarir Maidens' consisting of Yasmin and her classmates eventually won and sang for the President and other members of his cabinet at the end of the annual military parade held in Nal'tor. Eventually, she graduated and went on to the Academy of Musical Arts with a full scholarship.

Talent scouts pruning the burgeoning academy's student pool for the next starlet eventually discovered Yasmin during rehearsals for the school's upcoming musical, and she signed a tentative deal with the small publication Vostak Recordings. Her first record, simply titled The Man in Rouge, was released with minimal fanfare. Given that she had sung a small solo during her performance for the President, some Tajara recalled her name.

Yet her voice, described by some as angelic and innocent, found purchase with an aging generation of Tajara who wished a brief return to peaceful normalcy following the First Revolution. Her dedication to the traditional pop standard and recognition for torch songs eventually elevated her to the status of a household name, with her recording label releasing hit after hit. As a result, Yasmin Piaf has become one of the most famous singers in the modern era - one who has fostered a close relationship with State officials. She is one of the few artists who are approved to be played on State radio KGTW-11.

===Andrey Borisov===

Out of all the Tajara that one could argue embody loyalty to the People’s Republic, perhaps none are more memorable than Andrey Alexander Borisov. In the average Republican household, his name is just as common as President Hadii’s, owing to the fact that he is the face of State propaganda and news network RAFИ. Born in 2416 to a line of M’sai warriors, Andrey was not even two years old before humanity stumbled across Adhomai and lit the flame that ignited the First Revolution.

Andrey’s father and uncle were killed in the uprising, leaving him, his mother, and his sister alone to fend for themselves. His mother curried favor with the local rebel leader when their town fell to the onslaught of war; she became his concubine and, later, his wife. The ever-advancing front saw Andrey moved from home to home, where the young M’sai would often spend time talking to soldiers recovering after harsh fighting. They nourished a sense of patriotism in him, and eventually, he came to see the First Revolution as necessary for the future of the Tajara.

The war ended in 2432, when he was merely 16 years old. As the newly founded People’s Republic began the arduous transition from a movement to a government, Andrey’s connections with the upper echelon of PRA politicians bore fruit. He was taken on as a member of an officer’s general staff, headquartered in Nal’Tor, where he served as little more than a glorified secretary. His position put him in contact with the elite, however, and many found him charming and personable. His silver tongue earned him the interest of Dmitrys Marakov, the owner of the only State-approved television station at that point in time.

His ascension from lowly secretary to the major news anchor for RAFИ was one that involved plenty of political maneuvering, money - and, rumored by some, violence - but ultimately Andrey had proved his loyalty to the political elite of the People's Republic and he was rewarded with the honor of being their mouthpiece. As a result, no Tajara on Adhomai can go very long without seeing his smiling face on their television set, spinning the next story or cover-up at the behest of the State.

==Democratic People's Republic==

''"We are soldiers. We are fighters. We are war. We have forsaken the corrupt and decaying corpse of the xeno-loving People's Republic. We have left our homes and our families, but our cause is righteous. The suns are with us! The vile usurper of my friend and comrade Al'mari will have justice delivered to him! We will spill the blood of our enemies until our struggles are seen and heard, and we WILL retake OUR Republic!"

''- Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan, the day after the coup de tat began, 2451.''

===Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan===
[[File:Nateed portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A surprise picture of Nated, taken in 2458.]]
Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan was born in '''2404''' to a M'sai family under the service of the Hadii Dynasty. The son of a royal guard, Nated interacted with many Njarir children in his early life. He grew to resent their narcissism but was prepared to inherit his duty nonetheless. When the First Revolution ignited in '''2421''', Halkiikijr fought for the loyalists alongside the Hadii family. Becoming a battle-brother of Rhagrrhuzau Hadii, or better known as Al'Mari Hadii, Nated stood with the Hadii’s decision to abandon their royal roots and join the revolutionaries. When the war ended Al'Mari was sworn into office, Halkiikijr was made a Commander in Chief of the Republican Army in return for his service.

Al'Mari supposedly made promises of swearing-in Halkiikijr as the next president of the People's Republic once the political climate on Adhomai had stabilized. The legitimacy of this claim is not known, but what is known is that Al'Mari was assassinated during a military parade in '''2451''' and Njadrasanukii Hadii, vice president of the People's Republic, swore himself in as the successor of the presidency. Outraged at the assassination and accusing Njadrasanukii of treachery against the People’s Republic, Nated organized a coup against Malik. Bringing together military commanders dissatisfied with the new Hadiist policies, Halkiikijr created the Adhomai Liberation Army to dethrone the new President. He then took the title of Supreme Commander.

As the putsch attempt was thwarted by the Hadiist forces, Nated fled to Shastar City. The coup then turned into a full-blown civil war between the Liberation Army and the People’s Republic. Without off-world help, Nated called to arms anyone willing to support his cause. His movement became a unifying front to all kinds of elements opposing President Hadii; from democratic reformers to extremists fighting to free Adhomai from alien influence. For a decade, Halkiikijr led the Liberation Army as an effective opposing force against the People’s Republic and the New Kingdom. He favored the extensive use of irregular warfare coupled with the deployment of the army to secure decisive battles. A cult of personality formed around Halkiikijr; extremists claimed that he was a prophet sent by the Gods. The Supreme Commander took advantage of this belief to cultivate undying loyalty and fanaticism among his followers.

Believing that the territories under his control were ready for a democracy modeled after the Al'mariist principles, Nated's undisputed rule came to an end with the creation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai. Halkiikijr retired from his position as Supreme Commander to prevent a coup against the newly elected president. His retirement did not last long; he returned to power because of the Amohdan crisis in '''2462'''. Nated was given back the control of the Liberation Army and its remaining juntas to retake the Island of Amohda. After this display of weakness, Halkiikijr is unsure if the DPRA is truly ready to rule Adhomai. For him, the ALA is now more essential than before. Nated also faces infighting between his two right-hand men; commander Kahan and Kyff.

While some may call Nated an opportunist or a loyal friend to Al'mari, what is certain is that he is determined. Both in his personal and political life, the Supreme Commander is known to never lose sight of his objectives. This might lead him to make promises that might be hard to fulfill, but Halkiikijr rarely goes back on his word. Because of his association with the most radical elements of the ALA and his tendency of using his position of authority to interfere in disputes, he is a firm believer that the end justifies the means. Because of the utility of his cult of personality, Nated avoids exposing much of his private life.

===Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad===
[[File:Kahan portrait.png|200px|thumb|left|Commander Hro'rammhad in his summer uniform, taken in 2461.]]
Kahan Hro'rammhad was born in '''2412''' to a Hharar family as their oldest children. A peasant from birth in the region of Southern Harr'masir, he was taught the traditional values of S'rendarr and Messa by his deeply religious parents. His childhood was cut short by the outbreak of the First Revolution; his family was expelled from their lands by the war. Thanks to its flat terrain, Southern Harr’masir saw the first deployment of armored vehicles in the conflict; trains, civilian cars, and trucks were outfitted for warfare by the rebels. Hro’rammhad joined the crew of an armored car as soon he turned 14 years old. Because of the high mortality among the revolutionaries, Kahan quickly found himself in the command of his own brigade. He became famous for his excellent use of the vehicles’ speed to encircle the enemy, and for his merciful nature. Monarchists soldiers were always given the chance of joining his side after capture. Hro’rammhad also forbade unnecessary executions and mistreatment of prisoners among his fighters.

Commander Kahan and his brigade were incorporated into the Hadiist faction shortly before the end of the First Revolution. As a member of the Republican Army, he was a major proponent of the transformation of the People’s Army into a motorized force. Tank brigades and motostrelki units were created under his supervision. Kahan funded the reconstruction of many temples destroyed during the revolution and frequently donated to charity through the interwar period. Hro’rammhad joined Nated’s coup due to his profound disagreement with Malik’s policies; he saw the oppression of the Zhan-Khazan as morally corrupt. Armored units that defected alongside him were organized into the Hro'rammhad Tank Corps under his command.

Hro'rammhad remained a merciful and pious Tajara through the Second Revolution. He rejected the notion of irregular warfare and continued to offer mercy to his enemies. As the leader of the main armored force in the Liberation Army, Kahan played an important role in decisive battles. This position allowed him to become a right-hand man for Nated. As part of his religiousness, Hro'rammhad considered the conflict to be a battle to protect the faith against the innate atheism of Hadiism. Religious imagery and motifs became common among his Tajara. The men under Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad are known to have the utmost respect for his bravery and mercy, most even going so far as to worship him as an embodiment of S'rendarr's justice. His success during the civil war earned him the nickname of “Undefeated Commander".

Despite the armistice, Commander Kahan remains as one of the second-in-command for Halkiikijr. He is an avid supporter of the transition to democracy, advocating for the dismantlement of the juntas. This position earned him many enemies among the more authoritarian elements within the Liberation Army. He is known to despise Commander Kyff Hotak for his tactics and personality. Both Tajara are currently engaged in an internal struggle to consolidate their influence over the Liberation Army.

Thanks to his religious upbringing, Commander Kahan is a forgiving and honest individual. He may be eager to let bygones be bygones, but he is not easily fooled by malicious intentions; anyone trying to take advantage of him will not have an easy time. Hro'rammhad enjoys spending his free time with his family. His thirty years-long marriage sired nine children - three of whom lost their lives in the Second Revolution.

===Commander Kyff Hotak===
[[File:hotak portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A picture of Commander Hotak along with his pet Farwa, taken with flash in 2458.]]
Born in the year '''2406''' to a family of Zhan-Khazan miners in the Trizar, Kyff Hotak was supposedly destined to slave away for his Njarir master as his ancestors did for many generations. To avoid this fate, Hotak fled his home as a young Tajara. He ran into the wilderness until he found a bandit camp. Because of his age, the brigands decided to adopt Kyff as the group’s mascot. The boy grew up witnessing all kinds of crime and violence; later taking part in the band’s activity when old enough. The bandits sided with the rebels during the First Revolution in search of plunder. But their greed was their undoing; the criminals were massacred by the revolutionaries after they were discovered stealing rations. Hotak survived by being the one to report the activities of his previous comrades. As the war dragged on, Kyff became more bold and cruel in his revolutionary activities. He frequently engaged in assassinations, massacres, and false flag operations to crush the monarchists’ morale. Hotak was soon feared by his comrades and hated by his enemies. To him, everything was permissible to achieve victory. Impressed by the victories of the Hadii faction, he joined them as part of the early Ha'narr Corps.

The interwar period was fairly unremarkable for Kyff Hotak; he was given a low-ranking office position in the intelligence department. While Hotak advocated for the recreation of a force similar to the Mountain Ghost Corps, his request was ignored by the Hadiist high command. Memories of his excess in the First Revolution stopped Hotak from receiving any further promotions. He grew discontent with the People’s Republic, believing that he deserved more for his service. Seeing Nated's coup as an opportunity to rise to power, Kyff defected to the Liberation Army without hesitation.

Hotak organized his own unit of commando early into the war; a battalion trained in stealth operations. As a major proponent of irregular warfare, he also helped organize guerilla cells and coordinate terrorist attacks. The success of these groups granted him enough influence to become one of Nated's right-hand men. However, Commander Kyff quickly returned to his old ways; he started to wage a campaign of unrestrained terror. The presence of his soldiers became a harbinger of indiscriminate persecution, murder, excessive property requisition, and collective punishment against any community suspected of working with the enemy. Despite the protest of the civilian population and Commander Kahan, Halkiikijr refused to replace Kyff. Taking advantage of his reputation, Hotak ordered his Tajara to spread stories of him being the earthly manifestation of Messa's wrath. This tactic proved to be effective both among his enemies and allies.

Commander Kyff Hotak remains in service even after the armistice. Many within the army and the civilian administration desire to see Hotak punished for his war crimes, but Supreme Commander Nated continues to protect him. Kyff is a hardline supporter of the more authoritarian elements in the government and desires a strong centralized leadership above all else. He and Commander Hro'rammhad are rivals; both Tajara commonly fight each other over which direction the Liberation Army should go. Hotak is always accompanied by his pet [[Adhomai#Farwa (Tree-Hopper)|Farwa]], Ghiyath.

What little is known from Kyff's personal life does not paint a picture much different from his time in the army. Cold, ambitious, and cruel are some of the terms commonly used to describe Hotak. For him, other people are merely stepping stones on his path to power. To maintain his mythical image as Messa's wrath, he avoids any kind of social interaction with anyone outside of his inner circle. Kyff is a famous animal lover - besides his Farwa, he is also the proud owner of several domesticated Ha'rrons.

===President Almrah Harrlala===
[[File:harrlala portrait.png|200px|thumb|left|A portrait of the president during one of her speeches, done in 2461.]]
President Almrah Harrlala was born in '''2426''' to a family of Hharar factory workers in Shastar City. While her childhood was relatively unaffected by the First Revolution, she enjoyed many of the benefits brought by the People’s Republic during the interwar period. Being the first member of her household to receive a proper education, she became involved in the Party’s politics at a considerable young age. She believed that a stable democracy built upon the will of the people was the best path for Adhomai. She was also wary of the presence of megacorporations on the planet, considering their activities as harmful to the development of the Tajara species She campaigned for more worker’s rights and laws restricting corporation’s activities in the PRA. Almrah held a position within the Party until the ascension of President Njadrasanukii Hadii; he ordered the arrest of Harrlala due to her views.

Harrlala was held prisoner in Shastar during the first moments of the Civil war, only the capture of the city by the Liberation Army saved her from being transferred to another location. Hoping to continue her career in politics, she aligned herself with the rebels. Even if the despotic and extremist tendencies of the ALA worried Almrah, she held to Nated's promise of saving the Republic. She was given the position of Provisional Minister of Civil Rights when the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai was established.

As the Minister of Civil Rights, Almrah worked to protect the regional identities present in the DPRA. Her campaign to end military rule over the country while still upholding the principles of Al’mariism made her a popular figure among the moderate sectors of the population. Seeking to expand her political influence, she founded the National Adhomai Worker's Party. She was one of the candidates in the presidential elections of '''2460'''; she won the office of president by a narrow margin. President Harrlala’s ascension to power displeased the authoritarian wing of the Liberation Army, the military then planned a coup to restore their own rule. The putsch was stopped by the intervention of Supreme Commander Nated, who later resigned from his position to grant more powers to the civilian administration.

Following the Armistice, President Almrah Harrlala continued with her internal policies while maintaining a strong stance against foreign dominance. Under her rule, schools to preserve local cultures and languages were established, Gakal’zaal was liberated from the Unathi rule, and the DPRA developed its nuclear program. Her status as one of the first female rulers in modern Tajaran history has inspired many women to engage in DPRA politics. However, her regime is plagued with deep issues. The ghost of separatism lingers over the nation after the Amohdan attempt to secede. Her ability to reconcile the various factions in the government was severely doubted when she failed to draw a plan to handle the rebellious island. Since the return of Halkiikijr to power, the authoritarian elements see this as a moment of weakness in the young Republic. President Harrlala must be ready to face further opposition if she wants to see her vision of Adhomai come to life.

Often described as patient and focused, President Almrah Harrlala is not easily dissuaded from pursuing her objectives. When faced with hardship, she prefers to withstand the storm while continuing to work on her projects. Alongside her hectic political career, Almrah leads a modest life without much excitement or luxuries. In her sparse free time, she enjoys playing Mahmrro and visiting Das'nrra's countryside.

===Ex-interim President Brajrr Alnadruskiy===

Born in '''2423''' in the city of Mztel’mir, Brajjr Alnadruskiy was the youngest child of a family of brewers. He later joined the Republican Army at 17 years old, slowly climbed the ranks through diligent service to the military. Brajrr attributed the prosperity of interwar Adhomai to the strong leadership of President Al’mari; he believed that the Republic always needed a strongman in control to succeed. He severely doubted Malik’s competence because of his decision to undo his brother’s reform.

Brajrr finally rose to prominence with Nated's coup. Upon hearing of the revolution, he rallied the Liberation Army’s aligned troops in Das’nrra to assault Shastar. Alnadruskiy's attack was successful and he was named the Rrhaza-Akhran of the city. Shastar became the headquarter of the ALA, giving Brajrr a reasonable amount of influence within the army high command. He was known for his rigorous discipline and unforgiving nature. Many war prisoners were forced into labor by his orders. Brajrr was given the position of Interim President when the Democratic People’s Republic was created.

Alnadruskiy ran for president in the 2460 elections, seeking to centralize the nation and maintain the Army’s sway over the government. He founded the Free Tajaran People’s Party, gathering the most authoritarian elements in the Republic. After Almrah Harrlala’s victory by a narrow margin, he took part in the putsch against the newly elected president. Despite the defeat of the mutiny, Brajrr managed to convince Halkiikijr that he was forced by the extremists to join them. He was released and allowed to return to politics.

Ex-interim President Brajjr Alnadruskiy now leads the opposition to Harrlala’s regime. He continues to support a centralized state under the leadership of Supreme Commander Nated. Even when the successes of the current administration displease him, their latest crisis has given him enough to challenge Almrah. The return of Halkiikijr to the control of the Army is also considered a victory for him and his followers. Alnadruskiy awaits for the right moment of weakness to retake control of the DPRA.

Brajrr Alnadruskiy is notorious for his unforgiving and rigid personality. He never forgets or forgives any wrongdoing, no matter how small. Brajrr has a large collection of grudges - he diligently waits for the opportunity to exact revenge upon those who wronged him. Alnadruskiy is also unreasonably stubborn; he rarely takes other points of view in his decisions. The Ex-interim President is a compulsive and skilled gambler; his favorite game is Suns and Moon.

===Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar===

The first and thus far only incident of weapons of mass destruction being employed on Adhomai happened in 2458, when the People’s Republic dropped a four-megaton nuclear bomb on the Liberation Army base in Quizosa. The death toll from the detonation was staggering, but the fallout from the bomb was carried on strong winds, leading to severe cases of radiation poisoning from the neighboring camps.

Tajara medical experience with radiation poisoning and the effects of nuclear bombs were practically non-existent. The only species in the galaxy that had the technology long before the Tajara were Xenos, and the Liberation Army did not have the luxury of free contact with extraplanetary forces. With the sick and dying mounting, a call for help was sent out to the surrounding territories. Many physicians and doctors made the long and difficult journey in the winter snows to help - at the forefront of them, Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar.

The effects of the bomb were catastrophic. Survivors were badly burned. Their fur fell out, never to grow back again - leaving them susceptible to Adhomai’s frigid temperatures. Their skin peeled off in sickly ribbons, hanging limply to the ground. Doctors were at a loss, with only a rudimentary understanding of what could have happened. Dr. Aleksandra took a sort of unofficial command of the medical effort, and coordinated efforts to assist the sick and dying.

Liberation-sympathetic Tajara, at her prodding, recovered as many documents as they could regarding the atom bomb from PRA-aligned holdings, downloading information from the extranet and thieving textbooks from high-security locations. Thanks to her ingenuity and leadership, the haphazard medical team of doctors saved a great many innocents from a slow, painful death - though they would have to live with the effects of the bomb for the rest of their lives. Dr. Aleksandra is widely known for her opposition to nuclear proliferation, due to her experiences, and has become the face of a growing anti-WMD movement across Ras’narr.

===Arzjun Haurjuhrl===

Rumors persist that Arzjun Haurjuhrl was sired out of wedlock, a result of an affair between a Zhan-Khazan mistress and a rebel leader. He was born in '''2427''' in the warmer regions near the city of Olska, and lived alone with his mother. He was scarcely a child when the war ended and the People’s Republic came to prominence. Both he and his mother suffered much in the way of discrimination - for being Zhan-Khazan as well as having a bastard child. This disconnect between what the People’s Republic promised and the way they were treated caused the young Arzjun to become disillusioned with the Republic.

He was further tested when his mother suddenly fell ill and died in the winter of 2445. With nothing left tying him down, abandoned as he had been by Adhomain society, he took what little funds they had been saving and paid a smuggler to carry him off-world. It took every penny but eventually, he found himself in Mendell City, carrying nothing but the clothes on his back. For a time, he lived on the streets, forced to beg to make ends meet. He soon found work at one of the shelters he had often stayed at. The community of Little Adhomai was more welcoming to him than the homeworld had been.

Deciding to pay back the kindness he received, he took part in many community outreach programs, including plays and dramas for the children of Little Adhomai. His passion for the arts as a medium of expression took root here, and his name rose to some prominence amongst the local Tajara population thanks to his charity work. He aspired to work on his own big picture and got his chance thanks to the collective donations of many Tajara. Wealthy Xenos also had an interest in seeing what the immigrant could do, though perhaps a few thought it would look good as a public relations move.

The script he wrote went through many revisions and sat for a good while before it was picked up by a studio. The community who had helped him before had done it once again; the surprise blockbuster When Summer Came to Nazira was one of the top ten highest-grossing films in Biesel history. Its anti-tyranny message was seen by some as an expression of the director’s own viewpoint on the People’s Republic. In some ways, they were correct - Arzjun is a quiet supporter of the DPRA, which has put him at odds with the Republican government. As a result, his film is banned from showing on Adhomai - though this has not stopped smuggled copies from being distributed amongst DPRA theaters.

==New Kingdom==

''"Loyal subjects, countrymen, brothers. It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that we must conscript from the provinces in order to maintain our fight in this war. However, you are not alone. Even as the new compulsory service legislature is passed, the aristocrats across the kingdom are likewise mobilized under a new service gentry system, so that all of the Kingdom is together in this struggle."''

''- King Vahzirathaamro Azunja, announcing the beginning of conscription and formalization of the service gentry in 2453.''

=== King Vahzirthaamro Azunja===

King Azunja was born in 2400 in the city of Kaltir to the noble Njarir’Akhran Azunja line. His father was Farkhanzirhal and his mother Dramahdarmah. Located in the far reaches of Kaltir, the Azunja family line was one of compassion and fair treatment, as only in unity and brotherhood could they hope to survive the harsh far reaches of Northern Adhomai. Their peasants were kept well and treated with dignity, and the nobles, while privileged, never indulged in cruelty. A noble paige since the age of 10, Vahzirthaamro excelled in reading and writing from an early age. He prepared to inherit the family throne as the sole son of his parents until the first civil war of Adhomai ignited in 2421.

When war broke out between the nobility and peasants, house Azunja was hesitant to pick sides, as they disagreed with the morals of both sides. Their distant position in the wild made them capable of ignoring the war until its end, as the Hadii family was placed at the head of Adhomai in 2432. Carrying the flags of the newly founded People's Republic of Adhomai, the Republic's army demanded the surrender of all nobility in Kaltir. The entire populace requested to be left in peace, as the peasantry and nobility there had never declared war on one another. Believing the peasants were utterly spineless and brainwashed, the People's Republic executed all current nobles ruthlessly, scattering the royalty of the region. Vahzirthaamro was placed in prison by his father's retinue of intellectuals, who declared he had to remain hidden amongst the lowest of the low if he wished to stay alive. From that moment on, Vahzirthaamro Azunja knew that peace was impossible so long as a compromise was not made, and a true constitutional monarchy was made the unanimous government on Adhomai.

Word passed amongst the Tajara at the work camps about the possibility that Vahzirthaamro still lived as many pre-war intellectuals gathered with him in private. They spun every possibility of a government, even discussing adopting human political systems as they gathered workers, fighters, poets, and philosophers to form an organized nation as they spread their ideas to the guards of the facility, a majority of which who were old peasants under the Azunja family who thought the entirety of the nobility had been executed. Delighted to see his return, they joined his side and swore allegiance to his family once more.

In 2449, in the middle of the night, Vahzirthaamro was released in secret along with the entirety of his retinue, as they quickly spread from town to town, asking for assistance from newly appointed officials and workers. Before long, the reminiscent families of the Kaltir region were happy to rejoin their flock. By 2450 his claim to rule had spread to all of Northern Harr'masir, and the New Kingdom of Adhomai officially seceded as an independent nation under the newly declared King Vahzirthaamro Azunja. He then led the Kingdom for the next decade, managing the balance between the different factions within the government and the ongoing war. Vahzirthaamro became a unifying figure for the population. After successfully securing Kaltir's ancient lands and negotiating the armistice that brought the end to the war, King Vahzirthaamro passed away in 2463. His niece, Shumaila Azunja, inherited his throne.

===Queen Shumaila Azunja===

[[File:Shumaila portrait.png|200px|thumb|right| A portrait done of Queen Shumaila Azunja, holding the ceremonial orr'bu s'rrendar, circa 2460.]]
Shumaila Azunja was born in 2431 in Northern Harr’smirr, as the daughter of one of the kingdom’s princes. She survived the Republican slaughter by being hidden away among the peasantry, raised in secret by individuals still loyal to the old ruling dynasty. From a young age, Shumaila began to participate in secretive royalist circles within Kaltir. Here, she began her service to the kingdom by helping distribute leaflets proclaiming the coming of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. When the uprising broke out in 2450, she joined the new Imperial Adhomian Army. Shumaila then rose through the officer ranks quickly, becoming a commander in the Jabrut Almumalik and establishing a name for herself on the front.

Many of those who served under Shumaila describe her as being a woman of unbreakable will, never faltering as casualties stacked or as barrages shattered the ground around her. Some even say she wouldn’t even blink at the sight of the PRA’s dreaded tanks rolling towards the lines. For her exploits in the war’s 2459 offensive and the defense of the Vlrralkhzazhul line, Shumaila came to be known as “The Storm of Harr’smir”, matching her iron will with a burning fury to destroy the kingdom’s enemies.

In 2460, after meeting with several prospective heirs, King Vahzirthaamro had chosen his niece Shumaila to serve as the Crown Heir. Although the majority supported this decision alongside most of Parliament and the nobility, a large fraction remained wary of the decision of a military leader over other options. However, this opposition has shrunk over the past few years. Shumaila remains strong on her position of expanding the military, but she has also spoken about increasing ties to the galaxy’s Megacorporations to modernize the New Kingdom. Nor has she made any comments regarding changing the democratic systems of Parliament and the Chamber. Coupled with her public appearances and active presence in the newspapers, many woes and worries of her ascension have been dissuaded.

Since entering the public eye in 2459, Shumaila enjoys much support from the women of Kaltir. Many look to her as an inspiration, buying “military” style jackets to emulate her look, given that Shumaila became one of the few Tajara women to lead a nation. However, this fame has also led to calls from the nobility and her family to choose a husband. Shumaila retains that her marriage comes after her coronation. She was finally crowned in 2463 after King Azunja passed away. Outside of continuing her uncle's legacy, her plans to the Kingdom are still unclear to the wide public

Often called headstrong, Queen Shumaila's personality is very different from her predecessor. She appears calm and resolute during her public apparitions, however, rumors claim that she has frequent bouts of rage while in private. During her free time, Shumaila enjoys collecting and riding cars, playing Traiaz, and hunting. She has shown little to no interest in arranging a marriage to secure a direct heir.

[[File:Marshal portrait.png|200px|thumb|left| A portrait of Field-Marshal Zarkradar'Akhan, circa 2420.]]
===Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan===

Rrhazhal was born in '2380 to the noble Njarir’Akhran Zarkradar'Akhan line, however, he was a legitimized bastard of a Zhan-Kazan maid. As the youngest of his brothers, Rrhazhal was sent into the service of the Azunja family as King Farkhanzirhal Azunja's servant at the age of 10. King Azunja noticed the young child had a talent for philosophy and strategy. The two had many intellectual discussions together as Rrhazhal quickly became a trusted advisor of King Farkhanzirhal by the time he was 20. At this time, King Azunja decided he trusted Rrhazhal with protecting the life of the newly born Vahzirthaamro. On the eve of the First Civil War, Rrhazhal was tasked with training the peasantry of Kaltir in order to defend their fiefdom and nobility against attackers. When Kaltir was annexed by the People's Republic of Adhomai in 2432, Farkhanzirhal frenziedly ordered Rrhazhal to hide Vahzirthaamro before People's Republic soldiers stormed the palace, killing almost everyone. From then on Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan personally accompanied Vahzirthaamro Azunja as his protector and chief advisor.

In 2450, once the New Kingdom had officially declared independence from the People's Republic of Adhomai, Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan was promoted to the rank of Field-Marshal personally by King Azunja, and today oversees all military operations inside of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Respected for his tactical skill but notorious for his radical belief that a compromise is not possible and a complete return to the old nobility is Adhomai's only option for peace, Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan is one of the oldest fighting nobles left on Adhomai.

Rrhazhal is old-fashioned, methodic, and extremely loyal. Accustomed to the strict military life, the Marshal rarely deviates from his routine. Zarkradar'Akhan is notorious for his lack of sense of humor. Rrhazhal's sharp mind has begun to show the signs of his age after the death of King Azunja; the marshal sometimes forgets details and has trouble remembering his previous orders. In his sparse free time, Rrhazhal enjoys practicing wood carving.

===Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas===
[[File:dynhaas portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A commissioned portrait of Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas from his book cover, done in 2463.]]
Hailing from a royal cadet line and born in 2402, Dynhaas followed his father and brothers to join the Das’nrra Empire’s navy at a young age. When the First Revolution came, naval losses coupled with the rebel conquest of Das’nnra resulted in Dynhaas, the last man left of his line, surrendering and being imprisoned. With the war’s end in 2432, Dynhaas was offered a pardon by the Party in exchange for developing the Republican Navy. He would come to accept this over the alternative of death.

Accepting his defeat and believing that the age of nobility came to an end, Dynhaas came to view the Republican Navy as his new purpose in life. He worked to advance it alongside other pardoned nobles and founded the Oceanmasters Lounge, a private club within the naval officer corps. This path in life would change with the announcement of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Believing that a way to restore the old glory days of kingdoms laid with the NKA, Dynhaas began to plan a revolt. Partnering with other sympathetic admirals, he had the Republican Navy’s Grand Admiral and several other loyalists killed on a fateful night at the Shastar Naval Base before fleeing eastwards in 2450. In the same year that the New Kingdom was declared, Dynhaas delivered them the strongest naval force Adhomai had ever seen. King Azunja had declared him the Kingdom’s Grand Admiral shortly after meeting with Dynhaas in Miran’mir.

With the Republican Navy's command almost crippled and the ALA unable to compete with their dominance of the sea, Dynhaas used his fleets during the war to support and supply the Royal Army while helping smash the enemies of the New Kingdom. The artillery barrages of his ships were important in coastal battles during the NKA's offensives while their supremacy saved the Royal Marines from certain destruction following the failed Ras'nrr expedition. The prestige of his position made Dynhaas an instant celebrity in the NKA as well. Many propaganda reels and photos showed him as a majestic lord of the sea, something he capitalized on heavily to present himself as the very pinnacle of noble glory. Always well-groomed, well-dressed, and impeccable at talking despite whatever circumstances he was in, Dynhaas never passed the opportunity to host an interview. Most notable was Dynhaas' interview on his opinions of xenos of the S'rand’marr coalition, conducted on his capital vessel while it sieged Nal'tor in the final stages of the war. His statements on Unathi and Skrell were less than positive. After the expulsion of the People's Republic from Harr'masir in 2461, Admiral Mahtra infamously ordered the Royal Navy to engage in an unrestricted bombardment campaign of the eastern Hadiist coast. Cities and villages were targets of frequent naval artillery strikes; the battleships shelled military and civilian targets indiscriminately. The Navy infamously used incendiary shells during these attacks, causing entire neighborhoods to be engulfed in firestorms.

Post-war, Dynhaas went on several speaking tours in the first year of the armistice. Traveling from city to city, his public events were used to promote his upcoming biography and drew crowds in the tens of thousands. Politically, he maintains that the future of the NKA always lies within the navy, and that the industry of the New Kingdom must always retain a heavy focus on their shipyards. Dynhaas has also been vocal in his beliefs of a stronger monarch, often using the emergency powers King Azunja had as an example of the strong benefits that could come with such. He is yet to comment at all on his supposed rival, Mira'zkui, at all.

Mahtra is an infamous glory hound; his boisterous and prideful personality is often the source of much interpersonal conflict. Dynhaas can not go long without telling war stories or exalting his actions during the previous conflict. Among the Royalists circles, the Grand Admiral is either loved or hated. Mahtra is never seen out of his fancy dress uniform adorned by a large roll of medals.

===Grand Duke Akym Yudenikh===

Born in the Das'nrra Empire to a noble family in 2412, Akym Yudenikh survived the First Revolution by escaping to Northern Harr'masir and hiding his identity. After the Hadiist occupation of the Kingdom of Kaltir, Yudenikh joined the People's Republic bureaucracy; he became responsible for the administration of the local rail system. Akym was infamous for his corruption; he frequently sold permits, disregarded contraband reports, and accepted bribes.

Because of his background, Akym was contacted by the underground royalist movement. He quickly became one of the main supporters of the group; he used his position within the Hadiist government to secure supplies and funding for the incoming uprising. Weapons, machinery, and ammunition were diverted to the Royalist cells. Akym was awarded the title of baron, a seat in the parliament, and some land confiscated from the People's Republic when Vahzirthaamro returned. However, his ambitions did not stop there. Using the money made from his time as a Republican bureaucracy, alongside whatever profit he could extract from his new holdings, Yudenikh continued to acquire more estate. Newly liberated farms were sold to him at a meager price thanks to his connections within the government. In a question of years, he became a Grand Duke and one of the major landowners of the New Kingdom. Akym controversially used prisoners of war as workers in his plantations during the Second Revolution as part of deals with the military.

Following the Armistice, Akym Yudenikh now leads the Royalist Party; his main mission is to maintain the status quo. The continuation of the constitutional monarchy and the privileges of the nobility align perfectly with his interests. He is one of the major supporters of further deals with megacorporations. Grand Duke Akym is not afraid to use his position to protect his interest in the parliament. Under his vision, prosperity for the New Kingdom means more power and wealth to its elite.

While Akym might appear friendly and easygoing at the first sight, this facade hides treacherous tendencies. The Grand Duke only keeps a secret if it benefits him directly; anything else is fair game in the social game of the New Kingdom's nobility. Thanks to this behavior, Yudenikh has his clique of noble friends who frequently support each other in political and personal affairs. As a lover of the finer things in life, the Grand Duke likes to hold feasts, bet on Zhsram races, and collect bottles of Nm'shaan Liquor.

===Prince Serhiy Oliinyk===

Born as the third son to a family of Njarir'Akhran in 2434, Serhiy Oliinyk's life was profoundly affected by events over which he had no control. Raised in a household of avid royalists supporters, Serhiy was exposed to his parents' ideology since his youth. However, the boy had his reservations in regards to the possible return of the monarchy; he doubted that they could truly avoid the mistakes of the past. For his support during the uprising in Northern Harr'masir, the patriarchy of the Oliinyk family was given a seat in the parliament, a title of nobility, and a modest tract of land. Serhiy mistakenly believed that he could escape his bloodline's obligation thanks to his status as the third child. He already had a passion in his life: playing the P'rrama.

The war was cruel to the Oliinyk. Serhiy's brothers were killed while serving the army. This put him in an uneasy position as the heir of a parliamentary seat. The growing debt forced his father to sell whatever land they had left; the Oliinyk had officially joined the ranks of landless nobility. The final blow came in 2459 with the bombing of the Parliament; Serhiy inherited his progenitor's seat after his demise in the attack. The young musician was thrown into the midst of the New Kingdom's politics. Influenced by his social status and beliefs, he aligned himself to the Commoners Party.

If he is truly unable to escape his fate, Prince Serhiy decided to make the best out of it. Because of his age and a family full of martyrs, Serhiy became the Commoners Party's main spokesperson. Convincing the Queen to support the Populists will not be easy; the Conservatives and Absolutists are far more powerful and influential. A powerful strategy is necessary to guarantee the Commoners Party triumph in the parliament. Serhiy plans to retire from politics after the hereditary parliamentary positions are abolished and the Kingdom is fairer to its population. He hopes to return to his greatest passion: music.

Prince Oliinyk is a reserved person who prefers the company of his few trusted friends to the parties and neverending social schemes of the New Kingdom. Serhiy tries his hardest to separate his role in the parliament from his private life; he relies mostly on political alliances instead of his friendships to gather support. Besides his passion for music, Oliinyk enjoys frequenting Kaltir's theaters.

===Count Tscherim Sanguszkho===

Hailing from a cadet house of the Rrhakaslov dynasty, Tscherim Sanguszkho was born in 2433 shortly after his family escaped to Kaltir to avoid the First Revolution's massacres. He was raised on a small farm frequented by disposed nobles and royalist sympathizers. Sheltered from the rest of Adhomai, he grew only knowing the world only through the nostalgic tales of pre-contact Njarir'Akhran, The Sanguszkho family was quick to offer their support to King Azunja when he returned; the Tscherim's father was given a seat in the parliament. Tscherim became a low-ranking officer in the army.

Tscherim Sanguszkho's military career came to an end in 2460 when he was gravely wounded in combat. Taking advantage of his pension and family's position, Tscherim spent the next years in gentlemen's clubs. In these places, he entered into contact with radical Absolute Royalists and became deeply interested in [[Tajaran Minor Religions#Ancient Tajara Theory|esoteric beliefs]]. Tscherim founded his organization in 2462: the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity. Drawing inspiration from the stories of an idealized pre-First Contact society, the ideology known as Revival Royalism was born from the Fraternity's meetings. Posing as a regular club, Tscherim was able to introduce other nobles to his ideals. Knowing that the task of enforcing the old order was not an easy one, Sanguszkho chose a common enemy to unite the kingdom against: the Tajara of mixed heritage.

Tscherim's plan came to fruition when his father died in a car accident in 2463; he inherited a landed title, a state, and a seat in the Parliament. Shortly after, the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity opened its membership to the public and made its intentions clear. Thanks to a deal with the Officers and Royal parties, the Fraternity became the fourth faction in the Parliament. Despite being the leader of the smallest Party, Count Tscherim has already begun to plot to slowly introduce his ideology into the New Kingdom.

Tscherim is commonly described as eccentric, volatile, and intelligent. The Count is prone to descend into long, grandstanding rants - for every subject, he has a strong opinion that is bound to divide the room he is in. Sanguszkho's demagogic tendencies have earned him a fair share of allies and enemies. Aside from his interest in esoteric ideas, Tscherim is a heavy drinker who frequently visits all kinds of pubs.

===Ser Mrakhanjurl Ii'rka===

Mrakhanjurl was born in 2422 in a Zhan-Khazan family in a small village outside Olska. He received little education nor traveled far outside his village. As soon as he came of age at 16 he joined the rest of the village mining bauxite ore to be shipped to Olska to make aluminum. He eventually lost both parents to lung cancer from the mine's poor ventilation before he was 23. In 2452, when he was 29, he traveled with a dozen other Zhan-Khazan miners several miles to Olska to join a protest against the new legislation of President Hadii that was meant to crack down 'subversive elements' that many felt were unfair to Zhan-Khazan. The army was called in and brutally repressed the demonstration, which saw Mrakhanjurl narrowly escape with his life. He returned to his village to find that it had been torched by the republican army for housing subversive agitators.

Mrakhanjurl mourned the loss of his village and was picked up by rebel militia, who revealed that they had managed to provide early warning to the village and evacuate over a dozen people, but the army had managed to find and kill all but a handful of survivors. In gratitude for the rebels dying for his village, and to avenge the deaths, Mrakhanjurl joined the armed resistance that eventually joined itself under the New Kingdom of Adhomai. In a very short few years became a remarkable marksman, gaining the most recorded kills of any Tajara sniper. Current New Kingdom estimates put Mrakhanjurl's kill count at 285, 32 of those enemy PRA snipers.

Mrakhanjurl also managed to evacuate countless civilians from Republic territory to northern New Kingdom holdings. During the famous ''Rout of the 2nd Battalion'', in which New Kingdom defenders unsuccessfully attempted to prevent Republican forces from capturing Baltor, Mrakhanjurl assumed command of the 4th Company after both its leading officers had been killed by sniper fire. Despite a serious gunshot wound to the leg Mrakhanjurl began shouting orders and rallied the shattered defenders, who were the last line of defense between the advancing Republic forces and thousands of refugees attempting to flee the city. The ''Rally of the 4th Company'' on 2456 successfully managed to delay advancing Republic troops long enough for thousands of more refugees to escape into New Kingdom territory who would otherwise face atrocity.

For his bravery and growing fame (which was now considered too important to risk in the war effort), Mrakhanjurl was given the Order of the Victorious Sun, the highest honor in the New Kingdom, as well as being the first Zhan-Khazan in history to be given the noble rank of Ser. He remains a hero to the Zhan-Khazan and the New Kingdom.

===King of the Mountains Rustam Harmaliik===
[[File:harmaliik portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the king in his riding regalia, done in 2454.]]
Rustam Harmaliik was born in 2427 as the son of a deposed Njarir'Akhran noble family. He spent most of his youth in the rural region of Harr'masir, where he had contact with some groups of Rhazar'Hrujmagh that inhabited the region. As an adult, he found employment in law enforcement and was sent by the People’s Republic to support the efforts to settle the rock nomads of the Harr’masir region in 2448 as a Republican official.

While working alongside the authorities to make sure that the nomadic Zhan would accept and adopt a sedentary lifestyle, Rustam grew more interested in their culture and became skeptical of the Hadii’s regime and how they were treating the Rock Nomads. Unrest among the Rhazar'Hrujmagh soon followed, and Rustam would try to offer his support in any way possible, such as sabotaging equipment shipment or relaying misleading intelligence. The government soon realized his treason, forcing Rustam to abandon his post and escape into the wilderness.

Rustam found shelter among a caravan of the Rhazar'Hrujmagh, and soon adopted their way of life. Unrest and resistance continued among the rock nomads, and Harmaliik joined their struggle against the People’s Republic. With the New Kingdom’s rebellion, the control of the region waned and the Republican efforts shifted to other problems, which allowed the nomad resistance to blossom into guerrilla warfare. Rustam climbed the ranks of his caravan’s forces, winning prestige and favor by leading them against the Republican forces.

The second revolution happened, and the Rhazar'Hrujmagh resistance continued. Rustam assumed the leadership of his adopted caravan and aimed to acquire more support among the other Rock Nomads. Through the years of the conflict, he gathered more men and wagons under his command, through diplomacy or conquest, but limiting himself to defensive tactics, ambushes, and raids. The political stance of Harmaliik has always been one of neutrality in the conflict, never compromising fully with the Adhomai Liberation army, due to his Njarir’Akhran origins and monarchist sentiments, and never declaring any support to the New Kingdom, in fear of losing the trust of his fellow nomads,

Due to a republican offensive against the nomadic guerrillas in 2461, Rustam decided to declare himself the Almalik’Rhazar, a word roughly translated as "leader of the mountains", following an ancient nomadic tradition that allows the largely independent Rock Nomad caravans to elect a ruler among themselves. This decision alienated him from his ALA allies and the other nomads, forcing him to side with the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Harmaliik and his caravans have joined the kingdom war effort. He and his people were later granted the southeast territories of the New Kingdom for their support during the conflict.

===Brother Mikhail Ordau===
Little is known about Mikhail Oradu’s parentage. He was given to the Parivara at a very young age, left on the doorstep of Miran'mir's abbey. Thus the Family took him in as they do many small children, teaching him and educating him about S’rendarr and Messa. Mikhail was an accomplished writer for his age, but a speech impediment left him at a disadvantage when it came to oral presentations. The boy was known to be bookish, and spent much of his free time in the abbey’s library as well as its restricted section, thanks to his close friendship with the abbot.

He had an unusual interest in the sciences for a clergyman. As the Second Revolution loomed ahead, and whispers of splitting from the Republic crept into the local city, he busied himself with reading and tending to the monastery’s garden. Eventually, Miran’mir and all of northern Harr’masir split from the Republic to form the New Kingdom. With the war came plenty of hardship, and the Priests of S’rendarr did their best to help alleviate the tragedy amongst the peasants.

With little farmable land and a severe manpower disadvantage, the New Kingdom struggled to provide for its people. Starvation was a very real threat, and the abbey’s garden was not sufficient. A conflicted Mikhail turned once again to the abbey’s library and science for an answer; and, as though a miracle from the Suns themselves, one came. He discovered an ancient text detailing breeding methods for slaves, from long before the First Revolution. Suggestions on how to pass on desirable traits and mannerisms; to breed subservience. Controversial, but an unknowing descriptor of genetics and hereditary traits.

It was armed with this knowledge that Mikhail set about breeding new plants. Earthen roots, dirt berries, and more were cultivated for generations by Mikhail, aiming to pass on traits like hardiness and vitality. The plants became much more accustomed to growing in harsh conditions thanks to his work, and as the New Kingdom pushed back the Republicans and gained more territory, these hardier plants were easier to grow in the shell-shocked muddy battlefields. The threat of starvation became less and less pressing as more and more farms could deal with the way the war affected the terrain. For his efforts, Brother Mikhail was afforded a personal audience with the King.

===Oleg Al'Mor===
Born Oleg Murkov Al-Al’Mori in 2400, Oleg was a teenager when humanity stumbled upon the Tajara. His simple life of working and indentured servitude was suddenly upended with the influx of new ideals; he and his family, along with a contingent of other refugees of war avoided the conflicts erupting across the planet by staying in the mountains of Northern Harr’masir. To pass the time and keep themselves entertained, the telling of fireside epics became common. Oleg was noted to be imaginative with his tales even then, regaling other Tajara with stories of war and love.

Eventually, however, the nomadic hunter-gatherer life in the mountains could no longer support their numbers, and Oleg’s group descended from their hiding place. By this point, rebel armies had mostly taken hold of Kal’tir and the surrounding areas, giving Oleg relative freedom. When the war finally came to an end in 2432, Oleg was well known as a traveling bard and performer who earned his living using his creative skills entertaining war-weary soldiers and newly freed slaves. The stability that came with the formation of the People’s Republic afforded Oleg the opportunity to settle down in Kal’tir once again, where he took an interest in the local theater scene.

His first play, The Jester’s End, pioneered the form of black comedy and was a throwback to the days of servitude. Over the course of his career in Kal’tir, Oleg penned many more plays under his pseudonym Oleg Al’Mor, out of fear of inviting reprisals from the People’s Republic. Oleg’s plays were often scandalous or controversial for challenging the traditional morality held by Tajara. However, as time went on, his works became formulaic and much less shocking, and thus by extension more palatable to the average Tajara. Black comedy found a good home amongst the countless war veterans of the First Revolution.

Oleg considered himself an intellectual, and when the New Kingdom of Adhomai split from the People’s Republic he was an outspoken supporter. He and his family had experienced the benefits of the old ways, and with his considerable wealth from play royalties, he financed the New Kingdom with donations. Sadly, Oleg Al’Mor passed away in December of 2460 after completing his final work. The play, titled A Maiden’s Voyage, was particularly well-received, with even the King himself getting a private showing. Many of his works are still performed in theaters all over the New Kingdom’s territory.

==Others==

===Father Valyan K'rrirran===

''"From the stars, he saw Adhomai's cities and mountains become nothing more than specks. When he beheld the planet from far away, he realized that it was a small dot within this vast new galaxy. It was then he saw how truly special our homeland and our people are."''

''-Father Valyan K'rrirran, written as the ending to the prologue in his novel "An Introduction to The Twin Suns", 2430.''

Born in 2406 to a family of merchants in Dras’nrra, Valyan chose to join the faith at a young age, and became a fully-fledged Priest of S'rendarr in the midst of the First Revolution. It was during this time that Valyan had also become one of the first few Tajara to leave Adhomai. Settling on Xanu Prime in 2426 and remaining there until the war’s end in 2431, Valyan provided much of the first glimpses into the theology of the Tajara during this time. He, later on, returned home after publishing his novel written in Tau Ceti Basic on the history of the S’rendarr and Messa. Following the Second Revolution, he had replaced Walid Al’qat as The Father of the Parivara after Al’qat died of heart failure. Since gaining his position in 2462 the new Father has already demonstrated to Adhomai that he is able to rise to the task of leading the Parivara. Alongside his archivers, he had revealed misinterpretations in the vows of the Suns Sisters and amended the Vow of Silence to the original Vow of Whispers.

The Father has kept this momentum of progress going forward. In the same year, he began to assist with several archeological digs across Adhomai to gather more information on not just the history of the Suns faith, but also of the Tajara people. Much of this collection is digitalized and shared through a newly developed site (Simply dubbed “Parivara and Tajara History.pra”.) made by an influx of well-educated acolytes. Now, any curious Tajara or alien can find a trove of information on the Parivara and new details on the species’ history. This mix of preserving old traditions alongside progressing aspects of the church has made Valyan popular among the younger generations of Tajara, kindling their interest in the faith.

However, Valyan is not free of controversy. Some conspiracy theorists believe that he could have had a hand in the death of the previous Father, citing the lack of provided medical care and the quick selection of Valyan as the new Father. Others point to his connection to the revitalized Kin of S’rendarr and believe him to be funding the Kin, supplying them with off-world equipment and arms to continue their war against whoever is deemed the faith’s enemy. Nonetheless, these are regarded as little more than baseless rumors by much of the population.

===Rikdar Al'Manq===

Rikdar was born on '''2429''' the noble Njarir’Akhran Bayan line in Nal'Tor, with Bayan being his birth name. However, his parents were disappeared by Republic secret police in one of the frequent purges of Njarir’Akhran and he was put into state-run foster care. He has raised in the ''House Of Young Patriots'' orphanage until he was adopted at 14 to Hharar parents and took their last name of Al'Manq. As he was going to school his parents and teachers immediately took notice of his artistic abilities and interest in painting, which the orphanage had initially tried to discourage. In 2446, when he was 18, Rikdar won an art contest where he submitted a portrait of his Environmental Geology teacher and gained a prestigious scholarship in the Nal'Tor University of The Arts, a state-funded institution.

Rikdar attended the university for several years, though his studies were sometimes interrupted or delayed by the periodic waves of anti-Njarir’Akhran demonstrations and violence that gripped the campus. However, he quickly became a prodigy amongst his peers. Al'Manq's style of oil painting and doing portraits became a sensation in the capital, with the mayor and several city officials requesting their portraits done. Rikdar graduated from university at 20 years old in '''2450''' with a Bachelor of Arts. Having already received several high-profile commissions, including the then-President Al'Mari Hadii, whose portrait was done a week before his death. Al'Manq managed to survive the resulting chaos across Adhomai following the assassination of Al'Mari Hadii by the nature of his celebrity status, but his popularity remains confined within the major cities.

At only 29 years old in '''2458''' the ''Al'Manq Style'' has already become a famous style of painting across Adhomai. The Al'Manq Style is noted for its use of rich oil-based paint that focuses on portraits and profiles. The colors are often bold or show rich texture and color. The hands of Tajara are painted without being anatomically correct. Critics blast Al'Manq's apparent inability to draw hands correctly but Rikdar has stated that it's his personal style. This has influenced other artists, and many attempting to pay homage to Al'Manq draw hands as stubby. Rikdar remains extremely popular on Adhomai. The People's Republic remains a quiet supporter of his work, and state officials pay him handsome commissions for their portraits to be done, though they frown on him taking commissions from New Kingdom officials as well. The Adhomai Liberation Army has painted Rikdar as just another nobleman and several members of the Liberation Army have given open contempt for his work.

===Bloodstorm===

Bloodstorm is a famous and infamous DPRA Heavy Metal Band that has surged in popularity with the younger “denier” generation. Those in this generation are categorized not only by refusing the current status quo, but also have a general disdain towards a complete return to Tajara roots or liberalization through corporations. Fans of this band are usually punks, anarchists,s and jaywalkers. While the band mostly operated inside the DPRA, during one of their galactic tours their citizenships were revoked, making it impossible for them to return to Adhomai. They currently preside in Mendell City.

====Vargir Stenovich “Godslayer”====

The lead guitarist of the group, Vargir Stenovich is known as the spokesperson of the band and the most controversial figures. Admitting to being a Raskara cultist in public and calling out the Parivara on their “bedding with the government”. Vargir has been involved in numerous scandals including protesting military parades, playing one of his songs next to a work camp without permission, and lastly ingesting drugs on live television and proceeding to slander the ALA for bombing the NKA parliament.
[[File:Bloodstorm.png|200px|thumb|right|Photo of Al-Atil at the Mztel'Mir concert, "War Is Fuck, Let's Do It", circa 2459.]]

====Janos Al-Lung “Drowner”====

Janos is the bassist of Bloodstorm and the only band member without a criminal record. He has frequently butted heads with Stenovich over the political extremities the band goes through to discredit not only PRA and NKA but also DPRA. Janos Al-Lung is currently the only member of Bloodstorm that is trying to re-apply for a DPRA citizenship.

====Al-Atil Csihar “Nightmaster”====

The vocalist, Al-Atil, is known for his “mrowl”, a high, long, yelp that is recorded as the loudest sound produced by a Tajara. He loves to interact with the public and often stays behind on the podium to sign autographs and fans using black or red spray paint.

====Cecil Kernov “Bloodletter”====

Cecil is the Drummer and has actually served time, unlike the other band members. Kernov has his nickname for a reason as he’s been charged with armed assault during his youth, which is how he met with Vargir. Later in life, he was arrested again, after he had brutally assaulted a fan who had climbed on stage with a drum, getting it stuck on said Tajara’s head and pushing him off the stage with a dropkick. This led to multiple fractures and long-term disabilities for the fan.

====The Mist “Mih”====

A yet unknown band member by the public, “Mih” remains anonymous always wearing a mask in public and never speaking. He plays the P'rrama, an old Tajara string instrument, with 8 strings mirrored in a long horn-like pipe that extends to the ground which emits a loud, brass twanging noise described as an over-amped guitar. "Mih" has been under investigation multiple times, however, the enigmatic member always manages to avoid the authorities.

'''Most Notable Albums Include:'''

''The Freezing Blizzard'' - An early, human metal-inspired album. "The Mih" was not a member at this time and the music avoids political messaging, mostly focused on heavy guitar riffs.

''War Is Fuck, Let's Do It'' - The "central" album of the band that rocketed them to popularity. Its anti-war messages resonated with a lot of the younger audiences who were tired of the usual acoustic and traditional sorrowful performances, preferring this new aggressive style.

''If Messa Was Here She'd Be a Whore'' - A distinctly anti-Parivara album, attacking their behavior towards women and female priests. The Mih joins the band around this time, employing the now-iconic P'rrama. While initially released to negative reviews, it slowly became a fan favorite.

''We Live in a Society'' - A very hateful album, attacking every faction on Adhomai, including the human Sol and Nanotrasen and their presence there.

''Shell In, Spine Out'' - Another anti-war album, the band's first attempt to create a narrative album describing the life of a dying soldier. Received both negatively and positively by the fans.

''S'rrendar Loves You Except He Doesn't'' - The critique of Parivara escalates in this album, would remain unnotable if it wasn't for the recording of Cecil attacking a fan with the drum.

''If You're Old You Should Die'' - A call to arms, actively encouraging the younger generations to overthrow the current system and drag all the politicians down. For many, this was a return to form, but also most likely the album that led to Bloodstorm's exile from the DPRA.

=Overview=

Hro'zamal is the second planet in the Nrrahrahul system. Formerly named Nrrahrahul Two, it was given the name Hro'zamal after the establishment of a permanent civilian colony on the planet's surface in 2459. The planet is roughly the size of Earth. About 77% of the planet is covered in oceans. The remaining landmass is dominated by lush jungles except for the poles that possess a subtropical climate.
Hro’zamal possesses little mineral richness, but it has a diverse ecosystem. Agriculture and plantations have become the staple exports of the colony. Most of Hro’zamal remains unexplored, with few outposts and settlements outside of the central cities scattered across the jungle. Scientists of the People’s Republic have taken a vast interest in the flora and fauna, being so different from their native Adhomai. Expeditionary groups frequently venture out into the jungle, although between the inhospitable jungle and hostile forces, such an expedition is always a risk.

=History=

The system of Nrrahrahul is home to the first advanced outpost established by the [[PRA Orbital Fleet Structure|Orbital Fleet]]; this base was initially used to combat piracy and smuggling, serving as a refueling checkpoint for the ships. As the only other planet in the system capable of sustaining life, it was quickly marked for colonization. Nrrahrahul Two was granted the official status of colony in 2459 following the application of 15,000 civilian inhabitants. Under the new colony status, it was renamed Hro'zamal by the Ministry of Colonial Affairs. Arrleef Pondiskarr, a njarir, was appointed as the colonial governor. The planet's capital and first settlement, Muldhir, was founded in 2460, on the subtropical northern pole. While survivable, during warmer seasons heat regulation is required for Tajara survival and so the colony was outfitted with an outdated HVAC system.

The civil war forced the [[People's Republic of Adhomai]] to weaken their colonization efforts, leading to the recall of soldiers, equipment, and ships. As the Republican control over the planet weakened, dissent spread among the population. The Solarian embargo was particularly damaging to the colony; the parts required to repair the precarious HVAC systems were non-manufacturable on the planet and rare in the system. Many believed that the republic had abandoned them and begun to consider a life without the PRA. With growing opposition, general unease, and reports of ALA agents making their move within the colony, martial law was declared. The remaining colonial guard received emergency powers, giving them essentially unlimited control, much to the dismay and dislike of the local population who were struggling to survive.

This would boil over as the final stages of the Adhomai war approached, with an insurrection aimed at overtaking the planet and leading it to independence. Led by the captain of the Colonial Guard, Fakhri Oan, the rebels besieged the colonial capital, Muldhir. The siege was unsuccessful as the Orbital Fleet returned to restore order and the rebels were forced to flee into the jungle. These forces lead a guerrilla war against the Grand People's Army and the Colonial Administration.

After this tumultuous time, life settled on Hro’Zamal and as the planet became more and more profitable, with the introduction of the Ras’Nif carbonated drinks and Schlorrgo exports, it in return received more funding. The People’s Republic continues cutting down vast swathes of the ever-present jungle, more farms are being established and many civilians now head to Hro’zamal under the promise of free land to cultivate. Thanks to a newly installed HVAC system the capital has become a comfortable place to stay, and the SCC has opened its offices there, hoping to carve out their own exports and imports. And while both the insurgency and martial law are in full effect, the Administration no longer enforces the dogged oversight, creating a new, calmer, norm.

=Culture=

The culture of Hro’zamal is very similar to that of the People's Republic of Adhomai; Hadiism and collectivism are considered vital parts of society due to the rough nature of the colony. Dreams of self-determination are often crushed by the rough jungle, and few Tajara can claim to survive on their own. As a result, the Tajara of Hro’zamal are considered cynical by many and almost comically practical. Frequently smaller infractions are ignored; smuggling, cursing, and black booting aren’t punished by the administration as it must keep its eyes peeled for rebels and seditionists. Not to mention that getting rid of an important Tajara for something so minor, could lead to a domino effect of unexpected catastrophes. Despite this, the Hro’zamal colonists are supportive of the PRA due to their negative experiences with the other factions and ingrained loyalty. To add the Administration has been slightly laxer in regards to private and political restrictions, for which it has been warned by the PRA multiple times. However, there is little they can do, as mass arrests or purges could cause the entire colony to collapse, not to mention halting the propaganda machine that Hro’zamal is an ideal future for a young Tajara. Instead, the PRA conducts interviews, searches, and background checks on all those who wish to apply, judging if they’re loyal enough.

Holiday festivities are restricted by the administration, although with limited success. The administration claims that because of the hard work needed to settle Hro’zamal, holidays such as Ma’ta’kyr and Coming of Dawn serve as nothing, but pointless distractions, and Victory Day is supposed to be celebrated at home with a simple toast. The truth is that most of the Pioneer Guard couldn’t care less, many taking part in the illegal festivities themselves. Only the Expeditionary Force bothers to enforce these standards, thus the capital city itself tends to be rather quiet. Due to its spotty political appearance, the administration has given special care towards creating its own Youth Club, which is flown out to Adhomai to participate in parades and contests. These members are frequently bullied and made fun of by the other, Adhomai based Youth Clubs, creating the exact opposite effect and stirring an unintentional rivalry. As with everything, religion is in big contention on the planet.

Another point of contention is religion, wishing to see a Hadiist society arise without the need for it. Since the start, all priests and clergy have been banned from Hro’zamal. This was unveiled only years after the colonization efforts began and has led to many protests and complaints being raised against the Administration. After Martial Law was enacted, these complaints fell to a near-zero, the Pioneer Guard don’t care enough to enforce irreligion, but also don’t really want to deal with any reports, simply handing out beatings to Tajara who are too loud. Meanwhile, the Expeditionary Force purposefully omits these complaints from their records, and those who complain often find themselves being shipped back home.

Clothing and cuisine are different from Adhomai due to the climate. Colonists wear simple cotton overalls, with or without a shirt. Large, brimmed hats to offer protection from the sun are also common and many opt to wear ponchos, protecting both against sun and rain. The population relies heavily on the local fauna and flora for sustenance and while not needed, army rations are a highly desired commodity, appealing more to the native Tajara palette. New dishes appear every year on Hro’zamal as the colonists become more accustomed and experienced with their local cooking ingredients.

=Leaving Hro’zamal=

Tajara who wish to leave Hro'zamal can find it surprisingly difficult. Engineers, doctors, scientists, and other critical members of society are often “persuaded” to remain, either through threats of violence or promises of better living conditions. If neither works, the transfer papers get lost, sent back due to error, or simply misplaced, extending their stay. Those the Administration considers unimportant have, ironically, an easier time getting off the planet. But the PRA doesn’t want the bad reputation associated with a sudden mass exodus of colonists, and so the civilian transports off-planet are limited to one every three months. These are often packed to the brim and preferred seating is given to those applying the longest. These waiting lists can be so long that some have been hoping to get off of Hro’Zamal since the colony was established.

The easiest way to leave is to go with the SCC, their small office is always cramped and there are always more applicants than the executives can handle. And while the administration has no power inside the SCC spaces themselves, those caught waiting outside are often detained for loitering. Some of them find a way off of Hro’zamal, but in a prisoner transport. For this reason, Hro’zamal has a disproportionately high hiring rate compared to Adhomai on a per-capita basis. It also means that those leaving Hro’zamal often leave bound with terribly predatory contracts, even worse than is usual for Tajara to have.
Then there is hitching a ride out of there, while smugglers mostly import gear, sometimes a sobered freedom fighter will pay these smugglers to hide inside their ship to get away from the jungle hell. Other times a worker from a factory might slip an extra few credits to the crews who manage the soda exports, hiding between the crates, heading for either Biesel or Adhomai. Lastly, there are the prison ships, while less in number now that the Administration has decided it is better to deal with things on the spot. They still operate, now mostly carrying insurgents, seditionists, murderers, and other criminals of high caliber who the Pioneer Guard don’t want to deal with.

Those who finally manage to get off of Hro’zamal won’t have it easy with the PRA, but they are afforded a bit more freedom than others. Hro’zamal as a planet serves greatly towards the Republican propaganda, and so its image must be maintained. To this end, officers and investigators are told to intervene, personally, rather than using the official PSIS channels. A colonist behaving a bit more rambunctiously than the PRA would like can always be excused as “human influences”, however, having such a colonist marked on official papers as a degenerate or a seditionist would be undesirable. Still, Hro’zamal colonists can’t get carried away, while they’re afforded a bit more freedom in non-PRA space, anything obvious and loud will still get them sent off to Adhomai for trial.

=Development=

Hro’zamal is known for two things, a large amount of space and that space being occupied by flora. For this, colonists use flamethrowers and machetes to clear any area they are required to settle. Following that comes the hab-blocks. These are modular multi-purpose blocks that can be fitted together to provide shelter, electricity, and water throughout multiple households without the need for extra digging or work. While these hab-blocks were intended to be only a temporary solution, they’ve become a permanent staple of many towns. The colonists are either too busy or in too much danger to create their own permanent households from the native materials. While traditionally white, the colonists have come to personalize these hab-blocks, painting them with a variety of colors and motives. While this is to the dislike of the Hadiist mentality, it is largely tolerated by the administration. Initially, these houses were supposed to come pre-equipped with furniture, however, scarcity has led to only the most critical buildings, hospitals, post offices, and military barracks, being equipped as such. Thus, most settlers make their own furniture, which is often highly personalized. The one exception to all of this is the capital, which has been built since the start with the idea of an ideal Hadiist city. Large, grey blocks dominate the cityscape with little in terms of monuments to speak of outside of the large and dominating statue of President Hadii, pointing a finger towards the sky with a small child looking on in awe. It also houses the relatively large military presence, with very few army bases established outside of the capital.

In regards to travel, most transportation in the jungles is done with the new autogyros, or by the many seas and winding rivers. In terms of land, the settlers themselves prefer using animals or threaded vehicles, while those closer to Muldhir can make use of its established roads and use regular trucks and cars. One critical vehicle are the Jungle-cutters, large, repurposed tanks equipped with massive sawblades, capable of clearing miles of jungle terrain within minutes.

=The Jungle War=

Hro'zamal is currently one of the silent fronts of the Tajara Cold War. What started as an attempt to secede from the negligent and incompetent government, has now become a struggle for survival. While the rebels continue to gain support, they are generally disliked by the populace which considerably cripples their attempts at guerrilla warfare, as they cannot rely on the support of the locals. While third parties have supplied them generously in the past, as the conflict drags on and the rebels lose more and more troops their support has dwindled. As these same parties now turn to other, more promising fronts.

==Hro'zamal Pioneer Guard==

The defense of Hro'zamal was in the hands of the Orbital Fleet until most were recalled back to Adhomai. As a result, Governor Arrleef Pondiskarr decided to establish a militia force to replace the Republican soldiers: the Hro’zamal Pioneer Guard. Taking pathfinders, farmers, and other colonists and turning them into a ramshackle defense force. While not very well supplied, these men and women are determined to defend their homes.
These militiamen are armed with outdated Tajaran weapons: bolt action rifles, bayonets, and pistols, rarely a group might receive a machine gun or demolition gear. When deploying in the jungle, they are outfitted with reinforced jumpsuits equipped with primitive water-based cooling systems. Machetes and axes are also a popular choice, and due to the low visibility often become the main armaments of these Tajara.

The Pioneer Guard also acts as the colony's police force outside of Muldhir, justice is delivered swiftly and often on the spot thanks to their emergency powers. Most small crimes are given a fine, if they don’t have money they are instead beaten or brutalized. While officially criminals should be sent to Adhomai for trial, it’s much easier, faster, and more profitable to simply extort them. Not to mention the danger of sending away someone useful to the colonization effort who might not be easily replaceable. While the locals could turn to the Expeditionary Force, they themselves would rather face the local militia rather than whatever awaits them back home. This doesn’t apply to major criminal offenses, like murder or sedition, perpetrators of these crimes are sent away as they should be, although frequently the evidence and witness gathering leaves much to be desired.

The Pioneer Guard are seen as unreliable by the Expeditionary Force, while loyal they’re much more dedicated to defending their homeland rather than the ideas of PRA. The Pioneer Guard itself does not provide much pay, and so most of them are stationed near their home territories. Eating, sleeping, and working in their houses with their families and neighbors.

==Grand People's Army Expeditionary Force==

To put down the insurrection, the People's Republic dispatched their soldiers to Hro'zamal. These troops are known as the Grand People's Army Expeditionary Force. These loyal soldiers were shipped to an alien world to protect the Hadiist galactic interests. Despite their superior training and equipment, the soldiers were not prepared for jungle warfare. Many were killed in ambushes and surprised by traps. After considerable losses, the Expeditionary Force developed new tactics to deal with the guerrillas; the use of air assault to directly engage the rebels and then retreat to safety. While considered wasteful, it has proven highly effective, inflicting massive casualties against the rebels.

Expeditionary Forces are equipped with Tsarrayut’yan rifles, Icelances, and armored environmental suits. The Expeditionary Force is supported by a contingent of the People's Air Force, named “Hro’Zamal’s First and Only”. They make frequent use of both gyrodynes and autogyros, for transportation and bombing respectively, and tend to operate in smaller and more cohesive groups than the Pioneer Guard.

The Expeditionary Forces also function as a police force in the city of Muldhir from which they conduct operations. Officially they’re also supposed to oversee the Pioneer Guard, but their efforts are mostly focused on the rebels, they’re also partially impeded by the locals who would rather face immediate punishment at the hands of their neighbors. This isn’t helped by the fact that the Expeditionary Forces are clearly much better funded and regarded by the PRA, leading to them having a hostile rivalry with the Pioneer Guard.

==Hro'zamal Sham'tyrs==

Following his failure to take the planet's capital, Fakhri Oan fled into the jungle to escape from the Republican forces. It was there that he had founded the Hro’zamal Sham’tyrs, a liberation forces whose stated goal is to create an independent Hadiist republic upon Hro’zamal. The Sham’tyrs launch sporadic hit-and-run strikes against the towns and expeditions on Hro’zamal, which has complicated guerrilla warfare as they turned all surrounding villages hostile. They clash with the Pioneer Guard often, as they need to raid and pillage in order to survive since the Expeditionary Forces air dominance makes it impossible to establish any farms in the jungle. While the Hro’zamal Sham’tyrs stress that their fighters come from the local population, most of the killed fighters are never identified by any of the colonists.

The other major source of gear and supplies have been smugglers, who were always suspected to be funded by both ALA and NKA, hoping to undermine the PRA. But with the armistice signing, these smugglers have reduced in number and amount of gear delivered, forcing the Sham’tyrs to escalate their raids. Oan’s mental state has also come into question as he’s been locked into an impossible to navigate situation, struggling to maintain a fight that his own troops nor the Hro’zamal locals want.

=Fauna & Flora=

==Fauna==

'''Rrak'marr (Ghost Light)'''

The Rrak'marr is one of the predators that dwell in the forests of Hro’zamal. They are large snakelike creatures, with their limbless body covered by hard scales and quills. This animal hunts at night, making use of their large and well-adapted eyes to snatch prey with their gargantuan jaws. They were given the name "Ghost Light" by the colonists due to their capacity of emitting lights through their eyes and quills. Pathfinders have confused their lights with lanterns or outposts, foolish wandering into these monsters. Xenobiologists suggest that bioluminescence is used to attract mating partners.

'''Ishnarak (Jungle Dweller)'''

This creature has a mythical status among the colonists. Many claim to have spotted them before, while xenobiologists have denied any evidence of their existence. The Ishnarak is described as a tall humanoid with a strong body covered in red fur, their small head possesses only one eye and a single largemouth located on their stomach. It is not unusual for pathfinders to have their own stories about meeting the jungle dwellers during their explorations. Tales describe them as wary beings, avoiding any contact with the Tajara. Scientists have attempted to find and record the Ishnarak, but no expedition has had success so far.

'''Hro'zamal N'hanzafu (Hro’zamal Fatshouters)'''

The Hro'zamal Fatshouters, despite its name, bears little resemblance to the Adhomian animal. This small fat herbivore is covered by brown leathery skin, its head has tiny eyes and a long trunk used for feeding. They are pacific creatures with a herd mentality, traveling in large groups across the planet. They are hunted by colonists and native predators for their fat meat.

'''Schlorrgo (Fat Baby)'''
[[File:A Schlorgo.png|240px|thumb|right|A Schlorrgo.]]
Schlorgos are native inhabitants of Hro'zamal, they live in the jungle mountains, from where they jump down large cliffs, to move to greener pastures in the summer, protected from the impact by their fat blubber. They come in a variety of colors, are described as perfectly smooth except for their beaks, and move by pushing their bodies and rolling in the desired direction. Schlorrgos are now domesticated, serving as either pets or livestock to the Tajara. Schlorgos are particularly popular for their blubber, used as an insulator, industrial lube, and glue. They can also be harvested for their meat or even milk, however, both are described as low quality and bitter. Schlorrgo milk, in particular, is known to cause violent stomach cramps to Tajara, but has seemingly no effect on other species. Due to their resistance to impacts and brute force, children will often throw or kick around Schlorrgos for fun.

==Flora==

'''Hro'zamal Ras'Nifs (Hro’zamal Heart-Berries)'''

A climbing plant found on the trees and bushes of the jungle. The Heart-Berries have large leaves, colorful flowers, and red fruits that are known for their seeds. The seeds of the Hro’zamal Ras’Nifs are grounded into a powder that is prepared as an herbal tea. The drink is sweet and is usually consumed cold; it is quite popular among settlers due to its caffeine-like stimulating effect. This plan has become the colony's most important crop after the introduction of [[People's Republic of Adhomai#Notable Dishes|Hro'zamal Soda]] to the People's Republic.

'''Szhigat'shaan (Cinder Trees)'''

Invaluable for their quality wood, the Cinder Trees make up a large part of the jungle in Hro’zamal. The plant has a dense, orange-red heartwood that takes a high shine, and is used in construction and in the fabrication of gun’s stocks. Red dye can also be extracted from this tree.

Hro'zamal is the second planet in the Nrrahrahul system. Formerly named Nrrahrahul Two, it was given the name Hro'zamal after the establishment of a permanent civilian colony on the planet's surface in 2459. The planet is roughly the size of Earth. About 77% of the planet is covered in oceans. The remaining landmass is dominated by lush jungles except for the poles that possess a subtropical climate.
Hro’zamal possesses little mineral richness, but it has a diverse ecosystem. Agriculture and plantations have become the staple exports of the colony. Most of Hro’zamal remains unexplored, with few outposts and settlements outside of the central cities scattered across the jungle. Scientists of the People’s Republic have taken a vast interest in the flora and fauna, being so different from their native Adhomai. Expeditionary groups frequently venture out into the jungle, although between the inhospitable jungle and hostile forces, such an expedition is always a risk.

=History=

The system of Nrrahrahul is home to the first advanced outpost established by the [[PRA Orbital Fleet Structure|Orbital Fleet]]; this base was initially used to combat piracy and smuggling, serving as a refueling checkpoint for the ships. As the only other planet in the system capable of sustaining life, it was quickly marked for colonization. Nrrahrahul Two was granted the official status of colony in 2459 following the application of 15,000 civilian inhabitants. Under the new colony status, it was renamed Hro'zamal by the Ministry of Colonial Affairs. Arrleef Pondiskarr, a njarir, was appointed as the colonial governor. The planet's capital and first settlement, Muldhir, was founded in 2460, on the subtropical northern pole. While survivable, during warmer seasons heat regulation is required for Tajara survival and so the colony was outfitted with an outdated HVAC system.

The civil war forced the [[People's Republic of Adhomai]] to weaken their colonization efforts, leading to the recall of soldiers, equipment, and ships. As the Republican control over the planet weakened, dissent spread among the population. The Solarian embargo was particularly damaging to the colony; the parts required to repair the precarious HVAC systems were non-manufacturable on the planet and rare in the system. Many believed that the republic had abandoned them and begun to consider a life without the PRA. With growing opposition, general unease, and reports of ALA agents making their move within the colony, martial law was declared. The remaining colonial guard received emergency powers, giving them essentially unlimited control, much to the dismay and dislike of the local population who were struggling to survive.

This would boil over as the final stages of the Adhomai war approached, with an insurrection aimed at overtaking the planet and leading it to independence. Led by the captain of the Colonial Guard, Fakhri Oan, the rebels besieged the colonial capital, Muldhir. The siege was unsuccessful as the Orbital Fleet returned to restore order and the rebels were forced to flee into the jungle. These forces lead a guerrilla war against the Grand People's Army and the Colonial Administration.

After this tumultuous time, life settled on Hro’Zamal and as the planet became more and more profitable, with the introduction of the Ras’Nif carbonated drinks and Schlorrgo exports, it in return received more funding. The People’s Republic continues cutting down vast swathes of the ever-present jungle, more farms are being established and many civilians now head to Hro’zamal under the promise of free land to cultivate. Thanks to a newly installed HVAC system the capital has become a comfortable place to stay, and the SCC has opened its offices there, hoping to carve out their own exports and imports. And while both the insurgency and martial law are in full effect, the Administration no longer enforces the dogged oversight, creating a new, calmer, norm.

=Culture=

The culture of Hro’zamal is very similar to that of the People's Republic of Adhomai; Hadiism and collectivism are considered vital parts of society due to the rough nature of the colony. Dreams of self-determination are often crushed by the rough jungle, and few Tajara can claim to survive on their own. As a result, the Tajara of Hro’zamal are considered cynical by many and almost comically practical. Frequently smaller infractions are ignored; smuggling, cursing, and black booting aren’t punished by the administration as it must keep its eyes peeled for rebels and seditionists. Not to mention that getting rid of an important Tajara for something so minor, could lead to a domino effect of unexpected catastrophes. Despite this, the Hro’zamal colonists are supportive of the PRA due to their negative experiences with the other factions and ingrained loyalty. To add the Administration has been slightly laxer in regards to private and political restrictions, for which it has been warned by the PRA multiple times. However, there is little they can do, as mass arrests or purges could cause the entire colony to collapse, not to mention halting the propaganda machine that Hro’zamal is an ideal future for a young Tajara. Instead, the PRA conducts interviews, searches, and background checks on all those who wish to apply, judging if they’re loyal enough.

Holiday festivities are restricted by the administration, although with limited success. The administration claims that because of the hard work needed to settle Hro’zamal, holidays such as Ma’ta’kyr and Coming of Dawn serve as nothing, but pointless distractions, and Victory Day is supposed to be celebrated at home with a simple toast. The truth is that most of the Pioneer Guard couldn’t care less, many taking part in the illegal festivities themselves. Only the Expeditionary Force bothers to enforce these standards, thus the capital city itself tends to be rather quiet. Due to its spotty political appearance, the administration has given special care towards creating its own Youth Club, which is flown out to Adhomai to participate in parades and contests. These members are frequently bullied and made fun of by the other, Adhomai based Youth Clubs, creating the exact opposite effect and stirring an unintentional rivalry. As with everything, religion is in big contention on the planet.

Another point of contention is religion, wishing to see a Hadiist society arise without the need for it. Since the start, all priests and clergy have been banned from Hro’zamal. This was unveiled only years after the colonization efforts began and has led to many protests and complaints being raised against the Administration. After Martial Law was enacted, these complaints fell to a near-zero, the Pioneer Guard don’t care enough to enforce irreligion, but also don’t really want to deal with any reports, simply handing out beatings to Tajara who are too loud. Meanwhile, the Expeditionary Force purposefully omits these complaints from their records, and those who complain often find themselves being shipped back home.

Clothing and cuisine are different from Adhomai due to the climate. Colonists wear simple cotton overalls, with or without a shirt. Large, brimmed hats to offer protection from the sun are also common and many opt to wear ponchos, protecting both against sun and rain. The population relies heavily on the local fauna and flora for sustenance and while not needed, army rations are a highly desired commodity, appealing more to the native Tajara palette. New dishes appear every year on Hro’zamal as the colonists become more accustomed and experienced with their local cooking ingredients.

=Leaving Hro’zamal=

Tajara who wish to leave Hro'zamal can find it surprisingly difficult. Engineers, doctors, scientists, and other critical members of society are often “persuaded” to remain, either through threats of violence or promises of better living conditions. If neither works, the transfer papers get lost, sent back due to error, or simply misplaced, extending their stay. Those the Administration considers unimportant have, ironically, an easier time getting off the planet. But the PRA doesn’t want the bad reputation associated with a sudden mass exodus of colonists, and so the civilian transports off-planet are limited to one every three months. These are often packed to the brim and preferred seating is given to those applying the longest. These waiting lists can be so long that some have been hoping to get off of Hro’Zamal since the colony was established.

The easiest way to leave is to go with the SCC, their small office is always cramped and there are always more applicants than the executives can handle. And while the administration has no power inside the SCC spaces themselves, those caught waiting outside are often detained for loitering. Some of them find a way off of Hro’zamal, but in a prisoner transport. For this reason, Hro’zamal has a disproportionately high hiring rate compared to Adhomai on a per-capita basis. It also means that those leaving Hro’zamal often leave bound with terribly predatory contracts, even worse than is usual for Tajara to have.
Then there is hitching a ride out of there, while smugglers mostly import gear, sometimes a sobered freedom fighter will pay these smugglers to hide inside their ship to get away from the jungle hell. Other times a worker from a factory might slip an extra few credits to the crews who manage the soda exports, hiding between the crates, heading for either Biesel or Adhomai. Lastly, there are the prison ships, while less in number now that the Administration has decided it is better to deal with things on the spot. They still operate, now mostly carrying insurgents, seditionists, murderers, and other criminals of high caliber who the Pioneer Guard don’t want to deal with.

Those who finally manage to get off of Hro’zamal won’t have it easy with the PRA, but they are afforded a bit more freedom than others. Hro’zamal as a planet serves greatly towards the Republican propaganda, and so its image must be maintained. To this end, officers and investigators are told to intervene, personally, rather than using the official PSIS channels. A colonist behaving a bit more rambunctiously than the PRA would like can always be excused as “human influences”, however, having such a colonist marked on official papers as a degenerate or a seditionist would be undesirable. Still, Hro’zamal colonists can’t get carried away, while they’re afforded a bit more freedom in non-PRA space, anything obvious and loud will still get them sent off to Adhomai for trial.

=Development=

Hro’zamal is known for two things, a large amount of space and that space being occupied by flora. For this, colonists use flamethrowers and machetes to clear any area they are required to settle. Following that comes the hab-blocks. These are modular multi-purpose blocks that can be fitted together to provide shelter, electricity, and water throughout multiple households without the need for extra digging or work. While these hab-blocks were intended to be only a temporary solution, they’ve become a permanent staple of many towns. The colonists are either too busy or in too much danger to create their own permanent households from the native materials. While traditionally white, the colonists have come to personalize these hab-blocks, painting them with a variety of colors and motives. While this is to the dislike of the Hadiist mentality, it is largely tolerated by the administration. Initially, these houses were supposed to come pre-equipped with furniture, however, scarcity has led to only the most critical buildings, hospitals, post offices, and military barracks, being equipped as such. Thus, most settlers make their own furniture, which is often highly personalized. The one exception to all of this is the capital, which has been built since the start with the idea of an ideal Hadiist city. Large, grey blocks dominate the cityscape with little in terms of monuments to speak of outside of the large and dominating statue of President Hadii, pointing a finger towards the sky with a small child looking on in awe. It also houses the relatively large military presence, with very few army bases established outside of the capital.

In regards to travel, most transportation in the jungles is done with the new autogyros, or by the many seas and winding rivers. In terms of land, the settlers themselves prefer using animals or threaded vehicles, while those closer to Muldhir can make use of its established roads and use regular trucks and cars. One critical vehicle are the Jungle-cutters, large, repurposed tanks equipped with massive sawblades, capable of clearing miles of jungle terrain within minutes.

=The Jungle War=

Hro'zamal is currently one of the silent fronts of the Tajara Cold War. What started as an attempt to secede from the negligent and incompetent government, has now become a struggle for survival. While the rebels continue to gain support, they are generally disliked by the populace which considerably cripples their attempts at guerrilla warfare, as they cannot rely on the support of the locals. While third parties have supplied them generously in the past, as the conflict drags on and the rebels lose more and more troops their support has dwindled. As these same parties now turn to other, more promising fronts.

==Hro'zamal Pioneer Guard==

The defense of Hro'zamal was in the hands of the Orbital Fleet until most were recalled back to Adhomai. As a result, Governor Arrleef Pondiskarr decided to establish a militia force to replace the Republican soldiers: the Hro’zamal Pioneer Guard. Taking pathfinders, farmers, and other colonists and turning them into a ramshackle defense force. While not very well supplied, these men and women are determined to defend their homes.
These militiamen are armed with outdated Tajaran weapons: bolt action rifles, bayonets, and pistols, rarely a group might receive a machine gun or demolition gear. When deploying in the jungle, they are outfitted with reinforced jumpsuits equipped with primitive water-based cooling systems. Machetes and axes are also a popular choice, and due to the low visibility often become the main armaments of these Tajara.

The Pioneer Guard also acts as the colony's police force outside of Muldhir, justice is delivered swiftly and often on the spot thanks to their emergency powers. Most small crimes are given a fine, if they don’t have money they are instead beaten or brutalized. While officially criminals should be sent to Adhomai for trial, it’s much easier, faster, and more profitable to simply extort them. Not to mention the danger of sending away someone useful to the colonization effort who might not be easily replaceable. While the locals could turn to the Expeditionary Force, they themselves would rather face the local militia rather than whatever awaits them back home. This doesn’t apply to major criminal offenses, like murder or sedition, perpetrators of these crimes are sent away as they should be, although frequently the evidence and witness gathering leaves much to be desired.

The Pioneer Guard are seen as unreliable by the Expeditionary Force, while loyal they’re much more dedicated to defending their homeland rather than the ideas of PRA. The Pioneer Guard itself does not provide much pay, and so most of them are stationed near their home territories. Eating, sleeping, and working in their houses with their families and neighbors.

==Grand People's Army Expeditionary Force==

To put down the insurrection, the People's Republic dispatched their soldiers to Hro'zamal. These troops are known as the Grand People's Army Expeditionary Force. These loyal soldiers were shipped to an alien world to protect the Hadiist galactic interests. Despite their superior training and equipment, the soldiers were not prepared for jungle warfare. Many were killed in ambushes and surprised by traps. After considerable losses, the Expeditionary Force developed new tactics to deal with the guerrillas; the use of air assault to directly engage the rebels and then retreat to safety. While considered wasteful, it has proven highly effective, inflicting massive casualties against the rebels.

Expeditionary Forces are equipped with Tsarrayut’yan rifles, Icelances, and armored environmental suits. The Expeditionary Force is supported by a contingent of the People's Air Force, named “Hro’Zamal’s First and Only”. They make frequent use of both gyrodynes and autogyros, for transportation and bombing respectively, and tend to operate in smaller and more cohesive groups than the Pioneer Guard.

The Expeditionary Forces also function as a police force in the city of Muldhir from which they conduct operations. Officially they’re also supposed to oversee the Pioneer Guard, but their efforts are mostly focused on the rebels, they’re also partially impeded by the locals who would rather face immediate punishment at the hands of their neighbors. This isn’t helped by the fact that the Expeditionary Forces are clearly much better funded and regarded by the PRA, leading to them having a hostile rivalry with the Pioneer Guard.

==Hro'zamal Sham'tyrs==

Following his failure to take the planet's capital, Fakhri Oan fled into the jungle to escape from the Republican forces. It was there that he had founded the Hro’zamal Sham’tyrs, a liberation forces whose stated goal is to create an independent Hadiist republic upon Hro’zamal. The Sham’tyrs launch sporadic hit-and-run strikes against the towns and expeditions on Hro’zamal, which has complicated guerrilla warfare as they turned all surrounding villages hostile. They clash with the Pioneer Guard often, as they need to raid and pillage in order to survive since the Expeditionary Forces air dominance makes it impossible to establish any farms in the jungle. While the Hro’zamal Sham’tyrs stress that their fighters come from the local population, most of the killed fighters are never identified by any of the colonists.

The other major source of gear and supplies have been smugglers, who were always suspected to be funded by both ALA and NKA, hoping to undermine the PRA. But with the armistice signing, these smugglers have reduced in number and amount of gear delivered, forcing the Sham’tyrs to escalate their raids. Oan’s mental state has also come into question as he’s been locked into an impossible to navigate situation, struggling to maintain a fight that his own troops nor the Hro’zamal locals want.

=Fauna & Flora=

==Fauna==

'''Rrak'marr (Ghost Light)'''

The Rrak'marr is one of the predators that dwell in the forests of Hro’zamal. They are large snakelike creatures, with their limbless body covered by hard scales and quills. This animal hunts at night, making use of their large and well-adapted eyes to snatch prey with their gargantuan jaws. They were given the name "Ghost Light" by the colonists due to their capacity of emitting lights through their eyes and quills. Pathfinders have confused their lights with lanterns or outposts, foolish wandering into these monsters. Xenobiologists suggest that bioluminescence is used to attract mating partners.

'''Ishnarak (Jungle Dweller)'''

This creature has a mythical status among the colonists. Many claim to have spotted them before, while xenobiologists have denied any evidence of their existence. The Ishnarak is described as a tall humanoid with a strong body covered in red fur, their small head possesses only one eye and a single largemouth located on their stomach. It is not unusual for pathfinders to have their own stories about meeting the jungle dwellers during their explorations. Tales describe them as wary beings, avoiding any contact with the Tajara. Scientists have attempted to find and record the Ishnarak, but no expedition has had success so far.

'''Hro'zamal N'hanzafu (Hro’zamal Fatshouters)'''

The Hro'zamal Fatshouters, despite its name, bears little resemblance to the Adhomian animal. This small fat herbivore is covered by brown leathery skin, its head has tiny eyes and a long trunk used for feeding. They are pacific creatures with a herd mentality, traveling in large groups across the planet. They are hunted by colonists and native predators for their fat meat.

'''Schlorrgo (Fat Baby)'''
[[File:A Schlorgo.png|240px|thumb|right|A Schlorrgo.]]
Schlorgos are native inhabitants of Hro'zamal, they live in the jungle mountains, from where they jump down large cliffs, to move to greener pastures in the summer, protected from the impact by their fat blubber. They come in a variety of colors, are described as perfectly smooth except for their beaks, and move by pushing their bodies and rolling in the desired direction. Schlorrgos are now domesticated, serving as either pets or livestock to the Tajara. Schlorgos are particularly popular for their blubber, used as an insulator, industrial lube, and glue. They can also be harvested for their meat or even milk, however, both are described as low quality and bitter. Schlorrgo milk, in particular, is known to cause violent stomach cramps to Tajara, but has seemingly no effect on other species. Due to their resistance to impacts and brute force, children will often throw or kick around Schlorrgos for fun.

==Flora==

'''Hro'zamal Ras'Nifs (Hro’zamal Heart-Berries)'''

A climbing plant found on the trees and bushes of the jungle. The Heart-Berries have large leaves, colorful flowers, and red fruits that are known for their seeds. The seeds of the Hro’zamal Ras’Nifs are grounded into a powder that is prepared as an herbal tea. The drink is sweet and is usually consumed cold; it is quite popular among settlers due to its caffeine-like stimulating effect. This plan has become the colony's most important crop after the introduction of [[People's Republic of Adhomai#Notable Dishes|Hro'zamal Soda]] to the People's Republic.

'''Szhigat'shaan (Cinder Trees)'''
Invaluable for their quality wood, the Cinder Trees make up a large part of the jungle in Hro’zamal. The plant has a dense, orange-red heartwood that takes a high shine, and is used in construction and in the fabrication of gun’s stocks. Red dye can also be extracted from this tree.

[[Tajara|Tajaran]] history and society has a long list of notable individuals and heroes that are known across [[Adhomai]].

==People's Republic==

''"Comrades, in this struggle we fight to protect the progress we have fought so hard to make in the preceding decades. Our march forever onwards for a Hadiist society must not be stopped by the usurpers who would see us become a brutish military dictatorship, nor those fetid imperialists who would restore the atrocities of the old ways."''

''- President Njadrasanukii Hadii, in a televised address to the people in 2452.''
===President Njadrasanukii Hadii===

[[File:Hadii portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the president, done in 2460.]]
Njadrasanukii Hadii, also known as Malik Hadii, was born in '''2402''' to the noble Njarir'Akhran Hadii line. His mother was Rajjurl Hadii, and his father Tajrhalrr Hadii. He got involved with the military at an early age, becoming a cadet for the Royal Navy at 16 and achieving a commission as a Lieutenant-Commander at 22, and leading his own destroyer as a Captain at 29. During the revolution, he briefly fought for the loyalists but was recalled to the Hadii Citadel to help defend his family's ancestral home. Following the revolution and the Hadii's rise in the new Federal Republic, Njadrasanukii was given the office of Vice-President under his brother Al'Mari Hadii.

Malik assumed the presidency in '''2451''' after the assassination of Al'mari. He continued his brother's early agenda of collaborating with NanoTrasen and other galactic powers. Njadrasanukii purged any suspicious elements from his administration after the Nated's coup, consolidating his power through the imprisonment and execution of anyone that threatened his regime. Further authoritarian measures were established by him; the expansion of the secret police, the rapid industrialization of the PRA, and further persecution against those who did not conform to his policies. Under Malik Hadii's control, the current form of Hadiism took shape; an ideology focused on the creation of a monolithic Tajaran culture under the unquestionable guidance of the Hadii political line. The office of the president had its powers largely expanded under his rule, allowing Njadrasanukii to control all aspects of the People's Republic government. Total loyalty to Njadrasanukii is expected from all Party members.

A state-endorsed cult of personality has been established around President Hadii. Through a robust propaganda system, republican citizens are informed daily about Malik's achievements and how only through his guidance the Republican can prosper. Portraits of President Hadii can be found in most Hadiist homes and government buildings. Njadrasanukii is known for his speeches praising his own administration and the bravery of his people; his voice can be heard frequently on the radio. While many admire him as a strong leader, others fear his ruthless ways of dealing with the opposition.

President Hadii is famous for his extreme paranoia. Very few high-ranking members of the Party have direct access to him and little is known about his private life. He is constantly surrounded by hand-picked members of the secret service; those bodyguards are always under the risk of being purged for any reason. It is rumored that he has survived more than three hundred assassination attempts.

Despite the outcome of the Second revolution, Njadrasanukii continues to rule the People's Republic with an iron grip. He did not give up his plans of reestablishing Hadiist hegemony over Adhomai.
[[File:headmaster portrait.png|200px|thumb|left|A rare picture of the camera shy Tyr'adrr, taken during the closure of an illegal protest, dated to 2459.]]
===Headmaster Harrrdanim Tyr'adrr===

Harrrdanim was born in '''2425''' to a M'sai family serving the Hadii during the First Revolution. Wishing to follow in the footsteps of his parents, he joined the Hadiist Party at a young age. He soon caught the attention of the People's Strategic Intelligence Service due to his craftiness and was given a position in the agency. Despite enjoying moderate success during the late years of Al’mari’s rule, Tyr'adrr rose to prominence after the President’s assassination. Leading several purges within the secret service, he was able to secure a promotion as the Headmaster after the previous head was arrested for suspicious behavior. Under Tyr’addr’s control, the PSIS became the feared terror machine it is today. Heavy investments in surveillance technology, the establishment of a robust web of informants, and the large-scale repression of political opponents greatly weakened the opposition in the People’s Republic. His supposed adventures during this period have spawned an entire "spy thriller" genre in the Republic.

After helping secure President Hadii's rule, Headmaster Harrdanim focused his efforts on fighting the Liberation Army and the New Kingdom. Ruthless anti-partisan campaigns were carried out under his supervision. The displacement of Chaniska’s native population, scorched-earth tactics in Northern Ras'nrr, and the creation of Try'urma Penitentiary were among some of his orders during the conflict. His actions during the Second Revolution earned him the reputation of being merciless and bloodthirsty. In spite of several assassination attempts, ALA agents failed to murder him and he continued his reign of terror unimposed.

Even after the Armistice, Headmaster Harrdanim continues to work tirelessly to undermine the enemies of the Republic. He has a large interest in securing the Tajara population living outside of Adhomai and is responsible for the PSIS presence in District Six. He is eager to suggest more authoritarian solutions and believes in increasing, even more, the state’s control over the population. Because of the role of the Strategic Service in the government, Tyr'adrr is one of the most powerful and hated Tajara in the People's Republic. While seemingly loyal to President Hadii, many in the Party fear where Tyr'adrr's ambition might lead him.

===Party Secretary Yakiv Hadii===

Yakiv Hadii was born in '''2412''' as the second cousin to President Hadii. While too young to take part in the First Revolution, Yakiv joined the Hadiist Party as soon as he could. During Njadrasanukii’s rule, he excelled as a bureaucrat due to his organizational skills. He managed the distribution of land and the establishment of communal farms during the Republican Agrarian reforms. Through a combination of political maneuvers and nepotism, he quickly climbed the Party's ranks. Yakiv sought to further the Republican relationship with NanoTrasen, seeking their support for the development of Adhomai. This stance caused him to lose Al’mari’s favor during the years leading to the Second Revolution. He was then demoted to an unimportant position in the Ministry of Agriculture.

Yakiv returned to prominence after Rhagrrhuzau’s assassination; he was seen as a way to link Malik’s rule to his now-deceased brother. Following the abolishment of the office of vice-president, Yakiv was promoted as the Party Secretary by Njadrasanukii. He became responsible for the internal organization and reviewing applications to the Party; he was quick to remove many of his political opponents from power using his new powers. Known as unquestionably loyal to President Hadii, he became infamous for being nothing but a yes man. He continued his policy of maintaining good relations with megacorporations, lobbying for more deals with NanoTrasen. Countless Tajara were given the opportunity to leave Adhomai due to his efforts, most sold as cheap labor while some others were able to acquire higher education. During the final stages of the war, he was one of the main proponents of the need for foreign intervention to save the People's Republic.

After the Armistice, Yakiv remained as Party Secretary. He is one of the closest advisors to President Hadii, helping Malik in matters related to internal and external affairs. Despite being an orthodox Hadiist, he is eager to push for changes to appease NanoTrasen and other foreign powers in an attempt to gain their support. Many within the Party see Yakiv as a power-hungry and untrustworthy politician, eager to abuse his power to reach what he wants. Others recognize him as a cunning politician with a rather dangerous influence over President Hadii.

===Minister of Defense Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar===

Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar was born into a Hharar peasant family in '''2428'''. He was raised around veterans of the first revolution and was always interested in their stories. Owing to the new opportunities brought by the People’s Republic, Irbaykhan enrolled in a military academy and joined the Grand People's Army as an officer. He survived the purges of the early Hadiist government because of his political reliability; as he was one of the first army leaders to support President Hadii during his ascension. This left him in the privileged situation of being one of the few properly trained officers at the dawn of the Nated’s coup.

Irbaykhan quickly climbed the ranks of the Republican Army during the Second Revolution. Making extensive use of artillery and motorized troops, he secured early victories that gave much-needed breathing room to the fragile Republic. While in command of the Dymtris Front in '''2456''', he pushed the New Kingdom into the defensive position that they would remain in until the very end of the war. Mirarkiizar’s final promotion during the conflict was to the theater commander of the Rass’nrr Military District. With the help of the alien allies of the Republic, he managed to recapture the main region of the continent. He was given a seat in the Ministry of Defense after the Armistice, working alongside the upper echelons of the Party to refine the Republic’s strategy.

Unlike most members of the Ministry of Defense, Irbaykhan has both political connections and practical experience in the field. This combination has made him one of President Hadii’s closest advisors in regard to military matters. Currently, he is responsible for the Hro'zamal campaign. Mirarkiizar sees the Grand People's Army as an essential component of the Hadiist state; the ever-vigilant guardian of the Republic against its enemies. The Minister believes that strict discipline and union towards a common goal is the best way to safeguard the future of the People’s Republic.

===Minister of Technology Zhuldyz Hadii===
[[File:zhuldyz portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A picture done of Zhuldyz Hadii in her lab, created in 2462.]]
Born in '''2420''' to the Hadii dynasty, Zhuldyz enjoyed the many privileges granted to her family. She grew up fascinated by the new technologies brought by human contact; she would spend hours tinkering and dismantling electronics during her childhood. Later she was sent to study in prestigious Solarian universities, where she ventured into the field of robotics. Zhuldyz returned to Adhomai in 2449 and was granted a post in the Ministry of Technology.

Using the knowledge acquired off-world, Zhuldyz drew plans with the objective of modernizing the Republic through a technological revolution. The rapid industrialization aided by mechatronics would bring prosperity to the Tajara. While many of her initial projects were abruptly interrupted by Rhagrrhuzau's assassination, she remained in her position due to being a member of the Hadii dynasty. The unstable early years of Njadrasanukii’s presidency were unfavorable towards her dreams; stopping Nated’s coup and the Royalist uprising were top priorities at the time. However, as the frontlines stagnated and a semblance of normalcy returned to the People’s Republic, Zhuldyz had the chance to convince President Hadii of her plans. Knowing that losing the war would put an end to her pursuits, she turned her genius to the military field. Victory could be achieved through technological superiority. She was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Hadii Institute of Orbital Research|Hadii Institute of Orbital Research]], the expansion of the [[Tajara_Space_Capability#PRA_Army_Wing|Orbital Fleet]], and the creation of the Tesla Brigade. Zhuldyz was promoted to the office of the Minister of Technology shortly before the Armistice.

The Adhomian Cold War became the perfect testing ground for Zhuldyz's projects. She sees the period of peace as an opportunity to turn the People's Republic into a technological powerhouse. Zhuldyz believes that the future of Hadiism lies in science and that the Republic must become advanced enough to subjugate its enemies. Minister Hadii is not interested in ethical or safe research; she is eager to pursue dangerous and questionable experiments. No price is too small to pay during the march of progress. President Hadii gave Zhuldyz near uncontested authority to lead the Ministry of Technology. She was the mind behind the creation of the first independent robotic factory on Adhomai.

===Secretary of the Navy Hura'zhi Mira'zkui===

Born in '''2422''' to an exiled line of minor nobility from the Zatushka Kingdom, Mira’zkui grew up in the chaos of the First Revolution as the armies of the Hadiist rebels marched across Adhomai. When the dust had settled, despite his personal wishes to enter the party itself, his family would convince him to uphold their old traditions and join the forming Republican Navy in '''2447'''. It was then that Mira’zkui met Dynhaas and joined the Oceanmasters Lounge.

During the chaos of Dynhaas’ defection in '''2450''', Mira’zkui narrowly avoided his own death. Informed early by a loyal lieutenant that his own crew was plotting to kill him, Mira’zkui fled in a lifeboat and watched as his fellow officers were thrown screaming from the decks of their own ships. A few days later, he was found on the shores of Ras’nrr. As the Republic fell into chaos, Mira’zkui returned to the Republican Navy as Secretary, entrusted by Malik Hadii to fight against the pirate flotillas of the ALA and the Royal Navy. However, Mira’zkui’s loyalty was not able to make up for his inexperience. While the last of the Liberation Army’s pirate vessels were sunk, he was unable to contend with the strength of the Royal Navy and unable to achieve his personal desire: Capturing or killing Dynhaas.

Post-War, Mira’zkui has largely become reclusive and withdrawn from the public eye. While he continues to try and develop the Republican navy, Mira’zkui is forced to contend with funding going towards the projects of the Orbital Navy and Grand People’s Army. With a relationship of mutual dislike between himself and Zhuldyz Hadii, many within the party believe that Mira’zkui will likely be replaced eventually. How he would react to being denied any chance for revenge against Dynhaas is something no one knows.

===Chief Naval Commander Samirro Qarrarhaz===

Born in Northern Ras’nrr in '''2407''', Samirro was the son of a loyal M'sai general in the Hadii Hegemony. Qarrarhaz's family raised and taught him to follow in his father’s footsteps. He would become an artillery officer in '''2428''', finding great success during combat against monarchist groups through using extensive shelling to force and flush out the enemy. By '''2431''' Qarrarhaz was moved into Southern Harr’masir to prepare for an invasion of the Kingdom of Kaltir. His artillery crews were among those who scoured the Kingdom following its surrender, shelling whatever villas, castles, and manors they had found. A staunch ally of Al’mari Hadii and his family, Qarrarhaz has always stood by the Hadii family and the republic they had later built.

While also providing training for future artillery commanders in the interwar period, Qarrarhaz became part of a committee formed by President Al’mari Hadii to plan and prepare a space fleet for the PRA. He, along with other committee members, traveled to the Coalition of Colonies' planets of Xanu Prime and Himeo to observe anti-piracy operations in order to better develop the PRA’s own future space warfare doctrine in '''2452'''. When the Orbital Fleet was completed by '''2457''', Qarrarhaz was appointed Chief Naval Commander by President Malik Hadii. Since then, he has won numerous victories against piracy, smugglers, and even bested a [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/?do=findComment&comment=114422 Sol cruiser].

Post-war, Qarrarhaz continues to lead his spaceships and Kosmostrelki in the defense of the PRA’s claimed space. Comfortable and experienced in his position, Qarrarhaz has begun to speak more on the future of the PRA’s ventures into space. Controversially, the Commander has stated that the PRA must eventually extend its hand to the numerous small colonies and off-worlder communities dotting the frontier around them. Arguing that Hadiism’s light must be spread beyond Tajara, it is his belief that the PRA must one day uplift these groups from their poverty and absorb them into the state.

===Minister of Education Kalim Khazdar===

Kalim Khazdar was born in '''2430''' to a family of Hharar foremen in the city of Tampiska. Deemed a bright child by his teachers, he was sent to study in Al'marii. Captivated by the tales of progress and prosperity brought by the interwar period, Kalim enrolled at the Al'marii College of Hadiist Sciences. He continued his studies intending to become a college teacher. During his time as a student, he became a good friend and protégé of the rector of the university, Mahir Hadii. His friendship with a member of the political dynasty opened many doors for him.

Kalim joined the Hadiist party during the Second Revolution. He later visited Tau Ceti to study the Adhomian community there; his experiences in District Six deeply affected his ideas. He saw all the social problems that those who lived under the megacorporation rule were subject to. Instead of losing faith in Hadiism, he started to believe that reforms were necessary to save the People's Republic; NanoTrasen should be a means to an end, not the end itself. Kalim returned to Adhomai in 2459 and became a college professor. Thanks to his connections, he soon got involved with the administration and politics of the university. His papers on the subject of Hadiist education were generally well-received by the academia.

With the Armistice of Shastar, Kalim Khazdar aligned himself to the Young Hadiist faction; his sympathy towards the movement was largely unknown to the Party. His ascension to the position of Minister of Education in 2463 was the result of a confidential deal between his mentor and President Hadii. Despite being considered a powerless and inexperienced politician by the other members of the Hadiist cabinet, Kalim is not to be underestimated. Cunning will be necessary to avoid the wrath of President Hadii and his lackeys. The path to a truly free People's Republic will be a long and difficult one.

===Yasmin Piaf===

[[File:Yasmin portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A piece of a poster, promoting Yasmin Piaf's concert, 2463.]]
Yasmina Burokov, aka Yasmin Piaf, was born in 2434 in the suburbs of Nal'tor to a particularly well-off Njarir'Akhran family. Yasmin's father, Boris Burokov was a low-ranking State department official and devout loyalist of the People's Republic. She spent her childhood being educated in the best State-run schools their family could afford and enjoyed relative wealth and prosperity far from the poorer outskirts of the city.

Even from a young age, Yasmin was interested in music. She was part of her school's choir and participated in several nationwide contests for the honor of singing for President Rhagrrhuzau Hadii. The all-female 'Band of Njarir Maidens' consisting of Yasmin and her classmates eventually won and sang for the President and other members of his cabinet at the end of the annual military parade held in Nal'tor. Eventually, she graduated and went on to the Academy of Musical Arts with a full scholarship.

Talent scouts pruning the burgeoning academy's student pool for the next starlet eventually discovered Yasmin during rehearsals for the school's upcoming musical, and she signed a tentative deal with the small publication Vostak Recordings. Her first record, simply titled The Man in Rouge, was released with minimal fanfare. Given that she had sung a small solo during her performance for the President, some Tajara recalled her name.

Yet her voice, described by some as angelic and innocent, found purchase with an aging generation of Tajara who wished a brief return to peaceful normalcy following the First Revolution. Her dedication to the traditional pop standard and recognition for torch songs eventually elevated her to the status of a household name, with her recording label releasing hit after hit. As a result, Yasmin Piaf has become one of the most famous singers in the modern era - one who has fostered a close relationship with State officials. She is one of the few artists who are approved to be played on State radio KGTW-11.

===Andrey Borisov===

Out of all the Tajara that one could argue embody loyalty to the People’s Republic, perhaps none are more memorable than Andrey Alexander Borisov. In the average Republican household, his name is just as common as President Hadii’s, owing to the fact that he is the face of State propaganda and news network RAFИ. Born in 2416 to a line of M’sai warriors, Andrey was not even two years old before humanity stumbled across Adhomai and lit the flame that ignited the First Revolution.

Andrey’s father and uncle were killed in the uprising, leaving him, his mother, and his sister alone to fend for themselves. His mother curried favor with the local rebel leader when their town fell to the onslaught of war; she became his concubine and, later, his wife. The ever-advancing front saw Andrey moved from home to home, where the young M’sai would often spend time talking to soldiers recovering after harsh fighting. They nourished a sense of patriotism in him, and eventually, he came to see the First Revolution as necessary for the future of the Tajara.

The war ended in 2432, when he was merely 16 years old. As the newly founded People’s Republic began the arduous transition from a movement to a government, Andrey’s connections with the upper echelon of PRA politicians bore fruit. He was taken on as a member of an officer’s general staff, headquartered in Nal’Tor, where he served as little more than a glorified secretary. His position put him in contact with the elite, however, and many found him charming and personable. His silver tongue earned him the interest of Dmitrys Marakov, the owner of the only State-approved television station at that point in time.

His ascension from lowly secretary to the major news anchor for RAFИ was one that involved plenty of political maneuvering, money - and, rumored by some, violence - but ultimately Andrey had proved his loyalty to the political elite of the People's Republic and he was rewarded with the honor of being their mouthpiece. As a result, no Tajara on Adhomai can go very long without seeing his smiling face on their television set, spinning the next story or cover-up at the behest of the State.

==Democratic People's Republic==

''"We are soldiers. We are fighters. We are war. We have forsaken the corrupt and decaying corpse of the xeno-loving People's Republic. We have left our homes and our families, but our cause is righteous. The suns are with us! The vile usurper of my friend and comrade Al'mari will have justice delivered to him! We will spill the blood of our enemies until our struggles are seen and heard, and we WILL retake OUR Republic!"

''- Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan, the day after the coup de tat began, 2451.''

===Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan===
[[File:Nateed portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A surprise picture of Nated, taken in 2458.]]
Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan was born in '''2404''' to a M'sai family under the service of the Hadii Dynasty. The son of a royal guard, Nated interacted with many Njarir children in his early life. He grew to resent their narcissism but was prepared to inherit his duty nonetheless. When the First Revolution ignited in '''2421''', Halkiikijr fought for the loyalists alongside the Hadii family. Becoming a battle-brother of Rhagrrhuzau Hadii, or better known as Al'Mari Hadii, Nated stood with the Hadii’s decision to abandon their royal roots and join the revolutionaries. When the war ended Al'Mari was sworn into office, Halkiikijr was made a Commander in Chief of the Republican Army in return for his service.

Al'Mari supposedly made promises of swearing-in Halkiikijr as the next president of the People's Republic once the political climate on Adhomai had stabilized. The legitimacy of this claim is not known, but what is known is that Al'Mari was assassinated during a military parade in '''2451''' and Njadrasanukii Hadii, vice president of the People's Republic, swore himself in as the successor of the presidency. Outraged at the assassination and accusing Njadrasanukii of treachery against the People’s Republic, Nated organized a coup against Malik. Bringing together military commanders dissatisfied with the new Hadiist policies, Halkiikijr created the Adhomai Liberation Army to dethrone the new President. He then took the title of Supreme Commander.

As the putsch attempt was thwarted by the Hadiist forces, Nated fled to Shastar City. The coup then turned into a full-blown civil war between the Liberation Army and the People’s Republic. Without off-world help, Nated called to arms anyone willing to support his cause. His movement became a unifying front to all kinds of elements opposing President Hadii; from democratic reformers to extremists fighting to free Adhomai from alien influence. For a decade, Halkiikijr led the Liberation Army as an effective opposing force against the People’s Republic and the New Kingdom. He favored the extensive use of irregular warfare coupled with the deployment of the army to secure decisive battles. A cult of personality formed around Halkiikijr; extremists claimed that he was a prophet sent by the Gods. The Supreme Commander took advantage of this belief to cultivate undying loyalty and fanaticism among his followers.

Believing that the territories under his control were ready for a democracy modeled after the Al'mariist principles, Nated's undisputed rule came to an end with the creation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai. Halkiikijr retired from his position as Supreme Commander to prevent a coup against the newly elected president. His retirement did not last long; he returned to power because of the Amohdan crisis in '''2462'''. Nated was given back the control of the Liberation Army and its remaining juntas to retake the Island of Amohda. After this display of weakness, Halkiikijr is unsure if the DPRA is truly ready to rule Adhomai. For him, the ALA is now more essential than before. Nated also faces infighting between his two right-hand men; commander Kahan and Kyff.

===Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad===

Kahan Hro'rammhad was born in '''2412''' to a Hharar family as their oldest children. A peasant from birth in the region of Southern Harr'masir, he was taught the traditional values of S'rendarr and Messa by his deeply religious parents. His childhood was cut short by the outbreak of the First Revolution; his family was expelled from their lands by the war. Thanks to its flat terrain, Southern Harr’masir saw the first deployment of armored vehicles in the conflict; trains, civilian cars, and trucks were outfitted for warfare by the rebels. Hro’rammhad joined the crew of an armored car as soon he turned 14 years old. Because of the high mortality among the revolutionaries, Kahan quickly found himself in the command of his own brigade. He became famous for his excellent use of the vehicles’ speed to encircle the enemy, and for his merciful nature. Monarchists soldiers were always given the chance of joining his side after capture. Hro’rammhad also forbade unnecessary executions and mistreatment of prisoners among his fighters.

Commander Kahan and his brigade were incorporated into the Hadiist faction shortly before the end of the First Revolution. As a member of the Republican Army, he was a major proponent of the transformation of the People’s Army into a motorized force. Tank brigades and motostrelki units were created under his supervision. Kahan funded the reconstruction of many temples destroyed during the revolution and frequently donated to charity through the interwar period. Hro’rammhad joined Nated’s coup due to his profound disagreement with Malik’s policies; he saw the oppression of the Zhan-Khazan as morally corrupt. Armored units that defected alongside him were organized into the Hro'rammhad Tank Corps under his command.

Hro'rammhad remained a merciful and pious Tajara through the Second Revolution. He rejected the notion of irregular warfare and continued to offer mercy to his enemies. As the leader of the main armored force in the Liberation Army, Kahan played an important role in decisive battles. This position allowed him to become a right-hand man for Nated. As part of his religiousness, Hro'rammhad considered the conflict to be a battle to protect the faith against the innate atheism of Hadiism. Religious imagery and motifs became common among his Tajara. The men under Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad are known to have the utmost respect for his bravery and mercy, most even going so far as to worship him as an embodiment of S'rendarr's justice. His success during the civil war earned him the nickname of “Undefeated Commander".

Despite the armistice, Commander Kahan remains as one of the second-in-command for Halkiikijr. He is an avid supporter of the transition to democracy, advocating for the dismantlement of the juntas. This position earned him many enemies among the more authoritarian elements within the Liberation Army. He is known to despise Commander Kyff Hotak for his tactics and personality. Both Tajara are currently engaged in an internal struggle to consolidate their influence over the Liberation Army.

===Commander Kyff Hotak===
[[File:hotak portrait.png|200px|thumb|left|A picture of Commander Hotak along with his pet Farwa, taken with flash in 2458.]]
Born in the year '''2406''' to a family of Zhan-Khazan miners in the Trizar, Kyff Hotak was supposedly destined to slave away for his Njarir master as his ancestors did for many generations. To avoid this fate, Hotak fled his home as a young Tajara. He ran into the wilderness until he found a bandit camp. Because of his age, the brigands decided to adopt Kyff as the group’s mascot. The boy grew up witnessing all kinds of crime and violence; later taking part in the band’s activity when old enough. The bandits sided with the rebels during the First Revolution in search of plunder. But their greed was their undoing; the criminals were massacred by the revolutionaries after they were discovered stealing rations. Hotak survived by being the one to report the activities of his previous comrades. As the war dragged on, Kyff became more bold and cruel in his revolutionary activities. He frequently engaged in assassinations, massacres, and false flag operations to crush the monarchists’ morale. Hotak was soon feared by his comrades and hated by his enemies. To him, everything was permissible to achieve victory. Impressed by the victories of the Hadii faction, he joined them as part of the early Ha'narr Corps.

The interwar period was fairly unremarkable for Kyff Hotak; he was given a low-ranking office position in the intelligence department. While Hotak advocated for the recreation of a force similar to the Mountain Ghost Corps, his request was ignored by the Hadiist high command. Memories of his excess in the First Revolution stopped Hotak from receiving any further promotions. He grew discontent with the People’s Republic, believing that he deserved more for his service. Seeing Nated's coup as an opportunity to rise to power, Kyff defected to the Liberation Army without hesitation.

Hotak organized his own unit of commando early into the war; a battalion trained in stealth operations. As a major proponent of irregular warfare, he also helped organize guerilla cells and coordinate terrorist attacks. The success of these groups granted him enough influence to become one of Nated's right-hand men. However, Commander Kyff quickly returned to his old ways; he started to wage a campaign of unrestrained terror. The presence of his soldiers became a harbinger of indiscriminate persecution, murder, excessive property requisition, and collective punishment against any community suspected of working with the enemy. Despite the protest of the civilian population and Commander Kahan, Halkiikijr refused to replace Kyff. Taking advantage of his reputation, Hotak ordered his Tajara to spread stories of him being the earthly manifestation of Messa's wrath. This tactic proved to be effective both among his enemies and allies.

Commander Kyff Hotak remains in service even after the armistice. Many within the army and the civilian administration desire to see Hotak punished for his war crimes, but Supreme Commander Nated continues to protect him. Kyff is a hardline supporter of the more authoritarian elements in the government and desires a strong centralized leadership above all else. He and Commander Hro'rammhad are rivals; both Tajara commonly fight each other over which direction the Liberation Army should go. Hotak is always accompanied by his pet [[Adhomai#Farwa (Tree-Hopper)|Farwa]], Ghiyath.

===President Almrah Harrlala===
[[File:harrlala portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the president during one of her speeches, done in 2461.]]
President Almrah Harrlala was born in '''2426''' to a family of Hharar factory workers in Shastar City. While her childhood was relatively unaffected by the First Revolution, she enjoyed many of the benefits brought by the People’s Republic during the interwar period. Being the first member of her household to receive a proper education, she became involved in the Party’s politics at a considerable young age. She believed that a stable democracy built upon the will of the people was the best path for Adhomai. She was also wary of the presence of megacorporations on the planet, considering their activities as harmful to the development of the Tajara species She campaigned for more worker’s rights and laws restricting corporation’s activities in the PRA. Almrah held a position within the Party until the ascension of President Njadrasanukii Hadii; he ordered the arrest of Harrlala due to her views.

Harrlala was held prisoner in Shastar during the first moments of the Civil war, only the capture of the city by the Liberation Army saved her from being transferred to another location. Hoping to continue her career in politics, she aligned herself with the rebels. Even if the despotic and extremist tendencies of the ALA worried Almrah, she held to Nated's promise of saving the Republic. She was given the position of Provisional Minister of Civil Rights when the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai was established.

As the Minister of Civil Rights, Almrah worked to protect the regional identities present in the DPRA. Her campaign to end military rule over the country while still upholding the principles of Al’mariism made her a popular figure among the moderate sectors of the population. Seeking to expand her political influence, she founded the National Adhomai Worker's Party. She was one of the candidates in the presidential elections of '''2460'''; she won the office of president by a narrow margin. President Harrlala’s ascension to power displeased the authoritarian wing of the Liberation Army, the military then planned a coup to restore their own rule. The putsch was stopped by the intervention of Supreme Commander Nated, who later resigned from his position to grant more powers to the civilian administration.

Following the Armistice, President Almrah Harrlala continued with her internal policies while maintaining a strong stance against foreign dominance. Under her rule, schools to preserve local cultures and languages were established, Gakal’zaal was liberated from the Unathi rule, and the DPRA developed its nuclear program. Her status as one of the first female rulers in modern Tajaran history has inspired many women to engage in DPRA politics. However, her regime is plagued with deep issues. The ghost of separatism lingers over the nation after the Amohdan attempt to secede. Her ability to reconcile the various factions in the government was severely doubted when she failed to draw a plan to handle the rebellious island. Since the return of Halkiikijr to power, the authoritarian elements see this as a moment of weakness in the young Republic. President Harrlala must be ready to face further opposition if she wants to see her vision of Adhomai come to life.

===Ex-interim President Brajrr Alnadruskiy===

Born in '''2423''' in the city of Mztel’mir, Brajjr Alnadruskiy was the youngest child of a family of brewers. He later joined the Republican Army at 17 years old, slowly climbed the ranks through diligent service to the military. Brajrr attributed the prosperity of interwar Adhomai to the strong leadership of President Al’mari; he believed that the Republic always needed a strongman in control to succeed. He severely doubted Malik’s competence because of his decision to undo his brother’s reform.

Brajrr finally rose to prominence with Nated's coup. Upon hearing of the revolution, he rallied the Liberation Army’s aligned troops in Das’nrra to assault Shastar. Alnadruskiy's attack was successful and he was named the Rrhaza-Akhran of the city. Shastar became the headquarter of the ALA, giving Brajrr a reasonable amount of influence within the army high command. He was known for his rigorous discipline and unforgiving nature. Many war prisoners were forced into labor by his orders. Brajrr was given the position of Interim President when the Democratic People’s Republic was created.

Alnadruskiy ran for president in the 2460 elections, seeking to centralize the nation and maintain the Army’s sway over the government. He founded the Free Tajaran People’s Party, gathering the most authoritarian elements in the Republic. After Almrah Harrlala’s victory by a narrow margin, he took part in the putsch against the newly elected president. Despite the defeat of the mutiny, Brajrr managed to convince Halkiikijr that he was forced by the extremists to join them. He was released and allowed to return to politics.

Ex-interim President Brajjr Alnadruskiy now leads the opposition to Harrlala’s regime. He continues to support a centralized state under the leadership of Supreme Commander Nated. Even when the successes of the current administration displease him, their latest crisis has given him enough to challenge Almrah. The return of Halkiikijr to the control of the Army is also considered a victory for him and his followers. Alnadruskiy awaits for the right moment of weakness to retake control of the DPRA.

===Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar===

The first and thus far only incident of weapons of mass destruction being employed on Adhomai happened in 2458, when the People’s Republic dropped a four-megaton nuclear bomb on the Liberation Army base in Quizosa. The death toll from the detonation was staggering, but the fallout from the bomb was carried on strong winds, leading to severe cases of radiation poisoning from the neighboring camps.

Tajara medical experience with radiation poisoning and the effects of nuclear bombs were practically non-existent. The only species in the galaxy that had the technology long before the Tajara were Xenos, and the Liberation Army did not have the luxury of free contact with extraplanetary forces. With the sick and dying mounting, a call for help was sent out to the surrounding territories. Many physicians and doctors made the long and difficult journey in the winter snows to help - at the forefront of them, Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar.

The effects of the bomb were catastrophic. Survivors were badly burned. Their fur fell out, never to grow back again - leaving them susceptible to Adhomai’s frigid temperatures. Their skin peeled off in sickly ribbons, hanging limply to the ground. Doctors were at a loss, with only a rudimentary understanding of what could have happened. Dr. Aleksandra took a sort of unofficial command of the medical effort, and coordinated efforts to assist the sick and dying.

Liberation-sympathetic Tajara, at her prodding, recovered as many documents as they could regarding the atom bomb from PRA-aligned holdings, downloading information from the extranet and thieving textbooks from high-security locations. Thanks to her ingenuity and leadership, the haphazard medical team of doctors saved a great many innocents from a slow, painful death - though they would have to live with the effects of the bomb for the rest of their lives. Dr. Aleksandra is widely known for her opposition to nuclear proliferation, due to her experiences, and has become the face of a growing anti-WMD movement across Ras’narr.

===Arzjun Haurjuhrl===

Rumors persist that Arzjun Haurjuhrl was sired out of wedlock, a result of an affair between a Zhan-Khazan mistress and a rebel leader. He was born in '''2427''' in the warmer regions near the city of Olska, and lived alone with his mother. He was scarcely a child when the war ended and the People’s Republic came to prominence. Both he and his mother suffered much in the way of discrimination - for being Zhan-Khazan as well as having a bastard child. This disconnect between what the People’s Republic promised and the way they were treated caused the young Arzjun to become disillusioned with the Republic.

He was further tested when his mother suddenly fell ill and died in the winter of 2445. With nothing left tying him down, abandoned as he had been by Adhomain society, he took what little funds they had been saving and paid a smuggler to carry him off-world. It took every penny but eventually, he found himself in Mendell City, carrying nothing but the clothes on his back. For a time, he lived on the streets, forced to beg to make ends meet. He soon found work at one of the shelters he had often stayed at. The community of Little Adhomai was more welcoming to him than the homeworld had been.

Deciding to pay back the kindness he received, he took part in many community outreach programs, including plays and dramas for the children of Little Adhomai. His passion for the arts as a medium of expression took root here, and his name rose to some prominence amongst the local Tajara population thanks to his charity work. He aspired to work on his own big picture and got his chance thanks to the collective donations of many Tajara. Wealthy Xenos also had an interest in seeing what the immigrant could do, though perhaps a few thought it would look good as a public relations move.

The script he wrote went through many revisions and sat for a good while before it was picked up by a studio. The community who had helped him before had done it once again; the surprise blockbuster When Summer Came to Nazira was one of the top ten highest-grossing films in Biesel history. Its anti-tyranny message was seen by some as an expression of the director’s own viewpoint on the People’s Republic. In some ways, they were correct - Arzjun is a quiet supporter of the DPRA, which has put him at odds with the Republican government. As a result, his film is banned from showing on Adhomai - though this has not stopped smuggled copies from being distributed amongst DPRA theaters.

==New Kingdom==

''"Loyal subjects, countrymen, brothers. It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that we must conscript from the provinces in order to maintain our fight in this war. However, you are not alone. Even as the new compulsory service legislature is passed, the aristocrats across the kingdom are likewise mobilized under a new service gentry system, so that all of the Kingdom is together in this struggle."''

''- King Vahzirathaamro Azunja, announcing the beginning of conscription and formalization of the service gentry in 2453.''

=== King Vahzirthaamro Azunja===

King Azunja was born in 2400 in the city of Kaltir to the noble Njarir’Akhran Azunja line. His father was Farkhanzirhal and his mother Dramahdarmah. Located in the far reaches of Kaltir, the Azunja family line was one of compassion and fair treatment, as only in unity and brotherhood could they hope to survive the harsh far reaches of Northern Adhomai. Their peasants were kept well and treated with dignity, and the nobles, while privileged, never indulged in cruelty. A noble paige since the age of 10, Vahzirthaamro excelled in reading and writing from an early age. He prepared to inherit the family throne as the sole son of his parents until the first civil war of Adhomai ignited in 2421.

When war broke out between the nobility and peasants, house Azunja was hesitant to pick sides, as they disagreed with the morals of both sides. Their distant position in the wild made them capable of ignoring the war until its end, as the Hadii family was placed at the head of Adhomai in 2432. Carrying the flags of the newly founded People's Republic of Adhomai, the Republic's army demanded the surrender of all nobility in Kaltir. The entire populace requested to be left in peace, as the peasantry and nobility there had never declared war on one another. Believing the peasants were utterly spineless and brainwashed, the People's Republic executed all current nobles ruthlessly, scattering the royalty of the region. Vahzirthaamro was placed in prison by his father's retinue of intellectuals, who declared he had to remain hidden amongst the lowest of the low if he wished to stay alive. From that moment on, Vahzirthaamro Azunja knew that peace was impossible so long as a compromise was not made, and a true constitutional monarchy was made the unanimous government on Adhomai.

Word passed amongst the Tajara at the work camps about the possibility that Vahzirthaamro still lived as many pre-war intellectuals gathered with him in private. They spun every possibility of a government, even discussing adopting human political systems as they gathered workers, fighters, poets, and philosophers to form an organized nation as they spread their ideas to the guards of the facility, a majority of which who were old peasants under the Azunja family who thought the entirety of the nobility had been executed. Delighted to see his return, they joined his side and swore allegiance to his family once more.

In 2449, in the middle of the night, Vahzirthaamro was released in secret along with the entirety of his retinue, as they quickly spread from town to town, asking for assistance from newly appointed officials and workers. Before long, the reminiscent families of the Kaltir region were happy to rejoin their flock. By 2450 his claim to rule had spread to all of Northern Harr'masir, and the New Kingdom of Adhomai officially seceded as an independent nation under the newly declared King Vahzirthaamro Azunja. He then led the Kingdom for the next decade, managing the balance between the different factions within the government and the ongoing war. Vahzirthaamro became a unifying figure for the population. After successfully securing Kaltir's ancient lands and negotiating the armistice that brought the end to the war, King Vahzirthaamro passed away in 2463. His niece, Shumaila Azunja, inherited his throne.

===Queen Shumaila Azunja===

Shumaila Azunja was born in 2431 in Northern Harr’smirr, as the daughter of one of the kingdom’s princes. She survived the Republican slaughter by being hidden away among the peasantry, raised in secret by individuals still loyal to the old ruling dynasty. From a young age, Shumaila began to participate in secretive royalist circles within Kaltir. Here, she began her service to the kingdom by helping distribute leaflets proclaiming the coming of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. When the uprising broke out in 2450, she joined the new Imperial Adhomian Army. Shumaila then rose through the officer ranks quickly, becoming a commander in the Jabrut Almumalik and establishing a name for herself on the front.

Many of those who served under Shumaila describe her as being a woman of unbreakable will, never faltering as casualties stacked or as barrages shattered the ground around her. Some even say she wouldn’t even blink at the sight of the PRA’s dreaded tanks rolling towards the lines. For her exploits in the war’s 2459 offensive and the defense of the Vlrralkhzazhul line, Shumaila came to be known as “The Storm of Harr’smir”, matching her iron will with a burning fury to destroy the kingdom’s enemies.

In 2460, after meeting with several prospective heirs, King Vahzirthaamro had chosen his niece Shumaila to serve as the Crown Heir. Although the majority supported this decision alongside most of Parliament and the nobility, a large fraction remained wary of the decision of a military leader over other options. However, this opposition has shrunk over the past few years. Shumaila remains strong on her position of expanding the military, but she has also spoken about increasing ties to the galaxy’s Megacorporations to modernize the New Kingdom. Nor has she made any comments regarding changing the democratic systems of Parliament and the Chamber. Coupled with her public appearances and active presence in the newspapers, many woes and worries of her ascension have been dissuaded.

Since entering the public eye in 2459, Shumaila enjoys much support from the women of Kaltir. Many look to her as an inspiration, buying “military” style jackets to emulate her look, given that Shumaila became one of the few Tajara women to lead a nation. However, this fame has also led to calls from the nobility and her family to choose a husband. Shumaila retains that her marriage comes after her coronation. She was finally crowned in 2463 after King Azunja passed away. Outside of continuing her uncle's legacy, her plans to the Kingdom are still unclear to the wide public

===Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan===

Rrhazhal was born in '2380 to the noble Njarir’Akhran Zarkradar'Akhan line, however, he was a legitimized bastard of a Zhan-Kazan maid. As the youngest of his brothers, Rrhazhal was sent into the service of the Azunja family as King Farkhanzirhal Azunja's servant at the age of 10. King Azunja noticed the young child had a talent for philosophy and strategy. The two had many intellectual discussions together as Rrhazhal quickly became a trusted advisor of King Farkhanzirhal by the time he was 20. At this time, King Azunja decided he trusted Rrhazhal with protecting the life of the newly born Vahzirthaamro. On the eve of the First Civil War, Rrhazhal was tasked with training the peasantry of Kaltir in order to defend their fiefdom and nobility against attackers. When Kaltir was annexed by the People's Republic of Adhomai in 2432, Farkhanzirhal frenziedly ordered Rrhazhal to hide Vahzirthaamro before People's Republic soldiers stormed the palace, killing almost everyone. From then on Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan personally accompanied Vahzirthaamro Azunja as his protector and chief advisor.

In 2450, once the New Kingdom had officially declared independence from the People's Republic of Adhomai, Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan was promoted to the rank of Field-Marshal personally by King Azunja, and today oversees all military operations inside of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Respected for his tactical skill but notorious for his radical belief that a compromise is not possible and a complete return to the old nobility is Adhomai's only option for peace, Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan is one of the oldest fighting nobles left on Adhomai.

===Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas===
[[File:dynhaas portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A commissioned portrait of Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas from his book cover, done in 2463.]]
Hailing from a royal cadet line and born in 2402, Dynhaas followed his father and brothers to join the Das’nrra Empire’s navy at a young age. When the First Revolution came, naval losses coupled with the rebel conquest of Das’nnra resulted in Dynhaas, the last man left of his line, surrendering and being imprisoned. With the war’s end in 2432, Dynhaas was offered a pardon by the Party in exchange for developing the Republican Navy. He would come to accept this over the alternative of death.

Accepting his defeat and believing that the age of nobility came to an end, Dynhaas came to view the Republican Navy as his new purpose in life. He worked to advance it alongside other pardoned nobles and founded the Oceanmasters Lounge, a private club within the naval officer corps. This path in life would change with the announcement of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Believing that a way to restore the old glory days of kingdoms laid with the NKA, Dynhaas began to plan a revolt. Partnering with other sympathetic admirals, he had the Republican Navy’s Grand Admiral and several other loyalists killed on a fateful night at the Shastar Naval Base before fleeing eastwards in 2450. In the same year that the New Kingdom was declared, Dynhaas delivered them the strongest naval force Adhomai had ever seen. King Azunja had declared him the Kingdom’s Grand Admiral shortly after meeting with Dynhaas in Miran’mir.

With the Republican Navy's command almost crippled and the ALA unable to compete with their dominance of the sea, Dynhaas used his fleets during the war to support and supply the Royal Army while helping smash the enemies of the New Kingdom. The artillery barrages of his ships were important in coastal battles during the NKA's offensives while their supremacy saved the Royal Marines from certain destruction following the failed Ras'nrr expedition. The prestige of his position made Dynhaas an instant celebrity in the NKA as well. Many propaganda reels and photos showed him as a majestic lord of the sea, something he capitalized on heavily to present himself as the very pinnacle of noble glory. Always well-groomed, well-dressed, and impeccable at talking despite whatever circumstances he was in, Dynhaas never passed the opportunity to host an interview. Most notable was Dynhaas' interview on his opinions of xenos of the S'rand’marr coalition, conducted on his capital vessel while it sieged Nal'tor in the final stages of the war. His statements on Unathi and Skrell were less than positive. After the expulsion of the People's Republic from Harr'masir in 2461, Admiral Mahtra infamously ordered the Royal Navy to engage in an unrestricted bombardment campaign of the eastern Hadiist coast. Cities and villages were targets of frequent naval artillery strikes; the battleships shelled military and civilian targets indiscriminately. The Navy infamously used incendiary shells during these attacks, causing entire neighborhoods to be engulfed in firestorms.

Post-war, Dynhaas went on several speaking tours in the first year of the armistice. Traveling from city to city, his public events were used to promote his upcoming biography and drew crowds in the tens of thousands. Politically, he maintains that the future of the NKA always lies within the navy, and that the industry of the New Kingdom must always retain a heavy focus on their shipyards. Dynhaas has also been vocal in his beliefs of a stronger monarch, often using the emergency powers King Azunja had as an example of the strong benefits that could come with such. He is yet to comment at all on his supposed rival, Mira'zkui, at all.

===Grand Duke Akym Yudenikh===

Born in the Das'nrra Empire to a noble family in 2412, Akym Yudenikh survived the First Revolution by escaping to Northern Harr'masir and hiding his identity. After the Hadiist occupation of the Kingdom of Kaltir, Yudenikh joined the People's Republic bureaucracy; he became responsible for the administration of the local rail system. Akym was infamous for his corruption; he frequently sold permits, disregarded contraband reports, and accepted bribes.

Because of his background, Akym was contacted by the underground royalist movement. He quickly became one of the main supporters of the group; he used his position within the Hadiist government to secure supplies and funding for the incoming uprising. Weapons, machinery, and ammunition were diverted to the Royalist cells. Akym was awarded the title of baron, a seat in the parliament, and some land confiscated from the People's Republic when Vahzirthaamro returned. However, his ambitions did not stop there. Using the money made from his time as a Republican bureaucracy, alongside whatever profit he could extract from his new holdings, Yudenikh continued to acquire more estate. Newly liberated farms were sold to him at a meager price thanks to his connections within the government. In a question of years, he became a Grand Duke and one of the major landowners of the New Kingdom. Akym controversially used prisoners of war as workers in his plantations during the Second Revolution as part of deals with the military.

Following the Armistice, Akym Yudenikh now leads the Royalist Party; his main mission is to maintain the status quo. The continuation of the constitutional monarchy and the privileges of the nobility align perfectly with his interests. He is one of the major supporters of further deals with megacorporations. Grand Duke Akym is not afraid to use his position to protect his interest in the parliament. Under his vision, prosperity for the New Kingdom means more power and wealth to its elite.

===Prince Serhiy Oliinyk===

Born as the third son to a family of Njarir'Akhran in 2434, Serhiy Oliinyk's life was profoundly affected by events over which he had no control. Raised in a household of avid royalists supporters, Serhiy was exposed to his parents' ideology since his youth. However, the boy had his reservations in regards to the possible return of the monarchy; he doubted that they could truly avoid the mistakes of the past. For his support during the uprising in Northern Harr'masir, the patriarchy of the Oliinyk family was given a seat in the parliament, a title of nobility, and a modest tract of land. Serhiy mistakenly believed that he could escape his bloodline's obligation thanks to his status as the third child. He already had a passion in his life: playing the P'rrama.

The war was cruel to the Oliinyk. Serhiy's brothers were killed while serving the army. This put him in an uneasy position as the heir of a parliamentary seat. The growing debt forced his father to sell whatever land they had left; the Oliinyk had officially joined the ranks of landless nobility. The final blow came in 2459 with the bombing of the Parliament; Serhiy inherited his progenitor's seat after his demise in the attack. The young musician was thrown into the midst of the New Kingdom's politics. Influenced by his social status and beliefs, he aligned himself to the Commoners Party.

If he is truly unable to escape his fate, Prince Serhiy decided to make the best out of it. Because of his age and a family full of martyrs, Serhiy became the Commoners Party's main spokesperson. Convincing the Queen to support the Populists will not be easy; the Conservatives and Absolutists are far more powerful and influential. A powerful strategy is necessary to guarantee the Commoners Party triumph in the parliament. Serhiy plans to retire from politics after the hereditary parliamentary positions are abolished and the Kingdom is fairer to its population. He hopes to return to his greatest passion: music.

===Count Tscherim Sanguszkho===

Hailing from a cadet house of the Rrhakaslov dynasty, Tscherim Sanguszkho was born in 2433 shortly after his family escaped to Kaltir to avoid the First Revolution's massacres. He was raised on a small farm frequented by disposed nobles and royalist sympathizers. Sheltered from the rest of Adhomai, he grew only knowing the world only through the nostalgic tales of pre-contact Njarir'Akhran, The Sanguszkho family was quick to offer their support to King Azunja when he returned; the Tscherim's father was given a seat in the parliament. Tscherim became a low-ranking officer in the army.

Tscherim Sanguszkho's military career came to an end in 2460 when he was gravely wounded in combat. Taking advantage of his pension and family's position, Tscherim spent the next years in gentlemen's clubs. In these places, he entered into contact with radical Absolute Royalists and became deeply interested in [[Tajaran Minor Religions#Ancient Tajara Theory|esoteric beliefs]]. Tscherim founded his organization in 2462: the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity. Drawing inspiration from the stories of an idealized pre-First Contact society, the ideology known as Revival Royalism was born from the Fraternity's meetings. Posing as a regular club, Tscherim was able to introduce other nobles to his ideals. Knowing that the task of enforcing the old order was not an easy one, Sanguszkho chose a common enemy to unite the kingdom against: the Tajara of mixed heritage.

Tscherim's plan came to fruition when his father died in a car accident in 2463; he inherited a landed title, a state, and a seat in the Parliament. Shortly after, the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity opened its membership to the public and made its intentions clear. Thanks to a deal with the Officers and Royal parties, the Fraternity became the fourth faction in the Parliament. Despite being the leader of the smallest Party, Count Tscherim has already begun to plot to slowly introduce his ideology into the New Kingdom.

===Ser Mrakhanjurl Ii'rka===

Mrakhanjurl was born in 2422 in a Zhan-Khazan family in a small village outside Olska. He received little education nor traveled far outside his village. As soon as he came of age at 16 he joined the rest of the village mining bauxite ore to be shipped to Olska to make aluminum. He eventually lost both parents to lung cancer from the mine's poor ventilation before he was 23. In 2452, when he was 29, he traveled with a dozen other Zhan-Khazan miners several miles to Olska to join a protest against the new legislation of President Hadii that was meant to crack down 'subversive elements' that many felt were unfair to Zhan-Khazan. The army was called in and brutally repressed the demonstration, which saw Mrakhanjurl narrowly escape with his life. He returned to his village to find that it had been torched by the republican army for housing subversive agitators.

Mrakhanjurl mourned the loss of his village and was picked up by rebel militia, who revealed that they had managed to provide early warning to the village and evacuate over a dozen people, but the army had managed to find and kill all but a handful of survivors. In gratitude for the rebels dying for his village, and to avenge the deaths, Mrakhanjurl joined the armed resistance that eventually joined itself under the New Kingdom of Adhomai. In a very short few years became a remarkable marksman, gaining the most recorded kills of any Tajara sniper. Current New Kingdom estimates put Mrakhanjurl's kill count at 285, 32 of those enemy PRA snipers.

Mrakhanjurl also managed to evacuate countless civilians from Republic territory to northern New Kingdom holdings. During the famous ''Rout of the 2nd Battalion'', in which New Kingdom defenders unsuccessfully attempted to prevent Republican forces from capturing Baltor, Mrakhanjurl assumed command of the 4th Company after both its leading officers had been killed by sniper fire. Despite a serious gunshot wound to the leg Mrakhanjurl began shouting orders and rallied the shattered defenders, who were the last line of defense between the advancing Republic forces and thousands of refugees attempting to flee the city. The ''Rally of the 4th Company'' on 2456 successfully managed to delay advancing Republic troops long enough for thousands of more refugees to escape into New Kingdom territory who would otherwise face atrocity.

For his bravery and growing fame (which was now considered too important to risk in the war effort), Mrakhanjurl was given the Order of the Victorious Sun, the highest honor in the New Kingdom, as well as being the first Zhan-Khazan in history to be given the noble rank of Ser. He remains a hero to the Zhan-Khazan and the New Kingdom.

===King of the Mountains Rustam Harmaliik===
[[File:harmaliik portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the king in his riding regalia, done in 2454.]]
Rustam Harmaliik was born in 2427 as the son of a deposed Njarir'Akhran noble family. He spent most of his youth in the rural region of Harr'masir, where he had contact with some groups of Rhazar'Hrujmagh that inhabited the region. As an adult, he found employment in law enforcement and was sent by the People’s Republic to support the efforts to settle the rock nomads of the Harr’masir region in 2448 as a Republican official.

While working alongside the authorities to make sure that the nomadic Zhan would accept and adopt a sedentary lifestyle, Rustam grew more interested in their culture and became skeptical of the Hadii’s regime and how they were treating the Rock Nomads. Unrest among the Rhazar'Hrujmagh soon followed, and Rustam would try to offer his support in any way possible, such as sabotaging equipment shipment or relaying misleading intelligence. The government soon realized his treason, forcing Rustam to abandon his post and escape into the wilderness.

Rustam found shelter among a caravan of the Rhazar'Hrujmagh, and soon adopted their way of life. Unrest and resistance continued among the rock nomads, and Harmaliik joined their struggle against the People’s Republic. With the New Kingdom’s rebellion, the control of the region waned and the Republican efforts shifted to other problems, which allowed the nomad resistance to blossom into guerrilla warfare. Rustam climbed the ranks of his caravan’s forces, winning prestige and favor by leading them against the Republican forces.

The second revolution happened, and the Rhazar'Hrujmagh resistance continued. Rustam assumed the leadership of his adopted caravan and aimed to acquire more support among the other Rock Nomads. Through the years of the conflict, he gathered more men and wagons under his command, through diplomacy or conquest, but limiting himself to defensive tactics, ambushes, and raids. The political stance of Harmaliik has always been one of neutrality in the conflict, never compromising fully with the Adhomai Liberation army, due to his Njarir’Akhran origins and monarchist sentiments, and never declaring any support to the New Kingdom, in fear of losing the trust of his fellow nomads,

Due to a republican offensive against the nomadic guerrillas in 2461, Rustam decided to declare himself the Almalik’Rhazar, a word roughly translated as "leader of the mountains", following an ancient nomadic tradition that allows the largely independent Rock Nomad caravans to elect a ruler among themselves. This decision alienated him from his ALA allies and the other nomads, forcing him to side with the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Harmaliik and his caravans have joined the kingdom war effort. He and his people were later granted the southeast territories of the New Kingdom for their support during the conflict.

===Brother Mikhail Ordau===
Little is known about Mikhail Oradu’s parentage. He was given to the Parivara at a very young age, left on the doorstep of Miran'mir's abbey. Thus the Family took him in as they do many small children, teaching him and educating him about S’rendarr and Messa. Mikhail was an accomplished writer for his age, but a speech impediment left him at a disadvantage when it came to oral presentations. The boy was known to be bookish, and spent much of his free time in the abbey’s library as well as its restricted section, thanks to his close friendship with the abbot.

He had an unusual interest in the sciences for a clergyman. As the Second Revolution loomed ahead, and whispers of splitting from the Republic crept into the local city, he busied himself with reading and tending to the monastery’s garden. Eventually, Miran’mir and all of northern Harr’masir split from the Republic to form the New Kingdom. With the war came plenty of hardship, and the Priests of S’rendarr did their best to help alleviate the tragedy amongst the peasants.

With little farmable land and a severe manpower disadvantage, the New Kingdom struggled to provide for its people. Starvation was a very real threat, and the abbey’s garden was not sufficient. A conflicted Mikhail turned once again to the abbey’s library and science for an answer; and, as though a miracle from the Suns themselves, one came. He discovered an ancient text detailing breeding methods for slaves, from long before the First Revolution. Suggestions on how to pass on desirable traits and mannerisms; to breed subservience. Controversial, but an unknowing descriptor of genetics and hereditary traits.

It was armed with this knowledge that Mikhail set about breeding new plants. Earthen roots, dirt berries, and more were cultivated for generations by Mikhail, aiming to pass on traits like hardiness and vitality. The plants became much more accustomed to growing in harsh conditions thanks to his work, and as the New Kingdom pushed back the Republicans and gained more territory, these hardier plants were easier to grow in the shell-shocked muddy battlefields. The threat of starvation became less and less pressing as more and more farms could deal with the way the war affected the terrain. For his efforts, Brother Mikhail was afforded a personal audience with the King.

===Oleg Al'Mor===
Born Oleg Murkov Al-Al’Mori in 2400, Oleg was a teenager when humanity stumbled upon the Tajara. His simple life of working and indentured servitude was suddenly upended with the influx of new ideals; he and his family, along with a contingent of other refugees of war avoided the conflicts erupting across the planet by staying in the mountains of Northern Harr’masir. To pass the time and keep themselves entertained, the telling of fireside epics became common. Oleg was noted to be imaginative with his tales even then, regaling other Tajara with stories of war and love.

Eventually, however, the nomadic hunter-gatherer life in the mountains could no longer support their numbers, and Oleg’s group descended from their hiding place. By this point, rebel armies had mostly taken hold of Kal’tir and the surrounding areas, giving Oleg relative freedom. When the war finally came to an end in 2432, Oleg was well known as a traveling bard and performer who earned his living using his creative skills entertaining war-weary soldiers and newly freed slaves. The stability that came with the formation of the People’s Republic afforded Oleg the opportunity to settle down in Kal’tir once again, where he took an interest in the local theater scene.

His first play, The Jester’s End, pioneered the form of black comedy and was a throwback to the days of servitude. Over the course of his career in Kal’tir, Oleg penned many more plays under his pseudonym Oleg Al’Mor, out of fear of inviting reprisals from the People’s Republic. Oleg’s plays were often scandalous or controversial for challenging the traditional morality held by Tajara. However, as time went on, his works became formulaic and much less shocking, and thus by extension more palatable to the average Tajara. Black comedy found a good home amongst the countless war veterans of the First Revolution.

Oleg considered himself an intellectual, and when the New Kingdom of Adhomai split from the People’s Republic he was an outspoken supporter. He and his family had experienced the benefits of the old ways, and with his considerable wealth from play royalties, he financed the New Kingdom with donations. Sadly, Oleg Al’Mor passed away in December of 2460 after completing his final work. The play, titled A Maiden’s Voyage, was particularly well-received, with even the King himself getting a private showing. Many of his works are still performed in theaters all over the New Kingdom’s territory.

==Others==

===Father Valyan K'rrirran===

''"From the stars, he saw Adhomai's cities and mountains become nothing more than specks. When he beheld the planet from far away, he realized that it was a small dot within this vast new galaxy. It was then he saw how truly special our homeland and our people are."''

''-Father Valyan K'rrirran, written as the ending to the prologue in his novel "An Introduction to The Twin Suns", 2430.''

Born in 2406 to a family of merchants in Dras’nrra, Valyan chose to join the faith at a young age, and became a fully-fledged Priest of S'rendarr in the midst of the First Revolution. It was during this time that Valyan had also become one of the first few Tajara to leave Adhomai. Settling on Xanu Prime in 2426 and remaining there until the war’s end in 2431, Valyan provided much of the first glimpses into the theology of the Tajara during this time. He, later on, returned home after publishing his novel written in Tau Ceti Basic on the history of the S’rendarr and Messa. Following the Second Revolution, he had replaced Walid Al’qat as The Father of the Parivara after Al’qat died of heart failure. Since gaining his position in 2462 the new Father has already demonstrated to Adhomai that he is able to rise to the task of leading the Parivara. Alongside his archivers, he had revealed misinterpretations in the vows of the Suns Sisters and amended the Vow of Silence to the original Vow of Whispers.

The Father has kept this momentum of progress going forward. In the same year, he began to assist with several archeological digs across Adhomai to gather more information on not just the history of the Suns faith, but also of the Tajara people. Much of this collection is digitalized and shared through a newly developed site (Simply dubbed “Parivara and Tajara History.pra”.) made by an influx of well-educated acolytes. Now, any curious Tajara or alien can find a trove of information on the Parivara and new details on the species’ history. This mix of preserving old traditions alongside progressing aspects of the church has made Valyan popular among the younger generations of Tajara, kindling their interest in the faith.

However, Valyan is not free of controversy. Some conspiracy theorists believe that he could have had a hand in the death of the previous Father, citing the lack of provided medical care and the quick selection of Valyan as the new Father. Others point to his connection to the revitalized Kin of S’rendarr and believe him to be funding the Kin, supplying them with off-world equipment and arms to continue their war against whoever is deemed the faith’s enemy. Nonetheless, these are regarded as little more than baseless rumors by much of the population.

===Rikdar Al'Manq===

Rikdar was born on '''2429''' the noble Njarir’Akhran Bayan line in Nal'Tor, with Bayan being his birth name. However, his parents were disappeared by Republic secret police in one of the frequent purges of Njarir’Akhran and he was put into state-run foster care. He has raised in the ''House Of Young Patriots'' orphanage until he was adopted at 14 to Hharar parents and took their last name of Al'Manq. As he was going to school his parents and teachers immediately took notice of his artistic abilities and interest in painting, which the orphanage had initially tried to discourage. In 2446, when he was 18, Rikdar won an art contest where he submitted a portrait of his Environmental Geology teacher and gained a prestigious scholarship in the Nal'Tor University of The Arts, a state-funded institution.

Rikdar attended the university for several years, though his studies were sometimes interrupted or delayed by the periodic waves of anti-Njarir’Akhran demonstrations and violence that gripped the campus. However, he quickly became a prodigy amongst his peers. Al'Manq's style of oil painting and doing portraits became a sensation in the capital, with the mayor and several city officials requesting their portraits done. Rikdar graduated from university at 20 years old in '''2450''' with a Bachelor of Arts. Having already received several high-profile commissions, including the then-President Al'Mari Hadii, whose portrait was done a week before his death. Al'Manq managed to survive the resulting chaos across Adhomai following the assassination of Al'Mari Hadii by the nature of his celebrity status, but his popularity remains confined within the major cities.

At only 29 years old in '''2458''' the ''Al'Manq Style'' has already become a famous style of painting across Adhomai. The Al'Manq Style is noted for its use of rich oil-based paint that focuses on portraits and profiles. The colors are often bold or show rich texture and color. The hands of Tajara are painted without being anatomically correct. Critics blast Al'Manq's apparent inability to draw hands correctly but Rikdar has stated that it's his personal style. This has influenced other artists, and many attempting to pay homage to Al'Manq draw hands as stubby. Rikdar remains extremely popular on Adhomai. The People's Republic remains a quiet supporter of his work, and state officials pay him handsome commissions for their portraits to be done, though they frown on him taking commissions from New Kingdom officials as well. The Adhomai Liberation Army has painted Rikdar as just another nobleman and several members of the Liberation Army have given open contempt for his work.

===Bloodstorm===

Bloodstorm is a famous and infamous DPRA Heavy Metal Band that has surged in popularity with the younger “denier” generation. Those in this generation are categorized not only by refusing the current status quo, but also have a general disdain towards a complete return to Tajara roots or liberalization through corporations. Fans of this band are usually punks, anarchists,s and jaywalkers. While the band mostly operated inside the DPRA, during one of their galactic tours their citizenships were revoked, making it impossible for them to return to Adhomai. They currently preside in Mendell City.

====Vargir Stenovich “Godslayer”====

The lead guitarist of the group, Vargir Stenovich is known as the spokesperson of the band and the most controversial figures. Admitting to being a Raskara cultist in public and calling out the Parivara on their “bedding with the government”. Vargir has been involved in numerous scandals including protesting military parades, playing one of his songs next to a work camp without permission, and lastly ingesting drugs on live television and proceeding to slander the ALA for bombing the NKA parliament.
[[File:Al-Atil.png|200px|thumb|right|Photo of Al-Atil at the Mztel'Mir concert, "War Is Fuck, Let's Do It", circa 2459.]]

====Janos Al-Lung “Drowner”====

Janos is the bassist of Bloodstorm and the only band member without a criminal record. He has frequently butted heads with Stenovich over the political extremities the band goes through to discredit not only PRA and NKA but also DPRA. Janos Al-Lung is currently the only member of Bloodstorm that is trying to re-apply for a DPRA citizenship.

====Al-Atil Csihar “Nightmaster”====

The vocalist, Al-Atil, is known for his “mrowl”, a high, long, yelp that is recorded as the loudest sound produced by a Tajara. He loves to interact with the public and often stays behind on the podium to sign autographs and fans using black or red spray paint.

====Cecil Kernov “Bloodletter”====

Cecil is the Drummer and has actually served time, unlike the other band members. Kernov has his nickname for a reason as he’s been charged with armed assault during his youth, which is how he met with Vargir. Later in life, he was arrested again, after he had brutally assaulted a fan who had climbed on stage with a drum, getting it stuck on said Tajara’s head and pushing him off the stage with a dropkick. This led to multiple fractures and long-term disabilities for the fan.

====The Mist “Mih”====

A yet unknown band member by the public, “Mih” remains anonymous always wearing a mask in public and never speaking. He plays the P'rrama, an old Tajara string instrument, with 8 strings mirrored in a long horn-like pipe that extends to the ground which emits a loud, brass twanging noise described as an over-amped guitar. "Mih" has been under investigation multiple times, however, the enigmatic member always manages to avoid the authorities.

'''Most Notable Albums Include:'''

''The Freezing Blizzard'' - An early, human metal-inspired album. "The Mih" was not a member at this time and the music avoids political messaging, mostly focused on heavy guitar riffs.

''War Is Fuck, Let's Do It'' - The "central" album of the band that rocketed them to popularity. Its anti-war messages resonated with a lot of the younger audiences who were tired of the usual acoustic and traditional sorrowful performances, preferring this new aggressive style.

''If Messa Was Here She'd Be a Whore'' - A distinctly anti-Parivara album, attacking their behavior towards women and female priests. The Mih joins the band around this time, employing the now-iconic P'rrama. While initially released to negative reviews, it slowly became a fan favorite.

''We Live in a Society'' - A very hateful album, attacking every faction on Adhomai, including the human Sol and Nanotrasen and their presence there.

''Shell In, Spine Out'' - Another anti-war album, the band's first attempt to create a narrative album describing the life of a dying soldier. Received both negatively and positively by the fans.

''S'rrendar Loves You Except He Doesn't'' - The critique of Parivara escalates in this album, would remain unnotable if it wasn't for the recording of Cecil attacking a fan with the drum.

''If You're Old You Should Die'' - A call to arms, actively encouraging the younger generations to overthrow the current system and drag all the politicians down. For many, this was a return to form, but also most likely the album that led to Bloodstorm's exile from the DPRA.

[[Tajara|Tajaran]] history and society has a long list of notable individuals and heroes that are known across [[Adhomai]].

==People's Republic==

''"Comrades, in this struggle we fight to protect the progress we have fought so hard to make in the preceding decades. Our march forever onwards for a Hadiist society must not be stopped by the usurpers who would see us become a brutish military dictatorship, nor those fetid imperialists who would restore the atrocities of the old ways."''

''- President Njadrasanukii Hadii, in a televised address to the people in 2452.''
===President Njadrasanukii Hadii===

[[File:Hadii portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the president, done in 2460.]]
Njadrasanukii Hadii, also known as Malik Hadii, was born in '''2402''' to the noble Njarir'Akhran Hadii line. His mother was Rajjurl Hadii, and his father Tajrhalrr Hadii. He got involved with the military at an early age, becoming a cadet for the Royal Navy at 16 and achieving a commission as a Lieutenant-Commander at 22, and leading his own destroyer as a Captain at 29. During the revolution, he briefly fought for the loyalists but was recalled to the Hadii Citadel to help defend his family's ancestral home. Following the revolution and the Hadii's rise in the new Federal Republic, Njadrasanukii was given the office of Vice-President under his brother Al'Mari Hadii.

Malik assumed the presidency in '''2451''' after the assassination of Al'mari. He continued his brother's early agenda of collaborating with NanoTrasen and other galactic powers. Njadrasanukii purged any suspicious elements from his administration after the Nated's coup, consolidating his power through the imprisonment and execution of anyone that threatened his regime. Further authoritarian measures were established by him; the expansion of the secret police, the rapid industrialization of the PRA, and further persecution against those who did not conform to his policies. Under Malik Hadii's control, the current form of Hadiism took shape; an ideology focused on the creation of a monolithic Tajaran culture under the unquestionable guidance of the Hadii political line. The office of the president had its powers largely expanded under his rule, allowing Njadrasanukii to control all aspects of the People's Republic government. Total loyalty to Njadrasanukii is expected from all Party members.

A state-endorsed cult of personality has been established around President Hadii. Through a robust propaganda system, republican citizens are informed daily about Malik's achievements and how only through his guidance the Republican can prosper. Portraits of President Hadii can be found in most Hadiist homes and government buildings. Njadrasanukii is known for his speeches praising his own administration and the bravery of his people; his voice can be heard frequently on the radio. While many admire him as a strong leader, others fear his ruthless ways of dealing with the opposition.

President Hadii is famous for his extreme paranoia. Very few high-ranking members of the Party have direct access to him and little is known about his private life. He is constantly surrounded by hand-picked members of the secret service; those bodyguards are always under the risk of being purged for any reason. It is rumored that he has survived more than three hundred assassination attempts.

Despite the outcome of the Second revolution, Njadrasanukii continues to rule the People's Republic with an iron grip. He did not give up his plans of reestablishing Hadiist hegemony over Adhomai.
[[File:headmaster portrait.png|200px|thumb|left|A rare picture of the camera shy Tyr'adrr, taken during the closure of an illegal protest, dated to 2459.]]
===Headmaster Harrrdanim Tyr'adrr===

Harrrdanim was born in '''2425''' to a M'sai family serving the Hadii during the First Revolution. Wishing to follow in the footsteps of his parents, he joined the Hadiist Party at a young age. He soon caught the attention of the People's Strategic Intelligence Service due to his craftiness and was given a position in the agency. Despite enjoying moderate success during the late years of Al’mari’s rule, Tyr'adrr rose to prominence after the President’s assassination. Leading several purges within the secret service, he was able to secure a promotion as the Headmaster after the previous head was arrested for suspicious behavior. Under Tyr’addr’s control, the PSIS became the feared terror machine it is today. Heavy investments in surveillance technology, the establishment of a robust web of informants, and the large-scale repression of political opponents greatly weakened the opposition in the People’s Republic. His supposed adventures during this period have spawned an entire "spy thriller" genre in the Republic.

After helping secure President Hadii's rule, Headmaster Harrdanim focused his efforts on fighting the Liberation Army and the New Kingdom. Ruthless anti-partisan campaigns were carried out under his supervision. The displacement of Chaniska’s native population, scorched-earth tactics in Northern Ras'nrr, and the creation of Try'urma Penitentiary were among some of his orders during the conflict. His actions during the Second Revolution earned him the reputation of being merciless and bloodthirsty. In spite of several assassination attempts, ALA agents failed to murder him and he continued his reign of terror unimposed.

Even after the Armistice, Headmaster Harrdanim continues to work tirelessly to undermine the enemies of the Republic. He has a large interest in securing the Tajara population living outside of Adhomai and is responsible for the PSIS presence in District Six. He is eager to suggest more authoritarian solutions and believes in increasing, even more, the state’s control over the population. Because of the role of the Strategic Service in the government, Tyr'adrr is one of the most powerful and hated Tajara in the People's Republic. While seemingly loyal to President Hadii, many in the Party fear where Tyr'adrr's ambition might lead him.

===Party Secretary Yakiv Hadii===

Yakiv Hadii was born in '''2412''' as the second cousin to President Hadii. While too young to take part in the First Revolution, Yakiv joined the Hadiist Party as soon as he could. During Njadrasanukii’s rule, he excelled as a bureaucrat due to his organizational skills. He managed the distribution of land and the establishment of communal farms during the Republican Agrarian reforms. Through a combination of political maneuvers and nepotism, he quickly climbed the Party's ranks. Yakiv sought to further the Republican relationship with NanoTrasen, seeking their support for the development of Adhomai. This stance caused him to lose Al’mari’s favor during the years leading to the Second Revolution. He was then demoted to an unimportant position in the Ministry of Agriculture.

Yakiv returned to prominence after Rhagrrhuzau’s assassination; he was seen as a way to link Malik’s rule to his now-deceased brother. Following the abolishment of the office of vice-president, Yakiv was promoted as the Party Secretary by Njadrasanukii. He became responsible for the internal organization and reviewing applications to the Party; he was quick to remove many of his political opponents from power using his new powers. Known as unquestionably loyal to President Hadii, he became infamous for being nothing but a yes man. He continued his policy of maintaining good relations with megacorporations, lobbying for more deals with NanoTrasen. Countless Tajara were given the opportunity to leave Adhomai due to his efforts, most sold as cheap labor while some others were able to acquire higher education. During the final stages of the war, he was one of the main proponents of the need for foreign intervention to save the People's Republic.

After the Armistice, Yakiv remained as Party Secretary. He is one of the closest advisors to President Hadii, helping Malik in matters related to internal and external affairs. Despite being an orthodox Hadiist, he is eager to push for changes to appease NanoTrasen and other foreign powers in an attempt to gain their support. Many within the Party see Yakiv as a power-hungry and untrustworthy politician, eager to abuse his power to reach what he wants. Others recognize him as a cunning politician with a rather dangerous influence over President Hadii.

===Minister of Defense Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar===

Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar was born into a Hharar peasant family in '''2428'''. He was raised around veterans of the first revolution and was always interested in their stories. Owing to the new opportunities brought by the People’s Republic, Irbaykhan enrolled in a military academy and joined the Grand People's Army as an officer. He survived the purges of the early Hadiist government because of his political reliability; as he was one of the first army leaders to support President Hadii during his ascension. This left him in the privileged situation of being one of the few properly trained officers at the dawn of the Nated’s coup.

Irbaykhan quickly climbed the ranks of the Republican Army during the Second Revolution. Making extensive use of artillery and motorized troops, he secured early victories that gave much-needed breathing room to the fragile Republic. While in command of the Dymtris Front in '''2456''', he pushed the New Kingdom into the defensive position that they would remain in until the very end of the war. Mirarkiizar’s final promotion during the conflict was to the theater commander of the Rass’nrr Military District. With the help of the alien allies of the Republic, he managed to recapture the main region of the continent. He was given a seat in the Ministry of Defense after the Armistice, working alongside the upper echelons of the Party to refine the Republic’s strategy.

Unlike most members of the Ministry of Defense, Irbaykhan has both political connections and practical experience in the field. This combination has made him one of President Hadii’s closest advisors in regard to military matters. Currently, he is responsible for the Hro'zamal campaign. Mirarkiizar sees the Grand People's Army as an essential component of the Hadiist state; the ever-vigilant guardian of the Republic against its enemies. The Minister believes that strict discipline and union towards a common goal is the best way to safeguard the future of the People’s Republic.

===Minister of Technology Zhuldyz Hadii===

Born in '''2420''' to the Hadii dynasty, Zhuldyz enjoyed the many privileges granted to her family. She grew up fascinated by the new technologies brought by human contact; she would spend hours tinkering and dismantling electronics during her childhood. Later she was sent to study in prestigious Solarian universities, where she ventured into the field of robotics. Zhuldyz returned to Adhomai in 2449 and was granted a post in the Ministry of Technology.

Using the knowledge acquired off-world, Zhuldyz drew plans with the objective of modernizing the Republic through a technological revolution. The rapid industrialization aided by mechatronics would bring prosperity to the Tajara. While many of her initial projects were abruptly interrupted by Rhagrrhuzau's assassination, she remained in her position due to being a member of the Hadii dynasty. The unstable early years of Njadrasanukii’s presidency were unfavorable towards her dreams; stopping Nated’s coup and the Royalist uprising were top priorities at the time. However, as the frontlines stagnated and a semblance of normalcy returned to the People’s Republic, Zhuldyz had the chance to convince President Hadii of her plans. Knowing that losing the war would put an end to her pursuits, she turned her genius to the military field. Victory could be achieved through technological superiority. She was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Hadii Institute of Orbital Research|Hadii Institute of Orbital Research]], the expansion of the [[Tajara_Space_Capability#PRA_Army_Wing|Orbital Fleet]], and the creation of the Tesla Brigade. Zhuldyz was promoted to the office of the Minister of Technology shortly before the Armistice.

The Adhomian Cold War became the perfect testing ground for Zhuldyz's projects. She sees the period of peace as an opportunity to turn the People's Republic into a technological powerhouse. Zhuldyz believes that the future of Hadiism lies in science and that the Republic must become advanced enough to subjugate its enemies. Minister Hadii is not interested in ethical or safe research; she is eager to pursue dangerous and questionable experiments. No price is too small to pay during the march of progress. President Hadii gave Zhuldyz near uncontested authority to lead the Ministry of Technology. She was the mind behind the creation of the first independent robotic factory on Adhomai.

===Secretary of the Navy Hura'zhi Mira'zkui===

Born in '''2422''' to an exiled line of minor nobility from the Zatushka Kingdom, Mira’zkui grew up in the chaos of the First Revolution as the armies of the Hadiist rebels marched across Adhomai. When the dust had settled, despite his personal wishes to enter the party itself, his family would convince him to uphold their old traditions and join the forming Republican Navy in '''2447'''. It was then that Mira’zkui met Dynhaas and joined the Oceanmasters Lounge.

During the chaos of Dynhaas’ defection in '''2450''', Mira’zkui narrowly avoided his own death. Informed early by a loyal lieutenant that his own crew was plotting to kill him, Mira’zkui fled in a lifeboat and watched as his fellow officers were thrown screaming from the decks of their own ships. A few days later, he was found on the shores of Ras’nrr. As the Republic fell into chaos, Mira’zkui returned to the Republican Navy as Secretary, entrusted by Malik Hadii to fight against the pirate flotillas of the ALA and the Royal Navy. However, Mira’zkui’s loyalty was not able to make up for his inexperience. While the last of the Liberation Army’s pirate vessels were sunk, he was unable to contend with the strength of the Royal Navy and unable to achieve his personal desire: Capturing or killing Dynhaas.

Post-War, Mira’zkui has largely become reclusive and withdrawn from the public eye. While he continues to try and develop the Republican navy, Mira’zkui is forced to contend with funding going towards the projects of the Orbital Navy and Grand People’s Army. With a relationship of mutual dislike between himself and Zhuldyz Hadii, many within the party believe that Mira’zkui will likely be replaced eventually. How he would react to being denied any chance for revenge against Dynhaas is something no one knows.

===Chief Naval Commander Samirro Qarrarhaz===

Born in Northern Ras’nrr in '''2407''', Samirro was the son of a loyal M'sai general in the Hadii Hegemony. Qarrarhaz's family raised and taught him to follow in his father’s footsteps. He would become an artillery officer in '''2428''', finding great success during combat against monarchist groups through using extensive shelling to force and flush out the enemy. By '''2431''' Qarrarhaz was moved into Southern Harr’masir to prepare for an invasion of the Kingdom of Kaltir. His artillery crews were among those who scoured the Kingdom following its surrender, shelling whatever villas, castles, and manors they had found. A staunch ally of Al’mari Hadii and his family, Qarrarhaz has always stood by the Hadii family and the republic they had later built.

While also providing training for future artillery commanders in the interwar period, Qarrarhaz became part of a committee formed by President Al’mari Hadii to plan and prepare a space fleet for the PRA. He, along with other committee members, traveled to the Coalition of Colonies' planets of Xanu Prime and Himeo to observe anti-piracy operations in order to better develop the PRA’s own future space warfare doctrine in '''2452'''. When the Orbital Fleet was completed by '''2457''', Qarrarhaz was appointed Chief Naval Commander by President Malik Hadii. Since then, he has won numerous victories against piracy, smugglers, and even bested a [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/?do=findComment&comment=114422 Sol cruiser].

Post-war, Qarrarhaz continues to lead his spaceships and Kosmostrelki in the defense of the PRA’s claimed space. Comfortable and experienced in his position, Qarrarhaz has begun to speak more on the future of the PRA’s ventures into space. Controversially, the Commander has stated that the PRA must eventually extend its hand to the numerous small colonies and off-worlder communities dotting the frontier around them. Arguing that Hadiism’s light must be spread beyond Tajara, it is his belief that the PRA must one day uplift these groups from their poverty and absorb them into the state.

===Minister of Education Kalim Khazdar===

Kalim Khazdar was born in '''2430''' to a family of Hharar foremen in the city of Tampiska. Deemed a bright child by his teachers, he was sent to study in Al'marii. Captivated by the tales of progress and prosperity brought by the interwar period, Kalim enrolled at the Al'marii College of Hadiist Sciences. He continued his studies intending to become a college teacher. During his time as a student, he became a good friend and protégé of the rector of the university, Mahir Hadii. His friendship with a member of the political dynasty opened many doors for him.

Kalim joined the Hadiist party during the Second Revolution. He later visited Tau Ceti to study the Adhomian community there; his experiences in District Six deeply affected his ideas. He saw all the social problems that those who lived under the megacorporation rule were subject to. Instead of losing faith in Hadiism, he started to believe that reforms were necessary to save the People's Republic; NanoTrasen should be a means to an end, not the end itself. Kalim returned to Adhomai in 2459 and became a college professor. Thanks to his connections, he soon got involved with the administration and politics of the university. His papers on the subject of Hadiist education were generally well-received by the academia.

With the Armistice of Shastar, Kalim Khazdar aligned himself to the Young Hadiist faction; his sympathy towards the movement was largely unknown to the Party. His ascension to the position of Minister of Education in 2463 was the result of a confidential deal between his mentor and President Hadii. Despite being considered a powerless and inexperienced politician by the other members of the Hadiist cabinet, Kalim is not to be underestimated. Cunning will be necessary to avoid the wrath of President Hadii and his lackeys. The path to a truly free People's Republic will be a long and difficult one.

===Yasmin Piaf===

[[File:Yasmin portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A piece of a poster, promoting Yasmin Piaf's concert, 2463.]]
Yasmina Burokov, aka Yasmin Piaf, was born in 2434 in the suburbs of Nal'tor to a particularly well-off Njarir'Akhran family. Yasmin's father, Boris Burokov was a low-ranking State department official and devout loyalist of the People's Republic. She spent her childhood being educated in the best State-run schools their family could afford and enjoyed relative wealth and prosperity far from the poorer outskirts of the city.

Even from a young age, Yasmin was interested in music. She was part of her school's choir and participated in several nationwide contests for the honor of singing for President Rhagrrhuzau Hadii. The all-female 'Band of Njarir Maidens' consisting of Yasmin and her classmates eventually won and sang for the President and other members of his cabinet at the end of the annual military parade held in Nal'tor. Eventually, she graduated and went on to the Academy of Musical Arts with a full scholarship.

Talent scouts pruning the burgeoning academy's student pool for the next starlet eventually discovered Yasmin during rehearsals for the school's upcoming musical, and she signed a tentative deal with the small publication Vostak Recordings. Her first record, simply titled The Man in Rouge, was released with minimal fanfare. Given that she had sung a small solo during her performance for the President, some Tajara recalled her name.

Yet her voice, described by some as angelic and innocent, found purchase with an aging generation of Tajara who wished a brief return to peaceful normalcy following the First Revolution. Her dedication to the traditional pop standard and recognition for torch songs eventually elevated her to the status of a household name, with her recording label releasing hit after hit. As a result, Yasmin Piaf has become one of the most famous singers in the modern era - one who has fostered a close relationship with State officials. She is one of the few artists who are approved to be played on State radio KGTW-11.

===Andrey Borisov===

Out of all the Tajara that one could argue embody loyalty to the People’s Republic, perhaps none are more memorable than Andrey Alexander Borisov. In the average Republican household, his name is just as common as President Hadii’s, owing to the fact that he is the face of State propaganda and news network RAFИ. Born in 2416 to a line of M’sai warriors, Andrey was not even two years old before humanity stumbled across Adhomai and lit the flame that ignited the First Revolution.

Andrey’s father and uncle were killed in the uprising, leaving him, his mother, and his sister alone to fend for themselves. His mother curried favor with the local rebel leader when their town fell to the onslaught of war; she became his concubine and, later, his wife. The ever-advancing front saw Andrey moved from home to home, where the young M’sai would often spend time talking to soldiers recovering after harsh fighting. They nourished a sense of patriotism in him, and eventually, he came to see the First Revolution as necessary for the future of the Tajara.

The war ended in 2432, when he was merely 16 years old. As the newly founded People’s Republic began the arduous transition from a movement to a government, Andrey’s connections with the upper echelon of PRA politicians bore fruit. He was taken on as a member of an officer’s general staff, headquartered in Nal’Tor, where he served as little more than a glorified secretary. His position put him in contact with the elite, however, and many found him charming and personable. His silver tongue earned him the interest of Dmitrys Marakov, the owner of the only State-approved television station at that point in time.

His ascension from lowly secretary to the major news anchor for RAFИ was one that involved plenty of political maneuvering, money - and, rumored by some, violence - but ultimately Andrey had proved his loyalty to the political elite of the People's Republic and he was rewarded with the honor of being their mouthpiece. As a result, no Tajara on Adhomai can go very long without seeing his smiling face on their television set, spinning the next story or cover-up at the behest of the State.

==Democratic People's Republic==

''"We are soldiers. We are fighters. We are war. We have forsaken the corrupt and decaying corpse of the xeno-loving People's Republic. We have left our homes and our families, but our cause is righteous. The suns are with us! The vile usurper of my friend and comrade Al'mari will have justice delivered to him! We will spill the blood of our enemies until our struggles are seen and heard, and we WILL retake OUR Republic!"

''- Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan, the day after the coup de tat began, 2451.''

===Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan===
[[File:Nateed portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A surprise picture of Nated, taken in 2458.]]
Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan was born in '''2404''' to a M'sai family under the service of the Hadii Dynasty. The son of a royal guard, Nated interacted with many Njarir children in his early life. He grew to resent their narcissism but was prepared to inherit his duty nonetheless. When the First Revolution ignited in '''2421''', Halkiikijr fought for the loyalists alongside the Hadii family. Becoming a battle-brother of Rhagrrhuzau Hadii, or better known as Al'Mari Hadii, Nated stood with the Hadii’s decision to abandon their royal roots and join the revolutionaries. When the war ended Al'Mari was sworn into office, Halkiikijr was made a Commander in Chief of the Republican Army in return for his service.

Al'Mari supposedly made promises of swearing-in Halkiikijr as the next president of the People's Republic once the political climate on Adhomai had stabilized. The legitimacy of this claim is not known, but what is known is that Al'Mari was assassinated during a military parade in '''2451''' and Njadrasanukii Hadii, vice president of the People's Republic, swore himself in as the successor of the presidency. Outraged at the assassination and accusing Njadrasanukii of treachery against the People’s Republic, Nated organized a coup against Malik. Bringing together military commanders dissatisfied with the new Hadiist policies, Halkiikijr created the Adhomai Liberation Army to dethrone the new President. He then took the title of Supreme Commander.

As the putsch attempt was thwarted by the Hadiist forces, Nated fled to Shastar City. The coup then turned into a full-blown civil war between the Liberation Army and the People’s Republic. Without off-world help, Nated called to arms anyone willing to support his cause. His movement became a unifying front to all kinds of elements opposing President Hadii; from democratic reformers to extremists fighting to free Adhomai from alien influence. For a decade, Halkiikijr led the Liberation Army as an effective opposing force against the People’s Republic and the New Kingdom. He favored the extensive use of irregular warfare coupled with the deployment of the army to secure decisive battles. A cult of personality formed around Halkiikijr; extremists claimed that he was a prophet sent by the Gods. The Supreme Commander took advantage of this belief to cultivate undying loyalty and fanaticism among his followers.

Believing that the territories under his control were ready for a democracy modeled after the Al'mariist principles, Nated's undisputed rule came to an end with the creation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai. Halkiikijr retired from his position as Supreme Commander to prevent a coup against the newly elected president. His retirement did not last long; he returned to power because of the Amohdan crisis in '''2462'''. Nated was given back the control of the Liberation Army and its remaining juntas to retake the Island of Amohda. After this display of weakness, Halkiikijr is unsure if the DPRA is truly ready to rule Adhomai. For him, the ALA is now more essential than before. Nated also faces infighting between his two right-hand men; commander Kahan and Kyff.

===Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad===

Kahan Hro'rammhad was born in '''2412''' to a Hharar family as their oldest children. A peasant from birth in the region of Southern Harr'masir, he was taught the traditional values of S'rendarr and Messa by his deeply religious parents. His childhood was cut short by the outbreak of the First Revolution; his family was expelled from their lands by the war. Thanks to its flat terrain, Southern Harr’masir saw the first deployment of armored vehicles in the conflict; trains, civilian cars, and trucks were outfitted for warfare by the rebels. Hro’rammhad joined the crew of an armored car as soon he turned 14 years old. Because of the high mortality among the revolutionaries, Kahan quickly found himself in the command of his own brigade. He became famous for his excellent use of the vehicles’ speed to encircle the enemy, and for his merciful nature. Monarchists soldiers were always given the chance of joining his side after capture. Hro’rammhad also forbade unnecessary executions and mistreatment of prisoners among his fighters.

Commander Kahan and his brigade were incorporated into the Hadiist faction shortly before the end of the First Revolution. As a member of the Republican Army, he was a major proponent of the transformation of the People’s Army into a motorized force. Tank brigades and motostrelki units were created under his supervision. Kahan funded the reconstruction of many temples destroyed during the revolution and frequently donated to charity through the interwar period. Hro’rammhad joined Nated’s coup due to his profound disagreement with Malik’s policies; he saw the oppression of the Zhan-Khazan as morally corrupt. Armored units that defected alongside him were organized into the Hro'rammhad Tank Corps under his command.

Hro'rammhad remained a merciful and pious Tajara through the Second Revolution. He rejected the notion of irregular warfare and continued to offer mercy to his enemies. As the leader of the main armored force in the Liberation Army, Kahan played an important role in decisive battles. This position allowed him to become a right-hand man for Nated. As part of his religiousness, Hro'rammhad considered the conflict to be a battle to protect the faith against the innate atheism of Hadiism. Religious imagery and motifs became common among his Tajara. The men under Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad are known to have the utmost respect for his bravery and mercy, most even going so far as to worship him as an embodiment of S'rendarr's justice. His success during the civil war earned him the nickname of “Undefeated Commander".

Despite the armistice, Commander Kahan remains as one of the second-in-command for Halkiikijr. He is an avid supporter of the transition to democracy, advocating for the dismantlement of the juntas. This position earned him many enemies among the more authoritarian elements within the Liberation Army. He is known to despise Commander Kyff Hotak for his tactics and personality. Both Tajara are currently engaged in an internal struggle to consolidate their influence over the Liberation Army.

===Commander Kyff Hotak===

Born in the year '''2406''' to a family of Zhan-Khazan miners in the Trizar, Kyff Hotak was supposedly destined to slave away for his Njarir master as his ancestors did for many generations. To avoid this fate, Hotak fled his home as a young Tajara. He ran into the wilderness until he found a bandit camp. Because of his age, the brigands decided to adopt Kyff as the group’s mascot. The boy grew up witnessing all kinds of crime and violence; later taking part in the band’s activity when old enough. The bandits sided with the rebels during the First Revolution in search of plunder. But their greed was their undoing; the criminals were massacred by the revolutionaries after they were discovered stealing rations. Hotak survived by being the one to report the activities of his previous comrades. As the war dragged on, Kyff became more bold and cruel in his revolutionary activities. He frequently engaged in assassinations, massacres, and false flag operations to crush the monarchists’ morale. Hotak was soon feared by his comrades and hated by his enemies. To him, everything was permissible to achieve victory. Impressed by the victories of the Hadii faction, he joined them as part of the early Ha'narr Corps.

The interwar period was fairly unremarkable for Kyff Hotak; he was given a low-ranking office position in the intelligence department. While Hotak advocated for the recreation of a force similar to the Mountain Ghost Corps, his request was ignored by the Hadiist high command. Memories of his excess in the First Revolution stopped Hotak from receiving any further promotions. He grew discontent with the People’s Republic, believing that he deserved more for his service. Seeing Nated's coup as an opportunity to rise to power, Kyff defected to the Liberation Army without hesitation.

Hotak organized his own unit of commando early into the war; a battalion trained in stealth operations. As a major proponent of irregular warfare, he also helped organize guerilla cells and coordinate terrorist attacks. The success of these groups granted him enough influence to become one of Nated's right-hand men. However, Commander Kyff quickly returned to his old ways; he started to wage a campaign of unrestrained terror. The presence of his soldiers became a harbinger of indiscriminate persecution, murder, excessive property requisition, and collective punishment against any community suspected of working with the enemy. Despite the protest of the civilian population and Commander Kahan, Halkiikijr refused to replace Kyff. Taking advantage of his reputation, Hotak ordered his Tajara to spread stories of him being the earthly manifestation of Messa's wrath. This tactic proved to be effective both among his enemies and allies.

Commander Kyff Hotak remains in service even after the armistice. Many within the army and the civilian administration desire to see Hotak punished for his war crimes, but Supreme Commander Nated continues to protect him. Kyff is a hardline supporter of the more authoritarian elements in the government and desires a strong centralized leadership above all else. He and Commander Hro'rammhad are rivals; both Tajara commonly fight each other over which direction the Liberation Army should go. Hotak is always accompanied by his pet [[Adhomai#Farwa (Tree-Hopper)|Farwa]], Ghiyath.

===President Almrah Harrlala===
[[File:harrlala portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the president during one of her speeches, done in 2461.]]
President Almrah Harrlala was born in '''2426''' to a family of Hharar factory workers in Shastar City. While her childhood was relatively unaffected by the First Revolution, she enjoyed many of the benefits brought by the People’s Republic during the interwar period. Being the first member of her household to receive a proper education, she became involved in the Party’s politics at a considerable young age. She believed that a stable democracy built upon the will of the people was the best path for Adhomai. She was also wary of the presence of megacorporations on the planet, considering their activities as harmful to the development of the Tajara species She campaigned for more worker’s rights and laws restricting corporation’s activities in the PRA. Almrah held a position within the Party until the ascension of President Njadrasanukii Hadii; he ordered the arrest of Harrlala due to her views.

Harrlala was held prisoner in Shastar during the first moments of the Civil war, only the capture of the city by the Liberation Army saved her from being transferred to another location. Hoping to continue her career in politics, she aligned herself with the rebels. Even if the despotic and extremist tendencies of the ALA worried Almrah, she held to Nated's promise of saving the Republic. She was given the position of Provisional Minister of Civil Rights when the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai was established.

As the Minister of Civil Rights, Almrah worked to protect the regional identities present in the DPRA. Her campaign to end military rule over the country while still upholding the principles of Al’mariism made her a popular figure among the moderate sectors of the population. Seeking to expand her political influence, she founded the National Adhomai Worker's Party. She was one of the candidates in the presidential elections of '''2460'''; she won the office of president by a narrow margin. President Harrlala’s ascension to power displeased the authoritarian wing of the Liberation Army, the military then planned a coup to restore their own rule. The putsch was stopped by the intervention of Supreme Commander Nated, who later resigned from his position to grant more powers to the civilian administration.

Following the Armistice, President Almrah Harrlala continued with her internal policies while maintaining a strong stance against foreign dominance. Under her rule, schools to preserve local cultures and languages were established, Gakal’zaal was liberated from the Unathi rule, and the DPRA developed its nuclear program. Her status as one of the first female rulers in modern Tajaran history has inspired many women to engage in DPRA politics. However, her regime is plagued with deep issues. The ghost of separatism lingers over the nation after the Amohdan attempt to secede. Her ability to reconcile the various factions in the government was severely doubted when she failed to draw a plan to handle the rebellious island. Since the return of Halkiikijr to power, the authoritarian elements see this as a moment of weakness in the young Republic. President Harrlala must be ready to face further opposition if she wants to see her vision of Adhomai come to life.

===Ex-interim President Brajrr Alnadruskiy===

Born in '''2423''' in the city of Mztel’mir, Brajjr Alnadruskiy was the youngest child of a family of brewers. He later joined the Republican Army at 17 years old, slowly climbed the ranks through diligent service to the military. Brajrr attributed the prosperity of interwar Adhomai to the strong leadership of President Al’mari; he believed that the Republic always needed a strongman in control to succeed. He severely doubted Malik’s competence because of his decision to undo his brother’s reform.

Brajrr finally rose to prominence with Nated's coup. Upon hearing of the revolution, he rallied the Liberation Army’s aligned troops in Das’nrra to assault Shastar. Alnadruskiy's attack was successful and he was named the Rrhaza-Akhran of the city. Shastar became the headquarter of the ALA, giving Brajrr a reasonable amount of influence within the army high command. He was known for his rigorous discipline and unforgiving nature. Many war prisoners were forced into labor by his orders. Brajrr was given the position of Interim President when the Democratic People’s Republic was created.

Alnadruskiy ran for president in the 2460 elections, seeking to centralize the nation and maintain the Army’s sway over the government. He founded the Free Tajaran People’s Party, gathering the most authoritarian elements in the Republic. After Almrah Harrlala’s victory by a narrow margin, he took part in the putsch against the newly elected president. Despite the defeat of the mutiny, Brajrr managed to convince Halkiikijr that he was forced by the extremists to join them. He was released and allowed to return to politics.

Ex-interim President Brajjr Alnadruskiy now leads the opposition to Harrlala’s regime. He continues to support a centralized state under the leadership of Supreme Commander Nated. Even when the successes of the current administration displease him, their latest crisis has given him enough to challenge Almrah. The return of Halkiikijr to the control of the Army is also considered a victory for him and his followers. Alnadruskiy awaits for the right moment of weakness to retake control of the DPRA.

===Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar===

The first and thus far only incident of weapons of mass destruction being employed on Adhomai happened in 2458, when the People’s Republic dropped a four-megaton nuclear bomb on the Liberation Army base in Quizosa. The death toll from the detonation was staggering, but the fallout from the bomb was carried on strong winds, leading to severe cases of radiation poisoning from the neighboring camps.

Tajara medical experience with radiation poisoning and the effects of nuclear bombs were practically non-existent. The only species in the galaxy that had the technology long before the Tajara were Xenos, and the Liberation Army did not have the luxury of free contact with extraplanetary forces. With the sick and dying mounting, a call for help was sent out to the surrounding territories. Many physicians and doctors made the long and difficult journey in the winter snows to help - at the forefront of them, Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar.

The effects of the bomb were catastrophic. Survivors were badly burned. Their fur fell out, never to grow back again - leaving them susceptible to Adhomai’s frigid temperatures. Their skin peeled off in sickly ribbons, hanging limply to the ground. Doctors were at a loss, with only a rudimentary understanding of what could have happened. Dr. Aleksandra took a sort of unofficial command of the medical effort, and coordinated efforts to assist the sick and dying.

Liberation-sympathetic Tajara, at her prodding, recovered as many documents as they could regarding the atom bomb from PRA-aligned holdings, downloading information from the extranet and thieving textbooks from high-security locations. Thanks to her ingenuity and leadership, the haphazard medical team of doctors saved a great many innocents from a slow, painful death - though they would have to live with the effects of the bomb for the rest of their lives. Dr. Aleksandra is widely known for her opposition to nuclear proliferation, due to her experiences, and has become the face of a growing anti-WMD movement across Ras’narr.

===Arzjun Haurjuhrl===

Rumors persist that Arzjun Haurjuhrl was sired out of wedlock, a result of an affair between a Zhan-Khazan mistress and a rebel leader. He was born in '''2427''' in the warmer regions near the city of Olska, and lived alone with his mother. He was scarcely a child when the war ended and the People’s Republic came to prominence. Both he and his mother suffered much in the way of discrimination - for being Zhan-Khazan as well as having a bastard child. This disconnect between what the People’s Republic promised and the way they were treated caused the young Arzjun to become disillusioned with the Republic.

He was further tested when his mother suddenly fell ill and died in the winter of 2445. With nothing left tying him down, abandoned as he had been by Adhomain society, he took what little funds they had been saving and paid a smuggler to carry him off-world. It took every penny but eventually, he found himself in Mendell City, carrying nothing but the clothes on his back. For a time, he lived on the streets, forced to beg to make ends meet. He soon found work at one of the shelters he had often stayed at. The community of Little Adhomai was more welcoming to him than the homeworld had been.

Deciding to pay back the kindness he received, he took part in many community outreach programs, including plays and dramas for the children of Little Adhomai. His passion for the arts as a medium of expression took root here, and his name rose to some prominence amongst the local Tajara population thanks to his charity work. He aspired to work on his own big picture and got his chance thanks to the collective donations of many Tajara. Wealthy Xenos also had an interest in seeing what the immigrant could do, though perhaps a few thought it would look good as a public relations move.

The script he wrote went through many revisions and sat for a good while before it was picked up by a studio. The community who had helped him before had done it once again; the surprise blockbuster When Summer Came to Nazira was one of the top ten highest-grossing films in Biesel history. Its anti-tyranny message was seen by some as an expression of the director’s own viewpoint on the People’s Republic. In some ways, they were correct - Arzjun is a quiet supporter of the DPRA, which has put him at odds with the Republican government. As a result, his film is banned from showing on Adhomai - though this has not stopped smuggled copies from being distributed amongst DPRA theaters.

==New Kingdom==

''"Loyal subjects, countrymen, brothers. It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that we must conscript from the provinces in order to maintain our fight in this war. However, you are not alone. Even as the new compulsory service legislature is passed, the aristocrats across the kingdom are likewise mobilized under a new service gentry system, so that all of the Kingdom is together in this struggle."''

''- King Vahzirathaamro Azunja, announcing the beginning of conscription and formalization of the service gentry in 2453.''

=== King Vahzirthaamro Azunja===

King Azunja was born in 2400 in the city of Kaltir to the noble Njarir’Akhran Azunja line. His father was Farkhanzirhal and his mother Dramahdarmah. Located in the far reaches of Kaltir, the Azunja family line was one of compassion and fair treatment, as only in unity and brotherhood could they hope to survive the harsh far reaches of Northern Adhomai. Their peasants were kept well and treated with dignity, and the nobles, while privileged, never indulged in cruelty. A noble paige since the age of 10, Vahzirthaamro excelled in reading and writing from an early age. He prepared to inherit the family throne as the sole son of his parents until the first civil war of Adhomai ignited in 2421.

When war broke out between the nobility and peasants, house Azunja was hesitant to pick sides, as they disagreed with the morals of both sides. Their distant position in the wild made them capable of ignoring the war until its end, as the Hadii family was placed at the head of Adhomai in 2432. Carrying the flags of the newly founded People's Republic of Adhomai, the Republic's army demanded the surrender of all nobility in Kaltir. The entire populace requested to be left in peace, as the peasantry and nobility there had never declared war on one another. Believing the peasants were utterly spineless and brainwashed, the People's Republic executed all current nobles ruthlessly, scattering the royalty of the region. Vahzirthaamro was placed in prison by his father's retinue of intellectuals, who declared he had to remain hidden amongst the lowest of the low if he wished to stay alive. From that moment on, Vahzirthaamro Azunja knew that peace was impossible so long as a compromise was not made, and a true constitutional monarchy was made the unanimous government on Adhomai.

Word passed amongst the Tajara at the work camps about the possibility that Vahzirthaamro still lived as many pre-war intellectuals gathered with him in private. They spun every possibility of a government, even discussing adopting human political systems as they gathered workers, fighters, poets, and philosophers to form an organized nation as they spread their ideas to the guards of the facility, a majority of which who were old peasants under the Azunja family who thought the entirety of the nobility had been executed. Delighted to see his return, they joined his side and swore allegiance to his family once more.

In 2449, in the middle of the night, Vahzirthaamro was released in secret along with the entirety of his retinue, as they quickly spread from town to town, asking for assistance from newly appointed officials and workers. Before long, the reminiscent families of the Kaltir region were happy to rejoin their flock. By 2450 his claim to rule had spread to all of Northern Harr'masir, and the New Kingdom of Adhomai officially seceded as an independent nation under the newly declared King Vahzirthaamro Azunja. He then led the Kingdom for the next decade, managing the balance between the different factions within the government and the ongoing war. Vahzirthaamro became a unifying figure for the population. After successfully securing Kaltir's ancient lands and negotiating the armistice that brought the end to the war, King Vahzirthaamro passed away in 2463. His niece, Shumaila Azunja, inherited his throne.

===Queen Shumaila Azunja===

[[File:Shumaila portrait.png|200px|thumb|right| A portrait done of Queen Shumaila Azunja, holding the ceremonial orr'bu s'rrendar, circa 2460.]]
Shumaila Azunja was born in 2431 in Northern Harr’smirr, as the daughter of one of the kingdom’s princes. She survived the Republican slaughter by being hidden away among the peasantry, raised in secret by individuals still loyal to the old ruling dynasty. From a young age, Shumaila began to participate in secretive royalist circles within Kaltir. Here, she began her service to the kingdom by helping distribute leaflets proclaiming the coming of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. When the uprising broke out in 2450, she joined the new Imperial Adhomian Army. Shumaila then rose through the officer ranks quickly, becoming a commander in the Jabrut Almumalik and establishing a name for herself on the front.

Many of those who served under Shumaila describe her as being a woman of unbreakable will, never faltering as casualties stacked or as barrages shattered the ground around her. Some even say she wouldn’t even blink at the sight of the PRA’s dreaded tanks rolling towards the lines. For her exploits in the war’s 2459 offensive and the defense of the Vlrralkhzazhul line, Shumaila came to be known as “The Storm of Harr’smir”, matching her iron will with a burning fury to destroy the kingdom’s enemies.

In 2460, after meeting with several prospective heirs, King Vahzirthaamro had chosen his niece Shumaila to serve as the Crown Heir. Although the majority supported this decision alongside most of Parliament and the nobility, a large fraction remained wary of the decision of a military leader over other options. However, this opposition has shrunk over the past few years. Shumaila remains strong on her position of expanding the military, but she has also spoken about increasing ties to the galaxy’s Megacorporations to modernize the New Kingdom. Nor has she made any comments regarding changing the democratic systems of Parliament and the Chamber. Coupled with her public appearances and active presence in the newspapers, many woes and worries of her ascension have been dissuaded.

Since entering the public eye in 2459, Shumaila enjoys much support from the women of Kaltir. Many look to her as an inspiration, buying “military” style jackets to emulate her look, given that Shumaila became one of the few Tajara women to lead a nation. However, this fame has also led to calls from the nobility and her family to choose a husband. Shumaila retains that her marriage comes after her coronation. She was finally crowned in 2463 after King Azunja passed away. Outside of continuing her uncle's legacy, her plans to the Kingdom are still unclear to the wide public
[[File:Marshal portrait.png|200px|thumb|left| A portrait of Field-Marshal Zarkradar'Akhan, circa 2420.]]
===Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan===

Rrhazhal was born in '2380 to the noble Njarir’Akhran Zarkradar'Akhan line, however, he was a legitimized bastard of a Zhan-Kazan maid. As the youngest of his brothers, Rrhazhal was sent into the service of the Azunja family as King Farkhanzirhal Azunja's servant at the age of 10. King Azunja noticed the young child had a talent for philosophy and strategy. The two had many intellectual discussions together as Rrhazhal quickly became a trusted advisor of King Farkhanzirhal by the time he was 20. At this time, King Azunja decided he trusted Rrhazhal with protecting the life of the newly born Vahzirthaamro. On the eve of the First Civil War, Rrhazhal was tasked with training the peasantry of Kaltir in order to defend their fiefdom and nobility against attackers. When Kaltir was annexed by the People's Republic of Adhomai in 2432, Farkhanzirhal frenziedly ordered Rrhazhal to hide Vahzirthaamro before People's Republic soldiers stormed the palace, killing almost everyone. From then on Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan personally accompanied Vahzirthaamro Azunja as his protector and chief advisor.

In 2450, once the New Kingdom had officially declared independence from the People's Republic of Adhomai, Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan was promoted to the rank of Field-Marshal personally by King Azunja, and today oversees all military operations inside of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Respected for his tactical skill but notorious for his radical belief that a compromise is not possible and a complete return to the old nobility is Adhomai's only option for peace, Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan is one of the oldest fighting nobles left on Adhomai.

===Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas===

Hailing from a royal cadet line and born in 2402, Dynhaas followed his father and brothers to join the Das’nrra Empire’s navy at a young age. When the First Revolution came, naval losses coupled with the rebel conquest of Das’nnra resulted in Dynhaas, the last man left of his line, surrendering and being imprisoned. With the war’s end in 2432, Dynhaas was offered a pardon by the Party in exchange for developing the Republican Navy. He would come to accept this over the alternative of death.

Accepting his defeat and believing that the age of nobility came to an end, Dynhaas came to view the Republican Navy as his new purpose in life. He worked to advance it alongside other pardoned nobles and founded the Oceanmasters Lounge, a private club within the naval officer corps. This path in life would change with the announcement of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Believing that a way to restore the old glory days of kingdoms laid with the NKA, Dynhaas began to plan a revolt. Partnering with other sympathetic admirals, he had the Republican Navy’s Grand Admiral and several other loyalists killed on a fateful night at the Shastar Naval Base before fleeing eastwards in 2450. In the same year that the New Kingdom was declared, Dynhaas delivered them the strongest naval force Adhomai had ever seen. King Azunja had declared him the Kingdom’s Grand Admiral shortly after meeting with Dynhaas in Miran’mir.

With the Republican Navy's command almost crippled and the ALA unable to compete with their dominance of the sea, Dynhaas used his fleets during the war to support and supply the Royal Army while helping smash the enemies of the New Kingdom. The artillery barrages of his ships were important in coastal battles during the NKA's offensives while their supremacy saved the Royal Marines from certain destruction following the failed Ras'nrr expedition. The prestige of his position made Dynhaas an instant celebrity in the NKA as well. Many propaganda reels and photos showed him as a majestic lord of the sea, something he capitalized on heavily to present himself as the very pinnacle of noble glory. Always well-groomed, well-dressed, and impeccable at talking despite whatever circumstances he was in, Dynhaas never passed the opportunity to host an interview. Most notable was Dynhaas' interview on his opinions of xenos of the S'rand’marr coalition, conducted on his capital vessel while it sieged Nal'tor in the final stages of the war. His statements on Unathi and Skrell were less than positive. After the expulsion of the People's Republic from Harr'masir in 2461, Admiral Mahtra infamously ordered the Royal Navy to engage in an unrestricted bombardment campaign of the eastern Hadiist coast. Cities and villages were targets of frequent naval artillery strikes; the battleships shelled military and civilian targets indiscriminately. The Navy infamously used incendiary shells during these attacks, causing entire neighborhoods to be engulfed in firestorms.

Post-war, Dynhaas went on several speaking tours in the first year of the armistice. Traveling from city to city, his public events were used to promote his upcoming biography and drew crowds in the tens of thousands. Politically, he maintains that the future of the NKA always lies within the navy, and that the industry of the New Kingdom must always retain a heavy focus on their shipyards. Dynhaas has also been vocal in his beliefs of a stronger monarch, often using the emergency powers King Azunja had as an example of the strong benefits that could come with such. He is yet to comment at all on his supposed rival, Mira'zkui, at all.

===Grand Duke Akym Yudenikh===

Born in the Das'nrra Empire to a noble family in 2412, Akym Yudenikh survived the First Revolution by escaping to Northern Harr'masir and hiding his identity. After the Hadiist occupation of the Kingdom of Kaltir, Yudenikh joined the People's Republic bureaucracy; he became responsible for the administration of the local rail system. Akym was infamous for his corruption; he frequently sold permits, disregarded contraband reports, and accepted bribes.

Because of his background, Akym was contacted by the underground royalist movement. He quickly became one of the main supporters of the group; he used his position within the Hadiist government to secure supplies and funding for the incoming uprising. Weapons, machinery, and ammunition were diverted to the Royalist cells. Akym was awarded the title of baron, a seat in the parliament, and some land confiscated from the People's Republic when Vahzirthaamro returned. However, his ambitions did not stop there. Using the money made from his time as a Republican bureaucracy, alongside whatever profit he could extract from his new holdings, Yudenikh continued to acquire more estate. Newly liberated farms were sold to him at a meager price thanks to his connections within the government. In a question of years, he became a Grand Duke and one of the major landowners of the New Kingdom. Akym controversially used prisoners of war as workers in his plantations during the Second Revolution as part of deals with the military.

Following the Armistice, Akym Yudenikh now leads the Royalist Party; his main mission is to maintain the status quo. The continuation of the constitutional monarchy and the privileges of the nobility align perfectly with his interests. He is one of the major supporters of further deals with megacorporations. Grand Duke Akym is not afraid to use his position to protect his interest in the parliament. Under his vision, prosperity for the New Kingdom means more power and wealth to its elite.

===Prince Serhiy Oliinyk===

Born as the third son to a family of Njarir'Akhran in 2434, Serhiy Oliinyk's life was profoundly affected by events over which he had no control. Raised in a household of avid royalists supporters, Serhiy was exposed to his parents' ideology since his youth. However, the boy had his reservations in regards to the possible return of the monarchy; he doubted that they could truly avoid the mistakes of the past. For his support during the uprising in Northern Harr'masir, the patriarchy of the Oliinyk family was given a seat in the parliament, a title of nobility, and a modest tract of land. Serhiy mistakenly believed that he could escape his bloodline's obligation thanks to his status as the third child. He already had a passion in his life: playing the P'rrama.

The war was cruel to the Oliinyk. Serhiy's brothers were killed while serving the army. This put him in an uneasy position as the heir of a parliamentary seat. The growing debt forced his father to sell whatever land they had left; the Oliinyk had officially joined the ranks of landless nobility. The final blow came in 2459 with the bombing of the Parliament; Serhiy inherited his progenitor's seat after his demise in the attack. The young musician was thrown into the midst of the New Kingdom's politics. Influenced by his social status and beliefs, he aligned himself to the Commoners Party.

If he is truly unable to escape his fate, Prince Serhiy decided to make the best out of it. Because of his age and a family full of martyrs, Serhiy became the Commoners Party's main spokesperson. Convincing the Queen to support the Populists will not be easy; the Conservatives and Absolutists are far more powerful and influential. A powerful strategy is necessary to guarantee the Commoners Party triumph in the parliament. Serhiy plans to retire from politics after the hereditary parliamentary positions are abolished and the Kingdom is fairer to its population. He hopes to return to his greatest passion: music.

===Count Tscherim Sanguszkho===

Hailing from a cadet house of the Rrhakaslov dynasty, Tscherim Sanguszkho was born in 2433 shortly after his family escaped to Kaltir to avoid the First Revolution's massacres. He was raised on a small farm frequented by disposed nobles and royalist sympathizers. Sheltered from the rest of Adhomai, he grew only knowing the world only through the nostalgic tales of pre-contact Njarir'Akhran, The Sanguszkho family was quick to offer their support to King Azunja when he returned; the Tscherim's father was given a seat in the parliament. Tscherim became a low-ranking officer in the army.

Tscherim Sanguszkho's military career came to an end in 2460 when he was gravely wounded in combat. Taking advantage of his pension and family's position, Tscherim spent the next years in gentlemen's clubs. In these places, he entered into contact with radical Absolute Royalists and became deeply interested in [[Tajaran Minor Religions#Ancient Tajara Theory|esoteric beliefs]]. Tscherim founded his organization in 2462: the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity. Drawing inspiration from the stories of an idealized pre-First Contact society, the ideology known as Revival Royalism was born from the Fraternity's meetings. Posing as a regular club, Tscherim was able to introduce other nobles to his ideals. Knowing that the task of enforcing the old order was not an easy one, Sanguszkho chose a common enemy to unite the kingdom against: the Tajara of mixed heritage.

Tscherim's plan came to fruition when his father died in a car accident in 2463; he inherited a landed title, a state, and a seat in the Parliament. Shortly after, the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity opened its membership to the public and made its intentions clear. Thanks to a deal with the Officers and Royal parties, the Fraternity became the fourth faction in the Parliament. Despite being the leader of the smallest Party, Count Tscherim has already begun to plot to slowly introduce his ideology into the New Kingdom.

===Ser Mrakhanjurl Ii'rka===

Mrakhanjurl was born in 2422 in a Zhan-Khazan family in a small village outside Olska. He received little education nor traveled far outside his village. As soon as he came of age at 16 he joined the rest of the village mining bauxite ore to be shipped to Olska to make aluminum. He eventually lost both parents to lung cancer from the mine's poor ventilation before he was 23. In 2452, when he was 29, he traveled with a dozen other Zhan-Khazan miners several miles to Olska to join a protest against the new legislation of President Hadii that was meant to crack down 'subversive elements' that many felt were unfair to Zhan-Khazan. The army was called in and brutally repressed the demonstration, which saw Mrakhanjurl narrowly escape with his life. He returned to his village to find that it had been torched by the republican army for housing subversive agitators.

Mrakhanjurl mourned the loss of his village and was picked up by rebel militia, who revealed that they had managed to provide early warning to the village and evacuate over a dozen people, but the army had managed to find and kill all but a handful of survivors. In gratitude for the rebels dying for his village, and to avenge the deaths, Mrakhanjurl joined the armed resistance that eventually joined itself under the New Kingdom of Adhomai. In a very short few years became a remarkable marksman, gaining the most recorded kills of any Tajara sniper. Current New Kingdom estimates put Mrakhanjurl's kill count at 285, 32 of those enemy PRA snipers.

Mrakhanjurl also managed to evacuate countless civilians from Republic territory to northern New Kingdom holdings. During the famous ''Rout of the 2nd Battalion'', in which New Kingdom defenders unsuccessfully attempted to prevent Republican forces from capturing Baltor, Mrakhanjurl assumed command of the 4th Company after both its leading officers had been killed by sniper fire. Despite a serious gunshot wound to the leg Mrakhanjurl began shouting orders and rallied the shattered defenders, who were the last line of defense between the advancing Republic forces and thousands of refugees attempting to flee the city. The ''Rally of the 4th Company'' on 2456 successfully managed to delay advancing Republic troops long enough for thousands of more refugees to escape into New Kingdom territory who would otherwise face atrocity.

For his bravery and growing fame (which was now considered too important to risk in the war effort), Mrakhanjurl was given the Order of the Victorious Sun, the highest honor in the New Kingdom, as well as being the first Zhan-Khazan in history to be given the noble rank of Ser. He remains a hero to the Zhan-Khazan and the New Kingdom.

===King of the Mountains Rustam Harmaliik===
[[File:harmaliik portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the king in his riding regalia, done in 2454.]]
Rustam Harmaliik was born in 2427 as the son of a deposed Njarir'Akhran noble family. He spent most of his youth in the rural region of Harr'masir, where he had contact with some groups of Rhazar'Hrujmagh that inhabited the region. As an adult, he found employment in law enforcement and was sent by the People’s Republic to support the efforts to settle the rock nomads of the Harr’masir region in 2448 as a Republican official.

While working alongside the authorities to make sure that the nomadic Zhan would accept and adopt a sedentary lifestyle, Rustam grew more interested in their culture and became skeptical of the Hadii’s regime and how they were treating the Rock Nomads. Unrest among the Rhazar'Hrujmagh soon followed, and Rustam would try to offer his support in any way possible, such as sabotaging equipment shipment or relaying misleading intelligence. The government soon realized his treason, forcing Rustam to abandon his post and escape into the wilderness.

Rustam found shelter among a caravan of the Rhazar'Hrujmagh, and soon adopted their way of life. Unrest and resistance continued among the rock nomads, and Harmaliik joined their struggle against the People’s Republic. With the New Kingdom’s rebellion, the control of the region waned and the Republican efforts shifted to other problems, which allowed the nomad resistance to blossom into guerrilla warfare. Rustam climbed the ranks of his caravan’s forces, winning prestige and favor by leading them against the Republican forces.

The second revolution happened, and the Rhazar'Hrujmagh resistance continued. Rustam assumed the leadership of his adopted caravan and aimed to acquire more support among the other Rock Nomads. Through the years of the conflict, he gathered more men and wagons under his command, through diplomacy or conquest, but limiting himself to defensive tactics, ambushes, and raids. The political stance of Harmaliik has always been one of neutrality in the conflict, never compromising fully with the Adhomai Liberation army, due to his Njarir’Akhran origins and monarchist sentiments, and never declaring any support to the New Kingdom, in fear of losing the trust of his fellow nomads,

Due to a republican offensive against the nomadic guerrillas in 2461, Rustam decided to declare himself the Almalik’Rhazar, a word roughly translated as "leader of the mountains", following an ancient nomadic tradition that allows the largely independent Rock Nomad caravans to elect a ruler among themselves. This decision alienated him from his ALA allies and the other nomads, forcing him to side with the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Harmaliik and his caravans have joined the kingdom war effort. He and his people were later granted the southeast territories of the New Kingdom for their support during the conflict.

===Brother Mikhail Ordau===
Little is known about Mikhail Oradu’s parentage. He was given to the Parivara at a very young age, left on the doorstep of Miran'mir's abbey. Thus the Family took him in as they do many small children, teaching him and educating him about S’rendarr and Messa. Mikhail was an accomplished writer for his age, but a speech impediment left him at a disadvantage when it came to oral presentations. The boy was known to be bookish, and spent much of his free time in the abbey’s library as well as its restricted section, thanks to his close friendship with the abbot.

He had an unusual interest in the sciences for a clergyman. As the Second Revolution loomed ahead, and whispers of splitting from the Republic crept into the local city, he busied himself with reading and tending to the monastery’s garden. Eventually, Miran’mir and all of northern Harr’masir split from the Republic to form the New Kingdom. With the war came plenty of hardship, and the Priests of S’rendarr did their best to help alleviate the tragedy amongst the peasants.

With little farmable land and a severe manpower disadvantage, the New Kingdom struggled to provide for its people. Starvation was a very real threat, and the abbey’s garden was not sufficient. A conflicted Mikhail turned once again to the abbey’s library and science for an answer; and, as though a miracle from the Suns themselves, one came. He discovered an ancient text detailing breeding methods for slaves, from long before the First Revolution. Suggestions on how to pass on desirable traits and mannerisms; to breed subservience. Controversial, but an unknowing descriptor of genetics and hereditary traits.

It was armed with this knowledge that Mikhail set about breeding new plants. Earthen roots, dirt berries, and more were cultivated for generations by Mikhail, aiming to pass on traits like hardiness and vitality. The plants became much more accustomed to growing in harsh conditions thanks to his work, and as the New Kingdom pushed back the Republicans and gained more territory, these hardier plants were easier to grow in the shell-shocked muddy battlefields. The threat of starvation became less and less pressing as more and more farms could deal with the way the war affected the terrain. For his efforts, Brother Mikhail was afforded a personal audience with the King.

===Oleg Al'Mor===
Born Oleg Murkov Al-Al’Mori in 2400, Oleg was a teenager when humanity stumbled upon the Tajara. His simple life of working and indentured servitude was suddenly upended with the influx of new ideals; he and his family, along with a contingent of other refugees of war avoided the conflicts erupting across the planet by staying in the mountains of Northern Harr’masir. To pass the time and keep themselves entertained, the telling of fireside epics became common. Oleg was noted to be imaginative with his tales even then, regaling other Tajara with stories of war and love.

Eventually, however, the nomadic hunter-gatherer life in the mountains could no longer support their numbers, and Oleg’s group descended from their hiding place. By this point, rebel armies had mostly taken hold of Kal’tir and the surrounding areas, giving Oleg relative freedom. When the war finally came to an end in 2432, Oleg was well known as a traveling bard and performer who earned his living using his creative skills entertaining war-weary soldiers and newly freed slaves. The stability that came with the formation of the People’s Republic afforded Oleg the opportunity to settle down in Kal’tir once again, where he took an interest in the local theater scene.

His first play, The Jester’s End, pioneered the form of black comedy and was a throwback to the days of servitude. Over the course of his career in Kal’tir, Oleg penned many more plays under his pseudonym Oleg Al’Mor, out of fear of inviting reprisals from the People’s Republic. Oleg’s plays were often scandalous or controversial for challenging the traditional morality held by Tajara. However, as time went on, his works became formulaic and much less shocking, and thus by extension more palatable to the average Tajara. Black comedy found a good home amongst the countless war veterans of the First Revolution.

Oleg considered himself an intellectual, and when the New Kingdom of Adhomai split from the People’s Republic he was an outspoken supporter. He and his family had experienced the benefits of the old ways, and with his considerable wealth from play royalties, he financed the New Kingdom with donations. Sadly, Oleg Al’Mor passed away in December of 2460 after completing his final work. The play, titled A Maiden’s Voyage, was particularly well-received, with even the King himself getting a private showing. Many of his works are still performed in theaters all over the New Kingdom’s territory.

==Others==

===Father Valyan K'rrirran===

''"From the stars, he saw Adhomai's cities and mountains become nothing more than specks. When he beheld the planet from far away, he realized that it was a small dot within this vast new galaxy. It was then he saw how truly special our homeland and our people are."''

''-Father Valyan K'rrirran, written as the ending to the prologue in his novel "An Introduction to The Twin Suns", 2430.''

Born in 2406 to a family of merchants in Dras’nrra, Valyan chose to join the faith at a young age, and became a fully-fledged Priest of S'rendarr in the midst of the First Revolution. It was during this time that Valyan had also become one of the first few Tajara to leave Adhomai. Settling on Xanu Prime in 2426 and remaining there until the war’s end in 2431, Valyan provided much of the first glimpses into the theology of the Tajara during this time. He, later on, returned home after publishing his novel written in Tau Ceti Basic on the history of the S’rendarr and Messa. Following the Second Revolution, he had replaced Walid Al’qat as The Father of the Parivara after Al’qat died of heart failure. Since gaining his position in 2462 the new Father has already demonstrated to Adhomai that he is able to rise to the task of leading the Parivara. Alongside his archivers, he had revealed misinterpretations in the vows of the Suns Sisters and amended the Vow of Silence to the original Vow of Whispers.

The Father has kept this momentum of progress going forward. In the same year, he began to assist with several archeological digs across Adhomai to gather more information on not just the history of the Suns faith, but also of the Tajara people. Much of this collection is digitalized and shared through a newly developed site (Simply dubbed “Parivara and Tajara History.pra”.) made by an influx of well-educated acolytes. Now, any curious Tajara or alien can find a trove of information on the Parivara and new details on the species’ history. This mix of preserving old traditions alongside progressing aspects of the church has made Valyan popular among the younger generations of Tajara, kindling their interest in the faith.

However, Valyan is not free of controversy. Some conspiracy theorists believe that he could have had a hand in the death of the previous Father, citing the lack of provided medical care and the quick selection of Valyan as the new Father. Others point to his connection to the revitalized Kin of S’rendarr and believe him to be funding the Kin, supplying them with off-world equipment and arms to continue their war against whoever is deemed the faith’s enemy. Nonetheless, these are regarded as little more than baseless rumors by much of the population.

===Rikdar Al'Manq===

Rikdar was born on '''2429''' the noble Njarir’Akhran Bayan line in Nal'Tor, with Bayan being his birth name. However, his parents were disappeared by Republic secret police in one of the frequent purges of Njarir’Akhran and he was put into state-run foster care. He has raised in the ''House Of Young Patriots'' orphanage until he was adopted at 14 to Hharar parents and took their last name of Al'Manq. As he was going to school his parents and teachers immediately took notice of his artistic abilities and interest in painting, which the orphanage had initially tried to discourage. In 2446, when he was 18, Rikdar won an art contest where he submitted a portrait of his Environmental Geology teacher and gained a prestigious scholarship in the Nal'Tor University of The Arts, a state-funded institution.

Rikdar attended the university for several years, though his studies were sometimes interrupted or delayed by the periodic waves of anti-Njarir’Akhran demonstrations and violence that gripped the campus. However, he quickly became a prodigy amongst his peers. Al'Manq's style of oil painting and doing portraits became a sensation in the capital, with the mayor and several city officials requesting their portraits done. Rikdar graduated from university at 20 years old in '''2450''' with a Bachelor of Arts. Having already received several high-profile commissions, including the then-President Al'Mari Hadii, whose portrait was done a week before his death. Al'Manq managed to survive the resulting chaos across Adhomai following the assassination of Al'Mari Hadii by the nature of his celebrity status, but his popularity remains confined within the major cities.

At only 29 years old in '''2458''' the ''Al'Manq Style'' has already become a famous style of painting across Adhomai. The Al'Manq Style is noted for its use of rich oil-based paint that focuses on portraits and profiles. The colors are often bold or show rich texture and color. The hands of Tajara are painted without being anatomically correct. Critics blast Al'Manq's apparent inability to draw hands correctly but Rikdar has stated that it's his personal style. This has influenced other artists, and many attempting to pay homage to Al'Manq draw hands as stubby. Rikdar remains extremely popular on Adhomai. The People's Republic remains a quiet supporter of his work, and state officials pay him handsome commissions for their portraits to be done, though they frown on him taking commissions from New Kingdom officials as well. The Adhomai Liberation Army has painted Rikdar as just another nobleman and several members of the Liberation Army have given open contempt for his work.

===Bloodstorm===

Bloodstorm is a famous and infamous DPRA Heavy Metal Band that has surged in popularity with the younger “denier” generation. Those in this generation are categorized not only by refusing the current status quo, but also have a general disdain towards a complete return to Tajara roots or liberalization through corporations. Fans of this band are usually punks, anarchists,s and jaywalkers. While the band mostly operated inside the DPRA, during one of their galactic tours their citizenships were revoked, making it impossible for them to return to Adhomai. They currently preside in Mendell City.

====Vargir Stenovich “Godslayer”====

The lead guitarist of the group, Vargir Stenovich is known as the spokesperson of the band and the most controversial figures. Admitting to being a Raskara cultist in public and calling out the Parivara on their “bedding with the government”. Vargir has been involved in numerous scandals including protesting military parades, playing one of his songs next to a work camp without permission, and lastly ingesting drugs on live television and proceeding to slander the ALA for bombing the NKA parliament.
[[File:Al-Atil.png|200px|thumb|right|Photo of Al-Atil at the Mztel'Mir concert, "War Is Fuck, Let's Do It", circa 2459.]]

====Janos Al-Lung “Drowner”====

Janos is the bassist of Bloodstorm and the only band member without a criminal record. He has frequently butted heads with Stenovich over the political extremities the band goes through to discredit not only PRA and NKA but also DPRA. Janos Al-Lung is currently the only member of Bloodstorm that is trying to re-apply for a DPRA citizenship.

====Al-Atil Csihar “Nightmaster”====

The vocalist, Al-Atil, is known for his “mrowl”, a high, long, yelp that is recorded as the loudest sound produced by a Tajara. He loves to interact with the public and often stays behind on the podium to sign autographs and fans using black or red spray paint.

====Cecil Kernov “Bloodletter”====

Cecil is the Drummer and has actually served time, unlike the other band members. Kernov has his nickname for a reason as he’s been charged with armed assault during his youth, which is how he met with Vargir. Later in life, he was arrested again, after he had brutally assaulted a fan who had climbed on stage with a drum, getting it stuck on said Tajara’s head and pushing him off the stage with a dropkick. This led to multiple fractures and long-term disabilities for the fan.

====The Mist “Mih”====

A yet unknown band member by the public, “Mih” remains anonymous always wearing a mask in public and never speaking. He plays the P'rrama, an old Tajara string instrument, with 8 strings mirrored in a long horn-like pipe that extends to the ground which emits a loud, brass twanging noise described as an over-amped guitar. "Mih" has been under investigation multiple times, however, the enigmatic member always manages to avoid the authorities.

'''Most Notable Albums Include:'''

''The Freezing Blizzard'' - An early, human metal-inspired album. "The Mih" was not a member at this time and the music avoids political messaging, mostly focused on heavy guitar riffs.

''War Is Fuck, Let's Do It'' - The "central" album of the band that rocketed them to popularity. Its anti-war messages resonated with a lot of the younger audiences who were tired of the usual acoustic and traditional sorrowful performances, preferring this new aggressive style.

''If Messa Was Here She'd Be a Whore'' - A distinctly anti-Parivara album, attacking their behavior towards women and female priests. The Mih joins the band around this time, employing the now-iconic P'rrama. While initially released to negative reviews, it slowly became a fan favorite.

''We Live in a Society'' - A very hateful album, attacking every faction on Adhomai, including the human Sol and Nanotrasen and their presence there.

''Shell In, Spine Out'' - Another anti-war album, the band's first attempt to create a narrative album describing the life of a dying soldier. Received both negatively and positively by the fans.

''S'rrendar Loves You Except He Doesn't'' - The critique of Parivara escalates in this album, would remain unnotable if it wasn't for the recording of Cecil attacking a fan with the drum.

''If You're Old You Should Die'' - A call to arms, actively encouraging the younger generations to overthrow the current system and drag all the politicians down. For many, this was a return to form, but also most likely the album that led to Bloodstorm's exile from the DPRA.

[[Tajara|Tajaran]] history and society has a long list of notable individuals and heroes that are known across [[Adhomai]].

==People's Republic==

''"Comrades, in this struggle we fight to protect the progress we have fought so hard to make in the preceding decades. Our march forever onwards for a Hadiist society must not be stopped by the usurpers who would see us become a brutish military dictatorship, nor those fetid imperialists who would restore the atrocities of the old ways."''

''- President Njadrasanukii Hadii, in a televised address to the people in 2452.''
===President Njadrasanukii Hadii===

[[File:Hadii portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the president, done in 2460.]]
Njadrasanukii Hadii, also known as Malik Hadii, was born in '''2402''' to the noble Njarir'Akhran Hadii line. His mother was Rajjurl Hadii, and his father Tajrhalrr Hadii. He got involved with the military at an early age, becoming a cadet for the Royal Navy at 16 and achieving a commission as a Lieutenant-Commander at 22, and leading his own destroyer as a Captain at 29. During the revolution, he briefly fought for the loyalists but was recalled to the Hadii Citadel to help defend his family's ancestral home. Following the revolution and the Hadii's rise in the new Federal Republic, Njadrasanukii was given the office of Vice-President under his brother Al'Mari Hadii.

Malik assumed the presidency in '''2451''' after the assassination of Al'mari. He continued his brother's early agenda of collaborating with NanoTrasen and other galactic powers. Njadrasanukii purged any suspicious elements from his administration after the Nated's coup, consolidating his power through the imprisonment and execution of anyone that threatened his regime. Further authoritarian measures were established by him; the expansion of the secret police, the rapid industrialization of the PRA, and further persecution against those who did not conform to his policies. Under Malik Hadii's control, the current form of Hadiism took shape; an ideology focused on the creation of a monolithic Tajaran culture under the unquestionable guidance of the Hadii political line. The office of the president had its powers largely expanded under his rule, allowing Njadrasanukii to control all aspects of the People's Republic government. Total loyalty to Njadrasanukii is expected from all Party members.

A state-endorsed cult of personality has been established around President Hadii. Through a robust propaganda system, republican citizens are informed daily about Malik's achievements and how only through his guidance the Republican can prosper. Portraits of President Hadii can be found in most Hadiist homes and government buildings. Njadrasanukii is known for his speeches praising his own administration and the bravery of his people; his voice can be heard frequently on the radio. While many admire him as a strong leader, others fear his ruthless ways of dealing with the opposition.

President Hadii is famous for his extreme paranoia. Very few high-ranking members of the Party have direct access to him and little is known about his private life. He is constantly surrounded by hand-picked members of the secret service; those bodyguards are always under the risk of being purged for any reason. It is rumored that he has survived more than three hundred assassination attempts.

Despite the outcome of the Second revolution, Njadrasanukii continues to rule the People's Republic with an iron grip. He did not give up his plans of reestablishing Hadiist hegemony over Adhomai.
[[File:headmaster portrait.png|200px|thumb|left|A rare picture of the camera shy Tyr'adrr, taken during the closure of an illegal protest, dated to 2459.]]
===Headmaster Harrrdanim Tyr'adrr===

Harrrdanim was born in '''2425''' to a M'sai family serving the Hadii during the First Revolution. Wishing to follow in the footsteps of his parents, he joined the Hadiist Party at a young age. He soon caught the attention of the People's Strategic Intelligence Service due to his craftiness and was given a position in the agency. Despite enjoying moderate success during the late years of Al’mari’s rule, Tyr'adrr rose to prominence after the President’s assassination. Leading several purges within the secret service, he was able to secure a promotion as the Headmaster after the previous head was arrested for suspicious behavior. Under Tyr’addr’s control, the PSIS became the feared terror machine it is today. Heavy investments in surveillance technology, the establishment of a robust web of informants, and the large-scale repression of political opponents greatly weakened the opposition in the People’s Republic. His supposed adventures during this period have spawned an entire "spy thriller" genre in the Republic.

After helping secure President Hadii's rule, Headmaster Harrdanim focused his efforts on fighting the Liberation Army and the New Kingdom. Ruthless anti-partisan campaigns were carried out under his supervision. The displacement of Chaniska’s native population, scorched-earth tactics in Northern Ras'nrr, and the creation of Try'urma Penitentiary were among some of his orders during the conflict. His actions during the Second Revolution earned him the reputation of being merciless and bloodthirsty. In spite of several assassination attempts, ALA agents failed to murder him and he continued his reign of terror unimposed.

Even after the Armistice, Headmaster Harrdanim continues to work tirelessly to undermine the enemies of the Republic. He has a large interest in securing the Tajara population living outside of Adhomai and is responsible for the PSIS presence in District Six. He is eager to suggest more authoritarian solutions and believes in increasing, even more, the state’s control over the population. Because of the role of the Strategic Service in the government, Tyr'adrr is one of the most powerful and hated Tajara in the People's Republic. While seemingly loyal to President Hadii, many in the Party fear where Tyr'adrr's ambition might lead him.

===Party Secretary Yakiv Hadii===

Yakiv Hadii was born in '''2412''' as the second cousin to President Hadii. While too young to take part in the First Revolution, Yakiv joined the Hadiist Party as soon as he could. During Njadrasanukii’s rule, he excelled as a bureaucrat due to his organizational skills. He managed the distribution of land and the establishment of communal farms during the Republican Agrarian reforms. Through a combination of political maneuvers and nepotism, he quickly climbed the Party's ranks. Yakiv sought to further the Republican relationship with NanoTrasen, seeking their support for the development of Adhomai. This stance caused him to lose Al’mari’s favor during the years leading to the Second Revolution. He was then demoted to an unimportant position in the Ministry of Agriculture.

Yakiv returned to prominence after Rhagrrhuzau’s assassination; he was seen as a way to link Malik’s rule to his now-deceased brother. Following the abolishment of the office of vice-president, Yakiv was promoted as the Party Secretary by Njadrasanukii. He became responsible for the internal organization and reviewing applications to the Party; he was quick to remove many of his political opponents from power using his new powers. Known as unquestionably loyal to President Hadii, he became infamous for being nothing but a yes man. He continued his policy of maintaining good relations with megacorporations, lobbying for more deals with NanoTrasen. Countless Tajara were given the opportunity to leave Adhomai due to his efforts, most sold as cheap labor while some others were able to acquire higher education. During the final stages of the war, he was one of the main proponents of the need for foreign intervention to save the People's Republic.

After the Armistice, Yakiv remained as Party Secretary. He is one of the closest advisors to President Hadii, helping Malik in matters related to internal and external affairs. Despite being an orthodox Hadiist, he is eager to push for changes to appease NanoTrasen and other foreign powers in an attempt to gain their support. Many within the Party see Yakiv as a power-hungry and untrustworthy politician, eager to abuse his power to reach what he wants. Others recognize him as a cunning politician with a rather dangerous influence over President Hadii.

===Minister of Defense Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar===

Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar was born into a Hharar peasant family in '''2428'''. He was raised around veterans of the first revolution and was always interested in their stories. Owing to the new opportunities brought by the People’s Republic, Irbaykhan enrolled in a military academy and joined the Grand People's Army as an officer. He survived the purges of the early Hadiist government because of his political reliability; as he was one of the first army leaders to support President Hadii during his ascension. This left him in the privileged situation of being one of the few properly trained officers at the dawn of the Nated’s coup.

Irbaykhan quickly climbed the ranks of the Republican Army during the Second Revolution. Making extensive use of artillery and motorized troops, he secured early victories that gave much-needed breathing room to the fragile Republic. While in command of the Dymtris Front in '''2456''', he pushed the New Kingdom into the defensive position that they would remain in until the very end of the war. Mirarkiizar’s final promotion during the conflict was to the theater commander of the Rass’nrr Military District. With the help of the alien allies of the Republic, he managed to recapture the main region of the continent. He was given a seat in the Ministry of Defense after the Armistice, working alongside the upper echelons of the Party to refine the Republic’s strategy.

Unlike most members of the Ministry of Defense, Irbaykhan has both political connections and practical experience in the field. This combination has made him one of President Hadii’s closest advisors in regard to military matters. Currently, he is responsible for the Hro'zamal campaign. Mirarkiizar sees the Grand People's Army as an essential component of the Hadiist state; the ever-vigilant guardian of the Republic against its enemies. The Minister believes that strict discipline and union towards a common goal is the best way to safeguard the future of the People’s Republic.

===Minister of Technology Zhuldyz Hadii===

Born in '''2420''' to the Hadii dynasty, Zhuldyz enjoyed the many privileges granted to her family. She grew up fascinated by the new technologies brought by human contact; she would spend hours tinkering and dismantling electronics during her childhood. Later she was sent to study in prestigious Solarian universities, where she ventured into the field of robotics. Zhuldyz returned to Adhomai in 2449 and was granted a post in the Ministry of Technology.

Using the knowledge acquired off-world, Zhuldyz drew plans with the objective of modernizing the Republic through a technological revolution. The rapid industrialization aided by mechatronics would bring prosperity to the Tajara. While many of her initial projects were abruptly interrupted by Rhagrrhuzau's assassination, she remained in her position due to being a member of the Hadii dynasty. The unstable early years of Njadrasanukii’s presidency were unfavorable towards her dreams; stopping Nated’s coup and the Royalist uprising were top priorities at the time. However, as the frontlines stagnated and a semblance of normalcy returned to the People’s Republic, Zhuldyz had the chance to convince President Hadii of her plans. Knowing that losing the war would put an end to her pursuits, she turned her genius to the military field. Victory could be achieved through technological superiority. She was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Hadii Institute of Orbital Research|Hadii Institute of Orbital Research]], the expansion of the [[Tajara_Space_Capability#PRA_Army_Wing|Orbital Fleet]], and the creation of the Tesla Brigade. Zhuldyz was promoted to the office of the Minister of Technology shortly before the Armistice.

The Adhomian Cold War became the perfect testing ground for Zhuldyz's projects. She sees the period of peace as an opportunity to turn the People's Republic into a technological powerhouse. Zhuldyz believes that the future of Hadiism lies in science and that the Republic must become advanced enough to subjugate its enemies. Minister Hadii is not interested in ethical or safe research; she is eager to pursue dangerous and questionable experiments. No price is too small to pay during the march of progress. President Hadii gave Zhuldyz near uncontested authority to lead the Ministry of Technology. She was the mind behind the creation of the first independent robotic factory on Adhomai.

===Secretary of the Navy Hura'zhi Mira'zkui===

Born in '''2422''' to an exiled line of minor nobility from the Zatushka Kingdom, Mira’zkui grew up in the chaos of the First Revolution as the armies of the Hadiist rebels marched across Adhomai. When the dust had settled, despite his personal wishes to enter the party itself, his family would convince him to uphold their old traditions and join the forming Republican Navy in '''2447'''. It was then that Mira’zkui met Dynhaas and joined the Oceanmasters Lounge.

During the chaos of Dynhaas’ defection in '''2450''', Mira’zkui narrowly avoided his own death. Informed early by a loyal lieutenant that his own crew was plotting to kill him, Mira’zkui fled in a lifeboat and watched as his fellow officers were thrown screaming from the decks of their own ships. A few days later, he was found on the shores of Ras’nrr. As the Republic fell into chaos, Mira’zkui returned to the Republican Navy as Secretary, entrusted by Malik Hadii to fight against the pirate flotillas of the ALA and the Royal Navy. However, Mira’zkui’s loyalty was not able to make up for his inexperience. While the last of the Liberation Army’s pirate vessels were sunk, he was unable to contend with the strength of the Royal Navy and unable to achieve his personal desire: Capturing or killing Dynhaas.

Post-War, Mira’zkui has largely become reclusive and withdrawn from the public eye. While he continues to try and develop the Republican navy, Mira’zkui is forced to contend with funding going towards the projects of the Orbital Navy and Grand People’s Army. With a relationship of mutual dislike between himself and Zhuldyz Hadii, many within the party believe that Mira’zkui will likely be replaced eventually. How he would react to being denied any chance for revenge against Dynhaas is something no one knows.

===Chief Naval Commander Samirro Qarrarhaz===

Born in Northern Ras’nrr in '''2407''', Samirro was the son of a loyal M'sai general in the Hadii Hegemony. Qarrarhaz's family raised and taught him to follow in his father’s footsteps. He would become an artillery officer in '''2428''', finding great success during combat against monarchist groups through using extensive shelling to force and flush out the enemy. By '''2431''' Qarrarhaz was moved into Southern Harr’masir to prepare for an invasion of the Kingdom of Kaltir. His artillery crews were among those who scoured the Kingdom following its surrender, shelling whatever villas, castles, and manors they had found. A staunch ally of Al’mari Hadii and his family, Qarrarhaz has always stood by the Hadii family and the republic they had later built.

While also providing training for future artillery commanders in the interwar period, Qarrarhaz became part of a committee formed by President Al’mari Hadii to plan and prepare a space fleet for the PRA. He, along with other committee members, traveled to the Coalition of Colonies' planets of Xanu Prime and Himeo to observe anti-piracy operations in order to better develop the PRA’s own future space warfare doctrine in '''2452'''. When the Orbital Fleet was completed by '''2457''', Qarrarhaz was appointed Chief Naval Commander by President Malik Hadii. Since then, he has won numerous victories against piracy, smugglers, and even bested a [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/?do=findComment&comment=114422 Sol cruiser].

Post-war, Qarrarhaz continues to lead his spaceships and Kosmostrelki in the defense of the PRA’s claimed space. Comfortable and experienced in his position, Qarrarhaz has begun to speak more on the future of the PRA’s ventures into space. Controversially, the Commander has stated that the PRA must eventually extend its hand to the numerous small colonies and off-worlder communities dotting the frontier around them. Arguing that Hadiism’s light must be spread beyond Tajara, it is his belief that the PRA must one day uplift these groups from their poverty and absorb them into the state.

===Minister of Education Kalim Khazdar===

Kalim Khazdar was born in '''2430''' to a family of Hharar foremen in the city of Tampiska. Deemed a bright child by his teachers, he was sent to study in Al'marii. Captivated by the tales of progress and prosperity brought by the interwar period, Kalim enrolled at the Al'marii College of Hadiist Sciences. He continued his studies intending to become a college teacher. During his time as a student, he became a good friend and protégé of the rector of the university, Mahir Hadii. His friendship with a member of the political dynasty opened many doors for him.

Kalim joined the Hadiist party during the Second Revolution. He later visited Tau Ceti to study the Adhomian community there; his experiences in District Six deeply affected his ideas. He saw all the social problems that those who lived under the megacorporation rule were subject to. Instead of losing faith in Hadiism, he started to believe that reforms were necessary to save the People's Republic; NanoTrasen should be a means to an end, not the end itself. Kalim returned to Adhomai in 2459 and became a college professor. Thanks to his connections, he soon got involved with the administration and politics of the university. His papers on the subject of Hadiist education were generally well-received by the academia.

With the Armistice of Shastar, Kalim Khazdar aligned himself to the Young Hadiist faction; his sympathy towards the movement was largely unknown to the Party. His ascension to the position of Minister of Education in 2463 was the result of a confidential deal between his mentor and President Hadii. Despite being considered a powerless and inexperienced politician by the other members of the Hadiist cabinet, Kalim is not to be underestimated. Cunning will be necessary to avoid the wrath of President Hadii and his lackeys. The path to a truly free People's Republic will be a long and difficult one.

===Yasmin Piaf===

[[File:Yasmin portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A piece of a poster, promoting Yasmin Piaf's concert, 2463.]]
Yasmina Burokov, aka Yasmin Piaf, was born in 2434 in the suburbs of Nal'tor to a particularly well-off Njarir'Akhran family. Yasmin's father, Boris Burokov was a low-ranking State department official and devout loyalist of the People's Republic. She spent her childhood being educated in the best State-run schools their family could afford and enjoyed relative wealth and prosperity far from the poorer outskirts of the city.

Even from a young age, Yasmin was interested in music. She was part of her school's choir and participated in several nationwide contests for the honor of singing for President Rhagrrhuzau Hadii. The all-female 'Band of Njarir Maidens' consisting of Yasmin and her classmates eventually won and sang for the President and other members of his cabinet at the end of the annual military parade held in Nal'tor. Eventually, she graduated and went on to the Academy of Musical Arts with a full scholarship.

Talent scouts pruning the burgeoning academy's student pool for the next starlet eventually discovered Yasmin during rehearsals for the school's upcoming musical, and she signed a tentative deal with the small publication Vostak Recordings. Her first record, simply titled The Man in Rouge, was released with minimal fanfare. Given that she had sung a small solo during her performance for the President, some Tajara recalled her name.

Yet her voice, described by some as angelic and innocent, found purchase with an aging generation of Tajara who wished a brief return to peaceful normalcy following the First Revolution. Her dedication to the traditional pop standard and recognition for torch songs eventually elevated her to the status of a household name, with her recording label releasing hit after hit. As a result, Yasmin Piaf has become one of the most famous singers in the modern era - one who has fostered a close relationship with State officials. She is one of the few artists who are approved to be played on State radio KGTW-11.

===Andrey Borisov===

Out of all the Tajara that one could argue embody loyalty to the People’s Republic, perhaps none are more memorable than Andrey Alexander Borisov. In the average Republican household, his name is just as common as President Hadii’s, owing to the fact that he is the face of State propaganda and news network RAFИ. Born in 2416 to a line of M’sai warriors, Andrey was not even two years old before humanity stumbled across Adhomai and lit the flame that ignited the First Revolution.

Andrey’s father and uncle were killed in the uprising, leaving him, his mother, and his sister alone to fend for themselves. His mother curried favor with the local rebel leader when their town fell to the onslaught of war; she became his concubine and, later, his wife. The ever-advancing front saw Andrey moved from home to home, where the young M’sai would often spend time talking to soldiers recovering after harsh fighting. They nourished a sense of patriotism in him, and eventually, he came to see the First Revolution as necessary for the future of the Tajara.

The war ended in 2432, when he was merely 16 years old. As the newly founded People’s Republic began the arduous transition from a movement to a government, Andrey’s connections with the upper echelon of PRA politicians bore fruit. He was taken on as a member of an officer’s general staff, headquartered in Nal’Tor, where he served as little more than a glorified secretary. His position put him in contact with the elite, however, and many found him charming and personable. His silver tongue earned him the interest of Dmitrys Marakov, the owner of the only State-approved television station at that point in time.

His ascension from lowly secretary to the major news anchor for RAFИ was one that involved plenty of political maneuvering, money - and, rumored by some, violence - but ultimately Andrey had proved his loyalty to the political elite of the People's Republic and he was rewarded with the honor of being their mouthpiece. As a result, no Tajara on Adhomai can go very long without seeing his smiling face on their television set, spinning the next story or cover-up at the behest of the State.

==Democratic People's Republic==

''"We are soldiers. We are fighters. We are war. We have forsaken the corrupt and decaying corpse of the xeno-loving People's Republic. We have left our homes and our families, but our cause is righteous. The suns are with us! The vile usurper of my friend and comrade Al'mari will have justice delivered to him! We will spill the blood of our enemies until our struggles are seen and heard, and we WILL retake OUR Republic!"

''- Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan, the day after the coup de tat began, 2451.''

===Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan===
[[File:Nateed portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A surprise picture of Nated, taken in 2458.]]
Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan was born in '''2404''' to a M'sai family under the service of the Hadii Dynasty. The son of a royal guard, Nated interacted with many Njarir children in his early life. He grew to resent their narcissism but was prepared to inherit his duty nonetheless. When the First Revolution ignited in '''2421''', Halkiikijr fought for the loyalists alongside the Hadii family. Becoming a battle-brother of Rhagrrhuzau Hadii, or better known as Al'Mari Hadii, Nated stood with the Hadii’s decision to abandon their royal roots and join the revolutionaries. When the war ended Al'Mari was sworn into office, Halkiikijr was made a Commander in Chief of the Republican Army in return for his service.

Al'Mari supposedly made promises of swearing-in Halkiikijr as the next president of the People's Republic once the political climate on Adhomai had stabilized. The legitimacy of this claim is not known, but what is known is that Al'Mari was assassinated during a military parade in '''2451''' and Njadrasanukii Hadii, vice president of the People's Republic, swore himself in as the successor of the presidency. Outraged at the assassination and accusing Njadrasanukii of treachery against the People’s Republic, Nated organized a coup against Malik. Bringing together military commanders dissatisfied with the new Hadiist policies, Halkiikijr created the Adhomai Liberation Army to dethrone the new President. He then took the title of Supreme Commander.

As the putsch attempt was thwarted by the Hadiist forces, Nated fled to Shastar City. The coup then turned into a full-blown civil war between the Liberation Army and the People’s Republic. Without off-world help, Nated called to arms anyone willing to support his cause. His movement became a unifying front to all kinds of elements opposing President Hadii; from democratic reformers to extremists fighting to free Adhomai from alien influence. For a decade, Halkiikijr led the Liberation Army as an effective opposing force against the People’s Republic and the New Kingdom. He favored the extensive use of irregular warfare coupled with the deployment of the army to secure decisive battles. A cult of personality formed around Halkiikijr; extremists claimed that he was a prophet sent by the Gods. The Supreme Commander took advantage of this belief to cultivate undying loyalty and fanaticism among his followers.

Believing that the territories under his control were ready for a democracy modeled after the Al'mariist principles, Nated's undisputed rule came to an end with the creation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai. Halkiikijr retired from his position as Supreme Commander to prevent a coup against the newly elected president. His retirement did not last long; he returned to power because of the Amohdan crisis in '''2462'''. Nated was given back the control of the Liberation Army and its remaining juntas to retake the Island of Amohda. After this display of weakness, Halkiikijr is unsure if the DPRA is truly ready to rule Adhomai. For him, the ALA is now more essential than before. Nated also faces infighting between his two right-hand men; commander Kahan and Kyff.

===Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad===

Kahan Hro'rammhad was born in '''2412''' to a Hharar family as their oldest children. A peasant from birth in the region of Southern Harr'masir, he was taught the traditional values of S'rendarr and Messa by his deeply religious parents. His childhood was cut short by the outbreak of the First Revolution; his family was expelled from their lands by the war. Thanks to its flat terrain, Southern Harr’masir saw the first deployment of armored vehicles in the conflict; trains, civilian cars, and trucks were outfitted for warfare by the rebels. Hro’rammhad joined the crew of an armored car as soon he turned 14 years old. Because of the high mortality among the revolutionaries, Kahan quickly found himself in the command of his own brigade. He became famous for his excellent use of the vehicles’ speed to encircle the enemy, and for his merciful nature. Monarchists soldiers were always given the chance of joining his side after capture. Hro’rammhad also forbade unnecessary executions and mistreatment of prisoners among his fighters.

Commander Kahan and his brigade were incorporated into the Hadiist faction shortly before the end of the First Revolution. As a member of the Republican Army, he was a major proponent of the transformation of the People’s Army into a motorized force. Tank brigades and motostrelki units were created under his supervision. Kahan funded the reconstruction of many temples destroyed during the revolution and frequently donated to charity through the interwar period. Hro’rammhad joined Nated’s coup due to his profound disagreement with Malik’s policies; he saw the oppression of the Zhan-Khazan as morally corrupt. Armored units that defected alongside him were organized into the Hro'rammhad Tank Corps under his command.

Hro'rammhad remained a merciful and pious Tajara through the Second Revolution. He rejected the notion of irregular warfare and continued to offer mercy to his enemies. As the leader of the main armored force in the Liberation Army, Kahan played an important role in decisive battles. This position allowed him to become a right-hand man for Nated. As part of his religiousness, Hro'rammhad considered the conflict to be a battle to protect the faith against the innate atheism of Hadiism. Religious imagery and motifs became common among his Tajara. The men under Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad are known to have the utmost respect for his bravery and mercy, most even going so far as to worship him as an embodiment of S'rendarr's justice. His success during the civil war earned him the nickname of “Undefeated Commander".

Despite the armistice, Commander Kahan remains as one of the second-in-command for Halkiikijr. He is an avid supporter of the transition to democracy, advocating for the dismantlement of the juntas. This position earned him many enemies among the more authoritarian elements within the Liberation Army. He is known to despise Commander Kyff Hotak for his tactics and personality. Both Tajara are currently engaged in an internal struggle to consolidate their influence over the Liberation Army.

===Commander Kyff Hotak===

Born in the year '''2406''' to a family of Zhan-Khazan miners in the Trizar, Kyff Hotak was supposedly destined to slave away for his Njarir master as his ancestors did for many generations. To avoid this fate, Hotak fled his home as a young Tajara. He ran into the wilderness until he found a bandit camp. Because of his age, the brigands decided to adopt Kyff as the group’s mascot. The boy grew up witnessing all kinds of crime and violence; later taking part in the band’s activity when old enough. The bandits sided with the rebels during the First Revolution in search of plunder. But their greed was their undoing; the criminals were massacred by the revolutionaries after they were discovered stealing rations. Hotak survived by being the one to report the activities of his previous comrades. As the war dragged on, Kyff became more bold and cruel in his revolutionary activities. He frequently engaged in assassinations, massacres, and false flag operations to crush the monarchists’ morale. Hotak was soon feared by his comrades and hated by his enemies. To him, everything was permissible to achieve victory. Impressed by the victories of the Hadii faction, he joined them as part of the early Ha'narr Corps.

The interwar period was fairly unremarkable for Kyff Hotak; he was given a low-ranking office position in the intelligence department. While Hotak advocated for the recreation of a force similar to the Mountain Ghost Corps, his request was ignored by the Hadiist high command. Memories of his excess in the First Revolution stopped Hotak from receiving any further promotions. He grew discontent with the People’s Republic, believing that he deserved more for his service. Seeing Nated's coup as an opportunity to rise to power, Kyff defected to the Liberation Army without hesitation.

Hotak organized his own unit of commando early into the war; a battalion trained in stealth operations. As a major proponent of irregular warfare, he also helped organize guerilla cells and coordinate terrorist attacks. The success of these groups granted him enough influence to become one of Nated's right-hand men. However, Commander Kyff quickly returned to his old ways; he started to wage a campaign of unrestrained terror. The presence of his soldiers became a harbinger of indiscriminate persecution, murder, excessive property requisition, and collective punishment against any community suspected of working with the enemy. Despite the protest of the civilian population and Commander Kahan, Halkiikijr refused to replace Kyff. Taking advantage of his reputation, Hotak ordered his Tajara to spread stories of him being the earthly manifestation of Messa's wrath. This tactic proved to be effective both among his enemies and allies.

Commander Kyff Hotak remains in service even after the armistice. Many within the army and the civilian administration desire to see Hotak punished for his war crimes, but Supreme Commander Nated continues to protect him. Kyff is a hardline supporter of the more authoritarian elements in the government and desires a strong centralized leadership above all else. He and Commander Hro'rammhad are rivals; both Tajara commonly fight each other over which direction the Liberation Army should go. Hotak is always accompanied by his pet [[Adhomai#Farwa (Tree-Hopper)|Farwa]], Ghiyath.

===President Almrah Harrlala===
[[File:harrlala portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the president during one of her speeches, done in 2461.]]
President Almrah Harrlala was born in '''2426''' to a family of Hharar factory workers in Shastar City. While her childhood was relatively unaffected by the First Revolution, she enjoyed many of the benefits brought by the People’s Republic during the interwar period. Being the first member of her household to receive a proper education, she became involved in the Party’s politics at a considerable young age. She believed that a stable democracy built upon the will of the people was the best path for Adhomai. She was also wary of the presence of megacorporations on the planet, considering their activities as harmful to the development of the Tajara species She campaigned for more worker’s rights and laws restricting corporation’s activities in the PRA. Almrah held a position within the Party until the ascension of President Njadrasanukii Hadii; he ordered the arrest of Harrlala due to her views.

Harrlala was held prisoner in Shastar during the first moments of the Civil war, only the capture of the city by the Liberation Army saved her from being transferred to another location. Hoping to continue her career in politics, she aligned herself with the rebels. Even if the despotic and extremist tendencies of the ALA worried Almrah, she held to Nated's promise of saving the Republic. She was given the position of Provisional Minister of Civil Rights when the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai was established.

As the Minister of Civil Rights, Almrah worked to protect the regional identities present in the DPRA. Her campaign to end military rule over the country while still upholding the principles of Al’mariism made her a popular figure among the moderate sectors of the population. Seeking to expand her political influence, she founded the National Adhomai Worker's Party. She was one of the candidates in the presidential elections of '''2460'''; she won the office of president by a narrow margin. President Harrlala’s ascension to power displeased the authoritarian wing of the Liberation Army, the military then planned a coup to restore their own rule. The putsch was stopped by the intervention of Supreme Commander Nated, who later resigned from his position to grant more powers to the civilian administration.

Following the Armistice, President Almrah Harrlala continued with her internal policies while maintaining a strong stance against foreign dominance. Under her rule, schools to preserve local cultures and languages were established, Gakal’zaal was liberated from the Unathi rule, and the DPRA developed its nuclear program. Her status as one of the first female rulers in modern Tajaran history has inspired many women to engage in DPRA politics. However, her regime is plagued with deep issues. The ghost of separatism lingers over the nation after the Amohdan attempt to secede. Her ability to reconcile the various factions in the government was severely doubted when she failed to draw a plan to handle the rebellious island. Since the return of Halkiikijr to power, the authoritarian elements see this as a moment of weakness in the young Republic. President Harrlala must be ready to face further opposition if she wants to see her vision of Adhomai come to life.

===Ex-interim President Brajrr Alnadruskiy===

Born in '''2423''' in the city of Mztel’mir, Brajjr Alnadruskiy was the youngest child of a family of brewers. He later joined the Republican Army at 17 years old, slowly climbed the ranks through diligent service to the military. Brajrr attributed the prosperity of interwar Adhomai to the strong leadership of President Al’mari; he believed that the Republic always needed a strongman in control to succeed. He severely doubted Malik’s competence because of his decision to undo his brother’s reform.

Brajrr finally rose to prominence with Nated's coup. Upon hearing of the revolution, he rallied the Liberation Army’s aligned troops in Das’nrra to assault Shastar. Alnadruskiy's attack was successful and he was named the Rrhaza-Akhran of the city. Shastar became the headquarter of the ALA, giving Brajrr a reasonable amount of influence within the army high command. He was known for his rigorous discipline and unforgiving nature. Many war prisoners were forced into labor by his orders. Brajrr was given the position of Interim President when the Democratic People’s Republic was created.

Alnadruskiy ran for president in the 2460 elections, seeking to centralize the nation and maintain the Army’s sway over the government. He founded the Free Tajaran People’s Party, gathering the most authoritarian elements in the Republic. After Almrah Harrlala’s victory by a narrow margin, he took part in the putsch against the newly elected president. Despite the defeat of the mutiny, Brajrr managed to convince Halkiikijr that he was forced by the extremists to join them. He was released and allowed to return to politics.

Ex-interim President Brajjr Alnadruskiy now leads the opposition to Harrlala’s regime. He continues to support a centralized state under the leadership of Supreme Commander Nated. Even when the successes of the current administration displease him, their latest crisis has given him enough to challenge Almrah. The return of Halkiikijr to the control of the Army is also considered a victory for him and his followers. Alnadruskiy awaits for the right moment of weakness to retake control of the DPRA.

===Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar===

The first and thus far only incident of weapons of mass destruction being employed on Adhomai happened in 2458, when the People’s Republic dropped a four-megaton nuclear bomb on the Liberation Army base in Quizosa. The death toll from the detonation was staggering, but the fallout from the bomb was carried on strong winds, leading to severe cases of radiation poisoning from the neighboring camps.

Tajara medical experience with radiation poisoning and the effects of nuclear bombs were practically non-existent. The only species in the galaxy that had the technology long before the Tajara were Xenos, and the Liberation Army did not have the luxury of free contact with extraplanetary forces. With the sick and dying mounting, a call for help was sent out to the surrounding territories. Many physicians and doctors made the long and difficult journey in the winter snows to help - at the forefront of them, Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar.

The effects of the bomb were catastrophic. Survivors were badly burned. Their fur fell out, never to grow back again - leaving them susceptible to Adhomai’s frigid temperatures. Their skin peeled off in sickly ribbons, hanging limply to the ground. Doctors were at a loss, with only a rudimentary understanding of what could have happened. Dr. Aleksandra took a sort of unofficial command of the medical effort, and coordinated efforts to assist the sick and dying.

Liberation-sympathetic Tajara, at her prodding, recovered as many documents as they could regarding the atom bomb from PRA-aligned holdings, downloading information from the extranet and thieving textbooks from high-security locations. Thanks to her ingenuity and leadership, the haphazard medical team of doctors saved a great many innocents from a slow, painful death - though they would have to live with the effects of the bomb for the rest of their lives. Dr. Aleksandra is widely known for her opposition to nuclear proliferation, due to her experiences, and has become the face of a growing anti-WMD movement across Ras’narr.

===Arzjun Haurjuhrl===

Rumors persist that Arzjun Haurjuhrl was sired out of wedlock, a result of an affair between a Zhan-Khazan mistress and a rebel leader. He was born in '''2427''' in the warmer regions near the city of Olska, and lived alone with his mother. He was scarcely a child when the war ended and the People’s Republic came to prominence. Both he and his mother suffered much in the way of discrimination - for being Zhan-Khazan as well as having a bastard child. This disconnect between what the People’s Republic promised and the way they were treated caused the young Arzjun to become disillusioned with the Republic.

He was further tested when his mother suddenly fell ill and died in the winter of 2445. With nothing left tying him down, abandoned as he had been by Adhomain society, he took what little funds they had been saving and paid a smuggler to carry him off-world. It took every penny but eventually, he found himself in Mendell City, carrying nothing but the clothes on his back. For a time, he lived on the streets, forced to beg to make ends meet. He soon found work at one of the shelters he had often stayed at. The community of Little Adhomai was more welcoming to him than the homeworld had been.

Deciding to pay back the kindness he received, he took part in many community outreach programs, including plays and dramas for the children of Little Adhomai. His passion for the arts as a medium of expression took root here, and his name rose to some prominence amongst the local Tajara population thanks to his charity work. He aspired to work on his own big picture and got his chance thanks to the collective donations of many Tajara. Wealthy Xenos also had an interest in seeing what the immigrant could do, though perhaps a few thought it would look good as a public relations move.

The script he wrote went through many revisions and sat for a good while before it was picked up by a studio. The community who had helped him before had done it once again; the surprise blockbuster When Summer Came to Nazira was one of the top ten highest-grossing films in Biesel history. Its anti-tyranny message was seen by some as an expression of the director’s own viewpoint on the People’s Republic. In some ways, they were correct - Arzjun is a quiet supporter of the DPRA, which has put him at odds with the Republican government. As a result, his film is banned from showing on Adhomai - though this has not stopped smuggled copies from being distributed amongst DPRA theaters.

==New Kingdom==

''"Loyal subjects, countrymen, brothers. It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that we must conscript from the provinces in order to maintain our fight in this war. However, you are not alone. Even as the new compulsory service legislature is passed, the aristocrats across the kingdom are likewise mobilized under a new service gentry system, so that all of the Kingdom is together in this struggle."''

''- King Vahzirathaamro Azunja, announcing the beginning of conscription and formalization of the service gentry in 2453.''

=== King Vahzirthaamro Azunja===

King Azunja was born in 2400 in the city of Kaltir to the noble Njarir’Akhran Azunja line. His father was Farkhanzirhal and his mother Dramahdarmah. Located in the far reaches of Kaltir, the Azunja family line was one of compassion and fair treatment, as only in unity and brotherhood could they hope to survive the harsh far reaches of Northern Adhomai. Their peasants were kept well and treated with dignity, and the nobles, while privileged, never indulged in cruelty. A noble paige since the age of 10, Vahzirthaamro excelled in reading and writing from an early age. He prepared to inherit the family throne as the sole son of his parents until the first civil war of Adhomai ignited in 2421.

When war broke out between the nobility and peasants, house Azunja was hesitant to pick sides, as they disagreed with the morals of both sides. Their distant position in the wild made them capable of ignoring the war until its end, as the Hadii family was placed at the head of Adhomai in 2432. Carrying the flags of the newly founded People's Republic of Adhomai, the Republic's army demanded the surrender of all nobility in Kaltir. The entire populace requested to be left in peace, as the peasantry and nobility there had never declared war on one another. Believing the peasants were utterly spineless and brainwashed, the People's Republic executed all current nobles ruthlessly, scattering the royalty of the region. Vahzirthaamro was placed in prison by his father's retinue of intellectuals, who declared he had to remain hidden amongst the lowest of the low if he wished to stay alive. From that moment on, Vahzirthaamro Azunja knew that peace was impossible so long as a compromise was not made, and a true constitutional monarchy was made the unanimous government on Adhomai.

Word passed amongst the Tajara at the work camps about the possibility that Vahzirthaamro still lived as many pre-war intellectuals gathered with him in private. They spun every possibility of a government, even discussing adopting human political systems as they gathered workers, fighters, poets, and philosophers to form an organized nation as they spread their ideas to the guards of the facility, a majority of which who were old peasants under the Azunja family who thought the entirety of the nobility had been executed. Delighted to see his return, they joined his side and swore allegiance to his family once more.

In 2449, in the middle of the night, Vahzirthaamro was released in secret along with the entirety of his retinue, as they quickly spread from town to town, asking for assistance from newly appointed officials and workers. Before long, the reminiscent families of the Kaltir region were happy to rejoin their flock. By 2450 his claim to rule had spread to all of Northern Harr'masir, and the New Kingdom of Adhomai officially seceded as an independent nation under the newly declared King Vahzirthaamro Azunja. He then led the Kingdom for the next decade, managing the balance between the different factions within the government and the ongoing war. Vahzirthaamro became a unifying figure for the population. After successfully securing Kaltir's ancient lands and negotiating the armistice that brought the end to the war, King Vahzirthaamro passed away in 2463. His niece, Shumaila Azunja, inherited his throne.

===Queen Shumaila Azunja===

[[File:Shumaila portrait.png|200px|thumb|right| A portrait done of Queen Shumaila Azunja, holding the ceremonial orr'bu s'rrendar, circa 2460.]]
Shumaila Azunja was born in 2431 in Northern Harr’smirr, as the daughter of one of the kingdom’s princes. She survived the Republican slaughter by being hidden away among the peasantry, raised in secret by individuals still loyal to the old ruling dynasty. From a young age, Shumaila began to participate in secretive royalist circles within Kaltir. Here, she began her service to the kingdom by helping distribute leaflets proclaiming the coming of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. When the uprising broke out in 2450, she joined the new Imperial Adhomian Army. Shumaila then rose through the officer ranks quickly, becoming a commander in the Jabrut Almumalik and establishing a name for herself on the front.

Many of those who served under Shumaila describe her as being a woman of unbreakable will, never faltering as casualties stacked or as barrages shattered the ground around her. Some even say she wouldn’t even blink at the sight of the PRA’s dreaded tanks rolling towards the lines. For her exploits in the war’s 2459 offensive and the defense of the Vlrralkhzazhul line, Shumaila came to be known as “The Storm of Harr’smir”, matching her iron will with a burning fury to destroy the kingdom’s enemies.

In 2460, after meeting with several prospective heirs, King Vahzirthaamro had chosen his niece Shumaila to serve as the Crown Heir. Although the majority supported this decision alongside most of Parliament and the nobility, a large fraction remained wary of the decision of a military leader over other options. However, this opposition has shrunk over the past few years. Shumaila remains strong on her position of expanding the military, but she has also spoken about increasing ties to the galaxy’s Megacorporations to modernize the New Kingdom. Nor has she made any comments regarding changing the democratic systems of Parliament and the Chamber. Coupled with her public appearances and active presence in the newspapers, many woes and worries of her ascension have been dissuaded.

Since entering the public eye in 2459, Shumaila enjoys much support from the women of Kaltir. Many look to her as an inspiration, buying “military” style jackets to emulate her look, given that Shumaila became one of the few Tajara women to lead a nation. However, this fame has also led to calls from the nobility and her family to choose a husband. Shumaila retains that her marriage comes after her coronation. She was finally crowned in 2463 after King Azunja passed away. Outside of continuing her uncle's legacy, her plans to the Kingdom are still unclear to the wide public
[[File:Marshal portrait.png|200px|thumb|left| A portrait of Field-Marshal Zarkradar'Akhan, circa 2420.]]
===Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan===

Rrhazhal was born in '2380 to the noble Njarir’Akhran Zarkradar'Akhan line, however, he was a legitimized bastard of a Zhan-Kazan maid. As the youngest of his brothers, Rrhazhal was sent into the service of the Azunja family as King Farkhanzirhal Azunja's servant at the age of 10. King Azunja noticed the young child had a talent for philosophy and strategy. The two had many intellectual discussions together as Rrhazhal quickly became a trusted advisor of King Farkhanzirhal by the time he was 20. At this time, King Azunja decided he trusted Rrhazhal with protecting the life of the newly born Vahzirthaamro. On the eve of the First Civil War, Rrhazhal was tasked with training the peasantry of Kaltir in order to defend their fiefdom and nobility against attackers. When Kaltir was annexed by the People's Republic of Adhomai in 2432, Farkhanzirhal frenziedly ordered Rrhazhal to hide Vahzirthaamro before People's Republic soldiers stormed the palace, killing almost everyone. From then on Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan personally accompanied Vahzirthaamro Azunja as his protector and chief advisor.

In 2450, once the New Kingdom had officially declared independence from the People's Republic of Adhomai, Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan was promoted to the rank of Field-Marshal personally by King Azunja, and today oversees all military operations inside of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Respected for his tactical skill but notorious for his radical belief that a compromise is not possible and a complete return to the old nobility is Adhomai's only option for peace, Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan is one of the oldest fighting nobles left on Adhomai.

===Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas===

Hailing from a royal cadet line and born in 2402, Dynhaas followed his father and brothers to join the Das’nrra Empire’s navy at a young age. When the First Revolution came, naval losses coupled with the rebel conquest of Das’nnra resulted in Dynhaas, the last man left of his line, surrendering and being imprisoned. With the war’s end in 2432, Dynhaas was offered a pardon by the Party in exchange for developing the Republican Navy. He would come to accept this over the alternative of death.

Accepting his defeat and believing that the age of nobility came to an end, Dynhaas came to view the Republican Navy as his new purpose in life. He worked to advance it alongside other pardoned nobles and founded the Oceanmasters Lounge, a private club within the naval officer corps. This path in life would change with the announcement of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Believing that a way to restore the old glory days of kingdoms laid with the NKA, Dynhaas began to plan a revolt. Partnering with other sympathetic admirals, he had the Republican Navy’s Grand Admiral and several other loyalists killed on a fateful night at the Shastar Naval Base before fleeing eastwards in 2450. In the same year that the New Kingdom was declared, Dynhaas delivered them the strongest naval force Adhomai had ever seen. King Azunja had declared him the Kingdom’s Grand Admiral shortly after meeting with Dynhaas in Miran’mir.

With the Republican Navy's command almost crippled and the ALA unable to compete with their dominance of the sea, Dynhaas used his fleets during the war to support and supply the Royal Army while helping smash the enemies of the New Kingdom. The artillery barrages of his ships were important in coastal battles during the NKA's offensives while their supremacy saved the Royal Marines from certain destruction following the failed Ras'nrr expedition. The prestige of his position made Dynhaas an instant celebrity in the NKA as well. Many propaganda reels and photos showed him as a majestic lord of the sea, something he capitalized on heavily to present himself as the very pinnacle of noble glory. Always well-groomed, well-dressed, and impeccable at talking despite whatever circumstances he was in, Dynhaas never passed the opportunity to host an interview. Most notable was Dynhaas' interview on his opinions of xenos of the S'rand’marr coalition, conducted on his capital vessel while it sieged Nal'tor in the final stages of the war. His statements on Unathi and Skrell were less than positive. After the expulsion of the People's Republic from Harr'masir in 2461, Admiral Mahtra infamously ordered the Royal Navy to engage in an unrestricted bombardment campaign of the eastern Hadiist coast. Cities and villages were targets of frequent naval artillery strikes; the battleships shelled military and civilian targets indiscriminately. The Navy infamously used incendiary shells during these attacks, causing entire neighborhoods to be engulfed in firestorms.

Post-war, Dynhaas went on several speaking tours in the first year of the armistice. Traveling from city to city, his public events were used to promote his upcoming biography and drew crowds in the tens of thousands. Politically, he maintains that the future of the NKA always lies within the navy, and that the industry of the New Kingdom must always retain a heavy focus on their shipyards. Dynhaas has also been vocal in his beliefs of a stronger monarch, often using the emergency powers King Azunja had as an example of the strong benefits that could come with such. He is yet to comment at all on his supposed rival, Mira'zkui, at all.

===Grand Duke Akym Yudenikh===

Born in the Das'nrra Empire to a noble family in 2412, Akym Yudenikh survived the First Revolution by escaping to Northern Harr'masir and hiding his identity. After the Hadiist occupation of the Kingdom of Kaltir, Yudenikh joined the People's Republic bureaucracy; he became responsible for the administration of the local rail system. Akym was infamous for his corruption; he frequently sold permits, disregarded contraband reports, and accepted bribes.

Because of his background, Akym was contacted by the underground royalist movement. He quickly became one of the main supporters of the group; he used his position within the Hadiist government to secure supplies and funding for the incoming uprising. Weapons, machinery, and ammunition were diverted to the Royalist cells. Akym was awarded the title of baron, a seat in the parliament, and some land confiscated from the People's Republic when Vahzirthaamro returned. However, his ambitions did not stop there. Using the money made from his time as a Republican bureaucracy, alongside whatever profit he could extract from his new holdings, Yudenikh continued to acquire more estate. Newly liberated farms were sold to him at a meager price thanks to his connections within the government. In a question of years, he became a Grand Duke and one of the major landowners of the New Kingdom. Akym controversially used prisoners of war as workers in his plantations during the Second Revolution as part of deals with the military.

Following the Armistice, Akym Yudenikh now leads the Royalist Party; his main mission is to maintain the status quo. The continuation of the constitutional monarchy and the privileges of the nobility align perfectly with his interests. He is one of the major supporters of further deals with megacorporations. Grand Duke Akym is not afraid to use his position to protect his interest in the parliament. Under his vision, prosperity for the New Kingdom means more power and wealth to its elite.

===Prince Serhiy Oliinyk===

Born as the third son to a family of Njarir'Akhran in 2434, Serhiy Oliinyk's life was profoundly affected by events over which he had no control. Raised in a household of avid royalists supporters, Serhiy was exposed to his parents' ideology since his youth. However, the boy had his reservations in regards to the possible return of the monarchy; he doubted that they could truly avoid the mistakes of the past. For his support during the uprising in Northern Harr'masir, the patriarchy of the Oliinyk family was given a seat in the parliament, a title of nobility, and a modest tract of land. Serhiy mistakenly believed that he could escape his bloodline's obligation thanks to his status as the third child. He already had a passion in his life: playing the P'rrama.

The war was cruel to the Oliinyk. Serhiy's brothers were killed while serving the army. This put him in an uneasy position as the heir of a parliamentary seat. The growing debt forced his father to sell whatever land they had left; the Oliinyk had officially joined the ranks of landless nobility. The final blow came in 2459 with the bombing of the Parliament; Serhiy inherited his progenitor's seat after his demise in the attack. The young musician was thrown into the midst of the New Kingdom's politics. Influenced by his social status and beliefs, he aligned himself to the Commoners Party.

If he is truly unable to escape his fate, Prince Serhiy decided to make the best out of it. Because of his age and a family full of martyrs, Serhiy became the Commoners Party's main spokesperson. Convincing the Queen to support the Populists will not be easy; the Conservatives and Absolutists are far more powerful and influential. A powerful strategy is necessary to guarantee the Commoners Party triumph in the parliament. Serhiy plans to retire from politics after the hereditary parliamentary positions are abolished and the Kingdom is fairer to its population. He hopes to return to his greatest passion: music.

===Count Tscherim Sanguszkho===

Hailing from a cadet house of the Rrhakaslov dynasty, Tscherim Sanguszkho was born in 2433 shortly after his family escaped to Kaltir to avoid the First Revolution's massacres. He was raised on a small farm frequented by disposed nobles and royalist sympathizers. Sheltered from the rest of Adhomai, he grew only knowing the world only through the nostalgic tales of pre-contact Njarir'Akhran, The Sanguszkho family was quick to offer their support to King Azunja when he returned; the Tscherim's father was given a seat in the parliament. Tscherim became a low-ranking officer in the army.

Tscherim Sanguszkho's military career came to an end in 2460 when he was gravely wounded in combat. Taking advantage of his pension and family's position, Tscherim spent the next years in gentlemen's clubs. In these places, he entered into contact with radical Absolute Royalists and became deeply interested in [[Tajaran Minor Religions#Ancient Tajara Theory|esoteric beliefs]]. Tscherim founded his organization in 2462: the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity. Drawing inspiration from the stories of an idealized pre-First Contact society, the ideology known as Revival Royalism was born from the Fraternity's meetings. Posing as a regular club, Tscherim was able to introduce other nobles to his ideals. Knowing that the task of enforcing the old order was not an easy one, Sanguszkho chose a common enemy to unite the kingdom against: the Tajara of mixed heritage.

Tscherim's plan came to fruition when his father died in a car accident in 2463; he inherited a landed title, a state, and a seat in the Parliament. Shortly after, the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity opened its membership to the public and made its intentions clear. Thanks to a deal with the Officers and Royal parties, the Fraternity became the fourth faction in the Parliament. Despite being the leader of the smallest Party, Count Tscherim has already begun to plot to slowly introduce his ideology into the New Kingdom.

===Ser Mrakhanjurl Ii'rka===

Mrakhanjurl was born in 2422 in a Zhan-Khazan family in a small village outside Olska. He received little education nor traveled far outside his village. As soon as he came of age at 16 he joined the rest of the village mining bauxite ore to be shipped to Olska to make aluminum. He eventually lost both parents to lung cancer from the mine's poor ventilation before he was 23. In 2452, when he was 29, he traveled with a dozen other Zhan-Khazan miners several miles to Olska to join a protest against the new legislation of President Hadii that was meant to crack down 'subversive elements' that many felt were unfair to Zhan-Khazan. The army was called in and brutally repressed the demonstration, which saw Mrakhanjurl narrowly escape with his life. He returned to his village to find that it had been torched by the republican army for housing subversive agitators.

Mrakhanjurl mourned the loss of his village and was picked up by rebel militia, who revealed that they had managed to provide early warning to the village and evacuate over a dozen people, but the army had managed to find and kill all but a handful of survivors. In gratitude for the rebels dying for his village, and to avenge the deaths, Mrakhanjurl joined the armed resistance that eventually joined itself under the New Kingdom of Adhomai. In a very short few years became a remarkable marksman, gaining the most recorded kills of any Tajara sniper. Current New Kingdom estimates put Mrakhanjurl's kill count at 285, 32 of those enemy PRA snipers.

Mrakhanjurl also managed to evacuate countless civilians from Republic territory to northern New Kingdom holdings. During the famous ''Rout of the 2nd Battalion'', in which New Kingdom defenders unsuccessfully attempted to prevent Republican forces from capturing Baltor, Mrakhanjurl assumed command of the 4th Company after both its leading officers had been killed by sniper fire. Despite a serious gunshot wound to the leg Mrakhanjurl began shouting orders and rallied the shattered defenders, who were the last line of defense between the advancing Republic forces and thousands of refugees attempting to flee the city. The ''Rally of the 4th Company'' on 2456 successfully managed to delay advancing Republic troops long enough for thousands of more refugees to escape into New Kingdom territory who would otherwise face atrocity.

For his bravery and growing fame (which was now considered too important to risk in the war effort), Mrakhanjurl was given the Order of the Victorious Sun, the highest honor in the New Kingdom, as well as being the first Zhan-Khazan in history to be given the noble rank of Ser. He remains a hero to the Zhan-Khazan and the New Kingdom.

===King of the Mountains Rustam Harmaliik===
[[File:harmaliik portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the king in his riding regalia, done in 2454.]]
Rustam Harmaliik was born in 2427 as the son of a deposed Njarir'Akhran noble family. He spent most of his youth in the rural region of Harr'masir, where he had contact with some groups of Rhazar'Hrujmagh that inhabited the region. As an adult, he found employment in law enforcement and was sent by the People’s Republic to support the efforts to settle the rock nomads of the Harr’masir region in 2448 as a Republican official.

While working alongside the authorities to make sure that the nomadic Zhan would accept and adopt a sedentary lifestyle, Rustam grew more interested in their culture and became skeptical of the Hadii’s regime and how they were treating the Rock Nomads. Unrest among the Rhazar'Hrujmagh soon followed, and Rustam would try to offer his support in any way possible, such as sabotaging equipment shipment or relaying misleading intelligence. The government soon realized his treason, forcing Rustam to abandon his post and escape into the wilderness.

Rustam found shelter among a caravan of the Rhazar'Hrujmagh, and soon adopted their way of life. Unrest and resistance continued among the rock nomads, and Harmaliik joined their struggle against the People’s Republic. With the New Kingdom’s rebellion, the control of the region waned and the Republican efforts shifted to other problems, which allowed the nomad resistance to blossom into guerrilla warfare. Rustam climbed the ranks of his caravan’s forces, winning prestige and favor by leading them against the Republican forces.

The second revolution happened, and the Rhazar'Hrujmagh resistance continued. Rustam assumed the leadership of his adopted caravan and aimed to acquire more support among the other Rock Nomads. Through the years of the conflict, he gathered more men and wagons under his command, through diplomacy or conquest, but limiting himself to defensive tactics, ambushes, and raids. The political stance of Harmaliik has always been one of neutrality in the conflict, never compromising fully with the Adhomai Liberation army, due to his Njarir’Akhran origins and monarchist sentiments, and never declaring any support to the New Kingdom, in fear of losing the trust of his fellow nomads,

Due to a republican offensive against the nomadic guerrillas in 2461, Rustam decided to declare himself the Almalik’Rhazar, a word roughly translated as "leader of the mountains", following an ancient nomadic tradition that allows the largely independent Rock Nomad caravans to elect a ruler among themselves. This decision alienated him from his ALA allies and the other nomads, forcing him to side with the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Harmaliik and his caravans have joined the kingdom war effort. He and his people were later granted the southeast territories of the New Kingdom for their support during the conflict.

===Brother Mikhail Ordau===
Little is known about Mikhail Oradu’s parentage. He was given to the Parivara at a very young age, left on the doorstep of Miran'mir's abbey. Thus the Family took him in as they do many small children, teaching him and educating him about S’rendarr and Messa. Mikhail was an accomplished writer for his age, but a speech impediment left him at a disadvantage when it came to oral presentations. The boy was known to be bookish, and spent much of his free time in the abbey’s library as well as its restricted section, thanks to his close friendship with the abbot.

He had an unusual interest in the sciences for a clergyman. As the Second Revolution loomed ahead, and whispers of splitting from the Republic crept into the local city, he busied himself with reading and tending to the monastery’s garden. Eventually, Miran’mir and all of northern Harr’masir split from the Republic to form the New Kingdom. With the war came plenty of hardship, and the Priests of S’rendarr did their best to help alleviate the tragedy amongst the peasants.

With little farmable land and a severe manpower disadvantage, the New Kingdom struggled to provide for its people. Starvation was a very real threat, and the abbey’s garden was not sufficient. A conflicted Mikhail turned once again to the abbey’s library and science for an answer; and, as though a miracle from the Suns themselves, one came. He discovered an ancient text detailing breeding methods for slaves, from long before the First Revolution. Suggestions on how to pass on desirable traits and mannerisms; to breed subservience. Controversial, but an unknowing descriptor of genetics and hereditary traits.

It was armed with this knowledge that Mikhail set about breeding new plants. Earthen roots, dirt berries, and more were cultivated for generations by Mikhail, aiming to pass on traits like hardiness and vitality. The plants became much more accustomed to growing in harsh conditions thanks to his work, and as the New Kingdom pushed back the Republicans and gained more territory, these hardier plants were easier to grow in the shell-shocked muddy battlefields. The threat of starvation became less and less pressing as more and more farms could deal with the way the war affected the terrain. For his efforts, Brother Mikhail was afforded a personal audience with the King.

===Oleg Al'Mor===
Born Oleg Murkov Al-Al’Mori in 2400, Oleg was a teenager when humanity stumbled upon the Tajara. His simple life of working and indentured servitude was suddenly upended with the influx of new ideals; he and his family, along with a contingent of other refugees of war avoided the conflicts erupting across the planet by staying in the mountains of Northern Harr’masir. To pass the time and keep themselves entertained, the telling of fireside epics became common. Oleg was noted to be imaginative with his tales even then, regaling other Tajara with stories of war and love.

Eventually, however, the nomadic hunter-gatherer life in the mountains could no longer support their numbers, and Oleg’s group descended from their hiding place. By this point, rebel armies had mostly taken hold of Kal’tir and the surrounding areas, giving Oleg relative freedom. When the war finally came to an end in 2432, Oleg was well known as a traveling bard and performer who earned his living using his creative skills entertaining war-weary soldiers and newly freed slaves. The stability that came with the formation of the People’s Republic afforded Oleg the opportunity to settle down in Kal’tir once again, where he took an interest in the local theater scene.

His first play, The Jester’s End, pioneered the form of black comedy and was a throwback to the days of servitude. Over the course of his career in Kal’tir, Oleg penned many more plays under his pseudonym Oleg Al’Mor, out of fear of inviting reprisals from the People’s Republic. Oleg’s plays were often scandalous or controversial for challenging the traditional morality held by Tajara. However, as time went on, his works became formulaic and much less shocking, and thus by extension more palatable to the average Tajara. Black comedy found a good home amongst the countless war veterans of the First Revolution.

Oleg considered himself an intellectual, and when the New Kingdom of Adhomai split from the People’s Republic he was an outspoken supporter. He and his family had experienced the benefits of the old ways, and with his considerable wealth from play royalties, he financed the New Kingdom with donations. Sadly, Oleg Al’Mor passed away in December of 2460 after completing his final work. The play, titled A Maiden’s Voyage, was particularly well-received, with even the King himself getting a private showing. Many of his works are still performed in theaters all over the New Kingdom’s territory.

==Others==

===Father Valyan K'rrirran===

''"From the stars, he saw Adhomai's cities and mountains become nothing more than specks. When he beheld the planet from far away, he realized that it was a small dot within this vast new galaxy. It was then he saw how truly special our homeland and our people are."''

''-Father Valyan K'rrirran, written as the ending to the prologue in his novel "An Introduction to The Twin Suns", 2430.''

Born in 2406 to a family of merchants in Dras’nrra, Valyan chose to join the faith at a young age, and became a fully-fledged Priest of S'rendarr in the midst of the First Revolution. It was during this time that Valyan had also become one of the first few Tajara to leave Adhomai. Settling on Xanu Prime in 2426 and remaining there until the war’s end in 2431, Valyan provided much of the first glimpses into the theology of the Tajara during this time. He, later on, returned home after publishing his novel written in Tau Ceti Basic on the history of the S’rendarr and Messa. Following the Second Revolution, he had replaced Walid Al’qat as The Father of the Parivara after Al’qat died of heart failure. Since gaining his position in 2462 the new Father has already demonstrated to Adhomai that he is able to rise to the task of leading the Parivara. Alongside his archivers, he had revealed misinterpretations in the vows of the Suns Sisters and amended the Vow of Silence to the original Vow of Whispers.

The Father has kept this momentum of progress going forward. In the same year, he began to assist with several archeological digs across Adhomai to gather more information on not just the history of the Suns faith, but also of the Tajara people. Much of this collection is digitalized and shared through a newly developed site (Simply dubbed “Parivara and Tajara History.pra”.) made by an influx of well-educated acolytes. Now, any curious Tajara or alien can find a trove of information on the Parivara and new details on the species’ history. This mix of preserving old traditions alongside progressing aspects of the church has made Valyan popular among the younger generations of Tajara, kindling their interest in the faith.

However, Valyan is not free of controversy. Some conspiracy theorists believe that he could have had a hand in the death of the previous Father, citing the lack of provided medical care and the quick selection of Valyan as the new Father. Others point to his connection to the revitalized Kin of S’rendarr and believe him to be funding the Kin, supplying them with off-world equipment and arms to continue their war against whoever is deemed the faith’s enemy. Nonetheless, these are regarded as little more than baseless rumors by much of the population.

===Rikdar Al'Manq===

Rikdar was born on '''2429''' the noble Njarir’Akhran Bayan line in Nal'Tor, with Bayan being his birth name. However, his parents were disappeared by Republic secret police in one of the frequent purges of Njarir’Akhran and he was put into state-run foster care. He has raised in the ''House Of Young Patriots'' orphanage until he was adopted at 14 to Hharar parents and took their last name of Al'Manq. As he was going to school his parents and teachers immediately took notice of his artistic abilities and interest in painting, which the orphanage had initially tried to discourage. In 2446, when he was 18, Rikdar won an art contest where he submitted a portrait of his Environmental Geology teacher and gained a prestigious scholarship in the Nal'Tor University of The Arts, a state-funded institution.

Rikdar attended the university for several years, though his studies were sometimes interrupted or delayed by the periodic waves of anti-Njarir’Akhran demonstrations and violence that gripped the campus. However, he quickly became a prodigy amongst his peers. Al'Manq's style of oil painting and doing portraits became a sensation in the capital, with the mayor and several city officials requesting their portraits done. Rikdar graduated from university at 20 years old in '''2450''' with a Bachelor of Arts. Having already received several high-profile commissions, including the then-President Al'Mari Hadii, whose portrait was done a week before his death. Al'Manq managed to survive the resulting chaos across Adhomai following the assassination of Al'Mari Hadii by the nature of his celebrity status, but his popularity remains confined within the major cities.

At only 29 years old in '''2458''' the ''Al'Manq Style'' has already become a famous style of painting across Adhomai. The Al'Manq Style is noted for its use of rich oil-based paint that focuses on portraits and profiles. The colors are often bold or show rich texture and color. The hands of Tajara are painted without being anatomically correct. Critics blast Al'Manq's apparent inability to draw hands correctly but Rikdar has stated that it's his personal style. This has influenced other artists, and many attempting to pay homage to Al'Manq draw hands as stubby. Rikdar remains extremely popular on Adhomai. The People's Republic remains a quiet supporter of his work, and state officials pay him handsome commissions for their portraits to be done, though they frown on him taking commissions from New Kingdom officials as well. The Adhomai Liberation Army has painted Rikdar as just another nobleman and several members of the Liberation Army have given open contempt for his work.

===Bloodstorm===

Bloodstorm is a famous and infamous DPRA Heavy Metal Band that has surged in popularity with the younger “denier” generation. Those in this generation are categorized not only by refusing the current status quo, but also have a general disdain towards a complete return to Tajara roots or liberalization through corporations. Fans of this band are usually punks, anarchists,s and jaywalkers. While the band mostly operated inside the DPRA, during one of their galactic tours their citizenships were revoked, making it impossible for them to return to Adhomai. They currently preside in Mendell City.

====Vargir Stenovich “Godslayer”====

The lead guitarist of the group, Vargir Stenovich is known as the spokesperson of the band and the most controversial figures. Admitting to being a Raskara cultist in public and calling out the Parivara on their “bedding with the government”. Vargir has been involved in numerous scandals including protesting military parades, playing one of his songs next to a work camp without permission, and lastly ingesting drugs on live television and proceeding to slander the ALA for bombing the NKA parliament.
[[File:Al-Atil.png|200px|thumb|right|Photo of Al-Atil at the Mztel'Mir concert, "War Is Fuck, Let's Do It", circa 2459.]]

====Janos Al-Lung “Drowner”====

Janos is the bassist of Bloodstorm and the only band member without a criminal record. He has frequently butted heads with Stenovich over the political extremities the band goes through to discredit not only PRA and NKA but also DPRA. Janos Al-Lung is currently the only member of Bloodstorm that is trying to re-apply for a DPRA citizenship.

====Al-Atil Csihar “Nightmaster”====

The vocalist, Al-Atil, is known for his “mrowl”, a high, long, yelp that is recorded as the loudest sound produced by a Tajara. He loves to interact with the public and often stays behind on the podium to sign autographs and fans using black or red spray paint.

====Cecil Kernov “Bloodletter”====

Cecil is the Drummer and has actually served time, unlike the other band members. Kernov has his nickname for a reason as he’s been charged with armed assault during his youth, which is how he met with Vargir. Later in life, he was arrested again, after he had brutally assaulted a fan who had climbed on stage with a drum, getting it stuck on said Tajara’s head and pushing him off the stage with a dropkick. This led to multiple fractures and long-term disabilities for the fan.

====The Mist “Mih”====

A yet unknown band member by the public, “Mih” remains anonymous always wearing a mask in public and never speaking. He plays the P'rrama, an old Tajara string instrument, with 8 strings mirrored in a long horn-like pipe that extends to the ground which emits a loud, brass twanging noise described as an over-amped guitar. "Mih" has been under investigation multiple times, however, the enigmatic member always manages to avoid the authorities.

'''Most Notable Albums Include:'''

''The Freezing Blizzard'' - An early, traditional album, mediocre without the employment of the P'rrama.

''War Is Fuck, Let's Do It'' - The core most popular album drawing similarities between war and love.

''If Messa Was Here She'd Be a Whore'' - First anti-Parivara album created, criticizing their ignorance towards women and discrimination of female priests.

''We Live in a Society'' - WLiaS describes pure hatred of every single faction present not even sparing Sol or Tau Ceti.

''Shell In, Spine Out'' - Another anti-war album, describing the life of a dying soldier.

''S'rrendar Loves You Except He Doesn't'' - Repeated hatred of Parivara, slander, and is famous for having a recording of Cecil attacking a fan with the drum.

''If You're Old You Should Die'' - Scolding critique of the old leading system and a call for the younger generation to disregard the politicians and tear it all down.

[[Tajara|Tajaran]] history and society has a long list of notable individuals and heroes that are known across [[Adhomai]].

==People's Republic==

''"Comrades, in this struggle we fight to protect the progress we have fought so hard to make in the preceding decades. Our march forever onwards for a Hadiist society must not be stopped by the usurpers who would see us become a brutish military dictatorship, nor those fetid imperialists who would restore the atrocities of the old ways."''

''- President Njadrasanukii Hadii, in a televised address to the people in 2452.''
===President Njadrasanukii Hadii===

[[File:Hadii portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the president, done in 2460.]]
Njadrasanukii Hadii, also known as Malik Hadii, was born in '''2402''' to the noble Njarir'Akhran Hadii line. His mother was Rajjurl Hadii, and his father Tajrhalrr Hadii. He got involved with the military at an early age, becoming a cadet for the Royal Navy at 16 and achieving a commission as a Lieutenant-Commander at 22, and leading his own destroyer as a Captain at 29. During the revolution, he briefly fought for the loyalists but was recalled to the Hadii Citadel to help defend his family's ancestral home. Following the revolution and the Hadii's rise in the new Federal Republic, Njadrasanukii was given the office of Vice-President under his brother Al'Mari Hadii.

Malik assumed the presidency in '''2451''' after the assassination of Al'mari. He continued his brother's early agenda of collaborating with NanoTrasen and other galactic powers. Njadrasanukii purged any suspicious elements from his administration after the Nated's coup, consolidating his power through the imprisonment and execution of anyone that threatened his regime. Further authoritarian measures were established by him; the expansion of the secret police, the rapid industrialization of the PRA, and further persecution against those who did not conform to his policies. Under Malik Hadii's control, the current form of Hadiism took shape; an ideology focused on the creation of a monolithic Tajaran culture under the unquestionable guidance of the Hadii political line. The office of the president had its powers largely expanded under his rule, allowing Njadrasanukii to control all aspects of the People's Republic government. Total loyalty to Njadrasanukii is expected from all Party members.

A state-endorsed cult of personality has been established around President Hadii. Through a robust propaganda system, republican citizens are informed daily about Malik's achievements and how only through his guidance the Republican can prosper. Portraits of President Hadii can be found in most Hadiist homes and government buildings. Njadrasanukii is known for his speeches praising his own administration and the bravery of his people; his voice can be heard frequently on the radio. While many admire him as a strong leader, others fear his ruthless ways of dealing with the opposition.

President Hadii is famous for his extreme paranoia. Very few high-ranking members of the Party have direct access to him and little is known about his private life. He is constantly surrounded by hand-picked members of the secret service; those bodyguards are always under the risk of being purged for any reason. It is rumored that he has survived more than three hundred assassination attempts.

Despite the outcome of the Second revolution, Njadrasanukii continues to rule the People's Republic with an iron grip. He did not give up his plans of reestablishing Hadiist hegemony over Adhomai.
[[File:headmaster portrait.png|200px|thumb|left|A rare picture of the camera shy Tyr'adrr, taken during the closure of an illegal protest, dated to 2459.]]
===Headmaster Harrrdanim Tyr'adrr===

Harrrdanim was born in '''2425''' to a M'sai family serving the Hadii during the First Revolution. Wishing to follow in the footsteps of his parents, he joined the Hadiist Party at a young age. He soon caught the attention of the People's Strategic Intelligence Service due to his craftiness and was given a position in the agency. Despite enjoying moderate success during the late years of Al’mari’s rule, Tyr'adrr rose to prominence after the President’s assassination. Leading several purges within the secret service, he was able to secure a promotion as the Headmaster after the previous head was arrested for suspicious behavior. Under Tyr’addr’s control, the PSIS became the feared terror machine it is today. Heavy investments in surveillance technology, the establishment of a robust web of informants, and the large-scale repression of political opponents greatly weakened the opposition in the People’s Republic. His supposed adventures during this period have spawned an entire "spy thriller" genre in the Republic.

After helping secure President Hadii's rule, Headmaster Harrdanim focused his efforts on fighting the Liberation Army and the New Kingdom. Ruthless anti-partisan campaigns were carried out under his supervision. The displacement of Chaniska’s native population, scorched-earth tactics in Northern Ras'nrr, and the creation of Try'urma Penitentiary were among some of his orders during the conflict. His actions during the Second Revolution earned him the reputation of being merciless and bloodthirsty. In spite of several assassination attempts, ALA agents failed to murder him and he continued his reign of terror unimposed.

Even after the Armistice, Headmaster Harrdanim continues to work tirelessly to undermine the enemies of the Republic. He has a large interest in securing the Tajara population living outside of Adhomai and is responsible for the PSIS presence in District Six. He is eager to suggest more authoritarian solutions and believes in increasing, even more, the state’s control over the population. Because of the role of the Strategic Service in the government, Tyr'adrr is one of the most powerful and hated Tajara in the People's Republic. While seemingly loyal to President Hadii, many in the Party fear where Tyr'adrr's ambition might lead him.

===Party Secretary Yakiv Hadii===

Yakiv Hadii was born in '''2412''' as the second cousin to President Hadii. While too young to take part in the First Revolution, Yakiv joined the Hadiist Party as soon as he could. During Njadrasanukii’s rule, he excelled as a bureaucrat due to his organizational skills. He managed the distribution of land and the establishment of communal farms during the Republican Agrarian reforms. Through a combination of political maneuvers and nepotism, he quickly climbed the Party's ranks. Yakiv sought to further the Republican relationship with NanoTrasen, seeking their support for the development of Adhomai. This stance caused him to lose Al’mari’s favor during the years leading to the Second Revolution. He was then demoted to an unimportant position in the Ministry of Agriculture.

Yakiv returned to prominence after Rhagrrhuzau’s assassination; he was seen as a way to link Malik’s rule to his now-deceased brother. Following the abolishment of the office of vice-president, Yakiv was promoted as the Party Secretary by Njadrasanukii. He became responsible for the internal organization and reviewing applications to the Party; he was quick to remove many of his political opponents from power using his new powers. Known as unquestionably loyal to President Hadii, he became infamous for being nothing but a yes man. He continued his policy of maintaining good relations with megacorporations, lobbying for more deals with NanoTrasen. Countless Tajara were given the opportunity to leave Adhomai due to his efforts, most sold as cheap labor while some others were able to acquire higher education. During the final stages of the war, he was one of the main proponents of the need for foreign intervention to save the People's Republic.

After the Armistice, Yakiv remained as Party Secretary. He is one of the closest advisors to President Hadii, helping Malik in matters related to internal and external affairs. Despite being an orthodox Hadiist, he is eager to push for changes to appease NanoTrasen and other foreign powers in an attempt to gain their support. Many within the Party see Yakiv as a power-hungry and untrustworthy politician, eager to abuse his power to reach what he wants. Others recognize him as a cunning politician with a rather dangerous influence over President Hadii.

===Minister of Defense Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar===

Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar was born into a Hharar peasant family in '''2428'''. He was raised around veterans of the first revolution and was always interested in their stories. Owing to the new opportunities brought by the People’s Republic, Irbaykhan enrolled in a military academy and joined the Grand People's Army as an officer. He survived the purges of the early Hadiist government because of his political reliability; as he was one of the first army leaders to support President Hadii during his ascension. This left him in the privileged situation of being one of the few properly trained officers at the dawn of the Nated’s coup.

Irbaykhan quickly climbed the ranks of the Republican Army during the Second Revolution. Making extensive use of artillery and motorized troops, he secured early victories that gave much-needed breathing room to the fragile Republic. While in command of the Dymtris Front in '''2456''', he pushed the New Kingdom into the defensive position that they would remain in until the very end of the war. Mirarkiizar’s final promotion during the conflict was to the theater commander of the Rass’nrr Military District. With the help of the alien allies of the Republic, he managed to recapture the main region of the continent. He was given a seat in the Ministry of Defense after the Armistice, working alongside the upper echelons of the Party to refine the Republic’s strategy.

Unlike most members of the Ministry of Defense, Irbaykhan has both political connections and practical experience in the field. This combination has made him one of President Hadii’s closest advisors in regard to military matters. Currently, he is responsible for the Hro'zamal campaign. Mirarkiizar sees the Grand People's Army as an essential component of the Hadiist state; the ever-vigilant guardian of the Republic against its enemies. The Minister believes that strict discipline and union towards a common goal is the best way to safeguard the future of the People’s Republic.

===Minister of Technology Zhuldyz Hadii===

Born in '''2420''' to the Hadii dynasty, Zhuldyz enjoyed the many privileges granted to her family. She grew up fascinated by the new technologies brought by human contact; she would spend hours tinkering and dismantling electronics during her childhood. Later she was sent to study in prestigious Solarian universities, where she ventured into the field of robotics. Zhuldyz returned to Adhomai in 2449 and was granted a post in the Ministry of Technology.

Using the knowledge acquired off-world, Zhuldyz drew plans with the objective of modernizing the Republic through a technological revolution. The rapid industrialization aided by mechatronics would bring prosperity to the Tajara. While many of her initial projects were abruptly interrupted by Rhagrrhuzau's assassination, she remained in her position due to being a member of the Hadii dynasty. The unstable early years of Njadrasanukii’s presidency were unfavorable towards her dreams; stopping Nated’s coup and the Royalist uprising were top priorities at the time. However, as the frontlines stagnated and a semblance of normalcy returned to the People’s Republic, Zhuldyz had the chance to convince President Hadii of her plans. Knowing that losing the war would put an end to her pursuits, she turned her genius to the military field. Victory could be achieved through technological superiority. She was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Hadii Institute of Orbital Research|Hadii Institute of Orbital Research]], the expansion of the [[Tajara_Space_Capability#PRA_Army_Wing|Orbital Fleet]], and the creation of the Tesla Brigade. Zhuldyz was promoted to the office of the Minister of Technology shortly before the Armistice.

The Adhomian Cold War became the perfect testing ground for Zhuldyz's projects. She sees the period of peace as an opportunity to turn the People's Republic into a technological powerhouse. Zhuldyz believes that the future of Hadiism lies in science and that the Republic must become advanced enough to subjugate its enemies. Minister Hadii is not interested in ethical or safe research; she is eager to pursue dangerous and questionable experiments. No price is too small to pay during the march of progress. President Hadii gave Zhuldyz near uncontested authority to lead the Ministry of Technology. She was the mind behind the creation of the first independent robotic factory on Adhomai.

===Secretary of the Navy Hura'zhi Mira'zkui===

Born in '''2422''' to an exiled line of minor nobility from the Zatushka Kingdom, Mira’zkui grew up in the chaos of the First Revolution as the armies of the Hadiist rebels marched across Adhomai. When the dust had settled, despite his personal wishes to enter the party itself, his family would convince him to uphold their old traditions and join the forming Republican Navy in '''2447'''. It was then that Mira’zkui met Dynhaas and joined the Oceanmasters Lounge.

During the chaos of Dynhaas’ defection in '''2450''', Mira’zkui narrowly avoided his own death. Informed early by a loyal lieutenant that his own crew was plotting to kill him, Mira’zkui fled in a lifeboat and watched as his fellow officers were thrown screaming from the decks of their own ships. A few days later, he was found on the shores of Ras’nrr. As the Republic fell into chaos, Mira’zkui returned to the Republican Navy as Secretary, entrusted by Malik Hadii to fight against the pirate flotillas of the ALA and the Royal Navy. However, Mira’zkui’s loyalty was not able to make up for his inexperience. While the last of the Liberation Army’s pirate vessels were sunk, he was unable to contend with the strength of the Royal Navy and unable to achieve his personal desire: Capturing or killing Dynhaas.

Post-War, Mira’zkui has largely become reclusive and withdrawn from the public eye. While he continues to try and develop the Republican navy, Mira’zkui is forced to contend with funding going towards the projects of the Orbital Navy and Grand People’s Army. With a relationship of mutual dislike between himself and Zhuldyz Hadii, many within the party believe that Mira’zkui will likely be replaced eventually. How he would react to being denied any chance for revenge against Dynhaas is something no one knows.

===Chief Naval Commander Samirro Qarrarhaz===

Born in Northern Ras’nrr in '''2407''', Samirro was the son of a loyal M'sai general in the Hadii Hegemony. Qarrarhaz's family raised and taught him to follow in his father’s footsteps. He would become an artillery officer in '''2428''', finding great success during combat against monarchist groups through using extensive shelling to force and flush out the enemy. By '''2431''' Qarrarhaz was moved into Southern Harr’masir to prepare for an invasion of the Kingdom of Kaltir. His artillery crews were among those who scoured the Kingdom following its surrender, shelling whatever villas, castles, and manors they had found. A staunch ally of Al’mari Hadii and his family, Qarrarhaz has always stood by the Hadii family and the republic they had later built.

While also providing training for future artillery commanders in the interwar period, Qarrarhaz became part of a committee formed by President Al’mari Hadii to plan and prepare a space fleet for the PRA. He, along with other committee members, traveled to the Coalition of Colonies' planets of Xanu Prime and Himeo to observe anti-piracy operations in order to better develop the PRA’s own future space warfare doctrine in '''2452'''. When the Orbital Fleet was completed by '''2457''', Qarrarhaz was appointed Chief Naval Commander by President Malik Hadii. Since then, he has won numerous victories against piracy, smugglers, and even bested a [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/?do=findComment&comment=114422 Sol cruiser].

Post-war, Qarrarhaz continues to lead his spaceships and Kosmostrelki in the defense of the PRA’s claimed space. Comfortable and experienced in his position, Qarrarhaz has begun to speak more on the future of the PRA’s ventures into space. Controversially, the Commander has stated that the PRA must eventually extend its hand to the numerous small colonies and off-worlder communities dotting the frontier around them. Arguing that Hadiism’s light must be spread beyond Tajara, it is his belief that the PRA must one day uplift these groups from their poverty and absorb them into the state.

===Minister of Education Kalim Khazdar===

Kalim Khazdar was born in '''2430''' to a family of Hharar foremen in the city of Tampiska. Deemed a bright child by his teachers, he was sent to study in Al'marii. Captivated by the tales of progress and prosperity brought by the interwar period, Kalim enrolled at the Al'marii College of Hadiist Sciences. He continued his studies intending to become a college teacher. During his time as a student, he became a good friend and protégé of the rector of the university, Mahir Hadii. His friendship with a member of the political dynasty opened many doors for him.

Kalim joined the Hadiist party during the Second Revolution. He later visited Tau Ceti to study the Adhomian community there; his experiences in District Six deeply affected his ideas. He saw all the social problems that those who lived under the megacorporation rule were subject to. Instead of losing faith in Hadiism, he started to believe that reforms were necessary to save the People's Republic; NanoTrasen should be a means to an end, not the end itself. Kalim returned to Adhomai in 2459 and became a college professor. Thanks to his connections, he soon got involved with the administration and politics of the university. His papers on the subject of Hadiist education were generally well-received by the academia.

With the Armistice of Shastar, Kalim Khazdar aligned himself to the Young Hadiist faction; his sympathy towards the movement was largely unknown to the Party. His ascension to the position of Minister of Education in 2463 was the result of a confidential deal between his mentor and President Hadii. Despite being considered a powerless and inexperienced politician by the other members of the Hadiist cabinet, Kalim is not to be underestimated. Cunning will be necessary to avoid the wrath of President Hadii and his lackeys. The path to a truly free People's Republic will be a long and difficult one.

===Yasmin Piaf===

[[File:Yasmin portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A piece of a poster, promoting Yasmin Piaf's concert, 2463.]]
Yasmina Burokov, aka Yasmin Piaf, was born in 2434 in the suburbs of Nal'tor to a particularly well-off Njarir'Akhran family. Yasmin's father, Boris Burokov was a low-ranking State department official and devout loyalist of the People's Republic. She spent her childhood being educated in the best State-run schools their family could afford and enjoyed relative wealth and prosperity far from the poorer outskirts of the city.

Even from a young age, Yasmin was interested in music. She was part of her school's choir and participated in several nationwide contests for the honor of singing for President Rhagrrhuzau Hadii. The all-female 'Band of Njarir Maidens' consisting of Yasmin and her classmates eventually won and sang for the President and other members of his cabinet at the end of the annual military parade held in Nal'tor. Eventually, she graduated and went on to the Academy of Musical Arts with a full scholarship.

Talent scouts pruning the burgeoning academy's student pool for the next starlet eventually discovered Yasmin during rehearsals for the school's upcoming musical, and she signed a tentative deal with the small publication Vostak Recordings. Her first record, simply titled The Man in Rouge, was released with minimal fanfare. Given that she had sung a small solo during her performance for the President, some Tajara recalled her name.

Yet her voice, described by some as angelic and innocent, found purchase with an aging generation of Tajara who wished a brief return to peaceful normalcy following the First Revolution. Her dedication to the traditional pop standard and recognition for torch songs eventually elevated her to the status of a household name, with her recording label releasing hit after hit. As a result, Yasmin Piaf has become one of the most famous singers in the modern era - one who has fostered a close relationship with State officials. She is one of the few artists who are approved to be played on State radio KGTW-11.

===Andrey Borisov===

Out of all the Tajara that one could argue embody loyalty to the People’s Republic, perhaps none are more memorable than Andrey Alexander Borisov. In the average Republican household, his name is just as common as President Hadii’s, owing to the fact that he is the face of State propaganda and news network RAFИ. Born in 2416 to a line of M’sai warriors, Andrey was not even two years old before humanity stumbled across Adhomai and lit the flame that ignited the First Revolution.

Andrey’s father and uncle were killed in the uprising, leaving him, his mother, and his sister alone to fend for themselves. His mother curried favor with the local rebel leader when their town fell to the onslaught of war; she became his concubine and, later, his wife. The ever-advancing front saw Andrey moved from home to home, where the young M’sai would often spend time talking to soldiers recovering after harsh fighting. They nourished a sense of patriotism in him, and eventually, he came to see the First Revolution as necessary for the future of the Tajara.

The war ended in 2432, when he was merely 16 years old. As the newly founded People’s Republic began the arduous transition from a movement to a government, Andrey’s connections with the upper echelon of PRA politicians bore fruit. He was taken on as a member of an officer’s general staff, headquartered in Nal’Tor, where he served as little more than a glorified secretary. His position put him in contact with the elite, however, and many found him charming and personable. His silver tongue earned him the interest of Dmitrys Marakov, the owner of the only State-approved television station at that point in time.

His ascension from lowly secretary to the major news anchor for RAFИ was one that involved plenty of political maneuvering, money - and, rumored by some, violence - but ultimately Andrey had proved his loyalty to the political elite of the People's Republic and he was rewarded with the honor of being their mouthpiece. As a result, no Tajara on Adhomai can go very long without seeing his smiling face on their television set, spinning the next story or cover-up at the behest of the State.

==Democratic People's Republic==

''"We are soldiers. We are fighters. We are war. We have forsaken the corrupt and decaying corpse of the xeno-loving People's Republic. We have left our homes and our families, but our cause is righteous. The suns are with us! The vile usurper of my friend and comrade Al'mari will have justice delivered to him! We will spill the blood of our enemies until our struggles are seen and heard, and we WILL retake OUR Republic!"

''- Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan, the day after the coup de tat began, 2451.''

===Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan===
[[File:Nateed portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A surprise picture of Nated, taken in 2458.]]
Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan was born in '''2404''' to a M'sai family under the service of the Hadii Dynasty. The son of a royal guard, Nated interacted with many Njarir children in his early life. He grew to resent their narcissism but was prepared to inherit his duty nonetheless. When the First Revolution ignited in '''2421''', Halkiikijr fought for the loyalists alongside the Hadii family. Becoming a battle-brother of Rhagrrhuzau Hadii, or better known as Al'Mari Hadii, Nated stood with the Hadii’s decision to abandon their royal roots and join the revolutionaries. When the war ended Al'Mari was sworn into office, Halkiikijr was made a Commander in Chief of the Republican Army in return for his service.

Al'Mari supposedly made promises of swearing-in Halkiikijr as the next president of the People's Republic once the political climate on Adhomai had stabilized. The legitimacy of this claim is not known, but what is known is that Al'Mari was assassinated during a military parade in '''2451''' and Njadrasanukii Hadii, vice president of the People's Republic, swore himself in as the successor of the presidency. Outraged at the assassination and accusing Njadrasanukii of treachery against the People’s Republic, Nated organized a coup against Malik. Bringing together military commanders dissatisfied with the new Hadiist policies, Halkiikijr created the Adhomai Liberation Army to dethrone the new President. He then took the title of Supreme Commander.

As the putsch attempt was thwarted by the Hadiist forces, Nated fled to Shastar City. The coup then turned into a full-blown civil war between the Liberation Army and the People’s Republic. Without off-world help, Nated called to arms anyone willing to support his cause. His movement became a unifying front to all kinds of elements opposing President Hadii; from democratic reformers to extremists fighting to free Adhomai from alien influence. For a decade, Halkiikijr led the Liberation Army as an effective opposing force against the People’s Republic and the New Kingdom. He favored the extensive use of irregular warfare coupled with the deployment of the army to secure decisive battles. A cult of personality formed around Halkiikijr; extremists claimed that he was a prophet sent by the Gods. The Supreme Commander took advantage of this belief to cultivate undying loyalty and fanaticism among his followers.

Believing that the territories under his control were ready for a democracy modeled after the Al'mariist principles, Nated's undisputed rule came to an end with the creation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai. Halkiikijr retired from his position as Supreme Commander to prevent a coup against the newly elected president. His retirement did not last long; he returned to power because of the Amohdan crisis in '''2462'''. Nated was given back the control of the Liberation Army and its remaining juntas to retake the Island of Amohda. After this display of weakness, Halkiikijr is unsure if the DPRA is truly ready to rule Adhomai. For him, the ALA is now more essential than before. Nated also faces infighting between his two right-hand men; commander Kahan and Kyff.

===Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad===

Kahan Hro'rammhad was born in '''2412''' to a Hharar family as their oldest children. A peasant from birth in the region of Southern Harr'masir, he was taught the traditional values of S'rendarr and Messa by his deeply religious parents. His childhood was cut short by the outbreak of the First Revolution; his family was expelled from their lands by the war. Thanks to its flat terrain, Southern Harr’masir saw the first deployment of armored vehicles in the conflict; trains, civilian cars, and trucks were outfitted for warfare by the rebels. Hro’rammhad joined the crew of an armored car as soon he turned 14 years old. Because of the high mortality among the revolutionaries, Kahan quickly found himself in the command of his own brigade. He became famous for his excellent use of the vehicles’ speed to encircle the enemy, and for his merciful nature. Monarchists soldiers were always given the chance of joining his side after capture. Hro’rammhad also forbade unnecessary executions and mistreatment of prisoners among his fighters.

Commander Kahan and his brigade were incorporated into the Hadiist faction shortly before the end of the First Revolution. As a member of the Republican Army, he was a major proponent of the transformation of the People’s Army into a motorized force. Tank brigades and motostrelki units were created under his supervision. Kahan funded the reconstruction of many temples destroyed during the revolution and frequently donated to charity through the interwar period. Hro’rammhad joined Nated’s coup due to his profound disagreement with Malik’s policies; he saw the oppression of the Zhan-Khazan as morally corrupt. Armored units that defected alongside him were organized into the Hro'rammhad Tank Corps under his command.

Hro'rammhad remained a merciful and pious Tajara through the Second Revolution. He rejected the notion of irregular warfare and continued to offer mercy to his enemies. As the leader of the main armored force in the Liberation Army, Kahan played an important role in decisive battles. This position allowed him to become a right-hand man for Nated. As part of his religiousness, Hro'rammhad considered the conflict to be a battle to protect the faith against the innate atheism of Hadiism. Religious imagery and motifs became common among his Tajara. The men under Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad are known to have the utmost respect for his bravery and mercy, most even going so far as to worship him as an embodiment of S'rendarr's justice. His success during the civil war earned him the nickname of “Undefeated Commander".

Despite the armistice, Commander Kahan remains as one of the second-in-command for Halkiikijr. He is an avid supporter of the transition to democracy, advocating for the dismantlement of the juntas. This position earned him many enemies among the more authoritarian elements within the Liberation Army. He is known to despise Commander Kyff Hotak for his tactics and personality. Both Tajara are currently engaged in an internal struggle to consolidate their influence over the Liberation Army.

===Commander Kyff Hotak===

Born in the year '''2406''' to a family of Zhan-Khazan miners in the Trizar, Kyff Hotak was supposedly destined to slave away for his Njarir master as his ancestors did for many generations. To avoid this fate, Hotak fled his home as a young Tajara. He ran into the wilderness until he found a bandit camp. Because of his age, the brigands decided to adopt Kyff as the group’s mascot. The boy grew up witnessing all kinds of crime and violence; later taking part in the band’s activity when old enough. The bandits sided with the rebels during the First Revolution in search of plunder. But their greed was their undoing; the criminals were massacred by the revolutionaries after they were discovered stealing rations. Hotak survived by being the one to report the activities of his previous comrades. As the war dragged on, Kyff became more bold and cruel in his revolutionary activities. He frequently engaged in assassinations, massacres, and false flag operations to crush the monarchists’ morale. Hotak was soon feared by his comrades and hated by his enemies. To him, everything was permissible to achieve victory. Impressed by the victories of the Hadii faction, he joined them as part of the early Ha'narr Corps.

The interwar period was fairly unremarkable for Kyff Hotak; he was given a low-ranking office position in the intelligence department. While Hotak advocated for the recreation of a force similar to the Mountain Ghost Corps, his request was ignored by the Hadiist high command. Memories of his excess in the First Revolution stopped Hotak from receiving any further promotions. He grew discontent with the People’s Republic, believing that he deserved more for his service. Seeing Nated's coup as an opportunity to rise to power, Kyff defected to the Liberation Army without hesitation.

Hotak organized his own unit of commando early into the war; a battalion trained in stealth operations. As a major proponent of irregular warfare, he also helped organize guerilla cells and coordinate terrorist attacks. The success of these groups granted him enough influence to become one of Nated's right-hand men. However, Commander Kyff quickly returned to his old ways; he started to wage a campaign of unrestrained terror. The presence of his soldiers became a harbinger of indiscriminate persecution, murder, excessive property requisition, and collective punishment against any community suspected of working with the enemy. Despite the protest of the civilian population and Commander Kahan, Halkiikijr refused to replace Kyff. Taking advantage of his reputation, Hotak ordered his Tajara to spread stories of him being the earthly manifestation of Messa's wrath. This tactic proved to be effective both among his enemies and allies.

Commander Kyff Hotak remains in service even after the armistice. Many within the army and the civilian administration desire to see Hotak punished for his war crimes, but Supreme Commander Nated continues to protect him. Kyff is a hardline supporter of the more authoritarian elements in the government and desires a strong centralized leadership above all else. He and Commander Hro'rammhad are rivals; both Tajara commonly fight each other over which direction the Liberation Army should go. Hotak is always accompanied by his pet [[Adhomai#Farwa (Tree-Hopper)|Farwa]], Ghiyath.

===President Almrah Harrlala===
[[File:harrlala portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the president during one of her speeches, done in 2461.]]
President Almrah Harrlala was born in '''2426''' to a family of Hharar factory workers in Shastar City. While her childhood was relatively unaffected by the First Revolution, she enjoyed many of the benefits brought by the People’s Republic during the interwar period. Being the first member of her household to receive a proper education, she became involved in the Party’s politics at a considerable young age. She believed that a stable democracy built upon the will of the people was the best path for Adhomai. She was also wary of the presence of megacorporations on the planet, considering their activities as harmful to the development of the Tajara species She campaigned for more worker’s rights and laws restricting corporation’s activities in the PRA. Almrah held a position within the Party until the ascension of President Njadrasanukii Hadii; he ordered the arrest of Harrlala due to her views.

Harrlala was held prisoner in Shastar during the first moments of the Civil war, only the capture of the city by the Liberation Army saved her from being transferred to another location. Hoping to continue her career in politics, she aligned herself with the rebels. Even if the despotic and extremist tendencies of the ALA worried Almrah, she held to Nated's promise of saving the Republic. She was given the position of Provisional Minister of Civil Rights when the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai was established.

As the Minister of Civil Rights, Almrah worked to protect the regional identities present in the DPRA. Her campaign to end military rule over the country while still upholding the principles of Al’mariism made her a popular figure among the moderate sectors of the population. Seeking to expand her political influence, she founded the National Adhomai Worker's Party. She was one of the candidates in the presidential elections of '''2460'''; she won the office of president by a narrow margin. President Harrlala’s ascension to power displeased the authoritarian wing of the Liberation Army, the military then planned a coup to restore their own rule. The putsch was stopped by the intervention of Supreme Commander Nated, who later resigned from his position to grant more powers to the civilian administration.

Following the Armistice, President Almrah Harrlala continued with her internal policies while maintaining a strong stance against foreign dominance. Under her rule, schools to preserve local cultures and languages were established, Gakal’zaal was liberated from the Unathi rule, and the DPRA developed its nuclear program. Her status as one of the first female rulers in modern Tajaran history has inspired many women to engage in DPRA politics. However, her regime is plagued with deep issues. The ghost of separatism lingers over the nation after the Amohdan attempt to secede. Her ability to reconcile the various factions in the government was severely doubted when she failed to draw a plan to handle the rebellious island. Since the return of Halkiikijr to power, the authoritarian elements see this as a moment of weakness in the young Republic. President Harrlala must be ready to face further opposition if she wants to see her vision of Adhomai come to life.

===Ex-interim President Brajrr Alnadruskiy===

Born in '''2423''' in the city of Mztel’mir, Brajjr Alnadruskiy was the youngest child of a family of brewers. He later joined the Republican Army at 17 years old, slowly climbed the ranks through diligent service to the military. Brajrr attributed the prosperity of interwar Adhomai to the strong leadership of President Al’mari; he believed that the Republic always needed a strongman in control to succeed. He severely doubted Malik’s competence because of his decision to undo his brother’s reform.

Brajrr finally rose to prominence with Nated's coup. Upon hearing of the revolution, he rallied the Liberation Army’s aligned troops in Das’nrra to assault Shastar. Alnadruskiy's attack was successful and he was named the Rrhaza-Akhran of the city. Shastar became the headquarter of the ALA, giving Brajrr a reasonable amount of influence within the army high command. He was known for his rigorous discipline and unforgiving nature. Many war prisoners were forced into labor by his orders. Brajrr was given the position of Interim President when the Democratic People’s Republic was created.

Alnadruskiy ran for president in the 2460 elections, seeking to centralize the nation and maintain the Army’s sway over the government. He founded the Free Tajaran People’s Party, gathering the most authoritarian elements in the Republic. After Almrah Harrlala’s victory by a narrow margin, he took part in the putsch against the newly elected president. Despite the defeat of the mutiny, Brajrr managed to convince Halkiikijr that he was forced by the extremists to join them. He was released and allowed to return to politics.

Ex-interim President Brajjr Alnadruskiy now leads the opposition to Harrlala’s regime. He continues to support a centralized state under the leadership of Supreme Commander Nated. Even when the successes of the current administration displease him, their latest crisis has given him enough to challenge Almrah. The return of Halkiikijr to the control of the Army is also considered a victory for him and his followers. Alnadruskiy awaits for the right moment of weakness to retake control of the DPRA.

===Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar===

The first and thus far only incident of weapons of mass destruction being employed on Adhomai happened in 2458, when the People’s Republic dropped a four-megaton nuclear bomb on the Liberation Army base in Quizosa. The death toll from the detonation was staggering, but the fallout from the bomb was carried on strong winds, leading to severe cases of radiation poisoning from the neighboring camps.

Tajara medical experience with radiation poisoning and the effects of nuclear bombs were practically non-existent. The only species in the galaxy that had the technology long before the Tajara were Xenos, and the Liberation Army did not have the luxury of free contact with extraplanetary forces. With the sick and dying mounting, a call for help was sent out to the surrounding territories. Many physicians and doctors made the long and difficult journey in the winter snows to help - at the forefront of them, Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar.

The effects of the bomb were catastrophic. Survivors were badly burned. Their fur fell out, never to grow back again - leaving them susceptible to Adhomai’s frigid temperatures. Their skin peeled off in sickly ribbons, hanging limply to the ground. Doctors were at a loss, with only a rudimentary understanding of what could have happened. Dr. Aleksandra took a sort of unofficial command of the medical effort, and coordinated efforts to assist the sick and dying.

Liberation-sympathetic Tajara, at her prodding, recovered as many documents as they could regarding the atom bomb from PRA-aligned holdings, downloading information from the extranet and thieving textbooks from high-security locations. Thanks to her ingenuity and leadership, the haphazard medical team of doctors saved a great many innocents from a slow, painful death - though they would have to live with the effects of the bomb for the rest of their lives. Dr. Aleksandra is widely known for her opposition to nuclear proliferation, due to her experiences, and has become the face of a growing anti-WMD movement across Ras’narr.

===Arzjun Haurjuhrl===

Rumors persist that Arzjun Haurjuhrl was sired out of wedlock, a result of an affair between a Zhan-Khazan mistress and a rebel leader. He was born in '''2427''' in the warmer regions near the city of Olska, and lived alone with his mother. He was scarcely a child when the war ended and the People’s Republic came to prominence. Both he and his mother suffered much in the way of discrimination - for being Zhan-Khazan as well as having a bastard child. This disconnect between what the People’s Republic promised and the way they were treated caused the young Arzjun to become disillusioned with the Republic.

He was further tested when his mother suddenly fell ill and died in the winter of 2445. With nothing left tying him down, abandoned as he had been by Adhomain society, he took what little funds they had been saving and paid a smuggler to carry him off-world. It took every penny but eventually, he found himself in Mendell City, carrying nothing but the clothes on his back. For a time, he lived on the streets, forced to beg to make ends meet. He soon found work at one of the shelters he had often stayed at. The community of Little Adhomai was more welcoming to him than the homeworld had been.

Deciding to pay back the kindness he received, he took part in many community outreach programs, including plays and dramas for the children of Little Adhomai. His passion for the arts as a medium of expression took root here, and his name rose to some prominence amongst the local Tajara population thanks to his charity work. He aspired to work on his own big picture and got his chance thanks to the collective donations of many Tajara. Wealthy Xenos also had an interest in seeing what the immigrant could do, though perhaps a few thought it would look good as a public relations move.

The script he wrote went through many revisions and sat for a good while before it was picked up by a studio. The community who had helped him before had done it once again; the surprise blockbuster When Summer Came to Nazira was one of the top ten highest-grossing films in Biesel history. Its anti-tyranny message was seen by some as an expression of the director’s own viewpoint on the People’s Republic. In some ways, they were correct - Arzjun is a quiet supporter of the DPRA, which has put him at odds with the Republican government. As a result, his film is banned from showing on Adhomai - though this has not stopped smuggled copies from being distributed amongst DPRA theaters.

==New Kingdom==

''"Loyal subjects, countrymen, brothers. It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that we must conscript from the provinces in order to maintain our fight in this war. However, you are not alone. Even as the new compulsory service legislature is passed, the aristocrats across the kingdom are likewise mobilized under a new service gentry system, so that all of the Kingdom is together in this struggle."''

''- King Vahzirathaamro Azunja, announcing the beginning of conscription and formalization of the service gentry in 2453.''

=== King Vahzirthaamro Azunja===

King Azunja was born in 2400 in the city of Kaltir to the noble Njarir’Akhran Azunja line. His father was Farkhanzirhal and his mother Dramahdarmah. Located in the far reaches of Kaltir, the Azunja family line was one of compassion and fair treatment, as only in unity and brotherhood could they hope to survive the harsh far reaches of Northern Adhomai. Their peasants were kept well and treated with dignity, and the nobles, while privileged, never indulged in cruelty. A noble paige since the age of 10, Vahzirthaamro excelled in reading and writing from an early age. He prepared to inherit the family throne as the sole son of his parents until the first civil war of Adhomai ignited in 2421.

When war broke out between the nobility and peasants, house Azunja was hesitant to pick sides, as they disagreed with the morals of both sides. Their distant position in the wild made them capable of ignoring the war until its end, as the Hadii family was placed at the head of Adhomai in 2432. Carrying the flags of the newly founded People's Republic of Adhomai, the Republic's army demanded the surrender of all nobility in Kaltir. The entire populace requested to be left in peace, as the peasantry and nobility there had never declared war on one another. Believing the peasants were utterly spineless and brainwashed, the People's Republic executed all current nobles ruthlessly, scattering the royalty of the region. Vahzirthaamro was placed in prison by his father's retinue of intellectuals, who declared he had to remain hidden amongst the lowest of the low if he wished to stay alive. From that moment on, Vahzirthaamro Azunja knew that peace was impossible so long as a compromise was not made, and a true constitutional monarchy was made the unanimous government on Adhomai.

Word passed amongst the Tajara at the work camps about the possibility that Vahzirthaamro still lived as many pre-war intellectuals gathered with him in private. They spun every possibility of a government, even discussing adopting human political systems as they gathered workers, fighters, poets, and philosophers to form an organized nation as they spread their ideas to the guards of the facility, a majority of which who were old peasants under the Azunja family who thought the entirety of the nobility had been executed. Delighted to see his return, they joined his side and swore allegiance to his family once more.

In 2449, in the middle of the night, Vahzirthaamro was released in secret along with the entirety of his retinue, as they quickly spread from town to town, asking for assistance from newly appointed officials and workers. Before long, the reminiscent families of the Kaltir region were happy to rejoin their flock. By 2450 his claim to rule had spread to all of Northern Harr'masir, and the New Kingdom of Adhomai officially seceded as an independent nation under the newly declared King Vahzirthaamro Azunja. He then led the Kingdom for the next decade, managing the balance between the different factions within the government and the ongoing war. Vahzirthaamro became a unifying figure for the population. After successfully securing Kaltir's ancient lands and negotiating the armistice that brought the end to the war, King Vahzirthaamro passed away in 2463. His niece, Shumaila Azunja, inherited his throne.

===Queen Shumaila Azunja===

[[File:Shumaila portrait.png|200px|thumb|right| A portrait done of Queen Shumaila Azunja, holding the ceremonial orr'bu s'rrendar, circa 2460.]]
Shumaila Azunja was born in 2431 in Northern Harr’smirr, as the daughter of one of the kingdom’s princes. She survived the Republican slaughter by being hidden away among the peasantry, raised in secret by individuals still loyal to the old ruling dynasty. From a young age, Shumaila began to participate in secretive royalist circles within Kaltir. Here, she began her service to the kingdom by helping distribute leaflets proclaiming the coming of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. When the uprising broke out in 2450, she joined the new Imperial Adhomian Army. Shumaila then rose through the officer ranks quickly, becoming a commander in the Jabrut Almumalik and establishing a name for herself on the front.

Many of those who served under Shumaila describe her as being a woman of unbreakable will, never faltering as casualties stacked or as barrages shattered the ground around her. Some even say she wouldn’t even blink at the sight of the PRA’s dreaded tanks rolling towards the lines. For her exploits in the war’s 2459 offensive and the defense of the Vlrralkhzazhul line, Shumaila came to be known as “The Storm of Harr’smir”, matching her iron will with a burning fury to destroy the kingdom’s enemies.

In 2460, after meeting with several prospective heirs, King Vahzirthaamro had chosen his niece Shumaila to serve as the Crown Heir. Although the majority supported this decision alongside most of Parliament and the nobility, a large fraction remained wary of the decision of a military leader over other options. However, this opposition has shrunk over the past few years. Shumaila remains strong on her position of expanding the military, but she has also spoken about increasing ties to the galaxy’s Megacorporations to modernize the New Kingdom. Nor has she made any comments regarding changing the democratic systems of Parliament and the Chamber. Coupled with her public appearances and active presence in the newspapers, many woes and worries of her ascension have been dissuaded.

Since entering the public eye in 2459, Shumaila enjoys much support from the women of Kaltir. Many look to her as an inspiration, buying “military” style jackets to emulate her look, given that Shumaila became one of the few Tajara women to lead a nation. However, this fame has also led to calls from the nobility and her family to choose a husband. Shumaila retains that her marriage comes after her coronation. She was finally crowned in 2463 after King Azunja passed away. Outside of continuing her uncle's legacy, her plans to the Kingdom are still unclear to the wide public
[[File:Marshal portrait.png|200px|thumb|left| A portrait of Field-Marshal Zarkradar'Akhan, circa 2420.]]
===Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan===

Rrhazhal was born in '2380 to the noble Njarir’Akhran Zarkradar'Akhan line, however, he was a legitimized bastard of a Zhan-Kazan maid. As the youngest of his brothers, Rrhazhal was sent into the service of the Azunja family as King Farkhanzirhal Azunja's servant at the age of 10. King Azunja noticed the young child had a talent for philosophy and strategy. The two had many intellectual discussions together as Rrhazhal quickly became a trusted advisor of King Farkhanzirhal by the time he was 20. At this time, King Azunja decided he trusted Rrhazhal with protecting the life of the newly born Vahzirthaamro. On the eve of the First Civil War, Rrhazhal was tasked with training the peasantry of Kaltir in order to defend their fiefdom and nobility against attackers. When Kaltir was annexed by the People's Republic of Adhomai in 2432, Farkhanzirhal frenziedly ordered Rrhazhal to hide Vahzirthaamro before People's Republic soldiers stormed the palace, killing almost everyone. From then on Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan personally accompanied Vahzirthaamro Azunja as his protector and chief advisor.

In 2450, once the New Kingdom had officially declared independence from the People's Republic of Adhomai, Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan was promoted to the rank of Field-Marshal personally by King Azunja, and today oversees all military operations inside of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Respected for his tactical skill but notorious for his radical belief that a compromise is not possible and a complete return to the old nobility is Adhomai's only option for peace, Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan is one of the oldest fighting nobles left on Adhomai.

===Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas===

Hailing from a royal cadet line and born in 2402, Dynhaas followed his father and brothers to join the Das’nrra Empire’s navy at a young age. When the First Revolution came, naval losses coupled with the rebel conquest of Das’nnra resulted in Dynhaas, the last man left of his line, surrendering and being imprisoned. With the war’s end in 2432, Dynhaas was offered a pardon by the Party in exchange for developing the Republican Navy. He would come to accept this over the alternative of death.

Accepting his defeat and believing that the age of nobility came to an end, Dynhaas came to view the Republican Navy as his new purpose in life. He worked to advance it alongside other pardoned nobles and founded the Oceanmasters Lounge, a private club within the naval officer corps. This path in life would change with the announcement of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Believing that a way to restore the old glory days of kingdoms laid with the NKA, Dynhaas began to plan a revolt. Partnering with other sympathetic admirals, he had the Republican Navy’s Grand Admiral and several other loyalists killed on a fateful night at the Shastar Naval Base before fleeing eastwards in 2450. In the same year that the New Kingdom was declared, Dynhaas delivered them the strongest naval force Adhomai had ever seen. King Azunja had declared him the Kingdom’s Grand Admiral shortly after meeting with Dynhaas in Miran’mir.

With the Republican Navy's command almost crippled and the ALA unable to compete with their dominance of the sea, Dynhaas used his fleets during the war to support and supply the Royal Army while helping smash the enemies of the New Kingdom. The artillery barrages of his ships were important in coastal battles during the NKA's offensives while their supremacy saved the Royal Marines from certain destruction following the failed Ras'nrr expedition. The prestige of his position made Dynhaas an instant celebrity in the NKA as well. Many propaganda reels and photos showed him as a majestic lord of the sea, something he capitalized on heavily to present himself as the very pinnacle of noble glory. Always well-groomed, well-dressed, and impeccable at talking despite whatever circumstances he was in, Dynhaas never passed the opportunity to host an interview. Most notable was Dynhaas' interview on his opinions of xenos of the S'rand’marr coalition, conducted on his capital vessel while it sieged Nal'tor in the final stages of the war. His statements on Unathi and Skrell were less than positive. After the expulsion of the People's Republic from Harr'masir in 2461, Admiral Mahtra infamously ordered the Royal Navy to engage in an unrestricted bombardment campaign of the eastern Hadiist coast. Cities and villages were targets of frequent naval artillery strikes; the battleships shelled military and civilian targets indiscriminately. The Navy infamously used incendiary shells during these attacks, causing entire neighborhoods to be engulfed in firestorms.

Post-war, Dynhaas went on several speaking tours in the first year of the armistice. Traveling from city to city, his public events were used to promote his upcoming biography and drew crowds in the tens of thousands. Politically, he maintains that the future of the NKA always lies within the navy, and that the industry of the New Kingdom must always retain a heavy focus on their shipyards. Dynhaas has also been vocal in his beliefs of a stronger monarch, often using the emergency powers King Azunja had as an example of the strong benefits that could come with such. He is yet to comment at all on his supposed rival, Mira'zkui, at all.

===Grand Duke Akym Yudenikh===

Born in the Das'nrra Empire to a noble family in 2412, Akym Yudenikh survived the First Revolution by escaping to Northern Harr'masir and hiding his identity. After the Hadiist occupation of the Kingdom of Kaltir, Yudenikh joined the People's Republic bureaucracy; he became responsible for the administration of the local rail system. Akym was infamous for his corruption; he frequently sold permits, disregarded contraband reports, and accepted bribes.

Because of his background, Akym was contacted by the underground royalist movement. He quickly became one of the main supporters of the group; he used his position within the Hadiist government to secure supplies and funding for the incoming uprising. Weapons, machinery, and ammunition were diverted to the Royalist cells. Akym was awarded the title of baron, a seat in the parliament, and some land confiscated from the People's Republic when Vahzirthaamro returned. However, his ambitions did not stop there. Using the money made from his time as a Republican bureaucracy, alongside whatever profit he could extract from his new holdings, Yudenikh continued to acquire more estate. Newly liberated farms were sold to him at a meager price thanks to his connections within the government. In a question of years, he became a Grand Duke and one of the major landowners of the New Kingdom. Akym controversially used prisoners of war as workers in his plantations during the Second Revolution as part of deals with the military.

Following the Armistice, Akym Yudenikh now leads the Royalist Party; his main mission is to maintain the status quo. The continuation of the constitutional monarchy and the privileges of the nobility align perfectly with his interests. He is one of the major supporters of further deals with megacorporations. Grand Duke Akym is not afraid to use his position to protect his interest in the parliament. Under his vision, prosperity for the New Kingdom means more power and wealth to its elite.

===Prince Serhiy Oliinyk===

Born as the third son to a family of Njarir'Akhran in 2434, Serhiy Oliinyk's life was profoundly affected by events over which he had no control. Raised in a household of avid royalists supporters, Serhiy was exposed to his parents' ideology since his youth. However, the boy had his reservations in regards to the possible return of the monarchy; he doubted that they could truly avoid the mistakes of the past. For his support during the uprising in Northern Harr'masir, the patriarchy of the Oliinyk family was given a seat in the parliament, a title of nobility, and a modest tract of land. Serhiy mistakenly believed that he could escape his bloodline's obligation thanks to his status as the third child. He already had a passion in his life: playing the P'rrama.

The war was cruel to the Oliinyk. Serhiy's brothers were killed while serving the army. This put him in an uneasy position as the heir of a parliamentary seat. The growing debt forced his father to sell whatever land they had left; the Oliinyk had officially joined the ranks of landless nobility. The final blow came in 2459 with the bombing of the Parliament; Serhiy inherited his progenitor's seat after his demise in the attack. The young musician was thrown into the midst of the New Kingdom's politics. Influenced by his social status and beliefs, he aligned himself to the Commoners Party.

If he is truly unable to escape his fate, Prince Serhiy decided to make the best out of it. Because of his age and a family full of martyrs, Serhiy became the Commoners Party's main spokesperson. Convincing the Queen to support the Populists will not be easy; the Conservatives and Absolutists are far more powerful and influential. A powerful strategy is necessary to guarantee the Commoners Party triumph in the parliament. Serhiy plans to retire from politics after the hereditary parliamentary positions are abolished and the Kingdom is fairer to its population. He hopes to return to his greatest passion: music.

===Count Tscherim Sanguszkho===

Hailing from a cadet house of the Rrhakaslov dynasty, Tscherim Sanguszkho was born in 2433 shortly after his family escaped to Kaltir to avoid the First Revolution's massacres. He was raised on a small farm frequented by disposed nobles and royalist sympathizers. Sheltered from the rest of Adhomai, he grew only knowing the world only through the nostalgic tales of pre-contact Njarir'Akhran, The Sanguszkho family was quick to offer their support to King Azunja when he returned; the Tscherim's father was given a seat in the parliament. Tscherim became a low-ranking officer in the army.

Tscherim Sanguszkho's military career came to an end in 2460 when he was gravely wounded in combat. Taking advantage of his pension and family's position, Tscherim spent the next years in gentlemen's clubs. In these places, he entered into contact with radical Absolute Royalists and became deeply interested in [[Tajaran Minor Religions#Ancient Tajara Theory|esoteric beliefs]]. Tscherim founded his organization in 2462: the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity. Drawing inspiration from the stories of an idealized pre-First Contact society, the ideology known as Revival Royalism was born from the Fraternity's meetings. Posing as a regular club, Tscherim was able to introduce other nobles to his ideals. Knowing that the task of enforcing the old order was not an easy one, Sanguszkho chose a common enemy to unite the kingdom against: the Tajara of mixed heritage.

Tscherim's plan came to fruition when his father died in a car accident in 2463; he inherited a landed title, a state, and a seat in the Parliament. Shortly after, the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity opened its membership to the public and made its intentions clear. Thanks to a deal with the Officers and Royal parties, the Fraternity became the fourth faction in the Parliament. Despite being the leader of the smallest Party, Count Tscherim has already begun to plot to slowly introduce his ideology into the New Kingdom.

===Ser Mrakhanjurl Ii'rka===

Mrakhanjurl was born in 2422 in a Zhan-Khazan family in a small village outside Olska. He received little education nor traveled far outside his village. As soon as he came of age at 16 he joined the rest of the village mining bauxite ore to be shipped to Olska to make aluminum. He eventually lost both parents to lung cancer from the mine's poor ventilation before he was 23. In 2452, when he was 29, he traveled with a dozen other Zhan-Khazan miners several miles to Olska to join a protest against the new legislation of President Hadii that was meant to crack down 'subversive elements' that many felt were unfair to Zhan-Khazan. The army was called in and brutally repressed the demonstration, which saw Mrakhanjurl narrowly escape with his life. He returned to his village to find that it had been torched by the republican army for housing subversive agitators.

Mrakhanjurl mourned the loss of his village and was picked up by rebel militia, who revealed that they had managed to provide early warning to the village and evacuate over a dozen people, but the army had managed to find and kill all but a handful of survivors. In gratitude for the rebels dying for his village, and to avenge the deaths, Mrakhanjurl joined the armed resistance that eventually joined itself under the New Kingdom of Adhomai. In a very short few years became a remarkable marksman, gaining the most recorded kills of any Tajara sniper. Current New Kingdom estimates put Mrakhanjurl's kill count at 285, 32 of those enemy PRA snipers.

Mrakhanjurl also managed to evacuate countless civilians from Republic territory to northern New Kingdom holdings. During the famous ''Rout of the 2nd Battalion'', in which New Kingdom defenders unsuccessfully attempted to prevent Republican forces from capturing Baltor, Mrakhanjurl assumed command of the 4th Company after both its leading officers had been killed by sniper fire. Despite a serious gunshot wound to the leg Mrakhanjurl began shouting orders and rallied the shattered defenders, who were the last line of defense between the advancing Republic forces and thousands of refugees attempting to flee the city. The ''Rally of the 4th Company'' on 2456 successfully managed to delay advancing Republic troops long enough for thousands of more refugees to escape into New Kingdom territory who would otherwise face atrocity.

For his bravery and growing fame (which was now considered too important to risk in the war effort), Mrakhanjurl was given the Order of the Victorious Sun, the highest honor in the New Kingdom, as well as being the first Zhan-Khazan in history to be given the noble rank of Ser. He remains a hero to the Zhan-Khazan and the New Kingdom.

===King of the Mountains Rustam Harmaliik===
[[File:harmaliik portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the king in his riding regalia, done in 2454.]]
Rustam Harmaliik was born in 2427 as the son of a deposed Njarir'Akhran noble family. He spent most of his youth in the rural region of Harr'masir, where he had contact with some groups of Rhazar'Hrujmagh that inhabited the region. As an adult, he found employment in law enforcement and was sent by the People’s Republic to support the efforts to settle the rock nomads of the Harr’masir region in 2448 as a Republican official.

While working alongside the authorities to make sure that the nomadic Zhan would accept and adopt a sedentary lifestyle, Rustam grew more interested in their culture and became skeptical of the Hadii’s regime and how they were treating the Rock Nomads. Unrest among the Rhazar'Hrujmagh soon followed, and Rustam would try to offer his support in any way possible, such as sabotaging equipment shipment or relaying misleading intelligence. The government soon realized his treason, forcing Rustam to abandon his post and escape into the wilderness.

Rustam found shelter among a caravan of the Rhazar'Hrujmagh, and soon adopted their way of life. Unrest and resistance continued among the rock nomads, and Harmaliik joined their struggle against the People’s Republic. With the New Kingdom’s rebellion, the control of the region waned and the Republican efforts shifted to other problems, which allowed the nomad resistance to blossom into guerrilla warfare. Rustam climbed the ranks of his caravan’s forces, winning prestige and favor by leading them against the Republican forces.

The second revolution happened, and the Rhazar'Hrujmagh resistance continued. Rustam assumed the leadership of his adopted caravan and aimed to acquire more support among the other Rock Nomads. Through the years of the conflict, he gathered more men and wagons under his command, through diplomacy or conquest, but limiting himself to defensive tactics, ambushes, and raids. The political stance of Harmaliik has always been one of neutrality in the conflict, never compromising fully with the Adhomai Liberation army, due to his Njarir’Akhran origins and monarchist sentiments, and never declaring any support to the New Kingdom, in fear of losing the trust of his fellow nomads,

Due to a republican offensive against the nomadic guerrillas in 2461, Rustam decided to declare himself the Almalik’Rhazar, a word roughly translated as "leader of the mountains", following an ancient nomadic tradition that allows the largely independent Rock Nomad caravans to elect a ruler among themselves. This decision alienated him from his ALA allies and the other nomads, forcing him to side with the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Harmaliik and his caravans have joined the kingdom war effort. He and his people were later granted the southeast territories of the New Kingdom for their support during the conflict.

===Brother Mikhail Ordau===
Little is known about Mikhail Oradu’s parentage. He was given to the Parivara at a very young age, left on the doorstep of Miran'mir's abbey. Thus the Family took him in as they do many small children, teaching him and educating him about S’rendarr and Messa. Mikhail was an accomplished writer for his age, but a speech impediment left him at a disadvantage when it came to oral presentations. The boy was known to be bookish, and spent much of his free time in the abbey’s library as well as its restricted section, thanks to his close friendship with the abbot.

He had an unusual interest in the sciences for a clergyman. As the Second Revolution loomed ahead, and whispers of splitting from the Republic crept into the local city, he busied himself with reading and tending to the monastery’s garden. Eventually, Miran’mir and all of northern Harr’masir split from the Republic to form the New Kingdom. With the war came plenty of hardship, and the Priests of S’rendarr did their best to help alleviate the tragedy amongst the peasants.

With little farmable land and a severe manpower disadvantage, the New Kingdom struggled to provide for its people. Starvation was a very real threat, and the abbey’s garden was not sufficient. A conflicted Mikhail turned once again to the abbey’s library and science for an answer; and, as though a miracle from the Suns themselves, one came. He discovered an ancient text detailing breeding methods for slaves, from long before the First Revolution. Suggestions on how to pass on desirable traits and mannerisms; to breed subservience. Controversial, but an unknowing descriptor of genetics and hereditary traits.

It was armed with this knowledge that Mikhail set about breeding new plants. Earthen roots, dirt berries, and more were cultivated for generations by Mikhail, aiming to pass on traits like hardiness and vitality. The plants became much more accustomed to growing in harsh conditions thanks to his work, and as the New Kingdom pushed back the Republicans and gained more territory, these hardier plants were easier to grow in the shell-shocked muddy battlefields. The threat of starvation became less and less pressing as more and more farms could deal with the way the war affected the terrain. For his efforts, Brother Mikhail was afforded a personal audience with the King.

===Oleg Al'Mor===
Born Oleg Murkov Al-Al’Mori in 2400, Oleg was a teenager when humanity stumbled upon the Tajara. His simple life of working and indentured servitude was suddenly upended with the influx of new ideals; he and his family, along with a contingent of other refugees of war avoided the conflicts erupting across the planet by staying in the mountains of Northern Harr’masir. To pass the time and keep themselves entertained, the telling of fireside epics became common. Oleg was noted to be imaginative with his tales even then, regaling other Tajara with stories of war and love.

Eventually, however, the nomadic hunter-gatherer life in the mountains could no longer support their numbers, and Oleg’s group descended from their hiding place. By this point, rebel armies had mostly taken hold of Kal’tir and the surrounding areas, giving Oleg relative freedom. When the war finally came to an end in 2432, Oleg was well known as a traveling bard and performer who earned his living using his creative skills entertaining war-weary soldiers and newly freed slaves. The stability that came with the formation of the People’s Republic afforded Oleg the opportunity to settle down in Kal’tir once again, where he took an interest in the local theater scene.

His first play, The Jester’s End, pioneered the form of black comedy and was a throwback to the days of servitude. Over the course of his career in Kal’tir, Oleg penned many more plays under his pseudonym Oleg Al’Mor, out of fear of inviting reprisals from the People’s Republic. Oleg’s plays were often scandalous or controversial for challenging the traditional morality held by Tajara. However, as time went on, his works became formulaic and much less shocking, and thus by extension more palatable to the average Tajara. Black comedy found a good home amongst the countless war veterans of the First Revolution.

Oleg considered himself an intellectual, and when the New Kingdom of Adhomai split from the People’s Republic he was an outspoken supporter. He and his family had experienced the benefits of the old ways, and with his considerable wealth from play royalties, he financed the New Kingdom with donations. Sadly, Oleg Al’Mor passed away in December of 2460 after completing his final work. The play, titled A Maiden’s Voyage, was particularly well-received, with even the King himself getting a private showing. Many of his works are still performed in theaters all over the New Kingdom’s territory.

==Others==

===Father Valyan K'rrirran===

''"From the stars, he saw Adhomai's cities and mountains become nothing more than specks. When he beheld the planet from far away, he realized that it was a small dot within this vast new galaxy. It was then he saw how truly special our homeland and our people are."''

''-Father Valyan K'rrirran, written as the ending to the prologue in his novel "An Introduction to The Twin Suns", 2430.''

Born in 2406 to a family of merchants in Dras’nrra, Valyan chose to join the faith at a young age, and became a fully-fledged Priest of S'rendarr in the midst of the First Revolution. It was during this time that Valyan had also become one of the first few Tajara to leave Adhomai. Settling on Xanu Prime in 2426 and remaining there until the war’s end in 2431, Valyan provided much of the first glimpses into the theology of the Tajara during this time. He, later on, returned home after publishing his novel written in Tau Ceti Basic on the history of the S’rendarr and Messa. Following the Second Revolution, he had replaced Walid Al’qat as The Father of the Parivara after Al’qat died of heart failure. Since gaining his position in 2462 the new Father has already demonstrated to Adhomai that he is able to rise to the task of leading the Parivara. Alongside his archivers, he had revealed misinterpretations in the vows of the Suns Sisters and amended the Vow of Silence to the original Vow of Whispers.

The Father has kept this momentum of progress going forward. In the same year, he began to assist with several archeological digs across Adhomai to gather more information on not just the history of the Suns faith, but also of the Tajara people. Much of this collection is digitalized and shared through a newly developed site (Simply dubbed “Parivara and Tajara History.pra”.) made by an influx of well-educated acolytes. Now, any curious Tajara or alien can find a trove of information on the Parivara and new details on the species’ history. This mix of preserving old traditions alongside progressing aspects of the church has made Valyan popular among the younger generations of Tajara, kindling their interest in the faith.

However, Valyan is not free of controversy. Some conspiracy theorists believe that he could have had a hand in the death of the previous Father, citing the lack of provided medical care and the quick selection of Valyan as the new Father. Others point to his connection to the revitalized Kin of S’rendarr and believe him to be funding the Kin, supplying them with off-world equipment and arms to continue their war against whoever is deemed the faith’s enemy. Nonetheless, these are regarded as little more than baseless rumors by much of the population.

===Rikdar Al'Manq===

Rikdar was born on '''2429''' the noble Njarir’Akhran Bayan line in Nal'Tor, with Bayan being his birth name. However, his parents were disappeared by Republic secret police in one of the frequent purges of Njarir’Akhran and he was put into state-run foster care. He has raised in the ''House Of Young Patriots'' orphanage until he was adopted at 14 to Hharar parents and took their last name of Al'Manq. As he was going to school his parents and teachers immediately took notice of his artistic abilities and interest in painting, which the orphanage had initially tried to discourage. In 2446, when he was 18, Rikdar won an art contest where he submitted a portrait of his Environmental Geology teacher and gained a prestigious scholarship in the Nal'Tor University of The Arts, a state-funded institution.

Rikdar attended the university for several years, though his studies were sometimes interrupted or delayed by the periodic waves of anti-Njarir’Akhran demonstrations and violence that gripped the campus. However, he quickly became a prodigy amongst his peers. Al'Manq's style of oil painting and doing portraits became a sensation in the capital, with the mayor and several city officials requesting their portraits done. Rikdar graduated from university at 20 years old in '''2450''' with a Bachelor of Arts. Having already received several high-profile commissions, including the then-President Al'Mari Hadii, whose portrait was done a week before his death. Al'Manq managed to survive the resulting chaos across Adhomai following the assassination of Al'Mari Hadii by the nature of his celebrity status, but his popularity remains confined within the major cities.

At only 29 years old in '''2458''' the ''Al'Manq Style'' has already become a famous style of painting across Adhomai. The Al'Manq Style is noted for its use of rich oil-based paint that focuses on portraits and profiles. The colors are often bold or show rich texture and color. The hands of Tajara are painted without being anatomically correct. Critics blast Al'Manq's apparent inability to draw hands correctly but Rikdar has stated that it's his personal style. This has influenced other artists, and many attempting to pay homage to Al'Manq draw hands as stubby. Rikdar remains extremely popular on Adhomai. The People's Republic remains a quiet supporter of his work, and state officials pay him handsome commissions for their portraits to be done, though they frown on him taking commissions from New Kingdom officials as well. The Adhomai Liberation Army has painted Rikdar as just another nobleman and several members of the Liberation Army have given open contempt for his work.

===Bloodstorm===

Bloodstorm is a famous and infamous DPRA Heavy Metal Band that has surged in popularity with the younger “denier” generation. Those in this generation are categorized not only by refusing the current status quo, but also have a general disdain towards a complete return to Tajara roots or liberalization through corporations. Fans of this band are usually punks, anarchists,s and jaywalkers. While the band mostly operated inside the DPRA, during one of their galactic tours their citizenships were revoked, making it impossible for them to return to Adhomai. They currently preside in Mendell City.

====Vargir Stenovich “Godslayer”====

The lead guitarist of the group, Vargir Stenovich is known as the spokesperson of the band and the most controversial figures. Admitting to being a Raskara cultist in public and calling out the Parivara on their “bedding with the government”. Vargir has been involved in numerous scandals including protesting military parades, playing one of his songs next to a work camp without permission, and lastly ingesting drugs on live television and proceeding to slander the ALA for bombing the NKA parliament.

====Janos Al-Lung “Drowner”====

Janos is the bassist of Bloodstorm and the only band member without a criminal record. He has frequently butted heads with Stenovich over the political extremities the band goes through to discredit not only PRA and NKA but also DPRA. Janos Al-Lung is currently the only member of Bloodstorm that is trying to re-apply for a DPRA citizenship.

====Al-Atil Csihar “Nightmaster”====

The vocalist, Al-Atil, is known for his “mrowl”, a high, long, yelp that is recorded as the loudest sound produced by a Tajara. He loves to interact with the public and often stays behind on the podium to sign autographs and fans using black or red spray paint.

====Cecil Kernov “Bloodletter”====

Cecil is the Drummer and has actually served time, unlike the other band members. Kernov has his nickname for a reason as he’s been charged with armed assault during his youth, which is how he met with Vargir. Later in life, he was arrested again, after he had brutally assaulted a fan who had climbed on stage with a drum, getting it stuck on said Tajara’s head and pushing him off the stage with a dropkick. This led to multiple fractures and long-term disabilities for the fan.

====The Mist “Mih”====

A yet unknown band member by the public, “Mih” remains anonymous always wearing a mask in public and never speaking. He plays the P'rrama, an old Tajara string instrument, with 8 strings mirrored in a long horn-like pipe that extends to the ground which emits a loud, brass twanging noise described as an over-amped guitar. "Mih" has been under investigation multiple times, however, the enigmatic member always manages to avoid the authorities.

'''Most Notable Albums Include:'''

The Freezing Blizzard - An early, traditional album, mediocre without the employment of the P'rrama.

War Is Fuck, Let's Do It - The core most popular album drawing similarities between war and love.

If Messa Was Here She'd Be a Whore - First anti-Parivara album created, criticizing their ignorance towards women and discrimination of female priests.

We Live in a Society - WLiaS describes pure hatred of every single faction present not even sparing Sol or Tau Ceti.

Shell In, Spine Out - Another anti-war album, describing the life of a dying soldier.

S'rrendar Loves You Except He Doesn't - Repeated hatred of Parivara, slander, and is famous for having a recording of Cecil attacking a fan with the drum.

If You're Old You Should Die - Scolding critique of the old leading system and a call for the younger generation to disregard the politicians and tear it all down.

[[Tajara|Tajaran]] history and society has a long list of notable individuals and heroes that are known across [[Adhomai]].

==People's Republic==

''"Comrades, in this struggle we fight to protect the progress we have fought so hard to make in the preceding decades. Our march forever onwards for a Hadiist society must not be stopped by the usurpers who would see us become a brutish military dictatorship, nor those fetid imperialists who would restore the atrocities of the old ways."''

''- President Njadrasanukii Hadii, in a televised address to the people in 2452.''
===President Njadrasanukii Hadii===

[[File:Hadii portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the president, done in 2460.]]
Njadrasanukii Hadii, also known as Malik Hadii, was born in '''2402''' to the noble Njarir'Akhran Hadii line. His mother was Rajjurl Hadii, and his father Tajrhalrr Hadii. He got involved with the military at an early age, becoming a cadet for the Royal Navy at 16 and achieving a commission as a Lieutenant-Commander at 22, and leading his own destroyer as a Captain at 29. During the revolution, he briefly fought for the loyalists but was recalled to the Hadii Citadel to help defend his family's ancestral home. Following the revolution and the Hadii's rise in the new Federal Republic, Njadrasanukii was given the office of Vice-President under his brother Al'Mari Hadii.

Malik assumed the presidency in '''2451''' after the assassination of Al'mari. He continued his brother's early agenda of collaborating with NanoTrasen and other galactic powers. Njadrasanukii purged any suspicious elements from his administration after the Nated's coup, consolidating his power through the imprisonment and execution of anyone that threatened his regime. Further authoritarian measures were established by him; the expansion of the secret police, the rapid industrialization of the PRA, and further persecution against those who did not conform to his policies. Under Malik Hadii's control, the current form of Hadiism took shape; an ideology focused on the creation of a monolithic Tajaran culture under the unquestionable guidance of the Hadii political line. The office of the president had its powers largely expanded under his rule, allowing Njadrasanukii to control all aspects of the People's Republic government. Total loyalty to Njadrasanukii is expected from all Party members.

A state-endorsed cult of personality has been established around President Hadii. Through a robust propaganda system, republican citizens are informed daily about Malik's achievements and how only through his guidance the Republican can prosper. Portraits of President Hadii can be found in most Hadiist homes and government buildings. Njadrasanukii is known for his speeches praising his own administration and the bravery of his people; his voice can be heard frequently on the radio. While many admire him as a strong leader, others fear his ruthless ways of dealing with the opposition.

President Hadii is famous for his extreme paranoia. Very few high-ranking members of the Party have direct access to him and little is known about his private life. He is constantly surrounded by hand-picked members of the secret service; those bodyguards are always under the risk of being purged for any reason. It is rumored that he has survived more than three hundred assassination attempts.

Despite the outcome of the Second revolution, Njadrasanukii continues to rule the People's Republic with an iron grip. He did not give up his plans of reestablishing Hadiist hegemony over Adhomai.
[[File:headmaster portrait.png|200px|thumb|left|A rare picture of the camera shy Tyr'adrr, taken during the closure of an illegal protest, dated to 2459.]]
===Headmaster Harrrdanim Tyr'adrr===

Harrrdanim was born in '''2425''' to a M'sai family serving the Hadii during the First Revolution. Wishing to follow in the footsteps of his parents, he joined the Hadiist Party at a young age. He soon caught the attention of the People's Strategic Intelligence Service due to his craftiness and was given a position in the agency. Despite enjoying moderate success during the late years of Al’mari’s rule, Tyr'adrr rose to prominence after the President’s assassination. Leading several purges within the secret service, he was able to secure a promotion as the Headmaster after the previous head was arrested for suspicious behavior. Under Tyr’addr’s control, the PSIS became the feared terror machine it is today. Heavy investments in surveillance technology, the establishment of a robust web of informants, and the large-scale repression of political opponents greatly weakened the opposition in the People’s Republic. His supposed adventures during this period have spawned an entire "spy thriller" genre in the Republic.

After helping secure President Hadii's rule, Headmaster Harrdanim focused his efforts on fighting the Liberation Army and the New Kingdom. Ruthless anti-partisan campaigns were carried out under his supervision. The displacement of Chaniska’s native population, scorched-earth tactics in Northern Ras'nrr, and the creation of Try'urma Penitentiary were among some of his orders during the conflict. His actions during the Second Revolution earned him the reputation of being merciless and bloodthirsty. In spite of several assassination attempts, ALA agents failed to murder him and he continued his reign of terror unimposed.

Even after the Armistice, Headmaster Harrdanim continues to work tirelessly to undermine the enemies of the Republic. He has a large interest in securing the Tajara population living outside of Adhomai and is responsible for the PSIS presence in District Six. He is eager to suggest more authoritarian solutions and believes in increasing, even more, the state’s control over the population. Because of the role of the Strategic Service in the government, Tyr'adrr is one of the most powerful and hated Tajara in the People's Republic. While seemingly loyal to President Hadii, many in the Party fear where Tyr'adrr's ambition might lead him.

===Party Secretary Yakiv Hadii===

Yakiv Hadii was born in '''2412''' as the second cousin to President Hadii. While too young to take part in the First Revolution, Yakiv joined the Hadiist Party as soon as he could. During Njadrasanukii’s rule, he excelled as a bureaucrat due to his organizational skills. He managed the distribution of land and the establishment of communal farms during the Republican Agrarian reforms. Through a combination of political maneuvers and nepotism, he quickly climbed the Party's ranks. Yakiv sought to further the Republican relationship with NanoTrasen, seeking their support for the development of Adhomai. This stance caused him to lose Al’mari’s favor during the years leading to the Second Revolution. He was then demoted to an unimportant position in the Ministry of Agriculture.

Yakiv returned to prominence after Rhagrrhuzau’s assassination; he was seen as a way to link Malik’s rule to his now-deceased brother. Following the abolishment of the office of vice-president, Yakiv was promoted as the Party Secretary by Njadrasanukii. He became responsible for the internal organization and reviewing applications to the Party; he was quick to remove many of his political opponents from power using his new powers. Known as unquestionably loyal to President Hadii, he became infamous for being nothing but a yes man. He continued his policy of maintaining good relations with megacorporations, lobbying for more deals with NanoTrasen. Countless Tajara were given the opportunity to leave Adhomai due to his efforts, most sold as cheap labor while some others were able to acquire higher education. During the final stages of the war, he was one of the main proponents of the need for foreign intervention to save the People's Republic.

After the Armistice, Yakiv remained as Party Secretary. He is one of the closest advisors to President Hadii, helping Malik in matters related to internal and external affairs. Despite being an orthodox Hadiist, he is eager to push for changes to appease NanoTrasen and other foreign powers in an attempt to gain their support. Many within the Party see Yakiv as a power-hungry and untrustworthy politician, eager to abuse his power to reach what he wants. Others recognize him as a cunning politician with a rather dangerous influence over President Hadii.

===Minister of Defense Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar===

Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar was born into a Hharar peasant family in '''2428'''. He was raised around veterans of the first revolution and was always interested in their stories. Owing to the new opportunities brought by the People’s Republic, Irbaykhan enrolled in a military academy and joined the Grand People's Army as an officer. He survived the purges of the early Hadiist government because of his political reliability; as he was one of the first army leaders to support President Hadii during his ascension. This left him in the privileged situation of being one of the few properly trained officers at the dawn of the Nated’s coup.

Irbaykhan quickly climbed the ranks of the Republican Army during the Second Revolution. Making extensive use of artillery and motorized troops, he secured early victories that gave much-needed breathing room to the fragile Republic. While in command of the Dymtris Front in '''2456''', he pushed the New Kingdom into the defensive position that they would remain in until the very end of the war. Mirarkiizar’s final promotion during the conflict was to the theater commander of the Rass’nrr Military District. With the help of the alien allies of the Republic, he managed to recapture the main region of the continent. He was given a seat in the Ministry of Defense after the Armistice, working alongside the upper echelons of the Party to refine the Republic’s strategy.

Unlike most members of the Ministry of Defense, Irbaykhan has both political connections and practical experience in the field. This combination has made him one of President Hadii’s closest advisors in regard to military matters. Currently, he is responsible for the Hro'zamal campaign. Mirarkiizar sees the Grand People's Army as an essential component of the Hadiist state; the ever-vigilant guardian of the Republic against its enemies. The Minister believes that strict discipline and union towards a common goal is the best way to safeguard the future of the People’s Republic.

===Minister of Technology Zhuldyz Hadii===

Born in '''2420''' to the Hadii dynasty, Zhuldyz enjoyed the many privileges granted to her family. She grew up fascinated by the new technologies brought by human contact; she would spend hours tinkering and dismantling electronics during her childhood. Later she was sent to study in prestigious Solarian universities, where she ventured into the field of robotics. Zhuldyz returned to Adhomai in 2449 and was granted a post in the Ministry of Technology.

Using the knowledge acquired off-world, Zhuldyz drew plans with the objective of modernizing the Republic through a technological revolution. The rapid industrialization aided by mechatronics would bring prosperity to the Tajara. While many of her initial projects were abruptly interrupted by Rhagrrhuzau's assassination, she remained in her position due to being a member of the Hadii dynasty. The unstable early years of Njadrasanukii’s presidency were unfavorable towards her dreams; stopping Nated’s coup and the Royalist uprising were top priorities at the time. However, as the frontlines stagnated and a semblance of normalcy returned to the People’s Republic, Zhuldyz had the chance to convince President Hadii of her plans. Knowing that losing the war would put an end to her pursuits, she turned her genius to the military field. Victory could be achieved through technological superiority. She was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Hadii Institute of Orbital Research|Hadii Institute of Orbital Research]], the expansion of the [[Tajara_Space_Capability#PRA_Army_Wing|Orbital Fleet]], and the creation of the Tesla Brigade. Zhuldyz was promoted to the office of the Minister of Technology shortly before the Armistice.

The Adhomian Cold War became the perfect testing ground for Zhuldyz's projects. She sees the period of peace as an opportunity to turn the People's Republic into a technological powerhouse. Zhuldyz believes that the future of Hadiism lies in science and that the Republic must become advanced enough to subjugate its enemies. Minister Hadii is not interested in ethical or safe research; she is eager to pursue dangerous and questionable experiments. No price is too small to pay during the march of progress. President Hadii gave Zhuldyz near uncontested authority to lead the Ministry of Technology. She was the mind behind the creation of the first independent robotic factory on Adhomai.

===Secretary of the Navy Hura'zhi Mira'zkui===

Born in '''2422''' to an exiled line of minor nobility from the Zatushka Kingdom, Mira’zkui grew up in the chaos of the First Revolution as the armies of the Hadiist rebels marched across Adhomai. When the dust had settled, despite his personal wishes to enter the party itself, his family would convince him to uphold their old traditions and join the forming Republican Navy in '''2447'''. It was then that Mira’zkui met Dynhaas and joined the Oceanmasters Lounge.

During the chaos of Dynhaas’ defection in '''2450''', Mira’zkui narrowly avoided his own death. Informed early by a loyal lieutenant that his own crew was plotting to kill him, Mira’zkui fled in a lifeboat and watched as his fellow officers were thrown screaming from the decks of their own ships. A few days later, he was found on the shores of Ras’nrr. As the Republic fell into chaos, Mira’zkui returned to the Republican Navy as Secretary, entrusted by Malik Hadii to fight against the pirate flotillas of the ALA and the Royal Navy. However, Mira’zkui’s loyalty was not able to make up for his inexperience. While the last of the Liberation Army’s pirate vessels were sunk, he was unable to contend with the strength of the Royal Navy and unable to achieve his personal desire: Capturing or killing Dynhaas.

Post-War, Mira’zkui has largely become reclusive and withdrawn from the public eye. While he continues to try and develop the Republican navy, Mira’zkui is forced to contend with funding going towards the projects of the Orbital Navy and Grand People’s Army. With a relationship of mutual dislike between himself and Zhuldyz Hadii, many within the party believe that Mira’zkui will likely be replaced eventually. How he would react to being denied any chance for revenge against Dynhaas is something no one knows.

===Chief Naval Commander Samirro Qarrarhaz===

Born in Northern Ras’nrr in '''2407''', Samirro was the son of a loyal M'sai general in the Hadii Hegemony. Qarrarhaz's family raised and taught him to follow in his father’s footsteps. He would become an artillery officer in '''2428''', finding great success during combat against monarchist groups through using extensive shelling to force and flush out the enemy. By '''2431''' Qarrarhaz was moved into Southern Harr’masir to prepare for an invasion of the Kingdom of Kaltir. His artillery crews were among those who scoured the Kingdom following its surrender, shelling whatever villas, castles, and manors they had found. A staunch ally of Al’mari Hadii and his family, Qarrarhaz has always stood by the Hadii family and the republic they had later built.

While also providing training for future artillery commanders in the interwar period, Qarrarhaz became part of a committee formed by President Al’mari Hadii to plan and prepare a space fleet for the PRA. He, along with other committee members, traveled to the Coalition of Colonies' planets of Xanu Prime and Himeo to observe anti-piracy operations in order to better develop the PRA’s own future space warfare doctrine in '''2452'''. When the Orbital Fleet was completed by '''2457''', Qarrarhaz was appointed Chief Naval Commander by President Malik Hadii. Since then, he has won numerous victories against piracy, smugglers, and even bested a [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/?do=findComment&comment=114422 Sol cruiser].

Post-war, Qarrarhaz continues to lead his spaceships and Kosmostrelki in the defense of the PRA’s claimed space. Comfortable and experienced in his position, Qarrarhaz has begun to speak more on the future of the PRA’s ventures into space. Controversially, the Commander has stated that the PRA must eventually extend its hand to the numerous small colonies and off-worlder communities dotting the frontier around them. Arguing that Hadiism’s light must be spread beyond Tajara, it is his belief that the PRA must one day uplift these groups from their poverty and absorb them into the state.

===Minister of Education Kalim Khazdar===

Kalim Khazdar was born in '''2430''' to a family of Hharar foremen in the city of Tampiska. Deemed a bright child by his teachers, he was sent to study in Al'marii. Captivated by the tales of progress and prosperity brought by the interwar period, Kalim enrolled at the Al'marii College of Hadiist Sciences. He continued his studies intending to become a college teacher. During his time as a student, he became a good friend and protégé of the rector of the university, Mahir Hadii. His friendship with a member of the political dynasty opened many doors for him.

Kalim joined the Hadiist party during the Second Revolution. He later visited Tau Ceti to study the Adhomian community there; his experiences in District Six deeply affected his ideas. He saw all the social problems that those who lived under the megacorporation rule were subject to. Instead of losing faith in Hadiism, he started to believe that reforms were necessary to save the People's Republic; NanoTrasen should be a means to an end, not the end itself. Kalim returned to Adhomai in 2459 and became a college professor. Thanks to his connections, he soon got involved with the administration and politics of the university. His papers on the subject of Hadiist education were generally well-received by the academia.

With the Armistice of Shastar, Kalim Khazdar aligned himself to the Young Hadiist faction; his sympathy towards the movement was largely unknown to the Party. His ascension to the position of Minister of Education in 2463 was the result of a confidential deal between his mentor and President Hadii. Despite being considered a powerless and inexperienced politician by the other members of the Hadiist cabinet, Kalim is not to be underestimated. Cunning will be necessary to avoid the wrath of President Hadii and his lackeys. The path to a truly free People's Republic will be a long and difficult one.

===Yasmin Piaf===

[[File:Yasmin portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A piece of a poster, promoting Yasmin Piaf's concert, 2463.]]
Yasmina Burokov, aka Yasmin Piaf, was born in 2434 in the suburbs of Nal'tor to a particularly well-off Njarir'Akhran family. Yasmin's father, Boris Burokov was a low-ranking State department official and devout loyalist of the People's Republic. She spent her childhood being educated in the best State-run schools their family could afford and enjoyed relative wealth and prosperity far from the poorer outskirts of the city.

Even from a young age, Yasmin was interested in music. She was part of her school's choir and participated in several nationwide contests for the honor of singing for President Rhagrrhuzau Hadii. The all-female 'Band of Njarir Maidens' consisting of Yasmin and her classmates eventually won and sang for the President and other members of his cabinet at the end of the annual military parade held in Nal'tor. Eventually, she graduated and went on to the Academy of Musical Arts with a full scholarship.

Talent scouts pruning the burgeoning academy's student pool for the next starlet eventually discovered Yasmin during rehearsals for the school's upcoming musical, and she signed a tentative deal with the small publication Vostak Recordings. Her first record, simply titled The Man in Rouge, was released with minimal fanfare. Given that she had sung a small solo during her performance for the President, some Tajara recalled her name.

Yet her voice, described by some as angelic and innocent, found purchase with an aging generation of Tajara who wished a brief return to peaceful normalcy following the First Revolution. Her dedication to the traditional pop standard and recognition for torch songs eventually elevated her to the status of a household name, with her recording label releasing hit after hit. As a result, Yasmin Piaf has become one of the most famous singers in the modern era - one who has fostered a close relationship with State officials. She is one of the few artists who are approved to be played on State radio KGTW-11.

===Andrey Borisov===

Out of all the Tajara that one could argue embody loyalty to the People’s Republic, perhaps none are more memorable than Andrey Alexander Borisov. In the average Republican household, his name is just as common as President Hadii’s, owing to the fact that he is the face of State propaganda and news network RAFИ. Born in 2416 to a line of M’sai warriors, Andrey was not even two years old before humanity stumbled across Adhomai and lit the flame that ignited the First Revolution.

Andrey’s father and uncle were killed in the uprising, leaving him, his mother, and his sister alone to fend for themselves. His mother curried favor with the local rebel leader when their town fell to the onslaught of war; she became his concubine and, later, his wife. The ever-advancing front saw Andrey moved from home to home, where the young M’sai would often spend time talking to soldiers recovering after harsh fighting. They nourished a sense of patriotism in him, and eventually, he came to see the First Revolution as necessary for the future of the Tajara.

The war ended in 2432, when he was merely 16 years old. As the newly founded People’s Republic began the arduous transition from a movement to a government, Andrey’s connections with the upper echelon of PRA politicians bore fruit. He was taken on as a member of an officer’s general staff, headquartered in Nal’Tor, where he served as little more than a glorified secretary. His position put him in contact with the elite, however, and many found him charming and personable. His silver tongue earned him the interest of Dmitrys Marakov, the owner of the only State-approved television station at that point in time.

His ascension from lowly secretary to the major news anchor for RAFИ was one that involved plenty of political maneuvering, money - and, rumored by some, violence - but ultimately Andrey had proved his loyalty to the political elite of the People's Republic and he was rewarded with the honor of being their mouthpiece. As a result, no Tajara on Adhomai can go very long without seeing his smiling face on their television set, spinning the next story or cover-up at the behest of the State.

==Democratic People's Republic==

''"We are soldiers. We are fighters. We are war. We have forsaken the corrupt and decaying corpse of the xeno-loving People's Republic. We have left our homes and our families, but our cause is righteous. The suns are with us! The vile usurper of my friend and comrade Al'mari will have justice delivered to him! We will spill the blood of our enemies until our struggles are seen and heard, and we WILL retake OUR Republic!"

''- Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan, the day after the coup de tat began, 2451.''

===Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan===
[[File:Nateed portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A surprise picture of Nated, taken in 2458.]]
Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan was born in '''2404''' to a M'sai family under the service of the Hadii Dynasty. The son of a royal guard, Nated interacted with many Njarir children in his early life. He grew to resent their narcissism but was prepared to inherit his duty nonetheless. When the First Revolution ignited in '''2421''', Halkiikijr fought for the loyalists alongside the Hadii family. Becoming a battle-brother of Rhagrrhuzau Hadii, or better known as Al'Mari Hadii, Nated stood with the Hadii’s decision to abandon their royal roots and join the revolutionaries. When the war ended Al'Mari was sworn into office, Halkiikijr was made a Commander in Chief of the Republican Army in return for his service.

Al'Mari supposedly made promises of swearing-in Halkiikijr as the next president of the People's Republic once the political climate on Adhomai had stabilized. The legitimacy of this claim is not known, but what is known is that Al'Mari was assassinated during a military parade in '''2451''' and Njadrasanukii Hadii, vice president of the People's Republic, swore himself in as the successor of the presidency. Outraged at the assassination and accusing Njadrasanukii of treachery against the People’s Republic, Nated organized a coup against Malik. Bringing together military commanders dissatisfied with the new Hadiist policies, Halkiikijr created the Adhomai Liberation Army to dethrone the new President. He then took the title of Supreme Commander.

As the putsch attempt was thwarted by the Hadiist forces, Nated fled to Shastar City. The coup then turned into a full-blown civil war between the Liberation Army and the People’s Republic. Without off-world help, Nated called to arms anyone willing to support his cause. His movement became a unifying front to all kinds of elements opposing President Hadii; from democratic reformers to extremists fighting to free Adhomai from alien influence. For a decade, Halkiikijr led the Liberation Army as an effective opposing force against the People’s Republic and the New Kingdom. He favored the extensive use of irregular warfare coupled with the deployment of the army to secure decisive battles. A cult of personality formed around Halkiikijr; extremists claimed that he was a prophet sent by the Gods. The Supreme Commander took advantage of this belief to cultivate undying loyalty and fanaticism among his followers.

Believing that the territories under his control were ready for a democracy modeled after the Al'mariist principles, Nated's undisputed rule came to an end with the creation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai. Halkiikijr retired from his position as Supreme Commander to prevent a coup against the newly elected president. His retirement did not last long; he returned to power because of the Amohdan crisis in '''2462'''. Nated was given back the control of the Liberation Army and its remaining juntas to retake the Island of Amohda. After this display of weakness, Halkiikijr is unsure if the DPRA is truly ready to rule Adhomai. For him, the ALA is now more essential than before. Nated also faces infighting between his two right-hand men; commander Kahan and Kyff.

===Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad===

Kahan Hro'rammhad was born in '''2412''' to a Hharar family as their oldest children. A peasant from birth in the region of Southern Harr'masir, he was taught the traditional values of S'rendarr and Messa by his deeply religious parents. His childhood was cut short by the outbreak of the First Revolution; his family was expelled from their lands by the war. Thanks to its flat terrain, Southern Harr’masir saw the first deployment of armored vehicles in the conflict; trains, civilian cars, and trucks were outfitted for warfare by the rebels. Hro’rammhad joined the crew of an armored car as soon he turned 14 years old. Because of the high mortality among the revolutionaries, Kahan quickly found himself in the command of his own brigade. He became famous for his excellent use of the vehicles’ speed to encircle the enemy, and for his merciful nature. Monarchists soldiers were always given the chance of joining his side after capture. Hro’rammhad also forbade unnecessary executions and mistreatment of prisoners among his fighters.

Commander Kahan and his brigade were incorporated into the Hadiist faction shortly before the end of the First Revolution. As a member of the Republican Army, he was a major proponent of the transformation of the People’s Army into a motorized force. Tank brigades and motostrelki units were created under his supervision. Kahan funded the reconstruction of many temples destroyed during the revolution and frequently donated to charity through the interwar period. Hro’rammhad joined Nated’s coup due to his profound disagreement with Malik’s policies; he saw the oppression of the Zhan-Khazan as morally corrupt. Armored units that defected alongside him were organized into the Hro'rammhad Tank Corps under his command.

Hro'rammhad remained a merciful and pious Tajara through the Second Revolution. He rejected the notion of irregular warfare and continued to offer mercy to his enemies. As the leader of the main armored force in the Liberation Army, Kahan played an important role in decisive battles. This position allowed him to become a right-hand man for Nated. As part of his religiousness, Hro'rammhad considered the conflict to be a battle to protect the faith against the innate atheism of Hadiism. Religious imagery and motifs became common among his Tajara. The men under Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad are known to have the utmost respect for his bravery and mercy, most even going so far as to worship him as an embodiment of S'rendarr's justice. His success during the civil war earned him the nickname of “Undefeated Commander".

Despite the armistice, Commander Kahan remains as one of the second-in-command for Halkiikijr. He is an avid supporter of the transition to democracy, advocating for the dismantlement of the juntas. This position earned him many enemies among the more authoritarian elements within the Liberation Army. He is known to despise Commander Kyff Hotak for his tactics and personality. Both Tajara are currently engaged in an internal struggle to consolidate their influence over the Liberation Army.

===Commander Kyff Hotak===

Born in the year '''2406''' to a family of Zhan-Khazan miners in the Trizar, Kyff Hotak was supposedly destined to slave away for his Njarir master as his ancestors did for many generations. To avoid this fate, Hotak fled his home as a young Tajara. He ran into the wilderness until he found a bandit camp. Because of his age, the brigands decided to adopt Kyff as the group’s mascot. The boy grew up witnessing all kinds of crime and violence; later taking part in the band’s activity when old enough. The bandits sided with the rebels during the First Revolution in search of plunder. But their greed was their undoing; the criminals were massacred by the revolutionaries after they were discovered stealing rations. Hotak survived by being the one to report the activities of his previous comrades. As the war dragged on, Kyff became more bold and cruel in his revolutionary activities. He frequently engaged in assassinations, massacres, and false flag operations to crush the monarchists’ morale. Hotak was soon feared by his comrades and hated by his enemies. To him, everything was permissible to achieve victory. Impressed by the victories of the Hadii faction, he joined them as part of the early Ha'narr Corps.

The interwar period was fairly unremarkable for Kyff Hotak; he was given a low-ranking office position in the intelligence department. While Hotak advocated for the recreation of a force similar to the Mountain Ghost Corps, his request was ignored by the Hadiist high command. Memories of his excess in the First Revolution stopped Hotak from receiving any further promotions. He grew discontent with the People’s Republic, believing that he deserved more for his service. Seeing Nated's coup as an opportunity to rise to power, Kyff defected to the Liberation Army without hesitation.

Hotak organized his own unit of commando early into the war; a battalion trained in stealth operations. As a major proponent of irregular warfare, he also helped organize guerilla cells and coordinate terrorist attacks. The success of these groups granted him enough influence to become one of Nated's right-hand men. However, Commander Kyff quickly returned to his old ways; he started to wage a campaign of unrestrained terror. The presence of his soldiers became a harbinger of indiscriminate persecution, murder, excessive property requisition, and collective punishment against any community suspected of working with the enemy. Despite the protest of the civilian population and Commander Kahan, Halkiikijr refused to replace Kyff. Taking advantage of his reputation, Hotak ordered his Tajara to spread stories of him being the earthly manifestation of Messa's wrath. This tactic proved to be effective both among his enemies and allies.

Commander Kyff Hotak remains in service even after the armistice. Many within the army and the civilian administration desire to see Hotak punished for his war crimes, but Supreme Commander Nated continues to protect him. Kyff is a hardline supporter of the more authoritarian elements in the government and desires a strong centralized leadership above all else. He and Commander Hro'rammhad are rivals; both Tajara commonly fight each other over which direction the Liberation Army should go. Hotak is always accompanied by his pet [[Adhomai#Farwa (Tree-Hopper)|Farwa]], Ghiyath.

===President Almrah Harrlala===
[[File:harrlala portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the president during one of her speeches, done in 2461.]]
President Almrah Harrlala was born in '''2426''' to a family of Hharar factory workers in Shastar City. While her childhood was relatively unaffected by the First Revolution, she enjoyed many of the benefits brought by the People’s Republic during the interwar period. Being the first member of her household to receive a proper education, she became involved in the Party’s politics at a considerable young age. She believed that a stable democracy built upon the will of the people was the best path for Adhomai. She was also wary of the presence of megacorporations on the planet, considering their activities as harmful to the development of the Tajara species She campaigned for more worker’s rights and laws restricting corporation’s activities in the PRA. Almrah held a position within the Party until the ascension of President Njadrasanukii Hadii; he ordered the arrest of Harrlala due to her views.

Harrlala was held prisoner in Shastar during the first moments of the Civil war, only the capture of the city by the Liberation Army saved her from being transferred to another location. Hoping to continue her career in politics, she aligned herself with the rebels. Even if the despotic and extremist tendencies of the ALA worried Almrah, she held to Nated's promise of saving the Republic. She was given the position of Provisional Minister of Civil Rights when the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai was established.

As the Minister of Civil Rights, Almrah worked to protect the regional identities present in the DPRA. Her campaign to end military rule over the country while still upholding the principles of Al’mariism made her a popular figure among the moderate sectors of the population. Seeking to expand her political influence, she founded the National Adhomai Worker's Party. She was one of the candidates in the presidential elections of '''2460'''; she won the office of president by a narrow margin. President Harrlala’s ascension to power displeased the authoritarian wing of the Liberation Army, the military then planned a coup to restore their own rule. The putsch was stopped by the intervention of Supreme Commander Nated, who later resigned from his position to grant more powers to the civilian administration.

Following the Armistice, President Almrah Harrlala continued with her internal policies while maintaining a strong stance against foreign dominance. Under her rule, schools to preserve local cultures and languages were established, Gakal’zaal was liberated from the Unathi rule, and the DPRA developed its nuclear program. Her status as one of the first female rulers in modern Tajaran history has inspired many women to engage in DPRA politics. However, her regime is plagued with deep issues. The ghost of separatism lingers over the nation after the Amohdan attempt to secede. Her ability to reconcile the various factions in the government was severely doubted when she failed to draw a plan to handle the rebellious island. Since the return of Halkiikijr to power, the authoritarian elements see this as a moment of weakness in the young Republic. President Harrlala must be ready to face further opposition if she wants to see her vision of Adhomai come to life.

===Ex-interim President Brajrr Alnadruskiy===

Born in '''2423''' in the city of Mztel’mir, Brajjr Alnadruskiy was the youngest child of a family of brewers. He later joined the Republican Army at 17 years old, slowly climbed the ranks through diligent service to the military. Brajrr attributed the prosperity of interwar Adhomai to the strong leadership of President Al’mari; he believed that the Republic always needed a strongman in control to succeed. He severely doubted Malik’s competence because of his decision to undo his brother’s reform.

Brajrr finally rose to prominence with Nated's coup. Upon hearing of the revolution, he rallied the Liberation Army’s aligned troops in Das’nrra to assault Shastar. Alnadruskiy's attack was successful and he was named the Rrhaza-Akhran of the city. Shastar became the headquarter of the ALA, giving Brajrr a reasonable amount of influence within the army high command. He was known for his rigorous discipline and unforgiving nature. Many war prisoners were forced into labor by his orders. Brajrr was given the position of Interim President when the Democratic People’s Republic was created.

Alnadruskiy ran for president in the 2460 elections, seeking to centralize the nation and maintain the Army’s sway over the government. He founded the Free Tajaran People’s Party, gathering the most authoritarian elements in the Republic. After Almrah Harrlala’s victory by a narrow margin, he took part in the putsch against the newly elected president. Despite the defeat of the mutiny, Brajrr managed to convince Halkiikijr that he was forced by the extremists to join them. He was released and allowed to return to politics.

Ex-interim President Brajjr Alnadruskiy now leads the opposition to Harrlala’s regime. He continues to support a centralized state under the leadership of Supreme Commander Nated. Even when the successes of the current administration displease him, their latest crisis has given him enough to challenge Almrah. The return of Halkiikijr to the control of the Army is also considered a victory for him and his followers. Alnadruskiy awaits for the right moment of weakness to retake control of the DPRA.

===Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar===

The first and thus far only incident of weapons of mass destruction being employed on Adhomai happened in 2458, when the People’s Republic dropped a four-megaton nuclear bomb on the Liberation Army base in Quizosa. The death toll from the detonation was staggering, but the fallout from the bomb was carried on strong winds, leading to severe cases of radiation poisoning from the neighboring camps.

Tajara medical experience with radiation poisoning and the effects of nuclear bombs were practically non-existent. The only species in the galaxy that had the technology long before the Tajara were Xenos, and the Liberation Army did not have the luxury of free contact with extraplanetary forces. With the sick and dying mounting, a call for help was sent out to the surrounding territories. Many physicians and doctors made the long and difficult journey in the winter snows to help - at the forefront of them, Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar.

The effects of the bomb were catastrophic. Survivors were badly burned. Their fur fell out, never to grow back again - leaving them susceptible to Adhomai’s frigid temperatures. Their skin peeled off in sickly ribbons, hanging limply to the ground. Doctors were at a loss, with only a rudimentary understanding of what could have happened. Dr. Aleksandra took a sort of unofficial command of the medical effort, and coordinated efforts to assist the sick and dying.

Liberation-sympathetic Tajara, at her prodding, recovered as many documents as they could regarding the atom bomb from PRA-aligned holdings, downloading information from the extranet and thieving textbooks from high-security locations. Thanks to her ingenuity and leadership, the haphazard medical team of doctors saved a great many innocents from a slow, painful death - though they would have to live with the effects of the bomb for the rest of their lives. Dr. Aleksandra is widely known for her opposition to nuclear proliferation, due to her experiences, and has become the face of a growing anti-WMD movement across Ras’narr.

===Arzjun Haurjuhrl===

Rumors persist that Arzjun Haurjuhrl was sired out of wedlock, a result of an affair between a Zhan-Khazan mistress and a rebel leader. He was born in '''2427''' in the warmer regions near the city of Olska, and lived alone with his mother. He was scarcely a child when the war ended and the People’s Republic came to prominence. Both he and his mother suffered much in the way of discrimination - for being Zhan-Khazan as well as having a bastard child. This disconnect between what the People’s Republic promised and the way they were treated caused the young Arzjun to become disillusioned with the Republic.

He was further tested when his mother suddenly fell ill and died in the winter of 2445. With nothing left tying him down, abandoned as he had been by Adhomain society, he took what little funds they had been saving and paid a smuggler to carry him off-world. It took every penny but eventually, he found himself in Mendell City, carrying nothing but the clothes on his back. For a time, he lived on the streets, forced to beg to make ends meet. He soon found work at one of the shelters he had often stayed at. The community of Little Adhomai was more welcoming to him than the homeworld had been.

Deciding to pay back the kindness he received, he took part in many community outreach programs, including plays and dramas for the children of Little Adhomai. His passion for the arts as a medium of expression took root here, and his name rose to some prominence amongst the local Tajara population thanks to his charity work. He aspired to work on his own big picture and got his chance thanks to the collective donations of many Tajara. Wealthy Xenos also had an interest in seeing what the immigrant could do, though perhaps a few thought it would look good as a public relations move.

The script he wrote went through many revisions and sat for a good while before it was picked up by a studio. The community who had helped him before had done it once again; the surprise blockbuster When Summer Came to Nazira was one of the top ten highest-grossing films in Biesel history. Its anti-tyranny message was seen by some as an expression of the director’s own viewpoint on the People’s Republic. In some ways, they were correct - Arzjun is a quiet supporter of the DPRA, which has put him at odds with the Republican government. As a result, his film is banned from showing on Adhomai - though this has not stopped smuggled copies from being distributed amongst DPRA theaters.

==New Kingdom==

''"Loyal subjects, countrymen, brothers. It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that we must conscript from the provinces in order to maintain our fight in this war. However, you are not alone. Even as the new compulsory service legislature is passed, the aristocrats across the kingdom are likewise mobilized under a new service gentry system, so that all of the Kingdom is together in this struggle."''

''- King Vahzirathaamro Azunja, announcing the beginning of conscription and formalization of the service gentry in 2453.''

=== King Vahzirthaamro Azunja===

King Azunja was born in 2400 in the city of Kaltir to the noble Njarir’Akhran Azunja line. His father was Farkhanzirhal and his mother Dramahdarmah. Located in the far reaches of Kaltir, the Azunja family line was one of compassion and fair treatment, as only in unity and brotherhood could they hope to survive the harsh far reaches of Northern Adhomai. Their peasants were kept well and treated with dignity, and the nobles, while privileged, never indulged in cruelty. A noble paige since the age of 10, Vahzirthaamro excelled in reading and writing from an early age. He prepared to inherit the family throne as the sole son of his parents until the first civil war of Adhomai ignited in 2421.

When war broke out between the nobility and peasants, house Azunja was hesitant to pick sides, as they disagreed with the morals of both sides. Their distant position in the wild made them capable of ignoring the war until its end, as the Hadii family was placed at the head of Adhomai in 2432. Carrying the flags of the newly founded People's Republic of Adhomai, the Republic's army demanded the surrender of all nobility in Kaltir. The entire populace requested to be left in peace, as the peasantry and nobility there had never declared war on one another. Believing the peasants were utterly spineless and brainwashed, the People's Republic executed all current nobles ruthlessly, scattering the royalty of the region. Vahzirthaamro was placed in prison by his father's retinue of intellectuals, who declared he had to remain hidden amongst the lowest of the low if he wished to stay alive. From that moment on, Vahzirthaamro Azunja knew that peace was impossible so long as a compromise was not made, and a true constitutional monarchy was made the unanimous government on Adhomai.

Word passed amongst the Tajara at the work camps about the possibility that Vahzirthaamro still lived as many pre-war intellectuals gathered with him in private. They spun every possibility of a government, even discussing adopting human political systems as they gathered workers, fighters, poets, and philosophers to form an organized nation as they spread their ideas to the guards of the facility, a majority of which who were old peasants under the Azunja family who thought the entirety of the nobility had been executed. Delighted to see his return, they joined his side and swore allegiance to his family once more.

In 2449, in the middle of the night, Vahzirthaamro was released in secret along with the entirety of his retinue, as they quickly spread from town to town, asking for assistance from newly appointed officials and workers. Before long, the reminiscent families of the Kaltir region were happy to rejoin their flock. By 2450 his claim to rule had spread to all of Northern Harr'masir, and the New Kingdom of Adhomai officially seceded as an independent nation under the newly declared King Vahzirthaamro Azunja. He then led the Kingdom for the next decade, managing the balance between the different factions within the government and the ongoing war. Vahzirthaamro became a unifying figure for the population. After successfully securing Kaltir's ancient lands and negotiating the armistice that brought the end to the war, King Vahzirthaamro passed away in 2463. His niece, Shumaila Azunja, inherited his throne.

===Queen Shumaila Azunja===

[[File:Shumaila portrait.png|200px|thumb|right| A portrait done of Queen Shumaila Azunja, holding the ceremonial orr'bu s'rrendar, circa 2460.]]
Shumaila Azunja was born in 2431 in Northern Harr’smirr, as the daughter of one of the kingdom’s princes. She survived the Republican slaughter by being hidden away among the peasantry, raised in secret by individuals still loyal to the old ruling dynasty. From a young age, Shumaila began to participate in secretive royalist circles within Kaltir. Here, she began her service to the kingdom by helping distribute leaflets proclaiming the coming of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. When the uprising broke out in 2450, she joined the new Imperial Adhomian Army. Shumaila then rose through the officer ranks quickly, becoming a commander in the Jabrut Almumalik and establishing a name for herself on the front.

Many of those who served under Shumaila describe her as being a woman of unbreakable will, never faltering as casualties stacked or as barrages shattered the ground around her. Some even say she wouldn’t even blink at the sight of the PRA’s dreaded tanks rolling towards the lines. For her exploits in the war’s 2459 offensive and the defense of the Vlrralkhzazhul line, Shumaila came to be known as “The Storm of Harr’smir”, matching her iron will with a burning fury to destroy the kingdom’s enemies.

In 2460, after meeting with several prospective heirs, King Vahzirthaamro had chosen his niece Shumaila to serve as the Crown Heir. Although the majority supported this decision alongside most of Parliament and the nobility, a large fraction remained wary of the decision of a military leader over other options. However, this opposition has shrunk over the past few years. Shumaila remains strong on her position of expanding the military, but she has also spoken about increasing ties to the galaxy’s Megacorporations to modernize the New Kingdom. Nor has she made any comments regarding changing the democratic systems of Parliament and the Chamber. Coupled with her public appearances and active presence in the newspapers, many woes and worries of her ascension have been dissuaded.

Since entering the public eye in 2459, Shumaila enjoys much support from the women of Kaltir. Many look to her as an inspiration, buying “military” style jackets to emulate her look, given that Shumaila became one of the few Tajara women to lead a nation. However, this fame has also led to calls from the nobility and her family to choose a husband. Shumaila retains that her marriage comes after her coronation. She was finally crowned in 2463 after King Azunja passed away. Outside of continuing her uncle's legacy, her plans to the Kingdom are still unclear to the wide public
[[File:Marshal portrait.png|200px|thumb|left| A portrait of Field-Marshal Zarkradar'Akhan, circa 2420.]]
===Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan===

Rrhazhal was born in '2380 to the noble Njarir’Akhran Zarkradar'Akhan line, however, he was a legitimized bastard of a Zhan-Kazan maid. As the youngest of his brothers, Rrhazhal was sent into the service of the Azunja family as King Farkhanzirhal Azunja's servant at the age of 10. King Azunja noticed the young child had a talent for philosophy and strategy. The two had many intellectual discussions together as Rrhazhal quickly became a trusted advisor of King Farkhanzirhal by the time he was 20. At this time, King Azunja decided he trusted Rrhazhal with protecting the life of the newly born Vahzirthaamro. On the eve of the First Civil War, Rrhazhal was tasked with training the peasantry of Kaltir in order to defend their fiefdom and nobility against attackers. When Kaltir was annexed by the People's Republic of Adhomai in 2432, Farkhanzirhal frenziedly ordered Rrhazhal to hide Vahzirthaamro before People's Republic soldiers stormed the palace, killing almost everyone. From then on Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan personally accompanied Vahzirthaamro Azunja as his protector and chief advisor.

In 2450, once the New Kingdom had officially declared independence from the People's Republic of Adhomai, Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan was promoted to the rank of Field-Marshal personally by King Azunja, and today oversees all military operations inside of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Respected for his tactical skill but notorious for his radical belief that a compromise is not possible and a complete return to the old nobility is Adhomai's only option for peace, Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan is one of the oldest fighting nobles left on Adhomai.

===Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas===

Hailing from a royal cadet line and born in 2402, Dynhaas followed his father and brothers to join the Das’nrra Empire’s navy at a young age. When the First Revolution came, naval losses coupled with the rebel conquest of Das’nnra resulted in Dynhaas, the last man left of his line, surrendering and being imprisoned. With the war’s end in 2432, Dynhaas was offered a pardon by the Party in exchange for developing the Republican Navy. He would come to accept this over the alternative of death.

Accepting his defeat and believing that the age of nobility came to an end, Dynhaas came to view the Republican Navy as his new purpose in life. He worked to advance it alongside other pardoned nobles and founded the Oceanmasters Lounge, a private club within the naval officer corps. This path in life would change with the announcement of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Believing that a way to restore the old glory days of kingdoms laid with the NKA, Dynhaas began to plan a revolt. Partnering with other sympathetic admirals, he had the Republican Navy’s Grand Admiral and several other loyalists killed on a fateful night at the Shastar Naval Base before fleeing eastwards in 2450. In the same year that the New Kingdom was declared, Dynhaas delivered them the strongest naval force Adhomai had ever seen. King Azunja had declared him the Kingdom’s Grand Admiral shortly after meeting with Dynhaas in Miran’mir.

With the Republican Navy's command almost crippled and the ALA unable to compete with their dominance of the sea, Dynhaas used his fleets during the war to support and supply the Royal Army while helping smash the enemies of the New Kingdom. The artillery barrages of his ships were important in coastal battles during the NKA's offensives while their supremacy saved the Royal Marines from certain destruction following the failed Ras'nrr expedition. The prestige of his position made Dynhaas an instant celebrity in the NKA as well. Many propaganda reels and photos showed him as a majestic lord of the sea, something he capitalized on heavily to present himself as the very pinnacle of noble glory. Always well-groomed, well-dressed, and impeccable at talking despite whatever circumstances he was in, Dynhaas never passed the opportunity to host an interview. Most notable was Dynhaas' interview on his opinions of xenos of the S'rand’marr coalition, conducted on his capital vessel while it sieged Nal'tor in the final stages of the war. His statements on Unathi and Skrell were less than positive. After the expulsion of the People's Republic from Harr'masir in 2461, Admiral Mahtra infamously ordered the Royal Navy to engage in an unrestricted bombardment campaign of the eastern Hadiist coast. Cities and villages were targets of frequent naval artillery strikes; the battleships shelled military and civilian targets indiscriminately. The Navy infamously used incendiary shells during these attacks, causing entire neighborhoods to be engulfed in firestorms.

Post-war, Dynhaas went on several speaking tours in the first year of the armistice. Traveling from city to city, his public events were used to promote his upcoming biography and drew crowds in the tens of thousands. Politically, he maintains that the future of the NKA always lies within the navy, and that the industry of the New Kingdom must always retain a heavy focus on their shipyards. Dynhaas has also been vocal in his beliefs of a stronger monarch, often using the emergency powers King Azunja had as an example of the strong benefits that could come with such. He is yet to comment at all on his supposed rival, Mira'zkui, at all.

===Grand Duke Akym Yudenikh===

Born in the Das'nrra Empire to a noble family in 2412, Akym Yudenikh survived the First Revolution by escaping to Northern Harr'masir and hiding his identity. After the Hadiist occupation of the Kingdom of Kaltir, Yudenikh joined the People's Republic bureaucracy; he became responsible for the administration of the local rail system. Akym was infamous for his corruption; he frequently sold permits, disregarded contraband reports, and accepted bribes.

Because of his background, Akym was contacted by the underground royalist movement. He quickly became one of the main supporters of the group; he used his position within the Hadiist government to secure supplies and funding for the incoming uprising. Weapons, machinery, and ammunition were diverted to the Royalist cells. Akym was awarded the title of baron, a seat in the parliament, and some land confiscated from the People's Republic when Vahzirthaamro returned. However, his ambitions did not stop there. Using the money made from his time as a Republican bureaucracy, alongside whatever profit he could extract from his new holdings, Yudenikh continued to acquire more estate. Newly liberated farms were sold to him at a meager price thanks to his connections within the government. In a question of years, he became a Grand Duke and one of the major landowners of the New Kingdom. Akym controversially used prisoners of war as workers in his plantations during the Second Revolution as part of deals with the military.

Following the Armistice, Akym Yudenikh now leads the Royalist Party; his main mission is to maintain the status quo. The continuation of the constitutional monarchy and the privileges of the nobility align perfectly with his interests. He is one of the major supporters of further deals with megacorporations. Grand Duke Akym is not afraid to use his position to protect his interest in the parliament. Under his vision, prosperity for the New Kingdom means more power and wealth to its elite.

===Prince Serhiy Oliinyk===

Born as the third son to a family of Njarir'Akhran in 2434, Serhiy Oliinyk's life was profoundly affected by events over which he had no control. Raised in a household of avid royalists supporters, Serhiy was exposed to his parents' ideology since his youth. However, the boy had his reservations in regards to the possible return of the monarchy; he doubted that they could truly avoid the mistakes of the past. For his support during the uprising in Northern Harr'masir, the patriarchy of the Oliinyk family was given a seat in the parliament, a title of nobility, and a modest tract of land. Serhiy mistakenly believed that he could escape his bloodline's obligation thanks to his status as the third child. He already had a passion in his life: playing the P'rrama.

The war was cruel to the Oliinyk. Serhiy's brothers were killed while serving the army. This put him in an uneasy position as the heir of a parliamentary seat. The growing debt forced his father to sell whatever land they had left; the Oliinyk had officially joined the ranks of landless nobility. The final blow came in 2459 with the bombing of the Parliament; Serhiy inherited his progenitor's seat after his demise in the attack. The young musician was thrown into the midst of the New Kingdom's politics. Influenced by his social status and beliefs, he aligned himself to the Commoners Party.

If he is truly unable to escape his fate, Prince Serhiy decided to make the best out of it. Because of his age and a family full of martyrs, Serhiy became the Commoners Party's main spokesperson. Convincing the Queen to support the Populists will not be easy; the Conservatives and Absolutists are far more powerful and influential. A powerful strategy is necessary to guarantee the Commoners Party triumph in the parliament. Serhiy plans to retire from politics after the hereditary parliamentary positions are abolished and the Kingdom is fairer to its population. He hopes to return to his greatest passion: music.

===Count Tscherim Sanguszkho===

Hailing from a cadet house of the Rrhakaslov dynasty, Tscherim Sanguszkho was born in 2433 shortly after his family escaped to Kaltir to avoid the First Revolution's massacres. He was raised on a small farm frequented by disposed nobles and royalist sympathizers. Sheltered from the rest of Adhomai, he grew only knowing the world only through the nostalgic tales of pre-contact Njarir'Akhran, The Sanguszkho family was quick to offer their support to King Azunja when he returned; the Tscherim's father was given a seat in the parliament. Tscherim became a low-ranking officer in the army.

Tscherim Sanguszkho's military career came to an end in 2460 when he was gravely wounded in combat. Taking advantage of his pension and family's position, Tscherim spent the next years in gentlemen's clubs. In these places, he entered into contact with radical Absolute Royalists and became deeply interested in [[Tajaran Minor Religions#Ancient Tajara Theory|esoteric beliefs]]. Tscherim founded his organization in 2462: the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity. Drawing inspiration from the stories of an idealized pre-First Contact society, the ideology known as Revival Royalism was born from the Fraternity's meetings. Posing as a regular club, Tscherim was able to introduce other nobles to his ideals. Knowing that the task of enforcing the old order was not an easy one, Sanguszkho chose a common enemy to unite the kingdom against: the Tajara of mixed heritage.

Tscherim's plan came to fruition when his father died in a car accident in 2463; he inherited a landed title, a state, and a seat in the Parliament. Shortly after, the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity opened its membership to the public and made its intentions clear. Thanks to a deal with the Officers and Royal parties, the Fraternity became the fourth faction in the Parliament. Despite being the leader of the smallest Party, Count Tscherim has already begun to plot to slowly introduce his ideology into the New Kingdom.

===Ser Mrakhanjurl Ii'rka===

Mrakhanjurl was born in 2422 in a Zhan-Khazan family in a small village outside Olska. He received little education nor traveled far outside his village. As soon as he came of age at 16 he joined the rest of the village mining bauxite ore to be shipped to Olska to make aluminum. He eventually lost both parents to lung cancer from the mine's poor ventilation before he was 23. In 2452, when he was 29, he traveled with a dozen other Zhan-Khazan miners several miles to Olska to join a protest against the new legislation of President Hadii that was meant to crack down 'subversive elements' that many felt were unfair to Zhan-Khazan. The army was called in and brutally repressed the demonstration, which saw Mrakhanjurl narrowly escape with his life. He returned to his village to find that it had been torched by the republican army for housing subversive agitators.

Mrakhanjurl mourned the loss of his village and was picked up by rebel militia, who revealed that they had managed to provide early warning to the village and evacuate over a dozen people, but the army had managed to find and kill all but a handful of survivors. In gratitude for the rebels dying for his village, and to avenge the deaths, Mrakhanjurl joined the armed resistance that eventually joined itself under the New Kingdom of Adhomai. In a very short few years became a remarkable marksman, gaining the most recorded kills of any Tajara sniper. Current New Kingdom estimates put Mrakhanjurl's kill count at 285, 32 of those enemy PRA snipers.

Mrakhanjurl also managed to evacuate countless civilians from Republic territory to northern New Kingdom holdings. During the famous ''Rout of the 2nd Battalion'', in which New Kingdom defenders unsuccessfully attempted to prevent Republican forces from capturing Baltor, Mrakhanjurl assumed command of the 4th Company after both its leading officers had been killed by sniper fire. Despite a serious gunshot wound to the leg Mrakhanjurl began shouting orders and rallied the shattered defenders, who were the last line of defense between the advancing Republic forces and thousands of refugees attempting to flee the city. The ''Rally of the 4th Company'' on 2456 successfully managed to delay advancing Republic troops long enough for thousands of more refugees to escape into New Kingdom territory who would otherwise face atrocity.

For his bravery and growing fame (which was now considered too important to risk in the war effort), Mrakhanjurl was given the Order of the Victorious Sun, the highest honor in the New Kingdom, as well as being the first Zhan-Khazan in history to be given the noble rank of Ser. He remains a hero to the Zhan-Khazan and the New Kingdom.

===King of the Mountains Rustam Harmaliik===
[[File:harmaliik portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the king in his riding regalia, done in 2454.]]
Rustam Harmaliik was born in 2427 as the son of a deposed Njarir'Akhran noble family. He spent most of his youth in the rural region of Harr'masir, where he had contact with some groups of Rhazar'Hrujmagh that inhabited the region. As an adult, he found employment in law enforcement and was sent by the People’s Republic to support the efforts to settle the rock nomads of the Harr’masir region in 2448 as a Republican official.

While working alongside the authorities to make sure that the nomadic Zhan would accept and adopt a sedentary lifestyle, Rustam grew more interested in their culture and became skeptical of the Hadii’s regime and how they were treating the Rock Nomads. Unrest among the Rhazar'Hrujmagh soon followed, and Rustam would try to offer his support in any way possible, such as sabotaging equipment shipment or relaying misleading intelligence. The government soon realized his treason, forcing Rustam to abandon his post and escape into the wilderness.

Rustam found shelter among a caravan of the Rhazar'Hrujmagh, and soon adopted their way of life. Unrest and resistance continued among the rock nomads, and Harmaliik joined their struggle against the People’s Republic. With the New Kingdom’s rebellion, the control of the region waned and the Republican efforts shifted to other problems, which allowed the nomad resistance to blossom into guerrilla warfare. Rustam climbed the ranks of his caravan’s forces, winning prestige and favor by leading them against the Republican forces.

The second revolution happened, and the Rhazar'Hrujmagh resistance continued. Rustam assumed the leadership of his adopted caravan and aimed to acquire more support among the other Rock Nomads. Through the years of the conflict, he gathered more men and wagons under his command, through diplomacy or conquest, but limiting himself to defensive tactics, ambushes, and raids. The political stance of Harmaliik has always been one of neutrality in the conflict, never compromising fully with the Adhomai Liberation army, due to his Njarir’Akhran origins and monarchist sentiments, and never declaring any support to the New Kingdom, in fear of losing the trust of his fellow nomads,

Due to a republican offensive against the nomadic guerrillas in 2461, Rustam decided to declare himself the Almalik’Rhazar, a word roughly translated as "leader of the mountains", following an ancient nomadic tradition that allows the largely independent Rock Nomad caravans to elect a ruler among themselves. This decision alienated him from his ALA allies and the other nomads, forcing him to side with the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Harmaliik and his caravans have joined the kingdom war effort. He and his people were later granted the southeast territories of the New Kingdom for their support during the conflict.

===Brother Mikhail Ordau===
Little is known about Mikhail Oradu’s parentage. He was given to the Parivara at a very young age, left on the doorstep of Miran'mir's abbey. Thus the Family took him in as they do many small children, teaching him and educating him about S’rendarr and Messa. Mikhail was an accomplished writer for his age, but a speech impediment left him at a disadvantage when it came to oral presentations. The boy was known to be bookish, and spent much of his free time in the abbey’s library as well as its restricted section, thanks to his close friendship with the abbot.

He had an unusual interest in the sciences for a clergyman. As the Second Revolution loomed ahead, and whispers of splitting from the Republic crept into the local city, he busied himself with reading and tending to the monastery’s garden. Eventually, Miran’mir and all of northern Harr’masir split from the Republic to form the New Kingdom. With the war came plenty of hardship, and the Priests of S’rendarr did their best to help alleviate the tragedy amongst the peasants.

With little farmable land and a severe manpower disadvantage, the New Kingdom struggled to provide for its people. Starvation was a very real threat, and the abbey’s garden was not sufficient. A conflicted Mikhail turned once again to the abbey’s library and science for an answer; and, as though a miracle from the Suns themselves, one came. He discovered an ancient text detailing breeding methods for slaves, from long before the First Revolution. Suggestions on how to pass on desirable traits and mannerisms; to breed subservience. Controversial, but an unknowing descriptor of genetics and hereditary traits.

It was armed with this knowledge that Mikhail set about breeding new plants. Earthen roots, dirt berries, and more were cultivated for generations by Mikhail, aiming to pass on traits like hardiness and vitality. The plants became much more accustomed to growing in harsh conditions thanks to his work, and as the New Kingdom pushed back the Republicans and gained more territory, these hardier plants were easier to grow in the shell-shocked muddy battlefields. The threat of starvation became less and less pressing as more and more farms could deal with the way the war affected the terrain. For his efforts, Brother Mikhail was afforded a personal audience with the King.

===Oleg Al'Mor===
Born Oleg Murkov Al-Al’Mori in 2400, Oleg was a teenager when humanity stumbled upon the Tajara. His simple life of working and indentured servitude was suddenly upended with the influx of new ideals; he and his family, along with a contingent of other refugees of war avoided the conflicts erupting across the planet by staying in the mountains of Northern Harr’masir. To pass the time and keep themselves entertained, the telling of fireside epics became common. Oleg was noted to be imaginative with his tales even then, regaling other Tajara with stories of war and love.

Eventually, however, the nomadic hunter-gatherer life in the mountains could no longer support their numbers, and Oleg’s group descended from their hiding place. By this point, rebel armies had mostly taken hold of Kal’tir and the surrounding areas, giving Oleg relative freedom. When the war finally came to an end in 2432, Oleg was well known as a traveling bard and performer who earned his living using his creative skills entertaining war-weary soldiers and newly freed slaves. The stability that came with the formation of the People’s Republic afforded Oleg the opportunity to settle down in Kal’tir once again, where he took an interest in the local theater scene.

His first play, The Jester’s End, pioneered the form of black comedy and was a throwback to the days of servitude. Over the course of his career in Kal’tir, Oleg penned many more plays under his pseudonym Oleg Al’Mor, out of fear of inviting reprisals from the People’s Republic. Oleg’s plays were often scandalous or controversial for challenging the traditional morality held by Tajara. However, as time went on, his works became formulaic and much less shocking, and thus by extension more palatable to the average Tajara. Black comedy found a good home amongst the countless war veterans of the First Revolution.

Oleg considered himself an intellectual, and when the New Kingdom of Adhomai split from the People’s Republic he was an outspoken supporter. He and his family had experienced the benefits of the old ways, and with his considerable wealth from play royalties, he financed the New Kingdom with donations. Sadly, Oleg Al’Mor passed away in December of 2460 after completing his final work. The play, titled A Maiden’s Voyage, was particularly well-received, with even the King himself getting a private showing. Many of his works are still performed in theaters all over the New Kingdom’s territory.

==Others==

===Father Valyan K'rrirran===

''"From the stars, he saw Adhomai's cities and mountains become nothing more than specks. When he beheld the planet from far away, he realized that it was a small dot within this vast new galaxy. It was then he saw how truly special our homeland and our people are."''

''-Father Valyan K'rrirran, written as the ending to the prologue in his novel "An Introduction to The Twin Suns", 2430.''

Born in 2406 to a family of merchants in Dras’nrra, Valyan chose to join the faith at a young age, and became a fully-fledged Priest of S'rendarr in the midst of the First Revolution. It was during this time that Valyan had also become one of the first few Tajara to leave Adhomai. Settling on Xanu Prime in 2426 and remaining there until the war’s end in 2431, Valyan provided much of the first glimpses into the theology of the Tajara during this time. He, later on, returned home after publishing his novel written in Tau Ceti Basic on the history of the S’rendarr and Messa. Following the Second Revolution, he had replaced Walid Al’qat as The Father of the Parivara after Al’qat died of heart failure. Since gaining his position in 2462 the new Father has already demonstrated to Adhomai that he is able to rise to the task of leading the Parivara. Alongside his archivers, he had revealed misinterpretations in the vows of the Suns Sisters and amended the Vow of Silence to the original Vow of Whispers.

The Father has kept this momentum of progress going forward. In the same year, he began to assist with several archeological digs across Adhomai to gather more information on not just the history of the Suns faith, but also of the Tajara people. Much of this collection is digitalized and shared through a newly developed site (Simply dubbed “Parivara and Tajara History.pra”.) made by an influx of well-educated acolytes. Now, any curious Tajara or alien can find a trove of information on the Parivara and new details on the species’ history. This mix of preserving old traditions alongside progressing aspects of the church has made Valyan popular among the younger generations of Tajara, kindling their interest in the faith.

However, Valyan is not free of controversy. Some conspiracy theorists believe that he could have had a hand in the death of the previous Father, citing the lack of provided medical care and the quick selection of Valyan as the new Father. Others point to his connection to the revitalized Kin of S’rendarr and believe him to be funding the Kin, supplying them with off-world equipment and arms to continue their war against whoever is deemed the faith’s enemy. Nonetheless, these are regarded as little more than baseless rumors by much of the population.

===Rikdar Al'Manq===

Rikdar was born on '''2429''' the noble Njarir’Akhran Bayan line in Nal'Tor, with Bayan being his birth name. However, his parents were disappeared by Republic secret police in one of the frequent purges of Njarir’Akhran and he was put into state-run foster care. He has raised in the ''House Of Young Patriots'' orphanage until he was adopted at 14 to Hharar parents and took their last name of Al'Manq. As he was going to school his parents and teachers immediately took notice of his artistic abilities and interest in painting, which the orphanage had initially tried to discourage. In 2446, when he was 18, Rikdar won an art contest where he submitted a portrait of his Environmental Geology teacher and gained a prestigious scholarship in the Nal'Tor University of The Arts, a state-funded institution.

Rikdar attended the university for several years, though his studies were sometimes interrupted or delayed by the periodic waves of anti-Njarir’Akhran demonstrations and violence that gripped the campus. However, he quickly became a prodigy amongst his peers. Al'Manq's style of oil painting and doing portraits became a sensation in the capital, with the mayor and several city officials requesting their portraits done. Rikdar graduated from university at 20 years old in '''2450''' with a Bachelor of Arts. Having already received several high-profile commissions, including the then-President Al'Mari Hadii, whose portrait was done a week before his death. Al'Manq managed to survive the resulting chaos across Adhomai following the assassination of Al'Mari Hadii by the nature of his celebrity status, but his popularity remains confined within the major cities.

At only 29 years old in '''2458''' the ''Al'Manq Style'' has already become a famous style of painting across Adhomai. The Al'Manq Style is noted for its use of rich oil-based paint that focuses on portraits and profiles. The colors are often bold or show rich texture and color. The hands of Tajara are painted without being anatomically correct. Critics blast Al'Manq's apparent inability to draw hands correctly but Rikdar has stated that it's his personal style. This has influenced other artists, and many attempting to pay homage to Al'Manq draw hands as stubby. Rikdar remains extremely popular on Adhomai. The People's Republic remains a quiet supporter of his work, and state officials pay him handsome commissions for their portraits to be done, though they frown on him taking commissions from New Kingdom officials as well. The Adhomai Liberation Army has painted Rikdar as just another nobleman and several members of the Liberation Army have given open contempt for his work.

===Bloodstorm===

Bloodstorm is a famous and infamous DPRA Heavy Metal Band that has surged in popularity with the younger “denier” generation. Those in this generation are categorized by their refusal of modern Tajara convictions but also human influences, instead of turning to their roots.

====Vargir Stenovich “Godslayer”====

The lead guitarist of the group, Vargir Stenovich is known as the spokesperson of the band and the most controversial figures. Admitting to being a Raskara cultist in public and calling out the Parivara on their “bedding with the government”. Vargir has been involved in numerous scandals including protesting military parades, playing one of his songs next to a work camp without permission, and lastly ingesting drugs on live television and proceeding to slander the ALA for bombing the NKA parliament.
[[File:Al-Atil.png|200px|thumb|right|Photo of Al-Atil at the Mztel'Mir concert, "War Is Fuck, Let's Do It", circa 2459.]]

====Janos Al-Lung “Drowner”====

Janos is the bassist of Bloodstorm and the only band member without a criminal record. He has frequently butted heads with Stenovich over the political extremities the band goes through to discredit not only PRA and NKA but also DPRA.

====Al-Atil Csihar “Nightmaster”====

The vocalist, Al-Atil, is known for his “mrowl”, a high, long, yelp that is recorded as the loudest sound produced by a Tajara. He loves to interact with the public and often stays behind on the podium to sign autographs and fans, the latter of which he uses black spray paint.

====Cecil Kernov “Bloodletter”====

Cecil is the Drummer and has the longest time served behind bars. Kernov has his nickname for a reason as he’s been charged with armed assault. He had brutally assaulted a fan who had climbed on stage with a drum, getting it stuck on said Tajara’s head and pushing him off the stage with a dropkick.

====The Mist “Mih”====

A yet unknown band member by the public, “Mih” remains anonymous always wearing a mask in public and never speaking. He plays the P'rrama, an old Tajara string instrument, with 8 strings mirrored in a long horn-like pipe that extends to the ground which emits a loud, brass twanging noise described as an over-amped guitar.

'''Most Notable Albums Include:'''

The Freezing Blizzard - An early, traditional album, mediocre without the employment of the P'rrama.

War Is Fuck, Let's Do It - The core most popular album drawing similarities between war and love.

If Messa Was Here She'd Be a Whore - First anti-Parivara album created, criticizing their ignorance towards women and discrimination of female priests.

We Live in a Society - WLiaS describes pure hatred of every single faction present not even sparing Sol or Tau Ceti.

Shell In, Spine Out - Another anti-war album, describing the life of a dying soldier.

S'rrendar Loves You Except He Doesn't - Repeated hatred of Parivara, slander, and is famous for having a recording of Cecil attacking a fan with the drum.

If You're Old You Should Die - Scolding critique of the old leading system and a call for the younger generation to disregard the politicians and tear it all down.

[[Tajara|Tajaran]] history and society has a long list of notable individuals and heroes that are known across [[Adhomai]].

==People's Republic==

''"Comrades, in this struggle we fight to protect the progress we have fought so hard to make in the preceding decades. Our march forever onwards for a Hadiist society must not be stopped by the usurpers who would see us become a brutish military dictatorship, nor those fetid imperialists who would restore the atrocities of the old ways."''

''- President Njadrasanukii Hadii, in a televised address to the people in 2452.''
===President Njadrasanukii Hadii===

[[File:Hadii portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the president, done in 2460.]]
Njadrasanukii Hadii, also known as Malik Hadii, was born in '''2402''' to the noble Njarir'Akhran Hadii line. His mother was Rajjurl Hadii, and his father Tajrhalrr Hadii. He got involved with the military at an early age, becoming a cadet for the Royal Navy at 16 and achieving a commission as a Lieutenant-Commander at 22, and leading his own destroyer as a Captain at 29. During the revolution, he briefly fought for the loyalists but was recalled to the Hadii Citadel to help defend his family's ancestral home. Following the revolution and the Hadii's rise in the new Federal Republic, Njadrasanukii was given the office of Vice-President under his brother Al'Mari Hadii.

Malik assumed the presidency in '''2451''' after the assassination of Al'mari. He continued his brother's early agenda of collaborating with NanoTrasen and other galactic powers. Njadrasanukii purged any suspicious elements from his administration after the Nated's coup, consolidating his power through the imprisonment and execution of anyone that threatened his regime. Further authoritarian measures were established by him; the expansion of the secret police, the rapid industrialization of the PRA, and further persecution against those who did not conform to his policies. Under Malik Hadii's control, the current form of Hadiism took shape; an ideology focused on the creation of a monolithic Tajaran culture under the unquestionable guidance of the Hadii political line. The office of the president had its powers largely expanded under his rule, allowing Njadrasanukii to control all aspects of the People's Republic government. Total loyalty to Njadrasanukii is expected from all Party members.

A state-endorsed cult of personality has been established around President Hadii. Through a robust propaganda system, republican citizens are informed daily about Malik's achievements and how only through his guidance the Republican can prosper. Portraits of President Hadii can be found in most Hadiist homes and government buildings. Njadrasanukii is known for his speeches praising his own administration and the bravery of his people; his voice can be heard frequently on the radio. While many admire him as a strong leader, others fear his ruthless ways of dealing with the opposition.

President Hadii is famous for his extreme paranoia. Very few high-ranking members of the Party have direct access to him and little is known about his private life. He is constantly surrounded by hand-picked members of the secret service; those bodyguards are always under the risk of being purged for any reason. It is rumored that he has survived more than three hundred assassination attempts.

Despite the outcome of the Second revolution, Njadrasanukii continues to rule the People's Republic with an iron grip. He did not give up his plans of reestablishing Hadiist hegemony over Adhomai.
[[File:headmaster portrait.png|200px|thumb|left|A rare picture of the camera shy Tyr'adrr, taken during the closure of an illegal protest, dated to 2459.]]
===Headmaster Harrrdanim Tyr'adrr===

Harrrdanim was born in '''2425''' to a M'sai family serving the Hadii during the First Revolution. Wishing to follow in the footsteps of his parents, he joined the Hadiist Party at a young age. He soon caught the attention of the People's Strategic Intelligence Service due to his craftiness and was given a position in the agency. Despite enjoying moderate success during the late years of Al’mari’s rule, Tyr'adrr rose to prominence after the President’s assassination. Leading several purges within the secret service, he was able to secure a promotion as the Headmaster after the previous head was arrested for suspicious behavior. Under Tyr’addr’s control, the PSIS became the feared terror machine it is today. Heavy investments in surveillance technology, the establishment of a robust web of informants, and the large-scale repression of political opponents greatly weakened the opposition in the People’s Republic. His supposed adventures during this period have spawned an entire "spy thriller" genre in the Republic.

After helping secure President Hadii's rule, Headmaster Harrdanim focused his efforts on fighting the Liberation Army and the New Kingdom. Ruthless anti-partisan campaigns were carried out under his supervision. The displacement of Chaniska’s native population, scorched-earth tactics in Northern Ras'nrr, and the creation of Try'urma Penitentiary were among some of his orders during the conflict. His actions during the Second Revolution earned him the reputation of being merciless and bloodthirsty. In spite of several assassination attempts, ALA agents failed to murder him and he continued his reign of terror unimposed.

Even after the Armistice, Headmaster Harrdanim continues to work tirelessly to undermine the enemies of the Republic. He has a large interest in securing the Tajara population living outside of Adhomai and is responsible for the PSIS presence in District Six. He is eager to suggest more authoritarian solutions and believes in increasing, even more, the state’s control over the population. Because of the role of the Strategic Service in the government, Tyr'adrr is one of the most powerful and hated Tajara in the People's Republic. While seemingly loyal to President Hadii, many in the Party fear where Tyr'adrr's ambition might lead him.

===Party Secretary Yakiv Hadii===

Yakiv Hadii was born in '''2412''' as the second cousin to President Hadii. While too young to take part in the First Revolution, Yakiv joined the Hadiist Party as soon as he could. During Njadrasanukii’s rule, he excelled as a bureaucrat due to his organizational skills. He managed the distribution of land and the establishment of communal farms during the Republican Agrarian reforms. Through a combination of political maneuvers and nepotism, he quickly climbed the Party's ranks. Yakiv sought to further the Republican relationship with NanoTrasen, seeking their support for the development of Adhomai. This stance caused him to lose Al’mari’s favor during the years leading to the Second Revolution. He was then demoted to an unimportant position in the Ministry of Agriculture.

Yakiv returned to prominence after Rhagrrhuzau’s assassination; he was seen as a way to link Malik’s rule to his now-deceased brother. Following the abolishment of the office of vice-president, Yakiv was promoted as the Party Secretary by Njadrasanukii. He became responsible for the internal organization and reviewing applications to the Party; he was quick to remove many of his political opponents from power using his new powers. Known as unquestionably loyal to President Hadii, he became infamous for being nothing but a yes man. He continued his policy of maintaining good relations with megacorporations, lobbying for more deals with NanoTrasen. Countless Tajara were given the opportunity to leave Adhomai due to his efforts, most sold as cheap labor while some others were able to acquire higher education. During the final stages of the war, he was one of the main proponents of the need for foreign intervention to save the People's Republic.

After the Armistice, Yakiv remained as Party Secretary. He is one of the closest advisors to President Hadii, helping Malik in matters related to internal and external affairs. Despite being an orthodox Hadiist, he is eager to push for changes to appease NanoTrasen and other foreign powers in an attempt to gain their support. Many within the Party see Yakiv as a power-hungry and untrustworthy politician, eager to abuse his power to reach what he wants. Others recognize him as a cunning politician with a rather dangerous influence over President Hadii.

===Minister of Defense Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar===

Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar was born into a Hharar peasant family in '''2428'''. He was raised around veterans of the first revolution and was always interested in their stories. Owing to the new opportunities brought by the People’s Republic, Irbaykhan enrolled in a military academy and joined the Grand People's Army as an officer. He survived the purges of the early Hadiist government because of his political reliability; as he was one of the first army leaders to support President Hadii during his ascension. This left him in the privileged situation of being one of the few properly trained officers at the dawn of the Nated’s coup.

Irbaykhan quickly climbed the ranks of the Republican Army during the Second Revolution. Making extensive use of artillery and motorized troops, he secured early victories that gave much-needed breathing room to the fragile Republic. While in command of the Dymtris Front in '''2456''', he pushed the New Kingdom into the defensive position that they would remain in until the very end of the war. Mirarkiizar’s final promotion during the conflict was to the theater commander of the Rass’nrr Military District. With the help of the alien allies of the Republic, he managed to recapture the main region of the continent. He was given a seat in the Ministry of Defense after the Armistice, working alongside the upper echelons of the Party to refine the Republic’s strategy.

Unlike most members of the Ministry of Defense, Irbaykhan has both political connections and practical experience in the field. This combination has made him one of President Hadii’s closest advisors in regard to military matters. Currently, he is responsible for the Hro'zamal campaign. Mirarkiizar sees the Grand People's Army as an essential component of the Hadiist state; the ever-vigilant guardian of the Republic against its enemies. The Minister believes that strict discipline and union towards a common goal is the best way to safeguard the future of the People’s Republic.

===Minister of Technology Zhuldyz Hadii===

Born in '''2420''' to the Hadii dynasty, Zhuldyz enjoyed the many privileges granted to her family. She grew up fascinated by the new technologies brought by human contact; she would spend hours tinkering and dismantling electronics during her childhood. Later she was sent to study in prestigious Solarian universities, where she ventured into the field of robotics. Zhuldyz returned to Adhomai in 2449 and was granted a post in the Ministry of Technology.

Using the knowledge acquired off-world, Zhuldyz drew plans with the objective of modernizing the Republic through a technological revolution. The rapid industrialization aided by mechatronics would bring prosperity to the Tajara. While many of her initial projects were abruptly interrupted by Rhagrrhuzau's assassination, she remained in her position due to being a member of the Hadii dynasty. The unstable early years of Njadrasanukii’s presidency were unfavorable towards her dreams; stopping Nated’s coup and the Royalist uprising were top priorities at the time. However, as the frontlines stagnated and a semblance of normalcy returned to the People’s Republic, Zhuldyz had the chance to convince President Hadii of her plans. Knowing that losing the war would put an end to her pursuits, she turned her genius to the military field. Victory could be achieved through technological superiority. She was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Hadii Institute of Orbital Research|Hadii Institute of Orbital Research]], the expansion of the [[Tajara_Space_Capability#PRA_Army_Wing|Orbital Fleet]], and the creation of the Tesla Brigade. Zhuldyz was promoted to the office of the Minister of Technology shortly before the Armistice.

The Adhomian Cold War became the perfect testing ground for Zhuldyz's projects. She sees the period of peace as an opportunity to turn the People's Republic into a technological powerhouse. Zhuldyz believes that the future of Hadiism lies in science and that the Republic must become advanced enough to subjugate its enemies. Minister Hadii is not interested in ethical or safe research; she is eager to pursue dangerous and questionable experiments. No price is too small to pay during the march of progress. President Hadii gave Zhuldyz near uncontested authority to lead the Ministry of Technology. She was the mind behind the creation of the first independent robotic factory on Adhomai.

===Secretary of the Navy Hura'zhi Mira'zkui===

Born in '''2422''' to an exiled line of minor nobility from the Zatushka Kingdom, Mira’zkui grew up in the chaos of the First Revolution as the armies of the Hadiist rebels marched across Adhomai. When the dust had settled, despite his personal wishes to enter the party itself, his family would convince him to uphold their old traditions and join the forming Republican Navy in '''2447'''. It was then that Mira’zkui met Dynhaas and joined the Oceanmasters Lounge.

During the chaos of Dynhaas’ defection in '''2450''', Mira’zkui narrowly avoided his own death. Informed early by a loyal lieutenant that his own crew was plotting to kill him, Mira’zkui fled in a lifeboat and watched as his fellow officers were thrown screaming from the decks of their own ships. A few days later, he was found on the shores of Ras’nrr. As the Republic fell into chaos, Mira’zkui returned to the Republican Navy as Secretary, entrusted by Malik Hadii to fight against the pirate flotillas of the ALA and the Royal Navy. However, Mira’zkui’s loyalty was not able to make up for his inexperience. While the last of the Liberation Army’s pirate vessels were sunk, he was unable to contend with the strength of the Royal Navy and unable to achieve his personal desire: Capturing or killing Dynhaas.

Post-War, Mira’zkui has largely become reclusive and withdrawn from the public eye. While he continues to try and develop the Republican navy, Mira’zkui is forced to contend with funding going towards the projects of the Orbital Navy and Grand People’s Army. With a relationship of mutual dislike between himself and Zhuldyz Hadii, many within the party believe that Mira’zkui will likely be replaced eventually. How he would react to being denied any chance for revenge against Dynhaas is something no one knows.

===Chief Naval Commander Samirro Qarrarhaz===

Born in Northern Ras’nrr in '''2407''', Samirro was the son of a loyal M'sai general in the Hadii Hegemony. Qarrarhaz's family raised and taught him to follow in his father’s footsteps. He would become an artillery officer in '''2428''', finding great success during combat against monarchist groups through using extensive shelling to force and flush out the enemy. By '''2431''' Qarrarhaz was moved into Southern Harr’masir to prepare for an invasion of the Kingdom of Kaltir. His artillery crews were among those who scoured the Kingdom following its surrender, shelling whatever villas, castles, and manors they had found. A staunch ally of Al’mari Hadii and his family, Qarrarhaz has always stood by the Hadii family and the republic they had later built.

While also providing training for future artillery commanders in the interwar period, Qarrarhaz became part of a committee formed by President Al’mari Hadii to plan and prepare a space fleet for the PRA. He, along with other committee members, traveled to the Coalition of Colonies' planets of Xanu Prime and Himeo to observe anti-piracy operations in order to better develop the PRA’s own future space warfare doctrine in '''2452'''. When the Orbital Fleet was completed by '''2457''', Qarrarhaz was appointed Chief Naval Commander by President Malik Hadii. Since then, he has won numerous victories against piracy, smugglers, and even bested a [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/?do=findComment&comment=114422 Sol cruiser].

Post-war, Qarrarhaz continues to lead his spaceships and Kosmostrelki in the defense of the PRA’s claimed space. Comfortable and experienced in his position, Qarrarhaz has begun to speak more on the future of the PRA’s ventures into space. Controversially, the Commander has stated that the PRA must eventually extend its hand to the numerous small colonies and off-worlder communities dotting the frontier around them. Arguing that Hadiism’s light must be spread beyond Tajara, it is his belief that the PRA must one day uplift these groups from their poverty and absorb them into the state.

===Minister of Education Kalim Khazdar===

Kalim Khazdar was born in '''2430''' to a family of Hharar foremen in the city of Tampiska. Deemed a bright child by his teachers, he was sent to study in Al'marii. Captivated by the tales of progress and prosperity brought by the interwar period, Kalim enrolled at the Al'marii College of Hadiist Sciences. He continued his studies intending to become a college teacher. During his time as a student, he became a good friend and protégé of the rector of the university, Mahir Hadii. His friendship with a member of the political dynasty opened many doors for him.

Kalim joined the Hadiist party during the Second Revolution. He later visited Tau Ceti to study the Adhomian community there; his experiences in District Six deeply affected his ideas. He saw all the social problems that those who lived under the megacorporation rule were subject to. Instead of losing faith in Hadiism, he started to believe that reforms were necessary to save the People's Republic; NanoTrasen should be a means to an end, not the end itself. Kalim returned to Adhomai in 2459 and became a college professor. Thanks to his connections, he soon got involved with the administration and politics of the university. His papers on the subject of Hadiist education were generally well-received by the academia.

With the Armistice of Shastar, Kalim Khazdar aligned himself to the Young Hadiist faction; his sympathy towards the movement was largely unknown to the Party. His ascension to the position of Minister of Education in 2463 was the result of a confidential deal between his mentor and President Hadii. Despite being considered a powerless and inexperienced politician by the other members of the Hadiist cabinet, Kalim is not to be underestimated. Cunning will be necessary to avoid the wrath of President Hadii and his lackeys. The path to a truly free People's Republic will be a long and difficult one.

===Yasmin Piaf===

[[File:Yasmin portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A piece of a poster, promoting Yasmin Piaf's concernt, 2463.]]
Yasmina Burokov, aka Yasmin Piaf, was born in 2434 in the suburbs of Nal'tor to a particularly well-off Njarir'Akhran family. Yasmin's father, Boris Burokov was a low-ranking State department official and devout loyalist of the People's Republic. She spent her childhood being educated in the best State-run schools their family could afford and enjoyed relative wealth and prosperity far from the poorer outskirts of the city.

Even from a young age, Yasmin was interested in music. She was part of her school's choir and participated in several nationwide contests for the honor of singing for President Rhagrrhuzau Hadii. The all-female 'Band of Njarir Maidens' consisting of Yasmin and her classmates eventually won and sang for the President and other members of his cabinet at the end of the annual military parade held in Nal'tor. Eventually, she graduated and went on to the Academy of Musical Arts with a full scholarship.

Talent scouts pruning the burgeoning academy's student pool for the next starlet eventually discovered Yasmin during rehearsals for the school's upcoming musical, and she signed a tentative deal with the small publication Vostak Recordings. Her first record, simply titled The Man in Rouge, was released with minimal fanfare. Given that she had sung a small solo during her performance for the President, some Tajara recalled her name.

Yet her voice, described by some as angelic and innocent, found purchase with an aging generation of Tajara who wished a brief return to peaceful normalcy following the First Revolution. Her dedication to the traditional pop standard and recognition for torch songs eventually elevated her to the status of a household name, with her recording label releasing hit after hit. As a result, Yasmin Piaf has become one of the most famous singers in the modern era - one who has fostered a close relationship with State officials. She is one of the few artists who are approved to be played on State radio KGTW-11.

===Andrey Borisov===

Out of all the Tajara that one could argue embody loyalty to the People’s Republic, perhaps none are more memorable than Andrey Alexander Borisov. In the average Republican household, his name is just as common as President Hadii’s, owing to the fact that he is the face of State propaganda and news network RAFИ. Born in 2416 to a line of M’sai warriors, Andrey was not even two years old before humanity stumbled across Adhomai and lit the flame that ignited the First Revolution.

Andrey’s father and uncle were killed in the uprising, leaving him, his mother, and his sister alone to fend for themselves. His mother curried favor with the local rebel leader when their town fell to the onslaught of war; she became his concubine and, later, his wife. The ever-advancing front saw Andrey moved from home to home, where the young M’sai would often spend time talking to soldiers recovering after harsh fighting. They nourished a sense of patriotism in him, and eventually, he came to see the First Revolution as necessary for the future of the Tajara.

The war ended in 2432, when he was merely 16 years old. As the newly founded People’s Republic began the arduous transition from a movement to a government, Andrey’s connections with the upper echelon of PRA politicians bore fruit. He was taken on as a member of an officer’s general staff, headquartered in Nal’Tor, where he served as little more than a glorified secretary. His position put him in contact with the elite, however, and many found him charming and personable. His silver tongue earned him the interest of Dmitrys Marakov, the owner of the only State-approved television station at that point in time.

His ascension from lowly secretary to the major news anchor for RAFИ was one that involved plenty of political maneuvering, money - and, rumored by some, violence - but ultimately Andrey had proved his loyalty to the political elite of the People's Republic and he was rewarded with the honor of being their mouthpiece. As a result, no Tajara on Adhomai can go very long without seeing his smiling face on their television set, spinning the next story or cover-up at the behest of the State.

==Democratic People's Republic==

''"We are soldiers. We are fighters. We are war. We have forsaken the corrupt and decaying corpse of the xeno-loving People's Republic. We have left our homes and our families, but our cause is righteous. The suns are with us! The vile usurper of my friend and comrade Al'mari will have justice delivered to him! We will spill the blood of our enemies until our struggles are seen and heard, and we WILL retake OUR Republic!"

''- Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan, the day after the coup de tat began, 2451.''

===Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan===
[[File:Nateed portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A surprise picture of Nated, taken in 2458.]]
Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan was born in '''2404''' to a M'sai family under the service of the Hadii Dynasty. The son of a royal guard, Nated interacted with many Njarir children in his early life. He grew to resent their narcissism but was prepared to inherit his duty nonetheless. When the First Revolution ignited in '''2421''', Halkiikijr fought for the loyalists alongside the Hadii family. Becoming a battle-brother of Rhagrrhuzau Hadii, or better known as Al'Mari Hadii, Nated stood with the Hadii’s decision to abandon their royal roots and join the revolutionaries. When the war ended Al'Mari was sworn into office, Halkiikijr was made a Commander in Chief of the Republican Army in return for his service.

Al'Mari supposedly made promises of swearing-in Halkiikijr as the next president of the People's Republic once the political climate on Adhomai had stabilized. The legitimacy of this claim is not known, but what is known is that Al'Mari was assassinated during a military parade in '''2451''' and Njadrasanukii Hadii, vice president of the People's Republic, swore himself in as the successor of the presidency. Outraged at the assassination and accusing Njadrasanukii of treachery against the People’s Republic, Nated organized a coup against Malik. Bringing together military commanders dissatisfied with the new Hadiist policies, Halkiikijr created the Adhomai Liberation Army to dethrone the new President. He then took the title of Supreme Commander.

As the putsch attempt was thwarted by the Hadiist forces, Nated fled to Shastar City. The coup then turned into a full-blown civil war between the Liberation Army and the People’s Republic. Without off-world help, Nated called to arms anyone willing to support his cause. His movement became a unifying front to all kinds of elements opposing President Hadii; from democratic reformers to extremists fighting to free Adhomai from alien influence. For a decade, Halkiikijr led the Liberation Army as an effective opposing force against the People’s Republic and the New Kingdom. He favored the extensive use of irregular warfare coupled with the deployment of the army to secure decisive battles. A cult of personality formed around Halkiikijr; extremists claimed that he was a prophet sent by the Gods. The Supreme Commander took advantage of this belief to cultivate undying loyalty and fanaticism among his followers.

Believing that the territories under his control were ready for a democracy modeled after the Al'mariist principles, Nated's undisputed rule came to an end with the creation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai. Halkiikijr retired from his position as Supreme Commander to prevent a coup against the newly elected president. His retirement did not last long; he returned to power because of the Amohdan crisis in '''2462'''. Nated was given back the control of the Liberation Army and its remaining juntas to retake the Island of Amohda. After this display of weakness, Halkiikijr is unsure if the DPRA is truly ready to rule Adhomai. For him, the ALA is now more essential than before. Nated also faces infighting between his two right-hand men; commander Kahan and Kyff.

===Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad===

Kahan Hro'rammhad was born in '''2412''' to a Hharar family as their oldest children. A peasant from birth in the region of Southern Harr'masir, he was taught the traditional values of S'rendarr and Messa by his deeply religious parents. His childhood was cut short by the outbreak of the First Revolution; his family was expelled from their lands by the war. Thanks to its flat terrain, Southern Harr’masir saw the first deployment of armored vehicles in the conflict; trains, civilian cars, and trucks were outfitted for warfare by the rebels. Hro’rammhad joined the crew of an armored car as soon he turned 14 years old. Because of the high mortality among the revolutionaries, Kahan quickly found himself in the command of his own brigade. He became famous for his excellent use of the vehicles’ speed to encircle the enemy, and for his merciful nature. Monarchists soldiers were always given the chance of joining his side after capture. Hro’rammhad also forbade unnecessary executions and mistreatment of prisoners among his fighters.

Commander Kahan and his brigade were incorporated into the Hadiist faction shortly before the end of the First Revolution. As a member of the Republican Army, he was a major proponent of the transformation of the People’s Army into a motorized force. Tank brigades and motostrelki units were created under his supervision. Kahan funded the reconstruction of many temples destroyed during the revolution and frequently donated to charity through the interwar period. Hro’rammhad joined Nated’s coup due to his profound disagreement with Malik’s policies; he saw the oppression of the Zhan-Khazan as morally corrupt. Armored units that defected alongside him were organized into the Hro'rammhad Tank Corps under his command.

Hro'rammhad remained a merciful and pious Tajara through the Second Revolution. He rejected the notion of irregular warfare and continued to offer mercy to his enemies. As the leader of the main armored force in the Liberation Army, Kahan played an important role in decisive battles. This position allowed him to become a right-hand man for Nated. As part of his religiousness, Hro'rammhad considered the conflict to be a battle to protect the faith against the innate atheism of Hadiism. Religious imagery and motifs became common among his Tajara. The men under Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad are known to have the utmost respect for his bravery and mercy, most even going so far as to worship him as an embodiment of S'rendarr's justice. His success during the civil war earned him the nickname of “Undefeated Commander".

Despite the armistice, Commander Kahan remains as one of the second-in-command for Halkiikijr. He is an avid supporter of the transition to democracy, advocating for the dismantlement of the juntas. This position earned him many enemies among the more authoritarian elements within the Liberation Army. He is known to despise Commander Kyff Hotak for his tactics and personality. Both Tajara are currently engaged in an internal struggle to consolidate their influence over the Liberation Army.

===Commander Kyff Hotak===

Born in the year '''2406''' to a family of Zhan-Khazan miners in the Trizar, Kyff Hotak was supposedly destined to slave away for his Njarir master as his ancestors did for many generations. To avoid this fate, Hotak fled his home as a young Tajara. He ran into the wilderness until he found a bandit camp. Because of his age, the brigands decided to adopt Kyff as the group’s mascot. The boy grew up witnessing all kinds of crime and violence; later taking part in the band’s activity when old enough. The bandits sided with the rebels during the First Revolution in search of plunder. But their greed was their undoing; the criminals were massacred by the revolutionaries after they were discovered stealing rations. Hotak survived by being the one to report the activities of his previous comrades. As the war dragged on, Kyff became more bold and cruel in his revolutionary activities. He frequently engaged in assassinations, massacres, and false flag operations to crush the monarchists’ morale. Hotak was soon feared by his comrades and hated by his enemies. To him, everything was permissible to achieve victory. Impressed by the victories of the Hadii faction, he joined them as part of the early Ha'narr Corps.

The interwar period was fairly unremarkable for Kyff Hotak; he was given a low-ranking office position in the intelligence department. While Hotak advocated for the recreation of a force similar to the Mountain Ghost Corps, his request was ignored by the Hadiist high command. Memories of his excess in the First Revolution stopped Hotak from receiving any further promotions. He grew discontent with the People’s Republic, believing that he deserved more for his service. Seeing Nated's coup as an opportunity to rise to power, Kyff defected to the Liberation Army without hesitation.

Hotak organized his own unit of commando early into the war; a battalion trained in stealth operations. As a major proponent of irregular warfare, he also helped organize guerilla cells and coordinate terrorist attacks. The success of these groups granted him enough influence to become one of Nated's right-hand men. However, Commander Kyff quickly returned to his old ways; he started to wage a campaign of unrestrained terror. The presence of his soldiers became a harbinger of indiscriminate persecution, murder, excessive property requisition, and collective punishment against any community suspected of working with the enemy. Despite the protest of the civilian population and Commander Kahan, Halkiikijr refused to replace Kyff. Taking advantage of his reputation, Hotak ordered his Tajara to spread stories of him being the earthly manifestation of Messa's wrath. This tactic proved to be effective both among his enemies and allies.

Commander Kyff Hotak remains in service even after the armistice. Many within the army and the civilian administration desire to see Hotak punished for his war crimes, but Supreme Commander Nated continues to protect him. Kyff is a hardline supporter of the more authoritarian elements in the government and desires a strong centralized leadership above all else. He and Commander Hro'rammhad are rivals; both Tajara commonly fight each other over which direction the Liberation Army should go. Hotak is always accompanied by his pet [[Adhomai#Farwa (Tree-Hopper)|Farwa]], Ghiyath.

===President Almrah Harrlala===
[[File:harrlala portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the president during one of her speeches, done in 2461.]]
President Almrah Harrlala was born in '''2426''' to a family of Hharar factory workers in Shastar City. While her childhood was relatively unaffected by the First Revolution, she enjoyed many of the benefits brought by the People’s Republic during the interwar period. Being the first member of her household to receive a proper education, she became involved in the Party’s politics at a considerable young age. She believed that a stable democracy built upon the will of the people was the best path for Adhomai. She was also wary of the presence of megacorporations on the planet, considering their activities as harmful to the development of the Tajara species She campaigned for more worker’s rights and laws restricting corporation’s activities in the PRA. Almrah held a position within the Party until the ascension of President Njadrasanukii Hadii; he ordered the arrest of Harrlala due to her views.

Harrlala was held prisoner in Shastar during the first moments of the Civil war, only the capture of the city by the Liberation Army saved her from being transferred to another location. Hoping to continue her career in politics, she aligned herself with the rebels. Even if the despotic and extremist tendencies of the ALA worried Almrah, she held to Nated's promise of saving the Republic. She was given the position of Provisional Minister of Civil Rights when the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai was established.

As the Minister of Civil Rights, Almrah worked to protect the regional identities present in the DPRA. Her campaign to end military rule over the country while still upholding the principles of Al’mariism made her a popular figure among the moderate sectors of the population. Seeking to expand her political influence, she founded the National Adhomai Worker's Party. She was one of the candidates in the presidential elections of '''2460'''; she won the office of president by a narrow margin. President Harrlala’s ascension to power displeased the authoritarian wing of the Liberation Army, the military then planned a coup to restore their own rule. The putsch was stopped by the intervention of Supreme Commander Nated, who later resigned from his position to grant more powers to the civilian administration.

Following the Armistice, President Almrah Harrlala continued with her internal policies while maintaining a strong stance against foreign dominance. Under her rule, schools to preserve local cultures and languages were established, Gakal’zaal was liberated from the Unathi rule, and the DPRA developed its nuclear program. Her status as one of the first female rulers in modern Tajaran history has inspired many women to engage in DPRA politics. However, her regime is plagued with deep issues. The ghost of separatism lingers over the nation after the Amohdan attempt to secede. Her ability to reconcile the various factions in the government was severely doubted when she failed to draw a plan to handle the rebellious island. Since the return of Halkiikijr to power, the authoritarian elements see this as a moment of weakness in the young Republic. President Harrlala must be ready to face further opposition if she wants to see her vision of Adhomai come to life.

===Ex-interim President Brajrr Alnadruskiy===

Born in '''2423''' in the city of Mztel’mir, Brajjr Alnadruskiy was the youngest child of a family of brewers. He later joined the Republican Army at 17 years old, slowly climbed the ranks through diligent service to the military. Brajrr attributed the prosperity of interwar Adhomai to the strong leadership of President Al’mari; he believed that the Republic always needed a strongman in control to succeed. He severely doubted Malik’s competence because of his decision to undo his brother’s reform.

Brajrr finally rose to prominence with Nated's coup. Upon hearing of the revolution, he rallied the Liberation Army’s aligned troops in Das’nrra to assault Shastar. Alnadruskiy's attack was successful and he was named the Rrhaza-Akhran of the city. Shastar became the headquarter of the ALA, giving Brajrr a reasonable amount of influence within the army high command. He was known for his rigorous discipline and unforgiving nature. Many war prisoners were forced into labor by his orders. Brajrr was given the position of Interim President when the Democratic People’s Republic was created.

Alnadruskiy ran for president in the 2460 elections, seeking to centralize the nation and maintain the Army’s sway over the government. He founded the Free Tajaran People’s Party, gathering the most authoritarian elements in the Republic. After Almrah Harrlala’s victory by a narrow margin, he took part in the putsch against the newly elected president. Despite the defeat of the mutiny, Brajrr managed to convince Halkiikijr that he was forced by the extremists to join them. He was released and allowed to return to politics.

Ex-interim President Brajjr Alnadruskiy now leads the opposition to Harrlala’s regime. He continues to support a centralized state under the leadership of Supreme Commander Nated. Even when the successes of the current administration displease him, their latest crisis has given him enough to challenge Almrah. The return of Halkiikijr to the control of the Army is also considered a victory for him and his followers. Alnadruskiy awaits for the right moment of weakness to retake control of the DPRA.

===Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar===

The first and thus far only incident of weapons of mass destruction being employed on Adhomai happened in 2458, when the People’s Republic dropped a four-megaton nuclear bomb on the Liberation Army base in Quizosa. The death toll from the detonation was staggering, but the fallout from the bomb was carried on strong winds, leading to severe cases of radiation poisoning from the neighboring camps.

Tajara medical experience with radiation poisoning and the effects of nuclear bombs were practically non-existent. The only species in the galaxy that had the technology long before the Tajara were Xenos, and the Liberation Army did not have the luxury of free contact with extraplanetary forces. With the sick and dying mounting, a call for help was sent out to the surrounding territories. Many physicians and doctors made the long and difficult journey in the winter snows to help - at the forefront of them, Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar.

The effects of the bomb were catastrophic. Survivors were badly burned. Their fur fell out, never to grow back again - leaving them susceptible to Adhomai’s frigid temperatures. Their skin peeled off in sickly ribbons, hanging limply to the ground. Doctors were at a loss, with only a rudimentary understanding of what could have happened. Dr. Aleksandra took a sort of unofficial command of the medical effort, and coordinated efforts to assist the sick and dying.

Liberation-sympathetic Tajara, at her prodding, recovered as many documents as they could regarding the atom bomb from PRA-aligned holdings, downloading information from the extranet and thieving textbooks from high-security locations. Thanks to her ingenuity and leadership, the haphazard medical team of doctors saved a great many innocents from a slow, painful death - though they would have to live with the effects of the bomb for the rest of their lives. Dr. Aleksandra is widely known for her opposition to nuclear proliferation, due to her experiences, and has become the face of a growing anti-WMD movement across Ras’narr.

===Arzjun Haurjuhrl===

Rumors persist that Arzjun Haurjuhrl was sired out of wedlock, a result of an affair between a Zhan-Khazan mistress and a rebel leader. He was born in '''2427''' in the warmer regions near the city of Olska, and lived alone with his mother. He was scarcely a child when the war ended and the People’s Republic came to prominence. Both he and his mother suffered much in the way of discrimination - for being Zhan-Khazan as well as having a bastard child. This disconnect between what the People’s Republic promised and the way they were treated caused the young Arzjun to become disillusioned with the Republic.

He was further tested when his mother suddenly fell ill and died in the winter of 2445. With nothing left tying him down, abandoned as he had been by Adhomain society, he took what little funds they had been saving and paid a smuggler to carry him off-world. It took every penny but eventually, he found himself in Mendell City, carrying nothing but the clothes on his back. For a time, he lived on the streets, forced to beg to make ends meet. He soon found work at one of the shelters he had often stayed at. The community of Little Adhomai was more welcoming to him than the homeworld had been.

Deciding to pay back the kindness he received, he took part in many community outreach programs, including plays and dramas for the children of Little Adhomai. His passion for the arts as a medium of expression took root here, and his name rose to some prominence amongst the local Tajara population thanks to his charity work. He aspired to work on his own big picture and got his chance thanks to the collective donations of many Tajara. Wealthy Xenos also had an interest in seeing what the immigrant could do, though perhaps a few thought it would look good as a public relations move.

The script he wrote went through many revisions and sat for a good while before it was picked up by a studio. The community who had helped him before had done it once again; the surprise blockbuster When Summer Came to Nazira was one of the top ten highest-grossing films in Biesel history. Its anti-tyranny message was seen by some as an expression of the director’s own viewpoint on the People’s Republic. In some ways, they were correct - Arzjun is a quiet supporter of the DPRA, which has put him at odds with the Republican government. As a result, his film is banned from showing on Adhomai - though this has not stopped smuggled copies from being distributed amongst DPRA theaters.

==New Kingdom==

''"Loyal subjects, countrymen, brothers. It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that we must conscript from the provinces in order to maintain our fight in this war. However, you are not alone. Even as the new compulsory service legislature is passed, the aristocrats across the kingdom are likewise mobilized under a new service gentry system, so that all of the Kingdom is together in this struggle."''

''- King Vahzirathaamro Azunja, announcing the beginning of conscription and formalization of the service gentry in 2453.''

=== King Vahzirthaamro Azunja===

King Azunja was born in 2400 in the city of Kaltir to the noble Njarir’Akhran Azunja line. His father was Farkhanzirhal and his mother Dramahdarmah. Located in the far reaches of Kaltir, the Azunja family line was one of compassion and fair treatment, as only in unity and brotherhood could they hope to survive the harsh far reaches of Northern Adhomai. Their peasants were kept well and treated with dignity, and the nobles, while privileged, never indulged in cruelty. A noble paige since the age of 10, Vahzirthaamro excelled in reading and writing from an early age. He prepared to inherit the family throne as the sole son of his parents until the first civil war of Adhomai ignited in 2421.

When war broke out between the nobility and peasants, house Azunja was hesitant to pick sides, as they disagreed with the morals of both sides. Their distant position in the wild made them capable of ignoring the war until its end, as the Hadii family was placed at the head of Adhomai in 2432. Carrying the flags of the newly founded People's Republic of Adhomai, the Republic's army demanded the surrender of all nobility in Kaltir. The entire populace requested to be left in peace, as the peasantry and nobility there had never declared war on one another. Believing the peasants were utterly spineless and brainwashed, the People's Republic executed all current nobles ruthlessly, scattering the royalty of the region. Vahzirthaamro was placed in prison by his father's retinue of intellectuals, who declared he had to remain hidden amongst the lowest of the low if he wished to stay alive. From that moment on, Vahzirthaamro Azunja knew that peace was impossible so long as a compromise was not made, and a true constitutional monarchy was made the unanimous government on Adhomai.

Word passed amongst the Tajara at the work camps about the possibility that Vahzirthaamro still lived as many pre-war intellectuals gathered with him in private. They spun every possibility of a government, even discussing adopting human political systems as they gathered workers, fighters, poets, and philosophers to form an organized nation as they spread their ideas to the guards of the facility, a majority of which who were old peasants under the Azunja family who thought the entirety of the nobility had been executed. Delighted to see his return, they joined his side and swore allegiance to his family once more.

In 2449, in the middle of the night, Vahzirthaamro was released in secret along with the entirety of his retinue, as they quickly spread from town to town, asking for assistance from newly appointed officials and workers. Before long, the reminiscent families of the Kaltir region were happy to rejoin their flock. By 2450 his claim to rule had spread to all of Northern Harr'masir, and the New Kingdom of Adhomai officially seceded as an independent nation under the newly declared King Vahzirthaamro Azunja. He then led the Kingdom for the next decade, managing the balance between the different factions within the government and the ongoing war. Vahzirthaamro became a unifying figure for the population. After successfully securing Kaltir's ancient lands and negotiating the armistice that brought the end to the war, King Vahzirthaamro passed away in 2463. His niece, Shumaila Azunja, inherited his throne.

===Queen Shumaila Azunja===

[[File:Shumaila portrait.png|200px|thumb|right| A portrait done of Queen Shumaila Azunja, holding the ceremonial orr'bu s'rrendar, circa 2460.]]
Shumaila Azunja was born in 2431 in Northern Harr’smirr, as the daughter of one of the kingdom’s princes. She survived the Republican slaughter by being hidden away among the peasantry, raised in secret by individuals still loyal to the old ruling dynasty. From a young age, Shumaila began to participate in secretive royalist circles within Kaltir. Here, she began her service to the kingdom by helping distribute leaflets proclaiming the coming of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. When the uprising broke out in 2450, she joined the new Imperial Adhomian Army. Shumaila then rose through the officer ranks quickly, becoming a commander in the Jabrut Almumalik and establishing a name for herself on the front.

Many of those who served under Shumaila describe her as being a woman of unbreakable will, never faltering as casualties stacked or as barrages shattered the ground around her. Some even say she wouldn’t even blink at the sight of the PRA’s dreaded tanks rolling towards the lines. For her exploits in the war’s 2459 offensive and the defense of the Vlrralkhzazhul line, Shumaila came to be known as “The Storm of Harr’smir”, matching her iron will with a burning fury to destroy the kingdom’s enemies.

In 2460, after meeting with several prospective heirs, King Vahzirthaamro had chosen his niece Shumaila to serve as the Crown Heir. Although the majority supported this decision alongside most of Parliament and the nobility, a large fraction remained wary of the decision of a military leader over other options. However, this opposition has shrunk over the past few years. Shumaila remains strong on her position of expanding the military, but she has also spoken about increasing ties to the galaxy’s Megacorporations to modernize the New Kingdom. Nor has she made any comments regarding changing the democratic systems of Parliament and the Chamber. Coupled with her public appearances and active presence in the newspapers, many woes and worries of her ascension have been dissuaded.

Since entering the public eye in 2459, Shumaila enjoys much support from the women of Kaltir. Many look to her as an inspiration, buying “military” style jackets to emulate her look, given that Shumaila became one of the few Tajara women to lead a nation. However, this fame has also led to calls from the nobility and her family to choose a husband. Shumaila retains that her marriage comes after her coronation. She was finally crowned in 2463 after King Azunja passed away. Outside of continuing her uncle's legacy, her plans to the Kingdom are still unclear to the wide public
[[File:Marshal portrait.png|200px|thumb|left| A portrait of Field-Marshal Zarkradar'Akhan, circa 2420.]]
===Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan===

Rrhazhal was born in '2380 to the noble Njarir’Akhran Zarkradar'Akhan line, however, he was a legitimized bastard of a Zhan-Kazan maid. As the youngest of his brothers, Rrhazhal was sent into the service of the Azunja family as King Farkhanzirhal Azunja's servant at the age of 10. King Azunja noticed the young child had a talent for philosophy and strategy. The two had many intellectual discussions together as Rrhazhal quickly became a trusted advisor of King Farkhanzirhal by the time he was 20. At this time, King Azunja decided he trusted Rrhazhal with protecting the life of the newly born Vahzirthaamro. On the eve of the First Civil War, Rrhazhal was tasked with training the peasantry of Kaltir in order to defend their fiefdom and nobility against attackers. When Kaltir was annexed by the People's Republic of Adhomai in 2432, Farkhanzirhal frenziedly ordered Rrhazhal to hide Vahzirthaamro before People's Republic soldiers stormed the palace, killing almost everyone. From then on Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan personally accompanied Vahzirthaamro Azunja as his protector and chief advisor.

In 2450, once the New Kingdom had officially declared independence from the People's Republic of Adhomai, Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan was promoted to the rank of Field-Marshal personally by King Azunja, and today oversees all military operations inside of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Respected for his tactical skill but notorious for his radical belief that a compromise is not possible and a complete return to the old nobility is Adhomai's only option for peace, Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan is one of the oldest fighting nobles left on Adhomai.

===Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas===

Hailing from a royal cadet line and born in 2402, Dynhaas followed his father and brothers to join the Das’nrra Empire’s navy at a young age. When the First Revolution came, naval losses coupled with the rebel conquest of Das’nnra resulted in Dynhaas, the last man left of his line, surrendering and being imprisoned. With the war’s end in 2432, Dynhaas was offered a pardon by the Party in exchange for developing the Republican Navy. He would come to accept this over the alternative of death.

Accepting his defeat and believing that the age of nobility came to an end, Dynhaas came to view the Republican Navy as his new purpose in life. He worked to advance it alongside other pardoned nobles and founded the Oceanmasters Lounge, a private club within the naval officer corps. This path in life would change with the announcement of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Believing that a way to restore the old glory days of kingdoms laid with the NKA, Dynhaas began to plan a revolt. Partnering with other sympathetic admirals, he had the Republican Navy’s Grand Admiral and several other loyalists killed on a fateful night at the Shastar Naval Base before fleeing eastwards in 2450. In the same year that the New Kingdom was declared, Dynhaas delivered them the strongest naval force Adhomai had ever seen. King Azunja had declared him the Kingdom’s Grand Admiral shortly after meeting with Dynhaas in Miran’mir.

With the Republican Navy's command almost crippled and the ALA unable to compete with their dominance of the sea, Dynhaas used his fleets during the war to support and supply the Royal Army while helping smash the enemies of the New Kingdom. The artillery barrages of his ships were important in coastal battles during the NKA's offensives while their supremacy saved the Royal Marines from certain destruction following the failed Ras'nrr expedition. The prestige of his position made Dynhaas an instant celebrity in the NKA as well. Many propaganda reels and photos showed him as a majestic lord of the sea, something he capitalized on heavily to present himself as the very pinnacle of noble glory. Always well-groomed, well-dressed, and impeccable at talking despite whatever circumstances he was in, Dynhaas never passed the opportunity to host an interview. Most notable was Dynhaas' interview on his opinions of xenos of the S'rand’marr coalition, conducted on his capital vessel while it sieged Nal'tor in the final stages of the war. His statements on Unathi and Skrell were less than positive. After the expulsion of the People's Republic from Harr'masir in 2461, Admiral Mahtra infamously ordered the Royal Navy to engage in an unrestricted bombardment campaign of the eastern Hadiist coast. Cities and villages were targets of frequent naval artillery strikes; the battleships shelled military and civilian targets indiscriminately. The Navy infamously used incendiary shells during these attacks, causing entire neighborhoods to be engulfed in firestorms.

Post-war, Dynhaas went on several speaking tours in the first year of the armistice. Traveling from city to city, his public events were used to promote his upcoming biography and drew crowds in the tens of thousands. Politically, he maintains that the future of the NKA always lies within the navy, and that the industry of the New Kingdom must always retain a heavy focus on their shipyards. Dynhaas has also been vocal in his beliefs of a stronger monarch, often using the emergency powers King Azunja had as an example of the strong benefits that could come with such. He is yet to comment at all on his supposed rival, Mira'zkui, at all.

===Grand Duke Akym Yudenikh===

Born in the Das'nrra Empire to a noble family in 2412, Akym Yudenikh survived the First Revolution by escaping to Northern Harr'masir and hiding his identity. After the Hadiist occupation of the Kingdom of Kaltir, Yudenikh joined the People's Republic bureaucracy; he became responsible for the administration of the local rail system. Akym was infamous for his corruption; he frequently sold permits, disregarded contraband reports, and accepted bribes.

Because of his background, Akym was contacted by the underground royalist movement. He quickly became one of the main supporters of the group; he used his position within the Hadiist government to secure supplies and funding for the incoming uprising. Weapons, machinery, and ammunition were diverted to the Royalist cells. Akym was awarded the title of baron, a seat in the parliament, and some land confiscated from the People's Republic when Vahzirthaamro returned. However, his ambitions did not stop there. Using the money made from his time as a Republican bureaucracy, alongside whatever profit he could extract from his new holdings, Yudenikh continued to acquire more estate. Newly liberated farms were sold to him at a meager price thanks to his connections within the government. In a question of years, he became a Grand Duke and one of the major landowners of the New Kingdom. Akym controversially used prisoners of war as workers in his plantations during the Second Revolution as part of deals with the military.

Following the Armistice, Akym Yudenikh now leads the Royalist Party; his main mission is to maintain the status quo. The continuation of the constitutional monarchy and the privileges of the nobility align perfectly with his interests. He is one of the major supporters of further deals with megacorporations. Grand Duke Akym is not afraid to use his position to protect his interest in the parliament. Under his vision, prosperity for the New Kingdom means more power and wealth to its elite.

===Prince Serhiy Oliinyk===

Born as the third son to a family of Njarir'Akhran in 2434, Serhiy Oliinyk's life was profoundly affected by events over which he had no control. Raised in a household of avid royalists supporters, Serhiy was exposed to his parents' ideology since his youth. However, the boy had his reservations in regards to the possible return of the monarchy; he doubted that they could truly avoid the mistakes of the past. For his support during the uprising in Northern Harr'masir, the patriarchy of the Oliinyk family was given a seat in the parliament, a title of nobility, and a modest tract of land. Serhiy mistakenly believed that he could escape his bloodline's obligation thanks to his status as the third child. He already had a passion in his life: playing the P'rrama.

The war was cruel to the Oliinyk. Serhiy's brothers were killed while serving the army. This put him in an uneasy position as the heir of a parliamentary seat. The growing debt forced his father to sell whatever land they had left; the Oliinyk had officially joined the ranks of landless nobility. The final blow came in 2459 with the bombing of the Parliament; Serhiy inherited his progenitor's seat after his demise in the attack. The young musician was thrown into the midst of the New Kingdom's politics. Influenced by his social status and beliefs, he aligned himself to the Commoners Party.

If he is truly unable to escape his fate, Prince Serhiy decided to make the best out of it. Because of his age and a family full of martyrs, Serhiy became the Commoners Party's main spokesperson. Convincing the Queen to support the Populists will not be easy; the Conservatives and Absolutists are far more powerful and influential. A powerful strategy is necessary to guarantee the Commoners Party triumph in the parliament. Serhiy plans to retire from politics after the hereditary parliamentary positions are abolished and the Kingdom is fairer to its population. He hopes to return to his greatest passion: music.

===Count Tscherim Sanguszkho===

Hailing from a cadet house of the Rrhakaslov dynasty, Tscherim Sanguszkho was born in 2433 shortly after his family escaped to Kaltir to avoid the First Revolution's massacres. He was raised on a small farm frequented by disposed nobles and royalist sympathizers. Sheltered from the rest of Adhomai, he grew only knowing the world only through the nostalgic tales of pre-contact Njarir'Akhran, The Sanguszkho family was quick to offer their support to King Azunja when he returned; the Tscherim's father was given a seat in the parliament. Tscherim became a low-ranking officer in the army.

Tscherim Sanguszkho's military career came to an end in 2460 when he was gravely wounded in combat. Taking advantage of his pension and family's position, Tscherim spent the next years in gentlemen's clubs. In these places, he entered into contact with radical Absolute Royalists and became deeply interested in [[Tajaran Minor Religions#Ancient Tajara Theory|esoteric beliefs]]. Tscherim founded his organization in 2462: the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity. Drawing inspiration from the stories of an idealized pre-First Contact society, the ideology known as Revival Royalism was born from the Fraternity's meetings. Posing as a regular club, Tscherim was able to introduce other nobles to his ideals. Knowing that the task of enforcing the old order was not an easy one, Sanguszkho chose a common enemy to unite the kingdom against: the Tajara of mixed heritage.

Tscherim's plan came to fruition when his father died in a car accident in 2463; he inherited a landed title, a state, and a seat in the Parliament. Shortly after, the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity opened its membership to the public and made its intentions clear. Thanks to a deal with the Officers and Royal parties, the Fraternity became the fourth faction in the Parliament. Despite being the leader of the smallest Party, Count Tscherim has already begun to plot to slowly introduce his ideology into the New Kingdom.

===Ser Mrakhanjurl Ii'rka===

Mrakhanjurl was born in 2422 in a Zhan-Khazan family in a small village outside Olska. He received little education nor traveled far outside his village. As soon as he came of age at 16 he joined the rest of the village mining bauxite ore to be shipped to Olska to make aluminum. He eventually lost both parents to lung cancer from the mine's poor ventilation before he was 23. In 2452, when he was 29, he traveled with a dozen other Zhan-Khazan miners several miles to Olska to join a protest against the new legislation of President Hadii that was meant to crack down 'subversive elements' that many felt were unfair to Zhan-Khazan. The army was called in and brutally repressed the demonstration, which saw Mrakhanjurl narrowly escape with his life. He returned to his village to find that it had been torched by the republican army for housing subversive agitators.

Mrakhanjurl mourned the loss of his village and was picked up by rebel militia, who revealed that they had managed to provide early warning to the village and evacuate over a dozen people, but the army had managed to find and kill all but a handful of survivors. In gratitude for the rebels dying for his village, and to avenge the deaths, Mrakhanjurl joined the armed resistance that eventually joined itself under the New Kingdom of Adhomai. In a very short few years became a remarkable marksman, gaining the most recorded kills of any Tajara sniper. Current New Kingdom estimates put Mrakhanjurl's kill count at 285, 32 of those enemy PRA snipers.

Mrakhanjurl also managed to evacuate countless civilians from Republic territory to northern New Kingdom holdings. During the famous ''Rout of the 2nd Battalion'', in which New Kingdom defenders unsuccessfully attempted to prevent Republican forces from capturing Baltor, Mrakhanjurl assumed command of the 4th Company after both its leading officers had been killed by sniper fire. Despite a serious gunshot wound to the leg Mrakhanjurl began shouting orders and rallied the shattered defenders, who were the last line of defense between the advancing Republic forces and thousands of refugees attempting to flee the city. The ''Rally of the 4th Company'' on 2456 successfully managed to delay advancing Republic troops long enough for thousands of more refugees to escape into New Kingdom territory who would otherwise face atrocity.

For his bravery and growing fame (which was now considered too important to risk in the war effort), Mrakhanjurl was given the Order of the Victorious Sun, the highest honor in the New Kingdom, as well as being the first Zhan-Khazan in history to be given the noble rank of Ser. He remains a hero to the Zhan-Khazan and the New Kingdom.

===King of the Mountains Rustam Harmaliik===
[[File:harmaliik portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the king in his riding regalia, done in 2454.]]
Rustam Harmaliik was born in 2427 as the son of a deposed Njarir'Akhran noble family. He spent most of his youth in the rural region of Harr'masir, where he had contact with some groups of Rhazar'Hrujmagh that inhabited the region. As an adult, he found employment in law enforcement and was sent by the People’s Republic to support the efforts to settle the rock nomads of the Harr’masir region in 2448 as a Republican official.

While working alongside the authorities to make sure that the nomadic Zhan would accept and adopt a sedentary lifestyle, Rustam grew more interested in their culture and became skeptical of the Hadii’s regime and how they were treating the Rock Nomads. Unrest among the Rhazar'Hrujmagh soon followed, and Rustam would try to offer his support in any way possible, such as sabotaging equipment shipment or relaying misleading intelligence. The government soon realized his treason, forcing Rustam to abandon his post and escape into the wilderness.

Rustam found shelter among a caravan of the Rhazar'Hrujmagh, and soon adopted their way of life. Unrest and resistance continued among the rock nomads, and Harmaliik joined their struggle against the People’s Republic. With the New Kingdom’s rebellion, the control of the region waned and the Republican efforts shifted to other problems, which allowed the nomad resistance to blossom into guerrilla warfare. Rustam climbed the ranks of his caravan’s forces, winning prestige and favor by leading them against the Republican forces.

The second revolution happened, and the Rhazar'Hrujmagh resistance continued. Rustam assumed the leadership of his adopted caravan and aimed to acquire more support among the other Rock Nomads. Through the years of the conflict, he gathered more men and wagons under his command, through diplomacy or conquest, but limiting himself to defensive tactics, ambushes, and raids. The political stance of Harmaliik has always been one of neutrality in the conflict, never compromising fully with the Adhomai Liberation army, due to his Njarir’Akhran origins and monarchist sentiments, and never declaring any support to the New Kingdom, in fear of losing the trust of his fellow nomads,

Due to a republican offensive against the nomadic guerrillas in 2461, Rustam decided to declare himself the Almalik’Rhazar, a word roughly translated as "leader of the mountains", following an ancient nomadic tradition that allows the largely independent Rock Nomad caravans to elect a ruler among themselves. This decision alienated him from his ALA allies and the other nomads, forcing him to side with the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Harmaliik and his caravans have joined the kingdom war effort. He and his people were later granted the southeast territories of the New Kingdom for their support during the conflict.

===Brother Mikhail Ordau===
Little is known about Mikhail Oradu’s parentage. He was given to the Parivara at a very young age, left on the doorstep of Miran'mir's abbey. Thus the Family took him in as they do many small children, teaching him and educating him about S’rendarr and Messa. Mikhail was an accomplished writer for his age, but a speech impediment left him at a disadvantage when it came to oral presentations. The boy was known to be bookish, and spent much of his free time in the abbey’s library as well as its restricted section, thanks to his close friendship with the abbot.

He had an unusual interest in the sciences for a clergyman. As the Second Revolution loomed ahead, and whispers of splitting from the Republic crept into the local city, he busied himself with reading and tending to the monastery’s garden. Eventually, Miran’mir and all of northern Harr’masir split from the Republic to form the New Kingdom. With the war came plenty of hardship, and the Priests of S’rendarr did their best to help alleviate the tragedy amongst the peasants.

With little farmable land and a severe manpower disadvantage, the New Kingdom struggled to provide for its people. Starvation was a very real threat, and the abbey’s garden was not sufficient. A conflicted Mikhail turned once again to the abbey’s library and science for an answer; and, as though a miracle from the Suns themselves, one came. He discovered an ancient text detailing breeding methods for slaves, from long before the First Revolution. Suggestions on how to pass on desirable traits and mannerisms; to breed subservience. Controversial, but an unknowing descriptor of genetics and hereditary traits.

It was armed with this knowledge that Mikhail set about breeding new plants. Earthen roots, dirt berries, and more were cultivated for generations by Mikhail, aiming to pass on traits like hardiness and vitality. The plants became much more accustomed to growing in harsh conditions thanks to his work, and as the New Kingdom pushed back the Republicans and gained more territory, these hardier plants were easier to grow in the shell-shocked muddy battlefields. The threat of starvation became less and less pressing as more and more farms could deal with the way the war affected the terrain. For his efforts, Brother Mikhail was afforded a personal audience with the King.

===Oleg Al'Mor===
Born Oleg Murkov Al-Al’Mori in 2400, Oleg was a teenager when humanity stumbled upon the Tajara. His simple life of working and indentured servitude was suddenly upended with the influx of new ideals; he and his family, along with a contingent of other refugees of war avoided the conflicts erupting across the planet by staying in the mountains of Northern Harr’masir. To pass the time and keep themselves entertained, the telling of fireside epics became common. Oleg was noted to be imaginative with his tales even then, regaling other Tajara with stories of war and love.

Eventually, however, the nomadic hunter-gatherer life in the mountains could no longer support their numbers, and Oleg’s group descended from their hiding place. By this point, rebel armies had mostly taken hold of Kal’tir and the surrounding areas, giving Oleg relative freedom. When the war finally came to an end in 2432, Oleg was well known as a traveling bard and performer who earned his living using his creative skills entertaining war-weary soldiers and newly freed slaves. The stability that came with the formation of the People’s Republic afforded Oleg the opportunity to settle down in Kal’tir once again, where he took an interest in the local theater scene.

His first play, The Jester’s End, pioneered the form of black comedy and was a throwback to the days of servitude. Over the course of his career in Kal’tir, Oleg penned many more plays under his pseudonym Oleg Al’Mor, out of fear of inviting reprisals from the People’s Republic. Oleg’s plays were often scandalous or controversial for challenging the traditional morality held by Tajara. However, as time went on, his works became formulaic and much less shocking, and thus by extension more palatable to the average Tajara. Black comedy found a good home amongst the countless war veterans of the First Revolution.

Oleg considered himself an intellectual, and when the New Kingdom of Adhomai split from the People’s Republic he was an outspoken supporter. He and his family had experienced the benefits of the old ways, and with his considerable wealth from play royalties, he financed the New Kingdom with donations. Sadly, Oleg Al’Mor passed away in December of 2460 after completing his final work. The play, titled A Maiden’s Voyage, was particularly well-received, with even the King himself getting a private showing. Many of his works are still performed in theaters all over the New Kingdom’s territory.

==Others==

===Father Valyan K'rrirran===

''"From the stars, he saw Adhomai's cities and mountains become nothing more than specks. When he beheld the planet from far away, he realized that it was a small dot within this vast new galaxy. It was then he saw how truly special our homeland and our people are."''

''-Father Valyan K'rrirran, written as the ending to the prologue in his novel "An Introduction to The Twin Suns", 2430.''

Born in 2406 to a family of merchants in Dras’nrra, Valyan chose to join the faith at a young age, and became a fully-fledged Priest of S'rendarr in the midst of the First Revolution. It was during this time that Valyan had also become one of the first few Tajara to leave Adhomai. Settling on Xanu Prime in 2426 and remaining there until the war’s end in 2431, Valyan provided much of the first glimpses into the theology of the Tajara during this time. He, later on, returned home after publishing his novel written in Tau Ceti Basic on the history of the S’rendarr and Messa. Following the Second Revolution, he had replaced Walid Al’qat as The Father of the Parivara after Al’qat died of heart failure. Since gaining his position in 2462 the new Father has already demonstrated to Adhomai that he is able to rise to the task of leading the Parivara. Alongside his archivers, he had revealed misinterpretations in the vows of the Suns Sisters and amended the Vow of Silence to the original Vow of Whispers.

The Father has kept this momentum of progress going forward. In the same year, he began to assist with several archeological digs across Adhomai to gather more information on not just the history of the Suns faith, but also of the Tajara people. Much of this collection is digitalized and shared through a newly developed site (Simply dubbed “Parivara and Tajara History.pra”.) made by an influx of well-educated acolytes. Now, any curious Tajara or alien can find a trove of information on the Parivara and new details on the species’ history. This mix of preserving old traditions alongside progressing aspects of the church has made Valyan popular among the younger generations of Tajara, kindling their interest in the faith.

However, Valyan is not free of controversy. Some conspiracy theorists believe that he could have had a hand in the death of the previous Father, citing the lack of provided medical care and the quick selection of Valyan as the new Father. Others point to his connection to the revitalized Kin of S’rendarr and believe him to be funding the Kin, supplying them with off-world equipment and arms to continue their war against whoever is deemed the faith’s enemy. Nonetheless, these are regarded as little more than baseless rumors by much of the population.

===Rikdar Al'Manq===

Rikdar was born on '''2429''' the noble Njarir’Akhran Bayan line in Nal'Tor, with Bayan being his birth name. However, his parents were disappeared by Republic secret police in one of the frequent purges of Njarir’Akhran and he was put into state-run foster care. He has raised in the ''House Of Young Patriots'' orphanage until he was adopted at 14 to Hharar parents and took their last name of Al'Manq. As he was going to school his parents and teachers immediately took notice of his artistic abilities and interest in painting, which the orphanage had initially tried to discourage. In 2446, when he was 18, Rikdar won an art contest where he submitted a portrait of his Environmental Geology teacher and gained a prestigious scholarship in the Nal'Tor University of The Arts, a state-funded institution.

Rikdar attended the university for several years, though his studies were sometimes interrupted or delayed by the periodic waves of anti-Njarir’Akhran demonstrations and violence that gripped the campus. However, he quickly became a prodigy amongst his peers. Al'Manq's style of oil painting and doing portraits became a sensation in the capital, with the mayor and several city officials requesting their portraits done. Rikdar graduated from university at 20 years old in '''2450''' with a Bachelor of Arts. Having already received several high-profile commissions, including the then-President Al'Mari Hadii, whose portrait was done a week before his death. Al'Manq managed to survive the resulting chaos across Adhomai following the assassination of Al'Mari Hadii by the nature of his celebrity status, but his popularity remains confined within the major cities.

At only 29 years old in '''2458''' the ''Al'Manq Style'' has already become a famous style of painting across Adhomai. The Al'Manq Style is noted for its use of rich oil-based paint that focuses on portraits and profiles. The colors are often bold or show rich texture and color. The hands of Tajara are painted without being anatomically correct. Critics blast Al'Manq's apparent inability to draw hands correctly but Rikdar has stated that it's his personal style. This has influenced other artists, and many attempting to pay homage to Al'Manq draw hands as stubby. Rikdar remains extremely popular on Adhomai. The People's Republic remains a quiet supporter of his work, and state officials pay him handsome commissions for their portraits to be done, though they frown on him taking commissions from New Kingdom officials as well. The Adhomai Liberation Army has painted Rikdar as just another nobleman and several members of the Liberation Army have given open contempt for his work.

===Bloodstorm===

Bloodstorm is a famous and infamous DPRA Heavy Metal Band that has surged in popularity with the younger “denier” generation. Those in this generation are categorized by their refusal of modern Tajara convictions but also human influences, instead of turning to their roots.

====Vargir Stenovich “Godslayer”====

The lead guitarist of the group, Vargir Stenovich is known as the spokesperson of the band and the most controversial figures. Admitting to being a Raskara cultist in public and calling out the Parivara on their “bedding with the government”. Vargir has been involved in numerous scandals including protesting military parades, playing one of his songs next to a work camp without permission, and lastly ingesting drugs on live television and proceeding to slander the ALA for bombing the NKA parliament.
[[File:Al-Atil.png|200px|thumb|right|Photo of Al-Atil at the Mztel'Mir concert, "War Is Fuck, Let's Do It", circa 2459.]]

====Janos Al-Lung “Drowner”====

Janos is the bassist of Bloodstorm and the only band member without a criminal record. He has frequently butted heads with Stenovich over the political extremities the band goes through to discredit not only PRA and NKA but also DPRA.

====Al-Atil Csihar “Nightmaster”====

The vocalist, Al-Atil, is known for his “mrowl”, a high, long, yelp that is recorded as the loudest sound produced by a Tajara. He loves to interact with the public and often stays behind on the podium to sign autographs and fans, the latter of which he uses black spray paint.

====Cecil Kernov “Bloodletter”====

Cecil is the Drummer and has the longest time served behind bars. Kernov has his nickname for a reason as he’s been charged with armed assault. He had brutally assaulted a fan who had climbed on stage with a drum, getting it stuck on said Tajara’s head and pushing him off the stage with a dropkick.

====The Mist “Mih”====

A yet unknown band member by the public, “Mih” remains anonymous always wearing a mask in public and never speaking. He plays the P'rrama, an old Tajara string instrument, with 8 strings mirrored in a long horn-like pipe that extends to the ground which emits a loud, brass twanging noise described as an over-amped guitar.

'''Most Notable Albums Include:'''

The Freezing Blizzard - An early, traditional album, mediocre without the employment of the P'rrama.

War Is Fuck, Let's Do It - The core most popular album drawing similarities between war and love.

If Messa Was Here She'd Be a Whore - First anti-Parivara album created, criticizing their ignorance towards women and discrimination of female priests.

We Live in a Society - WLiaS describes pure hatred of every single faction present not even sparing Sol or Tau Ceti.

Shell In, Spine Out - Another anti-war album, describing the life of a dying soldier.

S'rrendar Loves You Except He Doesn't - Repeated hatred of Parivara, slander, and is famous for having a recording of Cecil attacking a fan with the drum.

If You're Old You Should Die - Scolding critique of the old leading system and a call for the younger generation to disregard the politicians and tear it all down.

[[Tajara|Tajaran]] history and society has a long list of notable individuals and heroes that are known across [[Adhomai]].

==People's Republic==

''"Comrades, in this struggle we fight to protect the progress we have fought so hard to make in the preceding decades. Our march forever onwards for a Hadiist society must not be stopped by the usurpers who would see us become a brutish military dictatorship, nor those fetid imperialists who would restore the atrocities of the old ways."''

''- President Njadrasanukii Hadii, in a televised address to the people in 2452.''
===President Njadrasanukii Hadii===

[[File:Hadii portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the president, done in 2460.]]
Njadrasanukii Hadii, also known as Malik Hadii, was born in '''2402''' to the noble Njarir'Akhran Hadii line. His mother was Rajjurl Hadii, and his father Tajrhalrr Hadii. He got involved with the military at an early age, becoming a cadet for the Royal Navy at 16 and achieving a commission as a Lieutenant-Commander at 22, and leading his own destroyer as a Captain at 29. During the revolution, he briefly fought for the loyalists but was recalled to the Hadii Citadel to help defend his family's ancestral home. Following the revolution and the Hadii's rise in the new Federal Republic, Njadrasanukii was given the office of Vice-President under his brother Al'Mari Hadii.

Malik assumed the presidency in '''2451''' after the assassination of Al'mari. He continued his brother's early agenda of collaborating with NanoTrasen and other galactic powers. Njadrasanukii purged any suspicious elements from his administration after the Nated's coup, consolidating his power through the imprisonment and execution of anyone that threatened his regime. Further authoritarian measures were established by him; the expansion of the secret police, the rapid industrialization of the PRA, and further persecution against those who did not conform to his policies. Under Malik Hadii's control, the current form of Hadiism took shape; an ideology focused on the creation of a monolithic Tajaran culture under the unquestionable guidance of the Hadii political line. The office of the president had its powers largely expanded under his rule, allowing Njadrasanukii to control all aspects of the People's Republic government. Total loyalty to Njadrasanukii is expected from all Party members.

A state-endorsed cult of personality has been established around President Hadii. Through a robust propaganda system, republican citizens are informed daily about Malik's achievements and how only through his guidance the Republican can prosper. Portraits of President Hadii can be found in most Hadiist homes and government buildings. Njadrasanukii is known for his speeches praising his own administration and the bravery of his people; his voice can be heard frequently on the radio. While many admire him as a strong leader, others fear his ruthless ways of dealing with the opposition.

President Hadii is famous for his extreme paranoia. Very few high-ranking members of the Party have direct access to him and little is known about his private life. He is constantly surrounded by hand-picked members of the secret service; those bodyguards are always under the risk of being purged for any reason. It is rumored that he has survived more than three hundred assassination attempts.

Despite the outcome of the Second revolution, Njadrasanukii continues to rule the People's Republic with an iron grip. He did not give up his plans of reestablishing Hadiist hegemony over Adhomai.
[[File:headmaster portrait.png|200px|thumb|left|A rare picture of the camera shy Tyr'adrr, taken during the closure of an illegal protest, dated to 2459.]]
===Headmaster Harrrdanim Tyr'adrr===

Harrrdanim was born in '''2425''' to a M'sai family serving the Hadii during the First Revolution. Wishing to follow in the footsteps of his parents, he joined the Hadiist Party at a young age. He soon caught the attention of the People's Strategic Intelligence Service due to his craftiness and was given a position in the agency. Despite enjoying moderate success during the late years of Al’mari’s rule, Tyr'adrr rose to prominence after the President’s assassination. Leading several purges within the secret service, he was able to secure a promotion as the Headmaster after the previous head was arrested for suspicious behavior. Under Tyr’addr’s control, the PSIS became the feared terror machine it is today. Heavy investments in surveillance technology, the establishment of a robust web of informants, and the large-scale repression of political opponents greatly weakened the opposition in the People’s Republic. His supposed adventures during this period have spawned an entire "spy thriller" genre in the Republic.

After helping secure President Hadii's rule, Headmaster Harrdanim focused his efforts on fighting the Liberation Army and the New Kingdom. Ruthless anti-partisan campaigns were carried out under his supervision. The displacement of Chaniska’s native population, scorched-earth tactics in Northern Ras'nrr, and the creation of Try'urma Penitentiary were among some of his orders during the conflict. His actions during the Second Revolution earned him the reputation of being merciless and bloodthirsty. In spite of several assassination attempts, ALA agents failed to murder him and he continued his reign of terror unimposed.

Even after the Armistice, Headmaster Harrdanim continues to work tirelessly to undermine the enemies of the Republic. He has a large interest in securing the Tajara population living outside of Adhomai and is responsible for the PSIS presence in District Six. He is eager to suggest more authoritarian solutions and believes in increasing, even more, the state’s control over the population. Because of the role of the Strategic Service in the government, Tyr'adrr is one of the most powerful and hated Tajara in the People's Republic. While seemingly loyal to President Hadii, many in the Party fear where Tyr'adrr's ambition might lead him.

===Party Secretary Yakiv Hadii===

Yakiv Hadii was born in '''2412''' as the second cousin to President Hadii. While too young to take part in the First Revolution, Yakiv joined the Hadiist Party as soon as he could. During Njadrasanukii’s rule, he excelled as a bureaucrat due to his organizational skills. He managed the distribution of land and the establishment of communal farms during the Republican Agrarian reforms. Through a combination of political maneuvers and nepotism, he quickly climbed the Party's ranks. Yakiv sought to further the Republican relationship with NanoTrasen, seeking their support for the development of Adhomai. This stance caused him to lose Al’mari’s favor during the years leading to the Second Revolution. He was then demoted to an unimportant position in the Ministry of Agriculture.

Yakiv returned to prominence after Rhagrrhuzau’s assassination; he was seen as a way to link Malik’s rule to his now-deceased brother. Following the abolishment of the office of vice-president, Yakiv was promoted as the Party Secretary by Njadrasanukii. He became responsible for the internal organization and reviewing applications to the Party; he was quick to remove many of his political opponents from power using his new powers. Known as unquestionably loyal to President Hadii, he became infamous for being nothing but a yes man. He continued his policy of maintaining good relations with megacorporations, lobbying for more deals with NanoTrasen. Countless Tajara were given the opportunity to leave Adhomai due to his efforts, most sold as cheap labor while some others were able to acquire higher education. During the final stages of the war, he was one of the main proponents of the need for foreign intervention to save the People's Republic.

After the Armistice, Yakiv remained as Party Secretary. He is one of the closest advisors to President Hadii, helping Malik in matters related to internal and external affairs. Despite being an orthodox Hadiist, he is eager to push for changes to appease NanoTrasen and other foreign powers in an attempt to gain their support. Many within the Party see Yakiv as a power-hungry and untrustworthy politician, eager to abuse his power to reach what he wants. Others recognize him as a cunning politician with a rather dangerous influence over President Hadii.

===Minister of Defense Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar===

Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar was born into a Hharar peasant family in '''2428'''. He was raised around veterans of the first revolution and was always interested in their stories. Owing to the new opportunities brought by the People’s Republic, Irbaykhan enrolled in a military academy and joined the Grand People's Army as an officer. He survived the purges of the early Hadiist government because of his political reliability; as he was one of the first army leaders to support President Hadii during his ascension. This left him in the privileged situation of being one of the few properly trained officers at the dawn of the Nated’s coup.

Irbaykhan quickly climbed the ranks of the Republican Army during the Second Revolution. Making extensive use of artillery and motorized troops, he secured early victories that gave much-needed breathing room to the fragile Republic. While in command of the Dymtris Front in '''2456''', he pushed the New Kingdom into the defensive position that they would remain in until the very end of the war. Mirarkiizar’s final promotion during the conflict was to the theater commander of the Rass’nrr Military District. With the help of the alien allies of the Republic, he managed to recapture the main region of the continent. He was given a seat in the Ministry of Defense after the Armistice, working alongside the upper echelons of the Party to refine the Republic’s strategy.

Unlike most members of the Ministry of Defense, Irbaykhan has both political connections and practical experience in the field. This combination has made him one of President Hadii’s closest advisors in regard to military matters. Currently, he is responsible for the Hro'zamal campaign. Mirarkiizar sees the Grand People's Army as an essential component of the Hadiist state; the ever-vigilant guardian of the Republic against its enemies. The Minister believes that strict discipline and union towards a common goal is the best way to safeguard the future of the People’s Republic.

===Minister of Technology Zhuldyz Hadii===

Born in '''2420''' to the Hadii dynasty, Zhuldyz enjoyed the many privileges granted to her family. She grew up fascinated by the new technologies brought by human contact; she would spend hours tinkering and dismantling electronics during her childhood. Later she was sent to study in prestigious Solarian universities, where she ventured into the field of robotics. Zhuldyz returned to Adhomai in 2449 and was granted a post in the Ministry of Technology.

Using the knowledge acquired off-world, Zhuldyz drew plans with the objective of modernizing the Republic through a technological revolution. The rapid industrialization aided by mechatronics would bring prosperity to the Tajara. While many of her initial projects were abruptly interrupted by Rhagrrhuzau's assassination, she remained in her position due to being a member of the Hadii dynasty. The unstable early years of Njadrasanukii’s presidency were unfavorable towards her dreams; stopping Nated’s coup and the Royalist uprising were top priorities at the time. However, as the frontlines stagnated and a semblance of normalcy returned to the People’s Republic, Zhuldyz had the chance to convince President Hadii of her plans. Knowing that losing the war would put an end to her pursuits, she turned her genius to the military field. Victory could be achieved through technological superiority. She was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Hadii Institute of Orbital Research|Hadii Institute of Orbital Research]], the expansion of the [[Tajara_Space_Capability#PRA_Army_Wing|Orbital Fleet]], and the creation of the Tesla Brigade. Zhuldyz was promoted to the office of the Minister of Technology shortly before the Armistice.

The Adhomian Cold War became the perfect testing ground for Zhuldyz's projects. She sees the period of peace as an opportunity to turn the People's Republic into a technological powerhouse. Zhuldyz believes that the future of Hadiism lies in science and that the Republic must become advanced enough to subjugate its enemies. Minister Hadii is not interested in ethical or safe research; she is eager to pursue dangerous and questionable experiments. No price is too small to pay during the march of progress. President Hadii gave Zhuldyz near uncontested authority to lead the Ministry of Technology. She was the mind behind the creation of the first independent robotic factory on Adhomai.

===Secretary of the Navy Hura'zhi Mira'zkui===

Born in '''2422''' to an exiled line of minor nobility from the Zatushka Kingdom, Mira’zkui grew up in the chaos of the First Revolution as the armies of the Hadiist rebels marched across Adhomai. When the dust had settled, despite his personal wishes to enter the party itself, his family would convince him to uphold their old traditions and join the forming Republican Navy in '''2447'''. It was then that Mira’zkui met Dynhaas and joined the Oceanmasters Lounge.

During the chaos of Dynhaas’ defection in '''2450''', Mira’zkui narrowly avoided his own death. Informed early by a loyal lieutenant that his own crew was plotting to kill him, Mira’zkui fled in a lifeboat and watched as his fellow officers were thrown screaming from the decks of their own ships. A few days later, he was found on the shores of Ras’nrr. As the Republic fell into chaos, Mira’zkui returned to the Republican Navy as Secretary, entrusted by Malik Hadii to fight against the pirate flotillas of the ALA and the Royal Navy. However, Mira’zkui’s loyalty was not able to make up for his inexperience. While the last of the Liberation Army’s pirate vessels were sunk, he was unable to contend with the strength of the Royal Navy and unable to achieve his personal desire: Capturing or killing Dynhaas.

Post-War, Mira’zkui has largely become reclusive and withdrawn from the public eye. While he continues to try and develop the Republican navy, Mira’zkui is forced to contend with funding going towards the projects of the Orbital Navy and Grand People’s Army. With a relationship of mutual dislike between himself and Zhuldyz Hadii, many within the party believe that Mira’zkui will likely be replaced eventually. How he would react to being denied any chance for revenge against Dynhaas is something no one knows.

===Chief Naval Commander Samirro Qarrarhaz===

Born in Northern Ras’nrr in '''2407''', Samirro was the son of a loyal M'sai general in the Hadii Hegemony. Qarrarhaz's family raised and taught him to follow in his father’s footsteps. He would become an artillery officer in '''2428''', finding great success during combat against monarchist groups through using extensive shelling to force and flush out the enemy. By '''2431''' Qarrarhaz was moved into Southern Harr’masir to prepare for an invasion of the Kingdom of Kaltir. His artillery crews were among those who scoured the Kingdom following its surrender, shelling whatever villas, castles, and manors they had found. A staunch ally of Al’mari Hadii and his family, Qarrarhaz has always stood by the Hadii family and the republic they had later built.

While also providing training for future artillery commanders in the interwar period, Qarrarhaz became part of a committee formed by President Al’mari Hadii to plan and prepare a space fleet for the PRA. He, along with other committee members, traveled to the Coalition of Colonies' planets of Xanu Prime and Himeo to observe anti-piracy operations in order to better develop the PRA’s own future space warfare doctrine in '''2452'''. When the Orbital Fleet was completed by '''2457''', Qarrarhaz was appointed Chief Naval Commander by President Malik Hadii. Since then, he has won numerous victories against piracy, smugglers, and even bested a [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/?do=findComment&comment=114422 Sol cruiser].

Post-war, Qarrarhaz continues to lead his spaceships and Kosmostrelki in the defense of the PRA’s claimed space. Comfortable and experienced in his position, Qarrarhaz has begun to speak more on the future of the PRA’s ventures into space. Controversially, the Commander has stated that the PRA must eventually extend its hand to the numerous small colonies and off-worlder communities dotting the frontier around them. Arguing that Hadiism’s light must be spread beyond Tajara, it is his belief that the PRA must one day uplift these groups from their poverty and absorb them into the state.

===Minister of Education Kalim Khazdar===

Kalim Khazdar was born in '''2430''' to a family of Hharar foremen in the city of Tampiska. Deemed a bright child by his teachers, he was sent to study in Al'marii. Captivated by the tales of progress and prosperity brought by the interwar period, Kalim enrolled at the Al'marii College of Hadiist Sciences. He continued his studies intending to become a college teacher. During his time as a student, he became a good friend and protégé of the rector of the university, Mahir Hadii. His friendship with a member of the political dynasty opened many doors for him.

Kalim joined the Hadiist party during the Second Revolution. He later visited Tau Ceti to study the Adhomian community there; his experiences in District Six deeply affected his ideas. He saw all the social problems that those who lived under the megacorporation rule were subject to. Instead of losing faith in Hadiism, he started to believe that reforms were necessary to save the People's Republic; NanoTrasen should be a means to an end, not the end itself. Kalim returned to Adhomai in 2459 and became a college professor. Thanks to his connections, he soon got involved with the administration and politics of the university. His papers on the subject of Hadiist education were generally well-received by the academia.

With the Armistice of Shastar, Kalim Khazdar aligned himself to the Young Hadiist faction; his sympathy towards the movement was largely unknown to the Party. His ascension to the position of Minister of Education in 2463 was the result of a confidential deal between his mentor and President Hadii. Despite being considered a powerless and inexperienced politician by the other members of the Hadiist cabinet, Kalim is not to be underestimated. Cunning will be necessary to avoid the wrath of President Hadii and his lackeys. The path to a truly free People's Republic will be a long and difficult one.

===Yasmin Piaf===

[[File:Yasmin portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A piece of a poster, promoting Yasmin Piaf's concern, 2463.]]
Yasmina Burokov, aka Yasmin Piaf, was born in 2434 in the suburbs of Nal'tor to a particularly well-off Njarir'Akhran family. Yasmin's father, Boris Burokov was a low-ranking State department official and devout loyalist of the People's Republic. She spent her childhood being educated in the best State-run schools their family could afford and enjoyed relative wealth and prosperity far from the poorer outskirts of the city.

Even from a young age, Yasmin was interested in music. She was part of her school's choir and participated in several nationwide contests for the honor of singing for President Rhagrrhuzau Hadii. The all-female 'Band of Njarir Maidens' consisting of Yasmin and her classmates eventually won and sang for the President and other members of his cabinet at the end of the annual military parade held in Nal'tor. Eventually, she graduated and went on to the Academy of Musical Arts with a full scholarship.

Talent scouts pruning the burgeoning academy's student pool for the next starlet eventually discovered Yasmin during rehearsals for the school's upcoming musical, and she signed a tentative deal with the small publication Vostak Recordings. Her first record, simply titled The Man in Rouge, was released with minimal fanfare. Given that she had sung a small solo during her performance for the President, some Tajara recalled her name.

Yet her voice, described by some as angelic and innocent, found purchase with an aging generation of Tajara who wished a brief return to peaceful normalcy following the First Revolution. Her dedication to the traditional pop standard and recognition for torch songs eventually elevated her to the status of a household name, with her recording label releasing hit after hit. As a result, Yasmin Piaf has become one of the most famous singers in the modern era - one who has fostered a close relationship with State officials. She is one of the few artists who are approved to be played on State radio KGTW-11.

===Andrey Borisov===

Out of all the Tajara that one could argue embody loyalty to the People’s Republic, perhaps none are more memorable than Andrey Alexander Borisov. In the average Republican household, his name is just as common as President Hadii’s, owing to the fact that he is the face of State propaganda and news network RAFИ. Born in 2416 to a line of M’sai warriors, Andrey was not even two years old before humanity stumbled across Adhomai and lit the flame that ignited the First Revolution.

Andrey’s father and uncle were killed in the uprising, leaving him, his mother, and his sister alone to fend for themselves. His mother curried favor with the local rebel leader when their town fell to the onslaught of war; she became his concubine and, later, his wife. The ever-advancing front saw Andrey moved from home to home, where the young M’sai would often spend time talking to soldiers recovering after harsh fighting. They nourished a sense of patriotism in him, and eventually, he came to see the First Revolution as necessary for the future of the Tajara.

The war ended in 2432, when he was merely 16 years old. As the newly founded People’s Republic began the arduous transition from a movement to a government, Andrey’s connections with the upper echelon of PRA politicians bore fruit. He was taken on as a member of an officer’s general staff, headquartered in Nal’Tor, where he served as little more than a glorified secretary. His position put him in contact with the elite, however, and many found him charming and personable. His silver tongue earned him the interest of Dmitrys Marakov, the owner of the only State-approved television station at that point in time.

His ascension from lowly secretary to the major news anchor for RAFИ was one that involved plenty of political maneuvering, money - and, rumored by some, violence - but ultimately Andrey had proved his loyalty to the political elite of the People's Republic and he was rewarded with the honor of being their mouthpiece. As a result, no Tajara on Adhomai can go very long without seeing his smiling face on their television set, spinning the next story or cover-up at the behest of the State.

==Democratic People's Republic==

''"We are soldiers. We are fighters. We are war. We have forsaken the corrupt and decaying corpse of the xeno-loving People's Republic. We have left our homes and our families, but our cause is righteous. The suns are with us! The vile usurper of my friend and comrade Al'mari will have justice delivered to him! We will spill the blood of our enemies until our struggles are seen and heard, and we WILL retake OUR Republic!"

''- Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan, the day after the coup de tat began, 2451.''

===Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan===
[[File:Nateed portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A surprise picture of Nated, taken in 2458.]]
Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan was born in '''2404''' to a M'sai family under the service of the Hadii Dynasty. The son of a royal guard, Nated interacted with many Njarir children in his early life. He grew to resent their narcissism but was prepared to inherit his duty nonetheless. When the First Revolution ignited in '''2421''', Halkiikijr fought for the loyalists alongside the Hadii family. Becoming a battle-brother of Rhagrrhuzau Hadii, or better known as Al'Mari Hadii, Nated stood with the Hadii’s decision to abandon their royal roots and join the revolutionaries. When the war ended Al'Mari was sworn into office, Halkiikijr was made a Commander in Chief of the Republican Army in return for his service.

Al'Mari supposedly made promises of swearing-in Halkiikijr as the next president of the People's Republic once the political climate on Adhomai had stabilized. The legitimacy of this claim is not known, but what is known is that Al'Mari was assassinated during a military parade in '''2451''' and Njadrasanukii Hadii, vice president of the People's Republic, swore himself in as the successor of the presidency. Outraged at the assassination and accusing Njadrasanukii of treachery against the People’s Republic, Nated organized a coup against Malik. Bringing together military commanders dissatisfied with the new Hadiist policies, Halkiikijr created the Adhomai Liberation Army to dethrone the new President. He then took the title of Supreme Commander.

As the putsch attempt was thwarted by the Hadiist forces, Nated fled to Shastar City. The coup then turned into a full-blown civil war between the Liberation Army and the People’s Republic. Without off-world help, Nated called to arms anyone willing to support his cause. His movement became a unifying front to all kinds of elements opposing President Hadii; from democratic reformers to extremists fighting to free Adhomai from alien influence. For a decade, Halkiikijr led the Liberation Army as an effective opposing force against the People’s Republic and the New Kingdom. He favored the extensive use of irregular warfare coupled with the deployment of the army to secure decisive battles. A cult of personality formed around Halkiikijr; extremists claimed that he was a prophet sent by the Gods. The Supreme Commander took advantage of this belief to cultivate undying loyalty and fanaticism among his followers.

Believing that the territories under his control were ready for a democracy modeled after the Al'mariist principles, Nated's undisputed rule came to an end with the creation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai. Halkiikijr retired from his position as Supreme Commander to prevent a coup against the newly elected president. His retirement did not last long; he returned to power because of the Amohdan crisis in '''2462'''. Nated was given back the control of the Liberation Army and its remaining juntas to retake the Island of Amohda. After this display of weakness, Halkiikijr is unsure if the DPRA is truly ready to rule Adhomai. For him, the ALA is now more essential than before. Nated also faces infighting between his two right-hand men; commander Kahan and Kyff.

===Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad===

Kahan Hro'rammhad was born in '''2412''' to a Hharar family as their oldest children. A peasant from birth in the region of Southern Harr'masir, he was taught the traditional values of S'rendarr and Messa by his deeply religious parents. His childhood was cut short by the outbreak of the First Revolution; his family was expelled from their lands by the war. Thanks to its flat terrain, Southern Harr’masir saw the first deployment of armored vehicles in the conflict; trains, civilian cars, and trucks were outfitted for warfare by the rebels. Hro’rammhad joined the crew of an armored car as soon he turned 14 years old. Because of the high mortality among the revolutionaries, Kahan quickly found himself in the command of his own brigade. He became famous for his excellent use of the vehicles’ speed to encircle the enemy, and for his merciful nature. Monarchists soldiers were always given the chance of joining his side after capture. Hro’rammhad also forbade unnecessary executions and mistreatment of prisoners among his fighters.

Commander Kahan and his brigade were incorporated into the Hadiist faction shortly before the end of the First Revolution. As a member of the Republican Army, he was a major proponent of the transformation of the People’s Army into a motorized force. Tank brigades and motostrelki units were created under his supervision. Kahan funded the reconstruction of many temples destroyed during the revolution and frequently donated to charity through the interwar period. Hro’rammhad joined Nated’s coup due to his profound disagreement with Malik’s policies; he saw the oppression of the Zhan-Khazan as morally corrupt. Armored units that defected alongside him were organized into the Hro'rammhad Tank Corps under his command.

Hro'rammhad remained a merciful and pious Tajara through the Second Revolution. He rejected the notion of irregular warfare and continued to offer mercy to his enemies. As the leader of the main armored force in the Liberation Army, Kahan played an important role in decisive battles. This position allowed him to become a right-hand man for Nated. As part of his religiousness, Hro'rammhad considered the conflict to be a battle to protect the faith against the innate atheism of Hadiism. Religious imagery and motifs became common among his Tajara. The men under Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad are known to have the utmost respect for his bravery and mercy, most even going so far as to worship him as an embodiment of S'rendarr's justice. His success during the civil war earned him the nickname of “Undefeated Commander''.

Despite the armistice, Commander Kahan remains as one of the second-in-command for Halkiikijr. He is an avid supporter of the transition to democracy, advocating for the dismantlement of the juntas. This position earned him many enemies among the more authoritarian elements within the Liberation Army. He is known to despise Commander Kyff Hotak for his tactics and personality. Both Tajara are currently engaged in an internal struggle to consolidate their influence over the Liberation Army.

===Commander Kyff Hotak===

Born in the year '''2406''' to a family of Zhan-Khazan miners in the Trizar, Kyff Hotak was supposedly destined to slave away for his Njarir master as his ancestors did for many generations. To avoid this fate, Hotak fled his home as a young Tajara. He ran into the wilderness until he found a bandit camp. Because of his age, the brigands decided to adopt Kyff as the group’s mascot. The boy grew up witnessing all kinds of crime and violence; later taking part in the band’s activity when old enough. The bandits sided with the rebels during the First Revolution in search of plunder. But their greed was their undoing; the criminals were massacred by the revolutionaries after they were discovered stealing rations. Hotak survived by being the one to report the activities of his previous comrades. As the war dragged on, Kyff became more bold and cruel in his revolutionary activities. He frequently engaged in assassinations, massacres, and false flag operations to crush the monarchists’ morale. Hotak was soon feared by his comrades and hated by his enemies. To him, everything was permissible to achieve victory. Impressed by the victories of the Hadii faction, he joined them as part of the early Ha'narr Corps.

The interwar period was fairly unremarkable for Kyff Hotak; he was given a low-ranking office position in the intelligence department. While Hotak advocated for the recreation of a force similar to the Mountain Ghost Corps, his request was ignored by the Hadiist high command. Memories of his excess in the First Revolution stopped Hotak from receiving any further promotions. He grew discontent with the People’s Republic, believing that he deserved more for his service. Seeing Nated's coup as an opportunity to rise to power, Kyff defected to the Liberation Army without hesitation.

Hotak organized his own unit of commando early into the war; a battalion trained in stealth operations. As a major proponent of irregular warfare, he also helped organize guerilla cells and coordinate terrorist attacks. The success of these groups granted him enough influence to become one of Nated's right-hand men. However, Commander Kyff quickly returned to his old ways; he started to wage a campaign of unrestrained terror. The presence of his soldiers became a harbinger of indiscriminate persecution, murder, excessive property requisition, and collective punishment against any community suspected of working with the enemy. Despite the protest of the civilian population and Commander Kahan, Halkiikijr refused to replace Kyff. Taking advantage of his reputation, Hotak ordered his Tajara to spread stories of him being the earthly manifestation of Messa's wrath. This tactic proved to be effective both among his enemies and allies.

Commander Kyff Hotak remains in service even after the armistice. Many within the army and the civilian administration desire to see Hotak punished for his war crimes, but Supreme Commander Nated continues to protect him. Kyff is a hardline supporter of the more authoritarian elements in the government and desires a strong centralized leadership above all else. He and Commander Hro'rammhad are rivals; both Tajara commonly fight each other over which direction the Liberation Army should go. Hotak is always accompanied by his pet [[Adhomai#Farwa (Tree-Hopper)|Farwa]], Ghiyath.

===President Almrah Harrlala===
[[File:harrlala portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the president during one of her speeches, done in 2461.]]
President Almrah Harrlala was born in '''2426''' to a family of Hharar factory workers in Shastar City. While her childhood was relatively unaffected by the First Revolution, she enjoyed many of the benefits brought by the People’s Republic during the interwar period. Being the first member of her household to receive a proper education, she became involved in the Party’s politics at a considerable young age. She believed that a stable democracy built upon the will of the people was the best path for Adhomai. She was also wary of the presence of megacorporations on the planet, considering their activities as harmful to the development of the Tajara species She campaigned for more worker’s rights and laws restricting corporation’s activities in the PRA. Almrah held a position within the Party until the ascension of President Njadrasanukii Hadii; he ordered the arrest of Harrlala due to her views.

Harrlala was held prisoner in Shastar during the first moments of the Civil war, only the capture of the city by the Liberation Army saved her from being transferred to another location. Hoping to continue her career in politics, she aligned herself with the rebels. Even if the despotic and extremist tendencies of the ALA worried Almrah, she held to Nated's promise of saving the Republic. She was given the position of Provisional Minister of Civil Rights when the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai was established.

As the Minister of Civil Rights, Almrah worked to protect the regional identities present in the DPRA. Her campaign to end military rule over the country while still upholding the principles of Al’mariism made her a popular figure among the moderate sectors of the population. Seeking to expand her political influence, she founded the National Adhomai Worker's Party. She was one of the candidates in the presidential elections of '''2460'''; she won the office of president by a narrow margin. President Harrlala’s ascension to power displeased the authoritarian wing of the Liberation Army, the military then planned a coup to restore their own rule. The putsch was stopped by the intervention of Supreme Commander Nated, who later resigned from his position to grant more powers to the civilian administration.

Following the Armistice, President Almrah Harrlala continued with her internal policies while maintaining a strong stance against foreign dominance. Under her rule, schools to preserve local cultures and languages were established, Gakal’zaal was liberated from the Unathi rule, and the DPRA developed its nuclear program. Her status as one of the first female rulers in modern Tajaran history has inspired many women to engage in DPRA politics. However, her regime is plagued with deep issues. The ghost of separatism lingers over the nation after the Amohdan attempt to secede. Her ability to reconcile the various factions in the government was severely doubted when she failed to draw a plan to handle the rebellious island. Since the return of Halkiikijr to power, the authoritarian elements see this as a moment of weakness in the young Republic. President Harrlala must be ready to face further opposition if she wants to see her vision of Adhomai come to life.

===Ex-interim President Brajrr Alnadruskiy===

Born in '''2423''' in the city of Mztel’mir, Brajjr Alnadruskiy was the youngest child of a family of brewers. He later joined the Republican Army at 17 years old, slowly climbed the ranks through diligent service to the military. Brajrr attributed the prosperity of interwar Adhomai to the strong leadership of President Al’mari; he believed that the Republic always needed a strongman in control to succeed. He severely doubted Malik’s competence because of his decision to undo his brother’s reform.

Brajrr finally rose to prominence with Nated's coup. Upon hearing of the revolution, he rallied the Liberation Army’s aligned troops in Das’nrra to assault Shastar. Alnadruskiy's attack was successful and he was named the Rrhaza-Akhran of the city. Shastar became the headquarter of the ALA, giving Brajrr a reasonable amount of influence within the army high command. He was known for his rigorous discipline and unforgiving nature. Many war prisoners were forced into labor by his orders. Brajrr was given the position of Interim President when the Democratic People’s Republic was created.

Alnadruskiy ran for president in the 2460 elections, seeking to centralize the nation and maintain the Army’s sway over the government. He founded the Free Tajaran People’s Party, gathering the most authoritarian elements in the Republic. After Almrah Harrlala’s victory by a narrow margin, he took part in the putsch against the newly elected president. Despite the defeat of the mutiny, Brajrr managed to convince Halkiikijr that he was forced by the extremists to join them. He was released and allowed to return to politics.

Ex-interim President Brajjr Alnadruskiy now leads the opposition to Harrlala’s regime. He continues to support a centralized state under the leadership of Supreme Commander Nated. Even when the successes of the current administration displease him, their latest crisis has given him enough to challenge Almrah. The return of Halkiikijr to the control of the Army is also considered a victory for him and his followers. Alnadruskiy awaits for the right moment of weakness to retake control of the DPRA.

===Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar===

The first and thus far only incident of weapons of mass destruction being employed on Adhomai happened in 2458, when the People’s Republic dropped a four-megaton nuclear bomb on the Liberation Army base in Quizosa. The death toll from the detonation was staggering, but the fallout from the bomb was carried on strong winds, leading to severe cases of radiation poisoning from the neighboring camps.

Tajara medical experience with radiation poisoning and the effects of nuclear bombs were practically non-existent. The only species in the galaxy that had the technology long before the Tajara were Xenos, and the Liberation Army did not have the luxury of free contact with extraplanetary forces. With the sick and dying mounting, a call for help was sent out to the surrounding territories. Many physicians and doctors made the long and difficult journey in the winter snows to help - at the forefront of them, Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar.

The effects of the bomb were catastrophic. Survivors were badly burned. Their fur fell out, never to grow back again - leaving them susceptible to Adhomai’s frigid temperatures. Their skin peeled off in sickly ribbons, hanging limply to the ground. Doctors were at a loss, with only a rudimentary understanding of what could have happened. Dr. Aleksandra took a sort of unofficial command of the medical effort, and coordinated efforts to assist the sick and dying.

Liberation-sympathetic Tajara, at her prodding, recovered as many documents as they could regarding the atom bomb from PRA-aligned holdings, downloading information from the extranet and thieving textbooks from high-security locations. Thanks to her ingenuity and leadership, the haphazard medical team of doctors saved a great many innocents from a slow, painful death - though they would have to live with the effects of the bomb for the rest of their lives. Dr. Aleksandra is widely known for her opposition to nuclear proliferation, due to her experiences, and has become the face of a growing anti-WMD movement across Ras’narr.

===Arzjun Haurjuhrl===

Rumors persist that Arzjun Haurjuhrl was sired out of wedlock, a result of an affair between a Zhan-Khazan mistress and a rebel leader. He was born in '''2427''' in the warmer regions near the city of Olska, and lived alone with his mother. He was scarcely a child when the war ended and the People’s Republic came to prominence. Both he and his mother suffered much in the way of discrimination - for being Zhan-Khazan as well as having a bastard child. This disconnect between what the People’s Republic promised and the way they were treated caused the young Arzjun to become disillusioned with the Republic.

He was further tested when his mother suddenly fell ill and died in the winter of 2445. With nothing left tying him down, abandoned as he had been by Adhomain society, he took what little funds they had been saving and paid a smuggler to carry him off-world. It took every penny but eventually, he found himself in Mendell City, carrying nothing but the clothes on his back. For a time, he lived on the streets, forced to beg to make ends meet. He soon found work at one of the shelters he had often stayed at. The community of Little Adhomai was more welcoming to him than the homeworld had been.

Deciding to pay back the kindness he received, he took part in many community outreach programs, including plays and dramas for the children of Little Adhomai. His passion for the arts as a medium of expression took root here, and his name rose to some prominence amongst the local Tajara population thanks to his charity work. He aspired to work on his own big picture and got his chance thanks to the collective donations of many Tajara. Wealthy Xenos also had an interest in seeing what the immigrant could do, though perhaps a few thought it would look good as a public relations move.

The script he wrote went through many revisions and sat for a good while before it was picked up by a studio. The community who had helped him before had done it once again; the surprise blockbuster When Summer Came to Nazira was one of the top ten highest-grossing films in Biesel history. Its anti-tyranny message was seen by some as an expression of the director’s own viewpoint on the People’s Republic. In some ways, they were correct - Arzjun is a quiet supporter of the DPRA, which has put him at odds with the Republican government. As a result, his film is banned from showing on Adhomai - though this has not stopped smuggled copies from being distributed amongst DPRA theaters.

==New Kingdom==

''"Loyal subjects, countrymen, brothers. It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that we must conscript from the provinces in order to maintain our fight in this war. However, you are not alone. Even as the new compulsory service legislature is passed, the aristocrats across the kingdom are likewise mobilized under a new service gentry system, so that all of the Kingdom is together in this struggle."''

''- King Vahzirathaamro Azunja, announcing the beginning of conscription and formalization of the service gentry in 2453.''

=== King Vahzirthaamro Azunja===

King Azunja was born in 2400 in the city of Kaltir to the noble Njarir’Akhran Azunja line. His father was Farkhanzirhal and his mother Dramahdarmah. Located in the far reaches of Kaltir, the Azunja family line was one of compassion and fair treatment, as only in unity and brotherhood could they hope to survive the harsh far reaches of Northern Adhomai. Their peasants were kept well and treated with dignity, and the nobles, while privileged, never indulged in cruelty. A noble paige since the age of 10, Vahzirthaamro excelled in reading and writing from an early age. He prepared to inherit the family throne as the sole son of his parents until the first civil war of Adhomai ignited in 2421.

When war broke out between the nobility and peasants, house Azunja was hesitant to pick sides, as they disagreed with the morals of both sides. Their distant position in the wild made them capable of ignoring the war until its end, as the Hadii family was placed at the head of Adhomai in 2432. Carrying the flags of the newly founded People's Republic of Adhomai, the Republic's army demanded the surrender of all nobility in Kaltir. The entire populace requested to be left in peace, as the peasantry and nobility there had never declared war on one another. Believing the peasants were utterly spineless and brainwashed, the People's Republic executed all current nobles ruthlessly, scattering the royalty of the region. Vahzirthaamro was placed in prison by his father's retinue of intellectuals, who declared he had to remain hidden amongst the lowest of the low if he wished to stay alive. From that moment on, Vahzirthaamro Azunja knew that peace was impossible so long as a compromise was not made, and a true constitutional monarchy was made the unanimous government on Adhomai.

Word passed amongst the Tajara at the work camps about the possibility that Vahzirthaamro still lived as many pre-war intellectuals gathered with him in private. They spun every possibility of a government, even discussing adopting human political systems as they gathered workers, fighters, poets, and philosophers to form an organized nation as they spread their ideas to the guards of the facility, a majority of which who were old peasants under the Azunja family who thought the entirety of the nobility had been executed. Delighted to see his return, they joined his side and swore allegiance to his family once more.

In 2449, in the middle of the night, Vahzirthaamro was released in secret along with the entirety of his retinue, as they quickly spread from town to town, asking for assistance from newly appointed officials and workers. Before long, the reminiscent families of the Kaltir region were happy to rejoin their flock. By 2450 his claim to rule had spread to all of Northern Harr'masir, and the New Kingdom of Adhomai officially seceded as an independent nation under the newly declared King Vahzirthaamro Azunja. He then led the Kingdom for the next decade, managing the balance between the different factions within the government and the ongoing war. Vahzirthaamro became a unifying figure for the population. After successfully securing Kaltir's ancient lands and negotiating the armistice that brought the end to the war, King Vahzirthaamro passed away in 2463. His niece, Shumaila Azunja, inherited his throne.

===Queen Shumaila Azunja===

[[File:Shumaila portrait.png|200px|thumb|right| A portrait done of Queen Shumaila Azunja, holding the ceremonial orr'bu s'rrendar, circa 2460.]]
Shumaila Azunja was born in 2431 in Northern Harr’smirr, as the daughter of one of the kingdom’s princes. She survived the Republican slaughter by being hidden away among the peasantry, raised in secret by individuals still loyal to the old ruling dynasty. From a young age, Shumaila began to participate in secretive royalist circles within Kaltir. Here, she began her service to the kingdom by helping distribute leaflets proclaiming the coming of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. When the uprising broke out in 2450, she joined the new Imperial Adhomian Army. Shumaila then rose through the officer ranks quickly, becoming a commander in the Jabrut Almumalik and establishing a name for herself on the front.

Many of those who served under Shumaila describe her as being a woman of unbreakable will, never faltering as casualties stacked or as barrages shattered the ground around her. Some even say she wouldn’t even blink at the sight of the PRA’s dreaded tanks rolling towards the lines. For her exploits in the war’s 2459 offensive and the defense of the Vlrralkhzazhul line, Shumaila came to be known as “The Storm of Harr’smir”, matching her iron will with a burning fury to destroy the kingdom’s enemies.

In 2460, after meeting with several prospective heirs, King Vahzirthaamro had chosen his niece Shumaila to serve as the Crown Heir. Although the majority supported this decision alongside most of Parliament and the nobility, a large fraction remained wary of the decision of a military leader over other options. However, this opposition has shrunk over the past few years. Shumaila remains strong on her position of expanding the military, but she has also spoken about increasing ties to the galaxy’s Megacorporations to modernize the New Kingdom. Nor has she made any comments regarding changing the democratic systems of Parliament and the Chamber. Coupled with her public appearances and active presence in the newspapers, many woes and worries of her ascension have been dissuaded.

Since entering the public eye in 2459, Shumaila enjoys much support from the women of Kaltir. Many look to her as an inspiration, buying “military” style jackets to emulate her look, given that Shumaila became one of the few Tajara women to lead a nation. However, this fame has also led to calls from the nobility and her family to choose a husband. Shumaila retains that her marriage comes after her coronation. She was finally crowned in 2463 after King Azunja passed away. Outside of continuing her uncle's legacy, her plans to the Kingdom are still unclear to the wide public
[[File:Marshal portrait.png|200px|thumb|left| A portrait of Field-Marshal Zarkradar'Akhan, circa 2420.]]
===Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan===

Rrhazhal was born in '2380 to the noble Njarir’Akhran Zarkradar'Akhan line, however, he was a legitimized bastard of a Zhan-Kazan maid. As the youngest of his brothers, Rrhazhal was sent into the service of the Azunja family as King Farkhanzirhal Azunja's servant at the age of 10. King Azunja noticed the young child had a talent for philosophy and strategy. The two had many intellectual discussions together as Rrhazhal quickly became a trusted advisor of King Farkhanzirhal by the time he was 20. At this time, King Azunja decided he trusted Rrhazhal with protecting the life of the newly born Vahzirthaamro. On the eve of the First Civil War, Rrhazhal was tasked with training the peasantry of Kaltir in order to defend their fiefdom and nobility against attackers. When Kaltir was annexed by the People's Republic of Adhomai in 2432, Farkhanzirhal frenziedly ordered Rrhazhal to hide Vahzirthaamro before People's Republic soldiers stormed the palace, killing almost everyone. From then on Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan personally accompanied Vahzirthaamro Azunja as his protector and chief advisor.

In 2450, once the New Kingdom had officially declared independence from the People's Republic of Adhomai, Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan was promoted to the rank of Field-Marshal personally by King Azunja, and today oversees all military operations inside of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Respected for his tactical skill but notorious for his radical belief that a compromise is not possible and a complete return to the old nobility is Adhomai's only option for peace, Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan is one of the oldest fighting nobles left on Adhomai.

===Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas===

Hailing from a royal cadet line and born in 2402, Dynhaas followed his father and brothers to join the Das’nrra Empire’s navy at a young age. When the First Revolution came, naval losses coupled with the rebel conquest of Das’nnra resulted in Dynhaas, the last man left of his line, surrendering and being imprisoned. With the war’s end in 2432, Dynhaas was offered a pardon by the Party in exchange for developing the Republican Navy. He would come to accept this over the alternative of death.

Accepting his defeat and believing that the age of nobility came to an end, Dynhaas came to view the Republican Navy as his new purpose in life. He worked to advance it alongside other pardoned nobles and founded the Oceanmasters Lounge, a private club within the naval officer corps. This path in life would change with the announcement of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Believing that a way to restore the old glory days of kingdoms laid with the NKA, Dynhaas began to plan a revolt. Partnering with other sympathetic admirals, he had the Republican Navy’s Grand Admiral and several other loyalists killed on a fateful night at the Shastar Naval Base before fleeing eastwards in 2450. In the same year that the New Kingdom was declared, Dynhaas delivered them the strongest naval force Adhomai had ever seen. King Azunja had declared him the Kingdom’s Grand Admiral shortly after meeting with Dynhaas in Miran’mir.

With the Republican Navy's command almost crippled and the ALA unable to compete with their dominance of the sea, Dynhaas used his fleets during the war to support and supply the Royal Army while helping smash the enemies of the New Kingdom. The artillery barrages of his ships were important in coastal battles during the NKA's offensives while their supremacy saved the Royal Marines from certain destruction following the failed Ras'nrr expedition. The prestige of his position made Dynhaas an instant celebrity in the NKA as well. Many propaganda reels and photos showed him as a majestic lord of the sea, something he capitalized on heavily to present himself as the very pinnacle of noble glory. Always well-groomed, well-dressed, and impeccable at talking despite whatever circumstances he was in, Dynhaas never passed the opportunity to host an interview. Most notable was Dynhaas' interview on his opinions of xenos of the S'rand’marr coalition, conducted on his capital vessel while it sieged Nal'tor in the final stages of the war. His statements on Unathi and Skrell were less than positive. After the expulsion of the People's Republic from Harr'masir in 2461, Admiral Mahtra infamously ordered the Royal Navy to engage in an unrestricted bombardment campaign of the eastern Hadiist coast. Cities and villages were targets of frequent naval artillery strikes; the battleships shelled military and civilian targets indiscriminately. The Navy infamously used incendiary shells during these attacks, causing entire neighborhoods to be engulfed in firestorms.

Post-war, Dynhaas went on several speaking tours in the first year of the armistice. Traveling from city to city, his public events were used to promote his upcoming biography and drew crowds in the tens of thousands. Politically, he maintains that the future of the NKA always lies within the navy, and that the industry of the New Kingdom must always retain a heavy focus on their shipyards. Dynhaas has also been vocal in his beliefs of a stronger monarch, often using the emergency powers King Azunja had as an example of the strong benefits that could come with such. He is yet to comment at all on his supposed rival, Mira'zkui, at all.

===Grand Duke Akym Yudenikh===

Born in the Das'nrra Empire to a noble family in 2412, Akym Yudenikh survived the First Revolution by escaping to Northern Harr'masir and hiding his identity. After the Hadiist occupation of the Kingdom of Kaltir, Yudenikh joined the People's Republic bureaucracy; he became responsible for the administration of the local rail system. Akym was infamous for his corruption; he frequently sold permits, disregarded contraband reports, and accepted bribes.

Because of his background, Akym was contacted by the underground royalist movement. He quickly became one of the main supporters of the group; he used his position within the Hadiist government to secure supplies and funding for the incoming uprising. Weapons, machinery, and ammunition were diverted to the Royalist cells. Akym was awarded the title of baron, a seat in the parliament, and some land confiscated from the People's Republic when Vahzirthaamro returned. However, his ambitions did not stop there. Using the money made from his time as a Republican bureaucracy, alongside whatever profit he could extract from his new holdings, Yudenikh continued to acquire more estate. Newly liberated farms were sold to him at a meager price thanks to his connections within the government. In a question of years, he became a Grand Duke and one of the major landowners of the New Kingdom. Akym controversially used prisoners of war as workers in his plantations during the Second Revolution as part of deals with the military.

Following the Armistice, Akym Yudenikh now leads the Royalist Party; his main mission is to maintain the status quo. The continuation of the constitutional monarchy and the privileges of the nobility align perfectly with his interests. He is one of the major supporters of further deals with megacorporations. Grand Duke Akym is not afraid to use his position to protect his interest in the parliament. Under his vision, prosperity for the New Kingdom means more power and wealth to its elite.

===Prince Serhiy Oliinyk===

Born as the third son to a family of Njarir'Akhran in 2434, Serhiy Oliinyk's life was profoundly affected by events over which he had no control. Raised in a household of avid royalists supporters, Serhiy was exposed to his parents' ideology since his youth. However, the boy had his reservations in regards to the possible return of the monarchy; he doubted that they could truly avoid the mistakes of the past. For his support during the uprising in Northern Harr'masir, the patriarchy of the Oliinyk family was given a seat in the parliament, a title of nobility, and a modest tract of land. Serhiy mistakenly believed that he could escape his bloodline's obligation thanks to his status as the third child. He already had a passion in his life: playing the P'rrama.

The war was cruel to the Oliinyk. Serhiy's brothers were killed while serving the army. This put him in an uneasy position as the heir of a parliamentary seat. The growing debt forced his father to sell whatever land they had left; the Oliinyk had officially joined the ranks of landless nobility. The final blow came in 2459 with the bombing of the Parliament; Serhiy inherited his progenitor's seat after his demise in the attack. The young musician was thrown into the midst of the New Kingdom's politics. Influenced by his social status and beliefs, he aligned himself to the Commoners Party.

If he is truly unable to escape his fate, Prince Serhiy decided to make the best out of it. Because of his age and a family full of martyrs, Serhiy became the Commoners Party's main spokesperson. Convincing the Queen to support the Populists will not be easy; the Conservatives and Absolutists are far more powerful and influential. A powerful strategy is necessary to guarantee the Commoners Party triumph in the parliament. Serhiy plans to retire from politics after the hereditary parliamentary positions are abolished and the Kingdom is fairer to its population. He hopes to return to his greatest passion: music.

===Count Tscherim Sanguszkho===

Hailing from a cadet house of the Rrhakaslov dynasty, Tscherim Sanguszkho was born in 2433 shortly after his family escaped to Kaltir to avoid the First Revolution's massacres. He was raised on a small farm frequented by disposed nobles and royalist sympathizers. Sheltered from the rest of Adhomai, he grew only knowing the world only through the nostalgic tales of pre-contact Njarir'Akhran, The Sanguszkho family was quick to offer their support to King Azunja when he returned; the Tscherim's father was given a seat in the parliament. Tscherim became a low-ranking officer in the army.

Tscherim Sanguszkho's military career came to an end in 2460 when he was gravely wounded in combat. Taking advantage of his pension and family's position, Tscherim spent the next years in gentlemen's clubs. In these places, he entered into contact with radical Absolute Royalists and became deeply interested in [[Tajaran Minor Religions#Ancient Tajara Theory|esoteric beliefs]]. Tscherim founded his organization in 2462: the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity. Drawing inspiration from the stories of an idealized pre-First Contact society, the ideology known as Revival Royalism was born from the Fraternity's meetings. Posing as a regular club, Tscherim was able to introduce other nobles to his ideals. Knowing that the task of enforcing the old order was not an easy one, Sanguszkho chose a common enemy to unite the kingdom against: the Tajara of mixed heritage.

Tscherim's plan came to fruition when his father died in a car accident in 2463; he inherited a landed title, a state, and a seat in the Parliament. Shortly after, the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity opened its membership to the public and made its intentions clear. Thanks to a deal with the Officers and Royal parties, the Fraternity became the fourth faction in the Parliament. Despite being the leader of the smallest Party, Count Tscherim has already begun to plot to slowly introduce his ideology into the New Kingdom.

===Ser Mrakhanjurl Ii'rka===

Mrakhanjurl was born in 2422 in a Zhan-Khazan family in a small village outside Olska. He received little education nor traveled far outside his village. As soon as he came of age at 16 he joined the rest of the village mining bauxite ore to be shipped to Olska to make aluminum. He eventually lost both parents to lung cancer from the mine's poor ventilation before he was 23. In 2452, when he was 29, he traveled with a dozen other Zhan-Khazan miners several miles to Olska to join a protest against the new legislation of President Hadii that was meant to crack down 'subversive elements' that many felt were unfair to Zhan-Khazan. The army was called in and brutally repressed the demonstration, which saw Mrakhanjurl narrowly escape with his life. He returned to his village to find that it had been torched by the republican army for housing subversive agitators.

Mrakhanjurl mourned the loss of his village and was picked up by rebel militia, who revealed that they had managed to provide early warning to the village and evacuate over a dozen people, but the army had managed to find and kill all but a handful of survivors. In gratitude for the rebels dying for his village, and to avenge the deaths, Mrakhanjurl joined the armed resistance that eventually joined itself under the New Kingdom of Adhomai. In a very short few years became a remarkable marksman, gaining the most recorded kills of any Tajara sniper. Current New Kingdom estimates put Mrakhanjurl's kill count at 285, 32 of those enemy PRA snipers.

Mrakhanjurl also managed to evacuate countless civilians from Republic territory to northern New Kingdom holdings. During the famous ''Rout of the 2nd Battalion'', in which New Kingdom defenders unsuccessfully attempted to prevent Republican forces from capturing Baltor, Mrakhanjurl assumed command of the 4th Company after both its leading officers had been killed by sniper fire. Despite a serious gunshot wound to the leg Mrakhanjurl began shouting orders and rallied the shattered defenders, who were the last line of defense between the advancing Republic forces and thousands of refugees attempting to flee the city. The ''Rally of the 4th Company'' on 2456 successfully managed to delay advancing Republic troops long enough for thousands of more refugees to escape into New Kingdom territory who would otherwise face atrocity.

For his bravery and growing fame (which was now considered too important to risk in the war effort), Mrakhanjurl was given the Order of the Victorious Sun, the highest honor in the New Kingdom, as well as being the first Zhan-Khazan in history to be given the noble rank of Ser. He remains a hero to the Zhan-Khazan and the New Kingdom.

===King of the Mountains Rustam Harmaliik===
[[File:harmaliik portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the king in his riding regalia, done in 2454.]]
Rustam Harmaliik was born in 2427 as the son of a deposed Njarir'Akhran noble family. He spent most of his youth in the rural region of Harr'masir, where he had contact with some groups of Rhazar'Hrujmagh that inhabited the region. As an adult, he found employment in law enforcement and was sent by the People’s Republic to support the efforts to settle the rock nomads of the Harr’masir region in 2448 as a Republican official.

While working alongside the authorities to make sure that the nomadic Zhan would accept and adopt a sedentary lifestyle, Rustam grew more interested in their culture and became skeptical of the Hadii’s regime and how they were treating the Rock Nomads. Unrest among the Rhazar'Hrujmagh soon followed, and Rustam would try to offer his support in any way possible, such as sabotaging equipment shipment or relaying misleading intelligence. The government soon realized his treason, forcing Rustam to abandon his post and escape into the wilderness.

Rustam found shelter among a caravan of the Rhazar'Hrujmagh, and soon adopted their way of life. Unrest and resistance continued among the rock nomads, and Harmaliik joined their struggle against the People’s Republic. With the New Kingdom’s rebellion, the control of the region waned and the Republican efforts shifted to other problems, which allowed the nomad resistance to blossom into guerrilla warfare. Rustam climbed the ranks of his caravan’s forces, winning prestige and favor by leading them against the Republican forces.

The second revolution happened, and the Rhazar'Hrujmagh resistance continued. Rustam assumed the leadership of his adopted caravan and aimed to acquire more support among the other Rock Nomads. Through the years of the conflict, he gathered more men and wagons under his command, through diplomacy or conquest, but limiting himself to defensive tactics, ambushes, and raids. The political stance of Harmaliik has always been one of neutrality in the conflict, never compromising fully with the Adhomai Liberation army, due to his Njarir’Akhran origins and monarchist sentiments, and never declaring any support to the New Kingdom, in fear of losing the trust of his fellow nomads,

Due to a republican offensive against the nomadic guerrillas in 2461, Rustam decided to declare himself the Almalik’Rhazar, a word roughly translated as "leader of the mountains", following an ancient nomadic tradition that allows the largely independent Rock Nomad caravans to elect a ruler among themselves. This decision alienated him from his ALA allies and the other nomads, forcing him to side with the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Harmaliik and his caravans have joined the kingdom war effort. He and his people were later granted the southeast territories of the New Kingdom for their support during the conflict.

===Brother Mikhail Ordau===
Little is known about Mikhail Oradu’s parentage. He was given to the Parivara at a very young age, left on the doorstep of Miran'mir's abbey. Thus the Family took him in as they do many small children, teaching him and educating him about S’rendarr and Messa. Mikhail was an accomplished writer for his age, but a speech impediment left him at a disadvantage when it came to oral presentations. The boy was known to be bookish, and spent much of his free time in the abbey’s library as well as its restricted section, thanks to his close friendship with the abbot.

He had an unusual interest in the sciences for a clergyman. As the Second Revolution loomed ahead, and whispers of splitting from the Republic crept into the local city, he busied himself with reading and tending to the monastery’s garden. Eventually, Miran’mir and all of northern Harr’masir split from the Republic to form the New Kingdom. With the war came plenty of hardship, and the Priests of S’rendarr did their best to help alleviate the tragedy amongst the peasants.

With little farmable land and a severe manpower disadvantage, the New Kingdom struggled to provide for its people. Starvation was a very real threat, and the abbey’s garden was not sufficient. A conflicted Mikhail turned once again to the abbey’s library and science for an answer; and, as though a miracle from the Suns themselves, one came. He discovered an ancient text detailing breeding methods for slaves, from long before the First Revolution. Suggestions on how to pass on desirable traits and mannerisms; to breed subservience. Controversial, but an unknowing descriptor of genetics and hereditary traits.

It was armed with this knowledge that Mikhail set about breeding new plants. Earthen roots, dirt berries, and more were cultivated for generations by Mikhail, aiming to pass on traits like hardiness and vitality. The plants became much more accustomed to growing in harsh conditions thanks to his work, and as the New Kingdom pushed back the Republicans and gained more territory, these hardier plants were easier to grow in the shell-shocked muddy battlefields. The threat of starvation became less and less pressing as more and more farms could deal with the way the war affected the terrain. For his efforts, Brother Mikhail was afforded a personal audience with the King.

===Oleg Al'Mor===
Born Oleg Murkov Al-Al’Mori in 2400, Oleg was a teenager when humanity stumbled upon the Tajara. His simple life of working and indentured servitude was suddenly upended with the influx of new ideals; he and his family, along with a contingent of other refugees of war avoided the conflicts erupting across the planet by staying in the mountains of Northern Harr’masir. To pass the time and keep themselves entertained, the telling of fireside epics became common. Oleg was noted to be imaginative with his tales even then, regaling other Tajara with stories of war and love.

Eventually, however, the nomadic hunter-gatherer life in the mountains could no longer support their numbers, and Oleg’s group descended from their hiding place. By this point, rebel armies had mostly taken hold of Kal’tir and the surrounding areas, giving Oleg relative freedom. When the war finally came to an end in 2432, Oleg was well known as a traveling bard and performer who earned his living using his creative skills entertaining war-weary soldiers and newly freed slaves. The stability that came with the formation of the People’s Republic afforded Oleg the opportunity to settle down in Kal’tir once again, where he took an interest in the local theater scene.

His first play, The Jester’s End, pioneered the form of black comedy and was a throwback to the days of servitude. Over the course of his career in Kal’tir, Oleg penned many more plays under his pseudonym Oleg Al’Mor, out of fear of inviting reprisals from the People’s Republic. Oleg’s plays were often scandalous or controversial for challenging the traditional morality held by Tajara. However, as time went on, his works became formulaic and much less shocking, and thus by extension more palatable to the average Tajara. Black comedy found a good home amongst the countless war veterans of the First Revolution.

Oleg considered himself an intellectual, and when the New Kingdom of Adhomai split from the People’s Republic he was an outspoken supporter. He and his family had experienced the benefits of the old ways, and with his considerable wealth from play royalties, he financed the New Kingdom with donations. Sadly, Oleg Al’Mor passed away in December of 2460 after completing his final work. The play, titled A Maiden’s Voyage, was particularly well-received, with even the King himself getting a private showing. Many of his works are still performed in theaters all over the New Kingdom’s territory.

==Others==

===Father Valyan K'rrirran===

''"From the stars, he saw Adhomai's cities and mountains become nothing more than specks. When he beheld the planet from far away, he realized that it was a small dot within this vast new galaxy. It was then he saw how truly special our homeland and our people are."''

''-Father Valyan K'rrirran, written as the ending to the prologue in his novel "An Introduction to The Twin Suns", 2430.''

Born in 2406 to a family of merchants in Dras’nrra, Valyan chose to join the faith at a young age, and became a fully-fledged Priest of S'rendarr in the midst of the First Revolution. It was during this time that Valyan had also become one of the first few Tajara to leave Adhomai. Settling on Xanu Prime in 2426 and remaining there until the war’s end in 2431, Valyan provided much of the first glimpses into the theology of the Tajara during this time. He, later on, returned home after publishing his novel written in Tau Ceti Basic on the history of the S’rendarr and Messa. Following the Second Revolution, he had replaced Walid Al’qat as The Father of the Parivara after Al’qat died of heart failure. Since gaining his position in 2462 the new Father has already demonstrated to Adhomai that he is able to rise to the task of leading the Parivara. Alongside his archivers, he had revealed misinterpretations in the vows of the Suns Sisters and amended the Vow of Silence to the original Vow of Whispers.

The Father has kept this momentum of progress going forward. In the same year, he began to assist with several archeological digs across Adhomai to gather more information on not just the history of the Suns faith, but also of the Tajara people. Much of this collection is digitalized and shared through a newly developed site (Simply dubbed “Parivara and Tajara History.pra”.) made by an influx of well-educated acolytes. Now, any curious Tajara or alien can find a trove of information on the Parivara and new details on the species’ history. This mix of preserving old traditions alongside progressing aspects of the church has made Valyan popular among the younger generations of Tajara, kindling their interest in the faith.

However, Valyan is not free of controversy. Some conspiracy theorists believe that he could have had a hand in the death of the previous Father, citing the lack of provided medical care and the quick selection of Valyan as the new Father. Others point to his connection to the revitalized Kin of S’rendarr and believe him to be funding the Kin, supplying them with off-world equipment and arms to continue their war against whoever is deemed the faith’s enemy. Nonetheless, these are regarded as little more than baseless rumors by much of the population.

===Rikdar Al'Manq===

Rikdar was born on '''2429''' the noble Njarir’Akhran Bayan line in Nal'Tor, with Bayan being his birth name. However, his parents were disappeared by Republic secret police in one of the frequent purges of Njarir’Akhran and he was put into state-run foster care. He has raised in the ''House Of Young Patriots'' orphanage until he was adopted at 14 to Hharar parents and took their last name of Al'Manq. As he was going to school his parents and teachers immediately took notice of his artistic abilities and interest in painting, which the orphanage had initially tried to discourage. In 2446, when he was 18, Rikdar won an art contest where he submitted a portrait of his Environmental Geology teacher and gained a prestigious scholarship in the Nal'Tor University of The Arts, a state-funded institution.

Rikdar attended the university for several years, though his studies were sometimes interrupted or delayed by the periodic waves of anti-Njarir’Akhran demonstrations and violence that gripped the campus. However, he quickly became a prodigy amongst his peers. Al'Manq's style of oil painting and doing portraits became a sensation in the capital, with the mayor and several city officials requesting their portraits done. Rikdar graduated from university at 20 years old in '''2450''' with a Bachelor of Arts. Having already received several high-profile commissions, including the then-President Al'Mari Hadii, whose portrait was done a week before his death. Al'Manq managed to survive the resulting chaos across Adhomai following the assassination of Al'Mari Hadii by the nature of his celebrity status, but his popularity remains confined within the major cities.

At only 29 years old in '''2458''' the ''Al'Manq Style'' has already become a famous style of painting across Adhomai. The Al'Manq Style is noted for its use of rich oil-based paint that focuses on portraits and profiles. The colors are often bold or show rich texture and color. The hands of Tajara are painted without being anatomically correct. Critics blast Al'Manq's apparent inability to draw hands correctly but Rikdar has stated that it's his personal style. This has influenced other artists, and many attempting to pay homage to Al'Manq draw hands as stubby. Rikdar remains extremely popular on Adhomai. The People's Republic remains a quiet supporter of his work, and state officials pay him handsome commissions for their portraits to be done, though they frown on him taking commissions from New Kingdom officials as well. The Adhomai Liberation Army has painted Rikdar as just another nobleman and several members of the Liberation Army have given open contempt for his work.

===Bloodstorm===

Bloodstorm is a famous and infamous DPRA Heavy Metal Band that has surged in popularity with the younger “denier” generation. Those in this generation are categorized by their refusal of modern Tajara convictions but also human influences, instead of turning to their roots.

====Vargir Stenovich “Godslayer”====

The lead guitarist of the group, Vargir Stenovich is known as the spokesperson of the band and the most controversial figures. Admitting to being a Raskara cultist in public and calling out the Parivara on their “bedding with the government”. Vargir has been involved in numerous scandals including protesting military parades, playing one of his songs next to a work camp without permission, and lastly ingesting drugs on live television and proceeding to slander the ALA for bombing the NKA parliament.

====Janos Al-Lung “Drowner”====

Janos is the bassist of Bloodstorm and the only band member without a criminal record. He has frequently butted heads with Stenovich over the political extremities the band goes through to discredit not only PRA and NKA but also DPRA.

====Al-Atil Csihar “Nightmaster”====

The vocalist, Al-Atil, is known for his “mrowl”, a high, long, yelp that is recorded as the loudest sound produced by a Tajara. He loves to interact with the public and often stays behind on the podium to sign autographs and fans, the latter of which he uses black spray paint.

====Cecil Kernov “Bloodletter”====

Cecil is the Drummer and has the longest time served behind bars. Kernov has his nickname for a reason as he’s been charged with armed assault. He had brutally assaulted a fan who had climbed on stage with a drum, getting it stuck on said Tajara’s head and pushing him off the stage with a dropkick.

====The Mist “Mih”====

A yet unknown band member by the public, “Mih” remains anonymous always wearing a mask in public and never speaking. He plays the P'rrama, an old Tajara string instrument, with 8 strings mirrored in a long horn-like pipe that extends to the ground which emits a loud, brass twanging noise described as an over-amped guitar.

'''Most Notable Albums Include:'''

The Freezing Blizzard - An early, traditional album, mediocre without the employment of the P'rrama.

War Is Fuck, Let's Do It - The core most popular album drawing similarities between war and love.

If Messa Was Here She'd Be a Whore - First anti-Parivara album created, criticizing their ignorance towards women and discrimination of female priests.

We Live in a Society - WLiaS describes pure hatred of every single faction present not even sparing Sol or Tau Ceti.

Shell In, Spine Out - Another anti-war album, describing the life of a dying soldier.

S'rrendar Loves You Except He Doesn't - Repeated hatred of Parivara, slander, and is famous for having a recording of Cecil attacking a fan with the drum.

If You're Old You Should Die - Scolding critique of the old leading system and a call for the younger generation to disregard the politicians and tear it all down.

[[Tajara|Tajaran]] history and society has a long list of notable individuals and heroes that are known across [[Adhomai]].

==People's Republic==

''"Comrades, in this struggle we fight to protect the progress we have fought so hard to make in the preceding decades. Our march forever onwards for a Hadiist society must not be stopped by the usurpers who would see us become a brutish military dictatorship, nor those fetid imperialists who would restore the atrocities of the old ways."''

''- President Njadrasanukii Hadii, in a televised address to the people in 2452.''
===President Njadrasanukii Hadii===

[[File:Hadii portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the president, done in 2460.]]
Njadrasanukii Hadii, also known as Malik Hadii, was born in '''2402''' to the noble Njarir'Akhran Hadii line. His mother was Rajjurl Hadii, and his father Tajrhalrr Hadii. He got involved with the military at an early age, becoming a cadet for the Royal Navy at 16 and achieving a commission as a Lieutenant-Commander at 22, and leading his own destroyer as a Captain at 29. During the revolution, he briefly fought for the loyalists but was recalled to the Hadii Citadel to help defend his family's ancestral home. Following the revolution and the Hadii's rise in the new Federal Republic, Njadrasanukii was given the office of Vice-President under his brother Al'Mari Hadii.

Malik assumed the presidency in '''2451''' after the assassination of Al'mari. He continued his brother's early agenda of collaborating with NanoTrasen and other galactic powers. Njadrasanukii purged any suspicious elements from his administration after the Nated's coup, consolidating his power through the imprisonment and execution of anyone that threatened his regime. Further authoritarian measures were established by him; the expansion of the secret police, the rapid industrialization of the PRA, and further persecution against those who did not conform to his policies. Under Malik Hadii's control, the current form of Hadiism took shape; an ideology focused on the creation of a monolithic Tajaran culture under the unquestionable guidance of the Hadii political line. The office of the president had its powers largely expanded under his rule, allowing Njadrasanukii to control all aspects of the People's Republic government. Total loyalty to Njadrasanukii is expected from all Party members.

A state-endorsed cult of personality has been established around President Hadii. Through a robust propaganda system, republican citizens are informed daily about Malik's achievements and how only through his guidance the Republican can prosper. Portraits of President Hadii can be found in most Hadiist homes and government buildings. Njadrasanukii is known for his speeches praising his own administration and the bravery of his people; his voice can be heard frequently on the radio. While many admire him as a strong leader, others fear his ruthless ways of dealing with the opposition.

President Hadii is famous for his extreme paranoia. Very few high-ranking members of the Party have direct access to him and little is known about his private life. He is constantly surrounded by hand-picked members of the secret service; those bodyguards are always under the risk of being purged for any reason. It is rumored that he has survived more than three hundred assassination attempts.

Despite the outcome of the Second revolution, Njadrasanukii continues to rule the People's Republic with an iron grip. He did not give up his plans of reestablishing Hadiist hegemony over Adhomai.
[[File:headmaster portrait.png|200px|thumb|left|A rare picture of the camera shy Tyr'adrr, taken during the closure of an illegal protest, dated to 2459.]]
===Headmaster Harrrdanim Tyr'adrr===

Harrrdanim was born in '''2425''' to a M'sai family serving the Hadii during the First Revolution. Wishing to follow in the footsteps of his parents, he joined the Hadiist Party at a young age. He soon caught the attention of the People's Strategic Intelligence Service due to his craftiness and was given a position in the agency. Despite enjoying moderate success during the late years of Al’mari’s rule, Tyr'adrr rose to prominence after the President’s assassination. Leading several purges within the secret service, he was able to secure a promotion as the Headmaster after the previous head was arrested for suspicious behavior. Under Tyr’addr’s control, the PSIS became the feared terror machine it is today. Heavy investments in surveillance technology, the establishment of a robust web of informants, and the large-scale repression of political opponents greatly weakened the opposition in the People’s Republic. His supposed adventures during this period have spawned an entire "spy thriller" genre in the Republic.

After helping secure President Hadii's rule, Headmaster Harrdanim focused his efforts on fighting the Liberation Army and the New Kingdom. Ruthless anti-partisan campaigns were carried out under his supervision. The displacement of Chaniska’s native population, scorched-earth tactics in Northern Ras'nrr, and the creation of Try'urma Penitentiary were among some of his orders during the conflict. His actions during the Second Revolution earned him the reputation of being merciless and bloodthirsty. In spite of several assassination attempts, ALA agents failed to murder him and he continued his reign of terror unimposed.

Even after the Armistice, Headmaster Harrdanim continues to work tirelessly to undermine the enemies of the Republic. He has a large interest in securing the Tajara population living outside of Adhomai and is responsible for the PSIS presence in District Six. He is eager to suggest more authoritarian solutions and believes in increasing, even more, the state’s control over the population. Because of the role of the Strategic Service in the government, Tyr'adrr is one of the most powerful and hated Tajara in the People's Republic. While seemingly loyal to President Hadii, many in the Party fear where Tyr'adrr's ambition might lead him.

===Party Secretary Yakiv Hadii===

Yakiv Hadii was born in '''2412''' as the second cousin to President Hadii. While too young to take part in the First Revolution, Yakiv joined the Hadiist Party as soon as he could. During Njadrasanukii’s rule, he excelled as a bureaucrat due to his organizational skills. He managed the distribution of land and the establishment of communal farms during the Republican Agrarian reforms. Through a combination of political maneuvers and nepotism, he quickly climbed the Party's ranks. Yakiv sought to further the Republican relationship with NanoTrasen, seeking their support for the development of Adhomai. This stance caused him to lose Al’mari’s favor during the years leading to the Second Revolution. He was then demoted to an unimportant position in the Ministry of Agriculture.

Yakiv returned to prominence after Rhagrrhuzau’s assassination; he was seen as a way to link Malik’s rule to his now-deceased brother. Following the abolishment of the office of vice-president, Yakiv was promoted as the Party Secretary by Njadrasanukii. He became responsible for the internal organization and reviewing applications to the Party; he was quick to remove many of his political opponents from power using his new powers. Known as unquestionably loyal to President Hadii, he became infamous for being nothing but a yes man. He continued his policy of maintaining good relations with megacorporations, lobbying for more deals with NanoTrasen. Countless Tajara were given the opportunity to leave Adhomai due to his efforts, most sold as cheap labor while some others were able to acquire higher education. During the final stages of the war, he was one of the main proponents of the need for foreign intervention to save the People's Republic.

After the Armistice, Yakiv remained as Party Secretary. He is one of the closest advisors to President Hadii, helping Malik in matters related to internal and external affairs. Despite being an orthodox Hadiist, he is eager to push for changes to appease NanoTrasen and other foreign powers in an attempt to gain their support. Many within the Party see Yakiv as a power-hungry and untrustworthy politician, eager to abuse his power to reach what he wants. Others recognize him as a cunning politician with a rather dangerous influence over President Hadii.

===Minister of Defense Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar===

Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar was born into a Hharar peasant family in '''2428'''. He was raised around veterans of the first revolution and was always interested in their stories. Owing to the new opportunities brought by the People’s Republic, Irbaykhan enrolled in a military academy and joined the Grand People's Army as an officer. He survived the purges of the early Hadiist government because of his political reliability; as he was one of the first army leaders to support President Hadii during his ascension. This left him in the privileged situation of being one of the few properly trained officers at the dawn of the Nated’s coup.

Irbaykhan quickly climbed the ranks of the Republican Army during the Second Revolution. Making extensive use of artillery and motorized troops, he secured early victories that gave much-needed breathing room to the fragile Republic. While in command of the Dymtris Front in '''2456''', he pushed the New Kingdom into the defensive position that they would remain in until the very end of the war. Mirarkiizar’s final promotion during the conflict was to the theater commander of the Rass’nrr Military District. With the help of the alien allies of the Republic, he managed to recapture the main region of the continent. He was given a seat in the Ministry of Defense after the Armistice, working alongside the upper echelons of the Party to refine the Republic’s strategy.

Unlike most members of the Ministry of Defense, Irbaykhan has both political connections and practical experience in the field. This combination has made him one of President Hadii’s closest advisors in regard to military matters. Currently, he is responsible for the Hro'zamal campaign. Mirarkiizar sees the Grand People's Army as an essential component of the Hadiist state; the ever-vigilant guardian of the Republic against its enemies. The Minister believes that strict discipline and union towards a common goal is the best way to safeguard the future of the People’s Republic.

===Minister of Technology Zhuldyz Hadii===

Born in '''2420''' to the Hadii dynasty, Zhuldyz enjoyed the many privileges granted to her family. She grew up fascinated by the new technologies brought by human contact; she would spend hours tinkering and dismantling electronics during her childhood. Later she was sent to study in prestigious Solarian universities, where she ventured into the field of robotics. Zhuldyz returned to Adhomai in 2449 and was granted a post in the Ministry of Technology.

Using the knowledge acquired off-world, Zhuldyz drew plans with the objective of modernizing the Republic through a technological revolution. The rapid industrialization aided by mechatronics would bring prosperity to the Tajara. While many of her initial projects were abruptly interrupted by Rhagrrhuzau's assassination, she remained in her position due to being a member of the Hadii dynasty. The unstable early years of Njadrasanukii’s presidency were unfavorable towards her dreams; stopping Nated’s coup and the Royalist uprising were top priorities at the time. However, as the frontlines stagnated and a semblance of normalcy returned to the People’s Republic, Zhuldyz had the chance to convince President Hadii of her plans. Knowing that losing the war would put an end to her pursuits, she turned her genius to the military field. Victory could be achieved through technological superiority. She was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Hadii Institute of Orbital Research|Hadii Institute of Orbital Research]], the expansion of the [[Tajara_Space_Capability#PRA_Army_Wing|Orbital Fleet]], and the creation of the Tesla Brigade. Zhuldyz was promoted to the office of the Minister of Technology shortly before the Armistice.

The Adhomian Cold War became the perfect testing ground for Zhuldyz's projects. She sees the period of peace as an opportunity to turn the People's Republic into a technological powerhouse. Zhuldyz believes that the future of Hadiism lies in science and that the Republic must become advanced enough to subjugate its enemies. Minister Hadii is not interested in ethical or safe research; she is eager to pursue dangerous and questionable experiments. No price is too small to pay during the march of progress. President Hadii gave Zhuldyz near uncontested authority to lead the Ministry of Technology. She was the mind behind the creation of the first independent robotic factory on Adhomai.

===Secretary of the Navy Hura'zhi Mira'zkui===

Born in '''2422''' to an exiled line of minor nobility from the Zatushka Kingdom, Mira’zkui grew up in the chaos of the First Revolution as the armies of the Hadiist rebels marched across Adhomai. When the dust had settled, despite his personal wishes to enter the party itself, his family would convince him to uphold their old traditions and join the forming Republican Navy in '''2447'''. It was then that Mira’zkui met Dynhaas and joined the Oceanmasters Lounge.

During the chaos of Dynhaas’ defection in '''2450''', Mira’zkui narrowly avoided his own death. Informed early by a loyal lieutenant that his own crew was plotting to kill him, Mira’zkui fled in a lifeboat and watched as his fellow officers were thrown screaming from the decks of their own ships. A few days later, he was found on the shores of Ras’nrr. As the Republic fell into chaos, Mira’zkui returned to the Republican Navy as Secretary, entrusted by Malik Hadii to fight against the pirate flotillas of the ALA and the Royal Navy. However, Mira’zkui’s loyalty was not able to make up for his inexperience. While the last of the Liberation Army’s pirate vessels were sunk, he was unable to contend with the strength of the Royal Navy and unable to achieve his personal desire: Capturing or killing Dynhaas.

Post-War, Mira’zkui has largely become reclusive and withdrawn from the public eye. While he continues to try and develop the Republican navy, Mira’zkui is forced to contend with funding going towards the projects of the Orbital Navy and Grand People’s Army. With a relationship of mutual dislike between himself and Zhuldyz Hadii, many within the party believe that Mira’zkui will likely be replaced eventually. How he would react to being denied any chance for revenge against Dynhaas is something no one knows.

===Chief Naval Commander Samirro Qarrarhaz===

Born in Northern Ras’nrr in '''2407''', Samirro was the son of a loyal M'sai general in the Hadii Hegemony. Qarrarhaz's family raised and taught him to follow in his father’s footsteps. He would become an artillery officer in '''2428''', finding great success during combat against monarchist groups through using extensive shelling to force and flush out the enemy. By '''2431''' Qarrarhaz was moved into Southern Harr’masir to prepare for an invasion of the Kingdom of Kaltir. His artillery crews were among those who scoured the Kingdom following its surrender, shelling whatever villas, castles, and manors they had found. A staunch ally of Al’mari Hadii and his family, Qarrarhaz has always stood by the Hadii family and the republic they had later built.

While also providing training for future artillery commanders in the interwar period, Qarrarhaz became part of a committee formed by President Al’mari Hadii to plan and prepare a space fleet for the PRA. He, along with other committee members, traveled to the Coalition of Colonies' planets of Xanu Prime and Himeo to observe anti-piracy operations in order to better develop the PRA’s own future space warfare doctrine in '''2452'''. When the Orbital Fleet was completed by '''2457''', Qarrarhaz was appointed Chief Naval Commander by President Malik Hadii. Since then, he has won numerous victories against piracy, smugglers, and even bested a [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/?do=findComment&comment=114422 Sol cruiser].

Post-war, Qarrarhaz continues to lead his spaceships and Kosmostrelki in the defense of the PRA’s claimed space. Comfortable and experienced in his position, Qarrarhaz has begun to speak more on the future of the PRA’s ventures into space. Controversially, the Commander has stated that the PRA must eventually extend its hand to the numerous small colonies and off-worlder communities dotting the frontier around them. Arguing that Hadiism’s light must be spread beyond Tajara, it is his belief that the PRA must one day uplift these groups from their poverty and absorb them into the state.

===Minister of Education Kalim Khazdar===

Kalim Khazdar was born in '''2430''' to a family of Hharar foremen in the city of Tampiska. Deemed a bright child by his teachers, he was sent to study in Al'marii. Captivated by the tales of progress and prosperity brought by the interwar period, Kalim enrolled at the Al'marii College of Hadiist Sciences. He continued his studies intending to become a college teacher. During his time as a student, he became a good friend and protégé of the rector of the university, Mahir Hadii. His friendship with a member of the political dynasty opened many doors for him.

Kalim joined the Hadiist party during the Second Revolution. He later visited Tau Ceti to study the Adhomian community there; his experiences in District Six deeply affected his ideas. He saw all the social problems that those who lived under the megacorporation rule were subject to. Instead of losing faith in Hadiism, he started to believe that reforms were necessary to save the People's Republic; NanoTrasen should be a means to an end, not the end itself. Kalim returned to Adhomai in 2459 and became a college professor. Thanks to his connections, he soon got involved with the administration and politics of the university. His papers on the subject of Hadiist education were generally well-received by the academia.

With the Armistice of Shastar, Kalim Khazdar aligned himself to the Young Hadiist faction; his sympathy towards the movement was largely unknown to the Party. His ascension to the position of Minister of Education in 2463 was the result of a confidential deal between his mentor and President Hadii. Despite being considered a powerless and inexperienced politician by the other members of the Hadiist cabinet, Kalim is not to be underestimated. Cunning will be necessary to avoid the wrath of President Hadii and his lackeys. The path to a truly free People's Republic will be a long and difficult one.

===Yasmin Piaf===

[[File:Yasminp.jpg|150px|thumb|right|A piece of a poster, promoting Yasmin Piaf's concern, 2463.]]
Yasmina Burokov, aka Yasmin Piaf, was born in 2434 in the suburbs of Nal'tor to a particularly well-off Njarir'Akhran family. Yasmin's father, Boris Burokov was a low-ranking State department official and devout loyalist of the People's Republic. She spent her childhood being educated in the best State-run schools their family could afford and enjoyed relative wealth and prosperity far from the poorer outskirts of the city.

Even from a young age, Yasmin was interested in music. She was part of her school's choir and participated in several nationwide contests for the honor of singing for President Rhagrrhuzau Hadii. The all-female 'Band of Njarir Maidens' consisting of Yasmin and her classmates eventually won and sang for the President and other members of his cabinet at the end of the annual military parade held in Nal'tor. Eventually, she graduated and went on to the Academy of Musical Arts with a full scholarship.

Talent scouts pruning the burgeoning academy's student pool for the next starlet eventually discovered Yasmin during rehearsals for the school's upcoming musical, and she signed a tentative deal with the small publication Vostak Recordings. Her first record, simply titled The Man in Rouge, was released with minimal fanfare. Given that she had sung a small solo during her performance for the President, some Tajara recalled her name.

Yet her voice, described by some as angelic and innocent, found purchase with an aging generation of Tajara who wished a brief return to peaceful normalcy following the First Revolution. Her dedication to the traditional pop standard and recognition for torch songs eventually elevated her to the status of a household name, with her recording label releasing hit after hit. As a result, Yasmin Piaf has become one of the most famous singers in the modern era - one who has fostered a close relationship with State officials. She is one of the few artists who are approved to be played on State radio KGTW-11.

===Andrey Borisov===

Out of all the Tajara that one could argue embody loyalty to the People’s Republic, perhaps none are more memorable than Andrey Alexander Borisov. In the average Republican household, his name is just as common as President Hadii’s, owing to the fact that he is the face of State propaganda and news network RAFИ. Born in 2416 to a line of M’sai warriors, Andrey was not even two years old before humanity stumbled across Adhomai and lit the flame that ignited the First Revolution.

Andrey’s father and uncle were killed in the uprising, leaving him, his mother, and his sister alone to fend for themselves. His mother curried favor with the local rebel leader when their town fell to the onslaught of war; she became his concubine and, later, his wife. The ever-advancing front saw Andrey moved from home to home, where the young M’sai would often spend time talking to soldiers recovering after harsh fighting. They nourished a sense of patriotism in him, and eventually, he came to see the First Revolution as necessary for the future of the Tajara.

The war ended in 2432, when he was merely 16 years old. As the newly founded People’s Republic began the arduous transition from a movement to a government, Andrey’s connections with the upper echelon of PRA politicians bore fruit. He was taken on as a member of an officer’s general staff, headquartered in Nal’Tor, where he served as little more than a glorified secretary. His position put him in contact with the elite, however, and many found him charming and personable. His silver tongue earned him the interest of Dmitrys Marakov, the owner of the only State-approved television station at that point in time.

His ascension from lowly secretary to the major news anchor for RAFИ was one that involved plenty of political maneuvering, money - and, rumored by some, violence - but ultimately Andrey had proved his loyalty to the political elite of the People's Republic and he was rewarded with the honor of being their mouthpiece. As a result, no Tajara on Adhomai can go very long without seeing his smiling face on their television set, spinning the next story or cover-up at the behest of the State.

==Democratic People's Republic==

''"We are soldiers. We are fighters. We are war. We have forsaken the corrupt and decaying corpse of the xeno-loving People's Republic. We have left our homes and our families, but our cause is righteous. The suns are with us! The vile usurper of my friend and comrade Al'mari will have justice delivered to him! We will spill the blood of our enemies until our struggles are seen and heard, and we WILL retake OUR Republic!"

''- Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan, the day after the coup de tat began, 2451.''

===Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan===
[[File:Nateed portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A surprise picture of Nated, taken in 2458.]]
Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan was born in '''2404''' to a M'sai family under the service of the Hadii Dynasty. The son of a royal guard, Nated interacted with many Njarir children in his early life. He grew to resent their narcissism but was prepared to inherit his duty nonetheless. When the First Revolution ignited in '''2421''', Halkiikijr fought for the loyalists alongside the Hadii family. Becoming a battle-brother of Rhagrrhuzau Hadii, or better known as Al'Mari Hadii, Nated stood with the Hadii’s decision to abandon their royal roots and join the revolutionaries. When the war ended Al'Mari was sworn into office, Halkiikijr was made a Commander in Chief of the Republican Army in return for his service.

Al'Mari supposedly made promises of swearing-in Halkiikijr as the next president of the People's Republic once the political climate on Adhomai had stabilized. The legitimacy of this claim is not known, but what is known is that Al'Mari was assassinated during a military parade in '''2451''' and Njadrasanukii Hadii, vice president of the People's Republic, swore himself in as the successor of the presidency. Outraged at the assassination and accusing Njadrasanukii of treachery against the People’s Republic, Nated organized a coup against Malik. Bringing together military commanders dissatisfied with the new Hadiist policies, Halkiikijr created the Adhomai Liberation Army to dethrone the new President. He then took the title of Supreme Commander.

As the putsch attempt was thwarted by the Hadiist forces, Nated fled to Shastar City. The coup then turned into a full-blown civil war between the Liberation Army and the People’s Republic. Without off-world help, Nated called to arms anyone willing to support his cause. His movement became a unifying front to all kinds of elements opposing President Hadii; from democratic reformers to extremists fighting to free Adhomai from alien influence. For a decade, Halkiikijr led the Liberation Army as an effective opposing force against the People’s Republic and the New Kingdom. He favored the extensive use of irregular warfare coupled with the deployment of the army to secure decisive battles. A cult of personality formed around Halkiikijr; extremists claimed that he was a prophet sent by the Gods. The Supreme Commander took advantage of this belief to cultivate undying loyalty and fanaticism among his followers.

Believing that the territories under his control were ready for a democracy modeled after the Al'mariist principles, Nated's undisputed rule came to an end with the creation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai. Halkiikijr retired from his position as Supreme Commander to prevent a coup against the newly elected president. His retirement did not last long; he returned to power because of the Amohdan crisis in '''2462'''. Nated was given back the control of the Liberation Army and its remaining juntas to retake the Island of Amohda. After this display of weakness, Halkiikijr is unsure if the DPRA is truly ready to rule Adhomai. For him, the ALA is now more essential than before. Nated also faces infighting between his two right-hand men; commander Kahan and Kyff.

===Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad===

Kahan Hro'rammhad was born in '''2412''' to a Hharar family as their oldest children. A peasant from birth in the region of Southern Harr'masir, he was taught the traditional values of S'rendarr and Messa by his deeply religious parents. His childhood was cut short by the outbreak of the First Revolution; his family was expelled from their lands by the war. Thanks to its flat terrain, Southern Harr’masir saw the first deployment of armored vehicles in the conflict; trains, civilian cars, and trucks were outfitted for warfare by the rebels. Hro’rammhad joined the crew of an armored car as soon he turned 14 years old. Because of the high mortality among the revolutionaries, Kahan quickly found himself in the command of his own brigade. He became famous for his excellent use of the vehicles’ speed to encircle the enemy, and for his merciful nature. Monarchists soldiers were always given the chance of joining his side after capture. Hro’rammhad also forbade unnecessary executions and mistreatment of prisoners among his fighters.

Commander Kahan and his brigade were incorporated into the Hadiist faction shortly before the end of the First Revolution. As a member of the Republican Army, he was a major proponent of the transformation of the People’s Army into a motorized force. Tank brigades and motostrelki units were created under his supervision. Kahan funded the reconstruction of many temples destroyed during the revolution and frequently donated to charity through the interwar period. Hro’rammhad joined Nated’s coup due to his profound disagreement with Malik’s policies; he saw the oppression of the Zhan-Khazan as morally corrupt. Armored units that defected alongside him were organized into the Hro'rammhad Tank Corps under his command.

Hro'rammhad remained a merciful and pious Tajara through the Second Revolution. He rejected the notion of irregular warfare and continued to offer mercy to his enemies. As the leader of the main armored force in the Liberation Army, Kahan played an important role in decisive battles. This position allowed him to become a right-hand man for Nated. As part of his religiousness, Hro'rammhad considered the conflict to be a battle to protect the faith against the innate atheism of Hadiism. Religious imagery and motifs became common among his Tajara. The men under Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad are known to have the utmost respect for his bravery and mercy, most even going so far as to worship him as an embodiment of S'rendarr's justice. His success during the civil war earned him the nickname of “Undefeated Commander''.

Despite the armistice, Commander Kahan remains as one of the second-in-command for Halkiikijr. He is an avid supporter of the transition to democracy, advocating for the dismantlement of the juntas. This position earned him many enemies among the more authoritarian elements within the Liberation Army. He is known to despise Commander Kyff Hotak for his tactics and personality. Both Tajara are currently engaged in an internal struggle to consolidate their influence over the Liberation Army.

===Commander Kyff Hotak===

Born in the year '''2406''' to a family of Zhan-Khazan miners in the Trizar, Kyff Hotak was supposedly destined to slave away for his Njarir master as his ancestors did for many generations. To avoid this fate, Hotak fled his home as a young Tajara. He ran into the wilderness until he found a bandit camp. Because of his age, the brigands decided to adopt Kyff as the group’s mascot. The boy grew up witnessing all kinds of crime and violence; later taking part in the band’s activity when old enough. The bandits sided with the rebels during the First Revolution in search of plunder. But their greed was their undoing; the criminals were massacred by the revolutionaries after they were discovered stealing rations. Hotak survived by being the one to report the activities of his previous comrades. As the war dragged on, Kyff became more bold and cruel in his revolutionary activities. He frequently engaged in assassinations, massacres, and false flag operations to crush the monarchists’ morale. Hotak was soon feared by his comrades and hated by his enemies. To him, everything was permissible to achieve victory. Impressed by the victories of the Hadii faction, he joined them as part of the early Ha'narr Corps.

The interwar period was fairly unremarkable for Kyff Hotak; he was given a low-ranking office position in the intelligence department. While Hotak advocated for the recreation of a force similar to the Mountain Ghost Corps, his request was ignored by the Hadiist high command. Memories of his excess in the First Revolution stopped Hotak from receiving any further promotions. He grew discontent with the People’s Republic, believing that he deserved more for his service. Seeing Nated's coup as an opportunity to rise to power, Kyff defected to the Liberation Army without hesitation.

Hotak organized his own unit of commando early into the war; a battalion trained in stealth operations. As a major proponent of irregular warfare, he also helped organize guerilla cells and coordinate terrorist attacks. The success of these groups granted him enough influence to become one of Nated's right-hand men. However, Commander Kyff quickly returned to his old ways; he started to wage a campaign of unrestrained terror. The presence of his soldiers became a harbinger of indiscriminate persecution, murder, excessive property requisition, and collective punishment against any community suspected of working with the enemy. Despite the protest of the civilian population and Commander Kahan, Halkiikijr refused to replace Kyff. Taking advantage of his reputation, Hotak ordered his Tajara to spread stories of him being the earthly manifestation of Messa's wrath. This tactic proved to be effective both among his enemies and allies.

Commander Kyff Hotak remains in service even after the armistice. Many within the army and the civilian administration desire to see Hotak punished for his war crimes, but Supreme Commander Nated continues to protect him. Kyff is a hardline supporter of the more authoritarian elements in the government and desires a strong centralized leadership above all else. He and Commander Hro'rammhad are rivals; both Tajara commonly fight each other over which direction the Liberation Army should go. Hotak is always accompanied by his pet [[Adhomai#Farwa (Tree-Hopper)|Farwa]], Ghiyath.

===President Almrah Harrlala===
[[File:harrlala portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the president during one of her speeches, done in 2461.]]
President Almrah Harrlala was born in '''2426''' to a family of Hharar factory workers in Shastar City. While her childhood was relatively unaffected by the First Revolution, she enjoyed many of the benefits brought by the People’s Republic during the interwar period. Being the first member of her household to receive a proper education, she became involved in the Party’s politics at a considerable young age. She believed that a stable democracy built upon the will of the people was the best path for Adhomai. She was also wary of the presence of megacorporations on the planet, considering their activities as harmful to the development of the Tajara species She campaigned for more worker’s rights and laws restricting corporation’s activities in the PRA. Almrah held a position within the Party until the ascension of President Njadrasanukii Hadii; he ordered the arrest of Harrlala due to her views.

Harrlala was held prisoner in Shastar during the first moments of the Civil war, only the capture of the city by the Liberation Army saved her from being transferred to another location. Hoping to continue her career in politics, she aligned herself with the rebels. Even if the despotic and extremist tendencies of the ALA worried Almrah, she held to Nated's promise of saving the Republic. She was given the position of Provisional Minister of Civil Rights when the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai was established.

As the Minister of Civil Rights, Almrah worked to protect the regional identities present in the DPRA. Her campaign to end military rule over the country while still upholding the principles of Al’mariism made her a popular figure among the moderate sectors of the population. Seeking to expand her political influence, she founded the National Adhomai Worker's Party. She was one of the candidates in the presidential elections of '''2460'''; she won the office of president by a narrow margin. President Harrlala’s ascension to power displeased the authoritarian wing of the Liberation Army, the military then planned a coup to restore their own rule. The putsch was stopped by the intervention of Supreme Commander Nated, who later resigned from his position to grant more powers to the civilian administration.

Following the Armistice, President Almrah Harrlala continued with her internal policies while maintaining a strong stance against foreign dominance. Under her rule, schools to preserve local cultures and languages were established, Gakal’zaal was liberated from the Unathi rule, and the DPRA developed its nuclear program. Her status as one of the first female rulers in modern Tajaran history has inspired many women to engage in DPRA politics. However, her regime is plagued with deep issues. The ghost of separatism lingers over the nation after the Amohdan attempt to secede. Her ability to reconcile the various factions in the government was severely doubted when she failed to draw a plan to handle the rebellious island. Since the return of Halkiikijr to power, the authoritarian elements see this as a moment of weakness in the young Republic. President Harrlala must be ready to face further opposition if she wants to see her vision of Adhomai come to life.

===Ex-interim President Brajrr Alnadruskiy===

Born in '''2423''' in the city of Mztel’mir, Brajjr Alnadruskiy was the youngest child of a family of brewers. He later joined the Republican Army at 17 years old, slowly climbed the ranks through diligent service to the military. Brajrr attributed the prosperity of interwar Adhomai to the strong leadership of President Al’mari; he believed that the Republic always needed a strongman in control to succeed. He severely doubted Malik’s competence because of his decision to undo his brother’s reform.

Brajrr finally rose to prominence with Nated's coup. Upon hearing of the revolution, he rallied the Liberation Army’s aligned troops in Das’nrra to assault Shastar. Alnadruskiy's attack was successful and he was named the Rrhaza-Akhran of the city. Shastar became the headquarter of the ALA, giving Brajrr a reasonable amount of influence within the army high command. He was known for his rigorous discipline and unforgiving nature. Many war prisoners were forced into labor by his orders. Brajrr was given the position of Interim President when the Democratic People’s Republic was created.

Alnadruskiy ran for president in the 2460 elections, seeking to centralize the nation and maintain the Army’s sway over the government. He founded the Free Tajaran People’s Party, gathering the most authoritarian elements in the Republic. After Almrah Harrlala’s victory by a narrow margin, he took part in the putsch against the newly elected president. Despite the defeat of the mutiny, Brajrr managed to convince Halkiikijr that he was forced by the extremists to join them. He was released and allowed to return to politics.

Ex-interim President Brajjr Alnadruskiy now leads the opposition to Harrlala’s regime. He continues to support a centralized state under the leadership of Supreme Commander Nated. Even when the successes of the current administration displease him, their latest crisis has given him enough to challenge Almrah. The return of Halkiikijr to the control of the Army is also considered a victory for him and his followers. Alnadruskiy awaits for the right moment of weakness to retake control of the DPRA.

===Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar===

The first and thus far only incident of weapons of mass destruction being employed on Adhomai happened in 2458, when the People’s Republic dropped a four-megaton nuclear bomb on the Liberation Army base in Quizosa. The death toll from the detonation was staggering, but the fallout from the bomb was carried on strong winds, leading to severe cases of radiation poisoning from the neighboring camps.

Tajara medical experience with radiation poisoning and the effects of nuclear bombs were practically non-existent. The only species in the galaxy that had the technology long before the Tajara were Xenos, and the Liberation Army did not have the luxury of free contact with extraplanetary forces. With the sick and dying mounting, a call for help was sent out to the surrounding territories. Many physicians and doctors made the long and difficult journey in the winter snows to help - at the forefront of them, Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar.

The effects of the bomb were catastrophic. Survivors were badly burned. Their fur fell out, never to grow back again - leaving them susceptible to Adhomai’s frigid temperatures. Their skin peeled off in sickly ribbons, hanging limply to the ground. Doctors were at a loss, with only a rudimentary understanding of what could have happened. Dr. Aleksandra took a sort of unofficial command of the medical effort, and coordinated efforts to assist the sick and dying.

Liberation-sympathetic Tajara, at her prodding, recovered as many documents as they could regarding the atom bomb from PRA-aligned holdings, downloading information from the extranet and thieving textbooks from high-security locations. Thanks to her ingenuity and leadership, the haphazard medical team of doctors saved a great many innocents from a slow, painful death - though they would have to live with the effects of the bomb for the rest of their lives. Dr. Aleksandra is widely known for her opposition to nuclear proliferation, due to her experiences, and has become the face of a growing anti-WMD movement across Ras’narr.

===Arzjun Haurjuhrl===

Rumors persist that Arzjun Haurjuhrl was sired out of wedlock, a result of an affair between a Zhan-Khazan mistress and a rebel leader. He was born in '''2427''' in the warmer regions near the city of Olska, and lived alone with his mother. He was scarcely a child when the war ended and the People’s Republic came to prominence. Both he and his mother suffered much in the way of discrimination - for being Zhan-Khazan as well as having a bastard child. This disconnect between what the People’s Republic promised and the way they were treated caused the young Arzjun to become disillusioned with the Republic.

He was further tested when his mother suddenly fell ill and died in the winter of 2445. With nothing left tying him down, abandoned as he had been by Adhomain society, he took what little funds they had been saving and paid a smuggler to carry him off-world. It took every penny but eventually, he found himself in Mendell City, carrying nothing but the clothes on his back. For a time, he lived on the streets, forced to beg to make ends meet. He soon found work at one of the shelters he had often stayed at. The community of Little Adhomai was more welcoming to him than the homeworld had been.

Deciding to pay back the kindness he received, he took part in many community outreach programs, including plays and dramas for the children of Little Adhomai. His passion for the arts as a medium of expression took root here, and his name rose to some prominence amongst the local Tajara population thanks to his charity work. He aspired to work on his own big picture and got his chance thanks to the collective donations of many Tajara. Wealthy Xenos also had an interest in seeing what the immigrant could do, though perhaps a few thought it would look good as a public relations move.

The script he wrote went through many revisions and sat for a good while before it was picked up by a studio. The community who had helped him before had done it once again; the surprise blockbuster When Summer Came to Nazira was one of the top ten highest-grossing films in Biesel history. Its anti-tyranny message was seen by some as an expression of the director’s own viewpoint on the People’s Republic. In some ways, they were correct - Arzjun is a quiet supporter of the DPRA, which has put him at odds with the Republican government. As a result, his film is banned from showing on Adhomai - though this has not stopped smuggled copies from being distributed amongst DPRA theaters.

==New Kingdom==

''"Loyal subjects, countrymen, brothers. It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that we must conscript from the provinces in order to maintain our fight in this war. However, you are not alone. Even as the new compulsory service legislature is passed, the aristocrats across the kingdom are likewise mobilized under a new service gentry system, so that all of the Kingdom is together in this struggle."''

''- King Vahzirathaamro Azunja, announcing the beginning of conscription and formalization of the service gentry in 2453.''

=== King Vahzirthaamro Azunja===

King Azunja was born in 2400 in the city of Kaltir to the noble Njarir’Akhran Azunja line. His father was Farkhanzirhal and his mother Dramahdarmah. Located in the far reaches of Kaltir, the Azunja family line was one of compassion and fair treatment, as only in unity and brotherhood could they hope to survive the harsh far reaches of Northern Adhomai. Their peasants were kept well and treated with dignity, and the nobles, while privileged, never indulged in cruelty. A noble paige since the age of 10, Vahzirthaamro excelled in reading and writing from an early age. He prepared to inherit the family throne as the sole son of his parents until the first civil war of Adhomai ignited in 2421.

When war broke out between the nobility and peasants, house Azunja was hesitant to pick sides, as they disagreed with the morals of both sides. Their distant position in the wild made them capable of ignoring the war until its end, as the Hadii family was placed at the head of Adhomai in 2432. Carrying the flags of the newly founded People's Republic of Adhomai, the Republic's army demanded the surrender of all nobility in Kaltir. The entire populace requested to be left in peace, as the peasantry and nobility there had never declared war on one another. Believing the peasants were utterly spineless and brainwashed, the People's Republic executed all current nobles ruthlessly, scattering the royalty of the region. Vahzirthaamro was placed in prison by his father's retinue of intellectuals, who declared he had to remain hidden amongst the lowest of the low if he wished to stay alive. From that moment on, Vahzirthaamro Azunja knew that peace was impossible so long as a compromise was not made, and a true constitutional monarchy was made the unanimous government on Adhomai.

Word passed amongst the Tajara at the work camps about the possibility that Vahzirthaamro still lived as many pre-war intellectuals gathered with him in private. They spun every possibility of a government, even discussing adopting human political systems as they gathered workers, fighters, poets, and philosophers to form an organized nation as they spread their ideas to the guards of the facility, a majority of which who were old peasants under the Azunja family who thought the entirety of the nobility had been executed. Delighted to see his return, they joined his side and swore allegiance to his family once more.

In 2449, in the middle of the night, Vahzirthaamro was released in secret along with the entirety of his retinue, as they quickly spread from town to town, asking for assistance from newly appointed officials and workers. Before long, the reminiscent families of the Kaltir region were happy to rejoin their flock. By 2450 his claim to rule had spread to all of Northern Harr'masir, and the New Kingdom of Adhomai officially seceded as an independent nation under the newly declared King Vahzirthaamro Azunja. He then led the Kingdom for the next decade, managing the balance between the different factions within the government and the ongoing war. Vahzirthaamro became a unifying figure for the population. After successfully securing Kaltir's ancient lands and negotiating the armistice that brought the end to the war, King Vahzirthaamro passed away in 2463. His niece, Shumaila Azunja, inherited his throne.

===Queen Shumaila Azunja===

[[File:Shumaila portrait.png|200px|thumb|right| A portrait done of Queen Shumaila Azunja, holding the ceremonial orr'bu s'rrendar, circa 2460.]]
Shumaila Azunja was born in 2431 in Northern Harr’smirr, as the daughter of one of the kingdom’s princes. She survived the Republican slaughter by being hidden away among the peasantry, raised in secret by individuals still loyal to the old ruling dynasty. From a young age, Shumaila began to participate in secretive royalist circles within Kaltir. Here, she began her service to the kingdom by helping distribute leaflets proclaiming the coming of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. When the uprising broke out in 2450, she joined the new Imperial Adhomian Army. Shumaila then rose through the officer ranks quickly, becoming a commander in the Jabrut Almumalik and establishing a name for herself on the front.

Many of those who served under Shumaila describe her as being a woman of unbreakable will, never faltering as casualties stacked or as barrages shattered the ground around her. Some even say she wouldn’t even blink at the sight of the PRA’s dreaded tanks rolling towards the lines. For her exploits in the war’s 2459 offensive and the defense of the Vlrralkhzazhul line, Shumaila came to be known as “The Storm of Harr’smir”, matching her iron will with a burning fury to destroy the kingdom’s enemies.

In 2460, after meeting with several prospective heirs, King Vahzirthaamro had chosen his niece Shumaila to serve as the Crown Heir. Although the majority supported this decision alongside most of Parliament and the nobility, a large fraction remained wary of the decision of a military leader over other options. However, this opposition has shrunk over the past few years. Shumaila remains strong on her position of expanding the military, but she has also spoken about increasing ties to the galaxy’s Megacorporations to modernize the New Kingdom. Nor has she made any comments regarding changing the democratic systems of Parliament and the Chamber. Coupled with her public appearances and active presence in the newspapers, many woes and worries of her ascension have been dissuaded.

Since entering the public eye in 2459, Shumaila enjoys much support from the women of Kaltir. Many look to her as an inspiration, buying “military” style jackets to emulate her look, given that Shumaila became one of the few Tajara women to lead a nation. However, this fame has also led to calls from the nobility and her family to choose a husband. Shumaila retains that her marriage comes after her coronation. She was finally crowned in 2463 after King Azunja passed away. Outside of continuing her uncle's legacy, her plans to the Kingdom are still unclear to the wide public
[[File:Marshal portrait.png|200px|thumb|left| A portrait of Field-Marshal Zarkradar'Akhan, circa 2420.]]
===Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan===

Rrhazhal was born in '2380 to the noble Njarir’Akhran Zarkradar'Akhan line, however, he was a legitimized bastard of a Zhan-Kazan maid. As the youngest of his brothers, Rrhazhal was sent into the service of the Azunja family as King Farkhanzirhal Azunja's servant at the age of 10. King Azunja noticed the young child had a talent for philosophy and strategy. The two had many intellectual discussions together as Rrhazhal quickly became a trusted advisor of King Farkhanzirhal by the time he was 20. At this time, King Azunja decided he trusted Rrhazhal with protecting the life of the newly born Vahzirthaamro. On the eve of the First Civil War, Rrhazhal was tasked with training the peasantry of Kaltir in order to defend their fiefdom and nobility against attackers. When Kaltir was annexed by the People's Republic of Adhomai in 2432, Farkhanzirhal frenziedly ordered Rrhazhal to hide Vahzirthaamro before People's Republic soldiers stormed the palace, killing almost everyone. From then on Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan personally accompanied Vahzirthaamro Azunja as his protector and chief advisor.

In 2450, once the New Kingdom had officially declared independence from the People's Republic of Adhomai, Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan was promoted to the rank of Field-Marshal personally by King Azunja, and today oversees all military operations inside of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Respected for his tactical skill but notorious for his radical belief that a compromise is not possible and a complete return to the old nobility is Adhomai's only option for peace, Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan is one of the oldest fighting nobles left on Adhomai.

===Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas===

Hailing from a royal cadet line and born in 2402, Dynhaas followed his father and brothers to join the Das’nrra Empire’s navy at a young age. When the First Revolution came, naval losses coupled with the rebel conquest of Das’nnra resulted in Dynhaas, the last man left of his line, surrendering and being imprisoned. With the war’s end in 2432, Dynhaas was offered a pardon by the Party in exchange for developing the Republican Navy. He would come to accept this over the alternative of death.

Accepting his defeat and believing that the age of nobility came to an end, Dynhaas came to view the Republican Navy as his new purpose in life. He worked to advance it alongside other pardoned nobles and founded the Oceanmasters Lounge, a private club within the naval officer corps. This path in life would change with the announcement of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Believing that a way to restore the old glory days of kingdoms laid with the NKA, Dynhaas began to plan a revolt. Partnering with other sympathetic admirals, he had the Republican Navy’s Grand Admiral and several other loyalists killed on a fateful night at the Shastar Naval Base before fleeing eastwards in 2450. In the same year that the New Kingdom was declared, Dynhaas delivered them the strongest naval force Adhomai had ever seen. King Azunja had declared him the Kingdom’s Grand Admiral shortly after meeting with Dynhaas in Miran’mir.

With the Republican Navy's command almost crippled and the ALA unable to compete with their dominance of the sea, Dynhaas used his fleets during the war to support and supply the Royal Army while helping smash the enemies of the New Kingdom. The artillery barrages of his ships were important in coastal battles during the NKA's offensives while their supremacy saved the Royal Marines from certain destruction following the failed Ras'nrr expedition. The prestige of his position made Dynhaas an instant celebrity in the NKA as well. Many propaganda reels and photos showed him as a majestic lord of the sea, something he capitalized on heavily to present himself as the very pinnacle of noble glory. Always well-groomed, well-dressed, and impeccable at talking despite whatever circumstances he was in, Dynhaas never passed the opportunity to host an interview. Most notable was Dynhaas' interview on his opinions of xenos of the S'rand’marr coalition, conducted on his capital vessel while it sieged Nal'tor in the final stages of the war. His statements on Unathi and Skrell were less than positive. After the expulsion of the People's Republic from Harr'masir in 2461, Admiral Mahtra infamously ordered the Royal Navy to engage in an unrestricted bombardment campaign of the eastern Hadiist coast. Cities and villages were targets of frequent naval artillery strikes; the battleships shelled military and civilian targets indiscriminately. The Navy infamously used incendiary shells during these attacks, causing entire neighborhoods to be engulfed in firestorms.

Post-war, Dynhaas went on several speaking tours in the first year of the armistice. Traveling from city to city, his public events were used to promote his upcoming biography and drew crowds in the tens of thousands. Politically, he maintains that the future of the NKA always lies within the navy, and that the industry of the New Kingdom must always retain a heavy focus on their shipyards. Dynhaas has also been vocal in his beliefs of a stronger monarch, often using the emergency powers King Azunja had as an example of the strong benefits that could come with such. He is yet to comment at all on his supposed rival, Mira'zkui, at all.

===Grand Duke Akym Yudenikh===

Born in the Das'nrra Empire to a noble family in 2412, Akym Yudenikh survived the First Revolution by escaping to Northern Harr'masir and hiding his identity. After the Hadiist occupation of the Kingdom of Kaltir, Yudenikh joined the People's Republic bureaucracy; he became responsible for the administration of the local rail system. Akym was infamous for his corruption; he frequently sold permits, disregarded contraband reports, and accepted bribes.

Because of his background, Akym was contacted by the underground royalist movement. He quickly became one of the main supporters of the group; he used his position within the Hadiist government to secure supplies and funding for the incoming uprising. Weapons, machinery, and ammunition were diverted to the Royalist cells. Akym was awarded the title of baron, a seat in the parliament, and some land confiscated from the People's Republic when Vahzirthaamro returned. However, his ambitions did not stop there. Using the money made from his time as a Republican bureaucracy, alongside whatever profit he could extract from his new holdings, Yudenikh continued to acquire more estate. Newly liberated farms were sold to him at a meager price thanks to his connections within the government. In a question of years, he became a Grand Duke and one of the major landowners of the New Kingdom. Akym controversially used prisoners of war as workers in his plantations during the Second Revolution as part of deals with the military.

Following the Armistice, Akym Yudenikh now leads the Royalist Party; his main mission is to maintain the status quo. The continuation of the constitutional monarchy and the privileges of the nobility align perfectly with his interests. He is one of the major supporters of further deals with megacorporations. Grand Duke Akym is not afraid to use his position to protect his interest in the parliament. Under his vision, prosperity for the New Kingdom means more power and wealth to its elite.

===Prince Serhiy Oliinyk===

Born as the third son to a family of Njarir'Akhran in 2434, Serhiy Oliinyk's life was profoundly affected by events over which he had no control. Raised in a household of avid royalists supporters, Serhiy was exposed to his parents' ideology since his youth. However, the boy had his reservations in regards to the possible return of the monarchy; he doubted that they could truly avoid the mistakes of the past. For his support during the uprising in Northern Harr'masir, the patriarchy of the Oliinyk family was given a seat in the parliament, a title of nobility, and a modest tract of land. Serhiy mistakenly believed that he could escape his bloodline's obligation thanks to his status as the third child. He already had a passion in his life: playing the P'rrama.

The war was cruel to the Oliinyk. Serhiy's brothers were killed while serving the army. This put him in an uneasy position as the heir of a parliamentary seat. The growing debt forced his father to sell whatever land they had left; the Oliinyk had officially joined the ranks of landless nobility. The final blow came in 2459 with the bombing of the Parliament; Serhiy inherited his progenitor's seat after his demise in the attack. The young musician was thrown into the midst of the New Kingdom's politics. Influenced by his social status and beliefs, he aligned himself to the Commoners Party.

If he is truly unable to escape his fate, Prince Serhiy decided to make the best out of it. Because of his age and a family full of martyrs, Serhiy became the Commoners Party's main spokesperson. Convincing the Queen to support the Populists will not be easy; the Conservatives and Absolutists are far more powerful and influential. A powerful strategy is necessary to guarantee the Commoners Party triumph in the parliament. Serhiy plans to retire from politics after the hereditary parliamentary positions are abolished and the Kingdom is fairer to its population. He hopes to return to his greatest passion: music.

===Count Tscherim Sanguszkho===

Hailing from a cadet house of the Rrhakaslov dynasty, Tscherim Sanguszkho was born in 2433 shortly after his family escaped to Kaltir to avoid the First Revolution's massacres. He was raised on a small farm frequented by disposed nobles and royalist sympathizers. Sheltered from the rest of Adhomai, he grew only knowing the world only through the nostalgic tales of pre-contact Njarir'Akhran, The Sanguszkho family was quick to offer their support to King Azunja when he returned; the Tscherim's father was given a seat in the parliament. Tscherim became a low-ranking officer in the army.

Tscherim Sanguszkho's military career came to an end in 2460 when he was gravely wounded in combat. Taking advantage of his pension and family's position, Tscherim spent the next years in gentlemen's clubs. In these places, he entered into contact with radical Absolute Royalists and became deeply interested in [[Tajaran Minor Religions#Ancient Tajara Theory|esoteric beliefs]]. Tscherim founded his organization in 2462: the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity. Drawing inspiration from the stories of an idealized pre-First Contact society, the ideology known as Revival Royalism was born from the Fraternity's meetings. Posing as a regular club, Tscherim was able to introduce other nobles to his ideals. Knowing that the task of enforcing the old order was not an easy one, Sanguszkho chose a common enemy to unite the kingdom against: the Tajara of mixed heritage.

Tscherim's plan came to fruition when his father died in a car accident in 2463; he inherited a landed title, a state, and a seat in the Parliament. Shortly after, the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity opened its membership to the public and made its intentions clear. Thanks to a deal with the Officers and Royal parties, the Fraternity became the fourth faction in the Parliament. Despite being the leader of the smallest Party, Count Tscherim has already begun to plot to slowly introduce his ideology into the New Kingdom.

===Ser Mrakhanjurl Ii'rka===

Mrakhanjurl was born in 2422 in a Zhan-Khazan family in a small village outside Olska. He received little education nor traveled far outside his village. As soon as he came of age at 16 he joined the rest of the village mining bauxite ore to be shipped to Olska to make aluminum. He eventually lost both parents to lung cancer from the mine's poor ventilation before he was 23. In 2452, when he was 29, he traveled with a dozen other Zhan-Khazan miners several miles to Olska to join a protest against the new legislation of President Hadii that was meant to crack down 'subversive elements' that many felt were unfair to Zhan-Khazan. The army was called in and brutally repressed the demonstration, which saw Mrakhanjurl narrowly escape with his life. He returned to his village to find that it had been torched by the republican army for housing subversive agitators.

Mrakhanjurl mourned the loss of his village and was picked up by rebel militia, who revealed that they had managed to provide early warning to the village and evacuate over a dozen people, but the army had managed to find and kill all but a handful of survivors. In gratitude for the rebels dying for his village, and to avenge the deaths, Mrakhanjurl joined the armed resistance that eventually joined itself under the New Kingdom of Adhomai. In a very short few years became a remarkable marksman, gaining the most recorded kills of any Tajara sniper. Current New Kingdom estimates put Mrakhanjurl's kill count at 285, 32 of those enemy PRA snipers.

Mrakhanjurl also managed to evacuate countless civilians from Republic territory to northern New Kingdom holdings. During the famous ''Rout of the 2nd Battalion'', in which New Kingdom defenders unsuccessfully attempted to prevent Republican forces from capturing Baltor, Mrakhanjurl assumed command of the 4th Company after both its leading officers had been killed by sniper fire. Despite a serious gunshot wound to the leg Mrakhanjurl began shouting orders and rallied the shattered defenders, who were the last line of defense between the advancing Republic forces and thousands of refugees attempting to flee the city. The ''Rally of the 4th Company'' on 2456 successfully managed to delay advancing Republic troops long enough for thousands of more refugees to escape into New Kingdom territory who would otherwise face atrocity.

For his bravery and growing fame (which was now considered too important to risk in the war effort), Mrakhanjurl was given the Order of the Victorious Sun, the highest honor in the New Kingdom, as well as being the first Zhan-Khazan in history to be given the noble rank of Ser. He remains a hero to the Zhan-Khazan and the New Kingdom.

===King of the Mountains Rustam Harmaliik===
[[File:harmaliik portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the king in his riding regalia, done in 2454.]]
Rustam Harmaliik was born in 2427 as the son of a deposed Njarir'Akhran noble family. He spent most of his youth in the rural region of Harr'masir, where he had contact with some groups of Rhazar'Hrujmagh that inhabited the region. As an adult, he found employment in law enforcement and was sent by the People’s Republic to support the efforts to settle the rock nomads of the Harr’masir region in 2448 as a Republican official.

While working alongside the authorities to make sure that the nomadic Zhan would accept and adopt a sedentary lifestyle, Rustam grew more interested in their culture and became skeptical of the Hadii’s regime and how they were treating the Rock Nomads. Unrest among the Rhazar'Hrujmagh soon followed, and Rustam would try to offer his support in any way possible, such as sabotaging equipment shipment or relaying misleading intelligence. The government soon realized his treason, forcing Rustam to abandon his post and escape into the wilderness.

Rustam found shelter among a caravan of the Rhazar'Hrujmagh, and soon adopted their way of life. Unrest and resistance continued among the rock nomads, and Harmaliik joined their struggle against the People’s Republic. With the New Kingdom’s rebellion, the control of the region waned and the Republican efforts shifted to other problems, which allowed the nomad resistance to blossom into guerrilla warfare. Rustam climbed the ranks of his caravan’s forces, winning prestige and favor by leading them against the Republican forces.

The second revolution happened, and the Rhazar'Hrujmagh resistance continued. Rustam assumed the leadership of his adopted caravan and aimed to acquire more support among the other Rock Nomads. Through the years of the conflict, he gathered more men and wagons under his command, through diplomacy or conquest, but limiting himself to defensive tactics, ambushes, and raids. The political stance of Harmaliik has always been one of neutrality in the conflict, never compromising fully with the Adhomai Liberation army, due to his Njarir’Akhran origins and monarchist sentiments, and never declaring any support to the New Kingdom, in fear of losing the trust of his fellow nomads,

Due to a republican offensive against the nomadic guerrillas in 2461, Rustam decided to declare himself the Almalik’Rhazar, a word roughly translated as "leader of the mountains", following an ancient nomadic tradition that allows the largely independent Rock Nomad caravans to elect a ruler among themselves. This decision alienated him from his ALA allies and the other nomads, forcing him to side with the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Harmaliik and his caravans have joined the kingdom war effort. He and his people were later granted the southeast territories of the New Kingdom for their support during the conflict.

===Brother Mikhail Ordau===
Little is known about Mikhail Oradu’s parentage. He was given to the Parivara at a very young age, left on the doorstep of Miran'mir's abbey. Thus the Family took him in as they do many small children, teaching him and educating him about S’rendarr and Messa. Mikhail was an accomplished writer for his age, but a speech impediment left him at a disadvantage when it came to oral presentations. The boy was known to be bookish, and spent much of his free time in the abbey’s library as well as its restricted section, thanks to his close friendship with the abbot.

He had an unusual interest in the sciences for a clergyman. As the Second Revolution loomed ahead, and whispers of splitting from the Republic crept into the local city, he busied himself with reading and tending to the monastery’s garden. Eventually, Miran’mir and all of northern Harr’masir split from the Republic to form the New Kingdom. With the war came plenty of hardship, and the Priests of S’rendarr did their best to help alleviate the tragedy amongst the peasants.

With little farmable land and a severe manpower disadvantage, the New Kingdom struggled to provide for its people. Starvation was a very real threat, and the abbey’s garden was not sufficient. A conflicted Mikhail turned once again to the abbey’s library and science for an answer; and, as though a miracle from the Suns themselves, one came. He discovered an ancient text detailing breeding methods for slaves, from long before the First Revolution. Suggestions on how to pass on desirable traits and mannerisms; to breed subservience. Controversial, but an unknowing descriptor of genetics and hereditary traits.

It was armed with this knowledge that Mikhail set about breeding new plants. Earthen roots, dirt berries, and more were cultivated for generations by Mikhail, aiming to pass on traits like hardiness and vitality. The plants became much more accustomed to growing in harsh conditions thanks to his work, and as the New Kingdom pushed back the Republicans and gained more territory, these hardier plants were easier to grow in the shell-shocked muddy battlefields. The threat of starvation became less and less pressing as more and more farms could deal with the way the war affected the terrain. For his efforts, Brother Mikhail was afforded a personal audience with the King.

===Oleg Al'Mor===
Born Oleg Murkov Al-Al’Mori in 2400, Oleg was a teenager when humanity stumbled upon the Tajara. His simple life of working and indentured servitude was suddenly upended with the influx of new ideals; he and his family, along with a contingent of other refugees of war avoided the conflicts erupting across the planet by staying in the mountains of Northern Harr’masir. To pass the time and keep themselves entertained, the telling of fireside epics became common. Oleg was noted to be imaginative with his tales even then, regaling other Tajara with stories of war and love.

Eventually, however, the nomadic hunter-gatherer life in the mountains could no longer support their numbers, and Oleg’s group descended from their hiding place. By this point, rebel armies had mostly taken hold of Kal’tir and the surrounding areas, giving Oleg relative freedom. When the war finally came to an end in 2432, Oleg was well known as a traveling bard and performer who earned his living using his creative skills entertaining war-weary soldiers and newly freed slaves. The stability that came with the formation of the People’s Republic afforded Oleg the opportunity to settle down in Kal’tir once again, where he took an interest in the local theater scene.

His first play, The Jester’s End, pioneered the form of black comedy and was a throwback to the days of servitude. Over the course of his career in Kal’tir, Oleg penned many more plays under his pseudonym Oleg Al’Mor, out of fear of inviting reprisals from the People’s Republic. Oleg’s plays were often scandalous or controversial for challenging the traditional morality held by Tajara. However, as time went on, his works became formulaic and much less shocking, and thus by extension more palatable to the average Tajara. Black comedy found a good home amongst the countless war veterans of the First Revolution.

Oleg considered himself an intellectual, and when the New Kingdom of Adhomai split from the People’s Republic he was an outspoken supporter. He and his family had experienced the benefits of the old ways, and with his considerable wealth from play royalties, he financed the New Kingdom with donations. Sadly, Oleg Al’Mor passed away in December of 2460 after completing his final work. The play, titled A Maiden’s Voyage, was particularly well-received, with even the King himself getting a private showing. Many of his works are still performed in theaters all over the New Kingdom’s territory.

==Others==

===Father Valyan K'rrirran===

''"From the stars, he saw Adhomai's cities and mountains become nothing more than specks. When he beheld the planet from far away, he realized that it was a small dot within this vast new galaxy. It was then he saw how truly special our homeland and our people are."''

''-Father Valyan K'rrirran, written as the ending to the prologue in his novel "An Introduction to The Twin Suns", 2430.''

Born in 2406 to a family of merchants in Dras’nrra, Valyan chose to join the faith at a young age, and became a fully-fledged Priest of S'rendarr in the midst of the First Revolution. It was during this time that Valyan had also become one of the first few Tajara to leave Adhomai. Settling on Xanu Prime in 2426 and remaining there until the war’s end in 2431, Valyan provided much of the first glimpses into the theology of the Tajara during this time. He, later on, returned home after publishing his novel written in Tau Ceti Basic on the history of the S’rendarr and Messa. Following the Second Revolution, he had replaced Walid Al’qat as The Father of the Parivara after Al’qat died of heart failure. Since gaining his position in 2462 the new Father has already demonstrated to Adhomai that he is able to rise to the task of leading the Parivara. Alongside his archivers, he had revealed misinterpretations in the vows of the Suns Sisters and amended the Vow of Silence to the original Vow of Whispers.

The Father has kept this momentum of progress going forward. In the same year, he began to assist with several archeological digs across Adhomai to gather more information on not just the history of the Suns faith, but also of the Tajara people. Much of this collection is digitalized and shared through a newly developed site (Simply dubbed “Parivara and Tajara History.pra”.) made by an influx of well-educated acolytes. Now, any curious Tajara or alien can find a trove of information on the Parivara and new details on the species’ history. This mix of preserving old traditions alongside progressing aspects of the church has made Valyan popular among the younger generations of Tajara, kindling their interest in the faith.

However, Valyan is not free of controversy. Some conspiracy theorists believe that he could have had a hand in the death of the previous Father, citing the lack of provided medical care and the quick selection of Valyan as the new Father. Others point to his connection to the revitalized Kin of S’rendarr and believe him to be funding the Kin, supplying them with off-world equipment and arms to continue their war against whoever is deemed the faith’s enemy. Nonetheless, these are regarded as little more than baseless rumors by much of the population.

===Rikdar Al'Manq===

Rikdar was born on '''2429''' the noble Njarir’Akhran Bayan line in Nal'Tor, with Bayan being his birth name. However, his parents were disappeared by Republic secret police in one of the frequent purges of Njarir’Akhran and he was put into state-run foster care. He has raised in the ''House Of Young Patriots'' orphanage until he was adopted at 14 to Hharar parents and took their last name of Al'Manq. As he was going to school his parents and teachers immediately took notice of his artistic abilities and interest in painting, which the orphanage had initially tried to discourage. In 2446, when he was 18, Rikdar won an art contest where he submitted a portrait of his Environmental Geology teacher and gained a prestigious scholarship in the Nal'Tor University of The Arts, a state-funded institution.

Rikdar attended the university for several years, though his studies were sometimes interrupted or delayed by the periodic waves of anti-Njarir’Akhran demonstrations and violence that gripped the campus. However, he quickly became a prodigy amongst his peers. Al'Manq's style of oil painting and doing portraits became a sensation in the capital, with the mayor and several city officials requesting their portraits done. Rikdar graduated from university at 20 years old in '''2450''' with a Bachelor of Arts. Having already received several high-profile commissions, including the then-President Al'Mari Hadii, whose portrait was done a week before his death. Al'Manq managed to survive the resulting chaos across Adhomai following the assassination of Al'Mari Hadii by the nature of his celebrity status, but his popularity remains confined within the major cities.

At only 29 years old in '''2458''' the ''Al'Manq Style'' has already become a famous style of painting across Adhomai. The Al'Manq Style is noted for its use of rich oil-based paint that focuses on portraits and profiles. The colors are often bold or show rich texture and color. The hands of Tajara are painted without being anatomically correct. Critics blast Al'Manq's apparent inability to draw hands correctly but Rikdar has stated that it's his personal style. This has influenced other artists, and many attempting to pay homage to Al'Manq draw hands as stubby. Rikdar remains extremely popular on Adhomai. The People's Republic remains a quiet supporter of his work, and state officials pay him handsome commissions for their portraits to be done, though they frown on him taking commissions from New Kingdom officials as well. The Adhomai Liberation Army has painted Rikdar as just another nobleman and several members of the Liberation Army have given open contempt for his work.

===Bloodstorm===

Bloodstorm is a famous and infamous DPRA Heavy Metal Band that has surged in popularity with the younger “denier” generation. Those in this generation are categorized by their refusal of modern Tajara convictions but also human influences, instead of turning to their roots.

====Vargir Stenovich “Godslayer”====

The lead guitarist of the group, Vargir Stenovich is known as the spokesperson of the band and the most controversial figures. Admitting to being a Raskara cultist in public and calling out the Parivara on their “bedding with the government”. Vargir has been involved in numerous scandals including protesting military parades, playing one of his songs next to a work camp without permission, and lastly ingesting drugs on live television and proceeding to slander the ALA for bombing the NKA parliament.
[[File:Al-Atil.png|200px|thumb|right|Photo of Al-Atil at the Mztel'Mir concert, "War Is Fuck, Let's Do It", circa 2459.]]

====Janos Al-Lung “Drowner”====

Janos is the bassist of Bloodstorm and the only band member without a criminal record. He has frequently butted heads with Stenovich over the political extremities the band goes through to discredit not only PRA and NKA but also DPRA.

====Al-Atil Csihar “Nightmaster”====

The vocalist, Al-Atil, is known for his “mrowl”, a high, long, yelp that is recorded as the loudest sound produced by a Tajara. He loves to interact with the public and often stays behind on the podium to sign autographs and fans, the latter of which he uses black spray paint.

====Cecil Kernov “Bloodletter”====

Cecil is the Drummer and has the longest time served behind bars. Kernov has his nickname for a reason as he’s been charged with armed assault. He had brutally assaulted a fan who had climbed on stage with a drum, getting it stuck on said Tajara’s head and pushing him off the stage with a dropkick.

====The Mist “Mih”====

A yet unknown band member by the public, “Mih” remains anonymous always wearing a mask in public and never speaking. He plays the P'rrama, an old Tajara string instrument, with 8 strings mirrored in a long horn-like pipe that extends to the ground which emits a loud, brass twanging noise described as an over-amped guitar.

'''Most Notable Albums Include:'''

The Freezing Blizzard - An early, traditional album, mediocre without the employment of the P'rrama.

War Is Fuck, Let's Do It - The core most popular album drawing similarities between war and love.

If Messa Was Here She'd Be a Whore - First anti-Parivara album created, criticizing their ignorance towards women and discrimination of female priests.

We Live in a Society - WLiaS describes pure hatred of every single faction present not even sparing Sol or Tau Ceti.

Shell In, Spine Out - Another anti-war album, describing the life of a dying soldier.

S'rrendar Loves You Except He Doesn't - Repeated hatred of Parivara, slander, and is famous for having a recording of Cecil attacking a fan with the drum.

If You're Old You Should Die - Scolding critique of the old leading system and a call for the younger generation to disregard the politicians and tear it all down.

[[Tajara|Tajaran]] history and society has a long list of notable individuals and heroes that are known across [[Adhomai]].

==People's Republic==

''"Comrades, in this struggle we fight to protect the progress we have fought so hard to make in the preceding decades. Our march forever onwards for a Hadiist society must not be stopped by the usurpers who would see us become a brutish military dictatorship, nor those fetid imperialists who would restore the atrocities of the old ways."''

''- President Njadrasanukii Hadii, in a televised address to the people in 2452.''
===President Njadrasanukii Hadii===

[[File:Hadii portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the president, done in 2460.]]
Njadrasanukii Hadii, also known as Malik Hadii, was born in '''2402''' to the noble Njarir'Akhran Hadii line. His mother was Rajjurl Hadii, and his father Tajrhalrr Hadii. He got involved with the military at an early age, becoming a cadet for the Royal Navy at 16 and achieving a commission as a Lieutenant-Commander at 22, and leading his own destroyer as a Captain at 29. During the revolution, he briefly fought for the loyalists but was recalled to the Hadii Citadel to help defend his family's ancestral home. Following the revolution and the Hadii's rise in the new Federal Republic, Njadrasanukii was given the office of Vice-President under his brother Al'Mari Hadii.

Malik assumed the presidency in '''2451''' after the assassination of Al'mari. He continued his brother's early agenda of collaborating with NanoTrasen and other galactic powers. Njadrasanukii purged any suspicious elements from his administration after the Nated's coup, consolidating his power through the imprisonment and execution of anyone that threatened his regime. Further authoritarian measures were established by him; the expansion of the secret police, the rapid industrialization of the PRA, and further persecution against those who did not conform to his policies. Under Malik Hadii's control, the current form of Hadiism took shape; an ideology focused on the creation of a monolithic Tajaran culture under the unquestionable guidance of the Hadii political line. The office of the president had its powers largely expanded under his rule, allowing Njadrasanukii to control all aspects of the People's Republic government. Total loyalty to Njadrasanukii is expected from all Party members.

A state-endorsed cult of personality has been established around President Hadii. Through a robust propaganda system, republican citizens are informed daily about Malik's achievements and how only through his guidance the Republican can prosper. Portraits of President Hadii can be found in most Hadiist homes and government buildings. Njadrasanukii is known for his speeches praising his own administration and the bravery of his people; his voice can be heard frequently on the radio. While many admire him as a strong leader, others fear his ruthless ways of dealing with the opposition.

President Hadii is famous for his extreme paranoia. Very few high-ranking members of the Party have direct access to him and little is known about his private life. He is constantly surrounded by hand-picked members of the secret service; those bodyguards are always under the risk of being purged for any reason. It is rumored that he has survived more than three hundred assassination attempts.

Despite the outcome of the Second revolution, Njadrasanukii continues to rule the People's Republic with an iron grip. He did not give up his plans of reestablishing Hadiist hegemony over Adhomai.

===Headmaster Harrrdanim Tyr'adrr===
[[File:headmaster portrait.png|200px|thumb|left|A rare picture of the camera shy Tyr'adrr, taken during the closure of an illegal protest, dated to 2459.]]
Harrrdanim was born in '''2425''' to a M'sai family serving the Hadii during the First Revolution. Wishing to follow in the footsteps of his parents, he joined the Hadiist Party at a young age. He soon caught the attention of the People's Strategic Intelligence Service due to his craftiness and was given a position in the agency. Despite enjoying moderate success during the late years of Al’mari’s rule, Tyr'adrr rose to prominence after the President’s assassination. Leading several purges within the secret service, he was able to secure a promotion as the Headmaster after the previous head was arrested for suspicious behavior. Under Tyr’addr’s control, the PSIS became the feared terror machine it is today. Heavy investments in surveillance technology, the establishment of a robust web of informants, and the large-scale repression of political opponents greatly weakened the opposition in the People’s Republic. His supposed adventures during this period have spawned an entire "spy thriller" genre in the Republic.

After helping secure President Hadii's rule, Headmaster Harrdanim focused his efforts on fighting the Liberation Army and the New Kingdom. Ruthless anti-partisan campaigns were carried out under his supervision. The displacement of Chaniska’s native population, scorched-earth tactics in Northern Ras'nrr, and the creation of Try'urma Penitentiary were among some of his orders during the conflict. His actions during the Second Revolution earned him the reputation of being merciless and bloodthirsty. In spite of several assassination attempts, ALA agents failed to murder him and he continued his reign of terror unimposed.

Even after the Armistice, Headmaster Harrdanim continues to work tirelessly to undermine the enemies of the Republic. He has a large interest in securing the Tajara population living outside of Adhomai and is responsible for the PSIS presence in District Six. He is eager to suggest more authoritarian solutions and believes in increasing, even more, the state’s control over the population. Because of the role of the Strategic Service in the government, Tyr'adrr is one of the most powerful and hated Tajara in the People's Republic. While seemingly loyal to President Hadii, many in the Party fear where Tyr'adrr's ambition might lead him.

===Party Secretary Yakiv Hadii===

Yakiv Hadii was born in '''2412''' as the second cousin to President Hadii. While too young to take part in the First Revolution, Yakiv joined the Hadiist Party as soon as he could. During Njadrasanukii’s rule, he excelled as a bureaucrat due to his organizational skills. He managed the distribution of land and the establishment of communal farms during the Republican Agrarian reforms. Through a combination of political maneuvers and nepotism, he quickly climbed the Party's ranks. Yakiv sought to further the Republican relationship with NanoTrasen, seeking their support for the development of Adhomai. This stance caused him to lose Al’mari’s favor during the years leading to the Second Revolution. He was then demoted to an unimportant position in the Ministry of Agriculture.

Yakiv returned to prominence after Rhagrrhuzau’s assassination; he was seen as a way to link Malik’s rule to his now-deceased brother. Following the abolishment of the office of vice-president, Yakiv was promoted as the Party Secretary by Njadrasanukii. He became responsible for the internal organization and reviewing applications to the Party; he was quick to remove many of his political opponents from power using his new powers. Known as unquestionably loyal to President Hadii, he became infamous for being nothing but a yes man. He continued his policy of maintaining good relations with megacorporations, lobbying for more deals with NanoTrasen. Countless Tajara were given the opportunity to leave Adhomai due to his efforts, most sold as cheap labor while some others were able to acquire higher education. During the final stages of the war, he was one of the main proponents of the need for foreign intervention to save the People's Republic.

After the Armistice, Yakiv remained as Party Secretary. He is one of the closest advisors to President Hadii, helping Malik in matters related to internal and external affairs. Despite being an orthodox Hadiist, he is eager to push for changes to appease NanoTrasen and other foreign powers in an attempt to gain their support. Many within the Party see Yakiv as a power-hungry and untrustworthy politician, eager to abuse his power to reach what he wants. Others recognize him as a cunning politician with a rather dangerous influence over President Hadii.

===Minister of Defense Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar===

Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar was born into a Hharar peasant family in '''2428'''. He was raised around veterans of the first revolution and was always interested in their stories. Owing to the new opportunities brought by the People’s Republic, Irbaykhan enrolled in a military academy and joined the Grand People's Army as an officer. He survived the purges of the early Hadiist government because of his political reliability; as he was one of the first army leaders to support President Hadii during his ascension. This left him in the privileged situation of being one of the few properly trained officers at the dawn of the Nated’s coup.

Irbaykhan quickly climbed the ranks of the Republican Army during the Second Revolution. Making extensive use of artillery and motorized troops, he secured early victories that gave much-needed breathing room to the fragile Republic. While in command of the Dymtris Front in '''2456''', he pushed the New Kingdom into the defensive position that they would remain in until the very end of the war. Mirarkiizar’s final promotion during the conflict was to the theater commander of the Rass’nrr Military District. With the help of the alien allies of the Republic, he managed to recapture the main region of the continent. He was given a seat in the Ministry of Defense after the Armistice, working alongside the upper echelons of the Party to refine the Republic’s strategy.

Unlike most members of the Ministry of Defense, Irbaykhan has both political connections and practical experience in the field. This combination has made him one of President Hadii’s closest advisors in regard to military matters. Currently, he is responsible for the Hro'zamal campaign. Mirarkiizar sees the Grand People's Army as an essential component of the Hadiist state; the ever-vigilant guardian of the Republic against its enemies. The Minister believes that strict discipline and union towards a common goal is the best way to safeguard the future of the People’s Republic.

===Minister of Technology Zhuldyz Hadii===

Born in '''2420''' to the Hadii dynasty, Zhuldyz enjoyed the many privileges granted to her family. She grew up fascinated by the new technologies brought by human contact; she would spend hours tinkering and dismantling electronics during her childhood. Later she was sent to study in prestigious Solarian universities, where she ventured into the field of robotics. Zhuldyz returned to Adhomai in 2449 and was granted a post in the Ministry of Technology.

Using the knowledge acquired off-world, Zhuldyz drew plans with the objective of modernizing the Republic through a technological revolution. The rapid industrialization aided by mechatronics would bring prosperity to the Tajara. While many of her initial projects were abruptly interrupted by Rhagrrhuzau's assassination, she remained in her position due to being a member of the Hadii dynasty. The unstable early years of Njadrasanukii’s presidency were unfavorable towards her dreams; stopping Nated’s coup and the Royalist uprising were top priorities at the time. However, as the frontlines stagnated and a semblance of normalcy returned to the People’s Republic, Zhuldyz had the chance to convince President Hadii of her plans. Knowing that losing the war would put an end to her pursuits, she turned her genius to the military field. Victory could be achieved through technological superiority. She was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Hadii Institute of Orbital Research|Hadii Institute of Orbital Research]], the expansion of the [[Tajara_Space_Capability#PRA_Army_Wing|Orbital Fleet]], and the creation of the Tesla Brigade. Zhuldyz was promoted to the office of the Minister of Technology shortly before the Armistice.

The Adhomian Cold War became the perfect testing ground for Zhuldyz's projects. She sees the period of peace as an opportunity to turn the People's Republic into a technological powerhouse. Zhuldyz believes that the future of Hadiism lies in science and that the Republic must become advanced enough to subjugate its enemies. Minister Hadii is not interested in ethical or safe research; she is eager to pursue dangerous and questionable experiments. No price is too small to pay during the march of progress. President Hadii gave Zhuldyz near uncontested authority to lead the Ministry of Technology. She was the mind behind the creation of the first independent robotic factory on Adhomai.

===Secretary of the Navy Hura'zhi Mira'zkui===

Born in '''2422''' to an exiled line of minor nobility from the Zatushka Kingdom, Mira’zkui grew up in the chaos of the First Revolution as the armies of the Hadiist rebels marched across Adhomai. When the dust had settled, despite his personal wishes to enter the party itself, his family would convince him to uphold their old traditions and join the forming Republican Navy in '''2447'''. It was then that Mira’zkui met Dynhaas and joined the Oceanmasters Lounge.

During the chaos of Dynhaas’ defection in '''2450''', Mira’zkui narrowly avoided his own death. Informed early by a loyal lieutenant that his own crew was plotting to kill him, Mira’zkui fled in a lifeboat and watched as his fellow officers were thrown screaming from the decks of their own ships. A few days later, he was found on the shores of Ras’nrr. As the Republic fell into chaos, Mira’zkui returned to the Republican Navy as Secretary, entrusted by Malik Hadii to fight against the pirate flotillas of the ALA and the Royal Navy. However, Mira’zkui’s loyalty was not able to make up for his inexperience. While the last of the Liberation Army’s pirate vessels were sunk, he was unable to contend with the strength of the Royal Navy and unable to achieve his personal desire: Capturing or killing Dynhaas.

Post-War, Mira’zkui has largely become reclusive and withdrawn from the public eye. While he continues to try and develop the Republican navy, Mira’zkui is forced to contend with funding going towards the projects of the Orbital Navy and Grand People’s Army. With a relationship of mutual dislike between himself and Zhuldyz Hadii, many within the party believe that Mira’zkui will likely be replaced eventually. How he would react to being denied any chance for revenge against Dynhaas is something no one knows.

===Chief Naval Commander Samirro Qarrarhaz===

Born in Northern Ras’nrr in '''2407''', Samirro was the son of a loyal M'sai general in the Hadii Hegemony. Qarrarhaz's family raised and taught him to follow in his father’s footsteps. He would become an artillery officer in '''2428''', finding great success during combat against monarchist groups through using extensive shelling to force and flush out the enemy. By '''2431''' Qarrarhaz was moved into Southern Harr’masir to prepare for an invasion of the Kingdom of Kaltir. His artillery crews were among those who scoured the Kingdom following its surrender, shelling whatever villas, castles, and manors they had found. A staunch ally of Al’mari Hadii and his family, Qarrarhaz has always stood by the Hadii family and the republic they had later built.

While also providing training for future artillery commanders in the interwar period, Qarrarhaz became part of a committee formed by President Al’mari Hadii to plan and prepare a space fleet for the PRA. He, along with other committee members, traveled to the Coalition of Colonies' planets of Xanu Prime and Himeo to observe anti-piracy operations in order to better develop the PRA’s own future space warfare doctrine in '''2452'''. When the Orbital Fleet was completed by '''2457''', Qarrarhaz was appointed Chief Naval Commander by President Malik Hadii. Since then, he has won numerous victories against piracy, smugglers, and even bested a [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/?do=findComment&comment=114422 Sol cruiser].

Post-war, Qarrarhaz continues to lead his spaceships and Kosmostrelki in the defense of the PRA’s claimed space. Comfortable and experienced in his position, Qarrarhaz has begun to speak more on the future of the PRA’s ventures into space. Controversially, the Commander has stated that the PRA must eventually extend its hand to the numerous small colonies and off-worlder communities dotting the frontier around them. Arguing that Hadiism’s light must be spread beyond Tajara, it is his belief that the PRA must one day uplift these groups from their poverty and absorb them into the state.

===Minister of Education Kalim Khazdar===

Kalim Khazdar was born in '''2430''' to a family of Hharar foremen in the city of Tampiska. Deemed a bright child by his teachers, he was sent to study in Al'marii. Captivated by the tales of progress and prosperity brought by the interwar period, Kalim enrolled at the Al'marii College of Hadiist Sciences. He continued his studies intending to become a college teacher. During his time as a student, he became a good friend and protégé of the rector of the university, Mahir Hadii. His friendship with a member of the political dynasty opened many doors for him.

Kalim joined the Hadiist party during the Second Revolution. He later visited Tau Ceti to study the Adhomian community there; his experiences in District Six deeply affected his ideas. He saw all the social problems that those who lived under the megacorporation rule were subject to. Instead of losing faith in Hadiism, he started to believe that reforms were necessary to save the People's Republic; NanoTrasen should be a means to an end, not the end itself. Kalim returned to Adhomai in 2459 and became a college professor. Thanks to his connections, he soon got involved with the administration and politics of the university. His papers on the subject of Hadiist education were generally well-received by the academia.

With the Armistice of Shastar, Kalim Khazdar aligned himself to the Young Hadiist faction; his sympathy towards the movement was largely unknown to the Party. His ascension to the position of Minister of Education in 2463 was the result of a confidential deal between his mentor and President Hadii. Despite being considered a powerless and inexperienced politician by the other members of the Hadiist cabinet, Kalim is not to be underestimated. Cunning will be necessary to avoid the wrath of President Hadii and his lackeys. The path to a truly free People's Republic will be a long and difficult one.

===Yasmin Piaf===

[[File:Yasminp.jpg|150px|thumb|right|A photograph of Yasmin Piaf handed out at a concert, 2459.]]
Yasmina Burokov, aka Yasmin Piaf, was born in 2434 in the suburbs of Nal'tor to a particularly well-off Njarir'Akhran family. Yasmin's father, Boris Burokov was a low-ranking State department official and devout loyalist of the People's Republic. She spent her childhood being educated in the best State-run schools their family could afford and enjoyed relative wealth and prosperity far from the poorer outskirts of the city.

Even from a young age, Yasmin was interested in music. She was part of her school's choir and participated in several nationwide contests for the honor of singing for President Rhagrrhuzau Hadii. The all-female 'Band of Njarir Maidens' consisting of Yasmin and her classmates eventually won and sang for the President and other members of his cabinet at the end of the annual military parade held in Nal'tor. Eventually, she graduated and went on to the Academy of Musical Arts with a full scholarship.

Talent scouts pruning the burgeoning academy's student pool for the next starlet eventually discovered Yasmin during rehearsals for the school's upcoming musical, and she signed a tentative deal with the small publication Vostak Recordings. Her first record, simply titled The Man in Rouge, was released with minimal fanfare. Given that she had sung a small solo during her performance for the President, some Tajara recalled her name.

Yet her voice, described by some as angelic and innocent, found purchase with an aging generation of Tajara who wished a brief return to peaceful normalcy following the First Revolution. Her dedication to the traditional pop standard and recognition for torch songs eventually elevated her to the status of a household name, with her recording label releasing hit after hit. As a result, Yasmin Piaf has become one of the most famous singers in the modern era - one who has fostered a close relationship with State officials. She is one of the few artists who are approved to be played on State radio KGTW-11.

===Andrey Borisov===

Out of all the Tajara that one could argue embody loyalty to the People’s Republic, perhaps none are more memorable than Andrey Alexander Borisov. In the average Republican household, his name is just as common as President Hadii’s, owing to the fact that he is the face of State propaganda and news network RAFИ. Born in 2416 to a line of M’sai warriors, Andrey was not even two years old before humanity stumbled across Adhomai and lit the flame that ignited the First Revolution.

Andrey’s father and uncle were killed in the uprising, leaving him, his mother, and his sister alone to fend for themselves. His mother curried favor with the local rebel leader when their town fell to the onslaught of war; she became his concubine and, later, his wife. The ever-advancing front saw Andrey moved from home to home, where the young M’sai would often spend time talking to soldiers recovering after harsh fighting. They nourished a sense of patriotism in him, and eventually, he came to see the First Revolution as necessary for the future of the Tajara.

The war ended in 2432, when he was merely 16 years old. As the newly founded People’s Republic began the arduous transition from a movement to a government, Andrey’s connections with the upper echelon of PRA politicians bore fruit. He was taken on as a member of an officer’s general staff, headquartered in Nal’Tor, where he served as little more than a glorified secretary. His position put him in contact with the elite, however, and many found him charming and personable. His silver tongue earned him the interest of Dmitrys Marakov, the owner of the only State-approved television station at that point in time.

His ascension from lowly secretary to the major news anchor for RAFИ was one that involved plenty of political maneuvering, money - and, rumored by some, violence - but ultimately Andrey had proved his loyalty to the political elite of the People's Republic and he was rewarded with the honor of being their mouthpiece. As a result, no Tajara on Adhomai can go very long without seeing his smiling face on their television set, spinning the next story or cover-up at the behest of the State.

==Democratic People's Republic==

''"We are soldiers. We are fighters. We are war. We have forsaken the corrupt and decaying corpse of the xeno-loving People's Republic. We have left our homes and our families, but our cause is righteous. The suns are with us! The vile usurper of my friend and comrade Al'mari will have justice delivered to him! We will spill the blood of our enemies until our struggles are seen and heard, and we WILL retake OUR Republic!"

''- Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan, the day after the coup de tat began, 2451.''

===Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan===
[[File:Nateed portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A surprise picture of Nated, taken in 2458.]]
Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan was born in '''2404''' to a M'sai family under the service of the Hadii Dynasty. The son of a royal guard, Nated interacted with many Njarir children in his early life. He grew to resent their narcissism but was prepared to inherit his duty nonetheless. When the First Revolution ignited in '''2421''', Halkiikijr fought for the loyalists alongside the Hadii family. Becoming a battle-brother of Rhagrrhuzau Hadii, or better known as Al'Mari Hadii, Nated stood with the Hadii’s decision to abandon their royal roots and join the revolutionaries. When the war ended Al'Mari was sworn into office, Halkiikijr was made a Commander in Chief of the Republican Army in return for his service.

Al'Mari supposedly made promises of swearing-in Halkiikijr as the next president of the People's Republic once the political climate on Adhomai had stabilized. The legitimacy of this claim is not known, but what is known is that Al'Mari was assassinated during a military parade in '''2451''' and Njadrasanukii Hadii, vice president of the People's Republic, swore himself in as the successor of the presidency. Outraged at the assassination and accusing Njadrasanukii of treachery against the People’s Republic, Nated organized a coup against Malik. Bringing together military commanders dissatisfied with the new Hadiist policies, Halkiikijr created the Adhomai Liberation Army to dethrone the new President. He then took the title of Supreme Commander.

As the putsch attempt was thwarted by the Hadiist forces, Nated fled to Shastar City. The coup then turned into a full-blown civil war between the Liberation Army and the People’s Republic. Without off-world help, Nated called to arms anyone willing to support his cause. His movement became a unifying front to all kinds of elements opposing President Hadii; from democratic reformers to extremists fighting to free Adhomai from alien influence. For a decade, Halkiikijr led the Liberation Army as an effective opposing force against the People’s Republic and the New Kingdom. He favored the extensive use of irregular warfare coupled with the deployment of the army to secure decisive battles. A cult of personality formed around Halkiikijr; extremists claimed that he was a prophet sent by the Gods. The Supreme Commander took advantage of this belief to cultivate undying loyalty and fanaticism among his followers.

Believing that the territories under his control were ready for a democracy modeled after the Al'mariist principles, Nated's undisputed rule came to an end with the creation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai. Halkiikijr retired from his position as Supreme Commander to prevent a coup against the newly elected president. His retirement did not last long; he returned to power because of the Amohdan crisis in '''2462'''. Nated was given back the control of the Liberation Army and its remaining juntas to retake the Island of Amohda. After this display of weakness, Halkiikijr is unsure if the DPRA is truly ready to rule Adhomai. For him, the ALA is now more essential than before. Nated also faces infighting between his two right-hand men; commander Kahan and Kyff.

===Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad===

Kahan Hro'rammhad was born in '''2412''' to a Hharar family as their oldest children. A peasant from birth in the region of Southern Harr'masir, he was taught the traditional values of S'rendarr and Messa by his deeply religious parents. His childhood was cut short by the outbreak of the First Revolution; his family was expelled from their lands by the war. Thanks to its flat terrain, Southern Harr’masir saw the first deployment of armored vehicles in the conflict; trains, civilian cars, and trucks were outfitted for warfare by the rebels. Hro’rammhad joined the crew of an armored car as soon he turned 14 years old. Because of the high mortality among the revolutionaries, Kahan quickly found himself in the command of his own brigade. He became famous for his excellent use of the vehicles’ speed to encircle the enemy, and for his merciful nature. Monarchists soldiers were always given the chance of joining his side after capture. Hro’rammhad also forbade unnecessary executions and mistreatment of prisoners among his fighters.

Commander Kahan and his brigade were incorporated into the Hadiist faction shortly before the end of the First Revolution. As a member of the Republican Army, he was a major proponent of the transformation of the People’s Army into a motorized force. Tank brigades and motostrelki units were created under his supervision. Kahan funded the reconstruction of many temples destroyed during the revolution and frequently donated to charity through the interwar period. Hro’rammhad joined Nated’s coup due to his profound disagreement with Malik’s policies; he saw the oppression of the Zhan-Khazan as morally corrupt. Armored units that defected alongside him were organized into the Hro'rammhad Tank Corps under his command.

Hro'rammhad remained a merciful and pious Tajara through the Second Revolution. He rejected the notion of irregular warfare and continued to offer mercy to his enemies. As the leader of the main armored force in the Liberation Army, Kahan played an important role in decisive battles. This position allowed him to become a right-hand man for Nated. As part of his religiousness, Hro'rammhad considered the conflict to be a battle to protect the faith against the innate atheism of Hadiism. Religious imagery and motifs became common among his Tajara. The men under Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad are known to have the utmost respect for his bravery and mercy, most even going so far as to worship him as an embodiment of S'rendarr's justice. His success during the civil war earned him the nickname of “Undefeated Commander''.

Despite the armistice, Commander Kahan remains as one of the second-in-command for Halkiikijr. He is an avid supporter of the transition to democracy, advocating for the dismantlement of the juntas. This position earned him many enemies among the more authoritarian elements within the Liberation Army. He is known to despise Commander Kyff Hotak for his tactics and personality. Both Tajara are currently engaged in an internal struggle to consolidate their influence over the Liberation Army.

===Commander Kyff Hotak===

Born in the year '''2406''' to a family of Zhan-Khazan miners in the Trizar, Kyff Hotak was supposedly destined to slave away for his Njarir master as his ancestors did for many generations. To avoid this fate, Hotak fled his home as a young Tajara. He ran into the wilderness until he found a bandit camp. Because of his age, the brigands decided to adopt Kyff as the group’s mascot. The boy grew up witnessing all kinds of crime and violence; later taking part in the band’s activity when old enough. The bandits sided with the rebels during the First Revolution in search of plunder. But their greed was their undoing; the criminals were massacred by the revolutionaries after they were discovered stealing rations. Hotak survived by being the one to report the activities of his previous comrades. As the war dragged on, Kyff became more bold and cruel in his revolutionary activities. He frequently engaged in assassinations, massacres, and false flag operations to crush the monarchists’ morale. Hotak was soon feared by his comrades and hated by his enemies. To him, everything was permissible to achieve victory. Impressed by the victories of the Hadii faction, he joined them as part of the early Ha'narr Corps.

The interwar period was fairly unremarkable for Kyff Hotak; he was given a low-ranking office position in the intelligence department. While Hotak advocated for the recreation of a force similar to the Mountain Ghost Corps, his request was ignored by the Hadiist high command. Memories of his excess in the First Revolution stopped Hotak from receiving any further promotions. He grew discontent with the People’s Republic, believing that he deserved more for his service. Seeing Nated's coup as an opportunity to rise to power, Kyff defected to the Liberation Army without hesitation.

Hotak organized his own unit of commando early into the war; a battalion trained in stealth operations. As a major proponent of irregular warfare, he also helped organize guerilla cells and coordinate terrorist attacks. The success of these groups granted him enough influence to become one of Nated's right-hand men. However, Commander Kyff quickly returned to his old ways; he started to wage a campaign of unrestrained terror. The presence of his soldiers became a harbinger of indiscriminate persecution, murder, excessive property requisition, and collective punishment against any community suspected of working with the enemy. Despite the protest of the civilian population and Commander Kahan, Halkiikijr refused to replace Kyff. Taking advantage of his reputation, Hotak ordered his Tajara to spread stories of him being the earthly manifestation of Messa's wrath. This tactic proved to be effective both among his enemies and allies.

Commander Kyff Hotak remains in service even after the armistice. Many within the army and the civilian administration desire to see Hotak punished for his war crimes, but Supreme Commander Nated continues to protect him. Kyff is a hardline supporter of the more authoritarian elements in the government and desires a strong centralized leadership above all else. He and Commander Hro'rammhad are rivals; both Tajara commonly fight each other over which direction the Liberation Army should go. Hotak is always accompanied by his pet [[Adhomai#Farwa (Tree-Hopper)|Farwa]], Ghiyath.

===President Almrah Harrlala===
[[File:harrlala portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the president during one of her speeches, done in 2461.]]
President Almrah Harrlala was born in '''2426''' to a family of Hharar factory workers in Shastar City. While her childhood was relatively unaffected by the First Revolution, she enjoyed many of the benefits brought by the People’s Republic during the interwar period. Being the first member of her household to receive a proper education, she became involved in the Party’s politics at a considerable young age. She believed that a stable democracy built upon the will of the people was the best path for Adhomai. She was also wary of the presence of megacorporations on the planet, considering their activities as harmful to the development of the Tajara species She campaigned for more worker’s rights and laws restricting corporation’s activities in the PRA. Almrah held a position within the Party until the ascension of President Njadrasanukii Hadii; he ordered the arrest of Harrlala due to her views.

Harrlala was held prisoner in Shastar during the first moments of the Civil war, only the capture of the city by the Liberation Army saved her from being transferred to another location. Hoping to continue her career in politics, she aligned herself with the rebels. Even if the despotic and extremist tendencies of the ALA worried Almrah, she held to Nated's promise of saving the Republic. She was given the position of Provisional Minister of Civil Rights when the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai was established.

As the Minister of Civil Rights, Almrah worked to protect the regional identities present in the DPRA. Her campaign to end military rule over the country while still upholding the principles of Al’mariism made her a popular figure among the moderate sectors of the population. Seeking to expand her political influence, she founded the National Adhomai Worker's Party. She was one of the candidates in the presidential elections of '''2460'''; she won the office of president by a narrow margin. President Harrlala’s ascension to power displeased the authoritarian wing of the Liberation Army, the military then planned a coup to restore their own rule. The putsch was stopped by the intervention of Supreme Commander Nated, who later resigned from his position to grant more powers to the civilian administration.

Following the Armistice, President Almrah Harrlala continued with her internal policies while maintaining a strong stance against foreign dominance. Under her rule, schools to preserve local cultures and languages were established, Gakal’zaal was liberated from the Unathi rule, and the DPRA developed its nuclear program. Her status as one of the first female rulers in modern Tajaran history has inspired many women to engage in DPRA politics. However, her regime is plagued with deep issues. The ghost of separatism lingers over the nation after the Amohdan attempt to secede. Her ability to reconcile the various factions in the government was severely doubted when she failed to draw a plan to handle the rebellious island. Since the return of Halkiikijr to power, the authoritarian elements see this as a moment of weakness in the young Republic. President Harrlala must be ready to face further opposition if she wants to see her vision of Adhomai come to life.

===Ex-interim President Brajrr Alnadruskiy===

Born in '''2423''' in the city of Mztel’mir, Brajjr Alnadruskiy was the youngest child of a family of brewers. He later joined the Republican Army at 17 years old, slowly climbed the ranks through diligent service to the military. Brajrr attributed the prosperity of interwar Adhomai to the strong leadership of President Al’mari; he believed that the Republic always needed a strongman in control to succeed. He severely doubted Malik’s competence because of his decision to undo his brother’s reform.

Brajrr finally rose to prominence with Nated's coup. Upon hearing of the revolution, he rallied the Liberation Army’s aligned troops in Das’nrra to assault Shastar. Alnadruskiy's attack was successful and he was named the Rrhaza-Akhran of the city. Shastar became the headquarter of the ALA, giving Brajrr a reasonable amount of influence within the army high command. He was known for his rigorous discipline and unforgiving nature. Many war prisoners were forced into labor by his orders. Brajrr was given the position of Interim President when the Democratic People’s Republic was created.

Alnadruskiy ran for president in the 2460 elections, seeking to centralize the nation and maintain the Army’s sway over the government. He founded the Free Tajaran People’s Party, gathering the most authoritarian elements in the Republic. After Almrah Harrlala’s victory by a narrow margin, he took part in the putsch against the newly elected president. Despite the defeat of the mutiny, Brajrr managed to convince Halkiikijr that he was forced by the extremists to join them. He was released and allowed to return to politics.

Ex-interim President Brajjr Alnadruskiy now leads the opposition to Harrlala’s regime. He continues to support a centralized state under the leadership of Supreme Commander Nated. Even when the successes of the current administration displease him, their latest crisis has given him enough to challenge Almrah. The return of Halkiikijr to the control of the Army is also considered a victory for him and his followers. Alnadruskiy awaits for the right moment of weakness to retake control of the DPRA.

===Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar===

The first and thus far only incident of weapons of mass destruction being employed on Adhomai happened in 2458, when the People’s Republic dropped a four-megaton nuclear bomb on the Liberation Army base in Quizosa. The death toll from the detonation was staggering, but the fallout from the bomb was carried on strong winds, leading to severe cases of radiation poisoning from the neighboring camps.

Tajara medical experience with radiation poisoning and the effects of nuclear bombs were practically non-existent. The only species in the galaxy that had the technology long before the Tajara were Xenos, and the Liberation Army did not have the luxury of free contact with extraplanetary forces. With the sick and dying mounting, a call for help was sent out to the surrounding territories. Many physicians and doctors made the long and difficult journey in the winter snows to help - at the forefront of them, Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar.

The effects of the bomb were catastrophic. Survivors were badly burned. Their fur fell out, never to grow back again - leaving them susceptible to Adhomai’s frigid temperatures. Their skin peeled off in sickly ribbons, hanging limply to the ground. Doctors were at a loss, with only a rudimentary understanding of what could have happened. Dr. Aleksandra took a sort of unofficial command of the medical effort, and coordinated efforts to assist the sick and dying.

Liberation-sympathetic Tajara, at her prodding, recovered as many documents as they could regarding the atom bomb from PRA-aligned holdings, downloading information from the extranet and thieving textbooks from high-security locations. Thanks to her ingenuity and leadership, the haphazard medical team of doctors saved a great many innocents from a slow, painful death - though they would have to live with the effects of the bomb for the rest of their lives. Dr. Aleksandra is widely known for her opposition to nuclear proliferation, due to her experiences, and has become the face of a growing anti-WMD movement across Ras’narr.

===Arzjun Haurjuhrl===

Rumors persist that Arzjun Haurjuhrl was sired out of wedlock, a result of an affair between a Zhan-Khazan mistress and a rebel leader. He was born in '''2427''' in the warmer regions near the city of Olska, and lived alone with his mother. He was scarcely a child when the war ended and the People’s Republic came to prominence. Both he and his mother suffered much in the way of discrimination - for being Zhan-Khazan as well as having a bastard child. This disconnect between what the People’s Republic promised and the way they were treated caused the young Arzjun to become disillusioned with the Republic.

He was further tested when his mother suddenly fell ill and died in the winter of 2445. With nothing left tying him down, abandoned as he had been by Adhomain society, he took what little funds they had been saving and paid a smuggler to carry him off-world. It took every penny but eventually, he found himself in Mendell City, carrying nothing but the clothes on his back. For a time, he lived on the streets, forced to beg to make ends meet. He soon found work at one of the shelters he had often stayed at. The community of Little Adhomai was more welcoming to him than the homeworld had been.

Deciding to pay back the kindness he received, he took part in many community outreach programs, including plays and dramas for the children of Little Adhomai. His passion for the arts as a medium of expression took root here, and his name rose to some prominence amongst the local Tajara population thanks to his charity work. He aspired to work on his own big picture and got his chance thanks to the collective donations of many Tajara. Wealthy Xenos also had an interest in seeing what the immigrant could do, though perhaps a few thought it would look good as a public relations move.

The script he wrote went through many revisions and sat for a good while before it was picked up by a studio. The community who had helped him before had done it once again; the surprise blockbuster When Summer Came to Nazira was one of the top ten highest-grossing films in Biesel history. Its anti-tyranny message was seen by some as an expression of the director’s own viewpoint on the People’s Republic. In some ways, they were correct - Arzjun is a quiet supporter of the DPRA, which has put him at odds with the Republican government. As a result, his film is banned from showing on Adhomai - though this has not stopped smuggled copies from being distributed amongst DPRA theaters.

==New Kingdom==

''"Loyal subjects, countrymen, brothers. It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that we must conscript from the provinces in order to maintain our fight in this war. However, you are not alone. Even as the new compulsory service legislature is passed, the aristocrats across the kingdom are likewise mobilized under a new service gentry system, so that all of the Kingdom is together in this struggle."''

''- King Vahzirathaamro Azunja, announcing the beginning of conscription and formalization of the service gentry in 2453.''

=== King Vahzirthaamro Azunja===

King Azunja was born in 2400 in the city of Kaltir to the noble Njarir’Akhran Azunja line. His father was Farkhanzirhal and his mother Dramahdarmah. Located in the far reaches of Kaltir, the Azunja family line was one of compassion and fair treatment, as only in unity and brotherhood could they hope to survive the harsh far reaches of Northern Adhomai. Their peasants were kept well and treated with dignity, and the nobles, while privileged, never indulged in cruelty. A noble paige since the age of 10, Vahzirthaamro excelled in reading and writing from an early age. He prepared to inherit the family throne as the sole son of his parents until the first civil war of Adhomai ignited in 2421.

When war broke out between the nobility and peasants, house Azunja was hesitant to pick sides, as they disagreed with the morals of both sides. Their distant position in the wild made them capable of ignoring the war until its end, as the Hadii family was placed at the head of Adhomai in 2432. Carrying the flags of the newly founded People's Republic of Adhomai, the Republic's army demanded the surrender of all nobility in Kaltir. The entire populace requested to be left in peace, as the peasantry and nobility there had never declared war on one another. Believing the peasants were utterly spineless and brainwashed, the People's Republic executed all current nobles ruthlessly, scattering the royalty of the region. Vahzirthaamro was placed in prison by his father's retinue of intellectuals, who declared he had to remain hidden amongst the lowest of the low if he wished to stay alive. From that moment on, Vahzirthaamro Azunja knew that peace was impossible so long as a compromise was not made, and a true constitutional monarchy was made the unanimous government on Adhomai.

Word passed amongst the Tajara at the work camps about the possibility that Vahzirthaamro still lived as many pre-war intellectuals gathered with him in private. They spun every possibility of a government, even discussing adopting human political systems as they gathered workers, fighters, poets, and philosophers to form an organized nation as they spread their ideas to the guards of the facility, a majority of which who were old peasants under the Azunja family who thought the entirety of the nobility had been executed. Delighted to see his return, they joined his side and swore allegiance to his family once more.

In 2449, in the middle of the night, Vahzirthaamro was released in secret along with the entirety of his retinue, as they quickly spread from town to town, asking for assistance from newly appointed officials and workers. Before long, the reminiscent families of the Kaltir region were happy to rejoin their flock. By 2450 his claim to rule had spread to all of Northern Harr'masir, and the New Kingdom of Adhomai officially seceded as an independent nation under the newly declared King Vahzirthaamro Azunja. He then led the Kingdom for the next decade, managing the balance between the different factions within the government and the ongoing war. Vahzirthaamro became a unifying figure for the population. After successfully securing Kaltir's ancient lands and negotiating the armistice that brought the end to the war, King Vahzirthaamro passed away in 2463. His niece, Shumaila Azunja, inherited his throne.

===Queen Shumaila Azunja===

[[File:Shumaila portrait.png|200px|thumb|right| A portrait done of Queen Shumaila Azunja, holding the ceremonial orr'bu s'rrendar, circa 2460.]]
Shumaila Azunja was born in 2431 in Northern Harr’smirr, as the daughter of one of the kingdom’s princes. She survived the Republican slaughter by being hidden away among the peasantry, raised in secret by individuals still loyal to the old ruling dynasty. From a young age, Shumaila began to participate in secretive royalist circles within Kaltir. Here, she began her service to the kingdom by helping distribute leaflets proclaiming the coming of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. When the uprising broke out in 2450, she joined the new Imperial Adhomian Army. Shumaila then rose through the officer ranks quickly, becoming a commander in the Jabrut Almumalik and establishing a name for herself on the front.

Many of those who served under Shumaila describe her as being a woman of unbreakable will, never faltering as casualties stacked or as barrages shattered the ground around her. Some even say she wouldn’t even blink at the sight of the PRA’s dreaded tanks rolling towards the lines. For her exploits in the war’s 2459 offensive and the defense of the Vlrralkhzazhul line, Shumaila came to be known as “The Storm of Harr’smir”, matching her iron will with a burning fury to destroy the kingdom’s enemies.

In 2460, after meeting with several prospective heirs, King Vahzirthaamro had chosen his niece Shumaila to serve as the Crown Heir. Although the majority supported this decision alongside most of Parliament and the nobility, a large fraction remained wary of the decision of a military leader over other options. However, this opposition has shrunk over the past few years. Shumaila remains strong on her position of expanding the military, but she has also spoken about increasing ties to the galaxy’s Megacorporations to modernize the New Kingdom. Nor has she made any comments regarding changing the democratic systems of Parliament and the Chamber. Coupled with her public appearances and active presence in the newspapers, many woes and worries of her ascension have been dissuaded.

Since entering the public eye in 2459, Shumaila enjoys much support from the women of Kaltir. Many look to her as an inspiration, buying “military” style jackets to emulate her look, given that Shumaila became one of the few Tajara women to lead a nation. However, this fame has also led to calls from the nobility and her family to choose a husband. Shumaila retains that her marriage comes after her coronation. She was finally crowned in 2463 after King Azunja passed away. Outside of continuing her uncle's legacy, her plans to the Kingdom are still unclear to the wide public
[[File:Marshal portrait.png|200px|thumb|left| A portrait of Field-Marshal Zarkradar'Akhan, circa 2420.]]
===Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan===

Rrhazhal was born in '2380 to the noble Njarir’Akhran Zarkradar'Akhan line, however, he was a legitimized bastard of a Zhan-Kazan maid. As the youngest of his brothers, Rrhazhal was sent into the service of the Azunja family as King Farkhanzirhal Azunja's servant at the age of 10. King Azunja noticed the young child had a talent for philosophy and strategy. The two had many intellectual discussions together as Rrhazhal quickly became a trusted advisor of King Farkhanzirhal by the time he was 20. At this time, King Azunja decided he trusted Rrhazhal with protecting the life of the newly born Vahzirthaamro. On the eve of the First Civil War, Rrhazhal was tasked with training the peasantry of Kaltir in order to defend their fiefdom and nobility against attackers. When Kaltir was annexed by the People's Republic of Adhomai in 2432, Farkhanzirhal frenziedly ordered Rrhazhal to hide Vahzirthaamro before People's Republic soldiers stormed the palace, killing almost everyone. From then on Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan personally accompanied Vahzirthaamro Azunja as his protector and chief advisor.

In 2450, once the New Kingdom had officially declared independence from the People's Republic of Adhomai, Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan was promoted to the rank of Field-Marshal personally by King Azunja, and today oversees all military operations inside of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Respected for his tactical skill but notorious for his radical belief that a compromise is not possible and a complete return to the old nobility is Adhomai's only option for peace, Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan is one of the oldest fighting nobles left on Adhomai.

===Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas===

Hailing from a royal cadet line and born in 2402, Dynhaas followed his father and brothers to join the Das’nrra Empire’s navy at a young age. When the First Revolution came, naval losses coupled with the rebel conquest of Das’nnra resulted in Dynhaas, the last man left of his line, surrendering and being imprisoned. With the war’s end in 2432, Dynhaas was offered a pardon by the Party in exchange for developing the Republican Navy. He would come to accept this over the alternative of death.

Accepting his defeat and believing that the age of nobility came to an end, Dynhaas came to view the Republican Navy as his new purpose in life. He worked to advance it alongside other pardoned nobles and founded the Oceanmasters Lounge, a private club within the naval officer corps. This path in life would change with the announcement of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Believing that a way to restore the old glory days of kingdoms laid with the NKA, Dynhaas began to plan a revolt. Partnering with other sympathetic admirals, he had the Republican Navy’s Grand Admiral and several other loyalists killed on a fateful night at the Shastar Naval Base before fleeing eastwards in 2450. In the same year that the New Kingdom was declared, Dynhaas delivered them the strongest naval force Adhomai had ever seen. King Azunja had declared him the Kingdom’s Grand Admiral shortly after meeting with Dynhaas in Miran’mir.

With the Republican Navy's command almost crippled and the ALA unable to compete with their dominance of the sea, Dynhaas used his fleets during the war to support and supply the Royal Army while helping smash the enemies of the New Kingdom. The artillery barrages of his ships were important in coastal battles during the NKA's offensives while their supremacy saved the Royal Marines from certain destruction following the failed Ras'nrr expedition. The prestige of his position made Dynhaas an instant celebrity in the NKA as well. Many propaganda reels and photos showed him as a majestic lord of the sea, something he capitalized on heavily to present himself as the very pinnacle of noble glory. Always well-groomed, well-dressed, and impeccable at talking despite whatever circumstances he was in, Dynhaas never passed the opportunity to host an interview. Most notable was Dynhaas' interview on his opinions of xenos of the S'rand’marr coalition, conducted on his capital vessel while it sieged Nal'tor in the final stages of the war. His statements on Unathi and Skrell were less than positive. After the expulsion of the People's Republic from Harr'masir in 2461, Admiral Mahtra infamously ordered the Royal Navy to engage in an unrestricted bombardment campaign of the eastern Hadiist coast. Cities and villages were targets of frequent naval artillery strikes; the battleships shelled military and civilian targets indiscriminately. The Navy infamously used incendiary shells during these attacks, causing entire neighborhoods to be engulfed in firestorms.

Post-war, Dynhaas went on several speaking tours in the first year of the armistice. Traveling from city to city, his public events were used to promote his upcoming biography and drew crowds in the tens of thousands. Politically, he maintains that the future of the NKA always lies within the navy, and that the industry of the New Kingdom must always retain a heavy focus on their shipyards. Dynhaas has also been vocal in his beliefs of a stronger monarch, often using the emergency powers King Azunja had as an example of the strong benefits that could come with such. He is yet to comment at all on his supposed rival, Mira'zkui, at all.

===Grand Duke Akym Yudenikh===

Born in the Das'nrra Empire to a noble family in 2412, Akym Yudenikh survived the First Revolution by escaping to Northern Harr'masir and hiding his identity. After the Hadiist occupation of the Kingdom of Kaltir, Yudenikh joined the People's Republic bureaucracy; he became responsible for the administration of the local rail system. Akym was infamous for his corruption; he frequently sold permits, disregarded contraband reports, and accepted bribes.

Because of his background, Akym was contacted by the underground royalist movement. He quickly became one of the main supporters of the group; he used his position within the Hadiist government to secure supplies and funding for the incoming uprising. Weapons, machinery, and ammunition were diverted to the Royalist cells. Akym was awarded the title of baron, a seat in the parliament, and some land confiscated from the People's Republic when Vahzirthaamro returned. However, his ambitions did not stop there. Using the money made from his time as a Republican bureaucracy, alongside whatever profit he could extract from his new holdings, Yudenikh continued to acquire more estate. Newly liberated farms were sold to him at a meager price thanks to his connections within the government. In a question of years, he became a Grand Duke and one of the major landowners of the New Kingdom. Akym controversially used prisoners of war as workers in his plantations during the Second Revolution as part of deals with the military.

Following the Armistice, Akym Yudenikh now leads the Royalist Party; his main mission is to maintain the status quo. The continuation of the constitutional monarchy and the privileges of the nobility align perfectly with his interests. He is one of the major supporters of further deals with megacorporations. Grand Duke Akym is not afraid to use his position to protect his interest in the parliament. Under his vision, prosperity for the New Kingdom means more power and wealth to its elite.

===Prince Serhiy Oliinyk===

Born as the third son to a family of Njarir'Akhran in 2434, Serhiy Oliinyk's life was profoundly affected by events over which he had no control. Raised in a household of avid royalists supporters, Serhiy was exposed to his parents' ideology since his youth. However, the boy had his reservations in regards to the possible return of the monarchy; he doubted that they could truly avoid the mistakes of the past. For his support during the uprising in Northern Harr'masir, the patriarchy of the Oliinyk family was given a seat in the parliament, a title of nobility, and a modest tract of land. Serhiy mistakenly believed that he could escape his bloodline's obligation thanks to his status as the third child. He already had a passion in his life: playing the P'rrama.

The war was cruel to the Oliinyk. Serhiy's brothers were killed while serving the army. This put him in an uneasy position as the heir of a parliamentary seat. The growing debt forced his father to sell whatever land they had left; the Oliinyk had officially joined the ranks of landless nobility. The final blow came in 2459 with the bombing of the Parliament; Serhiy inherited his progenitor's seat after his demise in the attack. The young musician was thrown into the midst of the New Kingdom's politics. Influenced by his social status and beliefs, he aligned himself to the Commoners Party.

If he is truly unable to escape his fate, Prince Serhiy decided to make the best out of it. Because of his age and a family full of martyrs, Serhiy became the Commoners Party's main spokesperson. Convincing the Queen to support the Populists will not be easy; the Conservatives and Absolutists are far more powerful and influential. A powerful strategy is necessary to guarantee the Commoners Party triumph in the parliament. Serhiy plans to retire from politics after the hereditary parliamentary positions are abolished and the Kingdom is fairer to its population. He hopes to return to his greatest passion: music.

===Count Tscherim Sanguszkho===

Hailing from a cadet house of the Rrhakaslov dynasty, Tscherim Sanguszkho was born in 2433 shortly after his family escaped to Kaltir to avoid the First Revolution's massacres. He was raised on a small farm frequented by disposed nobles and royalist sympathizers. Sheltered from the rest of Adhomai, he grew only knowing the world only through the nostalgic tales of pre-contact Njarir'Akhran, The Sanguszkho family was quick to offer their support to King Azunja when he returned; the Tscherim's father was given a seat in the parliament. Tscherim became a low-ranking officer in the army.

Tscherim Sanguszkho's military career came to an end in 2460 when he was gravely wounded in combat. Taking advantage of his pension and family's position, Tscherim spent the next years in gentlemen's clubs. In these places, he entered into contact with radical Absolute Royalists and became deeply interested in [[Tajaran Minor Religions#Ancient Tajara Theory|esoteric beliefs]]. Tscherim founded his organization in 2462: the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity. Drawing inspiration from the stories of an idealized pre-First Contact society, the ideology known as Revival Royalism was born from the Fraternity's meetings. Posing as a regular club, Tscherim was able to introduce other nobles to his ideals. Knowing that the task of enforcing the old order was not an easy one, Sanguszkho chose a common enemy to unite the kingdom against: the Tajara of mixed heritage.

Tscherim's plan came to fruition when his father died in a car accident in 2463; he inherited a landed title, a state, and a seat in the Parliament. Shortly after, the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity opened its membership to the public and made its intentions clear. Thanks to a deal with the Officers and Royal parties, the Fraternity became the fourth faction in the Parliament. Despite being the leader of the smallest Party, Count Tscherim has already begun to plot to slowly introduce his ideology into the New Kingdom.

===Ser Mrakhanjurl Ii'rka===

Mrakhanjurl was born in 2422 in a Zhan-Khazan family in a small village outside Olska. He received little education nor traveled far outside his village. As soon as he came of age at 16 he joined the rest of the village mining bauxite ore to be shipped to Olska to make aluminum. He eventually lost both parents to lung cancer from the mine's poor ventilation before he was 23. In 2452, when he was 29, he traveled with a dozen other Zhan-Khazan miners several miles to Olska to join a protest against the new legislation of President Hadii that was meant to crack down 'subversive elements' that many felt were unfair to Zhan-Khazan. The army was called in and brutally repressed the demonstration, which saw Mrakhanjurl narrowly escape with his life. He returned to his village to find that it had been torched by the republican army for housing subversive agitators.

Mrakhanjurl mourned the loss of his village and was picked up by rebel militia, who revealed that they had managed to provide early warning to the village and evacuate over a dozen people, but the army had managed to find and kill all but a handful of survivors. In gratitude for the rebels dying for his village, and to avenge the deaths, Mrakhanjurl joined the armed resistance that eventually joined itself under the New Kingdom of Adhomai. In a very short few years became a remarkable marksman, gaining the most recorded kills of any Tajara sniper. Current New Kingdom estimates put Mrakhanjurl's kill count at 285, 32 of those enemy PRA snipers.

Mrakhanjurl also managed to evacuate countless civilians from Republic territory to northern New Kingdom holdings. During the famous ''Rout of the 2nd Battalion'', in which New Kingdom defenders unsuccessfully attempted to prevent Republican forces from capturing Baltor, Mrakhanjurl assumed command of the 4th Company after both its leading officers had been killed by sniper fire. Despite a serious gunshot wound to the leg Mrakhanjurl began shouting orders and rallied the shattered defenders, who were the last line of defense between the advancing Republic forces and thousands of refugees attempting to flee the city. The ''Rally of the 4th Company'' on 2456 successfully managed to delay advancing Republic troops long enough for thousands of more refugees to escape into New Kingdom territory who would otherwise face atrocity.

For his bravery and growing fame (which was now considered too important to risk in the war effort), Mrakhanjurl was given the Order of the Victorious Sun, the highest honor in the New Kingdom, as well as being the first Zhan-Khazan in history to be given the noble rank of Ser. He remains a hero to the Zhan-Khazan and the New Kingdom.

===King of the Mountains Rustam Harmaliik===
[[File:harmaliik portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the king in his riding regalia, done in 2454.]]
Rustam Harmaliik was born in 2427 as the son of a deposed Njarir'Akhran noble family. He spent most of his youth in the rural region of Harr'masir, where he had contact with some groups of Rhazar'Hrujmagh that inhabited the region. As an adult, he found employment in law enforcement and was sent by the People’s Republic to support the efforts to settle the rock nomads of the Harr’masir region in 2448 as a Republican official.

While working alongside the authorities to make sure that the nomadic Zhan would accept and adopt a sedentary lifestyle, Rustam grew more interested in their culture and became skeptical of the Hadii’s regime and how they were treating the Rock Nomads. Unrest among the Rhazar'Hrujmagh soon followed, and Rustam would try to offer his support in any way possible, such as sabotaging equipment shipment or relaying misleading intelligence. The government soon realized his treason, forcing Rustam to abandon his post and escape into the wilderness.

Rustam found shelter among a caravan of the Rhazar'Hrujmagh, and soon adopted their way of life. Unrest and resistance continued among the rock nomads, and Harmaliik joined their struggle against the People’s Republic. With the New Kingdom’s rebellion, the control of the region waned and the Republican efforts shifted to other problems, which allowed the nomad resistance to blossom into guerrilla warfare. Rustam climbed the ranks of his caravan’s forces, winning prestige and favor by leading them against the Republican forces.

The second revolution happened, and the Rhazar'Hrujmagh resistance continued. Rustam assumed the leadership of his adopted caravan and aimed to acquire more support among the other Rock Nomads. Through the years of the conflict, he gathered more men and wagons under his command, through diplomacy or conquest, but limiting himself to defensive tactics, ambushes, and raids. The political stance of Harmaliik has always been one of neutrality in the conflict, never compromising fully with the Adhomai Liberation army, due to his Njarir’Akhran origins and monarchist sentiments, and never declaring any support to the New Kingdom, in fear of losing the trust of his fellow nomads,

Due to a republican offensive against the nomadic guerrillas in 2461, Rustam decided to declare himself the Almalik’Rhazar, a word roughly translated as "leader of the mountains", following an ancient nomadic tradition that allows the largely independent Rock Nomad caravans to elect a ruler among themselves. This decision alienated him from his ALA allies and the other nomads, forcing him to side with the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Harmaliik and his caravans have joined the kingdom war effort. He and his people were later granted the southeast territories of the New Kingdom for their support during the conflict.

===Brother Mikhail Ordau===
Little is known about Mikhail Oradu’s parentage. He was given to the Parivara at a very young age, left on the doorstep of Miran'mir's abbey. Thus the Family took him in as they do many small children, teaching him and educating him about S’rendarr and Messa. Mikhail was an accomplished writer for his age, but a speech impediment left him at a disadvantage when it came to oral presentations. The boy was known to be bookish, and spent much of his free time in the abbey’s library as well as its restricted section, thanks to his close friendship with the abbot.

He had an unusual interest in the sciences for a clergyman. As the Second Revolution loomed ahead, and whispers of splitting from the Republic crept into the local city, he busied himself with reading and tending to the monastery’s garden. Eventually, Miran’mir and all of northern Harr’masir split from the Republic to form the New Kingdom. With the war came plenty of hardship, and the Priests of S’rendarr did their best to help alleviate the tragedy amongst the peasants.

With little farmable land and a severe manpower disadvantage, the New Kingdom struggled to provide for its people. Starvation was a very real threat, and the abbey’s garden was not sufficient. A conflicted Mikhail turned once again to the abbey’s library and science for an answer; and, as though a miracle from the Suns themselves, one came. He discovered an ancient text detailing breeding methods for slaves, from long before the First Revolution. Suggestions on how to pass on desirable traits and mannerisms; to breed subservience. Controversial, but an unknowing descriptor of genetics and hereditary traits.

It was armed with this knowledge that Mikhail set about breeding new plants. Earthen roots, dirt berries, and more were cultivated for generations by Mikhail, aiming to pass on traits like hardiness and vitality. The plants became much more accustomed to growing in harsh conditions thanks to his work, and as the New Kingdom pushed back the Republicans and gained more territory, these hardier plants were easier to grow in the shell-shocked muddy battlefields. The threat of starvation became less and less pressing as more and more farms could deal with the way the war affected the terrain. For his efforts, Brother Mikhail was afforded a personal audience with the King.

===Oleg Al'Mor===
Born Oleg Murkov Al-Al’Mori in 2400, Oleg was a teenager when humanity stumbled upon the Tajara. His simple life of working and indentured servitude was suddenly upended with the influx of new ideals; he and his family, along with a contingent of other refugees of war avoided the conflicts erupting across the planet by staying in the mountains of Northern Harr’masir. To pass the time and keep themselves entertained, the telling of fireside epics became common. Oleg was noted to be imaginative with his tales even then, regaling other Tajara with stories of war and love.

Eventually, however, the nomadic hunter-gatherer life in the mountains could no longer support their numbers, and Oleg’s group descended from their hiding place. By this point, rebel armies had mostly taken hold of Kal’tir and the surrounding areas, giving Oleg relative freedom. When the war finally came to an end in 2432, Oleg was well known as a traveling bard and performer who earned his living using his creative skills entertaining war-weary soldiers and newly freed slaves. The stability that came with the formation of the People’s Republic afforded Oleg the opportunity to settle down in Kal’tir once again, where he took an interest in the local theater scene.

His first play, The Jester’s End, pioneered the form of black comedy and was a throwback to the days of servitude. Over the course of his career in Kal’tir, Oleg penned many more plays under his pseudonym Oleg Al’Mor, out of fear of inviting reprisals from the People’s Republic. Oleg’s plays were often scandalous or controversial for challenging the traditional morality held by Tajara. However, as time went on, his works became formulaic and much less shocking, and thus by extension more palatable to the average Tajara. Black comedy found a good home amongst the countless war veterans of the First Revolution.

Oleg considered himself an intellectual, and when the New Kingdom of Adhomai split from the People’s Republic he was an outspoken supporter. He and his family had experienced the benefits of the old ways, and with his considerable wealth from play royalties, he financed the New Kingdom with donations. Sadly, Oleg Al’Mor passed away in December of 2460 after completing his final work. The play, titled A Maiden’s Voyage, was particularly well-received, with even the King himself getting a private showing. Many of his works are still performed in theaters all over the New Kingdom’s territory.

==Others==

===Father Valyan K'rrirran===

''"From the stars, he saw Adhomai's cities and mountains become nothing more than specks. When he beheld the planet from far away, he realized that it was a small dot within this vast new galaxy. It was then he saw how truly special our homeland and our people are."''

''-Father Valyan K'rrirran, written as the ending to the prologue in his novel "An Introduction to The Twin Suns", 2430.''

Born in 2406 to a family of merchants in Dras’nrra, Valyan chose to join the faith at a young age, and became a fully-fledged Priest of S'rendarr in the midst of the First Revolution. It was during this time that Valyan had also become one of the first few Tajara to leave Adhomai. Settling on Xanu Prime in 2426 and remaining there until the war’s end in 2431, Valyan provided much of the first glimpses into the theology of the Tajara during this time. He, later on, returned home after publishing his novel written in Tau Ceti Basic on the history of the S’rendarr and Messa. Following the Second Revolution, he had replaced Walid Al’qat as The Father of the Parivara after Al’qat died of heart failure. Since gaining his position in 2462 the new Father has already demonstrated to Adhomai that he is able to rise to the task of leading the Parivara. Alongside his archivers, he had revealed misinterpretations in the vows of the Suns Sisters and amended the Vow of Silence to the original Vow of Whispers.

The Father has kept this momentum of progress going forward. In the same year, he began to assist with several archeological digs across Adhomai to gather more information on not just the history of the Suns faith, but also of the Tajara people. Much of this collection is digitalized and shared through a newly developed site (Simply dubbed “Parivara and Tajara History.pra”.) made by an influx of well-educated acolytes. Now, any curious Tajara or alien can find a trove of information on the Parivara and new details on the species’ history. This mix of preserving old traditions alongside progressing aspects of the church has made Valyan popular among the younger generations of Tajara, kindling their interest in the faith.

However, Valyan is not free of controversy. Some conspiracy theorists believe that he could have had a hand in the death of the previous Father, citing the lack of provided medical care and the quick selection of Valyan as the new Father. Others point to his connection to the revitalized Kin of S’rendarr and believe him to be funding the Kin, supplying them with off-world equipment and arms to continue their war against whoever is deemed the faith’s enemy. Nonetheless, these are regarded as little more than baseless rumors by much of the population.

===Rikdar Al'Manq===

Rikdar was born on '''2429''' the noble Njarir’Akhran Bayan line in Nal'Tor, with Bayan being his birth name. However, his parents were disappeared by Republic secret police in one of the frequent purges of Njarir’Akhran and he was put into state-run foster care. He has raised in the ''House Of Young Patriots'' orphanage until he was adopted at 14 to Hharar parents and took their last name of Al'Manq. As he was going to school his parents and teachers immediately took notice of his artistic abilities and interest in painting, which the orphanage had initially tried to discourage. In 2446, when he was 18, Rikdar won an art contest where he submitted a portrait of his Environmental Geology teacher and gained a prestigious scholarship in the Nal'Tor University of The Arts, a state-funded institution.

Rikdar attended the university for several years, though his studies were sometimes interrupted or delayed by the periodic waves of anti-Njarir’Akhran demonstrations and violence that gripped the campus. However, he quickly became a prodigy amongst his peers. Al'Manq's style of oil painting and doing portraits became a sensation in the capital, with the mayor and several city officials requesting their portraits done. Rikdar graduated from university at 20 years old in '''2450''' with a Bachelor of Arts. Having already received several high-profile commissions, including the then-President Al'Mari Hadii, whose portrait was done a week before his death. Al'Manq managed to survive the resulting chaos across Adhomai following the assassination of Al'Mari Hadii by the nature of his celebrity status, but his popularity remains confined within the major cities.

At only 29 years old in '''2458''' the ''Al'Manq Style'' has already become a famous style of painting across Adhomai. The Al'Manq Style is noted for its use of rich oil-based paint that focuses on portraits and profiles. The colors are often bold or show rich texture and color. The hands of Tajara are painted without being anatomically correct. Critics blast Al'Manq's apparent inability to draw hands correctly but Rikdar has stated that it's his personal style. This has influenced other artists, and many attempting to pay homage to Al'Manq draw hands as stubby. Rikdar remains extremely popular on Adhomai. The People's Republic remains a quiet supporter of his work, and state officials pay him handsome commissions for their portraits to be done, though they frown on him taking commissions from New Kingdom officials as well. The Adhomai Liberation Army has painted Rikdar as just another nobleman and several members of the Liberation Army have given open contempt for his work.

===Bloodstorm===

Bloodstorm is a famous and infamous DPRA Heavy Metal Band that has surged in popularity with the younger “denier” generation. Those in this generation are categorized by their refusal of modern Tajara convictions but also human influences, instead of turning to their roots.

====Vargir Stenovich “Godslayer”====

The lead guitarist of the group, Vargir Stenovich is known as the spokesperson of the band and the most controversial figures. Admitting to being a Raskara cultist in public and calling out the Parivara on their “bedding with the government”. Vargir has been involved in numerous scandals including protesting military parades, playing one of his songs next to a work camp without permission, and lastly ingesting drugs on live television and proceeding to slander the ALA for bombing the NKA parliament.
[[File:Al-Atil.png|200px|thumb|right|Photo of Al-Atil at the Mztel'Mir concert, "War Is Fuck, Let's Do It", circa 2459.]]

====Janos Al-Lung “Drowner”====

Janos is the bassist of Bloodstorm and the only band member without a criminal record. He has frequently butted heads with Stenovich over the political extremities the band goes through to discredit not only PRA and NKA but also DPRA.

====Al-Atil Csihar “Nightmaster”====

The vocalist, Al-Atil, is known for his “mrowl”, a high, long, yelp that is recorded as the loudest sound produced by a Tajara. He loves to interact with the public and often stays behind on the podium to sign autographs and fans, the latter of which he uses black spray paint.

====Cecil Kernov “Bloodletter”====

Cecil is the Drummer and has the longest time served behind bars. Kernov has his nickname for a reason as he’s been charged with armed assault. He had brutally assaulted a fan who had climbed on stage with a drum, getting it stuck on said Tajara’s head and pushing him off the stage with a dropkick.

====The Mist “Mih”====

A yet unknown band member by the public, “Mih” remains anonymous always wearing a mask in public and never speaking. He plays the P'rrama, an old Tajara string instrument, with 8 strings mirrored in a long horn-like pipe that extends to the ground which emits a loud, brass twanging noise described as an over-amped guitar.

'''Most Notable Albums Include:'''

The Freezing Blizzard - An early, traditional album, mediocre without the employment of the P'rrama.

War Is Fuck, Let's Do It - The core most popular album drawing similarities between war and love.

If Messa Was Here She'd Be a Whore - First anti-Parivara album created, criticizing their ignorance towards women and discrimination of female priests.

We Live in a Society - WLiaS describes pure hatred of every single faction present not even sparing Sol or Tau Ceti.

Shell In, Spine Out - Another anti-war album, describing the life of a dying soldier.

S'rrendar Loves You Except He Doesn't - Repeated hatred of Parivara, slander, and is famous for having a recording of Cecil attacking a fan with the drum.

If You're Old You Should Die - Scolding critique of the old leading system and a call for the younger generation to disregard the politicians and tear it all down.

[[Tajara|Tajaran]] history and society has a long list of notable individuals and heroes that are known across [[Adhomai]].

==People's Republic==

''"Comrades, in this struggle we fight to protect the progress we have fought so hard to make in the preceding decades. Our march forever onwards for a Hadiist society must not be stopped by the usurpers who would see us become a brutish military dictatorship, nor those fetid imperialists who would restore the atrocities of the old ways."''

''- President Njadrasanukii Hadii, in a televised address to the people in 2452.''
===President Njadrasanukii Hadii===

[[File:Hadii portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the president, done in 2460.]]
Njadrasanukii Hadii, also known as Malik Hadii, was born in '''2402''' to the noble Njarir'Akhran Hadii line. His mother was Rajjurl Hadii, and his father Tajrhalrr Hadii. He got involved with the military at an early age, becoming a cadet for the Royal Navy at 16 and achieving a commission as a Lieutenant-Commander at 22, and leading his own destroyer as a Captain at 29. During the revolution, he briefly fought for the loyalists but was recalled to the Hadii Citadel to help defend his family's ancestral home. Following the revolution and the Hadii's rise in the new Federal Republic, Njadrasanukii was given the office of Vice-President under his brother Al'Mari Hadii.

Malik assumed the presidency in '''2451''' after the assassination of Al'mari. He continued his brother's early agenda of collaborating with NanoTrasen and other galactic powers. Njadrasanukii purged any suspicious elements from his administration after the Nated's coup, consolidating his power through the imprisonment and execution of anyone that threatened his regime. Further authoritarian measures were established by him; the expansion of the secret police, the rapid industrialization of the PRA, and further persecution against those who did not conform to his policies. Under Malik Hadii's control, the current form of Hadiism took shape; an ideology focused on the creation of a monolithic Tajaran culture under the unquestionable guidance of the Hadii political line. The office of the president had its powers largely expanded under his rule, allowing Njadrasanukii to control all aspects of the People's Republic government. Total loyalty to Njadrasanukii is expected from all Party members.

A state-endorsed cult of personality has been established around President Hadii. Through a robust propaganda system, republican citizens are informed daily about Malik's achievements and how only through his guidance the Republican can prosper. Portraits of President Hadii can be found in most Hadiist homes and government buildings. Njadrasanukii is known for his speeches praising his own administration and the bravery of his people; his voice can be heard frequently on the radio. While many admire him as a strong leader, others fear his ruthless ways of dealing with the opposition.

President Hadii is famous for his extreme paranoia. Very few high-ranking members of the Party have direct access to him and little is known about his private life. He is constantly surrounded by hand-picked members of the secret service; those bodyguards are always under the risk of being purged for any reason. It is rumored that he has survived more than three hundred assassination attempts.

Despite the outcome of the Second revolution, Njadrasanukii continues to rule the People's Republic with an iron grip. He did not give up his plans of reestablishing Hadiist hegemony over Adhomai.

===Headmaster Harrrdanim Tyr'adrr===
[[File:headmaster portrait.png|200px|thumb|left|A rare picture of the camera shy Tyr'adrr, taken during the closure of an illegal protest, dated to 2459.]]
Harrrdanim was born in '''2425''' to a M'sai family serving the Hadii during the First Revolution. Wishing to follow in the footsteps of his parents, he joined the Hadiist Party at a young age. He soon caught the attention of the People's Strategic Intelligence Service due to his craftiness and was given a position in the agency. Despite enjoying moderate success during the late years of Al’mari’s rule, Tyr'adrr rose to prominence after the President’s assassination. Leading several purges within the secret service, he was able to secure a promotion as the Headmaster after the previous head was arrested for suspicious behavior. Under Tyr’addr’s control, the PSIS became the feared terror machine it is today. Heavy investments in surveillance technology, the establishment of a robust web of informants, and the large-scale repression of political opponents greatly weakened the opposition in the People’s Republic. His supposed adventures during this period have spawned an entire "spy thriller" genre in the Republic.

After helping secure President Hadii's rule, Headmaster Harrdanim focused his efforts on fighting the Liberation Army and the New Kingdom. Ruthless anti-partisan campaigns were carried out under his supervision. The displacement of Chaniska’s native population, scorched-earth tactics in Northern Ras'nrr, and the creation of Try'urma Penitentiary were among some of his orders during the conflict. His actions during the Second Revolution earned him the reputation of being merciless and bloodthirsty. In spite of several assassination attempts, ALA agents failed to murder him and he continued his reign of terror unimposed.

Even after the Armistice, Headmaster Harrdanim continues to work tirelessly to undermine the enemies of the Republic. He has a large interest in securing the Tajara population living outside of Adhomai and is responsible for the PSIS presence in District Six. He is eager to suggest more authoritarian solutions and believes in increasing, even more, the state’s control over the population. Because of the role of the Strategic Service in the government, Tyr'adrr is one of the most powerful and hated Tajara in the People's Republic. While seemingly loyal to President Hadii, many in the Party fear where Tyr'adrr's ambition might lead him.

===Party Secretary Yakiv Hadii===

Yakiv Hadii was born in '''2412''' as the second cousin to President Hadii. While too young to take part in the First Revolution, Yakiv joined the Hadiist Party as soon as he could. During Njadrasanukii’s rule, he excelled as a bureaucrat due to his organizational skills. He managed the distribution of land and the establishment of communal farms during the Republican Agrarian reforms. Through a combination of political maneuvers and nepotism, he quickly climbed the Party's ranks. Yakiv sought to further the Republican relationship with NanoTrasen, seeking their support for the development of Adhomai. This stance caused him to lose Al’mari’s favor during the years leading to the Second Revolution. He was then demoted to an unimportant position in the Ministry of Agriculture.

Yakiv returned to prominence after Rhagrrhuzau’s assassination; he was seen as a way to link Malik’s rule to his now-deceased brother. Following the abolishment of the office of vice-president, Yakiv was promoted as the Party Secretary by Njadrasanukii. He became responsible for the internal organization and reviewing applications to the Party; he was quick to remove many of his political opponents from power using his new powers. Known as unquestionably loyal to President Hadii, he became infamous for being nothing but a yes man. He continued his policy of maintaining good relations with megacorporations, lobbying for more deals with NanoTrasen. Countless Tajara were given the opportunity to leave Adhomai due to his efforts, most sold as cheap labor while some others were able to acquire higher education. During the final stages of the war, he was one of the main proponents of the need for foreign intervention to save the People's Republic.

After the Armistice, Yakiv remained as Party Secretary. He is one of the closest advisors to President Hadii, helping Malik in matters related to internal and external affairs. Despite being an orthodox Hadiist, he is eager to push for changes to appease NanoTrasen and other foreign powers in an attempt to gain their support. Many within the Party see Yakiv as a power-hungry and untrustworthy politician, eager to abuse his power to reach what he wants. Others recognize him as a cunning politician with a rather dangerous influence over President Hadii.

===Minister of Defense Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar===

Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar was born into a Hharar peasant family in '''2428'''. He was raised around veterans of the first revolution and was always interested in their stories. Owing to the new opportunities brought by the People’s Republic, Irbaykhan enrolled in a military academy and joined the Grand People's Army as an officer. He survived the purges of the early Hadiist government because of his political reliability; as he was one of the first army leaders to support President Hadii during his ascension. This left him in the privileged situation of being one of the few properly trained officers at the dawn of the Nated’s coup.

Irbaykhan quickly climbed the ranks of the Republican Army during the Second Revolution. Making extensive use of artillery and motorized troops, he secured early victories that gave much-needed breathing room to the fragile Republic. While in command of the Dymtris Front in '''2456''', he pushed the New Kingdom into the defensive position that they would remain in until the very end of the war. Mirarkiizar’s final promotion during the conflict was to the theater commander of the Rass’nrr Military District. With the help of the alien allies of the Republic, he managed to recapture the main region of the continent. He was given a seat in the Ministry of Defense after the Armistice, working alongside the upper echelons of the Party to refine the Republic’s strategy.

Unlike most members of the Ministry of Defense, Irbaykhan has both political connections and practical experience in the field. This combination has made him one of President Hadii’s closest advisors in regard to military matters. Currently, he is responsible for the Hro'zamal campaign. Mirarkiizar sees the Grand People's Army as an essential component of the Hadiist state; the ever-vigilant guardian of the Republic against its enemies. The Minister believes that strict discipline and union towards a common goal is the best way to safeguard the future of the People’s Republic.

===Minister of Technology Zhuldyz Hadii===

Born in '''2420''' to the Hadii dynasty, Zhuldyz enjoyed the many privileges granted to her family. She grew up fascinated by the new technologies brought by human contact; she would spend hours tinkering and dismantling electronics during her childhood. Later she was sent to study in prestigious Solarian universities, where she ventured into the field of robotics. Zhuldyz returned to Adhomai in 2449 and was granted a post in the Ministry of Technology.

Using the knowledge acquired off-world, Zhuldyz drew plans with the objective of modernizing the Republic through a technological revolution. The rapid industrialization aided by mechatronics would bring prosperity to the Tajara. While many of her initial projects were abruptly interrupted by Rhagrrhuzau's assassination, she remained in her position due to being a member of the Hadii dynasty. The unstable early years of Njadrasanukii’s presidency were unfavorable towards her dreams; stopping Nated’s coup and the Royalist uprising were top priorities at the time. However, as the frontlines stagnated and a semblance of normalcy returned to the People’s Republic, Zhuldyz had the chance to convince President Hadii of her plans. Knowing that losing the war would put an end to her pursuits, she turned her genius to the military field. Victory could be achieved through technological superiority. She was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Hadii Institute of Orbital Research|Hadii Institute of Orbital Research]], the expansion of the [[Tajara_Space_Capability#PRA_Army_Wing|Orbital Fleet]], and the creation of the Tesla Brigade. Zhuldyz was promoted to the office of the Minister of Technology shortly before the Armistice.

The Adhomian Cold War became the perfect testing ground for Zhuldyz's projects. She sees the period of peace as an opportunity to turn the People's Republic into a technological powerhouse. Zhuldyz believes that the future of Hadiism lies in science and that the Republic must become advanced enough to subjugate its enemies. Minister Hadii is not interested in ethical or safe research; she is eager to pursue dangerous and questionable experiments. No price is too small to pay during the march of progress. President Hadii gave Zhuldyz near uncontested authority to lead the Ministry of Technology. She was the mind behind the creation of the first independent robotic factory on Adhomai.

===Secretary of the Navy Hura'zhi Mira'zkui===

Born in '''2422''' to an exiled line of minor nobility from the Zatushka Kingdom, Mira’zkui grew up in the chaos of the First Revolution as the armies of the Hadiist rebels marched across Adhomai. When the dust had settled, despite his personal wishes to enter the party itself, his family would convince him to uphold their old traditions and join the forming Republican Navy in '''2447'''. It was then that Mira’zkui met Dynhaas and joined the Oceanmasters Lounge.

During the chaos of Dynhaas’ defection in '''2450''', Mira’zkui narrowly avoided his own death. Informed early by a loyal lieutenant that his own crew was plotting to kill him, Mira’zkui fled in a lifeboat and watched as his fellow officers were thrown screaming from the decks of their own ships. A few days later, he was found on the shores of Ras’nrr. As the Republic fell into chaos, Mira’zkui returned to the Republican Navy as Secretary, entrusted by Malik Hadii to fight against the pirate flotillas of the ALA and the Royal Navy. However, Mira’zkui’s loyalty was not able to make up for his inexperience. While the last of the Liberation Army’s pirate vessels were sunk, he was unable to contend with the strength of the Royal Navy and unable to achieve his personal desire: Capturing or killing Dynhaas.

Post-War, Mira’zkui has largely become reclusive and withdrawn from the public eye. While he continues to try and develop the Republican navy, Mira’zkui is forced to contend with funding going towards the projects of the Orbital Navy and Grand People’s Army. With a relationship of mutual dislike between himself and Zhuldyz Hadii, many within the party believe that Mira’zkui will likely be replaced eventually. How he would react to being denied any chance for revenge against Dynhaas is something no one knows.

===Chief Naval Commander Samirro Qarrarhaz===

Born in Northern Ras’nrr in '''2407''', Samirro was the son of a loyal M'sai general in the Hadii Hegemony. Qarrarhaz's family raised and taught him to follow in his father’s footsteps. He would become an artillery officer in '''2428''', finding great success during combat against monarchist groups through using extensive shelling to force and flush out the enemy. By '''2431''' Qarrarhaz was moved into Southern Harr’masir to prepare for an invasion of the Kingdom of Kaltir. His artillery crews were among those who scoured the Kingdom following its surrender, shelling whatever villas, castles, and manors they had found. A staunch ally of Al’mari Hadii and his family, Qarrarhaz has always stood by the Hadii family and the republic they had later built.

While also providing training for future artillery commanders in the interwar period, Qarrarhaz became part of a committee formed by President Al’mari Hadii to plan and prepare a space fleet for the PRA. He, along with other committee members, traveled to the Coalition of Colonies' planets of Xanu Prime and Himeo to observe anti-piracy operations in order to better develop the PRA’s own future space warfare doctrine in '''2452'''. When the Orbital Fleet was completed by '''2457''', Qarrarhaz was appointed Chief Naval Commander by President Malik Hadii. Since then, he has won numerous victories against piracy, smugglers, and even bested a [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/?do=findComment&comment=114422 Sol cruiser].

Post-war, Qarrarhaz continues to lead his spaceships and Kosmostrelki in the defense of the PRA’s claimed space. Comfortable and experienced in his position, Qarrarhaz has begun to speak more on the future of the PRA’s ventures into space. Controversially, the Commander has stated that the PRA must eventually extend its hand to the numerous small colonies and off-worlder communities dotting the frontier around them. Arguing that Hadiism’s light must be spread beyond Tajara, it is his belief that the PRA must one day uplift these groups from their poverty and absorb them into the state.

===Minister of Education Kalim Khazdar===

Kalim Khazdar was born in '''2430''' to a family of Hharar foremen in the city of Tampiska. Deemed a bright child by his teachers, he was sent to study in Al'marii. Captivated by the tales of progress and prosperity brought by the interwar period, Kalim enrolled at the Al'marii College of Hadiist Sciences. He continued his studies intending to become a college teacher. During his time as a student, he became a good friend and protégé of the rector of the university, Mahir Hadii. His friendship with a member of the political dynasty opened many doors for him.

Kalim joined the Hadiist party during the Second Revolution. He later visited Tau Ceti to study the Adhomian community there; his experiences in District Six deeply affected his ideas. He saw all the social problems that those who lived under the megacorporation rule were subject to. Instead of losing faith in Hadiism, he started to believe that reforms were necessary to save the People's Republic; NanoTrasen should be a means to an end, not the end itself. Kalim returned to Adhomai in 2459 and became a college professor. Thanks to his connections, he soon got involved with the administration and politics of the university. His papers on the subject of Hadiist education were generally well-received by the academia.

With the Armistice of Shastar, Kalim Khazdar aligned himself to the Young Hadiist faction; his sympathy towards the movement was largely unknown to the Party. His ascension to the position of Minister of Education in 2463 was the result of a confidential deal between his mentor and President Hadii. Despite being considered a powerless and inexperienced politician by the other members of the Hadiist cabinet, Kalim is not to be underestimated. Cunning will be necessary to avoid the wrath of President Hadii and his lackeys. The path to a truly free People's Republic will be a long and difficult one.

===Yasmin Piaf===

[[File:Yasminp.jpg|150px|thumb|right|A photograph of Yasmin Piaf handed out at a concert, 2459.]]
Yasmina Burokov, aka Yasmin Piaf, was born in 2434 in the suburbs of Nal'tor to a particularly well-off Njarir'Akhran family. Yasmin's father, Boris Burokov was a low-ranking State department official and devout loyalist of the People's Republic. She spent her childhood being educated in the best State-run schools their family could afford and enjoyed relative wealth and prosperity far from the poorer outskirts of the city.

Even from a young age, Yasmin was interested in music. She was part of her school's choir and participated in several nationwide contests for the honor of singing for President Rhagrrhuzau Hadii. The all-female 'Band of Njarir Maidens' consisting of Yasmin and her classmates eventually won and sang for the President and other members of his cabinet at the end of the annual military parade held in Nal'tor. Eventually, she graduated and went on to the Academy of Musical Arts with a full scholarship.

Talent scouts pruning the burgeoning academy's student pool for the next starlet eventually discovered Yasmin during rehearsals for the school's upcoming musical, and she signed a tentative deal with the small publication Vostak Recordings. Her first record, simply titled The Man in Rouge, was released with minimal fanfare. Given that she had sung a small solo during her performance for the President, some Tajara recalled her name.

Yet her voice, described by some as angelic and innocent, found purchase with an aging generation of Tajara who wished a brief return to peaceful normalcy following the First Revolution. Her dedication to the traditional pop standard and recognition for torch songs eventually elevated her to the status of a household name, with her recording label releasing hit after hit. As a result, Yasmin Piaf has become one of the most famous singers in the modern era - one who has fostered a close relationship with State officials. She is one of the few artists who are approved to be played on State radio KGTW-11.

===Andrey Borisov===

Out of all the Tajara that one could argue embody loyalty to the People’s Republic, perhaps none are more memorable than Andrey Alexander Borisov. In the average Republican household, his name is just as common as President Hadii’s, owing to the fact that he is the face of State propaganda and news network RAFИ. Born in 2416 to a line of M’sai warriors, Andrey was not even two years old before humanity stumbled across Adhomai and lit the flame that ignited the First Revolution.

Andrey’s father and uncle were killed in the uprising, leaving him, his mother, and his sister alone to fend for themselves. His mother curried favor with the local rebel leader when their town fell to the onslaught of war; she became his concubine and, later, his wife. The ever-advancing front saw Andrey moved from home to home, where the young M’sai would often spend time talking to soldiers recovering after harsh fighting. They nourished a sense of patriotism in him, and eventually, he came to see the First Revolution as necessary for the future of the Tajara.

The war ended in 2432, when he was merely 16 years old. As the newly founded People’s Republic began the arduous transition from a movement to a government, Andrey’s connections with the upper echelon of PRA politicians bore fruit. He was taken on as a member of an officer’s general staff, headquartered in Nal’Tor, where he served as little more than a glorified secretary. His position put him in contact with the elite, however, and many found him charming and personable. His silver tongue earned him the interest of Dmitrys Marakov, the owner of the only State-approved television station at that point in time.

His ascension from lowly secretary to the major news anchor for RAFИ was one that involved plenty of political maneuvering, money - and, rumored by some, violence - but ultimately Andrey had proved his loyalty to the political elite of the People's Republic and he was rewarded with the honor of being their mouthpiece. As a result, no Tajara on Adhomai can go very long without seeing his smiling face on their television set, spinning the next story or cover-up at the behest of the State.

==Democratic People's Republic==

''"We are soldiers. We are fighters. We are war. We have forsaken the corrupt and decaying corpse of the xeno-loving People's Republic. We have left our homes and our families, but our cause is righteous. The suns are with us! The vile usurper of my friend and comrade Al'mari will have justice delivered to him! We will spill the blood of our enemies until our struggles are seen and heard, and we WILL retake OUR Republic!"

''- Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan, the day after the coup de tat began, 2451.''

===Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan===
[[File:Nateed portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A surprise picture of Nated, taken in 2458.]]
Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan was born in '''2404''' to a M'sai family under the service of the Hadii Dynasty. The son of a royal guard, Nated interacted with many Njarir children in his early life. He grew to resent their narcissism but was prepared to inherit his duty nonetheless. When the First Revolution ignited in '''2421''', Halkiikijr fought for the loyalists alongside the Hadii family. Becoming a battle-brother of Rhagrrhuzau Hadii, or better known as Al'Mari Hadii, Nated stood with the Hadii’s decision to abandon their royal roots and join the revolutionaries. When the war ended Al'Mari was sworn into office, Halkiikijr was made a Commander in Chief of the Republican Army in return for his service.

Al'Mari supposedly made promises of swearing-in Halkiikijr as the next president of the People's Republic once the political climate on Adhomai had stabilized. The legitimacy of this claim is not known, but what is known is that Al'Mari was assassinated during a military parade in '''2451''' and Njadrasanukii Hadii, vice president of the People's Republic, swore himself in as the successor of the presidency. Outraged at the assassination and accusing Njadrasanukii of treachery against the People’s Republic, Nated organized a coup against Malik. Bringing together military commanders dissatisfied with the new Hadiist policies, Halkiikijr created the Adhomai Liberation Army to dethrone the new President. He then took the title of Supreme Commander.

As the putsch attempt was thwarted by the Hadiist forces, Nated fled to Shastar City. The coup then turned into a full-blown civil war between the Liberation Army and the People’s Republic. Without off-world help, Nated called to arms anyone willing to support his cause. His movement became a unifying front to all kinds of elements opposing President Hadii; from democratic reformers to extremists fighting to free Adhomai from alien influence. For a decade, Halkiikijr led the Liberation Army as an effective opposing force against the People’s Republic and the New Kingdom. He favored the extensive use of irregular warfare coupled with the deployment of the army to secure decisive battles. A cult of personality formed around Halkiikijr; extremists claimed that he was a prophet sent by the Gods. The Supreme Commander took advantage of this belief to cultivate undying loyalty and fanaticism among his followers.

Believing that the territories under his control were ready for a democracy modeled after the Al'mariist principles, Nated's undisputed rule came to an end with the creation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai. Halkiikijr retired from his position as Supreme Commander to prevent a coup against the newly elected president. His retirement did not last long; he returned to power because of the Amohdan crisis in '''2462'''. Nated was given back the control of the Liberation Army and its remaining juntas to retake the Island of Amohda. After this display of weakness, Halkiikijr is unsure if the DPRA is truly ready to rule Adhomai. For him, the ALA is now more essential than before. Nated also faces infighting between his two right-hand men; commander Kahan and Kyff.

===Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad===

Kahan Hro'rammhad was born in '''2412''' to a Hharar family as their oldest children. A peasant from birth in the region of Southern Harr'masir, he was taught the traditional values of S'rendarr and Messa by his deeply religious parents. His childhood was cut short by the outbreak of the First Revolution; his family was expelled from their lands by the war. Thanks to its flat terrain, Southern Harr’masir saw the first deployment of armored vehicles in the conflict; trains, civilian cars, and trucks were outfitted for warfare by the rebels. Hro’rammhad joined the crew of an armored car as soon he turned 14 years old. Because of the high mortality among the revolutionaries, Kahan quickly found himself in the command of his own brigade. He became famous for his excellent use of the vehicles’ speed to encircle the enemy, and for his merciful nature. Monarchists soldiers were always given the chance of joining his side after capture. Hro’rammhad also forbade unnecessary executions and mistreatment of prisoners among his fighters.

Commander Kahan and his brigade were incorporated into the Hadiist faction shortly before the end of the First Revolution. As a member of the Republican Army, he was a major proponent of the transformation of the People’s Army into a motorized force. Tank brigades and motostrelki units were created under his supervision. Kahan funded the reconstruction of many temples destroyed during the revolution and frequently donated to charity through the interwar period. Hro’rammhad joined Nated’s coup due to his profound disagreement with Malik’s policies; he saw the oppression of the Zhan-Khazan as morally corrupt. Armored units that defected alongside him were organized into the Hro'rammhad Tank Corps under his command.

Hro'rammhad remained a merciful and pious Tajara through the Second Revolution. He rejected the notion of irregular warfare and continued to offer mercy to his enemies. As the leader of the main armored force in the Liberation Army, Kahan played an important role in decisive battles. This position allowed him to become a right-hand man for Nated. As part of his religiousness, Hro'rammhad considered the conflict to be a battle to protect the faith against the innate atheism of Hadiism. Religious imagery and motifs became common among his Tajara. The men under Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad are known to have the utmost respect for his bravery and mercy, most even going so far as to worship him as an embodiment of S'rendarr's justice. His success during the civil war earned him the nickname of “Undefeated Commander''.

Despite the armistice, Commander Kahan remains as one of the second-in-command for Halkiikijr. He is an avid supporter of the transition to democracy, advocating for the dismantlement of the juntas. This position earned him many enemies among the more authoritarian elements within the Liberation Army. He is known to despise Commander Kyff Hotak for his tactics and personality. Both Tajara are currently engaged in an internal struggle to consolidate their influence over the Liberation Army.

===Commander Kyff Hotak===

Born in the year '''2406''' to a family of Zhan-Khazan miners in the Trizar, Kyff Hotak was supposedly destined to slave away for his Njarir master as his ancestors did for many generations. To avoid this fate, Hotak fled his home as a young Tajara. He ran into the wilderness until he found a bandit camp. Because of his age, the brigands decided to adopt Kyff as the group’s mascot. The boy grew up witnessing all kinds of crime and violence; later taking part in the band’s activity when old enough. The bandits sided with the rebels during the First Revolution in search of plunder. But their greed was their undoing; the criminals were massacred by the revolutionaries after they were discovered stealing rations. Hotak survived by being the one to report the activities of his previous comrades. As the war dragged on, Kyff became more bold and cruel in his revolutionary activities. He frequently engaged in assassinations, massacres, and false flag operations to crush the monarchists’ morale. Hotak was soon feared by his comrades and hated by his enemies. To him, everything was permissible to achieve victory. Impressed by the victories of the Hadii faction, he joined them as part of the early Ha'narr Corps.

The interwar period was fairly unremarkable for Kyff Hotak; he was given a low-ranking office position in the intelligence department. While Hotak advocated for the recreation of a force similar to the Mountain Ghost Corps, his request was ignored by the Hadiist high command. Memories of his excess in the First Revolution stopped Hotak from receiving any further promotions. He grew discontent with the People’s Republic, believing that he deserved more for his service. Seeing Nated's coup as an opportunity to rise to power, Kyff defected to the Liberation Army without hesitation.

Hotak organized his own unit of commando early into the war; a battalion trained in stealth operations. As a major proponent of irregular warfare, he also helped organize guerilla cells and coordinate terrorist attacks. The success of these groups granted him enough influence to become one of Nated's right-hand men. However, Commander Kyff quickly returned to his old ways; he started to wage a campaign of unrestrained terror. The presence of his soldiers became a harbinger of indiscriminate persecution, murder, excessive property requisition, and collective punishment against any community suspected of working with the enemy. Despite the protest of the civilian population and Commander Kahan, Halkiikijr refused to replace Kyff. Taking advantage of his reputation, Hotak ordered his Tajara to spread stories of him being the earthly manifestation of Messa's wrath. This tactic proved to be effective both among his enemies and allies.

Commander Kyff Hotak remains in service even after the armistice. Many within the army and the civilian administration desire to see Hotak punished for his war crimes, but Supreme Commander Nated continues to protect him. Kyff is a hardline supporter of the more authoritarian elements in the government and desires a strong centralized leadership above all else. He and Commander Hro'rammhad are rivals; both Tajara commonly fight each other over which direction the Liberation Army should go. Hotak is always accompanied by his pet [[Adhomai#Farwa (Tree-Hopper)|Farwa]], Ghiyath.

===President Almrah Harrlala===
[[File:harrlala portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the president during one of her speeches, done in 2461.]]
President Almrah Harrlala was born in '''2426''' to a family of Hharar factory workers in Shastar City. While her childhood was relatively unaffected by the First Revolution, she enjoyed many of the benefits brought by the People’s Republic during the interwar period. Being the first member of her household to receive a proper education, she became involved in the Party’s politics at a considerable young age. She believed that a stable democracy built upon the will of the people was the best path for Adhomai. She was also wary of the presence of megacorporations on the planet, considering their activities as harmful to the development of the Tajara species She campaigned for more worker’s rights and laws restricting corporation’s activities in the PRA. Almrah held a position within the Party until the ascension of President Njadrasanukii Hadii; he ordered the arrest of Harrlala due to her views.

Harrlala was held prisoner in Shastar during the first moments of the Civil war, only the capture of the city by the Liberation Army saved her from being transferred to another location. Hoping to continue her career in politics, she aligned herself with the rebels. Even if the despotic and extremist tendencies of the ALA worried Almrah, she held to Nated's promise of saving the Republic. She was given the position of Provisional Minister of Civil Rights when the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai was established.

As the Minister of Civil Rights, Almrah worked to protect the regional identities present in the DPRA. Her campaign to end military rule over the country while still upholding the principles of Al’mariism made her a popular figure among the moderate sectors of the population. Seeking to expand her political influence, she founded the National Adhomai Worker's Party. She was one of the candidates in the presidential elections of '''2460'''; she won the office of president by a narrow margin. President Harrlala’s ascension to power displeased the authoritarian wing of the Liberation Army, the military then planned a coup to restore their own rule. The putsch was stopped by the intervention of Supreme Commander Nated, who later resigned from his position to grant more powers to the civilian administration.

Following the Armistice, President Almrah Harrlala continued with her internal policies while maintaining a strong stance against foreign dominance. Under her rule, schools to preserve local cultures and languages were established, Gakal’zaal was liberated from the Unathi rule, and the DPRA developed its nuclear program. Her status as one of the first female rulers in modern Tajaran history has inspired many women to engage in DPRA politics. However, her regime is plagued with deep issues. The ghost of separatism lingers over the nation after the Amohdan attempt to secede. Her ability to reconcile the various factions in the government was severely doubted when she failed to draw a plan to handle the rebellious island. Since the return of Halkiikijr to power, the authoritarian elements see this as a moment of weakness in the young Republic. President Harrlala must be ready to face further opposition if she wants to see her vision of Adhomai come to life.

===Ex-interim President Brajrr Alnadruskiy===

Born in '''2423''' in the city of Mztel’mir, Brajjr Alnadruskiy was the youngest child of a family of brewers. He later joined the Republican Army at 17 years old, slowly climbed the ranks through diligent service to the military. Brajrr attributed the prosperity of interwar Adhomai to the strong leadership of President Al’mari; he believed that the Republic always needed a strongman in control to succeed. He severely doubted Malik’s competence because of his decision to undo his brother’s reform.

Brajrr finally rose to prominence with Nated's coup. Upon hearing of the revolution, he rallied the Liberation Army’s aligned troops in Das’nrra to assault Shastar. Alnadruskiy's attack was successful and he was named the Rrhaza-Akhran of the city. Shastar became the headquarter of the ALA, giving Brajrr a reasonable amount of influence within the army high command. He was known for his rigorous discipline and unforgiving nature. Many war prisoners were forced into labor by his orders. Brajrr was given the position of Interim President when the Democratic People’s Republic was created.

Alnadruskiy ran for president in the 2460 elections, seeking to centralize the nation and maintain the Army’s sway over the government. He founded the Free Tajaran People’s Party, gathering the most authoritarian elements in the Republic. After Almrah Harrlala’s victory by a narrow margin, he took part in the putsch against the newly elected president. Despite the defeat of the mutiny, Brajrr managed to convince Halkiikijr that he was forced by the extremists to join them. He was released and allowed to return to politics.

Ex-interim President Brajjr Alnadruskiy now leads the opposition to Harrlala’s regime. He continues to support a centralized state under the leadership of Supreme Commander Nated. Even when the successes of the current administration displease him, their latest crisis has given him enough to challenge Almrah. The return of Halkiikijr to the control of the Army is also considered a victory for him and his followers. Alnadruskiy awaits for the right moment of weakness to retake control of the DPRA.

===Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar===

The first and thus far only incident of weapons of mass destruction being employed on Adhomai happened in 2458, when the People’s Republic dropped a four-megaton nuclear bomb on the Liberation Army base in Quizosa. The death toll from the detonation was staggering, but the fallout from the bomb was carried on strong winds, leading to severe cases of radiation poisoning from the neighboring camps.

Tajara medical experience with radiation poisoning and the effects of nuclear bombs were practically non-existent. The only species in the galaxy that had the technology long before the Tajara were Xenos, and the Liberation Army did not have the luxury of free contact with extraplanetary forces. With the sick and dying mounting, a call for help was sent out to the surrounding territories. Many physicians and doctors made the long and difficult journey in the winter snows to help - at the forefront of them, Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar.

The effects of the bomb were catastrophic. Survivors were badly burned. Their fur fell out, never to grow back again - leaving them susceptible to Adhomai’s frigid temperatures. Their skin peeled off in sickly ribbons, hanging limply to the ground. Doctors were at a loss, with only a rudimentary understanding of what could have happened. Dr. Aleksandra took a sort of unofficial command of the medical effort, and coordinated efforts to assist the sick and dying.

Liberation-sympathetic Tajara, at her prodding, recovered as many documents as they could regarding the atom bomb from PRA-aligned holdings, downloading information from the extranet and thieving textbooks from high-security locations. Thanks to her ingenuity and leadership, the haphazard medical team of doctors saved a great many innocents from a slow, painful death - though they would have to live with the effects of the bomb for the rest of their lives. Dr. Aleksandra is widely known for her opposition to nuclear proliferation, due to her experiences, and has become the face of a growing anti-WMD movement across Ras’narr.

===Arzjun Haurjuhrl===

Rumors persist that Arzjun Haurjuhrl was sired out of wedlock, a result of an affair between a Zhan-Khazan mistress and a rebel leader. He was born in '''2427''' in the warmer regions near the city of Olska, and lived alone with his mother. He was scarcely a child when the war ended and the People’s Republic came to prominence. Both he and his mother suffered much in the way of discrimination - for being Zhan-Khazan as well as having a bastard child. This disconnect between what the People’s Republic promised and the way they were treated caused the young Arzjun to become disillusioned with the Republic.

He was further tested when his mother suddenly fell ill and died in the winter of 2445. With nothing left tying him down, abandoned as he had been by Adhomain society, he took what little funds they had been saving and paid a smuggler to carry him off-world. It took every penny but eventually, he found himself in Mendell City, carrying nothing but the clothes on his back. For a time, he lived on the streets, forced to beg to make ends meet. He soon found work at one of the shelters he had often stayed at. The community of Little Adhomai was more welcoming to him than the homeworld had been.

Deciding to pay back the kindness he received, he took part in many community outreach programs, including plays and dramas for the children of Little Adhomai. His passion for the arts as a medium of expression took root here, and his name rose to some prominence amongst the local Tajara population thanks to his charity work. He aspired to work on his own big picture and got his chance thanks to the collective donations of many Tajara. Wealthy Xenos also had an interest in seeing what the immigrant could do, though perhaps a few thought it would look good as a public relations move.

The script he wrote went through many revisions and sat for a good while before it was picked up by a studio. The community who had helped him before had done it once again; the surprise blockbuster When Summer Came to Nazira was one of the top ten highest-grossing films in Biesel history. Its anti-tyranny message was seen by some as an expression of the director’s own viewpoint on the People’s Republic. In some ways, they were correct - Arzjun is a quiet supporter of the DPRA, which has put him at odds with the Republican government. As a result, his film is banned from showing on Adhomai - though this has not stopped smuggled copies from being distributed amongst DPRA theaters.

==New Kingdom==

''"Loyal subjects, countrymen, brothers. It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that we must conscript from the provinces in order to maintain our fight in this war. However, you are not alone. Even as the new compulsory service legislature is passed, the aristocrats across the kingdom are likewise mobilized under a new service gentry system, so that all of the Kingdom is together in this struggle."''

''- King Vahzirathaamro Azunja, announcing the beginning of conscription and formalization of the service gentry in 2453.''

=== King Vahzirthaamro Azunja===

King Azunja was born in 2400 in the city of Kaltir to the noble Njarir’Akhran Azunja line. His father was Farkhanzirhal and his mother Dramahdarmah. Located in the far reaches of Kaltir, the Azunja family line was one of compassion and fair treatment, as only in unity and brotherhood could they hope to survive the harsh far reaches of Northern Adhomai. Their peasants were kept well and treated with dignity, and the nobles, while privileged, never indulged in cruelty. A noble paige since the age of 10, Vahzirthaamro excelled in reading and writing from an early age. He prepared to inherit the family throne as the sole son of his parents until the first civil war of Adhomai ignited in 2421.

When war broke out between the nobility and peasants, house Azunja was hesitant to pick sides, as they disagreed with the morals of both sides. Their distant position in the wild made them capable of ignoring the war until its end, as the Hadii family was placed at the head of Adhomai in 2432. Carrying the flags of the newly founded People's Republic of Adhomai, the Republic's army demanded the surrender of all nobility in Kaltir. The entire populace requested to be left in peace, as the peasantry and nobility there had never declared war on one another. Believing the peasants were utterly spineless and brainwashed, the People's Republic executed all current nobles ruthlessly, scattering the royalty of the region. Vahzirthaamro was placed in prison by his father's retinue of intellectuals, who declared he had to remain hidden amongst the lowest of the low if he wished to stay alive. From that moment on, Vahzirthaamro Azunja knew that peace was impossible so long as a compromise was not made, and a true constitutional monarchy was made the unanimous government on Adhomai.

Word passed amongst the Tajara at the work camps about the possibility that Vahzirthaamro still lived as many pre-war intellectuals gathered with him in private. They spun every possibility of a government, even discussing adopting human political systems as they gathered workers, fighters, poets, and philosophers to form an organized nation as they spread their ideas to the guards of the facility, a majority of which who were old peasants under the Azunja family who thought the entirety of the nobility had been executed. Delighted to see his return, they joined his side and swore allegiance to his family once more.

In 2449, in the middle of the night, Vahzirthaamro was released in secret along with the entirety of his retinue, as they quickly spread from town to town, asking for assistance from newly appointed officials and workers. Before long, the reminiscent families of the Kaltir region were happy to rejoin their flock. By 2450 his claim to rule had spread to all of Northern Harr'masir, and the New Kingdom of Adhomai officially seceded as an independent nation under the newly declared King Vahzirthaamro Azunja. He then led the Kingdom for the next decade, managing the balance between the different factions within the government and the ongoing war. Vahzirthaamro became a unifying figure for the population. After successfully securing Kaltir's ancient lands and negotiating the armistice that brought the end to the war, King Vahzirthaamro passed away in 2463. His niece, Shumaila Azunja, inherited his throne.

===Queen Shumaila Azunja===

[[File:Shumaila portrait.png|200px|thumb|right| A portrait done of Queen Shumaila Azunja, holding the ceremonial orr'bu s'rrendar, circa 2460.]]
Shumaila Azunja was born in 2431 in Northern Harr’smirr, as the daughter of one of the kingdom’s princes. She survived the Republican slaughter by being hidden away among the peasantry, raised in secret by individuals still loyal to the old ruling dynasty. From a young age, Shumaila began to participate in secretive royalist circles within Kaltir. Here, she began her service to the kingdom by helping distribute leaflets proclaiming the coming of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. When the uprising broke out in 2450, she joined the new Imperial Adhomian Army. Shumaila then rose through the officer ranks quickly, becoming a commander in the Jabrut Almumalik and establishing a name for herself on the front.

Many of those who served under Shumaila describe her as being a woman of unbreakable will, never faltering as casualties stacked or as barrages shattered the ground around her. Some even say she wouldn’t even blink at the sight of the PRA’s dreaded tanks rolling towards the lines. For her exploits in the war’s 2459 offensive and the defense of the Vlrralkhzazhul line, Shumaila came to be known as “The Storm of Harr’smir”, matching her iron will with a burning fury to destroy the kingdom’s enemies.

In 2460, after meeting with several prospective heirs, King Vahzirthaamro had chosen his niece Shumaila to serve as the Crown Heir. Although the majority supported this decision alongside most of Parliament and the nobility, a large fraction remained wary of the decision of a military leader over other options. However, this opposition has shrunk over the past few years. Shumaila remains strong on her position of expanding the military, but she has also spoken about increasing ties to the galaxy’s Megacorporations to modernize the New Kingdom. Nor has she made any comments regarding changing the democratic systems of Parliament and the Chamber. Coupled with her public appearances and active presence in the newspapers, many woes and worries of her ascension have been dissuaded.

Since entering the public eye in 2459, Shumaila enjoys much support from the women of Kaltir. Many look to her as an inspiration, buying “military” style jackets to emulate her look, given that Shumaila became one of the few Tajara women to lead a nation. However, this fame has also led to calls from the nobility and her family to choose a husband. Shumaila retains that her marriage comes after her coronation. She was finally crowned in 2463 after King Azunja passed away. Outside of continuing her uncle's legacy, her plans to the Kingdom are still unclear to the wide public
[[File:Marshal portrait.png|200px|thumb|left| A portrait of Field-Marshal Zarkradar'Akhan, circa 2420.]]
===Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan===

Rrhazhal was born in '2380 to the noble Njarir’Akhran Zarkradar'Akhan line, however, he was a legitimized bastard of a Zhan-Kazan maid. As the youngest of his brothers, Rrhazhal was sent into the service of the Azunja family as King Farkhanzirhal Azunja's servant at the age of 10. King Azunja noticed the young child had a talent for philosophy and strategy. The two had many intellectual discussions together as Rrhazhal quickly became a trusted advisor of King Farkhanzirhal by the time he was 20. At this time, King Azunja decided he trusted Rrhazhal with protecting the life of the newly born Vahzirthaamro. On the eve of the First Civil War, Rrhazhal was tasked with training the peasantry of Kaltir in order to defend their fiefdom and nobility against attackers. When Kaltir was annexed by the People's Republic of Adhomai in 2432, Farkhanzirhal frenziedly ordered Rrhazhal to hide Vahzirthaamro before People's Republic soldiers stormed the palace, killing almost everyone. From then on Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan personally accompanied Vahzirthaamro Azunja as his protector and chief advisor.

In 2450, once the New Kingdom had officially declared independence from the People's Republic of Adhomai, Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan was promoted to the rank of Field-Marshal personally by King Azunja, and today oversees all military operations inside of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Respected for his tactical skill but notorious for his radical belief that a compromise is not possible and a complete return to the old nobility is Adhomai's only option for peace, Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan is one of the oldest fighting nobles left on Adhomai.

===Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas===

Hailing from a royal cadet line and born in 2402, Dynhaas followed his father and brothers to join the Das’nrra Empire’s navy at a young age. When the First Revolution came, naval losses coupled with the rebel conquest of Das’nnra resulted in Dynhaas, the last man left of his line, surrendering and being imprisoned. With the war’s end in 2432, Dynhaas was offered a pardon by the Party in exchange for developing the Republican Navy. He would come to accept this over the alternative of death.

Accepting his defeat and believing that the age of nobility came to an end, Dynhaas came to view the Republican Navy as his new purpose in life. He worked to advance it alongside other pardoned nobles and founded the Oceanmasters Lounge, a private club within the naval officer corps. This path in life would change with the announcement of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Believing that a way to restore the old glory days of kingdoms laid with the NKA, Dynhaas began to plan a revolt. Partnering with other sympathetic admirals, he had the Republican Navy’s Grand Admiral and several other loyalists killed on a fateful night at the Shastar Naval Base before fleeing eastwards in 2450. In the same year that the New Kingdom was declared, Dynhaas delivered them the strongest naval force Adhomai had ever seen. King Azunja had declared him the Kingdom’s Grand Admiral shortly after meeting with Dynhaas in Miran’mir.

With the Republican Navy's command almost crippled and the ALA unable to compete with their dominance of the sea, Dynhaas used his fleets during the war to support and supply the Royal Army while helping smash the enemies of the New Kingdom. The artillery barrages of his ships were important in coastal battles during the NKA's offensives while their supremacy saved the Royal Marines from certain destruction following the failed Ras'nrr expedition. The prestige of his position made Dynhaas an instant celebrity in the NKA as well. Many propaganda reels and photos showed him as a majestic lord of the sea, something he capitalized on heavily to present himself as the very pinnacle of noble glory. Always well-groomed, well-dressed, and impeccable at talking despite whatever circumstances he was in, Dynhaas never passed the opportunity to host an interview. Most notable was Dynhaas' interview on his opinions of xenos of the S'rand’marr coalition, conducted on his capital vessel while it sieged Nal'tor in the final stages of the war. His statements on Unathi and Skrell were less than positive. After the expulsion of the People's Republic from Harr'masir in 2461, Admiral Mahtra infamously ordered the Royal Navy to engage in an unrestricted bombardment campaign of the eastern Hadiist coast. Cities and villages were targets of frequent naval artillery strikes; the battleships shelled military and civilian targets indiscriminately. The Navy infamously used incendiary shells during these attacks, causing entire neighborhoods to be engulfed in firestorms.

Post-war, Dynhaas went on several speaking tours in the first year of the armistice. Traveling from city to city, his public events were used to promote his upcoming biography and drew crowds in the tens of thousands. Politically, he maintains that the future of the NKA always lies within the navy, and that the industry of the New Kingdom must always retain a heavy focus on their shipyards. Dynhaas has also been vocal in his beliefs of a stronger monarch, often using the emergency powers King Azunja had as an example of the strong benefits that could come with such. He is yet to comment at all on his supposed rival, Mira'zkui, at all.

===Grand Duke Akym Yudenikh===

Born in the Das'nrra Empire to a noble family in 2412, Akym Yudenikh survived the First Revolution by escaping to Northern Harr'masir and hiding his identity. After the Hadiist occupation of the Kingdom of Kaltir, Yudenikh joined the People's Republic bureaucracy; he became responsible for the administration of the local rail system. Akym was infamous for his corruption; he frequently sold permits, disregarded contraband reports, and accepted bribes.

Because of his background, Akym was contacted by the underground royalist movement. He quickly became one of the main supporters of the group; he used his position within the Hadiist government to secure supplies and funding for the incoming uprising. Weapons, machinery, and ammunition were diverted to the Royalist cells. Akym was awarded the title of baron, a seat in the parliament, and some land confiscated from the People's Republic when Vahzirthaamro returned. However, his ambitions did not stop there. Using the money made from his time as a Republican bureaucracy, alongside whatever profit he could extract from his new holdings, Yudenikh continued to acquire more estate. Newly liberated farms were sold to him at a meager price thanks to his connections within the government. In a question of years, he became a Grand Duke and one of the major landowners of the New Kingdom. Akym controversially used prisoners of war as workers in his plantations during the Second Revolution as part of deals with the military.

Following the Armistice, Akym Yudenikh now leads the Royalist Party; his main mission is to maintain the status quo. The continuation of the constitutional monarchy and the privileges of the nobility align perfectly with his interests. He is one of the major supporters of further deals with megacorporations. Grand Duke Akym is not afraid to use his position to protect his interest in the parliament. Under his vision, prosperity for the New Kingdom means more power and wealth to its elite.

===Prince Serhiy Oliinyk===

Born as the third son to a family of Njarir'Akhran in 2434, Serhiy Oliinyk's life was profoundly affected by events over which he had no control. Raised in a household of avid royalists supporters, Serhiy was exposed to his parents' ideology since his youth. However, the boy had his reservations in regards to the possible return of the monarchy; he doubted that they could truly avoid the mistakes of the past. For his support during the uprising in Northern Harr'masir, the patriarchy of the Oliinyk family was given a seat in the parliament, a title of nobility, and a modest tract of land. Serhiy mistakenly believed that he could escape his bloodline's obligation thanks to his status as the third child. He already had a passion in his life: playing the P'rrama.

The war was cruel to the Oliinyk. Serhiy's brothers were killed while serving the army. This put him in an uneasy position as the heir of a parliamentary seat. The growing debt forced his father to sell whatever land they had left; the Oliinyk had officially joined the ranks of landless nobility. The final blow came in 2459 with the bombing of the Parliament; Serhiy inherited his progenitor's seat after his demise in the attack. The young musician was thrown into the midst of the New Kingdom's politics. Influenced by his social status and beliefs, he aligned himself to the Commoners Party.

If he is truly unable to escape his fate, Prince Serhiy decided to make the best out of it. Because of his age and a family full of martyrs, Serhiy became the Commoners Party's main spokesperson. Convincing the Queen to support the Populists will not be easy; the Conservatives and Absolutists are far more powerful and influential. A powerful strategy is necessary to guarantee the Commoners Party triumph in the parliament. Serhiy plans to retire from politics after the hereditary parliamentary positions are abolished and the Kingdom is fairer to its population. He hopes to return to his greatest passion: music.

===Count Tscherim Sanguszkho===

Hailing from a cadet house of the Rrhakaslov dynasty, Tscherim Sanguszkho was born in 2433 shortly after his family escaped to Kaltir to avoid the First Revolution's massacres. He was raised on a small farm frequented by disposed nobles and royalist sympathizers. Sheltered from the rest of Adhomai, he grew only knowing the world only through the nostalgic tales of pre-contact Njarir'Akhran, The Sanguszkho family was quick to offer their support to King Azunja when he returned; the Tscherim's father was given a seat in the parliament. Tscherim became a low-ranking officer in the army.

Tscherim Sanguszkho's military career came to an end in 2460 when he was gravely wounded in combat. Taking advantage of his pension and family's position, Tscherim spent the next years in gentlemen's clubs. In these places, he entered into contact with radical Absolute Royalists and became deeply interested in [[Tajaran Minor Religions#Ancient Tajara Theory|esoteric beliefs]]. Tscherim founded his organization in 2462: the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity. Drawing inspiration from the stories of an idealized pre-First Contact society, the ideology known as Revival Royalism was born from the Fraternity's meetings. Posing as a regular club, Tscherim was able to introduce other nobles to his ideals. Knowing that the task of enforcing the old order was not an easy one, Sanguszkho chose a common enemy to unite the kingdom against: the Tajara of mixed heritage.

Tscherim's plan came to fruition when his father died in a car accident in 2463; he inherited a landed title, a state, and a seat in the Parliament. Shortly after, the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity opened its membership to the public and made its intentions clear. Thanks to a deal with the Officers and Royal parties, the Fraternity became the fourth faction in the Parliament. Despite being the leader of the smallest Party, Count Tscherim has already begun to plot to slowly introduce his ideology into the New Kingdom.

===Ser Mrakhanjurl Ii'rka===

Mrakhanjurl was born in 2422 in a Zhan-Khazan family in a small village outside Olska. He received little education nor traveled far outside his village. As soon as he came of age at 16 he joined the rest of the village mining bauxite ore to be shipped to Olska to make aluminum. He eventually lost both parents to lung cancer from the mine's poor ventilation before he was 23. In 2452, when he was 29, he traveled with a dozen other Zhan-Khazan miners several miles to Olska to join a protest against the new legislation of President Hadii that was meant to crack down 'subversive elements' that many felt were unfair to Zhan-Khazan. The army was called in and brutally repressed the demonstration, which saw Mrakhanjurl narrowly escape with his life. He returned to his village to find that it had been torched by the republican army for housing subversive agitators.

Mrakhanjurl mourned the loss of his village and was picked up by rebel militia, who revealed that they had managed to provide early warning to the village and evacuate over a dozen people, but the army had managed to find and kill all but a handful of survivors. In gratitude for the rebels dying for his village, and to avenge the deaths, Mrakhanjurl joined the armed resistance that eventually joined itself under the New Kingdom of Adhomai. In a very short few years became a remarkable marksman, gaining the most recorded kills of any Tajara sniper. Current New Kingdom estimates put Mrakhanjurl's kill count at 285, 32 of those enemy PRA snipers.

Mrakhanjurl also managed to evacuate countless civilians from Republic territory to northern New Kingdom holdings. During the famous ''Rout of the 2nd Battalion'', in which New Kingdom defenders unsuccessfully attempted to prevent Republican forces from capturing Baltor, Mrakhanjurl assumed command of the 4th Company after both its leading officers had been killed by sniper fire. Despite a serious gunshot wound to the leg Mrakhanjurl began shouting orders and rallied the shattered defenders, who were the last line of defense between the advancing Republic forces and thousands of refugees attempting to flee the city. The ''Rally of the 4th Company'' on 2456 successfully managed to delay advancing Republic troops long enough for thousands of more refugees to escape into New Kingdom territory who would otherwise face atrocity.

For his bravery and growing fame (which was now considered too important to risk in the war effort), Mrakhanjurl was given the Order of the Victorious Sun, the highest honor in the New Kingdom, as well as being the first Zhan-Khazan in history to be given the noble rank of Ser. He remains a hero to the Zhan-Khazan and the New Kingdom.

===King of the Mountains Rustam Harmaliik===
[[File:harmaliik portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the king on his riding regalia, done in 2454.]]
Rustam Harmaliik was born in 2427 as the son of a deposed Njarir'Akhran noble family. He spent most of his youth in the rural region of Harr'masir, where he had contact with some groups of Rhazar'Hrujmagh that inhabited the region. As an adult, he found employment in law enforcement and was sent by the People’s Republic to support the efforts to settle the rock nomads of the Harr’masir region in 2448 as a Republican official.

While working alongside the authorities to make sure that the nomadic Zhan would accept and adopt a sedentary lifestyle, Rustam grew more interested in their culture and became skeptical of the Hadii’s regime and how they were treating the Rock Nomads. Unrest among the Rhazar'Hrujmagh soon followed, and Rustam would try to offer his support in any way possible, such as sabotaging equipment shipment or relaying misleading intelligence. The government soon realized his treason, forcing Rustam to abandon his post and escape into the wilderness.

Rustam found shelter among a caravan of the Rhazar'Hrujmagh, and soon adopted their way of life. Unrest and resistance continued among the rock nomads, and Harmaliik joined their struggle against the People’s Republic. With the New Kingdom’s rebellion, the control of the region waned and the Republican efforts shifted to other problems, which allowed the nomad resistance to blossom into guerrilla warfare. Rustam climbed the ranks of his caravan’s forces, winning prestige and favor by leading them against the Republican forces.

The second revolution happened, and the Rhazar'Hrujmagh resistance continued. Rustam assumed the leadership of his adopted caravan and aimed to acquire more support among the other Rock Nomads. Through the years of the conflict, he gathered more men and wagons under his command, through diplomacy or conquest, but limiting himself to defensive tactics, ambushes, and raids. The political stance of Harmaliik has always been one of neutrality in the conflict, never compromising fully with the Adhomai Liberation army, due to his Njarir’Akhran origins and monarchist sentiments, and never declaring any support to the New Kingdom, in fear of losing the trust of his fellow nomads,

Due to a republican offensive against the nomadic guerrillas in 2461, Rustam decided to declare himself the Almalik’Rhazar, a word roughly translated as "leader of the mountains", following an ancient nomadic tradition that allows the largely independent Rock Nomad caravans to elect a ruler among themselves. This decision alienated him from his ALA allies and the other nomads, forcing him to side with the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Harmaliik and his caravans have joined the kingdom war effort. He and his people were later granted the southeast territories of the New Kingdom for their support during the conflict.

===Brother Mikhail Ordau===
Little is known about Mikhail Oradu’s parentage. He was given to the Parivara at a very young age, left on the doorstep of Miran'mir's abbey. Thus the Family took him in as they do many small children, teaching him and educating him about S’rendarr and Messa. Mikhail was an accomplished writer for his age, but a speech impediment left him at a disadvantage when it came to oral presentations. The boy was known to be bookish, and spent much of his free time in the abbey’s library as well as its restricted section, thanks to his close friendship with the abbot.

He had an unusual interest in the sciences for a clergyman. As the Second Revolution loomed ahead, and whispers of splitting from the Republic crept into the local city, he busied himself with reading and tending to the monastery’s garden. Eventually, Miran’mir and all of northern Harr’masir split from the Republic to form the New Kingdom. With the war came plenty of hardship, and the Priests of S’rendarr did their best to help alleviate the tragedy amongst the peasants.

With little farmable land and a severe manpower disadvantage, the New Kingdom struggled to provide for its people. Starvation was a very real threat, and the abbey’s garden was not sufficient. A conflicted Mikhail turned once again to the abbey’s library and science for an answer; and, as though a miracle from the Suns themselves, one came. He discovered an ancient text detailing breeding methods for slaves, from long before the First Revolution. Suggestions on how to pass on desirable traits and mannerisms; to breed subservience. Controversial, but an unknowing descriptor of genetics and hereditary traits.

It was armed with this knowledge that Mikhail set about breeding new plants. Earthen roots, dirt berries, and more were cultivated for generations by Mikhail, aiming to pass on traits like hardiness and vitality. The plants became much more accustomed to growing in harsh conditions thanks to his work, and as the New Kingdom pushed back the Republicans and gained more territory, these hardier plants were easier to grow in the shell-shocked muddy battlefields. The threat of starvation became less and less pressing as more and more farms could deal with the way the war affected the terrain. For his efforts, Brother Mikhail was afforded a personal audience with the King.

===Oleg Al'Mor===
Born Oleg Murkov Al-Al’Mori in 2400, Oleg was a teenager when humanity stumbled upon the Tajara. His simple life of working and indentured servitude was suddenly upended with the influx of new ideals; he and his family, along with a contingent of other refugees of war avoided the conflicts erupting across the planet by staying in the mountains of Northern Harr’masir. To pass the time and keep themselves entertained, the telling of fireside epics became common. Oleg was noted to be imaginative with his tales even then, regaling other Tajara with stories of war and love.

Eventually, however, the nomadic hunter-gatherer life in the mountains could no longer support their numbers, and Oleg’s group descended from their hiding place. By this point, rebel armies had mostly taken hold of Kal’tir and the surrounding areas, giving Oleg relative freedom. When the war finally came to an end in 2432, Oleg was well known as a traveling bard and performer who earned his living using his creative skills entertaining war-weary soldiers and newly freed slaves. The stability that came with the formation of the People’s Republic afforded Oleg the opportunity to settle down in Kal’tir once again, where he took an interest in the local theater scene.

His first play, The Jester’s End, pioneered the form of black comedy and was a throwback to the days of servitude. Over the course of his career in Kal’tir, Oleg penned many more plays under his pseudonym Oleg Al’Mor, out of fear of inviting reprisals from the People’s Republic. Oleg’s plays were often scandalous or controversial for challenging the traditional morality held by Tajara. However, as time went on, his works became formulaic and much less shocking, and thus by extension more palatable to the average Tajara. Black comedy found a good home amongst the countless war veterans of the First Revolution.

Oleg considered himself an intellectual, and when the New Kingdom of Adhomai split from the People’s Republic he was an outspoken supporter. He and his family had experienced the benefits of the old ways, and with his considerable wealth from play royalties, he financed the New Kingdom with donations. Sadly, Oleg Al’Mor passed away in December of 2460 after completing his final work. The play, titled A Maiden’s Voyage, was particularly well-received, with even the King himself getting a private showing. Many of his works are still performed in theaters all over the New Kingdom’s territory.

==Others==

===Father Valyan K'rrirran===

''"From the stars, he saw Adhomai's cities and mountains become nothing more than specks. When he beheld the planet from far away, he realized that it was a small dot within this vast new galaxy. It was then he saw how truly special our homeland and our people are."''

''-Father Valyan K'rrirran, written as the ending to the prologue in his novel "An Introduction to The Twin Suns", 2430.''

Born in 2406 to a family of merchants in Dras’nrra, Valyan chose to join the faith at a young age, and became a fully-fledged Priest of S'rendarr in the midst of the First Revolution. It was during this time that Valyan had also become one of the first few Tajara to leave Adhomai. Settling on Xanu Prime in 2426 and remaining there until the war’s end in 2431, Valyan provided much of the first glimpses into the theology of the Tajara during this time. He, later on, returned home after publishing his novel written in Tau Ceti Basic on the history of the S’rendarr and Messa. Following the Second Revolution, he had replaced Walid Al’qat as The Father of the Parivara after Al’qat died of heart failure. Since gaining his position in 2462 the new Father has already demonstrated to Adhomai that he is able to rise to the task of leading the Parivara. Alongside his archivers, he had revealed misinterpretations in the vows of the Suns Sisters and amended the Vow of Silence to the original Vow of Whispers.

The Father has kept this momentum of progress going forward. In the same year, he began to assist with several archeological digs across Adhomai to gather more information on not just the history of the Suns faith, but also of the Tajara people. Much of this collection is digitalized and shared through a newly developed site (Simply dubbed “Parivara and Tajara History.pra”.) made by an influx of well-educated acolytes. Now, any curious Tajara or alien can find a trove of information on the Parivara and new details on the species’ history. This mix of preserving old traditions alongside progressing aspects of the church has made Valyan popular among the younger generations of Tajara, kindling their interest in the faith.

However, Valyan is not free of controversy. Some conspiracy theorists believe that he could have had a hand in the death of the previous Father, citing the lack of provided medical care and the quick selection of Valyan as the new Father. Others point to his connection to the revitalized Kin of S’rendarr and believe him to be funding the Kin, supplying them with off-world equipment and arms to continue their war against whoever is deemed the faith’s enemy. Nonetheless, these are regarded as little more than baseless rumors by much of the population.

===Rikdar Al'Manq===

Rikdar was born on '''2429''' the noble Njarir’Akhran Bayan line in Nal'Tor, with Bayan being his birth name. However, his parents were disappeared by Republic secret police in one of the frequent purges of Njarir’Akhran and he was put into state-run foster care. He has raised in the ''House Of Young Patriots'' orphanage until he was adopted at 14 to Hharar parents and took their last name of Al'Manq. As he was going to school his parents and teachers immediately took notice of his artistic abilities and interest in painting, which the orphanage had initially tried to discourage. In 2446, when he was 18, Rikdar won an art contest where he submitted a portrait of his Environmental Geology teacher and gained a prestigious scholarship in the Nal'Tor University of The Arts, a state-funded institution.

Rikdar attended the university for several years, though his studies were sometimes interrupted or delayed by the periodic waves of anti-Njarir’Akhran demonstrations and violence that gripped the campus. However, he quickly became a prodigy amongst his peers. Al'Manq's style of oil painting and doing portraits became a sensation in the capital, with the mayor and several city officials requesting their portraits done. Rikdar graduated from university at 20 years old in '''2450''' with a Bachelor of Arts. Having already received several high-profile commissions, including the then-President Al'Mari Hadii, whose portrait was done a week before his death. Al'Manq managed to survive the resulting chaos across Adhomai following the assassination of Al'Mari Hadii by the nature of his celebrity status, but his popularity remains confined within the major cities.

At only 29 years old in '''2458''' the ''Al'Manq Style'' has already become a famous style of painting across Adhomai. The Al'Manq Style is noted for its use of rich oil-based paint that focuses on portraits and profiles. The colors are often bold or show rich texture and color. The hands of Tajara are painted without being anatomically correct. Critics blast Al'Manq's apparent inability to draw hands correctly but Rikdar has stated that it's his personal style. This has influenced other artists, and many attempting to pay homage to Al'Manq draw hands as stubby. Rikdar remains extremely popular on Adhomai. The People's Republic remains a quiet supporter of his work, and state officials pay him handsome commissions for their portraits to be done, though they frown on him taking commissions from New Kingdom officials as well. The Adhomai Liberation Army has painted Rikdar as just another nobleman and several members of the Liberation Army have given open contempt for his work.

===Bloodstorm===

Bloodstorm is a famous and infamous DPRA Heavy Metal Band that has surged in popularity with the younger “denier” generation. Those in this generation are categorized by their refusal of modern Tajara convictions but also human influences, instead of turning to their roots.

====Vargir Stenovich “Godslayer”====

The lead guitarist of the group, Vargir Stenovich is known as the spokesperson of the band and the most controversial figures. Admitting to being a Raskara cultist in public and calling out the Parivara on their “bedding with the government”. Vargir has been involved in numerous scandals including protesting military parades, playing one of his songs next to a work camp without permission, and lastly ingesting drugs on live television and proceeding to slander the ALA for bombing the NKA parliament.
[[File:Al-Atil.png|200px|thumb|right|Photo of Al-Atil at the Mztel'Mir concert, "War Is Fuck, Let's Do It", circa 2459.]]

====Janos Al-Lung “Drowner”====

Janos is the bassist of Bloodstorm and the only band member without a criminal record. He has frequently butted heads with Stenovich over the political extremities the band goes through to discredit not only PRA and NKA but also DPRA.

====Al-Atil Csihar “Nightmaster”====

The vocalist, Al-Atil, is known for his “mrowl”, a high, long, yelp that is recorded as the loudest sound produced by a Tajara. He loves to interact with the public and often stays behind on the podium to sign autographs and fans, the latter of which he uses black spray paint.

====Cecil Kernov “Bloodletter”====

Cecil is the Drummer and has the longest time served behind bars. Kernov has his nickname for a reason as he’s been charged with armed assault. He had brutally assaulted a fan who had climbed on stage with a drum, getting it stuck on said Tajara’s head and pushing him off the stage with a dropkick.

====The Mist “Mih”====

A yet unknown band member by the public, “Mih” remains anonymous always wearing a mask in public and never speaking. He plays the P'rrama, an old Tajara string instrument, with 8 strings mirrored in a long horn-like pipe that extends to the ground which emits a loud, brass twanging noise described as an over-amped guitar.

'''Most Notable Albums Include:'''

The Freezing Blizzard - An early, traditional album, mediocre without the employment of the P'rrama.

War Is Fuck, Let's Do It - The core most popular album drawing similarities between war and love.

If Messa Was Here She'd Be a Whore - First anti-Parivara album created, criticizing their ignorance towards women and discrimination of female priests.

We Live in a Society - WLiaS describes pure hatred of every single faction present not even sparing Sol or Tau Ceti.

Shell In, Spine Out - Another anti-war album, describing the life of a dying soldier.

S'rrendar Loves You Except He Doesn't - Repeated hatred of Parivara, slander, and is famous for having a recording of Cecil attacking a fan with the drum.

If You're Old You Should Die - Scolding critique of the old leading system and a call for the younger generation to disregard the politicians and tear it all down.

}}
The [[Captain]] is in charge of the station and everyone on it. They make sure the crew is working and productive and any [[Job_Guides#Antagonists|potential threats]] are seen to. They are expected to be able to command their [[Job_Guides#Station_Command|Heads of Staff]] effectively, and have ultimate authority on the station, second only to CentComm. As such, your almightly stamp can pave way to great projects or great disasters. Stamp the wrong thing too many times, and you may be targeted by CentComm for investigation.

== Being a Captain ==
The Captain is the top of the power chain. They command the [[Job_Guides#Station_Command|Heads of Staff]] and have the final say in station decisions. The hold an all access ID, a large amount of unique equipment, and a luxurious cabin. The only one with potentially more power is the AI. This is a very important role and should only be played by experienced players.

'''Per admin policy, any Captain character is only allowed to join the round as a Captain, a Head of Staff role as defined by that character's experience and backstory, or as a visitor. Make sure you know the [[Guide to Station Procedure#Visitors| Visitor Policy]] if you plan to join as a visitor.

=== Commanding Command ===
The Captains main job is to lead and direct the station. The Captain therefore has direct authority over the Heads of Staff, changing the alert level, going to red alert, contacting CentComm, calling the evacuation shuttle, and coordinating station-wide emergency evacuation and defence.

In the absence or lack of a head for a specific department, effort should be made by you, or the [[Head of Personnel]] to appoint one to each department. You should always have a fully functioning command staff. If no valid staff for promotion are found (to your own discretion), you may be called or chose to handle the affairs of those departments as a stand-in Head of Staff. But, know your limits. Focus on the functioning, not doing actual work.

It is the Captain's job to make sure that all the Heads of Staff are communicating and leading their departments properly, or making sure the [[Head of Personnel]] is doing it for him. They should not involve themselves directly in departmental matters unless asked by the Head of Staff responsible, however the Captain may step in if they feel that the matter is being handled poorly.

For example, the Captain should not have to tell the [[Chief Engineer]] to start the engine, a competent chief should be able to do this themselves. If they can't, it falls to the Captain to make the decision as to whether to demote the current head, promote someone to a head, or consult with that department as to the best course of action. The Captains job isn't to do others' work for them, but make sure that everything is being done correctly.

=== Station Finances And You ===

Finally, you are the only one along with the [[Head of Personnel]] that has access to the Account Uplink Terminal. It lists the personal account of every crew member and the department accounts.

Each crew member’s individual account belongs to that crew member, and your access to these accounts is for oversight. There are sometimes accusations of fraud, embezzlement, or theft and your ability to go over transaction histories of every crew member gives you the power to hunt down nefarious accounting. You should never take money out of a crew member’s personal account without permission or proof that they got that money nefariously.

As Captain your authority is sovereign, absolute, and unquestionable, but during standard operations you should leave the station accounts to the [[Head of Personnel]]. Even so, you do not need a warrant to access the details of any account and you can check them at any time, but every personal account is protected under [[Corporate Regulations | Privacy Laws]] unless you find direct evidence of a crime. That means on green alert [[Job_Guides#Internal_Security|Security]] needs a warrant to get a copy of a crew member’s bank statement.

The Department accounts are the primary focus for you and the other heads of staff. It is part of your and the Head of Personnel’s job to make those numbers in the department accounts go up, up, and up!

The Cargo and Vendor accounts automatically make money, but for service some ways to do that could be asking the [[Chef]] to sell his food rather than giving it out for free, and finding other methods of moneymaking.

=== Controlling the Crew ===
As Captain, you are in charge. There really is no way to tell you exactly how to run things, many people have different leadership styles. However, as Captain, there are some things you should be aware of:

#'''Only involve yourself when there is nobody else available to do the job.''' If you get involved in every security matter when there's already a Head of Security, it is suggested you get a job change. If there isn't a head for a specific department, get your Head of Personnel to assign a new one. The only exception to this rule is when your Head of Personnel is "absent" as you are the only other Head who can assign people.
#'''Delegate whenever you can.''' If someone says 'Captain, there's a phoron leak!' then you order your Chief Engineer to go fix it. Do NOT attempt to fix it yourself. You will put yourself unnecessarily at risk.
#'''Follow the Chain of Command.''' You command the Heads. The Heads command their departments. Try not to skip them in the decision making process. They are the ones who ''should'' know their own departments best.
#'''Keep calm and carry on.''' As Captain, every shift should be a normal and productive working day. However, be prepared to deal with any or all of the following: Incompetent or absent Heads, [[Job_Guides#Antagonists|subversive elements]], angry crew members banging down the bridge door trying to get in, corrupted AI's on a war path, killer meteor strikes, plagues, faulty electrical gear and the occasional aftermath of an armageddon against the ship, thanks to a range of the above. And it's your job to manage it all. Good luck.

=== Alerts and SOP ===
Main Article: [[Corporate Regulations]]

You have control of the station's alert level. The following is a summary of what they are and when they should be used:

* '''Code Green - All Clear.'''
Default operating level. No immediate or clear threat to the station. All departments may carry out work as normal.

This is how the round starts, and you should do everything in your power to keep it that way. It can be changed to this from the Communications Console on the bridge.

* '''Code Blue - Suspected Threat.'''
Raised alert level. Suspected threat to the station. Issued by Central Command, the Captain, or a Head of Staff vote. Security personnel are authorized to wear armor vests, helmets and display weaponry at all times. Random searches of crew are permitted within reason. Locational searches are also permitted with probable cause, however Command Staff may shut down a locational search of an area under their authority. This includes but is not limited to: their own department, the bridge, vault or any other shared command-restricted location. In both cases, it is the right of the department head, or the individual receiving the search to know the reason of said search.

If you feel that there is a threat to the station either from the environment (large atmospheric breaches, meteors, etc.) or people (organised attacks against crew, theft of high value property, unknown invaders, etc). Code Blue can be raised from the Communications Console on the bridge.

* '''Code Red - Confirmed Threat.'''
Maximum alert level. Confirmed threat to the station and/or severe damage. Issued by Central Command, the Captain, or a Head of Staff vote. Martial law. Suit sensors are mandatory and everyone is required to stay in their workplace unless needed elsewhere. Security may detain suspects without a warrant. Tau Ceti Basic is required on public channels.

Code Red should only be called when there is a confirmed and active threat to the station that places crew at a severe disadvantage to resolving said threat, and/or inhibits normal station operations (confirmed also meaning to the best of your knowledge). This can only be raised by swiping two Head of Staff ID cards at the same time in the Keycard Authentication Devices in each Head of Staff's office. In emergencies, your spare ID can be used as well. You may also request an [[Emergency Response Team]] or emergency evacuation from these devices, however these options should be considered a last resort. Heads of Staff are to instruct personnel to do everything in their power to reduce the impact of the incident that incited the Code Red in order to drop to a lesser status.

'''Warning: a round end vote cannot be called during Code Red. Leaving it up when it's not required may annoy people.'''

* '''Code Yellow - Biological Hazard'''
The station is now under an elevated alert status due to a confirmed biological hazard. All crew are to follow command instruction in order to ensure a safe return to standard operations.

Code Yellow should be used for biological hazards such as carp, spiders, bears, drones, blobs or any other biological hazard on the station. It will give Command and any relevant departments the required flexibility (for example allowing officers to carry weaponry during a spider outbreak) to deal with any biological hazard threats, without sacrificing privacy rights or giving the Security Department the means to arrest/search crew without a warrant.

=== Equipment ===
There are many items in your cabin, but not all of them should be used all the time. Captains are not supposed to involve themselves directly in most station matters (like security issues), and you should not expect things to go wrong, so wearing your special armor and carrying a lethal energy on [[Captain#Alerts_and_SOP|green alert]] is not expected or encouraged. You are allowed to carry a weapon for self-defense, though it should not be lethal. The 'chain of command' item is a novelty, and should really not leave your office. The telescopic baton relies on brute damage to topple the target, and does not stun in any way, so use it sparingly. Don't carry your spare ID on you constantly, you should only go for it if you have a good reason and it's [[Captain#Alerts_and_SOP|red alert]]. Outside of that, everything that can be done, can be done with your base ID.

Your armour and helmet function as a space suit, but this does not mean you should be wearing it all the time. The antique laser gun in the glass case is an antique and should be treated as such, it shouldn't leave its case, and is highly valuable.

=== Paperwork ===

You are the chief paperwork stamper on the station and as said earlier, your stamp is a very powerful tool. It can be used as a substitute for every other, ''lesser'' stamp on the station, the same way your orders stamp everyone else's. Use it responsibly, because written authorization is a powerful tool.

=== Authority ===
The Captain has the final say on almost every matter on the station. If the Captain tells someone to do something they better do it, or have an exceptionally good reason to not do so. Captains should follow [[Corporate Regulations]] and [[Security]] has the power to arrest the Captain for serious violations if they do not (after Heads of Staff unanimously agree). The only time Corporate Regulations may be overridden is if there is an imminent and overwhelming threat to the station.

Situations where the captain's orders are overridden are rare, but may include orders that would cause unnecessary and large amounts of damage to people or property, or are simply outrageously stupid. For example, ordering the [[Chief Engineer]] to vent the bar of atmosphere as people are getting slightly tipsy. This is not the norm however, and generally people should follow whatever the captain says.

==== Code Delta And Self-Destruct ====

The highest echelons of NanoTrasen are fully aware that a number of its research stations are dabbling into extra-dimensional or even anomalous materials and artifacts which pose significant risks to humanity, the galaxy, and the corporation's bottom line. As such, all deep space research stations (like the Aurora and Exodus) have installed in them a 50 kiloton nuclear bomb to act as a self-destruct. The existence of the nuke is, for obvious reasons, highly classified. The Captain is the only one aside from the stationbound AI who knows about the nuke and the Delta Protocol. The Head of Security is aware that there is a mysterious authentication disk on station that needs to be protected at all costs, but not of its purpose.

In an instance where the station is beyond hope, the Captain can send an emergency message to Central Command detailing the situation and requesting the nuclear code. '''With a fax or emergency transmission you must end your message with the code [CPE-1704-TKS] to verify it is legitimate.'''

Only Captains know this code, which is used to ensure only Captains that '''spawned''' as a Captain can request the code. Making a bogus request is fine, but if you are not a Captain (or an antag with a good reason) and use this code then you will be bwoinked.

If the message is deemed valid by Central Command (the admins) a confirmation message is sent to the Captain. If the Captain confirms the code is transmitted directly to the Captain, who then simply has to make it to the nuke with the code and the disk to begin the sequence.

Requesting the code should only be done if the station has expended all of its resources in containing a threat and failed. Because the Captain is the only one with this power, it is in their interest to ensure they can live long enough to carry it out.

=== Dangers ===
NanoTrasen vessels are often under threat from various [[Job_Guides#Antagonists|criminal organisations]] and natural space disasters. As Captain, is it your job to manage these threats and make sure that they do not interfere with normal activity aboard the station.

Most of the time, your on-board [[Job_Guides#Medical|Security]], [[Job_Guides#Medical|Medical]], and [[Job_Guides#Engineering_and_Maintenance|Engineering]] forces should be sufficient to deal with the threat. Therefore, you are not expected to have to deal with such matters by yourself, save for when you have not been supplied with them, or you feel they are incompetent.

As far as running into danger goes, there is a thin line between stupidity and heroism. The rule of thumb is that you should only face suicidal odds when there is no other valid option. Your life's importance is second only to the station's existence.

== Links to Other Departments ==
As a captain, you have direct authority only over the other heads of staff. This means that, if your captain is the snooty type, they can get away with never having to talk to the miners, the cook, or the toxins researcher. On the other hand, there's nothing wrong with playing a captain who'll happily shoot the breeze with the janitor. That's up to you and your character.

When it comes to other departments, your primary job is to coordinate everyone's actions. Your captain's headset lets you talk to all heads of staff and hear any department's radio channel. If a department has a head of staff, your primary interactions will be with them, because they (should) know how to run their department. Without a head of staff, you may have to step in. With or without a Head to work with, make sure each department has the information and supplies it needs to work well.

==Roleplaying Tips==
* In terms of roleplaying, you have a lot of freedom. You should really have some basic knowledge of how each department runs, and who the heads of them are, but outside that you could really have as much (or as little) knowledge as you want. You can play with a background in a certain field, but you should NOT be able to do everything (i.e. Being able to set-up the Engine single-handedly AND knowing how to make bombs is probably going too far). Just remember though, a very incompetent Captain doesn't make too many friends.
* Leave Security matters to security, you don't (and shouldn't) need to step in on every criminal situation. You are above the Head of Security in terms of command, but you should defer security matters to him. Only step in if you think that a decision could endanger the station or crew.
* Don't think that just because you're the Captain, that you can do anything you want. That's the absolute '''worst''' thing to do. You're there to make sure everyone else is doing their job, not to do it for them.
* Your armour is heavy protective armour that is space capable. It is not for walking around in all the time, and would be anywhere from extremely uncomfortable to debilitating exhausting depending on your captain's physical strength and stamina to do so. There is an armoured vest in your locker if you absolutely feel the need to wear armour when the full set isn't appropriate, but keep in mind you're on a research station, and you shouldn't be expecting to really need the armour under the majority of situations.

Notable Tajara

Coalf:

{{Navbox Lore}}
{{Navbox Tajara Lore}}

[[Tajara|Tajaran]] history and society has a long list of notable individuals and heroes that are known across [[Adhomai]].

==People's Republic==

''"Comrades, in this struggle we fight to protect the progress we have fought so hard to make in the preceding decades. Our march forever onwards for a Hadiist society must not be stopped by the usurpers who would see us become a brutish military dictatorship, nor those fetid imperialists who would restore the atrocities of the old ways."''

''- President Njadrasanukii Hadii, in a televised address to the people in 2452.''
===President Njadrasanukii Hadii===

[[File:Hadii portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait of the president, done in 2460.]]
Njadrasanukii Hadii, also known as Malik Hadii, was born in '''2402''' to the noble Njarir'Akhran Hadii line. His mother was Rajjurl Hadii, and his father Tajrhalrr Hadii. He got involved with the military at an early age, becoming a cadet for the Royal Navy at 16 and achieving a commission as a Lieutenant-Commander at 22, and leading his own destroyer as a Captain at 29. During the revolution, he briefly fought for the loyalists but was recalled to the Hadii Citadel to help defend his family's ancestral home. Following the revolution and the Hadii's rise in the new Federal Republic, Njadrasanukii was given the office of Vice-President under his brother Al'Mari Hadii.

Malik assumed the presidency in '''2451''' after the assassination of Al'mari. He continued his brother's early agenda of collaborating with NanoTrasen and other galactic powers. Njadrasanukii purged any suspicious elements from his administration after the Nated's coup, consolidating his power through the imprisonment and execution of anyone that threatened his regime. Further authoritarian measures were established by him; the expansion of the secret police, the rapid industrialization of the PRA, and further persecution against those who did not conform to his policies. Under Malik Hadii's control, the current form of Hadiism took shape; an ideology focused on the creation of a monolithic Tajaran culture under the unquestionable guidance of the Hadii political line. The office of the president had its powers largely expanded under his rule, allowing Njadrasanukii to control all aspects of the People's Republic government. Total loyalty to Njadrasanukii is expected from all Party members.

A state-endorsed cult of personality has been established around President Hadii. Through a robust propaganda system, republican citizens are informed daily about Malik's achievements and how only through his guidance the Republican can prosper. Portraits of President Hadii can be found in most Hadiist homes and government buildings. Njadrasanukii is known for his speeches praising his own administration and the bravery of his people; his voice can be heard frequently on the radio. While many admire him as a strong leader, others fear his ruthless ways of dealing with the opposition.

President Hadii is famous for his extreme paranoia. Very few high-ranking members of the Party have direct access to him and little is known about his private life. He is constantly surrounded by hand-picked members of the secret service; those bodyguards are always under the risk of being purged for any reason. It is rumored that he has survived more than three hundred assassination attempts.

Despite the outcome of the Second revolution, Njadrasanukii continues to rule the People's Republic with an iron grip. He did not give up his plans of reestablishing Hadiist hegemony over Adhomai.

===Headmaster Harrrdanim Tyr'adrr===

Harrrdanim was born in '''2425''' to a M'sai family serving the Hadii during the First Revolution. Wishing to follow in the footsteps of his parents, he joined the Hadiist Party at a young age. He soon caught the attention of the People's Strategic Intelligence Service due to his craftiness and was given a position in the agency. Despite enjoying moderate success during the late years of Al’mari’s rule, Tyr'adrr rose to prominence after the President’s assassination. Leading several purges within the secret service, he was able to secure a promotion as the Headmaster after the previous head was arrested for suspicious behavior. Under Tyr’addr’s control, the PSIS became the feared terror machine it is today. Heavy investments in surveillance technology, the establishment of a robust web of informants, and the large-scale repression of political opponents greatly weakened the opposition in the People’s Republic. His supposed adventures during this period have spawned an entire "spy thriller" genre in the Republic.

After helping secure President Hadii's rule, Headmaster Harrdanim focused his efforts on fighting the Liberation Army and the New Kingdom. Ruthless anti-partisan campaigns were carried out under his supervision. The displacement of Chaniska’s native population, scorched-earth tactics in Northern Ras'nrr, and the creation of Try'urma Penitentiary were among some of his orders during the conflict. His actions during the Second Revolution earned him the reputation of being merciless and bloodthirsty. In spite of several assassination attempts, ALA agents failed to murder him and he continued his reign of terror unimposed.

Even after the Armistice, Headmaster Harrdanim continues to work tirelessly to undermine the enemies of the Republic. He has a large interest in securing the Tajara population living outside of Adhomai and is responsible for the PSIS presence in District Six. He is eager to suggest more authoritarian solutions and believes in increasing, even more, the state’s control over the population. Because of the role of the Strategic Service in the government, Tyr'adrr is one of the most powerful and hated Tajara in the People's Republic. While seemingly loyal to President Hadii, many in the Party fear where Tyr'adrr's ambition might lead him.

===Party Secretary Yakiv Hadii===

Yakiv Hadii was born in '''2412''' as the second cousin to President Hadii. While too young to take part in the First Revolution, Yakiv joined the Hadiist Party as soon as he could. During Njadrasanukii’s rule, he excelled as a bureaucrat due to his organizational skills. He managed the distribution of land and the establishment of communal farms during the Republican Agrarian reforms. Through a combination of political maneuvers and nepotism, he quickly climbed the Party's ranks. Yakiv sought to further the Republican relationship with NanoTrasen, seeking their support for the development of Adhomai. This stance caused him to lose Al’mari’s favor during the years leading to the Second Revolution. He was then demoted to an unimportant position in the Ministry of Agriculture.

Yakiv returned to prominence after Rhagrrhuzau’s assassination; he was seen as a way to link Malik’s rule to his now-deceased brother. Following the abolishment of the office of vice-president, Yakiv was promoted as the Party Secretary by Njadrasanukii. He became responsible for the internal organization and reviewing applications to the Party; he was quick to remove many of his political opponents from power using his new powers. Known as unquestionably loyal to President Hadii, he became infamous for being nothing but a yes man. He continued his policy of maintaining good relations with megacorporations, lobbying for more deals with NanoTrasen. Countless Tajara were given the opportunity to leave Adhomai due to his efforts, most sold as cheap labor while some others were able to acquire higher education. During the final stages of the war, he was one of the main proponents of the need for foreign intervention to save the People's Republic.

After the Armistice, Yakiv remained as Party Secretary. He is one of the closest advisors to President Hadii, helping Malik in matters related to internal and external affairs. Despite being an orthodox Hadiist, he is eager to push for changes to appease NanoTrasen and other foreign powers in an attempt to gain their support. Many within the Party see Yakiv as a power-hungry and untrustworthy politician, eager to abuse his power to reach what he wants. Others recognize him as a cunning politician with a rather dangerous influence over President Hadii.

===Minister of Defense Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar===

Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar was born into a Hharar peasant family in '''2428'''. He was raised around veterans of the first revolution and was always interested in their stories. Owing to the new opportunities brought by the People’s Republic, Irbaykhan enrolled in a military academy and joined the Grand People's Army as an officer. He survived the purges of the early Hadiist government because of his political reliability; as he was one of the first army leaders to support President Hadii during his ascension. This left him in the privileged situation of being one of the few properly trained officers at the dawn of the Nated’s coup.

Irbaykhan quickly climbed the ranks of the Republican Army during the Second Revolution. Making extensive use of artillery and motorized troops, he secured early victories that gave much-needed breathing room to the fragile Republic. While in command of the Dymtris Front in '''2456''', he pushed the New Kingdom into the defensive position that they would remain in until the very end of the war. Mirarkiizar’s final promotion during the conflict was to the theater commander of the Rass’nrr Military District. With the help of the alien allies of the Republic, he managed to recapture the main region of the continent. He was given a seat in the Ministry of Defense after the Armistice, working alongside the upper echelons of the Party to refine the Republic’s strategy.

Unlike most members of the Ministry of Defense, Irbaykhan has both political connections and practical experience in the field. This combination has made him one of President Hadii’s closest advisors in regard to military matters. Currently, he is responsible for the Hro'zamal campaign. Mirarkiizar sees the Grand People's Army as an essential component of the Hadiist state; the ever-vigilant guardian of the Republic against its enemies. The Minister believes that strict discipline and union towards a common goal is the best way to safeguard the future of the People’s Republic.

===Minister of Technology Zhuldyz Hadii===

Born in '''2420''' to the Hadii dynasty, Zhuldyz enjoyed the many privileges granted to her family. She grew up fascinated by the new technologies brought by human contact; she would spend hours tinkering and dismantling electronics during her childhood. Later she was sent to study in prestigious Solarian universities, where she ventured into the field of robotics. Zhuldyz returned to Adhomai in 2449 and was granted a post in the Ministry of Technology.

Using the knowledge acquired off-world, Zhuldyz drew plans with the objective of modernizing the Republic through a technological revolution. The rapid industrialization aided by mechatronics would bring prosperity to the Tajara. While many of her initial projects were abruptly interrupted by Rhagrrhuzau's assassination, she remained in her position due to being a member of the Hadii dynasty. The unstable early years of Njadrasanukii’s presidency were unfavorable towards her dreams; stopping Nated’s coup and the Royalist uprising were top priorities at the time. However, as the frontlines stagnated and a semblance of normalcy returned to the People’s Republic, Zhuldyz had the chance to convince President Hadii of her plans. Knowing that losing the war would put an end to her pursuits, she turned her genius to the military field. Victory could be achieved through technological superiority. She was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Hadii Institute of Orbital Research|Hadii Institute of Orbital Research]], the expansion of the [[Tajara_Space_Capability#PRA_Army_Wing|Orbital Fleet]], and the creation of the Tesla Brigade. Zhuldyz was promoted to the office of the Minister of Technology shortly before the Armistice.

The Adhomian Cold War became the perfect testing ground for Zhuldyz's projects. She sees the period of peace as an opportunity to turn the People's Republic into a technological powerhouse. Zhuldyz believes that the future of Hadiism lies in science and that the Republic must become advanced enough to subjugate its enemies. Minister Hadii is not interested in ethical or safe research; she is eager to pursue dangerous and questionable experiments. No price is too small to pay during the march of progress. President Hadii gave Zhuldyz near uncontested authority to lead the Ministry of Technology. She was the mind behind the creation of the first independent robotic factory on Adhomai.

===Secretary of the Navy Hura'zhi Mira'zkui===

Born in '''2422''' to an exiled line of minor nobility from the Zatushka Kingdom, Mira’zkui grew up in the chaos of the First Revolution as the armies of the Hadiist rebels marched across Adhomai. When the dust had settled, despite his personal wishes to enter the party itself, his family would convince him to uphold their old traditions and join the forming Republican Navy in '''2447'''. It was then that Mira’zkui met Dynhaas and joined the Oceanmasters Lounge.

During the chaos of Dynhaas’ defection in '''2450''', Mira’zkui narrowly avoided his own death. Informed early by a loyal lieutenant that his own crew was plotting to kill him, Mira’zkui fled in a lifeboat and watched as his fellow officers were thrown screaming from the decks of their own ships. A few days later, he was found on the shores of Ras’nrr. As the Republic fell into chaos, Mira’zkui returned to the Republican Navy as Secretary, entrusted by Malik Hadii to fight against the pirate flotillas of the ALA and the Royal Navy. However, Mira’zkui’s loyalty was not able to make up for his inexperience. While the last of the Liberation Army’s pirate vessels were sunk, he was unable to contend with the strength of the Royal Navy and unable to achieve his personal desire: Capturing or killing Dynhaas.

Post-War, Mira’zkui has largely become reclusive and withdrawn from the public eye. While he continues to try and develop the Republican navy, Mira’zkui is forced to contend with funding going towards the projects of the Orbital Navy and Grand People’s Army. With a relationship of mutual dislike between himself and Zhuldyz Hadii, many within the party believe that Mira’zkui will likely be replaced eventually. How he would react to being denied any chance for revenge against Dynhaas is something no one knows.

===Chief Naval Commander Samirro Qarrarhaz===

Born in Northern Ras’nrr in '''2407''', Samirro was the son of a loyal M'sai general in the Hadii Hegemony. Qarrarhaz's family raised and taught him to follow in his father’s footsteps. He would become an artillery officer in '''2428''', finding great success during combat against monarchist groups through using extensive shelling to force and flush out the enemy. By '''2431''' Qarrarhaz was moved into Southern Harr’masir to prepare for an invasion of the Kingdom of Kaltir. His artillery crews were among those who scoured the Kingdom following its surrender, shelling whatever villas, castles, and manors they had found. A staunch ally of Al’mari Hadii and his family, Qarrarhaz has always stood by the Hadii family and the republic they had later built.

While also providing training for future artillery commanders in the interwar period, Qarrarhaz became part of a committee formed by President Al’mari Hadii to plan and prepare a space fleet for the PRA. He, along with other committee members, traveled to the Coalition of Colonies' planets of Xanu Prime and Himeo to observe anti-piracy operations in order to better develop the PRA’s own future space warfare doctrine in '''2452'''. When the Orbital Fleet was completed by '''2457''', Qarrarhaz was appointed Chief Naval Commander by President Malik Hadii. Since then, he has won numerous victories against piracy, smugglers, and even bested a [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/?do=findComment&comment=114422 Sol cruiser].

Post-war, Qarrarhaz continues to lead his spaceships and Kosmostrelki in the defense of the PRA’s claimed space. Comfortable and experienced in his position, Qarrarhaz has begun to speak more on the future of the PRA’s ventures into space. Controversially, the Commander has stated that the PRA must eventually extend its hand to the numerous small colonies and off-worlder communities dotting the frontier around them. Arguing that Hadiism’s light must be spread beyond Tajara, it is his belief that the PRA must one day uplift these groups from their poverty and absorb them into the state.

===Minister of Education Kalim Khazdar===

Kalim Khazdar was born in '''2430''' to a family of Hharar foremen in the city of Tampiska. Deemed a bright child by his teachers, he was sent to study in Al'marii. Captivated by the tales of progress and prosperity brought by the interwar period, Kalim enrolled at the Al'marii College of Hadiist Sciences. He continued his studies intending to become a college teacher. During his time as a student, he became a good friend and protégé of the rector of the university, Mahir Hadii. His friendship with a member of the political dynasty opened many doors for him.

Kalim joined the Hadiist party during the Second Revolution. He later visited Tau Ceti to study the Adhomian community there; his experiences in District Six deeply affected his ideas. He saw all the social problems that those who lived under the megacorporation rule were subject to. Instead of losing faith in Hadiism, he started to believe that reforms were necessary to save the People's Republic; NanoTrasen should be a means to an end, not the end itself. Kalim returned to Adhomai in 2459 and became a college professor. Thanks to his connections, he soon got involved with the administration and politics of the university. His papers on the subject of Hadiist education were generally well-received by the academia.

With the Armistice of Shastar, Kalim Khazdar aligned himself to the Young Hadiist faction; his sympathy towards the movement was largely unknown to the Party. His ascension to the position of Minister of Education in 2463 was the result of a confidential deal between his mentor and President Hadii. Despite being considered a powerless and inexperienced politician by the other members of the Hadiist cabinet, Kalim is not to be underestimated. Cunning will be necessary to avoid the wrath of President Hadii and his lackeys. The path to a truly free People's Republic will be a long and difficult one.

===Yasmin Piaf===

[[File:Yasminp.jpg|150px|thumb|right|A photograph of Yasmin Piaf handed out at a concert, 2459.]]
Yasmina Burokov, aka Yasmin Piaf, was born in 2434 in the suburbs of Nal'tor to a particularly well-off Njarir'Akhran family. Yasmin's father, Boris Burokov was a low-ranking State department official and devout loyalist of the People's Republic. She spent her childhood being educated in the best State-run schools their family could afford and enjoyed relative wealth and prosperity far from the poorer outskirts of the city.

Even from a young age, Yasmin was interested in music. She was part of her school's choir and participated in several nationwide contests for the honor of singing for President Rhagrrhuzau Hadii. The all-female 'Band of Njarir Maidens' consisting of Yasmin and her classmates eventually won and sang for the President and other members of his cabinet at the end of the annual military parade held in Nal'tor. Eventually, she graduated and went on to the Academy of Musical Arts with a full scholarship.

Talent scouts pruning the burgeoning academy's student pool for the next starlet eventually discovered Yasmin during rehearsals for the school's upcoming musical, and she signed a tentative deal with the small publication Vostak Recordings. Her first record, simply titled The Man in Rouge, was released with minimal fanfare. Given that she had sung a small solo during her performance for the President, some Tajara recalled her name.

Yet her voice, described by some as angelic and innocent, found purchase with an aging generation of Tajara who wished a brief return to peaceful normalcy following the First Revolution. Her dedication to the traditional pop standard and recognition for torch songs eventually elevated her to the status of a household name, with her recording label releasing hit after hit. As a result, Yasmin Piaf has become one of the most famous singers in the modern era - one who has fostered a close relationship with State officials. She is one of the few artists who are approved to be played on State radio KGTW-11.

===Andrey Borisov===

Out of all the Tajara that one could argue embody loyalty to the People’s Republic, perhaps none are more memorable than Andrey Alexander Borisov. In the average Republican household, his name is just as common as President Hadii’s, owing to the fact that he is the face of State propaganda and news network RAFИ. Born in 2416 to a line of M’sai warriors, Andrey was not even two years old before humanity stumbled across Adhomai and lit the flame that ignited the First Revolution.

Andrey’s father and uncle were killed in the uprising, leaving him, his mother, and his sister alone to fend for themselves. His mother curried favor with the local rebel leader when their town fell to the onslaught of war; she became his concubine and, later, his wife. The ever-advancing front saw Andrey moved from home to home, where the young M’sai would often spend time talking to soldiers recovering after harsh fighting. They nourished a sense of patriotism in him, and eventually, he came to see the First Revolution as necessary for the future of the Tajara.

The war ended in 2432, when he was merely 16 years old. As the newly founded People’s Republic began the arduous transition from a movement to a government, Andrey’s connections with the upper echelon of PRA politicians bore fruit. He was taken on as a member of an officer’s general staff, headquartered in Nal’Tor, where he served as little more than a glorified secretary. His position put him in contact with the elite, however, and many found him charming and personable. His silver tongue earned him the interest of Dmitrys Marakov, the owner of the only State-approved television station at that point in time.

His ascension from lowly secretary to the major news anchor for RAFИ was one that involved plenty of political maneuvering, money - and, rumored by some, violence - but ultimately Andrey had proved his loyalty to the political elite of the People's Republic and he was rewarded with the honor of being their mouthpiece. As a result, no Tajara on Adhomai can go very long without seeing his smiling face on their television set, spinning the next story or cover-up at the behest of the State.

==Democratic People's Republic==

''"We are soldiers. We are fighters. We are war. We have forsaken the corrupt and decaying corpse of the xeno-loving People's Republic. We have left our homes and our families, but our cause is righteous. The suns are with us! The vile usurper of my friend and comrade Al'mari will have justice delivered to him! We will spill the blood of our enemies until our struggles are seen and heard, and we WILL retake OUR Republic!"

''- Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan, the day after the coup de tat began, 2451.''

===Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan===
[[File:Nateed portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A surprise picture of Nated, taken in 2458.]]
Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan was born in '''2404''' to a M'sai family under the service of the Hadii Dynasty. The son of a royal guard, Nated interacted with many Njarir children in his early life. He grew to resent their narcissism but was prepared to inherit his duty nonetheless. When the First Revolution ignited in '''2421''', Halkiikijr fought for the loyalists alongside the Hadii family. Becoming a battle-brother of Rhagrrhuzau Hadii, or better known as Al'Mari Hadii, Nated stood with the Hadii’s decision to abandon their royal roots and join the revolutionaries. When the war ended Al'Mari was sworn into office, Halkiikijr was made a Commander in Chief of the Republican Army in return for his service.

Al'Mari supposedly made promises of swearing-in Halkiikijr as the next president of the People's Republic once the political climate on Adhomai had stabilized. The legitimacy of this claim is not known, but what is known is that Al'Mari was assassinated during a military parade in '''2451''' and Njadrasanukii Hadii, vice president of the People's Republic, swore himself in as the successor of the presidency. Outraged at the assassination and accusing Njadrasanukii of treachery against the People’s Republic, Nated organized a coup against Malik. Bringing together military commanders dissatisfied with the new Hadiist policies, Halkiikijr created the Adhomai Liberation Army to dethrone the new President. He then took the title of Supreme Commander.

As the putsch attempt was thwarted by the Hadiist forces, Nated fled to Shastar City. The coup then turned into a full-blown civil war between the Liberation Army and the People’s Republic. Without off-world help, Nated called to arms anyone willing to support his cause. His movement became a unifying front to all kinds of elements opposing President Hadii; from democratic reformers to extremists fighting to free Adhomai from alien influence. For a decade, Halkiikijr led the Liberation Army as an effective opposing force against the People’s Republic and the New Kingdom. He favored the extensive use of irregular warfare coupled with the deployment of the army to secure decisive battles. A cult of personality formed around Halkiikijr; extremists claimed that he was a prophet sent by the Gods. The Supreme Commander took advantage of this belief to cultivate undying loyalty and fanaticism among his followers.

Believing that the territories under his control were ready for a democracy modeled after the Al'mariist principles, Nated's undisputed rule came to an end with the creation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai. Halkiikijr retired from his position as Supreme Commander to prevent a coup against the newly elected president. His retirement did not last long; he returned to power because of the Amohdan crisis in '''2462'''. Nated was given back the control of the Liberation Army and its remaining juntas to retake the Island of Amohda. After this display of weakness, Halkiikijr is unsure if the DPRA is truly ready to rule Adhomai. For him, the ALA is now more essential than before. Nated also faces infighting between his two right-hand men; commander Kahan and Kyff.

===Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad===

Kahan Hro'rammhad was born in '''2412''' to a Hharar family as their oldest children. A peasant from birth in the region of Southern Harr'masir, he was taught the traditional values of S'rendarr and Messa by his deeply religious parents. His childhood was cut short by the outbreak of the First Revolution; his family was expelled from their lands by the war. Thanks to its flat terrain, Southern Harr’masir saw the first deployment of armored vehicles in the conflict; trains, civilian cars, and trucks were outfitted for warfare by the rebels. Hro’rammhad joined the crew of an armored car as soon he turned 14 years old. Because of the high mortality among the revolutionaries, Kahan quickly found himself in the command of his own brigade. He became famous for his excellent use of the vehicles’ speed to encircle the enemy, and for his merciful nature. Monarchists soldiers were always given the chance of joining his side after capture. Hro’rammhad also forbade unnecessary executions and mistreatment of prisoners among his fighters.

Commander Kahan and his brigade were incorporated into the Hadiist faction shortly before the end of the First Revolution. As a member of the Republican Army, he was a major proponent of the transformation of the People’s Army into a motorized force. Tank brigades and motostrelki units were created under his supervision. Kahan funded the reconstruction of many temples destroyed during the revolution and frequently donated to charity through the interwar period. Hro’rammhad joined Nated’s coup due to his profound disagreement with Malik’s policies; he saw the oppression of the Zhan-Khazan as morally corrupt. Armored units that defected alongside him were organized into the Hro'rammhad Tank Corps under his command.

Hro'rammhad remained a merciful and pious Tajara through the Second Revolution. He rejected the notion of irregular warfare and continued to offer mercy to his enemies. As the leader of the main armored force in the Liberation Army, Kahan played an important role in decisive battles. This position allowed him to become a right-hand man for Nated. As part of his religiousness, Hro'rammhad considered the conflict to be a battle to protect the faith against the innate atheism of Hadiism. Religious imagery and motifs became common among his Tajara. The men under Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad are known to have the utmost respect for his bravery and mercy, most even going so far as to worship him as an embodiment of S'rendarr's justice. His success during the civil war earned him the nickname of “Undefeated Commander''.

Despite the armistice, Commander Kahan remains as one of the second-in-command for Halkiikijr. He is an avid supporter of the transition to democracy, advocating for the dismantlement of the juntas. This position earned him many enemies among the more authoritarian elements within the Liberation Army. He is known to despise Commander Kyff Hotak for his tactics and personality. Both Tajara are currently engaged in an internal struggle to consolidate their influence over the Liberation Army.

===Commander Kyff Hotak===

Born in the year '''2406''' to a family of Zhan-Khazan miners in the Trizar, Kyff Hotak was supposedly destined to slave away for his Njarir master as his ancestors did for many generations. To avoid this fate, Hotak fled his home as a young Tajara. He ran into the wilderness until he found a bandit camp. Because of his age, the brigands decided to adopt Kyff as the group’s mascot. The boy grew up witnessing all kinds of crime and violence; later taking part in the band’s activity when old enough. The bandits sided with the rebels during the First Revolution in search of plunder. But their greed was their undoing; the criminals were massacred by the revolutionaries after they were discovered stealing rations. Hotak survived by being the one to report the activities of his previous comrades. As the war dragged on, Kyff became more bold and cruel in his revolutionary activities. He frequently engaged in assassinations, massacres, and false flag operations to crush the monarchists’ morale. Hotak was soon feared by his comrades and hated by his enemies. To him, everything was permissible to achieve victory. Impressed by the victories of the Hadii faction, he joined them as part of the early Ha'narr Corps.

The interwar period was fairly unremarkable for Kyff Hotak; he was given a low-ranking office position in the intelligence department. While Hotak advocated for the recreation of a force similar to the Mountain Ghost Corps, his request was ignored by the Hadiist high command. Memories of his excess in the First Revolution stopped Hotak from receiving any further promotions. He grew discontent with the People’s Republic, believing that he deserved more for his service. Seeing Nated's coup as an opportunity to rise to power, Kyff defected to the Liberation Army without hesitation.

Hotak organized his own unit of commando early into the war; a battalion trained in stealth operations. As a major proponent of irregular warfare, he also helped organize guerilla cells and coordinate terrorist attacks. The success of these groups granted him enough influence to become one of Nated's right-hand men. However, Commander Kyff quickly returned to his old ways; he started to wage a campaign of unrestrained terror. The presence of his soldiers became a harbinger of indiscriminate persecution, murder, excessive property requisition, and collective punishment against any community suspected of working with the enemy. Despite the protest of the civilian population and Commander Kahan, Halkiikijr refused to replace Kyff. Taking advantage of his reputation, Hotak ordered his Tajara to spread stories of him being the earthly manifestation of Messa's wrath. This tactic proved to be effective both among his enemies and allies.

Commander Kyff Hotak remains in service even after the armistice. Many within the army and the civilian administration desire to see Hotak punished for his war crimes, but Supreme Commander Nated continues to protect him. Kyff is a hardline supporter of the more authoritarian elements in the government and desires a strong centralized leadership above all else. He and Commander Hro'rammhad are rivals; both Tajara commonly fight each other over which direction the Liberation Army should go. Hotak is always accompanied by his pet [[Adhomai#Farwa (Tree-Hopper)|Farwa]], Ghiyath.

===President Almrah Harrlala===

President Almrah Harrlala was born in '''2426''' to a family of Hharar factory workers in Shastar City. While her childhood was relatively unaffected by the First Revolution, she enjoyed many of the benefits brought by the People’s Republic during the interwar period. Being the first member of her household to receive a proper education, she became involved in the Party’s politics at a considerable young age. She believed that a stable democracy built upon the will of the people was the best path for Adhomai. She was also wary of the presence of megacorporations on the planet, considering their activities as harmful to the development of the Tajara species She campaigned for more worker’s rights and laws restricting corporation’s activities in the PRA. Almrah held a position within the Party until the ascension of President Njadrasanukii Hadii; he ordered the arrest of Harrlala due to her views.

Harrlala was held prisoner in Shastar during the first moments of the Civil war, only the capture of the city by the Liberation Army saved her from being transferred to another location. Hoping to continue her career in politics, she aligned herself with the rebels. Even if the despotic and extremist tendencies of the ALA worried Almrah, she held to Nated's promise of saving the Republic. She was given the position of Provisional Minister of Civil Rights when the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai was established.

As the Minister of Civil Rights, Almrah worked to protect the regional identities present in the DPRA. Her campaign to end military rule over the country while still upholding the principles of Al’mariism made her a popular figure among the moderate sectors of the population. Seeking to expand her political influence, she founded the National Adhomai Worker's Party. She was one of the candidates in the presidential elections of '''2460'''; she won the office of president by a narrow margin. President Harrlala’s ascension to power displeased the authoritarian wing of the Liberation Army, the military then planned a coup to restore their own rule. The putsch was stopped by the intervention of Supreme Commander Nated, who later resigned from his position to grant more powers to the civilian administration.

Following the Armistice, President Almrah Harrlala continued with her internal policies while maintaining a strong stance against foreign dominance. Under her rule, schools to preserve local cultures and languages were established, Gakal’zaal was liberated from the Unathi rule, and the DPRA developed its nuclear program. Her status as one of the first female rulers in modern Tajaran history has inspired many women to engage in DPRA politics. However, her regime is plagued with deep issues. The ghost of separatism lingers over the nation after the Amohdan attempt to secede. Her ability to reconcile the various factions in the government was severely doubted when she failed to draw a plan to handle the rebellious island. Since the return of Halkiikijr to power, the authoritarian elements see this as a moment of weakness in the young Republic. President Harrlala must be ready to face further opposition if she wants to see her vision of Adhomai come to life.

===Ex-interim President Brajrr Alnadruskiy===

Born in '''2423''' in the city of Mztel’mir, Brajjr Alnadruskiy was the youngest child of a family of brewers. He later joined the Republican Army at 17 years old, slowly climbed the ranks through diligent service to the military. Brajrr attributed the prosperity of interwar Adhomai to the strong leadership of President Al’mari; he believed that the Republic always needed a strongman in control to succeed. He severely doubted Malik’s competence because of his decision to undo his brother’s reform.

Brajrr finally rose to prominence with Nated's coup. Upon hearing of the revolution, he rallied the Liberation Army’s aligned troops in Das’nrra to assault Shastar. Alnadruskiy's attack was successful and he was named the Rrhaza-Akhran of the city. Shastar became the headquarter of the ALA, giving Brajrr a reasonable amount of influence within the army high command. He was known for his rigorous discipline and unforgiving nature. Many war prisoners were forced into labor by his orders. Brajrr was given the position of Interim President when the Democratic People’s Republic was created.

Alnadruskiy ran for president in the 2460 elections, seeking to centralize the nation and maintain the Army’s sway over the government. He founded the Free Tajaran People’s Party, gathering the most authoritarian elements in the Republic. After Almrah Harrlala’s victory by a narrow margin, he took part in the putsch against the newly elected president. Despite the defeat of the mutiny, Brajrr managed to convince Halkiikijr that he was forced by the extremists to join them. He was released and allowed to return to politics.

Ex-interim President Brajjr Alnadruskiy now leads the opposition to Harrlala’s regime. He continues to support a centralized state under the leadership of Supreme Commander Nated. Even when the successes of the current administration displease him, their latest crisis has given him enough to challenge Almrah. The return of Halkiikijr to the control of the Army is also considered a victory for him and his followers. Alnadruskiy awaits for the right moment of weakness to retake control of the DPRA.

===Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar===

The first and thus far only incident of weapons of mass destruction being employed on Adhomai happened in 2458, when the People’s Republic dropped a four-megaton nuclear bomb on the Liberation Army base in Quizosa. The death toll from the detonation was staggering, but the fallout from the bomb was carried on strong winds, leading to severe cases of radiation poisoning from the neighboring camps.

Tajara medical experience with radiation poisoning and the effects of nuclear bombs were practically non-existent. The only species in the galaxy that had the technology long before the Tajara were Xenos, and the Liberation Army did not have the luxury of free contact with extraplanetary forces. With the sick and dying mounting, a call for help was sent out to the surrounding territories. Many physicians and doctors made the long and difficult journey in the winter snows to help - at the forefront of them, Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar.

The effects of the bomb were catastrophic. Survivors were badly burned. Their fur fell out, never to grow back again - leaving them susceptible to Adhomai’s frigid temperatures. Their skin peeled off in sickly ribbons, hanging limply to the ground. Doctors were at a loss, with only a rudimentary understanding of what could have happened. Dr. Aleksandra took a sort of unofficial command of the medical effort, and coordinated efforts to assist the sick and dying.

Liberation-sympathetic Tajara, at her prodding, recovered as many documents as they could regarding the atom bomb from PRA-aligned holdings, downloading information from the extranet and thieving textbooks from high-security locations. Thanks to her ingenuity and leadership, the haphazard medical team of doctors saved a great many innocents from a slow, painful death - though they would have to live with the effects of the bomb for the rest of their lives. Dr. Aleksandra is widely known for her opposition to nuclear proliferation, due to her experiences, and has become the face of a growing anti-WMD movement across Ras’narr.

===Arzjun Haurjuhrl===

Rumors persist that Arzjun Haurjuhrl was sired out of wedlock, a result of an affair between a Zhan-Khazan mistress and a rebel leader. He was born in '''2427''' in the warmer regions near the city of Olska, and lived alone with his mother. He was scarcely a child when the war ended and the People’s Republic came to prominence. Both he and his mother suffered much in the way of discrimination - for being Zhan-Khazan as well as having a bastard child. This disconnect between what the People’s Republic promised and the way they were treated caused the young Arzjun to become disillusioned with the Republic.

He was further tested when his mother suddenly fell ill and died in the winter of 2445. With nothing left tying him down, abandoned as he had been by Adhomain society, he took what little funds they had been saving and paid a smuggler to carry him off-world. It took every penny but eventually, he found himself in Mendell City, carrying nothing but the clothes on his back. For a time, he lived on the streets, forced to beg to make ends meet. He soon found work at one of the shelters he had often stayed at. The community of Little Adhomai was more welcoming to him than the homeworld had been.

Deciding to pay back the kindness he received, he took part in many community outreach programs, including plays and dramas for the children of Little Adhomai. His passion for the arts as a medium of expression took root here, and his name rose to some prominence amongst the local Tajara population thanks to his charity work. He aspired to work on his own big picture and got his chance thanks to the collective donations of many Tajara. Wealthy Xenos also had an interest in seeing what the immigrant could do, though perhaps a few thought it would look good as a public relations move.

The script he wrote went through many revisions and sat for a good while before it was picked up by a studio. The community who had helped him before had done it once again; the surprise blockbuster When Summer Came to Nazira was one of the top ten highest-grossing films in Biesel history. Its anti-tyranny message was seen by some as an expression of the director’s own viewpoint on the People’s Republic. In some ways, they were correct - Arzjun is a quiet supporter of the DPRA, which has put him at odds with the Republican government. As a result, his film is banned from showing on Adhomai - though this has not stopped smuggled copies from being distributed amongst DPRA theaters.

==New Kingdom==

''"Loyal subjects, countrymen, brothers. It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that we must conscript from the provinces in order to maintain our fight in this war. However, you are not alone. Even as the new compulsory service legislature is passed, the aristocrats across the kingdom are likewise mobilized under a new service gentry system, so that all of the Kingdom is together in this struggle."''

''- King Vahzirathaamro Azunja, announcing the beginning of conscription and formalization of the service gentry in 2453.''

=== King Vahzirthaamro Azunja===

King Azunja was born in 2400 in the city of Kaltir to the noble Njarir’Akhran Azunja line. His father was Farkhanzirhal and his mother Dramahdarmah. Located in the far reaches of Kaltir, the Azunja family line was one of compassion and fair treatment, as only in unity and brotherhood could they hope to survive the harsh far reaches of Northern Adhomai. Their peasants were kept well and treated with dignity, and the nobles, while privileged, never indulged in cruelty. A noble paige since the age of 10, Vahzirthaamro excelled in reading and writing from an early age. He prepared to inherit the family throne as the sole son of his parents until the first civil war of Adhomai ignited in 2421.

When war broke out between the nobility and peasants, house Azunja was hesitant to pick sides, as they disagreed with the morals of both sides. Their distant position in the wild made them capable of ignoring the war until its end, as the Hadii family was placed at the head of Adhomai in 2432. Carrying the flags of the newly founded People's Republic of Adhomai, the Republic's army demanded the surrender of all nobility in Kaltir. The entire populace requested to be left in peace, as the peasantry and nobility there had never declared war on one another. Believing the peasants were utterly spineless and brainwashed, the People's Republic executed all current nobles ruthlessly, scattering the royalty of the region. Vahzirthaamro was placed in prison by his father's retinue of intellectuals, who declared he had to remain hidden amongst the lowest of the low if he wished to stay alive. From that moment on, Vahzirthaamro Azunja knew that peace was impossible so long as a compromise was not made, and a true constitutional monarchy was made the unanimous government on Adhomai.

Word passed amongst the Tajara at the work camps about the possibility that Vahzirthaamro still lived as many pre-war intellectuals gathered with him in private. They spun every possibility of a government, even discussing adopting human political systems as they gathered workers, fighters, poets, and philosophers to form an organized nation as they spread their ideas to the guards of the facility, a majority of which who were old peasants under the Azunja family who thought the entirety of the nobility had been executed. Delighted to see his return, they joined his side and swore allegiance to his family once more.

In 2449, in the middle of the night, Vahzirthaamro was released in secret along with the entirety of his retinue, as they quickly spread from town to town, asking for assistance from newly appointed officials and workers. Before long, the reminiscent families of the Kaltir region were happy to rejoin their flock. By 2450 his claim to rule had spread to all of Northern Harr'masir, and the New Kingdom of Adhomai officially seceded as an independent nation under the newly declared King Vahzirthaamro Azunja. He then led the Kingdom for the next decade, managing the balance between the different factions within the government and the ongoing war. Vahzirthaamro became a unifying figure for the population. After successfully securing Kaltir's ancient lands and negotiating the armistice that brought the end to the war, King Vahzirthaamro passed away in 2463. His niece, Shumaila Azunja, inherited his throne.

===Queen Shumaila Azunja===

[[File:Shumaila portrait.png|200px|thumb|right| A portrait done of Queen Shumaila Azunja, holding the ceremonial orr'bu s'rrendar, circa 2460.]]
Shumaila Azunja was born in 2431 in Northern Harr’smirr, as the daughter of one of the kingdom’s princes. She survived the Republican slaughter by being hidden away among the peasantry, raised in secret by individuals still loyal to the old ruling dynasty. From a young age, Shumaila began to participate in secretive royalist circles within Kaltir. Here, she began her service to the kingdom by helping distribute leaflets proclaiming the coming of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. When the uprising broke out in 2450, she joined the new Imperial Adhomian Army. Shumaila then rose through the officer ranks quickly, becoming a commander in the Jabrut Almumalik and establishing a name for herself on the front.

Many of those who served under Shumaila describe her as being a woman of unbreakable will, never faltering as casualties stacked or as barrages shattered the ground around her. Some even say she wouldn’t even blink at the sight of the PRA’s dreaded tanks rolling towards the lines. For her exploits in the war’s 2459 offensive and the defense of the Vlrralkhzazhul line, Shumaila came to be known as “The Storm of Harr’smir”, matching her iron will with a burning fury to destroy the kingdom’s enemies.

In 2460, after meeting with several prospective heirs, King Vahzirthaamro had chosen his niece Shumaila to serve as the Crown Heir. Although the majority supported this decision alongside most of Parliament and the nobility, a large fraction remained wary of the decision of a military leader over other options. However, this opposition has shrunk over the past few years. Shumaila remains strong on her position of expanding the military, but she has also spoken about increasing ties to the galaxy’s Megacorporations to modernize the New Kingdom. Nor has she made any comments regarding changing the democratic systems of Parliament and the Chamber. Coupled with her public appearances and active presence in the newspapers, many woes and worries of her ascension have been dissuaded.

Since entering the public eye in 2459, Shumaila enjoys much support from the women of Kaltir. Many look to her as an inspiration, buying “military” style jackets to emulate her look, given that Shumaila became one of the few Tajara women to lead a nation. However, this fame has also led to calls from the nobility and her family to choose a husband. Shumaila retains that her marriage comes after her coronation. She was finally crowned in 2463 after King Azunja passed away. Outside of continuing her uncle's legacy, her plans to the Kingdom are still unclear to the wide public

===Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan===
[[File:Marshal portrait.png|200px|thumb|right| A portrait of Field-Marshal Zarkradar'Akhan, circa 2420.]]
Rrhazhal was born in '2380 to the noble Njarir’Akhran Zarkradar'Akhan line, however, he was a legitimized bastard of a Zhan-Kazan maid. As the youngest of his brothers, Rrhazhal was sent into the service of the Azunja family as King Farkhanzirhal Azunja's servant at the age of 10. King Azunja noticed the young child had a talent for philosophy and strategy. The two had many intellectual discussions together as Rrhazhal quickly became a trusted advisor of King Farkhanzirhal by the time he was 20. At this time, King Azunja decided he trusted Rrhazhal with protecting the life of the newly born Vahzirthaamro. On the eve of the First Civil War, Rrhazhal was tasked with training the peasantry of Kaltir in order to defend their fiefdom and nobility against attackers. When Kaltir was annexed by the People's Republic of Adhomai in 2432, Farkhanzirhal frenziedly ordered Rrhazhal to hide Vahzirthaamro before People's Republic soldiers stormed the palace, killing almost everyone. From then on Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan personally accompanied Vahzirthaamro Azunja as his protector and chief advisor.

In 2450, once the New Kingdom had officially declared independence from the People's Republic of Adhomai, Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan was promoted to the rank of Field-Marshal personally by King Azunja, and today oversees all military operations inside of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Respected for his tactical skill but notorious for his radical belief that a compromise is not possible and a complete return to the old nobility is Adhomai's only option for peace, Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan is one of the oldest fighting nobles left on Adhomai.

===Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas===

Hailing from a royal cadet line and born in 2402, Dynhaas followed his father and brothers to join the Das’nrra Empire’s navy at a young age. When the First Revolution came, naval losses coupled with the rebel conquest of Das’nnra resulted in Dynhaas, the last man left of his line, surrendering and being imprisoned. With the war’s end in 2432, Dynhaas was offered a pardon by the Party in exchange for developing the Republican Navy. He would come to accept this over the alternative of death.

Accepting his defeat and believing that the age of nobility came to an end, Dynhaas came to view the Republican Navy as his new purpose in life. He worked to advance it alongside other pardoned nobles and founded the Oceanmasters Lounge, a private club within the naval officer corps. This path in life would change with the announcement of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Believing that a way to restore the old glory days of kingdoms laid with the NKA, Dynhaas began to plan a revolt. Partnering with other sympathetic admirals, he had the Republican Navy’s Grand Admiral and several other loyalists killed on a fateful night at the Shastar Naval Base before fleeing eastwards in 2450. In the same year that the New Kingdom was declared, Dynhaas delivered them the strongest naval force Adhomai had ever seen. King Azunja had declared him the Kingdom’s Grand Admiral shortly after meeting with Dynhaas in Miran’mir.

With the Republican Navy's command almost crippled and the ALA unable to compete with their dominance of the sea, Dynhaas used his fleets during the war to support and supply the Royal Army while helping smash the enemies of the New Kingdom. The artillery barrages of his ships were important in coastal battles during the NKA's offensives while their supremacy saved the Royal Marines from certain destruction following the failed Ras'nrr expedition. The prestige of his position made Dynhaas an instant celebrity in the NKA as well. Many propaganda reels and photos showed him as a majestic lord of the sea, something he capitalized on heavily to present himself as the very pinnacle of noble glory. Always well-groomed, well-dressed, and impeccable at talking despite whatever circumstances he was in, Dynhaas never passed the opportunity to host an interview. Most notable was Dynhaas' interview on his opinions of xenos of the S'rand’marr coalition, conducted on his capital vessel while it sieged Nal'tor in the final stages of the war. His statements on Unathi and Skrell were less than positive. After the expulsion of the People's Republic from Harr'masir in 2461, Admiral Mahtra infamously ordered the Royal Navy to engage in an unrestricted bombardment campaign of the eastern Hadiist coast. Cities and villages were targets of frequent naval artillery strikes; the battleships shelled military and civilian targets indiscriminately. The Navy infamously used incendiary shells during these attacks, causing entire neighborhoods to be engulfed in firestorms.

Post-war, Dynhaas went on several speaking tours in the first year of the armistice. Traveling from city to city, his public events were used to promote his upcoming biography and drew crowds in the tens of thousands. Politically, he maintains that the future of the NKA always lies within the navy, and that the industry of the New Kingdom must always retain a heavy focus on their shipyards. Dynhaas has also been vocal in his beliefs of a stronger monarch, often using the emergency powers King Azunja had as an example of the strong benefits that could come with such. He is yet to comment at all on his supposed rival, Mira'zkui, at all.

===Grand Duke Akym Yudenikh===

Born in the Das'nrra Empire to a noble family in 2412, Akym Yudenikh survived the First Revolution by escaping to Northern Harr'masir and hiding his identity. After the Hadiist occupation of the Kingdom of Kaltir, Yudenikh joined the People's Republic bureaucracy; he became responsible for the administration of the local rail system. Akym was infamous for his corruption; he frequently sold permits, disregarded contraband reports, and accepted bribes.

Because of his background, Akym was contacted by the underground royalist movement. He quickly became one of the main supporters of the group; he used his position within the Hadiist government to secure supplies and funding for the incoming uprising. Weapons, machinery, and ammunition were diverted to the Royalist cells. Akym was awarded the title of baron, a seat in the parliament, and some land confiscated from the People's Republic when Vahzirthaamro returned. However, his ambitions did not stop there. Using the money made from his time as a Republican bureaucracy, alongside whatever profit he could extract from his new holdings, Yudenikh continued to acquire more estate. Newly liberated farms were sold to him at a meager price thanks to his connections within the government. In a question of years, he became a Grand Duke and one of the major landowners of the New Kingdom. Akym controversially used prisoners of war as workers in his plantations during the Second Revolution as part of deals with the military.

Following the Armistice, Akym Yudenikh now leads the Royalist Party; his main mission is to maintain the status quo. The continuation of the constitutional monarchy and the privileges of the nobility align perfectly with his interests. He is one of the major supporters of further deals with megacorporations. Grand Duke Akym is not afraid to use his position to protect his interest in the parliament. Under his vision, prosperity for the New Kingdom means more power and wealth to its elite.

===Prince Serhiy Oliinyk===

Born as the third son to a family of Njarir'Akhran in 2434, Serhiy Oliinyk's life was profoundly affected by events over which he had no control. Raised in a household of avid royalists supporters, Serhiy was exposed to his parents' ideology since his youth. However, the boy had his reservations in regards to the possible return of the monarchy; he doubted that they could truly avoid the mistakes of the past. For his support during the uprising in Northern Harr'masir, the patriarchy of the Oliinyk family was given a seat in the parliament, a title of nobility, and a modest tract of land. Serhiy mistakenly believed that he could escape his bloodline's obligation thanks to his status as the third child. He already had a passion in his life: playing the P'rrama.

The war was cruel to the Oliinyk. Serhiy's brothers were killed while serving the army. This put him in an uneasy position as the heir of a parliamentary seat. The growing debt forced his father to sell whatever land they had left; the Oliinyk had officially joined the ranks of landless nobility. The final blow came in 2459 with the bombing of the Parliament; Serhiy inherited his progenitor's seat after his demise in the attack. The young musician was thrown into the midst of the New Kingdom's politics. Influenced by his social status and beliefs, he aligned himself to the Commoners Party.

If he is truly unable to escape his fate, Prince Serhiy decided to make the best out of it. Because of his age and a family full of martyrs, Serhiy became the Commoners Party's main spokesperson. Convincing the Queen to support the Populists will not be easy; the Conservatives and Absolutists are far more powerful and influential. A powerful strategy is necessary to guarantee the Commoners Party triumph in the parliament. Serhiy plans to retire from politics after the hereditary parliamentary positions are banned and the Kingdom is fairer to its population. He hopes to return to his greatest passion: music.

===Count Tscherim Sanguszkho===

Hailing from a cadet house of the Rrhakaslov dynasty, Tscherim Sanguszkho was born in 2433 shortly after his family escaped to Kaltir to avoid the First Revolution's massacres. He was raised on a small farm frequented by disposed nobles and royalist sympathizers. Sheltered from the rest of Adhomai, he grew only knowing the world only through the nostalgic tales of pre-contact Njarir'Akhran, The Sanguszkho family was quick to offer their support to King Azunja when he returned; the Tscherim's father was given a seat in the parliament. Tscherim became a low-ranking officer in the army.

Tscherim Sanguszkho's military career came to an end in 2460 when he was gravely wounded in combat. Taking advantage of his pension and family's position, Tscherim spent the next years in gentlemen's clubs. In these places, he entered into contact with radical Absolute Royalists and became deeply interested in [[Tajaran Minor Religions#Ancient Tajara Theory|esoteric beliefs]]. Tscherim founded his organization in 2462: the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity. Drawing inspiration from the stories of an idealized pre-First Contact society, the ideology known as Revival Royalism was born from the Fraternity's meetings. Posing as a regular club, Tscherim was able to introduce other nobles to his ideals. Knowing that the task of enforcing the old order was not an easy one, Sanguszkho chose a common enemy to unite the kingdom against: the Tajara of mixed heritage.

Tscherim's plan came to fruition when his father died in a car accident in 2463; he inherited a landed title, a state, and a seat in the Parliament. Shortly after, the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity opened its membership to the public and made its intentions clear. Thanks to a deal with the Officers and Royal parties, the Fraternity became the fourth faction in the Parliament. Despite being the leader of the smallest Party, Count Tscherim has already begun to plot to slowly introduce his ideology into the New Kingdom.

===Ser Mrakhanjurl Ii'rka===

Mrakhanjurl was born in 2422 in a Zhan-Khazan family in a small village outside Olska. He received little education nor traveled far outside his village. As soon as he came of age at 16 he joined the rest of the village mining bauxite ore to be shipped to Olska to make aluminum. He eventually lost both parents to lung cancer from the mine's poor ventilation before he was 23. In 2452, when he was 29, he traveled with a dozen other Zhan-Khazan miners several miles to Olska to join a protest against the new legislation of President Hadii that was meant to crack down 'subversive elements' that many felt were unfair to Zhan-Khazan. The army was called in and brutally repressed the demonstration, which saw Mrakhanjurl narrowly escape with his life. He returned to his village to find that it had been torched by the republican army for housing subversive agitators.

Mrakhanjurl mourned the loss of his village and was picked up by rebel militia, who revealed that they had managed to provide early warning to the village and evacuate over a dozen people, but the army had managed to find and kill all but a handful of survivors. In gratitude for the rebels dying for his village, and to avenge the deaths, Mrakhanjurl joined the armed resistance that eventually joined itself under the New Kingdom of Adhomai. In a very short few years became a remarkable marksman, gaining the most recorded kills of any Tajara sniper. Current New Kingdom estimates put Mrakhanjurl's kill count at 285, 32 of those enemy PRA snipers.

Mrakhanjurl also managed to evacuate countless civilians from Republic territory to northern New Kingdom holdings. During the famous ''Rout of the 2nd Battalion'', in which New Kingdom defenders unsuccessfully attempted to prevent Republican forces from capturing Baltor, Mrakhanjurl assumed command of the 4th Company after both its leading officers had been killed by sniper fire. Despite a serious gunshot wound to the leg Mrakhanjurl began shouting orders and rallied the shattered defenders, who were the last line of defense between the advancing Republic forces and thousands of refugees attempting to flee the city. The ''Rally of the 4th Company'' on 2456 successfully managed to delay advancing Republic troops long enough for thousands of more refugees to escape into New Kingdom territory who would otherwise face atrocity.

For his bravery and growing fame (which was now considered too important to risk in the war effort), Mrakhanjurl was given the Order of the Victorious Sun, the highest honor in the New Kingdom, as well as being the first Zhan-Khazan in history to be given the noble rank of Ser. He remains a hero to the Zhan-Khazan and the New Kingdom.

===King of the Mountains Rustam Harmaliik===

Rustam Harmaliik was born in 2427 as the son of a deposed Njarir'Akhran noble family. He spent most of his youth in the rural region of Harr'masir, where he had contact with some groups of Rhazar'Hrujmagh that inhabited the region. As an adult, he found employment in law enforcement and was sent by the People’s Republic to support the efforts to settle the rock nomads of the Harr’masir region in 2448 as a Republican official.

While working alongside the authorities to make sure that the nomadic Zhan would accept and adopt a sedentary lifestyle, Rustam grew more interested in their culture and became skeptical of the Hadii’s regime and how they were treating the Rock Nomads. Unrest among the Rhazar'Hrujmagh soon followed, and Rustam would try to offer his support in any way possible, such as sabotaging equipment shipment or relaying misleading intelligence. The government soon realized his treason, forcing Rustam to abandon his post and escape into the wilderness.

Rustam found shelter among a caravan of the Rhazar'Hrujmagh, and soon adopted their way of life. Unrest and resistance continued among the rock nomads, and Harmaliik joined their struggle against the People’s Republic. With the New Kingdom’s rebellion, the control of the region waned and the Republican efforts shifted to other problems, which allowed the nomad resistance to blossom into guerrilla warfare. Rustam climbed the ranks of his caravan’s forces, winning prestige and favor by leading them against the Republican forces.

The second revolution happened, and the Rhazar'Hrujmagh resistance continued. Rustam assumed the leadership of his adopted caravan and aimed to acquire more support among the other Rock Nomads. Through the years of the conflict, he gathered more men and wagons under his command, through diplomacy or conquest, but limiting himself to defensive tactics, ambushes, and raids. The political stance of Harmaliik has always been one of neutrality in the conflict, never compromising fully with the Adhomai Liberation army, due to his Njarir’Akhran origins and monarchist sentiments, and never declaring any support to the New Kingdom, in fear of losing the trust of his fellow nomads,

Due to a republican offensive against the nomadic guerrillas in 2461, Rustam decided to declare himself the Almalik’Rhazar, a word roughly translated as "leader of the mountains", following an ancient nomadic tradition that allows the largely independent Rock Nomad caravans to elect a ruler among themselves. This decision alienated him from his ALA allies and the other nomads, forcing him to side with the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Harmaliik and his caravans have joined the kingdom war effort. He and his people were later granted the southeast territories of the New Kingdom for their support during the conflict.

===Brother Mikhail Ordau===
Little is known about Mikhail Oradu’s parentage. He was given to the Parivara at a very young age, left on the doorstep of Miran'mir's abbey. Thus the Family took him in as they do many small children, teaching him and educating him about S’rendarr and Messa. Mikhail was an accomplished writer for his age, but a speech impediment left him at a disadvantage when it came to oral presentations. The boy was known to be bookish, and spent much of his free time in the abbey’s library as well as its restricted section, thanks to his close friendship with the abbot.

He had an unusual interest in the sciences for a clergyman. As the Second Revolution loomed ahead, and whispers of splitting from the Republic crept into the local city, he busied himself with reading and tending to the monastery’s garden. Eventually, Miran’mir and all of northern Harr’masir split from the Republic to form the New Kingdom. With the war came plenty of hardship, and the Priests of S’rendarr did their best to help alleviate the tragedy amongst the peasants.

With little farmable land and a severe manpower disadvantage, the New Kingdom struggled to provide for its people. Starvation was a very real threat, and the abbey’s garden was not sufficient. A conflicted Mikhail turned once again to the abbey’s library and science for an answer; and, as though a miracle from the Suns themselves, one came. He discovered an ancient text detailing breeding methods for slaves, from long before the First Revolution. Suggestions on how to pass on desirable traits and mannerisms; to breed subservience. Controversial, but an unknowing descriptor of genetics and hereditary traits.

It was armed with this knowledge that Mikhail set about breeding new plants. Earthen roots, dirt berries, and more were cultivated for generations by Mikhail, aiming to pass on traits like hardiness and vitality. The plants became much more accustomed to growing in harsh conditions thanks to his work, and as the New Kingdom pushed back the Republicans and gained more territory, these hardier plants were easier to grow in the shell-shocked muddy battlefields. The threat of starvation became less and less pressing as more and more farms could deal with the way the war affected the terrain. For his efforts, Brother Mikhail was afforded a personal audience with the King.

===Oleg Al'Mor===
Born Oleg Murkov Al-Al’Mori in 2400, Oleg was a teenager when humanity stumbled upon the Tajara. His simple life of working and indentured servitude was suddenly upended with the influx of new ideals; he and his family, along with a contingent of other refugees of war avoided the conflicts erupting across the planet by staying in the mountains of Northern Harr’masir. To pass the time and keep themselves entertained, the telling of fireside epics became common. Oleg was noted to be imaginative with his tales even then, regaling other Tajara with stories of war and love.

Eventually, however, the nomadic hunter-gatherer life in the mountains could no longer support their numbers, and Oleg’s group descended from their hiding place. By this point, rebel armies had mostly taken hold of Kal’tir and the surrounding areas, giving Oleg relative freedom. When the war finally came to an end in 2432, Oleg was well known as a traveling bard and performer who earned his living using his creative skills entertaining war-weary soldiers and newly freed slaves. The stability that came with the formation of the People’s Republic afforded Oleg the opportunity to settle down in Kal’tir once again, where he took an interest in the local theater scene.

His first play, The Jester’s End, pioneered the form of black comedy and was a throwback to the days of servitude. Over the course of his career in Kal’tir, Oleg penned many more plays under his pseudonym Oleg Al’Mor, out of fear of inviting reprisals from the People’s Republic. Oleg’s plays were often scandalous or controversial for challenging the traditional morality held by Tajara. However, as time went on, his works became formulaic and much less shocking, and thus by extension more palatable to the average Tajara. Black comedy found a good home amongst the countless war veterans of the First Revolution.

Oleg considered himself an intellectual, and when the New Kingdom of Adhomai split from the People’s Republic he was an outspoken supporter. He and his family had experienced the benefits of the old ways, and with his considerable wealth from play royalties, he financed the New Kingdom with donations. Sadly, Oleg Al’Mor passed away in December of 2460 after completing his final work. The play, titled A Maiden’s Voyage, was particularly well-received, with even the King himself getting a private showing. Many of his works are still performed in theaters all over the New Kingdom’s territory.

==Others==

===Father Valyan K'rrirran===

''"From the stars, he saw Adhomai's cities and mountains become nothing more than specks. When he beheld the planet from far away, he realized that it was a small dot within this vast new galaxy. It was then he saw how truly special our homeland and our people are."''

''-Father Valyan K'rrirran, written as the ending to the prologue in his novel "An Introduction to The Twin Suns", 2430.''

Born in 2406 to a family of merchants in Dras’nrra, Valyan chose to join the faith at a young age, and became a fully-fledged Priest of S'rendarr in the midst of the First Revolution. It was during this time that Valyan had also become one of the first few Tajara to leave Adhomai. Settling on Xanu Prime in 2426 and remaining there until the war’s end in 2431, Valyan provided much of the first glimpses into the theology of the Tajara during this time. He, later on, returned home after publishing his novel written in Tau Ceti Basic on the history of the S’rendarr and Messa. Following the Second Revolution, he had replaced Walid Al’qat as The Father of the Parivara after Al’qat died of heart failure. Since gaining his position in 2462 the new Father has already demonstrated to Adhomai that he is able to rise to the task of leading the Parivara. Alongside his archivers, he had revealed misinterpretations in the vows of the Suns Sisters and amended the Vow of Silence to the original Vow of Whispers.

The Father has kept this momentum of progress going forward. In the same year, he began to assist with several archeological digs across Adhomai to gather more information on not just the history of the Suns faith, but also of the Tajara people. Much of this collection is digitalized and shared through a newly developed site (Simply dubbed “Parivara and Tajara History.pra”.) made by an influx of well-educated acolytes. Now, any curious Tajara or alien can find a trove of information on the Parivara and new details on the species’ history. This mix of preserving old traditions alongside progressing aspects of the church has made Valyan popular among the younger generations of Tajara, kindling their interest in the faith.

However, Valyan is not free of controversy. Some conspiracy theorists believe that he could have had a hand in the death of the previous Father, citing the lack of provided medical care and the quick selection of Valyan as the new Father. Others point to his connection to the revitalized Kin of S’rendarr and believe him to be funding the Kin, supplying them with off-world equipment and arms to continue their war against whoever is deemed the faith’s enemy. Nonetheless, these are regarded as little more than baseless rumors by much of the population.

===Rikdar Al'Manq===

Rikdar was born on '''2429''' the noble Njarir’Akhran Bayan line in Nal'Tor, with Bayan being his birth name. However, his parents were disappeared by Republic secret police in one of the frequent purges of Njarir’Akhran and he was put into state-run foster care. He has raised in the ''House Of Young Patriots'' orphanage until he was adopted at 14 to Hharar parents and took their last name of Al'Manq. As he was going to school his parents and teachers immediately took notice of his artistic abilities and interest in painting, which the orphanage had initially tried to discourage. In 2446, when he was 18, Rikdar won an art contest where he submitted a portrait of his Environmental Geology teacher and gained a prestigious scholarship in the Nal'Tor University of The Arts, a state-funded institution.

Rikdar attended the university for several years, though his studies were sometimes interrupted or delayed by the periodic waves of anti-Njarir’Akhran demonstrations and violence that gripped the campus. However, he quickly became a prodigy amongst his peers. Al'Manq's style of oil painting and doing portraits became a sensation in the capital, with the mayor and several city officials requesting their portraits done. Rikdar graduated from university at 20 years old in '''2450''' with a Bachelor of Arts. Having already received several high-profile commissions, including the then-President Al'Mari Hadii, whose portrait was done a week before his death. Al'Manq managed to survive the resulting chaos across Adhomai following the assassination of Al'Mari Hadii by the nature of his celebrity status, but his popularity remains confined within the major cities.

At only 29 years old in '''2458''' the ''Al'Manq Style'' has already become a famous style of painting across Adhomai. The Al'Manq Style is noted for its use of rich oil-based paint that focuses on portraits and profiles. The colors are often bold or show rich texture and color. The hands of Tajara are painted without being anatomically correct. Critics blast Al'Manq's apparent inability to draw hands correctly but Rikdar has stated that it's his personal style. This has influenced other artists, and many attempting to pay homage to Al'Manq draw hands as stubby. Rikdar remains extremely popular on Adhomai. The People's Republic remains a quiet supporter of his work, and state officials pay him handsome commissions for their portraits to be done, though they frown on him taking commissions from New Kingdom officials as well. The Adhomai Liberation Army has painted Rikdar as just another nobleman and several members of the Liberation Army have given open contempt for his work.

===Bloodstorm===

Bloodstorm is a famous and infamous DPRA Heavy Metal Band that has surged in popularity with the younger “denier” generation. Those in this generation are categorized by their refusal of modern Tajara convictions but also human influences, instead of turning to their roots.

====Vargir Stenovich “Godslayer”====

The lead guitarist of the group, Vargir Stenovich is known as the spokesperson of the band and the most controversial figures. Admitting to being a Raskara cultist in public and calling out the Parivara on their “bedding with the government”. Vargir has been involved in numerous scandals including protesting military parades, playing one of his songs next to a work camp without permission, and lastly ingesting drugs on live television and proceeding to slander the ALA for bombing the NKA parliament.
[[File:Al-Atil.png|200px|thumb|right|Photo of Al-Atil at the Mztel'Mir concert, "War Is Fuck, Let's Do It", circa 2459.]]

====Janos Al-Lung “Drowner”====

Janos is the bassist of Bloodstorm and the only band member without a criminal record. He has frequently butted heads with Stenovich over the political extremities the band goes through to discredit not only PRA and NKA but also DPRA.

====Al-Atil Csihar “Nightmaster”====

The vocalist, Al-Atil, is known for his “mrowl”, a high, long, yelp that is recorded as the loudest sound produced by a Tajara. He loves to interact with the public and often stays behind on the podium to sign autographs and fans, the latter of which he uses black spray paint.

====Cecil Kernov “Bloodletter”====

Cecil is the Drummer and has the longest time served behind bars. Kernov has his nickname for a reason as he’s been charged with armed assault. He had brutally assaulted a fan who had climbed on stage with a drum, getting it stuck on said Tajara’s head and pushing him off the stage with a dropkick.

====The Mist “Mih”====

A yet unknown band member by the public, “Mih” remains anonymous always wearing a mask in public and never speaking. He plays the P'rrama, an old Tajara string instrument, with 8 strings mirrored in a long horn-like pipe that extends to the ground which emits a loud, brass twanging noise described as an over-amped guitar.

'''Most Notable Albums Include:'''

The Freezing Blizzard - An early, traditional album, mediocre without the employment of the P'rrama.

War Is Fuck, Let's Do It - The core most popular album drawing similarities between war and love.

If Messa Was Here She'd Be a Whore - First anti-Parivara album created, criticizing their ignorance towards women and discrimination of female priests.

We Live in a Society - WLiaS describes pure hatred of every single faction present not even sparing Sol or Tau Ceti.

Shell In, Spine Out - Another anti-war album, describing the life of a dying soldier.

S'rrendar Loves You Except He Doesn't - Repeated hatred of Parivara, slander, and is famous for having a recording of Cecil attacking a fan with the drum.

If You're Old You Should Die - Scolding critique of the old leading system and a call for the younger generation to disregard the politicians and tear it all down.

[[Tajara|Tajaran]] history and society has a long list of notable individuals and heroes that are known across [[Adhomai]].

==People's Republic==

''"Comrades, in this struggle we fight to protect the progress we have fought so hard to make in the preceding decades. Our march forever onwards for a Hadiist society must not be stopped by the usurpers who would see us become a brutish military dictatorship, nor those fetid imperialists who would restore the atrocities of the old ways."''

''- President Njadrasanukii Hadii, in a televised address to the people in 2452.''
===President Njadrasanukii Hadii===

[[File:Hadii portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait taken of the president, done in 2460.]]
Njadrasanukii Hadii, also known as Malik Hadii, was born in '''2402''' to the noble Njarir'Akhran Hadii line. His mother was Rajjurl Hadii, and his father Tajrhalrr Hadii. He got involved with the military at an early age, becoming a cadet for the Royal Navy at 16 and achieving a commission as a Lieutenant-Commander at 22, and leading his own destroyer as a Captain at 29. During the revolution, he briefly fought for the loyalists but was recalled to the Hadii Citadel to help defend his family's ancestral home. Following the revolution and the Hadii's rise in the new Federal Republic, Njadrasanukii was given the office of Vice-President under his brother Al'Mari Hadii.

Malik assumed the presidency in '''2451''' after the assassination of Al'mari. He continued his brother's early agenda of collaborating with NanoTrasen and other galactic powers. Njadrasanukii purged any suspicious elements from his administration after the Nated's coup, consolidating his power through the imprisonment and execution of anyone that threatened his regime. Further authoritarian measures were established by him; the expansion of the secret police, the rapid industrialization of the PRA, and further persecution against those who did not conform to his policies. Under Malik Hadii's control, the current form of Hadiism took shape; an ideology focused on the creation of a monolithic Tajaran culture under the unquestionable guidance of the Hadii political line. The office of the president had its powers largely expanded under his rule, allowing Njadrasanukii to control all aspects of the People's Republic government. Total loyalty to Njadrasanukii is expected from all Party members.

A state-endorsed cult of personality has been established around President Hadii. Through a robust propaganda system, republican citizens are informed daily about Malik's achievements and how only through his guidance the Republican can prosper. Portraits of President Hadii can be found in most Hadiist homes and government buildings. Njadrasanukii is known for his speeches praising his own administration and the bravery of his people; his voice can be heard frequently on the radio. While many admire him as a strong leader, others fear his ruthless ways of dealing with the opposition.

President Hadii is famous for his extreme paranoia. Very few high-ranking members of the Party have direct access to him and little is known about his private life. He is constantly surrounded by hand-picked members of the secret service; those bodyguards are always under the risk of being purged for any reason. It is rumored that he has survived more than three hundred assassination attempts.

Despite the outcome of the Second revolution, Njadrasanukii continues to rule the People's Republic with an iron grip. He did not give up his plans of reestablishing Hadiist hegemony over Adhomai.

===Headmaster Harrrdanim Tyr'adrr===

Harrrdanim was born in '''2425''' to a M'sai family serving the Hadii during the First Revolution. Wishing to follow in the footsteps of his parents, he joined the Hadiist Party at a young age. He soon caught the attention of the People's Strategic Intelligence Service due to his craftiness and was given a position in the agency. Despite enjoying moderate success during the late years of Al’mari’s rule, Tyr'adrr rose to prominence after the President’s assassination. Leading several purges within the secret service, he was able to secure a promotion as the Headmaster after the previous head was arrested for suspicious behavior. Under Tyr’addr’s control, the PSIS became the feared terror machine it is today. Heavy investments in surveillance technology, the establishment of a robust web of informants, and the large-scale repression of political opponents greatly weakened the opposition in the People’s Republic. His supposed adventures during this period have spawned an entire "spy thriller" genre in the Republic.

After helping secure President Hadii's rule, Headmaster Harrdanim focused his efforts on fighting the Liberation Army and the New Kingdom. Ruthless anti-partisan campaigns were carried out under his supervision. The displacement of Chaniska’s native population, scorched-earth tactics in Northern Ras'nrr, and the creation of Try'urma Penitentiary were among some of his orders during the conflict. His actions during the Second Revolution earned him the reputation of being merciless and bloodthirsty. In spite of several assassination attempts, ALA agents failed to murder him and he continued his reign of terror unimposed.

Even after the Armistice, Headmaster Harrdanim continues to work tirelessly to undermine the enemies of the Republic. He has a large interest in securing the Tajara population living outside of Adhomai and is responsible for the PSIS presence in District Six. He is eager to suggest more authoritarian solutions and believes in increasing, even more, the state’s control over the population. Because of the role of the Strategic Service in the government, Tyr'adrr is one of the most powerful and hated Tajara in the People's Republic. While seemingly loyal to President Hadii, many in the Party fear where Tyr'adrr's ambition might lead him.

===Party Secretary Yakiv Hadii===

Yakiv Hadii was born in '''2412''' as the second cousin to President Hadii. While too young to take part in the First Revolution, Yakiv joined the Hadiist Party as soon as he could. During Njadrasanukii’s rule, he excelled as a bureaucrat due to his organizational skills. He managed the distribution of land and the establishment of communal farms during the Republican Agrarian reforms. Through a combination of political maneuvers and nepotism, he quickly climbed the Party's ranks. Yakiv sought to further the Republican relationship with NanoTrasen, seeking their support for the development of Adhomai. This stance caused him to lose Al’mari’s favor during the years leading to the Second Revolution. He was then demoted to an unimportant position in the Ministry of Agriculture.

Yakiv returned to prominence after Rhagrrhuzau’s assassination; he was seen as a way to link Malik’s rule to his now-deceased brother. Following the abolishment of the office of vice-president, Yakiv was promoted as the Party Secretary by Njadrasanukii. He became responsible for the internal organization and reviewing applications to the Party; he was quick to remove many of his political opponents from power using his new powers. Known as unquestionably loyal to President Hadii, he became infamous for being nothing but a yes man. He continued his policy of maintaining good relations with megacorporations, lobbying for more deals with NanoTrasen. Countless Tajara were given the opportunity to leave Adhomai due to his efforts, most sold as cheap labor while some others were able to acquire higher education. During the final stages of the war, he was one of the main proponents of the need for foreign intervention to save the People's Republic.

After the Armistice, Yakiv remained as Party Secretary. He is one of the closest advisors to President Hadii, helping Malik in matters related to internal and external affairs. Despite being an orthodox Hadiist, he is eager to push for changes to appease NanoTrasen and other foreign powers in an attempt to gain their support. Many within the Party see Yakiv as a power-hungry and untrustworthy politician, eager to abuse his power to reach what he wants. Others recognize him as a cunning politician with a rather dangerous influence over President Hadii.

===Minister of Defense Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar===

Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar was born into a Hharar peasant family in '''2428'''. He was raised around veterans of the first revolution and was always interested in their stories. Owing to the new opportunities brought by the People’s Republic, Irbaykhan enrolled in a military academy and joined the Grand People's Army as an officer. He survived the purges of the early Hadiist government because of his political reliability; as he was one of the first army leaders to support President Hadii during his ascension. This left him in the privileged situation of being one of the few properly trained officers at the dawn of the Nated’s coup.

Irbaykhan quickly climbed the ranks of the Republican Army during the Second Revolution. Making extensive use of artillery and motorized troops, he secured early victories that gave much-needed breathing room to the fragile Republic. While in command of the Dymtris Front in '''2456''', he pushed the New Kingdom into the defensive position that they would remain in until the very end of the war. Mirarkiizar’s final promotion during the conflict was to the theater commander of the Rass’nrr Military District. With the help of the alien allies of the Republic, he managed to recapture the main region of the continent. He was given a seat in the Ministry of Defense after the Armistice, working alongside the upper echelons of the Party to refine the Republic’s strategy.

Unlike most members of the Ministry of Defense, Irbaykhan has both political connections and practical experience in the field. This combination has made him one of President Hadii’s closest advisors in regard to military matters. Currently, he is responsible for the Hro'zamal campaign. Mirarkiizar sees the Grand People's Army as an essential component of the Hadiist state; the ever-vigilant guardian of the Republic against its enemies. The Minister believes that strict discipline and union towards a common goal is the best way to safeguard the future of the People’s Republic.

===Minister of Technology Zhuldyz Hadii===

Born in '''2420''' to the Hadii dynasty, Zhuldyz enjoyed the many privileges granted to her family. She grew up fascinated by the new technologies brought by human contact; she would spend hours tinkering and dismantling electronics during her childhood. Later she was sent to study in prestigious Solarian universities, where she ventured into the field of robotics. Zhuldyz returned to Adhomai in 2449 and was granted a post in the Ministry of Technology.

Using the knowledge acquired off-world, Zhuldyz drew plans with the objective of modernizing the Republic through a technological revolution. The rapid industrialization aided by mechatronics would bring prosperity to the Tajara. While many of her initial projects were abruptly interrupted by Rhagrrhuzau's assassination, she remained in her position due to being a member of the Hadii dynasty. The unstable early years of Njadrasanukii’s presidency were unfavorable towards her dreams; stopping Nated’s coup and the Royalist uprising were top priorities at the time. However, as the frontlines stagnated and a semblance of normalcy returned to the People’s Republic, Zhuldyz had the chance to convince President Hadii of her plans. Knowing that losing the war would put an end to her pursuits, she turned her genius to the military field. Victory could be achieved through technological superiority. She was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Hadii Institute of Orbital Research|Hadii Institute of Orbital Research]], the expansion of the [[Tajara_Space_Capability#PRA_Army_Wing|Orbital Fleet]], and the creation of the Tesla Brigade. Zhuldyz was promoted to the office of the Minister of Technology shortly before the Armistice.

The Adhomian Cold War became the perfect testing ground for Zhuldyz's projects. She sees the period of peace as an opportunity to turn the People's Republic into a technological powerhouse. Zhuldyz believes that the future of Hadiism lies in science and that the Republic must become advanced enough to subjugate its enemies. Minister Hadii is not interested in ethical or safe research; she is eager to pursue dangerous and questionable experiments. No price is too small to pay during the march of progress. President Hadii gave Zhuldyz near uncontested authority to lead the Ministry of Technology. She was the mind behind the creation of the first independent robotic factory on Adhomai.

===Secretary of the Navy Hura'zhi Mira'zkui===

Born in '''2422''' to an exiled line of minor nobility from the Zatushka Kingdom, Mira’zkui grew up in the chaos of the First Revolution as the armies of the Hadiist rebels marched across Adhomai. When the dust had settled, despite his personal wishes to enter the party itself, his family would convince him to uphold their old traditions and join the forming Republican Navy in '''2447'''. It was then that Mira’zkui met Dynhaas and joined the Oceanmasters Lounge.

During the chaos of Dynhaas’ defection in '''2450''', Mira’zkui narrowly avoided his own death. Informed early by a loyal lieutenant that his own crew was plotting to kill him, Mira’zkui fled in a lifeboat and watched as his fellow officers were thrown screaming from the decks of their own ships. A few days later, he was found on the shores of Ras’nrr. As the Republic fell into chaos, Mira’zkui returned to the Republican Navy as Secretary, entrusted by Malik Hadii to fight against the pirate flotillas of the ALA and the Royal Navy. However, Mira’zkui’s loyalty was not able to make up for his inexperience. While the last of the Liberation Army’s pirate vessels were sunk, he was unable to contend with the strength of the Royal Navy and unable to achieve his personal desire: Capturing or killing Dynhaas.

Post-War, Mira’zkui has largely become reclusive and withdrawn from the public eye. While he continues to try and develop the Republican navy, Mira’zkui is forced to contend with funding going towards the projects of the Orbital Navy and Grand People’s Army. With a relationship of mutual dislike between himself and Zhuldyz Hadii, many within the party believe that Mira’zkui will likely be replaced eventually. How he would react to being denied any chance for revenge against Dynhaas is something no one knows.

===Chief Naval Commander Samirro Qarrarhaz===

Born in Northern Ras’nrr in '''2407''', Samirro was the son of a loyal M'sai general in the Hadii Hegemony. Qarrarhaz's family raised and taught him to follow in his father’s footsteps. He would become an artillery officer in '''2428''', finding great success during combat against monarchist groups through using extensive shelling to force and flush out the enemy. By '''2431''' Qarrarhaz was moved into Southern Harr’masir to prepare for an invasion of the Kingdom of Kaltir. His artillery crews were among those who scoured the Kingdom following its surrender, shelling whatever villas, castles, and manors they had found. A staunch ally of Al’mari Hadii and his family, Qarrarhaz has always stood by the Hadii family and the republic they had later built.

While also providing training for future artillery commanders in the interwar period, Qarrarhaz became part of a committee formed by President Al’mari Hadii to plan and prepare a space fleet for the PRA. He, along with other committee members, traveled to the Coalition of Colonies' planets of Xanu Prime and Himeo to observe anti-piracy operations in order to better develop the PRA’s own future space warfare doctrine in '''2452'''. When the Orbital Fleet was completed by '''2457''', Qarrarhaz was appointed Chief Naval Commander by President Malik Hadii. Since then, he has won numerous victories against piracy, smugglers, and even bested a [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/?do=findComment&comment=114422 Sol cruiser].

Post-war, Qarrarhaz continues to lead his spaceships and Kosmostrelki in the defense of the PRA’s claimed space. Comfortable and experienced in his position, Qarrarhaz has begun to speak more on the future of the PRA’s ventures into space. Controversially, the Commander has stated that the PRA must eventually extend its hand to the numerous small colonies and off-worlder communities dotting the frontier around them. Arguing that Hadiism’s light must be spread beyond Tajara, it is his belief that the PRA must one day uplift these groups from their poverty and absorb them into the state.

===Minister of Education Kalim Khazdar===

Kalim Khazdar was born in '''2430''' to a family of Hharar foremen in the city of Tampiska. Deemed a bright child by his teachers, he was sent to study in Al'marii. Captivated by the tales of progress and prosperity brought by the interwar period, Kalim enrolled at the Al'marii College of Hadiist Sciences. He continued his studies intending to become a college teacher. During his time as a student, he became a good friend and protégé of the rector of the university, Mahir Hadii. His friendship with a member of the political dynasty opened many doors for him.

Kalim joined the Hadiist party during the Second Revolution. He later visited Tau Ceti to study the Adhomian community there; his experiences in District Six deeply affected his ideas. He saw all the social problems that those who lived under the megacorporation rule were subject to. Instead of losing faith in Hadiism, he started to believe that reforms were necessary to save the People's Republic; NanoTrasen should be a means to an end, not the end itself. Kalim returned to Adhomai in 2459 and became a college professor. Thanks to his connections, he soon got involved with the administration and politics of the university. His papers on the subject of Hadiist education were generally well-received by the academia.

With the Armistice of Shastar, Kalim Khazdar aligned himself to the Young Hadiist faction; his sympathy towards the movement was largely unknown to the Party. His ascension to the position of Minister of Education in 2463 was the result of a confidential deal between his mentor and President Hadii. Despite being considered a powerless and inexperienced politician by the other members of the Hadiist cabinet, Kalim is not to be underestimated. Cunning will be necessary to avoid the wrath of President Hadii and his lackeys. The path to a truly free People's Republic will be a long and difficult one.

===Yasmin Piaf===

[[File:Yasminp.jpg|150px|thumb|right|A photograph of Yasmin Piaf handed out at a concert, 2459.]]
Yasmina Burokov, aka Yasmin Piaf, was born in 2434 in the suburbs of Nal'tor to a particularly well-off Njarir'Akhran family. Yasmin's father, Boris Burokov was a low-ranking State department official and devout loyalist of the People's Republic. She spent her childhood being educated in the best State-run schools their family could afford and enjoyed relative wealth and prosperity far from the poorer outskirts of the city.

Even from a young age, Yasmin was interested in music. She was part of her school's choir and participated in several nationwide contests for the honor of singing for President Rhagrrhuzau Hadii. The all-female 'Band of Njarir Maidens' consisting of Yasmin and her classmates eventually won and sang for the President and other members of his cabinet at the end of the annual military parade held in Nal'tor. Eventually, she graduated and went on to the Academy of Musical Arts with a full scholarship.

Talent scouts pruning the burgeoning academy's student pool for the next starlet eventually discovered Yasmin during rehearsals for the school's upcoming musical, and she signed a tentative deal with the small publication Vostak Recordings. Her first record, simply titled The Man in Rouge, was released with minimal fanfare. Given that she had sung a small solo during her performance for the President, some Tajara recalled her name.

Yet her voice, described by some as angelic and innocent, found purchase with an aging generation of Tajara who wished a brief return to peaceful normalcy following the First Revolution. Her dedication to the traditional pop standard and recognition for torch songs eventually elevated her to the status of a household name, with her recording label releasing hit after hit. As a result, Yasmin Piaf has become one of the most famous singers in the modern era - one who has fostered a close relationship with State officials. She is one of the few artists who are approved to be played on State radio KGTW-11.

===Andrey Borisov===

Out of all the Tajara that one could argue embody loyalty to the People’s Republic, perhaps none are more memorable than Andrey Alexander Borisov. In the average Republican household, his name is just as common as President Hadii’s, owing to the fact that he is the face of State propaganda and news network RAFИ. Born in 2416 to a line of M’sai warriors, Andrey was not even two years old before humanity stumbled across Adhomai and lit the flame that ignited the First Revolution.

Andrey’s father and uncle were killed in the uprising, leaving him, his mother, and his sister alone to fend for themselves. His mother curried favor with the local rebel leader when their town fell to the onslaught of war; she became his concubine and, later, his wife. The ever-advancing front saw Andrey moved from home to home, where the young M’sai would often spend time talking to soldiers recovering after harsh fighting. They nourished a sense of patriotism in him, and eventually, he came to see the First Revolution as necessary for the future of the Tajara.

The war ended in 2432, when he was merely 16 years old. As the newly founded People’s Republic began the arduous transition from a movement to a government, Andrey’s connections with the upper echelon of PRA politicians bore fruit. He was taken on as a member of an officer’s general staff, headquartered in Nal’Tor, where he served as little more than a glorified secretary. His position put him in contact with the elite, however, and many found him charming and personable. His silver tongue earned him the interest of Dmitrys Marakov, the owner of the only State-approved television station at that point in time.

His ascension from lowly secretary to the major news anchor for RAFИ was one that involved plenty of political maneuvering, money - and, rumored by some, violence - but ultimately Andrey had proved his loyalty to the political elite of the People's Republic and he was rewarded with the honor of being their mouthpiece. As a result, no Tajara on Adhomai can go very long without seeing his smiling face on their television set, spinning the next story or cover-up at the behest of the State.

==Democratic People's Republic==

''"We are soldiers. We are fighters. We are war. We have forsaken the corrupt and decaying corpse of the xeno-loving People's Republic. We have left our homes and our families, but our cause is righteous. The suns are with us! The vile usurper of my friend and comrade Al'mari will have justice delivered to him! We will spill the blood of our enemies until our struggles are seen and heard, and we WILL retake OUR Republic!"

''- Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan, the day after the coup de tat began, 2451.''

===Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan===
[[File:Nateed portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A surprise picture of Nated, taken in 2458.]]
Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan was born in '''2404''' to a M'sai family under the service of the Hadii Dynasty. The son of a royal guard, Nated interacted with many Njarir children in his early life. He grew to resent their narcissism but was prepared to inherit his duty nonetheless. When the First Revolution ignited in '''2421''', Halkiikijr fought for the loyalists alongside the Hadii family. Becoming a battle-brother of Rhagrrhuzau Hadii, or better known as Al'Mari Hadii, Nated stood with the Hadii’s decision to abandon their royal roots and join the revolutionaries. When the war ended Al'Mari was sworn into office, Halkiikijr was made a Commander in Chief of the Republican Army in return for his service.

Al'Mari supposedly made promises of swearing-in Halkiikijr as the next president of the People's Republic once the political climate on Adhomai had stabilized. The legitimacy of this claim is not known, but what is known is that Al'Mari was assassinated during a military parade in '''2451''' and Njadrasanukii Hadii, vice president of the People's Republic, swore himself in as the successor of the presidency. Outraged at the assassination and accusing Njadrasanukii of treachery against the People’s Republic, Nated organized a coup against Malik. Bringing together military commanders dissatisfied with the new Hadiist policies, Halkiikijr created the Adhomai Liberation Army to dethrone the new President. He then took the title of Supreme Commander.

As the putsch attempt was thwarted by the Hadiist forces, Nated fled to Shastar City. The coup then turned into a full-blown civil war between the Liberation Army and the People’s Republic. Without off-world help, Nated called to arms anyone willing to support his cause. His movement became a unifying front to all kinds of elements opposing President Hadii; from democratic reformers to extremists fighting to free Adhomai from alien influence. For a decade, Halkiikijr led the Liberation Army as an effective opposing force against the People’s Republic and the New Kingdom. He favored the extensive use of irregular warfare coupled with the deployment of the army to secure decisive battles. A cult of personality formed around Halkiikijr; extremists claimed that he was a prophet sent by the Gods. The Supreme Commander took advantage of this belief to cultivate undying loyalty and fanaticism among his followers.

Believing that the territories under his control were ready for a democracy modeled after the Al'mariist principles, Nated's undisputed rule came to an end with the creation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai. Halkiikijr retired from his position as Supreme Commander to prevent a coup against the newly elected president. His retirement did not last long; he returned to power because of the Amohdan crisis in '''2462'''. Nated was given back the control of the Liberation Army and its remaining juntas to retake the Island of Amohda. After this display of weakness, Halkiikijr is unsure if the DPRA is truly ready to rule Adhomai. For him, the ALA is now more essential than before. Nated also faces infighting between his two right-hand men; commander Kahan and Kyff.

===Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad===

Kahan Hro'rammhad was born in '''2412''' to a Hharar family as their oldest children. A peasant from birth in the region of Southern Harr'masir, he was taught the traditional values of S'rendarr and Messa by his deeply religious parents. His childhood was cut short by the outbreak of the First Revolution; his family was expelled from their lands by the war. Thanks to its flat terrain, Southern Harr’masir saw the first deployment of armored vehicles in the conflict; trains, civilian cars, and trucks were outfitted for warfare by the rebels. Hro’rammhad joined the crew of an armored car as soon he turned 14 years old. Because of the high mortality among the revolutionaries, Kahan quickly found himself in the command of his own brigade. He became famous for his excellent use of the vehicles’ speed to encircle the enemy, and for his merciful nature. Monarchists soldiers were always given the chance of joining his side after capture. Hro’rammhad also forbade unnecessary executions and mistreatment of prisoners among his fighters.

Commander Kahan and his brigade were incorporated into the Hadiist faction shortly before the end of the First Revolution. As a member of the Republican Army, he was a major proponent of the transformation of the People’s Army into a motorized force. Tank brigades and motostrelki units were created under his supervision. Kahan funded the reconstruction of many temples destroyed during the revolution and frequently donated to charity through the interwar period. Hro’rammhad joined Nated’s coup due to his profound disagreement with Malik’s policies; he saw the oppression of the Zhan-Khazan as morally corrupt. Armored units that defected alongside him were organized into the Hro'rammhad Tank Corps under his command.

Hro'rammhad remained a merciful and pious Tajara through the Second Revolution. He rejected the notion of irregular warfare and continued to offer mercy to his enemies. As the leader of the main armored force in the Liberation Army, Kahan played an important role in decisive battles. This position allowed him to become a right-hand man for Nated. As part of his religiousness, Hro'rammhad considered the conflict to be a battle to protect the faith against the innate atheism of Hadiism. Religious imagery and motifs became common among his Tajara. The men under Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad are known to have the utmost respect for his bravery and mercy, most even going so far as to worship him as an embodiment of S'rendarr's justice. His success during the civil war earned him the nickname of “Undefeated Commander''.

Despite the armistice, Commander Kahan remains as one of the second-in-command for Halkiikijr. He is an avid supporter of the transition to democracy, advocating for the dismantlement of the juntas. This position earned him many enemies among the more authoritarian elements within the Liberation Army. He is known to despise Commander Kyff Hotak for his tactics and personality. Both Tajara are currently engaged in an internal struggle to consolidate their influence over the Liberation Army.

===Commander Kyff Hotak===

Born in the year '''2406''' to a family of Zhan-Khazan miners in the Trizar, Kyff Hotak was supposedly destined to slave away for his Njarir master as his ancestors did for many generations. To avoid this fate, Hotak fled his home as a young Tajara. He ran into the wilderness until he found a bandit camp. Because of his age, the brigands decided to adopt Kyff as the group’s mascot. The boy grew up witnessing all kinds of crime and violence; later taking part in the band’s activity when old enough. The bandits sided with the rebels during the First Revolution in search of plunder. But their greed was their undoing; the criminals were massacred by the revolutionaries after they were discovered stealing rations. Hotak survived by being the one to report the activities of his previous comrades. As the war dragged on, Kyff became more bold and cruel in his revolutionary activities. He frequently engaged in assassinations, massacres, and false flag operations to crush the monarchists’ morale. Hotak was soon feared by his comrades and hated by his enemies. To him, everything was permissible to achieve victory. Impressed by the victories of the Hadii faction, he joined them as part of the early Ha'narr Corps.

The interwar period was fairly unremarkable for Kyff Hotak; he was given a low-ranking office position in the intelligence department. While Hotak advocated for the recreation of a force similar to the Mountain Ghost Corps, his request was ignored by the Hadiist high command. Memories of his excess in the First Revolution stopped Hotak from receiving any further promotions. He grew discontent with the People’s Republic, believing that he deserved more for his service. Seeing Nated's coup as an opportunity to rise to power, Kyff defected to the Liberation Army without hesitation.

Hotak organized his own unit of commando early into the war; a battalion trained in stealth operations. As a major proponent of irregular warfare, he also helped organize guerilla cells and coordinate terrorist attacks. The success of these groups granted him enough influence to become one of Nated's right-hand men. However, Commander Kyff quickly returned to his old ways; he started to wage a campaign of unrestrained terror. The presence of his soldiers became a harbinger of indiscriminate persecution, murder, excessive property requisition, and collective punishment against any community suspected of working with the enemy. Despite the protest of the civilian population and Commander Kahan, Halkiikijr refused to replace Kyff. Taking advantage of his reputation, Hotak ordered his Tajara to spread stories of him being the earthly manifestation of Messa's wrath. This tactic proved to be effective both among his enemies and allies.

Commander Kyff Hotak remains in service even after the armistice. Many within the army and the civilian administration desire to see Hotak punished for his war crimes, but Supreme Commander Nated continues to protect him. Kyff is a hardline supporter of the more authoritarian elements in the government and desires a strong centralized leadership above all else. He and Commander Hro'rammhad are rivals; both Tajara commonly fight each other over which direction the Liberation Army should go. Hotak is always accompanied by his pet [[Adhomai#Farwa (Tree-Hopper)|Farwa]], Ghiyath.

===President Almrah Harrlala===

President Almrah Harrlala was born in '''2426''' to a family of Hharar factory workers in Shastar City. While her childhood was relatively unaffected by the First Revolution, she enjoyed many of the benefits brought by the People’s Republic during the interwar period. Being the first member of her household to receive a proper education, she became involved in the Party’s politics at a considerable young age. She believed that a stable democracy built upon the will of the people was the best path for Adhomai. She was also wary of the presence of megacorporations on the planet, considering their activities as harmful to the development of the Tajara species She campaigned for more worker’s rights and laws restricting corporation’s activities in the PRA. Almrah held a position within the Party until the ascension of President Njadrasanukii Hadii; he ordered the arrest of Harrlala due to her views.

Harrlala was held prisoner in Shastar during the first moments of the Civil war, only the capture of the city by the Liberation Army saved her from being transferred to another location. Hoping to continue her career in politics, she aligned herself with the rebels. Even if the despotic and extremist tendencies of the ALA worried Almrah, she held to Nated's promise of saving the Republic. She was given the position of Provisional Minister of Civil Rights when the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai was established.

As the Minister of Civil Rights, Almrah worked to protect the regional identities present in the DPRA. Her campaign to end military rule over the country while still upholding the principles of Al’mariism made her a popular figure among the moderate sectors of the population. Seeking to expand her political influence, she founded the National Adhomai Worker's Party. She was one of the candidates in the presidential elections of '''2460'''; she won the office of president by a narrow margin. President Harrlala’s ascension to power displeased the authoritarian wing of the Liberation Army, the military then planned a coup to restore their own rule. The putsch was stopped by the intervention of Supreme Commander Nated, who later resigned from his position to grant more powers to the civilian administration.

Following the Armistice, President Almrah Harrlala continued with her internal policies while maintaining a strong stance against foreign dominance. Under her rule, schools to preserve local cultures and languages were established, Gakal’zaal was liberated from the Unathi rule, and the DPRA developed its nuclear program. Her status as one of the first female rulers in modern Tajaran history has inspired many women to engage in DPRA politics. However, her regime is plagued with deep issues. The ghost of separatism lingers over the nation after the Amohdan attempt to secede. Her ability to reconcile the various factions in the government was severely doubted when she failed to draw a plan to handle the rebellious island. Since the return of Halkiikijr to power, the authoritarian elements see this as a moment of weakness in the young Republic. President Harrlala must be ready to face further opposition if she wants to see her vision of Adhomai come to life.

===Ex-interim President Brajrr Alnadruskiy===

Born in '''2423''' in the city of Mztel’mir, Brajjr Alnadruskiy was the youngest child of a family of brewers. He later joined the Republican Army at 17 years old, slowly climbed the ranks through diligent service to the military. Brajrr attributed the prosperity of interwar Adhomai to the strong leadership of President Al’mari; he believed that the Republic always needed a strongman in control to succeed. He severely doubted Malik’s competence because of his decision to undo his brother’s reform.

Brajrr finally rose to prominence with Nated's coup. Upon hearing of the revolution, he rallied the Liberation Army’s aligned troops in Das’nrra to assault Shastar. Alnadruskiy's attack was successful and he was named the Rrhaza-Akhran of the city. Shastar became the headquarter of the ALA, giving Brajrr a reasonable amount of influence within the army high command. He was known for his rigorous discipline and unforgiving nature. Many war prisoners were forced into labor by his orders. Brajrr was given the position of Interim President when the Democratic People’s Republic was created.

Alnadruskiy ran for president in the 2460 elections, seeking to centralize the nation and maintain the Army’s sway over the government. He founded the Free Tajaran People’s Party, gathering the most authoritarian elements in the Republic. After Almrah Harrlala’s victory by a narrow margin, he took part in the putsch against the newly elected president. Despite the defeat of the mutiny, Brajrr managed to convince Halkiikijr that he was forced by the extremists to join them. He was released and allowed to return to politics.

Ex-interim President Brajjr Alnadruskiy now leads the opposition to Harrlala’s regime. He continues to support a centralized state under the leadership of Supreme Commander Nated. Even when the successes of the current administration displease him, their latest crisis has given him enough to challenge Almrah. The return of Halkiikijr to the control of the Army is also considered a victory for him and his followers. Alnadruskiy awaits for the right moment of weakness to retake control of the DPRA.

===Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar===

The first and thus far only incident of weapons of mass destruction being employed on Adhomai happened in 2458, when the People’s Republic dropped a four-megaton nuclear bomb on the Liberation Army base in Quizosa. The death toll from the detonation was staggering, but the fallout from the bomb was carried on strong winds, leading to severe cases of radiation poisoning from the neighboring camps.

Tajara medical experience with radiation poisoning and the effects of nuclear bombs were practically non-existent. The only species in the galaxy that had the technology long before the Tajara were Xenos, and the Liberation Army did not have the luxury of free contact with extraplanetary forces. With the sick and dying mounting, a call for help was sent out to the surrounding territories. Many physicians and doctors made the long and difficult journey in the winter snows to help - at the forefront of them, Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar.

The effects of the bomb were catastrophic. Survivors were badly burned. Their fur fell out, never to grow back again - leaving them susceptible to Adhomai’s frigid temperatures. Their skin peeled off in sickly ribbons, hanging limply to the ground. Doctors were at a loss, with only a rudimentary understanding of what could have happened. Dr. Aleksandra took a sort of unofficial command of the medical effort, and coordinated efforts to assist the sick and dying.

Liberation-sympathetic Tajara, at her prodding, recovered as many documents as they could regarding the atom bomb from PRA-aligned holdings, downloading information from the extranet and thieving textbooks from high-security locations. Thanks to her ingenuity and leadership, the haphazard medical team of doctors saved a great many innocents from a slow, painful death - though they would have to live with the effects of the bomb for the rest of their lives. Dr. Aleksandra is widely known for her opposition to nuclear proliferation, due to her experiences, and has become the face of a growing anti-WMD movement across Ras’narr.

===Arzjun Haurjuhrl===

Rumors persist that Arzjun Haurjuhrl was sired out of wedlock, a result of an affair between a Zhan-Khazan mistress and a rebel leader. He was born in '''2427''' in the warmer regions near the city of Olska, and lived alone with his mother. He was scarcely a child when the war ended and the People’s Republic came to prominence. Both he and his mother suffered much in the way of discrimination - for being Zhan-Khazan as well as having a bastard child. This disconnect between what the People’s Republic promised and the way they were treated caused the young Arzjun to become disillusioned with the Republic.

He was further tested when his mother suddenly fell ill and died in the winter of 2445. With nothing left tying him down, abandoned as he had been by Adhomain society, he took what little funds they had been saving and paid a smuggler to carry him off-world. It took every penny but eventually, he found himself in Mendell City, carrying nothing but the clothes on his back. For a time, he lived on the streets, forced to beg to make ends meet. He soon found work at one of the shelters he had often stayed at. The community of Little Adhomai was more welcoming to him than the homeworld had been.

Deciding to pay back the kindness he received, he took part in many community outreach programs, including plays and dramas for the children of Little Adhomai. His passion for the arts as a medium of expression took root here, and his name rose to some prominence amongst the local Tajara population thanks to his charity work. He aspired to work on his own big picture and got his chance thanks to the collective donations of many Tajara. Wealthy Xenos also had an interest in seeing what the immigrant could do, though perhaps a few thought it would look good as a public relations move.

The script he wrote went through many revisions and sat for a good while before it was picked up by a studio. The community who had helped him before had done it once again; the surprise blockbuster When Summer Came to Nazira was one of the top ten highest-grossing films in Biesel history. Its anti-tyranny message was seen by some as an expression of the director’s own viewpoint on the People’s Republic. In some ways, they were correct - Arzjun is a quiet supporter of the DPRA, which has put him at odds with the Republican government. As a result, his film is banned from showing on Adhomai - though this has not stopped smuggled copies from being distributed amongst DPRA theaters.

==New Kingdom==

''"Loyal subjects, countrymen, brothers. It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that we must conscript from the provinces in order to maintain our fight in this war. However, you are not alone. Even as the new compulsory service legislature is passed, the aristocrats across the kingdom are likewise mobilized under a new service gentry system, so that all of the Kingdom is together in this struggle."''

''- King Vahzirathaamro Azunja, announcing the beginning of conscription and formalization of the service gentry in 2453.''

=== King Vahzirthaamro Azunja===

King Azunja was born in 2400 in the city of Kaltir to the noble Njarir’Akhran Azunja line. His father was Farkhanzirhal and his mother Dramahdarmah. Located in the far reaches of Kaltir, the Azunja family line was one of compassion and fair treatment, as only in unity and brotherhood could they hope to survive the harsh far reaches of Northern Adhomai. Their peasants were kept well and treated with dignity, and the nobles, while privileged, never indulged in cruelty. A noble paige since the age of 10, Vahzirthaamro excelled in reading and writing from an early age. He prepared to inherit the family throne as the sole son of his parents until the first civil war of Adhomai ignited in 2421.

When war broke out between the nobility and peasants, house Azunja was hesitant to pick sides, as they disagreed with the morals of both sides. Their distant position in the wild made them capable of ignoring the war until its end, as the Hadii family was placed at the head of Adhomai in 2432. Carrying the flags of the newly founded People's Republic of Adhomai, the Republic's army demanded the surrender of all nobility in Kaltir. The entire populace requested to be left in peace, as the peasantry and nobility there had never declared war on one another. Believing the peasants were utterly spineless and brainwashed, the People's Republic executed all current nobles ruthlessly, scattering the royalty of the region. Vahzirthaamro was placed in prison by his father's retinue of intellectuals, who declared he had to remain hidden amongst the lowest of the low if he wished to stay alive. From that moment on, Vahzirthaamro Azunja knew that peace was impossible so long as a compromise was not made, and a true constitutional monarchy was made the unanimous government on Adhomai.

Word passed amongst the Tajara at the work camps about the possibility that Vahzirthaamro still lived as many pre-war intellectuals gathered with him in private. They spun every possibility of a government, even discussing adopting human political systems as they gathered workers, fighters, poets, and philosophers to form an organized nation as they spread their ideas to the guards of the facility, a majority of which who were old peasants under the Azunja family who thought the entirety of the nobility had been executed. Delighted to see his return, they joined his side and swore allegiance to his family once more.

In 2449, in the middle of the night, Vahzirthaamro was released in secret along with the entirety of his retinue, as they quickly spread from town to town, asking for assistance from newly appointed officials and workers. Before long, the reminiscent families of the Kaltir region were happy to rejoin their flock. By 2450 his claim to rule had spread to all of Northern Harr'masir, and the New Kingdom of Adhomai officially seceded as an independent nation under the newly declared King Vahzirthaamro Azunja. He then led the Kingdom for the next decade, managing the balance between the different factions within the government and the ongoing war. Vahzirthaamro became a unifying figure for the population. After successfully securing Kaltir's ancient lands and negotiating the armistice that brought the end to the war, King Vahzirthaamro passed away in 2463. His niece, Shumaila Azunja, inherited his throne.

===Queen Shumaila Azunja===

[[File:Shumaila portrait.png|200px|thumb|right| A portrait done of Queen Shumaila Azunja, holding the ceremonial orr'bu s'rrendar, circa 2460.]]
Shumaila Azunja was born in 2431 in Northern Harr’smirr, as the daughter of one of the kingdom’s princes. She survived the Republican slaughter by being hidden away among the peasantry, raised in secret by individuals still loyal to the old ruling dynasty. From a young age, Shumaila began to participate in secretive royalist circles within Kaltir. Here, she began her service to the kingdom by helping distribute leaflets proclaiming the coming of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. When the uprising broke out in 2450, she joined the new Imperial Adhomian Army. Shumaila then rose through the officer ranks quickly, becoming a commander in the Jabrut Almumalik and establishing a name for herself on the front.

Many of those who served under Shumaila describe her as being a woman of unbreakable will, never faltering as casualties stacked or as barrages shattered the ground around her. Some even say she wouldn’t even blink at the sight of the PRA’s dreaded tanks rolling towards the lines. For her exploits in the war’s 2459 offensive and the defense of the Vlrralkhzazhul line, Shumaila came to be known as “The Storm of Harr’smir”, matching her iron will with a burning fury to destroy the kingdom’s enemies.

In 2460, after meeting with several prospective heirs, King Vahzirthaamro had chosen his niece Shumaila to serve as the Crown Heir. Although the majority supported this decision alongside most of Parliament and the nobility, a large fraction remained wary of the decision of a military leader over other options. However, this opposition has shrunk over the past few years. Shumaila remains strong on her position of expanding the military, but she has also spoken about increasing ties to the galaxy’s Megacorporations to modernize the New Kingdom. Nor has she made any comments regarding changing the democratic systems of Parliament and the Chamber. Coupled with her public appearances and active presence in the newspapers, many woes and worries of her ascension have been dissuaded.

Since entering the public eye in 2459, Shumaila enjoys much support from the women of Kaltir. Many look to her as an inspiration, buying “military” style jackets to emulate her look, given that Shumaila became one of the few Tajara women to lead a nation. However, this fame has also led to calls from the nobility and her family to choose a husband. Shumaila retains that her marriage comes after her coronation. She was finally crowned in 2463 after King Azunja passed away. Outside of continuing her uncle's legacy, her plans to the Kingdom are still unclear to the wide public

===Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan===
[[File:Marshal portrait.png|200px|thumb|right| A portrait of Field-Marshal Zarkradar'Akhan, circa 2420.]]
Rrhazhal was born in '2380 to the noble Njarir’Akhran Zarkradar'Akhan line, however, he was a legitimized bastard of a Zhan-Kazan maid. As the youngest of his brothers, Rrhazhal was sent into the service of the Azunja family as King Farkhanzirhal Azunja's servant at the age of 10. King Azunja noticed the young child had a talent for philosophy and strategy. The two had many intellectual discussions together as Rrhazhal quickly became a trusted advisor of King Farkhanzirhal by the time he was 20. At this time, King Azunja decided he trusted Rrhazhal with protecting the life of the newly born Vahzirthaamro. On the eve of the First Civil War, Rrhazhal was tasked with training the peasantry of Kaltir in order to defend their fiefdom and nobility against attackers. When Kaltir was annexed by the People's Republic of Adhomai in 2432, Farkhanzirhal frenziedly ordered Rrhazhal to hide Vahzirthaamro before People's Republic soldiers stormed the palace, killing almost everyone. From then on Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan personally accompanied Vahzirthaamro Azunja as his protector and chief advisor.

In 2450, once the New Kingdom had officially declared independence from the People's Republic of Adhomai, Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan was promoted to the rank of Field-Marshal personally by King Azunja, and today oversees all military operations inside of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Respected for his tactical skill but notorious for his radical belief that a compromise is not possible and a complete return to the old nobility is Adhomai's only option for peace, Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan is one of the oldest fighting nobles left on Adhomai.

===Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas===

Hailing from a royal cadet line and born in 2402, Dynhaas followed his father and brothers to join the Das’nrra Empire’s navy at a young age. When the First Revolution came, naval losses coupled with the rebel conquest of Das’nnra resulted in Dynhaas, the last man left of his line, surrendering and being imprisoned. With the war’s end in 2432, Dynhaas was offered a pardon by the Party in exchange for developing the Republican Navy. He would come to accept this over the alternative of death.

Accepting his defeat and believing that the age of nobility came to an end, Dynhaas came to view the Republican Navy as his new purpose in life. He worked to advance it alongside other pardoned nobles and founded the Oceanmasters Lounge, a private club within the naval officer corps. This path in life would change with the announcement of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Believing that a way to restore the old glory days of kingdoms laid with the NKA, Dynhaas began to plan a revolt. Partnering with other sympathetic admirals, he had the Republican Navy’s Grand Admiral and several other loyalists killed on a fateful night at the Shastar Naval Base before fleeing eastwards in 2450. In the same year that the New Kingdom was declared, Dynhaas delivered them the strongest naval force Adhomai had ever seen. King Azunja had declared him the Kingdom’s Grand Admiral shortly after meeting with Dynhaas in Miran’mir.

With the Republican Navy's command almost crippled and the ALA unable to compete with their dominance of the sea, Dynhaas used his fleets during the war to support and supply the Royal Army while helping smash the enemies of the New Kingdom. The artillery barrages of his ships were important in coastal battles during the NKA's offensives while their supremacy saved the Royal Marines from certain destruction following the failed Ras'nrr expedition. The prestige of his position made Dynhaas an instant celebrity in the NKA as well. Many propaganda reels and photos showed him as a majestic lord of the sea, something he capitalized on heavily to present himself as the very pinnacle of noble glory. Always well-groomed, well-dressed, and impeccable at talking despite whatever circumstances he was in, Dynhaas never passed the opportunity to host an interview. Most notable was Dynhaas' interview on his opinions of xenos of the S'rand’marr coalition, conducted on his capital vessel while it sieged Nal'tor in the final stages of the war. His statements on Unathi and Skrell were less than positive. After the expulsion of the People's Republic from Harr'masir in 2461, Admiral Mahtra infamously ordered the Royal Navy to engage in an unrestricted bombardment campaign of the eastern Hadiist coast. Cities and villages were targets of frequent naval artillery strikes; the battleships shelled military and civilian targets indiscriminately. The Navy infamously used incendiary shells during these attacks, causing entire neighborhoods to be engulfed in firestorms.

Post-war, Dynhaas went on several speaking tours in the first year of the armistice. Traveling from city to city, his public events were used to promote his upcoming biography and drew crowds in the tens of thousands. Politically, he maintains that the future of the NKA always lies within the navy, and that the industry of the New Kingdom must always retain a heavy focus on their shipyards. Dynhaas has also been vocal in his beliefs of a stronger monarch, often using the emergency powers King Azunja had as an example of the strong benefits that could come with such. He is yet to comment at all on his supposed rival, Mira'zkui, at all.

===Grand Duke Akym Yudenikh===

Born in the Das'nrra Empire to a noble family in 2412, Akym Yudenikh survived the First Revolution by escaping to Northern Harr'masir and hiding his identity. After the Hadiist occupation of the Kingdom of Kaltir, Yudenikh joined the People's Republic bureaucracy; he became responsible for the administration of the local rail system. Akym was infamous for his corruption; he frequently sold permits, disregarded contraband reports, and accepted bribes.

Because of his background, Akym was contacted by the underground royalist movement. He quickly became one of the main supporters of the group; he used his position within the Hadiist government to secure supplies and funding for the incoming uprising. Weapons, machinery, and ammunition were diverted to the Royalist cells. Akym was awarded the title of baron, a seat in the parliament, and some land confiscated from the People's Republic when Vahzirthaamro returned. However, his ambitions did not stop there. Using the money made from his time as a Republican bureaucracy, alongside whatever profit he could extract from his new holdings, Yudenikh continued to acquire more estate. Newly liberated farms were sold to him at a meager price thanks to his connections within the government. In a question of years, he became a Grand Duke and one of the major landowners of the New Kingdom. Akym controversially used prisoners of war as workers in his plantations during the Second Revolution as part of deals with the military.

Following the Armistice, Akym Yudenikh now leads the Royalist Party; his main mission is to maintain the status quo. The continuation of the constitutional monarchy and the privileges of the nobility align perfectly with his interests. He is one of the major supporters of further deals with megacorporations. Grand Duke Akym is not afraid to use his position to protect his interest in the parliament. Under his vision, prosperity for the New Kingdom means more power and wealth to its elite.

===Prince Serhiy Oliinyk===

Born as the third son to a family of Njarir'Akhran in 2434, Serhiy Oliinyk's life was profoundly affected by events over which he had no control. Raised in a household of avid royalists supporters, Serhiy was exposed to his parents' ideology since his youth. However, the boy had his reservations in regards to the possible return of the monarchy; he doubted that they could truly avoid the mistakes of the past. For his support during the uprising in Northern Harr'masir, the patriarchy of the Oliinyk family was given a seat in the parliament, a title of nobility, and a modest tract of land. Serhiy mistakenly believed that he could escape his bloodline's obligation thanks to his status as the third child. He already had a passion in his life: playing the P'rrama.

The war was cruel to the Oliinyk. Serhiy's brothers were killed while serving the army. This put him in an uneasy position as the heir of a parliamentary seat. The growing debt forced his father to sell whatever land they had left; the Oliinyk had officially joined the ranks of landless nobility. The final blow came in 2459 with the bombing of the Parliament; Serhiy inherited his progenitor's seat after his demise in the attack. The young musician was thrown into the midst of the New Kingdom's politics. Influenced by his social status and beliefs, he aligned himself to the Commoners Party.

If he is truly unable to escape his fate, Prince Serhiy decided to make the best out of it. Because of his age and a family full of martyrs, Serhiy became the Commoners Party's main spokesperson. Convincing the Queen to support the Populists will not be easy; the Conservatives and Absolutists are far more powerful and influential. A powerful strategy is necessary to guarantee the Commoners Party triumph in the parliament. Serhiy plans to retire from politics after the hereditary parliamentary positions are banned and the Kingdom is fairer to its population. He hopes to return to his greatest passion: music.

===Count Tscherim Sanguszkho===

Hailing from a cadet house of the Rrhakaslov dynasty, Tscherim Sanguszkho was born in 2433 shortly after his family escaped to Kaltir to avoid the First Revolution's massacres. He was raised on a small farm frequented by disposed nobles and royalist sympathizers. Sheltered from the rest of Adhomai, he grew only knowing the world only through the nostalgic tales of pre-contact Njarir'Akhran, The Sanguszkho family was quick to offer their support to King Azunja when he returned; the Tscherim's father was given a seat in the parliament. Tscherim became a low-ranking officer in the army.

Tscherim Sanguszkho's military career came to an end in 2460 when he was gravely wounded in combat. Taking advantage of his pension and family's position, Tscherim spent the next years in gentlemen's clubs. In these places, he entered into contact with radical Absolute Royalists and became deeply interested in [[Tajaran Minor Religions#Ancient Tajara Theory|esoteric beliefs]]. Tscherim founded his organization in 2462: the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity. Drawing inspiration from the stories of an idealized pre-First Contact society, the ideology known as Revival Royalism was born from the Fraternity's meetings. Posing as a regular club, Tscherim was able to introduce other nobles to his ideals. Knowing that the task of enforcing the old order was not an easy one, Sanguszkho chose a common enemy to unite the kingdom against: the Tajara of mixed heritage.

Tscherim's plan came to fruition when his father died in a car accident in 2463; he inherited a landed title, a state, and a seat in the Parliament. Shortly after, the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity opened its membership to the public and made its intentions clear. Thanks to a deal with the Officers and Royal parties, the Fraternity became the fourth faction in the Parliament. Despite being the leader of the smallest Party, Count Tscherim has already begun to plot to slowly introduce his ideology into the New Kingdom.

===Ser Mrakhanjurl Ii'rka===

Mrakhanjurl was born in 2422 in a Zhan-Khazan family in a small village outside Olska. He received little education nor traveled far outside his village. As soon as he came of age at 16 he joined the rest of the village mining bauxite ore to be shipped to Olska to make aluminum. He eventually lost both parents to lung cancer from the mine's poor ventilation before he was 23. In 2452, when he was 29, he traveled with a dozen other Zhan-Khazan miners several miles to Olska to join a protest against the new legislation of President Hadii that was meant to crack down 'subversive elements' that many felt were unfair to Zhan-Khazan. The army was called in and brutally repressed the demonstration, which saw Mrakhanjurl narrowly escape with his life. He returned to his village to find that it had been torched by the republican army for housing subversive agitators.

Mrakhanjurl mourned the loss of his village and was picked up by rebel militia, who revealed that they had managed to provide early warning to the village and evacuate over a dozen people, but the army had managed to find and kill all but a handful of survivors. In gratitude for the rebels dying for his village, and to avenge the deaths, Mrakhanjurl joined the armed resistance that eventually joined itself under the New Kingdom of Adhomai. In a very short few years became a remarkable marksman, gaining the most recorded kills of any Tajara sniper. Current New Kingdom estimates put Mrakhanjurl's kill count at 285, 32 of those enemy PRA snipers.

Mrakhanjurl also managed to evacuate countless civilians from Republic territory to northern New Kingdom holdings. During the famous ''Rout of the 2nd Battalion'', in which New Kingdom defenders unsuccessfully attempted to prevent Republican forces from capturing Baltor, Mrakhanjurl assumed command of the 4th Company after both its leading officers had been killed by sniper fire. Despite a serious gunshot wound to the leg Mrakhanjurl began shouting orders and rallied the shattered defenders, who were the last line of defense between the advancing Republic forces and thousands of refugees attempting to flee the city. The ''Rally of the 4th Company'' on 2456 successfully managed to delay advancing Republic troops long enough for thousands of more refugees to escape into New Kingdom territory who would otherwise face atrocity.

For his bravery and growing fame (which was now considered too important to risk in the war effort), Mrakhanjurl was given the Order of the Victorious Sun, the highest honor in the New Kingdom, as well as being the first Zhan-Khazan in history to be given the noble rank of Ser. He remains a hero to the Zhan-Khazan and the New Kingdom.

===King of the Mountains Rustam Harmaliik===

Rustam Harmaliik was born in 2427 as the son of a deposed Njarir'Akhran noble family. He spent most of his youth in the rural region of Harr'masir, where he had contact with some groups of Rhazar'Hrujmagh that inhabited the region. As an adult, he found employment in law enforcement and was sent by the People’s Republic to support the efforts to settle the rock nomads of the Harr’masir region in 2448 as a Republican official.

While working alongside the authorities to make sure that the nomadic Zhan would accept and adopt a sedentary lifestyle, Rustam grew more interested in their culture and became skeptical of the Hadii’s regime and how they were treating the Rock Nomads. Unrest among the Rhazar'Hrujmagh soon followed, and Rustam would try to offer his support in any way possible, such as sabotaging equipment shipment or relaying misleading intelligence. The government soon realized his treason, forcing Rustam to abandon his post and escape into the wilderness.

Rustam found shelter among a caravan of the Rhazar'Hrujmagh, and soon adopted their way of life. Unrest and resistance continued among the rock nomads, and Harmaliik joined their struggle against the People’s Republic. With the New Kingdom’s rebellion, the control of the region waned and the Republican efforts shifted to other problems, which allowed the nomad resistance to blossom into guerrilla warfare. Rustam climbed the ranks of his caravan’s forces, winning prestige and favor by leading them against the Republican forces.

The second revolution happened, and the Rhazar'Hrujmagh resistance continued. Rustam assumed the leadership of his adopted caravan and aimed to acquire more support among the other Rock Nomads. Through the years of the conflict, he gathered more men and wagons under his command, through diplomacy or conquest, but limiting himself to defensive tactics, ambushes, and raids. The political stance of Harmaliik has always been one of neutrality in the conflict, never compromising fully with the Adhomai Liberation army, due to his Njarir’Akhran origins and monarchist sentiments, and never declaring any support to the New Kingdom, in fear of losing the trust of his fellow nomads,

Due to a republican offensive against the nomadic guerrillas in 2461, Rustam decided to declare himself the Almalik’Rhazar, a word roughly translated as "leader of the mountains", following an ancient nomadic tradition that allows the largely independent Rock Nomad caravans to elect a ruler among themselves. This decision alienated him from his ALA allies and the other nomads, forcing him to side with the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Harmaliik and his caravans have joined the kingdom war effort. He and his people were later granted the southeast territories of the New Kingdom for their support during the conflict.

===Brother Mikhail Ordau===
Little is known about Mikhail Oradu’s parentage. He was given to the Parivara at a very young age, left on the doorstep of Miran'mir's abbey. Thus the Family took him in as they do many small children, teaching him and educating him about S’rendarr and Messa. Mikhail was an accomplished writer for his age, but a speech impediment left him at a disadvantage when it came to oral presentations. The boy was known to be bookish, and spent much of his free time in the abbey’s library as well as its restricted section, thanks to his close friendship with the abbot.

He had an unusual interest in the sciences for a clergyman. As the Second Revolution loomed ahead, and whispers of splitting from the Republic crept into the local city, he busied himself with reading and tending to the monastery’s garden. Eventually, Miran’mir and all of northern Harr’masir split from the Republic to form the New Kingdom. With the war came plenty of hardship, and the Priests of S’rendarr did their best to help alleviate the tragedy amongst the peasants.

With little farmable land and a severe manpower disadvantage, the New Kingdom struggled to provide for its people. Starvation was a very real threat, and the abbey’s garden was not sufficient. A conflicted Mikhail turned once again to the abbey’s library and science for an answer; and, as though a miracle from the Suns themselves, one came. He discovered an ancient text detailing breeding methods for slaves, from long before the First Revolution. Suggestions on how to pass on desirable traits and mannerisms; to breed subservience. Controversial, but an unknowing descriptor of genetics and hereditary traits.

It was armed with this knowledge that Mikhail set about breeding new plants. Earthen roots, dirt berries, and more were cultivated for generations by Mikhail, aiming to pass on traits like hardiness and vitality. The plants became much more accustomed to growing in harsh conditions thanks to his work, and as the New Kingdom pushed back the Republicans and gained more territory, these hardier plants were easier to grow in the shell-shocked muddy battlefields. The threat of starvation became less and less pressing as more and more farms could deal with the way the war affected the terrain. For his efforts, Brother Mikhail was afforded a personal audience with the King.

===Oleg Al'Mor===
Born Oleg Murkov Al-Al’Mori in 2400, Oleg was a teenager when humanity stumbled upon the Tajara. His simple life of working and indentured servitude was suddenly upended with the influx of new ideals; he and his family, along with a contingent of other refugees of war avoided the conflicts erupting across the planet by staying in the mountains of Northern Harr’masir. To pass the time and keep themselves entertained, the telling of fireside epics became common. Oleg was noted to be imaginative with his tales even then, regaling other Tajara with stories of war and love.

Eventually, however, the nomadic hunter-gatherer life in the mountains could no longer support their numbers, and Oleg’s group descended from their hiding place. By this point, rebel armies had mostly taken hold of Kal’tir and the surrounding areas, giving Oleg relative freedom. When the war finally came to an end in 2432, Oleg was well known as a traveling bard and performer who earned his living using his creative skills entertaining war-weary soldiers and newly freed slaves. The stability that came with the formation of the People’s Republic afforded Oleg the opportunity to settle down in Kal’tir once again, where he took an interest in the local theater scene.

His first play, The Jester’s End, pioneered the form of black comedy and was a throwback to the days of servitude. Over the course of his career in Kal’tir, Oleg penned many more plays under his pseudonym Oleg Al’Mor, out of fear of inviting reprisals from the People’s Republic. Oleg’s plays were often scandalous or controversial for challenging the traditional morality held by Tajara. However, as time went on, his works became formulaic and much less shocking, and thus by extension more palatable to the average Tajara. Black comedy found a good home amongst the countless war veterans of the First Revolution.

Oleg considered himself an intellectual, and when the New Kingdom of Adhomai split from the People’s Republic he was an outspoken supporter. He and his family had experienced the benefits of the old ways, and with his considerable wealth from play royalties, he financed the New Kingdom with donations. Sadly, Oleg Al’Mor passed away in December of 2460 after completing his final work. The play, titled A Maiden’s Voyage, was particularly well-received, with even the King himself getting a private showing. Many of his works are still performed in theaters all over the New Kingdom’s territory.

==Others==

===Father Valyan K'rrirran===

''"From the stars, he saw Adhomai's cities and mountains become nothing more than specks. When he beheld the planet from far away, he realized that it was a small dot within this vast new galaxy. It was then he saw how truly special our homeland and our people are."''

''-Father Valyan K'rrirran, written as the ending to the prologue in his novel "An Introduction to The Twin Suns", 2430.''

Born in 2406 to a family of merchants in Dras’nrra, Valyan chose to join the faith at a young age, and became a fully-fledged Priest of S'rendarr in the midst of the First Revolution. It was during this time that Valyan had also become one of the first few Tajara to leave Adhomai. Settling on Xanu Prime in 2426 and remaining there until the war’s end in 2431, Valyan provided much of the first glimpses into the theology of the Tajara during this time. He, later on, returned home after publishing his novel written in Tau Ceti Basic on the history of the S’rendarr and Messa. Following the Second Revolution, he had replaced Walid Al’qat as The Father of the Parivara after Al’qat died of heart failure. Since gaining his position in 2462 the new Father has already demonstrated to Adhomai that he is able to rise to the task of leading the Parivara. Alongside his archivers, he had revealed misinterpretations in the vows of the Suns Sisters and amended the Vow of Silence to the original Vow of Whispers.

The Father has kept this momentum of progress going forward. In the same year, he began to assist with several archeological digs across Adhomai to gather more information on not just the history of the Suns faith, but also of the Tajara people. Much of this collection is digitalized and shared through a newly developed site (Simply dubbed “Parivara and Tajara History.pra”.) made by an influx of well-educated acolytes. Now, any curious Tajara or alien can find a trove of information on the Parivara and new details on the species’ history. This mix of preserving old traditions alongside progressing aspects of the church has made Valyan popular among the younger generations of Tajara, kindling their interest in the faith.

However, Valyan is not free of controversy. Some conspiracy theorists believe that he could have had a hand in the death of the previous Father, citing the lack of provided medical care and the quick selection of Valyan as the new Father. Others point to his connection to the revitalized Kin of S’rendarr and believe him to be funding the Kin, supplying them with off-world equipment and arms to continue their war against whoever is deemed the faith’s enemy. Nonetheless, these are regarded as little more than baseless rumors by much of the population.

===Rikdar Al'Manq===

Rikdar was born on '''2429''' the noble Njarir’Akhran Bayan line in Nal'Tor, with Bayan being his birth name. However, his parents were disappeared by Republic secret police in one of the frequent purges of Njarir’Akhran and he was put into state-run foster care. He has raised in the ''House Of Young Patriots'' orphanage until he was adopted at 14 to Hharar parents and took their last name of Al'Manq. As he was going to school his parents and teachers immediately took notice of his artistic abilities and interest in painting, which the orphanage had initially tried to discourage. In 2446, when he was 18, Rikdar won an art contest where he submitted a portrait of his Environmental Geology teacher and gained a prestigious scholarship in the Nal'Tor University of The Arts, a state-funded institution.

Rikdar attended the university for several years, though his studies were sometimes interrupted or delayed by the periodic waves of anti-Njarir’Akhran demonstrations and violence that gripped the campus. However, he quickly became a prodigy amongst his peers. Al'Manq's style of oil painting and doing portraits became a sensation in the capital, with the mayor and several city officials requesting their portraits done. Rikdar graduated from university at 20 years old in '''2450''' with a Bachelor of Arts. Having already received several high-profile commissions, including the then-President Al'Mari Hadii, whose portrait was done a week before his death. Al'Manq managed to survive the resulting chaos across Adhomai following the assassination of Al'Mari Hadii by the nature of his celebrity status, but his popularity remains confined within the major cities.

At only 29 years old in '''2458''' the ''Al'Manq Style'' has already become a famous style of painting across Adhomai. The Al'Manq Style is noted for its use of rich oil-based paint that focuses on portraits and profiles. The colors are often bold or show rich texture and color. The hands of Tajara are painted without being anatomically correct. Critics blast Al'Manq's apparent inability to draw hands correctly but Rikdar has stated that it's his personal style. This has influenced other artists, and many attempting to pay homage to Al'Manq draw hands as stubby. Rikdar remains extremely popular on Adhomai. The People's Republic remains a quiet supporter of his work, and state officials pay him handsome commissions for their portraits to be done, though they frown on him taking commissions from New Kingdom officials as well. The Adhomai Liberation Army has painted Rikdar as just another nobleman and several members of the Liberation Army have given open contempt for his work.

===Bloodstorm===

Bloodstorm is a famous and infamous DPRA Heavy Metal Band that has surged in popularity with the younger “denier” generation. Those in this generation are categorized by their refusal of modern Tajara convictions but also human influences, instead of turning to their roots.

====Vargir Stenovich “Godslayer”====

The lead guitarist of the group, Vargir Stenovich is known as the spokesperson of the band and the most controversial figures. Admitting to being a Raskara cultist in public and calling out the Parivara on their “bedding with the government”. Vargir has been involved in numerous scandals including protesting military parades, playing one of his songs next to a work camp without permission, and lastly ingesting drugs on live television and proceeding to slander the ALA for bombing the NKA parliament.
[[File:Al-Atil.png|200px|thumb|right|Photo of Al-Atil at the Mztel'Mir concert, "War Is Fuck, Let's Do It", circa 2459.]]

====Janos Al-Lung “Drowner”====

Janos is the bassist of Bloodstorm and the only band member without a criminal record. He has frequently butted heads with Stenovich over the political extremities the band goes through to discredit not only PRA and NKA but also DPRA.

====Al-Atil Csihar “Nightmaster”====

The vocalist, Al-Atil, is known for his “mrowl”, a high, long, yelp that is recorded as the loudest sound produced by a Tajara. He loves to interact with the public and often stays behind on the podium to sign autographs and fans, the latter of which he uses black spray paint.

====Cecil Kernov “Bloodletter”====

Cecil is the Drummer and has the longest time served behind bars. Kernov has his nickname for a reason as he’s been charged with armed assault. He had brutally assaulted a fan who had climbed on stage with a drum, getting it stuck on said Tajara’s head and pushing him off the stage with a dropkick.

====The Mist “Mih”====

A yet unknown band member by the public, “Mih” remains anonymous always wearing a mask in public and never speaking. He plays the P'rrama, an old Tajara string instrument, with 8 strings mirrored in a long horn-like pipe that extends to the ground which emits a loud, brass twanging noise described as an over-amped guitar.

'''Most Notable Albums Include:'''

The Freezing Blizzard - An early, traditional album, mediocre without the employment of the P'rrama.

War Is Fuck, Let's Do It - The core most popular album drawing similarities between war and love.

If Messa Was Here She'd Be a Whore - First anti-Parivara album created, criticizing their ignorance towards women and discrimination of female priests.

We Live in a Society - WLiaS describes pure hatred of every single faction present not even sparing Sol or Tau Ceti.

Shell In, Spine Out - Another anti-war album, describing the life of a dying soldier.

S'rrendar Loves You Except He Doesn't - Repeated hatred of Parivara, slander, and is famous for having a recording of Cecil attacking a fan with the drum.

If You're Old You Should Die - Scolding critique of the old leading system and a call for the younger generation to disregard the politicians and tear it all down.

[[Tajara|Tajaran]] history and society has a long list of notable individuals and heroes that are known across [[Adhomai]].

==People's Republic==

''"Comrades, in this struggle we fight to protect the progress we have fought so hard to make in the preceding decades. Our march forever onwards for a Hadiist society must not be stopped by the usurpers who would see us become a brutish military dictatorship, nor those fetid imperialists who would restore the atrocities of the old ways."''

''- President Njadrasanukii Hadii, in a televised address to the people in 2452.''
===President Njadrasanukii Hadii===

[[File:Hadii portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A portrait taken of the president taken in 2460.]]
Njadrasanukii Hadii, also known as Malik Hadii, was born in '''2402''' to the noble Njarir'Akhran Hadii line. His mother was Rajjurl Hadii, and his father Tajrhalrr Hadii. He got involved with the military at an early age, becoming a cadet for the Royal Navy at 16 and achieving a commission as a Lieutenant-Commander at 22, and leading his own destroyer as a Captain at 29. During the revolution, he briefly fought for the loyalists but was recalled to the Hadii Citadel to help defend his family's ancestral home. Following the revolution and the Hadii's rise in the new Federal Republic, Njadrasanukii was given the office of Vice-President under his brother Al'Mari Hadii.

Malik assumed the presidency in '''2451''' after the assassination of Al'mari. He continued his brother's early agenda of collaborating with NanoTrasen and other galactic powers. Njadrasanukii purged any suspicious elements from his administration after the Nated's coup, consolidating his power through the imprisonment and execution of anyone that threatened his regime. Further authoritarian measures were established by him; the expansion of the secret police, the rapid industrialization of the PRA, and further persecution against those who did not conform to his policies. Under Malik Hadii's control, the current form of Hadiism took shape; an ideology focused on the creation of a monolithic Tajaran culture under the unquestionable guidance of the Hadii political line. The office of the president had its powers largely expanded under his rule, allowing Njadrasanukii to control all aspects of the People's Republic government. Total loyalty to Njadrasanukii is expected from all Party members.

A state-endorsed cult of personality has been established around President Hadii. Through a robust propaganda system, republican citizens are informed daily about Malik's achievements and how only through his guidance the Republican can prosper. Portraits of President Hadii can be found in most Hadiist homes and government buildings. Njadrasanukii is known for his speeches praising his own administration and the bravery of his people; his voice can be heard frequently on the radio. While many admire him as a strong leader, others fear his ruthless ways of dealing with the opposition.

President Hadii is famous for his extreme paranoia. Very few high-ranking members of the Party have direct access to him and little is known about his private life. He is constantly surrounded by hand-picked members of the secret service; those bodyguards are always under the risk of being purged for any reason. It is rumored that he has survived more than three hundred assassination attempts.

Despite the outcome of the Second revolution, Njadrasanukii continues to rule the People's Republic with an iron grip. He did not give up his plans of reestablishing Hadiist hegemony over Adhomai.

===Headmaster Harrrdanim Tyr'adrr===

Harrrdanim was born in '''2425''' to a M'sai family serving the Hadii during the First Revolution. Wishing to follow in the footsteps of his parents, he joined the Hadiist Party at a young age. He soon caught the attention of the People's Strategic Intelligence Service due to his craftiness and was given a position in the agency. Despite enjoying moderate success during the late years of Al’mari’s rule, Tyr'adrr rose to prominence after the President’s assassination. Leading several purges within the secret service, he was able to secure a promotion as the Headmaster after the previous head was arrested for suspicious behavior. Under Tyr’addr’s control, the PSIS became the feared terror machine it is today. Heavy investments in surveillance technology, the establishment of a robust web of informants, and the large-scale repression of political opponents greatly weakened the opposition in the People’s Republic. His supposed adventures during this period have spawned an entire "spy thriller" genre in the Republic.

After helping secure President Hadii's rule, Headmaster Harrdanim focused his efforts on fighting the Liberation Army and the New Kingdom. Ruthless anti-partisan campaigns were carried out under his supervision. The displacement of Chaniska’s native population, scorched-earth tactics in Northern Ras'nrr, and the creation of Try'urma Penitentiary were among some of his orders during the conflict. His actions during the Second Revolution earned him the reputation of being merciless and bloodthirsty. In spite of several assassination attempts, ALA agents failed to murder him and he continued his reign of terror unimposed.

Even after the Armistice, Headmaster Harrdanim continues to work tirelessly to undermine the enemies of the Republic. He has a large interest in securing the Tajara population living outside of Adhomai and is responsible for the PSIS presence in District Six. He is eager to suggest more authoritarian solutions and believes in increasing, even more, the state’s control over the population. Because of the role of the Strategic Service in the government, Tyr'adrr is one of the most powerful and hated Tajara in the People's Republic. While seemingly loyal to President Hadii, many in the Party fear where Tyr'adrr's ambition might lead him.

===Party Secretary Yakiv Hadii===

Yakiv Hadii was born in '''2412''' as the second cousin to President Hadii. While too young to take part in the First Revolution, Yakiv joined the Hadiist Party as soon as he could. During Njadrasanukii’s rule, he excelled as a bureaucrat due to his organizational skills. He managed the distribution of land and the establishment of communal farms during the Republican Agrarian reforms. Through a combination of political maneuvers and nepotism, he quickly climbed the Party's ranks. Yakiv sought to further the Republican relationship with NanoTrasen, seeking their support for the development of Adhomai. This stance caused him to lose Al’mari’s favor during the years leading to the Second Revolution. He was then demoted to an unimportant position in the Ministry of Agriculture.

Yakiv returned to prominence after Rhagrrhuzau’s assassination; he was seen as a way to link Malik’s rule to his now-deceased brother. Following the abolishment of the office of vice-president, Yakiv was promoted as the Party Secretary by Njadrasanukii. He became responsible for the internal organization and reviewing applications to the Party; he was quick to remove many of his political opponents from power using his new powers. Known as unquestionably loyal to President Hadii, he became infamous for being nothing but a yes man. He continued his policy of maintaining good relations with megacorporations, lobbying for more deals with NanoTrasen. Countless Tajara were given the opportunity to leave Adhomai due to his efforts, most sold as cheap labor while some others were able to acquire higher education. During the final stages of the war, he was one of the main proponents of the need for foreign intervention to save the People's Republic.

After the Armistice, Yakiv remained as Party Secretary. He is one of the closest advisors to President Hadii, helping Malik in matters related to internal and external affairs. Despite being an orthodox Hadiist, he is eager to push for changes to appease NanoTrasen and other foreign powers in an attempt to gain their support. Many within the Party see Yakiv as a power-hungry and untrustworthy politician, eager to abuse his power to reach what he wants. Others recognize him as a cunning politician with a rather dangerous influence over President Hadii.

===Minister of Defense Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar===

Irbaykhan Mirarkiizar was born into a Hharar peasant family in '''2428'''. He was raised around veterans of the first revolution and was always interested in their stories. Owing to the new opportunities brought by the People’s Republic, Irbaykhan enrolled in a military academy and joined the Grand People's Army as an officer. He survived the purges of the early Hadiist government because of his political reliability; as he was one of the first army leaders to support President Hadii during his ascension. This left him in the privileged situation of being one of the few properly trained officers at the dawn of the Nated’s coup.

Irbaykhan quickly climbed the ranks of the Republican Army during the Second Revolution. Making extensive use of artillery and motorized troops, he secured early victories that gave much-needed breathing room to the fragile Republic. While in command of the Dymtris Front in '''2456''', he pushed the New Kingdom into the defensive position that they would remain in until the very end of the war. Mirarkiizar’s final promotion during the conflict was to the theater commander of the Rass’nrr Military District. With the help of the alien allies of the Republic, he managed to recapture the main region of the continent. He was given a seat in the Ministry of Defense after the Armistice, working alongside the upper echelons of the Party to refine the Republic’s strategy.

Unlike most members of the Ministry of Defense, Irbaykhan has both political connections and practical experience in the field. This combination has made him one of President Hadii’s closest advisors in regard to military matters. Currently, he is responsible for the Hro'zamal campaign. Mirarkiizar sees the Grand People's Army as an essential component of the Hadiist state; the ever-vigilant guardian of the Republic against its enemies. The Minister believes that strict discipline and union towards a common goal is the best way to safeguard the future of the People’s Republic.

===Minister of Technology Zhuldyz Hadii===

Born in '''2420''' to the Hadii dynasty, Zhuldyz enjoyed the many privileges granted to her family. She grew up fascinated by the new technologies brought by human contact; she would spend hours tinkering and dismantling electronics during her childhood. Later she was sent to study in prestigious Solarian universities, where she ventured into the field of robotics. Zhuldyz returned to Adhomai in 2449 and was granted a post in the Ministry of Technology.

Using the knowledge acquired off-world, Zhuldyz drew plans with the objective of modernizing the Republic through a technological revolution. The rapid industrialization aided by mechatronics would bring prosperity to the Tajara. While many of her initial projects were abruptly interrupted by Rhagrrhuzau's assassination, she remained in her position due to being a member of the Hadii dynasty. The unstable early years of Njadrasanukii’s presidency were unfavorable towards her dreams; stopping Nated’s coup and the Royalist uprising were top priorities at the time. However, as the frontlines stagnated and a semblance of normalcy returned to the People’s Republic, Zhuldyz had the chance to convince President Hadii of her plans. Knowing that losing the war would put an end to her pursuits, she turned her genius to the military field. Victory could be achieved through technological superiority. She was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Hadii Institute of Orbital Research|Hadii Institute of Orbital Research]], the expansion of the [[Tajara_Space_Capability#PRA_Army_Wing|Orbital Fleet]], and the creation of the Tesla Brigade. Zhuldyz was promoted to the office of the Minister of Technology shortly before the Armistice.

The Adhomian Cold War became the perfect testing ground for Zhuldyz's projects. She sees the period of peace as an opportunity to turn the People's Republic into a technological powerhouse. Zhuldyz believes that the future of Hadiism lies in science and that the Republic must become advanced enough to subjugate its enemies. Minister Hadii is not interested in ethical or safe research; she is eager to pursue dangerous and questionable experiments. No price is too small to pay during the march of progress. President Hadii gave Zhuldyz near uncontested authority to lead the Ministry of Technology. She was the mind behind the creation of the first independent robotic factory on Adhomai.

===Secretary of the Navy Hura'zhi Mira'zkui===

Born in '''2422''' to an exiled line of minor nobility from the Zatushka Kingdom, Mira’zkui grew up in the chaos of the First Revolution as the armies of the Hadiist rebels marched across Adhomai. When the dust had settled, despite his personal wishes to enter the party itself, his family would convince him to uphold their old traditions and join the forming Republican Navy in '''2447'''. It was then that Mira’zkui met Dynhaas and joined the Oceanmasters Lounge.

During the chaos of Dynhaas’ defection in '''2450''', Mira’zkui narrowly avoided his own death. Informed early by a loyal lieutenant that his own crew was plotting to kill him, Mira’zkui fled in a lifeboat and watched as his fellow officers were thrown screaming from the decks of their own ships. A few days later, he was found on the shores of Ras’nrr. As the Republic fell into chaos, Mira’zkui returned to the Republican Navy as Secretary, entrusted by Malik Hadii to fight against the pirate flotillas of the ALA and the Royal Navy. However, Mira’zkui’s loyalty was not able to make up for his inexperience. While the last of the Liberation Army’s pirate vessels were sunk, he was unable to contend with the strength of the Royal Navy and unable to achieve his personal desire: Capturing or killing Dynhaas.

Post-War, Mira’zkui has largely become reclusive and withdrawn from the public eye. While he continues to try and develop the Republican navy, Mira’zkui is forced to contend with funding going towards the projects of the Orbital Navy and Grand People’s Army. With a relationship of mutual dislike between himself and Zhuldyz Hadii, many within the party believe that Mira’zkui will likely be replaced eventually. How he would react to being denied any chance for revenge against Dynhaas is something no one knows.

===Chief Naval Commander Samirro Qarrarhaz===

Born in Northern Ras’nrr in '''2407''', Samirro was the son of a loyal M'sai general in the Hadii Hegemony. Qarrarhaz's family raised and taught him to follow in his father’s footsteps. He would become an artillery officer in '''2428''', finding great success during combat against monarchist groups through using extensive shelling to force and flush out the enemy. By '''2431''' Qarrarhaz was moved into Southern Harr’masir to prepare for an invasion of the Kingdom of Kaltir. His artillery crews were among those who scoured the Kingdom following its surrender, shelling whatever villas, castles, and manors they had found. A staunch ally of Al’mari Hadii and his family, Qarrarhaz has always stood by the Hadii family and the republic they had later built.

While also providing training for future artillery commanders in the interwar period, Qarrarhaz became part of a committee formed by President Al’mari Hadii to plan and prepare a space fleet for the PRA. He, along with other committee members, traveled to the Coalition of Colonies' planets of Xanu Prime and Himeo to observe anti-piracy operations in order to better develop the PRA’s own future space warfare doctrine in '''2452'''. When the Orbital Fleet was completed by '''2457''', Qarrarhaz was appointed Chief Naval Commander by President Malik Hadii. Since then, he has won numerous victories against piracy, smugglers, and even bested a [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/?do=findComment&comment=114422 Sol cruiser].

Post-war, Qarrarhaz continues to lead his spaceships and Kosmostrelki in the defense of the PRA’s claimed space. Comfortable and experienced in his position, Qarrarhaz has begun to speak more on the future of the PRA’s ventures into space. Controversially, the Commander has stated that the PRA must eventually extend its hand to the numerous small colonies and off-worlder communities dotting the frontier around them. Arguing that Hadiism’s light must be spread beyond Tajara, it is his belief that the PRA must one day uplift these groups from their poverty and absorb them into the state.

===Minister of Education Kalim Khazdar===

Kalim Khazdar was born in '''2430''' to a family of Hharar foremen in the city of Tampiska. Deemed a bright child by his teachers, he was sent to study in Al'marii. Captivated by the tales of progress and prosperity brought by the interwar period, Kalim enrolled at the Al'marii College of Hadiist Sciences. He continued his studies intending to become a college teacher. During his time as a student, he became a good friend and protégé of the rector of the university, Mahir Hadii. His friendship with a member of the political dynasty opened many doors for him.

Kalim joined the Hadiist party during the Second Revolution. He later visited Tau Ceti to study the Adhomian community there; his experiences in District Six deeply affected his ideas. He saw all the social problems that those who lived under the megacorporation rule were subject to. Instead of losing faith in Hadiism, he started to believe that reforms were necessary to save the People's Republic; NanoTrasen should be a means to an end, not the end itself. Kalim returned to Adhomai in 2459 and became a college professor. Thanks to his connections, he soon got involved with the administration and politics of the university. His papers on the subject of Hadiist education were generally well-received by the academia.

With the Armistice of Shastar, Kalim Khazdar aligned himself to the Young Hadiist faction; his sympathy towards the movement was largely unknown to the Party. His ascension to the position of Minister of Education in 2463 was the result of a confidential deal between his mentor and President Hadii. Despite being considered a powerless and inexperienced politician by the other members of the Hadiist cabinet, Kalim is not to be underestimated. Cunning will be necessary to avoid the wrath of President Hadii and his lackeys. The path to a truly free People's Republic will be a long and difficult one.

===Yasmin Piaf===

[[File:Yasminp.jpg|150px|thumb|right|A photograph of Yasmin Piaf handed out at a concert, 2459.]]
Yasmina Burokov, aka Yasmin Piaf, was born in 2434 in the suburbs of Nal'tor to a particularly well-off Njarir'Akhran family. Yasmin's father, Boris Burokov was a low-ranking State department official and devout loyalist of the People's Republic. She spent her childhood being educated in the best State-run schools their family could afford and enjoyed relative wealth and prosperity far from the poorer outskirts of the city.

Even from a young age, Yasmin was interested in music. She was part of her school's choir and participated in several nationwide contests for the honor of singing for President Rhagrrhuzau Hadii. The all-female 'Band of Njarir Maidens' consisting of Yasmin and her classmates eventually won and sang for the President and other members of his cabinet at the end of the annual military parade held in Nal'tor. Eventually, she graduated and went on to the Academy of Musical Arts with a full scholarship.

Talent scouts pruning the burgeoning academy's student pool for the next starlet eventually discovered Yasmin during rehearsals for the school's upcoming musical, and she signed a tentative deal with the small publication Vostak Recordings. Her first record, simply titled The Man in Rouge, was released with minimal fanfare. Given that she had sung a small solo during her performance for the President, some Tajara recalled her name.

Yet her voice, described by some as angelic and innocent, found purchase with an aging generation of Tajara who wished a brief return to peaceful normalcy following the First Revolution. Her dedication to the traditional pop standard and recognition for torch songs eventually elevated her to the status of a household name, with her recording label releasing hit after hit. As a result, Yasmin Piaf has become one of the most famous singers in the modern era - one who has fostered a close relationship with State officials. She is one of the few artists who are approved to be played on State radio KGTW-11.

===Andrey Borisov===

Out of all the Tajara that one could argue embody loyalty to the People’s Republic, perhaps none are more memorable than Andrey Alexander Borisov. In the average Republican household, his name is just as common as President Hadii’s, owing to the fact that he is the face of State propaganda and news network RAFИ. Born in 2416 to a line of M’sai warriors, Andrey was not even two years old before humanity stumbled across Adhomai and lit the flame that ignited the First Revolution.

Andrey’s father and uncle were killed in the uprising, leaving him, his mother, and his sister alone to fend for themselves. His mother curried favor with the local rebel leader when their town fell to the onslaught of war; she became his concubine and, later, his wife. The ever-advancing front saw Andrey moved from home to home, where the young M’sai would often spend time talking to soldiers recovering after harsh fighting. They nourished a sense of patriotism in him, and eventually, he came to see the First Revolution as necessary for the future of the Tajara.

The war ended in 2432, when he was merely 16 years old. As the newly founded People’s Republic began the arduous transition from a movement to a government, Andrey’s connections with the upper echelon of PRA politicians bore fruit. He was taken on as a member of an officer’s general staff, headquartered in Nal’Tor, where he served as little more than a glorified secretary. His position put him in contact with the elite, however, and many found him charming and personable. His silver tongue earned him the interest of Dmitrys Marakov, the owner of the only State-approved television station at that point in time.

His ascension from lowly secretary to the major news anchor for RAFИ was one that involved plenty of political maneuvering, money - and, rumored by some, violence - but ultimately Andrey had proved his loyalty to the political elite of the People's Republic and he was rewarded with the honor of being their mouthpiece. As a result, no Tajara on Adhomai can go very long without seeing his smiling face on their television set, spinning the next story or cover-up at the behest of the State.

==Democratic People's Republic==

''"We are soldiers. We are fighters. We are war. We have forsaken the corrupt and decaying corpse of the xeno-loving People's Republic. We have left our homes and our families, but our cause is righteous. The suns are with us! The vile usurper of my friend and comrade Al'mari will have justice delivered to him! We will spill the blood of our enemies until our struggles are seen and heard, and we WILL retake OUR Republic!"

''- Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan, the day after the coup de tat began, 2451.''

===Supreme Commander Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan===
[[File:Nateed portrait.png|200px|thumb|right|A surprise picture of Nated, taken in 2458.]]
Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan was born in '''2404''' to a M'sai family under the service of the Hadii Dynasty. The son of a royal guard, Nated interacted with many Njarir children in his early life. He grew to resent their narcissism but was prepared to inherit his duty nonetheless. When the First Revolution ignited in '''2421''', Halkiikijr fought for the loyalists alongside the Hadii family. Becoming a battle-brother of Rhagrrhuzau Hadii, or better known as Al'Mari Hadii, Nated stood with the Hadii’s decision to abandon their royal roots and join the revolutionaries. When the war ended Al'Mari was sworn into office, Halkiikijr was made a Commander in Chief of the Republican Army in return for his service.

Al'Mari supposedly made promises of swearing-in Halkiikijr as the next president of the People's Republic once the political climate on Adhomai had stabilized. The legitimacy of this claim is not known, but what is known is that Al'Mari was assassinated during a military parade in '''2451''' and Njadrasanukii Hadii, vice president of the People's Republic, swore himself in as the successor of the presidency. Outraged at the assassination and accusing Njadrasanukii of treachery against the People’s Republic, Nated organized a coup against Malik. Bringing together military commanders dissatisfied with the new Hadiist policies, Halkiikijr created the Adhomai Liberation Army to dethrone the new President. He then took the title of Supreme Commander.

As the putsch attempt was thwarted by the Hadiist forces, Nated fled to Shastar City. The coup then turned into a full-blown civil war between the Liberation Army and the People’s Republic. Without off-world help, Nated called to arms anyone willing to support his cause. His movement became a unifying front to all kinds of elements opposing President Hadii; from democratic reformers to extremists fighting to free Adhomai from alien influence. For a decade, Halkiikijr led the Liberation Army as an effective opposing force against the People’s Republic and the New Kingdom. He favored the extensive use of irregular warfare coupled with the deployment of the army to secure decisive battles. A cult of personality formed around Halkiikijr; extremists claimed that he was a prophet sent by the Gods. The Supreme Commander took advantage of this belief to cultivate undying loyalty and fanaticism among his followers.

Believing that the territories under his control were ready for a democracy modeled after the Al'mariist principles, Nated's undisputed rule came to an end with the creation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai. Halkiikijr retired from his position as Supreme Commander to prevent a coup against the newly elected president. His retirement did not last long; he returned to power because of the Amohdan crisis in '''2462'''. Nated was given back the control of the Liberation Army and its remaining juntas to retake the Island of Amohda. After this display of weakness, Halkiikijr is unsure if the DPRA is truly ready to rule Adhomai. For him, the ALA is now more essential than before. Nated also faces infighting between his two right-hand men; commander Kahan and Kyff.

===Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad===

Kahan Hro'rammhad was born in '''2412''' to a Hharar family as their oldest children. A peasant from birth in the region of Southern Harr'masir, he was taught the traditional values of S'rendarr and Messa by his deeply religious parents. His childhood was cut short by the outbreak of the First Revolution; his family was expelled from their lands by the war. Thanks to its flat terrain, Southern Harr’masir saw the first deployment of armored vehicles in the conflict; trains, civilian cars, and trucks were outfitted for warfare by the rebels. Hro’rammhad joined the crew of an armored car as soon he turned 14 years old. Because of the high mortality among the revolutionaries, Kahan quickly found himself in the command of his own brigade. He became famous for his excellent use of the vehicles’ speed to encircle the enemy, and for his merciful nature. Monarchists soldiers were always given the chance of joining his side after capture. Hro’rammhad also forbade unnecessary executions and mistreatment of prisoners among his fighters.

Commander Kahan and his brigade were incorporated into the Hadiist faction shortly before the end of the First Revolution. As a member of the Republican Army, he was a major proponent of the transformation of the People’s Army into a motorized force. Tank brigades and motostrelki units were created under his supervision. Kahan funded the reconstruction of many temples destroyed during the revolution and frequently donated to charity through the interwar period. Hro’rammhad joined Nated’s coup due to his profound disagreement with Malik’s policies; he saw the oppression of the Zhan-Khazan as morally corrupt. Armored units that defected alongside him were organized into the Hro'rammhad Tank Corps under his command.

Hro'rammhad remained a merciful and pious Tajara through the Second Revolution. He rejected the notion of irregular warfare and continued to offer mercy to his enemies. As the leader of the main armored force in the Liberation Army, Kahan played an important role in decisive battles. This position allowed him to become a right-hand man for Nated. As part of his religiousness, Hro'rammhad considered the conflict to be a battle to protect the faith against the innate atheism of Hadiism. Religious imagery and motifs became common among his Tajara. The men under Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad are known to have the utmost respect for his bravery and mercy, most even going so far as to worship him as an embodiment of S'rendarr's justice. His success during the civil war earned him the nickname of “Undefeated Commander''.

Despite the armistice, Commander Kahan remains as one of the second-in-command for Halkiikijr. He is an avid supporter of the transition to democracy, advocating for the dismantlement of the juntas. This position earned him many enemies among the more authoritarian elements within the Liberation Army. He is known to despise Commander Kyff Hotak for his tactics and personality. Both Tajara are currently engaged in an internal struggle to consolidate their influence over the Liberation Army.

===Commander Kyff Hotak===

Born in the year '''2406''' to a family of Zhan-Khazan miners in the Trizar, Kyff Hotak was supposedly destined to slave away for his Njarir master as his ancestors did for many generations. To avoid this fate, Hotak fled his home as a young Tajara. He ran into the wilderness until he found a bandit camp. Because of his age, the brigands decided to adopt Kyff as the group’s mascot. The boy grew up witnessing all kinds of crime and violence; later taking part in the band’s activity when old enough. The bandits sided with the rebels during the First Revolution in search of plunder. But their greed was their undoing; the criminals were massacred by the revolutionaries after they were discovered stealing rations. Hotak survived by being the one to report the activities of his previous comrades. As the war dragged on, Kyff became more bold and cruel in his revolutionary activities. He frequently engaged in assassinations, massacres, and false flag operations to crush the monarchists’ morale. Hotak was soon feared by his comrades and hated by his enemies. To him, everything was permissible to achieve victory. Impressed by the victories of the Hadii faction, he joined them as part of the early Ha'narr Corps.

The interwar period was fairly unremarkable for Kyff Hotak; he was given a low-ranking office position in the intelligence department. While Hotak advocated for the recreation of a force similar to the Mountain Ghost Corps, his request was ignored by the Hadiist high command. Memories of his excess in the First Revolution stopped Hotak from receiving any further promotions. He grew discontent with the People’s Republic, believing that he deserved more for his service. Seeing Nated's coup as an opportunity to rise to power, Kyff defected to the Liberation Army without hesitation.

Hotak organized his own unit of commando early into the war; a battalion trained in stealth operations. As a major proponent of irregular warfare, he also helped organize guerilla cells and coordinate terrorist attacks. The success of these groups granted him enough influence to become one of Nated's right-hand men. However, Commander Kyff quickly returned to his old ways; he started to wage a campaign of unrestrained terror. The presence of his soldiers became a harbinger of indiscriminate persecution, murder, excessive property requisition, and collective punishment against any community suspected of working with the enemy. Despite the protest of the civilian population and Commander Kahan, Halkiikijr refused to replace Kyff. Taking advantage of his reputation, Hotak ordered his Tajara to spread stories of him being the earthly manifestation of Messa's wrath. This tactic proved to be effective both among his enemies and allies.

Commander Kyff Hotak remains in service even after the armistice. Many within the army and the civilian administration desire to see Hotak punished for his war crimes, but Supreme Commander Nated continues to protect him. Kyff is a hardline supporter of the more authoritarian elements in the government and desires a strong centralized leadership above all else. He and Commander Hro'rammhad are rivals; both Tajara commonly fight each other over which direction the Liberation Army should go. Hotak is always accompanied by his pet [[Adhomai#Farwa (Tree-Hopper)|Farwa]], Ghiyath.

===President Almrah Harrlala===

President Almrah Harrlala was born in '''2426''' to a family of Hharar factory workers in Shastar City. While her childhood was relatively unaffected by the First Revolution, she enjoyed many of the benefits brought by the People’s Republic during the interwar period. Being the first member of her household to receive a proper education, she became involved in the Party’s politics at a considerable young age. She believed that a stable democracy built upon the will of the people was the best path for Adhomai. She was also wary of the presence of megacorporations on the planet, considering their activities as harmful to the development of the Tajara species She campaigned for more worker’s rights and laws restricting corporation’s activities in the PRA. Almrah held a position within the Party until the ascension of President Njadrasanukii Hadii; he ordered the arrest of Harrlala due to her views.

Harrlala was held prisoner in Shastar during the first moments of the Civil war, only the capture of the city by the Liberation Army saved her from being transferred to another location. Hoping to continue her career in politics, she aligned herself with the rebels. Even if the despotic and extremist tendencies of the ALA worried Almrah, she held to Nated's promise of saving the Republic. She was given the position of Provisional Minister of Civil Rights when the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai was established.

As the Minister of Civil Rights, Almrah worked to protect the regional identities present in the DPRA. Her campaign to end military rule over the country while still upholding the principles of Al’mariism made her a popular figure among the moderate sectors of the population. Seeking to expand her political influence, she founded the National Adhomai Worker's Party. She was one of the candidates in the presidential elections of '''2460'''; she won the office of president by a narrow margin. President Harrlala’s ascension to power displeased the authoritarian wing of the Liberation Army, the military then planned a coup to restore their own rule. The putsch was stopped by the intervention of Supreme Commander Nated, who later resigned from his position to grant more powers to the civilian administration.

Following the Armistice, President Almrah Harrlala continued with her internal policies while maintaining a strong stance against foreign dominance. Under her rule, schools to preserve local cultures and languages were established, Gakal’zaal was liberated from the Unathi rule, and the DPRA developed its nuclear program. Her status as one of the first female rulers in modern Tajaran history has inspired many women to engage in DPRA politics. However, her regime is plagued with deep issues. The ghost of separatism lingers over the nation after the Amohdan attempt to secede. Her ability to reconcile the various factions in the government was severely doubted when she failed to draw a plan to handle the rebellious island. Since the return of Halkiikijr to power, the authoritarian elements see this as a moment of weakness in the young Republic. President Harrlala must be ready to face further opposition if she wants to see her vision of Adhomai come to life.

===Ex-interim President Brajrr Alnadruskiy===

Born in '''2423''' in the city of Mztel’mir, Brajjr Alnadruskiy was the youngest child of a family of brewers. He later joined the Republican Army at 17 years old, slowly climbed the ranks through diligent service to the military. Brajrr attributed the prosperity of interwar Adhomai to the strong leadership of President Al’mari; he believed that the Republic always needed a strongman in control to succeed. He severely doubted Malik’s competence because of his decision to undo his brother’s reform.

Brajrr finally rose to prominence with Nated's coup. Upon hearing of the revolution, he rallied the Liberation Army’s aligned troops in Das’nrra to assault Shastar. Alnadruskiy's attack was successful and he was named the Rrhaza-Akhran of the city. Shastar became the headquarter of the ALA, giving Brajrr a reasonable amount of influence within the army high command. He was known for his rigorous discipline and unforgiving nature. Many war prisoners were forced into labor by his orders. Brajrr was given the position of Interim President when the Democratic People’s Republic was created.

Alnadruskiy ran for president in the 2460 elections, seeking to centralize the nation and maintain the Army’s sway over the government. He founded the Free Tajaran People’s Party, gathering the most authoritarian elements in the Republic. After Almrah Harrlala’s victory by a narrow margin, he took part in the putsch against the newly elected president. Despite the defeat of the mutiny, Brajrr managed to convince Halkiikijr that he was forced by the extremists to join them. He was released and allowed to return to politics.

Ex-interim President Brajjr Alnadruskiy now leads the opposition to Harrlala’s regime. He continues to support a centralized state under the leadership of Supreme Commander Nated. Even when the successes of the current administration displease him, their latest crisis has given him enough to challenge Almrah. The return of Halkiikijr to the control of the Army is also considered a victory for him and his followers. Alnadruskiy awaits for the right moment of weakness to retake control of the DPRA.

===Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar===

The first and thus far only incident of weapons of mass destruction being employed on Adhomai happened in 2458, when the People’s Republic dropped a four-megaton nuclear bomb on the Liberation Army base in Quizosa. The death toll from the detonation was staggering, but the fallout from the bomb was carried on strong winds, leading to severe cases of radiation poisoning from the neighboring camps.

Tajara medical experience with radiation poisoning and the effects of nuclear bombs were practically non-existent. The only species in the galaxy that had the technology long before the Tajara were Xenos, and the Liberation Army did not have the luxury of free contact with extraplanetary forces. With the sick and dying mounting, a call for help was sent out to the surrounding territories. Many physicians and doctors made the long and difficult journey in the winter snows to help - at the forefront of them, Dr. Aleksandra Hro’makar.

The effects of the bomb were catastrophic. Survivors were badly burned. Their fur fell out, never to grow back again - leaving them susceptible to Adhomai’s frigid temperatures. Their skin peeled off in sickly ribbons, hanging limply to the ground. Doctors were at a loss, with only a rudimentary understanding of what could have happened. Dr. Aleksandra took a sort of unofficial command of the medical effort, and coordinated efforts to assist the sick and dying.

Liberation-sympathetic Tajara, at her prodding, recovered as many documents as they could regarding the atom bomb from PRA-aligned holdings, downloading information from the extranet and thieving textbooks from high-security locations. Thanks to her ingenuity and leadership, the haphazard medical team of doctors saved a great many innocents from a slow, painful death - though they would have to live with the effects of the bomb for the rest of their lives. Dr. Aleksandra is widely known for her opposition to nuclear proliferation, due to her experiences, and has become the face of a growing anti-WMD movement across Ras’narr.

===Arzjun Haurjuhrl===

Rumors persist that Arzjun Haurjuhrl was sired out of wedlock, a result of an affair between a Zhan-Khazan mistress and a rebel leader. He was born in '''2427''' in the warmer regions near the city of Olska, and lived alone with his mother. He was scarcely a child when the war ended and the People’s Republic came to prominence. Both he and his mother suffered much in the way of discrimination - for being Zhan-Khazan as well as having a bastard child. This disconnect between what the People’s Republic promised and the way they were treated caused the young Arzjun to become disillusioned with the Republic.

He was further tested when his mother suddenly fell ill and died in the winter of 2445. With nothing left tying him down, abandoned as he had been by Adhomain society, he took what little funds they had been saving and paid a smuggler to carry him off-world. It took every penny but eventually, he found himself in Mendell City, carrying nothing but the clothes on his back. For a time, he lived on the streets, forced to beg to make ends meet. He soon found work at one of the shelters he had often stayed at. The community of Little Adhomai was more welcoming to him than the homeworld had been.

Deciding to pay back the kindness he received, he took part in many community outreach programs, including plays and dramas for the children of Little Adhomai. His passion for the arts as a medium of expression took root here, and his name rose to some prominence amongst the local Tajara population thanks to his charity work. He aspired to work on his own big picture and got his chance thanks to the collective donations of many Tajara. Wealthy Xenos also had an interest in seeing what the immigrant could do, though perhaps a few thought it would look good as a public relations move.

The script he wrote went through many revisions and sat for a good while before it was picked up by a studio. The community who had helped him before had done it once again; the surprise blockbuster When Summer Came to Nazira was one of the top ten highest-grossing films in Biesel history. Its anti-tyranny message was seen by some as an expression of the director’s own viewpoint on the People’s Republic. In some ways, they were correct - Arzjun is a quiet supporter of the DPRA, which has put him at odds with the Republican government. As a result, his film is banned from showing on Adhomai - though this has not stopped smuggled copies from being distributed amongst DPRA theaters.

==New Kingdom==

''"Loyal subjects, countrymen, brothers. It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that we must conscript from the provinces in order to maintain our fight in this war. However, you are not alone. Even as the new compulsory service legislature is passed, the aristocrats across the kingdom are likewise mobilized under a new service gentry system, so that all of the Kingdom is together in this struggle."''

''- King Vahzirathaamro Azunja, announcing the beginning of conscription and formalization of the service gentry in 2453.''

=== King Vahzirthaamro Azunja===

King Azunja was born in 2400 in the city of Kaltir to the noble Njarir’Akhran Azunja line. His father was Farkhanzirhal and his mother Dramahdarmah. Located in the far reaches of Kaltir, the Azunja family line was one of compassion and fair treatment, as only in unity and brotherhood could they hope to survive the harsh far reaches of Northern Adhomai. Their peasants were kept well and treated with dignity, and the nobles, while privileged, never indulged in cruelty. A noble paige since the age of 10, Vahzirthaamro excelled in reading and writing from an early age. He prepared to inherit the family throne as the sole son of his parents until the first civil war of Adhomai ignited in 2421.

When war broke out between the nobility and peasants, house Azunja was hesitant to pick sides, as they disagreed with the morals of both sides. Their distant position in the wild made them capable of ignoring the war until its end, as the Hadii family was placed at the head of Adhomai in 2432. Carrying the flags of the newly founded People's Republic of Adhomai, the Republic's army demanded the surrender of all nobility in Kaltir. The entire populace requested to be left in peace, as the peasantry and nobility there had never declared war on one another. Believing the peasants were utterly spineless and brainwashed, the People's Republic executed all current nobles ruthlessly, scattering the royalty of the region. Vahzirthaamro was placed in prison by his father's retinue of intellectuals, who declared he had to remain hidden amongst the lowest of the low if he wished to stay alive. From that moment on, Vahzirthaamro Azunja knew that peace was impossible so long as a compromise was not made, and a true constitutional monarchy was made the unanimous government on Adhomai.

Word passed amongst the Tajara at the work camps about the possibility that Vahzirthaamro still lived as many pre-war intellectuals gathered with him in private. They spun every possibility of a government, even discussing adopting human political systems as they gathered workers, fighters, poets, and philosophers to form an organized nation as they spread their ideas to the guards of the facility, a majority of which who were old peasants under the Azunja family who thought the entirety of the nobility had been executed. Delighted to see his return, they joined his side and swore allegiance to his family once more.

In 2449, in the middle of the night, Vahzirthaamro was released in secret along with the entirety of his retinue, as they quickly spread from town to town, asking for assistance from newly appointed officials and workers. Before long, the reminiscent families of the Kaltir region were happy to rejoin their flock. By 2450 his claim to rule had spread to all of Northern Harr'masir, and the New Kingdom of Adhomai officially seceded as an independent nation under the newly declared King Vahzirthaamro Azunja. He then led the Kingdom for the next decade, managing the balance between the different factions within the government and the ongoing war. Vahzirthaamro became a unifying figure for the population. After successfully securing Kaltir's ancient lands and negotiating the armistice that brought the end to the war, King Vahzirthaamro passed away in 2463. His niece, Shumaila Azunja, inherited his throne.

===Queen Shumaila Azunja===

[[File:Shumaila portrait.png|200px|thumb|right| A portrait done of Queen Shumaila Azunja, holding the ceremonial orr'bu s'rrendar, circa 2460.]]
Shumaila Azunja was born in 2431 in Northern Harr’smirr, as the daughter of one of the kingdom’s princes. She survived the Republican slaughter by being hidden away among the peasantry, raised in secret by individuals still loyal to the old ruling dynasty. From a young age, Shumaila began to participate in secretive royalist circles within Kaltir. Here, she began her service to the kingdom by helping distribute leaflets proclaiming the coming of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. When the uprising broke out in 2450, she joined the new Imperial Adhomian Army. Shumaila then rose through the officer ranks quickly, becoming a commander in the Jabrut Almumalik and establishing a name for herself on the front.

Many of those who served under Shumaila describe her as being a woman of unbreakable will, never faltering as casualties stacked or as barrages shattered the ground around her. Some even say she wouldn’t even blink at the sight of the PRA’s dreaded tanks rolling towards the lines. For her exploits in the war’s 2459 offensive and the defense of the Vlrralkhzazhul line, Shumaila came to be known as “The Storm of Harr’smir”, matching her iron will with a burning fury to destroy the kingdom’s enemies.

In 2460, after meeting with several prospective heirs, King Vahzirthaamro had chosen his niece Shumaila to serve as the Crown Heir. Although the majority supported this decision alongside most of Parliament and the nobility, a large fraction remained wary of the decision of a military leader over other options. However, this opposition has shrunk over the past few years. Shumaila remains strong on her position of expanding the military, but she has also spoken about increasing ties to the galaxy’s Megacorporations to modernize the New Kingdom. Nor has she made any comments regarding changing the democratic systems of Parliament and the Chamber. Coupled with her public appearances and active presence in the newspapers, many woes and worries of her ascension have been dissuaded.

Since entering the public eye in 2459, Shumaila enjoys much support from the women of Kaltir. Many look to her as an inspiration, buying “military” style jackets to emulate her look, given that Shumaila became one of the few Tajara women to lead a nation. However, this fame has also led to calls from the nobility and her family to choose a husband. Shumaila retains that her marriage comes after her coronation. She was finally crowned in 2463 after King Azunja passed away. Outside of continuing her uncle's legacy, her plans to the Kingdom are still unclear to the wide public

===Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan===
[[File:Marshal portrait.png|200px|thumb|right| A portrait of Field-Marshal Zarkradar'Akhan, circa 2420.]]
Rrhazhal was born in '2380 to the noble Njarir’Akhran Zarkradar'Akhan line, however, he was a legitimized bastard of a Zhan-Kazan maid. As the youngest of his brothers, Rrhazhal was sent into the service of the Azunja family as King Farkhanzirhal Azunja's servant at the age of 10. King Azunja noticed the young child had a talent for philosophy and strategy. The two had many intellectual discussions together as Rrhazhal quickly became a trusted advisor of King Farkhanzirhal by the time he was 20. At this time, King Azunja decided he trusted Rrhazhal with protecting the life of the newly born Vahzirthaamro. On the eve of the First Civil War, Rrhazhal was tasked with training the peasantry of Kaltir in order to defend their fiefdom and nobility against attackers. When Kaltir was annexed by the People's Republic of Adhomai in 2432, Farkhanzirhal frenziedly ordered Rrhazhal to hide Vahzirthaamro before People's Republic soldiers stormed the palace, killing almost everyone. From then on Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan personally accompanied Vahzirthaamro Azunja as his protector and chief advisor.

In 2450, once the New Kingdom had officially declared independence from the People's Republic of Adhomai, Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan was promoted to the rank of Field-Marshal personally by King Azunja, and today oversees all military operations inside of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Respected for his tactical skill but notorious for his radical belief that a compromise is not possible and a complete return to the old nobility is Adhomai's only option for peace, Field-Marshal Rrhazhal Zarkradar'Akhan is one of the oldest fighting nobles left on Adhomai.

===Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas===

Hailing from a royal cadet line and born in 2402, Dynhaas followed his father and brothers to join the Das’nrra Empire’s navy at a young age. When the First Revolution came, naval losses coupled with the rebel conquest of Das’nnra resulted in Dynhaas, the last man left of his line, surrendering and being imprisoned. With the war’s end in 2432, Dynhaas was offered a pardon by the Party in exchange for developing the Republican Navy. He would come to accept this over the alternative of death.

Accepting his defeat and believing that the age of nobility came to an end, Dynhaas came to view the Republican Navy as his new purpose in life. He worked to advance it alongside other pardoned nobles and founded the Oceanmasters Lounge, a private club within the naval officer corps. This path in life would change with the announcement of the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Believing that a way to restore the old glory days of kingdoms laid with the NKA, Dynhaas began to plan a revolt. Partnering with other sympathetic admirals, he had the Republican Navy’s Grand Admiral and several other loyalists killed on a fateful night at the Shastar Naval Base before fleeing eastwards in 2450. In the same year that the New Kingdom was declared, Dynhaas delivered them the strongest naval force Adhomai had ever seen. King Azunja had declared him the Kingdom’s Grand Admiral shortly after meeting with Dynhaas in Miran’mir.

With the Republican Navy's command almost crippled and the ALA unable to compete with their dominance of the sea, Dynhaas used his fleets during the war to support and supply the Royal Army while helping smash the enemies of the New Kingdom. The artillery barrages of his ships were important in coastal battles during the NKA's offensives while their supremacy saved the Royal Marines from certain destruction following the failed Ras'nrr expedition. The prestige of his position made Dynhaas an instant celebrity in the NKA as well. Many propaganda reels and photos showed him as a majestic lord of the sea, something he capitalized on heavily to present himself as the very pinnacle of noble glory. Always well-groomed, well-dressed, and impeccable at talking despite whatever circumstances he was in, Dynhaas never passed the opportunity to host an interview. Most notable was Dynhaas' interview on his opinions of xenos of the S'rand’marr coalition, conducted on his capital vessel while it sieged Nal'tor in the final stages of the war. His statements on Unathi and Skrell were less than positive. After the expulsion of the People's Republic from Harr'masir in 2461, Admiral Mahtra infamously ordered the Royal Navy to engage in an unrestricted bombardment campaign of the eastern Hadiist coast. Cities and villages were targets of frequent naval artillery strikes; the battleships shelled military and civilian targets indiscriminately. The Navy infamously used incendiary shells during these attacks, causing entire neighborhoods to be engulfed in firestorms.

Post-war, Dynhaas went on several speaking tours in the first year of the armistice. Traveling from city to city, his public events were used to promote his upcoming biography and drew crowds in the tens of thousands. Politically, he maintains that the future of the NKA always lies within the navy, and that the industry of the New Kingdom must always retain a heavy focus on their shipyards. Dynhaas has also been vocal in his beliefs of a stronger monarch, often using the emergency powers King Azunja had as an example of the strong benefits that could come with such. He is yet to comment at all on his supposed rival, Mira'zkui, at all.

===Grand Duke Akym Yudenikh===

Born in the Das'nrra Empire to a noble family in 2412, Akym Yudenikh survived the First Revolution by escaping to Northern Harr'masir and hiding his identity. After the Hadiist occupation of the Kingdom of Kaltir, Yudenikh joined the People's Republic bureaucracy; he became responsible for the administration of the local rail system. Akym was infamous for his corruption; he frequently sold permits, disregarded contraband reports, and accepted bribes.

Because of his background, Akym was contacted by the underground royalist movement. He quickly became one of the main supporters of the group; he used his position within the Hadiist government to secure supplies and funding for the incoming uprising. Weapons, machinery, and ammunition were diverted to the Royalist cells. Akym was awarded the title of baron, a seat in the parliament, and some land confiscated from the People's Republic when Vahzirthaamro returned. However, his ambitions did not stop there. Using the money made from his time as a Republican bureaucracy, alongside whatever profit he could extract from his new holdings, Yudenikh continued to acquire more estate. Newly liberated farms were sold to him at a meager price thanks to his connections within the government. In a question of years, he became a Grand Duke and one of the major landowners of the New Kingdom. Akym controversially used prisoners of war as workers in his plantations during the Second Revolution as part of deals with the military.

Following the Armistice, Akym Yudenikh now leads the Royalist Party; his main mission is to maintain the status quo. The continuation of the constitutional monarchy and the privileges of the nobility align perfectly with his interests. He is one of the major supporters of further deals with megacorporations. Grand Duke Akym is not afraid to use his position to protect his interest in the parliament. Under his vision, prosperity for the New Kingdom means more power and wealth to its elite.

===Prince Serhiy Oliinyk===

Born as the third son to a family of Njarir'Akhran in 2434, Serhiy Oliinyk's life was profoundly affected by events over which he had no control. Raised in a household of avid royalists supporters, Serhiy was exposed to his parents' ideology since his youth. However, the boy had his reservations in regards to the possible return of the monarchy; he doubted that they could truly avoid the mistakes of the past. For his support during the uprising in Northern Harr'masir, the patriarchy of the Oliinyk family was given a seat in the parliament, a title of nobility, and a modest tract of land. Serhiy mistakenly believed that he could escape his bloodline's obligation thanks to his status as the third child. He already had a passion in his life: playing the P'rrama.

The war was cruel to the Oliinyk. Serhiy's brothers were killed while serving the army. This put him in an uneasy position as the heir of a parliamentary seat. The growing debt forced his father to sell whatever land they had left; the Oliinyk had officially joined the ranks of landless nobility. The final blow came in 2459 with the bombing of the Parliament; Serhiy inherited his progenitor's seat after his demise in the attack. The young musician was thrown into the midst of the New Kingdom's politics. Influenced by his social status and beliefs, he aligned himself to the Commoners Party.

If he is truly unable to escape his fate, Prince Serhiy decided to make the best out of it. Because of his age and a family full of martyrs, Serhiy became the Commoners Party's main spokesperson. Convincing the Queen to support the Populists will not be easy; the Conservatives and Absolutists are far more powerful and influential. A powerful strategy is necessary to guarantee the Commoners Party triumph in the parliament. Serhiy plans to retire from politics after the hereditary parliamentary positions are banned and the Kingdom is fairer to its population. He hopes to return to his greatest passion: music.

===Count Tscherim Sanguszkho===

Hailing from a cadet house of the Rrhakaslov dynasty, Tscherim Sanguszkho was born in 2433 shortly after his family escaped to Kaltir to avoid the First Revolution's massacres. He was raised on a small farm frequented by disposed nobles and royalist sympathizers. Sheltered from the rest of Adhomai, he grew only knowing the world only through the nostalgic tales of pre-contact Njarir'Akhran, The Sanguszkho family was quick to offer their support to King Azunja when he returned; the Tscherim's father was given a seat in the parliament. Tscherim became a low-ranking officer in the army.

Tscherim Sanguszkho's military career came to an end in 2460 when he was gravely wounded in combat. Taking advantage of his pension and family's position, Tscherim spent the next years in gentlemen's clubs. In these places, he entered into contact with radical Absolute Royalists and became deeply interested in [[Tajaran Minor Religions#Ancient Tajara Theory|esoteric beliefs]]. Tscherim founded his organization in 2462: the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity. Drawing inspiration from the stories of an idealized pre-First Contact society, the ideology known as Revival Royalism was born from the Fraternity's meetings. Posing as a regular club, Tscherim was able to introduce other nobles to his ideals. Knowing that the task of enforcing the old order was not an easy one, Sanguszkho chose a common enemy to unite the kingdom against: the Tajara of mixed heritage.

Tscherim's plan came to fruition when his father died in a car accident in 2463; he inherited a landed title, a state, and a seat in the Parliament. Shortly after, the Njarir'Akhran Renewal Fraternity opened its membership to the public and made its intentions clear. Thanks to a deal with the Officers and Royal parties, the Fraternity became the fourth faction in the Parliament. Despite being the leader of the smallest Party, Count Tscherim has already begun to plot to slowly introduce his ideology into the New Kingdom.

===Ser Mrakhanjurl Ii'rka===

Mrakhanjurl was born in 2422 in a Zhan-Khazan family in a small village outside Olska. He received little education nor traveled far outside his village. As soon as he came of age at 16 he joined the rest of the village mining bauxite ore to be shipped to Olska to make aluminum. He eventually lost both parents to lung cancer from the mine's poor ventilation before he was 23. In 2452, when he was 29, he traveled with a dozen other Zhan-Khazan miners several miles to Olska to join a protest against the new legislation of President Hadii that was meant to crack down 'subversive elements' that many felt were unfair to Zhan-Khazan. The army was called in and brutally repressed the demonstration, which saw Mrakhanjurl narrowly escape with his life. He returned to his village to find that it had been torched by the republican army for housing subversive agitators.

Mrakhanjurl mourned the loss of his village and was picked up by rebel militia, who revealed that they had managed to provide early warning to the village and evacuate over a dozen people, but the army had managed to find and kill all but a handful of survivors. In gratitude for the rebels dying for his village, and to avenge the deaths, Mrakhanjurl joined the armed resistance that eventually joined itself under the New Kingdom of Adhomai. In a very short few years became a remarkable marksman, gaining the most recorded kills of any Tajara sniper. Current New Kingdom estimates put Mrakhanjurl's kill count at 285, 32 of those enemy PRA snipers.

Mrakhanjurl also managed to evacuate countless civilians from Republic territory to northern New Kingdom holdings. During the famous ''Rout of the 2nd Battalion'', in which New Kingdom defenders unsuccessfully attempted to prevent Republican forces from capturing Baltor, Mrakhanjurl assumed command of the 4th Company after both its leading officers had been killed by sniper fire. Despite a serious gunshot wound to the leg Mrakhanjurl began shouting orders and rallied the shattered defenders, who were the last line of defense between the advancing Republic forces and thousands of refugees attempting to flee the city. The ''Rally of the 4th Company'' on 2456 successfully managed to delay advancing Republic troops long enough for thousands of more refugees to escape into New Kingdom territory who would otherwise face atrocity.

For his bravery and growing fame (which was now considered too important to risk in the war effort), Mrakhanjurl was given the Order of the Victorious Sun, the highest honor in the New Kingdom, as well as being the first Zhan-Khazan in history to be given the noble rank of Ser. He remains a hero to the Zhan-Khazan and the New Kingdom.

===King of the Mountains Rustam Harmaliik===

Rustam Harmaliik was born in 2427 as the son of a deposed Njarir'Akhran noble family. He spent most of his youth in the rural region of Harr'masir, where he had contact with some groups of Rhazar'Hrujmagh that inhabited the region. As an adult, he found employment in law enforcement and was sent by the People’s Republic to support the efforts to settle the rock nomads of the Harr’masir region in 2448 as a Republican official.

While working alongside the authorities to make sure that the nomadic Zhan would accept and adopt a sedentary lifestyle, Rustam grew more interested in their culture and became skeptical of the Hadii’s regime and how they were treating the Rock Nomads. Unrest among the Rhazar'Hrujmagh soon followed, and Rustam would try to offer his support in any way possible, such as sabotaging equipment shipment or relaying misleading intelligence. The government soon realized his treason, forcing Rustam to abandon his post and escape into the wilderness.

Rustam found shelter among a caravan of the Rhazar'Hrujmagh, and soon adopted their way of life. Unrest and resistance continued among the rock nomads, and Harmaliik joined their struggle against the People’s Republic. With the New Kingdom’s rebellion, the control of the region waned and the Republican efforts shifted to other problems, which allowed the nomad resistance to blossom into guerrilla warfare. Rustam climbed the ranks of his caravan’s forces, winning prestige and favor by leading them against the Republican forces.

The second revolution happened, and the Rhazar'Hrujmagh resistance continued. Rustam assumed the leadership of his adopted caravan and aimed to acquire more support among the other Rock Nomads. Through the years of the conflict, he gathered more men and wagons under his command, through diplomacy or conquest, but limiting himself to defensive tactics, ambushes, and raids. The political stance of Harmaliik has always been one of neutrality in the conflict, never compromising fully with the Adhomai Liberation army, due to his Njarir’Akhran origins and monarchist sentiments, and never declaring any support to the New Kingdom, in fear of losing the trust of his fellow nomads,

Due to a republican offensive against the nomadic guerrillas in 2461, Rustam decided to declare himself the Almalik’Rhazar, a word roughly translated as "leader of the mountains", following an ancient nomadic tradition that allows the largely independent Rock Nomad caravans to elect a ruler among themselves. This decision alienated him from his ALA allies and the other nomads, forcing him to side with the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Harmaliik and his caravans have joined the kingdom war effort. He and his people were later granted the southeast territories of the New Kingdom for their support during the conflict.

===Brother Mikhail Ordau===
Little is known about Mikhail Oradu’s parentage. He was given to the Parivara at a very young age, left on the doorstep of Miran'mir's abbey. Thus the Family took him in as they do many small children, teaching him and educating him about S’rendarr and Messa. Mikhail was an accomplished writer for his age, but a speech impediment left him at a disadvantage when it came to oral presentations. The boy was known to be bookish, and spent much of his free time in the abbey’s library as well as its restricted section, thanks to his close friendship with the abbot.

He had an unusual interest in the sciences for a clergyman. As the Second Revolution loomed ahead, and whispers of splitting from the Republic crept into the local city, he busied himself with reading and tending to the monastery’s garden. Eventually, Miran’mir and all of northern Harr’masir split from the Republic to form the New Kingdom. With the war came plenty of hardship, and the Priests of S’rendarr did their best to help alleviate the tragedy amongst the peasants.

With little farmable land and a severe manpower disadvantage, the New Kingdom struggled to provide for its people. Starvation was a very real threat, and the abbey’s garden was not sufficient. A conflicted Mikhail turned once again to the abbey’s library and science for an answer; and, as though a miracle from the Suns themselves, one came. He discovered an ancient text detailing breeding methods for slaves, from long before the First Revolution. Suggestions on how to pass on desirable traits and mannerisms; to breed subservience. Controversial, but an unknowing descriptor of genetics and hereditary traits.

It was armed with this knowledge that Mikhail set about breeding new plants. Earthen roots, dirt berries, and more were cultivated for generations by Mikhail, aiming to pass on traits like hardiness and vitality. The plants became much more accustomed to growing in harsh conditions thanks to his work, and as the New Kingdom pushed back the Republicans and gained more territory, these hardier plants were easier to grow in the shell-shocked muddy battlefields. The threat of starvation became less and less pressing as more and more farms could deal with the way the war affected the terrain. For his efforts, Brother Mikhail was afforded a personal audience with the King.

===Oleg Al'Mor===
Born Oleg Murkov Al-Al’Mori in 2400, Oleg was a teenager when humanity stumbled upon the Tajara. His simple life of working and indentured servitude was suddenly upended with the influx of new ideals; he and his family, along with a contingent of other refugees of war avoided the conflicts erupting across the planet by staying in the mountains of Northern Harr’masir. To pass the time and keep themselves entertained, the telling of fireside epics became common. Oleg was noted to be imaginative with his tales even then, regaling other Tajara with stories of war and love.

Eventually, however, the nomadic hunter-gatherer life in the mountains could no longer support their numbers, and Oleg’s group descended from their hiding place. By this point, rebel armies had mostly taken hold of Kal’tir and the surrounding areas, giving Oleg relative freedom. When the war finally came to an end in 2432, Oleg was well known as a traveling bard and performer who earned his living using his creative skills entertaining war-weary soldiers and newly freed slaves. The stability that came with the formation of the People’s Republic afforded Oleg the opportunity to settle down in Kal’tir once again, where he took an interest in the local theater scene.

His first play, The Jester’s End, pioneered the form of black comedy and was a throwback to the days of servitude. Over the course of his career in Kal’tir, Oleg penned many more plays under his pseudonym Oleg Al’Mor, out of fear of inviting reprisals from the People’s Republic. Oleg’s plays were often scandalous or controversial for challenging the traditional morality held by Tajara. However, as time went on, his works became formulaic and much less shocking, and thus by extension more palatable to the average Tajara. Black comedy found a good home amongst the countless war veterans of the First Revolution.

Oleg considered himself an intellectual, and when the New Kingdom of Adhomai split from the People’s Republic he was an outspoken supporter. He and his family had experienced the benefits of the old ways, and with his considerable wealth from play royalties, he financed the New Kingdom with donations. Sadly, Oleg Al’Mor passed away in December of 2460 after completing his final work. The play, titled A Maiden’s Voyage, was particularly well-received, with even the King himself getting a private showing. Many of his works are still performed in theaters all over the New Kingdom’s territory.

==Others==

===Father Valyan K'rrirran===

''"From the stars, he saw Adhomai's cities and mountains become nothing more than specks. When he beheld the planet from far away, he realized that it was a small dot within this vast new galaxy. It was then he saw how truly special our homeland and our people are."''

''-Father Valyan K'rrirran, written as the ending to the prologue in his novel "An Introduction to The Twin Suns", 2430.''

Born in 2406 to a family of merchants in Dras’nrra, Valyan chose to join the faith at a young age, and became a fully-fledged Priest of S'rendarr in the midst of the First Revolution. It was during this time that Valyan had also become one of the first few Tajara to leave Adhomai. Settling on Xanu Prime in 2426 and remaining there until the war’s end in 2431, Valyan provided much of the first glimpses into the theology of the Tajara during this time. He, later on, returned home after publishing his novel written in Tau Ceti Basic on the history of the S’rendarr and Messa. Following the Second Revolution, he had replaced Walid Al’qat as The Father of the Parivara after Al’qat died of heart failure. Since gaining his position in 2462 the new Father has already demonstrated to Adhomai that he is able to rise to the task of leading the Parivara. Alongside his archivers, he had revealed misinterpretations in the vows of the Suns Sisters and amended the Vow of Silence to the original Vow of Whispers.

The Father has kept this momentum of progress going forward. In the same year, he began to assist with several archeological digs across Adhomai to gather more information on not just the history of the Suns faith, but also of the Tajara people. Much of this collection is digitalized and shared through a newly developed site (Simply dubbed “Parivara and Tajara History.pra”.) made by an influx of well-educated acolytes. Now, any curious Tajara or alien can find a trove of information on the Parivara and new details on the species’ history. This mix of preserving old traditions alongside progressing aspects of the church has made Valyan popular among the younger generations of Tajara, kindling their interest in the faith.

However, Valyan is not free of controversy. Some conspiracy theorists believe that he could have had a hand in the death of the previous Father, citing the lack of provided medical care and the quick selection of Valyan as the new Father. Others point to his connection to the revitalized Kin of S’rendarr and believe him to be funding the Kin, supplying them with off-world equipment and arms to continue their war against whoever is deemed the faith’s enemy. Nonetheless, these are regarded as little more than baseless rumors by much of the population.

===Rikdar Al'Manq===

Rikdar was born on '''2429''' the noble Njarir’Akhran Bayan line in Nal'Tor, with Bayan being his birth name. However, his parents were disappeared by Republic secret police in one of the frequent purges of Njarir’Akhran and he was put into state-run foster care. He has raised in the ''House Of Young Patriots'' orphanage until he was adopted at 14 to Hharar parents and took their last name of Al'Manq. As he was going to school his parents and teachers immediately took notice of his artistic abilities and interest in painting, which the orphanage had initially tried to discourage. In 2446, when he was 18, Rikdar won an art contest where he submitted a portrait of his Environmental Geology teacher and gained a prestigious scholarship in the Nal'Tor University of The Arts, a state-funded institution.

Rikdar attended the university for several years, though his studies were sometimes interrupted or delayed by the periodic waves of anti-Njarir’Akhran demonstrations and violence that gripped the campus. However, he quickly became a prodigy amongst his peers. Al'Manq's style of oil painting and doing portraits became a sensation in the capital, with the mayor and several city officials requesting their portraits done. Rikdar graduated from university at 20 years old in '''2450''' with a Bachelor of Arts. Having already received several high-profile commissions, including the then-President Al'Mari Hadii, whose portrait was done a week before his death. Al'Manq managed to survive the resulting chaos across Adhomai following the assassination of Al'Mari Hadii by the nature of his celebrity status, but his popularity remains confined within the major cities.

At only 29 years old in '''2458''' the ''Al'Manq Style'' has already become a famous style of painting across Adhomai. The Al'Manq Style is noted for its use of rich oil-based paint that focuses on portraits and profiles. The colors are often bold or show rich texture and color. The hands of Tajara are painted without being anatomically correct. Critics blast Al'Manq's apparent inability to draw hands correctly but Rikdar has stated that it's his personal style. This has influenced other artists, and many attempting to pay homage to Al'Manq draw hands as stubby. Rikdar remains extremely popular on Adhomai. The People's Republic remains a quiet supporter of his work, and state officials pay him handsome commissions for their portraits to be done, though they frown on him taking commissions from New Kingdom officials as well. The Adhomai Liberation Army has painted Rikdar as just another nobleman and several members of the Liberation Army have given open contempt for his work.

===Bloodstorm===

Bloodstorm is a famous and infamous DPRA Heavy Metal Band that has surged in popularity with the younger “denier” generation. Those in this generation are categorized by their refusal of modern Tajara convictions but also human influences, instead of turning to their roots.

====Vargir Stenovich “Godslayer”====

The lead guitarist of the group, Vargir Stenovich is known as the spokesperson of the band and the most controversial figures. Admitting to being a Raskara cultist in public and calling out the Parivara on their “bedding with the government”. Vargir has been involved in numerous scandals including protesting military parades, playing one of his songs next to a work camp without permission, and lastly ingesting drugs on live television and proceeding to slander the ALA for bombing the NKA parliament.
[[File:Al-Atil.png|200px|thumb|right|Photo of Al-Atil at the Mztel'Mir concert, "War Is Fuck, Let's Do It", circa 2459.]]

====Janos Al-Lung “Drowner”====

Janos is the bassist of Bloodstorm and the only band member without a criminal record. He has frequently butted heads with Stenovich over the political extremities the band goes through to discredit not only PRA and NKA but also DPRA.

====Al-Atil Csihar “Nightmaster”====

The vocalist, Al-Atil, is known for his “mrowl”, a high, long, yelp that is recorded as the loudest sound produced by a Tajara. He loves to interact with the public and often stays behind on the podium to sign autographs and fans, the latter of which he uses black spray paint.

====Cecil Kernov “Bloodletter”====

Cecil is the Drummer and has the longest time served behind bars. Kernov has his nickname for a reason as he’s been charged with armed assault. He had brutally assaulted a fan who had climbed on stage with a drum, getting it stuck on said Tajara’s head and pushing him off the stage with a dropkick.

====The Mist “Mih”====

A yet unknown band member by the public, “Mih” remains anonymous always wearing a mask in public and never speaking. He plays the P'rrama, an old Tajara string instrument, with 8 strings mirrored in a long horn-like pipe that extends to the ground which emits a loud, brass twanging noise described as an over-amped guitar.

'''Most Notable Albums Include:'''

The Freezing Blizzard - An early, traditional album, mediocre without the employment of the P'rrama.

War Is Fuck, Let's Do It - The core most popular album drawing similarities between war and love.

If Messa Was Here She'd Be a Whore - First anti-Parivara album created, criticizing their ignorance towards women and discrimination of female priests.

We Live in a Society - WLiaS describes pure hatred of every single faction present not even sparing Sol or Tau Ceti.

Shell In, Spine Out - Another anti-war album, describing the life of a dying soldier.

S'rrendar Loves You Except He Doesn't - Repeated hatred of Parivara, slander, and is famous for having a recording of Cecil attacking a fan with the drum.

If You're Old You Should Die - Scolding critique of the old leading system and a call for the younger generation to disregard the politicians and tear it all down.

Tajara Space Capability

2021-10-13T13:22:51Z

Coalf: Reworded some stuff to sound better.

{{Navbox Lore}}
{{Navbox Tajara Lore}}

=Space Flight=

At the time of their discovery, the Tajara thought of spaceflight the same as we might think of cold fusion. However, with human first contact, these mental barriers were not dismantled but rather blown apart. All at once, apathy, shock, joy, and existential dread resonated through the entirety of Adhomai. Many were overjoyed; beings from outer space had come to usher in a new age of enlightenment and knowledge. They were swiftly corrected.
Now, fifty years later space flight had become somewhat mundane. All three governments have implemented strict spacing laws, materials are frequently carried in and space exports are made on a daily schedule. Still, the Tajara people remain the most divided in their opinions of space flight. Many see it as the beginning of the hard times, others recognize it as a simple business and a few more know it’s their only way off of this planet.

==History of Space Flight==
Shortly after the first contact, multiple offers were made by the royal houses to purchase human vessels, however, all were rejected. While no records of negotiations have survived to this day, it is assumed this was done to lessen the impact of Tajara on galactic politics.

After the first revolution and the establishment of the new federal government, President Rhagrrhuzau Hadii put much effort into ensuring the PRA would be provided a vessel and trained personnel. Eventually, after months of negotiations, the new PRA was provided the Freighter "Ruka" alongside 20 trained human astronauts, and blueprints of the ship. With blueprint in hand, president Hadii's anti-imperialist rhetoric sharply increased, souring his relationships with NanoTrasen and Sol.

With these new materials, the first Tajara satellites were launched into space. The rapid advancement of technology ensured that eventually, a Tajara would reach space without the assistance of a human vessel. After the first trip to space, next came visits to other planets, Raskara was first on the list, and while many religious folks protested against it the mission was successfully completed. After all of these successes, the pinnacle of Tajara engineering was completed and launched into space: an advanced (for the time) orbital platform known as The People’s Space Station, crewed only by Tajara.

This “space high” wore off rather quickly after the assassination. The few trained space captains and their vessels remained loyal to the PRA, being high ranking party members themselves. However, their crews were of a different opinion, and after a myriad of mutinies and sabotage, practically the whole fleet was unusable for the first half of the war. Eventually, PRA managed to manufacture its first fully militarized ship, the PNA Retaliation as well as restore their civilian crafts. Soon, many more decommissioned and outdated human ships would be purchased, and alongside the PNA Retaliation, they'd spend the rest of the war attempting to cut off smuggling supply lines of the DPRA and NKA.

Now peace reigns, but the PRA space navy still reigns supreme in the S'rand'marr system. Neither the DPRA nor NKA are capable of competing with the PRA, and still rely mostly on human contractors and illegal smugglers. This has led to both factions having a much smaller presence in galactic politics and their citizens usually have to make traveling purchases out of their own pocket. However, the recent acquisition of Gakal’Zaal and its spaceport has been a major shakeup in the space politics and it could spell the end of the PRA supremacy.

==Civilian Ships and Installations==

Civilian and foreign ships are a common sight around the resource-rich Adhomai. The SCC, CoC, Elyria, and independent contractors frequently fly in and out of Adhomai to trade or mine resources. The Federation has also been a more frequent sight due to their recent, relatively positive, interactions with the PRA.

In the past, ships owned by Tajara who were not citizens of the PRA would be confiscated by the state and the owner arrested. Now in times of peace, it is only PRA citizens who are not permitted to privately own a space vessel, however, they can function as government contractors and be lent a ship, provided they're a loyal party member. This doesn't mean NKA and DPRA Tajara have it easy, due to PRA's dominant supremacy all NKA and DPRA ships are searched if caught, any illegal goods they find are then immediately confiscated and sent to the PRA. The two other governments find it difficult to protect their citizens in this matter, their recommendation is to simply not get caught or become a government contractor, as PRA ships won't touch those out of fear of provoking war.

===Freighter===
Tajara designed freighters are similar in design to any other freighter, with the exception of added crudeness and a certain amateurish touch. There is one specialty, which is the emergency ejection system. Most Tajara freighters are capable of ditching their entire cargo load within seconds; leaving the goods for the pirates while the ship itself survives another day. Few captains use this system to make quick drops into hostile territories. This tactic is unpopular as very little cargo, or those supposed to receive said cargo, survive the impact.

===Transport===
Civilian transports of Tajara design are a rare sight, but they do exist. Built for survival in dangerous space, these ships boast both extremely thick plating and large, powerful engines. Making them some of the safest ships in The Badlands.
This of course comes at the cost of comfort, the plating and engines leave little room for effective heat dispersal and during long and intense chases, passengers can even "cook alive" inside their cabins if they're close to the engines.

===Mining Jacks===
A skipjack would usually be seen in the hands of smugglers but Tajara have developed an ingenious way of mining. Instead of using a large ship to land on an asteroid and deploying a mining crew, these small, one-pilot Jacks simply cut away a part of an asteroid and take it back to a mining station. There it is processed while the skipjack flies off to the asteroid again. This also means that the crews are on their own, and if anything goes wrong they'll end up stranded and without any immediate help.

===Scrapper===
A frequent sight in Tajaran space are Scrappers. Crewed by three or five Tajara, these horseshoe-shaped ships use their electromagnets to latch onto other ships, after which they either two the ship into a nearby spaceyard or offer repairs on the spot. This service is free for PRA ships and used frequently, while foreigners often prepare to repair their own ships. Scrappers also frequently engage in "debris cleanup", towing unsalvagable ships or satellites into spaceyards to be scrapped and re-used. An urban legend persists that certain Scrappers tow healthy ships into scrap, hoping to steal other ships' contents after they are dismantled alongside the crew.

===Smugglers===
From the first revolution to the most recent Gakal’zaal uprising, smuggling has always played a large part in Tajara history. The DPRA in particular harbors very good relations with smugglers, keeping them more as a permanent asset rather than a quick hire. While the PRA would love to get rid of these smugglers, many arrive to Adhomai under legitimate corporate interests or at least masking as such. Giving them an uninterrupted way in and out.

=People's Republic of Adhomai=
Realizing that ship-combat is utterly different from naval or ground combat, the PRA developed a unique doctrine titled “The Blizzard”. It is defined by quick hit-and-run attacks of smaller interceptors while larger ships stand back as fire support. This has led to the Tajara fleets being very effective in eliminating pirates, but rather fragile in any other sustained combat. The PRA's Orbital Navy is led by an appointed [https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Notable_Tajara#Chief_Naval_Commander_Samirro_Qarrarhaz Chief Naval Commander].
[[File:Ships pew pew.png|350px|thumb|right|Organization of the PRA space forces.]]
==Fang==
Fangs are piloted interceptors with zero shielding, low armoring, unguided rockets, and ballistic cannons. Their design is based on outdated alliance corvettes, and they're designed to fit in large quantities into carriers and corvettes. Fang pilots are usually compromised of young and poorly trained pilots, few survive more than two engagements.

==Snowstorm==
The most advanced addition to the Tajaran fleet, the Snowstorm is a skipjack operated by a pilot and a hacker. They employ a wide range of signal disruptors, hacking tools, and scramblers. Capable of disabling even a large destroyer, they're sent out alongside the smaller Fangs who serve as a distraction with the Snowstorm tries to get as close to the enemy vessel as possible and disable their systems. While provided special jumpsuits, the hackers on these ships are required to frequently shave their fur to prevent any short-circuiting of their sensitive equipment, thus they're often lovingly called "Smooths".

==Icelance==
Perfection of the PRA doctrine, these ships function as space artillery. Magnetic accelerators along the whole length of the ship fire titanium rods at supersonic speeds. Being impossible to shoot down by gunners due to their thin profile, and undetectable by conventional point-defense make these firing mechanisms a perfect fit. However, they are very slow and are only capable of firing a few shots before their battery runs dry, giving them a low rate of fire. Thus it is a rare sight to see an Icelance without a supporting Headmaster or Sentinel.

==Icelance GC-2 (Glacial Worm Type 2 variant)==
The main difference between the regular Icelance and the GC-2 is the main weapon. With the perfection of cryonics, PRA scientists have equipped this ship with a "particle retarded", commonly known as a "Freeze Ray". Used most often against shielded opponents or ships the PRA desires to apprehend rather than destroy, this design sees frequent use at security checkpoints and borders. The nature of the weapon also means it strains the battery much less, providing it with a higher rate of fire and life expectancy.

==Headmaster==
The second heaviest ship created by the People's Republic of Adhomai. As of now, it's the lightest heavy ship ever designed, barely staying above the classification of a cruiser. This makes the Headmaster both fast enough to keep up with the rest of the fleet, while being able to survive anything common pirates can field. However, they're incapable of standing up against any other ship in their size category and are not employed in the same way as other cruisers. Recent bigger designs have been entering the testing phase, possibly opening the Tajara to larger-scale galactic operations.

==Sentinel==
A carrier ship, designed to ferry Fangs and Snowstorms, as well as assisting and providing support for the Icelance. It is the largest and bulkiest ship in the Tajara fleet and so it was assumed that the Sentinel would be the primary target of enemy fire. As a precaution, the government spared no expense on these ships. Boasting high armor, impressive shielding, point-defense, and even Bluespace Disruptors purchased from Epsilon Eridani, piloting this kind of ship is an honor of the highest degree. Only the most skilled and loyal captains are permitted to command these behemoths into battle. They are also hard to maintain and supply and so they are deployed sparringly.

==Kosmostrelki==
[[File:Komostrelkiposter.png|200px|thumb|right|People's Republic of Adhomai propaganda poster for the recruitment of the Kosmostrelki.]]

The PRA has always been known for substituting quality with quantity. However, this sentiment had to be tweaked for space combat as their ships, cheap as they are, are still hard and expensive to replace for the government. This makes the Kosmostrelki some of the best-trained troops in the PRA roster. The Kosmostrelki are usually trained in the martial art of Baghrar, both to instill discipline and help with their balance. They are also capable sharpshooters, understand advanced first aid, and are drilled in the repair and upkeep of the spaceships they inhabit. While there are specialized medics and engineers, all Kosmostrelki are expected to know how to improvise their way out of any emergency.

There is a rumor among other troops that the Kosmostrelki have a high amount of deserters. Due to how easy it would be to run away into space. However, these claims are unsupported.

==Republican Defensive Robots==
Most heavy Republican ships carry a detachment of very outdated combat robots brought from Solarian military surplus. They are equipped with forward-facing shielding, a power-saw, and various ballistic armaments. These robots operate with a team of 4 Kosmostrelki who are responsible for its continued operation and are only deployed in boarding actions where no hostages are expected. These robots have a rudimentary AI and can perform only the most simple tasks outside of combat.

The People's Republic was once unable to manufacture the defensive robots, relying solely on maintenance to make them sustainable. This changed in 2463 with the opening of the first Hadiist self-sufficient robotics factory. The PRA can now produce these automatons without external help.

==Okon 001==
The first observation post built on the moon, originally constructed by the Jargon Federation and named Site B2134. Its original purpose was to observe the Tajara people, but after their rapid ascension to space-age technology, the observation post was abandoned and sold to the PRA for a suspiciously low price. It was subsequently renamed to Okon 001, which translates to "Eye" in Siik'maas.

Afterward, it remained unused for several years due to a lack of trained Tajara scientists to operate it, leading to its disrepair.
During the second revolution, it was manned by forty crewmembers, finally getting some much-needed maintenance. During this time it was used to spy on the enemy activity as well as reporting possible pirate and smuggling activity. This is the longest known official Tajara space deployment, lasting from the beginning of the second war until the end. Afterward, all forty-one crewmembers were inspected, and outside of the expected bone elongations, slight muscle entropy, and audio-visual hallucinations all were declared perfectly healthy.

Okon 001 is still in use, manned by much smaller crews of five who are rotated out every month and have varying skill levels depending on the mission they’re carrying out. Janitors, engineers, doctors, scientists, and even common miners have been part of Okon crew. Regardless, all Okon's crews modify their suits with lights, each one wearing a different color to recognize each other without having to use the radio. Many choose to keep them afterward.

=Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai=

The Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai's presence in space relies solely on the large fleet of smugglers sympathetic to the Al'mariist cause. However, projects to create some kind of military presence is currently underway.

==Free Gakal'Zaal Station==
Gakal'zaal station has been a very recent addition to the DPRA space capability. This addition has been heralded as a stepping stone to the first DPRA fleet, with its spaceyard capable of manufacturing up to medium-sized ships.
The Free Gakal'zaal Station, originally known as Makar Castle, is an orbital station floating around the planet. The facility was built by the Unathi to serve as their seat of power; it was abandoned after the planet joined the Democratic People’s Republic. The facility was taken over by the Tajara and turned into a spaceport. It has also become a smuggler's haven, as thanks to them, the large-scale transports of men and materials were possible. Now they enjoy a degree of immunity from the authorities, creating a large black market on the station.

=New Kingdom of Adhomai=

The New Kingdom of Adhomai has the weakest grasp on space of all Adhomian factions. The Kingdom has made some progress in amending this issue by purchasing civilian ships from megacorporations.

==Her Majesty’s Mercantile Flotilla==

Established in 2463, the Her Majesty’s Mercantile Flotilla is a conglomerate of Royalist companies involved in intergalactic trade. Since the end of the Armistice, the New Kingdom has been purchasing civilian ships from NanoTrasen and Hephaestus Industries. These spacecraft were then sold to the Kingdom's national companies, under the condition that they would join a trading company under the government's supervision.

While the Mercantile Flotilla may bring wealth to the New Kingdom, it has further increased the economy's dependence on Megacorporations. Due to the lack of a proper space military force, the defense of the fleet is entirely dependent on protection contracts signed with extranational entities - such as the SCC. The New Kingdom is also unable to build ships; the Mercantile Flotilla relies solely on foreign corporations for repairs and acquiring new spacecraft.

=Space Flight=

At the time of their discovery, the Tajara thought of spaceflight the same as we might think of cold fusion. However, with human first contact, these mental barriers were not dismantled but rather blown apart. All at once, apathy, shock, joy, and existential dread resonated through the entirety of Adhomai. Many were overjoyed; beings from outer space had come to usher in a new age of enlightenment and knowledge. They were swiftly corrected.
Now, fifty years later space flight had become somewhat mundane. All three governments have implemented strict spacing laws, materials are frequently carried in and space exports are made on a daily schedule. Still, the Tajara people remain the most divided in their opinions of space flight. Many see it as the beginning of the hard times, others recognize it as a simple business and a few more know it’s their only way off of this planet.

==History of Space Flight==
Shortly after the first contact, multiple offers were made by the royal houses to purchase human vessels, however, all were rejected. While no records of negotiations have survived to this day, it is assumed this was done to lessen the impact of Tajara on galactic politics.

After the first revolution and the establishment of the new federal government, President Rhagrrhuzau Hadii put much effort into ensuring the PRA would be provided a vessel and trained personnel. Eventually, after months of negotiations, the new PRA was provided the Freighter "Ruka" alongside 20 trained human astronauts, and blueprints of the ship. With blueprint in hand, president Hadii's anti-imperialist rhetoric sharply increased, souring his relationships with NanoTrasen and Sol.

With these new materials, the first Tajara satellites were launched into space. The rapid advancement of technology ensured that eventually, a Tajara would reach space without the assistance of a human vessel. After the first trip to space, next came visits to other planets, Raskara was first on the list, and while many religious folks protested against it the mission was successfully completed. After all of these successes, the pinnacle of Tajara engineering was completed and launched into space: an advanced (for the time) orbital platform known as The People’s Space Station, crewed only by Tajara.

This “space high” wore off rather quickly after the assassination. The few trained space captains and their vessels remained loyal to the PRA, being high ranking party members themselves. However, their crews were of a different opinion, and after a myriad of mutinies and sabotage, practically the whole fleet was unusable for the first half of the war. Eventually, PRA managed to manufacture its first fully militarized ship, the PNA Retaliation as well as restore their civilian crafts. Soon, many more decommissioned and outdated human ships would be purchased, and alongside the PNA Retaliation, they'd spend the rest of the war attempting to cut off smuggling supply lines of the DPRA and NKA.

Now peace reigns, but the PRA space navy still reigns supreme in the S'rand'marr system. Neither the DPRA nor NKA are capable of competing with the PRA, and still rely mostly on human contractors and illegal smugglers. This has led to both factions having a much smaller presence in galactic politics and their citizens usually have to make traveling purchases out of their own pocket. However, the recent acquisition of Gakal’Zaal and its spaceport has been a major shakeup in the space politics and it could spell the end of the PRA supremacy.

==Civilian Ships and Installations==

Civilian and foreign ships are a common sight around the resource-rich Adhomai. The SCC, CoC, Elyria, and independent contractors frequently fly in and out of Adhomai to trade or mine resources. The Federation has also been a more frequent sight due to their recent, relatively positive, interactions with the PRA.

In the past, ships owned by Tajara who were not citizens of the PRA would be confiscated by the state and the owner arrested. Now in times of peace, it is only PRA citizens who are not permitted to privately own a space vessel, however, they can function as government contractors and be lent a ship, provided they're a loyal party member. This doesn't mean NKA and DPRA Tajara have it easy, due to PRA's dominant supremacy all NKA and DPRA ships are searched if caught, any illegal goods they find are then immediately confiscated and sent to the PRA. The two other governments find it difficult to protect their citizens in this matter, their recommendation is to simply not get caught or become a government contractor, as PRA ships won't touch those out of fear of provoking war.

===Freighter===
Tajara designed freighters are similar in design to any other freighter, with the exception of added crudeness and a certain amateurish touch. There is one specialty, which is the emergency ejection system. Most Tajara freighters are capable of ditching their entire cargo load within seconds; leaving the goods for the pirates while the ship itself survives another day. Few captains use this system to make quick drops into hostile territories. This tactic is unpopular as very little cargo, or those supposed to receive said cargo, survive the impact.

===Transport===
Civilian transports of Tajara design are a rare sight, but they do exist. Built for survival in dangerous space, these ships boast both extremely thick plating and large, powerful engines. Making them some of the safest ships in The Badlands.
This of course comes at the cost of comfort, the plating and engines leave little room for effective heat dispersal and during long and intense chases, passengers can even "cook alive" inside their cabins if they're close to the engines.

===Mining Jacks===
A skipjack would usually be seen in the hands of smugglers but Tajara have developed an ingenious way of mining. Instead of using a large ship to land on an asteroid and deploying a mining crew, these small, one-pilot Jacks simply cut away a part of an asteroid and take it back to a mining station. There it is processed while the skipjack flies off to the asteroid again. This also means that the crews are on their own, and if anything goes wrong they'll end up stranded and without any immediate help.

===Scrapper===
A frequent sight in Tajaran space are Scrappers. Crewed by three or five Tajara, these horseshoe-shaped ships use their electromagnets to latch onto other ships, after which they either two the ship into a nearby spaceyard or offer repairs on the spot. This service is free for PRA ships and used frequently, while foreigners often prepare to repair their own ships. Scrappers also frequently engage in "debris cleanup", towing unsalvagable ships or satellites into spaceyards to be scrapped and re-used. An urban legend persists that certain Scrappers tow healthy ships into scrap, hoping to steal other ships' contents after they are dismantled alongside the crew.

===Smugglers===
From the first revolution to the most recent Gakal’zaal uprising, smuggling has always played a large part in Tajara history. The DPRA in particular harbors very good relations with smugglers, keeping them more as a permanent asset rather than a quick hire. While the PRA would love to get rid of these smugglers, many arrive to Adhomai under legitimate corporate interests or at least masking as such. Giving them an uninterrupted way in and out.

=People's Republic of Adhomai=
Realizing that ship-combat is utterly different from naval or ground combat, the PRA developed a unique doctrine titled “The Blizzard”. It is defined by quick hit-and-run attacks of smaller interceptors while larger ships stand back as fire support. This has led to the Tajara fleets being very effective in eliminating pirates, but rather fragile in any other sustained combat. The PRA's Orbital Navy is led by an appointed [https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Notable_Tajara#Chief_Naval_Commander_Samirro_Qarrarhaz Chief Naval Commander].
[[File:Ships pew pew.png|350px|thumb|right|Organization of the PRA space forces.]]
==Fang==
Fangs are piloted interceptors with zero shielding, low armoring, unguided rockets, and ballistic machineguns. Their design is based on outdated alliance corvettes, reduced in weight so that they can fit onto carriers in large quantities. Fang pilots range from fresh-faced recruits to grizzled veterans, however, it is rare for a pilot of a Fang to reach his middle-age crisis.

==Snowstorm==
The newest addition to the Tajaran fleet, the Snowstorm is a small spacecraft. Operated by a pilot and a hacker, employing a wide range of signal disturbing, hacking, and intrusive technologies. These ships are capable of completely disabling even a destroyer, provided they are close enough. Hackers tend to shave the fur on body parts not covered by their jumpsuit, to prevent damaging the delicate electronics.

==Icelance==
A perfect reflection of Tajara doctrine, these ships are akin to artillery. Magnetic accelerators along the whole length of the ship fire titanium rods at supersonic speeds. Impossible to shoot down by gunners due to their thin profile, undetectable by conventional point-defense make these rods a deadly projectile. However, with a low fire rate, no armor, and slow speeds they are easy pickings for faster ships and other long-ranged ships.

==Icelance GC-2 (Glacial Worm Type 2 variant)==
The Icelance GC-2 differs in one thing, the main weapon. With advancements in technology PRA scientists have perfected the art of frost, thus the GC-2 variant comes equipped with a molecule retarder commonly known as a “Freeze Ray”. It is capable of instantly stopping engines, collapsing energy shields under their own weight, and blinding enemy pilots. This design also strains the battery much less, giving it a higher rate of fire.

==Headmaster==
The heaviest ship created by the People's Republic of Adhomai. As of now, it's the lightest heavy ship ever designed, barely staying above the classification of a cruiser. This makes the Headmaster very effective in resisting anything pirates can field while being able to keep up with the rest of the fleet. However, they do not stand a chance in a prolonged fight against anything its size. Recent bigger designs have been entering the testing phase, possibly opening the Tajara to larger-scale galactic operations.

==Sentinel==
A carrier ship, designed to ferry Fangs and assist with recharging the Icelance and Snowstorm class ships. It is the largest and bulkiest ship in the Tajara fleet, it was assumed that the Sentinel would be the primary target of enemy fire, in response the government spared no expense on this design. Boasting high armor, impressive shielding, point-defenses, and even Bluespace Disruptors purchased from Epsilon Eridani. Piloting this kind of ship is an honor of the highest degree and often left only to the most skilled of captains and pilots. Of course, the ships are also slow and expensive to upkeep and so many crewmembers jokingly call them “moving space stations”.

==Kosmostrelki==
[[File:Komostrelkiposter.png|200px|thumb|right|People's Republic of Adhomai propaganda poster for the recruitment of the Kosmostrelki.]]

The PRA has always been known for substituting quality with quantity. However, this sentiment had to be tweaked for space combat as their ships, cheap as they are, are still hard and expensive to replace for the government. This makes the Kosmostrelki some of the best-trained troops in the PRA roster. The Kosmostrelki are usually trained in the martial art of Baghrar, both to instill discipline and help with their balance. They are also capable sharpshooters, understand advanced first aid, and are drilled in the repair and upkeep of the spaceships they inhabit. While there are specialized medics and engineers, all Kosmostrelki are expected to know how to improvise their way out of any emergency.

There is a rumor among other troops that the Kosmostrelki have a high amount of deserters. Due to how easy it would be to run away into space. However, these claims are unsupported.

==Republican Defensive Robots==
Most heavy Republican ships carry a detachment of very outdated combat robots brought from Solarian military surplus. They are equipped with forward-facing shielding, a power-saw, and various ballistic armaments. These robots operate with a team of 4 Kosmostrelki who are responsible for its continued operation and are only deployed in boarding actions where no hostages are expected. These robots have a rudimentary AI and can perform only the most simple tasks outside of combat.

The People's Republic was once unable to manufacture the defensive robots, relying solely on maintenance to make them sustainable. This changed in 2463 with the opening of the first Hadiist self-sufficient robotics factory. The PRA can now produce these automatons without external help.

==Okon 001==
The first observation post built on the moon, originally constructed by the Jargon Federation and named Site B2134. Its original purpose was to observe the Tajara people, but after their rapid ascension to space-age technology, the observation post was abandoned and sold to the PRA for a suspiciously low price.

However, the recent acquisition of Gakal’Zaal and its spaceport has been a major shakeup in the space politics and it could spell the end of the PRA supremacy.

==Civilian Ships and Installations==

Civilian ships are a common sight around the resource-rich Adhomai. It is not atypical to frequently find vessels belonging to NanoTrasen, Elyria, privateers, or independent parties in the S’randmarr System. Otherwise, all other ships are considered to officially belong to the PRA as all space-faring vessels owned by Tajara affiliated to the PRA are state property.

In the past, ships owned by Tajara who were not affiliated with the PRA would be confiscated and the owner labeled as a state traitor. Now, this is no longer permitted, and both DPRA and NKA citizens can own a ship. This, however, is made difficult by the PRA still staking claim to pretty much all of known S’rand’marr space and establishing “security checkpoints”. Unsurprisingly, many DPRA and NKA citizens find themselves singled out and searched, their cargo often confiscated due to containing “illegal goods”. Despite these dangers, smuggling still remains a popular criminal activity on Adhomai.

===Freighter===
Tajara designed freighters are just like any other: big, square, and typically equipped with a powerful engine. However, Tajaran freighter models are well known for having an emergency jettison system built into the vessel to enable the pilot to hurriedly eject their cargo so that their vessel can more easily escape a dangerous situation or, in some cases so they can dispose of any evidence of smuggling.

===Transport===
Civilian transports of Tajara design are a rare sight, but they do exist. Built less for comfort and more for survival in pirate space, these ships are dense with armor plating, yet fast due to their powerful engines, making them perfect to withstand any raider attack.
They do, however, generate a massive amount of heat inside the ship itself, leading to many cases of heat-stroke and even to the deaths of the passengers during long chases.

===Mining Jacks===
A skipjack would usually be seen in the hands of smugglers but Tajara have developed an ingenious way of mining. Instead of using a large ship to land on an asteroid and deploying a mining crew, these small, one-pilot Jacks simply cut away a part of an asteroid and take it back to a mining station where it is processed.

===Scrapper===
A frequent sight in Tajaran space are scrappers. Crewed by two or three Tajara, these ships magnetically grip any debris or damaged ships and tow them to a spaceyard, where they’re either scrapped or repaired. There is a rumor floating around, that these horseshoe-shaped ships steal orbiting craft with the crew still inside. Whisking them away to a fate unknown.

===Smugglers===
From the first revolution to the most recent Gakal’zaal uprising, smuggling has always played a large part in Tajara history. The DPRA in particular harbors very good relations with smugglers, keeping them more as a permanent asset rather than a quick hire.

These spacecraft were then sold to the Kingdom's national companies, under the condition that they would join a trading company under the government's supervision.

While the Mercantile Flotilla may bring wealth to the New Kingdom, it has further increased the economy's dependence on Megacorporations. Due to the lack of a proper space military force, the defense of the fleet is entirely dependent on protection contracts signed with extranational entities - such as the SCC. The New Kingdom is also unable to build ships; the Mercantile Flotilla relies solely on foreign corporations for repairs and acquiring new spacecraft.

=Space Flight=

At the time of their discovery, the Tajara thought of spaceflight the same as we might think of cold fusion. However, with human first contact, these mental barriers were not dismantled but rather blown apart. All at once, apathy, shock, joy, and existential dread resonated through the entirety of Adhomai. Many were overjoyed; beings from outer space had come to usher in a new age of enlightenment and knowledge. They were swiftly corrected.
Now, fifty years later space flight had become somewhat mundane. All three governments have implemented strict spacing laws, materials are frequently carried in and space exports are made on a daily schedule. Still, the Tajara people remain the most divided in their opinions of space flight. Many see it as the beginning of the hard times, others recognize it as a simple business and a few more know it’s their only way off of this planet.

==History of Space Flight==
Shortly after the first contact, multiple offers were made by the royals to purchase human vessels, however, all were immediately rejected. No surviving transmissions remain from this era, so concrete records of these failed negotiations are difficult to obtain.

After the first revolution and the establishment of the new federal government, President Rhagrrhuzau Hadii put much effort into ensuring the PRA would be provided a vessel and trained personnel. After months of negotiations, the new PRA was provided the Freighter Ruka alongside 20 trained human astronauts and blueprints of the ship. Many sources indicate that after this exchange, president Hadii’s anti-human rhetoric sharply increased.

With these new materials, the first Tajara satellites were launched into space. The rapid advancement of technology and Tajara understanding of spaceflight soon ensured that multi-stage rockets and eventually the launch of proper space vessels were not far behind. The first twelve Tajara to stand on the moon were both celebrated and declared cursed by many. Eventually, the pinnacle of Tajara engineering was successfully launched into space: an advanced (for the time) orbital platform known as The People’s Space Station, manned only by Tajara.

This “space high” wore off rather quickly after the assassination. What few captains there were amongst the handful of Tajara spacecraft took the side of the PRA, being high ranking party members themselves. The same could not be said of their crews, and many ships experienced mutinies and revolts. As a result, practically every spacecraft was disabled for the majority of the second revolution as the PRA didn’t consider them to be important. After a few years of war, the PRA finally managed to manufacture its first military ship, the PNA Retaliation. Soon, it would purchase multiple other decommissioned ships who, alongside the Retaliation, would spend their service time trying to stop smuggling operations of the NKA and DPRA.

Now in times of peace, the PRA still dominates space. Neither the DPRA nor the NKA finds themselves with the blueprints, facilities, and technicians necessary to field their own ships. Relying on smugglers and overpriced foreign purchases to make any travels off and on Adhomai. However, the recent acquisition of Gakal’Zaal and its spaceport shows that PRA might soon find themselves competing over the ownership of S’rand’marr.

==Civilian Ships and Installations==

Civilian ships are a common sight around the resource-rich Adhomai. It is not atypical to frequently find vessels belonging to NanoTrasen, Elyria, privateers, or independent parties in the S’randmarr System. Otherwise, all other ships are considered to officially belong to the PRA as all space-faring vessels owned by Tajara affiliated to the PRA are state property.

In the past, ships owned by Tajara who were not affiliated with the PRA would be confiscated and the owner labeled as a state traitor. Now, this is no longer permitted, and both DPRA and NKA citizens can own a ship. This, however, is made difficult by the PRA still staking claim to pretty much all of known S’rand’marr space and establishing “security checkpoints”. Unsurprisingly, many DPRA and NKA citizens find themselves singled out and searched, their cargo often confiscated due to containing “illegal goods”. Despite these dangers, smuggling still remains a popular criminal activity on Adhomai.

===Freighter===
Tajara designed freighters are just like any other: big, square, and typically equipped with a powerful engine. However, Tajaran freighter models are well known for having an emergency jettison system built into the vessel to enable the pilot to hurriedly eject their cargo so that their vessel can more easily escape a dangerous situation or, in some cases so they can dispose of any evidence of smuggling.

===Transport===
Civilian transports of Tajara design are a rare sight, but they do exist. Built less for comfort and more for survival in pirate space, these ships are dense with armor plating, yet fast due to their powerful engines, making them perfect to withstand any raider attack.
They do, however, generate a massive amount of heat inside the ship itself, leading to many cases of heat-stroke and even to the deaths of the passengers during long chases.

===Mining Jacks===
A skipjack would usually be seen in the hands of smugglers but Tajara have developed an ingenious way of mining. Instead of using a large ship to land on an asteroid and deploying a mining crew, these small, one-pilot Jacks simply cut away a part of an asteroid and take it back to a mining station where it is processed.

===Scrapper===
A frequent sight in Tajaran space are scrappers. Crewed by two or three Tajara, these ships magnetically grip any debris or damaged ships and tow them to a spaceyard, where they’re either scrapped or repaired. There is a rumor floating around, that these horseshoe-shaped ships steal orbiting craft with the crew still inside. Whisking them away to a fate unknown.

===Smugglers===
From the first revolution to the most recent Gakal’zaal uprising, smuggling has always played a large part in Tajara history. The DPRA in particular harbors very good relations with smugglers, keeping them more as a permanent asset rather than a quick hire. While the PRA would love to get rid of these smugglers, many arrive to Adhomai under legitimate corporate interests or at least masking as such. Giving them an uninterrupted way in and out.

=People's Republic of Adhomai=
Realizing that ship-combat is utterly different from naval or ground combat, the PRA developed a unique doctrine titled “The Blizzard”. It is defined by quick hit-and-run attacks of smaller interceptors while larger ships stand back as fire support. This has led to the Tajara fleets being very effective in eliminating pirates, but rather fragile in any other sustained combat. The PRA's Orbital Navy is led by an appointed [https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Notable_Tajara#Chief_Naval_Commander_Samirro_Qarrarhaz Chief Naval Commander].
[[File:Ships pew pew.png|350px|thumb|right|Organization of the PRA space forces.]]
==Fang==
Fangs are piloted interceptors with zero shielding, low armoring, unguided rockets, and ballistic machineguns. Their design is based on outdated alliance corvettes, reduced in weight so that they can fit onto carriers in large quantities. Fang pilots range from fresh-faced recruits to grizzled veterans, however, it is rare for a pilot of a Fang to reach his middle-age crisis.

==Snowstorm==
The newest addition to the Tajaran fleet, the Snowstorm is a small spacecraft. Operated by a pilot and a hacker, employing a wide range of signal disturbing, hacking, and intrusive technologies. These ships are capable of completely disabling even a destroyer, provided they are close enough. Hackers tend to shave the fur on body parts not covered by their jumpsuit, to prevent damaging the delicate electronics.

==Icelance==
A perfect reflection of Tajara doctrine, these ships are akin to artillery. Magnetic accelerators along the whole length of the ship fire titanium rods at supersonic speeds. Impossible to shoot down by gunners due to their thin profile, undetectable by conventional point-defense make these rods a deadly projectile. However, with a low fire rate, no armor, and slow speeds they are easy pickings for faster ships and other long-ranged ships.

==Icelance GC-2 (Glacial Worm Type 2 variant)==
The Icelance GC-2 differs in one thing, the main weapon. With advancements in technology PRA scientists have perfected the art of frost, thus the GC-2 variant comes equipped with a molecule retarder commonly known as a “Freeze Ray”. It is capable of instantly stopping engines, collapsing energy shields under their own weight, and blinding enemy pilots. This design also strains the battery much less, giving it a higher rate of fire.

==Headmaster==
The heaviest ship created by the People's Republic of Adhomai. As of now, it's the lightest heavy ship ever designed, barely staying above the classification of a cruiser. This makes the Headmaster very effective in resisting anything pirates can field while being able to keep up with the rest of the fleet. However, they do not stand a chance in a prolonged fight against anything its size. Recent bigger designs have been entering the testing phase, possibly opening the Tajara to larger-scale galactic operations.

==Sentinel==
A carrier ship, designed to ferry Fangs and assist with recharging the Icelance and Snowstorm class ships. It is the largest and bulkiest ship in the Tajara fleet, it was assumed that the Sentinel would be the primary target of enemy fire, in response the government spared no expense on this design. Boasting high armor, impressive shielding, point-defenses, and even Bluespace Disruptors purchased from Epsilon Eridani. Piloting this kind of ship is an honor of the highest degree and often left only to the most skilled of captains and pilots. Of course, the ships are also slow and expensive to upkeep and so many crewmembers jokingly call them “moving space stations”.

==Kosmostrelki==
[[File:Komostrelkiposter.png|200px|thumb|right|People's Republic of Adhomai propaganda poster for the recruitment of the Kosmostrelki.]]

The PRA has always been known for substituting quality with quantity. However, this sentiment had to be tweaked for space combat as their ships, cheap as they are, are still hard and expensive to replace for the government. This makes the Kosmostrelki some of the best-trained troops in the PRA roster. The Kosmostrelki are usually trained in the martial art of Baghrar, both to instill discipline and help with their balance. They are also capable sharpshooters, understand advanced first aid, and are drilled in the repair and upkeep of the spaceships they inhabit. While there are specialized medics and engineers, all Kosmostrelki are expected to know how to improvise their way out of any emergency.

There is a rumor among other troops that the Kosmostrelki have a high amount of deserters. Due to how easy it would be to run away into space. However, these claims are unsupported.

==Republican Defensive Robots==
Most heavy Republican ships carry a detachment of very outdated combat robots brought from Solarian military surplus. They are equipped with forward-facing shielding, a power-saw, and various ballistic armaments. These robots operate with a team of 4 Kosmostrelki who are responsible for its continued operation and are only deployed in boarding actions where no hostages are expected. These robots have a rudimentary AI and can perform only the most simple tasks outside of combat.

The People's Republic was once unable to manufacture the defensive robots, relying solely on maintenance to make them sustainable. This changed in 2463 with the opening of the first Hadiist self-sufficient robotics factory. The PRA can now produce these automatons without external help.

==Okon 001==
The first observation post built on the moon, originally constructed by the Jargon Federation and named Site B2134. Its original purpose was to observe the Tajara people, but after their rapid ascension to space-age technology, the observation post was abandoned and sold to the PRA for a suspiciously low price. It was subsequently renamed to Okon 001, which translates to "Eye" in Siik'maas.

Afterward, it remained unused for several years due to a lack of trained Tajara scientists to operate it, leading to its disrepair.
During the second revolution, it was manned by forty crewmembers, finally getting some much-needed maintenance. During this time it was used to spy on the enemy activity as well as reporting possible pirate and smuggling activity. This is the longest known official Tajara space deployment, lasting from the beginning of the second war until the end. Afterward, all forty-one crewmembers were inspected, and outside of the expected bone elongations, slight muscle entropy, and audio-visual hallucinations all were declared perfectly healthy.

Okon 001 is still in use, manned by much smaller crews of five who are rotated out every month and have varying skill levels depending on the mission they’re carrying out. Janitors, engineers, doctors, scientists, and even common miners have been part of Okon crew. Regardless, all Okon's crews modify their suits with lights, each one wearing a different color to recognize each other without having to use the radio. Many choose to keep them afterward.

=Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai=

The Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai's presence in space relies solely on the large fleet of smugglers sympathetic to the Al'mariist cause. However, projects to create some kind of military presence is currently underway.

==Free Gakal'Zaal Station==
Gakal'zaal station has been a very recent addition to the DPRA space capability. This addition has been heralded as a stepping stone to the first DPRA fleet, with its spaceyard capable of manufacturing up to medium-sized ships.
The Free Gakal'zaal Station, originally known as Makar Castle, is an orbital station floating around the planet. The facility was built by the Unathi to serve as their seat of power; it was abandoned after the planet joined the Democratic People’s Republic. The facility was taken over by the Tajara and turned into a spaceport. It has also become a smuggler's haven, as thanks to them, the large-scale transports of men and materials were possible. Now they enjoy a degree of immunity from the authorities, creating a large black market on the station.

=New Kingdom of Adhomai=

The New Kingdom of Adhomai has the weakest grasp on space of all Adhomian factions. The Kingdom has made some progress in amending this issue by purchasing civilian ships from megacorporations.

==Her Majesty’s Mercantile Flotilla==

Established in 2463, the Her Majesty’s Mercantile Flotilla is a conglomerate of Royalist companies involved in intergalactic trade. Since the end of the Armistice, the New Kingdom has been purchasing civilian ships from NanoTrasen and Hephaestus Industries. These spacecraft were then sold to the Kingdom's national companies, under the condition that they would join a trading company under the government's supervision.

While the Mercantile Flotilla may bring wealth to the New Kingdom, it has further increased the economy's dependence on Megacorporations. Due to the lack of a proper space military force, the defense of the fleet is entirely dependent on protection contracts signed with extranational entities - such as the SCC. The New Kingdom is also unable to build ships; the Mercantile Flotilla relies solely on foreign corporations for repairs and acquiring new spacecraft.

Mictlan

2021-09-27T12:56:21Z

Coalf: /* History */ Changed the part about the Jewel world, was inaccurate

{{Navbox Lore}}
{{Navbox Human Lore}}
[[File:Mictlan flag new.png|thumb|The flag of Mictlan as a planet in the Republic of Biesel.]]
A primarily aquatic world with jungle-speckled Islands making up all of its geological landmasses. Mictlan’s poles are insignificant compared to Earth’s. This, and other evidence, leads scientists to believe that the planet was originally not aquatic in nature but more Earth-like in the past.

The planet is a democratic state with the highest echelons being dominated by local corporate and Idris money and power, while not as extreme as Eridani or Biesel, it was an outlier among the Solarian planets. This has led to stratification, with most of the population living on oceanic installations while tourists and corporate sponsors enjoy their life on the little mainland there is.

==Flora and Fauna==

Although initially a worry of some scientific communities, the native species of Mictlan have formed symbiotic relationships with the foreign species, baffling the settlers. Those that haven’t are considered protected, and it’s illegal to hunt them or attempt to domesticate them. Xenobiology is a popular field in Mictlan, with the Tupac Amaru University having coordinated efforts with the Skrell to study many of them that hide deep in the jungles and swamps.

The official animal of Mictlan is referred to as the Aztlanian llama. This animal is the most characteristic species of Mictlan with a longer neck than its human counterpart, an affinity for submerging in baths almost daily, and a protective layer of water-resistant fur covering their soft and heat-insulating wool. Another important species is Buxton’s Alpaca, a hybrid of llama and alpaca: with their willingness to work, nutritious meat, and luxurious wool, even the poorest settlers of Mictlan found their place on the planet. Both the hybrid and the common Mictlanian llama have thermic adaptive properties, which are known for being fresh in the summer and retaining the heat in the winter. The popularity has also created a growing industry of textiles in Mictlan with many corporations competing to dominate this market galaxy-wide.

A native domesticated animal is the Arequipan cow. While only vaguely resembling their earth counterpart, they are similar in that they provide the settlers with milk. This milk has unique properties that even lactose-intolerant individuals can ingest without issue. The main crux is the Arequipan bull, a male member of the species that are extremely territorial and aggressive. According to polls, Arequipa bulls are responsible for 15% of deaths in the farming industry.

Flora-wise the large amount of insects present on Mictlan seem to have contributed to their assimilation into the local ecosystem. Establishing evolutionary links that would have otherwise taken millions of years to develop in less than a century. This allowed Mictlan to produce harvests much sooner than other settlements and acquire food independence early on. Currently, the largest harvests come in the forms of wine and coconut oil.

==Population and Society==

According to the most recent polls conducted in 2457, Mictlanian society boasted the largest amount of Xenos in Solarian society but with their inclusion in the Republic of Biesel, they have been trumped by Biesel. Regardless, Mictlan remains very popular among all alien species and the society and government of Mictlan are much less judgemental of these foreign immigrants, though the majority of the planet's population is human. Among the most numerous are Skrell, followed by Unathi, Dionaea, and finally Vaurcae. Sol Common is the official language of Mictlan and is spoken by nearly all of its human population, however Tau Ceti Basic is a second language that most, alien or human, on the planet know in order to communicate with the other species on Mictlan.

Most of the population lives on metallic oceanic constructions that have been established since the first settlers arrived. These sturdy buildings have been expanded over time and now entire cities rest on their plasteel shoulders. While breakdowns are not uncommon, a major accident has not occurred in 50 years and these cities are just as safe as any other. The mainland, the little there is, is mostly reserved for natural reserves, agriculture, and rich corporate sponsors and tourists. Most Mictlanians never step on the soil of Mictlan throughout their lives.

==History==
Mictlan was not the original target for the South and Central American colonists whose descendants now inhabit it, instead, it became an accidental one after they were forced into an emergency landing. The captain of the original colonization fleet, codename: Tlaloc, whose name has been removed from the records to protect his descendants, excessively mishandled the allocation of resources during their long voyage, focusing more on the comfort of the first-class clientele. This had resulted in a lack of fuel, food, and other resources that forced them to make an emergency landing two years prior to reaching their intended target.

The colonists already lacked the expertise and technology to comfortably adapt to an aquatic planet, and with the captain’s refusal to change his behavior casualties mounted. An attempt was made to challenge the captain’s leadership by contacting the Sol government, however, the continued failures of the colonists to meet quotas led to them being largely ignored. Thus a revolution was inevitable. During this insurrection, the captain alongside other colony heads was murdered, and the newly appointed government began calling itself the Movimiento Fundación. This explosion of violence finally caught the interest of the Sol government, who immediately sent out an armed force to rescue the survivors and re-establish law and order.

The movement did not last long against such an overwhelming force and democracy was re-established. A new head for the colony was chosen and with the continued efforts the possibilities of underwater logging and uranium mining became apparent, corporations began to invest in Mictlan, building up infrastructure and worker force. During this time, the newly established colonial government led a “War on Waste”, to preserve the natural beauty of Mictlan. This included the nationalization of small private businesses that created too much waste, higher fees to secure intellectual property rights, and the introduction of new fines targeting the Mictlanians for littering. It was clear to the colonists at the time this was a transparent attempt to prevent a surge of small-time businesses but with an armed force present, the concerns went unvoiced.

Today, Mictlan is a democratic state like many others and until recently one of the many planets belonging to Sol. Its beautiful and verdant landscapes, largely undisturbed by the usual tinkering and biome modification, provide a great source of rich tourists who wish to see nature in its rawest and also safest state. Bountiful aquaculture and agriculture create an environment of rich harvests and excess fruit production and the great Uranium deposits allow for constant streams of credits to enter the economy. Still, the planet is plagued with hostile laws targetting those who would wish to strike out big, most of the excess food is exported and very few of the locals get to live in the luxurious hotels dotting the large cities. This issue has only increased in recent years, as misleading marketing has led to many aliens hoping for a better future in Mictlan, ultimately ending up stuck in the lower rings. With a corporate structure choking out any attempts to ascend the social classes.

==Culture==

Mictlanian culture is strongly based on its South American roots. As such, Mictlan is known for large-scale and colorful parades, strong religious beliefs, exotic cuisine, and well-established artists. These experiences are often provided to tourists, however safely packaged and toned down, to not disturb the façade of corporate professionalism. Thus one can’t really claim they have been part of the Mictlanian life if their only experience with the culture was from a polished hotel. The native life can be found in the metallic streets of the oceanic constructs. While one might assume these metallic structures are drab, depressing, and boring, Mictlanians have made them their own. Upon entry, the streets explode in colors as artists and sprayers are encouraged to fill the walls and roofs with designs. Frequent motifs being caricatures of political figures, hopeful messages, large elaborate paintings, and other comical or positive art. Mictlanians who travel off-world frequently carry this habit with them, turning their streets or neighborhoods into colorful tapestries.

The Mictlanian household is built around community and many families often live together in interconnected houses with greenhouse roofs, that are framed around large cemented patios. These host huge celebrations, music, food, and drinks are provided and consumed freely by all present, although everyone is expected to add even a little bit to the menu. The celebrations can range from grandiose weddings or religious holidays to a simple meetup at the grill to unwind after work. Frankly, to a Mictlanian, any day is a good day to spend with your loved ones. A frequent sight at these celebrations is the Mictlanian pulque. This alcoholic beverage boasts a higher alcohol content than its Earthen counterpart as the environment of Mictlan allows for a much stronger agave extract. In closing, family and community are everything to a Mictlanian, and a Mictlanian will rarely emigrate without their family.
A less popular aspect of Mictlanian life is their view on the concept of “intellectual property”. With high fees following the copyright law reforms the relationship of the locals with the idea of an idea belonging to one person has shifted. The unintentional side-effect being that regardless of how well you attempt to secure your idea or intellectual property, someone on Mictlan will copy it and repackage it as their own. Initially, the police cracked down on these cases when it came to their large corporate clients, but as this sentiment spread it has become impossible to contain this wave of bootlegging. Now even the biggest corporations are not safe and even their own private corporate forces fail to enforce the law. This means that Mictlan is a pirate’s haven: “cracked” games, pirated movies, and homemade VR are sold both on the street and in official stores, the owners being just as likely to put “Swam Nebulas” and “Swimstars” on the same shelf. And alongside the destruction of intellectual property rights, came a sky-high rate of cyber-crime. Over 12% of all cyber-attacks in the universe are traced back to Mictlan and both large and small entities find themselves as the sharp end of a variable. This being one of the few, or only, avenues on Mictlan where a single man can make a fortune and climb from nothing.

But with underhanded deals comes political violence and a group calling themselves the “Founding Movement”, referencing the “Movimiento Fundación” has begun a series of political campaigns and attacks. Their initial memo was attacking Sol websites, sabotaging local elections, and leaking government files, their statement was clear, no more Sol dependency and the protection of artist’s rights and intellectual properties. But recently, as violence in Sol escalated, they carried out multiple physical terrorist acts. The most prolific being the murder of Marlene Pessoa, a pro-Sol actress and a Mictlanian local. The authorities hoped that after the collapse of Sol and integration into Biesel their actions would cease, but they have only escalated. The group now seeks complete independence and refuses to take no for an answer.

===Fashion===

There is a long-standing tradition of masks on Mictlan, usually made of wood and in varied expressions. Mictlanians use these masks for important events, painted in bright colors for celebrations, while black and white are used for mourning, be it personal or public. Protestors, rebel groups, and Founders have also adopted these masks, often giving them a terrifying visage. Wearing a mask is certainly not a daily thing, and a person’s celebratory or mourning masks are viewed as extremely personal, being one of the few things considered taboo to copy and replicated en-mass. Early on, corporations attempted to levy a ban on them, but their cultural significance resulted in planet-wide backlash. Thus, the only requirement is that masked employees wear their identification visibly.

Tattoos and piercings are very popular in Mictlan and are considered the standard among the locals. Even the cleanest corporate will often sport at least a few tattoos on his face if he is a Mictlanian local, to them, it is a form of self-expression, a way to non-verbally communicate their allegiances, beliefs, or values. Sometimes removal is unavoidable, however, as Eridanian suits will often press any Mictlanians under their employ to remove their tattoos completely. The abundance of aquatic life has led to tattoo ink solutions based on Grumbo Squid ink becoming widespread and popular, even endorsed as healthy by certain "physical therapists" and "health gurus". The most popular motif is the coloring of the whole upper face, right above the nose, with the most popular color being red, but white and blue are also frequently used. Piercings are often used in combination with these tattoos, septum and lip piercings being the most popular. Stainless steel is used the most often, gold being actually quite unpopular among the locals as it’s seen as a mark of corporatism on a person. Indeed, all designs that appear too “contemporary” or “mainstream” are very unpopular with native Mictlanians, usually only see on corporatists who don’t mind having a brand etched onto their face. This means that most tattooing businesses are run by the locals, as corporates have found little success in their own tattoo parlors.

==Major Cities==
===Arequipa===
A mainland city and a self-proclaimed shining jewel of Mictlan, Arequipa houses the national museum, the governing body of Mictlan, and one of the few spaceyards on Mictlan capable of holding a Zhukov-class carrier. Arequipa isn’t constructed as a traditional city, instead being a collection of large towers called “Canopies”, which are interconnected through a series of sound-proof glass tunnels. This allows the fauna beneath these cities to travel undisturbed while the many white-collar and tourist citizens are graced with a day-to-day view of these beasts. This of course comes at the cost of transportation as the only way around is hyper-elevators and self-driving trams.
Arequipa is often called the “cultural heart” of Mictlan, with a large number of white-collar workers, artists, singers, and dancers present to entertain the visiting tourists. The general population would regard this as a blatant farce, as the “Mictlanian experience” one gets at Arequipa is about as authentic as the glass walls of their towers. The culture in Arequipa is packaged and presented in a safe and easily digestible way, not to scare away the shareholders and companies. Still, even a well-presented and well-oiled machine needs workers to maintain it, and the closest one gets to Mictlanian culture inside of Arequipa is when visiting the slums situated in the maintenance tunnels and worker apartments of the Canopies.

===Sikunda===
An ocean city, the largest and one of many dotting the surface of Mictlan. Sikunda is considered the second (by some the real) capital of Mictlan and boasts higher population numbers than its official capital, Arequipa. Its large platforms are dotted with maze-like interconnected housing structures, factories, and production facilities. Jobs are available everywhere on Sikunda, but the vast majority are low-skill which also means providing little pay. And while the population managed under the Solarian government, the assimilation into the Republic of Biesel is now threatening the welfare and healthcare laws that kept the population of Sikunda relatively safe.
One might imagine Sikunda to be a large grey maze, depressing and drab, full of sunken faces akin to the slums of Eridani, yet the exact opposite is true. Mictlanians have made the rig truly theirs, each street boasts a painted landscape, graffiti, or colorful slogan. Colorful tapestries hang from the windows and small shrines dot the dead-ends of streets. Sikunda teems with life during the night, families and communities celebrating on their shared patios and drinking together into the late hours of the night. Sikunda also seems to be the center for cybercrime, as the majority of all attacks come from said city. While the local authorities and corporate sponsors consider this an issue, locals to Sikunda rarely snitch on these pirate stations.

===Lago de Abundancia===
[[File:Lago de Abundencia.png|thumb|The skyline of Lago de Abundencia.]]
Lago de Abundancia is a coastal city that was built with older earth architecture in mind during the early years of settlement. Its presence was never very well established as it mostly existed for agricultural reasons, however, in 2412 Idris invested heavily into Lago de Abundancia, transforming it into a proper competitor of Arequipa. Lago de Abundancia is now the second biggest tourist haven on the planet, promising wide beaches, big waves, and warm waters. Lago de Abundancia boasts the Spur's biggest and most diverse aquarium in the form of an entertainment park dubbed, Ocean Planet™.

The people of Lago de Abundancia hold themselves in high regard, being proud of their achievement to turn their small coastal town into a bustling metropolis with a skyrocketing economy but these boasts hide a very insidious truth, that Lago de Abundancia has an issue with crime. Idris' refusal to boost the funding for public police while handling all security privately has led to the outside communities of farmers and workers being harassed daily by large criminal organizations and loan sharks. It is also the central operating area of the Founding Movement.

==Foreigners on Mictlan==
===Humans===
Mictlanians have a reputation as friendly people, a reputation that can be quite misleading to outsiders as instead of an open welcome they’re more likely to get cautious looks shortly after immigration. It is, however, true that the public is much more accepting of outsiders, and humans who decide to settle in Mictlan are integrated into their communal society quite speedily. The same, however, cannot be said of tourists, who can find it off-putting and even dangerous to wander the streets outside of their luxurious canopy hotels. The locals are also not particularly welcoming of military forces or soldiers on leave, the past military interventions of Sol leaving a multi-generational scar. This includes even the TCFL, who are often surprised to not be welcomed as heroes when they decide to choose Mictlan for their leave.

===Skrell===
Skrell have found it very easy to adapt to Mictlan, the environment is after all a perfect fit for their species. Yet, they can find it very difficult to fit in, mainly the older generations. While yes, skrell also lead communal lives, they’re much more different than the more energetic and exciting bustle of the Mictlanian streets. Residing skrell can often find the constant physical contact, gratingly positive atmosphere, and energetic drinking, exhausting. Still, Mictlanian skrell are known as some of the most communal, no doubt a result of the environment. The largest Mictlanian university, the Arequipan Institute of Ecology and Natural Sciences, which as the name implies is a leading institution in the field of organic sciences, has Xaal Qaqii, a skrell, as its president. Many Skrell originating from Mictlan choose the medical or one of the many xenosciences fields, with the institute being more than able to equip them for it.

===Unathi===
After skrell the second most numerous species and also the one that fits in the best.

===Tajara===
Tajara have always struggled on Mictlan due to the heat, and their own prejudiced views of humans did not help them accommodate, instead, they have created isolated ghettos where they continue to live out their own personal cultures. This issue was only exasperated with the third Tajara ban, the narrow streets of the steel-rigs leading to much collateral damage which resulted in a lower opinion on the Tajara immigrants, as well as a negative view of the natives by the Tajara. Still the mills of time affected even these people, and slowly but surely their communities are opening up to Mictlan, with the youngest generations leading the charge to trans-species cooperation. Still, there is a long road ahead of them and the two cultures, one family-oriented and open, the other likewise but closed off, often come at heads with each other. Tajara from Mictlan are often experienced engineers, being initially employed to handle and maintain the cooling devices keeping the cities in live-able conditions.
