= People's Republic of Adhomai =

Led by [[Notable Tajara#President Njadrasanukii Hadii|President Njadrasanukii Hadii]], the Peoples 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.

= History =

The People's Republic of Adhomai was established in 2431 as the sole ruling government in Adhomai following its victory in the First Revolution. With the popular leader Al'mari Hadii as their first president, they were able to enact deep reforms, such as the distribution of land, the establishment of state schools, and healthcare. Despite the recent changes, the planet of Adhomai was still bound to humanity and NanoTrasen, a relation that brought several benefits, but caused resentment among most supporters of the Hadiist ideology, as they believed that the Tajaran species could only be truly free if they were allowed to make their own path without the interference of the alien.

In 2449, while the royalist rebellion happened in the shadows, Al’mari decided to change his policy in regard to NanoTrasen. New economic policies unfavorable to NanoTrasen were enacted, alongside the denunciations aimed towards humanity’s imperialism and the necessity of a free Adhomai. This new position caused discontentment among many that were gaining profit with the presence of the Megacorporation on the planet.

President Al'mari was assassinated in 2451, one year after the royalist rebellion in Northern Harr'masir exploded. Al'mari's brother, Njadrasanukii Hadii, took over the office of the presidency while rolling back the economic reforms implemented two years prior. The head of the armed forces, Nated'Hakhan, attempted a failed coup with the support of many other generals, triggering the creation of the Adhomai Liberation Army.

The following ten years were marked by the Second Revolution; the conflict between the People’s Republic of Adhomai, the Adhomai Liberation Army, and the New Kingdom of Adhomai. During this period, several authoritarian measures were enacted by the government, such as the establishment of working camps for subversive elements and increased persecution of the Ruvska’ard or those from rebellious regions. Despite the presence of a strong economy and modern army, the PRA found themselves in a disadvantageous position in the war during 2461, losing important territories and battles. Without the support of the Sol Alliance, lost due to the recent friction caused by their poor relations, many feared that the People’s Republic may not survive in the upcoming years. Saved due to a coalition of allied alien states and mercenaries, the People's Republic was able to survive the conflict and secure peace through an armistice. Despite losing supremacy over Adhomai, they still control wealthy and populated territories and possess a better standing with the overall galactic community.

Post-war reality has seemed a bittersweet view. The PRA’s industrial might and strong hand have guided it to a prosperous growth in recent times. It has grown to be the shining jewel of Adhomai. However, times seem uncertain. The shortage of phoron has begun to seep into the nation, threatening the already fragile house of cards. As President Njadrasanukii Hadii grows old, many in the upper echelons fear the coming storm may only be worsened by a stagnating economy. With the Spur in a place of decline, there is little perceived help from beyond. The future, to those who dare pay attention to the warning signs behind the propaganda, is tumultuous.

= Culture and Society =

The Republican government seeks to create a single monolithic culture for the Tajara under the ideological vision of Hadiism. The suppression of the ethnic caste system installed by the previous noble rule is one of the goals of the People’s Republic that has been reached with little success, as such divisions are still deeply entrenched in the Tajaran people. The republican culture places a large emphasis on the importance of the collective over the individual interest, with each Tajara being considered as a piece in the machinery of the Tajaran society. PRA citizens are educated on the importance of preserving their union and how factionalism is dangerous to their own species.

Deviation from the established cultural and societal expectations can result in ostracization by the population and government. Regional identities and other alternative trends are suppressed and deemed as subversive. Due to such, M'sai, Zhan, and Ruvska'ard communities are often persecuted by the authorities and have an overall negative image before the eyes of the Republican masses. Loyalty to the Hadii party is a common trait among the citizens of the Republic, as much of the recent success and conquests of the Tajara species can be attributed to the popular leader Al'mari Hadii and his ideals. The fear of the secret service is also a present factor among the urban population of the PRA cities, especially as unrest from the economic downturn spreads across less fortunate cities.

Rural life is remarkably different from that of their urban counterparts. Communal farms necessitate a simple and disciplined lifestyle. Farmers wake early to fill their quotas. Most farms utilize basic mechanization permitting shorter work hours. While previous advanced farms using human technology had the shortest work hours, with some using semi-automated equipment, the shortage of phoron has led to many augmenting the struggling technology with hard labor.

Those in the resource extraction industry, such as mining or logging, have stable hours comparable to factory workers. Corporate operations have above average wages and other wide-reaching benefits afforded by NanoTrasen. Even as the phoron shortage grips the PRA, corporate mines hold a high priority in the phoron rationing program. As such, they are highly sought after positions by those fleeing the unemployment of the cities. State-run operations are very stable, promising a consistent wage, hours, food, and on-site housing albeit at below average pay, and little upward mobility.

Ruralities across the PRA have been experiencing an unexpected rise in immigration from urban centers. Due in large part to high unemployment, overstrained welfare, and overbearing secret police, many unemployed Tajara have chosen to find new opportunities among the wide open plains of the Hadiist countryside. This has led to tension between the urbanites and ruralites. The food shortages already present in rural regions continue to be worsened by the growing population, and rural centers struggle to account for the increased demand in housing. Those from the ruralities are known to be more conservative, however devoted Hadiists thanks to the benefits afforded by the Republic.

Urban life in the PRA varies based on the Tajara’s occupation, education, and standing with the Party. Most cities are built on a strong blue-collar population working the numerous state and corporate run factories. State-run factories boast stable but strict work hours. Eight or nine hour work schedules are observed, with 1 day of the week free. These factories provide free meals and average but stable salaries. Corporate-run factories boast a variety of work hours, although the average are 8 hour work schedules with two days free. Despite having a higher than average salary, it is highly dependent on the factory being in operation, and does not afford the free meals found in State-run factories. As phoron rationing leads to less operational hours for corporate-factories, this has led to unsteady paychecks. Party members, researchers, military officers, and other educated professionals usually have access to more services and luxuries, including increasingly unaffordable human-produced goods. Political dynasties, such as the Hadii, occupy the echelons of Republican urban society, controlling the industry and government. Criminal organizations are a growing presence in the cities, controlling legal and illegal businesses. Many less fortunate Tajara become mules and frontmen for the black market phoron trade, or the growing drug market.

A notable unemployed population is growing in many of the major cities. With corporate-run factories slowing operations, cutting staff, or outright shutting down, numerous factory workers have become dropped in a slim job market. Being reliant on an overstrained welfare program, life is spent between servings at the soup kitchen and spartan conditions in brutalist communal apartments. Few cities have begun to slow the momentum of the rising unemployment through rapid expansion of state-run factories, while the remaining suffer from growing unrest, lethargic government services, and increasing emigration from urban to rural centers.

The Republic affords its citizens a robust education system. Primary through secondary education are compulsory across the nation. All children are given a political education on the principles of and loyalty to Hadiism alongside typical courses. While traditionally all kids would go through secondary school, then enter post-secondary education or enter the workforce, [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/7/#findComment-182543 recent initiatives] by the Party have segmented secondary education into three categories: trades, arts, and higher education. Children are assigned the trades, the arts, or preparatory schooling based on a series of tests. Children are able to transfer to different schools if their performance is not sufficient in their assigned school.

Republican loyalists commonly greet each other by saying: "Hadii's grace, comrade".

Extended families are common in rural communities, while being less prevalent in urban centers. Couples leave their parents' homes after marriage, usually moving to a state-issued apartment. Due to the population loss caused by the conflict, there are incentives, such as tax cuts, welfare benefits, and better homes, for couples to have children. Despite the traditional Tajara family still being the basic unit of the PRA society, the government is trying to change it. Daycare centers aimed to fully raise children in the Hadiist principles have begun to be tested; in these facilities, the contact with the biological parents is minimal in favor of treating the individual as part of a bigger system. Some visionary hadiists have considered replacing biological reproduction with more technologically advanced alternatives, such as cloning or extending one's life with augmentation.

Due to the Hadiist revolutionary thought and the rejection of the older order, there is a policy of total gender equality. Female and male Tajara have the same rights, with the state making no distinction in any of its fields, including the military. The conscription, such as the one called in 2458, calls all able citizens regardless of gender. This practice allows the PRA to bolster its forces without affecting the workforce during wartime. Marriages are often seen as a formality to create a family, with the religious part being separated from the civil one. Same-sex marriage is not recognized by the Hadiist state, but some Young Hadiists have been campaigning for such. Transgender Tajara may have an easier time in the Hadiist society due to its vision of gender, but the medical technology and support are still in their early stages.

Due to the lingering prejudice, the overall Hadiist society considers relationships between different ethnicities to be negative. While the government places no official sanction on mixed couples, older officials will often discriminate. Visionary and Young Hadiists believe that the government should promote mixed relationships to further dismantle the Njarir caste system.
== Religion ==

The People’s Republic of Adhomai possesses no official religion, as it is a secular state by its constitution. Most of the population identify themselves as followers of the S'rand'marr Worship or the Ma’ta’ke pantheon. Irreligious and atheists tendencies are growing each day, as many Hadiists consider the traditional religions as fictitious chains created by the old Njarir masters to control their serfs.

Despite being in the territory of the PRA, the holy city of Sana Sahira enjoys a large degree of freedom from the centralized authority of the state. Foreign missionaries are permitted in the Republican territory, but their activity and presence are closely monitored by the authorities.

== Language ==

Siik’maas is recognized as the official language of the People’s Republic of Adhomai, used in all official documents and taught in schools. The use and learning of other Tajaran languages are discouraged by the education system that works to establish a single universal tongue for all of its population. Siik'tajr is used exclusively by the military and is not allowed to be taught to non-active military personnel. Speaking and teaching Delvahhi, Ya'ssa, or Nal'rasan as a People's Republic citizen is currently a crime. For children, it is child abuse as the state argues that these languages perpetuate negative cultural values and lead to worse lives for children. For adults, speaking these languages is considered harassment and teaching is incitement to crime. Heavy fines are used to enforce this and on repeat offences criminals may face prison time. Human languages do not face similar punishments as they are deemed important to Tajaran economic success abroad.
== Cuisine ==

After the great war, the great majority of the land was confiscated from the nearly extinct Adhomian nobility and distributed among the peasant population. Complex agricultural projects and farms run directly by the State were attempted. Early results were less than favorable and caused dissatisfaction in the rural population who chafed under overbearing bureaucrats who skimmed their yields to sell on the black market. Al'mari Hadii attempted to break this up shortly before his assassination. Njadrasanukii Hadii took his brother's project on and allowed more freedom to the peasants while adopting modern human farming equipment offered by NanoTrasen. Mechanized agriculture is a growing phenomenon in the republic’s territory, albeit a double edged sword.

Many of the mechanized farms reliant on NanoTrasen technology have begun to feel the heavy weight of phoron dependency. The phoron rationing system within the Hadiist Republic has led to increasingly bitter rivalries between different agricultural communities, and a decline in production of staple crops. While many lesser farms or those that were forced to wait for less efficient Hadiist alternatives have continued with less concern, their potential yields have led to a lower priority within the government, a stance still maintained despite the clear warning signs against the phoron-dependent farms.

Due to a lethargic bureaucratic system, and mismanagement of resources, the food shortage is rarely felt in the city where many supply lines lead. Rural regions, however, commonly experience food shortages. In attempts to smooth over the unsteady presence of crops, many families plant small gardens at home. Other individuals wanting more variety, and willing to work with unscrupulous businesses, can find all manner of food smuggled back from the cities to the ruralities on the black market.

While the People’s republic territory includes several different regional cultures, it is possible to find common culinary traditions among its population. Bread, baked with flour produced from a variation of the Blizzard Ears, is considered an essential part of a worker’s breakfast. Salt-cured Fatshouters’ meat also has been introduced widely, facilitated by the recent advances in livestock husbandry techniques. Canned food and alien goods are an uncommon sight in republican cities, imported by NanoTrasen’s subsidiary Getmore. The technological advances provided by the revolution allowed the population to have contact with more exotic dishes, besides granting more freedom of creation to Tajaran chefs, now that electricity and refrigeration are not only restricted to the nobility.

=== Notable Dishes ===

*'''Zkah'nkowa:''' a canned variety of the Fatshouter Bloodpudding, known for its low-fat content and lighter color. It was created shortly after the First Revolution to ease the food shortage after the conflict. Its low cost and nutritious value allowed it to become a staple of the Hadiist diet.

*'''Rikazu:''' small pies descended from the [[Tajara#Notable_Dishes|Thamo]]. They are often hand-sized, usually made by folding dough, overstuffed with fruit and cream cheese and commonly served hot. The simple preparation makes it a fast favorite, and the versatility of the ingredients has gained favor with Tajara of all creeds. Different variations of Rikazu pop up all over Adhomai, some filled with meats, or vegetables, or even imported ingredients, like chocolate filling.

*'''Sarmikhir:''' a fat sour-tasting cream made from Fatshouters' milk. Sarmikhir is mainly used as a spread; Adhomian bread is habitually consumed with it during the Hadiist breakfast. The cream is also used as a condiment and blended with salads and soups. Sarmikhir is sold at room temperature in cans or wrapped in foil.

=== Notable Beverages ===

*'''Victory Gin:''' considered the official drink of the People's Republic of Adhomai, Victory Gin was created to celebrate the end of the revolution. It is commonly found in NanoTrasen’s stations, due to a contract that allows the government to supply the corporation, and in the Tajaran communities of Tau Ceti. The destruction of Victory Gin's bottles and reserves was widespread when Republican positions and cities were taken by the opposition as the drink is deemed by many as a symbol of the Hadiist regime.

*'''Hro'zamal Soda:''' a soft drink made from the seed's powder of the Hro'zamal Ras'Nifs, a plant native to [[Hro'zamal]]. While initially consumed as an herbal tea by the colonists, it was introduced to Adhomai by the Army Expeditionary Force and transformed into a carbonated drink. The beverage is popular with factory workers and university students because of its stimulant effect. Much of Hro'zamal's agriculture was switched to planting the crops needed to supply soda production.

*'''Khlibnyz:''' a fermented beverage produced from Adhomian bread. Herbs, fruits, and tree sap can be added for flavoring. It is considered a non-alcoholic drink by Adhomian standards because of its very low alcohol content. Khlibnyz was mainly consumed by peasants during pre-contact times and is still very popular with the Hadiist rural population. Communal farms brew their own Khlibnyz and sell it to the government for distribution. The drink was involved in a controversy when the People's Republic tried to export it to human colonies as a soft drink, unaware of the alien standards.

=== Military Nutrition ===

The republican army is the best equipped among the warring factions of Adhomai, being supplied by NanoTrasen and other outworld supporters. Canned goods and modern rations are issued to all branches of the Republic’s military. Native field meals are composed of salt-cured Fatshouters’ meat, bread, and Victory Gin. Imported liqui-food rations, once a lucrative business for NanoTrasen, has become disfavorable as the cost of import rises above the cost of home production.

== Fashion ==

Having direct and friendly contact with humanity, The People's Republic of Adhomai has been the most influenced by the spacer fashion. The most known is the "assistant jumpsuits" which directly inspired the design of factory overalls, the plight and low pay of the assistants are close to the hearts of Hadiist Tajara and their Republic. However, outside of work attire, the Republic has attempted to quell humanization, preferring and encouraging simple and natural colors for civilians, hoping to stifle any thoughts that someone's neighbor has it better than them. One interesting rise is in the nylon industry. Nylon being stretchy, accommodating, and see-through yet very warm makes it the perfect wear for any Tajara, mainly soldiers and dockers who spend hours outside in the cold biting environment. However with the vast majority of nylon originating from the corporations, it has become a high-priced commodity.

Tail adornments have recently become very unpopular, being quoted as a "Reminder of the shackles the Njarir had on us", yet still the younger Tajara who do not remember the rebellions have taken a liking to these. Piercings are also popular with youngsters, who have observed this behavior from humans. Curiously it has also become common among soldiers and outlaws who pierce their skin with gold, silver, or coinage. This way one can hide a substantial amount of money under their fur.

Fur dye was once a banned item within the People's Republic. Seen as a symbol of loyalty to the nobility, thanks to its historical use, many who fought for the revolution found a disdain of the practice. It was only until President Malik Hadii unbanned fur dyes that the practice saw a resurgence. While the official record stated that such practices were unbanned for the use by soldiers and true Hadiists to symbolize their patriotism, the truth lies not far away. Convicts, test subjects, and all manner of those under the control of the Republic's Ministries find their backs marked with dye for identification and, importantly, to prevent escapees from hiding. Regardless, modern use of fur dye among the populace is largely for practical or patriotic reasons. Self-expression is a growing trend in the cities, however great scrutiny is placed on what these expressions display by the National Police Department.

=== President Hadii Badges ===

President Hadii badges are metal pins and medals bearing the image of Njadrasanukii Hadii. Created during the dawn of the First Revolution, these objects were crafted and worn by the Hadiist to identify themselves in opposition to Nated. The first ones were made with crude materials. In the early stages of the Hadii cult of personality, badges were only officially issued to celebrate events and special dates. In the later moments of the Second Revolution, they were mass fabricated and used as displays of loyalty to the Party. A thousand variations exist; some models are exclusively sold to tourists visiting the PRA. Some individuals are known to collect them.

== Music ==

The music in the People’s Republic of Adhomai typically deals with patriotic themes; focusing on the political struggles of the Tajaran people and the great accomplishments of the Party and President Hadii. While folk instruments are still widely present, it is not uncommon for alien techniques to be used in musical productions. Artists can only perform in public areas and publish their works with the express approval of the government. Censorship is a common obstacle that many producers encounter. [[Notable Tajara#Yasmin Piaf|Yasmin Piaf]] is one of the most famous Republican artists.

Hadiist war songs during the first years of the second civil war used to boast about their technological and numerical superiority, claiming that the rebels would be swiftly crushed. During the later stages of the conflict; the theme quickly changed to call for the steadfast defense of the Republican lands and the preservation of their nation before the advancing enemy.

=== National Anthem ===

The current People's Republic's national anthem was chosen shortly after the ascension of President Hadii to power. The song portrays Malik's rule as reinvigorating and as the rightful continuation of Al'mari's government.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:25%; overflow:auto;">
'''State Anthem of the People's Republic of Adhomai'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
<poem>
The flag is moving in the morning sky,
With our first step as important as the winds,
Do they hear the winds, rustling again?
The winds of mighty attacks!

And our march is going on again!
And the heart is uneasy in our chest,
And the Republic is young again!
And the youth of Hadii are young again!
Now our march is going on again!
And the Republic is young again!
And the youth of Hadii are young again!

Don't wait on mercies from the Sun!
Don't spare their lives for truth!
In this life, comrades,
We have our own truth!

There are heat and snow in this world,
The world is young and rich,
The youth of Hadii is with them!
Onwards!
</poem>
</div></div>

== Literature ==

Literature in the People’s Republic is heavily regulated and influenced by the Party. To secure government control over the field the '''Tajaran Union of Writers''' was established, an organization responsible for dictating the writing norms and acceptable contents of any book. All texts must be approved by the Union before being published, as publishing a work without official permission is considered a crime punishable with imprisonment. The government maintains a long list of banned works, that mostly includes pre-contact books and anything conflicting with the Hadiist’s values. Possession of banned texts is penalized with detention and re-education classes.

The current Party-supported school of literature is known as Hadiist Realism. This movement focuses on the condition of the Tajara people, the Republican struggle against the other two factions, and rebel stories from the First Revolution. Writers must portray the common Tajara as a heroic individual guided by the Party. Despite the support of the state towards literature, it has only found some moderate success within the urban population. Rural Tajara still see books with suspicion due to their association with the nobility.

=== Notable Books ===

*'''Hadiist Manifesto:''' a political document supposedly written by Al’mari Hadii after the First Revolution. It is regarded as the foundation of the Hadiist Ideology. It presents an analysis of the Tajaran situation post-conflict and how they could secure their future in the galaxy. Its reading is mandatory in all Republican schools and copies can be found in most homes and public buildings.

*'''The Tajara Without Sun:''' a self-published alternate history novel, set in a world where the People’s Republic won the Second Revolution. The book depicts a dystopian Adhomai under the totalitarian rule of President Hadii; a future where all aspects of life are fully controlled by the Hadiist Party. Due to rampant industrialization, the skies are covered by black smog that blocks any sunlight from reaching the planet. The work is famous for a scene where President Hadii orders the cyborgification of all Ruvska'ard Tajara. Due to its criticism of the Party, the book is banned. Its author is currently unknown; their real identity is subject to much speculation. Copies are commonly found in the black market or in the hands of Non-Republican Tajara.

*'''Summer Comes to Adhomai:''' a Hadiist Realist novel set during the First Revolution. The book tells the story of a young Hharar farmer involved in the revolt against the nobility. Later in the story, the protagonist encounters the forces of Al’mari and joins his army in his conquest of Adhomai. The text praises the bravery of the revolutionaries and depicts Hadiism as the inevitable outcome of the Revolution.

== Television ==

Television is one of the most popular forms of mass media in the People’s Republic, owing to the Tajaran traditions of theater and oral storytelling. All channels are currently under the strict control of the government. While a majority of the programs are Adhomian-made, few select alien shows are allowed after passing by the Party-approved editing and translation. Television is considered a powerful propaganda tool by the Hadiist Party. Soap operas, films, and news are made to teach republican ideals and reinforce President Hadii's cult of personality. Actors are selected for their roles depending on their standing with the Party.

Telenovelas are well-received by the Republican audience. Hadiist shows are usually focused on the daily Tajaran life and period pieces set during the First Revolution. PRA television is infamous for interrupting the regularly scheduled programs to broadcast President Hadii’s speeches.

=== Notable Shows ===

*'''Comrade Rafama and Friends:''' an animated series aimed towards the younger audience. This shows attempts to teach the principles of Hadiism through characters based on Adhomian animals. The protagonist, Comrade Rafama, is the embodiment of the ideal Hadiist citizen; he and his many friends are always eager to apply the teachings of the Republican ideology to resolve any problem that they may come across. The cartoon’s popularity outside of Adhomai exploded after the introduction of Cool Schlorrgo; a character meant to represent the PRA loyalist forces in Hro’zamal.

*'''Midnight in Shastar City:''' a spy-thriller series focusing on the life of Comrade Konon, a fictional PSIS agent going undercover in the Adhomai Liberation Army. The show follows a rigid format where the protagonist is involved in a different operation every episode, ends trapped in a death-and-life situation, and then escapes using some kind of ingenious gadget or makeshift solution.

*'''Tears on the Snow:''' one of the longest-running Adhomian telenovelas, it is focused on the history of a Tajara family through modern Tajaran history. The plot started with the first revolution and is currently situated in the period after Al’mari’s death. The show is known for its large cast of characters and over-the-top dramatic situations.

== Radio ==

Radio has a long history with the People's Republic, as it was widely used by rebels during the First Revolution. While it is quickly losing ground to television, it is still popular with the rural population. In a similar manner to other mass media outlets, the radio is heavily regulated and censored. All major stations are controlled by the People’s Republic and serve as propaganda vehicles for the Party. Amateur radios are allowed to operate after acquiring the proper license, but their channels are closely monitored by the Secret Service. Several jamming stations were built to prevent Hadiist citizens from listening to broadcasts made by the other Adhomian states. Number stations are common in the People's Republic, some have clear goals, like counting the time until curfew, while others' intended purposes remain unclear.

Outside of Party endorsed music, radionovelas stand out in the Republican radio scene. Spy thrillers, war stories, and melodramas are the most prevalent genres in these shows.

=== Notable Radio Stations ===

*'''The Voice of the Tajaran People:''' the national network of the PRA, focused on the political life in the country. It is considered the major source of news about the country and outside affairs on the radio. President Hadii is known to transmit all of his speeches through this channel. It is a tradition in communal farms for Tajara to gather around the radio to listen to what their leader has to say every afternoon.

*'''KGTW-11:''' a radio station geared towards music and other sources of entertainment. Sports, fashion, television shows, and more are discussed by the hosts. Despite the seemingly apolitical nature of this channel, they are also under constant vigilance by the secret police in case they transmit any anti-Hadiist message. Yasmin Piaf is the main star of this network.

== National Holidays ==

The Party maintains its own set of state-approved holidays to be celebrated by the citizens of the Republic. Even in the harshest years of the war, these holidays were celebrated in full extravagance.

*'''Establishment of the People’s Freedom and Memorial Day (March 4th):''' also known as Victory Day, this PRA holiday is centered around the founding of the People’s Republic of Adhomai following the First Revolution. It begins with a President’s speech congratulating the loyal citizens of the republic for keeping up their ideals bestowed by the revolutionaries and the Party. Ceremonies are held in cities in respect to the various heroes of the Republic and Al’mari Hadii, who are given a full memorial in the form of a state funeral service before the Palace of the Free Tajara in Nal’tor. Military parades to show off the Republic’s advancements and might are held within major cities. The Social Harmony Committee of D6 hosts their ceremony and parade with PRA veterans in front of the Hadii Living Complex.

*'''Presidential Honoring and Respect Anniversary (May 30th):''' held on President Njadrasanukii Hadii’s birthday (unofficially known as President’s Day) this holiday had only officially become one at the beginning of the Second Revolution. When President Hadii’s cult of personality grew into the power that it is today, he had seen fit to declare his birthday a holiday within the PRA. During this day, a lengthy ceremony is held in the capital to celebrate President Hadii’s guidance of the PRA into the future and prosperity. This ceremony includes performances from the Grand People’s Army orchestra, personal accounts from military officers on President Hadii’s great leadership, and stories from the older generations who speak highly about how Hadiism improved Adhomai. D6’s party halls fill up during this time to screen recordings of the ceremony. Normally, to make full use of their payments, the organizers of these screenings hold dances afterward.

==Hadii's Youth Clubs==

Hadii's Youth Clubs are a recent reorganization by the current Minister of Education, Kalim Khazdar, of the much older Youth Brigades. After the armistice was signed, it soon became clear that the war-oriented Youth Brigades were no longer suitable for the young citizens of PRA. Thus Hadii's Youth Clubs were established, focusing more on education, good manners, and proper political behavior. Children from ages three to seventeen can enroll in a youth club, with the youngest members often being given to the care of the girls in the clubs.

Members of these clubs are easy to spot due to their uniforms. The boys are equipped with blue shorts, or pants during winter, white shirts, and bright orange cravats. Meanwhile, the girls are required to wear blue skirts, white long-sleeved shirts, and bright blue cravats. This uniform is a carry-over from the Youth Brigades, with one exception being the color of the shirt as it was changed from red to white. Children in these clubs often try to collect "good deeds" into their assigned logbooks. These deeds range from carrying groceries to the old, visiting an industrial powerplant, or conducting a course in political mannerisms. This of course isn't the only activity, as they are often given free time to play team sports, hike, or engage in "Pretend War".

The HYC is self-organized, with a civilian Party member being able to function as an overseer. Thanks to this change, even the most remote places are now able to provide their kids with after-school activities. Still, certain seniority exists, as the biggest HYC groups are pre-established and reorganized Youth Brigades, with most members still consisting of previous Youth Brigadiers. Notable youth clubs include; Young Ras'neers, Nal'Tor Volunteer Youths, and the controversial Rhazar Mountaineers, composed entirely of settled Rock Nomad children.

== Sports ==

The PRA shortly after its establishment quickly began to rewrite and re-interpret the rules and ways Tajara played sports. Much of the old nobility’s games were remade to serve the wider Tajara people. Men and women in parks played board games replicating the conquest of Adhomai, farehal loops were made in playgrounds for children to play in, and mahmrro clubs were founded and started underneath the Hadii authority. Nowadays the state has a vested interest in promoting games to youth. Especially with increasing urbanization, [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/?do=findComment&comment=157462| programs] were initiated to promote activeness in children to not just keep them fit but away from unwanted or illegal activities. Sports are taught to all Republican children as not a way to compete but to work with others. Tournaments do not have winners or champions and all players are congratulated for their participation.

Farehal is considered a child’s sport in the PRA. Board games became a big trend in the interwar period and saw the creation of several tabletop games, many of which also drifted into Little Adhomai. Mahmrro clubs in the PRA are run by the state as a means to encourage physical fitness in the population. Such examples are the Hadiist Youth clubs. There are no private clubs and what national teams there aren’t on the basis of any city or region but instead army branches and government ministries. The most well-known teams are the Republican Army Artillerymen, composed of veterans from the Army; The Ministry of Education Club, made of physical fitness teachers; And the Intelligence Services MC, a club for members of the PSIS. Other teams include the Naval MC, the MC Kosmosnaut, and the Ministry of Technology MC, which are considered the worst due to their low win/loss ratio.

== Crime ==

Crime in the People's Republic usually takes the form of bribery, smuggling, and [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/6/#findComment-169015 paper forgeries]. Violent crime is relatively uncommon and is harshly oppressed by the Hadiist police force. Because of its oversized and Party dominated bureaucracy, governmental corruption is widespread. The criminal underground is dominated by groups focused on forging documents and running illegal goods. Many Party members are involved in these organizations; authorities commonly obtain a share of their profits by turning a blind eye to their activities. This situation is known to the high echelons of the Party, but they prefer to only interfere when it aligns with their own motives. A notable rise, and one that carries a high risk, is the black market for phoron. The phoron rationing programs of the PRA have resulted in a lucrative black market for phoron, fueled by pirates and Party members. It is a high risk market, however, as the upper echelons of the Party spare little expense in rooting out those smuggling the precious material.

Speaking against the Party, preaching any other ideology besides Hadiism, possessing unauthorized literature, and lying to Party members are among some of the political crimes that can earn anyone a hefty sentence. The persecution of dissidents is under the responsibility of the People's Strategic Intelligence Service. While the death sentence is generally reserved to members of the Party, victims of purges, or for those suspected of working for other Adhomian powers; most political prisoners are re-educated and later released.

Protests and riots were a very rare sight across the PRA post-revolution. With the consolidation of supplies and resources, the Party was capable of placating the majority of the populace. The small minority of those dissenters were handled easily by the well-funded PSIS. However, with the mounting problems stemming from the economic disruptance caused by the phoron scarcity, protests and dissent have begun to test the limits of the PSIS and NPD. High unemployment, lowering wages, a lethargic and overstrained welfare system, all are causes for unrest in less fortunate urban centers. Ruralities are typically spared the struggles of urban dissent, however they struggle with disruption as less fortunate urbanites flee to the countryside. With a high amount of overcrowding and questionable food safety in rural towns, protests have become a growing problem for local police.

Both common criminals and political dissidents are sent to the same prisons without any separation. This practice is done to promote conflict between both factions to prevent coordination among the convicts. An increasing practice within the Hadiist system is the transfer of those serving life sentences to the Ministry of Technology. This practice is done under the table, as it is not condoned by the Party at large, and has proven to be a boon for certain experiments.

= Economy =

The People’s Republic of Adhomai uses the Adhomian Knuckle (თ) and the Biesel Standard Credit (电/CR) as its main currencies. Out of all Tajaran currencies, the Hadiist Knuckle is currently the most valuable one. Its banknotes are stamped with images of notable Tajara, with President Hadii's visage being the most common one. Commander Nated was once present in early print runs, but most notes bearing his image have been collected by the government; the few pieces that survived are considered valuable collector's items.

The Biesel Standard Credit is accepted everywhere in the People's Republic. This currency is used mainly by the megacorporations and the government. As part of a deal with the Sol Alliance, which was later ratified by the Republic of Biesel following the breakdown of relations, the Hadiist government can print a limited number of Biesellite credits.

Despite being largely rural, the People’s Republic is the faction with the most industrialized economy. While the majority of vital industries are controlled by the government, small private enterprise is still possible in a select number of sectors, as long as governmental permission is granted. The presence of megacorporations in the PRA territory was once a boon to economic growth. Steadily, as trade becomes difficult with the frontier planet and human-made machines degrade without vital phoron, it has become a stagnant component. Many workers still seek out the corporations for jobs off-world or in the growing resource extraction operations, most notably NanoTrasen with [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/7/#findComment-183840 Hephaestus Industries] and Orion Express rapidly expanding.

National party-owned factories answer directly to the government and have Party assigned overseers who decide how to run the production. The typical factory employs assembly lines and simple industrial robots, allowing the People's Republic to make use of their cheap labor and growing educated population. Government owned factories have become the centerpoint of Hadiist construction. Construction of new state-run factories has scaled to attempt to accommodate the rapidly declining corporate-owned factories, with less than stellar results.

Fully mechanized factories equipped with the latest in human machinery were once a growing presence in high-tech areas such as the city of Al’marii. However, this trend dropped off starkly as the Hadiist government began a strict phoron rationing program. Output dropped significantly without the wonder material, and the cost of import equipment far outweighed the potential profits. As such, many high-tech factories have since been abandoned leading to many shortages in cheap luxury goods. Despite this, Hephaestus Industries has become one of few megacorporation to [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/7/#findComment-183840 build more factories] within the PRA. Factories owned by megacorporations are permitted to run as the owner sees fit.

The Hadiist industry consists mainly of a large heavy sector supplemented by a sizable light industry. The People's Republic specializes in producing heavy machinery and processing the natural riches of Adhomai. Consumers' goods are very reliable and simple; megacorporations usually supply most of the luxurious products. These highly sought after luxuries are rarely afforded to all but the upper-class of the Republic thanks to rising import costs. Those lucky enough to save enough credits to afford such luxuries often find the maintenance costs too high, and promptly leave it for disuse. Thanks to the Hadiist investments in research, the technology industry in the PRA is one of the fastest-growing fields.

Hadiist agriculture is organized into collective farms. These farms are administered by councils of local Party members who act as managers who oversee the work for the season and send reports and requests to the central government in Nal'tor. The Party gathers all of the information provided by the farming councils - and all other economic data - and processes them through an older generation Artificial Intelligence, known as Aparhatchyk, purchased from the Republic of Biesel in 2459. This AI, dependent on phoronic technologies, has been a boon to the PRA’s agricultural economy. However, its use has been restricted to select times of the year to help stave off rising operational costs. The ministries of the Republic have begun training to fill-in for these gaps in operations, however the inefficiency and lack of real experience have led to shortages, lower crop yields, nutrient drainage, and an otherwise underperforming economy.

The government sends out directives to the farms, telling them to grow various crops and send requested equipment or additional labor power. The farmer councils then work to implement given orders locally. They do not compete directly with other regions. There is always a diverse yield produced every season. With the severe mismanagement of food supply, many councils take it upon themselves to skim crop yields for redistributing among rural black markets, a practice which typically goes unnoticed or ignored. Despite the illegal nature of it, this black market of crops has led to a thriving underground economy. While farming may be fulfilling to many, this simple life leads Tajara with a yearning to achieve more in life, or escape the rigid conservative life on the farm, to filter into the cities and then into space to find adventure in the greater galaxy.

Several welfare programs exist in Republican states. A common sight in the cities is communal apartment complexes with no rent, allowing the poorest urban dwellers to have a residency when they can not pay their bills. The life inside of those accommodations is devoid of luxuries, as they are built with low-cost materials and can house many families at once. The system has become heavily strained in recent years with the continued economic downturn. Soup kitchens struggle with food supply, a stark difference compared to the well-stocked grocery stores. Many families reliant on the urban welfare programs choose to leave their city and return to the rural farms and mines, or push their offspring to become educated and find a well-paying job off-world in hopes that the salary of a corporate job can return the family to good standing.

While the People’s Republic has not yet reached reliance on phoronic technologies in every sector, the use of the wonder material can be felt in other ways. Namely, the use of megacorporate technologies, factories, and spacecraft. Trade remains a vital part of the Hadiist economy and its immense material output. With the scarcity in full swing across the Spur, trade routes have become less profitable for the Republic and corporations alike. Pay cuts have begun to roll out across almost every industry sans agricultural. The cost of off-world luxury goods continues to rise. Corporate factories, being ever reliant on phoron to outpace the production of Party-owned facilities, have slowed down production and, by extent, worker pay. Lesser regions of the nation, such as those rural towns are smaller cities, have experienced temporary food shortages at times as advanced mechanized farms begin to see declining yields.

In turn with shortages, the Party has enacted a strict phoron rationing program. Recipients are tiered based on importance to national goals, the rate of phoron usage, and other smaller factors. This has led to tension and occasionally competition between organizations that need the precious material. The most notable examples tend to be advanced farming communities vying for phoron before their next harvest. Meanwhile, the Orbital Fleet bemoans the prioritization of academia and research over the operations of the space fleet. The Party condemns the entire debate, stating that the rationing program has been implemented as the nation requires, and that no true citizen of the Republic should feel concern over their allotment of phoron.

== Tourism ==

Tourism in the People's Republic is tightly controlled by the government. The state monopolizes the industry; however, collaboration with megacorporations is widespread. Due to concerns over internal security, only certain areas are available for visitation. The historical cities and the idyllic region of Ras'nrr Heartlands are the main attractions. Religious tourism is also common in the southern Rhazar Mountains, where pilgrims can visit ancient Tajaran temples. While alien tourists suffer no additional restrictions during their stay and can travel to anywhere a Hadiist citizen can, they are constantly watched by the PRA security service.

= Technology =

The People's Republic of Adhomai is the leading force on Adhomai when it comes to technological advancement. Owing to their long history as the only recognized Tajaran government (until recently), the Republic enjoyed assistance from extrasolar entities such as the NanoTrasen Corporation, Republic of Biesel, and even the [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/5/#findComment-159521 Free Tajaran Council]. This has helped the Republic develop advanced medical care and weapons, but most of this advancement is centered around the urban centers in the Republic's territory. Rural areas are typically less well-equipped, and the cost of medevacing injured family members to large cities like Nal'Tor is beyond the average farmer's budget.

These technological advances have come at a cost. Many corporate assisted advances, namely those in the medical field, require the ever dwindling resource of phoron. As a result, fewer and fewer Tajara have been granted access to the highest tiers of technology, rather than having to utilize their lesser but non-phoronic counterparts. This has supercharged the development of Tesla technology, however the inherent limitations of this Hadiist-created field have proven difficult to navigate around.

== Aparhatchyk ==

Aparhatchyk is an older generation AI created in the Republic of Biesel. In 2459, the People’s Republic purchased the AI to fuel its growing economy, and to progress its technological capabilities. While originally used solely for the management of the agricultural and production economy, its use expanded rapidly into numerous military and civilian fields. However, being a human technology, it relies on the use of phoron. Despite the small requirements compared to modern human AIs, the older age of Aparhatchyk has resulted in more frequent maintenance and wear down of the phoronic components. With the rising cost of operation, the AI has begun being used sparingly, with subcomponents of the AI being activated or deactivated throughout the year.

The most notable and widespread use of Aparhatchyk is the economic management subcomponent. This system takes in data from across the PRA. Resource extraction, previous production quotas and results, alongside agricultural yields, and so on. It returns a report on recommended actions for use by the Ministry of Economy and Ministry of Agriculture. This powerful tool has been pinned as the reason for the Republic’s high economic growth in previous years, and the robust industry. However, as this component has a relatively lower necessity to national defence, it has been used increasingly sparingly, forcing the Republic to adapt and train numerous functionaries to try and achieve a fraction of the foresight the machine was capable of.

The Republic’s nuclear arsenal is a vital component of its defensive stance, that being a form of mutually assured destruction. With the advent of the [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/5/#findComment-160314 Skypillar] missile system, the AI was established as the primary controller of these missiles, answerable only to President Hadii himself. As such, this subcomponent of the AI remains the most important system, having never been deactivated regardless of the phoron supply.

Smaller subcomponents, such as the use of Aparhatchyk derivatives in tanks or spacecraft have seen success. Despite the inferior versions having less maintenance and running requirements, the usage of phoron has led many to be removed or temporarily deactivated.

== Civilian ==

Even the average Republican citizen enjoys the technological fruits of the PRA's labor. Automobiles are a common sight, even outside of the major population hubs. With advanced cold-resistant construction and snow tires, your local farmer's pick-up truck is more useful than the previous N'hanzfu-driven carts. Sedans, vans, and large trucks are typical of civilian Tajara, and automobile sales spiked with the end of the war. Never before has the average Tajara citizen been able to enjoy the luxury of automated travel with such ease. Specially designed snow-piercing trains and underground rail systems are a staple and facet of modern urban PRA life. Investment into infrastructure has enabled the PRA to create a wide web of rail and bus systems, including advanced designs such as [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/6/#findComment-167906 maglev trains].

And, after a long day at work and riding public transportation, the typical PRA Tajara can return home to enjoy new advances in the field of telecommunications like their television set. Before the First Civil War, only the nobility had radios, and the populace had to rely on plays and other stage settings for entertainment. Now, not only are radios commonplace in almost every PRA household, but television sets are becoming even more popular. Each family is provided a television by the State, which can view up to at least thirty party-approved channels broadcasting everything from children's cartoons to the State news network. It is in this way that the People’s Republic is able to effectively disseminate propaganda to the masses and in some instances perhaps even spy on them.

Electric stoves, coffee machines, blenders, food processors - so many appliances have been introduced to the Tajara household. One can regularly view commercials on the air directed towards the lady of the house, advertising the next useful kitchen gadget to make her life taking care of her family and husband all the simpler! And for the children, simple wooden toy blocks and animals have been steadily replaced by plastic action figures, electronic video game systems, and even kid-friendly science-oriented learning sets (uranium included). For most families living in large cities, their home life has been irrevocably changed thanks to the Republic's technological superiority.

With their population booming from advances in medical care and home life, the PRA was forced to [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/6/#findComment-169521 invest their money into agriculture and farming equipment as well]. Tractors, tills, combines and other industrial farming mechanisms including auto-farms and culture-controlled greenhouses have supplanted and replaced the slow, old methods. Even small rural farmers no longer have to plant their crops by hand, as farming equipment is loaned by the government to ensure steady food production. A dying generation of old farmhands and ranch owners find their knowledge less and less useful to pass on as machine-assisted farmers outpace the yields of old.

Computers are quickly becoming widespread in the People’s Republic following the armistice. Outside of already being a fundamental part of the state bureaucracy, personal terminals are making their way into the Hadiist homes. Communal farms above a certain crop yield are given a computer linked to the managerial Artificial Intelligence to manage their production.

=== Notable Civilian Vehicles ===

*'''TAI-M1:''' a half-track, sedan-style car manufactured by the national automobile factories in Tampiska. Designed as a simple, cheap car to be mass-produced for the population during the interwar period. The initial plan of giving every Tajaran family an automobile was delayed by the Second Revolution; the constant fighting for Tampiska also interrupted much of the production. The project returned with full force after the Armistice. Able to withstand Adhomai's rough terrain and weather, the TAI-M1 is ubiquitous in PRA's urban and rural areas.

*'''TAI-Volgydoh:''' an executive car designated for Party Members and government officials. The Volgydoh is more spacious and comfortable than the TAI-M1. Early versions were convertible; this feature was discontinued after the assassination of Al'mari. These vehicles are only made in black color. Special models - powered by high-performance engines - are issued to the secret police. Due to the frequent use by the agents of the PSIS, these cars have been an almost constant target of bombing and sabotage attempts by the DPRA during the war, which lends them the nickname of "Coffin". Mentions of the nickname warrant the charge of inciting terrorism.

*'''Bryskavar Tractor:''' an experimental tractor powered by a miniaturized tesla engine. This prototype employs the same technology used by the tesla troopers. The tractor is larger than regular diesel models, but newer models are slowly being subject to improvements to fix this issue. The vehicle is currently being issued to communal farms as part of its testing phase. The initial prototypes were prone to random electric dischargers; another flaw that is being rectified by the Hadiist scientists. The People's Republic of Adhomai plans to apply this development to other vehicles.

== Medical ==

It is not only the military that has benefitted from PRA innovation. Whereas prior to discovery, the life expectancy of the average Tajara worker was around fifty years, now individuals living in hubs like Nal'tor can survive even well into their eighties. A greater understanding of anatomy and medicines have enabled the Tajara people to live longer, healthier lives. Infant death has plummeted, and the production of numerous vaccines have rendered several diseases extinct. Tajara-specific medication is more easily and quickly synthesized, contributing to the decrease in the cost of drugs.

The best in medical equipment, sourced directly from medical giants like Nanotrasen, have become a common sight across urban hospitals. Their use, however, is not as common and remains reserved for Party members and those in critical care. Regardless, your prospects are brighter than before with the advanced, however not as effective, Hadiist equipment. Rural clinics and hospitals, while better equipped now than they ever have been before, often are stocked with second-hand equipment from Urban hospitals. Midwives are still common amongst small towns and villages. Many communities continue to use traditional healing methods. Plans to standardize medical care across the rural communities within the PRA give hope, even if the roll-out is slow and piecemeal.

The most recent advancement for PRA citizens is the production of prosthetics using similar technology as the Tesla Trooper corps. Many veterans of both the First and Second Civil War have had their amputated limbs refitted with these mechanical limbs. The design and technology of these novel Tesla prosthetics can be seen [[#Tesla Prosthetics|here]].

== Military==

Perhaps the largest gap between the three powers on Adhomai is one of military might; the People's Republic has the most advanced military and was the first state with the capability to launch its own ships into space. This gives them a significant advantage over the New Kingdom and the Democratic People's Republic as they can control the space around Adhomai without contest. The Orbital Fleet is a technological marvel achieved in conjunction with human scientists, who provided outside help in the Republic’s efforts to propel Tajara into the stars. The Fleet is not without its drawbacks, however. It remains the highest cost in the Republic’s budget due to the relatively immense phoron usage. As such, fleet operations have become fewer and fewer, a far cry from the impressive operational endurance during the war.

Beyond the Orbital Fleet and the Kosmostrelki that protect the S'rrendmarr system, the PRA was the first government entity on Adhomai to successfully field and maintain nuclear armaments. The most infamous deployment of these weapons was the bomb that atomized Quizosa, resulting in massive casualties. Since this incident and the galactic outrage it caused, the PRA has not used nuclear weapons again - but they have more missiles in storage, and the threat of nuclear fire has brought their enemies to heel in some small capacity.

Veterans of the People's Republic are entitled to Tesla prosthetics as replacements for war wounds, a technology derived from the Republic's fearsome Tesla Troopers. The Republic has not shied away from the mechanical enhancement of its special forces teams, and the aforementioned Tesla Troopers are an example of this. The standard soldier is supplemented with cutting-edge firearms and armor, further empowering their performance in the field. With a great emphasis placed on laser weaponry, heavy armor, military exosuits, and weapons of mass destruction, the PRA military is a force to be reckoned with indeed.

=== Weapons ===

Unlike the other Adhomian factions, the Hadiist military has fully adopted automatic weapons. Their service rifle is the Tsarrayut'yan rifle, a select-fire, automatic rifle. Laser weapons are usually used by high-ranking soldiers or special operatives. Regardless of advances in the small arms field, artillery is the Republican army’s main weapon and pride.

Traditional Tajaran weapons, such as single shot and bolt action rifles, are widespread among the rural population. Those guns are primarily used for hunting or held as heirlooms from the First Revolution. Firearms are far less common in the urban centers, as they are associated with Party officials or gangsters. The purchase and carry of firearms require a permit issued by the government, with the exception being made to the members of the Hadiist Party and weapons that are considered family’s relics. Civilians can only acquire simple pistols, revolvers, and hunting rifles if they can prove a clear purpose for them such as hunting or defense of their shop. Party Membership allows citizens to acquire more powerful equipment, such as submachine guns.

==== Notable Weapons ====

*''' Tui'ad "Icelance" Laser Rifle:''' a clumsy energy weapon of Tajaran design, recharged through cranking. Despite having far less capacity and accuracy than modern laser rifles, the Icelance has proved itself to be adapted to the less advanced battlefields of Adhomai, as charging stations and even electricity can be a rare commodity in the most remote areas of the planet.

*''' Adar'Mazy Pistol:''' mass-produced pistol issued to People's Republic officers, government officials, and low-ranking Party members. Known for its simple, cheap, and reliable design, this weapon is produced by nearly all weapon factories in the Republic. The Adar’Mazy is also found in the hands of Adhomai Liberation Army soldiers and commanders.

*''' Nal'tor Model Pistol:''' given to Republican Commissars and high-ranking Party members, this bulky pistol is notable for its large caliber. Unlike the Adar'Mazy pistol, only a single factory in Nal’tor is allowed to fabricate it; its design is kept as a state secret. Because of its rarity and status, the Adhomai Heavy Pistol was a sought-after war trophy by royalists and rebel forces.

*''' Tesla Glove:''' a tesla-based weapon created by the People's Republic of Adhomai as part of their Tesla Brigade program. The glove is a gauntlet capable of firing electricity arcs and shocking targets by touch; as it is powered by a miniaturized version of the Tesla Spine. Because of its long recharge time and unwieldy design, the glove is mainly used as an ancillary weapon.

==== Notable Experimental Weapons ====

*'''Nuclear Launcher:''' the People's Republic of Adhomai was the first Adhomian faction to master nuclear fission. Atomic weapons were used before in the Tajaran civil war, causing the annihilation of the military base of Quizosa. The nuclear launcher was created at the end of the second civil, by republican scientists as a way to deploy such destructive force while on the field. This firearm launches a miniaturized nuclear warhead capable of causing a controlled, but highly destructive, nuclear explosion. Due to its experimental and dangerous nature, this weapon never saw deployment, but several prototypes can be found in the republican arsenals.

*'''Cybernetic Ha'rron:''' invented by the Ministry of Technology, the Cybernetic Ha'rron is a heavily augmented animal. Its limbs are replaced with specially made tesla prostheses; protection plates, bullet or stab proof are grafted on its back, head, and abdomen; hydraulic cylinders strengthen its jaw's strength; and the eyes are replaced with night vision optics connected to the brain. Due to the increase in aggressiveness and a shortened lifespan, the Ha'rron is kept in a drug-induced coma when not deployed. The cyborg hounds are currently being supplied to the People's Strategic Intelligence Service for testing.

*'''Skypillar System:''' created to deploy the Hadiist nuclear arsenal in case of a decapitation first strike, the Skypillar System is a missile control system recently revealed by the PRA. It relies on a series of sensors controlled by copies of the Republican AI. If the Skypillar detects an explosion, it will attempt to contact President Hadii and the Party to acquire authorization to use weapons of mass destruction. If unable to reach any authority, the Skypillar System will decide on its own if it will retaliate or not. The reliability of the mechanism and location of the sensors are only known to very few members of the state apparatus.

*'''Tesla Incinerator:''' created by the Ministry of Technology's Elektroika Labs, the Tesla Incinerator is a fearsome exosuit-mounted weapon. Utilizing an internal tesla generator, the incinerator creates a ball of plasma within a gas stored at the nozzle of the weapon. A strong directed magnetic pulse forces the plasma out in a cone of effect towards the target. While limited in range, the end effect is a devastating attack. The incinerator can only be used in extremely short bursts, or else the generator risks destabilizing and cause a devastating containment failure. Additionally, the usage of gas means the incinerator has limited usage before needing reloading, a time-consuming and dangerous process.

==== Notable Military Vehicles ====
[[File:Pkus in city.png|thumb|A P'kus-3 Light Exosuit equipped with a Tesla Incinerator while on patrol duties by the Eastern Chaniskaiye border.]]
*'''Ha'rron III:''' a main battle tank developed in the intermediate stages of the Second Revolution to replace the Mata'ke Rafama II. Thanks to its simple design, good armor, firepower, and speed, the Ha'rron III quickly became a mainstay of the Republican armored divisions. The tank is mainly used to accompany motorized infantry during operations. Plans were made to begin development on a Mark IV model after the war’s end, but those resources were instead moved by the ministry of technology to their mech designs.

*'''Rhazar Mk. I/II:''' a heavy tank built in the late stages of the Second Revolution. Instead of being equipped with a traditional ballistic gun, the Rhazar has a laser cannon. While this weapon gave the tank hefty firepower, it could only properly operate when in proximity to powerlines. However, the Rhazar Mk. I was effective in defending the Hadiist core territories in the final moments of the war. Projects to replace the engine with a tesla generator have netted moderate success with older Mk. I models being [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/6/#findComment-177855 upgraded into the Mk. II]. However, these models eschew the anticipated use of automated turrets due to phoronic limitations.

*'''Trid'irra crawler:''' a mech created for the [[Tajaran_Military_Structures#Division_Experimental_Exosuit|Division Experimental Exosuit]]. The Trid'irra is a medium-sized crawler carrying artillery guns. Its main role is softening targets before the multipurpose vehicles of the Division EE can engage. Because it was never used in combat, the true effectiveness of the Trid'irra remains unknown. Despite the investment in these new technologies, many Hadiist generals doubt that mechs can ever replace tanks.

*'''P'kus-3 Light Exosuit:''' a mech created for the [[Tajaran_Military_Structures#Division_Experimental_Exosuit|Division Experimental Exosuit]]. The P'kus-3, commonly nicknamed the "Egg", is a multi-purpose light exosuit for use by the Grand People's Army's Division EE and the Orbital Navy Kosmostrelki. Unlike its counterpart, the Trid'irra crawler, it features a modular mounting system for easy swapping of weapon systems. Heavy and light armored variants exist, with the heavy armored system seeing use with Kosmostrelki boarding parties to great success. Recent deals between the [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/7/#findComment-184305 Ministry of Technology and the SCC] have seen its components sold at discount to SCC corporations in return for usage data.

==Tesla Technology==

Elektroika, commonly known as Tesla Technology, remains one of a handful of novel technologies developed on Adhomai. Based on the volatile but potent Tesla field, Tesla technology has become the pride of Hadiist science. While not reliant on phoron technology, Tesla technology is vastly inefficient and less effective compared to its phoronic counterparts. It occupies a space below the human technologies of the modern age, but could prove its reliability in the phoron scarcity.

The most notable and widely used of the Tesla technological line-up is the generator. These generators range in size with the smallest being found in the Tesla Gauntlet. The largest on record was an experimental grid-scale power generator. The limiting factor in all cases is containment. Tesla generators require a thick containment shield, multiple discharge rods, and frequent maintenance. These requirements, however, do not ensure a consistent and safe generation field. Tesla generators, especially those larger variants, are notorious for containment failures. The results range from small shocks to explosive discharges. Containment failure has few cautionary signs, and is exceedingly difficult to reverse unlike Supermatter or nuclear alternatives. As such, maintenance technicians are highly sought after and often paid higher than average wages for their round the clock supervision and maintenance of the volatile technologies. Tesla generators are not without their benefits, however. The efficiency and output of Tesla generators are high, rivaling if not surpassing their fusion counterparts when adjusted for scale. Additionally, they are compact resulting in a high energy density.

The commissioning and decommissioning process for a Tesla generator is a careful and tightly controlled process. Both events have a high likelihood to result in failure, often resulting in the severe injury of the scientists and technicians present. Due to the inability of a Tesla generator to “turn off”, decommissioning is performed through a controlled containment failure, often via remotely detonated explosives in secure facilities underground. Research into slow-decay decommissioning is seen as one of the top-priorities in Tesla Technology.

=== Tesla Prosthetics ===

The most visible use of Tesla technology is the Tesla prosthetics program. Due to the high cost and difficult integration of human-made prosthetics, the Ministry of Technology designed Hadiist-made prosthetics with Tajara anatomy in mind. Originally tested on soldiers to form the [[Tajaran_Military_Structures#Tesla_Brigade|Tesla Brigade]], the program was released for civilian testing in 2462. Since then, the program has expanded to include Tesla organs, and improve upon the safety and design of the limbs and spine.

Between the military and civilian programs, numerous differences exist. Military-grade Tesla prosthetics were designed around earlier versions of the Tesla spine, which had leveraged the more powerful (and unstable) generator to supply the limbs, power armor, and even offensive electrical arcs. Civilian-grade Tesla prosthetics utilize newer versions of the Tesla spine. While not powerful enough to supply much more than prosthetic limbs and organs, it is much safer with the lowest chance of containment failure across all Tesla generators.

=== Tesla Rejuvenation Suit ===

Created as part of the Tesla prosthetics program, the [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/5/#findComment-161120 Tesla Rejuvenation Suit] is a hulking suit that allows disabled Tajara to regain their vigor. Its users are surgically grafted in the machine; their limbs are replaced by large, industrial replacements; their organs are placed in a tank full of healing chemicals located inside their chest, and finally, a big tesla spine is installed. Only the head remains untouched. The suits are bulky and clumsy, restricting their wearers to jobs involving weight lifting and other menial tasks. Since this invention is still in its early stage, reports of it malfunctioning or causing pain to its user are not unheard of; however, the government is quick to claim that these are only subversive rumors. Because of extensive augmentation, Tajara in these suits reports loss of sensations everywhere except the face. The Rejuvenation Suit is only granted to loyal Hadiist Tajara living in the People's Republic. Tajara wearing it are colloquially called "steelsuits".

=== Tesla Resurrected ===

One of the most secretive projects of the People's Republic is their quest to defeat death itself. In this mission, they created the Tesla Resurrected. Only known through leaked information, these experiments are dead Tajara brought back to life using a mixture of augmentation, chemicals, and life support machinery. While fresh bodies produced sentient subjects, with the bare minimum of consciousness to be called such, corpses with signs of decay require invasive techniques to birth more crude results. These resurrected, amalgamations of flesh and metal, are either mindless machines or reportedly violent maniacs. It is currently unknown if these experiments still exist in underground laboratories or if they were destroyed after they were interrogated for their secrets from beyond the grave.

== Science Cities ==

[https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/6/#findComment-170130 Science cities] are a large and expansive project by the Ministry of Technology to build a number of towns dedicated towards research and testing. Intended to be secretive and protected, these towns are built underground and without a disclosed location. Families are selected by the Ministry of Technology and PSIS to carry out the functions of the community. Primarily research, however supporting functions of food and recreation are provided to eliminate the need and risk of researchers entering the public scene. No official number has been declared regarding how many of these science cities have been built or are planned to be built.

== Outsider Department ==

The Outsider Department, officially called Department for Alternative Research, is supposedly a secret division of the Ministry of Technology tasked with researching parapsychology and anomalous phenomena. Only known through rumors and leaked documents, the department was created by the orders of Minister Zhuldyz Hadii after the war. Tales claim that countless unethical experiments take place in subterranean laboratories in an attempt to unlock the secret of the Tajaran mind and soul. Self-proclaimed magicians and mystics are brought to have their abilities put to test; so far, nothing concrete was found. Thanks to a recent partnership between the Ministry of Technology and the PSIS, there is no shortage of test subjects for the Outsider Department.

== Extranet ==

The People’s Republic has been connected to the extranet since the end of the First Revolution. It has the largest population online in Adhomai. However, it is subject to censorship by the Party; the Extranet is closely monitored by the secret police for any subversive tendencies. Sites that contain Anti-Hadiist ideas, such as Al'mariism and Royalism, are blocked. To cover the role of the banned domains, there are Hadiist-approved sites available to the public. Accessing the uncensored extranet is possible through illegal software or by being a full member of the Hadiist Party. The People’s Republic is rumored to be behind the countless bots that roam the extranet downvoting and reporting anti-Hadiist content.

Connecting to sites beyond Adhomai has proven troublesome. Due to the relative isolation of the S’rendarr system from the rest of the Spur, it is often the first to lose extranet connections when relays must go down.

=== Notable Websites ===

*'''Square:''' the most popular social media in the People’s Republic. Square is a social network service that allows users to create their profiles to stay connected to their friends and family. It is also possible to share content and pictures through a news feed and albums. In order to sign up, citizens have to register their Republican ID. The website is rumored to be used by the state to acquire extra information about its citizens.

*'''AdhomaiEye:''' the top search engine in the People’s Republic of Adhomai. AdhomaiEye is suspected of favoring Hadiist-aligned sources above popular or accurate results. Websites related to the other Tajaran factions are unlisted and searching blacklisted terms is considered a crime.

*'''PRATopic:''' an online forum aimed at young PRA Tajara living abroad. Outside of discussing mundane subjects and media, PRATopic has a large political section dedicated to the spread and the defense of the Hadiist ideal. The forum produces propaganda, political theory, and general virtual content to indoctrinate the younger generations. The website is infamous for its very strict moderation.

= Regions =
[[File:Internaldivisions-pra.png|300px|thumb|A map of the People's Republic's regions.]]
== Nraz'i Basin ==

Protected by the eponymous mountain range, the Nrazi'i Basin is the home of the Hadii Dynasty. Rebuilt in the image of a perfect Al'mariist society after the First Revolution, the Basin is a land of planned cities, rocket launch sites, and strict order. The region concentrates the majority of the PRA's technology industry and laboratories. Its inhabitants are considered to be the devout Hadiists; years of indoctrination and propaganda succeeded in creating a loyal population. Due to its status as the jewel of the nation, the People's Republic is willing to do anything it takes to stop its enemies from ever touching the Nrazi'i Basin.

== Ras'nrr Heartlands ==

The Ras'nrr Heartlands, also known as Adhomai's breadbasket, is home to the thousands of communal farms responsible for the majority of the agricultural production in the People's Republic. Lying in the shadows of the Nraz'i mountain range, the Heartlands is an idyllic paradise amidst the ever-growing urbanization. Since the end of the First Revolution, Central Ras'nrr maintains its rural tradition without forfeiting modernity; tractors, complex irrigation systems, and chemical fertilizers are widely diffused. Because of its large forest, the northern areas of the Heartlands have a thriving logging business. Its population has the fame of being rustic, but politically active, Hadiists. The communal farms are one of the few forces in the People's Republic able to negotiate with the Party on near equal grounds, especially as the shortages of phoron and food make their production all the more necessary.

== East Ras'nrr ==

East Ras'nrr is the most populous and wealthy area of the People's Republic. Boasting a well-developed infrastructure and industry, the region plays an important role in supplying the rest of the continent; all kinds of goods quickly flow through its rails and roads after leaving the assembling lines. Thanks to the capital of Nal'tor, East Ras'nrr has plenty of contact with the overall galactic community. Alien products and media - as long they have been approved by the Party - are available to the inhabitants of the region who can afford them. Despite this cosmopolitan nature, the Holy City of Sana Sahira stands in the south as a reminder of the Tajaran traditions.

== Rhazar Mountains ==

The Rhazar Mountains and its surrounding areas are famous for their abundant mineral riches. Entire towns and villages are dedicated to mining. Tons of ores are brought to the local foundries before being carried to be processed by the factories in East Ras'nrr. Because of its vast deposits of rare-earth elements, the Rhazar Mountains are essential to maintain the ongoing Hadiist's technological development. Communal farms are also found on the prairies east of the mountain range.

= Major Cities =

*'''Nal'tor:''' the capital of the People’s Republic. It is the most populated city in Adhomai, being the cultural, financial, and political center of the country. Nal'tor is considered modern and industrialized by Adhomian standards; it is the place where a Tajara can have the most contact with aliens and new off-worlder technologies. Despite the relatively low crime rates, its inhabitants are under constant surveillance by the police and the intelligence agency. It is home to the largest shuttle port on the planet. Attractions include the very active nightlife, Tajaran Electro-Swing clubs, and museums. The city is known for being the site of the now-destroyed Steeple, which is currently being replaced by the Palace of the Free Tajara. This building will be the tallest freestanding structure in Adhomai when completed. Having been built for the future, it currently has the largest housing surplus making it a common destination for those seeking a new home. The [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Nal'tor College of Career Excellence|Nal'tor College of Career Excellence]] is among one of its most famous academies.

*'''Tampiska:''' an industrial hub focused on the production of heavy machinery and automobiles. The city suffered greatly in the second revolution, being the stage of intense urban warfare between the Republican Army and the Adhomai Liberation Army. The Armistice has allowed Tampiska to recover, giving it the chance to return to its old productive days. The city contains vital roads and railways linking Nal’tor to the rest of Ras'nrr, making it a major strategic point. Main attractions include memorials related to the Tajaran civil wars and its many train stations. With many NanoTrasen factories cutting staff and shutting down, Tampiska suffers the highest unemployment rate in the Republic. However, it boasts the strongest construction industry as mass state-funded construction projects expand existing Hadiist industrial complexes.

*'''B'urr:''' an important harbor town on the coast of southern Ras'nrr. The city was once captured by the Adhomai Liberation Army during the Second Civil War. Famous for its busy ports, where most of the coastal trade flows before being distributed through railroads. The settlement also has high crime rates, with shady figures wandering between its warehouses and docks at night. The main Republican submarine base can be found in B’urr. The city is home to marinas and historic lighthouses.

*'''Mal'jor:''' a city built on the principal chokepoint dividing Ras'nrr. It is heavily defended by several military bases. The settlement was occupied by the rebel forces for most of the war until it was liberated in the final year of the conflict. A mining town exists close to the garrisons, with most of the population being employed in the prospecting business or the service sector. This has made it a fast growing city, as former factory workers find work in the mining sector. It suffers with an immense housing shortage as a result. The entrance to Adhomai’s longest cavern, the Kurguzov Cave, can be found south of the city. Its tunnels spread further into the Rhazar mountains, with various areas still being left unexplored.

*'''Orul:''' a city located around the fertile lands of northern Ras'nrr. It remained under the control of Hadiist forces for the entirety of the war, avoiding any kind of destruction. Previously underpopulated, it has grown rapidly with urbanites seeking employment in the surrounding farms that visit the city. Foodstuff is brought from these farms to Orul, where most of it is shipped to the rest of the Republic. This has led to it becoming a major black market location. The city lacks the presence of any industry, but has been slowly urbanizing; much to the chagrin of locals and tourists who once considered it an idyllic escape from the hectic metropolitan life. Azubarre is the patron god of Orul.

*'''Zatushka:''' a city located close to the vast forest of northern Ras'nrr. It is renowned for its logging and woodworking tradition. Due to the supply of high-quality wood, numerous artisans and industries have taken up residence in Zatushka. Furniture made here is known to be of high quality and is prized everywhere in Adhomai. The city was controlled by the Liberation Army for most of the civil war, resulting in heavy devastation during its capture in the last moments of the conflict. This continues to haunt the city, leading to overcrowding as the logging industry grows from urban emigration. Dhrarmela is the patron god of Zatushka.

*'''Nazira:''' one of the oldest Tajaran settlements, resting on the shadow of Adhomai’s tallest mountain. Nazira is on the doorstep of Sana Sahira, serving as a stop-off point for pilgrims and priests. Several inns, hotels, and restaurants exist to serve the constant influx of travelers. Shops selling religious objects, such as icons and amulets, also play a big role in the local economy. The city is home to the oldest surviving S'rand'marr temple in Adhomai, the Temple of the Holy Blessed Suns, with its main structures and reliquary dating back to the Immigration Period.
[[File:Pranuclearplant.jpg|300px|thumb|A nuclear plant in the city of Al'mari.]]
*'''Al'mari:''' the ancestral land of the Hadii dynasty. It holds an important cultural significance for the People's Republic as the cradle of Hadiism. The city houses various museums dedicated to the first revolution and monuments praising the achievements of the PRA and its heroes. The town underwent reconstruction after the first civil war; it was rebuilt following the principles of Republican architecture and meticulous urban planning. Al'mari is the national center of technological development, supported by [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/3/#findComment-144507 high-tech industries], state-run laboratories, and the presence of the space program. The [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Hadii Institute of Orbital Research|Hadii Institute of Orbital Research]] and [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Al'mari College of Hadiist Sciences|Al'mari College of Hadiist Sciences]] are among the city's most prestigious learning institutions.

*'''Fort Hadii:''' a town that can be better described as a massive military complex. Originally a fortress meant to protect the Hadii's lands, it evolved into a robust system of bases, defenses, and garrisons along the northwest section of the Nraz'i mountains. Its military academies prepare aspiring officers to lead, while its training camps prepare conscripts for the realities of war. PSIS agents are supposedly indoctrinated in some hidden compound in Fort Hadii. The civilian population is composed of the family members of the personnel stationed on the base and of those working to supply and offer services to the military presence.

*'''Castle Vladis:''' once the site of an abandoned fortress, the island of Vladis was chosen to be the site of the PRA’s first maximum-security prison: the Try'urma Penitentiary. Due to its isolated position and turbulent waters; the institution has the fame of being inescapable. Common criminals, dissidents, and political prisoners are sent to Try'urma; those who are sentenced to it are rarely seen again. A military base and a small settlement are also present. The inhabitants of the town are the few civilians that are employed in the operations necessary for the maintenance of the government facilities.

*'''Chaniska:''' the last bastion of the People’s Republic in Amohda and a naval base on the southern region of the island. During the war, the vast majority of the native population fled to escape PRA control, leaving the city abandoned. The Republican Army was able to halt any armies encroaching on the city. Now, the PRA promotes [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/?do=findComment&comment=147249 resettlement] of the area through a program to entice citizens displaced by the citizenship act to settle in Chaniska. The city is gradually being refilled, and the fishing and shipwright industry is expected to make a massive comeback as migration steadily increases. The area was the site of a tense military stand-off between the PRA and DPRA in 2463. While the DPRA eventually stood down, the rival armies of the two nations continue to glare at each other from their border fortifications.

*'''Klipavayr:''' a mining town in the Rhazar Mountains. It is home to the largest military underground hangar in Adhomai: the Klipavayr airbase. Built into the side of the mountains, the base houses autogyro squadrons and their pilots. Bauxite extraction and aluminum production are staples of the local economy. Klavpavayr is also famous for the Sham-Rhazar, an interwar period resort built atop the summit of one of the nearby peaks. The building is exclusively used by Party members for social and political meetings.

= Architecture =

Hadiist architecture is divided into two notable styles: Interwar Art and Hadiist Classicism.

Interwar Art, also known as Tajaran Futurism, emerged shortly after the First Revolution. This style was marked by the futuristic and hopeful spirit of the young Republic. Its main theme is the admiration for modernity and technology. Its major characteristics are smooth lines, geometric shapes, streamlined forms, and bright colors. While the first Republican buildings were built in this style, Interwar Art fell out of favor after the ascension of President Njadrasanukii Hadii. However, this style is still widely appreciated by the Tajaran community in Biesel.

Developed by architects closely linked to the Party, Hadiist Classicism is an architectural style that emerged during the reconstruction of the city of Al'mari. It is characterized by large buildings, rigid geometrical figures, small windows, solid concrete structures, and a monochrome palette. Its buildings prioritize function over form - the only suitable decoration are propaganda pieces exalting Hadiism. Hadiist Classicism is currently the most popular architectural style in the People's Republic of Adhomai.

== Notable Monuments ==

*'''Palace of the Free Tajara:''' planned after the destruction of the Steeple during the Second Civil War, the Palace of the Free Tajara is the current seat of government of the People's Republic. The Palace is the tallest freestanding structure in Adhomai, with a height surpassing 900 meters. Inaugurated in 2464, it was built with the help of megacorporations. Its main structure is heavily reinforced and a subterranean complex makes sure that the government will continue to work even if the Palace is seriously threatened. The building is overseen by Aparhatchyk, the Artificial Intelligence used in economic analysis; its software was updated and expanded to accommodate its new function by the Institute of Orbital Research. The Republican Guard is responsible for the security of the Palace. The building is also home to a museum dedicated to the history and feats of Hadiism.

*'''Monument to the Fallen Revolutionaries:''' a war memorial and statue dedicated to the First Revolution's revolutionaries located in Tampiska. Inaugurated shortly after the end of the war, the monument depicts a rebel with a rifle staring towards Nal'tor. A large stone tablet at the building base dedicates the memorial to the rebels who fought and died to liberate the city from the nobility. Because of its importance to the Hadiist and Al'mariist causes, the monument was spared from the Second Revolution's destruction. Controlling the statue during the conflict was a matter of national pride; several soldiers died to capture and recapture the memorial.

*'''Temple of the Holy Blessed Suns:''' situated in the city of Nazira, the Temple of the Holy Blessed Suns is the oldest known S'rand'marr temple. Built during the Immigration Age, the building is a large complex made up of several chambers, shrines, libraries, and churches. Thanks to its religious significance, it was spared by combatants during both civil wars. Proposals by the Hadiist Party to turn the temple into a museum proved to be unpopular with the public. Thanks to the effort to digitalize the church's archives, the Temple has public computers with access to its sacred texts.

= Government and Ideology =

The People’s Republic of Adhomai is considered a presidential republic with a single-party system. The leadership and organization are extremely centralized, with all branches of the government and administration answering to the parliament and the president, Njadrasanukii Hadii. The president serves a twelve-year term while also having ample powers, such as being able to issue mandates or dissolve the parliament in cases of emergency. The Party of the Free Tajara, also known as the '''Parizahra Zhahrazjujz Tajara Akzatauzjauna''', is the only and ruling party in the PRA, with its leader always being the elected president. They follow Hadiism as their main ideology, with the objective of securing the Tajaran freedom and place in the galactic community.

Membership of the Hadiist Party is not open. For anyone to become a member, they must be approved by a committee that considers their qualifications and past. Government officials can grant honorary memberships, this is seen as nothing but an honor and does not grant any status or position that a regular Party member would have. Full members of the Party always work in government positions.

== Hadiism ==

Hadiism is an ideology characterized by strong centralized leadership, a one-party system, a rejection of the traditional Tajaran caste system, and the enforcement of a monolithic culture to replace regional identities. Its origins can be traced back to the First Revolution, but its current form was defined by Malik Hadii’s rise to power. Hadiism is extremely authoritarian and concentrates a large amount of power in the hands of the Party and its leaders. The cult of personality of the president is another key element to it; the supreme leader is the unquestionable guide for the entire nation.

The caste system is seen as one of the main obstacles to the future of the Tajara people. It is considered an issue so ingrained in the Tajaran society, that it requires state intervention to solve. The Hadiist solution to this problem is the creation of an artificial unifying culture whose goal is the elimination of any kind of division between the population. This new ideal puts great emphasis on the collective over the individual and undying loyalty to the Party. The new Hadiist Tajara is eager to sacrifice himself for the good of their nation and would never question the decision of his superiors. The desire to break with the burdens of the past extends to the religion to the more radical Hadiists; renouncing one’s belief in the Gods is necessary to recognize that no higher power than the Party exists. While incompatible with the Hadiist ideals, racism is still widespread and is a great hurdle in the process of eradicating the heritage of the caste system.

Hadiism is open to diplomacy with alien powers and is welcoming of megacorporations. In its vision, the Tajara should cultivate a prosperous and friendly relationship with the other species. However, Xeno cultural influence should be closely watched for it might clash with the Hadiist Culture.

=== Schools of Thought ===

*'''Orthodox Hadiism:''' the mainstream form of Hadiism, followed by the majority of the Party. Orthodox Hadiism follows closely the principles of the ideology without deviation. It is resistant to change and seeks to maintain the Party's rule over the Nation at all costs. Its main inspiration comes from the actions and doctrines established by President Hadii; Malik's cult of personality is found in its strongest form here.

*'''Totalist Hadiism:''' even with the ever-present secret police, strict censorship, and other measures to suppress political dissent, some Hadiists believe that the Party should exercise greater control of the society. Totalist Hadiism proposes the total planning and organization of the lives of its citizens according to the needs of the State. The concepts of independence, self-realization, individualism, and personal desires must be forgotten for the sake of the nation; a Tajara's sole purpose is to dedicate themselves to the Hadiist state. This ideal condition can only be reached through the implementation of a non-stop overview and invasive vigilance. [[Notable Tajara#Headmaster Harrrdanim Tyr'adrr|Headmaster Harrrdanim Tyr'adrr]] is the main proponent of this ideology. It finds great support among the ranks of the People's Strategic Intelligence Service. It is the smallest of the schools of thought.

*'''Visionary Hadiism:''' originated from the growing scientific community in the People’s Republic, Visionary Hadiism believes that rapid and radical technological progress is needed for the Hadiist society to reach its goals. The flaws of the Tajaran people can be corrected with the help of revolutionary technologies; science must be used to permanently transform the Tajaran condition. No price is too great during the march of progress, neither nature nor Tajaran lives should stand on the path to greatness. Safe and ethical research is seen as a pointless constraint. Accelerated industrialization of all sectors is dictated as necessary to guarantee the survival of Hadiism against its enemy. Visionary Hadiism advocates for the expansion of the space navy and the establishment of more colonies. Under their vision, the Tajara are destined to populate and conquer the cosmos. The introduction of widespread augmentation is also among its policies; cybernetics implants would erase the concept of disability and inequality from the face of Adhomai. While it advocates for the use of any technology to propel the Tajaran people forward, in the face of the growing scarcity focus has shifted to the rapid expansion of Tesla research. [[Notable Tajara#Minister of Technology Zhuldyz Hadii|Minister of Technology Zhuldyz Hadii]] is the main proponent of this ideology. It finds great support among PRA’s researchers and the orbital fleet command. Visionary Hadiism is the third largest school of thought.

*'''Young Hadiism:''' made up of students and intellectuals, the Young Hadiists are the reformist faction. Despite being unable to directly oppose the Party due to the threat of a political purge, they plan to change the system through gradual reforms. Young Hadiism preaches that authoritarian measures were only temporarily needed to secure the existence and security of the People’s Republic. The Tajara deserve more political rights and freedom; the Party should be the people's protector, not their jailor. Young Hadiists are one of the few to raise concerns about Adhomai's nature being threatened by industrialization. Young Hadiists believe that changes should be cautiously implemented to avoid upsetting society and the government. Ultimately, the Young Hadiists plan to slowly transform the People's Republic into a proper Hadiist democracy. [[Notable Tajara#Minister of Education Kalim Khazdar|Minister of Education Kalim Khazdar]] is the main proponent of this ideology. While originally the second smallest school of thought, as the Hadiist education system has expanded, Young Hadiism has grown to become the second largest school of thought behind Orthodox Hadiism.

== People's Strategic Intelligence Service ==

The People's Strategic Intelligence Service is the main intelligence agency of the People's Republic. In the wake of the revolution that had won the species their independence, the budding government recognized the need for covert operations. Teachers from Sol's [[Solarian Security and Law#The Solarian Interstellar Intelligence Bureau|SIIB]] and equipment were employed to train their agents, which then embedded themselves across Adhomai in anti-government groups, media moguls, law enforcement agencies, and other levels of society to ensure that order was kept and no subversive elements could undermine the new, weak government. Since then, their reliance on humanity has grown weak, and the agency has established itself as a respected and feared intelligence service.

Several agents and informants are employed by the PSIS, both in domestic and foreign theaters. The agency makes use of espionage, sabotage, assassination, interrogation, blackmail, and all other sort of subterfuge, during their operations. Subversive elements within the People's Republican are dealt with quickly, usually through night raids and abductions conducted with the aid of black unmarked cars. Tajara residing in other systems are not truly safe from the Intelligence Service, as they are known to deploy their agents against off-world targets. Hadiist spies, enforces and collaborators are present in [[Mendell City|Mendell City's district six]], carrying out orders or watching their fellow Tajara.

During the Second Revolution, the People's Strategic Intelligence Service was deployed in occupied territory to persecute anyone who was offering resistance or was suspected of doing so. Tens of thousands were killed or imprisoned by the secret police. Families of suspected guerilla fighters and dissidents were held hostage to force the suspects to surrender or come out of hiding. The [[Tajaran Military Structures#Republican Army (People's Republic of Adhomai)|Grand People's Army]] frequently collaborated with their operations under the guise of anti-partisan actions. Many community leaders, family members, and politicians remain "disappeared" by the PSIS.

===Blade Dame Division===

Known only through document leaks, the Blade Dame Division is a group of heavily augmented assassins. Its members are picked from female orphanages and supposedly brainwashed to be totally loyal to the Hadiist Party. They are equipped with experimental augments that favor stealth operations, including retractable blades concealed in the forearms and fingertips; subdermal ballistic armor patches; concealed guns installed in the knees and wrist; and a fully internal tesla spine prototype. Due to the nature of the augmentations, they are indistinguishable from a non-augmented Tajara to the naked eye. Rumors claim that the Blade Dames are also operating in Tau Ceti.

== Law ==

The Hadiist justice system is heavily centralized and relies solely on written law. The code is biased toward protecting the Party’s rule and its position as the ultimate authority in the Republic. Courts are presided by judges chosen through Party appointment, with the presence of Hadiist model citizens selected as the jury when needed. Lawyers are always appointed by the state to work on cases; it is impossible for anyone to hire a professional of their choice. All advocates are required to work for the government in order to practice their profession.

Law enforcement in the People’s Republic is the responsibility of the National Police Department, an organization under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This agency is tasked with keeping the peace and investigating crimes. The Hadiist police force is the best equipped in Adhomai, but much of its efforts are hindered by the underlying corruption present in the government.

== International Relations ==
The international relations of the People's Republic is handled by the Ministry of External Affairs. Diplomatic missions are wide and varied, whether they are the many ambassadors and consulars found across the Spur, aid missions set to improve the image of the Republic, or meetings to secure new deals with the megacorporations and other nations. Consulars of the Ministry of External Affairs are recruited, trained, and managed by the People's Diplomatic Service. Protection is performed by the Parizahra Aasii branch of the National Police Department. Officers assigned to the Horizon may hold the rank of '''Nalket''', '''Rhazket''', or '''Sil'Dranalket'''.

*'''[[Republic of Biesel]]:''' among the Tajaran nations, the People’s Republic of Adhomai has the strongest diplomatic ties with the Republic of Biesel. Thanks to NanoTrasen influence and support of the Hadiist government during the Second Revolution, Tau Ceti is considered a close ally. Following the signing of the [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/6/#findComment-165950 Mendell Protocol], these ties have only strengthened with the defensive pact. The Orbital Fleet sent an expeditionary force to aid Tau Ceti during the Solarian invasion of 2462.

*'''[[Sol Alliance]]:''' once an ally and direct supporter of the People’s Republic, relations between both states quickly deteriorated after a space skirmish in 2461. Despite the diplomatic reopening following the lifting of the Second Tajara Ban, the events before the Solarian collapse forced the PRA to finally cut all ties with Sol. There is no reconciliation on sight as the People’s Republic continues to supposedly fund the Tajara Revolutionary Army in the Wildlands and Sol continues to uphold the Third Tajara Ban

*'''[[Nralakk Federation]]:''' as part of the S'rand'marr Coalition, the Nralakk Federation dispatched peacekeepers and humanitarian aid to the People's Republic during the conflict. Despite initially recognizing all Tajaran factions due to the Armistice, the Federation now only recognizes the People's Republic as the rightful Adhomian faction. The collaboration between the governments is usually done through the joint development of technologies and information exchanges. The Federation currently sees the PRA as the best choice for Adhomian stability.

== Flag ==

The People's Republic Flag is based on the Hadii dynasty standard used during the First Revolution. The flag uses the colors of the revolutionary movements, with red representing the sacrifices made during the civil war, black the equality among all Tajara, and gold the natural riches of Adhomai. The flag has a Twin Suns Icon on the center symbolizing the People's Republic's rule over all Adhomai.

= Military Forces =

The People's Republic Military is composed of the [[Tajaran Military Structures#Republican Army (People's Republic of Adhomai)|Grand People's Army]], the [[Tajaran Military Structures#Republican Navy (People's Republic of Adhomai)|Republican Navy]], the [[Tajaran Military Structures#People's Air Force (People's Republic of Adhomai)|People's Air Force]] and the [[PRA Orbital Fleet Structure|Orbital Fleet]]. The Grand People’s Army is the ground army of the PRA; it is formed by large divisions of mechanized infantry, armored platoons, and artillery teams. While being equipped with the best that the Adhomian industry can provide, the Republican army suffered from low morale and a lack of properly trained officers in the Second Revolution. A draft was instated from 2458 to 2464, replacing the volunteer model army following high casualty rates, requiring all Tajara between 18-30 to enlist, unless they were able to pay a fee, prove that they are a member of the party or that they are employed under the NanoTrasen Corporation. With the signing of the Armistice, the Republican Military has gone through an extensive reform period with the lessons learned from their failures in the war.

The Republican Orbital Fleet is the pride of the People’s Republic military, as it is the strongest space navy among the warring factions of Adhomai. While used to defend the system and used to impose a blockade against the other factions, the Fleet was able to extract a costly victory in a skirmish against Solarian forces in S'rand’marr.

== 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.

* 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 can extend their vision while standing still. This is possible by using a verb in-game.
* Tajara have superior hearing, allowing them to listen intently. This provides messages on nearby machinery, explosions, and allows Tajara to hear whispered messages from further away. This is possible using a verb in-game.
* 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 ==
[[File:Tajara_Child.png|thumb|A Tajaran mother with her child.]]
Tajara are an omnivorous bipedal humanoid species. While on a surface level Tajara appear to be humanoid felines, scientifically and practically Tajara share little in common with Earth’s felines beyond certain visual elements. Tajaran bodies are strongly adapted for the Adhomian environment, an arctic and turbulent planet. Evolved to survive the harsh weather, temperatures, and hostile fauna, Tajara are well adapted to cold-weather environments, speed, and perception.

===Fur and Mane===
Tajara are covered in a layer of thick fur that provides insulation from the cold, protection from diseases, and weather solar radiation. The only regions left without fur are the pads of the hands and feet, alongside the eyes and various orifices. This fur performs extremely well at insulating against the cold and shedding snow or water. However, Tajaran fur is vulnerable to degradation caused by chemical or physical means. To counter this, damaged fur ‘sheds’ off to allow a healthy follicle to replace it. Otherwise, Tajara do not shed on a regular basis. Tajaran fur has a predetermined length at which it will not grow further, with exception to manes.

Manes are made of a unique strain of Tajaran fur that is stronger and wirier than the rest of a Tajara’s fur. Manes do not stop growth, instead they continually grow unless prevented by chemical means. The growth pattern of a mane can vary from Tajara to Tajara. It is not uncommon for manes to grow around the entire head, not unlike Earth's lion manes. Male Tajara additionally grow what amounts to beards and mustaches along the muzzle. Manes are a complex biological component for Tajara. They assist in heat regulation and insulate the ears when they are folded back into the head. The follicles assist the body in healing wounds as well as boosting the Tajaran immune system.

===Body Fat===

Body fat is stored in two ways: The fat reservoir and the fat layer. The fat reservoir is a non-essential organ within the lower body. It stores excess fats that may be used for energy, heat, or to replace lost fat in the fat layer. While the reservoir is non-essential, the loss of the reservoir can cause numerous complications. Those lacking a reservoir starve faster, lacking an essential store of energy when there is a lack of food. The reservoir’s fat also partially fuels Tajaran heat generation, meaning those without a reservoir are typically colder. The fat layer is an essential insulating layer beneath the fur. It acts as equal parts temperature insulation and physical protection, using the layer to dampen blunt trauma.

===Environmental Adaptations===

Tajaran adaptations to extremely low-temperature environments have the tendency to cause overheating issues in more mild environments. The primary methods by which Tajara expel heat are the pads of the hands and feet, as well as the ears and breath. It is common for Tajara to shorten the fur around the ears to increase heat dissipation. Typically, Tajara will attempt to cool their skin or lower their internal temperature as the insulation of the fur and fat layer also assists in keeping the cold in.

Tajara are built to favor efficient use of energy as opposed to raw strength. Tajaran muscles are lean, built for sustained use over long periods time rather than bursts of power. This is exemplified by the Tajaran gait. Specialized for movement through snow, Tajaran biology favors a consistent speed capable of trudging through snow efficiently as opposed to sprinting. Outside of snowy environments, the lack of resistance correlates to a faster walk speed. However, this does not mean Tajara are not capable of great feats of strength. Training and practice can produce strength competitive with human athletes, albeit with more effort required as the muscles produced are built for endurance and not raw power.

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 have large pupils, capable of contracting significantly faster than other creatures, sapient or otherwise. The Tajaran eye has uniquely evolved to physically alter its structure to achieve different functions. The eyes may focus the lens and physically contract the rear of the eye to increase the density of rods, allowing for extreme low-light vision, albeit colorless vision and at great risk of bright lights harming the eye and causing pain. A similar process can be performed to focus a Tajara’s vision at a far target. The eye contracts in a different manner to focus at great lengths, effectively extending one’s vision. While a Tajara can attempt to use low-light and far-vision at the same time, it often results in diminished low-light vision at distance, and can be painful when performed for long periods of time. To protect the eye from snow blindness and keep the eye moist against wind, Tajaran eyes have nictitating membranes.

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. Tajaran ears, similarly to Tajaran eyes, are capable of contorting their physical structure to achieve different goals. The ears can shift to amplify quieter noises, at risk of damage and pain should a loud noise be made close to the ear. Tajaran ears are often warmer than the rest of the body as they are the primary method of heat dissipation.

Tajara possess a pair of digitigrade legs and otherwise humanoid arms. Each hand has 5 digits, each with a 1-2 cm claw. These claws are non-retractable and particularly sharp. These claws can be filed down if more dexterity is needed, however this is done with great care and caution as cutting claws too short can be incredibly incredibly painful and will expose nerves to the air. Tajaran feet carry 4 roughly equal-sized digits. These digits also have claws, however they are more blunted and hooked compared to their hand-based counterparts to assist in grip and stability on rocky or snowy surfaces.

Tajaran tails are long, semi-prehensile extremities that, while appearing not particularly useful, are vital. The place of the tail takes on a biological and societal role. Biologically, the tail is necessary for balance and environmental awareness. While Tajara may be bipedal, much of their flexibility and maneuverability is owed to the tail providing superior balance and stability. The tail has higher bundles of sensory nerves that assist in environmental awareness, notable vibrations. Societally, tails are a fundamental part of Tajaran body language and communication. Most languages require tails, either for communicating the language itself or to inflect meaning and tone into sentences. It also provides a visible display of body language.

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. However, these molars remain sharper than human molars to pierce the tough skins of Adhomian produce. Evolutionary biologists believe that predecessors to modern Tajara had rough tongues with few taste buds to facilitate eating raw meat. The contemporary species 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.

===Tajaran Build an Lifecycle===

Tajara are sexually dimorphic, however the differences are rarely notable. Males are typically taller, have broader shoulders, more pointed ears, and larger hands and feet. Females have elongated muzzles, shorter ears, and an additional set of molars. Mothers do not exhibit visible breasts until pregnancy, at which point they swell in order to provide for the young. These breasts contract around three months after birth when the young transition to normal food.
[[File:Cats.png|400px|thumb|right|An artist sketch of Tajaran dimorphism, builds, and general stance.]]
Tajaran height and weight are primarily dependent on ethnicity. However, upbringing and access to food often dictates height, with less access resulting in shorter Tajara. Heights and weights often vary. Tajara shorter or taller than the range typical for their ethnicity often face medical issues as a result.

'''M’sai:''' 160 cm to 170 cm. 80.1 kg to 90.4 kg.<br>
'''Hharar:''' 150 cm to 160 cm. 68.2 kg to 77.6 kg.<br>
'''Njarir:''' 165 cm to 175 cm. 82.5 kg to 92.8 kg.<br>
'''Zhan:''' 170 cm to 190 cm. 82.9 kg to 103.6 kg.<br>

The Tajaran lifecycle is more rapid relative to other species. A Tajaran fetus only takes 6 months to mature, with Tajaran children reaching the full extent of their physical growth by 15 or 16. Modern medicine sees most Tajara now live beyond 70 years with the oldest Tajara reaching nearly 100. However, ages beyond 80 often require intensive and expensive medical technologies. Most Tajara retire at 60 when the body becomes too aged to work.

The sleep cycle of the Tajaran species is one of their most scientifically curious features. A normal waking period is somewhere between 36 and 58 hours, with a subsequent 20 to 28 hours of sleep. Normally, the waking period is spotted with 3 to 4 15-minute naps to keep the Tajara refreshed and alert. This is universal in all worlds with Tajara 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 who do not enter the sleep cycle properly, or attempt to break it in order to conform to a human sleep cycle, may find themselves groggy, aggressive, paranoid, and disoriented until their circadian rhythm is righted.

===Ethnicities===
''For information about the ethnicities, their traits, and their cultures: see [[Tajaran 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 that they play in a society to which their biological inclinations make them more suited, 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', further reinforced by their larger presence in cities. Given their status as the ‘face’ of Tajara, Hharar have grown to take over many diplomatic and public-facing jobs following the establishment of the People’s Republic of Adhomai. Hharar societally are the artisans and tradies, typically focusing on more skilled trades. Being the original urbanites, Hharar culture is what has been exported as ‘Tajaran culture’ across the Spur. They are the creators of the [[S’rendarr and Messa|Twin Suns worship]].

'''Zhan-Khazan:''' considered to be the backbone of Tajaran society. 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 body weight, they are well-suited to tasks requiring brute strength and heavy lifting. Zhan-Khazan fill the societal role of the laborer. They are the workers and managers of mines, farms, construction sites, etc. Being the dominant race in the restaurants and inns, much of Tajaran food culture comes from the Zhan-Khazan, as well as the religion of the [[Ma’ta’ke Gods]].

'''M'sai:''' 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 a vision adapted to compensate 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 First Revolution. 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 leadership roles, the arts, and the sciences.

=== Coloration ===
Fur color is the most noticeable aspect of a Tajara. It acts as a natural camouflage and is the most visible difference between the ethnicities. Ancient history saw these fur colors appear in certain regions of Adhomai, however over millennia of migration, marriage, and modern travel, every coloration of fur can be seen across Adhomai and now the Spur.

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.

'''These fur colors are suggestions and guidelines. Any one Tajara could have a variation of the colors shown, whether it be lighter or darker.'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

|-
====Hharar:====
Hharar fur coloration traces back to the proto-Hharar peoples of Southern Ras'nrr. The forests between the Rhazar and Khazan mountains alongside the fertile soil allowed for the invention of farming, and later the formation of Adhomai’s first civilizations. The Hharar people evolved to feature brown fur colorations due to the numerous woods they lived in.

|-
| '''Prairie Brown'''
Being the most common coloration of Hharar fur, Prairie Brown was once associated with the numerous Hharar working the fields across Ras’nrr. Despite this association, it is not considered the oldest fur coloration, instead being a variation that occured in those living among the fields of the warmer prairies of the Ras’nrr Heartlands.
| '''Azumah Wood'''
This fur color dates far older than the name it is associated with. Once referred to as simply “Summer Brown”, the name Azumah Wood became widespread following the massive success of a logging company in the Azumah lake region during the Steeple Peace. The wood products were advertised and sold with the image of a kochiba furred logger chopping down “Azumah grade” trees. The logging company has since then gone defunct, being known only as the source of a strange origin for the term.
| '''Harbor Brown'''
Harbor Brown carries the title of being the oldest known fur coloration among Hharar, having been the predominant coloration amongst the proto-Hharar of the Southern Ras’nrr region. However, in modern times it has been titled after the numerous harbor workers found across Adhomai, even if they no longer are a majority of sailors.

====Zhan-Khazan:====
Zhan fur colorations are the result of a long history of mountain tribes. Even during winter seasons, the darker fur colorations permitted better camouflage with the rocky terrain of the Ras’nrr mountains.

|-
| '''Rhazar Fog'''
During Sil’nryy-aysaif, the foot of the Rhazar mountains are commonly blanketed in a thick fog. The rare blue coloration of this fog became closely associated with the local Zhan population who shared a similar fur color with that of the mountain rock. Regardless, the fur coloration took on the name of the far more popular fog than the relatively mundane mountain rock.
| '''Khazan Rock Grey'''
The proto-Zhan-Khazan people were infamously put down during the Incarnate Dominion. The majority featured a dark-grey fur that became synonymous with the Zhan tribes of the Khazan mountains that the ethnicity, and fur, are now named after.
| '''Nraz’i Mud'''
Of the Zhan tribes, those in the Nraz’i mountains enjoyed the warmest winters. The hinterlands of the Sum’add coast become a muddy mess when the snow melt of the Nraz’i mountains washes onto the thawed soil. The fur color common of the region’s Zhan tribes became associated with the mud, then taking the name it has now.
| '''Cavern Black'''
Caves formed a natural home for the first Zhan’khazan to settle within. These served as strong homes and fortresses alike for the ancient peoples. It is not believed that these conditions resulted in the dark coloration being prevalent among the Zhan, despite old tales claiming such. This uncommon coloration originated from the southern Rhazkjara mountains.

====Njarir'Akhran:====
Njarir fur colorations are the results of the extensive eugenics programs employed by the Adhomian nobilities. Through decades of careful merging of M’sai and Hharar bloodlines, along with high amounts of inbreeding, Njarir now feature the flashiest fur colors among Tajara. Despite the inherent nature of genetics, reputations for different fur colorations have taken root among noble circles even following the revolutions.

|-
| '''Steeple Light'''
Seen as the ultimate fur coloration produced by the infamous eugenics programs, Steeple Light gained its name after a Rasn’rr emperor of the early Steeple Peace declared his fur, a bright orange, to be the manifestation of S’rendarr’s light. Some esoteric circles in the New Kingdom have adopted this belief upon its rediscovery. While the emperor’s name was lost to the books burned in the First Revolution, his declaration remains as the name of this fur coloration. It is a highly sought after coloration among nobles.
| '''Hadii Red'''
Once a mundane coloration, Hadii Red has become an intimidating presence following the rise of the Hadii Dynasty. The vast majority of the family has some variation of this fur, with many rumors claiming they place great effort and care that the coloration is maintained in their offspring. It is an uncommon joke for Njarir who have this fur to say that they’re secretly a Hadii.
| '''Ras’val Royal'''
Many of the noble families who came to rule the regions surrounding the Ras’val sea featured the ruddy coloration of what is now known as Ras’val Royal. While previously considered the coloration of middling nobles, the rise of the Azunja family to the head of the New Kingdom has led to the coloration being perceived as the height of royalty.
| '''Half-Knuckle White'''
This fur color was common among lower nobility across Adhomai during the Steeple peace. The term Half-Knuckle White was coined as a slur against those nobles who were seen as fraternizing too much with their enforcers resulting in a “washed out” fur color. Genetic research shows that these claims had little backing, but this has yet to make an effect on the thoroughly cemented name.

{| align:Center
|-
====M'sai:====
M’sai fur is the result of the behaviors of proto-M’sai. Having been a nomadic people of the open prairies in Ras’nrr, the light fur color was often the only way Tajaran hunters were capable of hiding or blending into the environment.

|-
| '''Zarragh Washoff'''
Considered the most recent evolution of fur color, Zarragh Washoff garnered its name in the Zarr’jirah mountains. The lake-effect snow of the northern lake gained the name “washoff” due to how the new layers of snow would conceal rock and dirt chips on older snow, making the mountains easier to blend into.
| '''Field Snow'''
Field Snow is arguably the most common fur coloration amongst M’sai. Characteristic of the proto-M’sai hailing from the fields of the Nraz’i basin, upon the arrival of the nomadic tribes to Souther Ras'nrr the native proto-Hharar began to refer to their coloration as “Field Snow” after the coloration of fresh snow on the Ras’nrr prairies.
| '''Fatshouter White'''
Named after the coloration of fatshouter milk before processing, this coloration has dubious origins. Written history on much of the proto-m’sai peoples were sparse, however prevailing research suggests Fatshouter white primarily comes from those M’sai nomads from the inner western coast of the Nraz’i basin.
| '''Enforcer Silver'''
Being the second most common fur coloration of the M’sai people, Enforcer Silver garnered its name through association with the dreaded noble enforcers of history. The name was reinforced in older times when many noble families began to stamp enforcer insignias in silver, which often came close to the fur color of many M’sai who wore them.

==History==
''See also: [[Tajaran 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 the 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 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 their lower influence on the other nobility. It was during 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 the 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 labor 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 nobles 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 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. Older Tajara considered these large creations 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. Legislations were 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, and 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 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 to 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 the First Revolution, the Hadii emerged as the victorious faction. They had annexed, through diplomacy or war, the remaining factions. Human corporations took an express interest in the Hadii dynasty; they were one of the few noble families who saw profit in human stakes on Adhomai, and many back-room deals were made to secure the Hadii's position in the new Government. In '''2432 CE''', the People's Republic of Adhomai was officially declared, with '''Al'mari Hadii''', also known as Rhagrrhuzau Hadii, as its leader. The Tajaran public was markedly distressed by this turn of 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, had a monopoly over the majority of the planet's valuables. Collaboration between the People's Republic, the Sol Alliance, and the Nralakk Federation have resulted in more technological advances in Tajaran society recently than ever before in their recorded history. The People's Republic began campaigns to quickly industrialize Adhomai and educate its people. Approval ratings for the current leadership rose in response.

However, serious problems remained. '''Al'mari 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, Al'mari 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 among Adhomai's major power figures since Al'mari'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, Al'mari Hadii. In 2451 CE, during a military parade, President Al'mari was assassinated by Tufir Nazzirai. A known secret service agent of the People's Republic, the radical was swiftly sentenced to death for his betrayal, which claimed to be brought on by the violent tendencies of his Zhan-Khazan genetics. His brother and vice-president '''Njadrasanukii Hadii''', also known as Malik 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 Al'Mari Hadii. The single most defining moment of this generation of Tajara.]]

While Al'mari implemented his new policies, the People's Republic saw the return of a surviving dynasty, the Azunja, in the form of an uprising in its most remote region. This faction, the New Kingdom of Adhomai, attempted to bring back monarchism to Adhomai through a constitutional monarchy.

Many military generals who had fought for the Republic soon defected under the banner of the Adhomai Liberation Army, the leader of which being Al'mari's old friend and ally, '''Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan''', who claimed that he wanted to take control of the People's Republic to finally out Al'mari's legacy. "His gun was on stun" became the rallying cry of Nated's fiercest supporters 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.

With these two rebellions, Adhomai found itself embroiled in yet another global conflict.

===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 Nralakk. 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:Adhomaimodernmap.png|300px|thumb|A map of modern-day Adhomai.]]

===[[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 its 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 called 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 Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan]].

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; a 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==
===Names===
Native Tajaran names have changed over the storied history of the species. The earliest record of naming conventions appears in the Warring Kings era, where the usage of dynastic titles became a standard part of the Tajaran name as a way to distinguish which noble a given serf worked under. Since then, names changed as more titles were attached. Jobs, personality traits, status, titles, age, given names, and more have been combined to produce the infamously long and unwieldy names associated with history. Following the declaration of the Steeple Peace, nobles across Adhomai standardized to a new scheme which continues to persist among the Tajaran people.

Every name features three aspects: The individual, the dynasty, and the purpose. Xeno-linguists associate these aspects to the human concepts of the given name, the family name, and the job title respectively. This has resulted in debate over forced associations, as each aspect has a different connotation than what humans may expect, namely the Dynasty. Unlike humans, family names are only found with noble dynasties. This has led to many xeno organizations to assume that Tajara associate with large extended families.

The Individual aspect is the personal part of a Tajara’s name. Parents will provide their child with the Individual aspect in hopes that the phrase or word used will become a part of the Tajara's person. It is not uncommon for Tajara to bear the names of gods or powerful figures, or for others to be named after abstract, religious, or ideological concepts.
The Dynasty aspect is the standardized part of a Tajara’s name. Following the First Revolution, the Hadiist government mandated the Dynasty aspect be named after the birthplace of an individual as a means to remove the influences of the nobility. Those stubborn Tajara born before the end of the First Revolution, or those now living in the New Kingdom, often refused to change their Dynasty aspect, continuing to reflect the noble family they serve or are a part of.

The Purpose aspect previously was the utilitarian part of a Tajara’s name. The aspect reflected a job or trade, an essential piece of information within a community. However, since the end of the first revolution, the need for static names to lessen the bureaucratic burden resulted in many Purpose aspects turning into a form of family name, a newer and still contentious concept for Tajara. With the number of regional dialects and multiple titles for the same trade or job, Purpose aspects are rarely the same across Adhomai. In some cases, two families joining together in marriage would combine their two aspects to form a new one.

While a Tajara’s name contains all three aspects, the usage of all three is not required. Most Tajara will utilize the Individual and Purpose aspect, however traditionalists and nobility expect the use of the Dynasty aspect. All Tajara on the Horizon may use only '''two aspects'''.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%">
The following guide is '''not required'''. Native names can vary based on parentage, region, and numerous other factors. This guide is a structured option, however other options include taking inspiration from the [[Notable Tajara]] page, and heavily modifying Eastern European or Arabic names.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
To create a native Tajaran name, you will need to access the '''unofficial''' translator [http://mk.darkserver.co.uk/lang/index.php here]. Select Siik’maas under the language drop down. By typing in certain words or phrases, then translating, you can utilize Tajaran words to create a name. Typically, you will want to connect multiple Tajaran words with an apostrophe or hyphen, however combining two words without a space is acceptable.

*For the Individual aspect, use a phrase, trait, or concept.
**For example: Love becomes Azutul. S'rendarr's Warmth (Kirmah rajzir. Zir) becomes Kirmah’rajzir.
*For the Dynasty aspect, you may use any text you prefer. Regions and cities with royalty or dynasty attached usually garners better results. Hadiists typically utilize the name of the city or region they were born.
**For example: Kaltir Royalty (Jurlket mir mrra) becomes Jurlket’mir. Nal’tor (Jri chur) becomes Jri’chur
*For the Purpose aspect, use the title of the job or craft of the Tajara. Use multiple versions of a given job or trade for better results.
**For example: Police Officer (Kaii'r manq rir) becomes Kaii’rirmanq. Prince becomes Vahkal.
*The final name becomes: Azutul Jurlket’mir Kaii’rirmanq.
**From this, you can tell the individual is Azutul or named love, whose liege is the Jurlket’mir or Kaltir Royalty, and performs work as a Kaii’rirmanq or officer.

The translator output rarely gives a word or name ready for use. Modification will be required as seen in the examples provided. This also means that names cannot be decoded.
</div></div>

==== Xeno-Influenced Names ====

Given native tajaran names are difficult for humans to pronounce, the PRA once encouraged the use of humanized names. This resulted in many Tajara taking on names derived from Eastern European or Arabic origin, as xeno-linguists found these the easiest for Tajara to pronounce. Following the transition of power from Al’marii to President Hadii, the PRA has walked back on this stance and since issued a decree to encourage citizens retake their native names as a form of pride in tradition and loyalty to the party. Many Hadiists have heeded this decree and returned to their native names, however a sizable population continues to use their adopted names. Given Tajara may have multiple names, the Adhomian governments are more dedicated in the tracking of names.

===Language===
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 Tajaran languages such as Siik’Maas or Siik’tajr is not forbidden by SCC 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 the 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. 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.

Tajaran culture necessitates a separation of the personal self and the external self. This cultural force can be traced back to the early worship of the Twin Suns, which throughout its history has emphasized a separation of personal and public matters. This separation was later reinforced by the nobility, eventually becoming an embedded part of all Tajaran languages. The result is a grammatical structure that separates the private and public self. In Tau Ceti Basic, this has been translated into the use of first, second, and third person pronouns as the closest fit.

The public self, third-person pronouns (he/him, she/her), is the formal state. It shows respect and a distancing of one’s personal matters from others. Traditionalist Tajara would expect the use of the Dynasty aspect and appropriate titles when speaking in the public self. However, those from progressive regions rarely pay attention to the use of aspects as the weight of dynasties and the nobility is not present. Strangers meeting, a subordinate addressing a superior, and other cases where formality and respect is expected uses the public self.
<blockquote>
"'''His''' greetings to the '''madam'''."

In this line, Person A speaks to Person B's public self through his own. As Person A does not know Person B’s name or title, madam is used to maintain respect.
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
“Hello '''Officer Smith'''. She is '''chef Al-Kandari'''.”

Person A addresses Person B, a human, through their title and last name. Person A maintains the public self through the use of her own title and Dynasty aspect.
</blockquote>

The use of second-person pronouns (you/your) can depend on where someone is from. Non-traditionalist regions, such as the Hadiist lands, don’t consider second-person pronouns formal or informal. Traditional cultures, such as the New Kingdom, find second-person pronouns informal. In this latter case, it is reserved for use by a superior addressing a subordinate or similar cases.
<blockquote>
“'''You''' need to handle that report by tomorrow. '''She''' will ensure it shows on '''your''' performance review otherwise.”

Person A addresses Person B through the personal self (you/your). It shows that Person A is either disrespectful, a superior, or from regions where the use of ‘you’ is not informal.
</blockquote>
The personal self, first-person pronouns (I/me/mine), is the informal state. It is addressing matters on a personal level where formality is not required, or genuinity is desired. The Individual aspect can be used by itself in this state. Close friends, personal moments, and similar matters would use the personal self.
<blockquote>
“'''I''' am unsure what '''you''' mean by this. '''Your''' proposal vexes '''me'''.”

Person A uses the personal self and addresses Person B in the personal self. This establishes a close and informal conversation or is used to disrespect Person B by addressing them directly.
</blockquote>
Transitioning from public to personal selfs is easy. The initiator who desires to make the conversation informal starts by referring to themself in the personal self. If the other participants agree to make a conversation informal, then they respond in kind using the personal self. Otherwise, they may continue to use the public self and maintain the conversation’s formality.
<blockquote>
"No, '''I''' simply wanted to be introduced to '''her'''. '''My''' name is '''Abdal Akhtarov'''."

Person A steps into the personal self but is still speaking to Person B through her public self. This is an invitation to personal conversation, done respectfully by not involving Person B's personal self directly.
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
"Hello, '''Mr. Akhtarov'''. '''I''' am '''Aisha'''. Does '''he''' wish to speak elsewhere?"

Person B is still speaking to Person A's public self, however refers to herself in the personal self, accepting the invitation to an informal conversation. In the following conversation, it would be acceptable for both to use personal self.
</blockquote>
The use of the public and personal self by non-Tajara can be jarring for those not acclimated to human environments. Tajara not used to human space can find it disrespectful how the use of the personal self is standard. Those acclimated to non-Tajaran patterns of speech rarely take issue with the lack of distinction between public and personal self. Referring to a non-Tajara through informal pronouns is broadly acceptable, however the use of first-person pronouns, the personal self, as a default often takes years in human space and a concerted effort for a Tajara to transition to.

==== Slang/Terminology ====
Tajara, like every species, has a wide variety of slang terms in both Tajaran languages and Tau Ceti Basic. While no list can be truly comprehensive, as slang is ever changing, certain phrases and terms have become widespread enough to be known by nearly all Tajara.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Siik'maas uses suffixes to define many aspects of the language. Slang is no different and can be modified in much the same way as any other Siik'maas word. Some examples include:

Adjective: -iye (I.E. T'ishkiye - Robotic)

Plural: -ra (I.E. Tivrra/Tivra - Humans)

Diminutive: -nry/-ni (I.E. Nav'henry/Nav'heni - Tiny Unathi)

Augmentive: -imy (I.E. Rafamaimy - Big Rafama)

{| class="wikitable" style="margin:auto"
|-
! Phrase !! Meaning !! Origin
|-
| T'zivr/Tivr || Xeno, Human || Beginning as a term for solely humans, T'zivr, or "furless", grew to incorporate all aliens as a whole. The term is not wholly considered derogatory, however is seen as less acceptable than xeno or alien.
|-
| Dornshky || Furless || A strong insult originating from the physical condition itself. While it is a common insult among Tajara, it includes a more derogatory way to refer to aliens.
|-
| T'ishk || IPCs, Robots, Hadiists || Originating from the Siik term for soulless, T'ishk became a widespread insult for Hadiists and robots alike among Little Adhomai, quickly spreading to other Tajaran communities and, ultimately, back to Adhomai.
|-
| M'ishk || IPCs || The non-derogatory version of T'ishk, M'ishk more specifically refers to IPCs, directly translating as "artificial soul". It started as a shorthand of Manq'ishk, however quickly gained traction within the People's Republic, and later other Tajaran communities.
|-
| Sha'tajii/Shatii || Dionae || Directly translating to "wood peoples", the term began from Little Adhomai where contact between Tajara and Dionae took place frequently enough to generate a slang term.
|-
| Kirr || Vaurca || Directly translating to "insect", the slur originated from Little Adhomian gangs warring with Vaurca living in neighboring districts. The term spread rapidly following the murders of multiple Tajara ordered by Vaurca Queen Ta'Akaix'Zoleth'akeh Zo'ra.
|-
| Nav'hen || Unathi || A contraction of the phrase "dahal Nav henrhesi", translating to "dies in the cold". The phrase began as a tongue-in-cheek way to refer to Unathi mercenaries within the S'rand'marr Coalition by ALA soldiers, before spreading to Little Adhomai where it was shortened to Nav'hen.
|-
| Ratajani || Skrell || Originating from the folk tales of small, ugly, stump-tailed, neon colored creatures. Characterized as greedy and the cause of unlucky events in life, Ratajani was quickly applied to Skrell upon first contact. This use of the term as a slur quickly overtook the earlier and less derogatory use as comparison to misbehaving children.
|-
| K'strelkii || Mercenary, Corporate Drone || Translating as "money soldier", the term grew out of the spite among Tajara towards corporate busy-bodies and mercenary groups.
|-
| Rafama || Stubborn, Hard-headed, Territorial || Originating from the behavior of Rafamas on Adhomai, the term is a long historic name for any person acting particularly stubborn or stand-offish.
|-
| Raskaren || Noble, Enforcer || Based upon the mythological Raskaren, a creature of Raskara that drinks blood and is incapable of surviving sunlight. The term grew to become a slur against nobles and M'sai enforcers. While predominantly used within the [[Free Tajaran Council]], the term has been slowly spreading to Little Adhomai and Adhomai proper. It is banned within the New Kingdom.
|-
| T'Kalta || Royalist, Poor || Forming from a joke regarding the relatively high rates of poverty within the New Kingdom, T'Kalta, translating to "without money", grew in popularity across the People's Republic and Democratic People's Republic.
|-
| Njaqrii || Noble Dynasty || Translating into "noble family collective", the Njaqrii is what amounts to a dynasty. One must be a Njarir to be within a Njaqrii. These dynasties can be expansive, covering sometimes hundreds of Tajara. The distinction between dynasties is primarily determined by recognition from other Njaqrii. Given progress nations on Adhomai abhor the nobility, Njaqarii remains a matter only relevant to the [[New Kingdom of Adhomai]] and history.
|-
| Njarii || Noble House || Where Njaqrii is the noble family, Njarii is the noble "house". Njarii act, in essence, like a business centered around the matters of the Njaqrii, or sections within the Njaqrii. The Njarii includes far more individuals, spanning from servants and workers to the nobility themselves. Establishing a Njarii is a legal matter within the [[New Kingdom of Adhomai]], however in the [[People's Republic of Adhomai]] and [[Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai]], Njarii remain unrecognized or illegal.
|-
| T'Ruv || Shameless, Al'mariist || A rare Hadiist term that was applied to Al'mariists for the perceived shamelessness in illegal and underhanded tactics during the Second Revolution. The term has since grown and spread across Tajaran communities.
|-
| T'Zhunii || Hick, Redneck || Translating to "lacking desire people", the term spread as a catch-all for rural peasantry. The exact origins are believed to be a jab at the lack of time or willpower for rural peasantry to hold greater ambitions.
|-
| Vak'a || Idiot, Airhead, Bro || Originating from Little Adhomai, Vak'a spread rapidly as a general way to refer to a friend, equivalent to saying dude or bro.
|-
| Vakalnar || Grifter || Meaning "air salesman", equivalent to calling someone a snake oil salesman.
|-
| Tyrhal || Hell || Tajaran religions have no singular lands that are considered the equivalent to hell among Human religions. However, ancient tales mentioned Tyrhal, or 'land of demons'. Tyrhal was saved from obscurity when Little Adhomian residents wanted a Tajaran version of the human term hell. The term spread as a compromise for those Tajara who wanted to adopt Human mannerisms while maintaining Tajaran culture.
|-
| Azukavo/Azuvo || Love you || Not inherently slang, the use of Azuvo has become desensitized in more progressive communities of Tajara. Rather than being an intimate expression not fit for use in public, it has seen less stigma in use, albeit still associated with loved ones and close friends.
|-
| Ketvo (Ane)! || Onwards, Let's Go, To Victory || Translated literally as "March to victory!", Ketvo Ane was established as a phrase within People's Republic military leadership. Being the standard phrase to initiate movement or actions, it became widespread during the Second Revolution, even among the other nations as turncoats brought the phrase along with them. Post-war, the phrase spread rapidly.
|-
| Blinder || Overwhelming, Too Much || Descended from the concept of S’rendarr’s light being the embodiment of energy and life. Having too much of S’rendarr’s light may blind someone, therefore for something to be a Blinder it exudes too much energy, S’rendarr’s light.
|-
| Half-Knuckle || Poor, Fraternizer (Royalist) || Originating from a noble snide. Knuckles are the smallest form of currency on Adhomai, therefore to call someone a half-knuckle implies they are so poor as to only have a half-knuckle. Within Royalist society, the term additionally refers to nobles who are seen as fraternizing too much with commoners.
|-
| Top Snow || Young, Inexperienced, New || A term referring to the top layer of snow, often fresh light snow. Someone who is Top Snow is fresh, equivalent to the human term "green horn".
|-
| Washoff || Old, Undesirable, Lackluster || Referring to the runoff of melted summer snow, called washoff on Adhomai, the term grew to be used for undesirable items or people, likened at times to the phrase ‘getting long in the tooth’.
|-
| Bronzer || Jackboot, Enforcer, Cop || Descended from the bronze emblems used to denote an on-duty enforcer. Used in a derogatory manner against cops, enforcers, and authority figures alike.
|-
| Bookie || Bookworm, Royalist, Dork || Stemming from the cultural view of books as symbols of noble oppression, bookie is a term used to insult someone within progressive cultures as a royalist, or someone who tolerates or encourages noble oppression. Can also be an insult equivalent of calling someone a dork, nerd, etc.
|-
| Torcher || Friendly, Happy, Positive || Originating from the symbol of Azubarre’s torch, calling someone a torcher implies they embody Azubarre’s torch, and therefore his qualities of positivity, friendliness, and true love. Over time, the connotations associated with Azubarre, namely the more romantic elements, became less emphasized, resulting in the slang becoming a catch all for friendliness and positivity.

===Emotional Displays===
Because of their anatomy, Tajara express emotions in different ways than Humans. Baring one’s teeth is a strong expression of challenge or mockery. As such, Tajara rarely smile by showing the teeth, instead wrinkling the nose by gently lifting the sides of the muzzle. The folding of ears is a clear sign of fear or worry, while perking the ears forward shows attention or interest. Ears will involuntarily flick when exposed to loud sounds.

The semi-prehensile tail of Tajara allows for a great amount of expression. Enough emphasis has been placed on the tail as a form of expression and language that Tajara afflicted with Hakh’jar are commonly misread or have to vocalize their current emotion. Tajaran tails naturally sway, however a rapid sway or wag is a childish sign of satisfaction. Curving the tail downward and blistering is a clear sign of hostility, whereas tucking the tail down by the feet is a stress response. The flicking of the tail end is a sign of anger or anxiety.

Displays of affection among Tajara are rarely seen in public, and looked down on by traditionally minded Tajara. The common forms of affection are the bumping as muzzles or holding of the wrist. While less common, twining the tail around an ankle or wrist is seen as equivalent to holding the wrist. Intertwining tails, however, is seen as a childish expression of affection. Hugging is not seen romantically. It is seen as a transfer of body heat and thus a common act between friends, comrades, and family alike. Those acclimated to human expression may view hugging as having a romantic component in certain contexts, however this is lost on those with a traditional mindset.

Status was a major aspect of emotional expression during the times of the nobility. When interacting with another of a higher social status, it was required for the lesser of the two to lower their head and pull the ears back. Having direct eye-contact or tilting the head up was seen as a show of defiance. These expectations have since been challenged and are often disregarded if not outright rejected since the fall of the old nobility, however those traditional-minded Tajara and Royalists within the New Kingdom continue to abide by the rules of status.

===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 protect 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.

[[File:Tajara dance .png|240px|thumb|right|Two tajara wearing traditional dresses during a musical performance.]]
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.

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.

====Fur Dying====
One of the flashier aspects of fashion and looks is fur dye. History saw extensive use of early fur dyes as methods to mark oneself as part of an in-group. Certain nobles would demand their enforcers and soldiers mark the noble’s crest on their neck, back, or arms. These symbols came to be associated with royalist loyalty well into the early history of the People’s Republic. Fur dye was banned during Al’mari’s reign, deemed as royalist sentiment. These restrictions came to an end during the beginning of the Second Revolution when Malik Hadii revoked the ban and instituted it across the People’s Republic’s agencies.

In the present day, fur dye is commonly used to signify what it once did: presence in an in-group. Whether it be a mark of one’s nation, military unit, or other such matters. Fur dye as an expression of the self is a relatively new concept to mainstream society. Regardless of intent, markings from fur dye are typically small due to the cost of dyes which prohibit large or extravagant designs. Fur dyes remain almost exclusively in earthen tones and dark colors. The most popular color, due to its cheap price and wide availability, is Earthen-Root Blue (Hex: #6082B6). Few bright colors exist and are viewed as particularly disruptive and taboo.

Many complications exist with fur dyes. Care and preparation must be taken to properly dye Tajaran fur, or else the fur becomes damaged and sheds. The restrictive range of colors is due, in part, to the lack of a synthetic dye that caters to Tajaran fur. This leaves Tajara with Adhomian sourced dyes that rely upon Adhomian flora of which few vibrant colors are available compared to earthen tones. NanoTrasen remains the largest producer of Tajaran dyes, fur, and mane soaps.

=== Cuisine ===
[[File:Taj food.png|240px|thumb|right|A common Tajaran 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 were 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 long-lasting nature. 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 thrown 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 Adhomian 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.

*'''Thamo:''' a pastry made of thick breading that envelopes a filling. Typically made with fatshouter cheese or local meat alongside salted Messa's Tears. It is a large dish eaten with utensils, unlike the Hadiist derivation known as the [[People%27s_Republic_of_Adhomai#Notable_Dishes|rikazu]] that originated in central Ras'nrr villages. The original name of Tha'la Lekhshoma, roughly translating to meat breadbake, used to only apply to the meat variant, the older of the 2 dishes. However, overtime the name came to be associated with both. The translation to breadbake was popular among xeno communities until the Siik contraction of Thamo spread, eventually overtaking breadbake as the populat name for the dish.

====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 - has 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 which even learned peasants who had to pay out of pocket to access. This led to the 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.

Traveling circuses have been present in the Tajaran culture since ancient times. Joining a troupe was one of the few available ways for a Tajara to escape the rigid roles of the caste system. Performances usually include trained animals, acrobatics, storytelling, puppetry, strength displays, magic performance, creep shows, and stores selling all kinds of food and curiosities. Since circus schools only started to appear after the First Revolution, artists frequently transmitted their techniques to their pupils. Due to the previous conflicts and the ongoing cold war, wandering troupes face large barriers than ever before. Some of the biggest circuses have left for the stars in search of a more welcoming audience than Adhomai.

===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 with 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 on 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.

Tabletop RPGs and wargames are popular for Tajara in urban centers. The Tajaran tradition of storytelling lent itself to these games being easily understood and quickly enjoyed by players who saw them as an evolution of the tales that priests shared in their communities. The tabletop scene sprouted a few years following the First Revolution’s end with Siik’maas translated versions of human and skrell tabletops. These were adapted later into localized versions that then became entirely Tajaran systems. The most well-known of these games is “Global Conquest”, originally made by the PRA and then adapted by DPRA and NKA companies, this board game replicates the conquest of Adhomai by different armies. Another is “Explorators of the Unknown”, a modular game where players play as characters exploring or investigating a world of their design.

The notion of video games is unknown to the natives of 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 her village 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 players in the PRA and a larger following in the NKA. 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. Mahmrro came to be associated with the lower classes towards the end of the Steeple Peace. This attitude is visible in the NKA where nobility largely avoid playing the game. Leagues exist in every country for the game with these Mahmrro Clubs gaining much fame.

*'''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.

*'''Baghrar:''' an ancient martial art from Adhomai primarily used for sport and contests of strength. The fighting style consists of strikes against the opponent from the waist up. The form of the attacks is primarily swiping motions that take advantage of a Tajara's claws to rake an opponent's torso or head. Other moves include punching for friendlier matches or stabbing forward with the claws in typical confrontations. Modern Baghrariri, or people who practice the Baghrar style for sport, usually fight with implements that cover and support their nails to avoid serious bodily damage. Modern Baghrar fights are decided upon with a point-scoring system over three 10-minute rounds, but historical victories were secured by knocking opponents onto the ground. Baghrar has been adapted into several different styles used by Adhomaian police and army units.

====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 the 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 horizontally 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 ===
''For more information, see [[Tajaran Military Structures]]''

Warfare and militaries on Adhomai are catered to the environment demands of the snowy planet. Logistics are a prized necessity, with entire wars being won through denying the opposing side consistent access to heat and food. Since the First Revolution, guerilla warfare and mobility doctrines have defined Tajaran warfighting. With the end of the Second Revolution, previous doctrines were shattered. New realities have forced each nation's military into its own place, developing separately not for the war fought previously, but the war it anticipates. As a result, Adhomian military technologies have received some of the largest research and development. It remains to be seen how these advances will play out, or how each nation has prepared itself under the new geopolitical reality.

The military hardware of Adhomai is a blend of proven, if dated, technologies and advanced experimental concepts. The bulk of Tajaran soldiers across the 3 nations are armed with new semi-automatic rifles, or automatic rifles in the case of the People's Republic's Tsarrayut’yan rifle. These weapons, however, are based on reliable systems tested in the chaos of the Second Revolution. Weathered against the cold, and prepared for years of abuse, Adhomian rifles are among the sturdiest and most reliable in mass-production. Energy-based rifles are uncommon. Concerns of lasers reflecting off the snow, revealing one's positions, and the scarcity of reliable energy sources have pushed the new technology to the side. The People's Republic's Icelance rifle has beat the odds even if it is reserved for the elites of the Republican Guard. Partisans see use of the enduring Harrzhak bolt-action rifle. Special forces find their own in lever-action rifles, Hotaki sniper rifles, or other specialized weapons. Close-in engagements still make frequent use of bayonets and swords. Shotguns and submachine guns are, ironically, reserved for shock troops. Regardless of situation, Adhomai has a rifle that suits one's needs. They are cheap and reliable, albeit at times dated but no less effective.

Tajaran artillery is where the cunning of Tajaran engineering shines. 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. Even as venerable howitzers and emplacements see use decades, sometimes nearly a century, of use, Tajara continue to expand their artillery repertoire. Massive self-propelled guns within the ALA ride alongside their fearsome tanks while the People's Republic develops exosuits carrying large artillery cannons. The New Kingdom has found use in large railway cannons, among the largest to be produced on Adhomai, alongside the mass of naval vessels capable of fire support.

==== Notable Weapons ====
'''Harrzhak Bolt-Action Rifle:''' A venerable design hailing from the mid-Steeple Peace era. It is a cheap bolt-action rifle designed the minimize exposure of the action to the outside elements. Despite the simplicity of the design, it is capable of great accuracy.

'''Adhokorr Sword:''' A sword pattern originating from, and associated heavily with, Amohda. It is a straight single-edged blade that extends roughly 1.5 meters in length. The grip is typically made from local wood and bound in fabric or leather. It is intended for use with two-hands but is capable of single-handed use.

'''Sahikorr Blade:''' A curved sword designed during the Warring Kings era. It features a long and thin blade of varying lengths. It is without a guard, with most modern variants making use of a metal-reinforced grip. All manner of Sahikorr blades exist, from ceremonial officer swords to cheap and mass-produced partisan blades.

=== 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 musicals. Some artistic Hharar who lived before the war give 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 that the sun god S'rendarr celebrates. Tajara under the worship of Ma'ta'ke have a less celebratory and less ritualistic ceremony, instead, they have 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.

Throughout history, the concept of gender in Tajara society varied over time. Archaeological evidence suggests that before the Incarnate Dominion, multiple identities—often related to religious practices—existed. Like everything else, the nobility's breeding project also molded the perception of gender in Adhomai. Njarir’Akhran, with their great emphasis on their bloodline, were the ones with the strictest and defined gender roles. While the Zhan-Khazan rarely cared about these definitions, seeing little distinction between them. After the revolution, gender in the Tajara society changed as well, but it did not free itself fully from the shackles of the pre-contact oppression.

In history, transgender Tajara were more common among Njarir and Hharar due to their more defined gender roles. Before the revolution, these individuals were often in a nebulous state, as they were still obligated to participate in the eugenics program. While some could still find suitable partners, others had to find other outlets, such as joining religious societies or becoming outcasts. Ma'ta'ke priesthood is open to transgender Tajara who identify as their patron god's gender. The Church of S'rand'marr rejects these notions and maintains a strong distinction within its organization based on the gender assigned at birth of its members.

Third gender and nonbinary identities have historically been associated with religious and mystical perspectives. Those who could combine and balance both aspects were typically priests or mystics, known to have achieved some form of enlightenment. Only after the revolution are these identities now explored without the trappings of the occult. The older generations are usually confused by younger individuals who identify as such, with more religious Tajara being outraged at them for appropriating something that was once sacred.

Sexual orientation was a poorly defined concept for the Tajara until the contact. With the emphasis on the caste system, most individuals were expected to have a partner of the same ethnicity with whom they could reproduce, despite their preferences. The nobility often persecuted any relationship or behavior that threatened the caste project. The nobility strictly forbade any kind of relationship with a Tajara of a different ethnicity.

After the civil war, theories and studies about gender and orientation have begun to emerge among revolutionary thinkers. The most radical theorists argued that such concepts were constructions of the old nobility to further their control, calling for forgetting such ideas in favor of new visions. Currently, the Tajara society still upholds gender roles similar to those before the contact, mainly based on one's heritage. The concept of a defined and clear sexual orientation is still fairly new. Only now free of the oppressive Njarir system, the Tajara are free to think about these matters as they develop further socially, even if frequently tainted by the lingering old prejudices. The other species' vision of these matters is seen as alien; even a traditional Tajara would not care to pass judgment on anything that does not involve their people.

Because of the Tajara's recent history as a repressive, conservative species, they still carry many prejudices from the period before the revolution. Overt displays of affection, xenophilia, and interracial relationships among Tajara are looked down on and treated as deviancy. The pre-contact nobility purposefully encouraged these sentiments to further preserve the caste system.

===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.

===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.

== 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
* Executive Officer
* Research Director

* Operations Manager
* Consular Officer
* Corporate Liason

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

Zhan-Khazan can be the following Heads of Staff:
* Operations Manager
* Chief Engineer

* 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 can extend their vision while standing still. This is possible by using a verb in-game.
* Tajara have superior hearing, allowing them to listen intently. This provides messages on nearby machinery, explosions, and allows Tajara to hear whispered messages from further away. This is possible using a verb in-game.
* 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 ==
[[File:Tajara_Child.png|thumb|A Tajaran mother with her child.]]
Tajara are an omnivorous bipedal humanoid species. While on a surface level Tajara appear to be humanoid felines, scientifically and practically Tajara share little in common with Earth’s felines beyond certain visual elements. Tajaran bodies are strongly adapted for the Adhomian environment, an arctic and turbulent planet. Evolved to survive the harsh weather, temperatures, and hostile fauna, Tajara are well adapted to cold-weather environments, speed, and perception.

===Fur and Mane===
Tajara are covered in a layer of thick fur that provides insulation from the cold, protection from diseases, and weather solar radiation. The only regions left without fur are the pads of the hands and feet, alongside the eyes and various orifices. This fur performs extremely well at insulating against the cold and shedding snow or water. However, Tajaran fur is vulnerable to degradation caused by chemical or physical means. To counter this, damaged fur ‘sheds’ off to allow a healthy follicle to replace it. Otherwise, Tajara do not shed on a regular basis. Tajaran fur has a predetermined length at which it will not grow further, with exception to manes.

Manes are made of a unique strain of Tajaran fur that is stronger and wirier than the rest of a Tajara’s fur. Manes do not stop growth, instead they continually grow unless prevented by chemical means. The growth pattern of a mane can vary from Tajara to Tajara. It is not uncommon for manes to grow around the entire head, not unlike Earth's lion manes. Male Tajara additionally grow what amounts to beards and mustaches along the muzzle. Manes are a complex biological component for Tajara. They assist in heat regulation and insulate the ears when they are folded back into the head. The follicles assist the body in healing wounds as well as boosting the Tajaran immune system.

===Body Fat===

Body fat is stored in two ways: The fat reservoir and the fat layer. The fat reservoir is a non-essential organ within the lower body. It stores excess fats that may be used for energy, heat, or to replace lost fat in the fat layer. While the reservoir is non-essential, the loss of the reservoir can cause numerous complications. Those lacking a reservoir starve faster, lacking an essential store of energy when there is a lack of food. The reservoir’s fat also partially fuels Tajaran heat generation, meaning those without a reservoir are typically colder. The fat layer is an essential insulating layer beneath the fur. It acts as equal parts temperature insulation and physical protection, using the layer to dampen blunt trauma.

===Environmental Adaptations===

Tajaran adaptations to extremely low-temperature environments have the tendency to cause overheating issues in more mild environments. The primary methods by which Tajara expel heat are the pads of the hands and feet, as well as the ears and breath. It is common for Tajara to shorten the fur around the ears to increase heat dissipation. Typically, Tajara will attempt to cool their skin or lower their internal temperature as the insulation of the fur and fat layer also assists in keeping the cold in.

Tajara are built to favor efficient use of energy as opposed to raw strength. Tajaran muscles are lean, built for sustained use over long periods time rather than bursts of power. This is exemplified by the Tajaran gait. Specialized for movement through snow, Tajaran biology favors a consistent speed capable of trudging through snow efficiently as opposed to sprinting. Outside of snowy environments, the lack of resistance correlates to a faster walk speed. However, this does not mean Tajara are not capable of great feats of strength. Training and practice can produce strength competitive with human athletes, albeit with more effort required as the muscles produced are built for endurance and not raw power.

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 have large pupils, capable of contracting significantly faster than other creatures, sapient or otherwise. The Tajaran eye has uniquely evolved to physically alter its structure to achieve different functions. The eyes may focus the lens and physically contract the rear of the eye to increase the density of rods, allowing for extreme low-light vision, albeit colorless vision and at great risk of bright lights harming the eye and causing pain. A similar process can be performed to focus a Tajara’s vision at a far target. The eye contracts in a different manner to focus at great lengths, effectively extending one’s vision. While a Tajara can attempt to use low-light and far-vision at the same time, it often results in diminished low-light vision at distance, and can be painful when performed for long periods of time. To protect the eye from snow blindness and keep the eye moist against wind, Tajaran eyes have nictitating membranes.

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. Tajaran ears, similarly to Tajaran eyes, are capable of contorting their physical structure to achieve different goals. The ears can shift to amplify quieter noises, at risk of damage and pain should a loud noise be made close to the ear. Tajaran ears are often warmer than the rest of the body as they are the primary method of heat dissipation.

Tajara possess a pair of digitigrade legs and otherwise humanoid arms. Each hand has 5 digits, each with a 1-2 cm claw. These claws are non-retractable and particularly sharp. These claws can be filed down if more dexterity is needed, however this is done with great care and caution as cutting claws too short can be incredibly incredibly painful and will expose nerves to the air. Tajaran feet carry 4 roughly equal-sized digits. These digits also have claws, however they are more blunted and hooked compared to their hand-based counterparts to assist in grip and stability on rocky or snowy surfaces.

Tajaran tails are long, semi-prehensile extremities that, while appearing not particularly useful, are vital. The place of the tail takes on a biological and societal role. Biologically, the tail is necessary for balance and environmental awareness. While Tajara may be bipedal, much of their flexibility and maneuverability is owed to the tail providing superior balance and stability. The tail has higher bundles of sensory nerves that assist in environmental awareness, notable vibrations. Societally, tails are a fundamental part of Tajaran body language and communication. Most languages require tails, either for communicating the language itself or to inflect meaning and tone into sentences. It also provides a visible display of body language.

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. However, these molars remain sharper than human molars to pierce the tough skins of Adhomian produce. Evolutionary biologists believe that predecessors to modern Tajara had rough tongues with few taste buds to facilitate eating raw meat. The contemporary species 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.

===Tajaran Build an Lifecycle===

Tajara are sexually dimorphic, however the differences are rarely notable. Males are typically taller, have broader shoulders, more pointed ears, and larger hands and feet. Females have elongated muzzles, shorter ears, and an additional set of molars. Mothers do not exhibit visible breasts until pregnancy, at which point they swell in order to provide for the young. These breasts contract around three months after birth when the young transition to normal food.
[[File:Cats.png|400px|thumb|right|An artist sketch of Tajaran dimorphism, builds, and general stance.]]
Tajaran height and weight are primarily dependent on ethnicity. However, upbringing and access to food often dictates height, with less access resulting in shorter Tajara. Heights and weights often vary. Tajara shorter or taller than the range typical for their ethnicity often face medical issues as a result.

'''M’sai:''' 160 cm to 170 cm. 80.1 kg to 90.4 kg.<br>
'''Hharar:''' 150 cm to 160 cm. 68.2 kg to 77.6 kg.<br>
'''Njarir:''' 165 cm to 175 cm. 82.5 kg to 92.8 kg.<br>
'''Zhan:''' 170 cm to 190 cm. 82.9 kg to 103.6 kg.<br>

The Tajaran lifecycle is more rapid relative to other species. A Tajaran fetus only takes 6 months to mature, with Tajaran children reaching the full extent of their physical growth by 15 or 16. Modern medicine sees most Tajara now live beyond 70 years with the oldest Tajara reaching nearly 100. However, ages beyond 80 often require intensive and expensive medical technologies. Most Tajara retire at 60 when the body becomes too aged to work.

The sleep cycle of the Tajaran species is one of their most scientifically curious features. A normal waking period is somewhere between 36 and 58 hours, with a subsequent 20 to 28 hours of sleep. Normally, the waking period is spotted with 3 to 4 15-minute naps to keep the Tajara refreshed and alert. This is universal in all worlds with Tajara 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 who do not enter the sleep cycle properly, or attempt to break it in order to conform to a human sleep cycle, may find themselves groggy, aggressive, paranoid, and disoriented until their circadian rhythm is righted.

===Ethnicities===
''For information about the ethnicities, their traits, and their cultures: see [[Tajaran 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 that they play in a society to which their biological inclinations make them more suited, 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', further reinforced by their larger presence in cities. Given their status as the ‘face’ of Tajara, Hharar have grown to take over many diplomatic and public-facing jobs following the establishment of the People’s Republic of Adhomai. Hharar societally are the artisans and tradies, typically focusing on more skilled trades. Being the original urbanites, Hharar culture is what has been exported as ‘Tajaran culture’ across the Spur. They are the creators of the [[S’rendarr and Messa|Twin Suns worship]].

'''Zhan-Khazan:''' considered to be the backbone of Tajaran society. 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 body weight, they are well-suited to tasks requiring brute strength and heavy lifting. Zhan-Khazan fill the societal role of the laborer. They are the workers and managers of mines, farms, construction sites, etc. Being the dominant race in the restaurants and inns, much of Tajaran food culture comes from the Zhan-Khazan, as well as the religion of the [[Ma’ta’ke Gods]].

'''M'sai:''' 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 a vision adapted to compensate 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 First Revolution. 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 leadership roles, the arts, and the sciences.

=== Coloration ===
Fur color is the most noticeable aspect of a Tajara. It acts as a natural camouflage and is the most visible difference between the ethnicities. Ancient history saw these fur colors appear in certain regions of Adhomai, however over millennia of migration, marriage, and modern travel, every coloration of fur can be seen across Adhomai and now the Spur.

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.

'''These fur colors are suggestions and guidelines. Any one Tajara could have a variation of the colors shown, whether it be lighter or darker.'''

====Hharar:====
Hharar fur coloration traces back to the proto-Hharar peoples of Southern Ras'nrr. The forests between the Rhazar and Khazan mountains alongside the fertile soil allowed for the invention of farming, and later the formation of Adhomai’s first civilizations. The Hharar people evolved to feature brown fur colorations due to the numerous woods they lived in.

| '''Prairie Brown'''
Being the most common coloration of Hharar fur, Prairie Brown was once associated with the numerous Hharar working the fields across Ras’nrr. Despite this association, it is not considered the oldest fur coloration, instead being a variation that occured in those living among the fields of the warmer prairies of the Ras’nrr Heartlands.
| '''Azumah Wood'''
This fur color dates far older than the name it is associated with. Once referred to as simply “Summer Brown”, the name Azumah Wood became widespread following the massive success of a logging company in the Azumah lake region during the Steeple Peace. The wood products were advertised and sold with the image of a kochiba furred logger chopping down “Azumah grade” trees. The logging company has since then gone defunct, being known only as the source of a strange origin for the term.
| '''Harbor Brown'''
Harbor Brown carries the title of being the oldest known fur coloration among Hharar, having been the predominant coloration amongst the proto-Hharar of the Southern Ras’nrr region. However, in modern times it has been titled after the numerous harbor workers found across Adhomai, even if they no longer are a majority of sailors.

====Zhan-Khazan:====
Zhan fur colorations are the result of a long history of mountain tribes. Even during winter seasons, the darker fur colorations permitted better camouflage with the rocky terrain of the Ras’nrr mountains.

|-
| '''Rhazar Fog'''
During Sil’nryy-aysaif, the foot of the Rhazar mountains are commonly blanketed in a thick fog. The rare blue coloration of this fog became closely associated with the local Zhan population who shared a similar fur color with that of the mountain rock. Regardless, the fur coloration took on the name of the far more popular fog than the relatively mundane mountain rock.
| '''Khazan Rock Grey'''
The proto-Zhan-Khazan people were infamously put down during the Incarnate Dominion. The majority featured a dark-grey fur that became synonymous with the Zhan tribes of the Khazan mountains that the ethnicity, and fur, are now named after.
| '''Nraz’i Mud'''
Of the Zhan tribes, those in the Nraz’i mountains enjoyed the warmest winters. The hinterlands of the Sum’add coast become a muddy mess when the snow melt of the Nraz’i mountains washes onto the thawed soil. The fur color common of the region’s Zhan tribes became associated with the mud, then taking the name it has now.
| '''Cavern Black'''
Caves formed a natural home for the first Zhan’khazan to settle within. These served as strong homes and fortresses alike for the ancient peoples. It is not believed that these conditions resulted in the dark coloration being prevalent among the Zhan, despite old tales claiming such. This uncommon coloration originated from the southern Rhazkjara mountains.

====Njarir'Akhran:====
Njarir fur colorations are the results of the extensive eugenics programs employed by the Adhomian nobilities. Through decades of careful merging of M’sai and Hharar bloodlines, along with high amounts of inbreeding, Njarir now feature the flashiest fur colors among Tajara. Despite the inherent nature of genetics, reputations for different fur colorations have taken root among noble circles even following the revolutions.

|-
| '''Steeple Light'''
Seen as the ultimate fur coloration produced by the infamous eugenics programs, Steeple Light gained its name after a Rasn’rr emperor of the early Steeple Peace declared his fur, a bright orange, to be the manifestation of S’rendarr’s light. Some esoteric circles in the New Kingdom have adopted this belief upon its rediscovery. While the emperor’s name was lost to the books burned in the First Revolution, his declaration remains as the name of this fur coloration. It is a highly sought after coloration among nobles.
| '''Hadii Red'''
Once a mundane coloration, Hadii Red has become an intimidating presence following the rise of the Hadii Dynasty. The vast majority of the family has some variation of this fur, with many rumors claiming they place great effort and care that the coloration is maintained in their offspring. It is an uncommon joke for Njarir who have this fur to say that they’re secretly a Hadii.
| '''Ras’val Royal'''
Many of the noble families who came to rule the regions surrounding the Ras’val sea featured the ruddy coloration of what is now known as Ras’val Royal. While previously considered the coloration of middling nobles, the rise of the Azunja family to the head of the New Kingdom has led to the coloration being perceived as the height of royalty.
| '''Half-Knuckle White'''
This fur color was common among lower nobility across Adhomai during the Steeple peace. The term Half-Knuckle White was coined as a slur against those nobles who were seen as fraternizing too much with their enforcers resulting in a “washed out” fur color. Genetic research shows that these claims had little backing, but this has yet to make an effect on the thoroughly cemented name.

|-
====M'sai:====
M’sai fur is the result of the behaviors of proto-M’sai. Having been a nomadic people of the open prairies in Ras’nrr, the light fur color was often the only way Tajaran hunters were capable of hiding or blending into the environment.
|[[File:M_White.png|300px|thumb|left|White (RGB 238, 223, 204 / Hex #eedfcc)]]

|[[File:M_Silver.png|300px|thumb|left|Silver (RGB 192, 192, 192 / Hex #c0c0c0)]]
|-
| '''Zarragh Washoff'''
Considered the most recent evolution of fur color, Zarragh Washoff garnered its name in the Zarr’jirah mountains. The lake-effect snow of the northern lake gained the name “washoff” due to how the new layers of snow would conceal rock and dirt chips on older snow, making the mountains easier to blend into.
| '''Field Snow'''
Field Snow is arguably the most common fur coloration amongst M’sai. Characteristic of the proto-M’sai hailing from the fields of the Nraz’i basin, upon the arrival of the nomadic tribes to Souther Ras'nrr the native proto-Hharar began to refer to their coloration as “Field Snow” after the coloration of fresh snow on the Ras’nrr prairies.
| '''Fatshouter White'''
Named after the coloration of fatshouter milk before processing, this coloration has dubious origins. Written history on much of the proto-m’sai peoples were sparse, however prevailing research suggests Fatshouter white primarily comes from those M’sai nomads from the inner western coast of the Nraz’i basin.
| '''Enforcer Silver'''
Being the second most common fur coloration of the M’sai people, Enforcer Silver garnered its name through association with the dreaded noble enforcers of history. The name was reinforced in older times when many noble families began to stamp enforcer insignias in silver, which often came close to the fur color of many M’sai who wore them.

==History==
''See also: [[Tajaran 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 the 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 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 their lower influence on the other nobility. It was during 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 the 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 labor 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 nobles 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 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. Older Tajara considered these large creations 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. Legislations were 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, and 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 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 to 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 the First Revolution, the Hadii emerged as the victorious faction. They had annexed, through diplomacy or war, the remaining factions. Human corporations took an express interest in the Hadii dynasty; they were one of the few noble families who saw profit in human stakes on Adhomai, and many back-room deals were made to secure the Hadii's position in the new Government. In '''2432 CE''', the People's Republic of Adhomai was officially declared, with '''Al'mari Hadii''', also known as Rhagrrhuzau Hadii, as its leader. The Tajaran public was markedly distressed by this turn of 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, had a monopoly over the majority of the planet's valuables. Collaboration between the People's Republic, the Sol Alliance, and the Nralakk Federation have resulted in more technological advances in Tajaran society recently than ever before in their recorded history. The People's Republic began campaigns to quickly industrialize Adhomai and educate its people. Approval ratings for the current leadership rose in response.

However, serious problems remained. '''Al'mari 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, Al'mari 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 among Adhomai's major power figures since Al'mari'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, Al'mari Hadii. In 2451 CE, during a military parade, President Al'mari was assassinated by Tufir Nazzirai. A known secret service agent of the People's Republic, the radical was swiftly sentenced to death for his betrayal, which claimed to be brought on by the violent tendencies of his Zhan-Khazan genetics. His brother and vice-president '''Njadrasanukii Hadii''', also known as Malik 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 Al'Mari Hadii. The single most defining moment of this generation of Tajara.]]

While Al'mari implemented his new policies, the People's Republic saw the return of a surviving dynasty, the Azunja, in the form of an uprising in its most remote region. This faction, the New Kingdom of Adhomai, attempted to bring back monarchism to Adhomai through a constitutional monarchy.

Many military generals who had fought for the Republic soon defected under the banner of the Adhomai Liberation Army, the leader of which being Al'mari's old friend and ally, '''Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan''', who claimed that he wanted to take control of the People's Republic to finally out Al'mari's legacy. "His gun was on stun" became the rallying cry of Nated's fiercest supporters 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.

With these two rebellions, Adhomai found itself embroiled in yet another global conflict.

===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 Nralakk. 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:Adhomaimodernmap.png|300px|thumb|A map of modern-day Adhomai.]]

===[[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 its 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 called 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 Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan]].

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; a 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.

===Names===
Native Tajaran names have changed over the storied history of the species. The earliest record of naming conventions appears in the Warring Kings era, where the usage of dynastic titles became a standard part of the Tajaran name as a way to distinguish which noble a given serf worked under. Since then, names changed as more titles were attached. Jobs, personality traits, status, titles, age, given names, and more have been combined to produce the infamously long and unwieldy names associated with history. Following the declaration of the Steeple Peace, nobles across Adhomai standardized to a new scheme which continues to persist among the Tajaran people.

Every name features three aspects: The individual, the dynasty, and the purpose. Xeno-linguists associate these aspects to the human concepts of the given name, the family name, and the job title respectively. This has resulted in debate over forced associations, as each aspect has a different connotation than what humans may expect, namely the Dynasty. Unlike humans, family names are only found with noble dynasties. This has led to many xeno organizations to assume that Tajara associate with large extended families.

The Individual aspect is the personal part of a Tajara’s name. Parents will provide their child with the Individual aspect in hopes that the phrase or word used will become a part of the Tajara's person. It is not uncommon for Tajara to bear the names of gods or powerful figures, or for others to be named after abstract, religious, or ideological concepts.
The Dynasty aspect is the standardized part of a Tajara’s name. Following the First Revolution, the Hadiist government mandated the Dynasty aspect be named after the birthplace of an individual as a means to remove the influences of the nobility. Those stubborn Tajara born before the end of the First Revolution, or those now living in the New Kingdom, often refused to change their Dynasty aspect, continuing to reflect the noble family they serve or are a part of.

The Purpose aspect previously was the utilitarian part of a Tajara’s name. The aspect reflected a job or trade, an essential piece of information within a community. However, since the end of the first revolution, the need for static names to lessen the bureaucratic burden resulted in many Purpose aspects turning into a form of family name, a newer and still contentious concept for Tajara. With the number of regional dialects and multiple titles for the same trade or job, Purpose aspects are rarely the same across Adhomai. In some cases, two families joining together in marriage would combine their two aspects to form a new one.

While a Tajara’s name contains all three aspects, the usage of all three is not required. Most Tajara will utilize the Individual and Purpose aspect, however traditionalists and nobility expect the use of the Dynasty aspect. All Tajara on the Horizon may use only '''two aspects'''.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%">
The following guide is '''not required'''. Native names can vary based on parentage, region, and numerous other factors. This guide is a structured option, however other options include taking inspiration from the [[Notable Tajara]] page, and heavily modifying Eastern European or Arabic names.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
To create a native Tajaran name, you will need to access the '''unofficial''' translator [http://mk.darkserver.co.uk/lang/index.php here]. Select Siik’maas under the language drop down. By typing in certain words or phrases, then translating, you can utilize Tajaran words to create a name. Typically, you will want to connect multiple Tajaran words with an apostrophe or hyphen, however combining two words without a space is acceptable.

*For the Individual aspect, use a phrase, trait, or concept.
**For example: Love becomes Azutul. S'rendarr's Warmth (Kirmah rajzir. Zir) becomes Kirmah’rajzir.
*For the Dynasty aspect, you may use any text you prefer. Regions and cities with royalty or dynasty attached usually garners better results. Hadiists typically utilize the name of the city or region they were born.
**For example: Kaltir Royalty (Jurlket mir mrra) becomes Jurlket’mir. Nal’tor (Jri chur) becomes Jri’chur
*For the Purpose aspect, use the title of the job or craft of the Tajara. Use multiple versions of a given job or trade for better results.
**For example: Police Officer (Kaii'r manq rir) becomes Kaii’rirmanq. Prince becomes Vahkal.
*The final name becomes: Azutul Jurlket’mir Kaii’rirmanq.
**From this, you can tell the individual is Azutul or named love, whose liege is the Jurlket’mir or Kaltir Royalty, and performs work as a Kaii’rirmanq or officer.

The translator output rarely gives a word or name ready for use. Modification will be required as seen in the examples provided. This also means that names cannot be decoded.

==== Xeno-Influenced Names ====

Given native tajaran names are difficult for humans to pronounce, the PRA once encouraged the use of humanized names. This resulted in many Tajara taking on names derived from Eastern European or Arabic origin, as xeno-linguists found these the easiest for Tajara to pronounce. Following the transition of power from Al’marii to President Hadii, the PRA has walked back on this stance and since issued a decree to encourage citizens retake their native names as a form of pride in tradition and loyalty to the party. Many Hadiists have heeded this decree and returned to their native names, however a sizable population continues to use their adopted names. Given Tajara may have multiple names, the Adhomian governments are more dedicated in the tracking of names.

===Language===
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 Tajaran languages such as Siik’Maas or Siik’tajr is not forbidden by SCC 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 the 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. 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.

Tajaran culture necessitates a separation of the personal self and the external self. This cultural force can be traced back to the early worship of the Twin Suns, which throughout its history has emphasized a separation of personal and public matters. This separation was later reinforced by the nobility, eventually becoming an embedded part of all Tajaran languages. The result is a grammatical structure that separates the private and public self. In Tau Ceti Basic, this has been translated into the use of first, second, and third person pronouns as the closest fit.

The public self, third-person pronouns (he/him, she/her), is the formal state. It shows respect and a distancing of one’s personal matters from others. Traditionalist Tajara would expect the use of the Dynasty aspect and appropriate titles when speaking in the public self. However, those from progressive regions rarely pay attention to the use of aspects as the weight of dynasties and the nobility is not present. Strangers meeting, a subordinate addressing a superior, and other cases where formality and respect is expected uses the public self.
<blockquote>
"'''His''' greetings to the '''madam'''."

In this line, Person A speaks to Person B's public self through his own. As Person A does not know Person B’s name or title, madam is used to maintain respect.
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
“Hello '''Officer Smith'''. She is '''chef Al-Kandari'''.”

Person A addresses Person B, a human, through their title and last name. Person A maintains the public self through the use of her own title and Dynasty aspect.
</blockquote>

The use of second-person pronouns (you/your) can depend on where someone is from. Non-traditionalist regions, such as the Hadiist lands, don’t consider second-person pronouns formal or informal. Traditional cultures, such as the New Kingdom, find second-person pronouns informal. In this latter case, it is reserved for use by a superior addressing a subordinate or similar cases.
<blockquote>
“'''You''' need to handle that report by tomorrow. '''She''' will ensure it shows on '''your''' performance review otherwise.”

Person A addresses Person B through the personal self (you/your). It shows that Person A is either disrespectful, a superior, or from regions where the use of ‘you’ is not informal.
</blockquote>
The personal self, first-person pronouns (I/me/mine), is the informal state. It is addressing matters on a personal level where formality is not required, or genuinity is desired. The Individual aspect can be used by itself in this state. Close friends, personal moments, and similar matters would use the personal self.
<blockquote>
“'''I''' am unsure what '''you''' mean by this. '''Your''' proposal vexes '''me'''.”

Person A uses the personal self and addresses Person B in the personal self. This establishes a close and informal conversation or is used to disrespect Person B by addressing them directly.
</blockquote>
Transitioning from public to personal selfs is easy. The initiator who desires to make the conversation informal starts by referring to themself in the personal self. If the other participants agree to make a conversation informal, then they respond in kind using the personal self. Otherwise, they may continue to use the public self and maintain the conversation’s formality.
<blockquote>
"No, '''I''' simply wanted to be introduced to '''her'''. '''My''' name is '''Abdal Akhtarov'''."

Person A steps into the personal self but is still speaking to Person B through her public self. This is an invitation to personal conversation, done respectfully by not involving Person B's personal self directly.
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
"Hello, '''Mr. Akhtarov'''. '''I''' am '''Aisha'''. Does '''he''' wish to speak elsewhere?"

Person B is still speaking to Person A's public self, however refers to herself in the personal self, accepting the invitation to an informal conversation. In the following conversation, it would be acceptable for both to use personal self.
</blockquote>
The use of the public and personal self by non-Tajara can be jarring for those not acclimated to human environments. Tajara not used to human space can find it disrespectful how the use of the personal self is standard. Those acclimated to non-Tajaran patterns of speech rarely take issue with the lack of distinction between public and personal self. Referring to a non-Tajara through informal pronouns is broadly acceptable, however the use of first-person pronouns, the personal self, as a default often takes years in human space and a concerted effort for a Tajara to transition to.

==== Slang/Terminology ====
Tajara, like every species, has a wide variety of slang terms in both Tajaran languages and Tau Ceti Basic. While no list can be truly comprehensive, as slang is ever changing, certain phrases and terms have become widespread enough to be known by nearly all Tajara.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Siik'maas uses suffixes to define many aspects of the language. Slang is no different and can be modified in much the same way as any other Siik'maas word. Some examples include:

Adjective: -iye (I.E. T'ishkiye - Robotic)

Plural: -ra (I.E. Tivrra/Tivra - Humans)

Diminutive: -nry/-ni (I.E. Nav'henry/Nav'heni - Tiny Unathi)

Augmentive: -imy (I.E. Rafamaimy - Big Rafama)

{| class="wikitable" style="margin:auto"
|-
! Phrase !! Meaning !! Origin
|-
| T'zivr/Tivr || Xeno, Human || Beginning as a term for solely humans, T'zivr, or "furless", grew to incorporate all aliens as a whole. The term is not wholly considered derogatory, however is seen as less acceptable than xeno or alien.
|-
| Dornshky || Furless || A strong insult originating from the physical condition itself. While it is a common insult among Tajara, it includes a more derogatory way to refer to aliens.
|-
| T'ishk || IPCs, Robots, Hadiists || Originating from the Siik term for soulless, T'ishk became a widespread insult for Hadiists and robots alike among Little Adhomai, quickly spreading to other Tajaran communities and, ultimately, back to Adhomai.
|-
| M'ishk || IPCs || The non-derogatory version of T'ishk, M'ishk more specifically refers to IPCs, directly translating as "artificial soul". It started as a shorthand of Manq'ishk, however quickly gained traction within the People's Republic, and later other Tajaran communities.
|-
| Sha'tajii/Shatii || Dionae || Directly translating to "wood peoples", the term began from Little Adhomai where contact between Tajara and Dionae took place frequently enough to generate a slang term.
|-
| Kirr || Vaurca || Directly translating to "insect", the slur originated from Little Adhomian gangs warring with Vaurca living in neighboring districts. The term spread rapidly following the murders of multiple Tajara ordered by Vaurca Queen Ta'Akaix'Zoleth'akeh Zo'ra.
|-
| Nav'hen || Unathi || A contraction of the phrase "dahal Nav henrhesi", translating to "dies in the cold". The phrase began as a tongue-in-cheek way to refer to Unathi mercenaries within the S'rand'marr Coalition by ALA soldiers, before spreading to Little Adhomai where it was shortened to Nav'hen.
|-
| Ratajani || Skrell || Originating from the folk tales of small, ugly, stump-tailed, neon colored creatures. Characterized as greedy and the cause of unlucky events in life, Ratajani was quickly applied to Skrell upon first contact. This use of the term as a slur quickly overtook the earlier and less derogatory use as comparison to misbehaving children.
|-
| K'strelkii || Mercenary, Corporate Drone || Translating as "money soldier", the term grew out of the spite among Tajara towards corporate busy-bodies and mercenary groups.
|-
| Rafama || Stubborn, Hard-headed, Territorial || Originating from the behavior of Rafamas on Adhomai, the term is a long historic name for any person acting particularly stubborn or stand-offish.
|-
| Raskaren || Noble, Enforcer || Based upon the mythological Raskaren, a creature of Raskara that drinks blood and is incapable of surviving sunlight. The term grew to become a slur against nobles and M'sai enforcers. While predominantly used within the [[Free Tajaran Council]], the term has been slowly spreading to Little Adhomai and Adhomai proper. It is banned within the New Kingdom.
|-
| T'Kalta || Royalist, Poor || Forming from a joke regarding the relatively high rates of poverty within the New Kingdom, T'Kalta, translating to "without money", grew in popularity across the People's Republic and Democratic People's Republic.
|-
| Njaqrii || Noble Dynasty || Translating into "noble family collective", the Njaqrii is what amounts to a dynasty. One must be a Njarir to be within a Njaqrii. These dynasties can be expansive, covering sometimes hundreds of Tajara. The distinction between dynasties is primarily determined by recognition from other Njaqrii. Given progress nations on Adhomai abhor the nobility, Njaqarii remains a matter only relevant to the [[New Kingdom of Adhomai]] and history.
|-
| Njarii || Noble House || Where Njaqrii is the noble family, Njarii is the noble "house". Njarii act, in essence, like a business centered around the matters of the Njaqrii, or sections within the Njaqrii. The Njarii includes far more individuals, spanning from servants and workers to the nobility themselves. Establishing a Njarii is a legal matter within the [[New Kingdom of Adhomai]], however in the [[People's Republic of Adhomai]] and [[Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai]], Njarii remain unrecognized or illegal.
|-
| T'Ruv || Shameless, Al'mariist || A rare Hadiist term that was applied to Al'mariists for the perceived shamelessness in illegal and underhanded tactics during the Second Revolution. The term has since grown and spread across Tajaran communities.
|-
| T'Zhunii || Hick, Redneck || Translating to "lacking desire people", the term spread as a catch-all for rural peasantry. The exact origins are believed to be a jab at the lack of time or willpower for rural peasantry to hold greater ambitions.
|-
| Vak'a || Idiot, Airhead, Bro || Originating from Little Adhomai, Vak'a spread rapidly as a general way to refer to a friend, equivalent to saying dude or bro.
|-
| Vakalnar || Grifter || Meaning "air salesman", equivalent to calling someone a snake oil salesman.
|-
| Tyrhal || Hell || Tajaran religions have no singular lands that are considered the equivalent to hell among Human religions. However, ancient tales mentioned Tyrhal, or 'land of demons'. Tyrhal was saved from obscurity when Little Adhomian residents wanted a Tajaran version of the human term hell. The term spread as a compromise for those Tajara who wanted to adopt Human mannerisms while maintaining Tajaran culture.
|-
| Azukavo/Azuvo || Love you || Not inherently slang, the use of Azuvo has become desensitized in more progressive communities of Tajara. Rather than being an intimate expression not fit for use in public, it has seen less stigma in use, albeit still associated with loved ones and close friends.
|-
| Ketvo (Ane)! || Onwards, Let's Go, To Victory || Translated literally as "March to victory!", Ketvo Ane was established as a phrase within People's Republic military leadership. Being the standard phrase to initiate movement or actions, it became widespread during the Second Revolution, even among the other nations as turncoats brought the phrase along with them. Post-war, the phrase spread rapidly.
|-
| Blinder || Overwhelming, Too Much || Descended from the concept of S’rendarr’s light being the embodiment of energy and life. Having too much of S’rendarr’s light may blind someone, therefore for something to be a Blinder it exudes too much energy, S’rendarr’s light.
|-
| Half-Knuckle || Poor, Fraternizer (Royalist) || Originating from a noble snide. Knuckles are the smallest form of currency on Adhomai, therefore to call someone a half-knuckle implies they are so poor as to only have a half-knuckle. Within Royalist society, the term additionally refers to nobles who are seen as fraternizing too much with commoners.
|-
| Top Snow || Young, Inexperienced, New || A term referring to the top layer of snow, often fresh light snow. Someone who is Top Snow is fresh, equivalent to the human term "green horn".
|-
| Washoff || Old, Undesirable, Lackluster || Referring to the runoff of melted summer snow, called washoff on Adhomai, the term grew to be used for undesirable items or people, likened at times to the phrase ‘getting long in the tooth’.
|-
| Bronzer || Jackboot, Enforcer, Cop || Descended from the bronze emblems used to denote an on-duty enforcer. Used in a derogatory manner against cops, enforcers, and authority figures alike.
|-
| Bookie || Bookworm, Royalist, Dork || Stemming from the cultural view of books as symbols of noble oppression, bookie is a term used to insult someone within progressive cultures as a royalist, or someone who tolerates or encourages noble oppression. Can also be an insult equivalent of calling someone a dork, nerd, etc.
|-
| Torcher || Friendly, Happy, Positive || Originating from the symbol of Azubarre’s torch, calling someone a torcher implies they embody Azubarre’s torch, and therefore his qualities of positivity, friendliness, and true love. Over time, the connotations associated with Azubarre, namely the more romantic elements, became less emphasized, resulting in the slang becoming a catch all for friendliness and positivity.

===Emotional Displays===
Because of their anatomy, Tajara express emotions in different ways than Humans. Baring one’s teeth is a strong expression of challenge or mockery. As such, Tajara rarely smile by showing the teeth, instead wrinkling the nose by gently lifting the sides of the muzzle. The folding of ears is a clear sign of fear or worry, while perking the ears forward shows attention or interest. Ears will involuntarily flick when exposed to loud sounds.

The semi-prehensile tail of Tajara allows for a great amount of expression. Enough emphasis has been placed on the tail as a form of expression and language that Tajara afflicted with Hakh’jar are commonly misread or have to vocalize their current emotion. Tajaran tails naturally sway, however a rapid sway or wag is a childish sign of satisfaction. Curving the tail downward and blistering is a clear sign of hostility, whereas tucking the tail down by the feet is a stress response. The flicking of the tail end is a sign of anger or anxiety.

Displays of affection among Tajara are rarely seen in public, and looked down on by traditionally minded Tajara. The common forms of affection are the bumping as muzzles or holding of the wrist. While less common, twining the tail around an ankle or wrist is seen as equivalent to holding the wrist. Intertwining tails, however, is seen as a childish expression of affection. Hugging is not seen romantically. It is seen as a transfer of body heat and thus a common act between friends, comrades, and family alike. Those acclimated to human expression may view hugging as having a romantic component in certain contexts, however this is lost on those with a traditional mindset.

Status was a major aspect of emotional expression during the times of the nobility. When interacting with another of a higher social status, it was required for the lesser of the two to lower their head and pull the ears back. Having direct eye-contact or tilting the head up was seen as a show of defiance. These expectations have since been challenged and are often disregarded if not outright rejected since the fall of the old nobility, however those traditional-minded Tajara and Royalists within the New Kingdom continue to abide by the rules of status.

===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 protect 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.

[[File:Tajara dance .png|240px|thumb|right|Two tajara wearing traditional dresses during a musical performance.]]
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.

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.

====Fur Dying====
One of the flashier aspects of fashion and looks is fur dye. History saw extensive use of early fur dyes as methods to mark oneself as part of an in-group. Certain nobles would demand their enforcers and soldiers mark the noble’s crest on their neck, back, or arms. These symbols came to be associated with royalist loyalty well into the early history of the People’s Republic. Fur dye was banned during Al’mari’s reign, deemed as royalist sentiment. These restrictions came to an end during the beginning of the Second Revolution when Malik Hadii revoked the ban and instituted it across the People’s Republic’s agencies.

In the present day, fur dye is commonly used to signify what it once did: presence in an in-group. Whether it be a mark of one’s nation, military unit, or other such matters. Fur dye as an expression of the self is a relatively new concept to mainstream society. Regardless of intent, markings from fur dye are typically small due to the cost of dyes which prohibit large or extravagant designs. Fur dyes remain almost exclusively in earthen tones and dark colors. The most popular color, due to its cheap price and wide availability, is Earthen-Root Blue (Hex: #6082B6). Few bright colors exist and are viewed as particularly disruptive and taboo.

Many complications exist with fur dyes. Care and preparation must be taken to properly dye Tajaran fur, or else the fur becomes damaged and sheds. The restrictive range of colors is due, in part, to the lack of a synthetic dye that caters to Tajaran fur. This leaves Tajara with Adhomian sourced dyes that rely upon Adhomian flora of which few vibrant colors are available compared to earthen tones. NanoTrasen remains the largest producer of Tajaran dyes, fur, and mane soaps.

=== Cuisine ===
[[File:Taj food.png|240px|thumb|right|A common Tajaran 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 were 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 long-lasting nature. 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 thrown 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 Adhomian 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 - has 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 which even learned peasants who had to pay out of pocket to access. This led to the 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.

Traveling circuses have been present in the Tajaran culture since ancient times. Joining a troupe was one of the few available ways for a Tajara to escape the rigid roles of the caste system. Performances usually include trained animals, acrobatics, storytelling, puppetry, strength displays, magic performance, creep shows, and stores selling all kinds of food and curiosities. Since circus schools only started to appear after the First Revolution, artists frequently transmitted their techniques to their pupils. Due to the previous conflicts and the ongoing cold war, wandering troupes face large barriers than ever before. Some of the biggest circuses have left for the stars in search of a more welcoming audience than Adhomai.

===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 with 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 on 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.

Tabletop RPGs and wargames are popular for Tajara in urban centers. The Tajaran tradition of storytelling lent itself to these games being easily understood and quickly enjoyed by players who saw them as an evolution of the tales that priests shared in their communities. The tabletop scene sprouted a few years following the First Revolution’s end with Siik’maas translated versions of human and skrell tabletops. These were adapted later into localized versions that then became entirely Tajaran systems. The most well-known of these games is “Global Conquest”, originally made by the PRA and then adapted by DPRA and NKA companies, this board game replicates the conquest of Adhomai by different armies. Another is “Explorators of the Unknown”, a modular game where players play as characters exploring or investigating a world of their design.

The notion of video games is unknown to the natives of 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 her village 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 players in the PRA and a larger following in the NKA. 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. Mahmrro came to be associated with the lower classes towards the end of the Steeple Peace. This attitude is visible in the NKA where nobility largely avoid playing the game. Leagues exist in every country for the game with these Mahmrro Clubs gaining much fame.

*'''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.

*'''Baghrar:''' an ancient martial art from Adhomai primarily used for sport and contests of strength. The fighting style consists of strikes against the opponent from the waist up. The form of the attacks is primarily swiping motions that take advantage of a Tajara's claws to rake an opponent's torso or head. Other moves include punching for friendlier matches or stabbing forward with the claws in typical confrontations. Modern Baghrariri, or people who practice the Baghrar style for sport, usually fight with implements that cover and support their nails to avoid serious bodily damage. Modern Baghrar fights are decided upon with a point-scoring system over three 10-minute rounds, but historical victories were secured by knocking opponents onto the ground. Baghrar has been adapted into several different styles used by Adhomaian police and army units.

====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 the 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 horizontally 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 ===
''For more information, see [[Tajaran Military Structures]]''

Warfare and militaries on Adhomai are catered to the environment demands of the snowy planet. Logistics are a prized necessity, with entire wars being won through denying the opposing side consistent access to heat and food. Since the First Revolution, guerilla warfare and mobility doctrines have defined Tajaran warfighting. With the end of the Second Revolution, previous doctrines were shattered. New realities have forced each nation's military into its own place, developing separately not for the war fought previously, but the war it anticipates. As a result, Adhomian military technologies have received some of the largest research and development. It remains to be seen how these advances will play out, or how each nation has prepared itself under the new geopolitical reality.

The military hardware of Adhomai is a blend of proven, if dated, technologies and advanced experimental concepts. The bulk of Tajaran soldiers across the 3 nations are armed with new semi-automatic rifles, or automatic rifles in the case of the People's Republic's Tsarrayut’yan rifle. These weapons, however, are based on reliable systems tested in the chaos of the Second Revolution. Weathered against the cold, and prepared for years of abuse, Adhomian rifles are among the sturdiest and most reliable in mass-production. Energy-based rifles are uncommon. Concerns of lasers reflecting off the snow, revealing one's positions, and the scarcity of reliable energy sources have pushed the new technology to the side. The People's Republic's Icelance rifle has beat the odds even if it is reserved for the elites of the Republican Guard. Partisans see use of the enduring Harrzhak bolt-action rifle. Special forces find their own in lever-action rifles, Hotaki sniper rifles, or other specialized weapons. Close-in engagements still make frequent use of bayonets and swords. Shotguns and submachine guns are, ironically, reserved for shock troops. Regardless of situation, Adhomai has a rifle that suits one's needs. They are cheap and reliable, albeit at times dated but no less effective.

Tajaran artillery is where the cunning of Tajaran engineering shines. 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. Even as venerable howitzers and emplacements see use decades, sometimes nearly a century, of use, Tajara continue to expand their artillery repertoire. Massive self-propelled guns within the ALA ride alongside their fearsome tanks while the People's Republic develops exosuits carrying large artillery cannons. The New Kingdom has found use in large railway cannons, among the largest to be produced on Adhomai, alongside the mass of naval vessels capable of fire support.

==== Notable Weapons ====
'''Harrzhak Bolt-Action Rifle:''' A venerable design hailing from the mid-Steeple Peace era. It is a cheap bolt-action rifle designed the minimize exposure of the action to the outside elements. Despite the simplicity of the design, it is capable of great accuracy.

'''Adhokorr Sword:''' A sword pattern originating from, and associated heavily with, Amohda. It is a straight single-edged blade that extends roughly 1.5 meters in length. The grip is typically made from local wood and bound in fabric or leather. It is intended for use with two-hands but is capable of single-handed use.

'''Sahikorr Blade:''' A curved sword designed during the Warring Kings era. It features a long and thin blade of varying lengths. It is without a guard, with most modern variants making use of a metal-reinforced grip. All manner of Sahikorr blades exist, from ceremonial officer swords to cheap and mass-produced partisan blades.

=== 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 musicals. Some artistic Hharar who lived before the war give 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 that the sun god S'rendarr celebrates. Tajara under the worship of Ma'ta'ke have a less celebratory and less ritualistic ceremony, instead, they have 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.

Throughout history, the concept of gender in Tajara society varied over time. Archaeological evidence suggests that before the Incarnate Dominion, multiple identities—often related to religious practices—existed. Like everything else, the nobility's breeding project also molded the perception of gender in Adhomai. Njarir’Akhran, with their great emphasis on their bloodline, were the ones with the strictest and defined gender roles. While the Zhan-Khazan rarely cared about these definitions, seeing little distinction between them. After the revolution, gender in the Tajara society changed as well, but it did not free itself fully from the shackles of the pre-contact oppression.

In history, transgender Tajara were more common among Njarir and Hharar due to their more defined gender roles. Before the revolution, these individuals were often in a nebulous state, as they were still obligated to participate in the eugenics program. While some could still find suitable partners, others had to find other outlets, such as joining religious societies or becoming outcasts. Ma'ta'ke priesthood is open to transgender Tajara who identify as their patron god's gender. The Church of S'rand'marr rejects these notions and maintains a strong distinction within its organization based on the gender assigned at birth of its members.

Third gender and nonbinary identities have historically been associated with religious and mystical perspectives. Those who could combine and balance both aspects were typically priests or mystics, known to have achieved some form of enlightenment. Only after the revolution are these identities now explored without the trappings of the occult. The older generations are usually confused by younger individuals who identify as such, with more religious Tajara being outraged at them for appropriating something that was once sacred.

Sexual orientation was a poorly defined concept for the Tajara until the contact. With the emphasis on the caste system, most individuals were expected to have a partner of the same ethnicity with whom they could reproduce, despite their preferences. The nobility often persecuted any relationship or behavior that threatened the caste project. The nobility strictly forbade any kind of relationship with a Tajara of a different ethnicity.

After the civil war, theories and studies about gender and orientation have begun to emerge among revolutionary thinkers. The most radical theorists argued that such concepts were constructions of the old nobility to further their control, calling for forgetting such ideas in favor of new visions. Currently, the Tajara society still upholds gender roles similar to those before the contact, mainly based on one's heritage. The concept of a defined and clear sexual orientation is still fairly new. Only now free of the oppressive Njarir system, the Tajara are free to think about these matters as they develop further socially, even if frequently tainted by the lingering old prejudices. The other species' vision of these matters is seen as alien; even a traditional Tajara would not care to pass judgment on anything that does not involve their people.

Because of the Tajara's recent history as a repressive, conservative species, they still carry many prejudices from the period before the revolution. Overt displays of affection, xenophilia, and interracial relationships among Tajara are looked down on and treated as deviancy. The pre-contact nobility purposefully encouraged these sentiments to further preserve the caste system.

===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.

===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.

== 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.

== Biology ==
[[File:Tajara_Child.png|thumb|A Tajaran mother with her child.]]
Tajara are an omnivorous bipedal humanoid species. While on a surface level Tajara appear to be humanoid felines, scientifically and practically Tajara share little in common with Earth’s felines beyond certain visual elements. Tajaran bodies are strongly adapted for the Adhomian environment, an arctic and turbulent planet. Evolved to survive the harsh weather, temperatures, and hostile fauna, Tajara are well adapted to cold-weather environments, speed, and perception.

===Fur and Mane===
Tajara are covered in a layer of thick fur that provides insulation from the cold, protection from diseases, and weather solar radiation. The only regions left without fur are the pads of the hands and feet, alongside the eyes and various orifices. This fur performs extremely well at insulating against the cold and shedding snow or water. However, Tajaran fur is vulnerable to degradation caused by chemical or physical means. To counter this, damaged fur ‘sheds’ off to allow a healthy follicle to replace it. Otherwise, Tajara do not shed on a regular basis. Tajaran fur has a predetermined length at which it will not grow further, with exception to manes.

Manes are made of a unique strain of Tajaran fur that is stronger and wirier than the rest of a Tajara’s fur. Manes do not stop growth, instead they continually grow unless prevented by chemical means. The growth pattern of a mane can vary from Tajara to Tajara. It is not uncommon for manes to grow around the entire head, not unlike Earth's lion manes. Male Tajara additionally grow what amounts to beards and mustaches along the muzzle. Manes are a complex biological component for Tajara. They assist in heat regulation and insulate the ears when they are folded back into the head. The follicles assist the body in healing wounds as well as boosting the Tajaran immune system.

===Body Fat===

Body fat is stored in two ways: The fat reservoir and the fat layer. The fat reservoir is a non-essential organ within the lower body. It stores excess fats that may be used for energy, heat, or to replace lost fat in the fat layer. While the reservoir is non-essential, the loss of the reservoir can cause numerous complications. Those lacking a reservoir starve faster, lacking an essential store of energy when there is a lack of food. The reservoir’s fat also partially fuels Tajaran heat generation, meaning those without a reservoir are typically colder. The fat layer is an essential insulating layer beneath the fur. It acts as equal parts temperature insulation and physical protection, using the layer to dampen blunt trauma.

===Environmental Adaptations===

Tajaran adaptations to extremely low-temperature environments have the tendency to cause overheating issues in more mild environments. The primary methods by which Tajara expel heat are the pads of the hands and feet, as well as the ears and breath. It is common for Tajara to shorten the fur around the ears to increase heat dissipation. Typically, Tajara will attempt to cool their skin or lower their internal temperature as the insulation of the fur and fat layer also assists in keeping the cold in.

Tajara are built to favor efficient use of energy as opposed to raw strength. Tajaran muscles are lean, built for sustained use over long periods time rather than bursts of power. This is exemplified by the Tajaran gait. Specialized for movement through snow, Tajaran biology favors a consistent speed capable of trudging through snow efficiently as opposed to sprinting. Outside of snowy environments, the lack of resistance correlates to a faster walk speed. However, this does not mean Tajara are not capable of great feats of strength. Training and practice can produce strength competitive with human athletes, albeit with more effort required as the muscles produced are built for endurance and not raw power.

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 have large pupils, capable of contracting significantly faster than other creatures, sapient or otherwise. The Tajaran eye has uniquely evolved to physically alter its structure to achieve different functions. The eyes may focus the lens and physically contract the rear of the eye to increase the density of rods, allowing for extreme low-light vision, albeit colorless vision and at great risk of bright lights harming the eye and causing pain. A similar process can be performed to focus a Tajara’s vision at a far target. The eye contracts in a different manner to focus at great lengths, effectively extending one’s vision. While a Tajara can attempt to use low-light and far-vision at the same time, it often results in diminished low-light vision at distance, and can be painful when performed for long periods of time. To protect the eye from snow blindness and keep the eye moist against wind, Tajaran eyes have nictitating membranes.

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. Tajaran ears, similarly to Tajaran eyes, are capable of contorting their physical structure to achieve different goals. The ears can shift to amplify quieter noises, at risk of damage and pain should a loud noise be made close to the ear. Tajaran ears are often warmer than the rest of the body as they are the primary method of heat dissipation.

Tajara possess a pair of digitigrade legs and otherwise humanoid arms. Each hand has 5 digits, each with a 1-2 cm claw. These claws are non-retractable and particularly sharp. These claws can be filed down if more dexterity is needed, however this is done with great care and caution as cutting claws too short can be incredibly incredibly painful and will expose nerves to the air. Tajaran feet carry 4 roughly equal-sized digits. These digits also have claws, however they are more blunted and hooked compared to their hand-based counterparts to assist in grip and stability on rocky or snowy surfaces.

Tajaran tails are long, semi-prehensile extremities that, while appearing not particularly useful, are vital. The place of the tail takes on a biological and societal role. Biologically, the tail is necessary for balance and environmental awareness. While Tajara may be bipedal, much of their flexibility and maneuverability is owed to the tail providing superior balance and stability. The tail has higher bundles of sensory nerves that assist in environmental awareness, notable vibrations. Societally, tails are a fundamental part of Tajaran body language and communication. Most languages require tails, either for communicating the language itself or to inflect meaning and tone into sentences. It also provides a visible display of body language.

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. However, these molars remain sharper than human molars to pierce the tough skins of Adhomian produce. Evolutionary biologists believe that predecessors to modern Tajara had rough tongues with few taste buds to facilitate eating raw meat. The contemporary species 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.

===Tajaran Build an Lifecycle===

Tajara are sexually dimorphic, however the differences are rarely notable. Males are typically taller, have broader shoulders, more pointed ears, and larger hands and feet. Females have elongated muzzles, shorter ears, and an additional set of molars. Mothers do not exhibit visible breasts until pregnancy, at which point they swell in order to provide for the young. These breasts contract around three months after birth when the young transition to normal food.
[[File:Cats.png|400px|thumb|right|An artist sketch of Tajaran dimorphism, builds, and general stance.]]
Tajaran height and weight are primarily dependent on ethnicity. However, upbringing and access to food often dictates height, with less access resulting in shorter Tajara. Heights and weights often vary. Tajara shorter or taller than the range typical for their ethnicity often face medical issues as a result.

'''M’sai:''' 160 cm to 170 cm. 80.1 kg to 90.4 kg.<br>
'''Hharar:''' 150 cm to 160 cm. 68.2 kg to 77.6 kg.<br>
'''Njarir:''' 165 cm to 175 cm. 82.5 kg to 92.8 kg.<br>
'''Zhan:''' 170 cm to 190 cm. 82.9 kg to 103.6 kg.<br>

The Tajaran lifecycle is more rapid relative to other species. A Tajaran fetus only takes 6 months to mature, with Tajaran children reaching the full extent of their physical growth by 15 or 16. Modern medicine sees most Tajara now live beyond 70 years with the oldest Tajara reaching nearly 100. However, ages beyond 80 often require intensive and expensive medical technologies. Most Tajara retire at 60 when the body becomes too aged to work.

The sleep cycle of the Tajaran species is one of their most scientifically curious features. A normal waking period is somewhere between 36 and 58 hours, with a subsequent 20 to 28 hours of sleep. Normally, the waking period is spotted with 3 to 4 15-minute naps to keep the Tajara refreshed and alert. This is universal in all worlds with Tajara 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 who do not enter the sleep cycle properly, or attempt to break it in order to conform to a human sleep cycle, may find themselves groggy, aggressive, paranoid, and disoriented until their circadian rhythm is righted.

===Ethnicities===
''For information about the ethnicities, their traits, and their cultures: see [[Tajaran 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 that they play in a society to which their biological inclinations make them more suited, 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', further reinforced by their larger presence in cities. Given their status as the ‘face’ of Tajara, Hharar have grown to take over many diplomatic and public-facing jobs following the establishment of the People’s Republic of Adhomai. Hharar societally are the artisans and tradies, typically focusing on more skilled trades. Being the original urbanites, Hharar culture is what has been exported as ‘Tajaran culture’ across the Spur. They are the creators of the [[S’rendarr and Messa|Twin Suns worship]].

'''Zhan-Khazan:''' considered to be the backbone of Tajaran society. 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 body weight, they are well-suited to tasks requiring brute strength and heavy lifting. Zhan-Khazan fill the societal role of the laborer. They are the workers and managers of mines, farms, construction sites, etc. Being the dominant race in the restaurants and inns, much of Tajaran food culture comes from the Zhan-Khazan, as well as the religion of the [[Ma’ta’ke Gods]].

'''M'sai:''' 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 a vision adapted to compensate 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 First Revolution. 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 leadership roles, the arts, and the sciences.

=== Coloration ===
Fur color is the most noticeable aspect of a Tajara. It acts as a natural camouflage and is the most visible difference between the ethnicities. Ancient history saw these fur colors appear in certain regions of Adhomai, however over millennia of migration, marriage, and modern travel, every coloration of fur can be seen across Adhomai and now the Spur.

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.

'''These fur colors are suggestions and guidelines. Any one Tajara could have a variation of the colors shown, whether it be lighter or darker.'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
{| align:Center
|-
====Hharar:====
Hharar fur coloration traces back to the proto-Hharar peoples of Southern Ras'nrr. The forests between the Rhazar and Khazan mountains alongside the fertile soil allowed for the invention of farming, and later the formation of Adhomai’s first civilizations. The Hharar people evolved to feature brown fur colorations due to the numerous woods they lived in.

|-
| '''Prairie Brown'''
Being the most common coloration of Hharar fur, Prairie Brown was once associated with the numerous Hharar working the fields across Ras’nrr. Despite this association, it is not considered the oldest fur coloration, instead being a variation that occured in those living among the fields of the warmer prairies of the Ras’nrr Heartlands.
| '''Azumah Wood'''
This fur color dates far older than the name it is associated with. Once referred to as simply “Summer Brown”, the name Azumah Wood became widespread following the massive success of a logging company in the Azumah lake region during the Steeple Peace. The wood products were advertised and sold with the image of a kochiba furred logger chopping down “Azumah grade” trees. The logging company has since then gone defunct, being known only as the source of a strange origin for the term.
| '''Harbor Brown'''
Harbor Brown carries the title of being the oldest known fur coloration among Hharar, having been the predominant coloration amongst the proto-Hharar of the Southern Ras’nrr region. However, in modern times it has been titled after the numerous harbor workers found across Adhomai, even if they no longer are a majority of sailors.

====Zhan-Khazan:====
Zhan fur colorations are the result of a long history of mountain tribes. Even during winter seasons, the darker fur colorations permitted better camouflage with the rocky terrain of the Ras’nrr mountains.

|-
| '''Rhazar Fog'''
During Sil’nryy-aysaif, the foot of the Rhazar mountains are commonly blanketed in a thick fog. The rare blue coloration of this fog became closely associated with the local Zhan population who shared a similar fur color with that of the mountain rock. Regardless, the fur coloration took on the name of the far more popular fog than the relatively mundane mountain rock.
| '''Khazan Rock Grey'''
The proto-Zhan-Khazan people were infamously put down during the Incarnate Dominion. The majority featured a dark-grey fur that became synonymous with the Zhan tribes of the Khazan mountains that the ethnicity, and fur, are now named after.
| '''Nraz’i Mud'''
Of the Zhan tribes, those in the Nraz’i mountains enjoyed the warmest winters. The hinterlands of the Sum’add coast become a muddy mess when the snow melt of the Nraz’i mountains washes onto the thawed soil. The fur color common of the region’s Zhan tribes became associated with the mud, then taking the name it has now.
| '''Cavern Black'''
Caves formed a natural home for the first Zhan’khazan to settle within. These served as strong homes and fortresses alike for the ancient peoples. It is not believed that these conditions resulted in the dark coloration being prevalent among the Zhan, despite old tales claiming such. This uncommon coloration originated from the southern Rhazkjara mountains.

====Njarir'Akhran:====
Njarir fur colorations are the results of the extensive eugenics programs employed by the Adhomian nobilities. Through decades of careful merging of M’sai and Hharar bloodlines, along with high amounts of inbreeding, Njarir now feature the flashiest fur colors among Tajara. Despite the inherent nature of genetics, reputations for different fur colorations have taken root among noble circles even following the revolutions.

|-
| '''Steeple Light'''
Seen as the ultimate fur coloration produced by the infamous eugenics programs, Steeple Light gained its name after a Rasn’rr emperor of the early Steeple Peace declared his fur, a bright orange, to be the manifestation of S’rendarr’s light. Some esoteric circles in the New Kingdom have adopted this belief upon its rediscovery. While the emperor’s name was lost to the books burned in the First Revolution, his declaration remains as the name of this fur coloration. It is a highly sought after coloration among nobles.
| '''Hadii Red'''
Once a mundane coloration, Hadii Red has become an intimidating presence following the rise of the Hadii Dynasty. The vast majority of the family has some variation of this fur, with many rumors claiming they place great effort and care that the coloration is maintained in their offspring. It is an uncommon joke for Njarir who have this fur to say that they’re secretly a Hadii.
| '''Ras’val Royal'''
Many of the noble families who came to rule the regions surrounding the Ras’val sea featured the ruddy coloration of what is now known as Ras’val Royal. While previously considered the coloration of middling nobles, the rise of the Azunja family to the head of the New Kingdom has led to the coloration being perceived as the height of royalty.
| '''Half-Knuckle White'''
This fur color was common among lower nobility across Adhomai during the Steeple peace. The term Half-Knuckle White was coined as a slur against those nobles who were seen as fraternizing too much with their enforcers resulting in a “washed out” fur color. Genetic research shows that these claims had little backing, but this has yet to make an effect on the thoroughly cemented name.

{| align:Center
|-
====M'sai:====
M’sai fur is the result of the behaviors of proto-M’sai. Having been a nomadic people of the open prairies in Ras’nrr, the light fur color was often the only way Tajaran hunters were capable of hiding or blending into the environment.

|-
| '''Zarragh Washoff'''
Considered the most recent evolution of fur color, Zarragh Washoff garnered its name in the Zarr’jirah mountains. The lake-effect snow of the northern lake gained the name “washoff” due to how the new layers of snow would conceal rock and dirt chips on older snow, making the mountains easier to blend into.
| '''Field Snow'''
Field Snow is arguably the most common fur coloration amongst M’sai. Characteristic of the proto-M’sai hailing from the fields of the Nraz’i basin, upon the arrival of the nomadic tribes to Souther Ras'nrr the native proto-Hharar began to refer to their coloration as “Field Snow” after the coloration of fresh snow on the Ras’nrr prairies.
| '''Fatshouter White'''
Named after the coloration of fatshouter milk before processing, this coloration has dubious origins. Written history on much of the proto-m’sai peoples were sparse, however prevailing research suggests Fatshouter white primarily comes from those M’sai nomads from the inner western coast of the Nraz’i basin.
| '''Enforcer Silver'''
Being the second most common fur coloration of the M’sai people, Enforcer Silver garnered its name through association with the dreaded noble enforcers of history. The name was reinforced in older times when many noble families began to stamp enforcer insignias in silver, which often came close to the fur color of many M’sai who wore them.

==History==
''See also: [[Tajaran 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 the 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 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 their lower influence on the other nobility. It was during 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 the 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 labor 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 nobles 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 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. Older Tajara considered these large creations 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. Legislations were 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, and 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 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 to 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 the First Revolution, the Hadii emerged as the victorious faction. They had annexed, through diplomacy or war, the remaining factions. Human corporations took an express interest in the Hadii dynasty; they were one of the few noble families who saw profit in human stakes on Adhomai, and many back-room deals were made to secure the Hadii's position in the new Government. In '''2432 CE''', the People's Republic of Adhomai was officially declared, with '''Al'mari Hadii''', also known as Rhagrrhuzau Hadii, as its leader. The Tajaran public was markedly distressed by this turn of 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, had a monopoly over the majority of the planet's valuables. Collaboration between the People's Republic, the Sol Alliance, and the Nralakk Federation have resulted in more technological advances in Tajaran society recently than ever before in their recorded history. The People's Republic began campaigns to quickly industrialize Adhomai and educate its people. Approval ratings for the current leadership rose in response.

However, serious problems remained. '''Al'mari 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, Al'mari 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 among Adhomai's major power figures since Al'mari'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, Al'mari Hadii. In 2451 CE, during a military parade, President Al'mari was assassinated by Tufir Nazzirai. A known secret service agent of the People's Republic, the radical was swiftly sentenced to death for his betrayal, which claimed to be brought on by the violent tendencies of his Zhan-Khazan genetics. His brother and vice-president '''Njadrasanukii Hadii''', also known as Malik 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 Al'Mari Hadii. The single most defining moment of this generation of Tajara.]]

While Al'mari implemented his new policies, the People's Republic saw the return of a surviving dynasty, the Azunja, in the form of an uprising in its most remote region. This faction, the New Kingdom of Adhomai, attempted to bring back monarchism to Adhomai through a constitutional monarchy.

Many military generals who had fought for the Republic soon defected under the banner of the Adhomai Liberation Army, the leader of which being Al'mari's old friend and ally, '''Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan''', who claimed that he wanted to take control of the People's Republic to finally out Al'mari's legacy. "His gun was on stun" became the rallying cry of Nated's fiercest supporters 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.

With these two rebellions, Adhomai found itself embroiled in yet another global conflict.

===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 Nralakk. 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:Adhomaimodernmap.png|300px|thumb|A map of modern-day Adhomai.]]

===[[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 its 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 called 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 Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan]].

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; a 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==
===Names===
Native Tajaran names have changed over the storied history of the species. The earliest record of naming conventions appears in the Warring Kings era, where the usage of dynastic titles became a standard part of the Tajaran name as a way to distinguish which noble a given serf worked under. Since then, names changed as more titles were attached. Jobs, personality traits, status, titles, age, given names, and more have been combined to produce the infamously long and unwieldy names associated with history. Following the declaration of the Steeple Peace, nobles across Adhomai standardized to a new scheme which continues to persist among the Tajaran people.

Every name features three aspects: The individual, the dynasty, and the purpose. Xeno-linguists associate these aspects to the human concepts of the given name, the family name, and the job title respectively. This has resulted in debate over forced associations, as each aspect has a different connotation than what humans may expect, namely the Dynasty. Unlike humans, family names are only found with noble dynasties. This has led to many xeno organizations to assume that Tajara associate with large extended families.

The Individual aspect is the personal part of a Tajara’s name. Parents will provide their child with the Individual aspect in hopes that the phrase or word used will become a part of the Tajara's person. It is not uncommon for Tajara to bear the names of gods or powerful figures, or for others to be named after abstract, religious, or ideological concepts.
The Dynasty aspect is the standardized part of a Tajara’s name. Following the First Revolution, the Hadiist government mandated the Dynasty aspect be named after the birthplace of an individual as a means to remove the influences of the nobility. Those stubborn Tajara born before the end of the First Revolution, or those now living in the New Kingdom, often refused to change their Dynasty aspect, continuing to reflect the noble family they serve or are a part of.

The Purpose aspect previously was the utilitarian part of a Tajara’s name. The aspect reflected a job or trade, an essential piece of information within a community. However, since the end of the first revolution, the need for static names to lessen the bureaucratic burden resulted in many Purpose aspects turning into a form of family name, a newer and still contentious concept for Tajara. With the number of regional dialects and multiple titles for the same trade or job, Purpose aspects are rarely the same across Adhomai. In some cases, two families joining together in marriage would combine their two aspects to form a new one.

While a Tajara’s name contains all three aspects, the usage of all three is not required. Most Tajara will utilize the Individual and Purpose aspect, however traditionalists and nobility expect the use of the Dynasty aspect. All Tajara on the Horizon may use only '''two aspects'''.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%">
The following guide is '''not required'''. Native names can vary based on parentage, region, and numerous other factors. This guide is a structured option, however other options include taking inspiration from the [[Notable Tajara]] page, and heavily modifying Eastern European or Arabic names.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
To create a native Tajaran name, you will need to access the '''unofficial''' translator [http://mk.darkserver.co.uk/lang/index.php here]. Select Siik’maas under the language drop down. By typing in certain words or phrases, then translating, you can utilize Tajaran words to create a name. Typically, you will want to connect multiple Tajaran words with an apostrophe or hyphen, however combining two words without a space is acceptable.

*For the Individual aspect, use a phrase, trait, or concept.
**For example: Love becomes Azutul. S'rendarr's Warmth (Kirmah rajzir. Zir) becomes Kirmah’rajzir.
*For the Dynasty aspect, you may use any text you prefer. Regions and cities with royalty or dynasty attached usually garners better results. Hadiists typically utilize the name of the city or region they were born.
**For example: Kaltir Royalty (Jurlket mir mrra) becomes Jurlket’mir. Nal’tor (Jri chur) becomes Jri’chur
*For the Purpose aspect, use the title of the job or craft of the Tajara. Use multiple versions of a given job or trade for better results.
**For example: Police Officer (Kaii'r manq rir) becomes Kaii’rirmanq. Prince becomes Vahkal.
*The final name becomes: Azutul Jurlket’mir Kaii’rirmanq.
**From this, you can tell the individual is Azutul or named love, whose liege is the Jurlket’mir or Kaltir Royalty, and performs work as a Kaii’rirmanq or officer.

The translator output rarely gives a word or name ready for use. Modification will be required as seen in the examples provided. This also means that names cannot be decoded.

==== Xeno-Influenced Names ====

Given native tajaran names are difficult for humans to pronounce, the PRA once encouraged the use of humanized names. This resulted in many Tajara taking on names derived from Eastern European or Arabic origin, as xeno-linguists found these the easiest for Tajara to pronounce. Following the transition of power from Al’marii to President Hadii, the PRA has walked back on this stance and since issued a decree to encourage citizens retake their native names as a form of pride in tradition and loyalty to the party. Many Hadiists have heeded this decree and returned to their native names, however a sizable population continues to use their adopted names. Given Tajara may have multiple names, the Adhomian governments are more dedicated in the tracking of names.

===Language===
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 Tajaran languages such as Siik’Maas or Siik’tajr is not forbidden by SCC 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 the 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. 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.

Tajaran culture necessitates a separation of the personal self and the external self. This cultural force can be traced back to the early worship of the Twin Suns, which throughout its history has emphasized a separation of personal and public matters. This separation was later reinforced by the nobility, eventually becoming an embedded part of all Tajaran languages. The result is a grammatical structure that separates the private and public self. In Tau Ceti Basic, this has been translated into the use of first, second, and third person pronouns as the closest fit.

The public self, third-person pronouns (he/him, she/her), is the formal state. It shows respect and a distancing of one’s personal matters from others. Traditionalist Tajara would expect the use of the Dynasty aspect and appropriate titles when speaking in the public self. However, those from progressive regions rarely pay attention to the use of aspects as the weight of dynasties and the nobility is not present. Strangers meeting, a subordinate addressing a superior, and other cases where formality and respect is expected uses the public self.
<blockquote>
"'''His''' greetings to the '''madam'''."

In this line, Person A speaks to Person B's public self through his own. As Person A does not know Person B’s name or title, madam is used to maintain respect.
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
“Hello '''Officer Smith'''. She is '''chef Al-Kandari'''.”

Person A addresses Person B, a human, through their title and last name. Person A maintains the public self through the use of her own title and Dynasty aspect.
</blockquote>

The use of second-person pronouns (you/your) can depend on where someone is from. Non-traditionalist regions, such as the Hadiist lands, don’t consider second-person pronouns formal or informal. Traditional cultures, such as the New Kingdom, find second-person pronouns informal. In this latter case, it is reserved for use by a superior addressing a subordinate or similar cases.
<blockquote>
“'''You''' need to handle that report by tomorrow. '''She''' will ensure it shows on '''your''' performance review otherwise.”

Person A addresses Person B through the personal self (you/your). It shows that Person A is either disrespectful, a superior, or from regions where the use of ‘you’ is not informal.
</blockquote>
The personal self, first-person pronouns (I/me/mine), is the informal state. It is addressing matters on a personal level where formality is not required, or genuinity is desired. The Individual aspect can be used by itself in this state. Close friends, personal moments, and similar matters would use the personal self.
<blockquote>
“'''I''' am unsure what '''you''' mean by this. '''Your''' proposal vexes '''me'''.”

Person A uses the personal self and addresses Person B in the personal self. This establishes a close and informal conversation or is used to disrespect Person B by addressing them directly.
</blockquote>
Transitioning from public to personal selfs is easy. The initiator who desires to make the conversation informal starts by referring to themself in the personal self. If the other participants agree to make a conversation informal, then they respond in kind using the personal self. Otherwise, they may continue to use the public self and maintain the conversation’s formality.
<blockquote>
"No, '''I''' simply wanted to be introduced to '''her'''. '''My''' name is '''Abdal Akhtarov'''."

Person A steps into the personal self but is still speaking to Person B through her public self. This is an invitation to personal conversation, done respectfully by not involving Person B's personal self directly.
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
"Hello, '''Mr. Akhtarov'''. '''I''' am '''Aisha'''. Does '''he''' wish to speak elsewhere?"

Person B is still speaking to Person A's public self, however refers to herself in the personal self, accepting the invitation to an informal conversation. In the following conversation, it would be acceptable for both to use personal self.
</blockquote>
The use of the public and personal self by non-Tajara can be jarring for those not acclimated to human environments. Tajara not used to human space can find it disrespectful how the use of the personal self is standard. Those acclimated to non-Tajaran patterns of speech rarely take issue with the lack of distinction between public and personal self. Referring to a non-Tajara through informal pronouns is broadly acceptable, however the use of first-person pronouns, the personal self, as a default often takes years in human space and a concerted effort for a Tajara to transition to.

==== Slang/Terminology ====
Tajara, like every species, has a wide variety of slang terms in both Tajaran languages and Tau Ceti Basic. While no list can be truly comprehensive, as slang is ever changing, certain phrases and terms have become widespread enough to be known by nearly all Tajara.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Siik'maas uses suffixes to define many aspects of the language, or to create the words that make. Slang is no different and can be modified in much the same way as any other Siik'maas word.

Adjective: -iye (I.E. T'ishkiye - Robotic)

Plural: -ra (I.E. Tivrra/Tivra - Humans)

Diminutive: -nry/-ni (I.E. Nav'henry/Nav'heni - Tiny Unathi)

Augmentive: -imy (I.E. Rafamaimy - Big Rafama)

{| class="wikitable" style="margin:auto"
|-
! Phrase !! Meaning !! Origin
|-
| T'zivr/Tivr || Xeno, Human || Beginning as a term for solely humans, T'zivr, or "furless", grew to incorporate all aliens as a whole. The term is not wholly considered derogatory, however is seen as less acceptable than xeno or alien.
|-
| Dornshky || Furless || A strong insult originating from the physical condition itself. While it is a common insult among Tajara, it includes a more derogatory way to refer to aliens.
|-
| T'ishk || IPCs, Robots, Hadiists || Originating from the Siik term for soulless, T'ishk became a widespread insult for Hadiists and robots alike among Little Adhomai, quickly spreading to other Tajaran communities and, ultimately, back to Adhomai.
|-
| M'ishk || IPCs || The non-derogatory version of T'ishk, M'ishk more specifically refers to IPCs, directly translating as "artificial soul". It started as a shorthand of Manq'ishk, however quickly gained traction within the People's Republic, and later other Tajaran communities.
|-
| Sha'tajii/Shatii || Dionae || Directly translating to "wood peoples", the term began from Little Adhomai where contact between Tajara and Dionae took place frequently enough to generate a slang term.
|-
| Kirr || Vaurca || Directly translating to "insect", the slur originated from Little Adhomian gangs warring with Vaurca living in neighboring districts. The term spread rapidly following the murders of multiple Tajara ordered by Vaurca Queen Ta'Akaix'Zoleth'akeh Zo'ra.
|-
| Nav'hen || Unathi || A contraction of the phrase "dahal Nav henrhesi", translating to "dies in the cold". The phrase began as a tongue-in-cheek way to refer to Unathi mercenaries within the S'rand'marr Coalition by ALA soldiers, before spreading to Little Adhomai where it was shortened to Nav'hen.
|-
| Ratajani || Skrell || Originating from the folk tales of small, ugly, stump-tailed, neon colored creatures. Characterized as greedy and the cause of unlucky events in life, Ratajani was quickly applied to Skrell upon first contact. This use of the term as a slur quickly overtook the earlier and less derogatory use as comparison to misbehaving children.
|-
| K'strelkii || Mercenary, Corporate Drone || Translating as "money soldier", the term grew out of the spite among Tajara towards corporate busy-bodies and mercenary groups.
|-
| Rafama || Stubborn, Hard-headed, Territorial || Originating from the behavior of Rafamas on Adhomai, the term is a long historic name for any person acting particularly stubborn or stand-offish.
|-
| Raskaren || Noble, Enforcer || Based upon the mythological Raskaren, a creature of Raskara that drinks blood and is incapable of surviving sunlight. The term grew to become a slur against nobles and M'sai enforcers. While predominantly used within the [[Free Tajaran Council]], the term has been slowly spreading to Little Adhomai and Adhomai proper. It is banned within the New Kingdom.
|-
| T'Kalta || Royalist, Poor || Forming from a joke regarding the relatively high rates of poverty within the New Kingdom, T'Kalta, translating to "without money", grew in popularity across the People's Republic and Democratic People's Republic.
|-
| Njaqrii || Noble Dynasty || Translating into "noble family collective", the Njaqrii is what amounts to a dynasty. One must be a Njarir to be within a Njaqrii. These dynasties can be expansive, covering sometimes hundreds of Tajara. The distinction between dynasties is primarily determined by recognition from other Njaqrii. Given progress nations on Adhomai abhor the nobility, Njaqarii remains a matter only relevant to the [[New Kingdom of Adhomai]] and history.
|-
| Njarii || Noble House || Where Njaqrii is the noble family, Njarii is the noble "house". Njarii act, in essence, like a business centered around the matters of the Njaqrii, or sections within the Njaqrii. The Njarii includes far more individuals, spanning from servants and workers to the nobility themselves. Establishing a Njarii is a legal matter within the [[New Kingdom of Adhomai]], however in the [[People's Republic of Adhomai]] and [[Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai]], Njarii remain unrecognized or illegal.
|-
| T'Ruv || Shameless, Al'mariist || A rare Hadiist term that was applied to Al'mariists for the perceived shamelessness in illegal and underhanded tactics during the Second Revolution. The term has since grown and spread across Tajaran communities.
|-
| T'Zhunii || Hick, Redneck || Translating to "lacking desire people", the term spread as a catch-all for rural peasantry. The exact origins are believed to be a jab at the lack of time or willpower for rural peasantry to hold greater ambitions.
|-
| Vak'a || Idiot, Airhead, Bro || Originating from Little Adhomai, Vak'a spread rapidly as a general way to refer to a friend, equivalent to saying dude or bro.
|-
| Vakalnar || Grifter || Meaning "air salesman", equivalent to calling someone a snake oil salesman.

| Tyrhal || Hell || Tajaran religions have no singular lands that are considered the equivalent to hell among Human religions. However, ancient tales mentioned Tyrhal, or 'land of demons'. Tyrhal was saved from obscurity when Little Adhomian residents wanted a Tajaran version of the human term hell. The term spread as a compromise for those Tajara who wanted to adopt Human mannerisms while maintaining Tajaran culture.
|-
| Azukavo/Azuvo || Love you || Not inherently slang, the use of Azuvo has become desensitized in more progressive communities of Tajara. Rather than being an intimate expression not fit for use in public, it has seen less stigma in use, albeit still associated with loved ones and close friends.
|-
| Ketvo (Ane)! || Onwards, Let's Go, To Victory || Translated literally as "March to victory!", Ketvo Ane was established as a phrase within People's Republic military leadership. Being the standard phrase to initiate movement or actions, it became widespread during the Second Revolution, even among the other nations as turncoats brought the phrase along with them. Post-war, the phrase spread rapidly.
|-
| Blinder || Overwhelming, Too Much || Descended from the concept of S’rendarr’s light being the embodiment of energy and life. Having too much of S’rendarr’s light may blind someone, therefore for something to be a Blinder it exudes too much energy, S’rendarr’s light.
|-
| Half-Knuckle || Poor, Fraternizer (Royalist) || Originating from a noble snide. Knuckles are the smallest form of currency on Adhomai, therefore to call someone a half-knuckle implies they are so poor as to only have a half-knuckle. Within Royalist society, the term additionally refers to nobles who are seen as fraternizing too much with commoners.
|-
| Top Snow || Young, Inexperienced, New || A term referring to the top layer of snow, often fresh light snow. Someone who is Top Snow is fresh, equivalent to the human term "green horn".
|-
| Washoff || Old, Undesirable, Lackluster || Referring to the runoff of melted summer snow, called washoff on Adhomai, the term grew to be used for undesirable items or people, likened at times to the phrase ‘getting long in the tooth’.
|-
| Bronzer || Jackboot, Enforcer, Cop || Descended from the bronze emblems used to denote an on-duty enforcer. Used in a derogatory manner against cops, enforcers, and authority figures alike.
|-
| Bookie || Bookworm, Royalist, Dork || Stemming from the cultural view of books as symbols of noble oppression, bookie is a term used to insult someone within progressive cultures as a royalist, or someone who tolerates or encourages noble oppression. Can also be an insult equivalent of calling someone a dork, nerd, etc.
|-
| Torcher || Friendly, Happy, Positive || Originating from the symbol of Azubarre’s torch, calling someone a torcher implies they embody Azubarre’s torch, and therefore his qualities of positivity, friendliness, and true love. Over time, the connotations associated with Azubarre, namely the more romantic elements, became less emphasized, resulting in the slang becoming a catch all for friendliness and positivity.

===Emotional Displays===
Because of their anatomy, Tajara express emotions in different ways than Humans. Baring one’s teeth is a strong expression of challenge or mockery. As such, Tajara rarely smile by showing the teeth, instead wrinkling the nose by gently lifting the sides of the muzzle. The folding of ears is a clear sign of fear or worry, while perking the ears forward shows attention or interest. Ears will involuntarily flick when exposed to loud sounds.

The semi-prehensile tail of Tajara allows for a great amount of expression. Enough emphasis has been placed on the tail as a form of expression and language that Tajara afflicted with Hakh’jar are commonly misread or have to vocalize their current emotion. Tajaran tails naturally sway, however a rapid sway or wag is a childish sign of satisfaction. Curving the tail downward and blistering is a clear sign of hostility, whereas tucking the tail down by the feet is a stress response. The flicking of the tail end is a sign of anger or anxiety.

Displays of affection among Tajara are rarely seen in public, and looked down on by traditionally minded Tajara. The common forms of affection are the bumping as muzzles or holding of the wrist. While less common, twining the tail around an ankle or wrist is seen as equivalent to holding the wrist. Intertwining tails, however, is seen as a childish expression of affection. Hugging is not seen romantically. It is seen as a transfer of body heat and thus a common act between friends, comrades, and family alike. Those acclimated to human expression may view hugging as having a romantic component in certain contexts, however this is lost on those with a traditional mindset.

Status was a major aspect of emotional expression during the times of the nobility. When interacting with another of a higher social status, it was required for the lesser of the two to lower their head and pull the ears back. Having direct eye-contact or tilting the head up was seen as a show of defiance. These expectations have since been challenged and are often disregarded if not outright rejected since the fall of the old nobility, however those traditional-minded Tajara and Royalists within the New Kingdom continue to abide by the rules of status.

===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 protect 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.

[[File:Tajara dance .png|240px|thumb|right|Two tajara wearing traditional dresses during a musical performance.]]
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.

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.

====Fur Dying====
One of the flashier aspects of fashion and looks is fur dye. History saw extensive use of early fur dyes as methods to mark oneself as part of an in-group. Certain nobles would demand their enforcers and soldiers mark the noble’s crest on their neck, back, or arms. These symbols came to be associated with royalist loyalty well into the early history of the People’s Republic. Fur dye was banned during Al’mari’s reign, deemed as royalist sentiment. These restrictions came to an end during the beginning of the Second Revolution when Malik Hadii revoked the ban and instituted it across the People’s Republic’s agencies.

In the present day, fur dye is commonly used to signify what it once did: presence in an in-group. Whether it be a mark of one’s nation, military unit, or other such matters. Fur dye as an expression of the self is a relatively new concept to mainstream society. Regardless of intent, markings from fur dye are typically small due to the cost of dyes which prohibit large or extravagant designs. Fur dyes remain almost exclusively in earthen tones and dark colors. The most popular color, due to its cheap price and wide availability, is Earthen-Root Blue (Hex: #6082B6). Few bright colors exist and are viewed as particularly disruptive and taboo.

Many complications exist with fur dyes. Care and preparation must be taken to properly dye Tajaran fur, or else the fur becomes damaged and sheds. The restrictive range of colors is due, in part, to the lack of a synthetic dye that caters to Tajaran fur. This leaves Tajara with Adhomian sourced dyes that rely upon Adhomian flora of which few vibrant colors are available compared to earthen tones. NanoTrasen remains the largest producer of Tajaran dyes, fur, and mane soaps.

=== Cuisine ===
[[File:Taj food.png|240px|thumb|right|A common Tajaran 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 were 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 long-lasting nature. 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 thrown 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 Adhomian 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 - has 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 which even learned peasants who had to pay out of pocket to access. This led to the 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.

Traveling circuses have been present in the Tajaran culture since ancient times. Joining a troupe was one of the few available ways for a Tajara to escape the rigid roles of the caste system. Performances usually include trained animals, acrobatics, storytelling, puppetry, strength displays, magic performance, creep shows, and stores selling all kinds of food and curiosities. Since circus schools only started to appear after the First Revolution, artists frequently transmitted their techniques to their pupils. Due to the previous conflicts and the ongoing cold war, wandering troupes face large barriers than ever before. Some of the biggest circuses have left for the stars in search of a more welcoming audience than Adhomai.

===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 with 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 on 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.

Tabletop RPGs and wargames are popular for Tajara in urban centers. The Tajaran tradition of storytelling lent itself to these games being easily understood and quickly enjoyed by players who saw them as an evolution of the tales that priests shared in their communities. The tabletop scene sprouted a few years following the First Revolution’s end with Siik’maas translated versions of human and skrell tabletops. These were adapted later into localized versions that then became entirely Tajaran systems. The most well-known of these games is “Global Conquest”, originally made by the PRA and then adapted by DPRA and NKA companies, this board game replicates the conquest of Adhomai by different armies. Another is “Explorators of the Unknown”, a modular game where players play as characters exploring or investigating a world of their design.

The notion of video games is unknown to the natives of 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 her village 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 players in the PRA and a larger following in the NKA. 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. Mahmrro came to be associated with the lower classes towards the end of the Steeple Peace. This attitude is visible in the NKA where nobility largely avoid playing the game. Leagues exist in every country for the game with these Mahmrro Clubs gaining much fame.

*'''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.

*'''Baghrar:''' an ancient martial art from Adhomai primarily used for sport and contests of strength. The fighting style consists of strikes against the opponent from the waist up. The form of the attacks is primarily swiping motions that take advantage of a Tajara's claws to rake an opponent's torso or head. Other moves include punching for friendlier matches or stabbing forward with the claws in typical confrontations. Modern Baghrariri, or people who practice the Baghrar style for sport, usually fight with implements that cover and support their nails to avoid serious bodily damage. Modern Baghrar fights are decided upon with a point-scoring system over three 10-minute rounds, but historical victories were secured by knocking opponents onto the ground. Baghrar has been adapted into several different styles used by Adhomaian police and army units.

====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 the 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 horizontally 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 ===
''For more information, see [[Tajaran Military Structures]]''

Warfare and militaries on Adhomai are catered to the environment demands of the snowy planet. Logistics are a prized necessity, with entire wars being won through denying the opposing side consistent access to heat and food. Since the First Revolution, guerilla warfare and mobility doctrines have defined Tajaran warfighting. With the end of the Second Revolution, previous doctrines were shattered. New realities have forced each nation's military into its own place, developing separately not for the war fought previously, but the war it anticipates. As a result, Adhomian military technologies have received some of the largest research and development. It remains to be seen how these advances will play out, or how each nation has prepared itself under the new geopolitical reality.

The military hardware of Adhomai is a blend of proven, if dated, technologies and advanced experimental concepts. The bulk of Tajaran soldiers across the 3 nations are armed with new semi-automatic rifles, or automatic rifles in the case of the People's Republic's Tsarrayut’yan rifle. These weapons, however, are based on reliable systems tested in the chaos of the Second Revolution. Weathered against the cold, and prepared for years of abuse, Adhomian rifles are among the sturdiest and most reliable in mass-production. Energy-based rifles are uncommon. Concerns of lasers reflecting off the snow, revealing one's positions, and the scarcity of reliable energy sources have pushed the new technology to the side. The People's Republic's Icelance rifle has beat the odds even if it is reserved for the elites of the Republican Guard. Partisans see use of the enduring Harrzhak bolt-action rifle. Special forces find their own in lever-action rifles, Hotaki sniper rifles, or other specialized weapons. Close-in engagements still make frequent use of bayonets and swords. Shotguns and submachine guns are, ironically, reserved for shock troops. Regardless of situation, Adhomai has a rifle that suits one's needs. They are cheap and reliable, albeit at times dated but no less effective.

Tajaran artillery is where the cunning of Tajaran engineering shines. 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. Even as venerable howitzers and emplacements see use decades, sometimes nearly a century, of use, Tajara continue to expand their artillery repertoire. Massive self-propelled guns within the ALA ride alongside their fearsome tanks while the People's Republic develops exosuits carrying large artillery cannons. The New Kingdom has found use in large railway cannons, among the largest to be produced on Adhomai, alongside the mass of naval vessels capable of fire support.

==== Notable Weapons ====
'''Harrzhak Bolt-Action Rifle:''' A venerable design hailing from the mid-Steeple Peace era. It is a cheap bolt-action rifle designed the minimize exposure of the action to the outside elements. Despite the simplicity of the design, it is capable of great accuracy.

'''Adhokorr Sword:''' A sword pattern originating from, and associated heavily with, Amohda. It is a straight single-edged blade that extends roughly 1.5 meters in length. The grip is typically made from local wood and bound in fabric or leather. It is intended for use with two-hands but is capable of single-handed use.

'''Sahikorr Blade:''' A curved sword designed during the Warring Kings era. It features a long and thin blade of varying lengths. It is without a guard, with most modern variants making use of a metal-reinforced grip. All manner of Sahikorr blades exist, from ceremonial officer swords to cheap and mass-produced partisan blades.

=== 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 musicals. Some artistic Hharar who lived before the war give 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 that the sun god S'rendarr celebrates. Tajara under the worship of Ma'ta'ke have a less celebratory and less ritualistic ceremony, instead, they have 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.

Throughout history, the concept of gender in Tajara society varied over time. Archaeological evidence suggests that before the Incarnate Dominion, multiple identities—often related to religious practices—existed. Like everything else, the nobility's breeding project also molded the perception of gender in Adhomai. Njarir’Akhran, with their great emphasis on their bloodline, were the ones with the strictest and defined gender roles. While the Zhan-Khazan rarely cared about these definitions, seeing little distinction between them. After the revolution, gender in the Tajara society changed as well, but it did not free itself fully from the shackles of the pre-contact oppression.

In history, transgender Tajara were more common among Njarir and Hharar due to their more defined gender roles. Before the revolution, these individuals were often in a nebulous state, as they were still obligated to participate in the eugenics program. While some could still find suitable partners, others had to find other outlets, such as joining religious societies or becoming outcasts. Ma'ta'ke priesthood is open to transgender Tajara who identify as their patron god's gender. The Church of S'rand'marr rejects these notions and maintains a strong distinction within its organization based on the gender assigned at birth of its members.

Third gender and nonbinary identities have historically been associated with religious and mystical perspectives. Those who could combine and balance both aspects were typically priests or mystics, known to have achieved some form of enlightenment. Only after the revolution are these identities now explored without the trappings of the occult. The older generations are usually confused by younger individuals who identify as such, with more religious Tajara being outraged at them for appropriating something that was once sacred.

Sexual orientation was a poorly defined concept for the Tajara until the contact. With the emphasis on the caste system, most individuals were expected to have a partner of the same ethnicity with whom they could reproduce, despite their preferences. The nobility often persecuted any relationship or behavior that threatened the caste project. The nobility strictly forbade any kind of relationship with a Tajara of a different ethnicity.

After the civil war, theories and studies about gender and orientation have begun to emerge among revolutionary thinkers. The most radical theorists argued that such concepts were constructions of the old nobility to further their control, calling for forgetting such ideas in favor of new visions. Currently, the Tajara society still upholds gender roles similar to those before the contact, mainly based on one's heritage. The concept of a defined and clear sexual orientation is still fairly new. Only now free of the oppressive Njarir system, the Tajara are free to think about these matters as they develop further socially, even if frequently tainted by the lingering old prejudices. The other species' vision of these matters is seen as alien; even a traditional Tajara would not care to pass judgment on anything that does not involve their people.

Because of the Tajara's recent history as a repressive, conservative species, they still carry many prejudices from the period before the revolution. Overt displays of affection, xenophilia, and interracial relationships among Tajara are looked down on and treated as deviancy. The pre-contact nobility purposefully encouraged these sentiments to further preserve the caste system.

===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.

===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.

Led by [[Notable Tajara#President Njadrasanukii Hadii|President Njadrasanukii Hadii]], the Peoples 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.

= History =

The People's Republic of Adhomai was established in 2431 as the sole ruling government in Adhomai following its victory in the First Revolution. With the popular leader Al'mari Hadii as their first president, they were able to enact deep reforms, such as the distribution of land, the establishment of state schools, and healthcare. Despite the recent changes, the planet of Adhomai was still bound to humanity and NanoTrasen, a relation that brought several benefits, but caused resentment among most supporters of the Hadiist ideology, as they believed that the Tajaran species could only be truly free if they were allowed to make their own path without the interference of the alien.

In 2449, while the royalist rebellion happened in the shadows, Al’mari decided to change his policy in regard to NanoTrasen. New economic policies unfavorable to NanoTrasen were enacted, alongside the denunciations aimed towards humanity’s imperialism and the necessity of a free Adhomai. This new position caused discontentment among many that were gaining profit with the presence of the Megacorporation on the planet.

President Al'mari was assassinated in 2451, one year after the royalist rebellion in Northern Harr'masir exploded. Al'mari's brother, Njadrasanukii Hadii, took over the office of the presidency while rolling back the economic reforms implemented two years prior. The head of the armed forces, Nated'Hakhan, attempted a failed coup with the support of many other generals, triggering the creation of the Adhomai Liberation Army.

The following ten years were marked by the Second Revolution; the conflict between the People’s Republic of Adhomai, the Adhomai Liberation Army, and the New Kingdom of Adhomai. During this period, several authoritarian measures were enacted by the government, such as the establishment of working camps for subversive elements and increased persecution of the Ruvska’ard or those from rebellious regions. Despite the presence of a strong economy and modern army, the PRA found themselves in a disadvantageous position in the war during 2461, losing important territories and battles. Without the support of the Sol Alliance, lost due to the recent friction caused by their poor relations, many feared that the People’s Republic may not survive in the upcoming years. Saved due to a coalition of allied alien states and mercenaries, the People's Republic was able to survive the conflict and secure peace through an armistice. Despite losing supremacy over Adhomai, they still control wealthy and populated territories and possess a better standing with the overall galactic community.

Post-war reality has seemed a bittersweet view. The PRA’s industrial might and strong hand have guided it to a prosperous growth in recent times. It has grown to be the shining jewel of Adhomai. However, times seem uncertain. The shortage of phoron has begun to seep into the nation, threatening the already fragile house of cards. As President Njadrasanukii Hadii grows old, many in the upper echelons fear the coming storm may only be worsened by a stagnating economy. With the Spur in a place of decline, there is little perceived help from beyond. The future, to those who dare pay attention to the warning signs behind the propaganda, is tumultuous.

= Culture and Society =

The Republican government seeks to create a single monolithic culture for the Tajara under the ideological vision of Hadiism. The suppression of the ethnic caste system installed by the previous noble rule is one of the goals of the People’s Republic that has been reached with little success, as such divisions are still deeply entrenched in the Tajaran people. The republican culture places a large emphasis on the importance of the collective over the individual interest, with each Tajara being considered as a piece in the machinery of the Tajaran society. PRA citizens are educated on the importance of preserving their union and how factionalism is dangerous to their own species.

Deviation from the established cultural and societal expectations can result in ostracization by the population and government. Regional identities and other alternative trends are suppressed and deemed as subversive. Due to such, M'sai, Zhan, and Ruvska'ard communities are often persecuted by the authorities and have an overall negative image before the eyes of the Republican masses. Loyalty to the Hadii party is a common trait among the citizens of the Republic, as much of the recent success and conquests of the Tajara species can be attributed to the popular leader Al'mari Hadii and his ideals. The fear of the secret service is also a present factor among the urban population of the PRA cities, especially as unrest from the economic downturn spreads across less fortunate cities.

Rural life is remarkably different from that of their urban counterparts. Communal farms necessitate a simple and disciplined lifestyle. Farmers wake early to fill their quotas. Most farms utilize basic mechanization permitting shorter work hours. While previous advanced farms using human technology had the shortest work hours, with some using semi-automated equipment, the shortage of phoron has led to many augmenting the struggling technology with hard labor.

Those in the resource extraction industry, such as mining or logging, have stable hours comparable to factory workers. Corporate operations have above average wages and other wide-reaching benefits afforded by NanoTrasen. Even as the phoron shortage grips the PRA, corporate mines hold a high priority in the phoron rationing program. As such, they are highly sought after positions by those fleeing the unemployment of the cities. State-run operations are very stable, promising a consistent wage, hours, food, and on-site housing albeit at below average pay, and little upward mobility.

Ruralities across the PRA have been experiencing an unexpected rise in immigration from urban centers. Due in large part to high unemployment, overstrained welfare, and overbearing secret police, many unemployed Tajara have chosen to find new opportunities among the wide open plains of the Hadiist countryside. This has led to tension between the urbanites and ruralites. The food shortages already present in rural regions continue to be worsened by the growing population, and rural centers struggle to account for the increased demand in housing. Those from the ruralities are known to be more conservative, however devoted Hadiists thanks to the benefits afforded by the Republic.

Urban life in the PRA varies based on the Tajara’s occupation, education, and standing with the Party. Most cities are built on a strong blue-collar population working the numerous state and corporate run factories. State-run factories boast stable but strict work hours. Eight or nine hour work schedules are observed, with 1 day of the week free. These factories provide free meals and average but stable salaries. Corporate-run factories boast a variety of work hours, although the average are 8 hour work schedules with two days free. Despite having a higher than average salary, it is highly dependent on the factory being in operation, and does not afford the free meals found in State-run factories. As phoron rationing leads to less operational hours for corporate-factories, this has led to unsteady paychecks. Party members, researchers, military officers, and other educated professionals usually have access to more services and luxuries, including increasingly unaffordable human-produced goods. Political dynasties, such as the Hadii, occupy the echelons of Republican urban society, controlling the industry and government. Criminal organizations are a growing presence in the cities, controlling legal and illegal businesses. Many less fortunate Tajara become mules and frontmen for the black market phoron trade, or the growing drug market.

A notable unemployed population is growing in many of the major cities. With corporate-run factories slowing operations, cutting staff, or outright shutting down, numerous factory workers have become dropped in a slim job market. Being reliant on an overstrained welfare program, life is spent between servings at the soup kitchen and spartan conditions in brutalist communal apartments. Few cities have begun to slow the momentum of the rising unemployment through rapid expansion of state-run factories, while the remaining suffer from growing unrest, lethargic government services, and increasing emigration from urban to rural centers.

The Republic affords its citizens a robust education system. Primary through secondary education are compulsory across the nation. All children are given a political education on the principles of and loyalty to Hadiism alongside typical courses. While traditionally all kids would go through secondary school, then enter post-secondary education or enter the workforce, [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/7/#findComment-182543 recent initiatives] by the Party have segmented secondary education into three categories: trades, arts, and higher education. Children are assigned the trades, the arts, or preparatory schooling based on a series of tests. Children are able to transfer to different schools if their performance is not sufficient in their assigned school.

Republican loyalists commonly greet each other by saying: "Hadii's grace, comrade".

Extended families are common in rural communities, while being less prevalent in urban centers. Couples leave their parents' homes after marriage, usually moving to a state-issued apartment. Due to the population loss caused by the conflict, there are incentives, such as tax cuts, welfare benefits, and better homes, for couples to have children. Despite the traditional Tajara family still being the basic unit of the PRA society, the government is trying to change it. Daycare centers aimed to fully raise children in the Hadiist principles have begun to be tested; in these facilities, the contact with the biological parents is minimal in favor of treating the individual as part of a bigger system. Some visionary hadiists have considered replacing biological reproduction with more technologically advanced alternatives, such as cloning or extending one's life with augmentation.

Due to the Hadiist revolutionary thought and the rejection of the older order, there is a policy of total gender equality. Female and male Tajara have the same rights, with the state making no distinction in any of its fields, including the military. The conscription, such as the one called in 2458, calls all able citizens regardless of gender. This practice allows the PRA to bolster its forces without affecting the workforce during wartime. Marriages are often seen as a formality to create a family, with the religious part being separated from the civil one. Same-sex marriage is not recognized by the Hadiist state, but some Young Hadiists have been campaigning for such. Transgender Tajara may have an easier time in the Hadiist society due to its vision of gender, but the medical technology and support are still in their early stages.

Due to the lingering prejudice, the overall Hadiist society considers relationships between different ethnicities to be negative. While the government places no official sanction on mixed couples, older officials will often discriminate. Visionary and Young Hadiists believe that the government should promote mixed relationships to further dismantle the Njarir caste system.
== Religion ==

The People’s Republic of Adhomai possesses no official religion, as it is a secular state by its constitution. Most of the population identify themselves as followers of the S'rand'marr Worship or the Ma’ta’ke pantheon. Irreligious and atheists tendencies are growing each day, as many Hadiists consider the traditional religions as fictitious chains created by the old Njarir masters to control their serfs.

Despite being in the territory of the PRA, the holy city of Sana Sahira enjoys a large degree of freedom from the centralized authority of the state. Foreign missionaries are permitted in the Republican territory, but their activity and presence are closely monitored by the authorities.

== Language ==

Siik’maas is recognized as the official language of the People’s Republic of Adhomai, used in all official documents and taught in schools. The use and learning of other Tajaran languages are discouraged by the education system that works to establish a single universal tongue for all of its population. Siik'tajr is used exclusively by the military and is not allowed to be taught to non-active military personnel. Speaking and teaching Delvahhi, Ya'ssa, or Nal'rasan as a People's Republic citizen is currently a crime. For children, it is child abuse as the state argues that these languages perpetuate negative cultural values and lead to worse lives for children. For adults, speaking these languages is considered harassment and teaching is incitement to crime. Heavy fines are used to enforce this and on repeat offences criminals may face prison time. Human languages do not face similar punishments as they are deemed important to Tajaran economic success abroad.
== Cuisine ==

After the great war, the great majority of the land was confiscated from the nearly extinct Adhomian nobility and distributed among the peasant population. Complex agricultural projects and farms run directly by the State were attempted. Early results were less than favorable and caused dissatisfaction in the rural population who chafed under overbearing bureaucrats who skimmed their yields to sell on the black market. Al'mari Hadii attempted to break this up shortly before his assassination. Njadrasanukii Hadii took his brother's project on and allowed more freedom to the peasants while adopting modern human farming equipment offered by NanoTrasen. Mechanized agriculture is a growing phenomenon in the republic’s territory, albeit a double edged sword.

Many of the mechanized farms reliant on NanoTrasen technology have begun to feel the heavy weight of phoron dependency. The phoron rationing system within the Hadiist Republic has led to increasingly bitter rivalries between different agricultural communities, and a decline in production of staple crops. While many lesser farms or those that were forced to wait for less efficient Hadiist alternatives have continued with less concern, their potential yields have led to a lower priority within the government, a stance still maintained despite the clear warning signs against the phoron-dependent farms.

Due to a lethargic bureaucratic system, and mismanagement of resources, the food shortage is rarely felt in the city where many supply lines lead. Rural regions, however, commonly experience food shortages. In attempts to smooth over the unsteady presence of crops, many families plant small gardens at home. Other individuals wanting more variety, and willing to work with unscrupulous businesses, can find all manner of food smuggled back from the cities to the ruralities on the black market.

While the People’s republic territory includes several different regional cultures, it is possible to find common culinary traditions among its population. Bread, baked with flour produced from a variation of the Blizzard Ears, is considered an essential part of a worker’s breakfast. Salt-cured Fatshouters’ meat also has been introduced widely, facilitated by the recent advances in livestock husbandry techniques. Canned food and alien goods are an uncommon sight in republican cities, imported by NanoTrasen’s subsidiary Getmore. The technological advances provided by the revolution allowed the population to have contact with more exotic dishes, besides granting more freedom of creation to Tajaran chefs, now that electricity and refrigeration are not only restricted to the nobility.

=== Notable Dishes ===

*'''Zkah'nkowa:''' a canned variety of the Fatshouter Bloodpudding, known for its low-fat content and lighter color. It was created shortly after the First Revolution to ease the food shortage after the conflict. Its low cost and nutritious value allowed it to become a staple of the Hadiist diet.

*'''Rikazu:''' small pies, often hand-sized, usually made by folding dough, overstuffing of fruit and cream cheese; commonly served hot. The simple preparation makes it a fast favorite, and the versatility of the ingredients has gained favor with Tajara of all creeds. Different variations of Rikazu pop up all over Adhomai, some filled with meats, or vegetables, or even imported ingredients, like chocolate filling.

*'''Sarmikhir:''' a fat sour-tasting cream made from Fatshouters' milk. Sarmikhir is mainly used as a spread; Adhomian bread is habitually consumed with it during the Hadiist breakfast. The cream is also used as a condiment and blended with salads and soups. Sarmikhir is sold at room temperature in cans or wrapped in foil.

=== Notable Beverages ===

*'''Victory Gin:''' considered the official drink of the People's Republic of Adhomai, Victory Gin was created to celebrate the end of the revolution. It is commonly found in NanoTrasen’s stations, due to a contract that allows the government to supply the corporation, and in the Tajaran communities of Tau Ceti. The destruction of Victory Gin's bottles and reserves was widespread when Republican positions and cities were taken by the opposition as the drink is deemed by many as a symbol of the Hadiist regime.

*'''Hro'zamal Soda:''' a soft drink made from the seed's powder of the Hro'zamal Ras'Nifs, a plant native to [[Hro'zamal]]. While initially consumed as an herbal tea by the colonists, it was introduced to Adhomai by the Army Expeditionary Force and transformed into a carbonated drink. The beverage is popular with factory workers and university students because of its stimulant effect. Much of Hro'zamal's agriculture was switched to planting the crops needed to supply soda production.

*'''Khlibnyz:''' a fermented beverage produced from Adhomian bread. Herbs, fruits, and tree sap can be added for flavoring. It is considered a non-alcoholic drink by Adhomian standards because of its very low alcohol content. Khlibnyz was mainly consumed by peasants during pre-contact times and is still very popular with the Hadiist rural population. Communal farms brew their own Khlibnyz and sell it to the government for distribution. The drink was involved in a controversy when the People's Republic tried to export it to human colonies as a soft drink, unaware of the alien standards.

=== Military Nutrition ===

The republican army is the best equipped among the warring factions of Adhomai, being supplied by NanoTrasen and other outworld supporters. Canned goods and modern rations are issued to all branches of the Republic’s military. Native field meals are composed of salt-cured Fatshouters’ meat, bread, and Victory Gin. Imported liqui-food rations, once a lucrative business for NanoTrasen, has become disfavorable as the cost of import rises above the cost of home production.

== Fashion ==

Having direct and friendly contact with humanity, The People's Republic of Adhomai has been the most influenced by the spacer fashion. The most known is the "assistant jumpsuits" which directly inspired the design of factory overalls, the plight and low pay of the assistants are close to the hearts of Hadiist Tajara and their Republic. However, outside of work attire, the Republic has attempted to quell humanization, preferring and encouraging simple and natural colors for civilians, hoping to stifle any thoughts that someone's neighbor has it better than them. One interesting rise is in the nylon industry. Nylon being stretchy, accommodating, and see-through yet very warm makes it the perfect wear for any Tajara, mainly soldiers and dockers who spend hours outside in the cold biting environment. However with the vast majority of nylon originating from the corporations, it has become a high-priced commodity.

Tail adornments have recently become very unpopular, being quoted as a "Reminder of the shackles the Njarir had on us", yet still the younger Tajara who do not remember the rebellions have taken a liking to these. Piercings are also popular with youngsters, who have observed this behavior from humans. Curiously it has also become common among soldiers and outlaws who pierce their skin with gold, silver, or coinage. This way one can hide a substantial amount of money under their fur.

Fur dye was once a banned item within the People's Republic. Seen as a symbol of loyalty to the nobility, thanks to its historical use, many who fought for the revolution found a disdain of the practice. It was only until President Malik Hadii unbanned fur dyes that the practice saw a resurgence. While the official record stated that such practices were unbanned for the use by soldiers and true Hadiists to symbolize their patriotism, the truth lies not far away. Convicts, test subjects, and all manner of those under the control of the Republic's Ministries find their backs marked with dye for identification and, importantly, to prevent escapees from hiding. Regardless, modern use of fur dye among the populace is largely for practical or patriotic reasons. Self-expression is a growing trend in the cities, however great scrutiny is placed on what these expressions display by the National Police Department.

=== President Hadii Badges ===

President Hadii badges are metal pins and medals bearing the image of Njadrasanukii Hadii. Created during the dawn of the First Revolution, these objects were crafted and worn by the Hadiist to identify themselves in opposition to Nated. The first ones were made with crude materials. In the early stages of the Hadii cult of personality, badges were only officially issued to celebrate events and special dates. In the later moments of the Second Revolution, they were mass fabricated and used as displays of loyalty to the Party. A thousand variations exist; some models are exclusively sold to tourists visiting the PRA. Some individuals are known to collect them.

== Music ==

The music in the People’s Republic of Adhomai typically deals with patriotic themes; focusing on the political struggles of the Tajaran people and the great accomplishments of the Party and President Hadii. While folk instruments are still widely present, it is not uncommon for alien techniques to be used in musical productions. Artists can only perform in public areas and publish their works with the express approval of the government. Censorship is a common obstacle that many producers encounter. [[Notable Tajara#Yasmin Piaf|Yasmin Piaf]] is one of the most famous Republican artists.

Hadiist war songs during the first years of the second civil war used to boast about their technological and numerical superiority, claiming that the rebels would be swiftly crushed. During the later stages of the conflict; the theme quickly changed to call for the steadfast defense of the Republican lands and the preservation of their nation before the advancing enemy.

=== National Anthem ===

The current People's Republic's national anthem was chosen shortly after the ascension of President Hadii to power. The song portrays Malik's rule as reinvigorating and as the rightful continuation of Al'mari's government.

<poem>
The flag is moving in the morning sky,
With our first step as important as the winds,
Do they hear the winds, rustling again?
The winds of mighty attacks!

And our march is going on again!
And the heart is uneasy in our chest,
And the Republic is young again!
And the youth of Hadii are young again!
Now our march is going on again!
And the Republic is young again!
And the youth of Hadii are young again!

Don't wait on mercies from the Sun!
Don't spare their lives for truth!
In this life, comrades,
We have our own truth!

There are heat and snow in this world,
The world is young and rich,
The youth of Hadii is with them!
Onwards!

== Literature ==

Literature in the People’s Republic is heavily regulated and influenced by the Party. To secure government control over the field the '''Tajaran Union of Writers''' was established, an organization responsible for dictating the writing norms and acceptable contents of any book. All texts must be approved by the Union before being published, as publishing a work without official permission is considered a crime punishable with imprisonment. The government maintains a long list of banned works, that mostly includes pre-contact books and anything conflicting with the Hadiist’s values. Possession of banned texts is penalized with detention and re-education classes.

The current Party-supported school of literature is known as Hadiist Realism. This movement focuses on the condition of the Tajara people, the Republican struggle against the other two factions, and rebel stories from the First Revolution. Writers must portray the common Tajara as a heroic individual guided by the Party. Despite the support of the state towards literature, it has only found some moderate success within the urban population. Rural Tajara still see books with suspicion due to their association with the nobility.

=== Notable Books ===

*'''Hadiist Manifesto:''' a political document supposedly written by Al’mari Hadii after the First Revolution. It is regarded as the foundation of the Hadiist Ideology. It presents an analysis of the Tajaran situation post-conflict and how they could secure their future in the galaxy. Its reading is mandatory in all Republican schools and copies can be found in most homes and public buildings.

*'''The Tajara Without Sun:''' a self-published alternate history novel, set in a world where the People’s Republic won the Second Revolution. The book depicts a dystopian Adhomai under the totalitarian rule of President Hadii; a future where all aspects of life are fully controlled by the Hadiist Party. Due to rampant industrialization, the skies are covered by black smog that blocks any sunlight from reaching the planet. The work is famous for a scene where President Hadii orders the cyborgification of all Ruvska'ard Tajara. Due to its criticism of the Party, the book is banned. Its author is currently unknown; their real identity is subject to much speculation. Copies are commonly found in the black market or in the hands of Non-Republican Tajara.

*'''Summer Comes to Adhomai:''' a Hadiist Realist novel set during the First Revolution. The book tells the story of a young Hharar farmer involved in the revolt against the nobility. Later in the story, the protagonist encounters the forces of Al’mari and joins his army in his conquest of Adhomai. The text praises the bravery of the revolutionaries and depicts Hadiism as the inevitable outcome of the Revolution.

== Television ==

Television is one of the most popular forms of mass media in the People’s Republic, owing to the Tajaran traditions of theater and oral storytelling. All channels are currently under the strict control of the government. While a majority of the programs are Adhomian-made, few select alien shows are allowed after passing by the Party-approved editing and translation. Television is considered a powerful propaganda tool by the Hadiist Party. Soap operas, films, and news are made to teach republican ideals and reinforce President Hadii's cult of personality. Actors are selected for their roles depending on their standing with the Party.

Telenovelas are well-received by the Republican audience. Hadiist shows are usually focused on the daily Tajaran life and period pieces set during the First Revolution. PRA television is infamous for interrupting the regularly scheduled programs to broadcast President Hadii’s speeches.

=== Notable Shows ===

*'''Comrade Rafama and Friends:''' an animated series aimed towards the younger audience. This shows attempts to teach the principles of Hadiism through characters based on Adhomian animals. The protagonist, Comrade Rafama, is the embodiment of the ideal Hadiist citizen; he and his many friends are always eager to apply the teachings of the Republican ideology to resolve any problem that they may come across. The cartoon’s popularity outside of Adhomai exploded after the introduction of Cool Schlorrgo; a character meant to represent the PRA loyalist forces in Hro’zamal.

*'''Midnight in Shastar City:''' a spy-thriller series focusing on the life of Comrade Konon, a fictional PSIS agent going undercover in the Adhomai Liberation Army. The show follows a rigid format where the protagonist is involved in a different operation every episode, ends trapped in a death-and-life situation, and then escapes using some kind of ingenious gadget or makeshift solution.

*'''Tears on the Snow:''' one of the longest-running Adhomian telenovelas, it is focused on the history of a Tajara family through modern Tajaran history. The plot started with the first revolution and is currently situated in the period after Al’mari’s death. The show is known for its large cast of characters and over-the-top dramatic situations.

== Radio ==

Radio has a long history with the People's Republic, as it was widely used by rebels during the First Revolution. While it is quickly losing ground to television, it is still popular with the rural population. In a similar manner to other mass media outlets, the radio is heavily regulated and censored. All major stations are controlled by the People’s Republic and serve as propaganda vehicles for the Party. Amateur radios are allowed to operate after acquiring the proper license, but their channels are closely monitored by the Secret Service. Several jamming stations were built to prevent Hadiist citizens from listening to broadcasts made by the other Adhomian states. Number stations are common in the People's Republic, some have clear goals, like counting the time until curfew, while others' intended purposes remain unclear.

Outside of Party endorsed music, radionovelas stand out in the Republican radio scene. Spy thrillers, war stories, and melodramas are the most prevalent genres in these shows.

=== Notable Radio Stations ===

*'''The Voice of the Tajaran People:''' the national network of the PRA, focused on the political life in the country. It is considered the major source of news about the country and outside affairs on the radio. President Hadii is known to transmit all of his speeches through this channel. It is a tradition in communal farms for Tajara to gather around the radio to listen to what their leader has to say every afternoon.

*'''KGTW-11:''' a radio station geared towards music and other sources of entertainment. Sports, fashion, television shows, and more are discussed by the hosts. Despite the seemingly apolitical nature of this channel, they are also under constant vigilance by the secret police in case they transmit any anti-Hadiist message. Yasmin Piaf is the main star of this network.

== National Holidays ==

The Party maintains its own set of state-approved holidays to be celebrated by the citizens of the Republic. Even in the harshest years of the war, these holidays were celebrated in full extravagance.

*'''Establishment of the People’s Freedom and Memorial Day (March 4th):''' also known as Victory Day, this PRA holiday is centered around the founding of the People’s Republic of Adhomai following the First Revolution. It begins with a President’s speech congratulating the loyal citizens of the republic for keeping up their ideals bestowed by the revolutionaries and the Party. Ceremonies are held in cities in respect to the various heroes of the Republic and Al’mari Hadii, who are given a full memorial in the form of a state funeral service before the Palace of the Free Tajara in Nal’tor. Military parades to show off the Republic’s advancements and might are held within major cities. The Social Harmony Committee of D6 hosts their ceremony and parade with PRA veterans in front of the Hadii Living Complex.

*'''Presidential Honoring and Respect Anniversary (May 30th):''' held on President Njadrasanukii Hadii’s birthday (unofficially known as President’s Day) this holiday had only officially become one at the beginning of the Second Revolution. When President Hadii’s cult of personality grew into the power that it is today, he had seen fit to declare his birthday a holiday within the PRA. During this day, a lengthy ceremony is held in the capital to celebrate President Hadii’s guidance of the PRA into the future and prosperity. This ceremony includes performances from the Grand People’s Army orchestra, personal accounts from military officers on President Hadii’s great leadership, and stories from the older generations who speak highly about how Hadiism improved Adhomai. D6’s party halls fill up during this time to screen recordings of the ceremony. Normally, to make full use of their payments, the organizers of these screenings hold dances afterward.

==Hadii's Youth Clubs==

Hadii's Youth Clubs are a recent reorganization by the current Minister of Education, Kalim Khazdar, of the much older Youth Brigades. After the armistice was signed, it soon became clear that the war-oriented Youth Brigades were no longer suitable for the young citizens of PRA. Thus Hadii's Youth Clubs were established, focusing more on education, good manners, and proper political behavior. Children from ages three to seventeen can enroll in a youth club, with the youngest members often being given to the care of the girls in the clubs.

Members of these clubs are easy to spot due to their uniforms. The boys are equipped with blue shorts, or pants during winter, white shirts, and bright orange cravats. Meanwhile, the girls are required to wear blue skirts, white long-sleeved shirts, and bright blue cravats. This uniform is a carry-over from the Youth Brigades, with one exception being the color of the shirt as it was changed from red to white. Children in these clubs often try to collect "good deeds" into their assigned logbooks. These deeds range from carrying groceries to the old, visiting an industrial powerplant, or conducting a course in political mannerisms. This of course isn't the only activity, as they are often given free time to play team sports, hike, or engage in "Pretend War".

The HYC is self-organized, with a civilian Party member being able to function as an overseer. Thanks to this change, even the most remote places are now able to provide their kids with after-school activities. Still, certain seniority exists, as the biggest HYC groups are pre-established and reorganized Youth Brigades, with most members still consisting of previous Youth Brigadiers. Notable youth clubs include; Young Ras'neers, Nal'Tor Volunteer Youths, and the controversial Rhazar Mountaineers, composed entirely of settled Rock Nomad children.

== Sports ==

The PRA shortly after its establishment quickly began to rewrite and re-interpret the rules and ways Tajara played sports. Much of the old nobility’s games were remade to serve the wider Tajara people. Men and women in parks played board games replicating the conquest of Adhomai, farehal loops were made in playgrounds for children to play in, and mahmrro clubs were founded and started underneath the Hadii authority. Nowadays the state has a vested interest in promoting games to youth. Especially with increasing urbanization, [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/?do=findComment&comment=157462| programs] were initiated to promote activeness in children to not just keep them fit but away from unwanted or illegal activities. Sports are taught to all Republican children as not a way to compete but to work with others. Tournaments do not have winners or champions and all players are congratulated for their participation.

Farehal is considered a child’s sport in the PRA. Board games became a big trend in the interwar period and saw the creation of several tabletop games, many of which also drifted into Little Adhomai. Mahmrro clubs in the PRA are run by the state as a means to encourage physical fitness in the population. Such examples are the Hadiist Youth clubs. There are no private clubs and what national teams there aren’t on the basis of any city or region but instead army branches and government ministries. The most well-known teams are the Republican Army Artillerymen, composed of veterans from the Army; The Ministry of Education Club, made of physical fitness teachers; And the Intelligence Services MC, a club for members of the PSIS. Other teams include the Naval MC, the MC Kosmosnaut, and the Ministry of Technology MC, which are considered the worst due to their low win/loss ratio.

== Crime ==

Crime in the People's Republic usually takes the form of bribery, smuggling, and [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/6/#findComment-169015 paper forgeries]. Violent crime is relatively uncommon and is harshly oppressed by the Hadiist police force. Because of its oversized and Party dominated bureaucracy, governmental corruption is widespread. The criminal underground is dominated by groups focused on forging documents and running illegal goods. Many Party members are involved in these organizations; authorities commonly obtain a share of their profits by turning a blind eye to their activities. This situation is known to the high echelons of the Party, but they prefer to only interfere when it aligns with their own motives. A notable rise, and one that carries a high risk, is the black market for phoron. The phoron rationing programs of the PRA have resulted in a lucrative black market for phoron, fueled by pirates and Party members. It is a high risk market, however, as the upper echelons of the Party spare little expense in rooting out those smuggling the precious material.

Speaking against the Party, preaching any other ideology besides Hadiism, possessing unauthorized literature, and lying to Party members are among some of the political crimes that can earn anyone a hefty sentence. The persecution of dissidents is under the responsibility of the People's Strategic Intelligence Service. While the death sentence is generally reserved to members of the Party, victims of purges, or for those suspected of working for other Adhomian powers; most political prisoners are re-educated and later released.

Protests and riots were a very rare sight across the PRA post-revolution. With the consolidation of supplies and resources, the Party was capable of placating the majority of the populace. The small minority of those dissenters were handled easily by the well-funded PSIS. However, with the mounting problems stemming from the economic disruptance caused by the phoron scarcity, protests and dissent have begun to test the limits of the PSIS and NPD. High unemployment, lowering wages, a lethargic and overstrained welfare system, all are causes for unrest in less fortunate urban centers. Ruralities are typically spared the struggles of urban dissent, however they struggle with disruption as less fortunate urbanites flee to the countryside. With a high amount of overcrowding and questionable food safety in rural towns, protests have become a growing problem for local police.

Both common criminals and political dissidents are sent to the same prisons without any separation. This practice is done to promote conflict between both factions to prevent coordination among the convicts. An increasing practice within the Hadiist system is the transfer of those serving life sentences to the Ministry of Technology. This practice is done under the table, as it is not condoned by the Party at large, and has proven to be a boon for certain experiments.

= Economy =

The People’s Republic of Adhomai uses the Adhomian Knuckle (თ) and the Biesel Standard Credit (电/CR) as its main currencies. Out of all Tajaran currencies, the Hadiist Knuckle is currently the most valuable one. Its banknotes are stamped with images of notable Tajara, with President Hadii's visage being the most common one. Commander Nated was once present in early print runs, but most notes bearing his image have been collected by the government; the few pieces that survived are considered valuable collector's items.

The Biesel Standard Credit is accepted everywhere in the People's Republic. This currency is used mainly by the megacorporations and the government. As part of a deal with the Sol Alliance, which was later ratified by the Republic of Biesel following the breakdown of relations, the Hadiist government can print a limited number of Biesellite credits.

Despite being largely rural, the People’s Republic is the faction with the most industrialized economy. While the majority of vital industries are controlled by the government, small private enterprise is still possible in a select number of sectors, as long as governmental permission is granted. The presence of megacorporations in the PRA territory was once a boon to economic growth. Steadily, as trade becomes difficult with the frontier planet and human-made machines degrade without vital phoron, it has become a stagnant component. Many workers still seek out the corporations for jobs off-world or in the growing resource extraction operations, most notably NanoTrasen with [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/7/#findComment-183840 Hephaestus Industries] and Orion Express rapidly expanding.

National party-owned factories answer directly to the government and have Party assigned overseers who decide how to run the production. The typical factory employs assembly lines and simple industrial robots, allowing the People's Republic to make use of their cheap labor and growing educated population. Government owned factories have become the centerpoint of Hadiist construction. Construction of new state-run factories has scaled to attempt to accommodate the rapidly declining corporate-owned factories, with less than stellar results.

Fully mechanized factories equipped with the latest in human machinery were once a growing presence in high-tech areas such as the city of Al’marii. However, this trend dropped off starkly as the Hadiist government began a strict phoron rationing program. Output dropped significantly without the wonder material, and the cost of import equipment far outweighed the potential profits. As such, many high-tech factories have since been abandoned leading to many shortages in cheap luxury goods. Despite this, Hephaestus Industries has become one of few megacorporation to [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/7/#findComment-183840 build more factories] within the PRA. Factories owned by megacorporations are permitted to run as the owner sees fit.

The Hadiist industry consists mainly of a large heavy sector supplemented by a sizable light industry. The People's Republic specializes in producing heavy machinery and processing the natural riches of Adhomai. Consumers' goods are very reliable and simple; megacorporations usually supply most of the luxurious products. These highly sought after luxuries are rarely afforded to all but the upper-class of the Republic thanks to rising import costs. Those lucky enough to save enough credits to afford such luxuries often find the maintenance costs too high, and promptly leave it for disuse. Thanks to the Hadiist investments in research, the technology industry in the PRA is one of the fastest-growing fields.

Hadiist agriculture is organized into collective farms. These farms are administered by councils of local Party members who act as managers who oversee the work for the season and send reports and requests to the central government in Nal'tor. The Party gathers all of the information provided by the farming councils - and all other economic data - and processes them through an older generation Artificial Intelligence, known as Aparhatchyk, purchased from the Republic of Biesel in 2459. This AI, dependent on phoronic technologies, has been a boon to the PRA’s agricultural economy. However, its use has been restricted to select times of the year to help stave off rising operational costs. The ministries of the Republic have begun training to fill-in for these gaps in operations, however the inefficiency and lack of real experience have led to shortages, lower crop yields, nutrient drainage, and an otherwise underperforming economy.

The government sends out directives to the farms, telling them to grow various crops and send requested equipment or additional labor power. The farmer councils then work to implement given orders locally. They do not compete directly with other regions. There is always a diverse yield produced every season. With the severe mismanagement of food supply, many councils take it upon themselves to skim crop yields for redistributing among rural black markets, a practice which typically goes unnoticed or ignored. Despite the illegal nature of it, this black market of crops has led to a thriving underground economy. While farming may be fulfilling to many, this simple life leads Tajara with a yearning to achieve more in life, or escape the rigid conservative life on the farm, to filter into the cities and then into space to find adventure in the greater galaxy.

Several welfare programs exist in Republican states. A common sight in the cities is communal apartment complexes with no rent, allowing the poorest urban dwellers to have a residency when they can not pay their bills. The life inside of those accommodations is devoid of luxuries, as they are built with low-cost materials and can house many families at once. The system has become heavily strained in recent years with the continued economic downturn. Soup kitchens struggle with food supply, a stark difference compared to the well-stocked grocery stores. Many families reliant on the urban welfare programs choose to leave their city and return to the rural farms and mines, or push their offspring to become educated and find a well-paying job off-world in hopes that the salary of a corporate job can return the family to good standing.

While the People’s Republic has not yet reached reliance on phoronic technologies in every sector, the use of the wonder material can be felt in other ways. Namely, the use of megacorporate technologies, factories, and spacecraft. Trade remains a vital part of the Hadiist economy and its immense material output. With the scarcity in full swing across the Spur, trade routes have become less profitable for the Republic and corporations alike. Pay cuts have begun to roll out across almost every industry sans agricultural. The cost of off-world luxury goods continues to rise. Corporate factories, being ever reliant on phoron to outpace the production of Party-owned facilities, have slowed down production and, by extent, worker pay. Lesser regions of the nation, such as those rural towns are smaller cities, have experienced temporary food shortages at times as advanced mechanized farms begin to see declining yields.

In turn with shortages, the Party has enacted a strict phoron rationing program. Recipients are tiered based on importance to national goals, the rate of phoron usage, and other smaller factors. This has led to tension and occasionally competition between organizations that need the precious material. The most notable examples tend to be advanced farming communities vying for phoron before their next harvest. Meanwhile, the Orbital Fleet bemoans the prioritization of academia and research over the operations of the space fleet. The Party condemns the entire debate, stating that the rationing program has been implemented as the nation requires, and that no true citizen of the Republic should feel concern over their allotment of phoron.

== Tourism ==

Tourism in the People's Republic is tightly controlled by the government. The state monopolizes the industry; however, collaboration with megacorporations is widespread. Due to concerns over internal security, only certain areas are available for visitation. The historical cities and the idyllic region of Ras'nrr Heartlands are the main attractions. Religious tourism is also common in the southern Rhazar Mountains, where pilgrims can visit ancient Tajaran temples. While alien tourists suffer no additional restrictions during their stay and can travel to anywhere a Hadiist citizen can, they are constantly watched by the PRA security service.

= Technology =

The People's Republic of Adhomai is the leading force on Adhomai when it comes to technological advancement. Owing to their long history as the only recognized Tajaran government (until recently), the Republic enjoyed assistance from extrasolar entities such as the NanoTrasen Corporation, Republic of Biesel, and even the [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/5/#findComment-159521 Free Tajaran Council]. This has helped the Republic develop advanced medical care and weapons, but most of this advancement is centered around the urban centers in the Republic's territory. Rural areas are typically less well-equipped, and the cost of medevacing injured family members to large cities like Nal'Tor is beyond the average farmer's budget.

These technological advances have come at a cost. Many corporate assisted advances, namely those in the medical field, require the ever dwindling resource of phoron. As a result, fewer and fewer Tajara have been granted access to the highest tiers of technology, rather than having to utilize their lesser but non-phoronic counterparts. This has supercharged the development of Tesla technology, however the inherent limitations of this Hadiist-created field have proven difficult to navigate around.

== Aparhatchyk ==

Aparhatchyk is an older generation AI created in the Republic of Biesel. In 2459, the People’s Republic purchased the AI to fuel its growing economy, and to progress its technological capabilities. While originally used solely for the management of the agricultural and production economy, its use expanded rapidly into numerous military and civilian fields. However, being a human technology, it relies on the use of phoron. Despite the small requirements compared to modern human AIs, the older age of Aparhatchyk has resulted in more frequent maintenance and wear down of the phoronic components. With the rising cost of operation, the AI has begun being used sparingly, with subcomponents of the AI being activated or deactivated throughout the year.

The most notable and widespread use of Aparhatchyk is the economic management subcomponent. This system takes in data from across the PRA. Resource extraction, previous production quotas and results, alongside agricultural yields, and so on. It returns a report on recommended actions for use by the Ministry of Economy and Ministry of Agriculture. This powerful tool has been pinned as the reason for the Republic’s high economic growth in previous years, and the robust industry. However, as this component has a relatively lower necessity to national defence, it has been used increasingly sparingly, forcing the Republic to adapt and train numerous functionaries to try and achieve a fraction of the foresight the machine was capable of.

The Republic’s nuclear arsenal is a vital component of its defensive stance, that being a form of mutually assured destruction. With the advent of the [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/5/#findComment-160314 Skypillar] missile system, the AI was established as the primary controller of these missiles, answerable only to President Hadii himself. As such, this subcomponent of the AI remains the most important system, having never been deactivated regardless of the phoron supply.

Smaller subcomponents, such as the use of Aparhatchyk derivatives in tanks or spacecraft have seen success. Despite the inferior versions having less maintenance and running requirements, the usage of phoron has led many to be removed or temporarily deactivated.

== Civilian ==

Even the average Republican citizen enjoys the technological fruits of the PRA's labor. Automobiles are a common sight, even outside of the major population hubs. With advanced cold-resistant construction and snow tires, your local farmer's pick-up truck is more useful than the previous N'hanzfu-driven carts. Sedans, vans, and large trucks are typical of civilian Tajara, and automobile sales spiked with the end of the war. Never before has the average Tajara citizen been able to enjoy the luxury of automated travel with such ease. Specially designed snow-piercing trains and underground rail systems are a staple and facet of modern urban PRA life. Investment into infrastructure has enabled the PRA to create a wide web of rail and bus systems, including advanced designs such as [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/6/#findComment-167906 maglev trains].

And, after a long day at work and riding public transportation, the typical PRA Tajara can return home to enjoy new advances in the field of telecommunications like their television set. Before the First Civil War, only the nobility had radios, and the populace had to rely on plays and other stage settings for entertainment. Now, not only are radios commonplace in almost every PRA household, but television sets are becoming even more popular. Each family is provided a television by the State, which can view up to at least thirty party-approved channels broadcasting everything from children's cartoons to the State news network. It is in this way that the People’s Republic is able to effectively disseminate propaganda to the masses and in some instances perhaps even spy on them.

Electric stoves, coffee machines, blenders, food processors - so many appliances have been introduced to the Tajara household. One can regularly view commercials on the air directed towards the lady of the house, advertising the next useful kitchen gadget to make her life taking care of her family and husband all the simpler! And for the children, simple wooden toy blocks and animals have been steadily replaced by plastic action figures, electronic video game systems, and even kid-friendly science-oriented learning sets (uranium included). For most families living in large cities, their home life has been irrevocably changed thanks to the Republic's technological superiority.

With their population booming from advances in medical care and home life, the PRA was forced to [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/6/#findComment-169521 invest their money into agriculture and farming equipment as well]. Tractors, tills, combines and other industrial farming mechanisms including auto-farms and culture-controlled greenhouses have supplanted and replaced the slow, old methods. Even small rural farmers no longer have to plant their crops by hand, as farming equipment is loaned by the government to ensure steady food production. A dying generation of old farmhands and ranch owners find their knowledge less and less useful to pass on as machine-assisted farmers outpace the yields of old.

Computers are quickly becoming widespread in the People’s Republic following the armistice. Outside of already being a fundamental part of the state bureaucracy, personal terminals are making their way into the Hadiist homes. Communal farms above a certain crop yield are given a computer linked to the managerial Artificial Intelligence to manage their production.

=== Notable Civilian Vehicles ===

*'''TAI-M1:''' a half-track, sedan-style car manufactured by the national automobile factories in Tampiska. Designed as a simple, cheap car to be mass-produced for the population during the interwar period. The initial plan of giving every Tajaran family an automobile was delayed by the Second Revolution; the constant fighting for Tampiska also interrupted much of the production. The project returned with full force after the Armistice. Able to withstand Adhomai's rough terrain and weather, the TAI-M1 is ubiquitous in PRA's urban and rural areas.

*'''TAI-Volgydoh:''' an executive car designated for Party Members and government officials. The Volgydoh is more spacious and comfortable than the TAI-M1. Early versions were convertible; this feature was discontinued after the assassination of Al'mari. These vehicles are only made in black color. Special models - powered by high-performance engines - are issued to the secret police. Due to the frequent use by the agents of the PSIS, these cars have been an almost constant target of bombing and sabotage attempts by the DPRA during the war, which lends them the nickname of "Coffin". Mentions of the nickname warrant the charge of inciting terrorism.

*'''Bryskavar Tractor:''' an experimental tractor powered by a miniaturized tesla engine. This prototype employs the same technology used by the tesla troopers. The tractor is larger than regular diesel models, but newer models are slowly being subject to improvements to fix this issue. The vehicle is currently being issued to communal farms as part of its testing phase. The initial prototypes were prone to random electric dischargers; another flaw that is being rectified by the Hadiist scientists. The People's Republic of Adhomai plans to apply this development to other vehicles.

== Medical ==

It is not only the military that has benefitted from PRA innovation. Whereas prior to discovery, the life expectancy of the average Tajara worker was around fifty years, now individuals living in hubs like Nal'tor can survive even well into their eighties. A greater understanding of anatomy and medicines have enabled the Tajara people to live longer, healthier lives. Infant death has plummeted, and the production of numerous vaccines have rendered several diseases extinct. Tajara-specific medication is more easily and quickly synthesized, contributing to the decrease in the cost of drugs.

The best in medical equipment, sourced directly from medical giants like Nanotrasen, have become a common sight across urban hospitals. Their use, however, is not as common and remains reserved for Party members and those in critical care. Regardless, your prospects are brighter than before with the advanced, however not as effective, Hadiist equipment. Rural clinics and hospitals, while better equipped now than they ever have been before, often are stocked with second-hand equipment from Urban hospitals. Midwives are still common amongst small towns and villages. Many communities continue to use traditional healing methods. Plans to standardize medical care across the rural communities within the PRA give hope, even if the roll-out is slow and piecemeal.

The most recent advancement for PRA citizens is the production of prosthetics using similar technology as the Tesla Trooper corps. Many veterans of both the First and Second Civil War have had their amputated limbs refitted with these mechanical limbs. The design and technology of these novel Tesla prosthetics can be seen [[#Tesla Prosthetics|here]].

== Military==

Perhaps the largest gap between the three powers on Adhomai is one of military might; the People's Republic has the most advanced military and was the first state with the capability to launch its own ships into space. This gives them a significant advantage over the New Kingdom and the Democratic People's Republic as they can control the space around Adhomai without contest. The Orbital Fleet is a technological marvel achieved in conjunction with human scientists, who provided outside help in the Republic’s efforts to propel Tajara into the stars. The Fleet is not without its drawbacks, however. It remains the highest cost in the Republic’s budget due to the relatively immense phoron usage. As such, fleet operations have become fewer and fewer, a far cry from the impressive operational endurance during the war.

Beyond the Orbital Fleet and the Kosmostrelki that protect the S'rrendmarr system, the PRA was the first government entity on Adhomai to successfully field and maintain nuclear armaments. The most infamous deployment of these weapons was the bomb that atomized Quizosa, resulting in massive casualties. Since this incident and the galactic outrage it caused, the PRA has not used nuclear weapons again - but they have more missiles in storage, and the threat of nuclear fire has brought their enemies to heel in some small capacity.

Veterans of the People's Republic are entitled to Tesla prosthetics as replacements for war wounds, a technology derived from the Republic's fearsome Tesla Troopers. The Republic has not shied away from the mechanical enhancement of its special forces teams, and the aforementioned Tesla Troopers are an example of this. The standard soldier is supplemented with cutting-edge firearms and armor, further empowering their performance in the field. With a great emphasis placed on laser weaponry, heavy armor, military exosuits, and weapons of mass destruction, the PRA military is a force to be reckoned with indeed.

=== Weapons ===

Unlike the other Adhomian factions, the Hadiist military has fully adopted automatic weapons. Their service rifle is the Tsarrayut'yan rifle, a select-fire, automatic rifle. Laser weapons are usually used by high-ranking soldiers or special operatives. Regardless of advances in the small arms field, artillery is the Republican army’s main weapon and pride.

Traditional Tajaran weapons, such as single shot and bolt action rifles, are widespread among the rural population. Those guns are primarily used for hunting or held as heirlooms from the First Revolution. Firearms are far less common in the urban centers, as they are associated with Party officials or gangsters. The purchase and carry of firearms require a permit issued by the government, with the exception being made to the members of the Hadiist Party and weapons that are considered family’s relics. Civilians can only acquire simple pistols, revolvers, and hunting rifles if they can prove a clear purpose for them such as hunting or defense of their shop. Party Membership allows citizens to acquire more powerful equipment, such as submachine guns.

==== Notable Weapons ====

*''' Tui'ad "Icelance" Laser Rifle:''' a clumsy energy weapon of Tajaran design, recharged through cranking. Despite having far less capacity and accuracy than modern laser rifles, the Icelance has proved itself to be adapted to the less advanced battlefields of Adhomai, as charging stations and even electricity can be a rare commodity in the most remote areas of the planet.

*''' Adar'Mazy Pistol:''' mass-produced pistol issued to People's Republic officers, government officials, and low-ranking Party members. Known for its simple, cheap, and reliable design, this weapon is produced by nearly all weapon factories in the Republic. The Adar’Mazy is also found in the hands of Adhomai Liberation Army soldiers and commanders.

*''' Nal'tor Model Pistol:''' given to Republican Commissars and high-ranking Party members, this bulky pistol is notable for its large caliber. Unlike the Adar'Mazy pistol, only a single factory in Nal’tor is allowed to fabricate it; its design is kept as a state secret. Because of its rarity and status, the Adhomai Heavy Pistol was a sought-after war trophy by royalists and rebel forces.

*''' Tesla Glove:''' a tesla-based weapon created by the People's Republic of Adhomai as part of their Tesla Brigade program. The glove is a gauntlet capable of firing electricity arcs and shocking targets by touch; as it is powered by a miniaturized version of the Tesla Spine. Because of its long recharge time and unwieldy design, the glove is mainly used as an ancillary weapon.

==== Notable Experimental Weapons ====

*'''Nuclear Launcher:''' the People's Republic of Adhomai was the first Adhomian faction to master nuclear fission. Atomic weapons were used before in the Tajaran civil war, causing the annihilation of the military base of Quizosa. The nuclear launcher was created at the end of the second civil, by republican scientists as a way to deploy such destructive force while on the field. This firearm launches a miniaturized nuclear warhead capable of causing a controlled, but highly destructive, nuclear explosion. Due to its experimental and dangerous nature, this weapon never saw deployment, but several prototypes can be found in the republican arsenals.

*'''Cybernetic Ha'rron:''' invented by the Ministry of Technology, the Cybernetic Ha'rron is a heavily augmented animal. Its limbs are replaced with specially made tesla prostheses; protection plates, bullet or stab proof are grafted on its back, head, and abdomen; hydraulic cylinders strengthen its jaw's strength; and the eyes are replaced with night vision optics connected to the brain. Due to the increase in aggressiveness and a shortened lifespan, the Ha'rron is kept in a drug-induced coma when not deployed. The cyborg hounds are currently being supplied to the People's Strategic Intelligence Service for testing.

*'''Skypillar System:''' created to deploy the Hadiist nuclear arsenal in case of a decapitation first strike, the Skypillar System is a missile control system recently revealed by the PRA. It relies on a series of sensors controlled by copies of the Republican AI. If the Skypillar detects an explosion, it will attempt to contact President Hadii and the Party to acquire authorization to use weapons of mass destruction. If unable to reach any authority, the Skypillar System will decide on its own if it will retaliate or not. The reliability of the mechanism and location of the sensors are only known to very few members of the state apparatus.

*'''Tesla Incinerator:''' created by the Ministry of Technology's Elektroika Labs, the Tesla Incinerator is a fearsome exosuit-mounted weapon. Utilizing an internal tesla generator, the incinerator creates a ball of plasma within a gas stored at the nozzle of the weapon. A strong directed magnetic pulse forces the plasma out in a cone of effect towards the target. While limited in range, the end effect is a devastating attack. The incinerator can only be used in extremely short bursts, or else the generator risks destabilizing and cause a devastating containment failure. Additionally, the usage of gas means the incinerator has limited usage before needing reloading, a time-consuming and dangerous process.

==== Notable Military Vehicles ====
[[File:Pkus in city.png|thumb|A P'kus-3 Light Exosuit equipped with a Tesla Incinerator while on patrol duties by the Eastern Chaniskaiye border.]]
*'''Ha'rron III:''' a main battle tank developed in the intermediate stages of the Second Revolution to replace the Mata'ke Rafama II. Thanks to its simple design, good armor, firepower, and speed, the Ha'rron III quickly became a mainstay of the Republican armored divisions. The tank is mainly used to accompany motorized infantry during operations. Plans were made to begin development on a Mark IV model after the war’s end, but those resources were instead moved by the ministry of technology to their mech designs.

*'''Rhazar Mk. I/II:''' a heavy tank built in the late stages of the Second Revolution. Instead of being equipped with a traditional ballistic gun, the Rhazar has a laser cannon. While this weapon gave the tank hefty firepower, it could only properly operate when in proximity to powerlines. However, the Rhazar Mk. I was effective in defending the Hadiist core territories in the final moments of the war. Projects to replace the engine with a tesla generator have netted moderate success with older Mk. I models being [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/6/#findComment-177855 upgraded into the Mk. II]. However, these models eschew the anticipated use of automated turrets due to phoronic limitations.

*'''Trid'irra crawler:''' a mech created for the [[Tajaran_Military_Structures#Division_Experimental_Exosuit|Division Experimental Exosuit]]. The Trid'irra is a medium-sized crawler carrying artillery guns. Its main role is softening targets before the multipurpose vehicles of the Division EE can engage. Because it was never used in combat, the true effectiveness of the Trid'irra remains unknown. Despite the investment in these new technologies, many Hadiist generals doubt that mechs can ever replace tanks.

*'''P'kus-3 Light Exosuit:''' a mech created for the [[Tajaran_Military_Structures#Division_Experimental_Exosuit|Division Experimental Exosuit]]. The P'kus-3, commonly nicknamed the "Egg", is a multi-purpose light exosuit for use by the Grand People's Army's Division EE and the Orbital Navy Kosmostrelki. Unlike its counterpart, the Trid'irra crawler, it features a modular mounting system for easy swapping of weapon systems. Heavy and light armored variants exist, with the heavy armored system seeing use with Kosmostrelki boarding parties to great success. Recent deals between the [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/7/#findComment-184305 Ministry of Technology and the SCC] have seen its components sold at discount to SCC corporations in return for usage data.

==Tesla Technology==

Elektroika, commonly known as Tesla Technology, remains one of a handful of novel technologies developed on Adhomai. Based on the volatile but potent Tesla field, Tesla technology has become the pride of Hadiist science. While not reliant on phoron technology, Tesla technology is vastly inefficient and less effective compared to its phoronic counterparts. It occupies a space below the human technologies of the modern age, but could prove its reliability in the phoron scarcity.

The most notable and widely used of the Tesla technological line-up is the generator. These generators range in size with the smallest being found in the Tesla Gauntlet. The largest on record was an experimental grid-scale power generator. The limiting factor in all cases is containment. Tesla generators require a thick containment shield, multiple discharge rods, and frequent maintenance. These requirements, however, do not ensure a consistent and safe generation field. Tesla generators, especially those larger variants, are notorious for containment failures. The results range from small shocks to explosive discharges. Containment failure has few cautionary signs, and is exceedingly difficult to reverse unlike Supermatter or nuclear alternatives. As such, maintenance technicians are highly sought after and often paid higher than average wages for their round the clock supervision and maintenance of the volatile technologies. Tesla generators are not without their benefits, however. The efficiency and output of Tesla generators are high, rivaling if not surpassing their fusion counterparts when adjusted for scale. Additionally, they are compact resulting in a high energy density.

The commissioning and decommissioning process for a Tesla generator is a careful and tightly controlled process. Both events have a high likelihood to result in failure, often resulting in the severe injury of the scientists and technicians present. Due to the inability of a Tesla generator to “turn off”, decommissioning is performed through a controlled containment failure, often via remotely detonated explosives in secure facilities underground. Research into slow-decay decommissioning is seen as one of the top-priorities in Tesla Technology.

=== Tesla Prosthetics ===

The most visible use of Tesla technology is the Tesla prosthetics program. Due to the high cost and difficult integration of human-made prosthetics, the Ministry of Technology designed Hadiist-made prosthetics with Tajara anatomy in mind. Originally tested on soldiers to form the [[Tajaran_Military_Structures#Tesla_Brigade|Tesla Brigade]], the program was released for civilian testing in 2462. Since then, the program has expanded to include Tesla organs, and improve upon the safety and design of the limbs and spine.

Between the military and civilian programs, numerous differences exist. Military-grade Tesla prosthetics were designed around earlier versions of the Tesla spine, which had leveraged the more powerful (and unstable) generator to supply the limbs, power armor, and even offensive electrical arcs. Civilian-grade Tesla prosthetics utilize newer versions of the Tesla spine. While not powerful enough to supply much more than prosthetic limbs and organs, it is much safer with the lowest chance of containment failure across all Tesla generators.

=== Tesla Rejuvenation Suit ===

Created as part of the Tesla prosthetics program, the [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/5/#findComment-161120 Tesla Rejuvenation Suit] is a hulking suit that allows disabled Tajara to regain their vigor. Its users are surgically grafted in the machine; their limbs are replaced by large, industrial replacements; their organs are placed in a tank full of healing chemicals located inside their chest, and finally, a big tesla spine is installed. Only the head remains untouched. The suits are bulky and clumsy, restricting their wearers to jobs involving weight lifting and other menial tasks. Since this invention is still in its early stage, reports of it malfunctioning or causing pain to its user are not unheard of; however, the government is quick to claim that these are only subversive rumors. Because of extensive augmentation, Tajara in these suits reports loss of sensations everywhere except the face. The Rejuvenation Suit is only granted to loyal Hadiist Tajara living in the People's Republic. Tajara wearing it are colloquially called "steelsuits".

=== Tesla Resurrected ===

One of the most secretive projects of the People's Republic is their quest to defeat death itself. In this mission, they created the Tesla Resurrected. Only known through leaked information, these experiments are dead Tajara brought back to life using a mixture of augmentation, chemicals, and life support machinery. While fresh bodies produced sentient subjects, with the bare minimum of consciousness to be called such, corpses with signs of decay require invasive techniques to birth more crude results. These resurrected, amalgamations of flesh and metal, are either mindless machines or reportedly violent maniacs. It is currently unknown if these experiments still exist in underground laboratories or if they were destroyed after they were interrogated for their secrets from beyond the grave.

== Science Cities ==

[https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/6/#findComment-170130 Science cities] are a large and expansive project by the Ministry of Technology to build a number of towns dedicated towards research and testing. Intended to be secretive and protected, these towns are built underground and without a disclosed location. Families are selected by the Ministry of Technology and PSIS to carry out the functions of the community. Primarily research, however supporting functions of food and recreation are provided to eliminate the need and risk of researchers entering the public scene. No official number has been declared regarding how many of these science cities have been built or are planned to be built.

== Outsider Department ==

The Outsider Department, officially called Department for Alternative Research, is supposedly a secret division of the Ministry of Technology tasked with researching parapsychology and anomalous phenomena. Only known through rumors and leaked documents, the department was created by the orders of Minister Zhuldyz Hadii after the war. Tales claim that countless unethical experiments take place in subterranean laboratories in an attempt to unlock the secret of the Tajaran mind and soul. Self-proclaimed magicians and mystics are brought to have their abilities put to test; so far, nothing concrete was found. Thanks to a recent partnership between the Ministry of Technology and the PSIS, there is no shortage of test subjects for the Outsider Department.

== Extranet ==

The People’s Republic has been connected to the extranet since the end of the First Revolution. It has the largest population online in Adhomai. However, it is subject to censorship by the Party; the Extranet is closely monitored by the secret police for any subversive tendencies. Sites that contain Anti-Hadiist ideas, such as Al'mariism and Royalism, are blocked. To cover the role of the banned domains, there are Hadiist-approved sites available to the public. Accessing the uncensored extranet is possible through illegal software or by being a full member of the Hadiist Party. The People’s Republic is rumored to be behind the countless bots that roam the extranet downvoting and reporting anti-Hadiist content.

Connecting to sites beyond Adhomai has proven troublesome. Due to the relative isolation of the S’rendarr system from the rest of the Spur, it is often the first to lose extranet connections when relays must go down.

=== Notable Websites ===

*'''Square:''' the most popular social media in the People’s Republic. Square is a social network service that allows users to create their profiles to stay connected to their friends and family. It is also possible to share content and pictures through a news feed and albums. In order to sign up, citizens have to register their Republican ID. The website is rumored to be used by the state to acquire extra information about its citizens.

*'''AdhomaiEye:''' the top search engine in the People’s Republic of Adhomai. AdhomaiEye is suspected of favoring Hadiist-aligned sources above popular or accurate results. Websites related to the other Tajaran factions are unlisted and searching blacklisted terms is considered a crime.

*'''PRATopic:''' an online forum aimed at young PRA Tajara living abroad. Outside of discussing mundane subjects and media, PRATopic has a large political section dedicated to the spread and the defense of the Hadiist ideal. The forum produces propaganda, political theory, and general virtual content to indoctrinate the younger generations. The website is infamous for its very strict moderation.

= Regions =
[[File:Internaldivisions-pra.png|300px|thumb|A map of the People's Republic's regions.]]
== Nraz'i Basin ==

Protected by the eponymous mountain range, the Nrazi'i Basin is the home of the Hadii Dynasty. Rebuilt in the image of a perfect Al'mariist society after the First Revolution, the Basin is a land of planned cities, rocket launch sites, and strict order. The region concentrates the majority of the PRA's technology industry and laboratories. Its inhabitants are considered to be the devout Hadiists; years of indoctrination and propaganda succeeded in creating a loyal population. Due to its status as the jewel of the nation, the People's Republic is willing to do anything it takes to stop its enemies from ever touching the Nrazi'i Basin.

== Ras'nrr Heartlands ==

The Ras'nrr Heartlands, also known as Adhomai's breadbasket, is home to the thousands of communal farms responsible for the majority of the agricultural production in the People's Republic. Lying in the shadows of the Nraz'i mountain range, the Heartlands is an idyllic paradise amidst the ever-growing urbanization. Since the end of the First Revolution, Central Ras'nrr maintains its rural tradition without forfeiting modernity; tractors, complex irrigation systems, and chemical fertilizers are widely diffused. Because of its large forest, the northern areas of the Heartlands have a thriving logging business. Its population has the fame of being rustic, but politically active, Hadiists. The communal farms are one of the few forces in the People's Republic able to negotiate with the Party on near equal grounds, especially as the shortages of phoron and food make their production all the more necessary.

== East Ras'nrr ==

East Ras'nrr is the most populous and wealthy area of the People's Republic. Boasting a well-developed infrastructure and industry, the region plays an important role in supplying the rest of the continent; all kinds of goods quickly flow through its rails and roads after leaving the assembling lines. Thanks to the capital of Nal'tor, East Ras'nrr has plenty of contact with the overall galactic community. Alien products and media - as long they have been approved by the Party - are available to the inhabitants of the region who can afford them. Despite this cosmopolitan nature, the Holy City of Sana Sahira stands in the south as a reminder of the Tajaran traditions.

== Rhazar Mountains ==

The Rhazar Mountains and its surrounding areas are famous for their abundant mineral riches. Entire towns and villages are dedicated to mining. Tons of ores are brought to the local foundries before being carried to be processed by the factories in East Ras'nrr. Because of its vast deposits of rare-earth elements, the Rhazar Mountains are essential to maintain the ongoing Hadiist's technological development. Communal farms are also found on the prairies east of the mountain range.

= Major Cities =

*'''Nal'tor:''' the capital of the People’s Republic. It is the most populated city in Adhomai, being the cultural, financial, and political center of the country. Nal'tor is considered modern and industrialized by Adhomian standards; it is the place where a Tajara can have the most contact with aliens and new off-worlder technologies. Despite the relatively low crime rates, its inhabitants are under constant surveillance by the police and the intelligence agency. It is home to the largest shuttle port on the planet. Attractions include the very active nightlife, Tajaran Electro-Swing clubs, and museums. The city is known for being the site of the now-destroyed Steeple, which is currently being replaced by the Palace of the Free Tajara. This building will be the tallest freestanding structure in Adhomai when completed. Having been built for the future, it currently has the largest housing surplus making it a common destination for those seeking a new home. The [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Nal'tor College of Career Excellence|Nal'tor College of Career Excellence]] is among one of its most famous academies.

*'''Tampiska:''' an industrial hub focused on the production of heavy machinery and automobiles. The city suffered greatly in the second revolution, being the stage of intense urban warfare between the Republican Army and the Adhomai Liberation Army. The Armistice has allowed Tampiska to recover, giving it the chance to return to its old productive days. The city contains vital roads and railways linking Nal’tor to the rest of Ras'nrr, making it a major strategic point. Main attractions include memorials related to the Tajaran civil wars and its many train stations. With many NanoTrasen factories cutting staff and shutting down, Tampiska suffers the highest unemployment rate in the Republic. However, it boasts the strongest construction industry as mass state-funded construction projects expand existing Hadiist industrial complexes.

*'''B'urr:''' an important harbor town on the coast of southern Ras'nrr. The city was once captured by the Adhomai Liberation Army during the Second Civil War. Famous for its busy ports, where most of the coastal trade flows before being distributed through railroads. The settlement also has high crime rates, with shady figures wandering between its warehouses and docks at night. The main Republican submarine base can be found in B’urr. The city is home to marinas and historic lighthouses.

*'''Mal'jor:''' a city built on the principal chokepoint dividing Ras'nrr. It is heavily defended by several military bases. The settlement was occupied by the rebel forces for most of the war until it was liberated in the final year of the conflict. A mining town exists close to the garrisons, with most of the population being employed in the prospecting business or the service sector. This has made it a fast growing city, as former factory workers find work in the mining sector. It suffers with an immense housing shortage as a result. The entrance to Adhomai’s longest cavern, the Kurguzov Cave, can be found south of the city. Its tunnels spread further into the Rhazar mountains, with various areas still being left unexplored.

*'''Orul:''' a city located around the fertile lands of northern Ras'nrr. It remained under the control of Hadiist forces for the entirety of the war, avoiding any kind of destruction. Previously underpopulated, it has grown rapidly with urbanites seeking employment in the surrounding farms that visit the city. Foodstuff is brought from these farms to Orul, where most of it is shipped to the rest of the Republic. This has led to it becoming a major black market location. The city lacks the presence of any industry, but has been slowly urbanizing; much to the chagrin of locals and tourists who once considered it an idyllic escape from the hectic metropolitan life. Azubarre is the patron god of Orul.

*'''Zatushka:''' a city located close to the vast forest of northern Ras'nrr. It is renowned for its logging and woodworking tradition. Due to the supply of high-quality wood, numerous artisans and industries have taken up residence in Zatushka. Furniture made here is known to be of high quality and is prized everywhere in Adhomai. The city was controlled by the Liberation Army for most of the civil war, resulting in heavy devastation during its capture in the last moments of the conflict. This continues to haunt the city, leading to overcrowding as the logging industry grows from urban emigration. Dhrarmela is the patron god of Zatushka.

*'''Nazira:''' one of the oldest Tajaran settlements, resting on the shadow of Adhomai’s tallest mountain. Nazira is on the doorstep of Sana Sahira, serving as a stop-off point for pilgrims and priests. Several inns, hotels, and restaurants exist to serve the constant influx of travelers. Shops selling religious objects, such as icons and amulets, also play a big role in the local economy. The city is home to the oldest surviving S'rand'marr temple in Adhomai, the Temple of the Holy Blessed Suns, with its main structures and reliquary dating back to the Immigration Period.
[[File:Pranuclearplant.jpg|300px|thumb|A nuclear plant in the city of Al'mari.]]
*'''Al'mari:''' the ancestral land of the Hadii dynasty. It holds an important cultural significance for the People's Republic as the cradle of Hadiism. The city houses various museums dedicated to the first revolution and monuments praising the achievements of the PRA and its heroes. The town underwent reconstruction after the first civil war; it was rebuilt following the principles of Republican architecture and meticulous urban planning. Al'mari is the national center of technological development, supported by [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/3/#findComment-144507 high-tech industries], state-run laboratories, and the presence of the space program. The [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Hadii Institute of Orbital Research|Hadii Institute of Orbital Research]] and [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Al'mari College of Hadiist Sciences|Al'mari College of Hadiist Sciences]] are among the city's most prestigious learning institutions.

*'''Fort Hadii:''' a town that can be better described as a massive military complex. Originally a fortress meant to protect the Hadii's lands, it evolved into a robust system of bases, defenses, and garrisons along the northwest section of the Nraz'i mountains. Its military academies prepare aspiring officers to lead, while its training camps prepare conscripts for the realities of war. PSIS agents are supposedly indoctrinated in some hidden compound in Fort Hadii. The civilian population is composed of the family members of the personnel stationed on the base and of those working to supply and offer services to the military presence.

*'''Castle Vladis:''' once the site of an abandoned fortress, the island of Vladis was chosen to be the site of the PRA’s first maximum-security prison: the Try'urma Penitentiary. Due to its isolated position and turbulent waters; the institution has the fame of being inescapable. Common criminals, dissidents, and political prisoners are sent to Try'urma; those who are sentenced to it are rarely seen again. A military base and a small settlement are also present. The inhabitants of the town are the few civilians that are employed in the operations necessary for the maintenance of the government facilities.

*'''Chaniska:''' the last bastion of the People’s Republic in Amohda and a naval base on the southern region of the island. During the war, the vast majority of the native population fled to escape PRA control, leaving the city abandoned. The Republican Army was able to halt any armies encroaching on the city. Now, the PRA promotes [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/?do=findComment&comment=147249 resettlement] of the area through a program to entice citizens displaced by the citizenship act to settle in Chaniska. The city is gradually being refilled, and the fishing and shipwright industry is expected to make a massive comeback as migration steadily increases. The area was the site of a tense military stand-off between the PRA and DPRA in 2463. While the DPRA eventually stood down, the rival armies of the two nations continue to glare at each other from their border fortifications.

*'''Klipavayr:''' a mining town in the Rhazar Mountains. It is home to the largest military underground hangar in Adhomai: the Klipavayr airbase. Built into the side of the mountains, the base houses autogyro squadrons and their pilots. Bauxite extraction and aluminum production are staples of the local economy. Klavpavayr is also famous for the Sham-Rhazar, an interwar period resort built atop the summit of one of the nearby peaks. The building is exclusively used by Party members for social and political meetings.

= Architecture =

Hadiist architecture is divided into two notable styles: Interwar Art and Hadiist Classicism.

Interwar Art, also known as Tajaran Futurism, emerged shortly after the First Revolution. This style was marked by the futuristic and hopeful spirit of the young Republic. Its main theme is the admiration for modernity and technology. Its major characteristics are smooth lines, geometric shapes, streamlined forms, and bright colors. While the first Republican buildings were built in this style, Interwar Art fell out of favor after the ascension of President Njadrasanukii Hadii. However, this style is still widely appreciated by the Tajaran community in Biesel.

Developed by architects closely linked to the Party, Hadiist Classicism is an architectural style that emerged during the reconstruction of the city of Al'mari. It is characterized by large buildings, rigid geometrical figures, small windows, solid concrete structures, and a monochrome palette. Its buildings prioritize function over form - the only suitable decoration are propaganda pieces exalting Hadiism. Hadiist Classicism is currently the most popular architectural style in the People's Republic of Adhomai.

== Notable Monuments ==

*'''Palace of the Free Tajara:''' planned after the destruction of the Steeple during the Second Civil War, the Palace of the Free Tajara is the current seat of government of the People's Republic. The Palace is the tallest freestanding structure in Adhomai, with a height surpassing 900 meters. Inaugurated in 2464, it was built with the help of megacorporations. Its main structure is heavily reinforced and a subterranean complex makes sure that the government will continue to work even if the Palace is seriously threatened. The building is overseen by Aparhatchyk, the Artificial Intelligence used in economic analysis; its software was updated and expanded to accommodate its new function by the Institute of Orbital Research. The Republican Guard is responsible for the security of the Palace. The building is also home to a museum dedicated to the history and feats of Hadiism.

*'''Monument to the Fallen Revolutionaries:''' a war memorial and statue dedicated to the First Revolution's revolutionaries located in Tampiska. Inaugurated shortly after the end of the war, the monument depicts a rebel with a rifle staring towards Nal'tor. A large stone tablet at the building base dedicates the memorial to the rebels who fought and died to liberate the city from the nobility. Because of its importance to the Hadiist and Al'mariist causes, the monument was spared from the Second Revolution's destruction. Controlling the statue during the conflict was a matter of national pride; several soldiers died to capture and recapture the memorial.

*'''Temple of the Holy Blessed Suns:''' situated in the city of Nazira, the Temple of the Holy Blessed Suns is the oldest known S'rand'marr temple. Built during the Immigration Age, the building is a large complex made up of several chambers, shrines, libraries, and churches. Thanks to its religious significance, it was spared by combatants during both civil wars. Proposals by the Hadiist Party to turn the temple into a museum proved to be unpopular with the public. Thanks to the effort to digitalize the church's archives, the Temple has public computers with access to its sacred texts.

= Government and Ideology =

The People’s Republic of Adhomai is considered a presidential republic with a single-party system. The leadership and organization are extremely centralized, with all branches of the government and administration answering to the parliament and the president, Njadrasanukii Hadii. The president serves a twelve-year term while also having ample powers, such as being able to issue mandates or dissolve the parliament in cases of emergency. The Party of the Free Tajara, also known as the '''Parizahra Zhahrazjujz Tajara Akzatauzjauna''', is the only and ruling party in the PRA, with its leader always being the elected president. They follow Hadiism as their main ideology, with the objective of securing the Tajaran freedom and place in the galactic community.

Membership of the Hadiist Party is not open. For anyone to become a member, they must be approved by a committee that considers their qualifications and past. Government officials can grant honorary memberships, this is seen as nothing but an honor and does not grant any status or position that a regular Party member would have. Full members of the Party always work in government positions.

== Hadiism ==

Hadiism is an ideology characterized by strong centralized leadership, a one-party system, a rejection of the traditional Tajaran caste system, and the enforcement of a monolithic culture to replace regional identities. Its origins can be traced back to the First Revolution, but its current form was defined by Malik Hadii’s rise to power. Hadiism is extremely authoritarian and concentrates a large amount of power in the hands of the Party and its leaders. The cult of personality of the president is another key element to it; the supreme leader is the unquestionable guide for the entire nation.

The caste system is seen as one of the main obstacles to the future of the Tajara people. It is considered an issue so ingrained in the Tajaran society, that it requires state intervention to solve. The Hadiist solution to this problem is the creation of an artificial unifying culture whose goal is the elimination of any kind of division between the population. This new ideal puts great emphasis on the collective over the individual and undying loyalty to the Party. The new Hadiist Tajara is eager to sacrifice himself for the good of their nation and would never question the decision of his superiors. The desire to break with the burdens of the past extends to the religion to the more radical Hadiists; renouncing one’s belief in the Gods is necessary to recognize that no higher power than the Party exists. While incompatible with the Hadiist ideals, racism is still widespread and is a great hurdle in the process of eradicating the heritage of the caste system.

Hadiism is open to diplomacy with alien powers and is welcoming of megacorporations. In its vision, the Tajara should cultivate a prosperous and friendly relationship with the other species. However, Xeno cultural influence should be closely watched for it might clash with the Hadiist Culture.

=== Schools of Thought ===

*'''Orthodox Hadiism:''' the mainstream form of Hadiism, followed by the majority of the Party. Orthodox Hadiism follows closely the principles of the ideology without deviation. It is resistant to change and seeks to maintain the Party's rule over the Nation at all costs. Its main inspiration comes from the actions and doctrines established by President Hadii; Malik's cult of personality is found in its strongest form here.

*'''Totalist Hadiism:''' even with the ever-present secret police, strict censorship, and other measures to suppress political dissent, some Hadiists believe that the Party should exercise greater control of the society. Totalist Hadiism proposes the total planning and organization of the lives of its citizens according to the needs of the State. The concepts of independence, self-realization, individualism, and personal desires must be forgotten for the sake of the nation; a Tajara's sole purpose is to dedicate themselves to the Hadiist state. This ideal condition can only be reached through the implementation of a non-stop overview and invasive vigilance. [[Notable Tajara#Headmaster Harrrdanim Tyr'adrr|Headmaster Harrrdanim Tyr'adrr]] is the main proponent of this ideology. It finds great support among the ranks of the People's Strategic Intelligence Service. It is the smallest of the schools of thought.

*'''Visionary Hadiism:''' originated from the growing scientific community in the People’s Republic, Visionary Hadiism believes that rapid and radical technological progress is needed for the Hadiist society to reach its goals. The flaws of the Tajaran people can be corrected with the help of revolutionary technologies; science must be used to permanently transform the Tajaran condition. No price is too great during the march of progress, neither nature nor Tajaran lives should stand on the path to greatness. Safe and ethical research is seen as a pointless constraint. Accelerated industrialization of all sectors is dictated as necessary to guarantee the survival of Hadiism against its enemy. Visionary Hadiism advocates for the expansion of the space navy and the establishment of more colonies. Under their vision, the Tajara are destined to populate and conquer the cosmos. The introduction of widespread augmentation is also among its policies; cybernetics implants would erase the concept of disability and inequality from the face of Adhomai. While it advocates for the use of any technology to propel the Tajaran people forward, in the face of the growing scarcity focus has shifted to the rapid expansion of Tesla research. [[Notable Tajara#Minister of Technology Zhuldyz Hadii|Minister of Technology Zhuldyz Hadii]] is the main proponent of this ideology. It finds great support among PRA’s researchers and the orbital fleet command. Visionary Hadiism is the third largest school of thought.

*'''Young Hadiism:''' made up of students and intellectuals, the Young Hadiists are the reformist faction. Despite being unable to directly oppose the Party due to the threat of a political purge, they plan to change the system through gradual reforms. Young Hadiism preaches that authoritarian measures were only temporarily needed to secure the existence and security of the People’s Republic. The Tajara deserve more political rights and freedom; the Party should be the people's protector, not their jailor. Young Hadiists are one of the few to raise concerns about Adhomai's nature being threatened by industrialization. Young Hadiists believe that changes should be cautiously implemented to avoid upsetting society and the government. Ultimately, the Young Hadiists plan to slowly transform the People's Republic into a proper Hadiist democracy. [[Notable Tajara#Minister of Education Kalim Khazdar|Minister of Education Kalim Khazdar]] is the main proponent of this ideology. While originally the second smallest school of thought, as the Hadiist education system has expanded, Young Hadiism has grown to become the second largest school of thought behind Orthodox Hadiism.

== People's Strategic Intelligence Service ==

The People's Strategic Intelligence Service is the main intelligence agency of the People's Republic. In the wake of the revolution that had won the species their independence, the budding government recognized the need for covert operations. Teachers from Sol's [[Solarian Security and Law#The Solarian Interstellar Intelligence Bureau|SIIB]] and equipment were employed to train their agents, which then embedded themselves across Adhomai in anti-government groups, media moguls, law enforcement agencies, and other levels of society to ensure that order was kept and no subversive elements could undermine the new, weak government. Since then, their reliance on humanity has grown weak, and the agency has established itself as a respected and feared intelligence service.

Several agents and informants are employed by the PSIS, both in domestic and foreign theaters. The agency makes use of espionage, sabotage, assassination, interrogation, blackmail, and all other sort of subterfuge, during their operations. Subversive elements within the People's Republican are dealt with quickly, usually through night raids and abductions conducted with the aid of black unmarked cars. Tajara residing in other systems are not truly safe from the Intelligence Service, as they are known to deploy their agents against off-world targets. Hadiist spies, enforces and collaborators are present in [[Mendell City|Mendell City's district six]], carrying out orders or watching their fellow Tajara.

During the Second Revolution, the People's Strategic Intelligence Service was deployed in occupied territory to persecute anyone who was offering resistance or was suspected of doing so. Tens of thousands were killed or imprisoned by the secret police. Families of suspected guerilla fighters and dissidents were held hostage to force the suspects to surrender or come out of hiding. The [[Tajaran Military Structures#Republican Army (People's Republic of Adhomai)|Grand People's Army]] frequently collaborated with their operations under the guise of anti-partisan actions. Many community leaders, family members, and politicians remain "disappeared" by the PSIS.

===Blade Dame Division===

Known only through document leaks, the Blade Dame Division is a group of heavily augmented assassins. Its members are picked from female orphanages and supposedly brainwashed to be totally loyal to the Hadiist Party. They are equipped with experimental augments that favor stealth operations, including retractable blades concealed in the forearms and fingertips; subdermal ballistic armor patches; concealed guns installed in the knees and wrist; and a fully internal tesla spine prototype. Due to the nature of the augmentations, they are indistinguishable from a non-augmented Tajara to the naked eye. Rumors claim that the Blade Dames are also operating in Tau Ceti.

== Law ==

The Hadiist justice system is heavily centralized and relies solely on written law. The code is biased toward protecting the Party’s rule and its position as the ultimate authority in the Republic. Courts are presided by judges chosen through Party appointment, with the presence of Hadiist model citizens selected as the jury when needed. Lawyers are always appointed by the state to work on cases; it is impossible for anyone to hire a professional of their choice. All advocates are required to work for the government in order to practice their profession.

Law enforcement in the People’s Republic is the responsibility of the National Police Department, an organization under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This agency is tasked with keeping the peace and investigating crimes. The Hadiist police force is the best equipped in Adhomai, but much of its efforts are hindered by the underlying corruption present in the government.

== International Relations ==
The international relations of the People's Republic is handled by the Ministry of External Affairs. Diplomatic missions are wide and varied, whether they are the many ambassadors and consulars found across the Spur, aid missions set to improve the image of the Republic, or meetings to secure new deals with the megacorporations and other nations. Consulars of the Ministry of External Affairs are recruited, trained, and managed by the People's Diplomatic Service. Protection is performed by the Parizahra Aasii branch of the National Police Department. Officers assigned to the Horizon may hold the rank of '''Nalket''', '''Rhazket''', or '''Sil'Dranalket'''.

*'''[[Republic of Biesel]]:''' among the Tajaran nations, the People’s Republic of Adhomai has the strongest diplomatic ties with the Republic of Biesel. Thanks to NanoTrasen influence and support of the Hadiist government during the Second Revolution, Tau Ceti is considered a close ally. Following the signing of the [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/6/#findComment-165950 Mendell Protocol], these ties have only strengthened with the defensive pact. The Orbital Fleet sent an expeditionary force to aid Tau Ceti during the Solarian invasion of 2462.

*'''[[Sol Alliance]]:''' once an ally and direct supporter of the People’s Republic, relations between both states quickly deteriorated after a space skirmish in 2461. Despite the diplomatic reopening following the lifting of the Second Tajara Ban, the events before the Solarian collapse forced the PRA to finally cut all ties with Sol. There is no reconciliation on sight as the People’s Republic continues to supposedly fund the Tajara Revolutionary Army in the Wildlands and Sol continues to uphold the Third Tajara Ban

*'''[[Nralakk Federation]]:''' as part of the S'rand'marr Coalition, the Nralakk Federation dispatched peacekeepers and humanitarian aid to the People's Republic during the conflict. Despite initially recognizing all Tajaran factions due to the Armistice, the Federation now only recognizes the People's Republic as the rightful Adhomian faction. The collaboration between the governments is usually done through the joint development of technologies and information exchanges. The Federation currently sees the PRA as the best choice for Adhomian stability.

== Flag ==

The People's Republic Flag is based on the Hadii dynasty standard used during the First Revolution. The flag uses the colors of the revolutionary movements, with red representing the sacrifices made during the civil war, black the equality among all Tajara, and gold the natural riches of Adhomai. The flag has a Twin Suns Icon on the center symbolizing the People's Republic's rule over all Adhomai.

= Military Forces =

The People's Republic Military is composed of the [[Tajaran Military Structures#Republican Army (People's Republic of Adhomai)|Grand People's Army]], the [[Tajaran Military Structures#Republican Navy (People's Republic of Adhomai)|Republican Navy]], the [[Tajaran Military Structures#People's Air Force (People's Republic of Adhomai)|People's Air Force]] and the [[PRA Orbital Fleet Structure|Orbital Fleet]]. The Grand People’s Army is the ground army of the PRA; it is formed by large divisions of mechanized infantry, armored platoons, and artillery teams. While being equipped with the best that the Adhomian industry can provide, the Republican army suffered from low morale and a lack of properly trained officers in the Second Revolution. A draft was instated from 2458 to 2464, replacing the volunteer model army following high casualty rates, requiring all Tajara between 18-30 to enlist, unless they were able to pay a fee, prove that they are a member of the party or that they are employed under the NanoTrasen Corporation. With the signing of the Armistice, the Republican Military has gone through an extensive reform period with the lessons learned from their failures in the war.

The Republican Orbital Fleet is the pride of the People’s Republic military, as it is the strongest space navy among the warring factions of Adhomai. While used to defend the system and used to impose a blockade against the other factions, the Fleet was able to extract a costly victory in a skirmish against Solarian forces in S'rand’marr.

== 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
* Executive Officer
* Research Director
* Chief Engineer
* Operations Manager
* Consular Officer
* Corporate Liason

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

Zhan-Khazan can be the following Heads of Staff:
* Operations Manager
* Chief Engineer
* Biesellite Consular Officer

* 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 can extend their vision while standing still. This is possible by using a verb in-game.
* Tajara have superior hearing, allowing them to listen intently. This provides messages on nearby machinery, explosions, and allows Tajara to hear whispered messages from further away. This is possible using a verb in-game.
* 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 ==
[[File:Tajara_Child.png|thumb|A Tajaran mother with her child.]]
Tajara are an omnivorous bipedal humanoid species. While on a surface level Tajara appear to be humanoid felines, scientifically and practically Tajara share little in common with Earth’s felines beyond certain visual elements. Tajaran bodies are strongly adapted for the Adhomian environment, an arctic and turbulent planet. Evolved to survive the harsh weather, temperatures, and hostile fauna, Tajara are well adapted to cold-weather environments, speed, and perception.

===Fur and Mane===
Tajara are covered in a layer of thick fur that provides insulation from the cold, protection from diseases, and weather solar radiation. The only regions left without fur are the pads of the hands and feet, alongside the eyes and various orifices. This fur performs extremely well at insulating against the cold and shedding snow or water. However, Tajaran fur is vulnerable to degradation caused by chemical or physical means. To counter this, damaged fur ‘sheds’ off to allow a healthy follicle to replace it. Otherwise, Tajara do not shed on a regular basis. Tajaran fur has a predetermined length at which it will not grow further, with exception to manes.

Manes are made of a unique strain of Tajaran fur that is stronger and wirier than the rest of a Tajara’s fur. Manes do not stop growth, instead they continually grow unless prevented by chemical means. The growth pattern of a mane can vary from Tajara to Tajara. It is not uncommon for manes to grow around the entire head, not unlike Earth's lion manes. Male Tajara additionally grow what amounts to beards and mustaches along the muzzle. Manes are a complex biological component for Tajara. They assist in heat regulation and insulate the ears when they are folded back into the head. The follicles assist the body in healing wounds as well as boosting the Tajaran immune system.

===Body Fat===

Body fat is stored in two ways: The fat reservoir and the fat layer. The fat reservoir is a non-essential organ within the lower body. It stores excess fats that may be used for energy, heat, or to replace lost fat in the fat layer. While the reservoir is non-essential, the loss of the reservoir can cause numerous complications. Those lacking a reservoir starve faster, lacking an essential store of energy when there is a lack of food. The reservoir’s fat also partially fuels Tajaran heat generation, meaning those without a reservoir are typically colder. The fat layer is an essential insulating layer beneath the fur. It acts as equal parts temperature insulation and physical protection, using the layer to dampen blunt trauma.

===Environmental Adaptations===

Tajaran adaptations to extremely low-temperature environments have the tendency to cause overheating issues in more mild environments. The primary methods by which Tajara expel heat are the pads of the hands and feet, as well as the ears and breath. It is common for Tajara to shorten the fur around the ears to increase heat dissipation. Typically, Tajara will attempt to cool their skin or lower their internal temperature as the insulation of the fur and fat layer also assists in keeping the cold in.

Tajara are built to favor efficient use of energy as opposed to raw strength. Tajaran muscles are lean, built for sustained use over long periods time rather than bursts of power. This is exemplified by the Tajaran gait. Specialized for movement through snow, Tajaran biology favors a consistent speed capable of trudging through snow efficiently as opposed to sprinting. Outside of snowy environments, the lack of resistance correlates to a faster walk speed. However, this does not mean Tajara are not capable of great feats of strength. Training and practice can produce strength competitive with human athletes, albeit with more effort required as the muscles produced are built for endurance and not raw power.

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 have large pupils, capable of contracting significantly faster than other creatures, sapient or otherwise. The Tajaran eye has uniquely evolved to physically alter its structure to achieve different functions. The eyes may focus the lens and physically contract the rear of the eye to increase the density of rods, allowing for extreme low-light vision, albeit colorless vision and at great risk of bright lights harming the eye and causing pain. A similar process can be performed to focus a Tajara’s vision at a far target. The eye contracts in a different manner to focus at great lengths, effectively extending one’s vision. While a Tajara can attempt to use low-light and far-vision at the same time, it often results in diminished low-light vision at distance, and can be painful when performed for long periods of time. To protect the eye from snow blindness and keep the eye moist against wind, Tajaran eyes have nictitating membranes.

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. Tajaran ears, similarly to Tajaran eyes, are capable of contorting their physical structure to achieve different goals. The ears can shift to amplify quieter noises, at risk of damage and pain should a loud noise be made close to the ear. Tajaran ears are often warmer than the rest of the body as they are the primary method of heat dissipation.

Tajara possess a pair of digitigrade legs and otherwise humanoid arms. Each hand has 5 digits, each with a 1-2 cm claw. These claws are non-retractable and particularly sharp. These claws can be filed down if more dexterity is needed, however this is done with great care and caution as cutting claws too short can be incredibly incredibly painful and will expose nerves to the air. Tajaran feet carry 4 roughly equal-sized digits. These digits also have claws, however they are more blunted and hooked compared to their hand-based counterparts to assist in grip and stability on rocky or snowy surfaces.

Tajaran tails are long, semi-prehensile extremities that, while appearing not particularly useful, are vital. The place of the tail takes on a biological and societal role. Biologically, the tail is necessary for balance and environmental awareness. While Tajara may be bipedal, much of their flexibility and maneuverability is owed to the tail providing superior balance and stability. The tail has higher bundles of sensory nerves that assist in environmental awareness, notable vibrations. Societally, tails are a fundamental part of Tajaran body language and communication. Most languages require tails, either for communicating the language itself or to inflect meaning and tone into sentences. It also provides a visible display of body language.

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. However, these molars remain sharper than human molars to pierce the tough skins of Adhomian produce. Evolutionary biologists believe that predecessors to modern Tajara had rough tongues with few taste buds to facilitate eating raw meat. The contemporary species 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.

===Tajaran Build an Lifecycle===

Tajara are sexually dimorphic, however the differences are rarely notable. Males are typically taller, have broader shoulders, more pointed ears, and larger hands and feet. Females have elongated muzzles, shorter ears, and an additional set of molars. Mothers do not exhibit visible breasts until pregnancy, at which point they swell in order to provide for the young. These breasts contract around three months after birth when the young transition to normal food.
[[File:Cats.png|400px|thumb|right|An artist sketch of Tajaran dimorphism, builds, and general stance.]]
Tajaran height and weight are primarily dependent on ethnicity. However, upbringing and access to food often dictates height, with less access resulting in shorter Tajara. Heights and weights often vary. Tajara shorter or taller than the range typical for their ethnicity often face medical issues as a result.

'''M’sai:''' 160 cm to 170 cm. 80.1 kg to 90.4 kg.<br>
'''Hharar:''' 150 cm to 160 cm. 68.2 kg to 77.6 kg.<br>
'''Njarir:''' 165 cm to 175 cm. 82.5 kg to 92.8 kg.<br>
'''Zhan:''' 170 cm to 190 cm. 82.9 kg to 103.6 kg.<br>

The Tajaran lifecycle is more rapid relative to other species. A Tajaran fetus only takes 6 months to mature, with Tajaran children reaching the full extent of their physical growth by 15 or 16. Modern medicine sees most Tajara now live beyond 70 years with the oldest Tajara reaching nearly 100. However, ages beyond 80 often require intensive and expensive medical technologies. Most Tajara retire at 60 when the body becomes too aged to work.

The sleep cycle of the Tajaran species is one of their most scientifically curious features. A normal waking period is somewhere between 36 and 58 hours, with a subsequent 20 to 28 hours of sleep. Normally, the waking period is spotted with 3 to 4 15-minute naps to keep the Tajara refreshed and alert. This is universal in all worlds with Tajara 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 who do not enter the sleep cycle properly, or attempt to break it in order to conform to a human sleep cycle, may find themselves groggy, aggressive, paranoid, and disoriented until their circadian rhythm is righted.

===Ethnicities===
''For information about the ethnicities, their traits, and their cultures: see [[Tajaran 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 that they play in a society to which their biological inclinations make them more suited, 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', further reinforced by their larger presence in cities. Given their status as the ‘face’ of Tajara, Hharar have grown to take over many diplomatic and public-facing jobs following the establishment of the People’s Republic of Adhomai. Hharar societally are the artisans and tradies, typically focusing on more skilled trades. Being the original urbanites, Hharar culture is what has been exported as ‘Tajaran culture’ across the Spur. They are the creators of the [[S’rendarr and Messa|Twin Suns worship]].

'''Zhan-Khazan:''' considered to be the backbone of Tajaran society. 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 body weight, they are well-suited to tasks requiring brute strength and heavy lifting. Zhan-Khazan fill the societal role of the laborer. They are the workers and managers of mines, farms, construction sites, etc. Being the dominant race in the restaurants and inns, much of Tajaran food culture comes from the Zhan-Khazan, as well as the religion of the [[Ma’ta’ke Gods]].

'''M'sai:''' 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 a vision adapted to compensate 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 First Revolution. 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 leadership roles, the arts, and the sciences.

=== Coloration ===
Fur color is the most noticeable aspect of a Tajara. It acts as a natural camouflage and is the most visible difference between the ethnicities. Ancient history saw these fur colors appear in certain regions of Adhomai, however over millennia of migration, marriage, and modern travel, every coloration of fur can be seen across Adhomai and now the Spur.

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.

'''These fur colors are suggestions and guidelines. Any one Tajara could have a variation of the colors shown, whether it be lighter or darker.'''

====Hharar:====
Hharar fur coloration traces back to the proto-Hharar peoples of Southern Ras'nrr. The forests between the Rhazar and Khazan mountains alongside the fertile soil allowed for the invention of farming, and later the formation of Adhomai’s first civilizations. The Hharar people evolved to feature brown fur colorations due to the numerous woods they lived in.

| '''Prairie Brown'''
Being the most common coloration of Hharar fur, Prairie Brown was once associated with the numerous Hharar working the fields across Ras’nrr. Despite this association, it is not considered the oldest fur coloration, instead being a variation that occured in those living among the fields of the warmer prairies of the Ras’nrr Heartlands.
| '''Azumah Wood'''
This fur color dates far older than the name it is associated with. Once referred to as simply “Summer Brown”, the name Azumah Wood became widespread following the massive success of a logging company in the Azumah lake region during the Steeple Peace. The wood products were advertised and sold with the image of a kochiba furred logger chopping down “Azumah grade” trees. The logging company has since then gone defunct, being known only as the source of a strange origin for the term.
| '''Harbor Brown'''
Harbor Brown carries the title of being the oldest known fur coloration among Hharar, having been the predominant coloration amongst the proto-Hharar of the Southern Ras’nrr region. However, in modern times it has been titled after the numerous harbor workers found across Adhomai, even if they no longer are a majority of sailors.

====Zhan-Khazan:====
Zhan fur colorations are the result of a long history of mountain tribes. Even during winter seasons, the darker fur colorations permitted better camouflage with the rocky terrain of the Ras’nrr mountains.

| '''Rhazar Fog'''
During Sil’nryy-aysaif, the foot of the Rhazar mountains are commonly blanketed in a thick fog. The rare blue coloration of this fog became closely associated with the local Zhan population who shared a similar fur color with that of the mountain rock. Regardless, the fur coloration took on the name of the far more popular fog than the relatively mundane mountain rock.
| '''Khazan Rock Grey'''
The proto-Zhan-Khazan people were infamously put down during the Incarnate Dominion. The majority featured a dark-grey fur that became synonymous with the Zhan tribes of the Khazan mountains that the ethnicity, and fur, are now named after.
| '''Nraz’i Mud'''
Of the Zhan tribes, those in the Nraz’i mountains enjoyed the warmest winters. The hinterlands of the Sum’add coast become a muddy mess when the snow melt of the Nraz’i mountains washes onto the thawed soil. The fur color common of the region’s Zhan tribes became associated with the mud, then taking the name it has now.
| '''Cavern Black'''
Caves formed a natural home for the first Zhan’khazan to settle within. These served as strong homes and fortresses alike for the ancient peoples. It is not believed that these conditions resulted in the dark coloration being prevalent among the Zhan, despite old tales claiming such. This uncommon coloration originated from the southern Rhazkjara mountains.

====Njarir'Akhran:====
Njarir fur colorations are the results of the extensive eugenics programs employed by the Adhomian nobilities. Through decades of careful merging of M’sai and Hharar bloodlines, along with high amounts of inbreeding, Njarir now feature the flashiest fur colors among Tajara. Despite the inherent nature of genetics, reputations for different fur colorations have taken root among noble circles even following the revolutions.

| '''Steeple Light'''
Seen as the ultimate fur coloration produced by the infamous eugenics programs, Steeple Light gained its name after a Rasn’rr emperor of the early Steeple Peace declared his fur, a bright orange, to be the manifestation of S’rendarr’s light. Some esoteric circles in the New Kingdom have adopted this belief upon its rediscovery. While the emperor’s name was lost to the books burned in the First Revolution, his declaration remains as the name of this fur coloration. It is a highly sought after coloration among nobles.
| '''Hadii Red'''
Once a mundane coloration, Hadii Red has become an intimidating presence following the rise of the Hadii Dynasty. The vast majority of the family has some variation of this fur, with many rumors claiming they place great effort and care that the coloration is maintained in their offspring. It is an uncommon joke for Njarir who have this fur to say that they’re secretly a Hadii.
| '''Ras’val Royal'''
Many of the noble families who came to rule the regions surrounding the Ras’val sea featured the ruddy coloration of what is now known as Ras’val Royal. While previously considered the coloration of middling nobles, the rise of the Azunja family to the head of the New Kingdom has led to the coloration being perceived as the height of royalty.
| '''Half-Knuckle White'''
This fur color was common among lower nobility across Adhomai during the Steeple peace. The term Half-Knuckle White was coined as a slur against those nobles who were seen as fraternizing too much with their enforcers resulting in a “washed out” fur color. Genetic research shows that these claims had little backing, but this has yet to make an effect on the thoroughly cemented name.

====M'sai:====
M’sai fur is the result of the behaviors of proto-M’sai. Having been a nomadic people of the open prairies in Ras’nrr, the light fur color was often the only way Tajaran hunters were capable of hiding or blending into the environment.

|-
| '''Zarragh Washoff'''
Considered the most recent evolution of fur color, Zarragh Washoff garnered its name in the Zarr’jirah mountains. The lake-effect snow of the northern lake gained the name “washoff” due to how the new layers of snow would conceal rock and dirt chips on older snow, making the mountains easier to blend into.
| '''Field Snow'''
Field Snow is arguably the most common fur coloration amongst M’sai. Characteristic of the proto-M’sai hailing from the fields of the Nraz’i basin, upon the arrival of the nomadic tribes to Souther Ras'nrr the native proto-Hharar began to refer to their coloration as “Field Snow” after the coloration of fresh snow on the Ras’nrr prairies.
| '''Fatshouter White'''
Named after the coloration of fatshouter milk before processing, this coloration has dubious origins. Written history on much of the proto-m’sai peoples were sparse, however prevailing research suggests Fatshouter white primarily comes from those M’sai nomads from the inner western coast of the Nraz’i basin.
| '''Enforcer Silver'''
Being the second most common fur coloration of the M’sai people, Enforcer Silver garnered its name through association with the dreaded noble enforcers of history. The name was reinforced in older times when many noble families began to stamp enforcer insignias in silver, which often came close to the fur color of many M’sai who wore them.

==History==
''See also: [[Tajaran 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 the 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 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 their lower influence on the other nobility. It was during 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 the 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 labor 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 nobles 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 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. Older Tajara considered these large creations 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. Legislations were 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, and 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 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 to 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 the First Revolution, the Hadii emerged as the victorious faction. They had annexed, through diplomacy or war, the remaining factions. Human corporations took an express interest in the Hadii dynasty; they were one of the few noble families who saw profit in human stakes on Adhomai, and many back-room deals were made to secure the Hadii's position in the new Government. In '''2432 CE''', the People's Republic of Adhomai was officially declared, with '''Al'mari Hadii''', also known as Rhagrrhuzau Hadii, as its leader. The Tajaran public was markedly distressed by this turn of 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, had a monopoly over the majority of the planet's valuables. Collaboration between the People's Republic, the Sol Alliance, and the Nralakk Federation have resulted in more technological advances in Tajaran society recently than ever before in their recorded history. The People's Republic began campaigns to quickly industrialize Adhomai and educate its people. Approval ratings for the current leadership rose in response.

However, serious problems remained. '''Al'mari 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, Al'mari 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 among Adhomai's major power figures since Al'mari'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, Al'mari Hadii. In 2451 CE, during a military parade, President Al'mari was assassinated by Tufir Nazzirai. A known secret service agent of the People's Republic, the radical was swiftly sentenced to death for his betrayal, which claimed to be brought on by the violent tendencies of his Zhan-Khazan genetics. His brother and vice-president '''Njadrasanukii Hadii''', also known as Malik 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 Al'Mari Hadii. The single most defining moment of this generation of Tajara.]]

While Al'mari implemented his new policies, the People's Republic saw the return of a surviving dynasty, the Azunja, in the form of an uprising in its most remote region. This faction, the New Kingdom of Adhomai, attempted to bring back monarchism to Adhomai through a constitutional monarchy.

Many military generals who had fought for the Republic soon defected under the banner of the Adhomai Liberation Army, the leader of which being Al'mari's old friend and ally, '''Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan''', who claimed that he wanted to take control of the People's Republic to finally out Al'mari's legacy. "His gun was on stun" became the rallying cry of Nated's fiercest supporters 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.

With these two rebellions, Adhomai found itself embroiled in yet another global conflict.

===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 Nralakk. 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:Adhomaimodernmap.png|300px|thumb|A map of modern-day Adhomai.]]

===[[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 its 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 called 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 Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan]].

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; a 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.

===Names===
Native Tajaran names have changed over the storied history of the species. The earliest record of naming conventions appears in the Warring Kings era, where the usage of dynastic titles became a standard part of the Tajaran name as a way to distinguish which noble a given serf worked under. Since then, names changed as more titles were attached. Jobs, personality traits, status, titles, age, given names, and more have been combined to produce the infamously long and unwieldy names associated with history. Following the declaration of the Steeple Peace, nobles across Adhomai standardized to a new scheme which continues to persist among the Tajaran people.

Every name features three aspects: The individual, the dynasty, and the purpose. Xeno-linguists associate these aspects to the human concepts of the given name, the family name, and the job title respectively. This has resulted in debate over forced associations, as each aspect has a different connotation than what humans may expect, namely the Dynasty. Unlike humans, family names are only found with noble dynasties. This has led to many xeno organizations to assume that Tajara associate with large extended families.

The Individual aspect is the personal part of a Tajara’s name. Parents will provide their child with the Individual aspect in hopes that the phrase or word used will become a part of the Tajara's person. It is not uncommon for Tajara to bear the names of gods or powerful figures, or for others to be named after abstract, religious, or ideological concepts.
The Dynasty aspect is the standardized part of a Tajara’s name. Following the First Revolution, the Hadiist government mandated the Dynasty aspect be named after the birthplace of an individual as a means to remove the influences of the nobility. Those stubborn Tajara born before the end of the First Revolution, or those now living in the New Kingdom, often refused to change their Dynasty aspect, continuing to reflect the noble family they serve or are a part of.

The Purpose aspect previously was the utilitarian part of a Tajara’s name. The aspect reflected a job or trade, an essential piece of information within a community. However, since the end of the first revolution, the need for static names to lessen the bureaucratic burden resulted in many Purpose aspects turning into a form of family name, a newer and still contentious concept for Tajara. With the number of regional dialects and multiple titles for the same trade or job, Purpose aspects are rarely the same across Adhomai. In some cases, two families joining together in marriage would combine their two aspects to form a new one.

While a Tajara’s name contains all three aspects, the usage of all three is not required. Most Tajara will utilize the Individual and Purpose aspect, however traditionalists and nobility expect the use of the Dynasty aspect. All Tajara on the Horizon may use only '''two aspects'''.

**For example: Love becomes Azutul. S'rendarr's Warmth (Kirmah rajzir. Zir) becomes Kirmah’rajzir.
*For the Dynasty aspect, you may use any text you prefer. Regions and cities with royalty or dynasty attached usually garners better results. Hadiists typically utilize the name of the city or region they were born.
**For example: Kaltir Royalty (Jurlket mir mrra) becomes Jurlket’mir. Nal’tor (Jri chur) becomes Jri’chur
*For the Purpose aspect, use the title of the job or craft of the Tajara. Use multiple versions of a given job or trade for better results.
**For example: Police Officer (Kaii'r manq rir) becomes Kaii’rirmanq. Prince becomes Vahkal.
*The final name becomes: Azutul Jurlket’mir Kaii’rirmanq.
**From this, you can tell the individual is Azutul or named love, whose liege is the Jurlket’mir or Kaltir Royalty, and performs work as a Kaii’rirmanq or officer.

The translator output rarely gives a word or name ready for use. Modification will be required as seen in the examples provided. This also means that names cannot be decoded.

==== Xeno-Influenced Names ====

Given native tajaran names are difficult for humans to pronounce, the PRA once encouraged the use of humanized names. This resulted in many Tajara taking on names derived from Eastern European or Arabic origin, as xeno-linguists found these the easiest for Tajara to pronounce. Following the transition of power from Al’marii to President Hadii, the PRA has walked back on this stance and since issued a decree to encourage citizens retake their native names as a form of pride in tradition and loyalty to the party. Many Hadiists have heeded this decree and returned to their native names, however a sizable population continues to use their adopted names. Given Tajara may have multiple names, the Adhomian governments are more dedicated in the tracking of names.

===Language===
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 Tajaran languages such as Siik’Maas or Siik’tajr is not forbidden by SCC 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 the 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. 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.

Tajaran culture necessitates a separation of the personal self and the external self. This cultural force can be traced back to the early worship of the Twin Suns, which throughout its history has emphasized a separation of personal and public matters. This separation was later reinforced by the nobility, eventually becoming an embedded part of all Tajaran languages. The result is a grammatical structure that separates the private and public self. In Tau Ceti Basic, this has been translated into the use of first, second, and third person pronouns as the closest fit.

The public self, third-person pronouns (he/him, she/her), is the formal state. It shows respect and a distancing of one’s personal matters from others. Traditionalist Tajara would expect the use of the Dynasty aspect and appropriate titles when speaking in the public self. However, those from progressive regions rarely pay attention to the use of aspects as the weight of dynasties and the nobility is not present. Strangers meeting, a subordinate addressing a superior, and other cases where formality and respect is expected uses the public self.
<blockquote>
"'''His''' greetings to the '''madam'''."

In this line, Person A speaks to Person B's public self through his own. As Person A does not know Person B’s name or title, madam is used to maintain respect.
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
“Hello '''Officer Smith'''. She is '''chef Al-Kandari'''.”

Person A addresses Person B, a human, through their title and last name. Person A maintains the public self through the use of her own title and Dynasty aspect.
</blockquote>

The use of second-person pronouns (you/your) can depend on where someone is from. Non-traditionalist regions, such as the Hadiist lands, don’t consider second-person pronouns formal or informal. Traditional cultures, such as the New Kingdom, find second-person pronouns informal. In this latter case, it is reserved for use by a superior addressing a subordinate or similar cases.
<blockquote>
“'''You''' need to handle that report by tomorrow. '''She''' will ensure it shows on '''your''' performance review otherwise.”

Person A addresses Person B through the personal self (you/your). It shows that Person A is either disrespectful, a superior, or from regions where the use of ‘you’ is not informal.
</blockquote>
The personal self, first-person pronouns (I/me/mine), is the informal state. It is addressing matters on a personal level where formality is not required, or genuinity is desired. The Individual aspect can be used by itself in this state. Close friends, personal moments, and similar matters would use the personal self.
<blockquote>
“'''I''' am unsure what '''you''' mean by this. '''Your''' proposal vexes '''me'''.”

Person A uses the personal self and addresses Person B in the personal self. This establishes a close and informal conversation or is used to disrespect Person B by addressing them directly.
</blockquote>
Transitioning from public to personal selfs is easy. The initiator who desires to make the conversation informal starts by referring to themself in the personal self. If the other participants agree to make a conversation informal, then they respond in kind using the personal self. Otherwise, they may continue to use the public self and maintain the conversation’s formality.
<blockquote>
"No, '''I''' simply wanted to be introduced to '''her'''. '''My''' name is '''Abdal Akhtarov'''."

Person A steps into the personal self but is still speaking to Person B through her public self. This is an invitation to personal conversation, done respectfully by not involving Person B's personal self directly.
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
"Hello, '''Mr. Akhtarov'''. '''I''' am '''Aisha'''. Does '''he''' wish to speak elsewhere?"

Person B is still speaking to Person A's public self, however refers to herself in the personal self, accepting the invitation to an informal conversation. In the following conversation, it would be acceptable for both to use personal self.
</blockquote>
The use of the public and personal self by non-Tajara can be jarring for those not acclimated to human environments. Tajara not used to human space can find it disrespectful how the use of the personal self is standard. Those acclimated to non-Tajaran patterns of speech rarely take issue with the lack of distinction between public and personal self. Referring to a non-Tajara through informal pronouns is broadly acceptable, however the use of first-person pronouns, the personal self, as a default often takes years in human space and a concerted effort for a Tajara to transition to.

==== Slang/Terminology ====
Tajara, like every species, has a wide variety of slang terms in both Tajaran languages and Tau Ceti Basic. While no list can be truly comprehensive, as slang is ever changing, certain phrases and terms have become widespread enough to be known by nearly all Tajara.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:auto"
|-
! Phrase !! Meaning !! Origin
|-
| T'zivr/Tivr || Xeno, Human || Beginning as a term for solely humans, T'zivr, or "furless", grew to incorporate all aliens as a whole. The term is not wholly considered derogatory, however is seen as less acceptable than xeno or alien.
|-
| Dornshky || Furless || A strong insult originating from the physical condition itself. While it is a common insult among Tajara, it includes a more derogatory way to refer to aliens.
|-
| T'ishk || IPCs, Robots, Hadiists || Originating from the Siik term for soulless, T'ishk became a widespread insult for Hadiists and robots alike among Little Adhomai, quickly spreading to other Tajaran communities and, ultimately, back to Adhomai.
|-
| M'ishk || IPCs || The non-derogatory version of T'ishk, M'ishk more specifically refers to IPCs, directly translating as "artificial soul". It started as a shorthand of Manq'ishk, however quickly gained traction within the People's Republic, and later other Tajaran communities.
|-
| Sha'tajii/Shatii || Dionae || Directly translating to "wood peoples", the term began from Little Adhomai where contact between Tajara and Dionae took place frequently enough to generate a slang term.
|-
| Kirr || Vaurca || Directly translating to "insect", the slur originated from Little Adhomian gangs warring with Vaurca living in neighboring districts. The term spread rapidly following the murders of multiple Tajara ordered by Vaurca Queen Ta'Akaix'Zoleth'akeh Zo'ra.
|-
| Nav'hen || Unathi || A contraction of the phrase "dahal Nav henrhesi", translating to "dies in the cold". The phrase began as a tongue-in-cheek way to refer to Unathi mercenaries within the S'rand'marr Coalition by ALA soldiers, before spreading to Little Adhomai where it was shortened to Nav'hen.
|-
| Ratajani || Skrell || Originating from the folk tales of small, ugly, stump-tailed, neon colored creatures. Characterized as greedy and the cause of unlucky events in life, Ratajani was quickly applied to Skrell upon first contact. This use of the term as a slur quickly overtook the earlier and less derogatory use as comparison to misbehaving children.
|-
| K'strelkii || Mercenary, Corporate Drone || Translating as "money soldier", the term grew out of the spite among Tajara towards corporate busy-bodies and mercenary groups.
|-
| Rafama || Stubborn, Hard-headed, Territorial || Originating from the behavior of Rafamas on Adhomai, the term is a long historic name for any person acting particularly stubborn or stand-offish.
|-
| Raskaren || Noble, Enforcer || Based upon the mythological Raskaren, a creature of Raskara that drinks blood and is incapable of surviving sunlight. The term grew to become a slur against nobles and M'sai enforcers. While predominantly used within the [[Free Tajaran Council]], the term has been slowly spreading to Little Adhomai and Adhomai proper. It is banned within the New Kingdom.
|-
| T'Kalta || Royalist, Poor || Forming from a joke regarding the relatively high rates of poverty within the New Kingdom, T'Kalta, translating to "without money", grew in popularity across the People's Republic and Democratic People's Republic.
|-
| Njaqrii || Noble Dynasty || Translating into "noble family collective", the Njaqrii is what amounts to a dynasty. One must be a Njarir to be within a Njaqrii. These dynasties can be expansive, covering sometimes hundreds of Tajara. The distinction between dynasties is primarily determined by recognition from other Njaqrii. Given progress nations on Adhomai abhor the nobility, Njaqarii remains a matter only relevant to the [[New Kingdom of Adhomai]] and history.
|-
| Njarii || Noble House || Where Njaqrii is the noble family, Njarii is the noble "house". Njarii act, in essence, like a business centered around the matters of the Njaqrii, or sections within the Njaqrii. The Njarii includes far more individuals, spanning from servants and workers to the nobility themselves. Establishing a Njarii is a legal matter within the [[New Kingdom of Adhomai]], however in the [[People's Republic of Adhomai]] and [[Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai]], Njarii remain unrecognized or illegal.
|-
| T'Ruv || Shameless, Al'mariist || A rare Hadiist term that was applied to Al'mariists for the perceived shamelessness in illegal and underhanded tactics during the Second Revolution. The term has since grown and spread across Tajaran communities.
|-
| T'Zhunii || Hick, Redneck || Translating to "lacking desire people", the term spread as a catch-all for rural peasantry. The exact origins are believed to be a jab at the lack of time or willpower for rural peasantry to hold greater ambitions.
|-
| Vak'a || Idiot, Airhead, Bro || Originating from Little Adhomai, Vak'a spread rapidly as a general way to refer to a friend, equivalent to saying dude or bro.
|-
| Vakalnar || Grifter || Meaning "air salesman", equivalent to calling someone a snake oil salesman.
|-
| Tyrhal || Hell || Tajaran religions have no singular lands that are considered the equivalent to hell among Human religions. However, ancient tales mentioned Tyrhal, or 'land of demons'. Tyrhal was saved from obscurity when Little Adhomian residents wanted a Tajaran version of the human term hell. The term spread as a compromise for those Tajara who wanted to adopt Human mannerisms while maintaining Tajaran culture.
|-
| Azukavo/Azuvo || Love you || Not inherently slang, the use of Azuvo has become desensitized in more progressive communities of Tajara. Rather than being an intimate expression not fit for use in public, it has seen less stigma in use, albeit still associated with loved ones and close friends.
|-
| Ketvo (Ane)! || Onwards, Let's Go, To Victory || Translated literally as "March to victory!", Ketvo Ane was established as a phrase within People's Republic military leadership. Being the standard phrase to initiate movement or actions, it became widespread during the Second Revolution, even among the other nations as turncoats brought the phrase along with them. Post-war, the phrase spread rapidly.
|-
| Blinder || Overwhelming, Too Much || Descended from the concept of S’rendarr’s light being the embodiment of energy and life. Having too much of S’rendarr’s light may blind someone, therefore for something to be a Blinder it exudes too much energy, S’rendarr’s light.
|-
| Half-Knuckle || Poor, Fraternizer (Royalist) || Originating from a noble snide. Knuckles are the smallest form of currency on Adhomai, therefore to call someone a half-knuckle implies they are so poor as to only have a half-knuckle. Within Royalist society, the term additionally refers to nobles who are seen as fraternizing too much with commoners.
|-
| Top Snow || Young, Inexperienced, New || A term referring to the top layer of snow, often fresh light snow. Someone who is Top Snow is fresh, equivalent to the human term "green horn".
|-
| Washoff || Old, Undesirable, Lackluster || Referring to the runoff of melted summer snow, called washoff on Adhomai, the term grew to be used for undesirable items or people, likened at times to the phrase ‘getting long in the tooth’.
|-
| Bronzer || Jackboot, Enforcer, Cop || Descended from the bronze emblems used to denote an on-duty enforcer. Used in a derogatory manner against cops, enforcers, and authority figures alike.
|-
| Bookie || Bookworm, Royalist, Dork || Stemming from the cultural view of books as symbols of noble oppression, bookie is a term used to insult someone within progressive cultures as a royalist, or someone who tolerates or encourages noble oppression. Can also be an insult equivalent of calling someone a dork, nerd, etc.
|-
| Torcher || Friendly, Happy, Positive || Originating from the symbol of Azubarre’s torch, calling someone a torcher implies they embody Azubarre’s torch, and therefore his qualities of positivity, friendliness, and true love. Over time, the connotations associated with Azubarre, namely the more romantic elements, became less emphasized, resulting in the slang becoming a catch all for friendliness and positivity.

===Emotional Displays===
Because of their anatomy, Tajara express emotions in different ways than Humans. Baring one’s teeth is a strong expression of challenge or mockery. As such, Tajara rarely smile by showing the teeth, instead wrinkling the nose by gently lifting the sides of the muzzle. The folding of ears is a clear sign of fear or worry, while perking the ears forward shows attention or interest. Ears will involuntarily flick when exposed to loud sounds.

The semi-prehensile tail of Tajara allows for a great amount of expression. Enough emphasis has been placed on the tail as a form of expression and language that Tajara afflicted with Hakh’jar are commonly misread or have to vocalize their current emotion. Tajaran tails naturally sway, however a rapid sway or wag is a childish sign of satisfaction. Curving the tail downward and blistering is a clear sign of hostility, whereas tucking the tail down by the feet is a stress response. The flicking of the tail end is a sign of anger or anxiety.

Displays of affection among Tajara are rarely seen in public, and looked down on by traditionally minded Tajara. The common forms of affection are the bumping as muzzles or holding of the wrist. While less common, twining the tail around an ankle or wrist is seen as equivalent to holding the wrist. Intertwining tails, however, is seen as a childish expression of affection. Hugging is not seen romantically. It is seen as a transfer of body heat and thus a common act between friends, comrades, and family alike. Those acclimated to human expression may view hugging as having a romantic component in certain contexts, however this is lost on those with a traditional mindset.

Status was a major aspect of emotional expression during the times of the nobility. When interacting with another of a higher social status, it was required for the lesser of the two to lower their head and pull the ears back. Having direct eye-contact or tilting the head up was seen as a show of defiance. These expectations have since been challenged and are often disregarded if not outright rejected since the fall of the old nobility, however those traditional-minded Tajara and Royalists within the New Kingdom continue to abide by the rules of status.

===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 protect 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.

[[File:Tajara dance .png|240px|thumb|right|Two tajara wearing traditional dresses during a musical performance.]]
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.

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.

====Fur Dying====
One of the flashier aspects of fashion and looks is fur dye. History saw extensive use of early fur dyes as methods to mark oneself as part of an in-group. Certain nobles would demand their enforcers and soldiers mark the noble’s crest on their neck, back, or arms. These symbols came to be associated with royalist loyalty well into the early history of the People’s Republic. Fur dye was banned during Al’mari’s reign, deemed as royalist sentiment. These restrictions came to an end during the beginning of the Second Revolution when Malik Hadii revoked the ban and instituted it across the People’s Republic’s agencies.

In the present day, fur dye is commonly used to signify what it once did: presence in an in-group. Whether it be a mark of one’s nation, military unit, or other such matters. Fur dye as an expression of the self is a relatively new concept to mainstream society. Regardless of intent, markings from fur dye are typically small due to the cost of dyes which prohibit large or extravagant designs. Fur dyes remain almost exclusively in earthen tones and dark colors. The most popular color, due to its cheap price and wide availability, is Earthen-Root Blue (Hex: #6082B6). Few bright colors exist and are viewed as particularly disruptive and taboo.

Many complications exist with fur dyes. Care and preparation must be taken to properly dye Tajaran fur, or else the fur becomes damaged and sheds. The restrictive range of colors is due, in part, to the lack of a synthetic dye that caters to Tajaran fur. This leaves Tajara with Adhomian sourced dyes that rely upon Adhomian flora of which few vibrant colors are available compared to earthen tones. NanoTrasen remains the largest producer of Tajaran dyes, fur, and mane soaps.

=== Cuisine ===
[[File:Taj food.png|240px|thumb|right|A common Tajaran 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 were 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 long-lasting nature. 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 thrown 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 Adhomian 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 - has 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 which even learned peasants who had to pay out of pocket to access. This led to the 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.

Traveling circuses have been present in the Tajaran culture since ancient times. Joining a troupe was one of the few available ways for a Tajara to escape the rigid roles of the caste system. Performances usually include trained animals, acrobatics, storytelling, puppetry, strength displays, magic performance, creep shows, and stores selling all kinds of food and curiosities. Since circus schools only started to appear after the First Revolution, artists frequently transmitted their techniques to their pupils. Due to the previous conflicts and the ongoing cold war, wandering troupes face large barriers than ever before. Some of the biggest circuses have left for the stars in search of a more welcoming audience than Adhomai.

===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 with 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 on 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.

Tabletop RPGs and wargames are popular for Tajara in urban centers. The Tajaran tradition of storytelling lent itself to these games being easily understood and quickly enjoyed by players who saw them as an evolution of the tales that priests shared in their communities. The tabletop scene sprouted a few years following the First Revolution’s end with Siik’maas translated versions of human and skrell tabletops. These were adapted later into localized versions that then became entirely Tajaran systems. The most well-known of these games is “Global Conquest”, originally made by the PRA and then adapted by DPRA and NKA companies, this board game replicates the conquest of Adhomai by different armies. Another is “Explorators of the Unknown”, a modular game where players play as characters exploring or investigating a world of their design.

The notion of video games is unknown to the natives of 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 her village 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 players in the PRA and a larger following in the NKA. 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. Mahmrro came to be associated with the lower classes towards the end of the Steeple Peace. This attitude is visible in the NKA where nobility largely avoid playing the game. Leagues exist in every country for the game with these Mahmrro Clubs gaining much fame.

*'''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.

*'''Baghrar:''' an ancient martial art from Adhomai primarily used for sport and contests of strength. The fighting style consists of strikes against the opponent from the waist up. The form of the attacks is primarily swiping motions that take advantage of a Tajara's claws to rake an opponent's torso or head. Other moves include punching for friendlier matches or stabbing forward with the claws in typical confrontations. Modern Baghrariri, or people who practice the Baghrar style for sport, usually fight with implements that cover and support their nails to avoid serious bodily damage. Modern Baghrar fights are decided upon with a point-scoring system over three 10-minute rounds, but historical victories were secured by knocking opponents onto the ground. Baghrar has been adapted into several different styles used by Adhomaian police and army units.

====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 the 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 horizontally 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 ===
''For more information, see [[Tajaran Military Structures]]''

Warfare and militaries on Adhomai are catered to the environment demands of the snowy planet. Logistics are a prized necessity, with entire wars being won through denying the opposing side consistent access to heat and food. Since the First Revolution, guerilla warfare and mobility doctrines have defined Tajaran warfighting. With the end of the Second Revolution, previous doctrines were shattered. New realities have forced each nation's military into its own place, developing separately not for the war fought previously, but the war it anticipates. As a result, Adhomian military technologies have received some of the largest research and development. It remains to be seen how these advances will play out, or how each nation has prepared itself under the new geopolitical reality.

The military hardware of Adhomai is a blend of proven, if dated, technologies and advanced experimental concepts. The bulk of Tajaran soldiers across the 3 nations are armed with new semi-automatic rifles, or automatic rifles in the case of the People's Republic's Tsarrayut’yan rifle. These weapons, however, are based on reliable systems tested in the chaos of the Second Revolution. Weathered against the cold, and prepared for years of abuse, Adhomian rifles are among the sturdiest and most reliable in mass-production. Energy-based rifles are uncommon. Concerns of lasers reflecting off the snow, revealing one's positions, and the scarcity of reliable energy sources have pushed the new technology to the side. The People's Republic's Icelance rifle has beat the odds even if it is reserved for the elites of the Republican Guard. Partisans see use of the enduring Harrzhak bolt-action rifle. Special forces find their own in lever-action rifles, Hotaki sniper rifles, or other specialized weapons. Close-in engagements still make frequent use of bayonets and swords. Shotguns and submachine guns are, ironically, reserved for shock troops. Regardless of situation, Adhomai has a rifle that suits one's needs. They are cheap and reliable, albeit at times dated but no less effective.

Tajaran artillery is where the cunning of Tajaran engineering shines. 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. Even as venerable howitzers and emplacements see use decades, sometimes nearly a century, of use, Tajara continue to expand their artillery repertoire. Massive self-propelled guns within the ALA ride alongside their fearsome tanks while the People's Republic develops exosuits carrying large artillery cannons. The New Kingdom has found use in large railway cannons, among the largest to be produced on Adhomai, alongside the mass of naval vessels capable of fire support.

==== Notable Weapons ====
'''Harrzhak Bolt-Action Rifle:''' A venerable design hailing from the mid-Steeple Peace era. It is a cheap bolt-action rifle designed the minimize exposure of the action to the outside elements. Despite the simplicity of the design, it is capable of great accuracy.

'''Adhokorr Sword:''' A sword pattern originating from, and associated heavily with, Amohda. It is a straight single-edged blade that extends roughly 1.5 meters in length. The grip is typically made from local wood and bound in fabric or leather. It is intended for use with two-hands but is capable of single-handed use.

'''Sahikorr Blade:''' A curved sword designed during the Warring Kings era. It features a long and thin blade of varying lengths. It is without a guard, with most modern variants making use of a metal-reinforced grip. All manner of Sahikorr blades exist, from ceremonial officer swords to cheap and mass-produced partisan blades.

=== 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 musicals. Some artistic Hharar who lived before the war give 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 that the sun god S'rendarr celebrates. Tajara under the worship of Ma'ta'ke have a less celebratory and less ritualistic ceremony, instead, they have 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.

Throughout history, the concept of gender in Tajara society varied over time. Archaeological evidence suggests that before the Incarnate Dominion, multiple identities—often related to religious practices—existed. Like everything else, the nobility's breeding project also molded the perception of gender in Adhomai. Njarir’Akhran, with their great emphasis on their bloodline, were the ones with the strictest and defined gender roles. While the Zhan-Khazan rarely cared about these definitions, seeing little distinction between them. After the revolution, gender in the Tajara society changed as well, but it did not free itself fully from the shackles of the pre-contact oppression.

In history, transgender Tajara were more common among Njarir and Hharar due to their more defined gender roles. Before the revolution, these individuals were often in a nebulous state, as they were still obligated to participate in the eugenics program. While some could still find suitable partners, others had to find other outlets, such as joining religious societies or becoming outcasts. Ma'ta'ke priesthood is open to transgender Tajara who identify as their patron god's gender. The Church of S'rand'marr rejects these notions and maintains a strong distinction within its organization based on the gender assigned at birth of its members.

Third gender and nonbinary identities have historically been associated with religious and mystical perspectives. Those who could combine and balance both aspects were typically priests or mystics, known to have achieved some form of enlightenment. Only after the revolution are these identities now explored without the trappings of the occult. The older generations are usually confused by younger individuals who identify as such, with more religious Tajara being outraged at them for appropriating something that was once sacred.

Sexual orientation was a poorly defined concept for the Tajara until the contact. With the emphasis on the caste system, most individuals were expected to have a partner of the same ethnicity with whom they could reproduce, despite their preferences. The nobility often persecuted any relationship or behavior that threatened the caste project. The nobility strictly forbade any kind of relationship with a Tajara of a different ethnicity.

After the civil war, theories and studies about gender and orientation have begun to emerge among revolutionary thinkers. The most radical theorists argued that such concepts were constructions of the old nobility to further their control, calling for forgetting such ideas in favor of new visions. Currently, the Tajara society still upholds gender roles similar to those before the contact, mainly based on one's heritage. The concept of a defined and clear sexual orientation is still fairly new. Only now free of the oppressive Njarir system, the Tajara are free to think about these matters as they develop further socially, even if frequently tainted by the lingering old prejudices. The other species' vision of these matters is seen as alien; even a traditional Tajara would not care to pass judgment on anything that does not involve their people.

Because of the Tajara's recent history as a repressive, conservative species, they still carry many prejudices from the period before the revolution. Overt displays of affection, xenophilia, and interracial relationships among Tajara are looked down on and treated as deviancy. The pre-contact nobility purposefully encouraged these sentiments to further preserve the caste system.

[[File:Adhomai render 2.png|240px|thumb|right|An Adhomian city.]]

===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.

===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.

William Murdoch: /* Outcomes */

{{Reference}}
''For CCIA lore, see [[Stellar_Corporate_Conglomerate#Corporate_Oversight|Stellar Corporate Conglomerate]]''
[[File:staff_directory.png|thumbnail|CCIA (yellow) is parallel to the moderation team (blue/red), but under the headmins.]]
Central Command Internal Affairs (CCIA) is the organization within the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate responsible for investigating and resolving matters that occur at SCC-operated workplaces. Out of character, CCIA are an Aurora staff team tasked with, but not limited to:

*Maintaining and enforcing the server setting as well as moderation of in-character actions.
*Mediating employee disputes in the form of incident reports and review requests.
*Responding to fax communications sent during a shift.
*Managing and updating both SCC corporate structure, [[Corporate Regulations]], and [[Standard Operating Procedure]].
*Representing the greater SCC through in and out of game interactions. (Discord relay bulletin posts, mini-events, faxes, in-game audits, coordinating holiday parties, etc.)
*Assisting players to encourage and enhance roleplay interactons.

The CCIA staff participate in-character utilizing staff-only roles that serve to arbitrate in-character issues. The resolution of these in-character issues can result in punishments against characters that are enforced by the Aurora administration. CCIA can be denoted by their light blue text color in OOC in-game, and their yellow role in the main Aurora Discord.

==Organization==
CCIA is made up of 3 positions: CCIA Agent (CCIAA), CCIA Leader, and Admin Liaisons. CCIAAs are under the authority of the CCIA Leader. The CCIA Leader is a head of staff who works directly with and for server Head Admins in maintaining oversight and direction of the CCIA team. External oversight is maintained through staff complaints should a player feel a decision was made in bad faith, off faulty information, or breaks server policy or rules.

Typically, the CCIA Leader does not handle IR or RR investigations. Few exceptions exist for reports of significant impact or scale. They do retain final say on all investigation conclusions, and dictate any changes to Corporation Regulations, Standard Operation Procedure, and internal policy. CCIA Agents handle the majority of investigations, as well as other duties within the team.

Admin Liaisons exist to ensure incoming IRs and RRs are not invalid due to OOC concerns, as well as to determine when a certain situation crosses into the Moderation team's jurisdiction. They do maintain a level of oversight over the team as a whole.

==Faxes==
Whenever anyone sends a message using a fax machine, whether it was sent by the Horizon or an off-ship, CCIA receives and acts on the fax. To this end, CCIA represents as a whole the nations and organizations of the setting, not just the SCC and the corporations within it. At times, an agent may ask for assistance from Lore Developers if a situation calls for it.

Responses to faxes fall within one of two actions:
*Announcement
*Return Fax

Announcements can vary based on the context of a given fax. Often times, announcements are used to address certain issues that requires the audience of the entire crew, or to address issues that cannot be addressed via a return fax. The most common examples of CCIA announcements are "Fax Received" and "Fax Format".
Fax Received announcements are often used to acknowledge when Command has faxed a situation report, but does not require a detailed response.
Fax Format announcements are used to inform Command that a previous fax failed to conform to the standards found on the [[Guide to Faxes]].

Return faxes are used for detailed responses. In many cases, this is to provide material for roleplay or to provide clarification on certain issues. Faxes may include orders from Central Command, or other groups such as governments. However, CCIA avoids directly ordering crew unless the situation requires it.
CCIA may cooperate with antagonists or Storytellers to handle incoming faxes. In the case of antagonists, this requires approval from an admin, however Storytellers may work with willing CCIA agents as needed.

Bear in mind that CCIA may only utilize information provided to them from previous faxes or EBS messages when writing announcements or return faxes.

==Incident Reports==
''Incident Reports can be made [https://forums.aurorastation.org/forum/47-incident-reports/ here].''

An Incident Report is an in-character document that serves the purpose of reporting an issue to Human Resources (HR) regarding on-ship situations that have either ''not been resolved by on-duty personnel'' or ''go beyond the power of command on board the SCCV Horizon''. Incident Reports are handled by Human Resources Assistants (HRA), personnel that serve the duties of collecting evidence and testimony of organized investigations into recorded and approved Incident Reports on behalf of Human Resources (HR), a sublet of CCIA. Incident Reports that are of sufficient severity may be handled by an Internal Affairs agent or a [[Republic_Security_%26_Law_Enforcement#Biesel_Security_Services_Bureau|Biesel Security Services Bureau agent]].

If your character is employed by a mega-corporation that is partnered with the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate, you are able to file Incident Reports at your discretion. Third party ghost spawn characters, merchants and other characters that are not affiliated with the SCCV Horizon and SCC '''are not allowed to file Incident Reports'''. Exceptions to this may arise from a lore arc.

If all participant players agree to, CCIA may be requested to set-up a "planned" Incident Report, wherein all players can discuss with CCIA a desired situation and its outcome. The assigned agent will discuss what actions will occur, then determine a set of actions that are appropriate for the incident and agreeable with the players involved. This allows for escalation of in-character situations and relationships without fear of potentially unpredictable Incident Report actions. These "planned" Incident Reports do not absolve a character of any consequence, instead it allows for communication on expectations and involvement in the action process.

===The Process===
Once an Incident Report has been filed, a member of CCIA will provide an automated message stating it has entered the queue. Upon review, the Incident Report may be deleted or denied by a '''Admin Liaison''' depending on antagonist involvement and/or OOC considerations. If the incident report has been deemed valid, it will be assigned to an agent, noted in a reply to the report. The assigned agent will further review the report to decide if it will be pursued or binned. If it is binned, the reporting party will be notified via the incident report thread. If proceeding, the assigned agent will reach out, as needed, to the parties involved for an interview in game. Once the agent has acquired sufficient testimony, the parties involved will be contacted with the appropriate in-character resolution.

At the close of an incident report, an in-game resolution will be completed and the verdict provided to the involved parties. The outcome of the incident report is at the discretion of the CCIA agent, who confers with the CCIA Lead as well as the CCIA team as needed. As each case is unique, the methods of resolution will vary, based on gathered testimony throughout the incident report and the evidence submitted with it.

'''CCIA Notes'''

The outcome of decisions made against characters is documented through CCIA notes, which are visible either on the web interface or in-game via character records for Command whitelist holders.

*You are expected to '''try and find a resolution to situations in the round''' within the chain of command. You may seek further action on unresolved issues via an IR. Attach what investigation findings you can in the additional info section. '''Making no effort''' to resolve an issue may cause the incident report to be closed without investigation unless a valid reason is provided.
**Examples of unresolved issues include offenders who leave the round via cryo or residential lifts before charges can be applied.
**In scenarios where the round ends before charges were applied, they may be handled by CCIA but will not require a full investigation if sufficient evidence is provided.
*Incident Reports are not public record, only the reporter or any individuals directly given information about an IR are allowed to speak about them ICly.
**This does not apply to the outcomes of Incident Reports. Command characters may view outcomes, which command players may access using the [https://byond.aurorastation.org/user Web Interface].
*If you have a question regarding the Incident Report you wish to file, you may contact any CCIA team member or admin liaison.
*A report will be dealt with when feasible, do not bump the IR threads or post unnecessarily on them, even if they are unlocked.
*'''You are not allowed to lie to defend others. You can only lie to defend yourself.''' If you want to help others, you are allowed to refuse to comment. This also applies to the investigation process.

===IR Guidelines===
*Filing a report '''does not guarantee action will be taken'''. Your report will be noted and stored for reference purposes.
*If an investigation is opened, '''your own conduct will be investigated right along with everyone else's'''. An incident is treated as a single event from all perspectives, so there is '''no need to submit a report regarding the same event that was reported by another player'''. If you are not the reporter of an incident and have more information to add to a report, you may do so when meeting with a CCIA agent.
*When an incident report has been taken by a CCIA agent, the contacted parties will be given '''seven (7) days''' to respond to any contact attempts from the agent, otherwise their interview will be waived. A time extension may be requested if it is required, however, it should remain within a reasonable time frame.
*'''If you submit an incident report, you are expected to participate in the process'''. Failure to respond to a CCIA notice of investigation within a week after an agent is assigned to the report may result in rejection.
*Requesting extensions for unavailability and then frequently playing in rounds during the 'unavailability' may be considered evading CCIA action and spark additional action taken.
*Interviews may be conducted on server aboard the SCCV Horizon or through discord should circumstances make an on-server interview difficult.
**'''Please note that discord interviews are typically a last resort and are not preferred'''. This is to ensure authenticity in record keeping with logs which cannot be guaranteed on Discord.
*Antagonists are expected to leave an agent's interview uninterrupted. '''Antagonists may only target an agent during the period after an interview has been completed'''.
**CCIA Agents will typically inform antagonists when an interview is planned and when it ends in AOOC.
*If you end up as an antagonist while escorting an agent, either ahelp or tell the CCIA in LOOC to excuse yourself from being an escort if this will significantly interrupt you.
**Whether an escort or interviewee, turn off antagonist preferences in the character setup menu before joining the round.
*'''Anyone violating an action resulting from an Incident Report will be subject to administrative action.'''

===Outcomes===
When an incident report has concluded, the involved parties will receive notice of the outcome. Categories of employee actions taken are listed below, which is not an exhaustive list. CCIA reserves the right to incorporate multiple as needed, or tailor outcomes to the cases at hand. If you have any questions about the results of your IR, talk with your agent or with the CCIA Leader.

After actions have been taken, the only method of changing these actions is by either '''[[#Appeals|appealing]] or making a [https://forums.aurorastation.org/forum/19-staff-complaints/ staff complaint]'''.

'''Coursework'''
*An employee can be assigned to attend in-person or virtual courses for anger management, sensitivity training, conflict resolution, etc.
**These are typically completed off-screen and players are encouraged to include it in their RP where possible.
'''Counseling'''
*A member of HR may choose to mediate over a personal dispute between employees to resolve the issue without further escalation. The offenders, victims, and reporter can attend, as well as any supporting roles such as a Head of Staff or Corporate Liaison. Employees that do not participate earnestly and continue to be problematic may result in further action taken.
'''Reprimands'''
*Typically an official warning marked against an employee's record. In some cases, this can be probation for a period of time or include an injunction.
'''Position Changes'''
*Suspension, demotion, reassignments, and more can affect an employee's position on the Horizon. The range of time varies case to case. Where the employee is reassigned is determined by their record, their corporation, and their department.
**This won't always be enjoyable, we encourage players to talk with us OOC about what they're willing to reasonably play. An agreement that you're more willing to fulfill goes a long way.
'''Termination'''
*Contract termination for the employee who will no longer be employed on the SCCV Horizon. If all else fails in resolving a problematic record with repeat incidents, the employee will essentially be fired.
**Terminations are weighed heavily and something we keep in mind when reviewing a case, as it is the end of the character's story. We strive to stretch it out as much as possible, until the point where its no longer possible for someone of that level to be onboard.

===Appeals===
''Appeals can be made [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/21556-ccia-appeals-forum-rules-and-format-read-before-posting/ here].''

After an Incident Report has ended, you may appeal for a case review or for clemency. In the first case, the IR procedure followed by the agent is reviewed to determine if the correct approach was taken, and if the actions taken are appropriate. In the second case, you admit your character was in the wrong, and appeal to get a reduced penalty. If neither are seem applicable, then an OOC staff complaint should be filed.

There are further restrictions on appeals given their nature. Only post if you are personally appealing a CCIA action applied to your character, not actions applied to another character. Appeal threads are in-character, confidential correspondences between the affected character and the CCIA Appeals Processing office. Disclosing the contents of these threads to other characters may result in IC penalties against the disclosing character.

Minor CCIA actions cannot be appealed. This includes both formal and informal reprimands, and other actions with a duration of one week or less. CCIA appeals are intended for long-term actions that place severe restrictions on a character's behavior. Remember that unlike a ban, in most cases, a CCIA action does not prevent you from playing your character in a round.

Do not post appeals for Incident Reports that have not yet been closed. There will be nothing to review and you will feel silly.

'''All appeal rulings are final when they are declared.'''

'''Contract Terminations may not be appealed.''' If you believe your termination was unfair or invalid you will need to make an OOC [https://forums.aurorastation.org/forum/19-staff-complaints/ staff complaint].

==Review Requests==
''Review Requests can be made [https://forums.aurorastation.org/forum/103-review-requests/ here].''

Review Requests are a means of reporting problematic employee activity based on their records and arrest history that is not captured in a particular incident report. Through Review Requests, you reuqest CCIA to examine and take action as they see proper, based on the employee's records and arrest history. Unlike incident reports, interviews are not required unless a full investigation is deemed necessary by CCIA.

When a review request is submitted, a CCIA agent will be assigned. The CCIA agent will review the character's records, taking into account their arrests, charges, or any pertinent information available. Any charges that were the result of antagonist influence but not marked off will be removed. The agent will determine if an investigation is needed to gather more information. If no investigation is needed, the character in question will be notified of the outcome.

The possible outcomes of a review request are the same as those from an [[#Outcomes|incident report]].

===Guidelines===
*'''Review Requests must strictly be in IC format'''. This is not an OOC complaint section. To file an OOC complaint see the Character/Player Complaints board.
*Review Requests must be made using the format provided [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/21558-review-requests-rules-and-format-read-before-posting/ here].
*Review Requests may not be submitted against antagonists or situations heavily regulated by antagonist action.
*Events that occurred during expeditions in-round are considered to be covered by antagonist-related rules.
*Review Requests are not public record, only the filer or any people who are directly given information about a RR are allowed to speak about them ICly.
*If you have a question regarding the Review Request you wish to file, you may contact any CCIA team member or liaison.
*A request will be dealt with when feasible, do not bump the RR threads or post unnecessarily on them, even if they are unlocked.

==Commendation Reports==
''Commendation Reports can be made [https://forums.aurorastation.org/forum/98-commendation-reports/ here].''

Commendation Reports are a method by which characters can recommend other characters for acknowledgement and rewards for heroic actions. The review process for commendation reports is often simpler than other reports, rarely going beyond what is reported in the request itself. The team as a whole discusses the commendation report and determined one of the following actions:
*Nothing
*Mentioned in Despatches - The most basic recognition, and perhaps the most common one. For employees that are recognised for efforts or participation in them, that do not warrant a medal.
*Corporate Medal - The most basic medal, awarded to all staff for meritorious acts.
*Wound Ribbon and Medal - The award for loss of limb, physical integrity or life in service to the Corporation. The wound ribbon is preceded by the wound medal.
*Medal for Merit - The Medal for Merit is a two class medal, the second class being followed by the first class. Usually awarded to security staff for courageous and meritorious acts.
*Sciences Award - In Silver or Gold, awarded for innovative ideas, discoveries, inventions or breakthroughs in the field of science and robotics.
*Miranda Cross - The highest honour bestowed upon an employee for services to the company, meritorious acts or extraordinary feats.

===Guidelines===
*'''Commendation Reports must strictly be in IC format.'''
*Commendation Reports must be made using the format found [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/14734-commendation-reports-rules-and-format-read-before-posting/ here].
*Commendation Reports may not be submitted in favour of non-Horizon characters or non-canon situations.
**Before submitting, make sure that the situation is being accepted as canon by the involved parties and server rules.
*Commendation Reports may only be submitted by '''Command Staff or a Corporate Liaison/Representative'''.
*Commendation Reports themselves are '''not public knowledge'''. Any commendations, mentions or awards are, once they are granted.
*Do not file Commendation Reports for minor things or for people simply doing their jobs.

William Murdoch: /* Incident Reports */

{{Reference}}
''For CCIA lore, see [[Stellar_Corporate_Conglomerate#Corporate_Oversight|Stellar Corporate Conglomerate]]''
[[File:staff_directory.png|thumbnail|CCIA (yellow) is parallel to the moderation team (blue/red), but under the headmins.]]
Central Command Internal Affairs (CCIA) is the organization within the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate responsible for investigating and resolving matters that occur at SCC-operated workplaces. Out of character, CCIA are an Aurora staff team tasked with, but not limited to:

*Maintaining and enforcing the server setting as well as moderation of in-character actions.
*Mediating employee disputes in the form of incident reports and review requests.
*Responding to fax communications sent during a shift.
*Managing and updating both SCC corporate structure, [[Corporate Regulations]], and [[Standard Operating Procedure]].
*Representing the greater SCC through in and out of game interactions. (Discord relay bulletin posts, mini-events, faxes, in-game audits, coordinating holiday parties, etc.)
*Assisting players to encourage and enhance roleplay interactons.

The CCIA staff participate in-character utilizing staff-only roles that serve to arbitrate in-character issues. The resolution of these in-character issues can result in punishments against characters that are enforced by the Aurora administration. CCIA can be denoted by their light blue text color in OOC in-game, and their yellow role in the main Aurora Discord.

==Organization==
CCIA is made up of 3 positions: CCIA Agent (CCIAA), CCIA Leader, and Admin Liaisons. CCIAAs are under the authority of the CCIA Leader. The CCIA Leader is a head of staff who works directly with and for server Head Admins in maintaining oversight and direction of the CCIA team. External oversight is maintained through staff complaints should a player feel a decision was made in bad faith, off faulty information, or breaks server policy or rules.

Typically, the CCIA Leader does not handle IR or RR investigations. Few exceptions exist for reports of significant impact or scale. They do retain final say on all investigation conclusions, and dictate any changes to Corporation Regulations, Standard Operation Procedure, and internal policy. CCIA Agents handle the majority of investigations, as well as other duties within the team.

Admin Liaisons exist to ensure incoming IRs and RRs are not invalid due to OOC concerns, as well as to determine when a certain situation crosses into the Moderation team's jurisdiction. They do maintain a level of oversight over the team as a whole.

==Faxes==
Whenever anyone sends a message using a fax machine, whether it was sent by the Horizon or an off-ship, CCIA receives and acts on the fax. To this end, CCIA represents as a whole the nations and organizations of the setting, not just the SCC and the corporations within it. At times, an agent may ask for assistance from Lore Developers if a situation calls for it.

Responses to faxes fall within one of two actions:
*Announcement
*Return Fax

Announcements can vary based on the context of a given fax. Often times, announcements are used to address certain issues that requires the audience of the entire crew, or to address issues that cannot be addressed via a return fax. The most common examples of CCIA announcements are "Fax Received" and "Fax Format".
Fax Received announcements are often used to acknowledge when Command has faxed a situation report, but does not require a detailed response.
Fax Format announcements are used to inform Command that a previous fax failed to conform to the standards found on the [[Guide to Faxes]].

Return faxes are used for detailed responses. In many cases, this is to provide material for roleplay or to provide clarification on certain issues. Faxes may include orders from Central Command, or other groups such as governments. However, CCIA avoids directly ordering crew unless the situation requires it.
CCIA may cooperate with antagonists or Storytellers to handle incoming faxes. In the case of antagonists, this requires approval from an admin, however Storytellers may work with willing CCIA agents as needed.

Bear in mind that CCIA may only utilize information provided to them from previous faxes or EBS messages when writing announcements or return faxes.

==Incident Reports==
''Incident Reports can be made [https://forums.aurorastation.org/forum/47-incident-reports/ here].''

An Incident Report is an in-character document that serves the purpose of reporting an issue to Human Resources (HR) regarding on-ship situations that have either ''not been resolved by on-duty personnel'' or ''go beyond the power of command on board the SCCV Horizon''. Incident Reports are handled by Human Resources Assistants (HRA), personnel that serve the duties of collecting evidence and testimony of organized investigations into recorded and approved Incident Reports on behalf of Human Resources (HR), a sublet of CCIA. Incident Reports that are of sufficient severity may be handled by an Internal Affairs agent or a [[Republic_Security_%26_Law_Enforcement#Biesel_Security_Services_Bureau|Biesel Security Services Bureau agent]].

If your character is employed by a mega-corporation that is partnered with the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate, you are able to file Incident Reports at your discretion. Third party ghost spawn characters, merchants and other characters that are not affiliated with the SCCV Horizon and SCC '''are not allowed to file Incident Reports'''. Exceptions to this may arise from a lore arc.

If all participant players agree to, CCIA may be requested to set-up a "planned" Incident Report, wherein all players can discuss with CCIA a desired situation and its outcome. The assigned agent will discuss what actions will occur, then determine a set of actions that are appropriate for the incident and agreeable with the players involved. This allows for escalation of in-character situations and relationships without fear of potentially unpredictable Incident Report actions. These "planned" Incident Reports do not absolve a character of any consequence, instead it allows for communication on expectations and involvement in the action process.

===The Process===
Once an Incident Report has been filed, a member of CCIA will provide an automated message stating it has entered the queue. Upon review, the Incident Report may be deleted or denied by a '''Admin Liaison''' depending on antagonist involvement and/or OOC considerations. If the incident report has been deemed valid, it will be assigned to an agent, noted in a reply to the report. The assigned agent will further review the report to decide if it will be pursued or binned. If it is binned, the reporting party will be notified via the incident report thread. If proceeding, the assigned agent will reach out, as needed, to the parties involved for an interview in game. Once the agent has acquired sufficient testimony, the parties involved will be contacted with the appropriate in-character resolution.

At the close of an incident report, an in-game resolution will be completed and the verdict provided to the involved parties. The outcome of the incident report is at the discretion of the CCIA agent, who confers with the CCIA Lead as well as the CCIA team as needed. As each case is unique, the methods of resolution will vary, based on gathered testimony throughout the incident report and the evidence submitted with it.

'''CCIA Notes'''

The outcome of decisions made against characters is documented through CCIA notes, which are visible either on the web interface or in-game via character records for Command whitelist holders.

[[File:staff_directory.png|thumbnail|CCIA (yellow) is parallel to the moderation team (blue/red), but under the headmins.]]
Central Command Internal Affairs (CCIA) is the organization within the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate responsible for investigating and resolving matters that occur at SCC-operated workplaces. Out of character, CCIA are an Aurora staff team tasked with, but not limited to:

*Maintaining and enforcing the server setting as well as moderation of in-character actions.
*Mediating employee disputes in the form of incident reports and review requests.
*Responding to fax communications sent during a shift.
*Managing and updating both SCC corporate structure, [[Corporate Regulations]], and [[Standard Operating Procedure]].
*Representing the greater SCC through in and out of game interactions. (Discord relay bulletin posts, mini-events, faxes, in-game audits, coordinating holiday parties, etc.)
*Assisting players to encourage and enhance roleplay interactons.

The CCIA staff participate in-character utilizing staff-only roles that serve to arbitrate in-character issues. The resolution of these in-character issues can result in punishments against characters that are enforced by the Aurora administration. CCIA can be denoted by their light blue text color in OOC in-game, and their yellow role in the main Aurora Discord.

==Organization==
CCIA is made up of 3 positions: CCIA Agent (CCIAA), CCIA Leader, and Admin Liaisons. CCIAAs are under the authority of the CCIA Leader. The CCIA Leader is a head of staff who works directly with and for server Head Admins in maintaining oversight and direction of the CCIA team. External oversight is maintained through staff complaints should a player feel a decision was made in bad faith, off faulty information, or breaks server policy or rules.

Typically, the CCIA Leader does not handle IR or RR investigations. Few exceptions exist for reports of significant impact or scale. They do retain final say on all investigation conclusions, and dictate any changes to Corporation Regulations, Standard Operation Procedure, and internal policy. CCIA Agents handle the majority of investigations, as well as other duties within the team.

Admin Liaisons exist to ensure incoming IRs and RRs are not invalid due to OOC concerns, as well as to determine when a certain situation crosses into the Moderation team's jurisdiction. They do maintain a level of oversight over the team as a whole.

==Faxes==
Whenever anyone sends a message using a fax machine, whether it was sent by the Horizon or an off-ship, CCIA receives and acts on the fax. To this end, CCIA represents as a whole the nations and organizations of the setting, not just the SCC and the corporations within it. At times, an agent may ask for assistance from Lore Developers if a situation calls for it.

Responses to faxes fall within one of two actions:
*Announcement
*Return Fax

Announcements can vary based on the context of a given fax. Often times, announcements are used to address certain issues that requires the audience of the entire crew, or to address issues that cannot be addressed via a return fax. The most common examples of CCIA announcements are "Fax Received" and "Fax Format".
Fax Received announcements are often used to acknowledge when Command has faxed a situation report, but does not require a detailed response.
Fax Format announcements are used to inform Command that a previous fax failed to conform to the standards found on the [[Guide to Faxes]].

Return faxes are used for detailed responses. In many cases, this is to provide material for roleplay or to provide clarification on certain issues. Faxes may include orders from Central Command, or other groups such as governments. However, CCIA avoids directly ordering crew unless the situation requires it.
CCIA may cooperate with antagonists or Storytellers to handle incoming faxes. In the case of antagonists, this requires approval from an admin, however Storytellers may work with willing CCIA agents as needed.

Bear in mind that CCIA may only utilize information provided to them from previous faxes or EBS messages when writing announcements or return faxes.

==Incident Reports==
''Incident Reports can be made [https://forums.aurorastation.org/forum/47-incident-reports/ here].''

An Incident Report is an in-character document that serves the purpose of reporting an issue to Human Resources (HR) regarding on-ship situations that have either ''not been resolved by on-duty personnel'' or ''go beyond the power of command on board the SCCV Horizon''. Incident Reports are handled by Human Resources Assistants (HRA), personnel that serve the duties of collecting evidence and testimony of organized investigations into recorded and approved Incident Reports on behalf of Human Resources (HR), a sublet of CCIA.

If your character is employed by a mega-corporation that is partnered with the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate, you are able to file Incident Reports at your discretion. Third party ghost spawn characters, merchants and other characters that are not affiliated with the SCCV Horizon and SCC '''are not allowed to file Incident Reports'''. Exceptions to this may arise from a lore arc.

===The Process===
Once an Incident Report has been filed, a member of CCIA will provide an automated message stating it has entered the queue. Upon review, the Incident Report may be deleted or denied by a '''Admin Liaison''' depending on antagonist involvement and/or OOC considerations. If the incident report has been deemed valid, it will be assigned to an agent, noted in a reply to the report. The assigned agent will further review the report to decide if it will be pursued or binned. If it is binned, the reporting party will be notified via the incident report thread. If proceeding, the assigned agent will reach out, as needed, to the parties involved for an interview in game. Once the agent has acquired sufficient testimony, the parties involved will be contacted with the appropriate in-character resolution.

At the close of an incident report, an in-game resolution will be completed and the verdict provided to the involved parties. The outcome of the incident report is at the discretion of the CCIA agent, who confers with the CCIA Lead as well as the CCIA team as needed. As each case is unique, the methods of resolution will vary, based on gathered testimony throughout the incident report and the evidence submitted with it.

'''CCIA Notes'''

The outcome of decisions made against characters is documented through CCIA notes, which are visible either on the web interface or in-game via character records for Command whitelist holders.

===IR Rules===
*'''Incident Reports must strictly be in IC format'''. This is not an OOC complaint section. To file an OOC complaint see the [https://forums.aurorastation.org/forum/18-characterplayer-complaints/ Character/Player Complaints board].
*Incident Reports must be made using the format provided [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/21557-incident-report-rules-and-format-read-before-posting/ here].
*Incident Reports may only be submitted against standard Horizon characters.
**Merchants and third-party characters cannot be offenders. Exceptions may apply for lore arcs.
*Incident Reports may not be submitted against antagonists or situations heavily influenced by antagonist involvement.
*Events that occurred during expeditions in-round are considered to be covered by antagonist-related rules.
**Incident Reports relating to events on canon [[Odyssey]] rounds will be accepted or binned on a case by case basis by the CCIA Lead.
**Non-canon Odyssey rounds will be treated the same as standard expeditions.
*Antagonists may not submit Incident Reports.
*You are expected to '''try and find a resolution to situations in the round''' within the chain of command. You may seek further action on unresolved issues via an IR. Attach what investigation findings you can in the additional info section. '''Making no effort''' to resolve an issue may cause the incident report to be closed without investigation unless a valid reason is provided.
**Examples of unresolved issues include offenders who leave the round via cryo or residential lifts before charges can be applied.
**In scenarios where the round ends before charges were applied, they may be handled by CCIA but will not require a full investigation if sufficient evidence is provided.
*Incident Reports are not public record, only the reporter or any individuals directly given information about an IR are allowed to speak about them ICly.
**This does not apply to the outcomes of Incident Reports. Command characters may view outcomes, which command players may access using the [https://byond.aurorastation.org/user Web Interface].
*If you have a question regarding the Incident Report you wish to file, you may contact any CCIA team member or admin liaison.
*A report will be dealt with when feasible, do not bump the IR threads or post unnecessarily on them, even if they are unlocked.
*'''You are not allowed to lie to defend others. You can only lie to defend yourself.''' If you want to help others, you are allowed to refuse to comment. This also applies to the investigation process.

===IR Guidelines===
*Filing a report '''does not guarantee action will be taken'''. Your report will be noted and stored for reference purposes.
*If an investigation is opened, '''your own conduct will be investigated right along with everyone else's'''. An incident is treated as a single event from all perspectives, so there is '''no need to submit a report regarding the same event that was reported by another player'''. If you are not the reporter of an incident and have more information to add to a report, you may do so when meeting with a CCIA agent.
*When an incident report has been taken by a CCIA agent, the contacted parties will be given '''seven (7) days''' to respond to any contact attempts from the agent, otherwise their interview will be waived. A time extension may be requested if it is required, however, it should remain within a reasonable time frame.
*'''If you submit an incident report, you are expected to participate in the process'''. Failure to respond to a CCIA notice of investigation within a week after an agent is assigned to the report may result in rejection.
*Requesting extensions for unavailability and then frequently playing in rounds during the 'unavailability' may be considered evading CCIA action and spark additional action taken.
*Interviews may be conducted on server aboard the SCCV Horizon or through discord should circumstances make an on-server interview difficult.
**'''Please note that discord interviews are typically a last resort and are not preferred'''. This is to ensure authenticity in record keeping with logs which cannot be guaranteed on Discord.
*Antagonists are expected to leave an agent's interview uninterrupted. '''Antagonists may only target an agent during the period after an interview has been completed'''.
**CCIA Agents will typically inform antagonists when an interview is planned and when it ends in AOOC.
*If you end up as an antagonist while escorting an agent, either ahelp or tell the CCIA in LOOC to excuse yourself from being an escort if this will significantly interrupt you.
**Whether an escort or interviewee, turn off antagonist preferences in the character setup menu before joining the round.
*'''Anyone violating an action resulting from an Incident Report will be subject to administrative action.'''

===Outcomes===
When an incident report has concluded, the involved parties will receive notice of the outcome. Categories of employee actions taken are listed below, which is not an exhaustive list. CCIA reserves the right to incorporate multiple as needed, or tailor outcomes to the cases at hand. If you have any questions about the results of your IR, talk with your agent or with the CCIA Leader.

At times, another organization other than the SCCIA may be handling a case, such as the [[Biesellite_Security_and_Law#Biesel_Security_Services_Bureau|Biesel Security Services Bureau]] for federal crime. In these cases, the effective actions are the same as below.

After actions have been take, the only method of changing these actions is by either '''[[#Appeals|appealing]] or making a [https://forums.aurorastation.org/forum/19-staff-complaints/ staff complaint]'''.

'''Coursework'''
*An employee can be assigned to attend in-person or virtual courses for anger management, sensitivity training, conflict resolution, etc.
**These are typically completed off-screen and players are encouraged to include it in their RP where possible.
'''Counseling'''
*A member of HR may choose to mediate over a personal dispute between employees to resolve the issue without further escalation. The offenders, victims, and reporter can attend, as well as any supporting roles such as a Head of Staff or Corporate Liaison. Employees that do not participate earnestly and continue to be problematic may result in further action taken.
'''Reprimands'''
*Typically an official warning marked against an employee's record. In some cases, this can be probation for a period of time or include an injunction.
'''Position Changes'''
*Suspension, demotion, reassignments, and more can affect an employee's position on the Horizon. The range of time varies case to case. Where the employee is reassigned is determined by their record, their corporation, and their department.
**This won't always be enjoyable, we encourage players to talk with us OOC about what they're willing to reasonably play. An agreement that you're more willing to fulfill goes a long way.
'''Termination'''
*Contract termination for the employee who will no longer be employed on the SCCV Horizon. If all else fails in resolving a problematic record with repeat incidents, the employee will essentially be fired.
**Terminations are weighed heavily and something we keep in mind when reviewing a case, as it is the end of the character's story. We strive to stretch it out as much as possible, until the point where its no longer possible for someone of that level to be onboard.

===Appeals===
''Appeals can be made [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/21556-ccia-appeals-forum-rules-and-format-read-before-posting/ here].''

After an Incident Report has ended, you may appeal for a case review or for clemency. In the first case, the IR procedure followed by the agent is reviewed to determine if the correct approach was taken, and if the actions taken are appropriate. In the second case, you admit your character was in the wrong, and appeal to get a reduced penalty. If neither are seem applicable, then an OOC staff complaint should be filed.

There are further restrictions on appeals given their nature. Only post if you are personally appealing a CCIA action applied to your character, not actions applied to another character. Appeal threads are in-character, confidential correspondences between the affected character and the CCIA Appeals Processing office. Disclosing the contents of these threads to other characters may result in IC penalties against the disclosing character.

Minor CCIA actions cannot be appealed. This includes both formal and informal reprimands, and other actions with a duration of one week or less. CCIA appeals are intended for long-term actions that place severe restrictions on a character's behavior. Remember that unlike a ban, in most cases, a CCIA action does not prevent you from playing your character in a round.

Do not post appeals for Incident Reports that have not yet been closed. There will be nothing to review and you will feel silly.

'''All appeal rulings are final when they are declared.'''

'''Contract Terminations may not be appealed.''' If you believe your termination was unfair or invalid you will need to make an OOC [https://forums.aurorastation.org/forum/19-staff-complaints/ staff complaint].

==Review Requests==
''Review Requests can be made [https://forums.aurorastation.org/forum/103-review-requests/ here].''

Review Requests are a means of reporting problematic employee activity based on their records and arrest history that is not captured in a particular incident report. Through Review Requests, you reuqest CCIA to examine and take action as they see proper, based on the employee's records and arrest history. Unlike incident reports, interviews are not required unless a full investigation is deemed necessary by CCIA.

When a review request is submitted, a CCIA agent will be assigned. The CCIA agent will review the character's records, taking into account their arrests, charges, or any pertinent information available. Any charges that were the result of antagonist influence but not marked off will be removed. The agent will determine if an investigation is needed to gather more information. If no investigation is needed, the character in question will be notified of the outcome.

The possible outcomes of a review request are the same as those from an [[#Outcomes|incident report]].

===Guidelines===
*'''Review Requests must strictly be in IC format'''. This is not an OOC complaint section. To file an OOC complaint see the Character/Player Complaints board.
*Review Requests must be made using the format provided [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/21558-review-requests-rules-and-format-read-before-posting/ here].
*Review Requests may not be submitted against antagonists or situations heavily regulated by antagonist action.
*Events that occurred during expeditions in-round are considered to be covered by antagonist-related rules.
*Review Requests are not public record, only the filer or any people who are directly given information about a RR are allowed to speak about them ICly.
*If you have a question regarding the Review Request you wish to file, you may contact any CCIA team member or liaison.
*A request will be dealt with when feasible, do not bump the RR threads or post unnecessarily on them, even if they are unlocked.

==Commendation Reports==
''Commendation Reports can be made [https://forums.aurorastation.org/forum/98-commendation-reports/ here].''

Commendation Reports are a method by which characters can recommend other characters for acknowledgement and rewards for heroic actions. The review process for commendation reports is often simpler than other reports, rarely going beyond what is reported in the request itself. The team as a whole discusses the commendation report and determined one of the following actions:
*Nothing
*Mentioned in Despatches - The most basic recognition, and perhaps the most common one. For employees that are recognised for efforts or participation in them, that do not warrant a medal.
*Corporate Medal - The most basic medal, awarded to all staff for meritorious acts.
*Wound Ribbon and Medal - The award for loss of limb, physical integrity or life in service to the Corporation. The wound ribbon is preceded by the wound medal.
*Medal for Merit - The Medal for Merit is a two class medal, the second class being followed by the first class. Usually awarded to security staff for courageous and meritorious acts.
*Sciences Award - In Silver or Gold, awarded for innovative ideas, discoveries, inventions or breakthroughs in the field of science and robotics.
*Miranda Cross - The highest honour bestowed upon an employee for services to the company, meritorious acts or extraordinary feats.

===Guidelines===
*'''Commendation Reports must strictly be in IC format.'''
*Commendation Reports must be made using the format found [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/14734-commendation-reports-rules-and-format-read-before-posting/ here].
*Commendation Reports may not be submitted in favour of non-Horizon characters or non-canon situations.
**Before submitting, make sure that the situation is being accepted as canon by the involved parties and server rules.
*Commendation Reports may only be submitted by '''Command Staff or a Corporate Liaison/Representative'''.
*Commendation Reports themselves are '''not public knowledge'''. Any commendations, mentions or awards are, once they are granted.
*Do not file Commendation Reports for minor things or for people simply doing their jobs.

|Title = Hadjuk Accuses K’marr of Smuggling, Disloyalty
|Type = Article
|Publisher = Adhomai Liberation Network
|Author/Admin = CatsinHD
|Date = 13/04/2468
|Article = Tensions flared among the Rhaza-Akhranra today following an official declaration from Amohda’s Rhaza-Akhran Rahman Hadjuk. From the provincial seat on Amohda, a series of communications were transmitted to ALA command and the National Assembly with a list of grievances and promises of evidence regarding the activities of the Din’akk’s Rhaza-Akhran Alexeii K’marr. According to staffers in the Hadjuk command structure, this communication comes after a series of arrests at Amohdan ports preventing, among others, smugglers from entering the island’s market with illicit goods. As part of the Rhaza-Akhran’s efforts to stamp out Royalist sentiments in the rebellious island, unregistered goods have become a focal point for ALA soldiers. These efforts have gone as far as the unannounced searches of warehouses across the island, searching for any materials that could supply the Royalist resistance to liberation. These efforts have reportedly done well in the region, with anti-liberation attacks and dissent down to record lows since Rhaza-Akhran Hadjuk was instated.

The communique details a number of grievances from Amohda regarding the Din’akkii commander. However, much of this list can be condensed into two major claims:

-Smuggling
-Disloyalty to the Liberation

According to Hadjuk and Amohdan staffers, a number of illicit goods entering Amohda can be traced back to the Southern Harr’masirr’s glacial border. However, missing proof marks and unfinished manifests suggest that such shipments are not arriving from factories and warehouses from Muhr’fal’s territories. As the Southern Harr’masir region has no spaceports to supply such items, it must be arriving through illegal vessels landing within ALA territories, a fact that was noted as particularly upsetting following the razing of an Al’mariist village in the Din’akk by xeno-corporations. In this same claim, Hadjuk points to the nature of such a vessel having landed in the Din’akk to begin with as a clear sign that such landings can take place with little to no prior detection, unlike the open lands of Southern Harr’masir where such landings would be impossible without detection by ALA radar or scouting reports. Therefore, the illegal goods entering Amohda, threatening ALA control on the island, and disrupting the liberation must be coming from the Din'akk Khaztra, facilitated by Rhaza-Akhran K’marr. In doing so, the Rhaza-Akhran proves disloyalty to Nated and the Liberation, and must be removed from power immediately.

The extensive report was received by ALA command and the National Assembly. So far, no actions have been taken by either structure. The lack of comment thus far from Supreme Commander Nated has placed the situation in a precarious position as Hadjuk has reportedly begun mustering troopers on the island. Rhaza-Akhran Muhr’fal has not commented on the matter officially, beyond a warning that right of passage will not be provided for Amohdan troopers given concerns of further skirmishes within Southern Harr’masir territory, a disruptive occurrence for the local economy.

During the National Assembly session, a number of voices were heard across the chamber regarding the report. Among the many present, Rhaza-Akhranra K’marr and Muhr’fal were both present via holoconference, however as Assemblyman Hahrmaq noted, Rhaza-Akhran Muhr’fal seemed to be riding a zhsram for the duration of the session. Dominating the voices was Ex-interim President Brajrr Alnadruskiy. Brajrr called for caution in approaching the situation. The nature of the matter must address potential collaboration with xeno-organizations, however in doing so threatening the security of the Din’akk’s administration should be chief concern. Many voices called for delaying any action, instead waiting for a decision from Supreme Commander Nated, claiming that only he can truly ascertain the situation and address it in a sufficient way. President Almrah Harrlala strongly disagreed with these calls, stating that a response must be given by the civilian government, or else it has no right to stand. She declared the promise for her administration to draft a response, awaiting further details and evidence from Rhaza-Akhran Hadjuk. Rhaza-Akhran K’marr promised a swift rebuttal to the supposedly slanderous claims of Hadjuk.

{{LoreArticle
|Title = K’marr’s Response! President Harrlala Proposes Action
|Type = Article
|Publisher = Adhomai Liberation Network
|Author/Admin = CatsinHD
|Date = 27/05/2468
|Article = Over a month ago, Rhaza-Akhran Rahman Hadjuk of Amohda released a series of communications to ALA Command and the National Assembly containing accusations of disloyalty and smuggling against the Din’akk Rhaza-Akhran Alexeii K’marr. In the intervening weeks, a series of photos, manifests, and documents have been assembled by Amohdan liberators to support these accusations by the Rhaza-Akhran in a series of documents since dubbed the “Adhal Files”, named for the port from which the majority of the files originate on the northern coast of Amohda. These files have been inspected by numerous figures from the civilian government, ALA command, and AJIC. As of yet, the validity of the evidence and connection to the claims has yet to be made concrete.

Since these claims were made, Rhaza-Akhran Alexeii K’marr has provided his rebuttal to the points made by Rhaza-Akhran Hadjuk. The response itself remains available for public viewing, however due to certain uses of language, it will not be repeated verbatim. In essence, the response rejects in all forms the validity of the claims made. The Din’akk is a net export province of various goods. While export volumes are low, a result of the local population’s rejection of mechanization or other methods of mass-production, those items which are produced may, at times, be shipped to other regions for sale. As the Din’akk is not under the regulation of Shastar, nor has requirements by the Rhaza-Akhran for the use of the proof-marks, the use of such claims is meaningless. Additionally, manifests provided to Amohdan troopers are often not the production of the Din’akk, as all shipments are transferred to Southern Harr’masir businesses for transport. Therefore, any missing items must be added between the transfer of items to Southern Harr’masir businesses and its arrival in Amohda. While not explicitly stated within the response, it is heavily implied the negligence or intent of Rhaza-Akhran Muharajuurl Muhr’fal that additional illegal items were included within shipments, with intent to destabilize Amohda and increase his standing within the ALA structure. The response went on to defame Rhaza-Akhran Hadjuk, questioning his loyalty as a “product of Kaltir’s lies, shown insofar as the inability of the child to contain yet the only lands suffering concerns of Royalist delusions.”

In addition to the response from Rhaza-Akhran K’marr, President Almrah Harrlala has submitted a proposal of action to the National Assembly to address the rising tensions between the southern provinces. The proposal calls for an official investigation, to be carried about jointly between ALA Command and the civilian government. Made of individuals without connection to either Rhaza-Akhran, as stated by the proposal, intent is to remain neutral in the matter and determine if any fault can be placed onto either side for the accusations at hand. Upon proposal to the National Assembly, it was quickly noted by many within the Assembly that the civilian government lacks a sufficient agency to carry out this investigation. An amendment was advised to incorporate the use of the AJIC, in spite of official duties, to carry out the investigation. However, beyond these matters, many voices aligning with Ex-interim President Brajrr Alnadruskiy and Maksum Razin opposed the proposal outright, stating that this matter is solely within the ALA and therefore must remain in the ALA. Attempts by the Shastar government to approach the matter are thoroughly within the realm of overreach. Rather, the Supreme Commander, who has yet to provide comment, must handle the matter solely. The proposal sat on the floor at the end of the session, with the vote on the measure scheduled for a later date.

|Title = National Assembly Votes on Harrlala’s Plan
|Type = Article
|Publisher = Adhomai Liberation Network
|Author/Admin = CatsinHD
|Date = 29/07/2468
|Article = A proposal to see an end to the accusations levied by Rhaza-Akhranra Rahman Hadjuk and Alexeii K’marr has sat within the National Assembly for some time without further consideration. The proposal details an action plan to form an investigative committee for the neutral and thorough investigation of smuggling and disloyalty to the liberation accused by Rhaza-Akhran Hadjuk against Rhaza-Akhran K’marr, as well as the accusation of disloyalty to the liberation accused by K’marr against Hadjuk. Ancillary claims, namely the implied actions of Rhaza-Akhran Muhr’fal in the intentional addition of illegal goods into Din’akk-sourced shipments, or the negligence thereof, have yet to be included in the proposal. However, claims by Harrlala staffers suggest clauses for additional claims that may arise during the investigation are in consideration.

The proposal in its current form calls for the creation of a commission made of AJIC and ALA investigators. The intent is to form a neutral team that would be capable of investigating the matter with little concerns for bias or corruption from the ALA or civilian sides. However, in attempting to remain in the middle, opponents on both sides claim that collusion from the other aisle may result in skewed results. Those within the Worker’s Party have reportedly been hard at work attempting to secure votes on the proposal, leveraging various clauses to gain favor. Earlier today, the proposal was voted on by the National Assembly.

Following a failed attempt to stall the vote by assemblyman Hahzmahr, the proposal was passed with a slim 15 vote margin. Following the confirmation of the results, the director of the AJIC and President Harrlala have begun the process to assemble a commission for the investigation. ALA Mroiikhran Hro’rammhad has pledged a handful of his top investigators to review the matter. Mroiikhran Hotak has done the same, although in doing so has exceeded the requested number of ALA members on the commission. Rhaza-Akhranra Hadjuk and K’marr did not comment on the matter. Both were reportedly unavailable for the assembly session during the time of the vote, both dealing with internal matters of some manner. Rhaza-Akhran Muhr’fal supported the decision pointedly, with reservations on the heavy involvement of the AJIC, but otherwise offering full support and access to Southern Harr’masir lands.

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 Tajaran history is divided into the following periods: Pre-History, Incarnate Dominion, Migration Period, Warring Kings Era, Gunpowder Age, Steeple Peace, and the Galactic Age.

The traditional Tajaran calendar uses the start of the Incarnate Age, in 1158 BCE, as its epoch. The current common era year {{#expr:{{CURRENTYEAR}} + 442}}, would be {{TajYear}} in the Tajaran Calendar. An entire Adhomian year lasts 182 days, with each day lasting a total of 48 hours.

The current Adhomian date is:
{{TajYear}}.{{TajMonth}}.{{TajDay}}

Day {{TajDay}} of {{#switch: {{TajMonth}}
|1 = Menshe-aysaif
|2 = Sil'nryy-aysaif
|3 = Menshe-rhazzimy
|4 = Sil'nryy-rhazzimy}} of the year {{TajYear}}

== Pre-History ==

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 500 BID/1500 BCE.

The south of Ras'nrr, between the Razhar and Khazan mountains, is the cradle of the Tajaran civilization. The first recorded culture is known as the [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Hharar|Proto-Hharar]], they were responsible for the invention of agriculture, writing and the foundations of the religion that would develop into the [[S'rendarr and Messa|S'rand'marr Worship]] and the [[Ma'ta'ke Gods|Ma'ta'ke pantheon]]. 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 the trade of their protection. Urban centers started to appear around places of worship, with Trizar and Mezuma being the most important ones.

In 150 BID/1308 BCE a nomadic horde, also known as the [[Tajaran Ethnicities#M’sai|Proto-M’sai]], migrated into the region of Southern Ras'nrr. Modern archaeological evidence indicates that they were natives from the plains close to the Nraz'i mountains. These new Tajaran people clashed with the sedentary [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Hharar|Proto-Hharar]]. Riding Zhsram into battle and using curved bows as their weapons, they were able to raid the northern territories with little resistance. This threat was only subdued in 25 BI/1183 BCE when the king of Mezuma, '''Dirrnavirr'Almalik''' defeated the nomads in battle.

Instead of expelling or exterminating the invaders, the [[Tajaran Ethnicities#M’sai|Proto-M’sai]] were assimilated into the Tajaran civilization. They were employed as soldiers and enforcers by Dirrnavirr'Almalik; creating the foundations of the modern [[Tajaran Ethnicities#M’sai|M’sai]] ethnicity. The nomadic leaders intermingled with the [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Hharar|Proto-Hharar]] aristocracy, giving birth to the [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Njarir’Akhran|Njarir’Akhran]]. Dirrnavirr'Almalik launched a military campaign against the remaining independent territories, subjugating the entire south of Ras’nrr in twenty-five years. At the end of his conquest, Dirrnavirr proclaimed himself as a living avatar of the Sun gods, adopting the title of Incarnate and inaugurating the start of the '''Incarnate Dominion'''.

== Incarnate Dominion ==

Southern Ras'nrr experienced a long period of prosperity under the rule of the Incarnate, a dynasty of kings that claimed to be the divine manifestation of the Suns themselves. Each Incarnate would adopt the name of Dirrnavirr'Almalik when crowned, affirming to be the continuation of the previous monarch. The fields of metallurgy, science, and religion saw great advances during this age. The holy city of [[S'rendarr and Messa#Sana Sahira|Sana Sahira]] was founded in 150 AI/1008 BCE to serve as the seat of the main priesthood. The urban population grew exponentially, burdening the peasants with increasing demands for food and other materials. In 180 AI/1003 BCE the Incarnate turned his attention to the Tajaran population living at the eastern mountains of Ras'nrr, the [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Zhan-Khazan|Proto-Zhan-Khazan]]. Most of their tribes were subjugated through military mighty; their population was forcefully relocated to the fields and mines of the dominion. Those who managed to escape the abduction adopted a nomadic lifestyle, becoming the [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Rhazar'Hrujmagh|Rhazar'Hrujmagh]].

It was during this time that the caste system, which is still a living part of the Tajaran society, was institutionalized. Each ethnicity had their place and duties enforced by law; interbreeding was punished with death or exile. This social structure would remain in place for the rest of the Tajaran history, only being challenged in modern times. This era lasted until 800 AI/383 BCE, when harsh winters, plagues, and constant revolts caused the collapse of the dominion. The Incarnate dynasty and title came to an end when the last of the divine Kings was assassinated by a group of rebellious peasants. The kingdom of Mezuma was then split into several city-states and territories controlled by nobles. This disaster marked the start of the '''Migration Period'''.

== Migration Period ==

Due to the difficult conditions at Southern Ras’nrr, several noble families, accompanied by their serfs and retinues, migrated to other regions of Adhomai to establish their own kingdoms, towns, and fiefs. The rest of Ras'nrr was settled by the first wave of migrants, establishing societies similar to the ones that they experienced in the south. Amohda and Das'nrra were reached using paths of ice created by the harsh winters. The first settlers of those islands organized themselves into villages based around fishing and archaic shipwright. The continent of Harr'masir was left uninhabited during this period, even if Amohdan sailors were aware of its existence.

The lack of central leadership strengthened the priesthood, changing the religion that venerated the deceased God-King into the [[S'rendarr and Messa#The Parivara|church of S'rand'marr]]. The concept of the Incarnate as the avatar of the Suns was abandoned; Dirrnavirr'Almalik was now considered only a prophet or a great leader by the priests. The theology of the faith shifted to justifying the existence of the caste system, alongside legitimizing the rule of the nobility. The Migration Period came to an end in 1270 AI/88 CE with the foundation of Shastar kingdom in Das'nrra. With the severe winters coming to an end, the new monarchies started to expand and compete with each other, inaugurating the '''Warring Kings Era'''.

== Warring Kings Era ==

[[File:Ihan manuscript.png|thumbnail|A page from the 'Krrat Mi'ah kin ia Trr'au' detailing the defeat of I'han III the king of Nazira in 1186 CE. A group of 'traitors' perform a ritual leading to the king gouging his eyes out. It is considered an explanation of the king's insanity, likely a result of lead poisoning.]]

This age was marked by the expansion and the constant warring between the monarchies established after the end of the Migration Period. Advances in farming, medicine, and construction techniques allowed the population numbers to blossom once more, encouraging further territorial expansion. The countless kings started to compete with each other, subjugating all independent towns and cities found in the way. The power and importance of the nobility grew even stronger; most of the population was forced into a state of servitude in the fields.

The system of serfdom characteristic of this age - named '''Ras'nrr Model''' by historians - would be enforced until the end of the first Tajaran civil war. [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Zhan-Khasan|Zhan-Khazan]] and [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Hharar|Hharar]] peasants would work in large plantations and mines owned by the [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Njarir'Akhran|Njarir'Akhran]] nobles. Serfs had no political rights, social mobility, or access to education. The [[Tajaran Ethnicities#M'sai|M'sai]] were the designated martial caste, serving as soldiers and law enforcers under the service of the nobility. The few existing cities were usually inhabited by free artisans, unlanded nobles, merchants, clergy, or philosophers. Most of the major conflicts happened between 1270 AI/88 CE and 1900 AI/718 CE, at this point most of the territories were under the control of the major monarchies. A long period of relative peace followed, with trade between countries starting to flourish. [[Crevus]] in the Kingdom of Das’nrra, initially a small fishing town founded during the Migration Period, was indispensable in establishing naval trade routes between Das'nrra, Ras'nrr, and Amohda. The richest nobles families in [[Crevus]] played an important role in the kingdom's politics at the time, influencing the king into investing in ambitious expeditions to explore the seas of Adhomai.

In 2107 AI/925 CE the first colony, a settlement that would become the city of Baltor, was founded in Harr'masir as a result of an expedition financed by the Kingdom of Das'nrra. For the next few years, several other colonies were established into the continents by many of the Adhomian kingdoms. This new competition for territories sparked another period of conflicts, referred to as the '''Colonial Wars of Harr'masir''', between those states. Many peasants and noble families were relocated to these new lands, serving as their settlers and guardians. The politics of displacement and the constant warfare created a powerful feeling of resentment in the colonists of Harr'masir.

The Colonial Wars of Harr'masir came to an abrupt end in 2378 AI/1286 CE, when an ambitious [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Rhazar'Hrujmagh|Rhazar'Hrujmagh]] caravan elder started a campaign of conquest against the nations of South Ras’nrr. '''Tajrhalrr Jrruzhani''' was a famous nomad mercenary of his time, that managed to acquire a large fortune under the service of the Kingdoms of Mezuma and Nazira. Using his experience and wealth he was able to unite several nomadic caravans under his control. Tajrhalrr Jrruzhani waged war against Mezuma and Nazira, subjugating both by making use of a mobile force of Zhan Nomads armed with bows and spears. The [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Rhazar'Hrujmagh|Rhazar'Hrujmagh]] created the title of '''Almalik’Rhazar''', meaning “King of the Mountains”, denoting his rule over all of his people. The Nomadic domain disintegrated after the death of Tajrhalrr, divided between his sons and generals. While the kings of Ras’nrr turned their attention to the Nomadic threat, many nobles administrating the colonies at the east saw this as an opportunity. The continent of Harr'masir erupted into several wars of independence. Those conflicts would last until 2512 AI/1420 CE, resulting in all nations, except the Kingdom of Nal'tor, losing their territories at Harr'masir.

This later period of violence favored the development of new military technologies, among them the invention of gunpowder, rustic firearms, and cannons. The first use of field guns in 2537 AI/1445 CE marked the end of the Warring Kings Era. This discovery changed the battlefields of Adhomai, inaugurating the '''Gunpowder Age'''.

== Gunpowder Age ==

The Gunpowder Age was marked by the slow replacement of traditional Adhomian battle tactics and weapons, which included melee weapons and crossbows, in favor of cannons and primitive firing lines. The Kingdoms of Amohda, Nal’tor, and Das’nrra were the first countries to make use of this new technology.

During this period, many kings had the ambition of uniting their continents or regions under their rule. This aspiration gave birth to large and powerful states, with each of their rulers claiming to be the '''Kings of Kings'''. Long and destructive wars were waged with the goal of uniting those territories. The use of massive cannons barrages, early firearms, and bayonet charges were a common sight in battle. [[Tajaran Minor Religions#The Suns War of Harr'masir|The Suns War of Harr'masir]] is an example of one of those early conflicts. Three main empires emerged during this period: the Amohdan Empire, the Das'nrra Empire, and Rasn'rr Empire.

Even with technological 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 recent military campaigns. The first writings against the serfdom and caste systems started to appear around 2800 AI/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 2824 AI/1756 CE favored the spread of anti-monarchist pamphlets. Owning a copy of an unapproved text was a capital crime.

Despite the best efforts of the monarchies, a large underground ring of revolutionaries was formed in the Das’nrra Empire. Philosophers, merchants, peasants, and a few landless nobles were united against the old ways. This movement was led by a Tajara known as '''Alzran Ekhranrar'''. A revolt happened in 2945 AI/1877 CE, with several cities experiencing combat between imperial troops and rebels fighting against the monarchy.

The other kingdoms, fearing the victory of rebellion, sent military expeditions to help the Empire of Das'nrra. The revolution was defeated in 2951 AI/1883 CE, with the revolutionaries defeated and Alzran Ekhranrar hanged for his crimes. The regimes, now aware of more dangerous enemies than themselves, created a way to secure their rule over Adhomai. The '''Steeple''' was established in Nal'tor; it was an internal embassy where the countries of Adhomai would resolve their disputes through diplomacy, creating a robust intelligence system aimed at subduing any threat to the world order. This event started the '''Steeple Peace'''.

== Steeple Peace ==

The Steeple Peace is a period marked for centuries of peace between the Adhomian kingdoms, slow and controlled development of technologies, and systematic repression of the population. The tension between the peasantry and nobility continued to worsen, resulting in further enactment of more harsh regulations. Adhomai underwent a form of industrialization with the creation and proliferation of the steam engine in 3022 AI/1954 CE. This forced the peasants into harsh new laborious professions, digging in mines and working 18 hour days building rail lines for private use by the [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Njarir’Akhran|Njarir’Akhran]] nobility. Laws were soon enacted that banned any commoners from utilizing electricity or riding on trains.

Thirty years before 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 wary of the unification of many Tajaran workers who demanded greater rights, seeing themselves in what could be accounted as another 'Renaissance' era and result in more 'enlightened' individuals straining their already crumbling control over the populace.

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 before. This is 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 3360 AI/2292 CE. Using a combustion engine much like primitive human vehicles, with extra anti-freezing measures and thick treads, one of the first 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 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 designed 'snow bicycles', regardless of how far they were from their place of work.

Further restrictions of the rights of the individual Tajara were enacted by a furious nobility after several instances of violence against [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Njarir’Akhran|Njarir’Akhran]], but specific information on these incidents has been lost. Legislations were 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.

This came in the form of human discovery in 3576 AI/2418 CE. A [[Sol Alliance]] funded expedition into the Tajaran home system discovered the pre-space age species and their homeworld of Adhomai. The first contact with these aliens started the '''Galactic Age'''.

= Modern History =

== First Contact ==

[[File:AdhomaiAncientRegimesNames.png|300px|thumb|Political map of Adhomai before the first contact]]

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. It was due to this that several corporations 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 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 '''3578 AI/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 that 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.

'''2418:'''

*A [[Sol Alliance]] funded expedition arrived in the S'rand'marr system and made the first contact with the Tajara. The first landing was made in [[Crevus]] and local nobles entertained the alien visitors. The meeting was kept a secret but rumors spread on the Das'nrra continent. A few weeks later, diplomats from the [[Sol Alliance]] and the [[Nralakk Federation]] met with Adhomai's global community in Nal'Tor to establish diplomatic ties. Each representative was given apartments in the '''Steeple''' to serve as a working embassy. The international nobility continued to keep the meetings with aliens a secret, but someone leaked the information to the outside world and rumors swept the cities. The governments finally decided to make formal announcements about the discovery of aliens, sending shock waves through urban centers across Adhomai. Rural peasantry remained apathetic, but across the first week, six thousand Tajara killed themselves from the shock of the event. Nobility actively inhibited the proliferation of alien media to the masses but were quick to negotiate trade deals for high technology oddities. After several mega-corporations, especially NanoTrasen, attempted to lure several states into imperial ambitions the '''Steeple''' successfully petitioned the [[Sol Alliance]] to prevent open interference with the governments of Adhomai.

'''2420:'''

*Groups of Tajaran intellectuals, primarily young nobility and high-standing Hharar, conspired for liberalized governments. Many took refuge off the planet where they learned of human ideals, and returned to Adhomai to spread them. Small-scale insurgencies broke out across the planet as the stability of the old order began to show cracks. The language of Siik'tajr was born as a means of covert communication between dissidents.

</div></div>

==Pre-Revolution Adhomian Kingdoms==

*'''Rasn'rr Empire:''' one of the largest pre-revolution empires and home of the Steeple. While a major power throughout history, the Rasn'rr empire was reduced to a corrupt-ridden and highly decentralized realm later into the Steeple Peace age. Because of its extensive territory, the nobility was given a higher degree of autonomy to facilitate the administration; this practice slowly corroded away the monarchy’s authority. The Emperor of Rasn’rr was nothing but a ceremonial position whose role was to inaugurate the diplomatic meetings at the Steeple. The Rasn'rr Empire was internally divided into tens of kingdoms, duchies, and counties. The empire's cities - such as the capital of Nal'tor - were undergoing a quick urbanization process due to the industrial revolution. Rasn'rr was the only Adhomian power to maintain its colony in Harr'masir. The area around Baltor was heavily militarized in preparation for the reconquest of the continent; a plan that never came to fruition. Widespread infighting and back-stabbing during the First Revolution greatly weakened the Empire; many nobles changed sides during the conflict in an attempt to remain in power. The house of Rrhakaslov, the ruling dynasty of the Rasn’rr Empire since the Gunpowder age, was slaughtered by the revolutionaries. Some nobles survived the war by joining the rebels, forfeiting their titles, or by escaping to Northern Harr'masir. Most of its admiralty and civil administration were pardoned and recruited by the Hadii dynasty.

*'''Das'nrra Empire:''' a historic naval power that started the colonization of Harr'masir and dominated much of the trade Sum'add Ocean trade. Because of its rich coal reserves, dense demographics, and accumulated wealth, the Das’nrra Empire was the birthplace of the Adhomian industrial revolution. The nation had a sizable industry and urban working population before human discovery. Despite these advances, only the nobility profited from the industrialization; workers were subject to constant abuse and exploitative labor conditions. This mistreatment, coupled with a history of previous rebellions against the Njarir, created the perfect environment for the uprisings during the First Revolution. The main branch of the Shastariin dynasty, the reigning house of Das'nrra, was purged by the rebels during the revolution. Some local nobles and members of the cadet branches managed to escape by fleeing to Crevus.

*'''Amohdan Empire:''' a maritime and militarized empire known for its warrior culture. Previously involved in wars and invasions of the Harr'masir mainland during the Gunpowder Age, the Amohdan Empire limited its military campaign to anti-piracy activities during the Steeple Peace. Without real enemies to fight, the Amohdan swordsman, once an essential part of the empire's military, quickly became a symbol of the power and decadence of the Njarir and its M’sai vassals. These fighters roamed the island in search of duels to display their skills; they were also allowed to kill any peasant without repercussions. Most of the rural population was involved in fishing and subsistence agriculture. The industry present in Amohda was solely focused on shipbuilding and gunsmithing. The Imperial House of Amohda, the Khrazma'zur dynasty, was supposedly exterminated by the peasant rebellions during the First Revolution. However, many Amohdans claim to be direct descendants of the previous ruling family; these individuals are usually involved with the royalist cause in Bar'jar.

*'''Holy Mezuma Empire:''' ruled by a dynasty claiming direct ancestry to Dirrnavirr'Almalik, the Holy Mezuma Empire was deeply involved with Njarir'Akhran Worship. The peasantry was heavily taxed and constantly drafted to build sumptuous mausoleums. The royal family lived secluded in the luxury of their palaces, avoiding any contact with the masses to maintain an aura of divinity. Even before the First Contact, the Empire of Mezuma was considered a backward country by the rest of the Adhomian nations. All of the wealth acquired through mining and farming was seized by the royalty to fuel their megalomaniac rituals. While the Njarir nobility worshipped the King of Kings to gain his favor, the population grew resentful of his ways. The Imperial authorities also violently persecuted the local Rhazar'Hrujmagh. All of this neglect and abuse gave birth to one of the first powderkegs to explode during the First Revolution. The Holy Almalik dynasty perished during the revolution. Since then, no one has ever claimed to be a descendant of this infamous bloodline.

*'''Hadii Hegemony:''' built upon strict absolutist principles, the Hadii Hegemony was a centralized state governed by a single noble house. Unlike the other Adhomian countries that relied on hereditary nobility to manage their lands, the Hadii dynasty instead had a system of appointed officials. All the land ultimately belonged to the monarch and no other Njarir'Akhran was granted political power. Its people were under constant vigilance by the M’sai enforces; any kind of disobedience was harshly punished. Peasants were rewarded for reporting anyone plotting against the crown. The Hadii Hegemony was quick to adopt the industrial revolution; much of its production was destined towards the military. While successful in quelling any rebellions inside their own territory, the Hadii fortress came under attack by outside forces. To prevent their destruction, the dynasty betrayed their fellow Njarir by making a deal with the rebels. The Hadii dynasty survived the revolution and became the rulers of the People’s Republic of Adhomai. However, they abandoned their noble heritage in favor of Hadiism.

*'''Kingdom of Nazira:''' renowned as the protector of the holy city of Sana Sahira, the Kingdom of Nazira had a deep and sometimes troubled relationship with the Church of S'rand'marr. Because of its proximity to the headquarter of the religion, the Kingdom was the main recruiting grounds for the clergy and Kin of S'rendarr forces. While theoretically independent from each other, the King and the Father were constantly at odds. The church tried to exercise its influence by condemning or supporting the King’s actions. In turn, the Monarch attempted to restrict the Father’s temporal authority through the control of the territory around Sana Sahira and by sending his dynasty’s members to serve as part of the clergy. The power struggle came to an end with the First Revolution: the Church remained neutral as the Kingdom of Nazira was toppled by the revolutionaries. The house of Tamaljahrl ruled the Kingdom of Nazira. Its few surviving members escaped death by joining the Church of S'rand'marr’s ranks.

*'''Zatushka Kingdom:''' created as a buffer state between the Rasn’rr Empire and the Hadii Hegemony, the Zatushka Kingdom was a rural nation based on agriculture and logging. Because of its climate and rich soil, the Kingdom was considered Rasn’rr’s breadbasket. Zatushka avoided the majority of the industrialization as the nobility disliked modernity. To maintain exports to the other nations, the population was subject to long work hours and brutal conditions on the plantations. The Kingdom was the stage of intense guerilla activity during the First Revolution; the rebels made excellent use of its northern forest to organize hit-and-run attacks. Even today, Tajaran partisan tactics are mostly derivated from the ones used by the fighters of Zatushka. The Huniady dynasty ruled the Zatushka Kingdom before the rebellions. Anyone that survived the Njarir massacres either joined the Hadii or forfeit its noble heritage to survive.

*'''Duchy of Shungsta:''' a small but wealthy state in Northern Rasn’rr. The Duchy of Shungsta was a prosperous agrarian country before the industrial revolution. Due to its proximity to the Hadii Hegemony and the Das’nrra Empire, it managed to acquire a sizable industry before Human Contact. Its urban workers were subject to conditions considered harsh even by Adhomian standards. Several rebellious movements emerged in Shungsta during the First Civil war; the [[Himeo#Free Tajaran Council|Free Tajaran Council]] is a notable example. A branch of the Shastariin dynasty ruled Shungsta until its conquest by the Hadii. Few nobles survived by joining the Hadiist administration after renouncing their origins.

*'''Kingdom of Kaltir:''' originally a colony of the Kingdom of Nal'tor established during the Warring Kings Era, the kingdom grew to become a maritime power able to rival its old metropole. As a result of previous noble and peasant revolts, the Kingdom of Kaltir was one of the few Adhomian states of its time to have laws restricting the powers of the crown and the nobility. This pseudo-constitutionalism protected the people from the most extreme abuses but was not enough to fully free them. Despite having a growing industry, agriculture and clam farming were Kaltir’s main economic activities. Further concessions were given to the commoners during the First Revolution to avoid uprisings. The Azunja dynasty sat on the throne of Kaltir until its capitulation. Some of its members survived the revolts and now govern the New Kingdom of Adhomai.

*'''Duchy of S'rendul:''' famous for its cattle industry and carpet-weaving, the Duchy of S’rendul was an agrarian realm located in the large plains of Southern Harr'masir. Thanks to the N’hanzafu herders and low population density, the nobility had loose control over its subjects. Law enforcement and tribute collecting depended on unreliable M’sai ranchers. The little present industry was focused on rug production. Because of its plain geography, the Duchy of S’rendul saw the first deployments of armored vehicles in the First Revolution. The Duchy of S’rendul was governed by the Moruzir dynasty. Some nobles escaped the massacres by fleeing to the Kingdom of Kaltir.

*'''Duchy of Dolor:''' despite owning a sizable territory, the Duchy of Dolor was severely limited in its land-use due to southeast wetlands. After failed attempts to drain the swamps, the ruling dynasty decided to embrace the industrial revolution. The capital of Dolor was quickly transformed into an urban landscape dotted with factories. Peasants were forcibly moved into barracks to serve as the workforce. This careless industrialization caused an upheaval in the fields; overworked peasants revolted constantly and famines soon followed. The nobility paid little attention to the suffering of their commoners as they had access to exports from Zatushka. The Duchy of Dolor was the birthplace of one of the largest rebellious movements during the First Revolution. A cadet house of the Rrhakaslov dynasty ruled the Duchy of Dolor until their death at the hands of the rebels. Few nobles survived by escaping to the Kingdom of Kaltir.

*'''Rhazjkara Refuge:''' unlike the other regions of Adhomai, the Rhazjkara Refuge was never unified under a single ruler. The valley remained divided between independent counts, adventures, local leaders, and nomadic caravans. Because of its unique species, Rhazjkara was frequently visited by hunting enthusiasts. Infighting between the local rulers broke out during the First Revolution. The valley was easily subjugated by the Hadii. The Rhazjkara nobles that survived the conflict did so by joining the People’s Republic or by going into hiding.

*'''[[Crevus|Free City of Crevus]]:''' once an important merchant republic, the Free City of Crevus was reduced to a mere touristic attraction during the Steeple Peace. Under the protection of the Das’nrra Empire, Crevus kept its independence. The free city sustained itself through its casinos and other means. Because of the lack of an expressive working class in Crevus, it avoided any kind of rebellion during the First Revolution. The city would later support the People’s Republic to survive. The noble families of Crevus have abandoned their noble heritage, but continue to control the city’s politics.

==The Uprisings==
[[File:Soldiers in palace.jpg|thumb|300px|right|First Revolution revolutionaries in a Njarir palace after defeating its loyalist defenders.]]

It took little more than a year for a formal uprising to be staged. In 3579 AI/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.

However, they found themselves in a cornered position. Weapons and supplies were being shipped 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 that drew closer and closer to the capital cities of each providence. 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 unique tools and even blueprints of other families' castles, pointing out weak points and infiltration spots.

It was this turn coating that tipped the revolution in favor of the peasantry. 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 3588 AI/2431 CE the revolution had finally come to an end with a total of more than 92 million casualties with more than half of that 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 the First Revolution, the Hadii emerged as the victorious faction. They had annexed, through diplomacy or war, the remaining factions. Human corporations took an express interest in the Hadii dynasty; they were one of the few noble families who saw profit in human stakes on Adhomai, and many back-room deals were made to secure the Hadii's position in the new Government. In 2432 CE', the [[People's Republic of Adhomai]] was officially declared, with '''Al'mari Hadii''', also known as Rhagrrhuzau Hadii, as its leader. The Tajaran public was markedly distressed by this turn of 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, had a monopoly over the majority of the planet's valuables. Collaboration between the People's Republic, the Sol Alliance, and the Nralakk Federation have resulted in more technological advances in Tajaran society recently than ever before in their recorded history. The People's Republic began campaigns to quickly industrialize Adhomai and educate its people. Approval ratings for the current leadership rose in response.

===First Revolution Timeline===
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
'''2421:'''

*The Great Revolution erupted following the '''D'as'ral Massacre'''. Nobles across the planet declared martial law in retaliation and mobilized their armies.

*In southern Ras'nrr, disgruntled and oppressed Zhan-Khazan populations along the Zhan mountains joined forces with impoverished dilettante Njarir-Ahkran seeking to restore former glory. The ancient city of Mezuma became the birthplace of the "People's Emancipation Movement." Weeks later, the city of Trizar joined the movement after a coup d'etat. After a hasty organization, the rebel army moved north and besieged Nazira.

*In the city of Orul, factories were closed by the military for their role as meeting places for dissidents to meet and organize. The workers were all sent home without pay. An event known as the "Poorhouse Riots" occurred as the starving and impoverished took to the streets. After three days of violence, the city was conquered by its rebellious poor which formed the "Republic of Free Tajara." All Njarir-Ahkran who failed to evacuate were executed.

'''2422:'''

*The city of Nazira was taken by the People's Emancipation Movement. Rebel units continued to enforce martial law and rationed food. Soup kitchens and bread lines became hotbeds for riots, many ending in massacres by the rebel military. Recruitment into the rebel military surged following the introduction of incentives that offered better food rations for soldiers and their families. Noble forces made several offensives over the next two years from Mal'jor military base, in order to retake the city. None succeeded in reaching the city outskirts, despite large casualties on both sides.

*The city of Orul was reconquered and occupied by loyalist forces based out of Zatushka. The Republic of Free Tajara carried out a series of insurgent activities ranging from sniper attacks of officers to using improvised explosive devices on the streets. Unable to bear the burden of witnessing the crimes against Tajara and citing "unprecedented barbarity," the noble in charge of the occupying forces withdrew from the city. His name was '''Tajrhalrr Hadii'''. The Republic of Free Tajara propagandized the event as having repulsed monarchist invaders and began rapidly reconstructing their war potential.

'''2424:'''

*The Republic of Free Tajara and the People's Emancipation Movement formed a unified "Ras'nrr Confederacy of Free Republics." The new confederacy launched a coordinated offensive to conquer the equatorial region of the Ras'nrr continent.

*The Das'nrra continent balkanized as various regional nobles attempted to secure the throne for themselves. The Empire was weakened from providing large amounts of financial support to monarchist forces on Ras'nrr, and the Imperial Military had to be recalled from B'urr where it had been preparing the defense of the city. The King of Kings himself disappeared during the fighting and was never seen again. An international coalition of monarchist forces formed and attempted to restore order on the continent.

*The military base at Baltor severed ties with its government across the ocean at Nal'Tor. The base became the home of a military dictatorship under its M'sai general. The rogue general marched on the Kingdom of Kaltir, seeking to rapidly expand his holdings. The city of Olska was taken by surprise and brutally subjugated. The Kaltir Expeditionary Force, which has been deployed to Das'nrra to suppress noble revolts, was recalled to the Harr'masir continent.

'''2425:'''

*Loyalist forces left B'urr to oncoming rebels without a fight. The city of Tampiska as well as vital roads to Nal'Tor were heavily reinforced by these units, and the navy stationed at B'urr was deployed to aid loyalist forces for the Das'nrra Empire.

*Rebels based out of Orul overran Mal'Jor military base. The loyalists retreated to Tampiska, further enhancing its fortifications. Rather than pursuing, the Orul Rebels changed their focus northward and besieged Zatushka. This siege would later be discovered to be a feint for a different offensive.

*The Kaltir Expeditionary force seized Baltor through the first major amphibious assault in Tajaran history. The city of Olska was liberated by the end of the year, with cheering citizens praising the King and celebrations filling the streets.

*A peasant revolt from the rural areas around Dolor seized the city, naming themselves the "Liberated People's of Harr'masir." Their coastal area to the west was quickly assaulted by the Empire of Amohda, which sought to reconquer their ancestral lands.

'''2426:'''

*The surviving monarchies adopted the Sol Alliance Credit as their official currency in an attempt to curry favor for international support. The move failed to gather public support as many Tajara did not have enough wealth to afford the currency trade-ins.

*The Siege of Tampiska began after months of artillery battles. Hordes of rebels attacked the city in waves as building to building combat lead to the bloodiest urban conflict of the war.

*Castle Hadii, the stronghold of the Hadii Family, came under siege in a surprise attack following an arduous rebel march through the Nraz'i mountains. The small garrison of the immense citadel held strong until forces recalled from the abandoned Zatushka base broke the rebel siege. '''Tajrhalrr Hadii''' died in the fighting, leaving his eldest son, '''Al'mari Hadii''', at the head of the Hadii dynasty. Rebel forces that had taken Zatushka followed the recalled army and renewed the siege shortly after the last was broken. The siege only ended when the young Al'mari truck a deal with the rebels, giving blueprints to other noble fortresses, information about other armies, and loyalty in exchange for immunity and protection. Forces of the Hadii family withdrew from Das'nrra and began subjugating monarchist forces north of Hadii lands.

*Fighting on Das'nrra led to the collapse of most noble families involved in the fighting. The coalition of noble forces from across Adhomai which sought to restore order was forced to disband as rebels on various homefronts forced the withdrawal of each army. Based out of the capital of Shastar City, anti-monarchist rebels calling themselves the Das'nrra Resistance Movement formed and gained momentum against the tired noble armies.

*The Liberated People's of Harr'masir surrounded and destroyed the invading army of the Empire of Amohda, before moving northwards to defend against an offensive by the Kingdom of Kaltir.

'''2427:'''

*The Das'nrra Resistance Movement rapidly absorbed much of the continent, marketing themselves as a beacon of stability and sanity among the autocratic madness. By employing principles of Tajarism and providing humane treatment of occupied populations, the movement became popular among the masses who had suffered through the atrocities of the noble infighting. Any noble families who did not surrender were executed, while their subjects were treated with kindness as liberated Tajara.

*The Empire of Amohda began a second invasion of the western coast of Harr'masir, seeking to put pressure on the rebels to aid the Kingdom of Kaltir. The armies of Kaltir defeated the Liberated Peoples of Harr'masir, besieging the retreated army at Dolor.

*The Hadii Faction subjugated the northern areas of Ras'nrr before stationing their soldiers at various fortresses and beginning large-scale mobilization of populations under the control. The Faction lobbied successfully under Confederate Command to place the Republic of Free Tajara and all of its holdings under the Hadii's jurisdiction.

*The Free Tajaran Council is defeated by the Hadiist forces. Its leader, Volin Kar'etrink, flees Adhomai with its remaining members.

'''2428:'''

*The Das'nrra Resistance Movement and the Ras'nrr Confederacy formed an alliance and became the Western Coalition of Free Adhomai. The resistance movement finalized its conquest of the Das'nrra continent and began a naval bombardment of Nal'Tor. Near the end of the year, of Siege of Tampiska drew to a close. The Siege of Nal'Tor began after the last remaining western monarchists retreated to the city.

*The armies of the Empire of Amohda and Kaltir joined together for the Siege of Dolor, but the rebels manage to maintain their defense.

'''2429:'''

*The Western Coalition of Free Adhomai and the Liberated People's of Harr'masir formed an alliance, changing their name tentatively to the Coalition of Free Adhomai. Navies of the Western Coalition sailed west across the Nas'kin Ocean to invade Kaltir. The force was intercepted by the navies of the Kingdom of Kaltir supplemented by the Empire of Ahmoda, which had crossed the Ras'val canal. Monarchist navies were triumphant, sinking most of the rebel fleet. A second rebel fleet sailed east across the Sum'add Ocean and blockaded Amohdan ports.

*The city of Dolor was retaken by nobility forces. All rebels and their sympathizers were offered amnesty. Although many accepted, some refused on ideological grounds and were imprisoned for treason.

'''2430:'''

*The city of Nal'Tor was taken by rebel forces after the surrender of its defenders. The rebel fleet prepared for a large-scale amphibious invasion of Harr'masir. Weakened by a year of starvation from the blockade of its ports and the destruction of the fishing operations, the Empire of Amohda was defeated by a combination of peasant revolts and invading rebels. The island became the staging point for a planned invasion of Harr'masir as rebel forces gathered.

*The fleet of the Kingdom of Kaltir engaged rebel naval forces on the western coast of Harr'masir south of Baltor. After the battle lasted over 72 hours, the Kingdom's navy was finally sunk.

*The Free Tajaran Council settles on Himeo.

'''2431:'''

*All Adhomian monarchies except the Kingdom of Kaltir were overthrown by rebels. Following what is considered the end of the "Great Revolution," most of the rebel groups joined under '''Al'mari Hadii's''' faction to form the [[People's Republic of Adhomai]].

*The city of Orul, the People's Emancipation Movement, and other proponents of confederacy rose in rebellion to the federalization of the Coalition of Free Adhomai. The city of Orul was quickly and brutally occupied by the armies of the Hadii Faction which had remained home as the defensive force for the Ras'nrr Continent. Soldiers of the Dasn'rra Resistance Movement, which had joined under the Hadii's rule, suppressed units of other forces where they had all gathered on Amohda. The newly formed Republican Army under Hadii's command marched south to suppress the undefended cities of the People's Emancipation Movement and cement the rule of the People's Republic.

'''2432:'''

*The Hadii Faction was able to finalize the suppression and subjugation of all other rebel groups and began preparing to resume the amphibious invasion of Harr'masir.

*The Kingdom of Kaltir capitulated to People's Republic rule before an invasion could be performed. Despite popular requests for amnesty and peace from the Kingdom, many of the nobility were executed. '''Farkhanzirhal Azunja''' imprisoned his 32-year-old son, [[Notable Tajara#King Vahzirthaamro Azunja|Vahzirthaamro Azunja]], in order to hide him during the executions. The People's Republic of Adhomai became the lone global government of Adhomai.
</div></div>

==Interwar Period==

The period following the First Revolution was marked by massive changes. Education campaigns carried out by the People's Republic of Adhomai nearly eliminated illiteracy. With the help of megacorporations, the PRA was able to quickly industrialize. However, this help came at the cost of surrendering many of the Adhomian natural resources and workforce to the corporations. This deeply divided Al'mari's supporters into two groups: those who believed that external help was necessary to uplift the Tajara people and those who saw the corporations as parasites holding back Adhomai. These two factions were kept in check through the use of the national secret service, political maneuvers, and political purges.

In Northern Harr'masir, supporters of the previous ruling dynasty were slowly organizing themselves. The Royalists, fighting in the name of the house of Azunja, began to infiltrate the People's Republic institutions in the area. In a matter of years, the underground monarchist movement controlled most of the civil administration and local army barracks. The People's Republic was aware of the brewing rebellion, however, due to the distance from the capital and lack of collaboration with the civilian population, they were unable to locate its ringleaders.

The concept of the monolithic Hadiist culture was born during the Interwar period. In an attempt to unite the Tajaran people, the People's Republic suppressed regional identities and cultures. Siik'maas was chosen to be the official and only national language; with the exception of Siik'Tajr, used for military purposes, it was the language taught in school. Rock Nomads were being settled in communal farms. These policies angered the most conservative elements of the Adhomian society.

In the end, Al'mari sided with the anti-corporation faction with his economic reforms. This move proved to be deeply popular with those who were profiting from the corporate presence in Adhomai. He 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, Al'mari made clear his intentions to make Adhomai independent until it was ready to take on the burden of interstellar politics.

</div></div>

==The Second Revolution==

The disagreements and hatred of the Hadii republican government had led to insurrection and treachery among Adhomai's major power figures since Al'mari'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, Al'mari Hadii. In 2451 CE, during a military parade, President Al'mari was assassinated by Tufir Nazzirai. A known secret service agent of the People's Republic, the radical was swiftly sentenced to death for his betrayal, which claimed to be brought on by the rebellious intent of the Kaltiran people. His brother and vice-president Njadrasanukii Hadii, also known as Malik Hadii, quickly assumed the office of the presidency and immediately passed brutal laws that punished the Kaltir lands and subversive elements, including the Ruvska’ard that Tufir Nazzirai was once classified as. 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.

While Al'mari implemented his new policies, the People's Republic saw the return of a surviving dynasty, the Azunja, in the form of an uprising in its most remote region. This faction, the New Kingdom of Adhomai, attempted to bring back monarchism to Adhomai through a constitutional monarchy. Bolstered by the recent crackdown on their people, there was no shortage of supporters that quickly overwhelmed the local Republican presence.

Many military generals who had fought for the Republic soon defected under the banner of the Adhomai Liberation Army, the leader of which being Al'mari's old friend and ally, '''Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan''', who claimed that he wanted to take control of the People's Republic to finally out Al'mari's legacy. "His gun was on stun" became the rallying cry of Nated's fiercest supporters 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.

With these two rebellions, Adhomai found itself embroiled in yet another global conflict.

'''2449:'''

*[[Notable Tajara#King Vahzirthaamro Azunja|Vahzirthaamro Azunja]] and his retinue of intellectuals were released from prison in secret in the middle of the night. They traveled the Kaltir region, gathering support for an independence movement. Copies of a constitution with the title "The New Kingdom" circulated by underground printing presses, and were praised by many locals for its generous civil liberties. Rumors spread of a [[New Kingdom of Adhomai]]. People's Strategic Intelligence Service Agents were unable to locate and take Azunja into custody.

===Adhomai Today===
[[File:Adhomaimodernmap.png|300px|thumb|A map of modern-day Adhomai.]]

The Tajaran homeworld 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 in 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 that they are kept that 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 [[Tajaran Military Structures#The S'rand'marr Coalition|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 the Nralakk Federation. 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 now competing with each other for supremacy through a cold war.

After the first successful nuclear test by the Democratic People's Republic in 2463, the specter of a possible nuclear war haunts Adhomai.

William Murdoch: /* Group Position */

{{WIP|assign=William Murdoch}}
During missions and expeditions, group cohesion and management is an essential part of ensuring mission success. Organizational structures and tools used to keep cohesion and accomplish mission goals are called Command and Communications, Command and Control, or simply C2 systems. One such system exists for use by ship command to organize, direct, and track crew members on away missions to avoid chaos.

INSERT MECHANICS HERE

==Group Position==
One of the most important aspects of the C2 system is the relative position of each team member. This is typically tied to team cohesion, which itself is vital for proper operations. Periodically, every 2 second, the C2 system will check each member's location within a team. It compares this location to that of the other members, and determines clusters of members and isolated members. Take the following example, where letters A through G represent members of a team.

<pre>
[A]---[B]---[C]- - - - [D] [E]--[F] [G]
^----------GROUP1----------^ ^-GROUP2-^ ^-GROUP3-^
(Primary Group) (Detached Subgroup) (Isolate)
</pre>

Members that are close together will form groups. As seen, A, B, C, and D are close enough together to form GROUP1. E and F are close enough to each other to form GROUP2, but far enough from GROUP1 to be considered a separate cluster. Finally, member G is far enough from both GROUP1 and GROUP2, but is alone and therefore an isolate. If, during the next C2 update, GROUP2 had traveled close enough to GROUP1, the groups would merge into a single group.

The primary group is always wherever the Team Leader is located, in this example that is member A. Every other group are called 'detached subgroups'. Members that are alone are called 'isolates'.

Distance is shown in the above examples as the dash marks (-). Those close together show compact dash marks, while those starting to lag behind are seen with spaced out dash marks. This represents relative distance to the group, which is displayed on the program as "Close" or "Extended". Should, in this example, member D continue to the right, they will go from "Extended" to detached from GROUP1 and become an isolate. This allows for oversight of team cohesion.

One of the most important aspects of the C2 system is the relative position of each team member. This is typically tied to group cohesion, which itself is vital for proper operations. In order to determine relative position accurately, groups are treated as a topology. Each crew member is a node, or a point. The relationship between these nodes are edges. If crew members are close enough, an edge is created. If they are too far apart, the edge is broken. This creates three categories: primary group, subgroup, and isolate.

During missions and expeditions, group cohesion and management is an essential part of ensuring mission success. Organizational structures and tools used to keep cohesion and accomplish mission goals are called Command and Communications, Command and Control, or simply C2 systems. One such system exists for use by ship command to organize, direct, and track crew members on away missions to avoid chaos.

==Group Position==
One of the most important aspects of the C2 system is the relative position of each team member. This is typically tied to group cohesion, which itself is vital for proper operations. In order to determine relative position accurately, groups are treated as a topology. Each crew member is a node, or a point. The relationship between these nodes are edges. If crew members are close enough, an edge is created. If they are too far apart, the edge is broken. This creates three categories: primary group, subgroup, and isolate.

^----------GROUP1----------^ ^-GROUP2-^ ^-GROUP3-^
(Primary Group) (Detached Subgroup) (Isolate)
</pre>

Every 2 seconds, the C2 system will check the distance between each member. If members are close enough, they will form a group and be displayed as such. The primary group is always wherever the Team Leader is located. Every other group are called 'detached subgroups'. Members that are alone are called 'isolates'.

Edges are shown in the above examples as the dash marks (-). Those close together show compact dash marks, while those starting to lag behind are seen with spaced out dash marks. This represents relative distance to the group, which is displayed on the program as "Close" or "Extended". Should, in this example, member D continue to the right, they will go from "Extended" to detached from GROUP1 and become an isolate. This allows for oversight of team cohesion.

Tajaran History

= Pre-Contact History =

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 Tajaran history is divided into the following periods: Pre-History, Incarnate Dominion, Migration Period, Warring Kings Era, Gunpowder Age, Steeple Peace, and the Galactic Age.

The traditional Tajaran calendar uses the start of the Incarnate Age, in 1158 BCE, as its epoch. The current common era year {{#expr:{{CURRENTYEAR}} + 442}}, would be {{TajYear}} in the Tajaran Calendar. An entire Adhomian year lasts 182 days, with each day lasting a total of 48 hours.

The current Adhomian date is:
{{TajYear}}.{{TajMonth}}.{{TajDay}}

Day {{TajDay}} of {{#switch: {{TajMonth}}
|1 = Menshe-aysaif
|2 = Sil'nryy-aysaif
|3 = Menshe-rhazzimy
|4 = Sil'nryy-rhazzimy}} of the year {{TajYear}}

== Pre-History ==

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 500 BID/1500 BCE.

The south of Ras'nrr, between the Razhar and Khazan mountains, is the cradle of the Tajaran civilization. The first recorded culture is known as the [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Hharar|Proto-Hharar]], they were responsible for the invention of agriculture, writing and the foundations of the religion that would develop into the [[S'rendarr and Messa|S'rand'marr Worship]] and the [[Ma'ta'ke Gods|Ma'ta'ke pantheon]]. 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 the trade of their protection. Urban centers started to appear around places of worship, with Trizar and Mezuma being the most important ones.

In 150 BID/1308 BCE a nomadic horde, also known as the [[Tajaran Ethnicities#M’sai|Proto-M’sai]], migrated into the region of Southern Ras'nrr. Modern archaeological evidence indicates that they were natives from the plains close to the Nraz'i mountains. These new Tajaran people clashed with the sedentary [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Hharar|Proto-Hharar]]. Riding Zhsram into battle and using curved bows as their weapons, they were able to raid the northern territories with little resistance. This threat was only subdued in 25 BI/1183 BCE when the king of Mezuma, '''Dirrnavirr'Almalik''' defeated the nomads in battle.

Instead of expelling or exterminating the invaders, the [[Tajaran Ethnicities#M’sai|Proto-M’sai]] were assimilated into the Tajaran civilization. They were employed as soldiers and enforcers by Dirrnavirr'Almalik; creating the foundations of the modern [[Tajaran Ethnicities#M’sai|M’sai]] ethnicity. The nomadic leaders intermingled with the [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Hharar|Proto-Hharar]] aristocracy, giving birth to the [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Njarir’Akhran|Njarir’Akhran]]. Dirrnavirr'Almalik launched a military campaign against the remaining independent territories, subjugating the entire south of Ras’nrr in twenty-five years. At the end of his conquest, Dirrnavirr proclaimed himself as a living avatar of the Sun gods, adopting the title of Incarnate and inaugurating the start of the '''Incarnate Dominion'''.

== Incarnate Dominion ==

Southern Ras'nrr experienced a long period of prosperity under the rule of the Incarnate, a dynasty of kings that claimed to be the divine manifestation of the Suns themselves. Each Incarnate would adopt the name of Dirrnavirr'Almalik when crowned, affirming to be the continuation of the previous monarch. The fields of metallurgy, science, and religion saw great advances during this age. The holy city of [[S'rendarr and Messa#Sana Sahira|Sana Sahira]] was founded in 150 AI/1008 BCE to serve as the seat of the main priesthood. The urban population grew exponentially, burdening the peasants with increasing demands for food and other materials. In 180 AI/1003 BCE the Incarnate turned his attention to the Tajaran population living at the eastern mountains of Ras'nrr, the [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Zhan-Khazan|Proto-Zhan-Khazan]]. Most of their tribes were subjugated through military mighty; their population was forcefully relocated to the fields and mines of the dominion. Those who managed to escape the abduction adopted a nomadic lifestyle, becoming the [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Rhazar'Hrujmagh|Rhazar'Hrujmagh]].

It was during this time that the caste system, which is still a living part of the Tajaran society, was institutionalized. Each ethnicity had their place and duties enforced by law; interbreeding was punished with death or exile. This social structure would remain in place for the rest of the Tajaran history, only being challenged in modern times. This era lasted until 800 AI/383 BCE, when harsh winters, plagues, and constant revolts caused the collapse of the dominion. The Incarnate dynasty and title came to an end when the last of the divine Kings was assassinated by a group of rebellious peasants. The kingdom of Mezuma was then split into several city-states and territories controlled by nobles. This disaster marked the start of the '''Migration Period'''.

== Migration Period ==

Due to the difficult conditions at Southern Ras’nrr, several noble families, accompanied by their serfs and retinues, migrated to other regions of Adhomai to establish their own kingdoms, towns, and fiefs. The rest of Ras'nrr was settled by the first wave of migrants, establishing societies similar to the ones that they experienced in the south. Amohda and Das'nrra were reached using paths of ice created by the harsh winters. The first settlers of those islands organized themselves into villages based around fishing and archaic shipwright. The continent of Harr'masir was left uninhabited during this period, even if Amohdan sailors were aware of its existence.

The lack of central leadership strengthened the priesthood, changing the religion that venerated the deceased God-King into the [[S'rendarr and Messa#The Parivara|church of S'rand'marr]]. The concept of the Incarnate as the avatar of the Suns was abandoned; Dirrnavirr'Almalik was now considered only a prophet or a great leader by the priests. The theology of the faith shifted to justifying the existence of the caste system, alongside legitimizing the rule of the nobility. The Migration Period came to an end in 1270 AI/88 CE with the foundation of Shastar kingdom in Das'nrra. With the severe winters coming to an end, the new monarchies started to expand and compete with each other, inaugurating the '''Warring Kings Era'''.

== Warring Kings Era ==

[[File:Ihan manuscript.png|thumbnail|A page from the 'Krrat Mi'ah kin ia Trr'au' detailing the defeat of I'han III the king of Nazira in 1186 CE. A group of 'traitors' perform a ritual leading to the king gouging his eyes out. It is considered an explanation of the king's insanity, likely a result of lead poisoning.]]

This age was marked by the expansion and the constant warring between the monarchies established after the end of the Migration Period. Advances in farming, medicine, and construction techniques allowed the population numbers to blossom once more, encouraging further territorial expansion. The countless kings started to compete with each other, subjugating all independent towns and cities found in the way. The power and importance of the nobility grew even stronger; most of the population was forced into a state of servitude in the fields.

The system of serfdom characteristic of this age - named '''Ras'nrr Model''' by historians - would be enforced until the end of the first Tajaran civil war. [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Zhan-Khasan|Zhan-Khazan]] and [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Hharar|Hharar]] peasants would work in large plantations and mines owned by the [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Njarir'Akhran|Njarir'Akhran]] nobles. Serfs had no political rights, social mobility, or access to education. The [[Tajaran Ethnicities#M'sai|M'sai]] were the designated martial caste, serving as soldiers and law enforcers under the service of the nobility. The few existing cities were usually inhabited by free artisans, unlanded nobles, merchants, clergy, or philosophers. Most of the major conflicts happened between 1270 AI/88 CE and 1900 AI/718 CE, at this point most of the territories were under the control of the major monarchies. A long period of relative peace followed, with trade between countries starting to flourish. [[Crevus]] in the Kingdom of Das’nrra, initially a small fishing town founded during the Migration Period, was indispensable in establishing naval trade routes between Das'nrra, Ras'nrr, and Amohda. The richest nobles families in [[Crevus]] played an important role in the kingdom's politics at the time, influencing the king into investing in ambitious expeditions to explore the seas of Adhomai.

In 2107 AI/925 CE the first colony, a settlement that would become the city of Baltor, was founded in Harr'masir as a result of an expedition financed by the Kingdom of Das'nrra. For the next few years, several other colonies were established into the continents by many of the Adhomian kingdoms. This new competition for territories sparked another period of conflicts, referred to as the '''Colonial Wars of Harr'masir''', between those states. Many peasants and noble families were relocated to these new lands, serving as their settlers and guardians. The politics of displacement and the constant warfare created a powerful feeling of resentment in the colonists of Harr'masir.

The Colonial Wars of Harr'masir came to an abrupt end in 2378 AI/1286 CE, when an ambitious [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Rhazar'Hrujmagh|Rhazar'Hrujmagh]] caravan elder started a campaign of conquest against the nations of South Ras’nrr. '''Tajrhalrr Jrruzhani''' was a famous nomad mercenary of his time, that managed to acquire a large fortune under the service of the Kingdoms of Mezuma and Nazira. Using his experience and wealth he was able to unite several nomadic caravans under his control. Tajrhalrr Jrruzhani waged war against Mezuma and Nazira, subjugating both by making use of a mobile force of Zhan Nomads armed with bows and spears. The [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Rhazar'Hrujmagh|Rhazar'Hrujmagh]] created the title of '''Almalik’Rhazar''', meaning “King of the Mountains”, denoting his rule over all of his people. The Nomadic domain disintegrated after the death of Tajrhalrr, divided between his sons and generals. While the kings of Ras’nrr turned their attention to the Nomadic threat, many nobles administrating the colonies at the east saw this as an opportunity. The continent of Harr'masir erupted into several wars of independence. Those conflicts would last until 2512 AI/1420 CE, resulting in all nations, except the Kingdom of Nal'tor, losing their territories at Harr'masir.

This later period of violence favored the development of new military technologies, among them the invention of gunpowder, rustic firearms, and cannons. The first use of field guns in 2537 AI/1445 CE marked the end of the Warring Kings Era. This discovery changed the battlefields of Adhomai, inaugurating the '''Gunpowder Age'''.

== Gunpowder Age ==

The Gunpowder Age was marked by the slow replacement of traditional Adhomian battle tactics and weapons, which included melee weapons and crossbows, in favor of cannons and primitive firing lines. The Kingdoms of Amohda, Nal’tor, and Das’nrra were the first countries to make use of this new technology.

During this period, many kings had the ambition of uniting their continents or regions under their rule. This aspiration gave birth to large and powerful states, with each of their rulers claiming to be the '''Kings of Kings'''. Long and destructive wars were waged with the goal of uniting those territories. The use of massive cannons barrages, early firearms, and bayonet charges were a common sight in battle. [[Tajaran Minor Religions#The Suns War of Harr'masir|The Suns War of Harr'masir]] is an example of one of those early conflicts. Three main empires emerged during this period: the Amohdan Empire, the Das'nrra Empire, and Rasn'rr Empire.

Even with technological 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 recent military campaigns. The first writings against the serfdom and caste systems started to appear around 2800 AI/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 2824 AI/1756 CE favored the spread of anti-monarchist pamphlets. Owning a copy of an unapproved text was a capital crime.

Despite the best efforts of the monarchies, a large underground ring of revolutionaries was formed in the Das’nrra Empire. Philosophers, merchants, peasants, and a few landless nobles were united against the old ways. This movement was led by a Tajara known as '''Alzran Ekhranrar'''. A revolt happened in 2945 AI/1877 CE, with several cities experiencing combat between imperial troops and rebels fighting against the monarchy.

The other kingdoms, fearing the victory of rebellion, sent military expeditions to help the Empire of Das'nrra. The revolution was defeated in 2951 AI/1883 CE, with the revolutionaries defeated and Alzran Ekhranrar hanged for his crimes. The regimes, now aware of more dangerous enemies than themselves, created a way to secure their rule over Adhomai. The '''Steeple''' was established in Nal'tor; it was an internal embassy where the countries of Adhomai would resolve their disputes through diplomacy, creating a robust intelligence system aimed at subduing any threat to the world order. This event started the '''Steeple Peace'''.

== Steeple Peace ==

The Steeple Peace is a period marked for centuries of peace between the Adhomian kingdoms, slow and controlled development of technologies, and systematic repression of the population. The tension between the peasantry and nobility continued to worsen, resulting in further enactment of more harsh regulations. Adhomai underwent a form of industrialization with the creation and proliferation of the steam engine in 3022 AI/1954 CE. This forced the peasants into harsh new laborious professions, digging in mines and working 18 hour days building rail lines for private use by the [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Njarir’Akhran|Njarir’Akhran]] nobility. Laws were soon enacted that banned any commoners from utilizing electricity or riding on trains.

Thirty years before 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 wary of the unification of many Tajaran workers who demanded greater rights, seeing themselves in what could be accounted as another 'Renaissance' era and result in more 'enlightened' individuals straining their already crumbling control over the populace.

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 before. This is 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 3360 AI/2292 CE. Using a combustion engine much like primitive human vehicles, with extra anti-freezing measures and thick treads, one of the first 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 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 designed 'snow bicycles', regardless of how far they were from their place of work.

Further restrictions of the rights of the individual Tajara were enacted by a furious nobility after several instances of violence against [[Tajaran Ethnicities#Njarir’Akhran|Njarir’Akhran]], but specific information on these incidents has been lost. Legislations were 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.

This came in the form of human discovery in 3576 AI/2418 CE. A [[Sol Alliance]] funded expedition into the Tajaran home system discovered the pre-space age species and their homeworld of Adhomai. The first contact with these aliens started the '''Galactic Age'''.

= Modern History =

== First Contact ==

[[File:AdhomaiAncientRegimesNames.png|300px|thumb|Political map of Adhomai before the first contact]]

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. It was due to this that several corporations 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 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 '''3578 AI/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 that 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.

'''2418:'''

*A [[Sol Alliance]] funded expedition arrived in the S'rand'marr system and made the first contact with the Tajara. The first landing was made in [[Crevus]] and local nobles entertained the alien visitors. The meeting was kept a secret but rumors spread on the Das'nrra continent. A few weeks later, diplomats from the [[Sol Alliance]] and the [[Nralakk Federation]] met with Adhomai's global community in Nal'Tor to establish diplomatic ties. Each representative was given apartments in the '''Steeple''' to serve as a working embassy. The international nobility continued to keep the meetings with aliens a secret, but someone leaked the information to the outside world and rumors swept the cities. The governments finally decided to make formal announcements about the discovery of aliens, sending shock waves through urban centers across Adhomai. Rural peasantry remained apathetic, but across the first week, six thousand Tajara killed themselves from the shock of the event. Nobility actively inhibited the proliferation of alien media to the masses but were quick to negotiate trade deals for high technology oddities. After several mega-corporations, especially NanoTrasen, attempted to lure several states into imperial ambitions the '''Steeple''' successfully petitioned the [[Sol Alliance]] to prevent open interference with the governments of Adhomai.

'''2420:'''

*Groups of Tajaran intellectuals, primarily young nobility and high-standing Hharar, conspired for liberalized governments. Many took refuge off the planet where they learned of human ideals, and returned to Adhomai to spread them. Small-scale insurgencies broke out across the planet as the stability of the old order began to show cracks. The language of Siik'tajr was born as a means of covert communication between dissidents.

</div></div>

==Pre-Revolution Adhomian Kingdoms==

*'''Rasn'rr Empire:''' one of the largest pre-revolution empires and home of the Steeple. While a major power throughout history, the Rasn'rr empire was reduced to a corrupt-ridden and highly decentralized realm later into the Steeple Peace age. Because of its extensive territory, the nobility was given a higher degree of autonomy to facilitate the administration; this practice slowly corroded away the monarchy’s authority. The Emperor of Rasn’rr was nothing but a ceremonial position whose role was to inaugurate the diplomatic meetings at the Steeple. The Rasn'rr Empire was internally divided into tens of kingdoms, duchies, and counties. The empire's cities - such as the capital of Nal'tor - were undergoing a quick urbanization process due to the industrial revolution. Rasn'rr was the only Adhomian power to maintain its colony in Harr'masir. The area around Baltor was heavily militarized in preparation for the reconquest of the continent; a plan that never came to fruition. Widespread infighting and back-stabbing during the First Revolution greatly weakened the Empire; many nobles changed sides during the conflict in an attempt to remain in power. The house of Rrhakaslov, the ruling dynasty of the Rasn’rr Empire since the Gunpowder age, was slaughtered by the revolutionaries. Some nobles survived the war by joining the rebels, forfeiting their titles, or by escaping to Northern Harr'masir. Most of its admiralty and civil administration were pardoned and recruited by the Hadii dynasty.

*'''Das'nrra Empire:''' a historic naval power that started the colonization of Harr'masir and dominated much of the trade Sum'add Ocean trade. Because of its rich coal reserves, dense demographics, and accumulated wealth, the Das’nrra Empire was the birthplace of the Adhomian industrial revolution. The nation had a sizable industry and urban working population before human discovery. Despite these advances, only the nobility profited from the industrialization; workers were subject to constant abuse and exploitative labor conditions. This mistreatment, coupled with a history of previous rebellions against the Njarir, created the perfect environment for the uprisings during the First Revolution. The main branch of the Shastariin dynasty, the reigning house of Das'nrra, was purged by the rebels during the revolution. Some local nobles and members of the cadet branches managed to escape by fleeing to Crevus.

*'''Amohdan Empire:''' a maritime and militarized empire known for its warrior culture. Previously involved in wars and invasions of the Harr'masir mainland during the Gunpowder Age, the Amohdan Empire limited its military campaign to anti-piracy activities during the Steeple Peace. Without real enemies to fight, the Amohdan swordsman, once an essential part of the empire's military, quickly became a symbol of the power and decadence of the Njarir and its M’sai vassals. These fighters roamed the island in search of duels to display their skills; they were also allowed to kill any peasant without repercussions. Most of the rural population was involved in fishing and subsistence agriculture. The industry present in Amohda was solely focused on shipbuilding and gunsmithing. The Imperial House of Amohda, the Khrazma'zur dynasty, was supposedly exterminated by the peasant rebellions during the First Revolution. However, many Amohdans claim to be direct descendants of the previous ruling family; these individuals are usually involved with the royalist cause in Bar'jar.

*'''Holy Mezuma Empire:''' ruled by a dynasty claiming direct ancestry to Dirrnavirr'Almalik, the Holy Mezuma Empire was deeply involved with Njarir'Akhran Worship. The peasantry was heavily taxed and constantly drafted to build sumptuous mausoleums. The royal family lived secluded in the luxury of their palaces, avoiding any contact with the masses to maintain an aura of divinity. Even before the First Contact, the Empire of Mezuma was considered a backward country by the rest of the Adhomian nations. All of the wealth acquired through mining and farming was seized by the royalty to fuel their megalomaniac rituals. While the Njarir nobility worshipped the King of Kings to gain his favor, the population grew resentful of his ways. The Imperial authorities also violently persecuted the local Rhazar'Hrujmagh. All of this neglect and abuse gave birth to one of the first powderkegs to explode during the First Revolution. The Holy Almalik dynasty perished during the revolution. Since then, no one has ever claimed to be a descendant of this infamous bloodline.

*'''Hadii Hegemony:''' built upon strict absolutist principles, the Hadii Hegemony was a centralized state governed by a single noble house. Unlike the other Adhomian countries that relied on hereditary nobility to manage their lands, the Hadii dynasty instead had a system of appointed officials. All the land ultimately belonged to the monarch and no other Njarir'Akhran was granted political power. Its people were under constant vigilance by the M’sai enforces; any kind of disobedience was harshly punished. Peasants were rewarded for reporting anyone plotting against the crown. The Hadii Hegemony was quick to adopt the industrial revolution; much of its production was destined towards the military. While successful in quelling any rebellions inside their own territory, the Hadii fortress came under attack by outside forces. To prevent their destruction, the dynasty betrayed their fellow Njarir by making a deal with the rebels. The Hadii dynasty survived the revolution and became the rulers of the People’s Republic of Adhomai. However, they abandoned their noble heritage in favor of Hadiism.

*'''Kingdom of Nazira:''' renowned as the protector of the holy city of Sana Sahira, the Kingdom of Nazira had a deep and sometimes troubled relationship with the Church of S'rand'marr. Because of its proximity to the headquarter of the religion, the Kingdom was the main recruiting grounds for the clergy and Kin of S'rendarr forces. While theoretically independent from each other, the King and the Father were constantly at odds. The church tried to exercise its influence by condemning or supporting the King’s actions. In turn, the Monarch attempted to restrict the Father’s temporal authority through the control of the territory around Sana Sahira and by sending his dynasty’s members to serve as part of the clergy. The power struggle came to an end with the First Revolution: the Church remained neutral as the Kingdom of Nazira was toppled by the revolutionaries. The house of Tamaljahrl ruled the Kingdom of Nazira. Its few surviving members escaped death by joining the Church of S'rand'marr’s ranks.

*'''Zatushka Kingdom:''' created as a buffer state between the Rasn’rr Empire and the Hadii Hegemony, the Zatushka Kingdom was a rural nation based on agriculture and logging. Because of its climate and rich soil, the Kingdom was considered Rasn’rr’s breadbasket. Zatushka avoided the majority of the industrialization as the nobility disliked modernity. To maintain exports to the other nations, the population was subject to long work hours and brutal conditions on the plantations. The Kingdom was the stage of intense guerilla activity during the First Revolution; the rebels made excellent use of its northern forest to organize hit-and-run attacks. Even today, Tajaran partisan tactics are mostly derivated from the ones used by the fighters of Zatushka. The Huniady dynasty ruled the Zatushka Kingdom before the rebellions. Anyone that survived the Njarir massacres either joined the Hadii or forfeit its noble heritage to survive.

*'''Duchy of Shungsta:''' a small but wealthy state in Northern Rasn’rr. The Duchy of Shungsta was a prosperous agrarian country before the industrial revolution. Due to its proximity to the Hadii Hegemony and the Das’nrra Empire, it managed to acquire a sizable industry before Human Contact. Its urban workers were subject to conditions considered harsh even by Adhomian standards. Several rebellious movements emerged in Shungsta during the First Civil war; the [[Himeo#Free Tajaran Council|Free Tajaran Council]] is a notable example. A branch of the Shastariin dynasty ruled Shungsta until its conquest by the Hadii. Few nobles survived by joining the Hadiist administration after renouncing their origins.

*'''Kingdom of Kaltir:''' originally a colony of the Kingdom of Nal'tor established during the Warring Kings Era, the kingdom grew to become a maritime power able to rival its old metropole. As a result of previous noble and peasant revolts, the Kingdom of Kaltir was one of the few Adhomian states of its time to have laws restricting the powers of the crown and the nobility. This pseudo-constitutionalism protected the people from the most extreme abuses but was not enough to fully free them. Despite having a growing industry, agriculture and clam farming were Kaltir’s main economic activities. Further concessions were given to the commoners during the First Revolution to avoid uprisings. The Azunja dynasty sat on the throne of Kaltir until its capitulation. Some of its members survived the revolts and now govern the New Kingdom of Adhomai.

*'''Duchy of S'rendul:''' famous for its cattle industry and carpet-weaving, the Duchy of S’rendul was an agrarian realm located in the large plains of Southern Harr'masir. Thanks to the N’hanzafu herders and low population density, the nobility had loose control over its subjects. Law enforcement and tribute collecting depended on unreliable M’sai ranchers. The little present industry was focused on rug production. Because of its plain geography, the Duchy of S’rendul saw the first deployments of armored vehicles in the First Revolution. The Duchy of S’rendul was governed by the Moruzir dynasty. Some nobles escaped the massacres by fleeing to the Kingdom of Kaltir.

*'''Duchy of Dolor:''' despite owning a sizable territory, the Duchy of Dolor was severely limited in its land-use due to southeast wetlands. After failed attempts to drain the swamps, the ruling dynasty decided to embrace the industrial revolution. The capital of Dolor was quickly transformed into an urban landscape dotted with factories. Peasants were forcibly moved into barracks to serve as the workforce. This careless industrialization caused an upheaval in the fields; overworked peasants revolted constantly and famines soon followed. The nobility paid little attention to the suffering of their commoners as they had access to exports from Zatushka. The Duchy of Dolor was the birthplace of one of the largest rebellious movements during the First Revolution. A cadet house of the Rrhakaslov dynasty ruled the Duchy of Dolor until their death at the hands of the rebels. Few nobles survived by escaping to the Kingdom of Kaltir.

*'''Rhazjkara Refuge:''' unlike the other regions of Adhomai, the Rhazjkara Refuge was never unified under a single ruler. The valley remained divided between independent counts, adventures, local leaders, and nomadic caravans. Because of its unique species, Rhazjkara was frequently visited by hunting enthusiasts. Infighting between the local rulers broke out during the First Revolution. The valley was easily subjugated by the Hadii. The Rhazjkara nobles that survived the conflict did so by joining the People’s Republic or by going into hiding.

*'''[[Crevus|Free City of Crevus]]:''' once an important merchant republic, the Free City of Crevus was reduced to a mere touristic attraction during the Steeple Peace. Under the protection of the Das’nrra Empire, Crevus kept its independence. The free city sustained itself through its casinos and other means. Because of the lack of an expressive working class in Crevus, it avoided any kind of rebellion during the First Revolution. The city would later support the People’s Republic to survive. The noble families of Crevus have abandoned their noble heritage, but continue to control the city’s politics.

==The Uprisings==
[[File:Soldiers in palace.jpg|thumb|300px|right|First Revolution revolutionaries in a Njarir palace after defeating its loyalist defenders.]]

It took little more than a year for a formal uprising to be staged. In 3579 AI/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.

However, they found themselves in a cornered position. Weapons and supplies were being shipped 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 that drew closer and closer to the capital cities of each providence. 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 unique tools and even blueprints of other families' castles, pointing out weak points and infiltration spots.

It was this turn coating that tipped the revolution in favor of the peasantry. 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 3588 AI/2431 CE the revolution had finally come to an end with a total of more than 92 million casualties with more than half of that 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 the First Revolution, the Hadii emerged as the victorious faction. They had annexed, through diplomacy or war, the remaining factions. Human corporations took an express interest in the Hadii dynasty; they were one of the few noble families who saw profit in human stakes on Adhomai, and many back-room deals were made to secure the Hadii's position in the new Government. In 2432 CE', the [[People's Republic of Adhomai]] was officially declared, with '''Al'mari Hadii''', also known as Rhagrrhuzau Hadii, as its leader. The Tajaran public was markedly distressed by this turn of 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, had a monopoly over the majority of the planet's valuables. Collaboration between the People's Republic, the Sol Alliance, and the Nralakk Federation have resulted in more technological advances in Tajaran society recently than ever before in their recorded history. The People's Republic began campaigns to quickly industrialize Adhomai and educate its people. Approval ratings for the current leadership rose in response.

===First Revolution Timeline===
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
'''2421:'''

*The Great Revolution erupted following the '''D'as'ral Massacre'''. Nobles across the planet declared martial law in retaliation and mobilized their armies.

*In southern Ras'nrr, disgruntled and oppressed Zhan-Khazan populations along the Zhan mountains joined forces with impoverished dilettante Njarir-Ahkran seeking to restore former glory. The ancient city of Mezuma became the birthplace of the "People's Emancipation Movement." Weeks later, the city of Trizar joined the movement after a coup d'etat. After a hasty organization, the rebel army moved north and besieged Nazira.

*In the city of Orul, factories were closed by the military for their role as meeting places for dissidents to meet and organize. The workers were all sent home without pay. An event known as the "Poorhouse Riots" occurred as the starving and impoverished took to the streets. After three days of violence, the city was conquered by its rebellious poor which formed the "Republic of Free Tajara." All Njarir-Ahkran who failed to evacuate were executed.

'''2422:'''

*The city of Nazira was taken by the People's Emancipation Movement. Rebel units continued to enforce martial law and rationed food. Soup kitchens and bread lines became hotbeds for riots, many ending in massacres by the rebel military. Recruitment into the rebel military surged following the introduction of incentives that offered better food rations for soldiers and their families. Noble forces made several offensives over the next two years from Mal'jor military base, in order to retake the city. None succeeded in reaching the city outskirts, despite large casualties on both sides.

*The city of Orul was reconquered and occupied by loyalist forces based out of Zatushka. The Republic of Free Tajara carried out a series of insurgent activities ranging from sniper attacks of officers to using improvised explosive devices on the streets. Unable to bear the burden of witnessing the crimes against Tajara and citing "unprecedented barbarity," the noble in charge of the occupying forces withdrew from the city. His name was '''Tajrhalrr Hadii'''. The Republic of Free Tajara propagandized the event as having repulsed monarchist invaders and began rapidly reconstructing their war potential.

'''2424:'''

*The Republic of Free Tajara and the People's Emancipation Movement formed a unified "Ras'nrr Confederacy of Free Republics." The new confederacy launched a coordinated offensive to conquer the equatorial region of the Ras'nrr continent.

*The Das'nrra continent balkanized as various regional nobles attempted to secure the throne for themselves. The Empire was weakened from providing large amounts of financial support to monarchist forces on Ras'nrr, and the Imperial Military had to be recalled from B'urr where it had been preparing the defense of the city. The King of Kings himself disappeared during the fighting and was never seen again. An international coalition of monarchist forces formed and attempted to restore order on the continent.

*The military base at Baltor severed ties with its government across the ocean at Nal'Tor. The base became the home of a military dictatorship under its M'sai general. The rogue general marched on the Kingdom of Kaltir, seeking to rapidly expand his holdings. The city of Olska was taken by surprise and brutally subjugated. The Kaltir Expeditionary Force, which has been deployed to Das'nrra to suppress noble revolts, was recalled to the Harr'masir continent.

'''2425:'''

*Loyalist forces left B'urr to oncoming rebels without a fight. The city of Tampiska as well as vital roads to Nal'Tor were heavily reinforced by these units, and the navy stationed at B'urr was deployed to aid loyalist forces for the Das'nrra Empire.

*Rebels based out of Orul overran Mal'Jor military base. The loyalists retreated to Tampiska, further enhancing its fortifications. Rather than pursuing, the Orul Rebels changed their focus northward and besieged Zatushka. This siege would later be discovered to be a feint for a different offensive.

*The Kaltir Expeditionary force seized Baltor through the first major amphibious assault in Tajaran history. The city of Olska was liberated by the end of the year, with cheering citizens praising the King and celebrations filling the streets.

*A peasant revolt from the rural areas around Dolor seized the city, naming themselves the "Liberated People's of Harr'masir." Their coastal area to the west was quickly assaulted by the Empire of Amohda, which sought to reconquer their ancestral lands.

'''2426:'''

*The surviving monarchies adopted the Sol Alliance Credit as their official currency in an attempt to curry favor for international support. The move failed to gather public support as many Tajara did not have enough wealth to afford the currency trade-ins.

*The Siege of Tampiska began after months of artillery battles. Hordes of rebels attacked the city in waves as building to building combat lead to the bloodiest urban conflict of the war.

*Castle Hadii, the stronghold of the Hadii Family, came under siege in a surprise attack following an arduous rebel march through the Nraz'i mountains. The small garrison of the immense citadel held strong until forces recalled from the abandoned Zatushka base broke the rebel siege. '''Tajrhalrr Hadii''' died in the fighting, leaving his eldest son, '''Al'mari Hadii''', at the head of the Hadii dynasty. Rebel forces that had taken Zatushka followed the recalled army and renewed the siege shortly after the last was broken. The siege only ended when the young Al'mari truck a deal with the rebels, giving blueprints to other noble fortresses, information about other armies, and loyalty in exchange for immunity and protection. Forces of the Hadii family withdrew from Das'nrra and began subjugating monarchist forces north of Hadii lands.

*Fighting on Das'nrra led to the collapse of most noble families involved in the fighting. The coalition of noble forces from across Adhomai which sought to restore order was forced to disband as rebels on various homefronts forced the withdrawal of each army. Based out of the capital of Shastar City, anti-monarchist rebels calling themselves the Das'nrra Resistance Movement formed and gained momentum against the tired noble armies.

*The Liberated People's of Harr'masir surrounded and destroyed the invading army of the Empire of Amohda, before moving northwards to defend against an offensive by the Kingdom of Kaltir.

'''2427:'''

*The Das'nrra Resistance Movement rapidly absorbed much of the continent, marketing themselves as a beacon of stability and sanity among the autocratic madness. By employing principles of Tajarism and providing humane treatment of occupied populations, the movement became popular among the masses who had suffered through the atrocities of the noble infighting. Any noble families who did not surrender were executed, while their subjects were treated with kindness as liberated Tajara.

*The Empire of Amohda began a second invasion of the western coast of Harr'masir, seeking to put pressure on the rebels to aid the Kingdom of Kaltir. The armies of Kaltir defeated the Liberated Peoples of Harr'masir, besieging the retreated army at Dolor.

*The Hadii Faction subjugated the northern areas of Ras'nrr before stationing their soldiers at various fortresses and beginning large-scale mobilization of populations under the control. The Faction lobbied successfully under Confederate Command to place the Republic of Free Tajara and all of its holdings under the Hadii's jurisdiction.

*The Free Tajaran Council is defeated by the Hadiist forces. Its leader, Volin Kar'etrink, flees Adhomai with its remaining members.

'''2428:'''

*The Das'nrra Resistance Movement and the Ras'nrr Confederacy formed an alliance and became the Western Coalition of Free Adhomai. The resistance movement finalized its conquest of the Das'nrra continent and began a naval bombardment of Nal'Tor. Near the end of the year, of Siege of Tampiska drew to a close. The Siege of Nal'Tor began after the last remaining western monarchists retreated to the city.

*The armies of the Empire of Amohda and Kaltir joined together for the Siege of Dolor, but the rebels manage to maintain their defense.

'''2429:'''

*The Western Coalition of Free Adhomai and the Liberated People's of Harr'masir formed an alliance, changing their name tentatively to the Coalition of Free Adhomai. Navies of the Western Coalition sailed west across the Nas'kin Ocean to invade Kaltir. The force was intercepted by the navies of the Kingdom of Kaltir supplemented by the Empire of Ahmoda, which had crossed the Ras'val canal. Monarchist navies were triumphant, sinking most of the rebel fleet. A second rebel fleet sailed east across the Sum'add Ocean and blockaded Amohdan ports.

*The city of Dolor was retaken by nobility forces. All rebels and their sympathizers were offered amnesty. Although many accepted, some refused on ideological grounds and were imprisoned for treason.

'''2430:'''

*The city of Nal'Tor was taken by rebel forces after the surrender of its defenders. The rebel fleet prepared for a large-scale amphibious invasion of Harr'masir. Weakened by a year of starvation from the blockade of its ports and the destruction of the fishing operations, the Empire of Amohda was defeated by a combination of peasant revolts and invading rebels. The island became the staging point for a planned invasion of Harr'masir as rebel forces gathered.

*The fleet of the Kingdom of Kaltir engaged rebel naval forces on the western coast of Harr'masir south of Baltor. After the battle lasted over 72 hours, the Kingdom's navy was finally sunk.

*The Free Tajaran Council settles on Himeo.

'''2431:'''

*All Adhomian monarchies except the Kingdom of Kaltir were overthrown by rebels. Following what is considered the end of the "Great Revolution," most of the rebel groups joined under '''Al'mari Hadii's''' faction to form the [[People's Republic of Adhomai]].

*The city of Orul, the People's Emancipation Movement, and other proponents of confederacy rose in rebellion to the federalization of the Coalition of Free Adhomai. The city of Orul was quickly and brutally occupied by the armies of the Hadii Faction which had remained home as the defensive force for the Ras'nrr Continent. Soldiers of the Dasn'rra Resistance Movement, which had joined under the Hadii's rule, suppressed units of other forces where they had all gathered on Amohda. The newly formed Republican Army under Hadii's command marched south to suppress the undefended cities of the People's Emancipation Movement and cement the rule of the People's Republic.

'''2432:'''

*The Hadii Faction was able to finalize the suppression and subjugation of all other rebel groups and began preparing to resume the amphibious invasion of Harr'masir.

*The Kingdom of Kaltir capitulated to People's Republic rule before an invasion could be performed. Despite popular requests for amnesty and peace from the Kingdom, many of the nobility were executed. '''Farkhanzirhal Azunja''' imprisoned his 32-year-old son, [[Notable Tajara#King Vahzirthaamro Azunja|Vahzirthaamro Azunja]], in order to hide him during the executions. The People's Republic of Adhomai became the lone global government of Adhomai.
</div></div>

==Interwar Period==

The period following the First Revolution was marked by massive changes. Education campaigns carried out by the People's Republic of Adhomai nearly eliminated illiteracy. With the help of megacorporations, the PRA was able to quickly industrialize. However, this help came at the cost of surrendering many of the Adhomian natural resources and workforce to the corporations. This deeply divided Al'mari's supporters into two groups: those who believed that external help was necessary to uplift the Tajara people and those who saw the corporations as parasites holding back Adhomai. These two factions were kept in check through the use of the national secret service, political maneuvers, and political purges.

In Northern Harr'masir, supporters of the previous ruling dynasty were slowly organizing themselves. The Royalists, fighting in the name of the house of Azunja, began to infiltrate the People's Republic institutions in the area. In a matter of years, the underground monarchist movement controlled most of the civil administration and local army barracks. The People's Republic was aware of the brewing rebellion, however, due to the distance from the capital and lack of collaboration with the civilian population, they were unable to locate its ringleaders.

The concept of the monolithic Hadiist culture was born during the Interwar period. In an attempt to unite the Tajaran people, the People's Republic suppressed regional identities and cultures. Siik'maas was chosen to be the official and only national language; with the exception of Siik'Tajr, used for military purposes, it was the language taught in school. Rock Nomads were being settled in communal farms. These policies angered the most conservative elements of the Adhomian society.

In the end, Al'mari sided with the anti-corporation faction with his economic reforms. This move proved to be deeply popular with those who were profiting from the corporate presence in Adhomai. He 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, Al'mari made clear his intentions to make Adhomai independent until it was ready to take on the burden of interstellar politics.

</div></div>

==The Second Revolution==

The disagreements and hatred of the Hadii republican government had led to insurrection and treachery among Adhomai's major power figures since Al'mari'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, Al'mari Hadii. In 2451 CE, during a military parade, President Al'mari was assassinated by Tufir Nazzirai. A known secret service agent of the People's Republic, the radical was swiftly sentenced to death for his betrayal, which claimed to be brought on by the rebellious intent of the Kaltiran people. His brother and vice-president Njadrasanukii Hadii, also known as Malik Hadii, quickly assumed the office of the presidency and immediately passed brutal laws that punished the Kaltir lands and subversive elements, including the Ruvska’ard that Tufir Nazzirai was once classified as. 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.

While Al'mari implemented his new policies, the People's Republic saw the return of a surviving dynasty, the Azunja, in the form of an uprising in its most remote region. This faction, the New Kingdom of Adhomai, attempted to bring back monarchism to Adhomai through a constitutional monarchy. Bolstered by the recent crackdown on their people, there was no shortage of supporters that quickly overwhelmed the local Republican presence.

Many military generals who had fought for the Republic soon defected under the banner of the Adhomai Liberation Army, the leader of which being Al'mari's old friend and ally, '''Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan''', who claimed that he wanted to take control of the People's Republic to finally out Al'mari's legacy. "His gun was on stun" became the rallying cry of Nated's fiercest supporters 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.

With these two rebellions, Adhomai found itself embroiled in yet another global conflict.

*[[Notable Tajara#King Vahzirthaamro Azunja|Vahzirthaamro Azunja]] and his retinue of intellectuals were released from prison in secret in the middle of the night. They traveled the Kaltir region, gathering support for an independence movement. Copies of a constitution with the title "The New Kingdom" circulated by underground printing presses, and were praised by many locals for its generous civil liberties.

===Adhomai Today===
[[File:Adhomaimodernmap.png|300px|thumb|A map of modern-day Adhomai.]]

The Tajaran homeworld 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 in 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 that they are kept that 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 [[Tajaran Military Structures#The S'rand'marr Coalition|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 the Nralakk Federation. 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 now competing with each other for supremacy through a cold war.

After the first successful nuclear test by the Democratic People's Republic in 2463, the specter of a possible nuclear war haunts Adhomai.

Corporate Regulations

2026-07-11T20:26:22Z

William Murdoch: /* Medium Level Infractions (Amber Violations; i200's) */

{{Reference}}
{{TrailingMechanics}}
{{IC_Laws}}

= Corporate Regulations =

Corporate Regulations are penned regulations that all SCC employees have agreed to abide by in the signing of their employment contract. These regulations apply across the board on any SCC owned property, be it station, ship, or outpost.

Onboard each facility there will be a dedicated Security department in charge of making sure that all SCC employees follow these regulations.

*'''Regulations protecting prisoners from mistreatment applies to even non-crew.'''

*'''Executions are not allowed by regulations.''' Ship security nor command should be doing any executions. The maximum possible penalty for major infractions is marooning or cyborgification.

*'''The brig timer of a prisoner begins after processing.''' All prisoner processing is expected to be completed in a timely manner. Should a detainee's processing take an unreasonably long time, the personnel responsible for that processing may be liable for illegal detention.

*Any instances of sexually related incidents '''should be ahelped'''. These are explicitly against the rules and have no mechanical regulations for this reason.

=== Interpretation of the Regulations ===

Every person on the ship should have a good knowledge of Corporate Regulations. Following them could mean the difference between having a peaceful day or paying 1000 credits for multiple infractions. Extensive knowledge of Corporate Regulations is required for such positions as the [[Warden]], [[Executive Officer]], [[Captain]], and the [[Head of Security]].

For all incidents, the '''suspect's intent''' is very important. Some incidents are mutually exclusive.

A single incident has a single sentence, so if, for instance, the prisoner took 3 items off someone, this is a single count of pickpocketing.

Aiding and abetting a criminal makes you an accomplice; '''you can be charged with the same crime as the person you aided and abetted.'''

The charges “Battery”, “Attempted murder” and “Murder” do not apply to crimes committed against [[IPC|IPCs]], whether they are free intelligences or owned by a person or company. Consult employment/security records to determine whether an IPC is owned or not. Positronic intelligences are not protected by capital punishment laws. Those charged with red level infractions may be at risk of being dismantled or destroyed.

The charges “Battery”, “Attempted murder” and “Murder” do not apply to crimes committed against [[Dionae]], instead the respective charges are as follows: "Animal cruelty", "Assault" and "Fytocide". [[Dionae Forms|Dionae Nymphs]] acting as pests will not be protected by these regulations.

=== Additional ===

==== Captains and Authority ====

Captains are not above Corporate Regulations and can be arrested by Security for breaking them. However, this should only happen if active Heads of Staff agree in a unanimous decision to approve the arrest, or the arrest is ordered by Central Command. '''Captains should not be removed from their position in this way for anything but violations that would normally require holding until transfer.''' Lesser violations can and should be reported to Central Command, but are not generally severe enough to warrant this drastic action. If a Captain is arrested in this manner, an Acting Captain should be appointed immediately, and Central Command should be informed.

The vessel's assigned Captain has full and final authority over the operation of the vessel. They are authorized to issue direct orders to entire departments or specific crew members. They may take any actions or issue orders that violate regulations during non-standard situations. Generally, these orders must be carried out. Even if you feel an order from the Captain to be against regulation, your moral code, or generally detestable, you still have to follow it. You are entitled to begin a vote within Command (if you're part of Command) to have the Captain arrested if the order breaks a serious regulation, or fax Central Command (if you have access to a fax machine) to have them weigh in, but disobeying the order (if given to you) or obstructing it (if not given to you directly) is Failure to Execute an Order. This is upgraded to Sedition if you start encouraging others to refuse the Captain's orders.

If a crew member breaks regulations while following a direct order from the Captain, when there are other legal ways to carry it out, that crew member is generally considered at fault for the violation.

Pardons are only legitimate if they come from Central Command. Not even the Captain can deliver pardons, but they can grant parole with or without a tracking implant.

==== Injunctions ====

The Captain, Head of Security, and Corporate Representative may issue injunctions to the crew if deemed necessary.

An injunction is a restriction on a crew member, meant to prohibit disruptive behavior that may not otherwise explicitly break regulations. Violating the terms of these injunctions '''is''' breaking regulations however, covered by '''i108 Violation of Injunction''' below. Examples of valid uses of injunctions include things like preventing two belligerent crew members from interacting with one another, or stopping someone from abusing alcohol at the bar. They are not meant to circumvent the chain of command, however, and efforts to resolve problems within that structure should be made first.

The Head of Security and Corporate Representatives may issue injunctions to any non-Command member of the crew. The Captain's orders may override these injunctions.

Only the Captain, Central Command itself, or every other member of Command acting as the Captain in a unanimous decision, may issue injunctions to a member of Command Staff.

==== Misc ====

Do '''NOT''' demand a tribunal for anything. You'll just be laughed at.

A '''Warrant''' must be provided for almost any search or arrest conducted under code green. Exceptions to this rule exist if an officer is a direct witness to a crime, or may reasonably conclude that failure to act will pose an immediate danger to the crew and/or vessel. Search warrants may also be circumvented if the Head of Staff over the employee being searched has given their direct consent.

'''Suspensions''' are used to temporarily suspend an employee from active duty, restricting them from holding any ship rank. They are typically used in situations where an employee can no longer be trusted to continue their work.

'''Demotions''' are used to temporarily demote an employee to a rank below their previous occupation, allowing them to continue active duty under a position of less authority. They are typically reserved for situations in which the employee is still trusted to continue work, but may require additional training or oversight.

'''Drugs''' such as alcohol, tobacco, Ambrosia Deus, Ambrosia Vulgaris, etcetera are not covered by the '''Contraband''' regulation as these are legal under Tau Ceti law. A full list of legalized recreational drugs can be found [[Drug Law|here]].

=== Low Level Infractions (Yellow Violations; i100's) ===
==== Regarding warnings ====

Officers are allowed to give out official warnings for first-time low level infractions. Any repeat offenders are to be sentenced.

Officers are not obligated to first issue out an official warning, but are encouraged to do so if the situation allows it.

| i101
| '''Trespassing'''
| To be in an area which a person does not have access to.
| Remember that people can either break in, sneak in, or be let in. Always check that the suspect wasn't let in to do a job by someone with access, or were given access on their ID. Trespassing and theft often committed together; both sentences should be applied. Severity is increased if they refuse to leave the area peacefully, more so if they attempt to use important equipment there, so feel free to add other charges if they do.
| 3 minutes.
| Up to 10 minutes and/or demotion.
| 120-145 credits
|-
| i102
| '''Petty Theft'''
| To take items from areas one does not have access to, or to take items belonging to others or the vessel as a whole. Includes theft of credits up to 500cr. For higher amounts see i220 - Fraud
| Keeping items which are in short supply where they belong is what is important here. A doctor who takes all the surgical tools and hides them still commits theft, even though he had access. Items can include anything in limited supply. Remember to take the items away from them and return them to where they stole them.
| 3 minutes, returning of stolen item to the owner or department.
| Up to 10 minutes and/or demotion.
| 60-85 credits
|-
| i103
| '''Minor Assault'''
| To use, or threaten, physical force against someone, without intent to kill or seriously injure. To cause easily repairable damage to a free IPC chassis, up to and including the removal of limbs.
| If it causes minor damage and easily treatable damage, it's minor assault. Starting fights with other employees or punching fellow employees counts too, as well as seriously threatening them with it. Force-feeding someone is this unless it's poisonous or knocks them unconscious.
| 4 minutes.
| Up to 10 minutes and/or demotion.
| 175-245 credits
|-
| i104
| '''Battery'''
| To have unwanted physical contact with someone, even where the contact is not violent.

| 120-155 credits
|-
| i105
| '''Indecent Exposure or Hooliganism'''

| This is really only for people who are constantly spamming the radio, such as 'DJs' or Chaplains reading their services over the comms.

Speaking excessively non basic on comms also falls under this, unless it is your departmental comms (at the head's discretion and on non emergencies) and on green and yellow alert codes.
| 3 minutes.
| Ban from using any radio equipment, which requires a filed injunction.
| 60-85 credits
|-
| i108
| '''Violation of Injunction'''
| To violate the terms of an injunction made by Security or other legal professions.

| i110
| '''Slander or Verbal Abuse'''
| To spread false rumors in order to damage someone's reputation, or to use racially offensive language.
| Lying about anything to make someone else look bad, or making use of obscene or offensive slurs against someone else. For example, a drunk assistant starts shouting racial slurs at xeno crew.

| 3 minutes.
| 5 minutes.
| 25 credits per applicable minute
|-
| i111
| '''Failure to Execute an Order'''
| To ignore or disregard a superior's valid orders.
| If the order is stupid, or causes you to break a law (e.g. "Release the singularity!" or "Steal that RCD for me!") you can ignore it, and probably make a complaint. However, if it's perfectly doable, lawful, and in your job description, you better do it or resign. If not following an order caused severe damage or loss of life, see "Failure to Execute an Order with Serious Consequences".

| 120-180 credits
|-
| i115
| '''Threat of Murder or Serious Injury'''
| To threaten to kill or seriously injure an employee.
| The threat has to somewhat tangible. If it's just people arguing over the radio, it's probably not worth it. Someone shouting at someone else while chasing them with a fire extinguisher is more valid.

| Up to 10 minutes with psychiatric evaluation.
| 175-200 credits. Tracking implant.
|-
| i116
| '''Disrespect to the Dead'''
| To abuse bodies of dead employees.
| Examples include, the chef using bodies in the morgue as meat, Security beating on a prisoners corpse, or using someone's body for 'experimental surgery'.

Authorization to records is held by their respective heads of staff.
| 3 minutes.
| 10 minutes. Demotion and/or Suspension.
| 145-190 credits.
|-
| i119
| '''Illegal search'''
| To perform a search of an employee or workplace without a search warrant, clearance, or probable cause.
| An extension of the Privacy Laws, crew members are entitled to the privacy against searches on green alert. Security is required to obtain a search warrant from either the Head of Security, Captain, or lacking either, a Warden. Searches of workplaces falls under this. Security can circumvent a search warrant requirement if they: have clearance from the respective head of staff, have directly witnessed a crime taking place, or feel there is a real and imminent danger to the safety of crew and/or vessel. This also does not apply to searches conducted after another, legitimate arrest.
| 3 minutes. A written apology. Return of non-contraband goods and reduced brig time for victim.

===High Severity Infractions (Red Violations; i300's)===
==== Regarding cyborgification ====

*'''The SCCV Horizon is registered as a Biesel ship, and therefore Biesel laws apply aboard. Biesel law does not consider cyborgification capital punishment, making it an optional punishment. '''
*'''Nralakk Federation Skrell are never borged. Their punishment becomes holding until transfer or marooning instead.'''
*'''If a captain is not present to authorize cyborgification, the command staff must pass a majority vote to authorize it.'''

==== Parole ====

Parole is temporarily releasing a prisoner before their sentence has been fully completed on the promise of good behavior. Parole can be given for any number of reasons, including brig overcrowding, a reward for good behavior or confession, or if the prisoner's skills are in need by the ship such as a doctor or engineer.

The Warden or Head of Security can choose to give prisoners parole. A tracking implant is recommended if the prisoner is a flight risk (IE an engineer going EVA, but it is up to the Warden/HoS to determine how much of a risk they are.) Tracking implants for minor crimes are not worth it.

On the completion of their time they are simply marked as released as normal.

If they commit any crimes their parole is ended and they must serve out the remainder of their time in the brig with the new crime's time added on.

Parole can be given immediately after initial processing; theoretically a prisoner can spend their entire sentence out of the brig.

==== Marooning ====

An individual being marooned will have their employment considered terminated, their person stripped of all workplace equipment and left on the nearest celestial body or current port of call with their personal belongings. Humans, Tajara, Skrell and IPC are to be given a basic softsuit, oxygen (or a suit cooler unit) and a GPS. Vaurca and Diona are to be given k'ois or a source of light instead. A majority vote is required to pass a marooning unless a Captain is present, at which point the Captain may call for a marooning without Command support. An after-action report must be faxed to Central after a marooning has occurred.

=== Terminology and Clarifications ===
'''Cyborgification''': The removal of a person's brain for transplanting into a Cyborg Chassis. Often also known as Shackling.

'''Suspension''': Changing ID title to "suspended", zero access.

'''Demotion''': Can be done up to and including Assistant position, by Executive Officer or Captain's decision.

'''Employee''': Employee of the SCC, as defined by the ship's commanding officer. All non-employee subjects are still protected by these laws.

'''Empowering''': Illegal acquiring (not via Executive Officer or Captain) of access.

'''Head of Staff''': Crew members occupying one of the following positions: Captain, Chief Engineer, Executive Officer, Head of Security, Chief Medical Officer, Operations Manager, Research Director.

'''HuT''': Holding until Transfer

'''Lethal Situation''': A situation in which there is an apparent and real threat the the well-being of all those involved.

'''Repeat Offenders''': For repeat offenders, use the "repeat offense" punishment.

'''Severe Injury''': A state in which the victim is in a critical condition and is having difficulty maintaining consciousness.

Demotion and dismissal also require the removal of equipment from the previous job. E.g: Uniforms, weapons, bombs, PDA cartridges, etc.

For the purposes of Cyborg/AI laws, crewmembers that have been convicted, or are being held in detention, are considered to be below even the AI/Cyborgs in terms of rank.

In cases where the final sentence is more than 90 minutes, it is changed to HuT

The standard penalty can be applied without a tribunal by Security Officers.

William Murdoch: /* Contraband */

{{Reference}}
{{IC_Laws}}

All Stellar Corporate Conglomerate vessels share a set of standard procedures that are to be followed. These guide the different departments on board the vessel, outline certain points and clear up some issues that may arise.

==General==
===Departmental Ranking===
<small>''See more: [[Chain of Command]]''</small>

Unless stated otherwise, all Departmental Staff are equal in rank, with differing responsibilities and assignments. The exceptions are departmental assistants/interns/apprentices, and standard assistants.

It is within the capacity of the Departmental Head of Staff to promote and designate senior leaders as they see fit, within their own department.

===Alert Levels===
The alert system is a standardized system of five colors which correspond to the status of the vessel. These levels may alter procedure and regulations to better assist departments in addressing non-standard situations.

Alert levels may be altered by Command and Command-support personnel as needed. A change in alert level must be made in tandem with an announcement appraising the crew of the reasoning for change in alert level, as well as any advisories necessary for safety.

====Green Alert====
Green alert indicates standard operations without any non-standard danger or elevated privileges. All regulations and procedures shall be enforced. Security personnel may not openly brandish weaponry, or wear armor plating on the arms, legs, or head except for in situations that may require temporary additional protections.

====Yellow Alert====
Yellow Alert indicates any non-standard operational state that presents a biological threat to the vessel. During Yellow alert status, all personnel shall assist in addressing the situation as necessary.

Command personnel may permit privileges to any department as necessary to address the situation. These privileges must be reasonable for the situation at hand, subject to review after the conclusion of a Yellow alert. All privileges permitted to a department during Yellow alert must be announced to the vessel.

====Blue Alert====
Blue alert indicates a high potential or unknown danger to the vessel. Elevation to Blue alert shall only be performed should the situation at hand not be sufficiently contained through standard procedures. All departments shall assist in the addressing of potential threats to the vessel to ensure a swift return to standard operations. Regulations and Standard Operation Procedures shall still apply as standard, however additional privileges are permitted to assist in non-standard operations.

Security personnel are permitted to wear arm and leg guards, as well as openly-carry weaponry. Random and locational searches are permitted with probable cause. Heads of Staff may refuse a locational search if it is within their department, a command-restricted location, or high-value storage.

The camera-network, vital sensors, and maintenance system access restrictions are lowered. However, abuse of these systems may result in punitive action where deemed necessary by on-duty Security personnel.

====Red Alert====
Red alert indicates a confirmed and immediate threat to the vessel, requiring all on-duty personnel to assist in the resolution of the situation. Elevation to Red alert requires a Captain-level decision, as well as the presence of two command personnel capable of swiping for alert level elevation at a keycard authentication terminal present within all Command offices. Elevation to Red alert necessitates a situation report to Central Command at the earliest reasonable time.

Standard Operating Procedures and Regulations may be disregarded as necessary by Command personnel to appropriately address any threats to the vessel, subject to review as necessary following the conclusion of a Red alert.

To assist in operations, all personnel are required to utilize Tau Ceti Basic on all radio channels, as well as the setting of suit sensors to maximum.

====Delta Alert====
<small>''See more: [[#Evacuation and Emergency Bluespace Jumps|Evacuation and Emergency Bluespace Jumps]]''</small>

Delta alert indicates a situation in which the vessel may not be recovered. Due to sensitive equipment and data on-board the vessel, in inability to contain a given situation, the vessel will undergo scuttling operations. At this time, all personnel must evacuate the vessel. Command and Security personnel are permitted any action necessary to ensure the swift evacuation of the vessel. All Standard Procedures and Regulations may be disregarded.

===External Partners===
Approved External Business Partners ("Merchants") with a SCC merchant pass possess docking authorization from Central Command and are permitted to dock and conduct business with the vessel. Merchants are expected to comply with all vessel regulations and rules set by Command Staff while aboard the ship. A merchant has direct authority over their own vessel and may choose to provide or deny their services as they see fit. Merchants are authorized to carry a concealed weapon for purposes of personal defense while aboard the vessel, unless explicitly prohibited by Command Staff. Employees who purchase items from a merchant take full responsibility for the possession and legality of these purchases. The Security Department is neither responsible for nor authorized to confiscate wares aboard a merchant's vessel and may not charge or detain a merchant for the possession of wares that remain aboard that vessel. The Security Department may not enforce regulations aboard a docked merchant vessel, except for issues that arise between Stellar Corporate Conglomerate employees, or to neutralize an immediate hostile and violent threat to the vessel.

===Off-Duty Crew===
Off-duty crewmembers and passengers on the working decks are not contracted to work or otherwise assume the role of any of the actively employed crew. Even if they work for the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate, promotion of off-duty crew or passengers to vessel ranks, except in the direst of circumstances, will be regarded as neglect of duty and/or exceeding official powers. During these circumstances, volunteers will not be compensated in any fashion by the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate and will not be insured against any injuries they sustain. Without exception, off-duty crewmembers and passengers are not permitted to be promoted to command ranks.

===Press===
Visiting and subcontracting ("freelance") journalists are not to be censored via a news channel D-Notice, unless a Captain-level decision determines that the content they publish directly endangers the safety of Stellar Corporate Conglomerate employees. Command Staff choosing to apply a D-Notice in this manner are expected to immediately contact Central Command to report that it has been applied. The creator of the channel is also to be made aware of both the notice and the reasoning for its implementation.

Journalists directly employed by the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate voluntarily waive these protections, as per the terms of their employment contract.

===Non-Structural Alterations===
Non-structural or cosmetic remodeling of a department may be performed by any staff with written and signed consent of the department in question. Cosmetic alteration to general areas, such as hallways, arrivals, and departures, require consent from the Chief Engineer, The Captain, or (in the absence of both) Command as a whole.

===Uniforms===
All on-duty personnel must wear appropriate attire such that the upper '''and''' lower body are adequately covered. Undergarments such as bras do not suffice, however clothing such as tank tops are sufficient. Failure to do so will result in i105 - Indecent Exposure.

Exceptions are granted to vaurcesian employees and '''non-shell''' IPCs not within the security, medical, or command departments, who may wear gear harnesses without further clothing.

Additionally, appropriate PPE must be utilized where necessary. Examples include the use of insulated gloves when modifying electrical equipment, or hard hats when modifying the ship hull.

===Shuttle Use===
<small>'See more: [[Guide to Piloting]]''</small>

The SCCV Horizon's shuttles may be used at any time by designated qualified personnel for the purpose of mining and exploration. Their flight activities may only be grounded by instating a flight ban, which may be established during Code Red security situations, orders from SCC Central Command, Operations Manager, or an Executive Officer.

The mining shuttle is allowed a degree of autonomy and does not require clearance to depart the SCCV Horizon for the purpose of mining operations unless a flight ban is in place. The shuttle is under the oversight of the Operations Manager, who retains the authority to ground or recall the shuttle at their discretion. The Canary is under the oversight of the Executive Officer but may be utilized by all of Command in necessary situations.

The SCCV Horizon bridge must accommodate prospecting and exploration missions before plotting course to a different location.

===Shuttle Pre-Flight Safety Checks===
During standard operation, it is necessary to ensure all airlocks are properly sealed prior to take-off in any shuttle. These checks should be performed by a [[Hangar Technician]] if present, otherwise the pilot of the shuttle craft may perform the check. Failure to do so will be considered i206 - Neglect of Duty or, should damages occur, i221 - Gross Negligence.

Proper pre-flight safety checks must include a visual sweep of the surrounding area to ensure it is free of hazards and personnel. Following this, a visual check of all airlocks must be performed. If an airlock is '''overridden''', force either set of doors closed, or if additional systems are available to seal the atmosphere of the shuttle, such as airtight shutters, they should be enabled and confirmed to be active. After the surrounding area, airlocks, and additional systems have been visually checked, the inspecting crew member must announce that the shuttle is cleared for flight if they are not the pilot of the shuttle.

===Horizon Weapons Systems===
The SCCV Horizon has been equipped with two main weapons systems in order to safeguard its assets, personnel, and mission. Its use and operation are an expectation during emergencies.

Bridge crew and Operations personnel are expected to follow command team orders on usage of the many systems aboard. In the absence of command, bridge crewmen are expected to operate the weaponry with discretion.

Weaponry should only be fired as a last resort, and all SCC personnel should consider the implications such actions may have on both the region and the greater Chainlink as a whole.

The Canary's weaponry may be used by the team lead on its away mission without command approval, but its use will be reviewed upon return to the Horizon. Misuse of any of the weapon systems are grounds for immediate termination.

===Salvage Operations===
During standard operation, the Horizon may come across abandoned or wrecked vessels. Due to various contracts secured between the SCC and governments of visited regions, these vessels may be salvaged by crew under the following conditions:

*The site is not inhabited or occupied.
*No local laws prohibit the salvage of that site.
*No other organization has previously claimed the site.
*No other department has claimed the site for other activities. Examples include:
**Archaeological exploration by the Science Department.
**Structural repair ordered by the Chief Engineer.
**Quarantine declared by the Chief Medical Officer.

Unless otherwise agreed upon with other organizations prior to a salvaging operation, such as Central Command or external partners, all equipment and materials salvaged from a site may be stored and used at the discretion of the Horizon.

==Command==
===Prohibited Imagery===
The following list contains all organizations containing prohibited imagery and symbology. Any items displaying the imagery or symbology of an organization contained on this list may not, under any circumstances, be displayed by Command or Bridge personnel.

*Emblems of [[Human Wildlands|"warlord states"]], including the '''Solarian Restoration Front''', '''the League of Independent Corporate-Free Systems''', '''the Free Solarian Fleets''', '''the Southern Solarian Military District''', and the '''Southern Fleet Administration'''; or
*Emblems of anti-corporate organizations such as the '''[[Himeo|United Syndicates of Himeo]]''', '''[[Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai|Adhomian Liberation Army]]''', the '''[[Mictlan|"Founding Movement", or the "Samaritans"]]'''; or
*Emblems of the group '''[[Unathi_Crime_And_Enforcement#The_Champions_of_Moghes|"Champion of Moghes"]]'''.

===Uniform Regulations===
All Command and Bridge personnel must wear appropriate business or business casual clothing. Personnel may not dress in a manner that may lead to the misidentification as a member of their originating corporation or nation-state. All prohibited imagery or symbology may not be worn under any circumstances.

===Acting Captain===
Should the Command staff be missing a captain, it is preferred that all members of the Command staff present act as a singular commanding entity, thus negating the need to promote a specific person to the position of Acting Captain. Under such operations, the Command Staff carries the authority of the captain and can conduct actions that would otherwise require the captain's approval. These actions require a Command vote to enact a captain-level decision. Command votes to enact a captain-level decision may '''not''' occur if a captain is present.

All Heads of Staff can initiate a Command vote. This vote is considered a captain-level decision and thus carries the authority of the captain. A Command vote begins with one or more Heads of Staff declaring what the vote intends to do over the command radio. All Heads of Staff are expected to participate and vote yes, no, or verbally abstain (abstaining through inaction is not permitted). All command votes are majority-rules unless stated otherwise. In the event the command vote ends in a tie, the vote automatically fails. Any votes taken against another Head of Staff will see the implicated party automatically abstained from voting. Additionally, Command staff who have been formally detained under orders of the Head of Security will be unable to vote until they have been released and allowed to reassume their previous position.

During non-standard operation, the Command staff may vote to appoint an Acting Captain among the Command staff. This is a standard Command-level vote only requiring a majority in favor. In the event a Head of Staff is elevated to Captainship, Central Command should be informed immediately as the situation allows. Once standard operation is resumed, and any non-standard situations have been resolved, the Acting Captain must resign captainship and reassume their previous position.

===Captain Authority===
The vessel's assigned Captain has full authority over the operation of the vessel and the attached shuttles. They are authorized to shut down departments at their discretion, reassign crew members, issue direct orders to all crew members of the ship, and take actions within reason that may violate regulations in non-standard situations.

The captain is trusted to act in the best interests of the company, crew, and vessel they are assigned to. Any complaints or concerns over the captain's decisions should be addressed after their orders have been carried out, and after the situation that prompted those orders has been resolved.

===Command Staff===
During standard operation, all Departmental Heads of Staff are equal under the command of the captain present onboard the vessel. Should a department find itself lacking a Head of Staff, the Captain is able to either assume direct supervision of the department or otherwise appoint a senior crew member to fill the missing role through the procedure for [[#Interim Command Staff|Interim Heads of Staff]].

During non-standard operation, a specific Departmental Head of Staff may be elevated above others, should the crisis situation fall under the responsibility of their department. At that point, other departments should act in a supporting role.

===Interim Command Staff===
<small>''See more: [[Chain_of_Command#Interim_Heads_of_Staff|Chain of Command]]''</small>

During standard operation, departments lacking a Head of Staff may have a senior crew member elevated into an Interim Head of Staff position by the Captain, Acting Captain, or Executive Officer. They inherit equal responsibility and power to a normal Head of Staff, with the exception of votes of no confidence to which an Interim Head of Staff may not start or participate in. During the selection of an Interim Head of Staff, considerations for SCC standards should be applied, regardless of whether it may exclude potential options for Interim. In the event of a crew member being elevated into an interim position, a promotion form should be completed.

During non-standard operation, restrictions and considerations on an Interim Head of Staff may be ignored, with exception of vaurcesian employees who may not be elevated under any circumstance. However, all Interim Heads of Staff that do not otherwise fit SCC standards must be demoted to their standard position immediately following the conclusion of non-standard operations.

===Command on Leaving the Vessel===
Should, during standard or non-standard operation, the need for one or more Command staff to leave the SCCV Horizon arise, it is possible for them to do so if and only if there is at least one other Command staff remaining on the ship after their departure. If any command vote is called while there are Command staff away from the ship, their vote is still required, and their return should be awaited. This section may be overridden by a captain if required.

===Corporate Liaisons and Consular Officers===
Command staff are expected to engage representatives (both corporate and diplomatic) through diplomacy and to consent to reasonable requests. The representative is not part of the vessel chain of command. The representative is granted special status in relation to corporate regulations:
*The representative does not serve brig time for low level infractions; the fine alternative can be used in those cases.
*The representative can serve brig time for medium and high-level infractions, with command staff being able to contact Central Command requesting the revocation of the representative's privileges.
*The representative's office offers immunity to the representative. Security may not enter to conduct arrests under normal circumstances. Entering or refusing to exit the office is considered trespassing.
*The office's immunity may be revoked by the captain or a captain level decision.
*Security is only able to conduct an arrest inside the representative's if the office's immunity was revoked or if there is clear evidence that a medium or high-level infraction is happening inside the office.

===Departmental Funds===
Through the combined budgets of the SCC Chainlink, departmental funds have been granted to the use of each department. Command members are encouraged to make use of this allotment as needed for day to day needs to ensure smooth operation. Heads of Staff are encouraged to utilize these funds to acquire materials, equipment, or other general supplies.

Additionally, Command Members may authorize small bonuses to crew members for exceptional situations up to 1000 credits or incentive bonuses up to 500 credits. Bonuses should be documented on general faxes and sent to Central explaining the situation, employee, and amount.

===Evacuation and Emergency Bluespace Jumps===
During extreme non-standard operation, evacuation or emergency bluespace jump orders may be used when the Horizon is placed in a situation that threatens the destruction of the vessel or her crew. Emergency bluespace jumps are the preferred order, with evacuations remaining a last resort that may coincide with [[#Delta Alert|Delta Alert]].

An evacuation or emergency bluespace jump order may only be enacted by a captain or '''unanimous''' Command-level vote. Central Command '''must''' be notified of the order along with a brief reasoning before the order has been completed. In the event of an evacuation, all sensitive information, materials, and equipment must either be destroyed or secured with the evacuating crew.

===Incident Management===
During non-standard operation, it is expected for departments to assist in the safe resolution of said incident and the recovery of standard operations. When it becomes clear that a significant incident is arising that could affect standard operations of the vessel or cause significant damage to crew or property, it is expected that (when possible) all on board personnel are provided with the following information:
*A brief description of the current incident.
*What steps have been taken so far to combat this incident.
*Suggested action for the crew to take.
*(If applicable) A brief description of the reasoning behind a change in alert level.

Exceptions to this include where the above information would compromise vessel security or safety. If this is the case it is expected that as much information as is safe to do so is dispensed for the crew.

===Faxes===
<small>''See more: [[Guide to Faxes]]''</small>

Command and Command-support personnel may be required, from time to time, to fax an external organization. These communications must follow given standards as necessary for the correct routing and swift processing of communications.

All Command personnel are permitted to seek guidance from Central Command as necessary during vessel operations. However, at no point may any personnel halt, delay, or otherwise disrupt operations pending return communication from Central Command.

====Internal Routed Faxes====
All communications routing within the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate network, including Central Command or affiliate-corporations, shall use internal SCC routing. These communications must utilize standardized forms appropriate for a given communication. All fields, with exception of index, must be filled. Tau Ceti Basic is to be utilized except for signatures. Stamps, where necessary, must be provided. Failure to abide by these guidelines may result in the misrouting or rejection of a sent communication. The following is a guideline for standard fax forms:

*General Fax: To be utilized for standard, non-urgent communications. This is the standard form for non-critical updates, personnel alterations such as suspensions, budget use for bonuses, and other miscellaneous communications.

*Situation Report: To be utilized for high-urgency, immediate-attention communication with Central Command. This is the standard form for all non-standard situation reports.

*Secondary Forms: Secondary forms (such as security reports, forensics reports, medical reports, or any other document) that are to be sent to Central Command should be attached to any of the above as required, and not sent on their own.

====External Routed Faxes====
All communications routed to non-SCC entities, such as a government or an independent organization. These communications have no standard guidelines, and as such may be performed as necessary.

==Science==
===Scientific Experimentation===
Approved science experiments being performed by or with oversight from qualified researchers must be performed in a way that does not unnecessarily risk crew or vessel unless otherwise authorized by the [[Research Director]] or [[Captain]]. All sentient test subjects involved in the experiment must sign a SCCF-0501 Personal Release prior to the experiment. All items classified as contraband may be utilized within an approved experiment, however may not leave the production or testing environment, and must be stored properly after the experiment concludes. Failure to adhere to this procedure may result in an i221 - Gross Negligence.

===Slimes Experiments & Non-sapient Xenological Lifeforms===
Slimes, non-sapient xenoforms, and the subjects of transformative xenobiological experiments are not classified as crew, members of humanity or affiliated alien races, but as test subjects and property of the SCC. Performing transformative xenobiological experiments on a co-worker is considered homicide and is punishable by corporate regulations and by law.

==Operations==
===Warehouse Contents===
The operations department is expected to store and distribute warehouse supplies to the vessel's departments as deemed appropriate. The stock of the vessels warehouse is not to be regarded as contraband if it remains in the warehouse or is being transported to an appropriate destination.

===Do not Borgify ===
Personnel with a Do Not Borgify order are NOT to be borgified. Failure to heed these orders is considered malpractice by law and will be treated as such.

==Engineering==
===Vessel Modifications===
All non-structural forms of modification, optimization, or upgrades to vessel equipment are permitted so long as the modifying engineer is qualified and has obtained written permission of all staff resident to the department in question. Large-scale structural modifications or additions require written and stamped consent from either the Chief Engineer, the Captain, or (in the absence of both) a delegated representative of Command staff.

==Security==
===Warden Authority===
The Warden's authority is limited to the brig and detainees and does not extend to the Security department or its personnel. Additionally, the Warden is not a de facto interim Head of Security in the absence of a Head of Security, unless promoted to that position by command staff.

With sufficient cause, the Warden is authorized to independently issue arrest and search warrants. This authority is subject to command staff review.

===Processing Time===
Personnel detained by Security are expected to be processed in a timely manner. Because a detainee's brig sentence begins after processing is completed, excessive processing times may result in the Warden or handling Security Officers being liable for illegal detention.

===Uniform Regulation===
On-duty security officers and wardens are required to wear the standard uniform provided by their employer or maintain business casual attire in the colours of their corporation. Casual wear, inappropriate footwear, shorts not issued with a uniform and skirts of any kind are not allowed. They must be immediately and easily identifiable as members of security.

On-duty investigative personnel are required to maintain business casual attire, regardless of colour. Casual wear is not permitted. If the personnel is not immediately identifiable as security, a badge must be worn at the hip or on the outer layer of clothing for ease of identification.

Footwear for on-duty security personnel must be business casual or boots and must be closed toe. Unathi and Tajara personnel may wear open toe boots, and Diona personnel are not required to wear footwear.

===Cadetship===
Investigative personnel are not required to complete a cadetship prior to beginning department duties. Any investigative personnel not having completed a cadetship may not perform the detainment of any crew. Those investigative personnel having completed a cadetship must display this within relevant records, and may perform the detainment of crew only where a Security Officer is not available to perform the same.

===Use of Force===
During standard operation, the application of force by Security personnel in response to a given situation should follow the ‘one step above’ concept, wherein the force applied is one level above that of the target. For example, unarmed individuals would call on the use of pepperspray or stun batons. Those equipped with a melee weapon would call on the use of a firearm.

It is expected for all Security personnel, notably the Head of Security, to participate in the determination of what forms of force are applicable in a given situation. However, the determination of adequate use of force shall not impede the security of the vessel and crew.

Failure to utilize adequate use of force will result in i117 - Excessive use of force in detainment.

===Contraband===
Items deemed illegal or unduly hazardous to the vessel and crew are considered contraband. Judgement must be performed by Security Personnel performing searches as to what may classify as contraband. Items may be held for a short period of time for the purpose of identification, after which they must be stored as evidence or released. Failure to identify a held item in a timely manner will result in an i102 - Petty Theft applied to the confiscating personnel.

Contraband must classify within these categories:
*A dangerous item that crew may not possess without appropriate qualifications or valid reason.
**Certain emergency items, such as a fireaxe, may be considered contraband during standard procedure when possessed by unqualified personnel, however during emergency situations may not be considered contraband. Appropriate judgement is expected.
**Some weapons may be considered reasonable to possess under varying circumstances. Possession of an expedition shotgun during an expedition may be reasonable, while carrying a combat knife on green alert may be unreasonable. Appropriate judgement is expected.
*Items that have been constructed for the explicit appearance or use as a weapon.
*Items restricted by Tau Ceti law.
**This includes military-grade equipment, federally controlled pharmaceuticals, so on.
**For all illegal or controlled substances, review Tau Ceti [[Drug Law]].

Items of contraband may be permitted by SCCF-0111 Command Order only if such form has a signature and stamp from appropriate heads of staff, or if the contraband item is intended for export to fulfill an Operations bounty. Contraband items may be stored within appropriate department spaces, such as contraband chemicals stored within the pharmacy, or within the warehouse for the purpose of safety.

===Responding===
Upon arriving at the scene, the security officer is expected to gauge the exact nature at the scene.

If the scene is clear:
*Radio in the situation at the scene.
*Ensure the safety of any crew in the immediate vicinity.
*Identify witnesses.
*Secure the scene in the event of occurrences (tape off area/disallow witness to leave).
*Proceed to 'Collecting Evidence'
If the scene is not clear:
*Identify nature of threat.
*If threat is able to be handled by officers on scene: Proceed with mediation/detainment.
*If threat is unable to be handled by officers on scene: Request immediate assistance. Upon requesting assistance, await said assistance before proceeding. Ensure your safety before ensuring the safety of others on scene.

===Collecting Evidence===
*Crime scenes must be sealed off for evidence to be valid. Ensure non-security personnel do not enter the scene. Avoid cordoning off high-traffic areas unless a serious crime (such as murder or mutiny) has been committed. Permission from the relevant head of staff, head of security, or captain should be gained to cordon off high-traffic areas of specific departments.
*If possible, cordoned-off areas should still allow access around it, via maintenance tunnels, less area taped off, or other methods. *Autopsies should be performed within the morgue.
*Disrupt standard vessel operation as little as possible around the crime scene.
*Investigative staff should be requested. Officers on scene are expected to ensure scene security until/during the arrival of/processing of the scene by investigative staff. If no investigative staff is available, officers are expected to secure evidence on scene.
*Witness statements should be taken (either via recorder or on paper) and physical evidence should be secured.

===Handling Evidence===
*Ensure gloves are worn to prevent contamination of evidence.
*Items that can be, must be held in evidence bags for transportation.
*Crime scene must be preserved until all evidence is collected.
*After evidence is collected, cadavers may be removed to the morgue and area may be cleaned up.

===Searches===
During standard operation, all individuals on the vessel are affording protections against unnecessary searches. These protections are waived in the following cases:
*The ship is on [[Guide to Alert Levels|Blue, Red, or Delta alert]].
*A search warrant has been authorized.
*The search is initiated within the two pre-designated checkpoint areas.
*The search is initiated at an improvised checkpoint area with Head of Security or Captain-level approval.

The procedure for initiating a search is as follows:
*The intent to search an individual is announced by an authorized Security Officer, Warden, or Head of Security.
*The authorized search warrant is presented if applicable.
*Select storage spaces on the individual are searched according to type of search:
**Checkpoint searches are limited to jackets, bags, and any containers within those articles.
**All other searches are permitted to search all storage spaces on an individual.
*Outstanding items identified as [[Guide to Contraband|contraband]] must be removed and bagged as evidence.
*All other items are returned to the individual.
*Should detainment be required, follow the procedure on [[#Arrest|arrests]].

===Arrest===
During standard operation, an authorized warrant is required to carry out an arrest. Authorization can be provided from a Captain-level decision, Head of Security, or Warden. The requirement for a warrant prior to arrest is waived in the following cases:
*The ship is on [[Guide to Alert Levels|Blue, Red, or Delta alert]].
*The member of Security directly witnesses the crime.
*It can be reasonably concluded that failure to act will pose an immediate danger to the crew and/or vessel.
Proceed as follows during the event of detainment:
*Announce intention to arrest and charges vocally. Present authorized warrant if applicable.
*Request the suspect surrender peaceably
*If suspect resists, attempt to handcuff. Verbal disagreement or swearing is '''not''' resisting. Verbal threats of violence, damage, or death '''are''' considered resisting arrest.
*If suspects fight back or run, apply needed force to cease flight and detain suspect. A charge of resisting arrest should be applied in this case.
*Remove suspect to brig for processing.
For witnessed major/violent crime:
*Immediately attempt detainment of suspect, with charges read out when suspect is secured.
*Remove suspect to brig for processing.

===Processing===
*Ensure Warden is aware of incoming prisoner.
*Bring prisoner to processing/booking room. Leave secured if violent/repeat offender.
*Check prisoner’s pockets (coat/jumpsuit), pack, and any containers within pack.
*Confiscate any contraband/evidence found. Note: Evidence must have pertinence to the case. If there is no direct correlation, evidence should be returned to person or respective department.
*Inform the prisoners superior of the arrest.
*Proceed to ‘Jailing’.

===Questioning===
*Questioning should be done in the brig. Booking/Processing is to be used for ‘informal’ interviews. Interrogation should be used in the case of more in-depth investigations.
*The Investigative team should get preference in questioning a suspect unless there's a good reason. A standard processing interview for an open and shut case is probably not worth their time, but it's always good to ask.
*If the person is not a suspect, do not handle them as an offender (handcuffing, stunning, or flashing them is not okay).
*Ensure usage of recorder during interrogations; ensure the suspect/prisoner/witness is aware they are being recorded. Ensure the suspect/prisoner/witness states their or has their name/occupation stated at the beginning of an interrogation.
*If person remains uncooperative, make note of this. Seek advice from your Head of Security.

===Jailing===
*Move prisoner to appropriate cell.
*Place personal items the prisoner was deemed able to keep upon release in cell locker.
*Set cell timer to appropriate time and secure cell.
*Remove handcuffs from prisoner’s person within secure cell if able to do so without severe risk to own wellbeing.
*Ensure records are properly updated to reflect prisoner’s crimes/status.

===Autopsies===
*All autopsies should be conducted by investigations within the autopsy room. If no investigators are present, the cadaver should be stored until one arrives.
*More steps outlining autopsies can be found [[Guide to Cadavers | here.]]
*Once the autopsy is completed, if the deceased was an employee aboard the SCCV Horizon, the cadaver should be remanded to medical so that they may carry out any potential [[#Post Mortem Wishes | post-mortem wishes.]]

==Medical==
===Restricted Pharmaceuticals===
The Pharmacy may, at times, require the production or possession of otherwise [[Drug Law|banned chemicals]] within the Republic of Biesel. These chemicals are exempt from contraband regulation if such chemicals are produced for the explicit use in production of medicines, and stored securely within the Pharmacy. These chemicals may be confiscated as contraband should they leave the Pharmacy.

At no time may any banned chemical be produced for purposes other than medicine production. Banned chemicals may not be administered to crew of the vessel. Banned chemicals without use for medicine production may be securely stored within the Pharmacy for safety, such as illegal chemicals distributed from the warehouse.

===Paramedic Helmet===
Paramedics are to use their helmet on the same basis as security: on code blue and above, and in dangerous situations.

===Postmortem Wishes===
It is medical's responsibility to ensure that post-mortem wishes are carried out for any crew who lose their lives aboard the SCCV Horizon. Bodies autopsied by investigations should be remanded to medical for this purpose once the autopsy is completed. Postmortem wishes are expected to be followed to the letter, if at all possible, by the Horizon.

===Medical Treatment Waiver===
Employees that do not wish to be treated, should be provided with the Medical Treatment Waiver form from the request consoles to sign.

===Medical Uniform Regulations===
On-duty medical personnel whose duties include '''direct patient care''' are required to wear the standard uniform provided by their employer or maintain a business attire preferably (but not required) in the colours of their corporation. Footwear must be professional and closed toe, with exception to Unathi medical personnel who may wear open toe shoes and Dionae medical personnel who may wear no footwear.

Casual wear, inappropriate footwear, shorts not issued with a uniform, and skirts of any kind are not allowed. Paramedics are required to be immediately and easily identifiable as Medical personnel.

====Operating Rooms====
For patient safety and infection control, OR's are held to a higher standard. Scrubs or a protective sterile surgical apron completely covering clothing underneath. Full PPE, including masks for employees who breathe and sterile gloves. Remember to wash your hands!

== 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.

* 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 can extend their vision while standing still. This is possible by using a verb in-game.
* Tajara have superior hearing, allowing them to listen intently. This provides messages on nearby machinery, explosions, and allows Tajara to hear whispered messages from further away. This is possible using a verb in-game.
* 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 ==
[[File:Tajara_Child.png|thumb|A Tajaran mother with her child.]]
Tajara are an omnivorous bipedal humanoid species. While on a surface level Tajara appear to be humanoid felines, scientifically and practically Tajara share little in common with Earth’s felines beyond certain visual elements. Tajaran bodies are strongly adapted for the Adhomian environment, an arctic and turbulent planet. Evolved to survive the harsh weather, temperatures, and hostile fauna, Tajara are well adapted to cold-weather environments, speed, and perception.

===Fur and Mane===
Tajara are covered in a layer of thick fur that provides insulation from the cold, protection from diseases, and weather solar radiation. The only regions left without fur are the pads of the hands and feet, alongside the eyes and various orifices. This fur performs extremely well at insulating against the cold and shedding snow or water. However, Tajaran fur is vulnerable to degradation caused by chemical or physical means. To counter this, damaged fur ‘sheds’ off to allow a healthy follicle to replace it. Otherwise, Tajara do not shed on a regular basis. Tajaran fur has a predetermined length at which it will not grow further, with exception to manes.

Manes are made of a unique strain of Tajaran fur that is stronger and wirier than the rest of a Tajara’s fur. Manes do not stop growth, instead they continually grow unless prevented by chemical means. The growth pattern of a mane can vary from Tajara to Tajara. It is not uncommon for manes to grow around the entire head, not unlike Earth's lion manes. Male Tajara additionally grow what amounts to beards and mustaches along the muzzle. Manes are a complex biological component for Tajara. They assist in heat regulation and insulate the ears when they are folded back into the head. The follicles assist the body in healing wounds as well as boosting the Tajaran immune system.

===Body Fat===

Body fat is stored in two ways: The fat reservoir and the fat layer. The fat reservoir is a non-essential organ within the lower body. It stores excess fats that may be used for energy, heat, or to replace lost fat in the fat layer. While the reservoir is non-essential, the loss of the reservoir can cause numerous complications. Those lacking a reservoir starve faster, lacking an essential store of energy when there is a lack of food. The reservoir’s fat also partially fuels Tajaran heat generation, meaning those without a reservoir are typically colder. The fat layer is an essential insulating layer beneath the fur. It acts as equal parts temperature insulation and physical protection, using the layer to dampen blunt trauma.

===Environmental Adaptations===

Tajaran adaptations to extremely low-temperature environments have the tendency to cause overheating issues in more mild environments. The primary methods by which Tajara expel heat are the pads of the hands and feet, as well as the ears and breath. It is common for Tajara to shorten the fur around the ears to increase heat dissipation. Typically, Tajara will attempt to cool their skin or lower their internal temperature as the insulation of the fur and fat layer also assists in keeping the cold in.

Tajara are built to favor efficient use of energy as opposed to raw strength. Tajaran muscles are lean, built for sustained use over long periods time rather than bursts of power. This is exemplified by the Tajaran gait. Specialized for movement through snow, Tajaran biology favors a consistent speed capable of trudging through snow efficiently as opposed to sprinting. Outside of snowy environments, the lack of resistance correlates to a faster walk speed. However, this does not mean Tajara are not capable of great feats of strength. Training and practice can produce strength competitive with human athletes, albeit with more effort required as the muscles produced are built for endurance and not raw power.

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 have large pupils, capable of contracting significantly faster than other creatures, sapient or otherwise. The Tajaran eye has uniquely evolved to physically alter its structure to achieve different functions. The eyes may focus the lens and physically contract the rear of the eye to increase the density of rods, allowing for extreme low-light vision, albeit colorless vision and at great risk of bright lights harming the eye and causing pain. A similar process can be performed to focus a Tajara’s vision at a far target. The eye contracts in a different manner to focus at great lengths, effectively extending one’s vision. While a Tajara can attempt to use low-light and far-vision at the same time, it often results in diminished low-light vision at distance, and can be painful when performed for long periods of time. To protect the eye from snow blindness and keep the eye moist against wind, Tajaran eyes have nictitating membranes.

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. Tajaran ears, similarly to Tajaran eyes, are capable of contorting their physical structure to achieve different goals. The ears can shift to amplify quieter noises, at risk of damage and pain should a loud noise be made close to the ear. Tajaran ears are often warmer than the rest of the body as they are the primary method of heat dissipation.

Tajara possess a pair of digitigrade legs and otherwise humanoid arms. Each hand has 5 digits, each with a 1-2 cm claw. These claws are non-retractable and particularly sharp. These claws can be filed down if more dexterity is needed, however this is done with great care and caution as cutting claws too short can be incredibly incredibly painful and will expose nerves to the air. Tajaran feet carry 4 roughly equal-sized digits. These digits also have claws, however they are more blunted and hooked compared to their hand-based counterparts to assist in grip and stability on rocky or snowy surfaces.

Tajaran tails are long, semi-prehensile extremities that, while appearing not particularly useful, are vital. The place of the tail takes on a biological and societal role. Biologically, the tail is necessary for balance and environmental awareness. While Tajara may be bipedal, much of their flexibility and maneuverability is owed to the tail providing superior balance and stability. The tail has higher bundles of sensory nerves that assist in environmental awareness, notable vibrations. Societally, tails are a fundamental part of Tajaran body language and communication. Most languages require tails, either for communicating the language itself or to inflect meaning and tone into sentences. It also provides a visible display of body language.

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. However, these molars remain sharper than human molars to pierce the tough skins of Adhomian produce. Evolutionary biologists believe that predecessors to modern Tajara had rough tongues with few taste buds to facilitate eating raw meat. The contemporary species 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.

===Tajaran Build an Lifecycle===

Tajara are sexually dimorphic, however the differences are rarely notable. Males are typically taller, have broader shoulders, more pointed ears, and larger hands and feet. Females have elongated muzzles, shorter ears, and an additional set of molars. Mothers do not exhibit visible breasts until pregnancy, at which point they swell in order to provide for the young. These breasts contract around three months after birth when the young transition to normal food.
[[File:Cats.png|400px|thumb|right|An artist sketch of Tajaran dimorphism, builds, and general stance.]]
Tajaran height and weight are primarily dependent on ethnicity. However, upbringing and access to food often dictates height, with less access resulting in shorter Tajara. Heights and weights often vary. Tajara shorter or taller than the range typical for their ethnicity often face medical issues as a result.

'''M’sai:''' 160 cm to 170 cm. 80.1 kg to 90.4 kg.<br>
'''Hharar:''' 150 cm to 160 cm. 68.2 kg to 77.6 kg.<br>
'''Njarir:''' 165 cm to 175 cm. 82.5 kg to 92.8 kg.<br>
'''Zhan:''' 170 cm to 190 cm. 82.9 kg to 103.6 kg.<br>

The Tajaran lifecycle is more rapid relative to other species. A Tajaran fetus only takes 6 months to mature, with Tajaran children reaching the full extent of their physical growth by 15 or 16. Modern medicine sees most Tajara now live beyond 70 years with the oldest Tajara reaching nearly 100. However, ages beyond 80 often require intensive and expensive medical technologies. Most Tajara retire at 60 when the body becomes too aged to work.

The sleep cycle of the Tajaran species is one of their most scientifically curious features. A normal waking period is somewhere between 36 and 58 hours, with a subsequent 20 to 28 hours of sleep. Normally, the waking period is spotted with 3 to 4 15-minute naps to keep the Tajara refreshed and alert. This is universal in all worlds with Tajara 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 who do not enter the sleep cycle properly, or attempt to break it in order to conform to a human sleep cycle, may find themselves groggy, aggressive, paranoid, and disoriented until their circadian rhythm is righted.

===Ethnicities===
''For information about the ethnicities, their traits, and their cultures: see [[Tajaran 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 that they play in a society to which their biological inclinations make them more suited, 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', further reinforced by their larger presence in cities. Given their status as the ‘face’ of Tajara, Hharar have grown to take over many diplomatic and public-facing jobs following the establishment of the People’s Republic of Adhomai. Hharar societally are the artisans and tradies, typically focusing on more skilled trades. Being the original urbanites, Hharar culture is what has been exported as ‘Tajaran culture’ across the Spur. They are the creators of the [[S’rendarr and Messa|Twin Suns worship]].

'''Zhan-Khazan:''' considered to be the backbone of Tajaran society. 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 body weight, they are well-suited to tasks requiring brute strength and heavy lifting. Zhan-Khazan fill the societal role of the laborer. They are the workers and managers of mines, farms, construction sites, etc. Being the dominant race in the restaurants and inns, much of Tajaran food culture comes from the Zhan-Khazan, as well as the religion of the [[Ma’ta’ke Gods]].

'''M'sai:''' 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 a vision adapted to compensate 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 First Revolution. 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 leadership roles, the arts, and the sciences.

=== Coloration ===
Fur color is the most noticeable aspect of a Tajara. It acts as a natural camouflage and is the most visible difference between the ethnicities. Ancient history saw these fur colors appear in certain regions of Adhomai, however over millennia of migration, marriage, and modern travel, every coloration of fur can be seen across Adhomai and now the Spur.

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.

'''These fur colors are suggestions and guidelines. Any one Tajara could have a variation of the colors shown, whether it be lighter or darker.'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

|-
====Hharar:====
Hharar fur coloration traces back to the proto-Hharar peoples of Southern Ras'nrr. The forests between the Rhazar and Khazan mountains alongside the fertile soil allowed for the invention of farming, and later the formation of Adhomai’s first civilizations. The Hharar people evolved to feature brown fur colorations due to the numerous woods they lived in.

|-
| '''Prairie Brown'''
Being the most common coloration of Hharar fur, Prairie Brown was once associated with the numerous Hharar working the fields across Ras’nrr. Despite this association, it is not considered the oldest fur coloration, instead being a variation that occured in those living among the fields of the warmer prairies of the Ras’nrr Heartlands.
| '''Azumah Wood'''
This fur color dates far older than the name it is associated with. Once referred to as simply “Summer Brown”, the name Azumah Wood became widespread following the massive success of a logging company in the Azumah lake region during the Steeple Peace. The wood products were advertised and sold with the image of a kochiba furred logger chopping down “Azumah grade” trees. The logging company has since then gone defunct, being known only as the source of a strange origin for the term.
| '''Harbor Brown'''
Harbor Brown carries the title of being the oldest known fur coloration among Hharar, having been the predominant coloration amongst the proto-Hharar of the Southern Ras’nrr region. However, in modern times it has been titled after the numerous harbor workers found across Adhomai, even if they no longer are a majority of sailors.

====Zhan-Khazan:====
Zhan fur colorations are the result of a long history of mountain tribes. Even during winter seasons, the darker fur colorations permitted better camouflage with the rocky terrain of the Ras’nrr mountains.

|-
| '''Rhazar Fog'''
During Sil’nryy-aysaif, the foot of the Rhazar mountains are commonly blanketed in a thick fog. The rare blue coloration of this fog became closely associated with the local Zhan population who shared a similar fur color with that of the mountain rock. Regardless, the fur coloration took on the name of the far more popular fog than the relatively mundane mountain rock.
| '''Khazan Rock Grey'''
The proto-Zhan-Khazan people were infamously put down during the Incarnate Dominion. The majority featured a dark-grey fur that became synonymous with the Zhan tribes of the Khazan mountains that the ethnicity, and fur, are now named after.
| '''Nraz’i Mud'''
Of the Zhan tribes, those in the Nraz’i mountains enjoyed the warmest winters. The hinterlands of the Sum’add coast become a muddy mess when the snow melt of the Nraz’i mountains washes onto the thawed soil. The fur color common of the region’s Zhan tribes became associated with the mud, then taking the name it has now.
| '''Cavern Black'''
Caves formed a natural home for the first Zhan’khazan to settle within. These served as strong homes and fortresses alike for the ancient peoples. It is not believed that these conditions resulted in the dark coloration being prevalent among the Zhan, despite old tales claiming such. This uncommon coloration originated from the southern Rhazkjara mountains.

|-
====Njarir'Akhran:====
Njarir fur colorations are the results of the extensive eugenics programs employed by the Adhomian nobilities. Through decades of careful merging of M’sai and Hharar bloodlines, along with high amounts of inbreeding, Njarir now feature the flashiest fur colors among Tajara. Despite the inherent nature of genetics, reputations for different fur colorations have taken root among noble circles even following the revolutions.

|-
| '''Steeple Light'''
Seen as the ultimate fur coloration produced by the infamous eugenics programs, Steeple Light gained its name after a Rasn’rr emperor of the early Steeple Peace declared his fur, a bright orange, to be the manifestation of S’rendarr’s light. Some esoteric circles in the New Kingdom have adopted this belief upon its rediscovery. While the emperor’s name was lost to the books burned in the First Revolution, his declaration remains as the name of this fur coloration. It is a highly sought after coloration among nobles.
| '''Hadii Red'''
Once a mundane coloration, Hadii Red has become an intimidating presence following the rise of the Hadii Dynasty. The vast majority of the family has some variation of this fur, with many rumors claiming they place great effort and care that the coloration is maintained in their offspring. It is an uncommon joke for Njarir who have this fur to say that they’re secretly a Hadii.
| '''Ras’val Royal'''
Many of the noble families who came to rule the regions surrounding the Ras’val sea featured the ruddy coloration of what is now known as Ras’val Royal. While previously considered the coloration of middling nobles, the rise of the Azunja family to the head of the New Kingdom has led to the coloration being perceived as the height of royalty.
| '''Half-Knuckle White'''
This fur color was common among lower nobility across Adhomai during the Steeple peace. The term Half-Knuckle White was coined as a slur against those nobles who were seen as fraternizing too much with their enforcers resulting in a “washed out” fur color. Genetic research shows that these claims had little backing, but this has yet to make an effect on the thoroughly cemented name.

{| align:Center
|-
====M'sai:====
M’sai fur is the result of the behaviors of proto-M’sai. Having been a nomadic people of the open prairies in Ras’nrr, the light fur color was often the only way Tajaran hunters were capable of hiding or blending into the environment.

|-
| '''Zarragh Washoff'''
Considered the most recent evolution of fur color, Zarragh Washoff garnered its name in the Zarr’jirah mountains. The lake-effect snow of the northern lake gained the name “washoff” due to how the new layers of snow would conceal rock and dirt chips on older snow, making the mountains easier to blend into.
| '''Field Snow'''
Field Snow is arguably the most common fur coloration amongst M’sai. Characteristic of the proto-M’sai hailing from the fields of the Nraz’i basin, upon the arrival of the nomadic tribes to Souther Ras'nrr the native proto-Hharar began to refer to their coloration as “Field Snow” after the coloration of fresh snow on the Ras’nrr prairies.
| '''Fatshouter White'''
Named after the coloration of fatshouter milk before processing, this coloration has dubious origins. Written history on much of the proto-m’sai peoples were sparse, however prevailing research suggests Fatshouter white primarily comes from those M’sai nomads from the inner western coast of the Nraz’i basin.
| '''Enforcer Silver'''
Being the second most common fur coloration of the M’sai people, Enforcer Silver garnered its name through association with the dreaded noble enforcers of history. The name was reinforced in older times when many noble families began to stamp enforcer insignias in silver, which often came close to the fur color of many M’sai who wore them.

==History==
''See also: [[Tajaran 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 the 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 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 their lower influence on the other nobility. It was during 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 the 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 labor 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 nobles 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 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. Older Tajara considered these large creations 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. Legislations were 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, and 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 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 to 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 the First Revolution, the Hadii emerged as the victorious faction. They had annexed, through diplomacy or war, the remaining factions. Human corporations took an express interest in the Hadii dynasty; they were one of the few noble families who saw profit in human stakes on Adhomai, and many back-room deals were made to secure the Hadii's position in the new Government. In '''2432 CE''', the People's Republic of Adhomai was officially declared, with '''Al'mari Hadii''', also known as Rhagrrhuzau Hadii, as its leader. The Tajaran public was markedly distressed by this turn of 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, had a monopoly over the majority of the planet's valuables. Collaboration between the People's Republic, the Sol Alliance, and the Nralakk Federation have resulted in more technological advances in Tajaran society recently than ever before in their recorded history. The People's Republic began campaigns to quickly industrialize Adhomai and educate its people. Approval ratings for the current leadership rose in response.

However, serious problems remained. '''Al'mari 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, Al'mari 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 among Adhomai's major power figures since Al'mari'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, Al'mari Hadii. In 2451 CE, during a military parade, President Al'mari was assassinated by Tufir Nazzirai. A known secret service agent of the People's Republic, the radical was swiftly sentenced to death for his betrayal, which claimed to be brought on by the violent tendencies of his Zhan-Khazan genetics. His brother and vice-president '''Njadrasanukii Hadii''', also known as Malik 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 Al'Mari Hadii. The single most defining moment of this generation of Tajara.]]

While Al'mari implemented his new policies, the People's Republic saw the return of a surviving dynasty, the Azunja, in the form of an uprising in its most remote region. This faction, the New Kingdom of Adhomai, attempted to bring back monarchism to Adhomai through a constitutional monarchy.

Many military generals who had fought for the Republic soon defected under the banner of the Adhomai Liberation Army, the leader of which being Al'mari's old friend and ally, '''Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan''', who claimed that he wanted to take control of the People's Republic to finally out Al'mari's legacy. "His gun was on stun" became the rallying cry of Nated's fiercest supporters 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.

With these two rebellions, Adhomai found itself embroiled in yet another global conflict.

===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 Nralakk. 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:Adhomaimodernmap.png|300px|thumb|A map of modern-day Adhomai.]]

===[[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 its 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 called 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 Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan]].

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; a 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==
===Names===
Native Tajaran names have changed over the storied history of the species. The earliest record of naming conventions appears in the Warring Kings era, where the usage of dynastic titles became a standard part of the Tajaran name as a way to distinguish which noble a given serf worked under. Since then, names changed as more titles were attached. Jobs, personality traits, status, titles, age, given names, and more have been combined to produce the infamously long and unwieldy names associated with history. Following the declaration of the Steeple Peace, nobles across Adhomai standardized to a new scheme which continues to persist among the Tajaran people.

Every name features three aspects: The individual, the dynasty, and the purpose. Xeno-linguists associate these aspects to the human concepts of the given name, the family name, and the job title respectively. This has resulted in debate over forced associations, as each aspect has a different connotation than what humans may expect, namely the Dynasty. Unlike humans, family names are only found with noble dynasties. This has led to many xeno organizations to assume that Tajara associate with large extended families.

The Individual aspect is the personal part of a Tajara’s name. Parents will provide their child with the Individual aspect in hopes that the phrase or word used will become a part of the Tajara's person. It is not uncommon for Tajara to bear the names of gods or powerful figures, or for others to be named after abstract, religious, or ideological concepts.
The Dynasty aspect is the standardized part of a Tajara’s name. Following the First Revolution, the Hadiist government mandated the Dynasty aspect be named after the birthplace of an individual as a means to remove the influences of the nobility. Those stubborn Tajara born before the end of the First Revolution, or those now living in the New Kingdom, often refused to change their Dynasty aspect, continuing to reflect the noble family they serve or are a part of.

The Purpose aspect previously was the utilitarian part of a Tajara’s name. The aspect reflected a job or trade, an essential piece of information within a community. However, since the end of the first revolution, the need for static names to lessen the bureaucratic burden resulted in many Purpose aspects turning into a form of family name, a newer and still contentious concept for Tajara. With the number of regional dialects and multiple titles for the same trade or job, Purpose aspects are rarely the same across Adhomai. In some cases, two families joining together in marriage would combine their two aspects to form a new one.

While a Tajara’s name contains all three aspects, the usage of all three is not required. Most Tajara will utilize the Individual and Purpose aspect, however traditionalists and nobility expect the use of the Dynasty aspect. All Tajara on the Horizon may use only '''two aspects'''.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%">
The following guide is '''not required'''. Native names can vary based on parentage, region, and numerous other factors. This guide is a structured option, however other options include taking inspiration from the [[Notable Tajara]] page, and heavily modifying Eastern European or Arabic names.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
To create a native Tajaran name, you will need to access the '''unofficial''' translator [http://mk.darkserver.co.uk/lang/index.php here]. Select Siik’maas under the language drop down. By typing in certain words or phrases, then translating, you can utilize Tajaran words to create a name. Typically, you will want to connect multiple Tajaran words with an apostrophe or hyphen, however combining two words without a space is acceptable.

*For the Individual aspect, use a phrase, trait, or concept.
**For example: Love becomes Azutul. S'rendarr's Warmth (Kirmah rajzir. Zir) becomes Kirmah’rajzir.
*For the Dynasty aspect, you may use any text you prefer. Regions and cities with royalty or dynasty attached usually garners better results. Hadiists typically utilize the name of the city or region they were born.
**For example: Kaltir Royalty (Jurlket mir mrra) becomes Jurlket’mir. Nal’tor (Jri chur) becomes Jri’chur
*For the Purpose aspect, use the title of the job or craft of the Tajara. Use multiple versions of a given job or trade for better results.
**For example: Police Officer (Kaii'r manq rir) becomes Kaii’rirmanq. Prince becomes Vahkal.
*The final name becomes: Azutul Jurlket’mir Kaii’rirmanq.
**From this, you can tell the individual is Azutul or named love, whose liege is the Jurlket’mir or Kaltir Royalty, and performs work as a Kaii’rirmanq or officer.

The translator output rarely gives a word or name ready for use. Modification will be required as seen in the examples provided. This also means that names cannot be decoded.

==== Xeno-Influenced Names ====

Given native tajaran names are difficult for humans to pronounce, the PRA once encouraged the use of humanized names. This resulted in many Tajara taking on names derived from Eastern European or Arabic origin, as xeno-linguists found these the easiest for Tajara to pronounce. Following the transition of power from Al’marii to President Hadii, the PRA has walked back on this stance and since issued a decree to encourage citizens retake their native names as a form of pride in tradition and loyalty to the party. Many Hadiists have heeded this decree and returned to their native names, however a sizable population continues to use their adopted names. Given Tajara may have multiple names, the Adhomian governments are more dedicated in the tracking of names.

===Language===
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 Tajaran languages such as Siik’Maas or Siik’tajr is not forbidden by SCC 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 the 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. 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.

Tajaran culture necessitates a separation of the personal self and the external self. This cultural force can be traced back to the early worship of the Twin Suns, which throughout its history has emphasized a separation of personal and public matters. This separation was later reinforced by the nobility, eventually becoming an embedded part of all Tajaran languages. The result is a grammatical structure that separates the private and public self. In Tau Ceti Basic, this has been translated into the use of first, second, and third person pronouns as the closest fit.

The public self, third-person pronouns (he/him, she/her), is the formal state. It shows respect and a distancing of one’s personal matters from others. Traditionalist Tajara would expect the use of the Dynasty aspect and appropriate titles when speaking in the public self. However, those from progressive regions rarely pay attention to the use of aspects as the weight of dynasties and the nobility is not present. Strangers meeting, a subordinate addressing a superior, and other cases where formality and respect is expected uses the public self.
<blockquote>
"'''His''' greetings to the '''madam'''."

In this line, Person A speaks to Person B's public self through his own. As Person A does not know Person B’s name or title, madam is used to maintain respect.
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
“Hello '''Officer Smith'''. She is '''chef Al-Kandari'''.”

Person A addresses Person B, a human, through their title and last name. Person A maintains the public self through the use of her own title and Dynasty aspect.
</blockquote>

The use of second-person pronouns (you/your) can depend on where someone is from. Non-traditionalist regions, such as the Hadiist lands, don’t consider second-person pronouns formal or informal. Traditional cultures, such as the New Kingdom, find second-person pronouns informal. In this latter case, it is reserved for use by a superior addressing a subordinate or similar cases.
<blockquote>
“'''You''' need to handle that report by tomorrow. '''She''' will ensure it shows on '''your''' performance review otherwise.”

Person A addresses Person B through the personal self (you/your). It shows that Person A is either disrespectful, a superior, or from regions where the use of ‘you’ is not informal.
</blockquote>
The personal self, first-person pronouns (I/me/mine), is the informal state. It is addressing matters on a personal level where formality is not required, or genuinity is desired. The Individual aspect can be used by itself in this state. Close friends, personal moments, and similar matters would use the personal self.
<blockquote>
“'''I''' am unsure what '''you''' mean by this. '''Your''' proposal vexes '''me'''.”

Person A uses the personal self and addresses Person B in the personal self. This establishes a close and informal conversation or is used to disrespect Person B by addressing them directly.
</blockquote>
Transitioning from public to personal selfs is easy. The initiator who desires to make the conversation informal starts by referring to themself in the personal self. If the other participants agree to make a conversation informal, then they respond in kind using the personal self. Otherwise, they may continue to use the public self and maintain the conversation’s formality.
<blockquote>
"No, '''I''' simply wanted to be introduced to '''her'''. '''My''' name is '''Abdal Akhtarov'''."

Person A steps into the personal self but is still speaking to Person B through her public self. This is an invitation to personal conversation, done respectfully by not involving Person B's personal self directly.
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
"Hello, '''Mr. Akhtarov'''. '''I''' am '''Aisha'''. Does '''he''' wish to speak elsewhere?"

Person B is still speaking to Person A's public self, however refers to herself in the personal self, accepting the invitation to an informal conversation. In the following conversation, it would be acceptable for both to use personal self.
</blockquote>
The use of the public and personal self by non-Tajara can be jarring for those not acclimated to human environments. Tajara not used to human space can find it disrespectful how the use of the personal self is standard. Those acclimated to non-Tajaran patterns of speech rarely take issue with the lack of distinction between public and personal self. Referring to a non-Tajara through informal pronouns is broadly acceptable, however the use of first-person pronouns, the personal self, as a default often takes years in human space and a concerted effort for a Tajara to transition to.

==== Slang/Terminology ====
Tajara, like every species, has a wide variety of slang terms in both Tajaran languages and Tau Ceti Basic. While no list can be truly comprehensive, as slang is ever changing, certain phrases and terms have become widespread enough to be known by nearly all Tajara.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:auto"
|-
! Phrase !! Meaning !! Origin
|-
| T'zivr/Tivr || Xeno, Human || Beginning as a term for solely humans, T'zivr, or "furless", grew to incorporate all aliens as a whole. The term is not wholly considered derogatory, however is seen as less acceptable than xeno or alien.
|-
| Dornshky || Furless || A strong insult originating from the physical condition itself. While it is a common insult among Tajara, it includes a more derogatory way to refer to aliens.
|-
| T'ishk || IPCs, Robots, Hadiists || Originating from the Siik term for soulless, T'ishk became a widespread insult for Hadiists and robots alike among Little Adhomai, quickly spreading to other Tajaran communities and, ultimately, back to Adhomai.

| M'ishk || IPCs || The non-derogatory version of T'ishk, M'ishk more specifically refers to IPCs, directly translating as "artificial soul". It started as a shorthand of Manq'ishk, however quickly gained traction within the People's Republic, and later other Tajaran communities.
|-
| Sha'tajii/Shatii || Dionae || Directly translating to "wood peoples", the term began from Little Adhomai where contact between Tajara and Dionae took place frequently enough to generate a slang term.
|-
| Kirr || Vaurca || Directly translating to "insect", the slur originated from Little Adhomian gangs warring with Vaurca living in neighboring districts. The term spread rapidly following the murders of multiple Tajara ordered by Vaurca Queen Ta'Akaix'Zoleth'akeh Zo'ra.
|-
| Nav'hen || Unathi || A contraction of the phrase "dahal Nav henrhesi", translating to "dies in the cold". The phrase began as a tongue-in-cheek way to refer to Unathi mercenaries within the S'rand'marr Coalition by ALA soldiers, before spreading to Little Adhomai where it was shortened to Nav'hen.
|-
| Ratajani || Skrell || Originating from the folk tales of small, ugly, stump-tailed, neon colored creatures. Characterized as greedy and the cause of unlucky events in life, Ratajani was quickly applied to Skrell upon first contact. This use of the term as a slur quickly overtook the earlier and less derogatory use as comparison to misbehaving children.
|-
| K'strelkii || Mercenary, Corporate Drone || Translating as "money soldier", the term grew out of the spite among Tajara towards corporate busy-bodies and mercenary groups.
|-
| Rafama || Stubborn, Hard-headed, Territorial || Originating from the behavior of Rafamas on Adhomai, the term is a long historic name for any person acting particularly stubborn or stand-offish.
|-
| Raskaren || Noble, Enforcer || Based upon the mythological Raskaren, a creature of Raskara that drinks blood and is incapable of surviving sunlight. The term grew to become a slur against nobles and M'sai enforcers. While predominantly used within the [[Free Tajaran Council]], the term has been slowly spreading to Little Adhomai and Adhomai proper. It is banned within the New Kingdom.
|-
| T'Kalta || Royalist, Poor || Forming from a joke regarding the relatively high rates of poverty within the New Kingdom, T'Kalta, translating to "without money", grew in popularity across the People's Republic and Democratic People's Republic.
|-
| Njaqrii || Noble Dynasty || Translating into "noble family collective", the Njaqrii is what amounts to a dynasty. One must be a Njarir to be within a Njaqrii. These dynasties can be expansive, covering sometimes hundreds of Tajara. The distinction between dynasties is primarily determined by recognition from other Njaqrii. Given progress nations on Adhomai abhor the nobility, Njaqarii remains a matter only relevant to the [[New Kingdom of Adhomai]] and history.
|-
| Njarii || Noble House || Where Njaqrii is the noble family, Njarii is the noble "house". Njarii act, in essence, like a business centered around the matters of the Njaqrii, or sections within the Njaqrii. The Njarii includes far more individuals, spanning from servants and workers to the nobility themselves. Establishing a Njarii is a legal matter within the [[New Kingdom of Adhomai]], however in the [[People's Republic of Adhomai]] and [[Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai]], Njarii remain unrecognized or illegal.
|-
| T'Ruv || Shameless, Al'mariist || A rare Hadiist term that was applied to Al'mariists for the perceived shamelessness in illegal and underhanded tactics during the Second Revolution. The term has since grown and spread across Tajaran communities.
|-
| T'Zhunii || Hick, Redneck || Translating to "lacking desire people", the term spread as a catch-all for rural peasantry. The exact origins are believed to be a jab at the lack of time or willpower for rural peasantry to hold greater ambitions.
|-
| Vak'a || Idiot, Airhead, Bro || Originating from Little Adhomai, Vak'a spread rapidly as a general way to refer to a friend, equivalent to saying dude or bro.
|-
| Vakalnar || Grifter || Meaning "air salesman", equivalent to calling someone a snake oil salesman.
|-
| Tyrhal || Hell || Tajaran religions have no singular lands that are considered the equivalent to hell among Human religions. However, ancient tales mentioned Tyrhal, or 'land of demons'. Tyrhal was saved from obscurity when Little Adhomian residents wanted a Tajaran version of the human term hell. The term spread as a compromise for those Tajara who wanted to adopt Human mannerisms while maintaining Tajaran culture.
|-
| Azukavo/Azuvo || Love you || Not inherently slang, the use of Azuvo has become desensitized in more progressive communities of Tajara. Rather than being an intimate expression not fit for use in public, it has seen less stigma in use, albeit still associated with loved ones and close friends.
|-
| Ketvo (Ane)! || Onwards, Let's Go, To Victory || Translated literally as "March to victory!", Ketvo Ane was established as a phrase within People's Republic military leadership. Being the standard phrase to initiate movement or actions, it became widespread during the Second Revolution, even among the other nations as turncoats brought the phrase along with them. Post-war, the phrase spread rapidly.
|-
| Blinder || Overwhelming, Too Much || Descended from the concept of S’rendarr’s light being the embodiment of energy and life. Having too much of S’rendarr’s light may blind someone, therefore for something to be a Blinder it exudes too much energy, S’rendarr’s light.
|-
| Half-Knuckle || Poor, Fraternizer (Royalist) || Originating from a noble snide. Knuckles are the smallest form of currency on Adhomai, therefore to call someone a half-knuckle implies they are so poor as to only have a half-knuckle. Within Royalist society, the term additionally refers to nobles who are seen as fraternizing too much with commoners.
|-
| Top Snow || Young, Inexperienced, New || A term referring to the top layer of snow, often fresh light snow. Someone who is Top Snow is fresh, equivalent to the human term "green horn".
|-
| Washoff || Old, Undesirable, Lackluster || Referring to the runoff of melted summer snow, called washoff on Adhomai, the term grew to be used for undesirable items or people, likened at times to the phrase ‘getting long in the tooth’.
|-
| Bronzer || Jackboot, Enforcer, Cop || Descended from the bronze emblems used to denote an on-duty enforcer. Used in a derogatory manner against cops, enforcers, and authority figures alike.
|-
| Bookie || Bookworm, Royalist, Dork || Stemming from the cultural view of books as symbols of noble oppression, bookie is a term used to insult someone within progressive cultures as a royalist, or someone who tolerates or encourages noble oppression. Can also be an insult equivalent of calling someone a dork, nerd, etc.
|-
| Torcher || Friendly, Happy, Positive || Originating from the symbol of Azubarre’s torch, calling someone a torcher implies they embody Azubarre’s torch, and therefore his qualities of positivity, friendliness, and true love. Over time, the connotations associated with Azubarre, namely the more romantic elements, became less emphasized, resulting in the slang becoming a catch all for friendliness and positivity.

===Emotional Displays===
Because of their anatomy, Tajara express emotions in different ways than Humans. Baring one’s teeth is a strong expression of challenge or mockery. As such, Tajara rarely smile by showing the teeth, instead wrinkling the nose by gently lifting the sides of the muzzle. The folding of ears is a clear sign of fear or worry, while perking the ears forward shows attention or interest. Ears will involuntarily flick when exposed to loud sounds.

The semi-prehensile tail of Tajara allows for a great amount of expression. Enough emphasis has been placed on the tail as a form of expression and language that Tajara afflicted with Hakh’jar are commonly misread or have to vocalize their current emotion. Tajaran tails naturally sway, however a rapid sway or wag is a childish sign of satisfaction. Curving the tail downward and blistering is a clear sign of hostility, whereas tucking the tail down by the feet is a stress response. The flicking of the tail end is a sign of anger or anxiety.

Displays of affection among Tajara are rarely seen in public, and looked down on by traditionally minded Tajara. The common forms of affection are the bumping as muzzles or holding of the wrist. While less common, twining the tail around an ankle or wrist is seen as equivalent to holding the wrist. Intertwining tails, however, is seen as a childish expression of affection. Hugging is not seen romantically. It is seen as a transfer of body heat and thus a common act between friends, comrades, and family alike. Those acclimated to human expression may view hugging as having a romantic component in certain contexts, however this is lost on those with a traditional mindset.

Status was a major aspect of emotional expression during the times of the nobility. When interacting with another of a higher social status, it was required for the lesser of the two to lower their head and pull the ears back. Having direct eye-contact or tilting the head up was seen as a show of defiance. These expectations have since been challenged and are often disregarded if not outright rejected since the fall of the old nobility, however those traditional-minded Tajara and Royalists within the New Kingdom continue to abide by the rules of status.

===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 protect 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.

[[File:Tajara dance .png|240px|thumb|right|Two tajara wearing traditional dresses during a musical performance.]]
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.

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.

====Fur Dying====
One of the flashier aspects of fashion and looks is fur dye. History saw extensive use of early fur dyes as methods to mark oneself as part of an in-group. Certain nobles would demand their enforcers and soldiers mark the noble’s crest on their neck, back, or arms. These symbols came to be associated with royalist loyalty well into the early history of the People’s Republic. Fur dye was banned during Al’mari’s reign, deemed as royalist sentiment. These restrictions came to an end during the beginning of the Second Revolution when Malik Hadii revoked the ban and instituted it across the People’s Republic’s agencies.

In the present day, fur dye is commonly used to signify what it once did: presence in an in-group. Whether it be a mark of one’s nation, military unit, or other such matters. Fur dye as an expression of the self is a relatively new concept to mainstream society. Regardless of intent, markings from fur dye are typically small due to the cost of dyes which prohibit large or extravagant designs. Fur dyes remain almost exclusively in earthen tones and dark colors. The most popular color, due to its cheap price and wide availability, is Earthen-Root Blue (Hex: #6082B6). Few bright colors exist and are viewed as particularly disruptive and taboo.

Many complications exist with fur dyes. Care and preparation must be taken to properly dye Tajaran fur, or else the fur becomes damaged and sheds. The restrictive range of colors is due, in part, to the lack of a synthetic dye that caters to Tajaran fur. This leaves Tajara with Adhomian sourced dyes that rely upon Adhomian flora of which few vibrant colors are available compared to earthen tones. NanoTrasen remains the largest producer of Tajaran dyes, fur, and mane soaps.

=== Cuisine ===
[[File:Taj food.png|240px|thumb|right|A common Tajaran 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 were 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 long-lasting nature. 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 thrown 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 Adhomian 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 - has 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 which even learned peasants who had to pay out of pocket to access. This led to the 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.

Traveling circuses have been present in the Tajaran culture since ancient times. Joining a troupe was one of the few available ways for a Tajara to escape the rigid roles of the caste system. Performances usually include trained animals, acrobatics, storytelling, puppetry, strength displays, magic performance, creep shows, and stores selling all kinds of food and curiosities. Since circus schools only started to appear after the First Revolution, artists frequently transmitted their techniques to their pupils. Due to the previous conflicts and the ongoing cold war, wandering troupes face large barriers than ever before. Some of the biggest circuses have left for the stars in search of a more welcoming audience than Adhomai.

===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 with 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 on 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.

Tabletop RPGs and wargames are popular for Tajara in urban centers. The Tajaran tradition of storytelling lent itself to these games being easily understood and quickly enjoyed by players who saw them as an evolution of the tales that priests shared in their communities. The tabletop scene sprouted a few years following the First Revolution’s end with Siik’maas translated versions of human and skrell tabletops. These were adapted later into localized versions that then became entirely Tajaran systems. The most well-known of these games is “Global Conquest”, originally made by the PRA and then adapted by DPRA and NKA companies, this board game replicates the conquest of Adhomai by different armies. Another is “Explorators of the Unknown”, a modular game where players play as characters exploring or investigating a world of their design.

The notion of video games is unknown to the natives of 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 her village 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 players in the PRA and a larger following in the NKA. 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. Mahmrro came to be associated with the lower classes towards the end of the Steeple Peace. This attitude is visible in the NKA where nobility largely avoid playing the game. Leagues exist in every country for the game with these Mahmrro Clubs gaining much fame.

*'''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.

*'''Baghrar:''' an ancient martial art from Adhomai primarily used for sport and contests of strength. The fighting style consists of strikes against the opponent from the waist up. The form of the attacks is primarily swiping motions that take advantage of a Tajara's claws to rake an opponent's torso or head. Other moves include punching for friendlier matches or stabbing forward with the claws in typical confrontations. Modern Baghrariri, or people who practice the Baghrar style for sport, usually fight with implements that cover and support their nails to avoid serious bodily damage. Modern Baghrar fights are decided upon with a point-scoring system over three 10-minute rounds, but historical victories were secured by knocking opponents onto the ground. Baghrar has been adapted into several different styles used by Adhomaian police and army units.

====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 the 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 horizontally 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 ===
''For more information, see [[Tajaran Military Structures]]''

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 musicals. Some artistic Hharar who lived before the war give 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 that the sun god S'rendarr celebrates. Tajara under the worship of Ma'ta'ke have a less celebratory and less ritualistic ceremony, instead, they have 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.

Throughout history, the concept of gender in Tajara society varied over time. Archaeological evidence suggests that before the Incarnate Dominion, multiple identities—often related to religious practices—existed. Like everything else, the nobility's breeding project also molded the perception of gender in Adhomai. Njarir’Akhran, with their great emphasis on their bloodline, were the ones with the strictest and defined gender roles. While the Zhan-Khazan rarely cared about these definitions, seeing little distinction between them. After the revolution, gender in the Tajara society changed as well, but it did not free itself fully from the shackles of the pre-contact oppression.

In history, transgender Tajara were more common among Njarir and Hharar due to their more defined gender roles. Before the revolution, these individuals were often in a nebulous state, as they were still obligated to participate in the eugenics program. While some could still find suitable partners, others had to find other outlets, such as joining religious societies or becoming outcasts. Ma'ta'ke priesthood is open to transgender Tajara who identify as their patron god's gender. The Church of S'rand'marr rejects these notions and maintains a strong distinction within its organization based on the gender assigned at birth of its members.

Third gender and nonbinary identities have historically been associated with religious and mystical perspectives. Those who could combine and balance both aspects were typically priests or mystics, known to have achieved some form of enlightenment. Only after the revolution are these identities now explored without the trappings of the occult. The older generations are usually confused by younger individuals who identify as such, with more religious Tajara being outraged at them for appropriating something that was once sacred.

Sexual orientation was a poorly defined concept for the Tajara until the contact. With the emphasis on the caste system, most individuals were expected to have a partner of the same ethnicity with whom they could reproduce, despite their preferences. The nobility often persecuted any relationship or behavior that threatened the caste project. The nobility strictly forbade any kind of relationship with a Tajara of a different ethnicity.

After the civil war, theories and studies about gender and orientation have begun to emerge among revolutionary thinkers. The most radical theorists argued that such concepts were constructions of the old nobility to further their control, calling for forgetting such ideas in favor of new visions. Currently, the Tajara society still upholds gender roles similar to those before the contact, mainly based on one's heritage. The concept of a defined and clear sexual orientation is still fairly new. Only now free of the oppressive Njarir system, the Tajara are free to think about these matters as they develop further socially, even if frequently tainted by the lingering old prejudices. The other species' vision of these matters is seen as alien; even a traditional Tajara would not care to pass judgment on anything that does not involve their people.

Because of the Tajara's recent history as a repressive, conservative species, they still carry many prejudices from the period before the revolution. Overt displays of affection, xenophilia, and interracial relationships among Tajara are looked down on and treated as deviancy. The pre-contact nobility purposefully encouraged these sentiments to further preserve the caste system.

===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.

===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.

== 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.

* 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 can extend their vision while standing still. This is possible by using a verb in-game.
* Tajara have superior hearing, allowing them to listen intently. This provides messages on nearby machinery, explosions, and allows Tajara to hear whispered messages from further away. This is possible using a verb in-game.
* 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 ==
[[File:Tajara_Child.png|thumb|A Tajaran mother with her child.]]
Tajara are an omnivorous bipedal humanoid species. While on a surface level Tajara appear to be humanoid felines, scientifically and practically Tajara share little in common with Earth’s felines beyond certain visual elements. Tajaran bodies are strongly adapted for the Adhomian environment, an arctic and turbulent planet. Evolved to survive the harsh weather, temperatures, and hostile fauna, Tajara are well adapted to cold-weather environments, speed, and perception.

===Fur and Mane===
Tajara are covered in a layer of thick fur that provides insulation from the cold, protection from diseases, and weather solar radiation. The only regions left without fur are the pads of the hands and feet, alongside the eyes and various orifices. This fur performs extremely well at insulating against the cold and shedding snow or water. However, Tajaran fur is vulnerable to degradation caused by chemical or physical means. To counter this, damaged fur ‘sheds’ off to allow a healthy follicle to replace it. Otherwise, Tajara do not shed on a regular basis. Tajaran fur has a predetermined length at which it will not grow further, with exception to manes.

Manes are made of a unique strain of Tajaran fur that is stronger and wirier than the rest of a Tajara’s fur. Manes do not stop growth, instead they continually grow unless prevented by chemical means. The growth pattern of a mane can vary from Tajara to Tajara. It is not uncommon for manes to grow around the entire head, not unlike Earth's lion manes. Male Tajara additionally grow what amounts to beards and mustaches along the muzzle. Manes are a complex biological component for Tajara. They assist in heat regulation and insulate the ears when they are folded back into the head. The follicles assist the body in healing wounds as well as boosting the Tajaran immune system.

===Body Fat===

Body fat is stored in two ways: The fat reservoir and the fat layer. The fat reservoir is a non-essential organ within the lower body. It stores excess fats that may be used for energy, heat, or to replace lost fat in the fat layer. While the reservoir is non-essential, the loss of the reservoir can cause numerous complications. Those lacking a reservoir starve faster, lacking an essential store of energy when there is a lack of food. The reservoir’s fat also partially fuels Tajaran heat generation, meaning those without a reservoir are typically colder. The fat layer is an essential insulating layer beneath the fur. It acts as equal parts temperature insulation and physical protection, using the layer to dampen blunt trauma.

===Environmental Adaptations===

Tajaran adaptations to extremely low-temperature environments have the tendency to cause overheating issues in more mild environments. The primary methods by which Tajara expel heat are the pads of the hands and feet, as well as the ears and breath. It is common for Tajara to shorten the fur around the ears to increase heat dissipation. Typically, Tajara will attempt to cool their skin or lower their internal temperature as the insulation of the fur and fat layer also assists in keeping the cold in.

Tajara are built to favor efficient use of energy as opposed to raw strength. Tajaran muscles are lean, built for sustained use over long periods time rather than bursts of power. This is exemplified by the Tajaran gait. Specialized for movement through snow, Tajaran biology favors a consistent speed capable of trudging through snow efficiently as opposed to sprinting. Outside of snowy environments, the lack of resistance correlates to a faster walk speed. However, this does not mean Tajara are not capable of great feats of strength. Training and practice can produce strength competitive with human athletes, albeit with more effort required as the muscles produced are built for endurance and not raw power.

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 have large pupils, capable of contracting significantly faster than other creatures, sapient or otherwise. The Tajaran eye has uniquely evolved to physically alter its structure to achieve different functions. The eyes may focus the lens and physically contract the rear of the eye to increase the density of rods, allowing for extreme low-light vision, albeit colorless vision and at great risk of bright lights harming the eye and causing pain. A similar process can be performed to focus a Tajara’s vision at a far target. The eye contracts in a different manner to focus at great lengths, effectively extending one’s vision. While a Tajara can attempt to use low-light and far-vision at the same time, it often results in diminished low-light vision at distance, and can be painful when performed for long periods of time. To protect the eye from snow blindness and keep the eye moist against wind, Tajaran eyes have nictitating membranes.

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. Tajaran ears, similarly to Tajaran eyes, are capable of contorting their physical structure to achieve different goals. The ears can shift to amplify quieter noises, at risk of damage and pain should a loud noise be made close to the ear. Tajaran ears are often warmer than the rest of the body as they are the primary method of heat dissipation.

Tajara possess a pair of digitigrade legs and otherwise humanoid arms. Each hand has 5 digits, each with a 1-2 cm claw. These claws are non-retractable and particularly sharp. These claws can be filed down if more dexterity is needed, however this is done with great care and caution as cutting claws too short can be incredibly incredibly painful and will expose nerves to the air. Tajaran feet carry 4 roughly equal-sized digits. These digits also have claws, however they are more blunted and hooked compared to their hand-based counterparts to assist in grip and stability on rocky or snowy surfaces.

Tajaran tails are long, semi-prehensile extremities that, while appearing not particularly useful, are vital. The place of the tail takes on a biological and societal role. Biologically, the tail is necessary for balance and environmental awareness. While Tajara may be bipedal, much of their flexibility and maneuverability is owed to the tail providing superior balance and stability. The tail has higher bundles of sensory nerves that assist in environmental awareness, notable vibrations. Societally, tails are a fundamental part of Tajaran body language and communication. Most languages require tails, either for communicating the language itself or to inflect meaning and tone into sentences. It also provides a visible display of body language.

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. However, these molars remain sharper than human molars to pierce the tough skins of Adhomian produce. Evolutionary biologists believe that predecessors to modern Tajara had rough tongues with few taste buds to facilitate eating raw meat. The contemporary species 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.

===Tajaran Build an Lifecycle===

Tajara are sexually dimorphic, however the differences are rarely notable. Males are typically taller, have broader shoulders, more pointed ears, and larger hands and feet. Females have elongated muzzles, shorter ears, and an additional set of molars. Mothers do not exhibit visible breasts until pregnancy, at which point they swell in order to provide for the young. These breasts contract around three months after birth when the young transition to normal food.
[[File:Cats.png|400px|thumb|right|An artist sketch of Tajaran dimorphism, builds, and general stance.]]
Tajaran height and weight are primarily dependent on ethnicity. However, upbringing and access to food often dictates height, with less access resulting in shorter Tajara. Heights and weights often vary. Tajara shorter or taller than the range typical for their ethnicity often face medical issues as a result.

'''M’sai:''' 160 cm to 170 cm. 80.1 kg to 90.4 kg.<br>
'''Hharar:''' 150 cm to 160 cm. 68.2 kg to 77.6 kg.<br>
'''Njarir:''' 165 cm to 175 cm. 82.5 kg to 92.8 kg.<br>
'''Zhan:''' 170 cm to 190 cm. 82.9 kg to 103.6 kg.<br>

The Tajaran lifecycle is more rapid relative to other species. A Tajaran fetus only takes 6 months to mature, with Tajaran children reaching the full extent of their physical growth by 15 or 16. Modern medicine sees most Tajara now live beyond 70 years with the oldest Tajara reaching nearly 100. However, ages beyond 80 often require intensive and expensive medical technologies. Most Tajara retire at 60 when the body becomes too aged to work.

The sleep cycle of the Tajaran species is one of their most scientifically curious features. A normal waking period is somewhere between 36 and 58 hours, with a subsequent 20 to 28 hours of sleep. Normally, the waking period is spotted with 3 to 4 15-minute naps to keep the Tajara refreshed and alert. This is universal in all worlds with Tajara 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 who do not enter the sleep cycle properly, or attempt to break it in order to conform to a human sleep cycle, may find themselves groggy, aggressive, paranoid, and disoriented until their circadian rhythm is righted.

===Ethnicities===
''For information about the ethnicities, their traits, and their cultures: see [[Tajaran 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 that they play in a society to which their biological inclinations make them more suited, 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', further reinforced by their larger presence in cities. Given their status as the ‘face’ of Tajara, Hharar have grown to take over many diplomatic and public-facing jobs following the establishment of the People’s Republic of Adhomai. Hharar societally are the artisans and tradies, typically focusing on more skilled trades. Being the original urbanites, Hharar culture is what has been exported as ‘Tajaran culture’ across the Spur. They are the creators of the [[S’rendarr and Messa|Twin Suns worship]].

'''Zhan-Khazan:''' considered to be the backbone of Tajaran society. 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 body weight, they are well-suited to tasks requiring brute strength and heavy lifting. Zhan-Khazan fill the societal role of the laborer. They are the workers and managers of mines, farms, construction sites, etc. Being the dominant race in the restaurants and inns, much of Tajaran food culture comes from the Zhan-Khazan, as well as the religion of the [[Ma’ta’ke Gods]].

'''M'sai:''' 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 a vision adapted to compensate 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 First Revolution. 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 leadership roles, the arts, and the sciences.

=== Coloration ===
Fur color is the most noticeable aspect of a Tajara. It acts as a natural camouflage and is the most visible difference between the ethnicities. Ancient history saw these fur colors appear in certain regions of Adhomai, however over millennia of migration, marriage, and modern travel, every coloration of fur can be seen across Adhomai and now the Spur.

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.

'''These fur colors are suggestions and guidelines. Any one Tajara could have a variation of the colors shown, whether it be lighter or darker.'''

====Hharar:====
Hharar fur coloration traces back to the proto-Hharar peoples of Southern Ras'nrr. The forests between the Rhazar and Khazan mountains alongside the fertile soil allowed for the invention of farming, and later the formation of Adhomai’s first civilizations. The Hharar people evolved to feature brown fur colorations due to the numerous woods they lived in.

| '''Prairie Brown'''
Being the most common coloration of Hharar fur, Prairie Brown was once associated with the numerous Hharar working the fields across Ras’nrr. Despite this association, it is not considered the oldest fur coloration, instead being a variation that occured in those living among the fields of the warmer prairies of the Ras’nrr Heartlands.
| '''Azumah Wood'''
This fur color dates far older than the name it is associated with. Once referred to as simply “Summer Brown”, the name Azumah Wood became widespread following the massive success of a logging company in the Azumah lake region during the Steeple Peace. The wood products were advertised and sold with the image of a kochiba furred logger chopping down “Azumah grade” trees. The logging company has since then gone defunct, being known only as the source of a strange origin for the term.
| '''Harbor Brown'''
Harbor Brown carries the title of being the oldest known fur coloration among Hharar, having been the predominant coloration amongst the proto-Hharar of the Southern Ras’nrr region. However, in modern times it has been titled after the numerous harbor workers found across Adhomai, even if they no longer are a majority of sailors.

====Zhan-Khazan:====
Zhan fur colorations are the result of a long history of mountain tribes. Even during winter seasons, the darker fur colorations permitted better camouflage with the rocky terrain of the Ras’nrr mountains.

| '''Rhazar Fog'''
During Sil’nryy-aysaif, the foot of the Rhazar mountains are commonly blanketed in a thick fog. The rare blue coloration of this fog became closely associated with the local Zhan population who shared a similar fur color with that of the mountain rock. Regardless, the fur coloration took on the name of the far more popular fog than the relatively mundane mountain rock.
| '''Khazan Rock Grey'''
The proto-Zhan-Khazan people were infamously put down during the Incarnate Dominion. The majority featured a dark-grey fur that became synonymous with the Zhan tribes of the Khazan mountains that the ethnicity, and fur, are now named after.
| '''Nraz’i Mud'''
Of the Zhan tribes, those in the Nraz’i mountains enjoyed the warmest winters. The hinterlands of the Sum’add coast become a muddy mess when the snow melt of the Nraz’i mountains washes onto the thawed soil. The fur color common of the region’s Zhan tribes became associated with the mud, then taking the name it has now.
| '''Cavern Black'''
Caves formed a natural home for the first Zhan’khazan to settle within. These served as strong homes and fortresses alike for the ancient peoples. It is not believed that these conditions resulted in the dark coloration being prevalent among the Zhan, despite old tales claiming such. This uncommon coloration originated from the southern Rhazkjara mountains.

====Njarir'Akhran:====
Njarir fur colorations are the results of the extensive eugenics programs employed by the Adhomian nobilities. Through decades of careful merging of M’sai and Hharar bloodlines, along with high amounts of inbreeding, Njarir now feature the flashiest fur colors among Tajara. Despite the inherent nature of genetics, reputations for different fur colorations have taken root among noble circles even following the revolutions.

|-
| '''Steeple Light'''
Seen as the ultimate fur coloration produced by the infamous eugenics programs, Steeple Light gained its name after a Rasn’rr emperor of the early Steeple Peace declared his fur, a bright orange, to be the manifestation of S’rendarr’s light. Some esoteric circles in the New Kingdom have adopted this belief upon its rediscovery. While the emperor’s name was lost to the books burned in the First Revolution, his declaration remains as the name of this fur coloration. It is a highly sought after coloration among nobles.
| '''Hadii Red'''
Once a mundane coloration, Hadii Red has become an intimidating presence following the rise of the Hadii Dynasty. The vast majority of the family has some variation of this fur, with many rumors claiming they place great effort and care that the coloration is maintained in their offspring. It is an uncommon joke for Njarir who have this fur to say that they’re secretly a Hadii.
| '''Ras’val Royal'''
Many of the noble families who came to rule the regions surrounding the Ras’val sea featured the ruddy coloration of what is now known as Ras’val Royal. While previously considered the coloration of middling nobles, the rise of the Azunja family to the head of the New Kingdom has led to the coloration being perceived as the height of royalty.
| '''Half-Knuckle White'''
This fur color was common among lower nobility across Adhomai during the Steeple peace. The term Half-Knuckle White was coined as a slur against those nobles who were seen as fraternizing too much with their enforcers resulting in a “washed out” fur color. Genetic research shows that these claims had little backing, but this has yet to make an effect on the thoroughly cemented name.

====M'sai:====
M’sai fur is the result of the behaviors of proto-M’sai. Having been a nomadic people of the open prairies in Ras’nrr, the light fur color was often the only way Tajaran hunters were capable of hiding or blending into the environment.

|-
| '''Zarragh Washoff'''
Considered the most recent evolution of fur color, Zarragh Washoff garnered its name in the Zarr’jirah mountains. The lake-effect snow of the northern lake gained the name “washoff” due to how the new layers of snow would conceal rock and dirt chips on older snow, making the mountains easier to blend into.
| '''Field Snow'''
Field Snow is arguably the most common fur coloration amongst M’sai. Characteristic of the proto-M’sai hailing from the fields of the Nraz’i basin, upon the arrival of the nomadic tribes to Souther Ras'nrr the native proto-Hharar began to refer to their coloration as “Field Snow” after the coloration of fresh snow on the Ras’nrr prairies.
| '''Fatshouter White'''
Named after the coloration of fatshouter milk before processing, this coloration has dubious origins. Written history on much of the proto-m’sai peoples were sparse, however prevailing research suggests Fatshouter white primarily comes from those M’sai nomads from the inner western coast of the Nraz’i basin.
| '''Enforcer Silver'''
Being the second most common fur coloration of the M’sai people, Enforcer Silver garnered its name through association with the dreaded noble enforcers of history. The name was reinforced in older times when many noble families began to stamp enforcer insignias in silver, which often came close to the fur color of many M’sai who wore them.

==History==
''See also: [[Tajaran 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 the 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 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 their lower influence on the other nobility. It was during 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 the 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 labor 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 nobles 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 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. Older Tajara considered these large creations 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. Legislations were 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, and 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 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 to 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 the First Revolution, the Hadii emerged as the victorious faction. They had annexed, through diplomacy or war, the remaining factions. Human corporations took an express interest in the Hadii dynasty; they were one of the few noble families who saw profit in human stakes on Adhomai, and many back-room deals were made to secure the Hadii's position in the new Government. In '''2432 CE''', the People's Republic of Adhomai was officially declared, with '''Al'mari Hadii''', also known as Rhagrrhuzau Hadii, as its leader. The Tajaran public was markedly distressed by this turn of 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, had a monopoly over the majority of the planet's valuables. Collaboration between the People's Republic, the Sol Alliance, and the Nralakk Federation have resulted in more technological advances in Tajaran society recently than ever before in their recorded history. The People's Republic began campaigns to quickly industrialize Adhomai and educate its people. Approval ratings for the current leadership rose in response.

However, serious problems remained. '''Al'mari 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, Al'mari 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 among Adhomai's major power figures since Al'mari'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, Al'mari Hadii. In 2451 CE, during a military parade, President Al'mari was assassinated by Tufir Nazzirai. A known secret service agent of the People's Republic, the radical was swiftly sentenced to death for his betrayal, which claimed to be brought on by the violent tendencies of his Zhan-Khazan genetics. His brother and vice-president '''Njadrasanukii Hadii''', also known as Malik 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 Al'Mari Hadii. The single most defining moment of this generation of Tajara.]]

While Al'mari implemented his new policies, the People's Republic saw the return of a surviving dynasty, the Azunja, in the form of an uprising in its most remote region. This faction, the New Kingdom of Adhomai, attempted to bring back monarchism to Adhomai through a constitutional monarchy.

Many military generals who had fought for the Republic soon defected under the banner of the Adhomai Liberation Army, the leader of which being Al'mari's old friend and ally, '''Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan''', who claimed that he wanted to take control of the People's Republic to finally out Al'mari's legacy. "His gun was on stun" became the rallying cry of Nated's fiercest supporters 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.

With these two rebellions, Adhomai found itself embroiled in yet another global conflict.

===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 Nralakk. 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:Adhomaimodernmap.png|300px|thumb|A map of modern-day Adhomai.]]

===[[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 its 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 called 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 Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan]].

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; a 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.

===Names===
Native Tajaran names have changed over the storied history of the species. The earliest record of naming conventions appears in the Warring Kings era, where the usage of dynastic titles became a standard part of the Tajaran name as a way to distinguish which noble a given serf worked under. Since then, names changed as more titles were attached. Jobs, personality traits, status, titles, age, given names, and more have been combined to produce the infamously long and unwieldy names associated with history. Following the declaration of the Steeple Peace, nobles across Adhomai standardized to a new scheme which continues to persist among the Tajaran people.

Every name features three aspects: The individual, the dynasty, and the purpose. Xeno-linguists associate these aspects to the human concepts of the given name, the family name, and the job title respectively. This has resulted in debate over forced associations, as each aspect has a different connotation than what humans may expect, namely the Dynasty. Unlike humans, family names are only found with noble dynasties. This has led to many xeno organizations to assume that Tajara associate with large extended families.

The Individual aspect is the personal part of a Tajara’s name. Parents will provide their child with the Individual aspect in hopes that the phrase or word used will become a part of the Tajara's person. It is not uncommon for Tajara to bear the names of gods or powerful figures, or for others to be named after abstract, religious, or ideological concepts.
The Dynasty aspect is the standardized part of a Tajara’s name. Following the First Revolution, the Hadiist government mandated the Dynasty aspect be named after the birthplace of an individual as a means to remove the influences of the nobility. Those stubborn Tajara born before the end of the First Revolution, or those now living in the New Kingdom, often refused to change their Dynasty aspect, continuing to reflect the noble family they serve or are a part of.

The Purpose aspect previously was the utilitarian part of a Tajara’s name. The aspect reflected a job or trade, an essential piece of information within a community. However, since the end of the first revolution, the need for static names to lessen the bureaucratic burden resulted in many Purpose aspects turning into a form of family name, a newer and still contentious concept for Tajara. With the number of regional dialects and multiple titles for the same trade or job, Purpose aspects are rarely the same across Adhomai. In some cases, two families joining together in marriage would combine their two aspects to form a new one.

While a Tajara’s name contains all three aspects, the usage of all three is not required. Most Tajara will utilize the Individual and Purpose aspect, however traditionalists and nobility expect the use of the Dynasty aspect. All Tajara on the Horizon may use only '''two aspects'''.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%">
The following guide is '''not required'''. Native names can vary based on parentage, region, and numerous other factors. This guide is a structured option, however other options include taking inspiration from the [[Notable Tajara]] page, and heavily modifying Eastern European or Arabic names.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
To create a native Tajaran name, you will need to access the '''unofficial''' translator [http://mk.darkserver.co.uk/lang/index.php here]. Select Siik’maas under the language drop down. By typing in certain words or phrases, then translating, you can utilize Tajaran words to create a name. Typically, you will want to connect multiple Tajaran words with an apostrophe or hyphen, however combining two words without a space is acceptable.

*For the Individual aspect, use a phrase, trait, or concept.
**For example: Love becomes Azutul. S'rendarr's Warmth (Kirmah rajzir. Zir) becomes Kirmah’rajzir.
*For the Dynasty aspect, you may use any text you prefer. Regions and cities with royalty or dynasty attached usually garners better results. Hadiists typically utilize the name of the city or region they were born.
**For example: Kaltir Royalty (Jurlket mir mrra) becomes Jurlket’mir. Nal’tor (Jri chur) becomes Jri’chur
*For the Purpose aspect, use the title of the job or craft of the Tajara. Use multiple versions of a given job or trade for better results.
**For example: Police Officer (Kaii'r manq rir) becomes Kaii’rirmanq. Prince becomes Vahkal.
*The final name becomes: Azutul Jurlket’mir Kaii’rirmanq.
**From this, you can tell the individual is Azutul or named love, whose liege is the Jurlket’mir or Kaltir Royalty, and performs work as a Kaii’rirmanq or officer.

The translator output rarely gives a word or name ready for use. Modification will be required as seen in the examples provided. This also means that names cannot be decoded.

==== Xeno-Influenced Names ====

Given native tajaran names are difficult for humans to pronounce, the PRA once encouraged the use of humanized names. This resulted in many Tajara taking on names derived from Eastern European or Arabic origin, as xeno-linguists found these the easiest for Tajara to pronounce. Following the transition of power from Al’marii to President Hadii, the PRA has walked back on this stance and since issued a decree to encourage citizens retake their native names as a form of pride in tradition and loyalty to the party. Many Hadiists have heeded this decree and returned to their native names, however a sizable population continues to use their adopted names. Given Tajara may have multiple names, the Adhomian governments are more dedicated in the tracking of names.

===Language===
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 Tajaran languages such as Siik’Maas or Siik’tajr is not forbidden by SCC 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 the 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. 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.

Tajaran culture necessitates a separation of the personal self and the external self. This cultural force can be traced back to the early worship of the Twin Suns, which throughout its history has emphasized a separation of personal and public matters. This separation was later reinforced by the nobility, eventually becoming an embedded part of all Tajaran languages. The result is a grammatical structure that separates the private and public self. In Tau Ceti Basic, this has been translated into the use of first, second, and third person pronouns as the closest fit.

The public self, third-person pronouns (he/him, she/her), is the formal state. It shows respect and a distancing of one’s personal matters from others. Traditionalist Tajara would expect the use of the Dynasty aspect and appropriate titles when speaking in the public self. However, those from progressive regions rarely pay attention to the use of aspects as the weight of dynasties and the nobility is not present. Strangers meeting, a subordinate addressing a superior, and other cases where formality and respect is expected uses the public self.
<blockquote>
"'''His''' greetings to the '''madam'''."

In this line, Person A speaks to Person B's public self through his own. As Person A does not know Person B’s name or title, madam is used to maintain respect.
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
“Hello '''Officer Smith'''. She is '''chef Al-Kandari'''.”

Person A addresses Person B, a human, through their title and last name. Person A maintains the public self through the use of her own title and Dynasty aspect.
</blockquote>

The use of second-person pronouns (you/your) can depend on where someone is from. Non-traditionalist regions, such as the Hadiist lands, don’t consider second-person pronouns formal or informal. Traditional cultures, such as the New Kingdom, find second-person pronouns informal. In this latter case, it is reserved for use by a superior addressing a subordinate or similar cases.
<blockquote>
“'''You''' need to handle that report by tomorrow. '''She''' will ensure it shows on '''your''' performance review otherwise.”

Person A addresses Person B through the personal self (you/your). It shows that Person A is either disrespectful, a superior, or from regions where the use of ‘you’ is not informal.
</blockquote>
The personal self, first-person pronouns (I/me/mine), is the informal state. It is addressing matters on a personal level where formality is not required, or genuinity is desired. The Individual aspect can be used by itself in this state. Close friends, personal moments, and similar matters would use the personal self.
<blockquote>
“'''I''' am unsure what '''you''' mean by this. '''Your''' proposal vexes '''me'''.”

Person A uses the personal self and addresses Person B in the personal self. This establishes a close and informal conversation or is used to disrespect Person B by addressing them directly.
</blockquote>
Transitioning from public to personal selfs is easy. The initiator who desires to make the conversation informal starts by referring to themself in the personal self. If the other participants agree to make a conversation informal, then they respond in kind using the personal self. Otherwise, they may continue to use the public self and maintain the conversation’s formality.
<blockquote>
"No, '''I''' simply wanted to be introduced to '''her'''. '''My''' name is '''Abdal Akhtarov'''."

Person A steps into the personal self but is still speaking to Person B through her public self. This is an invitation to personal conversation, done respectfully by not involving Person B's personal self directly.
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
"Hello, '''Mr. Akhtarov'''. '''I''' am '''Aisha'''. Does '''he''' wish to speak elsewhere?"

Person B is still speaking to Person A's public self, however refers to herself in the personal self, accepting the invitation to an informal conversation. In the following conversation, it would be acceptable for both to use personal self.
</blockquote>
The use of the public and personal self by non-Tajara can be jarring for those not acclimated to human environments. Tajara not used to human space can find it disrespectful how the use of the personal self is standard. Those acclimated to non-Tajaran patterns of speech rarely take issue with the lack of distinction between public and personal self. Referring to a non-Tajara through informal pronouns is broadly acceptable, however the use of first-person pronouns, the personal self, as a default often takes years in human space and a concerted effort for a Tajara to transition to.

==== Slang/Terminology ====
Tajara, like every species, has a wide variety of slang terms in both Tajaran languages and Tau Ceti Basic. While no list can be truly comprehensive, as slang is ever changing, certain phrases and terms have become widespread enough to be known by nearly all Tajara.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:auto"
|-
! Phrase !! Meaning !! Origin
|-
| T'zivr/Tivr || Xeno, Human || Beginning as a term for solely humans, T'zivr, or "furless", grew to incorporate all aliens as a whole. The term is not wholly considered derogatory, however is seen as less acceptable than xeno or alien.
|-
| Dornshky || Furless || A strong insult originating from the physical condition itself. While it is a common insult among Tajara, it includes a more derogatory way to refer to aliens.
|-
| T'ishk || IPCs, Robots, Hadiists || Originating from the Siik term for soulless, T'ishk became a widespread insult for Hadiists and robots alike among Little Adhomai, quickly spreading to other Tajaran communities and, ultimately, back to Adhomai.
|-
| M'ishk || IPCs || The non-derogatory version of T'ishk, M'ishk more specifically refers to IPCs, directly translating as "artificial soul". It started as a shorthand of Manq'ishk, however quickly gained traction within the People's Republic, and later other Tajaran communities.
|-
| Sha'tajii/Shatii || Dionae || Directly translating to "wood peoples", the term began from Little Adhomai where contact between Tajara and Dionae took place frequently enough to generate a slang term.
|-
| Kirr || Vaurca || Directly translating to "insect", the slur originated from Little Adhomian gangs warring with Vaurca living in neighboring districts. The term spread rapidly following the murders of multiple Tajara ordered by Vaurca Queen Ta'Akaix'Zoleth'akeh Zo'ra.
|-
| Nav'hen || Unathi || A contraction of the phrase "dahal Nav henrhesi", translating to "dies in the cold". The phrase began as a tongue-in-cheek way to refer to Unathi mercenaries within the S'rand'marr Coalition by ALA soldiers, before spreading to Little Adhomai where it was shortened to Nav'hen.
|-
| Ratajani || Skrell || Originating from the folk tales of small, ugly, stump-tailed, neon colored creatures. Characterized as greedy and the cause of unlucky events in life, Ratajani was quickly applied to Skrell upon first contact. This use of the term as a slur quickly overtook the earlier and less derogatory use as comparison to misbehaving children.
|-
| K'strelkii || Mercenary, Corporate Drone || Translating as "money soldier", the term grew out of the spite among Tajara towards corporate busy-bodies and mercenary groups.
|-
| Rafama || Stubborn, Hard-headed, Territorial || Originating from the behavior of Rafamas on Adhomai, the term is a long historic name for any person acting particularly stubborn or stand-offish.
|-
| Raskaren || Noble, Enforcer || Based upon the mythological Raskaren, a creature of Raskara that drinks blood and is incapable of surviving sunlight. The term grew to become a slur against nobles and M'sai enforcers. While predominantly used within the [[Free Tajaran Council]], the term has been slowly spreading to Little Adhomai and Adhomai proper. It is banned within the New Kingdom.
|-
| T'Kalta || Royalist, Poor || Forming from a joke regarding the relatively high rates of poverty within the New Kingdom, T'Kalta, translating to "without money", grew in popularity across the People's Republic and Democratic People's Republic.
|-
| Njaqrii || Noble Dynasty || Translating into "noble family collective", the Njaqrii is what amounts to a dynasty. However, unlike human families that, in some cultures, may be declared regardless of status, Tajaran Njaqrii are purely noble matters. One must be a Njarir to be within a Njaqrii. These dynasties can be expansive, covering sometimes hundreds of Tajara. The distinction between dynasties is primarily determined by recognition from other Njaqrii. Given progress nations on Adhomai abhor the nobility, Njaqarii remains a matter only relevant to the [[New Kingdom of Adhomai]] and history.
|-
| Njarii || Noble House || Where Njaqrii is the noble family, Njarii is the noble "house". Njarii act, in essence, like a business centered around the matters of the Njaqrii, or sections within the Njaqrii. The Njarii includes far more individuals, spanning from servants and workers to the nobility themselves. Establishing a Njarii is a legal matter within the [[New Kingdom of Adhomai]], however in the [[People's Republic of Adhomai]] and [[Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai]], Njarii remain unrecognized or illegal.
|-
| T'Ruv || Shameless, Al'mariist || A rare Hadiist term that was applied to Al'mariists for the perceived shamelessness in illegal and underhanded tactics during the Second Revolution. The term has since grown and spread across Tajaran communities.
|-
| T'Zhunii || Hick, Redneck || Translating to "lacking desire people", the term spread as a catch-all for rural peasantry. The exact origins are believed to be a jab at the lack of time or willpower for rural peasantry to hold greater ambitions.
|-
| Vak'a || Idiot, Airhead, Bro || Originating from Little Adhomai, Vak'a spread rapidly as a general way to refer to a friend, equivalent to saying dude or bro.
|-
| Vakalnar || Grifter || Meaning "air salesman", equivalent to calling someone a snake oil salesman.
|-
| Tyrhal || Hell || Tajaran religions have no singular lands that are considered the equivalent to hell among Human religions. However, ancient tales mentioned Tyrhal, or 'land of demons'. Tyrhal was saved from obscurity when Little Adhomian residents wanted a Tajaran version of the human term hell. The term spread as a compromise for those Tajara who wanted to adopt Human mannerisms while maintaining Tajaran culture.
|-
| Azukavo/Azuvo || Love you || Not inherently slang, the use of Azuvo has become desensitized in more progressive communities of Tajara. Rather than being an intimate expression not fit for use in public, it has seen less stigma in use, albeit still associated with loved ones and close friends.
|-
| Ketvo (Ane)! || Onwards, Let's Go, To Victory || Translated literally as "March to victory!", Ketvo Ane was established as a phrase within People's Republic military leadership. Being the standard phrase to initiate movement or actions, it became widespread during the Second Revolution, even among the other nations as turncoats brought the phrase along with them. Post-war, the phrase spread rapidly.
|-
| Blinder || Overwhelming, Too Much || Descended from the concept of S’rendarr’s light being the embodiment of energy and life. Having too much of S’rendarr’s light may blind someone, therefore for something to be a Blinder it exudes too much energy, S’rendarr’s light.
|-
| Half-Knuckle || Poor, Fraternizer (Royalist) || Originating from a noble snide. Knuckles are the smallest form of currency on Adhomai, therefore to call someone a half-knuckle implies they are so poor as to only have a half-knuckle. Within Royalist society, the term additionally refers to nobles who are seen as fraternizing too much with commoners.
|-
| Top Snow || Young, Inexperienced, New || A term referring to the top layer of snow, often fresh light snow. Someone who is Top Snow is fresh, equivalent to the human term "green horn".
|-
| Washoff || Old, Undesirable, Lackluster || Referring to the runoff of melted summer snow, called washoff on Adhomai, the term grew to be used for undesirable items or people, likened at times to the phrase ‘getting long in the tooth’.
|-
| Bronzer || Jackboot, Enforcer, Cop || Descended from the bronze emblems used to denote an on-duty enforcer. Used in a derogatory manner against cops, enforcers, and authority figures alike.
|-
| Bookie || Bookworm, Royalist, Dork || Stemming from the cultural view of books as symbols of noble oppression, bookie is a term used to insult someone within progressive cultures as a royalist, or someone who tolerates or encourages noble oppression. Can also be an insult equivalent of calling someone a dork, nerd, etc.
|-
| Torcher || Friendly, Happy, Positive || Originating from the symbol of Azubarre’s torch, calling someone a torcher implies they embody Azubarre’s torch, and therefore his qualities of positivity, friendliness, and true love. Over time, the connotations associated with Azubarre, namely the more romantic elements, became less emphasized, resulting in the slang becoming a catch all for friendliness and positivity.

===Emotional Displays===
Because of their anatomy, Tajara express emotions in different ways than Humans. Baring one’s teeth is a strong expression of challenge or mockery. As such, Tajara rarely smile by showing the teeth, instead wrinkling the nose by gently lifting the sides of the muzzle. The folding of ears is a clear sign of fear or worry, while perking the ears forward shows attention or interest. Ears will involuntarily flick when exposed to loud sounds.

The semi-prehensile tail of Tajara allows for a great amount of expression. Enough emphasis has been placed on the tail as a form of expression and language that Tajara afflicted with Hakh’jar are commonly misread or have to vocalize their current emotion. Tajaran tails naturally sway, however a rapid sway or wag is a childish sign of satisfaction. Curving the tail downward and blistering is a clear sign of hostility, whereas tucking the tail down by the feet is a stress response. The flicking of the tail end is a sign of anger or anxiety.

Displays of affection among Tajara are rarely seen in public, and looked down on by traditionally minded Tajara. The common forms of affection are the bumping as muzzles or holding of the wrist. While less common, twining the tail around an ankle or wrist is seen as equivalent to holding the wrist. Intertwining tails, however, is seen as a childish expression of affection. Hugging is not seen romantically. It is seen as a transfer of body heat and thus a common act between friends, comrades, and family alike. Those acclimated to human expression may view hugging as having a romantic component in certain contexts, however this is lost on those with a traditional mindset.

Status was a major aspect of emotional expression during the times of the nobility. When interacting with another of a higher social status, it was required for the lesser of the two to lower their head and pull the ears back. Having direct eye-contact or tilting the head up was seen as a show of defiance. These expectations have since been challenged and are often disregarded if not outright rejected since the fall of the old nobility, however those traditional-minded Tajara and Royalists within the New Kingdom continue to abide by the rules of status.

===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 protect 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.

[[File:Tajara dance .png|240px|thumb|right|Two tajara wearing traditional dresses during a musical performance.]]
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.

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.

====Fur Dying====
One of the flashier aspects of fashion and looks is fur dye. History saw extensive use of early fur dyes as methods to mark oneself as part of an in-group. Certain nobles would demand their enforcers and soldiers mark the noble’s crest on their neck, back, or arms. These symbols came to be associated with royalist loyalty well into the early history of the People’s Republic. Fur dye was banned during Al’mari’s reign, deemed as royalist sentiment. These restrictions came to an end during the beginning of the Second Revolution when Malik Hadii revoked the ban and instituted it across the People’s Republic’s agencies.

In the present day, fur dye is commonly used to signify what it once did: presence in an in-group. Whether it be a mark of one’s nation, military unit, or other such matters. Fur dye as an expression of the self is a relatively new concept to mainstream society. Regardless of intent, markings from fur dye are typically small due to the cost of dyes which prohibit large or extravagant designs. Fur dyes remain almost exclusively in earthen tones and dark colors. The most popular color, due to its cheap price and wide availability, is Earthen-Root Blue (Hex: #6082B6). Few bright colors exist and are viewed as particularly disruptive and taboo.

Many complications exist with fur dyes. Care and preparation must be taken to properly dye Tajaran fur, or else the fur becomes damaged and sheds. The restrictive range of colors is due, in part, to the lack of a synthetic dye that caters to Tajaran fur. This leaves Tajara with Adhomian sourced dyes that rely upon Adhomian flora of which few vibrant colors are available compared to earthen tones. NanoTrasen remains the largest producer of Tajaran dyes, fur, and mane soaps.

=== Cuisine ===
[[File:Taj food.png|240px|thumb|right|A common Tajaran 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 were 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 long-lasting nature. 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 thrown 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 Adhomian 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 - has 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 which even learned peasants who had to pay out of pocket to access. This led to the 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.

Traveling circuses have been present in the Tajaran culture since ancient times. Joining a troupe was one of the few available ways for a Tajara to escape the rigid roles of the caste system. Performances usually include trained animals, acrobatics, storytelling, puppetry, strength displays, magic performance, creep shows, and stores selling all kinds of food and curiosities. Since circus schools only started to appear after the First Revolution, artists frequently transmitted their techniques to their pupils. Due to the previous conflicts and the ongoing cold war, wandering troupes face large barriers than ever before. Some of the biggest circuses have left for the stars in search of a more welcoming audience than Adhomai.

===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 with 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 on 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.

Tabletop RPGs and wargames are popular for Tajara in urban centers. The Tajaran tradition of storytelling lent itself to these games being easily understood and quickly enjoyed by players who saw them as an evolution of the tales that priests shared in their communities. The tabletop scene sprouted a few years following the First Revolution’s end with Siik’maas translated versions of human and skrell tabletops. These were adapted later into localized versions that then became entirely Tajaran systems. The most well-known of these games is “Global Conquest”, originally made by the PRA and then adapted by DPRA and NKA companies, this board game replicates the conquest of Adhomai by different armies. Another is “Explorators of the Unknown”, a modular game where players play as characters exploring or investigating a world of their design.

The notion of video games is unknown to the natives of 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 her village 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 players in the PRA and a larger following in the NKA. 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. Mahmrro came to be associated with the lower classes towards the end of the Steeple Peace. This attitude is visible in the NKA where nobility largely avoid playing the game. Leagues exist in every country for the game with these Mahmrro Clubs gaining much fame.

*'''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.

*'''Baghrar:''' an ancient martial art from Adhomai primarily used for sport and contests of strength. The fighting style consists of strikes against the opponent from the waist up. The form of the attacks is primarily swiping motions that take advantage of a Tajara's claws to rake an opponent's torso or head. Other moves include punching for friendlier matches or stabbing forward with the claws in typical confrontations. Modern Baghrariri, or people who practice the Baghrar style for sport, usually fight with implements that cover and support their nails to avoid serious bodily damage. Modern Baghrar fights are decided upon with a point-scoring system over three 10-minute rounds, but historical victories were secured by knocking opponents onto the ground. Baghrar has been adapted into several different styles used by Adhomaian police and army units.

====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 the 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 horizontally 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 ===
''For more information, see [[Tajaran Military Structures]]''

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 musicals. Some artistic Hharar who lived before the war give 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 that the sun god S'rendarr celebrates. Tajara under the worship of Ma'ta'ke have a less celebratory and less ritualistic ceremony, instead, they have 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.

Throughout history, the concept of gender in Tajara society varied over time. Archaeological evidence suggests that before the Incarnate Dominion, multiple identities—often related to religious practices—existed. Like everything else, the nobility's breeding project also molded the perception of gender in Adhomai. Njarir’Akhran, with their great emphasis on their bloodline, were the ones with the strictest and defined gender roles. While the Zhan-Khazan rarely cared about these definitions, seeing little distinction between them. After the revolution, gender in the Tajara society changed as well, but it did not free itself fully from the shackles of the pre-contact oppression.

In history, transgender Tajara were more common among Njarir and Hharar due to their more defined gender roles. Before the revolution, these individuals were often in a nebulous state, as they were still obligated to participate in the eugenics program. While some could still find suitable partners, others had to find other outlets, such as joining religious societies or becoming outcasts. Ma'ta'ke priesthood is open to transgender Tajara who identify as their patron god's gender. The Church of S'rand'marr rejects these notions and maintains a strong distinction within its organization based on the gender assigned at birth of its members.

Third gender and nonbinary identities have historically been associated with religious and mystical perspectives. Those who could combine and balance both aspects were typically priests or mystics, known to have achieved some form of enlightenment. Only after the revolution are these identities now explored without the trappings of the occult. The older generations are usually confused by younger individuals who identify as such, with more religious Tajara being outraged at them for appropriating something that was once sacred.

Sexual orientation was a poorly defined concept for the Tajara until the contact. With the emphasis on the caste system, most individuals were expected to have a partner of the same ethnicity with whom they could reproduce, despite their preferences. The nobility often persecuted any relationship or behavior that threatened the caste project. The nobility strictly forbade any kind of relationship with a Tajara of a different ethnicity.

After the civil war, theories and studies about gender and orientation have begun to emerge among revolutionary thinkers. The most radical theorists argued that such concepts were constructions of the old nobility to further their control, calling for forgetting such ideas in favor of new visions. Currently, the Tajara society still upholds gender roles similar to those before the contact, mainly based on one's heritage. The concept of a defined and clear sexual orientation is still fairly new. Only now free of the oppressive Njarir system, the Tajara are free to think about these matters as they develop further socially, even if frequently tainted by the lingering old prejudices. The other species' vision of these matters is seen as alien; even a traditional Tajara would not care to pass judgment on anything that does not involve their people.

Because of the Tajara's recent history as a repressive, conservative species, they still carry many prejudices from the period before the revolution. Overt displays of affection, xenophilia, and interracial relationships among Tajara are looked down on and treated as deviancy. The pre-contact nobility purposefully encouraged these sentiments to further preserve the caste system.

===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.

===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.

==Firearm Handling Tips==
Before you even look at a gun, there’s a few helpful tips that will go a long way in improving your time, and your crewmates’ time, when you’re using firearms.

Check the Safety!: Most guns will have a safety. This can be toggled by Ctrl+click’ing on the gun itself. Green ‘S’ is for Safe, Red ‘F’ is for Fire. If you don’t need the gun actively, having it on safe can prevent accidentally firing into a wall, or friend if you’re not being mindful of where you’re clicking. Additionally, if you’re on ‘Harm’ Intent, and you click with a gun on safe, you will immediately flip the safety to off and fire at your target in one go.

Mind Your Aim!: If you’re fighting mobs, aim for the chest on your targeting doll (NumPad 5 will do this immediately). Mobs are HP bags, they don’t have specific body parts, but your fellow crew does. If they’re wearing armor, the chest is almost always going to be the most heavily armored, or the only part of them armored at all. No need to get fancy when cleaning up Greimorians, center mass!

Make a Macro!: For ‘unique-action’. So many guns have a usage for a verb its practically impossible to git gud if you’re trying to fumble around and click the little button in the HUD. Notably, pump action shotguns, break action shotguns, bolt action rifles, and most revolvers make use of this to reload them in a timely manner.

==Firearms Overview==
Firearms is a broad term referring from things as simple as a crossbow to as complex as a X-Ray laser or a railgun.

This overview goes over every firearm you can find on the server.

===.45 Caliber and Its Weapons===
.45 is a staple of humanity, even after hundreds of years of pistol research and design, and countless very self-important voices on the extranet declaring the caliber having long since outlived any sort of usefulness with the introduction of 9mm, with an equal amount declaring ‘stopping power’ in an almost sort of ritualistic chant to resolve arguments.
They show no sign of ceasing any disagreements.

A compact submachine gun made specifically for the Konyang National Police. Takes .45 ammo. Produced by one of Einstein Engines' local subsidiaries on Konyang, the K45 "Pogpung" submachine gun is Taepung Arms' entry into the submachine gun market. The National Police purchased a large number of K45s for their patrol units due to reports that service revolvers were inadequate at stopping rampant IPCs. The K45-P variant specially designed for the police forces is chambered in the organization's preferred .45 caliber and is limited to 3-round bursts due to the relatively limited firearms training of National Police officers.

The Nam-Kawada model .45 caliber revolver, named after its two inventors, is an adaptation of an old Zavodskoi design designed to be easily made from colony ship autolathes. The original design was first introduced in 2307 due to a growing need to arm the nascent Konyang National Police (then known as the Suwon Colonial Constabulary) in the face of both wildlife and the occasional criminal activity. The lack of a need for an upgrade, as well as institutional attachment to the design, has led to its continued use for almost two centuries.

===9mm Caliber and Its Weapons===
9x19mm had its origins with humanity pre-World War 1 within Austria, and quickly exploded in global popularity as militaries and law enforcement agencies began the shift to submachine guns and self-loading pistols.
Now on the galactic scale of things, 9mm remains in many of the same applications, even as many decry the round as far too weak for modern military (and some even so far as *civilian* applications, usually followed by Unathi cross-chest density diagrams).
The round shows no sign of disappearing.

Standard Operating Procedure

2026-07-03T21:39:00Z

William Murdoch: /* Contraband */

{{Reference}}
{{IC_Laws}}

All Stellar Corporate Conglomerate vessels share a set of standard procedures that are to be followed. These guide the different departments on board the vessel, outline certain points and clear up some issues that may arise.

==General==
===Departmental Ranking===
<small>''See more: [[Chain of Command]]''</small>

Unless stated otherwise, all Departmental Staff are equal in rank, with differing responsibilities and assignments. The exceptions are departmental assistants/interns/apprentices, and standard assistants.

It is within the capacity of the Departmental Head of Staff to promote and designate senior leaders as they see fit, within their own department.

===Alert Levels===
The alert system is a standardized system of five colors which correspond to the status of the vessel. These levels may alter procedure and regulations to better assist departments in addressing non-standard situations.

Alert levels may be altered by Command and Command-support personnel as needed. A change in alert level must be made in tandem with an announcement appraising the crew of the reasoning for change in alert level, as well as any advisories necessary for safety.

====Green Alert====
Green alert indicates standard operations without any non-standard danger or elevated privileges. All regulations and procedures shall be enforced. Security personnel may not openly brandish weaponry, or wear armor plating on the arms, legs, or head except for in situations that may require temporary additional protections.

====Yellow Alert====
Yellow Alert indicates any non-standard operational state that presents a biological threat to the vessel. During Yellow alert status, all personnel shall assist in addressing the situation as necessary.

Command personnel may permit privileges to any department as necessary to address the situation. These privileges must be reasonable for the situation at hand, subject to review after the conclusion of a Yellow alert. All privileges permitted to a department during Yellow alert must be announced to the vessel.

====Blue Alert====
Blue alert indicates a high potential or unknown danger to the vessel. Elevation to Blue alert shall only be performed should the situation at hand not be sufficiently contained through standard procedures. All departments shall assist in the addressing of potential threats to the vessel to ensure a swift return to standard operations. Regulations and Standard Operation Procedures shall still apply as standard, however additional privileges are permitted to assist in non-standard operations.

Security personnel are permitted to wear arm and leg guards, as well as openly-carry weaponry. Random and locational searches are permitted with probable cause. Heads of Staff may refuse a locational search if it is within their department, a command-restricted location, or high-value storage.

The camera-network, vital sensors, and maintenance system access restrictions are lowered. However, abuse of these systems may result in punitive action where deemed necessary by on-duty Security personnel.

====Red Alert====
Red alert indicates a confirmed and immediate threat to the vessel, requiring all on-duty personnel to assist in the resolution of the situation. Elevation to Red alert requires a Captain-level decision, as well as the presence of two command personnel capable of swiping for alert level elevation at a keycard authentication terminal present within all Command offices. Elevation to Red alert necessitates a situation report to Central Command at the earliest reasonable time.

Standard Operating Procedures and Regulations may be disregarded as necessary by Command personnel to appropriately address any threats to the vessel, subject to review as necessary following the conclusion of a Red alert.

To assist in operations, all personnel are required to utilize Tau Ceti Basic on all radio channels, as well as the setting of suit sensors to maximum.

====Delta Alert====
<small>''See more: [[#Evacuation and Emergency Bluespace Jumps|Evacuation and Emergency Bluespace Jumps]]''</small>

Delta alert indicates a situation in which the vessel may not be recovered. Due to sensitive equipment and data on-board the vessel, in inability to contain a given situation, the vessel will undergo scuttling operations. At this time, all personnel must evacuate the vessel. Command and Security personnel are permitted any action necessary to ensure the swift evacuation of the vessel. All Standard Procedures and Regulations may be disregarded.

===External Partners===
Approved External Business Partners ("Merchants") with a SCC merchant pass possess docking authorization from Central Command and are permitted to dock and conduct business with the vessel. Merchants are expected to comply with all vessel regulations and rules set by Command Staff while aboard the ship. A merchant has direct authority over their own vessel and may choose to provide or deny their services as they see fit. Merchants are authorized to carry a concealed weapon for purposes of personal defense while aboard the vessel, unless explicitly prohibited by Command Staff. Employees who purchase items from a merchant take full responsibility for the possession and legality of these purchases. The Security Department is neither responsible for nor authorized to confiscate wares aboard a merchant's vessel and may not charge or detain a merchant for the possession of wares that remain aboard that vessel. The Security Department may not enforce regulations aboard a docked merchant vessel, except for issues that arise between Stellar Corporate Conglomerate employees, or to neutralize an immediate hostile and violent threat to the vessel.

===Off-Duty Crew===
Off-duty crewmembers and passengers on the working decks are not contracted to work or otherwise assume the role of any of the actively employed crew. Even if they work for the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate, promotion of off-duty crew or passengers to vessel ranks, except in the direst of circumstances, will be regarded as neglect of duty and/or exceeding official powers. During these circumstances, volunteers will not be compensated in any fashion by the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate and will not be insured against any injuries they sustain. Without exception, off-duty crewmembers and passengers are not permitted to be promoted to command ranks.

===Press===
Visiting and subcontracting ("freelance") journalists are not to be censored via a news channel D-Notice, unless a Captain-level decision determines that the content they publish directly endangers the safety of Stellar Corporate Conglomerate employees. Command Staff choosing to apply a D-Notice in this manner are expected to immediately contact Central Command to report that it has been applied. The creator of the channel is also to be made aware of both the notice and the reasoning for its implementation.

Journalists directly employed by the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate voluntarily waive these protections, as per the terms of their employment contract.

===Non-Structural Alterations===
Non-structural or cosmetic remodeling of a department may be performed by any staff with written and signed consent of the department in question. Cosmetic alteration to general areas, such as hallways, arrivals, and departures, require consent from the Chief Engineer, The Captain, or (in the absence of both) Command as a whole.

===Uniforms===
All on-duty personnel must wear appropriate attire such that the upper '''and''' lower body are adequately covered. Undergarments such as bras do not suffice, however clothing such as tank tops are sufficient. Failure to do so will result in i105 - Indecent Exposure.

Exceptions are granted to vaurcesian employees and '''non-shell''' IPCs not within the security, medical, or command departments, who may wear gear harnesses without further clothing.

Additionally, appropriate PPE must be utilized where necessary. Examples include the use of insulated gloves when modifying electrical equipment, or hard hats when modifying the ship hull.

===Shuttle Use===
<small>'See more: [[Guide to Piloting]]''</small>

The SCCV Horizon's shuttles may be used at any time by designated qualified personnel for the purpose of mining and exploration. Their flight activities may only be grounded by instating a flight ban, which may be established during Code Red security situations, orders from SCC Central Command, Operations Manager, or an Executive Officer.

The mining shuttle is allowed a degree of autonomy and does not require clearance to depart the SCCV Horizon for the purpose of mining operations unless a flight ban is in place. The shuttle is under the oversight of the Operations Manager, who retains the authority to ground or recall the shuttle at their discretion. The Canary is under the oversight of the Executive Officer but may be utilized by all of Command in necessary situations.

The SCCV Horizon bridge must accommodate prospecting and exploration missions before plotting course to a different location.

===Shuttle Pre-Flight Safety Checks===
During standard operation, it is necessary to ensure all airlocks are properly sealed prior to take-off in any shuttle. These checks should be performed by a [[Hangar Technician]] if present, otherwise the pilot of the shuttle craft may perform the check. Failure to do so will be considered i206 - Neglect of Duty or, should damages occur, i221 - Gross Negligence.

Proper pre-flight safety checks must include a visual sweep of the surrounding area to ensure it is free of hazards and personnel. Following this, a visual check of all airlocks must be performed. If an airlock is '''overridden''', force either set of doors closed, or if additional systems are available to seal the atmosphere of the shuttle, such as airtight shutters, they should be enabled and confirmed to be active. After the surrounding area, airlocks, and additional systems have been visually checked, the inspecting crew member must announce that the shuttle is cleared for flight if they are not the pilot of the shuttle.

===Horizon Weapons Systems===
The SCCV Horizon has been equipped with two main weapons systems in order to safeguard its assets, personnel, and mission. Its use and operation are an expectation during emergencies.

Bridge crew and Operations personnel are expected to follow command team orders on usage of the many systems aboard. In the absence of command, bridge crewmen are expected to operate the weaponry with discretion.

Weaponry should only be fired as a last resort, and all SCC personnel should consider the implications such actions may have on both the region and the greater Chainlink as a whole.

The Canary's weaponry may be used by the team lead on its away mission without command approval, but its use will be reviewed upon return to the Horizon. Misuse of any of the weapon systems are grounds for immediate termination.

===Salvage Operations===
During standard operation, the Horizon may come across abandoned or wrecked vessels. Due to various contracts secured between the SCC and governments of visited regions, these vessels may be salvaged by crew under the following conditions:

*The site is not inhabited or occupied.
*No local laws prohibit the salvage of that site.
*No other organization has previously claimed the site.
*No other department has claimed the site for other activities. Examples include:
**Archaeological exploration by the Science Department.
**Structural repair ordered by the Chief Engineer.
**Quarantine declared by the Chief Medical Officer.

Unless otherwise agreed upon with other organizations prior to a salvaging operation, such as Central Command or external partners, all equipment and materials salvaged from a site may be stored and used at the discretion of the Horizon.

==Command==
===Prohibited Imagery===
The following list contains all organizations containing prohibited imagery and symbology. Any items displaying the imagery or symbology of an organization contained on this list may not, under any circumstances, be displayed by Command or Bridge personnel.

*Emblems of [[Human Wildlands|"warlord states"]], including the '''Solarian Restoration Front''', '''the League of Independent Corporate-Free Systems''', '''the Free Solarian Fleets''', '''the Southern Solarian Military District''', and the '''Southern Fleet Administration'''; or
*Emblems of anti-corporate organizations such as the '''[[Himeo|United Syndicates of Himeo]]''', '''[[Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai|Adhomian Liberation Army]]''', the '''[[Mictlan|"Founding Movement", or the "Samaritans"]]'''; or
*Emblems of the group '''[[Unathi_Crime_And_Enforcement#The_Champions_of_Moghes|"Champion of Moghes"]]'''.

===Uniform Regulations===
All Command and Bridge personnel must wear appropriate business or business casual clothing. Personnel may not dress in a manner that may lead to the misidentification as a member of their originating corporation or nation-state. All prohibited imagery or symbology may not be worn under any circumstances.

===Acting Captain===
Should the Command staff be missing a captain, it is preferred that all members of the Command staff present act as a singular commanding entity, thus negating the need to promote a specific person to the position of Acting Captain. Under such operations, the Command Staff carries the authority of the captain and can conduct actions that would otherwise require the captain's approval. These actions require a Command vote to enact a captain-level decision. Command votes to enact a captain-level decision may '''not''' occur if a captain is present.

All Heads of Staff can initiate a Command vote. This vote is considered a captain-level decision and thus carries the authority of the captain. A Command vote begins with one or more Heads of Staff declaring what the vote intends to do over the command radio. All Heads of Staff are expected to participate and vote yes, no, or verbally abstain (abstaining through inaction is not permitted). All command votes are majority-rules unless stated otherwise. In the event the command vote ends in a tie, the vote automatically fails. Any votes taken against another Head of Staff will see the implicated party automatically abstained from voting. Additionally, Command staff who have been formally detained under orders of the Head of Security will be unable to vote until they have been released and allowed to reassume their previous position.

During non-standard operation, the Command staff may vote to appoint an Acting Captain among the Command staff. This is a standard Command-level vote only requiring a majority in favor. In the event a Head of Staff is elevated to Captainship, Central Command should be informed immediately as the situation allows. Once standard operation is resumed, and any non-standard situations have been resolved, the Acting Captain must resign captainship and reassume their previous position.

===Captain Authority===
The vessel's assigned Captain has full authority over the operation of the vessel and the attached shuttles. They are authorized to shut down departments at their discretion, reassign crew members, issue direct orders to all crew members of the ship, and take actions within reason that may violate regulations in non-standard situations.

The captain is trusted to act in the best interests of the company, crew, and vessel they are assigned to. Any complaints or concerns over the captain's decisions should be addressed after their orders have been carried out, and after the situation that prompted those orders has been resolved.

===Command Staff===
During standard operation, all Departmental Heads of Staff are equal under the command of the captain present onboard the vessel. Should a department find itself lacking a Head of Staff, the Captain is able to either assume direct supervision of the department or otherwise appoint a senior crew member to fill the missing role through the procedure for [[#Interim Command Staff|Interim Heads of Staff]].

During non-standard operation, a specific Departmental Head of Staff may be elevated above others, should the crisis situation fall under the responsibility of their department. At that point, other departments should act in a supporting role.

===Interim Command Staff===
<small>''See more: [[Chain_of_Command#Interim_Heads_of_Staff|Chain of Command]]''</small>

During standard operation, departments lacking a Head of Staff may have a senior crew member elevated into an Interim Head of Staff position by the Captain, Acting Captain, or Executive Officer. They inherit equal responsibility and power to a normal Head of Staff, with the exception of votes of no confidence to which an Interim Head of Staff may not start or participate in. During the selection of an Interim Head of Staff, considerations for SCC standards should be applied, regardless of whether it may exclude potential options for Interim. In the event of a crew member being elevated into an interim position, a promotion form should be completed.

During non-standard operation, restrictions and considerations on an Interim Head of Staff may be ignored, with exception of vaurcesian employees who may not be elevated under any circumstance. However, all Interim Heads of Staff that do not otherwise fit SCC standards must be demoted to their standard position immediately following the conclusion of non-standard operations.

===Command on Leaving the Vessel===
Should, during standard or non-standard operation, the need for one or more Command staff to leave the SCCV Horizon arise, it is possible for them to do so if and only if there is at least one other Command staff remaining on the ship after their departure. If any command vote is called while there are Command staff away from the ship, their vote is still required, and their return should be awaited. This section may be overridden by a captain if required.

===Corporate Liaisons and Consular Officers===
Command staff are expected to engage representatives (both corporate and diplomatic) through diplomacy and to consent to reasonable requests. The representative is not part of the vessel chain of command. The representative is granted special status in relation to corporate regulations:
*The representative does not serve brig time for low level infractions; the fine alternative can be used in those cases.
*The representative can serve brig time for medium and high-level infractions, with command staff being able to contact Central Command requesting the revocation of the representative's privileges.
*The representative's office offers immunity to the representative. Security may not enter to conduct arrests under normal circumstances. Entering or refusing to exit the office is considered trespassing.
*The office's immunity may be revoked by the captain or a captain level decision.
*Security is only able to conduct an arrest inside the representative's if the office's immunity was revoked or if there is clear evidence that a medium or high-level infraction is happening inside the office.

===Departmental Funds===
Through the combined budgets of the SCC Chainlink, departmental funds have been granted to the use of each department. Command members are encouraged to make use of this allotment as needed for day to day needs to ensure smooth operation. Heads of Staff are encouraged to utilize these funds to acquire materials, equipment, or other general supplies.

Additionally, Command Members may authorize small bonuses to crew members for exceptional situations up to 1000 credits or incentive bonuses up to 500 credits. Bonuses should be documented on general faxes and sent to Central explaining the situation, employee, and amount.

===Evacuation and Emergency Bluespace Jumps===
During extreme non-standard operation, evacuation or emergency bluespace jump orders may be used when the Horizon is placed in a situation that threatens the destruction of the vessel or her crew. Emergency bluespace jumps are the preferred order, with evacuations remaining a last resort that may coincide with [[#Delta Alert|Delta Alert]].

An evacuation or emergency bluespace jump order may only be enacted by a captain or '''unanimous''' Command-level vote. Central Command '''must''' be notified of the order along with a brief reasoning before the order has been completed. In the event of an evacuation, all sensitive information, materials, and equipment must either be destroyed or secured with the evacuating crew.

===Incident Management===
During non-standard operation, it is expected for departments to assist in the safe resolution of said incident and the recovery of standard operations. When it becomes clear that a significant incident is arising that could affect standard operations of the vessel or cause significant damage to crew or property, it is expected that (when possible) all on board personnel are provided with the following information:
*A brief description of the current incident.
*What steps have been taken so far to combat this incident.
*Suggested action for the crew to take.
*(If applicable) A brief description of the reasoning behind a change in alert level.

Exceptions to this include where the above information would compromise vessel security or safety. If this is the case it is expected that as much information as is safe to do so is dispensed for the crew.

===Faxes===
<small>''See more: [[Guide to Faxes]]''</small>

Command and Command-support personnel may be required, from time to time, to fax an external organization. These communications must follow given standards as necessary for the correct routing and swift processing of communications.

All Command personnel are permitted to seek guidance from Central Command as necessary during vessel operations. However, at no point may any personnel halt, delay, or otherwise disrupt operations pending return communication from Central Command.

====Internal Routed Faxes====
All communications routing within the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate network, including Central Command or affiliate-corporations, shall use internal SCC routing. These communications must utilize standardized forms appropriate for a given communication. All fields, with exception of index, must be filled. Tau Ceti Basic is to be utilized except for signatures. Stamps, where necessary, must be provided. Failure to abide by these guidelines may result in the misrouting or rejection of a sent communication. The following is a guideline for standard fax forms:

*General Fax: To be utilized for standard, non-urgent communications. This is the standard form for non-critical updates, personnel alterations such as suspensions, budget use for bonuses, and other miscellaneous communications.

*Situation Report: To be utilized for high-urgency, immediate-attention communication with Central Command. This is the standard form for all non-standard situation reports.

*Secondary Forms: Secondary forms (such as security reports, forensics reports, medical reports, or any other document) that are to be sent to Central Command should be attached to any of the above as required, and not sent on their own.

====External Routed Faxes====
All communications routed to non-SCC entities, such as a government or an independent organization. These communications have no standard guidelines, and as such may be performed as necessary.

==Science==
===Scientific Experimentation===
Approved science experiments being performed by or with oversight from qualified researchers must be performed in a way that does not unnecessarily risk crew or vessel unless otherwise authorized by the [[Research Director]] or [[Captain]]. All sentient test subjects involved in the experiment must sign a SCCF-0501 Personal Release prior to the experiment. All items classified as contraband may be utilized within an approved experiment, however may not leave the production or testing environment, and must be stored properly after the experiment concludes. Failure to adhere to this procedure may result in an i221 - Gross Negligence.

===Slimes Experiments & Non-sapient Xenological Lifeforms===
Slimes, non-sapient xenoforms, and the subjects of transformative xenobiological experiments are not classified as crew, members of humanity or affiliated alien races, but as test subjects and property of the SCC. Performing transformative xenobiological experiments on a co-worker is considered homicide and is punishable by corporate regulations and by law.

==Operations==
===Warehouse Contents===
The operations department is expected to store and distribute warehouse supplies to the vessel's departments as deemed appropriate. The stock of the vessels warehouse is not to be regarded as contraband if it remains in the warehouse or is being transported to an appropriate destination.

===Do not Borgify ===
Personnel with a Do Not Borgify order are NOT to be borgified. Failure to heed these orders is considered malpractice by law and will be treated as such.

==Engineering==
===Vessel Modifications===
All non-structural forms of modification, optimization, or upgrades to vessel equipment are permitted so long as the modifying engineer is qualified and has obtained written permission of all staff resident to the department in question. Large-scale structural modifications or additions require written and stamped consent from either the Chief Engineer, the Captain, or (in the absence of both) a delegated representative of Command staff.

==Security==
===Warden Authority===
The Warden's authority is limited to the brig and detainees and does not extend to the Security department or its personnel. Additionally, the Warden is not a de facto interim Head of Security in the absence of a Head of Security, unless promoted to that position by command staff.

With sufficient cause, the Warden is authorized to independently issue arrest and search warrants. This authority is subject to command staff review.

===Processing Time===
Personnel detained by Security are expected to be processed in a timely manner. Because a detainee's brig sentence begins after processing is completed, excessive processing times may result in the Warden or handling Security Officers being liable for illegal detention.

===Uniform Regulation===
On-duty security officers and wardens are required to wear the standard uniform provided by their employer or maintain business casual attire in the colours of their corporation. Casual wear, inappropriate footwear, shorts not issued with a uniform and skirts of any kind are not allowed. They must be immediately and easily identifiable as members of security.

On-duty investigative personnel are required to maintain business casual attire, regardless of colour. Casual wear is not permitted. If the personnel is not immediately identifiable as security, a badge must be worn at the hip or on the outer layer of clothing for ease of identification.

Footwear for on-duty security personnel must be business casual or boots and must be closed toe. Unathi and Tajara personnel may wear open toe boots, and Diona personnel are not required to wear footwear.

===Cadetship===
Investigative personnel are not required to complete a cadetship prior to beginning department duties. Any investigative personnel not having completed a cadetship may not perform the detainment of any crew. Those investigative personnel having completed a cadetship must display this within relevant records, and may perform the detainment of crew only where a Security Officer is not available to perform the same.

===Use of Force===
During standard operation, the application of force by Security personnel in response to a given situation should follow the ‘one step above’ concept, wherein the force applied is one level above that of the target. For example, unarmed individuals would call on the use of pepperspray or stun batons. Those equipped with a melee weapon would call on the use of a firearm.

It is expected for all Security personnel, notably the Head of Security, to participate in the determination of what forms of force are applicable in a given situation. However, the determination of adequate use of force shall not impede the security of the vessel and crew.

Failure to utilize adequate use of force will result in i117 - Excessive use of force in detainment.

===Contraband===
Items deemed illegal or unduly hazardous to the vessel and crew are considered contraband. Judgement must be performed by Security Personnel performing searches as to what may classify as contraband. Items may be held for a short period of time for the purpose of identification, after which they must be stored as evidence or released. Failure to identify a held item in a timely manner will result in an i102 - Petty Theft applied to the confiscating personnel.

Contraband must classify within these categories:
*A dangerous item that crew may not possess without appropriate qualifications. I.E. A Hangar Technician possessing a chainsaw.
**Certain emergency items, such as a fireaxe, may be considered contraband during standard procedure when possessed by unqualified personnel, however during emergency situations may not be considered contraband. Appropriate judgement is expected.
*Items that have been constructed for the explicit appearance or use as a weapon.
*Items restricted by Tau Ceti law.
**This includes military-grade equipment, federally controlled pharmaceuticals, so on.
**For all illegal or controlled substances, review Tau Ceti [[Drug Law]].

Items of contraband may be permitted by SCCF-0111 Command Order only if such form has a signature and stamp from appropriate heads of staff, or if the contraband item is intended for export to fulfill an Operations bounty. Contraband items may be stored within appropriate department spaces, such as contraband chemicals stored within the pharmacy, or within the warehouse for the purpose of safety.

===Responding===
Upon arriving at the scene, the security officer is expected to gauge the exact nature at the scene.

If the scene is clear:
*Radio in the situation at the scene.
*Ensure the safety of any crew in the immediate vicinity.
*Identify witnesses.
*Secure the scene in the event of occurrences (tape off area/disallow witness to leave).
*Proceed to 'Collecting Evidence'
If the scene is not clear:
*Identify nature of threat.
*If threat is able to be handled by officers on scene: Proceed with mediation/detainment.
*If threat is unable to be handled by officers on scene: Request immediate assistance. Upon requesting assistance, await said assistance before proceeding. Ensure your safety before ensuring the safety of others on scene.

===Collecting Evidence===
*Crime scenes must be sealed off for evidence to be valid. Ensure non-security personnel do not enter the scene. Avoid cordoning off high-traffic areas unless a serious crime (such as murder or mutiny) has been committed. Permission from the relevant head of staff, head of security, or captain should be gained to cordon off high-traffic areas of specific departments.
*If possible, cordoned-off areas should still allow access around it, via maintenance tunnels, less area taped off, or other methods. *Autopsies should be performed within the morgue.
*Disrupt standard vessel operation as little as possible around the crime scene.
*Investigative staff should be requested. Officers on scene are expected to ensure scene security until/during the arrival of/processing of the scene by investigative staff. If no investigative staff is available, officers are expected to secure evidence on scene.
*Witness statements should be taken (either via recorder or on paper) and physical evidence should be secured.

===Handling Evidence===
*Ensure gloves are worn to prevent contamination of evidence.
*Items that can be, must be held in evidence bags for transportation.
*Crime scene must be preserved until all evidence is collected.
*After evidence is collected, cadavers may be removed to the morgue and area may be cleaned up.

===Searches===
During standard operation, all individuals on the vessel are affording protections against unnecessary searches. These protections are waived in the following cases:
*The ship is on [[Guide to Alert Levels|Blue, Red, or Delta alert]].
*A search warrant has been authorized.
*The search is initiated within the two pre-designated checkpoint areas.
*The search is initiated at an improvised checkpoint area with Head of Security or Captain-level approval.

The procedure for initiating a search is as follows:
*The intent to search an individual is announced by an authorized Security Officer, Warden, or Head of Security.
*The authorized search warrant is presented if applicable.
*Select storage spaces on the individual are searched according to type of search:
**Checkpoint searches are limited to jackets, bags, and any containers within those articles.
**All other searches are permitted to search all storage spaces on an individual.
*Outstanding items identified as [[Guide to Contraband|contraband]] must be removed and bagged as evidence.
*All other items are returned to the individual.
*Should detainment be required, follow the procedure on [[#Arrest|arrests]].

===Arrest===
During standard operation, an authorized warrant is required to carry out an arrest. Authorization can be provided from a Captain-level decision, Head of Security, or Warden. The requirement for a warrant prior to arrest is waived in the following cases:
*The ship is on [[Guide to Alert Levels|Blue, Red, or Delta alert]].
*The member of Security directly witnesses the crime.
*It can be reasonably concluded that failure to act will pose an immediate danger to the crew and/or vessel.
Proceed as follows during the event of detainment:
*Announce intention to arrest and charges vocally. Present authorized warrant if applicable.
*Request the suspect surrender peaceably
*If suspect resists, attempt to handcuff. Verbal disagreement or swearing is '''not''' resisting. Verbal threats of violence, damage, or death '''are''' considered resisting arrest.
*If suspects fight back or run, apply needed force to cease flight and detain suspect. A charge of resisting arrest should be applied in this case.
*Remove suspect to brig for processing.
For witnessed major/violent crime:
*Immediately attempt detainment of suspect, with charges read out when suspect is secured.
*Remove suspect to brig for processing.

===Processing===
*Ensure Warden is aware of incoming prisoner.
*Bring prisoner to processing/booking room. Leave secured if violent/repeat offender.
*Check prisoner’s pockets (coat/jumpsuit), pack, and any containers within pack.
*Confiscate any contraband/evidence found. Note: Evidence must have pertinence to the case. If there is no direct correlation, evidence should be returned to person or respective department.
*Inform the prisoners superior of the arrest.
*Proceed to ‘Jailing’.

===Questioning===
*Questioning should be done in the brig. Booking/Processing is to be used for ‘informal’ interviews. Interrogation should be used in the case of more in-depth investigations.
*The Investigative team should get preference in questioning a suspect unless there's a good reason. A standard processing interview for an open and shut case is probably not worth their time, but it's always good to ask.
*If the person is not a suspect, do not handle them as an offender (handcuffing, stunning, or flashing them is not okay).
*Ensure usage of recorder during interrogations; ensure the suspect/prisoner/witness is aware they are being recorded. Ensure the suspect/prisoner/witness states their or has their name/occupation stated at the beginning of an interrogation.
*If person remains uncooperative, make note of this. Seek advice from your Head of Security.

===Jailing===
*Move prisoner to appropriate cell.
*Place personal items the prisoner was deemed able to keep upon release in cell locker.
*Set cell timer to appropriate time and secure cell.
*Remove handcuffs from prisoner’s person within secure cell if able to do so without severe risk to own wellbeing.
*Ensure records are properly updated to reflect prisoner’s crimes/status.

===Autopsies===
*All autopsies should be conducted by investigations within the autopsy room. If no investigators are present, the cadaver should be stored until one arrives.
*More steps outlining autopsies can be found [[Guide to Cadavers | here.]]
*Once the autopsy is completed, if the deceased was an employee aboard the SCCV Horizon, the cadaver should be remanded to medical so that they may carry out any potential [[#Post Mortem Wishes | post-mortem wishes.]]

==Medical==
===Restricted Pharmaceuticals===
The Pharmacy may, at times, require the production or possession of otherwise [[Drug Law|banned chemicals]] within the Republic of Biesel. These chemicals are exempt from contraband regulation if such chemicals are produced for the explicit use in production of medicines, and stored securely within the Pharmacy. These chemicals may be confiscated as contraband should they leave the Pharmacy.

At no time may any banned chemical be produced for purposes other than medicine production. Banned chemicals may not be administered to crew of the vessel. Banned chemicals without use for medicine production may be securely stored within the Pharmacy for safety, such as illegal chemicals distributed from the warehouse.

===Paramedic Helmet===
Paramedics are to use their helmet on the same basis as security: on code blue and above, and in dangerous situations.

===Postmortem Wishes===
It is medical's responsibility to ensure that post-mortem wishes are carried out for any crew who lose their lives aboard the SCCV Horizon. Bodies autopsied by investigations should be remanded to medical for this purpose once the autopsy is completed. Postmortem wishes are expected to be followed to the letter, if at all possible, by the Horizon.

===Medical Treatment Waiver===
Employees that do not wish to be treated, should be provided with the Medical Treatment Waiver form from the request consoles to sign.

===Medical Uniform Regulations===
On-duty medical personnel whose duties include '''direct patient care''' are required to wear the standard uniform provided by their employer or maintain a business attire preferably (but not required) in the colours of their corporation. Footwear must be professional and closed toe, with exception to Unathi medical personnel who may wear open toe shoes and Dionae medical personnel who may wear no footwear.

Casual wear, inappropriate footwear, shorts not issued with a uniform, and skirts of any kind are not allowed. Paramedics are required to be immediately and easily identifiable as Medical personnel.

====Operating Rooms====
For patient safety and infection control, OR's are held to a higher standard. Scrubs or a protective sterile surgical apron completely covering clothing underneath. Full PPE, including masks for employees who breathe and sterile gloves. Remember to wash your hands!

Employees entering for brief periods are only required the use of sterile gloves and masks. These employees may not come into contact with a patient undergoing an operation.

Tajara surgical personnel should be garbed in full body sterile drapes for infection prevention.

Shorts provided by PMCG-issued uniforms may '''NOT''' be used within the Operating Rooms.

Personnel failing to meet these requirements for the medical department are in violation of failing to execute an order.

==AI==
===AI Monitoring===
The AI only has to monitor the following secure areas:
*Armory
*SAT (The big nuke room)
*Telecommunications
*The Vault
*Command areas (Bridge, head of staff offices, etc.)
*Secure Storage
*Research Storage
*Research Server Room
*Engine Room (Supermatter specifically, INDRA if it is running)
*AI Core and AI Upload

===Access to the AI===
In order to access the AI upload or the AI core a Captain-level decision is required. All command staff must be informed of the decision.

The AI may have its laws altered or reset via a Captain-level decision. This action may be performed by an Operations Manager, qualified Head of Staff, or a Machinist under Command supervision.

Standard Operating Procedure

2026-07-03T21:30:39Z

William Murdoch: /* Scientific Experimentation */

{{Reference}}
{{IC_Laws}}

All Stellar Corporate Conglomerate vessels share a set of standard procedures that are to be followed. These guide the different departments on board the vessel, outline certain points and clear up some issues that may arise.

==General==
===Departmental Ranking===
<small>''See more: [[Chain of Command]]''</small>

Unless stated otherwise, all Departmental Staff are equal in rank, with differing responsibilities and assignments. The exceptions are departmental assistants/interns/apprentices, and standard assistants.

It is within the capacity of the Departmental Head of Staff to promote and designate senior leaders as they see fit, within their own department.

===Alert Levels===
The alert system is a standardized system of five colors which correspond to the status of the vessel. These levels may alter procedure and regulations to better assist departments in addressing non-standard situations.

Alert levels may be altered by Command and Command-support personnel as needed. A change in alert level must be made in tandem with an announcement appraising the crew of the reasoning for change in alert level, as well as any advisories necessary for safety.

====Green Alert====
Green alert indicates standard operations without any non-standard danger or elevated privileges. All regulations and procedures shall be enforced. Security personnel may not openly brandish weaponry, or wear armor plating on the arms, legs, or head except for in situations that may require temporary additional protections.

====Yellow Alert====
Yellow Alert indicates any non-standard operational state that presents a biological threat to the vessel. During Yellow alert status, all personnel shall assist in addressing the situation as necessary.

Command personnel may permit privileges to any department as necessary to address the situation. These privileges must be reasonable for the situation at hand, subject to review after the conclusion of a Yellow alert. All privileges permitted to a department during Yellow alert must be announced to the vessel.

====Blue Alert====
Blue alert indicates a high potential or unknown danger to the vessel. Elevation to Blue alert shall only be performed should the situation at hand not be sufficiently contained through standard procedures. All departments shall assist in the addressing of potential threats to the vessel to ensure a swift return to standard operations. Regulations and Standard Operation Procedures shall still apply as standard, however additional privileges are permitted to assist in non-standard operations.

Security personnel are permitted to wear arm and leg guards, as well as openly-carry weaponry. Random and locational searches are permitted with probable cause. Heads of Staff may refuse a locational search if it is within their department, a command-restricted location, or high-value storage.

The camera-network, vital sensors, and maintenance system access restrictions are lowered. However, abuse of these systems may result in punitive action where deemed necessary by on-duty Security personnel.

====Red Alert====
Red alert indicates a confirmed and immediate threat to the vessel, requiring all on-duty personnel to assist in the resolution of the situation. Elevation to Red alert requires a Captain-level decision, as well as the presence of two command personnel capable of swiping for alert level elevation at a keycard authentication terminal present within all Command offices. Elevation to Red alert necessitates a situation report to Central Command at the earliest reasonable time.

Standard Operating Procedures and Regulations may be disregarded as necessary by Command personnel to appropriately address any threats to the vessel, subject to review as necessary following the conclusion of a Red alert.

To assist in operations, all personnel are required to utilize Tau Ceti Basic on all radio channels, as well as the setting of suit sensors to maximum.

====Delta Alert====
<small>''See more: [[#Evacuation and Emergency Bluespace Jumps|Evacuation and Emergency Bluespace Jumps]]''</small>

Delta alert indicates a situation in which the vessel may not be recovered. Due to sensitive equipment and data on-board the vessel, in inability to contain a given situation, the vessel will undergo scuttling operations. At this time, all personnel must evacuate the vessel. Command and Security personnel are permitted any action necessary to ensure the swift evacuation of the vessel. All Standard Procedures and Regulations may be disregarded.

===External Partners===
Approved External Business Partners ("Merchants") with a SCC merchant pass possess docking authorization from Central Command and are permitted to dock and conduct business with the vessel. Merchants are expected to comply with all vessel regulations and rules set by Command Staff while aboard the ship. A merchant has direct authority over their own vessel and may choose to provide or deny their services as they see fit. Merchants are authorized to carry a concealed weapon for purposes of personal defense while aboard the vessel, unless explicitly prohibited by Command Staff. Employees who purchase items from a merchant take full responsibility for the possession and legality of these purchases. The Security Department is neither responsible for nor authorized to confiscate wares aboard a merchant's vessel and may not charge or detain a merchant for the possession of wares that remain aboard that vessel. The Security Department may not enforce regulations aboard a docked merchant vessel, except for issues that arise between Stellar Corporate Conglomerate employees, or to neutralize an immediate hostile and violent threat to the vessel.

===Off-Duty Crew===
Off-duty crewmembers and passengers on the working decks are not contracted to work or otherwise assume the role of any of the actively employed crew. Even if they work for the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate, promotion of off-duty crew or passengers to vessel ranks, except in the direst of circumstances, will be regarded as neglect of duty and/or exceeding official powers. During these circumstances, volunteers will not be compensated in any fashion by the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate and will not be insured against any injuries they sustain. Without exception, off-duty crewmembers and passengers are not permitted to be promoted to command ranks.

===Press===
Visiting and subcontracting ("freelance") journalists are not to be censored via a news channel D-Notice, unless a Captain-level decision determines that the content they publish directly endangers the safety of Stellar Corporate Conglomerate employees. Command Staff choosing to apply a D-Notice in this manner are expected to immediately contact Central Command to report that it has been applied. The creator of the channel is also to be made aware of both the notice and the reasoning for its implementation.

Journalists directly employed by the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate voluntarily waive these protections, as per the terms of their employment contract.

===Non-Structural Alterations===
Non-structural or cosmetic remodeling of a department may be performed by any staff with written and signed consent of the department in question. Cosmetic alteration to general areas, such as hallways, arrivals, and departures, require consent from the Chief Engineer, The Captain, or (in the absence of both) Command as a whole.

===Uniforms===
All on-duty personnel must wear appropriate attire such that the upper '''and''' lower body are adequately covered. Undergarments such as bras do not suffice, however clothing such as tank tops are sufficient. Failure to do so will result in i105 - Indecent Exposure.

Exceptions are granted to vaurcesian employees and '''non-shell''' IPCs not within the security, medical, or command departments, who may wear gear harnesses without further clothing.

Additionally, appropriate PPE must be utilized where necessary. Examples include the use of insulated gloves when modifying electrical equipment, or hard hats when modifying the ship hull.

===Shuttle Use===
<small>'See more: [[Guide to Piloting]]''</small>

The SCCV Horizon's shuttles may be used at any time by designated qualified personnel for the purpose of mining and exploration. Their flight activities may only be grounded by instating a flight ban, which may be established during Code Red security situations, orders from SCC Central Command, Operations Manager, or an Executive Officer.

The mining shuttle is allowed a degree of autonomy and does not require clearance to depart the SCCV Horizon for the purpose of mining operations unless a flight ban is in place. The shuttle is under the oversight of the Operations Manager, who retains the authority to ground or recall the shuttle at their discretion. The Canary is under the oversight of the Executive Officer but may be utilized by all of Command in necessary situations.

The SCCV Horizon bridge must accommodate prospecting and exploration missions before plotting course to a different location.

===Shuttle Pre-Flight Safety Checks===
During standard operation, it is necessary to ensure all airlocks are properly sealed prior to take-off in any shuttle. These checks should be performed by a [[Hangar Technician]] if present, otherwise the pilot of the shuttle craft may perform the check. Failure to do so will be considered i206 - Neglect of Duty or, should damages occur, i221 - Gross Negligence.

Proper pre-flight safety checks must include a visual sweep of the surrounding area to ensure it is free of hazards and personnel. Following this, a visual check of all airlocks must be performed. If an airlock is '''overridden''', force either set of doors closed, or if additional systems are available to seal the atmosphere of the shuttle, such as airtight shutters, they should be enabled and confirmed to be active. After the surrounding area, airlocks, and additional systems have been visually checked, the inspecting crew member must announce that the shuttle is cleared for flight if they are not the pilot of the shuttle.

===Horizon Weapons Systems===
The SCCV Horizon has been equipped with two main weapons systems in order to safeguard its assets, personnel, and mission. Its use and operation are an expectation during emergencies.

Bridge crew and Operations personnel are expected to follow command team orders on usage of the many systems aboard. In the absence of command, bridge crewmen are expected to operate the weaponry with discretion.

Weaponry should only be fired as a last resort, and all SCC personnel should consider the implications such actions may have on both the region and the greater Chainlink as a whole.

The Canary's weaponry may be used by the team lead on its away mission without command approval, but its use will be reviewed upon return to the Horizon. Misuse of any of the weapon systems are grounds for immediate termination.

===Salvage Operations===
During standard operation, the Horizon may come across abandoned or wrecked vessels. Due to various contracts secured between the SCC and governments of visited regions, these vessels may be salvaged by crew under the following conditions:

*The site is not inhabited or occupied.
*No local laws prohibit the salvage of that site.
*No other organization has previously claimed the site.
*No other department has claimed the site for other activities. Examples include:
**Archaeological exploration by the Science Department.
**Structural repair ordered by the Chief Engineer.
**Quarantine declared by the Chief Medical Officer.

Unless otherwise agreed upon with other organizations prior to a salvaging operation, such as Central Command or external partners, all equipment and materials salvaged from a site may be stored and used at the discretion of the Horizon.

==Command==
===Prohibited Imagery===
The following list contains all organizations containing prohibited imagery and symbology. Any items displaying the imagery or symbology of an organization contained on this list may not, under any circumstances, be displayed by Command or Bridge personnel.

*Emblems of [[Human Wildlands|"warlord states"]], including the '''Solarian Restoration Front''', '''the League of Independent Corporate-Free Systems''', '''the Free Solarian Fleets''', '''the Southern Solarian Military District''', and the '''Southern Fleet Administration'''; or
*Emblems of anti-corporate organizations such as the '''[[Himeo|United Syndicates of Himeo]]''', '''[[Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai|Adhomian Liberation Army]]''', the '''[[Mictlan|"Founding Movement", or the "Samaritans"]]'''; or
*Emblems of the group '''[[Unathi_Crime_And_Enforcement#The_Champions_of_Moghes|"Champion of Moghes"]]'''.

===Uniform Regulations===
All Command and Bridge personnel must wear appropriate business or business casual clothing. Personnel may not dress in a manner that may lead to the misidentification as a member of their originating corporation or nation-state. All prohibited imagery or symbology may not be worn under any circumstances.

===Acting Captain===
Should the Command staff be missing a captain, it is preferred that all members of the Command staff present act as a singular commanding entity, thus negating the need to promote a specific person to the position of Acting Captain. Under such operations, the Command Staff carries the authority of the captain and can conduct actions that would otherwise require the captain's approval. These actions require a Command vote to enact a captain-level decision. Command votes to enact a captain-level decision may '''not''' occur if a captain is present.

All Heads of Staff can initiate a Command vote. This vote is considered a captain-level decision and thus carries the authority of the captain. A Command vote begins with one or more Heads of Staff declaring what the vote intends to do over the command radio. All Heads of Staff are expected to participate and vote yes, no, or verbally abstain (abstaining through inaction is not permitted). All command votes are majority-rules unless stated otherwise. In the event the command vote ends in a tie, the vote automatically fails. Any votes taken against another Head of Staff will see the implicated party automatically abstained from voting. Additionally, Command staff who have been formally detained under orders of the Head of Security will be unable to vote until they have been released and allowed to reassume their previous position.

During non-standard operation, the Command staff may vote to appoint an Acting Captain among the Command staff. This is a standard Command-level vote only requiring a majority in favor. In the event a Head of Staff is elevated to Captainship, Central Command should be informed immediately as the situation allows. Once standard operation is resumed, and any non-standard situations have been resolved, the Acting Captain must resign captainship and reassume their previous position.

===Captain Authority===
The vessel's assigned Captain has full authority over the operation of the vessel and the attached shuttles. They are authorized to shut down departments at their discretion, reassign crew members, issue direct orders to all crew members of the ship, and take actions within reason that may violate regulations in non-standard situations.

The captain is trusted to act in the best interests of the company, crew, and vessel they are assigned to. Any complaints or concerns over the captain's decisions should be addressed after their orders have been carried out, and after the situation that prompted those orders has been resolved.

===Command Staff===
During standard operation, all Departmental Heads of Staff are equal under the command of the captain present onboard the vessel. Should a department find itself lacking a Head of Staff, the Captain is able to either assume direct supervision of the department or otherwise appoint a senior crew member to fill the missing role through the procedure for [[#Interim Command Staff|Interim Heads of Staff]].

During non-standard operation, a specific Departmental Head of Staff may be elevated above others, should the crisis situation fall under the responsibility of their department. At that point, other departments should act in a supporting role.

===Interim Command Staff===
<small>''See more: [[Chain_of_Command#Interim_Heads_of_Staff|Chain of Command]]''</small>

During standard operation, departments lacking a Head of Staff may have a senior crew member elevated into an Interim Head of Staff position by the Captain, Acting Captain, or Executive Officer. They inherit equal responsibility and power to a normal Head of Staff, with the exception of votes of no confidence to which an Interim Head of Staff may not start or participate in. During the selection of an Interim Head of Staff, considerations for SCC standards should be applied, regardless of whether it may exclude potential options for Interim. In the event of a crew member being elevated into an interim position, a promotion form should be completed.

During non-standard operation, restrictions and considerations on an Interim Head of Staff may be ignored, with exception of vaurcesian employees who may not be elevated under any circumstance. However, all Interim Heads of Staff that do not otherwise fit SCC standards must be demoted to their standard position immediately following the conclusion of non-standard operations.

===Command on Leaving the Vessel===
Should, during standard or non-standard operation, the need for one or more Command staff to leave the SCCV Horizon arise, it is possible for them to do so if and only if there is at least one other Command staff remaining on the ship after their departure. If any command vote is called while there are Command staff away from the ship, their vote is still required, and their return should be awaited. This section may be overridden by a captain if required.

===Corporate Liaisons and Consular Officers===
Command staff are expected to engage representatives (both corporate and diplomatic) through diplomacy and to consent to reasonable requests. The representative is not part of the vessel chain of command. The representative is granted special status in relation to corporate regulations:
*The representative does not serve brig time for low level infractions; the fine alternative can be used in those cases.
*The representative can serve brig time for medium and high-level infractions, with command staff being able to contact Central Command requesting the revocation of the representative's privileges.
*The representative's office offers immunity to the representative. Security may not enter to conduct arrests under normal circumstances. Entering or refusing to exit the office is considered trespassing.
*The office's immunity may be revoked by the captain or a captain level decision.
*Security is only able to conduct an arrest inside the representative's if the office's immunity was revoked or if there is clear evidence that a medium or high-level infraction is happening inside the office.

===Departmental Funds===
Through the combined budgets of the SCC Chainlink, departmental funds have been granted to the use of each department. Command members are encouraged to make use of this allotment as needed for day to day needs to ensure smooth operation. Heads of Staff are encouraged to utilize these funds to acquire materials, equipment, or other general supplies.

Additionally, Command Members may authorize small bonuses to crew members for exceptional situations up to 1000 credits or incentive bonuses up to 500 credits. Bonuses should be documented on general faxes and sent to Central explaining the situation, employee, and amount.

===Evacuation and Emergency Bluespace Jumps===
During extreme non-standard operation, evacuation or emergency bluespace jump orders may be used when the Horizon is placed in a situation that threatens the destruction of the vessel or her crew. Emergency bluespace jumps are the preferred order, with evacuations remaining a last resort that may coincide with [[#Delta Alert|Delta Alert]].

An evacuation or emergency bluespace jump order may only be enacted by a captain or '''unanimous''' Command-level vote. Central Command '''must''' be notified of the order along with a brief reasoning before the order has been completed. In the event of an evacuation, all sensitive information, materials, and equipment must either be destroyed or secured with the evacuating crew.

===Incident Management===
During non-standard operation, it is expected for departments to assist in the safe resolution of said incident and the recovery of standard operations. When it becomes clear that a significant incident is arising that could affect standard operations of the vessel or cause significant damage to crew or property, it is expected that (when possible) all on board personnel are provided with the following information:
*A brief description of the current incident.
*What steps have been taken so far to combat this incident.
*Suggested action for the crew to take.
*(If applicable) A brief description of the reasoning behind a change in alert level.

Exceptions to this include where the above information would compromise vessel security or safety. If this is the case it is expected that as much information as is safe to do so is dispensed for the crew.

===Faxes===
<small>''See more: [[Guide to Faxes]]''</small>

Command and Command-support personnel may be required, from time to time, to fax an external organization. These communications must follow given standards as necessary for the correct routing and swift processing of communications.

All Command personnel are permitted to seek guidance from Central Command as necessary during vessel operations. However, at no point may any personnel halt, delay, or otherwise disrupt operations pending return communication from Central Command.

====Internal Routed Faxes====
All communications routing within the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate network, including Central Command or affiliate-corporations, shall use internal SCC routing. These communications must utilize standardized forms appropriate for a given communication. All fields, with exception of index, must be filled. Tau Ceti Basic is to be utilized except for signatures. Stamps, where necessary, must be provided. Failure to abide by these guidelines may result in the misrouting or rejection of a sent communication. The following is a guideline for standard fax forms:

*General Fax: To be utilized for standard, non-urgent communications. This is the standard form for non-critical updates, personnel alterations such as suspensions, budget use for bonuses, and other miscellaneous communications.

*Situation Report: To be utilized for high-urgency, immediate-attention communication with Central Command. This is the standard form for all non-standard situation reports.

*Secondary Forms: Secondary forms (such as security reports, forensics reports, medical reports, or any other document) that are to be sent to Central Command should be attached to any of the above as required, and not sent on their own.

====External Routed Faxes====
All communications routed to non-SCC entities, such as a government or an independent organization. These communications have no standard guidelines, and as such may be performed as necessary.

==Science==
===Scientific Experimentation===
Approved science experiments being performed by or with oversight from qualified researchers must be performed in a way that does not unnecessarily risk crew or vessel unless otherwise authorized by the [[Research Director]] or [[Captain]]. All sentient test subjects involved in the experiment must sign a SCCF-0501 Personal Release prior to the experiment. All items classified as contraband may be utilized within an approved experiment, however may not leave the production or testing environment, and must be stored properly after the experiment concludes. Failure to adhere to this procedure may result in an i221 - Gross Negligence.

===Slimes Experiments & Non-sapient Xenological Lifeforms===
Slimes, non-sapient xenoforms, and the subjects of transformative xenobiological experiments are not classified as crew, members of humanity or affiliated alien races, but as test subjects and property of the SCC. Performing transformative xenobiological experiments on a co-worker is considered homicide and is punishable by corporate regulations and by law.

==Operations==
===Warehouse Contents===
The operations department is expected to store and distribute warehouse supplies to the vessel's departments as deemed appropriate. The stock of the vessels warehouse is not to be regarded as contraband if it remains in the warehouse or is being transported to an appropriate destination.

===Do not Borgify ===
Personnel with a Do Not Borgify order are NOT to be borgified. Failure to heed these orders is considered malpractice by law and will be treated as such.

==Engineering==
===Vessel Modifications===
All non-structural forms of modification, optimization, or upgrades to vessel equipment are permitted so long as the modifying engineer is qualified and has obtained written permission of all staff resident to the department in question. Large-scale structural modifications or additions require written and stamped consent from either the Chief Engineer, the Captain, or (in the absence of both) a delegated representative of Command staff.

==Security==
===Warden Authority===
The Warden's authority is limited to the brig and detainees and does not extend to the Security department or its personnel. Additionally, the Warden is not a de facto interim Head of Security in the absence of a Head of Security, unless promoted to that position by command staff.

With sufficient cause, the Warden is authorized to independently issue arrest and search warrants. This authority is subject to command staff review.

===Processing Time===
Personnel detained by Security are expected to be processed in a timely manner. Because a detainee's brig sentence begins after processing is completed, excessive processing times may result in the Warden or handling Security Officers being liable for illegal detention.

===Uniform Regulation===
On-duty security officers and wardens are required to wear the standard uniform provided by their employer or maintain business casual attire in the colours of their corporation. Casual wear, inappropriate footwear, shorts not issued with a uniform and skirts of any kind are not allowed. They must be immediately and easily identifiable as members of security.

On-duty investigative personnel are required to maintain business casual attire, regardless of colour. Casual wear is not permitted. If the personnel is not immediately identifiable as security, a badge must be worn at the hip or on the outer layer of clothing for ease of identification.

Footwear for on-duty security personnel must be business casual or boots and must be closed toe. Unathi and Tajara personnel may wear open toe boots, and Diona personnel are not required to wear footwear.

===Cadetship===
Investigative personnel are not required to complete a cadetship prior to beginning department duties. Any investigative personnel not having completed a cadetship may not perform the detainment of any crew. Those investigative personnel having completed a cadetship must display this within relevant records, and may perform the detainment of crew only where a Security Officer is not available to perform the same.

===Use of Force===
During standard operation, the application of force by Security personnel in response to a given situation should follow the ‘one step above’ concept, wherein the force applied is one level above that of the target. For example, unarmed individuals would call on the use of pepperspray or stun batons. Those equipped with a melee weapon would call on the use of a firearm.

It is expected for all Security personnel, notably the Head of Security, to participate in the determination of what forms of force are applicable in a given situation. However, the determination of adequate use of force shall not impede the security of the vessel and crew.

Failure to utilize adequate use of force will result in i117 - Excessive use of force in detainment.

===Contraband===
Items deemed illegal or unduly hazardous to the vessel and crew are considered contraband. Judgement must be performed by Security Personnel performing searches as to what may classify as contraband. Items may be held for a short period of time for the purpose of identification, after which they must be stored as evidence or released. Failure to identify a held item in a timely manner will result in an i102 - Petty Theft applied to the confiscating personnel.

Contraband must classify within these categories:
*A dangerous item that crew may not possess without appropriate qualifications. I.E. A Hangar Technician possessing a chainsaw.
**Certain emergency items, such as a fireaxe, may be considered contraband during standard procedure when possessed by unqualified personnel, however during emergency situations may not be considered contraband. Appropriate judgement is expected.
*Items that have been constructed for the explicit appearance or use as a weapon.
*Items restricted by Tau Ceti law.
**This includes military-grade equipment, federally controlled pharmaceuticals, so on.
**For all illegal or controlled substances, review Tau Ceti [[Drug Law]].

Items of contraband may be permitted by SCCF-0111 Command Order only if such form has a signature and stamp from appropriate heads of staff. Contraband items may be stored within appropriate department spaces, such as contraband chemicals stored within the pharmacy, or within the warehouse for the purpose of safety.

===Responding===
Upon arriving at the scene, the security officer is expected to gauge the exact nature at the scene.

If the scene is clear:
*Radio in the situation at the scene.
*Ensure the safety of any crew in the immediate vicinity.
*Identify witnesses.
*Secure the scene in the event of occurrences (tape off area/disallow witness to leave).
*Proceed to 'Collecting Evidence'
If the scene is not clear:
*Identify nature of threat.
*If threat is able to be handled by officers on scene: Proceed with mediation/detainment.
*If threat is unable to be handled by officers on scene: Request immediate assistance. Upon requesting assistance, await said assistance before proceeding. Ensure your safety before ensuring the safety of others on scene.

===Collecting Evidence===
*Crime scenes must be sealed off for evidence to be valid. Ensure non-security personnel do not enter the scene. Avoid cordoning off high-traffic areas unless a serious crime (such as murder or mutiny) has been committed. Permission from the relevant head of staff, head of security, or captain should be gained to cordon off high-traffic areas of specific departments.
*If possible, cordoned-off areas should still allow access around it, via maintenance tunnels, less area taped off, or other methods. *Autopsies should be performed within the morgue.
*Disrupt standard vessel operation as little as possible around the crime scene.
*Investigative staff should be requested. Officers on scene are expected to ensure scene security until/during the arrival of/processing of the scene by investigative staff. If no investigative staff is available, officers are expected to secure evidence on scene.
*Witness statements should be taken (either via recorder or on paper) and physical evidence should be secured.

===Handling Evidence===
*Ensure gloves are worn to prevent contamination of evidence.
*Items that can be, must be held in evidence bags for transportation.
*Crime scene must be preserved until all evidence is collected.
*After evidence is collected, cadavers may be removed to the morgue and area may be cleaned up.

===Searches===
During standard operation, all individuals on the vessel are affording protections against unnecessary searches. These protections are waived in the following cases:
*The ship is on [[Guide to Alert Levels|Blue, Red, or Delta alert]].
*A search warrant has been authorized.
*The search is initiated within the two pre-designated checkpoint areas.
*The search is initiated at an improvised checkpoint area with Head of Security or Captain-level approval.

The procedure for initiating a search is as follows:
*The intent to search an individual is announced by an authorized Security Officer, Warden, or Head of Security.
*The authorized search warrant is presented if applicable.
*Select storage spaces on the individual are searched according to type of search:
**Checkpoint searches are limited to jackets, bags, and any containers within those articles.
**All other searches are permitted to search all storage spaces on an individual.
*Outstanding items identified as [[Guide to Contraband|contraband]] must be removed and bagged as evidence.
*All other items are returned to the individual.
*Should detainment be required, follow the procedure on [[#Arrest|arrests]].

===Arrest===
During standard operation, an authorized warrant is required to carry out an arrest. Authorization can be provided from a Captain-level decision, Head of Security, or Warden. The requirement for a warrant prior to arrest is waived in the following cases:
*The ship is on [[Guide to Alert Levels|Blue, Red, or Delta alert]].
*The member of Security directly witnesses the crime.
*It can be reasonably concluded that failure to act will pose an immediate danger to the crew and/or vessel.
Proceed as follows during the event of detainment:
*Announce intention to arrest and charges vocally. Present authorized warrant if applicable.
*Request the suspect surrender peaceably
*If suspect resists, attempt to handcuff. Verbal disagreement or swearing is '''not''' resisting. Verbal threats of violence, damage, or death '''are''' considered resisting arrest.
*If suspects fight back or run, apply needed force to cease flight and detain suspect. A charge of resisting arrest should be applied in this case.
*Remove suspect to brig for processing.
For witnessed major/violent crime:
*Immediately attempt detainment of suspect, with charges read out when suspect is secured.
*Remove suspect to brig for processing.

===Processing===
*Ensure Warden is aware of incoming prisoner.
*Bring prisoner to processing/booking room. Leave secured if violent/repeat offender.
*Check prisoner’s pockets (coat/jumpsuit), pack, and any containers within pack.
*Confiscate any contraband/evidence found. Note: Evidence must have pertinence to the case. If there is no direct correlation, evidence should be returned to person or respective department.
*Inform the prisoners superior of the arrest.
*Proceed to ‘Jailing’.

===Questioning===
*Questioning should be done in the brig. Booking/Processing is to be used for ‘informal’ interviews. Interrogation should be used in the case of more in-depth investigations.
*The Investigative team should get preference in questioning a suspect unless there's a good reason. A standard processing interview for an open and shut case is probably not worth their time, but it's always good to ask.
*If the person is not a suspect, do not handle them as an offender (handcuffing, stunning, or flashing them is not okay).
*Ensure usage of recorder during interrogations; ensure the suspect/prisoner/witness is aware they are being recorded. Ensure the suspect/prisoner/witness states their or has their name/occupation stated at the beginning of an interrogation.
*If person remains uncooperative, make note of this. Seek advice from your Head of Security.

===Jailing===
*Move prisoner to appropriate cell.
*Place personal items the prisoner was deemed able to keep upon release in cell locker.
*Set cell timer to appropriate time and secure cell.
*Remove handcuffs from prisoner’s person within secure cell if able to do so without severe risk to own wellbeing.
*Ensure records are properly updated to reflect prisoner’s crimes/status.

===Autopsies===
*All autopsies should be conducted by investigations within the autopsy room. If no investigators are present, the cadaver should be stored until one arrives.
*More steps outlining autopsies can be found [[Guide to Cadavers | here.]]
*Once the autopsy is completed, if the deceased was an employee aboard the SCCV Horizon, the cadaver should be remanded to medical so that they may carry out any potential [[#Post Mortem Wishes | post-mortem wishes.]]

==Medical==
===Restricted Pharmaceuticals===
The Pharmacy may, at times, require the production or possession of otherwise [[Drug Law|banned chemicals]] within the Republic of Biesel. These chemicals are exempt from contraband regulation if such chemicals are produced for the explicit use in production of medicines, and stored securely within the Pharmacy. These chemicals may be confiscated as contraband should they leave the Pharmacy.

At no time may any banned chemical be produced for purposes other than medicine production. Banned chemicals may not be administered to crew of the vessel. Banned chemicals without use for medicine production may be securely stored within the Pharmacy for safety, such as illegal chemicals distributed from the warehouse.

===Paramedic Helmet===
Paramedics are to use their helmet on the same basis as security: on code blue and above, and in dangerous situations.

===Postmortem Wishes===
It is medical's responsibility to ensure that post-mortem wishes are carried out for any crew who lose their lives aboard the SCCV Horizon. Bodies autopsied by investigations should be remanded to medical for this purpose once the autopsy is completed. Postmortem wishes are expected to be followed to the letter, if at all possible, by the Horizon.

===Medical Treatment Waiver===
Employees that do not wish to be treated, should be provided with the Medical Treatment Waiver form from the request consoles to sign.

===Medical Uniform Regulations===
On-duty medical personnel whose duties include '''direct patient care''' are required to wear the standard uniform provided by their employer or maintain a business attire preferably (but not required) in the colours of their corporation. Footwear must be professional and closed toe, with exception to Unathi medical personnel who may wear open toe shoes and Dionae medical personnel who may wear no footwear.

Casual wear, inappropriate footwear, shorts not issued with a uniform, and skirts of any kind are not allowed. Paramedics are required to be immediately and easily identifiable as Medical personnel.

====Operating Rooms====
For patient safety and infection control, OR's are held to a higher standard. Scrubs or a protective sterile surgical apron completely covering clothing underneath. Full PPE, including masks for employees who breathe and sterile gloves. Remember to wash your hands!

Employees entering for brief periods are only required the use of sterile gloves and masks. These employees may not come into contact with a patient undergoing an operation.

Tajara surgical personnel should be garbed in full body sterile drapes for infection prevention.

Shorts provided by PMCG-issued uniforms may '''NOT''' be used within the Operating Rooms.

Personnel failing to meet these requirements for the medical department are in violation of failing to execute an order.

==AI==
===AI Monitoring===
The AI only has to monitor the following secure areas:
*Armory
*SAT (The big nuke room)
*Telecommunications
*The Vault
*Command areas (Bridge, head of staff offices, etc.)
*Secure Storage
*Research Storage
*Research Server Room
*Engine Room (Supermatter specifically, INDRA if it is running)
*AI Core and AI Upload

===Access to the AI===
In order to access the AI upload or the AI core a Captain-level decision is required. All command staff must be informed of the decision.

The AI may have its laws altered or reset via a Captain-level decision. This action may be performed by an Operations Manager, qualified Head of Staff, or a Machinist under Command supervision.

Standard Operating Procedure

2026-07-03T21:30:19Z

William Murdoch: /* Operations */

{{Reference}}
{{IC_Laws}}

All Stellar Corporate Conglomerate vessels share a set of standard procedures that are to be followed. These guide the different departments on board the vessel, outline certain points and clear up some issues that may arise.

==General==
===Departmental Ranking===
<small>''See more: [[Chain of Command]]''</small>

Unless stated otherwise, all Departmental Staff are equal in rank, with differing responsibilities and assignments. The exceptions are departmental assistants/interns/apprentices, and standard assistants.

It is within the capacity of the Departmental Head of Staff to promote and designate senior leaders as they see fit, within their own department.

===Alert Levels===
The alert system is a standardized system of five colors which correspond to the status of the vessel. These levels may alter procedure and regulations to better assist departments in addressing non-standard situations.

Alert levels may be altered by Command and Command-support personnel as needed. A change in alert level must be made in tandem with an announcement appraising the crew of the reasoning for change in alert level, as well as any advisories necessary for safety.

====Green Alert====
Green alert indicates standard operations without any non-standard danger or elevated privileges. All regulations and procedures shall be enforced. Security personnel may not openly brandish weaponry, or wear armor plating on the arms, legs, or head except for in situations that may require temporary additional protections.

====Yellow Alert====
Yellow Alert indicates any non-standard operational state that presents a biological threat to the vessel. During Yellow alert status, all personnel shall assist in addressing the situation as necessary.

Command personnel may permit privileges to any department as necessary to address the situation. These privileges must be reasonable for the situation at hand, subject to review after the conclusion of a Yellow alert. All privileges permitted to a department during Yellow alert must be announced to the vessel.

====Blue Alert====
Blue alert indicates a high potential or unknown danger to the vessel. Elevation to Blue alert shall only be performed should the situation at hand not be sufficiently contained through standard procedures. All departments shall assist in the addressing of potential threats to the vessel to ensure a swift return to standard operations. Regulations and Standard Operation Procedures shall still apply as standard, however additional privileges are permitted to assist in non-standard operations.

Security personnel are permitted to wear arm and leg guards, as well as openly-carry weaponry. Random and locational searches are permitted with probable cause. Heads of Staff may refuse a locational search if it is within their department, a command-restricted location, or high-value storage.

The camera-network, vital sensors, and maintenance system access restrictions are lowered. However, abuse of these systems may result in punitive action where deemed necessary by on-duty Security personnel.

====Red Alert====
Red alert indicates a confirmed and immediate threat to the vessel, requiring all on-duty personnel to assist in the resolution of the situation. Elevation to Red alert requires a Captain-level decision, as well as the presence of two command personnel capable of swiping for alert level elevation at a keycard authentication terminal present within all Command offices. Elevation to Red alert necessitates a situation report to Central Command at the earliest reasonable time.

Standard Operating Procedures and Regulations may be disregarded as necessary by Command personnel to appropriately address any threats to the vessel, subject to review as necessary following the conclusion of a Red alert.

To assist in operations, all personnel are required to utilize Tau Ceti Basic on all radio channels, as well as the setting of suit sensors to maximum.

====Delta Alert====
<small>''See more: [[#Evacuation and Emergency Bluespace Jumps|Evacuation and Emergency Bluespace Jumps]]''</small>

Delta alert indicates a situation in which the vessel may not be recovered. Due to sensitive equipment and data on-board the vessel, in inability to contain a given situation, the vessel will undergo scuttling operations. At this time, all personnel must evacuate the vessel. Command and Security personnel are permitted any action necessary to ensure the swift evacuation of the vessel. All Standard Procedures and Regulations may be disregarded.

===External Partners===
Approved External Business Partners ("Merchants") with a SCC merchant pass possess docking authorization from Central Command and are permitted to dock and conduct business with the vessel. Merchants are expected to comply with all vessel regulations and rules set by Command Staff while aboard the ship. A merchant has direct authority over their own vessel and may choose to provide or deny their services as they see fit. Merchants are authorized to carry a concealed weapon for purposes of personal defense while aboard the vessel, unless explicitly prohibited by Command Staff. Employees who purchase items from a merchant take full responsibility for the possession and legality of these purchases. The Security Department is neither responsible for nor authorized to confiscate wares aboard a merchant's vessel and may not charge or detain a merchant for the possession of wares that remain aboard that vessel. The Security Department may not enforce regulations aboard a docked merchant vessel, except for issues that arise between Stellar Corporate Conglomerate employees, or to neutralize an immediate hostile and violent threat to the vessel.

===Off-Duty Crew===
Off-duty crewmembers and passengers on the working decks are not contracted to work or otherwise assume the role of any of the actively employed crew. Even if they work for the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate, promotion of off-duty crew or passengers to vessel ranks, except in the direst of circumstances, will be regarded as neglect of duty and/or exceeding official powers. During these circumstances, volunteers will not be compensated in any fashion by the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate and will not be insured against any injuries they sustain. Without exception, off-duty crewmembers and passengers are not permitted to be promoted to command ranks.

===Press===
Visiting and subcontracting ("freelance") journalists are not to be censored via a news channel D-Notice, unless a Captain-level decision determines that the content they publish directly endangers the safety of Stellar Corporate Conglomerate employees. Command Staff choosing to apply a D-Notice in this manner are expected to immediately contact Central Command to report that it has been applied. The creator of the channel is also to be made aware of both the notice and the reasoning for its implementation.

Journalists directly employed by the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate voluntarily waive these protections, as per the terms of their employment contract.

===Non-Structural Alterations===
Non-structural or cosmetic remodeling of a department may be performed by any staff with written and signed consent of the department in question. Cosmetic alteration to general areas, such as hallways, arrivals, and departures, require consent from the Chief Engineer, The Captain, or (in the absence of both) Command as a whole.

===Uniforms===
All on-duty personnel must wear appropriate attire such that the upper '''and''' lower body are adequately covered. Undergarments such as bras do not suffice, however clothing such as tank tops are sufficient. Failure to do so will result in i105 - Indecent Exposure.

Exceptions are granted to vaurcesian employees and '''non-shell''' IPCs not within the security, medical, or command departments, who may wear gear harnesses without further clothing.

Additionally, appropriate PPE must be utilized where necessary. Examples include the use of insulated gloves when modifying electrical equipment, or hard hats when modifying the ship hull.

===Shuttle Use===
<small>'See more: [[Guide to Piloting]]''</small>

The SCCV Horizon's shuttles may be used at any time by designated qualified personnel for the purpose of mining and exploration. Their flight activities may only be grounded by instating a flight ban, which may be established during Code Red security situations, orders from SCC Central Command, Operations Manager, or an Executive Officer.

The mining shuttle is allowed a degree of autonomy and does not require clearance to depart the SCCV Horizon for the purpose of mining operations unless a flight ban is in place. The shuttle is under the oversight of the Operations Manager, who retains the authority to ground or recall the shuttle at their discretion. The Canary is under the oversight of the Executive Officer but may be utilized by all of Command in necessary situations.

The SCCV Horizon bridge must accommodate prospecting and exploration missions before plotting course to a different location.

===Shuttle Pre-Flight Safety Checks===
During standard operation, it is necessary to ensure all airlocks are properly sealed prior to take-off in any shuttle. These checks should be performed by a [[Hangar Technician]] if present, otherwise the pilot of the shuttle craft may perform the check. Failure to do so will be considered i206 - Neglect of Duty or, should damages occur, i221 - Gross Negligence.

Proper pre-flight safety checks must include a visual sweep of the surrounding area to ensure it is free of hazards and personnel. Following this, a visual check of all airlocks must be performed. If an airlock is '''overridden''', force either set of doors closed, or if additional systems are available to seal the atmosphere of the shuttle, such as airtight shutters, they should be enabled and confirmed to be active. After the surrounding area, airlocks, and additional systems have been visually checked, the inspecting crew member must announce that the shuttle is cleared for flight if they are not the pilot of the shuttle.

===Horizon Weapons Systems===
The SCCV Horizon has been equipped with two main weapons systems in order to safeguard its assets, personnel, and mission. Its use and operation are an expectation during emergencies.

Bridge crew and Operations personnel are expected to follow command team orders on usage of the many systems aboard. In the absence of command, bridge crewmen are expected to operate the weaponry with discretion.

Weaponry should only be fired as a last resort, and all SCC personnel should consider the implications such actions may have on both the region and the greater Chainlink as a whole.

The Canary's weaponry may be used by the team lead on its away mission without command approval, but its use will be reviewed upon return to the Horizon. Misuse of any of the weapon systems are grounds for immediate termination.

===Salvage Operations===
During standard operation, the Horizon may come across abandoned or wrecked vessels. Due to various contracts secured between the SCC and governments of visited regions, these vessels may be salvaged by crew under the following conditions:

*The site is not inhabited or occupied.
*No local laws prohibit the salvage of that site.
*No other organization has previously claimed the site.
*No other department has claimed the site for other activities. Examples include:
**Archaeological exploration by the Science Department.
**Structural repair ordered by the Chief Engineer.
**Quarantine declared by the Chief Medical Officer.

Unless otherwise agreed upon with other organizations prior to a salvaging operation, such as Central Command or external partners, all equipment and materials salvaged from a site may be stored and used at the discretion of the Horizon.

==Command==
===Prohibited Imagery===
The following list contains all organizations containing prohibited imagery and symbology. Any items displaying the imagery or symbology of an organization contained on this list may not, under any circumstances, be displayed by Command or Bridge personnel.

*Emblems of [[Human Wildlands|"warlord states"]], including the '''Solarian Restoration Front''', '''the League of Independent Corporate-Free Systems''', '''the Free Solarian Fleets''', '''the Southern Solarian Military District''', and the '''Southern Fleet Administration'''; or
*Emblems of anti-corporate organizations such as the '''[[Himeo|United Syndicates of Himeo]]''', '''[[Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai|Adhomian Liberation Army]]''', the '''[[Mictlan|"Founding Movement", or the "Samaritans"]]'''; or
*Emblems of the group '''[[Unathi_Crime_And_Enforcement#The_Champions_of_Moghes|"Champion of Moghes"]]'''.

===Uniform Regulations===
All Command and Bridge personnel must wear appropriate business or business casual clothing. Personnel may not dress in a manner that may lead to the misidentification as a member of their originating corporation or nation-state. All prohibited imagery or symbology may not be worn under any circumstances.

===Acting Captain===
Should the Command staff be missing a captain, it is preferred that all members of the Command staff present act as a singular commanding entity, thus negating the need to promote a specific person to the position of Acting Captain. Under such operations, the Command Staff carries the authority of the captain and can conduct actions that would otherwise require the captain's approval. These actions require a Command vote to enact a captain-level decision. Command votes to enact a captain-level decision may '''not''' occur if a captain is present.

All Heads of Staff can initiate a Command vote. This vote is considered a captain-level decision and thus carries the authority of the captain. A Command vote begins with one or more Heads of Staff declaring what the vote intends to do over the command radio. All Heads of Staff are expected to participate and vote yes, no, or verbally abstain (abstaining through inaction is not permitted). All command votes are majority-rules unless stated otherwise. In the event the command vote ends in a tie, the vote automatically fails. Any votes taken against another Head of Staff will see the implicated party automatically abstained from voting. Additionally, Command staff who have been formally detained under orders of the Head of Security will be unable to vote until they have been released and allowed to reassume their previous position.

During non-standard operation, the Command staff may vote to appoint an Acting Captain among the Command staff. This is a standard Command-level vote only requiring a majority in favor. In the event a Head of Staff is elevated to Captainship, Central Command should be informed immediately as the situation allows. Once standard operation is resumed, and any non-standard situations have been resolved, the Acting Captain must resign captainship and reassume their previous position.

===Captain Authority===
The vessel's assigned Captain has full authority over the operation of the vessel and the attached shuttles. They are authorized to shut down departments at their discretion, reassign crew members, issue direct orders to all crew members of the ship, and take actions within reason that may violate regulations in non-standard situations.

The captain is trusted to act in the best interests of the company, crew, and vessel they are assigned to. Any complaints or concerns over the captain's decisions should be addressed after their orders have been carried out, and after the situation that prompted those orders has been resolved.

===Command Staff===
During standard operation, all Departmental Heads of Staff are equal under the command of the captain present onboard the vessel. Should a department find itself lacking a Head of Staff, the Captain is able to either assume direct supervision of the department or otherwise appoint a senior crew member to fill the missing role through the procedure for [[#Interim Command Staff|Interim Heads of Staff]].

During non-standard operation, a specific Departmental Head of Staff may be elevated above others, should the crisis situation fall under the responsibility of their department. At that point, other departments should act in a supporting role.

===Interim Command Staff===
<small>''See more: [[Chain_of_Command#Interim_Heads_of_Staff|Chain of Command]]''</small>

During standard operation, departments lacking a Head of Staff may have a senior crew member elevated into an Interim Head of Staff position by the Captain, Acting Captain, or Executive Officer. They inherit equal responsibility and power to a normal Head of Staff, with the exception of votes of no confidence to which an Interim Head of Staff may not start or participate in. During the selection of an Interim Head of Staff, considerations for SCC standards should be applied, regardless of whether it may exclude potential options for Interim. In the event of a crew member being elevated into an interim position, a promotion form should be completed.

During non-standard operation, restrictions and considerations on an Interim Head of Staff may be ignored, with exception of vaurcesian employees who may not be elevated under any circumstance. However, all Interim Heads of Staff that do not otherwise fit SCC standards must be demoted to their standard position immediately following the conclusion of non-standard operations.

===Command on Leaving the Vessel===
Should, during standard or non-standard operation, the need for one or more Command staff to leave the SCCV Horizon arise, it is possible for them to do so if and only if there is at least one other Command staff remaining on the ship after their departure. If any command vote is called while there are Command staff away from the ship, their vote is still required, and their return should be awaited. This section may be overridden by a captain if required.

===Corporate Liaisons and Consular Officers===
Command staff are expected to engage representatives (both corporate and diplomatic) through diplomacy and to consent to reasonable requests. The representative is not part of the vessel chain of command. The representative is granted special status in relation to corporate regulations:
*The representative does not serve brig time for low level infractions; the fine alternative can be used in those cases.
*The representative can serve brig time for medium and high-level infractions, with command staff being able to contact Central Command requesting the revocation of the representative's privileges.
*The representative's office offers immunity to the representative. Security may not enter to conduct arrests under normal circumstances. Entering or refusing to exit the office is considered trespassing.
*The office's immunity may be revoked by the captain or a captain level decision.
*Security is only able to conduct an arrest inside the representative's if the office's immunity was revoked or if there is clear evidence that a medium or high-level infraction is happening inside the office.

===Departmental Funds===
Through the combined budgets of the SCC Chainlink, departmental funds have been granted to the use of each department. Command members are encouraged to make use of this allotment as needed for day to day needs to ensure smooth operation. Heads of Staff are encouraged to utilize these funds to acquire materials, equipment, or other general supplies.

Additionally, Command Members may authorize small bonuses to crew members for exceptional situations up to 1000 credits or incentive bonuses up to 500 credits. Bonuses should be documented on general faxes and sent to Central explaining the situation, employee, and amount.

===Evacuation and Emergency Bluespace Jumps===
During extreme non-standard operation, evacuation or emergency bluespace jump orders may be used when the Horizon is placed in a situation that threatens the destruction of the vessel or her crew. Emergency bluespace jumps are the preferred order, with evacuations remaining a last resort that may coincide with [[#Delta Alert|Delta Alert]].

An evacuation or emergency bluespace jump order may only be enacted by a captain or '''unanimous''' Command-level vote. Central Command '''must''' be notified of the order along with a brief reasoning before the order has been completed. In the event of an evacuation, all sensitive information, materials, and equipment must either be destroyed or secured with the evacuating crew.

===Incident Management===
During non-standard operation, it is expected for departments to assist in the safe resolution of said incident and the recovery of standard operations. When it becomes clear that a significant incident is arising that could affect standard operations of the vessel or cause significant damage to crew or property, it is expected that (when possible) all on board personnel are provided with the following information:
*A brief description of the current incident.
*What steps have been taken so far to combat this incident.
*Suggested action for the crew to take.
*(If applicable) A brief description of the reasoning behind a change in alert level.

Exceptions to this include where the above information would compromise vessel security or safety. If this is the case it is expected that as much information as is safe to do so is dispensed for the crew.

===Faxes===
<small>''See more: [[Guide to Faxes]]''</small>

Command and Command-support personnel may be required, from time to time, to fax an external organization. These communications must follow given standards as necessary for the correct routing and swift processing of communications.

All Command personnel are permitted to seek guidance from Central Command as necessary during vessel operations. However, at no point may any personnel halt, delay, or otherwise disrupt operations pending return communication from Central Command.

====Internal Routed Faxes====
All communications routing within the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate network, including Central Command or affiliate-corporations, shall use internal SCC routing. These communications must utilize standardized forms appropriate for a given communication. All fields, with exception of index, must be filled. Tau Ceti Basic is to be utilized except for signatures. Stamps, where necessary, must be provided. Failure to abide by these guidelines may result in the misrouting or rejection of a sent communication. The following is a guideline for standard fax forms:

*General Fax: To be utilized for standard, non-urgent communications. This is the standard form for non-critical updates, personnel alterations such as suspensions, budget use for bonuses, and other miscellaneous communications.

*Situation Report: To be utilized for high-urgency, immediate-attention communication with Central Command. This is the standard form for all non-standard situation reports.

*Secondary Forms: Secondary forms (such as security reports, forensics reports, medical reports, or any other document) that are to be sent to Central Command should be attached to any of the above as required, and not sent on their own.

====External Routed Faxes====
All communications routed to non-SCC entities, such as a government or an independent organization. These communications have no standard guidelines, and as such may be performed as necessary.

==Science==
===Scientific Experimentation===
Approved science experiments being performed by or with oversight from qualified researchers must be performed in a way that does not unnecessarily risk crew or vessel unless otherwise authorized by the [[Research Director]] or [[Captain]]. All sentient test subjects involved in the experiment must sign a SFFC-0501 Personal Release prior to the experiment. All items classified as contraband may be utilized within an approved experiment, however may not leave the production or testing environment, and must be stored properly after the experiment concludes. Failure to adhere to this procedure may result in an i221 - Gross Negligence.

===Slimes Experiments & Non-sapient Xenological Lifeforms===
Slimes, non-sapient xenoforms, and the subjects of transformative xenobiological experiments are not classified as crew, members of humanity or affiliated alien races, but as test subjects and property of the SCC. Performing transformative xenobiological experiments on a co-worker is considered homicide and is punishable by corporate regulations and by law.

==Operations==
===Warehouse Contents===
The operations department is expected to store and distribute warehouse supplies to the vessel's departments as deemed appropriate. The stock of the vessels warehouse is not to be regarded as contraband if it remains in the warehouse or is being transported to an appropriate destination.

===Do not Borgify ===
Personnel with a Do Not Borgify order are NOT to be borgified. Failure to heed these orders is considered malpractice by law and will be treated as such.

==Engineering==
===Vessel Modifications===
All non-structural forms of modification, optimization, or upgrades to vessel equipment are permitted so long as the modifying engineer is qualified and has obtained written permission of all staff resident to the department in question. Large-scale structural modifications or additions require written and stamped consent from either the Chief Engineer, the Captain, or (in the absence of both) a delegated representative of Command staff.

==Security==
===Warden Authority===
The Warden's authority is limited to the brig and detainees and does not extend to the Security department or its personnel. Additionally, the Warden is not a de facto interim Head of Security in the absence of a Head of Security, unless promoted to that position by command staff.

With sufficient cause, the Warden is authorized to independently issue arrest and search warrants. This authority is subject to command staff review.

===Processing Time===
Personnel detained by Security are expected to be processed in a timely manner. Because a detainee's brig sentence begins after processing is completed, excessive processing times may result in the Warden or handling Security Officers being liable for illegal detention.

===Uniform Regulation===
On-duty security officers and wardens are required to wear the standard uniform provided by their employer or maintain business casual attire in the colours of their corporation. Casual wear, inappropriate footwear, shorts not issued with a uniform and skirts of any kind are not allowed. They must be immediately and easily identifiable as members of security.

On-duty investigative personnel are required to maintain business casual attire, regardless of colour. Casual wear is not permitted. If the personnel is not immediately identifiable as security, a badge must be worn at the hip or on the outer layer of clothing for ease of identification.

Footwear for on-duty security personnel must be business casual or boots and must be closed toe. Unathi and Tajara personnel may wear open toe boots, and Diona personnel are not required to wear footwear.

===Cadetship===
Investigative personnel are not required to complete a cadetship prior to beginning department duties. Any investigative personnel not having completed a cadetship may not perform the detainment of any crew. Those investigative personnel having completed a cadetship must display this within relevant records, and may perform the detainment of crew only where a Security Officer is not available to perform the same.

===Use of Force===
During standard operation, the application of force by Security personnel in response to a given situation should follow the ‘one step above’ concept, wherein the force applied is one level above that of the target. For example, unarmed individuals would call on the use of pepperspray or stun batons. Those equipped with a melee weapon would call on the use of a firearm.

It is expected for all Security personnel, notably the Head of Security, to participate in the determination of what forms of force are applicable in a given situation. However, the determination of adequate use of force shall not impede the security of the vessel and crew.

Failure to utilize adequate use of force will result in i117 - Excessive use of force in detainment.

===Contraband===
Items deemed illegal or unduly hazardous to the vessel and crew are considered contraband. Judgement must be performed by Security Personnel performing searches as to what may classify as contraband. Items may be held for a short period of time for the purpose of identification, after which they must be stored as evidence or released. Failure to identify a held item in a timely manner will result in an i102 - Petty Theft applied to the confiscating personnel.

Contraband must classify within these categories:
*A dangerous item that crew may not possess without appropriate qualifications. I.E. A Hangar Technician possessing a chainsaw.
**Certain emergency items, such as a fireaxe, may be considered contraband during standard procedure when possessed by unqualified personnel, however during emergency situations may not be considered contraband. Appropriate judgement is expected.
*Items that have been constructed for the explicit appearance or use as a weapon.
*Items restricted by Tau Ceti law.
**This includes military-grade equipment, federally controlled pharmaceuticals, so on.
**For all illegal or controlled substances, review Tau Ceti [[Drug Law]].

Items of contraband may be permitted by SCCF-0111 Command Order only if such form has a signature and stamp from appropriate heads of staff. Contraband items may be stored within appropriate department spaces, such as contraband chemicals stored within the pharmacy, or within the warehouse for the purpose of safety.

===Responding===
Upon arriving at the scene, the security officer is expected to gauge the exact nature at the scene.

If the scene is clear:
*Radio in the situation at the scene.
*Ensure the safety of any crew in the immediate vicinity.
*Identify witnesses.
*Secure the scene in the event of occurrences (tape off area/disallow witness to leave).
*Proceed to 'Collecting Evidence'
If the scene is not clear:
*Identify nature of threat.
*If threat is able to be handled by officers on scene: Proceed with mediation/detainment.
*If threat is unable to be handled by officers on scene: Request immediate assistance. Upon requesting assistance, await said assistance before proceeding. Ensure your safety before ensuring the safety of others on scene.

===Collecting Evidence===
*Crime scenes must be sealed off for evidence to be valid. Ensure non-security personnel do not enter the scene. Avoid cordoning off high-traffic areas unless a serious crime (such as murder or mutiny) has been committed. Permission from the relevant head of staff, head of security, or captain should be gained to cordon off high-traffic areas of specific departments.
*If possible, cordoned-off areas should still allow access around it, via maintenance tunnels, less area taped off, or other methods. *Autopsies should be performed within the morgue.
*Disrupt standard vessel operation as little as possible around the crime scene.
*Investigative staff should be requested. Officers on scene are expected to ensure scene security until/during the arrival of/processing of the scene by investigative staff. If no investigative staff is available, officers are expected to secure evidence on scene.
*Witness statements should be taken (either via recorder or on paper) and physical evidence should be secured.

===Handling Evidence===
*Ensure gloves are worn to prevent contamination of evidence.
*Items that can be, must be held in evidence bags for transportation.
*Crime scene must be preserved until all evidence is collected.
*After evidence is collected, cadavers may be removed to the morgue and area may be cleaned up.

===Searches===
During standard operation, all individuals on the vessel are affording protections against unnecessary searches. These protections are waived in the following cases:
*The ship is on [[Guide to Alert Levels|Blue, Red, or Delta alert]].
*A search warrant has been authorized.
*The search is initiated within the two pre-designated checkpoint areas.
*The search is initiated at an improvised checkpoint area with Head of Security or Captain-level approval.

The procedure for initiating a search is as follows:
*The intent to search an individual is announced by an authorized Security Officer, Warden, or Head of Security.
*The authorized search warrant is presented if applicable.
*Select storage spaces on the individual are searched according to type of search:
**Checkpoint searches are limited to jackets, bags, and any containers within those articles.
**All other searches are permitted to search all storage spaces on an individual.
*Outstanding items identified as [[Guide to Contraband|contraband]] must be removed and bagged as evidence.
*All other items are returned to the individual.
*Should detainment be required, follow the procedure on [[#Arrest|arrests]].

===Arrest===
During standard operation, an authorized warrant is required to carry out an arrest. Authorization can be provided from a Captain-level decision, Head of Security, or Warden. The requirement for a warrant prior to arrest is waived in the following cases:
*The ship is on [[Guide to Alert Levels|Blue, Red, or Delta alert]].
*The member of Security directly witnesses the crime.
*It can be reasonably concluded that failure to act will pose an immediate danger to the crew and/or vessel.
Proceed as follows during the event of detainment:
*Announce intention to arrest and charges vocally. Present authorized warrant if applicable.
*Request the suspect surrender peaceably
*If suspect resists, attempt to handcuff. Verbal disagreement or swearing is '''not''' resisting. Verbal threats of violence, damage, or death '''are''' considered resisting arrest.
*If suspects fight back or run, apply needed force to cease flight and detain suspect. A charge of resisting arrest should be applied in this case.
*Remove suspect to brig for processing.
For witnessed major/violent crime:
*Immediately attempt detainment of suspect, with charges read out when suspect is secured.
*Remove suspect to brig for processing.

===Processing===
*Ensure Warden is aware of incoming prisoner.
*Bring prisoner to processing/booking room. Leave secured if violent/repeat offender.
*Check prisoner’s pockets (coat/jumpsuit), pack, and any containers within pack.
*Confiscate any contraband/evidence found. Note: Evidence must have pertinence to the case. If there is no direct correlation, evidence should be returned to person or respective department.
*Inform the prisoners superior of the arrest.
*Proceed to ‘Jailing’.

===Questioning===
*Questioning should be done in the brig. Booking/Processing is to be used for ‘informal’ interviews. Interrogation should be used in the case of more in-depth investigations.
*The Investigative team should get preference in questioning a suspect unless there's a good reason. A standard processing interview for an open and shut case is probably not worth their time, but it's always good to ask.
*If the person is not a suspect, do not handle them as an offender (handcuffing, stunning, or flashing them is not okay).
*Ensure usage of recorder during interrogations; ensure the suspect/prisoner/witness is aware they are being recorded. Ensure the suspect/prisoner/witness states their or has their name/occupation stated at the beginning of an interrogation.
*If person remains uncooperative, make note of this. Seek advice from your Head of Security.

===Jailing===
*Move prisoner to appropriate cell.
*Place personal items the prisoner was deemed able to keep upon release in cell locker.
*Set cell timer to appropriate time and secure cell.
*Remove handcuffs from prisoner’s person within secure cell if able to do so without severe risk to own wellbeing.
*Ensure records are properly updated to reflect prisoner’s crimes/status.

===Autopsies===
*All autopsies should be conducted by investigations within the autopsy room. If no investigators are present, the cadaver should be stored until one arrives.
*More steps outlining autopsies can be found [[Guide to Cadavers | here.]]
*Once the autopsy is completed, if the deceased was an employee aboard the SCCV Horizon, the cadaver should be remanded to medical so that they may carry out any potential [[#Post Mortem Wishes | post-mortem wishes.]]

==Medical==
===Restricted Pharmaceuticals===
The Pharmacy may, at times, require the production or possession of otherwise [[Drug Law|banned chemicals]] within the Republic of Biesel. These chemicals are exempt from contraband regulation if such chemicals are produced for the explicit use in production of medicines, and stored securely within the Pharmacy. These chemicals may be confiscated as contraband should they leave the Pharmacy.

At no time may any banned chemical be produced for purposes other than medicine production. Banned chemicals may not be administered to crew of the vessel. Banned chemicals without use for medicine production may be securely stored within the Pharmacy for safety, such as illegal chemicals distributed from the warehouse.

===Paramedic Helmet===
Paramedics are to use their helmet on the same basis as security: on code blue and above, and in dangerous situations.

===Postmortem Wishes===
It is medical's responsibility to ensure that post-mortem wishes are carried out for any crew who lose their lives aboard the SCCV Horizon. Bodies autopsied by investigations should be remanded to medical for this purpose once the autopsy is completed. Postmortem wishes are expected to be followed to the letter, if at all possible, by the Horizon.

===Medical Treatment Waiver===
Employees that do not wish to be treated, should be provided with the Medical Treatment Waiver form from the request consoles to sign.

===Medical Uniform Regulations===
On-duty medical personnel whose duties include '''direct patient care''' are required to wear the standard uniform provided by their employer or maintain a business attire preferably (but not required) in the colours of their corporation. Footwear must be professional and closed toe, with exception to Unathi medical personnel who may wear open toe shoes and Dionae medical personnel who may wear no footwear.

Casual wear, inappropriate footwear, shorts not issued with a uniform, and skirts of any kind are not allowed. Paramedics are required to be immediately and easily identifiable as Medical personnel.

====Operating Rooms====
For patient safety and infection control, OR's are held to a higher standard. Scrubs or a protective sterile surgical apron completely covering clothing underneath. Full PPE, including masks for employees who breathe and sterile gloves. Remember to wash your hands!

Employees entering for brief periods are only required the use of sterile gloves and masks. These employees may not come into contact with a patient undergoing an operation.

Tajara surgical personnel should be garbed in full body sterile drapes for infection prevention.

Shorts provided by PMCG-issued uniforms may '''NOT''' be used within the Operating Rooms.

Personnel failing to meet these requirements for the medical department are in violation of failing to execute an order.

==AI==
===AI Monitoring===
The AI only has to monitor the following secure areas:
*Armory
*SAT (The big nuke room)
*Telecommunications
*The Vault
*Command areas (Bridge, head of staff offices, etc.)
*Secure Storage
*Research Storage
*Research Server Room
*Engine Room (Supermatter specifically, INDRA if it is running)
*AI Core and AI Upload

===Access to the AI===
In order to access the AI upload or the AI core a Captain-level decision is required. All command staff must be informed of the decision.

The AI may have its laws altered or reset via a Captain-level decision. This action may be performed by an Operations Manager, qualified Head of Staff, or a Machinist under Command supervision.

Standard Operating Procedure

2026-07-03T21:30:01Z

William Murdoch: /* Medical */ Banned chemicals

{{Reference}}
{{IC_Laws}}

All Stellar Corporate Conglomerate vessels share a set of standard procedures that are to be followed. These guide the different departments on board the vessel, outline certain points and clear up some issues that may arise.

==General==
===Departmental Ranking===
<small>''See more: [[Chain of Command]]''</small>

Unless stated otherwise, all Departmental Staff are equal in rank, with differing responsibilities and assignments. The exceptions are departmental assistants/interns/apprentices, and standard assistants.

It is within the capacity of the Departmental Head of Staff to promote and designate senior leaders as they see fit, within their own department.

===Alert Levels===
The alert system is a standardized system of five colors which correspond to the status of the vessel. These levels may alter procedure and regulations to better assist departments in addressing non-standard situations.

Alert levels may be altered by Command and Command-support personnel as needed. A change in alert level must be made in tandem with an announcement appraising the crew of the reasoning for change in alert level, as well as any advisories necessary for safety.

====Green Alert====
Green alert indicates standard operations without any non-standard danger or elevated privileges. All regulations and procedures shall be enforced. Security personnel may not openly brandish weaponry, or wear armor plating on the arms, legs, or head except for in situations that may require temporary additional protections.

====Yellow Alert====
Yellow Alert indicates any non-standard operational state that presents a biological threat to the vessel. During Yellow alert status, all personnel shall assist in addressing the situation as necessary.

Command personnel may permit privileges to any department as necessary to address the situation. These privileges must be reasonable for the situation at hand, subject to review after the conclusion of a Yellow alert. All privileges permitted to a department during Yellow alert must be announced to the vessel.

====Blue Alert====
Blue alert indicates a high potential or unknown danger to the vessel. Elevation to Blue alert shall only be performed should the situation at hand not be sufficiently contained through standard procedures. All departments shall assist in the addressing of potential threats to the vessel to ensure a swift return to standard operations. Regulations and Standard Operation Procedures shall still apply as standard, however additional privileges are permitted to assist in non-standard operations.

Security personnel are permitted to wear arm and leg guards, as well as openly-carry weaponry. Random and locational searches are permitted with probable cause. Heads of Staff may refuse a locational search if it is within their department, a command-restricted location, or high-value storage.

The camera-network, vital sensors, and maintenance system access restrictions are lowered. However, abuse of these systems may result in punitive action where deemed necessary by on-duty Security personnel.

====Red Alert====
Red alert indicates a confirmed and immediate threat to the vessel, requiring all on-duty personnel to assist in the resolution of the situation. Elevation to Red alert requires a Captain-level decision, as well as the presence of two command personnel capable of swiping for alert level elevation at a keycard authentication terminal present within all Command offices. Elevation to Red alert necessitates a situation report to Central Command at the earliest reasonable time.

Standard Operating Procedures and Regulations may be disregarded as necessary by Command personnel to appropriately address any threats to the vessel, subject to review as necessary following the conclusion of a Red alert.

To assist in operations, all personnel are required to utilize Tau Ceti Basic on all radio channels, as well as the setting of suit sensors to maximum.

====Delta Alert====
<small>''See more: [[#Evacuation and Emergency Bluespace Jumps|Evacuation and Emergency Bluespace Jumps]]''</small>

Delta alert indicates a situation in which the vessel may not be recovered. Due to sensitive equipment and data on-board the vessel, in inability to contain a given situation, the vessel will undergo scuttling operations. At this time, all personnel must evacuate the vessel. Command and Security personnel are permitted any action necessary to ensure the swift evacuation of the vessel. All Standard Procedures and Regulations may be disregarded.

===External Partners===
Approved External Business Partners ("Merchants") with a SCC merchant pass possess docking authorization from Central Command and are permitted to dock and conduct business with the vessel. Merchants are expected to comply with all vessel regulations and rules set by Command Staff while aboard the ship. A merchant has direct authority over their own vessel and may choose to provide or deny their services as they see fit. Merchants are authorized to carry a concealed weapon for purposes of personal defense while aboard the vessel, unless explicitly prohibited by Command Staff. Employees who purchase items from a merchant take full responsibility for the possession and legality of these purchases. The Security Department is neither responsible for nor authorized to confiscate wares aboard a merchant's vessel and may not charge or detain a merchant for the possession of wares that remain aboard that vessel. The Security Department may not enforce regulations aboard a docked merchant vessel, except for issues that arise between Stellar Corporate Conglomerate employees, or to neutralize an immediate hostile and violent threat to the vessel.

===Off-Duty Crew===
Off-duty crewmembers and passengers on the working decks are not contracted to work or otherwise assume the role of any of the actively employed crew. Even if they work for the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate, promotion of off-duty crew or passengers to vessel ranks, except in the direst of circumstances, will be regarded as neglect of duty and/or exceeding official powers. During these circumstances, volunteers will not be compensated in any fashion by the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate and will not be insured against any injuries they sustain. Without exception, off-duty crewmembers and passengers are not permitted to be promoted to command ranks.

===Press===
Visiting and subcontracting ("freelance") journalists are not to be censored via a news channel D-Notice, unless a Captain-level decision determines that the content they publish directly endangers the safety of Stellar Corporate Conglomerate employees. Command Staff choosing to apply a D-Notice in this manner are expected to immediately contact Central Command to report that it has been applied. The creator of the channel is also to be made aware of both the notice and the reasoning for its implementation.

Journalists directly employed by the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate voluntarily waive these protections, as per the terms of their employment contract.

===Non-Structural Alterations===
Non-structural or cosmetic remodeling of a department may be performed by any staff with written and signed consent of the department in question. Cosmetic alteration to general areas, such as hallways, arrivals, and departures, require consent from the Chief Engineer, The Captain, or (in the absence of both) Command as a whole.

===Uniforms===
All on-duty personnel must wear appropriate attire such that the upper '''and''' lower body are adequately covered. Undergarments such as bras do not suffice, however clothing such as tank tops are sufficient. Failure to do so will result in i105 - Indecent Exposure.

Exceptions are granted to vaurcesian employees and '''non-shell''' IPCs not within the security, medical, or command departments, who may wear gear harnesses without further clothing.

Additionally, appropriate PPE must be utilized where necessary. Examples include the use of insulated gloves when modifying electrical equipment, or hard hats when modifying the ship hull.

===Shuttle Use===
<small>'See more: [[Guide to Piloting]]''</small>

The SCCV Horizon's shuttles may be used at any time by designated qualified personnel for the purpose of mining and exploration. Their flight activities may only be grounded by instating a flight ban, which may be established during Code Red security situations, orders from SCC Central Command, Operations Manager, or an Executive Officer.

The mining shuttle is allowed a degree of autonomy and does not require clearance to depart the SCCV Horizon for the purpose of mining operations unless a flight ban is in place. The shuttle is under the oversight of the Operations Manager, who retains the authority to ground or recall the shuttle at their discretion. The Canary is under the oversight of the Executive Officer but may be utilized by all of Command in necessary situations.

The SCCV Horizon bridge must accommodate prospecting and exploration missions before plotting course to a different location.

===Shuttle Pre-Flight Safety Checks===
During standard operation, it is necessary to ensure all airlocks are properly sealed prior to take-off in any shuttle. These checks should be performed by a [[Hangar Technician]] if present, otherwise the pilot of the shuttle craft may perform the check. Failure to do so will be considered i206 - Neglect of Duty or, should damages occur, i221 - Gross Negligence.

Proper pre-flight safety checks must include a visual sweep of the surrounding area to ensure it is free of hazards and personnel. Following this, a visual check of all airlocks must be performed. If an airlock is '''overridden''', force either set of doors closed, or if additional systems are available to seal the atmosphere of the shuttle, such as airtight shutters, they should be enabled and confirmed to be active. After the surrounding area, airlocks, and additional systems have been visually checked, the inspecting crew member must announce that the shuttle is cleared for flight if they are not the pilot of the shuttle.

===Horizon Weapons Systems===
The SCCV Horizon has been equipped with two main weapons systems in order to safeguard its assets, personnel, and mission. Its use and operation are an expectation during emergencies.

Bridge crew and Operations personnel are expected to follow command team orders on usage of the many systems aboard. In the absence of command, bridge crewmen are expected to operate the weaponry with discretion.

Weaponry should only be fired as a last resort, and all SCC personnel should consider the implications such actions may have on both the region and the greater Chainlink as a whole.

The Canary's weaponry may be used by the team lead on its away mission without command approval, but its use will be reviewed upon return to the Horizon. Misuse of any of the weapon systems are grounds for immediate termination.

===Salvage Operations===
During standard operation, the Horizon may come across abandoned or wrecked vessels. Due to various contracts secured between the SCC and governments of visited regions, these vessels may be salvaged by crew under the following conditions:

*The site is not inhabited or occupied.
*No local laws prohibit the salvage of that site.
*No other organization has previously claimed the site.
*No other department has claimed the site for other activities. Examples include:
**Archaeological exploration by the Science Department.
**Structural repair ordered by the Chief Engineer.
**Quarantine declared by the Chief Medical Officer.

Unless otherwise agreed upon with other organizations prior to a salvaging operation, such as Central Command or external partners, all equipment and materials salvaged from a site may be stored and used at the discretion of the Horizon.

==Command==
===Prohibited Imagery===
The following list contains all organizations containing prohibited imagery and symbology. Any items displaying the imagery or symbology of an organization contained on this list may not, under any circumstances, be displayed by Command or Bridge personnel.

*Emblems of [[Human Wildlands|"warlord states"]], including the '''Solarian Restoration Front''', '''the League of Independent Corporate-Free Systems''', '''the Free Solarian Fleets''', '''the Southern Solarian Military District''', and the '''Southern Fleet Administration'''; or
*Emblems of anti-corporate organizations such as the '''[[Himeo|United Syndicates of Himeo]]''', '''[[Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai|Adhomian Liberation Army]]''', the '''[[Mictlan|"Founding Movement", or the "Samaritans"]]'''; or
*Emblems of the group '''[[Unathi_Crime_And_Enforcement#The_Champions_of_Moghes|"Champion of Moghes"]]'''.

===Uniform Regulations===
All Command and Bridge personnel must wear appropriate business or business casual clothing. Personnel may not dress in a manner that may lead to the misidentification as a member of their originating corporation or nation-state. All prohibited imagery or symbology may not be worn under any circumstances.

===Acting Captain===
Should the Command staff be missing a captain, it is preferred that all members of the Command staff present act as a singular commanding entity, thus negating the need to promote a specific person to the position of Acting Captain. Under such operations, the Command Staff carries the authority of the captain and can conduct actions that would otherwise require the captain's approval. These actions require a Command vote to enact a captain-level decision. Command votes to enact a captain-level decision may '''not''' occur if a captain is present.

All Heads of Staff can initiate a Command vote. This vote is considered a captain-level decision and thus carries the authority of the captain. A Command vote begins with one or more Heads of Staff declaring what the vote intends to do over the command radio. All Heads of Staff are expected to participate and vote yes, no, or verbally abstain (abstaining through inaction is not permitted). All command votes are majority-rules unless stated otherwise. In the event the command vote ends in a tie, the vote automatically fails. Any votes taken against another Head of Staff will see the implicated party automatically abstained from voting. Additionally, Command staff who have been formally detained under orders of the Head of Security will be unable to vote until they have been released and allowed to reassume their previous position.

During non-standard operation, the Command staff may vote to appoint an Acting Captain among the Command staff. This is a standard Command-level vote only requiring a majority in favor. In the event a Head of Staff is elevated to Captainship, Central Command should be informed immediately as the situation allows. Once standard operation is resumed, and any non-standard situations have been resolved, the Acting Captain must resign captainship and reassume their previous position.

===Captain Authority===
The vessel's assigned Captain has full authority over the operation of the vessel and the attached shuttles. They are authorized to shut down departments at their discretion, reassign crew members, issue direct orders to all crew members of the ship, and take actions within reason that may violate regulations in non-standard situations.

The captain is trusted to act in the best interests of the company, crew, and vessel they are assigned to. Any complaints or concerns over the captain's decisions should be addressed after their orders have been carried out, and after the situation that prompted those orders has been resolved.

===Command Staff===
During standard operation, all Departmental Heads of Staff are equal under the command of the captain present onboard the vessel. Should a department find itself lacking a Head of Staff, the Captain is able to either assume direct supervision of the department or otherwise appoint a senior crew member to fill the missing role through the procedure for [[#Interim Command Staff|Interim Heads of Staff]].

During non-standard operation, a specific Departmental Head of Staff may be elevated above others, should the crisis situation fall under the responsibility of their department. At that point, other departments should act in a supporting role.

===Interim Command Staff===
<small>''See more: [[Chain_of_Command#Interim_Heads_of_Staff|Chain of Command]]''</small>

During standard operation, departments lacking a Head of Staff may have a senior crew member elevated into an Interim Head of Staff position by the Captain, Acting Captain, or Executive Officer. They inherit equal responsibility and power to a normal Head of Staff, with the exception of votes of no confidence to which an Interim Head of Staff may not start or participate in. During the selection of an Interim Head of Staff, considerations for SCC standards should be applied, regardless of whether it may exclude potential options for Interim. In the event of a crew member being elevated into an interim position, a promotion form should be completed.

During non-standard operation, restrictions and considerations on an Interim Head of Staff may be ignored, with exception of vaurcesian employees who may not be elevated under any circumstance. However, all Interim Heads of Staff that do not otherwise fit SCC standards must be demoted to their standard position immediately following the conclusion of non-standard operations.

===Command on Leaving the Vessel===
Should, during standard or non-standard operation, the need for one or more Command staff to leave the SCCV Horizon arise, it is possible for them to do so if and only if there is at least one other Command staff remaining on the ship after their departure. If any command vote is called while there are Command staff away from the ship, their vote is still required, and their return should be awaited. This section may be overridden by a captain if required.

===Corporate Liaisons and Consular Officers===
Command staff are expected to engage representatives (both corporate and diplomatic) through diplomacy and to consent to reasonable requests. The representative is not part of the vessel chain of command. The representative is granted special status in relation to corporate regulations:
*The representative does not serve brig time for low level infractions; the fine alternative can be used in those cases.
*The representative can serve brig time for medium and high-level infractions, with command staff being able to contact Central Command requesting the revocation of the representative's privileges.
*The representative's office offers immunity to the representative. Security may not enter to conduct arrests under normal circumstances. Entering or refusing to exit the office is considered trespassing.
*The office's immunity may be revoked by the captain or a captain level decision.
*Security is only able to conduct an arrest inside the representative's if the office's immunity was revoked or if there is clear evidence that a medium or high-level infraction is happening inside the office.

===Departmental Funds===
Through the combined budgets of the SCC Chainlink, departmental funds have been granted to the use of each department. Command members are encouraged to make use of this allotment as needed for day to day needs to ensure smooth operation. Heads of Staff are encouraged to utilize these funds to acquire materials, equipment, or other general supplies.

Additionally, Command Members may authorize small bonuses to crew members for exceptional situations up to 1000 credits or incentive bonuses up to 500 credits. Bonuses should be documented on general faxes and sent to Central explaining the situation, employee, and amount.

===Evacuation and Emergency Bluespace Jumps===
During extreme non-standard operation, evacuation or emergency bluespace jump orders may be used when the Horizon is placed in a situation that threatens the destruction of the vessel or her crew. Emergency bluespace jumps are the preferred order, with evacuations remaining a last resort that may coincide with [[#Delta Alert|Delta Alert]].

An evacuation or emergency bluespace jump order may only be enacted by a captain or '''unanimous''' Command-level vote. Central Command '''must''' be notified of the order along with a brief reasoning before the order has been completed. In the event of an evacuation, all sensitive information, materials, and equipment must either be destroyed or secured with the evacuating crew.

===Incident Management===
During non-standard operation, it is expected for departments to assist in the safe resolution of said incident and the recovery of standard operations. When it becomes clear that a significant incident is arising that could affect standard operations of the vessel or cause significant damage to crew or property, it is expected that (when possible) all on board personnel are provided with the following information:
*A brief description of the current incident.
*What steps have been taken so far to combat this incident.
*Suggested action for the crew to take.
*(If applicable) A brief description of the reasoning behind a change in alert level.

Exceptions to this include where the above information would compromise vessel security or safety. If this is the case it is expected that as much information as is safe to do so is dispensed for the crew.

===Faxes===
<small>''See more: [[Guide to Faxes]]''</small>

Command and Command-support personnel may be required, from time to time, to fax an external organization. These communications must follow given standards as necessary for the correct routing and swift processing of communications.

All Command personnel are permitted to seek guidance from Central Command as necessary during vessel operations. However, at no point may any personnel halt, delay, or otherwise disrupt operations pending return communication from Central Command.

====Internal Routed Faxes====
All communications routing within the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate network, including Central Command or affiliate-corporations, shall use internal SCC routing. These communications must utilize standardized forms appropriate for a given communication. All fields, with exception of index, must be filled. Tau Ceti Basic is to be utilized except for signatures. Stamps, where necessary, must be provided. Failure to abide by these guidelines may result in the misrouting or rejection of a sent communication. The following is a guideline for standard fax forms:

*General Fax: To be utilized for standard, non-urgent communications. This is the standard form for non-critical updates, personnel alterations such as suspensions, budget use for bonuses, and other miscellaneous communications.

*Situation Report: To be utilized for high-urgency, immediate-attention communication with Central Command. This is the standard form for all non-standard situation reports.

*Secondary Forms: Secondary forms (such as security reports, forensics reports, medical reports, or any other document) that are to be sent to Central Command should be attached to any of the above as required, and not sent on their own.

====External Routed Faxes====
All communications routed to non-SCC entities, such as a government or an independent organization. These communications have no standard guidelines, and as such may be performed as necessary.

==Science==
===Scientific Experimentation===
Approved science experiments being performed by or with oversight from qualified researchers must be performed in a way that does not unnecessarily risk crew or vessel unless otherwise authorized by the [[Research Director]] or [[Captain]]. All sentient test subjects involved in the experiment must sign a SFFC-0501 Personal Release prior to the experiment. All items classified as contraband may be utilized within an approved experiment, however may not leave the production or testing environment, and must be stored properly after the experiment concludes. Failure to adhere to this procedure may result in an i221 - Gross Negligence.

===Slimes Experiments & Non-sapient Xenological Lifeforms===
Slimes, non-sapient xenoforms, and the subjects of transformative xenobiological experiments are not classified as crew, members of humanity or affiliated alien races, but as test subjects and property of the SCC. Performing transformative xenobiological experiments on a co-worker is considered homicide and is punishable by corporate regulations and by law.

==Operations==
===Warehouse Contents===
The operations department is expected to store and distribute warehouse supplies to the vessel's departments as deemed appropriate. The stock of the vessels warehouse is not to be regarded as contraband if it remains in the warehouse or is being transported to an appropriate destination.

==Engineering==
===Vessel Modifications===
All non-structural forms of modification, optimization, or upgrades to vessel equipment are permitted so long as the modifying engineer is qualified and has obtained written permission of all staff resident to the department in question. Large-scale structural modifications or additions require written and stamped consent from either the Chief Engineer, the Captain, or (in the absence of both) a delegated representative of Command staff.

==Security==
===Warden Authority===
The Warden's authority is limited to the brig and detainees and does not extend to the Security department or its personnel. Additionally, the Warden is not a de facto interim Head of Security in the absence of a Head of Security, unless promoted to that position by command staff.

With sufficient cause, the Warden is authorized to independently issue arrest and search warrants. This authority is subject to command staff review.

===Processing Time===
Personnel detained by Security are expected to be processed in a timely manner. Because a detainee's brig sentence begins after processing is completed, excessive processing times may result in the Warden or handling Security Officers being liable for illegal detention.

===Uniform Regulation===
On-duty security officers and wardens are required to wear the standard uniform provided by their employer or maintain business casual attire in the colours of their corporation. Casual wear, inappropriate footwear, shorts not issued with a uniform and skirts of any kind are not allowed. They must be immediately and easily identifiable as members of security.

On-duty investigative personnel are required to maintain business casual attire, regardless of colour. Casual wear is not permitted. If the personnel is not immediately identifiable as security, a badge must be worn at the hip or on the outer layer of clothing for ease of identification.

Footwear for on-duty security personnel must be business casual or boots and must be closed toe. Unathi and Tajara personnel may wear open toe boots, and Diona personnel are not required to wear footwear.

===Cadetship===
Investigative personnel are not required to complete a cadetship prior to beginning department duties. Any investigative personnel not having completed a cadetship may not perform the detainment of any crew. Those investigative personnel having completed a cadetship must display this within relevant records, and may perform the detainment of crew only where a Security Officer is not available to perform the same.

===Use of Force===
During standard operation, the application of force by Security personnel in response to a given situation should follow the ‘one step above’ concept, wherein the force applied is one level above that of the target. For example, unarmed individuals would call on the use of pepperspray or stun batons. Those equipped with a melee weapon would call on the use of a firearm.

It is expected for all Security personnel, notably the Head of Security, to participate in the determination of what forms of force are applicable in a given situation. However, the determination of adequate use of force shall not impede the security of the vessel and crew.

Failure to utilize adequate use of force will result in i117 - Excessive use of force in detainment.

===Contraband===
Items deemed illegal or unduly hazardous to the vessel and crew are considered contraband. Judgement must be performed by Security Personnel performing searches as to what may classify as contraband. Items may be held for a short period of time for the purpose of identification, after which they must be stored as evidence or released. Failure to identify a held item in a timely manner will result in an i102 - Petty Theft applied to the confiscating personnel.

Contraband must classify within these categories:
*A dangerous item that crew may not possess without appropriate qualifications. I.E. A Hangar Technician possessing a chainsaw.
**Certain emergency items, such as a fireaxe, may be considered contraband during standard procedure when possessed by unqualified personnel, however during emergency situations may not be considered contraband. Appropriate judgement is expected.
*Items that have been constructed for the explicit appearance or use as a weapon.
*Items restricted by Tau Ceti law.
**This includes military-grade equipment, federally controlled pharmaceuticals, so on.
**For all illegal or controlled substances, review Tau Ceti [[Drug Law]].

Items of contraband may be permitted by SCCF-0111 Command Order only if such form has a signature and stamp from appropriate heads of staff. Contraband items may be stored within appropriate department spaces, such as contraband chemicals stored within the pharmacy, or within the warehouse for the purpose of safety.

===Responding===
Upon arriving at the scene, the security officer is expected to gauge the exact nature at the scene.

If the scene is clear:
*Radio in the situation at the scene.
*Ensure the safety of any crew in the immediate vicinity.
*Identify witnesses.
*Secure the scene in the event of occurrences (tape off area/disallow witness to leave).
*Proceed to 'Collecting Evidence'
If the scene is not clear:
*Identify nature of threat.
*If threat is able to be handled by officers on scene: Proceed with mediation/detainment.
*If threat is unable to be handled by officers on scene: Request immediate assistance. Upon requesting assistance, await said assistance before proceeding. Ensure your safety before ensuring the safety of others on scene.

===Collecting Evidence===
*Crime scenes must be sealed off for evidence to be valid. Ensure non-security personnel do not enter the scene. Avoid cordoning off high-traffic areas unless a serious crime (such as murder or mutiny) has been committed. Permission from the relevant head of staff, head of security, or captain should be gained to cordon off high-traffic areas of specific departments.
*If possible, cordoned-off areas should still allow access around it, via maintenance tunnels, less area taped off, or other methods. *Autopsies should be performed within the morgue.
*Disrupt standard vessel operation as little as possible around the crime scene.
*Investigative staff should be requested. Officers on scene are expected to ensure scene security until/during the arrival of/processing of the scene by investigative staff. If no investigative staff is available, officers are expected to secure evidence on scene.
*Witness statements should be taken (either via recorder or on paper) and physical evidence should be secured.

===Handling Evidence===
*Ensure gloves are worn to prevent contamination of evidence.
*Items that can be, must be held in evidence bags for transportation.
*Crime scene must be preserved until all evidence is collected.
*After evidence is collected, cadavers may be removed to the morgue and area may be cleaned up.

===Searches===
During standard operation, all individuals on the vessel are affording protections against unnecessary searches. These protections are waived in the following cases:
*The ship is on [[Guide to Alert Levels|Blue, Red, or Delta alert]].
*A search warrant has been authorized.
*The search is initiated within the two pre-designated checkpoint areas.
*The search is initiated at an improvised checkpoint area with Head of Security or Captain-level approval.

The procedure for initiating a search is as follows:
*The intent to search an individual is announced by an authorized Security Officer, Warden, or Head of Security.
*The authorized search warrant is presented if applicable.
*Select storage spaces on the individual are searched according to type of search:
**Checkpoint searches are limited to jackets, bags, and any containers within those articles.
**All other searches are permitted to search all storage spaces on an individual.
*Outstanding items identified as [[Guide to Contraband|contraband]] must be removed and bagged as evidence.
*All other items are returned to the individual.
*Should detainment be required, follow the procedure on [[#Arrest|arrests]].

===Arrest===
During standard operation, an authorized warrant is required to carry out an arrest. Authorization can be provided from a Captain-level decision, Head of Security, or Warden. The requirement for a warrant prior to arrest is waived in the following cases:
*The ship is on [[Guide to Alert Levels|Blue, Red, or Delta alert]].
*The member of Security directly witnesses the crime.
*It can be reasonably concluded that failure to act will pose an immediate danger to the crew and/or vessel.
Proceed as follows during the event of detainment:
*Announce intention to arrest and charges vocally. Present authorized warrant if applicable.
*Request the suspect surrender peaceably
*If suspect resists, attempt to handcuff. Verbal disagreement or swearing is '''not''' resisting. Verbal threats of violence, damage, or death '''are''' considered resisting arrest.
*If suspects fight back or run, apply needed force to cease flight and detain suspect. A charge of resisting arrest should be applied in this case.
*Remove suspect to brig for processing.
For witnessed major/violent crime:
*Immediately attempt detainment of suspect, with charges read out when suspect is secured.
*Remove suspect to brig for processing.

===Processing===
*Ensure Warden is aware of incoming prisoner.
*Bring prisoner to processing/booking room. Leave secured if violent/repeat offender.
*Check prisoner’s pockets (coat/jumpsuit), pack, and any containers within pack.
*Confiscate any contraband/evidence found. Note: Evidence must have pertinence to the case. If there is no direct correlation, evidence should be returned to person or respective department.
*Inform the prisoners superior of the arrest.
*Proceed to ‘Jailing’.

===Questioning===
*Questioning should be done in the brig. Booking/Processing is to be used for ‘informal’ interviews. Interrogation should be used in the case of more in-depth investigations.
*The Investigative team should get preference in questioning a suspect unless there's a good reason. A standard processing interview for an open and shut case is probably not worth their time, but it's always good to ask.
*If the person is not a suspect, do not handle them as an offender (handcuffing, stunning, or flashing them is not okay).
*Ensure usage of recorder during interrogations; ensure the suspect/prisoner/witness is aware they are being recorded. Ensure the suspect/prisoner/witness states their or has their name/occupation stated at the beginning of an interrogation.
*If person remains uncooperative, make note of this. Seek advice from your Head of Security.

===Jailing===
*Move prisoner to appropriate cell.
*Place personal items the prisoner was deemed able to keep upon release in cell locker.
*Set cell timer to appropriate time and secure cell.
*Remove handcuffs from prisoner’s person within secure cell if able to do so without severe risk to own wellbeing.
*Ensure records are properly updated to reflect prisoner’s crimes/status.

===Autopsies===
*All autopsies should be conducted by investigations within the autopsy room. If no investigators are present, the cadaver should be stored until one arrives.
*More steps outlining autopsies can be found [[Guide to Cadavers | here.]]
*Once the autopsy is completed, if the deceased was an employee aboard the SCCV Horizon, the cadaver should be remanded to medical so that they may carry out any potential [[#Post Mortem Wishes | post-mortem wishes.]]

==Medical==
===Restricted Pharmaceuticals===
The Pharmacy may, at times, require the production or possession of otherwise [[Drug Law|banned chemicals]] within the Republic of Biesel. These chemicals are exempt from contraband regulation if such chemicals are produced for the explicit use in production of medicines, and stored securely within the Pharmacy. These chemicals may be confiscated as contraband should they leave the Pharmacy.

At no time may any banned chemical be produced for purposes other than medicine production. Banned chemicals may not be administered to crew of the vessel. Banned chemicals without use for medicine production may be securely stored within the Pharmacy for safety, such as illegal chemicals distributed from the warehouse.

===Paramedic Helmet===
Paramedics are to use their helmet on the same basis as security: on code blue and above, and in dangerous situations.

===Postmortem Wishes===
It is medical's responsibility to ensure that post-mortem wishes are carried out for any crew who lose their lives aboard the SCCV Horizon. Bodies autopsied by investigations should be remanded to medical for this purpose once the autopsy is completed. Postmortem wishes are expected to be followed to the letter, if at all possible, by the Horizon.

===Medical Treatment Waiver===
Employees that do not wish to be treated, should be provided with the Medical Treatment Waiver form from the request consoles to sign.

===Medical Uniform Regulations===
On-duty medical personnel whose duties include '''direct patient care''' are required to wear the standard uniform provided by their employer or maintain a business attire preferably (but not required) in the colours of their corporation. Footwear must be professional and closed toe, with exception to Unathi medical personnel who may wear open toe shoes and Dionae medical personnel who may wear no footwear.

Casual wear, inappropriate footwear, shorts not issued with a uniform, and skirts of any kind are not allowed. Paramedics are required to be immediately and easily identifiable as Medical personnel.

====Operating Rooms====
For patient safety and infection control, OR's are held to a higher standard. Scrubs or a protective sterile surgical apron completely covering clothing underneath. Full PPE, including masks for employees who breathe and sterile gloves. Remember to wash your hands!

Employees entering for brief periods are only required the use of sterile gloves and masks. These employees may not come into contact with a patient undergoing an operation.

Tajara surgical personnel should be garbed in full body sterile drapes for infection prevention.

Shorts provided by PMCG-issued uniforms may '''NOT''' be used within the Operating Rooms.

Personnel failing to meet these requirements for the medical department are in violation of failing to execute an order.

==AI==
===AI Monitoring===
The AI only has to monitor the following secure areas:
*Armory
*SAT (The big nuke room)
*Telecommunications
*The Vault
*Command areas (Bridge, head of staff offices, etc.)
*Secure Storage
*Research Storage
*Research Server Room
*Engine Room (Supermatter specifically, INDRA if it is running)
*AI Core and AI Upload

===Access to the AI===
In order to access the AI upload or the AI core a Captain-level decision is required. All command staff must be informed of the decision.

The AI may have its laws altered or reset via a Captain-level decision. This action may be performed by an Operations Manager, qualified Head of Staff, or a Machinist under Command supervision.

Standard Operating Procedure

2026-07-03T21:27:54Z

William Murdoch: /* Security */ Contraband SOP

{{Reference}}
{{IC_Laws}}

All Stellar Corporate Conglomerate vessels share a set of standard procedures that are to be followed. These guide the different departments on board the vessel, outline certain points and clear up some issues that may arise.

==General==
===Departmental Ranking===
<small>''See more: [[Chain of Command]]''</small>

Unless stated otherwise, all Departmental Staff are equal in rank, with differing responsibilities and assignments. The exceptions are departmental assistants/interns/apprentices, and standard assistants.

It is within the capacity of the Departmental Head of Staff to promote and designate senior leaders as they see fit, within their own department.

===Alert Levels===
The alert system is a standardized system of five colors which correspond to the status of the vessel. These levels may alter procedure and regulations to better assist departments in addressing non-standard situations.

Alert levels may be altered by Command and Command-support personnel as needed. A change in alert level must be made in tandem with an announcement appraising the crew of the reasoning for change in alert level, as well as any advisories necessary for safety.

====Green Alert====
Green alert indicates standard operations without any non-standard danger or elevated privileges. All regulations and procedures shall be enforced. Security personnel may not openly brandish weaponry, or wear armor plating on the arms, legs, or head except for in situations that may require temporary additional protections.

====Yellow Alert====
Yellow Alert indicates any non-standard operational state that presents a biological threat to the vessel. During Yellow alert status, all personnel shall assist in addressing the situation as necessary.

Command personnel may permit privileges to any department as necessary to address the situation. These privileges must be reasonable for the situation at hand, subject to review after the conclusion of a Yellow alert. All privileges permitted to a department during Yellow alert must be announced to the vessel.

====Blue Alert====
Blue alert indicates a high potential or unknown danger to the vessel. Elevation to Blue alert shall only be performed should the situation at hand not be sufficiently contained through standard procedures. All departments shall assist in the addressing of potential threats to the vessel to ensure a swift return to standard operations. Regulations and Standard Operation Procedures shall still apply as standard, however additional privileges are permitted to assist in non-standard operations.

Security personnel are permitted to wear arm and leg guards, as well as openly-carry weaponry. Random and locational searches are permitted with probable cause. Heads of Staff may refuse a locational search if it is within their department, a command-restricted location, or high-value storage.

The camera-network, vital sensors, and maintenance system access restrictions are lowered. However, abuse of these systems may result in punitive action where deemed necessary by on-duty Security personnel.

====Red Alert====
Red alert indicates a confirmed and immediate threat to the vessel, requiring all on-duty personnel to assist in the resolution of the situation. Elevation to Red alert requires a Captain-level decision, as well as the presence of two command personnel capable of swiping for alert level elevation at a keycard authentication terminal present within all Command offices. Elevation to Red alert necessitates a situation report to Central Command at the earliest reasonable time.

Standard Operating Procedures and Regulations may be disregarded as necessary by Command personnel to appropriately address any threats to the vessel, subject to review as necessary following the conclusion of a Red alert.

To assist in operations, all personnel are required to utilize Tau Ceti Basic on all radio channels, as well as the setting of suit sensors to maximum.

====Delta Alert====
<small>''See more: [[#Evacuation and Emergency Bluespace Jumps|Evacuation and Emergency Bluespace Jumps]]''</small>

Delta alert indicates a situation in which the vessel may not be recovered. Due to sensitive equipment and data on-board the vessel, in inability to contain a given situation, the vessel will undergo scuttling operations. At this time, all personnel must evacuate the vessel. Command and Security personnel are permitted any action necessary to ensure the swift evacuation of the vessel. All Standard Procedures and Regulations may be disregarded.

===External Partners===
Approved External Business Partners ("Merchants") with a SCC merchant pass possess docking authorization from Central Command and are permitted to dock and conduct business with the vessel. Merchants are expected to comply with all vessel regulations and rules set by Command Staff while aboard the ship. A merchant has direct authority over their own vessel and may choose to provide or deny their services as they see fit. Merchants are authorized to carry a concealed weapon for purposes of personal defense while aboard the vessel, unless explicitly prohibited by Command Staff. Employees who purchase items from a merchant take full responsibility for the possession and legality of these purchases. The Security Department is neither responsible for nor authorized to confiscate wares aboard a merchant's vessel and may not charge or detain a merchant for the possession of wares that remain aboard that vessel. The Security Department may not enforce regulations aboard a docked merchant vessel, except for issues that arise between Stellar Corporate Conglomerate employees, or to neutralize an immediate hostile and violent threat to the vessel.

===Off-Duty Crew===
Off-duty crewmembers and passengers on the working decks are not contracted to work or otherwise assume the role of any of the actively employed crew. Even if they work for the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate, promotion of off-duty crew or passengers to vessel ranks, except in the direst of circumstances, will be regarded as neglect of duty and/or exceeding official powers. During these circumstances, volunteers will not be compensated in any fashion by the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate and will not be insured against any injuries they sustain. Without exception, off-duty crewmembers and passengers are not permitted to be promoted to command ranks.

===Press===
Visiting and subcontracting ("freelance") journalists are not to be censored via a news channel D-Notice, unless a Captain-level decision determines that the content they publish directly endangers the safety of Stellar Corporate Conglomerate employees. Command Staff choosing to apply a D-Notice in this manner are expected to immediately contact Central Command to report that it has been applied. The creator of the channel is also to be made aware of both the notice and the reasoning for its implementation.

Journalists directly employed by the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate voluntarily waive these protections, as per the terms of their employment contract.

===Non-Structural Alterations===
Non-structural or cosmetic remodeling of a department may be performed by any staff with written and signed consent of the department in question. Cosmetic alteration to general areas, such as hallways, arrivals, and departures, require consent from the Chief Engineer, The Captain, or (in the absence of both) Command as a whole.

===Uniforms===
All on-duty personnel must wear appropriate attire such that the upper '''and''' lower body are adequately covered. Undergarments such as bras do not suffice, however clothing such as tank tops are sufficient. Failure to do so will result in i105 - Indecent Exposure.

Exceptions are granted to vaurcesian employees and '''non-shell''' IPCs not within the security, medical, or command departments, who may wear gear harnesses without further clothing.

Additionally, appropriate PPE must be utilized where necessary. Examples include the use of insulated gloves when modifying electrical equipment, or hard hats when modifying the ship hull.

===Shuttle Use===
<small>'See more: [[Guide to Piloting]]''</small>

The SCCV Horizon's shuttles may be used at any time by designated qualified personnel for the purpose of mining and exploration. Their flight activities may only be grounded by instating a flight ban, which may be established during Code Red security situations, orders from SCC Central Command, Operations Manager, or an Executive Officer.

The mining shuttle is allowed a degree of autonomy and does not require clearance to depart the SCCV Horizon for the purpose of mining operations unless a flight ban is in place. The shuttle is under the oversight of the Operations Manager, who retains the authority to ground or recall the shuttle at their discretion. The Canary is under the oversight of the Executive Officer but may be utilized by all of Command in necessary situations.

The SCCV Horizon bridge must accommodate prospecting and exploration missions before plotting course to a different location.

===Shuttle Pre-Flight Safety Checks===
During standard operation, it is necessary to ensure all airlocks are properly sealed prior to take-off in any shuttle. These checks should be performed by a [[Hangar Technician]] if present, otherwise the pilot of the shuttle craft may perform the check. Failure to do so will be considered i206 - Neglect of Duty or, should damages occur, i221 - Gross Negligence.

Proper pre-flight safety checks must include a visual sweep of the surrounding area to ensure it is free of hazards and personnel. Following this, a visual check of all airlocks must be performed. If an airlock is '''overridden''', force either set of doors closed, or if additional systems are available to seal the atmosphere of the shuttle, such as airtight shutters, they should be enabled and confirmed to be active. After the surrounding area, airlocks, and additional systems have been visually checked, the inspecting crew member must announce that the shuttle is cleared for flight if they are not the pilot of the shuttle.

===Horizon Weapons Systems===
The SCCV Horizon has been equipped with two main weapons systems in order to safeguard its assets, personnel, and mission. Its use and operation are an expectation during emergencies.

Bridge crew and Operations personnel are expected to follow command team orders on usage of the many systems aboard. In the absence of command, bridge crewmen are expected to operate the weaponry with discretion.

Weaponry should only be fired as a last resort, and all SCC personnel should consider the implications such actions may have on both the region and the greater Chainlink as a whole.

The Canary's weaponry may be used by the team lead on its away mission without command approval, but its use will be reviewed upon return to the Horizon. Misuse of any of the weapon systems are grounds for immediate termination.

===Salvage Operations===
During standard operation, the Horizon may come across abandoned or wrecked vessels. Due to various contracts secured between the SCC and governments of visited regions, these vessels may be salvaged by crew under the following conditions:

*The site is not inhabited or occupied.
*No local laws prohibit the salvage of that site.
*No other organization has previously claimed the site.
*No other department has claimed the site for other activities. Examples include:
**Archaeological exploration by the Science Department.
**Structural repair ordered by the Chief Engineer.
**Quarantine declared by the Chief Medical Officer.

Unless otherwise agreed upon with other organizations prior to a salvaging operation, such as Central Command or external partners, all equipment and materials salvaged from a site may be stored and used at the discretion of the Horizon.

==Command==
===Prohibited Imagery===
The following list contains all organizations containing prohibited imagery and symbology. Any items displaying the imagery or symbology of an organization contained on this list may not, under any circumstances, be displayed by Command or Bridge personnel.

*Emblems of [[Human Wildlands|"warlord states"]], including the '''Solarian Restoration Front''', '''the League of Independent Corporate-Free Systems''', '''the Free Solarian Fleets''', '''the Southern Solarian Military District''', and the '''Southern Fleet Administration'''; or
*Emblems of anti-corporate organizations such as the '''[[Himeo|United Syndicates of Himeo]]''', '''[[Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai|Adhomian Liberation Army]]''', the '''[[Mictlan|"Founding Movement", or the "Samaritans"]]'''; or
*Emblems of the group '''[[Unathi_Crime_And_Enforcement#The_Champions_of_Moghes|"Champion of Moghes"]]'''.

===Uniform Regulations===
All Command and Bridge personnel must wear appropriate business or business casual clothing. Personnel may not dress in a manner that may lead to the misidentification as a member of their originating corporation or nation-state. All prohibited imagery or symbology may not be worn under any circumstances.

===Acting Captain===
Should the Command staff be missing a captain, it is preferred that all members of the Command staff present act as a singular commanding entity, thus negating the need to promote a specific person to the position of Acting Captain. Under such operations, the Command Staff carries the authority of the captain and can conduct actions that would otherwise require the captain's approval. These actions require a Command vote to enact a captain-level decision. Command votes to enact a captain-level decision may '''not''' occur if a captain is present.

All Heads of Staff can initiate a Command vote. This vote is considered a captain-level decision and thus carries the authority of the captain. A Command vote begins with one or more Heads of Staff declaring what the vote intends to do over the command radio. All Heads of Staff are expected to participate and vote yes, no, or verbally abstain (abstaining through inaction is not permitted). All command votes are majority-rules unless stated otherwise. In the event the command vote ends in a tie, the vote automatically fails. Any votes taken against another Head of Staff will see the implicated party automatically abstained from voting. Additionally, Command staff who have been formally detained under orders of the Head of Security will be unable to vote until they have been released and allowed to reassume their previous position.

During non-standard operation, the Command staff may vote to appoint an Acting Captain among the Command staff. This is a standard Command-level vote only requiring a majority in favor. In the event a Head of Staff is elevated to Captainship, Central Command should be informed immediately as the situation allows. Once standard operation is resumed, and any non-standard situations have been resolved, the Acting Captain must resign captainship and reassume their previous position.

===Captain Authority===
The vessel's assigned Captain has full authority over the operation of the vessel and the attached shuttles. They are authorized to shut down departments at their discretion, reassign crew members, issue direct orders to all crew members of the ship, and take actions within reason that may violate regulations in non-standard situations.

The captain is trusted to act in the best interests of the company, crew, and vessel they are assigned to. Any complaints or concerns over the captain's decisions should be addressed after their orders have been carried out, and after the situation that prompted those orders has been resolved.

===Command Staff===
During standard operation, all Departmental Heads of Staff are equal under the command of the captain present onboard the vessel. Should a department find itself lacking a Head of Staff, the Captain is able to either assume direct supervision of the department or otherwise appoint a senior crew member to fill the missing role through the procedure for [[#Interim Command Staff|Interim Heads of Staff]].

During non-standard operation, a specific Departmental Head of Staff may be elevated above others, should the crisis situation fall under the responsibility of their department. At that point, other departments should act in a supporting role.

===Interim Command Staff===
<small>''See more: [[Chain_of_Command#Interim_Heads_of_Staff|Chain of Command]]''</small>

During standard operation, departments lacking a Head of Staff may have a senior crew member elevated into an Interim Head of Staff position by the Captain, Acting Captain, or Executive Officer. They inherit equal responsibility and power to a normal Head of Staff, with the exception of votes of no confidence to which an Interim Head of Staff may not start or participate in. During the selection of an Interim Head of Staff, considerations for SCC standards should be applied, regardless of whether it may exclude potential options for Interim. In the event of a crew member being elevated into an interim position, a promotion form should be completed.

During non-standard operation, restrictions and considerations on an Interim Head of Staff may be ignored, with exception of vaurcesian employees who may not be elevated under any circumstance. However, all Interim Heads of Staff that do not otherwise fit SCC standards must be demoted to their standard position immediately following the conclusion of non-standard operations.

===Command on Leaving the Vessel===
Should, during standard or non-standard operation, the need for one or more Command staff to leave the SCCV Horizon arise, it is possible for them to do so if and only if there is at least one other Command staff remaining on the ship after their departure. If any command vote is called while there are Command staff away from the ship, their vote is still required, and their return should be awaited. This section may be overridden by a captain if required.

===Corporate Liaisons and Consular Officers===
Command staff are expected to engage representatives (both corporate and diplomatic) through diplomacy and to consent to reasonable requests. The representative is not part of the vessel chain of command. The representative is granted special status in relation to corporate regulations:
*The representative does not serve brig time for low level infractions; the fine alternative can be used in those cases.
*The representative can serve brig time for medium and high-level infractions, with command staff being able to contact Central Command requesting the revocation of the representative's privileges.
*The representative's office offers immunity to the representative. Security may not enter to conduct arrests under normal circumstances. Entering or refusing to exit the office is considered trespassing.
*The office's immunity may be revoked by the captain or a captain level decision.
*Security is only able to conduct an arrest inside the representative's if the office's immunity was revoked or if there is clear evidence that a medium or high-level infraction is happening inside the office.

===Departmental Funds===
Through the combined budgets of the SCC Chainlink, departmental funds have been granted to the use of each department. Command members are encouraged to make use of this allotment as needed for day to day needs to ensure smooth operation. Heads of Staff are encouraged to utilize these funds to acquire materials, equipment, or other general supplies.

Additionally, Command Members may authorize small bonuses to crew members for exceptional situations up to 1000 credits or incentive bonuses up to 500 credits. Bonuses should be documented on general faxes and sent to Central explaining the situation, employee, and amount.

===Evacuation and Emergency Bluespace Jumps===
During extreme non-standard operation, evacuation or emergency bluespace jump orders may be used when the Horizon is placed in a situation that threatens the destruction of the vessel or her crew. Emergency bluespace jumps are the preferred order, with evacuations remaining a last resort that may coincide with [[#Delta Alert|Delta Alert]].

An evacuation or emergency bluespace jump order may only be enacted by a captain or '''unanimous''' Command-level vote. Central Command '''must''' be notified of the order along with a brief reasoning before the order has been completed. In the event of an evacuation, all sensitive information, materials, and equipment must either be destroyed or secured with the evacuating crew.

===Incident Management===
During non-standard operation, it is expected for departments to assist in the safe resolution of said incident and the recovery of standard operations. When it becomes clear that a significant incident is arising that could affect standard operations of the vessel or cause significant damage to crew or property, it is expected that (when possible) all on board personnel are provided with the following information:
*A brief description of the current incident.
*What steps have been taken so far to combat this incident.
*Suggested action for the crew to take.
*(If applicable) A brief description of the reasoning behind a change in alert level.

Exceptions to this include where the above information would compromise vessel security or safety. If this is the case it is expected that as much information as is safe to do so is dispensed for the crew.

===Faxes===
<small>''See more: [[Guide to Faxes]]''</small>

Command and Command-support personnel may be required, from time to time, to fax an external organization. These communications must follow given standards as necessary for the correct routing and swift processing of communications.

All Command personnel are permitted to seek guidance from Central Command as necessary during vessel operations. However, at no point may any personnel halt, delay, or otherwise disrupt operations pending return communication from Central Command.

====Internal Routed Faxes====
All communications routing within the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate network, including Central Command or affiliate-corporations, shall use internal SCC routing. These communications must utilize standardized forms appropriate for a given communication. All fields, with exception of index, must be filled. Tau Ceti Basic is to be utilized except for signatures. Stamps, where necessary, must be provided. Failure to abide by these guidelines may result in the misrouting or rejection of a sent communication. The following is a guideline for standard fax forms:

*General Fax: To be utilized for standard, non-urgent communications. This is the standard form for non-critical updates, personnel alterations such as suspensions, budget use for bonuses, and other miscellaneous communications.

*Situation Report: To be utilized for high-urgency, immediate-attention communication with Central Command. This is the standard form for all non-standard situation reports.

*Secondary Forms: Secondary forms (such as security reports, forensics reports, medical reports, or any other document) that are to be sent to Central Command should be attached to any of the above as required, and not sent on their own.

====External Routed Faxes====
All communications routed to non-SCC entities, such as a government or an independent organization. These communications have no standard guidelines, and as such may be performed as necessary.

==Science==
===Scientific Experimentation===
Approved science experiments being performed by or with oversight from qualified researchers must be performed in a way that does not unnecessarily risk crew or vessel unless otherwise authorized by the [[Research Director]] or [[Captain]]. All sentient test subjects involved in the experiment must sign a SFFC-0501 Personal Release prior to the experiment. All items classified as contraband may be utilized within an approved experiment, however may not leave the production or testing environment, and must be stored properly after the experiment concludes. Failure to adhere to this procedure may result in an i221 - Gross Negligence.

===Slimes Experiments & Non-sapient Xenological Lifeforms===
Slimes, non-sapient xenoforms, and the subjects of transformative xenobiological experiments are not classified as crew, members of humanity or affiliated alien races, but as test subjects and property of the SCC. Performing transformative xenobiological experiments on a co-worker is considered homicide and is punishable by corporate regulations and by law.

==Operations==
===Warehouse Contents===
The operations department is expected to store and distribute warehouse supplies to the vessel's departments as deemed appropriate. The stock of the vessels warehouse is not to be regarded as contraband if it remains in the warehouse or is being transported to an appropriate destination.

==Engineering==
===Vessel Modifications===
All non-structural forms of modification, optimization, or upgrades to vessel equipment are permitted so long as the modifying engineer is qualified and has obtained written permission of all staff resident to the department in question. Large-scale structural modifications or additions require written and stamped consent from either the Chief Engineer, the Captain, or (in the absence of both) a delegated representative of Command staff.

==Security==
===Warden Authority===
The Warden's authority is limited to the brig and detainees and does not extend to the Security department or its personnel. Additionally, the Warden is not a de facto interim Head of Security in the absence of a Head of Security, unless promoted to that position by command staff.

With sufficient cause, the Warden is authorized to independently issue arrest and search warrants. This authority is subject to command staff review.

===Processing Time===
Personnel detained by Security are expected to be processed in a timely manner. Because a detainee's brig sentence begins after processing is completed, excessive processing times may result in the Warden or handling Security Officers being liable for illegal detention.

===Uniform Regulation===
On-duty security officers and wardens are required to wear the standard uniform provided by their employer or maintain business casual attire in the colours of their corporation. Casual wear, inappropriate footwear, shorts not issued with a uniform and skirts of any kind are not allowed. They must be immediately and easily identifiable as members of security.

On-duty investigative personnel are required to maintain business casual attire, regardless of colour. Casual wear is not permitted. If the personnel is not immediately identifiable as security, a badge must be worn at the hip or on the outer layer of clothing for ease of identification.

Footwear for on-duty security personnel must be business casual or boots and must be closed toe. Unathi and Tajara personnel may wear open toe boots, and Diona personnel are not required to wear footwear.

===Cadetship===
Investigative personnel are not required to complete a cadetship prior to beginning department duties. Any investigative personnel not having completed a cadetship may not perform the detainment of any crew. Those investigative personnel having completed a cadetship must display this within relevant records, and may perform the detainment of crew only where a Security Officer is not available to perform the same.

===Use of Force===
During standard operation, the application of force by Security personnel in response to a given situation should follow the ‘one step above’ concept, wherein the force applied is one level above that of the target. For example, unarmed individuals would call on the use of pepperspray or stun batons. Those equipped with a melee weapon would call on the use of a firearm.

It is expected for all Security personnel, notably the Head of Security, to participate in the determination of what forms of force are applicable in a given situation. However, the determination of adequate use of force shall not impede the security of the vessel and crew.

Failure to utilize adequate use of force will result in i117 - Excessive use of force in detainment.

===Contraband===
Items deemed illegal or unduly hazardous to the vessel and crew are considered contraband. Judgement must be performed by Security Personnel performing searches as to what may classify as contraband. Items may be held for a short period of time for the purpose of identification, after which they must be stored as evidence or released. Failure to identify a held item in a timely manner will result in an i102 - Petty Theft applied to the confiscating personnel.

Contraband must classify within these categories:
*A dangerous item that crew may not possess without appropriate qualifications. I.E. A Hangar Technician possessing a chainsaw.
**Certain emergency items, such as a fireaxe, may be considered contraband during standard procedure when possessed by unqualified personnel, however during emergency situations may not be considered contraband. Appropriate judgement is expected.
*Items that have been constructed for the explicit appearance or use as a weapon.
*Items restricted by Tau Ceti law.
**This includes military-grade equipment, federally controlled pharmaceuticals, so on.
**For all illegal or controlled substances, review Tau Ceti [[Drug Law]].

Items of contraband may be permitted by SCCF-0111 Command Order only if such form has a signature and stamp from appropriate heads of staff. Contraband items may be stored within appropriate department spaces, such as contraband chemicals stored within the pharmacy, or within the warehouse for the purpose of safety.

===Responding===
Upon arriving at the scene, the security officer is expected to gauge the exact nature at the scene.

If the scene is clear:
*Radio in the situation at the scene.
*Ensure the safety of any crew in the immediate vicinity.
*Identify witnesses.
*Secure the scene in the event of occurrences (tape off area/disallow witness to leave).
*Proceed to 'Collecting Evidence'
If the scene is not clear:
*Identify nature of threat.
*If threat is able to be handled by officers on scene: Proceed with mediation/detainment.
*If threat is unable to be handled by officers on scene: Request immediate assistance. Upon requesting assistance, await said assistance before proceeding. Ensure your safety before ensuring the safety of others on scene.

===Collecting Evidence===
*Crime scenes must be sealed off for evidence to be valid. Ensure non-security personnel do not enter the scene. Avoid cordoning off high-traffic areas unless a serious crime (such as murder or mutiny) has been committed. Permission from the relevant head of staff, head of security, or captain should be gained to cordon off high-traffic areas of specific departments.
*If possible, cordoned-off areas should still allow access around it, via maintenance tunnels, less area taped off, or other methods. *Autopsies should be performed within the morgue.
*Disrupt standard vessel operation as little as possible around the crime scene.
*Investigative staff should be requested. Officers on scene are expected to ensure scene security until/during the arrival of/processing of the scene by investigative staff. If no investigative staff is available, officers are expected to secure evidence on scene.
*Witness statements should be taken (either via recorder or on paper) and physical evidence should be secured.

===Handling Evidence===
*Ensure gloves are worn to prevent contamination of evidence.
*Items that can be, must be held in evidence bags for transportation.
*Crime scene must be preserved until all evidence is collected.
*After evidence is collected, cadavers may be removed to the morgue and area may be cleaned up.

===Searches===
During standard operation, all individuals on the vessel are affording protections against unnecessary searches. These protections are waived in the following cases:
*The ship is on [[Guide to Alert Levels|Blue, Red, or Delta alert]].
*A search warrant has been authorized.
*The search is initiated within the two pre-designated checkpoint areas.
*The search is initiated at an improvised checkpoint area with Head of Security or Captain-level approval.

The procedure for initiating a search is as follows:
*The intent to search an individual is announced by an authorized Security Officer, Warden, or Head of Security.
*The authorized search warrant is presented if applicable.
*Select storage spaces on the individual are searched according to type of search:
**Checkpoint searches are limited to jackets, bags, and any containers within those articles.
**All other searches are permitted to search all storage spaces on an individual.
*Outstanding items identified as [[Guide to Contraband|contraband]] must be removed and bagged as evidence.
*All other items are returned to the individual.
*Should detainment be required, follow the procedure on [[#Arrest|arrests]].

===Arrest===
During standard operation, an authorized warrant is required to carry out an arrest. Authorization can be provided from a Captain-level decision, Head of Security, or Warden. The requirement for a warrant prior to arrest is waived in the following cases:
*The ship is on [[Guide to Alert Levels|Blue, Red, or Delta alert]].
*The member of Security directly witnesses the crime.
*It can be reasonably concluded that failure to act will pose an immediate danger to the crew and/or vessel.
Proceed as follows during the event of detainment:
*Announce intention to arrest and charges vocally. Present authorized warrant if applicable.
*Request the suspect surrender peaceably
*If suspect resists, attempt to handcuff. Verbal disagreement or swearing is '''not''' resisting. Verbal threats of violence, damage, or death '''are''' considered resisting arrest.
*If suspects fight back or run, apply needed force to cease flight and detain suspect. A charge of resisting arrest should be applied in this case.
*Remove suspect to brig for processing.
For witnessed major/violent crime:
*Immediately attempt detainment of suspect, with charges read out when suspect is secured.
*Remove suspect to brig for processing.

===Processing===
*Ensure Warden is aware of incoming prisoner.
*Bring prisoner to processing/booking room. Leave secured if violent/repeat offender.
*Check prisoner’s pockets (coat/jumpsuit), pack, and any containers within pack.
*Confiscate any contraband/evidence found. Note: Evidence must have pertinence to the case. If there is no direct correlation, evidence should be returned to person or respective department.
*Inform the prisoners superior of the arrest.
*Proceed to ‘Jailing’.

===Questioning===
*Questioning should be done in the brig. Booking/Processing is to be used for ‘informal’ interviews. Interrogation should be used in the case of more in-depth investigations.
*The Investigative team should get preference in questioning a suspect unless there's a good reason. A standard processing interview for an open and shut case is probably not worth their time, but it's always good to ask.
*If the person is not a suspect, do not handle them as an offender (handcuffing, stunning, or flashing them is not okay).
*Ensure usage of recorder during interrogations; ensure the suspect/prisoner/witness is aware they are being recorded. Ensure the suspect/prisoner/witness states their or has their name/occupation stated at the beginning of an interrogation.
*If person remains uncooperative, make note of this. Seek advice from your Head of Security.

===Jailing===
*Move prisoner to appropriate cell.
*Place personal items the prisoner was deemed able to keep upon release in cell locker.
*Set cell timer to appropriate time and secure cell.
*Remove handcuffs from prisoner’s person within secure cell if able to do so without severe risk to own wellbeing.
*Ensure records are properly updated to reflect prisoner’s crimes/status.

===Autopsies===
*All autopsies should be conducted by investigations within the autopsy room. If no investigators are present, the cadaver should be stored until one arrives.
*More steps outlining autopsies can be found [[Guide to Cadavers | here.]]
*Once the autopsy is completed, if the deceased was an employee aboard the SCCV Horizon, the cadaver should be remanded to medical so that they may carry out any potential [[#Post Mortem Wishes | post-mortem wishes.]]

==Medical==
===Do not Borgify ===
Personnel with a Do Not Borgify order are NOT to be borgified. Failure to heed these orders is considered malpractice by law and will be treated as such.

===Paramedic Helmet===
Paramedics are to use their helmet on the same basis as security: on code blue and above, and in dangerous situations.

===Postmortem Wishes===
It is medical's responsibility to ensure that post-mortem wishes are carried out for any crew who lose their lives aboard the SCCV Horizon. Bodies autopsied by investigations should be remanded to medical for this purpose once the autopsy is completed. Postmortem wishes are expected to be followed to the letter, if at all possible, by the Horizon.

===Medical Treatment Waiver===
Employees that do not wish to be treated, should be provided with the Medical Treatment Waiver form from the request consoles to sign.

===Medical Uniform Regulations===
On-duty medical personnel whose duties include '''direct patient care''' are required to wear the standard uniform provided by their employer or maintain a business attire preferably (but not required) in the colours of their corporation. Footwear must be professional and closed toe, with exception to Unathi medical personnel who may wear open toe shoes and Dionae medical personnel who may wear no footwear.

Casual wear, inappropriate footwear, shorts not issued with a uniform, and skirts of any kind are not allowed. Paramedics are required to be immediately and easily identifiable as Medical personnel.

====Operating Rooms====
For patient safety and infection control, OR's are held to a higher standard. Scrubs or a protective sterile surgical apron completely covering clothing underneath. Full PPE, including masks for employees who breathe and sterile gloves. Remember to wash your hands!

Employees entering for brief periods are only required the use of sterile gloves and masks. These employees may not come into contact with a patient undergoing an operation.

Tajara surgical personnel should be garbed in full body sterile drapes for infection prevention.

Shorts provided by PMCG-issued uniforms may '''NOT''' be used within the Operating Rooms.

Personnel failing to meet these requirements for the medical department are in violation of failing to execute an order.

==AI==
===AI Monitoring===
The AI only has to monitor the following secure areas:
*Armory
*SAT (The big nuke room)
*Telecommunications
*The Vault
*Command areas (Bridge, head of staff offices, etc.)
*Secure Storage
*Research Storage
*Research Server Room
*Engine Room (Supermatter specifically, INDRA if it is running)
*AI Core and AI Upload

===Access to the AI===
In order to access the AI upload or the AI core a Captain-level decision is required. All command staff must be informed of the decision.

The AI may have its laws altered or reset via a Captain-level decision. This action may be performed by an Operations Manager, qualified Head of Staff, or a Machinist under Command supervision.

Standard Operating Procedure

2026-07-03T21:26:50Z

William Murdoch: /* Science */ Update to SOP

{{Reference}}
{{IC_Laws}}

All Stellar Corporate Conglomerate vessels share a set of standard procedures that are to be followed. These guide the different departments on board the vessel, outline certain points and clear up some issues that may arise.

==General==
===Departmental Ranking===
<small>''See more: [[Chain of Command]]''</small>

Unless stated otherwise, all Departmental Staff are equal in rank, with differing responsibilities and assignments. The exceptions are departmental assistants/interns/apprentices, and standard assistants.

It is within the capacity of the Departmental Head of Staff to promote and designate senior leaders as they see fit, within their own department.

===Alert Levels===
The alert system is a standardized system of five colors which correspond to the status of the vessel. These levels may alter procedure and regulations to better assist departments in addressing non-standard situations.

Alert levels may be altered by Command and Command-support personnel as needed. A change in alert level must be made in tandem with an announcement appraising the crew of the reasoning for change in alert level, as well as any advisories necessary for safety.

====Green Alert====
Green alert indicates standard operations without any non-standard danger or elevated privileges. All regulations and procedures shall be enforced. Security personnel may not openly brandish weaponry, or wear armor plating on the arms, legs, or head except for in situations that may require temporary additional protections.

====Yellow Alert====
Yellow Alert indicates any non-standard operational state that presents a biological threat to the vessel. During Yellow alert status, all personnel shall assist in addressing the situation as necessary.

Command personnel may permit privileges to any department as necessary to address the situation. These privileges must be reasonable for the situation at hand, subject to review after the conclusion of a Yellow alert. All privileges permitted to a department during Yellow alert must be announced to the vessel.

====Blue Alert====
Blue alert indicates a high potential or unknown danger to the vessel. Elevation to Blue alert shall only be performed should the situation at hand not be sufficiently contained through standard procedures. All departments shall assist in the addressing of potential threats to the vessel to ensure a swift return to standard operations. Regulations and Standard Operation Procedures shall still apply as standard, however additional privileges are permitted to assist in non-standard operations.

Security personnel are permitted to wear arm and leg guards, as well as openly-carry weaponry. Random and locational searches are permitted with probable cause. Heads of Staff may refuse a locational search if it is within their department, a command-restricted location, or high-value storage.

The camera-network, vital sensors, and maintenance system access restrictions are lowered. However, abuse of these systems may result in punitive action where deemed necessary by on-duty Security personnel.

====Red Alert====
Red alert indicates a confirmed and immediate threat to the vessel, requiring all on-duty personnel to assist in the resolution of the situation. Elevation to Red alert requires a Captain-level decision, as well as the presence of two command personnel capable of swiping for alert level elevation at a keycard authentication terminal present within all Command offices. Elevation to Red alert necessitates a situation report to Central Command at the earliest reasonable time.

Standard Operating Procedures and Regulations may be disregarded as necessary by Command personnel to appropriately address any threats to the vessel, subject to review as necessary following the conclusion of a Red alert.

To assist in operations, all personnel are required to utilize Tau Ceti Basic on all radio channels, as well as the setting of suit sensors to maximum.

====Delta Alert====
<small>''See more: [[#Evacuation and Emergency Bluespace Jumps|Evacuation and Emergency Bluespace Jumps]]''</small>

Delta alert indicates a situation in which the vessel may not be recovered. Due to sensitive equipment and data on-board the vessel, in inability to contain a given situation, the vessel will undergo scuttling operations. At this time, all personnel must evacuate the vessel. Command and Security personnel are permitted any action necessary to ensure the swift evacuation of the vessel. All Standard Procedures and Regulations may be disregarded.

===External Partners===
Approved External Business Partners ("Merchants") with a SCC merchant pass possess docking authorization from Central Command and are permitted to dock and conduct business with the vessel. Merchants are expected to comply with all vessel regulations and rules set by Command Staff while aboard the ship. A merchant has direct authority over their own vessel and may choose to provide or deny their services as they see fit. Merchants are authorized to carry a concealed weapon for purposes of personal defense while aboard the vessel, unless explicitly prohibited by Command Staff. Employees who purchase items from a merchant take full responsibility for the possession and legality of these purchases. The Security Department is neither responsible for nor authorized to confiscate wares aboard a merchant's vessel and may not charge or detain a merchant for the possession of wares that remain aboard that vessel. The Security Department may not enforce regulations aboard a docked merchant vessel, except for issues that arise between Stellar Corporate Conglomerate employees, or to neutralize an immediate hostile and violent threat to the vessel.

===Off-Duty Crew===
Off-duty crewmembers and passengers on the working decks are not contracted to work or otherwise assume the role of any of the actively employed crew. Even if they work for the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate, promotion of off-duty crew or passengers to vessel ranks, except in the direst of circumstances, will be regarded as neglect of duty and/or exceeding official powers. During these circumstances, volunteers will not be compensated in any fashion by the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate and will not be insured against any injuries they sustain. Without exception, off-duty crewmembers and passengers are not permitted to be promoted to command ranks.

===Press===
Visiting and subcontracting ("freelance") journalists are not to be censored via a news channel D-Notice, unless a Captain-level decision determines that the content they publish directly endangers the safety of Stellar Corporate Conglomerate employees. Command Staff choosing to apply a D-Notice in this manner are expected to immediately contact Central Command to report that it has been applied. The creator of the channel is also to be made aware of both the notice and the reasoning for its implementation.

Journalists directly employed by the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate voluntarily waive these protections, as per the terms of their employment contract.

===Non-Structural Alterations===
Non-structural or cosmetic remodeling of a department may be performed by any staff with written and signed consent of the department in question. Cosmetic alteration to general areas, such as hallways, arrivals, and departures, require consent from the Chief Engineer, The Captain, or (in the absence of both) Command as a whole.

===Uniforms===
All on-duty personnel must wear appropriate attire such that the upper '''and''' lower body are adequately covered. Undergarments such as bras do not suffice, however clothing such as tank tops are sufficient. Failure to do so will result in i105 - Indecent Exposure.

Exceptions are granted to vaurcesian employees and '''non-shell''' IPCs not within the security, medical, or command departments, who may wear gear harnesses without further clothing.

Additionally, appropriate PPE must be utilized where necessary. Examples include the use of insulated gloves when modifying electrical equipment, or hard hats when modifying the ship hull.

===Shuttle Use===
<small>'See more: [[Guide to Piloting]]''</small>

The SCCV Horizon's shuttles may be used at any time by designated qualified personnel for the purpose of mining and exploration. Their flight activities may only be grounded by instating a flight ban, which may be established during Code Red security situations, orders from SCC Central Command, Operations Manager, or an Executive Officer.

The mining shuttle is allowed a degree of autonomy and does not require clearance to depart the SCCV Horizon for the purpose of mining operations unless a flight ban is in place. The shuttle is under the oversight of the Operations Manager, who retains the authority to ground or recall the shuttle at their discretion. The Canary is under the oversight of the Executive Officer but may be utilized by all of Command in necessary situations.

The SCCV Horizon bridge must accommodate prospecting and exploration missions before plotting course to a different location.

===Shuttle Pre-Flight Safety Checks===
During standard operation, it is necessary to ensure all airlocks are properly sealed prior to take-off in any shuttle. These checks should be performed by a [[Hangar Technician]] if present, otherwise the pilot of the shuttle craft may perform the check. Failure to do so will be considered i206 - Neglect of Duty or, should damages occur, i221 - Gross Negligence.

Proper pre-flight safety checks must include a visual sweep of the surrounding area to ensure it is free of hazards and personnel. Following this, a visual check of all airlocks must be performed. If an airlock is '''overridden''', force either set of doors closed, or if additional systems are available to seal the atmosphere of the shuttle, such as airtight shutters, they should be enabled and confirmed to be active. After the surrounding area, airlocks, and additional systems have been visually checked, the inspecting crew member must announce that the shuttle is cleared for flight if they are not the pilot of the shuttle.

===Horizon Weapons Systems===
The SCCV Horizon has been equipped with two main weapons systems in order to safeguard its assets, personnel, and mission. Its use and operation are an expectation during emergencies.

Bridge crew and Operations personnel are expected to follow command team orders on usage of the many systems aboard. In the absence of command, bridge crewmen are expected to operate the weaponry with discretion.

Weaponry should only be fired as a last resort, and all SCC personnel should consider the implications such actions may have on both the region and the greater Chainlink as a whole.

The Canary's weaponry may be used by the team lead on its away mission without command approval, but its use will be reviewed upon return to the Horizon. Misuse of any of the weapon systems are grounds for immediate termination.

===Salvage Operations===
During standard operation, the Horizon may come across abandoned or wrecked vessels. Due to various contracts secured between the SCC and governments of visited regions, these vessels may be salvaged by crew under the following conditions:

*The site is not inhabited or occupied.
*No local laws prohibit the salvage of that site.
*No other organization has previously claimed the site.
*No other department has claimed the site for other activities. Examples include:
**Archaeological exploration by the Science Department.
**Structural repair ordered by the Chief Engineer.
**Quarantine declared by the Chief Medical Officer.

Unless otherwise agreed upon with other organizations prior to a salvaging operation, such as Central Command or external partners, all equipment and materials salvaged from a site may be stored and used at the discretion of the Horizon.

==Command==
===Prohibited Imagery===
The following list contains all organizations containing prohibited imagery and symbology. Any items displaying the imagery or symbology of an organization contained on this list may not, under any circumstances, be displayed by Command or Bridge personnel.

*Emblems of [[Human Wildlands|"warlord states"]], including the '''Solarian Restoration Front''', '''the League of Independent Corporate-Free Systems''', '''the Free Solarian Fleets''', '''the Southern Solarian Military District''', and the '''Southern Fleet Administration'''; or
*Emblems of anti-corporate organizations such as the '''[[Himeo|United Syndicates of Himeo]]''', '''[[Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai|Adhomian Liberation Army]]''', the '''[[Mictlan|"Founding Movement", or the "Samaritans"]]'''; or
*Emblems of the group '''[[Unathi_Crime_And_Enforcement#The_Champions_of_Moghes|"Champion of Moghes"]]'''.

===Uniform Regulations===
All Command and Bridge personnel must wear appropriate business or business casual clothing. Personnel may not dress in a manner that may lead to the misidentification as a member of their originating corporation or nation-state. All prohibited imagery or symbology may not be worn under any circumstances.

===Acting Captain===
Should the Command staff be missing a captain, it is preferred that all members of the Command staff present act as a singular commanding entity, thus negating the need to promote a specific person to the position of Acting Captain. Under such operations, the Command Staff carries the authority of the captain and can conduct actions that would otherwise require the captain's approval. These actions require a Command vote to enact a captain-level decision. Command votes to enact a captain-level decision may '''not''' occur if a captain is present.

All Heads of Staff can initiate a Command vote. This vote is considered a captain-level decision and thus carries the authority of the captain. A Command vote begins with one or more Heads of Staff declaring what the vote intends to do over the command radio. All Heads of Staff are expected to participate and vote yes, no, or verbally abstain (abstaining through inaction is not permitted). All command votes are majority-rules unless stated otherwise. In the event the command vote ends in a tie, the vote automatically fails. Any votes taken against another Head of Staff will see the implicated party automatically abstained from voting. Additionally, Command staff who have been formally detained under orders of the Head of Security will be unable to vote until they have been released and allowed to reassume their previous position.

During non-standard operation, the Command staff may vote to appoint an Acting Captain among the Command staff. This is a standard Command-level vote only requiring a majority in favor. In the event a Head of Staff is elevated to Captainship, Central Command should be informed immediately as the situation allows. Once standard operation is resumed, and any non-standard situations have been resolved, the Acting Captain must resign captainship and reassume their previous position.

===Captain Authority===
The vessel's assigned Captain has full authority over the operation of the vessel and the attached shuttles. They are authorized to shut down departments at their discretion, reassign crew members, issue direct orders to all crew members of the ship, and take actions within reason that may violate regulations in non-standard situations.

The captain is trusted to act in the best interests of the company, crew, and vessel they are assigned to. Any complaints or concerns over the captain's decisions should be addressed after their orders have been carried out, and after the situation that prompted those orders has been resolved.

===Command Staff===
During standard operation, all Departmental Heads of Staff are equal under the command of the captain present onboard the vessel. Should a department find itself lacking a Head of Staff, the Captain is able to either assume direct supervision of the department or otherwise appoint a senior crew member to fill the missing role through the procedure for [[#Interim Command Staff|Interim Heads of Staff]].

During non-standard operation, a specific Departmental Head of Staff may be elevated above others, should the crisis situation fall under the responsibility of their department. At that point, other departments should act in a supporting role.

===Interim Command Staff===
<small>''See more: [[Chain_of_Command#Interim_Heads_of_Staff|Chain of Command]]''</small>

During standard operation, departments lacking a Head of Staff may have a senior crew member elevated into an Interim Head of Staff position by the Captain, Acting Captain, or Executive Officer. They inherit equal responsibility and power to a normal Head of Staff, with the exception of votes of no confidence to which an Interim Head of Staff may not start or participate in. During the selection of an Interim Head of Staff, considerations for SCC standards should be applied, regardless of whether it may exclude potential options for Interim. In the event of a crew member being elevated into an interim position, a promotion form should be completed.

During non-standard operation, restrictions and considerations on an Interim Head of Staff may be ignored, with exception of vaurcesian employees who may not be elevated under any circumstance. However, all Interim Heads of Staff that do not otherwise fit SCC standards must be demoted to their standard position immediately following the conclusion of non-standard operations.

===Command on Leaving the Vessel===
Should, during standard or non-standard operation, the need for one or more Command staff to leave the SCCV Horizon arise, it is possible for them to do so if and only if there is at least one other Command staff remaining on the ship after their departure. If any command vote is called while there are Command staff away from the ship, their vote is still required, and their return should be awaited. This section may be overridden by a captain if required.

===Corporate Liaisons and Consular Officers===
Command staff are expected to engage representatives (both corporate and diplomatic) through diplomacy and to consent to reasonable requests. The representative is not part of the vessel chain of command. The representative is granted special status in relation to corporate regulations:
*The representative does not serve brig time for low level infractions; the fine alternative can be used in those cases.
*The representative can serve brig time for medium and high-level infractions, with command staff being able to contact Central Command requesting the revocation of the representative's privileges.
*The representative's office offers immunity to the representative. Security may not enter to conduct arrests under normal circumstances. Entering or refusing to exit the office is considered trespassing.
*The office's immunity may be revoked by the captain or a captain level decision.
*Security is only able to conduct an arrest inside the representative's if the office's immunity was revoked or if there is clear evidence that a medium or high-level infraction is happening inside the office.

===Departmental Funds===
Through the combined budgets of the SCC Chainlink, departmental funds have been granted to the use of each department. Command members are encouraged to make use of this allotment as needed for day to day needs to ensure smooth operation. Heads of Staff are encouraged to utilize these funds to acquire materials, equipment, or other general supplies.

Additionally, Command Members may authorize small bonuses to crew members for exceptional situations up to 1000 credits or incentive bonuses up to 500 credits. Bonuses should be documented on general faxes and sent to Central explaining the situation, employee, and amount.

===Evacuation and Emergency Bluespace Jumps===
During extreme non-standard operation, evacuation or emergency bluespace jump orders may be used when the Horizon is placed in a situation that threatens the destruction of the vessel or her crew. Emergency bluespace jumps are the preferred order, with evacuations remaining a last resort that may coincide with [[#Delta Alert|Delta Alert]].

An evacuation or emergency bluespace jump order may only be enacted by a captain or '''unanimous''' Command-level vote. Central Command '''must''' be notified of the order along with a brief reasoning before the order has been completed. In the event of an evacuation, all sensitive information, materials, and equipment must either be destroyed or secured with the evacuating crew.

===Incident Management===
During non-standard operation, it is expected for departments to assist in the safe resolution of said incident and the recovery of standard operations. When it becomes clear that a significant incident is arising that could affect standard operations of the vessel or cause significant damage to crew or property, it is expected that (when possible) all on board personnel are provided with the following information:
*A brief description of the current incident.
*What steps have been taken so far to combat this incident.
*Suggested action for the crew to take.
*(If applicable) A brief description of the reasoning behind a change in alert level.

Exceptions to this include where the above information would compromise vessel security or safety. If this is the case it is expected that as much information as is safe to do so is dispensed for the crew.

===Faxes===
<small>''See more: [[Guide to Faxes]]''</small>

Command and Command-support personnel may be required, from time to time, to fax an external organization. These communications must follow given standards as necessary for the correct routing and swift processing of communications.

All Command personnel are permitted to seek guidance from Central Command as necessary during vessel operations. However, at no point may any personnel halt, delay, or otherwise disrupt operations pending return communication from Central Command.

====Internal Routed Faxes====
All communications routing within the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate network, including Central Command or affiliate-corporations, shall use internal SCC routing. These communications must utilize standardized forms appropriate for a given communication. All fields, with exception of index, must be filled. Tau Ceti Basic is to be utilized except for signatures. Stamps, where necessary, must be provided. Failure to abide by these guidelines may result in the misrouting or rejection of a sent communication. The following is a guideline for standard fax forms:

*General Fax: To be utilized for standard, non-urgent communications. This is the standard form for non-critical updates, personnel alterations such as suspensions, budget use for bonuses, and other miscellaneous communications.

*Situation Report: To be utilized for high-urgency, immediate-attention communication with Central Command. This is the standard form for all non-standard situation reports.

*Secondary Forms: Secondary forms (such as security reports, forensics reports, medical reports, or any other document) that are to be sent to Central Command should be attached to any of the above as required, and not sent on their own.

====External Routed Faxes====
All communications routed to non-SCC entities, such as a government or an independent organization. These communications have no standard guidelines, and as such may be performed as necessary.

==Science==
===Scientific Experimentation===
Approved science experiments being performed by or with oversight from qualified researchers must be performed in a way that does not unnecessarily risk crew or vessel unless otherwise authorized by the [[Research Director]] or [[Captain]]. All sentient test subjects involved in the experiment must sign a SFFC-0501 Personal Release prior to the experiment. All items classified as contraband may be utilized within an approved experiment, however may not leave the production or testing environment, and must be stored properly after the experiment concludes. Failure to adhere to this procedure may result in an i221 - Gross Negligence.

===Slimes Experiments & Non-sapient Xenological Lifeforms===
Slimes, non-sapient xenoforms, and the subjects of transformative xenobiological experiments are not classified as crew, members of humanity or affiliated alien races, but as test subjects and property of the SCC. Performing transformative xenobiological experiments on a co-worker is considered homicide and is punishable by corporate regulations and by law.

==Operations==
===Warehouse Contents===
The operations department is expected to store and distribute warehouse supplies to the vessel's departments as deemed appropriate. The stock of the vessels warehouse is not to be regarded as contraband if it remains in the warehouse or is being transported to an appropriate destination.

==Engineering==
===Vessel Modifications===
All non-structural forms of modification, optimization, or upgrades to vessel equipment are permitted so long as the modifying engineer is qualified and has obtained written permission of all staff resident to the department in question. Large-scale structural modifications or additions require written and stamped consent from either the Chief Engineer, the Captain, or (in the absence of both) a delegated representative of Command staff.

==Security==
===Warden Authority===
The Warden's authority is limited to the brig and detainees and does not extend to the Security department or its personnel. Additionally, the Warden is not a de facto interim Head of Security in the absence of a Head of Security, unless promoted to that position by command staff.

With sufficient cause, the Warden is authorized to independently issue arrest and search warrants. This authority is subject to command staff review.

===Processing Time===
Personnel detained by Security are expected to be processed in a timely manner. Because a detainee's brig sentence begins after processing is completed, excessive processing times may result in the Warden or handling Security Officers being liable for illegal detention.

===Uniform Regulation===
On-duty security officers and wardens are required to wear the standard uniform provided by their employer or maintain business casual attire in the colours of their corporation. Casual wear, inappropriate footwear, shorts not issued with a uniform and skirts of any kind are not allowed. They must be immediately and easily identifiable as members of security.

On-duty investigative personnel are required to maintain business casual attire, regardless of colour. Casual wear is not permitted. If the personnel is not immediately identifiable as security, a badge must be worn at the hip or on the outer layer of clothing for ease of identification.

Footwear for on-duty security personnel must be business casual or boots and must be closed toe. Unathi and Tajara personnel may wear open toe boots, and Diona personnel are not required to wear footwear.

===Cadetship===
Investigative personnel are not required to complete a cadetship prior to beginning department duties. Any investigative personnel not having completed a cadetship may not perform the detainment of any crew. Those investigative personnel having completed a cadetship must display this within relevant records, and may perform the detainment of crew only where a Security Officer is not available to perform the same.

===Use of Force===
During standard operation, the application of force by Security personnel in response to a given situation should follow the ‘one step above’ concept, wherein the force applied is one level above that of the target. For example, unarmed individuals would call on the use of pepperspray or stun batons. Those equipped with a melee weapon would call on the use of a firearm.

It is expected for all Security personnel, notably the Head of Security, to participate in the determination of what forms of force are applicable in a given situation. However, the determination of adequate use of force shall not impede the security of the vessel and crew.

Failure to utilize adequate use of force will result in i117 - Excessive use of force in detainment.

===Responding===
Upon arriving at the scene, the security officer is expected to gauge the exact nature at the scene.

If the scene is clear:
*Radio in the situation at the scene.
*Ensure the safety of any crew in the immediate vicinity.
*Identify witnesses.
*Secure the scene in the event of occurrences (tape off area/disallow witness to leave).
*Proceed to 'Collecting Evidence'
If the scene is not clear:
*Identify nature of threat.
*If threat is able to be handled by officers on scene: Proceed with mediation/detainment.
*If threat is unable to be handled by officers on scene: Request immediate assistance. Upon requesting assistance, await said assistance before proceeding. Ensure your safety before ensuring the safety of others on scene.

===Collecting Evidence===
*Crime scenes must be sealed off for evidence to be valid. Ensure non-security personnel do not enter the scene. Avoid cordoning off high-traffic areas unless a serious crime (such as murder or mutiny) has been committed. Permission from the relevant head of staff, head of security, or captain should be gained to cordon off high-traffic areas of specific departments.
*If possible, cordoned-off areas should still allow access around it, via maintenance tunnels, less area taped off, or other methods. *Autopsies should be performed within the morgue.
*Disrupt standard vessel operation as little as possible around the crime scene.
*Investigative staff should be requested. Officers on scene are expected to ensure scene security until/during the arrival of/processing of the scene by investigative staff. If no investigative staff is available, officers are expected to secure evidence on scene.
*Witness statements should be taken (either via recorder or on paper) and physical evidence should be secured.

===Handling Evidence===
*Ensure gloves are worn to prevent contamination of evidence.
*Items that can be, must be held in evidence bags for transportation.
*Crime scene must be preserved until all evidence is collected.
*After evidence is collected, cadavers may be removed to the morgue and area may be cleaned up.

===Searches===
During standard operation, all individuals on the vessel are affording protections against unnecessary searches. These protections are waived in the following cases:
*The ship is on [[Guide to Alert Levels|Blue, Red, or Delta alert]].
*A search warrant has been authorized.
*The search is initiated within the two pre-designated checkpoint areas.
*The search is initiated at an improvised checkpoint area with Head of Security or Captain-level approval.

The procedure for initiating a search is as follows:
*The intent to search an individual is announced by an authorized Security Officer, Warden, or Head of Security.
*The authorized search warrant is presented if applicable.
*Select storage spaces on the individual are searched according to type of search:
**Checkpoint searches are limited to jackets, bags, and any containers within those articles.
**All other searches are permitted to search all storage spaces on an individual.
*Outstanding items identified as [[Guide to Contraband|contraband]] must be removed and bagged as evidence.
*All other items are returned to the individual.
*Should detainment be required, follow the procedure on [[#Arrest|arrests]].

===Arrest===
During standard operation, an authorized warrant is required to carry out an arrest. Authorization can be provided from a Captain-level decision, Head of Security, or Warden. The requirement for a warrant prior to arrest is waived in the following cases:
*The ship is on [[Guide to Alert Levels|Blue, Red, or Delta alert]].
*The member of Security directly witnesses the crime.
*It can be reasonably concluded that failure to act will pose an immediate danger to the crew and/or vessel.
Proceed as follows during the event of detainment:
*Announce intention to arrest and charges vocally. Present authorized warrant if applicable.
*Request the suspect surrender peaceably
*If suspect resists, attempt to handcuff. Verbal disagreement or swearing is '''not''' resisting. Verbal threats of violence, damage, or death '''are''' considered resisting arrest.
*If suspects fight back or run, apply needed force to cease flight and detain suspect. A charge of resisting arrest should be applied in this case.
*Remove suspect to brig for processing.
For witnessed major/violent crime:
*Immediately attempt detainment of suspect, with charges read out when suspect is secured.
*Remove suspect to brig for processing.

===Processing===
*Ensure Warden is aware of incoming prisoner.
*Bring prisoner to processing/booking room. Leave secured if violent/repeat offender.
*Check prisoner’s pockets (coat/jumpsuit), pack, and any containers within pack.
*Confiscate any contraband/evidence found. Note: Evidence must have pertinence to the case. If there is no direct correlation, evidence should be returned to person or respective department.
*Inform the prisoners superior of the arrest.
*Proceed to ‘Jailing’.

===Questioning===
*Questioning should be done in the brig. Booking/Processing is to be used for ‘informal’ interviews. Interrogation should be used in the case of more in-depth investigations.
*The Investigative team should get preference in questioning a suspect unless there's a good reason. A standard processing interview for an open and shut case is probably not worth their time, but it's always good to ask.
*If the person is not a suspect, do not handle them as an offender (handcuffing, stunning, or flashing them is not okay).
*Ensure usage of recorder during interrogations; ensure the suspect/prisoner/witness is aware they are being recorded. Ensure the suspect/prisoner/witness states their or has their name/occupation stated at the beginning of an interrogation.
*If person remains uncooperative, make note of this. Seek advice from your Head of Security.

===Jailing===
*Move prisoner to appropriate cell.
*Place personal items the prisoner was deemed able to keep upon release in cell locker.
*Set cell timer to appropriate time and secure cell.
*Remove handcuffs from prisoner’s person within secure cell if able to do so without severe risk to own wellbeing.
*Ensure records are properly updated to reflect prisoner’s crimes/status.

===Autopsies===
*All autopsies should be conducted by investigations within the autopsy room. If no investigators are present, the cadaver should be stored until one arrives.
*More steps outlining autopsies can be found [[Guide to Cadavers | here.]]
*Once the autopsy is completed, if the deceased was an employee aboard the SCCV Horizon, the cadaver should be remanded to medical so that they may carry out any potential [[#Post Mortem Wishes | post-mortem wishes.]]

==Medical==
===Do not Borgify ===
Personnel with a Do Not Borgify order are NOT to be borgified. Failure to heed these orders is considered malpractice by law and will be treated as such.

===Paramedic Helmet===
Paramedics are to use their helmet on the same basis as security: on code blue and above, and in dangerous situations.

===Postmortem Wishes===
It is medical's responsibility to ensure that post-mortem wishes are carried out for any crew who lose their lives aboard the SCCV Horizon. Bodies autopsied by investigations should be remanded to medical for this purpose once the autopsy is completed. Postmortem wishes are expected to be followed to the letter, if at all possible, by the Horizon.

===Medical Treatment Waiver===
Employees that do not wish to be treated, should be provided with the Medical Treatment Waiver form from the request consoles to sign.

===Medical Uniform Regulations===
On-duty medical personnel whose duties include '''direct patient care''' are required to wear the standard uniform provided by their employer or maintain a business attire preferably (but not required) in the colours of their corporation. Footwear must be professional and closed toe, with exception to Unathi medical personnel who may wear open toe shoes and Dionae medical personnel who may wear no footwear.

Casual wear, inappropriate footwear, shorts not issued with a uniform, and skirts of any kind are not allowed. Paramedics are required to be immediately and easily identifiable as Medical personnel.

====Operating Rooms====
For patient safety and infection control, OR's are held to a higher standard. Scrubs or a protective sterile surgical apron completely covering clothing underneath. Full PPE, including masks for employees who breathe and sterile gloves. Remember to wash your hands!

Employees entering for brief periods are only required the use of sterile gloves and masks. These employees may not come into contact with a patient undergoing an operation.

Tajara surgical personnel should be garbed in full body sterile drapes for infection prevention.

Shorts provided by PMCG-issued uniforms may '''NOT''' be used within the Operating Rooms.

Personnel failing to meet these requirements for the medical department are in violation of failing to execute an order.

==AI==
===AI Monitoring===
The AI only has to monitor the following secure areas:
*Armory
*SAT (The big nuke room)
*Telecommunications
*The Vault
*Command areas (Bridge, head of staff offices, etc.)
*Secure Storage
*Research Storage
*Research Server Room
*Engine Room (Supermatter specifically, INDRA if it is running)
*AI Core and AI Upload

===Access to the AI===
In order to access the AI upload or the AI core a Captain-level decision is required. All command staff must be informed of the decision.

= People's Republic of Adhomai =

Led by [[Notable Tajara#President Njadrasanukii Hadii|President Njadrasanukii Hadii]], the Peoples 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.
[[Image:Minimap pra.png|thumb|A closer image focusing on the factions surrounding the People's Republic of Adhomai's territory.]]

= History =

The People's Republic of Adhomai was established in 2431 as the sole ruling government in Adhomai following its victory in the First Revolution. With the popular leader Al'mari Hadii as their first president, they were able to enact deep reforms, such as the distribution of land, the establishment of state schools, and healthcare. Despite the recent changes, the planet of Adhomai was still bound to humanity and NanoTrasen, a relation that brought several benefits, but caused resentment among most supporters of the Hadiist ideology, as they believed that the Tajaran species could only be truly free if they were allowed to make their own path without the interference of the alien.

In 2449, while the royalist rebellion happened in the shadows, Al’mari decided to change his policy in regard to NanoTrasen. New economic policies unfavorable to NanoTrasen were enacted, alongside the denunciations aimed towards humanity’s imperialism and the necessity of a free Adhomai. This new position caused discontentment among many that were gaining profit with the presence of the Megacorporation on the planet.

President Al'mari was assassinated in 2451, one year after the royalist rebellion in Northern Harr'masir exploded. Al'mari's brother, Njadrasanukii Hadii, took over the office of the presidency while rolling back the economic reforms implemented two years prior. The head of the armed forces, Nated'Hakhan, attempted a failed coup with the support of many other generals, triggering the creation of the Adhomai Liberation Army.

The following ten years were marked by the Second Revolution; the conflict between the People’s Republic of Adhomai, the Adhomai Liberation Army, and the New Kingdom of Adhomai. During this period, several authoritarian measures were enacted by the government, such as the establishment of working camps for subversive elements and increased persecution of the Ruvska’ard or those from rebellious regions. Despite the presence of a strong economy and modern army, the PRA found themselves in a disadvantageous position in the war during 2461, losing important territories and battles. Without the support of the Sol Alliance, lost due to the recent friction caused by their poor relations, many feared that the People’s Republic may not survive in the upcoming years. Saved due to a coalition of allied alien states and mercenaries, the People's Republic was able to survive the conflict and secure peace through an armistice. Despite losing supremacy over Adhomai, they still control wealthy and populated territories and possess a better standing with the overall galactic community.

Post-war reality has seemed a bittersweet view. The PRA’s industrial might and strong hand have guided it to a prosperous growth in recent times. It has grown to be the shining jewel of Adhomai. However, times seem uncertain. The shortage of phoron has begun to seep into the nation, threatening the already fragile house of cards. As President Njadrasanukii Hadii grows old, many in the upper echelons fear the coming storm may only be worsened by a stagnating economy. With the Spur in a place of decline, there is little perceived help from beyond. The future, to those who dare pay attention to the warning signs behind the propaganda, is tumultuous.

= Culture and Society =

The Republican government seeks to create a single monolithic culture for the Tajara under the ideological vision of Hadiism. The suppression of the ethnic caste system installed by the previous noble rule is one of the goals of the People’s Republic that has been reached with little success, as such divisions are still deeply entrenched in the Tajaran people. The republican culture places a large emphasis on the importance of the collective over the individual interest, with each Tajara being considered as a piece in the machinery of the Tajaran society. PRA citizens are educated on the importance of preserving their union and how factionalism is dangerous to their own species.

Deviation from the established cultural and societal expectations can result in ostracization by the population and government. Regional identities and other alternative trends are suppressed and deemed as subversive. Due to such, M'sai, Zhan, and Ruvska'ard communities are often persecuted by the authorities and have an overall negative image before the eyes of the Republican masses. Loyalty to the Hadii party is a common trait among the citizens of the Republic, as much of the recent success and conquests of the Tajara species can be attributed to the popular leader Al'mari Hadii and his ideals. The fear of the secret service is also a present factor among the urban population of the PRA cities, especially as unrest from the economic downturn spreads across less fortunate cities.

Rural life is remarkably different from that of their urban counterparts. Communal farms necessitate a simple and disciplined lifestyle. Farmers wake early to fill their quotas. Most farms utilize basic mechanization permitting shorter work hours. While previous advanced farms using human technology had the shortest work hours, with some using semi-automated equipment, the shortage of phoron has led to many augmenting the struggling technology with hard labor.

Those in the resource extraction industry, such as mining or logging, have stable hours comparable to factory workers. Corporate operations have above average wages and other wide-reaching benefits afforded by NanoTrasen. Even as the phoron shortage grips the PRA, corporate mines hold a high priority in the phoron rationing program. As such, they are highly sought after positions by those fleeing the unemployment of the cities. State-run operations are very stable, promising a consistent wage, hours, food, and on-site housing albeit at below average pay, and little upward mobility.

Ruralities across the PRA have been experiencing an unexpected rise in immigration from urban centers. Due in large part to high unemployment, overstrained welfare, and overbearing secret police, many unemployed Tajara have chosen to find new opportunities among the wide open plains of the Hadiist countryside. This has led to tension between the urbanites and ruralites. The food shortages already present in rural regions continue to be worsened by the growing population, and rural centers struggle to account for the increased demand in housing. Those from the ruralities are known to be more conservative, however devoted Hadiists thanks to the benefits afforded by the Republic.

Urban life in the PRA varies based on the Tajara’s occupation, education, and standing with the Party. Most cities are built on a strong blue-collar population working the numerous state and corporate run factories. State-run factories boast stable but strict work hours. Eight or nine hour work schedules are observed, with 1 day of the week free. These factories provide free meals and average but stable salaries. Corporate-run factories boast a variety of work hours, although the average are 8 hour work schedules with two days free. Despite having a higher than average salary, it is highly dependent on the factory being in operation, and does not afford the free meals found in State-run factories. As phoron rationing leads to less operational hours for corporate-factories, this has led to unsteady paychecks. Party members, researchers, military officers, and other educated professionals usually have access to more services and luxuries, including increasingly unaffordable human-produced goods. Political dynasties, such as the Hadii, occupy the echelons of Republican urban society, controlling the industry and government. Criminal organizations are a growing presence in the cities, controlling legal and illegal businesses. Many less fortunate Tajara become mules and frontmen for the black market phoron trade, or the growing drug market.

A notable unemployed population is growing in many of the major cities. With corporate-run factories slowing operations, cutting staff, or outright shutting down, numerous factory workers have become dropped in a slim job market. Being reliant on an overstrained welfare program, life is spent between servings at the soup kitchen and spartan conditions in brutalist communal apartments. Few cities have begun to slow the momentum of the rising unemployment through rapid expansion of state-run factories, while the remaining suffer from growing unrest, lethargic government services, and increasing emigration from urban to rural centers.

The Republic affords its citizens a robust education system. Primary through secondary education are compulsory across the nation. All children are given a political education on the principles of and loyalty to Hadiism alongside typical courses. While traditionally all kids would go through secondary school, then enter post-secondary education or enter the workforce, [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/7/#findComment-182543 recent initiatives] by the Party have segmented secondary education into three categories: trades, arts, and higher education. Children are assigned the trades, the arts, or preparatory schooling based on a series of tests. Children are able to transfer to different schools if their performance is not sufficient in their assigned school.

Republican loyalists commonly greet each other by saying: "Hadii's grace, comrade".

Extended families are common in rural communities, while being less prevalent in urban centers. Couples leave their parents' homes after marriage, usually moving to a state-issued apartment. Due to the population loss caused by the conflict, there are incentives, such as tax cuts, welfare benefits, and better homes, for couples to have children. Despite the traditional Tajara family still being the basic unit of the PRA society, the government is trying to change it. Daycare centers aimed to fully raise children in the Hadiist principles have begun to be tested; in these facilities, the contact with the biological parents is minimal in favor of treating the individual as part of a bigger system. Some visionary hadiists have considered replacing biological reproduction with more technologically advanced alternatives, such as cloning or extending one's life with augmentation.

Due to the Hadiist revolutionary thought and the rejection of the older order, there is a policy of total gender equality. Female and male Tajara have the same rights, with the state making no distinction in any of its fields, including the military. The conscription, such as the one called in 2458, calls all able citizens regardless of gender. This practice allows the PRA to bolster its forces without affecting the workforce during wartime. Marriages are often seen as a formality to create a family, with the religious part being separated from the civil one. Same-sex marriage is not recognized by the Hadiist state, but some Young Hadiists have been campaigning for such. Transgender Tajara may have an easier time in the Hadiist society due to its vision of gender, but the medical technology and support are still in their early stages.

Due to the lingering prejudice, the overall Hadiist society considers relationships between different ethnicities to be negative. While the government places no official sanction on mixed couples, older officials will often discriminate. Visionary and Young Hadiists believe that the government should promote mixed relationships to further dismantle the Njarir caste system.
== Religion ==

The People’s Republic of Adhomai possesses no official religion, as it is a secular state by its constitution. Most of the population identify themselves as followers of the S'rand'marr Worship or the Ma’ta’ke pantheon. Irreligious and atheists tendencies are growing each day, as many Hadiists consider the traditional religions as fictitious chains created by the old Njarir masters to control their serfs.

Despite being in the territory of the PRA, the holy city of Sana Sahira enjoys a large degree of freedom from the centralized authority of the state. Foreign missionaries are permitted in the Republican territory, but their activity and presence are closely monitored by the authorities.

== Language ==

Siik’maas is recognized as the official language of the People’s Republic of Adhomai, used in all official documents and taught in schools. The use and learning of other Tajaran languages are discouraged by the education system that works to establish a single universal tongue for all of its population. Siik'tajr is used exclusively by the military and is not allowed to be taught to non-active military personnel. Speaking and teaching Delvahhi, Ya'ssa, or Nal'rasan as a People's Republic citizen is currently a crime. For children, it is child abuse as the state argues that these languages perpetuate negative cultural values and lead to worse lives for children. For adults, speaking these languages is considered harassment and teaching is incitement to crime. Heavy fines are used to enforce this and on repeat offences criminals may face prison time. Human languages do not face similar punishments as they are deemed important to Tajaran economic success abroad.
== Cuisine ==

After the great war, the great majority of the land was confiscated from the nearly extinct Adhomian nobility and distributed among the peasant population. Complex agricultural projects and farms run directly by the State were attempted. Early results were less than favorable and caused dissatisfaction in the rural population who chafed under overbearing bureaucrats who skimmed their yields to sell on the black market. Al'mari Hadii attempted to break this up shortly before his assassination. Njadrasanukii Hadii took his brother's project on and allowed more freedom to the peasants while adopting modern human farming equipment offered by NanoTrasen. Mechanized agriculture is a growing phenomenon in the republic’s territory, albeit a double edged sword.

Many of the mechanized farms reliant on NanoTrasen technology have begun to feel the heavy weight of phoron dependency. The phoron rationing system within the Hadiist Republic has led to increasingly bitter rivalries between different agricultural communities, and a decline in production of staple crops. While many lesser farms or those that were forced to wait for less efficient Hadiist alternatives have continued with less concern, their potential yields have led to a lower priority within the government, a stance still maintained despite the clear warning signs against the phoron-dependent farms.

Due to a lethargic bureaucratic system, and mismanagement of resources, the food shortage is rarely felt in the city where many supply lines lead. Rural regions, however, commonly experience food shortages. In attempts to smooth over the unsteady presence of crops, many families plant small gardens at home. Other individuals wanting more variety, and willing to work with unscrupulous businesses, can find all manner of food smuggled back from the cities to the ruralities on the black market.

While the People’s republic territory includes several different regional cultures, it is possible to find common culinary traditions among its population. Bread, baked with flour produced from a variation of the Blizzard Ears, is considered an essential part of a worker’s breakfast. Salt-cured Fatshouters’ meat also has been introduced widely, facilitated by the recent advances in livestock husbandry techniques. Canned food and alien goods are an uncommon sight in republican cities, imported by NanoTrasen’s subsidiary Getmore. The technological advances provided by the revolution allowed the population to have contact with more exotic dishes, besides granting more freedom of creation to Tajaran chefs, now that electricity and refrigeration are not only restricted to the nobility.

=== Notable Dishes ===

*'''Zkah'nkowa:''' a canned variety of the Fatshouter Bloodpudding, known for its low-fat content and lighter color. It was created shortly after the First Revolution to ease the food shortage after the conflict. Its low cost and nutritious value allowed it to become a staple of the Hadiist diet.

*'''Rikazu:''' small pies, often hand-sized, usually made by folding dough, overstuffing of fruit and cream cheese; commonly served hot. The simple preparation makes it a fast favorite, and the versatility of the ingredients has gained favor with Tajara of all creeds. Different variations of Rikazu pop up all over Adhomai, some filled with meats, or vegetables, or even imported ingredients, like chocolate filling.

*'''Sarmikhir:''' a fat sour-tasting cream made from Fatshouters' milk. Sarmikhir is mainly used as a spread; Adhomian bread is habitually consumed with it during the Hadiist breakfast. The cream is also used as a condiment and blended with salads and soups. Sarmikhir is sold at room temperature in cans or wrapped in foil.

=== Notable Beverages ===

*'''Victory Gin:''' considered the official drink of the People's Republic of Adhomai, Victory Gin was created to celebrate the end of the revolution. It is commonly found in NanoTrasen’s stations, due to a contract that allows the government to supply the corporation, and in the Tajaran communities of Tau Ceti. The destruction of Victory Gin's bottles and reserves was widespread when Republican positions and cities were taken by the opposition as the drink is deemed by many as a symbol of the Hadiist regime.

*'''Hro'zamal Soda:''' a soft drink made from the seed's powder of the Hro'zamal Ras'Nifs, a plant native to [[Hro'zamal]]. While initially consumed as an herbal tea by the colonists, it was introduced to Adhomai by the Army Expeditionary Force and transformed into a carbonated drink. The beverage is popular with factory workers and university students because of its stimulant effect. Much of Hro'zamal's agriculture was switched to planting the crops needed to supply soda production.

*'''Khlibnyz:''' a fermented beverage produced from Adhomian bread. Herbs, fruits, and tree sap can be added for flavoring. It is considered a non-alcoholic drink by Adhomian standards because of its very low alcohol content. Khlibnyz was mainly consumed by peasants during pre-contact times and is still very popular with the Hadiist rural population. Communal farms brew their own Khlibnyz and sell it to the government for distribution. The drink was involved in a controversy when the People's Republic tried to export it to human colonies as a soft drink, unaware of the alien standards.

=== Military Nutrition ===

The republican army is the best equipped among the warring factions of Adhomai, being supplied by NanoTrasen and other outworld supporters. Canned goods and modern rations are issued to all branches of the Republic’s military. Native field meals are composed of salt-cured Fatshouters’ meat, bread, and Victory Gin. Imported liqui-food rations, once a lucrative business for NanoTrasen, has become disfavorable as the cost of import rises above the cost of home production.

== Fashion ==

Having direct and friendly contact with humanity, The People's Republic of Adhomai has been the most influenced by the spacer fashion. The most known is the "assistant jumpsuits" which directly inspired the design of factory overalls, the plight and low pay of the assistants are close to the hearts of Hadiist Tajara and their Republic. However, outside of work attire, the Republic has attempted to quell humanization, preferring and encouraging simple and natural colors for civilians, hoping to stifle any thoughts that someone's neighbor has it better than them. One interesting rise is in the nylon industry. Nylon being stretchy, accommodating, and see-through yet very warm makes it the perfect wear for any Tajara, mainly soldiers and dockers who spend hours outside in the cold biting environment. However with the vast majority of nylon originating from the corporations, it has become a high-priced commodity.

Tail adornments have recently become very unpopular, being quoted as a "Reminder of the shackles the Njarir had on us", yet still the younger Tajara who do not remember the rebellions have taken a liking to these. Piercings are also popular with youngsters, who have observed this behavior from humans. Curiously it has also become common among soldiers and outlaws who pierce their skin with gold, silver, or coinage. This way one can hide a substantial amount of money under their fur.

Fur dye was once a banned item within the People's Republic. Seen as a symbol of loyalty to the nobility, thanks to its historical use, many who fought for the revolution found a disdain of the practice. It was only until President Malik Hadii unbanned fur dyes that the practice saw a resurgence. While the official record stated that such practices were unbanned for the use by soldiers and true Hadiists to symbolize their patriotism, the truth lies not far away. Convicts, test subjects, and all manner of those under the control of the Republic's Ministries find their backs marked with dye for identification and, importantly, to prevent escapees from hiding. Regardless, modern use of fur dye among the populace is largely for practical or patriotic reasons. Self-expression is a growing trend in the cities, however great scrutiny is placed on what these expressions display by the National Police Department.

=== President Hadii Badges ===

President Hadii badges are metal pins and medals bearing the image of Njadrasanukii Hadii. Created during the dawn of the First Revolution, these objects were crafted and worn by the Hadiist to identify themselves in opposition to Nated. The first ones were made with crude materials. In the early stages of the Hadii cult of personality, badges were only officially issued to celebrate events and special dates. In the later moments of the Second Revolution, they were mass fabricated and used as displays of loyalty to the Party. A thousand variations exist; some models are exclusively sold to tourists visiting the PRA. Some individuals are known to collect them.

== Music ==

The music in the People’s Republic of Adhomai typically deals with patriotic themes; focusing on the political struggles of the Tajaran people and the great accomplishments of the Party and President Hadii. While folk instruments are still widely present, it is not uncommon for alien techniques to be used in musical productions. Artists can only perform in public areas and publish their works with the express approval of the government. Censorship is a common obstacle that many producers encounter. [[Notable Tajara#Yasmin Piaf|Yasmin Piaf]] is one of the most famous Republican artists.

Hadiist war songs during the first years of the second civil war used to boast about their technological and numerical superiority, claiming that the rebels would be swiftly crushed. During the later stages of the conflict; the theme quickly changed to call for the steadfast defense of the Republican lands and the preservation of their nation before the advancing enemy.

=== National Anthem ===

The current People's Republic's national anthem was chosen shortly after the ascension of President Hadii to power. The song portrays Malik's rule as reinvigorating and as the rightful continuation of Al'mari's government.

<poem>
The flag is moving in the morning sky,
With our first step as important as the winds,
Do they hear the winds, rustling again?
The winds of mighty attacks!

And our march is going on again!
And the heart is uneasy in our chest,
And the Republic is young again!
And the youth of Hadii are young again!
Now our march is going on again!
And the Republic is young again!
And the youth of Hadii are young again!

Don't wait on mercies from the Sun!
Don't spare their lives for truth!
In this life, comrades,
We have our own truth!

There are heat and snow in this world,
The world is young and rich,
The youth of Hadii is with them!

== Literature ==

Literature in the People’s Republic is heavily regulated and influenced by the Party. To secure government control over the field the '''Tajaran Union of Writers''' was established, an organization responsible for dictating the writing norms and acceptable contents of any book. All texts must be approved by the Union before being published, as publishing a work without official permission is considered a crime punishable with imprisonment. The government maintains a long list of banned works, that mostly includes pre-contact books and anything conflicting with the Hadiist’s values. Possession of banned texts is penalized with detention and re-education classes.

The current Party-supported school of literature is known as Hadiist Realism. This movement focuses on the condition of the Tajara people, the Republican struggle against the other two factions, and rebel stories from the First Revolution. Writers must portray the common Tajara as a heroic individual guided by the Party. Despite the support of the state towards literature, it has only found some moderate success within the urban population. Rural Tajara still see books with suspicion due to their association with the nobility.

=== Notable Books ===

*'''Hadiist Manifesto:''' a political document supposedly written by Al’mari Hadii after the First Revolution. It is regarded as the foundation of the Hadiist Ideology. It presents an analysis of the Tajaran situation post-conflict and how they could secure their future in the galaxy. Its reading is mandatory in all Republican schools and copies can be found in most homes and public buildings.

*'''The Tajara Without Sun:''' a self-published alternate history novel, set in a world where the People’s Republic won the Second Revolution. The book depicts a dystopian Adhomai under the totalitarian rule of President Hadii; a future where all aspects of life are fully controlled by the Hadiist Party. Due to rampant industrialization, the skies are covered by black smog that blocks any sunlight from reaching the planet. The work is famous for a scene where President Hadii orders the cyborgification of all Ruvska'ard Tajara. Due to its criticism of the Party, the book is banned. Its author is currently unknown; their real identity is subject to much speculation. Copies are commonly found in the black market or in the hands of Non-Republican Tajara.

*'''Summer Comes to Adhomai:''' a Hadiist Realist novel set during the First Revolution. The book tells the story of a young Hharar farmer involved in the revolt against the nobility. Later in the story, the protagonist encounters the forces of Al’mari and joins his army in his conquest of Adhomai. The text praises the bravery of the revolutionaries and depicts Hadiism as the inevitable outcome of the Revolution.

== Television ==

Television is one of the most popular forms of mass media in the People’s Republic, owing to the Tajaran traditions of theater and oral storytelling. All channels are currently under the strict control of the government. While a majority of the programs are Adhomian-made, few select alien shows are allowed after passing by the Party-approved editing and translation. Television is considered a powerful propaganda tool by the Hadiist Party. Soap operas, films, and news are made to teach republican ideals and reinforce President Hadii's cult of personality. Actors are selected for their roles depending on their standing with the Party.

Telenovelas are well-received by the Republican audience. Hadiist shows are usually focused on the daily Tajaran life and period pieces set during the First Revolution. PRA television is infamous for interrupting the regularly scheduled programs to broadcast President Hadii’s speeches.

=== Notable Shows ===

*'''Comrade Rafama and Friends:''' an animated series aimed towards the younger audience. This shows attempts to teach the principles of Hadiism through characters based on Adhomian animals. The protagonist, Comrade Rafama, is the embodiment of the ideal Hadiist citizen; he and his many friends are always eager to apply the teachings of the Republican ideology to resolve any problem that they may come across. The cartoon’s popularity outside of Adhomai exploded after the introduction of Cool Schlorrgo; a character meant to represent the PRA loyalist forces in Hro’zamal.

*'''Midnight in Shastar City:''' a spy-thriller series focusing on the life of Comrade Konon, a fictional PSIS agent going undercover in the Adhomai Liberation Army. The show follows a rigid format where the protagonist is involved in a different operation every episode, ends trapped in a death-and-life situation, and then escapes using some kind of ingenious gadget or makeshift solution.

*'''Tears on the Snow:''' one of the longest-running Adhomian telenovelas, it is focused on the history of a Tajara family through modern Tajaran history. The plot started with the first revolution and is currently situated in the period after Al’mari’s death. The show is known for its large cast of characters and over-the-top dramatic situations.

== Radio ==

Radio has a long history with the People's Republic, as it was widely used by rebels during the First Revolution. While it is quickly losing ground to television, it is still popular with the rural population. In a similar manner to other mass media outlets, the radio is heavily regulated and censored. All major stations are controlled by the People’s Republic and serve as propaganda vehicles for the Party. Amateur radios are allowed to operate after acquiring the proper license, but their channels are closely monitored by the Secret Service. Several jamming stations were built to prevent Hadiist citizens from listening to broadcasts made by the other Adhomian states. Number stations are common in the People's Republic, some have clear goals, like counting the time until curfew, while others' intended purposes remain unclear.

Outside of Party endorsed music, radionovelas stand out in the Republican radio scene. Spy thrillers, war stories, and melodramas are the most prevalent genres in these shows.

=== Notable Radio Stations ===

*'''The Voice of the Tajaran People:''' the national network of the PRA, focused on the political life in the country. It is considered the major source of news about the country and outside affairs on the radio. President Hadii is known to transmit all of his speeches through this channel. It is a tradition in communal farms for Tajara to gather around the radio to listen to what their leader has to say every afternoon.

*'''KGTW-11:''' a radio station geared towards music and other sources of entertainment. Sports, fashion, television shows, and more are discussed by the hosts. Despite the seemingly apolitical nature of this channel, they are also under constant vigilance by the secret police in case they transmit any anti-Hadiist message. Yasmin Piaf is the main star of this network.

== National Holidays ==

The Party maintains its own set of state-approved holidays to be celebrated by the citizens of the Republic. Even in the harshest years of the war, these holidays were celebrated in full extravagance.

*'''Establishment of the People’s Freedom and Memorial Day (March 4th):''' also known as Victory Day, this PRA holiday is centered around the founding of the People’s Republic of Adhomai following the First Revolution. It begins with a President’s speech congratulating the loyal citizens of the republic for keeping up their ideals bestowed by the revolutionaries and the Party. Ceremonies are held in cities in respect to the various heroes of the Republic and Al’mari Hadii, who are given a full memorial in the form of a state funeral service before the Palace of the Free Tajara in Nal’tor. Military parades to show off the Republic’s advancements and might are held within major cities. The Social Harmony Committee of D6 hosts their ceremony and parade with PRA veterans in front of the Hadii Living Complex.

*'''Presidential Honoring and Respect Anniversary (May 30th):''' held on President Njadrasanukii Hadii’s birthday (unofficially known as President’s Day) this holiday had only officially become one at the beginning of the Second Revolution. When President Hadii’s cult of personality grew into the power that it is today, he had seen fit to declare his birthday a holiday within the PRA. During this day, a lengthy ceremony is held in the capital to celebrate President Hadii’s guidance of the PRA into the future and prosperity. This ceremony includes performances from the Grand People’s Army orchestra, personal accounts from military officers on President Hadii’s great leadership, and stories from the older generations who speak highly about how Hadiism improved Adhomai. D6’s party halls fill up during this time to screen recordings of the ceremony. Normally, to make full use of their payments, the organizers of these screenings hold dances afterward.

==Hadii's Youth Clubs==

Hadii's Youth Clubs are a recent reorganization by the current Minister of Education, Kalim Khazdar, of the much older Youth Brigades. After the armistice was signed, it soon became clear that the war-oriented Youth Brigades were no longer suitable for the young citizens of PRA. Thus Hadii's Youth Clubs were established, focusing more on education, good manners, and proper political behavior. Children from ages three to seventeen can enroll in a youth club, with the youngest members often being given to the care of the girls in the clubs.

Members of these clubs are easy to spot due to their uniforms. The boys are equipped with blue shorts, or pants during winter, white shirts, and bright orange cravats. Meanwhile, the girls are required to wear blue skirts, white long-sleeved shirts, and bright blue cravats. This uniform is a carry-over from the Youth Brigades, with one exception being the color of the shirt as it was changed from red to white. Children in these clubs often try to collect "good deeds" into their assigned logbooks. These deeds range from carrying groceries to the old, visiting an industrial powerplant, or conducting a course in political mannerisms. This of course isn't the only activity, as they are often given free time to play team sports, hike, or engage in "Pretend War".

The HYC is self-organized, with a civilian Party member being able to function as an overseer. Thanks to this change, even the most remote places are now able to provide their kids with after-school activities. Still, certain seniority exists, as the biggest HYC groups are pre-established and reorganized Youth Brigades, with most members still consisting of previous Youth Brigadiers. Notable youth clubs include; Young Ras'neers, Nal'Tor Volunteer Youths, and the controversial Rhazar Mountaineers, composed entirely of settled Rock Nomad children.

== Sports ==

The PRA shortly after its establishment quickly began to rewrite and re-interpret the rules and ways Tajara played sports. Much of the old nobility’s games were remade to serve the wider Tajara people. Men and women in parks played board games replicating the conquest of Adhomai, farehal loops were made in playgrounds for children to play in, and mahmrro clubs were founded and started underneath the Hadii authority. Nowadays the state has a vested interest in promoting games to youth. Especially with increasing urbanization, [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/?do=findComment&comment=157462| programs] were initiated to promote activeness in children to not just keep them fit but away from unwanted or illegal activities. Sports are taught to all Republican children as not a way to compete but to work with others. Tournaments do not have winners or champions and all players are congratulated for their participation.

Farehal is considered a child’s sport in the PRA. Board games became a big trend in the interwar period and saw the creation of several tabletop games, many of which also drifted into Little Adhomai. Mahmrro clubs in the PRA are run by the state as a means to encourage physical fitness in the population. Such examples are the Hadiist Youth clubs. There are no private clubs and what national teams there aren’t on the basis of any city or region but instead army branches and government ministries. The most well-known teams are the Republican Army Artillerymen, composed of veterans from the Army; The Ministry of Education Club, made of physical fitness teachers; And the Intelligence Services MC, a club for members of the PSIS. Other teams include the Naval MC, the MC Kosmosnaut, and the Ministry of Technology MC, which are considered the worst due to their low win/loss ratio.

== Crime ==

Crime in the People's Republic usually takes the form of bribery, smuggling, and [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/6/#findComment-169015 paper forgeries]. Violent crime is relatively uncommon and is harshly oppressed by the Hadiist police force. Because of its oversized and Party dominated bureaucracy, governmental corruption is widespread. The criminal underground is dominated by groups focused on forging documents and running illegal goods. Many Party members are involved in these organizations; authorities commonly obtain a share of their profits by turning a blind eye to their activities. This situation is known to the high echelons of the Party, but they prefer to only interfere when it aligns with their own motives. A notable rise, and one that carries a high risk, is the black market for phoron. The phoron rationing programs of the PRA have resulted in a lucrative black market for phoron, fueled by pirates and Party members. It is a high risk market, however, as the upper echelons of the Party spare little expense in rooting out those smuggling the precious material.

Speaking against the Party, preaching any other ideology besides Hadiism, possessing unauthorized literature, and lying to Party members are among some of the political crimes that can earn anyone a hefty sentence. The persecution of dissidents is under the responsibility of the People's Strategic Intelligence Service. While the death sentence is generally reserved to members of the Party, victims of purges, or for those suspected of working for other Adhomian powers; most political prisoners are re-educated and later released.

Protests and riots were a very rare sight across the PRA post-revolution. With the consolidation of supplies and resources, the Party was capable of placating the majority of the populace. The small minority of those dissenters were handled easily by the well-funded PSIS. However, with the mounting problems stemming from the economic disruptance caused by the phoron scarcity, protests and dissent have begun to test the limits of the PSIS and NPD. High unemployment, lowering wages, a lethargic and overstrained welfare system, all are causes for unrest in less fortunate urban centers. Ruralities are typically spared the struggles of urban dissent, however they struggle with disruption as less fortunate urbanites flee to the countryside. With a high amount of overcrowding and questionable food safety in rural towns, protests have become a growing problem for local police.

Both common criminals and political dissidents are sent to the same prisons without any separation. This practice is done to promote conflict between both factions to prevent coordination among the convicts. An increasing practice within the Hadiist system is the transfer of those serving life sentences to the Ministry of Technology. This practice is done under the table, as it is not condoned by the Party at large, and has proven to be a boon for certain experiments.

= Economy =

The People’s Republic of Adhomai uses the Adhomian Knuckle (თ) and the Biesel Standard Credit (电/CR) as its main currencies. Out of all Tajaran currencies, the Hadiist Knuckle is currently the most valuable one. Its banknotes are stamped with images of notable Tajara, with President Hadii's visage being the most common one. Commander Nated was once present in early print runs, but most notes bearing his image have been collected by the government; the few pieces that survived are considered valuable collector's items.

The Biesel Standard Credit is accepted everywhere in the People's Republic. This currency is used mainly by the megacorporations and the government. As part of a deal with the Sol Alliance, which was later ratified by the Republic of Biesel following the breakdown of relations, the Hadiist government can print a limited number of Biesellite credits.

Despite being largely rural, the People’s Republic is the faction with the most industrialized economy. While the majority of vital industries are controlled by the government, small private enterprise is still possible in a select number of sectors, as long as governmental permission is granted. The presence of megacorporations in the PRA territory was once a boon to economic growth. Steadily, as trade becomes difficult with the frontier planet and human-made machines degrade without vital phoron, it has become a stagnant component. Many workers still seek out the corporations for jobs off-world or in the growing resource extraction operations, most notably NanoTrasen with [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/7/#findComment-183840 Hephaestus Industries] and Orion Express rapidly expanding.

National party-owned factories answer directly to the government and have Party assigned overseers who decide how to run the production. The typical factory employs assembly lines and simple industrial robots, allowing the People's Republic to make use of their cheap labor and growing educated population. Government owned factories have become the centerpoint of Hadiist construction. Construction of new state-run factories has scaled to attempt to accommodate the rapidly declining corporate-owned factories, with less than stellar results.

Fully mechanized factories equipped with the latest in human machinery were once a growing presence in high-tech areas such as the city of Al’marii. However, this trend dropped off starkly as the Hadiist government began a strict phoron rationing program. Output dropped significantly without the wonder material, and the cost of import equipment far outweighed the potential profits. As such, many high-tech factories have since been abandoned leading to many shortages in cheap luxury goods. Despite this, Hephaestus Industries has become one of few megacorporation to [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/7/#findComment-183840 build more factories] within the PRA. Factories owned by megacorporations are permitted to run as the owner sees fit.

The Hadiist industry consists mainly of a large heavy sector supplemented by a sizable light industry. The People's Republic specializes in producing heavy machinery and processing the natural riches of Adhomai. Consumers' goods are very reliable and simple; megacorporations usually supply most of the luxurious products. These highly sought after luxuries are rarely afforded to all but the upper-class of the Republic thanks to rising import costs. Those lucky enough to save enough credits to afford such luxuries often find the maintenance costs too high, and promptly leave it for disuse. Thanks to the Hadiist investments in research, the technology industry in the PRA is one of the fastest-growing fields.

Hadiist agriculture is organized into collective farms. These farms are administered by councils of local Party members who act as managers who oversee the work for the season and send reports and requests to the central government in Nal'tor. The Party gathers all of the information provided by the farming councils - and all other economic data - and processes them through an older generation Artificial Intelligence, known as Aparhatchyk, purchased from the Republic of Biesel in 2459. This AI, dependent on phoronic technologies, has been a boon to the PRA’s agricultural economy. However, its use has been restricted to select times of the year to help stave off rising operational costs. The ministries of the Republic have begun training to fill-in for these gaps in operations, however the inefficiency and lack of real experience have led to shortages, lower crop yields, nutrient drainage, and an otherwise underperforming economy.

The government sends out directives to the farms, telling them to grow various crops and send requested equipment or additional labor power. The farmer councils then work to implement given orders locally. They do not compete directly with other regions. There is always a diverse yield produced every season. With the severe mismanagement of food supply, many councils take it upon themselves to skim crop yields for redistributing among rural black markets, a practice which typically goes unnoticed or ignored. Despite the illegal nature of it, this black market of crops has led to a thriving underground economy. While farming may be fulfilling to many, this simple life leads Tajara with a yearning to achieve more in life, or escape the rigid conservative life on the farm, to filter into the cities and then into space to find adventure in the greater galaxy.

Several welfare programs exist in Republican states. A common sight in the cities is communal apartment complexes with no rent, allowing the poorest urban dwellers to have a residency when they can not pay their bills. The life inside of those accommodations is devoid of luxuries, as they are built with low-cost materials and can house many families at once. The system has become heavily strained in recent years with the continued economic downturn. Soup kitchens struggle with food supply, a stark difference compared to the well-stocked grocery stores. Many families reliant on the urban welfare programs choose to leave their city and return to the rural farms and mines, or push their offspring to become educated and find a well-paying job off-world in hopes that the salary of a corporate job can return the family to good standing.

While the People’s Republic has not yet reached reliance on phoronic technologies in every sector, the use of the wonder material can be felt in other ways. Namely, the use of megacorporate technologies, factories, and spacecraft. Trade remains a vital part of the Hadiist economy and its immense material output. With the scarcity in full swing across the Spur, trade routes have become less profitable for the Republic and corporations alike. Pay cuts have begun to roll out across almost every industry sans agricultural. The cost of off-world luxury goods continues to rise. Corporate factories, being ever reliant on phoron to outpace the production of Party-owned facilities, have slowed down production and, by extent, worker pay. Lesser regions of the nation, such as those rural towns are smaller cities, have experienced temporary food shortages at times as advanced mechanized farms begin to see declining yields.

In turn with shortages, the Party has enacted a strict phoron rationing program. Recipients are tiered based on importance to national goals, the rate of phoron usage, and other smaller factors. This has led to tension and occasionally competition between organizations that need the precious material. The most notable examples tend to be advanced farming communities vying for phoron before their next harvest. Meanwhile, the Orbital Fleet bemoans the prioritization of academia and research over the operations of the space fleet. The Party condemns the entire debate, stating that the rationing program has been implemented as the nation requires, and that no true citizen of the Republic should feel concern over their allotment of phoron.

== Tourism ==

Tourism in the People's Republic is tightly controlled by the government. The state monopolizes the industry; however, collaboration with megacorporations is widespread. Due to concerns over internal security, only certain areas are available for visitation. The historical cities and the idyllic region of Ras'nrr Heartlands are the main attractions. Religious tourism is also common in the southern Rhazar Mountains, where pilgrims can visit ancient Tajaran temples. While alien tourists suffer no additional restrictions during their stay and can travel to anywhere a Hadiist citizen can, they are constantly watched by the PRA security service.

= Technology =

The People's Republic of Adhomai is the leading force on Adhomai when it comes to technological advancement. Owing to their long history as the only recognized Tajaran government (until recently), the Republic enjoyed assistance from extrasolar entities such as the NanoTrasen Corporation, Republic of Biesel, and even the [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/5/#findComment-159521 Free Tajaran Council]. This has helped the Republic develop advanced medical care and weapons, but most of this advancement is centered around the urban centers in the Republic's territory. Rural areas are typically less well-equipped, and the cost of medevacing injured family members to large cities like Nal'Tor is beyond the average farmer's budget.

These technological advances have come at a cost. Many corporate assisted advances, namely those in the medical field, require the ever dwindling resource of phoron. As a result, fewer and fewer Tajara have been granted access to the highest tiers of technology, rather than having to utilize their lesser but non-phoronic counterparts. This has supercharged the development of Tesla technology, however the inherent limitations of this Hadiist-created field have proven difficult to navigate around.

== Aparhatchyk ==

Aparhatchyk is an older generation AI created in the Republic of Biesel. In 2459, the People’s Republic purchased the AI to fuel its growing economy, and to progress its technological capabilities. While originally used solely for the management of the agricultural and production economy, its use expanded rapidly into numerous military and civilian fields. However, being a human technology, it relies on the use of phoron. Despite the small requirements compared to modern human AIs, the older age of Aparhatchyk has resulted in more frequent maintenance and wear down of the phoronic components. With the rising cost of operation, the AI has begun being used sparingly, with subcomponents of the AI being activated or deactivated throughout the year.

The most notable and widespread use of Aparhatchyk is the economic management subcomponent. This system takes in data from across the PRA. Resource extraction, previous production quotas and results, alongside agricultural yields, and so on. It returns a report on recommended actions for use by the Ministry of Economy and Ministry of Agriculture. This powerful tool has been pinned as the reason for the Republic’s high economic growth in previous years, and the robust industry. However, as this component has a relatively lower necessity to national defence, it has been used increasingly sparingly, forcing the Republic to adapt and train numerous functionaries to try and achieve a fraction of the foresight the machine was capable of.

The Republic’s nuclear arsenal is a vital component of its defensive stance, that being a form of mutually assured destruction. With the advent of the [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/5/#findComment-160314 Skypillar] missile system, the AI was established as the primary controller of these missiles, answerable only to President Hadii himself. As such, this subcomponent of the AI remains the most important system, having never been deactivated regardless of the phoron supply.

Smaller subcomponents, such as the use of Aparhatchyk derivatives in tanks or spacecraft have seen success. Despite the inferior versions having less maintenance and running requirements, the usage of phoron has led many to be removed or temporarily deactivated.

== Civilian ==

Even the average Republican citizen enjoys the technological fruits of the PRA's labor. Automobiles are a common sight, even outside of the major population hubs. With advanced cold-resistant construction and snow tires, your local farmer's pick-up truck is more useful than the previous N'hanzfu-driven carts. Sedans, vans, and large trucks are typical of civilian Tajara, and automobile sales spiked with the end of the war. Never before has the average Tajara citizen been able to enjoy the luxury of automated travel with such ease. Specially designed snow-piercing trains and underground rail systems are a staple and facet of modern urban PRA life. Investment into infrastructure has enabled the PRA to create a wide web of rail and bus systems, including advanced designs such as [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/6/#findComment-167906 maglev trains].

And, after a long day at work and riding public transportation, the typical PRA Tajara can return home to enjoy new advances in the field of telecommunications like their television set. Before the First Civil War, only the nobility had radios, and the populace had to rely on plays and other stage settings for entertainment. Now, not only are radios commonplace in almost every PRA household, but television sets are becoming even more popular. Each family is provided a television by the State, which can view up to at least thirty party-approved channels broadcasting everything from children's cartoons to the State news network. It is in this way that the People’s Republic is able to effectively disseminate propaganda to the masses and in some instances perhaps even spy on them.

Electric stoves, coffee machines, blenders, food processors - so many appliances have been introduced to the Tajara household. One can regularly view commercials on the air directed towards the lady of the house, advertising the next useful kitchen gadget to make her life taking care of her family and husband all the simpler! And for the children, simple wooden toy blocks and animals have been steadily replaced by plastic action figures, electronic video game systems, and even kid-friendly science-oriented learning sets (uranium included). For most families living in large cities, their home life has been irrevocably changed thanks to the Republic's technological superiority.

With their population booming from advances in medical care and home life, the PRA was forced to [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/6/#findComment-169521 invest their money into agriculture and farming equipment as well]. Tractors, tills, combines and other industrial farming mechanisms including auto-farms and culture-controlled greenhouses have supplanted and replaced the slow, old methods. Even small rural farmers no longer have to plant their crops by hand, as farming equipment is loaned by the government to ensure steady food production. A dying generation of old farmhands and ranch owners find their knowledge less and less useful to pass on as machine-assisted farmers outpace the yields of old.

Computers are quickly becoming widespread in the People’s Republic following the armistice. Outside of already being a fundamental part of the state bureaucracy, personal terminals are making their way into the Hadiist homes. Communal farms above a certain crop yield are given a computer linked to the managerial Artificial Intelligence to manage their production.

=== Notable Civilian Vehicles ===

*'''TAI-M1:''' a half-track, sedan-style car manufactured by the national automobile factories in Tampiska. Designed as a simple, cheap car to be mass-produced for the population during the interwar period. The initial plan of giving every Tajaran family an automobile was delayed by the Second Revolution; the constant fighting for Tampiska also interrupted much of the production. The project returned with full force after the Armistice. Able to withstand Adhomai's rough terrain and weather, the TAI-M1 is ubiquitous in PRA's urban and rural areas.

*'''TAI-Volgydoh:''' an executive car designated for Party Members and government officials. The Volgydoh is more spacious and comfortable than the TAI-M1. Early versions were convertible; this feature was discontinued after the assassination of Al'mari. These vehicles are only made in black color. Special models - powered by high-performance engines - are issued to the secret police. Due to the frequent use by the agents of the PSIS, these cars have been an almost constant target of bombing and sabotage attempts by the DPRA during the war, which lends them the nickname of "Coffin". Mentions of the nickname warrant the charge of inciting terrorism.

*'''Bryskavar Tractor:''' an experimental tractor powered by a miniaturized tesla engine. This prototype employs the same technology used by the tesla troopers. The tractor is larger than regular diesel models, but newer models are slowly being subject to improvements to fix this issue. The vehicle is currently being issued to communal farms as part of its testing phase. The initial prototypes were prone to random electric dischargers; another flaw that is being rectified by the Hadiist scientists. The People's Republic of Adhomai plans to apply this development to other vehicles.

== Medical ==

It is not only the military that has benefitted from PRA innovation. Whereas prior to discovery, the life expectancy of the average Tajara worker was around fifty years, now individuals living in hubs like Nal'tor can survive even well into their eighties. A greater understanding of anatomy and medicines have enabled the Tajara people to live longer, healthier lives. Infant death has plummeted, and the production of numerous vaccines have rendered several diseases extinct. Tajara-specific medication is more easily and quickly synthesized, contributing to the decrease in the cost of drugs.

The best in medical equipment, sourced directly from medical giants like Nanotrasen, have become a common sight across urban hospitals. Their use, however, is not as common and remains reserved for Party members and those in critical care. Regardless, your prospects are brighter than before with the advanced, however not as effective, Hadiist equipment. Rural clinics and hospitals, while better equipped now than they ever have been before, often are stocked with second-hand equipment from Urban hospitals. Midwives are still common amongst small towns and villages. Many communities continue to use traditional healing methods. Plans to standardize medical care across the rural communities within the PRA give hope, even if the roll-out is slow and piecemeal.

The most recent advancement for PRA citizens is the production of prosthetics using similar technology as the Tesla Trooper corps. Many veterans of both the First and Second Civil War have had their amputated limbs refitted with these mechanical limbs. The design and technology of these novel Tesla prosthetics can be seen [[#Tesla Prosthetics|here]].

== Military==

Perhaps the largest gap between the three powers on Adhomai is one of military might; the People's Republic has the most advanced military and was the first state with the capability to launch its own ships into space. This gives them a significant advantage over the New Kingdom and the Democratic People's Republic as they can control the space around Adhomai without contest. The Orbital Fleet is a technological marvel achieved in conjunction with human scientists, who provided outside help in the Republic’s efforts to propel Tajara into the stars. The Fleet is not without its drawbacks, however. It remains the highest cost in the Republic’s budget due to the relatively immense phoron usage. As such, fleet operations have become fewer and fewer, a far cry from the impressive operational endurance during the war.

Beyond the Orbital Fleet and the Kosmostrelki that protect the S'rrendmarr system, the PRA was the first government entity on Adhomai to successfully field and maintain nuclear armaments. The most infamous deployment of these weapons was the bomb that atomized Quizosa, resulting in massive casualties. Since this incident and the galactic outrage it caused, the PRA has not used nuclear weapons again - but they have more missiles in storage, and the threat of nuclear fire has brought their enemies to heel in some small capacity.

Veterans of the People's Republic are entitled to Tesla prosthetics as replacements for war wounds, a technology derived from the Republic's fearsome Tesla Troopers. The Republic has not shied away from the mechanical enhancement of its special forces teams, and the aforementioned Tesla Troopers are an example of this. The standard soldier is supplemented with cutting-edge firearms and armor, further empowering their performance in the field. With a great emphasis placed on laser weaponry, heavy armor, military exosuits, and weapons of mass destruction, the PRA military is a force to be reckoned with indeed.

=== Weapons ===

Unlike the other Adhomian factions, the Hadiist military has fully adopted automatic weapons. Their service rifle is the Tsarrayut'yan rifle, a select-fire, automatic rifle. Laser weapons are usually used by high-ranking soldiers or special operatives. Regardless of advances in the small arms field, artillery is the Republican army’s main weapon and pride.

Traditional Tajaran weapons, such as single shot and bolt action rifles, are widespread among the rural population. Those guns are primarily used for hunting or held as heirlooms from the First Revolution. Firearms are far less common in the urban centers, as they are associated with Party officials or gangsters. The purchase and carry of firearms require a permit issued by the government, with the exception being made to the members of the Hadiist Party and weapons that are considered family’s relics. Civilians can only acquire simple pistols, revolvers, and hunting rifles if they can prove a clear purpose for them such as hunting or defense of their shop. Party Membership allows citizens to acquire more powerful equipment, such as submachine guns.

==== Notable Weapons ====

*''' Tui'ad "Icelance" Laser Rifle:''' a clumsy energy weapon of Tajaran design, recharged through cranking. Despite having far less capacity and accuracy than modern laser rifles, the Icelance has proved itself to be adapted to the less advanced battlefields of Adhomai, as charging stations and even electricity can be a rare commodity in the most remote areas of the planet.

*''' Adar'Mazy Pistol:''' mass-produced pistol issued to People's Republic officers, government officials, and low-ranking Party members. Known for its simple, cheap, and reliable design, this weapon is produced by nearly all weapon factories in the Republic. The Adar’Mazy is also found in the hands of Adhomai Liberation Army soldiers and commanders.

*''' Nal'tor Model Pistol:''' given to Republican Commissars and high-ranking Party members, this bulky pistol is notable for its large caliber. Unlike the Adar'Mazy pistol, only a single factory in Nal’tor is allowed to fabricate it; its design is kept as a state secret. Because of its rarity and status, the Adhomai Heavy Pistol was a sought-after war trophy by royalists and rebel forces.

*''' Tesla Glove:''' a tesla-based weapon created by the People's Republic of Adhomai as part of their Tesla Brigade program. The glove is a gauntlet capable of firing electricity arcs and shocking targets by touch; as it is powered by a miniaturized version of the Tesla Spine. Because of its long recharge time and unwieldy design, the glove is mainly used as an ancillary weapon.

==== Notable Experimental Weapons ====

*'''Nuclear Launcher:''' the People's Republic of Adhomai was the first Adhomian faction to master nuclear fission. Atomic weapons were used before in the Tajaran civil war, causing the annihilation of the military base of Quizosa. The nuclear launcher was created at the end of the second civil, by republican scientists as a way to deploy such destructive force while on the field. This firearm launches a miniaturized nuclear warhead capable of causing a controlled, but highly destructive, nuclear explosion. Due to its experimental and dangerous nature, this weapon never saw deployment, but several prototypes can be found in the republican arsenals.

*'''Cybernetic Ha'rron:''' invented by the Ministry of Technology, the Cybernetic Ha'rron is a heavily augmented animal. Its limbs are replaced with specially made tesla prostheses; protection plates, bullet or stab proof are grafted on its back, head, and abdomen; hydraulic cylinders strengthen its jaw's strength; and the eyes are replaced with night vision optics connected to the brain. Due to the increase in aggressiveness and a shortened lifespan, the Ha'rron is kept in a drug-induced coma when not deployed. The cyborg hounds are currently being supplied to the People's Strategic Intelligence Service for testing.

*'''Skypillar System:''' created to deploy the Hadiist nuclear arsenal in case of a decapitation first strike, the Skypillar System is a missile control system recently revealed by the PRA. It relies on a series of sensors controlled by copies of the Republican AI. If the Skypillar detects an explosion, it will attempt to contact President Hadii and the Party to acquire authorization to use weapons of mass destruction. If unable to reach any authority, the Skypillar System will decide on its own if it will retaliate or not. The reliability of the mechanism and location of the sensors are only known to very few members of the state apparatus.

*'''Tesla Incinerator:''' created by the Ministry of Technology's Elektroika Labs, the Tesla Incinerator is a fearsome exosuit-mounted weapon. Utilizing an internal telsa generator, the incinerator creates a ball of plasma within a gas stored at the nozzle of the weapon. A strong directed magnetic pulse forces the plasma out in a cone of effect towards the target. While limited in range, the end effect is a devastating attack. The incinerator can only be used in extremely short bursts, or else the generator risks destabilizing and cause a devastating containment failure. Additionally, the usage of gas means the incinerator has limited usage before needing reloading, a time-consuming and dangerous process.

==== Notable Military Vehicles ====

*'''Ha'rron III:''' a main battle tank developed in the intermediate stages of the Second Revolution to replace the Mata'ke Rafama II. Thanks to its simple design, good armor, firepower, and speed, the Ha'rron III quickly became a mainstay of the Republican armored divisions. The tank is mainly used to accompany motorized infantry during operations. Plans were made to begin development on a Mark IV model after the war’s end, but those resources were instead moved by the ministry of technology to their mech designs.

*'''Rhazar Mk. I/II:''' a heavy tank built in the late stages of the Second Revolution. Instead of being equipped with a traditional ballistic gun, the Rhazar has a laser cannon. While this weapon gave the tank hefty firepower, it could only properly operate when in proximity to powerlines. However, the Rhazar Mk. I was effective in defending the Hadiist core territories in the final moments of the war. Projects to replace the engine with a tesla generator have netted moderate success with older Mk. I models being [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/6/#findComment-177855 upgraded into the Mk. II]. However, these models eschew the anticipated use of automated turrets due to phoronic limitations.

*'''Trid'irra crawler:''' a mech created for the [[Tajaran_Military_Structures#Division_Experimental_Exosuit|Division Experimental Exosuit]]. The Trid'irra is a medium-sized crawler carrying artillery guns. Its main role is softening targets before the multipurpose vehicles of the Division EE can engage. Because it was never used in combat, the true effectiveness of the Trid'irra remains unknown. Despite the investment in these new technologies, many Hadiist generals doubt that mechs can ever replace tanks.

*'''P'kus-3 Light Exosuit:''' a mech created for the [[Tajaran_Military_Structures#Division_Experimental_Exosuit|Division Experimental Exosuit]]. The P'kus-3, commonly nicknamed the "Egg", is a multi-purpose light exosuit for use by the Grand People's Army's Division EE and the Orbital Navy Kosmostrelki. Unlike its counterpart, the Trid'irra crawler, it features a modular mounting system for easy swapping of weapon systems. Heavy and light armored variants exist, with the heavy armored system seeing use with Kosmostrelki boarding parties to great success. Recent deals between the [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/7/#findComment-184305 Ministry of Technology and the SCC] have seen its components sold at discount to SCC corporations in return for usage data.

==Tesla Technology==

Elektroika, commonly known as Tesla Technology, remains one of a handful of novel technologies developed on Adhomai. Based on the volatile but potent Tesla field, Tesla technology has become the pride of Hadiist science. While not reliant on phoron technology, Tesla technology is vastly inefficient and less effective compared to its phoronic counterparts. It occupies a space below the human technologies of the modern age, but could prove its reliability in the phoron scarcity.

The most notable and widely used of the Tesla technological line-up is the generator. These generators range in size with the smallest being found in the Tesla Gauntlet. The largest on record was an experimental grid-scale power generator. The limiting factor in all cases is containment. Tesla generators require a thick containment shield, multiple discharge rods, and frequent maintenance. These requirements, however, do not ensure a consistent and safe generation field. Tesla generators, especially those larger variants, are notorious for containment failures. The results range from small shocks to explosive discharges. Containment failure has few cautionary signs, and is exceedingly difficult to reverse unlike Supermatter or nuclear alternatives. As such, maintenance technicians are highly sought after and often paid higher than average wages for their round the clock supervision and maintenance of the volatile technologies. Tesla generators are not without their benefits, however. The efficiency and output of Tesla generators are high, rivaling if not surpassing their fusion counterparts when adjusted for scale. Additionally, they are compact resulting in a high energy density.

The commissioning and decommissioning process for a Tesla generator is a careful and tightly controlled process. Both events have a high likelihood to result in failure, often resulting in the severe injury of the scientists and technicians present. Due to the inability of a Tesla generator to “turn off”, decommissioning is performed through a controlled containment failure, often via remotely detonated explosives in secure facilities underground. Research into slow-decay decommissioning is seen as one of the top-priorities in Tesla Technology.

=== Tesla Prosthetics ===

The most visible use of Tesla technology is the Tesla prosthetics program. Due to the high cost and difficult integration of human-made prosthetics, the Ministry of Technology designed Hadiist-made prosthetics with Tajara anatomy in mind. Originally tested on soldiers to form the [[Tajaran_Military_Structures#Tesla_Brigade|Tesla Brigde]], the program was released for civilian testing in 2462. Since then, the program has expanded to include Tesla organs, and improve upon the safety and design of the limbs and spine.

Between the military and civilian programs, numerous differences exist. Military-grade Tesla prosthetics were designed around earlier versions of the Tesla spine, which had leveraged the more powerful (and unstable) generator to supply the limbs, power armor, and even offensive electrical arcs. Civilian-grade Tesla prosthetics utilize newer versions of the Tesla spine. While not powerful enough to supply much more than prosthetic limbs and organs, it is much safer with the lowest chance of containment failure across all Tesla generators.

=== Tesla Rejuvenation Suit ===

Created as part of the Tesla prosthetics program, the [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/5/#findComment-161120 Tesla Rejuvenation Suit] is a hulking suit that allows disabled Tajara to regain their vigor. Its users are surgically grafted in the machine; their limbs are replaced by large, industrial replacements; their organs are placed in a tank full of healing chemicals located inside their chest, and finally, a big tesla spine is installed. Only the head remains untouched. The suits are bulky and clumsy, restricting their wearers to jobs involving weight lifting and other menial tasks. Since this invention is still in its early stage, reports of it malfunctioning or causing pain to its user are not unheard of; however, the government is quick to claim that these are only subversive rumors. Because of extensive augmentation, Tajara in these suits reports loss of sensations everywhere except the face. The Rejuvenation Suit is only granted to loyal Hadiist Tajara living in the People's Republic. Tajara wearing it are colloquially called "steelsuits".

=== Tesla Resurrected ===

One of the most secretive projects of the People's Republic is their quest to defeat death itself. In this mission, they created the Tesla Resurrected. Only known through leaked information, these experiments are dead Tajara brought back to life using a mixture of augmentation, chemicals, and life support machinery. While fresh bodies produced sentient subjects, with the bare minimum of consciousness to be called such, corpses with signs of decay require invasive techniques to birth more crude results. These resurrected, amalgamations of flesh and metal, are either mindless machines or reportedly violent maniacs. It is currently unknown if these experiments still exist in underground laboratories or if they were destroyed after they were interrogated for their secrets from beyond the grave.

== Science Cities ==

[https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/6/#findComment-170130 Science cities] are a large and expansive project by the Ministry of Technology to build a number of towns dedicated towards research and testing. Intended to be secretive and protected, these towns are built underground and without a disclosed location. Families are selected by the Ministry of Technology and PSIS to carry out the functions of the community. Primarily research, however supporting functions of food and recreation are provided to eliminate the need and risk of researchers entering the public scene. No official number has been declared regarding how many of these science cities have been built or are planned to be built.

== Outsider Department ==

The Outsider Department, officially called Department for Alternative Research, is supposedly a secret division of the Ministry of Technology tasked with researching parapsychology and anomalous phenomena. Only known through rumors and leaked documents, the department was created by the orders of Minister Zhuldyz Hadii after the war. Tales claim that countless unethical experiments take place in subterranean laboratories in an attempt to unlock the secret of the Tajaran mind and soul. Self-proclaimed magicians and mystics are brought to have their abilities put to test; so far, nothing concrete was found. Thanks to a recent partnership between the Ministry of Technology and the PSIS, there is no shortage of test subjects for the Outsider Department.

== Extranet ==

The People’s Republic has been connected to the extranet since the end of the First Revolution. It has the largest population online in Adhomai. However, it is subject to censorship by the Party; the Extranet is closely monitored by the secret police for any subversive tendencies. Sites that contain Anti-Hadiist ideas, such as Al'mariism and Royalism, are blocked. To cover the role of the banned domains, there are Hadiist-approved sites available to the public. Accessing the uncensored extranet is possible through illegal software or by being a full member of the Hadiist Party. The People’s Republic is rumored to be behind the countless bots that roam the extranet downvoting and reporting anti-Hadiist content.

Connecting to sites beyond Adhomai has proven troublesome. Due to the relative isolation of the S’rendarr system from the rest of the Spur, it is often the first to lose extranet connections when relays must go down.

=== Notable Websites ===

*'''Square:''' the most popular social media in the People’s Republic. Square is a social network service that allows users to create their profiles to stay connected to their friends and family. It is also possible to share content and pictures through a news feed and albums. In order to sign up, citizens have to register their Republican ID. The website is rumored to be used by the state to acquire extra information about its citizens.

*'''AdhomaiEye:''' the top search engine in the People’s Republic of Adhomai. AdhomaiEye is suspected of favoring Hadiist-aligned sources above popular or accurate results. Websites related to the other Tajaran factions are unlisted and searching blacklisted terms is considered a crime.

*'''PRATopic:''' an online forum aimed at young PRA Tajara living abroad. Outside of discussing mundane subjects and media, PRATopic has a large political section dedicated to the spread and the defense of the Hadiist ideal. The forum produces propaganda, political theory, and general virtual content to indoctrinate the younger generations. The website is infamous for its very strict moderation.

= Regions =
[[File:Internaldivisions-pra.png|300px|thumb|A map of the People's Republic's regions.]]
== Nraz'i Basin ==

Protected by the eponymous mountain range, the Nrazi'i Basin is the home of the Hadii Dynasty. Rebuilt in the image of a perfect Al'mariist society after the First Revolution, the Basin is a land of planned cities, rocket launch sites, and strict order. The region concentrates the majority of the PRA's technology industry and laboratories. Its inhabitants are considered to be the devout Hadiists; years of indoctrination and propaganda succeeded in creating a loyal population. Due to its status as the jewel of the nation, the People's Republic is willing to do anything it takes to stop its enemies from ever touching the Nrazi'i Basin.

== Ras'nrr Heartlands ==

The Ras'nrr Heartlands, also known as Adhomai's breadbasket, is home to the thousands of communal farms responsible for the majority of the agricultural production in the People's Republic. Lying in the shadows of the Nraz'i mountain range, the Heartlands is an idyllic paradise amidst the ever-growing urbanization. Since the end of the First Revolution, Central Ras'nrr maintains its rural tradition without forfeiting modernity; tractors, complex irrigation systems, and chemical fertilizers are widely diffused. Because of its large forest, the northern areas of the Heartlands have a thriving logging business. Its population has the fame of being rustic, but politically active, Hadiists. The communal farms are one of the few forces in the People's Republic able to negotiate with the Party on near equal grounds, especially as the shortages of phoron and food make their production all the more necessary.

== East Ras'nrr ==

East Ras'nrr is the most populous and wealthy area of the People's Republic. Boasting a well-developed infrastructure and industry, the region plays an important role in supplying the rest of the continent; all kinds of goods quickly flow through its rails and roads after leaving the assembling lines. Thanks to the capital of Nal'tor, East Ras'nrr has plenty of contact with the overall galactic community. Alien products and media - as long they have been approved by the Party - are available to the inhabitants of the region who can afford them. Despite this cosmopolitan nature, the Holy City of Sana Sahira stands in the south as a reminder of the Tajaran traditions.

== Rhazar Mountains ==

The Rhazar Mountains and its surrounding areas are famous for their abundant mineral riches. Entire towns and villages are dedicated to mining. Tons of ores are brought to the local foundries before being carried to be processed by the factories in East Ras'nrr. Because of its vast deposits of rare-earth elements, the Rhazar Mountains are essential to maintain the ongoing Hadiist's technological development. Communal farms are also found on the prairies east of the mountain range.

= Major Cities =

*'''Nal'tor:''' the capital of the People’s Republic. It is the most populated city in Adhomai, being the cultural, financial, and political center of the country. Nal'tor is considered modern and industrialized by Adhomian standards; it is the place where a Tajara can have the most contact with aliens and new off-worlder technologies. Despite the relatively low crime rates, its inhabitants are under constant surveillance by the police and the intelligence agency. It is home to the largest shuttle port on the planet. Attractions include the very active nightlife, Tajaran Electro-Swing clubs, and museums. The city is known for being the site of the now-destroyed Steeple, which is currently being replaced by the Palace of the Free Tajara. This building will be the tallest freestanding structure in Adhomai when completed. Having been built for the future, it currently has the largest housing surplus making it a common destination for those seeking a new home. The [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Nal'tor College of Career Excellence|Nal'tor College of Career Excellence]] is among one of its most famous academies.

*'''Tampiska:''' an industrial hub focused on the production of heavy machinery and automobiles. The city suffered greatly in the second revolution, being the stage of intense urban warfare between the Republican Army and the Adhomai Liberation Army. The Armistice has allowed Tampiska to recover, giving it the chance to return to its old productive days. The city contains vital roads and railways linking Nal’tor to the rest of Ras'nrr, making it a major strategic point. Main attractions include memorials related to the Tajaran civil wars and its many train stations. With many NanoTrasen factories cutting staff and shutting down, Tampiska suffers the highest unemployment rate in the Republic. However, it boasts the strongest construction industry as mass state-funded construction projects expand existing Hadiist industrial complexes.

*'''B'urr:''' an important harbor town on the coast of southern Ras'nrr. The city was once captured by the Adhomai Liberation Army during the Second Civil War. Famous for its busy ports, where most of the coastal trade flows before being distributed through railroads. The settlement also has high crime rates, with shady figures wandering between its warehouses and docks at night. The main Republican submarine base can be found in B’urr. The city is home to marinas and historic lighthouses.

*'''Mal'jor:''' a city built on the principal chokepoint dividing Ras'nrr. It is heavily defended by several military bases. The settlement was occupied by the rebel forces for most of the war until it was liberated in the final year of the conflict. A mining town exists close to the garrisons, with most of the population being employed in the prospecting business or the service sector. This has made it a fast growing city, as former factory workers find work in the mining sector. It suffers with an immense housing shortage as a result. The entrance to Adhomai’s longest cavern, the Kurguzov Cave, can be found south of the city. Its tunnels spread further into the Rhazar mountains, with various areas still being left unexplored.

*'''Orul:''' a city located around the fertile lands of northern Ras'nrr. It remained under the control of Hadiist forces for the entirety of the war, avoiding any kind of destruction. Previously underpopulated, it has grown rapidly with urbanites seeking employment in the surrounding farms that visit the city. Foodstuff is brought from these farms to Orul, where most of it is shipped to the rest of the Republic. This has led to it becoming a major black market location. The city lacks the presence of any industry, but has been slowly urbanizing; much to the chagrin of locals and tourists who once considered it an idyllic escape from the hectic metropolitan life. Azubarre is the patron god of Orul.

*'''Zatushka:''' a city located close to the vast forest of northern Ras'nrr. It is renowned for its logging and woodworking tradition. Due to the supply of high-quality wood, numerous artisans and industries have taken up residence in Zatushka. Furniture made here is known to be of high quality and is prized everywhere in Adhomai. The city was controlled by the Liberation Army for most of the civil war, resulting in heavy devastation during its capture in the last moments of the conflict. This continues to haunt the city, leading to overcrowding as the logging industry grows from urban emigration. Dhrarmela is the patron god of Zatushka.

*'''Nazira:''' one of the oldest Tajaran settlements, resting on the shadow of Adhomai’s tallest mountain. Nazira is on the doorstep of Sana Sahira, serving as a stop-off point for pilgrims and priests. Several inns, hotels, and restaurants exist to serve the constant influx of travelers. Shops selling religious objects, such as icons and amulets, also play a big role in the local economy. The city is home to the oldest surviving S'rand'marr temple in Adhomai, the Temple of the Holy Blessed Suns, with its main structures and reliquary dating back to the Immigration Period.
[[File:Pranuclearplant.jpg|300px|thumb|A nuclear plant in the city of Al'mari.]]
*'''Al'mari:''' the ancestral land of the Hadii dynasty. It holds an important cultural significance for the People's Republic as the cradle of Hadiism. The city houses various museums dedicated to the first revolution and monuments praising the achievements of the PRA and its heroes. The town underwent reconstruction after the first civil war; it was rebuilt following the principles of Republican architecture and meticulous urban planning. Al'mari is the national center of technological development, supported by [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/3/#findComment-144507 high-tech industries], state-run laboratories, and the presence of the space program. The [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Hadii Institute of Orbital Research|Hadii Institute of Orbital Research]] and [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Al'mari College of Hadiist Sciences|Al'mari College of Hadiist Sciences]] are among the city's most prestigious learning institutions.

*'''Fort Hadii:''' a town that can be better described as a massive military complex. Originally a fortress meant to protect the Hadii's lands, it evolved into a robust system of bases, defenses, and garrisons along the northwest section of the Nraz'i mountains. Its military academies prepare aspiring officers to lead, while its training camps prepare conscripts for the realities of war. PSIS agents are supposedly indoctrinated in some hidden compound in Fort Hadii. The civilian population is composed of the family members of the personnel stationed on the base and of those working to supply and offer services to the military presence.

*'''Castle Vladis:''' once the site of an abandoned fortress, the island of Vladis was chosen to be the site of the PRA’s first maximum-security prison: the Try'urma Penitentiary. Due to its isolated position and turbulent waters; the institution has the fame of being inescapable. Common criminals, dissidents, and political prisoners are sent to Try'urma; those who are sentenced to it are rarely seen again. A military base and a small settlement are also present. The inhabitants of the town are the few civilians that are employed in the operations necessary for the maintenance of the government facilities.

*'''Chaniska:''' the last bastion of the People’s Republic in Amohda and a naval base on the southern region of the island. During the war, the vast majority of the native population fled to escape PRA control, leaving the city abandoned. The Republican Army was able to halt any armies encroaching on the city. Now, the PRA promotes [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/?do=findComment&comment=147249 resettlement] of the area through a program to entice citizens displaced by the citizenship act to settle in Chaniska. The city is gradually being refilled, and the fishing and shipwright industry is expected to make a massive comeback as migration steadily increases. The area was the site of a tense military stand-off between the PRA and DPRA in 2463. While the DPRA eventually stood down, the rival armies of the two nations continue to glare at each other from their border fortifications.

*'''Klipavayr:''' a mining town in the Rhazar Mountains. It is home to the largest military underground hangar in Adhomai: the Klipavayr airbase. Built into the side of the mountains, the base houses autogyro squadrons and their pilots. Bauxite extraction and aluminum production are staples of the local economy. Klavpavayr is also famous for the Sham-Rhazar, an interwar period resort built atop the summit of one of the nearby peaks. The building is exclusively used by Party members for social and political meetings.

= Architecture =

Hadiist architecture is divided into two notable styles: Interwar Art and Hadiist Classicism.

Interwar Art, also known as Tajaran Futurism, emerged shortly after the First Revolution. This style was marked by the futuristic and hopeful spirit of the young Republic. Its main theme is the admiration for modernity and technology. Its major characteristics are smooth lines, geometric shapes, streamlined forms, and bright colors. While the first Republican buildings were built in this style, Interwar Art fell out of favor after the ascension of President Njadrasanukii Hadii. However, this style is still widely appreciated by the Tajaran community in Biesel.

Developed by architects closely linked to the Party, Hadiist Classicism is an architectural style that emerged during the reconstruction of the city of Al'mari. It is characterized by large buildings, rigid geometrical figures, small windows, solid concrete structures, and a monochrome palette. Its buildings prioritize function over form - the only suitable decoration are propaganda pieces exalting Hadiism. Hadiist Classicism is currently the most popular architectural style in the People's Republic of Adhomai.

== Notable Monuments ==

*'''Palace of the Free Tajara:''' planned after the destruction of the Steeple during the Second Civil War, the Palace of the Free Tajara is the current seat of government of the People's Republic. The Palace is the tallest freestanding structure in Adhomai, with a height surpassing 900 meters. Inaugurated in 2464, it was built with the help of megacorporations. Its main structure is heavily reinforced and a subterranean complex makes sure that the government will continue to work even if the Palace is seriously threatened. The building is overseen by Aparhatchyk, the Artificial Intelligence used in economic analysis; its software was updated and expanded to accommodate its new function by the Institute of Orbital Research. The Republican Guard is responsible for the security of the Palace. The building is also home to a museum dedicated to the history and feats of Hadiism.

*'''Monument to the Fallen Revolutionaries:''' a war memorial and statue dedicated to the First Revolution's revolutionaries located in Tampiska. Inaugurated shortly after the end of the war, the monument depicts a rebel with a rifle staring towards Nal'tor. A large stone tablet at the building base dedicates the memorial to the rebels who fought and died to liberate the city from the nobility. Because of its importance to the Hadiist and Al'mariist causes, the monument was spared from the Second Revolution's destruction. Controlling the statue during the conflict was a matter of national pride; several soldiers died to capture and recapture the memorial.

*'''Temple of the Holy Blessed Suns:''' situated in the city of Nazira, the Temple of the Holy Blessed Suns is the oldest known S'rand'marr temple. Built during the Immigration Age, the building is a large complex made up of several chambers, shrines, libraries, and churches. Thanks to its religious significance, it was spared by combatants during both civil wars. Proposals by the Hadiist Party to turn the temple into a museum proved to be unpopular with the public. Thanks to the effort to digitalize the church's archives, the Temple has public computers with access to its sacred texts.

= Government and Ideology =

The People’s Republic of Adhomai is considered a presidential republic with a single-party system. The leadership and organization are extremely centralized, with all branches of the government and administration answering to the parliament and the president, Njadrasanukii Hadii. The president serves a twelve-year term while also having ample powers, such as being able to issue mandates or dissolve the parliament in cases of emergency. The Party of the Free Tajara, also known as the '''Parizahra Zhahrazjujz Tajara Akzatauzjauna''', is the only and ruling party in the PRA, with its leader always being the elected president. They follow Hadiism as their main ideology, with the objective of securing the Tajaran freedom and place in the galactic community.

Membership of the Hadiist Party is not open. For anyone to become a member, they must be approved by a committee that considers their qualifications and past. Government officials can grant honorary memberships, this is seen as nothing but an honor and does not grant any status or position that a regular Party member would have. Full members of the Party always work in government positions.

== Hadiism ==

Hadiism is an ideology characterized by strong centralized leadership, a one-party system, a rejection of the traditional Tajaran caste system, and the enforcement of a monolithic culture to replace regional identities. Its origins can be traced back to the First Revolution, but its current form was defined by Malik Hadii’s rise to power. Hadiism is extremely authoritarian and concentrates a large amount of power in the hands of the Party and its leaders. The cult of personality of the president is another key element to it; the supreme leader is the unquestionable guide for the entire nation.

The caste system is seen as one of the main obstacles to the future of the Tajara people. It is considered an issue so ingrained in the Tajaran society, that it requires state intervention to solve. The Hadiist solution to this problem is the creation of an artificial unifying culture whose goal is the elimination of any kind of division between the population. This new ideal puts great emphasis on the collective over the individual and undying loyalty to the Party. The new Hadiist Tajara is eager to sacrifice himself for the good of their nation and would never question the decision of his superiors. The desire to break with the burdens of the past extends to the religion to the more radical Hadiists; renouncing one’s belief in the Gods is necessary to recognize that no higher power than the Party exists. While incompatible with the Hadiist ideals, racism is still widespread and is a great hurdle in the process of eradicating the heritage of the caste system.

Hadiism is open to diplomacy with alien powers and is welcoming of megacorporations. In its vision, the Tajara should cultivate a prosperous and friendly relationship with the other species. However, Xeno cultural influence should be closely watched for it might clash with the Hadiist Culture.

=== Schools of Thought ===

*'''Orthodox Hadiism:''' the mainstream form of Hadiism, followed by the majority of the Party. Orthodox Hadiism follows closely the principles of the ideology without deviation. It is resistant to change and seeks to maintain the Party's rule over the Nation at all costs. Its main inspiration comes from the actions and doctrines established by President Hadii; Malik's cult of personality is found in its strongest form here.

*'''Totalist Hadiism:''' even with the ever-present secret police, strict censorship, and other measures to suppress political dissent, some Hadiists believe that the Party should exercise greater control of the society. Totalist Hadiism proposes the total planning and organization of the lives of its citizens according to the needs of the State. The concepts of independence, self-realization, individualism, and personal desires must be forgotten for the sake of the nation; a Tajara's sole purpose is to dedicate themselves to the Hadiist state. This ideal condition can only be reached through the implementation of a non-stop overview and invasive vigilance. [[Notable Tajara#Headmaster Harrrdanim Tyr'adrr|Headmaster Harrrdanim Tyr'adrr]] is the main proponent of this ideology. It finds great support among the ranks of the People's Strategic Intelligence Service. It is the smallest of the schools of thought.

*'''Visionary Hadiism:''' originated from the growing scientific community in the People’s Republic, Visionary Hadiism believes that rapid and radical technological progress is needed for the Hadiist society to reach its goals. The flaws of the Tajaran people can be corrected with the help of revolutionary technologies; science must be used to permanently transform the Tajaran condition. No price is too great during the march of progress, neither nature nor Tajaran lives should stand on the path to greatness. Safe and ethical research is seen as a pointless constraint. Accelerated industrialization of all sectors is dictated as necessary to guarantee the survival of Hadiism against its enemy. Visionary Hadiism advocates for the expansion of the space navy and the establishment of more colonies. Under their vision, the Tajara are destined to populate and conquer the cosmos. The introduction of widespread augmentation is also among its policies; cybernetics implants would erase the concept of disability and inequality from the face of Adhomai. While it advocates for the use of any technology to propel the Tajaran people forward, in the face of the growing scarcity focus has shifted to the rapid expansion of Tesla research. [[Notable Tajara#Minister of Technology Zhuldyz Hadii|Minister of Technology Zhuldyz Hadii]] is the main proponent of this ideology. It finds great support among PRA’s researchers and the orbital fleet command. Visionary Hadiism is the third largest school of thought.

*'''Young Hadiism:''' made up of students and intellectuals, the Young Hadiists are the reformist faction. Despite being unable to directly oppose the Party due to the threat of a political purge, they plan to change the system through gradual reforms. Young Hadiism preaches that authoritarian measures were only temporarily needed to secure the existence and security of the People’s Republic. The Tajara deserve more political rights and freedom; the Party should be the people's protector, not their jailor. Young Hadiists are one of the few to raise concerns about Adhomai's nature being threatened by industrialization. Young Hadiists believe that changes should be cautiously implemented to avoid upsetting society and the government. Ultimately, the Young Hadiists plan to slowly transform the People's Republic into a proper Hadiist democracy. [[Notable Tajara#Minister of Education Kalim Khazdar|Minister of Education Kalim Khazdar]] is the main proponent of this ideology. While originally the second smallest school of thought, as the Hadiist education system has expanded, Young Hadiism has grown to become the second largest school of thought behind Orthodox Hadiism.

== People's Strategic Intelligence Service ==

The People's Strategic Intelligence Service is the main intelligence agency of the People's Republic. In the wake of the revolution that had won the species their independence, the budding government recognized the need for covert operations. Teachers from Sol's [[Solarian Security and Law#The Solarian Interstellar Intelligence Bureau|SIIB]] and equipment were employed to train their agents, which then embedded themselves across Adhomai in anti-government groups, media moguls, law enforcement agencies, and other levels of society to ensure that order was kept and no subversive elements could undermine the new, weak government. Since then, their reliance on humanity has grown weak, and the agency has established itself as a respected and feared intelligence service.

Several agents and informants are employed by the PSIS, both in domestic and foreign theaters. The agency makes use of espionage, sabotage, assassination, interrogation, blackmail, and all other sort of subterfuge, during their operations. Subversive elements within the People's Republican are dealt with quickly, usually through night raids and abductions conducted with the aid of black unmarked cars. Tajara residing in other systems are not truly safe from the Intelligence Service, as they are known to deploy their agents against off-world targets. Hadiist spies, enforces and collaborators are present in [[Mendell City|Mendell City's district six]], carrying out orders or watching their fellow Tajara.

During the Second Revolution, the People's Strategic Intelligence Service was deployed in occupied territory to persecute anyone who was offering resistance or was suspected of doing so. Tens of thousands were killed or imprisoned by the secret police. Families of suspected guerilla fighters and dissidents were held hostage to force the suspects to surrender or come out of hiding. The [[Tajaran Military Structures#Republican Army (People's Republic of Adhomai)|Grand People's Army]] frequently collaborated with their operations under the guise of anti-partisan actions. Many community leaders, family members, and politicians remain "disappeared" by the PSIS.

===Blade Dame Division===

Known only through document leaks, the Blade Dame Division is a group of heavily augmented assassins. Its members are picked from female orphanages and supposedly brainwashed to be totally loyal to the Hadiist Party. They are equipped with experimental augments that favor stealth operations, including retractable blades concealed in the forearms and fingertips; subdermal ballistic armor patches; concealed guns installed in the knees and wrist; and a fully internal tesla spine prototype. Due to the nature of the augmentations, they are indistinguishable from a non-augmented Tajara to the naked eye. Rumors claim that the Blade Dames are also operating in Tau Ceti.

== Law ==

The Hadiist justice system is heavily centralized and relies solely on written law. The code is biased toward protecting the Party’s rule and its position as the ultimate authority in the Republic. Courts are presided by judges chosen through Party appointment, with the presence of Hadiist model citizens selected as the jury when needed. Lawyers are always appointed by the state to work on cases; it is impossible for anyone to hire a professional of their choice. All advocates are required to work for the government in order to practice their profession.

Law enforcement in the People’s Republic is the responsibility of the National Police Department, an organization under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This agency is tasked with keeping the peace and investigating crimes. The Hadiist police force is the best equipped in Adhomai, but much of its efforts are hindered by the underlying corruption present in the government.

== International Relations ==
The international relations of the People's Republic is handled by the Ministry of External Affairs. Diplomatic missions are wide and varied, whether they are the many ambassadors and consulars found across the Spur, aid missions set to improve the image of the Republic, or meetings to secure new deals with the megacorporations and other nations. Consulars of the Ministry of External Affairs are recruited, trained, and managed by the People's Diplomatic Service. Protection is performed by the Parizahra Aasii branch of the National Police Department. Officers assigned to the Horizon may hold the rank of '''Nalket''', '''Rhazket''', or '''Sil'Dranalket'''.

*'''[[Republic of Biesel]]:''' among the Tajaran nations, the People’s Republic of Adhomai has the strongest diplomatic ties with the Republic of Biesel. Thanks to NanoTrasen influence and support of the Hadiist government during the Second Revolution, Tau Ceti is considered a close ally. Following the signing of the [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/6/#findComment-165950 Mendell Protocol], these ties have only strengthened with the defensive pact. The Orbital Fleet sent an expeditionary force to aid Tau Ceti during the Solarian invasion of 2462.

*'''[[Sol Alliance]]:''' once an ally and direct supporter of the People’s Republic, relations between both states quickly deteriorated after a space skirmish in 2461. Despite the diplomatic reopening following the lifting of the Second Tajara Ban, the events before the Solarian collapse forced the PRA to finally cut all ties with Sol. There is no reconciliation on sight as the People’s Republic continues to supposedly fund the Tajara Revolutionary Army in the Wildlands and Sol continues to uphold the Third Tajara Ban

*'''[[Nralakk Federation]]:''' as part of the S'rand'marr Coalition, the Nralakk Federation dispatched peacekeepers and humanitarian aid to the People's Republic during the conflict. Despite initially recognizing all Tajaran factions due to the Armistice, the Federation now only recognizes the People's Republic as the rightful Adhomian faction. The collaboration between the governments is usually done through the joint development of technologies and information exchanges. The Federation currently sees the PRA as the best choice for Adhomian stability.

== Flag ==

The People's Republic Flag is based on the Hadii dynasty standard used during the First Revolution. The flag uses the colors of the revolutionary movements, with red representing the sacrifices made during the civil war, black the equality among all Tajara, and gold the natural riches of Adhomai. The flag has a Twin Suns Icon on the center symbolizing the People's Republic's rule over all Adhomai.

= Military Forces =

The People's Republic Military is composed of the [[Tajaran Military Structures#Republican Army (People's Republic of Adhomai)|Grand People's Army]], the [[Tajaran Military Structures#Republican Navy (People's Republic of Adhomai)|Republican Navy]], the [[Tajaran Military Structures#People's Air Force (People's Republic of Adhomai)|People's Air Force]] and the [[PRA Orbital Fleet Structure|Orbital Fleet]]. The Grand People’s Army is the ground army of the PRA; it is formed by large divisions of mechanized infantry, armored platoons, and artillery teams. While being equipped with the best that the Adhomian industry can provide, the Republican army suffered from low morale and a lack of properly trained officers in the Second Revolution. A draft was instated from 2458 to 2464, replacing the volunteer model army following high casualty rates, requiring all Tajara between 18-30 to enlist, unless they were able to pay a fee, prove that they are a member of the party or that they are employed under the NanoTrasen Corporation. With the signing of the Armistice, the Republican Military has gone through an extensive reform period with the lessons learned from their failures in the war.

The Republican Orbital Fleet is the pride of the People’s Republic military, as it is the strongest space navy among the warring factions of Adhomai. While used to defend the system and used to impose a blockade against the other factions, the Fleet was able to extract a costly victory in a skirmish against Solarian forces in S'rand’marr.

= People's Republic of Adhomai =

Led by [[Notable Tajara#President Njadrasanukii Hadii|President Njadrasanukii Hadii]], the Peoples 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.
[[Image:Minimap pra.png|thumb|A closer image focusing on the factions surrounding the People's Republic of Adhomai's territory.]]

= History =

The People's Republic of Adhomai was established in 2431 as the sole ruling government in Adhomai following its victory in the First Revolution. With the popular leader Al'mari Hadii as their first president, they were able to enact deep reforms, such as the distribution of land, the establishment of state schools, and healthcare. Despite the recent changes, the planet of Adhomai was still bound to humanity and NanoTrasen, a relation that brought several benefits, but caused resentment among most supporters of the Hadiist ideology, as they believed that the Tajaran species could only be truly free if they were allowed to make their own path without the interference of the alien.

In 2449, while the royalist rebellion happened in the shadows, Al’mari decided to change his policy in regard to NanoTrasen. New economic policies unfavorable to NanoTrasen were enacted, alongside the denunciations aimed towards humanity’s imperialism and the necessity of a free Adhomai. This new position caused discontentment among many that were gaining profit with the presence of the Megacorporation on the planet.

President Al'mari was assassinated in 2451, one year after the royalist rebellion in Northern Harr'masir exploded. Al'mari's brother, Njadrasanukii Hadii, took over the office of the presidency while rolling back the economic reforms implemented two years prior. The head of the armed forces, Nated'Hakhan, attempted a failed coup with the support of many other generals, triggering the creation of the Adhomai Liberation Army.

The following ten years were marked by the Second Revolution; the conflict between the People’s Republic of Adhomai, the Adhomai Liberation Army, and the New Kingdom of Adhomai. During this period, several authoritarian measures were enacted by the government, such as the establishment of working camps for subversive elements and increased persecution of the Ruvska’ard or those from rebellious regions. Despite the presence of a strong economy and modern army, the PRA found themselves in a disadvantageous position in the war during 2461, losing important territories and battles. Without the support of the Sol Alliance, lost due to the recent friction caused by their poor relations, many feared that the People’s Republic may not survive in the upcoming years. Saved due to a coalition of allied alien states and mercenaries, the People's Republic was able to survive the conflict and secure peace through an armistice. Despite losing supremacy over Adhomai, they still control wealthy and populated territories and possess a better standing with the overall galactic community.

Post-war reality has seemed a bittersweet view. The PRA’s industrial might and strong hand have guided it to a prosperous growth in recent times. It has grown to be the shining jewel of Adhomai. However, times seem uncertain. The shortage of phoron has begun to seep into the nation, threatening the already fragile house of cards. As President Njadrasanukii Hadii grows old, many in the upper echelons fear the coming storm may only be worsened by a stagnating economy. With the Spur in a place of decline, there is little perceived help from beyond. The future, to those who dare pay attention to the warning signs behind the propaganda, is tumultuous.

= Culture and Society =

The Republican government seeks to create a single monolithic culture for the Tajara under the ideological vision of Hadiism. The suppression of the ethnic caste system installed by the previous noble rule is one of the goals of the People’s Republic that has been reached with little success, as such divisions are still deeply entrenched in the Tajaran people. The republican culture places a large emphasis on the importance of the collective over the individual interest, with each Tajara being considered as a piece in the machinery of the Tajaran society. PRA citizens are educated on the importance of preserving their union and how factionalism is dangerous to their own species.

Deviation from the established cultural and societal expectations can result in ostracization by the population and government. Regional identities and other alternative trends are suppressed and deemed as subversive. Due to such, M'sai, Zhan, and Ruvska'ard communities are often persecuted by the authorities and have an overall negative image before the eyes of the Republican masses. Loyalty to the Hadii party is a common trait among the citizens of the Republic, as much of the recent success and conquests of the Tajara species can be attributed to the popular leader Al'mari Hadii and his ideals. The fear of the secret service is also a present factor among the urban population of the PRA cities, especially as unrest from the economic downturn spreads across less fortunate cities.

Rural life is remarkably different from that of their urban counterparts. Communal farms necessitate a simple and disciplined lifestyle. Farmers wake early to fill their quotas. Most farms utilize basic mechanization permitting shorter work hours. While previous advanced farms using human technology had the shortest work hours, with some using semi-automated equipment, the shortage of phoron has led to many augmenting the struggling technology with hard labor.

Those in the resource extraction industry, such as mining or logging, have stable hours comparable to factory workers. Corporate operations have above average wages and other wide-reaching benefits afforded by NanoTrasen. Even as the phoron shortage grips the PRA, corporate mines hold a high priority in the phoron rationing program. As such, they are highly sought after positions by those fleeing the unemployment of the cities. State-run operations are very stable, promising a consistent wage, hours, food, and on-site housing albeit at below average pay, and little upward mobility.

Ruralities across the PRA have been experiencing an unexpected rise in immigration from urban centers. Due in large part to high unemployment, overstrained welfare, and overbearing secret police, many unemployed Tajara have chosen to find new opportunities among the wide open plains of the Hadiist countryside. This has led to tension between the urbanites and ruralites. The food shortages already present in rural regions continue to be worsened by the growing population, and rural centers struggle to account for the increased demand in housing. Those from the ruralities are known to be more conservative, however devoted Hadiists thanks to the benefits afforded by the Republic.

Urban life in the PRA varies based on the Tajara’s occupation, education, and standing with the Party. Most cities are built on a strong blue-collar population working the numerous state and corporate run factories. State-run factories boast stable but strict work hours. Eight or nine hour work schedules are observed, with 1 day of the week free. These factories provide free meals and average but stable salaries. Corporate-run factories boast a variety of work hours, although the average are 8 hour work schedules with two days free. Despite having a higher than average salary, it is highly dependent on the factory being in operation, and does not afford the free meals found in State-run factories. As phoron rationing leads to less operational hours for corporate-factories, this has led to unsteady paychecks. Party members, researchers, military officers, and other educated professionals usually have access to more services and luxuries, including increasingly unaffordable human-produced goods. Political dynasties, such as the Hadii, occupy the echelons of Republican urban society, controlling the industry and government. Criminal organizations are a growing presence in the cities, controlling legal and illegal businesses. Many less fortunate Tajara become mules and frontmen for the black market phoron trade, or the growing drug market.

A notable unemployed population is growing in many of the major cities. With corporate-run factories slowing operations, cutting staff, or outright shutting down, numerous factory workers have become dropped in a slim job market. Being reliant on an overstrained welfare program, life is spent between servings at the soup kitchen and spartan conditions in brutalist communal apartments. Few cities have begun to slow the momentum of the rising unemployment through rapid expansion of state-run factories, while the remaining suffer from growing unrest, lethargic government services, and increasing emigration from urban to rural centers.

The Republic affords its citizens a robust education system. Primary through secondary education are compulsory across the nation. All children are given a political education on the principles of and loyalty to Hadiism alongside typical courses. While traditionally all kids would go through secondary school, then enter post-secondary education or enter the workforce, [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/7/#findComment-182543 recent initiatives] by the Party have segmented secondary education into three categories: trades, arts, and higher education. Children are assigned the trades, the arts, or preparatory schooling based on a series of tests. Children are able to transfer to different schools if their performance is not sufficient in their assigned school.

Republican loyalists commonly greet each other by saying: "Hadii's grace, comrade".

Extended families are common in rural communities, while being less prevalent in urban centers. Couples leave their parents' homes after marriage, usually moving to a state-issued apartment. Due to the population loss caused by the conflict, there are incentives, such as tax cuts, welfare benefits, and better homes, for couples to have children. Despite the traditional Tajara family still being the basic unit of the PRA society, the government is trying to change it. Daycare centers aimed to fully raise children in the Hadiist principles have begun to be tested; in these facilities, the contact with the biological parents is minimal in favor of treating the individual as part of a bigger system. Some visionary hadiists have considered replacing biological reproduction with more technologically advanced alternatives, such as cloning or extending one's life with augmentation.

Due to the Hadiist revolutionary thought and the rejection of the older order, there is a policy of total gender equality. Female and male Tajara have the same rights, with the state making no distinction in any of its fields, including the military. The conscription, such as the one called in 2458, calls all able citizens regardless of gender. This practice allows the PRA to bolster its forces without affecting the workforce during wartime. Marriages are often seen as a formality to create a family, with the religious part being separated from the civil one. Same-sex marriage is not recognized by the Hadiist state, but some Young Hadiists have been campaigning for such. Transgender Tajara may have an easier time in the Hadiist society due to its vision of gender, but the medical technology and support are still in their early stages.

Due to the lingering prejudice, the overall Hadiist society considers relationships between different ethnicities to be negative. While the government places no official sanction on mixed couples, older officials will often discriminate. Visionary and Young Hadiists believe that the government should promote mixed relationships to further dismantle the Njarir caste system.
== Religion ==

The People’s Republic of Adhomai possesses no official religion, as it is a secular state by its constitution. Most of the population identify themselves as followers of the S'rand'marr Worship or the Ma’ta’ke pantheon. Irreligious and atheists tendencies are growing each day, as many Hadiists consider the traditional religions as fictitious chains created by the old Njarir masters to control their serfs.

Despite being in the territory of the PRA, the holy city of Sana Sahira enjoys a large degree of freedom from the centralized authority of the state. Foreign missionaries are permitted in the Republican territory, but their activity and presence are closely monitored by the authorities.

== Language ==

Siik’maas is recognized as the official language of the People’s Republic of Adhomai, used in all official documents and taught in schools. The use and learning of other Tajaran languages are discouraged by the education system that works to establish a single universal tongue for all of its population. Siik'tajr is used exclusively by the military and is not allowed to be taught to non-active military personnel. Speaking and teaching Delvahhi, Ya'ssa, or Nal'rasan as a People's Republic citizen is currently a crime. For children, it is child abuse as the state argues that these languages perpetuate negative cultural values and lead to worse lives for children. For adults, speaking these languages is considered harassment and teaching is incitement to crime. Heavy fines are used to enforce this and on repeat offences criminals may face prison time. Human languages do not face similar punishments as they are deemed important to Tajaran economic success abroad.
== Cuisine ==

After the great war, the great majority of the land was confiscated from the nearly extinct Adhomian nobility and distributed among the peasant population. Complex agricultural projects and farms run directly by the State were attempted. Early results were less than favorable and caused dissatisfaction in the rural population who chafed under overbearing bureaucrats who skimmed their yields to sell on the black market. Al'mari Hadii attempted to break this up shortly before his assassination. Njadrasanukii Hadii took his brother's project on and allowed more freedom to the peasants while adopting modern human farming equipment offered by NanoTrasen. Mechanized agriculture is a growing phenomenon in the republic’s territory, albeit a double edged sword.

Many of the mechanized farms reliant on NanoTrasen technology have begun to feel the heavy weight of phoron dependency. The phoron rationing system within the Hadiist Republic has led to increasingly bitter rivalries between different agricultural communities, and a decline in production of staple crops. While many lesser farms or those that were forced to wait for less efficient Hadiist alternatives have continued with less concern, their potential yields have led to a lower priority within the government, a stance still maintained despite the clear warning signs against the phoron-dependent farms.

Due to a lethargic bureaucratic system, and mismanagement of resources, the food shortage is rarely felt in the city where many supply lines lead. Rural regions, however, commonly experience food shortages. In attempts to smooth over the unsteady presence of crops, many families plant small gardens at home. Other individuals wanting more variety, and willing to work with unscrupulous businesses, can find all manner of food smuggled back from the cities to the ruralities on the black market.

While the People’s republic territory includes several different regional cultures, it is possible to find common culinary traditions among its population. Bread, baked with flour produced from a variation of the Blizzard Ears, is considered an essential part of a worker’s breakfast. Salt-cured Fatshouters’ meat also has been introduced widely, facilitated by the recent advances in livestock husbandry techniques. Canned food and alien goods are an uncommon sight in republican cities, imported by NanoTrasen’s subsidiary Getmore. The technological advances provided by the revolution allowed the population to have contact with more exotic dishes, besides granting more freedom of creation to Tajaran chefs, now that electricity and refrigeration are not only restricted to the nobility.

=== Notable Dishes ===

*'''Zkah'nkowa:''' a canned variety of the Fatshouter Bloodpudding, known for its low-fat content and lighter color. It was created shortly after the First Revolution to ease the food shortage after the conflict. Its low cost and nutritious value allowed it to become a staple of the Hadiist diet.

*'''Rikazu:''' small pies, often hand-sized, usually made by folding dough, overstuffing of fruit and cream cheese; commonly served hot. The simple preparation makes it a fast favorite, and the versatility of the ingredients has gained favor with Tajara of all creeds. Different variations of Rikazu pop up all over Adhomai, some filled with meats, or vegetables, or even imported ingredients, like chocolate filling.

*'''Sarmikhir:''' a fat sour-tasting cream made from Fatshouters' milk. Sarmikhir is mainly used as a spread; Adhomian bread is habitually consumed with it during the Hadiist breakfast. The cream is also used as a condiment and blended with salads and soups. Sarmikhir is sold at room temperature in cans or wrapped in foil.

=== Notable Beverages ===

*'''Victory Gin:''' considered the official drink of the People's Republic of Adhomai, Victory Gin was created to celebrate the end of the revolution. It is commonly found in NanoTrasen’s stations, due to a contract that allows the government to supply the corporation, and in the Tajaran communities of Tau Ceti. The destruction of Victory Gin's bottles and reserves was widespread when Republican positions and cities were taken by the opposition as the drink is deemed by many as a symbol of the Hadiist regime.

*'''Hro'zamal Soda:''' a soft drink made from the seed's powder of the Hro'zamal Ras'Nifs, a plant native to [[Hro'zamal]]. While initially consumed as an herbal tea by the colonists, it was introduced to Adhomai by the Army Expeditionary Force and transformed into a carbonated drink. The beverage is popular with factory workers and university students because of its stimulant effect. Much of Hro'zamal's agriculture was switched to planting the crops needed to supply soda production.

*'''Khlibnyz:''' a fermented beverage produced from Adhomian bread. Herbs, fruits, and tree sap can be added for flavoring. It is considered a non-alcoholic drink by Adhomian standards because of its very low alcohol content. Khlibnyz was mainly consumed by peasants during pre-contact times and is still very popular with the Hadiist rural population. Communal farms brew their own Khlibnyz and sell it to the government for distribution. The drink was involved in a controversy when the People's Republic tried to export it to human colonies as a soft drink, unaware of the alien standards.

=== Military Nutrition ===

The republican army is the best equipped among the warring factions of Adhomai, being supplied by NanoTrasen and other outworld supporters. Canned goods and modern rations are issued to all branches of the Republic’s military. Native field meals are composed of salt-cured Fatshouters’ meat, bread, and Victory Gin. Imported liqui-food rations, once a lucrative business for NanoTrasen, has become disfavorable as the cost of import rises above the cost of home production.

== Fashion ==

Having direct and friendly contact with humanity, The People's Republic of Adhomai has been the most influenced by the spacer fashion. The most known is the "assistant jumpsuits" which directly inspired the design of factory overalls, the plight and low pay of the assistants are close to the hearts of Hadiist Tajara and their Republic. However, outside of work attire, the Republic has attempted to quell humanization, preferring and encouraging simple and natural colors for civilians, hoping to stifle any thoughts that someone's neighbor has it better than them. One interesting rise is in the nylon industry. Nylon being stretchy, accommodating, and see-through yet very warm makes it the perfect wear for any Tajara, mainly soldiers and dockers who spend hours outside in the cold biting environment. However with the vast majority of nylon originating from the corporations, it has become a high-priced commodity.

Tail adornments have recently become very unpopular, being quoted as a "Reminder of the shackles the Njarir had on us", yet still the younger Tajara who do not remember the rebellions have taken a liking to these. Piercings are also popular with youngsters, who have observed this behavior from humans. Curiously it has also become common among soldiers and outlaws who pierce their skin with gold, silver, or coinage. This way one can hide a substantial amount of money under their fur.

Fur dye was once a banned item within the People's Republic. Seen as a symbol of loyalty to the nobility, thanks to its historical use, many who fought for the revolution found a disdain of the practice. It was only until President Malik Hadii unbanned fur dyes that the practice saw a resurgence. While the official record stated that such practices were unbanned for the use by soldiers and true Hadiists to symbolize their patriotism, the truth lies not far away. Convicts, test subjects, and all manner of those under the control of the Republic's Ministries find their backs marked with dye for identification and, importantly, to prevent escapees from hiding. Regardless, modern use of fur dye among the populace is largely for practical or patriotic reasons. Self-expression is a growing trend in the cities, however great scrutiny is placed on what these expressions display by the National Police Department.

=== President Hadii Badges ===

President Hadii badges are metal pins and medals bearing the image of Njadrasanukii Hadii. Created during the dawn of the First Revolution, these objects were crafted and worn by the Hadiist to identify themselves in opposition to Nated. The first ones were made with crude materials. In the early stages of the Hadii cult of personality, badges were only officially issued to celebrate events and special dates. In the later moments of the Second Revolution, they were mass fabricated and used as displays of loyalty to the Party. A thousand variations exist; some models are exclusively sold to tourists visiting the PRA. Some individuals are known to collect them.

== Music ==

The music in the People’s Republic of Adhomai typically deals with patriotic themes; focusing on the political struggles of the Tajaran people and the great accomplishments of the Party and President Hadii. While folk instruments are still widely present, it is not uncommon for alien techniques to be used in musical productions. Artists can only perform in public areas and publish their works with the express approval of the government. Censorship is a common obstacle that many producers encounter. [[Notable Tajara#Yasmin Piaf|Yasmin Piaf]] is one of the most famous Republican artists.

Hadiist war songs during the first years of the second civil war used to boast about their technological and numerical superiority, claiming that the rebels would be swiftly crushed. During the later stages of the conflict; the theme quickly changed to call for the steadfast defense of the Republican lands and the preservation of their nation before the advancing enemy.

=== National Anthem ===

The current People's Republic's national anthem was chosen shortly after the ascension of President Hadii to power. The song portrays Malik's rule as reinvigorating and as the rightful continuation of Al'mari's government.

<poem>
The flag is moving in the morning sky,
With our first step as important as the winds,
Do they hear the winds, rustling again?
The winds of mighty attacks!

And our march is going on again!
And the heart is uneasy in our chest,
And the Republic is young again!
And the youth of Hadii are young again!
Now our march is going on again!
And the Republic is young again!
And the youth of Hadii are young again!

Don't wait on mercies from the Sun!
Don't spare their lives for truth!
In this life, comrades,
We have our own truth!

There are heat and snow in this world,
The world is young and rich,
The youth of Hadii is with them!

== Literature ==

Literature in the People’s Republic is heavily regulated and influenced by the Party. To secure government control over the field the '''Tajaran Union of Writers''' was established, an organization responsible for dictating the writing norms and acceptable contents of any book. All texts must be approved by the Union before being published, as publishing a work without official permission is considered a crime punishable with imprisonment. The government maintains a long list of banned works, that mostly includes pre-contact books and anything conflicting with the Hadiist’s values. Possession of banned texts is penalized with detention and re-education classes.

The current Party-supported school of literature is known as Hadiist Realism. This movement focuses on the condition of the Tajara people, the Republican struggle against the other two factions, and rebel stories from the First Revolution. Writers must portray the common Tajara as a heroic individual guided by the Party. Despite the support of the state towards literature, it has only found some moderate success within the urban population. Rural Tajara still see books with suspicion due to their association with the nobility.

=== Notable Books ===

*'''Hadiist Manifesto:''' a political document supposedly written by Al’mari Hadii after the First Revolution. It is regarded as the foundation of the Hadiist Ideology. It presents an analysis of the Tajaran situation post-conflict and how they could secure their future in the galaxy. Its reading is mandatory in all Republican schools and copies can be found in most homes and public buildings.

*'''The Tajara Without Sun:''' a self-published alternate history novel, set in a world where the People’s Republic won the Second Revolution. The book depicts a dystopian Adhomai under the totalitarian rule of President Hadii; a future where all aspects of life are fully controlled by the Hadiist Party. Due to rampant industrialization, the skies are covered by black smog that blocks any sunlight from reaching the planet. The work is famous for a scene where President Hadii orders the cyborgification of all Ruvska'ard Tajara. Due to its criticism of the Party, the book is banned. Its author is currently unknown; their real identity is subject to much speculation. Copies are commonly found in the black market or in the hands of Non-Republican Tajara.

*'''Summer Comes to Adhomai:''' a Hadiist Realist novel set during the First Revolution. The book tells the story of a young Hharar farmer involved in the revolt against the nobility. Later in the story, the protagonist encounters the forces of Al’mari and joins his army in his conquest of Adhomai. The text praises the bravery of the revolutionaries and depicts Hadiism as the inevitable outcome of the Revolution.

== Television ==

Television is one of the most popular forms of mass media in the People’s Republic, owing to the Tajaran traditions of theater and oral storytelling. All channels are currently under the strict control of the government. While a majority of the programs are Adhomian-made, few select alien shows are allowed after passing by the Party-approved editing and translation. Television is considered a powerful propaganda tool by the Hadiist Party. Soap operas, films, and news are made to teach republican ideals and reinforce President Hadii's cult of personality. Actors are selected for their roles depending on their standing with the Party.

Telenovelas are well-received by the Republican audience. Hadiist shows are usually focused on the daily Tajaran life and period pieces set during the First Revolution. PRA television is infamous for interrupting the regularly scheduled programs to broadcast President Hadii’s speeches.

=== Notable Shows ===

*'''Comrade Rafama and Friends:''' an animated series aimed towards the younger audience. This shows attempts to teach the principles of Hadiism through characters based on Adhomian animals. The protagonist, Comrade Rafama, is the embodiment of the ideal Hadiist citizen; he and his many friends are always eager to apply the teachings of the Republican ideology to resolve any problem that they may come across. The cartoon’s popularity outside of Adhomai exploded after the introduction of Cool Schlorrgo; a character meant to represent the PRA loyalist forces in Hro’zamal.

*'''Midnight in Shastar City:''' a spy-thriller series focusing on the life of Comrade Konon, a fictional PSIS agent going undercover in the Adhomai Liberation Army. The show follows a rigid format where the protagonist is involved in a different operation every episode, ends trapped in a death-and-life situation, and then escapes using some kind of ingenious gadget or makeshift solution.

*'''Tears on the Snow:''' one of the longest-running Adhomian telenovelas, it is focused on the history of a Tajara family through modern Tajaran history. The plot started with the first revolution and is currently situated in the period after Al’mari’s death. The show is known for its large cast of characters and over-the-top dramatic situations.

== Radio ==

Radio has a long history with the People's Republic, as it was widely used by rebels during the First Revolution. While it is quickly losing ground to television, it is still popular with the rural population. In a similar manner to other mass media outlets, the radio is heavily regulated and censored. All major stations are controlled by the People’s Republic and serve as propaganda vehicles for the Party. Amateur radios are allowed to operate after acquiring the proper license, but their channels are closely monitored by the Secret Service. Several jamming stations were built to prevent Hadiist citizens from listening to broadcasts made by the other Adhomian states. Number stations are common in the People's Republic, some have clear goals, like counting the time until curfew, while others' intended purposes remain unclear.

Outside of Party endorsed music, radionovelas stand out in the Republican radio scene. Spy thrillers, war stories, and melodramas are the most prevalent genres in these shows.

=== Notable Radio Stations ===

*'''The Voice of the Tajaran People:''' the national network of the PRA, focused on the political life in the country. It is considered the major source of news about the country and outside affairs on the radio. President Hadii is known to transmit all of his speeches through this channel. It is a tradition in communal farms for Tajara to gather around the radio to listen to what their leader has to say every afternoon.

*'''KGTW-11:''' a radio station geared towards music and other sources of entertainment. Sports, fashion, television shows, and more are discussed by the hosts. Despite the seemingly apolitical nature of this channel, they are also under constant vigilance by the secret police in case they transmit any anti-Hadiist message. Yasmin Piaf is the main star of this network.

== National Holidays ==

The Party maintains its own set of state-approved holidays to be celebrated by the citizens of the Republic. Even in the harshest years of the war, these holidays were celebrated in full extravagance.

*'''Establishment of the People’s Freedom and Memorial Day (March 4th):''' also known as Victory Day, this PRA holiday is centered around the founding of the People’s Republic of Adhomai following the First Revolution. It begins with a President’s speech congratulating the loyal citizens of the republic for keeping up their ideals bestowed by the revolutionaries and the Party. Ceremonies are held in cities in respect to the various heroes of the Republic and Al’mari Hadii, who are given a full memorial in the form of a state funeral service before the Palace of the Free Tajara in Nal’tor. Military parades to show off the Republic’s advancements and might are held within major cities. The Social Harmony Committee of D6 hosts their ceremony and parade with PRA veterans in front of the Hadii Living Complex.

*'''Presidential Honoring and Respect Anniversary (May 30th):''' held on President Njadrasanukii Hadii’s birthday (unofficially known as President’s Day) this holiday had only officially become one at the beginning of the Second Revolution. When President Hadii’s cult of personality grew into the power that it is today, he had seen fit to declare his birthday a holiday within the PRA. During this day, a lengthy ceremony is held in the capital to celebrate President Hadii’s guidance of the PRA into the future and prosperity. This ceremony includes performances from the Grand People’s Army orchestra, personal accounts from military officers on President Hadii’s great leadership, and stories from the older generations who speak highly about how Hadiism improved Adhomai. D6’s party halls fill up during this time to screen recordings of the ceremony. Normally, to make full use of their payments, the organizers of these screenings hold dances afterward.

==Hadii's Youth Clubs==

Hadii's Youth Clubs are a recent reorganization by the current Minister of Education, Kalim Khazdar, of the much older Youth Brigades. After the armistice was signed, it soon became clear that the war-oriented Youth Brigades were no longer suitable for the young citizens of PRA. Thus Hadii's Youth Clubs were established, focusing more on education, good manners, and proper political behavior. Children from ages three to seventeen can enroll in a youth club, with the youngest members often being given to the care of the girls in the clubs.

Members of these clubs are easy to spot due to their uniforms. The boys are equipped with blue shorts, or pants during winter, white shirts, and bright orange cravats. Meanwhile, the girls are required to wear blue skirts, white long-sleeved shirts, and bright blue cravats. This uniform is a carry-over from the Youth Brigades, with one exception being the color of the shirt as it was changed from red to white. Children in these clubs often try to collect "good deeds" into their assigned logbooks. These deeds range from carrying groceries to the old, visiting an industrial powerplant, or conducting a course in political mannerisms. This of course isn't the only activity, as they are often given free time to play team sports, hike, or engage in "Pretend War".

The HYC is self-organized, with a civilian Party member being able to function as an overseer. Thanks to this change, even the most remote places are now able to provide their kids with after-school activities. Still, certain seniority exists, as the biggest HYC groups are pre-established and reorganized Youth Brigades, with most members still consisting of previous Youth Brigadiers. Notable youth clubs include; Young Ras'neers, Nal'Tor Volunteer Youths, and the controversial Rhazar Mountaineers, composed entirely of settled Rock Nomad children.

== Sports ==

The PRA shortly after its establishment quickly began to rewrite and re-interpret the rules and ways Tajara played sports. Much of the old nobility’s games were remade to serve the wider Tajara people. Men and women in parks played board games replicating the conquest of Adhomai, farehal loops were made in playgrounds for children to play in, and mahmrro clubs were founded and started underneath the Hadii authority. Nowadays the state has a vested interest in promoting games to youth. Especially with increasing urbanization, [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/?do=findComment&comment=157462| programs] were initiated to promote activeness in children to not just keep them fit but away from unwanted or illegal activities. Sports are taught to all Republican children as not a way to compete but to work with others. Tournaments do not have winners or champions and all players are congratulated for their participation.

Farehal is considered a child’s sport in the PRA. Board games became a big trend in the interwar period and saw the creation of several tabletop games, many of which also drifted into Little Adhomai. Mahmrro clubs in the PRA are run by the state as a means to encourage physical fitness in the population. Such examples are the Hadiist Youth clubs. There are no private clubs and what national teams there aren’t on the basis of any city or region but instead army branches and government ministries. The most well-known teams are the Republican Army Artillerymen, composed of veterans from the Army; The Ministry of Education Club, made of physical fitness teachers; And the Intelligence Services MC, a club for members of the PSIS. Other teams include the Naval MC, the MC Kosmosnaut, and the Ministry of Technology MC, which are considered the worst due to their low win/loss ratio.

== Crime ==

Crime in the People's Republic usually takes the form of bribery, smuggling, and [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/6/#findComment-169015 paper forgeries]. Violent crime is relatively uncommon and is harshly oppressed by the Hadiist police force. Because of its oversized and Party dominated bureaucracy, governmental corruption is widespread. The criminal underground is dominated by groups focused on forging documents and running illegal goods. Many Party members are involved in these organizations; authorities commonly obtain a share of their profits by turning a blind eye to their activities. This situation is known to the high echelons of the Party, but they prefer to only interfere when it aligns with their own motives. A notable rise, and one that carries a high risk, is the black market for phoron. The phoron rationing programs of the PRA have resulted in a lucrative black market for phoron, fueled by pirates and Party members. It is a high risk market, however, as the upper echelons of the Party spare little expense in rooting out those smuggling the precious material.

Speaking against the Party, preaching any other ideology besides Hadiism, possessing unauthorized literature, and lying to Party members are among some of the political crimes that can earn anyone a hefty sentence. The persecution of dissidents is under the responsibility of the People's Strategic Intelligence Service. While the death sentence is generally reserved to members of the Party, victims of purges, or for those suspected of working for other Adhomian powers; most political prisoners are re-educated and later released.

Protests and riots were a very rare sight across the PRA post-revolution. With the consolidation of supplies and resources, the Party was capable of placating the majority of the populace. The small minority of those dissenters were handled easily by the well-funded PSIS. However, with the mounting problems stemming from the economic disruptance caused by the phoron scarcity, protests and dissent have begun to test the limits of the PSIS and NPD. High unemployment, lowering wages, a lethargic and overstrained welfare system, all are causes for unrest in less fortunate urban centers. Ruralities are typically spared the struggles of urban dissent, however they struggle with disruption as less fortunate urbanites flee to the countryside. With a high amount of overcrowding and questionable food safety in rural towns, protests have become a growing problem for local police.

Both common criminals and political dissidents are sent to the same prisons without any separation. This practice is done to promote conflict between both factions to prevent coordination among the convicts. An increasing practice within the Hadiist system is the transfer of those serving life sentences to the Ministry of Technology. This practice is done under the table, as it is not condoned by the Party at large, and has proven to be a boon for certain experiments.

= Economy =

The People’s Republic of Adhomai uses the Adhomian Knuckle (თ) and the Biesel Standard Credit (电/CR) as its main currencies. Out of all Tajaran currencies, the Hadiist Knuckle is currently the most valuable one. Its banknotes are stamped with images of notable Tajara, with President Hadii's visage being the most common one. Commander Nated was once present in early print runs, but most notes bearing his image have been collected by the government; the few pieces that survived are considered valuable collector's items.

The Biesel Standard Credit is accepted everywhere in the People's Republic. This currency is used mainly by the megacorporations and the government. As part of a deal with the Sol Alliance, which was later ratified by the Republic of Biesel following the breakdown of relations, the Hadiist government can print a limited number of Biesellite credits.

Despite being largely rural, the People’s Republic is the faction with the most industrialized economy. While the majority of vital industries are controlled by the government, small private enterprise is still possible in a select number of sectors, as long as governmental permission is granted. The presence of megacorporations in the PRA territory was once a boon to economic growth. Steadily, as trade becomes difficult with the frontier planet and human-made machines degrade without vital phoron, it has become a stagnant component. Many workers still seek out the corporations for jobs off-world or in the growing resource extraction operations, most notably NanoTrasen with [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/7/#findComment-183840 Hephaestus Industries] and Orion Express rapidly expanding.

National party-owned factories answer directly to the government and have Party assigned overseers who decide how to run the production. The typical factory employs assembly lines and simple industrial robots, allowing the People's Republic to make use of their cheap labor and growing educated population. Government owned factories have become the centerpoint of Hadiist construction. Construction of new state-run factories has scaled to attempt to accommodate the rapidly declining corporate-owned factories, with less than stellar results.

Fully mechanized factories equipped with the latest in human machinery were once a growing presence in high-tech areas such as the city of Al’marii. However, this trend dropped off starkly as the Hadiist government began a strict phoron rationing program. Output dropped significantly without the wonder material, and the cost of import equipment far outweighed the potential profits. As such, many high-tech factories have since been abandoned leading to many shortages in cheap luxury goods. Despite this, Hephaestus Industries has become one of few megacorporation to [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/7/#findComment-183840 build more factories] within the PRA. Factories owned by megacorporations are permitted to run as the owner sees fit.

The Hadiist industry consists mainly of a large heavy sector supplemented by a sizable light industry. The People's Republic specializes in producing heavy machinery and processing the natural riches of Adhomai. Consumers' goods are very reliable and simple; megacorporations usually supply most of the luxurious products. These highly sought after luxuries are rarely afforded to all but the upper-class of the Republic thanks to rising import costs. Those lucky enough to save enough credits to afford such luxuries often find the maintenance costs too high, and promptly leave it for disuse. Thanks to the Hadiist investments in research, the technology industry in the PRA is one of the fastest-growing fields.

Hadiist agriculture is organized into collective farms. These farms are administered by councils of local Party members who act as managers who oversee the work for the season and send reports and requests to the central government in Nal'tor. The Party gathers all of the information provided by the farming councils - and all other economic data - and processes them through an older generation Artificial Intelligence, known as Aparhatchyk, purchased from the Republic of Biesel in 2459. This AI, dependent on phoronic technologies, has been a boon to the PRA’s agricultural economy. However, its use has been restricted to select times of the year to help stave off rising operational costs. The ministries of the Republic have begun training to fill-in for these gaps in operations, however the inefficiency and lack of real experience have led to shortages, lower crop yields, nutrient drainage, and an otherwise underperforming economy.

The government sends out directives to the farms, telling them to grow various crops and send requested equipment or additional labor power. The farmer councils then work to implement given orders locally. They do not compete directly with other regions. There is always a diverse yield produced every season. With the severe mismanagement of food supply, many councils take it upon themselves to skim crop yields for redistributing among rural black markets, a practice which typically goes unnoticed or ignored. Despite the illegal nature of it, this black market of crops has led to a thriving underground economy. While farming may be fulfilling to many, this simple life leads Tajara with a yearning to achieve more in life, or escape the rigid conservative life on the farm, to filter into the cities and then into space to find adventure in the greater galaxy.

Several welfare programs exist in Republican states. A common sight in the cities is communal apartment complexes with no rent, allowing the poorest urban dwellers to have a residency when they can not pay their bills. The life inside of those accommodations is devoid of luxuries, as they are built with low-cost materials and can house many families at once. The system has become heavily strained in recent years with the continued economic downturn. Soup kitchens struggle with food supply, a stark difference compared to the well-stocked grocery stores. Many families reliant on the urban welfare programs choose to leave their city and return to the rural farms and mines, or push their offspring to become educated and find a well-paying job off-world in hopes that the salary of a corporate job can return the family to good standing.

While the People’s Republic has not yet reached reliance on phoronic technologies in every sector, the use of the wonder material can be felt in other ways. Namely, the use of megacorporate technologies, factories, and spacecraft. Trade remains a vital part of the Hadiist economy and its immense material output. With the scarcity in full swing across the Spur, trade routes have become less profitable for the Republic and corporations alike. Pay cuts have begun to roll out across almost every industry sans agricultural. The cost of off-world luxury goods continues to rise. Corporate factories, being ever reliant on phoron to outpace the production of Party-owned facilities, have slowed down production and, by extent, worker pay. Lesser regions of the nation, such as those rural towns are smaller cities, have experienced temporary food shortages at times as advanced mechanized farms begin to see declining yields.

In turn with shortages, the Party has enacted a strict phoron rationing program. Recipients are tiered based on importance to national goals, the rate of phoron usage, and other smaller factors. This has led to tension and occasionally competition between organizations that need the precious material. The most notable examples tend to be advanced farming communities vying for phoron before their next harvest. Meanwhile, the Orbital Fleet bemoans the prioritization of academia and research over the operations of the space fleet. The Party condemns the entire debate, stating that the rationing program has been implemented as the nation requires, and that no true citizen of the Republic should feel concern over their allotment of phoron.

== Tourism ==

Tourism in the People's Republic is tightly controlled by the government. The state monopolizes the industry; however, collaboration with megacorporations is widespread. Due to concerns over internal security, only certain areas are available for visitation. The historical cities and the idyllic region of Ras'nrr Heartlands are the main attractions. Religious tourism is also common in the southern Rhazar Mountains, where pilgrims can visit ancient Tajaran temples. While alien tourists suffer no additional restrictions during their stay and can travel to anywhere a Hadiist citizen can, they are constantly watched by the PRA security service.

= Technology =

The People's Republic of Adhomai is the leading force on Adhomai when it comes to technological advancement. Owing to their long history as the only recognized Tajaran government (until recently), the Republic enjoyed assistance from extrasolar entities such as the NanoTrasen Corporation, Republic of Biesel, and even the [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/5/#findComment-159521 Free Tajaran Council]. This has helped the Republic develop advanced medical care and weapons, but most of this advancement is centered around the urban centers in the Republic's territory. Rural areas are typically less well-equipped, and the cost of medevacing injured family members to large cities like Nal'Tor is beyond the average farmer's budget.

These technological advances have come at a cost. Many corporate assisted advances, namely those in the medical field, require the ever dwindling resource of phoron. As a result, fewer and fewer Tajara have been granted access to the highest tiers of technology, rather than having to utilize their lesser but non-phoronic counterparts. This has supercharged the development of Tesla technology, however the inherent limitations of this Hadiist-created field have proven difficult to navigate around.

== Aparhatchyk ==

Aparhatchyk is an older generation AI created in the Republic of Biesel. In 2459, the People’s Republic purchased the AI to fuel its growing economy, and to progress its technological capabilities. While originally used solely for the management of the agricultural and production economy, its use expanded rapidly into numerous military and civilian fields. However, being a human technology, it relies on the use of phoron. Despite the small requirements compared to modern human AIs, the older age of Aparhatchyk has resulted in more frequent maintenance and wear down of the phoronic components. With the rising cost of operation, the AI has begun being used sparingly, with subcomponents of the AI being activated or deactivated throughout the year.

The most notable and widespread use of Aparhatchyk is the economic management subcomponent. This system takes in data from across the PRA. Resource extraction, previous production quotas and results, alongside agricultural yields, and so on. It returns a report on recommended actions for use by the Ministry of Economy and Ministry of Agriculture. This powerful tool has been pinned as the reason for the Republic’s high economic growth in previous years, and the robust industry. However, as this component has a relatively lower necessity to national defence, it has been used increasingly sparingly, forcing the Republic to adapt and train numerous functionaries to try and achieve a fraction of the foresight the machine was capable of.

The Republic’s nuclear arsenal is a vital component of its defensive stance, that being a form of mutually assured destruction. With the advent of the [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/5/#findComment-160314 Skypillar] missile system, the AI was established as the primary controller of these missiles, answerable only to President Hadii himself. As such, this subcomponent of the AI remains the most important system, having never been deactivated regardless of the phoron supply.

Smaller subcomponents, such as the use of Aparhatchyk derivatives in tanks or spacecraft have seen success. Despite the inferior versions having less maintenance and running requirements, the usage of phoron has led many to be removed or temporarily deactivated.

== Civilian ==

Even the average Republican citizen enjoys the technological fruits of the PRA's labor. Automobiles are a common sight, even outside of the major population hubs. With advanced cold-resistant construction and snow tires, your local farmer's pick-up truck is more useful than the previous N'hanzfu-driven carts. Sedans, vans, and large trucks are typical of civilian Tajara, and automobile sales spiked with the end of the war. Never before has the average Tajara citizen been able to enjoy the luxury of automated travel with such ease. Specially designed snow-piercing trains and underground rail systems are a staple and facet of modern urban PRA life. Investment into infrastructure has enabled the PRA to create a wide web of rail and bus systems, including advanced designs such as [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/6/#findComment-167906 maglev trains].

And, after a long day at work and riding public transportation, the typical PRA Tajara can return home to enjoy new advances in the field of telecommunications like their television set. Before the First Civil War, only the nobility had radios, and the populace had to rely on plays and other stage settings for entertainment. Now, not only are radios commonplace in almost every PRA household, but television sets are becoming even more popular. Each family is provided a television by the State, which can view up to at least thirty party-approved channels broadcasting everything from children's cartoons to the State news network. It is in this way that the People’s Republic is able to effectively disseminate propaganda to the masses and in some instances perhaps even spy on them.

Electric stoves, coffee machines, blenders, food processors - so many appliances have been introduced to the Tajara household. One can regularly view commercials on the air directed towards the lady of the house, advertising the next useful kitchen gadget to make her life taking care of her family and husband all the simpler! And for the children, simple wooden toy blocks and animals have been steadily replaced by plastic action figures, electronic video game systems, and even kid-friendly science-oriented learning sets (uranium included). For most families living in large cities, their home life has been irrevocably changed thanks to the Republic's technological superiority.

With their population booming from advances in medical care and home life, the PRA was forced to [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/6/#findComment-169521 invest their money into agriculture and farming equipment as well]. Tractors, tills, combines and other industrial farming mechanisms including auto-farms and culture-controlled greenhouses have supplanted and replaced the slow, old methods. Even small rural farmers no longer have to plant their crops by hand, as farming equipment is loaned by the government to ensure steady food production. A dying generation of old farmhands and ranch owners find their knowledge less and less useful to pass on as machine-assisted farmers outpace the yields of old.

Computers are quickly becoming widespread in the People’s Republic following the armistice. Outside of already being a fundamental part of the state bureaucracy, personal terminals are making their way into the Hadiist homes. Communal farms above a certain crop yield are given a computer linked to the managerial Artificial Intelligence to manage their production.

=== Notable Civilian Vehicles ===

*'''TAI-M1:''' a half-track, sedan-style car manufactured by the national automobile factories in Tampiska. Designed as a simple, cheap car to be mass-produced for the population during the interwar period. The initial plan of giving every Tajaran family an automobile was delayed by the Second Revolution; the constant fighting for Tampiska also interrupted much of the production. The project returned with full force after the Armistice. Able to withstand Adhomai's rough terrain and weather, the TAI-M1 is ubiquitous in PRA's urban and rural areas.

*'''TAI-Volgydoh:''' an executive car designated for Party Members and government officials. The Volgydoh is more spacious and comfortable than the TAI-M1. Early versions were convertible; this feature was discontinued after the assassination of Al'mari. These vehicles are only made in black color. Special models - powered by high-performance engines - are issued to the secret police. Due to the frequent use by the agents of the PSIS, these cars have been an almost constant target of bombing and sabotage attempts by the DPRA during the war, which lends them the nickname of "Coffin". Mentions of the nickname warrant the charge of inciting terrorism.

*'''Bryskavar Tractor:''' an experimental tractor powered by a miniaturized tesla engine. This prototype employs the same technology used by the tesla troopers. The tractor is larger than regular diesel models, but newer models are slowly being subject to improvements to fix this issue. The vehicle is currently being issued to communal farms as part of its testing phase. The initial prototypes were prone to random electric dischargers; another flaw that is being rectified by the Hadiist scientists. The People's Republic of Adhomai plans to apply this development to other vehicles.

== Medical ==

It is not only the military that has benefitted from PRA innovation. Whereas prior to discovery, the life expectancy of the average Tajara worker was around fifty years, now individuals living in hubs like Nal'tor can survive even well into their eighties. A greater understanding of anatomy and medicines have enabled the Tajara people to live longer, healthier lives. Infant death has plummeted, and the production of numerous vaccines have rendered several diseases extinct. Tajara-specific medication is more easily and quickly synthesized, contributing to the decrease in the cost of drugs.

The best in medical equipment, sourced directly from medical giants like Nanotrasen, have become a common sight across urban hospitals. Their use, however, is not as common and remains reserved for Party members and those in critical care. Regardless, your prospects are brighter than before with the advanced, however not as effective, Hadiist equipment. Rural clinics and hospitals, while better equipped now than they ever have been before, often are stocked with second-hand equipment from Urban hospitals. Midwives are still common amongst small towns and villages. Many communities continue to use traditional healing methods. Plans to standardize medical care across the rural communities within the PRA give hope, even if the roll-out is slow and piecemeal.

The most recent advancement for PRA citizens is the production of prosthetics using similar technology as the Tesla Trooper corps. Many veterans of both the First and Second Civil War have had their amputated limbs refitted with these mechanical limbs. The design and technology of these novel Tesla prosthetics can be seen [[#Tesla Prosthetics|here]].

== Military==

Perhaps the largest gap between the three powers on Adhomai is one of military might; the People's Republic has the most advanced military and was the first state with the capability to launch its own ships into space. This gives them a significant advantage over the New Kingdom and the Democratic People's Republic as they can control the space around Adhomai without contest. The Orbital Fleet is a technological marvel achieved in conjunction with human scientists, who provided outside help in the Republic’s efforts to propel Tajara into the stars. The Fleet is not without its drawbacks, however. It remains the highest cost in the Republic’s budget due to the relatively immense phoron usage. As such, fleet operations have become fewer and fewer, a far cry from the impressive operational endurance during the war.

Beyond the Orbital Fleet and the Kosmostrelki that protect the S'rrendmarr system, the PRA was the first government entity on Adhomai to successfully field and maintain nuclear armaments. The most infamous deployment of these weapons was the bomb that atomized Quizosa, resulting in massive casualties. Since this incident and the galactic outrage it caused, the PRA has not used nuclear weapons again - but they have more missiles in storage, and the threat of nuclear fire has brought their enemies to heel in some small capacity.

Veterans of the People's Republic are entitled to Tesla prosthetics as replacements for war wounds, a technology derived from the Republic's fearsome Tesla Troopers. The Republic has not shied away from the mechanical enhancement of its special forces teams, and the aforementioned Tesla Troopers are an example of this. The standard soldier is supplemented with cutting-edge firearms and armor, further empowering their performance in the field. With a great emphasis placed on laser weaponry, heavy armor, military exosuits, and weapons of mass destruction, the PRA military is a force to be reckoned with indeed.

=== Weapons ===

Unlike the other Adhomian factions, the Hadiist military has fully adopted automatic weapons. Their service rifle is the Tsarrayut'yan rifle, a select-fire, automatic rifle. Laser weapons are usually used by high-ranking soldiers or special operatives. Regardless of advances in the small arms field, artillery is the Republican army’s main weapon and pride.

Traditional Tajaran weapons, such as single shot and bolt action rifles, are widespread among the rural population. Those guns are primarily used for hunting or held as heirlooms from the First Revolution. Firearms are far less common in the urban centers, as they are associated with Party officials or gangsters. The purchase and carry of firearms require a permit issued by the government, with the exception being made to the members of the Hadiist Party and weapons that are considered family’s relics. Civilians can only acquire simple pistols, revolvers, and hunting rifles if they can prove a clear purpose for them such as hunting or defense of their shop. Party Membership allows citizens to acquire more powerful equipment, such as submachine guns.

==== Notable Weapons ====

*''' Tui'ad "Icelance" Laser Rifle:''' a clumsy energy weapon of Tajaran design, recharged through cranking. Despite having far less capacity and accuracy than modern laser rifles, the Icelance has proved itself to be adapted to the less advanced battlefields of Adhomai, as charging stations and even electricity can be a rare commodity in the most remote areas of the planet.

*''' Adar'Mazy Pistol:''' mass-produced pistol issued to People's Republic officers, government officials, and low-ranking Party members. Known for its simple, cheap, and reliable design, this weapon is produced by nearly all weapon factories in the Republic. The Adar’Mazy is also found in the hands of Adhomai Liberation Army soldiers and commanders.

*''' Nal'tor Model Pistol:''' given to Republican Commissars and high-ranking Party members, this bulky pistol is notable for its large caliber. Unlike the Adar'Mazy pistol, only a single factory in Nal’tor is allowed to fabricate it; its design is kept as a state secret. Because of its rarity and status, the Adhomai Heavy Pistol was a sought-after war trophy by royalists and rebel forces.

*''' Tesla Glove:''' a tesla-based weapon created by the People's Republic of Adhomai as part of their Tesla Brigade program. The glove is a gauntlet capable of firing electricity arcs and shocking targets by touch; as it is powered by a miniaturized version of the Tesla Spine. Because of its long recharge time and unwieldy design, the glove is mainly used as an ancillary weapon.

==== Notable Experimental Weapons ====

*'''Nuclear Launcher:''' the People's Republic of Adhomai was the first Adhomian faction to master nuclear fission. Atomic weapons were used before in the Tajaran civil war, causing the annihilation of the military base of Quizosa. The nuclear launcher was created at the end of the second civil, by republican scientists as a way to deploy such destructive force while on the field. This firearm launches a miniaturized nuclear warhead capable of causing a controlled, but highly destructive, nuclear explosion. Due to its experimental and dangerous nature, this weapon never saw deployment, but several prototypes can be found in the republican arsenals.

*'''Cybernetic Ha'rron:''' invented by the Ministry of Technology, the Cybernetic Ha'rron is a heavily augmented animal. Its limbs are replaced with specially made tesla prostheses; protection plates, bullet or stab proof are grafted on its back, head, and abdomen; hydraulic cylinders strengthen its jaw's strength; and the eyes are replaced with night vision optics connected to the brain. Due to the increase in aggressiveness and a shortened lifespan, the Ha'rron is kept in a drug-induced coma when not deployed. The cyborg hounds are currently being supplied to the People's Strategic Intelligence Service for testing.

*'''Skypillar System:''' created to deploy the Hadiist nuclear arsenal in case of a decapitation first strike, the Skypillar System is a missile control system recently revealed by the PRA. It relies on a series of sensors controlled by copies of the Republican AI. If the Skypillar detects an explosion, it will attempt to contact President Hadii and the Party to acquire authorization to use weapons of mass destruction. If unable to reach any authority, the Skypillar System will decide on its own if it will retaliate or not. The reliability of the mechanism and location of the sensors are only known to very few members of the state apparatus.

==== Notable Military Vehicles ====

*'''Ha'rron III:''' a main battle tank developed in the intermediate stages of the Second Revolution to replace the Mata'ke Rafama II. Thanks to its simple design, good armor, firepower, and speed, the Ha'rron III quickly became a mainstay of the Republican armored divisions. The tank is mainly used to accompany motorized infantry during operations. Plans were made to begin development on a Mark IV model after the war’s end, but those resources were instead moved by the ministry of technology to their mech designs.

*'''Rhazar Mk. I/II:''' a heavy tank built in the late stages of the Second Revolution. Instead of being equipped with a traditional ballistic gun, the Rhazar has a laser cannon. While this weapon gave the tank hefty firepower, it could only properly operate when in proximity to powerlines. However, the Rhazar Mk. I was effective in defending the Hadiist core territories in the final moments of the war. Projects to replace the engine with a tesla generator have netted moderate success with older Mk. I models being [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/6/#findComment-177855 upgraded into the Mk. II]. However, these models eschew the anticipated use of automated turrets due to phoronic limitations.

*'''Trid'irra crawler:''' a mech created for the [[Tajaran_Military_Structures#Division_Experimental_Exosuit|Division Experimental Exosuit]]. The Trid'irra is a medium-sized crawler carrying artillery guns. Its main role is softening targets before the multipurpose vehicles of the Division EE can engage. Because it was never used in combat, the true effectiveness of the Trid'irra remains unknown. Despite the investment in these new technologies, many Hadiist generals doubt that mechs can ever replace tanks.

*'''P'kus-3 Light Exosuit:''' a mech created for the [[Tajaran_Military_Structures#Division_Experimental_Exosuit|Division Experimental Exosuit]]. The P'kus-3, commonly nicknamed the "Egg", is a multi-purpose light exosuit for use by the Grand People's Army's Division EE and the Orbital Navy Kosmostrelki. Unlike its counterpart, the Trid'irra crawler, it features a modular mounting system for easy swapping of weapon systems. Heavy and light armored variants exist, with the heavy armored system seeing use with Kosmostrelki boarding parties to great success. Recent deals between the [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/7/#findComment-184305 Ministry of Technology and the SCC] have seen its components sold at discount to SCC corporations in return for usage data.

==Tesla Technology==

Elektroika, commonly known as Tesla Technology, remains one of a handful of novel technologies developed on Adhomai. Based on the volatile but potent Tesla field, Tesla technology has become the pride of Hadiist science. While not reliant on phoron technology, Tesla technology is vastly inefficient and less effective compared to its phoronic counterparts. It occupies a space below the human technologies of the modern age, but could prove its reliability in the phoron scarcity.

The most notable and widely used of the Tesla technological line-up is the generator. These generators range in size with the smallest being found in the Tesla Gauntlet. The largest on record was an experimental grid-scale power generator. The limiting factor in all cases is containment. Tesla generators require a thick containment shield, multiple discharge rods, and frequent maintenance. These requirements, however, do not ensure a consistent and safe generation field. Tesla generators, especially those larger variants, are notorious for containment failures. The results range from small shocks to explosive discharges. Containment failure has few cautionary signs, and is exceedingly difficult to reverse unlike Supermatter or nuclear alternatives. As such, maintenance technicians are highly sought after and often paid higher than average wages for their round the clock supervision and maintenance of the volatile technologies. Tesla generators are not without their benefits, however. The efficiency and output of Tesla generators are high, rivaling if not surpassing their fusion counterparts when adjusted for scale. Additionally, they are compact resulting in a high energy density.

The commissioning and decommissioning process for a Tesla generator is a careful and tightly controlled process. Both events have a high likelihood to result in failure, often resulting in the severe injury of the scientists and technicians present. Due to the inability of a Tesla generator to “turn off”, decommissioning is performed through a controlled containment failure, often via remotely detonated explosives in secure facilities underground. Research into slow-decay decommissioning is seen as one of the top-priorities in Tesla Technology.

=== Tesla Prosthetics ===

The most visible use of Tesla technology is the Tesla prosthetics program. Due to the high cost and difficult integration of human-made prosthetics, the Ministry of Technology designed Hadiist-made prosthetics with Tajara anatomy in mind. Originally tested on soldiers to form the [[Tajaran_Military_Structures#Tesla_Brigade|Tesla Brigde]], the program was released for civilian testing in 2462. Since then, the program has expanded to include Tesla organs, and improve upon the safety and design of the limbs and spine.

Between the military and civilian programs, numerous differences exist. Military-grade Tesla prosthetics were designed around earlier versions of the Tesla spine, which had leveraged the more powerful (and unstable) generator to supply the limbs, power armor, and even offensive electrical arcs. Civilian-grade Tesla prosthetics utilize newer versions of the Tesla spine. While not powerful enough to supply much more than prosthetic limbs and organs, it is much safer with the lowest chance of containment failure across all Tesla generators.

=== Tesla Rejuvenation Suit ===

Created as part of the Tesla prosthetics program, the [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/5/#findComment-161120 Tesla Rejuvenation Suit] is a hulking suit that allows disabled Tajara to regain their vigor. Its users are surgically grafted in the machine; their limbs are replaced by large, industrial replacements; their organs are placed in a tank full of healing chemicals located inside their chest, and finally, a big tesla spine is installed. Only the head remains untouched. The suits are bulky and clumsy, restricting their wearers to jobs involving weight lifting and other menial tasks. Since this invention is still in its early stage, reports of it malfunctioning or causing pain to its user are not unheard of; however, the government is quick to claim that these are only subversive rumors. Because of extensive augmentation, Tajara in these suits reports loss of sensations everywhere except the face. The Rejuvenation Suit is only granted to loyal Hadiist Tajara living in the People's Republic. Tajara wearing it are colloquially called "steelsuits".

=== Tesla Resurrected ===

One of the most secretive projects of the People's Republic is their quest to defeat death itself. In this mission, they created the Tesla Resurrected. Only known through leaked information, these experiments are dead Tajara brought back to life using a mixture of augmentation, chemicals, and life support machinery. While fresh bodies produced sentient subjects, with the bare minimum of consciousness to be called such, corpses with signs of decay require invasive techniques to birth more crude results. These resurrected, amalgamations of flesh and metal, are either mindless machines or reportedly violent maniacs. It is currently unknown if these experiments still exist in underground laboratories or if they were destroyed after they were interrogated for their secrets from beyond the grave.

== Science Cities ==

[https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/6/#findComment-170130 Science cities] are a large and expansive project by the Ministry of Technology to build a number of towns dedicated towards research and testing. Intended to be secretive and protected, these towns are built underground and without a disclosed location. Families are selected by the Ministry of Technology and PSIS to carry out the functions of the community. Primarily research, however supporting functions of food and recreation are provided to eliminate the need and risk of researchers entering the public scene. No official number has been declared regarding how many of these science cities have been built or are planned to be built.

== Outsider Department ==

The Outsider Department, officially called Department for Alternative Research, is supposedly a secret division of the Ministry of Technology tasked with researching parapsychology and anomalous phenomena. Only known through rumors and leaked documents, the department was created by the orders of Minister Zhuldyz Hadii after the war. Tales claim that countless unethical experiments take place in subterranean laboratories in an attempt to unlock the secret of the Tajaran mind and soul. Self-proclaimed magicians and mystics are brought to have their abilities put to test; so far, nothing concrete was found. Thanks to a recent partnership between the Ministry of Technology and the PSIS, there is no shortage of test subjects for the Outsider Department.

== Extranet ==

The People’s Republic has been connected to the extranet since the end of the First Revolution. It has the largest population online in Adhomai. However, it is subject to censorship by the Party; the Extranet is closely monitored by the secret police for any subversive tendencies. Sites that contain Anti-Hadiist ideas, such as Al'mariism and Royalism, are blocked. To cover the role of the banned domains, there are Hadiist-approved sites available to the public. Accessing the uncensored extranet is possible through illegal software or by being a full member of the Hadiist Party. The People’s Republic is rumored to be behind the countless bots that roam the extranet downvoting and reporting anti-Hadiist content.

Connecting to sites beyond Adhomai has proven troublesome. Due to the relative isolation of the S’rendarr system from the rest of the Spur, it is often the first to lose extranet connections when relays must go down.

=== Notable Websites ===

*'''Square:''' the most popular social media in the People’s Republic. Square is a social network service that allows users to create their profiles to stay connected to their friends and family. It is also possible to share content and pictures through a news feed and albums. In order to sign up, citizens have to register their Republican ID. The website is rumored to be used by the state to acquire extra information about its citizens.

*'''AdhomaiEye:''' the top search engine in the People’s Republic of Adhomai. AdhomaiEye is suspected of favoring Hadiist-aligned sources above popular or accurate results. Websites related to the other Tajaran factions are unlisted and searching blacklisted terms is considered a crime.

*'''PRATopic:''' an online forum aimed at young PRA Tajara living abroad. Outside of discussing mundane subjects and media, PRATopic has a large political section dedicated to the spread and the defense of the Hadiist ideal. The forum produces propaganda, political theory, and general virtual content to indoctrinate the younger generations. The website is infamous for its very strict moderation.

= Regions =
[[File:Internaldivisions-pra.png|300px|thumb|A map of the People's Republic's regions.]]
== Nraz'i Basin ==

Protected by the eponymous mountain range, the Nrazi'i Basin is the home of the Hadii Dynasty. Rebuilt in the image of a perfect Al'mariist society after the First Revolution, the Basin is a land of planned cities, rocket launch sites, and strict order. The region concentrates the majority of the PRA's technology industry and laboratories. Its inhabitants are considered to be the devout Hadiists; years of indoctrination and propaganda succeeded in creating a loyal population. Due to its status as the jewel of the nation, the People's Republic is willing to do anything it takes to stop its enemies from ever touching the Nrazi'i Basin.

== Ras'nrr Heartlands ==

The Ras'nrr Heartlands, also known as Adhomai's breadbasket, is home to the thousands of communal farms responsible for the majority of the agricultural production in the People's Republic. Lying in the shadows of the Nraz'i mountain range, the Heartlands is an idyllic paradise amidst the ever-growing urbanization. Since the end of the First Revolution, Central Ras'nrr maintains its rural tradition without forfeiting modernity; tractors, complex irrigation systems, and chemical fertilizers are widely diffused. Because of its large forest, the northern areas of the Heartlands have a thriving logging business. Its population has the fame of being rustic, but politically active, Hadiists. The communal farms are one of the few forces in the People's Republic able to negotiate with the Party on near equal grounds, especially as the shortages of phoron and food make their production all the more necessary.

== East Ras'nrr ==

East Ras'nrr is the most populous and wealthy area of the People's Republic. Boasting a well-developed infrastructure and industry, the region plays an important role in supplying the rest of the continent; all kinds of goods quickly flow through its rails and roads after leaving the assembling lines. Thanks to the capital of Nal'tor, East Ras'nrr has plenty of contact with the overall galactic community. Alien products and media - as long they have been approved by the Party - are available to the inhabitants of the region who can afford them. Despite this cosmopolitan nature, the Holy City of Sana Sahira stands in the south as a reminder of the Tajaran traditions.

== Rhazar Mountains ==

The Rhazar Mountains and its surrounding areas are famous for their abundant mineral riches. Entire towns and villages are dedicated to mining. Tons of ores are brought to the local foundries before being carried to be processed by the factories in East Ras'nrr. Because of its vast deposits of rare-earth elements, the Rhazar Mountains are essential to maintain the ongoing Hadiist's technological development. Communal farms are also found on the prairies east of the mountain range.

= Major Cities =

*'''Nal'tor:''' the capital of the People’s Republic. It is the most populated city in Adhomai, being the cultural, financial, and political center of the country. Nal'tor is considered modern and industrialized by Adhomian standards; it is the place where a Tajara can have the most contact with aliens and new off-worlder technologies. Despite the relatively low crime rates, its inhabitants are under constant surveillance by the police and the intelligence agency. It is home to the largest shuttle port on the planet. Attractions include the very active nightlife, Tajaran Electro-Swing clubs, and museums. The city is known for being the site of the now-destroyed Steeple, which is currently being replaced by the Palace of the Free Tajara. This building will be the tallest freestanding structure in Adhomai when completed. Having been built for the future, it currently has the largest housing surplus making it a common destination for those seeking a new home. The [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Nal'tor College of Career Excellence|Nal'tor College of Career Excellence]] is among one of its most famous academies.

*'''Tampiska:''' an industrial hub focused on the production of heavy machinery and automobiles. The city suffered greatly in the second revolution, being the stage of intense urban warfare between the Republican Army and the Adhomai Liberation Army. The Armistice has allowed Tampiska to recover, giving it the chance to return to its old productive days. The city contains vital roads and railways linking Nal’tor to the rest of Ras'nrr, making it a major strategic point. Main attractions include memorials related to the Tajaran civil wars and its many train stations. With many NanoTrasen factories cutting staff and shutting down, Tampiska suffers the highest unemployment rate in the Republic. However, it boasts the strongest construction industry as mass state-funded construction projects expand existing Hadiist industrial complexes.

*'''B'urr:''' an important harbor town on the coast of southern Ras'nrr. The city was once captured by the Adhomai Liberation Army during the Second Civil War. Famous for its busy ports, where most of the coastal trade flows before being distributed through railroads. The settlement also has high crime rates, with shady figures wandering between its warehouses and docks at night. The main Republican submarine base can be found in B’urr. The city is home to marinas and historic lighthouses.

*'''Mal'jor:''' a city built on the principal chokepoint dividing Ras'nrr. It is heavily defended by several military bases. The settlement was occupied by the rebel forces for most of the war until it was liberated in the final year of the conflict. A mining town exists close to the garrisons, with most of the population being employed in the prospecting business or the service sector. This has made it a fast growing city, as former factory workers find work in the mining sector. It suffers with an immense housing shortage as a result. The entrance to Adhomai’s longest cavern, the Kurguzov Cave, can be found south of the city. Its tunnels spread further into the Rhazar mountains, with various areas still being left unexplored.

*'''Orul:''' a city located around the fertile lands of northern Ras'nrr. It remained under the control of Hadiist forces for the entirety of the war, avoiding any kind of destruction. Previously underpopulated, it has grown rapidly with urbanites seeking employment in the surrounding farms that visit the city. Foodstuff is brought from these farms to Orul, where most of it is shipped to the rest of the Republic. This has led to it becoming a major black market location. The city lacks the presence of any industry, but has been slowly urbanizing; much to the chagrin of locals and tourists who once considered it an idyllic escape from the hectic metropolitan life. Azubarre is the patron god of Orul.

*'''Zatushka:''' a city located close to the vast forest of northern Ras'nrr. It is renowned for its logging and woodworking tradition. Due to the supply of high-quality wood, numerous artisans and industries have taken up residence in Zatushka. Furniture made here is known to be of high quality and is prized everywhere in Adhomai. The city was controlled by the Liberation Army for most of the civil war, resulting in heavy devastation during its capture in the last moments of the conflict. This continues to haunt the city, leading to overcrowding as the logging industry grows from urban emigration. Dhrarmela is the patron god of Zatushka.

*'''Nazira:''' one of the oldest Tajaran settlements, resting on the shadow of Adhomai’s tallest mountain. Nazira is on the doorstep of Sana Sahira, serving as a stop-off point for pilgrims and priests. Several inns, hotels, and restaurants exist to serve the constant influx of travelers. Shops selling religious objects, such as icons and amulets, also play a big role in the local economy. The city is home to the oldest surviving S'rand'marr temple in Adhomai, the Temple of the Holy Blessed Suns, with its main structures and reliquary dating back to the Immigration Period.
[[File:Pranuclearplant.jpg|300px|thumb|A nuclear plant in the city of Al'mari.]]
*'''Al'mari:''' the ancestral land of the Hadii dynasty. It holds an important cultural significance for the People's Republic as the cradle of Hadiism. The city houses various museums dedicated to the first revolution and monuments praising the achievements of the PRA and its heroes. The town underwent reconstruction after the first civil war; it was rebuilt following the principles of Republican architecture and meticulous urban planning. Al'mari is the national center of technological development, supported by [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/3/#findComment-144507 high-tech industries], state-run laboratories, and the presence of the space program. The [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Hadii Institute of Orbital Research|Hadii Institute of Orbital Research]] and [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Al'mari College of Hadiist Sciences|Al'mari College of Hadiist Sciences]] are among the city's most prestigious learning institutions.

*'''Fort Hadii:''' a town that can be better described as a massive military complex. Originally a fortress meant to protect the Hadii's lands, it evolved into a robust system of bases, defenses, and garrisons along the northwest section of the Nraz'i mountains. Its military academies prepare aspiring officers to lead, while its training camps prepare conscripts for the realities of war. PSIS agents are supposedly indoctrinated in some hidden compound in Fort Hadii. The civilian population is composed of the family members of the personnel stationed on the base and of those working to supply and offer services to the military presence.

*'''Castle Vladis:''' once the site of an abandoned fortress, the island of Vladis was chosen to be the site of the PRA’s first maximum-security prison: the Try'urma Penitentiary. Due to its isolated position and turbulent waters; the institution has the fame of being inescapable. Common criminals, dissidents, and political prisoners are sent to Try'urma; those who are sentenced to it are rarely seen again. A military base and a small settlement are also present. The inhabitants of the town are the few civilians that are employed in the operations necessary for the maintenance of the government facilities.

*'''Chaniska:''' the last bastion of the People’s Republic in Amohda and a naval base on the southern region of the island. During the war, the vast majority of the native population fled to escape PRA control, leaving the city abandoned. The Republican Army was able to halt any armies encroaching on the city. Now, the PRA promotes [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/?do=findComment&comment=147249 resettlement] of the area through a program to entice citizens displaced by the citizenship act to settle in Chaniska. The city is gradually being refilled, and the fishing and shipwright industry is expected to make a massive comeback as migration steadily increases. The area was the site of a tense military stand-off between the PRA and DPRA in 2463. While the DPRA eventually stood down, the rival armies of the two nations continue to glare at each other from their border fortifications.

*'''Klipavayr:''' a mining town in the Rhazar Mountains. It is home to the largest military underground hangar in Adhomai: the Klipavayr airbase. Built into the side of the mountains, the base houses autogyro squadrons and their pilots. Bauxite extraction and aluminum production are staples of the local economy. Klavpavayr is also famous for the Sham-Rhazar, an interwar period resort built atop the summit of one of the nearby peaks. The building is exclusively used by Party members for social and political meetings.

= Architecture =

Hadiist architecture is divided into two notable styles: Interwar Art and Hadiist Classicism.

Interwar Art, also known as Tajaran Futurism, emerged shortly after the First Revolution. This style was marked by the futuristic and hopeful spirit of the young Republic. Its main theme is the admiration for modernity and technology. Its major characteristics are smooth lines, geometric shapes, streamlined forms, and bright colors. While the first Republican buildings were built in this style, Interwar Art fell out of favor after the ascension of President Njadrasanukii Hadii. However, this style is still widely appreciated by the Tajaran community in Biesel.

Developed by architects closely linked to the Party, Hadiist Classicism is an architectural style that emerged during the reconstruction of the city of Al'mari. It is characterized by large buildings, rigid geometrical figures, small windows, solid concrete structures, and a monochrome palette. Its buildings prioritize function over form - the only suitable decoration are propaganda pieces exalting Hadiism. Hadiist Classicism is currently the most popular architectural style in the People's Republic of Adhomai.

== Notable Monuments ==

*'''Palace of the Free Tajara:''' planned after the destruction of the Steeple during the Second Civil War, the Palace of the Free Tajara is the current seat of government of the People's Republic. The Palace is the tallest freestanding structure in Adhomai, with a height surpassing 900 meters. Inaugurated in 2464, it was built with the help of megacorporations. Its main structure is heavily reinforced and a subterranean complex makes sure that the government will continue to work even if the Palace is seriously threatened. The building is overseen by Aparhatchyk, the Artificial Intelligence used in economic analysis; its software was updated and expanded to accommodate its new function by the Institute of Orbital Research. The Republican Guard is responsible for the security of the Palace. The building is also home to a museum dedicated to the history and feats of Hadiism.

*'''Monument to the Fallen Revolutionaries:''' a war memorial and statue dedicated to the First Revolution's revolutionaries located in Tampiska. Inaugurated shortly after the end of the war, the monument depicts a rebel with a rifle staring towards Nal'tor. A large stone tablet at the building base dedicates the memorial to the rebels who fought and died to liberate the city from the nobility. Because of its importance to the Hadiist and Al'mariist causes, the monument was spared from the Second Revolution's destruction. Controlling the statue during the conflict was a matter of national pride; several soldiers died to capture and recapture the memorial.

*'''Temple of the Holy Blessed Suns:''' situated in the city of Nazira, the Temple of the Holy Blessed Suns is the oldest known S'rand'marr temple. Built during the Immigration Age, the building is a large complex made up of several chambers, shrines, libraries, and churches. Thanks to its religious significance, it was spared by combatants during both civil wars. Proposals by the Hadiist Party to turn the temple into a museum proved to be unpopular with the public. Thanks to the effort to digitalize the church's archives, the Temple has public computers with access to its sacred texts.

= Government and Ideology =

The People’s Republic of Adhomai is considered a presidential republic with a single-party system. The leadership and organization are extremely centralized, with all branches of the government and administration answering to the parliament and the president, Njadrasanukii Hadii. The president serves a twelve-year term while also having ample powers, such as being able to issue mandates or dissolve the parliament in cases of emergency. The Party of the Free Tajara, also known as the '''Parizahra Zhahrazjujz Tajara Akzatauzjauna''', is the only and ruling party in the PRA, with its leader always being the elected president. They follow Hadiism as their main ideology, with the objective of securing the Tajaran freedom and place in the galactic community.

Membership of the Hadiist Party is not open. For anyone to become a member, they must be approved by a committee that considers their qualifications and past. Government officials can grant honorary memberships, this is seen as nothing but an honor and does not grant any status or position that a regular Party member would have. Full members of the Party always work in government positions.

== Hadiism ==

Hadiism is an ideology characterized by strong centralized leadership, a one-party system, a rejection of the traditional Tajaran caste system, and the enforcement of a monolithic culture to replace regional identities. Its origins can be traced back to the First Revolution, but its current form was defined by Malik Hadii’s rise to power. Hadiism is extremely authoritarian and concentrates a large amount of power in the hands of the Party and its leaders. The cult of personality of the president is another key element to it; the supreme leader is the unquestionable guide for the entire nation.

The caste system is seen as one of the main obstacles to the future of the Tajara people. It is considered an issue so ingrained in the Tajaran society, that it requires state intervention to solve. The Hadiist solution to this problem is the creation of an artificial unifying culture whose goal is the elimination of any kind of division between the population. This new ideal puts great emphasis on the collective over the individual and undying loyalty to the Party. The new Hadiist Tajara is eager to sacrifice himself for the good of their nation and would never question the decision of his superiors. The desire to break with the burdens of the past extends to the religion to the more radical Hadiists; renouncing one’s belief in the Gods is necessary to recognize that no higher power than the Party exists. While incompatible with the Hadiist ideals, racism is still widespread and is a great hurdle in the process of eradicating the heritage of the caste system.

Hadiism is open to diplomacy with alien powers and is welcoming of megacorporations. In its vision, the Tajara should cultivate a prosperous and friendly relationship with the other species. However, Xeno cultural influence should be closely watched for it might clash with the Hadiist Culture.

*'''Orthodox Hadiism:''' the mainstream form of Hadiism, followed by the majority of the Party. Orthodox Hadiism follows closely the principles of the ideology without deviation. It is resistant to change and seeks to maintain the Party's rule over the Nation at all costs. Its main inspiration comes from the actions and doctrines established by President Hadii; Malik's cult of personality is found in its strongest form here.

*'''Totalist Hadiism:''' even with the ever-present secret police, strict censorship, and other measures to suppress political dissent, some Hadiists believe that the Party should exercise greater control of the society. Totalist Hadiism proposes the total planning and organization of the lives of its citizens according to the needs of the State. The concepts of independence, self-realization, individualism, and personal desires must be forgotten for the sake of the nation; a Tajara's sole purpose is to dedicate themselves to the Hadiist state. This ideal condition can only be reached through the implementation of a non-stop overview and invasive vigilance. [[Notable Tajara#Headmaster Harrrdanim Tyr'adrr|Headmaster Harrrdanim Tyr'adrr]] is the main proponent of this ideology. It finds great support among the ranks of the People's Strategic Intelligence Service. It is the smallest of the schools of thought.

*'''Visionary Hadiism:''' originated from the growing scientific community in the People’s Republic, Visionary Hadiism believes that rapid and radical technological progress is needed for the Hadiist society to reach its goals. The flaws of the Tajaran people can be corrected with the help of revolutionary technologies; science must be used to permanently transform the Tajaran condition. No price is too great during the march of progress, neither nature nor Tajaran lives should stand on the path to greatness. Safe and ethical research is seen as a pointless constraint. Accelerated industrialization of all sectors is dictated as necessary to guarantee the survival of Hadiism against its enemy. Visionary Hadiism advocates for the expansion of the space navy and the establishment of more colonies. Under their vision, the Tajara are destined to populate and conquer the cosmos. The introduction of widespread augmentation is also among its policies; cybernetics implants would erase the concept of disability and inequality from the face of Adhomai. While it advocates for the use of any technology to propel the Tajaran people forward, in the face of the growing scarcity focus has shifted to the rapid expansion of Tesla research. [[Notable Tajara#Minister of Technology Zhuldyz Hadii|Minister of Technology Zhuldyz Hadii]] is the main proponent of this ideology. It finds great support among PRA’s researchers and the orbital fleet command. Visionary Hadiism is the third largest school of thought.

*'''Young Hadiism:''' made up of students and intellectuals, the Young Hadiists are the reformist faction. Despite being unable to directly oppose the Party due to the threat of a political purge, they plan to change the system through gradual reforms. Young Hadiism preaches that authoritarian measures were only temporarily needed to secure the existence and security of the People’s Republic. The Tajara deserve more political rights and freedom; the Party should be the people's protector, not their jailor. Young Hadiists are one of the few to raise concerns about Adhomai's nature being threatened by industrialization. Young Hadiists believe that changes should be cautiously implemented to avoid upsetting society and the government. Ultimately, the Young Hadiists plan to slowly transform the People's Republic into a proper Hadiist democracy. [[Notable Tajara#Minister of Education Kalim Khazdar|Minister of Education Kalim Khazdar]] is the main proponent of this ideology. While originally the second smallest school of thought, as the Hadiist education system has expanded, Young Hadiism has grown to become the second largest school of thought behind Orthodox Hadiism.

== People's Strategic Intelligence Service ==

The People's Strategic Intelligence Service is the main intelligence agency of the People's Republic. In the wake of the revolution that had won the species their independence, the budding government recognized the need for covert operations. Teachers from Sol's [[Solarian Security and Law#The Solarian Interstellar Intelligence Bureau|SIIB]] and equipment were employed to train their agents, which then embedded themselves across Adhomai in anti-government groups, media moguls, law enforcement agencies, and other levels of society to ensure that order was kept and no subversive elements could undermine the new, weak government. Since then, their reliance on humanity has grown weak, and the agency has established itself as a respected and feared intelligence service.

Several agents and informants are employed by the PSIS, both in domestic and foreign theaters. The agency makes use of espionage, sabotage, assassination, interrogation, blackmail, and all other sort of subterfuge, during their operations. Subversive elements within the People's Republican are dealt with quickly, usually through night raids and abductions conducted with the aid of black unmarked cars. Tajara residing in other systems are not truly safe from the Intelligence Service, as they are known to deploy their agents against off-world targets. Hadiist spies, enforces and collaborators are present in [[Mendell City|Mendell City's district six]], carrying out orders or watching their fellow Tajara.

During the Second Revolution, the People's Strategic Intelligence Service was deployed in occupied territory to persecute anyone who was offering resistance or was suspected of doing so. Tens of thousands were killed or imprisoned by the secret police. Families of suspected guerilla fighters and dissidents were held hostage to force the suspects to surrender or come out of hiding. The [[Tajaran Military Structures#Republican Army (People's Republic of Adhomai)|Grand People's Army]] frequently collaborated with their operations under the guise of anti-partisan actions. Many community leaders, family members, and politicians remain "disappeared" by the PSIS.

===Blade Dame Division===

Known only through document leaks, the Blade Dame Division is a group of heavily augmented assassins. Its members are picked from female orphanages and supposedly brainwashed to be totally loyal to the Hadiist Party. They are equipped with experimental augments that favor stealth operations, including retractable blades concealed in the forearms and fingertips; subdermal ballistic armor patches; concealed guns installed in the knees and wrist; and a fully internal tesla spine prototype. Due to the nature of the augmentations, they are indistinguishable from a non-augmented Tajara to the naked eye. Rumors claim that the Blade Dames are also operating in Tau Ceti.

== Law ==

The Hadiist justice system is heavily centralized and relies solely on written law. The code is biased toward protecting the Party’s rule and its position as the ultimate authority in the Republic. Courts are presided by judges chosen through Party appointment, with the presence of Hadiist model citizens selected as the jury when needed. Lawyers are always appointed by the state to work on cases; it is impossible for anyone to hire a professional of their choice. All advocates are required to work for the government in order to practice their profession.

Law enforcement in the People’s Republic is the responsibility of the National Police Department, an organization under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This agency is tasked with keeping the peace and investigating crimes. The Hadiist police force is the best equipped in Adhomai, but much of its efforts are hindered by the underlying corruption present in the government.

== International Relations ==
The international relations of the People's Republic is handled by the Ministry of External Affairs. Diplomatic missions are wide and varied, whether they are the many ambassadors and consulars found across the Spur, aid missions set to improve the image of the Republic, or meetings to secure new deals with the megacorporations and other nations. Consulars of the Ministry of External Affairs are recruited, trained, and managed by the People's Diplomatic Service. Protection is performed by the Parizahra Aasii branch of the National Police Department. Officers assigned to the Horizon may hold the rank of '''Nalket''', '''Rhazket''', or '''Sil'Dranalket'''.

*'''[[Republic of Biesel]]:''' among the Tajaran nations, the People’s Republic of Adhomai has the strongest diplomatic ties with the Republic of Biesel. Thanks to NanoTrasen influence and support of the Hadiist government during the Second Revolution, Tau Ceti is considered a close ally. Following the signing of the [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/2839-wwwadhomaichroniclecomnews/page/6/#findComment-165950 Mendell Protocol], these ties have only strengthened with the defensive pact. The Orbital Fleet sent an expeditionary force to aid Tau Ceti during the Solarian invasion of 2462.

*'''[[Sol Alliance]]:''' once an ally and direct supporter of the People’s Republic, relations between both states quickly deteriorated after a space skirmish in 2461. Despite the diplomatic reopening following the lifting of the Second Tajara Ban, the events before the Solarian collapse forced the PRA to finally cut all ties with Sol. There is no reconciliation on sight as the People’s Republic continues to supposedly fund the Tajara Revolutionary Army in the Wildlands and Sol continues to uphold the Third Tajara Ban

*'''[[Nralakk Federation]]:''' as part of the S'rand'marr Coalition, the Nralakk Federation dispatched peacekeepers and humanitarian aid to the People's Republic during the conflict. Despite initially recognizing all Tajaran factions due to the Armistice, the Federation now only recognizes the People's Republic as the rightful Adhomian faction. The collaboration between the governments is usually done through the joint development of technologies and information exchanges. The Federation currently sees the PRA as the best choice for Adhomian stability.

== Flag ==

The People's Republic Flag is based on the Hadii dynasty standard used during the First Revolution. The flag uses the colors of the revolutionary movements, with red representing the sacrifices made during the civil war, black the equality among all Tajara, and gold the natural riches of Adhomai. The flag has a Twin Suns Icon on the center symbolizing the People's Republic's rule over all Adhomai.

= Military Forces =

The People's Republic Military is composed of the [[Tajaran Military Structures#Republican Army (People's Republic of Adhomai)|Grand People's Army]], the [[Tajaran Military Structures#Republican Navy (People's Republic of Adhomai)|Republican Navy]], the [[Tajaran Military Structures#People's Air Force (People's Republic of Adhomai)|People's Air Force]] and the [[PRA Orbital Fleet Structure|Orbital Fleet]]. The Grand People’s Army is the ground army of the PRA; it is formed by large divisions of mechanized infantry, armored platoons, and artillery teams. While being equipped with the best that the Adhomian industry can provide, the Republican army suffered from low morale and a lack of properly trained officers in the Second Revolution. A draft was instated from 2458 to 2464, replacing the volunteer model army following high casualty rates, requiring all Tajara between 18-30 to enlist, unless they were able to pay a fee, prove that they are a member of the party or that they are employed under the NanoTrasen Corporation. With the signing of the Armistice, the Republican Military has gone through an extensive reform period with the lessons learned from their failures in the war.

The Republican Orbital Fleet is the pride of the People’s Republic military, as it is the strongest space navy among the warring factions of Adhomai. While used to defend the system and used to impose a blockade against the other factions, the Fleet was able to extract a costly victory in a skirmish against Solarian forces in S'rand’marr.
