	=== Nralakk Federation ===		===Nralakk Federation===

	Overall, it can be said that the ~~Commonwealth of Hieroaetheria~~ and the [[Nralakk Federation]] have an amicable relationship, most of which is derived from its friendship with the Consortium. Prior to the ~~introduction of the Eternal Republic~~ of the ~~Ekane and the Union of Gla’orr to the Commonwealth~~, the Consortium had negotiated what is now known as Rapture’s Treaty – an important agreement which sought to be binding on future member states and includes a defensive ~~pact~~ between the ~~Commonwealth~~ and the Federation, and several other provisions which allow for the Federation and ~~Commonwealth~~ to engage in training practices concerning the Commonwealth Naval Authority, and ultimately freedom of migration across the Commonwealth without the necessity for a tourist visa; however, this largely has been rejected by the Eternal Republic of the Ekane, and the Union of Gla’orr, which has had a minor impact on the greater relationship between the Commonwealth and the Federation. However, the Consortium maintains this agreement, allowing those from the [[Nralakk Federation]] to enjoy its cities and territories; notably the only faction to do so on Hieroaetheria. There is a ~~Commonwealth~~ Embassy located on Qerrbalak, and a Federation Embassy in ~~Nral’daaq or~~ Epigenia.

There is a Compact Embassy located on Qerrbalak, and a Federation Embassy in Epigenia.

	=== Solarian Alliance ===		===Solarian Alliance===

	Prior to the Solarian Collapse, the relationship between the [[Solarian Alliance]] and the ~~Commonwealth~~ was largely just diplomatic. There had been no agreements between one another, and their relationship mostly derived from the shared friendship both entities had with the Nralakk Federation. The Solarian Collapse brought a significant change to the political climate of the Spur, and with it a radical change to the relationship between the [[Solarian Alliance]] and the ~~Commonwealth~~. Though neutral to the Second Solarian Invasion of the Republic of Biesel, the ~~Commonwealth~~ ultimately chose to distance itself from the Solarian Alliance – a decision exacerbated by the skirmishes occuring on its borders from the Solarian Restoration Front. On the ~~cusp~~ of ~~a re-united [[Solarian Alliance]]~~, ~~the Grand Assembly has a decision to make~~ in ~~regards to whether they maintain~~ the ~~current direction of diplomacy, or seek a new path~~.

Though neutral to the Second Solarian Invasion of the Republic of Biesel, the Rotunnkc Compact ultimately chose to distance itself from the Solarian Alliance – a decision exacerbated by the skirmishes occuring on its borders from the Solarian Restoration Front. With the Reunification of Sol, however, there is new interest in the Solarians as potential business and trading partners. Talks have not begun.

	=== ~~Republic~~ of ~~Biesel~~ ===		===Coalition of Colonies===

	~~The Commonweallth and~~ the ~~[[Republic of Biesel]] can be regarded as having a rather warm relationship with one another~~, ~~mostly thanks to the presence of Megacorporations within the Commonwealth – in particular the Consortium~~, ~~similarly to~~ the ~~Nralakk Federation, has fostered a sense~~ of ~~trust and co-operation between the respective factions~~. ~~Though the Union of Gla’orr largely ignores the Republic of Biesel’s diplomatic attempts at an attempt to remain impartial and neutral within the Orion Spur~~, ~~the Commonwealth has slowly been confirming~~ their ~~allegiance to the Republic of Biesel~~ through ~~minor engagements such as trade discussions~~ and ~~laxing of migration controls; though most attribute it to the doings of the Megacorporations, others view the Omnivirate’s presence in~~ the ~~faction as a significant contributor as~~ to the ~~silence of the [[Eternal Republic of the Ekane]] – largely voting to abstrain~~ from ~~any action for or against the [[Republic of Biesel]]~~. ~~Both the Commonwealth and the [[Republic~~ of ~~Biesel]] have agreed to host embassies within their nations, with the Commonwealth Embassy located in District One of Mendell City, and a Biesellite Embassy located in Nral’daaq or Epigenia~~.		Presently, the Rotunnkc Compact has no relations, embassies, or existing agreements with the CoC or any of its member states. However, it gets their business through independent traders and suppliers from all over the Coaltion that travel to the Hieroaetheria from Konyang. The Rotunnkc Compact itself finds this arrangement adequate; further avenues of diplomacy are not explored at this time.

	=== ~~Covenant~~ of ~~Xrim~~ ===		===Republic of Biesel===

	~~Being the only other nation~~ of ~~Dionae in~~ the ~~Orion Spur~~, the ~~relationship between the [[Covenant of Xrim]]~~ and the ~~Commonwealth of Hieroaetheria is essentially an alliance~~, ~~though one unique to~~ the ~~two. Despite the Covenant largely being considered~~ a ~~vassal of the Nralakk Federation~~, ~~with the latter representing~~ them in ~~interstellar affairs, both the Commonwealth and the Covenant have agreed to an unofficial pact~~ of ~~friendship – remarkably agreed upon by every member state within~~ the ~~Commonwealth~~. ~~It is not unheard of for the Triumvirate to travel to Titan’s Rapture and engage~~ in ~~diplomatic discussions with the entirety of the Commonwealth~~, ~~and even holding individual talks with~~ the ~~member states. Though [[~~the ~~Consortium]]~~ and the ~~Union of Gla’orr are considered friendly entities to the Covenant, the [[~~Eternal Republic of the Ekane]] and the Covenant have the strongest relationship – most owing it to the religious ideology of the two. Though the Covenant of Xrim does not technically have the authority to operate an embassy, the [[Nralakk Federation]] has agreed to allow for a portion of its embass in Nral’daaq or Epigenia to be used by the Covenant to continue relations with Hieroaetheria. There are discussions between the Covenant, Federation and Commonwealth to establish a secondary embassy on Xrim.		The Republic of Biesel is seen favorably with the Rotunnkc Compact, merely because of the Consortium and the SCC's mutual interest in each other. Although both nations host Embassies in their capitals, The Consortium typically only interacts with the Biesel government when it is a necessary formality, choosing to bypass them in favor of dealing with the SCC directly. The Gla'orr Dominate lacks any interest in Biesel whatsoever, while the Ekane Mysterium's attention is directed primarily towards the Omnivirate and the Eternal Church.

	=== ~~The Omnivirate~~ ===		===Covenant of Xrim===

	~~The Omnivirate~~, ~~though not exactly an entity with any discernable borders in which it governs, has a unique~~ relationship ~~with~~ the Commonwealth of Hieroaetheria. ~~Owing to their status as~~ the ~~religious authority~~ of the ~~Eternal~~, ~~they~~ have ~~been granted wide-ranging benefits~~ within the ~~Commonwealth~~ and ~~its territories;~~ in ~~particular, they are among~~ the ~~only individuals who need not adhere to certain restrictions~~, ~~they may freely travel across~~ the member states and the ~~greater Commonwealth –~~ and have ~~done so frequently, oftentimes engaging with~~ the ~~political authorities~~ of the ~~Consortium, Eternal Republic and the Union~~. ~~However~~ the ~~recent announcement~~ of ~~their intention~~ to ~~expand their authority outside of~~ the ~~[[Eternal Gardens]] may create~~ a ~~sense~~ of ~~tension amongst~~ the ~~Commonwealth’s member states~~, ~~especially in regard~~ to ~~their recent intervention within~~ the ~~[[Covenant~~ of ~~Xrim]]~~. ~~Time will only tell whether their decision shall have either~~ a ~~significant~~ or ~~insignificant impact on~~ the ~~Commonwealth~~ and ~~their current direction within~~ the ~~Orion Spur~~.		With both the Rotunnkc Compact and Xrim operating within the influence of the Nralakk Federation, the relationship between the Covenant of Xrim and the Commonwealth of Hieroaetheria is essentially an alliance, though one unique to the two. Despite the Covenant largely being considered a vassal of the Nralakk Federation, with the latter representing them in interstellar affairs, both the Compact and the Covenant have agreed to an unofficial pact of friendship – remarkably agreed upon by every member state within the Compact. It is not unheard of for the Triumvirate to travel to Titan’s Rapture and engage in diplomatic discussions with the entirety of the Compact, and even holding individual talks with the member states. Though the Consortium and the Gla’orr Dominate are considered friendly entities to the Covenant, the Ekane Mysterium and the Covenant have the strongest relationship – most owing it to the religious ideology of the two. Though the Covenant of Xrim does not technically have the authority to operate an embassy, the Nralakk Federation has agreed to allow for a portion of its embass in Epigenia to be used by the Covenant to continue relations with Hieroaetheria. There are discussions between the Covenant, Federation and Rotunnkc Compact to establish a secondary embassy on Xrim.

			===The Omnivirate===

			The Omnivirate of the Eternal Church lacks influence in most of Hieroaetheria, save for the Ekane Mysterium. The Consortium sees the Eternal as an external frivolity that is not worth the logistical expense for The State to facilitate. The Gla'orr Dominate sees the Eternal, with it's emphasis on service to a greater cosmic godhead, to be a form of submission or weakness. The Ekane Mysterium remains in close contact with the Omnivirate, as their sole ally and religious foothold in the Compact.

	~~== Commonwealth Naval Authority ==~~

	Founded shortly after the establishment of the Commonwealth, the Commonwealth Naval Authority answers to no one but the decisions agreed to on by the Grand Assembly— however, it largely operates with some degree of autonomy in part due to the guidelines set forth by the Grand Assembly. There is not restrictions on who may join, merely that they be citizens of one of the member states of the Commonwealth — resulting in both non-Dionae and Dionae oftentimes seen working together on any objectives for the Authority; despite calls against the allowance of non-Dionae with in the ranks by both the Eternal Republic of the Ekane and the Union of Gla’orr. Predominately, they maintain patrols across the Commonwealth’s territory, stretching roughly between four to five light years in any given direction from Hieroaetheria; with only the Consortium having successfully established any off-world presence so far.

	They regularly conduct training exercises with attaches from the Nralakk Federation, mostly as a result of the agreement between the Consortium and the former. This has somewhat affected relations with the Eternal Republic of the Ekane and the Union of Gla’orr, citing the necessity to train the Commonwealth Naval Authority on their own, and not providing an alien entity with specifications as to its capabilities and strategies — which has resulted in a minor compromise of sorts between the member states. Successful lobbying by the Eternal Republic and the Union had resulted in a somewhat tightly controlled border; spacecraft that enter the Commonwealth’s territory are mandated to report all details of their operations to the Commonwealth Naval Authority Control — a large space station in orbit of Hieroaetheria, but with smaller outposts across any inhabited regions of their territories — and do so until they depart. In addition, majority are required to submit to any further investigation by the Commonwealth provided there exists probably cause, an easily attainable piece of information thanks to the structure of the Commonwealth — most citing “possible foreign contamination” when conducting “random” searches, essentially framing the search as a method to ensure health and sanitation procedures have been adhered, whilst looking for any incriminating material. The majority of the spacecraft that comprise the Commonwealth Naval Authority were constructed by the Consortium, with only recently the introduction of Unitary designs making their way into the fold — with discussions as to the possible development of technological innovation from Skrell, Dionae and Megacorporate minds within the shadows making their way into the rumour mill.

	It operates similarly to other naval forces within the Spur; there exist ranks and a hierarchy, both of which must be followed or a person can risk expulsion from their duties. However, the notable caveat is that it is led by a Vice-Admiral, who answers only to the Grand Assembly — a Dionae agreed upon by each member state as proving to be uniquely objective in their reasoning and seeks only to fulfil their benefit to the entirety of the Commonwealth — Where Cataclysmic Energy Transverses into Celestial Life or merely Vice-Admiral Cataclysmic Energy, as referred to respectfully by many. They have been behind many appointments to leadership positions within the Commonwealth Naval Authority, cultivating a space of objective reasoning to ensure that the Authority seeks only to benefit the Commonwealth — neither one individual member state nor outside entity such as the megacorporations that dominate the Orion Spur.

	The presence of the now-defunct state of the fascist Solarian Restoration Front pushed for a rapid response from the Commonwealth Naval Authority; despite having middling abilities towards the beginning of 2460 – the collapse of the Solarian Alliance brought about a significantly different political climate; furthermore, entities which were not “warm” with the greater Spur, nevermind the Commonwealth of Hieroaetheria. Though Titan’s Rapture was largely unaffected by these happenings, the frontier of the Commonwealth’s territory frequently experienced skirmishes with the Solarian Restoration Front. Between 2460 CE and 2465 CE, the Commonwealth Naval Authority had increased their numbers by almost triple thanks to the contributions of both the Consortium and the Union; allowing them to somewhat successfully deal with minor conflicts, with tactics used to either deter or avoid greater battles with the Solarian Restoration Front.
