| - | Emperor Regist rules with an iron hand. All decisions that affect more than a single star system remain the emperor's to make. For more than a decade, Regist has faced down attempted coups and assassinations following his decision to make peace in the Alkaid Conference of [[Timeline|2465]]. Much of the Thuldan military was reluctant to accept a war that ended without victory -and to accept the surrender of land the Empire had gained. One of Regist's most difficult tasks during the seven years between the Alkaid Conference and the signing of the [[Treaty of Concord]] was convincing his own people that a cessation in hostilities was necessary, at least in the short term. Today, Regist rules unquestioned. Already 170 years old and still healthy, he is likely to rule for another decade or more. Even so, he has yet to follow tradition and name a successor. Since he has no clear heir, the turmoil following his death could tear the Empire apart. | + | Emperor Regist rules with an iron hand.

| In strength of arms, the Empire remains the clear leader. Seventeen [[ship combat|fortress ships]] and more than 200 [[ship combat|capital ships]] bear the Thuldan flag. In addition, all driveships built in Thuldan space -from the lowliest freighter to the richest passenger liner- must carry armaments of use to the Thuldan military. In terms of sheer manpower, the Empire has enormous reserves. Legally, every Thuldan citizen answers to the military, and all adult Thuldans hold military rank and are subject to military orders. | In strength of arms, the Empire remains the clear leader.
