The Empire of Tensa is a collection of small star systems on the edge of Initiative space, lying towards the outer arm of the galaxy.
History
Established in 2217 CE, as the Tensa Collective, when the founding members sailed to the Tensa star system, the Empire of Tensa was originally a collective group led by the descendants of the original few colonists. However, as time went on, these descendants formed the "Royal Families". One of these families, that held several of the most resource rich areas of the star system, became the dominant family. With various marriages and alliances, the families formed a more-or-less status quo, with various families taking power from time to time, but rarely lasting longer than a couple of generations.
Society
The Empire of Tensa is a very hierarchical society, with the imperial house at the top of hierarchy, followed by the noble houses, the military, and then the average citizen. Because of the feudal nature of the society, there is often a lot of internal conflict between the noble houses, each of which governs a portion of the empire, with the emperor occasionally reassigning lands and assets. As the noble houses are responsible for maintaining order within their territories, each house maintains a small standing army.
