Solar Dominion
The Thyrsian government is a militaristic, male-dominated regime that exerts significant control over the planet Thyrsus.
It is rooted in a patriarchal structure, emphasizing hierarchy, strength, and martial tradition, often at the expense of broader egalitarian ideals embraced by the Echani. This government prioritizes military might, conquest, and honour as central pillars of Thyrsian society, viewing combat prowess and leadership on the battlefield as the ultimate qualifications for governance.
The ruling class, composed of warlords and military commanders, governs through a rigid system of authority, where power is often seized through demonstrations of strength, whether on the battlefield or within political rivalries. While nominally answering to the Echani Command, they maintain a significant degree of autonomy in internal affairs.
The government enforces strict societal roles, with men traditionally holding positions of authority and women largely excluded from leadership, although some exceptions exist.
The Thyrsian government is heavily tied to the Sun Guard, a powerful mercenary faction originating from Thyrsus, which operates both as a military arm of the state and an economic engine through its contracts across the galaxy.
History
Though nominally part of the Six Sisters, a confederation of six worlds dominated by the Echani, the Echani population of the sun-baked world of Thyrsus differed in appearance from their Echani cousins, and were considered by the Echani Command to be stubbornly independent. Thyrsians first emerged onto the galactic stage in 1154 BBY, waging a war of independence against Echani Command during the Begali Uprising.
Though Begali returned to Echani rule less than a century later, the Thyrsian Sun Guard continued to wage a string of crusades against the Echani until Thyrsian independence was confirmed with the Pact of Almera in 899 BBY.
