Transfer of Power
When a world is newly discovered, the land is portioned and put up for bid. Bids are placed in the form of proposals detailing how the bidding party will settle the land. These proposals are judged according to the Pact's plans for the world: terraformation, farming, trade, industry, residence, etc. The winning bids are then provided colonial transport for any settlers and equipment, and left to their own devices on their lot of land. This process is fairly quick, as far as Pact politics goes.
While these settlements mature, Jhoutigari forces are trained and assembled for colonization of the chosen world, a process which may take years to complete. By the time the Jhoutigari are deployed, the settlements have begun to mature and stabilize the environment. The arriving Jhoutigari then settles in the larger settlements, using them as a base of operations to spread out and federate the colonies into Pact law. They are given considerable resource for this task.
Progress
The Marshall's Office arrived to Gishani 15 years ago to great fanfare, bringing with them fresh supplies and an army of colonists. In the time since then, several cities have cemented their bids as seats of commerce and power and a scattered coalition of landowners has united in an uproar of protest. They cry: "The Jhoutigari broke the terms of our agreements. Now we face destitution! We demand restitution!"
Among the dissenters is Xetto the Pugnacious, owner of neje and uncle of PC Zaffir. For Xetto's insolence, the Marshall declared Strashya an IdPari exclusion zone, placed a blockade on it, and installed Armun the Miser as its interim governor.
While Xetto was willing to resist forever, his people craved the safety and comfort a city like the one they were promised, and accepted Armun's offers for a one-way ticket to the mainland. Strashya dwindled, and desperation drove tensions to a point of violence that ended with Xetto hiding in the wilderness, where he remains to this day.
Ten years have past since the Jhoutigari came to Strashya.
It is not going well.
This machine moves as one
To oversee the peaceful integration of federated land to federal control.
Awesome progress on this one so far! Loving these generations too, especially the fleet. With so much power on hand to blockade Strasya, wonder what Xetto was thinking...
You are doing a great job! Keep creating; I believe in you!

Now with serialized fiction on Ream!!
You and the players both! (And even I'm getting pretty skeptical of Ol' Xetto at this point! > .> )
