Phelke Commonwealth
The Star Nation of the Hyperion Federation representing the Phelke species.
Before making contact with the HF, the phelke has already made contact with many other star nations within the phelke home galaxy. They did politics with many of these factions over a long time. They won many wars but also lost many wars. They found that their STA ability gave them a significant espionage advantage. Also, they were in the process of colonizing about 50 worlds all orbiting the same gas giant as their homeworld which would undoubtedly add much value to their star nation. The HF simply just observed, until they saw the potential of having some of thesese species on their side. As such, they made contact with the phelke.
Contrary to popular belief, the commonwealth is not actually a commonwealth, but a republic. Before making contact with the HF however, they were an empire as they needed a very significant security, against their own STA ability. The HF, of course, forced them out of their imperial stance for their own benefit, applying their own technology to improve the security of the phelke substantially.
The leader is the most powerful position of the commonwealth, and they are accompanied by the Senate, one rank down, who make many political decisions. The representatives are another rank down from senators, and they can pass up deals to the senators.
Before being integrated into the federation, the phelke doctrine focused on faster ships with a lot of firepower. They would use these to overwhelm the enemy with high power weapon fire and evade as much as possible. However, this doctrine is also based off - and reliant on - a significant espionage advantage. As they lacked a heavy hitting battleship, they relied on information to find and eliminate weak points which would be hidden to most other factions to advance.
Their holidays include the cyora worshipping day, where a large amount of people approach and worship the archaeotech artifacts on the worlds orbiting cyora. They originally thought that these were the works of a sort of higher species that transcended time and space. On this day the entire star nation has a public holiday. They also have integration day, celebrated on the day that they made contact with the hf. There are also various other chosen holiday dates as to not burnout the workers.
Upon making contact with the federation, they were terrified of the existance of the hm, and they were quite close to the phelke own home too. They realised that the STA ability would not help against the hm because the hm is a gestalt.
