Republic of Vanadia
The Star Nation representing the Vanadian species of the Hyperion Federation. The Star Nation is named after the homeworld of Vanadia, not the Vanadians as a species.
The Republic of Vanadia has proven quite useful to the HF due to the vanadian's unique engineering. As vanadians see engineering as an art form, most other races that attempt to study their technology simply cannot understand how it works. This makes reverse-engineering vanadian technology next to impossible for almost anyone except vanadians themselves. Even Yunkads can have trouble reverse enginering their technolgoy.
Due to this, the HF has adopted several vanadian engineering principles into their technology. This is to make recovery of HF technology even more diffcult for factions other than the HF. The vanadians themselves continually add more to it, which makes it ever more difficult for primitive and even major factions to understand. This would prove especially useful after the HEX Mainframe managed to infiltrate the Grand Archive. Due to this, the HM never was able to understand HF technology and has been unable to replicate the several techprints it took. The Vanadian Republic has been credited with the HM inability to steal HF technology, an event that would have otherwise led to disaster.
Like their name suggests, the Republic of Vanadia is a republic. They elect a leader, titled as the Key Vanadian, to lead for a term of approximately 3 years maximum. Sometimes a leader can start an election early through choice of giving up their leadership, death, rebellion from the people or some other means. A leader would often also have a political party to help the leader with various beurocraftic processes. The Republic has a strange culture. They value confusion - and often attempt to confuse other species, as well as each other, often using various jokes or pranks, as well as the strange engineering. This has earned Vanadian engineering the nickname of "enigmatic engineering". The vanadians are nonetheless a proud people due to their impact on the wider Hyperion Federation. Although the Republic of Vanadia is mostly Vanadian populated, there are other species that live under the republic as well. These species often attempt to adopt Vanadian culture, but in many cases are not sucessful. This can cause them to be somewhat awkward in some rare cases, but are accepted most of the time.
