Ginlenchy Concordance

"This grouping of independent starsystems has little in common except for the fact that all are signatories to the Treaty of Ginlenchy signed in 842. The clauses of the treaty permit free access to the systems by non-military of the Imperium, Krax Confederation, and Mandanin Co-Dominion. This access is monitored by representatives of the Marlan Primate and any disputes are generally referred to them for adjudication.

Previous history of this area has seen numerous conflicts over the resources of the starsystems between commercial and military forces of neighboring states. Agreement was reached at the suggestion of the Marlan Primate that a less belligerent and greedy approach would mean greater longterm benefits to all concerned.

Commercial competition is fierce but no large scale violence has broken out in this area in the last century and a half. Increasing population and tech levels on the worlds has led some of the independent systems to agitate for a "home rule" solution. Several of these systems are now sufficiently wealthy to recruit mercenary self-defense forces patterned after the Marlan Primate. Some societies retain a nostalgia of the past days of glorious combat and honorable warriors. These worlds have proved to be excellent recruiting grounds for outsystem low-tech mercenaries."
