Pyrian Republic

When in Pyrian space, money can buy anything; including you.

The Pyrian Republic was founded at the location the original exodus from Earth arrived at. The nearby star systems did not posses any habitable planets or moons, and only a few were suitable for terraforming. In the end, the region was colonised by the crew of ships that were in too poor condition to carry on.

Pyrian society puts a price on everything, with everything for sale and nothing being sacred - but the price of the life of living beings is also entirely mathmatical. A child belongs to his parents, as much as to his parents' owners, and every slave has the right to buy themselves. No child is born free, and it makes for an unusual common demoninator.

Their central position compared to the other civilisations makes it an ideal place for trade, and due to the larger than normal amount of 'gates in the Pyrian systems travel to other civilisations is most commonplace.

What is percieved as shady business or an attempt to go back on a business agreement is punished most severely under the law. Someone renowned as a good customer or salesman, will likely be given preferential treatment.

Government
Recognises a President as ruler of the state, while being run by shareholders of the Republic.

Pyria has one of the lowest crime rates because property is held so highly, and there are very few morality-based laws.

Pyria has no formal military; businesses employ mercenaries, either belonging to the company or hired from another company.

Species
You can find literally any species in Pyria, even some that are not found anywhere else.
