Ptatl Shivery

The Ptatl Shivery is located in Twilight and predominantly composed of the Ptatl.

Government
The Shivery, like the Ptatl themselves, is a performance based government. Regional Governmental Colleges accept and train whatever students wish to enrol, developing and ranking their abilities physically, intellectually, emotionally, morally, artistically, and strategically.  Students are appointed to various government positions, from the lowest to highest, based on their abilities and  individual skill sets. The best candidate will always fill the most appropriate position.

The government is run by the Prime Power assisted by a set of Prime Ministers, all appointed by the Governmental College. Each Prime Minister will oversee governmental activities in an appropriate area, from law to infrastructure to the military to healthcare. The Prime Power will direct the activities of the Prime Ministers and coordinate communication with local governments.

Local governments, also appointed by the Governmental College, consist of a High Power and High Ministers, who are local equivalents of their Federal "Prime"counterparts.


Military
The Ptatl maintain a coordinated starfleet and ground forces, in the form of the Ministry of External Forces and the Ministry of Ground Forces, who work together but who are administered and train separately. Historically, they have tended to use Ptatl designed and built equipment, though recently they have begun to purchase more advanced technologies from outside sources, in particular the mega-corporations active in the Prodigal Void like Azatlath and Tzar.

The Ptatl emphasize versatility in military design and execution. They prefer carrier-concept ships that can dispense smaller craft specifically configured for the task at hand. In addition to actual carrier-role craft, their battleships, command craft, destroyers, and so on are all heavily supplemented with highly configurable launch craft.


Exploration and Colonization
The Ptatl Shivery maintains an aggressive exploration and colonization program through the Ministry of Exploration and Colonization. Though capable of defending themselves, particularly in cooperation with the Ministry of External Forces, they are not geared toward conquest, seeing more benefit in establishing trade and cultural and technological exchange with other races.
