-As a result of this rebellion, the perceived betrayal by their rulers, the fact that their Xiaah - [[:character:xiaah_harr_ikke_destiny_tur_lista|Destiny]] - had been killed years ago, and their time in the UOC, the Lorath within Asteria have undergone [[faction:asteria:lorath_culture|changes to their culture]]. Of note, they have less authoritarian leanings despite keeping many of their traditions, such as their religious adherence and selective breeding. Though the Lorath in Asteria still much of their old [[:faction:lorath:politics#lorath_castes|caste system]], they no longer look to the Tur'lista for leadership out of mistrust, leaving them a marginalized ethnicity. Though the Lmanel and Fyuunen still remain the spiritual and military castes, both New Tur'lista and surviving members of the [[:faction:lorath:groups:occhestian]] castes are dominant in the field of technology.+As a result of this rebellion, the perceived betrayal by their rulers, the fact that their Xiaah - [[:character:xiaah_harr_ikke_destiny_tur_lista|Destiny]] - had been killed years ago, and their time in the UOC, the Lorath within Asteria have undergone changes to their culture.

 Despite being shaken by these events, the Lorath continue to try and work together in unison as they did before, making them a small but powerful faction within Asteria. Despite being shaken by these events, the Lorath continue to try and work together in unison as they did before, making them a small but powerful faction within Asteria.

-As a suzerainty of the [[:faction:yamatai_star_empire]], Asteria is only allowed a small self-defense force known as the [[faction:asteria:shield_of_asteria]]. As a fledgling nation, the equipment it uses was taken out of storage and reactivated as a gesture of good faith from Yamatai; its fleet consists mostly relics of the not-long-gone UOC which had survived its fall. In order to compensate for its shortcomings, Asteria's relatively small military relies on being better trained and drilled while looking to the use of various force-multipliers wherever possible. When that alone is insufficient, it makes to hire Free Companies to bolster its numbers. +As a suzerainty of the [[:faction:yamatai_star_empire]], Asteria is only allowed a small self-defense force known as the [[faction:asteria:shield_of_asteria]].

 Most importantly however, the Star Army of Yamatai itself is only called upon to help with existential threats that the defense force would not be able to handle on its own. Most importantly however, the Star Army of Yamatai itself is only called upon to help with existential threats that the defense force would not be able to handle on its own.
