A governing document created to change how the Reds govern themselves, the Charter of the Nepleslian Reds (also known as the Compact of Rights) was created in late YE 44.4.30. It was adopted as the governing document of the Territorial Administration Services in YE 45.
Ever since the Tymian Empire was merged into the United Empire Forces, the Nepleslian Reds (descending from remnants of the Empire) has been governed by “who has the biggest gun”. It worked as competent leaders tended to ascend to positions where they inspired and had the biggest gun. The years before the Fall of Kennewes, more and more incompetent and corrupt individuals were finding themselves in positions of leadership.
After the coup of late YE 43, there was much celebration as many Reds realized there was a chance for an improvement of their standing in the sector. They also realized, in their drunken state, that they needed to reform how governance was done within the faction to prevent a repeat of their sorry state. On the dance floors and karaoke rooms of the Red Weasel Club, the Charter of the Nepleslian Reds was born.
