 It is best described as a frontier area where the central Imperial government of Yamatai has almost no presence other than a handful of [[stararmy:Star Army of Yamatai]] assets. Asteria was founded in [[calendar:YE 39]] following the departure of the [[faction:Lorath Matriarchy]] from the region. As a result, it is now a self-governing [[wp>Suzerainty|Suzerainty]], run as a [[wp>Constitutional_monarchy|Constitutional Monarchy]] ruled by a [[wp>Mikado]], who could be male or female. The Asterian Mikado ultimately defers in matters of international affairs to the Empress of Yamatai, but remains sovereign in all other aspects, including the raising and equipping of troops.  It is best described as a frontier area where the central Imperial government of Yamatai has almost no presence other than a handful of [[stararmy:Star Army of Yamatai]] assets.

-Born, bred and engineered to be appealing, submissive and unoffensive by the Lorath for hundreds of years, the [[species:helashio|Helashio]]((Basically Lemur People)) of Asteria find themselves conflicted by their newfound freedom. With the disappearance of the Matriarchy, fear hangs over their heads like a guillotine ready to strike as liberty presents them with the unknown. The vast majority of the Helashio choose to become indentured servants, having known little else, and flock to the comforting bosom of the Asterian Lorath or otherwise selling their high-end services to the crowds that continue to demand. However, a small, brave few still have something special to them despite centuries of utter subjugation. Somehow, someway, the old blood coursing through their veins still remembered a time when they shot down the Lorath from the skies with muskets in hand.+Born, bred and engineered to be appealing, submissive and unoffensive by the Lorath for hundreds of years, the Lemur-like [[species:helashio|Helashio]] of Asteria find themselves conflicted by their newfound freedom.

 +
 +Religious idealists, the [[:species:iromakuanhe]] are unique in that they have stayed true to their roots while keeping their beliefs relevant in this modern age of space-faring ships and high technology. As dream mystics, they are open minded and tolerant of others, with a [[:faction:iromakuanhe:culture|culture]] that encourages enlightenment and understanding. Well known for their biotechnology and exotic foods such as kebab, hummus, tabouleh and masgouf, they would have been a welcome addition to Asura III were it not for the military incident responsible for their presence; the crashing of the [[faction:iromakuanhe:vsv_boutros]] in [[calendar:ye_36]]. Though [[stararmy:task_force_lantern|Task Force Lantern]] was able to resolve the incident, the Iromakuanhe were framed, and were largely blamed for the massive loss of life from the impact and following ground skirmishes.
 +
 +Most of those who remain on Asura III, or have immigrated to it since then, are not only drawn to the foreign cultures of the world, but also a desire to both show the Iromakuanhe at their best, and the strong, driving wish to vindicate their good people's name. Though they number just a few hundred, they bear the resentment of their neighbors with dignity and friendliness as they search for what their people hold sacred; the truth.
