Template:UnderConstruction Template:CivilWar-Faction The Draconian Union was an alliance of conservative noble houses within the Hapes Consortium that attempted to place Princess Da'tan on the Hapan throne in 3946. As the Consortium splintered and civil war broke out, the Draconian Union became a conservative and militaristic governmental faction which ruled over the Rifle Worlds and Rim Worlds regions.
Style of governance within the Draconian Union remained fairly similar to that which its subjects had experienced during the Age of Queen-Mothers, though as time went by and all factions of the conflict endured losses, the situation worsened on many planets. The Union enforced the will of its leaders by sometimes using excessive force and totalitarian control on some of its member-worlds.
History
Overview
Government
The Draconian Union maintained a strict and traditional government which honoured the feudal structure of Hapan society established by Queen-Mother Tini'duran III. All Tarii noble houses were represented at the Draconian court either by the Lady (or later Lord) of the house itself, or a representative such as a Vilicus. The Archons were also present if the topics of discussion called for it, but they were usually excluded and met with the nobles of their region if required in separate meetings.
Historians of the Hapes Consortium have concluded that Princess Da'tan was heavily influenced by the more powerful noble houses such as House Olanji and House Par'wandi. House Ci'hani functioned as a buffer, giving the Princess a more neutral second opinion when required.
When Lady Ci'hani functioned as Regent following Princess Da'tan's death, she groomed Princess Da'tanah to be a more independent and strong ruler capable of dealing with House Olanji without risking the collapse of the Union.
