Othosaz Pact

The Othosaz Pact is an aggressive medium sized state bordering the Zed’drath Imperium, the Narn Union, the Cardassian Union, and what’s left of the Qvorite

Autocracy. The Pact was born through war and conflict and continues to brings instability to the region.

Government Structure
The Othosaz Pact is considered a military dictatorship ran by a “senate” of generals each representing a Pact world. Had it not been for the guidance of the Grand Marshall, these worlds would been at war with each other right after the Revolution. These generals are life appointed veterans from the White Revolution usually chosen by Saggubb, the first Grand Marshall. The planets controlled by the generals have their own armies and air force but are heavily reliant on the central government’s naval power to protect their space and mediate conflicts. The Grand Marshall is also a life appointed position and is the Supreme commander of the space fleets. But he/she is relies on the general’s planetary armies to keep planets in line. This system has inadvertently created a check and balance system that prevents both parties from becoming to powerful.

Society
Life under the pact is a life of “dog eat dog”. Citizens constantly fight amongst themselves to establish dominance over others. This nature to dominate permeates throughout all Pact society from prices to war and even in the bedroom. This behavior also affected their relations with other species. The Narn and the Cardassian Union especially were subjected to the Pact’s government various bullying and intimidation tactics before becoming overtly hostile when the two nations were severely weaken by their respective crises. Only the UST, the Zed’drath Imperium and the Animus ever put the Othosaz Pact in their place. The Pact also demonized their former masters, the Qvorite, to the point where Qvorite citizens have to employ other Pact species to protect them.

History
The Othosaz Pact’s history began during the White Revolution, when Saggubb the White killed a Qvorite guard on the mining planet Kuront. His defiance against the Qvorite Autocracy is what sparked the revolution. During the battle of Kuront, Saggubb had pick several Othosaz and Narn to become his lieutenants which would become the basis of the Pact’s governmental system. As Saggubb expanded the revolution so did the Pact’s borders. This rapid expansion cost him his life, leaving the fledgling state at the end of the war in the hands of his inexperienced and opportunistic lieutenants now generals. When the last of the Qvorite controlled systems surrendered, the territories were split amongst the victors under the watchful eye of the Zed’drath and UST. The generals believed that UST gave territory unfairly and threaten the newly formed Narn Union with war if their demands were not met. The New Grand Marshall, Xagragg, didn’t want to go war but was weak politically and not very popular and could never reign in the generals clamoring for war. After an attempted coup he eventually relented and declared war on the Narn. Before the war began however the Othosaz and the Rodians, who also felt stifled, declared a military alliance incase the Narn came to the UST for help.

1st Union/Pact War

The Invasion of Narn and its territories was brief due to the Union’s lack of a formal navy and army. All Narn systems were annexed into the Pact and the Narn were treated as second-class citizens. The Othosaz felt exuberant about their swift military victory but the generals had a hard time keeping down the reformed Narn Resistance.
