Ketling Star Pack

The Ketling Star Pack or KSP for short is the main governing body of the Ketling Cluster.

Government Structure
The KSP is run by a Oligarchic structured government, each "Oligarch" representing their worlds in a rudimentary senate. This Senate known as the Far-minds handle day to day cases on their home planets and once so often, mostly during emergencies or through great importance do they meet up in a special building at the capital. Overseeing the senate is the Coordinator, a leader chosen from the group every 20 to 40 years. The Coordinator's job is to unite the colonies under one ruler and attend or do certain things important to Ketling culture; essentially a figure head. Coordinators can be sacked by the oligarchs by any given time, preferring them to stick to their provided program with no deviations.

Society
Ketling society is built on the idea of leaving their homes and going on adventures of exploration. Since their cluster is blocked off from the rest of galaxy by the Enigmatic Fortress, this need for exploration is even more prevalent in their media. TV shows, books all seeks to learn about the outer galaxy. Any aliens, usually Zed'drath explorers arriving on their outer colony, Windy Reaches are met "oohs and ahhs" among the populace and with many traveling from all over the cluster to see them. Ketling Culture has an unusual reverence to their long since dead masters. They hold their former masters trash and ruins in high regard, preferring to building buildings out of it rather than make their own materials.

History
The Star Pack’s history began long before they had traveled to other worlds. After forming a technologically dependent civilization, the Ketling began using their master’s tech to contact other worlds in the cluster. Even after meeting others on other worlds they still preferred to stay on their planets. The arrival of the Zed’drathian exploration ship ZEF Haldrix change the course of their civilization forever. The crew on board the ship were escaping from a small Falmitan strike force and warped to the Ketling’s home system. After making contact with the team and sharing of technology, The Ketlings began to mass industrialized their planets. They saw their planets as "another cage" they had out grown and sought to leave for the stars. After leaving their burrows behind and creating colonies on other planets in their cluster they had found out they were stuck in another "cage" as the only way out of the cluster was through a star route that was guarded by the hostile Enigmatic Fortress. Despite this, they were well protected from any onslaught the Falmitan sent after them during the Hive Wars.
