Magisterium

Formation
In the decades prior to the establishment of the Magisterium, a terrible plague consumed all but few humans across the galaxy causing the species to partially became extinct. Secession grew during this period and civil wars ravaged different parts of the Galaxy. Into this critical situation stepped Riose Vizla, a Voss Senator who had vowed to end this period of barbarism and so, stirred up nationalist sentiments on many worlds, paving the way to build a new government that began as a mutual protection and economic alliance among worlds in the Mid Rim and the Outer Rim.

Government and politics
The Magisterium was a federal republic, properly defining the roles of both the federal government and the member worlds and states.

Economy
At the heart of this government's economy was planetary trade. Interplanetary trade could support a local economy, but, in many cases, the high levels of economic interaction and the massive scale of exchange required for an advanced society could only be funded by interplanetary exports. While some planets maintained their own shipping fleets, most relied on large freight firms to carry their goods along major hyperlanes.

Society and culture
This government had a very diverse culture. Member worlds were able to maintain their own culture in accordance with local beliefs, customs, and traditions. There was a wide variety of different cultures within it: from religious communities to hive-like communes. This government had a liberal policy towards arts also. The dominant aesthetic style was opulence and ornamentation.

Military
Consisting of predominantly an Army and a Imperial Navy, the Magisterium's military was responsible for carrying out operations throughout the galaxy, as well as maintaining order on this governments member worlds.
