Rend Collective Triumvirate

The Rend Collective Triumvirate was formed in 19 BBY during the first day's of the Galactic Empire. The original founders of the Triumvirate was the Macgyver family based on Scarif, the Je'daii Master Ren Freck, and the Republic Remnant. The Triumvirate was formed when the Republic Remnant was looking for a secure base of operations to strike back against the Galactic Empire, and the various faction's of the Republic Remnant, Je'daii Order merged and the Rend Collective Triumvirate was formed. With the collective surviving the rule of Emperor Palpatine, the rule over their various systems for over 5 decades during the time the New Republic was formed. With the Galaxy largely unaware of the new power's in play, the Collective started growing with exploration out into the Unknown Regions and the Wild Space playing a large role in the growth of the Triumvirate.

History:
During the first day's of the Galactic Empire, the ruling family of the Outer Rim planet of Scarif, the Macgyver family came into contact with the Republic Remnant, who were seeking a base of operations to strike back and the newly formed Empire. With the help of ancient Je'daii Master Ren Freck they rediscovered the hyperlanes to the ancient Je'daii Order homeworld of Tython and the Tython system became the Capital system. With this achieved the Republic Remnant merged with the Je'daii Order to form the Rend Collective Triumvirate with the Je'daii Order relocating to their ancient homeworld.

Government and Politics
The Triumvirate was ruled by the Triumvirate Council, with each of the three members representing the three part's of the Triumvirate, Grand Master Je'daii representing the Je'daii Order, the Chancellor representing the Senate, and the Supreme Commander representing the Rend Military. With the three members of the Council each representing the various part's of the Rend Collective to make sure everyone was fairly represented. The Senate voted on the political movement's of the Triumvirate, The Rend Military voted on the war effort's of the Triumvirate, while the Je'daii Order represented the religious body of the Triumvirate. The Triumvirate Council voted on the future of the Triumvirate.

Legislative Branch
Each member state (system governments) returned a representative (a senator) to a central legislative body (the Senate). Senators were the ambassadors of their homeworlds, and member worlds were able to maintain their government and society in accordance with local beliefs, customs, and traditions. There was a wide variety of different local governments along the political spectrum: from monarchies to republics to hive-like communes. In some systems, the senator was elected to that post; in others, the world government appointed the senator. These Senators represented their systems and acted on the best interest of their people.

Executive Branch
The members of the Triumvirate Senate would elect a Chancellor to serve as the head of Government and as the chief diplomat. The Office of the Chancellor was the combination of staff, aides and government organizations that answered directly to the Chancellor. The Chancellor was elected from among the senators who made up the Triumvirate Senate and served a term of office that lasted for four standard years. A Chancellor could legally serve only two consecutive four-year terms before he or she had to step down due to term limits. The executive branch looked after running the government politics of the Triumvirate and also to run the General Ministry which itself included the Ministries of State, Intelligence, Commerce, Defense, Education, Finance, Licenses and Permits, Public Information, Science, Security, Internal Security, and Science and Education.

Judaical Branch
The Supreme Court was the highest court of law in the Rend Collective Triumvirate and composed the judicial branch of the Triumvirates government. The Supreme Court was headquartered in the Collective Courts of Justice Building on Shikaakwa. The Court consisted of twelve justices (each addressed as "Your Honor"); one of them was the Chief Justice who headed both the Court and the judicial branch. The Chancellor apparently could influence appointments to the Court in some way, most likely through nominations. In addition to serving as a "court of last resort" and as a determiner of constitutional legality, the Supreme Court also tried cases involving the highest politicians and most noteworthy people in the Triumvirate. However, at least some cases (including the trial of senators for treason) were handled by the Senate.

Economy
The Triumvirate influence over galactic economy was largely unheard of so the Triumvirate credit was only excepted on Triumvirate allied worlds.

At the heart of the galactic economy was the planetary trade. The 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, such as Xizor Transport Systems, or independent freight haulers to carry their goods along major hyperlanes. All working beings were required to pay income taxes, which were collected by the Collective Collection Agency. In Triumvirate had a transit tax of 10% was levied to raise revenue for the government.

Society and Culture
The Rend Collective Triumvirate 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 the Triumvirate: from religious communities like the Jedi to hive-like communes. The Triumvirate had a liberal policy towards arts also. The dominant aesthetic style of Galactic Republic-era was opulence and ornamentation which was adopted by the Triumvirate.

The Triumvirate focused on equality between Humans, Near-Humans, Non-Humans and Aliens so that unlike the Empire that abused all species except Humans, there would be harmony among all species and any offence between Humans and Non-humans was punishable from interrogation to light prison sentences.

Military
The Rend Collectives earliest day's were born in the wake of the violent cataclysm known as the Clone Wars. The Triumvirate keeps a standing Army, Navy and Military active to ensure the protection of all Triumvirate territory's.
